They need new devs or they need to give a strict talk to their devs because the game is dying based on cheaters ruining the game causing people to quit
Goodluck taking to that dev team. They only listen to the noobs on single player and modded servers. They don't listen to people that actually play the real game.

Lmao when I used to play ark the same thing happened, while we were getting raided by meshing and aimbot the dev joined our server and sent a message saying to stop then left the server
It’s weird because I’ve had the opposite experience where every cheater I’ve encountered gets banned on offi. I’m assuming it’s because I get the same dev and there’s probably lazy devs that don’t do anything.
@Eduardo Juárez Game still has all the bugs from when it was in green light and a few new ones. These are the guys who are so lazy that the game is still using the default UE4 folder name.
Let me share a story, there was a mega tribe in Ark that's been in existence since early access called Stray Cats. This tribe had a friendlier, more chill attitude compared to other mega tribes. They werent focused on PvP or griefing, just enjoying the game as a community. For some reason the biggest, most aggressive tribes in Ark decided to take them down [A-Team/BLDX]. They brought their whole alliance to wipe SC off the Ark. Since then, SC have been the main target of new exploits, bugs, cheats and we would provide Wildcard with video proof and information so they can counter those exploits, which they did gradually; but as a tribe, we were never compensated in anyway. It's worth noting that SC also had a strong alliance that did their best to defend them [YSS/NNN]. Months pass, and the war conitnues, then the Ark developers decide to completely wipe SC, why? Apparently you're not allowed to defend yourself against cheaters, you're supposed to sit and watch while they ruin everything you've been working on for years. And yes, the SC community is still in existence and strong, but we wont be back to Ark.
in a recent video by H.O.D its shown that A-team was owned by the founder of snail games, Snail games legit had a mega tribe and would cheat often, but used their power over wildcard to give themselves immunity to bans and admin privileges
Use to play tf2 competitively see’s a hacker. All I use to think That’s cute mate And proceeded to kill them with crossbow bolts and ubersaws XD. And both my weapons were named to roast cheaters
If you're playing solo you should probably just play solo. They have offline and dedicated servers you could play on completely solo. I love Ark but I have a fulltime job and a house to maintain. I simply do not have the time to spend an average of 30hrs raising baby dinos and up to 24hrs taming wild ones. If I had friends that played Ark it might be different, but as I'm the only gamer in my group interested in Ark anymore I only play solo. I I definetly turn up the taming speed and baby maturation rates. I usually run my taming at about 6x or 7x. I think 4x is what official servers run. When I first start out a new playthrough I turn the taming down to about 4x, sometimes a little higher so that I dont instantly tame early things like dodos and dilos. Once I'm going for gigas and spinos and rexes and stuff that's going up yo already 7x. Even on 6 or 7x taming effectiveness it can take close to 3hrs to tame a max level giga. And that's not even counting the hour or so it usually takes to safely knock the bastard out. I occasionally increase the length of daylight as well, depending on the map I'm on. A little extra time to safely do things. Everything else I leave at normal rates for the most part. I always crank platform saddle limits so high the only I need to worry about is weight on my platform saddles. Im playing solo, if I want a fully mobile massive base I'm gonna damn well build one.
Its the vicious cycle of Official. Theres 6 months where they try and enforce, but always fall short. When its time for a DLC to get pushed down our throats, all their efforts focus on the DLC and ignore the Official community. Its absolutely mind boggling to me that a development company would actually host servers under their brand and name but then completely ignore them as if they don't have a responsibility to police them.
If I ever get the money I'm buying Wild Card and change there name Rebrand it and have a good dev team if non do there job Fired and replaced by someone better and keep making Awesome games and Fix ARK and in force Cheating and IP ban cheaters and make ARK great again add more dinosaurs and more cool things and a better character creation in menu and better building in ARK and get Obsidian devs to come on bord
oh ark.... the game was early access and they already hardcore pushing DLC with few waves of DLC planned, they made it full price before release to "make it equal to retail" they made a mod for ark and tried to sell it as "completely new game" should i go on?
I know what you mean i had a full group of 8 friends were banned because 1 china guy in there tribe had the idea to bulid a mesh base they got unbanned but it took 1 month of allot of pain waiting for the devs
They need to region lock china for starters. Every single game needs to region lock them and make them play together cheating is such apart of their culture
When I started playing in 2017 on Official Server 2 of the Island, a tribe of hackers joined and the devs never did anything to fix the problem. At least every tribe had video and photo proof that we submitted to the devs. They meshed through to steal resources, aimbotted and shot through oil nodes, etc. We even found their stream which had proof of their hacking and sent that to devs. Their response was that steam-vac would take care of any hackers. Once a dev also joined the server, entered a kill command on the hackers, and then left like that solved the problem. All the tribes banded together to fight them, but we gave up after about a week and most of us just quit the server. SO it doesn't surprise me to see this.
