Having log in issues on the app on android, seems to be a lot of others reviewing it the same. Please can we get a fix or troubleshoot for it. Thank you.

It has been weeks - that start to pile into months - since you have been notified of the numerous game breaking issues with Prim+ in PS4. You haven't addressed any of those, seeming you dont care nor respect the HUGE player base of PS4. The forges not working to provide the most essential materials to play Prim+ is totally game breaking. Coal is non existent anymore, industrial forges and cooker not working. Are you Wildcard people planning to address tese issues or you just dont care?? The PS4 player base that paid for your bugged game is not important? Are you just going to ignore us or will you have at least the basic decency of letting us know what is going on?? Because of course your terms and conditions state very clearly that you wont refund the paying customer no matter how crappy your product is. Good move. Yes, I am enraged and I think it is justified. FIX IT!

Dear Team Why did anyone here purchase ark switch? cause we love ark and we love to play it on the and tv, yes myself I have a ps4 pro which does a amazing job at ark but the switch version just has a magic that you guys can fix I don't know what your teams issue is with funding the fix for switch did you not forget that we paid for the game ? Please look into this and fix the game the switch version deserves fixes

I'm not sure why the developers do this they seem to want to make the game worse for us. They not only want us to play the game on poor servers but the housing we create doesn't even fully seal as it. They add more building customization and that would be awesome if there serves could support what they've already got I it. The lag is just massive horrible on some servers because people want to treat ark like mind craft and build stupidly big with no consideration of others. I live in the desert in scorched earth my adobe house is completely sealed but yet i get effected by sand storms and heat waves in my own house. Maybe the developers should fix the old problems before creating more. I wish wild card showed more pride and effort in their game after all they made us pay to be their test dummies they should make a little more effort to make a better product. I've lost creatures to lag to glitches where they've fallen through the world not once has wild card helped me. They rather watch us suffer it's disgusting. I was insided on pvp Christmas day I refuse to let anyone new in my tribe I blame wild card for this I've had 2 gigas stolen from me they take 2 weeks to raise wild card days they wont help they dont care but they're the ones allowing pvp in pve servers when will they actually take responsibility for anything?

Seriously. I understand that there's a "high volume" of tickets currently and that it takes time, but there's ALWAYS a high volume on ANY game everywhere. I mean it! Almost any game ever worth playing has a "high volume" of tickets. But more than a week? Really? Come on Wildcard. Get your act together.

Dear Wildcard, Are there any future plan's to improve server ddos protection and server quality? (Mainly on ragnarok maps.) I love Ark and spend hundreds If not thousands of hours in it since the early access launch on ps4 and its just such a nice game, but... I've noticed that the servers you guys are using cant keep up with the players their large bases and huge packs of dinos. Ive been in a mega for quite a while now and game crashes and server disconnections have become a regular thing on our server and im certain almost all of the servers have the same problem Everytime a big base loads in there are just low frames, sometimes it are just still images and rubberbanding around the base. And everytime we go out and attack a server it's spending more time in the loading screen then in the actual game itself because the servers can't handle the amount of players. I love this game, more then any other game I've ever played. But please devs, fix your servers. It would be a shame to see your community fade away slowly cause of these problems.

So I joined a small teibe server on Ragnarok number is 32 for PlayStation4 that is getting ddos and now I can't transfer back to my server that I have been playing on. What can I do about this? That would let me keep my character that I have all tekgrams from hard center boss on

