ARK LOST COLONY! Another Paid DLC! Another Game Incomplete! What's Going On Ark Survival Ascended!

[@chriscotgrove9674]

Coming soon for Ark Survival Ascended, the brand new, totally original ATLAS DLC!

[@benwil6048]

Maybe we’ll see a Dark & Light map too

[@whyismynametaken123]

I wish they would add seamless maps like atlas had :(

[@FEARSxCAMAR0]

We'll get an Atlas remaster before Ark 2.

[@K-W1]

For more context, Snail games has owned Wildcard since December 2015. Trendy's owner filed the lawsuit against Steiglitz after Snail's acquisition. Basically then for 97% of the existence of Wildcard, its been Snail's. Issues come from both the top and the bottom. There's plenty of incompetence to go around in other words.

[@benwil6048]

Indeed; Snail is pretty much a scam company and Wildcard probably/allegedly stole code from the previous company they worked at (which is why Snail got to buy them up). I wish ppl would just put Ark out of its misery

[@angrydrunkengerman2819]

Love me some Jade-ed reviews. Unfiltered, raw, warts and all commentary. It needs to be said.

[@nemsire4375]

Were you raided as a child bro😂😂😂😂😂

[@GlitchedVision]

honestly, as a long time gamer and old school nerd, I'm more upset about the idea of paid mods than I am about Bob's Tall Tales. It says something about how crappy our economic system is if we incentivize players to finish games before they can play them then make money off it so that others can do the same. If they wanted to do this then they should have done it as more of a spectacle, selecting the absolute top mods and putting them directly on the steam store as DLC with the same revenue split, but nope, they gotta hide it off on a third party modding site who also wants to take a cut. This is a pure greed move no matter who does it, FAN CREATED MODS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FREE! unless directly distributed through traditional channels by the developer of the game as part of a revenue partnership program. Snail Games needs to die and set ARK free, then we can get back to judging Wildcard on their own merrits. Honestly, I would straight up buy all the paid dlc maps that are popular if I could do so from the steam store page (or store page of whatever platform I am on)

[@ShizuOtakuVR]

I'm confused, so you think there should be no paid DLC's anymore or something? ASA costs $45, ASE plus all the paid DLC's costed around $100 if I remember correctly. So we got a huge deal to begin with for standalone ASA that woulda cost a lot more, bobs tall tales and the fantastic beasts are optional so if you buy it that's up to you but $10 for new content on lore maps is fine, ASE had Tek Dino skins which costed roughly $1 so maybe $5 is a bit much $3 woulda been better imo. With the new tales coming that's most likely gonna be $20 for the Genesis maps $30 if they include the new Lost colony, and maybe $20 for the new map since that was the going price before in ASE so ASA with the paid DLC's we got now only goes up to $85ish dollars (not including tax) which is about the same/cheaper than ASE with the paid DLC's. So there's honestly no issue to be seen since we're getting even more content than before and it costing (before the new tales and map comes out) cheaper/roughly the same amount as ASE

[@Jade-PG]

most remasters come out as complete, they come out with significant improveents, they did a engine upgrade most companie sdo for free, they added mods on console? what else have they actually improved? not size of downloads? not optimation? not bugs and issues still in remaster from day one 9 years ago? you were conned into thinking teh remaster was good value. the main point is i want my game to be completed before adding in new dlc? i want it to stop being a buggy pos

[@ShizuOtakuVR]

@ if it was just an engine upgrade then it being free would make sense but it's not, remasters aren't free either. While they did upgrade the engine they also have upgraded/changed the maps, mod support for console is also a god send cuz vanilla ark gets boring quite quickly, the size of the game is down by a lot ASE on Xbox is about 200GB while ASA is 121GB, while I get some frame drops on Center and Abberation it def runs smoother, name a game that has 0 bugs or issues. I wasn't conned into anything while WC may be a terrible company that can't keep with their deadlines I gotta admit I'm having 10x the more fun on ASA then I've ever had on ASE, but nitpicking every single thing they do is the most insane thing to do. I understand wanting a complete game but ASE wasn't complete when it first came out, if we woulda gotten a "complete" ASA we wouldn't be playing it until 2026 most likely I'm sure other ppl are also fine that it wasn't a complete game cuz having a new experience of Ark to play especially for us console users is important for us

