In brute cave they form a wall of megs

It’s the gambling patch 😁

[pearl heath]

Good Evening!

[forest zinc]

Rumor is the megalodon spawns have increased so much that megalodon carcasses have been found in the Scorched Earth deserts.

[hexed aurora]

I go to Center to get Brute bc.... no thank you

[last cipher]

Will it be good or another exploit fixed

[silent plume]

Hi Jade how are you?

[spice elbow]

Brute cave is just something else now with how much megalodons there are

[woven smelt]

im psure its always been crazy in there

[sand vale]

they removing loot drops from the game !!!!!

[rapid hatch]

Update?

[fallen yoke]

if they don't do a patch notes its probably just backend stuff or steam itself correcting something by itself.

[woven smelt]

idk at least on ase

[stiff path]

It better be or wildcard will be sleeping with the fish and there will be blood in the water 😏

[sterile wren]

NOOoooo

[last cipher]

Not like this lol

[strange grove]

Servers go down as soon as I find a 34 point success rate pre tame helicoprion… and the devs won’t care less

[acoustic stirrup]

Wts this update FOR ?

[woven smelt]

although in the artifact room is probably bugged

[sand vale]

mystery

[fallen yoke]

we'll have to live off of gacha gambling now

[dusky kettle]

I need a gacha then 🤣

[late veldt]

Can we get a fix on wild dino's spawning inside enclosed structures? 🙁

[silent plume]

All I need is my OSDs 😁
Some wildlife documentary and I’m there for hours lol

[cerulean flint]

does anyone know how to fix the stuck on primalgamedata_bp when my friend is trying to join my non dedicated server

[carmine wadi]

So can purpleis breeding broke on any other servers?

[fallen yoke]

I've been using the drakelings. kinda crazy for loot lol.

[sterile wren]

can we get a fix on when you tp on a dino you get spawn screen lmao

[pearl heath]

Doing great!!!
You?

[acoustic stirrup]

Some exploit probably

[sand vale]

finaly

[night kayak]

Anybody from the center 421?

[trail ore]

anything but fixing the crash exploit for windows 10 ase

[serene breach]

@prisma jungle what about the megalab fix??

[hexed aurora]

Omg that happened to me yesterday and I freaked at first lol

[sand vale]

"Updated some missing translations in Japanese" the poor japonese players

[sterile wren]

seems they have it added to notes thats good

[last cipher]

In the patch notes it seems

[stiff path]

"Reduced"? Don't sound like it is fixed.

[undone drum]

Anyone else have an issue with Vacuum compartments? Got a bug where it doesn't close,lock, flood or anything you tell it to do😵‍💫

[thin musk]

I hope they fixed the sharl infested oceans

[hexed aurora]

Yeah I was just looking at that. 1st thing I saw lol

[last cipher]

Well do you want megs to spawn at all

[fallen yoke]

thats what "This is a work in progress" means

[stoic anchor]

boo Reduced Megalodon spawns. Mostly on the Island and only slightly on other maps. This is a work in progress. 🙁 that only made the ocean a pain to travel in :c

[sand vale]

"This is a work in progress"

[mighty holly]

Im on the island now experiencing it before they fix it lol

[silent plume]

I do my part, I farm up like 30 boxes from all the osd xp and she opens em all up 😁

[scarlet portal]

How about some decay? These Bob boats are killing us

[spiral sparrow]

Haha been an issue with over spawning since release. Nice they finally found time to (slightly) fix it 😄

[patent aspen]

and the decai?

[marble falcon]

i personally liked all the sharks spawning..

[mighty wave]

Read the patch notes. Said they are fixing it

[slender pelican]

i loved the super shark spawns.. killed 40 alphas just on the east coast on the island going up and down once

[sand vale]

still off

[fierce stag]

I love the boats

[marble falcon]

the ocean is laughable tbh lol not much in there wanting to eat you so that was entertaining lol

[patent aspen]

we need to rip some bases e.e

[hoary totem]

But I don't want it fixed fish meat is easier now to get than it was before

[silent plume]

I got a haircut, going to do some shopping after I finish eating my in-n-out

[wise peak]

Ye me and my wife get 30 each and then run them it's actually broken

[last cipher]

So does otter more fish meat but I almost die everytime now

[keen spear]

Astraeos Megs were definitely nuts

[woven smelt]

enable decay or add leeds to ragnarok

[scarlet portal]

I know, that was more complaining than asking

[sterile wren]

Fixed issue making it impossible to interact with underwater base structures.

