ark-2

[marble basin]

Was counting ark 2 as the new game

I mean diablo 4 is set at 70

[mighty lion]

Oh but that's stuff we knew beforehand, pvpv will be rough tho

[haughty ore]

yeah diablo 4 is way too much

[astral jacinth]

jeremy promised 2 months ago the upgrade would be free and progress would be carried over, read back through that community crunch and tell me if u see that promise anywhere

[marble basin]

But people will buy it

[royal nebula]

Mfs pay $30 for a valorant skin then get mad when they need to pay $50 for 2 UE5 games

[marble basin]

Im confused why they said itll be free at first but im not mad at 2 games being 50 total

[quiet shore]

I'm not sure about paying for a game that I haven't seen any gameplay for and isn't coming out for at least a year

[marble basin]

Tho im gonna be the same age as the game cost by the time they release

[haughty ore]

yeah im still curious to as what the game ACTUALLY looks like

[royal nebula]

Yeah same

[haughty ore]

with that gameplay they promised to show months ago in a tweet

[gusty echo]

truth prob is they havent even worked on the gameplay and are only at concept art stage

[mighty lion]

No game play until 2024

Only monthly concept art

[quiet shore]

Ark2 doesn't exist

[marble basin]

Well now i have more time to play through the maps ig

[mighty lion]

These guys man, its hard to wrap my brain around why they would do business like this. They only realistic this is they've been flying by the seat of there pants with no realistic plans and all deadlines are just optimistic guesses

[west bronze]

We also recognize that ARK 2 has some pretty significant design changes from the original game, which may not make it as appealing to everyone (looking at you, Souls-like combat, primitive-only weaponry, and strict third-person mechanics – and an overall “very serious” tone), which is why we feel it is essential to provide players with a fully next-gen version of the original experience to ensure that fans can continue to enjoy the ARK they know for years to come.

I hope this is an april fool. I want PvP in Ark 2 and dont want a cheap remake with the same maps/creatures and a player base of 20 players. Then dont call Ark 2, make ASA the new Ark 2. And call the other one Vins Roleplay PvE Souls Adventures...

[tropic crag]

It is, don't worry

[west bronze]

What is

[quiet shore]

I'm begging this is an April Fools joke

[tropic crag]

At least someone else also has the capacity for rational thought

[mighty lion]

Already 100% that game

[tropic crag]

An april fools joke

[mint swan]

Do you seriously have to insult peoples intelligence constantly? It’s blatantly rude

[inland oak]

Few people have to understand here, we are not worried about the price of the game, lets aside Ark2 and think about Ark1, if we want Ark1 on UE 5 we need to pay again all dlcs and starting from scratch is a totally joke

[blissful nest]

Suggestion: Don't go to #general

[mint swan]

Let people think it’s serious. Who cares? That’s no reason to insult people

[mighty lion]

That and far cry 5 new dawn

[west bronze]

The souls like pvp is no april fool 😭😭

[polar trellis]

if thats remake not remaster thats totally normal nowdays

[inland oak]

we played ARk1 tons of hours

its not really easy to get it

[verbal wind]

Halflife 3 when?

[left arch]

It's not like a remake of an old game that had fizzled out, the difference is that ark is a fully functioning currently played game less than a decade old with many active players
So unless by some miracle this really is an April fool's joke, charging people a second time for content is nasty

[mighty lion]

Right? ( aboutbthe delau) Farcry is a great series

It was I have idea: let's hype you up for the let down we are about to deliver

[unborn galleon]

BEGGG , kneel

[haughty ore]

Im genuinely curious to as why they made the UE5 game cost money when jeremy said it would be free. Do they really not have enough funds for ARK 2 or are they just money hungry

[unborn galleon]

Money grabbers

[mint swan]

Its between and April Fool’s joke or they don’t have enough funding

[potent hull]

well at lest we get this ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended AND ARK 2 and will be priced at $49.99. This bundle will

[daring plinth]

wtf ark 1 official servers are going offline?

[potent hull]

end of august

[mighty lion]

In august

[haughty ore]

Maybe they did the Unreal Upgrade this close to april fools so that if they actually got bad reception they could just say its an april fools joke

and play it off

[mighty lion]

But don't worry you can buy a new console and a new game and a new dlc (when it finally releases) to rebuild what you had

[unborn galleon]

Hahahahahahah

🤣🤣

[prisma pike]

Hey whabout'me

[potent hull]

ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle in say ark 2 in it do that men we get the ark 2 beta next year be for the game com out and do his me we get the ark 2 dlc will com for ark 2 free

[fallow lion]

They only say ark 2

[potent hull]

it all sow give us new ark 1 in the bundle

[haughty ore]

". With that in mind, we do not plan to showcase any gameplay/screenshots/videos of ARK 2 this year; "

thats depressing

[potent hull]

[mighty lion]

Ark dev calender be like:
9-10 pick concept ark to show monthly
10-4:50 twittle thumbs
4:50-5 think of ways to lead community on
Repeat daily until we need to announce a delay

[simple fjord]

and after we announce delay, make twittle thumbs longer

[potent hull]

Xbox Series S/X and PC players will only be able to get it via an ultimate-value bundle known as the ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended AND ARK 2 and will be priced at $49.99. This bundle will be available to purchase from the end of August for up to 1 year (after which ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK 2 will be sold

[latent grail]

They really delayed it for another year+

[potent hull]

yes

[latent grail]

Cba

[potent hull]

we can buy it in a bundle get to the ark2 beta in next year

and new ark1 remake

[latent grail]

Zzz

[potent hull]

rake remak in ue5

[potent hull]

ark1

[shell scaffold]

If what they are releasing in august includes everything they described today than I’m absolutely buying it - I thought ue5 upgrade was just gonna be some lame graphics upgrade to the existing game

[potent hull]

no remake of ark 1

in ue5

they cant up grad old one to ue5 there remaking ark 1

[quiet shore]

I'll have left school by the time ark 2 releases

[potent hull]

good

[quiet shore]

April Fools Ark 2 isn't delayed until 2024

[potent hull]

Xbox Series S/X and PC players will only be able to get it via an ultimate-value bundle known as the ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended AND ARK 2 and will be priced at $49.99. This bundle will be available to purchase from the end of August for up to 1 year (after which ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK 2 will be sold separately). Additionally, the bundle will provide players access to an exclusive 1-month closed-beta to ARK 2 in 2024 before the rest of the general public can play ARK 2.

[quiet shore]

It's delayed until 2050

[potent hull]

ark 2 is delay till 2024

read that

[mighty lion]

If you believe the 2024 date after 3 delays ......

[potent hull]

read wat i post up

[quiet shore]

I'd be surprised if it isn't delayed again after 2024

[tropic crag]

Apologies, I forgor 💀

[inland oak]

so how many Hard disk needed, if a player need to keep Ark1 ARk2 and Ark Ascended? if any admins knows this answer plz reply, thank you.

[verbal tinsel]

[potent hull]

no cd just steam lol there map sole ]

new ark 1 will be in ue5 old one my shut down

ARK: Survival Ascended is ark 1

in ue5

remake

[shell scaffold]

I think the community will make a mod called ark 2 in ark ascended before wildcard makes ark 2

And it’ll probably be a better sequel

[potent hull]

when can we play ark 1 remaster

[main vigil]

I don't understand why it's got delayed 1 and half year. Ark 2 should be early access right? Do they want to release it as a complete game at the end of 2024 or aren't they done with the early access process after almost 3 years? I don't get it

[royal nebula]

I don’t get how just a few months ago they were like “next time we show ark 2 it will be gameplay” to delaying it another year and not showing anything till 2024

[mighty lion]

Don't forget the next thing we were supposed to see was game play footage

[crimson sonnet]

nft for ark 2 yuss happy april fools

[haughty ore]

Yeah i dont get that

they have to be changing something fundamental to be delaying the gameplay footage a year out from when it was said to be shown

either that or it just looks like shit

[quiet shore]

I'm fine with ark 2 getting delayed but not with no gameplay this year

How do they have no gameplay after revealing it 2 and a half year ago

[potent hull]

ark 1 remaster all the way

ark 1 e got now will be shout down i her yes

[quiet shore]

F

[haughty ore]

yeah im genuinely curious how they dont even have one little clip

[mighty lion]

Did you guys catch there is a new paid dlc map at the end of this year?

[potent hull]

yes

[quiet shore]

Just a screenshot, anything

[winged dome]

Elder Scrolls 6 says hello

[potent hull]

will it be new ark1 old ark 1

[quiet shore]

I think it will bridge the gap between Extinction and Genesis

[mighty lion]

I hope it's post extinction, but not a bridge. So they have another option for ark 2 maps

[prisma pike]

Thought it said next year for new dlc?

[quiet shore]

Late 2023

[potent hull]

is it going to be new ark 1 remaster or old one i her old ark 1 my get shout down

[quiet shore]

Remember when we though this game would come out in 2022?

[shell scaffold]

The new story map is winter 2023 on ark ascended

[mighty lion]

"We plan to release a new canonical-story expansion pack for ARK: Survival Ascended that will be available in Q4 2023. This DLC will feature four new creatures, which we’ll share more details about later this year!"

