Administrator Jatheish Posted July 18, 2016 Administrator Share Posted July 18, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjohnson Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have a question. When am i going to be able to play this game on ps4 if ever. all the date changes and last minute we are not adding survival of the fittest is really getting annoying. So when are we getting a definite release date and what are they going to do to stick to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator GP Posted July 18, 2016 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted July 18, 2016 Would you be able to put a setting in, maybe in the INI, so that I can disable the flee mechanic completely for tamed dinos? So that I can have "fight to the death" scenarios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighDBoom Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 1. Are you going to fix the Northwest Cave Loot Cache ? Its level 40/55 Loot which means Mastercraft stuff or even higher. Map: TheIsland . Chest is spawning inside of the walls or roofs. 2. Can we reroll Blueprints in the future ? Or putting them into the grinder and get als some materials ? 3. Are you working on the ORP Servers ? We need a lower demolish timer and we need to loot always the loot bags please. 4. Are you going to fix the loot from the New Snow and Swamp Cave ? Its completely unrewarding. The loot table is broken you will get more primitive items in red chest than everything else. even stone hatchets. 5. Can we have infected dodo kibble which gives you certain plus and minus (more movementspeed for bird etc.). Then people might think to get a disease farm. People need to be care and use the gasmask in their own farm. Some research or experiments would be nice 6. When are we getting the sleep mode ? less animation = less lags. dinos which are not used for a while would be automaticly go sleeping. (Last year you annouced it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahlea Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Is there a chance we'll be able to drag and (with flyers) pick up unconscious dinos in the future? I would love the ability to move my tame to a better location - for instance when it's been downed in the water xS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahlea Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Any chance the Oviraptor might change to autonomously collect eggs storing them in its inventory, or that there'll be another dino that does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinJapman4 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Primal Survival Questions: 1. Will there be a commo-rose for each creature species, and will the AI react to those vocalization? For example, if a Rex player were to roar at a smaller species of carnivore who was wandering around a nesting spot, would the AI run away or continue to disregard the Rex until the player chose to attack as they do now? Would there be mating calls, "pack order" calls, etc? 2. Since humans are required to drink water, will there be a "drinking" action similar to a "feeding" action for creatures? Or will drinking not be a thing in Primal Survival? 3. Will there be breeding for the currently non-breedable species when this game mode launches, or will that be added later on? On top of that, will there be a change to the breeding mechanics for Player-AI breeding? Currently, AI creatures (tamed) have to be set to Wander while being boxed in with each other, and then both parents can just disregard the egg/baby entirely after mating while the human player takes care of it. 4. Will all currently added creatures (up to the Titanosaur or Allosaur when it is added) be playable, or will they come out in tweeks and updates to the game mode? 5. Will the host distance radius be removed in the future, in regards to non-dedicated multiplayer sessions? Or extended significantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMonyx Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Can we get a buff to the raptor so that its not useless at the start anymore. Ever since the nerf its not worth having Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMonyx Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Any chance we can get an upgrade to the grapple in the tek tier, either a grapple with durability instead of a one time use or a wearable gears similar to the "Attack on Titan" ODM gear?

MiniMonyx Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Can Alarm tripwire-traps have an option to set near by dinos that are on neutral to aggressive towards the person or creature that set it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falitian Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Despite the performance issues, any chance of getting VR Support for the HTC Vive, or at the least enable it as launchable through Steam VR so we can at least start testing/optimizing our rigs?

MiniMonyx Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Paintable and re-usable parachutes with a optimized "Banana" shape that allows faster and more accurate movement would be a great addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dice Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Since you don't like giving ETA's there have been a lot of stuff asked for repeatedly. (Questions/topic below) Character customization,Sleeping animations, Desert Biome, Dino Roars with AI (such as T-Rex's having a roar that scares away other Dino's) Is there one thing (without giving an ETA) that you can say is almost done/getting the most attention?

rororoxor Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Will we be able to use weapons while riding creatures? Maybe we could set the creature to auto-run and switch to weapons mode while on its back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMonyx Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Can Blueprints for items such as "Water Jars" and "Medium Crop plots" and structures such as "Metal Sign" and "Metal Wall" have some kind of discount so that its worth keeping those blueprints around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imminent Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 The current taming effectiveness formulae is supposed to grant up to +50% of the wild dino's level based on the taming effectiveness achieved. However the game currently always knocks off one level, even at 100% taming effectiveness or 99.9% effectiveness. You end up getting odd numbers off of perfect tames, such as 179, which I find immensely unsatisfying. Is there any chance you could adjust this so it is possible to attain the full 50% of the wild dino's levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10,000 Jelly Doughnuts Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Are bats and spiders going to get some love? Nobody tames them, because they are useless. Maybe they should get kibble for a faster tame, and bats should get a saddle. Alpha Spinos? Are you going to add an animal that we can tame and shear for pelt? Maybe Hemiauchenia, which is an extinct llama/alpaca. Maybe it could spit, like camels do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendoza Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Can we get a right click to put away the telescope while we're using it on a mount ? When pressing E to get off a mount, can you stop it automatically opening up a chest / turning on furnaces / turning on Plant X's "sleep function".... Solving this would be to have a separate dedicated dismount button or hold down E long enough to dismount. (help accidental fall deaths from flyers too ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Since we (on Xbox) can't paint dinos with a brush. Can we get an option to paint Dino regions like admin commands do? Maybe with a special brush, crafted from 10 of each dye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Could we (again on Xbox) get an option to see 'extended HUD info' quickly? By just holding LB, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisdavid42 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Have you considered a higher level machine that can produce jerky at a better rate than the preserving bins? Have you considered introducing any variety to the current build levels (glass, metal, wood. stone) that could increase creativity and customization? In a previous Ark digest you stated that you would make the undersea rocks buildable. Will that be included in any upcoming updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how about not letting non tribe members destroy them. I can't count how many times people I've been helping have tapped "E" and destroyed my flyer's transponder node -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zadira Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I am looking forward to the official release of Primitive Plus on July 28th. I am wondering how it will work for the three Official Primitive Plus servers and also those who have private servers set up already with the mod. Will the current servers be obsolete or will just downloading the new content work like usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
