Baby Dinos are not maturing correctly. So a tribemate and myself started to raise some more dinos tonight. Tribemate had around 10 manas and I had about 40 dinos from argys, owls, rexs, theri, megalos and tropes. Everything was going good until I noticed some of the baby’s had not matured in awhile. Example: had 4 argys, all hatched at the exact same time and started being fed at the same time. 3 were 8% and one was at 2.8%. I cryod the one that was 2.8% and threw it back out. It went up to 2.9% and stopped again. Two argys became juvinile one stuck at 2.9 still and another stopped growing at 9%.. cryod and threw out again and they would just not fix. Argy was the only dino that was doing it. At first... then one of 6 theris paused. Then two. One Rex paused a few trope paused then my tribemates manas started to do the same. No idea what was happening but it was so frustrating that we just picked the dinos up and give up on raising them. I did notice that the health was just climbing rapidly. Instead of bouncing up and down it just kept going up. If i would cryo one of the dinos doing so and throw back out its health would go back down. For example my one Argy was showing 600 health and climbing. Maturation wasn’t moving. Picked up threw it out and it’s health was at 450 and started to go back up again. I let it go and repeat and it did the same. Not maturing at all. Like I said it’s health wasn’t going up n down slightly like it normally does when growing it was just going up non stop. Not sure what’s going on but wasting as much time as we did raising stuff tonight without it even maturing was dumb. We started with summer crash now we got a bunch of more stuff wrong.... anyone else have this happen with babies growing? If so share here for wildcard to fix plz. I’d like to actually raise stuff this event it’s kind of the whole point of a breeding event.

Updates that don't solve the problem but just shift it Could I please just start to ask if wildcard could test updates before they roll them out, everybody on xbox knew when the summer bash update happened, something would go wrong and when the fix came on Monday I was relieved until it started causing other problems. Instead of game crashing after 5 minutes of being on a server it is now crashing quite often on or even before the start screen. It is starting to feel like the idea of testing a update would be a smart one before sending out said update. I am thankful for the hotfix but the fact it only seems to sometimes work is a little disheartening as now Im crashing on and before the start screen. (please note it doesn't happen every time but so far a minimum of half the time for me). This problem is not limited to the start screen, the loading screens between the start menu and actually getting on the server have almost doubled and or crash the self's. I have tried soft reseting xbox many times. I am not the only one having this issue as it seems many in my discord group are also having this issue. It could not be anything to do with the server specifically as the crashes 90% of the time plus are happening at or pre start screen. (update someone on discord found a way to fix this issue it turns out if you fully load a different game (in my case crash team racing) it will allow ark to start working correctly again)

Wildcard actually doesnt know what ini you use ! **fix needed** war on ini and encrypting the game variables. hello my name is little brain in game , with over 6k hours on official and server owner on a unofficial pvp server its safe to say that im a die hard ark PVP player. and unlike most players i speak alot of good things about the game since im aware i played it ALOT ! However the current state of the PVP end of the game is a proper poopshow. Game althering INI took the overhand to the point where you dont stand a chance if youre not running it anymore. forcing players to destroy their game!? reshaders have taken over the game to the next level on both official and unofficial. battle eye offers little to no protection to this stuff however i did read that they do a DECENT job at detecting it for PUBG. after sending tons of complains to wildcard im taking to the forums , "probably to be absolutly poop on by the players that run it" since thats what happends on youtube or twitch when you confront players. the problem is arguably just as big as meshing (which took years to fix but fine its fixed) hidden bases are no longer hidden water is clear and screen effects are gone. as a server owner i can tell all of you a secret. **WILDCARD HAS NO WAY OF DETECTING WHAT INI YOURE RUNNING** bullpoop stories about "legal and illigal" ini go all around all arks. again wildcard has no way of checking what ini youre running wildcard can only ban based on your youtube or stream videos. thats if they see it........ Wether wildcard chooses to accept this over on their own clusters should be their decision ! as a community server owner i would prefer not accepting it but since detection is IMPOSSIBLE we rely on wildcard to put the tools into place to do so, or the stupidity of players that post a screenshot or stream! the most common excuse is that it increases the FPS for the gameplayers. listen to those players that have a potato PC and cant handle ARK cause they go by the minimum requirements written for the game 5 years ago. go play rollercoaster tycoon the FPS issue is an issue adressed to wildcard and by now they should be actively engaging to fix this issue or atleast put enough launch perks into place to make it possible 1. Go into your steam games library 2. Find Ark Survival and right click it 3. Select properties 4. In the General tab, click: Set Launch Options... 5. Paste this in (remove **) **-USEALLAVAILABLECORES -sm4 -d3d10 -nomansky -lowmemory -novsync -high** with game althering ini settings screen effects can be completely removed , the reshaders can make your game look like mario bros out of 1983 turning enemy players into a beacon of light or actually a dot without any light. structures can be rendered before the terain making it absolutly impossible to hide. now in the official code of conduct wildcard states however NOTING IS INTO PLACE TO CHECK OR CONTROLL THIS WILDCARD OFFCIALLY HAS NO WAY OF CHECKING WHAT YOURE RUNNING IN YOUR PRIVATE FILES ON YOUR PC all this can be easily solved by encrypting the console variables and other INI settings. in a previous tweet from wildcard they stated that INI changing is the same as switching your gamma , which is a delusional statement on its own. which essentially means these people cant fix it or dont want to fix it. they also state in the same code of conduct that if youre in one tribe with a cheater or hacker you risk getting banned aswell and that they always must be reported no matter what. UNLESS YOURE PART OF A 50+ PLAYER MEGA TRIBE LIKE HYDRA OR GANG GANG again as stated in previous emails wildcard ! wether you wanna keep this garbage over on your official network fine with me ! however give the unoffcial servers a detection or automated reset console variables on the load screen. its been over 3 years its time for your to fix this stuff.

