Do we have a GWJ tribe?
If you need something to do...
I just wanted to throw out there that I acquired an extra Xbox One and created an Ark server if anyone is interested. I'm planning to keep it up 24/7 and would love to get a good population going.
Gamertag: ServerArk
Server name: ServerArk 24 7If you have any issues connecting, just trying joining via GamerTag or message me.
hi
Is this still live?
I got the game before the weekend and I want to settle on a server/tribe before I invest too much time.
Well, that's interesting:
Thanks for the server, Elycion! I enjoyed the short time I spent there.
Yes, thank you!
I appreciate you fronting that.
Yep, thanks for running the server!
Thanks for running the server! I owe you a noogie!
I spent a good 40 hours on that server, feeling inadequate at all that Warhound and Deftly had achieved
I didn't realize you were paying for it! Thank you for doing that, it was a lot of fun.
I would like to add my thanks to Elycion and danaere for the server. It was a lot of fun!
Same here guys, thanks!
Really appreciate the time and effort spent on the server, Elycion. While Rowyn and I have drifted off, I don't regret the 900+ hours (wow, Steam, 900? Really? So much time spent taming).
Interesting news article:
Thanks for hosting a great server Elycion. 912 hours and still playing. I'd love to take over the server and will contact you via pm.
So interesting note Ark just released a free DLC yesterday with a completely new map. I have not played it but also did not hear anything about it before I randomly came across it.
Been tracking the official release of The Center map for a while. Actually had a private server running slightly tweaked vanilla ark with some Co-workers for a while now, we're talking about doing a server reset and running The Center. Anyone interested in joining?
It's going to be password locked with gather rates and taming sped up. Debating adding stacking mod and stargate mod as well.
If there's interest I'll pm server name and password to people.
I'd be game.
Has the game's performance improved in any way in recent months? It was just brutal the last time I played it for any length.
Supposedly The Center map is actually optimized better than the vanilla map. Have not actually tried it yet though, just what i heard.
Watching Lathland's let play for the new map, he seems to be running into optimization issues, still.
But, you can pick up dodos and carry them around. This is a game-changer.
I'm going to play around with getting a test run this weekend, see if I can get the mods running. Any requests? I want to keep it as close to vanilla as possible, but there are tweaks I don't mind doing to improve the experience. No fog comes to mind.

Maybe some stacking Mods, some of the vanilla stack limits a too low.

Yeah, Stacking is one I'm going to add. Was trying to get it working on the previous server, but didn't really have time or energy to follow through. It was kind of an afterthought and we had been playing for a while before trying to add it, so maybe with a fresh start it will be easier to get running.
As for the optimization issue: ARK is not, and I believe never will be, optimized in the manner you expect from a AAA title running on the Unreal engine.
No, but when the game makes ARMA look like that AAA Unreal Engine game in comparison, that's a problem.
It's not the CPU or memory requirements that are so hard to understand, but rather how unbelievably poorly the visual performance scales down to less than top-end GPUs.
Would you guys be interested in coordinating a time/date grand opening and recording then uploading to YouTube, then linking here or something?
I watch a lot (a lot) of ark videos and it seems like it would be fun to do something like that as a group. I really don't have any experience recording gameplay videos, though some buddies of mine do it a good bit, and I could hot them up for advice. I imagine it can be a real pain in the butt.
