Question: How do I get the tripwire alarm trap to work on official servers? The wiki has this note from changelog 243.0 about tripwire alarms: However, no matter what I do, I cannot get this work. I am playing on an official server on the Steam version of Ark and have linked my Steam account on SurviveTheArk.com (this website). I have created a tribe on this website (not related by name or anything to the tribe I am playing in on the official server). I have tried everything that I have read from other posts on the forums, including ranking up from "Early Birds" to "Member" on the forums. Does anyone know if this feature of the tripwire alarm trap is still functional, or was ever functional to begin with on official Steam servers?

Just Please! get admins to official servers, there is so extremely much cheaters there. we just got wiped on lost island official from a cheater tribe... this makes the game unplayable, if we just could get some active admins to ban these cheaters it would be so many more people playing on officials and have a good time. Please now can we get admins.. everyone will benefit from this except the cheaters :)

Reference, I am currently playing on Fjordor 163. But I am pretty sure this is a common issue. You arrive on a newbie beach and try to build a fire because your freezing. "You cannot place that due to too close to enemy foundation or gate." You look around... Every 50 feet for as far as you can see is a pillar with a ladder on it. You run off the beach and see these pillars extend all the way to the side of a cliff. You will need to be killed to respawn elsewhere on the map. This isn't a very fun experience for players in general. Suggestion: Add a foundation block type that is called Land Claim block. This will have the same controls on it as a Dino Leash for ranges and activation/deactivation. The result would be you cannot build within the radius of an enemy land claim block. You could give it requirements like required build stone foundation piece. Also I would suggest a player is allowed to have 1 per 30 levels. This would allow players to build anywhere, but if your don't have a land claim foundation build then either your structure can be damaged by other players or would decay in 24 hours.

After almost 2 years of constant breeding, every larger group now has incredibly mutated dinos that are nowhere close to what the game was originally balanced around. This means that dinos like Rhinos or Therizinosaurs deal much more damage and are much harder to kill than they were 1.5 years ago when the game released. Politically, the game is currently very stale, with alliances constant, no big conflicts and many people leaving the main cluster for others clusters or other games for a fresher and more exciting experience. A wipe would easily reset breeding back to its original state and bring these dinos back down to what they were originally, and bring back many players that have left over the last year. edit: im talking (mostly) about the Official PvP network, non-legacy, main cluster)

Let tribemates see the green light of another tribemate dead body
C0nan posted a suggestion in Game Suggestions
When you die only you can see the green light of your dead body. Sometimes if you crash when get back to the game you are dead and can’t find that green light of your body. Would be awesome if a tribemate could see it too to find it faster (even a different color so they know it ain’t their dead body incase both players died).- 32 replies

Hello, I would consider myself a pretty dedicated player having over 7,000 hours in the game across xbox and steam. Recently there was confusion with the release of genesis 2 and it was discovered that in addition to the normal bonus 15 levels you can get from the ascension, Wild Card added the ability to get an addition bonus 10 levels for finding every explorer note, raising the player level cap to 180. Originally it was thought that just getting all the genesis 2 notes would be how you get these 10 levels but apparently the requirement is to get EVERY EXLPORER NOTE ON EVERY STORY MAP. Anyone that plays official pvp, or even pve knows that this will literally be impossible as some notes are in Alpha base spots such as Ice Cave on the island and some notes are just unobtainable as they are either in the mesh or they just don't activate correctly for a player (genesis 2 I have a few bugged for me; HLNA 5,12,16,22,31,32, and 33 where as my tribemates have 5 and 16...) Me and my tribemates are hitting level 170 on official small tribes and we were quite discouraged finding this information out today. I feel that Wild Card should change the requirement to be like 85-95% of the notes to safe guard against this. It still keeps the general spirit of the requirement of traveling to most of the places on each map, and there still can be a cosmetic item either on the implant or on the player inventory that shows they got all the notes? Getting those last 10 levels from 170-180 requires 600-700 million experience roughly that should be enough of a challenge in combination to finding 850-950 of the notes in the game. If anyone agrees please upvote and pass around as hopefully maybe someone at Wild Card can see this. I don't think we will be seeing anyone get to level 180 on official servers if the requirement stays.

