Honestly I don't even know where to start?
I have 24 hours into this game, I thought the concept was great. Huge MMO with 40k on a server, make your own ships etc. Turns out it's not even close.
I have over 3000 hours into ark I know it was rough at the start, but let me explain my story.
I waited a few days after launch to play the game as I knew it was going to be a rough start. After a few patches I jumped into the game when I could and enjoyed what it was, I was so excited to get into atlas that I took my raft out for it's inaugural voyage and it was the most painful gaming experience of my life. I sailed from the freeport to the closest island and tried to sail back but was fully against the wind, so I sat for a good few hours until I was able to tack? back to the freeport. While I was stuck on the ocean I died several times due to not having food or water and instead I had a bed and just let my guy die over and over. It was annoying but what ever. Well...
