As mentioned previously, we're targetting a console release for this update in mid-April and will keep you posted about more accurate release dates once we get closer to submitting the patch. We'll need a bit more time to work on Primitive+, it'll have the missing engrams for the DLC as well as the latest Dino TLC content in an upcoming patch! Now that TLC #2 has been released we will be turning our focus more directly on to bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements for the core game in the weeks ahead. Going forward, we'll be consolidating the patching process on PC. We will be leaning heavily on regular Tuesday (or Wednesday if needed) deployments unless critical fixes require patches outside of that regular patch day. These will become collective weekly bug and quality-of-life patching updates. PS4 North America Sale! ARK: 2x Evolution Event Weekend! Survivors across ALL Platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from the 23rd of March at 1 PM EST until Monday at 3 PM. All Official Servers will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes: 2x Harvesting Rate 2x Taming Rate 2x EXP Rate Not to mention our current Evolution Event is still running until Wednesday the 21st at 3 PM EST!

DonaldDuck Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 wow awesome update, I miss having Argentavis while playing on Aberration, , it makes funny noises. I thought Spino was given an ability to harvest Prime Fish Meat, but turns out it prefers Prime Fish Meat for taming it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
