I, too bought the game. It's pretty much unplayable for me as it's completely unoptimized. Even on the lowest settings I get shit fps, however when I bought it yesterday the game has been updated 4 times since so I have faith this game is going somewhere so I'm still excited. If you check their steam forums they're very active and seem to be posting what they plan on doing that day and when patches are going to be released, very active. Watched some streamers play it, seems fun but buggy which is to be expected. Overall I hope this doesnt turn into another stomping land 2.0 or I'll hang myself.

[SirCymro_Crusader]

Stomping land got pulled from steam for scamming too many people, thank  fuck i didnt buy that.

I played for a few hours last night, managed to play everything on low/medium, but with constant FPS drops. Managed to tame my first dinosaur, then I lost it (guess it died). Otherwise it isn't too bad, havent' experienced any bugs as of yet but I only played for an hour.

Got high hopes from what I have played so far. BUT - you need a team, due to the levelling system. So if anyone wants to play just add me on steam - fieldtoby - and we can dominate a server!

[SirCymro_Crusader]

If only I had a comp that could handle it...

I want to roleplay being trapped in the Digital world with kids from camp, training my dinosaur to battle other monsters and digivolve using the power of friendship...

Basically Digimon

He mentioned digivolve in the message before that, i think you may be on the tracks of something big, i think hes bluffing!

[SirCymro_Crusader]

Really enjoying Ark so far, they keep the game up to date with a couple of small patches a day and one big update per day or two.

Got a small group gong with raptor and triceratops, raiding takes time so you have to plan everything in advance. Still a few bugs but it's shaping up to be a great game

the game is basically Rust, with dinosaurs, I shit you not. 

Spent an entire days worth of time building a nice hut, i tamed a critter, gathered resources.  Woke up the next morning, I was dead, my critter slain, half my house knocked down, and two dudes i didnt know were sleeping in my half collapsed shack wearing my clothes.  Fuck that lol.

did i mention that instead of just looting my body, while i was sleeping, they killed me, and destroyed my chests instead of taking the goods out of them, why you ask?  idk, they are fucking evil, childish.  Kind of the reason why i was never a fan of Rust, you can truly never be "safe" because some bag of dicks will come along and eventually just kill you while you sleep.

The only thing im truly peeved about throughout the experience is that they killed my Sabretooth Tiger.  I spent like 5 fucking hours taming it, go to sleep, wake up the following morning to see if it had enough food, and everything is fucking Capital R, Rekt.

Does ur stuff and houses get reset cuz of weekly patches? Then i'll pass.

The doom of Alpha Dev games.

First thing you should concentrate on is finding at least 1 reliable person to Tribe with because it makes building everything a lot easier and you can also both take different engrams to give you a lot more availability in what you can craft. Focus on getting to the level to build a wooden house, you need at least metal equipment to destroy wooden structures as far as I know and it doesn't take long to level to the point you can build the wood structures, so at least noobs wont be able to smash your stuff and you should be able to handle them if you find them trying to do so. Build it in a nicely hidden location, there are some awesome spots inside forests even not far from a coast.

Me and my Tribe have built inside a cave which is not too far from a coast and a river, have our own private hunting grounds deeper inside the cave, we hunt giant snakes, spiders and scorpions, mine metal down there and collect phat loot boxes in the caves waters. We have plenty of suits of Chitin armour from hunting in there and the creatures also carry some nice items or blueprints sometimes, it provides nice exp too, we have Pikes and can make revolvers and rifles now, they're costly to make but the ammunition is the real expense. But be careful if you do hunt in caves because each of those creatures can knock you out with its attack due to the sedation effect of its poison or whatever you want to call it. Because the hidden cave is also located in a valley inside a forest, it has two cliff faces, we have two huge wooden palisade walls either end with big dinosaur gates, we have farm plots with irrigation systems, water tanks that fill up with rain and plenty of room for our tamed Dinosaurs to chill in, even with all of that people would have trouble finding the entrance to the cave because it is literally hidden from sight. Just do your homework before you just drop your home in any old location, because it might save you a lot of time and grief.

[SirCymro_Crusader]

Leesin do you have the coordinates for that cave?

At the moment our tribe is about 5 or 6 strong, we have 5 dilos, 3 trikes, 5 raptors, 3 horse things, and a motherfucking T-rex. Its good fun with a lot of people to play with, raptors are great for getting around and defending yourself. We got attacked by 3 guys so we followed them back to their base and broke in with a trike after they killed one of our raptors. We're friendly and will only attack those who attack us but its much more fun than rust as it takes time to level everything.

if any of the NA community would like to play, we have our own server, open to the public of course.  "NA Community" is the name, of course we ban all lljk to keep up with traditions.

Meanwhile, my Ark adventures continue, a man flew in on a giant bird, wielding what at first i thought was a log, later found out was a rocket launcher.  He wanted to blow up my house for "science".

Lol, it's one of the best Early Access games I've played, probably the best Early Access Survival/FPS genre game to be honest ( obviously that's my own opinion ), they've already fixed some of the performance issues and are optimizing the game daily so hopefully it wont be too long before they reach a decent level of optimization. It's not so bad for me compared to many others but I still find myself turning certain things down/off to squeeze out more FPS. Thats its big main flaw right now, if you're on a low end/mid system you might get frustrated after buying it and having to run the game looking like N64 Turok to get an FPS over 30 lol, but they're working on optimization everyday and they're doing well.

I mostly play seriously but I do make some stupid characters, I made some guy earlier with skinny legs and a huge chest/arms/head/neck on a Hardcore server ( on Hardcore death means your character is gone forever ) and just went around trolling other people. Some guy I found with broken English who was building his thatch hut was loling at how funny I looked, but his laughter soon turned to cries of panic as I said over mic "Come at me bro, I skip leg day" and started punching him, he tried to run but I kept up with him and knocked him out, I shitted on him and took all his stuff, punched him down to 1 health and waited for him to wake up, then I just said something along the lines of "Beta scrub" and killed him with one last punch, I think he was pretty pissed he lost his character to a childish twat like me.

so i did some helpful testing for the developers and have acquired a Ark key code, anyone interested?  offers?

btw, im thoroughly enjoying the game, and the developers are quite active.  ATS also has its own server if  you are NA.
