It would be nice but I know they don't give two sh*ts about any of us or our problems in their game.

I have literally not been back on here or ARK since I posted this... Any hope it's been fixed and my stuff has not blown up or you guys think it's the same story? I'll check tomorrow and update everyone but I doubt anything has changed.

It only said "you died" when I loaded but nothing else... I respawn at a random location because there was no bed to use... Run back to the center of the Scorched Map where my Western Town was and I just see a cemetary of bags scattered all over the area where my town was... I just shut the whole game down without saving/exiting and haven't restarted it since... As far as I've heard it's only SE on Xbox but no where else... idk if it's just single player or not. I probably will never hear anything from the devs again about it but hopefully I'm wrong. I've lost my stuff way to many times... If it was only Scorched and my Island Map is good it's not a complete "I'm never playing again" disaster like I thought it was going to be but idk if I can handle all this a 5th time. My 256 at birth Thyla I took days to breed just to transfer over with me is the main thing that has my upset... Shiva didn't deserve all that.

Yea I was on Scorched. Just got established and BOOM!... Armageddon... At least I believe that means my Island Map is good... That's a relief. I haven't turned it on since to find out.

Your Update Destroyed Everything! This is beyond messed up... My character and all my tames were just killed for no reason when I loaded my single player game along with all my structures being destroyed. I have lost all my progress from bugs in your game 3 times since it came OUT of early access but this is crazy... Idk if you can fix it but you should. I just turned it off so hopefully autosave never kicked it. If there isnt an update fixing this I can't continue to play this game. It has wasted too much of my time and money, and this is leading me to believe there will never be a point for this game where I have peace of mind that all my progress will not randomly disappear one day. It is not fair at all especially when you just charged us for another season pass.. I just can't believe you put an update out that would do this at all or let it slip by. Its just not professional. Months I've been rebuilding after the last bug wiped my maps like my beta level character had never played before... I finally get to Alpha on single player after struggling with bugs to get off the Island for years. Finally move to Scorched Earth and build this awesome Western town, tamed all the 150s I could find across the map and this happens... I can't even put into words how mad I am honestly... I just know I won't be playing this for a very long time if ever again and it's sad... Heartbreaking really. Get your act together Wild Card. It's inexcusable.

Downloading Xbox Account, Ark Data & Bugs I had to redownload my Xbox live account to get past Arks loading screen awhile back because of a bug in the game that I hope has since then been fixed. My question, or suggestion or however you would take this stems from when I redownloaded my Xbox Live account on my Xbox One and opened ARK, my character was there too use, but my base, all my Dinos I had tamed and bred, including boss rexes that took to say the least AWHILE to breed were all gone. What I would like to ask... is if one of your customers, like me for example, spent money on an Xbox One X to upgrade from just an Xbox One, would we lose ALL of those days, weeks, months, even years in some cases of progress of building and taming when we download our Xbox Live Account on our new system and start playing? If so I was really hoping and praying this is something you can change. When we download our accounts on to a new system we shouldn't just get our character we should get our GAME that we have saved on our accounts. Bases, Tames, etc. All right where we left them. That is where the real time in this game goes, and if you lose it that easily it is really hard to want to keep playing. My suggestion is you guys should really work on backing up the data surrounding a character/account including builds, tames, and all the map data in general. If there is some reason this can't be done then I would really like to hear it because that definitely should of been something to consider when you designed the scope of this game and the time it takes to play it. For PC and Consoles we should be able to back-up our map data or an entire save file to retrieve later if some bug wipes our games out. This has happened to me 3 times on single player. I have recently started again on single player and it seems to be working right for the most part for the first time ever, but I was still really considering quitting playing because progress in this game is VERY time consuming and we shouldn't have to lose all that just because you guys update the game and then bugs run wild. Please figure out away to just get our whole save file backed-up, or it at least gives us our whole save file, map data, tames, builds and all when we download our Xbox/PlayStation Accounts on a new system. It is only fair, because I dont know if I could continue to ever play this game again if I lose all my progress, builds and tames for a 4th time... Please look into this... Thank you for your time.

Breeding Flyer Speed I think being able to breed flyers in a way that their movement speed could be raised a little for each later generation would be a good way to bring back a form of classic flyers while keeping the balance of not solely relying on flyers. Maybe being able to find wild max level flyers (150 or whatever the server cap is) with only a 1% higher movement speed than normal, and you could stack those percentages by breeding. A flyer with 1% higher speed bred with a normal flyer would have babies with that 1% added to their speed. But breeding two flyers with the added 1% would produce babies with 2% added to their movement speed and so on until you are breeding flyers with up to 20-40ish% as a cap or wherever you feel would be better. Maybe 20% cap on pteras and a 35-40% cap on argents. I just think it would be interesting and rewarding in breeding, plus it would allow survivors to get a little more speed out of their flyers. It might seem small but it would make a overall big difference in game. Just an idea I had that would really be a nice addition in my opinion. Something to think about. Thank you for your time.

Next TLC? Does anybody else think that with the new water biome supposedly coming in Genesis that it would of been a good idea to TLC the water dinos in major need like the Megalodon and the Plesi beforehand? I feel that was a real missed opportunity to give the community somethings they have been asking for since the first TLCs. Does anybody else feel the same?

New Items & Skins 1. Can we get a Tek gun for taming? Like a taze cannon or something that barely does damage but a lot of torpor damage for max level taming that runs on element? 2. Better sneaking in general regardless of outfit and making ghillie more effective? 3. Can we get a strawhat skin like Luffy's hat for some kind of water related achievement? 4. Can we get actual Tek elevators? Small but effective adds... Thank you for your time.

