Due Feb 25th
I expect the server gods will be on it :byebye: Thanks in advance
So... who will be dipping a toe in the lava ?
Should we start from scratch ?
Any settings we could tweak to improve ?
I think we have the balance about right. It's not too easy and you need to put in work to get rewards.

I obviously cannot wait!
I always love the initial stress and high amount of dying in the early game as we set up the initial base of operations etc, and look forward to doing that as a group again,
Just post about server start times etc! I might have to leave work early :norty:
Can't wait to see the new content!
Sorry to say I will be joining in on this !! :D I am really looking forward to seeing this new world with you lot.
I think the I low level start is always the best and being able to work up to a decent level before being over the dinos and higher Characters. I am happy with what ever though since I know the amount of hours some of you lot have in this game
We're starting lvl 1. If we decide we want to migrate character over at a later date we can discuss but as before, there will need to be a minimum level reached before we allow that.
Yes the plan is that we'll set a day to launch this. It's going to depend on Whitey really to see when he can set up the server.
Then we'll all join at roughly the same time. We'll teleport everyone to the same spot and create a tribe then take it from there.
As previously mentioned, please try to resist looking at YouTube videos and the such to make it as interesting to explore as possible.

No one would do this would they??? :blink: :blink: :rolleyes: :flirty:
I'm sure there'll be plenty of deaths.... usually mine :doh:
Sounds awesome pen !
Looking forward to it too.:rolleyes:

These are best done organically. I know damned well some of you will look at videos to find base locations but I plan to be playing it totally blind. It's pretty obvious to tell when someone has peeked though so if you do prepare to be mocked mercilessly. ;-)
Looking forward to this, and as usual - it's always fun at start with everyone together. Not seen or read much on it apart from the new Dino's/creatures being implemented (based on the genesis release video) and ark forum posts about delays [emoji85].
As Jas says....pray the server gods are good to us and community server gods do us proud as normal [emoji8]

I've been looking forward to this for ages and Tuesday is looking good at the moment for a working from home day to get the server set up. Do we know what time it will be released?

Thanks Milli, It'll probably take 30-60 minutes to get the server updated and changed for the new map before it's ready to play.

So 7pm start, or half 7?
We'll officially make it 7.30pm or as close to after that time as we can.
I am sure people will just join the channel round that time and will wait patiently for it the be set up by the server gods. Will see you all at 7ish :D

That late? :narnar:
If it doesn't launch until 6 then yup.
I think it's also only fair that we launch at 7.30pmish to allow those that work time to get home and be online so we can all join together :thumbsup2:
Me and my boy will be on for this one.
im on 8 meg till fibre turns up to my house in lincs on Friday, i think ill be late.

If your not home and ready by 7pm then you need a new job :narnar:
I've got the Genesis thing also.
Man I'm glad to see the renewed interest and new comers, the bigger the group the more diverse the mating mutations... I mean, the more we die collectively, wait... The more fun we can have! That's it! :D :D :roflmao:

I'd love to join, but I have a lot on right now and don't have much gaming time so am afraid I will likely miss out on this one. Enjoy all!

So midnight tonight :blink:
from newsweek
[h=2]What time does ARK Genesis release on PS4, Xbox One and PC?[/h]Genesis will not follow the launch schedule of ARK's recent major updates and past DLC releases. Players can expect the upcoming expansion to go live February 25 at 7 p.m. EST. This release time was announced by Wildcard Monday evening.
and
[h=2]Are there Preloads?[/h]Because this is DLC and not a standalone game release, there presumably won't be preloads for ARK Genesis. Once its release time arrives, you'll be able to download the files at your leisure.

Basically it's all Milli's fault then.

I'll discuss with Whitey and we'll keep you posted...
Unless my timing (and counting) was wayyyyyy off, then they've changed it [emoji85], sorry guys [emoji23]

(Edit: I knew I was right and not going mad, please see Exhibit B [emoji23])(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200225/fdf2cceda4e67ba6d8208f206822e17e.jpg)
So here's the plan.....
We are going to officially launch Ark:Genesis at 6.00pm on Wednesday night (26th).
Everything will be in place and ready for that time. The whitelist is being migrated from previous maps. If you haven't played before then we'll need your steam ID.
-------------------
To get your steam ID:
Open up your Steam client and choose View, then click Settings
Choose Interface and check the box that reads, "Display Steam URL address when available"
Click OK
Now click on your Steam Profile Name and select View Profile
Your SteamID will be listed in the URL at the top left (it's the really long number at the end.)
--------------------
The map will include the settings from the previous maps and also include the Castles Mod which was popular on Valguero.
So, please join discord at 6.00pm or whenever you can and we'll explain where you need to spawn to hook up with us.

