ARK Digest Questions!

[MrPiBbUnLeAsHeD]

What will be done to address people spamming foundations and pillars to claim land they never use. I think a radius around structures is needed but it is abused and it ruins the game

[TylerTheDoctor]

Enough talk about new stuff, let's talk about something already in the game

Rare Mushrooms in particular, in their description it states "You feel lightheaded after just touching this. Ingesting it would be dangerous." However, as many people have noticed, after eating one nothing happens, or at least.. nothing noticeable.

So the question is, do you plan on adding a dangerous effect to these mushrooms, or is there already one that we have easily missed that you'd like to reveal?

Compound Crossbow please add

Mortars to be used to bomb/shell bases in sieges please...

Will you ever add proper eyefinity support? (I think nvidia is nvidia surround)

If you will not. Will you at least fix the scaling issue so that it is playable on an eyefinity setup at a regular 16:9 resolution

Hi there

ive heard rumours that when the game is fully released that all the servers will be reset so we have to start again. 

Is this true??

thanks

chris

[TylerTheDoctor]

Since there are clearly a lot of suggestions on this at the moment, what is your response to the idea of Server Queues?

[ChiOokami]

Will Ark receive Steam Trading Cards?

[Gelantious]

Wanted to ask about Vulcan, if there's any plans to add support for this?

[hassassindk]

will we get primitiv+ singelplayer on the xbox??

[fitzsteve]

Any news on VR support?  New Oculus drivers are fantastic and really think Ark would be a great title to see in the Oculus Store.  You're missing sales here!

I love this game and have put many hours into so far. I feel taming time / kibble progression could use some adjustments. For example yesterday I had collected enough dodo eggs to tame a 150 pteranodon (Xbox Official The Center Map) so I collected my supplies and went out to find a level 120-150. I found a 140 and started the process. I cleared the area of any dinos that would cause a problem dropped the kibble and narcotics on my unconscious pteranodon and... did the dishes, thats right. 1 hour and 35 mins of checking the torpor every 15 mins doing nothing but standing still in the game. To fix this issue there are a few solutions.

1) Reduce the taming time (less time sitting around doing nothing)

2) Reduce the frequency of narcotics spamming. (The ankylosaurus for example is like this. It allows us to secure it with spike walls and leave it to do other things, maybe another tame)

3) Add a higher tier food or an item that increases the rate in which food is consumed. (it can be rare or expensive to offset the power of it).

The taming time for a 150 Quetzal with kibble is 5 hours 53 mins, with setup time / tranquilizing time your looking at a full days work if you want to see it through. I like tames to be challenging so they fell earned but time is not a challenge its a limiting factor that creates very boring lulls. 

 

Kibble progression has a few strange progressions Carno -> Trike, Quetzal -> Dimetrodon. Trike -> Carno would make more sense. Quetzal eggs are used for Gigantosaurus, and Mosasaurus adding Dimetrodon into this category doesn't seem right.

Could we get a throwable pike? It would break forever when used in melee like a spear. It would also do less melee than a spear. BUt would do more damage than any other primitive projectile and ignore armor(obviously ballista would be more powerful than it.)

Can u add to the logs the info about tribe alliance joining and leaving and who makes the request or disarms the alliance.

One of our alliances was dissolved and nobody knows how or who did it. 

 

[Oks]

Will the market within the game ? I want to trade their dyno , which is brought out of the egg , but I do not want to cry in the chat. I want a market where I just can not buy anything of what I need and sell what I do not need . Sorry for my English.

[Oks]

Будет ли рынок в игре?

[Oks]

Я хотел бы видеть область PVP и PVE на одном сервере.

 

 

[Oks]

Будет ли когда нибудь открыт сервер с автоматическим сносом построек? Очень не нравится сервера, где много мусора.

Can you tell us anything about the queen ant?

Hey guys, while holding down the select button (which would open the map) on the Xbox controller you get the selection wheel, the option to select the map again is pretty useless. 

Could you change that option to First Person Riding?

[SparkiTV]

Hello, dear developers,

I wanted to ask sometimes, why no Difficulty Mods on TheCenter function?
Could one repair this perhaps, so that these are operational again? 

[TR-8R]

 1/ Can you turn the map ( M button ) into some sort of notebook that included map page inside of it ( press " right " to turn to another page " ) .

I am quite a forgetful person and sometime forgot the kibble recipe , it is quite annoying that i have to open the wiki website to look for it .

Also add the feeling of being a survivor , you live your life on a dangerous island , write down your experience , perhaps you will follow the path of those infamous survivors before you .

 

2/ We have poisonous dino , we have poisonous cave , can we have poisonous plants too ?

[QuietTwig]

Whatever happened to Therizinosaurus? I thought it was supposed to come out last year, have you forgotten it?

[Zanthriin]

Will creatures be able to interact with the environment? Like say, a titanomayra being able to stick itself onto a tree, or maybe a sarco hiding underneath a bunch of lilies.
