Why add decay to Wind Turbines

[citizen2xb]

Of all the things they need to fix, the fact that they use low quality hosting for their public servers, etc., did they have to break Wind Turbines?
Okay the the fact they worked underwater was the lamest thing.
And break them them based on a position where they worked before?

The worst of all, the most moronic design decision, is why add decay to them?
Its bad enough to go around refresh your bases, feed your dinos, etc., but now you have to remember where all your wind turbines are and waste materials to repair them at least once a week.

If it was such a problem, why did you release them so broken?
Of all the things Wind Turbines didn't need a "fix"/nerf.

Is this supposed to be the developer trying to punish their players for their dumb decisions they now regret?
It was a big F-U by the developer to it's player base.

I think it's so that people play more often
Currently, the game has very few players, there's hardly any difference in the number of players between Ark 1 (aparently abandoned) and Ark 1.5 (new game)
So, if they keep the players like zombies fulfilling the purpose of logging in more often, the game's statistics go up

The game needs a lot of fixes, but when they nerf things it happens in days or hours
Fixing bugs takes months or even years

Played so much over the last 1.5 years, and before that a lot of SE, but it's about to end for me. I just let the game sit there for days now.
Probably time to quit and wait for ARK 2 if it ever happens.
This is probably going to get a lot of people to quit the game.

I think in pvp it forces at least slightly more consistent interaction with things like wind turbines powering big turret nests for weeks, in PVE it makes it much harder on solo players to expand in official servers and maintain simple set ups, but at transmitter tier you are pretty much hopping between bases that often anyway, if you're super active.

I think in once case I found just using some oil and hide was more efficient in a generator, but on others I just transferred over a few hundred of the mats to repair, and keep them in linked storage, since those areas were things like turbines powering clifftop forges on scorched earth with linked already active and etc, anyway.

What's really shocking is how quickly it drops the health on turbines though, I swear its losing about 2k a day, or I'm just crazy.

i was pretty close to a nightmare cause of that update...did not read the patchnotes this time and yesterday i realised that wind turbines are taking damage. 1 day later and all my times would have been dead in their cryofridges, cause they are powered by turbine. around 1000 tames, cause the turbine powerd my cryohouse. now i have to use 4 tek gen to power my base, what just means more bossfights. ive played 2666h in asa so far. dont think i have to play more. really hate that change. found it awesome that clean enegry powered my base instead of dirty oil energy. but trump won the election, so i think clean energy isnt cool enymore :D

tames not times ;)

In Evolved if power was lost on cryofridge for more then 30 days all you had to do was restore the power BEFORE opening the fridge. I am sure Ascended is the same way.

Sadly its not i lost all my Dinos cause of it as i never noticed the damage on Windturbines ( so just stoped now and deleted the game

[JRod01928]

I think the issues is plp were setting up fobs on drops and obbs locking players into maps and then just leave. on to the next server to do the same thing. obviosly they didnt need to nerf us on pve but i get it

Omg . What is wrong with you all. Its a f. Game. And everyone who get lazy to make advanced progress its better not playing survival games.
I started so many time a new journey and have fun since 2015 playing it for over 20k hours.
Loosing stuff its part of this fun and give room to get better in this game.

Stop crying and deal with it
