Kentren 4 Posted January 24, 2019 24 minutes ago, Implicitlee said: Devs have you ever heard the expression "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" WTF you done to the materials needed for crafting Stone, now you need Metal AND Organic paste, I get using metal in the gates that has always been fine but now you added it to every thing please just for once use your brains and rollback this change, you screwed the game up last patch now you are just making it worse. THIS!!!! You should listen and stop trying to make this game as hard as you can. Seriously back off my stone.... especially considering the places it is needed the most cant mass product the paste (K2 has literally no sugars of any kind) Stop screwing your player base.

Thor Ragnarock 99 Posted January 24, 2019 First people complain resources are slow to gather to get going in a ship. Then they buff rates to 2x. Then they add 3x cost to stone gates and massive alloy cost. Now they add metal and organic paste to stone and increase the cost on thatch by 3. 1 Step forward a leap back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caldrin 55 Posted January 24, 2019 Lol wow ok this entire patch is a bit stupid really... From the need of organic paste to construct stone lol to the silly idea of making smaller ships doing no damage to larger ones when ramming . Sure reduced damage but no damage is just stupid.

It's a meta that should be left in ARK. It's less about the gates, and more about actual stone buildings. If they want to leave the paste on the gates fine, but for stone buildings, again completely ruins the game for those in 40% of the map that doesn't have Sap makes it way to hard to live there and upgrade. That's my issue 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CypressFrost 5 Posted January 24, 2019 Ok, Devs. "We understand that we can't make the game as hardcore as we'd like." Then whats with the new Stone cost?! I get why PvP might want it, so others can't build stone and easier to raid. Have you looked at ALL at your PvE fan base? This? Just screwed us. The Stone was the only way to defend against Alphas. Are you listening to ALL your players or just the PvP branch? You nerfed the flame arrows, (though that helped us PvE people to deal with Alphas,) you have given us very little in the gathering with tames department, and we can't breed. You have a whole nother bevy of customers over here. And like it or not, us PvE'ers will be the ones still here when the PvP people get tired and move on. We like to hoard and build and collect. I've played games that sold special mounts and spent over $400+, and I know many of the people I play with now have the same mentality. We build, and we sit on it. But if we can't defend it, (which we can't because flame arrows suck, and stone costs to much now,) then whats the point. If you'd listen to your PvE community more you'd realize that we're the ones who'll be here supporting y'all. PvP players quickly move on once they've gotten they're fix and change out often. PvE players are in it for the long haul. Please at least consider our input. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kentren 4 Posted January 24, 2019 I hope by god grace you are actually listening to your player base. Stop the gimmicks stop the bullshi.... just fix the bugs and consider viable updates you know maybe even consider talking to your player base before screwing it?? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raunyc 4 Posted January 24, 2019 Wow, with the scarcity of Organic paste in the polar/tundra regions, how are those populations supposed to build anything remotely defensible now... A small amount of metal wouldn't be too unreasonable, like 5-10 metal would be reasonable to me. Instead, now the northern groups that aren't massive are going to be stuck in wood buildings. IMO the explosive buff was needed, however, this cost for stone needs to be immediately undone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kolpo 81 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Glad my base is already build. This will hurt PVP servers the most, people are oke with me coming to their island to farm sap(or iron) on PVE. But something is telling me that people are not that welcoming in PVP. Edited January 24, 2019 by kolpo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Senkoau 51 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Came home tonight intended to pay for a private server to escape the insanity that offical ones are becoming only to see the latest patch. . .puts credit back in wallet lets hold off on renting a server till I'm sure the dev's aren't deliberately trying to make the game fail. Because honestly the latest series of patch's really make me wonder if that isn't what they're after because they just make unwelcome change after unwelcome change. I don't see how making a stone wall half metal and require organic paste can be considered a good idea when as said entire sectors of the map have no sap or other sources of paste at all. 2 minutes ago, Implicitlee said: Ok another person not really thinking before posting yes this is NOT ark (we actually it mainly is) In Ark they have Thatch Structures Wood Structures Stone Structures Metal Structures Tech Structures In Atlas they now have Thatch Structures Wood Structures Metal Structures (but it is called stone) Did that clear it up for you, they have created metal and removed stone and forgot to rename it. please load up ark and look at crafting requirements for stone and metal then come back and I will accept your apology.