[stiff path]

I saw that. They must be calling in Quint.

[sand vale]

why leeds in rag?

[proven otter]

Wait, was there previous warnings I missed about downtime?

[marble falcon]

ouch i havent had any issues on a mosa

[nocturne scaffold]

Honestly need to cut megladon spawns in half or more and replace those spawns with other water creatures

[last cipher]

Boats

[woven smelt]

so it kills the rafts eating tame cap

[undone drum]

Thanks man👍🏽

[chrome zealot]

@civic bison thanks to your server going down then you take down the servers I just lost my best tek suit and my best giga so thankyou very much

[open halo]

I was enjoying the meg spawns.. easy xp and meat farming 🫤

[scarlet portal]

Because without decay the 50 bob that join the servers every day, make a boat then leave and it's just stuck there forever

[last cipher]

I don't use a mosa but if you get surrounded you will probably die

[marble falcon]

they gave a 30 minute warning

[patent socket]

Hi

There was a 15 minute warning read next time

You haven't been to brute cave lol

Come kill the three alpha mega outside my base pls

[reef patio]

Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes WildCards (after responding to a ticket) to remove the pillars that completely surround me?

[serene breach]

What about the megalab issue @civic bison @prisma jungle @eternal dew

[cerulean flint]

is there a fix to primalgamedatabp not loading??

[slender pelican]

seriously, loved the island spawns, for the first time the ocean was content worth exploring

[patent aspen]

y el decai pa cuando?

[sand vale]

[muted seal]

Stop crying

[proven otter]

Or, you know, drink and watch secret level

[cerulean flint]

[hoary totem]

Agreed fish meat had become stupidly easy

[neon ruin]

@prisma jungle what about crashes when getting into personal inventory?

[prisma jungle]

#bug-reports I don't know anything about that

[wraith field]

but did y'all fix the mega lab? @prisma jungle ?

[fresh sandal]

• Isn't even sure if the spawns were fine
• "L update"

Crazy

[open halo]

Omw!

[patent aspen]

turn on decai

[spice dune]

Bro I've had 7 alpha spawn in render distance with 34 sharks (lost track) in a little alcove. Not even the ocean.

If they were ANYWHERE near as bad as island, then I feel bad for you lmao

[marble falcon]

depends if they find it worthy of removing.... they usually work thru them fast if they find it an issue

[sick magnet]

Secret level too good

[chilly onyx]

My base has been half eaten by megs😟

[patent aspen]

and then fix some bugs...

[last prism]

sorry

[raw shoal]

This is depressing

[drifting osprey]

can you also increase ammonite spawns on rag, bring back being able to fly up while holding gene scanner on maeguana?

[sand vale]

guessing u are on the aquatica version, switch to preaquatica, if u epic u screwed

[last cipher]

You'd think that would the first thing they'd do

[cerulean flint]

I have screenshots with a good 100+ megs on the island near herb island, bonkers, loved feeding them all to my mosa

the map don't matter the game version does, is it 360. or 358

[keen spear]

@spice dune I was just tryin to find tusos earlier and went through 3 100k Hp basilos before even finding one because of all the megs/astrals

[carmine cairn]

What issue

[raw shoal]

was about 1000 shark In the ocean on the island

[serene breach]

You cant babyfy or reset levels

[sand vale]

both of u switch to preaquatica beta

[hoary totem]

I actually feel the megaladon spawns were fine i didn't have to worry about fish meat for raising fish eater babies

[spice dune]

Yikes

[silent plume]

Level reset bug iirc

[formal hornet]

hey skittle some astra servers are crashing alot could u check on it

[sour meadow]

Im kinda attached to the sharks now

[slender pelican]

yes that was the best!

Well, in practical terms, I'm completely surrounded, I can't even expand my base

Glad to see Shark Week getting addressed, it's madness out there lol

My server crashed came back up then they took it down before I could find my stuff don't be a jerk

I like the over spawning of megs easy meat 😂😂

The meat farm was nice tho ngl

[stoic anchor]

ohhh, yeh i was gonna do that tomorrow to a carcha i messed up imprinting on lol thanks for the heads up

[raw shoal]

& no helicoprion over lvl 95 lol

[sand vale]

are u saying u will do it, cause if u on 360 u not on preaquatica beta

[late edge]

ever have Ark go to shit when your on the phone with your parents? too embarrased to tell them or show your stressing so try your hardest to carry a normal convo ps im in my 40s 🤣

[sour meadow]

That cave with 3 billion sharks if great way to keep tower running

[last cipher]

I've seen several over 95

[fresh sandal]

Mhm but what isn't your problem can still be a problem to many. To each their own on that regard

[stoic anchor]

tamed a 150 on the island xd guess that just unlicky

[serene breach]

Yeah no problem, but wildcard just wont fix the problem. They just have to look it up and see that lots of people already complained about it

[acoustic stirrup]

@prisma jungle whats about incubator? After finish incubation time and set for hatch the egg disappeared and no baby

[fallen yoke]

RNG. I've seen a 145 and 150.

