  1. Why do we need a steam if we are console players? Why did it suddenly become needlessly complicated. Whatever happened to just letting us put the saves on our host now we have to buy a whole server just to save stuff that we've had for years? Please tell me they don't think this is going to appease their player base that's already on thin ice to begin with. I don't even know what to do with this I'm a console player if I wanted to play on a computer I would be a PC player. So I'm just looking at this like it's a whole other language which sucks cuz I've been saving multiple bases for a while now. And that looks like Ark is literally punishing me for my dedication to the game cuz it looks like I'm not even going to get the stuff I've been rendering for months. This just makes me think I want a refund and to get rid of the game completely versus I would have at least had a few weeks left of joy exploring the server and other people's bases but not looks like Ark has taken that too. What is the point at this point they are literally messing up at every turn they went from over 50,000 views to less than 10,000 on the community crunches alone and they're about to lose the last 10,000 that are left. It's already bad enough that they have nothing for the new game now they're turning the old game into nothing but a money grab

  2. So they screwed console players entirely! And they purposely withheld the information about single player saves until the end, knowing it would further piss off console players. Still not understanding why console players can't save their official server content as an non-dedicated server. But i can accept that if true but seems to me this is a move to push people to their business partner (who they are in massive debt to) Nitrado. Think of the console players who have been keeping their maps and severs going assuming they'd be able to save the content. They could have been informed months ago and saved time and effort. This is why so many are walking away from Ark entirely and refusing to support Ark 1.5 aka ASA. You let the biggest fans of your game hang onto their console bases only to tell them they have no way of saving their content unless they continuously pay your business partner! If anyone still thinks this company is going to deliver a game worth playing by October I have some magic beans to sell you as well. If you want further proof of how wrong they are towards gamers keep in mind that this game that goes offline in just a short time and won't allow it's console community to keep it's saves outside of forking over more money....is still for sale at full price in the xbox store, with no warning about the servers going offline!!

  3. If there was a form of subscription the money would go to actual developers instead of some online traders/cheaters. That money could (read: SHOULD) be used to police servers to prevent these "trolls". The idea is not bad, it's just that WC sofar has proven not being able to support official servers to a standard that they can charge for it.

  4. I wonder if the game would be better if they could find a way to add an optional monthly fee somewhere. A constant but optional flow of money could motivated them to better maintain the game and police it. MMO have being doing this, its a good business model. Examples: * On official, ?$ per month so you're stuff doesn't decay. * in game purchase of something : maybe tek structures like walls, floors, ... * In game purchase of chibis or other cosmetics gear. The important thing is it should always be optional.

  5. I admit that the idea of transferring dino characters and so on to SP mode would be a solution. But then Nitrado won't earn WC/SG won't pay them back and you wouldn't even see ASA. It's sick that they want to lay the costs on us. Yes, everyone can pay Nitrado something, but not as much as now. This is probably not an encouraging offer for console owners

  6. Why no proper explanation of how to use the saves if you don't want to pay £20 per month in this crunch? Why have the saves been provided in such an bloated format? Legacy saves were far more manageable with far less needless 'fluff'. Could it possibly be to justify not providing console saves or discourage PC users to push people into renting? There are good tools and tips elsewhere on this forum to make the process less painful, why aren't you helping provide this info WC? And finally, why no facility to upload your tames and char at the obelisk and download into your local game? The least you could do for console players. Gaslighting much?

  8. From the very beginning I wrote that it is rather impossible to run SP saves on consoles. And I wasn't the only one who wrote about it. WC/SG have found a lucrative business, they dare to discriminate against us and charge us for a month of games on Nitrado where pc owners download their save and can play it on their own pc. This may already be a matter for the antimonopoly office and consumer protection. But you can only report it in the country where the toilet is located, i.e. the USA. I'll just wait until September 30th until ASE closes, throw it out of the console and forget about the GAME that could have potential and continue to develop. But the $$ lighted up for them and they wanted to earn a lot and quickly. A lot of friends have already left ASE and they don't want to hear anything about WC or ARK. Just like me. They will remove the servers, and me and my wife will be removed as players, so I understand that they do not want console players. So I also see no reason to buy 2x their next ASA or ARK2 products. Not after what they did by pushing the players text about SP on the console. They themselves knew that it was impossible, but they wrote such a fairy tale. This is already the basis for me to write and wash my eyes. With ASA it will be rather similar because it would still be WC/SG it would be different if someone else would buy ARK. Every day I am closer to saying goodbye to the ARK Community, it's sad that this day had to come after so many years of playing ASE.
