Wildcard gets what they deserve
Lets be honest guys, ARK:SE was a really nice Survival Game, i would even say the most bought and played one. but since this cash grab got released everyone is mad at wildcard. my biggest reason for it is, that the tethering distance between players is'nt working at all. So what does wildcard do about it, lets make some servers for 20 people, like lets be honest who have 20 friends to play ARK:SA with, the most people cant even play the game due the bad performance. so basically you have to pay 20 dollares to play with an other friend, otherwise its pure singleplayer or you have to get on a server which still desyncs and is full of cheating kids. i think people who have about 10 friends playing this game, getting an server will be fine, because ark is still enjoyable but the fact people cant play the game without paying another 20 dollares after the 45 for the exact same game with newer graphics is simple cash grab and wildcard i hope u read that. studios like h1z1 died because of a simple mistake, what u did here is by far more then a simple mistake.

I’d not waste your time with this guy, he repeats the same nonsense in most threads, he thinks a remaster is a new game :/

He even started to speak about my reallife lmao that guy has some serious problems or either get paid to be a troll

But i guess thats what the community of ASA is, like join their discord, once u're there say something true but negative about ASA and you get insulted.

If you look through my post history, I have posted both positive and negative things about ASA sometimes in the same post.

There are things I love about the ASA version for example: Updated build system, Wild baby Dinos, The updates to the electrical and watering systems, dino pinging and more.

The things I don't like or have issues with: crashes (although I don't crash much anymore), Nitrado Exclusivity contract for server hosting (Absolutely hate this), the slow rate that they are releasing the remaster maps, the optimization of the game.

All in all I personally think even with the issues ASA is superior to ASE. I very much think once more content is released and they fix some stability issues that it will surpass ASE in most every way but it is not there yet.

You forgot the part of ugly graphic buggs, like flying stones and blinking trees, not being able to play with friends without paying for an nitrado server which is limited to a minimum of 20 slots. Promising the world to people and idk. This game cant be worse rn. And yea it has cool features which a supperior but when people cant even start or play the game?!?!?!?

I have my own dedicated server setup now on an old laptop. I had a Nitrado server but they got under my skin. Also, I did state in my previous post that I hated the Nitrado deal. I know some people have had issues running the game but for me the game is now stable and runs well.

I honestly wish I could help anyone who is having issues with the game but I unfortunately can't. I have given advice to some people in other posts for what worked for myself but it hasn't helped them. I haven't seen blinking trees yet but have seen the flying stones hopefully these get fixed in time.

Sorry cant reply, playing Palworld ATM its just as good as ASA. Both Games are super fun. both in EA. So I know what I am getting myself into. Either way. Money well spent on both games. Later I might read a book too, cause learning is my friend.

LIke drop the clown shoes bro. ASA is a remaster of ASE not ARK 2. Gameplay/gameloop is exactly the same.
Maps layout is exactly the same, bosses are exactly the same.
There are no new gameplay mechanics that drastically make ASA stand out from ASE.
The qol changes are tiny fracture with no actual impact.
You can do 99% of the stuff in ASE with few exceptions like the ping system.
The closest they got to an impactful change is the cryo nerf, and that nothing new, but a balance adjustment.
Having to eat the same treat again while it has new wrap around it doesn't change the taste in your mouth.
In the end of the day its a remaster, not a new game.
Even if his statement might not be valid for you, its still a perfectly valid statement.
You forgot:
-New build system
-Ovi and dung pickup eggs/poop
-New map system with waypoints
-New dino and ally tracking system
-New voiceovers and illustrations for dossiers
-Remade in UE5
Also I never ASA is a remaster of Ark 2 so I don't know why you felt the need to clarify. Here, take these shoes, they seem to fit you better.

It's not remade in UR5. They literally copy pasted the game code over and probably also just hit the convert to Unreal 5 button. The only thing they likely did do is work on the map.

I think you're wasting your time, this is a 1 in 10000 gamer that has a special version of the game which has zero crashes, no bugs at all and just works perfectly all the time.

