I have no intention of ever playing this, and I somehow get the feeling I’m not missing out on anything
Diversity doesn’t work in MMOs, which I find odd, considering how successful it is in real life.
Atlas is a sandbox pirate MMO where players can do anything from farm crops to explore ancient ruins. But take a look at Atlas’ most popular subreddit and it’s quickly apparent that many are occupying their time with a different objective: Warring with Chinese players who inhabit Atlas’ North American and European PvP servers. Over the past month, the rising tensions between Eastern and Western players has been a hot topic among the community. And while a little bit of smack talk can be okay, it’s also boiled over into outright racism and xenophobia.
“A lot of it stems from ARK: Survival Evolved,” MisterWoodhouse, a moderator on the Atlas subreddit tells me. “There was a pretty decent amount of East versus West tension there in the official PvP servers, but it really got out of hand with Atlas because it’s a large-scale MMO-style game.”
Oy vey, people are being mean on the internet!
Someone has to do something before it turns into another hollowcost.
Atlas’ two PvP servers (one for America and one for Europe) are meant to encourage war between player-run guilds called companies. Beyond the safety of the beginner servers, anyone can kill you without consequence. But shortly after Atlas’ release many began complaining about the presence of Chinese players who appeared to be highly coordinated and highly aggressive.“Literally everyone is getting shit on by them,” wrote redditor ‘manicscanic’ in late December. “They don’t care [what level you are]. They will find you and kill your raft. It’s not even about skill or anything all they have is numbers completely obliterating everything they see.”
I wonder what this guy would say if someone told him that this is actually happening in real life, and with far worse consequences then getting your virtual doubloons stolen.
Would he screech about racism or some other Jew talking point?
Or would he say “Oh, shit, I never thought about that?”
Manicscanic detailed a personal encounter with Chinese players that ended in their death and the destruction of their ship—a widespread occurrence given the number of Reddit posts that echo similar stories. In both PvP servers, Chinese companies have become some of the largest and most influential. On The Kraken’s Maw, the North American PvP server, a Chinese group called CTSG has claimed a significant portion of the map. On the subreddit, players frequently recount their battles with these Chinese groups. Other threads claim Chinese players are also using exploits and hacks to gain an unfair advantage in combat.
I have no doubt some of these Chinks are using hacks and stuff, but I really don’t think there are that many of them in this game.
From what I can gather from reading about this game, just a lot of people with good coordination is more than enough to get ahead.
As MisterWoodhouse explains, many of those discussions became hotbeds for outright racist and toxic behavior. “We saw this very toxic culture emerge in the subreddit,” he says. “Lots of people were going beyond saying, ‘Hey this is the West versus the East’, and were getting into pretty racist comments. There were lots of derogatory slurs.”
According to MisterWoodhouse, players were even going so far as to share around a list of words that they hoped would trip China’s strict censorship monitors. The idea was that, by spamming these words into Atlas’ in-game chat when you were near a Chinese player, they might end up getting investigated by the Chinese government and potentially arrested.
Looks like Whitey can get pretty creative when kikes aren’t holding him by the balls.
Also, LOL at the concern trolling here – I’ve never heard of anyone in China ever getting arrested for playing video games, while White people losing their jobs and going to prison for saying mean words on the internet is an everyday occurrence in most of the West.
As the tide of anti-Chinese sentiment began to rise in the Atlas subreddit, the moderation team (MisterWoodhouse and two others) finally had to take a stand. Last week, MisterWoodhouse created a stickied thread warning that “Racism will not be tolerated.” In that thread, he encouraged players to report any racist comments they saw and warned that offenders wouldn’t be given second chances. That zero-tolerance policy has curbed the problem, MisterWoodhouse tells me, though he expects it’ll flare up now and again.
“Basically I look at each situation individually,” MisterWoodhouse says. “If the post or comment has value in terms of discussion or politics in the game and doesn’t have any objectively derogatory slurs, I’ll let it fly. They’re just wanting to discuss what people are experiencing as natural tension between these two cultures in the game, and it’s something that I think the game will be known for. It’s interesting to see these real-world politicking going on, but we draw the line when people get into slurs or offensive stereotypes and things like that. If they’re just discussing like, hey, we’re going after this Chinese company or join our alliance of North Americans, it’s probably going to fly.”
I wonder what a Chink seeing this thinks.
Why you laowai no can into total war?
He’s probably confused why the round-eyed barbarians are busy attacking each other instead of cooperating against the common enemy.
But knowing where to draw the line between actual racism and regional smack talk isn’t always easy. In Atlas, players can customize their ships in a variety of ways including painting or importing graphic designs to display on their sails. Naturally, that’s become one of the ways players are displaying their loyalties to one side or the other. Some are pretty innocent, like this galleon sporting an american flag, while others subtlety hint at more troubling political stances or weaponize Japanese-Chinese history. This post, for example, shows players how to play Star Spangled Banner on their in-game instruments as they ride into battle, which is tame. But another post shows a lone Chinese player’s corpse hanging from a noose (players can take prisoners and execute them), which is disturbing.
There are over 1.3 billion Chinks on this planet, and I seriously doubt you could find even a single one that was “disturbed” by this.
By all accounts, it is the Chinks who launched this virtual race war, and the idea that they could become “disturbed” that the laowai are fighting back is kooky. They would be much more likely to be “disturbed” that members of the laowai race are encouraging their own people not to fight back against their incursion.
The cucks at PC Mag really needs to quit eating soy.
While many players seem to enjoy the rivalry, others want Studio Wildcard to ban all Chinese players outright or give them specific Asiatic servers they can play on instead. This isn’t the first time Chinese players have been accused of disrupting a multiplayer game, though. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds also faced a similar predicament when Chinese players began to flood its western servers.
These people can’t handle diversity in a game, but how many of them are doing anything about their own countries being flooded with foreigners?
For now, it seems like Chinese players are here to stay, and volunteer moderators like MisterWoodhouse will have to shoulder to burden of keeping their respective communities free from toxicity and racism. “With the ARK subreddit, we noticed that these things come and go in cycles,” MisterWoodhouse says. “If there was a dominant tribe that was taking over a server and there was issues of glitching or duping, that would bombard the subreddit for a couple of weeks. But then it would die down. I think we’re going to see that in Atlas.”
You don’t even have to pay these people to cuck and waste their time policing meanthink on the internet, they just do it for free.
As far as “respective communities” – it’s almost as if the implication of that sentence is that there are Chinese people worried about Chinese racism against whites on the other side. Let me tell you: there are not.
I suspect at least some of this is just drama to take away from the fact that they released this game in a nearly unplayable state, according to almost all reviews I’ve seen of it.
But the Chinese Hivemind thing is real, as many people seem to have noticed.
Some “problematic” comments from the PCG article that haven’t been deleted yet.
But you have to ask yourself – what is the solution here?
The Chinks themselves aren’t really doing anything wrong, because why would they not cooperate with their own kind against foreigners?
Do you expect them to become individualists and worry about nothing other than abstractions and dickwashing?
That’s not gonna happen, and there’s no reason why it should happen.
The problem is with Westerners, who can’t stick together anymore for their own self-interests, be it in an MMO or in real life.
And the latter is far more serious.
This Atlas situation is almost the perfect analogy for everything that is happening in our society.
It isn’t normal people that don’t want to fight the race war – it is a hall-monitor class linked to the media that is preventing them from fighting the race war.
The normal person’s response is to hoist the flag and slaughter the invader.
