  • 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.

    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:

    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

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

    this could be a use for dimorphodon, you tame them, place them on your dino and they eat the little bugger.

    I made that post as a joke but that kind of sounds cool, it would be nice to see dimorphodons picking insects off sauropods or pterosaurs fishing over a lake or ocean, just visual stuff like that

    Glad to see the ARK devs take a good step towards fighting hackers. I hope BE lives up to the demands ARK will put upon it.

    As TRH said, will be an ongoing coding arms race.  Now maybe Nubsly won't have to copy his 'report hackers' post quite as often.

    The next is castoroides. The thylacoleo hasn't even been modeled yet... We have the castoroides dunkeleosteus ichthyornis electrophorus direbear and therinzinosaurs modeled.. And Lystrosaurus

    Not sure how you know all these things? A wizard perhaps? I'm however very impressed! I'm gonna go put these in chronological order and see if it gives me some sort of idea in the slightest! Even if it doesn't that will help pass the time!  Thanks bud!

    And here I was thinking Magenuras, Compys, and Titonomryas were as annoying as it could get!

    "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.

    ARK has always been about extinct creatures, not strictly prehistoric animals.  At least until the boss level where they go far beyond that.

    Our little (or rather huge) extinct leech falls into that category quite nicely.

    Can we please get a largo dino that can stomp down and flatten parts of the earth so that we have more level building options? A dino that can do light terra-forming would be great.