[last cipher]

Highest on island I've seen so far is 135

[cerulean flint]

oh so you're telling me to swtcih to the pre aquatic beta version? and then try? how do i do that

[raw shoal]

Ill stay on the hunt then lol

[keen spear]

@ Rodrigo Maybe baby lvl was too high?

[sand vale]

u steam or epic

[proven otter]

My wife was happy along with me when I found my body bag, turns out even though 45 mins had passed since I died, no one had rendered area since.

[cerulean flint]

steam

[last cipher]

Swap to another map like center astreaos or rag

[stoic anchor]

but vs the megs, finding them will be fun lol seems to be like 40 megs : 1 heli xD

[sand vale]

right click ark, go to properties, go to betas, switch to preaquatica beta

[raw shoal]

Ill give that a crack

[fallen yoke]

there are quite a few reasons that can happen. especially on officials.

[cerulean flint]

got it, doing it now

[fallen yoke]

some aren't even bugs lol

[acoustic stirrup]

I hope the megalab is fix

[last cipher]

Not up yet

[proven otter]

People need to stop saying touch grass, hay-fever and bugs and wet in there

[fallen yoke]

too high of a level will just get deleted. could be tame capped (server itself has a cap, as well as each tribe)
or could have just lagged and it died immediately which doesn't leave a body.

[fringe wigeon]

Have they fixed reapers?

[rare bear]

@last cipher ok im fault

[sand vale]

wasn't on the patch notes so doubt it

[rare bear]

@last cipher ty

It's fine just give it a minute

No problem

[hoary totem]

True I got tusoteuthis that make any group of sharks think twice before attacking

[silent plume]

If you end up attempting, let me know if it does work 🙏

so many creatures need tlc way more than giga, sure giga is uggly, but it ain't uggly and useless

I ran XD

[weak river]

In all of this games history when have they ever fixed something within 24 hrs of it being reported. This game literally built a reputation at fixing just about everything late. You're shooting shots and hitting nothin rn bud

Just take it to smithy or whatever, it’ll say what it needs to repair

[sand vale]

he has said he is against the idea of the idea of his team's projects being made vanilla

[muted seal]

They added more sharks yes

[proven otter]

Maybe? Squish me?!

[hoary totem]

Yeah that's because of how op paleo dinos are

[stiff path]

right

[proven otter]

Heh

[final thunder]

Bronto, and titanosaurs both need a tlc more so then any other creature probably

[proven otter]

Anyone else Chali fans?

[sand vale]

they can be rebalnced, still not coming to base game, the makers don't want them to

[obsidian mason]

Also $ if it's paid

[sand vale]

titano is fine as a raid creature, bronto and diplo need it more

[atomic basalt]

Yeah I do love them. I keep them as guards. They throw rocks at random dinos 🤣

[lusty burrow]

@gleaming harness u can't read?

[proven otter]

Ooo I'm back in

[final thunder]

Personally I think titano needs a tlc and made breedable, I've always wanted to use one to make a moving city

[sand vale]

just make them able to consume beer and gain the same buff as the player, that's enough of a tlc

[hoary totem]

Rebalancing them would ruin the purpose of the paleo dinos to begin with

[rugged swift]

When are you guys going to fix the crashes on astraeos

[carmine wadi]

Anyone else's server not allowing breeding? I can hatch dinos just not breed.

[hoary totem]

Probably never that map will always have issues

[sterile wren]

soft dino cap on server

[sand vale]

is your astraeos with 100+ cloner 200+ dinos out and 4 massive bases per tribe with 40+ tribes crashing? what a suprise

[rough mica]

come on, 4GB update the day after a 18 GB one? pls think of the people with slow internet

[hoary totem]

100% facts

[sterile wren]

i bet eveyone that moved to astreos is regreting it now lmao

[obsidian trench]

Have they fixed the heli crashing servers yet?

[gleaming harness]

Nope

[sand vale]

but people will say WC is making sever crash or map is broken

[rancid charm]

@prisma jungle managarmar frost breath sound effect stop working can you fix it?