Saving you Work I have a question more than anything but if the answer is no I would also like a solution... I just recently had my game freeze on Xbox one and the game would not let me passed the title screen after restarting. The only answer I could find to hopefully not lose my year of single player progress was to delete my Microsoft account and redownload it. After redownloading my account I did get passed the title screen just to find it still erased everything I had built, tamed, bred, you name it. Needless to say I was not happy. I came to find my character is still there to spawn in, but everything I had accomplished with him was gone... My question is... Since I want to upgrade to the Xbox one X, will I just lose everything all over again when I reload my account into my new console or will it download with my map data also? I am truly sick of building everything just how I want it for it to just disappear again and have to start over anyway. In the beginning during early access and right after release I lost so much progress and had to start over many times. I finally was able to progress how I wanted to play, going from Island to Scorched to Aberration, etc. Like the story is supposed to be played out. I don't have time everyday to play, so after a year I finally build my perfect redwood base, tame the dinos I needed for eggs and bosses, Bred all my Rex's to fight the bosses, defeated gamma, beta, alpha Broodmother and Gorilla, and just as I'm preparing for the dragon, the game randomly freezes one day and boom. Have to start over again. There is no reason my map data shouldn't be saved with my character in my account. Devs... Please get ahold of Microsoft or whatever you have to do, because it is a big fail on your guy's end if map data on single player is not backed up along with the character... The whole point of this game is to build and gather, and if it doesn't even back that up in your account where you could lose it so easily then there really isn't much incentive to play. Nobody has ARK hours to put into this game over and over to never make it passed the first level of single player without completely cheating... Please take time to address things like this that should of never been a thing to begin with. Thank you for your Time.

It's the only game anything like that happens with so I doubt it.

Roof Snap Points Can we just make all sloped roofs snap points for each other... And allow regular sloped roofs to snap to the bottom of walls hanging down please... Triangle slopes will hang off walls but not the regular ones and it's crazy I can't just snap it to the bottom to build my roof down...

Sloped Roof Snap Points Can you guys please make triangle and regular roofs snap points for each other? It is crazy how hard it is to build a nice roof in this game... I have spots where I know a triangle or a regular roof can fit perfect but there is no snap point available... I figure if there is full foundations beneath that the walls are attached to then you shouldn't have a problem picking where to snap your roof pieces... Please work on that. It is crazy how difficult just putting a fitting roof together can be in this game, especially when the pieces could obviously fit together just fine.

I have never gotten passed the Island bcuz of crashes... (follow up) I had to remove my entire Xbox account and redownload it to just even get passed the title screen... After starting up the game I find out all my Bred Rex's for Bosses, Other Dinos, every base I built and all the resources I had gathered are gone... Months upon months of work gone bcuz the game randomly froze and refused to let me back in the game... I am beyond disappointed... I know one players problem doesn't amount to much to everyone else, but I know it's not just me... Especially on single player, there should never be any issues like this... Online I could imagine unforseen complications, but for the core single player game to bug out to where I lose all my progress for the 3rd time before ever even seeing another map besides the island with the same character is unexcusable... There is no reason people who paid this much for your game and everything involved with it should ever lose single player progress like this. Single Player should always be dependable and it is kind of irresponsible for you to not have done more to prevent these problems... You need a system to back up map data on console single player. Bases at least. We shouldn't lose our dinos like the Rex's people put hours and hours into breeding and saving for raids. I would really like a back up method for the whole map and tamed dinos together but at least saving cryopod dinos stored inside bases. Where if we have these issues we can redownload are map through back up saves in our Xbox account. I have heard people can do something similar on PC by way of a file they can access with stored save data so it should be able to be translated over to console somehow, and with issues like these it's the least the devs can do to keep people from wasting their time building things that could just disappear tomorrow for no reason what so ever. Please put more attention toward single player. Ways to get around issues like these especially and not losing our work. This game is to time consuming to make you back track like this. You either need to rebalance the whole damn game so it doesn't take months to accomplish things or put precautionary measures in place to prevent losing single player bases, dinos, survivors and map data in general. People should even be able to use all these cheats you gave us access to for the most part without ever losing this much progress, builds, etc. Please... Optimize Single Player.

I have never gotten passed the Island bcuz of crashes... I have been playing Ark on Xbox One Single Player since early access... I have played slower than most bcuz I have tried not to cheat and played the game alone. Not twice but 3 times I have made it through all the Broodmother and Mesopithecus after building my base which is hours on it's own, plus taming and breeding dinos to fight the bosses and gathering all the resources Id need to defeat them, then after defeating 2 of the bosses the game freeze at some point forcing me to quit the game without saving. This third time Extinction uninstalled on its own while I was playing... Now the game freezes at the title screen and will not let me even get to the join/host menu even after reinstalling extinction. This is years of this and every time I start, I hope it will be different but it is not. I lose hours to weeks to months of my time for no real purpose and I don't know if I can play your game anymore... I have never made it passed the Island bcuz your game will not allow anyone to actually play it. I don't know what to say bcuz I know none of you will bring my progress back, but I just had to let you know it's horrible how much of people's precious time you've wasted and it's not right. Yeah it's just a game, but I can't get back all the time you force us to play it to accomplish anything in it and it breaks my heart to know it's for nothing and I have to start over again before I accomplish anything anyway... It's disheartening to pour all my free time into something that I can't even finish. I really hope you guys fix this so it doesn't break any one else's heart to lose all this time to your game.
