Some of this stuff will probably begin to feel like it belongs in the game like whips, flamethrowers, extinction dinos, etc. I feel like the DLCs should have some MORE of their engrams and dinos dipped into the main game to prevent new players from being completely left out of any meta due to not buying the DLCs from the beginning. Ragnarok, Valguero, and Crystal Isles do great with this for scorched and aberration, but it's still at the point where to defend some base spots a tek railgun is expected, or a Reaper, which can't be obtained for free. With snow owls and managarmrs being essential to PVP, unfortunately you can't do much to counter them without z fruit and I don't think you can get Z seeds at all without the Aberration or Genesis DLC. I kinda hope that the Astrodelphis is as useless as a flying Gallimimus with terrible weight or you guys can buff that creature to compete somehow. When I started ark it was very disheartening to be killed by creatures from DLCs I don't own, and I really despised that. The only reason I didn't quit from my first experience was because the tribemates I had when I started this game bought the DLC to get the good Extinction dinos and did good to keep us going from getting wiped for a while.

This amount of downtime is a disgrace especially during the holidays when people actually have plenty of time to play and instead we're sitting here draining our sorrows in christmas candy getting fatter and fatter

As above. Our official server EU PVE 395 is crashing hourly each day the past 2 weeks. We have sent numerous reports but still no help. This need to be fixed asap. Valuable items have been lost, players are leaving and this will continue to descend. Help us out before it's too late please? Good people/friends are now abandoning the game. https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/ark/6497958/downtime

This game deviated sooo much from what made it popular in the early access. From survival game with dinosaurs it became a weird fantasy/sci-fi mix with survival component marginalized to the extreme. Disappointing.
