This game's progression, good or bad?

[Neduz]

Hi!
It's been long since I played this game. Back in 2019, I think. It had just been released in Early Access and me and my friends played it for some time.

So, how's this game progressing? When looking at the reviews it doesn't look good, but few of those I've read are informative so I can't really make out if this game is worth re-installing. Following things I've read in the reviews worry me:

- Focus on PvP. As a PvE-player I wonder what my possibilities are on ever playing this game again. I'm not doing PvP. Are there other servers for PvE-play?
- Ship-building gone? What? Will we not be able to build our own ships any longer? That's retty much the sole reason for playing this game over any other! This one just can't be true.
- Content since 2019. Has alot changed or not?
- Treasure hunting, does it work? I've become quite addicted to treasure hunting in Sea of Thieves, as it's very fun and well made. Is it similar in this game? I never really got into this aspect of this game before.

They shouldn't let people write ♥♥♥♥ about these games on the store page, this game won't get the attention it needs from perspective buyers, and people like me who want to play the game with and against others will suffer.

Then the company is like "♥♥♥♥ making video games, everyone here is toxic" and trust me at that point nobody is going to create content for us. You will be bored.

i guess you never played the launch then....

dead is perspective. i meet and play with people, it's less than before. Your problem sounds like it's other players. If that's the case NA PVP should be for you.

you can never take things back from free people. This guy doesn't want to spend gold on simulated ship building labor, even though it makes sense to choke solo players from driving around a massive beast right away. the gold climb isn't difficult, loot rates have been tuned along with pretty much everything.

Unofficials sound dumb to me, but that's anyone's decision to leave the main server. The game is evolving, it will change.

Farmhouses mean you don't have to lift a finger to have 10000 weight total of all nearby resources. Turn it on and come back in an hour and it's full while you're doing other things.

This game got totally duced on. The majority of the 60k people that refunded right away, god knows what they're playing now there isn't a game that comes close like this available anywhere else on the market.

I'm from Sweden so I'd rather be on a server closer to home so that it doesn't affect my ping too much.

Well, one of the things I did like back when I first played it was the fact that we could actually design our own ships. If we can just spend gold to get a premade ship it takes alot of the fun out of it. So my question has more to do with how much of the ship building aspect that is still there, or if it's just simply gone. Can you still build your own ships, even though you must buy the rights for it first or do you just buy and get a generic ship out of the box?

I am mostly interested in playing this game with a few friends and PVP is not a valid option for me, because I don't like how people can just raid my stuff and halt my progress when I'm offline (or online, doesn't matter. Just play with me or leave me be but don't let the game be a waste of time for me). Back in the days me and my friends could get on a PVE server 10X10 grid (I think) with everything amplified x5, or something like that, which made it easier to make progress faster. Is this still possible?

I do like the idea of farmhouses though! Does this work with gold aswell? Can you sell crops and stuff for money?

I too believe games nowadays gets too much undeserved negative feedback. When I played this game it had "Mostly negative" reviews and I had a hell lot of fun with it and never understood it. People also review things that makes me go "eh? What?". But the reviews about ship building not being in the game did get my eyebrows to raise because that would be a cardinal sin.

The game is PVP based more than ever. here is one godo example, they moved official PVE server to the f**ing Europe, EUROPE! It is impossible to enjoy their official pve because it is so laggy.
There have been changes, and new items. I d specifically wanna mention automation. The devs said they want people spend more time at sea, thus they decreased the need of taming breeding and gathering materials.
People nowdays spam farm houses and warehouses which auto collect from farmhouses.
There are not significant changes in mechanics and the way to play the game.
Overall, the game hasnt change much. Worst problem in my opinion is that there are still bugs that kill you, make you lose personal items animals and crew members.
I wish this game was more liek Ark, where they actually could fix major issues, expand and add new way to play. Atlas is slower. It is slower to be developed, slower to be polished and improved.
At the end of the day, it is one of the few games of this kind. If I quit it today, I dont have the same game to play. And so I and my fellow Atlas players curse the game and then we keep playing :-)

That means I, as a f**king european, might be able to enjoy their official PVE pretty well?

The game was going in a good direction but then something happened, I believe the dev team changed or something...And the current devs only care about PvP.

I am kinda hoping the game dies and is abandoned so modders can make it somewhat playable again without having the mods broken by some new idiotic update that further hampers the already fragile stability of the game.

I see your point, but I hope that the devs actually make it a better game. If it gets abandoned the game itself will die a horrible, horrible death.

In single player it crashes a lot when saving the game and is very very laggy even though i have a good pc.
