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

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. 

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)

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

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

What is the right decision?

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. 👍

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.

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.

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. :)

People here are so delusional. You do realize that up until scorched earth came out, the game was basically the 2016 ark that some of you want back so bad. Guess what, people got bored of it after two months. 

The only thing you guys need to fix is the terrible performance the game has. Make a way to disable nanite for the foliage because its straight up killing the game for many people. Its a joke how even high end modern hardware needs to rely on upscalers and TAA in order to make the game even playable at a reasonable quality and performance, and older hardware that used to run ASE with no issues whatsoever can only dream of getting 30 fps at 1080p rendering at a 40% resolution scale and having 2 seconds of TAA ghosting. People are waiting for FSR to come and save the day for everyone yet they fail to realize that its only a bandage patch for the terrible performance that's hiding underneath.

Where is Ragnarok? Its by far the mod map people liked the best in ASE and we still have no news about it. I'm glad extinction is coming back, but at this point I feel like people are just waiting for ASA to become what ASE used to be up until Genesis release which ruined the PvP aspect of the game. I hope you revert the cryopod nerfs with Ext release, because as of right now people are using them the exact way as they did in ASE but with the extra annoyance of having to take a cryopod and a generator to every single map you transfer to.

That's my rant. For the love of god, fix the performance. I couldn't care less about how good the game looks if I have to play it at 40% resolution scale at 720p with the extreme input lag that all the upscaling and TAA adds, and I feel like most people that play PvP share my same thoughts. I know so many people that are still playing on unofficial ASE servers simply because they cant stand playing at 30 fps on 2024.

Please do not make server 9112 inactive!!!! We literally just to moved to this server this past weekend!!!! @StudioWildcard

Lucky you, not much is lost then.
You had 2 weeks to pick an active server, why you choose that one?

(Don't get me wrong, closing servers is a major Nixon move but you could have avoided this.)
