Nmans01 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I was gamesharing with someone who had owned ARK for PS4 for a while now, but a few days ago I had to stop gamesharing and finally decided to purchase the game myself. Not only was the game more expensive than what he had originally paid, but Scorched Earth was not included for me as he said it was for him. Late into yesterday when my PS4 processed that I was no longer gamesharing, I was forced off of a Scorched Earth server and I cannot get back on until I purchase Scorched Earth for $20 on top of the $60 I spent yesterday. Is this a bug, or should I dump more money in just so that I can once again have access to the server I've been playing on for weeks? Edit: Before I purchased ARK, I searched the forums to make sure SE was still free, and this is the only response I had found to that answered my question.

CyanicEmber Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Scorched Earth was never and will never be free. Your friend may have bought it at reduced price in a package deal...? DLCs are only free if they were originally mods made by someone else, full Expansion Packs like Scorched Earth that were made in studio will always have a base price of $19.99.

Nmans01 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 According to ps4 users I've played with in addition to my irl friend, anyone who purchased ARK for ps4 prior to one of ps4 edition's latest updates received SE for free, and trying to purchase it from the PSN store when it was already included resulted in an error. I was apparently just late to the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFox91 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Scorched Earth DLC was never free. Island is free because it was the original map, Center and Ragnarok is free because those maps were player made and won a contest. The harsh environment on Scorched Earth, DLC exclusive dinosaurs, and the wyverns were the selling point of Scorched Earth. Was never free for PC or console players.

PaleoJoe Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Scorched Earth was part of a bundle for the PS4. It was always paid DLC. You also took too long to purchase the game as they announced the increase of price for official release. Do not buy Scorched Earth as there will be a Season Pass offered that will include it.

raptorjesus666 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 scorched earth is amazing ^^ well worth it weather is nice, different natural events like sandstorms etc are nice also very good place to gather resources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroSeconds Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 well basicly SE is completly useless atm. Manticore has been added to ragnarok too so also rip that perk of having SE. The only reason you buy SE now is to get stuck in sandstorms and see your generators get blown up by thunder storms. Oh and when you do decide to go out and have some fun taming something or breeding something you'll realize that the levels of SE are basicly max 45 in stead of 150 and spoil time goes fast so down that you can forget doing mass breeding sessions without tek troughs (btw the TEK generator is also being shut down by thunder storms). Fun times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosedawg Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Not sure about PS4, but for PC Scorched Earth was NEVER free. It was and still is $20. And technically, it's $30 if you bought SE in early access and want to buy a Season Pass since (as of yet) there is no option for a Season Pass WITHOUT SE for early access players. So, if you were an EA player and want the Season Pass, your reward for purchasing Ark and SE thereby helping them support their game with no promise of a finished product is paying for DLC twice. Nice one Wildcard or should I say Snail Games USA since they're probably the ones who made that stupid decision. The unreleased DLCs should be the only ones in the Season Pass with an option to bundle it with SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
