I'm not sure you can. Unless they change something back. 

If Telescope is Spyglass, yes you should be able to look at structures at distance and see the decay timers. As I am an ASE player I cant 100% guarantee it, but I am pretty sure. Maybe they disabled it, or he has to press H? to let it show...

Yes, enemy and PvE dont really go together, but I think I understand him

Hallo Zusammen

Ich spiele seit geraumer Zeit auf einem EU Server und habe mir schon einiges gezähmt und gebaut. Der Server war immer auf meiner Favoriten LIste. Nun hatte Ark gestern ein Update und ich finde den Server nicht mehr. Ich habe ALLE EU Server aufgeschrieben und abgegrast. Ich finde ihn nicht mehr. Beim alten Ark gab es ne Liste mit meinen Ueberlebenden. Das gibt es bei ASA nicht soweit ich sehe. Gibt es eine andere Möglichkeit gespielte Server zu finden? Leider war ich so nachlässig und habe mir den Server nicht aufgeschrieben. Wàre froh um eure Hilfe.

Maybe your server is offline, was offline during your server search... A lot of servers, maybe do it again, and write down the server numbers. Look on Battlemetrics how many and which EU servers exist. (I see 100!?) Maybe it is also possible to see on BattleMetrics, which servers you have played on. You cannot see which players join a server, but maybe you can see it the other way around. (If you use a Steam account) I cannot see that because my account is glitched and there are a thousand DudeCrasher's, so I cannot say if looking for your Steam account will work.

I like Trains.

ok its the 1st of april so where is it ?                              APRIL FOOL

Its probably not just "opening the doors" And its probably also a steam/epic thingy. Plus they also probably use California time to release. Which means the rest of the world (EU) is actually already getting ready to sleep when they release it...

In general the big question with Wildcard is always:

WHY  WONT  THEY  RELEASE ???

to be fair tho the island to me is probably my least liked map besides the pearls cave base spots which i refuse to build in because fridges and dunke farming and stuff, but lets hope the changes they made to scorched are good and they actually well back to my first sentence .... it will be interesting to see how the new dinos and stuff work in with the map as well .... because of the oasasaur being what it is i wonder if its gonna be hard to do anything because the alpha could just use it as one big moving fob but i guess thats kind of what the titanosaur is and the fasolosuchus looks sick .

I just dont get it. A train in Ark? What does that mean? Will it be a GTA like train? How can they make you pay for a creatures abilities? Why even? Why does it need to be so large? A childs fantasy? Is its size actually practical? In what way could you NOT imbalance PvP, NOT expell a great PvE experience, and NOT create a sneaky money grabbing company, relying their income on P2W, instead of actual ( Dlcs arent even free anyhow) game experience quality. 
I imagen Dune content will make its way into Ark also 0.o I mean It has Sandworms, Ark SE has sandworms. For the full digital costume party you are going to need Dune content in Ark, right???
Ark: "Why on the Scorched Earth"
Its just going to be a cheap hype game from now on with little dept, little enriching immersion, little player base. The lower the player base gets, the more you will have to pay for anything coming out later on, probably...

To save money and time, just stop all together, its done, its over. All wildcard employees, just go home. Quit this nonsence...

Polished versions of games ended with the death of game console cartridges.  

Dog can't poop if he won't eat.

I have no idea what that means, but I like trains and dinos so I will buy Scorched Earth The Game. I mean its only €45,-
Also if a human doesnt eat, it saves money on food AND toilet paper...

The lost Guardians of Scorched Earth, at least getting a mentioning, or maybe even an appearance...
Maybe an Aberrant like creature, that ate the 3th guardian and could show the way or take you to Aberration...

Hey,

 

So,I logged onto my server last night and found this monstrosity of a character. It won't let me upload a picture but basically,you can see my characters hair but it's partially obscured by a bald head? Like,it looks like 2 heads mushed together. Anyone know how to fix this?

Sounds like you are using a hair mod, or other appearance or apparel mods. Wait till the mods are updated and adjusted to the new skeleton. Dont use mod-hair, apparel, or disable the mod in general.

Same here. Weather, fast spoiling times etc... this all made living on Scorhed Earth a lot harder than Island used to be at that time. But the only bug I recall happening was Terror Bird spawning inside the building and killing us while we were afk. 

Yes  The initial spoiling times were too much. You hardly had the time to cook prime meat. 
I also remember flying through the air all over the map for unknown reasons, mostly during combat I think. And there were useless pile ups of spawns in the mountains...
Lots of other bugs. The map was pretty bugged, but Ark in general was really bugged back then. I doubt the same amount of bugs will be there...
I mean, spawns are the same, spoil settings will be copy-pasted, and body collision or whatever caused the crazy flights, are long gone...

