    I’m honestly tired of seeing the Bastion Beetle, we just had a huge bug win a vote, i want some variety in this game creature wise! Moa Squad!

    You're not entirely wrong though, I personally preferred the bastion beetle to the new lobster. I also think it's a real pity that in these competitions there can be only one winner, at least I would have introduced the latter a bit as happened for the Charca.

    Another day, another new tribe setting up their thatch base on official Pve server. Once again they had no idea about the servers closing down in August.

    Wildcard, you are useless. Take away the info box from the main start screen if your not going to use it.  It's as useless as a dodo in a boss fight.  

    Here you go Wildcard just copy and paste it!!!

    The Official PVE servers will be removed in August. Sorry for any inconvenience. For more information visit www.survivetheark.com

    When does everyone think that ASA will REALLY come out? I for one expect at least a couple month delay, we ARE talking about Wildcard here! In the mean time, play the game as best you can, take advantage of all the angry people leaving and ripping down their lagfest massive bases, making maps playable for a change. Don't get me wrong, I am disgusted by the lack of information that has come out thus far as much as the next guy, but I have decided that every week we don't here about ASA is another week it isn't ready for them to push out and another week more that we will have ASE.

    P.S. I play official PVE on XBOX. I have a series X, but not all of my tribemates do, so they won't be able to just buy ASA (whatever price it winds up), they would have to buy at least a $300 console just to continue playing. It would be nice if they would talk about how the save game file thing will work, if they even know yet. Like most people, I was looking forward to the UE5 upgrade, but not so much anymore.

    Do not count on it.  It's just a Wild Card.

    Good luck to the top 10! 

    Was hoping for some ASA gameplay this week but hopefully soon. Been holding off on purchasing the SNAL stock until I see if they will be close to meeting their timeframe of release.

    I cannot foresee the release being delayed any longer than a month. With SNAL involved, hitting quarterly revenue projections is a big deal now. Pushing it past 9/30 would not go well for stock value.

    Now you know how I feel whenever I see a carnivore in the votes. I'm not entierly opposed ot the idea but we got SO many already and most of them feel the same... just "A Big Lizard that goes bite bite, lol!" and not much else. At least be original, and stop trying to be "better than what-ever's end game teir"... Sadly a number of posts still just feel lke a copy-paste of either existing creatures or a mod. I still shutter at the concavenator suggestion (which was literally just ARK Adddition's concept) and it didn't even make the top 10.

    Don't forget man, I was in the same trenches as you saying no thanks back when everyone clamored for the carchara. Even now my biggest gripe about it's addition now months later is that rather than at least scaling it as the in between for Rex and giga they said to hell with it and made it not only giga sized but objectively better than the thing it's supposed to be competing with. Not a true rival, not a side grade, just flat out better.

    Well on certain points I agree with both of you, regarding the votes and even the Carcha. 
    Carcha was my fav vote but in the end It turned out as a bit more than I asked for. Not to speak of it´s ridiculous taming method... I still ike it but I´d rather have it in  a niche between Giga and Rex, maybe a bit more specialized.

    But with the Suggestions in general, it seems as if everyones idea of an addition is "bigger is better".
    I fully understand that big creatures are awesome but I don´t think it always has to be something huge. Vanilla Ark has enough of them. As for SE, there is still a bit room but it´s not necessary. 
    Why not somee more medium or small sized creatures or shoulder pets? 
    probably because the meta demands for big stuff. pvp is dominated by large endgame creatures and if it´s not about fighting, it needs to be something to make breeding an army as easy as possible.
    there are still some niches but they are hard to fill.

    Luckily, MOST of those kinds of people claim to "not be buying ASA" and won't be on any of the servers of the remaster... Only time will tell if they will make good on those "threats" (not that they'll be missed either way).  So now instead of seeing the brain dead strats of massing the big dinosaurs and building frame rate destroying bases, we may end up seeing people who are ACTUALLY trying to have fun by NOT ruining it for others. So in the future maybe we COULD see some more gimicy/fun/interesting creatures that aren't Kiaju sized clones of something we already have.

    you do realise that the frame rate destroting bases are built by dino sellers / land sellers / base sellers not really dino 'breeders' and if you think that for one minute that ark does not have a RMT then just google it - they dont even try to hide and have been operating for years.

     

    Also anyone can build almost anything they want on official because they are no real rules regarding making a base / breeding, BUT considering you play on UNofficial it dont matter to you does it .....

    Unless they do something about the Ark RMT problem. Those bases are going right back up in ASA to sell those dinos.

    Given how many people are still crying about controversy and threatening to "not buy the game", nope I don't think they will be. Can't build excessivly if you aren't around to build at all.

    I found it convenient that nothing has been said about the original servers and that they seem to be begging everybody to stay with keeping the colors going like that's not what we want literally I can add a file of the servers that I frequent that used to be almost impossible to get on and crashing fairly frequently because of player overload they currently are almost always empty now and during the daytime also with nothing despawning it's ridiculous everything's going to come crashing down on their heads and they're in denial and they need to get their heads out of their butts and see the light of day how even their most loyal players are calling this a load and leaving the can't buy us with all these new things we don't want them we want the original servers that we were promised

    O ruler of the ARK, thanks for leaving a colorful event for whom?  For what?  People are no longer on the servers.  You are hurting the players with such announcements.  Why go collect when your plan is ASE DESTRUCTION!
