Why do I have to change my perfectly valid argument because you children, which is what y'all are acting like, wont accept the facts. You were expecting bug fixes, well because I read the warning before purchasing I am expecting content and then bug fixes not the other way around. It makes absolutely no sense to just stop adding content to fix bugs so that they can then proceed to continue adding content and creating more if not bringing back the exact same bugs that plague the game now, when they could just complete the content and tackle the bugs all at once in the final clean-up of the game before release which is how every single other company handles building their games but guess what you never get to see that cuz they don't want you to unlike WC who want their community to be apart of the game building and decision making on what gets added and balanced. Again you literally do not have to buy the DLC to play with the new creatures and items if you have someone who did buy it to go get the things for you, the only thing the DLC is required for is access to the new map. So it doesn't really matter if you can afford it cuz you still get the majority of the content for free. EDIT: I want to point out that I'm not saying I am not being childish about this but come on

Dude you are nonsensical. Did you buy an incomplete game expecting something more? Was the notice about it not working properly 100% of the time not obvious enough for you? Why does it sound like the one who needs common sense isn't me but you? "95%" of people don't understand this "new" way to release and showcase pre-release games so of course they would vote against it. "95%" of people would rather complain about this then actually use their brains to think about how ridiculous they sound complaining about all this. "95%" of people is the biggest exaggeration I have ever heard in my life by the way and that is using common sense. You want to go spend 100$ or more on DLC for a "fully completed" AAA title then go right ahead. The rest of us who payed the 20$ on a game that we only payed half price for, cuz we understood it wasn't complete and knew what we were buying, and that we have gotten more out of than most of all the AAA 60$ games with their overpriced DLCs and micro-transactions. How is that for "common sense"

Hey UnvaluedMammal, its crap like your comment that makes my point about people not wanting to accept the fact that this game isn't finished and just want to blame the Devs. Hey I got an idea, just stop playing the game until its done oh my gosh or how about be constructive and help solve the problems, oh but that wouldn't allow you to complain darn

Again AAA developers also keep games under wraps for years before letting people play them. I never saw anything that resembled "we are doing you a favor." I think thats what you want it to be? So what they jumped the gun, oh well it happens. People will still buy and others won't, it literally changes nothing.

Hey guess what profanity doesn't make you look smarter or help get your point across. Release dates change all the time so argument invalid. Yes they have a small team of devs, once again not a AAA developer duh. Guess what smarty you also DONT HAVE TO BUY THE DLC AND YOU CAN STILL GET ACCESS TO THE CREATURES AND ITEMS, JUST NOT THE MAP. Was that obvious enough for you?

Cleary you are just ignoring the fact that all your complaints and reasons are moot. Keep falling back on the Alpha excuse? It isn't an excuse, it is a fact. The only people who look foolish are those who do nothing but complain and talk crap about everything without understanding anything. I am sorry this isn't one of your Triple A titles that comes out fully fleshed after YEARS of nobody but the devs play testing until the release of a tiny BETA for stress testing. This is a game that we are playing alongside the devs during the play testing and content adding and bug fixing and so on and so on. How do you expect a company like WC to keep funds for this game that YOU love to play because its awesome? Oh no they charged 20$ for content THEY made when they just released the Center, which was a modded map not created by WC but by a user who can't charge for the map cuz of copyrights and the devs can't make money off of his creation without royalties for the creation going to said mod creator and who wants to do that, and it was free. Oh but other game makers like Treyarch, Activision, Blizzard, EA, basically every AAA developer are charging 15-20$ per DLC with multiple DLC or you could be Bungie and charge almost 60$ for a DLC and lets not forget Micro-Transactions. WildCard makes one DLC for 20$ just one so far, hopefully that is it but hey I'm not against more if it is worth it just like this, and not only is it a DLC with new content but if you watched the stream they said it would be updated and possibly get more content added to the DLC, OH MY GOSH this is the first time I have heard of a developer updating DLC to add more content to the DLC and I don't see those other AAA titles doing this. Everyone complaining is over reacting and needs to look deeper before flipping out.

I am pretty sure once you submit your work and it is shown in the community crunch, that is your credit and you pretty much give them free roam to take the idea and morph it into their own.

Listen listen...... How many times do you have to be told?..... How many times do you have to read the notice from when you bought the game?... The game is not finished, you basically signed a contract with your purchase that you will deal with the bugs and glitches that come with the fact that this game is still in development and until it is out of development that wont change. They have already taken complete responsibility by alerting you to this fact. I understand being frustrated, I'm not stupid. I just cannot comprehend what you people don't understand about the aspect of "pre-release" I have pretty much decided that the entirety of the community that is going on and on about this has to be trolling at this point cuz it is just too painfully obvious to not notice.

