Thank you very much for working on optimizations. This is greatly appreciated. I hope the Lord's work continues in this manner.

Hey Ced, what does being a "sponsored mod" mean? I'm new around these parts.

Any other gaming company would have banned a player for mass revealing exploits. The Ark CSR's are a heck of a lot nicer than they ought to be. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the -vocal minority- of the players here on the forums are a heck of a lot more toxic than anywhere else I've seen. To the younger players out there: you may think that being on the Internet gives you a lot of anonymity, but your reputation will follow you. Also, a Wiseman once said, "Treat people for who you are, not for who they are." Please realize that the devs and CSR are people just like you and me. Are you the type of person that wants to say negative things to people? People don't like negative people. You're going to find yourself pushing people out of your life with this demeanor. That makes for a very lonely path you travel.

I think WC was spot on with their first reaction and soft with the second. Not just soft, but set a very bad precedent. Ced, can I appeal HOD's appeal? You've never seen a hive with more scum and villainy as with youtubers. WC doesn't need their ilk around here.

The problem with the old system was that it didnt leave a very good path to move forward with new creatures. It didn't make for a logical path to expand the game with. It was good for the base game and a couple additions after that. So if you are faced with two bad choices you choose the least bad. This "egg size" system makes a logical path forward for new creatures to be added in a more horizontal manner. Where you can put new creatures in a tier they classify with. That they have an equal relative value (however that is determined). I am not, however, going to argue which dino's they put in the various tiers as good decisions. so don't force that down my throat. It clearly needs tweaked.

I am similarly confused as salty. Onimusha, if you think the last kibble tier dino's are useless why are you complaining? Sounds like you will never tame them, if that's the case then the difficulty of the last tier won't effect you. Making the second to last tier -your- last tier. Which is relatively easy to obtain. Personally, the way I see the end game being played the Yuty's buff (+25% to melee of your dinos, I believe) is -HUGE-. Without it you would be forced to spend that much more time breeding for mutations. In other PvE games I've played these buffs are essential to being able to beat encounters. I don't see this being any different. I see spending the time it now takes to tame a Yuty as an easy trade off to being able to finish the PvE game. I agree the giga should be in the last tier. The ease of gathering meat brings you into the realm of being able to mass raise meat eating dinos. Regardless of not being able to be used in the PvE end game I think the giga is well worth the effort of being in last tier. Thyla's are useful, but not on the same level as giga/yuty. I would value them at slightly less than rexes, but maybe still worthy of being in the same tier. I can't speak to griphons as I've mostly played on center/island. Only ever gone to Rag to collect loot from desert crates(which I didn't need to ascend or bet the bosses for, as I haven't yet). As a side note, those of you who complained about titanaboa eggs being not worthy of last tier tames, I hope you enjoy laying in the bed you made.

https://support.survivetheark.com/hc/en-us/sections/203788097-Survivor-Issues?mobile_site=true They have the commands to change dino owners I believe. As well as making new tribe owners.

Put in a support ticket. They will reimburse your levels to your new survivor (don't forget to style it how you want it).

Dudes, they're working on it. Atleast your servers are up. Prim+ is still down. Looking like it's going to be a while. No rush though.

Thanks for the event Jen and Wildcard. It gave me the opportunity to raise some basil's on P+, which my schedule would otherwise not allow. Very much appreciated.

The beauty of this new system is that it gives them flexibility to add new dino's into the kibble progression "at will" in the future. I don't understand why they can't have specific maps use map specific resource for map specific dino kibble. I share the concern that some dino's are about to become obsolete, however, there is nothing stopping players from taming those dinos to keep the variety in their kibble farms. Overall I think this change is a win, I am hoping end game dino eggs will be utilized to tame more dinos.
