I see what you mean, I'll clarify. It's more for the immediate term than the long term, my bad. We'll be carrying out internal testing with our Xboxes over the next 10 days on this network and it'll allow us to deal with any fatal errors or issues that could crop it. Unfortunately, we can only get so much data from our current internal processes & the PTR, so experiencing the game on the console in a live environment will be highly beneficial. Anything that does come up, we'll have the time to iterate on and get any changes in as necessary for a possible Day One patch on consoles. It'll ensure that the new friends joining us have a much smoother experience. That in turn poses the team to see what we'll need to focus on next, whether it's continuing to iron out issues from the launch, or whether we can begin to work on the Roadmap (and the phases of that).

We understand the frustration behind the decision, it's not falling on deaf ears -- we expected this response to the decision, however, the choice was for technical reasons. The extra time allows us to continue to iterate on the game, in particular, the Xbox build. It also allows us to gather more real-world data in order to improve the experience in the long near term.

Nope, we're not merging any servers. As the announcement says, we're relaunching NA PVP and then the other 3 networks will be relaunched on the 8th of October when ATLAS is available on Game Preview is available. The team plans to use this extra window to continue to iterate on the game and take care of any technical issues which could arise.

That post is still accurate. We are planning to take down the servers, wipe them and relaunch NA PvP at midnight EST. Approximately 4 hours from now. If anything changes, we'll provide an update when we have one, and closer to the launch time.

Ahoy Pathfinders!

This Captain’s Log will cover ... nevermind -- we’re too excited, so point yer prows hither and let’s get to it.



Crossplay Launch The much-awaited Crossplay Launch is imminent! As in, really imminent. ATLAS will launch into Xbox One’s Game Preview on October the 8th with full Day One with crossplay support allowing Steam and Xbox to play together in the same gigantic world.



Official Network Wipe After evaluating our options with the introduction of cross-platform multiplayer and a modified world map, we have decided that the best option to ensure the smoothest possible game experience is that our Official Networks undergo a data wipe on the 28th of September at 12 am EST. Following the wipe, we will be permanently relaunching the NA PvP Network in order to iterate on our changes in a live-... Read more
