Ark was love, Ark was life for years. I bought ARK: Survival Ascended, but The Island? I can close my eyes and retrace every step of that map. And WC is planning to release all the old maps over the course of this year? I just can't.... the stories in the news, that they're releasing old maps over the course of 2024 that we have to pay for? And zero news on Ark 2. Is Ark over? I'm sure everyone has their opinion, but these are serious red flags.

I'm not spending a single dollar on ASA. SO not worth it...

I haven't played ARK in forever, again. The whole love hate relationship. However I am looking forward to Survival Ascended. Even with the limited maps. 😑 Is there an official thread? When I visit this site now and then there's no info. Thanks!

$60 for The Island and Scorched Earth with face lifts? Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Gimme some of what ur smoking WC! Try, Fjordur and Ragnarok at launch and just maybe...

Third person only?? FAIL! Is it really that hard to add a 1st person view option? You blew it if you keep 3rd person only view. No immersion, c'om yall. I'll keep playing ARK until I get bored then find something else to play.

Wow, this thread still has some activity? Sorry guys but I've given up and moved on to Conan Exiles. It looks better, tons of NPC's, insane number of buildings, armor, weapons, alchemy and food recipes, etc, compared to Ark. It definitely has its issues but the company actually communicates to its players! 😲 Not like the guy that built Prim+ then abandoned it. I forget his name already...

With the Ark II announcement, Prim+ is dead. 😢 Hopefully they incorporate primitive items in the base Ark II game. SO, not holding my breath tho... 😑

Just please keep Ark II an insanely large sandbox game where we have 99% control. Do not make Ark II some linear story game, I'll never touch it.

I forgot to mention. I was on CI, Prim+, SP, XB1 yesterday and wanted to see a dang Wyvern so I quit and loaded up 'regular' Ark. I played with a few Wyverns then wanted to go back to Prim+. After loading, I was asked where I wanted to spawn and none of my beds were an option because everything was gone! Seriously WC?! I thought you fixed this! I can't have a save in both game modes?! If $GameMode -eq $x (SAVED GAME FILES GO INTO THEIR OWN FREAKIN' FOLDER!) Incompetence! 🤬

Great point! As long as WC kept rolling out new or working old maps, I'd pay! $$$

I tamed a Mammoth on Prim+ so I could see the new saddle and attacks (which there are none.) Is this a joke?

I was hoping the last update may include something for Prim+, that's what I get for hoping...

P.S. to my last post. Prim+ on CI is still driving me nuts!! > No Wyverns at all. > Very low level dino spawns (15 or 20's) across the entire map regardless of the two difficulty settings available on console. > Fireflies are pixelated blocks across the entire map. This is just a triple facepalm. > Supply crates work now but give the same, mostly saddles (the same saddles) over and over again.

@Sytarn, "Actual more features then vanilla." - YES! What are players/WC/C not understanding here?! MORE STUFF PEOPLE!! @mindlesstime, "I was prepared to Post another rant about Primitive+ being forgotten." - RANT = PASSION, DRIVE, LOVE... REMEMBER THESE THINGS WC/C?? Wait right, you went from passionate, driven humans to cogs in the machine. @dizeyner, "Ive loved Prim+ on PS4. it doesnt work on windows PC. THat being said I do not think it needs to be a separate game mode. Why not have the best of both worlds. If you dont like tek dont use it. Id like to see MORE RP objects that until recently were to be found in sponsored mods. None of which i note, is listed any longer on the sponsored MODS page." - YES! YES! YES! YES! - I'll have what he's having. > It doesn't work on PC?? WTH? - 'Heck,' not any forbidden forum curse word. > Why can't we have the best of both worlds?? > Items that make the game more fun; Bakers Oven, Big Bonfire, Ceiling Lamp, etc, AND TEK if we choose. > Items that make the game more immersive, even just for decoration; Tudor Bar, Trading Crate, Storage Barrel, Steel Water Tower, Miners Box, Table Lantern, etc, AND TEK if we choose. @Phil666 - "I wanted to play on Primitive plus. I could not even change the settings on my character. You're so bad at coding that you managed to piss me off at the character creation. - THIS... There are no words for this level of FAIL...

