I know this is a bit confrontational, but it really looks like you started this thread just to prompt a discussion that you could follow up on with negative comments regarding the game/developer.  

I'm falling right into your trap, but I'm going to say it anyway.

if it's not fun, then don't play.  simple as that.  move on to another game you enjoy more.

if you don't feel it's worth it to buy the new version, then you don't have to.

I however am excited that they are re-releasing the game on a newer engine.  there are two benefits for me.

first, I believe that it will prolong the life of the game.  all games have an ending of life where the number of players reaches a point where so few people play it that it can no longer be viewed as a multi-player game.  by releasing it on an updated graphics engine I feel it will prolong that inevitable date.  some people may choose to not pay for the upgrade and there's nothing wrong with that.  others will.

secondly I'm sure that there will be some quality of life improvements in the new version.  probably some bug fixes.  sure, maybe they won't fix them all.  at the end of hte day it's the same game and won't change too dramatically, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Oh I don't play it lol. It had the chance to be GOTY But it got screwed up so bad. Great game Idea. Horrible Execution of the game itself.

I want them to make the pvp aspect fun again. No one has fun when there's a aimbot that can turn off your generator's, and go through the mesh. You get banned even mentioning it, in order for ark to thrive it needs to: 

Hopefully fix the "Mesh" part of ark for good.

Fix the Cheater situation.

Yeah yeah, I know you can't fix all cheaters. But the way it is now, almost every server you could join (At least when the servers were still active) I guarantee more than half of whatever server pop was, used a third party exploit of some sort. 

They constantly made the game unbalanced with crazy dino's and such. I would love the new engine of ark to fix MOST of these issues. I will be checking it out upon release..Which is when anyway?

They're not actually going to fix it. It's fundamentally going to be the same game, ported to UE5, reskinned with some different graphics. Don't be fooled by WC's marketing nonsense, they're not any more focused on fixing anything than they have ever been.

If you really want to see what WC has said, rather than what other people are saying about them, most of what they're claiming is contained in the Community Crunches.

Eh, that's what I feared. Ark hasn't been fun since 2016 lol.

Ark 1 is getting a remaster in the form of ark ascended. You will have to pay for it as it will be a remaster in unreal engine 5 of all the current dlcs with some additional ones aswell I think.

Leave it to WC to fix their own game and then make you pay for it. Seems kinda silly. I suppose it's fair...Is there a release date on that?

Been out of the loop since about march of last year. Is ark 1 getting a new engine, do you have to pay for it, and when is it coming out?

Hey, Server 55 is down completely, for 7 hours now. Anyone experiencing this?
