  • Patch 278: TLC Pass 1, Valentine's Day, TLC Phase 2 Preview, Great Migration #2, & Community Crunch 118!

    Patch v278 finds its way hopping onto the ARK with many new features, fixes, and a bunch of tender loving care for some old friends! The Rex, Procoptodon, Gigantopithecus, Direwolf, and Direbear all find themselves receiving both gameplay and visual upgrades! 

    Here's a breakdown of the five creatures that have been updated in this TLC pass.

    - Will take reduced fall damage
    - Carry weight will be noticeably increased
    - Can carry small creatures and baby dinos in its pouch
    - A knockback kick which can affect significantly larger dinos
    - Added an aimed jump which can be used by holding down the Jump key

    Dino TLC - The Gigantopithecus A.K.A Bigfoot!

    - Receives a model update, animation update, new fur, sound pass and some new abilities:
    - The Bigfoot will receive an armour-degrading attack; this means when it fights, it'll do more damage to your armour's durability. It is important to note that the armour-degrading attack will not affect the Yeti creatures found in the game.
    - Added the capability to climb ziplines (but not jump between them)
    - Added a jump
    - It can now carry and throw small creatures
    - Throwing has been made more accurate, similarly to crabs with targetting cursor

    Dino TLC - The Direbear!

    - Receives a model update, animation update, new fur and some new abilities:
    - When riding a Direbear, players will be immune to bees. They won't be able to knock you off your bear, and they will target focus the bear instead of the player.
    - The Direbear will also be able to harvest honey from wild beehives without attracting bees or hurting the hive using it's alternative attack. Plus the amount of honey it receives will be 3x the standard amount.
    - Increased swim speed

    large.Dossier_DireWolf.jpg

    Dino TLC - The Direwolf!

    - Receives a model update, animation update, new fur and some new abilities:
    - Howl now activates a pack buff for 90 seconds (with a 1.5 minute cooldown). When the Alpha howls, the pack also howls. The pack buff strengthens the Alpha, as well as its pack (reduced amount vs Alpha)
    - Hunter's Instinct passive buff which will allow it to sniff out people/creatures with less than 50% health
    - Sniff tertiary ability to indicate nearby explorer notes, or to detect buried/stealth creatures

    large.1.jpg

    large.Dossier_Rex.jpg

    Dino TLC - The Rex!

    - Receives a model update, animation update,  and some new abilities:
    - Its roar should receive a CD and make non-allies (under a certain dragweight) poop to act as a small stun/interrupt. There will be a cooldown on victims so that they cannot be pooplocked continuously.
    - The roar will not be able to scare anything above its level
    - Roar will cause players to poop but not stun them
    - Rex's ability to climb over small rocks and steeper slopes have been improved.

    Patch Notes for v278!

    On top of the TLC pass, we also have a ton of tweaks and fixes in patch v278. The list is long, so buckle up!

    On the 10th of February, turrets will be hard-number limited to 100. This means that you will not be able to build over 100 turrets within a 10k unit radius, however existing set-ups with over 100 turrets will still function as normal until the 18th of February when we will enable the hard limit, which will retroactively disable (randomly selected) turrets that are over the 100 limit from functioning. Here's the patch note for the turret changes when they land on the 18th:

    Quote

    - You can now enable the retroactive turret hard limit by enabling this setting in your game.ini under ShooterGameMode:

    bHardLimitTurretsInRange=True

    This will work on autoturrets, heavy turrets, tek turrets, plant turrets and is no longer map specific. The hard limit calculation is done on start-up, so if your turrets are ever over the limit, they will be randomly shut-off until you're under the limit. In order to restore shut off turrets, you must pick up any which exceed the number, as well as shut-off turrets and replace them in order for them to work.

    TLC Phase 2 Preview!

    large.Sarco.jpg.4f6af5ed05f9e1dc98adbfb5

    Introducing -- The Sarcosuchus! The Sarco has been an often requested creature to receive a TLC pass. One of the earlier creatures added to the game, over time it has become over shadowed by other predators. On top of its visual update, the Sarco will also be receiving new abilities to better keep it in line with the other carnivorous creatures of the ARK.

    The Sarco will be given three new attacks:

    • A grab and roll attack, also known as a Death Roll. With smaller creatures the Sarco will be able to grab and roll with them in its mouth while with larger creature it will grab on and spin aggressively. 
    • A 180 degree attack wherein it can attack something directly behind itself by swinging it's body around and biting behind itself. 
    • A short lunge attack where it'll be able to lunge forward to take its prey by surprise. 

    Sarcos are natural deterrents for Piranha's making them valuable partners when travelling through waterways and swamps. The Sarco will also prefer fish meats over regular meat for taming, and when idle will rest with its mouth open in a permanent toothy-grin.

    Please remember that creatures showcased for upcoming TLC are still works-in-progress and are therefore subject to change before final release, which includes both visual redesigns, as well as gameplay changes.

    large.ARK-Primitive-Plus-Logo.jpg.5a157b

    A common question from Primitive Plus fans is about the lack of content on Scorched Earth and Aberration. For TLC Patch #2 in March, we'll finally be properly introducing the content to these maps so that Primitive fans will be able to take full advantage of the gamemode on these maps.

    The Great Migration #2!

    large.594ef828430a1_F1r3fly-MigratingtoR

    Today we will be beginning the process of removing our lower population LEGACY ARK servers on PC, Xbox, and PS4 from our Official LEGACY network once again. Over time the ARK population has migrated from legacy to non-legacy and in its wake left many servers with low populations for 0-1 players in a significant amount of cases. In addition to taking down these underutilised servers we will also be putting up new servers onto the non-legacy network across all platforms for players to enjoy a fresh start on their favourite map.

