    Please  please please  add a tap in the all items list on the mod page just for mods that are available for official.  Please  Please take this with a grain of salt. But the organization stink on the model list. Understructures should not have trink darts and craftable. I oh items like narcanorth Korean. It should just be for structures. All items that are craftable should be under craftable. All crafting stations should be under something else besides structures. But if you can't.

     Fix that at least add the tab. So I know what I can use on official servers. Thank you.usrsneIeeebtt

    Make a way for console players to make an official server, I know the last game did, but I couldn't figure out how to access it after it was created.

    yall really need to look at some of the bug reports made in the bug section of  your forums. ascending is still bugged on Playstation 5 single player and none dedicated where you lose your survivor 

    This used to happen on ASE, and turning off survivor downloads prevented it. Not sure if it works the same in ASA.

    In spite of all the incessant complaining I do on here, I agree, they really did knock SE out of the park. It looks amazing. 

    SE in ASE was a slog. The color pallette was so bland, just endless tan with a few dark rocks mixed in.

    SE on ASA feels more like a mountainous map than a desert if you take away the border dunes. A desert could easily be (and most times is) very one-note but SE is varied and interesting across the whole map. I dare say its the best desert environment I've seen in a game yet.

    The sandstorm is pretty epic.

    I love the wild elevation swings in the dunes. Makes them feel more natural.

    The cool blue hue at night is so flipping well done. My base is in the trench, which is just visually outstanding, especially with the fiery red lava contrasting with the night blue.

    The island was good but SE blows it out of the water imo. Cant wait for the center.

    If they could just chill out with the storms every 5 seconds, it would be basically flawless imo.

    Pls give rag a unique creature and let the gigantoraptor stick to the island🙏🙏 

     

    Why? The raptor was already voted in for rag and you’re getting probably at least a year of it being on island, if that’s not long enough then you’ll probably never tame the one you want anyway

    Why not? Rag should 100% get a new creature now that the gigaraptor has been used up as WC's bandaid for screwing up the center launch.

    Wait for Genesis, in game shop is pointless in a survival game like ark

    what if they added one to minecraft where instead of mining for diamonds I just spam beat a mini game until I could buy a full set of diamond gear

    How about the ability to unlock the tracks so others can use them if so desired. If not, how about the ability for allied tribes to use the tracks?

    well im not talking about a mini game reward system. im talking about spending $$ so i don't need to waste an hour finding bpearls or grinding the same mission. I know genesis has the hlna store but im talking about a real store where i can buy currency to spend in game or just buy the items flat out. Diablo you can buy currency to spend in game. Why let all the other game companies rake in the money?

    here's a thought. Fix the crashing on Series X. You'd think after 9 years you could at least code a game that doesn't dashboard. How about working on that.

    I get what ur saying, but there won’t be anything new to rag other than it looking prettier. Why is this a problem? Since it takes quite a while to revamp maps, were going to get a map that although most people love, there won’t be anything new to it. With no new content players will quickly find themselves bored by the map and will have to await x amount of months till new content releases. 
     

    Idrc on which ark the Gigantoraptor ends up in as long as rag has new content.

    I agree. The Island didn't get its own unique voted creature because the Rhynio was added to A.S.E. before they decided to make A.S.A. something separate and then they didn't do a new creature vote for The Island. The Gigaraptor could be The Island's A.S.A. voted creature and we could do a new vote for Rag.

    I dont see how you can say that for sure given how frequently wc changes things around. Rags probably not coming until 2025. Thats plenty of time to do another creature vote or add an all new original creature like they did with the oasisaur. 

    And how do you know Rag wont have new content or map changes to make it feel fresh? SE certainly did. A lot of speculation and conjecture being passed as fact here.

    When ever I try to go inside any artifact cave, large different color squares prevents me from seeing anything. It happens on single player and official.  I'm on Xbox series X. Killed the game for me. No cave loot or artifacts. I have video and pictures.

    Do I think that Rag will come out in time? No

    Do I want extra content for Rag ei: a custom boss, new creature, new locations? Yes

    Do I know if Wildcard has a massive ace up their sleeves for Rag? No

    This is what I do know:

    Rag is getting the gigantoraptor, which is not new content by the time it drops

    Rag is not part of the tall tales dlc thus no new items of the sort(which were locked behind a cash wall..)

    Presumably coming in Q4 2024 but with Wc who knows.

    My og post stated that Rag needed more based on the info that has been given, not less and I pointed out the importance of a new creature to said Ark. 

    People who bought the base game where stuck with a remodeled island for 5 months and many started to drop out, due to lack of content, and, since Rag has no payed expansion then I don’t believe Wc will put much effort to it…and tbh I hope I’m wrong on this last point.

    Agree, but every map needs new content. It cant just be the remastered map itself. 

    I personally think youre underestimating Rag. People love it. It's routinely right near the top in favorite map votes and discussions I've seen over the years.

    WC must be aware of its popularity and it would be a mistake not to capitalize on the hype it'll get.

    However, Rag is massive. It was unfinished when it first released. The map is varied and its going to take a long time to upgrade.

    To me its sort of pointless to even speculate about a map thats probably not coming until 2025. With WC, I try to just focus on whats immediately in front of me. Lets hope and pray the Center comes without too much of an additional delay
