    No breeding on first date.

    We don't do slutshaming in this community. We even encourage siblings to um, bond, so we really don't have the higher moral ground XD

    Thanks for reminding.

    Note to self: Don't use ARK as parenting tool, it won't go down well in modern society.

    I hope you weren't gonna use it as a parenting tool anyway... it's a brutal not to mention illegal way of making new friends to hit them until they join you.

    Since asa launched it has been a disaster what has happened?Why do we have youtubers failing to call wc out on their scummy tactics? Why are you releasing new broken half finished paid content before you give us the game we already paid for?Only way for this to stop is if you stop giving them money until they give us the game they promised us over a year ago

    Not to mention modern society would frown upon “zapping” children with a lightning wyvern when they’re not born with what we want.

    its really quiet over here on the community considering Dollie announced on discord at 6.34 am uk time that there is a delay on new map and event.

     

    The Astraeos Official Partner DLC and the Love Ascended event will now arrive 24 hours later. To appease the gods, we're taking a little extra time for divine polish. See you in the land of myths and monsters soon! PS: We'll extend the event for an extra day, of course Thanks folks :Emoji_Sparkles:

    There's the delay. Wouldn't be Ark without a delay of some sort. Hopefully the map itself wont do what Extinction is currently doing/did. I rarely have issues with Ark, but even the nonsense with Extinction is starting to creep into my gameplay

    Well we can consider all this a lie right now nothing from love ascended is going day 2, they need to stop putting a date to things, they are too un professional to keep a date, if it were a woman and ark was a dood then ark would never be in a relationship because they are ,DAYS LATE TO THERE DATE!!! And why is it we Still have to deal with issues from the old game? I'm soo tired of being unable to move, I just keep being pulled back in to the spot I was at over and over and over can't ark make it a priority to keep the PRIDUCT clean? that we are spending cold hard cash for ? Iv payd for mods iv payd for there game...again to be in ascended... why keep letting people down ??? I mean seriously are they that lazy or are they Over payed and lazy as heck? What do they do all this time a year after the release? Don't they have a business server to run testing on ? Go mess that up not the place of business I'm running a series x for crying out loud it should be fine! But it's not...I can run any game on the planet and it dose what the game creater seas it will do but not ark it shows ALSIMERS DISEASE.

    still waiting on the fix for my issues of not being able to play after the download for Love Ascended . Neither my wife ( on her own PC or myself can get passed the join screen for LA. It just boots us back to join screen)  I have bases on two servers and if i lose them due to this BS their gaming community will drop even more . Not that they care

    It would have been nice if ther rebuilt the game from scratch, but it was just ported it over to UE5.  Tbh a big fix to this game would be to add the ability yo disable tail stinging on dinosaurs, and make it so u can walk through the tail of the creature (ghost) without getting bumped around and stuck or glitch through the floor.

    So Love Ascended ends tomorrow and as i figured i never got to play as it would not download. Got a generic response back after a summited ticket . explained to them i have done everything they had suggested BEFORE summiting ticket. Could not get on after they pushed out Love Ascended . I could however get on the create your own game  but not my normal game . That told me the issues was on their end not mine but like any big company itg was a NOPE NOT OUT PROBLEM.  Lets hope i can get back on after they remove it from play as i already expect my bases to be gone