So my brother is telling me that leveling movement speed and then putting levels in other stats is useful than simply balancing stats, while I think otherwise. Is it true what he says?

Leveling movement speed is the only thing you should do. Life is about moving forward, do this as fast as possible... Its 2024, everything has to go faster... Speed shouldnt even be written down as "speed", its better written as sped, i mean its faster to type so you gotta do it...

Edit:
What do you mean? Character movement speed? Tames movement speed? 
Plans for Aberration? Luring Reapers, scouting the surface? 
Surviving a Gascloud or Mooshroom cloud, is done by having some HP...
Getting around in Radiation zone is usally not done on foot, so why invest in toons mevement speed...

Some typical Random generated "Females":

I dont know whats with the hair. But its clear that the Female toon doesnt have its skeleton made very characteristic...
It fits the Male toon a lot more, at least it doesnt appeal to be unrealistic or making it look like an extreme anomaly. (I know there are females that are unlucky and have this kind of body-build, but its not really common, nor does it fit a "young and athletic" toon for a "survival game"


After a good hour of work-outs in the character creation I was able to get it to look more to my preferences again and that helps for a better "total-immersion game-experience" again  Walking around on the Island like a HillBilly is funny, but it doesnt appeal to me that much...

I was able to get my character fixed by downloading a free mod map, and making a new character preset (saving it over my old preset) and didn't spawn in. I then deleted the mod map and went to my actual map and character. Then I used scissors to select that preset, the old preset didn't work but the new one had my character looking way better. Hope it helps someone with OCD even though it's annoying to do.

Im not sure if this has any advantage over creating a new toon on your SP world? The UI accesed by scissor is terrible for now. In SP I just take over my old stuff with new toon...
My old toon looked elegant and smooth. I cant get the same amount of elegance in it. Not even close. It looks like a "Female" Hooligan at best... I dont want to spend hours trying to get it back. It wasnt too hard with the previous skeleton...
Would love to be able to select skeletons or something.

That sounds like a visual allegory for the entire history of ARK.

Like the guy that was always "too busy" when you try to reach him. Never to be found anywhere. He made the Steamboat Willy Overhaul... 
When they found his "work" by lack of better they decided to publish it anyway... And promote it with pride. Turned employee of the year...

My formerly beautyful pretty female character is now looking like a imbred big booby momma with poop in the pants shaking it proudly. And its flexing her butt muscles everytime I stop to have everyone stare...

That big chunk of wood you run into, too high to get over...
That little steep cliff thats going to need a ladder to get ontop of...
I would like to have less difficulty traversing terrain and obstacles.

Let the walk button make you able to get into some kind of climb mode where step-height is increased.
When running into a fallen tree. Let your toon make some kind of horde movement, trip and roll animation or whatever. Not hit the chuck like its a wall.
Now it feels like everything above 45% angle is beyond impossible. Some other terrain though you can practically run up at 90% angle, like some builders.
Higher angles will slow you down for sure. But I think humans would be able to run, climb with hands, crawl upwards, up to a 60% angle.
Maybe I need a reality check, but when you run into a 60% angle slope you dont run into a wall. A decently fit person could use momentum to get up pretty high...

I guess I would like moving around in general to be more smooth and less limited.

Amazing!
I find it weird though that after 70 million years, its just there,only a few meters away from the open sky. I always imagen fossils to be found 50+ meters deep or something. Makes me think what else is below us, right under our feet and we dont know about...

It is baffling how understaffed the CS team is and that they sell a product worldwide but only support during local hillbilly time. Got to say, when my toon got tp'ed outside the ark, they helped me first thing the next working day. That was monday evening to me so I only was stuck for almost 3 days... Still, within their limitations excelent service!

My recent experience was simply insulting and not handled by the usual ASE support team but one of the well known names in the company, accusing me of breaking rules without any proof... So no way I can ever applaud the WC Studio team for "superb performance" if the STUDIO staff is rude and displays a totalitair dictatorial attitude towards customers.

I play Ark a long time, I find myself really lucky to not have to deal with any of that stuff big time. No real hurtfull character losses...  Though I was really protective of my toons, respecting strict rules for myself  I never did anything really breaking any COC though. I only got all my pillars "protecting" Queens Hall in Abb removed. I knew it was too much, I had every facility set up for public acces in that area though, I blocked everything else... I had it pillared for about 2 years before it finally got removed. I was very glad they only removed the pillars and not just "All my structures"... So even though I was "victim" They handles it pretty decent, again...

