Well I mean if programming is so easy and making games like so many of you think. Put the sticks down and start crunching some code. And obviously in life not every one is going to make you yourself happy every time you complain. With saying all this I challenge some of you complaining people to make a game in the same sense and lets see which game is better. My money is on Ark. Unless I program the game. but I hate programming its a big headache to deal with and normally means no life no sleep (which I love but lose due to Ark SML). So while you sit there playing the game but doing nothing but griping about a game that you are just horrible at and probably play PvE. Most PvP players don't care we make do with what we got and enjoy the spoils of war. Now when they nerf something they did not say they were nerfing then we got problems. But mostly the Devs are doing everything they can to make a balanced game on the console. So lil 13 year olds that complain because that is what you all are that complain. Stop playing the game because your mom and dad only bought you it so they did not have to take care of you. Sad to say your parents don't love you.

My friend tried everything as well and it did not fix for him but hes just playing the game like its in hardcore mode you just have to know your stats and the depletion. it will actually make you a better PvP player. but if you get your Fortitude up to 20 or higher then when you see the hunger thirst or suffocation pop up you will have plenty of time to get back to surface of water with itchy or nessy. on land you will have enough time to gather 2 stacks worth of berries. Which those 2 stacks will give full food and water. Just health and stamina are concerns and way we figured around it was to know how much you could sprint in one go non stop and get a good estimate of time it takes to deplete. With health you just have to be good at pvp and the dinos you can tell by how bloody they are except for on bionic rex skins.. Its a survival game just be cautious on everything you do and you should be fine.

Yes some players are having problems with the User Interface. You can try fixing the resolution on your tv that might help depending on the tv. Try going from full screen to wide screen or all the choices your tv has might get lucky and have a temporary fix. If not then you might be playing hardcore mode with core mode settings except the hud being gone. This is a problem I know is being worked on and if might be fixed for you the next time you log on might not be they are working to fix it for everyone.

With split screen you are on the consoles connection therefor the console it self can not render two different areas at same time due to the openness and randomness that can be there. Even in non dedicated servers you still have to be within the tether range ( range that the host can support other players) That is something that more and likely will always be there due to the fact of the game should be paid for to get full benefits and even when paying you still have to remember game is pre-release game I wont say it is an Alpha or Beta its more like a vip club to play the game so the developers can fix bugs and ideas we have that might make this game sale better when it comes out. Ultimately its up to us to give them proper suggestions during this time and not making them feel like they did not make a worthy game. The ones who agree with me on this will be the ones that are real and true Ark Survivors and they more and likely will play PvP. (I know I am a PvP junkie admittance is the first step to a healthy recovery) Srry the split screen tether range is kinda making the game less fun but that is why me and my friend on diff Xbox's went from non dedicated to Official servers to get the full experience. If we don't give all aspects of the game a try we will never truly know what needs to be fixed and then we fail as gamers who are preview playing to support this game.

And the release date was moved because well they released the update. So if you are complaining about they did not do what they said they were going to do. You are an idiot because any game developer except bungie and call of duty franchises will say this is what we expect to have in the next update. I don't know about you but expect means they have plans for it but its not a guarantee. So les look at real problems like the ladies and gentlemen who have been giving screen shots of the UI being messed up and the split screen. Those are the main problems that will make or break this game. Having a terror bird will not make you a better Ark Survivor nor keep you from being raided by a tribe with gigas. So once again I don't believe PvE players get the right to complain about dinos because you have no real need for any but a mammoth a bronto a dodec or a rex. All you need in PvE servers just your resource gatherers and two hunters. And also before saying a game did release what the developers said they would based on hear say make sure you actually read what the patch updates will include so you can always see the ~ sign which like I mentioned before means about. And I didn't mention this but the etc. is a way of going if we can add more based on time frame and budgeting we will add more but no guarantee. So lets learn to read like our first grade teachers taught us at least they did when I was in first grade 20 yrs ago. Now I know they just baby sit students. Hope this post actually decrease the ignorance and stupidity of greedy casual gamers. Thanks, AGS Reaper IX

So for everyone that is complaining. I will give you the UI bug that happened that's the only problem. When it was released. The symbol ~ means about that time. and 2 days after is about the 10th. The demitrodon galiminus and bettle along with beer are in the game now as well. So they did add everything the said they would. Instead of being a greedy gamer understand that business sometimes means you have to wait. When you put the sticks down and program your self on top of already existing programming code you run into problems. So Ill say like I have before Ark Developers keep delivering the gamers that will be dedicated to the full product and play through the rough a good game. Instead of people complaining why do you not donate to the cause. I mean I haven't but you don't see me complaining about the game. You are probably a PvE or an Unofficial Server player which hate to know on you guys but you are casual players and not hardcore players like PvP players. We take what we have and build what we need to enjoy game. If they didn't add the alliance for tribes and the terror bird I would still be happy because my tribe has 8 megalodons and that is just a fun time in the sea. So give suggestions instead of complaining. I am not afraid to get banned from forums just to troll the complainers. If you have a problem go play Call of Duty. Oh wait you will run into the same problem but 100x worse. So scrubs put the controller down and go outside. You probably complain about meteorologist when they are wrong about the weather. I personally think if you complain about the devs on their forums that are meant for suggestions not griping at them you should be kicked off the forums due to you are not a good game tester. Be glad you get to test the game on console before it comes out. Peace out scrubby complainers.