[@Jade-PG]

its not nitpicking stating they have still got to deliver on gen 1 and 2? that they mak elots fo money from mods and mtx nor is it nitpicking highlighting issues liek xbox delay and rigs not functioning? nit picking is complaining aqbout graphicla issues? qol stuff to me

[@benwil6048]

@@ShizuOtakuVR if it had any quality as a remaster I would not have repeated the same bugs they had before. But at least they're still publishing Ark I guess, tbh I will never forgive them for dropping Dark & Light lol. It's a fantasy version of Ark. They'll try anything for a quick cash grab. And the general corruption of the CEO and the banning/pvp server rerolling scandal when ppl attacked his Chinese tribe, btw the game is free in China, is enough reason for me to avoid this publisher like the plague. If you want to risk it, that's on you I guess but I hope you do continue to enjoy the game

[@MYSELFMyself-y5g]

I kinda want this new dlc

[@Irish1Eric]

After today, no way they get money from me. That map can kick sand, and any DLC they make.

[@devinphillips8085]

wildcard stated that AsA will get 2 new dlc maps so idk why people are surprised by this

[@bethbalash1148]

Not to sound like one of those people but I don't get why you are still complaining and bitching if you don't like what their doing then don't play the game anymore or even make this type of content and let people enjoy the game

[@EranBrown]

People can give criticism 😂 literally had been happening since government was a concept. Don't expect people to just sit quietly like sheep. People can love something and give it criticism. Don't know why people don't get that. Stop getting personally offended when something you like gets held under a magnifying glass. I have a favorite game of all time that gets criticism all the time and you don't see me getting offended. If you criticize something that only means you want it to be better if you are will to put in that energy. He likes the game therefore he is going to point out it's flaws so they see it and make change. It's the only way change happens 🤷

[@thiscommentwillbedeletedso5211]

Leave the million dollar company alone as energy

[@bethbalash1148]

I never said people couldn't criticize a game you're taking what I said out of proportion what I am saying is that if someone has so many problems with a game and a company you either learn to just deal with the decisions or just don't play the game anymore and I just want to clarify that most companies have fallen to becoming money hungry but I do know he like ark a lot and you can criticize something even if you like it.

[@Just_an_Outdoor_lad]

I love how ark players sit there glazing the demise of their favorite little game

[@cowpokesolo]

​@@Just_an_Outdoor_lad It's not glazing. Some of us just don't take games as seriously. Ark may not be perfect or optimized, but I enjoy playing it. I'm not a hardcore player, but I also don't feel the need to spread trash on the internet about games I don't even like. If I don't like it, I don't play it, simple.

[@Firefighter5II]

We knew this was coming, chill

They said a surprize not another paid dlc before the game was finished

[@Jade-PG]

@shacharabutbul the maps aren't free they are part of the remaster, we already paid for season pass on top the mtx dinos and mods, go play rust, nms see what they give compared to ark

[@NotHim730]

Wildcard’s decision to release the update before Xbox certification has left Xbox players completely locked out, unable to defend themselves or even log in, leading to unfair wipes and loss of progress. Freezing decay timers is not enough-we need PvP timers stopped and servers rolled back once the update is live to restore fairness. The community must push for these actions directly by sharing feedback consistently and factually. The longer Wildcard delays, the more damage is done. Only unified pressure will force them to act. We have to all want the same thing including the extra extinction server drops a fresh start!

[@thecave9157]

A big issue is new maps is great but the unnoficial servers clusters are going to get too expensive to keep all maps going. Certain maps are going to have to be sacrificed

[@velacirapper]

I’m gonna say something (please don’t attack me for my opinion tho). I’m conflicted, on one hand I get why people are mad at wildcard. The trains were one thing, even the blimps were, but having the cars, oasisaur, armadoggo, etc. locked behind a paywall both isn’t fair and is pay to win, and I think they should’ve found another way to have more stuff in the DLC if that makes sense. On the other hand I’m glad they’re doing it this way and rereleasing the maps for free one-by-one because it’s giving me something to look forward to, plus I don’t mind paying for bobs tall tales, fantastic beasts, etc. and I always prob will pay. I also understand the need to release DLC so they’re making some money, despite the fact I disagree having to pay for some of the stuff in the DLC. Point is, I see both sides of the argument. Personally I’m having a lot of fun in ASA and really don’t want it to die, but I understand both sides.

