  • Community Crunch 144: Extinction Chronicles III!

    Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! :Jerbhi:

    Extinction Chronicles III!

    Ark_ExtinctionChronicles.png

    Tomorrow there will be a client and server side update that will bring Extinction Chronicles III to survivors on PC, Xbox, and PS4! 

    Leading up to the release of Extinction there will be monthly drops of Extinction-related Explorer Notes on The Island, Scorched Earth, and Aberration. Once collected these notes will unlock new Extinction-related skins!

    There will also be the appearance of more powerful Tek-themed Dinosaur variants within the ARKs each month. These Tek Dinos are permanent additions (meaning they will continue to spawn even after the event is over), with a new one beginning to appear each month. In Extinction Chronicles I we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Helmet and the Tek Rex. In Extinction Chronicles II we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Boots and the Tek Stego.

    And now, tomorrow we're excited to bring you three new Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Pants and a new Tek creature, the Tek Raptor!

    Mod Community Updates!

    Good day everybody! Zen here with some reminders.

    I know the devkit update hasn't hit the epic launcher yet, however the devkit update that includes TLC 2 content is available for manual install.
    So in case that information never crossed your path, you can get it from here:

    https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/modding/ark-survival-evolved/62293-6-21-ark-dev-kit-v280-0-is-now-on-google-drive

    The tutorial bounty board is starting to look pretty popular, I've already received a few submissions for things like map optimizations and chat commands, so you can look forward to a couple tutorials on that subject at the beginning of next month. If you are interested in helping make tutorials, please check out the board each month to see what bounties are available, they do have cash awards attached to them. If you are looking for some tutorials on topics for yourself but there aren't any bounties for it, you will find a form on the same page to submit a bounty request.

    This system is designed to be driven by community needs but I do need your help to know what those needs are, whether it be adding new request topics or voting on existing requests to be made into bounties.

    Enabling teleporters on aberration is quite frankly the best decision you've made for this map so far

    The Tek skins are not on PC, and they aren't just the same as the skins as they also come with the 20% higher spawns. May not be a lot but it's still different from just a skin.

    Also i'm sure most people would agree that it would make sense for them to bring out the dinos that already have tek skins first, I mean that commonsense right there. Doesn't mean that no other dino will get tek treatment in the future.

    Question, where it says you will add the Tek Raptor. it does not mention it will have a 20% higher base level. Why is that? As the Tek Stego and Rex have the 20% higher base level so why does the raptor not have it??

    The Patch Notes have been updated to include the 20%.

    I'm currently running a cross-platform server with some friends. I play on Xbox but run the server off of my PC. Its been running fine, but now this update came out and was downloaded on my Xboxs which updated the number on the main ark Xbox page to 776.0 I've checked for updates in the Microsoft store and found no updates for my PC which has the number 775.11 on the main page. Now we cant join the server from my Xbox because it says the client build doesn't match host build. Searching online it said its cause were running different versions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm going to take the assumption you're on console and not PC. So how about thinking about the PC people who've been around longer than the console players. Maybe think about the pattern, okay, tek rex, okay, tek stego. Oh, it's all the tek stuff from what console people got as extra bionic skins.

    Im having this same issue, I cant for the life of me get the game updated on play anywhere on anything besides the xbox and now I can't even play on my server. Has anyone found a solution to this? I've synced the data between Xbox and my pc but the update won't show up on my pc. I can't find any solutions anywhere and I'm getting very frustrated.

    I've been waiting for this since 1:30 pm eastern standard time, it's now nearly 10:30 pm eastern standard time and yet not a single answer for the community and the loyal players who have purchased or run their own servers, regardless of the interest on what type of servers we host or where they're from none of the pc versions are working from my knowledge. When are we going to get an answer? At least 1/3 to 1/2 of your community gamers are here, asking politely, and wondering what exactly you're doing to make up for our patience. It was a joke to have this game on full release under any circumstances with as many bugs that are detrimental toward gameplay and NOW we have to sit here without any answers as to why we can't load our servers on pc for that, xbox or ps4..... What's the deal? I think we all deserve an update of some kind toward what is happening here and why we haven't seen or heard of any results.

    Honestly if anything pc should've had the update first, what about the boss patches? Or the patches for the obelisks So the tribe and all but 2 dinos aren't left behind/all the dinos and 3 tribe members aren't left behind or what about the seizure fog on the center you can't turn off? How about giving Windows version the ability to modify the stats like you can on nitrado and steam? Nothing? Its complete garbage that you release these fun little updates but the game has been broken for so much longer and you haven't even fixed the most major of the problems, all I see is more diversion and content release