where is the server support all moved to epic store? Since the free epic store launched the "free" servers are real crap sorry but that is the right word for it. We where used to bad servers but servers going down whole time. My main server is now down for more then 24h I know there are servers it seems down for a week now? what kind of bad support is this. the report site is a real joke it seems no update nothing you leave your email behind for nothing. What kind of anniversary is this one that reminds us that wildcard did not learn anything in all this years it seems. Communicate with you players on what is happening on your official forum it is like you are messing with all your players on official servers.

Asia-PVE-PS4Official-Ragnarok532 not working Server has been down for 3 to 4 days now. Iv submitted ticket and no reply or fix. Thanks wild card probably going to lose my stuff again because u dont listen to the customers as usual

Fix ur fecking servers Got thrown off smalltribes12 server (mid air on mana) cause of immense server ping. and can’t reconnect. Keep getting ur raptorinf message that says “connection timeout” Honestly fix your goddamn servers. If i lost my tame and kit i expect full reimburst.

Taming Bloodstalkers is ridiculous How on earth can you think that it's balanced to make it so you need multiple HUNDRED if not over a thousand blood packs to tame even a LOW LEVEL Bloodstalker, honestly what is wrong with you absolute clowns.

Xbox one extinction 999 someone ddossing server now enforcement team? Someone please stop the ddossing on Xbox server extinction 999

New addition to ark I think it would be interesting if you could mix a certain amount of dinosaurs to make a super Dino like mixing a trike with a t-Rex or something along those lines and more mythical creatures would be cool to because there isn’t much left to choose from to put into the game I think this idea would have add a new perspective of how to play the game

Arbitrary destroying of my base by GM on pve I have two bases on ragnarok388 pve. Lately i have not been on ragnarok as much as i used to but haven been rendering my bases everyday. Spending time to harvest resources and feeding my dinos. One day i log on and find on one base a lot of stuff has 'auto decayed'. This should not have happened as i've been around every day on both bases. So much has decayed that it scrolled off my tribelog. When i looked in my cryofridges i found all my dinos died in fridge. The tek replicator which contained a lot of resources and valuables was also gone. This to me was a big loss. I rebuild part of the base and went to my other base to take care of the other dinos. Not long after i found that the decay also meant i lost the cave under the lighthouse that was intended to be my waterbase. The cliffplatforms that were there also decayed and someone else immediately moved in and build his stuff up there. the only thing left was my tekgate blocking the entrance of the cave. I got a bit carried away because all of this and build a second gate on top of the tekgate. it didn't block this person but it made it a bit more inconvenient. A few days later, when i logged in i found that all the gates around my primary base have been removed with the message that i should stick to the COC. This opened my base up to everything in the highlands that could be a threat. People who had dinos parked inside my base for protection lost their dinos because a giga came around and killed their dinos. My base has always been a safe haven for newcomers as the spawn point was protected from wild dinos, with a small building in which they could find some tools and armor to take. If i was not around there were instructions on a billboard explaining how they could get out of the base. In other words, i have not blocked any players with my base. In addition to all this: WC has not only removed all my gates around my base but also the gates on my other base in the redwoods, together with all the tekboxes there and in my main base just 2 tekboxes that contained my element and dust. So in the last two weeks i've lost close to a thousand dinos in pod and big parts of my 2 bases have been demolished inspite of me being around on a daily base. On top of this all, some months ago over 2k of element disappeared from my vault (locked in a locked base). I have put in a ticket on this and nobody ever bothered to even reply to this. This really has put me off ark. There is no fair play on official servers and i do feel like i'm targeted to remove myself from this server. I've put almost 10k hours the last 18 months in this game building up a good base, helping others start on this server, defending WC inspite of the lag and crashes. This is how WC repays one of their most loyal customers? Screw this game.

