Why complain? there is literally no point in complaining. Calling them clowns isn't going to get them to do a better job. I'm probably the only one here who finds that the glitches make the game better, case in point the fish and other animals flying glitch, I use it all the time to get from point A to point B by letting them fly up between 2 ledges so i could get across. everyone should let them do what they want and if they decide to delay a DLC then so be it. they will eventually come out with the game. Roll with the flow and let them be. Yea I know that we are paying customers and we have a right to get what we payed for, but even with retail sellers like Amazon, they might have to delay something because of an unknown problem, but in the end we still get our product.

There is nothing wrong with the dev team, they have 45 overall employees, which mean they may have around only 30-35 actual game developers. that's only been an increase of 15-20 since they started. I don't think there is anything wrong with the dev team, its how many numbers they have. they are trying as hard as they can with what they have. look at some of the biggest game development companies in the world, some of them only release 2-3 games a year and have upwards of 500 devs. Also i had no problems with any of the maps, even though im on an old xbox

If you really hate the game this much then you do have the right to leave, you're not being held captive by the ark devs to paly their game, all they want to do is release content for their players and it may take longer then expected. I did use the word polished and that's kind of a bad word to use, what I meant was fixing as much as they could.

Now I'm not gonna be one of those people and say that you're wrong and only I am right. I can agree on this, Wildcard needs to give themselves more time for game development and QA testing. They shouldn't give an official release date until they know for certain that it wont change. From a business standpoint, I understand why they give a release date that wont be their actual release date. Its because they don't want to lose players by keeping them hyped for the release date just to have it be pushed back by unknown circumstances. That's one of their big problems. My suggestion is that they shouldn't give any sort of release date (either ever or until they have finished development and QA testing) as it would bring their rep up, I don't think people are exited about a release date, I think they are more exited for the content that would be released. I hope they can understand this when Ark 2 comes as it would put less stress onto them if they didn't try to give themselves a deadline that cant be met.

It hurts my brain

EXACTLY

What if they didn't know that the game needed to be delayed weeks ago, surprise bugs happen all the time during the final play tests (not even just on ark), they just want to make sure the game can actually be played when it launches

Its called maybe a surprise bug in the game, they try to be as nice to the average player as they can be, they just want to make a game that wont break upon launch (ok now saying that it probably will but even then, would you rather have the DLC come out on its intended time and not be able to run it OR would you have a game that got delayed and be able to run it when it comes out?)

but you're not management are you? If you fired every one of them then you would have nothing... absolutely nothing. Making a thoughtful judgment, I can guess that you aren't a game developer, you wouldn't know how to fix any sort of bug, you wouldn't know how to make a decent game. Even if you added a whole new cast of developers, they don't know Ark. They would make something that's just not ark, yea they could probably make a dinosaur related game but that's not what ark is. Ark is a fusion of survival and story (like the Forest). The hardest game to create in game development is a sandbox multiplayer survival game (aka Ark).

good luck on the spinal fusion my fellow survivor

putting off some real cro-magnon energy here

I find it really sad that people take time off work to play this game, not that the game is bad or anything (I enjoy playing this game). It's just sad that people would rather play games then work... you know... for money. also you're probably not a very fun person to be around seeing as you genuinely think that they hate their players enough to trick them into having time off of work then delaying it. they try as hard as they can to appease the community, It just takes time to fix certain problems, but judging you from your short paragraph you don't run a million dollar survival game and wouldn't understand the trouble of fixing bugs and working on patches for hacks.

It called polishing off the game. It's like you think that they want to delay the game. Also if they release it on its new date then it will release on its anniversary which means that it finishes off on the same date that it started.

Bruh, they are working extra hard to release this DLC, they are trying to make it extra special. Plus they are releasing it on Ark's anniversary (June 2), making it a perfect time to close the series off at the same time when it began. and they wont put the launch trailer out 2 weeks before it releases, cause then its not a launch trailer, its just a trailer. It wouldn't make sense to release a DLC pre launch trailer either cause it is 2 weeks away, usually you would release a DLC pre launch trailer months before the release.

probably not, and they don't really need to. Ark already has enough useful water creatures; soakers, travel, pack pule and damage. Ark needs more land (maybe air) balance, a counter to the tough dogs like gigas and manas, probably more pve helpers like the harvester stryder.

Do you reckon the Stryder is a neutral or aggressive tame? I reckon it would attack but its a federation created machine so I don't think it would attack random survivors. What I think is that its like the calico, they don't harm you unless you get in their way or try to tame them. They have their own motives and don't want small insignificant survivors to stop them from completing their motives (resource collection, Gen Ship defense, keeping peace by killing outliers). Now reading that last line sounds a bit f*cked. When you tame/hack a Stryder, it takes them away from doing the chores that they were programmed to complete and uphold, maybe even using them to do the opposite by disturbing the peace and sanctity of the Colony Ship.

I would imagine if Russia were the ones to develop ark, it would be something along those lines

nah its all good dude, it was just joke. if I was to give an actual suggestion, it would be support Ark 1 until every player either moves to ark 2 or quits. adding more dino's possibly (base game) or trying to improve it as much as possible.

Devs, here's my pitch idea. A nuclear program in ark. Full on nuclear warfare with ICBM's and Nuclear Fusion. maybe nukes that bombard entire bases with biohazard material. When Ark 1 is on its last leg, that should be the way it goes out, the Nukes and Missiles update.

I can barely download Minecraft mods and get them working on my pc, so I know that I'll definitely be able to hack a stryder

its not their choice. When the game wants an evo event, he game will give itself an evo event. The devs can only look on as the game thinks and acts for itself.

You go to the tickets page and slowly wither away into nothingness. then bingo bango bongo, you've successfully created a ticket

like a xenomorph but not

I would imagine it just be like the manticore though but not being as OP. It is also a tek looking creature so idk how a scorpion tail would work with that unless its just some pain syringe that f*cks people up

I don't think that the Voidwyrm will have a scorpion tail, also it is most likely to have a "cool ability" seeing as its a DLC creature from a paid for DLC, think of 1 creature that from a paid for DLC that doesn't have a cool ability (or perk, example being the mantis being able to hold weapons/tools) that sets it apart from the rest of arks animals. Even some non paid for DLC animals have cool abilities (Deino, Trope, Griff). Maybe every DLC exclusive aminal has a cool ability?
