The post Atlas Launches First Major Update of 2022: The Great Temple Monument appeared first on Mmos World.

This update lays the foundation for the first Wonder that will be implemented in the next patch. Wonders are massive, distinct structures that grant permanent powerful buffs for the controlling company! Each Wonder can only exist once per server, which means huge bragging rights to the company that builds it. While waiting for the Wonder system to fully launch, companies can begin building Monuments using unique resources found at the new Power Nodes. After collecting these resources, players choose to build one of three types of large scale, customizable Monuments: Cursed Totem, Burial Mound, and Cursed Temple. After a company has a Monument, they can begin crafting the components needed to build a Wonder!

The Atlas has also expanded! Visit six new areas based on geographical locations:

• Rookie Cove – Here all pathfinders can cruise the seas in peace, gather their bearings and then test their newfound abilities until they are comfortable to progress full sail ahead!
• Central Waters – The largest area in the game, its host to a healthy mix of tropical islands, but also an ancient evil told in Atlantean myths. Can you find all the power stones and defeat the greatest challenge?
• South America – A region home to tropical/equatorial areas. However, there seems to be faint chanting amongst this region. Will you be able to find the source of this hidden power?
• Africa – A region home to the hottest desert Islands around. Crocodiles, venomous snakes and lots and lots of sand call this region home.
• Antarctica – The harshest sub-zero climates, icebergs, penguins, and illusive yeti’s populate the islands around here.
• North Pole – The north pole is similar to Antarctica, but to the north. Same freezing weather but perhaps the treasures here are the defining difference.

To travel between locations, player can now discover the newly added Portals, ancient Atlantean technology which allows ships to quickly traverse the expanded globe. 

Three new ships are now available in the shipyard to build: the entry level Cog, the highly customizable Carrack and the fast and formidable Harrier. Pathfinders can now discover and collect new gear, including the Aztec sword “Macuahuitl”, a Transient Tracker node finder, the Cursed Armor and the Cursed Grog. Ahoy!

ATLAS pirates stake their claim in this vast open world while endeavoring to construct custom ships, search for buried treasure, siege and conquer fortresses, plunder traveling merchants, then recruit a crew to join their powerful Armada and engage in the ultimate quest for fortune and glory! ATLAS has full cross-platform support, allowing Xbox and Steam PC players to battle together in the same gigantic world.

While Spiders have long roamed the ATLAS, today they reach new heights with the ability to now traverse vertical surfaces! These crafty creatures can move fast, jumping higher and further than ever before. Vertical climbing does cost the spider Stamina, when its depleted the web crawler will release and fall.Additional items in this week’s patch include the Mechanic’s Hammer that allows repair and replacement of the Turtle Ship armor and new leafy decor with both Wall and Hanging planters now available.

The post ATLAS’s Latest Update Fortifies Sea Forts With Global Buff Towers appeared first on Mmos World.

ATLAS has been changed forever with the introduction of Trade Winds, predictable trade routes around the map which provide ships with a major wind boost when traveling along the wind’s trajectory. Even the most veteran of captains will need to learn a few techniques to master these new travel corridors and fully utilize their strategic potential. Maps have been altered to accommodate these new windy routes, as well as provide new strategic zones and opportunities for satisfying engagement.

Next, ride in style on the Platform Saddle while laying waste to your enemies! Platform Saddles can now be placed on the Elephant, Crab, and Grand Tortuga, allowing these giant tames to load up with cannons, torpedoes and other armaments to wreak maximum havoc on your foes.

Three fearsome creatures are now ready to be tamed: The Crocodile, the Yeti, and the Spider. Each creature comes with its own unique set of useful characteristics and will be available with the update, but engage at your own risk.

Modular Ship Railings are the first part in a series of customizations for the Modular Ships system! This first set of interchangeable railings allows pathfinders to pick and choose their best loadout choice before each voyage. Need extra firepower? Slap on a few cannons. Going to do some salvaging? Add the diving board or cargo railing. It’s all up to you.

Explore the depths of this world alongside thousands of other players and sail the vast oceans, while waging battle against the Army of the Damned, hostile mythological creatures, and even other Pathfinders who seek to discover the unknown left by the past.

The studio recently revealed a brand-new roadmap outlining the future of Atlas’s development with simultaneous updates and content pushes for Xbox and PC players – this ensures delivery of the exact same experience for both platforms.

Check out the official site here for more details.

The post Crossplay Between Xbox One and Steam PC Coming to Atlas appeared first on Mmos World.

