  1. Hey Survivors, Here is a quick update on this Major version patch that just rolled out. We're aware that there has been an increase in both client and server crashes - we've patched as many on the server side as we can (you'll have seen the various updates come through), and we've also addressed some client-side on PC (we're preparing these for console as we speak). These crashes were caused by technical changes we've made to the core game as we remaster Scorched Earth. Changes in the long term that will make remastering content smoother, and also provide modders with some more flexibility when developing their content too. Unfortunately, when it went live, it caused certain mods to crash as they hadn't been updated to use the new technology - we've since released the Devkit which will allow modders to update their mods to resolve these crashes (and we're also putting additional checks on our side into the game to protect against them). We appreciate your reports and patience. We know it's been a rocky few days, but the patch has been very informative and also helped us identify and resolve a number of issues that would have otherwise impacted the Scorched Earth release. We’ll continue to monitor the live game and keep you updated as we move towards the release of Scorched Earth!

  2. The major version patch we're rolling out today includes some shader improvements and under-the-hood changes that help us prepare for the upcoming Scorched Earth release. The goal is to get these changes out sooner so the Scorched Earth patch isn't as big to download on launch day and also helps our team identify issues before that major release. Scorched Earth is still on track to release at the end of the month, and we're just wrapping up our final bits of development before submitting it to cert. After that, we’ll be clear to release! This patch also contains one other significant change from the live game. We've improved the pipeline for human characters by removing redundant assets simplifying the process of making character animations and assets for both modders, content creators, and the internal team. From a player perspective, when this patch rolls out, you'll notice your female character having changed its proportions, but we've gone ahead and implemented new functionality on the Scissors, allowing you to adjust your character's appearance at any time, including bone modifications. There are still a few things we’re working through, such as animation issues (emotes, whistling) however, these will get resolved over the next few weeks or with the Scorched Earth release. For content creators, we’ll be releasing a new Devkit update today so you can start making the changes to your assets. We’ve also created a Blender file that you can use to help convert your assets to support the new character model (and will be looking into a solution for Maya users but that is TBD). You can download the blender file and read up on the instructions here: https://devkit.studiowildcard.com/guides/legacy-female-armor-conversion

  5. "As we navigate the vast and untamed wilderness of ARK, let’s also take a moment to recognize the remarkable courage and contributions of women survivors who enrich our world, both within the game and beyond. In the spirit of International Women's Day, we celebrate unity and the strength that comes from diversity and mutual support across all genders in our community." So where was this moment? Here you take the time to mention International Women's Day and say that we should take a moment to recognize the remarkable women of Ark, yet you instantly go right into mod spotlights directly after; almost as if these sentences didn't exist. Where are the spotlights highlighting these remarkable and courageous contributions? Where are the videos, artwork, or even mod additions made by such individuals that you could have highlighted directly after this opening statement? Where is the mentioning and highlighting of the great achievements that women on your staff have accomplished? Maybe some of the mods, videos, and artwork you showed after have been made by women; but I wouldn't know it because you made no special mention of this and only have author names listed. You could have done something great with this. After reading this opening statement, I was ready to see what you had gathered up to celebrate such a moment. Instead it's all just an empty copy/paste. Why did you even bother to copy/paste mention International Women's Day if you weren't going to do anything to celebrate it?

  8. Okay, so, in comparison to previous weeks, this was "marginally" better. But I do mean marginally better. There is still a severe lack of transparency here, and before all you lug-heads start throwin out "March 31st," for just a moment stop yourselves and let's take account of how many dates they've already buggered up and missed. We're at a point where until some of us see a REAL commitment to transparency for the content we've ALREADY PAID FOR, you can expect that we are not going to just believe what they say. Or did none of you ever read the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? Scorched Earth - Dec 2023, then March 2024, then April 1st, and now they say March 31st, shah, okay The Center - May 2024, then end of Feb, now, Who the hell even knows What we've seen is a dedication to pushing microtransactions and other ilk, that none of us asked for or paid for. If they get SE out on March 31st or even April 1st, yes, I will be pleasantly surprised and will be spinning up a server for my community. That being said, you are a fool if you just blindly believe a thing WC says with no evidence to support their statement other than rendered "art" that features nothing but microtransaction content and Pay 2 Win content. You want people to not make posts about "where's SE?" Yah? Then back those people up and demand for full transparency. Demand that WC show it. Let us see it. Screenshots. In-Game Video. Content that showcases what we have already PAID for, technically twice, if you bought everything in SE. Stop giving in to your Saviour complex and take stock of the fact that you PAID for a FULL GAME and as of yet, you've received NOTHING that you PAID for, just like all the rest of us. And, hey man, it's cool honey bunny if you think it's copacetic waiting till whenever for the content you paid for, but keep in mind, many of us, yah, we are NOT cool with it. So please, just go sit back down in your booth and have a nice tall milkshake.

