Oh you released Ark on another platform? You gonna leave that one in the dust and never update it like the one on Switch?

Switch was a bad idea to begin with.

I’m noticing something, the word ENGINEERED we think Rockwell has been doing that, but this guy appears to be not in his garden, rather in the eden biome.... it also appears not to be very element looking... i don’t belive this is Rockwell’s creation... so... what... was the creatures on the ship made to be usefull by the creators of the ship? If not, who engineered it?

If I had to guess, I would say this creature was engineered by whomever initiated the Genesis protocol to help sustain animal populations on the Lifeboat during it's interstellar voyage.

nah this cannot be the case, if official pvp has taught us anything its that gigas are poo and if gigas are to be used then there needs to be a hard counter to them and building needs an overhaul because its absolutely no fun farming over and over and over just to keep getting wiped at stone because you are putting all of your resources towards being able to craft necessary defenses, if you build with thatch or wood bobs will prim hatchet your stuff and if you build with stone some ass with a mana and full flak will find you in 10 mins any server easy and c4 your door and popcorn your worthless to them belongings, as ark stands there is an inherent bias to combat and the fastest way to kill off players  and the future prospects will be allowing ark 2 to play like ark 1, and really if the way ark 1 plays you like so much why do you want ark 2 to be the same or similar? seems counter productive to progress.. every smaller creature needs a pack buff just to compete with a giga like after the recent changes to megalodons i can now kill enemy gigas where as before i couldn't and that's only in the water!!! what if argies got the same pack buff? there's the hard counter, a flock of 10+ argentavis to take down a gig seems like fair game but watch as all the giga cucks refute that, face it you like having an advantage over others and you like to bully them with it but what if you couldn't predict if you had an advantage, that's right i bet half of you wouldn't leave the confines of your base and your safe turrets, you'd be too scared to loose what you hold so dearly.

There may not be a hard counter on Officials but any server running Ark Additions has the perfect Giga ass-kicker... Acrocanthosaurus!

Only the coolest Dino available in the entire game!

Oh please. Mei Yin over the course of the notes fell in love with Diana, so it's not like the story hasn't had non-straight people. Also...having read all the explorer notes, I don't recall a SINGLE reference in Helena's notes indicating what her romantic preference was, so since she's WC's character, they're the ones who get to choose that for her. Also, the synopsis mentions 'after tragedy' she wakes up on the island, so it's very possible her mother and wife (like Mei Yin's brother) are only ever seen in flashbacks and die. Since she IS alone on the Island.

I’m kinda miffed that they are pre-empting Meiyin and Diana’s relationship though. If the series ever gets that far it won’t have as much impact.

Sorry to ruin your day but they said in the stream. It is the end. It’s the final DLC

Yeah, but now they can make "Ark: Survival Unlimited", or whatever the next gen will be.

Good add ons , but I think it would be better to focus on game breaking exploits like meshing and aimbot, which are ruining the experience for many players on pvp servers.

Do you ever read their website at all? Literally the last 50 updates have all addressed meshing and other forms of cheating. I really hope you are being tongue in cheek about this...

Or maybe they should balance PvE and PvP with different rule sets so we wouldn't have to contend with your insufferable elitism? 

I don't know, PvP crowd has always seemed way more elitist to me.

Are you suggesting that pvp balance should be neglected in favor of placing worker hours to enhance the pve of this game?

I mean... PvP is not exactly the be all end all of Ark. There are other games for that...

So they announce a new season pass and almost everyone thinks this is the right place to cry about bugs and demand a rollback?

More on topic, the fact that this Season Pass is not free is bogus. Anyone who owns THE season pass should get these new DLCs. That was literally the sales pitch when the first season pass came out. Buy the season pass and get ALL dlcs.

 

Not sure if I want to dump any more money into this game just based on the greed move alone. At least lower the price down to $20 since this will only include two DLCs

All PLANNED DLCs. These were not planned at that time. That was one season, this is another season, and therefore a separate purchase.

So is this a new dlc or is it going to be a new season pass or is it being added to the season pass already and by part one and part two dose this mean we’re only getting half of the map in 2019 and the rest 2020

It is a brand new Expansion Pack which comes in Two Parts, each part will have a distinct but connected storyline and separate maps.

Little upset the Gacha clamping is happening so late after release.  Doesn't effect our unoffical much but I can't imagine what official looks like with those items.

Official server should be fine because no matter how high the item quality is after server restart the damage percentages should drop to either to 298% or 310% depending on who you ask.

Not quite sure about that picture, but I do believe none of the maps will have snow covered areas. I'm not sure if there is any area that has an increased snow coverage, but there won't be snow-covered maps. In all honest i don't believe there will be any difference in snow coverage.

It was mentioned by ChrisW here: 

 

Ah well, that’s kind of sad, but I completely understand. It would be a ton of work. Hopefully 2020 and beyond when they’re working on Ark’s sequel they can build their maps in such a way that similar changes would be much less daunting. *fingers crossed*

Regardless , looking to be an awesome event!

Yes fix pc, xbox,and ps4 and not switchwith terrible mesh and graphics.

There's basically nothing that can be done for Switch, sorry to say. It simply doesn't have the hardware backing.

Jen thanks everything you and WC team do to make ARK even more a success! 

 question please on #Extinction #orbitaldrops and #elementveins in #PVE Will this new claim prevent allies from looting a successful defense? and must the drops/veins be CLAIMED in order to begin the event PVE now forcing ad hoc groups not to be viable?

Even if it does prevent looting by allies, you can simply redistribute loot at your leisure.

It looks like the maps have (at least some) increased snow coverage. Am I seeing that right?

I think it's pretty safe to say at this point that you guys will always have my support. ❤️ I look forward to the future of ARK and I'm excited to jump into Atlas as well!

Amazing how WC’s whole customer base is made up of these sages who always have something to “teach” the Devs. I’m not sure what exactly ya’ll want them to “learn,” but from where I’m standing I think you have some learning to do.

Not buying this like I didn't buy Extinction, Abberation, or Scorched Earth since your company has either been too lazy, too petty, or too ignorant to make the flyer nerf properly optional. Your people were even scummy enough to lie a few times that Ini. settings would eventually get implemented. (You people can scrub mentions of it off here, but you can't scrub it off google.)

I’m sorry you’ve denied yourself so much amazing content over a stupid flyer nerf, which you probably wouldn’t even care about as soon as you got your first Wyvern.

Interesting! This is not the direction I was expecting things to go, but this is exciting! Can't wait to see what's coming and I wish both teams all the luck in the world. 

So there is no local co-op...?

(Side note: While Ragnarok and The Center technically aren't Story ARKs, they DO make a cameo outside the overseer arena, to the right of the Aberration ARK. So they DO exist in the ARK universe, we're just not supposed to visit them.)

This is absolutely not true. I just went through the Ascension sequence and the ONLY ARKs visible from the Overseer Platform are The Island, Scorched Earth, and Aberration. There is nothing that looks even remotely like Ragnarok or The Center either geographically or otherwise. Not even the tiny ones in the distance. 

I'm really confused as to why the trailer is not being released tonight... I mean, the point of advertising is to generate hype, and you don't need hype for something that is already available?

You all are being unbelievably childish.

No, I have NO IDEA what it could POSSIBLY be, it looks NOTHING like any creature we have seen before! ?

5 months?? Are you trying to kill the game?

Why does no one talk like this to other studios when they release trailers for things that aren't coming out for years?
