They didn't. The ratholes are CRAZY in ASA, stronger than anything in ASE, and the cryo changes help ratholes too. You just havent bothered looking for ratholes if you think they removed them.
Well if wild card would give us ark 2 and stop dicking around and fucking off the community it wouldn’t be dying. They are slowly and painfully bring out the same bullshit ase had. They should have fixed ase and just continued with ark 2 so we could have an actual release date etc. but no they go ahead and make Asa and in doing that made ark so easy to play any retard can pick up a controller and play the game with literally no trouble at all. Wild card fucked ark up for a cash grab scam we call Asa
I went back to scorched, I just love flying around the desert. But almost immediately I got stuck on nothing several times, and found large boulders that were only partially visible from specific angles, and a line of wall coming out of the ground for as far as I could see. Not in like a whole day, in like an hour. It's worse than it was months ago, like I literally bounced off a huge rock formation while flying bc it wasn't visible from that direction. I'm scared to go back to the island at this point.
Wow, that's so horrible. I hope you will be able to cope with this and not have nightmares. Such a huuuuuuge issue like this should actually be punishable with jail time for the devs!!!
@venous-gaming55 does the boot taste that good? What seasoning you use? Why do you want to put the devs in jail? If they are going to let old maps go like that, I think they are totally justified in closing the servers so fewer ppl have to deal with it. Lol seriously tho, I actually am dying. I mean by choice, sorta, I'm just not actively treating cancer bc a free pass to oblivion sounds better than more of whatever this is now, but maybe choose your words better for the next person who maybe doesn't want to die...

We need dead servers to farm artifacts on pvp, every server is taken by a mega tribe and makes it impossible for smaller tribes to have a chance. We'll ve stuck prim locked without at least a few dead islands.... Make artifacts easier to obtain and impossible to block off
To be honest, this might take whenever comes to dead servers PVP I can’t say I hate PVP I don’t like it. I think you work so hard and losing it and that’s fun yeah no thank you so for PVE only. Dead servers for PVE people are actually playing them. It might not be every day. It might not be every hour every second for an example the one that I’m currently playing on it’s usually in between five and 20 people but some days it’s 3 people and we just chill and have fun that’s just how it works.
Officially you can't play alone in tribes of 50 or 500 people, and I'm starting to play in small tribes with my 5 friends and we have a very good base, today wildcards come out with this news that my server will be deleted, this is what it is a joke in very bad taste
I always tell people that are intested in this game to avoid the offical servers and get a private server if they want to play with friends or single player if they don't care and just want to play on their own. honestly its cheaper to just buy a dedicated PC to use as a server cluster if you want to play this game, that way you never loose your progress.
Honestly why can’t they just sell the franchise to a different company and get out of debt? The game still has so much potential and could be handled so much better. There’s been many times that I thought the game would be good enough to come back but there is always bad news about this game. I love the ark concept but it’s time for some new hands on it.
I don't think it's worrying yet. Think about it this way - when ASA came out the only option was to play Island. But now that same player base is split up between more maps. Instead of 100% of those 25k people being on Island servers, maybe only 20% are now.
Am I the only person to have not suffered any problems with ASA? Never crashed, no glitching dinos, no teleporting, the game is a little laggy but other than the lag I've had a pretty good experience with ASA overall.😅
Tbh dude I think it’s best it goes down bc not only have people played on them before. Like lots of them go in beat it and get bored super quickly. While the island servers should go down bc like everyone is sick of it I remember spending like 4-5 months on that shit. I got sick of it really fast tbh we had to keep adding modded creatures to be at least somewhat entertaining. :/
361 Servers are being nuked because the players are not there.. they are leaving Ark: Scam Ascended in droves and good on those who do leave as it has always been a total freaking scam!! This game and franchise is bankrupt and they owe money everywhere and probably can't afford to pay for the 361 servers they are going to nuke on the 15th of October 2024!! If this is to 'improve performance' then they are already paying less for the servers to make it as cheap as possible!! This is a sign of things to come because the Chinese crooks, grubs and the dirty devs have all but killed their game and the franchise along with it!! All that pay to play and pay to win micro-transaction nonsense has not helped and in many ways all that grubby stuff is merely the nail in the coffin of what amounts to a dead game and franchise!! They only have themselves to blame but remember.. the crook and grub Chinese who nicked off with $1.3 Billion USD that set all of this in motion has his wife on a $1-Million USD a month Cash Out scam so if this all goes to pot (it looks like it is given they are nuking 361 Official Servers already) he is cashed up and cashed out 'through his wife'!!
