Community Crunch 429: Mods Spotlight, LiveOps Update, and more!

[Mihcail]

Like i said last weekend instead of shutdown those servers just make them just with the vanilla game, for those who just want to play without those crap DLC’s and op dino.

you will get more guys playing your game.

E sono le persone su quei server che se l'è cercata, non gli amministratori. Se le persone che giocano su quei server non facessero i bulli con gli altri, i server sarebbero attivi e nessuno li chiuderebbe. Semplice. Vuoi dominare? Fallo in modo intelligente. O vai a dominare il server privato.

I would be careful to put all the blame on the players, even if the mega tribes and alpha tribes alienate players they do it using what the game allows, in the sense the ability to create huge tribes given WC, the decision to make caves buildable which hinders many players always WC allows it, the ability to cover huge areas with pillars and foundations is always allowed by WC, the crazy system of training and mutations is kept as such by WC. The first to make mistakes is WC who has not learned anything from the old ark and they do not even try to correct themselves even if they know they are wrong and they demonstrate it with the small tribe and conquest servers where they try to avoid problems but fail for multiple reasons. in conclusion all of us players, albeit in different ways, are stuck in a system that doesn't work while slowly but steadily collapsing on itself and in the end there will be no winners, but only a dead game.

Your last big update killed my GPU peformance on Nvidia hardware.  I can't get more than 20 fps now with settings that used to get me 40-60 fps (frame gen disabled).  Now my GPU is always at 100% load and performance is abysmal.

Try turning off shadows. It's the only thing that's making the game playable on ps5 right now

Maybe they should have thought about that before deeming it wise to be the same toxic and justifiably unliked people that frequent Official servers.

Week after week I read this hoping they've made the right decision. Maybe one day my friends and I will play again. 💔

I don't see any problem with buildable caves, there are no unraidable caves
Pillars is only PvE issue. Yes, it might be annoying, but people learned to live with it.
Don't see any problem with mutations system. Moreover, as a person who was breeding for years on hardcore servers, i like it and got nothing to complain (this is just my opinion, don't try to argue and change it, it won't happen 😆)
Meshing and cheating are the serious problems that has to be constantly worked on. And toxic players is another problem (but that WC can't change)

Non vedo alcun problema con le grotte costruibili, non ci sono grotte non raidabili .
I pilastri sono solo un problema PvE . Sì, potrebbe essere fastidioso, ma le persone hanno imparato a conviverci.
Non vedo alcun problema con il sistema di mutazioni. Inoltre, come persona che si è allevata per anni su server hardcore, mi piace e non ho nulla di cui lamentarmi (questa è solo la mia opinione, non cercare di discutere e cambiarla, non succederà  😆 )
Il meshing e il cheating sono i problemi seri su cui si deve lavorare costantemente. E i giocatori tossici sono un altro problema (ma quel WC non può cambiare)

my friend you as you said you played hardcore so you had the time and a large enough group of people, but most people are not like that. mutations and caves are a problem because now on the servers many people with different possibilities have to coexist so the caves become a problem because the large tribes can try to face them but the small ones no, the conquest servers are an example where they do not allow constriction in the caves, mutations can become a problem because those who have time and numbers can use them but the majority cannot, the pillars are a nuisance. pretend to be a group of 4-6 people with an hour or an hour and a half of time a day to play these things become a problem. now the only people who can play is a player can play in large groups and who can dedicate 3 or more hours to the game. the only possibility to hinder the toxicity of the players is to divide them into categories there are servers for small tribes but they are useless because without orp and without cluster you are always exposed to the same problems as normal servers. to give you an example of the problem you and I are the exact opposite you played in hardcore I played in orp the biggest problem is that at the moment we two should play in the same servers and this doesn't make sense

it is not true that they do not change before a creature could have up to 360 mutations now 255 and conquest servers not allowing construction in caves, servers for small tribes are a failure but they have the goal of giving a place to those who play in smaller groups these are timid attempts to divide players into more homogeneous groups. in my opinion the only solution is that normal pvp and pvp for smaller tribes are treated as two different games like pvp and pve it makes no sense to force people so different and with different possibilities to play together.

A solid guarantee to get the game out of early acces.

Probably this October, we'll have to see what the next crunch brings...

[Camo4546]

People keep complaining about servers and stuff, while I’m here on single player on the Switch cheating as much as I want to and not having a care in the world.

[Camo4546]

Kinda bummed I won’t be able to do Fjordur or the Center with my bro, but at least I got all the DLC maps I paid for 👍

[Thalguard]

Please work on rock drakes physics/mechanics for climbing and attachment to surfaces. Thanks

[Frisbee]

I vote they mass wipe and restart every small tribes server because oh my god, why is every single one that doesn't have a 20 player counts on it foundation spammed across the entire map??? Some even have cryo fridges blocking drops to make it near impossible to get off the map. I don't even see I bother playing this game 0/10 right now 

[zrenx247]

Give ravagers there bleed back once tamed please 

[DarkDraken17]

I haven't really been able to play ascended yet and enjoy it because of the graphics looking horrible on my series S,

so i've been having to still play evolved sadly.

Voto per la cancellazione in massa e il riavvio di ogni server delle piccole tribù perché oh mio dio, perché ogni singolo server che non ha un conteggio di 20 giocatori sulla sua base viene spammato su tutta la mappa??? Alcuni hanno persino frigoriferi criogenici che bloccano i drop per rendere quasi impossibile uscire dalla mappa. Non vedo nemmeno che mi preoccupi di giocare a questo gioco 0/10 in questo momento 

I would like it if they activated ORP on small tribes' servers 

[Scuff3d]

Their servers wouldn't be inactive if they actually played pvp. ASA would have done alot better if you weren't allowed to build in caves, one tribe becomes alpha and prevents anyone from building up. New pvp meta is boring. Bring back 2016 ark, pt battles and tame sniping

1)Treating the game like a passion project that you care deeply about to the very tinniest detail and are proud of having created to the point where you continue to care for and nurture it long after it's lost its value. Instead of treating it like a product whose only purpose is to fly down the conveyor belt as fast as possible to be consumed and profited from.

2)Treating the community like real passionate individuals who cooperate to create and build the game who have their own vastly unique lives outside the game but choose to come back and spend time within it because of the love and joy they have for it. Instead of treating them like pocketbooks who have no idea what they want to spend their time and money on but they, wc/sg, know better than them what they the consumers want to spend their money on so they'll shove garbage painted with glitter into their hands while insulting them at the same time.

Do just these two things and you end up with a competent and successful business. 👍

Even better yet, you're also playing the A.S.E. version of the game which is by far the better and more stable version between the 2! 👍

The people who complain about server and game issues on here nowadays are the ones playing A.S.A. Which probably won't ever come to the Switch, fortunately, unless they make a "Switch 2" which can handle it. 

[ambamambam]

It's crappy to call some of these servers inactive. My server is one on pvp and it has 5 separate smaller tribes that play everyday. It's a shame to waste as much time as we all have, just for it to be taken away. I'm officially done with ark when my server is sunset. Will be having a giveaway of all my tames.
