| Posted: 06 Apr 2019 11:38 AM PDT This game lacks a proper water dlc and a proper snow dlc. I think a neat idea would be a frozen ark with most life under the surface in the warmer waters under the thick layer of ice. It could be used to introduce new water mechanics because bases would be built underwater. The surface would be a barren frozen wasteland filled with ancient ruins where high level drops spawn, but in order to survive out there you would need special Tek augmented armors that control temperature. I think there's a lot of options for designing a cool ice/water map but I just wanted to throw this idea out there since I am a big fan of Snow biomes. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 06 Apr 2019 11:15 AM PDT Hey guys, after getting my base meshed, I feel as thought my only option to rebuild is putting turrets under the map. I play on an unofficial server and was wondering, if I build turrets in the mesh to defend myself from meshing, would I get banned? And what tools do the admins/battleeye have to detect meshing cheaters who would cheat to take my stuff and to detect those who build in the mesh? [link] [comments]  | ||

| My 2 cents of the meshing scenario coming from a mesher Posted: 05 Apr 2019 10:48 PM PDT Take this as an attempt to improve the current ark scenario and give devs an insight from a player that has been meshed, has meshed, and understands a lot than most people about meshing. Its been a long time since we've had this reception from the devs and hopefully this is a time to show them the full scenario while they are willing to make a change -Fixing meshing. How long have we been having bugs in ark? Remember legacy? Yeah thats where i play on. Remember all those dupes with lampposts, catapults in the lava? Years ago. After that do you remember the first meshing methods that came to public? The infallible sleeping bags that had no colition and were able to be placed halfway into a wall. Meshing has been going on for years now and still hasnt been fixed. Let me tell you why. The problem is that everytime the devs patches a way we find another one, which drives it useless to be patching them time after time. -Unreal Engine and Map Making The problem with the current engine is the fact that the meshes are way sided. This is most likely due to performance improvement so the client doesnt have to render two sides of the same mesh. The problem with this is that it allows the player to exploit this to be able to use the "invisible/no colition" side of the way to get an advantage over other players. Fixing this would require too much effort into remapping all the official maps. -Why is it so spread? Videos is the most popular way. However there are other ways which im not gonna disclose since i dont want even more meshers in the game. However heres whats going on. The whole aspect of exploiting on ark is multiplatform. The whole reason of this is the fact that pc gets an update always before console. Let me develop this a bit more. The reason why people complain so much about console is the fact that they only need to go to survivetheark.com and check for the latest patches on pc to see what is exploitable. Its effortlessly for them to do so while pc struggles to find new ways of abusing ingame mechanics. -Server Stabilty This one is a lesser known one but i dont know how reliable it would to be fix. Most cases the server laggs (allowing players to dupe character and items) or crashes (which allows for duping because of the way the cloud is syncd with the savefile). 2 ways i could think of this is to actually print out an error instead of shutting down the server if an error appears. The second one would be the order that the server shutsdown. Closing the steam data sync before the save occurs when crashing or forcing a save WHEN it crashes instead of using rollbacks, either way would prevent saving the game before someone uplpads an item for duping purposes. -Solutions I'll be going in order of topics adressing each one with ideas of how it can be fixed. Its up to the devs to either see if its doable or if they have a better approach. Teleport zones everywhere behind meshes. Its been 3 years of meshing already and fixing methods clearly isnt cutting it as we find a new one every update. Now hear me out. What if there wasnt any reason whatsoever to mesh? I mean, you go inside the mesh and poof. You are out. No matter how many methods you would know it wouldn't matter. Also no buildzones along with no tp zones (there are ways currently to bypass tp zones, make sure its a non buildable zone also to prevent meshed bases). This is by far the most consuming out of all due to them having to completely adapt the whole map. I would recommend starting from rag(which is the lesser exploitable one as of today and setting it as a "safe map" for everyone to be on while the others are worked on. Then ext and ab would be priority. Island also little effort. The center in my eyes is a lost cause due to the way its built. The meshes extend way too far it would need a complete redone. Removing items from the game would ruin content aswell as not