A new update has been released for ARK: Survival Ascended and introduces changes to its Lost Colony DLC. In particular, it focuses on tightening up several key areas of the DLC along with specific critical bug fixes. There are also general fixes that can affect various gameplay systems and stability improvements.
One of the changes are those for the Ruins of the Ascendant Cavern, Cavern of the Whispering Needle and Cavern of the Sapphire Cascades. In particular, the entrance of these caverns have been reduced in size. Previously, the entrances were very open and at the same time easily accessible. As such, the change is to not only improve PvP viability but also make them more defensible.
Equipment Traits
Players should be happy to know that 10 lower-tier Equipment Traits can be combined to create 1 of the next tier. The main reason for the change is that there were lower-tier traits that weren't particularly valuable on their own. With this change, it should allow players to build toward something more meaningful.
Global Milestones
The update also adds Repeatable Global Milestones after completing all standard Global Milestones. This should provide players an ongoing source of XP especially for those who have completed all Milestone progression. The XP rewards scale with player level to remain relevant at higher levels. In addition, a rotating selection of higher-tier Milestone tasks can now be completed repeatedly. By the way, completing a Repeatable Milestone while mounted also gives a portion of the XP to the ridden creature.
ARK: Survival Ascended recreates the ARK world from scratch with the use of the latest Unreal Engine 5 technology. Players are taken to a vibrant and enigmatic island that’s filled with hundreds of dinosaur species and other prehistoric creatures ready to be tamed and bred. The game invites players to form tribes, explore, craft, build, and ascend the food-chain in an all-new world waiting for their discovery.
ARK: Survival Ascended offers the ultimate survival experience as it invites players to design their own Survivor, tame dinosaurs, and unravel the true nature of The Island and worlds beyond. There are also quality of life enhancements that include a refreshed user interface, intelligent creature pathfinding, wild babies, new map system, updated tracking system, new structures, creatures, and much more.
