Yeah im sure dishonest and unethical behaviour will continue to work long into the future. Because no one will remember the last 4-5 years of terrible performance.

That is true , probably those people should make their criticism as they should but not be over pessimistic about the future. Wildcard has no interest to lose all its credibility , the first game is what it is , its a great addictive game but not perfect and its problems cant be solved on its current engine , there is no reason the devs dont want to create a better experience in ARK 2.

Rio4201 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Analyzing the last few months of Dev activity may help you come to some forgone conclusions. I particularly took notice in the surveys sent out by Cedric to the community involving questions that glaringly point at an MMORPG approach to the future Ark title, including questions about the crafting system and a few other things. That, and with the company expanding into the realms of Television, hiring big names for Rockwell, Santiago, etc, that tells me that they are upping the ante here and breaking into a different genre of gaming with Ark 2. Ark 1 was and is still great, we recently moved back to Unofficial from Official, just got tired of the drama and dealing with those who thought their self worth and importance were more of a priority then letting us enjoy the game the way we wanted to play it lol. Ark 2 however, seems to be heading in the MMO direction at least from the design standpoint, and it makes perfect sense that Wildcard would want to cash in on something subscription based to keep the development team paid, upping their game in customer support, and allowing for more stability. I could be 100% wrong in this, but if I were a betting man, i'd put my money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is, why is that even a topic? Like, where is there any relevant information about why the gameplay core mechanics is going to be different? If that's the case, would they not be basically killing of the entire community? We are all here coz this game is how it is right? With all its flaws... And to be honest, I cant see the point of working for years on trying to better the mechanics behind a game style like Ark, only to suddenly do something completely different. And DILO has Vin Diesel got to do with all this???? Is this some type of stepping stone to a film? I feel really lost after that buggy trailer. Fighting animations were extremely weak, looked like something done in Blender And although I love Ark, if this is all true, I would bet its only a question of time before Ark starts to decay, seeing their poor ability to multitask various games at the same time. All said and done, im on the fence with Ark 2. I got around 5500h ingame and Im not new to the game. So if its an Ark 2.0 im all in, if not, I dont think I will stick around much longer. Can anyone shed any light on where the info about it being different comes from? Cheers all, have a good one Well ARK started off as a great PVP game then over the years slowly devolved into a quasi PVE game especially with the last few DLCs which mostly catered for the PVE/Roleplayer/People that care about Lore audience. If ARK 2 did end up being some silly story based game with dinos and other monsters I wouldn't be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I respect and value your opinion mate, WC themselves stated multiple times over the years that the vast majority of the playerbase is PvE. I can't blame them for following where the money goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only hope though they don't forget about their PVP players going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverinee Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Ark has rather a huge fanbase , that means that no matter how many people play PVE there will always be enough numbers playing PVP that WC will not ignore. The PVP community in ARK is very relevant and is most probably a bigger community than the whole communities in several other games. On Playstation there are 11 million people that own ark,that is without taking in consideration the PC and XBOX communities. About ARK becoming more mmorpg , why would they change a formula that is very successful and addictive to play ? They luckily already stated that ARK will be a survival sandbox just like ARK . The only thing that needs to be changed to make ARK even more popular is making sure the game has a lot less glitches this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats great for people at WC studios and volunteer mods that hold their water bottles at all costs, but we the players that actually spend hours and hours in game would appreciate if the new game works.

Dinobros2000 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 It is not a spin off it’s ark 2, and the player base is still split, so it will also be PvP, it’s still open world.. And plus, these last DLCs have plenty of dinos geared twords PvP, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHelleri Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The storied experiences of Ark's main characters have had little to nothing to do with the actual game experience thus far. They really only serve as a vehicle to clue the player into content they have yet to experience. I mean the dossiers aren't even accurate. A new player can accrue hundreds of hours of play without even realizing that there is a storyline. There is no reason to expect any of that is going to change with Ark 2. Look at the original trailer for the Ark we currently have. The first part of it is rather similar. A primitive tribe dealing with a rex. It's not until halfway through that it shows anything more than raptors and parasaurs as tames. Though the original trailer does show a bit of what progression looks like after that first half. The difference is with that trailer everything about it was new, so they had to show off a bit of everything to give an idea. With the trailer for Ark 2, well most watching already know what ark is. So the goal would reasonably be to show off what's different or better about it. Like nipple shading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
