Unlimited Storage Time In Obelisk So I play Official PvP, SmallTribes. Naturally it's a wasteland besides Alpha bases, which even those seem to get wiped if you aren't in the political circle. This I have no problem with, I actually enjoy it. However I'm a career age adult and have responsibilities outside the game and cannot dedicate my every waking minute to the game which, you pretty much have to do if you want to play Ark. The slot cap in the Obelisk is 50. Which I find to be MORE than sufficient and I'm happy with it. I could keep my gear, my items, prefab projects I'm working on, and most important tames... Etc etc. The issue is the 24 hour timer. Literally 23:59:59 from the time you put it in, your stuff is deleted. And also since Official doesn't have server logging, even if you lose the stuff while playing to glitches, Wildcard can't/won't replace what you actually lost (but that's for another post). My point is, it's literally impossible to have anything meaningful in this game where you have to work so much to achieve things. Anything that isn't on your character in a transfer, or in the Obelisk when you log off is probably NOT going to be there the next day when you log on. It doesn't matter how good your base defenses are, it doesn't matter how many bullets you've farmed, it doesn't matter that you've tripled foundations and walls, because raiders can find a way into ANY base with a little patience. If they can't get in through conventional means, or if that will take too long, they'll mesh their way in and you'll still lose everything not in the Obelisk. The problem is, we need to be able to keep things in the Obelisk permanently without them being deleted. The danger of losing stuff is still there because you have to go retrieve it from a drop, a Transmitter, or the Obelisk itself and those are frequently camped. So just allowing players the ability to keep a stash isn't really a big ask. Because currently you have to dedicate your entire life to this game and it becomes a job, not a game. Sometimes I'd just like a few days with my family instead of having to plan everything around Ark. You would attract more players this way, and career age people like myself would even pay a premium charge for this service so Wildcard could be compensated for the extra work and server load on their end. Since the Obelisk upload is account bound you are only looking at a max of 50 items per account, not character. But even if you're an Alpha tribe you can still be raided and lose everything not in the Obelisk. No other game I know of just deletes the stuff you have safe stored when not logged on for over 24 hours. TLDR: Indefinite storage in the Obelisk is necessary to get more players into the game, and active. 50 Slot cap stays the same. Just need a way to where you don't have to dedicate your every waking thought to the game to still play it.

¿is allowed to build a public teleport in the obelisk? I have always played in legacy and in almost all servers there are public teleports in obelisks that help players but now I started playing official and there are no teleports there. ¿is prohibited? ¿can i build one there? it will be public and will not block any path sorry for my english and thank you for read this post and I hope you can help me with this question

The obelisks are Bullshit: a thread Picture this. You’re on Ragnarok, where drops are quickly stolen and the Blue Obelisk is heavily guarded against transfers. You try and transfer via Obelisk. Killed. Wait a solid minute to spawn. That whole minute the people who murdered you are yelling racial slurs in your ears. Nothing can be done. Try again for a nee Obelisk. Exact same thing, different people. Try for the third. Die on spawning because spawned in a tribal cage placed exactly on the points.

Ark transferring Sup folks, Im playing ark from beginning but I still have a question where im not sure about. If I transfer to another server but I want my character in upload so when I want to play again I can spawn in whatever server I want, and I still have some loot in my inventory that I want to keep, is the timer also 24-hours like if you put it in the "Ark data" map or does the items stay in my inventory till I decide to play again? Thanks already!

Despite having the "No Dino Download" setting unchecked, transfers are not working at obelisks/drops/tek transmitters. Basically, everything works fine during the upload; dinos get uploaded, and any items I upload as well get uploaded. When it comes to downloading, however, I can get all the items i uploaded as well as my character. In fact, the option to download the dino from the other map is there. However, upon downloading, the name of the dino on the transfer menu disappears (implying the transfer happened), but there's no dino in sight.

IMPOSSIBLE TO TELEPORT Hi. I cant teleport to other servers using Tek Teleport neither obelisk… i dont know why it happens. Just in the moment that i select the server and press "join with character" nothing happens. It happens since 5 hrs .. Does anybody have same problem and how to solve it? I tried dying, restarting Xbox, cache, different servers...but cant leave

NA PvP NoTek Crossark6 servers are throwing the following error whenever attempting to transfer a character from one NA server to another: Failed. Was unable to upload character for transfer, please try again later. We are a tribe of 3 players. At the moment when the bug occurs first (11 May, 2019) we were at different servers. One player was at NA Ragnarok, the second player was at NA Island and the third player was at EU Ragnarok. After a couple of tests we realized that: Transfers from EU server to another EU server works fine. Transfers from NA server to NA server throw error. Transfers from NA server to EU server throw error. Transfers from EU server to NA server throw error. The error text says that we should try again later, but we are waiting for more than 4 days already. I guess that this is a server bug and a fix is necessary because players are unable to transfer between NA servers at crossark6 cluster. P.S. I would attach screenshots but the server is throwing `-200` error without any explanations when I'm trying to upload a picture.

