About 60% of the times i travel to another zone my client crashes. If someone is on the ship or on another ship nearby they also crash. Is there a fix for this? loosing ships to sotd is starting to wear me out.

As long as chinese gamingcompanies are pumping in money into Studio Grapecard you will not see any action from them.

As you probably have seen in the forums and on twitter, soloplayers and small companies are left crippled and unable to enjoy game after the talentnerf. Not one single word about this is a really shitty behaviour from your side. A ton of players feels left in the gutter and you act like it is raining. Get your fucking act together and make the game enjoyable for soloplayers or offer refunds! I have been playing Ark since start of EA and not nothing to did there can compare what you did to soloplayers. Stop this shit and give us an answer! If you have interest in making it friendly for soloplayers then give us a refund! 30hrs of play and 25euros down the drain!

I love how there's this huge community and one guy pops in trying to spout b.s. and gets shut down but keeps trying... give up man. At the moment soloplaying = no go

Probably just a kid that is trying to up hes postcount.

This game is still an early access, I think that’s what you were looking for. There will be solo friendly unofficial servers and on ARK there has never been a solo friendly official server so what made people believe this (which from the reveal was already clear that this would be much harder for solo’s) was more solo friendly? 

They’re testing stuff out to make it ‘perfect’ at launch in 2 years. From all the comments and flaming from the people on the forums they will probably change it to a bit less. See how that goes.

But in my opinion thinking that surviving as a solo player on an official server with 39,999 other people fighting over 700 islands would be somewhat ‘easy’ or whatever is a optimistic. That’s probably why they invented the whole government system (that is not working out really). 

Point me in the direction of an unofficial that has a full cluster of servers that is guaranteed to be alive for 3-4 years and i will try it out. Comparing this to official Ark is just silly. I have run Ark clusters with official rates for years and i never had any problems with stuff i had to sacrifice in the engramlist. 

So it would be better not to vent your opinion on the forum when Studio grapecard is messing things up? Sounds logical.

The server cant fit 40k players, so yeah. Who said it would be easy? But as it is right now, soloplayer is getting shat on.

A serious company is having a team of inhouse testers. But i seriously think that Jat is mashing some buttons in a couple of minutes and then greenlight it for release. There have been issues with the game that never should have been allowed to leave pre-early access. i dont doubt they want to release a good game, but att the same time they try to cut costs too agressive and we have to pay for it in constantly delayed ETA's and bugs that really shouldnt have hit live servers.

Nobody is stopping you from doing the same as what you did on WoW. 

in wow i could ride mount, both on land and in air, i had a ton of professions to choose from. i never had a feeling of being punished. now there is a fuckton of usefull "must have" things that i have to sacrifice. That is MY point of view. Yours are clearly another.

You don’t have to be in a group to play this game. But solo MMO’ing is extremely hard so I wish them all the best of luck! It does need trading at some point so that will be interesting. 

I was solo in Wow for years, that didnt punish me what so ever. What i couldnt do solo i did with others. i want to be able to tame, build and craft what i need. not hoping that someone on my island is willing to help out without skinning me for what little i have

Why are you making a new thread about a problem you already told us your thoughts about in other threads? 

I did this thread before most of them, if not all of them. Having a thread about an issue does it make inappropiate to reply in other threads about the same topic? got something constructive to add to my post?

Hey, im not gonna troll you or anything, im just gonna point out that this game is an MMO.

 

Nothing else needs to be said

Thanks for pointing out that this is an mmo :). as i said in an earlier reply i have played mmo's for years but this really takes the price. Am i supposed to have choose between being able to defend myself against snakes, built a house, built a boat or tame a monkey? If this was Blizzard doing these kind of changes i would be standing in Orgrimmar right now and doing nothing.

I’m going to try and get a refund from steam since it’s essentially unplayable as a two man group now.  Slim chance I get it but worst case I at least know not to buy it on console now.  

Yeah its beyond me that crapshot games did something like this. I have played mmo's for 11-12 years and never have i seen anything this punishing for soloplayers. mindboggling to say the least.

I'm playing duo with my friend and we noticed the same thing that some of the skills requires way too many skillpoints right now. But we found many blueprints when we sailed in the sea looking for flotsams until all the ghost ships rekt us in 5 minutes. So I guess you can try to look for all the blueprints needed and try to save some skillpoints from that. BUT some of the needed skills needs the blueprint skills anyway so prolly you can't save much skillpoints finding blueprints. I'm not playing until they fix the ghost ship and predator spawns.. That is the main issue right now.

Thanks for the info, but as things looks like now i dont really enjoy the game so i wait and see if devs come to their senses or alternatively agrees to a refund.

As a skilltree that includes structures and items the whole thing should be split into engrampoints for structures and items and a skilltree for spells/abilitys.

Another solution would be to offer refund to those who no longer can play the game due to a shitty and punishing skilltree.

Who the fuck wants to just do ONE thing?

in MMO's players looking for groups ONLY for raids and pvp

Exactly! I played wow for 8 years, swtor for 2 years and Eso for a few months, and not once i felt crippled by any skilltree. Now i can only count pixels.

Just now, Percieval said:

MMO’s are usually for groups of players, but you can always look for a solo friendly private server.

Yeah i could and only get 10-20% of the map and the risk of it shutting down at any moment.

So the new patch brought big changes to the skilltree and made the game practically impossible for solo/small groups to play. This is a huge mistake by Grapeshot as there is probably alot of small groups out there with players that dont have any interest in teaming up with people they dont know. So what am i supposed to do now? Count how many pixels my half built stonehouse is made of? ffs Grapeshot you really know how to piss people off.

Im also a soloplayer. the few people i know is playing pvp and i play pve. I dont like teaming up with i dont know so whats my options? uninstall? This game went from fun to just pisses me off. 

Hi!

I have just built the dinghy ship hangar and i am trying to connect it to my small shipyard. But i cant find any snap points. Does anyone know how to use it?

Thanks

This would have been a walk in the park if my island actually had some stuff like oregano, garlic etc on it.