@@TheAutostyle I said all of this 18 months ago!! I have stood my ground and I have refused to pay for Ark: Scam Ascended!! I have rented 4 Ark: SE Servers and I have been working closely with a new host to get the official server 2023 snapshots working where I have reduced those world saves down to only the tribes / teams we wish to keep by using 3rd party tools and single player mode. We can not trust Nitrado who are neck deep in the same corruption and shady + dodgy ways the dirty devs and crook + grub Chinese behind Ark conduct themselves!! I have learned over the 7 or so years I had Ark: SE Servers with Nitrado that Nitrado simply can not be trusted and that is why I went to a much more open and honest host!! I have said Ark: SA is Scam Ascended and every time something happens I am proven right!! Here we are a year later and they are literally dev-wiping and nuking 361 official low population servers all over again!! Like one map comes out and it has 5 or more pay to play and pay to win micro-transactions while the core game is broken, buggy and an absolute mess as are the UE5 worlds they are rushing!! The core game is not being fixed up!! Ark: Scam Ascended is a sandbox for the dirty devs to learn how to work with UE5 all in preparation to make Ark: II and has that not been a massive lie both to the community and the investors?? Where is Ark: II given it was due like 2+ years ago and again no one wants a souls like Ark game that is an Xbox exclusive and a console port for everyone else either!! The dirty devs are fixing the same things with every iteration which is the cheap and unstable servers they are forced to use given they have an exclusivity deal with Nitrado who do not need to provide solid and stable dedicated servers and it appears as though those servers are cheap shared services which begs the question can the Ark franchise not afford dedicated and stable servers?? What is going on with the finances of the Ark game and franchise and how long is it until it all goes to pot and it all collapses under the debts and costs the game and franchise has?? What stops the same Chinese crook & grub from nicking off with the money all over again?? He did it once and took 1.3 Billion USD out of the Ark game and franchise that set all of this nonsense in motion so like what stops him from doing it again?? Like.. if Ark: Scam Ascended is the 'evergreen Ark experience' how can they just dev-wipe and nuke 361 Official Servers that have low populations.. not zero populations but low populations?? Like I know people who have left Ark: Scam Ascended because of how much of an unstable mess it is and they have told me they know people who are on those servers as alpha tribes!! Those people now have 14 days to pack up and move to the other servers which is forcing people closer together and could be a ruse to make the new worlds / maps more populated and of course to force people towards the $$ pay to play and pay to win micro-transactions $$ that are ever constantly changing how Ark is experienced, played and functions!! This whole game and franchise has been on a downward spiral ever since they announced they are going to dev-wipe the 20,000 official Ark: SE Servers!! They have shown their community they do not care about us, our time, our hard work and how long it took us to get to where we were!! They rushed Ark: Scam Ascended and told us they could not allow us to keep a single thing yet they literally imported Ark: SE into their rushed and messy UE5 worlds!! They had no issues in importing the UE4 bugs and issues they never fixed up after 8 years did they?? As I type this people still say the scale of some things in Ark: Scam Ascended is absolutely off and wrong!! I think it has become evident they do not know what they are doing with UE5 enough to even fix the bugs and issues the game has and so the focus is the $$ pay to play and pay to win micro-transactions $$ only!! The US Stock Market has caught on to the crook & grub Chinese too and they have been told to properly document their finances, liabilities, costs and debts and to increase their market value via honest means or they will be kicked off the US Stock Market as a bad investment!! The same crook & grub Chinese told the investors and the community Ark: Scam Ascended sold 2 million copies (if I like remember correctly).. well.. that means 99.5% of the players have left and only 0.5% remain and after this how many of the 10,000 players who are left in Ark: Scam Ascended will remain?? Like who wants to play a buggy, messy, unstable and unreliable game where the community faces the risk of being dev-wiped and nuked at any moment with 15 days to pack up and move so they are manipulated into buying / paying for the $$ pay to play and pay to win micro-transaction nonsense $$?? The first step to saving Ark has to be removing the crook & grub Chinese who nicked off with the $1.3 Billion USD out of Ark and