So, I'm playing on single player and beginning to get ready to transfer to my second base, MY first base is in the water canyon in the heart of the map as it was the best starting area to get prepared to move on, But now i wanna head to a resource rich area and the two i have found are the red obelisk and the green obelisk. Which is better? From what i have seen the green is the better choice as it has more rich metal, standard metal, and all of the oil veins. but the red is more isolated, has crystal and other such , and from what i have heard is a better location ( apprehensive because last time i was there i got my face bit off by a level 202 fire wyvern and i haven been keen on going back.

So here I am again 1 year later and I still question myself asking why I even bother. I tried to ascend on abberation today after trying it a year ago and loosing my character but reuploaded it via backup, and same thing happened again after beating rockwell on alpha and it's been one year Wildcard one fing year what have you people been doing a whole year! I expected this to be fixed by now along with other people and that stupid access a terminal or obliesk or whatever bs don't work ethier. I went onto the surface of aberration and accessed the inventory of the oblesik and preceded to fight rockwell somehow expecting a diffrent result and I'm not the only person who is experiencing and has experienced this. This should of been fixed long before now and here we are a few months before extinction. Well i get aberration is on a broken ark and all but that don't mean the map itself needs to be completly broke. I also tried your work around too because you guys can't fix it or don't want to and that doesnt work ethier! So please forum moderators don't delete this thread as it is very important and this needs to be looked at ASAP also I think it's a singleplayer and local/host issue, because I seem to only have the problem on there along with other people. Also can i please have a estimate for when this bull is gonna be fixed I'm so bored over here just wanting to get my specimen implant red and them extra levels. I also tried spawning rockwell in on alpha and that doesn't even work so i can't get to level 130 and my level stopped at 117 and implant still says Gamma rockwell for some reason dispite fighting rockwell on alpha like a thousand times.... When a major obstacle such as a game breaking bug blocks the path in which the game wants you to take it becomes hard to play that game anymore. So I'm stuck in my place and unable to progress futher because the ascension in aberration is complete FUBAR! I just had to cheat to get corruption helmet skin because i knew I couldnt do it legit without losing all my progress I had gotten that day. Speaking of which that really made me mad too the fact that you guys add 3 new notes in 2 areas that you all knew were extremely buggy and if done legit would require ascending and then cause ppl to loose thier characters so why did you do this before fixing the issue first, it makes no sense once so ever... Also it's on PlayStation 4. @Jatheish I tried opening a supply crate and a oblisk and after I beat rockwell and ascended I still lost my character any eta for when this game breaking bug is going to be fixed already. Edited Monday at 05:12 PM by travis9990 Forgot to mention it's on console (PlayStation 4)

Hello, recently I experienced, my Wyvern flew while sleeping. That might just was a dream. But it felt so real, that I decided to share it with you guys. You can reproduce this by getting your Wyvern to sleep and upload it to the ARK (e.g. S+ Tek Transmitter) and then download it. It will automatically follow you then. Have a great day guys!

CRASHING!!!! Obelisks and supply drops After update on my dedi. Anytime me or anyone clicks on any colour drop at any location as well as all of the obelisks. So now we cant do boss battles. Tek gear is even more impossible to obtain without commands and no one is able to go drop hunting... come on WC. We need updates that don't crash an entire server... Been part of the ark realm since day one on xbox and got a second xbox about 45 days later and been hosting many servers with it. This is one of the worst updates for crashing i have had to deal with. Pleeeeaase heeeelp!!!

So all my rexes and yuty are at the green obelisk, I want to feed them some times but they are with a lot. So I take a feeding trough and a quetzal and fill it up. But then the dinos off my allies start eating of my food to. So is there a way to stop allies dinos from eating out of my feeding trough? I play on pc on pve the island.

Just setup a new unofficial cluster for me and a few friends (we've been playing unofficial on a single map for a while now) and now when we load items/dinos to the terminal, they have a decay timer of 24hrs. Is there any way to disable this (or extend it to something ridiculous, like a year)? Server is hosted through Nitrado.

