  1. ARK Official Launch Trailer! For those of you who missed us this morning on the Twitch at Gamescom livestream, we just premiered the official launch trailer for ARK: Survival Evolved! Watch it below! The past two years have been one heck of a journey for all of us. Millions of ARK players worldwide have built gigantic bases, captured and trained armies of dinosaurs, crafted armories full of weapons and eaten billions of pounds of berries. With your help, we are days away from releasing the full ARK: Survival Evolved game to the world! Come August 29th we'll be entering the next phase of our journey and exit early access. Players who have been with us throughout this early access program and were excited with the launch of each update have even more reason to be excited post-launch! ARK will continue to grow with new content at launch and beyond as we continue to have a behemoth amount of additional gameplay, creatures, and story elements in the works. The adventure has truly only just begun! With every Explorer Note you've discovered on the Island a piece of the story has come along with it. Every artifact, every apex drops, every boss battle, it has all been leading up to this moment. Now it's time to understand the bigger picture and begin to discover why every Survivor wakes up on the beach with a diamond shaped implant in their arm. Are you ready for what's in store? Will you be strong enough to take on the challenges ahead? Do you, your tribe, and your army have what it takes to reach Ascension? Only time will tell... The launch trailer also features the first in-game footage for the two newest critters to the Island, the playful Otter and the fiery Phoenix. This furry little Otter makes a cozy companion that can ride around on your shoulders and can help retrieve silica pearls for you! The flaming Phoenix bursts into fire with the heat of the desert. Operating at impossible temperatures, this legendary flyer can cook resources just by holding them. Perhaps it could even be ridden, if somehow one could acquire gear fireproof enough to withstand the flames blazing across its feathers. Lastly, we get our first look at the Tek Shield and Tek Sword in action! The sword is capable of a dash-charge attack and has armor piercing capability, while the shield can reflect incoming projectiles and bullets, and can completely stop splash damage! ARK Live Original Soundtrack! We are also very excited to announce that the pre-order for the live soundtrack recorded live at Abbey Road is now available! Watch the behind-the-scenes teaser video below. Composed by Gareth Coker, the official soundtrack album will be released August 29th via digital and streaming outlets worldwide through Sumthing Else Music Works. The soundtrack is also included in the Collectors Edition of ARK. You can pre-order the soundtrack right now! https://www.sumthing.com/p/ark/

  2. So, no customer service to all the people that help you fix the game by dealing with the issues and reporting them. All current issues will never be fixed? But we can't transfer servers to a new server that won't have the issues? Makes sense. ?

  3. So legacy won't get the DDoS protection or better transfering only the new cluster? Way to take a huge dump on the players that got you through to launch and tested your game for you. Good to know that the players that took a gamble and bought a game preview and did your testing for you aren't as important as the ones that waited until the dirty work was done to purchase the game.

