Common Name: Leech Species: Haementeria Laetus Time: Holocene Diet: Sanguinivore Temperament: Passive-Aggressive Wild It is difficult to be angry with Haementeria Laetus, despite its rather terrible nature. The creature has practically no intelligence, and just attaches to any nearby living flesh in an attempt to drain that creature’s blood. Removing Haementeria requires precision bladework, or access to an open flame. Both of these can be dangerous to the host as to the leech itself. Once Haementeria attaches to a host, it drains blood at a rapid pace, and the host experiences hunger, losses of health, and lowered stamina. Some haementeria are also carriers for a dangerous disease I’ve dubbed ‘Swamp Fever’, which persists permanently beyond the leech’s own lifespan. Few creatures on the island are transmitters for this disease, and it can ultimately be cured with a rare medicine. Domesticated While Haementeria is not intelligent enough to be tamed, and does not provide a resource any tribe would need in large quantities, it is always useful to keep a few around for antidotes. When processed properly, Haementeria venom can be made into a powerful antivenin. BattlEye We are excited to announce that we have taken our stance against cheaters and hackers one step further by enabling BattlEye Anti-Cheat system on the ARK as a defense tool against cheaters! BattlEye will be run on all Official Servers, and the new executable to properly play on Official Servers is ShooterGame\Binaries\ShooterGame_BE.exe, which we’ve updated the Steam Launch options to include. If you choose to launch ShooterGame.exe directly, you will be redirected to ShooterGame_BE.exe if you connect to any Official Server running BattlEye. If you wish to run your Unofficial Server with BattlEye, you can do so with the following launch option: We have a zero-tolerance policy for the use of 3rd party programs in ARK: Survival Evolved and will continue to work on Anti-Cheat measures to put a stop to cheating and catch those attempting to gain an unfair advantage over other survivors . All the best, Wildcard Jat & The ARK Survival Evolved Team View full article

Can we get the Dire Bear anytime soon!

Mac and Linux now support BattlEye

Ehhh I just don't find it that big of a deal, I mean at least the leech looks like it belongs. Surprised you haven't brought up the dragon, king kong, broodmother, or the dodorex if your problem is with non-prehistoric creatures being in the game. Everyone is entitled to an opinion I just wanted to better understand yours. Personally, I appreciate all the work the devs put in to the game since it is after all their job and something they obviously love to do. It just seemed kinda crappy that you dissed their work, since everyone should know by now that it is impossible to make everyone happy.
