The state of the Official game!

[Finscéal an Chu]

I cannot recommend,

I play PVE official and you cannot build or tame anything of importance.

You cannot build on official servers due to pillar spam with ladders or pillar spam with half walls.

Tribes will always Grief wild dinos you try to tame.

Like just today I haven't seen a carchar since day 1 on server EU-PVE-5943.
Today I spotted a carchar on the gene scanner,
I killed some wild dinos to prepare to tame and a Pink mana comes along and kills it to prevent me from owning a carchar the gatekeeping on officials servers is really bad if you only play official do not buy this game.

There is no game on officials the difficulty is non-existent due to render range anytime i'm taming a wild dino and it becomes risky you just need to walk a couple steps to de-render and it no longer aggros to you.

The rates are the most disgusting timers I have seen in any game.
You are looking 14 hrs to care for some baby tames.

The servers are the worst I have never seen an official server that had 250 ping average in my region I live in Ireland I play on EU and 250 ping on a wired cat 6 connection.

I go from 120 fps all the way to 1fps when entering into the city Biome.
They must be the only development team who cannot run an effective PVE server,
There is mechanics that allow other players to grief in a PVP manner on a PVE server.

They also cannot figure out how to get a hold on structure spamming it's been this way since survival evolved they still haven't a clue what to do about it.

If you are new and somehow are stupid enough to buy this game play unofficially as Nitrado servers are the worst and the wildcard developers haven't a breeze on how to get a handle on these same exact issues for years.

I put 120 hrs in the last two weeks alone that's 3 weeks IRL work I could have done.
Instead wasted my time playing a gatekept official server.

I feel like I have enough experience to have an opinion on the state of public servers.
I left in multiple tickets this map and last map and they never take action on people killing wild tames etc.
So you could tranq a 150 rex or giga and someone could come along and kill it out of sheer envy.
It happens all of the time like anyone who has played with unreal engine would know that these developers cannot maintain a public service. They sold out to nitrado and Asian pillar spammers so they can go sell those pillars on discords, I 100% believe wildcard is using RMT on their own game along with nitrado in the form of Asian spammers as I reported mass spam nobody was using and it never gets taken serious.
Pictures, video and other form of proof would be put in these tickets as far back as the island map.

It would make sense that's why wildcard isn't resolving the issue since ASE and Atlas because this is there RMT mechanic that they will lose money on.

Dreadful company who never fix the real problems and create problems purposefully for monetary gain.

If you play single player or unofficial the experience is perfect and it should be the same for officials,
But it's not because RMT can make so much money when people can transfer all of the goods and stuff from thousands of servers so basically,
If I wanted, Which I wouldn't I could sell pillars on my server 5943 to a user on a different server or someone who isn't even on my server so they can come in and buy up the space that is occupied by pillar spam.

I will edit later and try and leave some sort of a link to a page with all the asian structure spammers on the servers,
Also guess what Snail Games is an Asian company 80% of useless spammers are asian,

I don't have anything against Asians it's others spamming as well I am just curious, As to why they're all Asian names with no actual structure just spam, As to why the ping seems to tend to Asia, The average ping in local region 250-300 ping on my closest region server.
Meaning it's possible for asian tribes to come in and spam the map making the experience dreadful for the average player.
Easy Fix: Limit the ping to like 90-120 there isn't any reason for a 250 ping average in the local region.

Snail games were also known to ddos servers so they couldn't be raided on ASE PVP stay miles away from the officials on this server.
It will just take too long to enjoy the content you will more than likely starve for somewhere to build and there is zero challenge on officials I think I have died once and that was from fall damage trying to tame a quetz.

I spurted this review out just because of the time I put into this ASE and Atlas and they still don't fix any of the main issues. Biggest issues on OFFICIAL: "Structure Spamming", "Render Distance", "Dino Spawns and they're just 3 issues that need fixing asap structure spamming has never been fixed in any of WC games.

Reason for them not fixing structure spamming because they sell the spam via RMT on discords.
You will see the odd time people selling in the global chat it's embarrassing.

I didn't pay for this I received it as part of the content creation program.
I bought Bobs tall tales DLC which some parts of the DLC is unusable such as trains we cannot use trains on officials because of structure spam therefore the DLC is voided,

So if you cannot build a train to work effectively such as building tracks to a node, Refund the DLC!
Myself I bought to specifically play on officials,
I would not have bought this DLC if I knew I couldn't build train and tracks because of pillar spam money wasted,
I'm just gonna act like I would actually build a train but I paid for it so I should be able to build it for use in game.
If I can't I am not getting what was promised with my payment for the DLC.

The only way I can get my moneys worth from that dlc is by playing single player or unofficial and this isn't acceptable for me as I only play on officials.

Stay away it's better than ASE and Atlas but in some cases it's worst like dropping from 120fps to 1fps like frozen hitching in the city multiple times. None of these things happen on single player or unofficial.

Just look into the RMT between Nitrado, WC and the pillar spammers.
High Ping for a reason, No fix on structure spam for a reason ask yourself what are these reasons.
Last MMO I remember playing I had 30-60 ping to the server 1000+ players on an EU server,
But Ark the average EU ping is 250, Players from Asia and Africa would have better ping than me to a server meant for my region.
It could be something to do with the game or Nitrado but I believe limiting the ping to 120 or max 150 for European players playing in Europe is a must for the next map.

