Man you guys are really batting a thousand. By reading what people have said on Twitter regarding the supposed “QOL” balance update that you unleashed on pc lol. Sure you say it’s aimed at pvp but you blockheads are gonna make pve TAKE THE SHAFT FOR IT AGAIN! Just like the flyer nerf, the mana nerf, the umpteen million giga nerfs over the years, the gacha nerf, the inability to put turrets on platform saddles anymore (that was 5 years ago and that’s what started this rabbit hole we keep going down). You DO NOT listen to the community, you DO NOT understand the difference of game play between the 2 modes, I have to question whether or not you even care. If ya did there would be separate balances right from the start instead of this long list of bs that has come down the pipe over the years. It seems like lately your only sight is on Ark 2, when EVERYONE knows that ark 2 is gonna be just as much of a disaster as Ark 1, and why is that? BECAUSE OF YOU AT WILDCARD BEING YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY! Especially when you have players telling you about issues with the game for months, and what do you do? Ignore it, push it aside and throw up some vague and useless community crunch to distract and redirect, hoping the problem just gets forgotten about. In regards to the extra life event taking place during the fear evolved event, THEY DO THIS EVERY YEAR! And then in the meantime while rates are hitting 5x, 6x, 7x we’re all stuck with full servers, rubber banding, high pings disconnects and whatever else can go wrong. Einstein said “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”. I’d like to say the Einstein was being too nice, that’s the definition of STUPIDITY! They know what these events do to the servers, they know what the aftermath is, and they know how bad it ticks off the community. Not to mention WC has not EVER put out a clean near seamless update or patch IN 5 AND A HALF YEARS!! So fear is gonna go live, it’s gonna take 4 days to fix it because they broke SOMETHING! Then it’s at least a dozen server resets to get it so it’s right or fairly stable to play. Who wants to bet me on that? Anyone? My last little vent is as much as this game, WC, cheaters/dupers and just the natural order of the universe seem to screw everyone over, yeah evo events could be enacted more often, but only with stable servers. It’s just that little piece of justice that us Ark players need to keep some skin in the game, literally. Sorry WC, you should have known the can of worms you opened 5 years ago when ya started doing the evo events, if ya didn’t I dunno what to tell ya. After all that, WC you guys have an awesome game and it has the potential to kick the big game developers right in the knees. We don’t gripe to annoy and be thorns in your sides, we gripe because we care and love the game! You guys have done an amazing job creating a game with this much depth and involvement, but the bad decisions at the company level are holding it back.

I hope to the maker of all things holy that the separate balances for the patch intended for pvp. DON’T MAKE PVE PAY THE PRICE FOR A BALANCE THAT ONLY MAKES SENSE FOR PVP!!!!! Nothing about fear evolved event? To be painfully honest, I don’t really much care about The Lost Island map and many others don’t either, other than the 3 new creatures there is no incentive to set up shop there because everything you could ever ask for is on Gen 2. The only thing that is missing on Gen 2 that every other map has (besides scorched) is a snow biome and a lava biome. I will say a big thank you for the breeding event, and the fact that some creatures will become breedable which is awesome. Got a small idea of which ones they are, but don’t wanna cause an undue speculation. Oh a trek magnifying glass would be amazing., or make it so HLNA works on ALL,

1624 is down too. Hit refresh for 10 minutes, then doesn’t show up in the server list then 2-4 refreshes and shows 0/70, log in to a rollback. Then get like 5 minutes of game time and back down again. Pretty frickin ridiculous, where’s the work ethic on WC’s part? Where is the communication? Even just a BS “we’re aware of the problem and are looking into it” instead of literally NOTHING out of them, not even the sound of crickets. Very damn frustrating!

