06/05/2024 update: They have just released a new $5 pay to win dino with the new center map. After charging us $40 the game, and then $40 for bobs tall tales. All while being 6 new maps behind schedule now. The new dino has pretty much no counter play, and even if someone gave you one, you cant ride it without paying up. Don't buy this game lmao.

Ya the whole reason for moving to UR5 was to improve those issues. But they went bat shit crazy with upping the graphics that they ruined any chance of ARK SA running well for large bases/PVP battles. It will take YEARs and I mean YEARS now until ARK SA can compete with ARK SE when it comes to accessibility.... ARK SE can run on a gosh darn 560 or 660 GPU, ARK SA can barely run on a 2060, let alone the 1080 they recommend on min. It's nuts. 1080 was the lowest end GPU required to play ARK SE on max graphics at 1080p, and now it's the minimum required to run ARK SA at 20FPS on low.

​​@@Alte.Kameraden Dude I can run ASE on my old MSi laptop with a 980gtx. It runs on mostly epic with a few of the expensive settings turned off. Runs flawlessly for me. It's almost hard to believe. Most of Arks problems are server, network, and port settings as it requires some knowledge and work on the client side to make the game run more reliably. Especially when playing on Unofficial servers with mods. The one problem they are yet to fix with ASA is the player cache. If you have all engrams unlocked, thousands of dinos in storage, and alot of data on your character you will get kicked from every server. Just like ASE. It's a shame.

The speed change was more than welcome. It felt really stupid seeing people outrun raptors and other predators. I'm really glad they disabled that and on dinos as well that could be easily abused.

my brother in christ, 7:10 building overhaul is one of the biggest changes in ASA. You were doing so well. You needed to try the building a little bit more. No longer do we have to make separate walls, door frame, windows, etc. Now it's all in 1. You press R to switch between them. No longer can you only pick up structures within 30s only, now it's forever. There's not many restrictions this time around. The snaps are super flexible. They even added new structures like secret walls, quarter walls, cellars, etc. Building on tree platform is actually fun now too. It's a huge overhaul. If you keep playing the game casually you'll notice this no problem.

Take a look at this vid, old bugs weren’t fixed, new bug appeard, server hosting drama. The whole selling point of ASA is graphic. I’ve encountered i chopped a tree 3 times. Usually the tree falling animation will play after you fully harvest it. But it happened for me 3 times. At first, I thought maybe the server was a lil bit laggy, but I remember i play in solo. They may have placed tree at the same spot many time. That graphics part now was counterproductive , it was too much that placing dinos will tank performance. Spoil alert Not only that, i take a look at game file, doing some data mining,… Remember the baby dinos and dinos migrate from one place to another? Yes, this problem made a loophole. It’s not bad, in fact i found these two new features are as good as the new pathfinding ai for dinos. But the baby dinos has a threshold to be spawned depending on, let’s say, number of dino pack. Like if you have a group of 3 trikes, it’s highly to spawn 1-2 baby trikes. If you have a group of 10 trikes, the baby dinos can be spawn ranged from 2-5. And that not taking into consideration of the migrating, since if 1 group of 8 migrate to 1 group of 5, the number baby dinos that can be spawned is 50% max of that new groups. The bigger picture of lacking dinos is they need to figure out what is the optimal number of plantations/vegetations that are placed in the map. That make new features work well, and not tanking performance. Looks like that spawn zone changes a lil bit, but the threshold, max creatures allowed (not counting the baby dinos and dino migrating) still as same as ASE. The new graphic is counterproductive, even for ASE. Since i give Wildcard benefit of the doubt, “the game just normal as ASE, but dino migrating make the map looks scarce”. But many ark content creator have make a tour around the map, no dinos or very little at all in the mainland, interestingly Carno Island is crowned with dinos, beach have couple of dinos too. And the difference is beach and Carno Island have very least amount of plantations/vegetations compare to big jungle/forest, also the beach is starting zone of many player. They place some dinos there but the Carno Island isn’t spawn zone, but also have very least trees/ bushes. They either didn’t test new Ark properly or just didn’t test at all and figured this problem out at very late near the day early access.

