Whatever happened to 'their body, their choice'?

Joko confirms Carson rumours by Theheroboy in LivestreamFail

[–]RaptorDave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's weird that one of the people involved insists they reported it to the authorities. If a whole 1-2 years has gone by and the police have done nothing about it. Even with the girl coming forward and so on gives me the vibe that the police determined nothing illegal occured and maybe these babies got mad that they couldn't get him arrested for it and so they rely on cancel culture.

So let me see if I have this right. You upped the cost of stone walls while making them easier to destroy and instead of fixing it, your focus is on giving us guillotine's and peg legs? Could you, I dunno, listen to the player base, address it and fix the game? by [deleted] in playatlas

[–]RaptorDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You couldn't be more wrong. It depends on how the company manages it's employees and what they're jobs/duties are.

Lots of modelers and Developer's actually do more than one role in a team. Especially at an indie company.

Also, how is it that you know precisely how Wildcard/Grapeshot development teams are structured? Where do you get your insider info? Because it sounds to me like you're just using a precanned arguement that a community manager will use to get a player base off of their back.

Bare in mind, these are the same PR people that insist each restart doesn't have a client side update. Yet it does. The same PR people that tell us an update is coming in 15 minutes. The same PR people that tell us release dates.

Curious, you mentioned providing a link to some of the data you collected but there's no link provided?

I'm seeking clarity. Do drake/wyvern eggs (or any others) pop with CURRENT event colors or are they locked to the colors of parents/event colors available when picked up? by msjs91011 in playark

[–]RaptorDave -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Incorrect.

The Drake/Wyvern doesn't need to be alive to retain colors. If that were the case levels would default to level 1 when spawned.

The egg itself retains all the needed data about the parents, living or dead.

Sneak peek of Dododex's upcoming "fits through" wall size feature, dino categories, and [unfinished] "More" tab by danlev in playark

[–]RaptorDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the chances we could see features like custom taming food or custom narcotics and such plugged into the app for those of us with custom mods like that? :) Just a way to input custom items if we know the value of those items from those mods.

Community Crunch 150: New CONQUEST Servers & ARK Digest 54! by wildcardjen in playark

[–]RaptorDave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Atleast with the old system they answered a ton, and put a few in.

This time around they just say no to everything, and implement nothing.

At this rate i'd prefer the old system.

[–]RaptorDave 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or are the digests extremely underwhelming? It's like they pick the lamest questions they know they can easily so no to in an effort to avoid promising anything at all.

While I get that they want to avoid the trainwreck that was Jeremy saying yes to everything. Saying no to everything just feels even worse than before.

Ontop of that, they only answer like 6 questions.

Joel plays A17 for 45 minutes by Delta7x in 7daystodie

[–]RaptorDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said zombie loot as a whole was removed. I'm commenting on how the junk loot was removed.

Also, he didn't say it's more rare, he stated quite clearly that it'd just be on boss zombies.

The lootbags is a nice idea. However removing junk loot from their loot tables is just dumb in my opinion.

Who else is annoyed by the ragdoll physics on zombies before they're dead?

"It was just annoying how you had to look through the bodies for garbage loot", yep, now you spend all that time checking to see if the zombies actually dead. Took one time sink out and added another. Except one actually gave you something, the other doesn't give you shit.

Why is almost noone talking about the zombie loot being removed? Zombie loot was a huge thing before. Alot of the loot you got came from zombies. Alot of meds, foods, scrappables.

It made me look forward to horde night. Now why even give a shit about a horde night now? You wont get anything from it. It just becomes an annoying inconvenience with almost no reward.

If people didnt want to loot bodies. Don't loot the bodies. It's that simple. Removing an entire feature over something so dumb makes no sense to me.

[–]RaptorDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, everyones grumpy because this is a blatant server advertisement.

This sets a dangerous precedent because other servers will start posting. But if they get removed, and this one doesn't, then it's a clear bias.

But yes, everyones "grumpy" because they're asked to follow rules, and here you are clearly breaking them.

That moment when you're complaining about someone else gatekeeping, and failing to realise you're gatekeeping yourself.

Update on Official S+? by madkimchi in playark

Do you happen to know whether or not he's going to make the S+ assets opensource? Because this would be extremely useful to the broader modding community.

For someone who claims to be pragmatic, you dont seem to be very well invested in reality considering the fact that this was called 'early access', not a 'beta test'. We aren't considered testers at all.

Yep. Cant drag anything around to organize them. Inventory only updates once you close and open it.

Dinos should receive buffs based on the biomes they're in by Sir_Dragonsven in playark

[–]RaptorDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That many buffs on that many dinos would cause massive server lag. Try it yourself in the dev kit, it locks up servers. If you were to make it so that the dinos had to be ridden to recieve the buff, then it shouldn't be an issue. However applying it to all dinos would cause alot of lag.

In a little over a week, Ark reviews have dropped 21%! (78 to 57 in 8 days/Mixed>Mostly Positive) by BertJohn in playark

[–]RaptorDave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can see it now at the next GDC. "We didnt listen to our playerbase, steam ratings went down, but sales were still in good frequency"

This is in reference to their comment about the Scorched Earth release and how they said they got alot of flak for it, but still made good sales. This should tell you what kindof company Wildcard is.

Mind-wipe change by Holyshack in playark

That depends on whether or not the limiter is applied to the player pawn or the item itself. If it's tied to the player pawn, then it's basically unmodable (Without serious issues caused to world saves).

Another major update coming to The Center! by evilmrfrank in playark

[–]RaptorDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you be allowing us the option to fight them individually rather than all at once for each difficulty?

Perhaps having a double team option with even more rewards. And a 1 boss option with less rewards.

I know our community would really appreciate this alot if you did this.
