    Other than the mods, this was very boring. The DEDsafio thing could also be cool but this was a very mid crunch. I wish that next week we can see the gigantic apt or dossier or even what the ASA exclusive dlc is and even the 4 creatures they are adding.

    I think we need to talk about the shady things that overwolf has been accused of before I can even get excited about the sponsored mods. Apparently swearing is not allowed on forums so yeah... Anyway I love this game but the choices that are being made are disheartening

    Will the creature vote be on Twitter "immediately after " again and not show up to the community crunch until there's only 3 days left to vote again? I don't have a Twitter account so I didn't see it last time until someone posted a direct link to the Twitter vote in reply to my comment on here since the community crunch version wasn't working. I don't really want to get a Twitter account for multiple reasons, so I'm hoping that someone can help link to it again if it ends up JUST on there for a whole week again.

    Thank you for sending out another round of "nothing to see here, folks" to what few players you actually have left.  We appreciate the "meh" rates about as much as we're appreciating your "meh" approach to your player base.  You could have had an amazing Summer Bash on all platforms.  You could go out with a bang by giving us everything you've got - every color, great rates, randomly activate various themes from events like dodo rex or raptor claus but hey, your business strategy of slowly bleeding out is, if nothing else, interesting to watch.  Hopefully the chest compressions you're getting from who knows where to keep your company alive sustain you because your players are rapidly vanishing and, frankly, a lot of them are not coming back.

    Today there weren't as many cool things as other weeks, but you don't have to hate the ark workers either

(i may be reading this wrong but it sorta sounds like we are getting a community vote critter and another from wildcard for abberation? i mean does that mean that or its just one critter per map that is the community voted creature i am meaning)

    I will post this again this week:

    Please unlock element and/or dino tribute transfers for the rest of ASE so we can more easily keep the lights on in our bases until Official goes away!?!

    Ouch, another nothing burger. I enjoy the community content, but man, the constant kicking the can of ASA-related stuff is really telling they're extremely far behind schedule.

     

    OOF.

    Wc/Sg has a talent for destruction.  When those who are players on the current servers leave, there will be 0 because only during refresh periods, the servers show the activity of 5/7 players (and with a bit of luck) and so most of the bases have collapsed.  No one to play with anymore.  Why catch and breed a dino now when it's going to the dump anyway?  I hate Sisyphean work, i.e. starting from the beginning, in this case ASA.  Although many do not even plan to buy ASA anymore because they do not have the opportunity to buy better equipment.  And since there will be no official servers, players will take their dino in the form of TxT LoL and leave WC / SG because in the case of consoles we are dependent on hosting companies such as Nitrado.  PCs can set up their own servers without incurring rental costs.  Let's also call it ugly "Discrimination of console players" In this direction, WC / SG also does nothing to give players the opportunity to have their own server, apart from the fact that it can be done using another console, but the question of the performance of such a server 4 players is already a big burden for  Hosting PS4 despite the fact that it has quite a lot of internet bandwidth.  And with poor internet quality, PS hosting ASE will have a problem with game stability if a few players join it.  WC/SG only sees a massive player base in their system, the massive amount of "spam" we get from votes doesn't reflect the total player database.  Since June this year, more or less a multitude of players wanting to vote for dino have registered and they still do it without noticing what a mess they have introduced on Few Crunch.  And if you pay attention to them for the mess they create, you get Ban xD.  Sum sumarum, I don't even see the point of speaking further, even this community is crumbling.  I will last until TxT and say goodbye to WC/SG forever.
