  1. Lol, you make me want to try out PVP again. I don't know how you survive. Anytime I get to the level you are at and begin taming the animals you are taming... I not only get raided but completely wiped by some dude with super high level wyvern or managarmr. Side note, I don't have much free time and I usually spend the free time that I do have on Ark so I usually just read rather than post. I read your reply about the cluster you are on Aushegun and would loved to have found another cluster to find with ya but alas I am on Xbox and just found out you are on PS.

  2. I just don't get why Wildcard doesn't just stop making DLC's and sponsored mods that are only available on PC and actually start making the console community happy. Over half of the community plays on console, and WC is only catering to the PC players. I get that making DLC's (and some mods) earns WC money, but what does that matter if you lose half of your fan base and player count. I feel like they are just being greedy and doing everything they can to stretch the amount of money they can get from people, whether it be a DLC or the ARK Genesis Season Pass. I'm hyped for Genesis, but playing the same old game with no new additions in between maps gets kinda repetitive. If WC added the ability to download mods for Xbox One and PS4, then so many players would stay on the game. I've had a ton of friends who played on a server with me who quit ark because they just found it so boring with there not being any mods available on Xbox. Also, Wildcard has said in the past that mods like S+ were confirmed to be coming to console, but when they were asked for a time frame, the only response was "soon." It has now been over two years from that post, and nothing has been added to change that. I don't mean to rant, and I think that I am a nice guy, but I've just had it with this game and WC. I'll probably watch YT videos about ark and the upcoming Genesis DLC, but I won't be playing until something changes.

  3. hover over their icon picture next to their post, wait for the popup box, click 'message' ======================================= What I did in ark today ======================================= EU-PVE-Offical-TheIsland ----------------------------------------- I hopped on and thought about doing some stuff there today but the server was lagging pretty bad, so I fed my dino's, did a little care around the base, then refreshed the beds and decided to hop over to extinction and check on the monkeys. EU-PVE-Official-Extinction ------------------------------------------ Once I got there things seemed fine except the 1 minute server save lags that kept happening, I cryo'ed up all the normal Monkeys that had fully grown and left the colored ones out, giving a bunch hats with clown masks and dodo masks. After being there for awhile I decided to head out to the wastelands and look for airdrops, and thats when everything went down hill. The server began getting massive lag spikes, and people were getting disconnected left and right, it would settle for about 2-4 minutes and then again, everyone was getting disconnected. This all started happening just as I came up on 4 reapers on my giga. I thought for sure I was going to be dead. luckly when i was finally able to gt back to my giga, it was still alive and the 4 reapers were running off chasing a gas bag, luck held out that time. I started moving the giga back to the city, I knew this wasn't the last of the lag spikes, I got 1/2 way there and just as I was about to kill a rex, disconnect again. This time it took the upwards of 15 minutes before I or my tribemate could get back on the server. once again, my luck held out, when i finally did get back on, the rex was dead by something, not my giga as it was set to passive, but dead none the less. I started heading to the city and got in the west side where the green area is with the beaver dams, after passing it, and just getting up the ramp to the main central path... another disconnect. this time the server didn't let anyone get back on for at least 10 minutes, I was the first to get back on it. Managing to get my gig back and cryopodded i headed to the transmitter and found i had 12 minutes to wait. Just about the time I was going transfer out... server offline... fun... sat around wating for it to come back, when it did, it was already lagging yet again, so i got to the transmitter and was able to transfer back to the island. EU-PVE-Official-ScorchedEarth ------------------------------------------------- I had a crafting character on scorched earth so I decided to hop on it and avoid doing any transfering, once there, more lag.... whats going on today? I headed out with the rex and gathered abit of meat for him, and some fish, he loves fish... after returning to the little base, there was a dung beetle just outside, so I checked the feeding trough, sure enough spoiled meat! so i tamed the dung beetle who was only a lvl 25, and shoved more meat into the feeding trough so the little guy would have something to eat as well. so much rubberbanding during all this, after taking care of the dung beetle, i decided to log out of that server. EU-PVE-Official-Valguero ---------------------------------------------- A Friend needed some help over there taming a argy, so i told them about my open taming pen, and they headed over, I was standing around waiting for them when a 135 argy came out of nowhere and ate my poor little naked body. Okay no problem have a bed there, so i respawned. They showed up shortly after and lured the bird into the trap and I scarficed myself inside the trap to the argy because, yep you guessed it, more lag and rubber banding. they started tranqing the argy when a bronto tail decided to get in the way, one swoop and the person i was helping went flying off the cliff and into the water below, luckly surviving, me, not so lucky, I looked like a rag doll bouncing off the cliffwall all the way down to the beach and across it to the water... obviously dead. I spawned back at my main base grabbed my wyvern and started collecting mutton for them, on my way back to them, they said a alpha carno was close by so I headed in a strait line to them, rubberbanding several time backward over the water, thankfully no disconnects though, and when i arrrived I was the carno, just above on the hill, so i flew over and tried pulling him away from the pen incase it decided to flee while being attacked.... and then it happened... a large lag spike...when the lag stopped and I rubberbanded, the carno was standing On top of my wyvern... I couldn't move... I kept biting and watched my wyverns health get lower and lower... but then a passing diplo distracted the carno with a head butt, and it hopped of my back, I quickly flew off and regained stam. I managed to pull the carno after that to a far cliff and got it to walk off the edge. The argy being tamed was safe. after they got the argy tamed I bid them farewell and headed back to base, more lag, more rubberbanding.. wasn't just me either all the '1' popping up in chat surely showed that. once back at base I parked the wyvern, headed upstairs, laid on a bed, waited for a server save and logged out. UE-PVE-Official-Extinction ---------------------------------------------- I remembered my rollrats were still out, and a couple baby monkeys that were only to juvi stange so I decided to hop on via the second account and go cryo them. I got to the pen where the baby rollrats were picking their own food, and.... crash....well... not really a crash... the server disconnected once again, but this time instead of sending me back to the main menu it locked up ark tight, I couldn't even alt tab out of it, could pull up the windows menu, but couldn't get any program to take focus over ark. I had to reboot. After rebooting I went to fire off ark and... "Install Ark" was the button in steam.... okay restart, nope same thing, restart steam, nope same thing... click the install button .... check downloads.... "validating ark" .... just not my day... at this point I gave up... the juvi's will be dead most likely and the rollrats by the time I'll be back on... rip... and with that... I quit playing ark for the day. Could someone please explain how the "Server Network" is "Healthy" when there are constant lag spikes that are obviously server side sense they are effecting everyone? How in the world can this be considered "Healthy" and if that actually is "Healthy" I gotta say.... *looking up at the previous happenings* ...I would really hate to see a "UnHealthy" ark server...
