Quick Q&A

What is Ark?
A game where you hunt, tame and ride dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts. You also beat up your friends, make them kill themselves by eating poop and occasionally try to sacrifice them to the fire god.

What is it on?
PC and Xbone, PS4 has a version in the works but I don't think it will be releasing on that anytime soon. We don't have crossplay at the moment but it has been announced.

Why does it look like dogshit on the xbone free trial?
Because it's a terrible way to demonstrate it, slicing off a tiny 5gb portion of a 35gb game sacrificing frames and textures to show off mechanics isn't a great sales pitch tbh.
That being said it is an early access title and it's rough around the edges, but it's a great game and I've had more than my money's worth of fun on it so far. The xbone version is almost at content parity but lags behind for optimisation at the moment, it is getting better with each monthly patch though.

How much is it goyim?
£27.99 or $35.00 on the Xbone

The Server Details

The server will be going live as soon as possible, but estimated day will be sunday the 31st.

The server will be using the official mod 'Primitive Plus' which is due to release tomorrow, this adds a plethora of content to the game in a more authentic manner than the vanilla one in my opinion.

The vanilla game has electrical machines, fabricators, assault rifles and high-tech gear which I don't think really fits the game's feel, primitive plus is a content patch originating as a mod that adds a game setting that replaces the high-tech shite with a more indepth mid-tier tech game. It's about on par with medieval technology, but it's not a medieval overhaul mod (if that makes sense).

Details on how to access the server will be added as soon as I can provide them, but given that it is not set up yet I can't very well give you the access information.


Game Settings for those of you who wish to know (Subject to change)
The server will use default game settings apart from the following specified modifiers

Resource Modifiers
+ Harvest rates - 2x (You gain twice as much resource from harvesting as vanilla, this isn't actually a huge amount so don't worry about it being game breaking)
+ Respawn rates - 3x (Painfully slow in vanilla)

World Modifiers
Night time speed - 1.5x
Day time speed - 0.5x
(more daylight hours basically)

XP modifiers
- Kill XP - 4x
(So that bringing down a dangerous dino is actually rewarding instead of lol here's three beans my child)

Taming modifiers
Tame speed - 3x
(Unless you like sitting around for hours feeding berries to an unconscious blob of dino, going fast is advised)
K.O requirement - 1.1x (uncertain, gotta test this but I want to make knocking out a dino slightly less grindy than vanilla but so that it still provides a challenge)


We have a discord for the ark server, PM me or post ITT for an invite, it will be used to alert people when the server is going online and to plan uptime/downtime etc. XBL party chat will be used for actual gameplay.


I'll post screenshots and video clips of our progress and achievements in-game ITT and I encourage anyone playing on the server to do the same. xboxdvr.com is a pretty convenient way to do so but sadly you can't embed it afaik.

I've done the first live-test of the server and it works!

So currently it's just a matter of waiting for the primitive plus patch to release, hopefully in the next few hours and then the server will be going live.

So primitive plus has been delayed courtesy of QA on the Xbone, which means it'll probably be a week or two at best before that's out.

Updated the OP to include those currently playing on the server

New entries may or may not be hazed by way of pteranodon dropping.

I also need to adhere to the adage of 'imgur thine shit' because all the pics broke again