Oh Wildcard, it’s pretty sad that you don’t have enough faith in your servers to have a breeding event. I mean are you saving it for the holiday events or something? If so, THEN SAY SO! Yeah 2x harvesting and taming is nice, especially for small and solo players, gives us a chance to stock up on mats and tame that must have creature at the drop of a hat but for mid to end game players breeding is what pulls us back to the game. To address my previous point, your communication sucks, it always has sucked and if it keeps going it’s going to make me rush out and buy or get all hyped up over Ark 2. If ya buy a certain make of car and have nothing but issues you’d have to be a damn fool to go buy the same car again. I’m just perplexed that not one person in the entirety of Studio Wildcard didn’t pipe up and say something about the increase of breeding that would take place due to the addition of the Maewing and incubator. If they did pipe up and say something and someone else shut em down, they need a good solid kick. I will say I am glad that it seems the connection issues seem to have simmered down on Xbox servers finally but damn guys it took ya long enough to fix it. We get working through a pandemic isn’t easy but evo events should be second nature by now. Ya shouldn’t have to worry about the breaking servers. Hopefully, you guys can get things stable and happy enough to do breeding events again because if not this is going to be one long, rough and frustrating holiday season, and I really have to question how much the community is gonna take before server populations whindle quite a bit.

Ya know a breeding event would have been nice over the weekend but I’m kinda glad we didn’t get one. I don’t know about other officials but I know the official gen 2 server I play on has been plagued for the last month or 2 by someone or a group duping like hell. Lags the server, kicks everyone out and the won’t come back up on the server list for 10-15 minutes, then has a minimum 20 minute rollback. With issues like that the last thing we need is a breeding event. My hope is that this crap is figured out and fixed before the end of the year’s holiday events and extra life event. Things like this is why I (and 99.9% of people I play with) agree that ARK 2 SHOULD NOT BE RELEASED NEXT YEAR AND SHOULD BE IN EXTENDED DEVELOPMENT!! Don’t want to waste money on a sequel to a game ghat we all love but has the same baggage! That’s like breaking up with a girl with issues just to date her sister, where I come from we call that stupidity!

What good is 2x when the servers are crashing like the Oct ‘29 stock market constantly? Seems like ever since the announcement of Ark 2 came out, the game that is out now has suffered much more than usual. If this is how things are going to go this holiday season then it’s gonna be a bigger crap show than last year. What makes it worse is that there is almost nothing but the sound of crickets on the part of Wildcard’s end. Not even so much of a “we are aware of a problem and doing our best to find a resolution” statement, that would at least be respectful. But with the Halloween event just about a month away and extra life on it’s heals, followed up by 2 more events in close proximity, this season just might completely take out the server network if some robustness isn’t restored in the next few weeks. The way the servers are now, it’s gonna be like trying to race a 9 second car with a knocking rod. I’ll keep saying until someone listens, forget about Ark 2 for a year at least!!! Get this one right first before the same mistakes are made with the sequel!!!!

Oh Wildcard, you fail us once again. You put out an update that broke cryopods. If I fix a car and something happens, I usually start investigating the last thing I did and work backwards until I find the problem. We all are very appreciative of the hard work you all have been putting in over this last year and a half, but guys and gals…..QUIT BREAKING THINGS BEFORE THE WEEKEND!!! Ok you been working hard on the lost island, ok great, but that doesn’t change the fact that the live game still needs help. I will give credit to all of you, the game has gotten so in-depth over the years of development and you all have done an amazing job ironing out the most of the kinks, but it is very hard to get excited about an upcoming addition when things get broken on updates. The chat filter is one of those many annoying bugs, and why can we only place 3 incubators in close proximity? The point I’m making and going to end with is, a good portion of us don’t care about an upcoming content addition when the game we are playing now still needs work.

