  • Community Crunch 178: Classic PvP, Patch Wednesday, Social Roundup, and Game Suggestions!

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

    Update On Classic PvP!

    It's been over a month since we launched Classic PvP and we've read a lot of feedback since launch! Today we'd like to announce upcoming changes for Classic PvP this week. 

    On Wednesday 4/24, Classic PvP will be merging all of the separated clusters into one large cluster. Our current Official PvP Network will remain unaffected. Tweaks to existing gameplay and the addition of removed content are still things that are under consideration. 

    Be sure to remove anything you have uploaded prior to Wednesday.  Merging clusters require deleting items you have may have in upload.

    Thank you for sharing your ideas and suggestions on Classic PvP! Let us know your thoughts!

    Upcoming Patch This Wednesdsay!

    We'd like to let survivors know that there is a patch coming down the pipeline this Wednesday to fix a couple of issues that popped up in the Eggcellent Adventure update. Here is a list of the changes coming to PC, Xbox, and PS4 on April 24th, 10am PST:

    When are console players getting new servers? Pc has gotten conquest and classic before we’ve gotten anything! I mean it’s been almost 11 months since we’ve gotten anything and you can see the numbers on official going down. People can’t get big on small tribes because they just get wiped right after starting. Just please give us some love... I’m pretty sure we spent 60 bucks on the game just like pc did. 

    I agree. It’s been a while. We have the same game. Paid the same money for it and dlc. Fresh servers would great.

    The last thing this game needs is another feature creep. The initial Early Access feature creep ruined the technical quality of the game to the point ARK will never be fixed without rewritting entire game's code. 

    If you plan to add new features, for sake of the game don't add such redundant things like a toilet or a camera or another useless creature. 

    Granted, it's good to see WC has bagun regular communication after so long. We will see how long it will last.

    Add flier speed level up to sp. Without it it’s near impossible to outrun wyverns on an argy or pteranodon

    Game suggestion - Fix the server stalls happening on the Official Servers.  Its really hard to play when you have server stalls happening every 5 minutes that last up to 1 minute.   Not to mention all the rubber banding introduced with the Easter Patch.

    Please address the drops on Prim Plus not spawning. I’m sick of adding everything to beaver dams and so is my community!

    How long does it take for nonactive players stuff to decay on PVE? The rendering lag is real bad.

    Can you guys maybe look into a way of making taming wild creatures on official pve a little easier?  I know flyer carry is disabled and for good reason.  But with the ever increasing amount of pillars being built around my map it's making it harder and harder to build a small, temporary, trap to safely tame a creature.  I've been entertaining the idea of being able to cryo a creature once it's unconscious, however, people would still abuse that method.  Maybe adjust the wild creatures in a way that if they were to wake up(after being knocked out, cryo'd, then un-cryo'd) they'd be set to passive wild animal to prevent people from knocking out a wild giga and letting it loose inside someones base.  It wouldn't make it a tame per say but more like a "Claimed Tame".  

    idk just an idea.  people in this game are irresponsible and will somehow find a way to grief and ruin it for everyone.  One of my favorite tames is the Tusoteuthis but it's entirely useless on official pve due to not being able to carry wild dinos.  Unofficial would be a good route to go if I really wanted to play with flyer carry enabled but it kinda kills the game for me when all the rates are jacked up.

    Building a taming raft is often a good alternative. They are also portable.

    Some suggestions for classic:

    Enable some Tek like Teleporters / Feeding Troughs /  Tek Armor / Tek Generator. Only the QoL stuff, it would make the game a lot more enjoyable.
    Enable Quetz to be tamed but disabble the Quetz platform saddle. ( Argies are a pain to duo farm with )
    Cap blueprints by rarity, As a big tribe we have all blueprints capped so no need to loot anymore. Would be nice if for example ascendant bps could have a cap of 100 instead of 75.

     

     

    No Tek on classic PvP please. Teleporters would make cave bases broken OP again like on officials. Classics is a breath of fresh air compared to cave base meta on officials.

    If on unofficial, I heard that setting the supply drops to spawn randomly fixes the issue. Not ideal but at least it’s something.

    Reduce damage from corrupted Dino’s to players structures.  They are OP and destroy metal in seconds.  It’s dumb

      second. Allow more building spots. I have found few spots that would be prime spot to build. But you don’t allow building in those spots.  For small and solo players these locations would be great. It’s a survival game make it so

      third. Start adding world bosses that randomly spawn in and just walk about waiting to be beaten. Like they do in WoW.  These weekend events are boring.  It’s just always 2x.  Make events more interactive               And make mana range damage the same as the freeze distance. This tame is pointless now

    I have put 5 of the same post but they ignore us. The y only do it for pc so content makers can have something to do new.