the franchise that set all of this in motion!! Imagine if the $1 Million USD a month cash out scam he is running through his wife was injected back into hiring UE5 devs who know what they are doing to do all of this properly and from the ground up on a clean and new code base as was promised!! Imagine if they could let us keep our progress with a UE5 upgrade which what was originally promised like 2 or so years ago?? I know this much.. if you have faith in your product you do not run cash-out scams through your wife hey!! I am surprised all of this has not resulted in a class action lawsuit given how much money, time and effort the community has sunk into Ark: SE and how badly the community is constantly treated!! I am also surprised the crook & grub Chinese behind Ark are also not in court / jail over nicking off with the $1.3 Billion USD that set all of this in motion and then having their wife on a $1-Million USD a month cash-out scam through a scam game and product that has always been a total and absolute lie!!
@@TheMicado16 99.5% aren't playing it LOL and the Ark shills won't talk about the issues and problems and pretend they aren't there so they stay in favor with the dirty devs and crook & grub Chinese publishers!!
Hate saying it, but on top of it, we can host our own server on xbox like we used to. If i want a private server, i have to rent one and then i cant save my game if i decide to take a break from renting.
yes you can every single rental host server for webservers to game servers can be saved its called FTP. you FTP to a external drive, a cloud storage you can afford or a computer you own. thats never ever been a problem in existence of the internet. ftp has been around since well websites came to exist
I never bought any dlc Maps in ase so for me new asa maps are exciting only major problem what i have with asa is that crossplay doesn't seem to work in non dedicated servers
its funny how wild card compains no plays the ofish servers but no one plays becose the people on ofish piller the hole gd map if they want poeple playing ofish they need to do somthing about the over pillering and tarnacle ass holes who think they can piller the map eathere to keep to themselvs or to sell for cash
Anyone else tried using an art pad on Ark? I've found my Wacom one really increases my reaction times by removing the need for some of the buttons. Then I have a speed keyboard I used for OSU for the small amount of keys I need. Specifically, crouching.
The thing is with sunsetting servers is that you will never be sure if the server u build up on will be there in the future. So whats gonna be the point of building up at all. The end of ark asa is getting closer and closer. Everyone thats losing there base will either quit or never trust to be save in the future. Great move wildcard
@@empressjessica5020 all i know is that some people did change servers, but alot of people just quit. And the playercount wasnt to great to begin with. But i guess people will always come back🤣
This company is shity 1st they completely drop the 1st game and it's ofical server then they relaese the same ass game with better grafix and someone else's mod to fix the building and stuff total joke best part is they charged you a 2nd time
One sid eis understandable, they make with each new map new servers, the problem what I see is, they do nothing on the spam of people that n other players can build on these maps. Thats the biggest issue. example pve you need hours to find a server to build on. because of the spam...
They need to fix the game since last update many Ab servers been dead because ping is 400-1000+ randomly goes all over the place makes the game no fun to play just lose interest so quickly
They did need to do it on Evolved. The same thing happened. New map they jump on and bases crash on the other maps. Some servers did have hardly anyone on. They need to do this on PVE also. They need to play fair though and give server warnings that it will shut down. Give people two weeks etc to migrate to another server. Because now you can pick everything up. So you can literally load a base in. They also need to go on servers and start dealing with people and the damn pillaring. The Abb server im on is pillared to high hell. Massive ping from 400 to 900. People complaining in chat about Duping yet have massive basses. I couldn't even put a canon on my Para platform because of two many things on platforms. You cant put down a boat or a trap because people have pillared everywhere. In and out the water. So back to the duping. Two tribes complaining ..... One pipes up he hopes there wont be a roll back because he just laid down 500 ceilings
ASA was a big mistake, the devs had to focus on making ARK 2 a better game and remove or change the stuff the community dint like the souls combat and third person only camera. I really hope we get a better game from another dev studio in the future.
