Wildcard Admin StudioWildcard Posted August 12, 2019 Wildcard Admin Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! Genesis Season Pass Last week we introduced a new chapter in the ARK saga: Genesis. By purchasing the season pass, you obtain a brand new H.L.N.A companion. Are you enjoying H.L.N.A.'s company on your adventures? Genesis will be a brand new experience for old and new players alike. Check out our live stream if you're looking for more details on what to expect! ARK Developer Live-stream ARK: Genesis Press Articles In addition to the live-stream, there have been several articles about Genesis in the press. Here's a few: PC Gamer: Everything we know about Ark: Genesis Games Radar: Ark: Survival Evolved Genesis expansion adding new dinos and a talking robot starting this December Public Beta It's that time again! With our last public beta changes live on the Official network, we've decided to propose another batch of changes for your testing. When this beta patch goes live, we'll post a thread to collect your feedback. The feedback you provide is valuable, as last time it resulted in us increasing armor penetration with the fabricated sniper and longneck above their original beta values. We'll be making some changes to caves that will impact areas where you are ONLY able to crouch. We'll be sure to share visual details noting the changes before they go live. - Mek shield debuff set to not be given on shield deactivation - Outside of Mek shield debuff reduced to 30 seconds (from 60) - Snow Owl freeze buff set to not dismount riders - Players and Dino’s are immune to the snow owl freeze for 10 seconds after being frozen - Snow Owl Encapsulate/freeze wind up changed from 1.3 seconds to 2.6 - Reduced Tek Tapejara Saddle projectile damage by 30% - Reduced Tek Tapejara Saddle projectile damage to structures by 75% - Dropped Plant Species Z Fruit weight to 10 On The Horizon Dedicated Valguero Saves & Single Player Valguero Saves The engineering team is working diligently to solve these critical issues with Valguero servers. We've been making progress and hope to have more information to share this week. XBOX Transfers and Duping Exploits Solving the exploits that have led to the recent XBOX transfer limitations are still a urgent issue that the engineering team is working on. Transfers have been limited because It's important to try and minimize the impact of duping. We also hope to have more information on transfers this week. Misc Valguero Issues There are some misc. issues related to Valguero (missing wyverns, etc) that will be patched once the more critical issues have been addressed. Primitive+ Missing Content The engineering team is close to a patch for a recent update that caused Primitive+ content to go missing. We'll have more information on this soon! EVO Event Survivors on all platforms (including Valguero) will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from Friday the 16th of Aug at 1 PM EST until Monday the 19th of Aug 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 Until next time!

Umber0010 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 as a PvE player, I'm not too fond of the snow owl changes, though considering how easy they made big creatures to tame, I do think they're fair without making the snow owl pointless. other than that though, it looks pretty good. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazookajack85 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I feel that the tek tapajara saddle has been nerfed too much in the past. Its range is almost point blank. I feel it would be better if it had more range but make each shot cost more. Like 2 to 3 shots per ele. And leave the damage as is. As for everything else looks good.

Rancor Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Who jumps to a 75% debuff on something that's been around such a long time? Just remove the saddle. With any changes that seems like a rather large amount to jump to for balancing.

FreaKtm Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 imagine if there was a thread asking for feedback on beta changes ... and they completely ignore why everyone is saying they have to live in caves ... keep the titans transferrable and focus on nerfing tapes to fix the reason ppl living in caves .... much facepalms for everyone 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAG3S Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) should make every cave entrance to be able to it least fit stegos in, no point changing just crouch only caves, and no one is going to complain if you can actually soak basses Edited August 13, 2019 by PAG3S 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the devteam recognized this and decided to go after the damage it causes instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatchawhee Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Man it sounds like PVE is being punished for PVP crap AGAIN. Wc I sure hope you will STOP nerfing fun stuff because fools of PVP. You create cool creatures then take away or so limit it to a point one wishes to avoid taming. I love this game and it is sad to say one of the worst parts of the game is the devs. You are hands off till cheating pushes you to respond then you over do it. Can you please make it up to us by some major TLC of all our old beloved dinos. Like ptdon, allo or even megladon 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowboundGem Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Why no comment in regards to all the Xbox players that have lost all their characters and progress in valguero single player. Last update cleared everyone's saved games. So many comments on it in the Xbox forum. Just checked Twitter that information was posted 6 hours ago by CED. Would be more helpful to also post this on the forums not everyone follows Twitter. Edited August 13, 2019 by SnowboundGem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostYeti Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 75% damage reduction of Tek Tape to Structures will be too much. Should be 50% - 30%. Else Tek Tapes will be too useless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please make it up to us by some major TLC of all our old beloved dinos. Like ptdon, allo or even megladon Im sorry but can you please inform me on how this in any way, shape or form this affects PVE? you guys have had 2-3 years of "FUN" on PVE servers with WCs fast responses meanwhile we have to sit here and suffer, I think its fantastic WC is finally helping us and working with us on PVP servers instead of having to think about you guys on your no fighting servers. Us PVPers have alot more to lose than your glasshouses. Please explain how any of this PUNISHES you on your beloved PVE servers. - Mek shield debuff set to not be given on shield deactivation - Outside of Mek shield debuff reduced to 30 seconds (from 60) - Snow Owl freeze buff set to not dismount riders - Players and Dino’s are immune to the snow owl freeze for 10 seconds after being frozen - Reduced Tek Tapejara Saddle projectile damage by 30% - Reduced Tek Tapejara Saddle projectile damage to structures by 75% - Dropped Plant Species Z Fruit weight to 10 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJD123 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I was really hoping for a fix to the fact that fire wyverns stopped spawning on Valguero after the last update.... or at least recognize the problem that was created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalana Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Please fix auroras on Valguero. They vanish over time and I've confirmed this with SEVERAL server owners. Either that or the command to spawn them breaks them permanently. I've addressed this in bug reports, tweets, reddit posts and survive the ark posts since the map's release and I've been told by the Valguero devs that you guys are the only ones that can correct this issue. You guys mention submitting bug reports often but it seems they go nowhere with most fixes revolving around PvP in some way. I'd be fine with just a confirmation that you're at least aware of the issue. These were a defining aspect of the map and it's a shame they're broken.

Only way I can see that being an 'impact' (i don't even want to say issue) is if you had 2 owls alternating healing. but big woop, a few 10s breaks in between healing cycles.