Imagine being online 24 hours on small tribes, people come to raid u with stego a little bit of pvping bla bla.... suddenly 4 gigas show in front of the entrance and run to the base... all turrets are turned to WILD DINOS plus every time u spawn u just get auto killed in 5 headshots.... great gaming experience i had on small tribes never going to play that crap again
@@Fruitless1 Banned him for showing off how easy it is to mesh. They claimed he was encouraging meshing by showing how ridiculously easy it was to climbing pick into any cave you wanted. Because why fix the problem when you can just ban the people "causing" the problem
@@DuDe-ju6ky those reasons just dont make sense to me. Drawing attention to a severely defective product is a great way to ruin your reputation forever.
@@MakinMoneyISeasy I actually didn't know this was even an issue before seeing this video. Their reputation is fine to alot of people like me who don't know about it. To be honest i didn't like them anymore anyways because they announced Ark 2 before releasing genesis part 2, so i felt seriously ripped off for buying the pass. But my point stands, alot of people dont even know this is such a problem, so the reputation has no dent.
Imagine them having Ark still full of dumb bugs that shouldn't exist, not being able to even mod cheaters.. and yet spending the time to make an Ark 2, which will very likely have the same exact problems.
pve servers are going down really fast.. imo singleplayer or dedicated/non-dedicated are the only options left if you dont want to struggle with the bs of officials servers
@@intolerantes Yeah I am just doing single player atm, if someone wants to hop in and help with boss fights I just throw it to non-dedicated. I was amazed a few weeks ago when I tried 3 or 4 dedicated official pve servers they were all lagg feats, massive drops for the whole server and when I asked about it the people on said it's been like that for months. Apparently wild card doesn't want to allocate the resources those servers need to run well anymore.
Its kinda annoying when you lose a tame to lag in thr ob and they ask for pic of the tame itself but you cant find a way to upload a picture to the tickets
The anti mesh is so dumb I’ve lost so much from it. I lost a really good pump, good flak, a giga, and a bunch of soakers. I was about to raid a base and as a started I disconnected came back and saw I was killed by the anti mesh went back to where my death beam was and saw my stuff was under the map and couldn’t do anything so that made me stop playing for awhile
I have thousands of hours on Ark and I quit because of the cheating. Its out of hand. The game has been out for a long time and nothing has changed and it probably wont.
all they need to do is set a death wall around each cave, and under the mesh. its not really that hard make a rectangle round each cave about 4 foundations thick like the death borders in extinction at the bottom of the cliff or am i wrong to and its actually hard to put a rectangle death boarder a cerrain thickness?
This goes to show that the devs dont care about players - they will drop ark 1 support and just shovel stacks of money to vin diesel and make ark 2. They dont realize how many people wont buy it because of ark 1 and the bugs. Great video man! Keep up the great work.
They already stated a few years in that because of early coding as well as their version of UE4, there is literally 0 way to properly fix the issues ark has without fully starting from scratch. I'm not saying some of their devs aren't lazy, just that it isn't as black and white as you're making it seem.
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken So what they propose is for us to continue to play a broken game where thousands of man hours spent working out how to defend a base from known assaults can be undone in minutes from the unknown (unfixed)? I say scrap it and rework it!
Wouldnt be surprised if they did ban him just for showing people how bad they suck at doing there job, and its unreal tournement game engine, like one of the EASIST game engines to use on the market
now we know why they're making ark 2... they can't be bothered ensuring things work on the first one. you shouldn't be surprised because dinosaurs can kill you through your walls of the base. in reality, your base should keep you safe.
A couple months ago a tribe from a offical cluster I play on got dev wiped and banned because they had a base in a boss arena I'm not sure which one. However that is so stupid to me what's the point of playing the game
Someone built a base around mine on official and I've had my spot since the release of the map and they barely started 2 1/2 years after map release (valguero). I put in a ticket because they were breaking code of conduct and same thing with you, they said they didnt need any more information and that it'll be looked into. Eventually I got an email saying actions have been taken and the problem was resolved but everything was still the same. Their pillars and their base was still there. 2 or 3 months later and my structures and pillars were wiped in that area and my pillars were wiped across the map. Devs literally dont make sense anymore. It should be so easy to see how long something has been placed down for and also to see who is in what tribe and how long they've been in it.
And thats why my friends and i run our own cluster. And we set a new password every 3 days. You also get looked at for around 1 to 2 months if reported. And if you are found to be cheating in any way the tribe gets banned and wiped, we also roll the server back if need be and change the password and send the new one to everyone. Its sad that we have a better control on this than the company its self. There are 4 of us running 10 different servers and we havent had a cheater in almost a year. The last 3 cheaters we had played on our servers for less than 3 hours before they got banned
