I agree.

I'm playing prim+ on PS4 and just one example is that the steel ingots are bugged. You just can't make them at the moment, so half of the items I need to make in the game I can't.

Yet I see nothing about a fix on it in the updates.

They were SUPPOSED to fix it with the easter event patch. And another patch before that. It isnt even just steel. Ar least for me its any of the new mats dont mix (minus leather) and the industrial forge is completely busted as well.

 

The only thing that got fixed for me last patch was being able to mine coal and put the items in the regular forge (but they still dont craft)

I wonder if the tlc2 argy bug will ever be fixed, cant carry anything without it eating me alive now.  Of course the worst bug being the ascension glitch that wipes everything you done just about could really use addressed too.

When are you going to fix the auto gather for the gigantopithicus? 

Treat console players like your beloved pc players.

offline protection wonderful

Should be focusing more on optimizing the base game, fixing game-breaking bugs, and improving stability.

There's also a bug with the tlc raptor's pack pack leader roar.

My boat can contain a Giga. You can’t tame it because it will just slide off, but every other land tame other than the platform saddled one’s can be tamed on it. You can even tame flyers if you build a roof over it.

No I mean, if the tame is inland and you can't kite it to the boat.

Gamma settings for slidders for day/night/sun rise/sun down in options would be real nice.  

I would love this. The sun is so bright it physically pains me to play this game when it is daytime.

Fix official NA pve ragnarock 383 server it LAGS so bad it's unplayable , not to mention having to report it as being offline and then getting a warning that I'm spamming that it's offline so much. People are literally leaving it because it's unplayable.

Please answer my Ticket! I write it at 24th of March!

Just wondering if y'all would ever think about updating sotf. I think it's a super fun game that could be really popular if you guys would just work on it. Thanks for taking the time to read this. 

Yea as well as adding it to consoles

I will officially post this in the suggestions once you guys update the forum.  Right now my biggest suggestion, or rather my largest concern with my Ark Survival Evolved experience, is something that may or may not be out of your hands but would be a life-saver if you could find a way to make it possible.  I need a way to be able to save and back-up my Ark servers with Nitrado.  There are typically ups and downs with my small group of comrades on the Ark.  We get busy in real life or otherwise are not able to efficiently afford and manage multiple servers in a cluster.  However, when you stop payment on a server, Nitrado gives you a few days before completely deleting your server data.  It would be nice to be able to close shop for a few months, and then re-open where we left off without suffering.  This will most likely become an even bigger issue in the future as the Ark and all our hard work will not be our biggest concern forever, but I will be damned if I were to ever let everything I have worked on to this point be lost.  I personally view the save data within my unofficial dedicated servers as the property of my circle of friends in the same manner I view my single player data.  I consider it a threat to our hard work to be unable to download files and protect, preserve, or possess the data.  I pay quite a large sum of money over time to the server hosting service, however, I do not believe it is fair to say this means Nitrado should be the solo owner of what I have worked on for years.

The forum has been updated. 

However, this is not an issue Wildcard can address. You would have to add this suggestion to Nitrado's forums.

Hey N7sober here

I think a great idea for a new map would be an underwater map filled with air bubbles underneath but these air bubbles have a time limit(the bigger they are the longer the time like 25 days). But there will also be new creatures like a sea serpent and a leviathan and others... but instead of filling the sea with fiber plants there will be kelp plants that are like the new fiber. There will be a kinda rare item in these kelp plants the will give you oxygen back. there will be islands on this map but they are very tiny like a 8 by 8 foundation area(no these aren't timed).  I just think a map like this would bring a whole new wave to ark. I think this is a great idea and I hope it does come true but if you want to ask me anything about this idea just email me or discord

n7sober@gmail.com       N7sober#9650

please talk to me if you want to help with this idea.

this is N7sober bye 

I would love to see the mods steam has be usable for consoles... i wanna try the play as a dino mod but i DONT want to spend more money just to play the same game i already have on pc too

I would just like to say thank you for fixing the small forges in prim plus for ps4.  It’s great to be able to make steel glass and brick again. It will be wonderful when prims big forge gets fixed but I’m way grateful the small ones work. Good job wild card. Thank you. 

I feel like you guys should add the Pelagiceti, a large prehistoric Whale.

Id like to see more water dinosaurs that may actually be worth actually going and searching for. I was hoping to see a new one that would have some kind of echolocation, and maybe give the Megalodon like a shredding ability, where it grabs its enemy and bleeds for maybe 5 seconds, itd be a cool addition to some older creatures.

I really hope you guys also add the Gorgonopsid...

My dad suggests adding tea to the game))

So, since the last update of my game, I got a kind of huge problem on my actual solo games... all my different survivors dissapeared, and when I play on a mp more than 2 minutes, all dinos dissapear and I pass thru items (rocks, trees etc)

I just lost litterally ALL my dinos, all my maps, and i'm unable to play my game out of a nitrado server I have. Did someone already got that issue?

Will Xbox eventually get Classic servers also?

Add New Weapons,armor, and outfits with buffs

I think a bullet dispersing machine would be cool, like tek tier only way you can get it. So you dont have to go around to every turret you can just go to the machine unload the bullets and it'll slowly dispense them for you, and it has a range on it, the same as a the 100 turret cap range

How about fixing server performance FOR REAL this time? Optimization does not exist in ARK since the beginning, but after the Homestead update, this game is annoying as hell.

I previously play on Lagnarok and I had to move to another map because of lags and fatal errors. Then I moved to The Center and it was much better, which is understandable - this map is way smaller and little less complex (more water instead of landmass). I was glad then. But Wildcard decided to screw things up a bit and released a sloppy copy of Structures Plus called "Homestead". And FPS on my server dropped dramatically.

But hey, after some time WC released another useless update with ugly dinos and pathetic skins, which ruined S+ Wood Railings and lowered server performance even more. Now I have to deal with textureless S+ railings, because those made by Wildcard look MUCH worse. Not to mention random and often FPS drops together with rubberbanding and being reversed thirty meters while running from Rex, basically teleported just under his nose. I barely survived East Lava Cave on no-tame The Center because of lags. I had to prepare three times more grappling hooks in case of being teleported down while trying to jump onto the cliff.

What happened to Raptors as well? They're now slower than sprinting human? Did you screwed something during Managarmr nerfing process? I wouldn't be surprised, as you managed to destroy all vaults and characters while trying to release a "fix" few weeks ago.

I don't know how you do it and how messy is your game code, but I'm considering leaving ARK after almost 2,000 hours played because of your bungling. This is nearly unplayable and because you lack of priorities, it's getting worse with every update. People are waiting for weeks for their chars being restored, but you are focused on Marshmallow Dino Hat being unable to make in the cooking pot. Well done...

I don't even hope that you fix your game one day - it's no longer possible to save. ARK 2? Maybe when created from scratch... and by completely separate studio, because Wildcard is incompetent enough to maintain its own game. Sad. I'm glad that I bought ARK when it was in an early beta and cheap. Now it is still in beta and is expensive in addition. You won't smell any of my money anymore, Wildcard.

I hope you are not preparing another "fix" for a fix of a fix for previous fix, because I'm scared that one day my whole house on The Center will collapse because of your improvements.

No regards.
