TurretedFever Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Y don't u just kill ark for ur players like seriously the volcano update, that's where most people get all their metal without having to go around mountain to mountain looking for metal, and obsidian to. There is nothing wrong with volcano to the point where it needs change. I understand u want tother change up the island map a bit but this is not the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cucharon Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 So funny, they put Tek Turret to make you feel safe, but underground glitches still will destroy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowing the birds down is not an exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to the article that Joe linked the Volcano will still be a source of metal, you'll just need to be a lot more careful collecting it. PVE will not be able to build on the summit itself, but PVP can although they take extra damage like in caves. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can know that that will be the only or main focus of Wildcard's business model. There are many ways to generate revenue from an enduring and committed (addicted?) online community and a popular IP e.g. microtransactions for cosmetic items; regular expansion packs/dlc; subscription/hosting fees; mechandising; licensing IP rights; making sequels; or even making a new and unrelated game drawing on the skills, knowledge, backing, reputation, artwork and software they have generated. I expect that they would indeed like to attract new players to Ark but I doubt very much they are putting all their eggs in only that basket.

Leviathon121 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 So does it have a dormant stage where you can farm the metal that was in the crater? If so that will be awesome. We have so many people just COMPLETELY screwing up the volcano metal spawns there is only a few nodes that aren't completely messed up by peoples metal bases.

Leoli Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I love that there's going to be more music. Those tracks sound great - I especially like the first and fourth because they are a little softer than the others. Looking forward to hearing more soon enough.

If they are making unpopular changes that drive away their existing Early Access backers, they are sabotaging the recurring revenue from those players. So they actually ARE putting all their eggs into the new player basket. Just not as a part of any kind of actual strategy lol.

Everseeker Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Couple things: 1. So, no longer happening on the 4th (so Long "May the 4th be with Ark" jokes) On to the "Revenge of the 5th"... grin 2. THERE WILL BE NO ERUPTIONS. Go back a few pages... There will be Lava, but it will be kinda static 3. Since we are delayed again, More Music please!

Your subsequent presumption that the changes they are making are driving away substantial numbers of committed players is a convenient delusion; you cannot know that.

From a purely business model, once a user has paid for the product, they are done. Unless you charge them for updates, "In game money such as GTA does with the Card Sharks" or additional add ons. there is nothing else to be gained from the user. They purchased, they played, they got their money worth. The money that Wild Card is after is those who have not yet purchased the software. The reviews from those who did and felt that it was a no win scenario because of the way it was stacked against newbies from more established players will greatly affect new sales. (Remember, there are no "Old Sales" coming in.) It is all about new players purchasing the software. They are trying to find a happy medium for both. It boils down to Future generated sales. Without it, there is no development. In days gone by, customer loyalty was a big thing, the markets were smaller. We are now a global market place and the "Dollar" is king and there are so many people available to sell to. Ark is a great game but If I cannot build, gather resources, enter the obelisks with my Dinos, gather enough food to feed them then what is the point of the game?

So, Currently, I pay once for the game and nothing further. If the new sales drop because of reviews from other new users that the games is too heavily stacked. Where is the new money going to come from? Will you pay 40 dollars a month to play? I believe the presumption is well founded based on current strategy. I believe a well formulated hypothesis can be derived and concluded upon based on the current model. To speculate on anything else would be unfounded presumption.
