Loot System Overhaul
Atlas uses the base loot system from UE4.
This unfortunately has some points that make it unnecessarily complex and ensure that loot can be unbalanced and frustrating.
We change that!
With our proprietary Loot Engine, we create Balanced Loot that follows clear paths!
No more Unique Cannons with 100% dmg!
No legendary items that are better than mythical or unique, if you get a unique BP you can be sure it's good!
Speaking of BP, that's what this season is all about (I hate that word, but I can't think of a better one) you'll hardly find any finished parts.
However, you can find BPs for this purposefully, because each part now has clear sources:
- Factions & SeaChests Ship Parts & Cannons
- Structures from camps
- Armor & Weapons from Haunted Chests
- Treasure maps still give gold
- Wrecks give you music, food and gold
Important to know: Unique will be very rare to find! Also the chance for Unique exists exclusively with Endgame activities!
Dev Note: "Treasure Maps still give gold" Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to give you blueprints via Treasure Maps, as they would not follow the same rules as all other sources. So we couldn't guarantee balanced items here, and would have to keep the quality equivalent so low that it wouldn't be worth it. Also, we could not spend resources based on quality and would be forced to keep them low and uninteresting. For this reason, we decided to significantly increase the amount of gold and remove blueprints from the loot pool.
Blueprint Grinding
Of course, with such major changes, there still needs to be a "purpose" for the grinder and here it is:
Blueprints can be broken down into Blueprint Scraps in the Grinder.
The quantity depends on the quality of your BP:
Fine - 2
Journeyman - 4
Masterwork - 8
Legendary - 16
Mythical - 32
Unique - 64
You can improve a selected BP by one quality level using Blueprint Scraps, all values are re-rolled in the higher quality.
Cost:
Fine -> Journeyman - 120 Scraps + 500 Gold
Journeyman -> Masterwork - 240 Scraps + 1k Gold
Masterwork -> Legendary - 480 Scraps + 4k Gold
Legendary -> Mythical - 960 Scraps + 5k Gold
Mythical -> Unique - 5760 Scraps + 30k Gold
New PS System
In the future, you will start with all 9 Powerstones.
Of course, there are still bosses, which drop a PowerstonePearl upon death.
You need 3 different ones to activate the Kraken V1, 6 for the Kraken V2 and 9 for the Kraken V3. For the Challenge Mode you also need this and a Frozen Pearl.
For the Leviathan, 5 PowerstonePearls and two Frozen Pearls are due.
Elite opponents
In the future, you can encounter so-called elite on Powerstone Island.
These are not aggressive, but only attack if they are attacked first or animals of the same type draw aggro.
Elite have different, quite dangerous abilities that make killing them more difficult.
If you successfully kill them, you will receive 1-2 saddle blueprints in quality
Elite have 2 abilities, with several to choose from:
- Berserk: With decreasing HP the damage increases more and more
- Fireball: Hurls fire projectiles at enemies at regular intervals
- Explosion: Explodes after death
- Thorns: Part of the damage is reflected
Module system for ships
Ships now have the option to be equipped with modules.
Initially, 3 modules (Keel, Bow, Spirit) will be available.
These come in the following variants:
- Transporter +Weight
- Ramming +++RammDmg -Dmg (Trireme Only)
- Hauler +++Weight -Resistance (Steamship Only)
- Durable +Resistance
- Glass canon ++Dmg, -Resistance
- Fighter +Dmg
- Tank ++Resistance -Dmg
As you can see, these modules improve your ship, but the effect is much stronger with modules that also have a negative value.
Once you have installed modules in your ship, you can only remove them from the ship again for a fee (gold) or destroy them (free of charge).
The cost depends on the quality of the module and can range from 100 to 5000 gold.
Resource conversion
The resource conversion was abolished again!
This was mainly to protect infrequent resources from GS updates, but we can now ensure this technically.
Ship upgrades
From now on you can upgrade ships in the Maintenance Dock!
Gone are the days when ships had to be rebuilt to shine in 180% or 200% Shipquality
Put your ship into the maintenance dock, put the ship blueprint and the necessary resources into the dock and "craft" the blueprint!
Lumi sources
Due to the "Blueprint Meta" Lumi will take a much more important role.
Accordingly, there will be lumi from many other sources such as boss fights, however, lumi whales remain a worthwhile cause as they are the ONLY source that scales with events and harvest boosts.
Camp revision
Camps will change a lot and hopefully become much more interesting as a result:
- Camps spawn randomly in the grid, of course making sure that a camp spawns in the most sensible places and not too close to players' bases.
- Both animals and NPCs on guns can cause damage, go Crazy!
- Camps now all belong to the Buccaneers faction, so your standing no longer has any influence here and you can "raid" any camp you find.
- Camps now have a kind of "bubble" surrounding them, outside of which you cannot harm the camp / NPCs, nor can they harm you. Camp NPCs cannot leave the bubble - so the battle takes place exclusively inside the dome.
- Camps now appear in quality, depending on this you will have stronger enemies and guns, as well as better / worse loot.
Land Cannon Rework
Of course, to fight the camps still need a good armament, because carts, of course, are not always suitable.
The Land Cannon will automatically become a moving object after placement, which you can move, once you are satisfied with the position, you can man the Cannon and fire it.
It is not possible to move the cannon and shoot at the same time.
The cannon can be picked up again at any time (E-Menu: Pack Up Mobile Land Cannon) and keeps its current durability!
So what advantages does the Land Cannon offer to a cart with a cannon?
- Portability: The Pack Up function allows you to take the gun with you with any animal
- Damage: Mobile Land Cannons can never benefit from ship buffs, so they can be found as blueprints with up to 300% damage (Normal Cannons only up to 230%).
Voting revision
Due to all the adjustments, of course, new Vote Rewards are necessary!
The Vote Lootbox still exists, only its content has been changed.
It can now contain the following items: Sails, planks or parts of ships, armor, weapons, cannons, tools and saddles contain. Anything from gray to legendary is possible in terms of quality.
Mini Game Rewards
The rewards of the minigames have also changed:
Arena: Tools, Gear, Weapons, Saddles
Fishing: ship parts, sails, ship blueprints, modules
With a quality from Fine to Mythical
Caves & Endgame
As we started last season, we'll keep challenging you with our Caves, especially in the direction of the Endgame.
While our Caves are already partially possible in the midgame, the bosses located there will make you sweat even in the endgame, especially in hardmode.
Quest system
Standing cost for looting faction ships reduced by 50%
Maximum standing increased to 1200 ("maximum loot" at 1000, the rest is reserve)
Quest Sharing:
- Quests can be shared with a maximum of 3 other players in the future, this only works if the quest was completed to less than 50%
- The quest requirement increases by a factor of 1.3 with each player.
- If a player cancels the quest, this factor is not reduced again and the shared space is "used up"
To share a quest with others, you only have to go to them and offer them the quest via radial menu (Share Quest). If your counterpart accepts the quest, he will receive it. Also, the request for you and your new helper will be updated directly, other players who already share the quest will receive the updated request through Fasttravel, Suicide or Grid-Travel!
