It's not April fools though.
Unless there's legacy servers still around
Wait what if I got glob banned and bought the new ark back will I be unbanned?
I don't know.
My computer can barely run original ark, plus they’re gonna end years of effort, people are pissed
Bro this community is toxic asf lmao
Oh no not necessarily defending it as much as I'm tryna guess as the logic here
ok fair xD
but could we really do worse then snail
Yes
odds are the game owned by community would just gridlock as noone would agree what to do
Pve always getting shafted by pvp it's quite funny
Remember when they nerfed flyer speeds and they all cried like mad
The issue isn’t the end of Ark1, that has to happen. The fact they don’t transfer to UE5 and make you repay for it until Ark2 which is years behind schedule is an open insult to any respectable gamer !
if its not a joke wc made the dumbest mistake ever
I do wish they had more customization options in settings for us PvE players
They could just keep the servers for a couple years more
Yeah they really need to do separate the modes for QOL changes
At least until ark 2 releases fo real
i wish they gave pvp some attention
The servers are probably costing them way too much
They'll probs cut down alot of them
I'd bet the most dedicated tribes might have the committed playerbase to crowdfund their own Unofficial clusters where they can replicate the experience
Then do t release the damn unneeded remaster
Meh I think PvP has been the focus of most balancing and releases for quite awhile now
I swear if this 2024 isn’t April fools I’ll actually die
It's needed
I think gen 2 was a pve focused map
Cause they really didn't thin about the pvp balance releasing thaf shit
Yea 4 months yet Ark 2 is like almost 2 years away, and surely gets delayed a bunch too.
These 4 months until shutdown when they can’t even give us any sort of ingame footage, yet want us to pre purchase a cat in the box, is like a middle finger right in the face
I'd say it's a story-focused map, kinda like one big tall tale from SOT, so Ig that PvE but then compare it to the other DLC that aren't story-based a lot of em seem more PvE or general focused
They suck at developing Ark-2 fine, they could just take responsibility for their incompetence (many companies have and will release UE5 titles way before end of 2024) yea and keep Ark1 going until they get their shit* together
No ark 2 gameplay showage is wild
@viral shore what the actual you guys at wild card playing at you guys have a huuuge community and you just wanna stick up your middle finger up at us well if this happend be prepared for ark 2 to flop and alot of refunds as you just turned this somewhat respectful community bloodthirsty because like me most have way over 11k hours in this game so what u want us to do after spending over £100 for this game whatnto spend more on a game that you haven't even started it's going to flop
Demonstrated their mentality crystal clear though
Wipe asap even though they are nowhere near the stage to even give us a slight peek at the prequel we are ought to preorder …
Yep, it’s the second time it was delayed for a year. Annonced in 2020
Yea or at the very least maintain their shit until they have some more info, not just sink the ship without even knowing if they have lifeboats even lmao
only cuz theres so many probelms lol like legit you get meshed everyday theres duping rmt cheating spoofing accounts insiding
i can go on
hopefully they go bankrupt
Is duping axtusly still bad?
I was talkin more on the new content side. I don't play PvP so idk how it is on the actual implementation gameplay and bugs stuff tho yea I've heard its fairly corrupted
I know Ark is special I played it long enough for many reasons but at some point one has to decide where to invest time, energy and money. I feel guilty enough for having paid this company a few $
whatevers added to pvp is added to pve
i have nearly 3000 hours in the game across platforms and i think if this is as bad as it seems im moving on
Exactly, the ratio of content added with PvP in mind vs PvE and the way in which servers are (and more importantly can be) configured is PvP-centric
it should be free to those who already own the game like they said originally
Ehh I'm still in the process of making my first server for this game and so I'm just happy UE5 won't be a direct update on the existing game and thus wreck all the hard work we've done regarding mod implementation, since I know that no matter what happens after Ark 1 and personal unoffiical servers can always B a thing
Ark is crippled technically, and practically by players and there’s a mafia surrounding it but it’s good business I guess, so they don’t care.
I've always found vanilla ARK essentially unplayable, hence my personal unofficial prefernece. Cuz of that most of my sailing has been tenable for ARK and made it one of my favorite media franchises
PvE is an afterthought and it shows in a million aspects of the game, that’s common knowledge
The modding should be alot better on the new version so there's that
Wasn't it always meant to be a pvp game tho
take gen2 for example there is 3 spots on the whole map that you can build at without being wiped instantly island there is 3 center there is 2 gen 1 there is 3 out of the whole map only some spots are made for pvp
rest is pve
Yeah it's weird they design the maps for pve
But make gameplay adjustments for pvp
Ehh I've found PvE to be populated and fun enough in and of itself
I play PvE doesn’t mean it’s well implemented
True. I wish they just implemented them evenly and in a neutral way so we can customize our experiences to our liking without some random limits or features we can't directly change that cater to a playstyle we don't have
True, that's part of what I've been sayin
Im so hyped for survival ascended
😐
meh, at this point, its more of an engine port
Hey I personally think it has promise. It's just the practises around it in context that make it more problematic
cant wait for my char to go from lvl 205 to 0 in 4 months and all my work on every game mode is disappear
hello
For Ark2 PvE to have a chance they have to change the rules that govern player « interactions »
Ark has been near and dear to my heart for the moment I saw it honestly
Official servers are dead anyway would you rather not have more fun on fresh wipes
I mean people have said this but it's kinda impractical to do anything other than a whole new game. Now how they go about making that a thing sure there are problems but a direct upd8 to current ARK doesn't strike me as super reasonable
while I dislike that i have to pay for the update
I look at it more as buying arkII since Ill only have to pay $50 and I was fully prepared to pay a full AAA pricetag of $60 for arkII
and I get a free game ontop of it?
sucks I also have to buy all the DLC again, but it seems the dlc will be getting more than a simple engine update, but a full on remaster as well
rockdrake my babies ❤️
a whole new game to spend 90$ on and then play for a year then when ark 2 comes out pay another 90$ to lose my progress again
i’ve grown up playing this game and this just feels like a scam i’ve paid for the game and the dlcs twice and now i have to pay for a whole new game but with new graphics that i dont care for
nah its $50 if you get the bundle
The least they could do is let us beta test Ark 1.5 with UE5 for FREE until Ark-2 !
50 turns into 90 after dlc
yeah but thats with dlc
…That’s a smarter business practice
its a cash grab
Yea the DLC stuff does strike me as kinda scummy. Tho tbh if base turns out aight and everyone just does migr8 to ASA then I'll prolly hafta pickem up
at least getting the bundle we can test arkII next year, which Im hyped for
ASA being cross platform is lowkey mind blowing
how
so many games are cross platform it isn’t impressive
should’ve been a thing without having to pay money for
no body is gonna play for the next 4 months becuase you losing everything anyway
The sad thing is that people will pay cuz they’re hooked (understandably) they know it so they can afford scummy business practices
its just because ark has been very not crossplatform for a very long time
and to hear modding will also be crossplatform in ASA?
I'm gonna be more curious to see how the unofficial community is going to respond to this since we can go much longer than official, as long as hosting services carry ARK classic, not even counting the cluster I know of that's just a dude running a bunch of maps from his beef pc
of course stuff like primal fear probably wont exist
Yep after Atlas people should have seen clear as day their dedication to the players, now they came back but even worse.
