January 16th: Ascension, New Mod, and a New Mod!

- Congratulations to @not a survivor and @Sudono for quickly ascending from Gen 1! They're now venturing on to our final progressive map--Gen 2! Can they beat Rockwell a third time in his prime form? - The leaderboard has been updated and little crowns have been added next to names of our fastest finishers for each map. - We apologize for the recent spam-bot incidents. Please safeguard yourself by not clicking suspicious links and we'll continue to safeguard you with tighter Discord moderation as well as having more hands on deck. Please welcome@PurelyEvolvedGaming as he joins the rank as a server moderator. 🙂
-✨Finally, make sure you're subscribed to the new game mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2693727499 ✨ The shop is currently up and running! Please feel free to make suggestions for what you'd like to see.

🌼April 5th: S-dino Mod🐣
- This weekend, transfers OUT of Svartalfheim will be open! 
- In order to make this possible, the S-dino mod will be added to The Island and Fjordur (otherwise transferring those dinos would either delete the dinos or corrupt the map!) 
- The mod is very lightweight and should not cause a significant increase to your load time on either of those maps.
- Please subscribe to this new mod at your earliest convenience: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869411055
- To clarify, this mod will not add S-dino spawns to Fjordur or The Island, but it will make it possible to bring them over from Svartalfheim.

🌷May 12th: Weekend Rates & Small Tweaks 🪹 - It's Friday and we're kicking off our Weekend Evo Event! - Rates are: 9x taming, 7x consumption, 6x XP, 15x breeding/maturation, and a 60% breeding cooldown reduction. - Rockwell trophies, reaper pheromones, and fire wyvern talons can now be sold using the "Sell" tab in our F11 shop - Non-tek mission items are now grindable on Gen 1 - The daily server restart/dino wipe time is changing. The restart will be pushed ahead to 4am PST. Reviewing activity logs suggests this will interrupt fewer people. 🙂 Svartalfheim Update - Svartalfheim will be taken down in 15 minutes for a map update. Here are the changes:

- Moved a supply crate spawn location which blocked a gas vein
- Increased Berserk Raptor damage by 25%
- Increased Berserk Deinonychus damage by 25%
- Increased Dwarven Archer damage by 25%
- Added a 20% possibility that dwarven archers shoot with fire arrows
- Increased Dwarven Warrior damage by 100%
- Increased Berserk Thylacoleo damage by 40%
- Increased Minimum Mithril ore drop quantity from dwarven warriors by 1 (now 2 minimum if it drops)
- Reduced Berserker Thyla spawn chance from 16% to 10% per Thyla spawn
- Removed Berserk Dwarven Warrior for now. Need to adjust it a lot
- Dwarven Warrior and Dwarven Archer got new armor!

Mod Proposal: Auto-Run - Interest check! A few people have proposed adding the auto-run mod. The proposed mod is small at only 2MB, which means minimal effect on our load times. It's also fully toggle-able, so you can elect not to use it if you would prefer not to. You can read more about it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=801082391

August 18th: Discord Updates 🍃

  • Happy Friday, everyone!  Weekend rates are now in effect with 12x taming, 6x XP, 6x harvesting, 3x hexagons, and 15x breeding/maturation.
  • We're changing a few things on Discord. 
  • The former ⁠suggestions channel is being phased out.  Right now, posts are only "read only".
  • A new ⁠suggestions channel is being brought in with guidelines and threads to avoid repeated suggestions and encourage more civil discourse.  Please read the pinned post for guidelines before posting: ⁠Suggestion Guidelines
  • The ⁠self-promo channel is being added.  This is a place for you to post your own creative works such as streams, channels, social media, shops, etc. so we can all support each other's creative endeavors.  Please read the pinned post for guidelines before posting: ⁠Rules & Guidelines
  • We're accepting one more Twitch streamer for our ⁠ark-streaming channel.  If you regularly stream your Threat Level Midnight gameplay, please message Otter to be added!  Our Twitch bot will automatically post on your behalf to notify others of your stream.
  • Finally, we have added a @Birthday Bot!  Right now, all it will do is post your birthday and give you the @🎉 It's my BIRTHDAY! 🎂 role for the day.  Soon it will come with a claimable birthday present in game.  Set up your birthday by typing /set in any chat channel!  You'll be prompted to choose your timezone and enter your birthday (MM/DD format).
  • Have a great weekend everyone!  To our friends on the USA west coast, stay safe with the oncoming storms this weekend!

🍂September 1st: New Kits and New Colors! 🍁 Starting after our next server restart...

  • There have been a few changes in roles:
    • Ramshackle > Survivor
    • Mastercraft > Alpha
    • Journeyman > Beta
    • Apprentice > Gamma
  • "Survivors" (players who have linked their Ark character to Discord under server-links) will now sport a yellow name on Discord and in game
  • "Alpha" donors will now have red in game/Discord names and a dragon trophy icon
  • "Beta" donors will now have blue in game/Discord names and a megapithecus trophy icon
  • "Gamma" donors will now have green in game/Discord names and a broodmother trophy icon
  • All staff members will have cyan names in game and in Discord with custom icons

  • The Patreon kits have also been revamped! Don't forget to collect your new monthly kit featuring our favorite knock-you-off-your-mount dinos
    • All donors will receive a breeding pair of TLM colored Microraptors, Beta will receive one fall-themed Thyla, and Alpha will get a fall-themed Thyla breeding pair
  • You also have weekly coins to collect in server-links

Shop News

  • All other Starter and Survivor kits have been reset
  • You will now get 7 Starter kits instead of 5
  • The shop will be updated soon with new kits for seeds and dyes for easier farming and art work--it's been a busy week, but it's happening soon!
  • The shop icon (the buff in the lower right corner of your screen) will no longer appear on Progression Maps and will only appear on Hub Maps. You will still have access to the shop on all maps, but it will be a little less clutter on your screen

Other Roles & Rewards

  • Patreon folks aren't the only one getting spiffy chat colors--we have something in the works for people who complete maps too! Stay tuned! 🙂
  • The day cycles on all maps have been reverted back to official settings Still being fixed! Give us one more day
  • We're still working out the kinks to the Birthday Bot and Birthday kits! We do have a couple of you on standby for a birthday kit raincheck--we haven't forgotten!
  • We are also working with a new hopefully non-awful decay plugin to automatically remove forgotten bases while awarding dedicated players with more decay time. It's still in the works, but we will keep you updated!

Belated Congratulations

  • Congratulations to...
    • @misty, @Moonybliss, and @Tarl for defeating the Overseer on Alpha difficulty! They're on their way to sunny Scorched Earth!
    • @Unga Bunga, @Borax, @Darg, @Grug, @PinkuNoZo, and @SpiderInAJar for defeating the Master Controller on Gamma difficulty! Now they're setting in to Genesis 2 for the final leg of their progression!
    • And a special congratulations to @Saul Goodman! In addition to being an amazing admin on this cluster and a good friend to those who have gotten the chance to know him, he's also our very first player to defeat ALL alpha bosses, concluding with his victory over Master Controller earlier this week! He also reached the max player level--205--and won the Mjolnir hammer! He may be a little scarce these next couple of weeks as he moves out of state, so please send him well wishes! Congratulations, Saul!
  • The leaderboard has been updated to reflect all of these accomplishments. If you were skipped or you notice a mistake, please send a message to @Otter. https://www.tlmgaming.net/leaderboard

Happy September, survivors, and have a great month!
