Best Game, but some issues

By cs511329 (Pcmac user)

this app is one of the best games on mobile devices, and I have spent the most time playing it by far. It is much better than a lot of open world survive games with better graphics, and far less limitations. The only problem I have it the crashes. I almost always play on multiplayer servers, and there is quite a bit of lag. One time I was doing the quest to ride around the island on a raft, but if you leave the raft the quest resets. I was two hours in and no less than a kilometer from completing the quest when I crashed. I had crashed before at a standstill and when I logged back on I was fine because I was still on the raft. This time, on the other hand, I was moving as fast as the raft could go, so when I logged back on I was no more than a couple meters off the raft, but that was all it took to make the quest reset. Two hours of progress just down the drain. Better than when I lost two months when I was wiped by the alphas...I play PVE now. I know how I’m making this sound like a horrible game, but it is truly amazing. There is nothing better than finally taming that griffin that you have been waiting for for the past two hours. All I’m saying is make sure you have some time on your hands to get into the higher levels, and don’t be afraid to lose some progress. Overall, it’s one of the best games.
Bugs need to be fixed

By ivyy 17 (Pcmac user)

I have played since beta and let me tell you the game has improved. It is a fun game when it’s working right and when your actually playing consistently online. I am rating the online version (multiplayer). Otherwise if you leave the game for a day, some dinosaurs even the dangerous ones spawn in my land and kill off some of my dinos. Also my Dino’s which you end up bonding with disappear. Another thing that really urks me and upsets me is that all my hard work that my husband and I did vanishes if my husband doesn’t log on for awhile. That needs to be changed because I log on very religiously to prevent anything to break down. I believe the leader should have all the rights of structures and anything else that was built on the land to be reset on my time of logging on, Not the person who built it. It is very frustrating and way too many glitches, just stick to single player so you don’t lose anything or any dinosaurs. Lastly, the limit cap of dinosaurs per each server should be changed to a cap for each player instead. Look I bought the PC version which is full price and yet still love playing on the mobile. If you can’t fix the mobile, I will simply delete it from my mobile device and let my other friends/family all switch to either game console or pc version and play together there. Other than that when I do log on and play with whomever and or single player it is a very fun and addicting game.
Ark Mobile Is Great But Needs To Be Fixed

By Unwithering (Pcmac user)

I really do love this game and I don’t have an Xbox, PlayStation, or PC but when I saw it on Mobile, I got really excited and downloaded it instantly. Playing it with my tribe members and friends is really great but there’s a lot of problems In the game that I believe needs to be fixed. First, my game tends to crash a lot for no reason. I can be flying in mid air and sometimes my game will crash and when I load back in, the game says that I’ve died from falling. Secondly, there’s a lot of server crashes. Me and my friends will be on discord and sometimes there’s server crashes and we all get kicked out the server at the same time. Thirdly and Lastly, I made an industrial grinder just not too long ago. I’ve seen PC and Xbox players recommend making a grinder because it helps with getting a lot of XP quickly. It took very very long to make an industrial grinders day it was very expensive since I’m a solo player but when I finally made it I was so happy I finally finished making it but when I placed it down and started to use it I got really mad and irritated. I put as much stone as possible into the grinder but I barely got XP out of it ... a whole grinder full of stone only got me 17 XP. I’ve even put ascendant tools and armor into it but I still barely get XP. I love this app but I really do hope these problems are fixed soon.
Great gameplay but needs better connection

By PleaseJustDoThisPrThat (Pcmac user)

This game is overall amazing. It has a great way to tame dinosaurs, a good way to level up and create things. It just doesn’t connect very well with servers. I have to admit I understand why, because you could be connecting to a server with someone across the world and I think that would be hard on the game. I would like to only have a limit on myself for takes and buildings instead of the whole server on multiplayer, but I haven’t had a problem with it so far so it’s okay for right now. There should be a little bit more restriction on the chat (I’m only a kid and there are some things I don’t want to hear.) but the players are usually ok. If someone is acting bad though and generally not being helpful, there should be an option to vote kick them. If all their doing is messing you up and stuff on PVE it gets really annoying. I love the tribe system, and I like how their are ranks you can be. He raptors are a little hard to tame because they zoom around you really fast, but I’m not sure if hat a glitch or it’s supposed to be like that. The engram system is nice and makes sense, because you don’t know how to make everything when you randomly are stranded on an island unless you have super powers or something. Overall, it’s a great game and it really has very good gameplay.