[quiet shore]

So Rhyniognatha isn't the last creature

[untold ingot]

You know, it's a little disappointing that ark2 doesn't release this year, but the details on Asa kind of really got me hyped for the Ue5 update

[dusty dust]

Wild card being wild card... god

2 years more of waiting

[noble frost]

And paying for dlcs i already own and a game i already own

Very fun

[dusty dust]

Very shit

🤣

[noble frost]

Losing a lot of hope for this game

[untold ingot]

Asa doesn't really sound like the same game

[main vigil]

Hopefully they see that this decision was a mistake...

[noble frost]

Same

It really feels like everything is just falling appart

[noble frost]

I mean on the site it literally just said "better graphics, water update, intractable environment" doesn't sound too crazy to me

[untold ingot]

I mean, it's not backwards compatible with characters and creatures, so it sounds like they are doing more

[mighty lion]

Tbh they are probably hedging their bets that ark 2 is going to alienate a sizeable portion of the player base

[noble frost]

Yea probably but i still think it's silly i gotta buy all the dlc's. I would understand if i need to buy for the upgrade but for every dlc is a bit crazy

[mighty lion]

Same

[untold ingot]

Oooor, they saw thousands of people complaining and wishing for just a better ark1

[noble frost]

I thought ark 1 was fine

Just a lot of bugs that are annoying

Ig

I rather have them focus on ark 2

[prisma pike]

And new stuff like directional sprinting and balance changes plus new structures

More breedable creatures

[main vigil]

Do i understand it right? We have to pay for a bundle which includes ue5 and Ark 2 although we don't see anything this year like screenshots etc? Like we're paying for a game, without seeing anything except of (cool) concept arts

[potent hull]

ue5 is going to be good for ark 1 .1 lol

[quiet shore]

Breedable Rockwell

[noble frost]

Still doesn't sound convincing if that's really what they're doing

Buying every dlc again is just stupid

[untold ingot]

You don't have to buy the other dlc, but it'll probably be worth it

[noble frost]

I mean we might see footage at some point but knowing ark idk

[noble frost]

But if i want new content

I have to buy all of em AGAIN

I don't know a singular game that does that

[prisma pike]

Any remaster?

[untold ingot]

Well, wc isn't ruled by precedent

[prisma pike]

Like wut lol

[rugged flower]

When it comes down to it, Developers need money. I'm not sure why everyone is surprised. An upgrade and the sequel for 50 dollars is a steal. Considering most games are starting to come out at 70 dollars now

[prisma pike]

^

[shell scaffold]

Why do you have to buy it though - just keep playing ark 1

[noble frost]

But the fact it's even a thing is mindblowing and just outright stupid

[rugged flower]

They aren't forcing your hand.

[shell scaffold]

Why?

[prisma pike]

Cause he's poor

[shell scaffold]

It’s new content - why should it be free

[noble frost]

But you aren't even following

[untold ingot]

It seems like they are planning on doing waaaay more than just a port

[main vigil]

It's okay that they want money for that. But then they shouldn't lie to us and say, that it's gonne be free and no wipe for official is required

[winged dome]

It's not a lie though, it was a change in plans, with wayyyyy more features offered

[potent hull]

is a remke of ark 1

[noble frost]

I said i don't mind buying for an upgrade BUT I OWN all the dlcs already why do i have to buy them yet again

[prisma pike]

I mean it said new dlc, future content, more building, etc. Read it again my guys 😂

[rugged flower]

^

[shell scaffold]

Yeah the free thing would have been just a graphics overhaul

What they are providing with ascended is worth 50 to me

[noble frost]

They even said it would be free

[potent hull]

ark 1 ue5 will be batter then ark1 as it is now

[rugged flower]

It's wild to me that with the way the world is people still expect video games, creations that take countless hours to produce to even be playable, should be free. Is anything else free? Your car, gas, grocceries?

[noble frost]

Knowing ark idk bout that just yet lmao

[shell scaffold]

Right?

[noble frost]

... but they said it would be free. I'm buying the same product again.

It's still outrageous

[shell scaffold]

If you played and loved ark 1 then you got your moneys worth

[rugged flower]

The world is built on what people said they would do. but never did

[prisma pike]

Ong bro, you know how long it takes to make a 3d model, animate it add sounds and write code? The game is cheaper than ark 1 originally was when it fully launched.

[shell scaffold]

This guy does not develop games

[rugged flower]

I do, because I've messed around with unreal 4 a bit. It's mindblowing people can make games as it is

[potent hull]

be happy or mad ark 1 in ue5 will let all start over

[noble frost]

I am just not buying jt again

[shell scaffold]

Then don’t - I sure am though

[rugged flower]

Then don't lmao. Those of us who are happy to buy 2 games for 50 bucks will enjoy it just fine without ya

[inland oak]

WC saying to meet Rockwell over again and again and again and again

[potent hull]

me to

[prisma pike]

Ea would launch the original console rag and then charge $20 for every new map.

[potent hull]

i am buying it

[noble frost]

It's just silly i have to pay 90+ to get content i already have

[gusty echo]

your paying $90 for ark 2

[potent hull]

no 50

[shell scaffold]

You still have the content you already have

[noble frost]

Haha yeah hopefully it isn't like atlas

[gusty echo]

unreal 5 ark 1 is free it just a way to get people to buy ark 2

[prisma pike]

You're poor just say it already

[noble frost]

Damn crazy argument i got more than enough money to pay for it but i just lost respect for this company

At this point i rather not support

[potent hull]

well her to us then thow ho will go to new ark 1 go to higher lands then most players lol

[noble frost]

Mb

[cursive salmon]

If WC treats their loyal supporters this way, I’ll never buy Ark 2.

[noble frost]

Lmao

[limpid hull]

1 year really, fku

[potent hull]

for ho buy new ark 1 will sand to new land old but new light

[rugged flower]

So many people here saying they won't buy it. I'd bet money 90 percent of them will end up with it in their game libraries a day after release. If not before then lol

[noble frost]

Exactly what im trying to say

[noble frost]

I bought atlas so i might 💀

[potent hull]

i no they gave month no date

new ark 1

[untold ingot]

I mean, until now I have considered the Ue5 update as more of a novelty thing, but I am hyped for it now. Plus I respect wc enough to consider that they would make you pay for it without it being something worth paying for

[raw bobcat]

one way to look at this is if ark 2 is shit, at least we will have an optimized game for Ark 1

[potent hull]

well they can jut tern old ark 1 in to ue5 they need to remake it in u5 we as players will have ban mad if they just add ue5 to old ark 1

bug in old one

[cursive salmon]

At what cost? Losing a lot of the fan base.

[noble frost]

I feel like they already did lose a lot of their fan base

[raw bobcat]

i play singleplayer so 😛

[cursive salmon]

Good for you. Give it time and WC will find a way to screw over the single player peeps too.

[potent hull]

do not worry people will see how good new ark 1 will look buy it old ark 1 my get shout down

[noble frost]

Single player will be completely bugged and they will never fix it. Watch it will happen

[gusty echo]

mods will start charging in UE5 updated ark 1 so main mods wont fix there mods unless they get money

for example s+ may charge you to get mod in updated ark so RIP

[cursive salmon]

I have little trust in WC. What’s to say they treat ASA like Ark when Ark 2 is released..

[calm scaffold]

So ark 2 delayed to Q4 2024, no ark anime news, theyre just relaunching ark 1 with DLCS so we got to pay even MORE money, and all ark official servers are going down never to be seen again? Splendid!

[untold ingot]

This is the one part I am dubious about

[calm scaffold]

Even though wildcard has boned me for the 14th time this week I will be buying all 5 new DLCS they pump out!

i expected no ark 2 gameplay and disappointment but OH my god

its VERY clear the company is DESPERATE for money

[gusty echo]

its in the news part saying
Premium Mods: Reviewed by Overwolf and Wildcard for quality control and value, Mod authors will optionally be able to specify price points for their Mods (with 50% of the price point going to the Mod author). This is necessary to pay for the custom infrastructure required for Overwolf to support, administrate, and deliver Mods to the console.