[@Jade-PG]

I just wnat what is promised and not more delays and cancellations, then they can charge what tehy wnat for whatever but people bough the remaster with the promise off all previous ase maps, it's not extra it's a requirement by purchase even if it's originally cheaper then the original game and maps, remaster are never worth more then original games anyway

[@velacirapper]

@Jade-PG I get that, but I don’t necessarily think they’re not delivering on anything (besides every map getting delayed, they need to work on that, like start prepping days in advanced not hours, but I digress), because they told us they’re plan with the maps from the start. The only thing f that changed to my knowledge was the fact that the game was supposed to release with the island AND scorched earth, but it just released with the island, which goes hand in hand with what I said about the delays.

[@FrodoKhandr]

If i dont get an xbox update today, im buying a fokin other to play.

[@joshuamckenzie831]

I thought the story expansion wasn't supposed to happen until they had all the cannon maps released. Isn't that what they said?

still havnt bought any of the paid dlc. i just use cheats to use the new creatures when i play with my freinds

[@PhilippJauss]

Somehow ARK is slowly losing me after these thousands of hours, just because the quality is getting worse and worse (just my opinion). I don't mind paying for an updated/refreshed game that would even allow me crossplay and modding-support on all platforms. Work needs to be paid, that's ok for me. But the neverending issues, bugs, glitches, lak of performance...... I simply don't feel joy anymore when starting ARK. It might be meanwhile an industry-standard to overpromise and underdeliver, but I simply have no fun anymore constantly spending money on stronger hardware, googling, searching forums and reddit for tweaking a game manually with startparameter-settings, manual console command adjustments and so on. And justifying all this with the argument of "Early Access" is no excuse (again, my opinion). It makes me sad, but maybe it's just time to let go of it.

[@gamerghxst]

I swear they didn’t even update the mammoth model in the cinematic lol

[@golden_sniper384]

[@thugdragonz]

aslong people keep buying paid shit the company will keep making it.

[@monkeybombsgoboom]

If you quit Ark you would be surprised how you don't suffer from all the problems these games and this franchise has with it!! Also.. if the Chinese Publishers did not nick off with $1.3 Billion USD out of the Ark franchise you would not have a scam game littered with pay to play and pay to win micro-transactions!! Meanwhile the head Chinese publisher has his wife on a $1-Million USD per year wage.. a cash-out scam through a wife!! Like with confidence in the franchise like that what could go wrong?? Heck I just checked out the General Chat for Ark: Scam Ascended and it does paint a very clear picture of the true state of this scam game!! Like quit while you're ahead!! Trust me when I say the grass is greener on the other side!! Other games exist or are coming like Echoes of Extinction that will render Ark useless and obsolete!! That game.. Echoes of Extinction is the game the dirty devs and corrupt crook Chinese promised.. being built from the ground up in UE5 on a new code base!! It is not an existing UE4 game imported into a rushed, buggy and messy UE5 world!!

[@benwil6048]

I’ve been saying the same for probably years now; Snail is 100% a scammy cash grab company. Look at Dark & Light for example too; I hear Atlas was also rife with power abuse n shit

[@monkeybombsgoboom]

