Cross-Platform server clarification

Posted: 04 Aug 2020 04:33 AM PDT

I have been playing Ark for a few months on Xbox One and recently got it for Play Anywhere on Windows 10. My buddy and I have been playing on a PVE server on The Island this whole time and I can't find it on my Play Anywhere copy of the game. On my Play Anywhere copy I've seen Cross-Platform servers. I just want to confirm that the reason I can't find my Xbox server on my Play Anywhere copy is because it's an Xbox only server I started on. Whereas if we had been playing on a Cross-Platform I would be able to access the server from both my console and computer. Is this accurate?

ARK AIMBOTTING/MESHING ON XBOX

Posted: 03 Aug 2020 11:05 PM PDT

Ark XBOX Aimbotting and Meshing (I WANT THE ARK DEVS TO SEE THIS POST)

I'm making this post to firstly explain my own experience playing on Xbox Official Small Tribes, and secondly to try to get some exploits and hacks patched and hopefully better pvp (Ark Devs are notorious for not responding to community outcry or hacks or meshing or whatever but... here I am making this post anyway because if there's anyway I can make this game more fun and enjoyable by making it more fair I will). Side noteI can't really speak about Ark on PC because I haven't played and it's almost a completely different ballgame.

BOTS/HACKING I just started up on smalls Xbox with a tribe about a week ago, and every large tribe on the server has one person who has aimbot or in many cases whole tribes have it. I don't know if the devs just had it cemented in their brains that "oh people won't aimbot they're on Xbox there's no way" or what B.S, but in my experience the aimbot/ESP detection system that ark servers on Xbox atleast have in place are absolute shit. The amount of times that myself and my tribe mates have been aimbotted and killed or chased with ESP is honestly ridiculous. In some cases, people don't use aimbot just ESP (basically wall hacks). I'm fed up with people using exploits against people trying to play legit. These people are getting away with it in so many cases it makes the game wayyy more fun if you cheat because it makes it an even playing field. It incentivizes cheating at least on official to even have a chance at competing in pvp. It is extremely demotivating to go up against people with aimbot and makes the game more cancer than it already is to play. Knowing that, if someone wanted to could raid your base when you go to defend would completely shit on you in pvp because people that use these hacks don't miss a single shot ever (unless they decide to not be too obvious and set their aimbot to chestpiece or whatever).
MESHING/EXPLOITING Firstly I'd like to note how ridiculously long it took the devs to fix meshing in the first place. With that in mind I am glad they have some solutions/patches to most meshing methods. There are still certain mesh methods that need to be patched for example using a ravenger and going on a zip line to go beneath the mesh. It's insane to me how the devs of this game are oblivious to these methods and take WAY too long to come out with a patch. Even if they have not discovered these methods there should be a better system in place to report meshing. In many cases it takes so long to fill out a ticket and ridiculously long for devs to respond and most the time your base is long gone by the time the devs respond to an exploit or mesh (take Shane the shadows base for example he tried to bring attention to the lunar rocket exploit issue many times to the devs and still ended up losing his lunar cave base).
SOLUTIONS I am by no means a video game designer or a coder or whatever, but I still believe I can offer atleast some solutions (I'm sure these are pretty simple and common solutions) to make the pvp in this game more fair. I'm gonna throw out a lot of potential fixes but I don't really know how well these could be realistically executed. To fix aimbotting/ESP I suggest having the devs go out and try to find individuals or websites that sell services that give hacks, and once they recognize individuals or companies that sell hacks for their game they should figure out a way to either ban the person or shutdown the websites(again I don't know how realistic this solution is but...). I believe the whole "BattleEye" system on Xbox needs to be redone it's laughable how bad of a job it does at identifying aimbotters. There should be an in game reporting option to make it simpler and faster to get cheaters banned on top of a whole revamped system to identify and ban aim botters. I'm sure there's a lot more solutions to fix these problems and a big reason I'm making this post is to firstly bring light to these issues in the game and to secondly start conversations among people that play this game.

Anyways if you made it this far thanks for reading I doubt anyone will see this but I needed to rant about the state of stuff in this game.

Question about Ascension

Posted: 03 Aug 2020 08:48 PM PDT

So I've never ascended on official, but I understand you need it to get the new max level. My question is do you have to do Gamma, Beta, THEN Alpha or can you jump straight to Alpha and get the level cap for the lower levels?
