So yesterday Heroth went through all this trouble to craft Argent saddles for Meksi and i, even providing the extra hides we didn't have.
So naturally today I land Angie outside my house, step inside, hear battle music, and quickly run back outside to find everything quiet but no bird. She should still be alive somewhere, she's just MIA so if you see a painted Argent named Angie let me know. That would be awesome.
Still can't find the server. Are we sure it's updated to 230.3?
Some of my friends have had issues finding the server as well. So far I've been able to send them an invite through steam and that lets them connect. Once they have a character on the server they can just search for it using the character filter option.
I'm usually on around 10-11pm central, so let me know if you need an invite!
That's just it, I already have a character on there. Yet I can't seem to find it.
-edit-
Eventually got it through filtered search, took a bunch of tries though.

Oh! also... Kipipi noticed a Giganotosaurus belonging to 'Bird hird' near there base was injured, and was worried it might rage out and destroy there base... Do we have anyone still around from bird herd?
Probably Countess', I don't think any of the rest of us tamed one. If I spot her on jabber I'll mention it.
I don't think any of us are real active on this server anyway. I know I'm just spinning my wheels waiting for the tech stuff and finally stuffed all but Skittles into the obelisk to reduce the feeding effort. I think martha still logs in to feed his dinos but that's about it. Countess was/is still highly active on a pvp server.
On the topic of finalizing base shutdown, I've got ~1 month of gas left and see no good reason to just waste it all. If anyone wants eggs just let me know here and I can log in next weekend (or some weeknight other than tuesday) and open the doors otherwise I'll probably just turn the genny off and let em rot slowly. I've got decent piles (30-90) of anky, argent, pteranodon, scorp, raptor, stego, boa, trike, turtle, pachy, dilo, and turtle eggs, and 20ish bronto/spino.

Yeah, i'm pretty much in the same boat... just spinning wheels till more stuff comes out (i'm waiting on the Allosaurus/Baryonyx or underwater bases) its not a huge deal since they apparently won't rage from starvation... Although if she/no one else wants it, i wouldn't mind looking after it since i got a saddle from Raptor claus... Also if no one else wants them at all i'd take the eggs aswell, purely to stop them from rotting though, so last dibs or whatever.
Upcoming Version: v231, ETA: Jan 6 Morning EST
- Tribe Alliances (PvE and PvP)
- Improved Server Performance
- Ended Winter Wonderland Event! (earned santa hats, top hats, candy canes, and reindeer costumes stay of course)
- Tamed Dino Balance Adjustment
- You can no longer build behemoth gates/gate-frames on dino platforms, and any such behemoth gates already built on platforms are destroyed
- Fixed PvP Friendly Fire causing fall/self damage not to occur
[MORE NOTES TO COME]
So assuming this is on time there is only one more day of Winter Wonderland.
I am NOT liking the reports I am hearing from the forums. High level rexes dying to a small pack of sabers. Mid-level brontos taking out Spinos. Hand tools gathering more than lvl 200+ specialist dinos.
Be VERY careful when taking your dinos out right now. Until they tweak these settings, at least.
Hmm...
* INI Options for server admins to scale tamed dino stats:
Values we currently have defaulted, in content which server admins can override in their INI's (setting all the values to 0 will have it behave 'like it used to be'!):
WindowsServer\Game.ini
(or LinuxServer)
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
We may want to set stuff to the old default until they figure out where they want things. Because this can't be the final values.
There's no plan, there's no race to be run
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Apparently they nerfed everything basically straight across the board, even gather rates... so, that grind that people have been complaining about? yeah lets go and make that an even bigger grind!
Haven't tried it out myself yet but holy shit am i glad i've been farming paste the last week or so.
Edit: Also people have been saying that %1000 melee damage rexes, with the newly adjusted melee damage % can't even feed themselves anymore, which might be hyperbole (four different people have said it, though) But that would be hilarious if true... nerfed so badly they can't even feed themselves! let alone farm meat for babies! imagine raising a baby now!

From what I'm reading this seems like a good idea. At the barest minimum the gather rates. It already takes like a week to build any kind of decent building even with dino support, if I have to do it by hand I just have seriously no idea what I'd do. And the idea of dinosaurs being unable to feed themselves is just silly as hell.
to bad we couldn't update and choose not to install the massive nerf this really effects the new players i really hope they revert these changes its annoying thank god for my 30 plant species x turret should protect me well enough
to bad we oculdnt update and choose not to install the massive nerf this really effects the new players i really hope they revert these changes its annoying
We can exactly do this, it's a setting we can revert.