First off, thank you for getting the servers mostly sorted out, and extending the event so we could all play and enjoy the event rates after the fiasco that was the first week of the event. Server disconnects, the lag was just down right inhumane. I mean it is ark so we should all be used to the lag but there’s normal lag and then the “screw this I’m done playing for the day” lag. Thank you for getting that figured out, NOW no more dropping an event before a long weekend without making sure everything is nice and happy! Some thoughts: Could those of us who have the genesis seasons pass be able to utilize HLNA on other maps like the center, rag, CI? I haven’t tried it on paid expansions so I dunno if it works the same but the best feature of it is the ability to scan wild creatures, and it would be super nice to have that tool in the toolbox on other maps as well. Or at least give us an upgrade to the spyglass. Next thought is, could the difficulty of the missions on gen 2 be proportional to the amount of players in the mission. Now I’m not saying nerf the missions into oblivion, because the challenge is fun but some don’t seem to be doable solo. The next is, can we get a revisit into the supply drops on other maps? Everyone that has gen 2 loves the supply drops, me included. It’s a part of the game which I thoroughly enjoyed when I started playing but over the last 4 years and different maps, the drops flat out suck! Not even really worth stopping for red drops on other maps anymore. You had to have known that one was coming the way the drops are on gen. Again the drops on other maps do not have to be as good as gen 2 but are in serious need of some love. Last but not least, possibly add a spawn point to the green zone for gachas on gen 2? They’re current spawn location gets them killed faster than you can locate and tame them, kind of a pain. Thanks wildcard, let’s let ARK 1 play out for a couple years before ARK II gets released, ARK 1 still has a lot on the table yet.

How about we get some stability, reliability and performance instead of content. Stop breaking critical components of the game with EVERY UPDATE. We understand things happen that are unforeseen but c’mon, after almost 6 years of events this should not be something that breaks the game and ya gotta spend better part of a week out of a 2 week event to get it right. Some things the community has gotten numb to but it shouldn’t have reached that point. The lag, well at this point we all know and expect the lag to not be addressed, because it hasn’t been, or hasn’t felt like it has been. The disconnect issues are a supreme annoyance and sometimes causes players to loose almost everything. Just think if it was one of you playing on official, going around the map looking for a tame, or maybe trying to retrieve your stuff from dying and just as you’re about to trap the creature or grab your stuff the game shuts down and sends ya back to the dashboard, and it keeps doing it over the course of an hour. You would be pretty ticked off. Or maybe that egg you been waiting on for hours to hatch is about to pop and the game boots ya and you can’t get back in for 20 minutes because the server went on the frits and that baby dies because you couldn’t claim it let alone cryo it. It’s things like that that happen all the time that creates animosity towards you at Wildcard from the community.

I’d be excited for the crunch this week and summer bash (prob one of my favorite events besides winter wonderland), IF there wasn’t this elephant in the room of the servers for consoles unplayable FOR ALMOST A WEEK! Then go get an evo event in the middle of it, that’s like putting a box of cookies in front of a kid but just out of their reach and not giving them one, but telling them they can have one! People are getting pretty ticked, I know I’m one of em! Then I see something on Twitter from a day or so ago that says console patch is coming early next week??? At this moment, I’m sure most of us don’t care about skins, chibis, Ark 2 news or hell even the summer bash event right now. What we want is to know that you hear and acknowledge our outcries of server problems, and that doesn’t seem to be happening. There’s no reason for servers to be this messed up for almost a week and the community to hear nothing but the sound of crickets on behalf of Studio Wildcard. People are loosing things, tames, items and TIME on something we payed for. You don’t go buy a car and pay full price and only get the 4 wheels and the engine, but that feels like what we have received.

Not to be mean, but to hell with Ark II when half of not most (or all) console servers are bugged out with 2-20 minute connection time and 200+ constant ping for almost a week, and what do we hear from ANYONE from Wildcard, *holds up ear*, *crickets*!!!!! Wildcard, you are pissing off the entire community with not even so much as a peep in regards to the server performance the last week. PLAYERS ARE LEAVING! Long time AND new players! This keeps up much longer you might as well halt ALL developing of ARK 2 for the foreseeable future, because you won’t have a player base for it to be played on!! Everyone in 1624 is chopping at the bit because of this mess! And that’s not the only server that is in that state of mind right now! At least give us a disrespectful lie of “we’re aware of the problem and are diligently working on it”, even if you don’t! When the servers started going down where were you? The servers are up 24/7/365, and by default maintenance teams should be available and ready AT ALL TIMES! You at Wildcard have received our money for the DLCs, but you don’t reciprocate delivery of a satisfactory product! Enough is enough!! Then to add insult to injury you throw out a Evo event when the server stability equates to a sand castle surviving a tidal wave! People are loosing tames, resources, builds and whatever else and you are nowhere to be found FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW! I’m sure there are hundreds of server outage tickets and no response. People on Twitter are calling out server issues, and still nothing. Players are reporting server problems in the forums on here, and you still remain silent! What freaking gives??? My suggestion after this mess gets fixed (and many many others share my thoughts on this topic), TEST YOUR FREAKING UPDATES BEFORE YOU DEPLOY THEM! Us players are getting tired of the ready, fire, aim bs. When this does get fixed, I think a very heart felt apology is needed at the very least.

