Thanks but no thanks Wildcard, I’m done with your product and company.  I’ve invested too much time and money into your company to get repeatedly let down.  You need to make these server sunset announcements more clear in game because I don’t use the forums.  I’m on NA-PVP-TheIsland2017 and had no clue about the sunsetting.  Been investing a ton of time on there for months just to end up losing everything.  I’ve stuck around despite all of the setbacks I’ve faced from the numerous glitches in game.  This news completely tarnished any hope or respect I’ve had left.  I work full time, have a family and kids, and don’t devote my life to gaming where I would be checking forums for news like this. You need to consider all demographics when making announcements because as I said this is a huge and final letdown for me.

So with all the low population servers closing are those players supposed to go play on the completely tek foundationed off maps with tribes that only spend their time hunting bobs? its been hard enough playing on the dead maps just trying to get access to the tributes, i don't see how new or smaller tribe of players can even "play" after this close. 
I think that if they should add a few official cluster types: a solos, duos and/or trios and a no tek, it would help a lot with many players complaints of being overwhelmed  by larger tribes. Even in smalls a tribe of 2 cant keep up with a full team of 6 even playing aroundd the clock. These types are good for those of us who only have a few friends to play with, and with the fear of insiding its so hard to trust other players you don't know to reach a full tribe. I however don't think we should add an ORP though,  the fear of losing your base is what makes this game fun. But if you dont have that many tribe members, in the current game official game mode, you just cant keep up. If we had a trios for example, a tribe of 2 vs a tribe a 3 isnt a huge advantage or disadvantage and would make the game still challenging but a bit more fair.

Quindi, con tutti i server con popolazione bassa che chiudono, quei giocatori dovrebbero andare a giocare su mappe completamente basate su tek con tribù che passano il loro tempo solo a cacciare bob? È stato abbastanza difficile giocare su mappe morte solo per cercare di ottenere accesso ai tributi, non vedo come tribù di giocatori nuove o più piccole possano anche solo "giocare" dopo questa chiusura. 
Penso che se dovessero aggiungere alcuni tipi di cluster ufficiali: un solo, duetti e/o trii e un no tek, aiuterebbe molto con le lamentele di molti giocatori di essere sopraffatti da tribù più grandi. Anche in piccole tribù una tribù di 2 non riesce a tenere il passo con una squadra completa di 6, anche giocando 24 ore su 24. Questi tipi sono buoni per quelli di noi che hanno solo pochi amici con cui giocare, e con la paura di entrare è così difficile fidarsi di altri giocatori che non conosci per raggiungere una tribù completa. Tuttavia, non penso che dovremmo aggiungere un ORP , la paura di perdere la tua base è ciò che rende divertente questo gioco. Ma se non hai così tanti membri della tribù, nella modalità di gioco ufficiale attuale, non puoi semplicemente tenere il passo. Se avessimo un trio, ad esempio, una tribù di 2 contro una tribù di 3 non sarebbe un grande vantaggio o svantaggio e renderebbe il gioco comunque impegnativo ma un po' più equo. 

sorry but without ORP how can you think of defending a base with 2 or 3 people? do you want to do 8 hour shifts each? this is pure madness, pushing people to play so much is like pushing them to commit suicide, those who play so much should start worrying about the tomb they will soon occupy not about ark

even playing 24/7 what? even considering this as a possibility is pure madness. spending so many hours in a row for a game destroying your body for what? now it's clear why fewer and fewer people are playing ark, the few willing to go that far are killing themselves.

Non sono affatto simili meccanicamente. Uno è una base mobile per l'acqua, l'altro raccoglie la tossina delle meduse. Calmatevi.

which then doesn't matter even now there is only one turtle and one turtle-like creature, even if they were the same it would still be an extra turtle any addition that enriches those groups of small animals is welcome, like the amphibians WC you only have 2 add new ones, not to mention the sharks where only the megalodon.

I love it how they keep pushing new crap nobody asked for really. UE5.4 was promised for mid October. Why the silenced about it? Again missing your own deadlines? Ugh. I've got 2500 logged in SP across ASE and ASA combined. I really want to love this game but the Devs really need to get a better publisher so this game can get proper love again. Snail games is just eroding it bit by bit. Work on the performance and engine first! Before coming with nonsense copy paste dinos nobody asked for.

