Someone check my math. I have to buy a game that doesn't exist yet, that I may not want, to get ASA? Someone please tell me I read that wrong.15 points

It's Ark 1 with UE5 and you have to buy it all over again including the DLCs. You also lose all your years of effort, just gone with the servers being wiped. They said this was going to be a free UE5 update, but it's bundled together with Ark 2, forcing you to buy it for 40$ What a complete joke. I expected WC to raptor up, but not this bad13 points

Because this is so close to April Fools theres 2 things that I am gonna say under the assumption NOTHING in this is a joke. 1. ARK 2 delay is fine, make the game as good as you guys can 2. Survival Ascended: why make it paid? Many other games release next gen upgrades for free. IF some of this is an april fools you got me fooled.10 points

Love how they said that ue5, was going to be a free update and now its paid and you have to buy it on a bundle for a game that we have no idea what its going to be or we are going to like it! smooth wc, inconpetent programers and now money grabbers? Siiiiiiigh they never fixed the live longs bugs on ark 1 and now they are selling us the remaster lmao9 points

I can tell you guys are hurting for money as you want to charge your customers who have been loyal all these years like your personal wallet.... charge me for the same game.. it should have been an update and there is not one "Customer" that dosent agree. Really WC DO THE RIGHT THING!!8 points

No ... no not really8 points

If UE5 is the reason Ark 2 is being delayed because its such "new technology". Which, btw does not have that many breaking changed from UE4. Then why is it you can release the Ark 1 remaster in UE5 in only a few months... The remaster which was meant to be free originally?8 points
-
Well Jeremy said this was going to be a free update if this is no a joke then im done with all of your games we dont know anything about ark 2 gameplay and if this unreal engine 5 update its not free then bye honestly after reading all these things i dont want to play anymore7 points

You've got to be joking me. Just throw the upgrade for ue5 out the window. Work on ark2 no one would trade our progress from the last 7 years for a disaster of a game that's gunna replace it. (Asa)7 points

This hurts ark. Even worse than your crashes. Total money grab. What are you doing to your player base?7 points

I just want to say thanks to Wildcard, now I can close down servers and stop checking for any semblance of news every week. There is no need to keep the current game (or servers) going when ue5 is a new game. Frankly, this news sunsets my interest in Ark and officially transfers me to the “I’ll believe it when I see it” server for Ark 2. Also, kinda hard to believe they have nothing worth sharing, it’s been how long since we’ve gotten a trailer and still no game footage? How do you go years with nothing to show for it? Maybe they’ll turn it around in 2024 or maybe it’ll be 2025… Either way, best wishes to the community! I’m impressed we’ve all held on until now.7 points

You do realise it’s been set to 2x permanently like 3 times in the past right…? The current rates are ludicrously high compared to what they used to be on official7 points

worse choice you all could have made, 1. shutting down all official servers. 2. making us repay for a game we already fully paid for. and making us all start all over again. this really shows that you all could care less about your loyal player base that has been with ya'll this whole time. you just spit in the faces of us all. i agree with the push back of ark 2. you should push it back till its the best game it can be, but continuing to milk us for money is just plain wrong, a lot of games offered free upgrades to new gen. and some games even allowed for transferring data. i can understand you can't allow for bases to be transferred. but but making us start from scratch with char and dinos is a bad choice. one of the ppl from your company posted that the unreal 5 upgrade would be free, and now we hear that we have to pay? really goes to show that there's no communication within your own company. it was already bad that half your GMs could care less, now you show as a company that you could care less about everyone. congrats you just lost over half your play fan base.6 points

Disappointment 9,000 hours on ark's official server. for now the news arrives that they are going to be shut down because this company wants to make money on everyone again, instead of updating the current one.6 points

