Dude there has been so many patches lately it's crazy how much space this game is taking now lol
This game could have been huuuge, game design is great, game loops are amazing. But they've never managed to implement anything properly, devs were always quite shit, never managed to fix any big issue.
Also UE 5..5 wont wont do anything for performance, performance issues are not caused by engine, they are caused by 10 years of people who cant code.
god if they just fixed the big 4 (or 3 depending how you look it at) the game would be sooo good
Meshing
cheating ( aimbot and crazy other cheats that I've personally seen )
and server performance on pvp server if you have a built server your turrets don't work properly makes so aids to attack and defend properly , console players can barely load into the main base and if they are on the older ps and xbox they crash tping constally
and raising server cap would help loads bring back our over cap 200 people on servers shit was sooooooo fun
@@lost8099 well, you cant fix cheating, theyd need moderation on servers to fight that, thats why playing official is the worst way to play.
@dievas_ I play servers with no crashes or performances just bugs from an early access game so idk why yall are upset
@@dievas_ what is your hardware?
If 5.5 is released guaranteed it will be late again, and introduce even more bugs and crashes.
Im one of those who still just play ASE Im having tonsof fun. I use around 20 mods and its stable only crashed 3 times in 200+ hours.
On official the lag is and disconnects is getting as bad as it was in ASE.
i cant even stay connected to my single player game
I would honestly say it’s worse than ASE on official , aside from Gen 2 which was always laggy on ASE
@@Jaaaaayyy no its def better getting your server 255 ping for 2 weeks straight was way worse wouldnt be able to move whats so ever
early ark on pvp servers was horrible and server protection was ass people would download a phone ddos on the app store that get like 20 people to hit the same server and just cook it
they had a free game release on Epic Games when it skyrocketed
I hope “The Current State Of ARK: Part 2” will be a lot better because of the ue5.5 upgrade
a engine upgrade does not a optimised game make
@@meneldil7604 that’s exactly what an engine upgrade (especially this one) is supposed to do
@@akathenugget engine upgrade don't mean nothing if that don't optimize the game
@@meneldil7604what are u even talking about yes they need to optimize their stuff hopefully the UE5 5.5 will help with that :)
@@DennisOedzes simple if take the same code form se which it is and dump it in a new engine it will be worse than it was before witch is why asa run so bad to start with
I jumped out of the game because of pillaring and the Devs incompetence and lack of respect for their players
Never play official.
@@outdoorsman7324 I played it for years. Had many great times. But damn the sides of it such as the pillaring drives you nuts
The gatekeeping really has ruined official servers.
@@swshaffer12 on top of that you have people selling for money the land they are pillaring
"and then the server shutdown.. ehhm I mean the sunset came"
Cmon man, you could be such a good Ark community channel if you'd speak for the community instead of Team Wildcard's marketing.
No, many players didn't move on because "they weren't sure how the game is going to be" but because they were promised a free upgrade and instead had to pay for the same game on a newer engine once again with anything new being behind additional paywalls.
I would love to see these people go in and demand free games in the shop for every game that companies re release.
Maybe I should try that next car I buy they upgrade lol
@@Areyousayingidontknowmyname Which part of the "they were promised a free upgrade" you don't understand? A lead person from the studio said it was gonna be a free upgrade..
@xiann87 it's not a free upgrade lol. What part of a whole new game are you not understanding??? Ark Ascended is not Ark Evolved 😂
@@Areyousayingidontknowmyname Dude, you either missed the news back then or skipped school... It was originally stated that what’s now called ASA would be a free upgrade, but then they changed their minds.
@@Areyousayingidontknowmyname no dumdum it wasn't a NEW GAME. it's a shitty revamp of ase. It was promised to us it would be free and surprise! In typical wildcard fashion it comes out and cost money anyway... then surprise again! It runs like complete shit. And surprise surprise now... it still runs like complete shit.
Has to hurt having a hard time beating out your old, unsupported, game in concurrency count. I don't think 5.5 will do as much as is hoped. Good on you for having all that hope. I feel like they would have to change their development practices a lot to approach a NMS like comeback. But if they wanted to, I don't think they could pick better remodel, as Hello Games, at this point.
I havent played since ascended first came out, because its just a massive money grab!
And if you are wondering why people left... they all went to Ark evolved because snailgames haven't touched it.. trust me all the old Ark players are on private servers on ark evolved
Bro this game can barely run on a ps5 20 fps once you get a base going it’s a Joke
I guess "the player right now" stats would be a lot higher if the game acctually was playable, as it is not for a lot of us at it´s current state💩
It's pretty bad on console. I uninstalled in November because of annoyance with bugs, reinstalled a few days ago. I played single player for 10 minutes, it crashed and deleted my character. I hope they can pull a No Man's Sky, but I'm pretty skeptical about it at this point.
