Oh alright, thought it was just 1 additional map, mb.

While I am not against adding mods, this is another 1GB+ of mods. I'll keep this in mind while working on the expansion of the cluster, and test it to see what the impact on the servers potentially are.

Extinction would be cool. To be able to ascend, do drops, and get the materials (Trophies) required to craft some of the end-game SS structures. Get some of the dinos that we don't have. Managarmr etc.

I have implemented a first round of loot drop changes to Ragnarok. I am open to constructive feedback as I imagine this will be an on going process. At the moment I have balanced the drops around the minimum level you need to access them. There are 24 types of loot drops on Ragnarok, all of them contain at least 4 different item sets now.

I've found a tool for doing this online, I can take a proper look at it over the weekend

Could possibly push the idea to run community events/ group activites, for example we could do a dino show and tell, showing off your favourite or most shiny dino. could also do community builds in ark, for example back on another server we made a group villiage where everyone had a small house in a generalized area. promotes interaction and community outlook.

Hi all, I would like to gather feedback from everyone on what new maps they would like to see added to the cluster. I would prefer official maps, but if someone knows of a modded map that runs well please comment below so we can take a look! Thanks, Chris

hello

Custom loot drops have been implemented across the cluster except for Genesis 2 and Extinction as they have different systems for drops. I also need to do the cave/dungeon loot drops for all maps.

I've declined this for now, however I am open to coming back to this in the future if we are looking to expand the mod list

As many of us may feel the decor options in ark is lacking, and it makes sense being a pvp game at its core, However i personally love the idea of spicing up a build with pillars, catwalks, ladders and other parts to make the build feel less square, now with the introduction of mods Like eco's we can now futher enhance the inside and outside of builds with both decrotive and functional items to bring builds to life. With this i am suggesting we add some more of the eco's decor mods or mods of a similar caliber Below are two mods that i can reccomend that add not only more styles but also more food options to decorate our kitchens (Pizza) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2632699523 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1517403145

personally no, however there are certian scenario's to where it could be usefull

this looks good

Hello, my name is Marshmellow, some of you may know me from playing on the Ark cluster and some of you may know me from before Joining the JR Gaming community but to cover both grounds here is a little bit about me Firstly i am a gamer through and through, i have been playing games from the tender age of 4, starting off with games like Monsters attack (western release of Earth defence force), IL2 and other games back on my ps1. i truly met my calling for gaming was when i saw some minecraft videos in early 2010 and decided i would pick up a copy of the game in march 2010. since then i have been hooked on the game especially with the modding scene playing countless modpacks and mods with each one changing how you play and aproach things. More recently i have been playing destiny, a game i have been playing since the relase of the first game back in 2017 along with other titles like Ark, 7 days to die, Genshin impact, Fate grand order (genshin, fate and azur lane are the reason i have the nickname Gatcha queen) and finally a game that holds a special place in my heart, arma. Arma is a game i have played with countless people and have made many of friends in that game from the base operations, to modded content like days, exile and king of the hill. Last two points, the first is that i love reptiles and currently am the proud keeper of a leopard gecko called "The great god of old "O'l geck"". In the past i have also kept some snake's and even a millipiede at one point. and lastly i love anime, if it wasnt obvious by my game choice and profile picture i am an anime fan, reader of manga and buyer of light novels. So thats me, Little old marsh, if you ever see me in the discord feel free to reach out to me. who knows mabye the cake isn't a lie. P.S i make memes

All good, I've donated an entire server box so that we can expand the Ark cluster rather significantly

Extinction is on my list as a definite new map, as it has a lot to offer. Currently looking at Lost Island, Crystal Isles, Genesis 2 and Scorched Earth as possibilities on top of this. I think we all know a Wyvern with 150%+ movement speed is the best dino in the game

I have now implemented a weekly dino wipe on Thursday mornings approximately 10 minutes before restart

Daily dinowipe maybe on restart? To properly repopulate as there are so many different dinos with the mods, and easter things are still running around

I don't see any issues with overspawning. Let's work on a compromise here and decide on a day and time once per week to do a wipe. I'm thinking Thursday nights, as it gives enough time before the weekend where we are likely to have more players.

