ARK Survival Evolved Dev Tracker

That's a fair point -- other pirate games have less ships.

I think the big difference is that the Skeleton Ships in Sea of Thieves actually have skeletons that you can fight, and there's more than one way to sink them. That adds a whole lot more gameplay/immersion than just "I shoot cannons at an empty ship."

Think about it from a PvE perspective: There's currently no such thing as raiding/boarding ships in a pirate game. If you want to swashbuckle something, you have to go on land and dig up a chest. But even that combat is clunky and unsatisfying -- which is why ATLAS combat is pretty much just a sniping game: Slowly reload gun via mini-game > Shoot once > slowly reload gun via mini-game.

It would have been cool to see a really rich move-set to allow for more detailed combat. Things like rolling, grappling, execution animations, dodges, etc, could make melee combat more engaging, and make ground combat more viable.

yeah but those act like normal bins/refrigerators right (also haven't use much of s+)? if so then the meat would spoil slower than being in your inventory whereas the spoilling bin from automated ark makes things spoil a lot faster and keeps things like spoiled meat last a lot longer

I think they meant more verity, not literally more spawns everywhere.

Launching a pirate game with only like 3 pirate ships was... bold?

And I was massively disappointed when I realized that they don't even have crews. I wanted to throw a hook, swing over, and do swashbuckling battle with skeletons. But no, it's an empty shell that just magically shoots cannons without a crew.

And Grapeshot would have you believe that many of these Changes are not possible or will take many months to do.

What's the reason for not adding more pirates ships to your, you know, pirate game?

It is literally the same engine, you just added some more ue blueprint systems like the water.

You still haven't learned that lies suck .

I think you're missing the point here, Jesse. Trust is like a currency and because of the actions in the past by WC and now Grapeshot, you're flat broke. You'll need to build some trust if you want to come in here, say shit that seems unlikely, and have people just take you at your word.

Yeah it'll work just like Ark where if you want crossplay you have to purchase it on the Microsoft store. Atlas will not cross play via Steam.

How about they make the game prioritize pirate fun shenanigans instead of grindy anti fun mechanics. There is a reason the trailer got so much hype, make all that stuff shown there easy to experience. There are ways to add some grind without it effecting every aspect of the game.

Yeah im interested to see how the cross platform works because steam doesn't cross games with Xbox because of Microsoft. Might have to buy the game again just to play cross platform.

Good meme, tek buggys have been spotted suicide bombing into turret towers with zero punishment towards the offending tribe.

Weird that a patch with so little new content is almost 12gb, I can't imagine that fixing a spawning bug with Fire Wyverns and incompatibility with Tek Gauntlets will need a whole lot of files to be edited.

Methinks there's a load of new secret stuff that's been added to HLNA ("Misc. HLNA polish")

Why isn't there one, out of curiosity?

It isn't even an official discord. Wildcard have stated multiple times that there is no official discord for Ark.
