[Rejected] ARK Survival Evolved Server?

[Moo Moo Viking]

Good idea great game, best to start now, like was said this is not a server hop game.

Can imagine the game taking a lot of resources and probably needs a good dedi to be runned off. The game is also in it's alpha state whereas they still work on optimizing and fixing the amount of bugs they've came across. I'd say we wait until that is all done before considering opening up a server for the game.

 

My thoughts.

I'm gonna be honest, I saw some videos of people playing, while neat, I feel it has a long way to go. If it remains in an early access state for too long it may fizzle out.

I personally think it won't take too long, best devs I've ever seen: they actually care about players and update the game atleast few times a day, fixing stuff + adding

^This. For the record, probably the best dev group I've seen use the early access stuff has been Introversion with Prison Architect (http://store.steampowered.com/app/233450/). These guys were one of the first games on Early Access and they have scheduled their full release late this year. They had a game idea but didn't really have a direction for it, they used the Early Access on top of social media to get feedback from the players. I adopted on alpha 10 or 11 and with mostly regularly monthly updates they just put out alpha 33 with 34 out in the next few weeks. They squashed bugs added many features and most importantly allowed the community to help guide and direct the game. The dev team put out 30 minute videos showing what each update did and even teased what was coming down the line.

 

Updating the game a few times a day is actually really bad tbh. For me if they have to push updates everyday I don't want to have to keep downloading every time I play. Either fix it one time or accept the bug for at least a week and fix other things along the way.

I experimented with it a little bit -> last I checked (about a week ago), the server uses roughly 3~5gb of ram when the server is empty. I had plans on hosting a server for it until I saw that lol. It's extremely demanding with resources, so probably isn't really worth looking into as of now.

So we are getting a Prison Architect server now!!!!!! @SpikedRocker
