By not showing the name of player who killed you with equipped silencer you do hackers a favour. It will be more difficult for normal player to report a cheater who used silencer. Nice to see Spino recieved proper sculpting this time. You ought to remodel a raptor, because its eyes go out of its eye sockets and they move too randomly, tail is too short, feathers looks like spikes and arm ones clip through model, running and walking animation aren't synchronised with distance it's being covered by one step.

Spinosaurs needs resculpting, new normal maps and colour textures. Why? Because it is covered by the same scale patter over entire body currently and whoever did that model for WC did very lazy job. Giga needs resculpting as well, because its tongue, teeth, inside of the jaws and talons are covered by the same scale pattern. Quetzal left or right ankle is twisted when it stands on the ground and has to be fixed. Raptor's feathers clip through thights while it is walking and in my opinion those feathers must be gone, because they're simply ugly. If you wanted feathers on a raptor, you should remove old ones and make new ones. You have redo eyes, eye sockets and animations for eyes. Eyes currently move in completely random way and they do go out of their eye sockets. The tail of raptor should be longer. Current animations of walking and running are not synchronised with the distance raptor covers in 1 step. Sigh... Were you not able to make better mechanic up than "making hostiles poop in their pants" for T-rex? For example, roar reducing enemies' (put name of enemies' stats here) by X%. I wouldn't mind stun lock on movement without any poop involved. It's not funny.

Where are other parts of Dino TLC like kibble and abilities overhauls? This new Trex looks silly with its monster like long teeth and exaggerated spikey eye ridge. The side of the head looks ok, but the front is simply bad.

What if someone placed lots of turret on a boat and moved to someone's base (thus hitting turret limit in that area) and that would make the game to choose, which turrets need to be shut down randomly? Have you thought about it Wildcard? I could imagine game shutting down turrets of attacked tribe.

Microsoft forced them to use Microsoft's anti cheat system instead of Battle Eye, which WC worked on for a long time, delaying implementation of Play Anywhere after game premiere significantly. WC just can't openly say that.

WC has been working on this game for over 2,5 years and yet cannot estimate how much time they would need to finish planned features for Abberation, owing to the fact everything they worked on was delayed more or less. Does anyone there have some common sense? October deadline couldn't be reached and now we have no clue when the DLC would be released before the end of 2017 (hopefully), it tells me one thing. WC is so overambitious that they set up goals they cannot reach realistically with such small team. Also, I would recommand changing an employee who is responsible for project management, because he does very poor job.

I guess WC misses all deadlines due to: - bosses setting up very unrealistic and overambitious goals. In result studio is in constant feature creep mode. There is no time left for polishing exsisting features. - understaffed studio with overambitious plans for the game. - everyone knows each other at WC quite well, therefore no one is being punished for missing his deadline or messing sth up accordingly. In result employees are not kept in line and deadlines are missed constantly. All in all, I think current chaos and problems around ARK are caused by lack of proper project management at studio.

Fair enough. Regardless of the date, it really make me believe there is chaos at the studio, because they tries to bite off more than can chew or it is simply severly understaffed, or both.

You told us you would give us more pricise date than "a few weeks later, but before the end of this year" after TwitchCon. Come on. You are right. They were suppoused to give us a date.

I wonder if they will start using their own forum for communication with their playerbase. It felt like it was too much to ask from them. But I'm grateful for one thingtho. The end of "this is Early Access" excuses.

I don't like it either. It is supposed to be condition to put physical copies of game in stores. Rest players will get those after a few months. Jat never stated how long Tek skins would be exclusive excatly.

Apperantly, they sped the video up, so in a result birds seem to be faster. They did that to fit that recording to trailer, which had preset lenght. Overall, this is bullshot trailer. It doesn't represent the real gameplay to be honest. Things they showed hardly ever happen. Also, if they had showed this trailer when game was released in EA, I wouldn't have bought it probably. Tek skins are showed even though mejority of playerbase won't be able to use them due to time exclusivety for preorder bonus.

"Thank you" Wildcard for appreciating our support by giving us no Customer Support on legacy servers. We paid for your game. It IS your responsibility to give us Customer Support regardless if we play on new or legacy servers. You want to treat players on legacy servers like players of worse type. @Jen You shoot yourself in your foot and showed us middle finger.

Oh they will lose much. They plan to release 2 expansion packs + season pass through next 1- 1,5 year, we are the main target for those expansions. We are the most willing group to buy those DLCs. As for today around 38 000 potential customers only on Steam. If they made many people leave, they would feel that when they release those DLCs on the market. Also what free DLC would soften the PR blow? The only free DLC we got is Ragnarok and there is none else planned. Even ridiculously increased rates on EA servers won't soften PR blow, because people wouldn't feel like to start over again. They did a huge mistake by not stating once and for all when they entered EA, what they are going to do with servers after the premiere. By the way, before the E3 there was announcement regarding the incerase of the price for both console and PC verison of the game. That was suppoused to be explained during E3 conference directly, but it was not in the end.

@Jat It might be to late to fix it, but when you look at the game box cover you can see that Utahraptor's lower jaw is way too short compering to upper jaw making the head looking very disproportional.

This means more or less that if something heavly performance wise happens in game, the game will lower resolution automatically to maintain stable high framerate.

Players of Win10/XboxOne will not be able to play with steam users.

@Jat What are studio plans for last 1,5 months of Early Access?

Still they will not fix and optimse this game in 1,5 months. I'm not naive.

Too bad he did not mention how he imagines fixing and optimising the game to acceptable framerate in 1,5 months.

Easy fix? Tell that to dinsoaurs that still fall through roof and a bug that causes the death of hatchlings.

Ragnarok is suppoused to be available now to download according to twich interview.

In 1,5 months do you plan to bug fix the game and optimise it? Good luck with that. Highly doubt you will acomplish it.

Too be honest, I couldn't care less about what creatures they are going to add. All of them have the same primitive AI that cannot recognise there is a rock/an obstacle in front of them,

I assume this is a gryphon that is in dev kit for some time already.