The tribes main base is protected so no complete annihilation where players quit after weeks of building up, but pvp fun is also possible outside the main base so it doesent get boring. -Every tribe Owner gets one item upon creaton of a tribe in his inventory (maybe a totem or a flag) which acts similar to a indestructible tek forcefield that protects one 20 foundation radius area where structures cant be damaged and only his tribe can build structures -only the tribe owner gets one "totem" which only the owner can place and pickup, the totem would be also indestructible but can be placed (and picked up after a 24h cooldown) indefinitely. -on tribe ownership change the totem just changes owner if already placed somewhere or it appears in the new owners inventory if not placed. -if the last player exits a tribe the totem will despawn immediately (no totem spam when a player creates and leaves a tribe over and over) -totem autodecays like metal structures -totem cant be placed where it would block cave entrances or important resource volumes -no visible bubble unlike the tek forcefield, enemys and wild dinos are able to go inside the area, players and dinos can be damaged inside the area but structures take no damage (kinda like offline raid protection but only for structures in a small area and always). -turrets placed inside the protected area dont shoot at enemy players and tames but they can shoot at wildlife -turrets outside the protected area dont power on if the powersource is in the protected area = if you have a tek generator inside the protected area active which would reach outside the protected area turrets outside dont work even though they would be in reach. -in respect to enemy structures proximity, the whole protected area is treated as already built to prevent enemy structure proximity blocking inside this area. -tribelimit 8 (similar to smalltribes = no megatribes) -Rates: 3x XP, Harvesting, Taming, and Breeding (imprint, maturation, hatch/gestation), 0.5x Mating Interval -no weekend evo event rate changes, they just discurage players from playing during the week -breeding mutations removed(no superdinos with 4000 meele damage possible), and wild dino taming would also be always interresting when you could only get a stat increase in your breedline from finding a wild dino with a higher stat -cavebuilding and building in recource volumes is allowed but structures gradually degrade in those areas (like a tent) maybe 1 dmg every 5 sec so a foundation 15000 hp would be gone in ~21 hours

Why is drowning bodies still allowed on pve official servers? if someone is offline, they shouldn't be able to be drowned. it's ridiculous. If i must say, players drown offline players to loot their bodies. No, i didn't log off out of base. server crashed while i was taming a stryder. people logged on before i could. someone drowned my body.

Ongoing Server Instability & Crashes
TheBlueB0mber replied to balistikas's topic in General Discussion
Center56 was taken down without notice 1 week ago. Today it was removed from all server lists. Is Wildcard taking down active servers to repurpose them for a future release? If so could we have some advanced notice so we can transfer off before you delete the servers? Very Disappointed that my main, all his imprint dino & over 2000 hours of base building was unceremoniously wiped from existence. Please remember that how WC handles the end of ARK is going to greatly impact whether or not players buy ARK II. Communication with your player base is the first step. Thanks, TheBlueB0mber -
Top Stats For Dinos Ok so let’s chi chat for a moment. Please do not post complaints or issues you have with the game here. What are the “Top Stats” for each dino in the game currently? I would like to see everyone update this as more come available or as they change every couple weeks or so. I have not found an app or website that provides specific and current “Top Stat” levels for specific Dino’s so I thought it would be fun to come together as a community in a “Positive” manner for once and help each other out with a subject that can be useful. I currently have Tusos with 38k health and 502 mele and haven’t seen any higher than that thus far. Gigas I’m holding a pair with 655 mele. What I’m looking for here is a complete and consistently updated list for ALL dinos “Top Stats”.....so let’s get cracking people. As the owner of one of the hottest trade clubs on Xbox right now ( Traders R Us ) I get asked constantly what the “Top Stats” are and can only guess for some of the time because there is NO WHERE to find exact details on them. Thanks for the help. “Ark The Addiction Is Real”

When new official servers open? All i see is more than 2000+ days old. They are laggy, low fps, and almost every place is builded, and Dinos too strong if you start the server now. Maybe the beginner servers will transform into normal servers after x amount of time?

Accidentally left my tribe when trying to change its name now I can’t access any of my belongings. Server is NA-PVE-PS4OFFICIAL-RAGNAROK299. Can add pictures if needed

So me and my tribemates need to do Gen2 to finish the game, the issue with it is is that we are unable to beat all the missions ( just the race ones left to be exact) due to both server lag as well as our consoles being unable to meet the demand of the game to run smoothly throughout the missions, causing us to lose due to lost time. So I am curious if the Devs changed the requirements to enable the Gen2 boss fight? When I say that I mean can we get someone to start up the fight for us if they have all the missions unlocked or do we have to accept our fate and beat it at the lower difficulty?