Na crossplay gen II server 1624 same song and dance. At first it seemed like there was a pattern to the crashes but then went completely random as the day wore on. This is ridiculous! We in the community have been saying for years. TEST YOUR UPDATES BEFORE DEPLOYMENT! And when something goes wrong at least acknowledge that you know about it! Things seemed like they were getting better for a while, even shortly after the gen 2 release and then this happens. In the name of all things holy, PLEASE get this figured out and fixed. Some compensation probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to be honest. I have to agree with the statement if this is how Ark 2 is going to be, then maybe that shouldn’t be released until 2023 or 2024, ya think?

Unfortunately the last drop I’ve gotten only had 25 in it, and they seem to be few and far between. I do use a toilet, in real life. For a lot of us out there dung beetles are quickest and easiest in early game. Snow owls are efficient but are slightly inferior to fertilizer, not saying it’s not sufficient enough but they do have a lower fertilizer value. I’ve used both and have specifically looked at that. In regards to compost bins, the greenhouses and other plants that are utilized on officials can smoke an entire 10 count row of loaded dung beetles( I know because I have 10 in my C.I. base), you aren’t pulling the same volume from compost bins as you are from beetles or even owls for that matter. Not without a whole separate build just for the bins. In regards to beehives, there was nothing that I saw that said they were adding beehives to the game. Now for arguments sake I didn’t look at the patch notes either, nor the spawn map since they deployed the patch. But I have not seen 1 beehive anywhere on the map as of yet, I will be looking though. What’s wrong with it? They broke the space biome in the last patch. No oil rocks, barely any obsidian and just about nothing in the black pearls, shards, ambergris/mutagel. Even the metal spawns are quite light. Now I just see they are deploying a patch, dunno if it’s to fix it or what but just hope they don’t break something else a little more crucial in the process.

I agree! Can you guys please add dung beetles and bee hives to the map? Unless we can obtain honey in a drop (which I haven’t seen yet), making extraordinary kibble isn’t possible. And other than snow owl pellets and creature poop, no way to fertilize crop plots. Other than that, gen 2 is awesome and I might just make this map my home base map! My final statement…….DONT NERF ANYTHING!!! It’s amazing just the way it is!!! Just fix stuff lol. The map, the servers (when they’re not full, which almost never), the detail and the performance is impressive! Best one yet in my opinion, can you continue THAT with all future releases?

I have to agree with the Prim+ aspect. I like the tek aspect because it does make some things easier when you’re solo or a smaller tribe, but I also wouldn’t mind the Prim+ mode, brings a whole new angle to the game that keeps along the same track as the roots of the game itself. TBH I would probably end up having a prim+ server AND a normal ark server just to better suit my playing mood that day. Onto a more present matter. Hey WC, time to add more Gen 2 servers. I just did a quick calculation for JUST the crossplay servers, there are 713 people on an-pve-crossplay servers alone, you have 6 gen 2 servers, ya getting where I’m going? The 6 gen servers only equate to 420 for population, over 700 people play on this cluster alone. This isn’t talking EU servers or even pvp, seriously what gives? I got booted out of the server over an hour in the middle of my yard and haven’t been able to get back in to safely log out! I know I said I’d probably wait for the mad dash is over but I already committed to it. Wildcard, you really need to add the amount of servers that would be able handle an entire cluster population flooding to a new map. Just my personal opinion, that’s what makes sense to me.

