  • Community Crunch 181: Auto-Decay Back Next Week & Social Roundup!

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

    Decay Timers Being Reinstated!

    large.Sitharias.jpg

    Just over a month ago we announced we were temporarily disabling our decay timer on our official servers.

    This was done in order to allow for our customer support to successfully reunite players with their tribes, bases, and tamed creatures after an issue caused some players characters to be deleted. Our customer support has been able to address many of these concerns that were as a result of the incident last month, and therefore we are re-enabling the decay timer Tuesday, May 21st. 

    A note for those who have not logged in recently, if a structure on your server is over the timer limit it will automatically be removed when the servers restart with this change enabled. Therefore any spam structures will be cleaned from your server immediately. If you have refreshed your base in the last ~8 days (more/less depending on structure type), your structures will be safe just as they were before the decay was enabled.

    We've read your comments and tweets about wanting decay to be re-enabled and we do appreciate your patience with us during this time.

    Social Roundup!

    The Social Roundup is geared to showing you some of the social activity you might be otherwise missing. Here we will highlight some of the posts that happened on our various social platforms. Topics might range from existing bugs to questions about events or future content. 

    ON MODS ON CONSOLE:

    When it comes to talking about mods on console this is a very hot-button topic. We know it stinks to see cool mods being developed by mod makers on PC but not being able to utilize them on Xbox or PS4. There are rare cases where mods are successfully integrated into the game such as Primitive Plus, Ragnarok, and Structures Plus, but not every mod that goes through the Sponsored Mod Program is guaranteed or even likely to be integrated into the game. It is a very lengthy process to get something from a working state into a finished product! 

    ON SPECIALIZATION OF DEVS:

    ON CHAT MODERATION:

    ON THE SUGGESTIONS FORUM:

    ON EXTRA LIFE:

    Evolution Event!

    Survivors on all platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from Friday the 17th of May at 1 PM EST until Monday the 20th 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!

    since there's no support and nobody from wc is going to care, then people definitely will be up to no good

    Legacy, more yes.

    Life is tough on Legacy, better get a helmet.

    I do not see how being called "legacy" on a live service server allows wc to go scott-free when their product facilitates discussion of illegal activities.

    no need for dark web. there's ark legacy servers

    2

    United States of Soviet Russia? People's Republic of China?

    Even if you say they have to have support because of some legality that they would respond to anyways, even then somebody could just hop onto an unofficial server which is outside of the reach of Wildcard, and talk about anything.

    could be worse. I'm not here spreading fear so lets stop at anti-western ideologies.

    yes these people can buy the game and go on unofficial and talk about all the harmful stuff, but those servers do not belong to wc.

    legacy servers still belongs to wc. do you get what I'm pushing for here? because servers belongs to them, they have a responsibility to whats going on there.

    while having a chat moderation is good, please do not forget legacy and answer tickets about people promoting hacks and treason

    Not even remotely. No more than Reddit is responsible for what the dingle-berries say on their site.

    so you're saying on reddit you can have a subreddit about how to assassinate somebody and still get away with the discussion? trade drugs? sharing research into bio-weapons? trade pedobear videos? organs?

    ok I'll tell them to go there. reddit is free unlike ark

    Can us on console get new dinos or a new map please? I can travel all of the maps now and know exactly where I am and it is getting very boring, I've gotten to the point that I'm playing fortnite more than ARK and I've tamed almost every dino In the game. Ark sucks for me now. I still play it to find new servers but I never go into singleplayer anymore

    I'm very happy the decay came back now.   There were to many spike traps left everywhere and bases that were abandoned.
