Lol smile. Nov 3rd and still no concrete console news.

If we're going by last week, never.

My friend's aunt's dog that I play minecraft with says the same. Thursday release confirmed. 

PVP is anyone can get it on sight.

It is a little ridiculous for a guy in a tek suit to be crushing a thatch bob on the beach, but overall PvP is dog eat dog.

New players need to learn lessons on how to stay small and hidden until they have enough to claim a spot to build their own legit base.

I've been wiped 1000 times so I have no sympathy for people crying in chat about getting their base leveled or their tames killed. Its part of the PvP experience.

I think you would be much more disappointed if they hadn’t catch a certain bug and you still couldn’t play. Just be glad they caught it. I’m sure the company is just as disappointed as you are that they had to delay.

in devlopment they say it’s done when it’s done. They caught the bug and first analysis is that they needed more than 3-4 working days to fix it which means november. 
 

And it’s not like we haven’t seen delays before, especially during covid. The drama i see on this forum is surreal. People using familymember deceases as an excuse to behave completely mental towards the developers is something new however. 

Psychos making death threats and what not is way overboard. Its a video game ffs.

But just about anything short of that is fair game imo. WC does this to themselves over and over again with delays and shady last second announcements or zero announcements at all for prolonged periods of time. They made their bed.

Can we get some info on console. Like what the hell is going on?

All we know is its delayed until Nov. Well Nov when? Are we gonna do the "its on track" dance again until the end of Nov and then get a random tweet saying its delayed until Dec?

Why is it delayed?

What happened with the cert?

Have you guys resubmitted it for cert?

Ffs when you string us along all Oct and then pull the rug out at the last minute for the SECOND delay, we would like some clarification on why that happened and what to expect other than an extremely vague delayed until November.

There are many things that are not working as planned or hoped for with ASA but the game is still early access on steam so the people that are getting it should be ready for this because its new and still in early release. Early release players should be ready for bugs and problems and be there to to report them and help the game not expect it to be perfect and review it poorly. Just wait for 2024 when it comes out fully and then review it based on how it plays. There are a few things that they seem like they wont fix one of those things being server hosting being only by nitrado, but other than that we should just wait until it fully releases.

Hey. Do you believe that they will make it not crushable? If this will true and gen2 will not crush with new engine and "new" server technology, wow. But you are true. Those minority of players here just crying but tend to buy it asap. I wanna see them to develop same game. Lol. I will buy to play with old friend whenever first issue solved, you are right. 

 

I've always dreamt of a noncrushable game.

So many years of my games crushing has made me cold and calloused to the world

Maybe I'm off target here, but I find it funny they get the dev kit out as quickly as possible so people can begin creating mods and in turn open up another revenue stream for WC when those mods possibly get sponsored.

That's what i want to see! Optimizations and a TEST environment to properly test stuff before they go live. This is the right way to do it.

Yeah with survival games this seems to be the best practice. Both the other open world survival games I play, Rust and Dayz, employ this system.

WC is only 8 years late to the party but hey better late than never.

Are you kidding me? They haven't fixed or actually added raft collision? So i can make pokers again and poke the raft graphics through someone elses raft and blow it up from inside?

Yup. I watched a bunch of HODs stream. They were in a raft and another guy phased his raft right through their walls.

The hit reg also seems just as bad as ever. They had an argy trapped in their raft and you could clearly see them connecting with arrows but not getting hit markers. 

I'm actually astonished at how little WC has actually fixed from ASE.

Shi is after every last yen he can get.

We waited just as long as the rest. Release it at the same time or delay it. But they dont care. Everyone waited. But even now not even a date for console. I think they lose allot of players because of this.

Good job again🤣

It's not the delays (however annoying they are) that are making me question a day one purchase, it's the fact that legacy issues like meshing and rafts phasing into one another still exist.

Unacceptable to "rewrite" the code as they put it, but still have the same glaring almost game breaking issues.

Makes me wonder what other stuff they didn't bother to fix.

So long as "November" means "Early November", all is forgiven.

Lol yeah right. Nothing from WC has ever launched early in a month. It's always last minute. 

Man the trailer looked amazing but I'm really disappointed as a PS player that I now have to get strung along for another month...

I never thought I'd see the Jug Bug get so much love and attention.

I wonder how you craft a canteen before level 54 without a blueprint 🤔 Oh yeah you can’t. That same logic can be applied to almost every scenario in the game, which doesn’t make it right. Craft a shotgun. Congrats you have basically invalidated needing a vast majority of tames that just are used to fight. Theres nothing wrong with a creature being tamable purely to fit the theme of the map its on. End of the day its not up to any of us

Lol jk

I always hated when people had the bone dragon skin. It made them really hard to see and track. Big time advantage in PvP.

I'd be fine with player skins though, as long as they didnt offer a distinct advantage like the bone wyv skin.

In rust, there's different skins for different armor types, so if ark went the same direction a player could still be able to identify what armor someone has provided they know that particular skin.

Man you really came in here and just shot down most of everything. Not every tame needs to have combat stats so having “pathetic” stats is not a good argument(look at Snail and Bee) 

Craft a canteen. Congrats you tamed a water bug.

Trailer?in the other link say gameplay

I think its pretty safe to assume we're getting the trailer which will contain the first gameplay of ASA

Well clearly they are saving the trailer for that partner preview. Not sure why all the secrecy is necessary but oh well at least we have something to look forward to now.

After completing the entire game, I would not mind using lesser structures if they gave them the same decay timers as tek. The main reason I build with tek on official is the decay timers. Tek storage and tek gen / Cryofridges (directly on ground) gives you a 60 days delay before you lose your dino/ressources.

That being said, breeding on official is just too hardcore without meawing/incubator and cryopods. Its like youre are doing time in prison.

I dont even consider cryos tek. They are an integral part of the game imo and should never be excluded. 

I was speaking more along the lines of the overbearing stuff like the tek bow, tek rifle, tek skiff, flying around in a tek suit etc

Ain't no overgrown lizard outsmarting a resourceful cave man like myself.

It would be mindblowing watching the creatures behavior change over time due to the AI learning from player tactics. The cat and mouse game would be really fun.

Of course a wipe is possible, but i dont really see it coming, the situation is fundamentally different to what it was in ase when it left early access imo.

Anyways, i would not mind a wipe, in fact id support yearly wipes for official servers. Keeps it interesting.

This.

I've come around to the idea of periodic wipes after playing a lot of Dayz and Rust.

I realize Ark is a bit different but I still think official servers would be more fun with a wipe every few months. Snow balling on a fresh character is always a good time.

I really loved that map too. During the early days of Ark I was on Scorch. When I played the game years later I did all maps / all boss and we made an outpost near green to do the Arena. Was fun to discover the map.

The problem I have will all old maps is the lack of a way to farm elemental shards. They should put nodes on all maps to make it even.

Lack of easy element and tek is a big part of what made some maps great.
