Change Log Servers updated the latest ARK v313.49. Rules updated (see below) Lowered passive points interval from 1 hour to 30 minutes. Wild Dino wipe performed on all maps. Rule Changes OLD RULE 3.3 You are allowed to third party PvP engagements and raids as long as you are actively fighting against all involved tribes evenly and your tribe log proves this. If you are countering a raid - you are expected to complete the raid if you are successful in neutralizing the original attackers. If your tribe log is found to be overwhelmingly in favour of one tribe over another when 3rd partying - this will be considered teaming. NEW RULES 3.3 Open World third partying - You are allowed to third party open world encounters as long as you are actively fighting against all involved tribes evenly. If your tribe log is found to be overwhelmingly in favour of one tribe over another - this will be considered teaming. 3.4 Raids third partying - You are allowed to third party raids as long as you actively make a legitimate attempt to destroy the attackers and/or defenders evenly. You are required to attempt the raid yourself if you are successful in neutralizing the original attackers. Continuously sniping from afar - even if you are sniping all parties, without any actual attempt to destroy FOBs/Bases is forbidden. *Changes highlighted in bold Board Comments: We have decided to separate the third partying rule for open world pvp and raid pvp. This is to paint a clearer picture of what is and isn't allowed when it comes to these events and what is required of you/your tribe if you choose to third party. The majority is the same however we are now preventing any attempts of 3rd partying unless a physical attempt to destroy either the attacker's FOB or the defenders base is made. Continuously sniping from afar is without any legitimate attempts to push a FOB etc is also now a bannable offence. For any questions you have regarding our new rules, please feel free to question me (Hamilton#1930) in our discord. To view our full and updated rules page, please go here .

Congratulations to Rumborack#1386 who has won a £5 store voucher. This Week's Community Polls ShadowZ#9052 make beginners permanetly 10x Board Comments: Beginners is currently 5x (new rates), 10x (old rates). This is high enough. Overruled Cutsom#7463 Re-Enable no collision on dino gates, instead disable placing them while combat tagged. Board Comments: Collision on structures such as dino gates were added to counter the frowned upon meta of spamming structures inside an enemy dino causing them to become unfairly stuck and unable to move, sometimes even making them invulnerable . This change will remain as it has more pros than cons, you will just have to be more patient when trying to gate wild and enemy dinos, which remains possible. Just in a less BS way. Overruled Forest#6560 make mutton stack to 50 rather than 20 Board Comments: Mutton stacks to 1x on official, which means our stacks are 20x higher than vanilla. How is this not boosted enough? Overruled Vife_ch#1927 add a discord channel for reps only as ppl tend to use the trading one. Board Comments: Could be a good idea, however we will NOT enforce a rep channel if we were ever to do one, please bare this in mind before voting. Officially Polled Mason Drake#8261 add skins to shop like raptor skin helmet or Corrupted Skin crab skin etc there are a lot of cool skins that u cannnot get in ark will be cool to be able to buy them they are just some skins nothing to op. Board Comments: Don't think people will want everyone running around in skins, can sometimes be an extra pain when looting when you have to hover over an item to see what it actually is. Nice idea but probably won't happen, if anything we could maybe add more cosmetics to membership packages. But that will probably be it if we ever go down this route. Acknowledged Cutsom#7463 Show more stats on my mts such as metal hit, dinos tamed and other pve/base work stats Board Comments: Currently not possible to current plugin and game limitations. But a nice idea if it ever becomes a reality! Acknowledged DMORNINGSTAR#9501 make preservin , beerbarrels, renameable do you cant pull resources out of it when crafting Board Comments: Unable to do unless we add S+ versions of these structures, which we won't I'm afraid. Overruled ! Baller#8308 make the binos work on enemy baby dinos so its easier to mass breed Board Comments: Sadly, we cannot make an exception for new born babies, we're afraid this is not possible. The extra step of claiming and checking will still be required for now. Overruled If you don't see your suggestion that means it has failed the minimum requirements to feature in our weekly post. Suggestions Channel has been reset and ready for a new week of suggestions, please honor the suggestion blacklist and feel free to suggest & vote on any changes or features you would like to see added to MTS Ark.

Greetings Survivors! Last week we reached the incredible milestone of 40,000 Discord Members. Truly an amazing achievement which we are all very proud as owners of this community to hit. To celebrate, we will be running an event over this weekend. You can find full details below; 40,000 SERVER EVENT EVENT DETAILS This weekend, starting Saturday 26th Sept @ 10pm BST we will be opening our EVENT SERVER. The event server will be hived onto the current main cluster where players can transfer characters, items and dinos to and from the server during the event which will run until the end of the weekend. The Lava Golems will be reset on Sunday at 8pm BST for the event to be replayed the following day. There will be no WHITELIST, membership or content creator advantage during the event and once the server reaches maximum capacity (80) no more players will be able to join until a slot is freed up. Please ensure you do not leave any items, dinos or characters on the event server at the conclusion of the event. Do not build any permanent structures on this map and ensure all your tribes belongings are picked up and migrated off the server before the event ends! Anything left on the map after the event concludes will be lost. Keep an eye on the Extinction Timer on the respawn/character screen to see when the server will close. Event is completely voluntary and players can choose not to take part if they wish. EVENT OBJECTIVE At several key locations on the map, there will be huge cages containing 3-5 Lava Golems each. These cages will be present at all Obelisks, Carno Island, Herbi Island & Iceberg on The Island map. Surrounding each Cage will be a handful of small Turret Towers/FOBs which players can attempt to drop to gain access to the trapped Lava Golems, leaving them exposed to whatever tribes manage to kill them and be rewarded with the loot they drop. Players will also earn double shop points during their time on the event server, regular players will earn 100 points and Members will earn 300 points per interval. And Point steal has been increased from 10% to 30% of a player's total points! Meaning you will now earn 30% of a player's total points amount when you killed them in PvP, and lose 30% of your total points when you die in PvP. The event server will follow all typical MTS server rules and will be enforced as normal. Admins will be present at the event to maintain fair play. So tribe up, prepare a FOB, ready your soakers and DPS dinos. And get ready for some intense PvP action for a chance at some awesome in-game rewards! Thank you for your continued loyalty and support.
