"bug" fixes...

 

 

please at least consider the Spider suggestion here: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/314571-tlc-suggestions-the-creepy-crawly-edition/&tab=comments#comment-1840149

No-one ever said it will be coming in March 2018. It is expected in 2018, that's it so far.

Excuse me ?

No-one said it is expected in 2018.

It was said that extinction is expected in Spring 2018. March - June. This is why I bought the Season Pass in the first place : because extinction is supposed to come out (at max) 6 months after aberration.

Although originally the Steam store stated Spring 2018, it has for a long time, pretty much since shortly after Aberration released changed to coming 2018, as per the store page.

The crest on the Para is actually a Sonar Detector. 

Was looking forward to a parasaur visual TLC

A common question from Primitive Plus fans is about the lack of content on Scorched Earth and Aberration. For TLC Patch #2 in March, we'll finally be properly introducing the content to these maps so that Primitive fans will be able to take full advantage of the gamemode on these maps.

We are still in march for 2 and a half weeks afaik.

The only thing that would make the sarco even more cool and a little more interisting to someone like me that loves the sarco, was if they made a it have a passenger saddle, then it would be the first fast swimmer with a passenger saddle.

So.. will there be a tlc phase 3 or got we just robbed of a higly necessary Carno remake?...

This is what Jen has said regarding TLC #3 in the future.

 

Any update on play anywhere still waiting to join my server which isn't a cross play server being as the Xbox version just crashes every 10 mins 

I like, and expected this, from the Parasaur, however this seems kinda useless if the Parasaur doesn't get at least a slight speed boost. I'm satisfied with the alarm system though. I certainly prefer this to the trip wire alarm traps. I really do with that it would get a visual update, though. The Parasaur is in MAJOR need of a visual upgrade. It has one of the worst models in Ark right now; up there with the Quetzal and Megapiranha.

@Jen @Jatheish Few questions about the Parasaur:

• Is the Parasaur ability only utilized by tamed Parasaur? The clip would lead one to believe that is a wild parasaur and it is causing a wild raptor to flee.
• Will wild parasaur 'vocalizations' effect tames the same as a tamed parasaur 'vocalizations' effects wild?
• I may have missed it but is there a cool down with this 'vocalization'?
• Does the 'vocalization' have a limit to how many can be influenced by it? 
• Do the fleeing dinos travel x distance before returning or is the fleeing status time based?
• Does it cause a loss of aggro or will it still be focused on coming back after the effect wears off?
• What is the range of the 'vocalization'?
• What is the range of the 'echolocation'?
• Is there a cooldown on the 'echolocation'?
• While in turret mode is 'echolocation' able to be set to a passive ability acting like a radar and thus signalling the 'vocalization' to be triggered alerting one's owner/tribe?
• Lastly, will there be any counter to the parasaur where one will know another is using a parasaur to 'echolocate' and thus isn't hidden? Perhaps a shoulder pet able to pick up such frequencies. If I am about to walk into a trap I would like some type of balance to this new ability.

Thanks

Oh wow, didn't expect my super res to win. Does anyone know how prizes are handed out? Do I send an e-mail somewhere?

I dont know if its to late but it would be cool if raptors could pounce and attach their talons to bigger dinos too, and maybe have direction base biting where dinos can look up and attack flyers. Looking forward to things to come.

Hope the Quetzal, Titanaboa, Spider gets two different looks, Galimimus, and Megaladon are in the next TLC 3.

The Parasaurolophus update is awesome! I love the Parasaur and an super excited that it's getting some new abilities!!! Thank you so much Wildcard! You guys are awesome!!!

Would it be possible to add a Scorched Earth PVP on Prim + ?

You add the 5 maps for the NA PVE Prim Plus but we missed the scorched earth on the PVP mode.

Thanks in advance,

Silmarion

Fixed patch day mid-week, that's the best announcement of all!

Going forward, Wildcard is will be consolidating our patching process on PC. We will be leaning heavily on regular Tuesday (or Wednesday if needed) deployments unless critical fixes require patches outside of that regular patch day. These will become collective weekly bug patching updates rather than separate updates for each bug fix that in the past resulted in multiple patches a week.

After TLC #2 is released we will also be turning our focus more directly on to bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements in the weeks ahead. There are some issues that have been brought to the attention of the team by an artistic movement created to highlight the issues that affect players negatively the most. In tandem with development on TLC #2 these issues have been documented for future analysis, and after TLC #2 is released we will begin investigating and addressing these issues as one of our main focuses.

Unlikely. Not even sure if it would be legal tbh.

Does anybody noticed the way that the Raptor avoids the rock???? I feel like they improved AI a lot

Joined one of the new servers last night super excited to start building again. Within an hour all of my stuff was wiped by a wyvern flying around trolling on the new server.. transferring Dino’s across all servers was one of the biggest mistakes this game has made. It’s impossible for people to start again or new people to learn the game in pvp

Well about time they fixed up the bugs. Also I don't see any visual changes to the parasaurolphus.
