I'm sure they will focus on finishing Ark and not starting up to you I said you so now would be a complete waste of everyone's time effort and money. Ark is a great game but they need to make sure they do all the fixtures and Bugs first there's no point moving onto a secondary game to continue a story line if they can't getthe first one appropriately handled and fixed.

If they do make a sequel here are some pointers to help make the PVP side of the game better:

- Limit tribe sizes to 10

- Remove the ability to form alliances

- Makes flying dinos unrideable or seriously nerf them so that ground dinos become a popular means of transport

- Add more siege equipment

- Add specialist melee weapons ie weapons that get bonus damage to certain things and not others

- Add javelins (metal throwing spears)

- Propers ballistics for all ranged weapons ie no more crappy hit scan

- Limit the amount of structures that can be built in a particular area by one tribe ie keep base sizes more reasonable and less laggy

- Make all player stats viable. Food and water are currently a waste and fortitude isn't far behind.

- Better dino balance especially at the top end. Less of the one dino beats all ie the Giga.

I think that a Prequel could be AWESOME ! Because we don't know what are the ARK, who created it, where they came from, what or who are the "homodeus" and most importantly: Why/How we came to those ARKs ? The prequel can give more informations about those questions

no, we're about to know that this year. just look how the story is starting to play out

To anyone saying the ark is made by extra terrestrials i just have one thing to explain. If Homo Erectus is a chimpanzee, and Homo Sapien is humanity as we currently are, would it not make sense that Homo Deus would be either A the humans of tomorrow as in we being thier primitive ancestors or B the humanoid creatures that made himanity to begin with (i believe the latin word for God is Deus) just speculation tho... As for this topic as a whole it would make sense to make a sequel at some point to clean up the code. As it stands every week or 2 theres another 2 to 7gb of updates and that makes me believe the code may be a bloated piecemail that still has problems that are near impossible for a dev team of 25 to fix. My only suggestion is that if this game has indeed been a financial success that you, at least double your dev crew so the bugs get fixed asap before the problem piece of code gets buried in the matrix.

Will character loss in transfer and boss fights be fixed in ARK 2?

Also will "Internal Policy" be amended following release of last ARK 2 DLC?

Probably not, those are key and defining features of Ark at the moment. As for the Internal Policy, are you referring to the internal policy set by support that states they are not able to refund any lost characters above 50, dinos over 100, TekGrams, any items, or provide an possible compensation at all for item/character(s) lost due to the aforementioned features?

Character and Dino loss through unavoidable bugs, such as Crabs knocking any tame on Aberration through the mesh if engaged in a fight, are key and pivotal pressure valves in slowing down player progression so they have the most possible time to appreciate things like how cool Ark looks, as you fall through the mesh to your death on your third 230+ Basilisk because, for some reason, Wild Crabs can properly path over four story high walls into your yard but the Mega on follow can't path over a singular palm tree in the middle of the road.

Homo Dues is actually a book that they based the story off of. Yes it is man evolved into a non corporeal being.

FYI- the Dev Team is now over 40 and they're hiring like crazy.

Well, you really can't blame WC for bugs. Any game adding features is always going to have bugs, especially a game like ARK. Look at Minecraft, a game where I could probably run on 4k even with an older computer, but servers are still a pain and ARK runs mostly on servers. ARK I cant play on 4k or 1080p because its completely blown Minecraft out of the water with graphics, I mean, Minecraft is made of BLOCKS, such an easy, non-detailed thing. Plus 720p isn't that bad when it comes to graphics and WC is better at it than they use to be, so ARK 2 wouldn't be a bad idea as it would be a fresh game with a new drawing board to work off of, and by then they may have 45, even 50 people! WC has some mistakes to fix, but we got to hand it to them, they made an amazing game!

I dont see the point in a game like Ark having a sequal, there is NO point, its a survival game, update the game or make more DLC's but there is no point in a sequal, unless its an entirely different game, like instead of Dinos its something else, but in that case, it wouldn't be a sequal, it just be a new game.

There is a point, wildcard was a growing company with inexperienced devs when they began making Ark. The amount of problems Ark has written into its base code because of this is why it will NEVER be the perfected version that everyone wants it to be. The best way to achieve this well polished version of Ark everyone wants is to start from scratch, remake it and call it a “sequel”.

For me ARK is a wonderful idea and huge potential wasted by terrible project management and overambitious devs.

I'll be excited for a sequel as long as wildcard isn't involved in it?

With wc current record 1-2 yrs will be more like 8-10 if ever lol. Hopefully by then all current issues fixed as well lol

Okay, guys, look...WildCard has made some pretty stupid decisions, and Ark is a deeply flawed game in some ways, but I honestly don't think you guys understand how bad this game had the potential to be. Stupid decisions include having a DLC in the middle of the EA period, or releasing the game out of nowhere just so that they could crank the price up to 60$. My question to you guys is how many of you stick exclusively to Official Server Multiplayer? Those servers are by far, ,the worst part of Ark. They're totally broken and are very difficult to play on unless you join a megatribe. If Ark as a game was ONLY the Official Servers, then I would honestly give it a 0/10 score. It would deserve no praise at all. That's not the case. Singleplayer is the best singleplayer survival experience I've ever had. It's challenging but rewarding. Unofficial servers are just like Official, but without the hackers and trolls (the way that the official servers should be. All that included Ark is easily a 7/10 game. 

