I had a bit of time to spare between imprints, so I decided to visit all the other arks that are on my cluster. All which I've beaten the bosses on and did everything there is to be done. I had to do a mindwipe to clear the engrams from creative when I was testing out some mods on extinction before launching the server, so I needed to re-learn all the map-unique engrams. To my biggest surprise, as soon as I got back to Extinction, half of them were locked again. Like the preserving salt, glowstick, hazard suit, glider, climbing pick but not others like the desert armor, chainsaw or the zip line motor. What am I doing wrong?

I bought 2 DLC's for ARK for my son some time ago. Scorched Earth and Aberration I think. Both were bought "as a gift" on my Xbox account, and then installed on his. At the time we could get neither to work. When he tries to play them it says they are not installed. At the time (last June) I tried and failed to fix it. We uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. Recently we tried again, and he signed out of his "child" account, I signed into my account, we started ARK and started Scorched Earth successfully. He was then able to swap back to his account and play the DLC in that session. When he tried to play it later on by starting it from his account it went back to saying it was not installed. Which clearly makes me think it is something to do with Xbox restrictions at the time you try to access the DLC within the game. His account is setup as a child account (he is 12) with certain (custom) online restrictions. Mine is unrestricted. I cannot give him access to my account, obviously. I'm not willing to simply de-restrict his Xbox account. He is, after all, just 12. Question is, what is causing the DLC to say it is not installed when he tries to play it form his account? I can find very little usable help searching here and in other forums.

I want to go tame a pheonix and have 13,000 hours on legacy official ark, but I can't find an official legacy scorched Earth server to goto. I have all my stuff on an official legacy pvp Ragnarok server. Is there any servers I can goto and return from for the mission of getting a pheonix? Did they remove all the scorched Earth servers that I can play on?

Im on PC Official Scorched Earth 392 and i would love to know why the server laggs incredibly bad almost all of the time i play on the server, its not my internet because it happenes to all my other tribe mates also and the rest of the players on the map. Scorched Earth is the small map but laggs the most :s Just walking out of your base on SE is almost a death sentence for you from server crashes etc. i love playing Scorched Earth as i enjoy the challenge but playing with massive lagg makes it too much of a challenge lol. Just wondering really if this is happening on all SE servers or just a few, cant really move my base as it cost a lot to build Is there a forum page to report really bad lagg servers, would be also nice to know

So, I'm generally new to Ark and while my tribe has been around longer than I have we're overall new. An alpha tribe decided to declare war on us the other day. We're currently based on scorched and the date for the war is Sunday. However, on and off, tribe members from the alpha tribe will join the server for about 10-15 minutes and then leave. We already have the obs locked down. So now, we're just confused as to what they could be doing? We found one sleeping bag all the way in the desert, and that is it. No base. No anything. So, I just wanted to see your guy's input as to what they might be up to?

Please fix this, Can't access this crate at all. Tried using a grappling hook, thylacoleo, and megalania. Couldn't find anywhere close enough to land to access the crate, there is an invisible wall right there that stops me from getting any closer. I found a post from Dec 2016 about this. Really? Over half a year and official release and this is still a thing? Ooooh and a video from Sep 2016 Queue that up to 3:50 and listen for a few seconds. As I main SE on our official cluster, this is a huge disappointment to find after starting my cave runs.

With Extinction DLC just around the corner (not really) I was wondering if I had missed out on any news regarding a Scorched TLC patch. I remember Wildcard talking about it a while ago as well as seeing some leaked Scorched TEK engrams such as a TEK wyvern saddle but haven't heard anything since then. Does anyone know if they are still working on this? Just kinda of feel like we're missing a chunk of the story as it is and a TEK TLC patch would add some welcome content to Scorched.

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.

So my tribemates managed to trap a Pheonix and built an enclosure around it to tame it next heatwave. I use the bed that we have there to fast travel as soon as the heatwave starts, other members do the same and what we see is entirely different. . . how is it that they can see the wild creature and yet I can't? I cant see the taming effectiveness, level, anything to even imply there is anything there. Has anyone else encountered this problem and know the cause/solution.

Hopped on a scorched earth server the other day looking for a place to build, and found that some mega tribe I guess had blocked all three obelisks off. I have heard this is against the rules but I'm unsure. Is it really? And if it's not, why the hell not? I understand defending a server but that seems similar to the whole blocking player spawns thing. EDIT: And if it is against the rules is there somewhere I can report this?

I’ve seen some forums already on this topic but some were confusing and I thought i would make my own question. I have a single player game on the island on my xbox, and I recently got scorched earth and wanted to try it out for fun. I don’t plan on deleting or ‘completeing’ my island game yet, I still want to keep it. Is it possible for me to have two different saves for the island map and the scorched earth map without one save being deleted? I heard some people talking about uploading your character and dino’s onto the other game but I want to have two separate games for each map, is that possible without anything being deleted? Thank you!

