What games do you play?

Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forums! You play tons of games that the community also does! That’s exciting, hope you meet lots of new friends! 

If you need any help with ark stuff or are maybe interested in the wow guild hit me up!

Just a notice to players that the Scorched Earth Server is going to be closed down in 2 weeks time. May 19th We will Shut down the Scorched earth Server and any player bodies, Dino's or content on it will be erased. Please take these two weeks to play it if you want to, but be sure to leave nothing there or you will lose it! 

Why are you doing this?  - No one plays the server, and we will be replacing this server with a new one in the near future (details coming soon)

What about the Pheonix? - Unfortunately there wont be a way to get the Pheonix on our hive anymore, though this does kind of suck, it's just the way its going to be. If a person really wants a phoenix we will continue to sell them on our ARK store.  Please consider donating as it keeps our servers up and running. https://www.adkgamers.com/store/category/28-ark-survival-donor-packs/

If you require and assitance in clearing out of the map, ARK staff would be happy to help you, just reach out to us in discord. Any other questions please post here or message a staff in discord.

Well its become apparent that our cluster is a bunch of crazy hoarders. I'm ok with this... in fact, I would like to enable this more... 

We want to put the in game events on our server MORE!  How this is going to work. We are going to put a new event on our servers every two weeks, and its going to last a week. We are going to try and have the players VOTE for which event they want on the servers for that given week.

So Week one we are going to vote, the following tuesday I will put that event on the server (Active wednesday morning restart). It will stay on the server till the following tuesday when I turn it off (again will disappear wednesday morning restart), at that time i will also put up a vote for the next week, players will vote and we start all over again.

Easter - Green, Magenta, Yellow, and Blue.

Arkaeology - White, Yellow, Grey, and Black

Extinction Cronicles -  1. Purple, Black, Grey, Dark Blue 2. Red, Black, White, Grey 3. Green Black 4. Black, Red, Green, Purple, White

• Really not sure how this event will react when added... which set of colors or if all are added... this was a week to week event but only one event code for adding to server so we will see? 

Winter Wonderland -  Red White Green (It doesn't list the colors in the wiki but I'm pretty sure it was just red white and green).

Valentines - Red, Pink, and White

Unfortunately at this time Halloween is not possible. Last year is when wildcard started re-coding the events to be launch-able by server owners. Due to extinction release in 2018 they decided to skip the Halloween event and thus did not release a coded version for server owners to add. 

VOTE FOR THE EVENT YOU WANT TO SEE ON THE SERVER FOR MAY 14

Glad your enjoying the community! Welcome to the forums!

For those of you who could not afford the lump sum of the pirate ship with the 6 month sub that ended coincidentally 6 months ago, its now available on then store!

This mount is $32.00 CAD

This is good news for the mount collectors out there. For me personally its kind of a bummer considering how hard i farmed to buy the tokens for the 6 month sub. Granted the money was not wasted, I just thought I was getting a mount that would not be obtainable again.

Welcome to ADK! 

Here is the Voting Tally for March! Thank you to those who voted! Every vote counts and helps us bring in new players!

In April please vote for Olympus. Extinction, and Ragnarok. The more focused our voting is the more chances players will find our servers!

Remember over 45 votes will get you an ascendant saddle blue print in game and top 3 can get an ascendant TEK Saddle!

Most Recent Notes: March 21

All Servers:

• The Auto decay period for structures has been reduced on all servers EXCEPT Aberration, Extinction and Scorched Earth
  • Previously (Before extinction release) we didn't use auto decay, structures would become demolishable by players at a rate of two times default (Roughly 14 days for wood, and 21 days for stone) This allowed players to return with plenty of time to reclaim their structures if they had to be away. 
  • The release of extinction changed something and structures were no longer becoming demolish-able meaning that the only people on the server who could remove abandoned structures were admins. - As a fix I implemented the auto demolish timers at twice the rate of our decay timer (Meaning 28 days for wood and 42ish for stone)
  • Its become clear that this is not going to work for servers like Ragnarok, and the auto demolish timer is reduced to the original double rate we allowed before extinction patch broke the player allowed demolish.
  • This change will not be applicable to Aberration, Extinction and Scorched as these are servers that players are less likely to main, and set up as farming hubs that may not need to be visited as often (They are lower population servers anyways so there are less structures littered there)'
  • Fast decay of unsnapped core structures (Foundations and pillars) should now properly be enabled.  - I missed a check box, im a nub. Basically this means don't pillar or foundation spam.
• The server restart schedule is being changed to daily at 4:00 am CST
  • Wild Dino wipes will remain on restart - I know I told people that I was going to change it when I changed the server restart schedule, but it turns out that the 72 hour timer starts on server start, and were restarting every 24 hours, so a wild dino wipe would never happen. 
• Added RCON Shaming for people who wait for the 1 minute mark to log off for an update.
• Every time a dino wipe happens, the server will leave behind wild beehives, but kill all the tamable bees inside. Players were coming across instances of upwards of 65 beehives in a single spawn. Admins will be executing a command to removed the beehives hopefully once or twice a week, maybe less on the lower population servers. If you are having an issue on some of our lower population servers and would like the hives removed for you, please notify an admin in Discord.