Yet people will still throw money at them. But there’s apparently also people buying like used socks and stuff so I’m not suprised
They couldn’t care less about whiners in the community, money talks nothing else.
I mean everyone is talking...just money is the only thing they'll listen to
actually atlas wasnt wildcard themselves, but rather a sister company called grapeshot games
and snail was largely responsible for it
Atlas was fucking awful haha
Lmao you realize they put all the senior devs like Jat on Atlas?
And then 3 months in pulled them all off again, handing it to the junior devs as they said ?
Nice attempt though
it looks like ark mobile is being revamped like switch was, which is nice to hear
There are 2 types of gaming companies: those whose goal is making money and those who want to provide good entertainment. Once you know which one you’re dealing with it explains a lot of things.
ark mobile was also made by grapeshot games
Tbf I've got alot of hours of entertainment from ark for not that much money
honestly? ark is a good game
wildcards biggest crime has always been its delays honestly, and I dont see this bundle as too different since we are basically getting arkII for free
meh, too many Gs
switch is also grove street not grapeshot btw 
thats... lol
I guess we'll see how this game turns out when looking back, seeing it in the true ARK of history hehe
Me too so I don’t feel bad paying for the game but my point remains: There’s no hope for addressing player concerns when profit drives the company.
Yeah
Well I don't think a paid remaster is too bad but paying for the dlcs again is kinda tilting
They could have AT LEAST packaged all the DLCs for $20 or somn but they didn't even do that
now I wonder when ArkSA will come to steam
Augest
fuck the devs
thats when we can buy it
Ark is a very good concept, poorly executed and maintained. The result is a fairly enjoyable games with many flaws. Don’t mix up everything.
usually games get listed a bit earlier
People need to let official servers go too they were never gonna stay forever
At least it was (and to me at least) still IS enjoyable
truth
#UnofficialGang lol
Killing off legacy was the best choice hack then too
I have over 6k hours in ark
ark is a good game
WC biggest crime is not taking responsibility for their incompetence. That’s not something anyone wants to have to deal with…
I more worry that some of my fav ARK YTbers might end up with a bit of an ARK content drought and be forced to drop the game
I think legacy had about 3 peiple per server once full game came out, would be the same if they kept the servers now too
Nah
They rely on it for money they'll be on the new game lmao
Ehh true
I have as many, I hear your opinion but by todays standards it could easily be much better. You’re just biased.
Tho the fact that Neddy won't continue to do Extinction lore performance is still sad 2 me
Well yea but it wasn't made under 2day's standards, it was sorta kept on longer life-support for sure and so ended up with a mixture of innovation and baggage to work thru so hopefully these two will be able to shed some of it
yeah but ark wasnt a game made in today
besides, its still better than every other survival game out there
Ehh I'd say a good modded minecraft, or some subnautica, etc are definitley great. I dunno if I'd say they compete directly but to say ARK's the best might be a stretch to me
minecraft does not count as a survival game tbh (I say this as one who has probably played minecraft more than ark, though modded minecraft is a different beast entirely) subnautica would be better if it was multiplayer
ark
Arks the best 
I'd say MC is like a definitive foundation of modern survival
No Man’s Sky was released several years ago and was crap but they reworked the game entirely over time and is a quality game by todays standard. Ark has barely been improved (not talking about added content).
just because its a simple survival game doesn't mean its not survival anymore 
To each their own. It's definitley one of my favorites but it's sorta in it's own category of survival not really against the concept as a whole
I haven't played any other games in ARK's lane like RUST or the like cuz they lack the hook that ARK has with the creatures and themes etc
bruh you can outrun every single threat in the game and sleep during the most dangerous part of the game
minecraft is not a survival game
ark you can fly over almost everything 🙄
True. MC is literally like the granddady of a lot of modern survival and the tropes used it
You might not find it's gameplay particularly challenging but it doesn't fundamentally change the nature of the game you're playing. Just because someone is good at chess doesn't automatically make it not a strategy game for them
yeah, until you go to that red drop and stealth giga comes from nowhere and says bonjour
Maybe because of its ideas not because of its development
so just like minecraft and creepers?
survival is not a horror genre. unstoppable enemies in survival games are bad.
nah, even minecrafts creepers arent really an issue
to each their own.
Again, the difficulty of the gameplay doesn't equal the actual type of game it is
idk, its not really survival when you can get the most op item on day 1
people can beat subnautica in under in hour is that not a survival game anymore?
Tbh the pve side of ark isn't hard
I'd say Minecraft is actualy more challenging as easy as it is
if you know what you are doing in a survival game its not gonna be hard. thats not the point of survival games especially sandbox ones.
And MC has it's own challenege for many folks. You can disagree but that comes down more to personal nature and not the fault of the game itself. It might not be well implemented, and I'd say MC evolved earlier and so went sort of it's own way as it's a bit of a pastiche like ARK with a lot of different directions in it. It's definitley more sandbox than ARK but that doesn't mean it's survival isn't a factor
I mean punching trees
I do like living in the ocean in minecraft though
Kind of a trope in most survival games
Based ocean fan
not so much in subnautica though, the game is just kinda lonely since its single player
I think that's sorta the point after the devs decided against MP for it
yeah, they had said it was supposed to be lonely. reason they never added any other humans.
not really my cup of tea, which is why I didnt play it much
but I did beat the game though
I mean since Subnautica is functionally a horror game in many ways that loneliess helps lol
So is it worth coming back here in a week to find out what the hell is the deal with the future of this game ?
not everybody will like everything 
read #announcements , I very much doubt they'll go back on anything.
these days I've just been mega interested in gunblades
warframe has those 
started playing pso2 and the new class has a gunblade
bugframe*
somehow makes ark look flawless ngl
I just wish base ARK actually followed through with VR support it would have been absolutely wild.
especially with the boards, kdrives I think they are called? idk its been years lowkey
huh, I've gotten less bugs in warframe then ark lol. (more in minecraft
)
the kdrives aren't bugged its all intentional lol
you are supposed to fall off when riding it randomly
Bruh I've heard chess is exceptionally buggy /s
bruh did you see that rad glitch in checkers last week? broke the game
fr the new UNO glitch let u dupe +4s
I lagged out during freeze tag and couldnt get frozen
I got disconnected in Basketball 😦
oh no, he was sent to brazil
I wish. I ended up in Wyoming
Ok Im done here I guess. Remember guys your voice doesn’t count, your money does, invest wisely 😄
"I dont think we're in kansas anymore"
I'ma buy borger
why would I listen to you? your voice doesnt count
None of our voices count, we are all actually NPCs ARK is the reality
ngl I'd love to cuddle a bunch of rockdrakes irl
cant wait to see the little guys in ue5
Expect me to pay to lose 5 years of playing 5 years of dedication, to get an update where I'm going to start from scratch and with a proposal for a game that I don't even know if it's really going to come out since you have no word, and that you say that I may not like. They must be crazy!!! If they wanted to get attention, they did it in the worst possible way.
I don’t expect you to, it’s just a reminder for smarter players 😉
I hope they make it in. Somn tells me ARK2 might be fairly conservative in scope with a lot of things in relation to ARK 1. In an ideal world that would translate to a quality over quantity ethic but we'll see how well it is lol.
honestly its not that bad
official servers have been a mess for years
and at least we pc and xbox players can partake in the beta for arkII
50 shades isnt enough gray for the playstation players, who are finally getting whats coming after years of hogging all the good games
I'm not in that demographic.