Been having an ongoing feud with another tribe for weeks after they attacked a member. We've been successfully defending our above ground base. Metal, turrets, x plants, strong tamed and all. Chasing them off on their wyverns everytime. Came into the game today with one of our mini metal supply bases not too far away looted by the from inside without destroying anything to get in but everything inside was gone.
Me and about 4 people bought this on Discord one night. Got on and this is all that happened in about 20 minutes. That was the fastest time we ever refunded a game in our life.
@@AKUJIVALDO I played it years ago on Xbox when it first came out. We wanted to jump on and kill some mfs but it was covered in cheaters. Starting a server for myself (and friends) would've bored us quicker than the time we spent refunding it.
Wild Card is like don't worry we have Vin Diesel he will save us as a company.. It worked for CD project red when keanu reeves was in there game right ...Wild Card goes dead like Telltale's Studios and RUST devs and Obsidian studios buy Wild Card and fix ARK and make a remastered edition of ARK
@@tomwild2351 As much as we all would love a competent company to buy studio wildcard and fix their fuckups. The unfortunate truth is owned by Snail games which is a chinese company and the chinese love their aim botting so shits never gonna get fixed
I know how it feels, Wild Card just don't care enough, we've just got to show the cheaters they are trash because they need to cheat, haha. But seriously man, we know how you feel, I (unfortunately) know how you feel.
Have u ever heard of a pocket dev, so i have a friend that was or maybe still part of BLDX on official, and he was telling me that players pay off developers to allow certain people to cheat and nothing be done to them. Wild Card needs new staff that are %100 dedicated to there job and pleasing there community.
I gave up on Ark years ago when I and 4 other major clans (at the time of Aberration's release) spent more than 72 hrs trying to get rid of a clan exploiting the flashbang/Rock Drake glitch whenever they fail at something and let me tell you they failed a lot, rolling back the server more than a hundred times in the process. With all the evidence that we had gathered not a single dev said or did anything.
I actually lost my level 127 character because wildcard decided to delete the server I was on. I submitted like 4 tickets and still no response. Kinda regret playing this game for 4+ years and supporting the devs by buying dlc.
I stopped playing ark a long time ago because the meshing was just too much for me to deal with and my health was being impacted as I would sleep around 4 hours a night because somebody needed to stay online or else the base would get wiped. It took a long time but I eventually learned that the game wasn't worth my health, life or the stress it was causing me
Well when rust comes out on console no one gonna be playing ark so yeah I’ve had too much stuff meshed and too many ankys just casually falling through the mesh while on metal runs. F!ck ark
I have been playing ark off and on for many years now. I have sank a lot of my time into this game. The fact they allow cheating is very discouraging. It almost feels like a slap to the face to someone who has played fair. I will not be playing ark anymore after learning this. Shame on them.
@@kieronsimons5679 1000% literally like no bugs and the way more pvp and barely any cheaters compared to ark and if there are any they get banned in less than a day usually
So why at no point is anyone talking about battle eye with That being their "anti cheat program" I mean sure wild card is a good 99% to blame but they did slap their name on this too.
battleye is quite decent, it is making it very hard to program undetected cheats and thats why tehre is only like 4 public softwares, addicted, quantum, disarray, polaris. and they are all close to 100$ a month. they eventually get detected once in a while but accounts are legit 3$ and there are exploits in the cheat that unlock dlcs and tekgrams.
5 min before I watch this video I just left an official server where someone was filling the chat with messages about how he was selling cheats like aimbot and ESP So I just uninstalled ark and will never buy a game which Wildcard has had a hand in making. I really hope noone buys Ark 2 and Wildcard will have such a lose on the game that they will go bankrubt
Have 0 patience for 1x + meshing + aimbotters. Id rather leave out the frustration of losing weeks/months of work to some a hole with a meshed chem bench and fabricator. Atleast unofficial admins do something about the games own bugs and cheaters.
That's actually what Wildcard want you to do. So they dont have to pour money into a company to run their official servers. They cant fix the game, so they built a new version. Apparently with a fixed camera angle that will stop meshing.........dont know how they're going to stop esp and ini files tho...perhaps the gameplay will be so different that there wont be a use for them.
the fact that their just gonna be like oh i cant wait 4 ark 2 they just stopped banning their just lazy and the devs dont care about people its just sad now im just gonna play on unofficial now just so dissapointed this happened hopefully unofficial people will care
Ya if you play servers like mg or reign they stop cheating but there’s other problems my friend group stopped playing because a admin spawned loot for the alpha tribe we were fighting and we found out
Been an issue ever since the beginning, I lost so much from cheats over and over. Cheating & mesh is apart of ARK so your only option is to join them and mesh & cheat yourself.
On Aberration there is a huge mesh hole in the Rad zone, on private servers we play we turret this off if we get Glowtail or shadow cave as you get easy access through the mesh from this hole
It isn’t wild card that’s not dealing with them. It’s their Coke company that deals with it and their being paid off snails game is the company that is causing aim boters and dupers to be able to stay.
Same thing happened to me on ARKpoc over 2 months ago. Really quite sad for a game as big as ARK, they just dont seem to care at all...

