Continuing to give us feedback and let us know about your experiences, what you think needs to be changed, etc. As everyone is already doing. The onus is on us to make changes and go from there. We're open to making some pretty big changes, more open than I've ever known us to be in my tenture at the studio, which is damn fantastic. I will say though, this is a process. It's not something that can be done overnight so whilst it's rocky now, that won't be the case forever.

I still believe the game has a lot of potential but we've got a lot of work to do. Would you rather work on a product you didn't believe in and not put in the effort to make it successful? :P Seems like the majority of the internet believed in it too, a lot of folks were excited about the launch, even with the delays; we got a hell of a lot of attention and people wanting to play Day 1. However it's clear that the game has problems that we need to resolve, and I'm not speaking just from a technical/bug fixing point of view, but also a design point of view.

We are taking a different approach with ATLAS, it does not need additional content at this time (at least, not in the grand sense). ARK was very content orientated and getting in more things for people to do. ATLAS doesn't have that problem. There's already a lot to do, but there are concerns with how accessible that is for the majority of the players, the systems lack polish, in some cases they're buggy beyond playable, ...

Appreciate ya putting this together, recognize we have a lot of work to do and we're going to make changes. Trust me, it won't be falling on deaf ears.

We'll be enabling 2x bonus rates this weekend, it'll happen when the patch goes out later tonight.