[inland oak]

when they release Ark 3 then Ark 2 official servers gonna take down etc gonna follow it

[untold ingot]

Yeah, they make it sound like they were forced to do that

[gusty echo]

they partned with overwolf so its there fault

[calm scaffold]

unironically is there wildcard jobs open rn? i would die to get paid for doing nothing

[untold ingot]

Lol, until you work there

[calm scaffold]

yeah but they havent and arent going to be honest unfortunately

[raw bobcat]

plz dont kid yourself. No it wouldnt have

[potent hull]

plazma just what see people will see new ark 1 in ue5 game play they will buy it

[raw bobcat]

dude speak english omfl

lol ur opinion ig

[potent hull]

plazma just what and see people will see new ark 1 in ue5 game play they will buy it

[inland oak]

if they say, they need money to maintain the servers on Ark1 without crash and have to pay monthly like 10$ I will surely pay

rather than reset

so they have somehow income

[hazy elm]

Ark 2 2025

[noble brook]

noone thinks this whole thing is a april fools joke

[potent hull]

apil fool is saderday

[hazy elm]

If it is people will still be mad

[noble brook]

i think next gen will be great, imagine ark cleaner and less lag

[untold ingot]

Not to mention with all the really really cool bits of ue5

[mint swan]

I would’ve too. I would much rather have a company be honest than lie

[raw bobcat]

yea i agree, ark 1 is already a really good game. Fix all the bugs and lag and its gonna be really good

just wish u didnt have to pay for it

[noble brook]

yeah thats true and half the fun of the game is restarting honestly

[potent hull]

but they can not fix all the bug

[untold ingot]

It looks like they might be fixing them though

[potent hull]

core game has bugs they remaking ark 1 in ue5

[potent hull]

ark 1 being remade in to ue5

new cod

with new cod com new bug but bug they can fix batter then old ark 1 cod

old ark 1 cod is sow bug it can not me fix that how bad old ark 1 game is

in ue5 ark 1 remake it can be fix better then old one

[noble brook]

what ill really hate is the people who place pillars and those who charge alol for tames because its new

[stray elm]

ARK: Survival Ascension
Also known as 'ASA'

[calm scaffold]

yeah im definitely not buying anything

"you get ark 2 with the bundle guys!"

nice way to pre order the game without calling it a preorder so you get called out for your hogwash

[mighty lion]

Yeah not to mention it's kinda spending extra for those of us with gamepass

[untold ingot]

Just quit game pass for 5 months

[past wind]

survival ascended

[mint swan]

Survive in the pre apocalypse world of earth, where technology has advanced to the point of humans becoming a new species, trying to find a will to live and prevent a global extinction from a war. All new in ARK: Survival Ascension

[stray elm]

What?

[mint swan]

Lol ark rlly makin me spend more money for a 1.5 version💀🙏

[potent hull]

o but if they tern ark 1 that out now in to ue5 it will have more bug remaking ark 1 cod to put in to ue5 is batter than add old ark1 to ue5 have people be mad a bout the bug

[rain sail]

I think people scared to loose their stuff on official I’m pretty money isn’t the problem if so save up until new ark comes out

[potent hull]

well players ho pad real money for there tame in ark 1 will be sad lol

[fresh summit]

wow 2024

[stray elm]

Skill issue

Everything comes to an end one day.

[tribal crane]

por que hay que pagar para jugar ark ?

[rain sail]

That’s against tos shouldn’t even be buying stuff with money but understandable I myself bought stuff but new ark would be better

[potent hull]

i do not buy tame i tam my own saying it will be funny to see lol

[rain sail]

Yea I kinda misread what you typed but true

[potent hull]

o and new antie cheating i her to

i hop

[rain sail]

Yup ark 1 on steam/epic and windows ark already have alot of dupers and hackers so that should be good that ark is wiping

[stray elm]

Official needed a wipe anyway

[potent hull]

SOTF an tie cheating

[mint swan]

Wonder how the market is for in game items is going lol everything must be at like 1 cent by now

[potent hull]

new map to com in new ark 1 as well

[stray elm]

Yeah, interesting that there's going to be a new story-DLC.

[potent hull]

and small tek teleporters it seam to

[astral token]

Regional pricing or be destroyed

Will the new DLC be included with ASA full purchase?

[past wind]

probably not

not even the old dlcs are

[rain sail]

Damn gen 1 boss gonna be a pain to farm

[potent hull]

for new ark 1 her New content, QOL improvements, balance, and gameplay changes, including but not limited to:
Updated mini-map (pan, zoom, pings, etc – similar to the SOTF mini-map)
New structures (display cases, smaller TEK Teleporters) & building QOL improvements (snap fixes, increased foundation support, foundation height adjustments, and more)
Queueing System
New third-person camera (with the option to opt out)
Directional Sprinting and Walking
Ping system
Gamepad cursor
Chibi Slot and Skins Tab
Balance passes (e.g. Cave Entrances, MEKs, Aberration Creatures, more breedable creatures, etc)
…and more! (seriously, a lot more, this list isn’t exhaustive, but it’ll get super long if we list everything, and there’s more we’ll decide to do between now and launch too)

[fresh summit]

lame af 2 year delay on the original game.. what were they going to sell us?

[rain sail]

Fr I been begging for a wipe to happen

[stray elm]

This 'is' the wipe

Survival-Evolved servers are shutting down when Survival-Ascended comes out.

[rain sail]

Ye ik

[stray elm]

Official servers: note

[past wind]

TBF, it's not really a wipe. They are shutting down Ark 1

[stray elm]

Unofficial SHOULD be fine

[mint swan]

Now 25% smaller! With 100% of the original cost to build the machine. Call now and get the reskin for the tek teleporter for free!! This is 49.99 deal you don’t want to miss!

[stray elm]

It is a wipe.

[rain sail]

Well technically a wipe since server gonan be unplayable but old gen console a rip

[past wind]

No, they are shutting down Ark 1 and moving servers to ASA

[stray elm]

Which is a form of wiping

[past wind]

Sure, but I'd call it shut down, because they are not keeping Ark 1

[rain sail]

So what’s gonna happen to everything on ark 1

[past wind]

And don't get me wrong, it was about time actually

8 years is enough time

I'm more disappointed with the new Ark 2 postponement

[mint swan]

“Gone. Reduce to atoms” or data will save to a single player file 50/50 chance your progress won’t save

[rain sail]

Will ark 2 be multiplayer?

[past wind]

Ark 1 won't be updated anymore (just fixes will be rolled out) and the official servers will be shut down

They will provide the saves, like they did with the legacy servers

[rain sail]

Yah rip anyone who plays old gen consoles

[mint swan]

Me who has next gen consoles: 🤣
Also me who doesn’t have a tv that supports better graphics and doesn’t want to pay for the UE5 upgrade: 😭

[past wind]

quoting them: "You will be able to play single player! Yay!"

[stray elm]

ARK 1 wont be updated after June 8th

[potent hull]

i need to no if i get the bundle with new ark 1 and preorder of ark 2 will it give me free dlc wan they com out for ark 2

[mint swan]

Most likely no for any dlc

[raw bobcat]

Rip Ark guys 😦

[mint swan]

I wish that single player the game would continue if your not on it so I can actually sleep and have Dinos growing

[past wind]

If you have two pcs, you can open a dedicated server

I ran a server on a notebook once

to play alone/with few people it's ok

[astral token]

We have some important news for Mobile Survivors! At the year's end, we anticipate a relaunch of ARK: Mobile as a completely revamped product. It will be based on a graphically improved version of the Switch codebase due to the increased power generally available with mobile devices and include new Switch features and content and mobile-specific changes. We plan to release all the expansion packs and non-cannon maps over time into this revamped version, and from that point onwards, ARK: Mobile will have its product lifecycle and roadmap.
Boy am I glad I have a sigma iPad

I think what we should be noting is whether the ASA DLCs will be included with the bundle or no

[past wind]

It is said they aren't

[astral token]

😐

The value proposition keeps decreasing & the move keeps getting scummier

[past wind]

it's the base game + Ark 2 for pcs and xbox; besides that you will need to buy the two passes (season pass 1 and genesis pass).

[astral token]

q_q

And then the 3rd DLC, or will that be in Gen pass

I am like 20% sure it will either be an ARK II prologue on Arat or an Extinction Epilogue on Earth

[mint swan]

I’d tried that once with my older console I had lying around and I couldn’t get it to run properly because I couldn’t use the same profile on two different Xboxes on the same game even with one having a disk in it and I made an alt account but it needed to have Xbox live gold to host, so I was a little upset

Idk I’m not at the delay more mad at the fact they dangle carrots in front of our faces saying this is the release date then pushin it back further

Would rather just get told info later and have a exact release date instead of having to always wonder if wildcard is going to delay it further

And even no screenshots or gameplay for ark 2 is rlly disappointing as now was when ark 2 was suppose to be realised however we’re not even getting a gameplay or screen shot till 2024

[mint swan]

They always been doing that, one of the few times that actually released something on time that I can remember properly is aberration dlc

[untold ingot]

@worldly garden thoughts on the news?

[mint swan]

Ik rlly pisses me off as a beta player here from day 1 and they still haven’t changed that factor of realising on time🤦‍♂️

Idk what you talking about you on steam they always on time for steam it’s Microsoft and Sony making them push back the dates because they pass certification or haven’t passed certification

I mean in general💀🤦‍♂️

[astral token]

What.

Do you have a brain? Certification takes 90 days at MOST not 18 months

[mint swan]

U good 💀

[mint swan]

I’m talking about after they finished development of the game

Blud 💀💀💀

[astral token]

Not happening in a long time 😂

[mint swan]

It’s just all I meant to say was wildcard still never gives a release date and stick by it

I understand pushing stuff back however 2 yrs is wild when we was suppose to have ark 2 here now

Would’ve liked if they just said it was 2024 end instead of teasin us with other release dates

[untold ingot]

This might be why they didn't give one lol

[mint swan]

Still teasin with the end of 2024 which will probs get delayed as well

Let’s be honest people would hate ark2 if it was released now, being rushed filled with bugs and no one would give them a chance to fix anything before everyone would complain, it’s nice that their taking their time on ark2

[mint swan]

Yes I love how there tryin to make it great but don’t tease me with dates that won’t happen

[untold ingot]

I think they are waiting on Ue5.2. Honestly I was kind of hoping for this outcome

[thick moat]

looool they said they will be releasing the new canon dlc Q4 2023 HAHA and they haven't ended development on ASA yet, what a joke.

they know that won't be happening, im completely in distrust of them now, no more 🗿

[blissful perch]

Can someone confirm the TLDR is people being upset wildcard behaved normally?