I meant in ASA
and not really conservative tbh, arkII will have aliens after all
for arkII Im hoping we will get a dashing and gliding animal that at least works like rockdrakes, if not them directly
changed my name in support of ASA 
NO, ASA won't have rock drakes or any other gliders at launch 
I feel like ark 2 is going to be heavily pve focused
If it were possible to take everything I have, I could even pay for the update, but to start from zero, this game is not worth so much dedication. why Evo is enough to be disrespectful. slapstick.
Personally I'd be decently alright with a relatively small starting roster if it means that maybe they focus on like really good creature A.I, mechanics, and even like ecosystem simulation
not at launch sadly, but hey all the dlc is getting an overhaul
and no way they dont add rockdrakes back, they are like arguably top 3 most popular creature in the entire game
we've mainly heard PvE stuff because thats what they'll do now, PvP stuff will be based on the PvE stuff and player input.
oh most definitely for arkII
its releasing in early access after all
Hope they keep the raiding format similar
Im just hyped for the parkour mechanics
considering we can literally climb up everything, raiding def wont be similar
Yup
I'm hype for the idea of modular stuff like saddles, always thought it was dumb that you could only strap guns to certain arbitrary creatures
I'm still not understanding how this will be updated for years and have ark 2 at the same time tho
I love the idea of modular weapons tbh
Im hoping we get modular armor as well, so we can at least somewhat have control over the design of our outfits like we can our weapons
Ark 2 is at least 2 years away, how are you so certain about very specific mechanics that you get all excited when whe haven’t even seen any ingame material yet 🤣
fashion is the real endgame, after all
I bet they'll sorta sweep ASA under the rug when II drops, or just keep it up long enough to chose which one to support
its literally confirmed on the steam page
to be fair, we are essentially paying for arkII anyways, and ASA is kind of just a bonus
i dislike having to repay for the dlcs though
them overhauls better be damn good
Assuming that deal doesn't end up with some sorta caveats or they keep their promise or some other possible complication
Yea and so much other things were said as well, but all we really have is concept art at the very beginning of a still long journey, everything can and will change
Wouldn't it be illegal to not give us ark 2
well until I see stuff on the steam page change, Im going to assume its all still relevant information
Nothing illegal about a not-great-state tho or some specific features removed
at least far as I understand it
Ah yeah
no actually, as no one has actually bought it yet
Well yeah but they're advertising you get ark 2 with the bundle
but it will be once even 1 copy of that bundle is sold
So there's a legal obligation
there's no way we dont get arkII, and i fully understand it having so many delays considering they are learning pretty much an entirely new engine, and likely dont want another ark:survival evolved
But as they've kept the actual contents of what constitutes ARK 2 vague it could come out a bunch of different and not-equally-good-ways
Idec about ark 2 now this shit is coming out 💀
hell Im having trouble just learning how to make maps in ue5, much less a whole game
I think the delays is a good sign, in wildcards case
I'd be more worried if we did actually get the game in a timely manner
Interested to hear more about this, as I have no experience in creating content like that. How difficult is the process?
I honestly hope against all odds that a small community sticks with ARK 1, I can imagine a small resurgence happening in like 5-10 years if say, ARK II either does really well but is different splitting the fanbase, or sucks and so makes ARK 1 look better in comparison
AYOOO What's new today ?
Lotta stuff going on out there
Ehh IDK I think that's a bit cope-y like we should be able to expect companies to deliver good products in a manner consistent with their promises and such,
I'd imagine that this remastered version will help that
Or it's not good and thus does the "make ARK Classic look better" thing
honestly, not very difficult
its more a situation of "easy to learn, hard to master"
and ontop of that I have to be extremely careful with what assets I use on the free market place, because it would suck if I was randomly sued because of some odd gimmick in the liscensing
if it was literally any other company then yes
but wildcard has always been, well, wildcard... delays are practically their middle name
Ain't they adding some mad procedural shit to ue5 to make building maps alot easier
Problem is IDK if WC really delivers quality in ratio to their delays
I've seen companies delay games a lot and still drop stinkers cough cyberpunk cough
yeah, but its like ai generated art
it gives a nice starting point, but you still need to touch it up for it to look good because the whole image isnt going to be perfect or exactly how you want it
Even trusted ones (cyberpunk again hehe)
Interesting
I want to use ue5 but I could not be arsed doing all the other shit besides progrsmming
Game dev has too many aspects to learn lmao
I specialize in the lazy playing of the games, personally
wildcard has shown nothing but quality since scorched earth tbh, each and every dlc has been more amazing and cooler than the last
the only thing wildcard has fumbled with on a laughable level is how absolutely broken extinction creatures are
Every dlc there's a broken tame 
Ehh personally I think their map building and stuff is good as is their creature design and implementation, but like each DLC added like less creatures than the last one
gen 2 was hella broke lol
still is
Gen 2 ruined me
Oh right cuz Gen2 works so well and everything has been been perfectly balanced ever since SE 😶
well the programming side of things is game development
everything else like animations, particles, map design, textures, assets, and the like fall under game design, not game development
Fucking space whale bane of my existence
Yea but David Tenant tho
balance is always a nightmare in game and I dont falt any games for poor balance tbh
Yeah but if you do it solo you have to do all that shit
the creatures are all cool af and the maps are interesting
Is what I meant
Good playtesting could help with balance I'd imagine
yeah, I always found it odd that wildcard didnt do playtests
I axtusly cannot believe they didn't test a creature that can destroy structures shooting range
they didnt even try for extinction
every game will still have balance updates later. playtests don't account for the multitude of crazy players breaking everything 
with the exception of extinction, they did a content creator one there, and the map still has had the worst balance the game has ever seen
I just wish each DLC had more creatures. The amount of like re-using of assets with maybe some minor texture changes always felt disappointing. Even tho SE is guilty of it, I feel it and maybe ab did at least make efforts to make each new map really feel like a different game
its kinda sad really
I do feel as ARK has gone thru her twilight years of support the devs are more like "give them whatever they vote for and stuff balance won't matter that much soon heeheh"
you say that like very dino in ark has ever always had a point
whats the point of like 80% of creatures in the grand scheme of things
Even just for simply more atmosphere and such, I'm not entirely bothered by a lot of similar niches being filled, for me the more unique creatures to a spot in balance really helps to add a sense of place and offers more aesthetics for people to have
yeah but the only relevant ones make up, at most, like 20% of all dinos
exactly
Relevance is relative
Gen 2 actually ruined rag pvp so hard lmao
bc every map overlaps and makes last dinos useless
true this, which is why Im not complaining
not dinos that try to fit balance, just op dinos
besides, I've always subscribed to the ideology that chaos is the best form of balance
Like on my custom server we got a BUNCH of new dinos via mods and so far it's let us have like fairly distinct biomes with unique creatures
because if nothing is balanced, then everything is
Idk what they've changed since I quit but that tame knocking you off your tame was fucking horrific
yes the chaos of losing 10k hoirs of work to something op thst shouldnt even exist in the game
I think PvE is a different beast than PvP as is SP
I've played with tons of dino mods ^^
meh, modded pve
pvp is just hide in a box for 90% of the game
less goo, once my server drops im hype. I doubt many will play seeing how ARK is nowadays, but even then I'm proud of the Lost Island we've been customizing. Truly a fun modded pve
You cannot play pve after playing pvp
pve balance and pvp are very different
pve is building stone wall and your safe for your life
It does allow for more aesthetic builds and RP
I think their biggest threat was people leading corrupted dinos to their base 💀
the pillar griefers 😳😳
People find a way lol
Bruh imagine if play as a dino gamemode actually got implemented and didn't die a quiet death
Reeeeeeeeee
Wonder if bans are carried over
I'd assume so
New account it is
Think about this. In the billions of years the cosmos has existed in it's countless lightyears, and the uncounted eons to come, we all had the specific odds to exist right here, right now, being aware of and engaging with the world as it is rn. Who knows how many generations will go never knowing about ARK or modern gaming culture or stuff like that. I mean that maybe be better for them but still it's kinda crazy
Yeah all that for me to spend an unhealthy amount of time on this broken game
Hey most things we engage in in life are broken lol
If ARK were real what thing from it y'all eating first?