I've finally had it with ark. This game's trailer is amazing and shows ark's true potential although. Over the years of me having the game, here are the issues (I play on xbox) I will also try to address them on the way. 1. New players, New players are not the issue themselves. The issue is how ark deals with new players. When I was a new player I was given the official servers to play. Then I was just threw in the game. NOTHING told me what to do. Luckily arks community cover'd for it since I was able to watch videos to eventually get up to a experienced level. Wildcard need to make a effort on them people that spend loads of money on a game needs to see this. 2. Servers/optimisation, Optimisation is Horrific and I feel like wildcard let everybody down here. Lets say you just grinded for 7-8 hours. You have a stone base. Metal tools and you go out to tame a animal... Lets say a raptor. You just gained a lot of narcotics. And the server can do a lot of things to sabotage you. It might completely kick you out of the game. (This happened on xbox) or the game lags so bad that only your device isn't playing. Meaning in the game your getting attacked but you can do nothing about it. Or maybe it will just lag consistently without a way of knowing. (To deal with this, If you believe you are lagging, Check your stamina when you run. If it is moving, you are not lagging) Then the official servers. Oh my god these are dreadful. I have played on servers where there is a average of 2 minutes without a lag spike. This is horrific. ESPECIALLY when you take in account how long ark it self takes to play without the server issues. My point is, Ark should be about surviving the creatures and building up. worrying about them things instead of worrying about lagging out while flying high and never getting that bird that took you HOURS to tame. 3. AI AI is probably one of the best things a game can offer. It truly makes the game unique. For example, the dodic. if set on wondering can collect rock for you. Just amazing. It makes the game feel more engaging. The therizinosaurus has a complete upgrade option to choose how he auto collect stuff for you! Now I'm going to split this into to halfs. Wild dinosaurs and tamed dinosaurs. Wild dinos - This is THE most important part of the game. The dinosaurs themselves. Just a normal question, Why does a rex kill EVERYTHING it can see. Without ever stopping. How stupid is that? this annoys me because of this. I went looking for a 150 female rex. I found one, although my issue was I had just tamed a low level pt since I was giving them away. I land the pt close to me but not the rex and then the rex I went to tame came at 5 of these things, That killed the rex in seconds. Why?? This is just stupid. Also... Lets say you are getting wyvern eggs, Your dinosaur's stamina is running low. Well WYVERNS HAVE UNLIMITED STAM. So you can only hope on wildcards buggy coding to save you or just use trees. Tamed dinos - As I said at the start I am a xbox player. I loved the new centipede strat. where you don't need C4. I think it is great. but ark got in the way again, I went to raid a base where the turrets were player only meaning my centipede could just walk up there destroy gen and I would be in. But THE GAME Declined. instead I couldn't whistle my centipede to attack. He would respond to everything but RB and down on the dpad. He wouldn't do it. no matter what. I then went back and decided to test it on a wiped base before. That worked. Wildcard are just disrespectful. It almost feels like I was robbed. and got a 60 pound game for TRIPLE the price. 4. Responce. For example lets say I get this popular and a lot of people agree that ark needs a MAJOR re-work. Not with how things work but the mechanics. They will not do anything. They don't at all. This is really just a give us your money and we will give you a 20% game. Lets see if you notice. Like I do notice! If there is one thing I want you to take from this, It is this. Ark could be this amazing game that you don't feel like you are getting robbed. but right now It feels like a rust drop out. So that is basically it. without me talking for a good 2-3 hours. But seriously, Wildcard. Please. The ark community is salty af but thats what we like about the game. We like how you can raid and build and on official. The only rule is don't cheat. So alpha will make the rules. This game is nothing without your community that loves your game so much. Please fix the game. We need you too. You know there is more you can do. So please... If you read all of this thank you. I hope I mention'd everything.

It is the end of the year and it was a rough one for WildCard. Extinction was a disappointment but people still bought it since we still believe that ark could become that game that never stops growing. However, things never were completely fixed. All the bugs from the beginning are still here and massive NERF happened a few days ago to perhaps the dino that made Extinction Worth it. Strictly speaking business they have a formula that has worked for them over the past 3 years. They have a formula and that formula is to over sell what they don't have to offer. Took me a long time to realize but I all makes sense now. Worst, we all fell for it! It was a genius marketing formula. And dam it if I say it it is exactly what our president used...AND IT WORKS. Lie, lie, and lie, and slowly but surely it becomes the truth. Surely now Ark is now run by negative publicity but it is working. However, there is a use limit to this type of advertising. It is funny to realize that we all have been bamboozle by Wildcard. It is even harder to explain how we can explain thousands of hours of playing in a game that everyday constantly frustrates us. But we have to realize that this is sadly not the best game, It is not revolutionary, it is not unique, and even less completed. We all have to remember the Trendy Vs Wildcard court battle about the WildCard shady business in which they [WildCard] had to settle for about 30 Million dollars for stealing company employees and allegedly company secrets. Or as Trump would say, "great business". But still, it is always fun to remember the past to see where we are going to the future. If not, we are bound to make the same mistakes. So now WildCard trying to be sneaky they decided to NOT called themselves Wildcard on the development of that new game...Sea of Thieves, sorry, I mean Atlas in order to mask that whole bad publicity they have gotten from Ark Survival Evolved (Now they are "GrapeShot Games"). But as their past shows in their [WildCard] court battle they are not as smart as they think. They openly say that GrapeShot games is halve of their staff including lead designers of ark. Funny enough in the lawsuit according to most major gaming magazines WildCard Argued that Jeremy Stiglitz or whatever his name is was never a lead designer of Ark. But look at what he says on his Tweeter! Not to mentioned that part of the big deal with his wife was that when she created wildcard with him she used her maiden name to avoid the connection of her husband [Jeremy Stiglitz] to wildcard. If this doesn't tell you how Atlas will be...nothing will. But please don't say you were not warned. It is time to let the Ark sink into the depth of the Sea and stop complaining or working for free for Wildcard as we write free ideas for them to later exploit us for money. I don't know if people realized but all the great ideas/fix ideas that you can see on Atlas came from the forums of Wildcard asking us the gamer to indirectly work for them for free. Giving them fun stories, giving them good ideas for character development, giving them good ideas for everything Atlas is now trying to charge just to start incomplete as Ark once started. Enjoy ark while you sill like it. But save your tweets for better uses. There is no reason why we should keep tweeting these guys. Things will not change. I also wished they had a delete account from this website/forum. They don't because they now people would use it and let go of ark... I vote for a delete account setting permanently! what do you guys think about this? I think as far as we go this is where the Ark hits that giant mountain and all the animals leave the ark. There is no point in complaining anymore about what can they do or not do to ark or any other game they release.

