I have a hard time finding cool thyla stuff in general and LOVE Ark thyla! I would love to see that for sure! I also have a friend that would go bonkers for a lystrosaur plush! The Ark Raptor and parasaur have a very iconic look as well as the Ark trike (being hybrid as it is) so those could be good ones as well to do stuff with. I think the Argentavis are pretty and really love the Ark Yutyrannus as well. Also, if there were Ark temporary tattoos or prosthetics for cosplay made of the specimen implant that'd be awesome!

It's not very profitable for them so wc/sg doesn't really have any reason to keep up official servers. They've made it very apparently clear that they would much rather the majority of players go to Unofficial servers; thus funneling money towards their partner Nitrado as part of their contract. wc/sg has not changed a thing about how they handle official servers from the start of server transfers in A.S.E. and I don't see any chance that they will change ever if at all. Best to either accept official servers as they are or go to unofficial like they want you to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeolusIII Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Ark SA is trash literally every person on official servers has built massive structures with posts to prevent building all the way around the maps so no one can start on a server, every official server all the players have caught the maximum amount of tames preventing newer joined players from starting on any of the servers I'm about too start demanding a refund for a copy pasted game that is worse than the first one.

MrCrash84 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I was asked to do a review for a gaming magazine. This is what I wrote. At first you'd say it looks amazing but soon you'll realize graphics are very buggy, mostly it's the lighting thats is weird. It doesn't seem to come close to the realism Unreal Engine 5 offers, despite using maximum graphic settings. The dino's look cool at about 20 feet, further away they tend to look cartoonish and standing close the textures do not seem to be all that much better than ASE. The dino's give a very MMORPG vibe, simply programmed to do a few things (walk around, attack stuff). Especially herbivores come across as empty vessels, they do not move in herds in ASA, unfortunately. They tried to improve the navigating when dino's are following a player but the dino's seem to go nuts in crowded area's and you'll end up losing them all the same. Fighting from dino's makes the player want to smash his/hers keyboard, there is no crosshair so trying to select a target to engage is next to impossible in chaotic moments. It also won't work if a pet dino stands in front of the target so you'll likely end up with you and your pets being killed. In multiplayer, forget about achieving anything if you do not have a large group of friends to play with. Getting enough resources to build anything fun is next to impossible so forget about caves, bosses or heck, even a few dino pets. Next time you'll login all is gone, killed or destroyed so you'll be starting all over again. Single player is the only way to go if you want to feel like a true survivor and be sure you can finish your building. But fiddle around with the harvest setting otherwise you'll still be building in 2030. You can tell they copied most of the code from ASE and as a result you have a game that, most of the time, looks good but feels 10 years old when playing. In conclusion you can pretty much state that Wildcard had a golden idea but was only able to sell copper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlorianWind9 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Okay, so here's my thoughts about the new merch shop; and these thoughts are directed towards wc/sg so I do hope they take an introspective look at it because if they do then it will be helpful constructive criticism. My point is this: wc/sg, you did indeed have an online merchandise storefront up and running at one point in time (I think it was about 5 or 6 years ago now) and I have the proof of this by the 2 (3D Printed) dinosaur figures that I bought from it. One a T-Rex, and the other a Fire Wyvern; both of which are very cool although printed with very early 3D printing technology so they of course would look cooler now if reprinted with updated tech. But I'm very happy to have them as they are unique statues due to when they were printed(Printed with SandStone instead of Resin). You had other merch for sale at that time to, but instead of expanding the online merchandise store like everyone in your community enthusiastically suggested you do, you just closed it up randomly one day without a further word on the matter. So, fast-forward 6 years later and now you're trying to make it sound cool that you're finally opening up an official Ark merchandise shop. (One that supposedly won't randomly close in the near future). I will be fair and admit that some of the stuff I see in your new shop is nice. However, will I buy any of it? ......The answer is no. The reason why? Because you had your chance to make money with Ark merch 6 years ago like we all suggested you do. Other video games have merch, tons of other various businesses have merch, the thought that Ark with its amazing merch potential did not have official merch confused and astounded your fans; which is why we suggested you make money with merch to help fund you; a suggestion to which you silently said, "No". So then, why exactly should I buy any of your new "Official Merch" when I've been going to other businesses online for the last 6 years to get my Ark Merch. Other merchandise businesses that capitalized on the success and popularity of your game when you refused to do so. Other businesses that not only have a vastly wider array of merchandise for sale, but that are better quality. I, like many of your original fans, want you to succeed and want to help make you better. So take the five minutes it takes to read my constructive impression of your online shop and think about it for a second. Because ever since your announcement of ASA I've been waiting for you to give me a reason for why I should care about any part of the future of your company. Why I should keep caring about one of my most favorite games. The 2nd game ever that I bought for my Steam Account. And you have yet to give me a reason. Give me a reason; why should I buy merch from your shop instead of my usual sources that I've been going to for the last 6 years? Edit: Okay, I will say this also though that I truly expected the poop plushie to sell out first but wow did the Dodo plushie sell out fast. How many of them did you guys make in preparation for opening day? I know it's Christmas season to but still the online shop open for just approximately 2ish days and the Dodo is already sold out?

