I was using a mod that had storage with larger capacity. The dev had many items besides the storage and forgot to include the storage chests and vaults in his latest updates. This caused me to lose everything I had in those storage chests and vaults, and doing a backup from a previous save did not bring everything back. Just wanted to add this post to warn  folks of this possibility.

weird, was allways a thing in evolved.....try to build a NEW cookpot??

This was a good idea, but sadly it didn't work. Thanks for the tip though!

I have some wishbones from killing turkey's but when I look in the cooking pot there isn't anything special. Am I missing something?

I looked in the Community Crunch but it didn't say anything about how to activate this.

Hello.

Me and my girlfriend have started playing on official PVE and I would like to know what are the dangers for our base/dinos.

Can people kite wild dinos to our base to kill our dinos and destroy everything? Do I need high metal walls around everything to be safe?
Can our dinos be damaged through walls? Should our dinos be set on passive or neutral?

I just kinda wanna know what is the standard way of playing on PVE and keeping your stuff safe and what to look out for form someone who's experienced on official PVE.

Thank you.

If you play on unofficial there are some great mods people are adding that make the game pretty fun. You may want to check out one of those.

If so, can you tell me where you found it? I'm figuring caves but not sure which ones to check. Thanks!

Hi,

am I the only one that thinks PC graphics looks extremly bad since Xbox launch? The industrial cooker was clean and mirroring all the surrounding and players... Now it's just dirty and ugly. It seems all the "Bling bling" seems to be gone now....

Had very nice reflections and graphics before Xbox launch patch. Now especially the water of the sea looks ugly.

Any thoughts / ideas?

Yeah it can be rough. Try messing with the settings for video may help. My guess is they will continue to update in hopes of fixing this but it may not be noticeable immediately.

Has anyone else noticed the amount of levels 5 to 50 there are compared to any over 100 to 150?  Green orb is flooded with phiomas no higher than 50.  Puny raptors lvls 10 to 35 and parasaurs.

Also, on ASE there were areas packed with dinos, now there are many barren areas.  Too many ichtys and megladons, hardly any rexes, megatheriums, spinos.  I ran around the red wood earlier literally on foot and made it to the other side, (east to west) without a dino in sight.   ASE was a different story, the risk was alot higher.

Hardly any fish in lakes, rivers, pools.  Caves have dinos falling through the floors.  

The game feels empty 😔😔😔

 

I haven't really noticed the lack of dino's, but I'm playing on unofficial. The story maps have always suffered from lower level dinos vs the non-story maps like Center and Rag. It's been that way since the beginning. It has something to do with difficulty setting on these maps.

The transfer all with left bumper is hosed and useless.

Using the right trigger to move stacks of items and make radial menu selections is actually quicker than ASE, once you get used to it. 

I rarely use the curser. It's good for somethings. 

I would say when hitting orbital drops it was so much faster to land, grab the loot and fly away was massively faster in ASE. I've found the fastest way to grab loot now is to use the right bumper, transfer my crap to the drop and then back again. Do you think you could actually use the system you mentioned faster for this purpose or just standard transfers?

I love Ark and I rarely complain but this UI is bad and it makes me sad and annoyed. Easy transferring items from one place to another is gone, you can do a quick transfer from your inventory to another, but not easily the other way around. The curser is pretty clunky and seems tailor made for PC. Can anyone point to any improvements at all over ASE? I'm not seeing any. The menu system for changing anything is super clunky with needing to hit right trigger to select. I can go on an on this just seems like a major step back with the UI in my opinion but I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts. 

Interesting question. I have had issues on my Gen2 server, but didn't realize folks were having issues on other Gen2 servers. Good to know! The strange things I've had happen lately are I've had 2 dedicated storage boxes disappear off my ocean platform on Gen2 at different times. They would be there forever and then one day I had one with over 200K Element Shards just vanish. Then I had another one I was using for metal which was also on the ocean platform and it vanished as well. Looking in the tribe log neither one of them were listed as decaying, being destroyed or anything. Just gone.

Then I logged in today and noticed the bed for my Stryder in space wasn't showing up. My stryder there is in a small metal building next to a TP so I transferred via TP over there and the Stryder was gone. Building is closed and nothing in the tribe log. Very strange...

Any plans to open PVE LDL servers?

Wildcard I don't even get to play the new map because my map is down I would have to make a new character. On crossark13 island

There aren't any transfers to the new map anyways. I'm on CrossArk12. I'd just create a new character on Lost Island if I were you.

Playing on CrossArk12 on Xbox. I try to transfer to Lost Island but it's grayed out. Any idea what's going on there?

Checked out a spot where I saw a guy last night sitting out by a transfer station with his giga and Wyvern. He left a turret there with dead batteries and about 1000 bullets in it for me to take. How nice of him!

Any chance this mode will be coming to console?  I'd love to try it out!

Kinda sad to see auto-decay coming back.  I know it's absolutely necessary with PVE, but not so much with PVP. Seeing the remnames of half destroyed bases is great and they can be useful for small tribes starting out.  We built a very small base hidden in the woods and we use the Smithy and forges in an old raft that was abandoned.  I guess we'll have to build our own now.

Ah, I see. Personally, I use a different character on every map because I’m always afraid an update or rollback will prevent transfers or delete my character. It’s a pain leveling each, but my dinos don’t starve and my bases don’t decay. 

yeah and actually this works well with my new strategy as well in using different different accounts.  I've never actually lost a character due to a rollback or glitch, only to the before mentioned transfering a character over another in the same account...

You can only use one character for each account. Not everyone has multiple accounts. If someone logs onto the server where their lost character resides, it will delete it, and they wouldn’t be able to access any of their tribal stuff from the other character anyway.

 

Nevertheless, if a person has lost a character due to the rollback, they might be best served by creating a new character on a map they haven’t had a character on. At least then, they can try to participate in the event and just transfer the colorful dinos to their other server when their original character is restored.

This was my point.  ANYONE can create a 2nd account, at least on XBOX you can.  Some folks do it simply for the purpose of having a crafting character, in this case I'd do it so you can continue to play.  If you are in a solo tribe then of course you can't be added to your tribe, but if not then another admin can add your 2nd character.

Also while I've created multiple characters, one for different maps on the same account I can't say I recommend it.  I've accidentally overwritten these characters by transferring my main onto that same map.  I've done this at least 2 or 3 times so I can't say I'll be doing things again that way anytime soon.

Did anything in the patch notes actually get implemented?

Raptor Claus is still around.

There is no crosshair for spyglass.

There is no whistle land command for flyers.

 

Are you on a dedi server? We haven't seen Raptor Claus for weeks on official...

We’re 2 updates behind PC. Both patches are big so we’ll need one before the other. I’d imagine they will submit the other patch for certification soon after.

I sure hope so. I'm not typically one to complain but I really need those features LOL

Hmmm, I don't see the Cryopod update for baby imprinting and mating timers.  Seems like a simple fix, wonder why we aren't getting that one yet?  It's the only one I was looking forward to!

Well when the Xbox gets this patch I think I'll wait a day before I do anything crazy LOL

This change is taking away my favorite aspect of the game. No more reason for me to play with the kibble rework. I like the progression of the kibble chains. Thanks WC! Time to go find a new game to sink my 1500 hours into. 

Classic example of you can't please everyone LOL
