    Game Suggestion Roundup!

    Last week we introduced our new feedback section here on the forums. Here is a roundup of the current top suggestions, as well as some of our commentary on the topics for this week.  We'll comment on ideas that are trending or being upvoted but we are looking at everything internally.

    PVE AND PVP BALANCE

    We understand that PvE and PvP players experience the game in much different wasy. When designing features we look for ways to engage both audiences equally but there are times when changes may have unintended consequences for either mode. We currently offer many ways to customize ARK because we believe people should be able to experience ARK in their own way, but playing on our official network means that broader changes are made across the board. Being able to facilitate balance changes on an individual dino level is not a small undertaking. Going forward, we will keep both PvP and PvE balance in mind as we work on future content and are identifying ways to provide a unique and balanced experience for both.

    IDEAS FOR NEW CONTENT / TLC

    What a cool idea! There's so much more to explore in the ARK universe. We are excited about new content coming for ARK and look forward to sharing more information as the dust settles.  

    WIPING OFFICIAL SERVERS

    We try to avoid wipes at all cost. We realize our fans have poured many hours into their survivors and would hate for that progress to be thrown away. At the same time, we do understand the rush that players get from starting out fresh and building up. We have experimented with new game modes and different types of servers in the past and will continue to try new ideas. A widespread wipe is not something that's currently planned or being considered. If you're interested in playing on a format that wipes regularly, try out our ARKpocalypse servers! They wipe once a month.

    Mod Community Updates!

    We are happy to announce new additions to our Sponsored Mod Program roster on May 1st!

    ARK Eternal
    First up we have a mod that many have enjoyed for quite some time. ARK Eternal is a popular overhaul mod that adds new variations of creatures and ruffles the gameplay landscape of ARK, there is a lot to do in this mod and it greatly extends the progression of the game.

    ARK Settlements
    ARK Settlements is an interesting mod that aims to add city management elements to ARK. It's still in early development but shows a lot of promise. Build settlements, gathering resources, and make the ARK feel a little more alive. We believe this mod will make a great addition for singleplayer and low population servers especially.

    Dino Patrol
    Dino Patrol is a mod we've seen before. This utility mod lets you set up patrol route and procedures for your creatures. At least one of us may have used this mod to set up a dimorphodon tornado. (Yes, it was awesome ?)

    Evolution Event!

    large.large.EvoEvent.png.eeb58694dd9d4cb

    Survivors on all platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from Friday the 3rd of May at 1 PM EST until Monday the 6th of May at 3 PM EST. All Official Servers across each platform will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes:

    • 2x Harvesting Rates
    • 2x Taming Rates
    • 2x EXP Rates

    That's it for this post!

    Often these  comments get filled with people using consoles, who then complain about a industry wide problem with consoles. Mods. "We want mods" If you truly want mods play on a PC. This is one if the benefits of a PC. Consoles have benefits to using them, mods is not one of them.

    Yeah well with no roadmap for future development the console community will die off without content. So if they can't give console mods then they better be moving towards something soon or it won't matter. Even being able to edit the ini has gotten stale.

    Xbox is absolutely garbage rn. Dont show love to only pc players. We bought the game as well. Also make new servers! Duo/solo or trio, even classic pvp. Fix the game WildCard.

    Any chance of getting “fresh” servers more  regularly?  It is very hard to find a server with any land available for new players. Once a server opens, it is pillared to the nines and no one else can join unless they are ok with a 2x2 shack.

    Is anyone working on the Support division?

    My ticket is still unread and unanswered. I created it at the 24th of March!

    Since y'all stated that y'all would consider polls I think a poll should be made for each platform for an official server wipe. I also think that survival of the fittest should be brought up to date and brought to consoles. It's a great fun game but it just doesn't have any players because of the lack of updates. Would love some sort of response to see what y'all are thinking about these ideas!

    Can you make it to where the meganeura are like 5x bigger or bigger to the point to where u can tame and ride them also can you add a titanasoldier king and leech king the titanasoldier king will have a ant mound that produces sand and small amounts of cementing paste but to tame it is the same as the giant bee also the leech king will be a giant leech that has a 1% chance of giving the attacking target mega rabies none of them will be breedable but only the leech king will need saddle

    They should make the phoenix sit on the ground because it is always flying and this bothers.

    I love this game and have played 100s of hours on official and then unofficial.  But as a console player I'm hanging up my tek rifle. The lag is just too heavy and most of my friends have moved on. I would absolutely be back for an Ark2 as I feel this game has been so innovative and fun. But unfortunately, cryopods did not fix my performance issues.

    2 things Would love to see if the ants be tamable like the bees but used as a turret or a auto harvesters for farms. And would it be possible to get plants that produce rare flowers/mushrooms?

    Adding to that, they'd make so much more money by adding stuff to console. How do you get money? Hmm....oh yeah, make stuff! New stuff!

    Bloom/Lightshafts/Fov settings in console options menu please..

    you know what, i thing its so hard for wildcard, so i repeat what they said :

     

    While I agree, a S.E. ascension would be epic, I don't want anyone to get their hopes up here.  Ascension cinematics use a ton of team resources (for months) and for the company, the story is complete for S.S.  Ascension end cinematics and boss fights are amazing, but it would probably be better to invest those resources elsewhere on other content.

     

    change just for "Light, bloom and others".. so, they do nothing, game suggestion do nothing they do what they want to to do before "game suggestion"
