I always used to be pretty active on the Ark Forums, posting a few good ideas about the gameplay in general. I am hardly looking there anymore... But I think the survival aspect is too weak now. We all know the maps, we all know the drill, so adding new weird creatures is practically only giving the PvE breeding community a new creature to breed. PvP wise it is practically P2W because the next PvP "dimension" comes from a payed dlc... There are modded servers for better immersion and whatever, but the modders arent having an easy time neither and the modded servers players base is very dispersed... Alltogether, its all supposed to be just a remaster, why add all this stuff? It should be about finetuning the game, not adding new items and creatures every time they find a new option or button in the new Engine... They forget about finetuning alltogether, its buggy, badly optimized, etc etc... If adding anything, they should try to add more passive gameplay mechanics changes...

still waiting for them to bring back the old building mechanics from ASE

I think I've been with Ark since 2015 and I've loved the game, bred my terror birds and toads. Was a little sad when they wiped the Evolved servers. I'm just disappointed how long they're taking to reintroduce content in ascended and feels like they're just milking it for as much as they can while delaying Ark 2 even further. So for now, I just play it casually in single player evolved on my Switch as I wait for things during work.

PVE disagree with you 100%. Your opinion is just that...YOURS. Keep in mind, we CHOOSE how to play because we CHOOSE how to play. Why put restrictions in areas where it doesn't even affect PVP? Why does your audience need to dictate gameplay? It's ridiculous.

Não vejo problema nenhum com o Pyromane, prefiro ele do que o lagado Oasisaur sem utilização nenhuma. Uma porcaria de criatura

A discordo,Ark perdeu a essência dele desde dos mapas Gênesis,onde a WC não sabia mais o que inventar. Se tem gente consumindo ASA então é por que gostaram do rumo que o jogo está levando

ARK IS DEAD worse than it has ever been utter trash

Absolutely, nice video. I quit Ark when Pyromain came out.

I mean, a live game needs to make money. Some games are charging 20$ for a recolor, so Ark actually has pretty reasonable pricing. Rainbow 6: Siege turned to fairly predatory monetization and went from an old dying game to #3 on Steam. Apparently it's what the people want..

I see no problems with skins, they can be turned off.

🎯

Well said!

i understand you and i feel the same

i have TOTAL PLAYED 2,993.2 hours on ark survival evolved and since ascended launched i never wanted to buy just coz i knew it would be pay 2 win and i hate it pay 2 win ruins every game and i will not support creators any more sadly since ark is my favorite game and i have soo many good memories of it

Thx for your thoughts Tiia. These decisions have been killing my motivation to even come back to asa not that i can even log on on consol anyways dude to crashes.😢

Totally with you, well technically youre with me now as ive had this feeling since asa launched. Poor series S performance, a butchered build system and now pay to win dlc. Wouldnt care if it was trinkets and skins. But op dinos being behind a pay wall isnt fair. I and many others will be un able to buy.

Preach

All this new stuff and im still getting 20 fps on my xbox series x.

Don't play ASA and ASE, these games are full of bugs, cheaters, p2w content and without balance. Wild Card don't know how to make ARK good for us.

I loved ASE. I bought every map and definitely got my monies worth. I played on the Xbox official and unofficial servers since early development. I tried ASA but I just couldn't get into it. Ascended is nice looking but it's missing the old magic for me. I check back in on ASA every six months. It feels like the game is more broken every time that I check.

You mentioned there are other games like ark now, what games are these and is there anything on consoles?

HEAR! HEAR!!! This is basically a variation of conversations I have had. ARK... If you are not going to expand your team, expand the time spent on fixing issues with ARK and slow the rollout of new features and focus on getting the maps done, including the additional maps. Include some TLC content and look at dino balances as you go. AND MOST OF ALL... any NON CANNON content, including Fantastic Tames and Bob's Tall Tales gets moved to USE the official maps, but does not appear on them by default, and how they are handled are in the hands of the Admins, so they can join but have to buy it, or they are given a notice when joining that the server contains unpurchased content, what it is, and the player can decide if they want to join. And beat the Pyromane with a nerf hammer.

More crying ark video thumbs down 👎🏿

Honestly this video is really well done and highlights a lot of issues that I was feeling myself. It's why I went back to ASE.

The pyro is just a pocket Dino to make up for the terrible cryo changes. PvP- cries about throwing gigas out, and cries about not being able to pick people up because all they have to do is morph the pyro and boom, get away. Pve doesn’t care. It helps from having to throw out a Dino from base and walk it LITERALLY across the map just to do a cave run. It’s not OP, and see literally no issues with it. How else do you think they are going to make money to finish the maps? They haven’t even paid off their loans to begin with, and the player numbers are dropping DAILY. Go cry elsewhere people.

So your mad that you dont get to monetize the game is basically what your saying

She said 10 year ark has only been out 9

When I got the pyromane I taught the fantastic creatures was multimap package. but apparently it is not. Since its pretty powerful, this is getting bad on the "pay to win" side.

Immersion? 😂

Abb, ext, gen 1 and 2 are pay to play. So I don't really see the difference.