    Here is a quick breakdown on how this process will work:

    Taking Down Low Pop Servers
    With calculations based on sustained player-count as well as popularity of game mode we will be removing the lower 40% of legacy servers, most of which retain a 0-1 player concurrent population. These servers will be taken offline and some will be re-purposed for new, fresh servers that will be put up on March 9th. Any existing server that is not considered a low pop server and is not taken down will still exist on the Legacy network.

    Legacy servers will continue to remain on a separate cluster from the new cluster, which means you will not be able to transfer anything between Legacy servers and the new servers.

    Servers Up for Deletion
    Below is a complete list of the LEGACY  servers that will be deleted come March 9th. You have from now until then to move your belongings onto a server not present on this list. Please click one of the links below. They are separated by platform (PC, Xbox, and PS4).

    How To Move Servers
    If you are unfamiliar with the process, you are able to upload your items, creatures, and player through the Obelisk terminal, supply drops, as well as the Tek Transmitter. Survivors are advised to use Cross-ARK immediately to relocate their belongings onto a server that is not included in our take-down list above.

    Allocation of New Servers
    We know you are all very curious about this, but we don’t have this information ready to share quite yet. What I can tell you is that we plan to continue to support all current existing game modes in some capacity, so you won’t lose access to your favourite way to play the game. This means that lower population token servers won't be deleted if they are the only server of that gamemode. We will be mainly focusing our efforts on strictly PVP and PVE servers on all maps, but will allocate servers to the other game modes based on their popularity.

    Server Saves of Deleted Servers
    We will make the save files available as soon as we can, which will likely be sometime around February 19th at the earliest. We will host the PC 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. Nitrado will also be able to provide the saves for use on Nitrado servers for console, as they have done in the past.

    ARK: 2x Evolution Event Weekend!

    large.EvoEvent.png

    Survivors across ALL Platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It's already live now and will remain active until Monday the 12th of February at 3 PM EST. All Official Servers will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes:

    2x Harvesting Rate

    Super Resolution Version: http://images.nvidia.com/ansel/SuperResolution/ARK-SuperResolution1/ARK__Survival_Evolved_HighRes_2016_09_01_-_14_38_36_55.html

    ARK: Survival Evolved and the Scorched Earth Expansion Pack now include support for NVIDIA Ansel -- a revolutionary new way to capture in-game shots.  Compose shots from any position, adjust with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats, and share the screenshots in 360 via a smartphone, PC or VR headset. 

    Learn more about these features from the NVIDIA blog.

    Now let’s get to the contest!

    There were 3 potential categories for survivors to enter their shots into and they were the following:

    Four Categories

    *NEW* Freestyle: These can be images or videos taken using NVIDIA's new Freestyle filters! If videos are submitted, they must have a maximum duration of one minute. 

    Super Resolution: These should be taken at 8x Super Resolution. Players can optionally use Depth of Field effects accessible in Spectator mode by pressing the [Delete] key.

    Panoramic 360 Stereoscopic 3D: These should be taken at 4x Super Resolution, in 360 Stereoscopic 3D mode. We will crop them to 2D for web display, while also providing the 3D version for viewing within VR display.

    Freeform: Any settings, whacky and creative use of Ansel filters are encouraged. Adding humorous titles/captions in Photoshop is also acceptable for this category!

    And now without further ado, here are your entries!

    I noticed a small mistake in the Gigantopithecus Dossier; On the last paragraph is repeats "Playful once tamed" twice.

    Would it be possible to change keybindings for force feeding and things like the TEK helmet? I changed my 'E' key to be right click, so these functions do not work unless I temporarily change the keybinding back, which makes playing the game awkward because of the different keys. Thanks!

    WHY is my server on that list? server population is not low and goes from 20 people 50 people daily and continuously, all the peoples hard work is going to be lost and the Developers of this game know that moving tames and items to a server is a guaranteed death sentence and loss of progress

    I can't wait to see the updated dinos! I'm so stoked to see the sarcos getting some TLC as well. The fact that they get a death roll ability makes me want to tame one!

    I am a bit bummed about the valentines day event. :( I work 10 hours a day, so I can't really enjoy it/utilize it like I was hoping to. I wish it were running longer or on the weekend instead of during the middle of the week. Its a bit unfair to those who have to work. I was really looking forward to raising a giga for myself and some yutys.

     

    edit: okay the rexes...be still my heart. wow. they look stellar! you guys really outdid yourselves with these updates and should be very proud! I can't wait to see what's to come!

    Just to be clear, this is only affecting legacy servers. What's the legacy server you play on? I'll have someone check the counts.

    Why the update on Saturday, when most players are active (after that update fiasco that made almost all players unable to play for a couple days) and why Valentine event in the middle of the week, when most are working? :Jerbcry:

    Will the second phase only be changing the Argy, Spino and Sarco? Was really hoping to see some love for the Raptor, Carno and Quetz.

    With that said, this TLC patch is a huge step in the right direction. Great job!

    TLC looks killer...great changes.  Nice work guys!!

    I have to agree though...why only a 48h event...in the middle of the week?  I get it, Vday is on a Wednesday, but for us working, that is limited time to enjoy the event let alone get some of the wild colors.  

    Any chance of extending it?

    Sorry for asking, but I play Single player pc the Island on steam (same game for 2 years+). Could the legacy server shutdown affecting my game? Honestly, I don't know if single player is on an official server? or is different? I don't known how to find my server name... basically: help please.

    It looks great but to clarify things the NA Official server I've been playing on isn't on the list but has been down since February 8th at 8am Eastern Time. With that being said are y'all going to make the 2x even longer to cover from those outages of the servers or are we just going to have to take it on the chin.....