At first, I wasn't going to be commenting but after hours of anger being built up, you have it coming to you. I have played ARK SURVIVAL Since it first was released in BETA STAGES IN 2015. Use to love this game, played non stop even though my computer was not able to handle it, after 60 hours My PC fried and was not able to play again. In 2019 when pandemic happened I was able to get a PC and play, and Purchased all the DLC's that were available, when GEN 2 Came out I purchased GEN 2, excited with how many features and promised dinos. Since the purchase of GEN 2, There has been NON - STOP CRASHING. Sometimes over 15 crashes a day, sometimes worse. Official servers being offline for more than 1 day, this year had a server down for 2 days even though reported it multiple times. - Everyone on the server originally thought maybe some fixing had been done, and ultimately it had not. The performance and crashing was worse than before. Since the beginning it has been a product we want to play but cant even enjoy without performance issue and crashing. Even though still had hoped and reported it to Outages, so many outage reports!!! could easily reach over 5,000 reports over the span that GEN 2 Has been released. I have contacted their Discord, Support Submitted multiple time to get this fixed, and all you are told is "continue to report on outage report" With not even being able to enjoy fully the amount of time gen 2 has been released on official servers. We paid money for something that thought would be amazing and was terrible, no support and felt very shady. Regardless, have been playing this game Since 2015 and continued to have HOPE and wish that Wild Card would have value for their customers who paid money for their game -> but they do not care, atleast that is how they make us feel after paying for a half a$$ project, This is only the icing on the top that would continue to release a DINO VOTE All ARK 1 members were able to vote for a dino that was promised to ARK 1, and which return is not and is only going to be able to experience it if you re purchase ARK SURVIVAL ASCENDED + DLCS, that I already have... It's truly a Slap in the face, after 7,000 hours of supporting this Game, encouraging others to buy DLCS, buy your game & experience your services only to be stepped on and asked to pay more money. We are obligated to this free upgrade, as Jeremy promised on twitter months before the announcement was made, and yes you did say in announcement "things changed".. Easily could have managed money from ARK 1 SALES & DLC's BACK INTO THE BROKEN DLC'S AND GAME. Instead you have taken our money given us a HALF-A$$ Project Invested the money into ARK 2, and try and convince us to REPAY FOR BASE GAME + DLC's. Completely unreasonable and as a a company who claims to care about their customers shame on you. I will not be supporting Wild-Card Games, including ARK 1, ARK 2, or any other games produced or manufactured by WILD CARD. 😠 Remember if they did this with a game that has a huge community who are passionately expressing their opinions and be told we are to ungrateful for asking for the bare minimum. They will easily do it again With ARK ASCENDED and ARK 2.5 points

We are shutting official down... but wait there's more, you can buy the game and grind all over again IN UNREAL ENGINE 5 tf about my time on official just to be 6 years in the crapper for 50 bucks and a game that has not shown its worth it 😤5 points

I think I can speak for almost everyone here when I say that we expected a delay (not that big, but the spirit of it at least). Personally I don't mind. You seem to have a clear vision of what you want ARK2 to be, and I applaud that. Also everything that attempts to save devs from crunch is good. What I do mind is telling us so little about the game for the *check notes* year and a half until its release. We all expected the roadmap to be the beginning of more communication, not a way of stalling and then getting more of the same. As for the rest, it's an interesting choice to make the remaster a separate entity from ARK: Survival Evolved ; it solves a few issues the community was worried about, but brings up a few others. Bundling it with ARK2 is a good call, that said ! I appreciate it. Hopefully in the next few months we'll be hearing a lot more about the long list of things ARK: Survival Ascended will deliver, including those you didn't have the time and space to detail here. Keep the conversation going, please ?5 points

No breeding event every other weekend, no point playing. Who is running things over there? Making the most stupid decisions time after time. Its almost like you want to lose the players before Ark 2 comes out.5 points

WC be like "lets put it out there, if community react bad we pretend its a april fools joke, if they react ok, we keep mug them off... win-win" I understand you guy need money to advance thru work, but look at other games how they do it, sell skins, sell new dlc`s, etc... you guys ask money for a game that "may" or not will be realeased at end of 2024 and I dont even know if I would like it or not... cuz if its all this missions genesis crap, ill defo not like it. Peace out... P.S. I still hope its a bad april fools joke4 points

