If you bought the new map you are actively hurting the community

[Birds Aren't Real]

Just thought I'd chime in. They will keep feeding you guys ♥♥♥♥, for ridiculous amounts of money, made by other people, until you stop tolerating it.

[Serious]

Did you actually think about what you wrote?^^

Just this:
"They will keep feeding you guys ♥♥♥♥, for ridiculous amounts of money, made by other people, until you stop tolerating it."
So the community will pay for stuff and the devs think they want more of this so they develop or simply integrate even more of it and the community will buy it.
So ... thats active hurting in your world?

I don't like the current quality of ASA updates or the unfinished map as paid dlc, but spreading nonsense like your "active hurting ..." isn't better.

Just ignore it and bam...
If enough of the community will do this the devs won't do it again.
if enough buy it then, ... well then the community want more of this

I am bewildered that people still play this garbage, I check in once and a while since I was a total no-lifer on evolved but this thing has really gone to the dogs!

I actually understand your title in this way: I am happy to pay 20$ for Astreos, I am also happy to pay WildCard 20$ extra to ask them to fix ASA, but not 20$ for Astreos which is hosted on a broken ASA. Astreos is not the point of discussion. It is the broken buggy ASA. The devs team must spend time on fixing ASA right now. NOT spending time on writing new DLC

I just don't get all the negativity. You have the option to buy it, and if you decide not to, you're simply missing out on the chance to tame the "Maewing" and explore a great map created by one of the most respected modders. You can still obtain the "Maewing" through trading in multiplayer or spawning it in single-player.

In the end, the map is impressive for PVE, even though it's unfinished it is extremely large. I have faith that the modder will complete the map and give it the attention it deserves.

The company is clearly facing financial challenges, and since I love ARK, I'm more than willing to purchase DLCs to support the game's future.

bro you have 1,800 hours into ascended. You are so addicted to this game that logic and reasoning went out the window with you on this topic a long time ago. We're not taking advice from fanbois who can't look at the situation objectively. I shouldn't have to pay for dinosaurs that should be in the game. How many hundreds of dollars am I expected to pay to add dinosaurs into the game that should have them? How many hundreds am I expected to pay for cosmetics in the game, when it crashes constantly? Cosmetics and extra dinosaurs don't matter in a game that crashes all the time. Now obviously you are gonna say you have never had problems with ARK. We will laugh at you, and ignore you from now on. Every game in steam forums always has an unreasonable addict who expects us to behave like an addict also.

Hmmm, interesting......If Nekatus made this and he did, was selling this as a premium mod or something is really weird,,,,,,we are definitely being lied to......the maker of this mod is Nekatus....we all agree? Why is steam dlc saying developer is studio wildcard and snail games? DID Nekatus sell it? Or is Studio Wildcard just taking credit for his work and he gets nothing? something is definitely all lies.....Another issue I have 15 bucks, but Ark Ascended with 12 maps is 24 bucks on steam? COME ON MAN. There is definitely something weird going on.

When I used to go out a lot at parties, I always paid 150-200 euros for a bottle of whiskey, so I can't say 15 euros is expensive, xD

Instructions unclear, purchased new map

Vote with your money people, Either buy it or don't buy it. Going on a crusade to criticize other players for buying something is not going to make it stop happening. The people purchasing it are not going to see these threads and have an uno reverse card play in their head.

You just happen to be the minority when it comes to whether or not this type of thing should be supported. Its unfortunate but the best thing you can do is vote with your money and create threads that criticize the company ( not the people paying for product ) because going after the consumer will get you no where.

Not only that but you can push for law that directly punishes businesses for selling unfinished products if you want to make a real difference in what businesses can get away with and if that doesn't get enough support then again you were a minority that felt that way.

Such is life.

Is 1,707 hours too much? 😜 I'm really not a 'fanboy' of WildCard at all (I didn't buy the last Fantastic Tames DLC because I know it will probably get nerfed when the next one comes out, just like they did with the Pyromane).

But I do enjoy the game. Believe me, I’ve had my share of issues with it like everyone else. Despite that, I want to see it succeed, and I really hope they release more fixes and optimizations before the next DLC so everyone can enjoy the game even more."

Does that work for you? 😊

[Serious]

It doesn't matter if you are a fanboy or a hater.^^
As soon as you say something postiv you ARE a fanboy.
As soon as you say something negativ you ARE a hater.
Welcome to forums, welcome to steam, welcome to 2020+

Yes actually, Where we don't agree is that you seem to think they still deserve more money for their so far failed efforts. I also want to see the game succeed, but I'm not willing to give them more of my money for a product they are telling me will still not be in a finalized state of play. I don't have any problems paying for DLC in a game in good working order. I want to see a playable game without breaking patches before they ask me for even 1 more dollar. Then we can talk about DLC. When as it is the game consists of me building my empire just to be locked out of the game for a month here and there and have to rebuild and restart a bunch of stuff over and over again.
They don't get to keep asking me for money and not FIXING what I already paid for.
Until this point I owned all dlc for asa, and ase. I don't mind paying for it.
How are you gonna charge me for a feature in a game that doesn't work?

[zebrah]

I Mean the fact that they are going the skyrim route should show you how money hungry they are.... Released the same game with a slight graphic update for full price...... even thou they said we'd get it free. It should not be full price for people that own the first ark.

Really makes me mad that they closed SE servers, basically trying to force people to buy SA. If they want my money I want ARK 2, its hard to justify buying Ark and the expansions all over again.

my money, i'll spend it how i want.
