  • Community Crunch 343: TSOTF Updates, Winter Wonderland Extension, and More!

    SOTF_Thumbnail_1920.jpg

    It's been a joy to watch the community participate in TSOTF matches this past week!  We've seen several nail-biting matches and clever uses of the new mechanics that TSOTF provides. It is a memorable experience for us to watch these high-intensity matches play out on a grand scale.  Who’d imagine we’d see little dilos, monkeys, and small creatures being mind-controlled at end-game!?  We'd also like to give a nod to the ARK content creation community for keeping our screens full of nonstop entertainment.

    Since the original launch on Friday, Dec 23rd, balance changes have been made to several creatures including Thylacoleo, Rhino, Triceratops, Carcharodontosaurus, and Dragon. Changes have also been made to C4, fire/flame weapons, and bosses in the game. Several quality-of-life improvements have been added such as keybinds, total match time remaining on the HUD, and a confirmation prompt for converting to tokens. A parachute has been added as a lootable item and some optimizations have been made to the mini map, compass, on-screen text, and in-world POI UI/HUDs.

    The patch notes thread contains the latest changes and updates for TSOTF.  Click here to download TSOTF on Steam!

    I know this is a beta or test mode you've released, guys, but all of us on console are missing out! Im on xbox and watching all the streams, chewing at the bit just to be able to participate. 

     

     

     

    Please let us use the test model too!

    I'm not sure why this has not made it into the patch notes, but the PS5 version has introduced significant graphics and performance enhancements. It's not quite there yet in terms of what they promised, but it is a markedly better experience now, so whatever they did, well done!

    "we" - speak for yourself, TSOTF is awesome, tons of fun you can just join for an hour or so when you feel like it...love it! Was pretty disappointed as an OG sotf player, but tbh the new version is great, different but so much fun!

    And as for Ark2, why do u even think it will come out on time, just chill, it will be here when it arrives, nagging in forums won't speed it up any.

    What everyone is worried about now is what Ark will be like in 2023 as we wait. If you're not going to be giving us the big seasonal color events are you at least going to be giving us weekend evo events?

    I like new TSOTF, keep up developing!

    - Leaderboards
    - lobby without customising for every match
    - other maps.. and dinos, maybe aberration?

    There's a bug with my obelisk where it says I have items uploaded when there's none and as a result I'm missing 18 item slots. Does anyone know how to fix it. My game crashed around Halloween when my obelisk was filled with Halloween items I left them there and once the update hit it had been bugged ever since does anyone know a fix please.

    If you are on PC (Steam/EGS), you can delete them and preserve the other data with the following steps:

    Except you would have to target ArkItems and/or ArkTributeItems instead. If you are on consoles, I'm not sure, but I believe you can only delete everything (worlds, profiles, etc.) in order to get rid of them, unfortunately.

    Will there still be events or support for ark still and if there is no more events or 3x stuff then if there's no more support for ark you guys should put everything on 3x full time and add the event colors from past and everything else added back in to the game other wise the game is going to be dead probably

    From now until June 2023, they are going to put out very good and highly anticipated games. Get something out of ark 2 or the Spanish-speaking community considers ark 2 forgotten. They are losing a large part of the community due to their poor communication with the community. It's not just the community crisis that matters.

    That's not funny. Give us something. Turn 3X on permanently. It's the end of the game. What would it hurt?

    It's clearly not the end of the game if they are working to put it on UE5.
