Ark: Survival Evolved - Has the Leech Ruined Ark?
REMEMBER TO JOIN THE SHAFT! SUBSCRIBE TODAY!

Ark Survival Evolved Update 242 has introduced LEECHES! These giant, nasty, gross, things like to hang around in the rivers and will attach themselves to you if you're not paying attention. What's worse is they even give you the swamp fever disease. Swamp fever has got to be one of the most frustrating additions to the gamer and has created a new kind of biological warfare on the island. I've even seen people infect their dodos then throw the poor creature into an enemies pen, infecting all of the creatures! By the way the cure for swamp fever isn't easy to obtain either.

Here's the patch notes for those of you interested:

v242.0
Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed incorrect TheCenter dedicated server content. If you are hosting a dedicated server of TheCenter and people are having trouble connecting, please make sure you have this update. Thank you!
'ARK's Awesome Anniversary' 1-week Event: Get Ready to Make some Birthday Wishes for Limited Run Items!
New Creature: Diplodocus!
New Creature: Leech!
New Structure: Training Dummy. You can attack this dummy without fear of destroying it, and it will display floating Damage Per Second values so you can see how strong your Dino Army really is.
New Mechanic: Permanent Diseases & Cures (Player-Contagious Swamp Fever!!!!)
Tribe Groups Phase 2: Support for Limited Non-Admin Invites & Promotions/Demotions per Group! Also "Prevent Dino Unclaiming" checkbox, and other new per-Rank options.
Dragon Arena
Added option for PvE Servers to disable building around critical resource node regions
Added server option to override per-Item Crafting costs
Added server option to override the loot tables for each kind of supply crate
Added server option to limit number of members in Tribes. Default: no limit.
Added 'Follow Range' ( Low/Medium/Far) Setting Per Tamed Dino
Multi-Seat Saddles (Galli, Diplodocus, etc) Dinos now have an option to Enable Public Seating. Dino Taxi service, ahoy!!!
Servers can now optionally enable an "offline raiding prevention" mode which will make Dinos/Structures invincible if no owner is logged-in (indicated via the head whether the owner player/tribe is logged-in or not). Recommend that server owners utilize this with care, as it may have undesired side effects in a competitive environment. (e.g.: ?PreventOfflinePvP=true?PreventOfflinePvPInterval=60.0?PvPDinoDecay=true?PvPStructureDecay=true)
Added Alpha Mosasaurus (contains lots of Black Pearls)
Alpha creatures XP reduced by 45%
Auto-Turrets can no longer be built on Quetz/Sauro/Mosa/Plesi/Paracer platforms (Plant turrets can't be grown on them). Any existing turrets on such platforms will no longer fire. This is a server option of "?OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true". Otherwise they're now only allowed on Rafts and non-moving Bases.
Plant Turrets now consume Fertilizer per shot, and also will not shoot if no water is in the crop plot.
Approximate +100% increase to Saurupod and Paraceratherium respective Weight stats.
Breeding Mechanics Phase 2: Interactive Baby Raising
Optional RPG Stat Mode: Displays Floating In-World Damage Numbers for all Player-Related Damage Events.
Fixed issue where Quetz platform could create floating structures
