i played the og ark for 9k hours almost and i been playing for 50 hours on official asa and let me tell you its not worth the $50 they make you pay for pretty much ark survival evolved but worse.
a list of problem that almost every one has covered already.

#1. game crashing

#2. server crashing.

#3. both game and server crashing at the same time.

#4. bugs that have been in the game since day one of the original ark game like for example the ranged weapons not reloading or randomly dying cause idk you just felt like it.

#5. when you die on ark survival evolved it would show a green beam in the sky showing where you died at in this new ark game you have a death point of interest come up showing you where you died but the BIG problem with this is that if you have to many poi (point of interest) up it wont count so it makes it difficult to find your stuff or near damn impossible if your not out in a open making this feature pointless.

#6. not enough servers for official making it a 30 mins wait time at the least, you might get lucky and get in but not fun spamming the join button for it then to act like its loading you in just to kick you back out to main menu saying failed to connect or server is full.

#7. its just a graphic upgrade and for those who say well they added this new change no they just took stuff from the mods and then made it into their game that they could of added to the og ark.

#8. this was suppose to be free untill snail games looked into their bank account and said we need to charge $50 for the same game.

#9. the ai path finding is a cool change but by the time they are able to come to me im already dead unlike the og game where they made a straight b line towards you.

#10. if you think about starting your own unofficial go ahead and pay half the price of the game to play for a month.

#11. if you play on official pvp you might get banned for attacking the wrong tribe and never being able to play official pvp again thanks to them being friends with the publisher snail games which still refused to give out a statement on why they banned 100+ players.

#12. theres only one map unlike the og ark where there were 6 story maps and 6 non story maps making up to be 12 maps with atlest something different from each other like new dinosaurs new bosses or even making you grind to get to lvl 190 to hold a pointless cosmetic.

#13. buy a good pc and you might get 30 fps on low settings.

#14. they said they would fix the pillar spamming or make it to where its not as bad but we still have the same problem.

is this game worth $50 no, is it worth $30 ehh thats pushing it but for people who havent gotten the og ark
then yes. should people who already have the og game get atlest a 30% discount for already having the og game, Yes. should you buy this game with the state that it is in F*CK NO save your money and buy something worth spending that money on