Sad to see how such a good idea of an "evolved/remastered" game is implemented so badly. I loved the idea of platform independent mod-support, crossplay, qol-improvements. But the "core" feels meanwhile even more buggy, glitchy and unperformant/inefficient that even I have no joy anymore even starting it (constantly using a games console-commands to make it playable is not what I expect from a product). The performance issue will resolve itself over time, when a future RTX6070- or 7070-likeish hardware will be standard, but will players wait that long ? And putting more content on such a broken core on top doesn't makes it better and the player-numbers show that (you compared the playernumbers already with the basically unsupported end of life product evolved, where it seems people are happier). Ofcourse, with every new map playernumbers spike, everyone is curious and wants to see what's changed, just to recognize the core is still in a bad (or even worse) condition. I doubt that improvements in regards of quality and performance will come fast enough to retain or even increase the playerbase. But who knows, mabe someone in the future will pick up this idea of Ark and delivers something more "solid" (looking at the amount of users on the Ark discord, the interest should be still big).
Can't have a P2W game, if your player base is shrunken due to no one being able to meet the hardware requirements.
Unreal is a poor pick for a game like ark. Lumen's temporal lighting hates some of the games favorite effects with fog and moving foliage, and nanite and lumen both really hate thin items like foliage/feathers for its optimizations.
daily ASE player here. ive stuck to my guns on this issue. i still havent caved and bought ASA yet and never will because we were lied to on multiple levels about what we were getting
ASA was supposed to be a free upgrade for ASE and it wasnt. it was a separate game that wasnt free
mods are no longer free
p2w mtx was added
cryopods got nerfed into oblivion
theres no tek dinos
the game has been in a broken state since launch
its just not Ark anymore. not that i could with my current rig but i wouldnt play ASA now even if it was given to me free
I can't agree there are over 15,000 free mods out there for ASA and maybe 30 premium mods. The only real pay to win is the pyromane. Most other things aren't pay to win and many with mods are available without buying Bob's Tall Tales. For me the game is now pretty stable, I play on PC and I run on medium settings I can play all day and rarely crash at all. I will be honest i don't like cryopods at all I have run a mod instead of cryopods for years in both ASE and ASA. See my previous comment on this video as far as it being free.
I will happily state that I think ASA is the better game already and once all the maps finally get released it will be light years better than ASE. There is so many things that ASA does better that I will never play ASE again.
I will agree that the game needs better performance overall and more bug fixes; however, there are patches every couple of days it seems to try to address various issues. As are as pay to win goes, for me I mainly play with my friends or by myself so I honestly am not that affected by pay to win as that is more pvp than pve.
Good Video Dom. The problem with ASA is with every update, DLC,new map it becomes unplayable. I deleted ASA last night and reinstalled ASE. And I have Xbox x. ASA is too unstable. A shame because I love it
I will personally never buy ASA, unless they stop Pay 2 Win bullshit, and promise to never do it again, additionally they need to optimize their crap, they sold the same game again with some fresh paint, then started bolting shit on, never fixing anything old, and in fact re-introducing old bugs.
The P2W BS will never stop, they've gotten a taste for it. And since there are enough dumb people buying them without realizing that, in the long run, it will harm the game, they have even less reason to stop. Has no one realized that they restricted cryos and then introduced paid creatures that basically bypass those restrictions? Create a problem → sell the solution.
So true, a great Example of p2w would be pyromane, DNA extractor and rigs
Hate to say, ASA will 95% never match ASE until ASA support ends the late future. Giving them 10 years
Nobody is staying on servers because the dupping and meshing is out of hand almost the entire community is dupping now
Meshing is nearly as bad as ase
Holiday mod tabs are gone again and people on Playstation constantly blue screen even on Xbox I am blue screening which I never had before
Cheers for the update Dom. Hope you are well Sir.
See you in The next video
@@Chrisebetz See you then 👌🤩
You didn't talk about the reviews at all
They just had an update and patch and you still can’t update your mods or see them in your inventory
ark LAG ASCENDED atm
Waiting for Official ORP clusters to come back. Have been waiting well over 12 months. Most of the ORP community have abandoned the game.
I recently went back to evolved mainly because i cant use the character creation menu on asa. It pushes my cpu and gfx usage straight to 100% and crashes the game unless i drop the gfx down so low it makes ase look like its running full hd 8k gfx in comparison. I have to copy/pste my character name and hit create within 3 seconds of the screen opening or it completely freezes my pc :(
Still can’t update, download or use any mods. Any suggestions?
Figures include SP and Console?
Just scroll through the servers once... nearly all are empty. 🤷
Best IP to date: ruined
Great show Dom, thank you.