I don't think it's worth it. When they said ARK SE was going to be ported to Unreal Engine 5. I was excited because I wanted the engine improvement. Not the massive graphic overhaul. I expected the graphics would be better because of the improved engine. But when they showed the first Trailer, my heart sank to my stomach. I knew then ARK SA as I dreamed it was a pipe dream. Massive Bases, huge PVP Battles, it's all a Pipe dream now. Who can run this game and endure a huge base and PVP Battles? I doubt anyone. It's ridiculous what they did with this game. I mean we only recently in the past few years got to a point that literally anyone could play ARK SE, just ARK SE didn't like newer hardware very much, and UR5 could have fixed that. Honestly what Wildcard did here with ARK SA I think they did to justify charging players more for the game. But as a result we have a game that is now insanely inaccessible when compared to ARK SE. I call ARK SA Insanity, because I don't want to think what went on during meetings for this game. They went beyond just a port in the worst ways possible personally. I don't want the graphics, I want the other game improvements like UI/Building/Etc, but if I turn graphics down even to LOW, it will not run as well as ARK SE does on Epic on my computer, which I find insulting. The Polar OPPOSITE of what I hoped for when ARK SA was announced. I SPIT at this game. ERRR but you can just turn the graphics down, use console commands remove the sky. etc... ya but by that point the game starts looking WORSE than ARK SE, making it pointless.

If you disable some settings through using the console (such as the volumetric clouds) you'll more than double your fps. And because they use all the new UE5 engine features bigger bases won't mean lesser performance like in ASE. So if you're able to run the game well enough you'll be able to run the game well enough. The only limiting factor in having more things happening on screen will be your cpu power. Cool thing is that if you're system is really old or scrappy, you can upgrade to a new platform by going pure budget, not paying much and still being able to run ASA well.

@@DeltaNovum To be honest you'd need a bare minimum of a 4070 to run ARK SA well currently. Which isn't what I'd call budget. A 3060 isn't even budget yet because of the current pricings. Budget build is a system that you can argue is under $1000 USD, something that is a bit more expensive than a video game console but not absurdly more expensive. Though I'd argue many consider budget builds something that is comparable price wise to a console. Issue is you're not going to get a PC that runs ARK SA at this moment that is under $1000, so no, there is no budget build currently that I think can run this game reasonably. If they fix the problems I'm planning on upgrading my PC to a 4070 and 32GB of RAM. I already have a CPU Right now I'd say a budget built would be using a used 1080 on the cheap, maybe a 2060 or 2070. None of which will run this game well. 2080ti can technically run it well with the tweaks you mentioned, but if you're using console commands to fix FPS issues that's still a serious problem with the game.

But if its any important spawn points, they will not remove them because its important recourse spawn points. Although these servers take a while to find because most people just don't care and will pillar down everything so others can't play. Another about the good community servers is that they have community dino traps for everyone to use. Just remember to get good positive reputation because that will be a massive positive down the road towards many.

I am pretty much waiting for the game to either hit a better Discount due to a massive amount of issues and the overall worth dropping massively, or waiting until the game seems more stable and more Mods to make my return to it. I already kinda gave up on the game anyways due to playing it WAY too much and burning out too much to even complete a server I started on. Honestly I went over to Conan as a new game to play and I am loving it lol. P.S I am a little drowsy, so if my message is written a bit weird then that is why.

Im surprised that you can play a game in 30 fps and enjoy it, what resolution are you playing on as well?

I honestly wish they did more to change the pvp. A bunch of people in flak running at mock 10 on foot with bolas flying everywhere killed it for me. I remember when we would bring dinos to siege someone's cool fort.

So, I did this recently so idk if something changed, but I didn’t have to apply for a license to start a dedicated server. It loaded up a 70 slot server without me having to do hardly anything.

you can enable/disable the movement speed option on your world

For the sole reason that it doesnt fry your computer: yes.

