To many Bugs

Ok game but way ti many bugs. Same as PC or console basically however Dino’s glitch through walls and spikes while being randomly teleported on other side of walls or spikes when rendering. Dino’s targeting AI is wonky as all get out. Set to “passive” “Stop” Scaro, Dilo will glitch though walls or battlements to target Dino’s on other side. Flying away and coming back resulting in normally needing to re collect Dino’s from an 2x2 area… not problematic but makes it difficult to keep food stocked on some Dino’s. Gates and door will randomly not shut or open, Have had this problem for months no fix, Fly away door or gate stays open leading to finding Dino’s as-well witch is annoying. Door is set as locked aswell. Random save crashes, Once in an while, game auto saves, game will crash and will lose progress to last save. Game will also randomly crash when using sleeping bags. Have not had an issue with any other sleeping item besides sleeping bags however when going to sleep game will black screen then go to phones Home Screen. Some supply beacons around mountains mostly but has happened crops map, will spawn in the air and not reach the ground at all. I have these same issues both in my IPhone 7 and 8. However these are the problems I’ve noticed, literally everything else is absolutely amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love this game!! Have been playing for years on the Xbox with the bro never gets boring!!

Read before YOU $

So I’m in the military so some areas have no service for a long time or time to play when deployed. So I added it up I spent a little over 3.4k$ on this game an while I was away they shut done the server I was on (you would think they would save an account like that) but when I got home an tried to play my account an server was gone it took me days to try an figure out how to contact support since there is not links in the game itself (grove street games email-btw) I let them no what happened an they told me all I could get back on my account was the blue prints (arketypes) so all the gold chains, griffin crowns ,crafting stations, wall an armor mounts statues an thousands of amber was gone an they would not help get it back! They also said they try really hard to let players no before a server shuts down I ask how do you try hard when I never got an email they said they let players no in-game an on Facebook but yet if your not playing the game your not looking at there site. the game itself is good for mobile game lots of happy memories (just don’t spend unless your ok with losing it) they really need to have disclaimer on the game page so people no about keeping an eye out for when they switch servers or you will be out of luck an they won’t compensate you for anything even if you have the receipt. Gl with the game have fun (I do plan to talk to app store about this)

Great game be needs a detail boost

The details for the smaller creatures are just fine along with some medium sized creatures, but for lager creatures that detail isn’t there, if you were to compare the spino from this version to the PC you can notice a decently big difference; not very smooth and lacking details. The same can be said for the trees, weapons, structures, and saddles. The map/ground also need more details; it’s too smooth and there is no pronounced blades or grass. While this has no effect to the gameplay, it would just be a way better game for the eyes. While I do know there is a heavy restriction of detail mobile devices can handle, and the severe difference of graphics a phone can show compared to a pc, I just feel like it shouldn’t look like a game meant for the Xbox 360. Even if the graphics don’t get an upgrade I will still play. One other thing to bring up is that I feel that the default maximum tames should be more than 40, but again that is my opinion. However other that that, 10/10 would play again and again and again. To add, if at all possible, I would love to be able to play scorched earth, aberration, and any other cannon maps (I can’t remember if there are more).

Hackers make this game impossible

Ive came to the conclusion that there is little to no way possible to advance in this game without being hacked away in seconds. There is no point to play unless you like running around and grinding for hours just to have a hacker spam rocket and plant full x plants around you! This was one of my favorite games it makes me sad that its so unplayable for the average player. If i had any recommendations it would be stop worrying about other dumb stuff like where u cant and cant build and fix your hacker problem its unbearable i took a couple month break to see if the team would fix anything ,it was just even harder for regular players. Have you played your game? Or do you enjoy hacking yourself? It is very difficult to even want to spend any kind of money or time into this game especially after beating the solo game and waisting hours in multi. The only way to become advanced is to know an alpha tribe with hacks it’s honestly pretty lame considering you wont be recruited until your lvl 99 and thats if you find a cool person! Please fix this game !

This is the best game I’ve ever played but get rid of hackers

OMG I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this game is although I leave four stars it would be five if it weren’t for pvp servers and how their are so many Asian hackers going left and right. Then after they wipe the entire server with their lvl 300+ hacked tames. They make these insta kill spawn zones so nobody can respawn at all claiming the server for themselves. Their objective just to be complete dicks everything they do is just for their fun and entertainment and that’s what I hate about this game because you have done literally zero about any of this. How can you watch these servers just get stolen from players who want to enjoy the game like Jesus this game is so much fun but then 20 hackers pop on and everybody eventually bites the dust for about 2 weeks because they wipe the server and set up spawn traps so you can’t live on the server. It’s so f@$&!? annoying I swear to god if you don’t get a grip on this soon I will and it really won’t be pretty for anybody. So please all I ask is you read this and realize their are so many things going wrong in your game because people feel the need to assert dominance because they have hacks to help them do so.
