    If you want (not need mind you; want) a buff to resources and breeding that badly then don't play official, find a unofficial server with rate boosts to your liking or rent one. There's practically no reason at all to sit around being angry that a game company isn't constantly handing out something that literally is not required for game functionality in the slightest. You have the tools at your disposal to exit the situation you find unfavorable, use them. Seriously, watching you guys harp on this all the time is like watching someone get mad that the supermarket's not selling the exact amount of ground beef you want when there's a butcher shop that sells by the pound right next door.

    I completely agree. Most of the things people complain about in these comments can easily be remedied by simply moving to unoffical. Rates to low? Unoffical has higher rates. Cheater problem? Admins on an unoffical will ban them. I will admit that not every server is like this, but it is not hard to find one where the owners and admins care about their server.

    Primitive Plus on PS4 is lacking 95% of all spawns for lost Island and none of the new creatures are spawning even when using admin commands. Is WildCard working to address this?

    Sorry mate but they gave up on primitive plus a LONG time ago. No new updates or patches are expected for anything regarding primitive plus

    Look I know you guys need to keep posting for the games sake but honestly if you are just going to make a community post and add nothing else you rather aswell just do an evoevent or not post at all. I don't even play online much anymore but come on this is literally just an advertisement...

    That last screencap is gorgeous! I was surprised to see that it's on The Center, too. That map gets a bit of flak these days, I imagine because it's one of the early ones and it doesn't have a unique creature of its own. I need to play on that map again.

    This is the main problem with this game. All the people who rush go defend the clownery at wildcard don't play offical, it's hilarious to me. Imagine being a game and unofficial servers being the only thing worth playing. 

     

    It could all be fixed if whoever owns this company forced the devs to play offcial for a few months. Lol, bet my bottom dollar a lot of problems would clear up super fast.

    Not to mention you can still get cheated on unoffical too lol. What a joke. 

    "Just don't play official. Wow. Can't believe on the games main fourm that's the answer to all the problems that plague the game. 

     

    Oh just don't play the game the way it was meant to be played. :P

    Honestly the best hope is ark 2 fails so hard they are forced the sell the game to someone else, and a competent team gets it, but not many of those left as you can't give them even constructive criticism anymore. And let's be honest constructive criticism would have helped years ago. They've ignored it so long and let it go so bad it's killed offical. It's a shell of its former self. 

    If you and admit that, you just started playing or haven't been around since the beginning.

    Uh duh. That's the whole point. And it's a joke. Why even have a offical mode if you are just going to ignore it...... let alone make a new map with dinos every 6 months to a year that absolutely breaks the game and wipes months to years of some peoples hard work?? Then not answer tickets, and again ignore it.... you know how you could fix that????

     

    Raising the rates to where it doesn't take months to years to accomplish things on offical..... omg what a foreign concept....... ...... the people who come here and complain play offical, we don't care about unofficial. We started offcial the way it was meant to be almost 6 years ago now and want them to not ignore and mistreat it the way they do. Try spending a year on something and have it all vanish to a mesher, or other cheat(looking at you armored para). Cheats that have been in the games for years and they straight up ignore tickets. 

     

    If they aren't going to care about offcial the could at least keep the rates jacked. How are you going to ignore one side but care about the part that would actually help and make offical better. Absolutely blows my mind. 

    And for your information smarty pants, more people play in unofficial NOW because they killed it. Wasn't always that way.

    Primitive Plus su PS4 manca del 95% di tutti gli spawn per l'isola perduta e nessuna delle nuove creature si genera anche quando si utilizzano i comandi dell'amministratore. WildCard sta lavorando per risolvere questo problema?

    Anche su ps5 è  uguale ,comunque ho sentito dire che su primitive plus non ci dedicheranno più tempo ,spero non sia vero

    Try to answer WHY? For me official cluster is the essence of Ark. Its the essence of Ark community and the place that needs to be shining. Ark official cluster is the true Litmus test of the game. The reason why most people leave official cluster is the failure of WC. Lags, crashes, disconnects... grindy no evo hard work. And YOU always facepalming voices of reason, like mine for example. You are toadyboy of broken case.