Hey there Survivors! We’re ready to reveal ARK's roadmap for the next year, covering various game-related initiatives, new platforms, and media. The community’s support continues to be incredibly humbling and inspiring for the team, and that enthusiasm helps drive us toward creating the ultimate survival franchise. What we’ve planned has changed due to many shifting factors, but we believe it will ultimately provide the most fun and excitement for everyone who enjoys ARK. We know you’re eager for the lowdown on our plans and more transparency regarding what’s behind the curtain, what’s evolved, and what has sprung anew, and we’re ready to share that with you… But before starting, we want you to meet our new friend! Download in full resolution in the Media Kit And now, for the roadmap… After careful consideration, we have decided to delay the sequel's launch to the end of 2024, when it will still launch exclusively on Xbox, Game Pass, and Windows distribution platforms (Steam/PC). We’ve put much thought into delaying ARK 2 for the betterment of the final product and the team's well-being. This news will be disappointing to many - we feel it too - but we’re confident this heavy decision is the right one. So why the delay? Our goal is to make ARK 2 the best game it can be and provide a truly exceptional and rewarding experience for players. Unreal Engine 5 is incredibly new technology to us (and all developers), and we aim to use this cutting-edge tech to its fullest potential while creating a game with never-before-achieved scope at Studio Wildcard. As we learn more about the engine and develop the sequel, we have adapted our workflows and adjusted our pipelines to accommodate this new next-generation paradigm, and because of everything that involves, we need more time for development. We sincerely apologize for this delay and genuinely appreciate your understanding. Your support and passion are vital to us, and we will continue to work intensively to deliver the ultimate next-gen dinosaur survival experience. With that in mind, we do not plan to showcase any gameplay/screenshots/videos of ARK 2 this year; however, we intend to keep you informed and engaged in the development process by regularly showcasing more ARK 2 assets in the months ahead, leading to our gameplay reveal next year. But! Our desire to push the boundaries of what ARK 2 is on a next-generation platform has led us to the decision to create an intermediary Unreal Engine 5 ARK product utilizing some of the new technology we are building, allowing us to further our mastery of the new engine and ultimately battle-test some of our riskier technical advancements. We’ll gain a deep understanding of how well the rendering and lighting techniques work on console, what performance will be like, whether we can optimize and deliver interactive water and foliage on a widescale basis, and much more. We will deliver cross-platform modding, cross-platform multiplayer & a new account system, informing us about other changes we should consider for ARK 2. Due to the scope of all the technical and QOL changes required for such a next-gen experience, it is not feasible to make this new version of ARK backward compatible, which led us to conclude that this would need to be a separate product. We also recognize that ARK 2 has some pretty significant design changes from the original game, which may not make it as appealing to everyone (looking at you, Souls-like combat, primitive-only weaponry, and strict third-person mechanics – and an overall “very serious” tone), which is why we feel it is essential to provide players with a fully next-gen version of the original experience to ensure that fans can continue to enjoy the ARK they know for years to come. We’re thrilled to share this new ARK journey with you this year -- bringing players from PC, Xbox, and PlayStation together in a next-generation version of the game you love, topped off with revolutionary cross-platform modding. Download in full resolution in the Media Kit ARK: Survival Ascended is a next-generation remaster of our beloved ARK: Survival Evolved, harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 5. It will be released on Xbox Series S/X, PC (Windows/Steam), and PlayStation 5 by the end of August 2023. The base game will include The Island, SOTF, and all the “Non-Canon” DLC maps (which will be added to ASA over time). Xbox Series S/X and PC players will only be able to get it via an ultimate-value bundle known as the ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended AND ARK 2 and will be priced at $49.99. This bundle will be available to purchase from the end of