chadwelltarly Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I've seen these questions or similar all over the forums, and in the Digest Q&A posts, and I'm not seeing anywhere that they're being responded to, or answered by anyone in authority. If I'm wrong, and you know of a post, or thread where something here has been addressed please let me know, as I'm truly interested. @Jatheish @Jen @Jeremy Stieglitz I'm sure you all get tagged in 2 out of every 3 posts on the forums where people are complaining etc. But I feel like these questions are being overlooked, or in the case of the kibble system revamp, just not detailed enough information in my opinion. So here are my questions, and concerns that I'm unable to find an official, and informative response to. What are you planning to do about Timers? (which are ruining the game for regular players, and based on the accounts I've read, not stopping most people that are duping) What are you planning to do about the large amount of capped servers? I play on 4 servers right now, 2 are capped, and the other 2 feel remarkable close.... Why put out a steam sale, and not add new servers to coincide with that influx of players? Seems logical to assume that these new players are just going to flood, and overfill the already strained, or capped servers.... How long until you finally phase out legacy for good so we can have a more reasonable number of official servers again? Are you considering options to reduce the need for egg farms? and if so what are they? Will we ever see this "reworked kibble system"? Is the current Halloween event (Halloween 2017) your idea of an enjoyable event? it appears underwhelming to me, and the wild dinos added seem to only really inconvenience newer players, and don't seem to do much for the rest of us.

jaypak Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Eli looks at the forums too btw ? Needing to tame all the dinos for eggs is a bit pants, you end up with too many dinos. Make kibble harder to make but dinos need less of it. That way u only need half the eggs and in theory half the dinos Ps: new servers new servers lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yster Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Kibble farm is causing to many Tames.. its affecting PvE servers. Question is, if you dont need so many Dinos for a Kibble farm, wouldn't you just continue taming other dinos till you reach the dino cap anyway? This is mainly around PvE..

WolfeUK Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 There are bigger problems with the game then what you have mentioned, the devs dont care, anyone who thinks differently to that clearly are blind to it, im still waiting for bugs to be fixed from years ago, bugs that break the game and require a new start....

RoyHess666 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 They're too busy brainstorming ideas that make them more money. Fixing bugs is annoying and has a low priority for the developers. That is at least how I currently see them. They can prove me wrong by fixing at least 25% of the bugs and issues in my list (that I have posted in the respective section) within 3 months.

Sphere Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 There is a good reason to patch bugs, but only if people can see improvements to their game quality. It means better reviews on the game, which encourages more sales of new potential customers. This works well when your PR is doing their best to talk about the issues and present solutions. However the solutions need to be better than making it so that it takes 15 minutes to transfer stuff on the Obelisk on PvE, to deal with duping, only to have duping still an issue.

Vrallox Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 It would be nice if they started hiring people to help fix all these problems they have with the game and the relationship with their players. Feels like everything is decaying. Two steps forward and five steps back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallist Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Server lag is biggest issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsSwe Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Server Lag May Be A Issue But In All Fairness They Are Trying To Work On Every Problem At Once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsSwe Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I Believe The Devs Are Adressing These Problems But It Just Takes Time Beings It Is A Game and new Problems come with trying to fix problems. So even if it takes time we will see improvements as they go step by step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUCH more response and reactiveness, albeit from a bigger company, but even the GM's that we've requested to come to our server and experience the situation refuse saying its not something they will do. they wont even help out with lost Dinos even though there IS a ticket for this feature, we sent pictures of the glitched creatures in floors at baby stage or lost beneath the map but they come a long and say "o'well, nothing we can do here" and float off into the abyss completely pointless support system I may just add that after posting all the issues on our server onto social media on Saturday, somehow our server seemed to run a bit better. coincidence or WC actually getting their act together to contact the providers to address the situation. how this company operates I would love to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeetman Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I feel like the new event is very poor compared to the last few. I have gotten a minimum of 10 red drops so far and a lot of yellow drops and the best thing i got was a turret BP. They should have did what they did every year and done a Fear Evolved event, but they chose not to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bug that kills my game in the one where resource nodes dont spawn back, i end up having to travel a long way to get resources, i have the settings turned right down so they are supposed to respawn right close to my base, but it doesn't happen, i end up with a barren looking build with no trees around, some iron nodes dont respawn back, even though ive built no where near them, and made worse on SE as trees are fairly rare as is, i reported this 2 years ago, and we still have this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obbu Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'm surprised there's not more discussion about the state of regular taming, and how lacking/boring/frustrating/time consuming it is. I would consider that the number one issue affecting the game, personally, both currently and going back to early early access. Just because we're used to it being a load-bar and not much else, doesn't mean it's OK now: Have you tried introducing a new player to ARK recently? Watch their reaction when you show them taming the first time: "People do this for fun?!" The primary player skill at taming is just building a pen and luring/dropping things into it so you engage with the system as little as possible: the primary difficulty is boredom/timesink: This is a very big problem, considering it's a key system.

Yes. So you changed your personal game settings and complain about stuff not working properly in your personal game? I just checked my default settings servers. Everything respawns peoperly. On island, SE and Ragnarok. I'd say pretty solid proof for someone who witch hunts WC all the time. Keep it up! Also, never said you have to prove something to me. I asked you to post some proof to your claims. But as usual people who say "I have proof" or use superlatives do not have any proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time frame closer to Q1 2018. Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I was sure there may have been a few that have been addressed (although thats frighteningly far off in my opinion considering the amount of capped servers, and nearly capped servers currently. I'm not sure the game will survive another potentially 2-5 months if they can't provide more servers for people to migrate to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