The manas aren’t broken, just OP. Same with gigas to an extent, I agree that your not wrong in your points regarding the gachas and fishing, but they nerfed it pretty hard, almost to the point it’s not even worth it. You’re right in the fact that ARK started as a PvP game, but over the years I’ve seen a lot of people steer away because of the hacking, cheaters and over all (not speaking for all pvpers) toolbags. In regards to the mana and traversing the map, I haven’t seen to many people using them much anymore after the nerf. I have em but don’t use em, too glitchy for me. Most people use either wyverns, skiffs or TPs to get around the maps now. In regards to gigas, they have only 1 use on PvE, meat runs. Back when war was a thing, they were a nuclear deterrent. But that’s not the case now. An OP giga for I think most PvE players is the difference between a 10 minute meat run or a 45 minute meat run. Especially when you have a hatchery full of babies. As far as separate balances, it could be done. A lot of work, probably, and a lot more than what I realize, BUT they have already done that to a certain extent. You can’t pick up wild dinos in PvE, but we also don’t have cryo sickness from tossing out tames. If there’s a will there’s a way, WC already built a completely different game from the ground up. Separate balances are not out of the question, the will isn’t there. All my point was it seems like it’s one extreme to another. Somebody complains about an OP creature or item or function, and they nerf the thing into unusable territory, instead of taking the time to truly balance it.

Most of us would chill out we haven’t endured YEARS of stupid irrational decisions on the part of WC. It’s the stupid decisions of not adding enough servers for the biggest hyped up expansion since the center map (which they did the same BS way back then), and yet again PvE pays the price for PvP! The flyer nerf, the fishing nerf, the gacha nerf, the umpteen million giga nerfs, the magnamgr nerf all of theses made ABSOLUTELY IRREFUTABLY NO SENSE FOR PVE! Those were enacted because of an issue on PvP. IMO someone joins PvP to FIGHT other people, ya can’t whine when someone else is bigger and badder wipes you, last I checked that’s the definition of Darwinism. Not giving an allowance to cheaters because cheaters are the scum of the Earth. The other thing that doesn’t help most of our attitudes is WC has not produced a mostly non-problematic content release EVER! They ALWAYS break SOMETHING within the core game mechanics that cause issues across the server network. Now I don’t code, and couldn’t tell you the first step of building a game this intrinsic and with the depth that ARK has, BUT I do know integrity, common sense and the simple fact that works for one thing DOES NOT work for something completely different. Ya can’t just drop a Chevrolet 350 into a Hyundai and expect everything to work together happily.

Raising the population cap isn’t a good idea. The servers can’t handle the 70 it’s at now. They never could even during legacy when server pop cap was like 50. This is a problem WITH EVERY SINGLE DLC DROP. This has happened since the center was released, even before then when it was just the island. When these dlcs drop they need to add MORE servers to launch day to handle the flood of players logging into the new map. I play on the na crossplay cluster and we only got 2 gen 2 servers on launch. Same with the EU cluster, meanwhile I believe there’s like 6 Valguero servers or somethin. It’s a saddening incompetence that punishes the entire community.

I’m not at all surprised by the issues I’ve read down through in the comments. Classic WC, same song and dance that we’ve seen over the last 6 years. I caved and bought the genesis seasons pass this morning and now I’m wondering if it was 30 bucks just wasted. I logged into the official server where my main base is and saw that they only added 2 gen 2 servers for crossplay????? Seriously WC, what stupid logic was that??? It’s about as idiotic as having 1 server on crossplay for the island, aberration, scorched earth, Ragnarok and the center maps. The biggest most hyped up expansion to date and you pull your classic BS. Then talking with one of my friends on that server they said that game chat was broke (conversed over Xbox messaging), and also told me about only 2 gen 2 servers. You KNOW that whenever you release new DLCs the servers are going to get flooded with people wanting to play em and you STILL do it, WHY??? My buddy also told me that both gen 2 maps are pillared to hell already, and also at 75/70 server pop 20 hours out of 24. If you’re going to stick the screws to us at least do it with an apology and a drink first, by implementing these things to PVE at least: 1- Enable a capped movement speed to flyers on official 2- Remove the transfer timers (you say you have a handle on cheaters now, that’s why they were implemented in the first place). 3- allow the transfer of element shards (at least) 4- Enable PERMANENT 2X BREEDING AND MATURATION ( you have permanently doubled taming and harvesting TWICE). 5- STOP BREAKING SOMETHING THE GAME WITH EVERY SINGLE UPDATE There are other things that really need to be implemented but that’s just my top 5. Other than that, genesis looks awesome, probably just going to learn engrams and stay off the gen 2 servers until more are added or things calm down after the first month.