bro happened to kishko in a video lmfao
"stop" lol
It’s weird because I’ve had the opposite experience where every cheater I’ve encountered gets banned on offi. I’m assuming it’s because I get the same dev and there’s probably lazy devs that don’t do anything.

Wild card should just announce their game is unsupported anymore. 😬

Let me share a story, there was a mega tribe in Ark that's been in existence since early access called Stray Cats. This tribe had a friendlier, more chill attitude compared to other mega tribes. They werent focused on PvP or griefing, just enjoying the game as a community. For some reason the biggest, most aggressive tribes in Ark decided to take them down [A-Team/BLDX]. They brought their whole alliance to wipe SC off the Ark. Since then, SC have been the main target of new exploits, bugs, cheats and we would provide Wildcard with video proof and information so they can counter those exploits, which they did gradually; but as a tribe, we were never compensated in anyway. It's worth noting that SC also had a strong alliance that did their best to defend them [YSS/NNN]. Months pass, and the war conitnues, then the Ark developers decide to completely wipe SC, why? Apparently you're not allowed to defend yourself against cheaters, you're supposed to sit and watch while they ruin everything you've been working on for years. And yes, the SC community is still in existence and strong, but we wont be back to Ark.
in a recent video by H.O.D its shown that A-team was owned by the founder of snail games, Snail games legit had a mega tribe and would cheat often, but used their power over wildcard to give themselves immunity to bans and admin privileges
“I havent seen this kind of tolerance for any game” MATE HAVE YOU PLAYED TF2
75% chance that you've got 6 bots on your team when you get in a game of TF2 nowadays, half of which are "you".
@AHC oh every cheater got bored and now its just bots
Tf2 is dead
@@MetrixGoat nah
Use to play tf2 competitively see’s a hacker. All I use to think That’s cute mate
And proceeded to kill them with crossbow bolts and ubersaws XD. And both my weapons were named to roast cheaters
as a solo player, this stuff hurts even more
Same it takes so long to get built up on your own and then u could lost it all in a second to a cheater
If you're playing solo you should probably just play solo.
They have offline and dedicated servers you could play on completely solo.
I love Ark but I have a fulltime job and a house to maintain.
I simply do not have the time to spend an average of 30hrs raising baby dinos and up to 24hrs taming wild ones.
If I had friends that played Ark it might be different, but as I'm the only gamer in my group interested in Ark anymore I only play solo.
I I definetly turn up the taming speed and baby maturation rates.
I usually run my taming at about 6x or 7x. I think 4x is what official servers run.
When I first start out a new playthrough I turn the taming down to about 4x, sometimes a little higher so that I dont instantly tame early things like dodos and dilos.
Once I'm going for gigas and spinos and rexes and stuff that's going up yo already 7x. Even on 6 or 7x taming effectiveness it can take close to 3hrs to tame a max level giga.
And that's not even counting the hour or so it usually takes to safely knock the bastard out.
I occasionally increase the length of daylight as well, depending on the map I'm on. A little extra time to safely do things.
Everything else I leave at normal rates for the most part.
I always crank platform saddle limits so high the only I need to worry about is weight on my platform saddles.
Im playing solo, if I want a fully mobile massive base I'm gonna damn well build one.

