It's no surprise then, that when the community loses one of their own, fellow players are eager to reach out and honour the player that has passed away Over the years, we have received some very touching messages from players who have lost fellow tribe members, family members and friends and chose to share their ways of paying tribute to them in-game with us. Many of us at Wildcard were touched by a player’s story shared on Reddit about his lovely wife Heather, who passed away suddenly. He and his sister made a tribute to her on Valguero (her favourite map) and shared this screenshot with the community We put our heads together to come up with a way we could add a lasting memorial to the game for, not only Heather, but for all of the Survivors who have Ascended. Jackson Lawrence, one of our talented Level Designers, kindly offered to spend his own time creating a lasting memorial and I think his work is just beautiful! I’m humbled to be able to share our new addition to the Valguero map with the community. Thank you for not only allowing us to entertain you but also for inviting what we created into your lives. As a bunch of people wanting to make something exciting and immersive, we’re honoured when players take that beyond anything we can possibly do to forge their own connections with the game. Our world may not be real but your sentiment and attachment to it is. We hope our small gesture brings some comfort to players who have lost loved ones. - Dollie and the Studio Wildcard Team. DDoS Mitigation Improving the health and stability of our network infrastructure is a huge priority for the team. One of the biggest hurdles we've faced stem from DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks. These are malicious attacks on our network which lead to server issues such as downtime, poor performance, or not being able to connect. While these attacks are a global issue and impossible to prevent entirely, the team has spent a considerable amount of engineering time on mitigating these attacks with our hosting partners to reduce the impact they have on your playing experience. As of the past few weeks, we have deployed some serious enhancements to the system and have such seen a dramatic decrease in server issues related to DDoS attacks on PC, Xbox, and PS4. Although things have improved, we will continue to monitor the overall health of the Official Network and work on advancing the technology to mitigate these attacks. Character Loss caused by Rollbacks & Auto Restoration Preventing character loss remains of utmost importance to us. We've recently implemented the technology (and have had it running live on our Official Network) to auto-restore characters in the event that a server has experienced a rollback. Specifically, if a player has recently transferred to a server and for some reason, that server has gone down without saving the world (crashed/restarted), upon it's next start up that character (presuming it hadn't left the server), will be automatically restored. We'll continue to monitor for character loss reports and identify opportunities to advance the auto-restoration technology. Disconnection Issues for Xbox and Win10 clients. We have identified and fixed the issue causing players to regularly disconnect from Player Dedicated & Non-Dedicated servers on Xbox/Win10 every 30 minutes. The fix will be rolled out the upcoming Turkey Trial update on the 24th of November. Beginner Server Wipe Just a friendly reminder that we're close to the next reset date on Beginner servers, which will take place on December 1st. For those not familiar, Beginner Official Servers are an experience for new ARK players to test the waters without the threat of thoroughly developed tribes. Unlike our regular servers, these have undergone some changes and will wipe every 8 weeks. First of all, there have been some limitations on how much a player or dino can progress. Player levels hit their cap at 44 and the highest encounter possible for wild creatures is level 30. Tamed creatures can receive up to an additional maximum of 30 levels. Due to the progression limits, some engrams are not achievable through leveling up but are found via supply crates. Some other changes include the disabling of alliances and tribe sizes have been limited to 5 members maximum. Below are the subsequent planned wipes based on the 8-week wipe schedule: January 26 March 23 May 18 July 13 September 7 Nov 2 Dec 28 Black Friday Sales Don't miss your chance to grab ARK for up to 80% off in the XBOX Black Friday Sale Get started on your Black Friday shopping with ARK while it is up to 80% off in the Playstation Black Friday Sale! EVO Event Survivors on all platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from Friday the 20th of Nov at 4 PM EST until Tuesday the 8th of December at 3 PM EST.

