Administrator Jatheish Posted November 30, 2016 Administrator Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hey Survivors, Isolated Clusters Today we’ve launched some brand new Official PvP Servers on PC. These differ from the regular network as each set of servers are on their own cluster. A ‘TheIsland’ map is directly connected to an individual ‘TheCenter’ map and finally, an individual ‘The Scorched Earth’. Players are able to freely transfer through all the maps, whether its items, characters, and or Dinos - but it will only be to other servers on that specific Cluster. In total, we’ve launched 8 clusters, 4 in EU and 4 in NA. You can find the servers by typing the following names into your server filter: NA-CrossArk3-TheIsland NA-CrossArk3-TheCenter NA-CrossArk3-ScorchedEarth NA-CrossArk4-TheIsland NA-CrossArk4-TheCenter NA-CrossArk4-ScorchedEarth NA-CrossArk5-TheIsland NA-CrossArk5-TheCenter NA-CrossArk5-ScorchedEarth NA-CrossArk6-TheIsland NA-CrossArk6-TheCenter NA-CrossArk6-ScorchedEarth EU-CrossArk7-TheIsland EU-CrossArk7-TheCenter EU-CrossArk7-ScorchedEarth EU-CrossArk8-TheIsland EU-CrossArk8-TheCenter EU-CrossArk8-ScorchedEarth EU-CrossArk9-TheIsland EU-CrossArk9-TheCenter EU-CrossArk9-ScorchedEarth EU-CrossArk10-TheIsland EU-CrossArk10-TheCenter EU-CrossArk10-ScorchedEarth This change will also be coming to Consoles. Xbox Players can expect to experience isolated clusters when Patch 748 is released, and PS4 Players will also have a set of isolated clusters available to choose from on the day of launch. PGMs and Extinction Servers on Xbox Following the release of Xbox Patch 748 on December 13th (ETA) and our new Procedurally Generated Map system on console, we will be making some immediate changes to our Extinction Servers. All Xbox Extinction Servers will be taken offline and relaunched as fresh Extinction Server servers using our new procedurally generated map system, with each server using a unique PGM configuration. At the end of an Extinction Server’s lifecycle, upon restart, a totally unique random procedural map will be generated and another fresh experience will be created for players. Our decision to make these changes is based on the idea of each player’s experience on an Extinction server being a unique one. The servers were intended to provide survivors with a fresh environment to compete in, over a short period of time. By making this change we will be able to ensure that things are kept fresh as each cycle will be played on a completely new map, with infinite possibilities. The change also benefits us in terms of development as we will be able to quickly see how procedurally generated maps play out, rapidly iterate upon any issues that arise whether through gameplay, balance, or just flaws in how the maps are generated. You have until this patch launches to finish out your battles on the current extinction servers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDizzy81 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 What are the chances of Official PGM servers that aren't extinction? Something that kind of makes the servers unique from one another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassindude27 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 What about cluster PvE servers or new PvE servers. All the old ones are filled and laggy and buggy. We need some new ones. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanballan Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 What about releasing this function for Unofficial servers aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read that PC players can do this already, but I probably misread it. Would love to set up an Xbox cluster if it's supported there or on a play anywhere version of the game on multiple pcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZulunSurvives Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Loved it. I believe it was the best solution.No wipes on the old ones and brand new chances for people who dont liked the full transfer. Lets see how it goes and hope it can satisfy everyone.

Lukey84 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Can the final extinction be a little more exciting? Something more grand than dashboarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobRoss Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 as far as cluster servers go, this is a well needed change, good job working this out. maybe keep 1 or 2 extinction servers off the current official maps for people who like to play on familiar grounds? overall very good job!

Ekoby Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 @Jat Is this in addition to the original clusters? For example: EU-TheHundredCrossArk2-ScorchedEarth Are the original cross ark clusters still staying the same or will they be opened to the rest of the official servers?

ROYALXxScorpion Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 @Jat Does this mean Xbox is getting more Cross Arks as well? I have a tribe waiting for new clusters. We tried to go on the current ones but they are all KOS and its impossible to build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see a way on Xbox to set up one, rent one or set up a play anywhere cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to make a fresh start someday, and this is all the more reason for me to do it. By the way, can you please release Official Isolated Clusters for Primitive Plus in the future?

Silk Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 As a PC player, I would love to have xbox and ps4 players on the same pvp servers as us with their little controllers. Can you make this happen? (make sure you don't give them auto-aim cheating) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBadger800 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Are there only going to be 8 isolated servers launched with this update for Xbox? If so, does anyone know if they're expecting to add more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Jat, Some questions about Extinction servers: 1. Will rates be adjusted? Right now it's 2x exp, 2x harvest, but only 1.5x taming. Will taming be adjusted to 2x or, at the very least, will evolution events include Extinction servers going forward? Right now they don't get the benefits of the Evo Events. 2. Rates again. Any word on maturation rate buffs too? Breeding just isn't feasible on extinction at present. 3. Any chance you could reset the timers on the extinction servers to match the wipe date? Would like to see what the meteor looks like after day 20, as that's the latest we've seen the timer go before it resets. 4. Is anyone looking at Giga damage on primitive servers? I play on a prim extinction and our lvl 15 giga does 8 damage to stone per bite. A pike or pick does only slightly worse. Not to mention our rexes are way better at killing wild brontos etc. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekoby Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 @Jat Where do the original ark clusters come in all this? I'm on EU-TheHundredCrossArk2 Is there no change to these original "thehundred" cross ark clusters? Will they stay in their own cluster or be opened to the wider official pvp population?

HoneyBadger800 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Just as confirmation, the isolated clusters are coming in the Xbox update tomorrow, the 14th? I know it says up top in the article that they're included but just hoping to have a guarantee yes or no. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
