Is this game worth $11? DLC?

Hey all; I’ve been looking at this game for a while now but with the good, I’ve also seen the bad. It seems like a big update just released and I’m wondering if this game is worth a base price of $11.24.
If I do get the game is there any must have dlcs? I would be playing solo and don’t want to wait for hours for something to get tamed, so hopefully you can change those settings too. This game looks like something I would like since I like games such as; Conan Exiles, Enshrouded, Valheim ect. Just wondering more so based on the bugs and such. Thanks!!!

Why are my ships (Sloop and Brigantine) so slow? What am I doing wrong?

I am under the impression I need to line the white arrow up as close as i can to the blue arrow correct? This is the closest I can currentlv get to it and as vou can see im only going 39 KTS in a Sloop.

But then i see people on YouTube doing 70 in a Brigantine. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an accelerate button or some shit?

Severe Lag near the dock on the NW teleport island - Genisis

Is anyone else experiencing severe frame drops on this dock at the NW island (16, 20)? It's where HLNA takes you if you choose the NW ocean telportation zone. I'm going from over 100fps down to 15-20 when I stand on the wooden dock. It gradually gets better the further I walk away from it.

Bonus issue: I'm also curious if anyone else has play-doh rocks everywhere? Folliage looks totally normal, but any rocks have basically no texture on them.

Specs:
9070XT
9800x3D
32GB RAM

Mod idea

Anyone thought of making a mod that limits the structures a player can build/own for a unique small tribe pvp experience?

Make it 20 + ( 5 * crafting level).

Apply this to a world with extra strong structures and indestructible metal structures.

Edit: The point of this mod is to make a PVP server combat focused not raid focused, especially for those who cant be on 24/7, without many of the issues of ORP.

Umm

There’s a level 1140 and 1050 Meg and a level 1050 Manta. My max level should be 150 I did not spawn them in. I haven’t seen any land creatures do this yet. It’s on Gen 1. This is hilarious to me but also concerning.

Why does my Dodo look like a potato?

Am I the only one whose Dodos look like this on Xbox Series X? Every other creature looks fine, but only Dodos have this weird low-detail model. I've reinstalled the game, created multiple new saves, tested with and without mods, and it's always the same. Is this a bug or does anyone know a fix?

Cyro fridge on new gennesis?

How do you craft chrome fridges on genesis? I thought I saw it in the crafting menue but now its gone. although I wont need one for another 25 days it would be helpful to know how you get one.

What does PVE mode affect for single player?

I want to turn on pve mode to get rid of cryosickness, but I don’t want it messing with my settings or my world, does it change anything other than PvP and cryopods?

Lost character

My character was in the cloud when Gen1 dropped and I was on Gen1 hours later when it rolled back. It's not on any of my regular servers and I haven't had a chance to try the official Genesis server yet.

Is there a link to the form I can fill out to recover my character? The discord message just says #unknown-channel form.

Also, are they going to restore my boss unlocks and expansion point unlocks? I was lvl 175 and if they can't fully restore it I may just ask for a refund for the dlc and call this my last Ark

Ark Asa Post Genesis Server Latency

Anyone find a fix for unofficial nitrado servers having 5 second delay after genesis? We play on astraeos, I uninstalled all mods, Dino wiped and performed multiple restarts. However, it remains unplayable. Zero latency before patch.

Nothing spawning in Genesis snow

As the title says there is nothing spawning in my snow biome. There are beavers and otters on the frozen lake and I saw ONE of those dlc rabbits in the whiteout zone...the rest is barren.

Also, in the ocean biome all the water creatures around the island I warped to are like level 450 and untamable?

What gives man?

You gotta be joking, they rolled it back to the beginning???

Bro I had to go find my character on lost colony, ran around to the nearest thing to transfer… already too late. Now I can’t get back on the server. And I had a sweeet spot… RAGE
