Fix incoming 😬
They removed my forum post complaining about the new patch.
Could I get a link to your profile on the forums? I'd like to see what's happened.
Will check it out.
How did they do this. This is a two large speed sail Schooner. It was spotted today on Kraken Maw NA PVP. How do you make a schooner with 2 Large speed sails? Is this legit?
Looking into this
No one at Grapeshot has moderation powers here, though I'll send a message to MisterWoodhouse so he can check it out.
How does one report players for Cheating?

Wipes aren't something we'll do very often, typically it'll only be when the situation is extreme and calls for it. This company has unfortunately had members who are consistently being banned for using 3rd party progs and at some point we have to draw the line and say enough is enough.
We understand that there may be innocents who get caught up in it, and we recognize it's difficult to keep tracks on everyone in your company but if we find that particular companies continue to show up with aimbotters/3rd party progs, then we'll take futher action rather than letting the group consistently gain an advantage with the use of third party progs. Our standard approach is to handle things on a case by case basis, investigate the reports as they come in, allow BattlEye to do it's job (and it's been caught quite a lot so far) with further intervention as necessary.
Read moreYep. Me and a few buds were sailing after patch and zoned and all got disconnected and were unable to reconnect, though somehow a few of them made it back in.
Looking into this at the moment, what server are you experiencing this on? Grid and specific Network would be good.
As the title states, Drakes are simply too unbalanced now. Unless you have a defensive drake nearby to defend, you can kiss any ships that you have goodbye. I'm not saying the drake shouldn't be powerful and tough, but allowing a drake to sink a ship in 2 minutes with 150K hp is a recipe for making this a dragon simulator vs a pirate game.
Some quick stats on damage numbers to take down a drake:
Blunderbuss: 9 dmg = 16,667 shots to kill
Carbine: 53 dmg = 2,830 shots to kill
Mortar: 197 dmg = 761 shots to kill
Ballista: 300 dmg = 500 shots to kill
The inability to kill this monster off is a sure fire way to crush the morale of anyone that spent time on their fleet. We will rebuild, we will likely use the drake, because without it there is no way to be competitive in this game, especially at PVP.
Thanks for the feedback folks. The design around the Drake is that we would like it to be a worthwhile gold investment for a company. It it's current iteration, it is clearly too powerful. We'll be making some adjustments asap in an upcoming patch, and are open to making more going forward.
We just took our island back from Gucci gang Company here and now Drakes and Whales are spawning in here... #Streamerhouse Company https://clips.twitch.tv/SmilingPopularAntelopeFloof
Well we killed the hacker spawned whale with guns and a cannon at least! lol https://www.twitch.tv/videos/366878832

I posted this about 5 mins after it started, around 330AM Eastern APPROX
3HR Rollback: They rolled back to mid clearing of this base.. First sighting of the whale/drake spawns was 15 mins approx after we cleared their base, and first sighting/post was mine AT the exact location of the base. Way to coincidental how this all played out and where it started..
IMO Avoid Gucci Gang company. They've been all over chat, spamming our discord, etc etc to top it off lol.
Official note from Grapeshot: https://www.playatlas.com/index.php?/forums/topic/35988-emergency-maintenance-na-pvp-rollback
830 AM EST AFTER ROLLBACK Gucci gang ended up with like 30 people online after the roll back. Most of us gave up and logged out. Llnk gets on and gets 1 shot through walls: https://clips.twitch.tv/SmallLuckyRaisinChefFrank not to mention the rest of the strange/questionable things happening during the stream/attack from them..
ADDED 8pm 1/20: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/366185425?t=27h59m17s is around the time we wiped them off island/claiming back before things go crazy. We also had another member join chat after we explained the Masterworked items they were coming out of the base with were sketch, but never getting supplies, say they got them from us but we literally have no items crafted like that lol.
I will say thank you to Jatheish and Dollie as soon as I pinged them and made the thread they got on it, sadly we're pretty convinced these guys from the Gucci Gang Company had something to do with it but I do thank Grapeshot for responding quick.
Looking into this right now.

The elephant change took place as specific-resource weight reduction was not something that they were intended to do, however, we'll be re-balancing the base weight of all tamable creatures early next week.
We just logged back in after the patch and now we can't get out of or enter any of the 4 doors on our schooner. Anyone else?
Looking into this
Update: We'll have a fix incoming shortly, have been informed it's server-side change and retroactive so after we redeploy the servers you'll be able to use doors/gateways again.
If that was the guy with the dreads on stream, I'm inclined to believe you, he had such a smug look on his face the entire stream while ignoring the entire twitch chat about the cheats.
I am the person with the fake dreads, though I'm not able to view chat during the stream so didn't have any idea what was being said.
The clip was in reference to a change we made to the bug report category on the forums, upvotes have been enabled so users can vote on bugs that are important to them, though we'll be working on a more improved reporting system in the near future.

Read moreSo I was trying to figure out why my intelligence was lower than I expected in my intelligence gear when I realized my pants have two Intelligence bonuses: * "Intelligence" * "+Intelligence"
After some trial and error, I was able to determine that "Intelligence" bonuses do nothing. "+Intelligence" bonuses stack additively with each other, and multiplicatively with your base intelligence from leveling.
We'll check it out
Thanks for the report guys, we'll be removing them from our Official Network as well as working on patching out the vulnerability they are exploiting.
- Animals tamed after the patch cannot have their inventory accessed
2.Ramshackle sloops vanish after leaving freeports(havent tested)
3.Natures Touch/Cry does not affect bears(wolves work as intended)(untested)
4.Stone Gates are effectively duping machines now
5.You guys increased animal RESISTANCE to guns, ya goofs
Cheers for the thread, going to start looking into these reports.

Well, not really for science. I have a full map private server that I was having issues with on some server transfers, so after changing up ports and such I decided to go on a larger adventure while the map was empty to make sure everything was working. I also wanted to see how long it would take to do with all the factors such as the tornado things, ships of the damned, me avoiding islands, and of course no lag and rubberbanding that you get on official.
Anyways, 2 hours and 20 minutes later, my journey was complete. the shortest it took me to cross a server was 6 minutes and 42 seconds and the longest was 12 minutes 38 seconds.
Not quite sure where the whole "30 hours to cross" thing the devs were stating before release came from. The only sailing speed increase was a couple patches ago and that was what? 15%? So even 15% less speed would have made this no where near that 30 hour mark.
Another thing, if you see my health and food stats in the bottom, I didn't eat or drink during the journey and never died. My health never went down. Only the vitamins went down, but only to a certain point and then it stopped. Does the captain's food and water not go down while sailing?
EDIT:
Here is the follow up post with video evidence: https://www.reddit.com/r/playatlas/comments/adrvxj/for_those_who_didnt_believe_my_sail_across_the/
Posted a reply below, but "cheat" ships by default ignore wind direction (always travel at max speed for current wind) and do not require any crew to man the sails. You can tell if your current ship is ignoring wind if you see a yellow "W" with a line through it on the HUD:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cykvxui47xgV3QQYFyAbP0zrBtgVFBgZ/view?usp=sharing
Otherwise you will see this:

If you would like to disable this after you spawn in a cheat ship, type "cheat SetIgnoreWind false". Looking forward to another test! :)
Read morehmm, that'll be a good test to run. Not sure what sails I was using, I'll look into it when I get a chance. All I did was load into the server and then run the "cheat ssf galleon" command and used that boat with whatever it came with.
FYI / PSA: "cheat" ships ignore wind and always travel at maximum speed.