Its the vicious cycle of Official. Theres 6 months where they try and enforce, but always fall short. When its time for a DLC to get pushed down our throats, all their efforts focus on the DLC and ignore the Official community.
Its absolutely mind boggling to me that a development company would actually host servers under their brand and name but then completely ignore them as if they don't have a responsibility to police them.
If I ever get the money I'm buying Wild Card and change there name Rebrand it and have a good dev team if non do there job Fired and replaced by someone better and keep making Awesome games and Fix ARK and in force Cheating and IP ban cheaters and make ARK great again add more dinosaurs and more cool things and a better character creation in menu and better building in ARK and get Obsidian devs to come on bord
I'm on unofficial and they deal with cheaters
Really makes you wonder
It’s so much better when you let an unofficial admin deal with stuff
oh ark.... the game was early access and they already hardcore pushing DLC with few waves of DLC planned, they made it full price before release to "make it equal to retail" they made a mod for ark and tried to sell it as "completely new game" should i go on?
no
Stopped playing 2 years ago, never looked back
Me:Reads Title
Also Me: They banned cheaters Before?
I know what you mean i had a full group of 8 friends were banned because 1 china guy in there tribe had the idea to bulid a mesh base they got unbanned but it took 1 month of allot of pain waiting for the devs

"WiLdCarD EnForCeMeNt" thats a good joke.
This reminds me when I first played ark, ran around for an hour, tamed a dodo, and almost died killing some sleeping persons 3 dodo's.
When I started playing in 2017 on Official Server 2 of the Island, a tribe of hackers joined and the devs never did anything to fix the problem. At least every tribe had video and photo proof that we submitted to the devs. They meshed through to steal resources, aimbotted and shot through oil nodes, etc. We even found their stream which had proof of their hacking and sent that to devs. Their response was that steam-vac would take care of any hackers. Once a dev also joined the server, entered a kill command on the hackers, and then left like that solved the problem. All the tribes banded together to fight them, but we gave up after about a week and most of us just quit the server. SO it doesn't surprise me to see this.
They can’t even stop servers from being dosed we do ourselves smh
Honestly it’s sad 😂
Imagine duping cryopods tho lol
@@willbeasley2077 another thing they can't fix

@@MakinMoneyISeasy I actually didn't know this was even an issue before seeing this video.
Their reputation is fine to alot of people like me who don't know about it.
To be honest i didn't like them anymore anyways because they announced Ark 2 before releasing genesis part 2, so i felt seriously ripped off for buying the pass.
But my point stands, alot of people dont even know this is such a problem, so the reputation has no dent.
A game that can’t solve hackers problem is a dying game, everyone will fed up and quit
It pretty much is already dead, which is probably why they are making a second ark.
Pretty much all onlime games have hackers, competitive games are.even worse.
This is EXACTLY why I don't play any sort of pvp anymore. I quit pvp bc of players like this, because I've encountered players who aimbot.
Play World of Warships, no aimbots
Imagine them having Ark still full of dumb bugs that shouldn't exist, not being able to even mod cheaters.. and yet spending the time to make an Ark 2, which will very likely have the same exact problems.
i mean i wont be suprised if one of their dev team member ended up selling these cheat to people

