ARK: Astraeos DLC

Garbage game made by even worse developers

This is a HUGE map. Very fun and rewarding.

Imagine you take a dump and someone says "please clean it" you promise to do but keep spitting, peeing, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on it. This game smells like that.

complete garbage. this map hardly runs and crashes daily. save your time and money. also, devs are complete bots with fragile egos.

I haven't really played this map but I've seen gameplay of it. All this map is is taking assets from Atlas (a pirate game similar to ARK) like the Hydra its an actual boss on Atlas. Then the grand tortugar, another stolen creature. I get the two were made by the same people, but I dont like that they are reusing assets from another game that failed and is just calling it a day. I've always hated ASA, not for its gameplay I actually really like ARK in general and its one of my most played games with 4.7k hours, but ASA is just ARK with a new engine and graphics that makes my pc run at 20fps on just the island. Thats just the start, The new creatures are good on paper (my fav being the megaraptor) and before you say "oh but you cant play it on pc" I'm playing it on xbox series S at times. But not only that but the Lost Colony skill tree teases you even when you dont own LC, plus certain creatures you gotta pay extra to use or even tame! ASA in general is just a money grabby version of ark, or if ark got taken over by EA. I used to love this game and now I dont because this game spits on its predecessor. it tried to be good with the cross platform modding but in reality its just another way to give them money

This Game and this DLC shouldnt get hate this community is killing itself Honestly the game is great this DLC is awesome amazing bosses temples and just a massive map if you get it for sale for 5 bucks and like playing Ark its a no brainer This DLC shouldnt be so reviewed so bad

Its not great value but fair if you get it for 5 dollars it is fun and runs alright

As an offical PVP and PVE server player: On pvp you will experience 300 ping on your local servers, constant mesh attempts due to no antimesh, overpopulation. On pve you will experience 200 ping on your local servers, 30 second server saves, overpopulation, barely being able to find open OSDs or element veins. Blocked OSD dino spawns (Why is this even allowed?), This map is an attempt to make every other map useless because it combines every original maps unique features. It has made every other map basically useless and has lead to hundreds of official servers being sunset (deleted) that would have otherwise had enough players to not be deleted. This map was a mistake for the official cluster all so the creator could more money. Despite all these issues and lag they will add another 20% to the map which means even more lag that the server already are not designed for.

Screw all the haters. This is my favourite map, will soon be launcing an unofficial server myself for it. The biggest complaints are on the servers themselves, not this map which has so much going for it. Doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

Don't. Just don't support these scammy developers. Paid (even p2w) DLC should be prohibited for early access games - what this game has been in for almost 3 years now, while the store page is still stating "We're expecting to be in Early Access until the end of 2024." Yeah, sure...
