Evolution Event: Cross ARK Transfers & More!

[wolfieArk]

If I'm reading that right, transferring to scorched earth is amazing. I quit playing SE because so many dinos could not be kibble tamed, but if I can transfer dinos that problem is solved. I'm sure some will not like that, but I love that decision.

Hi @Jat,

You stated, "Complete transfer of Items, Tames and Survivors through all MAPS on the Official ARK Network (separated by game mode)."

Is this only for the cluster servers or could I transfer from standard pve official servers Island to Scorced and Scorched to Island? You made it sound like it was only available on the 3 way cluster servers consisting of all three maps.

 

All servers are on a cluster. If you're on a PvE server, you're apart of the PvE cluster, so you'll be able to transfer to any PvE server. If you're on a PvP server, you'll be able to transfer to any PvP server - etc. They just have to be of the same type + gamemode. So Primitive PvE -> Primitive PvE would be fine, but not Primitive PvE to Primitive PvP.

Why does this post sound like a warning? The cheating policy was clearly established before this post. People cheated to a level the broke the game for everybody around them. Are you really letting them off with a warning and the massive benefits they already reaped? I mean seriously DILO.

This is likely going to cause some problems with the whole cross-server dino transfer thing. Like people have stated there are tribes with no other purpose than to move on to a server and burn it to the ground. Now, that problem is worse. A big tribe can pack a few heavy transport dinos with everything they need to build a massive base right off, throw it up and start wrecking everything around them.

 

Well, I think I'll stick with extinction servers. There's no need to worry about a tribe becoming so big they push everyone off the server, covering the map in turrets and the like.

Already had to deal with people transferring wyverns and golems from SE trying to wipe servers, now we have to deal with all that + gigas and titans and whatever else they can bring from the island/center servers. At least try to also limit the amount of items people can bring or make a cool-down for item transfer too. That wouldn't even solve the problem if 50 people come on your server out of nowhere with full inventory of explosives.

Let's not forget that SE map was supposed to be harder than the others, now we can just transfer all the kibble in the world to tame stuff there and make our lives a lot easier oh and structures? So I can farm the volcano on the island and get a bunch of metal, make a bunch of structures and go to SE and boom, already have a base. 

I really don't know why you guys did this, but I don't like it at all. Hope you made the right decision here. 

By doing this they have leveled the playing field for everybody, if someone comes to raid you your able to transfer things back to thier original server and raid them back, we should not just be stuck with the same people in one server until one tribe top tribe and everyone else plays by thier rules yeah that cool for the alpha but for the other 80% of the server is completely unfair by doing this you keep servers form going stale and eventually dying because no one but the alpha wants to play on there then they get bored because theres no one else to play with

poop is about to get real.

@Jat Please very carefully read and consider the ticket I've submitted, it details a very severe game critical bug relevant to this patch that you've just announced. This will be another severely exploited abusive bug if you don't fix it asap. 

[NoOne]

@Jat

Since this issue has been going on for so long.  The "Master" alpha tribes that have been taking over whole clusters have collected HUGE amounts of resources.  Uninhibited taming and collection of dinos.  Already on 722, the "Master Alpha" of our cluster hit its first server with over 22 gigas, +Quetz, + all the scorched dinos.  You have started a systematic server wipe, 12 hours at a time.  With no items limits, or dino limits in transfers this is the end for a lot of us.

Thanks

[Griffins909]

@jat any chance of us primitive players getting the primitive cannon or something more useful than a low torpor inducing boulder to knock out titans and elementals?

If you have an exploit to report, please send a detailed email to info@studiowildcard.com.

@Jat does the 12h cooldown affect singleplayer? Because there is no reason it has to.

I see:
* Added new server commandline/ini option ?MinimumDinoReuploadInterval=1000 for number of seconds cooldown between allowed Dino re-uploads (defaults to 0, set to 43200 on Official Servers which is 12 hours). Remaining cooldown time is displayed on the Dino Upload UI.

Sorry for not checking patch notes first.

Well if the alphas are not complete assholes, other people playing wouldn't be a problem. 

Also I doubt you will even have the chance to "raid them back" if they bring a bunch of gigas from the island/center, another bunch of wyverns and golems and tons and tons of explosives and gear since there is no limit for those and if it happens that you are hated by multiple tribes from different servers, then you're just done. 