This is a big part of why I play Single player or PVE only now.
pve servers are going down really fast.. imo singleplayer or dedicated/non-dedicated are the only options left if you dont want to struggle with the bs of officials servers
@@intolerantes Yeah I am just doing single player atm, if someone wants to hop in and help with boss fights I just throw it to non-dedicated. I was amazed a few weeks ago when I tried 3 or 4 dedicated official pve servers they were all lagg feats, massive drops for the whole server and when I asked about it the people on said it's been like that for months. Apparently wild card doesn't want to allocate the resources those servers need to run well anymore.
on smalltribes internals are more important than the main wall
Legit,
new strat is make a quetz base because even though its an ez raid nobody really expects it lmao
Its kinda annoying when you lose a tame to lag in thr ob and they ask for pic of the tame itself but you cant find a way to upload a picture to the tickets
If your on a private server or one with ark uploads you can just go to solo spawn in one force tame it and ride it without a saddle.
The anti mesh is so dumb I’ve lost so much from it. I lost a really good pump, good flak, a giga, and a bunch of soakers. I was about to raid a base and as a started I disconnected came back and saw I was killed by the anti mesh went back to where my death beam was and saw my stuff was under the map and couldn’t do anything so that made me stop playing for awhile
The dislikes are from wc
true.... sad but...
I have thousands of hours on Ark and I quit because of the cheating. Its out of hand. The game has been out for a long time and nothing has changed and it probably wont.
This is every modern game now, not just ark.
all they need to do is set a death wall around each cave, and under the mesh. its not really that hard make a rectangle round each cave about 4 foundations thick like the death borders in extinction at the bottom of the cliff or am i wrong to and its actually hard to put a rectangle death boarder a cerrain thickness?
This goes to show that the devs dont care about players - they will drop ark 1 support and just shovel stacks of money to vin diesel and make ark 2. They dont realize how many people wont buy it because of ark 1 and the bugs. Great video man! Keep up the great work.
I left 2 years ago cos of their lazy devs, hasn't changed a bit.
They already stated a few years in that because of early coding as well as their version of UE4, there is literally 0 way to properly fix the issues ark has without fully starting from scratch.
I'm not saying some of their devs aren't lazy, just that it isn't as black and white as you're making it seem.
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken So what they propose is for us to continue to play a broken game where thousands of man hours spent working out how to defend a base from known assaults can be undone in minutes from the unknown (unfixed)? I say scrap it and rework it!

now we know why they're making ark 2... they can't be bothered ensuring things work on the first one. you shouldn't be surprised because dinosaurs can kill you through your walls of the base. in reality, your base should keep you safe.
A couple months ago a tribe from a offical cluster I play on got dev wiped and banned because they had a base in a boss arena I'm not sure which one. However that is so stupid to me what's the point of playing the game
Someone built a base around mine on official and I've had my spot since the release of the map and they barely started 2 1/2 years after map release (valguero). I put in a ticket because they were breaking code of conduct and same thing with you, they said they didnt need any more information and that it'll be looked into. Eventually I got an email saying actions have been taken and the problem was resolved but everything was still the same. Their pillars and their base was still there. 2 or 3 months later and my structures and pillars were wiped in that area and my pillars were wiped across the map. Devs literally dont make sense anymore. It should be so easy to see how long something has been placed down for and also to see who is in what tribe and how long they've been in it.
I know spots on abberation where u can fr just zip line out the map and go anywhere even the surface
The Aberation mesh stuff is such an easy fix it’s sad. There are at least two well know mesh holes, I don’t understand why they can’t just be patched
becouse wc doesnt care
“2nd to last day of the wipe” ark extinction 21 days left
And thats why my friends and i run our own cluster. And we set a new password every 3 days. You also get looked at for around 1 to 2 months if reported. And if you are found to be cheating in any way the tribe gets banned and wiped, we also roll the server back if need be and change the password and send the new one to everyone. Its sad that we have a better control on this than the company its self. There are 4 of us running 10 different servers and we havent had a cheater in almost a year. The last 3 cheaters we had played on our servers for less than 3 hours before they got banned
Been having an ongoing feud with another tribe for weeks after they attacked a member. We've been successfully defending our above ground base. Metal, turrets, x plants, strong tamed and all. Chasing them off on their wyverns everytime. Came into the game today with one of our mini metal supply bases not too far away looted by the from inside without destroying anything to get in but everything inside was gone.
Me and about 4 people bought this on Discord one night.
Got on and this is all that happened in about 20 minutes.
That was the fastest time we ever refunded a game in our life.
You made a good choice, this game is not worth your money or time
Yes it is and you dont have to play official and even offical was good in the old days o you could play solo, co op, fibercraft and much more
Should have bought game on discount and created a server for yourself...
@@AKUJIVALDO I played it years ago on Xbox when it first came out. We wanted to jump on and kill some mfs but it was covered in cheaters. Starting a server for myself (and friends) would've bored us quicker than the time we spent refunding it.