I'm pretty fat I doubt you'd find me enjoyable
More meat
^
Eleme- prime meat jerky
want to see where the hype is.
Honestly I wanna have a Karkinos meat claw drizzled in like a mejoberry sauce with like a narcoberry-infused drink
Hi Moop
waddap
get me on those rare mushrooms dawg
H(c)oping
spoiled meat and narcoberry custom recipes 😂
lol fr
I'd just scran wyvern milk I bet that shit is unreal
50$ for the whole ASA + DLC ✅
naah miss me w/that spoiled meat I bet if you got enough narcos in a thing, juiced it and let it ferment you'd have quite the strong concotion
50$ just ASA and a PROMISE, no way
Ehh if it doesn't come out a stinker and enough folks move over to the new game I might do it simply cuz I like ARK enough
Sounds like copium
We have no idea about whether ARK II will ever come, we’re paying whatever money for a promise
What a minute? Did they reword that they're shutting down all official servers?
idc about ark 2 i want ark 1.5
Vin diesel movie scenes and scripted missions, who wants that..
Nah they'd have to release it or refund it else it'd be illegal. Now that doesn't speak to how much quality we'd get
Innit they can delay ark 2 till 2030 now
I been waiting for official servers to wipe for years
Ty4scam 💔
Oh fucking phew
Reviving it
As long as ARK 1 still exists and one can make a server on it then they can never truly destroy what ARK has been, at least
You're gonna be playing in single player, they just full atlased ark
Atlas 1.5
Casgrab edition
ppl just mad about losing bases, they will come around
sure it will
Will get more popular 💀
Hey if one has enough friends or advertises right it's not impossible some folks might be willing to play, and hey one doesn't need huge populations on a map to have a fun MP experience. I know plenty of folks who basically play solo on small servers and interact sometimes indirectly and seem to be plenty active
Look at the servers, they're dead
Have fun with that, leaves discord
When the center dropped was my peak
I remember some pretty old times, the days when like there would be regular new Dossiers dropped and people would talk about it, was real fun
when ab dropped was my peak
ab was the most balanced and best dlc they ever had
nobody complains about ab dinos
never did
Center literally one of my fav maps, have many hours on it, time has done it really dirty like it legit deserves a full remake with a few custom dinos and mechanics
center is cool but its just so full of holes 💀
Underground world was and will always be mind-blowing
It's my little broken baby
Meshing was so broke on it
Went in every pillar
And there was a pillar every fucking 2m
I always played modded PvE so the pops were smaller and things were more chill for me
We were the first ones to find that shit on our server
We knocked out a giga right at it
niiiice
But couldn't do much at the time other than put turrets on it since transfers weren't a thing
Honestly I think ARK kinda scratches a similar itch to Pokemon and Minecraft at the same time for me
and Fossil Fighters (based series)
Fossil Fighters Champions is peak
Bruh that series deserves like at least a remaster sooooo bad like I'd throw money at that in a heartbeat
I quit playing just before extinxtion so when I came back and seen cryos I was flabbergasted
I would do hard labor for Fossil Fighters collection remaster
never played it, and from what I've heard I'm glad I never did to have it sully the game's rep in my head
Tho the reddit and discord are actually fairly active last time I checked, so a fanbase persists
Literally, like if it had succeeded it could've given Pokemon an actual competitor
that dynamic could've made both series reach new heights
OK fair
In the end it does exist and nothing can ever un-make it, newness is a fleeting thing. It has long-term quality and that's what truly matters, I suppose.
indeed, beautifully said
It's quite nice I think I've seen a few folks in the ARK modding scene having been fans of FF in their youth, must be a sign of being awesome to have been a fan
all the ppl who were obessesed with dinosaurs
Ya know I heard somewhere that at least in some polities if you can prove a holder doesn't intend to use a copyright or trademark you can use legal methods to obtain it yourself and do somn with it. Or I wonder how much the IP for FF would cost, heh maybe we petition some good studio to pick it up
I wonder if we just went to whoever owns it and told em purely in terms of the sales it didn't make it wasn't worth their time and then convinced them to sell some studio could take it. It's obvious whoever has it doesn't seem to know what they have else they'd be making more lol.
Tbh I wasn't even necessarily a dino-obsessed person, just a sort of creature/monster/science obsessed kid, similar overlap to like spec evo communities
i watched a vid that the guy from fossil fighters was coming to smash bros but it wasnt true 😔
Honestly a good like feature in another franchise could do wonders to re-awaken the fanbase
if only more ppl knew how great it was
FR, I mean even a non-remastered simple port to the switch could be amazing, does nintendo have a gamepass equivalent?
idk tbh i only bought a switch to buy smash 😭
I only bought mine for Kirby and Pokemon
they do for some of the old consoles n64, snes, gameboy, etc. its on the switch online (not sure if all of them are part of the cheapest option).
they don't have DS yet. and not many games for the others.
bruh if they had DS it would be PERFECT for that
wii-U had a bunch of DS games pretty sure fossil fighters was one of them.
niiicew
another underrated DS franchise: Starfy
Bruh imagine if they just straight-ported the FF assets and made an ark mod lool
Guys imagine if ARK 2 actually have competant AI so like say if you were riding at the front of a pack of raptors the others could actually keep up lol
Why was there no announcement about Eastern Event in the Community Crunch, it would be great if we could know about start time or if there even is one this year.
fossil fighters champions on the ds is so much fun, i still play it every now and again
Literal gigachad
S-Tier series, I nostalgia so hard for it sometimes
Hey come someone help me with something?
Is it something a PC player could help with?
