6 Years of thousands of people ask if ARK could be fixed.

This game is not even getting close to that amount.

Come back in 5 years, maybe it will be 10% better by then.

But if they keep on nonfixing bugs, even create more each patch, this will likely (like on ARK atm) never be fixed too.

Yeah they broke it alright. I’ve seen a bunch of those and dozens of sods just frozen in time. Hopefully we will get a bug that lets us fly.

You think the game is ready for warpdrive?

I just want lasers. 

To shoot bugs.

LASERS

We just keep on dropping down on the list

When is the last time your pc got a real good dust cleaning?

Also, is the game on SSD?

Next, how is your pc temp when this happens?

" Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost. (Error: 0x887A0006 - 'HUNG')"

The above I seen with a RL friend who really needed to undust inside his pc.

Are you on wifi?

I will try this but what would be causing that? I mean I am sure most people have 2 screens I run three. 

How much ram you got? Maybe its insufficient?

I have tested everything closed every program etc etc. it seems so random. do you think having a second monitor would cause this?

 

its just too bad that they dont even try to help players figure out the issues. 

Yeah, I allready left for this season. Maybe next season they fix 1 or 2 bugs, would be a good start.

Ontopic; very likely it's your second screen. Disconnect it, run ATLAS again and you should be good. If not, quote me again please.

Good luck.

LOL, wake up today to find that at lvl 12 a lvl 60 character murdered me and my 1 tame in our sleep. 

Here goes the forgiving part

True but, you should not advertise something you don't or can't come through with js.

That's even more true, this company is getting well trained in it. 

I left my game as for today. I gave them the benefit of doubt in the beginning of this season. After the artistic lootboxes wich failed dramaticly, the none bug fixes whatsoever and the numerous of lost tames while crossing grids I completely lost faith again.

Now I can concentrate on games wich are finished, run smooth and even lagfree. 

Maybe next season (ROFL how many you guys need to fix all those bugs??), but my guess; 

They are gonna pull the plug now they see nobody believes those drunken piratetales anymore.

After today I'm done with EU PVE. Guess I'll try NA PVP in the hopes that the players will be more forgiving than the game??

Same, altho no PvP I just left.

Well guys, I'm out for this season allready. 

Maybe next season there's some fixed bugs.

Take care all, that goes for the devteam as well. 

I hope you guys do the right thing as priorities will be set.

I still reeling from the fact that I was sad I couldn’t build a warehouse. A WAREHOUSE! In the movie Big with Tom Hanks the company he works for is excited because they have developed a transformer (like Autobot) that can transform back into a building. Tom Hank’s childhood character says, “What’s fun about a building? Who wants to play with the building?” I’m ashamed that I have lost my child-like sense of fun to the point I looked forward to having a building. Shame on me. And shame on you Devs for giving us buildings that don’t even turn into Autobots.

With lasers* mate.

WE NEED LASERS!

Don't see point in warehouse if you have to fight over who places it down 1 per island. Scrap the whole thing and build on a new engine like unreal 5

Hopes and wishes mate. Always good to dream.

Thanks to the warehouses, wich nobody can place, all lawless is becoming 1 big fighting club on PvE.

Get rid of lawless.

Wipe the servers.

AND FIX THOSE BUGS AFTER 2 YEARS.

ffs

I called a 2 weeks ago. Warehouses are absolutely not for everyone to build. People are actually fighting in PvE now to get some room to place.

Lawless is getting a way bigger mess now.

This is a big bust.

And here we have it, we can't place more the one on our island. Thanks for nothing team.

Missing the point. What was the reason for the change? No explanation given. If there is a valid reason, then fine, otherwise why make a change?

ARKlogic.

Old news LOL. You’re a little late to the party. As for the myrhos, it’s extremely easily farmable. If you’re gonna bitch about this, then you’ve got another thing coming. 

Well, can't blame him for using oil as a fuel tho.

Still doesnt change the fact mythos is easy to get.

Can anyone explain to me the absolute insistance on soloplay on a multiplayer server? I can not fathom the NEED to play solo.

Ye, we started out with 5. When te news hit, they where gonna wipe again all except me left.

I think it's fair to say that this happened to most companies the last weeks. 

I personally dont mind being solo, allready done all questst except the FOY the second and third time. Hell, I'm not even sailing better then common brigs/gallies. 

Claiming islands is;

-A; Only for the few wich are online after wipes/new installs. Mostly not for EU players, since these drop in ridiculous times at this end of the world.

-B; Absurd how many islandpoints/islands can be claimed by a little company.

-C; Utterly useless on PvE in the way they are now. Next to the fact huge companies use these to train their members for PvP (wich they use as an excuse to remove buildings, even after they "ok'd" you), they are just not usefull.

In my opinion every single player should get a starterisland. Building by other people should be impossible. This way the playershops have way better chance to survive. These little islands have all mats x1 and are not that big. Lawless and freeports should be gone after next wipe and each grid should have loads of small islands, maybe they can be chosen BEFORE making a toon. 

The cosmetic vendor and his collegues should come available in the playershops.

Alliances between soloplayers (thus their islands) should be way more promoted and newly founded companies should be a lot more work/upkeep. If players decide to team up, their private islands should be wiped clean. The newly required island, wich costed X mats plus gold to aquire, is then some sailing away. After the sail to it, they get only a dock and self buildingrights. To let other players on their island, the founders need to contribute more mats/build/earn points/do quests to make special docks for their visiters. Sort of earning the rights to rent out spots on their island. The more people they want to let play, the more points/mats/etc they need to invest to earn those buildrights.

That's my 50 cents.

Bugfixing can actually be pretty hard and requires time, talent and a systematic approach.

Useless, stupid features, on the other hand, can be thought up by any blithering idiot.

 

These 2 sentences, you dropped the hammer spot on the nail.

How long does a gamingcompany need to get their poo on the road nowadays? 

It took ARK almost 5 years, so perhaps we get lucky in 3.

Yep lost a monkey and a bear from it

2 Bear, a parrot and a monkey as well for me. Loosing tames is a "thingy" for GS/WC.

I think they only way I will enjoy it more is giving it a very long break until dare I say it, they add more content. 

The reason I started this season. So sad to see nothing really being fixed, old bugs still arent squashed. 

This game.

So much potential, buried even deeper then the highest map wich is nowhere to be reached.

Sad.

@Gindorf, don't get me wrong. I love those.

But dont you agree that fixing "day 1" bugs after almost 2 years has a bit more priority then adding a farmhouse? Or even try to fix bugs on a weekly base? 

Make them unbuildable. Like lootdrops on ARK. Couldnt get any easier. So many people have asked for this.

Wouldnt suprise me for a second if this is the last season. The entire game has changed over 540 degrees in the last year, devteams use these new feats as a prestigeproject and all known bugs since release are not even close by being fixed.

The difference between PvE and PvP is, well, none. 

Balance is completely lost as well and players running away very fast now they know all they worked for will be gone in a few months. 

If the new devteam (or the layers above that paygrade) really wanted to make a difference and stand out above the previous team(s), they shouldve bring weekly patches to show they are fixing all known (or at least TRY!!) bugs.

I'm loving alot of aspects, but it's crazy to work around some bugs and still try to have fun.

Are there the same lags there?

During events it's almost impossible for WC to keep te servers stabile. Most officials, even without event, are almost certain of laggyness. So yes, lags are there as well. 

Keep in mind that loads of online based games, with lots of connections worldwide, have lags. This is not just this game/company.