Scorched Earth hasn't had much love in the past. The last thing that was added was the Phoenix. In my opinion, if aberration has an ascension, so should Scorched Earth. Now that everyone knows about aberration and that there's nothing to hide about it anymore, this is now fine to do. As well as that, Scorched Earth needs it's own tekgrams, just like aberration. And if the SE tekgrams are added, please give us a tek wyvern saddle.

I know many people want this, but here are my suggestions for it. Let's start off with creatures: -Alpha variants of the Lightning and Poison Wyverns, of which will drop Alpha Wyvern Talons of each of their non-alpha brethren. (that would also include the Alpha Fire Wyvern) -And obviously, the Overseer of Scorched Earth: Same as the Island's, but it turns into a Manticore Guardian (because it makes sense), a Wyvern Guardian (because its in the Dev-kit), and a Deathworn or Rock Elemental Guardian (because we need three guardians and these were the best candidates). Now onto the map changes: -TEK Cave entrance should be at the colosseum, at the giant cage area in the center, with the terminal requiring the Manticore Trophy (type depending on difficulty), the three Alpha Wyvern Talons (1 per Wyvern per difficulty), Deathworm Claws (not sure on amount, around the same for Basilisk Scale on AB), normal Wyvern Talons (same as Rock Drake Feathers on AB), Thorny Dragon Quills (new drop, about the same amount as Nameless Venom), and Rock Elemental Hearts (new drop, not sure on amount). -The TEK Cave itself can be a copy/paste of the Island's or completely new, up to you, with creatures from Scorched Earth of course. -The Teleporter Room should be identical to the Island's though. -Now the Observation Deck should be the same, but instead of the Dragon Arena we have the Manticore Arena, instead of the Megapithigus Arena we have the World Scar (to signify the Wyvern Guardian), and either the Dunes (for the Deathworm) or one of the mountains (for the Rock Elemental). -The Hall of History should be pretty much the same, but the creature spawning area shows creatures native to Scorched Earth rather than of the Island as well as something to show where the fantasy creatures come from. -The Supply Drop spawner should show the Scorched Earth beneath the bridge to the Overseer Arena rather than the Island. -The Overseer Arena should be identical to the Island's, just with another Island duplicate rather than another Scorched Earth duplicate in the background window, and Aberration's ark should seem slightly closer. How the Overseer boss battle works will be the same as the Overseer boss battle on the Island, just with the Scorched Earth Guardians replacing the Island's. The Defense Units and Attack Drones can be the minions spawned by the Scorched Overseer, or the Overseer here can spawn in the Enforcers and another TEK creature that may or may not be released tomorrow (hint, hint), or the Scouts, but that would be silly, unless they are only spawned in as heat seeking mines. And of course, after defeating our good friend the Overseer, we get the three best parts, the ending cutscene, showing the player going through a similar cutscene as the one from the Island, but at the end when we are plunged into Aberration, ending up at The Portal, where we wake up to start anew. Next we've got the new Tekgrams earned for defeating our five formed friend, the TEK Wyvern Saddle (the one we've all been waiting for), the TEK Atv (would fit better to have a dune buggy come from the land of dunes), and perhaps the TEK Sword and Shield for Scorched Earth, then add the TEK Light (with Charge requirements rather than Element) for Aberration. And lastly, the new cool Specimen Implant look for Ascending here, your guys' choice on how it looks. Now the gameplay of the Guardians will be quite interesting, the Manticore Guardian will have the average attacks, a bite, stinger strike, and those weird poison balls the normal Manticore shoots but with the same effect as the Broodmother Guardian's. The Wyvern Guardian, now we have three options: the first is just the Wyvern model over the Dodo Wyvern asset, you know where it can spit the three different elements, but the TEK version of them, second is a three headed variant that can also do the abovementioned attacks, where each head spits the same element at a time, mostly to cash in on a certain three headed dragon that appeared in a trailer for a movie recently, oh how the fans will love it. Third option is the same as the abovementioned, but each head spits a different element, TEK version of course. Now this last one depends on which you choose, the Deathworm Guardian will be able to avoid damage by digging into the Arena floor, but otherwise the same two attacks every other Deathworm can do, or the "Element Elemental" Guardian will have all the same attacks as a normal Rock Elemental, the punches and slam, Element pile throw, and spin attack. I apologize in advance for this long "suggestion," but I've been waiting a long time for it and I thought today was a good day to post this. On the concept of today: Happy 2nd Birthday Scorched Earth. I swear if I look on the homepage in a moment or tomorrow and it shows that SE Ascension was added, I will be so happy that I might cry.

Is there any idea what's the problem when I access the inventory to upload something ie: Tek transmitter, or obelisk it causes me to lose connection to the host on a official server?