The ‘Blackwood’ map was created by ISO, the level designer behind ARK: Survival Evolved’s popular mod-map, ‘Crystal Isles.’ ‘Blackwood’ was designed to be used for single-servers as an example of a mod map that can be hosted unofficially. This specific map will be set up so that it still enables all the mechanics that Atlas has to offer, whilst hosting it as a standalone world with no database setup required!

The ‘Blackwood’ patch also introduces a significant functional improvement, allowing Single Player and Non-Dedicated Modes to support the importing and exporting of characters and their inventories, so progress can be retained across maps and servers.

Moreover, to celebrate the DLC, the entire game is currently on sale for 67% off on Steam. The deal will run until Friday, August 2nd so grab it quick.

The post Blackwood Map Arrives On Atlas Alongside Private Session Modes appeared first on Mmos World.

New Quests

• Into the Ice – When you have collected all the Power Stones, head deep into a Polar Ice Dungeon to discover what lies beneath…
• Master Cartographer – Get at least 40% of the ATLAS Discovery Zones.

New Discoverable Areas

• Ice Dungeon – An enormous dungeon found deep in the depths of the polar region. Once occupied by pathfinders but now deserted. Rumour has it that they were slaughtered or their fear of a legendary and elusive mythical beast steered them away.
• New Islands – Multiple new large equatorial and polar islands have been added to the ATLAS!

New Boss Fight

• Abominable Snowman – Activated lights in the boss arena now power a shield that maintains the Snowman’s ice armor. Killing a round of minions will disable the shield, and prevent minion spawns for a short duration, which allow the ice armor to receive damage. When the minion cooldown is over, the shield reactivates. When the ice armor reaches 0, the Snowman’s health can be damaged directly and no more minions will spawn until the next health state.
  Upon entering each new health state, one extra minion will spawn at a time, and an increased amount of minions will be required to be killed for the shield to be deactivated. When in the last health state and ice armor is destroyed for the final time, chaos ensues, and will continue until the boss is killed!

New Creatures

• Olfend – This quirky looking creature narrowly avoided being burdened with the moniker: the Camelephant. The unique Olfend possesses some utilitarian attributes based around water. Water can be collected as you ride it across fertile land or by drinking from lakes and the considerate Olfend will store it, distribute it amongst water containers or…spit it in a friend’s eye. The delicately-legged creature also has the potential to be more heroic than it may appear by being put to use in extinguishing fires.
• Giant Tortuga – In some ways the Tortuga, or carrier turtle, acts like an organic armoured personnel carrier and, in others, it is similar to an organic submarine. Nestle under its sectioned shell for protection or stay sheltered as it plunges into the depths and affords its passengers reduced oxygen consumption.

New Weapons and Ammo

• Ballista Ammo Type – Boat Harpoon (can be used to attach and reel in other ships).
• Speargun – With a highly accurate piercing projectile, a rapid reload rate, and the ability to reuse ammo the Spear Gun is the best choice for underwater weaponry!
• Crossbow and Crossbow Bolt (multiple shots, cannot be used underwater).

New Structures

• Offensive Structure: Torpedo Launcher and Torpedoes – Skill is obtained after completing “Into the Ice” quest.
• Building Structure – 3×4 Medium Gates.
• Ship Structure: Cargo Container – This large hangar-based crate can carry a ton of resources at a massively reduced weight, but can only be accessed when anchored, and slows down the speed of the ship which carries it. It can also be dropped into the water if your boat needs to make a hasty getaway, and recovered later into its hangar!
• Creature Structure: Freight Box – The large storage box can now be placed on the back of a bear or horse’s field-harness saddle, where it becomes a special “freight box” that provides reduced weight for the items it contains when on land. And now you can ferry around your items while looking like a proper travelling merchant!
• Utility Structure: Ice Box – A high-insulation box for generating ice in cold areas. Has “active” mode that will drain ice but reduce surrounding temperature (reverse fire). Consumes less ice if “indoors.”
• New Resource: Ice – Generates over time in cold zones inside of the Ice Box. Decays relatively quickly if not in “insulated” storage. Can be consumed to reduce temperature and the half negative effects of armour weight debuffs for a short duration (15 secs per ice cube, max of 5 mins). Ice can be placed inside preserving bags to extend spoil times, and also lasts much longer in preserving bags. Relatively heavy.

New Cosmetics

• Hydra and Cyclops Armour Sets – Two new ornate armour skin sets have been added to further ensure your stylish pirate looks the part.
• Steering Wheel Skins: Bone and Hydra – Steering Wheels now have cosmetic skin slots! You can apply these dynamically to alter the look of your steering wheel, and then further uniquely colorize them. The Hydra Wheel provides an exotic serpentine appearance, while the Bone Wheel will send shivers down the spine of the sturdiest sailor.