[sand vale]

let them suffer every day with that choice

[buoyant cliff]

that's the devs fault, not players

[hoary totem]

Well it is a little of both honestly

[undone hollow]

No tribe needs that many cloners tbh

[obsidian mason]

I don't think they ever cared lol. Evolved had a bunch of bloat with 500gb of spaghetti code

[sand vale]

if i push a car off a cliff after i put the hand break on is it the car company or the car designer fault

[hoary totem]

Everyone spitting facts today the max amount of cloners i ever had was 8 and even i felt that was a bit much

[gleaming harness]

The display numbers round up. It’ll say 350/350 but it’s actually 349.5/350

no need to be aggressive when asking for info

[sand vale]

the 500gb part is patching, what matters is your storage speed

[buoyant cliff]

structure cap on official is 5500... why would they allow 5500 structures in 1 area if the game can't handle it lmao

[last cipher]

Besides brute cave sharks seem ok

[sand vale]

it can, but if every area is at 5500 stability will take a hit

[timber totem]

Thank you @prisma jungle much less sharks on island! Phew

Egg Incubators have a placement limit, cloners don't 😆

[proven otter]

I'm having to restart my chali army stats from scratch

i dont think so, im seeing some of the biggest bases ive seen so far spread out on astraeos and each of these massive bases has a my base size build of cloners etc, these numbers arent needed at all fr

[last cipher]

There where like 30+ in mine WTH

[sand vale]

they need to add this

[buoyant cliff]

ur probably also on pve in an area 1/4 of the size of most official bases lol

yup its called the brute cave for a reason

[hoary totem]

That was me as well I just ended up burning though my building supplies knowing it was the end

[buoyant cliff]

when there's no limit on the number of tribe member u can have, people are going to build more and more to accommodate for the number of people

[bleak gale]

Let me know if you find out whether they’ve fixed it or not

[last cipher]

They where literally covering the entire floor

[sand vale]

rename it to sharknado cave

[hexed aurora]

You're also having an issue? I can't tell if it's server or me on why I can't get my survivor to show up in download

[mild berry]

even after the patch to "fix" the rocks an trees visually appearing in my base, theyre still here lol

[hoary totem]

Boooo I liked easy fish runs

[last cipher]

Maybe all of the megs all spawned in at one spot and it just seems like that

[sand vale]

try leaving render and returning to your base

[mild berry]

thats what i had to do before the patch. still the same

[buoyant cliff]

but the devs are more worried about fixing small things rather than big things that completely ruin someone's playing experience

1 base takes up like 6 map squares, splits into like 4-5 different areas and includes builds and drops all throughout the base, i got stuck inside their behemooth gates without even realising from a sppawn point and cruddy render distances, it shouldnt be allowed

[drowsy jetty]

is that official pve?? bc no one is building like that on pvp. never seen a base on pvp take up 6 squares lol

People will build like that when there's no fear of it being destroyed by someone else. 6 squares is bigger than ice cave itself

the problem with astraeos crashes is exclusively on official pve, cause the amount of dinos and structures from players is so much the sever can't handle

[somber horizon]

Hello people!

[sand vale]

hello

[pale isle]

Would be nice to get a fix for constantly losing explorer note/ tame checkmark progress every few updates 😅

[somber horizon]

How goes it

[buoyant cliff]

yea that'll happen with 0 fear of your stuff being destroyed by others. the devs would be better off to lower tame cap and structure limit on pve

[sand vale]

the usual complaining for complaing sake, it's ark

[quiet kernel]

official pve, astraeos o.c server, they built on the whole side of a mountain including the flats all around base leading right upto the water and have multiple pens for everything, multiple water pens, multiple breeding shops and stations, probably multiple bases for crafting and spawning too

[proven otter]

Green ob on my rag server has been pillared for a map square around

[sand vale]

got a bigger mop today?

[buoyant cliff]

it's pve, that's why they're comfortable doing that

[somber horizon]

I feel that, so im new to tbis discord stuff an iv been hunting for a generally peaceful server to run on...

[hexed aurora]

Ah sorry to hear that. Could you talk to the person who's renting the server ?

[proven otter]

Not much different pvp

[quartz cipher]

5 billion years to update files, F

[sand vale]

they push things to the limits and are supprise servers break

[late edge]

leave the tame cap make an uncryoed dino cap

[sand vale]

get faster storage

[still bloom]

How do yall find people to play ark with?

