ARK at Gamescom! First-look at Upcoming Content!

since i couldnt reply to the server wipe list i need to know about the servers that dont exist for example trial server 21 there is no trial server 21 just official server 21 so my question is do u mean official or ......?

Their plan is to wipe all legacy servers. That's why they're stopping customer support. Rampant cheating and griefing's going to help drive people off. They're also going to continue to shut down servers after this first pass as well.

I sure can feel the excitement! I am so excited for what else the people at Wildcard have planned to stick it to their player base!

Am I the only one who saw TEK raptors and TEK stegos?

This is the most interesting game I played, has played 1600 hours + 

This game fills my soul!  I just love it!  What a fun trailer.  I'm so excited for more story elements!

Ark survival evolved launch strategy !

Go to a gaming conference (or what ever gamescom is) and sell your super buggy game to unaware gamers.

Hours later announce to everyone that the very people who invested money to help you get where you are today are getting the double finger. 

First 80% of servers get shut down creating a 4 days delay for a lot of players to move their stuff or lose everything. 

Then, they also give another finger to those remaining by shutting the support for ''Legacy'' servers. 

Actually, since you still get retroactive bug fixes, content updates, optimizations, and the like, you are still being supported pretty throughly. It's just support tickets that you cannot file. Frankly, I think this is the best move for Wildcard to make so that they can focus on expanding their support team and providing better service to the new servers. The Legacy servers would simply have been a fruitless time-sink.

http://playark.com/a/ bar code in the trailer 

Is it just me... Or does that countdown screen look very... Aquatic?

It looks like the ARK logo... But covered in... Algae or kelp... OCEANIC EXPANSION CONFIRMED.

Man this game has EVOLVED! (pun intended) over these last 2 years and I'm quite curious as to what that odd sentry robot alien...thing was in the trailer but it was interesting to get a glimpse at how the Otter and Phoenix look in-game and i am really looking forward to getting them once they get added and i definitely cant wait to see what the upcoming DLC's will be

I am worried that it was just bionic skins. Not saddles.

They are Bionic Skins. Other creatures may get Tek Saddles in the future though. Hopefully with more diverse TEK than just Plasma Cannons, we'll see.

Man the place where the dunkleosteus hologram was. I think thats the place where they made ARK's creatures. And i think i even have proof. The panel on the left has a DNA helix but helix is empty. The creature on every ark are geneticly modified if that is the case, you put different types DNA in to the empty helix and walla you have a geneticly modified Dunkleosteus. I just Hope i am right

its crazy how it has been 2 years. I remember on day one when I tamed an Ankylosaur as my first tame before every other tame. It was a mistake 

Incredible can't believe it's been two years, absolutely love this game. Sooooo excited for the full release, ready and waiting to uncover the truth behind the ARK ?

Soundtrack looks awesome any chance we will ever see casual background music in game? Would be nice especially while grinding

Just finished killing my own base due to server shutting down. F u WC! Worst game ever, worst company ever. You will never see any more money from me.

Congratulations wc you really have made history. Game looks awsome cant wait to get back into it after launch. 

So cool to see this game grow since day one.

BUT The Island really needs a visual makeover to be honest. Ragnarok with all its versatility, detail and realism is the true star map at the moment. I would not mind if you wipe the whole map and re-do it because The Island has become boring and unspectactular. The player model itself will hopefully also get a makeover and realistic flowing animations.

Thanks Wildcard, you do amazing work!

too bad the game is so poorly optimized on pc that it wont look like that lol...

Congrats Wildcard. You may not be a perfect company, but even the haters right now are only hating cause they love what you made. You may not be the best at PR and some of your decisions are questionable, but you are a talented bunch of people who are wonderful at making content and keeping the code together to make the game run.

Ark is still one of, if not the most favorite game in Steam when played under the right conditions, and I will recommend it to all my friends.

Yayyy! So excited for the otter! 

cant wait for the 29th! wipe more legacy servers! we need 100's of new pvp official Ragnarok servers.

I'm going to spend my last day on Ark shooting otters in the face.

Will we be able to transfer the Phoenix?

Drake says

Wonder who's found the secret hidden in the launch trailer hmm

My guess is the hologram pic of Earth, is the secret showing that Ascension is actually your trip back home. After being stranded all this time. 

Just a guess but very possible right?