Ark official Small Tribes is dying, less and less people are enticed to play. The dino's now are at such an extreme level of mutation they completely take over the game. The are only a small cluster of massive tribes that control small tribes, making it difficult to start up or play at a casual level. On the pvp side of ark, casual players will always be at a disadvantage but a fresh wipe would make it where they still would be able to compete more then they do in the current state of the game. There might be a few people upset or against the idea of a wipe and fresh start of Official Small tribes, but the overall majority of Ark PVPERs, as well as youtubers that support and broadcast your game are desperate with something new. New maps only hold attention for so long, if you want longevity of this game. A wipe would be in your best interest. Or an alternate idea, make the small tribes we have now legacy servers. Then come out with another small tribes cluster not transferable from the server we have now, on the classic or conquest servers. So you aren't buying or using any servers you don't already have. There would be a enormous amount of players returning to play this great game we all love. If this is read, or acknowledged I would love a discussion or even a response from a Ark Dev team member explaining their plans for this game, or why they agree/disagree with this post. Thank you.

Haven't played since Genesis part 1 came out, so I am behind on new games and even stats on dinos these days. Looking to join a tribe on official pvp servers, official gives a good challenge that other modes don't in my opinion. Sadly since I've been gone I can't find my old character, was above 100 with rag, abb and some titan clears, so I'd have to start fresh. Taming is where I shine, ever walk from the desert in rag back to green on through the snow with a conga line of 14 rock golems? I sure have. I used to breed frequently, when extinction came out Ii had hatched the first mutation on a velo in my server, bred that into the whole servers lines. I can grind a fair bit(not to an extreme like filling 20 vaults with metal ingots, yes a previous tribe leader wanted this of me). Pvp isn't my forte, but I can manage to some extent. Might not be the most amazing accomplishments but they're something.

Allow us to light sleeping players on fire. PVE
SarahMonette posted a suggestion in Game Suggestions
We can drown beach bobs that fill up our lawns get their unsightly bodies off our property. They are not coming back to the server they went to play elsewhere or quit ark. I know because I see their ugly corpses every day they never come back. But if I try to move their body to drown it they get stuck where you cannot grab them anymore. You drag them and they detach then they are floating ever so slightly above the world mesh somehow this prohibits me from dragging or picking them up again. Usually as I was taking their body across my very elaborate planned estate with beautiful painstaking placed floral arrangements. Now their dead ugly in my lawn forever. PLEASE LET US BURN BODIES -
Consider leaving transfers into lost island closed permanently and enabling lost island to lost island transfers after the 90 days. As a day one pvp official player I can tell you a fresh start for many is terrific, refreshing, and needed. As soon as transfers are open its back to the same old Same old. As long as those that want the new tames can transfer out then everyone wins. Xbox pvp official lost island. Thanks for your consideration.

Please could we have a shorter decay timer placed on pets that have not been rendered. Beach Bobs keep placing their pets on my base, around my base, in my base, near my base etc. Then they log out and never come back. If someone's account is newly created and they quit the game 2 days in not logging into Ark at all refunding it to Steam etc etc why do I have to endure their pets all over my yard? Could we not please discern those players that are newly made and give their pets a render decay of three days time? If they don't render their animals in three days let them decay. Constructions should not have these extreme decay timers with huge differences between them. It's stupidly high for a mulitplayer game. It should look more like: Decay Timers: Thatch 2 days, Wood 7, Stone 8, Metal 10, Tek 12, Adobe 14, & Tek Cloning, Generator, Dedicated Storage, Tek Trough 16 days. Also people should not be allowed to sit forever rotting a server's potential. Players take over the server and act nasty to newcomers. You know these servers because they are held by three to eight players and anyone who joins leaves post haste. Waste of Wildcard's money to run toxic servers. These land holders may not be in violation of TOS but they aren't welcoming new crowd either. Please consider merging servers that aren't getting any new accounts playing on them. Give the people you move off a server about three months to get out. Send them over to a new clean wiped server that has no lag issues. These maps are so laggy after a bit if people had somewhere to go that was not lagging they would move happily.

