    That individual literally goes around all posts and harasses every person that has the misfortune of having their comments being read by him. Including myself numerous times. He’s very toxic. But he will get promoted to a moderator so what can you do. ??‍♂️  .    

    But as far as the post goes, I hope that when the structure timers are enabled again that  nobody loses half of their land and base because of some error. I will be resetting timers on everything but scary to think that something could happen. Wouldn’t be the 1st time something catastrophic has happened. 

    That's not toxic man. Youve even been to destiny forums? That

    That's toxic

    Speaking as a big console gamer, it's probably better to invest in a gaming PC, or a service like Shadow. Console games are not known for great mod support since mods are 1) third party and 2) would have to go through the console certification process.

    What's "Shadow"?

    There's some good feedback here.  There are lots of challenges and hurdles with console development in regards to mods.  All of the current modders who had their mod chosen for console (including myself) can attest to that.  It's a huge undertaking.  It's why you don't see hundreds of mods for consoles.  When we bring mods to console, it's always a partnership that requires work on our and the modders.

    In regards to sharing what we have planned, I've talked about this before but we don't announce things too far out now.  It's a mistake we've made in the past.  Take Primal Survival, it was an idea we had at one point.  For many reasons, it was something we can't do.  To this day, people will demand we bring it back because we promised that content.  We try to avoid these type of things by announcing things too far out before they can be finalized.

    Rest assured, we intend to bring more mod content to console and will announce details once they are more finalized.

    This answer pleases my soul

    Yeah well with no roadmap for future development the console community will die off without content. So if they can't give console mods then they better be moving towards something soon or it won't matter. Even being able to edit the ini has gotten stale.

    Adding to that, they'd make so much more money by adding stuff to console. How do you get money? Hmm....oh yeah, make stuff! New stuff!

    How about fixing server performance FOR REAL this time? Optimization does not exist in ARK since the beginning, but after the Homestead update, this game is annoying as hell.

    I previously play on Lagnarok and I had to move to another map because of lags and fatal errors. Then I moved to The Center and it was much better, which is understandable - this map is way smaller and little less complex (more water instead of landmass). I was glad then. But Wildcard decided to screw things up a bit and released a sloppy copy of Structures Plus called "Homestead". And FPS on my server dropped dramatically.

    But hey, after some time WC released another useless update with ugly dinos and pathetic skins, which ruined S+ Wood Railings and lowered server performance even more. Now I have to deal with textureless S+ railings, because those made by Wildcard look MUCH worse. Not to mention random and often FPS drops together with rubberbanding and being reversed thirty meters while running from Rex, basically teleported just under his nose. I barely survived East Lava Cave on no-tame The Center because of lags. I had to prepare three times more grappling hooks in case of being teleported down while trying to jump onto the cliff.

    What happened to Raptors as well? They're now slower than sprinting human? Did you screwed something during Managarmr nerfing process? I wouldn't be surprised, as you managed to destroy all vaults and characters while trying to release a "fix" few weeks ago.

    I don't know how you do it and how messy is your game code, but I'm considering leaving ARK after almost 2,000 hours played because of your bungling. This is nearly unplayable and because you lack of priorities, it's getting worse with every update. People are waiting for weeks for their chars being restored, but you are focused on Marshmallow Dino Hat being unable to make in the cooking pot. Well done...

    I don't even hope that you fix your game one day - it's no longer possible to save. ARK 2? Maybe when created from scratch... and by completely separate studio, because Wildcard is incompetent enough to maintain its own game. Sad. I'm glad that I bought ARK when it was in an early beta and cheap. Now it is still in beta and is expensive in addition. You won't smell any of my money anymore, Wildcard.

    I hope you are not preparing another "fix" for a fix of a fix for previous fix, because I'm scared that one day my whole house on The Center will collapse because of your improvements.

    No regards.

    Chill your tits

    You said you are working on meshing? Not nearly as much as you should be. You might have put a handful of hours into fixing it, maybe even days. It takes MONTHS to build up in official only to have someone mesh you in an hour. So however much work you have put into fixing it is incomparable to the collective loss of those effected by meshing. I submitted a ticket 2 and a half weeks ago and it still has no reply. But hey, at least you are a company that is consistantly bad at everything!