    WC acts like cocaine dealer. Let me show you. They made x3 FOR lost Island start... X3 FOR "dirty pants map start"! like dealer who gave drug for new client.. Then WC turned off this drug leaving victims in boring, non color x1 grind life.
     

    This weekly crunch is slapping in ark community face. ZERO news, boring X1, the same sad moderators facepalming true dedicated ark players. Shame on you!

    Sure it has been. That's why people love the freedom so much. They get to play the way they want. Not the way officials are setup.

    Freedom to play the way they want. Best aspect of the game really. Unofficials and mods.

    Unofficial in ark way = narrowed down, broken one, divided, non unite, separate.
    Its the opposite of true playerbase and social based game. You like it? Then sorry for you.

    Lol are wildcard serious? This week's community crunch is dreadful. 

    No evo event.

    Links to youtube videos of some dude accompanied by SWEET CAMERA STRAFES telling us what we've already seen on Lost Island, AND (my favourite), a video on how to trap a t-rex... 🤭 ... ...🤣🤦🏿‍♀️

    Silly drawings.

    Some random dude's screenshot.

    Wildcard scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find something to post. Personally i think they shouldn't have even bothered. It's so bad.

    Love all the additions and content. Keep up the great work! This is the only game ... (Other than MC) that I actually look forward to updates and read the dev's blogposts/ updates. BEYOND hyped for the dracula-esque bat, ive always had a softspot for onyxs and cave dwellers! The bison is still a creature I hope gets added eventually as farming is a department in ark that feels a little neglected. I want a little more automation (outside of exploits like a wandering the therizinosaurus  and having 30 tek parasaurs breeding (so the eggs fall down, hatch, thero kills them and bam. Free tek) Can't wait for Comm Crunch 300 :) Feels like a special milestone :) Hope the team had a great weekend!

    Except the crux of the original issue here is people mewling at not having boosted rates every CC. Should actual game breaking issues be fixed? Absolutely; but you are in no way owed a nonessential asset. It isn't defending a company to point out that the alternative option that may have what you desire (this being higher rates) is exactly a mouse/controller scroll and maybe two button clicks away.

    Maybe I'm being paranoid, but where are any screen shots or asset pics or even early alpha media from Ark 2? No development twitch streams? Again, maybe I have just missed it but its been how long since the trailer and after that near complete radio silence? Is Ark2 in trouble?

    grindy no evo hard work.

    Imagine thinking this is an actual issue in a game all about grinding and surviving on basically scraps until you've put in enough work to take what you want no questions asked. You pay lip service to the essence of ark but then turn around and whine about something that flies in the face of that very essence. If you don't want hard work then play unofficial. Look at it this way: would you take a construction job if you were adversed to having to lift heavy things and heights or would you take the cushy desk job that offers more pay in a safe insulated ground floor office? Think man, THINK.

    Oh maan..

    You seem to lose yourself a bit in reality. Ark is a video game, not a full time hard job. It is supposed to be an adventure, it is supposed to bring pleasure and relaxation while at the same time thinking, solving problems of economy or developing agility and dexterity. What you think is the essence of the Ark is quite the opposite of what I believe. Its about the community!

    If you show me unofficial cluster with stable community, with so many people connected as official one, i will be happy to play unofficial. Its community attracts me to official cluster, not your full time grindy job.

    But our talk is a waste of time. Titan! To work!

    Not all games are easy. Not all games are going to be a relaxing walk in the park. Look at the soulsborne series, look at the original monster hunter, look at the less forgiving maps in Ark. Is it a job? Lol, god no. But it's not meant to be a cake walk. And ah yes, the community. The community of pillar spamming beach bob hunting savages that like to block off vital resources and obelisks and seem to adore trying to make it nigh impossible to play.  The community on official is as much as cesspit on official as it is unofficial and it's the rare or dedicated server that avoids that. In addition to playing official I run an unofficial cluster that's been up for years and while a majority of the community I've built is quite pleasant to be around and have been with my cluster for most of those years there will always be those that try to bring the worst aspects of the game into an otherwise peaceful society. With those sorts though I have the luxury of being able to either course correct the bad actors or boot them if they refuse to play ball and act like decent people. As for the matter of time wasting I've got nothing but time to waste, there's a blizzard outside of my home snowing everyone in.