I just posted something and I ticked the box that said "hidden" to see what it does. I seem to not be able to see my own post now...? I expected it to hide it from other people, not myself lol

Apparently, I only have 2 posts

Hello

Who's Joe?

hi kori

I don't get time to write, but I thought that a few of the topics I will write here deserve a blog article instead of a quick forum post and it's not really JR News material. This could be a rant, this could be a wall of text, but hell, I hope this is an interesting read for people who take the time to read through it. I've been asked recently and for a few years, why keep JR running, why waste the money, why is it so important? I hope your sitting comfortably.... because this maybe a long post..... Money is material, I do need it, at this moment in time I seriously do need money, but if I gave up JR I'd save a ton of money but all my efforts would be for nothing. People spend thousands on their hobbies people restore and modify cars, invent new things, drink, smoke, collect unnecessary things and more. JR is that thing to me, I spend a lot on it yes but I don't do much else. While I spend a lot on it if we dig down there are many reasons why I keep JR running. This may sound weird to many of you but I keep JR running to keep a smile on peoples faces, gaming for many people is a great get away, so is the internet. I have a dark side, just like anyone else. I got bullied from a young age and when I mean bullied I mean bullied. I got hit, kicked, mentally abused and it has left a imprint in my head. People need a get away and I know for many users that use and have used the service over the past 11 or so years that this has been their getaway, their virtual home as it were. JR is named JR due to it's original name Jamie's Rebellion. The reason for the name? Well read the paragraph above. I was rebelling against everything that was happening to me at the time. Either way Jamie's Rebellion was my getaway, it was the one thing I could say was mine, JR has brought many challenges to the table and has helped me to grow the way I am now. I have learnt to code from JR, I have learnt to run servers, I have learn't how to listen to people, their problems and I have learnt to accept peoples opinions and work with them to make me and my site a better place. I always ask for feedback now as while JR is mine, I believe it's the communities as well. JR has also brought many relationships to the table. Without realising it there has been in the past members and staff getting together, some who actually live with each other. Not that I condone ever meeting up with anyone on JR or online due to reasons that are coming to light more and more in todays society it's been amazing to see actually relationships that have forged through JR. If JR was not here, would they have ever got together ? I don't know. JR also brings to light my creative side. I was never great at art in school in england (supposedly I can draw when I really want to), Though when you come to education I was never good in school, I was the guy who slept in every class towards the end of my school life because I was just giving up. But JR brought out something in me that really helped me to understand what I can do. Designing a website, making things work and bringing people together to get things to work, seems I'm half good at that. JR has also brought to me many friendships that I cherish, while I don't show it half the time I actually care so much about the staff here and the people that have helped me get to where I am today. JR at one stage got rather big (thanks minecraft), and if you look at the member count you will understand that it got big, Now unfortunately that huge memberbase doesn't have everyone active but I'm hoping that we can as a community bring more people to JR to help increase our popularity. Not that popularity is what I want from this experience, it's the fact that if we don't get more popular and get JR earning money itself I don't know how I will continue to afford to fund things. (I normally find a way though) Getting back on topic as I feel like as I write this things are just been thrown out, I'm not re-reading this because I want this a genuine piece from my brain. After over 11 years of time I ain't going anywhere, JR is staying, I want this to continue to help make people smile, to help people in need and I want to continue learning from this roller-coaster experience. To the previous members if you are reading this, why don't you join back and chat to me personally, I'd be really interested to find out what brought you originally to JR, what you enjoy here and to the new or current members. I'm a human being as you may have noticed. If you message me I will chat to you, if you are ever in need to ever speak to someone if you are down, message me. My mental health is getting better and if you noticed I said earlier in this post JR was a getaway. It's not so much a getaway for me now, it's a part of my life that I am glad to have in my heart. If you are ever suffering and you need help, remember JR is always there for you.

Custom car dashboard I've been working on. Uses a 7" touchscreen and a raspberry PI 3b+. The software behind it is Node.JS + Electron and interfaces with a cars OBD2 port for diagnostic information but right now im using dummy data because haven't quite got it working great atm. What you think of the UI, any suggestions?

I'll need convincing on this, what benefits would this bring? As I see it a dino wipe is likely to be more of inconvenience if you are tracking a Shiny dino over the restart period, or if you are planning on taming a dino after a restart. If you are unhappy with the quality of the dinos in your area you can always kill them. I do not see a legitimate reason for this either from a gameplay or technical perspective. The easter event has just ended what's the harm in finding some easter dodos to chase a chibi you want, or finding a dino with colours that would only be otherwise obtainable through breeding?