most people just can"t play it ..its just so bad optimized not even gonna touch it ..they would have been better off just updating ark survival evolved and content
The games done as the mega tribes have all the artifacts blocked off. Small tribes is also a no go. So the game becomes impossible for players who lets say just started replaying because we cant open tek turrets ect. So its a no go simple as that. Well what happens to these players due to lack of progression because of this issue. Simple most leave and never return
What do they mean by inactive have inbetween 10-20 on our sever on average and its on the list not paid to have to keep moving stuff from server to server
I’m shocked wild card is still in business after how many times they have backhanded their community and gave them a fuck you with a middle finger to accompany it. Edit: survival evolved is the better game any how. Asa is still to buggy they also made it way to easy to play by changing main things that made the game hard to play. They should have dropped ark 2 instead of this pile of dog shit game they call Asa. They can make the game look pretty all they want to but Asa is driving people away from playing it and going back to ase. I know I prefer ase over Asa any day of the week. Fuck wild card
Man idk if they ever cared about pillar and foundation spam. My tribe got 1 ticket against us on extinction for putting a gate down in front of out base on a ramp (we got banned for our gate to our base)but no one actually got in trouble for the 90 pillars all over the map. Make it make sense
Traits, and bobs tall tales has in my opinion ruined official pvp. Official pve has alwats been horrible with no limit on building space. So a lot of people just buy private servers and limit build space etc.
Its us pvp players most of us go back to unofficial ASE because there are still way more maps and creatures and the funny thing about the sunset servers i read through all the comments and not one person from those servers were in the comments because they are dead servers who cares
Is anyone on this comment section from small tribes ? Island as im looking for boss fight so my trube can protect itself . Be awesome help if someone has island server and could help
Now they telling you they dropping servers it hasent changed at all your wasting your time on this game they only care about your money enjoy the big screw job your all going to get
Thx for ur Videos !!! I play Offi PVE Xbox Series X. Aberration Ping by 600 Cant fly with Yi Ling or Drake with this high Ping. Hope they fix this shi... I love Ark !!! Greats from Germany !!!
Yesssss!!! Wild card needs to do more like this!!!! Also why didn’t they do that for scortched earth!! That would of been cool to get into gun fights as you make your getaway in a horse then on a train 😃👍
I am not surprised at all. You (Wildcard) took a game that just needed optimization and bug fixes and dumped it for a very poor remake that barely chugs along on a new engine so even very decent PC's can not run it smoothly. You made the landscape less building friendly in an effort to look more topical whilst also changing mechanics in a way no one asked for to make taming a nightmare as dinos are next to impossible to trap, and (before I uninstalled) could out run you while you could not level speed when torpor got too poor. Then the cryopod absence, followed by the cryopod changes that suited absolutely no one and still has the entire community confused as to why it was done at all. Bob's Tall tales was an okay addition, but adding pay to win tames that were present on the map anyway forcing players to deal with an over powered creature they just could not obtain without paying a toll as a living breathing advertisement that can disrupt your game play in some very negative ways was the final nail in the coffin. All the while, you never addressed the bugs that remained from the old game or performance issues across the board. Your own promotional video (Power rangers) Displayed the same choppy motion as we were getting in game, so I find it hard to believe it was just the player's hardware. You attempted to force the move to the new product by closing official support to the original. You never looked at mod downloads to discern what things might need a small tweak to be more comfortable to players either. Time and time again, the costumer base has told you what they wanted and needed to be able to embrace the new game, but you never listened. You behaved like many modern devs and acted like your decisions were right, because you are making art. No, you are not making art, you are making a product to sell and fund your career and life style. As some one that works in sales and customer relations on the corporate end, what I would do going forward, if there is rapport left to save: First and foremost, fix the damned bugs and optimize the game so it can be run on the platforms you offer in a reasonable fashion. Many console players have said time and again that the game is unplayable, so how many players are left out that