I also took a break from ARK, been playing Dragons Dogma, Monster Hunter World and The Front, The Front is like ARK Omega but with zombies instead of Dinos, yes you can tame the zombies ...😁

One hundred hours in and already fighting bosses? Sounds like it's playstyle that's causing burnout. Rushing through skipping the content tends to kill fun.

Ase is finished, asa is not even 10% done. Why people complaining

I uninstalled ascended and play modded ASE, a much better game even looks better inho.If Aberration is not great I'll be done with ASE, the immersion just isn't there so far.

bro how u get bored after 100h only people like me have thousands of hours on island only

I mean, consider ASE never got fully fixed why place any faith at all into ASA? I refuse to even buy it. ARK 2 will release and it will be only borderline playable but they will have 10 paid DLCs ready before you can enjoy the main game.... WildCard stinks! Play some Conan Exiles or Palworld! 😂 Heck, even go back to Minecraft! 🤣

Stfu.. your negative ass talking shit cuz u a bob… skill issue

I feel exactly the same

Personally I haven’t felt the magic in a while but I’m hopeful

It's becoming too monetized for my liking.. Really premium dinos that require extra purchase to tame?? Really ARK? I get paying expensions but... paying to tame certain dinos????

game is just a money making system for the cheaters an devs

ark ascended is beautiful but the i can never get used to the spawn rates being so low, I'm always traveling way too far to get good lvl tames :/

These kind of games are for people with no life. Who wants to spend an entire day just taming a big dino?

You've been playing for less than a year, and have less hours on the game than I have on my least played map. Yet you feel that you have the knowledge to comment on the game as a whole? Goddam, that's a bold move. ASA is a better game, by leagues. The problems that ASA face are usually related to people with subpar hardware. It's an absolute pig to run. If you had decent hardware, and cranked ASA to the top quality, you'd understand why. Breeding is better. Building is better. Graphics are better. Dinos are better (the ones we have). Maps are expansive and lush. It genuinely feels prehistoric. (hence the part you claim you feel small. You ARE small) Here's the meat and potatoes and my feelings on the state of the game. The community is faced with 2 choices. Play content they've already played (Island, Scorched and soon, Aberration) and were notoriously the least played maps. Gen2, Fjordur, Extinction, Ragnarok ... all hold a chokehold for many of us. Or, 2, stay on ASE on a map you like, with your progress over the last 10 years and wait. I didn't WANT to start over, but I'm glad I did. The map cycle could be a little faster, yes ... but this is fine. Mod maps make it even better! People that love the later maps, when ARK really reached the pinnacle ... they'll port over when the maps drop. PAY2WIN isn't real. There's nothing about ARK that's Pay2Win. The Pyromane isn't that good of a tame and the Oasisaur is probably the worst thing ever created. You do not miss out on anything and you do not get locked behind a wall if you don't spend $5 on a Pyromane. This argument comes from people that have nothin to offer by way of opinion and just resort to bandwagon comments. Keep playing. Actually learn the maps. Experience the game. A few hours isn't nearly enough. IMO ... upgrade your PC. You'll see just how insane the graphics can be. UE5.4 apparently brings frame gen for those of you with low tier specs. That may be enough to get you into the game more.

do you know why console player can't use mods in the first game

When you have a group of good friends you trust the magic will always be there with any Game

In my experience, nothing will ever beat that first time starting up a new game you have been excited for. Experiencing and learning the game for the first time. We are all always looking for that next game to bring back those feelings. I played ASE for 3000 hours (singleplayer only) and im gonna do the same for ASE. Sure both games have their flaws and sometimes ill play ASA for hours, where i cant stop playing. Sometimes i get bored after 20 minutes. I think to keep yourself from burn out from a game you like, is to have a pool of different game you like to play. Stop playing a game if you dont feel like it, and come back recharged when you do. Some of my most favourite games i dont even play, if i dont do it with someone else. To me its about finding that niche, that you enjoy doing in that game.

I can't stand ASA and I have buyers regret! I will continue to play ASE.

Sigh... another pve player. "The stress of retaming an argie" - lol

My take on the issues… Sadly, Wild Card is under investor pressure to make deadlines whether the map is ready or not. That causes premature releases and glitches. And then if they don’t make the deadlines, people are mad they didn’t meet them. As for “the love for ark”…. Think of this game as a Pokémon game. You are trying to collect the best. The thrill is in the hunt. You have barely scratched the surface of the island. You haven’t gone to the underwater caves. You haven’t beat all three obelisk bosses. You haven’t opened the Tek Cave. You haven’t fought the final boss and truly ascended. The true story of ark is still waiting for you. Personally, I have enjoyed ASA. I enjoy the story maps more than the other ones. But all of it is enjoyable. I’m a completionist.

