Is it just me or has ark started to become better after Jat, Jessie and the rest moved on to their failing pet project game? Yea it was annoying seeing all the posts by Jat about the pet project but, honestly, all of these improvements coming after they left to make grapesh*t makes me wonder if they have been holding everyone else back. Maybe I am biased tho?
External link →I appreciate that many of you have noticed a positive change in the team as of late! We're definitely changing things up and doing our best to listen to the community. Working with ChrisW and Colin over the last year has been a great experience.
I do want to address something though. I have immense respect and admiration for Jat, Jesse, and Jeremy (we sure do have a lot of J names don't we?). I worked very closely on a team with Jeremy and Jat in particular for two/three solid years and they are without a doubt the hardest working people I know. I'm not even sure how they manage to do it all, I'm pretty convinced they're not human.
I can understand that not every decision, direction, or change made to ARK during that time may have been one that you agreed with. But the entire Wildcard team as it was before ATLAS was responsible for building ARK as you know it from the ground up, and that happened as a brand new game studio out of someone's house. They are all very dedicated individuals who have a lot of love for ARK, and also for ATLAS now. We learn, we grow.
Again, thanks for the kind words regarding the direction of ARK and I hope that we can continue to do great things that you all enjoy. <3
