241.1

SERVER ADMIN NOTE: There was an issue with v241.0 that caused Flyers to temporarily lose their Saddles and all Dinos to fall through Structures upon reloading. We strongly recommend all server admins upgrade to 241.1 as soon as possible, and consider a one-time rollback of their save data if their players were affected by use of 241.0. Accordingly for this reason, at 5:30pm Eastern on May 17, we rolled-back all the ARK Official Servers by approximately 2 hours.

  • Fixed critical issue with Flyer Saddles Disappearing and Dinos Falling thru Structures/Bases on game load.

Unravelling the Mysteries of the ARK: Ruins!

Various historical ruins will be found all across the ARK, we encourage survivors to go on adventures and seek them out as they hold the key into unlocking the secrets of the ARK, providing insight into its true nature! Through the hundreds of handcrafted notes and logs found at these locations, you’ll learn about the backstories of the Survivors in whose footsteps you follow, and what their fates may have been — or perhaps uncover the hidden recipes to powerful dishes, or even what the Wildcard devs drink to avoid sleeping 😛

Who knows! Intrepid Survivors will have to find out by going on the hunt to uncover them all — the first set of Ruins & Explorer Notes releases with the forthcoming Biome update! 😉

ARK: Biome Changes

Blue area == Changes occurring in this area are to highlight the new Snow Biome. The previous biome will receive a touch-up / some alterations and adjustments which may effect your base. So there are some slight landscape/terrain changes made throughout the biome.

Orange area == This is the new Redwood biome. It will be replacing the previous existing
Jungle/Mountain area that was here before.

Green area == This is the swamp biome that will turn into Redwood.

 

The Old Snow Biome has received some changes, the extent of which is difficulty to quantify, it is closer to a touch-up as opposed to a re-do. There is a chance this could effect bases in that location.
The other highlighted areas, are areas of change. The swamp isn’t being made into a tiny small piece, it is still rather large – it’s just a far majority of it will be unaffected by this map change, which is why it is not highlighted on the map – however the areas that are highlighted, will change.

Here’s a little sneak-preview of what’s to come 🙂

Dino Dossier: Purlovia

Common Name Purlovia
Species Purlovia maxima
Time Late Permian
Diet Carnivore
Temperament Patient
Domestication
Tameable Yes
Rideable No

 

  • Wild: Purlovia Maxima perfectly embodies the element of surprise. Though Nanictidopids such as Purlovia were once thought to be herbivores, I discovered that this creature is, in fact, a patient hunter of the most clever sort.

  • Domesticated: Though Purlovia is ill-suited to the life of a mount, its usefulness in staging an ambush or as a village guardian cannot be understated. With a tamed pack of Purlovia, one could assemble a literal minefield of deadly claws and teeth. However, any ambushes using Purlovia must be planned well in advance, as it will refuse to hibernate if it senses any threat nearby.

  • Known Information: After burrowing beneath the jungle floor, Purlovia enters a state of hibernation, and can go extended periods without any food. When some unfortunate create eventually wanders by, Purlovia dramatically bursts forth from the ground, tearing into its prey with its large canines before the victim can react.

Drops

  • Raw Meat
  • Raw Prime Meat
  • Hide

PC Extinction Servers Wiped!

Hey Survivors!

The first month of our Extinction servers on PC has come to a close, ending with a giant meteor crashing down upon the Island and wiping everything out of existence. These Extinction servers are now wiped, and ready to go for another month.

If you like the idea of higher rates (harvesting, taming, etc) and starting fresh on a new server without alpha tribes, give these servers a try! You can find them in the Official servers list by searching for “extinction”.