I think it's important to note, despite the graphics being absolutely beautiful in comparison to ASE. Unless you are running a 4000 series you will have to tone down the graphics to a point were it's on par if not even worse to ASE with a lower frame rate. Im running the recommend hardware sepcs and can say my game looks nothing like the trailers or somw video's you see online with 4090's

i dont understand how you think 10 goblins with 200% movespeed buzzing about with bolas was good for pvp

For me besides the mov speed change, what really sucks is them getting rid of the electrical cables, sure i know when u get tek u dont need them anymore, but that was a big part of building before tek, if u didnt place your shit properly your base was gone as soon as you logged off, it made it more interesting for me as a builder.

thx for the video

In SP you can still enable the option to level speed on yourself and flyers;)

for anyone having insane fps issues this worked for me: disable everything from the rtx tab and put the resolution on 1080p or less, all resolutions above that have horrible performance issues i dont know why well i mean the performance does not scale down with the resolution but instead drops entirely also by disabling rtx features you can run some things at higher quality, in my case it did allow me to change textures from low to high and some other things to medium. Hope it helps someone oh and if someone is playing in full screen mode go and right click the exe of the game go to compatibility and enable the option "disable full screen optimization" full screen optimization is a feature of windows 10-11 that is suposed to help game performance when any game is full screen but it sucks away the life of your game making it run a lot worse, this is not only for ark btw.

one big thing is that if you didnt have all or most of the paid DLC maps before, ASA includes them all, so for me its immediately worth it because i didnt own the DLC

I just want to know If Ark SE used to work fine in my pc, Will Ark SA work as fine or better? Cause I wan´t to buy it because it includes all DLC's (wich I never bought because of their individual price) and because it should run better in UnrealEngine basically

ark is one of my favorite survival games but this needs work still so im holding off on buying it till a few more maps come out and hopefully by then somethings are a littler better for it

If you cant afford twenty bucks a month between three friends for a server, then you need to rethink your life choices.

Has the pooping mechanism changed?

finally a good fucking video that explains everything thank you

My guy....2 Things... I've seen several other content creators say you can enable the speed attribute in the server settings.... Plus, next ti the graphic overhaul, the building is one of the most revamped features of the game. Maybe building isnt that big on PvP?

It is from what I’ve seen. I’ve seen some YT videos of large tribe PVP were they had some pretty inventive bases. There was one video where they uploaded a base tour of one that was a water base using a handful of rafts as the base to build off of. It has one entry way that had one of those large roof hatchways converted into something akin to a drawbridge. Was definitely cool idea. I believe it was uploaded on Nerd Parade’s YT channel a few years back. Bear in mind they played on their own servers, so the settings were more than likely different than official’s.

I dont even need to finish tmhis ad to watch this video to find out, yes this game is worth it definitely 😂😂

I just tried SP and you can activate movement upgrade. It works fine.

No movement speed modifying is an improvement, not a downside. It punishes people for taking fights and stops rats from running up and either killing you, tranqing you, or not doing anything and running away faster than your tames. Players shouldn’t need movement speed levelled ground tames to catch players, that’s why tames exist. It’s going to emphasize players taming early on, which I think is a great option. Rats can still rat with cryopods, but they will still need tames. Tribes won’t be too affected because they’re going for those tames anyways.

“…more deformed freaks.” I’m sold.😂👍🏼

If you are really looking for a reason to go underwater, you can mine a lot more stuff with a dunk.

I like the idea of removing speed, but better would a Limit on how much speed you want to put in

Does that count with the non decried server?

i hoped they optimized this, ASE is game from 2015 but still pretty heavy even for 3000 gtx series, like wth even witcher 3 runs super smooth

Is it worth playing old Ark or did the game die after Survival Ascended came out? Survival Ascended seems so cool to me, but I have 1660s + 12600kf and I doubt that it will handle new ark

Play old ark for now. It's cheaper and more stable.

For me I would most likely buy it for the Splitscreen PC feature

When do they add wyverns?

Does the rifle still fuck up the reloading? Then you know it is still the same game code and you just traded in having lots of dinos for pretty picture mode. xD

Is this a remake of Ark survival evolved or is it the sequel from the trailer of Vin diesel?

You counted not being able to increase move speed as a pvp downside but the plot twist is that it's an improvement Also, the crashes every 20 minutes isn't ENTIRELY on the game, it's also your system/settings, i've crashes ONCE in the entire time playing

And the not access bug thing only happens once. Like you said it does have something to do with your PC or Console. When new PCs are upgraded even further and new Consoles are made better, ASA will be seen at its best.

