Just shoot it with a shotgun

We all know it will take them ages to add Nvidia framegen back to the game and get upscaling working. In the meantime, my performance tanked. And all of aberration is a laser lightshow of flashing colors/shadows.

Yea it sucks. Consoles get an 80% improvement and I get worse FPS by a country mile because there is no upscaling or DLSS framegen. What a joke. Thanks for downgrading me Wildcard.

This is the paragraph: " • single player. (I like taking breaks from ark and not losing my tames, I can’t do that on a server because of decay times but single player is neglected.) you can’t transfer without being kicked from your own tribe, you can’t play with someone else unless they follow your player character around. It needs some tlc." Seems to be talking about Single Player to me.

I am confused. Did you complain that in single player you can't play with someone else?

To be fair, a lot of cheating happens on official, too.

No, modded.

You don't have to buy anything. It is your choice to. Or not. And again, as I noted, no one lied to you about anything. I will keep coming back to this point because it is a core feature of the complaints in this thread. Buying a DLC that is optional does not mean that the Center is not free. You are objectively wrong. No one lied. And not being able to log in because the server is full does not mean you did not get what you paid for. Wildcard hid nothing from you, so my analogy works great. They told you in advance they were going to have paid DLC and additional story content you could choose to buy. Not paying attention is a you problem. There is no honest conversation to be had here. It's people going "LOL WILDCARD LIED PAY2WIN SNAIl eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil" for daring to have paid DLC. Like people work for free or something. PVP in ark has always been a joke. It's virtually unplayable due to the massive cheating and no-life requirements. Given it is isn't even an esport, there is little to care about. There is nothing pay to win about the wild west DLC lol. The cat is mediocre and has some novel utility that will be ignored a year from now once the novelty wears off and it's gone through rounds of nerfs, just like every DLC map creature.

This creature won't make you that good. IF you suck at PVP, you will still suck at PVP, only with a fire cat. It's already getting nerfed anyway. If this were a serious competitive esport, there would be some grounds for actual concern, but it is not. People have made the argument that everything is OP every DLC expansion in ARk's history. Every. Single. Time. It's a canard.

The vast majority of people don't play official pvp. Official is a drop in the bucket and of official PVP is about half. Not much in the end. No, ark is not a competitive pvp game. It's like singing karaoke and thinking you are a kpop star. It has no professional league. There are no major sponsored games or tournaments. tt is some kinds doing amateur hour stuff, crying about everything being OP while literally cheating most of time. World of Warcraft has a more serious, legitimate pvp and professional esport community and that's not that serious either. If you are too poor to buy it, just say so. That doesn't mean wildcard lied to you.

So you are mad that you aren't able to get on because servers are full, not that the pyromane exists. Or that wildcard lied. These are two separate issues and we probably shouldn't conflate them. You got what you paid for because you own the DLC and the DLC is exactly as advertised. ERgo, wildcard did not lie. The center came free of additional charge with ASA, just as wildcard promised. Ergo, wildcard did not lie. I omitted the part about the shoulder pet because you can do all the caves without a shoulder pet as is. Nothing is required, must have, or progression blocking if you don't have the pyromane. We just got done doing two maps without them. And if you look at the latest patch notes, wildcard is already rolling out nerfs. Don't worry. It won't be amazing that long because of all the whining. Then ya'll can switch to complaining that your new toy got nerfed after you paid for it. Lose-Lose situation. And for the majority of the population that doesn't play on official, you could always use cryopods in caves. The magic of an unofficial server. The solution to most everyone's problem is stop playing official. It's always sucked. Rent a server. Play on the myriad of major server clusters like GamersGuild (arkitects), Monarky, etc. Your life will improve measurably. I promise.

OP is meaningless since this isn't a competitive game. The vast majority of people play on unofficial servers with boosted rates and mods. Official is a drop in the bucket. PVP is a non-issue because it's so rife with cheating that this creature pales in comparison to the problems that already plague PVP. And given there is no prize for "winning" in ARK, as it is not an e-sport, winning means nothing. When ARK gets an "ARK LEAGUE" pro scene, then it will matter. You listed 8 things about the Pyromane. Most of them can be countered with a "so what?" and little else. 1. Poop is super fertilizer? OKay so what? Fertilizer is trivial to get already, and this is marginally better. 2. Fire bypasses wyvern fire immunity? Okay? So? 3. Fire bypasses natural armor? Okay. What exactly has natural armor? Shadowmane? Those don't exist yet, and people moaned that natural armor was too god. Now you are complaining that counters to it is op? 4. Massive heat resistance? Okay. Good thing scorched earth is not the only map that exists right? Who cares, moreover, if people have high heat resist? 5. Cooks meat and makes jerky? So do grills and preserving bins, which are infinitely easier to get. 6. Acts as a fuel for torches? and campfire? GAMEBREAKING!!!!!!! 11eleventy11 There is nothing to win. YOu don't need this creature. You will be fine. Life goes on. However, since you deflected from the counterpoint, I will reiterate. No, the pyromane does not mean Wildcard lied, as you said. That's objectively false. Center and all maps are still free. They never said additional optional DLC would be free. Getting mad at something that was never said doesn't mean they lied.

No, there really isn't a difference because A requires B, whereas A is a creature/tech you don't have and B is money to access it. ASE was exactly the same. There is functionally no difference in owning a map that grants ou an OP creature and everyone owning a map but having to buy another DLC. You are creating an artificial difference so you can remedy the imaginary conundrum. There also is no marketing lie. You're just wrong. The maps indeed free. You choosing to buy an optional addition and something unrelated you can use on said map does not mean center is not free. By this logic, if I offer you a free coke but you can choose to buy a better cup, the coke is not free. It is free by virtue of you getting X for no additional money regardless of any optional expenditure. Your distinction is gibberish and your argument is pathetically bad. Crying about pay to win in a game that has no esport league, no cash prizes, and no actual thing to win is comical. Moreso when you factor in cheating is rife and more effective than any creature. Even if a creature is powerful at launch, it is 100% nerfed in every instance shortly after, rendering it not OP. Wildard is bad at balance. Every map release has had a new OP creature the PVP babies complained about. Managarmr, Shadowmane, Mek, etc. Everything got nerfed into oblivion.

No, you really don't. You come off as whiny and entitled. Your argument about pay to win is nonsensical itself. That is the real trash argument.

For some strange reason you can't build anywhere in the underworld on center. Except directly on pillars of rock going to the ceiling.
