I like this idea but the problem with it is that the resources to repair or remake that stuff would evaporate over time, like we saw with trees before the Apocalypse. For example, if you need clay to repair a decaying cistern, and there’s no clay anywhere around your village, then no more cisterns, ever.

I share your frustrations. I think Jason’s goal was for this game to be very difficult to advance in. But players being players kind of negated that, thus we had towns. That negated his vision for the game, so he gave us the trigger for a wipe, knowing it would get used, and therefore making the game hard again for everyone. His new idea about “mini apocalypses” (where Eves spawn many many tiles away from other people, forcing them to start from scratch) is a decent one, I think. It makes the game harder, while still allowing us to preserve everything we’ve done thus far server-wide. There are a couple problems with this idea though (that people have brought up elsewhere): players can still use coordinate mapping tech that allows them to find locations on the map and thus negate the purpose of Eves spawning far away. And also: the game currently resets areas that haven’t been visited by any players in some time, therefore, it would be next to impossible to establish trade routes, roads, etc, because you would never be able to find them.
And I disagree with Jason’s idea that the game had become stagnant. I still had plenty of stuff to do in towns. Plenty of people did. And those that felt bored with the game could always run out into the wilderness to start anew if they wanted.
What turned me on to this game was the permanence of your actions, if not your life. Sure, it should be hard to continue your lineage and advance society, but having to start over again and again because of unnatural game mechanics is just self-defeating.

Agreed. Getting wiped again and again isn’t fun. And as long as wipes are in the hands of players, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

But what’s the point in me or any other players creating anything if we know that at some point, we’ll just spawn a million miles away in another life and have to start all over again? I thought the whole point of this game was permanence via legacy. If there’s any sort of apocalypse, it negates all of that.

Where is this explanation??

Isn’t it waaay early for that?

You’re an Ark player, I see

I don’t think he’s going to implement it any time soon.

It could be that your computer’s graphical settings are turning off V Sync automatically, which confuses OHOL.

Are you playing on a laptop?

I get extreme frame lag when in the presence of lots of full containers around me. Everyone and everything moves in slow motion. Game is unplayable when in towns. Is there a fix for this?
