      Hard facts as a modder for ark I can say performance is it's biggest problem and needed addressed prior to ASAs release, the unreal update to 5.4 is no performance update it's a tools for devs update I wish shills would admit this, they copied 3/4 of ASEs code to make ASA and wonder why it's broken

    Delays are expected from WC. The thing that is hurting the player base most is the fact that p2w has taken over dev time instead of fixing core issues. Totally agree with you on this point.

    As long as non gamers who run these companies push their agendas coders and game designers will never be able to focus on quality. Secondly when having forced spec and memory limits by companies like Sony and Microsoft games won't reach peak performance. Finally on pay to win. I bought the pyromane. I do not pvp I'm pve only, also I have physical limitations due disability so I will take some advantages if they reduce time to complete tasks as my play time is limited. My opinion on pay to win is I don't fully blame the game companies, I'll explain. The only thing the company is doing is exploiting a fault in the player base. This fault is some players care more about winning than the experience. Being a gamer a lot older than most content creators and a former long time competitive player on a national level I've seen a lot of short cuts taken instead of putting in the time. This decline in player etiquette created pay to win and is the reason I don't pvp on any gaming platforms anymore. When I was younger I would burn hours and days perfecting techniques and strats to utilize. Being nearly 50 years of age and disabled even now I only use pay to win or automation to reduce pve task time if there is no reasonable technique or strat that works in pve. In pvp and competitive environments short cuts, exploits and hacks should not be used regardless of knowledge of them. The players who will use shortcuts and other things I mentioned to win in competitive environments need to get back to understanding that winning is not everything. Game companies need to realize the quality non-profit should matter. Until these two things start to show gaming across most platforms will continue to suffer. I apologize for the long comment this is my opinion across the whole gaming universe.

    ASA isn’t even pulling in half the people that ASE is still pulling. ARK will never be what it was. And that’s fine because I had a blast on ASE for almost 8 years. I’m already level 155 on official with less than 13 days in the game. I’ve been having a blast on ASA. Everyone that played ASE shouldn’t be surprised about these issues on ASA. I’ve actually become immune to these issues in some ways since I have almost 13k hours in ARK 🤣

      @andrewvice4065 7 місяців тому

      You cannot patch out what needs to be redesigned, as someone who understands arks code thoroughly ASA is a 3/4 rip-off of ase's code which is why it is such a bad performing game, they didn't even have the nerve to rework the game prior to releasing it and recharging people $50 ASA is truly just the definition of scummy tactics, if it wasn't for console mod support it would already be completely dead, people are forgetting that official servers are not what funds the game anyway as it constantly sees less than 1,600 players concurrently daily, wherever on custom-built servers you constantly see a flood of over 100 times more players

    Ok so yall seem to harp in ASA. But honestly I am running the same PC as 7 yrs ago I have over 8k hours on ark regular. The problems you b!tch about are the same with ark overall. ASA though is soo much better with graphics. LOAD TIMEs old ark with 32 mode took 25 min to load ASA with same amount of mods 2 minutes. I run all high settings and the lag is no diff then old ark. mainly its the host etc. Over all ASA is so much worth the immersion it brings. just need the core mods to catch up is the biggest thing. Fuk the devs they always suck its the modders who always made this game last so long. When ASA gets CKF, COSPLAY mods etf it will rock.

    Never understood the point of ASA. Who, in their right mind, incures the insane workload of remastering a content Behemoth like Ark SE (which is a poorly optimized game to begin with) and promises to do all that for free, while they are also working on Ark 2 (allegedly)?
    Wildcard are like politicians: They routinely promise stuff that they cannot deliever in time or not at all. Which is a lesson learned years ago. People, who haven't figured that out by now, never will.
    There is no way to sugar-coat it: Splitting a community (that had seen better days to begin with) over a remaster, that requires a 2.000 bucks PC to run like garbage at mid settings (hopefully) is just a move of grade A stupidity.

It was 2 weeks later when I was able to get back on and wild card did NOT help me at all. I contacted them like 4 times and they didn’t not help me. They need to do better because I lost over 40 boss rexes with over 50k hp and 1.2k melee.

    Only around 40 hours in as I bought recently (played Evolved, though) and on a 5.3 ghz i5, 4070ti Super, 32 Gb and M.2 NVMe SSD - I'm getting on average 55-60 fps on Ultra @ 1440p with draw distance turned down to high. Not one crash yet either (this is solo play mind, can't speak to online play) - and as I'm not a framerate obsessive, nor is this a twitchy shooter I'm perfectly happy with the performance of the game, which looks amazing btw. As a gamer who installed the original DOOM off floppy disks, and before that c64 cassettes, lol - I think modern gamers should get their eyes off the FPS counter and just enjoy the experience - you don't need 120 fps for that to happen.
