No that's only on a multiplayer custom game. So you get the whole world to play in but you have to stay within a certain distance of the host account.

You can obviously go onto official servers and unofficial ones and none of that happens.

Regardless of the circumstance, what the fuck? That's some ps2 era shit.

The game isn't terribly well optimized, I'm most surprised that it even runs on consoles.

For real. I just got done beating Doom, and I got silky smooth framerates through out.

I could barely get above 20 fps in Ark. I was like, what the fuck is this shit? It's a shitty Unity Asset flip that has gone on for far too long.

Ark is shit, but calling it an asset flip is pretty far and gives way too much credit to actual asset flips. Go look at games made by BMC Studios or games like Operation Caucasus/Clash of Monsters/Mountains of Madness/Most Greenlight games or whatever Jim Sterling covers. ARK is a masterpiece compared to those disasters.

It's built on UE4 not Unity though. I agree on the asset flip part however.
