  • 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!

    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?

     

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

    TBH if i get the Server Files it doesnt matter WHAT u use at host... u could use your own PC (server will just be online as long as u play. not recommended)... u could use a Server Hosting Service such as Nitrado or gamed... but since u are are unhappy with that i can recommend for you... pay money.. get a server... Host it on your own server in your own Basement or get it to an data Processing service Center!

     

    PS. what u are Complaining about is like getting a Driver License (server data). Ive got my Driver license (server data) but now i cant drive bc i dont have  a Car (Server) IVE GOT SCAMMED!

    So we were to start download between 8-9am and here it has yet to become available?  Guess I got to leave console running and let it update while off at work.  Well I am looking forward to this.  Enjoy the game you survivers.

    If you open Ark and look top of the server search window, there is an updated message saying servers will be up at 10 am EST v267.

    Regards.

    No, you misunderstood completely.  They said you could download server data, but it turns out you can't.  Instead you have to pay to rent it.

    Non tek will have firearms. Primitive does not, at least I don't think it does. Not advanced weaponry anyway i.e Sniper rifles and rocket launchers.

    Yea, primitive didn't have firearms/ ecplosives, anything ran on gas/ generators etc

    On the new servers, are we going to be able to transfer characters to other servers right away.  Just wondering - in case I don't like what I see for space and want to to try another server?

    Any news on the update.. or GB size?

    I did "start", "check for update" and its downloading a 10.103GB update. 40min left to end though... I think that's the first wave of an update.