Nobody ever said it was free. Whoever did lied, or you misheard severely. Edit: Or you missed out on the stream where they repeated multiple multiple times that it costed 20$

Its hard to take everyone seriously when all they do is complain about a broken yet still very much INCOMPLETE game. Did you see the emphasis on the INCOMPLETE? I don't think you understand, nor does everyone else who non-stop brings up "game-breaking." Like seriously Edit: Also if you would like to go back and re-read my comment then you would realize it was directed at the people who are complaining about paid content. Not those who are having issues with the content, which I don't understand how people don't understand that adding new content is going to ALWAYS break something in every game.

All these people talking about "why release content like this when the main game isn't even complete." How do you know this isn't meant to be part of the main game? I get that you have to pay for it but guess what you also don't have to pay for it if other people in your tribes do cuz all the new creatures and items can be brought to you. Games take money to make, would you rather they start a GoFundMe thing rather than releasing all new content for a price? It isn't like COD or any other game where you just pay for some silly tiny map packs that all you get to do is run around in circles and shoot a gun, this is a GIANT expanse of a map with dynamic weather, temperature changes, brand new creatures (and we aren't talking just one or two), an all new way to wage war against other tribes, a new boss, and I am sure much more in the future. This is exactly what the community wanted and I can't comprehend the salt. We all wanted the Ark to work like this, where we could go from one Ark with Dinos, to another Ark with "Mythic" creatures, to another Ark, and so on, and now it is possible for this future. Do I think it is worth the price? Yes. Why? I believe in supporting games I love, especially when they release content worth it. I think some people got the wrong idea when there are "free" maps you can download as mods, which is all well and fine but mod developers agree to make these things for free and aren't allowed to make money off of content that isn't theres(copyrights) or I guarantee they would if they could. If you don't want to pay then don't, but don't act like this was the most awful decision you have ever heard of.

Beyond excited! Wish some of the creatures were on the normal ARK but oh well. EDIT: After watching stream I see things are transferable from Scorched Earth back to Island

I am not real sure what is going on, everyone seems to be focusing on the eggs and I am trying to figure out what cave these eggs are in, the rock formations in the back look straight out of a cave plus all the crystals. The under-glow looks to be the same glow from lava plus there is what looks to be smoke in the bottom right corner. The eggs don't look like any eggs we have ever seen in the game so far though, which concerns me. It would be one thing if the eggs were all the same but they are different from each other so surely they can't be form the same source. Baffled right now

I wanna know where this was said, cuz after seeing the redwoods update to the Center it is easy for the devs to just extend the Island map by adding a smaller desert island to the south. There are already two tiny islands, so why not one that is a lot bigger. The south-west area of the map seems perfect for the desert. I would be beyond disappointed if they had to make a new map just for the new MM creatures and not have them on the others.

Well expanding on the bird theory, is that now we believe they all up and evolved into birds because of all the skeletal similarities and finding the "feathered" dinos. So needless to say we think we know what they were but we have to keep changing our ideas cuz we find something new. I think only recently have things started to be separated in what is hopefully the more correct way based on skeletal structure but who knows really. I think this game does a perfectly fine job with current knowledge plus acting on the freedom that they are permitted to use by making their own versions of creatures.

Dude, I think you are blatantly ignoring the obvious. The fact that this game is about extinct creatures that we have no physical records of what they were besides bones and no live specimens, you can guarantee that A( we know barely anything about them and B( we never will unless we have live specimens and C( they could literally look like whatever they felt like cuz we do not know. The kind of thing people laugh at are the people who think they know everything and get on games like this and try to ruin everyone else's fun just because they get butthurt that everything isn't real and doesn't look/do what it is supposed to do, which newsflash when working with hypotheticals which all dinos and everything else we have no record of it is perfectly acceptable to have the creatures look like whatever you please. I perfectly enjoy everything added to the game, just because you don't understand what is going on in the game doesn't mean you can just belittle it for it. If you and your "several others" don't like it then don't play it, it is really simple.

Were you alive millions of years ago? No? Didn't think so. You can't just claim something is mythological because you have never seen it before. It is obviously an oversized ant-lion, which are real, it just evolved to survive on the island and prey on things much bigger than its real life counterpart. In fact almost all the creatures in this game are evolved to fit the island and their current environment. The T-rex isn't even a legit T-rex and so on. So the Bosses are Mythological, what else would you want them to be? These Mysterious Mysteries Dossiers obviously have a purpose, my theory being that they will all be added at once with the "lost" desert biome that could be an island off the south-western coast. It is a game that has not once gone against its game for EXTINCT animals, which is what all the species on the Ark are, rule since the bosses are disconnected from the normal play world and are not tamable.