Ragnarok:

• Dino spawns are back to normal after our attempts to correct some of the server lag
  • Reducing the dinosaur spawns to 50% did not have enough effect on the server to warrant changing
  • We hope that the above destruction of bee hives and the daily restarts will correct a lot of the issue.
• Added back the Multiple Unicorn allowed .ini option
  • This was something that slipped through the cracks when we swapped over to the new box last year
  • I would not hold my breath on this working however as a lot of people of the internet claims that it no longer works. If this is the case we may have to implement a rule disallowing unicorns to remain out unless breeding raising or using. =(

Olympus:

• Fixed the crafting cost of speed saddles so that players are not required to mind-wipe into full weight to craft the material needed to make the saddles
  • Reduced cost of special item, increased amount of special item required per saddle, overall cost has stayed pretty much the same.

NOTE: At time of posting some of the changes posted may only take effect as of next restart. Restarts are scheduled daily at 4:00 am CST

@Dakkon Thanks for the donation, were you not trying to purchase any packs with your donation?

Thanks again for voting this month folks. Its a huge help to the servers!  Light Green gets an ascendant saddle BP OR Single Tek Saddle, Dark green gets and ascendant saddle BP, orange gets a cautionary BP.

Yay! This is exciting

This new server will take place on OLYMPUS!!!

IP: 149.56.16.27:27033

We will launch the server TOMORROW (Sunday) Evening! See you then!

This server will have a separate mod list and will not be hived at this time. Should this server take off in popularity we will look at turning this mod set into a hive and cut down the smaller servers on the current hive. 

After a couple months if the mod list takes off we will hold a competition to pick a name for the mod series! 

MODS: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1650976759

ARK Additions: The Collection

Backpack

Builder's Helmet

Castles, Keeps, and Forts Medieval Architecture

Dino Storage V2

Dino Tracker

WBUI (Very much like our current MOTD ui but better)

Immersive Taming

Olympus

Platforms Plus

RP Visual Storage

Rare Sightings

Speed Saddles

StackMeMore

StructureSaver

Structures Plus

Tools Evolved

ECO: 

Garden Decor

Primordial Decor

RP Decor

Shoppe Decor

Stable Structures and Decore

ecoTrees

As you can see this mod list is very much oriented towards building and collecting. But with all the normal rates of the hive. We are looking forward to testing a few mods we have never seen before like a different utility mod as well as a replacement for the speed soup mod. We are also testing a few building quality of life type mods (Builder Helmet and Structure Saver) to see if these mods are something we would like on this server or not.

Having the event map open all the time would allow people to do battle when they want though.

I think the Event map would be great for our Gladiator events. It doesn't have to be open 24/7, but have PvP enabled on it so it's ready to go on event day.

We should have this one on standby along with our Dino remap server like Annunaki

Well you never said anything in the post about unhived. The map that I linked can be used on the hive for events ect as we have talked about previously. Just though i should throw it out there since we're on the subject of new maps and mods. @Feisty

 I think this would be a great thing to think about when we are planning events. Perhaps just open it up to turn on once a month for players to head out and try though I think there would have to be some ground rules if players are going to be transferring on to a tiny map where pvp is enabled and just open all the time like "consensual fights only" otherwise I think you will find that you will be the only person willing to go there when you have rex's like you've got.  =P

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=538986229&searchtext=annuki+genesis I think this mod or mods like this that add more dinos and or cooler or alpha dinos would be really fun because it adds a lot more into the game. You get to tame more dinos and it makes the game different, and less boring. I think the rates should be the same except for breeding. I think you should be able to breed dinos about twice a day or have smaller dinos be able to breed all the time, but more op and bigger dinos like rexes and gigas and late game dinos breed every day, like they do right now. But with other dinos like birds, they should be able to breed more often. Also it may be more interesting if you put the dino level higher, but im not sure on that. Also some building mods would be cool. Also, keep soul traps, thats the best mod.

It is unfortunately impossible to set breeding intervals of dinosaurs individually. Otherwise I would agree, that dinosaurs like rex's and giga's should be somewhere on the higher scale, where the pets we breed for fun could happen a lot faster. There might be a better option than our current for these new servers however. Would love to see an Annunaki server happen, thanks for the addition.

Talking about opening up a server with new mods. This map has no dino spawns or anything so maybe a little context on how this can work into a new unhived server?

ARK Staff want to put up another server with maybe a difference Niche of mods. 

Show me some mods you would like to see on a new server. Tell us what you like about the mod and other mods that might go along with it. If there any particular rates you guys would like to see differently to compliment your mods then you can let us know about that as well.

For Example, Annunaki Genesis is a really cool mod because it brings a lot of different game play to ARK. It has a bunch of new Dino's new, new mechanics and new items. This mod pairs really well with ARK Advance 10, the mods tend to compliment each other with the different game play. LINKS RELEVANT MODS

I’m sure they would as would most of our raiders! Happy to have you aboard and glad you finally made it to the forums. 

Glad you’re enjoying the guild! Welcome to the forums!