Idk
Alr send the issue ig
what was your favorite vivosaur? mine is teffla 100%
I'm trying to help someone with changing the server. They wanna know how to add one creature from one map to another map. Like make it so that creature spawns on that map
oooo good question, honestly its been so long ive forgor some of the names but like if I had to reckon, I really liked the super-evolved trike and Dynal
oooo OK so on PC you do that via either/or ini editing and the simple spawners mod (or just mods that add them) I'm not entirely sure you can do that on xbx
Also gotta love the Saladosaurus
super evolved trike was heracles, also one of my favorites
also the super evolved brachio was really cool
The admin of my server owner said she would add R-Reapers to another map, she says I just need to get her the map regions? But idk how to get that
Or what that is
Oh yea, that one was crazy, felt absolutely godlike. Also gotta love Zongazonga
R reaper can go nearly go anywhere as they don’t rely on the radiation aspect
I also like that they added a good amount of non-dinos like the like land plesiosaur and anomalocaris and stuff
I mean to this day I am confused ARK never got around to addin an anomalocaris
yeee
man i think i might play it again
thats awesome
indeed
I wanna prove that whoever has the IP has no intent of using it so I can encourage a movement to get them to sell it lol I mean the old games ARE evergreen however the world needs a good new fossilfighters game
but tbh i dont really have a fav vivosaur im notoriously bad at picking anything let alone favorites heh
I'm not sure one can do that on Console to be honest, heck I don't even know fully how it's done on PC I have my co-server-leader for that lol
sorry I can't help ya
its kinda lame i have to rebuy the game at full price when ASA comes out 😦
Bunch of liars
Don't forget what Jeremy said 😒
@MrDolphin101 Save data will carry-over, no wipes will be required.
Guy who does my server uses beacon to do all that no idea how but mighty be an idea to look into it
Beacon?
Yeah beacon it helps with coding and all other stuff
After the remastered game will the original still function
That was probably before they decided to make it a separate thing
Yes
Just no official servers remaining
Why kill the ark 1, Wildcard does not have the ability to migrate the ark 1 to the new engine and simply kills the ark 1 and my 20 thousand hours of ark 1 will go to the toilet?
Will ARK: Survival Ascended be free for those who already own ARK: Survival Evolved + its DLC?
If it’s not the case then not only did Wildcard basically lie and break a promise they gave by saying that the UR5 upgrade was going to be free, but I’m not going to drop money on either ARK SA or ARK 2.
I’m not going to shell out 80 dollars to play an improved version of something I already own.
No, it will not be free
Do you have a source on this other than the article? I’m aware the article said nothing about it being free but I would appreciate a definite answer from someone such as a dev.
survivetheark.com, that's from the devs themselves
It’s in the announcement, the one that was announced earlier today, by a developer…
Thank you
I know. That’s what I’m referring to when I said ”the article”.
Unfortunately I don't believe a dev themselves will personally answer your message about if it will be free or not when the announcement covered it all
anyone have any map suggestions? did the island, ragnarok and fjordur (didn’t like how small fjordur was)
The article is a source specifically from a dev though. What more could you possibly need? A hand written letter?
Just because it was addressed in an article doesn’t mean they can’t answer additional questions like the one I have later on??
Is spinning in circles a good strategy for escaping a fire wyverns breath attack?
I understand where you are coming from, but you are attempting to ask the same question that has been answered in the article already. Unless they double back, you will need to pay for Ark: SA and the DLC packs
The article answers your question though. It details the price of the new remaster.
Haven't tried. Sounds so stupid it may work, lmao
On what dino? If flyer usually diving up or down sharply is enough
I heard we get Diablo 4 free if we buy ark 1.5?
Sup guys. Just checked new note. Am I seeing things or they rly charging 50$ for remaster of lagging game with no maps?
I just can't believing it so mb I misunderstood something
yeah welcome to cashgrab evolved
You are correct
I'm riding a snow owl, I tried diving down but it almost never works because the trench is still filled with wyverns, the best I can do is spin
Jeremy literally said new UE5 version would be free at the end of january btw
Ok

Haven’t played for a week and won’t be playing again, gotta love the increased rates for them to wipe.😂😂😂
wipe then steal money from your wallet to rebuy game after they delay ark 2 indefineatly
@burnt briar 😂😂😂 im not buying that remastered crap
how to kill your playerbase 101
They can take remastered and Ark2 and choke on it.
I mean who believed in ark2 in 23? When all we had was pictures and cinematic. Like come on
I heard we get diablo 4 if we buy ark 1.5
To clarify: the UE5 tease a couple weeks back is referring to in-the-works complete free upgrade/remaster of ARK Survival Evolved in UnrealEngine5. Not a cinematic. We havent officially announced the ARK UE5 upgrade yet 'cause there's other major things we wanna show then as well
@trim flare idgaf about Diablo
@clever gorge
Free
In fact I’m out, you all have fun with this bull sheet.😂😂😂
yeah but who asked for this dev all oficial servers to play their new alpha UE 5 ark version lmao
Yea. Charging money for demo is genius
free?
is anyone else crashing when loading into unofficial servers wind10
What is login lock
anyone have any map suggestions? did the island, ragnarok and fjordur (didn’t like how small fjordur was)
Fjordur has different realms also
Man prolly didn’t know he could teleport haha
even overworld is big
Ark is officially 💀
I don’t even care about the ark 2 delay the worst part is the upgrade and how we aren’t getting much content
I’m praying they say it’s a joke tomorrow
The worst part is they’re taking official seervers down for original ark.
anyone know why i take damage in swamp cave even with 3 scuba gear
in my experience most fancy tricks to dodge the breath attack just get you breathed on more
hold your ground and kill it as fast as possible, or run away
"provide the most fun and excitement for everyone who enjoys ARK" I would enjoy not losing my items, virtual pets, and progress.
I continue to enjoy official enough to keep playing, but this news of officials going down is heartbreaking. At least we get more warning unlike the 3 days for legacy or whatever it was. I'd like to be able to consolidate all my items into one or two servers because server downloads are a monster of a file to load into singleplayer.
I regularly play five diff maps on official PVE, because of the differences in the maps and supplies and tames in each.
LI, Gen2, gen1, CI, Center. I was in the middle of moving off Gen2 because I got tired of daily crashes. I guess there was no plan to fix gen2 then? Now plans for me change with the announcement. I shall move my items so I have less servers to download come August.
Fjordor u can teleport in so it can feel quite small
(I'm currently waiting for my home Gen2 to come back online at this time)
when we press run dedicated ark our server doesnt shower up so my friends cannot join
Dedicated only works on my home network, or I dont know enough.
i mean non dedicated
I'm reading the post in the steam client and I just hollared outloud because Overwoof is a big huge DoNotWant for me.
Also non dedicated has a serious problem with caves. When you near the entrance of a cave, everyone just gets teleported there, its terrible
Not just non dedi every platform lol
Closing ark servers is a joke on the second of April
I expected they would close at some point, but maybe like 2-5 years after ark 2 was released and nobody else was playing it
And that they would give us a 1year warning or so, not a 5 month warning for a remaster of the same game, even if the remaster fixes a lot of the problems the game has
There will be no remaster friend
It is too expensive to transfer a game on such a scale to a new engine, the game will not pay for itself
?
Theyre making it cost money
Is ark on switch good? ( like online?)
Yeah, its not gonna pay for itself. We’re gonna pay for it.
Is ark on switch or console viable to play on servers? (Pvp)
I have no idea, lol.
someone wanna play pve?
why you want to play, in 5 month all is gone
Read the latest cc in #announcements
I was playing survive the ark mission and the game crashed in wave 5 but I lost my items even though I have Death Inventory Keeper can i get my items back?
