Dylan1602 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I've been playing Ark for 10,000 hours now and I think... Saying how long you've been playing the game doesn't make you special or your point any more valid. Just state or say what you want to get across to the community and leave it at that. Saying you've played the game for x amount of hours doesn't give you some sort of entitlement, it just makes you look childish. C'mon guys, lets cut this out and talk about things all on a level playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I havent even checked my play time because I dont want to know !

FrankTheCaesar Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 What I love seeing on gaming forums are the people who are insulted at the "nolife" accusations. They usually give some excuse like they have 3 children and work 60 hours a week, yet they have 100+ days combined play time I know it's not my place to "judge" but come on..A parent shouldn't be spending more time on a video game than family. Those kids must be pretty miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshot879 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 People claiming that their 6000 hours means they are a really experienced player you don’t know wether they spent that 6000 hours figuring out how to punch a tree so it really means nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaskur Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 you playtime kinda says something about your experience... but yet I still value 1000 hrs on official servers far more than 4000 on boosted private servers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critter Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I dont mind people mentioning the hours they've played, regardless of how many, if it's basically their indirect way of saying " I'm experienced enough, so please hear me out", which is usually how they intend to use it. Obviously I have no way of checking their hours played and its irrelevant to me regardless- but those who use it and then make really petty arguments or statements afterwards, sure, it's irritating. Let them be xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I experienced enough? In all seriousness, Steam time doesn't equals Play time and I totally agree that this should not be used as "experience" nor as an "argument" to prove a point. I was AFKing on the main menu 75% if not more of that time because I was rarely closing the game except for updates at some point. But hey, if players feels their play time needs to be mentioned it most likely means that their arguments are invalid as a whole - just saying.

Oh wait, we're being serious here. I mean the amount of hours played has some value, but it's not something to blindly stare on....... Might as well have 5000 hours logged, where 4000 are sitting afk at base waiting for the next feed/imprint timer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteer Moderator GP Posted November 27, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted November 27, 2017 I've played for 1,999 hours and never once stepped foot on an official server and it makes me feel pure!

ForzaProiettile Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Time played is a general indicator of how experienced you are at the game and therefore someone with 2000 hours is more likely to not make poor suggestions then someone with say 200 hours might do. I think though PVP vs PVE player is an even better indicator of a player's worth. You look at what PVP players say and then compare then to PVE and they are miles apart. That said time played isn't everything. There are a lot of players out there that for whatever reason to not seem to change or adapt. To give you an example I know of a player who has close to 3000 hours and yet is still shockingly bad at this game. From designing a smart base to combat he just has no clue, if you didn't know how many hours he had you would think he was almost new to the game.

Guest DJRone89 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I have 3465 hours logged on Xbox but I reckon 1000+ of those are me just chatting in a party, distracted, working out what I was doing or going to do lol. Besides with a game as grindy as this, hours played genuinely means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kids must be pretty miserable. I've played quite a long time but my daughter is anything but miserable as she also plays along with us on our own rented servers. That's if we aren't playing other games together - Minecraft, Just Survive and she also plays her own games - Garys Mod, Minecraft Story Mode and The Sims 4. I agree though, hours don't matter - especially when the majority of them in this game are simply grinding or waiting for things to tame etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get to play our game much as I'm way too busy with other stuff, however most of my hours are in our editor. So it doesn't show up on Steam.

Demerus Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Most people claiming to have lots of playtime gets me thinking how much of that time was spent AFK waiting for imprints, rendering babies for juvi transition, waiting for metal to smelt, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
