GroveStreet GroveStreetJordan Posted May 18, 2018 GroveStreet Share Posted May 18, 2018 With the release of ARK: Survival Evolved on iOS and Android right around the corner, we thought now would be a good time to talk about the in-app purchases that will be available to you upon launch. We know that in-app purchases bring out a wide array of opinions, and we’ve sought to offer a gameplay experience that will suit many different types of players. Ancient Amber For those who never want to spend a dime on the game, you don’t have to. ARK: Survival Evolved is free-to-play on iOS and Android, and you can obtain every purchasable structure, item and buff in the game without spending any money. Ancient Amber is a rare resource that can also be purchased (making it an in-game currency) and is tied to your account on an individual server or in single player. It can be obtained without purchasing it directly in a variety of ways: Harvested from large predators Found in Amber deposits scattered around The Island Random chance to obtain from Free Gifts From watching Ads Random chance to obtain from stones picked up off the ground Additionally, we have optional timed XP Boosts and Free Gifts that can be redeemed multiple times per day in return for watching an ad. When it comes to what you can spend your Ancient Amber on, we have many different types of purchases available. All of these have been created with the goal of offering convenient options for players who are not able to put in the hours to grind out everything they want in the game. These purchases include: Structures - Primarily, paid structures include crafting stations that can be used to instantly craft items for yourself or your tribe, including other structures, ammunition, kibble, and paint dyes. These structures become available for purchase as you level up. For example the Lumber Mill, which is used to build wooden structures, becomes available for purchase at Level 15. Buffs - Timed buffs are available to help you get through tough situations. Available buffs include increased weight capacity, resistance to weather elements, and reduced hunger. Items - Single-use consumable items such as the Soothing Balm, which increases your taming effectiveness when fed to a wild creature. Primal Pass We also offer a subscription service that applies across all servers and in Single Player with Primal Pass. Primal Pass is available on a subscription basis for $3.99 a month, or you can purchase the annual pass for $34.99. With Primal Pass you get a permanent double XP buff, the removal of all ads (including those on the aforementioned Free Gifts), reserved slots on all servers, early access to news & upcoming special events, and access to our Primal Pass-exclusive servers. The Primal Pass-exclusive servers are our solution for those who desire a premium experience with less potential paid imbalance. On these servers, all paid structures are disabled and only buffs and items may be purchased. Thus there is no direct way to purchase harvestable resources or structures that could give an advantage to a paying player. We believe these will be a popular choice for seasoned ARK players looking for the most familiar experience. We hope that this overview expresses the great care we’ve taken to make ARK: Survival Evolved an enjoyable experience for all types of mobile players. We believe in giving players choice, and hope that is reflected in the decisions we have made. We look forward to hearing your feedback and continuing the discussion with our community. See you on The Island, War Drum Studios View full record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"With the release of ARK: Survival Evolved on iOS and Android right around the corner" Based on the first statement, it is not out yet but is supposedly very close. Unfortunately I do not know of a release date since I am very eager to play it too! I hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclypocolypse Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 WarDrumJordan Just a couple of questions for you to answer if you feel generous enough 1. Are you a Dev or in contact with one? 2-a. Do you know the release date? 2-b. If you do know, is it being kept a secret? 3. Is there a reason why you have to own Ark on one of the devices posted already before creating an account on here? Again these are just personal questions for if you feel like answering them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contem Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hay how do you know when they message the code for test flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) I assume with them saying just around the corner and summer for school just about to start that it will come out in the next two weeks. That’s just my take on it and I think that they aren’t announcing a release date so that unexpected problems don’t push the date back and thus upset fans like the release of Ragnarok did Edited May 19, 2018 by Sargent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncalaria Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I think if your gonna have inapp purchase,you should allow people to spend money using MOL points,for younger people since they dont have credit cards. And MOL pionts is beneficial way and easier way to make people like me eager to buy things in the game because its easy, just saying WARDRUMJORDAN its better if Ark Survival Evolved has this.My opinion -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
