As bummed as I am about not having some of the bugs fixed that are in the game that make it hard to play and not getting those skins, I am happy that it's now on PS4, I know a few friends and family that only use that and cannot wait for them to be able to play this game that I love (and hate at times). Welcome to Ark PS4 players you're in for a wild ride, both good and bad. LOL

Perhaps instead of allowing you to go from all officials to all other officials you do something similar to the clusters you first set up, but have clusters of different sizes and the cluster size would determine max tribe sizes. So with a cluster of just SE, Island and Center you have max tribes set to 15. Then next you'd have a cluster of 2 of each and a max tribe size of 25. Cluster of 4 of each and max tribe size of 40. Heck have an even larger cluster with no limits to tribe sizes. And so on, I'm just pulling numbers out of the air, they're not thought through, but just another idea. Then you'd have folks who want to have PVP with comparable size tribes, and larger and larger cross cluster battles between tribes of larger and larger sizes. People would be able to better choose what sort of tribe size best fits with what they want to play. Though tribe size is tricky as one might have an alliance as part of the normal tribe setup, or could have an unofficial alliance. So one might be able to work around tribe size settings.

Early next week I last read.

Not yet.

Yep, just bought scorched earth because of the transfers to there can happen and because it's $5 off with Xbox Live Gold right now.

On the heat map, what are the dark rectangular areas around swamps? Is it just that fewer things spawn there or is something else going on around those areas? RE The exploits and such, it seems well handled for the PC, the Xbox seems to have some limitations at least as far as Dedicated Servers go. Will we be able to get better ways for Admins to keep trolls and exploiters and griefers away? Right now it seems there are some bugs or limitations in how the admins can block users. It seems to either crash when they try to ban or the bans don't seem to take effect when the server crashes for other reasons or is restarted after updates. Even if the user is not a friend of the server gamer tag they can join via another user that is. And thanks for the updates and listening. While not everyone is going to be happy with the changes, the changes seem reasonable so far. We'll have to see how they play out.

Going to guess it'll have to be very different in setup, but it appears Xbox will get Procedurally Generated Arks in Dec. Oh and for the PC folks as well RE improvements.

No fair betting on something that's already been removed from the list for the next patch. ;P

Woot! Thank you!

And now this:

Might be back on now for Xbox.

Not picking on anyone specifically and not excusing WC in general for how this was handled, but Jeremy did indeed have a recent thing occur in his life, if you follow his twitter account, that I myself surely would have been devastated to have happen in my life and might possibly be the reason he's away. Not going to bring up specifics here, but you can find it if you read his tweets over the last few weeks. FWIW I'm not happy at all with the way things have happened for us Xbox and PC folks communication wise, I support WC and enjoy playing the game, but still I am disappointed for sure in losing out on the Fear Evolved event and the way it was handled. Yeah, I know First World Problem for sure.

How about making the Scorched Earth DLC discounted on Xbox to make up for this major let down with no Fear Evolved event for us on console? @Jat

Not sure when it will happen or how they'll do it but I asked @Jeremy Stieglitz About getting max/min values and @Jat responded with this a bit ago.

Gotta link to the video? Us Xbox players need to live vicariously though the PC folks for a while now. LOL

Anyone tried to get a desert biome along with the other type biomes? Hard to tell from the description/setup info in the first post and I'm on an Xbox so cannot try, but it seems like there are params for it. But it's hard to tell if you can only pick like say a SE map and then add PGM params to have a desert biome included or vice versa.

Great to know but to be on the safe side, I'd back up my ini and game save files just in case though.

LOL Sorry, pretty excited about several things here and looking forward to them on the Xbox now. Gotta live vicariously though the PC folks until then.

Nitpick, "MaxSawnPointHeight" is not spelled correctly in the first guide post, though does look right in the ui that someone put in the thread. Are the desert biomes not included in PGM? A fit and finish type bug. The text in the 2nd column appears to my old eyes to not be left aligned properly starting at the Snow tree density item. Will caves, beacons, sea drops, and other similar items be configurable?

looks like it might be a bit longer now.

Pretty sure you're getting trolled or else the reading comprehension here on the forums is far worse than I notice it to be. LOL But you're much nicer than I would be.

Fits with Scorched Earth pretty well.

Pretty sure it's gonna be like this.

So looking forward to exploring unmapped new worlds with the procedurally generated maps.
