Game is fun, but hacking is terrible. Refund in 2 days if I dont get a response.

[JUCCII]

I had my name and all my pals in my party names changed to a hacking website. My name is still the hack name. Sent an email to get it fixed a week ago nothing.

Logged into today and my 2 bases were completely destroyed by a hacker. Level 26 and lost everything except my level, what was in my inventory and all my pals except my 5 pal party. Sent another email. If I don't get a response by Monday I will be asking for a refund and wont even be sad about it.

Not gonna dump days of my life into a game that a hacker can come in and just destroy it with a couple clicks of a mouse. Kinda pathetic a game can make this much money and they arent even putting forth a good anti-hack attempt. Hackers going from server to server and jus ruining it for sooo many people.

Lol just spawn your stuff back in dude

[Aquascape420]

just play solo til they add anti cheat. and if you really want a refund you should be careful of your total play time.

[AirSniffer]

Your fault for playing on public servers I guess

[Lupa]

Why are y'all playing on public servers on a fresh EA release game, regular public servers in Ark and Conan Exiles are already bound to have them

[WVKush | TTV]

Good luck getting a refund, the rule is no refunds if you play for 2+ hours.

The warning was right there the whole time.

You had to click away from the very prompt encouraging you to play single player or coop.

Ok.

Kind of pathetic people don't know about hackers after the fall of Runescape, World Of Warcraft, Ark Survival Evolved, insert any other multiplayer video game that hackers abuse for fun.

So very true, unfortunately many players don't read such texts and just click the button to start playing. It really pays to actually read those texts though.

Also pretty much every multiplayer game with official servers has problems with hackers on them to some extent. So with a small indie company releasing a game in early access and frankly not equipped to handle anywhere near this many players you can expect the official servers to be terrible just as they warned about in the text.

I do hope they'll get it fixed in the future though as this does hurt the game in the long run. Many players don't like to play these kinds of games solo and if not playable on official servers some of them will turn their backs on the game completely. Ofcourse there will also be others who will continue to play on unofficial password protected serrvers and as the game ARK has proven that way it can still be quite successful, however it will not reach full potential that way.

Its incredible how you have the mental capacity to purchase, install, and play the game but not enough common sense to know the risks involved with playing on public servers.

If you play on public servers, it means you're prepared for severe griefing and dealing with hackers.

Just play coop between you guys. Avoid public server.

Do some research... the answer to all your troubles is somewhere in the discussion tab.
