Does anyone have any experience with Ark Surival Evolved? I might want to try it out once I get a better PC.

I'm really sad because this makes me not be able to play. f'ing paypal and facebook.

I thought we would see a statement from MA this week and its already Thursday. Ahh well.

Gratz, that is a lot of time invested. Hope you had and have fun. I wonder how much hp those demo avatars have they use at their conventions? with 20k in every skill and 200 in attributes? I also wonder how much it would cost to have MA give you an ava with stats like that?

I hope we get some good news this week then.

TBH, I think the problem here is the US and not MindArk. But lets keep that can of worms sealed. Having an American bank account might be the best thing for MA to do. That or PayPal.

It seems they never really tried to patent it. Just filing a claim to be sure that nobody else could patent it. I'll research the schematics later when I have more time. It is quite interesting for its own reasons although it might not directly or indirectly answer the question. Yet it might...

This might be because of a trend inside the gaming community of micro transactions that might or not get you a cool item/skin/... A lot of gamers look down on it and it has been compared to gambling indeed.

Well, if you would compare hunting return logs from several players one could notice a trend. If all of them seem to dip at times one can confirm in retrospect that the "dynamics" of loot might have been set a certain way. One could notice a trend a learn something by it, or maybe not. The fun...

I did specifically state not on a individual basis. But I suggested that if deposits are down and MA's bills stay the same the money needs to come from somewhere. It is nowhere stated in the developers note that MA can't lower global loot returns to fit their needs

What is the impact of deposits on average loot return. Not on an individual basis but as a whole. Let me clarify; since PayPal is down, me and probably a lot more people can't deposit. Does this mean that loot will be adjusted downwards so that MA still receives a base amount of income to cover...

I doesn't strike as a surprise that returns become worse if so many people cannot deposit. Less money in the system and equal amount out means less return in game. In this way paypal being down affects everyone and not only the paypal users. Maybe less the paypal users since I'm not even...

This. I don't like PayPal either but MA can't ignore this payment method when doing worldwide business.

I hope PayPal will come back, else I will have to find something else to play.

Venmo is owned by PayPal. And we're still waiting for paypal to get back :(
