Just to follow up on this. When we talk about mesh detection in the patch notes, this is what we have in place now. It doesn't take automated action yet and you may be wondering why. In some cases, it's very easy to detect when someone is in the mesh - which are all the cases you are seeing here. As said by one of the veteran ARK modders about this solution

"Ok, it detects when a player is inside a mesh. But is it smart enough to not kill you when you are inside a cave, ie. under the terrain legitimately? Or to know when you are not in inside a mesh, but in a inaccesible area between terrain and meshes (usually rocks? Probably not. "

This video isn't showing the failures - and there will be numerous. I commend the dev in this video but I would caution people from reading YouTube titles and assuming meshing is fixed from a 13 minute video that only shows a few cases. Has this been tested on all maps? Has it been tested on all areas of the maps? How long has ...

The Great Migration

As a reminder, tomorrow we are removing some of our lower population legacy ARK servers on PC, Xbox, and PS4 from our Official Legacy network. These servers will begin to go offline permanently at 11AMPST/1PM EST. See below for a list of affected servers:

How To Move Servers
If you are unfamiliar with the process, you are able to upload your items, creatures, and player through the Obelisk terminal, supply drops, as well as the Tek Transmitter. Survivors are advised to use Cross-ARK immediately to relocate their belongings onto a serve... Read more

...anyone told Wildcard yet?

Deinonychus
Common Name: Deinonychus
Species: Deinonychus magna pede
Time: Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive

Wild
By the time you hear the scurrying claws of the Deinonychus, it's often too late. Superior hunters, they leap from a hiding place and pounce on their prey. The Deinonychus is an agile climber as well, jumping from wall ledge to wall ledge as it seeks high vantage points to lie in wait.

A hungry Deinonychus tends to be fearless and will hunt prey much larger than itself, latching onto a dinosaur's back with its sickle-shaped claws, then starting to feed before its victim is even dead. While it likes its meat fresh, a Deinonychus isn't above scavenging a carcass if no other food is available.

Domesticated

Or no building in caves. >:D

Possible mesh fix, from this video seems quiet good, anyone has info if it would work or not?

Asking the important questions! These are the questions that should be asked about mesh detection solutions. Coming from a veteran ARK modder.

Jeff Richey on Twitter

What was done is amazing and whoever created it is talented. No hate! All I'm saying is before you see a 13min video and think it fixed meshing forever, check it out for yourself, ask questions, see it running on a server with lots of players, and not just read a YouTube title

I can guarantee that there will be areas of the maps where someone is detected under the mesh but isn't. We have tons of data that can show that. I dont discourage this type of investigation - just giving the full picture.

What's important to ask is how many false positive's (incorrect reports of someone being undermeshed) does this plugin get? What maps was it tested on? What parts of the maps?

Just a heads up, when we talk about mesh detection, this is what we're talking about. It does not take automated action but we get the same information. As was said this doesn't prevent people from getting in the mesh - just detecting.

Who remembers this?? We should do more of these. Side note: This was literally my first or second day on the job (which is why I was dressed like Mr. Rogers).

I can't answer all of your questions about timing, what's to come, or how much is coming. You should probably check out the stream next Monday though. Date/time is coming in the crunch later today.

Having done both development and community management, I realize one is no "harder" than the other - just different personal challenges. Is a hard job still "hard" if the task is easy to them? Is an "easy" job easy if the task is hard for that person? #RandomThoughts

Someone notify the devs

How are you supposed to raid caves anymore with the changes to turret tracking?

When do they post?
