Official Statement Regarding H.O.D Gaming and Game Exploits

''As always, we value community feedback and encourage you to share it with us.'' But if we don't agree with you YOU GET BANNED BOI

How can you say that people should send a report to the development team when whenever anyone sends in a report you take a month or two to reply let alone act on the situation in hand. All H.O.D simply did was make it evident that the game youve created is massively flawed and has been for the previous 3 years. Rather than releasing a statement or even opting to improve the game your initial reaction was to just ban him. Its ludicrous. The same methods have been used for a long time now and its come to the point where players of ark just accept that meshing is a normal thing when it isnt. If youre playing any other game and the players are unable to be killed or under the map etc then there would be an uproar. Unbanning is a good step forward but when so many major youtubes such as kishko, hod, gtjacked etc have stated numerous ways of fixing meshing it seems you dont want to bother with helping the game progress. 

Code of conduct.......well why was it when my tribe put in a ticket for being blocked from building in are own base was NOTHING DONE about it....GM daze said he would look into it but NOTHING was done.and you closed the ticket.think you need to learn what your own code of conduct is. 

This is dumb. Literally all you have to do is the things HOD told you to do and we won't have a problem and we can actually play on official. as of right now the only safe way to play ark is in a private server. 

Let’s be openly honest he was on single player showing the exploits of the game he has a huge following and anyone who knows hod knows he’s a clean player what would he get for cheating on a game his fans love? He would get hate less views and unsubs. He doesn’t cheat. He’s trying to inform everyone of all the new ways and items that are used to cheat. He has mentioned removing chairs and people are complaining saying they shouldn’t remove chairs because of cheaters. Do you idiots understand that half of the things used to mesh people don’t even need in the game to play? Let’s be open here, the games playerbase Has dropped a ton and every time you talk about it on ark forums you got all these wildcard defenders trying to defend them. You guys are pathetic. This game is 60$ and takes a very long time to build up and get big not to mention all your dlcs. Wildcard studio is easy the worst dev team I’ve ever come across. Chances are I’ll be banned off these forums for telling the truth. And yes hod is speaking for the community almost every ark you tuber has come out supporting him just the pve noobs complain because they don’t wanna lose the chairs they sit in. Idiots.

im sorry but when 6 men come out we told you about a meshing method that was so easy to do @ and you come back saying you knew about it @ it was still in the game 4 months down the line after we got meshed by it !! i have 21k hours in the game and i have seen lot of Exploits in this game..

Not to cause conflict but you state that "Providing a fair,  fun,  and safe environment is something you take seriously", yet nothing has been done to provide what is expected ,  Ark is possibly one of the worst exploited games and little to nothing had been done to fix the issues that already exist 

You all should ban stricts offical that dude is a big time mesher and cheater look into him. 

This is a bit of topic but get rid of the legacy servers as nobody plays them and open new ones

Yet nothing that is said about trying to provide a "fair, fun, and safe environment" is being done, ARK is still one of the worst exploited games and nothing is being done to fix any of it, also the bugtesting and optimization is still amongst the worst anyone has seen for a Triple-A game.

#FREEHOD 

So true, wildcard has done nothing to fix it. I will say recently they have been fixing holes but that doesn’t fix the overall issue and more ways to be learned. All I know is is another wildcard game comes out and this one doesn’t get fixed I’m never purchasing anything from these “devs” ever again. 

you guys are amazing.. you saying that we need to put exploits and reports on your website, and all we see in your respond is that you feel sorry or something like that and yall never do anything to resolve problem. didnt you think that thats the main reason why people dont trust you anymore and put everything in global to finally get your attention with little hope that you will actually do something..

Remove mesh items ezz fix it took a 14 yr old to figure that out 

#FREEHOD  - and also brutal coffee!

Dont forget conquest pls. DONT WIPE IT!!!!! #DWC (DONT WIPE CONQUEST)

I honestly felt like some of the point of this post is just pure contradictory.

You said "our first instinct is to try and take action with the intention of preserving the integrity of our official server network", YET some of your staff here doesn't even know how to moderate the report properly. Some very good example are restoring of lost dino and reimbursing most, if not all, data of old character to new ones because of rollbacks, because of the issues YOU GUYS didn't bother to fix or just fixed temporarily and slapped it as completely fixed. Half of your staff will fix the player's issue, the other half? They don't even know how to do their job and give "internal policy" as a sorry excuse not to even do anything, and instead just close the ticket when they still wanted it fixed.

Same goes for reporting, especially in PvP servers. It felt either corrupted, or just half-stupid. "First instinct"? Then why "Upon further review of the situation involving H.O.D Gaming, we felt that it was not deserving of a permanent ban"? Why not investigate WHICH INCOMPETENT STAFF permanently banned him in the first place before you start reviewing this ban of his and either get him fired or something? It just shows how poorly moderated Official Servers are. And don't get me started on the fact that some GMs will listen to other players like dogs to master, and devwipe tribes that didn't even deserve it, or had done nothing wrong to deserve such a treatment.

And look at the amount of report that has been piling up in your reports of both bug and explot. 10 frigging k has not been resolved. How the heck is that letting people enjoying their experience when your staff can't even properly keep up with the reporting issue?

Maybe you guys really should relook at how your moderating GM are doing properly with both the game servers and any reports YOU GUYS never fixed, or just half-fixed before you try to raise your head high.

BOOOOOO! This is not going to fix this, WC

This statement is a textbook example of the Streisand effect.

To fix meshing add a player only kill barrier under the map this will get rid of the fear of Ur pve Dino's getting killed to death barriers and make meshing a lot harder

Not Enough WildCard. You lost a lot more people due to your acts of bafooning and this won’t change views. You banned an intense supporter of your game. You bit more than you can chew. The only thing you can do now is release more items to distract your player base until the meshing comes back. 

How about Justice for the players before introduction of the enforcement team or is blanket bans still a policy for one cheater?

Just don't share it with you and everyone else via a video you mean.

The guy should never have been banned in the first place, all he did was highlight an ever growing problem. Let's be honest here, if this hadn't happened and all the backlash that has come with it you guys would still be silent about the meshing issues.

I haven't long been back to the game after a lengthy break, but you guys have never changed. Either bury your heads in the sand and hope problems go away, or just give the same generic responses to problems.

After a long time. i buyed the season pass today. Decided to put a charge-back on my credit card. after that bullpoop of a statement Guys google a bit wildcard seems to be known to censor stuff they dont like.
