  • Community Crunch 407: Premium Mods, LiveOps Update, and more!

    welcome_crunch2023-1.png

    As we approach the June release of The Center, as well as the ongoing remaster of Aberration and the future of Bob's Tall Tales, our team remains dedicated to continually improving the live game experience. While we are excited about our upcoming projects, we are also diligently working to enhance current gameplay features and content.

    We have a major version patch in certification (this means a build has been submitted to Microsoft and Sony for testing) which will enable Premium Mods on console. Along with Premium Mods, we're looking forward to a load of fixes and some balance tweaks we've added in this patch. These include an oft requested buff to black pearls and Death Worms, a nerf to the overly excited Scorched Earth weather events, a fix for Bees, a fix for Thyla jump, Fire Wyvern breath tweaks along with general game fixes and dozens more. Hang tight, the patch should drop next week if it passes cert and get ready to dive into Premium Mods!

    In the meantime, check out all our Premium Mods coming to consoles:

        So another week's wait or more for Bees? That's ridiculous. You might aswell open transfers for Scorched since you already let people get away with transfers through exploits. 

        How is it that even basic things such as a BP rate fix or allowing bees to spawn has taken so long? You should check your reviews, the game we love is tanking.

        It hurts my brain to think about how complex this game is, the work the developers likely have to put into it to balance everything & not break other things while delivering new content. You developers are appreciated!

        Certification?! That's been the holdup this last month?! If you can't make cross platform work then maybe it's time to scrap it.

        I hope you guys are looking at UE 5.4 as it definitely seems it could benefit ASA massively.

I meam it's a funny glitch but the sliding down part made by lose a thyla to the 2nd little jump in that cave in the ruins on se instant death while climbing back up. ☠️

        Does this include fixing the 50/50 glitch, that was prevalent in the old Ark almost 9 years ago... yet somehow this still has the same issue?

        Wait... you launched Omega PVP servers? The mod isn't meant for PvP, you can literally be immune to other players. It's going to lead to so many complaints from people that think it'll be fair lol. I'll keep the popcorn handy.

         Are you serious? open servers for mods but not for ORP and HARDCORE! Ever since ASA was published we asked for it, do you prefer mod servers? do you care about your players? why did you open a suggestions section if you then ignore the 2 most voted ones?
