    1.5x Harvesting Rate
    1.5x Taming Rate
    1.5x EXP Rate

    Reminder: this 1.5x bonus is on top of the 2x rates that are now standard on our official servers!

    Community Contests!

    Player Procedurally Generated Maps!

    large.PGM_1_1080p.png

    The Procedurally Generated Map system allows players to make their own ARK maps by determining a myriad of landscape options from the heights of mountains, depths of valleys, and the number of lakes, rivers or oceans, to the kinds of each biome they want, and more! Let's check out the entries for this week's contest! This week's contest winner is...

    NVidia Ansel Photography Contest

    large.Ansel.jpg.683f020687f3fe873c17912d

    Super Resolution Version: http://images.nvidia.com/ansel/SuperResolution/ARK-SuperResolution1/ARK__Survival_Evolved_HighRes_2016_09_01_-_14_38_36_55.html

    ARK: Survival Evolved and the Scorched Earth Expansion Pack now include support for NVIDIA Ansel -- a revolutionary new way to capture in-game shots.  Compose shots from any position, adjust with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats, and share the screenshots in 360 via a smartphone, PC or VR headset. 

    Learn more about these features from the NVIDIA blog.

    Now let’s get to the contest!

    There were 3 potential categories for survivors to enter their shots into and they were the following:

    Three Categories

    Super Resolution: These should be taken at 8x Super Resolution. Players can optionally use Depth of Field effects accessible in Spectator mode by pressing the [Delete] key.

    Panoramic 360 Stereoscopic 3D: These should be taken at 4x Super Resolution,  in 360 Stereoscopic 3D mode. We will crop them to 2D for web display, while also providing the 3D version for viewing within VR display.

    Freeform: Any settings, whacky and creative use of Ansel filters are encouraged. Adding humorous titles/captions in Photoshop is also acceptable for this category!

    And now without further ado, here are your entries!

    You’ll want to click on the image title to be able to download the maximum size image, we’ve resized them for display purposes

    Just have one question. Will you be adding the Extinction mod by the Annunaki guys as an official mod as you guys did for the Primitive Plus? It has become extremely popular and a very big expansion of the ARK world.

    Baryonyx looks like it will be pretty cool, although I'm still most excited for the facial hair and growth system. :)

    It's quite underwhelming community crunch. Also, where is the digest you promised 2-3 weeks ago?

    This seems like pretty trivial use of your time. Don't you have anything to like... Moderate?

    Having recently started using twitter finally and looking at forums a bit more, I am surprised at all the negativity and comments staff like Jen have to deal with who have community oriented duties (and may or may not have a hand in development  side). I hope that the content we create is something the staff can really enjoy and find a sense of happiness from it all. They do this for the community but I like to think of this also as giving to them and I personally like to work extra hard with a lot of my content with the hopes for them to be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy which hopefully brings some sort of warm feeling. I don't exactly defend many things that have been said/done, but they are human and it sure can't be good for their health or help make progressive advancements towards the game, quite the opposite actually if you get an unwelcoming aura. From an observer perspective, you can't help but feel bad for them.

     

    On a side note... I need a better free video recording program. Was not aware of the stuttering halfway through my video as my screen was running decently smooth which I was impressed with. I don't know much about about video recording software, if the program is the cause or why that would happen but it bothered me a bit to see that happen after all the effort put in. 

    I hope the Wildcard staff has been enjoying my creations lately (which looks to be a yes :3 ) and you find some happiness in our content, I always hope to make your day/week.

    PS: What happened to Jat? Haven't seen him around lately.

    Here on the ARK forum if you go into Edit Profile there is only a "Playing on PC" and "Playing on Xbox" option but there is no "Playing on PS4" could you please add that?

    And could you guys make the alpha sea creatures blue, keep the alpha land carnivors red and make the (confirmed) alpha herbivores green! Just a smart detail :D

    Keep up the good work with the game

    I get so much out of these building tutorials.  I appreciate all the work that people do to bring those videos to us.

    My dream is that Wildcard adds Structures Plus to the official game. What an amazing and wonderful mod that is.