could be populating your servers? Adjust certain mechanics to make life bearable and not so much of a chore, as stated, but not limited to, trapping dinos and the cryopods. I would even go as far as to say refining the AI to better reflect individual species intelligence rather than a shared intelligence would be a grand idea where some dinos in the smarter end of the gene pool avoid structures and the more dim plod on in. That would have been something that would have actually enhanced the game and made things interesting. Stop putting advertisements in the game. If some one did not pay for a paid bonus DLC or tame, it does not enter their game, unless they join a server that has them, or they run a server that allows transfers in. A great way to show off the new bug free and optimized game play would be documentary style promo videos for the new fantastic tames so they can be seen and not be an obnoxious presence for those that decided to pass on them. Storage; base storage sizes are really too small for the material costs of everything, especially if you find a good blue print. Either increase storage size or reduce material costs on crafting. Building needs one minor tweak and it would feel better; allow stacking foundations. The land is even more uneven than in ASE and we kind of needed S+'s stacking foundations there. They are even more necessary on ASA with what you have done to the landscape. The final thing I would say to help draw people to and keep older players on ASA; throw a curve ball. Something free as part of the revised maps, just something creative and unexpected that can shake things up, like the Yi-ling, but not necessarily a tame. Change a cave to be a different sort of maze, or puzzle run. Something players have not seen over and over for the past eight or so years on ASE.
You OBVIOUSLY don't remember the great server migration that happened on Ark Survival Evolved. Ark has shut down low population servers before.

Like.. if Ark: Scam Ascended is the 'evergreen Ark experience' how can they just dev-wipe and nuke 361 Official Servers that have low populations.. not zero populations but low populations?? Like I know people who have left Ark: Scam Ascended because of how much of an unstable mess it is and they have told me they know people who are on those servers as alpha tribes!! Those people now have 14 days to pack up and move to the other servers which is forcing people closer together and could be a ruse to make the new worlds / maps more populated and of course to force people towards the $$ pay to play and pay to win micro-transactions $$ that are ever constantly changing how Ark is experienced, played and functions!!
This whole game and franchise has been on a downward spiral ever since they announced they are going to dev-wipe the 20,000 official Ark: SE Servers!! They have shown their community they do not care about us, our time, our hard work and how long it took us to get to where we were!! They rushed Ark: Scam Ascended and told us they could not allow us to keep a single thing yet they literally imported Ark: SE into their rushed and messy UE5 worlds!! They had no issues in importing the UE4 bugs and issues they never fixed up after 8 years did they?? As I type this people still say the scale of some things in Ark: Scam Ascended is absolutely off and wrong!! I think it has become evident they do not know what they are doing with UE5 enough to even fix the bugs and issues the game has and so the focus is the $$ pay to play and pay to win micro-transactions $$ only!!
The US Stock Market has caught on to the crook & grub Chinese too and they have been told to properly document their finances, liabilities, costs and debts and to increase their market value via honest means or they will be kicked off the US Stock Market as a bad investment!! The same crook & grub Chinese told the investors and the community Ark: Scam Ascended sold 2 million copies (if I like remember correctly).. well.. that means 99.5% of the players have left and only 0.5% remain and after this how many of the 10,000 players who are left in Ark: Scam Ascended will remain?? Like who wants to play a buggy, messy, unstable and unreliable game where the community faces the risk of being dev-wiped and nuked at any moment with 15 days to pack up and move so they are manipulated into buying / paying for the $$ pay to play and pay to win micro-transaction nonsense $$??
The first step to saving Ark has to be removing the crook & grub Chinese who nicked off with the $1.3 Billion USD out of Ark and the franchise that set all of this in motion!! Imagine if the $1 Million USD a month cash out scam he is running through his wife was injected back into hiring UE5 devs who know what they are doing to do all of this properly and from the ground up on a clean and new code base as was promised!! Imagine if they could let us keep our progress with a UE5 upgrade which what was originally promised like 2 or so years ago?? I know this much.. if you have faith in your product you do not run cash-out scams through your wife hey!!