I agree 100% with this video

My biggest issue with the Pyromane as a PvE player isn't that it is op or breaks things or that you are forced to buy it to be competitive... its how very, very lazy it is. Its just a reskin. Hard to get more lazy than that... ... for $5. ugh

To me its just a game so i will just stop playing, I think youtubers worry more an get more emotional due to its how they earn a living. But no game will be around forever.

To me, buying ASA after getting everything for ASE only a year before felt like a slap in the face, and I've just been sticking with ASE single player this whole time. Yeah it's lonely, but it's better than getting ripped off by the dev repeatedly. Like you, I grew up poor, and after some time in industry, am back to being poor, so there's just no way I could justify spending money on a game like this. There are plenty of other games that I can spend my time with, without game breaking bugs, and after dealing with all the still remaining bugs that ASE is still left with, and seeing the new bugs in ASA, you just know that these devs aren't going to fix them, and are solely going to keep doing money grabbing stunts. They've made too many bad decisions over the years, and now they're sunk. It's only a matter of time before everyone finally realizes this. Either Snail sells off Wildcard to someone who cares, or keep watching it getting worse.

i got fed up with ASA in feburary, i am playing ASE still on a private cluster, it definitely lost alot of with the official shutdown.. but i still enjoy ASE on private more than ASA in any form

It sucks to pay, but how are we gonna fund the development of the game? If we keep with the free free free they're gonna owe more money, They Are NOT profiting from us, they OWE still, for ASE servers.... think about it, how are they going to continue making money without a way to make money.... kids I tell ya

I sympathize whole heartily. When my friend group started on ASE we just ran into so the many issues with officials. We made the jump to unofficial clusters but even that has its own problems as well, eventually we made up our own private ASA cluster. its not perfect either but we have slightly more say how we play and enjoy this game. I know its not everyone's cup of tea or feasible due to the extra cost and effort. Thought without those options would never stuck around with ARK for as long as we have. I also feel how hard it can hit after so long, ARK feels like home for many of us and to lose that feeling is a tough one.

I just want to be able to sit straight in my saddle.

Gonna be a controversial opinion, but keep in mind i play pure pve on private server with friends on xbox. We love ASA, first time having access to all the mods has breathed much life into the game for us and we also have been enjoying the fantastic tames and bobs tall tales packs as we think they're cool content and much prefer them over having to rebuy the maps we already bought in ase. I can see though especially for pvp how the fantastic tames would be a pain.

I am new to the ark world compared to most, and what you said has a lot of valed points. I dont have a lot of experience with the old pvp and pve worlds, but all in all, I love ASA. On that same hand, I can see the money grab game WC and SG are playing, and it is starting to bother me that they can't fix a lot of the "OLD" bugs I read and hear about. I hope the higher-ups see ur video.

I have 4 issues with ASA. 1: the utterly astonishing lack of QA and bug fixes. I mean this alone renders the game an absolute embarassment when compared to most other titles. 2: the Pyromane is a lazy OP shadowmane ripoff. I don't even mind paid DLC but it needs to be worth it and the Pyromane isn't even creatively inspired. 3: the lack of official server moderation. 4: the Center "remaster" is literally a downgrade, lol All of these issues could have been addressed in ASA and not one of them was (in fact the Pyromane was just released and still hasnt been nerfed and the Center was delayed and still released in an embarassing state.) It often feels like WC just doesn't take itself nor its customers seriously.

I agree with you, my lofe has been shite, for the last 15 yrs, and ark is my escape. As ive said before id still be on ase if my ps4 could handle it, or if they'd of fixed the crashing when played on ps5. I believe its snail pulling the strings to milk their cash cow, which as ive also said before they will wrink every last drop out of even if, and they eventually will, kill said cow.

I’m playing ASE….. I hate ASA with all my heart heart

I agree. I love the pyromane but I HATE the way people are forced to open their wallet for 1 single and even overpowered creature.😢 my tribe mate got it and without owning the creature itself I can't even look in the inventory😢 so I was forced to buy it with a massive nasty taste in my mouth😭 they are going about things the wrong way. It's sutch a shame. If all the bugs would get fixed ark could have soo mutch potential but not with the pay to win BS

I'm still playing but the Center has really shown how many people are not as engaged with the game as before. Many 'hardcore' pve players have chosen not to even start on the Center. It's worrying, I still love the game and also love my pyro but I am deeply concerned the game is becoming something I'm not interested in (p2w, RMT, unfairness). I want everyone to be on a level playing field. I do wish some sort of crowdfunding could be set up to open a new 'official' ASE PVE network, I'd pay a monthly subscription to play the game I love and to play along with large numbers like only the official network or a collective co-op endeavour could create.

If i were being honest with the custom game mod thing they did with the Mickey skin of Ark & Power Rangers i feel the same about the cosmetics tho further It feels like they are basically trying to make ASA Fortnite or something like Roblox, 'Make the game the way you want it' Except your ruining ARK by doing that 🤷‍♀️

I agree this direction is not the best but it was taken because of the uproar to not pay for the new maps. They have to make money which is their bottom line. I think it'd be better to have a cosmetic pay place similar to fornite and other games. I'd love to buy custom skins vs a dino that some tribemates bought and others didn't. Honestly I wouldn't have minded paying for maps either.