August for up to 1 year (after which ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK 2 will be sold separately). Additionally, the bundle will provide players access to an exclusive 1-month closed-beta to ARK 2 in 2024 before the rest of the general public can play ARK 2. PlayStation 5 users will be able to get their hands on ARK: Survival Ascended as a standalone next-gen game at launch in August 2023 for $39.99. All the expansion packs will be sold separately on all platforms: $19.99 for Explorer’s Pass, which includes Scorched Earth, Aberration (Q4 2023), and Extinction (Q1 2024). $19.99 for Genesis Pass, which includes Genesis Part 1 (Q1 2024) and Genesis Part 2 (Q2 2024). At ARK: Survival Ascended’s launch, players will have access to The Island, Scorched Earth, and the new revamped game mode, Survival of the Fittest. In addition to many other new features, ARK: Survival Ascended will feature the following improvements and enhancements: Unreal Engine 5 Overhaul with Nanite, Lumen and RTXDI Dynamic Water Interactive Foliage Unreal Engine 5 performance gains: instanced-rendering (large-bases etc.), threaded server networking, and native physics engine Cross-platform Multiplayer This includes cross-platform accounts and cross-progression, cross-voice chat & friends, etc. No matter what platform you start playing on, you can access your account, character, dinos, and items on a different platform for the ultimate cross-platform experience. Cross-platform Modding We recognize the power of giving players the tools and capability to define their survival experience, so we want to take cross-platform one step further by working with Overwolf to introduce an industry-first cross-platform modding experience where mods created on PC are delivered directly to end-users’ consoles from a custom modding backend. The modding capability will include FULL blueprinting support ;), stacked mods, and maps. Everything that is currently possible on the Steam version of ARK: Survival Evolved and more will be possible on the new system and be available for end-users to play on consoles in all modes. Premium Mods: Reviewed by Overwolf and Wildcard for quality control and value, Mod authors will optionally be able to specify price points for their Mods (with 50% of the price point going to the Mod author). This is necessary to pay for the custom infrastructure required for Overwolf to support, administrate, and deliver Mods to the console. We plan on streamlining the process of upgrading legacy ARK: Survival Evolved mods to the next-generation platform. We plan to reach out to current/former sponsored modders in preparation for the launch of ASA with the tools they need to get their mods ready before the launch. Cross-platform Anti-Cheat Survival of the Fittest SOTF will be integrated into the main product as a new fully-supported game mode. It will have a dedicated team that will continue to work on more gameplay changes, mechanical improvements, quality of life, maps, and balance adjustments. The initial mode will be revamped with an exclusive ARK: Survival Ascended update, including: Upgraded to Unreal Engine 5 with complete cross-platform and cross-modding support (the SOTF UE5 source content will be released for modders to utilize as they wish within ASA) Scorched Earth SOTF Map Matchmaking queue Character and Creature customization with cosmetics Local Lobby where you can group up with your friends, configure the look of your survivor and dinos, and queue up for lobbies together Lots of bug-fixes and balance and functionality improvements Art Assets are being upgraded throughout the entire game Newly-designed holiday events take advantage of the next-gen pipeline, released as mods, so they’re always available to play! New content, QOL improvements, balance, and gameplay changes, including but not limited to: Updated mini-map (pan, zoom, pings, etc – similar to the SOTF mini-map) New structures (display cases, smaller TEK Teleporters) & building QOL improvements (snap fixes, increased foundation support, foundation height adjustments, and more) Queueing System New third-person camera (with the option to opt out) Directional Sprinting and Walking Ping system Gamepad cursor Chibi Slot and Skins Tab Balance passes (e.g. Cave Entrances, MEKs, Aberration Creatures, more breedable creatures, etc) …and more! (seriously, a lot more, this list isn’t exhaustive, but it’ll get super long if we list everything, and there’s more we’ll decide to do between now and launch too) We understand there will be questions regarding LiveOps for the product, so we’ll review some key areas now. Final Content Update: In June