  • Patch 255: Electrophorus, Microraptor, Ammonite, Thylacoleo, & Tek Structures!

     

    large.58b29aae77ff4_ThylacoleoPounce.jpg

    Patch 255 is another tech-focused patch introducing brand new TEK structures for Survivors to enhance their building experience, a new head and facial hair style, 30 explorer notes, plus four new creatures to discover, tame, and train as you explore the ARK.  

    With over 20 new TEK Structure pieces to play with, Survivors will be able to upgrade their bases to this new defensive tier. Similarly to the TEK released in 254, Survivors must defeat the bosses to gather the TEKnowledge necessary to use the engrams and craft the items.

    Alongside the TEK tileset, we are also introducing the TEK Forcefield. The TEK Forcefield is a large dome, adjustable in size, which is powered by Element that protects all allied creatures, structures, and players within it.  The forcefield provides great resistance to incoming attacks and prevents non-home members from entering the structure.

    large.Dossier_Ammonite.jpg

    Ammonitina Multiamicus, one of the more unique creatures of the sea, the Ammonite resembles a nautilus, but much bigger. For unknown reasons, an attack on an Ammonite brings forth the wrath of all neighboring sea creatures, who will fervently defend it. This makes it a challenge to kill one, though the rewards are often worth it - the shell itself is valuable (as it is rare) and the bile can be used to concoct a variety of poison antidotes.

    Electrophorus Beluadomito, a species of Knifefish. Electrophorus uses an electrical charge to zap its prey, bringing down smaller fish and eels. Tribes have been known to capture and tame schools of Electrophorus in order to use them for taking down larger aquatic animals.

    large.Microraptor.jpg

    large.Microraptor.jpg

    Microraptor Gnarilongus, resembling a bird with a reptilian face, the Microraptor is a vicious predator that is instantly aggressive to anything its size or smaller (including humans). Able to jump, run and do short glides, Microraptor is incredibly dangerous alone or in packs, and when trained, they can take riders right out of the battle by dismounting them and stunning them during combat.

    large.dossier_Thylacoleo.jpg

    Thylacoleo Furtimorsus, also known as the "marsupial lion", Thylacoleo is a powerful predator native to the island's redwood forests. A strong bite - the strongest of any land mammal - and bolt cutter-like teeth, make this creature a formidable ambush predator, leaping from above to crush the necks of its prey. These fearless mammals have been known to climb up Redwood trees and pounce great distances as their prey come into sight.

    im absolutely done with this mentally retarded development team, wish i never bought your damn game and wasted 4000 hours of my life playing it over and over making time i spend playing it feel more useless and useless good job destroying every blueprint of any value because your development team once again too pants on head retarded to figure out how to make the ai on bosses actually complex and refusing to ever fix major gamebreaking bugs you should be ashamed of yourselves, not to mention the nerf to blueprints is your fault in the first place for implimenting fishing and not doing a rollback your own complacency and garbage solution to fix your own complacency by nerfing them into the ground ONCE AGAIN THE COMMUNITY HAS TO TAKE ONE FOR YOUR LAZY ASSES, perhaps fix core game functionallity rather then adding lazers that take you a year and nerfing meaningful meta content over and over.

    Cooked mutton (lamb chops) takes less and tames them in a much shorter time.

    The wiki page for primal survival said it would be released this month. I knew it wasn't going to happen but I was really hoping it would. Is there a way I can get info updates on it? It's really the only part of the game that I'm interested in right now. I'm not interested in playing halo.

    im right there with you and it would be so bad if they just gave some dang updates about it...

    This patch will help a lot with cross ark raid defense. Once you find a friendly Alpha you won't have to worry as much if they have the tek structures for defense.

    No it doesn't. There's no ETA on Boss changes on the Center.

    Well in the opinion of most, fixing current issues is more beneficial for the game rather than bringing out new updates which will create further problems that will take forever to get addressed.

    The forever ongoing snowball effect.

    Are the tek engrams retroactive? Say you've beaten those specific bosses, do you have to do so again?

    I believe you'll have to beat them again to get the new Tekgrams.

    I'm going to assume some hair and facial styles got cut?

    In the patch notes it said 4 new hair and facial styles, more explorer notes.

    Actual release had one hair and facial style, 30 explorer notes.

    Just to clarify everybody's concern on Primal Survival and everybody's misunderstanding of Thier concern. First and foremost people understand that it was being delayed even before the crap way that Jen confirmed it through a Twitter reply. We didn't expect the game out last year or in February, that's just how game development works. Now why everybody keeps asking and whining is because of the lack of info on it or updates. It could be Wildcard or it could be Instinct Games, either way the lack of info and status updates is ridiculous. Last they said was a info drop about the game was to come in Jan. Did that happen? No.... Nope nope nope. They don't even have the decency to mention the delay again on here, no instead they think Jen's response on Twitter (yes response because why would they actually initiate info on it?) Is enough for people to find on their own and accept it. The level of unprofessionalism is appalling. All the fans wanted was something on it on this post since I'm looking at the calendar and this should be the last post in February. 

    I don't see anyone whining, and I barely see comments about it. Some of their staff are rude to gamers, we don't need other gamers following suit. Some people choose not to have twitter, so you're right; they do need to get their act together.
