For what it is worth, I don't believe the majority of the player base would find the island names pictured above to be offensive. Crude? Sure. But then again this is a game where we can cut other people's heads off for sport so maybe we should avoid getting on people for making sex jokes.

Mhm, I was speaking in general when it comes to island names.

Thank you for submitting a ticket to bring our attention to this.

We expedited a fix for it yesterday in v104.55. We'll be looking into those players who may have taken advantage of this method but our initial focus was on fixing this as soon as possible.

If it player reports, typically it'll be based on when they're submitted - though more severe cases/tickets related to ongoing investigations/happening right now may be escalated depending on what's happening at the time.

Something like this (dodgy island names, if they are offensive) will just get picked up over time and dealt with. By the way, a company wipe is not definite, it's just a possibility and handled on a case by case basis.

Is that what Atlas is using as a ban message? Looks more like a warning.

This screenshot is from a global broadcast that went out across the Network earlier today.

Lol so everything not retweeted by survivetheark is not of value then? I’ll just let Jen, Chris and the Panda know that. They are constantly tweeting very useful info that never gets retweeted. Thanks for blocking me on twitter btw, made my timeline a lot less grimy. Destroyer of PrimPlus, Breaker of Fun Ideas, The First Demoted Dev, True Heir to the Poop Crown.

My only point is that if you don't like the content of someone you are following - you should probably stop following them and just look at the main account / official posts for information.

Edit: I'll do my best to make sure all relevant stuff makes it into an official post / community crunch

You weren't able to drop structures during war time?

The News section on the bottom right-hand corner of the main menu screen, as well as the area on top of the server selection screen, will display when we're running a bonus mythos event.

Employees need WC twitters for WC stuff and personal twitters for personal stuff. Over the past few years, every WC employee on twitter has tweeted complaining about having players comment on their personal posts with game related stuff. Easily avoided, along with avoiding spoilers, if they just had one account purely for WC related stuff. I'm shocked WC doesn't require this.

I do see your point. Honestly, for anything official, you can just follow @survivetheark and check out the community crunch. Especially now that we're pulling relevant info. It's pretty common for CM's to just have one account that they tweet from and a company/game account that many can tweet from. Anything of value said from a personal twitter will be retweeted or mentioned in the crunch. If you dont want to see personal tweets, you should probably unfollow and just follow @survivetheark.

If we had access to the model, we could just use Substance Painter or something to make it look all nice. The tool in game is quite similar, but the controls are godawful.

The character models are available in the devkit source art, which is available from the Source Art link on this page:

There are also a variety of tutorials on creating armor skins as mod content.

Assuming you're referring to our official beginner servers, no things cannot be downloaded into the server but we do not block items from drops or items that can be obtained from special events. The main idea is that for the most part you can't really do a ton with the limitations we've put in place so it's less incentive to stay on the server thus making it more hospitable to newer players to get the feel of things.

I get where you're coming from generally speaking, but she's not said any spoilers to my knowledge (and I am caught up in the show so I know what's going on). Expressing disappointment in an episode isn't a spoiler and that was the most recent tweet about the show.

Comment

You might try the "Rare Sightings" mod, or one of the overhaul mods like ARK Eternal or Primal Fear. The overhaul mods tend to rely heavily on color/texture modification to seperate different "tiers" of creatures.

Any chance of a snippet of what new commands you working on dude? While I'm hear and that's your goal, are you aware of any issues with spawning silcate as the command has not been working for me and i know of other server owners that are having the same issue? This is using the gfi code on a Nitrado on Xbox.

Gfi uses some different logic. Not sure if it'll work with silicate. Might have to use the long command for that one. I'm working on something to spawn a lost dino back in a cryopod. No promises on that one though. Also one to teleport to players more easily and another to help when trying to hatch a dino. Hopefully they'll pan out but no promises. This is something I do as extra when I have the time.

Comment

Probably not too much. I might play around with my data to make some new views and take another stab at making a few new cheat commands.

They wipe every 30 days. The next wipe will be on May 23rd. The time varies but its usually around 2-3pm EST. When they wipe we always tweet out that they've wiped as well.

I guess We'll just keep submitting tickets. it's just so soul destroying watching my tribe slowly give up after almost 2 year of progress because another tribe can abuse in-game mechanics to the point they're completely unraidable, letting cheaters win gets to me on a real high personal level!

That being said, PS4 enforcement are good at replacing tamed and items. 3 incidents of losing items and 1 losing tames and a Gm Tobida was in the tribe in less than 10 days and replaced what we lost. Just the enforcement of abuse is lacking.

If i give you the support ticket could you progress it any further?

Unfortunately, that'd be favoritism and I can't do that. That's the road to darkness. I'll go bug a programmer today for something to help me accelerate things. Don't tell Chris.

You can DM me directly via reddit.

I don't believe we're hiring atm. What I'm working on is more of a tools problem than a people problem. I'm lining up the ones and zeroes properly for maximum impact.