I am relieved the eggs I hatched last night both turned out to be non-viable. If I had been raising one this morning there's no way I could have provided enough meat.

If the server uses the old values, then everything will be fine. With the nerfed values though... I'd probably quickly become even MORE grateful for the fishing hole, the shallow section of stream near my house that constantly fills with stuck coel.
Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

Leaving aside the crazy default values, what is even the purpose of this dino change, an attempt to reduce alpha tribe supremacy by reducing dino power?
It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

I think it's partly to make the endgame less rote/boring? I dunno. I mean, alphas aside, I dominate the goddamn landscape on one of my hunting dinos. I do like the idea that it's adjustable. So if we think it's a bit too easy we could say... reduce tamed dino HP and damage by 10-20%, make things more challenging. Or maybe it's to encourage people to work together more in large tribes.
Clearly the default values are abysmal. If they intended to set things to default and then scale up from there to find the right sweet spot... they should have told people. I'd defend these devs for a lot, but this was a clear communication failure on their part. Also, they obviously are not looking at the end result of these numbers before they implement them. If they had they'd have at least avoided the 'dino can't feed itself' problem.

We're looking into the issues currently effecting ARK Servers (Official & Unofficial). We're going to be iterating on a fix and will have the servers up as soon as possible.
Regarding the recent balance changes, we'll be taking a look at the numbers and adjusting them as we go along, we're reading all your feedback and will make changes if necessary. There will be adjustments made to the gather rate later today.

It's not you, Karoz , looks like it's everyone.
Well that is hopefully the problem. There was a small hiccup while updating so I wasn't sure if that had caused something but I guess we'll see after whatever issues with the servers is worked out.
So apparently Industrial Forges on Quetz platforms got destroyed by the update. I suspect something similar will have happened to the one on my Paracer up in the caldera.
I'll check when I log in tonight. If it's gone, I'll figure out somewhere to build one up there that won't block ore spawns, or at least, have the minimum impact. (potential example, the end of the path leading down the mountain, where it turns to the right)

I've just updated and seems to be running latest release now. Happy Grinding...
Hardcore PVP server update: I've taken over the server and destroyed the alpha tribe. Thank god I did that prior this dino nerf cause it would've been much harder.
I've put in the command lines to set the dino scaling back to default. Going to do a quick server restart to make it happen.
Edit 2: Password is back on. Please check if the dino scaling is fixed and if containers are finally locked--may have finally put it in the right place but may not be retroactive either.
If not the case go ahead and tell us so we can try to fix it.

I have half an hour now, I'll go make a check real quick.
EDIT: It doesn't seem to have taken, sorry. My spino's melee damage % is still about a third of what it should be - and spending the level she had leftover raised melee damage all of 2%, so it seems the nerf is still there.
Yeah, just tried it out, and it's pretty bad. Phomias were able to easily shrug off my Spinos damage and escape and I'm pretty sure they were laughing as they did.
Fishing hole only netted three stacks of meat, as opposed to 20 or so before the nerf. Now if I dismounted and harvested all the fish by hand I got the mounds I'm used to, but if I wanted to harvest fish by hand, I wouldn't have a Spino.

So, do Giga's need more food, when tamed and not moving, than other dinos? Maybe mine starved while I was gone?
Everything else was fine and was barely hungry.
I think this must be true since the same happened to mine.
Then honestly it's probably not worth replacing.
What a waste.
It must be new since mine lasted up until last week with only weekly feeding, but it never recovered from the near starving from when I was on vacation.
the real question is when will the game be like it used to be instead of making the late game harder it feels like it made all the time i took to tame and raise those dinos useless and turns me off from playing the game sigh guess i will have to wait and see what they are gonna do about it

Well this is weird, despite running the steam update four times v231 doesn't seem to have took and the server isn't coming up.
I have to go do some chores but I'm not even sure what I can really try next when I return. Hopefully one of the other admins has better luck.
Sorry everyone. :sad:
I think we're kind of crippled until we sort this out anyway so it's not really much of a loss. Better to get everything right than done quickly.
