was fun

raptor claws presents this year are utter garbage. gachaclaus are broken. This is the wildcard we all know and love. Can't wait for the broken mess that will be Ark 2!

Let's see how long it takes after launch for Gen2 to be stable. Gen1 is still buggy AF.

or incoming angry players who cant transfer in and out of Rag because WC broke more things.

no evo event. good to know I can play something else this weekend.

Useless response.

already submitted a bug report, but just for the record I have to say not being able to pod crystal wyverns is a huge facepalm. servers will be tame capped within weeks I'd imagine, massive bases are already being erected to store them all in, and because they're wyverns they have a tendency to get stuck in floors and other geometry. This is probably something that should be addressed asap @Cedric

Think I saw a couple wildcard employees out looting. RL pvp?

any word when duping prevention systems are coming to official PVE?

Are the constant server crashes on Official part of the event?

so chocolates won't be dropping when breeding dinos? I'm mildly disappointed if this is the case, given that people are going to be breeding dinos around the clock anyhow, so not having chocolates drop (think it was 30% chance in past years iirc) isn't going to help with server performance. If anything, we're going to be breeding dinos even more often during event given that we'll be online fishing all day, instead of being offline in between breeding sessions and giving servers a break. Some things are fine to change, but this probably is going to get some ire from people if breeding doesn't drop chocolates anymore during valentine event.

good to hear dlc is being polished, and valentines wasn't cancelled afterall. As for people who are upset, they should have had the brains to know what they were spending their money on. They would also be the loudest complainers if the DLC launched in December full of bugs.

It's important to remember that ARK in every way possible will eventually bring your expectations to zero. I can tell how long someone has been playing ARK by how often they are disappointed when something doesn't go the way they expected. The same goes for Wildcard Studios. The fish rots from the head, so don't expect much and assume all hype is just hot air. If you pre-ordered Genesis and are upset they keep delaying the launch, that's on you. buying a pre-order for a physical product that has some kind of supply limit or scarcity makes sense, but there is no supply limit with Genesis, and you aren't missing anything important by waiting until launch. If you do pre-order Genesis, Wildcard probably assumes that you are doing so because you want to support them, and that you are intelligent enough to comprehend what you are paying for. Personally I just don't pre-order. period. It's a business model that encourages moral hazard in the gaming industry. That being said, ARK is one of the few kickstarter/early access games that panned out, and Wildcard should be applauded for that, but don't get mad at them because you are bad with your money, or have expectations that don't match reality. Just ask anyone who's been playing ARK since early access, and they'll confirm as much.

good to know valentines won't be cancelled because of genesis part one. Even more of an opportunity for pve legacy players to move to official now to take advantage of spring events and get established. When genesis part two drops, which servers do you think are going to get wiped? Also, my toon needs chocolates, lots of chocolates... YOU HEAR ME WILDCARD?!!

I quit legacy 3 months ago when the writing was on the wall (and after I got raided by exploiting box tribes on extinction who stole years of work), but I started up recently on official and all the horror stories are unfounded. People are nicer in general, minus a few trollish highschoolers pretending to be adults, but mostly very nice people. Prices are a fraction of what they were on legacy, and the bred dinos are of a much higher caliber. In a lot of ways I wish I left legacy years ago had I known official wasn't the dumpster fire that some made it out to be. In time the ARK bug will bite you and you'll want to return. I've been playing since early access so I'm not some starry-eyed scrub. Point is, after playing all these years I came back a bit more than three weeks ago and already I'm established with everything but tek, which I'll probably have in a couple weeks once I get around to caving. It's amazing how fast you can get everything back when you know the exact path you need to take from scratch, but doing so on Valg helps quite a bit, as well as taking a retreat to extinction to grab a few gachas and snow owls. It might take a new player months and years to get anywhere, but its a cakewalk for those with experience, and then you'll forget legacy was even a thing.
