soggywetfish Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 So is the server not going up at all today then, or can we do something where we only go up to a certain engram stage decided by DarthArkPrime as it would be good to get used to the map and stuff and all the new rates applied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm this? Primitive+ release on Xbox One Don’t worry! Primitive+ will still be releasing on Xbox One - it has not been cancelled, let’s dispel those rumours right now. It is fact coming fairly soon! Though, it is still a couple weeks away. The reason for the delay, outside of regular procedure matters (certification etc), is that we wanted to take a more careful approach with releasing this DLC due to the some of the bumps that we had run into when we initially released our first DLC, The Center onto the Xbox platform. A few of our recent patches have had significant changes which have led to some painful situations which we’re still recovering from in terms of issues that crop up post release. I know it sucks as you guys have been very passionate about playing Primitive+, we’ve seen the support all over social media and we’re truly grateful for it, which is even more reason why we want to do our best to ensure that when the DLC is made available, it does not suffer from those same bumps. We’re going to ensure this by putting it through it’s paces with more vigorous QA, and monitoring the official release on PC for any undetected issues, as well as conduct extra iteration when necessary. We are sorry about the delay, and it won’t be too long, and when it does become available, you’ll be glad we avoided the risk and hopefully we’ll have a smooth, bump, and bruise-free release!

DarthArkPrime Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 OK, well based on the information provided,we will continue to accept members to this future server. Hopefully Prim + will be released in next patch. I'm so sorry to all of you. I know your just as excited to experience this mod and my server as I am. Please just wait a little longer and we will explore these harsh conditions together when the mod launches. We have waited this long. Let's hold out a little longer. I rather see all the bugs worked out before the launch. Don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the feedback. can you explain how no fliers cuts off the underground? you cannot create ramps, stair system to compensate? I'm super pumped for this. As for the underground, there is a massive underground area that is only accessible by using fliers (or bed teleport). You can get in, but not back out really. That's probably what was being referred to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ceilings are really high. Once down there, the only way out is to tame a ptera and fly out. However,... I wonder with enough scaffolding, if you might be able to get out (not sure if there is enough room), but the resource collection is not really boosted on this server, so it would be tedious and unrealistic to try with these settings.

I typically am not on a lot and don't use a mic, so I just build small, hidden, and out of the way like a hermit in the woods. I was on a really nice PVP server where people were so kind to me, let me be, and one neighboring tribe even protected me. However if someone was okay with me not on much and talking via chat, then I would be open to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthArkPrime Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 I have had numerous requests for this. If I start the server now, the moment the mod is released, the mod would wipe the server. I can see alot of people getting upset about this. As long as those signing on understand that there is no discussion, that the server will be wiped in a matter of weeks, if even that, and the mod will be adopted without question. I know what will happen tho. People see the server up, accomplish some goals, and then ask - passionately mind you, to not wipe. As far as the map choice, it's the hard that makes it great. If everything was easy, everyone would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that damage numbers thing is awful for pvp people can see the hit markers from miles away and know exactly where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthArkPrime Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 I have been asking but noone seems to know how to sort or remove the engrams. Is the system broken for Xbox - I wish someone from designers would just lay it out on how to do it correctly. So much guess work. If I figure it out - of course I will send out a message.

Deemo627 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I would like to request the show my location feature be enabled. It would make finding your way back home a lot easier after you wander in the woods for an hour on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the "host ark settings" menu, under "more" you can turn on "only allow specified engrams". I think you will have to type the name of every engram you either want or do not want honestly not sure how it works. That seems like it would be a lot of work typing all that tho. Its weird that there's not just a primitive server option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtmorris Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Is building in caves allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthArkPrime Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 yes. building in caves is allowed. because of the no fliers rule, I am also banning suicide bases / doors. I haven't needed to make that rule since my RUST server. Very funny. **** Suicide door / base**** definition - gaining access to an other wise near impossible to reach location via death spawn / bed. For instance, build a base on top of a peak that is not accessible from the ground. There are no stairs, no rope ladders, cannot reach via traditional game mechanic methods (jumping off dinosaur etc...) An easy way to check if it is illegal is to ask the builder " Hey how the huck do you get in that awesome pimp pad on top of that peak? Answer: I like to find new ways of offing myself...today I spit in a Wild Raptors eye...I felt like a big man. Again my temporary server is up until the mod is released then I wipe it.

Columboss Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Is there any chance that the gathering rate could be raised a notch or two? Anyways,looking forward to playing prim+ on here. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthArkPrime Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Honestly, I have been watching and keeping tabs on people for the last couple days. People are screaming through levels so fast, and building great big things on this TEMPORARY server. Im not a fan on the longer grind either - but I am making it work. This is not quite a vanilla / official server setting - but I didnt want it to be impossible either. The biggest threat - if you want to call it that - is the bugs - the swarms make quick work of people. I wanna get feedback , keep it coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