Pressure plates limited to 2 per area Is there a code or a way to get more than 2 pressure plate in a area. I'm trying to set up a game where I have 6 pressure plates next to each other, they would be linked to certain doors. The player would step on the same color pressure plate as the door and the door would open for the other player. Its basically a puzzle for 2 people to run and at the end they get a prize. I just need a way to get 6 pressure plates together. Same thing for tek sensors. Can you make a code for this?

X creatures So in my opinion x creatures are just not worth the time it takes to tame them. Yea they are powerful to a point but there is a big difference between tamed and wild creatures. Ex- if you have a tamed meglodon vs a wild meglodon both same lvl 9 out of 10 the wild one will kill the tame one its just not worth the wait and time to find a max lvl one. Might as well just tame a tex rex lol but really they need to be reworked

Survival Improvments for the Best survival game Hello Fellas, My name is Philipp (I am from Germany, sorry for my bad English skills <3) As you can read its about some Survival Improvments for the Game. We all love ARK and i only wish the best for this beautiful game i noticed that many people are leaving the game and the number of "arkers" are slowly shrinking so i came up with the idea that some survival improvments could bring all the people back to the game (and i know there are some pvp aspects too but i think ark is a better survival game as a pvp game and i would love to see ark back on the top charts again or people are joining again back to ark <33 so here are some of the imprvoments that i think ark needs this (sorry again i hate my gramma) Improvment Nr 1 A day night cycle for each dino + sleeping to skip night : I think its important to say that curently the only creature in ark where can sleep is the megalosaur, and i think thats great! Its basically a great start imagine we all see sleeping dinosaurs at night or a pack or direwolfs tired from hunting Mammoths. My suggestion is that each dinosaur has it own day night cycle for example raptors are more agrassive during night and during day they are less agrassive and sometimes they are sleeping in one specivic spot under an tree or in a little nest. Just imagine how big it would be with all dinos or another example trikes are sleeping during night and sleep together in a group to protect them selves from the hunting raports. I need to say this is one of my biggest change ideas so its not so important it would be nice tho... And at least a sleep mechanic for singleplayers only to skip the night. Improvement Nr 2 sanity for humans : As we all know some people can get very mental but how it would be for our humans in ark? Imagine if u as a human kill another player and u gain sanity for it and it can be gained to by seeing or defeating some speacial enemys like giant spiders or giant skorpions or spimply eating human meat or (eat poop) ... or u didnt sleep for an couple of days. I mean it would be a massive change but it would be really cool here are my thoughts for the sanity scaling - Sanity starts by 100% if you kill another human or gaint insects or do other cruel things u lose 1 - 10 % sanity - Sanity can be gained by sleeping or by peting your dinosaurs for example the lystro or baby dinos you can gain sanity by eat a healty meal or by reading the explorer notes etc. just normal and friendly things. if you have 100% sanity u gain a slight movement speed bonus and resistance Sanity scaling -- 100% Bonus movement speed and resistance -- 90% slight decrease of the gamma and light you see ( it gets darker) -- 80% slightly deacreased movment speed and resistance ( from here u lose the 100% bonus effects only if you hit 100 % again u get the stats back) -- 70% it gets darker a bit just a bit and the ambiente gets more creepy -- 60 - 50 % you sometimes hear voices from dinos screaming or just a little itchy sound -- 40 - 30% more deacreased movement speed healing effects are less effective -- 20% if you look at trees now they beginn to look like other players u recently killed or if its dark u cant look directly into a forest instead u see darkness and some eyes blinking at you -- 10 - 0% you beginn too hear even more creepy voices and u slowly losing hp until you die Note: you can turn it on off servers and its adjustable in the config I personally think its great it gives a slight touch to the survival Other ideas right now: - Drinking system for dinos - Water filtering instead of drinking dirty or salty water - More overahaul for Humans and tlc passes for dinos - Some little insects flying around poop or corpses - More ambiente for the underwaterworld like little fishes ( uncatchable and killable) - When spiders or scorpions sting you u get paralyzed - Dino Pet mechanics just for fun And many more even some PvP (but not many) aspects. So dear wildcard and other fellas thats it for my part 1 improvments, i have many other ideas but i would like to see your opinios first before i continue i would love to see ark back again on the top of the game section <33 bye, stay awesome Ps: i am open for new ideas or improvements and if u want u can contact me : my discord id is #5101

