 All that is required is a simple edit of a json file, and you're good to go!

Wouldn't it be easier to use ARK Server Manager and just check a tick box and adjust a slider ?

That's a feature you can request to the developers of that app to implement. Remember, this is a third-party program that is not developed nor affiliated to WC.

This art is cute love the picture of syntac's otter winston 

 

Kind of wish y'all would actually do stuff for the switch version little bit sad I can't get chibis and stuff on there and even though I have ark for pc I haven't been able to play as I can't install it just yet.

 

And by it I mean the game period my current pc doesn't have the memory for it so I'm saving up for a better one

Does anyone know if the dodowyvern only spawns on scorched? if so rip pls let me know.

Does the x2 XP mean that XP is essentially what used to be x4?

It means XP will be x8 of 2015 rates.

Well it doesn't really make sense for them to add basilisk, reaper, mantis, bulbdog etc spawns on something like The Island.

True, its why I'm not upset about it. But for me, it still sucks. 

awesome, I can't wait.

I know last year the trees on the island had autumn leaves, will that be on all map this year or just the island?

 

The EVO event each 2 weekends is an amazing idea! Thank you for adding new colors to the event

Structure Stasis Changes
 

Quote

 

We've made some changes with a focus on improving performance. This reworks how structures are loaded/unloaded on the server. The simple idea is that fewer calculations take place at a given time with the new system so the server doesn't have to do as much. Something to note is that the performance gains are more noticeable when more active structures are present (so think really busy, large bases) and an increased number of players on a server. 

The structures are now broken up into a grid, when a player logs in they are assigned grid cells appropriate to their location, and the structures in those cells are loaded. That way not all are loaded. 

This setting is enabled by default on Official Servers, and Unofficials can now opt-into using the new system too by setting the following server parameter in their commandline:

-UseStructureStasisGrid

This will work on both PC and Console, but we highly recommend that it is not used on servers with mods, as there are some assumptions made about structures in stasis and this could cause issues with modded content, however in a future devkit update, you'll be able to opt said structures out of the system to avoid the issues.

TLDR: Predominantly busy servers with a lot of players and big bases will be seeing the most significant performance gains.

 

 

Anyone get this new Stasis change to work on Xbox/Win10 Nitrado servers?  If so what version is your server on?

EDIT:  Ok, chatted with someone at WC.  Turns out that Nitrado needs to add the setting/option for this to work.  We're asking Nitrado to add it now.

Looks like a localization/encoding bug.    

That's crazy.

when it says 'persists after fear evolved' will that mean i would finally be able to keep my zombie dodos forever

It doesn't actually say that for the Zomdodos, only the Zombie Wyverns.

Time to scroll down and see all of the complaints to damper the good news...

This event seems pretty nice, but as an offline player I feel like I'm missing out. 

IDEA: Have "Base" events for offliners that go like this... My ARK is updated to the point of Fear Evolved 3, and let's call that the "Base"- until I update it to fear evolved 4. Basically meaning that I can play the LAST UPDATED event if I'm unable to play this year's.

Think about it

Are the new spooky dinos tameable? If so will any tamed spooky dino despawn when the event ends?

I hope the event and the colorfull Dinos comes to Primitive+ servers !!! PLEASE !!!

No fear evolved trailer this year? Man i always love watching them! Please make one.

Dunno, I was kind of looking forward to a 2x harvesting rate boost honestly, Crystal isles is still fairly dismal for Element Shard farming, but that's simply what *I* had hoped. Other than that, the event looks great, the Crunch was spectacular, and I'm excited! And yes, I know they already doubled it, but when it takes you an hour to come up with 100 element in farming, it's almost soul sucking boring and often times everyone else is out there farming it as well, meaning less to take back to base.  lol.

We recently got a permanent doubling of rates and youre still complaining? I think you need to play an unofficial server man. The rates are currently 4x what they were when the game released in 2015.

You can enable any event on singleplayer with the use of "-ActiveEvent=" in the launch options. (Available only on the Steam/Epic Games Store version)

That's the problem- I refuse to use cheats.

I once had a world where I constantly used cheats, and I eventually deleted it because I actually felt pretty bad and they took out all of the fun.

AAAND I'm a console player. Just seems like a QoL thing that should be fixed in my OP.
