    Platforms Plus Fixed

    https://i.redd.it/t4b7r3ja4ss21.png

    The new Platforms Plus has been finished and is available on Steam. This has been tested and shown so far to serve as a no-loss replacement which I'll continue to support as it breaks through future updates.

    Fistbump

    I've also started work on a separate mod which will have new structures and features. No ETA on that yet as it's significantly more involved than recooking an otherwise-working mod. ;D

    Keep surviving, survivors!

    Why does the Thyla do this annoying position switch when you go out of render ?

    Classic PvP has been really nice

    Posted: 17 Apr 2019 05:01 AM PDT

    At first I was a little bit skeptic because I liked some of the Aberration stuff and was disappointed there's no Tek. However it really is great seeing a totally different type of PvP to regular official.

    • Without cryopods, bases can look like bases again. With the additional space needed for dinos, people are actually building large bases that create interesting raids. Also no cliff platforms is a lot prettier.
    • The PvP variety is great! It's so wonderful not seeing Manas in every single fight (hopefully the same with the last patch). It again creates more interesting gameplay with all the different dinos participating.
    • No Titans also means people are building successful bases not just in caves again.

    Obviously there are other great things like the fresh start that make the experience nicer but I'm enjoying Ark again with some of the newer stuff pulled back. Sure I miss things like the convenience of cryopods or the crazy metal farming in Aberration but the server overall is really really nice.

    Wild Rock Drakes Going Crazy

    Random Arena Kick = Wipe

    Posted: 17 Apr 2019 07:51 AM PDT

    Any reason why, after over a year, random kicks = wipe in boss arena? Couldn't it just respawn you at the start of the arena if you get kicked? Then you can just run back to your dinos or something? I just lost 14 rexs, a yuty, and all the ascendant saddles that were not cheap to make because the server decided to kick me. Thanks wildcard. :(

    Turrets over cap still work fine, what does lose functionality do to them?

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 11:42 AM PDT

    Is the game worth coming back to in its current state?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2019 11:23 AM PDT

    Have about 1400 hours clocked but eventually uninstalled due to the constant amount of unpatched bugs, lack of replayability at the time after a certain point. I uninstalled about a month before the latest DLC. I cleared out a lot of space on my drive recently (the download is a hefty 100GB - will this ever be compressed??), and am not sure if it's worth installing or getting another game. So, you guys tell me

    Mana Broken After Patch

    Ark enforcement team is a joke

    Posted: 17 Apr 2019 10:32 AM PDT

    Sorry for the short rant, but honestly the reaction of the enforcement team is a joke.

    We lost all boss-rexes & gear due to a teleport-to-arena glich, reported it - no response.

    We reported players selling tames for real-life money, reported it - nothing happened, player is still selling on our server.

    We lost characters due to an upload bug, reported it - no response, no restore.

    We logged into our island server today to find it completely wiped because of 30 dodos tamed during the valentines event to get as many box-o-chocolates as possible. 30 f-in dodos, a tribe tame limit of 60 tames in total. Wiped because of "spamming dodos". Thanks, we used these for our daily food, sure 10 dodos less would have done the same, but a complete wipe?! Why not just delete the "spammed tames" and move on?

    Thanks for ruining our day again and again. I am looking forward to another ticket opened by one of us unresolved for several months.

    Never thought I'd actually like Poison Wyvern that much *-*

    Mana Nerfs Too Much

    Posted: 17 Apr 2019 08:44 AM PDT

    I have no clue who thought this was a good idea. The total breath range is a little longer than the size of the mana itself, and the range at which damage starts is even lower. Make it so that the freezing was the same as before but damage will stop at turret range. That way you can't kill an offline base if you just freeze their dinos without doing damage, so no harm here

    EDIT: what I mean to say is that the abilities no longer sync with one another, making it kinda boring to use and bad from a gameplay perspective.

    Aberration PvP base location

    Posted: 17 Apr 2019 07:34 AM PDT

    Experienced PvP player 5000 hours and probably 40 into aberration lol. Where are some good defendable locations for today's meta? Obviously close to metal and all that but looking for a appt for a tribe of 10. I plan on hopping on single player when I get home but some pointers would help

    Dino chick hats off center.

    Posted: 17 Apr 2019 03:45 AM PDT

    The Dino chick hats on ps4 official are currently not sitting centered on a dinosaur, the beak of the hat is to the left of the front of the dinosaur. Was wondering if this was intended or not.

