In many ways, ARK update 2.37 exists to stamp out some plosih-related issues that have cropped up over the past few weeks. Looking at the patch notes, it’s good to see that issues like holes, floating foliage and in-game volumes have been adjusted to proper specification. In that same vein, it probably didn’t help the PvP meta much to know some folks were able to build floating bases under the right conditions. The same goes for the mentions of “multiple exploits” and “turret soaking” too. ARK is at its least fun when cheers take advantage, so anything that encourages fair play is OK in our books. All that being said, though, ARK update 2.37 won’t drastically change the game as you know it.
That much is being left for the upcoming TLC 3 update, which is scheduled to release later this month. In a recent Community Crunch blog post, Studio Wildcard outlined the big changes ahead for the Woolly Mammoth and Stegosaurus. While the Stego will soon get multiple new backplate modes that increase its toughness depending on the conditions of battle, the Mammoth will be endowed with a few new attacks and an AoE stamina buff. A release date for that TLC update has yet to be revealed, which means you may be stuck with these boring bug fixes for a bit.
ARK: Survival Evolved is available now on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, Mac and Linux.