Personally I wouldn’t mind if Gen 2 was delayed until next year if it meant that it’s opening would mean a near smooth addition in which has NEVER happened with any dlc or map addition to the game. If this is true going to be one of the last additions to the game then make it so it works right the first time and not broken for an entire month. Same goes for Ark 2, we are approaching the middle of 2021, and that is slated for 2022? It doesn’t matter when in 2022, THAT IS WAAAAYYYY TO SOON! Ark 2 being slatted for release means 2 things in mind: 1- either they have superheroes working on the game and it’s much farther along in development than we all believe. Or 2- it is getting rushed, and rushed means things done half-ass, and nothing being tested. With more bugs and breaks in the game and it will take them over a year for it to run somewhat halfway decent. Just look at what we have had to endure with Ark 1 through the last 5 1/2 years, AND IT STILL ISN’T RIGHT! Which speaking of stuff that needs to be addressed, how about fixing the flyers just up and walking off after they land, I almost got another 3-4 flyers killed last night because of that! Also you should not be able to pick up eggs through a wall! Getting stuck in the teleporter has become quite the annoying issue as well. One more thing I would like to bring up is that creature spawns on Crystal Isles is kinda sparse at best, even when server pop is near 0. Also the map is very sensitive to structures. Don’t take me wrong I’m not complaining, base defenses might take out a few brontos like every 2 weeks, saves on bullets and fertilizer lol. Just something I have been noticing compared to the other maps. just some suggested ideas that myself and others (that I know for a fact) would like to see a capped flyer speed option returned to officials, breeding and maturation rates increased permanently. There are many other things that players would like to see come to the game.

I saw this and started busting a gut! Lmao. You are very correct sausage. The official xplay server I play on starts goin completely bug nuts when the server pop reaches 40-45 out of 70......The servers can’t handle that population on top of a major event....on top of people transferring in and out and having to relog to render bases. The servers during events should be powered by The Rock......not Richard Simmons.

Saawwweeetttt love that event rate, but also not forgetting the double-edged sword it brings. When it’s a full count rate hike for events like this it DOES kick the servers in the nuts in regards to stability, but I do enjoy the rates because I’m solo on official ( I like it that way, no bull to deal with). I’m pretty much expecting the servers will be just about unplayable for the first 3-4 days between the times of 1130 am- ~230am the next morning EST. That’s my concern, especially those of us that have been breeding, hatching and cryoing waiting on this event to raise. In addition (not to sound like a whiny little kid), thank you WC! We all know you don’t have to run the holiday events, and it’s something you do for us! I would also like to make another request to give officials capped flyer movement speed level up capabilities ( and common sense level up capabilities, NOT just only 3 levels being allowed on a quetz). A removal of the transfer timers on pve ( that were put in place to solely battle duping), and maybe the ability to transfer element on pve (maybe a stretch I get it). The last thing, maybe looking into rendering problems with transfers. I, and probably everyone else out there has to relog upon transferring back to home server because base does not load in correctly, and with this big of an event coming up THAT is going to bring servers to their knees with people constantly transferring in and out of servers and having to relog afterwards to correct render. Just A thought but please look into it.

