Summer Bash Is Live Break out your shades and catch some rays in the 2020 Summer Bash event. If you ever needed an excuse to celebrate summer and soak in some sun, we've got you covered. From June 25th to July 14th the second Summer Bash event will be underway. Spend your time relaxing by the beach in the new Hawaiian shirts or have a fight your tribe using the new water-gun skin. However you choose to spend your summer in ARK, Summer Bash is bound to cook up a lot of entertainment.

UPDATE: We'll be rolling out an patch to greatly reduce the cost of prime jerky for Summer Bash items later this evening. In the meantime, start stocking up that jerky for your chibis and emotes! Breeding Performance Improvements With the start of the 5th Anniversary event, we implemented some changes to the way our servers calculate growing baby dinos. By distributing these calculations we can recover some of the performance costs related to breeding calculations, which is quite cost-intensive. In more technical terms, we have done this by measuring the stress on a server with each tick and batching the actors to process their breeding calculations over the course of several ticks rather than all of them on every tick. For a server that is already in a stable state not much might be noticed, but for a server under intense stress players may notice that breeding calculations, and the initial start of mating may be a little delayed. The good news is that players should notice less performance issues during boosted breeding rates. Servers will always be put under extra strain during event rates, especially so in regards to breeding rates but we've sought to minimize that with these changes and we've noticed some positive improvements. If you are on a busy server and experiencing some delays, this is why and we're currently iterating on this so these response delays don't feel like as much of a disruption.

Don't worry everyone! They are working hard right now. Working on the next DLC so that you can get super cool dinos and new tek stuff for only $29.99!

Might be a bit later today before I do a release. Found a bug/exploit in ARK so taming up as much as I can with free mutton atm

I'll plug the info into my spreadsheet and done some tests today. I knew they were out - just wasn't that bothered as close enough for my own personal needs until the Wiki was updated with the actual values. Values plugged in to my spreadsheet and looking good for the sample data I have. I will update the source code and push out a new release. Thanks for your help @Larkfields

What they should do is backup characters so they cant get lost in the first place.

It would be more beneficial for your company to start thinking about an actual anti cheat software and start thinking of your player base instead of dino colors and cosmetics. Meshers, aimbotters and dupers but nothing has been done. They are on every pvp cluster and take people's hard time and work who play this game legitimately. In my case, I've been dealing with the same cheaters for over a year. But you know, pretty colors and what not...

50 PRIME MEAT JERKY FOR RANDOM CHIBI??? Have you lost your mind? Its a joke, right?

Cooked meat. The mod question is tougher and I don't have an answer to it. I guess the best answer is we'd like to

u know saying black lives matter is kinda racist touching this to kids would make them think other races dont matter how about all lives matter

Yes and there might be another there so called "HOT FIX" didnt fix nothing still black screening and losing stuff.

The music! You guys. It makes my heart happy. You're awesome.
