    Oh they have decided. They just haven’t said it.

     I'm just waiting for the moment they say there'll be no more wipes.   Then I'll probably be back.   Too many other games to play.

    So I know that most of the team has gone to grapeshot, and Wildcard has reorganized and rehired.  There's also some cross pollination going on, with each studio helping each other. 

    So any idea who's working on Ark Genesis and who's still with Atlas?  Because I'd find it hard to believe the original Ark team wouldn't want to be working on the new Ark season pass.

    Nope. Never played pve or unofficial or single player in ark. All types of pvp. Official/small tribe/no tame/hardcore servers.

    abd I have played a lot of survival games. The only reason I haven’t played this one because it hasn’t came out on console yet.

    what point were you trying to make? Of course you build a base. Economy has nothing to do with your base. It’s a pvp game, you need a base. A base could never be worthless because it serves a purpose.

    right now gold upkeep only has one purpose. Time sink.

    I see you have a lot of experience in this forum... even though you don't have the game.   Is there a block option? Can you test it out by blocking me? I just don't like scrolling through irrelevant stuff.

    Your statement is an admission you didn't fundamentally understand the nature of Early Access, since Early Access is access to a game still under development and wipes are a perfectly valid part of the development process. To be fair, some of the responsibility for your lack of understanding lies with the industry, which so far has chosen not to clearly define to the consumer what Early Access is or set standards for what qualifies a game for Early Access status.  Thus you as the consumer are left with the Early Access label slapped across products of wildly varying levels of completion and quality.

    Given that you are not the first nor the hundredth person to post here making this complaint, I would suggest part of the level of transparency companies should seek when using the early access model is to clearly state upfront before a consumer purchases the game that wipes are a possibility in this Early Access game. Given the significant backlash Atlas has experienced over this, I think this would be a prudent move on GrapeCard™ and other developers part even though some of the responsibility for understanding what you were purchasing lies with you.

    @Jatheish do you think Jeremy and Jess would agree this is an advisable best practice going forward, or would they prefer for many players to continue to quit in frustration because GrapeCard™ chose to be part of the problem where EA is concerned rather than part of the solution?

    I'm just using my experiences with Ark as the base for my knowledge on the issue

    Yep. And believe me the game knowledge is a very big advantage already. I could get from 1-80 in a few hours. Especially on the island.

    for the second part, yeah man I get what they did but they left a bad taste for a lot of people. Not just that but there is only 4 clusters this time. Are they going to make 4 new clusters or just wipe? And if they don’t actually make the 8 total clusters for new and legacy are they just going to leave things as is?

    they tried to please everyone which I am pretty sure a smart guy like you knows that will never work. Always go off what the majority wants and not the minority.

    i think you know where I am going with this. The minority is the people saying “the game is fine the way it is”. It just isn’t.

    Wait, aren't you the person who doesn't even have the game?

    Which wipe was that then?

    As to the op..  factions is a tried and tested system, the biggest problem with it, is when everyone picks the same side.. the others get ganked.  Then you have to limit numbers in fights, then limit skill levels and before you know it.. dead game.

    I don't mind factions being in a game, but I also don't like being forced into one.

    There was a single wipe a couple of months after Early Access release due to an exploit.  After that any exploits that were discovered were patched and dealt with on an individual basis.

    We know there are going to be multiple wipes.  We don't know when that is going to be.  The game is pretty good, not perfect but it is getting there.  The problem is, as far as I'm concerned and a lot of my friends that used to play it is the whole instability issue.  Why put effort in now when it could wipe any time?  Would rather just wait for final release where we can be guaranteed a decent amount of time to keep our work.  That is of course depending on the state of the game upon final release.

    We've been making the best of the pre- wipe conditions, hopping islands and doing treasures.  Parked our galleon at The Withered Island in N10 in NA PVE Hydra's Den for a few hours, and come back to this...

    With PVE relying on pillars a whole lot more after the wipe, the no-lifers are gonna have a field day.

    True but they are still losing their stuff. That is just something we can keep in mind to feel like a win on the little guys part.

    sure nothing will change later on but for now the Megas are losing all their stuff lol

    They don't care about "their stuff" they care about relative strength compared to everyone else, and hours after a wipe they will be exponentially more advanced than before compared to everyone else.

    They listen and make changes as fast as they can. Better than a lot of other dev teams their size. If its a full wipe their will be enough new and good stuff to start all over again. Better be thinking ahead.

    But a total wipe is necessary. Everyone starts over, no unfair advantages this time. Look, when the servers reboot back up after the wipe, some fixes that will improve the game will be way less gate spam, pillar spam, foundation spam. New content, bonus XP for ONE character to level faster, and hopefully some other stuff folks have mentioned.

     One of many future wipes before launch

    P.S. The answer is NOT to make water jugs weigh 100 and Water Skins to Weigh 50.  Barrels... should be a lot lighter.

    Haha one of my company mates mentioned this to me when i said i was going to make a thread about it.  He was like "knowing wildcard they will probably make water jugs weigh 200 to fix the problem, DON'T SAY ANYTHING".

  21. Posted · Edited by Tanchyon

    Placing water barrels on ships is currently not very feasible.   They weigh far too much when full for the amount of water they hold. 

    Take water skins for instance.   They hold 100 water, enough to fill your water level to full, the equivalent of 1 litre.

    Water jugs weigh just 5 and hold the equivalent of 2 litres. 

    Water barrels weigh 500 full and hold the equivalent of 5 litres.

    It just doesn't make sense.   Either water barrels need to hold a lot more water or the way water barrels measure the weight of water needs to change. 

    Just a quality of life suggestion as I think that this might have been overlooked.  My company for one would like to utilize the aesthetic of water barrels on a ship, rather than the old "blue chest filled with water jugs".

    Did you log in and out? That's the first thing to do.   Otherwise you need to craft oil blobs.  Place about 10 to 15 around and under your rhino.  Soon the therapeutic qualities of fire will rid your existence of this problem.
