Survival Evolved Servers Are Getting Wiped After All. Remember when Studio Wildcard said it was going to wipe the Ark: Survival Evolved servers prior to launch, and then it said it wouldn’t? Well, now it’s going to wipe some of them—and it’s withdrawing customer support for surviving servers after the retail version hits August 2. Is your head spinning yet? It seems like it’s just another day, another bout of questionable decision- making and avoidable controversy from Ark: Survival Evolved developer Wildcard.

Following last year’s paid- for early access DLC kerfuffle, Ark’s recent 1. U- turn of 2. 01. Part of the announcement, at least, isn’t a complete surprise. During the recent server wipe flip- flop fiasco in which Wildcard first promised players that it wouldn’t wipe the servers prior to launch, then told the press that it would, then changed its mind again 2. Wildcard noted that it may still wipe underpopulated servers in the future. In June, Wildcard told players that it would “keep existing active Official Servers as they are post- ship — no wipe — though at ship we may at our discretion re- purpose certain empty or near- empty Official Servers with 1 month prior warning.”True to at least some of its word, Wildcard has posted a list of 4. PC, Xbox, and PS4 servers that will soon be getting the chop.

Elaborating on the studio’s criteria for deletion, community manager wildcardjen explained on Reddit: “PC servers that were chosen average 5 or less active users. Xbox and PS4 had some average 6- 7 users, while some servers operated at near zero players for significant periods of times.”All servers earmarked for removal will meet their end on Saturday, August 2.

That’s significantly less notice than the previously touted one- month advanced warning. As such, affected players only have a tiny window in which to migrate their characters and creatures to a surviving server. It took longer than we’d anticipated in order to determine how many new physical servers we’d be able to purchase at the various data centers we use, which ended up being less than we’d hoped we were able to procure in time for launch,” Wildcard told Kotaku.

The news that’s most troubled long- time players however is that all surviving servers—henceforth known as “Legacy” servers, to distinguish them from the incoming new server cluster—will no longer be eligible for customer support. In other words, if you don’t move to the new server cluster and forfeit everything you’ve achieved so far, you won’t get help if something goes cataclysmically wrong in the future.“When the current servers become Legacy servers on the 2.

Customer Support to these Legacy servers,” Wildcard explained in its official statement. All outstanding tickets to our Customer Support team will be wiped clean on launch day, and no future tickets submitted by those playing on Legacy servers will be accepted. Going forward our Customer Support team will be focused on assisting those present on the new cluster, which will not be plagued by many of the issues that occurred during the Early Access process. Unfortunately it is beyond the scope of our operation to continue to offer support on Legacy servers at this time.”The response on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and the official Ark forum has, understandably, been overwhelmingly negative.

Over on the official Ark forums, user Nokosa posted, “So we supported you for years but now you won’t support us? Watch Jack And The Beanstalk: The Real Story Online. The people who helped you better the game? Tell me why I should continue playing.” User Dreyd. Wow, I can’t believe they will no longer be offering customer support to Legacy servers.

We helped BUILD this player base and your game and you are going to shaft us like that? That is pretty messed up to be honest.

Shame on you Ark.”The comparatively good news, however, is that Wildcard has pledged technical support for Legacy servers. Not for gameplay issues as those servers have been dupe- ridden,” Wildcard told Kotaku, “but definitely for technical aspects.

We’ll monitor them and address any functional issues should they arise, such as keeping them running properly, and keeping them fully updated.”Thankfully, players affected by the newly announced server deletions will at least be able to download server saves so that they can re- host their game elsewhere and continue on in perpetuity if they so chose. These saves will likely become available to download “sometime before Saturday,” says Wildcard.

ARK: Survival Evolved for Play. Station 4 Reviews. Do not buy this game until they fix it! This is a No Mans Sky mk 2 but worse. I couldn't stand by and let another gamer be caught out by another broken game like this one that I just had to set up this account to express my disbelief at how badly this game runs on the PS4.

Yes it has potential and I wish it truely worked but the game is broken at the time of writing this and yes! Sony's shadey way of keeping your money because of their self set rules of digital content is disgraceful.

Which are null and void in the UK if the content is faulty). Watch Wendy And Lucy Online Forbes. You cant play on the original Ark world as server support is limited so half of the game you cant even play with other people because they are always full. So in effect you are forced to purchase the the dlc as well if you want to play online and enjoy the game in any way (thats if you can get over the various game crashes). The only problem with the dlc is that the scorched earth map is MUCH! I mention you cant invite your friends online?

Fine I accept its a learning process and 'get gud' and all but this is a poor port of a game and should not be on Sony's shelf with the state it's in. Forget about setting a private server up and play with your friends, if the freezing of the game just by sending an invite wont stop you, the constant NAT types issues that the developers havent fixed for the last few weeks will stop you. All my friends who were excited to play this said it was broken and got their refunds, so am I and you should avoid it for at least a year.