Okay. So me and my gf have a server that I rented from nitrado. It's called, (EU) Fallen Kingdom (PVE) and we play it together on xbox, but lately it has been a struggle to play because when we load into the game for the first time it will randomly kick us out for no reason, then we spend about an hour trying to join back, but it keeps giving us an UNKNOWN ERROR. It's starting to get really annoying and I've tried stopping/restarting the server, resetting my xbox, restarting the wifi, but it's a swing or miss. I've been researching it and it seems to be a common issue that wildcard caused with an update and that they are aware of but it has not been fixed. Any Suggestions?

I have paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars and I have played since day one. Xbox and mobile. I’ve put so many hours in it’s not even funny. I buy amber every week. I logged in today to see my smithy, with 40k pearls, among TONS of other stuff, my fabicator, with thousands of cp, polymer, bullets you name it, and 2 bookshelves close by with all my best blueprints that I grinded AND PAID HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR VIA EXTRAVAGANT PRESENTS TO MYSELF; especially my master fab sniper rifle, my master riot gear, my flak EVERYTHING. My base is protected with tons of towers. Prob at least a hundred or more turrets and plant x. I have no body in my tribe, besides for my own other accounts. My doors are locked, nothing else was destroyed, or touched. Either the update somehow did something, or someone exploited a bug to glitch through everything and my base and walls and cheated and hacked there way to screwing me kver WICH IS NOT OKAY. I am a huge supporter, wildcard I am requesting a rollback. This is so messed up I literally logged hundreds of hours and dollars into that stuff. I have un allied everyone in case a Allie used the glitch if that’s what it was. In either case. I should get my stuff rollbacked. My in game name is Dedejea The Seeker, I play on farmer easy pvp, I took a screen shot of the tribe log,

So I've been googling and watching videos - and am learning that even though wildcard added the tek replicator engram as a loot box you can get from an OSD - I'm seeing it's useless and can't be used? I see you can't drag it from your inventory to the supply crate like it wants, and can't build it in your inve. Only other ways are defeating a Titan or a boss from other maps right? Is wildcard planning to fix this "feature"??