fixing the issue. There are tons of way i personally know of exploiting, and removing all the items that are used would mean removing half of the games content. I dont see how the devs would be able to fix one way meshes but if the above is followed and tp zones are implemented (HAS TO BE TP ZONE otherwise players can get it and shoot your base up, not "no build zone") there wouldn't be anything else needed to address one way meshes. Only clip a bit of the unused areas (like flat spots behind meshes, try to make ground meshes stop close by of the wall instead of using it for too long areas. To fix the console side of the story and remove a lot of the karma that ark has gotten it would be as simple as releasing updates both for console and pc together. Small patches will be prioritized if a bug is found and worked asap to be released at both platforms. The content updates that does not include patches or balancing can be more time consuming since it will need to be delivered at both so taking more time for updates will be understandable. Removing what exploits have been patched will work to a certain extent from survivetheark but keep in mind that will only make meshers go to youtube to find them. Another idea would be copyright claiming videos. I dont fully know the extend as to a company being able to claim a video on youtube showing meshing as a policy breaking activity. I am aware that nintendo has done similar stuff and got away with it. With moderation and no power abuse taking down meshing videos would as a short time fix a lot of the "mainstream meshing". As a big company wildcard could contact YouTube to check whether or not this is possible. Keep in mind discord and other apps will be used to show this kind of stuff but it will greatly reduce the amount as for a quick solution And as for server stability it would be good to redo the order that the server does functions as its shutting down. Meaning making sure the save is either the last thing that happens or making sure data upload is not possible after a save. The first would probably be better. This will greatly reduce duping. Idk if theres any way to print an error instead of a shutdown if the server finds an error. This would prevent people crashing server on base defense. Also improvement on servers needs to be done on official servers MAINLY. Some servers caps at 70/70 players and it can get VERY laggy. Also 255 ping capped all the time untill everyone times out. I wouldn't recommend upgrading all the servers but only the ones with big activity and that have rached 50+ players in the past month as a starting point. A way to gather new ways of exploiting would be a reward system. Lets just say survivetheark gets a new feature like a ticket system for showing exploits. The only thing is that only the devs can see. As for a reward i cant think of much apart from ingame cosmetics. Like a full armor skin that you would get a piece per exploit shown. Or anything else would work. The jist is to incentive players to report those exploits in a non public way alongside with rewards that will not give unfair advantage and unbalance servers. Skins would be a great way to start. Also for proof if someone would be going to do so would be making sure there are rules to be followed in order to attain prizes. Such as making video proof unlisted if it is on YouTube, just small measures to prevent another meshing outbreak. Now heres what i have to tell you that dont want to wait for fixes I play legacy. I make mesh protection. I havent been meshed in over a year because of that. I have been disappointed in the enforcer behaviours before with warnings instead of bans. Losing a whole base and not being able to defend nor get your stuff back/rolled back. Legacy is indeed less populated than official for sure but the ability to make even meshing "fair" (as you can defend from it) makes it great for me Also as a last side note since i do expect wildcard to be looking at this, ive never exploited on official even though im active on it. Legacy is where i play and abuse a couple things. But you should also be aware of all the players in there are doing it aswell. Its the way we like it. This is a video i made a while ago. Its sounds a bit of a rant but i did not have that intention. Most of the arguments are there but its a 30 minute video. Be aware https://youtu.be/mKYOPBiHoSg Best regards.

| Looking for an ORP or raid resistance buffed cluster PS4 Posted: 06 Apr 2019 08:40 AM PDT Hi, I'm trying my hardest to look but all I can find is ORP servers with 2 people online! Does anyone know of any active PVP servers where there's a structure resistance and or turret buff system in place or alternatively a good ORP cluster? Preferably with rates similar to small tribes. I actually like farming so 10x and above just isn't fun for me, I appreciate what I'm asking for is quite specific so if anyone knows of anything I might like then i'd love to hear it. I tried ark the way it should be and although it is what I wanted the rates were too high. There was no fun in being able to raise 50 reapers in one evening off the same reaper queen.