Wild Card is like don't worry we have Vin Diesel he will save us as a company.. It worked for CD project red when keanu reeves was in there game right ...Wild Card goes dead like Telltale's Studios and RUST devs and Obsidian studios buy Wild Card and fix ARK and make a remastered edition of ARK

@Real Tom cruise I play unofficial, happens there aswell. TRUST me.
@Real Tom cruise but official is also where good pvp is cause the good players are there
I honestly don't care anymore someone meshes or tries to mesh me? I just mesh him back. I don't even care about the loot just want revenge
@ I would but it just encourages them to mesh and i cant be bothered to and sort of learn how to mesh.
@Real Tom cruise MTS died sooo fast on Ps4 hahaha , might aswell play one of the overcap servers
Have u ever heard of a pocket dev, so i have a friend that was or maybe still part of BLDX on official, and he was telling me that players pay off developers to allow certain people to cheat and nothing be done to them. Wild Card needs new staff that are %100 dedicated to there job and pleasing there community.
I gave up on Ark years ago when I and 4 other major clans (at the time of Aberration's release) spent more than 72 hrs trying to get rid of a clan exploiting the flashbang/Rock Drake glitch whenever they fail at something and let me tell you they failed a lot, rolling back the server more than a hundred times in the process. With all the evidence that we had gathered not a single dev said or did anything.
7:37 repair ceiling
So when Gen was coming out Jat and Dollie abandoned Atlas the same way they're doing it to Ark here. It's what they do.
This games fun to watch but im so glad that i stoped playing ark
good choice ark is a just a headache
same i stopped too also this game need more than 250 gb on ur ssd which is crazy if u have alot of other big games
Same. At least multiplayer.
Waste of time, always worrying about your base, chinese hackers, buggy dinosaurs.
I actually lost my level 127 character because wildcard decided to delete the server I was on. I submitted like 4 tickets and still no response. Kinda regret playing this game for 4+ years and supporting the devs by buying dlc.
I stopped playing ark a long time ago because the meshing was just too much for me to deal with and my health was being impacted as I would sleep around 4 hours a night because somebody needed to stay online or else the base would get wiped. It took a long time but I eventually learned that the game wasn't worth my health, life or the stress it was causing me
is it surprising?

We have someone raiding our PVE server using an admin rifle at the moment. We have no idea how to identify them or stop them.

I really hope noone buys Ark 2 and Wildcard will have such a lose on the game that they will go bankrubt
that’s why everyone plays unofficial now
Have 0 patience for 1x + meshing + aimbotters. Id rather leave out the frustration of losing weeks/months of work to some a hole with a meshed chem bench and fabricator. Atleast unofficial admins do something about the games own bugs and cheaters.

I can confirm that this was an issue waaaay back when Scorched Earth came out. Got mega aimbotted and zero bans was handed out.
Been an issue ever since the beginning, I lost so much from cheats over and over. Cheating & mesh is apart of ARK so your only option is to join them and mesh & cheat yourself.
People that didnt even watch the vid
Google Veterancheats and you will find working cheats for ARK: Survival Evolved. This is a 100% legit website!
they are focusing on the new ark, they will add anti cheat in it with more defensive things to prevent. they cant focus on 9 million servers at once..
On Aberration there is a huge mesh hole in the Rad zone, on private servers we play we turret this off if we get Glowtail or shadow cave as you get easy access through the mesh from this hole
It isn’t wild card that’s not dealing with them. It’s their Coke company that deals with it and their being paid off snails game is the company that is causing aim boters and dupers to be able to stay.