  7. ARK: Genesis Part 2 introduces a vast contiguous world filled with strange new biomes, story missions, and exotic creatures! The final confrontation between the spritely HLN-A and the villainous Sir Edmund Rockwell occurs on a gigantic colony ship traveling through deep space. Players will need to draw on all their ARK experience to succeed. ARK's largest Expansion Pack yet has game-changing additions for every kind of Survivor: whether it's taking possession of enemies via brain-controlling "Noglin" creatures, zooming around doing radical tricks on the skateboard-like Hoversail, or managing and viewing your base remotely with security cameras, among tons of other new items and creatures! This expansion pack also introduces new voiceover talent to the ARK universe with David Tennant (Doctor Who, Good Omens) playing the villainous Sir Edmund Rockwell, and Madeleine Madden (The Wheel of Time, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) taking on the in-game robotic AI companion HLN-A/Helena Walker. But even with HLN-A's help, will your powerful skills, gear, and tames be sufficient to put a stop to Rockwell's demented plans once and for all? We're about to find out because The End is Near! TLC Pass #3 TLC Pass 3 finds its way marching through the ARK with some tender loving care for some old friends; the Mammoth and Stegosaurus have received varied gameplay and visual upgrades! This update also includes a bunch of Quality of Life changes to make your time on the ARK more enjoyable! Patch Notes TLC: Woolly Mammoth New Abilities War Drum Saddle and Buff 1 additional passenger seat on a saddle that comes equipped with a war drum that must be played to maintain an AoE buff that improves stamina regen and makes them immune to fear. New Attacks Tusk Sweep Sweeps tusks left or right to gather and harvest thatch Trunk Trumpet Emits a trunk roar that does an AOE debuff to all enemies within range After stepping in water, the next Trunk Trumpet used by the Mammoth will spray the rider with water, hydrating them, removing fire debuffs, and reducing their temperature. Foot Stomp Mammoth rears up and then puts all of its weight into a forward “slam” with its front legs to directionally knock back enemies and gather wood Trunk Grab Similar to the Karkinos’s grab, it is able to grab, hold, aim and release smaller targets Stegosaurus New Abilities Backplate Modes Backplate passive buff and can switch between three modes. Different modes will be indicated visually Hardened Plated: Applies a damage reduction buff; Wood harvesting benefit Heavy Plate Mode: Applies a slow when attacking with the basic tail whip; Thatch harvesting benefit Sharpened Plate Mode: Applies an armor penetration effect when attacking with the tail whip. Also useful for harvesting berries New Attacks Impaling Tail Whip Able to impale and immobilize players and creatures below a certain health threshold. Additional notes The rider is prevented from dismounting effects and attacks Has a berry weight reduction buff New Breedable Creatures The insects and creatures that can now be bred are: Spider, Onyc, Moth, Scorpion, Arthropluera, Mantis and the mighty Wyverns! The new (Wyvern are unchanged) hatching/gestation and maturation times are as follows: Spider Egg Hatch Time: 1 hour and 25 minutes (Matches Pachy) Total Maturation Time: 1 day, 1 hour, and 1 minute (Matches Dimorph) Bat Total Gestation Time: 3 hours and 58 minutes (Matches Procoptodon) Total Maturation Time: 1day, 4 hours, and 3 minutes (Matches Kairuku) Moth Egg Hatch Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes (Matches Kairuku) Total Maturation Time: 1 day, 6 hours, and 51 minutes (Matches Pegomastax) Scorpion Egg Hatch Time: 1 hour and 59 minutes (Matches Raptor) Total Maturation Time: 1 day, 13 hours, and 12 minutes (Matches Raptor) Arthropluera Egg Hatch Time: 2 hours and 29 minutes (Matches Sarco) Total Maturation Time: 2 days, 3 hours, and 26 minutes (Matches Stego) Mantis Egg Hatch Time: 2 hours and 46 minutes (Matches Stego) Total Maturation Time: 2 days, 6 hours, and 27 minutes (Matches Tapejara) Creature Quality of Life Changes In addition to insect breeding, we went back and showed some love to a few of ARK's well-known inhabitants. Giganotosaurus Reduced maturation time by approximately 15% (Total growth is around 10~ days) Diplocaulus Increased base health by 33% (from 190 to 250.3) Increased movement speed when ridden by 25% Thylacoleo Added a (slow draining) bleed to its basic attack Megachelon Reduced depth requirement for breeding so that it can be bred on other maps Wyvern Wyverns are now breedable (Zombie Wyverns cannot be bred) Slight stat rebalance now that they’re breedable and to bring them in line with Crystal Wyverns Megalodon Reduced gestation/aging times to match Megaloceros Pack Bonus: Damage Reduction and Damage Increase per pack member within range Added a bleed to its basic attack Jerboa Increase base weight capacity from 55 to 120 (Matches Bulbdog) Ankylosaurus Increase metal weight reduction by 10% (from total reduction of 75% to 85%) Doedicurus You can now turn when rolling with a Doed (similarly to the Genesis Race Mission) Basilisk Now has eyes New Feature: Taming HUD Use the interactive taming HUD to monitor your unconscious wild tamable creatures.

