Come play hardcore. What are you scared of??

What is one of the most important factors for an online game? The popularity! Nobody wants to play in an empty online game, right? Well, let's start by saying that even before ASCENDED was announced, EVOLVED was already dead. ARK is a game that has population loss as a natural consequence, because half of the players that lose everything don't want to start from zero or don't have chances because it's hwrd for a new tribe to compete with the old ones. Another reason that made the game dead was the ever-increasing opening of new types of servers like SmallTribes and many others, that divided the population, making the official servers more and more dead. The novelty of the ASA announcement that excited many was the possibility of playing in complete crossplay, because the servers would be SUPER populated. But now, for fear of unbalanced games and PC cheats, Wildcard wants to create servers only for consoles and this way will divide the console community into 4 parts! (also considering SmallTribes Fullycrossplay and SmallTribes console-only crossplay) Console tribes are now confused. They don't know where to go to play. Full crossplay more populated but perhaps unbalanced and with cheats or just console less populated but more "safer"? This split is the worst thing Wildcard could do. With new servers we have a great opportunity to populate the pvp community and we are wasting it. 🔸 MY ADVICE IS THIS: set the console-only servers as if they are like servers of new maps you opened on EVOLVED. That is, with partially limited transfers. - Can transfer characters from full crossplay to console crossplay; - Can transfer characters from console crossplay to full crossplay; - Can transfer items from console crossplay to full crossplay; - CAN'T transfer items from full crossplay to console crossplay. In this way, anyone that decides to build a base on consolle-only crossplay (because they are afraid of unbalanced play and PC cheats) will still be able to have bases on fully crossplay servers too and in the future will be able to transfer everything from the console-only crossplay. To do full crossplay if the cheats are indeed fixed. Console-only servers cannot be attacked by the PC but as also PC players will not be disadvantaged by this situation: why would console-only players attack PC servers if they can't bring back their loot and items? And, PC players would still have significantly better dinosaur stats than console-only players. 🔸 Another idea is to eliminate SmallTribes to encourage players to find/create large tribes in the official. Or connect also SmallTribes servers with official servers (removing the 3x and leaving only the tribe member limit). In this way, whoever attacks those servers will only be able to do so by creating tribes of 6 players. In short, it's important to build a HUGE PvP community.

We need a setting that can be enable for passive creatures to be aggressive and carnivores to be EXTRA aggressive to add more survival to the game. Imagine on the beach everything in aggro range will attack you this would add to the survival. We also need the ability to boost WILD creatures Damage without affecting tame creatures stats when tamed. Also the game can use a HORDE MODE survival mode something like 7 Days To Die. We can set the timer to determine when the wave begins. Sort of like Extinction OSD Drops or Element vein waves but instead the WILD creatures comes to destroy your home-base. You have to fortify and be prepared to defend your base from Alphas including Alpha rexes alpha raptors alpha carnos gigas rexes theris challys and other regular creatures. The max tier in this mode is STONE sort of like primitive+. This means your base can be destroyed during a horde attack. Waves can be 3 days 5 days 7 days or 10 days, we can customize the waves and settings to our liking. This would make PVE essentially PVP but with AI's which would add tremendously value to the game. I can see ALOT of players choosing to play Horde Mode over other modes, especially someone who enjoys PVE and PVP but don't have time to play PVP or don't like the RISK that comes with PVP. In conclusion you would spend your week building fortifying and breeding super dinos to help defend your base during Horde Waves which would be set to 7 Days on official servers and custom on dedicated servers. I think a mode like this would inject NEW life into ark. This mode would be crowded so players who have less time to play and compete in the default pvp mode can get their fix in the Horde mode. I would love to see a Mode like this get added to the playlist. ASA needs NEW modes give players more things to do. PVE gets pretty boring once you are established, adding a horde mode would keep you on more engaged 7 days a week. You would get to enjoy the same PVE experience except every 7 days you have to defend yourself from the WILD. Also add a setting to determine how long before the waves end. Maybe something like 15 mins 20 mins 25 mins 30 mins. After completing a Horde Wave you get rewarded with XP, resources and items to AID in the rebuilding process to prep for the next EVENT. No CRYOPODS in this mode. This will ensure players don't hide their creatures. 300 Max creature limit *Customizable On Dedicated Servers* Essentially Horde mode with certain items removed or balanced. Knowing you will have to survive every week will keep you playing and if you have been grinding for months you wouldn't risk your hard work by missing a week. To conclude you are essentially enjoying PVE with PVP aspects without real players. This is a mode I think would shake up the entire ark universe. I really hope we can get the word out so we can get something like this added to the playlist. I know we have survival of the fittest but that is not the same thing not even close. This is regular PVE with 7 Days To Die horde like aspects. One last thing we need a setting to increase or decrease the range of aggro for creatures for the default PVE gameplay. This would also add more survival to the game because dinos would be able to aggro from longer distance. Imagine being at base doing something and a theri swipes you out of no where. The PVE aspects needs more SURVIVAL added game becomes too easy and is not challenging once you are established. Also add a setting to determine how strong the creatures are in Horde Mode. Maybe a difficulty settings for dedicated servers. Like Normal Hard Insane. This would let the player-host choose how much challenge they would like during gameplay. On official have 2 sets of servers Normal and Hard, Insane difficulty is only for dedicated servers. This would give US the players the option to choose how to play especially players who are very experienced.

The update still dosent appear in the xbox app and windows app neither, can someone confirm it usually takes this long for the update to roll out.

make xbox users able to customize graphic quality as deep as pc users.

i really need help with this! I’ve never really done this before but desperate times call for desperate measures. So, me and a friend have recently been playing on a Dedicated server that i run using my Xbox Series X, while i play on my Xbox one S, a couple months back, around January this year (2023), we were doing the exact same thing with no problems. only difference this time is, when attempting to upload our characters at the obelisk to go on a different map, in this case going from the island to Scorched earth, we don’t have the option to “Upload character” the only option we see is “Travel to another server” and when we click on it it says “Sessions in cluster” which there are none! Does anyone have any clue how to get it back to allowing us to have the upload character thing instead of this server cluster crap and all that?