Hello fellow survivors… i’m coming to you as an old OG ark veteran. I’ve played official for hundreds if not thousands of hours, i’ve with ran small tribes and non dedicated servers alike. And I can safely bet that it’s about Time for a new game mode. Official servers are plagued by cheaters on PC or The official servers are ruled effortlessly by megas who won’t even tolerate a fair and equitable raid. I say this because as a Consol player we don’t have to worry about cheaters as much as The game just plain out not being able to function. The servers were not built for players to own an entire map. although it’s awesome and creative in its own right, from the logistical standpoint the gameplay is simply not there. I spent hours during raaids sitting idol because players will sit there and render their base nonstop until you go away. Players will cap servers while you sleep so that you won’t even have a chance to defend. I know the team is working hard on ark 2 and we are all very excited to see how that plays out. Personally if you’re scrapping the sandbox concept of ark one I probably won’t play it for as long as I have the original game. therefore I’m proposing a new game mode for the devs to consider in either the far or near future. Xbox versus PlayStation cross play would be a fantastic addition to the official. PC players don’t deserve to be included because that player base is constantly plagued by cheaters and hackers that ruin the integrity of the game. For the amount of time spent it takes to build up there’s no place for them. imagine if both Xbox and PlayStation players were allowed in the same tribe or warring against each other. The tension would be legendary furthermore there should be limits to the amount of players on an official tribe Network. I think 25 to 50 man official tribe game mode at three times rates would be an absolutely banger of a game mode. Add 10 of each map or more to the net work and you’ll have a sandbox game mode that would add a fast paced expansive community game play and at least in my opinion would endure a lot more activity in comparison to the current network of servers. it’s time for a fresh wipe or at the very least a new game mode such as the one listed above. I appreciate your studios hard work of course but the official network is slowly dying and there’s plenty of easy fixes that could bring a refreshing twist to this glorious concept of a game. Sure you’re not gonna make everybody happy but I’m willing to bet all the loyal ark people would still play the game if you were a wipe their official progress. Anyway thanks for considering my proposal I’ll be punching tree somewhere in the meantime waiting for you to get back to me and the community. Love you wildcard boys do something wild for us soon

So me and my friends are doing the king titan fight in a few days, We have pretty much everything for the fight, Meks with rocket pod launchers/shield module, gigas, other throwaway dinos like rexes and spinos, plenty of ammo for our meks, spawn points placed around(skiff and stryders) with kits ready, high level armor with tek suits and we are also planning on taming the titans. (between the 4-5 of us) The problem with the titans, as others may know is that they take a bloody long time to tame all 3 in a row, so obviously we have considered taming a few the night previous to it, but I know from polls and through experience that after logging off for a while, their health reverts to Gamma levels (Titans still had alpha in their name, I'm not confused by anything) like desert going from 350k down to 250k or forest from 700k down to 400k. I am not comfortable with this idea, however I am wondering if whether or not anyone knows how to prevent this from happening, or is doing the fight is still optimal if some of our titans are "gamma" for the fight. Thank you for reading this and please let me know what you think.

Hello Everyone, I wanted to share with the Entire Ark Community, this video which I made: A 2021 Comprehensive DIY Guide to configure Boss difficulty TO Official Servers of your Unofficial/Non-dedicated/Singleplayer sessions. I will be addressing the following below: Official vs SP Settings OFF vs SP settings ON vs SP default difficulty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions to be answered :: 1. How are bosses different between Singleplayer(SP) & Official Servers ? 2. How can we make SP bosses equal to Official servers difficulty wise ? Patches that affect SP vs Official Boss Difficulty: --------------------------------------------------- 254.3: Singleplayer/non-dedicated bosses are reduced in damage and effective-HP by 67% 261.0: Rebalanced all boss HP and damage to scale from 1x (Gamma) to 3x (Alpha) in singleplayer. This does not include The Center double boss arena, which has 35% less HP and damage than it's individual Island counterparts. 264.0: Yutyrannus now has an automatic-courage mode in singleplayer. When set, the Yuty will give a courage roar every 30 seconds if an ally dino is in front of it. 264.2: Fixed boss scaling for multiplayer sessions (approximately 67% easier) Experimental Setup ----------------- Boss: Gamma Center Boss (Broodmother & Megapithecus) Army: - 10x Theris → Lv 383, 22,000 Health, 1120% melee, 110-124 saddle - 1x Yuty → Lv 340, 70,000 health, 2400 stamina, 124 saddle Test Approach ------------- 1. Full Official: game.ini changes + SP settings = OFF + Max Difficulty = true + Difficulty Level = 1.0 + Difficulty Override = 5x DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_TheCenter_C",Multiplier=3.0) DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="SpiderL_Character_BP_TheCenter_C",Multiplier=3.0) DinoClassResistanceMultipliers=(ClassName="Gorilla_Character_BP_TheCenter_C",Multiplier=3.0) DinoClassDamageMultipliers=(ClassName="Gorilla_Character_BP_TheCenter_C",Multiplier=3.0) 2. SP Settings OFF: SP settings = OFF + Max Difficulty = true + Difficulty Level = 1.0 + Difficulty Override = 5x 3. SP Settings ON: SP settings = ON + Max Difficulty = true + Difficulty Level = 1.0 + Difficulty Override = 5x 4. Default Singleplayer SP settings = ON + Max Difficulty = false + Difficulty Level = 0.2 + Difficulty Override = 5x (for center it's always 5x)