    Additional usage for shoulder pets

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 07:24 PM PDT

    You know how charge lights detect high level creatures and enemy players? Wouldn't it be cool if shoulder pets that aren't charge pets would naturally detect alpha dinos like charge pets do wild high level creatures? It'd add usage to pets other than otter and charge pets. Anyone agree, or disagree?

    Mana movement broken since the last patch? Ps4 only?

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 05:23 PM PDT

    I play on ps4 and since the last patch, their movement feels fucked. Almost every time I go to fly forward it now just nose dives to the ground instead... Bug or intentional?

    I've tried to work out if i'm doing something wrong but I think it's just broken..

    GPS Transponders

    Placed Transponder Node no longer scales up after restart

    So they dont disappear after cryo anymore? And what does refer the second statement?

    Thoughts on redefining kentros' role AFTER NERF

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 05:52 PM PDT

    Noticed that there was a good bit of disagreements with nerfing the Kentro. I appreciate the nerf (Giga rider), but I do see that the kentro was completely removed from the PvP meta.

    After reading through comments on the post for the patch notes, I came across a Kentro breeder's thoughts on the situation and could understand their frustration with the recoil damage nerf. This nerf has rendered their hard effort on the Kentro bloodline a waste of time. Yes, the Kentro method was a 'cheese tactic', but it was the Kentro's specific role when it came to PvP. Giga riders can pace their bites to avoid fully enraging to a kentro. Cryosickness kentros gave back what Kentros lost during the Giga rage buff.

    On to my first idea:

    Kentrosaurus - ( Role: Control ) -Attackers have their melee reduced by 40% for 30-60 seconds / 2 minute debuff cooldown -Attackers take 4% increased damage. Stacks, max of 3 stacks. Stacks individually decay after 10 seconds. -2h 45m incubation -> 3h 45m incubation -5h 10m baby stage -> 7h 10m baby stage -20h 40m juvenile stage -> 1d 2h 40m juvenile stage -1d 1h 50m adolescent stage -> 1d 11h 50m adolescent stage -Added roughly 1 day to amount of time taken to fully raise a Kentro -Possible hp nerf? (would have to go off top stat kentros to justify if needed) 
    • Kentro will have a defined role in the PvP meta as a control type dinosaur for PvP combat
    • Can offensively and defensively control the tide of battle
    • Forces giga to fall back until kentro is picked/killed, falling back/fighting with reduced melee for 30 seconds if they decide to bite kentro
    • Provides new value to kentro with attackers taking increased damage: defensive kentros exposing soakers to increased damage from turrets / gigas/rexes/theris to increased damage from dinos / weapons
    • Weakness to being picked still present. Can work on idea to combat against, but believe it should be untouched
    • Are the 'giga kryptonite' once again
    • Drawback for Kentro breeders will be the extra day taken to raise a kentro

    First idea may not be solid. Believe their is room for improvement. I understand the numbers apart from breeding nerfs have room to improve and require testing. This prevents kentros from becoming obsolete and have a new role in the PvP meta that will stick, which is what my goals were.

    Can think of other ideas if many are open for discussing more.

    [PC] [Unofficial] Patch 295.102 Affects Rare Sightings

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 02:15 PM PDT

    Just wanted to give people a heads up. I'm not sure what other mods are affected by this, but this recent update seems to have changed something regarding dodos and oviraptors (a discussion post suggested GreenDesert color but it seems to be quite different than that as it mostly affects just buffs applied to those two dino types). This causes mods like Rare Sightings (or any mod applying buffs to these two dinos) to fail to load, crashing the server instantly upon boot.

    I'm well aware the WildCard is not responsible for maintaining compatibility with mods, but I wanted to mention it anyway in case it was an easy fix and/or not intentional. This also serves as a heads up to unofficial server owners who may be running this popular mod and cannot figure out why they can't boot. Removing the mod is not the best solution, but it does fix the issue. Setting ActiveEvents to 0 or None does not bypass this issue.

    Edit: We've been working to help narrow down the issue. It seems to occur when an RS buff is affecting a dodo or an oviraptor (since these are tied to the event it might make sense). Procoptodons seem ok. I have no workaround for existing saves, but if you happen to run the OnlyMountableSightings ini option, then you'll be ok at least going forward.