Genesis Broke So Much (Weapon Scale, Kibble, FPS) List of issues I've been able to observe and find. I apologize ahead of time for the large screenshots but I couldn't be bothered to scale them down. EDIT: This is also on Aberration, I tested it on every dlc I do own which is SE and Aberration and it's the same on those too as well as vanilla/free maps so it's not a map issue. Having made a few mods I doubted that could even happen but it's worth testing. EDIT 2: This is also on PC if that wasn't obvious. But I did the same testing on Xbox and can't get screenshots of that, these issues are across all platforms save for mobile. A friend has it on PS4 and could confirm it there, no idea on mobile. • I noticed this immediately but my ~200% crossbow is hitting the same damage as my 100% (standard) crossbow. That being 95 with standard arrows and 35 with tranq arrows. I also noticed that some melee weapons are also not scaling, such as the Pike and Sword. I haven't bothered testing with guns or anything of the sort because I'm honestly not going to even play until this is fixed. (ignore the camarasaurus it was the closest thing to me to show this issue and yes it's the same on vanilla dinos too) • Kibble vanished from not only vanilla cooking pots (and I tested if I could still craft it and no, you can't) as well as from SS aka Super Structures cooking pots. Literally cannot be made. (Screenshots included only of SS since there's nothing a screenshot can show of the vanilla cooking pot) • Way more lag spikes and random FPS drops, I had to drop my settings from Epic down to High to keep above 60 FPS, which isn't much for me but for people who don't have the money to spend on powerful PCs this can be the breaking point for the game being playable or unplayable. Likewise it's going to keep people away.

Hardcore genesis servers I think it’s extremely disrespectful for wild card to not put at least 1 hardcore server for genesis on both platforms it doesn’t matter if only one person in the world plays on hardcore cause that person paid his/her hard earned money to enjoy it so they should get it....me and all my friends will definitely be requesting a refund

I GOT SCREWED!! So I was interduced to ark threw my son watching YouTube videos. Always finding myself saying "what the hell game is this again?" so I thought itd be a good idea to get it for my 8yr old. So after I jumped on this thing called ark, I instantaneously realized "what the hell kinda game is this". So after dying 400x and taking days to even know what the hell was going on let alone save. I started the survival. Once I was established my boy picked right up on it too. It's buggy as hell, iv errored out a million times, I know I got shafted on the switch version. But with that said it was enough to hook me...bad. My son now has it for his switch and between mine and his we have over 250hrs in and that's mainly sp or just us two. SO.. I get absolutely no DLC and by the sounds of it I won't get genisis either! I don't have the money to buy a computer or Xbox or I would, just for ark maps. Even on the switch port I managed to get hooked and would easily drop more money into it, even with all the bugs and absolutely no updates I want more.. I just don't understand why they neglect the switch port(well I do cause its the switch port) when theres obviously people ready to help the ark name in the switch world. Anyone else stuck with the switch version but still loves the hell outa it?. I'm sure there's others bitching too, but Its been bugging me and had to get it out.. poop it wasn't even easy to sign up for an account on this.. No switch to pick. I had to write my first dlc? Iv haven't got to play one but that wasn't a valid answer.. But whatever. #THINKOFTHESWITCH!

I lost all my stuff to blue screening.... Lost my gear tames over 20+ in cryos on rag server please fix it. This is the craziest thing like are you kinding me. Plus lost my 101 character completely can't even log on. #Update??

Rescinding my Boycott, Good job Wildcard! Keep it up! I must say Wildcard, I am impressed with what you've done. For the last few months I have called for a boycott on Wildcard because of the issues with the game, I wasn't going to buy the new season pass untill my expectations had been met. Well.. they have been met, not exceeded unfortunately, but good enough for me to say, "Good job on fixing the game up some more!" So I rescind my call for a boycott. They clearly are getting their poop together for the most part and I'm happy to tell them so! Keep it up Devs and GMs! Yall are doing great!

