Snakeshot Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Mine is the Titanaboa, insect swarms, glitches and player you raid for no reason . I mean why do you even need a swarm of insects to eat you alive. Plus the Titanaboa is so stupid I kill them instantly but then I just fall unconscious. Oh whats the point of raiding me killing one tame and then just getting obliterated. Also I mainly play Xbox but has this come across anyone on single player Im trying to do a hardcore game and get every creature tamed in genesis but when I teleport to another biome my tames lose all the stuff in their inventory when I come back including the saddles does anyone know why this is happening.

Vit0Corleone Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Least favorite "thing"? I would have to go with the horrible performance of the official servers in regards to frequent crashes, rollbacks, disconnects and constant lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level4Gaming Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I'd have to go with the poor optimization and visual bugs, and the radio-silence from WC and reluctance from them to fix them. I run on a very good machine and I can't get stable 60 FPS. (I'm on PC, and the optimization here is bad, I can't possibly imagine how bad it's gotten on consoles by now, I used to play there and the game barely ran 20FPS most of the time.) I didn't mention the poor PvP balancing and toxicity because I've long abandoned official PvP in favor of a friend's private server. The PvE balancing is fine, the creatures that the OP mentions aren't really a big deal to me or anyone who's been playing for a long time, all you need to do is stay on a mount or use ranged weapons when traversing swamps.

Martellus Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If I had to pick something, its the little things that really annoy me. RIght now the fact that when I create a torch, the icon displayed is blank instead of heaving the picture (or equivalent) for a torch, lol.

Noa Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I like PVE. So unpleasant things aree many as game is not designed for PVE but for pvp in first place. Probably they added PVE in latter stage of development in fear to not get enough players for ark. For example extinction. Players are not for alpha king titan there as you don't get any reward except bugged homo deus skin earned with high tek technology like mega mek and that skin cant be applied on tek tier gear So for what players play there? For OSD and element veins. Server is claimed to be for 70 players at once but im sure there is no resources for all 70 players. At once there drop max 4 OSD - blue, yellow, red and purple and players are forced to compete. Competition mean PVP. Yea on pvp server is easy task. you just kill your competitor but on PVE is just time to do something else for example looking for element vein but you are too slow, there are others that claimed rare vein before you. In general pillararing and to be "to close to enemy foundation" is another issue. Not because you are "to close to friend foundation" but because we don't have 70 equally worth spots for base building. And that mean competition and full PVP on PVE server. Same with resources. What if all 70 players want to mine same metal rock on same hill? Just one can do it and all other 69 players have to wait respawn time and compete with others who will be first. On PVE servers we kill new players with torture no mercy with cold and starvation as he cant place camp fire nowhere because all is pillared or near someone base. Also no any build in incentive for tribe to take random new comer in tribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One. Only one is driving me insane......inventory management hiccups. Especially in split screen mode.....One person managing inventory is kinda ok, but if the second one bumps their inventory or exits, it freezes the other persons inventory.

Thyme Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 My least favorite feature is the baryonyx. If you're hit you and your mount are 100% dead. At least purlovia and microraptors only have 10 seconds to kill you, a bary will keep spinning for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC2Conway Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Timing out and dying then having to try for hours to get everything back and timing out again and again.

SCAREKROW Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 No dedicated server option on PS4/5 for Genesis or Crystal Isle. Cryofridges only holding 72 pods. Managarmrs being over used and OP on PVP. Devs not communicating about the PS5 enhancement patch and its wheteabouts... was supposed to be out last month.

I guess because mana on PVP allow heroic escape instead of shameful death. On PVE for me is medium dino with bad weight and hard to influence where he will land plus bugged on few maps.

skinnypotato Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'm getting pretty sick of this. About to delete this game. I put so much $ into it. I even emailed them and they did an update and guess what it was every 5 mins now it's every 3 mins u freeze than it drags ur body back 20 mins before where u left off 20mins ago like DILO. Really they need to fix this crap. rebecca_rill_07@yahoo.com If they like to try to email me again. Cus this game sucks so bad. Keep doing update cus every update will make it suck more. Next u know it I will not b able to move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next u know it I will not b able to move He he. I'm sure you like this game and a lot as you complain. The day you will stop complain will be bad for Ark as you might be cold enough to leave it in silence. It was a lot worse time a go. It have many factors to cause it. I'm used to run in building and get up to 3rd floor then game move me back in front of house. Also with experience you will learn how to prevent disaster when lag is coming. For example you fly with argentavis and want to land to specific area and argy do not execute landing command. You need to look at his food gauge and stamina if it move, if not is because of lag. Pressing space and then E to jump from argy to floor might result in your death as when lag is over you can discover that argy is still high in air and dismounting it will result that you fall from high to the ground and die. Wildcard worked hard on some issues like on textures and rendering to minimize possible causes of lag. On PVE where is high concentration of bases and structures with high amount of tames out of cryofridge is normally that tipe of lag. Wildcard reward who keep dinos in criyfridge by giving additional XP to freezed tames. Also game save things every 15 min for security reasons. Next thing is on your side - internet connection and its quality and your gaming hardware. For ark 2 is promised to use next generation of graphic engine which will probably provide a bit less lag. But one or another type of lag will always exist in so massive multiplayer game. Just a little more patience and all will be fine Thank god we don't have many artist in game. Think about painting functions. We have possibility to draw a pictures on base and buildings walls, even a photo. ( we have camera tool too to take photo in game or possibility to import it) and we have possibility to do tatoo on avatar) One with low hardware not only that will fell big lag once he get in render range with such painted house but will probably experience instant crash.

I get what you're saying but I still hate when people say this. Ark would seriously be one of the best games I've ever played if it ran correctly and the bugs were kept to a minimum. So much wasted potential. There was one time early on where I tamed a high level argy and was very proud of myself. I had a base with a large hatch frame and ramps going down into the main room. Flew in and jumped off the argy to shut the door. He bugged out getting stuck in the door as it was closing. Insta killed. I was so demoralized. Things like this have happened counless times over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like wildcard has spent a lot of time on this game clearly but I think they need to listen more to the players about the lag and glitches. Even playing single player with a friend makes the game freeze, but hopefully Ark two wont have any of these glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryManson Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 sh!tty server performance & non existent community support & bug fixing (takes them like half a year to a year to fix something they broke in a patch) on a personal note: they never turned ark into DinoRiders 🤧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