Kinda sad that there isnt a refund or discount for players who has the full game with all dlc and want asa
You'd think they'd atleast give a discount for folks that already own Ark 1 + the dlcs..
i thought it was going to be free originally? but obvs not after that announcment
It was going to be but I guess things changed. Still, they should've given ark owners a discount regardless.
yeah im disappointed bout the official servers to i enjoyed them
I never played on official so I wouldn't really know
I get the idea of losing all your progress though, that must really suck for the folks that spent years together in a tribe..
That was the reason I went to play to official servers when I started - so the progress wouldn't be lost by the unofficial server owners deciding they wanna turn the servers off 🥲
And now official server owners are gonna turn the servers off
Time to shoot the baby wyverns in the head
Its even worse for pve official
the official servers have been up for years, but they were gonna shut down eventually
Power ark to the offi server
someone wanna play PVE UNOFFICIAL?
so are they really wanting us to buy the SA edition and ark 2?
common wildcard L
They are an absolute disgrace
There has been a lot of outrage, hopefully devs see and change
Basically dont care about all the dedicated players who have played ark for years
if they don't I honestly hope it flops like atlas did
Devs wont change anything
Especialy taking the offi servers down, for people who played there since years
wait they're taking official servers down too? when?
yes they are
In August with the new one
LOL
wow I cannot believe they actually said all this
I hope they don't expect alot of preorders
I guess screw the people who been populating their game for years
exactly
they will do the same to ark 2 players if they make ark 3 lmao 😄
they dont care about the dedicated players
Ark2s gonna flop. Too much of original game (which we love) taken out and too much like every other game out there. Pay to win first person bs. Smh.. what a shame. Is sad... ark could have been great.. 😩🤷
Yeah I know many people who are quitting ark because of this announcement
and wont be buying into anything from these devs again
Exactly
Me included....I've played ark for years, and am now going to lose everything unless I want to host my own server...Play single player or find a non dedicated I could possibly trust....what a joke
They never finished fixing the first game . Do you really expect them to get this one right, especially after they already admitted they still don't know how to work the new program stuff 😂🤣
they're doing the same thing overwatch did forcing a server shutdown to make people migrate if they wanna continue on offical PvP
Yeah well given how they managed ark 1, and what they are doing to the dedicated players now, I think ark 2 is going to be a big slap in the face
Lets fix a bug and create more bugs lmao 🤣
Its gonna be same like Atlas
And in case the fact that to play the new one, we need to buy ARK II also WTF is that
Just making money
Exactly. Good concept no follow through or knowhow and bad service.
I second that
great concept, bad design, bad service and bad everything else to boot
and if people fool enough to buy into ark 2 think that will be any different then they really have more money than sense
Honestly most people dont even play on official PvP anymore cause how dogshit it actually is but for the people who still do this is a massive slap in the face but hey have another expansion pack we can pay for
I played official PvP for years glad I got out when I did
over 10k people have already quit ark since the announcement, at this rate they will be able to take the officials offline sooner lmao 🤣
im gonna have a family before ark 2 releases holy shit
I love the game as we all do but the way they put focus on all the wrong things is silly. They have lost and will lose more of their base players because their focus is in the wrong place. The community would grow if they'd just fix stuff and do what they said they were going to do Instead of keep throwing new stuff out and never finishing what they started and ignoring the people that play the game.
Anyone who plays pvp and is upset about this don't actualy leave their base
The mode is so dead
where did you get this figure from, please?
Will they make me pay for ark ascended again? as well as ALL the dlcs I have
how can i save my settings it keep changing
Is there any chance for their bullshit to change ?
Cuz it’s clearly not an April fools
will ue5 ark 1 really cost money if you have ark 1 again? i bought the edition with all the dlcs i think it was like 120€
Yes
More 90 dollars
WAIT DO WE NEED TP PAY FOR ASA even when we have ASE?
wow they really are money hungry
Yup 40 pound plus the. 20 pound each for dlc packs
That is A FOOOOKing JOKE
Yup! Evidently don't care about the fan base wildcard just showed their true colours.
Your not joking their, Paying again for the same thing we already paid for!!!
Who do they think they are Nintendo or EA??
Exactly - GTA V was free when they upgraded to next gen so was dead by daylight
Is this def confirmed?
gotta cash in before we all dont buy ark2 for flopping on this
It's all in that big statement they released
didnt they literally charge for the game 3 times lmao
I slept early last night... this bs
Well i can see a lot of new Flags flying on the ocean seas
Don't forget the fact your paying for the game to START OVER! and lose all progression unless of course you wanna go onto single player servers where you can download your stuff but can't play with friends lol
My friends and I are 8 people and we want to start small tribes from 0, any advice?
you think thats bad wait till you see the changes in the background, No spawning dino, strick lockdown on admin commands. well unless you pay of course
It's like their intentionally trying to piss their fanbase off
well it is owned by a chinese company
not for your "smalls" problem... but try to ignore the people trying to destroy the fun other people still have on this game. Good luck and have fun 🙂
Ok thanks
i mean building up on pvp right now is a waste of time
squid game?
its a sneaky and underhanded way to get people to pre order ARK 2
its called SNAIL GAMES
i am against boycotts and that bs but this is just a disgusting move from the devs
ill see you on the high seas my friend
i dont care if anyone buys it its their money but 40 or 50 dollars for ark one just in ue5 is cancer
cheaper than paying monthly for servers to play on imo. then you also get ark 2 PLUS an improved version of the game.
is evo event on ?
yes. look at #server-rates
Dont be naive your paying for the same thing you have already paid for ( just with a lick of paint) ITS a Pre order we all know what wildcard do with preorders.. build up the hype release it and then when its fooked show ppl a new dino and ignore the old bugs
I don'T see it... steam charts seems to have regular fluctuations during the night. From what I can see it's gone up since the announcement like every other day
wouldn't even be that big a deal if it wasn't for the sold separately dlc
yeah i wouldnt have a problem with buying ark 2 and ue5 ark 1 for 50 but i'm not gonna buy all them dlc's again
Dont
how do u find the parrot fish school to tame the turtles
It would be fine if you get a discount since you get ark2 with it but 50 for the
Bade game 35 or 30 for prvious owners atleast
i wouldnt have a problem to pay monthly just to play the game and people btchng around for 90 bucks (one time) where they get an improved game version, ark 2 and free access to the servers for years... idk..
yeah the wipe is not good but if it helps the game... everyone should know a game dont last forever.^^
i have no problem with the price but you should keep the dlcs you have
The dlcs being extra sucks like atleast say here pay 10€ or $ to get all dlc when they release
I hope for a discount when you already have Ark 1
I mean ASA is the same game with another engine, a few improvements and bugfixes
I‘m willing to pay a little bit. But not much
I have bought all the DLCs a week ago and i don‘t wanna have wasted my money
Anyone wanna play together?
Whoops
i think it will be 2 packs one with genesis 1 and 2 and the other with the rest each for 20$ but idk if it was fake
Yeah 40 + 50 = 90 for smth i already owned great deal
Already bought the Windows Store / Xbox version (twice because it doesn't work with game sharing on your home console)... and the Steam version...complete with all DLCs on each platform
I bought it on ps4 w all dlc and on pc
So 140€
disgusting
umm guys how to tp to last death location?
You don't you get a tame and fly there
Yeap
but i have no tame and the items i lost are sooo expensive and can't recover them
i really need to go back to the location
Where you play
Thems the brakes chief
huh?
didn't work
ain't no way they gonna charge 50 dollars for ark remastered or whatever like wtf
Sort of. The command “/back” will normally take you to your corpse. It is, however, disabled by default in ATM6.
