    Normally servers have pop spikes around events. This event, the servers are all dead. Yet, they still can't work out that changing events from 3x to 2x is literally killing their servers.

    Good point there, but they probably were more focused on fixing the ATVs than doing that.

    Down to just rendering now , 400avg ping in own area servers on 3/4 maps with population of avg 10 players if lucky, and throw in inventory crashing still on PS5 mainly ab. 

    Mods are now hindering game play but it's all they seem to prioritize.

    servers are dead for many other reasons, events can't support a game, servers are dead because ARK is dying

    Hopefully  when the map comes out we don't have mesh spots the game won't lagout and the vehicles actually work also when servers restart we don't get tames that fall thru ceilings  over water .

    Jusqu'au rendu maintenant, ping 400avg dans les serveurs propres sur les cartes 3/4 avec une population de joueurs avg 10 si chanceux, et jeter dans l'inventaire s'écraser toujours sur PS5 principalement ab. 

    Les mods entravent maintenant le jeu, mais c'est tout ce qu'ils semblent prioriser.

    i see so much people go back on evolved. Ascended is beautiful and im so happy to see evolved like this but.. you know. Im affraid about ark 2.. maybe dont buy this game, not impatient now by the way.

    I'm looking forward to trying out the BattleRigs maybe one time, seeing what different components they have. Whether they'll require materials that most maps don't have natively, such as fungal wood, if they can be damaged by metal tools or turn off automatically like the zeppelin's 3 minute auto-descend that keeps it from being a cheap Quetzal. If Bob's Tall Tales items also spawned in loot drops then more people might try or buy the dlc, I've only seen people using the cosmetics for the most part and the odd train track and steam forges or the upgraded preserving bin. I hadn't even known that the town bell gives tames a repeatable 30 second 15% damage boost until making one myself since nobody wanted to craft one (doesn't make tames defend aggressively like the tooltip says but the damage boost might be nice to rally tames from a Paracer or raft or something).

    Might be nice if these buggies can act as a respawn point and the spawning player doesn't get left behind while it drives; the last few carts I've used on tames like Iguanodon to act as moving respawn points have been sometimes considered clipping into hills when they moved, which instantly counts as meshing and destroys rider and tame; so an expensive gasoline powered car with rare resource costs and extra hype will probably be a little more relaxed on whether driving it over a rock counts as meshing, to prevent it becoming as commonly seen and well liked as the Tek ATV.

    Wildcard do you listen to your ark players, the game is dying.

    in regard to creature DLC’s you are doing the wrong move realesing a paid dino is not the best move, is breaking the game and yet you don’t to care.

    also put some server only with vanilla game.

    Do you? This game stopped being about "Just Another Dinosaur Survival Game" LONG before ARK ascended was ever a thing.

    Yeah, agreed. 

    We had wyverns, robots, kaiju, and even chimeric platypus flying squirrels and lionfish lions since ASE.

    When will people realize that?

    vedo così tante persone tornare su evolved. Ascended è bellissimo e sono così felice di vedere evolved in questo modo ma... sai. Ho paura di Ark 2... forse non comprare questo gioco, non sono impaziente ora, comunque. 

    ARK 2? Does it really exist?

    Sì, sono d'accordo. 

    Dai tempi dell'ASE abbiamo avuto viverne, robot, kaiju e perfino ornitorinchi, scoiattoli volanti chimerici e pesci scorpione.

    Quando la gente se ne renderà conto?

    the fact is that it is still being advertised and called a WC dinosaur game, and the fact that there were already alien or bizarre elements does not mean that people like that these contents become so numerous and constantly increasing to become so out of context. I do not understand how much to talk about the tek elements but those have always been there since the beginning, even talking about the wyverns does not make much sense already appear in the second map released in addition to the fact that they are as realistic as the "dinosaurs" of ark that could not be more different from the real creatures both in aesthetics and behavior.

    mixing structures, skins based on the far west, stimpunk and now this just creates a jumble that is just disgusting to look at and that does not integrate well with what was the ark environment and it is normal that people complain about it
