He is only on twitter and usually is reply to the same exact people for hours on end.
f**king hate twitter and social media. Why is it so hard to use your own official channels...you know like the f**king forums and news page on your own damn site.
I've been more active on Reddit and the forums.
I know it may seem that way, but that's not the case :) . The post you referenced first was at a time when we had 2 community managers and times were less busy. DLC launches are extremely busy and always benefits when you have more than one person to share the load. Your feedback won't go unnoticed though!
I got the same, again left side Data corruption detected and right side just gibberish.
Gibberish hmm?
Happy but out of the loop player here:
Are you still planning on adding NPC pirate bases and cats soon?
Keep your eye on the PTR this weekend, hopefully we'll have something there for you ;)
This wasn't a suggestion by a mega-tribe. We're objectively looking at all servers and when we looked at the beginner servers we saw they weren't being used as intended and wanted to make changes. I can understand preferring these servers for performance reasons but there are other options for playing if that's your main/only concern. Admittedly, server performance is an area that needs improvement.
We'll be looking at other servers and server types and making changes if needed.
What I know is that hacker on GG side is decompiling Ark and he knows every step you do on client side :-/
It's the sad reality of the business. Staying one step ahead of the latest exploits/hacks is challenging. There will always be new methods, new dupes, new exploits, new ways to mesh. Which is why the response is just as important as finding a way to prevent them.
Can you at least roll the server back to the point where there was no PVP and they had there tribe? At least that way the war can continue.
While it's a possibility, I haven't heard anything of the sort yet. At the moment, enforcement and QA are still doing some investigation and discussing options.
Edit: For clarity anything is possible and I don't want to rule out anything for the simple fact of having to go back on my word.
Thank you for the response Ced, is there anything that can be actively done about the tribe on 188? That is one of the oldest Land Bases in Ark and there is a huge war going on. Now they are impacted by some sort of GodMode/Dev Client Wizard who has split the tribe, put them as allies making it impossible to defend.
Is there a way the server can be locked down until the issue is resolved?
I know that enforcement is actively looking at the situation. I can't get into details 1. Because I don't know them and 2. It's not proper etiquette but when/if action is taken I'll be sure the community knows (generally) what action was taken and what to expect going forward.
I posted something in a thread that has the same sentiment as this one and the message will largely be the same. Some of these discussions in the thread are happening internally too. It's not lost on the team that there is a problem plaguing the official network and some measures need to be taken to re-establish a healthy player base.
Comment on the other thread:
Read moreWhat I can say about this incident is that this incident and incidents like these are being investigated and part of a larger initiative to deal with some of the rampant cheating, exploits, duping, and meshing we've seen trending on official servers. Technical solutions are just as important as active enforcement.
I understand the frustration with the perceived lack of action and attention to these matters. I understand you want solutions, as do we. There's been a lot of discussion internally on proper procedure for enforcement, escalation, response time, and prioritization. The enforcement team and the procedures we had 2 years ago was sufficient for the landscape, but that isn't holding true now.
No excuses here, its a problem and I hope to have some clarity on these things soon.
Where can we post QoL items for Ced? I've been looking for that info, haven't seen it. Thanks!
I believe he is largely sourcing them from here (These aren't just QoL suggestion so he has to filter through them for this particular objective) https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/forum/64-game-suggestions/
My understanding that this QoL list he is putting together is a work in progress and that he will still be adding things to it.
The hardcore Valguero server is now live. NA-PVP-Xbox-Valguero-Hardcore9
I did this with otters one time.... ....and didnt log in for 3 days.
My PC is a monster so when I logged in and was HARD lagging, i knew something was wrong. Walked around the corner to a sea of otters spilling out or the corner I'd caged them in. Then I DCd and starting laughing my ass off at the otter wave I had created lol
That reminds me of the totally-intentional-definitely-not-a-bug Beaverpocalypse that happened in the Sunken Forest during the Extinction launch.
That looks awesome!
Really? I mean really, OC Crossplay needs a Valguero and people have asked... Why you got to be so cruel? Aussies are human too.
Not meaning to be cruel. Though when it comes to OC servers its purely based on our current availability and how we can allocate those resources. I will have a look and see if there is somewhere that we can place a Valguero OC instance and get a server going for you guys. I can't make any promises though
Very much appreciated! Thanks! As a side note, hardcore has a unique problem where players that die on another server are not kicked from the tribe. Particularly if the tribe OWNER dies on a different server you cant change your tribe name. If there was a way to fix this that would be great, we had several tribe leaders (over the years) die from random deaths, such as randomly spawning on the sky barrier etc.
The servers don't really talk to each other so that's something that's pretty out of scope with the current implementation as unfortunate as it is.
Wanted to drop in and let you know I've seen the chatter on social about the xbox hardcore cluster. I will look into getting a server for your cluster this week.
Will this work on console (xbox or ps4?)
I don't believe it is live on console yet.
Mods. Console command "clearmybuffs".
Also "cheat clearcryosickness" should wake up a currently sleeping dino that is cryosick if you're looking at it on PC.