Scorched Earth is an excellent map due to its overall performance, very good caves, limited meshing issues, and the most efficient crystal + element farming across all maps. This puts SE at the top next to aberration for many mega tribe as an optimal choice for a main server. The issue is that there are only 22 SE servers on the official-pvp cluster, 7 of which are Asia servers. That leaves us with the remaining 15 which are left to the 50+ tribes capable tribes able to hold a main server without major alliance efforts dumped into wiping them, which even then the church caves online ability to defend is second to none as seen in the recent attempt to wipe an SE server.

The rate at which black pearls drop and also there quantity should increase from deathworms. I fought the manticore on an ARKpocalype server and got 8 black pearls one time in total and 90 element. Considering the cost of Tek along side general progression that figure doesn't make sense. At most I got around 40 black pearls from deathworms during the boss in total. I don't think progressing to Tek teir on the scorched earth map should be about farming deathworms and rolling a dice to see how many, if any it will drop. I think the element drop rate is fine but the black pearls which is equally required to make tek is not.

So I’m rather new to Ark but I wanted to get a DLC. Since I like to think of myself of someone who’s good at the game, I’ve decided I want to get the DLC which is the harder out of the two. I’m curious as to which one is considered a bigger challenge and will offer more content overall. I’m too afraid to watch any videos on either DLC because I think it will kinda spoil some of the surprises. So which one is a bigger challenge to play and which one do you recommend.

Today I have spent alot of my morning grinding metal and transferring items to my Scorched server. (NA-PVE-868). Within the last hour I transferred to my Island Base and uploaded 12 Rex's for pickup on Scorched Earth. I transferred back to Scorched after uploading and flew to Green Ob where I downloaded them all and parkd them to the side. Then I flew back to my base and logged off in order to go to my Ragnarok server and upload some saddles for those Rex's. I was gone for about 30 minutes after returning back to Scorched I did not spawn in my base, instead I got the screen to pick a spawn. The thing is I was not dead and my beds are not appearing anywhere. WHY am I not appearing inside my base like i logged off from. What could have caused such an occurrence. I have at least 4 beds if I were dead to choose from but none are appearing. I should be able to join and be at my base.

So I bought the season pass for Ark, 45 bucks down the drain. It's supposed to include Scorched Earth, along with two of the next DLC's. I thought this would have been a steal, but it WONT DOWNLOAD Scorched Earth!! It keeps sending me back to the store to purchase SE for 20 bucks. Anyone got a fix for me? Help would be greatly appreciated

My turbines have been running %100 until now, for some reason I'm only getting %20 wind in the desert. I'm on PVP PS4 SE APOCALYPSE 3. Does anyone know why? I can't find any other post with this problem. Also turbines aren't snapping to existing power grids. Crop plots aren't working in the desert even though I'm beside a oasis, I get a message saying there isn't enough sun, in the desert... I've posted a support ticket about it but I have got no reply.

Hey everyone. Now that Extinction is revealed, i think we could talk about the rumours about ARK 2. At first, i really hope its not named ''ARK: Survival Evolved 2'' but maybe something like ''ARK: Survival Developed'' or ''Advanced'' after what they want to go for. ''ARK: Survival Evolved 2'' just doesntnt fit in any way imo. Personally, i think Developed would be good, because they could make a kind of storymode, where you could be either Helena or Rockwell, and live on the diffrent ARK's, and progress through the Explorer Notes, like Helena would make objectives, where she could investigate diffrent animals, and Rockwell could find recepies for Rockwell Recipies. Then they could duel the bosses, and ascend to SE, and continue the story. Maybe in Developed we could see and intro to the storymode where the Homo Deus create the ARK's and sending the crew (Helena, Rockwell and the japanese/chinese which name i dont remeber) down there. Also, it could be this primitive gameplay, with no metal structures, no turrets, no tek, just the primitive gameplay you see in the old trailers with wood and stone structures, smithies (maybe fabricators) and no futuristic things. Advanced could be for more advanced (funny enough) gameplay, with more robots and future ARK's to explore, and the technolog we see in Aberration (if you know some lore, they create a bomb and they hack the overseers and build the ascending-portal, and also the fluid Element in Radioactive-zone) and Extinction Trailer. Some cool gameplay and new mechanics with vehicles and more. Last thing i think could be cool, was if its just named ''ARK: Survival Continues'' or something similar to just go on with the story about Helena and the others (minus Rockwell ;)), but this may be tough to make, becuase maybe the others diesdd on Earth or something, maybe they are the bosses. But we will see. Hope you will come up with some ideas too, post them, i am intersted in what you think, becuase there is a lot of potential

A picture is worth a thousand words so make sure to check out the attached image. During an electrical storm on scorched earth there were a whole lot of black triangles in the sky around the area. This was in singleplayer on an original xbox one, on the latest patch available at the time (5:04:37pm on 1/3/2018 AEST).

So I am playing single player. I have tamed about 20 titanoboas and have them in the sand dunes in a 3 wall high cage and fed with eggs in a feeding trough... None are laying any eggs. What am I doing wrong?
