Ahoy Pathfinders!

New land masses be appearin' on the horizon! The harsh climate and lack of water sources will make this area challenging to live on, but shapes of a mysterious building can be made out through thick fog covering part of the island. Monumental achievements await pathfinders seeking to call this Wonderous island home. With these changes comes a new map, a wipe and a new season for ATLAS!

We’re taking the first step into building upon the vast world and wide seas of ATLAS. With this update, we are merging the NA and EU PVP servers into one large global server that we will continue to expand on as we work with the community to shape the ATLAS world. A big thank you to our passionate Pathfinders who helped steer our sails towards this grand new direction. We look forward to continuing to work with the community to enrich the world with more lands to explore and seas to discover!

Servers will be going down to deploy the update tomorrow night, 12/15 at around 7:00 PM Pacific Time.

The next patch is expected to be more focused on bug fixing and optimization as we design and flesh out our next steps for expanding the ATLAS map. We are also working on creating a public facing issue tracker to better address the community’s concerns in balance with ongoing development efforts. Please join us on the Official ATLAS Discord here for all the latest happenings!

New this Christmas to the Jean-Paul Software Screen Explosion: The North Pole Logistics Centre! Due to population increase and concerns about delivering presents in person during a world-wide pandemic, Santa has embraced mechanisation, recycled the majority of his elves, and moved over to present sorting by drone.



The consultants he's hired are trying to get him into blockchain, but despite his access to cheap geothermal energy, like any sensible fictional character he's sticking with a database- albeit one hosted by Amazon Web Services. Yes, much like London's "Silicon Roundabout", the North Pole is in fact on a small industrial estate just outside of Dublin.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Hello everyone! The game was just updated with version 0.47a

It's a pretty substantial update, that focuses on completely reworking the beginning of the game and the first 1-2 hours of playtime.
I've made original starting zones back in 2019, when actual gameplay of the game was a whole lot different. Most of you probably don't know, but the game originally had battle system similar to old RPGs or MMOs, which was basically autoattack with some abilities and battle pause. There were almost no advanced traversal abilities, and the world was much more flat. Later down the line, the gameplay was changed, but original zones stayed the same. Additionally, I wasn't as experienced in designing open world zones, as I am now. I am no expert by any means, but atleast I better understand things like zone flow, zones of influence, signposting for points of interest etc. If you played the game till the end, you might have noticed that later zones are much better to explore, that the first one.

The problem was that a lot of new players made their mind about the game by judging it over the starting zone, which was the weakest one at that moment. So that's why decided to put a huge effort into remaking it. Basically, the zone is completelly different now. The layout is changed, enemies and resources are changed, Overgrown cave was remade, I've added new caves, new challenges, new world bosses and rewards. Quests were changed a lot too. Now, originally, my thought process of making them was to have a couple of simple ones at the start to be sort of a "tutorial" ones for game mechanics. These are the quests about fixing the well, killing a bear, getting a horse. But what happened is they ended up just being underwhelming and forgettable, while the players learned game mechanics themselves fairly easy. So i decided to rework them, add few story beats and cutscenes to them, remove ones which I considered not worth keeping, and overall make them more exciting at the start. Hope it worked out well enough.

Second zone (Golden Forest) didn't receive as huge reworking as the starting one, I've added a few details and points of interest here and there, but overall it stayed the same. I think it now works better after the first one, because the first one is more different and makes a better contrast between them.

• You can now travel with waypoints only when you stand on one. I decided to nerf waypoints that way, not only because it made travelling too easy, which made the world feel small, but, more than that, it made abilities like teleportation and items like homing stone basically useless. I never actually intended to make them like this, it was an oversight that I decided to keep at the time.
  
• Fixed animation bug with Star walker and lightning mage skeletons
  
• Blood demon now attacks with mouse hold, not click. It also receives melee bonuses, similar to werewolf
  
• Fixed the bug when assigned abilities used skill level 1 after loading a game
  
• Fixed potatoes not giving cooking bonuses
  
• Fixing climbing down ladder animation
  
• Fixed assigning on Mouse buttons 4 and 5
  
• Fixed few small bugs and issues

I plan to do pretty big gameplay update next. A lot of issues of high-level scaling piled up, basically a lot of mechanics were working fine at lower levels, but then became overpowered or obsolete at high levels with endgame gear. Working on modding is going well too. I am still early, so I can't show much yet, but I've figured a lot of UI choices and mechanics that I plan to do, so I might introduce the first part in one of the next couple of updates.

Thank you for your support!
