With Aberration promising some lore-heavy story developments, are we going to see any "endgame" or Tek presence on Scorched Earth?  Canonically, that's where Helena and Rockwell head after The Island, and it would be nice to feel like we've "beaten" that map as well.  A lore presence on The Center would be great as well, as I think the story/lore is the best part of ARK, and it would be great to feel like every official map is essential and necessary to travel to in order to get the full picture.  This would be a great way to demonstrate the appeal of map transferring.

Will baby dino models get an update? For example, baby mammoths being born with giant tusks (or male megaloceros already having a full set of antlers) seems unrealistic and, not to mention, painful for Mom. Progressively changing models during maturation are already in game with the Beelzebufo tadpoles and anglerfish babies.

A robust tribe system would go a long way towards helping alleviate the server tame cap problem. It would mean less tribes on a server and therefore less tamed animals needed.

This is a mix of suggestions from myself and various people for a tribe system overhaul.

The tribe rank system, once activated, places everything in the tribe at the minimum level. For large tribes with a lot of animals and structures people would have to go and individually raise each and every animal and building piece to a higher rank. Any chance of giving us the option to choose which rank the rank system places everything upon activation?

-The set tribe tame limit should be removed and the limit should instead depend on how many members a tribe has. That way people are encouraged to group up and decrease the tamed animal strain on the servers. For example: 100 per person for 1 to 3 people, 50 per person for 4 to 5 people, and finally 25 per person for 6-9 people for a max amount of 500 dinos for a tribe of 9 or more people. Again, those numbers were just examples.

-Tribal boosts similar to the pack boosts that animals experience in order to encourage people to work as a team. I think this one's rather amusing but I don't know about actually implementing it.

Ability to designate animals and containers as public use or private use for certain individuals.

Timer for tribe ownership inactivity which would allow the next highest active tribe member to take over the tribe so it doesn't stay dead.

Even with the rank system active anyone can destroy all animals and structures in their tribe while holding the bare minimum of permissions. While insiding, or spying, is a perfectly valid option for PvP it has no place in PvE. The rank system should have an option to disable damaging structures and animals per rank.

will there be an easier way to transfer aquatic creatures between servers? a suggestion, perhaps, could be to have the obelisk beam for any obelisks that sit on the water to extend beneath the platform and make it accessable from there?

is there any future plan for insects (scorpions, mantis, etc) to be breedable?

2 parter..

1: Is there any chance of changing the opening of doors/gates away from the same button that dismounts you from your tame? It's such a pain in the a/ss going through locks with a giga and taking the fall damage just to get back to base after a meat run.

2: When are we going to get the center on the clusters? It is such a beautiful map and the room for 100 people vs the 70 island offers just makes sense. The island maps have always been more laggy and congested than centers.

TY,

Dio

Question #1

When will the Explorers notebook/ Dino Dossier book be available for purchase? Is there going to be a new one per expansion or 1 big one?

Question #2

Also, will there every be some kind of security camera app to send notifications if something happens to your base while you are away/out of fuel/done refining metal etc..

Question #3

Lastly,(answer is probably no)I know that the ps4 can remote play with the vita but will there ever be a time when we can have the game on ps vita (dont have one but would get one if I could play Ark on the go with it).

You stated previously that most insects have a different lifecycle, so breeding is tricky to do for them. However, only the Dung Beetle and the Lymantria would have an unusual breeding cycle. For most other insects, they do not have a different development cycle, and are pretty much born from an egg with the same shape of adults of their species. They just grow bigger overtime. Unless you really want to copy the molting phase, Scorpions, Mantis, Spiders, Centipedes, and Snakes could behave exactly the same as all the reptiles and birds in terms of breeding - You get an egg, hatch the egg, and grow the smaller version of the creature into a bigger version of it.

 

So, please add breeding for those creatures?

speaking of the tlc pass for dinos there are several of them who cry out for a remodeling by elemplo: the tyrannosaurus the simple scientific name of the dino dossier is unworthy for a tyrannosaurus the original noble of t.rex is manospondylus gigas and given that this rex is more big would call it manospondylus gigas gigas, the t.rex is the terser terrestrial drepredador greater of the fas of the earth. it weighed approximately 10 tons and was a very strong creature the tyrannosaursarus jaw exerted a 5800 kilograms of force per square centimeter because it would not break the bones without crushing them causing great hemorragis and wounds that difficult to heal and also it is estimated that it could ejerser much more force its tiny coals although they are longer than ours could get 250 kilograms each and it is assumed that the joints of the coals were limited and made to withstand heavy loads this was to maintain endes to hold a dam moving frantically to release and the shape of the skull its jaws tnenian form of u as all the tyrannosauridos adiferencia of those of but carnivoros that had it in form of v
which allowed him to pull more flesh and bone from a perfect bite to dismember his victims also the t.rex fought among them so that they should have extremely hard skin to withstand such abuse. also had one of the best smell I remember that the American black vulture (buzzard) surpassed him had a vision binocular facinate until we can say that he could see everything in 4k because in ark he would put him about 10000 life points about 580 damage 1270 stamina a base velosity of 745 and a sprint of 1285 and should have a very high strength that reduces damage by 25% and 50%, 75% combat or hunting including fire attacks, tranquilizers, arrows, artillery, bullets and exploits, etc. as a special ability when a tyrannosaurus hunts or is in a fight its strength increases decreasing the damage infix is aggressive with noisy creatures, who move a lot and in herds:Rex:the domestication of the tyrannosaurus the most powerful predator of the island (powerful non-dangerous word said there is a great directive) should be almost like the golem tine to attack with a considerable arsenal to overthrow this tyrant grasia asu hard skin and great fortress use tranquilisers no will make him tickle because he is weakened with heavy artillery for that is better to attack him asleep and / or resting never hunting or endispute with another predator because it would be death or stolen the guarded rex nests. by the way instead of giving you the arms of rex give you teeth