I played ase since the beginning and in my opinion on sale its worth it but they should cut a deal for people that own the original and also give people that are from the original all of the maps that are out or owned for ase when they are released for asa as of right now i dont know if they have plans for anything like that

Photo mode and show stats are already in ark mobile

Can’t wait to see the new Alcatraz in ASA. Bob won’t know what hit ‘em. Love ya traf

"Is Ark Survival Ascended Worth It???" I can answer you that question in less then 13:53!! NO, Not only you have to rebuy whole game but also new pc just to run it, not to mentions lots of other problems! And also this is still same game, nothing new came and nothing new will come in future, after all its essentially remake!

you can turn on the ability to change movement speed.

Haven’t played ark in a few years now is ascended still as slow paced as the original

AsA is the perfect example of the saying: *_"Putting lipstick on a pig."_*

Hey does anyone know if they will release PlayStation only or Xbox only servers? I find it crazy to try to defend against big tribes from other platforms, Play Station only was tough enough with mega tribes I don't want to deal with Xbox tribes too, plus the whole have to talk in discord thing is lame to me just let my stick with party chat with my own console

i think that the game is worth if you have a very decent computer to run it and if you're not a hard online player, i kinda feel like the game is more attended to be a singleplayer/coop experience than a pvp like the previous game could have been

I played fuckin heaps of survival evolved on official servers, then switched to solo and had a WAY better time. So i'm actually excited about about a lot of these changes.

With those minimum requirements I ain't playing in 3 lifetimes bruh...

I had low expectations for this game but I am honestly impressed. It is just Ark, but better. I play with a 3060TI and I just wanted to play some single player. At first it was horrible, crashing every 10 minutes with like 20 FPS. After messing around with the graphic settings a bit, I now run the game at 80 fps and it still looks wayyy better than the old Ark and I never crash anymore. Im really happy about the amount of qol changes and the removal of the speed stat was such a great idea. Well worth the $40 for me, but I mostly enjoy single player. I have heard quite a bit of complaints about multiplayer changes.

It will be when they release all the other maps

trafalgar... law

I like playing alone (lone surivor) and I liked the 1st game so this seems like an upgrade to me

This is the first im hearing about removing run speed from the character levels and it’s making me want to give the game a shot. What a dumb balancing decision to have allowed that to begin with

@adamjenkins7653

7 ай бұрын

I liked it, but there should have been a limit to the upgrade. like Only X amount of levels can be done, so you could only go 200% or something.

The game does look great, but I just can't justify the visuals for the performance cost. There are other games out there that look amazing and run pretty well too, like Cyberpunk or Red Dead Redemption 2, and while in a lot of ways this game does look better, it does not look enough better to make up for the huge performance loss vs those other games imo. Idk if that's just Unreal 5 being too hard to run on current hardware, or just the devs poorly optimizing the game, but the problem is there regardless (I'm leaning towards bad optimization honestly, and I hope that's the case lol). Anyway, just doesn't seem worth it imo, at least not atm

Idk, they have done some pretty decent performance updates over the last few days and they've already increased the FPS by 10 for me without doing any of their major updates yet. They are releasing about 2-3 patches a day. At this rate, we'll have a performant game in a couple months maybe. Obviously, you still need a 40 series GPU to get high frames (frame gen is a massive cheat) but you can get 70fps on mid range 30 series GPUs by just playing on all low. Game STILL looks way better than ASE on low. Honestly, ASA is the best looking game I've ever played, and I've played many, MANY games over my entire life. In fact, the Epic settings are actually above our current generations of hardware. You CAN still run in on 4090s, but you have to use DLSS and Frame Gen to get to above 100fps. The raw power just isn't there. Of course, I'm talking about 4k. 2k runs really good.

does he know about the saddle durability

at least the have now recended the private machine server thing but nitrado still has the rented Monopoly

5:50 pretty sure there’s a setting where you can turn it on

speed change good, but they should increase base stamina

they made everything prettier but the things under the surface got worse. not surprising, this is how theyve handled the game since the beginning.

I think the nitrado monopoly and not being able to host your own server will kill this game quite easily

Wich i could play it without my pc getting loud