  4. As we have previously mentioned in July, today marks the beginning of the process of removing our lower population ARK servers on PC, Xbox, and PS4. Here is a quick breakdown on how this process will work. Taking Down Low Pop Servers These lower population servers make up about 33% of the existing online servers, with calculations based on sustained player-count as well as popularity of game mode. These servers will be taken offline and be re-purposed for new, fresh servers that will be put up on launch day. Any existing server that is not considered a low pop server and is not taken down will become a Legacy server. Legacy servers will remain on a separate cluster from the new cluster, which means you will not be able to transfer anything between Legacy servers and the new servers. Servers Up for Deletion Below is a complete list of the servers that will be deleted come August 29th. You have from now until 12:00am EST on the 29th to move your belongings onto a server not present on this list. Please click one of the links below. They are separated by platform (PC, Xbox, and PS4). How To Move Servers If you are unfamiliar with the process, you are able to upload your items, creatures, and player through the Obelisk terminal, supply drops, as well as the Tek Transmitter. Survivors are advised to use Cross-ARK immediately to relocate their belongings onto a server that is not included in our take-down list above. Server-wide Blackout Our Official Server Network will be taken down at 12:00AM ET on August 29th and will remain down for approximately 8 hours, with our official servers coming back online at 8am ET. During this time we will be going through the process of removing all servers outlined in this post and re-purposing them into a new cluster, completely separate from all Legacy servers. The Legacy servers and all the new servers will come back online after that time. Important Customer Support Legacy Information When the current servers become Legacy servers on the 29th, we will no longer offer Customer Support to these Legacy servers. All outstanding tickets to our Customer Support team will be wiped clean on launch day, and no future tickets submitted by those playing on Legacy servers will be accepted. Going forward our Customer Support team will be focused on assisting those present on the new cluster, which will not be plagued by many of the issues that occurred during the Early Access process. Unfortunately it is beyond the scope of our operation to continue to offer support on Legacy servers at this time. Do note that this is for Customer Support only, which is the process of submitting a ticket through our support system. Legacy clusters for PS4 and for Xbox will still be receiving Ragnarok servers. Legacy servers will also receive all of the same fixes and content that the new cluster will. Allocation of New Servers We know you are all very curious about this, but we don’t have this information ready to share quite yet. What I can tell you is that we plan to continue to support all current existing game modes in some capacity, so you won’t lose access to your favourite way to play the game. In the beginning we will be mainly focusing our efforts on strictly PVP and PVE servers on all maps, but will allocate servers to the other game modes based on their popularity. Server Saves of Deleted Servers We will make the save files available as soon as we can, which will likely be sometime before Saturday. We will host these files which anyone can download and then you are welcome to re-host the save file for your own use. We'll include a link to where you can download server saves in this post when they are available. To those affected by the move, we apologize greatly. This moving process will not be easy, but it is a necessary step towards our official launch. We have learned a lot throughout our Early Access adventures. Throughout our ups and downs, you’ve stood by our side and continued to support us during our growing pains and mess ups which is why we wanted our players to have the ability to keep as much progress as they can while still moving forward with a plan that will improve the game overall. We are committed to monitoring the health of this new cluster with our new ddos mitigation and changes to the transfer system (both of which will also be present on the Legacy servers), which will no doubt improve the official online playing environment. We look forward to fostering a fair and fun community with the beginning of our brand new ARK cluster on launch day. We very much appreciate your support of ARK through its Early Access process. Xbox UWP, Rentable Servers, Crossbuy, & Crossplay! While I have you here, I have some Xbox news to share as well! Originally our plan was to go out with Play Anywhere on our launch day but unfortunately that has now been pushed back until mid-September. However I do have some exciting news to share: with the use of Xbox and Windows 10 PC Crossplay (UWP) you can host your own server without needing an extra copy of the game or a second console to do it! (Though it is important to note that you will still be able to host a Player Dedicated server this way.) If you own ARK digitally on Xbox, you get the Windows 10 PC version as well as the Xbox One X version for free and you can play with all your Xbox friends from your PC or either console. In addition, we'll be introducing rentable servers for our Xbox Survivors at that time! We'll be sure to let you all know when these additions are ready to go out to Xbox users. Our release date is rapidly approaching and we're very excited for what is about to come. We hope you are too! All the best, Studio Wildcard

  7. "we will no longer offer Customer Support to these Legacy servers" Wildcard you are truly a bunch of morons. You could of charged us Legacy players for a Ragnarok DLC and we would of gladly payed it. We would of bought DLC after DLC. Instead you, in your own %^$#&ard way, tell all Legacy players that all the hard work they have done in the past 9 months has become a burden for you and you no longer wish to support them. You have made it clear that you wish us legacy players would just go away and play a different game. The people that will buy your game on full release will be few, compared to those that have already paid for it. You could of made much more money from us, but with this one act you have just lost the majority of your player base.

  9. This is some of the Dirtiest Stuff wildcard has done (which is saying alot) They wait until 5 days before they delete the servers to present this list. Then they announce that 33% of all servers will be deleted instead of the previously announced 10%. Wildcard is one of the worse gaming companies I have come across.

  10. You are honestly telling us to transfer servers when literally 10 days ago I lost my character over a simple transfer and you guys were still not able to reply to the ticket? 10 days and it took me less to level back up to 100.

  11. Hey do you need to break youtube.com with the launch video. 10 000 views in 10 minutes. Youtube cuts away 50% of the views then 60% as the load becomes to high. The video played ok in 720p. then after a 10 minutes plays ok in 360p but less viewers per minute according to youtube. And the views just continue to come in. Big Big congratulations to the launch. Regards, Marcus and Ariana and now dubbed pro PvPer SARA.