Ok... I have had both good and lately also very poor experiences with the support. A well earned "thank you" is good nice.

But... "sustained and superb performance" of WC Studio???
Sorry my dear bot, the lack of performance is the resaon you need assistance!

I have had some decent help from the ASE official Gms. But the irritating part is that you have had to scedule most appointments 2-3 weeks into the future. I live EU but most appointments that were open were USA time, so...
Because of strict rules and limitation on what you can help for, I doidnt bother many times, i just cryed it out. But the 1-2 times I asked for help, the help was pretty decent. GM On time etc...
There was also this one time an official GM came to help someone else on the server and he/she changed the daytime. He said in Global: Sorry, Couldnt see *Anything*
In my mind I was taming a Megalosaurus and it waked up and ate all my pets... Not really, but it was a weak performance from that GM, wasnt neccecery i would say...
I probably have a screenshot, I record EVERYTHING. I think the GMs name was Raptor or something...

>> Joke he said: "Sorry needed some light 😆"  and it wasnt GM Raptor.

Hi, now that in Ark Ascended the mutations have their own separate counters, like base stats, is there a mean to spawn a dino with mutations ?

There is the command SpawnExactDino but this command exists since ASE and therefore you can't specify mutations for the new ASA system, as far as I know.

I ask this because I'm an admin and if a player on my server loses a mutated dino because of a bug, I can't respawn it with its mutations. That's especially detrimental for breeders, and there are several breeders on my server who reproduce highly mutated dinos.

I think creatures have like this Sample ID thing. I think you will need a mod that re-creates creatures using this ID. 
I am not sure this exsist for ASA. But I hope i remember this correctly and there are mods for that, at least ASE...
-> Looking for it, but cant find it... Maybe it was an option on the dino-recovery ticket form...
Im not really helpfull, sorry...

Hi,

ASA:
I would like some help getting the creatures in my SP world to have less torpor.
I can change the HP, Melee easiiy but I am having a hard time figuring out how to change the amount or torpor both wild and tamed creatures have.
I change the Torpor and resistance per level etc, but new dinos dont seem to have lower torpor stats.
What can i do to affect torpor levels or torpor infliction?

Thanks Pipinghot  
But I am still wondering if there is a way to actually decrease level amounts of torpor.
I really want to make the game more interesting by having way lower Torpor/Resistance levels, so that eg. a Argy lvl 200 cant tank houndreds of bug stings and not have to worry about a thing...

Hi,

I am playing ASA singleplayer now and I feel the lack of excitement walking with my dinosaurs across the Island.
Is there a way to increase their spawns locations across the map? Not to have them only spawn at their original, way too easy to avoid, locations?

If you store them full with Kentros, I think they have the potential power to destroy all the evil in the world.

That's exactly the spot I'm in. My argy shouldn't be able to take a giga with only minimum effort. I didn't realize the damage amounts weren't basic, and by the time I figured it out, I was already breeding my rex packs.

Gonna be very tough to play solo with official damage levels, but might be the way to go at least to get a better idea of what Tweeks are needed to keep it engaging.  Ty for your thoughts on it

 

Yeah. To make SP a bit more exciting, I always disable the "Use SinglePlayer Settings" 
Not sure how its really called but its in the options and gives a SP handicap boost.
With SP-Settings every stat gets insane boosts. I think Stats like HP are like doubled. So that makes all wildlife just a bunch of meatbags and they can hardly do more than nibble on your pets toes...

Either way, wildlife threats will be gone a few good hours into the game. Once you got your 100% imprint lvl 225+ Rex, most enemies are not a real threat anymore. Then progression is going for Bosses and then wait for the next DLC.
Will take some time for sure to get your Boss armies ready for Dragon, Alpha Bosses, Overseer...

It’s ur pc not the servers. I’m running 100 ping without crashes in weeks on 9266

I know it partly is. Doesnt make my official-servers experience less frustrating. 
But its not only my pc. The official servers are laggy as Pego, and for whatever reasons I cant even properly connect. I get timeouts or something I dunno. I dont want to troubleshoot it because its probably an endless battle. The connecting issues, event gifts not working, AI stupidity, general lag, Inventory crashes, the list goes on...
I have decent internet and a decent PC, even though its weak compared to modern Pcs...
Yet I have significantly less problems running SP, the difference SP - Official is insane.

SP is enjoyable for me for now...
