  • Introducing the Haementeria & BattlEye Anti-Cheat System!

    large.Dossier_Leech.jpg.0fedc14cac842f40

    Common Name: Leech
    Species: Haementeria Laetus
    Time: Holocene
    Diet: Sanguinivore
    Temperament: Passive-Aggressive

    Wild

    It is difficult to be angry with Haementeria Laetus, despite its rather terrible nature. The creature has practically no intelligence, and just attaches to any nearby living flesh in an attempt to drain that creature’s blood.

    Removing Haementeria requires precision bladework, or access to an open flame. Both of these can be dangerous to the host as to the leech itself.

    Once Haementeria attaches to a host, it drains blood at a rapid pace, and the host experiences hunger, losses of health, and lowered stamina. Some haementeria are also carriers for a dangerous disease I’ve dubbed ‘Swamp Fever’, which persists permanently beyond the leech’s own lifespan. Few creatures on the island are transmitters for this disease, and it can ultimately be cured with a rare medicine.

    Domesticated

    While Haementeria is not intelligent enough to be tamed, and does not provide a resource any tribe would need in large quantities, it is always useful to keep a few around for antidotes. When processed properly, Haementeria venom can be made into a powerful antivenin.

    BattlEye

    We are excited to announce that we have taken our stance against cheaters and hackers one step further by enabling BattlEye Anti-Cheat system on the ARK as a defense tool against cheaters!

    BattlEye will be run on all Official Servers, and the new executable to properly play on Official Servers is ShooterGame\Binaries\ShooterGame_BE.exe, which we’ve updated the Steam Launch options to include. If you choose to launch ShooterGame.exe directly, you will be redirected to ShooterGame_BE.exe if you connect to any Official Server running BattlEye. 

    If you wish to run your Unofficial Server with BattlEye, you can do so with the following launch option:

    -UseBattlEye

    We have a zero-tolerance policy for the use of 3rd party programs in ARK: Survival Evolved and will continue to work on Anti-Cheat measures to put a stop to cheating and catch those attempting to gain an unfair advantage over other survivors ;).

    All the best,

    Wildcard Jat & The ARK Survival Evolved Team

    Those things aren't leeches as much as they are monsters.

    That's not a very nice thing to say about Jack Black and Adrian Brody :(

    Is there some kind of ongoing battle between Raptors and these bloodsucking critters, such as the Leech and Salmon. Or are they just incredibly unlucky? (Referring to the last two dossiers)

    Nice work in screwing over us Mac users, wonder how many people will be wiped out before you figure out how to get them back on their servers

    At least they're not as big as the fellas in the clip below.

     

     

    Can we take a moment to just wonder how that guy managed to hit all those bugs off the other guy.

    With an assault rifle.

    And he didn't even harm the guy...?

    Well actually termites might be cooler LOL i mean termite hills on the ark.. Pretty cool. A better example would be lice. Or tapeworms stuff like that

    I agree. However, if there are Termites... That might be a pain in the butt for bases of large tribes and solo players.

    Ark devs please introduce an incubation chamber. The time it takes to raise a hatch dino baby is crazy. We should also be able to eventually splice genes and create mixed hybrid Dino's. Also would it be possible make robots that gather and feed baby Dino's or to help carry heavy items like metal. Or maybe at least a stone  wheel-barrel that can be upgraded to a metal one that can carry more weight. And Endgame content like a trailer that can be attached to Dino's like the ankyelos or deodicurus as they farm. Just an idea. And lastly a teleporter that can allow us to carry all our items with us to another Teleporter that has been built. Thanks for such an awesome game.

    I love the idea but how about it works with dinos similar to each other like a trike and a pachyrhino or trex and giganotosaurus but not something absurd like a trex and sabertooth hybrid

    The next ark update will include the super immersive ultra entertaining task of picking massive parasites of the hide of your beloved dinos xD

    There are prehistoric creatures comparable to leeches. Opabinia for example could've done the same thing. But they instead added just a basic leech from the Holocene (present day).

    I get that, but it just seems to me that we still don't know a lot about the lore of the game so who's to say it isn't something like the Predators movie and we and random other creatures were dropped on the ark to be tested and then essentially hunted(probably just tested to see how humans survive in the environment vs apex predators of the past).

    as long as I don't swair or spell the holl swair world it is not    Inappropriate Language

    Do you actually believe this? (if so how old are you?) Reporting people who "mess up" the game is good but if you are using a "inappropriate" word (even a part of it) you weren't thinking about the nice flowers growing in the Writhing Swamps were you.. its like killing someone with half a knife.. the target is still dead. I wont even mention your second post.... 

     

    But on topic xD I love these leeches :P common guys. going to the swamps if those creepy-crawlers are there waiting to hop on.. damn

    "Random other creatures" which could be prehistoric animals. There's really no excuse to put a present-day animal in this game, regardless of lore. It's advertised as a prehistoric animals game, the gameplay is built around them. There's no reason to just stick a present one in for no reason. Like I said, there are other prehistoric animals that could do the same thing as a leech.

    Ehhh I just don't find it that big of a deal, I mean at least the leech looks like it belongs. Surprised you haven't brought up the dragon, king kong, broodmother, or the dodorex if your problem is with non-prehistoric creatures being in the game. Everyone is entitled to an opinion I just wanted to better understand yours. Personally, I appreciate all the work the devs put in to the game since it is after all their job and something they obviously love to do. It just seemed kinda crappy that you dissed their work, since everyone should know by now that it is impossible to make everyone happy.

    There needs to be a special glove or tool of some kind that gathers these annoying creatures and throws them at people.

    I would love a special munition for the catapult. mouhahahaha

    Can we get the Dire Bear anytime soon!

    The model is in the Devkit so it won't be "too" long. It's not textured or anything.