  9. Stop whining. If you experienced ASE in it Infancy then you knew what to expect. The problem is this game is so good people want to play it bug free. Second problem is people are spoiled and want it NOW NOW NOW instead of being patient. You still log in, and if you don't play then stay off the forum. Ark is still the best Dino/survival game there is period.

  12. Are you kidding me? no news whatsoever about the problems with the recent patch? No ETA on the patch to the patch? Single layer is broken. No word on that. My character looks like a bodybuilder on steroids. no word on that... Wildcard, HIRE A PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER. Your game is dying. You had better break out the CPR paddles quickly or just sell it before you ruin it completely. Fix your existing issues! Nobody gives a damn about mods that can't be used on your broken game.

  14. No wonder they put mods in the game, they'd have literally nothing to show otherwise. Good job showing off everyone else's work while you guys stack delays to the ceiling, riding on 20 inch delays.

  15. I still think there needs to be more communication. Give us regular updates and keep us in the loop to help build excitement. Show us what you're working on. Sneak peaks are great even if they end up changing a bit in the final product. Yes, players will criticize any updates you do give but that's definitely the lesser of two evils compared to radio silence and crunches devoid of substance. Come on WC, you can be better. Show us that you want to be 🍻

  16. Would love to see some more informations in the Community Crunches.... like the A&Qs back in the days Like: Did we get new TLCs in the future? Did the Scorched Earth map specific dinos any new abilities? perhaps little sneak peaks from center and scorched or stuff you did this in the first months of ASE.. little dossier sneak peaks and stuff... this was great. of course its time taking to rebuild 2 whole maps from ground up and making 3 new creatures (or even more).. for me its okay that around 40 people cant do all that stuff beside bug fixing the main game. But those little chunks of meat gives a warmer feeling for us what we can expect in the future and die crunch doesnt feel this empty

  17. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am so happy with how Gigantoraptor looks, acts and plays. Truly the best I could've asked for in terms of a faithful execution of my submission! For those still going "I want my maewings", I feel like it's important to mention the actual abilities of the big chicken (not the cryptic hype building teaser included in this crunch): Gigantoraptor can feed babies, you just need to have them be in the saddle baskets, and they'll eat food right outta its inventory. Gigantoraptor is more single target while maewing is more of a trough, but it's still better than nothing! It can also incubate eggs like an egg incubator! Capacity is limited once again to the saddle baskets, but by placing fertilized eggs in its inventory and clicking on em, you can transfer them to the baskets IT IMPRINTS YOUR BABIES!! While it may not be in the same way as my submission, I honestly find it way more fun and rewarding. Taking your babies on a little murder spree, watching their adopted parents fight, nets you an instant 30% imprint progress. And when Desmodus comes out, sanguine gives another 30% too, which means that Sanguine Elixir + Gigantoraptor would give you a relatively easy 60% imprint Imprint refresh is back! Should be well known enough by now, but just for people in the back, G-raptor's call refreshes imprint requests! Whatever your stance on big chicken, I love it, and that's more than enough for me! Just feel like not enough people know the full extent of the Battle Nanny's abilities. ALSO TSW MENTIONED LETS GOOOOO

  19. I wish you gave us some behind-the-scenes content about the animated series. An interview about the writing decisions, or showing some scenes being animated, or... it already feels like it's old news to you. It was yesterday. Glad that you see it and clarify things. More of that, more often.

