      You need to put as much effort to rebuild transfer system as in making new cosmetics.
      It will save your time and ours

      #RestoreAseEvents

       

      In the meantime, ASE server admins and players can "restore" some sort of Valentine's event with this big ini entry to add Love Evolved skins, emotes and all chibis as fishing loot: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/User:Alessio89#Valentine's_Fishing

      Unfortunately,chocolate boxes and valentine candies don't work since they lack of the reference in world settings (can be spawned manually by admin using the full blueprint path though but they should vanish with a server/game restart), and hearts fishes aren't in assets any-more I fear...

      -ActiveEvent=vday can be used to re-add 2023 valentine's evo wild spawns colour palette

      alternatively, ActiveEventColors=vday can be used as well in the dynamic ini for the same result (or you can use the custom option to re-create the 2022 love evolved 3 colout palette). https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#DynamicConfig

      Wait, does that mean that the shastasaurus won't be coming with The Center ? If so that's a pretty big kick in the balls

      Hilarious Cherry Picked Stat there.  All the WIldcard Devs and anyone here has to do is look at Current Players on Steam.   You had 5k player bump as transfer opens and then as people start losing their chars you it goes BACK DOWN ot PRE TRANSFERS levels.  Hilarious honestly.  Wildcard programming is so BAD they can't even get more players AFTER TRANSFER because those people literally don't have characters anymore.  Honestly what a Joke.  WIldcard should warn people they don't care about PVP so I can get my money back or something.  Great Game Concept can't believe I wasted hundreds hours AGAIN ON THIS  GAME.  130 Char Full Note All Bosses.

      You’re only just hearing about this? It was confirmed to not be coming because people can’t raise without something similar to a maewing now without crying about it

      Still upset to see nothing of the Shasta that was supposed to be on The Center, but Gigantoraptor looks pretty cool. I’m hoping the release of the next map gets me back into ASA, I’ve hardly played it since the week it released

      On xbox/s there is a really bad bug, if i go out to just do anything and i'm away from my home then go back it does not save and I spend around 2 hours away from it averagely spend two hours and i lose all that progress.Or just in general cause i can save and quit and it does it's thing and then i get back onto the game it did not save though i saved and quit. point is it's unplayable until this bug is fixed and it happens all the time now matter what your doing.And it could be the dinos that are out but only 30 dinos are out.

       

      This bug needs to be fixed wildcard!!!!!.

      Actually, it was the difficulty of creating the dinos submarine saddle that prevented them from releasing it on time with the center map.

      That was when the game first came out in December for consoles. It's February. There's not 2.1 million playing the game. Steam charts had 13k concurrent players earlier this week.

      That 2.1 million number means nothing for the current state of the playerbase.
