You literally pray. Every time I transfer stuff to the server I hold my breath during a server save. I've lost countless stuff from rollbacks, hours of grinding to trade and then lose it instantly. Also, 2 hours is optimistic, sometimes these servers go down for days. It really is amazing how badly these servers are broken.

994 has been "down" for 17 hours. It shows 10 people online, no one can actually connect to the server, you get timeout errors every time. I've probably submitted 10 server outage forms. The 10 people its showing online on battlemetrics are clearly stuck in limbo, it shows all 10 have been on for 18 hours straight. I am so done with these servers, this game. This game has been out since 2015, 8 YEARS and we can't have a working product. 8 YEARS.

Clearly at this stage of "development", there are root problems that either can not or will not be fixed. We paid for a product, we should be able to recieve the full benefits of said product we invensted in. Events should be extended for the total amount of downtime during an event period that servers are down. You shouldn't have to miss out because you got unlucky on which server you picked to have your main base on. When you fear of losing event dino's, drops or just pure grinding you've done due to rollbacks, it makes this game unplayable at times. I took a long break from this a few months after gen 2 released, hoping servers would finally be stable and they clearly are not. If we can't trust ark 1 servers, what gives people confidence in buying ark 2 and recieving a stable online experience in return?
