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). -
Should I get back in? I’ve been looking to get back into the game. I’m hoping to not have an as time consuming experience as I have had in the past but I’ve had a lot of fun. I have over 2000 hours of experience. What’s the best way I should come back? I would mostly be solo. Should I do officials? Small tribes? A Cluster? Any other suggestions? And what map? I haven’t played on valguero yet.

Many Improvements needed for ark small tribes The current state of the game is very hard to play and makes it not as enjoyable as it could be. I see a lot of potential in the game and it can have a lot more players than it currently has just with a few simple but game changing adjustments. These 3 suggestions would change the game and make it a lot more playable and would encourage people that don't have as much time to play the game as well. I really hope you decide to make these changes. Thanks, Your fellow survivor - Syx Increase turret cap to 150 or 200 The current turret cap is very hard to work with and spots that would be very nice to build in are basically impossible to defend because of the current 100 turret cap, increasing it by 100 or even 50 more would make a massive difference and would enable tribes to build in places that would be initially near impossible to defend with the 100 turret cap. It would make raiding and defending way more fun and would enable way bigger battles and raids which would mean it would be a little more challenging for both the raider and the defender. Decrease transfer timer One of the many time consuming tasks on small tribes is transferring servers, many people have outposts on different server for farming resources that would normally be hard in their main base spot/main map meaning they have to transfer a lot and having the timer as 15 minutes makes it so much longer that it should be. Decreasing the timer to 5 minutes or even 10 minutes would make such a difference and would make the game way more enjoyable to play meaning the player base will grow due to the fact that not many people have the time for such a time consuming game which can be fixes with the current suggestions. Enable no collisions for structures Enabling no collisions for structure would enable tribes to build way better looking bases and let them utilize all the space efficiently, I understand it wouldn't be as realistic but it would majorly improve how people build and where people build too meaning that more spaces will be way easier to build in which would encourage people to build in the spots that are currently too hard to build in. This is also a problem since many spaces are already taken by big tribes and many big tribes raid lots of starters and enabling no collisions on structures would also allow starters to hide way better meaning they can survive for longer which would also make it more enjoyable to play the game.

In Desperate Need of Help! Ridiculous Bugs Stop Me From PLAYING THE GAME I PAID! Now, I've had this game since 2017 - but I've never played official. I always messed about on Single Player, and today, I found out why I should never have touched official ARK servers. After recently making a few friends on ARK, I've found the game more enjoyable, and I joined an official server (TheIsland47), and met somebody who was helping me grind the initial levels. After grinding through caves, we transferred over to Ragnarok (Ragnarok880) to steal some Wyvern eggs and get some milk for growing. Once I had collected about 5 eggs, and he 3, we made our way back, (I was also carrying a Cryopodded Ice Wyvern for my friend, which belonged to him and was on my hot-bar). I spawned in my bed, to find myself LOCKED in my room. To preface, I made myself a small cubby for my bed, fenced off by a door, which then opening it revealed the rest of my WOODEN house (the fact that it's wood is important here). I had my things on me, but no food or water and have been locked inside since; for probably around 3 hours now. I have all the eggs I collected on me, along with my friend's Wyvern, and multiple tames unprotected outside my WOODEN house. I couldn't use my fast-travel to locate to somewhere else, but even if I did - I would lose everything I gained that day because I would not be able to enter my OWN house. My name is Angelita, and the tribe I'm a part of, (which consists of only me because I've been on the server for two days) is called Little Angels. The writing on MY locked door is that of when you approach another server-mate's home who is offline - the familiar yellow text explaining how long you have until your structure had decayed from being offline, and whom it belongs to (in this case it was: Little Angels - MY TRIBE), along with the blue text beneath it that reads: "OFFLINE RAID DAMAGE PROTECTED". (Or something of the like - you'd think I'd know it by now). Speaking to multiple people in my server, I got a mixed response. One or two told me it wasn't unusual for things like that to happen, and it would work again after 20 hours of waiting (but why should such a loyal and dedicated fan-base/player-base have to even consider that as a normality in their games?). Some told me they've been having similar issues with being disconnected 15 times in only a few hours, or kicked out mid-flight, leaving their hard-earned tames in the sky and their bodies on the ground for somebody to drag into the water and steal their valuables, some said they didn't even believe the building belonged to me because it sounded so ridiculous, and some said that in order for this to be fixed you'd have to SUBMIT A TICKET and wait SEVEN DAYS for a response. S E V E N D A Y S!!!! A WEEK! Now, the important thing about having a wooden structure is that it decays after SEVEN DAYS of offline activity. I was low-level when I made this base, and was going to update it once I had done the cave-runs with my friend. If I have to wait seven days for a response, then everything I worked for, for two days consistently, will be destroyed! Because the game thinks I'm offline, but I'm right there STARING AT IT! I was also informed that some of the ARK team are extremely rude, and notable un-bothered if you are affected in game by something that could easily be fixed, if they actually cared about their PAYING player-base (namely joebl0w). I can only imagine what somebody who had been playing for three years would feel in my position. I dread to think. If this issue isn't solved before the seven days are up, I will be most disappointed and angry; and not just me, but everybody else that are having issues in their games and on their servers (which are notably 9999 ping as the norm) - as I'm sure this one forum post probably stands for more than just my own experiences. What do we learn from this? Play single-player...or better yet, don't buy a game that doesn't allow you to use it's primary feature - ONLINE GAMEPLAY.

