FreeEnergyDrink Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Is ARK Coming to EpicGames for Free ? What will happen ? And if yes, then what will happen ? will EpicGames platform get separate Cluster of official servers, or is WC adding new servers to the main Official cluster ?

Cowgirl Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 IDK if it is happening. We have had free weekends before where anyone can download and try the game for the weekend, there is always a big influx of newbies (and sometimes trolls) and a lot of them are the ones that are constantly asking for help with EVERYTHING (like the ones that practically have you play the game for them) but I think its probably because a lot of them are kids that could not otherwise get the game. Most of them do not buy the game and stay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkark Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I think there isnt official announcement about that but I can guess two different routes: - Epic customer will have their own servers. I think this is probably what will happen. - There will be crossplay, which will make WC do severe changes in how the game recognices users (and how users report other platform users), as currently in steam pc the user files are saved as steamid numbers. I think this can open a new vector of problems related to character loss and I really hope it is not the way they decided to do. All of that having in mind that ARK in Epic is just an information leak that is not confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeEnergyDrink Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Interesting opinions One more thing that's scary is that Ark's Birthday Event, New Map, New Dino and Going Free on Epic is all on the same day. Which might create even more problems. Would be cool to get a notice of what's happening in advance. But yeah.. the Epic Mystergy Game is just a rumour still.

johnm81 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 @ItWasntMeUse a vpn and slow connections don’t hinder cheating enough to deter. Or the can hide behind free isp gateways like colleges. All of the above is really irrelevant because WC doesn’t ip ban so it’s a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which can be bypassed with hardware ID changing. Thus, making the account free is a open door to little-to-no-meaning bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator GP Posted June 4, 2020 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2020 The leak was fake. Overcooked was the next free game. https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/free-games Nothing to see here survivors... move along! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuiNerd Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 The leak was not fake, what happened was that Crystal Isles was postponed, and with that ark only left free on epic on the 11th. You can see that now there is another mysterious game on the epic, scheduled for the 11th, and before on the epic website it said that the last mysterious game was going to come out on the 4th.

vittelkiller Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 oh yeah for everyone who didn't know there was a few days ago in the beta branch for the Crystle Isle Patch Corssplay Server, probably crossplay between Steam and Epic. https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/ark/6912312 https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/ark/6730992 Incidentally, a new timer for another Mytsery Game is running in the Epic Store, and surprise it is the day for the new date of Crystle Isles and the Annivarsy Event.

GuiNerd Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 @vittelkiller That may be it, since a few months ago epic announced a set of services for multiplatform games, and it was officially launched a few weeks ago. If that is true it would be phenomenal to be able to play with friends on different platforms.

MadAlkemyst Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Epic went to the "Free Mystery Game" timer weeks ago. There is always a "Free Mystery Game" every week now. The format changed from a known scheduled game (or two) every two weeks, to one week, and now its "mysterious". Has zero to do with ARK being in it's line-up. As for those complaining about the game possibly being free- My entire family bought ARK on a week-long Steam Sale for $10 a pop. Why is that considered better than it being free for a week? Because we traded a latte for a game, but this is just a few clicks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipRavage Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I’m sure there will be an influx of bots and kids, the usual when a game goes f2p. Might as well throw more gas on this tire fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also another server on that same IP called QASteamOnly1, so, yes, much likely that crossplay is between Steam and Epic https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/ark/6995098 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