[quiet kernel]

still though, why cutoff a spawn point then lock everysingle gate, ran around that bish for 25 minutes before i said imma kms and spawn elsewhere

[bold heron]

I can try

[sand vale]

doesn't tame cap only count uncryoed dinos?

[livid shuttle]

Hi, I would like to ask about the Large Experiment Table.

It seems that I can’t use the shrink function on creatures while using this structure.
Is this a known bug, or is it intended behavior?

Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
Any official response or workaround would be appreciated. Thanks!

[sand vale]

u mean the megalab?

[buoyant cliff]

very much different on pvp. you'll never see someone on pvp have a base that is 6 squares of the map big and it be a land base, last more than a few days before someone fobs it and wipes it. maybe back it old ark before cryo pods were a thing, but not in ASA

[wise moss]

Mother trucker always breaks something

[livid shuttle]

YES

[sand vale]

it's broken

[cobalt ether]

This is why we need large tek ceilings

[livid shuttle]

We can only wait for the official fix. QQ

[eternal summit]

Alpha tribes on official pvp take the whole map

[buoyant cliff]

they take every cave and spam off the map

you'll never see a tribe built a super fat land base like what dude was explaining

[quiet kernel]

no... no we dont, a running base with cloners throughout should not be covered, let them run up the rss with turrets etc for theyre running up y gotdamn ping

[blissful willow]

Go on conquest

[boreal palm]

Go to single player, unlock all notes, save game data to cloud and download cloud save data whenever it gets corrupted

[buoyant cliff]

on pvp there's consequences for building land bases

[arctic crag]

anyway to stop the patching files ?

[still bloom]

Do yall prefer pve, pvp or singleplayer?

[sand vale]

don't they use tek behemot trapdoor or whayever it's called

[buoyant cliff]

😂😂😂 I wonder why you'd see land bases on conquest?? maybe because building in caves isn't allowed lmao

[quiet kernel]

jumping into pve from singleplayer here

[sand vale]

pvp on my private server just for my self

[blissful willow]

Yeah, if u wanna see land base go there lmao

[still bloom]

What

[late edge]

@sand vale imagine a boats only pve server, no land building. it would be glorious, no pillars lol

[sand vale]

i host a server for myself and set it to pvp to get the benifits from it

[buoyant cliff]

People just need to realize this game is going on 10 years old, the players are far passed building a 3x3 stone hut. people have been working on building designs for ages

[glass venture]

I'm playing on PS5. Whilst flying on the Wyvern, it forced a blackout three times. I couldn't quit the game without unplugging the PS5's power lead.

[wintry cargo]

Why can’t I find any helicoprion

[undone hollow]

Theyd still find a way.

[sand vale]

kill sharks

[wintry cargo]

I just been dino wiping

[livid shuttle]

Excuse me, has anyone noticed abnormal bees on the Astraeos map?
I found several beehives overlapping in the same spot, and attacking them causes severe server lag.

[sand vale]

they would spam rafts till the server hits tame cap

[quiet kernel]

yeah im all for upgrading to the 30x30 base but a 300x300 and still counting is a bit redic

[last cipher]

Ok I've looked at before and after images of brute cave it's definitely less but still a bit over spawning

[icy dagger]

@eternal dew Tyvm for fixing TP ❤️

[buoyant cliff]

yea but if it's allowed the players are going to do it, like I originally said, it's the devs faults for allowing such things to be made. unfortunately in your case they aren't breaking any rules so they're going to do it

[pale isle]

This doesnt do anything to restore the tame checkmarks on the dossiers sadly and any time i've done this all of my map coverage vanishes while the waypoints remain, so i have to fly around uncovering the map again -_-

[quiet kernel]

more open land inside there propert line of behemoth gates than what theyve built on still, its just a case of claiming real estate and i understand much wont change

[wooden edge]

Have they rolled servers back? I had a dino with 5 hours left to mature tonight, I logged on today, and its still 5 hours left

[buoyant cliff]

the most annoying thing you could do to people like that is place your own foundations outside of there's, since your on pve they won't be able to keep expanding

[thick furnace]

So is xbox ever getting the ability to download templates or did they just say screw us we've already got your money

[quiet kernel]

theyve got pillars down inside their gates , i was running around for like 25-30 mins when i first spawned in trying to build etc and couldnt find anywhere only to hit render distance and realise im in a gated community or so what it felt like

[undone hollow]

This happens to me a lot. If the server goes down and no one goes near your base to render it, it doesnt grow it seems.