for ARK’s 8th Anniversary, we’ll release ARK: Survival Evolved’s final content update, which includes the fan-voted Rhyniognatha! Cross-platform: It’s important to note that ARK: Survival Evolved (ARK:SE) and ARK: Survival Ascended (ASA) will coexist but will not support crossplay between the two games. ASA will have undergone profound functional changes which prevent it from being compatible with the previous game. Holiday Events: We plan to develop and release ASA-exclusive holiday content that takes advantage of the next-gen pipeline released in mods, so they’re always available to play! Official Servers: With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will be taking down all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved – at that time, the final save-datas from the ARK: Survival Evolved Official Servers will be uploaded for players to re-host on their own servers or play in singleplayer/non-dedi, as well as slightly earlier snapshots. You will still be able to play on single-player, non-dedicated, player-dedicated, and unofficial servers. ARK: Survival Ascended will have its own fully supported Official Network for all platforms. Feature Sunset: With the launch of ASA, we will be ending official support for Primitive+, Split Screen, and Procedurally Generated Maps. These aspects of the game will not be ported to the new Unreal Engine 5 version. We will look into releasing the source files for Primitive+ for those that wish to repurpose aspects of it for mods. ARK: Survival Ascended Updates: The remaster will have regular updates to resolve bugs, introduce new content, balance changes, and quality-of-life improvements for years to come. ARK: Survival Evolved Updates: will be limited to crashes and critical bug fixes. We plan to release a new canonical-story expansion pack for ARK: Survival Ascended that will be available in Q4 2023. This DLC will feature four new creatures, which we’ll share more details about later this year! ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition has been off to a great start on Nintendo Switch. The insightful crew at Digital Foundry called it "one of the most radical improvements in game quality (they've) ever seen." So far, we've launched Scorched Earth, Aberration, and Ragnarok, with Extinction coming on April 11th. Our current estimated timeline for the rest of our significant releases is as follows: April 2023 - Extinction May 2023 - Small Tribes servers June 2023 - Genesis Part 1 October 2023 - Genesis Part 2 Winter 2023 into 2024 - Remaining community maps Spring has been an exciting time on the platform, with the release of the Carcharodontosaurus now roaming around The Island and Ragnarok. Eggcellent Adventure begins on April 3rd, bringing this full event to players on Nintendo Switch for the first time. Lest we forget ARK: Dinosaur Discovery, which also saw a content update to v1.5, recently adding a full-featured in-game map and numerous gameplay improvements. As a reminder, ARK: Dinosaur Discovery is a separate download available for FREE to all digital owners of ARK on Nintendo Switch. Finally, we are happy to welcome a swath of new players from Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan & South Korea. Both titles are now available locally on Nintendo Switch in those regions from our partners at Spike Chunsoft. We have some important news for Mobile Survivors! At the year's end, we anticipate a relaunch of ARK: Mobile as a completely revamped product. It will be based on a graphically improved version of the Switch codebase due to the increased power generally available with mobile devices and include new Switch features and content and mobile-specific changes. We plan to release all the expansion packs and non-cannon maps over time into this revamped version, and from that point onwards, ARK: Mobile will have its product lifecycle and roadmap. Download in full resolution in the Media Kit ARK: The Animated Series has completed the animation and cast recordings of all its 14 initial episodes, which are currently in post-production (VFX, sound mix, etc.). We're delighted with how the show turned out -- it's an epic melodramatic love letter to dinosaurs, fantasy/sci-fi, and of course ARK itself -- though we have not placed it yet with any platform, hence the lack of news in that area. So as soon as there's more to report, we will let you know! Thank you everyone for reading through this substantial write-up, and stay tuned for more information on the ARK: Survival Ascended in the months ahead toward its August launch! Studio Wildcard Conquest servers are being re-introduced for a new season by Snail Games.

