Obbu Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've got the season pass, so yes. However: If they don't implement a queue function properly in order to help with the full servers issue its going to be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetwothree Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 3 hours ago, Cataclisto said: In game/pre game advertisements might work for wildcard (outside companies will sponsor/pay for servers if they feel they can obtain traffic from it in some method). Youtubers or game networks take the advertisement route for their users to play somewhere at no cost to themselves (minecraft is a great game example for youtubers that do this for their subscribers when they host servers for them, another example is media streaming services with commercials). Though this is a unique/risky route to take for longer timeframes when servers are sponsored (especially when wc has so many officials). The dlc model will probably stay for a long time. 3rd party sponsered servers is a fantastic idea!! Instead of a generic number the server would have a proper name like "pornhub ragnarok" for example (they sponsored a great Chivalry:Medival Combat server for a very long time in the OC region) Anything to get some decent architecture...

shileka Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Well if my financial situation this month doesn't change i'll have twice as much money left over by the time i get my next payout, so i likely will buy the season pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full official servers packed with people playing as dirty and greedily as possible, pillars pillars far as the eye can see on pve while wildcard desperately tries to maintain the original pvp pipe dream. You could try unofficial. Trust me its a way better experience than Official. If you don't like boosted rates find a nice unofficial with official rates.

Razen Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Not buying it for now... with all problems in ark i rather wait few months to buy it or wait for someone to gift it to me ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldor Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I won't be buying it. I'm a legacy player receiving zero support from Wildcard so they will be receiving zero support from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandreee Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I'll probably be buying it transferring between arks seems super useful so will probably be no different with the new dlc spaces dragons inc?? kappa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm81 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Going to wait a bit. still annoyed how WC lied to us about the Great migration, broke transfers in the middle of the great migration, and didn't postpone deleting our server with most of our stuff on it and half our tribe members losing their characters. Besides, I'm a P+ player. So I don't even know if they are giving aberration maps to P+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Already bought it! The map looks awesome and no flyers on it should make it a unique experience IMO. I feel like I'm going to use Thylas a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv done that some as well, was fun early on when my friend and his gang had a server, then the guy paying for it vanished (OD'ed on mountain dew or something I wager). On PS4 I was playing on a unofficial just before ark went threw away its EA shield, which wasnt too bad except for the owner constantly changing stuff so you never quite knew what was gonna happen, such as my tree house platform auto demoing after eight or ten hours when I went to sleep. There is some degree of pride that comes with doing things 'officially' but after well over two years its starting to get mighty old lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtillaWalker Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Won't buy it at least for some time, probably never. Stopped playing one month before release after 1200h of playing since the beginning of EA to start fresh again, which I normally did every 2-3 months to refresh the feeling of the game (actually liked pre-nerf Troodons, an actual danger). Was hyped for Dino TLC and Kibble rework short after release and for a "big surprize". Aaaaand still here, waiting for: 1. TLC pass 2. Kibble rework 3. General Dino AI (feels like a placeholder) 4. Sea creatures AI (same, in addition they won't even fight each other, only land creatures, you and ichtys) 5. Dino Combat rework (1 button mashing, AOE biting, Seriously? How do you AOE bite anything bigger than cornflakes, which is not biting but swallowing anyway) 6. Player Melee combat rework (same: 1 button, aoe hits) 7. Stat leveling rebalance with diminishing returns (that's a subjective one, but still will solve many problems) 8. Character's face customization (not gameplay related, but I expected it to be in released game) 9. Dino clipping their parts through structures and inside each other fix 10. Rendering order fix (scanning bases, falling/phasing dinos) 10. Player Animations remake (look like a placeholder) 11. Building system and snap points fixes (look like a placeholder without S+) Did't see that "surprize" either (I hope it wasn't Overseer). I tried to stay away from mentioning official servers state, attack/defence balance and other MP related things, which are not perfect either. Just to clarify: I don't hate the game, I liked it while I played, even bought SE DLC right after its launch. The problem is, all these points were tolerable for a EA title, but NOT for released game. If you call it release and slap a full price on it, have a finished core. Well, at least I hope that all mentioned points are not in their final state. Edit: wow, that quickly became longer than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grave Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Of course I already bought it, a whole new ark with aliens creature. Played every weekends since the beginning of october on officials pvp just to level up my character to level 100 for this expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I am not planning on it. I do love the core game, and SE was fun but they aren't taking time to fix glitches that have been an issue for a while, but they scurry to fix things (glitches) we enjoy. I also don't like being treated like my time here doesn't matter to them, I have played for almost 2 and a half years, been a loyal player, and suggested the game to many and now it looks like I am going to lose it all because it is on legacy, even though even NEW people are coming to legacy servers as well. I don't want to invest more money into it if they aren't going to take the time to fix what is wrong, why pay for MORE glitches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark2084 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have no intention of giving the Devs any more of my money until they actually fix the game. I'm not being unreasonable as I fully understand that no matter what they do there will always be bugs/glitches in the game, you can find them in any game that's out right now. When I sit here day after day and can't play and enjoy the game because the lag is so bad you can't move or you're trying to raise dinos and they starve to death with and inventory full of food... well to me that says the Devs don't care about the players. They don't want to talk to the players, and I don't mean by posting a huge scripted "letter" saying how sorry they are but they're working on it. I'm talking about actually responding to the players. Step down off of their pedastools and be honest when people ask why things aren't being fixed. Stop trying to deflect honest questions by promising new content. Just fix your game already. If you don't have the money to do it then come out and tell us you don't. Stop hiding like a child that just got caught stealing cookies and actually grow a pair. Tell all of us the truth about why things are the way they are. Give us more servers and improve the game so we can end the lag (or at least most of it) and for the love of all that's holy.... fix the mess your incompentance has caused.

Orion Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Been supporting, defending and playing ARK since it's release for Xbox One. Though I honestly won't be purchasing Aberration, for the simple fact that Wild Card is hardly showing any real progress in terms of communication with the community and overall transparency when they use loose words and values in patch notes. A very recent, and clean example of this is; when Wild Card introduced a Hard level cap to Tame Dinos on Officials... but that's all they said. Simply that there is a hard level cap, it was left up to the players to undergo testing on Officials to find out that the cap was 450. If you level a Dino even a single level beyond 450(451) it will quite literally "poof" in front of your eyes, thus making the maximum level you can hatch a Baby and fully level it a 382 (450 after 73). Do I care that they make these changes? No, honestly. I believe they have good intentions behind the changes. What I do care about is that they are virtually solid when it comes to transparency with the values regarding the changes. It was truly messed up to not give it a definite value, and instead forced many players to simply have their tames deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirilla227 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Bought it the moment it was announced with the season pass i play on PC on unofficial servers and love this game i don't play official due to the fact to many people crowd the server and over run it and bases are left up and that causes lag too. lots of the issues people complain about in the lag department either are on an official and deal with the lag from a crowded server, or their pc can't handle the game. meeting minimal requirements does not mean you will run the game well it barley runs at that. unfortunately a ton of games today require better hardware due to graphics getting better. as for console players the game started on pc and was then brought to console and there are several games that I've played that are amazing on PC and then on console they suck. its not easy to port an console game to pc or a pc game to console. So many games i wish were on pc won't ever be cause the dev don't want to do that cause its more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