I am surprised all of this has not resulted in a class action lawsuit given how much money, time and effort the community has sunk into Ark: SE and how badly the community is constantly treated!! I am also surprised the crook & grub Chinese behind Ark are also not in court / jail over nicking off with the $1.3 Billion USD that set all of this in motion and then having their wife on a $1-Million USD a month cash-out scam through a scam game and product that has always been a total and absolute lie!!
Don't play it then nerds
@@TheMicado16 99.5% aren't playing it LOL and the Ark shills won't talk about the issues and problems and pretend they aren't there so they stay in favor with the dirty devs and crook & grub Chinese publishers!!
Hate saying it, but on top of it, we can host our own server on xbox like we used to. If i want a private server, i have to rent one and then i cant save my game if i decide to take a break from renting.
yes you can every single rental host server for webservers to game servers can be saved its called FTP. you FTP to a external drive, a cloud storage you can afford or a computer you own. thats never ever been a problem in existence of the internet. ftp has been around since well websites came to exist
Meshing too is a big thing duplicating cheating is a big thing too
I never bought any dlc Maps in ase so for me new asa maps are exciting only major problem what i have with asa is that crossplay doesn't seem to work in non dedicated servers
its funny how wild card compains no plays the ofish servers but no one plays becose the people on ofish piller the hole gd map if they want poeple playing ofish they need to do somthing about the over pillering and tarnacle ass holes who think they can piller the map eathere to keep to themselvs or to sell for cash
Me and my husband have a server we pay for yearly and we only have 3 players on our server! We just changed our map to aberration.
Bring back beginner servers or transfer out only servers for beginners
Sadly, I can see this the fact that it's all pvp servers doesn't surprise me cus once a tribe takes it over, no one can play on it anyway.
Anyone else tried using an art pad on Ark? I've found my Wacom one really increases my reaction times by removing the need for some of the buttons. Then I have a speed keyboard I used for OSU for the small amount of keys I need. Specifically, crouching.
The thing is with sunsetting servers is that you will never be sure if the server u build up on will be there in the future. So whats gonna be the point of building up at all. The end of ark asa is getting closer and closer. Everyone thats losing there base will either quit or never trust to be save in the future. Great move wildcard
you felt safe when asa launched? they sunset servers multiple times in ASE so clearly people either dont care, or just forget after a while anyways
@@empressjessica5020 all i know is that some people did change servers, but alot of people just quit. And the playercount wasnt to great to begin with. But i guess people will always come back🤣
Just imagine if Ark was developed by a serious company, it would be the shit
This company is shity 1st they completely drop the 1st game and it's ofical server then they relaese the same ass game with better grafix and someone else's mod to fix the building and stuff total joke best part is they charged you a 2nd time
One sid eis understandable, they make with each new map new servers, the problem what I see is, they do nothing on the spam of people that n other players can build on these maps. Thats the biggest issue. example pve you need hours to find a server to build on. because of the spam...
I mean, at the end of ASE there was only 1 Island PVE map for each region (NA, EU, etc.)
They need to fix the game since last update many Ab servers been dead because ping is 400-1000+ randomly goes all over the place makes the game no fun to play just lose interest so quickly
They did need to do it on Evolved. The same thing happened. New map they jump on and bases crash on the other maps. Some servers did have hardly anyone on. They need to do this on PVE also. They need to play fair though and give server warnings that it will shut down. Give people two weeks etc to migrate to another server. Because now you can pick everything up. So you can literally load a base in. They also need to go on servers and start dealing with people and the damn pillaring. The Abb server im on is pillared to high hell. Massive ping from 400 to 900. People complaining in chat about Duping yet have massive basses. I couldn't even put a canon on my Para platform because of two many things on platforms. You cant put down a boat or a trap because people have pillared everywhere. In and out the water. So back to the duping. Two tribes complaining ..... One pipes up he hopes there wont be a roll back because he just laid down 500 ceilings
ASA was a big mistake, the devs had to focus on making ARK 2 a better game and remove or change the stuff the community dint like the souls combat and third person only camera. I really hope we get a better game from another dev studio in the future.