Add more dinos into ARK I personally believe that ARK is a wonderfull game of endless possibilities and a bright future if Wildcard keeps going as they have done since release. All DLC's are great ( with SE as an exception ) and the graphics are amazing, BUT... I do not like how the Genesis DLC is looking so far, from what I've seen it's more about mythical creatures and fantasy than actuall history accurate dinosaurs. I really like ARK and want it to stay the way it is with slight changes such as bug fixes and updates. I don't know if Genesis it the ending for ARK and that ARK 2 is going to contain more of the Dinosaur content as a whole but I don't want ark to change into Monster Hunter. Anyways awesome game Wildcard, keep it up.

Caging needs balancing! As the title says I believe something needs to be done with the ARK imprisonment system. But rather than saying that something needs done I am going to dive into how and why caging in ark is used, why something needs to be done about it, and what can be done about it. So to start off I play ARK off and on all the time purely for the pvp. The pvp in ARK is so fun and intriguing something that you really cannot find in any other game. You have so many different ways and tactics to gain an advantage over the other player its unreal and because of this I been playing this game since its launched and now have over 6k hours sank into the game. But at the same time because of the games mechanics there are alot of ways to ruin others experience one being caging. So what is caging? Caging in ARK is essentially knocking another player out unconscious then throwing handcuffs on them, filling their inventories up til they cannot jump or move, then putting them into a comfy room attached to a bed next to an AC so the player cannot die of hunger or dehydration fast. Why is caging so overpowered? I would say if you are placed in a room guarded by turret's, attached to a bed, and AC next to you it would take anywhere from 1-2hours for your character to starve and die including eating your poop. Now some might say well thats not too bad but if you are anyway familiar with large tribes on official you will know people take this game very very seriously, infact so seriously that people make prison's like the one im stuck inside right now with about 10-20 other players. And the people in these large tribes setup timers that go off every 1-2hours to go knockout prisoners and feed/water them its nuts. And someone like me who can only play 1-2hours a day due to college its hard to just logon and try to kill myself. So when I get caged i usually just take a month or 2 off the game but its different this time. The tribe we are going up against only cages, so if you get picked they are going to knock you out and put you in this prison its the only way they play the game. So there's no getting out of this one for me unless I start a new character but 1 times xp thats a pain in the ass plus losing all tek engrams no thank you. Hopefully you can see how this is a large problem for players like me. Another thing that makes it overpowered is there is little to no time or material's invested into caging someone at most you are using a couple of medical brews, narcotics, and 1 custom food and drink per feeding session that only takes probably 1-2min per person. Now that I have stated why its overpowered let me go over some mechanics that I think can help the ark caging situation a lot. So one thing that could help caging is by not allowing people to attach unconscious players with handcuffs to bed's or chairs. To be honest I dont know why this was a thing anyway it just isnt fair or atleast let us struggle out of handcuffs while tied down. Another thing that can be done is to add durability to handcuffs. Adding durability to handcuffs will make caging alot more of an investment considering a player will have to swap out cuffs when one pair breaks due to the prisoner struggling with them on. My third suggestion would be to increase the rate at which a prisoners food and water go down when handcuffed. And one final suggestion would be to increase the amount of health feces deals to the player when ate this will increase the amount of food drained and also help a player die in the situation where it is needed. Thank you for reading this post if you made it this far it seems like a lot but I do believe this will help the pvp community alot and I noticed with the new meshing changes that wildcard does care about their pvpers. Just please wildcard do something about the caging it's way to overpowered and needs to stop I will supply a couple photos that you can see to get a glimpse of what its like inside of an official server prison. Hopefully will see you on the other side of this prison one day, Thanks, Beater Prison life (hopefully the link works) https://imgur.com/a/i5Z8ESn

Australian bushfire crisis Hi fellow survivors and Wildcard, I'm using this as a way to reach out to wildcard. Please, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. As most people have probably heard, Australia is going through a fiery hell on earth. States, such as South Australia, nsw, Victoria, Tasmania and Kangaoo Island, are currently on fire. So far, we have lost two fire-fighters, over 800 million animals (wildlife and pets), approximately 800 homes and buildings, 250 vehicles, about 75 people have lost their lives and it's been estimated that a few local species may go extinct. A lot of people are donating to the families who have lost everything and the animal rescues taking in injured koalas and other wildlife. My family was lucky, but many others were not. So, I'm reaching out to wildcard, for support. Would wildcard organise a charity event, similar as they do, where a certain amount of money is reached, and the breeding /raising /harvesting multiplier is increased? And the proceeds could go to an Australian charity currently helping with the fires. Such as RSPCA BUSHFIRE APPEAL. As an avid survivalist of this game, I know myself and many other Australian survivors, would be greatly appreciative. Anyway, I was nervous about posting this, but it was something that crossed my mind while going through my tames today, after reading that Delta Goodrem, Elton John, Chris Hemsworth have donated 1 million each. And Pink has donated 500k. So, Wildcard, please contact me about this idea. And fellow survivors, if you think this is a good idea, please let them know. Australia needs you