If you do something like that on this map then players with progress couldn't rejoin, But I think ping needs addressing as this would stop Asians and other out of Europe regions coming on to European servers to spam and RMT.

It won't completely fix it but more so put a bandage on the problem regions from joining.
You will still have spammers from the European region but less overall spam and lower ping creating a much more pleasant experience.

But I am honest with myself they ain't fixing sheet!
I'm gonna go touch grass!

Hides profile, plays Rust, has an obvious inflated ego.

Nobody with your "skill and experience" would ever consider playing on official servers. If you still do despite obviously hating the experience, then that's on you.

Officials are for a brought majority of casual players, if you still consider them despite your "pro like background", it's still again on you.

If you drop to 1fps, you considered ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AMD slavware as your "badass machine", that's also on you. I'd recommend throwing the pc in a bath filled with a bucket full of ice. If it survives the fluid, it might even start performing like a computer, in its new found cooled glory.

Vive la France!

Wildcard shill and simp
Ohh I'm sorry You're feelings sound hurt.
But let me respond to you anyways since you seem to know so much haha.


Well You're Wrong and You're delusional I haven't played rust in a decade lmao.
My PC is good I built it myself can play all AAA titles flawlessly with no issues.

I don't need to go to profiles to look for dirt on people so I can use it against them for spitting facts about this scam game. Which you failed miserably bro says rust lmfao

That's just child minded but I guess I probably am speaking with a delinquent do you know what that means?

I have an RTX card 12gb always low usage and my CPU is always under 30% usage again low usage 32gb of ddr5 ram you were saying.

If you knew anything about computers you would know the only thing that would cause hitching like that would be 100% cpu usage or bad game design and I always monitor my performance you can easily check this from task manager.

Wake the f up and stop shilling you sound stupid all the issues I mentioned are constant issues reported by the community.

I never considered my machine bad-ass never even said it was a good machine it's a decent machine yeah, But I never even said that, You sound mad you are inventing scenarios in ur head.

Viva la france lmfao are you ok is there something other than me expressing my concerns on the game bothering you we can talk.

You sound mentally unwell based on the assumptions you seem to be coming up with.

Shame the devs couldnt put a rule on structures where if only a select few ar eplaced they decay after a certain time if they dont have anything else with them, though spammers would find a way around this.

i think PVE should include if you start a tame on a wild dino then other players would not be allowed to hurt it same as they cant hurt your tames.
(theyll prob kite mobs over but at least you can kill them)

[Finscéal an Chu]

They auto decay thatch but that's not very useful when they just add a ladder or quarter wall to negate it.
They do remove singular pillars but players have now started to add ladders and quarter walls to prevent the auto decay.

There is many ways to fix it we can all agree structure spam has been an issue in ASE and Atlas and they really couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.

Leading me to think someone is making money of all this spamming hence the reason for it not to be fixed.

Yeah wild dinos shouldn't be able to receive player damage if someone has previously hit it with a tranq or fed it food.

this is why i dont play online anymore unless its with friends. Fact is that most those players dont want you there and are willing to do anything to stop other people from enjoying their game. griefing, cheating, harassing, nothing is below some of these people and this goes for most games these days

^ simple facts, true for the past 5+ years in most games

[Finscéal an Chu]

Agreed facts but developers definitely have the tools to negate some of the toxicity they should hold responsibility which some developers definitely do as some have zero tolerance to griefing.
Friends on these survival games is the way to go 100%, But I should be able to jump on a PVE server and not get griefed.
It definitely feels like public server gaming is dying or I am just getting too old

[CrEaToXx]

Appearantly I was wrong. OP isn't a major dummy...

[Finscéal an Chu]

Is this a sincere apology? Are you just being sarcastic?
If so I will take back those comments and remove them as I do not like being toxic but you came at me.

[Finscéal an Chu]

Bro I am chill as a mfer!
Again you're inventing things in you're head buddy nobody is having tantrums I merely stated the obvious facts as you were spewing out garbage and you still are.

Early access is just an excuse to put out a bad product and make money from it,
Not for all developers but some small bunch will take advantage of it when they can.

If you were in fact a true Ark player you would know this issue has been in the previous game ASE and Atlas so that throws you're early access argument out of the window.

I'd personally never download one of the mods you create, you're brain rot hasn't completed a single perfect game in over 300 games, I doubt you can finish a single mod just like the games you play!

As an Asian/American born and raised in the U.S. I take offense to you blaming Asians for the problem. You are a POS.

[Finscéal an Chu]

I knew you would hence why I said it's nothing against Asians.
F off with that ♥♥♥♥ I loved Dragonballz and Naruto as a kid,
If I offend you I do apologise if it helps I just so happened to work for an Asian business on many occasions ,
As an Irish Full breed Racism is in my DNA!

Lol, i live in USA and play on EU server, have been for the past 2 yrs. Asians are not the problem which is why i take issue. 80% of Asian are spammers huh, i've seen more spammers from Eastern Europe than i have from Asia

[GreaseMonkey]

never said there are not Asian spammers, i said dont generalize a whole race over what a few are doing.
If you want to play official then that's on you, everyone knows they are crap.
the same way you thought i was hurt jackass
In my household we hold onto and treasure our Asian traditions so I'll keep saying Asian American. When filing paperwork why does it give the option to choose Asian American?