You are absolutely shameless.
The bones of the game/SC is the same. This game wasn't remade from the ground up nor its SC. Is the code 1:1 no, you can't just flip a switch "upgrade project to ue5" and that's it. Changes were made to the code obviously in order to work under UE5
That's why ASA has all the old bugs of ASE + new ones.
I pointed out clear giveaways, but you decided to ignore that post for whatever reason.
1.New build system? Whats new about it buddy? You can snap turrets vertically now? You can switch between structures? That sounds like QOL not something that would be considered to your point, being a different game.
2.Ovi can pick up eggs poop almost like ASE had that in the S+ mod.
3.Its not new system ASE already had implemented by SWC with the taming/tracking. Plus there is a mod which also can track your allies.
4.Sure I don't see how that makes it a new game.
5.Its not remade, that claim got debunked so many times. Its a port.
Also I'm very sorry that the line:
"You can do 99% of the stuff in ASE with FEW EXCEPTIONS like the ping system."
Wasn't self explanatory enough, I had to list every little thing even its completely irrelevant.

ASA is a remaster of ASE. Not a new game. I've given you example with ARK 2(Being different game). I didn't mean its a remaster of ARK2.
But you claim that ASA is a different game and somehow ASA center would be so much different than ASE center map.
In response to this:

No one has beat the Center on ASA because it's not out yet. This isn't ASE.

Stop losing the plot bro.

Hes not the only one that doesnt have issues. There have been many posters here who have made the same statement. Youre just mad it isnt you.

It's the same version as everyone else. Had a few crashes launch week, limited bugs and it isn't perfect but I appreciate your useless gaslighting. Do better, son.

Feels like argument #1 Devs are ripping people off and ASA should not exist in its current state. Argument #2 Its just a game dude, its like $30 bucks. Its fun, you get your moneys worth.
Which argument is stronger?

To be honest with you, I'm not sure you understand what the term "gaslighting" actually means.

Yes, you've already stated many times that you don't experience bugs or crashes whilst there are countless others who experience problems with the game on a daily basis. Either you have a special version of this game or what you're saying simply doesn't align to others experiences. What I stated was simply my opinion as I understand that you're firmly set on the belief that there is nothing wrong with the game. That isn't gaslighting, at all.

If anyone is shameless it is you. Why do you guys keep making statements you cannot prove? Everything I have stated comes from my experience playing with both ASE and ASA and reading the patch notes. All you have is dumb assumptions about me and the game you don't even own. Why would I even take your word at face value? Go troll someone else, kid.
My word? Have some evidence I hope you don't ignore this post again.
"Shooter game" name sounds familiar?
Files layout, commands, almost like its the same project on newer engine.
They didn't even bother to remove the .ini files which guess what do exactly the same as ASE.
If you had any basic knowledge this would be pretty telling alone, but lets continue.
Why ASE bugs as far back as ASE EA ended up in ASA?
Why the netcode wasn't changed?
Why patched exploits from ASE worked on ASA?
Why meshing/duping methods patched on ASE work on ASA?
I will tell you why, because they rushed everything and didn't even bother to check if the ported "fixes" would work on the newer engine.
Its obvious it wasn't just a simple button press upgrade to newer UE version. So sure they did make changes. I'm not denying that, that is still tops 10%.
Let me guess this isn't enough of a proof just speculation.
You can't recreate the exact same bugs if you remake the game from the ground up and mind you we are not talking about 1 or 2 bugs. If you had any basic grasp of coding you would know, but you are the perfect example of a guy who has no idea what he is talking about. "Everything I have stated comes from my experience playing with both ASE and ASA and reading the patch notes."
The steam description was removed for a reason "code was completely rewritten for UE5", because it was too easy to debunk that false statement.
You can say QOL changes, but the gameplay is 1:1 with nothing gamebreaking or you gonna say something like, but the ping system. That's in the remaining %.
I bet that's still not enough you want a proof in the form comparing the ASE SC to ASA SC 1:1.
That's a remaster, not a remake.
Drop the copium pipe bud.
So which bugs still exist in ASA that were in ASE EA? Which exploits? A lot of game companies use existing code to remake games because it would be a waste of resources and money to rewrite the functions that make the game work. That doesn't mean it's a remaster. A remaster is strictly a graphical update with no changes to gameplay. A remake is what this game is, it's a graphical update with quality of life changes and added features. Every bit of code that they reused would have to be scrolled over for hours just to change shooter game to something else which is a complete waste of time and does nothing to change the game. So what is the point? You do know what a function in coding is right? You know that block of code that is called by name to make something work in the program? BTW I'm a coder and I do know what I am talking about. Every game company reuses old code but to simply call this a port is laughable and reserved for people who don't know what they are talking about.