[quiet kernel]

i just figured it was a random part of the map at first

[wintry cargo]

[buoyant cliff]

yea that's why I think pvp is much more enjoyable

[quiet kernel]

id think the same if i had the time to check up on base and do things throughout the week but my 1 go at pvp everytime i go to log in im wiped

[dire flax]

My friend is having a problem finding my undetected server and I can't use the invite button

[olive patio]

Hi, is there an admin on?
My friend in banned on this DC but don't know why lol, would like to see if there is a reason or a way to unbann him

[tranquil cipher]

Hi, can you guys give me like a top 10 list of all the best to get Barry gatherers for Ragnarok I know the Theri is number one but what are some other ones that I may not know I am next to Viking Bay

Berry*

I thought an igunadon would be a really good one even better then the trike but it’s actually mid as hell

[hexed aurora]

Personally I like the Rhino

[olive patio]

@tranquil cipher
Procoptodon moschop Megapitecus bear

[strange grove]

They messed up helicorpion spawn on astraeos 😃. 4 on the entire map and 3 were level 25

[tranquil cipher]

I have a trike an a moschops and a an iguanadon all of them are pretty OK when it comes to berries, but I need Barry gatherers so I can produce narcotics so I need lots of narco berries

[tranquil cipher]

Is the kangaroo in Viking bay or the forest? And is it hostile?

[sleek walrus]

@civic bison can u add back the overspawn of sharks please, it made the ocean feel alive instead of the dead sea

[tranquil cipher]

Oh and I meant to ask if I wear a ghillie suit in the redwood forest will it be less likely that a cat tackles me off of a tree or does it not make any difference at all and should I just ride a stegosaurus

[tranquil sierra]

We want the spawns to stay 😭

[tranquil cipher]

lol facts

[olive patio]

@tranquil cipher there are in desert/scorched area, it run away if you shot ut

@civic bison we don’t have all day

[feral cairn]

When do cluster servers.come out

[still bloom]

I have notifications off but this Fff server still manages to give me some

So I just took the Console roles off

[fallen yoke]

assuming you mean crossark. afaik, they have no plans for any of the old server types yet. probably much later

[cobalt ether]

Just give us large ceilings. All will be solved

[fallen yoke]

I love maewings/maeguana, I just flew to my base while looking at discord 😂
does auto-walk work on flyers haven't actually tried using it lol

[sage oar]

are official servers down to? my whole cluster is offline

[still bloom]

Anyone else frequently disconnecing after update? Never had this problem until recently, its so bad its effecting my whole console, but when i play a different game i have no problems, just ark

[plain pond]

Does anyone wanna go outside with me

[vital fog]

All my modded servers are down as well. They were working until they launched this patch

[plain pond]

Official servers are online

[fallen yoke]

whats this "outside" you speak of

[plain pond]

Dunno, I figured it might be nice to check it out

[sage oar]

yup thats what happened to my cluster. my players are freaken out! i hope it gets fixed soon

[vital fog]

Same. I had problems with it all day. Finally fixed it now this patch broke them again and they can’t start

[fallen yoke]

its been summer for months and I'm still not used to such late sunset times 😂

[sage oar]

yeah my rag went down this morning and now..... all the rest

[plain pond]

The sun's starting to set earlier here, I love when it sets later. I get so messed up after the time changes in november lol

[vital fog]

Exactly. My ragnarok was down all day and now my others went down. This is getting ridiculous

[sage oar]

why does it have to happen on the weekend! like this is a week day problem...

[drowsy geyser]

Was passing by to see if servers not updating was just a me-thing, got the answer pretty quickly.

[charred folio]

For once I was loving going into the water, could actually see life there and now gonna nuff it RIP

[vital fog]

Nope ours is doing it too. Won’t update or start up 🫣

[charred folio]

And again cater to the crybabies FML

[sage oar]

nothing worse then seeing all ur servers with red and yellow dots

[vital fog]

No one’s being crybabies. Just sucks the kinda money we pay for our servers and they go to heck when this happens. It’s a lot of work

[drowsy geyser]

Could always see them with green dots but not actually joinable!

[pale isle]

He says whilst actively crying

[charred folio]

Hell yeah I’m loving all these sharks in the water

[boreal palm]

So everything has to be checked for the achievement?

If so what about keeping 1 egg/embryo of all the applicable tames, getting the ones that take a special tame approach then hatching all the eggs/embryos?

[drowsy geyser]

The Megalodons were not going to reduce their spawn numbers without reducing the server numbers in response.

