I watch Forsen, and it's the most dada cyberpunk experience available. Three different music pieces blaring over voice chat at all times, samples of "Allahu Akbar" on permanent loop, high level chinese players whose characters don't display properly ganking people, again a different song blaring from voice chat, this time finnish polka or something, people burning, shouting around, griefing their own team, griefing everyone else, alpha animals. In the words of Twitch, "pure cancer and aids".

Your description is just perfect. Can't watch that stream longer that 5 seconds. I am happy they are putting the fire below the chinese. Atlas is a beautiful game when everything is on fire.

They moved in next door, started loving with our allies. So we sunk a bunch of their ships.

We go play orbital catch around the curvature of the earth, son.
Summary of events:

1 - MAGA, a group of racist shitheads who have been pissing off people in the region, attacks a non-hostile chinese company (CSTG) who are actually allied to a lot of english-speaking groups in the area.

2 - CSTG retaliates and wipes out MAGA's home base.

3 - MAGA tries backstabbing one of our allies (merry men) to our south by abusing alliance to drop their defenses so they can steal their land and claim a new home base.

4 - MAGA proceeds to get shat on by us and our available allies as we destroy one of their brigs and send the rest fleeing.

5 - One of our allies makes a post about it on reddit, alerting people to not trust MAGA: https://np.reddit.com/r/playatlas/comments/abykp4/maga_backstabbing_allies_while_fighting_chinese/

6 - :allears:

Please give me free quality professional advice so I can be a baby about it and insult you
I've been watching lots of streams of this the past week or so since the launch and correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like the biggest problem with this game is that it really discourages the biggest appeal of the game to me as a viewer, which is player boat engagements. Every time I tune into a streamer, what I want to see is different groups of players clash, knowing that they're both taking it seriously since it took so much time and effort to make their boats in the first place. Instead, they're always either stuck in a mass of hurricanes all around them, are sailing around with nothing anywhere to do, or are just sitting around by an island coast trying to herd cats so that they can get underway. And then every time there's the possibility of something cool maybe happening within the next 10 minutes, the server takes a poo poo and crashes.

The main appeal of this game for me, again at least as a viewer here (I haven't given the developers any money), is nowhere to be seen. It's like when Day-Z was popular because of the possibility of encountering other players but then it almost never actually happens unless you're doing the equivalent of intentionally running around Cherno with your starting Makarov pistol.

So as a stream viewer I'm pretty disappointed tbh and feel like I'm wasting my time watching. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Maybe they have Youtube VODs of the fun parts of the game somewhere.

They almost became a liability too because they fell for maga's bait-and-switch ally-backstab to grab their turf. Someone really needs to give them a good schooling on not falling for poo poo like that.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
Is the ghost ship route still actuate as far as we know? If so we should check out the Western island in J11, as it's right next door and the route goes right by the Western shore.

Seems like a natural expansion goal.

Seems pretty fair. She did a lot of mistakes in the fight. Not saying I would do better.. I would probably kill myself with a page edge. But the kill was good and fair.

If you meet the world box champion, you don't challenge him to a box fight, you shot him dead with a handgun. You need to know the strenghs and weaknes of your type of ship, and this lady did not seems to know either.

lol just letting a ship approach you without taking a defensive position, the crew not communicating, people giving up and panicking as soon as the fight starts, that one dude a little bit in who just jumps off without telling anyone

I might get this game, Baba and Fox have been wearing me down. Put my 500+ hours of sailing ships in SoT to use lol

e: the more I watch the better it gets. Captain's just on the wheel yelling at her crew, not to direct her crew. The boat is half dead before someone gives the single guy on cannons a direction other than "they're behind us". She finally gets off the wheel and falls off the boat right before it dies. Captaining boats is all I wanna do in this game.

in 2018 eve terms? like regular carriers but you gotta realize that it'd be like 2018 eve without the decades of resource buildup and ship buildup. there are probably only a thousand or so schooners in the entire game at the moment spread out and this ~75 man group had 6 and a brigantine. we sank half their tonnage with 3 people and a little bit of ingenuity.

thanks for forge, jaroslav, adadad and STOOP KID for setting up our raft and sets of gear that allowed us to smoke one of their enemies

They made the same mistake we did very early in the game.

Building ships in this game like in real life doesn't work.

In real life you can't just shove 4 cannons on the front of a ship and still have it be able to sail properly.

It's much easier to fire the deck guns than guns internal to the ship as well due to how much more the gunners can see.

Early on we lost a very similar fight where our ship with 4 guns, 2 on each side, got wrecked by an enemy ship with frontal guns - very much in the same way where we just couldn't get consistent shots in at it while it had no trouble pounding us. We did land way more shots than the streamer though and they left us alone after beating us up.

We almost got away - but learned another lesson - you should have materials to repair ships as we sank walking distance from our base.
