Yeah the only people I know who play and enjoy the game do so on heavily modded servers that cut out some of the bullshit.

Nuebot posted:Just to make it better; taming a dinosaur takes literal hours even for relatively minor investments. Like, four hours for a level for poo poo dinosaur that any jackass can stab to death. Every official PVP server is basically owned by giant tribes that systematically ensure no one can tame anything or get beyond stone tier. Stone used to be the point where you were pretty much safe because short of explosions, nothing could break stone easily. Then they introduced a dinosaur that could just eat stone. This is fair and balanced. Huh. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm People in ARK realize there are other video games they can play, right? I can lend someone a copy of Doom 2 if that helps.

It's not that it warrants it, it's that Wild Card was sued for an illogical amount of money for hiring someone under a non-compete clause after they had left Trendy Entertainment, the team behind Dungeon Defenders. Trendy wanted $600m. They settled for significantly less, but $40 million is still an unreasonable sum imo. So they did the DLC to keep afloat.

So it's on a separate island and stuff, right? Except now if you have the DLC you can do server transfers and poo poo and take your cool new poo poo back to the regular game and gently caress up everyone's day and just transfer back before they can retaliate. Also a lot of people were mad about the DLC because the game its self is a buggy, poorly optimized thing and the DLC costs money. Ratjaculation posted:Ark is coming to PS4 and I was thinking of picking it up for the splitscreen, is it good in that regard? If it uses new servers there probably won't be stone eating dinosaur tribes for a while  but I don't know how good the frame rate could possibly be on the PS4. ARK is one of those games that just inexplicably shits its self sometimes even on good computers despite everything looking like its made of glossy plastic.

At like 2:00 in when that salmon is on the beach? The whole game is like that. And just to keep this at least slightly on topic;  Before I accidentally banned myself I ran into a bug where all of the water in my game was invisible. It was pretty cool, but got really confusing when I'd just suddenly be swimming.

The only upside to Ark was raiding with the Goon Foreign Legion who would hop from server to server and smash apart the leading factions through the usual goon ways, duplicity and superior tactics until everyone left then rinse and repeat. Thanks to the bullshit they pulled on one of the official servers the tears spread so far and deep into various forums the devs rushed out a decay system on buildings, to which goons just took more advantage of. Highlights include one player pretending to literally be Hitler and leader of one of those mega factions having several and multiple temper tantrums and some super well geared dude on stream getting knocked the gently caress out because a goon lay prone in their base long enough to sneak into an open door, club the dude to unconsciousness and steal all of his top tier poo poo and play hide and seek while throwing chunks of it away to decompose and be lost forever.

They were so awful they were claiming Goons were using aimbots too. IIRC one of the funnier quotes was "You pop your head out and you get headshot within seconds!"

And how dare they play the game correctly instead of turning it into Farm Simulator 2016 like we did!" <  >Griefing tryhards like this will never not be funny. I miss the Griefing Thread. Also, Slime posted:If getting shot within several seconds is aimbotting I'd love to see this guy play an FPS. Any FPS. This. I (and every other halfway decent FPS player on the planet) have been accused of using aimbots for just being good enough to hit someone in the head from time to time. In other words, quote:we just believed that anything we'd submit would just be pushed off as "Oh they're just salty!" or "They're just crying wolf because they're dying alot!" Yes. That is correct ARK player. This is why I don't play a lot of MMOs. People are loving dumb as hell.

Probably should not poo poo up this thread since it was not a glitch but since this Ark train of tears is a rolling we should go over why everyone on server 360 ~hated~ the loving goons. You see Citadel, the biggest and baddest tribe of them all had a lot of the main areas of the server on lock down. Now the map has changed significantly and resource production and gathering has evolved a lot but it used to be that the only way to get metal was to be on a mountain and they had most of them locked down. That is when the DEA (us) made a tiny little poo poo shack out of metal on a mountain one day, under constant, and I do mean constant harassment we tore a mountain apart for days, not sure who the real winner in this situation is because we had a round the clock metal gathering, forging and a few other specialist teams all pumping out produced metal. You might think it would be used for arms and armor but..no, not so much. Buildings in Ark need foundations first, they have the highest hp values and anything past stone (Again this has since changed) was impervious to all attacks but explosive damage AKA C4. The only way to make C4 involved an exhaustive amount of materials back then, so the DEA lead team decided instead of directly fighting we would just fabricate thousands, upon thousands, upon thousands of metal foundations, see the fun thing about foundations aside from being practically immortal is they disable resource respawn within a wide area around them. So one night when nobody, or mostly nobody was on DEA commandos salted the entire server with metal foundations, any metal resource nodes that were not ours were disabled with neigh invulnerable metal foundations, naturally Citadel went through the five stages of salty gaming. 1. Denial that they just got shown up by a (what they thought) was a small tribe. 2. Anger, this stage generally lasted through other stages, they would shoot at our dudes more, call us names and of course say we hacked and simply spawned those foundations in. 3. Bargaining, I wish I was making this up but some of them would swap to alt characters (same steam name) and ask us nicely to remove foundations because THEY are not actually Citadel and do not deserve the salting of resources. 4. Depression, a common, make that VERY COMMON goon tactic was to infiltrate other tribes, do some unspeakable poo poo to get a leadership role so they could unclaim all the dinosaurs and open all doors and locked containers to be power looted. Hours, even weeks or months of work were undone in nano seconds when the goons got on scene, of course this bummed Citadel and just about everyone else out immeasurably. 5. Acceptance, they never quite got this one down, they eventually all just left the server, we won by entropy and tears. Along the way in this magical journey was them bitching so hard on so many multiple platforms the devs rushed out a decay system, which if you so much as looked at a foundation its time would reset, so the people who were now not needed to farm, simply rode a pterodactyl around to refresh decay timers. Anyway I will stop making GBS threads the glitch thread up with ark stories even if that game in and of itself is one massive one.
