Dont believe this nonsense about getting rewarded for reporting bounties. When Ab and Extinction came out I was reporting tons of holes so big you could walk or fly a quetzal through many of them, allowing you free access to outside of the intended map. I never got anything, despite the impact it was having on the game. I also reported that you could build in the service of Ab SIX months before they caught a bunch of people on small tribes doing it. I was told by Jat it was not an exploit but a mere volume issue, so i wouldn't be getting a bounty, yet when, months later they caught those people building in these areas they dev-wiped all of them for EXPLOITING. I checked in on it again and never got a reply, and still haven't to this day(from anyone employed by WC at least).

Woo. quetz, and megalodon need to be made un-useless again!

Jat, Wildcard, guys....I think that the solution here would certainly just be to open a high rate network of clusters, Maybe cull a quarter of the current official ones, wipe them and ramp those suckers up to like 15x. And i am not talking some short term event style servers, I mean some plain ole official servers you can expect to stick around for a bit, just 15x.

My original idea, before seeing this posts, was to get a couple of people together to turn the conversion into a mod, that way it wouldnt have to be updated with every dev update like total conversions do. We wouldnt add anything(maybe down the line we could fork off a version that we add things too but at first I would just want a copy of Prim+ exactly how it is in a mod form). Ive messed around with the dev kit a few times so im not like a mod maker or anything but i have a couple friends that are and they would definitely teach us what we need to know to get this made. only hangup is I havent been able to get Ced or anyone to say if that would be allowed

Me waiting to find out the fate of prim+:

When do we get it, when crystal isles comes out or now?

Would anyone but up to taking on the task of converting it to a mod with me? I'm talking a strict conversion, no additions or changes(maybe after its completed we could fork the mod into a seperate one that would have new stuff).

"we believe we can eliminate meshing, an exploit that ruins the gaming experiences for many survivors across Official and Unofficial Networks." Negative, on unofficial we have attentive overwatch(admins) that keep it at bay

Yall some crybabies, this looks like a great update.

Ced(and I dont mean to call him out, hes doing great things with the community) DID say that Prim+ was initially made a Total Conversion for constest purposes as opposed to neccesity. It was a rather clever strategy(backed with legitimately great work)... Now, I do NOT know and wont pretend to know but I will guess that everything from Prim+ asset-wise, resource changes, all changes... could be placed into a mod and work not only well, but much better in that it wouldnt need to keep up its own seperate timeline of development AND would be much more versatile, much faster loading, etc. Anyone that knows otherwise feel free to correct me. Currently(and sadly), Nobody on unofficial will play the mode because its loadtime from being a TC. If it were just a mod like everything else then it would have a life on there as well, where admins can pick and choose which of the new dinos or items or engrams stay or go, its no longer the burden for the developer to bear alone there(except on official, but if they put up new PRIM+ servers with it being a mod instead of a TC and they just spent a couple hours refining their .ini settings itll be out the door with a bang, better than its ever been across the board-drops would work, new dinos would be there except for selected ones that arent appropriate like extinctions velos, manas, meks, etc.) That would be some massive content/playabillity/value added, a "revamp" of this loved mode for all systems, and all with relatively less extensive work than itd take doing that from the ground up(since its already been done, just has to be ported, theoretically). So everybody wins, yeah?

Ive got a trove of good news for you my friend lol 1)those glass walls with the quadrants are the same walls without them, you can select the models(1 side, 2 side, corner, 3 sides), and the transparency of each wall, so you can make only vertical lines of metal, or no lines, or do nothing and its quadrants. 2)building underwater. Outside of primitive, you can live in vacuum chambers all day, quite effective when used right. In primitive, Dont forget about the diplocaulus.(little newt guy that you ride and he gives you oxygen). That with a chowder will make staying underwater a while doable, especially with a small fleet of diplos following and a flank of sharks or something to protect you while youre below. Now, you cant live underwater like this, but you can absolutely keep a relatively hard to raid base down there, with a safe storage box for your diplos near, or if youre on island and snag one of the little caves, thats ideal perhaps) 3)Is there not a water reservoir in primitive+? its been a minute since ive been on but that sounds like what you are looking for. You COULD also tame some morellotops(ragnarok and scorched earth maps), and those guys can hold water for you like mobile tanks.

