I was excited with the announcement of being able to freely pick up and move building pieces along with everything attached to said piece, but to my dismay this feature does not seem to have made the cut on official PS5 servers. Like the old game, the standard 10 second pick up allowance is still in play. However, the strange thing is that this feature seems to work perfectly as advertised in singleplayer. What's more, on official, demolishing a foundation thats supporting several other pieces seems to now give you return materials from ALL the pieces, not just the foundation. So there seems to have been some changes made but not all them are fully functional. I am curious as to why and if the devs are even aware of the issue as I'd love to see this godsend of a feature brought to official servers.

I'm not a fan of players being able to throw out pocket gigas in the middle of a fight, but the changes they made to prevent this tactic are horrendous. All they had to do was employ an automatic 1 or 2 minute cryo sleep when unpodding a dino. That way a player cant panic throw their giga out when getting attacked. The whole benefit of cryos was being able to freely pod and unpod your dinos while doing your little missions around the map. This change kills that completely. Good job WC. Further proof you guys suck at game development and have no clue how to police your own game.

It usually puts a star next to the servers youve been on. Only thing I can suggest is to scan the server browser for any stars and try them all. Also if you took any videos, you might have paused the game, which would show you the server #. Good luck and in the future always screenshot your server !

A lot of shooters offer 120fps, apex for example, so yeah 60 is becoming the standard. Just because ark is an unoptimized mess and can barely hold 30, doesnt mean 30 is good enough or the norm for this gens hardware.

A few exceptions? Are you only playing games from last gen on your PS5? Most games nowadays are absolutely 60fps as a standard. They might offer lower framerate quality modes, but 60 is generally the standard. Its not 2018 on ps4 anymore.

Its not like they answer tickets anyway.

None of those coming chief. Papa Snail Shi Hai had to make some cuts.

Be nice if all a game needed was pretty graphics and didnt have to actually...you know.... work.

I tempered my expectations for ASA, its wildcard we're talking about afterall, but never did I imagine they'd screw up so bad and actually make ASA worse than ASE, to the point were I've decided to avoid the game altogether. No playstation only servers and ini files on console are the main factors I'm not getting ASA. No playstation servers I can understand. Snail is a greedy publisher and wants to squeeze every last cent out of this cash grab, so they're keeping the server amount to a bare minimum. The ini files thing blows my mind though. It was always something I hated about PC and now WC has made the incomprehensible decision to bring it to console. In-game dev sponsored wall hacks. Great job WC. Any competent dev team would see how this crap destroys PVP, but at this stage its clear WC cannot be considered one. Im just wondering if there's any other PvPers that are as pissed about the handling of ASA and are avoiding it like me.

They'll trickle a few servers out and when people complain because every server is 70/70 with 20 man ques maybe theyll release a handful more in 2 weeks. It's clear one area they targeted to save money and maximize profits is # of servers. No PVE or PvP console specific servers. Not only are we not advancing, were actually taking steps backward from ASE. Way to cheap out on your customers.

No Playstation only servers is a joke. This remake has less server options than the previous game from 2017. Way to take a step back with this subpar cash grab. You left all the bugs and glitches in from ASE, couldnt you just leave the playstation only servers in too.

Well that seals the deal for me. RIP Ark 2023 What a terrible mishandling of the remake. WC you are one of the worst dev companies ever.

My updated opinion is that I wont be buying the game if ini files are allowed on console only servers like they are on crossplay servers for xbox. Absolutely kills pvp. Keep that garbage away from consoles.

I would assume so. I'd love to be wrong. Maybe they allowed it in crossplay for consoles to be on par with PC but I doubt it.

GG Wildcard, you've officially ruined the game. If anyone is not aware, you can now edit the ini files on xbox like you can on PC to take away all the foliage, water, even the entire landscape. I'm done. This kills PvP for me. As a playstation player I was planning on playing console only servers to escape the ini file crap that PC players have access to, but it looks like WC has brought that cancer to console as well now. What a joke. Worst devs ever.

Would you really want to make a game like this though...

Decent mounts for what? Certainly not travel. Combat mounts? Whats the point? There are many other options that do that same job but better and are much easier to move around on. I don't really see the logic in your cryopod example either as Ark is full of dinos that have 1 job (doeds, ankys, beavers, anglers, stegos etc) and when they arent doing that job, they sit in their cryopods. And even their honey gathering is borderline inconsequential when you can just pop bug spray and wear ghillie to accomplish the same task on foot, albeit at a lower harvest amount. That concludes my rant against bears.

Reasonable enough theory but its doesnt explain why the games been delayed an entire month for playstation with a vague "end of November" release date and xbox was the one that got a concrete release date in the first place. If series s was so far behind (and I'm sure it most likely is), why make the more tangible promises for the xbox platform.

WC flexing their copy/paste muscle like they did with the code in ASA

So the entire playstation player base is a VAST minority ... huh ?

Who ever said bears were good anyway? They have one purpose, getting honey.

Stop bootlicking. They delay stuff at the last possible moment because they are a mess as a development team with an equally horrendous communication team. It's been this way since day 1. You're going to have toxic idiots that throw out death threats over something trivial like a video game in any community. People with mental illness are not prevented from accessing the internet so good luck ever stopping that.

I think we can stop blaming Sony now. Clearly WC has left serious errors in these console certifications.

WC making a run for the prestigious title of worst video game launch in history.

New rock AI thats had its code rewritten from the ground up to bring players immersion like never before.