You can enable it in the FTB config, if I’m not mistaken.
Try this @opal plank
i am new to ark i don't understand what is FTB or ATM6
90 with dlc 💀
I thought they weren't making dlc with it??
whatever i found my place thank u any way
You're new to Wildcard, aren't you? It's like Stockholm syndrome here 😭
Not at launch
I thought it was just the non-canon maps
Q1 2024 they come
Np
Not really but I have never rlly been aware of how bad the Devs are w stuff like this, been playing for like 6 years at this point and just disappointed
What does non canon even mean?
Ahhh gotcha so Probobly the really meshy ones lol
It's like they just punched us in the face for being dedicated to a game we like and made us pay another 50 bucks for the same thing and told us to deal w it 😭
Basically don't believe what they promise. Expect the worst and hope for the least terrible outcome. It keeps disappointment at a minimum
lmao
It could have bee alright If they released the dlc with the £50 since you get ark 2 With it
Studio Wildcard should care for this game more though, it's very unique to what it is and even if I did wanna jump ship to something similar to it I don't think I could find one
Let's be real ark 2 is gonna be broken to hell when it's first made, so I'm very hesitant to pre-order as much as I would love to.
Ark 2 is gonna be shit I think
It makes no sense though, how can GTA make a remaster for free, hell even Fortnite can upgrade to UE5 for free, but ark has to cost money
I just don't get it at all
Gta was paid wasn't it
there are hundreds of qol changes listed
Twice infact
in the crunch
Not sure
Gta v literally just added an fps boost and slight graphics upgrade
They've released that shit 3 times too lmao
either way, I don't mine the £30 I have to pay for it
Going from what they said this is a lot more than a slight graphics upgrade
Substantially more than graphics
Thank god it is more than just graphics
if it was graphics they wouldn't release a whole new title for it
Eh
lol, graphics + wishful thinking
Fr
8 years of bubble gum and duct tape is being restructured into a whole new foundation.... Ripe for 8 more years of bubble gum and duct tape
But it's not big changes it's just kinda, quality of life and things that should have been in the game already.
Interactive foliage was in Halo 3, that was made in 2007.
And also minimap zoom?
It's all just quality of life apart from mod support
I personally like arks take on a minimap
what engine was the ark se?
Unreal 4
ok
Yeah but games have made engine upgrades free-
But the thing is is that about 5 people made the original game hence why it's such a mess
They made a bicycle and slapped a motor on it...and realized they need things like cruise control and air conditioning now
Exactly
Remasters are not free most the time lol
And this is more than a remaster really, not remake level tho
Some are though, but again whoever said it earlier the only reason why Wildcard can get away with it is because they are the only people who make this kinda game
Exactly. They got it done, earned a bunch of money. Meow they're going to do it the right way...or at least a better way
I'd say this is a better deal then most considering you're getting ark 2 with it too. Peiple are just pissed cause they said it would be free
I just don't get it tho fr, I bought all the DLC's for ark 1, and now I have to pay 90 dollars for ark remastered and all DLC?
How can be refund, more than 1year later, if you dont like ark2?
Ark 2 is gonna feel like a gorilla without arms or legs made it when it comes out let's be real
I'm not buying ark 2
With 1 year of time durability
Without free maps
I am considering it a cost for my sanity while spending time with something that I already know that I enjoy
Yeah the dlc part is kinda clapped icl
Rather than the stress and anxiety that comes with doing menial tasks in game
Yeah, but I'm really uncertain whether to buy the bundle with Ark 2 on my series X or simply just wait till ark remastered comes out separately
Or even if I should pre-order it at all
Will it not be on gamepass
can we get an ASA channel?
I don't believe so?
At least I don't think it will be till after launch.
when is the bundle even comin out?
Augest
mkayy
e
Does giga and charcar spawn on scorched earth
Are you for real closing clusters
#dontstopark1
#ark-survival-ascended1livesmatter
you have a year to decide. Hopefully with ark 2 gameplay to go off of by then...
Why would you want to keep this cheating meshing mess, when a better version of the same game is coming out
because mods, on steam, free
There is mods on ASA
paid and on 3rd party software
that's just false mate, not only are they still free, but they are being introduced to playstation and windows/xbox...
not all of them. I'd have no problem paying a reasonable price for old favourites, but with the sheer number of popular mods I've tried for 20 minutes and uninstalled...
Where are you getting this false info from?? Mods will be free+ on xbox/windows and ps other than Steam
the actual post states creators can specify a price point for approved mods...
They can do that now aswell you realise right? But no one does it except some specific mods for unofficial clusters that get CUSTOM made....
Don't think gigas do
not currently on steam workshop...
but they're trying to include it into the core architecture of their new mod system
Ark ASA isn't getting shutdown, the ark 1 official servers are the one getting shutdown once Ark ASA is out+ you're paying 100$ for ark SOTF+Ark ASA+ ARk 2 so it sounds fair tbf
it'S the new 'sponsored mod system', except funded by the people now
The only "paid" mods will be mods that are custom made for specific clusters, where you aren't really paying for the mod, but the service to make it out of scratch. Which all happens now aswell mate
You can buy seperatly
your S+ or ultra stacks wont be paid
You lot are just crying for the sake of it
If you think ASA will be just "some changes" then that tells me about how much you know
- you're getting ARk 2 and sotf and if you dont want those it will eventually get sold seperalty
That's not even what I'd complain about paying for...
Then tell me what's the paid mods you dont want to pay for
and more importantly something that was said to be free
the dozens of creature/overhaul mods I've tried only to find out I don't particularly like them after a day
You dont need to.
- They will eventually be sold seperalty for cheaper
- You can stay on ark 1, yes official servers will get taken down, but unofficials, singleplayer, dedi etc still get kept. And if you enjoy getting meshed and aimbotted every 10mins then go ahead and stay on ARK 1
- the many mods that I installed only because the server I wanted to play on uses them
Mods will run through Overwolf.= they will add a fee even if the creator do not.
Say by by to free mods
I am willing to bet everything I own that about 99.98% of mods will be free and only some custom made/ shit mods will be paid
no primal fear, s+ eternal ark etc. will be paid
and if you think they will be than you are just lying to yourself,s you have smth to hate on
they specifically stated that paid mods is how they'll pay for overwolf's hosting services...
if every mod is free there's no 50% to take from
They will obv be some paid mods, but like 99% will be free and do you know how ik that?
Minecraft for example also uses overwolf for forge mods and are there paid mods? --NO, like none of mods are paid on there and it's mostly some insane texture pack mods that no one uses anyway
This is not first game that F. Up like this. If there is no comunity dissatisfaction shown on big level they give a S.
they use overwolf, but they're working on new cross-platform modding and the post specifically says 'This is necessary to pay for the custom infrastructure required for Overwolf to support, administrate, and deliver Mods to the console.'
First mistake ark publishers made was releasing a paid DLC while game was in early acces. They are keeping the thrend.... no money to them from me
WC should talk to bethesda and see how 'paid mods' worked for them.
Still doesnt change the fact the none of the mainstream 99% of mods like primal fear's size will be paid
which then in turn means the hosting system isn't paid for...
