Well, this week we're diving deep into how you will be able to unleash your inner architect and fashionista to transform your ARK experience!

The new "Custom Cosmetic" system allows players to dynamically apply player-generated costumes to players and dinos, end-user-created skins to armors and weapons, and end-user-created skins to all the game's structures. These can have endless client-side functionality, including network messaging and limited persistent replicated data storage. For structures, this effectively enables infinite visual variety and functional enhancement through player-created cosmetics, which do not require any server-updating or loading onto the server.

• Phase 1, launching Feb 1, will require clients to manually install such Custom Cosmetic Mods in order to see and use them on Official Servers.
• Phase 2, launching April 1, will automatically download them in the background when encountered during gameplay. Note: Clients can disable usage of these globally or per-Mod-ID. Servers can disable globally or use a whitelist (we suggest servers use our official whitelist, which will be the default). The cosmetics allowed on official servers will be dynamically-white-listed on a daily basis by Overwolf and Studio Wildcard to avoid any exploity or issue-causing cosmetics.

Ok, is there some kind soul out there who could rewrite the above in plain english for this ( and no doubt other) old and maybe not so coding wise players? I read the ;last part as these will get wiped clean everyday.. not good if part of a building, will other players on the same server not be able to see what you're wearing/part of your base if they don't have that particular mod thing installed? And how are dinos actually going to work ingame in practice if say only you have one? do you receive it in a pod or do you have to catch the invisible to others one in the wild? Confused muchly after the deep dive!

 

i wonder how the save data ptb singleplayer gang is doing? with working on this issue.... and im also wondering if soon will we have more then surposely i guess 5Gb of mod storrage on console?cause im sure i ain't the only one getting the "not enough memory message" there is alot of mods that i like and wanna use but because of this i can't use and i can't even update the existing mods i already have thus... i can't play the game inless i delete some also its funny because u guys know how big maps can be and its just not feasible to download a map mod that is worth 2/3's of how much data u can use for mod storrage anyways i hope to hear about the save data issue soon and hopefully the game will actualy become playable  at this rate will it take The center to come out for the game to be finally playable? i doubt it but perhaps beyond that im glad more content is being pushed for the game but can't even use the content if the game isn't even playable or if it lacks storrage to have fun with anyways thanks for the chrunch wildcard u guys take care and stay safe.

As usual, I will ask to fix ASE events, like Grove Street Games did for the Switch version. 💖

why 1,5? on ASE it was x2 on weekend.

so no Ark this weekend we see us in Palworld 😛

 

umm ok, so 4 more days till we are supposed to have server transfers open up and they make no mention of it in this crunch?  smells fishy! I bet day b4 we get an announcement that its been postponed again!

Clean glass walls!!

Omg I can't tell you how happy this makes me, the current textures are so annoying blocking our lovely views - this makes me so happy - ty ❤️

(ty for the evo too)

Please consider changing cryo pods for PVE as it is awful in its current format, the old way was far better. Also could we have electric outlets that work like water reservoirs as there are unlit areas of my base and it's super annoying that I have to use wall lights. 🙏😁🙏

Well done wildcard you manage to split your playerbase and pretty much kill both arks at the same time,how are your decisions so bad? Heads need to roll and you need to get developers working on the game with common sense

Am I the only one who gets the feeling that WC wants mods to develop the game because they can't? the mods on the official servers are clear proof of this, with this they will no longer have to make updates on the creatures and structures on the aesthetic side since the players will take care of it. Is this just my thought or do you also have this doubt? 

Mega tribes are killing your game you need to bring new servers with 15-20 players in tribe max and no alliances

Will the cosmetic system fix the inability to consistantly save on single player?

dumb article anyways who is enjoying palworld?

Yeah ...same old rubbish...as for palworld tried it and like it..and get this although pw is in beta it runs better than ASA lmao 👍

 

We don't need these mods to change the appearance of Ark. We need Ark to run well, a console update would be nice every now and then. We need servers to run well; not constantly lagging,etc.  People are leaving for other games because your focus isn't on ASA the way it should be. Players want content and maps, not lies and the run around. The overpopulation of some servers won't matter for long, it's quickly getting too late.

Ja ... derselbe Quatsch ... wie bei Palworld habe es ausprobiert und es gefällt mir ... und hol dir das, obwohl PW in der Beta ist, läuft es besser als ASA Lmao 👍

 

on Xbox is Palworld in Gamepass,

ASA not 😛

Hello!

 

I am loving the game so far over this pas week but I would like to ask something. Will you guys ever consider adding a save option to single player games, as every time I log into my map I am anxious that it won't save or start a new map. It would be greatly appreciated and would make mine and so many others lives easier when playing single player ark!

 

Additionally, will you guys ever consider allowing us to make multiple single player saves on one map? As I would like to play non-dedicated with my friend but will not be able to do so until a second map comes, or if I delete my prior save.

 

It would be much appreciated if these were added, thank you!

I really hope when you release that payment add-on that you also think about adding option for chaning players name im tired of being called HUMANNNNN 😡😡😡😡

This is from what I heard about single-player saves,

Hope this helps.

Still waiting for someone to address the save issue in single player. Been an issue since November and every week it gets ignored. Ignored here. Ignored on the bug report forums. Ignored on every patch.

 

Fix. Your. Game.

offical is 1x always we have legacy rates atm and its really not bad

 

It’s actually 2x that’s why it doesn’t feel that bad. Day 1 legacy was originally 0.5x then new rates became 1x

10 ore fa, Ivynor ha detto:

Il sistema cosmetico risolverà l'impossibilità di salvare costantemente in modalità giocatore singolo? 

NO! ma consentirà a WC di lasciare che il moderatore sviluppi il proprio gioco, mentre WC continuerà a non gestire il single player, a non rendere stabili i server ea non aggiungere modalità di gioco come pvp hardcore e orp. Al giorno d'oggi questo gioco si basa solo sulle mod (anche se sono molto belle, elaborate e apprezzate) e non più sul gioco stesso

Hope this helps.

i've already seen this but thanks for shareing for them : )

Are you gonna make some Tek Greenhouse Walls that can function the same way (transparency on/off and one-way) for the folks who still like to play vanilla-only?

I've personally never been a fan of mods, that's why I choose to play on console in the first place. Having to rely on them for everything is bogus and largely time/space consuming.

interesting, but the date of the opening of the transfers? date of the new The Center map? Failure to meet dates is what bothers me most today, incomplete information.

Transfers is on 31/01 (Source:

The Centre is out at the end of February (Source:

Scorched Earth is out on April Fool's Day (Source:
