I'm curious where does it say it is OK to shut down a server for over 5 hours. Every time I get into the game, I'm there for less than five minutes and I lose connection. It's either 5 hours plus of this nonsense or you decide either a hard reset to the server, without any message, where we get Ark'd or our dinos die because of the babies we are raising, at times in the 100s. It is because of this I will not be entertaining any other DLCs for your game. Fix your glitches, for goodness sake I was Anti meshed in a cave where an artifact was two weeks ago and lost everything including my tame!
Seriously? Five plus hours of on again, off again resets? You wonder why maybe, just maybe you are losing more and more players to other games? Guess what, it is because of your servers, hard resets, long waits on a server coming back up, and I mean hours not 15 minutes, or it could be the anti meshing system in caves that shouldn't be there, maybe a few hundred toxic players (who claim they own the map, the land around them, and pillar with ladders, foundations with pillars, or behemoth gate frames (and yes these are adults).
Bottom line shouldn't be the dollars you have made, it should be the players you keep happy because word of mouth extends to our peers, children, and in some cases, grandchildren. Get it together Ark, fix the bugs, the glitches, the anti meshing issues, and make US happy!