I already didn't want to buy ARK 2 at all, but as soon as I saw overwolf was attached to it, i was completely done. I don't want their spoopy 90's flash java crud on my system.
@quartz aspen are you paid for your coments by WC?
Once again if you think a whole engine change as big as this is just " a graphics change with some useless changes" than i don't think there's a point talking to you anymore, as it shows how little you know and how little you've read
I just use common sense : D
On every game and everytime something new comes out ppl cry untill they get used to it and realise it's good
Ppl just like to get on the trend of "hate ark"
Your argument from incredulity is showing.
been using it for minecraft java and I really don't like it
I payed for a game. It will be discontined now. How is that fare?
I use an alternative minecraft launcher for mods.
It wont be discontined , you can still play unofficial, single player and dedi
realise it's good aka forget the old one was better. Like Borderlands 3...
i play the heck out of a modpack until its boring then move on.
I play on official....
Do you actually think Ark rn is better than what ark ASA will be ???
You can't be fr if so
We all knew this day was coming, they literally said they were sunsetting officials during the children event.
Then go to Ark ASA, or just be happy that you payed 100$ once for a game that you played for 8 years
What is the insurance that ark asa will not be deleted also in year or so after someone pay for it.
You know why their bundling it with ARK 2 right?
There isn't any official isn't a product you pay for it's a bonus
They probably don't, from the comments i've seen i don't think they ve read more than the title
I'm only taking about the modding system being nicer for me as a steam player. ASA itself might have much nicer grphics/mechanics when the eventually maybe fix bugs years down the line. Ark was a mess when it came out and so were the DLC. ark1.5 isn't gonna be better
Fuck it you actualy have to pay on rust to play official servers otherwise youre stuck in a que for hours 💀
But you can run a rust server on same computer easy... not ark
ark 2 currently seems like the liquorice in the only available gummy bear bag
ASA is a 100times better version of ARK 1, ARk 2 is more pve based
Who even plays rust really.
are you a dev?
No, but i can read they've said it themselfs, refering to ARk 2 as (looking at you, Souls-like combat, primitive-only weaponry, and strict third-person mechanics – and an overall “very serious” tone)
They also said that the ARK UE5 upgrade was free.
Yeah ark 2 is clearly going to be nothing like ark 1
And now its not.
And major thing is devs are lying. 2 months ago it was announced ark UE5 will be free...... now this BS
They said data would transfer to UE5 upgrade. Now it isnt.
I don't wanna have to get a soulslike combat game with forced third person bundled with the only version of og ark that will still have supoort and content. Otherwise wait a year
What is this meant to show me?
Only a naive idiot would think wildcard isn't lying.
Then wait for seperate sale mate
Im 98 should i level to lvl 100 first and do boss or should I do boss now and level up later
I was refering to the 5 lines that @main dune cope pasted
Just showe it off .... better of play a real game not this shit
You copy pasted 5lines of the 50 mate
They dont have anything to show off. Their furiously copy-pasting for that 90 bucks right now.
exactly. This is only a way to milk money from people who would skip on ark 2, because it's not a game they would play, but still want to play dev supported og ark
That is the only reason to not release it as standalone
Also did Ced die, he hasnt posted in 12 days on twitter.
If your on pvp probably lvl 100 for heavies, but for pve doesnt really mater
I'm on pvp
So you can't read aswell?
the rest are little QOL improvements that already exist in mods and interactive water and foliage...
so are Ark servers migrating to ascended or is it gonna be a total wipe scenario?
Officials shutdown end of august.
At the end of the day no one is forcing you to move to ASA, if you dont want to ( which is clearly the case) then dont
You got 4 months of solid play
and i got 2 tribes to erase from the map with my exomek this week
Also the finale save dates will be uploaded to re-host ona dedi or singleplayer, if you are that keen to keep on playing
Wildcard should, if they havent, put on the ARK page that official support will end on xyz date so people don't buy the game then find out that they get 4 months.
cant wait.
Official Servers: With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will be taking down all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved
-from the forums
Just curious, do you buy games from a forum, or from the steam/epic/xbox/ps5 store?
Official servers are never capped mate. Only unofficals get capped on wipe and they willl still be a thing
i do
If your spending 60-140$ ona game i'm expecting you read into it atleast a little bit no?
Your assuming.
obv, but that's on the indivudual buying a 100$+ game without even knowing what it's about
So if you buy a game today, and find out in a week, the official servers are shutting down in a month, you gonna be mad?
If you play official mb, but if you play unofficial, dedi and singleplayer than you probably wont care
in a month or two there will be idk how many community crunch posts. You cannot expect people to read x past posts instead of the latest one or two...
TBF, officials been dying last year anyways. except the new maps.
My crystal isles official server is dead af, 24/7
For now it's easly accesable you can't know for sure they won't have it displayed somewhere else in the future
Changing the subject, did they confirm easter evo for us, or we getting a dry railing?
They didnt even mention easter, let alone the extended rates for apr3 to 19th
I know they said they would do evo's for old events, not full events, so i just ASSUME were getting it just like switch, minus the rest of it.
They said switch is getting it.
the full event
but the last event we did get the colors and rates i believe, they couldve just actived the same one from last yera
But honestly, those guys got effed over for a long time, good for them getting it.
We should get 3x/colors, im good with that, gives me something to do between stripping bases.
I'm going to wait on ASA and see if they fix some glaring issues with the new engine transfer.
Not playing pillar farm simulator.
@viral shore We getting easter evo or what? 🙂
After beating alpha overseer
should i upload my character to EVERY single ark?
even story maps? only problem is that i made a charcter for my fjordur world
and idk if i should just leave it
or somehow merges my island ark character with it
*message me for those who know what clusters of saved servers are me and my discord will be saving a handful of servers which means if you are on them before august your stuff will be saved anyways for ark pve pc ❤️
How do I know wich unofficial servers are going to wipe?
Ugh no gifs :/
All gonna wipe, every single official one
Wipe hype baby
But I mean Unofficials
Unofficials will only wipe according to the owners of those unofficials.
I think unofficials will still be up they just won’t have any support from devs
Any one know how to port the save of offical over to unoffical?
It boils down to their choices, if they not merging to ASA, its the end. Every unofficial either stick to old 'not suported' ark, or force their players to buy the new game
Or have they not said
We'll know more by August
Unreal 5 gameplay please
Ty
Is there a way finding out, when the owners are going to wipe the cluster?
Or pics anything 😩
Yes.. ask them
there is no gameplay of UE5, only fanmade
The servers usually have a discord or group.
** i have a big enough discord about 2k people will be involved**
i wont be wiping
Show me the fan made of it’s off unreal 5 I still wanna see it lol
They will have a discord and some dont wipe just gotta find the one that isnt wiping
Aight ty
13k hours i run a shop i main on Se 90 --- and so far we have 5 servers picked besides my 3 for the saved ones
As you see, he just converted the existing map/server into a UE5 one, with all the 'gimmicks' WC now boasting about (lumen, foilage and stuff)
Who?
link got removed..
search Greg Coulthard on youtube, he done the fanmade UE5 showcase
Cheers
It wasn't supposed to be there in the first place, it is not a whitelisted link. We're handling it with our tech admin.
Still waiting on my "april fools" announcement for official shut down.
Y’all have like 4 months of official PvP so go nuts lmao