Boss Element Reward Increase We’ve decided to increase the Boss Element reward on some maps to bring the Ele more into line with where we’re at with new expansions. Element reward from The Island bosses has been increased by 100% Element reward from The Center bosses has been increased by 100% Element reward from Scorched Earth has been increased by 50% New Feature: Turret Radius Settings A quick and easy way to update the settings of your nearby turrets within a radius. It’s set to currently match the Official Server Turret Limit radius, but players can also toggle viewing the radius on/off. The current functionality it supports is as follows: The ability to set a pin code to all turrets in range The ability to copy settings to all turrets in range The ability to copy settings to pin code-selected turrets in range The settings which can be copied are: power state, range, targeting, warning Miscellaneous Fixes & Changes Fixed a bug where HLN-A would jitter a lot at low client fps * Fixed a bug which allowed you to blow up 2 pieces of C4 without consuming them * Fixed the Onyx having the wrong icon * Fixed a lot of typos * Fixed a shoulder pet offset issue with the Ferox on the Gigantopithecus * Fixed a bug on localized/translated Cryopods which prevented it from displaying the correct information * Fixed multiple level-design related bugs such as holes, floating foliage, incorrect volumes, etc. * Fixed a bug which prevented you from placing Cliff Platform structures in the Genesis Part 1 Ocean Biome * Fixed a bug which broke biome specific overrides Fixed a bug which allowed players to fly across the map with certain creatures and grappling hooks * Completely disabled the option to set teleporters as Public on Official PvP (including using them). * New Dynamic Ini options: HexagonRewardMultiplier (multiplies hex rewards for missions), BabyImprintAmountMultiplier, and BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier Hotkey for GCM demolished has changed to "G" when using keyboard and mouse * Please note any notes marked with a * mean that these changes are not in the latest console TLC update, but will make it there when we next update the clients.

  11. I lost my tribemate just after the release of the game, we played early acess together.. I met him on PVE and we went from nothing to one of the biggest tribes together (hes deaf and im mute), just the two of us about 7 days after the game released he got hit by a car that he couldnt hear... Killed him instantly. I built a giant memorial on my server before leaving it and have been tending to that memorial ever since. Thank you wildcard, this gesture, as small as it might be, is so important to me. I hope his memory will be preserved here, I miss you jai, but I hope youre in a better place now.

  12. Sometimes there's just nothing new to discuss. If someone thinks up something new or a different take on something old, we'll post about it, but we can't just come up with new, coherent theories every day lol. Recently, there was an explosion of activity in this thread which started mostly because of the ExtraLife stream, and like d1nk said, I guarantee it'll be active again as soon as something new gets revealed

  15. " A message from our Product Manager: While gamers can sometimes squabble over the little things, like which console is better, the ARK community is nonetheless tightly-knit. " This isn't the first time this has happened in Ark - there are a couple of player-built monuments/tributes to friends who have moved on, but the story on Reddit was touching too. I am happy - in a weirdly sad way - that Ark is the latest game to have put something like this in their environment to honour players no longer with us. It's a good thing and no doubt appreciated by many in the community. And everyone knows arguing over which console is best is just plain daft.... We all know PC is Master Race 😝

