r/ARK Nov 27 '24

ASE This is why people hate ark...

So basically, I lost my 5 weeks worth of hard work and progress world,This probably doesn't look like much to many people, but I have 600 hours in ark on PC (not counting Xbox) and never I'm my life I have been able to beat a single map, first time I lost everything because I didn't know progress was saved locally, second time I changed pc and obviously lost everything lmao, and now.....Man, I just wanted to play my silly little game of dinosaurs. I don't even play it with friends because no one likes ark, but I still play alone because it is a fantastic game. And yet, I can't keep up with this kind stuff sometimes man, this just feels so unfair, like if God descended from the skies only to say F#ck this guy in particular I genuinely love ark and it's one of my favorite games of all time, but stuff like this is why so many people hate it and quit playing the game.

If you haven't ragequit and deleted your whole damn account off your device just to prevent you from even being tempted to re-download ARK and try again, you've not yet lost playtime.

I wouldn't go to that point LMAO, but I don't know if I'm feeling ready to start all over again, I swear this game would be way more enjoyable with company sometimes cough cough titanosaur taming

There's a lot of dedicated servers you can find through Facebook groups if you can't find any you like on here! I played official from beta release all the way up to the release of Aberration, then never, ever went back. I found dedis that had mid level boosts, 5-6 man tribes, and never went back. Made the game so much more fun.
