Resetting a gold rush won't stop it from being a gold rush.

The metaphor is strong with this one.

ARK ATLAS: Come For The Anger, Stay For The Rage!™

Wiping all the servers at the end of each day would be a great way to illustrate the Buddhist concept of impermanence.

Can't have a party without piñatas!

Second star to the right, and straight on till morning.

Alas, Oz always gets the short end when it comes to ping times.

Just one of the many disadvantages of being so far from New Rome the U.S.

Finally! Something we all have in common.

Welp, i just stopped reading right there.

Thankfully for all of us, reading is not a prerequisite for commenting.

Man, you get all the fun!

Because you thought that an untested, unplayed game with a planned 2 year beta would perform well on day one?

Not at all.

I'm just contrarian by nature.

Dude.

Tame it!

I mean, after you either respawn or use Will Ferrell's alternative solution in the Land of the Lost movie.

If it's not excessive, I'd love to see what is.

I think the outrage is real, and the potential is artificial.

If the servers don't wipe you, the megas will.

I'm beginning to suspect the official servers may not be entirely reliable...

A real DLC wouldn't take my compies away.

I managed to get into a freeport and, judging from all the sleeping people around me, I wasn't the only one.

Couldn't get my framerate above 12fps on any graphics setting, but I did manage to run around the starter island a bit, get overheated, hit Level 2 without doing anything and admire all the moonwalking wildlife.

10/10 for authentic early access experience.

Well hey, maybe.

I just tend to find the most pessimistic interpretation to be the most accurate.

I think they're still working on the servers:

That said, I'm still holding out for version 288.115.

That's what I'm looking for.

Not that the public servers don't offer an exquisite degree of collective aggravation to appreciate.

Rather that private servers offer a more personalized form of anguish better suited to my admittedly exotic tastes in gaming frustration.

Being angry is what I love most about this game.

I recommend fava beans and a nice chianti.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
