Yeah, I managed to figure it out without breaking anything. I went through and updated the start up command to turn on the event on each server that didn’t have anyone on it at the moment.
One thing they added for the event was the tek rex. There is a 5% chance of a tek rex spawning instead of a regular rex. The first tek rex that spawned was a 150 male, which I promptly tamed. It took me a couple hours to get a lvl84 female tek rex to spawn.
Here is the happy couple, Megatron (on left) and Optimus Prime (right). They even redid the eggs, to a tek rex egg is an egg shaped red disco ball.
So, after some digging yesterday on the fix for rock drake eggs, I found a mod that seems to have worked flawlessly. Basically it finds eggs below the mesh and moves them up +200 vertically. Skrug was able to find 3 eggs last night and I picked up 1 this morning.
A few things mentioned in the article, the big guy at the end of the trailer, that is a mini-boss, A mini boss… and it’s tameable. Can you imagine what the end boss will be? Maybe as a joke Wildcard should make the end boss be a jerboa ike the rabbit from Quest for the Holy Grail.
Looks cool! Back on the surface but it’s continuing the technological ruins look. T-Rex is back! New new technological looking creatures. Allos are back. Some sort of interference with gear. Then the giant mini-boss.
Seriously a trollish mini-boss should be a thing. A giant dodo or compy, or perhaps a boss that forces everyone to fight sans dinos. I’d love a jerboa boss.
Skruggle, Grem, and myself killed the beta Manticore twice last night, which gave me enough element to get a start in the tek tier. But now I’m out of element so I’ll have to go fight some more bosses.
How does the Windows Store version compare? I’m interested in that only because of cross-platform play with the Xbox. Basically, I’m looking for any way of playing with friends on PCs with me using something else… but I’ll buy one of those new Intel NUCs if I have to (upcoming family trip, not much space, and no current PC laptop).
I’ve not done it, but that was the goal when the Windows Store version launched.
But my guess is that you have to use one of the servers designated for that cross-play, or one hosted from your Windows Store version, since they enforce the same ant-cheat system between them. As an example, our QT3 cluster has anti-cheat disabled.
Maybe someone here has more info, that’s all I know though, Michael.
And some more extended info: Steam users and Windows Store users cannot mix.
Steam= Steam only
PS4= PS4 only.
Xbox= Xbox and Windows store win10 Universal Windows platform only.
I have a Win10 computer running the dedicated Ark server from Win10 for my kids and I when we play. Requires jumping through a few hoops but works great.
Kyle,
Apologies, my browser just wigged out, I think I just sent you the details on the server multiple times in a row. My apologies if so. Since I had to restart, I just want to verify if you got the details. Please let me know if so.
Awesome! thank you so much. Now we won’t have to be locked to me running a server on my computer and being stuck to him by an invisible rope of only 300m lol. perfect