    Don't play on official. Problem solved.

    See thats where my situation comes in, im a singleplayer guy, theres bugs they fixed on their official that they are letting rot for SP and unofficial/dedi.  Ever since the tek cave released the skylord artifact along with all the crates refuse to spawn in the NW cave on island.  So you either cheat or the whole endgame is ruined for you.  It really pisses me off they fixed it only for their official servers.  Im ps4 btw.  Ya the flier nerf was hard, but partly needed, i think they took it way to far tho, a speed cap would of been better then a complete lock.  I too feel bad for switch, from what i hear abstract is guns ready to give switch more love but wc refuses to give them the ok.

    Dont get me wrong, i love the holiday events, i just dont think its cool to destroy so many players characters and then have new limited time content when players arnt really able to take full advantage of it with trying to regain lost ground or eventually scraping their new stuff when they regain their old character, if they ever do.  A postpone might of been a better choice for the easter event.  My beef was with the actual patching, as always i see basically nothing being done thats visually obvious to me.  Really the only thing that actually effects me is manas suck even more now.  Im thinking to myself, maybe its a good thing i never tamed 1 of these and do i even want to anymore?  I feel like the dragon i actually bought should be better then the free 1s, especially when the pay to have 1 is THE ENDGAME dragon, and the endgame tame of the endgame map.

    Tek was highly disappointing til extinction.  It wasnt upgradable so even chitin could easily out do tek before.  Now on extinction ONLY, you can get upgraded versions, finally making it the endgame armor and weapons, though they forgot the shield in the loot tables XD.

    The mobile version irritates the crap outta me, it obviously has to be scaled down and yet they add new stuff to it that i wish we had.  A special griffin that we dont have as well as the fact they can breed em...Thats so uncool wc...I want mutated griffins...With imprint.  Btw, your alright, i enjoy talking to you.

    See, I wouldn't know your struggles bc I got back and joined a server and was briefed and the admins and people were kind enough to give me help and starter tames. It bothers me that you can't transfer element and if you do convert it, the rate of what you get back is less than what you get from earning. I wish I had a PS4. Sadly I have an Xbox. This game just has potential and I hope it strives because I do like it very much. 

    I only came off like that because people are raging about things in a way that seems, well, a bit outrageous. Like saying they're raptoring incompetent, poopty losers, etc

     Like, I get it but cmon. It's a game.

    But yeah, I did single player for a while but I didn't like the fact I was admin, and I could cheat anything I wanted. So I went to unofficial

    Too bad your on PS4, if you had an Xbox I'd add you.?

    Oh ya it is lol.  But yes, i have noticed more effort on their part recently.  They do seem a lil to preoccupied with trivial stuff though, like does the dragon of extinction really need nerfed even more?...Especially when that horrid ascension glitch with rockwell is still going on.  You lose your ascending character, all your notes and map discoveries for all your maps, your ingame rewards(skins and trophy rewards), your ab tribe so you lose your base and tames...Considering the main objective of ab is to ascend, it kinda destroys the purpose of ab and everything you do on it.  It also breaks the lore based story(sad since it has basically no story and what lil plot it has is broken by this).  Its pretty obvious this should be a priority and it seems they are ignoring it.  Whats worse theyve already fixed this same bug with the tek cave ascension a year ago.  They couldnt be bothered to make sure they didnt repeat it or just implement a slightly altered version of their previous fix...I mean someone(multiple 1s) need slapped, "what was that for", for being an idiot.  They are being kind to our face sure, behind our backs theyre being d heads.  Or at least they were, they have shown improvement since the team switched around.  Im waiting for the next patch before i deem them as worthless as the last team.  The QoL fixes they made with the land whistle and not having to wander to mate is kiss worthy XD.  Then they got right on the getting stuck on rocks and floors bug and fixed it, so they do deserve some credit for effort recently though this current patch seemed kinda pointless(the nerf/fixing part).  All in all im hopeful and willing to give em a new chance.