[proven temple]

Here’s what I’m unsure of. They say that modding and mods will be a priority, cross platform, etc.

Will mods also be loaded at the start of the game and used on a per server basis?

Right now if I run a server with 30 mods, then every time I transfer, or load into the game, or get disconnected, the game has to load all the mods all over again.

Does anyone know if they’ll modernize this aspect?

[thick moat]

i mean not really, having us pay for dlcs once again is really scummy

[untold ingot]

Depends entirely on how much work they put into it imo

[thick moat]

on the delays sure, we should of expected it

[astral token]

Earlier they didn’t engage in cash grabs

[thick moat]

yeah but it's really isn't something new, it just looks different, maybe they will actually remake it and add a bunch of additional content, but for now, i really think this is a scam

yeah i mean the bundle is "fine" only bad thing is we are paying for a game that is most likely gonna release 2025

[blissful perch]

The preorder piece isn’t really an issue for me

[untold ingot]

I don't think the main Asa is, I am a bit up in the air about the dlc though tbh

[blissful perch]

The issue imo is more that the DLCs aren’t being included in a single bundle and that the price tag seems rather steep with what I saw as the proposed list of new features

[thick moat]

i agree, asa is fine, just... a bit weirded out for ark II and the dlcs

[wintry cape]

I'm very excited about the roadmap! Ark 1 but done properly!?!?!? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D::D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:

[thick moat]

eh... it's a remaster

[blissful perch]

^i want his hopium

[thick moat]

not a remake

[wintry cape]

Ark 1 ported to a new engine, UE5. What do you expect?

[thick moat]

what im saying is that a remaster probably won't fix actual game issues

im most likely wrong

[wintry cape]

The whole reason Ark 1 is f'd in the A is because UE4.ark is dogshit

[thick moat]

it's because of them being unexperienced when they made ark 1

[wintry cape]

And because the UE4 engine wasn't up to the task. This is the perfect opportunity to take all of the experience from attempting Ark 1 and correcting issues from the ground up

[prisma pike]

Yeah, so the games dogshit.

[wintry cape]

WC have pushed UE4 to its limits and beyond

[thick moat]

it's still the same code no? i have no idea so i shouldn't be talking if something's possible or not

[untold ingot]

Nanite and lumen will do a lot

[thick moat]

on the optimization side I assume yes

on bugs im not so certain

[wintry cape]

different engine, different potential

[untold ingot]

Yes, but no. Ue5 works differently than ue4

[thick moat]

i hope they really do it well and it isn't a cash grab

it would be a disaster if they fuck this up

[wintry cape]

i'm very curious to see how nanite technology works on a mesh level and collision detection, not just graphics

[untold ingot]

Yeah, I think they know that. But it is what people asked for

[prisma pike]

Probably better

[untold ingot]

Yeah, I am learning Ue5, but I don't know that yet

[thick moat]

i don't wanna trust wc anymore tbh

[prisma pike]

If I get meshed on new ark I'll kms

[thick moat]

FR

[prisma pike]

Who's ready for the April fool's to be said tomorrow?

[thick moat]

i wanna try it to see if i can do renders with actual terrain like in blender

[astral token]

My takes:
— repaying for ASA + ARK II ✅
— mobile upgrade ✅
— repaying for DLCs ❌
— paid mods ❌

[thick moat]

paid mods are fine, as far as I understood, it's only on some no?

[prisma pike]

4 emojis is the limit

[astral token]

Yeah some, but most mods are community funded anyway, just giving 50% money to Overwolf for console peasants doesn’t make sense

[short fulcrum]

I'm so hype about the mobile revamp

[untold ingot]

That's a big win for the mobile community for sure

[bold ore]

I kinda figured they were gonna use the switch version once I saw they discontinued support of it last year

[wintry cape]

this is the greatest thing they have done in a while, Ark 2 is a different game on so many levels it can barely be considered 'Ark'. By taking the path of porting Ark 1 to UE5 they're not shitting on every single reason people still play Ark today

[bold ore]

curious if the monetization will change, I imagine it'll stay the same

[blissful perch]

Ark = taming. In that regard, all of these are ark

[thick moat]

it's just some mechanics being different, it's still ark cmon

[wintry cape]

no

[bold ore]

my only issue with the announcement today is that we have no idea how ark 2 will play, so $50 for ark 2 as a pre order with ASA included feels weird...I'm basically pre-ordering on the name alone

[wintry cape]

Ark 2 is third person with soul caliber combat. We know that much

[thick moat]

third person, souls combat and less goofy a characters will not make it a different game

[blissful perch]

Souls like dark souls, not soul caliber 😂

[astral token]

Exactly

[short fulcrum]

I don't get why so many people are complaining about having to pay for a triple A quality remastered version of the game with cross platform modding and gameplay

[wintry cape]

shhhh o.o

[bold ore]

yeah I don't really care about how its said its played. I want to see how it's actually played.

I'm pretty heavily on the fence of not buying ASA dlc too, sorry but I already spent $60 on the dlc once, I'm not dropping another $40.

[thick moat]

ppl are complaining abt the dlcs having to be paid again

[blissful perch]

I’m a bit sour about paying for two sets of DLC bundles for said remaster that’s coming directly off the heels of the first game being “finished”

[thick moat]

most at least

[short fulcrum]

Yeah I kinda predicted that as well

[bold ore]

the fact theres no discount for current owners of the game is a huge slap in the face...I don't really care how much work this requires.

[short fulcrum]

I agree the all story map dlc should probably have been made free

[bold ore]

If it required enough work to justify a cost, I would've rather they just focused on ark 2

[mint swan]

MONEY

[wintry cape]

To WC's credit, they have been providing at least some free content in the meantime while everyone has been waiting

[mint swan]

They need money probably

[lime forge]

Ark 2 is a fighting game confirmed

[blissful perch]

I’m fine with a single bundle for all DLC story maps too. But two bundles for no real reason? Idk

[lime forge]

Ark 2: Mortal Kombat Evolved

[bold ore]

whether they need money or not doesn't really matter, if they need money again, it proves they're financially irresponsible

and probably shouldn't be active as a business

[short fulcrum]

Yeah
They haven't released any paid dlc for awhile

[wintry cape]

lol no

[bold ore]

I mean its one of the top played games on steam, its very highly rated on steam, it has dlc, it has the stars written for a financial success. and its multi-platform

[short fulcrum]

Ark 2? The animated series?

[wintry cape]

They're ramping up their operations and working on a cutting edge engine aiming for AAA. Doing this right isn't free

plus animated series plus ark 2 stuff

[bold ore]

you're on copium if you think ark 2 is gonna be done right

[shell scaffold]

Ark has already been the most bang for my buck out of any game I’ve ever purchased

[bold ore]

and if they need money again before their sequel, it still proves my point they're financially irresponsible

[thick moat]

we'll be seeing it on 2025 at this point so maybe they actually do it right XD

[bold ore]

yeah anyone who thinks ark 2 is coming before 2025 is new

ark 2 being microsoft/steam exclusive probably scored some $$$ too, I just don't believe they need money

I'm still inhaling copium this announcement was an early april fools

[short fulcrum]

It's so good you can play for 5000 hours, write a negative review on steam and then play for another 5000 hours

[long nova]

rs

[wintry cape]

UE5 is a very very cinematic thing. The entire concept of Ark has the potential to be a franchise bigger than Star Wars. There is an incredible amount of work to be done and this interim remaster of Ark 1 is a crucial step in that process

[bold ore]

wtf lmao

[long nova]

what r u on about lmao

[wintry cape]

Vin Diesel doing space dinosaurs >>>>>>>>> Star Wars

[bold ore]

subjective but aight

[long nova]

incredible work done what work has been done thoughn

[short fulcrum]

Ark has some of the best lore ever

[long nova]

why are we sitting here and lying to ourselves

[bold ore]

cause everyone is in denial

[long nova]

ong

the copium is so real rn

[bold ore]

arks lore is 5 inches deep at max

[thick moat]

dont talk shit abt ark lore or you gonna get smoked

[bold ore]

smoke me

[long nova]

its so mid

[bold ore]

smoke me, Im waiting

[blissful perch]

Ark world building is excellent but the characters and plot are…mid at best

[wintry cape]

for a 2 inch pp that's impressive

[thick moat]

smokes him

ez

[bold ore]

2 = 5

[short fulcrum]

still a million times deeper than jurassic park lore

[bold ore]

well thats a low bar lets be fair

[blissful perch]

Gotta give credit that the arks themselves are sick tho. That was amazing World design. A lot of the maps have amazing character and unique sci fi features that really make them stand out and be memorable

The ark characters? Eh not so much lol

[thick moat]

the notes are very cool too

i always loved the design they had

[short fulcrum]

Kinda reminds of ninjago
Great world building, but mid characters and plot

[long nova]

i sure hope a 7 year video game then a trilogy that was made in the 90s

[blissful perch]

I’m too old to know anything about Ninjago

[bold ore]

if they just had david tennant voice edmund from the start it'd be 10/10

[thick moat]

tennant is so good

[wintry cape]

Ark provides the playground. The community provides the fun. God bless the community and the players for their high quality in game chat and behavior

[bold ore]

I would pay $50 for ark 1 story through helena's eyes

mid story or not, I'd like to see it and play it, than read about it

[blissful perch]

If you say so. Enjoy ark 1 while I move to a new game 🙂

[thick moat]

im interested on wtf will the new dlc be about

prelude? is it between ext and gen 1?