Bonus during off times instead of high pop times.
Jemcrystal posted a suggestion in Game Suggestions
Bonus during off times instead of high pop times. Please bring back taming bonus. Execute all bonus'es at off hours during the mid week. Like pizza restaurant's do with their come in and get reduced price and in the fine print it is during a time no one ever visits. This is lag prevention. No more enticing to many players to join all at the same time. If you redirect the players to join in the least populated time many will change their schedules so the high pop times will just be a normal pop as half the player base is now sleeping irl. And we can get our taming bonus back on official pve which we miss very much. -
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)

NA-PVE-68 Ragnarok Complete Crash We need more official Ragnarok maps in pve multiplayer. All the ones available are bursting full and dysfunctional because of this. It is not a land grab and/or pillar problem. It is not an event problem. It is not adding more s+ update problem. It is an ongoing problem where Rag is just simply the very most coveted map in ark. You need more Rag maps.

Reduce Official taming times I think ark should reduce the time it takes when taming a dino

Dinos dying for no reason on official pve I logged on to my Pve server today to find that two of my dinos had died while I was offline for no reason. The tribe log simply says “was killed”. They can’t have starved as I fed them only a day before, and they were on neutral, and very high levels that I bought from other players so they weren’t killed during the offline protection counter. Plus it would say what killed them? Both a Trex and a Theriz over level 250. I also woke up dead, even though I had logged out inside my base. I have no idea what was happened but I want to make sure nothing else dies!?!

fix: DISABLE GLOBAL ULTRA LOW LATENCY MODE in NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL, restart PC enable ultra low latency mode for ark only if you wish when you start the game from steam there a few options. uninstalling battleye works. if you attempt to start the game with battleye it will prompt you to install battleye. however, nothing will happen after you click install. if you start the game with battleye you will go through the same issue again and again until you go to battleye's folder and install it manually. battleye now adds a service to windows services but it DOES NOTHING. after installing battleye this way if you attempt to start ark with battleye it will fail with the error "failure to get privacy text". you have to edit BELauncher.ini in the battleye folder to set privacy text from 2 (its binary. there is no 2 in binary) to 0. there is a privacy text actually, complete with wc's edits on it. but setting it to 1 (turn it on) does nothing as well I tried. this has nothing to do with the battleye problem, just something you should know and something wc needs to fix. finally...onto the real battleye issue. currently some 3rd party stuff sitting in your computer is making battleye close legitimate software on your desktop, including explorer.exe and OBS. some other stuff that battleye is closing as it boots ark: basically...pissing on everybody battleye has clarified in their FAQ they didn't tweak anything this same issue is happening across various games that uses battleye, though we are not sure if other games running battleye will encounter the same issue on 1 game but not the other we can band together and share what common software have we installed on our computer that might have turn battleye rogue.

