I really hope that fast travel is limited in some way. I don't think "you leave your inventory behind" is a good enough limiter for fast travel... you just load up a boat with extra gear and then flood people out of the boat that are fast traveling in.

I mean, fast travel where you leave your poo poo behind is basically jump clones in EVE online, and it doesn't suffer for it IMO.

Definitely, understand that you guys are disappointed right now and the frustration is justified. Our goal is to make sure that the launch goes as smoothly as possible, and for that, we needed these two extra days. I know we let you down on the communication side, and again for not delivering but we'll be working hard to make it up to you. Unfortunately, we're not able to offer pre-loading for the game, so it won't be available to download until the title has launched into Early Access.

A lot of the Grapeshot guys would like to be in here and communicating a lot more with you, but we're all working hard to get this ready to ship -- most of the folks you do see in here who type are doing so when they have a minute or two free, they tab in and respond to what they can, and then they get back to work. After we've released and made sure it's smooth sailing, we'll be a lot more communicative and iterative with you.

First Bethesda and now this... Xmas is Ruined. :boom:

Game has only been announced for two weeks and it's been delayed twice, that has to be some kind of record.

Most of you are overlooking the facts:

(1) You are a pirate
(2) The best video game of all time was delayed by literal years not just 2 days
(3) These guys made Ark:

I was excited too but they're so angry over something they haven't even paid for. At least it'll be out on the weekend? Imagine if the pirate game had sold them a slightly shittier plastic bag than the lovely bag they'd expected

Let’s see how absurd gamer outrage can get. Just keep delaying and other weird poo poo.

Purely about games though we’ve already seen the horrific depths when it comes to women and minorities.

I, for one, am outraged that this game I found this morning has been delayed for two days.

I'm going to teach them a lesson by still buying it though.

There’s a lot of weird poo poo about this ‘MMO’ to be quite honest.

They announce it two weeks before release and already delay it twice. They’re releasing it right in front of loving Christmas of all times. Just do it in January wtf.

It’s branded an MMO but has private servers?!

Its the new ark expansion but they realised they can charge full retail instead of a dlc price if they say its a new game. They probably also want to get a cash spike during this financial year.

it suffers from it as badly as you can possibly suffer from it, eve has devolved down to bloc A vs bloc B for like the last decade+

Any chance this is actually just a social experiment and there is no game?

It’s like those experiments where they offer couples therapy but they keep introducing delays and raising the ambient temperature to see how people react.

It's launching into Steam's Early Access (not the same as the "early access" you get from pre-ordering games these days,) not full commercial launch. You don't typically announce you're going to launch an early access game very long before you do it. But yes, the private server thing confuses me too. I don't understand how they'll work, but I guess they mostly allow it for mods.

I imagine you're trolling, but the game is going to be $25 at early access launch, not full retail price. During early access it will be $30. Two years+ from now it'll probably be $60. And this game does not seem like an ARK expansion at all. That's like saying Red Dead Redemption 2 is just an expansion pack of Grand Theft Auto 5.

What if i told you they misconfigured their servers, and every single server just reports the players that are online on that server, and servers are aptly named after the mapsquare they belong to :smug:

Had a look at the game map provided by PCGamer and decided to see how many re-skinned islands there were.

PCGamer says there are 7 biomes but I can only distinguish between Arctic/Tundra/Desert/Temperate from the map.
These are the islands that have had at least one re-skin.



There are also 24 (that I could find) islands without re-skins.



As you can see it's pretty heavily weighted toward temperate islands and with only 5 Arctic and 8 Tundra, anyone setting up in the northern parts of the map will have to suffer a lot of the same.

Some of the islands are also unique, I think they might be mapped out on the big one with all the zones listed, I'll check later if I can be arsed.

So, what we were able to glean from the server list, there is:

Tundra
Tropical
Temperate
High Desert
Low Desert
Equitorial

which gives us 6.

Now that we have a full resolution map, I think there is also an Ice biome that is more icy than Tundra. You can see the bottom and top row of islands are far more icier than their Tundra counterparts. That gives us 7 biomes.
