The Sad Reality of ARK in 2024...

welcome back guys to a brand new video now today's video is a pretty big video that I had to make because I thought it's very important that I talk about what's going on at the moment and for 2024 because big problems are going on in Ark right now now this video is not completely a negative video or anything like that there is going to be lots of positives in here so if you are from Studio wild card and you're watching this video you know I've given you guys a lot of Support over the years and stuff so I always will look for positives in every situation if there is a positive do you know what I mean it like and there are a lot of positives here but this is a very important video to talk about the negatives as well um which is uh what's going on at the moment and I think a lot of people obviously have to see this now if you guys do enjoy today's video make sure to smash that like button if you get all the information you need to know subscribe if you want to keep up to date with all of your I mean my channel is pretty much everything Arc now it's reviews it's um comment trees it's news updates all of that stuff and that's if that's what you enjoy then uh come and join the the loaded crisis Army I don't even know what I call my Army but that that's uh that's the name of it right now um so today's video is titled the sad reality of Ark survival well just Ark in 2024 and the reason I decided to make this video is because of the most recent problems that has been going on with the official Network due to huge huge duplication glitches huge issues now also something I need to say because I can feel it coming on already is I am very unwell at the moment you probably I'm trying to not make sure you can notice um um in the in the background from my voice um but I've been getting better um I I reckon I'm like two days away from being completely fine um but I've definitely picked up something nasty over the winter holidays so uh we're getting there we're getting there so I needed to get the videos out there anyway so first thing that I talk about every single Arc commentary video on this on on something to do with uh the game is the player counts now I'm just going to give you guys an update you've seen it in many but I'm giving you an update as of the 3rd of January this is quarter well um 5:12 p.m. in the UK time uh as I said on January 3rd so Ark survival evolved is 43 um or or 43rd in the um steam player CH charts I can't even speak um with 32,000 players currently Arc survival ascended is currently 46th with 29,285 players now for a new release that for me is absolutely awful now I have heard from many people that the console side of things is doing much better than the PC the console uh Play account we can't can't actually officially see because obviously Microsoft and Sony keep that stuff to themselves but it is a multiplayer game that currently Hogwarts Legacy is one place higher than don't get me wrong no disrespect to Hogwarts Legacy I love that game so much and spent sunk so many hours into it and completed it but it's a single player game on Steam which most people tend to play a game like that on console and uh it's get it's got 500 more players on it currently that when when you compare that to a multiplayer game it's a big big problem so the whole drama that's been going on recently uh with Arc and everything is the fact that um there are huge duplication issues and there are huge problems and exploits that are literally ruin the official Network the official network over the years has had a lot of problems don't get me wrong uh on the old game um I let the arc music go on in the background but you know no one will Li that the official network has had a lot of problems over time it's really really struggled um but it got into a better place on Survival evolve things were still happening but the reason why most people were excited for ascended and I saw lots of um big PVP YouTubers making videos about is saying they're excited at the opportunity of playing a game that is going to be have improved security and not have to worry about what's going on so apparently for a couple of weeks I've heard it's been going on since December 3rd I have watched hod video H O's video great PVP YouTuber I literally watch every single one of his uploads one of definitely up there with my favorite Arc YouTuber and has been for years um talked about pretty much the the the way this duplication glitch is happening and the exploit and just talking about how this tribe has just being able to do it and destroy their server and this is happening as a worldwide thing with the game um and Studio World card came out out with with the deployment happening now we're conduct conducting a service world uh service-wide roll back on our official network of approximately 8 hours to reduce the damage caused by an exploit we will be taking enforcement action against tribes that have benefited from the exploit thank you your patience and understanding so what a lot of people are saying is that 8 hours is just not enough for the game there been going on apparently since December 3rd loads of people have benefited for it and you're not going to be able to catch every single Tri so it's pretty much like imagine um you're playing the game I mean luckily Arc isn't Esports it used to be with survival of the 50st but imagine you're playing an Esports game and it's for real money and people are have benefited from something they haven't got caught and then they end up winning against you because they've cheated um and uh it's I know this isn't Esports but to a lot of people Arc is a the you know the biggest game they dedicate their literal life to sometimes alongside work um and uh and it's it's what they enjoy doing but they sort of it's stolen from them because of the other people cheating around them so pretty much the sad reality of Ark in 2024 is the official servers are really not at a good place we're literally playing a new build of the game now it's Arc survival ascended it was to start off a new year as a fresh and the game everything everyone says the game's beautiful it's amazing it looks great even on the settings I think I'm on high settings I think or medium or high I can't even remember but even on not complete epic settings the game is still absolutely beautiful look at the ocean everything like that and that's what the game constantly gets complimented about over time because it is a lot it's really nice I have to say the mods are amazing but so for console players that is why the game is so loved because I they they finally get to enjoy what they want but that's if you're playing unofficial or single player if we're trying to play official on the game it's just not going to be it's just not going to be happening it's really you're going to bump into exploits you're going to get lose everything and I to be honest I get a lot of messages a lot of