Server Status: Online!

Zinnia — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 04:11:04 +0000

Sorry, I left out one code in the gameusersettings.ini sooooooooo it's back so you can download your stuff for a limited time!

Server Status:Unknown

Apparently the server host in dallas is experiencing issues and it is even preventing me from making changes via TCADMIN.

I have no idea when the server will be back online but expect loss of data. I may just increase the rates for a day and maintain the open status of the ARK data tribute download

Serious:Map Change (Vote)

How many of you want to actually change to the new official map?

I know I'd gladly throw away my everything to start on another beautiful map.

So far I've only heard yes's so since 90% of the server pop is online (Those offline confirming for the most part that they want it) tell me what you want.

[ ] Keep the Center.

[ ] Switch to the new map.

[ ] Fuck off Neera no one ever responds to these anyway.

[ ] Pfffft I can't read.

Life and the Overspawn issue.

Wyverns/Pelas/Quetzals overspawning all over the place?

This is what we've termed the overspawn issue. Particular species of dinos overspawning on a map is a core-game issue that can happen when any remap mod, like this one(Classic Flyers), is used. It is a recognized bug by WC but is not considered a priority fix by them.

I will continue to research the issue and possibly find a way to deal with it.
Flocks of 50 Quetzals and other dinos may look amazing but in reality it may mess with server stability and needs to be addressed.

Nerfs!

Alright, I've managed to connect with a developer of ARK Eternal and will begin to work on heavy nerfs for just about everything.

What do I plan on nerfing?

Dino Spawn Rates
Dino Spawn Level
Ascendant/Immortal Gear Spawn Frequency
Look into nerfing crystal torp items and buffing darts.

The nerfs will happen at 12:30am 6/8/2017

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Server Updating

Zinnia — Wed, 07 Jun 2017 20:11:26 +0000

A couple of the servers mods have been updated mid-day so I am updating the server. It will be back up in under 5 minutes. I'm sorry to interrupt any possible taming or construction.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Server Wide Apology

Zinnia — Wed, 07 Jun 2017 20:03:15 +0000

After the initial experimental Mod release of ARK: Eternal a founding tribe of the server went berserk and claims to have raided everyone on the server. (I HIGHLY doubt he actually raided everyone due to the sheer size of the map and general distance between player HQs)

I will be working on a way to heavily nerf this mod since it was created with PvE in mind. If I am completely unable to modify spawn rates and levels I will be forced to remove this highly requested mod that no one disagreed to add onto the server.

To keep or not to keep, that is the question.

I feel sick to my stomach when I see some of the new mod dinos and yet, from what I read on the mods official website taming them seems reletively easy after the enlongated KO process.

What gets me are the levels, previously the highest level I saw was 150 but dinos could get up to 180 outside of caves and went up to 400 (Boss addition spawn exclusive); however, now I've seen special dinos like the Eternal Megalosaurus reach up to 620 and that freaks me out. It is possible to tame them it just takes ages and it does refresh the Ark Fear Factor but it just makes me feel odd.

The suggestion has been on the mods discussion page for a few days and no one openly denied it. Unless a group of players notifies me on how they don't like it and why I should remove the mod then it will be staying for the foreseeable future.

You have power over the server if ou have a voice. I can't stress to you enough how important it is to actually pay attention and be active on this steam group because I do what the players want because if I wanted to play with stuff that I wanted specifically then I'd play singleplayer. If you don't utilize your voice then I'll never know how you feel about certain topics whether that ends up being a good or a bad thing.[/i]

Damn. (Crash Report)

Zinnia — Wed, 07 Jun 2017 04:10:07 +0000

The crash unfortunately reverted the save. We have lost up to an hour of progress. I will attempt to find the cause of the crash however I have no reason to believe it was the mods. The most likely cause of the crash was issues with the current hotfix, or a minor freeze on ARK4U's part.

Server Status: Crash

To prevent data loss I stopped the server and started it back up. I'm sorry to have interrupted your play time.
