We are currently working on a major update for The Center, which includes numerous fixes for visual issues, polish, level design, and bugs, such as an issue with Pyromane Breeding on servers, the inability to build in some spots around the map, and the unsupported items issue.

Many of these fixes have been queued up in advance, but due to maintaining cross-platform compatibility and certification requirements, we had to wait to release them. Now that the release is out the door, we’ll be working on getting this patch out next week.

“Cannot Download. 3 Unsupported Items.” - If you're experiencing this issue, we have a quick workaround available until the patch is released:

1. Download your character from the cloud onto an Island
2. Transfer your character directly to The Center server of your choice

Note: This issue can occur when going via the cloud, so make sure you’re doing a direct transfer.

We’ll be monitoring reports for new issues and solving them as they come in! And, as always, we will continue to monitor official server capacity with a view to adding new servers if needed.

Thanks again for all your support. We hope you enjoy the new content!

Conquest servers are being introduced to ARK: Survival Ascended by Snail Games. Conquest is a new PvP player experience for PC players which focuses on large-scale PvP while avoiding the problem of mega tribes. Increased rates will allow tribes to set up and establish themselves quickly and enable them to rebuild after potential losses instead of being wiped completely. The official Conquest servers will start on June 13th!

If you need any support during the Conquest season, join the Conquest Enforcement's Discord.

• 5x XP, Harvesting, Taming, and Breeding (imprint, maturation, hatch/gestation)
• 0.5x Mating Interval
• Tribes are set to 50 players max
• Tribe alliances are allowed
• Servers have a maximum player count of 75

Great feedback.

[GottaStayGone]

We need more center maps, or a timer to kick inactive players. People are just sitting on center afk for days keep pop high and others off map.  There’s also an issue since the update that center pop is 60/70 but says it’s full when you try to join.

love the colorful art & great community crunch thank you wildcard ?

[Coyal]

I enjoy your game , when I can get in , pve island 400 servers ,scorch 170pve servers eventually, center 74 with 2 modded 26 expires on....

Is this a sign of things to come if people can't play and sit in a broken que system you get negative feedback/ reviews. Just looks like you've lost faith in game and trying to penny pinch with what's left causing more to leave.

Scorch is still broken wyverns force you through the ground multiple times I've died and lost gear to this and Dino's, to release another map with even stating you knew were issues but crossplay fault, which you forced on us.

Good luck WC mods are not going to save your game when you ? on your community with every release.

Gripe done, cause after 3 hours manually trying to get on ,on my Saturday morning can finally play.

[arkark]

Please, if you not planning in releasing new EU-PVE-TheCenter servers (as they are 70/70 during all day, despite they appear as 60/70 or so, the servers thrown a server full message when you try to join), at least make a reliable way to tame pyromanes in scorched for all of the ppl that have pay the fantastic tames mod, as we are feeling scammed cause we payed for something we arent able to enjoy.

Make them spawn in places near water, or let us use the canteen or something on them...

When are we gonna get the update that lets us put custom skins on mannequins?

 

[darcek]

WC was always exceling at promoting pride stuff, never at fixing bugs.

As for the lion un Flambé.. really WC? really??

This DLC is quite literally a copy and pasted dressed up version of the "Shadowmane" creature from their old game ARK: Survival Evolved. Same 3D model, same textures, same animations, same mechanics like a stacking DoT bleed, only this time it spawns everywhere & it's on fire. You can go buy McDonalds, a cup of coffee, or a bazillion other fully-fledged games for $5 instead of supporting this blatant cash grab garbage.
got catbaited
lol Wildcard wants my card again

[Alysson]

Guys, please fix autojoin or remove it. Been 6 hours waiting on it, just to find out it's not working. And then had to keep pressing to go back and then to return to server screen to keep trying again. Seriously, try for yourselves and see, it's not fun.

Also, now the servers are like 64/70 and still saying they are full. Before it was 70/70 so it was understandable and you knew when to try or not, now we are completely in the dark when to join.

Btw, that red thing is a rex or a wolf? Red ranger has a rex, I can see ears and arms too long for a rex ?

That is the Red Rangers T rex zord.

Look at the image above and look at the picture here, what is the difference?

ohhh I see now, thank you. Comparing both pics it's just the size, cause it's more tall and thin, which gives the perspective the arms are longer (even if they reach the same points). Could also be the position since it's not bending the legs, or can be just the picture. We will see when they show us, I hope it looks like a rex.

[SpeedyRunner]

A crossover? Why? Just... Why? Your game is too buggy for you to be doing all this money grubbing! Please, focus on the players and your game Snailcard!

While I was meatrunning earlier, I realized I was literally genociding all the rainbow dinos.

I'm not sure you guys thought this one through.

Since you released the Center map I can't even get on it as all the servers are full. You are a joke.

[davetherave]

Every map you released so far is worse than the ase version,I'm glad I never paid for any of your dlc asa has to be the biggest scam in gaming history and you can tell the devs just don't care anymore.

[MiaraRMM]

Seeing Conquest with these settings is just disappointing. I play every wipe, and I love the idea of servers for medium tribes where they can fight each others. But when I see 50man size tribe with only 75 slots on server and where alliance settings are allowed, this mean it is (almost) normal x1 officials servers with better rates; not Conquest we love and play in the past. (25man with not alliance) If you feel same, give me some love in likes ;D