Xbox player switch to pc look to help genesis tribe Hey guy again player with about 7k hours looking to help a solid tribe out for genesis and hopefully grow with, ive played with a few smaller tribe on pc and they were all clueless bots it really blows my mind how some people just don’t get ark anyway I have a decently level character, I don’t have any beef with any major tribe, willing to fight any side I’m put on, I’m looking for a group that has there stuff together like a plan for everyday, rather then just log on and go brain dead looking for something to do, when I log on I know bullets are important to fill our turrets so we can continue to expand defenses, and so forth, I’m capable of grinding, raising tames, taming stats all the good stuff just need a good group of people, sorry for rambling in the last part it’s tilting coming from Xbox to pc and being grouped with people who should understand the game by now, if I sound like a player you would like HMU on discord rain#4970

A tribemate of ours is unable to transfer his character from our official island server to another official server. He is basically stuck on the island server. He cannot transfer out of an obelisk, nor from our tek transmitter. when he types in the server he is either unable to find any servers, or if he is able to find the server, when he clicks transfer the process doesn't finish and just keeps him on the server. He can upload items and dinos, but not his character. Is anyone else experiencing this issue and/or found a workaround?

Lost character - HOW IT HAPPEN I was travelling from Aberration (from 223) to Extinction (NA 500). When you travel between servers your data is saved into destination server (NA 500) and deleted in source server (Abe 223). AND I have been thrown into NA 500.. after one ot two minutes there was server crash and rollback so.. data of NA 500 was loaded from last backup save... from the time when my character wasnt there yet... Finally after restart server from backup, there wasn't my character at NA 500 and Abe 223... no character, no gears, no equipped 2 rock drakes.. And the question is..... Why traveled character data is not written in another file independent from server backup copy? So that character that will arrive into time between server backup and server crash will not be erased?

The Edge 1 sap trees is where my tribe and I do sap runs do veggie cakes. However the last few times I have done a sap run I've fallen through the tree trunks under the map. I use climbing picks to climb around the tree trunks from tap to tap. Any one else had this issue?

Making Multiplayer a 'Progression' and more fun
stealthdawg666 posted a suggestion in Game Suggestions
Making Multiplayer a 'Progression' and more fun So I got this idea while reading and responding to this reddit post from a new player looking for where to start and someone suggested I submit it. This relates to Offical PVP only, and on xbox in my case although that's less relevant. I love playing on official servers, as toxic and broken as they may be. I like to 'win' on the legitimate game. This game is infinitely better in multiplayer than single-player. The sandbox model is too nebulous and undirected for single-player. So then it comes to the official server network: The problem with the open-transfer model is that 1) there's no incentive to play the 'story' of ARK and 2) it's basically mega-alliance or die. Even without duping and meshing, large established tribes can easily wipe away the beginners. There's simple too many advantages that knowledge of all the maps, all the resources etc gives. You might even say that because of the advantages of the different DLCs, there is even an element of pay-to-win. So here's the suggestion: -Tier the official servers by map based on the storyline. A. Island -> B. Scorched/Rag/(Center?) -> C. Abb/(Valg?) -> D. Extinction. -Restrict item/tame transfers to 'up' tiers only. (example, you can bring items from island to rag, or abb, but not back. From rag to abb, but not extinction to rag, etc.) -Character transfer is 2-way always. Why? -Right off the bat, if you want people to play through the game to be immersed in the story, you need them to follow the maps in order. -Late-game DLC gives huge resource and creature advantages (ex, Abb=metal, Ext = element) (scorch = wyverns, abb = drakes/reapers, ext = manas, etc) that just break the balance when you include what's only available on other maps. -Island becomes your 'beginner' map, rag/scorched is 'mid',etc, and large tribes can't come troll with end-game equipment, which legitimately causes early-game people to stop playing. -In any competitive scenario, even sports, the most enjoyment is had by challenging opponents at or slightly above your own level. Too hard? Discouraging. Too easy? No fun. This mega on mega meta we have now is boring and a time-suck. With this suggested model, If I go to an island server to pvp, it's my raw experience vs their resources and tames that they've had time to build, rather than just a managarmr slaughtering a pteranadon. If I'm on abb/valg and I want to punch 'up' to a tribe on extinction, I'll not have had access to the same amount of element, ods drops, titans, etc so it will be a challenge on that side as well but I'll have the metal, reapers, drakes, from the previous map to ride up with. -Lastly, with the tiered approach, no base is still truly 'safe.' As a large tribe I would still never "main" Island in this case because the resources just aren't there relative to the other maps. So, just a thought for the official or alternative network that might be worth trying. -