| Posted: 05 Apr 2019 07:19 PM PDT I love the Araneo. I think it is a cool tame that was planned and executed poorly. When tamed in caves, getting the araneo out safely is mission impossible levels of difficult. Once you have it at your base, its stats are super wimpy that it just sits there and does nothing. It cant climb up walls or anything. The only real useful thing about it is the webbing ability, which can be used as a bola or to help kill something. I love it anyway though, just the way it looks and the idea of having a big ass pet spider is enough for me to spend time taming them. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Xbox pve 745 rolled back way over a week. Why? Posted: 05 Apr 2019 07:53 PM PDT | ||
| FYI You insta Die in Desert Titan Terminal if you to Close to The big Window Posted: 05 Apr 2019 10:33 PM PDT Thats pretty much it.

This time all my gear instant Broke and i insta died with all my shit gone but my mana touching Same ground is Alive. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 06 Apr 2019 06:02 AM PDT This is going to be more of a rant than anything else, so if you have no interest in that, please leave. I have around 600 hours in Ark, and have owned the game for well over 2 years. I can safely say it is the buggiest, most unoptimised game I've ever played. I have never had any game crash as many times as ark has. The amount of times my dinos have got stuck in a fucking cliff, my character has fallen through the map, the amount of times my dinos have just dissipated out of existence. I've probably had to reinstall the whole damn game 5 times because of endless crashes and 'time outs'. And then there's the fact that, with an RTX 2070, I5 8600k and 16gb of DDR4 RAM, I only end up with around 40fps in medium settings at 1440p resolution. Not to mention that the game looks like my shit stains in the toilet bowl anyway, yet still can't run at a reasonable framerate. Recently myself and a few friends have been trying to play in a non-dedicated server. We've done this before, and it was buggy, but it has since got much worse. We had to make a new game because the last game was bugged and resources weren't re spawning. Good job Ark! So I am the one hosting this new server. My specs should not be a problem, and my internet is fine too. In the first day of playing, the game crashed 10+ times, meaning we lost a whole lot of shit as it kept rolling back because it doesn't save regularly either. In the end, I had to run the game in 'extremely low memory mode' because despite my specs, running a non dedicated server is too fucking demanding apparently. So once we got past the crashes, then the issue arose that the people I was playing with kept timing out. We found out that a temporary fix was to 'validate the integrity of the game cache'. Every fucking time, without fail, it was 'two files which failed to validate and need to be re-acquired.' Every day, they had to verify their files again, and every day it was two fucking files which were missing. Took us about an hour or more today just to get connected. So moving on from all the server issues, then there's the weird download problems that occur which you will probably experience a lot when you have to reinstall the game multiple times. The download will just repeatedly freeze, for unexplained reasons, then restart, then freeze again, meaning the whole process of downloading the game often take 10x longer than it would normally for a game of that size. Oh, I almost forgot. The full game takes up 170gb of your drive. 170gb of pure, unoptimized, shitty looking textures and bugs. The developers need to stop being greedy fucks, and simply stop releasing new, broken as fuck DLC, and instead release an absolute shit ton of patches. Rant over. Sorry about that.

| Outgoing Reliable Buffer Overflow Posted: 05 Apr 2019 02:47 PM PDT Outgoing Reliable Buffer Overflow has been locking out survivors and/or preventing survivor transfers within a cluster since 2015... Still no fix... Any word from the WC Devs on making this an actual priority? To be clear: I'm not asking for player-side "preventative best-practices" (ie. mindwipe every session, or only logoff with an empty inventory)... I'm asking why WildCard has not found time in 4 years to investigate and resolve this issue? I've recently had to abandon a survivor and start again at level 0 because it was impossible to logon because of this error, and there are no warnings and no POST-error workarounds. I actually think it's FUNNY that the "Outgoing Reliable Buffer Overflow" message box even has two buttons (Accept & Cancel), because they both do the same thing: aborts your login attempt and leaves you scratching your head.

| Posted: 05 Apr 2019 05:42 PM PDT I thought you had to summon titan to get engrams, but I just helped a random tribe kill one and I got the new ext engrams (I had killed him on my own a while back). Was it because I got the kill shot, or because I was in the proximity? Curious about the rules. [link] [comments]  |