[short fulcrum]

I disagree about arks characters tho
Rockwell is a extremely well written character imo

[bold ore]

My only theory is the interim between ark 1 and ark 2

[wintry cape]

toxic buttholes

😄

[long nova]

his trope is overused in popular media

[blissful perch]

I’m egotistical and jealous -> oh no I’m evil

[lime forge]

Have they announced this as a joke yet?

[untold ingot]

I mean, it is a stretch how his character changes

[blissful perch]

It’s a stretch to say it isn’t cliche

[bold ore]

just gotta wait til Monday or next Friday

[wintry cape]

david tenant doing the voice was an unexpected piece of brilliance

[lime forge]

Nah. Sunday is the best I can do

[long nova]

rockwell reminds me of a similar character who come in contact with something that turns him crazy and evil

[blissful perch]

The voice acting was great - too bad about 70-80% of what was said didn’t really strike me as anything remarkable

[untold ingot]

Frodo?

[bold ore]

man let the people have a weekend

[wintry cape]

get an imagination then

[long nova]

now that i think about it that was vague\

[lime forge]

No. I’m to old for pranks like this.

[blissful perch]

If I have to imagine a good plot, why would I say the plot in the game is good 😂

[lime forge]

This can’t be real

[bold ore]

get off the internet then grandpa

[thick moat]

💀

[lime forge]

There’s no fucking way some pencil pusher read through what the roadmap said and was just like “perfect. Fucking send it”

[long nova]

welcome to wildcard studios

[bold ore]

I'm honestly more surprised the animated series didn't have a release timeframe at all

they said production is done, without a service

[potent hull]

sunset all Official Servers do this mean we are stating over or old ark 1 server will be going down

[bold ore]

hwat

[thick moat]

they said that on november didnt they? XD

[untold ingot]

Oh no, they did what people asked for, big surprise

[thick moat]

we are starting over, without bs dlcs

[bold ore]

I dont understand how you wouldn't have a service host for your show by now with the big names

[thick moat]

back to the roooooots

[wintry cape]

There are so many unofficial servers with better accessible than official servers right now. Official will have to die at some point

[untold ingot]

Who, knows this could be the big center update we have needed

[lime forge]

WildCard was like, “yeah, we have the animated series produced, and spent millions of dollars on voice actors for it. However we forgot to find someone who’s willing to stream it.”

[wintry cape]

I look forward to incredible megatribe wars for their last stands

[potent hull]

ok i see ty some on on fb post on ark the new letter sad no we are not stating over tray to tell him we are

[tepid wadi]

how much do yall think a season pass including all dlcs would cost if they even add one?

[bold ore]

now this is the real copium

[short fulcrum]

At least people can't complain about their mods not working
Because it's completely new game

[bold ore]

pays $4.99 for s+
mod doesn't work
cant refund

💀

[lime forge]

Raq be hardcore coping

Imagine what people are gonna pay for 1st person lol

[potent hull]

i will get the new ark 1 old one had a crack in it lol jk

[bold ore]

wait 1st person isn't included?

[lime forge]

Hahaha

[wintry cape]

not in Ark 2. Remaster, yes

[bold ore]

oh ...phew

[potent hull]

no in new ark it is ark 2 no

[bold ore]

I'll pay them $50 not to make ark 2 in a third person souls like

[tepid wadi]

wait so ASA is 49.99 and the two passes you can buy are 19.99 each?

[bold ore]

yes

[tepid wadi]

that sucks

[bold ore]

💳

[tepid wadi]

i can do it, but that doesnt make it not suck

[wintry cape]

Ark 1 port in UE5 makes me not care at all about the direction they want to take Ark 2 in.

[bold ore]

you can only play ark 1 long enough

[tepid wadi]

ok

[bold ore]

ok

[hollow agate]

I agree

[wintry cape]

not possible

[thick moat]

if they have to delay to 2026 (XD) to get rid of third person only gameplay I WONT CARE

[tepid wadi]

games never releasing

its just a concept

[short fulcrum]

No, You can be a ark 1 beach Bob forever

[bold ore]

tru

[lime forge]

Gonna preorder the new 2026 Corvette this weekend. I don’t know what it looks like or how it will perform but the Chevy dealership said they’ll hang a lemon scented air freshener in my old Corvette if I do so.

[potent hull]

the items in new ue5 for new ark 1 will look good and the tame to

[bold ore]

Yeah, but tires are gonna cost $20 a pair

[untold ingot]

That's really cheap for tires

[prisma pike]

Ong

[potent hull]

i hop we see some art from the ark: survival ascended like how items going to look

to what we see now

[short fulcrum]

Hopefully in the remaster items will look like themselves when dropped on the ground instead just being brown boxes

[potent hull]

i hope sow and meat look like meat

fire look like fire

i get the feeling we will see game play of the ark: survival ascended soon

[wintry cape]

" the ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended AND ARK 2 and will be priced at $49.99."
This kills the $60 meme

[potent hull]

50.00 not bad

if you got money i do

[prime idol]

Don't forget the additional $40 for the dlc maps

[potent hull]

still not to bad

me 20 for me

[wintry cape]

compared to all of the other shit going on in the games market, this is still very good

[potent hull]

for both

[prime idol]

$90 for losing 8 years of progress

Gotta love dumpsterfires

[wintry cape]

8 years of progress? lol you lie

[potent hull]

sow wan do we all think we will see game play of ark: survival ascended a month be for it coms out or be for it

[short fulcrum]

Unless you play on official you won't lose any progress

[wintry cape]

even on official there have been wipes before

[potent hull]

i did play on offcial but i need to start over fresh

[wintry cape]

not a solid 8 years lol

[prisma pike]

My level 205 character will be missed

Every society needs it's idiots, ours think this is a good investment

[potent hull]

i only did 1 map boss now i can do it with ethere players

[prisma pike]

Playstation sucks

😂😂😂😂

No ark 2 for playbobstation

[lone pilot]

Yet

[grave tartan]

🤓🤓

[vocal kettle]

Playstation is for kids 😂

[lone pilot]

You mean xbox

[vocal kettle]

Lol

Xbox is the best console ever

Just dont cry

Get better

[lone pilot]

what kind of exclusives you got there?

Halo and forza? thats it.

[drowsy hamlet]

Oké I'm excited for the new ark1 now

[lone pilot]

the only good thing about xbox is the game pass.

[lime forge]

Any console is for children. Adults move on to PC.

[astral token]

If it was $50 for all DLCs (including the newest one), I’d buy

[prisma pike]

Killer instinct > any dogshit ps exclusive

[spice oracle]

game pass is for pc 2

[lone pilot]

Ps exclusive is also for pc, after a year IIRC

[spice oracle]

same with xbox exclusive

[elfin pumice]

Same. It would be nice if ppl that already own the dlcs only had to purchase the base game

Didnt they say ark ue5 will be a free upgrade?

[mint swan]

Ark2 in 2090 is ready?

[lethal vault]

I told you guys ARK 2 will be delayed.

Ark is getting an improvement so that's a good news.

[stray elm]

If I recall, ARK-2 is going to have a private-beta for anyone who buys the Respawn-Bundle.

[astral token]

Essentially ARK I is being used to fund ARK II

[mint swan]

we know will be full of mesh/rathole/glicth, bugs anyway. ark1 has been having the same problems for 5 years. a game where people spend their lives and after months/years of playing everything is lost for a child who discovers how to go under the map on youtube. garbage

[lethal vault]

lol true

They are updating the graphics so it will look good and hopefully they will fix bugs.

[mint swan]

😂😂😂😂

I've been official for 5 years and nothing has ever changed

[tropic forge]

dreaming is good, at least so far you aint charge for dreaming yet

[lethal vault]

Now they are changing the game engine. we might get new bugs but old ones will go for sure.

[untold totem]

name one game that is "bug free"

oh wait Minesweeper, nvm

[stray elm]

Nothing has changed due to many technical reasons, like messing with landscapes to fix meshes would cause the risk of destroying every base on that map. And duping due to the engines poor physics.

[lethal vault]

Dota? I played dota for 7k hours personally never seen any bugs or hacker just some clips on YT.

[mint swan]

other games may have bugs etc.. but a game where you use months of life to do things can't afford it

[untold totem]

and that game uses the same old map and doesnt spawn a ton of varied creatures

[lethal vault]

He just said any game so I named a game.

[untold totem]

and forgot to read my 2nd line

[mint swan]

after 5 years always having the same problems is not a sign of respect for the players

[untold totem]

but still proves the point that simple = bug free and ARK (and by extension ARK 2) is too complex to be safe from bugs

[south mortar]

Bet if you play minesweeper enough you ‘ll find some

[lethal vault]

Selling the same game with update graphics is kinda of a meh move.