So our current servers being shut down, new version out but not with all maps? Which maps do u include as non-canon, we have no idea. So $50 for the island and some random maps you're not being specific on + $20 for extinction, aber and SE + $20 for gen1 and gen2 and they're not even all coming out at once? $90 for a game that is supposed to be eclipsed by the new game pretty much as soon as all the content is out?4 points

Honestly i could be more happy with new paid DLC map for ARk 1 than the whole Ark 2. I mean paid DLC with quality, quantity of new engrams/creatures/features like Aberration or Extinction. I think theres more people like me, if not majority!4 points

A lot of you are an ungrateful lot. Ark is a great game, with some problems, sure. But WC has given us YEARS of fun with Ark, and you just want to tear them down. Have you payed for Ark 2? Have they taken your money for it, yet? No? Then wait patiently and maybe coax them along with some positivity. I, for one, am willing to wait as long as it takes for them to put out an awesome sequel to an awesome game!4 points

This is where our relationship ends. You don't talk with us, you expect us to fix your problems by paying you more money so you can continue to fly by the seat of your pants all the while promising things will get better and reminding us to "keep on surviving" WELL!!! I have survived (not lived) but survived for over 17k hours of playtime. I have seen how you treat the player base, how you fail to fix issues, not just for months but for years. Honestly I don't believe you know how to fix poop without creating more problems. I don't think a new engine is going to fix anything if you dont know how to drive it!!!!! which is what this boils down to. You screwed up bigtime and are trying your best to cover it up and get more money to try and fix what you already broke (again) *sighs* I have trust issues with you and everyone who has lost their trust in someone knows it is one of the hardest tethers to make strong again if at all. I am angry, sad and unwilling to give anything more to a team that doesn't understand this and is so disconnected with their player base. So many people making posts here that clearly articulate your shortcomings, they deserve better than the slap in the face you just delivered to everyone. Shame on you....really.....Time has shown me who you really are, there is no love in the end.3 points

A bitter appeal for Wildcard devs Roadmap... It was so bad and I don't understand why few days ago Jeremy Stieglitz was so excited - we've got only bad news. I expected this roadmap to be dissapointing because I was expecting delays but it isn't dissapointing, it's just sad. Everyone expected ARK 2 moved to 2024 but rather early 2024 not end of 2024 (so probably early 2025 because we will have a few small delays just before ARK 2 launch for sure as always). In June 2025 we'll have 10th ARK: Survival Evolved launch anniversary so can you guys from Wildcard just promise us that you will give us ARK 2 not later than 10 years after ARK: Survival Evolved? Or maybe better not promise because my main problem in this roadmap are broken promises. First about ARK UE 5 update. Me and for sure many other ARK players would be ok with paid remaster (you can buy new version of ARK and support Wildard in making ARK 2). But there is one big problem - you announced ARK UE 5 update will be free for all ARK: Survival Evolved players and now you changed your mind (it looks like you were surprised not only how much time but also how much money do you need for making ARK 2 - it shouldn't be a surprise for experienced devs like you). That's first broken promise and many ARK players will call it was a lie. Also there is still a big group of players in official servers so if they want to play ARK: SE in the future like this they will be forced to buy ASA. I also don't like idea of paying for DLCs maps again. If you want us to pay for ARK remaster just give us one final price for everything. Now about ARK Animated Series. At start of 2023 you promised us that it's just around the corner and people are expecting this series very, very soon. Today you wrote just few words informing us that you still even don't know on what platform the series will launch, also no date when to expect this show. That's second broken promise. Will we see Animated Series in first half of 2023? That's why I'm sad now and why I can't trust you guys anymore. Just don't make promises if you are not sure you can keep it. Respect your community. You should know it but you still make the same mistakes again and again. There will be no ARK 2 gameplay trailer or screenshots this year. I just hope when you released info about ARK 2 in 2020 you've already making this game, it wasn't just a idea and now ARK 2 is very advanced in development right now but not ready to be shown yet. But you should be ready to show us how ARK: Survival Ascended looks on UE 5 and I think all of our community of ARK players would like to see some trailer soon. So don't promie us this trailer, just show it to us. So please Wildcard - no more promises, just show us new trailer of ARK on UE 5 and inform us when you know where and when we will be able to watch Animated Series. Restore our faith in you. You have to change a lot in communication with fans. Good luck.3 points

I will wait one day to see if all of that stuff is true, it's already April 1st here in EU as some ppl pointed out. But if it is true then....RIP. I won't start all over that's for sure. Will be a shame to lose the community we build on our server. The bright thing on it will be me not spending my time on Ark every week anymore. So I guess...ahoy freedom?(sarcasm). Still hurts..3 points

