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

Yeah it's pretty f**ked. We learned yesterday that you can't place a foundation on someones land if you've used a war token. It makes it a pretty pointless mechanic.

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.

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.