  16. Xbox Crystal Isles, Server When I first logged on I wanted to try and snag a mate for my high level tropical wyvern, bed hopped to my outpost I had near green ob. Flew around awhile, didn't spot any high levels (most low levels like 40-50) then checked out the landscape, found an alpha leeds trapped in some low pool.. easy kill even for my disposable ptera. Arrr I'm a captain now matey. Went back home and spent the better part of the night farming / building / going on metal / cp runs working towards that first indy forge. I'll spare the details, in short redid some of my base and got all the metal needed for forge + possible grinder if I have the crystal (oddly enough having a hard time getting loads of crystal besides flying node to node the whole map) Was sick of sitting around waiting for metal to smelt so I decided I wanted to tame some Thyla / other creatures south so I made an outpost. Plan is to make a small base other side of the map to tame at, also make a public taming pen because.... why not. Took a bunch of pre-made stone ive been slowly building up, flew due south to the SE area. After a long fly, I settled on an area I saw a thyla and some griffins, neat. Before I set down anything I flew around. I'm flying and see an alpha heir .. scary ! As I keep a wide birth I see some turret tower... why? As I land near it to get some stam...I realize why. I guess I'm in heir territory and get jumped by 3 wyverns. Eeeek! A few minutes of dodging ensue and I finally make it away mostly unscathed. I guess the server shut down as I was mid flight, booted back up to a few minutes prior (? Might have just been bad memory) luckily I wasn't being chased any more. Set up a perimeter wall, a rough shack and cryod my wyvern went to sleep for the night. Today ill build a nifty taming pen good for drop tames, fly tames and griffins. Excited to hopefully tame a high level thyla / griffin tonight!

  17. (Official, Valguero) Bred tek rexes, put new and both old batches into the hatchery (that's 15 eggs!), put old giga egg into the hatchery, bred velonas (used Ratteki instead of Gatling this time). Did a crystal run, tried to finish the roof, turned out it's impossible to do with no gaps, so took it down, and started rebuilding in a different way, one that'll leave roof pieces no choise but to align correctly, since they'll be snapped to a ring of ceilings rather than right to the walls (because walls are snapped some to ceilings some to foundations, and there's a bit of difference in height because of that). Went to hunt some alpha dinos, unfortunately only found one raptor and two carnos. Still, better than nothing. ... 15 tek rex eggs? More like "Fifteen Shades of Average"! No mutations. At all. I'm not even talking about the good stuff like health or melee - there's not even useless ones! Just no. New. Mutations. Killed all. Dimorph egg hatched into a female, but I would have kept it even if it was male - dimorphs can be anything, as long as it has a pair of functional wings it's welcome in my future pack of tiny flying monsters. Velona eggs - no new mutations. Killed all. Still waiting for the oldest giga egg to hatch, feeding gachas as I wait.

  18. Logged on today to find out that after I had cryo'd some baby mana's, that apparently the server rolled back to BEFORE i did, thus letting them starve to death while I'm at my job. This is freaking ridiculous, they literally should have been grown by now, but it seems like the servers were rolling back to frequently, it was taking twice as long to fully mature. I'm so frustrated to have wasted my time getting a top stat mana (fully black mind you) just to die from a stupid rollback, with the server showing absolutely no signs of lag before logging off.

  19. At this point the game was way outgrown dinosaurs. I loved the prehistoric feel of ark back in the day too, but what is adding another variation of a trex or trike really gonna do for the game..? They can get much more creative with stuff like an invisible freakin lion, and honestly I think something like that is simply more interesting than another dinosaur added to the 100 dinos we already have. Again, with the map what are they gonna do add another volcano/snow/desert area ? We've been there done that several times over. I absolutely love the look of the ship and how the biomes wrap around it in rings. So much more interesting than another Valguero or Ragnarok type landscape. I like that they've gone in a new direction, I just hope they dont royally screw it up with some dumb design decision like they did with the mission build restrictions and teleporting that made gen 1 awful (neither are in gen 2).

  20. Can win10/xbox players please get an update on the 30 minute host timeout disconnects from the server? Every half hour like clockwork since the deployment of the Fear Evolved 4 event (8/26/20). Saw that you guys deployed a server side patch but thousands of us on unofficial and player dedicated are still having this problem. Very sad and disappointing and i think I speak for all of us when i say we're feeling neglected :( :( :(
