mastersmith Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The scrolling from one side to the other needs to be more intelligent. I can't think of a single time I've wanted to go from dino inventory to making a new folder in my own. Will this also address the fact that a stack of something can not be moved into a remote inventory? You have to move a single over first then move the rest. Happens on dinos, boxes, the ark ext. Thank you for getting some of these fixes out so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjsechrest Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Jat, if you don't mind me asking, where are the patch notes that say "raised font size". I don't think you seem to understand that many of us cannot read the text at all in any of the menus and I'm talking about with your face right in front of the screen. Not all of us play on a monitor and just the fact that this wasn't even mentioned makes me think it's something that you all think it's fine and doesn't need to change. I cannot continue to play this game with the text as is. it's simply a strain on my eyes and between the small print and the extremely bright colors I've gotten several migraines trying to keep my base going since patch. Please consider this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for getting some of these fixes out so quickly. You can move a stack of an item to the remote inventory by holding down the A or X key [depending on which platform you're on]. As for the scrolling, do you mean from starting at your personal inventory and going to a remote inventory? 2 minutes ago, Mjsechrest said: Jat, if you don't mind me asking, where are the patch notes that say "raised font size".

mastersmith Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 @Jat Yes from mine to a remote or vise versa. Also before it would allow you to select the entire remote inventory if it was blank to move a stack of something. Now you are saying if I hold x it will just move it for me? Is that after this hotfix or now? Sorry it didn't quote like I intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding X will move the stacks right now, it has been functioning like this since ARK released on console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replied in another thread, but will reply here too: These will not address split-screen related issues but will pass those on to the team so we can get it looked at. The good news is that we'll be porting split-screen to PC soon, which I am hoping means we'll be able to actively iterate on it much better than the past (we'll see though, may not be the case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about changing the font colors? The size of text on my TV that is across the room doesn't seem to give me problems, it's the blue on blue that makes it hard to read. At least for me. My set is a 55" 4K HDR tv as a data point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that adjusting the font colours could help, unfortunately, white doesn't look as visually appealing so they're looking into other options, all dem art folk.

Nanah Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Many thanks Jat and the whole Team for this fast reaction. Hope you will change the UI for better readability in the future. I'm on PS4 btw and 46" Full HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theworldhadteeth Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 After the update this morning, all my tamed dinos lost their stats updates like stamina, weight, speed, etc... They kept their ranks, but lost these stats. Now my animals have no stamina, no speed, can't carry anything, and have no opportunity to even earn it back since their ranks are higher. The new update broke them. It took way to long to get their stats up. Please let me know if my dinos are going to be fixed. I'm eager to play, but if I play/rank up my dinos now it might overwrite something and not allow them to be fixed. BTW, I'm on PS4 playing a non-dedicated server locally.

Whipples Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Jat, my tribe has lost 11 juvenile and adolescents to starvation because of the water bubble crashing. This includes two new color mutations. Will there be any sort of roll back or fix to get us back those lost tames? The patch essentially came out, wiped our babies, and is preventing my tribe from participating in the Easter event. What can be done about This?

HCPatton Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Jat two questions, one has been asked multiple times. 1. Why did the flier Dino's lose levels that were not given back. For example my 240 ptera, whom I only put two stats into movement and a lot into stamina, got reverted back to a 204. It's like I was only given the stats back for the movement but lost the levels entirely for the stamina. Will I get levels back or is the max level gonna be lower now. 2. When using force feed to heal dinos, no health is being given now. I didn't see anything in the notes about this being affected. It's made it almost impossible to cave solo. By the time I make it to the end, all the monsters have re spawned so I gotta fight my way back with low health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we just have an option in settings to change the colours ourselves? Have an RBG slider for the hub and the fonts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaNitro Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 @Jat what about the crashing on Xbox that is causing our consoles to hard reboot?? I don't see anything in the Xbox patch notes addressing this or fixing it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul080576 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hi Jat, Thank you for all of the responses. I had a quick question about the chat box function. I know you addressed the alignment of the chat box with this upcoming patch, but I was wondering if it could be possible to add a dedicated chat screen in the inventory menu. For example, in the HUB we have, we currently switch tabs by pressing the LB or RB to go left or right. Could one of those tabs, maybe next to Tribe Manager, be a "Chat" tab where we can see the whole chat log along with the option of scrolling up in chat and viewing things we have missed? Then select the empty response field to enter our text. So much is missed when there are a lot of people chatting so it's hard to keep all the conversations up on the screen long enough to see what was said.
