No 3x for Christmas, forgetting to update the game so PS4 players can't celebrate your horrendous Christmas event, not even giving the Primitive Plus players an event at all, and making a whole "new" game instead of finishing the game you've started..Yeah..
Happy raptoring Holidays guys.
Here's some advice, @Jen . Your whole team? Needs to forget Ark 2. *cough* Atlas. *cough* You NEED to finish your GAME, before you EVEN THINK about making ANOTHER GAME. Ark Survival Evolved is a gem, and not because of you. It's a gem only because of it's POTENTIAL: What it COULD be. It would be worlds better if another company made Ark instead of you guys. Imagine what Ark could reeaally be, if you ATTEMPTED to fix what's wrong with it. Imagine what it could really be if you listened to your community when they're screaming at you. Forget Atlas, refund all who paid for your pathetic scam, and stick with Ark to the end until it's finished! It plays like it's early access! "Early access game filled with bugs? Let's slap sixty dollars on it!" Just take a moment to imagine if you really put some heart into this game. We all play this infuriating thing, because we know it has the potential to be amazing. We're just desperately waiting for your team to take CHARGE and DO SOMETHING WITH IT.
So I advise you to hire some new people, get some new perspectives in that stuffy office of yours, get some new blood! I imagine you could afford it with all of the expensive bullpoop you throw at your community. Your players are losing respect for you everyday. It will bite you in the ass, just heedlessly throwing new content at our heads instead of fixing what you have.
You won't heed any of this. You'll simply shove it aside and refuse to acknowledge that your players are right. Don't get me wrong, your team has done wonderful things and fixes. Ark as of now, is slllllooowwwlllyyy getting somewhere. However, for it to continue progressing, you need to STOP and SLOW DOWN. A lot of us are still in love with the primitive side of Ark. You really need to calm down with rushing your futuristic ideas. The future is great, but we play this and we love this for the past.
So do some more TLCs instead of maps or "new games". Add more furniture! (It's a travesty that taxidermy can only be learned on one raptoring map, instead of being a base game item) Implement those game modes you advertised and never added! Survival of the Fittest, Primal, etc. Give some love to the dinos. These dinos are what made us play to begin with, not these overblown meks. Pay attention and soak in the details. Look at what you have already, and think; "How can we make this better?" I'm not asking you to build Rome overnight, just start. Better than never. Let us know that our cries are not going unheard.
Go back to when you first fell in love with the idea of dinosaurs in the wild world, before we tamed it.
I just needed to vent this. I know you won't listen to any of it, but it feels good to get out.