[untold totem]

there is a reason why they are called "remasters" and they sell like hotcakes

[potent hull]

is a hole new ue5

[lethal vault]

Personally I dont like it.

[tropic forge]

were is this last cc is true or not will see on next weeks but after i read it all a lot makes wildcard sense some seems fake but then i remember they are own by snailgames so yeh better wait if this was actually wildcard first time they when ahead of time delivering something even if was suppose to be a april fools joke cause if it was it would have being better done it today

[mint swan]

DUPE/MESH/BUGS/MESH/DDOS/MESH/DUPE. even wild card admins leaking data and having accounts stolen as sweet. 5 years of this

[lime forge]

Nobody values the opinions of people who don’t keep their word.

[untold totem]

yet here we are... people fall for the same song and dance

[lime forge]

I was referring to Fox and his word specifically. Not WC.

[mint swan]

then hey is the game dead?

[untold totem]

as long as i keep the old ARK, i am fine

[tropic forge]

game being dead for me since the first announce of ark 2 while i was waiting for gen2 to be release

[velvet leaf]

Happy April fools

[lime forge]

I’m still under a large amount of hope that this is an April Fools Day thing

[open monolith]

I think its real

but incase its to much backlash they can say "April Fools"

[velvet leaf]

Why would they even tell us aloooot of news at just one day

[tropic forge]

unless jeri comes forward saying that on tweet naaa i dont believe you

[lime forge]

That’s typically how roadmaps work. This however is a far cry from a franchise roadmap though.

[velvet leaf]

It's just April fools

[lethal vault]

I am pretty sure that's not april fools.

[lime forge]

They legit said they didn’t have news for the animated series

[tropic forge]

today not when they release that info

[lethal vault]

I didnt even remember april 1st was april fools until u kids mentioned it.

[tropic forge]

lol

[velvet leaf]

Wdym by kids?

[lethal vault]

So all these people talking about "April Fools day" are adults? yikes. I am out of here.

[velvet leaf]

A lot of games do April Fools, and I think it also did April fool on last year

[lime forge]

Y’all remember that time PHub did an April fools joke and made a pop-up that said they’ve shared your selected video across all your connected social media platforms?

Fuckers got me good haha

Bout had a panic attack

[tropic forge]

dosent make much sense making this a joke, think about it, since february they told us next thing you would see was gameplay, than change to concept arts than a roadmap and now all was a lie hummm i dont thing all is a joke

[stray elm]

Somebody here doesn't try to have enjoyment.

[velvet leaf]

Bruh, any way we will see

Because the news are bad, every news is bad, And also, they would try to make u not think it's April Fools

[tropic forge]

well do you know snailgames?

[velvet leaf]

Yh

[tropic forge]

well some of those "bad news" sound a lot of snail hands on

[prisma pike]

Did he leave the discord lmao

[velvet leaf]

Nah

[prisma pike]

Wait I replied to him? My discord wasn't telling me I was replying and I couldn't load his profile to check if he left and that was why.

Anyways

[prisma pike]

Cry wdc

So, uh. Based off of what he's saying I'm assuming the people in here know that's it's like 99% an April fool's for the delay being so long?

[tropic forge]

not so sure, they puyt cc way ahead of time

[prisma pike]

Cause no way they said last year they're showing gameplay next and now they're not showing gameplay for a whole year.

[stray elm]

Nah, I can actually see it.
If I recall right, they stated something about a private-beta for anyone who owns the Respawn-edition, so they could actually delay it to 2024 while allowing a handful of people beta-test it.

[tame geode]

I think the animated series news is a joke, and the "not getting any gameplay footage for ark 2 for this entire year" bit are a joke potentially... either that, or I need more copium.

[velvet leaf]

People are so dumb 😂

[prisma pike]

They don't gotta have everything as an April fools joke. Only a few details.

[lime forge]

I think the whole thing is a joke

[stray elm]

Fair

[prisma pike]

Like, the new ark remaster stuff? Probably all legit.

[tropic forge]

well they said next thing would be gameplay than change to concept art than a roadmap, when they do this a lot hard to believe in anything

[stray elm]

I'm just going to take everything literal from it, until proven wrong by official sources.

[velvet leaf]

Ark 2 delay, is a joke

[tame geode]

Everything else seems pretty realistic from a business perspective. Although I wish they wouldn't charge us for the DLC's again. (after originally saying the upgrade would be free that is)

[velvet leaf]

Ark ascendant can be real

[prisma pike]

True on the concept arts. And I wouldn't consider a franchise wide road map to fill that area.

[tropic forge]

the delay i think that part might be fake cause they mention "final product" ark 2 is suppose to come as ea so that alone makes be believe something is wrong there

[inland oak]

yea they really said that upgrade was free

[prisma pike]

Imagine they're just talking the full release lol

[inland oak]

Big Lie

[stray elm]

ARK Survival Ascended is 100% real
They've been talking about a UE5 remaster for months now

[prisma pike]

They probably have little money considering that arks on gamepass now

So they probably need the money

[tame geode]

I'm pretty sure Ced mentioned they had already previewed the animated series during the extra life stream. So, it's weird that it's literally in same position as it's been for ages. That part just sounds like a massive set-up for a joke or bait rather.

[inland oak]

if this announcement is true then after few years they will say they cant support Ark 1 Asc and shut down how can trust a company like this

[noble kayak]

They are so unconfident in ark 2 that they’re trying to tie it to an engine upgrade and make you pay for it.. sad. Why continue to dev a game that you know players won’t enjoy

[prisma pike]

I watched extra life all they did was share bits of the soundtrack

[inland oak]

they announcement at January 22nd I believe

[stray elm]

You actually get more revenue, due to Microsoft splitting a percentage of what they get with you.

[inland oak]

UE 5

[tame geode]

If they need more revenue, then they should sell proper merch or something.

[tropic forge]

well between vin (not sure if is geeting paid or will get a cut) and the anime they should manage their money better but than there's snailgames and i dont know how that works, who gets the money

[inland oak]

exactly

[velvet leaf]

Hope ark ascendant gets a better anti cheat other than battle eye.... It's full of hackers now

[prisma pike]

But how much? Is it based off of time spent by users on the game?

[stray elm]

That's literally ever fucking live-service game.
Everything comes to an end, and games will become limited due to being outdated.

[stray elm]

No, I believe it's per-subscription.

[tame geode]

Not this 0.00000001% chance of getting a dodo plushie during a single stream once a year bs.

[inland oak]

not fair if tons of hours spent on and then have to buy the dlc again to play same shit

[prisma pike]

Hm, who knows then. Maybe they just want money.

[prisma pike]

Most remasters do that my guy.

[tropic forge]

well you got ark, pixark and other 2 ark games (cant recall their names) not sure who wants more money

[stray elm]

This is literally what ever fucking remaster does.
And the fact that they're bothering to take time to remaster each paid DLC then just slapping on new 8k assets and calling it a day is, to me, worth the money.

[prisma pike]

Ark park

[prisma pike]

They're 8k?

[velvet leaf]

Other arks are pretty dead

[stray elm]

I'd assume, since that's the standard for the industry now.

[tropic forge]

still made them money

[inland oak]

not fair for me that they gonna take down the official my 20+k hours gonna vain

[prisma pike]

When did 8k become standard what?

[stray elm]

I believe within the last few years, of games like the Resident-Evil 4 remake and such

[tropic forge]

wasent fair for me when they announce ark2 while i was waiting for gen2 release

[prisma pike]

Can we talk about how we'll get a new dlc before we even get back all the old ones?

[stray elm]

Boo the fuck hoo, life ain't fair.
I have 9,000 hours in ARK in total, and same shit applies to me.
But I ain't crying about it. Why?
Cause ARK is a nearly decade old game that needs to be moved on, and a remaster that'll allow everyone to start a new, is exactly what it needs.

[tropic forge]

pretty sure country gonna delete all this chat 🤣 but go ahead while she aint looking

[inland oak]

here major problem is, ARk2 gonna release on dec 2024 and if Ark1 asc have to play it for scratch on 1 year we cant max stats dinos and then they will force to leave Ark1 asc and play Ark2

they will happen for sure

[tame geode]

Holy the general chat is a dumpster fire...

[prisma pike]

Always has been

General is for troglodytes

[inland oak]

dude first you have to understand everyone not in the same page

if your not worried good for u

[potent hull]

is to day 1

[stray elm]

Yep.
What's your second point?

[prisma pike]

Eh, it just makes breeding competitive again.

[tropic forge]

for pvp lovers a remaster is a perfect starting point

[prisma pike]

I mean, I'm level 205 so not really lol.

[inland oak]

I am totally ok with Ark2 delay but Ark1 what they gonna do is trash and Ark2 gonna release Dec 2024 so then Ark1 ASC this year Aug lol

[prisma pike]

It's just more fun early game when everything's developing.

[stray elm]

Not for the alpha's that sit on their mighty throne and do jack worth shit with their lives, since they've claimed a whole server.

[inland oak]

for pve ppl like me pain a lot

[prisma pike]

Tbh I don't see the issue with the servers wiping for PvE. Everything done in PvE is pointless past killing bosses.

[tropic forge]

calm down wait for next cc, either if this is true or not will see, maybe they test the ground and got lot of heat and they will back down on some stuff, but keep in mind official servers soon or later they will go down

[prisma pike]

I mean, sure the servers go down but you can download official maps. It's not like you'll be missing being able to pvp on them.