Awesome replies! Well, not the validations that "WC" and "C" have abandoned Prim+ but the ❤️ for Prim+. Being a console only player, PC is for work/console is for life . Giving Prim+, "Unofficial mod status and someone else taking it up as passion project," would be incredible! However, console players would be in the same boat we are now and miss out on a great many new changes/fixes. Not to compare Bethesda ❤️ to WC, but Fallout/Elder Scrolls allows us to add mods on consoles. I spent countless hours getting all the mods I wanted, in order, to get them to work on XB1. If a mod didn't work, I'd just wait for an update and hope for the best. Is this feature possible due to the size and success of Bethesda? Can't wait for their space game! They listen to players. Like many/most of you, I've played all Ark maps (only like an hour or so on Genesis tho), available on console so much that I don't need no stinkin' maps! I could give step by step directions to any tourist that steps foot on an Ark. With that said, Prim+ needs just a handful of cycles to fix Crystal Isles. Any new map is very welcome after playing all previous maps to death! The last update fixed a few things with Prim+ on CI but the following are driving me nuts! > No Wyverns at all. > Very low level dino spawns (15 or 20's) across the entire map regardless of the two difficulty settings available on console. > Fireflies are pixelated blocks everywhere. For any WC lead or manager that snubs anyone, especially players with, "We just don't have the cycles to commit to Prim+." > If you're not a gamer, you're fired! > If you are/were a Prim+ dev... put on your big boy pants and fight! I do it all the time, it's called, passion for your work. Peace and ❤️

I love posts that echo everything countless players have said countless times in these forums, ignored by WC. CI on Prim+ does has supply drops now but not a single wyvern. I started a new map so who knows what else is broken. C'om people! POST something Prim+ here! If this gets enough attention, maybe a moderator could shoot off an email saying... Hey WC, people are actually addicted to your second of only two games modes. Maybe you can put in some cycles toward making it work? This site, TLC updates, Twitter, nothing about Prim+ but we got to watch WC ppl doing NOTHING for the longest time on the last stream.

Aside from that last post, thanks for the replies!! FYI, on CI, Prim+, XB1, local, dinos everywhere were such low levels. I ran DestroyWildDinos all over the map. Now nothing spawns. C'on WC! If you're aiming to go triple A like EA. Abandoning features, slow or non-existent updates, no communication, you're well on your way! Congrats...

Two days, no love? 😢 Alright WC, people (me) are willing to spend dough, clams, notes, bones, moolah, paper. E.g. Money on this to: 1. Get Prim+ incorporated into the primary game mode so it gets regular updates. Or, 2. The Prim+ game mode gets some TLC ❤️. Just make it work on all the maps and the maps work as they should. Supply crates, spawns, etc. Please. 😬

TLDR; Please post anything here to show your support, your love/hate relationship with Prim+! Give an, I Agree!, or Yeah!, or pages and pages of love, screenshots for Prim+! WC hasn't responded to anything regarding Prim+ in over a year. The only related posts I've seen were from the "C" man who has unfortunately abandoned his baby. > Asking us if Prim+ should be incorporated into the base game. > Or, make it a mod and handing its future to home devs which would likely rob console players of the game mode. (Not knocking home devs.) ❤️ > And that thread... was abandoned as well. Going through the forums you'll find countless posts/threads with love/hate for Prim+. > Love: many more items to build, more activities, more realistic, more fun and addictive! > Hate: WC does not even acknowledge its existence anymore, extremely slow updates (years) or issues that just don't get fixed period. If you share this love/hate relationship with Primitive+ please, post here and let's get some kind of response from WC. I can't say enough about Prim+ and how it makes ARK a more realistic, addictive and just fun survival game. In a world of dinos and magical beasts, of course. 😉 P.S. Prim+ is a total wreck on Crystal Isles. > No Wyverns, no supply crates, some dinos are untamable, very low level dino spawns (15 or 20's) across the entire map, freezing, fireflies are pixelated blocks and over spawn and very low spawn areas. And I thought going to The Island might be fun so I loaded The Island/Prim+ local yesterday, I could not find a single dino. What the heck?!

Your second, out of only two game modes, Prim+, isn't getting any TLC. 😑

Definitely put Prim+ into the main game! More building materials, more food recipes, more stuff, more fun! And more attention from dev's? And I too would pay for it! 🤑 But... if WC isn't into money, cool, cool.

Is that why your only other game mode, Prim+ has had laundry list of things to fix for over a year? ?

Can confirm. Very annoying.

Where's the NPC's??

A map a "hair" bigger than the Island. Clap.....clap......clap..... It's called bigger, better Wildcard. Quality over quantity get's boring on a map so small. Figure it out man and for any haters, free that sucks, still sucks.
