My 2 cents of the meshing scenario coming from a mesher

Comment

Thanks for your perspective. It's always good to see the perspective of someone on the "other side of the fence". You are right when you talk about Unreal rendering and two-sided materials. It's expensive. In regards to copyright claiming, to me, it feels too close to censorship and something I think we'd only do in extreme circumstances.

The bigger question I have (and it's a genuine one) is why do you mesh? I've heard the "I mesh because I have to prevent meshers", but at some point, that cant be the case. Maybe it's the thrill of finding the exploit or breaking the game? I've always been curious as someone who has played ARK considerably. Undermeshing wasn't a huge thing back when I was playing.

I added the implant command months ago. :)

I see the new command givetekengramsto - will there be further work on a second command granting ascension? This would be huge for us. I am super happy with the progress, but it would be a shame if there was only an incomplete resolution for this

There is understandably more we can do, but this is all I would expect at the moment. We'll keep the dialogue going on ways to prevent this from happening in the future, and more tools to assist in the event that it does.

I'm probably going against the grain, but I just want to thank you guys for being super present these last few days. When things get tough you can stick your head in the sand or you can get out there and face the music. You guys have been pretty communicative throughout this mess and you deserve the credit when due. Cheers

Thanks! We are all doing our best given the unfortunate circumstances. The kind words are much appreciated. That's not to say we don't value criticism though, criticism does help us improve!

Thanks! I will respond to you via DM going forward :)

lmao, I'm sure it was a bit more complicated than that. They most likely had to modify the existing command to add a target player ID parameter

but yeah..

We had to create a new one, fwiw.

Sorry to hear about the unfortunate loss. Yesterday's rollback(s) is a case example why we try to avoid rollbacks as much as possible, the one yesterday did effect a large amount of players sadly. We are however working to avoid the impact of rollbacks though (as well as trying to avoid them in the first place). Can you provide a little context for me? Such as which server(s) so I can have a look and ensure the server was rolled back properly to begin with?

like 25% of our vaults are gone

usually ps4 gets every update at a delay, even when it is a known bad patch on pc.. ps4 still ends up getting it

once we literally got a patch that broke snow owls so they could give unlimited food on the same day that the same bug was fixed on pc

We released the version of the patch that didn't include the vault cleanup code on ps4 today, same time as xbox.

Didn't know about that. That's a really big improvement from before, nice.

Aye - came from applying the same approach - valor did the heavy lifting on that one. :)

Many thanks for responding.

The new command will definitely help out people that have lost accounts. Only other thing I can think of is way for players to reclaim their imprinted dinos again. Didn't happen to me this time, but know people have lost a lot of time investment recently. Feel for those that lost their imprinted Gigas and squids. That two week time investment is rough when you lose 50+ of those dinos in blink of an eye.

CS started restoring imprints a while back.

Thank you once again for showing us that you are listening. Ced on twitter and the WC devs on reddit have been very responsive since this incident, even if they previously only had bad news for us. As a community we do expect you to make mistakes, but owning up to them and coming up with new solutions to fix them is at the end of the day what really matters.

Thanks again WC for restoring our faith in you. The deletion and downtime it brings will sting, but knowing that ultimately if this should happen again, there is now a solution, makes it worth it.

Glad we were able to come up with a solution for this one!

Fair point.

The new team has tried to pay specific attention to how we can improve these situations - the changes to patching over the last year have come from this. It's why when we reversed the HOD ban, we committed ourselves internally to approaching meshing through a new way which you're starting to see the results of now. It's also why we've added the givetekengramsto admin command in today's patch.

The reality is that we're human, and we make mistakes like everyone else, but we're trying to learn from them and change our processes to help.

WC has confirmed - No engrams or levels over 105 will be restored.

We included an admin command in today's patch to help cs help you with this. They're working out the logistics now, but if you lost a character from this rollback, they should be able to help you out.

These commands are for the player themselves and not for a targeted player just fyi so they don't ascend another player or give them engrams.

If you uploaded between the patch and the rollback, it's likely that you lost your character. You'll need to file a ticket with support if that's the case.

That is exactly the opposite of what he said. We can restore imprints.