  20. All this shows is that you don't know squat about Australia. Australia, like the U.S., has immigrants from a wide variety of locaations, people from all over S.E. Asia and the western pacific have been emigrating to Australia for decades. Looking at someone's skin color in a society that has long standing immigration and deciding they "don't make sense" only means that you have a very limited imagination and prefer to see cliche, obvious character selection. Beyond this, there is an element that should be super-obvious. Australia also has inter-marriage which has been going on for generations. Even if you never look beyond the shores of the island there are plenty of Australians of mixed brown/white ancestry. It's not anyone "making a point", you're projecting your ideology on other people. You're working from the assumption that when someone else does so they're doing it to make a point. Authors choose characters for a wide variety of reasons, but by far the most common reason is that an author thinks the character will be interesting. If she was straight and white you wouldn't be suggesting that anyone was trying to make a point, and yet you assume that making her brown and lesbian is somehow making a point, which is pretty silly thinking. Likewise, her wife being a "blue haired pale white chick" has no more meaning than this is the character's background. Brown people live their lives differently than you do, lesbians live their lives differently than you do, blue haired white chicks live their lives differently than you do, and so on. None of that mean that the authors are trying to bring politics into their story, that's just you projecting your values and preferences on to other people. The only thing "absolutely disrespectful" is that you mis-interpret the show to push your political and social agenda while trying to pretend that you're not. Sometimes the hero of a story is Luke Skywalker, a standard white boy from the country, sometimes the hero of the story is an intellectually superior dwarf from a noble family, sometimes the hero of the story is a brown lesbian with a white wife. If you stop making your terrible assumption that only certain people are allowed to be the hero of a story then you will find yourself enjoying stories on their own merits rather than being offended by false narratives that you've falsely constructed in your head. Nonsense, this is you projecting again. The only reference they made was that the two of them are adults who have an adult relationship - just like every other show and story about adults does. No, it's absolutely not. The significant majority of the ARK player base are of age, you can drop your hand-wringing "for the children" arguments, that's nothing more than a lie you're telling yourself to justify your hand-wringing. This must be your first day on the internet, children have access to all of the porn on the planet, not one of them are being exposed to the concept of lesbians for the first time in their lives by the ARK cartoon. And again, your insistence on "scissoring" nothing more than you trying to use dog-whistle buzzword to pretend that this was some sort of excessive display of sexuality, which was absolutely not the case. If you see two women walking into a bedroom, closing the door and the first thing that comes to your mind is "SCISSORING OMGZ!" then all you're doing is exposing your own peculiarities (and probably your own sexual fantasies as well). There are thousands of example of shows showing adults walking into a room and closing the door behind them, there's nothing strange, excessive or bizarre about it happening on this show. That's up to their parents to decide, not you. If you don't want your kids to watch this show then don't let them, but I guarantee you that millions of parents around the world don't care one tiny bit about the very tame, very non-explicit relationship shown between those two characters. Standard network TV has lot's of more explicit sexuality than was shown in ARK, and all of the big streaming services have much more material that kids watch that is more sexually explicit than Ark. And there it is, there's the true agenda driving your socio-political diatribe that you're trying to pretend isn't one. Here's a puzzle for you, natural selection and evolution are both entirely real, and yet every species (of mammal) has homosexual relationships. If the existence of homosexuality is forbidden or prevented by natural selection, why does it keep occurring? The answer is simple (even though you're not going to want to admit it), it's because homosexual relationships benefit the species as a whole. Individuals who are homosexual don't pass on their own genes directly, but they do indirectly help to pass on the genes of their family group, which still benefits the species. If you're going to try to use natural selection as the basis of your (political) argument, than you need to make sure that you understand how it works. You're pretending that natural selection supports your (political) position, but it doesn't, natural selection and evolution demonstrate why your thinking is wrong. Translation: You are, in your own words, "transphobic racists or homophobic" but you want to pretend that you're not. No, you're pointing out your own irrationality. There's no law that says you have to like gay or trans people, your feelings are your feelings. But if you're going to attempt to use arguments like natural selection to justify those feelings then you're going to need to come up with arguments that can withstand the scrutiny of logic, and yours don't. Everything you've said here has been your arguing from the position of your own collections of irrationalities.

