2 weeks with no evo....like how hard is it to do evos on the weekends? Seems like you're just trying to kill the game at this point. What you should do is just have it set to 2x everything permanently, instead of dragging out the release of Atlas 2 Ark 2. Don't be surprised when it flops and everyone has already abandoned the one good game/playable broken game you released 🙄

Edit: I see there is now an evo event...touche

You do realise it’s been set to 2x permanently like 3 times in the past right…? The current rates are ludicrously high compared to what they used to be on official 

Literally no news, might as well have just not posted

Idk if this is a problem on pc but on console can please for the love of Scorpion Jesus get a patch for the profanity filter, I don’t care about swear words and slurs being blocked but here’s a list of all the things I’m not allowed to type in the game that I’ve found:

• For
• Lol
• Could
• Blood
• Die
• Raw
• Ammo
• Weapon
• Boss
• Bob
• Spare
• 10
• 14
• 33
• 35h
• 38
• 49m
• 68

The fly thing won? Darn that's disappointing. I wish something interesting would've won like the Gorgonopsid, the Bison or the Cheetah. Hopefully they make it realistically small and not rideable. Maybe the next vote 🙄.

“Interesting” like animals that aren’t even extinct or a thyla/wolf mashup? Insects are way more thematically interesting and we’re significantly lacking in useful arthropods as is

a complete disappointment the voting, that style of voting is complete garbage, the favorites lost by hate votes, the worst of all is that Wildcard let people vote who don't even play ARK.

Still, at least panther's crap didn't win.

Sorry but how is it a bad voting system? It lets you organise them by preference so you don’t have to just pick one to vote for. If something lost  that’s because either not enough people wanted it or many people who did, wanted something else more. Don’t get salty just because the thing you wanted didn’t make it

So the chat filter in the game has been progressively getting more out of hand.

I get why some people want more stringent ai to catch ways that people get around it, but that leads into another problem.

as it stands right now, not only does it now censor ‘clean’ words, but also numbers too. Here’s a list of all the words I’ve found that I’m of the opinion no one should ever have a need to have censored, at least on ark.

“For” “lol” “could” “blood” “die” “raw” “weapon” “ammo” “10” “14” “68”

just… why?

Am I the only one that noticed that the implants are all on the wrong arm for the black history month pic?

my vote was with the giant snail, so pass on these for me

The snail would’ve been amazing, I wanted either that or the giant octopus to make it

May the best creature win ! Or best-ish.
(I'm hoping for no giant insects XD )

Imo ark is lacking in useful arthropods. We’ve got scores of useful mammals, reptiles, birds and fish, but the only arthropods of any notability that come to mind are the arthro, mantis, and karkinos, so it would be nice to get some more with utility beyond being trophy tames

No they ended early. Check the rate logs on Dododex. You see exactly when they started and when they ended. The difference is 45 minutes. That's not an DSL error. They were still gaining donations and the rates where still climbing when they turn the rates back to 3x.

lmao you're trusting dododex for your info? the website that (wildly incorrectly) models the time taken to tame a 150 stryder as 4 minutes when everyone who's tamed them knows it can be well upwards of an hour and also incorrectly states the best taming effectiveness as 91.1% when every stryder can reach a perfect 100. Enough ranting about dododex tho, you're here about extra life. I was there at the very end of it and yeah, it didn't end exactly on the hour, the rates definitely kept going AFTER it was supposed to end meaning you actually got an extra 15-20 minutes of 12x. be grateful you get anything at all every November

You ever heared of people not having the time or taking a break, right? Or going on a vacation for a week or two?

you've clearly missed the point. Tek structures, which are the longest lasting base building structure have a demolish timer of 20 days. Tek dedicated storages however last 80 days. if they didn't reset in 20 for their tek base then they probably aren't coming back for their dedis. they should probably be reduced down to 20 or 30 days at the most imo

Hey wildcard,

are you ever going to consider removing the tether for non dedicated on PS4. I know that I along with quite a lot of other PS4 players would appreciate if you would even give a reason for not removing it.

thanks, Dodoking 

the reason they don't remove tether is because it's just a limit of consoles. they tried it once and whenever one player got too far from the host the terrain and dinos would start glitching out and playing the game normally became impossible, if it really bothers you host a dedicated server, or play on an official/nitrado server, PvE ones exist if you dont want to be raided

Hope this helps, Spider

maybe the worst update for dedis . il just farmed 90Kof metal and after ussing the demo gun on it , it left nothing , not even a bag.......

 

First off, if you farmed metal why are you using creative mode and why are you destroying dedis if you want access to the materials inside? it's a simple fix on your part to just take the metal out and move it elsewhere before destroying it

Yes, you’ll be able to transfer characters, just not anything else for a few months

It's been almost a year since the Q&A had someone ask for seperate tame and wild dino hunger configs (last August). I was over-exited when I saw an official replay saying something like "Make it so!" But still I havent seen it come out

I been asking for that config separation for years. I hope this hasn't been forgotten. This suggestion has been on the top 2 of my wishlist for Ark Configs!

It's a major game changer for me! I'm a relaxed builder and dino hoarder. My super singleplayer made to be as survival-less as possible (I'm interested in Ark for building, taming, breeding, collecting, hoarding, and most of all: eye candy). Starvation was the primary killer for my pretty pretty tames. Turning hunger drain to 0.0 to prevent starvation unfortunately makes wild dinos impossible to tame, so I have to force tame (and I rather not do this, especially on a private server, had to give my residents admin password so they could tame stuff).

What else can I do to prompt you guys to adding it?! You said you would!

Pretty please? *insert image of Jerboa with huge SUPER CUTE eyes!*

There are two in game solutions I can think of;

1: when trying to tame a dino, just knock it out, then use cheat dotame. This allows you to go through the work of knocking out a dino (the only fun part of taming anyway) and dotame tames it but you still need a saddle to ride.

2. The other solution is to put troughs down and fill those up to keep everything topped up. You can also use trek troughs and edit spoil timers to prevent all the food from decomposing. All it takes to fill them up is a small amount of time and a few admin commands

hope this helps?
