P4TM4N 1 Posted January 9, 2019 I've spent the last weeks bragging about this games potential, only to have my guts ripped out by not even being able to do anything of important when I logged in this morning. Foundation sprawl has brought the game to a screeching halt. No spawns of anything, not even a pack of OP wolves to eat me. How could you release a patch with out even the slightest test. "oh if we do that there won't be anything spawn". I know it's early access, but good god this is embarrassing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percieval 1,067 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Maybe because we are the testers? You’re part of the testing program. Edited January 9, 2019 by Percieval 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolognapwny 137 Posted January 9, 2019 This is an ALPHA... (pretty much) stop your damn crying play the game, test it, report bugs, and make suggestions.... its gonna be a long 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildbill 142 Posted January 9, 2019 Also, don't recommend the game to anyone that isn't fully aware of how this company does releases during early access and that we are the testers. I ask people if they are going to play Atlas (where they have already decided for themselves). If they ask if I recommend the game, I say yes, but ... Me, I test software for a living, so totally get their process and why it is what it is. I also am very good at identifying bugs and workarounds for them. Mostly they aren't a big deal to me, I'm expecting them and ready for most of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dingiva 16 Posted January 9, 2019 A guy play an early access game and cries about testing stuff BEFORE they release it? Thats so funny. DeGeneration Next. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vaenix 131 Posted January 9, 2019 1 minute ago, Case of the Scurvy said: Are these servers stopping the hate? They are never going to. Streamers really popularized hating this game, and people are acting insanely entitled expecting a perfect game to be released in an alpha state. You are not going to ever stop people from hating a game, they want to hate. If you like the game then try your best to provide constructive criticism and ideas that can be worked into the main game, they may not all get put in but there was definitely community impact in Ark during it's development.

If we put money in this game, we know that all those problems and bugs will happend, thats why Steam advice us before we buy it: ""Get immediate access and get involved with this game as it develops. Notice: This game with early access is not finished and may or may not change later. If you are not excited to play it in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game advances further in its development." We accepted to be the teasters, so, we must be patient otherwise, you should not have bought the game. Patient my friend, patient is the key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4TM4N 1 Posted January 10, 2019 Sorry you guys missed the point. game will die on the vine if it's a catastrophic patch. I want it to succeed. I've beta tested for years to help and most have been small incremental adjustments, never massive changes all at once, make it very hard to trouble shoot when you include that many variables at once. First impressions are everything. I know what i was getting into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for testing! /shrug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