  13. I'm so angry right now....I'm thinking I just might cancel my collectors edition and you can keep your damn game. YEARS I have put into this game. For nothing. There isn't anywhere to MOVE....you're getting rid of all the primitive servers. So I spent all this time breeding....basically WEEKS without sleep....for nothing. And you give us a week??? Less than a week?? Seriously????????? Can you even conceive how crappy this is???? Did you give any thought to this when you had those breed events??? Did you consider the time people were putting into that and now it's all for nothing. When I think of how many times I've recommended this game...now I will do all I can to spread the word how crappy this game is and how little you care about your player base.

  14. Wow, I can't believe they will no longer be offering customer support to Legacy servers. We helped BUILD this player base and your game and you are going to shaft us like that? That is pretty messed up to be honest. Shame on you Ark.

  15. So no support to legacy servers. Despite those are the people that backed you when your game was nothing and supposrted you even though you messed up so many times. One of the servers im on is on that list. I can deal with that and move to another. Nice to know that if I get a problem then I can do one as far as studiowildcard is concerned.

  16. Well, we should be used to them lying to us. Flyer nerf rework (that never came) and now this is just the latest lie. 33% != 10% of the lowest population servers. did someone at wildcard fail math?

  17. So basically you state that we will continue to receive support for legacy servers, then you say you aren't. That is kind of a big FU to the Early Access players don't you think?

  18. What the hell happened to servers would only need a few people per weeks and you would " keep the servers open for that one person "? My SE server is on here and it never has zero pop and now we all have to move? Will you allow us to xfer our non xferable items like element and wyvern talons ?

  19. Forgot to note the stats of a creature before leveling up? This tool helps to retreive the values that matter for breeding. Now you can also save your extracted stats in a library, see which creature has the best stats and view the pedigree of your pets. Sort your library to see which creatures are the best for breeding and compare which stats are inherited to the offspring. Feedback is welcome. Also I'm looking forward to see some awesome pedigrees, share yours if you got a nice breed. The latest version can be downloaded here: https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor/releases/latest

  22. So for all those who have played ark for the last 2 years, we are basically being forced to leave legacy servers and move onto the new servers because at some point there wont be any legacy servers.

  26. It was a game preview, yeah, but the time people put in it for around two years doesn't just disappear, I get the feeling that the current player base is just being pushed out little by little to move on just to accommodate the "new players" however many they are, I doubt they will be as large, long lasting and loyal as the current player base. We are still here for a reason. As for the legacy method, I think it is good for PVP because it is multiplayer-competitive, but for PVE??? not necessary at all for PVE, what for? If anything current player would be pave the way for all the new players, from a thatch house to tek is a LONG LONG WAY. I think PVE should be open for all servers PVE, let people move to new servers (the new, laggy-glitch free ones) and then wipe old, low populated ones if you want, introduce all ddos, transfer fixes and full support for all. And how about some loyalty in-game rewards? Im not talking about simple skins, since your recycle-able player base is now pissed off. Anyways, hopefully people won't move away from Ark since Destiny 2 and other games are coming back.

  28. I think what wild card are trying to say is, we have your money, now we want new players to come and give us money, so all the people who paid us your money already and helped get ark to where it is now F**k You we dont need you anymore we wont support you. Bottom line no support on servers means they are going to shut them down when they see fit as they will just become full of cheaters, Trolls etc. Also all tickets will be deleted, what about the people who have been waiting for more that 2 months to get a reply. servers i play on are not getting shut down (YET) but still think what wc are doing is disgusting. social media will be buzzing about what they are doing to customers and im pretty sure this is going to affect new sales. very very silly even as a business move. just when you think wc could not get any lower, well here you go.