Everything done an Beginner Server is useless because the server wipes. That said... You cannot fish up blue prints with a normal crafted fishing rod. Everyone is talking about a special fishing rod that drops 100% from an Alpha Tuso (20% chance alpha moso). In the past when there was only TheIsland Map no dlc's, players could attack alpha tuso with their mount or their player (same as you level a chibi) on multiplayer and get a drop called the ADVANCED FISHING ROD (some other rods but they are nerfed or gone from recorded history although I have their autorized cheat code and it still works in single player mode). But you have to kill alpha tuso with your mount or character or this will never drop, if it is still in multiplayer at all. To do so is madness of effort or perfect team coordination which no one on a beg server has. Those who brag doing solo need to quit gaming get job as doctor or lawyer you accomplish beyond reason. Now a days, Beginner server has a time limit of 8 weeks before a wipe there is not time for such investment. Instead we now settle for the lesser fishing pole drop still from Alpha Tuso but we go at him with an army of sharks/sarco (level speed on your sharks a bit they cannot keep up). You can ride any lead mount you want like dolphin or manta but it is best to choose the Diplocaulus. Lead your horde searching the ocean floor for the rare rare rare rare rare spawn of alpha tuso hope you can find him before eight weeks is up with change to spare so you can pass out argy saddles to newbies who are going to quit the server in a few days anyway. It's a time challenge. The problem with this is it takes a HUGE amount of effort as a solo player or with a newbie log-in-on-weekends-only-tribe. Huge as in it is really much more advisable to simply play another server rather than a Beginner. Those who do remain on Beginner pursuing this are doing so for the challenge not because it's easy. Think, my friend, about why you want an argy saddle. You want it because it makes collecting metal and picking up anky easy, right? Ease. You wanted it for ease. Do you not see the hypocrisy in pursuing the hardest item to get - for ease? It's an oxymoron incarnate. You do not need to ride an argy on a beginner server to advance your base. You can use other dinos or learn to simply use follow command whistles and have argy army follow you. Diplodocus has better weight carry than argy. A level 17+ wild caught pelagornis has better stam/weight than a pter. You have alternatives and that is what a beginner server is about. Playing the game where the smaller creatures and land mounts matter. To skip this is to deny the beginner server it's purpose; keeping you reliant on the lowly creatures so they still have value. Argy as a mount is not one of the lowly creatures.3 points

Verse 1: I wake up every morning, to the sound of hungry roars My pack of dinosaurs, they need to eat some more I grab my trusty spear, and head out into the sun Another meat run, the day has just begun Chorus: Raising dinosaurs, it's a wild ride Feeding them meat, we can't hide Yet another meat run, tis the end of fun But it's all worth it, to see them grow strong Verse 2: I remember when they hatched, so small and frail Now they're towering over me, with their massive tails But they still need my care, every single day I'll do whatever it takes, to keep them from harm's way Chorus: Raising dinosaurs, it's a wild ride Feeding them meat, we can't hide Yet another meat run, tis the end of fun But it's all worth it, to see them grow strong Bridge: Sometimes I wonder, what the future holds Will they stay by my side, or venture out on their own? But for now, we'll stick together, through thick and thin Raising dinosaurs, is a challenge we'll win Chorus: Raising dinosaurs, it's a wild ride Feeding them meat, we can't hide Yet another meat run, tis the end of fun But it's all worth it, to see them grow strong Outro: So here's to the future, and all that it may bring Raising dinosaurs, is our way of living And when the day is done, and we're tired and sore We'll rest easy knowing, we've given them all we've got and more.3 points

not all about only stats. for bos fight you need good saddles. for rex 100+ armor. if you have low saddles, your dinos need more hp. rex is a universal boss dino but here is a many other very good dinosaurs for bossfights, spinosaur (water boost good for spider bossfight) therizino fast meele dps need breeding for boss fights, pack alllosaurs is a amazing with pack boost to damage 50% and damage reduction 25%, ferox, you need some good helms redy for change but with helmet 1000+ armor and durra.. (i use it for master controler. fast and super mobile dino. or you take tank, stegosaur , amazing damage reduction, but slow. so stego with cakes and kibbles and you with good shotgun and many ammo ....... immortal combination 🙂 many dinosaurs many possibilities2 points