@@benwil6048 I woke up when they dev-wiped 20,000 official servers and told the community our progress, the time we put in, the money we spend in the grey and black markets was worthless to them!! Like they imported Ark: SE into their rushed, messy, buggy, unreliable and rushed UE5 worlds so why did we need to lose all our progress?? I think the truth is they were bankrupt when the crook and corrupt Chinese nicked off with the $1.3 Billion USD from the Ark franchise and they could not afford those 20,000 dedicated and official servers!! It is clear to at least me the servers for Ark: Scam Ascended are on a shared series of servers and they are not on dedicated servers or hardware. This is probably why they perform so poorly and why the dirty devs and the corrupt crook Chinese have already dev-wiped active servers from their Ark: Scam Ascended official server cluster list. Either they can't afford them or they are using up processing power that could be dedicated to new maps, new servers and of course the paid DLC and micro-transactions that have ruined Ark forever!! It is also probably why when servers say 35 people are on the server is then considered to be full (with 70 people on them) because the servers literally can not handle any more people / players on them!! It also explains why some servers crash because their PID is in the red and is using too much processing resources and so it is shut off or restarted if this goes on for too long. When that happens in Ark: SE sometimes the server overwrites the single world save binary file with a new one and so the server appears to be dev-wiped as it has reset itself. Given Ark: Scam Ascended is Ark: SE imported into a rush, buggy and unreliable UE5 world it stands to reason if this happens in Ark: SE it can and does happen in Ark: Scam Ascended!! If enough servers PID is in the red zone and they are restarting then one of the other outcomes is when you transfer from one server to the other you will lose your character as the whole transfer system starts to break and fail apart!! In Ark: SE when this happens on a private server you will lose your character and there is absolutely no way to get it back without a complete restore of the entire server!! I wonder how many backups the dirty devs and corrupt crook Chinese keep on their shared cluster of Ark: Scam Ascended Servers and if they can restore them at will!! For many I suspect they won't get their characters back if this is happening. Worse if the entire transfer system is not ported to local mode (on the server storage itself) or if it is corrupted even on one server the problem will spread. Behind the scenes Ark: SE and of course Ark: Scam Ascended is held together by sticky tape and rubber bands. The dirty devs have applied so much over the years I don't even think they know how to fix any of it. Now they have patched over it with their scam game and I doubt any of these things could be fixed properly. At some point it will start to break in on itself and when that happens well the community won't have any options other than to accept it is a broken mashed up mess of a game that I don't think was ever intended to reach the size and scale it has!! Cheap servers from a cheap, unreliable, corrupt, dishonest host who lent the Ark Franchise $4-Million to make this game and has secured exclusivity rights so they don't compete with anyone and are free to provide cheap, nasty and unreliable servers!! The next question is can those dirty devs and corrupt crook Chinese actually afford dedicated hardware and better servers for that scam game?? Perhaps the wife on a $1-Million USD per year wage would be better not getting that wage and that money should be put into the very franchise her husband bankrupt!! Who is lining and stuffing their pockets full at the cost of the Ark franchise and what the community was promised.. a free UE5 upgrade with no progression loss around 2-3 years ago?? I guess the best thing for all Ark fans is to wait for Echoes of Extinction hey!!

[@Just_an_Outdoor_lad]

didn't they say there would be any dlc's yet? like this is beyond yucky pvp is dead now and the game doesn't even work yet

[@fruitbatcat]

Fanboi alert - While I'm super pissed about the way they've treated xbox players, tbh even just with the island release I've got my money's worth and that's all I'm really fussed about. If I wasn't enjoying it anymore I wouldn't buy. I'm hyped for extinction (minus the pain for xbox peeps) and will certainly be buying the new dlc sight unseen. WC are the absolute worst devs, but also the absolute best as no other game comes remotely close for me. I can certainly see why other ppl r so pissed about it all tho, and can't say they are wrong, I just can't get that worked up about it.

[@The_Privateer]

If it makes them money, if people keep buying it, they will keep milking it. "Money Grab" is just good business. Deal with it. It's how the world works. It's how the world has always worked. I don't get how people just don;t get this. I don't understand how people can be so entitled and self centered to not acknowledge... just the way the world (entire world, not just the 'gamer world') works. I mean, on second thought, I guess I can understand - "Gamers" tend to be younger and lacking in life experience of responsibility. No mortgage or insurance or car payments to make. No families to provide for. No work deadlines that you can't meet. Not just your own expenses either, but as a manager where you might also be responsible for tens or hundreds of families. Is it bad to hoard as much of a boatload of money as you can? Internet judgement says it's bad, but those same people would hoard as much money as they could if given half a chance.

[@Jade-PG]

There are better examples of making money, rust for example overwhelmingly positive the most played survival gane, give monthly updates, noone complains about there dlc or skins because they support the game. 1.3 billion ark has made yet it runs like ass a second time and stil selling poor thought out dlc, I guess some people like to question and others take things like a bitch