Nice, thanks wildcard, you sunset the servers a day prior, at least mine.  Spiteful much? Was trying to hop on to transfer to a friends server so he can have my tames/items.

At the time you posted this it was already the 15th in Germany, where Nitrado is based. You can blame WC for not being clear about the exact time (including timezones) but to be fair ASE was also deleted at midnight UTC.
You had 2 weeks to arrange this so why are you now complaining over a few hours? You know how instable the game is so prepare in time.

Quando hai pubblicato questo, era già il 15 in Germania, dove ha sede Nitrado. Puoi biasimare WC per non essere stato chiaro sull'ora esatta (inclusi i fusi orari), ma per essere onesti, anche ASE è stato cancellato a mezzanotte UTC.
Hai avuto 2 settimane per organizzare la cosa, quindi perché ora ti lamenti per poche ore? Sai quanto è instabile il gioco, quindi preparati in tempo.

you're right but they could have warned much earlier if they wanted to be correct they could have already said it with the release of the center map or in any case before aberation, also because it was predictable after all at the beginning they had to open many servers on the island to host all the players but now that there are more maps it was obvious that the players would be divided into the various maps and the more they come out the more it will happen.

Ya'all gotta stop complaining. Remove all ARK content and go play something your time is worth. The game is dead, no matter how much crapcontent they keep on adding. They still need to fix stuff as old as ASE.

I love this game, I spent years playing prim plus and it was the most fun I've had in years. All I need is an official mode with no tek on it. We had both in ASE. I don't feel like I'm asking for much and it would appease so many players. But at its current state I just feel like I can't even play official.

It's probably because I only ever played primitive plus on ASE and on that game mode even a solo can build enough plants to make a tribe a 5 take hours to get in, and if you're actively defending, they aren't getting in on prim plus. I do see how tek renders all that pointless though.

That's what I'm doing now just to try and survive on smalls. Day after day I'm hunted and I hide. I can't do bosses because every cave is either taken or completely blocked off. Alphas with nothing better to do than look for me are the norm it seems.

Ecco cosa sto facendo ora, solo per cercare di sopravvivere con le piccole cose. Giorno dopo giorno vengo braccato e mi nascondo. Non posso fare i boss perché ogni caverna è occupata o completamente bloccata. Gli Alpha che non hanno niente di meglio da fare che cercarmi sono la norma, a quanto pare.

friend I understand perfectly that ark can be liked I myself have played for a long time on the official pvp orp servers alone, but as it is now it is not worth your time, I do not know how it was in primitive plus but in normal pvp without orp a person alone or a small group does not go anywhere as you are experiencing now, I alone in orp have done many bosses and went to sleep peacefully, if WC opens the orp servers try them

My issue is I had no alert in game and don’t utilize the forums.  I only found out the day prior from someone talking about it in global chat.  My issue was with them communicating the message out.

Il mio problema è che non ho ricevuto alcun avviso nel gioco e non utilizzo i forum. L'ho scoperto solo il giorno prima da qualcuno che ne parlava nella chat globale. Il mio problema era che comunicavano il messaggio.

you're right, WC doesn't even consider that the majority of players don't visit this forum, something like that should be communicated directly in the game and well in advance.

Your very first post on this forum was 2 weeks ago, concerning the closing of servers.
So may I call it BS to claim you only found out the last minute?

In ASE the startup menu was used for announcments, if they did "forget" to do that in ASA they deserve some blame. Still you knew it already 2 weeks ago.

Does anyone know?

Mmm :

Unreal Engine 5.4: The upgrade work is mostly complete. However, we're still putting it through our internal QA processes as there are a lot of changes that we need to make sure are stable before we can release this out to the wild. We're currently targeting sometime between October 15th and November 15th as the launch window for this update.

"Sometime between October 15th and November 15th" is not equivalent to "promised for mid October"... And you wrote your rant on October 15th lol.

You‘re mistaken, my first post was Monday…
