So to all the PVE Players

[Scooby Doo]

out there. How does it feel to know the game you supported then waited a year on for updates has announced

"As a reminder, while we focus on PVP gameplay, there will be one global PVE server for the time being. PVP servers will remain region-specific."

So we PVE players get it royally as the toxic waste in the community seems to win. So this game will be full of cheaters, cowards, and hackers effective this Friday.

I supported this game for the last year and a half. I took the team on their word. Now I find out that the game I bought is no longer existing and that I am stuck with something that I do not want.

Anyone want to join me in a demand from our country's Consumers Protection Departments that we are issued a refund effective yesterday? First I get shafted from No Man Sky, now Grapeshot is doing the exact same thing, giving it up the butt because well they can.

Oh and those that support this turn to PVP only support do not want to hear this is EA blah blah blah. This has nothing to do with being EA. This has to do with not being the game that I and many others bought. PVP is the MINORITY of the community as with most survival games. They are just the most toxic, disrespectful among us. So after review bombing they get their way.

I urge anyone that bought this game for PVE to go to the reviews right now and warn off others, PVE and PVP alike. I am done supporting WC,GS their merry band of misfits.

Meh. I'm here for the PVE only. I'm OK with it. It is what it is.
Good luck with your CPD endeavors.

Well here is hoping that not everyone is willing to watch as the game becomes unplayable for them. If you are a PVE player and they are removing PVE then guess what? You will not get to play. Community servers are near impossible to run how things are built. GS has shafted us but you go ahead drop your head in the sand and hope for the best. Not sure why you felt the need to comment if you just want to roll over belly up.

LOL... Go play on the 1 PVE server they will have Or Grow your skill and come play on the PVP server in your area.. You should be happy they are only making one PVE server. The population should be higher then it was and more stable. Not like you have to worry about PVP latency

Yes because everyone likes being ganged on by a bunch of PVP cowards that like to prey on the weak and unexperienced. No thank you, I will just put GS in a position where they are forced to consider their business plan carefully. Ditching the majority of your playerbase because a few toxic kiddies demand it seems silly. Make no mistake PVP is the minority for this game. They are also the hackers and exploiters. They are the review bombers and toxic kiddies in the forums. It is this way with most PVP games.

Well to be honest it really is a PVP specific game so its good they are concentrating on that first.

im sad its going to more pvp. i loved the PvE aspect. so I ve decided that im not going to play on after the wipe and im not going to let the server wipe gods kill my ships so im taking my 2 x fully loaded galleons out tonight and then hunt ghost ships in the hard squares with the lvl 45+ ghost ships, they wont be coming back nor will the crew. and im going to scuttle the rest. #dissappointed

They might want to change their store page, as even that says pve and singleplayer are as big a focus as pvp: Choose Between PvP and PvE Play

Choose between PvP or PvE play on our official servers:

On a PvP server, everything is up for grabs: be it ships, player inventories, NPC crewmembers, tames, player-built structures, player-owned territory, and lots of other loot. If you can get your hands on it, you can take it for yourself. Do you have what it takes to become the most notorious pirate on the high seas?

Care for a less “cutthroat” experience? Join one of our PvE servers and cooperate with thousands of other players to explore the globe, discover new secrets, and even fight mythical creatures together. Create powerful companies with old friends or build an entire player-run town with some new ones. The world of ATLAS is yours to shape!

Create Mods and Custom Servers

Want to build a World War II Spitfire? Or how about an Arcadian Steampunk Airship floating through a cloud-world? These examples and much more are provided with the ATLAS Dev Kit, where you can effectively create whatever large-scale action game you want to see: all supported by the database-driven network technology that powers ATLAS. Unofficial ATLAS mods can be of any size and configuration, while a visual map tool lets server hosts layout their own complete custom world -- all dynamically streamed to the client during gameplay.

Play in Singleplayer and Non-Dedicated Private Sessions

In addition to experiencing ATLAS on our official/unofficial servers with thousands of other players, you can now enjoy ATLAS by yourself in our Singleplayer mode, or with up to eight friends privately in our Non-Dedicated Server mode. Adjust the game to suit your preferences and enjoy your own private version of ATLAS.

I think you guys are misunderstanding. PVE isn't going away they are just centralizing it to one server. PvP will have 2 servers and the upcoming changes will be affecting PvP mostly.

[Basic]

Since The Maelstrom is a new journey, server wipes will be necessary for a fresh new start.
As a reminder, while we focus on PVP gameplay, there will be one global PVE server for the time being. PVP servers will remain region-specific.

Yeah, the Atlas vacation however brief gave me just enough time to find a game that is more interesting and that does not force me to deal with the prospect of forced pvp.

Knowing that whenever the game isn't going in a positive direction the immediate answer is to go "Cancel Culture" on the playerbase and wipe all their effort is enough to know what to expect in the future.

Ironically, I would have played the game how it was for 2+ more years if it was left as is.

[Scooby Doo]

Well folks best way that PVEers can be heard is in the Reviews!! I already changed my review first thing this morning to reflect what has happen. They have clearly said the focus is not going to be PVP so yeah another Rust.

It is really sad as I was excited to see the pirates in the game and that being polished a bit. Had hopes for SOTD too.

Well PVPers will come back on Fri and will have forgotten this game inside a month. Why? Well since they play in groups of 50+, they will have a battle fleet inside a week and conquer the servers inside another week.

Again people have your voice heard do not allow those that like the cowardness that is PVP to stop you. Write your review and be heard. Bring that score back down and show GS that they are making a mistake.

There is no forced PVP. PVE will remain with one server. PVE players won't have to join PVP.

lots of unofficial servers out theres aswell could find a decent pve one i bet...

[b0nehead]

PVP is easier to make and that's why they're doing this. PVP they make their own toxic content and thats fine. Like SoT and how empty is that game. It's pure pvp and NOTHING ELSE.

We def got the shaft and it's high time for the neg review.

[McLards]

I was hoping they would have brought the play styles together. Kraken in the middle surrounded by the golden age zones, golden age surrounded by lawless with everything inside lawless being PvP. Outer zones being safe zones for the PvErs. I don’t mind the PVP style, but it’s hard to play solo or a small company on PvP. Meh, would have been cool to play both sides of the coin.
