Arkonautalus Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ok so my question is why did sotf die. It was so good. Please if you tried it and didn't like it for a reason or if you did post it here. I'm hoping for the Devs to see this so they can hopefully revive at some point down the road.

rawsh Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 not enough interest, and there was "better" king of the hill games coming out at the same time, at least more played ones, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrekasaurus Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I didn't even get to try it. I hope they continue development at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnm81 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 It was great. But lacked the right pace and speed to interest viewing audiences which is vital for a MOBA with aspirations of being an esport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zederia Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 it died off due to lack of content, I rather enjoyed it, but it became very stale with forced stats and the like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smite Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Never got the chance to play either! I thought it was coming out but its discontinued ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryc4 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The devs stated a while back that it was discontinued to work on the core game and that they would come back to it when they felt the time or interest was rightPosted from my [device_name] using http://ARK: Survival Evolved Community App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neirn Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I personally think a lot of PvP'ers would rather stay on an Ark server they can own instead of starting a new game over and having to do everything again. Plus, there is no real reward in the base game for playing SOTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balska Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The developers do not show it enough, we have no information... that's why i never tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harambe2k17 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 This is probably subjective but I loved sotf and I love the No Tame servers (playing a year now) but for some reason both don't attract the population like tame servers do. So it may be subjective, but I think the players who play Ark have different interests than the players who always play say, CoD, CS, and PUBG, SOTF, and by extension, the current No Tame servers, so I can see why most people would either just like to do the building/breeding/taming aspect of Ark or just go play PUBG. There are other reasons, such as SOTF not being released when Ark was fully polished (I remember a lot of people really liked it but their computers could not handle it), server lag, competition, no console release, etc....but I feel the core base of Ark may prefer less PvP and more PvE.

CrackerJackx13 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 What Ever Happened to Survival of the Fittest? does it still exists? If not, why did they get rid of it and was it smart to? Would you play it today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivar Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Put on hold so they can focus on the core game and it's DLCs. They might work on it after the third DLC, but that's not guaranteed at he moment as it's simply not their primary focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWRzillaaaa Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I cant stand to really play ark anymore except on my personal server with my girlfriend and that's only cause she enjoys the dinos and stuff, but if sotf would come to console, like ive been praying it would for well over a year, I would hands down play the raptoring crap outta it and it would easily be my favorite game, as long as they didn't screw it up, but I absolutely loved watching all the survivor league tournys and all the youtubers that played, but its all died out with no support for this game. it was around before pubg or the other BR games had traction and had a much more skill based play than them as they are based on luck of the loot where SOTF is based on how fast can you get what you need together to win, whether that be the tame horde, the guns, the cheeky saber and longneck. what im tryna say is that im baffled at how this thing didn't take off, how did wildcard not notice what this could become with a lil extra help, I understand that maybe your then-current team couldn't do both, but I know they had plenty of ppl that offered to help with the development of this specific game mode, why did they not take it?? just dumb, and the fact they didn't take this obvious opportunity to be ahead of the BR genre curve, respect lost. smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewiatan Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 In my opinion SOTF was just released too soon, owing to the fact the main game, ARK, was still in deep alpha. Instead of using money from EA to finish ARK, they wasted it on side project that didn't not improve the main game at all and tournaments. It was quite unwise considering the limited staff they had at that time (and it's still like that). Plus: Terrible optimisation, therefore very few people could enjoy it with reasonable framerate. If you didn't want to have bad time, you were forced to lower graphical settings as low as possible. Unstable servers, rubberbending. Matches were too long. In order to win the match you had to know quite a lot about the game compering to PUBG for example. Lack of content. After playing PUBG I can list another disadvantage, the final zone was constant thus fights at the end were really boring once remaining teams were on the platform. Lack of developer support and that was the final nail in the coffin for SOTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shade613 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Sotf was good at first then after a while came to who could get where first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 they should have done procedural generated maps, a circle that keeps closing rather than stopping and quicker game pace. Plus all the other server issues of poor optimization/rubber banding but other than that it was fun. Plus they need a tutorial version for first timers and also a ranking system as SoTF requires a lot of prior ark knowledge to pick up rather something like pubg.