No, because it has nothing to do with ASA. It is boredom with the overall game, both ASE and ASA. Too much time has made the dopamine level for play become just stagnation. Perfectly normal after so many years playing the same game. Everyone goes through this, when the passion is gone. Games, relationships. Time to find something else that triggers that dopamine feel goods again.

the game is broken,,, I have graphic cards from last year with other compatible components from year 2022, but they are better than what the game recommendations are but the game looks like shit and the performance is awful.

well we also have to remember wildcard made some deals with devils, first with snail, then with nitrado, they were put on a massive time constraint to release ASA by last october, and as a result it's a buggy unoptimized mess, which standard for wildcard, but it could have been better. personally hoping for the update to UE5.4 alongside the release of ASE's most popular map to do the job of bringing back the people. The biggest thing is most can't play ASA due to system requirements right now, something the update is expected to help with, and the lack of content, leave us as a community divided, but if they can hash out the performance issues so that NORMAL rigs can run it, and the playerbase consolidates on ASA, I see no reason why it should continue to struggle as it is. If people treat it like shit, no matter what you do, it will seem like shit. outlook speaks volumes.

True words

If you play games to enjoy them you going to enjoy in the games but when you play to get money on game then game is boring

Got sick of playing Ark so went back to playing one of my old favourites The Elder Scrolls Daggerfall free on steam

Kurtis is performing fine, maybe try PvP or other styles

I mean if you play alone its gonna be a challenge, Ive enjoyed my 300+ hrs as a solo player on official PVE The Island you can laugh if you get arked with the server and they might even hook you up with what you need for free. Hell last weekend we spent all day perfecting a public Rhynio trap and looking for bugs to get prego. Not saying there’s no issues but having people to play with makes everything more enjoyable.

One huge problem in generating negativity.... Is videos like this.... You have low number of followers your trying to boost ... And negative draws more views and activity than positive. Multiply that by all the others on your shoes and boom bobs your uncle negative tarpit

Now I gotta go watch Peter Pan!!!!! 😂😂😂

Stick with ASE. Ive got 5k hours in ASE and 1.2k in ASA all official servers and can confirm they will never make the game as good as ASE was. ASE was a treat, Im almost jealous of the journey youll have if you do the full ASE story. The first time is a trip. ASA is a shameless attempt to cash in on the success of the IP.

I've certainly learned that Ark is best played in moderation. If you only play it you can get burnt out fast. I'm currently taking a break until Ragnarok when, and if, it comes out

2023😂😂. Man I have many multiple thousands of hours and i still go back

I was with you until you said fallout 76 was a good game. You lost all credibility at that point... ASA has lots of issues, won't argue that, and will likely tank before 1.0 but it sounds like your main problem is starting over, if that's the case the game was never for you, starting over is the best part of about Ark. Its about the climb not the summit. Its why everyone always wants more maps. I think even a 100% perfect ASA release wouldn't have appealed to you.

when you started talking about stuff like clouds... you lost me haha. i have turn those off to even play with stable frames. even a 3060 aint enough

the magic of ark fadded when we all found out the devs and the publisher abuse people in game, sell dinos, and ban people for no reason whatsoever

Oh boy, you obviously didn't play ASA much at all. To say "there's nothing new", other than it being "prettier", is just crazy. There are new dinos, there are new BETTER, simpler breeding mechanics, the new building mechanics are AWESOME, there are baby dinos that helps a beach bob get a starter dino faster, the boss fights are HELLA harder.....and I'm sure there's much more I'm not remembering. You really shouldn't make statements about things you obviously have no firsthand experience with. Gotta say, you're way off base on this statement as well.

Something that you're wrong about ASE/ASA and people "dropping off" playing ASA, it's not because the game makes them start all over. It's that ASA, in the beginning was not optimized enough for a lot of ASE player computers. Hopefully, with the Aberration update that will help a lot of people. But, saying it's because they have to start all over is so wrong. People start all over ALL THE TIME in ASE. It's a type of play through. People make series and seasons out of starting on The Island and playing all the way through to Gen 2. That's something that happens all the time. I understand, being a new player, you'd think that, because you don't want to start over on ASA Island after not even getting to finish ASE Island but for longtime players that's a totally normal thing. Another reason that player base on ASA will drop off a month or so after they release a new map is because all the seasoned players know how to play the game, they do the boss fight on the newest released map and then they have to sit around and wait for the next map to be released. Whereas with ASE, you have them all already. It's that simple.

the loot beam now became transparent, I don't know what to do now.

Ark is DEAD and DONE. The management from wildcard and Snail games has killed the game and it's too far gone now .

100 hours is nothing in ark

the only enjoyable time of fo76 was the early days when it was a beautiful mess

20k hours deep, I still play more ASE than ASA, but I don't really feel like playing either that much. ARK burned me out on video games in general tbh. I've been going outside.

I'm with you, closing in on 10k hours on this game, it's lost its spark and I have no faith in the devs. I hope they do something that brings this game back, to me at least.

Too many people expecting a engine overhaul to be a new game. What they want is Ark 2 but also they bitched for classic ark remake also and turns out maybe not really.

the magic or passion never left from me, i play daily on a private server with a group of long time friends and its always fun and awesome! and we never have crashed or any issues people complain about online, the players ruin ark

They should not have split their community. Also they never solved the problems of piller/foundation spam on pve servers.