Been a few weeks now of this new DLC and let me tell you it is a great map...but that is about it. I want to put this into perspective.... here are all the patches and perhaps some side notes for each. In other words my thought. Current ARK Official Server Network Servers Version: v286.104 Patches, when they occur, are conducted Tuesdays at 10 am PST unless otherwise stated. Current Version: 286.104 - Disabled element veins due to base destruction issues, will be re-enabled at a later time Main feature off due to failure to test before launch. 286.103 Aberration - Enabled transfer of all Extinction Expansion Pack dinos to Aberration (except Snow Owl) This makes no sense... why not the owl? one good reason! there is none. very similar to the decision of why aren't thylas allowed in bosses. Gacha - Fix for Gacha's sad effects not playing properly clearly the game wasn't tested enough. this is a basic feature of only 5 or 4 new dinos on this map. - Fixed bug where taming didn't decay over time - Fixed bug where taming didn't reset when a different player/tribe started taming - Fixed bug where taming was always at 100% effectiveness is there even one good reason they didn't dotame a dino on testing? Seriously! - Set Gacha to have a lower chance of dropping an item when wild This is extinction...you would expect better drops than on other maps...but you would be wrong. Also, yellow drops are not any better than blue. is completely random. - Adjusted Gacha loot to skew towards lower quality rolls being more common Understandable... - Increased Gacha affinity gained per level to match other dinos of similar size - Reduced the max quality of generated items to a more appropriate amount - Adjusted how much food Snow Owl pellets give - Fixed issue with disappearing saddle Gasbags - Made Gasbags like their favorite taming food again I am guessing they didn't tamed all dinos with kibble on testing stages...this is inexcusable. Cryopod - Fix for XP exploit I can understand this. - Disabled ability to cryo rafts and motorrafts They literally said on their live stream this was already fixed....apparently not lol - Disabled ability to cryo Cryosick dinos - Cryo sick dinos take 10x damage If the dino is already unconscious why should they add 10x more damage? this is DUMB Orbital Supply Drop Element Vains currently off... MAIN FEATURE of 4 new FEATURES OFF...explain that to me... FIXED - Enabled Element Veins - Fixed issue with certain OSD mode networks - Fixed issue where crate could respawn in the same location after crate landed Velonasaur - Fixed issue with spines floating after a dino mesh is harvested too quickly. - Fixed stamina issues with Velonasaur getting in a state where it was stuck charging stamina without doing an ability. Velonosaur wastes stamina a lot...and still to this day (11/16/2018) some of them are stuck loosing stamina. (not completely fixed). - Fix for Velonasaur being able to ground boss flyers Dino Leash - Added smaller radius for breeding Mek MEks ARE off at the moment. Another main feature off...(kinna fixed) - Fix for Mega Mek regaining health - Set Mek pistol to be unable to damage metal or tek - Increased damaged to Mek when in siege mode - Disabled shield retracting when Mek is still flying upward - Fixed issue with Mek shields preventing the buffs/debuffs from applying - Prevented shield from deploying within range of enemy turrets - Mek siege cannon and missile pod projectiles move slower and can now be properly targetable by turrets - Adjusted Mek charge-up for siege to be quicker - Adjusted Mek drag weight to match their size - Auto-colorize Mek backpacks with the Mek's colors Snow Owl Snow owls can freeze on pve Other players to ruin tames or troll... - Fix bug that caused players to go into a weird state after being affected by its ice bomb - Snow Owl encapsulate healing amount is now based on the Owl's base health instead of the healed dino's base health - Set Owls to not 'poop' so frequently so they are a more rare resource Managarmr Managarmr glitch float, glitch on behemoth gates, and glitch on rocks... - Now requires half second pass before allowing another forward dash after jumping. - Adjusted ice breath to not be usable directly behind you on the ground. - Fixed Managarmr laying carno eggs - Fixed issue with damage calculation - Fixed issue with FOV calculating incorrectly when user has a non-default FOV setting. Enforcer - Hid blank buff that appeared when blinking with an Enforcer - Enabled Scouts and Enforcers to be crafted in the city terminals Scout AM i the only one who thinks this scout shouldn't waste element dust? also, the range is lame even for an ASc... - Scouts no longer drop eggs - Enabled Scouts and Enforcers to be crafted in the city terminals Titans Titans are glitch. boss music stuck for ever as titan tamed Roams around in the map. Forest titan corrupted zones to shoot are glitchy...very hard to hit. I mean, it looks like you are hitting it but no...you do more damage to tame. Also, areas where titans spawn shouldnt be buildable...or there should be a clear warning to not build there.... - Desert Titan node health fix - Titan beta/gamma health fix - Improved Desert Titan basing - Transmitter UI no longer shows Titan is downloadable during two hour download limit Translation - Chinese strings added Difficulty This is a LIEEEEEEEEE (Seen better spawns since updated yesterday) most dinos spawns are level 5, 10, 15...it is rare to see a 150...or Tek 180. - Set max Override Difficulty to 5 Extinction Map - Disabled meteor event for now due to meteors causing damage in unintended areas Another main feature off....this is terrible! (seems like the animation was left) no ingame effect anymore. - Fixed ice cave water spawner overspawning, added cave water spawner with hostile dinos - Updated spawn volumes to fix Beaverpocalypse - Updated Wasteland cavern water spawner volumes - Fixed sound radius for street lights, no longer can be heard by everyone in the area - Fixed various map holes - Converted all of the water ppvol DoF to use Gaussian settings matching those on the Island - Map streaming fixes - Water plane fixes - Fixed some floating resources - Fixed teleporting between domes breaking their effects - Dome streaming fixes - Updated drag weight values for dinos that did not have it set so they're not all pick-u This is a bit of a shame...the map design is very well done...but everything else...just leaves you in awe of how bad is working. Out of about 5 main new features...3 are OFF... I can understand how server population is falling every day on official servers... is annoying, makes the game not enjoyable, and worst of all...just proves that Wildcard keeps being wildCard. I hope for the sake of this great game...because one thing is true that this game is so great that even with the terrible job they do the game is still successful just because the core idea is amazing... it is starting to catch up with WildCard that bad DLC delivery is starting to hurt them. population was 70/70 on most official extinction...now is down to about 40/70. Revised 11/17/2018

