Administrator Jatheish Posted June 23, 2016 Administrator Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hello Survivors, With Patch 243 we were able to unveil a new feature that will work as an ARK Notification system. Official Server players will be able to be notified when their trip-wires have been set off or their babies have hatched/been birthed via the ARK Alarm system on our Community Hub and through their own email (which you can of course use to get push notifications straight to your phone!) To get this enabled for you, all you'll need to do is make sure you're signed up to: https://survivetheark.com/ From here, ensure that your STEAM ACCOUNT is linked to your COMMUNITY ACCOUNT (or register via your STEAM ACCOUNT). And then head into your notifications menu, which you'll see on the right hand side of this menu: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/settings/ and make sure you've enabled your how you would like to be notified. Please note that this will only work if you're in a tribe! You'll get the message in the email as "ARK In Game Notification" Hope you enjoy the feature!

Omegacomet Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Thank you for this feature, is it possible for unofficial servers to have this as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenos Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Will or how is this alert notification going to function on XBox One? Will this push thru the Xbox messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILuvTheAwesomeDevs Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yay when I go to school I can feel a creeping sensation of dread whilst I wait for home time... just great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnz Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Surely it would be easier to just paste a email into tribe settings? rather than all this work around. How does it post to a URL? I've tested this a number of times now on an official server and it does not send any notifications to my email or on here Edited June 24, 2016 by Burnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtx Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Oh wow I thought someone made a forum post that my baby had been born and I'm like "wut". Is there more features planned on this? Such as "your baby has run out of food" would be really useful for me. Rather than the hatching since a lot of small dinos will die in the 5 minutes it takes to log in to the server. Very exciting to see more features on this and what else can be done for PVE users, as long as it doesn't hurt the server performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could give a 5 or 10 minute pre warning instead ? Good job WC, love your product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grognak Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So to be clear, this HASN'T reached Xbox yet? and If so, how exactly will it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna3921 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Tribe size -- how many members is required to make it be a tribe? At the start it will probably be only my son and me and we will be on our own server. We don't know if we will open it up later on for some others to join. I highly doubt that if we would and there would be no raiding or war, but for someone who wanted to build a farm, just raise dinos, take on wild dinos or explore for the fun of playing; he might be willing. I am a social person and he is borderline agoraphobic and has social anxiety. Not that he doesn't enjoy fighting when it is necessary; he does fighting/battles in other games, single and online multi-player, but he knows I'm not into that.

A Tribe can be as small as a 1-Man Tribe. Just create a tribe and your are officially a tribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loot Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 So its been asked several times...but seems to be being ignored....so I will ask again. How does this feature work with Xbox Live, since we do not have steam accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, but, is this because of a technical issue or because it would require a linking of your XBL Gamertag? I can imagine a system is possible, and I was super excited for this feature, yet it seems that one will try to figure out a work around now. You realize people who have both the XB1 version and PC version will look into a work around though I doubt they will find one?

Astroneer Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Why not making it an in-game feature for the Xbox? Sure, won't help if you're logged off, but it could help you if you're away from base and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastermat Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 It seems that it doesn’t work if an enemy player pikes the tripwire contraption. Doesn't this defeat the purpose if the only way to get the email is if someone is stupid enough to walk right over it? In PVP where stuff blows up all around, the tripwire is bound to be destroyed and no emails will be sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirectorGunner Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If only trip wire was only set off my players outside of the tribe... anyone can set them off, including yourself... it's useless like that because of the need to conserve space in game.

Thalantyr Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 How do you go about getting the notifications to your phone? I've linked up my Steam account, changed most of the settings on the STA forums. I receive notifications in my browsers but haven't got the slightest idea how to make it come through to my mobile. Do I need to download an STA app or is it done through Steam somehow? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Has anyone tested this on this forum and official servers? Are the notifications for The center always correct? Is the level and dinotype contained in each message? On private servers, unfortunately there is still an issue that about 50% of the messages sent from The Center and Scorched servers aren't correct. The level and dinotype is missing. Reporting it in this forum and as a ticket doesn't help anything...they simply ignore it. So my last hope is that the officials have this problem too, then it will get fixed some time ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cucharon Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Would be great an Ark app for the phone and receive notifications there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
