Couldn't help myself and decided to give a shot on Gen 2. Did most missions and all of the gamma ones.
Went on today and defeated the final boss (gamma). Apparently, you can cheese gigas in, which in turn made the fight interesting, yet trivial.

I absolutely love the theme for gen 2 and it gives me the chill! Looking forward to it.

Still working on Glacius in the ADK. Now that my new version is fully released, I started to work on some new & cool stuff. On top of my list is to create a first new unique creature along with a new structure tier, as per popular demand.

They'll be made of pykrete, which is basically an ice allow made of, you guessed it, ice with sawdust/woodchips. The real thing essentially has concrete-like mechanical properties, but I won't spoil everything yet with my own version as they'll offer something different to shake up the PvP meta.

Oh, here's a promo image of my new update.
Cheers!

@ShadowRazvan Have you tried this one? https://discord.arkmodding.net

Can anyone please recommend a good tutorial for making a map? (or a discord server, anything that can help)

The ones I found on youtube are extremely hard to follow and I have some custom dinos + great ideas that I would love to implement.

While some resources are outdated, they can still be relevant. However, the best would be to join the Ark modding discord.

INB4 the entire wasteland is pillared.

Glad meteors are a thing. (wink)

From the Discord :

v324.16 - 03/05/2021 - minor version update
- Reworked TEK Helm to function like the shoulder cannon so that tapping 'E' no longer cycles visors instead holding 'E' will bring up a pinwheel which players can use to toggle or cycle the visor.
- Corrupted Dinos no longer damage player structures on PvE
- Made some tweaks to the Artifact system in single-player to resolve some scenarios where some artifacts (such as Skylord) would spawn/respawn unreliably.
- Fixed invisible bees.
- Fixed a bug that allowed players to escape through the ceiling barrier on some maps
- Fixed a client crash related to movement
- Fixed a client crash related to attacking with creatures
- Fixed a bug where the Colour ID was displaying incorrectly on Cryopods
- Fixed an exploit that allowed players to avoid turret damage
- Fixed a bug where enemy creature floating HUD names would still cost client performance even when not rendered
- Fixed a bug where the Shoulder Cannon was targeting allied creatures on PVE
- Fixed a server crash

Still working on it, I'm just very focused and don't play the game much these days. Here's a few shots of the first cave (not 100% finished)

Im here, what's up?

Guess this a good way to bury ark which is broken beyond repair. We complain this broke or that broke and wildcard be like ok heres a new map or dinos instead. Also who cares about ark 2 since im on playstation the platform that made ark popular since it was failing on pc before ps4 are getting left out of ark 2. Bravo wildcard you did the wrong thing again, we tired of you screwing up.

PC and their mods is what kept it afloat.

Oh no.  Please keep that tek garbage out of Ark 2.  It is what ruined the first game.

That's for the TV show, not the actual game.

shut up and enjoy the good news man

Oh look, another kid who fail to realize the game is still alive mainly because of its modding community.

Still not a SINGLE word in regards to modding.

@DodoRaptor Problem is one of the Mei-Yin notes specifically states her father trained her as he didn't had a son.

Yeah, absolute beast and hawkeye worthy of a shooter.

My main question is if this is the same Santiago from Extinction or not, because I seem to remember him dying and having a grave on the map. Not saying an Ark couldn't have recreated him or something but ya know

His death was heavily implied and there was a grave, but it was never confirmed in the notes if he did actually die. There was also no mentions of a body, to my knowledge.

I did some research and the best UE version they can technically have is UE 4.26, which in theory would support existing assets.

UE5 is due late-2021 and Fortnite will be the first game to feature it.

@Cedric Serious questions here :

- Will the new game support modding?
- Will you guys keep on doing the Mod Sponsorship for the current game?
- Assuming the new game does support mods and uses a newer version of UE4, will we modders be able to port our work to the new game?

Being curious because I'd hate to see my last few months of work, creating a unique map going into the trash can...

I think the minions are 1 of three things, a tribal like being that misevolved, a species on one of the arks and this is earth, or a species on the arrival planet. I do not belive that it is corrupted, as they don’t look much like that 

Some friends also suggested nameless due to the spikes on their bodies.

Looks like the room in the final part of the trailer might be part of the genesis ship, but greatly aged.

I’m wondering what the orcs were 

 

and was that a wooly Rex? Or a yuty 

Orcs are prolly rockwell minions and we can clearly see Santiago & Genesis simulation in the trailer. I suspect the trailer takes place at the final destination.