[inland oak]

yep same thought will see

[untold totem]

People who make pretty builds without worrying getting raided, having pretty tames without worrying about meta/PVP

You only have the PVP-er perspective hence you don't understand PVE players

[tame geode]

I think there's been enough heat that Wildcard is 100% gonna step-up and say something probably as soon as today. Contrary to popular belief wildcard doesnt just hate their fanbase.

[untold totem]

Sadly their Publisher, Snail Games have them in their financial "throat"

[prisma pike]

Y'know I have another message under that right? If you think I don't understand your perspective then idk what to say.

[stray elm]

Nah, if they hated their fanbase. They would've allowed SnailGames to implement a paid shield that can't be destroyed, unless you have also a paid drill that destroys it

[tame geode]

Along with NFT's and othe rmicrotransactions. Don't forget the wandering Dodo loot boxes.

Shoots birb. Birb explodes into raptor clause drops with ramshackle stone hatchets.

oh and the ugliest christmas sweater skin.

[prisma pike]

Ramshackle stone hatchets are the goat

[potent hull]

i think we my get game play for ark survival ascended in the months ahead toward its August launch!

[tame geode]

I'd sure as heck hope so lol. "Alright you lowly consumers, get your wallets and buy this remake of a game. We ain't showin you nothing before release, so bite the pillow we're goin in dry." Would be awful.

[broken flower]

I said 2024 lol

[lament osprey]

will there be abortion in ark 2

[potent hull]

i am reading post on community cruch people are still say o we got to pay for a up grad not nowing is going to be is own game lol

people will buy the new ark after seeing game play of it lol

[tropic forge]

there's abortion on ark 1 what youre talking?

[prisma pike]

There is in ark 1

[lament osprey]

oh mb

[tame geode]

Well, I can't vouch for peeps that don't read the crunch, but I'd imagine the "not showing anything this year was only for ARK 2 (Which I think is actually an april fools prank). They 100% not gonna sell a game without gameplay all the way to launch.

[untold ingot]

They aren't selling ark2 yet

[lime forge]

According to that same post Ark 2 isn’t coming out for another 2 years

[potent hull]

to day is april fools for me sow no it not a april fools joke

[lime forge]

I’m starting to think you’re just perpetually hyped for gameplay. You don’t even give a fuck what game it is. Just that someone’s showing you gameplay.

[potent hull]

game play of new ark 1 remaster we all need game play for it

be for it com out

[astral token]

“Don’t do drugs, eat home cooked food” is the name of the game

[stone valve]

can anyone explain to me why ark 2 is only available in english? they made a million part 1 and now they have no money for more languages than english. sad

[astral token]

It will be released in more languages when it actually comes out in LATE 2024

[stone valve]

you mean after deleayed to 2030

[astral token]

Highly likely 🤣

[left arch]

everyone stay out of general, worst decision of my LIFE

[prisma pike]

Ong

[lime forge]

I live in general in times like these

[prisma pike]

True

[lime forge]

It’s so easy to rile people up when half the work is already done haha

[prisma pike]

Too easy to salt farm

Just tell people wdc and they'll get pissed usually

[lime forge]

Literally all I have to do is post an opinion and BAM death threats in the dms

[mighty lion]

The nostalgia of death threats over a game. What the heck are you posting? Lol

[tame geode]

But they are. You can buy access to Ark 2 for $49.99 USD and get ASA with it.

[prisma pike]

And where is that being sold right now?

[tame geode]

I almost took that bait.

[prisma pike]

Bait?

I mean, they aren't selling it so.

[tame geode]

You're correct that my message isn't worded correctly out of context and switching two words would be better, but it doesn't really detract from my point... Or add to those other peeps point. Not that there was even a point to be made. I don't even know what the other guys were going on about. We'll get gameplay before launch for both ASA and Ark 2.

[astral token]

Let us instead forget the absolute garbage thay was today’s crunch and talk about the Saber

[lime forge]

No. I’m not Ark chatting about a game that isn’t coming out for 2 years and the devs refuse to give more than concept art. I’ll hang around long enough to find out if this is a joke and I’m out if it isn’t.

[tame geode]

Concept art is cool, but it's too hard to conceptualize that into gameplay 100%.

I'm for more pics, but I think peeps were really hoping to see how the concepts might look in the engine. So more concept art seems way less impactful without context.

I think if they just showed us like the carno asset isolated, we'd have a better idea of how close they're sticking to concepts, and give more credibility to them.

[prisma pike]

I don't think anyone wants to talk about ark 2 until they announce if this was an April fool's joke or not

[lime forge]

Yeah, if it is a joke then I’ll be the first to admit they got us fucking good.

Then I’ll talk about that sweet ass sabertooths

[prisma pike]

I'm 99.9% sure it's a joke

[split dove]

it has to be

[prisma pike]

Too many contradictions on past subjects

[lime forge]

How tf you go from “gameplay is around the corner” to “yeah, we’re gonna have to delay. No gameplay this year.”

[prisma pike]

A few like the ark remastered costing money doesn't seem that much like a joke tbh.

[mighty lion]

That's a risky joke

[prisma pike]

Exactly

[broken flower]

It's not a joke

[astral token]

They should “Don’t do drugs, eat home cooked food”

[prisma pike]

Proof?

[broken flower]

Game development takes a long time to get right and complete to a high standard

[lime forge]

What does that even mean haha

[broken flower]

It's obvious by the way they phrased it

You are all in denial

[mighty lion]

Well dollie expressed prior that she was concerned with the phrase of gameplay because it was no where near ready. I think that was around January

[lime forge]

He’s 12 he doesn’t need proof

[astral token]

A meme in our locality bcz our school’s principal said it once back in the day when one guy was caught peddling drugs outside school

[prisma pike]

Hmm

[broken flower]

It's a good thing they are putting time into their game to make it quality

Putting out a shit game early would kill it instantly

[prisma pike]

Doubt

[lime forge]

Oh. That makes sense. Our thing is “because you don’t drink enough water”

[prisma pike]

Idk man have you seen anime games

[broken flower]

Anime??

[lime forge]

You know why you broke your arm?

Cause I fell 2 stories?

Because you don’t drink enough water.

[prisma pike]

Wouldn't have fallen two stories if you were in your kitchen drinking water

[mighty lion]

They are continuing to struggle with ark 2, yet they keep dumping time into ark 1. It's either they are genuinely concerned by how ark 2 will be received or they are inept

[broken flower]

I think they are just trying to keep the ark community alive while they develop ark 2

[south lance]

my copium must only last a couple more hours

[prisma pike]

Just go to sleep

[south lance]

the seething will rise

[prisma pike]

Then wake up and imagine it was all a dream

[mighty lion]

If it's not a joke, are you trusting 2024?

[south lance]

i dont know if i care about ark2 at that point

just the remaster

[prisma pike]

No, I'm trusting a rope.

[lime forge]

Lol. Go to general and see the community. The only thing keeping the community alive right now is unfathomable rage. Like that time Obi Won got the high ground on Anakin, turned him into a quadriplegic and walked away like a badass.

[south lance]

does ark1 become a newly supported title that runs parallel to ark2 with its own content updates then

[prisma pike]

I believe so

[south lance]

or just ark sa ig

[prisma pike]

Just the remaster

[south lance]

maybe ark2 becomes even more soulslike

and ark1 leans into mmo

maybe they just split the universe

[mighty lion]

I'm hoping the new ark 1 paid dlc will give them an out if ark 2 is bad

[south lance]

add post extinction dlc

[mighty lion]

They are

[south lance]

for asa or just the switch specifically

[prisma pike]

Asa

[south lance]

cool

[prisma pike]

Supposed to be this year too (doubt)

[mighty lion]

High doubt

[prisma pike]

Well, I'm going to sleep, I don't expect any confirmation for any of this until like 7pm lol

If there is any

[astral token]

Timeframe unknown but likely

[lime forge]

Y’all remember that time Fox thought the original announcement for the remaster was a joke?

Then we made the bet he never paid up on?

And now here I am thinking this is a joke

Fuckin wild universe

[astral token]

🤣

[worldly garden]

I'm pretty sure it's not an April Fool, that's a huge risk for them to take. However, traditionally you can keep an April Fool running until 12pm 1st April. Currently it is 07:30am EST.

[quiet shore]

Yeah April Fools it's actually coming out in 2027

[tropic forge]

true, problem is when they post cc was way before 1st april

[mighty lion]

I'm sure they intentionally did it this way to leave us confused. No comments from any devs today either

[astral token]

It’s not a joke I think

[lime forge]

That’s oddly specific…. What do you know? 🤨

[worldly garden]

what is oddly specific?

[tropic forge]

"The ARK 2023 roadmap post is coming on March 31 specifically" its a very odd msg but still way fuck up to be presented as a april fools joke ahead of time

[quiet shore]

Thye released it like 2 hours before they usually release the crunch

[lime forge]

Go away Fox. Don’t come back until your word is worth more than the chewed gum on the bottom of my boot.