Ajani Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) So I have played your products combined for a large portion of the last 8 years. I really enjoy the playstyle, the diversity of things you can do on the ark day in and day out is what makes playing other games not as enjoyable. The problem I have is even though I've supported your company with numerous licenses bought on different platforms (console/pc), been a helpful player on official servers, and a continued supporter to all I talk to about the game, you continue to produce products that can't be played. I'm not talking bugs, or graphics glitches, I mean I can not play on your official servers because of your self imposed dino caps. I started playing day 3 on steam (had to upgrade my computer to your requirements), I then put 387 hours into playing on my first server 5246 official pve. The extra life event rolls around and everyone is enjoying the rates and game when....."Too many tamed creatures on the ark".....wait ...what!*!*!....ok think, so we culled tames all of the tribes on the server did (meaning sacraficed either time raising or taming) 1 hour later, same thing mind you we are at 58/250 tribe cap.... So my GF and I said its extra life we will take advantage of the rates and new servers opening and start again. this time we start on 5278 official, which dropped at 8pm est durring the event, so as fresh as we can get. We go over and get a base and everything set up again, I get another 300+ hours into this server, my gf is 170+, and the Thanksgiving event rolls around, were hatching our boss rexs out, when all the eggs stop cooking, I look and theres those dreaded words again.."Too many tamed creatures on the Ark..this time it was even faster, and we had even less tames because were experienced players so we dont tame low level or useless tames and i was saving cap for rex raisings. and to top that all off, we joined an old ASE tribe mate on 5153 and within a week they were tame capped as well. 1) Why set tame caps so low that literally every PVE server is on the verge? 2) Where TF are cryopods, it was stated 3 weeks durring extra life, then it was Dec 20th that was circled, that has come and gone, it was also noted that it might be in winter wonderland, but then Ced said we will have to check on actual cryo timing, and your twitter says this month (December). Meanwhile majority of your official player base is twiddling their thumbs or killing 5-6 tames to hatch/tame 1 so lets talk about sacraficed hours....Can we get an adult to answer at WC please....or i need 3 refunds Edited December 21, 2023 by Ajani typo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote Mike585x who responded to another earlier on this CC; "Were you actually expecting something different?" Of course this is the case, because this is still wildcard and this is still Ark. These are among the reasons why I have not yet bothered to waste my money on A.S.A. Because why should I pay again for the same bugs, glitches, and problems; only with a prettier gloss of paint that requires I pour even more money in to upgrade my machine to play it? I began playing A.S.E. shortly after it was launched in early access, and I finally gave up on official servers in November of 2017 when during an Extra Life Event I found the server I was on to be completely unplayable; thus wasting the boosted rates for me. Now, I'm a survivor; and not one that easily gives up or whines; so that in itself is not why I finally gave up. Why I finally gave up is because on this particular server I'd decided to live a solitary life hidden under a waterfall in a small and easily defendable raft-house on a pvp server. During the Extra Life Event, the server glitched and crashed and kicked me out; and I relogged to find that my character had glitched through the raft's bottom and drowned. Okay, no problem, happens all the time, I'll just respawn on the bed that's on the raft right? Hmm.....Nope! Because you want to know something interesting which I learned that day? Apparently you can't respawn in beds that are placed next to an "enemy's" foundation or pillar. Not even if your bed is on a raft and floating well above said foundation/pillar. And guess what the bottom of the river I lived on was covered in? Foundations and pillars placed by a larger tribe to claim territory. So; apparently; since Leedsichthys smash rafts out in the open sea, and since I'd be incapable of respawning on my own rafts when sailing in the shallower waters of rivers where Leeds don't spawn, then that meant that living on hidden and defendable single player mobile raft-homes wouldn't even be a possibility for me. To make matters worse, the closest random respawn point to my now unprotected raft was so far away through dangerous territory that I'd have to build another raft just to hope to reclaim my original that had all my valuable stuff on it. So; I just decided at that point that I was done with wc and their official servers. I simply no longer had the time to deal with their nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafts are broken right now and you can't access beds on them- nothing to do with spawning near enemy foundations. They plain just don't show up because the render is so small and once its out of render it "doesn't exist". Sometimes it does (maybe 1/10 times), but it is VERY unreliable. Rafts are basically pointless unless you already have another bed nearby or leave it in the shallow and use it as a trap only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