  30. I have been a hardcore advocate for you guys since day one. I love this game. It has provided me countless fun and most importantly the best friends I could ever ask for. That being said Your utter lack of care for your player base is appalling. Never in my many years have I heard of a game completely cutting off their early access player in such a way. It is truly shameful and, sadly, totally expected. Just be honest with us, how long do we have before you delete everything? My most sincere apologies but as it is your perogative to crap all over your loyal and long term player base it is my perogative to make sure, in my small way, to stop people from buying your game. I vow to stand outside my local game establishments and tell anyone who will listen about the bugs, lag problems, ddos and duping, and lack of support we received during our time as your early access patrons. Maybe I was simply blinded by happiness when playing this wonderful game, but I (stupidly) put faith in you guys. This is the last straw. I hope you enjoy your title of worst video game company ever.

  32. I'm not usually one to complain. Even if my server made the wipe list then so be it. I have never posted a comment complaining on a forum ever, but this decision to not support the Legacy servers is the dumbest decision I have ever seen. The Legacy servers are the people who helped make ARK. We paid for the game just like everyone else. In my opinion the Legacy servers should receive support first. People who have been there supporting ARK since the beginning should get VIP support, not left in the dark. This is absurd.

  33. You're lucky they don't wipe every single server 100% like all other game developers do between each individual development stage and a few days prior to launch. This is what you agreed upon when you bought into Early Access/Game Preview. Everything is subject to change during Early Access/Game Preview. Both terms are just new terms made up to cover Alpha stages and Beta stages. So what? This isn't a subscription based game where you pay them money every month to play the game. You bought the game. The End. I've been wanting a 100% wipe on 100% of their servers since the start, though. Unfortunately that's not happening, but seeing all these salty tears is almost as good.

  34. I feel sorry for the young people disconnected from the community like you who do not understand the value of time and hard work put in by the earliest members of the community... You would not be saying "get over yourself" if you have invensted over two thousand hours in to a single server, and when the structures you own on that server total the cost of around 1,000,000(1 million) ingots, and roughtly 600,000(6 hundred-thousand) cementing paste. People like you just build your little thatch huts, complain about the pillars that are stopping you from building over metal spawns, and then come on to the forums and rejoice over the fact that all of this games most loyal player base are about to be screwed over...

  35. Same for me, its the most important question here and there s no information about that. Crazy. I'm bulding an insane castle atm on offi PVE server, with lot of tips/trick. It take me all my free time and I like to do it. A lot. But if I ve no access to next DLC, I will stop immediatly. Seriously WC, I feel like being treated like a delinquent, while I support / plays / promotes / bought keys for my family since the beginning of access.

  37. Thank you wildcard for making it extremely hard to like or even want to continue supporting you. I played through the bugs and BS. I played through delayed announcements and fixes. And I played through the temporary fixes as well. Now, after being one of the many, many players who joined to support early access, we're being told only 6 days before launch that here are the servers we're keeping for you loyal followers. Oh but wait, you're raptoring on you're own now. Thanks. Thanks for shoving our loyalty into a tiny ball and telling us to so politely either choke on it or move to the new clusters to deserve future help/support. Thanks. Sad to say I'll probably still play. It won't be due to any interest in wildcard though. It's because of the players and community. They're the ones that make it worth while. Sad. Why don't you see that?

Quote from the state of the ark We will also be taking steps to remove some of our ‘ghost town’ servers, where the player population has remained near-zero for an extended duration of time. We’ll take a look at the statistics and will be repurposing 10% of the lowest count servers across all platforms Supported SE form the minute it came out, sever is never near-zero for an extended duration of time. and now on release, with the phoenix i have been waiting months and months for, i have no base and i stand to loose all of my non xferable stuff... just awesome

  44. Oh gawd stfu... 11:03pm Central which makes it 9:03pm Pacific WEDNESDAY... If they were going to post the list they would have already. This is the shotty work we have come to expect from WC. Also. That whole "early access and by downloading and playing that game they accepted anything that can happen" went out the door when they said they wasn't wiping servers. Instead they're going to literally get rid of servers and force people to move to over populated servers where the lag and crashes will be more frequent. And then force them to lose dinos because they're making the Platform saddles to equal multiple dinos. THEN make them try to find a place to make a base so no one can wipe them out. Yeah... WC needs a reality check, a boot in the ass and in the face. This is not a good business decision. This is a REALLY bad business decision. They're earning a bad reputation in the gaming community. They are literally becoming the EA of the survival games.
