  • Day Zero: Server Information

    Hey, Survivors! As we enter the final hours before launch, we just wanted to get some vital information out to you! :Jerbhi:

    large.1920x1080.png.47703ab523f3d8269adf

    Day One Patch!

    The Day One patch will be set live across all platforms at approximately 8-9AM EST and should show up on all consoles within the hour. This update will include Ragnarok for console, as well as the End Boss content accessed through the Tek Cave for all platforms. 

    The update size for console will be approximately 26gb for Xbox. We do not have a number for PS4 yet, but PS4 patches are usually smaller in size due to the different method patches are submitted.

    New ARK Servers!

    The Official Server Network for PC will be going offline at 2 AM EST, and The Official Server Network for Consoles will be offline at Midnight EST. There will be at least an 8-hour blackout across all platforms where no Officials are online. After this blackout period, we will launch the new Official Servers, as well as the remaining Legacy servers. Over the course of the 24-hours following this, more servers will come online.

    For ARKs launch, we plan on providing new Official Servers for the following games mode: Regular/Vanilla, Non-TEK, Primitive+, Hardcore, Isolated Clusters, NoTaming, Extinction Servers and ORP. With the bulk of the servers being focused on the vanilla game mode (Both PVP and PVE), and smaller amounts of niche servers which could be increased based on player demand. The primitive game mode will be removed in favour of the Non-TEK Tier Servers.

    PC Asian/China Servers!

    The current Isolated PC PvP Asian Servers we have on our Official Network is hosted and provided by Snail Games. They have decided that with the launch, they will be taking down their legacy PvP Servers and relaunching them as part of the new Official Network. These servers will be included in our CrossARK Cluster, and therefore will be transferable to and from as opposed to being an isolated region. 

    ARK Legacy Save Files!

    Later this week, we will have both our PS4 and PC Legacy Save Files available to use. PS4 is expected to be here sometime tomorrow and will be accessible via hosting with Nitrado. Due to sensitive information contained in the save files, it is required to be accessed and hosted through a licensed third-party. Xbox saves will become available when rentable servers are available in September.

    It's going to be an exciting 24 hours! We hope you enjoy all the new content; we're super stoked to be launching Ragnarok on console and best of luck in the claim for land on the new servers!

    I too thought that making the save files available meant I could play on single player/privately hosted. What a heartbreak! I am sorry for your loss (hugs)

     

    And Nitrado? I dont like Nitrado, I tried them, got bad service, and moved my server over to HostHavok, good service, and later went with BluefangSolutions, also good service imo.

    Are the files also available via BlueFangSolutions or HostHavok?

    The problem I have is the half truths they have given us once again. Like they should have stated that it would only be available through renting a server with nitrado from the get go. They made it sound like we could use those save files on our own server where we didn't have to rent one.

    Official time as stated, and no servers are up. I didn't expect to see anything up instantly anyway, but still.

    10:05 Pm and servers are not live. :'(

    I assume like when they reset servers, there's that 15 minute window... but I'm having doubts that they will be up instantly. They said over the next 24 hours they will roll out servers... whatever that means. I think it means they have an extra day to figure things out and we don't have a real release time.

    The very first sentence of this thread (emphasis added): "The Day One patch will be set live across all platforms at approximately 8-9AM EST and should show up on all consoles within the hour."

    It is 8:15AM, well within their 8-9 window. If they're not up by 9AM, I'll be back with a dictionary definition of "approximately" for you confused children/whiners. The mayhem will begin shortly, don't fret.

    Please be back for your dictionary definition Durch, I can't handle this confusion.

    There's a nuance between 'putting things on hold for you' and not being supportive - to put it mildly - to people that've been supporting and helping the game the out EA for ages. A Nuance between enticing people to start from scratch and twisting peoples arms with bs like 'no tickets' etc.. coincidentally the arm with the hand that initially fed ya. 

    Reminder, they said they would give 30 days notice and out of the blue (since they never broke promises before) they didn't. 
    Reminder, they said they would axe 'some' mostly unplayed servers and that's not 'a giant list with no list of places to go' 
    etc etc ..

    Just because you don't care or care little about your dinos and base doesn't mean you should project that on people that worked long and hard on things like color/stat mutations (or how about both those on giga's, not me personally but I know people like that).. imagine having that and a short (damn feeding ugh) vacation only to find the 5 day notice. 

    That it's not your position when you don't care about your stuff doesn't mean you can't take it into account before airing sentiment of 'who cares, it's EA'

     btw..  did you ever try moving even a fraction of a base to another server, pff i've spend days moving my med base and everything useful in it once and that was still within the same server just 3/4 across the island. Not just saying they could have made that easier with at least a list of servers that will stay a longer time in advance but even if they released that list days earlier you'd have to find a plot first somewhere (good luck there already.. ), the further from obis the longer the move will take etc. heck some servers may have space deep inland but a mess of bases to navigate around first at obi, I'm glad I could move some things from the SE I'm on that will be axed to the island i'm on that won't get axed (today at least,but nobody can guarantee that won't change). 

     

    The game has been in development for over two years.

     

    People like you, have far too high of an expectation when buying games in Early Access/Game Preview. You treat it as a finished product and you have a sense of self entitlement that is off the charts. All you do is making demands for yourselves on behalf of everyone, when in truth, you only care about your own needs and wants.

     

    With 30 days to move, you have plenty of time.

     

    If this was ANY other developer, you wouldn't even get a day, you'd get nothing, except a game where 100% of the content gets wiped.

     

    Care? Why on earth would i care about stuff i've gathered, built and tamed during Alpha and Beta in a game that has been in development for the past two years and four months?

     

    Clearly you and everyone else who complain about this never bothered reading the EULA/TOS when buying the game.

     

    They are not obligated to keep any servers running, and may terminate their servers, and services, without warning.

     

    People did get a warning.

     

    Your arguments, like the rest of this vocal minority's arguments, are moot, at best.

    If the wiped servers are available only through renting a server, why was the community told they would have the ability to download and re-host the files for their own use, implying you could host them on your own private server?

    Server Saves of Deleted Servers
    We will make the save files available as soon as we can, which will likely be sometime before Saturday. We will host these files which anyone can download and then you are welcome to re-host the save file for your own use. We'll include a link to where you can download server saves in this post when they are available.

    I read through the forums a little, and the overwhelming view I've seen is that this sort of behavior is killing community trust.
