Wildcard Admin StudioWildcard Posted September 11, 2020 Wildcard Admin Share Posted September 11, 2020 In this edition of the Community Crunch, we’ll be teasing you with some juicy TLC 3 info along with giving you an overview of what we’ve been focusing on lately behind the scenes. The much-awaited TLC is getting closer and we’re excited to get some of our re-imagined favorites into your hands soon! Download the high-resolution verion We’ll be reconceiving these veteran ARK friends via visual and mechanical upgrades that will introduce new elements of gameplay. Much appreciated community feedback drew our attention towards the Woolly Mammoth (among others) and it’s time for this relic of the Pliocene epoch to make a new debut heralded by the beat of a new buff bound to add more utility to emergent gameplay, and more! We hope that drums up some enthusiasm Live Game Update Whilst we’re ramping up work on the TLC 3 patch and our climactic Genesis Part II expansion, we frequently pivot to Live Ops and seek to achieve fast iterations on fixes for bugs and exploits. One of our biggest priorities at the moment is the ongoing investigating and work done on server reliability. Over the last few weeks we have seen an uptick in player reports regarding their servers not listing, not being able to join them, high ping, being unable to transfer, “ghosting”, or offline. While the cause of this downtime may vary, sometimes it is the result of a malicious attack. Our engineers are working with our partners on technical implementations to further improve stability and mitigate these attacks. We will be rolling out changes to all platforms in the near future which will have a serious impact on resolving these issues. Recently we’ve addressed issues that include fixes to various exploits including: invulnerability related to characters and dinos, pincode bypassing, further checks between server and client in relation to shooting, and abuse of dino mechanics. We’ve also implemented Level Design changes across varied maps with the purpose of filling in holes that may have allowed players to gain entry into unintended playable areas of the map. A fair environment is important to us and to the health of the game, we’ll continue to address these issues as they arise. We plan on continuing to improve the player experience with updates like our recent Quality Of Life and Balance patch in the near future...speaking of Quality Of Life, how does an EVO Event sound? EVO Event Survivors on all platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from Friday the 11th of Sep at 4 PM EST until Monday the 14th of Sep at 3 PM EST. All Official Servers across each platform will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes: 2x Breeding/Maturing Fan Art Dropping some ARK work by RoboticHat717 The Featherlight Family by bluedragonark ARK Survival: Alpha Raptor by Valonia-Feline Supa Pink Dodo by DakotaAnnArt Desert Watchtowers by ThePilgrim Speedpaint: Forest Camping by Earthsong9405 Small Mockup by EdiPotter We hope you’re all keeping safe and well. While working remotely has been somewhat of an adjustment period for us, we’ve now hit our stride and look forward to sharing more of what we’ve been grinding away at very soon!

KnochenKater Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Thank you Wildcard for the EVO!!! and the TLC looks dope! love the saddle!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalana Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Quote we’ll be teasing you with some juicy TLC 3 info proceeds to give practically no info on the TLC In all seriousness, that mammoth does look cool but I feel like a lot of creatures need it much more than the mammoth as it's still used and I haven't really read any complaints about it. The plesio and mosa strike me as majorly needing a TLC, especially the plesio's PS2 textures. Edited September 11, 2020 by Thalana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddotjellytot Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 See @StudioWildcard Look how happy the community is now giving Evo for breeding maybe consider running the evo events during the week. Say week on week off. Some peeps like myself are kinda stuck at work during the Evo events Maybe some more info on the current progress of QOL, the list seems a little dated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronto could use a bit of love too, they just look dumb and clumsy Also the Tuso where it turns the other way for no reason when attacking a target, would be better if it was made manual so you can hit the C key to turn its tentacles towards the target, if something creeps up behind you, his C again to turn it back around to the new target. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eikel Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 On Ark Genesis Single Player, there is a bug which causes certain types of dinos not to spawn. These creatures do not spawn in: Bog Biome: kaprosuchus, sarcosuchus, baryonyx, piranha, coelacanth Snow Biome: castoroides, otter This bug is occurring on PS4, XBOX and PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allanballan Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Ccol new Mammoth but seriously there are lots of other dinos that could use a tlc more. The Quetzal especially. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeleneVerona Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Nicely done Wildcard, thank you for the information on the TLC and server reliability focus. This will be greatly appreciated by new and old players alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattj Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 While I’m thankful for 2x breeding, the fact that we switch players have to settle for the old 1x everything else during the week is discouraging. All they would have to do is alter the rates like they used to but they can’t even be asked to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinobros2000 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 So 2 seat mammoth saddle and war drums maybe? And some knock back attack over the sholder?? A large AOE Ground stomp? Exciting... also thanks for the breeding this is one of the things I think the community wants most and I enjoy better breeding very much. On my SP world I have it set to 50, while that is for reasons have very limited time, and it dosent offline do anything. Can’t wait to hear more about QOL, Gen 2, and more : ) ?

Dinobros2000 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Also I hope meg is the other one, personally I think it really needs it and carno recently got a QOL that for me made it a lot more useful anyway. Thx. Also amazing artwork and creations to all Fanart makers it is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryak Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Yaaay for the EVO event but what if next time there would be a notification at least 8 hours prior to the effective date? You know imprint timer .... now all dino I currently raise lost their last imprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they even implemented the 2x harvesting to base rates for harvesting and XP on Xbox\PS4 like they said was happening because on Xbox I don’t see any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodoRaptor Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 That looks cool! I'm a bit sad they couldn't do more, but I understand. I may need to tame one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