Thanks Jim!
Can you just let me know when the game is playable again.
Trash ! Only gets worse we miss ase
I changed my Review on Steam multiple times. Atm it is positive as I see more progress on performance and content and it started to make fun again to play the game 😁
Meshing is so easy in ark ASA there is no point playing pvp, still cant fix smth thats been in the game sense ASE launch
F-Ark and their new pay to play system, their bugs and crashes that never truly get fixed, their toxic online community.
A great idea, a visually beautiful game that’s been a tiresome waste of time.
F-Ark
They could take a lesson from Hello games.
Sort out the optimization and ill be able to comment on everything else 🤣🤣 208g download and the optimized for another 208g , i have 500g memory ( yes i need bigger ) so cant play it unfortunately
The only reason I still play Ase is because it has all the dlc maps that I play on (Crystal Isles, Rag, Lost Island & Fjordur) and there are more mods that I enjoy on Ase. I do play Asa just not as much as I’m waiting for the game to catch up to Ase
Great vid dude for those who do enjoy this kind of stuff...I personally don't care for it but I did like it as I do for all of ur vids to show support even if I don't watch it. 😅😆😁 best of luck dude!
So I stopped playing because it's not optimised for PC😂... Weird I'm on xbox
Dom you are a legend, I play ark ASA and lately I've stopped because of bugs and the state of the game etc, i was actually wondering yesterday what the actual player stats are. Thank you for the great content 👍
Asa is trash. Ase will always be king, ark 2 can work the street corner for Asa.
Good video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!!
@LoadedCrysis No thank you. I enjoy your videos. Unfortunately not as much as I use to do to me not playing ark any more. They need to listen to the players and fix the game and nothing else. That is why I stopped playing. The game for alot of us is not playable and which is weird because I can play cyberpunk on the highest settings and have 0 issues.
I prefer asa I played since day 1 evo but I just love asa even with issues
I wish the fabricated pistol was a fabricated smg instead considering how low of dmg it is in it's current state
love yer guides
❤
Cant wait to see the player count when they release Ragnarok🙂↔️
Yup me too!
Two weeks after it'll be right back where it is... barren.
I've never experienced players so vocal about a game before. I've played games with just as many problems and the players didn't react this way. Just an observation.
what games also has mostly 10 year old bugs?
You must not play a lot of games then.
@ i've played many early access games, but you cant give any examples, so you're here for attention only.
@@dievas_, anything made by Bethesda. 😝
@ well, those are not multiplayer games. Even fo76 is very limited coop at best. And they aren't as bad as Ark. Haven't played starfield, because its absolute shit in every way.
Will there be a valentine event this year? Haven’t seen any info on it
For PVE they can keep the game as is or make changes, I don't know I don't play PVE. As for PVP, they really need to bring back the old ASE cryo system and movement speed. Like bring back that and the game will be bussin again. Orrrrrr someone needs to buy the ASE IP or something like that and re-launch ASE official servers
Its so dumb that ypu think covering the same issues 5 days in a row is content
What happened to the old ARK?
Absolute w for ark in general and for the community finally starting to respect the game great video dom keep up the good work
Yea respect the game when it don't respect kinda crazy I'm starting to understand people who cheat and that's pretty bad
It don't respect you
Also I'm a pvp player so from my perspective it's no bueno
I'm also a pvp player been playing since ase came out wanna cookie
And also If the game doesn't respect you that's a skill issue bud
I have been playing no man sky the last few weeks and it has been an absolute pleasure. Just makes me even more mad for ark and the state of the game. I always have a nose at the stats and 9 outta 10 times evolved has a steady 30k and ascended has gone from 18k to not even in the top 100. Evolved is always in there though.
Nah but for real ark is my number 1 game and if the unreal engine fails I may cry for the game
Focus on making whatever videos ya want like before that ole saying trying to please everyone end up pleasing no one
Just shut down the old game already most the maps are out and now there will be new content with a new map only on a.s.e they are the reason numbers are down just play the new one it’s way better
Uhm.. the old game was basically shut down, there are no official servers, no updates and no support anymore, what's keeping it alive is private servers. And unfortunately ASA is way way worse in optimization, most of ASE's players couldn't run it, or not in an enjoyable quality. Another reason they won't go over, they don't want to pay again, also there is way more mods for ASE, they can easily make changes to the game to match those of ASA.
@@xiann87 The mod count for ASA is quickly catching up to ASE to be honest.
@@Guard1an4, that's irrelevant... the player base is the standard.
It's not ark without ragnarok
Thanks for the update, Captain. i think this ship is sinking i mean, b-ha has been sinking for years, but i finally see the water rising to waist level. I salute all of you till the bitter end and to the bottom of the sea! 🫡