Yeah Asa was the dumbest thing they could have done.
IVE SCOUTED 5 OF THESE SERVERS YESTERDAY THAT WERE FULLY BUILT
How do we find if our server is on the list to be removed
Some of these servers are active tho my server is in the list and they are going to sunset a fully built island
Fix bugs and issues before more content
I play PVE so i dont have to worry about avoiding big tribes😁
Where can i check what servers are going down
most people just can"t play it ..its just so bad optimized not even gonna touch it ..they would have been better off just updating ark survival evolved and content
I feel this is the beginning of the end for ark ascended but will see
More like end of studio wild card snail games is gonna bleed them dry
The beginning of the end was when they closed ASE down and attempted this whole shitshow 😂
@@_Wiseyall they had to do was put ase mods on console and it would of done fine
@@_Wisey lol true
The games done as the mega tribes have all the artifacts blocked off. Small tribes is also a no go. So the game becomes impossible for players who lets say just started replaying because we cant open tek turrets ect. So its a no go simple as that. Well what happens to these players due to lack of progression because of this issue. Simple most leave and never return
Still crash every 6 min on AB with PS5
What do they mean by inactive have inbetween 10-20 on our sever on average and its on the list not paid to have to keep moving stuff from server to server
Where is the engine update????
where are they going to trasfer all the stuff on the maps where everyone started their bases get destroyed all the stuctures gone its just a joke
I’m shocked wild card is still in business after how many times they have backhanded their community and gave them a fuck you with a middle finger to accompany it.
Edit: survival evolved is the better game any how. Asa is still to buggy they also made it way to easy to play by changing main things that made the game hard to play. They should have dropped ark 2 instead of this pile of dog shit game they call Asa. They can make the game look pretty all they want to but Asa is driving people away from playing it and going back to ase. I know I prefer ase over Asa any day of the week. Fuck wild card
Bro server 1000 on console has 20+on every day lol
No way??
And you average 5 pop lol don't lie
Same here think they will lose more players at this rate
@@LoadedCrysis Its literally one nothing burger video after another with you, whats the deal???
Hey I remember the sir-5rm8 having a chainsaw hand why is that not in the game
We live on one of these. Like 30 of us.
People stop playing because the game keeps crashing and buggy as hell. If they would fix the basics people would stick around.
My whole app ark ascended cant start idk if its becase this but i just csnt start
They should have solo only servers was fun alone once with tribe it's boring cause everything is just at hand
Man idk if they ever cared about pillar and foundation spam. My tribe got 1 ticket against us on extinction for putting a gate down in front of out base on a ramp (we got banned for our gate to our base)but no one actually got in trouble for the 90 pillars all over the map. Make it make sense
Traits, and bobs tall tales has in my opinion ruined official pvp. Official pve has alwats been horrible with no limit on building space. So a lot of people just buy private servers and limit build space etc.
Its us pvp players most of us go back to unofficial ASE because there are still way more maps and creatures and the funny thing about the sunset servers i read through all the comments and not one person from those servers were in the comments because they are dead servers who cares
Are they going to do crystal isles? That was my favorite map.
If it means more abb servers can come online then I’m keen
This does sound very exciting. Love the sound of it
Dom did you announce the winners from your giveaway when Abb came out?
How do I see these servers that r getting deleted
Is anyone on this comment section from small tribes ? Island as im looking for boss fight so my trube can protect itself . Be awesome help if someone has island server and could help
I have returned ASA because it Runs really Bad and i have an 3080ti
Now they telling you they dropping servers it hasent changed at all your wasting your time on this game they only care about your money enjoy the big screw job your all going to get
I thought you promised us gameplay? Where is it?
This dude is a joke anymore
Who cares about sunsetting. They are all PvP servers
Let me guess, you're a PvE player
@@WEEDDISORDERPve bobs own this channel ):
You mean nuking the servers into oblivion. To save money because this game is failing hard. This game is done for and this company is going bust.