Hi everyone, I just bought a new Xbox to run a dedicated server. However me and my friend have been playing for a while on a non dedicated server and we were hoping to transfers some of our rarer items and higher level Dino’s. I read online that transfers of items and Dino’s are possible from a non dedicated to private dedicated session. Is this true? Every time I try, I can upload on the non dedicated but when I try to download on the dedicated nothing shows up in the obelisk menu. Any info would be very much appreciated, thanks.

I like Aberration and still enjoy it, because we have at least a maps that doesn't allow flyers (expect the desert titan, but it is intended to be a PVP meta) which i think these creatures are overused in pvp. I like the concept to build a base in a upward rock cliff to increase your chance to succed tour raid defense, BUT has we all know, there always something to fix or something missing in the third DLC, Here's what i've in mind to improve this content: 1) Gets 2 variants of Reaper: One is the king, which is the most agile variants: It could have a better aim acid spit accuracy and have its own fast (has a spino) swimming ability and animations underwater. Maybe a claw attack. An engineering( by tek) Reaper Queen could be the competitor to the giga: It can't have a saddle, but have radical ability that may overcome an undefensable raid. It has a roar that could Buff resistance immunation to the king counterpart against light radiation effect from Plant Z flash grenade,charge lantern light puppets (bulldogs, featherlight, glowtails and shinehorns) for for 30s. It could also dig underground by sneaking like the basilik, have a grab attack to smash mid-size dinos. But your oxygen is decreasing 3x than mouting a basilik to prevent unbalanced pvp. It could also spit acid that istead slowing down creatures, it could damage metal structure and flak armor has the anthropleura. It is 3x tankier than the king, so it could manage to soaking many heavy turrets bullets at once. For getting this variants, instead to put a percentage of chance to get a Queen variants, you have to cook a special gland : First, you need to find the alpha reaper king that give you alpha reaper king barb and the glands of the wild queen to be able have the right gland to consume before the baby reaper burst out of your chest. To imprint it, you have to sacrifice another baby aberrant dinos similar to the troodon taming method. 2) Give TLC Rock drake's turning radius while climbing to cliff/walls and maybe fast claw attack. It soo cringy and annoying to control it by a mouse that doesn't have a accuracy direction. W,A,S and D would be a better way to manage rock drake turning radius while been upside down climbing cliff and platform. 3) Karkinos TLC: up claw use. These should be able to protect mounted players from frontward. 4) Basilik TLC: able to be immune radiation effects from the red zone and Rock drake trench. Wilds are immune, but tamed one are not which it's illogical. Also Maybe add a whip attack in a purpose to the tide of it's tail and change the poison spit animation attack. Feels cheap by recycling the spit poison wyverns in a exclusif dino. 5) Seeker TLC: Make them tameable and allow them to spit a flashy substance to a enemy player by a whislte command. 6)Charge pillars should have the role like the crafting pillars in exctinction. It pissed soo many players off, because the motionless transfers pillars are only in the scorched surface and Radiation zone. we always depend on transmitter,loot crates and beacons... 7) Make the Rockwell boss rewarding. Unlocking only tek engrams and acsendant level is not enough to play back. It should have valuable loot and big amount of elements in the Alpha version. I know it seems soo demanding for a wishlist, but i think Aberration deserves some improvements like Scorched Earth does. We should not play Aberration to just benefited its feature and go back to the maps with many biomes after 2 months of grinding and Farming. We should play it to enjoy longer the content. I still try to play it often has possible, but many people are still first focusing on Ragnarok and the island has a main habitats for their bases.

I've discovered the "KillAOE structures" command will destroy the functionality of obelisks. The terminal graphic will remain but will no longer offer any options whatsoever, not even a name tag. I've come to this conclusion after using the command to clear structures off the Island green obelisk and Scorched Earth red obelisk on my cluster. To anyone who will say I shouldn't allow building on my obelisks, people tend to build around its perimeter, sometimes blocking access.

I run an unofficial PC server through Nitrado. Since the update today, nobody on my server can access Obelisk terminals on The Island. I searched for this issue and see common Obelisk issues that have been reported, but none of them seem to match my issue. I tried clearing out single player data and that did not work. I know they did not get "killed" since the terminals were accessible yesterday and I am the only admin. I checked my Scorched Earth server with identical settings (aside from the map) on our cluster and the terminals were accessible. Beacons seem to be fine too. Anyone know of any other possible solutions?