[EvilKage360]

Is this going to fix the issues on Xbox where certain player dedicated servers can't transfer anything, onto the server cause nothing shows up in the tower, this issue has only been going on since the release of Scorched Earth

[edinxy]

Ok

wildcard u just destroyed this game 2k playhours of fair farming... facing ASSHOLES of 50 man tribes with duped 100k ingots etc .. HOW IS THIS FAIR? ARE YOU ACTUALLY THINKING BOUT WHAT U DOING?

 

WHY DO YOU raptor UP PEOPLE CONSTANTLy

 

IT SHOULDNT BE raptorING POSSIBLE TO TRANSFER AT ALL

 

holy damn im so raptoring angry i cant even express it... every SE server will be whiped by bigger tribes i guarantee it ... Thank you just raptoring thank you for anouncing this too

[Madlad]

@jat cant wait for this but for transferring dinos to different servers will we be able to transfer stuff like quetzals gigas etc to scorched earth

[JackImpact]

What community is it that you are listening to? 

You cant "get back" at a tribe that wipes you. 

 

This is nuclear war, but for Ark.

WC might be a bunch of left-wing west-coast hipsters and, but I sure do appreciate their dedication to bringing Darwinism into gaming.  Too many people who 'raptoring love science' don't get the full implications of evolutionary practices..

With cross-ark transfers, there is no safe spaces left! May those groups with more asabiyah prevail and let the rivers runneth over with the salty tears of noobs. Not sure how good a business model it is, in the long run.. 

This lunatic heartily applauds though.

i agree it is amazing but giving SE time to actually build up with kibble tames would be nice before unleashing hell on the servers. servers are only about 3 months old and just got 150 dinos. so the ability for island to just invade with hundreds of gigas and on a map that generators break on and dont have species x is kind of unfair from go.

They didn't even the ground for anyone, they simply served the entire game on a silver plate to all those cancer tribes (50+ members) from foreign countries. There are no way in the world smaller tribe of 5-6 players (which represents the vast majority of tribes now) can stand a remote chance.

We are back to state of the game we had last year with all those bullying tribes invading with mass grenades via obelisks.... well done on killing the game.

I play on PvE, assuming you are on PvP. I see the danger for pvp players, but being on pve I don't have this fear. I don't know the best solution for pvp but hope this functionality stays for pve.

[BobRoss]

i would like to congratulate you on making these decisions as they arent easy to make. I do not agree with all of them but i believe they will increase the overall experience on the ARK alot.

I understand you dont want to make any rush decisions when problems arise and that you want to think things over and talk about them with the whole team. debating a fix then testing it and implementing it takes time, we know that but please, just please communicate with us, even if it isnt a definitive response, talk to us, let us know you are debating things, maybe even ask us what our stance is on some subjects if you doubt how it will influence the game. you are working on this game practically all day so you dont have alot of time to play it yourself, this is perhaps where our experience can come in handy? if not then that is your decision and we will have to accept that but in that case just tell us you heard our complaints and are working on it internally so we KNOW you have heard us and we can turn down the heat and give you time. 

We dont feel like we are entitled to have a say in the way the game is being made, but we ARE the testers, thats why its EARLY ALPHA and i think i speak for the majority of the community if i say we all love this game and would love to help you guys out if needed.

i would like to give you my congratulations in fulfilling one of my biggest childhood dreams and i hope you can turn this early access game in a great success as you all deserve it!!

So you guys plays on PVP servers and dont want war? Only to sit on  the safety of your base and being "alpha tribes" and controlling your little world where no one can grow there unless you decide to allow it. Where's the pvp there?  I see a world of opportunity and fun there. Will love to see 2 "alpha tribes" fighting each other , and not knowing so well the terrain and map or even who are its enemies as they do on their own homeland. Lets be honest, when you get to the top the game ends until the next event with dodorex/dodowyvern. To bring cross servers Wars will bring a new level of war and power dispute. Of course some tribes will annihilate others but it is what happends all the times when someone trys to grow on your server.

The thing Im worried about is only the server player cap. Being locked out while some tribe swarms yours. Thats a real problem.
