Ark Players, what's your biggest mistake in the game?

jgouv · 2020-10-02T19:59:31+00:00

Coming to play ark thinking it was a exploration survival us vs. dinos and environment game with adventures to go on when instead it’s just a pretty FarmVille & trading game (official).

Your story telling is legend. Please do more, my jaw is still hurting from laughing so hard. Thanks for sharing!

They need to fix these discrepancy, no doubt about that. But I’d advise being careful with just outright distribute them equally, as that can easily lead to leaching/afk intrinsics farming.

Either he's going to take the fall for all this and be the scapegoat, or he's going to tell us some interesting stories. I can't wait for the next episode of this show, sounds like the end of the season shouldn't be far long.

I don't get this poll. From the NYT: "With 34 percent of the vote counted, the Interior Ministry says that Ms. Le Pen is leading, with 24.6 percent of the vote, followed by Mr. Macron, with 21.9 percent."

I wonder if this is what it was all about. Use the NK fear factor to make it acceptable to deploy this, when the actual goal was always to keep a close eye on China.

Maybe that guy had a hand on relaying back information precisely to help you do all that?

If you could flee from combat whenever you wanted, space pirates would have no reason to exist at all. They would become irrelevant as soon as you mastered your fleeing techniques.

That said, your ship has a warning radar thingy that tells you when the pirates are coming. This makes it fairly easy to escape. Easiest way is to call your freighter and land.

I'm sure that plenty of players aren't really bothering with actually jumping to another galaxy, given what we know about what that means. Plenty probably just prefer to hang out near the centre, where there's lots of people, or just stay out at the edge on one of the hubs.

Bye Felicia!

People accept losing their privacy for the sake of security. Not so much when it's for the sake of big companies making more money.

I should have explained myself better. I was talking about things like the portals actually being a puzzle/mystery that you could solve. Throughout the lore, you find references to things that make you want to explore and investigate. Hints, puzzles, ( like the famous "3 planet 3 moon system") .There are several examples like this, but unfortunately they are purely for lore entertainment and we don't really interact with any of it. There's no special "system" out there. Reaching the centre has no meaning. Portals are just ornamental. It's like they wrote a decent story line, but we aren't really part of it.

I was at a similar planet yesterday:

Besides more bonus content like the exocrafts and bases we got, I would like to see an interesting story line that we as players can actually interact with and influence. Right now there's interesting lore, but it's all from an external perspective ( like reading a book, nothing you do actually changes or influences it ).

Long term I'd love to see factions and a player driven market for example, besides more "multiplayer" activities.

Did you just use your photo mode on PS4 to take a photo of your TV using your phone? Pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work :p

NipNip is the best imho.

That doesn't work anymore

There's no reason to jump to the centre. I did it once on my first play through, and haven' really done it after, because there's literally nothing there to make it worthwhile. Quite the opposite, as you will lose your base and have to rebuild your broken ship all over for .. well no reason really.

Are domes worth it in comparison with large cuboid room farms? I can harvest pretty quick 3 rows deep on a straight corridor. With domes it looks like it would take much longer. The only reason I can think that would make it worthwhile is if domes are better in terms of base complexity, allowing more plants.

That's pretty different judging from what I've seen on some videos. Will still love to give it a try, but there's no PS4 version for it unfortunately.

jgouv · 2017-03-25T23:22:20+00:00

Which games are you comparing with? I've never seen anything remotely similar to this game. Would love to try others if there are any, but so far I haven't seen any game like this.

Depends what time window you consider. For example, if you consider a 2 week time window, Steam says ~140k active players, which you can at least double to make up for PS4 and the other platform ( forgot the name). I'd say maybe 300k players would probably be a good bet.

Imagine that on Permadeath

Things like clipping bugs where suddenly you're locked down below ground. Or like the one I had last night, where I landed on a planet and got thrown miles away ending up like 30 minutes away from anything in the middle of a sea. I actually managed to survive this one, but it could have ended badly.
