  1. We have made this suggestion at least 100x in the last 5 years.
  2. I'm not sure what the current plan is, but in the past they saved the servers from the moment they announced their closing. If they follow this same procedure, then they would have set aside the server saves the day they announced ASA. It would be nice to have some confirmation of that though.
  3. cheaters can do the same thing wc is doing with the code, run it through a UE5 converter and they would have a significant start on reverse engineering ASA.
  4. considering they are just porting over the game to UE5, much of the existing code would be relevant to hackers on ASA. I don't think this is a good idea.
  5. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to call out a flaw in your logic here. The most incompetent development team ever award goes to the original Dark and Light developers who sold the game to snail games. While wildcard isn't a AAA producer, they aren't the most incompetent ever.
  6. I hope so. Especially have them buy it and find themselves still banned after buying would be satisfying.
  7. arkids.net , you can find any command you want there. It would be just like how the GMs join tribes to fix in tribe issues today. You can force yourself into any tribe you want on your instance of any gamesave that you want once they are downloadable. You can install a mod to sort every single item they have in one view. THen go check another base and do the same thing all over again.
  8. The game has been out for years now, there has been post after post like this one, and no massive uproar has ever occurred. Official is open to all, and is first come first serve product. Its just like if you go to a restaurant, and there's no tables open, first come first serve. You can easily play on single player or on a private server, any way you want to. But playing on a public server, with the rules they have set, doesn't let any of us play exactly how we want on officials. Truthfully - aside from not being able to build where ever we want to, we are able to play the game and do everything that is possible to do in the game otherwise on PVE. You can build a base, maybe not in the prefect spot for you, but there is tons of open space on PVE servers at this very moment, this is the most ridiculous moment to make the argument that there is nowhere to build. I'm gliding all over the server I've been playing on this week, and I can't stop finding open space. There's tons of places to take over on my gen2, center, aberration servers that I have bases on. The area I gave up on my abberation server has been open for the last 2 months with nobody moving in to take it over. Its not very logical to assume that we can park our bases wherever we want to on a public server. That logic would mean 10+ people could all build on the same spot.
  9. I can give one solid reason to leave that particular area you pictured pillar spammed. Its the area below my base on gen2, and there's a nice spawn point for ferox, and striders right there. I didn't block off that area, and people have been moving in there constantly and ruining the spawns, they even put in tek turrets to kill off the good spawns that I liked to tame in that area. You are a new player, you have no clue why player do what they do. There is more than 1 reason to block off an area from being built upon.
  10. I would make raft traps that you can move up and down the river, you can lure a rex into the trap then drive it away to a safer area. Also, if the allos got in the trap with the rex, you can tame them all at once. they don't hurt each other when fighting you, or being tamed while another is knocked out. Also, cementing paste can come from the riding the frog and attacking the ants and flys. There's a cave in the redwoods that is loaded with those flies. Everything about ark though is super difficult in beginner settings. You get in a fight and your mount could pass out from how long it takes to defeat another animal. Once you use max level settings, the animals you can tame will have much more lasting power and power in general. The megatherium with bugs around that it can regularly attack is one of the most powerful mounts you have access to. That is a really good idea to seek out one of those. The beelzebufo, however its spelled, the frog, is a super good travel mount early on too. It jumps far, swims fast, and doesn't drown.
  11. Breeding, making an army of tames to start taking on the bosses. And caving. going into the caves can get you better equip, saddles, blueprints... Have you built shelter that is at least made of stone? Metal can't be damaged by anything except arthropluria. Upgrading and making yourself some room to raise your dinos.
  12. you should be ok. You might not be able to build on top of the platform in that area though. I don't really know what the game will do in that case. I just know there are spots that people have been able to build into and the structures stay.
  13. If I remember correctly, gigas and titans share a spawn limit. I forgot if it was 3 or 4 being the upper limit for how many total can be on the map at 1 time. If you see the titans, take them out, they are cutting down your chances I believe. @Pipinghot made a great suggestion on how to make the game replace the titans with carchs instead.
  14. if the game forced you to spawn back at a bed, the game thought you were dead. Is it possible that while you were trying to cancel the mission, you were killed? How did you quit the mission?
  15. Any food stat over 7800 will raise a baby crystal wyvern to adult with no food on 2x or 3x breeding rates. It’s entirely possible to not realize they only ate the meat after they fully raised during events.
  16. Crystal wyverns only eat primal crystal as babies, unless you are running a mod that changes that.
  17. When cleaning fans, it’s important to hold them still so they do not spin. If you blow compressed air or gas into them, they spin faster than they do under normal operations. This causes the packing. Grease to dry up and they begin to spin slower. This is the insidious problem, they look like they work because they still spin, they just don’t spin fast enough anymore.
  18. Mutagen gives that +20 to wild tames, or clones of wild tames. Once they are bred, all babies can only get the +1 boost that is not inheritable. There is no going back, unless you have the first wild tame with the stat you want to boost. That means having the original HP, stam, we, melee all separate originals would have to be mutagened individually, then you would merge the results through breeding.
  19. Yeah , that part is hella sus. Paying for hosted mods when the modders get such a bad cut isn’t very kosher.
  20. people have been charging players on private minecraft servers for years. This is not against the CoC and is a very common way of private servers paying the fees needed to keep the server running.
  21. Since all of this information is going to be made available to the players, why not give us not just the last snapshot, but some snapshots from before that final moment. Right now all the biggest cheaters, as of the moment of the 3/31 announcement, still have bases in game. The game saves of this very moment, or any date from the last couple of weeks, will be a treasure trove of data on the bad actors. If there was something to help you make your products better in the future, some of it is definitely sitting in the data files you still have at the moment. If you let your player population have at it, you will have several orders of magnitude of eye balls reviewing it. All the mesh bases, all the lag machines ... I would hazard a bet that most of this will be decaying away soon enough, this is the time to preserve that info and hopefully release it with the final game saves you release. At least that would give me something to do while you drive everyone crazy with the next product.
  22. If this wasn’t some horrible April fools prank, then I agree, rip off the bandaid now. I probably won’t be refreshing based to the end if it’s really coming up in august.
