Aberration EU 223 2 - 10 players at map.  Crash, timeout every 5 minutes. Server reported
Any other servers - the same situation.

Is this a product? Imagine you have bought a car and its engine turns off every 5 minutes.

I think you just have done with putting your efforts into Ark 1, you have packed all official servers into 3-5 times lower number of virtual machines. Just to fill your deal with customers that have bought Ark1 and you have cut your costs to almost zero..
 

With that policy its hard to believe you will do great and reliable product with Ark 2.

Wow, a week to March 2021 and still no GENESIS 2 info.
I bet next crunch will be SORRY, WE HAVE TO postpone release of Gen2 to September.

PvP was fun until:

- Managarmrs
- meshing
- aimbot

spoiled it.

 Titanoboas aren't necessary in the game anymore

But basilisks and roll rats are necessary and they are passive tame not affected with taming boost. Its still old x1 for them.

Also I don't know what to think as Vin Diesel as "cast" for him, not really happy with that choice. There would have bewn way better options in my humble opinion.

Have you seen Pitch Black movie? Its like Aberration surface with seekers and Vin Diesel as Ridsausage was perfect in this world. Maybe you will change your mind. It was just a trailer.

EDIT: Whats wrong with this forums?.. R I D D I C K name was translated to Ridsausage?

I just hope Ark 2 doesn't have EVO events, because the constant demand for higher rates every single week without fail is just bad.

It may be worth considering what the reason is. Hardly anyone has that much time for gaming and Ark is one of the most time-consuming games in the world. The real world considers us arkholics, time wasters, while we just raise our gigas. I think permanent multipliers would have to go to actual x3-x4 (including breeding) so that the vast majority of people would stop complaining and demanding EVO. Otherwise its too grindy game for most people and many people leave ark not because of they dont like it. Time consuming plays a big role in moving away from Ark.

To be honest... Genesis 2 hyped me for Ark but the new Ark 2 trailer did put me off so much I am in no mood to even to log in and feed my dinos on my server...

Yes, announcing Ark 2 before release of Genesis 2 is unfortunate.

As New Santiago said .. Light's out, old friend.
But wait! we havent played new DLC yet and the lights for Ark 1 have already been turned off in the trailer.

This can create a feeling that the sense of taking the time to develop bases and dinos in "the old Ark" is questioned.

I love the mood of Winter Wonderland.
But the present drop would be more grinch-free if they will appear in random locations.

Have... have y'all not read the Explorer Notes? Mei Yin and Diana end up falling in love and kissing in the Extinction Notes. Like Seriously guys come on, oh and also the actor playing Helena's wife is Elliot Page who recently came out as Trans, but I guess y'all would know him by his old name Ellen Page. Guess that's gonna ruin it for ya as well huh? I for one am absolutely exited for this show and the rest of the story.

I wasnt care of lesbian love of Mei Yin and Diana. The only thing that surprised me was the story addition of wife to Helena Walker .. for the sake of today's stupid social justice trend.

...

So its happening, did you know ealier that Helena Walker had a wife?
Now you know.

W8. Helena Walker has a... wife?
Then im sure it will be released at Netflix.

Real tears appeared in my eyes when I read this story about the monument.
Thank you for this!

Yes yes I know passive taming is bugged, no matter what colours you make your text it makes no difference and is not relevant to the point I was actually making.

DILO? Why are you so salty? Just turn off coloring. First you gave people an option. The you are pointing out, when someone use it. Its ridiculus.
Many postst ago i have pointed this bug without any formatting. So if passive taming still is bugged, why i cant just shout with colors!

 XP/Harvesting/Taming were the ONLY things doubled.

Taming double is bugged.
Thats taming using unique Non-Violent method.
For example Basilisk and Roll rat - dinos that eat food you drop them are tamed in a old not doubled X1.
150lvl Basilisk eats 9 rock drake eggs, not 5. 150lvl Rollrat 34 honeys not 17.
Im 100% sure, since im mostly Aberration player that tamed many basilisks and rats since release of Aberration DLC.

I bet it can affect other non-voilents like Gacha, Troodon, Bloodstalker, Hyaenodon, Equus,titanoboa and others too, but havent checked them.

Cutting down rates and no evo weekend will not make the game popular.
Its like taking us from heaven to rough ground.

Fear Evolved without fun?! Yes, because there is hard to find pumpkins, scarecrows and graves. Good to have colors, good to have ghosts skins, good to have boosted multipliers...
BUT WE CANT COOK ANY EVO STUFF

@Jatheish@Cedric - please make

- ROCK DRAKE BREEDING
- ANKYLO AUTO SWING AT KARKINOS
- ANKYLO RADIATION IMMUNE

Wyvern breeding???? POGGERS!!!

and notice Mantis.. they will be finally able to breed more weight and damage!

Awesome Crunch. Think one of the best news this year!
Love transfer rework too!

I know its OFF the topic, @Cedric but please leave message to crew to fix Aberration!
- day/time and surface behavior mess
- boss Rockwell's tentacles electroshocking blue (starter) plate
- Rockwell orbs disappeared. Noticed yesterday (i know its nice to get them off but its definitely a bug).

and please add more creatures to Aberration

Thanks!

Fear 4 sounds awesome!

There are more of it.
Server EU Aberration 223 is "ON" and on the list - ingame days are counting, but no players can join since last "patch".

I was thinking more of protection from the bubbles in Rockwell....

The bubbles hit dino + player + lightpet. Maybe damage reduction will add some protection, but i would be count on it.

If you're getting hit with electroshock then you should revisit your strategy.

I have hosted about 20 successful Alpha Rockwell bossruns so far and we (SandsInPants tribe) do AR fight once wa week. I was never electroshocked. I was thinking that dismount dino protection will give you a new possibility to fight with stego - dont care of electro.

28 minutes ago, Bondue said:

However there isn't a way that I am aware, beside hiding under the bridges, to avoid the electric shock for MC. Good call out. 

Its not just hiding under bridge. If stego will prevent you from dismount, no eye laser will drop you off, no reaper will drop you off, and you will be able to use pumpgun without dismount.

I think this TLC will just make the stego the center piece to Rockwell.

Maybe you re right.
It would depend on how dismounting prevent will work with tentacle electroshocking. Enemy dismount prevention maybe just work against purlovia, raptor or thyla.
If it will prevent from tentacles electro drop, it will be OP for Rockwell.. but notice - Master Controller too. 

AAND i hope it will affect TEK STEGO too