[worldly garden]

I'd ignore the word "specifically" consider he said "free" and that animated won't be far into the new year. 🤣

[tropic forge]

way more than 2 hours, it was 22h in my timezone when normally its around 2 am

[worldly garden]

The last couple of weeks it's dropped at midnight UK time, so yeah it was 2 hours earlier than recent crunches.

[tropic forge]

well i have the same timezone as you 🤣

[astral token]

I have a feeling Animated will coincided with ASA

[quiet shore]

I reckon AS will be in May

[mighty lion]

I'm in wildcards time zone. Typically they release it at 6 p.m. ( end of business day) or 4 p.m. when it's a light crunch. So both of you are right

[astral token]

August alr known

[quiet shore]

For the animated series?

[wintry cape]

Ark 1.5 is best Ark

[astral token]

No for ASA

I thought AS was a typo u meant ASA

[tropic forge]

shit know that you mention ark 1.5, hey @fallow niche you need to make a new tab on ark: the future call ARK-1.5

that way when you wanna talk about ark 1.5 you go there when you wanna talk about ark 2 you come here 🤣

[lime forge]

Not sure there’s gonna be many people in here talking about Ark 2 after this.

[worldly garden]

So as ASA will have a new third person that you can opt out of, I think this new version could be a prototype for what third person will be like in ARK 2 maybe.

[lime forge]

Who fuckin cares at this point

Y’all wanna beat this same dead horse for another 2 years? Maybe make some wild speculations based off a piece of concept art?

Not even fireballs are worth this amount of bullshit

[inland oak]

lol yet still few ppl defending WC and yep u got the points right

[tropic forge]

damn pplm still raging on general 🤣

[mighty lion]

It's interesting watching the stages of grief from the news

[tropic forge]

if ppl are so convince this cc is all true why not band together go to reddit and ask a different company to make same game style different story (of course lol) and hope someone picks up

[tame geode]

I would say they can't because most peeps don't really, truly, and fully understand why they're frustrated by this news (hence most peeps being upset for stupid reasons), and are more likely to want to argue out of confusion than ban together to get a collective thing accomplished. Kinda like irl politics.

It's also not worth the effort for what would be a not as good knock off.

The better and easier bet would be to flame the discord and twitter and allow WC to reconsider their plans or announce the prank. Which is what's currently happening. They kinda have to respond to this heat... Like very, very soon.

[untold ingot]

I mean, they really dont

[tropic forge]

or not, they can say something on next cc or just tweet a meme making even more confusing thoughts

[tame geode]

I say we just keep stoking the flame. They'll respond.

[untold ingot]

They did say that 2023 was the last year of ark1, so it doesn't really make sense that people are upset about that

[untold ingot]

Imo it's not a good flame to stoke lol

[tropic forge]

you really want a answer today thats officially april fools?

its already bad when they post cc ahead of time so they can always get away whit saying "ho were not working on that saturday thats why we post it so early"

[tame geode]

If peeps aren't happy with how the company is choosing to move forward, then yeah it's kinda the only thing us consumers can do before we can collectively choose to not buy the product. They can't know we're upset if they we don't make it clear that we're not happy with what's presented.

They expect people to be upset for a few hours before the next shiny thing pops up, keeping the responses up for longer lights the fire under em to respond quicker instead of ignore it.

[tropic forge]

thats a way of doing it

[untold ingot]

They are giving the community exactly what the community asked for. They just aren't doing it for free.

[tame geode]

It's happened before. WC doesn't normally try to screw over it's fan base like that. They aren't EA... Yet.

[tropic forge]

the owner of wildcard is same status as EA 🤣

or owners not sure

[tame geode]

Eh, not really. Call me a fanboy, but Wildcard has demonstrated over and over that they honestly care about what their fans want. Arks conception was 100% motivated by passion in addition to money. You can't say the same for EA.

[untold ingot]

People really been ignoring this lately lol

[tropic forge]

im talking about snailgames, they are the true owners of wildcard

[tame geode]

Oh I'm with you on that. Fuck snail games. Thanks for saving WC I guess, but other than that, nah. I'm just under the impression that WC still has creative rights to Ark and ark related titles. Just not the assets. If there's any formal public documentation on the WC acquisition I'd love to read it.

If Snail Games had total say over what WC is doing with ark, we'd totes have micro transactions, and loot boxes, and nft Garbo I reckon.

[tropic forge]

not sure, all i know is when snail try to put microtransactions wildcard employers threat to leave the company

that alone shows me that they dont have great influence inside

[tame geode]

Interesting. I see the opposite, but I see your point being 100% valid as well. It makes me want to go search for any sort of public documentation about Snail Games' relationship over WC and see if it was a total buy out, or did they just buy out controlling interest, etc.

[tropic forge]

i belive it was a total buy cause i remember jeri get a court ticket of 60 milion but i could be wrong on the value

[tame geode]

My problem is I only remember seeing game articles about the buy out after the lawsuit with trendy. Those kinda things tend to hyperbolize stuff for views.

[tropic forge]

yeh i just was reading one mention 40m

[tame geode]

I'm pretty they were bought out completely as well, but you never know. Especially since Vin was able to buy a seat on the board as I understand it currently.

[tropic forge]

i dont think Vin bought at seat more like offer to him

[gleaming olive]

I personally wont be buying either ark ascended nor ark2 after the crap that was posted yesterday. Ive been playing ark since day 1 EA.

[untold ingot]

You don't have to

You still have 18 months to change your mind before launch lol

[tame geode]

What's amazing to me is that although we're getting a new story DLC for Ark 1 in ASA, they didn't announce another non-story DLC between now and then. Especially after opening up the sponsored mod program a couple of times. It such a long time to try and live for such little content.

It would've taken a bit of developmental burden off them and put it on a fan developer while also buying more time with the fan base.

[untold ingot]

There might still be one. Nekatus is working on a new map that is really good and they already added two of his maps to the game

[grim kestrel]

I would rather them delay than put out a product with issues, good work Wildcard keep it up!

We did get confirmation in that roadmap it will not just be cross platform modding, but they did clarify there it will be cross platform multiplayer.

[tropic forge]

you know how to avoid delays? you dont announce a product that starting to make or barely as any progress done

[lime forge]

They release one more nek map and they may as well just add him to the team

[untold ingot]

I think they tried

[lime forge]

Mans single handedly responsible for almost 15% of Ark maps

[untold ingot]

He is an absolute wizard that's for sure

[grim kestrel]

Unlike impatient people like you I don't care if they delay the game. Delays to me are a good thing because it says they know they need to keep working on it.

Sharing possible release times just apart of a game company giving gameplay and what not. It doesn't bother any of us with common decency when companies delay games to better them before launch.

I'm more likely to buy a game from a company that knows when to push it back it back then to just throw out a product.

[astral token]

I am fine with delays, however underhanded business tactics are not my jam

[tropic forge]

unlike you i aint buttkiss someone and making excuses for them simple as that

[grim kestrel]

Ah, thanks for showing me what kind person you are for exposing you as the attempted insulting type that just like "You jUsT MaKiNG ExCuSeS" Now I know to just block you so it doesn't show your post to me. I got better things to do than explain myself people like you.

[tropic forge]

damn dude, did you just copy/paste previous msg 3 times today to seek attention? 🤣 nothing like a quick search to see who im dealing whit

here i make you the favor i block you insted

[grim kestrel]

Wouldn't say it an underhanded business tatic more of just unexpected issues that occur which everyone 18+ should be able to relate to in the real world considering unexpected things happen all the time.

[astral token]

It’s an underhanded tactic when u sell ur new game bundled with ur old one so it doesn’t flop

[south lance]

its literally just a preorder that comes along with the revamped ark1

assuming this is all real

[grim kestrel]

They're doing that to satisfy these people that refuse to want to learn new game mechanics... It makes me cringe the amount of people that I have watch say in this channel they wouldn't buy the game simply because of a brand game mechanic and their main excuse is because it going to feel like an entirely different game.

[astral token]

I would probably buy ARK II, but I want to see what I am paying for first.

I don’t wanna buy a promise

[grim kestrel]

Wildcard doing their consumers better than a lot of AAA companies are at the very least.. 2K literally half *** updates their games and even then only really focus the updates on their money mode.

[astral token]

Atleast those companies show me what my money is being spent on…

[stark moth]

Right? "I won't be buying their new game because it sounds like it'll be a new game." Well.... yeah.

[grim kestrel]

Have you not been tracking their articles in announcement? They are sharing what they can and have stated in the most recent one they will be sharing game play early next year.

[astral token]

I have reservations not about combat or whatever tf those brainless guys rant about, I just don’t want to sponsor something I don’t know jack s**t about

[astral token]

And I pay for knowing what I paid for next year? 🤣

[grim kestrel]

You haven't paid for anything yet, that game play clearly gonna be shown before we can pre-order anything o.O

[astral token]

ASA and ARK II will be bundled, you must buy both q_q

[grim kestrel]

There a popular saying for the word "assume", nothing said it was a bundle. They said it would have a original mode which could mean they just have it be like Primitive Plus on Ark 1

[astral token]

Read and you will learn. 🙂

Xbox Series S/X and PC players will only be able to get it via an ultimate-value bundle known as the ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended AND ARK 2 and will be priced at $49.99. This bundle will be available to purchase from the end of August for up to 1 year (after which ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK 2 will be sold separately).