    See when I came back everything, was a mystery to me. Ascending, Tek, new bosses, new map creatures, new drops. Even Nitrado. A single Xbox was only the way to play. I did have a person that was a friend of a friend who hosted his other Xbox as a dedicated server. But he decided to wipe us all and give it to his wife without really letting us know so that's why I stopped

    I really never had an issue with bugs when it came to ark. When I heard they took away movement speed to Dinos, I was kinda like "ummm okay.." I've honestly enjoy the event. I just wish they didn't expand to all consoles. Even mobile before addressing the problems they currently face. I do hope they give PS4,Xbox and switch more content though. I don't play on official so it hasn't been that bad for me. Official suffers more problems than un official. People should find a a good server imo

    Read my post few pages earlier. This whole update is not necessary in a moment like that - peoples' vaults have been destroyed, characters are lost, dinos are starving, tickets are being ignored and what Wildcard does? Release a "patch" with ugly-colored dinos, eggs and skins, which is full of new bugs and basically people can't even "enjoy" it, because are still waiting for their chars to be restored.

    Sorry, man, but I know a little bit about programming and coding, because I'm creating my own game, and I can't understand the mess in ARK's code. Where are unit tests? Why releasing one "fix" is always related to new glitches? I can imagine millions lines of a code which is so messed that it's not hard to break something. Hey, players, grab some egg-hats for your dinos! Oh, wait, we screwed something with S+ Wooden Railings... Sheeeiiit, not again...

    They've tried to "improve servers' performance" as well few patches ago, when Homestead was released. And what happened? FPS dropped, rubberbanding, lags, random fatal errors, even when you try to move tons of item from your inventory using "T" key, you must now wait, because it's lagging... That's unacceptable. This game is unstable enough without WC trying to "fix server performance", really...

    I hope you understand my point now. Wildcard has no priorities. Lost characters and destroyed precious vaults? Wait a sec, our Eggcellent patch is almost ready! Come on... And again, a question of optimization. Such thing with few bug fixes (and lots new glitches), some skins and Bunny Dodos is literally 700 Mbs to download. Really? My whole ARK folder is almost 180 Gbs now, and I have only two maps (The Center, Ragnarok) if not counting vanilla Island. And now another seven hundreds megabytes for some skins and easter eggs?? Oh boi...

    This game is dying, unfortunately. I've spent 1,800+ hours in ARK and I've had enough of Wildcard's incompetence and lack of priorities. They choked with money and are showing us a middle finger right now. "Thanks for your money, enjoy amazing Eggcellent Adventure with your lvl 1 character, because... well... your maxed avatar is lost now. Sorry! Your WC team."

    Enough.

    And that's why I didn't stick around. I took a break and came back to the game only a month ago. I'm assuming you play on PC. I'm surprised people haven't made a mod that fixes a bunch of their poop. Regardless it is there's to fix, I've seen bug mod fixes before on other games. I can't say I'm done with the game though. I still enjoy it but there's no doubt they need to get their poop fixed

    Indeed, a lot of people do gripe over small details.  I can understand frustrations boiling though.  Its like when you have a bunch off real problem because of jerkoffs and then some store clerk smarts off to you for no reason and you just flip on him.  Was it important, no, was it the last straw because of some careless d head, yes lol.  Wc is super careless and they F sith us by doing so.  So, they still deserve crap thrown at them because they throw it at us.  Now idk the picture your talking about, i was just agreeing their coding is crap and the likelihood of it actually being the color coding screwing up the s+ which with all the extra coding they actually did its more likely not the color coding.  Back on to how people keep coming back, i think its because theres nothing like ark, even with all the bugs its still amazing.  The bugs being unaddressed simply because they dont seem to care though is unacceptable.  Theyve had more then enough time to address old game breaking bugs.  They just dont, and  they wont until we kick em in their rears enough times to motivate them.  Thus people cursing em out.  We support the game and want it to be better, we do the only thing thats available that they seem to somewhat listen to.

    Its a sad fact because now that I know the devs have done some stupid poop for money. I've been around since launch. Took a hiatus around schorched. I'm hoping they can better themselves. I really do. They might deserve the poop their getting right now but it doesn't need to last. 

    Be professional

    Be kind

    That's the steps I see their taking

    In regards to restoring chars

    They're offering an alt to people and their still loosing their poop. Something is better than nothing. And it's not like their deleting all (said persons) tame. I'm not here to fight with your statement. I agree with what you're saying.

    Also forum autocorrect is funny
