All I see is people who love ARK and want it to be better. As do I, as does the rest of the team. These types of posts don't discourage me from visiting Reddit or engaging with people.
In this instance, there was something within the publishing certification that got held up in Microsoft's system. Your points still stand, regardless. Thanks for the feedback!
We have a team looking into this!
Read moreMy greatest suggestion to you ced. Add in something where people can pay per month to call a dev for help.
You need more enforcement and people who are willing to spend thousands of hours into this game will spend a couple bucks a month for the option of calling a dev in the case
- of getting meshed
- Enemy using mesh bite or mesh velono
- Verify enemy isnt using aim bot.
In a normal case it could be a waste of your time. But if we are willing to pay per month to cover the salary of these people we would.
Hell some of the megatribes would probably pay to have a dev sit under their base 24/7.
You have a product more addictive than diablo 2 for christ sake. Find a way to pay per month, and make it worth it for the consumer. Police the official servers properly.
Tribe duping constantly? Put it in the policy they must invite you to their discord to scan it. If they want to play they will agree to the conditions....
Solid suggestion.
I've got a lot of questions

wait, we can DM you for the QoL list?
Also, your Suggestions forum needs a dedicated subsearch function so we don't duplicate suggestions and can vote for the existing one instead. Also sorting suggs by date first is better for us, people are replying to 6-month-old posts because they're presented right after a 6-hour-old post.
I'd agree but I'd also argue the system is better than what we had in place which was just a standard forum. I hope we can add to the system when time allows. And sure, you can DM me but u/air401 will let you know that DM has been sitting for a while. And that DM pointed me to posts that I may have missed. There is no rule saying you can't DM me :)
Read morewrong, there is a code of conduct for PvE. for example, it is considered illegal to spam small dinos like dodos/dilos. you can also get wiped for claiming too much land (e.g. excessive pillering). they do enforce these rules pretty frequently. on 2 of my servers some tribes got wiped for pillering, our tribe got wiped on another server for spamming dodos some time ago.
edit:
these are the current rules:> Game Blocking - you are not allowed to block other tribes from playing the game on PvE servers. This can include but is not limited to:
- Building at their base
- Blocking in other tribes dinos
- Blocking access in/out of a tribes base
- Obstructing pathways or waterways for the purpose of denying another tribe access
- Blocking access to important resources (ie. charge nodes, gas nodes, Extinction City Terminals, etc)
- Intentionally filling the server tame limit via spamming tames (such as Dodo, Jerboa, or eas...
Correct, there is a COC for PvE. While it may not seem like it is always enforced to the fullest, I wouldn't want to be caught on the wrong side of the fence. I recommend to play clean and continue to report those who aren't.
Please check your dm's from me. Quick 5 minute read.
:) Seen. I'll make sure these get added and I'll try to do a better job at reading my DM's sooner.
I'll keep bugging!
Read moreWhile hes probably the best CM wildcard has ever had, I have to agree with this to some extent.
The fact that the QoL list exists is fantastic, but 80% of it was copied and pasted from the responses to one Twitter post, which provides no means of judging whether or not the changes are desired by the Ark community.
Yet very few of the QoL entries came from the Game Suggestions page that has a voting system and was made for this exact purpose.
This makes it hard to trust them when they say using the "proper channels" for both Game Suggestions and Enforcement Issues will lead to faster responses on their end. In fact, this is one of the reasons some YouTubers and streamers leak bugs, meshing, etc, they know that publicity will get the problems fixed faster than using the "proper channels", which forces wildcard to drop what they're doing and fix it immediately, leading to poor project management and therefore less time to fix problems preemptively.

I used the forums as well. Some of the suggestions that are on the forums are on twitter as well because a lot of people use more than one platform. I appreciate the honest feedback. I won't argue that most of my commentary is on Twitter. Twitter is a platform in where if people want to ask you a question, they tag you. Reddit and the forums are not always that way. Reddit and forums tend to have active conversations that may or may not benefit from dev interaction. The same is not true for twitter where if someone @'s me, I know its something directed at me. But the feedback is warranted and valid. I need to spread the love :)
He is only on twitter and usually is reply to the same exact people for hours on end.
f**king hate twitter and social media. Why is it so hard to use your own official channels...you know like the f**king forums and news page on your own damn site.
I've been more active on Reddit and the forums.
I know it may seem that way, but that's not the case :) . The post you referenced first was at a time when we had 2 community managers and times were less busy. DLC launches are extremely busy and always benefits when you have more than one person to share the load. Your feedback won't go unnoticed though!
This wasn't a suggestion by a mega-tribe. We're objectively looking at all servers and when we looked at the beginner servers we saw they weren't being used as intended and wanted to make changes. I can understand preferring these servers for performance reasons but there are other options for playing if that's your main/only concern. Admittedly, server performance is an area that needs improvement.
We'll be looking at other servers and server types and making changes if needed.
What I know is that hacker on GG side is decompiling Ark and he knows every step you do on client side :-/
It's the sad reality of the business. Staying one step ahead of the latest exploits/hacks is challenging. There will always be new methods, new dupes, new exploits, new ways to mesh. Which is why the response is just as important as finding a way to prevent them.
Can you at least roll the server back to the point where there was no PVP and they had there tribe? At least that way the war can continue.
While it's a possibility, I haven't heard anything of the sort yet. At the moment, enforcement and QA are still doing some investigation and discussing options.
Edit: For clarity anything is possible and I don't want to rule out anything for the simple fact of having to go back on my word.
Thank you for the response Ced, is there anything that can be actively done about the tribe on 188? That is one of the oldest Land Bases in Ark and there is a huge war going on. Now they are impacted by some sort of GodMode/Dev Client Wizard who has split the tribe, put them as allies making it impossible to defend.
Is there a way the server can be locked down until the issue is resolved?
I know that enforcement is actively looking at the situation. I can't get into details 1. Because I don't know them and 2. It's not proper etiquette but when/if action is taken I'll be sure the community knows (generally) what action was taken and what to expect going forward.
I posted something in a thread that has the same sentiment as this one and the message will largely be the same. Some of these discussions in the thread are happening internally too. It's not lost on the team that there is a problem plaguing the official network and some measures need to be taken to re-establish a healthy player base.
