TheHellishCat Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 February 25th: While I am not complaining about not having Primal Survival, I would just like an update. I was expecting an update today on the Crunch, but it was not released. I will continue to be patient, but will still long to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcano637 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yeah we all really need this. Then we can leave the alphas to play pve on a pvp server because there won't be anybody on officials left to pvp against. Plus It would have been cool if we got sotf for Xbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've said in loads of places it will be free. Hey gamer. Was just trying to get your attention. Is there any recent unofficial news that you might know about as far as primal goes? Don't worry I get that a complete conversion takes awhile and I am not here to complain but even if it's not a for sure thing any info you could give(even unconfirmed) would be awesome. Even if you are just giving your best guess know what I mean? Is it half way done? Or close to the finish line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definetely not, they would've of released the teaser video for it if they were gunna just cancel it. There's also no announcements or anything on it being cancelled. I'd expect it before 2018, maybe not too soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like they are kicking it into get as far as releasing the game now. Unfortunately I would probably say Jan 2018 for primal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll look pretty foolish when it's released as free content. Its better be free tbis game isnt even released yet and youve already charged for a full game to get the pay to win items.

Technically there is no winning in ARK just surviving, however, the closest thing to winning would be ascension, and you can achieve ascension without having SE, so no it's not really pay to win items.

Therefore as I said the closest thing to winning is ascension, and therefore nothing on SE is required to win. Of course it depends on your definition of winning, but surviving =/= winning.

Ranger1 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Also, if I remember correctly, the only thing exclusive to the SE expansion is the map. Everything else can be obtained one way or another on the island without your needing to own the expansion. Kind of hard to make a case for "pay to win" when everyone can easily get those items.

Most of the people who say pay2win do not even have a clue what the concept of p2w is. They see content you need to pay for, and assume it's p2w. You cannot fight these people with logic or arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay to qin means paying for items you cannot have and give you an edge, is pay to win. Fire arrows, pay to win, oil pots, pay to win, flamethrower, chainsaw, etc. Pay to win Dont think you understand actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamagh Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I would like to hear more about primal survival. I keep hoping there will be info in the crunch... or a new digest with info. Even a hey, this is what we have so far, take a look at this video of a dung beetle play through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulta Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I sure would love more info as well. We are well past the supposed February date. Maybe they aren't gonna bother with it until the game is released...? That'll be forever if that's the case. But hopefully it'll be sooner than later. I can't wait.

JEBBandit Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 So, a long time ago, studio wildcard revealed the fact that they're adding a game mode to ark which is going to be a total conversion alike primitive plus, this is called Primal Survival, if you haven't seen the youtube official trailer, I recommend you watch it now Here , because it looks absolutely amazing ! Of course any sane person would love this, lots of my friends are fascinated such a thing exists, some of them thought I was lying, but of course when you hear about something like this so long before it comes out, you are going to anticipate it and build it up in your head, which I have been doing, and I've been thinking about writing forum posts on the official survivetheark website, so I thought this would be the perfect time and reason to do so. I've played ark since it was long into early access, and I love it, it's totally worth every penny it costs and with abberation right around the corner, it akes you think, have wildcard forgot about Primal Survival, or is it something they're working on to bring out as soon as possible ? I currently play ark on PS4 along with 10's of thousands of other fellow ark survivors and this is something we can all look forward to. I have always read all ark patch notes whenever they're released and whenever I can, s I wondered what I could find on this topic! I've started by taking a look at the official ark Game Pedia and as it says below V Ark Primal Survival is an upcoming Total Conversion for the ark survival evolved game. As it also says, It was originally planned to be released in February 2017, as is clear now and below, it hasn't been released. But stuff happens! Development can go according t plan or the opposite, so they're probably working out some kinks at the moment I then researched the topic some more to see what I could find and saw that a recurring topic was "Ark Primal Survival Cancelled?" But in the same discussion I saw that it was delayed, which was what I thought originally, but within this there are mixed arguements, and it seems that everyone agrees it has been delayed, whether we like it or not, so the true question is, are we right, that like many other game features, like renting PS4 and XB1 servers which was expected for mid January thsi year and we didn't get the option until the end of August, it may be another feature that'sjust had a lot of delays, which is understandable, becuase it's a big conversion for the game because they'd have to make all of the mating mechanics and the new camera points of view for all of the dino's for the players the get the best playing experience, because you didn't buy ark for minecraft quality graphics, which could potentially be what it is if it's released when it's not ready. But if you look around on youtube you can find a selection of videos that already seem to have got this conversion. From what I have seen through research, it has been made into a mod on steam, which you can see in This Youtube Video , Which I haven't watched fully myself, so I don't know how appropriate it is for this topic, but I thought I'd include it, because, if this conversion IS released, this UI featured in the video could potentially be what we are going to be seeing when we get ark Primal Survival released to us. Some more information I've found through my research is "" Ark: Primal Survival is coming later this year. Here’s how it works: “ARK: Primal Survival is an upcoming Total Conversion where survivors will be able to play, live, and breed as any of the ARK’s creatures! Survivors will experience full survival mechanics and lifecycles, including mating, growing, recruiting more creatures to your ‘pack,’ even constructing primitive dens.” Transforming into dinosaurs and mating with your best pals to have precious children and form a pack that will ultimately be torn apart by the lascivious jaws of death? Kinky. Each creature lives a different sort of life, too. In a Steam post, Wildcard offered examples ranging from coordinating attacks on other species as a prowling band of raptors to crawling around in caves and poisoning victims as a giant goddamn spider that can raptor off and die, if you ask me. Or you can start a bear family, which apparently involves lots of cuddling and fishing. Conspicuously, Wildcard does not mention mauling at all, suggesting to me that they’ve never met, seen, or even read about an actual bear. It all sounds really neat, and I’m interested to see what’ll happen when players get their hands on the mode. My guess: definitely not what Wildcard is expecting, no matter what that is. Reference I've also read the fact that in the game mode, you can also pay as a human and that you can be attacked by dinosaurs that are being controlled by other players. But sommething that is confusing me is whether or not the player controlled dinos can be KO and tamed, or if they are and don't want to, if that dino character is taken over by AI or if it is just destroyed, which wouldn't be fair for the human, so would there just not be the element of taming, or would there be people taking and leaving control of dinos as they join and leave ? So I think that this is a great shell of a game mode, but from what i've found there's a lot of work to be done by wildcard, and that this gamemode is a long way from complete. I would estimate it to be released in around July 2018, because there would be a lot of developing for them to do, and they do take a while to get things into the game, and this would take considerably longer due to the fact it's a massive conversion that turns ark on its head, so this is something we can all be hyped for. I am going to be updating this topic whenever I get new info so keep checking back, I am going to be tweeting Jat and the rest of the Studio Wildcard Community Team, and seeing what responses I get, so If I get any good Informtion, I will definetely add it in here.
