Official servers getting difficulty set to 5

Post#1 » Fri Oct 07, 2016 12:31 pm

Hey guys,

I have just heard that official server diffculty value will be changed to 5 which means that all maps inclusive of SE will be seeing 150 max wild dinos.


Munki, would it be possible to change the difficulty level of playark to mirror officials?

From my understanding and from the information at http://ark.gamepedia.com/Difficulty

TheIsland server is currently at a difficultyOffset of 1.0 which equates to the difficulty value of 4.0 which makes the wild dino level a max of 120.
If the option comes available i will be raising it, but i havent seen any notes regarding the level increase?
i believe if i keept it at 1.0 it will increase the value to 5 when it comes available, per devs notes.

I found this on twitter https://twitter.com/arkjeremy/status/78 ... wsrc%5Etfw however I cant seem to find anything in the patch notes either. It says that its due on 07/10 (which would be tomorrow in the US).

So Officials are now seeing the 150's as promised.

It looks like there isnt a huge amount of info for server owners at this point. I found the below thread which may be useful to you Munki but its all jibberish to me.
