Exactly, well said. Also I still refuse to play it, even though someone literally gifted it to me for free trying to persuade me! I'm sticking to running an ASE cluster that mimics Official. If I do go to ASA, it won't be for a long long time and all maps are out and perhaps bugs/kinks are sorted out (unless I decide to pop in and get all notes and that's it, before more map releases. Haven't decided).

PC ain't couch friendly lol jkjk

Simple, really. Just like with cryopods, it's the act of taking away something long enough to "build hype". So when it's finally released again, they can re-market it as "amazing brand new feature(s)!" and people won't bat an eye.

Everyone knew this would happen. Why are people acting so surprised? Were you actually expecting something different? You pays ya money ya takes ya chances. Those who were smart knew not to bother with it in the first place until they sort it all out. Especially if it's just another "test" (basically Game Preview again). I'm not defending the company, but I knew what was coming. It's your own fault.

Were you actually expecting something different?

What system are you on? I know you can just block their Gamertag/ID on Xbox, PS, and Steam. Does ASA not have the option to show their ID in chat like ASE does?

Yes. Most of the game is PvE, the only difference that makes it PvP is you can attack others and be attacked. I still believe it's "middle ground" between the two. Basically, being offline with orp is practically making your base PvE setting. Sweaty PvPers will just camp until you log in or kite stuff to your base like PvE anyway heh. Or use ORP to make structures invincible using multiple accounts. Trust me, I get it though. I do hope they change their mind and give you all the ORP servers you are asking for. I've never heard of ORP being a thing on PvP servers before, so naturally it does seem intriguing if I ever decide to step out of the safety of PvE waters. One of the main fears of PvP for us PvEers is logging in and all of our stuff is gone. Hence middle ground. I upvoted.

So let me get this straight, you all are basically asking for PvE on PvP servers? Because you don't have time to play PvP the way it's meant? Save yourself the hassle and stress, rip the band-aid off and come to the PvE dark side lol. I heard ASA let's you set up tribe wars like ASE used to do? There's your PvP Idk, perhaps I just don't get it. I'm not on ASA nor PvP though so I don't know how bad it is other than all of the consistent horror stories. Not here to dismiss your idea, just trying to understand (that and I keep getting notifications for this post even though I wasn't following it lol). Is it the fact you still want "occasional" PvP when you are logged on? Edit: So basically a middle ground between PvP and PvE? Happy Arking!

That is because they said there is "no point" in making Console-Only PvE servers (even though they kind-of promised after deleting our ASE Official ones), as if PC cheaters don't also cheat on PvE lol. It is still cheating to skip progression on character, breeding, etc. Also hacks where they can grief you and/or get your base destroyed. Macros/Programs to cheat with Boss kills/farming. A lot of people really don't want to play with PC (and they mean it)!!! I'm not on ASA, but I have observed all of the nightmare stories, especially with pillars. I can only imagine there being Tek Pillars within the first week from cheaters that probably won't ever decay. Doesn't seem fair.

Dunno, I've never had an issue with it. Used to feed my baby dinos even from the bar all the time. I wouldn't recommend trying to do anything major, however.

If the Xbox is turned on, you can stream it from anywhere with remote play using the Xbox app, as long as you have WiFi.

Can't you just use remote play on the Xbox App for that? It should work.

No. It was a announced from the very beginning that it is Next-Gen (Series X/S) only.

Sure, cancel the event that is primarily for donating to children's charities because you can't get or enjoy your bonus XP rates.....

Don't worry, they deleted ASE Official servers to make room for the ASA ones remember! As for discord... It's been a ****show for a while. Constant spam of angry customers (even with a timer preventing people from writing again for 10+ minutes).

I guess can't really tell if there's nothing to compare to. But all of the disgruntled players that aren't bothering with ASA now (on any platform) or at all (after the shenanigans, long waits/delays, removing Official, etc.), cutting off old Gen, massive exodus/hatred in Discord, Facebook ragequitters, death threats givers, and whatever else shows extreme boycotting... It's safe to say a large quantity of the playerbase for ASA has been lost. I, myself, have no plans on getting ASA and am remaining on ASE.

What do you mean? They already did...

Idk, one would think Sony would get pissed if they are lying and putting blame on it being "PS Certification" causing the delay. Sounds like lawsuit material.

Rechargeable Batteries, Battery Packs, Plug USB-C cord into it (also charges the rechargeables)... All works. Or, Elite/2 controller works with no batteries you plug it in to charge (or keep plugged in). There's also old fashioned wired controllers you can get heh. For years I just had replacement rechargeable batteries nearby for super quick swapping until I got Elite 2 (in which also can be charged wirelessly. Fancy lol).

Yeah, a game that wasn't even needed lol

My mistake, it was the Rag one I was referring to. The dossier says it supposedly looks after and tends to baby dinos, so it possibly might work like a Maewing. Idk though.

Also SE is when y'all get the "replacement" Maewing raptor for QoL XD

Yeah I know the feeling, I myself had to up and migrate everything completely twice before I finally gave up after my stuff eventually decayed. After that, I only migrated my character to "safe" servers and after slowly transitioning/surpassing my legacy character on the new Official heh. That's also why I don't like the idea of ASA not keeping the Official servers around to do the same transition. But ah well, I got the Official servers up and running in a cluster now XD Perhaps someday I'll transition over... But also only once I find out if they are going to sunset ASA servers the same way after it leaves early access...

They actually never shut them all down, there were many still around until the end. Even highly populated still! I was able to log into my legacy character (still there) about 2 months ago.

Hah, maybe. But definitely not until all of the DLC is out, most of the bugs sorted, and many already "caught up" to how it was. Also I'd probably like to be able to slowly transition over same way I did with Legacy to Official. If I ever even trust Official servers to not get shut down AGAIN heh.
