ARK Survival Evolved Dev Tracker

Console gang: we'll be bumping rates early for you whilst you wait for the event to officially start at 4pm EDT.

The event rates will take effect in approx 30 minutes.

Don't forget to thank @NotDollie! <3

Me and the community this morning

To make this anniversary special, you'd really like to see breeding rates increased for the event.

We're increasing breeding rates to 3x for regular officials, smalltribes, and all specialty servers for the duration of the anniversary event.

We can talk about expectations later :)

The lack of info caused speculation and here we are. Got it!

I do need to understand for future reference. How did we overhype the event? Genuine question. I don't think much went out (which is what was mentioned yesterday)

Was it me? Some people say I have too much hype and I need about 20% less.

Here's what we'll need to do at the very least. Monitor server performance over the next few days and reassess.

If servers go down or are impossible to play on, we'll e getting a bunch of "fix your server" tweets.

I feel like I'm making hostage negotiations 🤣

We cannot do 5x breeding for two weeks. The servers will never forgive us.

I'm listening... Keep talking :)

You want the increased breeding rates but you want smooth servers too? So do we :)

2X Breeding and no colors? What gives!?!?

High breeding rates really stress the system and with the influx of people, it's probably not a good idea.

Colors are coming in Summer Bash which is right around the corner.

Now before we get started, do me a favor. Let's keep those #PositiveVibes flowing. Let's remember why we are all gathered here in matrimony. Because of ARK.

It hasn't been a perfect friend but it's always been there. And it will still be here.. growing and improving 😎
