  • Primitive+, The Center, Allosaurus, Pelagornis, and the Fishing Frenzy Free Weekend!

    large.579a424c2df6d_TheCenterv2TopoftheW

    Now available as a free DLC in the ‘ARK Official Mods Program’, Primitive+, created by Cedric Burkes, is playable as a functionality mod on all Official ARK Maps and challenges players by altering the available tools, weapons and structures in the game to reflect what humans could realistically create using primitive technology and resources. This does not simply remove advanced technology from ARK, but instead replaces it with a multitude of new resources, engrams and systems.

    Players will need to specialize in specific roles and work together to complete their goals. Hunters, farmers, cooks and builders can band together to create a new, functioning society where diplomacy and even economics can matter. In Primitive Plus, you will not only cope with human society’s limitations, but unlock its potential.

    As well as the release of Primitive+, this huge patch also covers a large expansion to The Center! The Center,  has now been expanded to include new biomes, islands, caves, and a completely new boss arena for survivors to explore, as well as the addition of a wide variety creatures to tame and be hunted.

    ARK Patch v245

    large.Pelagornoris.jpg.2cd7c8139c69c8da8

    large.Dossier_Pelagornis.jpg.3cd275ed8e1

    Pelagornis is one of the island's most versatile mounts because of its ability to fly, walk, and surface-swim. It has a wingspan rivaling Argentavis, and possesses a beak filled with tooth-like projections for snagging fish and webbed feet for paddling upon the ocean surface. Though it’s versatility comes at a cost, the same webbed feet that allow Pelagornis to serenely maneuver along the ocean's surface prevent it from snatching prey from the ground, which may limit its appeal to some survivors.

    large.Allosaurus.jpg.f7470eeb6422a8be2c6

    large.Allosaurus.jpg.c5a120e333f13567652

    Allosaurus, smaller but faster than Tyrannosaurus, larger but slower than Carnotaurus, Allosaurus is the island's resident pack-hunting theropod. While most aggressive theropods are relatively solitary creatures, Allosaurus lives in groups of three. One Allosaurus is the Pack Leader, while the others are its mates or a beta male. The Allosaurus has evolved to hunt in packs. Its saw-shaped teeth leave its prey bleeding and maimed, making escape difficult. Once an Allosaurus slows a creature with its cutting bite, the rest of its pack quickly close in for the kill…

    Additional Update v245 Content Includes

    • New Item: Fishing Rod + Fishing Mechanic! Be a pro fisherman as you apply varied bait, cast the line, wait for a fish to become ensnared, and then succeed at a mini-game to reel the fish and claim copious rewards!
    • New Structure: Industrial Grinder that grinds items into a portion of their crafting resources, then converts resources into simpler resources
    • New Structure: Spiral Staircase (Stone/Wood/Metal)
    • New Mechanic: Optional Hitmarkers for ranged attacks (server can toggle them, as well as client if the server allows it)
    • Building Attack/Destruction Tribe Logs
    • UI Option to colorize item name texts based on quality level.
    • Offline Raid Protection mode now disables PIN Locking, and Structures in Caves no longer get ORP.

    Primitive+ release on Xbox One

    Don’t worry! Primitive+ will still be releasing on Xbox One - it has not been cancelled, let’s dispel those rumours right now. It is fact coming fairly soon! Though, it is still a couple weeks away. The reason for the delay, outside of regular procedure matters (certification etc), is that we wanted to take a more careful approach with releasing this DLC due to the some of the bumps that we had run into when we initially released our first DLC, The Center onto the Xbox platform. A few of our recent patches have had significant changes which have led to some painful situations which we’re still recovering from in terms of issues that crop up post release. I know it sucks as you guys have been very passionate about playing Primitive+, we’ve seen the support all over social media and we’re truly grateful for it, which is even more reason why we want to do our best to ensure that when the DLC is made available, it does not suffer from those same bumps. We’re going to ensure this by putting it through it’s paces with more vigorous QA, and monitoring the official release on PC for any undetected issues, as well as conduct extra iteration when necessary. We are sorry about the delay, and it won’t be too long, and when it does become available, you’ll be glad we avoided the risk and hopefully we’ll have a smooth, bump, and bruise-free release!

    Until then, I know that the Xbox server I've been on won't be wiped until the actual update day.

    One it's an RP server, two there is an application (so to root out the trolls & people who want to watch the world burn), and three We Need More MAIDENS! 

    MidNightxWo1f is hosting the RP server. My sister and I are the only 2 females. 

    When primitive plus releases, then it'll be wiped, but until then you can try to get used to the RP if you are new to it, like me. 

