Blackmagic9000 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hello you cheeky scrub lords, i will be talking about why i feel ark is dying  1: meshers, they are annoying as heck and make the game not worth playing at all  2: the biggest issue of them all, a dosser, no one stops em and if you wana survive your base from getting raided by a dosser you must have a tribe mate to counter the dosser  "Send tickets!" I head you say, well unfortunately unlike the speed of Rockstar wild card takes so long to "fix" these issues that by the time they do you lost hours of work if not months of work  And even if said dosser gets banned oh well they'll just get another alt account and thus the dossing continues  Ohhh but yet they have the money to nerf things literally no one asked for....and to make dlc that has more bugs then a fallout game....   Till then, stay safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noa Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Maybe because Ark is developed all around PVP and every change , fix (nerf) and patch is valid on PVE servers too making PVE players to suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator Joebl0w13 Posted August 4, 2021 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2021 This topic is always new and fun. Feelings aside, let's look at facts: The game is still sitting around the same player base as when it was released. Peak active players is about the same (if not a little more at times) than the beginning. So while you might be able to say the player base numbers are stagnant. They are far from dying.

Blackmagic9000 Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 I say mainly of the annoying dossing, i won't say as i don't neither know nor i am a snitch but literally there are people who are paid to doss  So what if the dosser gets banned, likely he will have an alt account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noa Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I don't know what an dosser can do to you. But here is solution: go play 3 months on official PVE server and you will became imune on any type of lag, server crash, roll back, failed to log in, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add to your comment - that graph is just the Steam players, right? Add in the Epic store users (who didn't have Ark until June 2020) and there are probably a fair bit more PC Ark players now than there was a few years ago. As for the console side, anyone have any figures for Xbox and Playstation Ark players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmagic9000 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Regardless late or not this is just my opinion  For me a dosser can cause alot of damage, if you can't get on and this goes for your whole tribe, your done for  Ark is perhaps the best example of seeing how low people are willing to go, of all the pvp i have seen in games, ark is where you'll find the most dossing  People can and will literally do anything to clap you, so when someone asks me "how much harm could they do?" Just look at any ark news, you'll see all the dossing...so much so you could make a news article your self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark's problems don't really stem from creatures design&Tek that much imo. It's more about the inability to have PvP and PVE running parallel having different balance & features and even map designs tailored to each one. I would have also preferred a more linear and scaled progression through the maps' biomes. Each one having mini bosses etc. Like Conan Exiles, although I don't like the moment to moment gameplay etc, I really appreciate the exploration/progression through areas kind of design and loads of mini boss fights for PvE. I still believe reducing caves from the Island onwards and eventually eliminating them in favour of the missions system was their worst design choice by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoughBoy93 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Cluster A everything pre aberration Cluster B everything post aberration Cluster C current state of ark I've just fixed alot of issues people have in ark in how they want to play this game. Numerous dead servers they could take offline and sort them out for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that ARK would never have been so successful had it been otherwise. Speaking for myself, I would never have continued to play if it was strictly a primitive game. I would have enjoyed goofing around, then moved on.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