This, ladies and gentleman, is my new best friend.

Tiny salmon swimming in a stream, Tiny salmon chasing that impossible dream. The Myna Bird says ahhh ah ahhh, The chimpanzee says ayeeee, The friendly owl says whoooo who whoooo, But the salmon can only say, blooo blooo blo blooo blooo blo blooo, And it's sad

Hey Ced thanks for the update. I know if it were me personally I would be half-thinking "I don't even know if i want to do a crunch" because of some of the comments sometimes. lol Honestly though at this late in the games life cycle it's pretty awesome that it gets the attention it does from the devs, and new maps and content still. Also, someone above me mentioned primitive+ drops not working, it would be cool to get that back to normal, Its by far the best mode on official.

Give us 30-50x servers that wipe every month with boosted stats!

TIme to end the Hiatus SOTF is on:D

I dont play conquest servers, never have, but from an outside perspective, this hurts to see. I feel for all the people who do play it, they took that leap and invested a lot of time there...500 hours equals about 21 days straight, 1000 hours is 42 days worth of time....In a game mode that hasnt been out too terribly long. Thats substantial, and a real kick in the cryos to them. Granted, I think your new mode leaves far too much to be desired for me too play as it is, I certainly wouldn't risk falling prey to the same early demise as my fellow ark players on conquest. Sure, I play on unofficial servers that wipe once a month but you know what the difference is? They make it known when the end is to be expected from the get go, AND more importantly the rates arent a joke(30x) so that in a month you can get a hell of a lot done and youre ready to wipe. 2x? get on somewhere else with that noise, at this point, especially in light of the unreliability of the server still being there a month, or two or three from now, if its not at least 10x then its not worth it. On that note, why put out these new game modes that are SO close to the same ole modes already around? Why so afraid to take a leap and try drastically new things like significantly higher rates? That would both attract new players to official and help with the hesitance of people to even risk the investment as a result of this Titanosaur sized dookie of a revelation.

Have you tried teamviewer on your home pc through your phone? That would allow you to log into ark just enough to imprint but itd be laggy as all hell

looks pretty pay to win to me

1) I can say with certainty that i have met more legal aged adult players than ive met people 16 or younger on ark. windows not missed, and anyhow, with kids starting school....I dont know about you but thats like the blowoff part of the school year. I was in honors classes and can attest that the first 6 weeks of the school year are the easiest. Kids will have time. 2)About Dark and Light. Have you seen that game? Have you played it? Have you by chance seen the ini and game files? I have, and the funny thing is it all looked exactly like ark in many ways, particularly the ini and config files and file structure(right down to portions being copied and pasted pretty much, which you can tell because of the things like "dinofooddrain=1.0000" and stuff like that. This makes total sense because wildcard is owned by the same company that owns the dev studio that does Dark and Light. So, if it werent for wildcard then dark and light would be at square one still, and not with a premade and finely tweaked engine made by wildcard. Given that its a business nothing is free, like the use of that engine, even if it is their sister company so my point here is is Dark and Light suceeds then that means Wildcard succeeds. IT also suceeds by merit alone of the fact that the very foundation of that game was wildcards creation, so in that perspective if Dark and Light succeeds then thats something for WC to be proud of. It's pretty smart for the parent company, its like a guy going to a small town with no restaraunts and opening a mcdonalds on one side of a street and a burger king on the other side of the street. People will pick their side and some may dabble in both, and some may hate the opposing side. Either way, the guy owns both and still rakes in money by giving both options, seemingly pitted against each other.

If they announced plans to continue sotf...That wouldve been the absolute best news to hear. I wouldnt buy ark again for a collectors box but id pay the price of ark for sotf for sure

"You guys are always late with your updates!" Update comes early. "Its not good enough, ignoring that its on time, we want MOARRRRRR" chillout guys, be patient or stop playing ark on a toaster.

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Thank you Wildcard

I logged in to check on things, the peasants were gettings artifacts so I gave them the rare bit of praise then told them to make electronics and more turrets. Not wanting to spend ages flying anywhere to do anything else I logged off and gravitated here for some reason.