  22. A whole lot of nothing, no news of new content, no even sneak peaks, I want this game to suceed, but crunch after crunch of just nothing really makes me uninterested in coming back until there are more maps and the game is more stable, I get it takes time but you can atleast show off screenshots or something, it's not like we've seen these maps before in ASE I don't know why you keep everything so close to the chest, like what happened to you guys being open with the community after ASA Launch? I haven't seen very much if any of that at all

  27. Jebus. Another week. Another CC with no REAL news that your player base ACTUALLY cares about... It's a puff piece about explorer notes voiced by Karl Urban. Why in the world would you think THAT is what we want to hear about? Seriously, either some dufus at Snail is writing these things, or whomever you have working public relations got their degree out of a sewer grate. No update on Scorched. No update on The Center. No update on how you plan to get back on track with the roadmap you gave us for the content that we all PAID FOR!!!

  30. It's bad when part time mod developers are doing a better job at creating content than a career based entire team (Studio Wildcard). Showcasing and charging full speed ahead on the "mod train" isn't this incredible idea, it just makes WC look lazy and inconsistent wit their capabilities. I think I speak for at least half the community when I say we genuinely don't care about mods, other than quality of life mods that is. We just want communication from the devs and official content. -I'm not hating on you modders, you're doing a great job! and you should keep it up

  31. I don't wanna sound negative but y'all ain't doing yourselves any favors with only doing community crunches that only consists of Mod Showcases, Fan-Art, and Videos of the Week. At this point people want SOMETHING to get excited about, mods can only carry the game so far. Like why not give us sneak peak screenshots of Scorched Earth, or show us pictures of how some assets differ from ASE. I'd rather have a picture of how the ASA Joshua Tree will look like than these "Nothing Burgers".

  33. Behold the queen of helicopter parenting, Gigantoraptor, with a love larger than life, this majestic creature fiercely guards its brood while exuding elegance and danger with its colorful plumage and razor-sharp claws. Get ready to witness the awe-inspiring presence of Gigantoraptor today! Download in full resolution Species: Gigantoraptor nutritor Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Omnivore Temperament: Territorial Unless you’re planning to raid its nest, you shouldn’t let this creature’s imposing size worry you. Gigantoraptor may be fiercely protective of its brood, but it’s much more of a caregiver than a fighter. Don’t get me wrong -- this theropod will use its sharp claws and surprising speed to defend its young when threatened. But Gigantoraptor has a soft heart for young ones -- it’ll even take in the orphaned babies of rival species. Now for the bad news: to my knowledge, no one’s been able to figure out how to tame an adult Gigantoraptor – its unique disposition seems resistant to behavioral conditioning. However, Survivors bolder than me were able to sneak into nests to win the trust of their young, and they claim that reward is well worth the risk. Once matured to adulthood, your tamed Gigantoraptor will happily look after any of your tribe’s young creatures, nurturing them and teaching them how to fight. It can even use its call to help you find orphaned baby animals out in the wild. If you bring those orphans home, then your Gigantoraptor will happily add them to its brood. Gigantoraptor forms an inseparable bond with its young charges. Bring them into a fight together and they will defend each other, and your tribe, far more effectively than when apart.

Not asking for a damned video broadcast like they do, but actually breaking down what it is you all are doing, being transparent. Maybe prove that we're not the victims of a grift? With all the missed deadlines not only by yourselves, but by your so-called "partners" it should be pretty obvious that all we really want to see in these is weekly updates letting us know when we might, ya know, maybe SEE THE STUFF WE ALREADY PAID FOR!

  41. I found fix for issue regarding the boss dossier which is not unlocking when killing the boss (usually is the monkey). The way to fix it is to run monkey and when it's about to die, whistle all rexes on passive and kill the monkey with a ridden rex but don't harvest the body once it dies, u will get the engram.

It used to show this: If it wasn't suitable for official (yet) or you added it to the list by mistake that's fine, but it would've been nice to be notified about it instead of finding it out later that it was removed from the CC without showing any sign of modification Even a "Hey, sorry we added your cosmetic to the list in the CC by mistake so we removed it" would've been great.