Enjoy getting screwed over again buddy. This game is coming to an end.
@@TheAutostyle game runs fine for me. And aslong as we get all the maps one happy.
Thx for ur Videos !!! I play Offi PVE Xbox Series X. Aberration Ping by 600 Cant fly with Yi Ling or Drake with this high Ping. Hope they fix this shi... I love Ark !!! Greats from Germany !!!
This is a f bs shawarma game... All that ARK felling went away...
Nah the island was dead on ase and scorched.. super dead lol
Lmao back at it again with the server saves no one will be able to have on console yet again lmao this happened way sooner than i predicted
That's why I play S.P

Ok👋
These overhyped videos over and over are kinda lame imo
Yesssss!!! Wild card needs to do more like this!!!! Also why didn’t they do that for scortched earth!! That would of been cool to get into gun fights as you make your getaway in a horse then on a train 😃👍
I am not surprised at all. You (Wildcard) took a game that just needed optimization and bug fixes and dumped it for a very poor remake that barely chugs along on a new engine so even very decent PC's can not run it smoothly. You made the landscape less building friendly in an effort to look more topical whilst also changing mechanics in a way no one asked for to make taming a nightmare as dinos are next to impossible to trap, and (before I uninstalled) could out run you while you could not level speed when torpor got too poor. Then the cryopod absence, followed by the cryopod changes that suited absolutely no one and still has the entire community confused as to why it was done at all. Bob's Tall tales was an okay addition, but adding pay to win tames that were present on the map anyway forcing players to deal with an over powered creature they just could not obtain without paying a toll as a living breathing advertisement that can disrupt your game play in some very negative ways was the final nail in the coffin. All the while, you never addressed the bugs that remained from the old game or performance issues across the board. Your own promotional video (Power rangers) Displayed the same choppy motion as we were getting in game, so I find it hard to believe it was just the player's hardware. You attempted to force the move to the new product by closing official support to the original. You never looked at mod downloads to discern what things might need a small tweak to be more comfortable to players either. Time and time again, the costumer base has told you what they wanted and needed to be able to embrace the new game, but you never listened. You behaved like many modern devs and acted like your decisions were right, because you are making art. No, you are not making art, you are making a product to sell and fund your career and life style.
As some one that works in sales and customer relations on the corporate end, what I would do going forward, if there is rapport left to save: First and foremost, fix the damned bugs and optimize the game so it can be run on the platforms you offer in a reasonable fashion. Many console players have said time and again that the game is unplayable, so how many players are left out that could be populating your servers? Adjust certain mechanics to make life bearable and not so much of a chore, as stated, but not limited to, trapping dinos and the cryopods. I would even go as far as to say refining the AI to better reflect individual species intelligence rather than a shared intelligence would be a grand idea where some dinos in the smarter end of the gene pool avoid structures and the more dim plod on in. That would have been something that would have actually enhanced the game and made things interesting. Stop putting advertisements in the game. If some one did not pay for a paid bonus DLC or tame, it does not enter their game, unless they join a server that has them, or they run a server that allows transfers in. A great way to show off the new bug free and optimized game play would be documentary style promo videos for the new fantastic tames so they can be seen and not be an obnoxious presence for those that decided to pass on them. Storage; base storage sizes are really too small for the material costs of everything, especially if you find a good blue print. Either increase storage size or reduce material costs on crafting. Building needs one minor tweak and it would feel better; allow stacking foundations. The land is even more uneven than in ASE and we kind of needed S+'s stacking foundations there. They are even more necessary on ASA with what you have done to the landscape. The final thing I would say to help draw people to and keep older players on ASA; throw a curve ball. Something free as part of the revised maps, just something creative and unexpected that can shake things up, like the Yi-ling, but not necessarily a tame. Change a cave to be a different sort of maze, or puzzle run. Something players have not seen over and over for the past eight or so years on ASE.
As long as they don’t close pve ones it’s good :))