[charred folio]

For once there was life in the waters now getting nuffD

[pale isle]

Imprinting doesn't count afik =/

[charred folio]

If anything I would love to be fixed
Is the 40 pyros I have at the bottom of the map that’s been there for 4 months

1/5 mt tame cap seeing islands underpants

[rotund rover]

Wildcard always does this nitrado stops the update from unofficial servers so official can go first, then they play dumb and an hour later they turn on unofficial servers, We are stuck in reboot cycles until they give unofficial the ability to update

[gaunt sigil]

Make ark great again

[charred folio]

Trump don’t code bro

[pale isle]

'Reduced Megalodon spawns. Mostly on the Island and only slightly on other maps' unless you're playing the island i doubt it'll be that noticeable, the water caves on the island were just a joke

[fringe wigeon]

I was literally about to say that reaper looked to still be broken however, as I was looking away, she grabs me. I am now pregnant.

[potent rock]

Horaaay

You’re going to be a parent to a little alien

[pale isle]

Congratulations 👽

[potent rock]

[charred folio]

Yes I am island
Was nice to cap a drakeling xp in 20 mins RIP

[fringe wigeon]

Hooray, another mouth to feed🤣🫩

[fallen yoke]

you can just ignore minor updates until later

[drowsy geyser]

At least until the "easy" water cave had overspawning issues and 15 alpha Megalodons are chilling with 90 regular Megalodons, requiring a Thanos snap of the wild dinos.

[chrome shell]

you are all npcs

[potent rock]

I am indeed a non playable character

[fallen yoke]

the reason why is because nitrado is checking it for unofficial. official servers don't do the same checks.

[pale isle]

To each their own but a game is no longer fun to me when its that easy, a minor part of the game sure but still xD

[fringe wigeon]

I have you know I’m the main character😂

[fallen yoke]

sometimes updates just don't go at all to unofficials tho. has happened in the past.

[charred folio]

Agree

[rotund rover]

Nitrado turned off live support the moment you guys released the helicoprion update. We are all running without any support from anyone

[potent rock]

You have my moral support

[rotund rover]

Over 24 hours and they still aren't responding to normal tickets.

[wise moss]

@civic bison what’s taking so long

[last cipher]

Run swamp cave

[drowsy geyser]

It's those dang sharks chewing on the underwater network cables.

[empty wraith]

that one was so cool in so many ways 🙂

[last cipher]

On 2x swamp cave can give like 3-4 chests

[dire flax]

I wish they would fix the mesh problem too

[charred folio]

Just learned drakeling don’t consume ox while mounted
Brute next best thing

[wise moss]

U can use multiple draking to farm the hoard chest key faster

[last cipher]

Swamp cave is so much better and easier one megatherium clears it easy

[boreal palm]

When it pereonally used to mess up tames being born would prompt the dossier to show

[charred folio]

Thankx
My frnd
Trying

[last cipher]

With eels jellyfish and alphas brute cave is to big of a risk

Also the ugly fish can do bleed

[charred folio]

What makes it fun hahahaha
DC is what I don’t like n EW

[wise moss]

Just stay above them ugly fish won’t be a problem

[last cipher]

Fair enough if you want a challenge brute cave will do

[pale isle]

The achievement goes off of the checkmarks (not the dossier unlock) which show that you have tamed that creature, thats tied to the player save, ima just spawn and forcetame all the ones ive done so far, i was bored enough to make a list the last time this happened lmao

[charred folio]

Definitely gonna try pack bro
I usually ran EW but the risk of DC is >

[covert bluff]

ok, hear me out, tell me just one time they added something without messing with something else and create new bug, crash, disadvantage or way to kill players?

[vital fog]

I can’t think of one

[pale isle]

It's almost as if they should consider testing the game with the patch before releasing it xD

[last cipher]

They technically do but not very well

[burnt grail]

@civic bison

[covert bluff]

that is the point

[charred folio]

Not once my frnd
Its a part of the process
Do you code?

[elfin wyvern]

Can you disable a veilwyn companion while it's dead?

[pale isle]

lol yeah for 5 minutes xD

I get secondhand embarrassment for them, like this is their full time job 😳

[charred folio]

Right
Ok test time ….
5 mins later
Times up …release hahahahha

[last cipher]

In fairness they only have like 2 people who can do testing and how many players play ark we can find bugs way faster then them

[spice dune]

Did you ever manage to fix this?

[last cipher]

Still bad but I don't expect to much

[drowsy geyser]

There's also the general coding conundrum: "My code doesn't work, I don't know why. My code works, I don't know why."