I love seeing the fan art, and yes that ferox has my vote for the best one lol, it is pretty cute. It sucks not having an evo event but I get it, we’ll get one with the holiday event. It would be amazing if the breeding went to permanent 2x. You guys have doubled taming and harvesting what twice now? Can breeding/hatching and maturation get some of that love please? it does feel at times where the give a damn for ark 1 has diminished since the announcement of ark 2. There are so many awesome ideas and suggestions out there to help keep players refreshed with ark 1 for at least a couple years to come while ark 2 is in development and TESTED BEFORE DEPLOYMENT! Tested needs to be the operative word there. Some of my suggestions are maybe trying different game modes. That battle royale/capture the base mod or whatever it was you guys showcased during 2019’s extra life event was pretty awesome I think, and should be explored further. I know gen kinda went this direction with missions, but maybe try to involve missions on other maps as well. I realize that’s probably easier said than done, just a suggestion. Last but not least, can we on official PLEASE get a capped movement speed level up option to flyers. I’m not asking for anything unreasonable here I don’t think. It doesn’t have to be a full repeal of the flyer nerf, but something to make us feel like our flyers (other than our wyvs) are capable of more than just sitting in our cryo fridges or on our roofs collecting dust. Also the fixes that would be nice, I keep my trough radius hidden because it’s annoying but every time I log in I have to reset all my troughs, fix please? Also can loading be addressed in regards to transferring back to my home server, I spawn in the bed and have to relog because half my base doesn’t render in. Finally last thing, since duping and cheaters are being handled can we please get rid of transfer timers (at least in pve), that were put in place to combat duping. They are kinda pointless anymore. Looking forward to the upcoming event 🤘🏼

They used to be 4 hours but ya know what happens? You don’t sleep and those of us who have lives and need to sleep for 6-8 hours a night (or day for 3rd shifters) would be up every 2 hours and wouldn’t get any sleep. To WC, WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY IS GOING ON? I dunno if it’s the same across the community but at least in theNA Xplay cluster we are dealing with ridiculous lag times, and server outages. As well as unable to connect errors when we get booted out. The server is 1482. We supposedly had an event over the weekend? To be honest I didn’t even pay attention because of the fiasco going on with the server. Hell it’s kind hard to enjoy an event when the server keeps going down every 45 minutes. Man I hope you Ark 2 won’t be as broken as ark1.

It seems pretty ridiculous to only give it back halfway doesn’t it? I’m sure they could VERY EASILY give us some flyer speed back on officials, especially when it was a line of BS they used when they took it away. It actually does when you think about it. I have SE, Ab and Ext and between the 3, I log onto SE for certain things over Rag. If I’m going for milk or desert drops or alpha wyverns it’s SE all the way. If I’m going for wyvern eggs I go to Rag, because high level eggs are easier to find. WC could change that by simply by working the spawn rates on SE to slightly better than Ragnarok. Also SE’s scar is twice as big as Rag’s. Also most people I’ve talked to go to SE for milk, drops and alphas because of server population. Try going to a busy rag server during an event, you got a better chance of seeing god than getting into that scar without anyone getting butt hurt and accusing you of undercutting them (I play xplay as well so we only have one Ragnarok server in the cluster. Another stupid decision on the part of WC IMO). To add to the point CI originally DID have drakes (whether they were crystals or not I don’t remember), but in another stroke of WC genius they removed them but left the other creatures, like the Baslisk, that requires drake or magma eggs to tame lol. My point with this is that people buying the expansions probably won’t fluctuate much even if certain creatures are available on certain maps or not. What does cause loss of capital to WC is the consistent foot shots the company commits on itself, with unnecessary nerfs and the disregard to bugs that cause people to get pissed off and quit. I’ve seen that personally, when the center fist released I was in a 25 member tribe of friends, and out of that 25 member tribe only 6 people play anymore and only 2 (myself and 1 other person) still play official. It’s a small sample to use for an example but I’m sure it is proportional to the rest of the community to some degree. Last thing, plan on gen 2 to be delayed. I’m not expecting gen 2 to drop until at least April. Could it still be released in March, sure. Am I expecting it, no. If does release in March, I bet it’ll be riddled with bugs until at least April if not May. I will be shocked if gen 2 is released in March with a limited number of issues.
