StudioWildcard Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Survivors, the countdown is almost over! On September 4th, dive into the new Aberration Ascended for ARK: Survival Ascended and explore fresh challenges. For those with Bob's Tall Tales, the Steampunk Ascent expansion is ready to take you even further into the unknown. Download in full resolution Launch Date: 4th of September Time: Later in the day US Schedule -- we'll have a more accurate timeframe on release day! Rates: We'll be increasing the rates for Aberration Official Servers to be equivalent to our 2x evolution events (so 1x servers get increased to 2x, and non-1x servers get a +2 increase on their rates), and this will run for the first two weeks of Aberration's launch And a quick update on some of the different projects we've been working on: AMD FidelityFX Frame Interpolation: This is working on all platforms, across all hardwares. So with the Aberration launch, players can expect to see an approximate 80% performance gain on consoles and PC (assuming they weren't already using frame generation). Unreal Engine 5.4: The upgrade work is mostly complete. However, we're still putting it through our internal QA processes as there are a lot of changes that we need to make sure are stable before we can release this out to the wild. We're currently targeting sometime between October 15th and November 15th as the launch window for this update. Aberration Ascended is more than just a map— it’s a complex ecosystem filled with dangers and beauty. Its treacherous landscape of eerie caves and intricate biomes will be yours to explore. Additionally, the free community-voted creature, Yi Ling, will join your ranks. This agile, wall-climbing raptor brings a deadly edge to your survival strategy with its razor-sharp quills and ability to adapt to many situations. Bob's Tall Tales will expand once more with Steampunk Ascent, an expansion that takes you beyond the underground chaos of Aberration and into a world where gears, cogs, and steam power reign supreme. This paid expansion is free for all current Bob's Tall Tales owners, offering an exhilarating mix of innovation and adventure. Meet Cosmo, the web-slinging shoulder pet with a knack for getting you out of tight spots, and partner up with Sir-5rM8, your indispensable automaton companion, as you traverse the mechanical marvel of Steampunk Ascent. Whether you're braving the depths or exploring new heights, we cannot wait to see you thrive in this dangerously alluring and unforgiving environment! These coordinates correspond to several ratholes on The Center map that are will be fixed with the launch of Aberration. This is just the beginning, and we will continue to monitor and address more in the future. cheat spi -279227 667141 42319 2.39 20.94 cheat spi 67657 357179 1400 -39.14 -74.85 cheat spi -446406 239107 -26706 31.42 -0.83 Our partners at Snail Games are excited to announce Season 2 of Official Conquest coming September 6th! 24 servers will be launched on Friday, September 6th at 10 am PDT.

ladyteruki Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Probably that I've missed an episode, but is there going to be a airship in the BTT update ? Previous concept art seemed to imply there would be one included with Aberration's steampunk content, but I don't remember reading anything about it since, while this recap would have been the perfect place to bring it up. (I keep finding it weird that the new spider is called "Cosmo" and not "The Cosmo" XD ) Quote Me and my friend's ARK survivors living their (not) best life by ampreh It should be illegal to be as talented as ampreh... It's just not fair for everyone else. WildCard needs to commission an entire ARK comic book from them or something. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odawhing Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 On console you can't see the dinos' footsteps, I really hope that with the update you will finally be able to see them on console too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowShadex Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Should've released a trailer today instead of the launch day. It's helps with the hype. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willhale Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I just hope that many of the areas that had issues like falling through the map have been fixed. To many times did I die to an area that I would mesh through when riding a Basilisk. Otherwise I am excited for the new version of Aberration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyal Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) So it's passed cert on all platforms? Been here before then blame..... For not passing. Looking forward to it was 1 of my favorite maps, I'm really hoping enough servers it's not exactly the easiest to transfer from with a few servers added days later.

Sansa Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I don't understand why they couldn't release this this weekend, when so many of us are off work. No, instead they launch in the middle of a work week when we can't do much. Good job, WC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morikar Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Dude Cosmo looks like it'd be like a wirebug from Monster Hunter Rise. I'd be so down for it. I hope its shooting range is on the fun side and not the "pvp balanced" side... If the range is short it might kill the fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, instead they launch in the middle of a work week when we can't do much. Good job, WC. Buddy, releasing in the weekend would be absolutely stupid. Right at the moment Wildcard devs themselves are off work too. So if anything goes wrong (which isn't unlikely with updates this big), there is no one to fix it. Just stop being so pathetic and have some damn patience. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darcek Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I didnt like this sentence: "This paid expansion is free for all current Bob's Tall Tales owners" Dudes! It's not free, if we paid for it, same goes for extinction and I'm pretty sure your having another bobs tales pack for gen 1+2 plus the new map.. Your cash milking ways are appalling, at least be straight about your Pay to Win and cash grab. You trying to sweeten the blow, for asking a repaying over a product, most of use paid well above other games, is just shameful. Don't forget to push us with some Gender politics and diversity woke on the way.. Cause that’s what's important for the game and not fixing the many bugs still following us from ASE and placing copy paste textures to compensate for time.. 🤦♂️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohlea Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 "We'll be increasing the rates for Aberration Official Servers to be equivalent to our 2x evolution events (so 1x servers get increased to 2x, and non-1x servers get a +2 increase on their rates), and this will run for the first two weeks of Aberration's launch" I'm really hoping you will have enough servers up on launch to actually allow people to play while having lives outside the game. To me, this decision sounds like you're just giving the lucky few, who have the time and manage to get on in the first weeks to pillar the maps, an even bigger headstart compared to those of us who can only play in the evenings when the new servers are already full to the brim. It would've made more sense to give x2 rates to all maps except Aberration to give a consolation price to people who are inevitably left out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaangel97 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Nvidia Frame Generation and DLSS are better than AMD's choices. Please, do not eliminate them and let us choose the best options for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
