Some of Atlas's Most Punishing Features to be Toned Down in the Next Pair of Patches - MMORPG.com
Atlas is going to be getting a pretty hefty update today that is bringing a number of significant changes to systems that have been identified as some of its most punishing. In particular, cooking, land ownership, survivalism, progression and creature balance are getting tweaked. "We like it a little rough, but we understand when things go too far, sometimes it just takes the fun out and that's when we need to consider -- is this piece of the puzzle really worth it?" developers wrote.

I have been intrigued by Atlas recently. I think i'm going to buy it when it goes on sale. I was almost going to jump into the ARK game but then i'm just reading up recent steam reviews on Atlas and they seem to be fun. I am not a pirate person, but I do like exploring.
On a side note: Can you find random NPC's, enslave them, and sell them in port?
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
The overall rating is still Mostly Negative with 18,000 reviews.
Steam reviews for sure brutal but people buying the game, as for today it's on the top seller list.
I have watched some of the end game or high lvl stuff not a fan of the plate armor look at all.
Wonder why they included it, can't imagine being on a ship in any sort of heavy armor.
Oh well, probably will go good with the machine guns released in a future expansion.

So ridiculous. Games has been circling the drain since day one. Over priced private servers arent helping either many got their free trial (some places were offering those) and they have disappeared. There are a few but not many if any look like theyre worth it.
They are supposed to be delivering the mod kit soon so that MIGHT put a little bit of life back into those.
Treasure maps and rarer recipes (which was a big thing in ARK) isnt even a thing in this game because people have so many things they dont even bother. Then when they run into someone with those higher level items call them glitches or cheats because theyre doing things their generic crap cant do. So hilarious.
But these last patches are showing their desperation on trying to keep people playing this trash. But theyre doing the exact opposite. With zero progression and nothing to do once you get the 'shineys' making all that easier to get defeats the purpose.
Its also reached the point where there isnt any PvP either (not that it was actual PvP anyway) as all the big corps (run by streamers) all basically avoid each other. Even the dreaded Chinese, and there arent any pockets of resistance left. That and I think Devs told these guys to maybe calm down exterminating everyone on every map.
They didnt crack 40K people last night. People can blame it being a Monday but no real excuse. Just half the people who survived the first few days of crashes and DC got bored, got wiped, or realized it wasnt all that.