     

    * as someone whose pc can't handle ark on it, I'm grateful that they have been working on the Xbox version as much as possible.   I hope that it doesn't take longer than the 2 weeks, but if it does, then allow them to fix the bugs ahead of time. Maybe Q&A found some bugs that make the game unable to launch? Anyway, I am not going to complain - I'll help when I can, so other players don't fall out of the world if I find a glitch. Peace out.

    Allosaurs just spawned inside several buildings on The Center and wrecked up the place. Ticket submitted. Hard work taken without even a fair fight.
    Metal Bases with 10 high metal walls : 0
    Magical indoor spawning Allosaur packs : 10
    No longer trusting multiple tribe bases and having no other options to house your dinos : Stress induced heart attack followed by crippling depression

    Anyone have details on the "Building attack/destruction tribe logs" thing?  Is this going to be a setting option for unofficial servers or part of the official game?  I haven't seen or read anything specific about it other than just that it was coming in an update.

    Be glad anything is available on Xbox at all. People forget this is still an game in development in the Alpha phase. A game that starts on PC and was intended for PC will always get new content first. It's been this way forever. Also, Annunaki Genesis is not an official part of the game, it's an independent mode. Want Xbone support? Ask the mod developer. 

    please don't defend that bs. we understand its a pc starter game, that they will get poop first. but THEY announced it would be released for xbox the same day. of course ppl are pissed off.

    My post was not intended to start a pc vs console thing and now I read my post it offers nothing to the debate! 

    The fact remains when it reaches full release the console version will out sell the pc version by such a margin it's not even funny! 

    Boop. ....!

    don't even let idiots like that draw u in, its pointless they will continue to bash on consoles because they were fortunate enough in life to have daddy or mommy buy them a PC or get a good job early on and can afford something like that, some of us have to work for a living, and cant afford high end computers that actually give people a worthwhile experience.

    your comment was a fair and proper one, I hope more people understand how it was meant.

    have a good day man.

    I'd rather they hold off and let the pc players work out the bugs then just release some broken bs. For the ones that wiped their servers or quit, why would you do that before release? You have to take whatever dates/content is put here with a grain of salt. They rarely accomplish what they set out to do. Even so keep up the good work devs awesome game!

    There are currently 18 people that I know of, who are on the server. It's meant as a peaceful server where you have houses, house wars, trading, and the such set in a medieval Era. 

    I've just started on the server with my sister, but once we get more people, more things can happen.

    No rush! Do what you need to ensure things run smoothly for Xbox DLCs. The only thing I am interested in is the Allosaurus.

    Primitive plus has a little problem with builable peices not lining up right.  More specifically roofs and walls.

    nope, I can pretty much guarantee that.

    hardcore is a mode u can turn off or on in dedicated servers, they may release some of the Primitive plus mods into the official Hardcore, but I highly doubt more then 1-2 because those servers die rapidly and over and over. there will be servers for you to play on don't worry

    huh, they told me just the other day they had 40 people steady on it when I said the server was dead while I was there, exact words were "tell that to the 40+ people playing it"

    As someone who joined very recently, I can't be sure of how many people are really on. Please understand that my facts could be off a bit, seeing as it's not my server. Thank you. 

    But we could definitely use more women on the server, cause we only have 2.(including myself in that) if you want to talk more, we can message each other on here I think.

    easy for you to say you have pc. and yes I get that we should be "lucky" that it still comes out for xbox but it still takes SOOOOOOOO long for it to come out on xbox

    Uhh...before I moved to PC, I played on Playstation, which typically gets things months to sometimes a year -after- Xbox does. So yeah...make your choices.

    This just isn't true most games are developed on pc because small bugs can be game breaking on console and the player's base simply will not tolerate what they consider a broken game! You are in reality testing the game for console gamers!

    Get a hit on pc and you get the chance to develop another game, get a hit on console and you're made for life!

    I'm fairly sure the game was set for a ps4 exclusive since day one until xbox changed how they assess games in alpha for there game preview program!

    I'm fairly certain the game was not set for ps4 exclusively since day one. I've been playing since day one and it was always being developed and advertised as a PC game. That is, until they realized how much money they could make off of console.

    You are in reality, completely delusional.

    Day 01 of the new  Pelagornis I had to get myself one, which was very simple. Then I was so I excited to gather my resources for its saddle, singing along, working away, slaying prey. All finished and have my saddle, ready to test this new found friend... OH UH! What this? Is the birds saddle glitched here or is this Bird supposed to be HUGE? 

    Has anyone else encountered this problem with thier new  Pelagornis ?

    Cheers!!

    Would also like to add that the Lumber station engram is no where to be found within my game.