Dino Level Cap So something that does not seem to be mentioned very much is the dino level cap. Obviously this was put in place due to the glitch on the centre where when the server was capped dinos would pop wild then you would knock them out to tame gaining some insane levels. As far as I was aware, this had been patched but the 450 level cap on officials is still there which is hindering breeders trying to get great stats. Can anyone from WildCard comment on this as it is very frustrating the amount of time people put into breeding to then have to sacrifice stats for the betterment of others. e.g. spino with 1113 melee and 650 oxy..... Surely this limitation can be removed now or at least substantially raised?

Bring back Conquest servers Ark Conquest servers in my opinion were a great balance between the mega tribes of official and the small tribes , and also the time invested in the game! Ppl could actualy do more pvp and have more fun with the 2x times increased rates and still keep the feeling of the great raids without the massive latency problems . Conquest Breakdown: Experience gain, taming, gathering, breeding, hatching, and raising rates have been doubled compared to our standard Official Servers (2x). Tribes are set to 25 players max. Tribe alliances are disabled, though informal alliances are allowed. Servers have a maximum player count of 100. Conquest servers are unaffected by Evolution Events. If WC would make new conquest servers i bet that would bring a lot of the old players back , and could be a fresh start for new players . Following the idea that Wc doesnt want to wipe officials , this could be the fresh air the game is needing atm.

Any HUD mods for PvP Official? I've recently purchased the PC version and all maps for Ark over the summer. And if there is only one thing I absolutely hate about this game is the HUD and how useless it is in hairy situations. I write now to ask if anyone has a way to Mod the HUD to have bigger symbols and be more centered in the screen. It would be nice to have something like how the X-Pearl mod works for WoW. I'm not asking for an edge, or a cheat code, or anything more than just a more visible "Heads Up Display" (HUD) for Health, Stamina, Oxygen...etc etc. I play on PvP Official so I know straight out of the gate this is probably a no. But honestly the HUD is really that useless, even on its largest setting in the options I am still squinting and trying to read those colors that seemingly blend in with everything in the game. If I could just get some contrast I'd be happy, but hoping for more. Thank you for reading my rant, and if anyone knows how to tag the devs, please be a bro or bro-ette and do that for me thanks. o7

I keep trying to log into my main Aberration server, however every time I do it gives me a "Connection Timeout" error, with the screen constantly stuck in the loading screen with "PrimalGameData_bp" stuck loading. I've tried to reset my router, deleted and re-downloaded the application, downloaded my saved data from last night onto the ps4 to see if that was the issue, but the result is still the same. I've tried to join in on a tribemate from the Playstation party join option. I've tried to play on my alternate accounts, with still the same error. However, this is only applying to THAT server, I can join any other server just fine. If I can get some response to this or how to fix it, that'd be appreciated. I already submitted a response form to it, since I assumed it was a server issue. However, it seems that some of my tribemates and other tribes on the server are able to log in just fine. EDIT:This is on PS4 Official servers, and not Prim+.

OC small tribes Me and my friends have recently started playing again and we really want to play on small tribes but there are non for OC, it would be nice to have small tribes for OC and not just EU and NA because internet is really bad in Australia, sometimes official servers can be laggy on our end in OC, so anywhere else is unbearably laggy and difficult to do almost everything.
