ARK Digest Q&A!

[Parn]

Any plans to fix official servers ? Some are down atm, and 127 is bugged and kick all every 5 minutes ?

Any plans to improve customer service ? A lot of loyal players are unable to play and no one is answering tickets for days ?

[Loganecho]

Last question, how much more will be done with aquatics. I know alot of other players would love to be able to create larger moving rafts, fishing, baiting.

I would love to swe an ocean spire and a sea boss.... perhaps the krakan?

[lucarmax]

I know that we are still ways away from a reset biome but will it have an abundance of scorpions and possibly dung beetles?

[NagohShan]

Will underwater bases be limited to the tek tier or will there be options at the current tier level?

[weev]

Have you guys thought about maybe adding a backpack item  maybe to reduce the weight of specific resources?

[Troncy89]

I was wondering what mods (if any) are coming to xbox one in the near future

[Shrev]

Will there be a fix to underwater fog?

Will we ever be able to carry lystro's?

Will there be a crafting station that could make varied structure sizes, like 2x3(6x the amount of normal cost), 4x7(28x the amount of normal cost), 10x10(100x amount of normal cost)? 

[J]

Any new rideable fliers incoming?

[J]

when is the queen ant coming?

[Zadira]

Will the amazing giant T-Rex make an appearance at Pax Prime in Seattle? 

[ZestyPelican]

Is it possible that you could make wild dinos attack each other. It's weird to see sabers with raptors and rexs with spinos. Even megapiranhas don't attack anything wild but if its tamed then it will, seems kind of funky.

[EchoingTime]

When will primitive + come out for xbox one? It looks amazing and I think it would be great for ark  

[OzzBozz69]

Could a dino grouping system be added to make it easier to get your dinos to follow, as in place a set of raptors in group 1 and you can whistle follow for that group

[ArrowHedd]

Can wild herbivores attack large carnivores on sight rather than after they get attacked?

[IMakeThemShoes]

Will the tether distance between players on non dedicated servers ever be increased or take out completely? Makes it very hard to do things within 250m of eachother. Thanks!

Hey Survivors,

If you've got a question, suggestion or just a general statement you'd like us to check out for the next ARK Digest - this'll be the place to do so! Each Digest, we'll select some from here and discuss or answer what has been asked/said. Keep in mind we won't be doing anything on ETAs, so avoid them if you can .

Thanks,

Jat

Jat, 

When can the Hardcore players get the Center map to play on? Its not as fun to play on a core server than it is on a hardcore server. Or even bring back the original hardcore servers that were "borrowed". There are heaps of players that are not playing ark because of this.

[Mikelemagne]

Well, new digest. Hi. Same questions as last time. I honestly don't have any others.

1). Will there be an Industrial Revolution technology tier? It was such an important era in human history, especially in technological, military, and civil evolution, that it really seems weird that it is not represented. I mean, the steam engine alone reduced ocean travel from several months to about a week.

2). Have you guys thought about an external narcotic delivery system? For example, candles and/or "poison" gas? For example, you could make a Narcoberry candle that would apply torpor in an area. Or you could create "Narcoberry gas" and apply it in larger area. If you wanted, you could even have it apply to other berries, with each one having some sort of area effect.

Sorry for the long questions, just curious.

[EsmeraldaSky]

Will we be able to use Angler Gel In torches( hand held or standing) to have them work under water?

[KetchupDoc]

Will the center map be getting the new biomes? Is war paint coming on the consoles, or is it a problem with coding or copy rights?

[Thylacoleo]

Will the Leeds and SS be tameable?

[Mystalias]

When will uploading at the obelisks be coming online? (It was mentioned in a previous digest, bringing it up again)

[BushKillFalls]

Will the Xbox whitelist be fixed soon and the back door closed with maybe permissions to protect Player Dedicated Servers against Griefing. Also what about any admin being able to send the Quit Game command because it doesn't seem to work though Save World does.

Even a simple Permission that anyone with Admin permissions can approve a new player to join the Server and remembering players added to the ban list when the server restarts would be an incredible improvement in protection.

[Nick256]

2 questions for the Ark Digest!

1) Will there be more Primitive official (vanilla primitive or Primitive Plus) servers added for The Center? There are only 2 at the moment which is not enough!

2) Will you add a primitive server that covers the NA-west region? We get really bad ping for the current primitive servers.

3) Will you guys fix the server rubberbanding issues anytime soon? That is major factor that may ward off potential players, happened to my friends.

I hope you are able to answer!

Thanks!

[drago313131]

will be a other species of human like neanderthals?

and also will be a gorgonopsid and placeria

 

[SQUISHYxBANANA]

OK so! I play on both XBOX and PC. So my question is:

 

Have you all heard anything else about us being able to host a Dedicated XBOX Server on our pc?

 

With everything that has recently happened it would have been nice to be able to grab our saved player data for our xbox servers just like you can on the PC. I just ordered a second XBOX to test with. Hopefully Microsoft can see the benefits of us hosting our own.
