Dreadnaught

This game (and the devs) never change Got a wild hair to boot up ark after having quit shortly after extinction proved underwhelming upon launch (imho). This was a week ago, no idea what genesis was or that it was almost out. Reconnected with folks on my aberration server and had a decent time exploring the new to me quality of life improvements added in over a year. Then the massive update for the new DLC hits, 200ish gigs separated into many updates. Get that all done while I sleep. Try to log into the ab server as I’m still on the fence about giving someone money for something new when the old stuff never worked 100%. Over half the ab servers are missing including where I was playing. Ok whatever it’s day after launch these guys never been good with updates I’ll wait. Start on a character I had on scorched and get a Adobe hut up in a few hours and log out on a bed so I can run errands. Hours later try to log on, ab servers still missing. Ok load scorch with 1 player on it. Raptor attack sounds while loading and fail to join. Great. Try again same result. Third time the charm but must respawn as was killed on the bed. Respawn with my body under the bed and naked, none of my gear on it, explore around the base no raptors anywhere to be seen. Lost metal tools and a desert armor set, nothing if you’re established but sucks if you have nothing. These developers are terrible, they always have been and I can confidently say that with about 7000 hours (wasted?) in game. This game as a concept is one of the best ever but the people at the helm cannot execute on its potential now and never could. Thats my rant, enjoy genesis if you like it I guess.

Multiple ab servers missing, I am only seeing nine available currently.

I also only show nine servers available. 4 NA, 3 EU and 2 OC. Where have all the ab servers gone?

People with a knee jerk reaction like this are usually the major offenders in the first place. In the original announcement there where no specifics as to what the structure decay changes would be at all but fools like this just assumed adding more pieces would be the solution, many of them knowing this would block spawns. This issue is based in wildcard never having clearly defined guidelines for griefing and the vague rules they did present not being enforced in any meaningful or consistent way. Just give people clear guidelines of what is and isn't allowed and punish the offenders, not try to build rules that affect the good player base just as much as the bad apples.

Fave tame to use on AB would be the drake, mobility and ability to shoot from the saddle combined with decent combat ability. AB tame for other maps would be the Basilisk, too much fun riding a giant dragon snake!

Island would be the best choice probably, its the most rounded starter map and has all the caves and bosses. Ragnarock is by far the easiest of the maps though but it lacks the story elements and only has one boss fight instead of 4 at the island. SE and AB are harder maps not really suited to starting out from scratch. Hope this helps.

Over 4000 hours... I could of built a house with that time

So since there is no raptor clause on Xbox those of us based on Scorched will get no holiday content at all unless we transfer to hunt dinos?

So are the consoles for sure not getting raptor clause? It specifies the skins we can get and how after describing how raptor clause will work but it does not say consoles are not going to see him. Not very clear to me can anyone confirm one way or the other?

I, like most of the xbox players am disappointed we wont be getting the fear evolved event this weekend. Am i still going to play and enjoy myself? Yes, yes I will. At the end of the day this event at its core is just a cosmetic change, other than the dodo bosses. The gameplay is essentially the same which is why i find it strange anyone would buy this game solely on one event that lasts for one week, seems short sighted and foolish. Bottom line wildcard knew they wouldnt have it ready for xbox before today and didnt tell us sooner and thats just a crappy way to treat your community, next time under promise and over deliver.
