I don't mind starting again, but will the ASA servers be sunset when Ark2 is eventually released would be my first question too.

Official Servers: With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will sunset all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved – at that time, the final save-datas from the ARK: Survival Evolved Official Servers will be uploaded for players to re-host on their own servers or play in singleplayer/non-dedi, as well as slightly earlier snapshots. You will still be able to play on single-player, non-dedicated, player-dedicated, and unofficial servers. YIKES!

All Looks Amazing, well done WC! ❤️

It ended up stealing your gear and selling it at the nearest pawn shop. It's now getting rebranded as opportunistichawk.

NA-PVE/Genesis 602 down since around 8pm CST last night too.

Genesis Official NA-PVE/602 has been down since just before the event ended. BM Genesis 602 We were lucky enough for it to return a couple times during event, but only got to play for maybe 1/3rd of the event rates. Don't care about current rates, just want server back up.

Similar to prior posting, tribe member identified that it poofed immediately as it was tamed: NA/PVE/GenOne-602

Looking at its legs and note, I think it lays in wait camoflaged like a flower then jumps up spinning like a helicopter and shoots a web net at its prey then lands on the prey and sucks the life out of it. Not looking forwards to this terror!

After trying something for the first time tonight, quit incidentally. I figured out what the net is for. It fits around a gacha and squeezes it so that it can actually fit down a 2x4 opening for a large elevator! Bingo!

I think it is a cloaking device / camouflage projector- basicly used to hide your structures so it appears that nothing is built around the device.

Actually, I'd like to see this taken a bit further, cos filling an ankey (or doed for that matter) to it's weight-related shutoff happens very quickly. What I'd like to see instead is the ability to whistle attack this target on harvestable resources (bushes/trees/rocks/metal nodes/clams/etc.) so that you can black-weight your ankey/doed/beaver or whatever harvester you're carrying at that time.

I think exactly the same could be said for pvp. Might make more sense actually. Then the kiddies wouldn't complain that an op dung beatle wiped their entire base. Just spawn in a new base, then spawn in whatever dinos you want to do battle with whomever you want!

I think they have to look st the things that unbalance pvp. And if you ask me, and from what I've heard, the majority of it comes due to stacking bred dino stats, and mutations. I'd propose the 'fix' could simply be to disable all breeding on pvp servers completely. This should dramatically, and perhaps drastically, level the playing field.

PC Official PvE I don't often write dailies - like never really, but I thought I'd share my weekend as it was quite eventful. I've been rebuilding my island base using my extinction char, transferring my old island char (now in an allied tribe to my extinction char on island) to TC server. So I bring the original back to remove some old plumbing - only to find I don't have any rights to do so within the allied tribe. So I message Asmo (tribe admin) to fix that. In the meantime I transfer back to TC - but without my wyvern as I don't have rights to cryo her back up prior to transfer! Anyways after I transfer to TC I accidentally click on my small cabin bed - this is a bed located ontop of a small but very high pillar. Oops, no way to deselect it and no flyer. Oh well. So I spawn and look around the mountaintop to see if there is any safe way down - accidentally slip, fall and die! Next 10 minutes is spent spawning close by and trying to reach body before everything decays, a few raptor deaths later I finally reach it, snuggle into a dark corner behind some rocks and then switch over to my extinction char. She built up a bunch of equipment to place in the new island base so transfer all that over and start placing things. During that time Sika announces he's running one of the bosses to help get engrams for people, so I join in on that, and we literally devour the alpha brood in a couple minutes. Fun times! I transfer back to extinction, by which point Chyarr has asked for some new thyla colors he's missing, so I start breeding some pairs to see if I can get him some babies. 4 hours wait so I go chase for a red osd, but on the way I realize I don't have my whip - head back to base but see a lime green wyvern flying towards the osd i saw, so I say hi - to no reply. I pick up my whip and head back towards the osd - it's started, and so is the purple one a bit further away - and no one is actually fighting the corrupts - I guess green wyvern person started them and left. grrrr. So I find another red osd - before the green wyvern person does - and managed to claim it before they arrived - hahaa! - they did arrive when I was on round 3 or 4, and then went away minding their own business. After the drop I'm flying to the nearest tp with a heavily laiden argie when I see this amazing blue and black tek quetz, lvl 60 female, but worth the tame for the colors alone. So I tp back to base to get something to capture it with - checking on thyla's - about an hour left, so pleanty of time to tame a lvl 60 quetz in. Grab my taming gear (darts, spike walls, kibble and narcs) and head out on my wyvern, tp'ing back to the quetz. Get close and hop up on my wyvern which immediately decides to land - I guess that's a change I hadn't noticed before - ugh. Back to base and grab the griffin and back to the quetz. About 10 darts later it's falling to the ground knocked - yay. Until it flops down and is attacked by a corrupt dilo - noooo. So I get the dilo aggro'd on me and kill it and a few threats in the immediate vicinity, and put up a bunch of spike walls to protect it. Now realizing the taming eff is gone to heck thanks to the dilo I head back to base to grab some mats to build a cage around the quetz so I can re-knock it for higher eff. I check on thyla's - 45 mins until birth, ugh - this is going to get messy, and to top it off Chyarr messages me saying - oops, gave you the wrong colors earlier, oh well, maybe I'll get a nice mutation out of what is breeding right now. As I'm about to head out after checking the thyla's my early-warning-system dinos start running towards the fence - apparently an alpha rex is chomping on species X plants. I throw out my giga pod and she makes pretty quick work of the rex and I throw the prime on the grill - I discard all prime when doing drops, so this was just a happy convenience. Anyways, back to the quetz, I put up a small cage with pillars and ceilings and wait a few more mins for its torp to drain. I knock it out again and drop some kibble in, straight up to almost 50% tamed - yay. And I place a velon on the ceilings to keep anything else that approaches at bay. I wait until about 5 mins until the thyla's are due then load up the quetz with enough narcs for it to finish taming and tp back to deliver the babies. No mutations, but did end up with two babies that had colors Chyarr was looking for, so I put those aside. Head back to the quetz and the juggling act is complete! Later that evening I'm back on the island continuing to set things up when I decide to do a quick metal run - heading out I see a titanosaur not more than a minute away from base. So I think, I wonder if my boss rex can take on this beast - my rex is based on one of Berts recent stats (Thank you so much for breeding rex's Bert!). And she's mated with my other best stats - with oxy and speed stats near 0 to keep her base under the 380 breeding level. She's quite leveled - 57k hp and 1500 melee at this point, with a 118 armored saddle. So me and rexy make our way over to the Titanosaur and start munching away while it stomps rexy's health away. Munch munch munch, stomp stomp stomp. Things ensue, but rexy is getting pretty beaten up, and only a few small scratches on the titanosaur starting to appear. So we turn tail and start walking away - it's nightfall now on the island and the titanosaur is giving chase - but as it turns out, walking away with a rex is just the right speed so the titanosaur doesn't stomp. So we munch for a bit until a server lag spike after which either the titanosaur lost interest or saw something else more interesting. So in the interest of preserving rexy's life we walk back to base. I hop on my lightning wyvern (about 12k hp and 400 melee) and start back on the titanosaur - we battle through the remainder of the night, and just after dawn the titanosaur falls. Yay, all safe and sound again, and time for my own bed!

Please do not freely allow transfers into Extinction. If you want to allow transfers in at all, then please restrict it to Dino's that were tamed on an Extinction server, that way the map maintains its well thought-out balance. There's no need to contaminate it with reapers, wyverns, and what all else all over the place along with contending non-stop with tame caps. Enabling transfers of all dinos into extinction solves no problem that presently exists.