I guess I understand why some creatures need to be untamable, and just be resource or annoyance creatures. I just wish it wasn't the Giant Bugs that got this treatment, I guess what can we really say about insects though, its hard to understand if they actually understand us and our dispositions toward them wether being hostile or kind. Something about Giant Insects and massive underwater creatures fascinate me, well underwater things in general and flying things, a lot more than a new land Dino or land Mammal. With the dossier for the mantis and moth I have a lot of excitement for my future gameplay with creatures that are more fascinating in size and utility because Giant bugs just seem so wild to me, with the modern day bug being usually smaller than our feet. I can understand why this creature is untamable and I can understand the utility of adding it in, but I just really hope it doesn't take up a slot in a, what I think is, limited list of how many more creatures that can be added when there are sooooo many more possible things to be added. I do realize we can't just have every extinct thing in the game, and the variety is already awesome. I just have things that I hope to see added. Personally would love to see a new Arachnid that is a lot more agile and larger than the Araneo, especially since the Arango isn't supposed to be big enough to mount according to the dossier. Giant Jumping Spider would be cool. Dessert type biome would be a perfect opportunity for Cave Lions if there is a grassland type desert within it.

Of course of course. Like I said I didn't mean to offend and hope to see you in another thread and perhaps agree next time. I won't belittle my fellow survivors. Too many fun times to be shared in this game to be spreading hate.

I know exactly how you feel brotein shake. I like to escape from the norm, this game has shooting in it and yes its first person but it isn't the same ole COD dribble and so on. Excited to continue to see this game grow until final product and maybe see it grow some more maybe or move on to the "sequel" I hear so much about around the forums.

I don't understand why when someone replies to something just stating obvious things it is immediately hostile. Was I text yelling? No. Was I being rude? No. Was I just making neutral statements? Yes. I apologize if you take it that way, but there should be some pretty obvious signs of someone being rude and someone just saying their point. Once again, good for you if that is what you actually do, but telling me or anyone else on the internet about it doesn't mean anything cuz to us you are just some random child or adult that just wants to make their opinion sound better, which is why you should avoid doing it and just state your opinion. Nobody cares if you do this or that for whoever, or how many hours you have put into this game or any other. We just want your opinion and thats it and if someone disagrees then they are welcome to rebuttal but in a reasonable manner where there isn't name calling or belittling their ideas, just constructive criticism. Now also once again, They have separate teams coming up with ideas for the game and one working on fixes for the game (at least that is the assumption based on how other companies do things) and we are currently in a stage of game development where they want to add content and only polish the game breaking things that keep people from playing like crashes and exploitable bugs, which unfortunately the Dino disappearing though annoying is not game breaking.As I have explained elsewhere and as a "game tester" you should now that adding content breaks something always so why bother trying to fix every little thing if you plan on adding loads and loads of new content. After all the content gets added we will get nothing but straight polish to prepare the game for release which should handle a lot of the issues if not all. At least that is what I figure will happen cuz it sounds the smartest. That all being said, keep up the good work WC we are all rooting for you to finish this game and it top all the play charts (Hopefully beat out all these other first person shooters that are too popular)

I am just going to say that claiming you do something just to look good on the internet doesnt work. If you really have work in gaming A( good for you B( you should know better? C( I dont think I would want you working on my games if that is how you are gonna act about how another company does their work. I am completely ok with new content cuz that means the game will take a way longer time to get stale and give the devs more time to work on a "sequel." It is best that if you don't like the things they announce you just keep it to yourself especially when it comes to new content that you have no reason to complain about cuz it isn't even implemented yet.

You do realize there are separate teams when designing games? These dossiers don't come from the same team is constantly at work trying to resolve bugs and polish like you are asking. Just be happy we are getting new things.

DUDE! Much hype, very wow! I can't explain how happy and excited I am that we are getting so many big bugs that aren't cave dwellers and that are just big bugs in general. Yeah they are scary lol but for some reason they are really cool. Can't wait to see what other Mysterious Mysteries you have for us WildCard bring em on. PS: If these Mysterious Mysteries creatures are coming as a package deal that would be awesome. The 5 already and anymore you have planned would make a nice little package since they seem to be related somehow being the mysteries that they are.

The problem here is you saying "not" and "can't" and "won't." When you literally don't know if it is true lol. You put too much faith in scientific THEORY and not enough in fact, and let me tell you the facts. There is A( extremely highly unlikely that we will find evidence of every creature that existed because of poor fossilization or just not getting fossilized at all, the there is B( where the creatures that are alive today that have the same abilities you say they won't find ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_spider oh look there a spider that uses its venom as a "projectile" in a way. Did you realize we know less about our own ocean than we do our own moon? That is crazy right? I wonder what creatures could be hiding in the dark depths maybe even a huge Angler that we didn't know about. If you know anything about evolution then you know everything is a crisscrossing splitting web of characteristics of creatures, so tell me how the the creatures known as stingrays and manta rays are so different because one lacks the stinger. Obviously at some point in time they had to have split from a creature with the defense mechanism into one that still uses it and one that doesn't need it because it is basically a sea cow. You are stuck on the observations of people who compare everything to stuff alive today because that is all we have to try and make sense of these creatures. Yes they are fictional but you can't just discredit this game and call it unrealistic when it is on a subject like this, where there is absolutely no concrete evidence of these creatures other than their bones.
