It's your last change to enter our annual egg painting contest! Check out the details and submit your entries on the forums announcement linked below! Social Roundup! The Social Roundup is geared to showing you some of the social activity you might be otherwise missing. Here we will highlight some of the posts that happened on our various social platforms. Topics might range from existing bugs to questions about events or future content. ON SCORCHED EARTH ASCENSION ON FORUM RANK ON FORUM POLLS ON CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE TIME ON PRIM+ SUPPLY DROPS ON ARK MOBILE DEVELOPMENT Game Suggestion Roundup! Last week we introduced our new feedback section here on the forums. Here is a roundup of the current top suggestions, as well as some of our commentary on the topics for this week. We'll comment on ideas that are trending or being upvoted but we are looking at everything internally. PVE AND PVP BALANCE We understand that PvE and PvP players experience the game in much different wasy. When designing features we look for ways to engage both audiences equally but there are times when changes may have unintended consequences for either mode. We currently offer many ways to customize ARK because we believe people should be able to experience ARK in their own way, but playing on our official network means that broader changes are made across the board. Being able to facilitate balance changes on an individual dino level is not a small undertaking. Going forward, we will keep both PvP and PvE balance in mind as we work on future content and are identifying ways to provide a unique and balanced experience for both. IDEAS FOR NEW CONTENT / TLC What a cool idea! There's so much more to explore in the ARK universe. We are excited about new content coming for ARK and look forward to sharing more information as the dust settles. WIPING OFFICIAL SERVERS We try to avoid wipes at all cost. We realize our fans have poured many hours into their survivors and would hate for that progress to be thrown away. At the same time, we do understand the rush that players get from starting out fresh and building up. We have experimented with new game modes and different types of servers in the past and will continue to try new ideas. A widespread wipe is not something that's currently planned or being considered. If you're interested in playing on a format that wipes regularly, try out our ARKpocalypse servers! They wipe once a month. Mod Community Updates! We are happy to announce new additions to our Sponsored Mod Program roster on May 1st! ARK Eternal First up we have a mod that many have enjoyed for quite some time. ARK Eternal is a popular overhaul mod that adds new variations of creatures and ruffles the gameplay landscape of ARK, there is a lot to do in this mod and it greatly extends the progression of the game. ARK Settlements ARK Settlements is an interesting mod that aims to add city management elements to ARK. It's still in early development but shows a lot of promise. Build settlements, gathering resources, and make the ARK feel a little more alive. We believe this mod will make a great addition for singleplayer and low population servers especially. Dino Patrol Dino Patrol is a mod we've seen before. This utility mod lets you set up patrol route and procedures for your creatures. At least one of us may have used this mod to set up a dimorphodon tornado. (Yes, it was awesome ?) Evolution Event! Survivors on all platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from Friday the 3rd of May at 1 PM EST until Monday the 6th of May at 3 PM EST. All Official Servers across each platform will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes: 2x Harvesting Rates 2x Taming Rates 2x EXP Rates That's it for this post!

arrows19 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Why not add fresh servers with longer than a month to build up so survivors can compete when the fresh servers are added to the regular group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae12 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hello, console is dying and I hate it. I love this game but I don’t have enough money to buy a pc.

Yeah completely unplayable on Xbox. apart from that issues you mentioned there is also the gamebreaking issue of the game constantly crashing in SP on any map and that the game don't even save. If you touch the saveworld command that also results in a crash 90% of the time. Been like that for months now and all SP players on Xbox that I know have just quit the game completely. ( One X seems to not be affected by the saveworld issue ) They paid for a game that WC broken completely and don't want to ( or know how to ) fix. The game was in a better state during EA than it is now. Edited April 30, 2019 by Wikus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkP1 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Regarding the managarmrs and balance, I think the nerf was too much for both PvE and PvP. While I agree they seem OP for PvP because one person can do so much damage alone, we should take into account no one had built defenses with them in mind. Manas aren’t as hard to defend against as they may first seem, but the older/traditional defense measures are not effective. This is part of the game, and nature of survival. I feel that tribes didn’t spend enough time experimenting with different defense strategies for anyone to make an accurate assessment of where the mana’s effectiveness should stand. Let’s take into account that most of the complaints came from large established tribes that have developed bases that were secure against the traditional raids. Suddenly, with a new dino with new capabilities they were no longer secure and new vulnerabilities emerged, but wasn’t that the point? I believe the community is innovative and would discover better defense methods. We shouldn’t let large tribes that have grown lazy at coming up with new strategies and tactics cause a great new dino to become useless in PvE and PvP raids. This isn’t a new issue, from the introduction of wyvern and tames like Rock Elementals, players have complained of new dinos being too OP. These things tend to work themselves out when players are left to overcome new challenges. I feel that the mana nerf may have been a bit premature, and the “team” should consider giving the mana back some of its power. Otherwise, what use is it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubchub2020 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) There is already a single player setting that adjusts the game for sp. Why couldn't there be a setting for pve that just unnerfs everything? Edited April 30, 2019 by Chubchub2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vatanic Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Would honestly love for classic pvp for console to come out soon. Official is all just bigger tribes fighting other big tribes. And official (small tribes) is getting boring. We need something new and fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is the worst, every time i try an start playing on a server people are incredibly annoying and it completely impossible. Also, i love scorched but lately i cant even play on my personal ark it crashes within 10 minutes and i have lost several mutated thylas from it.
