To be fair, this already did happen in ASE quite often. I stopped wondering why, just seeking a way to make it work. Going near it with another dino is often a solution but even after regaining control it might wander off a bit when dismounting. Just mounting/dismounting a few times, get it on and off following by whistling or manual, checking tamegroups and eventualy it might get back to normal obedience eventualy.
Or take off towards 50/50...

ARK dino's, almost like real life kids

Stop yelling at a small team of people with limited resources and funds. Jeez. You knew what you were signing up for a second time round 🙄

 

I highly doubt a single screecher knows a thing about designing a game and/or map.

Ok... I agree about ignoring the childish screechers.
That being said: What about the well argumented opinions about failed deadlines and false advertisements?

Oh, and who is that small team with limmited resources and funds?
WC had a good idea with ARK but a bad attitude with contracts so they fled in the arms of Snail to pay off the lawsuits. No one forced them to go that way but WC's founders. Snail abused all resources in game as well as in company and sold out to Nitrado. Again, no one forced them to do so but their own greedy merits.
The core team might be not the largest in the world but the resources abused and wasted were HUGE.

Oh, anyone mentioned their failing customer support?
Nevermind, I need that copium you got while starting up another round of unofficial ASE and just have fun.

ASE didnt last because of mods, what kinda lonely singleplayer pve mindset is that

Wannabee alpha PvP player I presume?
Get off your high horse, on this matter there's not much difference between PvP ot PvE.

youre the joke lol

the reason they are pushing mods is because 1, they were forced to release early by nitrado and have to give us something to have fun with until they can smooth things out

2, ASE only lasted as long as it did because of mods

According to your logic, ASE should have died on consoles long ago. As we speak there are more people (still or again) playing ASE on console than there are ASA players.

Also, no one forced that deal with Nitrado at gunpoint so they choose to dedicate themselves to that deadline.

If indeed they cared about s having fun until they were realy ready they should never had announced the end of ASE servers until ASA was up and running so our choice would show them wich of the 2 we realy wanted.
That way my old official tribe and alliance would still have been playing today and even considdered to switch to ASA but now it was just killed.

GTA trilogy still wants the rain back they put in to ASE 😝

To be fair they've prooven to handle down ports (like ASE to Switch) pretty decent but still not sure how well they handle full scale projects as they completely wrecked the initial GTA trilogy.

Can't someone who post here just accept what he gets with this game?

go develop it if you re not happy lol

So if you go out for dinner and you'll get served crap, you gonna start your own restaurant?

Grow up, the issues are not about "not being happy with what we get" but about broken promisses, missed deadlines and not (timely) responding to tickets..

With my post the average total post of posters will be 3x, as used to be the standard for events.

For all the "Early Birds": If you are tired of all the bugs, there's ASE. Try it, it's more fun.

Seriously , this forum is filled with a bunch of spoiled rotten adults that try to complain to get what they want. Does no good and the Dev's do a great job at shutting this toxicity out.

Adult life: Announce scedule and stick to it, get angry customers if you fail a deadline or do not deliver as promissed.

Grow up, stop wining and do as you prommised. Nothing toxic about reminding them.

Quick question: Will the patch notes here on survivetheark.com be updated at all? I personally don't use the Ark Discord (I've heard how toxic it gets) and was curious if there might be anywhere else I can find those notes.

Thank you many-much.

Personaly I think they kind of abandoned that page, it was always poorly updated but it is days behind on their twitter farts.

"Afternoon PST"
So they have roughly half a day from now to announce the next delay.

Shouldn't the event (and any future ones) be called 'Love Ascended' instead of Evolved?

Nah, copy/paste is easier for devs.

ARK used to be in the top 20 on Steam but ASA is falling out of the top 100 every now and then lately while ASE managed to stay in the top 50 most of the time.

Check if your screen is automaticly adjusting size, some tv's tend to stretch to get rid of black bars.

Fix sensor chat in Xbox, cannot type lol, and many more things that don’t even make sense to be censored. As this game especially on official server , communication is needed for trades, working together on bosses and etc, unable to communicate properly with people without being fully censored even without any cuss words. this should be a priority.

This one is out of WC reach but very easy to solve: Get Steam and a PC or PS5.

Funny to see how the goalposts have been shifted from the "free UE5 patch" we were talking about last year...

How on earth did that managed to escape you?

ehhh not exacty, for example in ASE I didn't have Genesis and therefore I didn't have access to Strider and I found myself in situations where I went to some places to collect something specific (for example the Fjordur cave for NonameVenom) and while I was picking the first node here a Strider passed over me which completely ruined my journey, in the time in which I had collected 2 poisons that Straider had cleaned the entire cave. Is it pay2win? I couldn't classify it..

If we want to give a PVP example, without Genesis (worse if I only had Ark with only TheIsland) I wouldn't have access to Shadowmane-Astrodelphis-Astrocetus-etc. and also to some structures like Ammobox etc.. is it pay2win? maybe..

In ASA the maps and their resources/dinos will be accessible to everyone in the same way, but when a new map is released that I might not want to buy but that map contains some animals or weapons OP and you buy that DLC you are paying2win ?

Between you and me, I think that in Ark this concept is a bit controversial to judge, in PVE I can enjoy the game to the full even without purchasing any package that would create advantages so in my opinion I would completely exclude PVE from this discussion , while in PVP I don't think we can talk about P2W until we can buy something like "temporary immortality" "paid protections" "statistical advantages" etc. etc. that can put any player in a situation not accessible to the opponent without having to pay in turn just to get on par, the addition of Dinos/objects/weapons/resources via a new map is almost at the limit of the concept but each of those However, things can be obtained by anyone who is capable of conquering them through beaten or defeated opponents (therefore through your skill and without a payment behind you) they are not advantages that can be obtained exclusively through payment.

All of this is obviously just my personal opinion.

Yup, all very valid points wich I also often mentioned in the past, my comment was more on the ASA situation and the old DLC's are included so far.
I also kind of mellowed on that for ASE since I got friendly tribes providing me with striders, maewings, incubators and shadowmane breeding left-overs until I finaly paid to win myself into Genesis just before Lost Island dropped... In my defense: My partner made me buy it, I agreed on condition I was allowed to also buy Mad Max or Metro Exodus or something like that. Not a bad deal, right?

In my opinion PvE and PvP can be judged same: On PvE shadowmanes were used to push people off platforms to rob their bags when drowned or killed by wilds, spacewhales were used to bluescreen people to drown them or just simply bully them away from the server. PvE has more naughty trolls than PvP since many PvE players are easy victems that don't know how to deal with unseen enemies while honest PvP gives more options to get even.

But back on topic: This new system is a new level of P2W, the packs are no longer cosmetic only like the tek skins on ASE. I'll wait till the "definitive final complete edition" with all skins, dlc's, adventure packs and bug fixes. That will most likely be included in Gamepass for PS7.