Ark is excellent in concept and is not at all bad in execution. You have no idea how bad this game could be in the hands of a different company. WildCard has learned from developing Ark. I understand being frustrated with some of their decisions, but they've made a lot of improvements to the game that get completely overlooked by the community. TLC pass anyone? They didn't have to do that. They could have just left things how they are and nobody would have given it a second thought. Most developers WOULDN'T have done the TLC pass.

I guess what I'm saying is, sure, keep WildCard honest, but whether you like it or not Ark 2 will be made by them. If you don't like it then don't buy it. Also, Ark gets a bad rep, but it is not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination.

I can honestly accept what you're saying here. Let's be frank. Ark was groundbreaking, but in my *totally uneducated and possibly completely incorrect opinion* I think that the reason the game can't be fixed is that the developers can't just completely trash the code it was originally written on and their attempts to patch just aren't working. Maybe knowing what they know now, the next thing they put out will be what Ark should have been. I'll definitely buy it, because despite all its short comings this is still my favorite game.

 

 

Alright, let the sh*t storm begin......

Agreed.

Yep, I agree....

> Hopefully in Ark 2 we get more than "Another Right Punch" or "Finally a left Jab.". lol | Streets of Rage had more sophisticated combat mechanics. 
> Animals that are mating stand side by side and just listen to whistles. A random friend was whistling at me and my wife after a period of her complaining. It didn't work. I didn't catch the reference until I started playing this game.
> Tames vanishing from certain parts of the map.
> Tames getting stuck and clipping through structures on certain parts of the map.
> The space-saving technique of parking a bronto's butt to the wall so its tail sticks out of the building causes crashes via bad-collision. 
> Injured people don't bleed, but creatures do?
> Creatures bleed the same bleed every-time.
> These creatures are so tame, that they do not even move to the feeding troughs to eat, yet... they eat.
> These creatures are so tame, that I have to tell them to wonder in order for them to wonder.
> These creatures are so tame, that I can beat my dog(wolf) till its bleeding, and it ain't fleeing. 
> These creatures are so tame, that they let you kill them.
> AI needs improvement, dunking gigas and titans... they have no wits about their own survival. 
> AI needs improvement, tek-turret behind metal spikes will cause the creature to agro the turret and never destroy the spike wall. 
> AI needs improvement, alpha-rexes run from my theriz.

Okay... cool, what went right?
> An idea got illustrated in a game to an audience and despite that the games content wasn't premier quality, the idea in itself was. This game is a fore-runner of a style of play, genre, and more. This game cannot be looked at through the lenses of the dichotomous pass and fail. Otherwise, it still passes. It will every-time. The expressions of one crew, one team, and one purpose > content completion so as long as that expression is a new expression. 

Keep up the art SWC. I will be buying ark 2. Especially if its in the name of a "redo."

Been there, done that. True, Unofficial servers make this game playable for someone who doesn't want to dedicate whole life to it. However, mods and unofficial servers only delayed the bordom of ARK's gameplay loop for me. They do not solve severe core gameplay mechanics and server flaws.TLC types of updates came way too late and they should have been released in EA, not 5 months after premiere. I will not let that sIide. I uninstalled the game 7 months ago. Promised features such as building and AI overhaul never came. I only want to see if WC is serious about fixing the game in weekly patches. 

I doubt a lot of ARK's players will be excited about ARK2, which will not avoid being called as "fixed ARK 1" by players. WC fell into the trap of feature creep, thus the ARK2 cannot have less content than previous game. Now, 100+ dinosaurs will be hard to achieve for the sequel. Everyone knows WC has a bad reputation in playerbase, so WC would have to change for better for real this time if devs wanted to count on old playerbase of ARK to buy ARK2 when is released. 

By the way, currently devs are so silent, the game development seems to be in limbo thus it makes me wonder if they finish the life cycle of ARK very slowly. The future will give the answear.

I'm sorry I'm convince these devs are incompetent with the year I spent with ark, pointless dinos being added in when game breaking exploits are left untouched for years, unbalanced gameplay ruined the game for anyone not willing to dedicated their lives to this game speaking from a official standpoint and ive learned unofficial can be just as cancerous as official.

I'm sure I'll buy the second game when it comes to game preview because I doubt we'll get a finished game when they market ARK 2.

It's funny. I'm the total opposite. I think Ark is an excellent singleplayer experience and I think the game is fun in that regard. I respect SWC unlike many of the fans, but I would definitely not buy Ark 2. I don't think there should be an Ark 2, at least not for a decade. It's a survival game. Survival games don't need sequels.

I would like a Ark to. I know ark isnt at its best in terms of performance overall but its still a great game to play there is no other games like Ark, Ark is one of a kind. But they surely rushed their dlcs out to fast. The game was only released in August as a full game. It hasnt even been a year yet. But i hope for an Ark sequel!