Currently only the aberration primitive plus servers are up is there any information as to when the rest of the cluster will come back on ??

Okay. To start off, I'm hype for extinction. And I'm getting the ps4 all nice cooled up so I can melt the plastic case off. Lol. But I have a question. Is the Phoenix going to make a repealing in extinction, I feel like that easy question to ask. I feel like the Phoenix doesn't get any love, left all alone on scorched earth. And can't transfer him to different maps. As far I know there going to be somewhat a desert biome. It be nice to have on ragnarok. But if not I get it. But truly feel like some of the dinos don't get the cut. But I'm ready for extinction, hope we get some awesome skins like we got for aberration. And speaking of aberration, what is up with the frame rate, or loading map distance. Flying around on the rockdrake crash my game on ps4 several times. It's like I'm moving to fast that the game not loading the map fast enough. The other maps don't have that problem since you took away movement speed on fliers. And if anyone else having that problem.?

Why are all the PvE servers being server dino capped? Can there be anything done about it on Wildcard's end? Because obviously players can do very very little in a PvE situation. Also while we are on the topic of server tame limit, i played on several legacy servers and some of them were quite active in the way of players taming/breeding why were these servers never at cap? What has changed? This may just be me, but what about putting in a hard cap with how many servers a player (Steam account or other information that is harder to duplicate from one device) can be on? I understand this is a tribe game, but a tribe can get by with 500 dinos and they can do everything they need to do. The only thing i can see that can fix this, would be something on wildcard's end i simply don't know what or how i could even attempt to help get it fixed. (Btw the server i am playing on that got capped is a fresh server, so it's been on the official network for 4 days and it's capped)

What u think about offline Raiders Mega tribes? what would u Change if u can? in my oppinion i would bring out some new Servers with orp and where character Transfer is disabled. pls Read & replie so wildcard will Change it thx fluffy p.s. we are the Community WE can change it if WE stay as one!!!

We were in a server defence playing fair, we were being offline raided but got online in time to defend. As we finally killed their stuff and pushed them out of server, roughly 20 mins have passed and our server is being ddossed. It’s been over an hour and I believe it’s so they can go gear up and come back to attack before we have time to replace. I don’t know if it was then but it’s not rocket science. Please help as this is not fair game play

Need help asap server won't stop crashing everyone please help we got gigas raising email is [email protected]

You should refund everyone's money back as your game is broken and will always be just that. You choose to release more content over fixing problems. You prefer to ignore the problem and comments made by the people that pay your salarys. Your useless quality assurance team need to be fire. Your the only game that crashes because you logged in. Not just once but three times in a row before it will allows you to play. Who knows why. You would have to address the problem to know but you guys don't do that. You can play the game to its full potential without forfeiting the ability to play it. An example would be, my tribe is full tek and max tames but I can't move because the FPS dropped to 2 and blue screens cause it's overwhelmed. The bloom in your game is a joke. The liquid element will glow so bright that you the player can't even see the wyvern you riding. Oh damn blue screen again due to the wasted resources being use to fight you bloom effect. Times out regularly "it's not a problem on my end I have 150 wired connection." So nice try. Face it your game looks good and has a great concept but your and absolute joke when it comes down to quality of life, Playability. You can even load the server screen without it having issues. Think about it you freaking main menu is a laggy pos. That there should tell you "hey we need to fix this. At no point do you care about your player base. All you want is to release more content to suck in new players and distract the ones trying hard to enjoy your game from the gross neglect of your support staff. You are just as bad or worse then the no man sky fiasco. Surviving the ark is easy surviving wildcards short coming is the real game.
