[potent rock]

They do every single time lmao

[rough kiln]

Why not go spend the holiday with friends or family? And why complain about an update when its WC trying to fix their game? Its a video game, not a life or death situation, just pixels on a fancy light board.

I was adding a floor to my barn base when the servers went down smh

[nimble dirge]

Whole game is bugged. Hearing voice chat from some unknown players. Dude singing he’s a little teapot. Tried to relog and now I can’t get back in. So the baby bats might die because nobody can get on to keep render.

That babys are dead already bro accept it

[runic rivet]

Hopefully we dont get a big roll back

[formal fractal]

I think the size of the update you get depends on how many DLC maps you have installed. @civic bison can correct me if im wrong

[tacit crater]

While OP did go off the deep end, you went off the deep end just on the other side. Everything in life can be riddled down to its just ... Everyone doesnt visit family on Christmas Eve. I did that hours ago, I want to play games for the next 3 hrs. Yes I Want to enter a world created of pixels with beauty, sound, shining lights, the whole works on Christmas Eve. This type thing is starting to happen to often and these big host companies need to break it up and have better segments in their hosting.

[wicked anvil]

Wow never can go a day with out any issues no matter who fault it is. Always updates, for fixes. How about this @civic bison why don't you guys bring back the New Year's drop. And maybe got to someone besides Epic who don't have issues every month. Sorry for the rant. Merry Christmas everyone at WC and Ark community!!

Ark is the only game I have issues with. Player must be online . I reset everything still cant get on one would think they would fix it. No issues with bo7, minecraft, gta, 7dtd and so forth.

[clever garden]

how will we know wehn the servers are back up?

[rain relic]

@civic bison you guys should host a basics of game development series and host links in discord. you can show how systems operate and how responses to outtages like this work etc. So many people are posting strange comments that make no sense

[woven roost]

says the person wasting their time in an ark discord loser

[quasi mountain]

its my party and ill cry if i want to!

[somber glen]

Question. Does your body stay during server reboot? Or does that decay when the server goes down?

[civic bison]

!ban 1319573297477976104 7 usually I'd let this slide or let the mods deal with it but as I sit here on Xmas day to keep you guys updated, I will do this lil ban as a xmas treat

[fading dragon]

Dollie is just the messenger she's not a programmer nor can she fix things. Its like talking to customer service they take the info/ read off a book or just relay messages. Not her fault she just works for a company who has issues.

[spark raft]

Can we get 2 hr timer?

[old ether]

@civic bison can I have a role that says glooner as a Christmas gift

[civic bison]

[clever flume]

Legit question why can’t our hair grow like on evolved? @civic bison

[compact pike]

Merry Christmas everyone, despite the outage. As much as I am sure that dollie loves twisting arms 😏 it's kinds out of their hands til Epic gets their mess together.

[jaunty tide]

you won't find much appreciation in this discord sadly. Thanks anyway, happy christmas

[sage ridge]

and what is it that youre doing in here that makes you any better exactly?

[prime pivot]

Steam is FIXED. Epic is NOT fixed

[red fossil]

Thats been for a while...

[shell crane]

Why is Epic so abysmal lately? They were never this bad before. Now, it's an outage every to every other week. Ever since those massive cyberattacks, nothing's been the same (for both Nitrado and Epic). Hope they can get it fixed soon.

[soft ravine]

I just wanna know who meshed me on official and got got all my reapers I worked so hard to tame last summer bash and endured all the stress of the aberration red zone I hope they know how much of a piece of 💩 they are

[brittle acorn]

[onyx prism]

@civic bison, pls rollback for 6️⃣ or 7️⃣ hours, cuz bread tastes better than key

whilst true, WC did choose EOS as a provider so they do carry some responsibility

[spring kayak]

[red valley]

The great part about taking the servers down with no warning is now everyone gets to be in the same boat as Epic players. Flying while the shutdown happened? Good luck recovering your dino if it was your only one…

Let’s gooooo my babies will live

[broken silo]

Did the last patches break the updates? I'm downloading 194gb through steam.

[gaunt dawn]

🚧 LiveOps Update – Official Network Temporary Shutdown

Following our previous update, we’re now (in approx 15 minutes) taking the Official Network offline due to the ongoing Epic Online Services outage. This is a preventative measure to protect player progress, including characters, items, bases, and dinos, while Epic Online Services remains unstable.

We’ll keep the Official Network offline until Epic Online Services stabilises and we’re confident it’s safe to bring servers back up.

Thanks for your patience.

<@&992529417844826182> <@&992520031411896422>

[vivid glade]

Honestly, I think a rollback would be a nice thing to do for all you official players since it took them so long to decide to shut servers down. So many people are going to get screwed because of Epic. I feel bad for you all.

[proud lintel]

@civic bison @twilit grotto cant login, user not registered

[spice elbow]

At least put a message in game for taking down the server, people are going to lose babies and or get dragged into the water now.

[stiff ridge]

Does anyone know if the solwyn evolution bug has been fixed at all?

[raven flint]

Rollbacks cause more problems than they solve. Its a serious remedy for serious issues like blatant cheating/griefing... not to be used so you can get your tame back

[swift fog]

Cant login....whats the deal?

[brisk ice]

Chat, I'm here today to talk to you about your dinosaurs extended warranty

[velvet steeple]

Thank you guys for taking the servers down, hopefully ppl don’t lose too much progress if there’s a rollback

[bitter basin]

Its Wildcards way of screwing people one more time in 2025 and to make it extra special its during Christmas.

[raven zealot]

Ugh ..wheres pete brick?

[red valley]

Love the fact that I wasn’t in my base when servers got brought down with no warning, so now I have to sit here longer than I probably want for servers to come back online so I can make sure I don’t lose my stuff…

Honestly good for pvp so ppl can spend time with fam without the losers with no friends or family to offline ppl

[marsh turtle]

[boreal wind]

Its seems eos has not open an investigation yet which means no one is working on it

[dim whale]

love the fact you think epic games is going to give you some sort of warning before their service goes out

[velvet gale]

Only if you dress like a dodo

[marble burrow]

Agreeed

[woven void]

@civic bison any fix on veilwyn not being able to transform into solvyn..?

[red valley]

I wasn’t on Epic games. They took the official network down without a warning because SOME players were on Epic games and got shutout. So now everyone that had no clue (like me) that were out of their base doing stuff are going to have to camp just like the Epic gamers to make sure we don’t lose our stuff too…

[potent rock]

Wildcard needs to fix EPIC GAMES now, how dare wildcard be responsible for all these other games being down. Absolutely unacceptable!

[sonic peak]

Real pvpers dont ban you with the admin password like cowards they shut down the game for everybody or so I've been told 🤣

[quartz narwhal]

This is some elden ring Quentin terantino level comment gross