Thanks this sounds perfect ðŸ˜
Are you playing with Structures Plus?
Only asking out of interest. I ran it on a server I ran for Jasmine to play at home, and honestly it is a real game-changer. Absolutely massive quality of life improvements for any builders. Plays very nice with the game and the castles mod you have mentioned. Would strongly recommend it...
that would be a good edition, just checked videos out, Penster?
I have no problem with it looking at the features: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=731604991
Anyone got any thoughts against having it?
Otherwise it's up to Whitey as he's the one which needs to do the work on it.
Personally a fan of it and I know it adds huge value for the more building obsessed among us ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‰
Mod looks good It would be good to have some new things to build. Shame about the release time but am more then down for tomorrow night instead.
Will I need to download the castles mod and if so can i get a link to the correct one plox?

I've got the Structures Plus mod, which Castles mod are you talking about here Pen?
Dunno. Can't remember what Whitey called it.
You don't need to download anything. They will auto install when you launch the game if you don't have them.

Noice thanks man
And just in case it wasnt clear already, anything that develops and makes building easier is always a yes from me XD
This is the mod we use: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1814953878
Still the same resource costs? [emoji23][emoji85]

delayed again....
https://twitter.com/survivetheark/status/1232446285229092864
poss a couple of hours or so
Just so everyone is aware, and for those that have newly come to the game, the client update is 20GB for me, your sizes may vary slightly because it's Ark, but the trick is, Ark is NOTORIOUSLY slow at updating!
So make sure you get your downloads in early to avoid disappointment later this afternoon!
See you all at 6pm!
25 gig for me 4hours to go at 1 meg/s
That's the server all set up and working :D See you all at 6PM. Please join Discord (ARK-> PVE Voice) for help joining the server and clan.
Unfortunately we won't be using Structures plus, It has been broken by the update and the author says it will not be updated by him but it has been released as Open Source so hopefully someone will get it working at some point.
Thanks for checking Whitey.
We can always revisit it at a later stage if needed. In the interim, the Castles mod will give us much of what we need.
Thanks for setting it all up whitey ! See you all some time tonight
Abuse aside, I loved seeing you all online sweating out the first hour of a new generation of Ark together, it reminds me all over again just how much I love this community and the attitudes and personalities in it.}
Special welcome to Armitage's boy, who made me laugh my head off hearing him scream downstairs while being chased by things over Arm's mic :roflmao: Definitely a welcome addition to our Ark tribe!
Catch you online soon again, or never, who could say :rolleyes:
It was great fun... But feeling it today. logged off close to 2 am :(
Here with the very exciting first full trailer for none other than Genesis part 2!

Genesis part 2 has been delayed to May 26 2021...bets on further delays? í ¾í´"
I guess delays are inevitable with these guys, but I'm still looking forward to Part 2 and even better the whole of ARK2 whenever that gets released!
Starting to look forward to this
Its still on target for the 26th
Looks like we are back to a single large map and no flyers :norty:

On PC, the game is expected to go live at around 6:30 PST - that's 02:30 AM BST.
and so it begins (again) :norty:
It's really up to Whitey as and when he has the time to download and set this up. Basically, he's the one you need to sleep with to make it happen.
I'm not going to be playing this one. I'm pretty much Ark'ed out now.(he lies).

Don't you know these are family friendly forums, we don't want people reading such harsh words and lies about not wanting to play Ark or being "Ark'ed out" :roflmao: Like there is such a thing! :narnar:

I was expecting this to be released when I got up this morning :doh: So I did a bit of research.
Currently there are no states observing PST. They've all moved to PDT (daylight saving).
So if the game is being released at 18:30 PDT on June 2nd (I'm assuming the 6:30 in Jas's post is not am) then, because PDT is 8 hours
behind BST, that will be at 02:30 Thursday June 3rd for us ... I think :g:

[FONT="]We're currently working on an issue occurring on Steam/Epic platforms. We don't expect it will take long to resolve but I'm hesitant to give an ETA until we smoke test the next build. We'll keep you posted as to when we expect to launch Gen 2 on those platforms.
We're also aware that whilst the Playstation network has the update, there are some issues with instability for some players. We're working on resolving that as soon as possible.
Thanks for hanging in there.