DMS on Twitter from a lot of my friends in the community literally like pouring their hearts out to me with everything they've lost and they feel like they have nowhere to go um when it comes to supporting the ticket because they don't get responses for like cuz because it's like issues being investigated Wild Card the wild card team can't respond to some of these tickets because of they you know the people higher up have told them to wait until they get the go-ahead to do so so people are literally sitting lost everything along with another roll back already at the start of the year for the game which means again there was some a message below this on Twitter saying was just finished my water base I'm done no more wasting my time on this game and it's so sad to see people putting hours into it and because of other people doing exploits in the game people who are just enjoying their time on the official servers and actually playing the game legitly are losing hours of work it's literally like doing a full day at work and then your boss coming over to you and saying uh ripping it up in front of you and saying start again uh you're starting again tomorrow oh I just found uh oh this is my old sorry this is my old Raptor from this video I made ages ago um but uh yeah so that's pretty much what it's like and uh it's it's it's pretty upsetting so the reason I wanted to make this video is what if I were to take some positive going into Argan 2024 we've got a new map on in February um we've got another new map Scorch so we got the center and Scorch uh February and March um which is great but then at the same time I'm celebrating this is something I've talked about in old video I'm celebrating about maps that should already be part of a remaster coming to the game so again oh by the way this is my first ever video that I made on Arc survival ascended like uh it never made it very far and that's just due to the issues um so yeah um I I didn't when I make these videos I never want to make complete hate videos cuz I actually am having a lot of fun on ascended but the only way I'm having that fun is by playing unofficial with my friends and even still then there is a massive save issue on the console which means someone is actually playing the game they quit off and they could spend like eight hours on the game and then they quit off and it's all gone and that type of that type of sort of problems is literally the type that stop makes someone stop playing a game for months especially when you put in hours and even when I arrive at this part of the island and I look back someone said they this was their favorite spot as well this is where I made my first ever Arc survival evolved base on the island back in 2015 and I did it with my friends I was literally 16 years old life has flown I've mentioned to you guys I'm 24 um and uh this is this brings back so many memories and I never expected to have a channel where I am now but it is a shame that I'm making a video called the sad reality of Ark in 2024 when this single spot where I'm standing right now brings me back so many memories as a child um something else that was really weird um I have to say is someone came and commented on one of my videos the other day saying oh load of Crisis I haven't seen your video since I was young um uh since I was young I just thought i' just thought I'd pop in to see how you're doing and see how the new game is thanks and I was like even I'm getting old now um but yeah life goes fast so yeah that's pretty much what I'm saying 2024 if I were to do like a little quick like uh positive and negative thing um on the game so if you're looking to play Arc in an upgraded form let's say you might be on the console um I would say right now if you're looking to play Arc in a better State on and your console player I actually recommend this game to you you have the addition of as many mods as you want when they get uploaded they have there is a lot of content coming out planned yes it is old remastered DLCs but they do have premium mods coming out and the um you you know the NR server seem to be a little bit better than um than they were I know there's still some issues um if there is any please make sure to let me know so if you're a console player I recommend ascended to you quite highly if you're on the PC I recommend the game to you but if you're someone that is looking to play official on both platforms so official side on conso is meant to be a little bit better than PC um so again on that side but if you are someone who's looking to play official on PC and you want to take this seriously I don't actually recommend it and I would probably recommend playing unofficial on the old version Survival evolved until issues get sorted even though there's no official network but you have all of the maps you have all of everything and yeah but if you're someone that just simply enjoys the beauty of the game and just has a lot of fun playing it then fair enough and that's what I'm currently doing um I I like the fact I've always had a thing in life it's really really frustrating I hate kind of hate it at the same time I always love to sort of always be in touch with new things I I kind of don't I don't mind going back and looking at old things but I get too Nostalgia I get too much Nostalgia over old things and it upsets me I I I don't know what it is it's probably a weird thing with me but I love being like ahead on new things and everything so going back to the old one would just feel weird for me but um I am at that point where I thought where I think to myself as a PC player like you know the old game runs absolutely perfectly for me I've got all the old DLCs on there I've got all the mods already cuz I you know I'm not playing on Console so there isn't too much attraction to bring me to this game apart from the beauty of it which does pull you to towards it don't get me wrong and the new dino AI is pretty cool but I don't know it's a bit of a weird situation at the moment moment I think in a year's time we're going to be in a lot of a better spot um cuz I do believe that some I do kind of believe that the game was rushed out due to that contract um and I was someone that really wanted the game just to come out but maybe when I look back at it now if that contract wasn't there and it was I just hated I just hate delays like and uh um and yeah anyway I'm going to stop talking now um you guys know where I'm coming from so I hope this sort of gives you an idea of what to expect currently in Arc in 2024 there is road maps out there there is Maps coming there is premium mods coming there is still fun to to uh to come but I wouldn't say if you're on PC right now the game if you're an official player the game isn't in its best place so yeah anyway let's hope I can make more of a positive positive video later into 2024 leave a like subscribe and I'll catch you in my next video very soon see you guys then and