This all is not normal. I remember time when i was playing instead support wildcard dev was helping me and refunded items/dinos. Then i remember time when there didn't had every 15 min save lag transmitter/drop/obelisk (transfer timer), i remember time when offical server running smoothy without any crashing only was high ping because a lot people was on server thats all. Now 2019-2020 every server crashing, high lagging, save lag system and etc they can't even fix bugs what is more than month not fixed they can't even answer to community in forum to threads . . . If you go testing Atlas game It's running on newest unreal engine what is plus that they can do more performance, new features and more realistic textures, servers never laggy and it's running another system like example you sailing with boat from A1 to A2 and its loading in-game you fast to another server so every region have own server that why servers not laggy also there dosen't have transmitter like transfer items like on ark. I know that when Atlas was launching first time releasing there was a lot lags then i was not playing after some months i was joining after some patch fixes. You can also check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LafTDcNpe2Q what i am talking about new engine, new features etc. But ark is on old version engine and if they somehow move to new version engine they should make all textures, mods and etc again reworking them. They can fix ark if they want but they just working on dlc thats all and dosen't care about community. Wildcard you should lisen ark community players they know more about game because they play everyday and most people is old players which have 10000+ hours or more and those people know more what happens on ark. Also you can hire players beta testers to test beta patches and make beta patches on another server so then they will feedback patches and it's will be easier to fix if you will better community with players. I know wildcard you can fix game/offical servers/performance/save lag system/server lags/bugs/glitches if you want but your all is busy making new dlc out. Sometimes when some topic gets hot icon and it's critical issue wildcard is answering to that topic but wildcard you should allocate more time to this forum and community and answers to players so they know more information what happen example with they servers. PS: A lot text but worth to read and discussion about this thread and what you think about all this situation.

Array Count Error Hopefully someone here can answer this question because I have tried every simple solution I've seen while researching the issue. I just installed ark on my new PC today and started encountering issues fairly early, servers not loading as I thought the top server being a 20/120 at 2pm was odd. Should I just give up on the game? (Hopefully a dev can fix what's wrong lol)

Downloading Xbox Account, Ark Data & Bugs I had to redownload my Xbox live account to get past Arks loading screen awhile back because of a bug in the game that I hope has since then been fixed. My question, or suggestion or however you would take this stems from when I redownloaded my Xbox Live account on my Xbox One and opened ARK, my character was there too use, but my base, all my Dinos I had tamed and bred, including boss rexes that took to say the least AWHILE to breed were all gone. What I would like to ask... is if one of your customers, like me for example, spent money on an Xbox One X to upgrade from just an Xbox One, would we lose ALL of those days, weeks, months, even years in some cases of progress of building and taming when we download our Xbox Live Account on our new system and start playing? If so I was really hoping and praying this is something you can change. When we download our accounts on to a new system we shouldn't just get our character we should get our GAME that we have saved on our accounts. Bases, Tames, etc. All right where we left them. That is where the real time in this game goes, and if you lose it that easily it is really hard to want to keep playing. My suggestion is you guys should really work on backing up the data surrounding a character/account including builds, tames, and all the map data in general. If there is some reason this can't be done then I would really like to hear it because that definitely should of been something to consider when you designed the scope of this game and the time it takes to play it. For PC and Consoles we should be able to back-up our map data or an entire save file to retrieve later if some bug wipes our games out. This has happened to me 3 times on single player. I have recently started again on single player and it seems to be working right for the most part for the first time ever, but I was still really considering quitting playing because progress in this game is VERY time consuming and we shouldn't have to lose all that just because you guys update the game and then bugs run wild. Please figure out away to just get our whole save file backed-up, or it at least gives us our whole save file, map data, tames, builds and all when we download our Xbox/PlayStation Accounts on a new system. It is only fair, because I dont know if I could continue to ever play this game again if I lose all my progress, builds and tames for a 4th time... Please look into this... Thank you for your time.
