    Maybe a banner or achievement skin over the name for the holidays, but the ability to change your name in game would allow people to get away with stuff they're not supposed to do and avoid being reported (since it takes so long to get a report taken care of at this time)

    Then they make name changing Like single use, just one time in 5-6 months, or once per  character, if they can make cooldown on mindwipe, is same for Character name

    Actually nerf the cryopods and rhynio is sucks, it would be better to be rollbacked like ase.

    you always nerf the things recovery is not possible degrees please rollback them such as managarmr, rhyniognatha

    in rhynio-> it is the one of the difficult and hardest tame, the abilities fine well not too much op, in pvp ways rhynio is used to catch a dino or a person and using creatures as a shield to make without taking damages to player, but the tek-turret damages if we don't use creature shield even with the resin armor. 

    in that ways to buff the resin armor is almost useless in pvp ways

    but in pve ways the rhynio is a important without exo-mek ....we can carry vaults, and stuffs to move our base, moving big sized creatures.

    if we carrythe things and creatures the moving speed is 50% lower?

    are you kidding me?

    It is slower than argy. making this creature useless

    In recent newses wildcard disapoointing peoples if you constantly do this, people will not buy asa.

    Summary -> roll back the rhynio and cryopods sincerely

    also in the past you said to nerf and

    Rafts are broken right now and you can't access beds on them- nothing to do with spawning near enemy foundations. 

    The event happened about 6 years ago now; and beds on rafts had worked perfectly for me up until that point. Even so, I can remember it very clearly. For example: If you want to get really specific, then it happened on one of the "new" A.S.E. servers shortly after they split A.S.E. into "new" and "legacy" servers; it happened on Official Ragnarok 65, where I was living under the huge waterfall in the narrow canyon at the beginning of the canyon biome after having been given permission to do so by the river tribe which "owned" the canyon biome. 

    I can't remember however, if I actually got a text like "Unable to respawn. Too close to enemy foundation", or if the bed icon was just greyed out on the respawn map like it would be if it was on a respawn cooldown timer. (which it wouldn't have been at the time as I hadn't used it in plenty long enough).

    What I do remember is that I asked Google what was going on, and it said that based upon others' experiments it appeared that you were unable to respawn from beds, and I think maybe also sleeping bags, that were too close to an unallied tribe's foundation. Or "enemy's" foundation. 

    Something which I confirmed with my own experiments at the time as I did in-fact manage to make it all the way back to my raft; after having built a second one. Because I was all; "What?! There's no structures near where my raft was parked!" But when I got back and checked around, it turned out that the entire bottom of the river was covered in stone foundations. Not by the river tribe I don't think; by some random tribe that had abandoned them; but I wasn't going to go through the effort of demolishing them all myself, or waiting for the long decay timer, just for someone else to place more later or I die somewhere else in a river that has the bottom covered. 

    See, I loved living on rafts in A.S.E. I did a ton with them. You can get an idea of this if you go into the creative forums here and read my Ark Journal Story from chapters 8-12. After wc killed my character on legacy by deciding to slowly wipe all those servers out, I had thought that Ragnarok (a fairly new map at the time) would be a new start on life for me cause it had lots of deep rivers where leedsichthys couldn't get into. So when I discovered this revelation, it ended up being the final straw for me on top of a very long and growing list of issues at that time; wc killing my lvl 100 original character of course being a big one of those issues.

    They plain just don't show up because the render is so small and once its out of render it "doesn't exist". Sometimes it does (maybe 1/10 times), but it is VERY unreliable. Rafts are basically pointless unless you already have another bed nearby or leave it in the shallow and use it as a trap only. 

     So you're telling me that rafts on official are even worse and more glitchy now than they were back when I gave up? Well, then that's just even more reason for me to not bother with any of wc's nonsense.
