    ticket was submited for the past few weeks (everyday also )  im spamming different forums at this point. any other questions? 

    We just put up the support system a couple days ago. If you were submitting these, it definitely was not through the support system and can be very easily overlooked, as is the usual case when a fairly small team has to oversee a massive, passionate, and vocal player base.

    This review is on Steam.  Is it true?

    "Whoever gives this game a 'thumbs up' is lying to you. - probably written by staff members and their family of the game developer and publisher. The game is 100% completely unplayable because there is no land to build on. ALL of the land is completely taken by other players. It literally WILL NOT allow you to build anything, nothing. WARNING - you will be wasting your money if you buy this game - there is NO land to build on, and I explored almost every island in the game - look at my hours played - all of that was exploring the seas on a raft only to discover that there's zero land to build on - super boring. Also, if you're lucky enough to find a small patch of land or able to steal a piece of land from someone then trust me when I tell you that someone 60 levels higher than you will take your land away from you within minutes or a few hours - a complete waste of time - find a better game to play."

    I would think that since you're the author of the review that you would know if it's true or not.

    um... the sailing speed... is that a completely empty ship with 1 person who doesn't have anything on them? or is that fully weighted down trying to get your resources to an island where you're trying to build up outside of the freeport? 

    A raft is not a cargo hauler.

    I'm pursuing the thread due to the comments from moderators now.

    The answer's I've seen from all of the moderators regarding banter have all been "Take it private or deal with it in game".

    1.) How is that a professional answer?

    2.) How is that a professional way to go about it?

    3.) How does that fix anything?

    4.) See below for ON TOPIC discussion.

     

    if you want me to contribute to the topic and your last paragraph by all means i will.

     

    Ships of the Damned attacking rafts are going to DESTROY any sort of new players trying to explore on rafts to find somewhere. Rafts can't hold a ton of weight. They should not be targeted by ships of the damned ESPECIALLY considering there are still so many instances of loading into a zone while sailing that you load directly into a swarm of them. Rafts have enough to deal with running from whales. Why make it even harder on new players trying to get somewhere in the game?

    On a side note, i enjoy the game. The professionalism from the moderators on here is beyond not anywhere to be seen though. Good luck guys.

    Rafts have the second lowest SoD aggro range right next to dinghys, and have one of the highest, if not the undisputed highest, sailing speed among ships. These factors should more than easily allow for a player on a raft to evade these perils.

    His specific post in this thread is very much a very "slight" disturbance compared to some of his previous conversations and from what i've seen while digging around there's no "report user" option. It's literally just a report post. He's got hundreds of posts i'm not going to waste my time to get a troll kicked off of some forums that the moderator's cant seem to do much on. Good luck guys. Very disappointing.

    So does this mean you believe that the mature thing to do is to derail a thread by kicking up a fuss over what you yourself admitted to be a "slight" disturbance?

    It is a non-issue. His post in this thread is a non-issue. Move on and either ignore the user, discuss something relevant to the topic, or just stop perusing a thread with a user you dislike.

    As to the OP, Ships of the Damned are still being monitored for balance changes. Unfortunately that's one of the things that can easily slip past QA because well, knowledge and experience can easily blind a person with bias. We all in testing end up having knowledge about how the myriad creatures and enemies work so what ends up easy to us due to experience could end up being a difficult battle for those that have yet to encounter them.

    You're a moderator. You're aware of the situation... ????

    Also by all means, if there's a way to report a member and not just his post... please, inform us.

    If you report a member's post, any disciplinary action taken affects the User.

    As for this specific user in mind, there is nothing disrespectful nor harassing about saying "maybe because it's a sloop". While it's true that it does downplay what damage that type of ship can dish out, it in no way disrespects anyone.

    advertising 40,000 people in a server set the expectation that 40,000 people were going to buy your game and play at launch. This was the expectation. 38,263 people were playing at peak time.(reference here https://store.steampowered.com/stats/ ) It would seem to me that you failed to meet this goal flat out.

    You're right that 40,000 was the expectation, and we set it above and beyond that. The number of people that were trying to squeeze into that 40,000 people wide doorway however, far exceeded even what we had set above and beyond that.

    How could it not be accounted for?

    This is an issue in Ark with less players. It was completely and totally, 100% with absolutely no possible excuses, predictable that it would happen here. There is not unexpected. 

    Then how come this exact issue has happened, every single time you guys (Studio Wildcard) has ever launched any major content patch for Ark for four years? How come no other gaming studios have *nearly* the issues Wildcard does? Why is every single launch date and ETA you guys have ever released been missed by a window of at least weeks?

     

    In reality, no. It's just incompetence. Sure. There are reasons why you guys are incompetent, but this isn't new. This happens each and every time. If you guys cared, it wouldn't. It's that simple. 

    You seem to be complaining about a different matter entirely. I'm addressing the issue about connecting on to servers, which is something that we did try to account for. Like I said, even with all the planning we did, the sheer amount of people trying to connect from the americas, from europe, from china, oceania, etc. all still vastly exceeded those plans.

    I mean if you cared, you would have fixed it in the four years it has been a rampant problem in Ark. 

    This is a situation that, given the scale and size of how much people looked forward to this, just could not properly be accounted for. Did we account for mass purchases of the game when it's made available? Yes we did, yet steam still got all wonky. Did we account for tons of players from all over the world trying to join in the moment the servers go up? You bet. Yet even then actuality still vastly exceeded our already sizeable preparations. It's just one of those situations where you plan big, then plan bigger than your big plan, but your plans still don't size up to the situation at hand.