[covert bluff]

no, i am done i had to start from 0 in the island 6 different times, I send them tickets I provided proofs I did all I can my stuff always got stolen, erased, magically disappeared, insta killed, dinos killed I can fill a library with all the events, if I am still here is for my tribe mate, he is always supportive and not giving up, it has to do with the fact I used to do code but i got to the point my knowledge was not enough and I got tired

[pale isle]

regardless it's their job lmao, they should be testing patches days before release which they definitely don't

[sweet night]

They dont test enough because their community gets angry so they are in tight deadline by hire -ups like if they delay a day people get pissed

Its a mix of multiple factors then testing things on this game would prob take an extra week

[last cipher]

Well Giving how small the wildcard team is not many people have the testing job

[sweet night]

Better to roll it out and test it on people 🤣

[pale isle]

How we would know about a delayed patch when they release it and the notes at the same time lol

[last cipher]

I'm playing devils advocate here XD

[pale isle]

Sounds like bad distribution and management of time and labour to me

[wintry cargo]

Do helicoprion even spawn in singleplayer

[drowsy geyser]

Never forget when original Extinction introduced the element veins and servers got irreversibly nuked of structures.

[last cipher]

Well thats snail games fault mostly

If you had snail games as your bosses you'd probably quit fast

[drowsy geyser]

There's a lot I could say about that but probably best I hold my tongue. lol

[last cipher]

Wildcard is like 40% the problem

[wintry cargo]

😼

I have yet to see a single wild one on any map

[drowsy geyser]

I wouldn't see why not, but you'd probably have to run a command to destroy the wild dinos if you had an active save.

[wintry cargo]

Yeah

[pale isle]

I get that but i don't even feel bad for WC having to deal with them anymore, shouldn't have got involved with them in the first place

[honest turret]

Way to go WC. Next to no helicoprion spawning on astraeos 👍

Awesome fix

[wintry cargo]

I just tried destroy wild dinos and then I spawned a helico in to try to get other ones to spawn and still nothing

[icy mulch]

Did the update corrupt anyone else’s game on ps5? Having to reinstall the game now

[last cipher]

Well they didn't quite have much of a choice in the matter due to the CEO screwing up and snail games being the only life line

[drowsy geyser]

Well, it takes a bit of time for dinos to repopulate after clearing them.

[last cipher]

I'd rather have this then no ark is what I'm saying

[frail copper]

Gotta love spending time raising things for them to starve while on a maeguana full of food

[last cipher]

They are aware but put a #bug-reports

Whats wrong with it?

[pale isle]

True but its getting boring xD i could laugh at them fucking everything up with each update but it's getting old now lol

[wintry cargo]

Yeah nah everything’s respawned and still no helicos

[last cipher]

More info the better

[wintry cargo]

Ts pmo

[rugged tapir]

The primary function is still fine. But, if you go to respec your dinos, or babyfy them - no dinos are found... no shards are found, either

[last cipher]

Got a take breaks every now and then and hop back in after a bit

[drowsy geyser]

Hmm, from where I don't really do SP stuff I can't say for sure then. I guess I could boot up a new map on mine to see if I can find any.

[pale isle]

Its the state of the game i find boring not the actual gameplay lol

[drowsy geyser]

I know even the modded version they were very rare.

[wintry cargo]

It’s all megalodons 😭

[last cipher]

Oh

[wintry cargo]

Please do

[last cipher]

Let's hope lost colony spices things up

[drowsy geyser]

I just hope that when Gen1 releases, a lot of the mission issues are fixed, especially ones which were literally unbeatable if you were solo. (Lava gauntlet for example)

[pale isle]

there's bugs from day 1 still in the game, yet they continue to add new creatures and release new maps, most of which are very far from polished, i dont have hgh hopes for any new releases anymore lol

[lavish elbow]

Lots of servers showing as “up” 0/70 in joinable

[rotund rover]

1 of mine finally updated, seeing if the other that was in a reboot loop since yesterday will

Might be a bit of a cascade thing since hundreds of servers are likely doing the same thing.

Like you redownload ark itself

have to first download the update files, then patch to actually apply them to your game

i done download but now neeed patching take too much time 💀

[last cipher]

Ah that's what that is

[high token]

Can be on console, the way steam does patching isnt great but ark hasnt made any effort to adapt to it.

[last cipher]

I play on Xbox so I don't do that

I just update and play

[median shore]

console doesn’t take nearly as long as far as i’m aware

[high token]

I can sympathise with how large of a game ark is and the complexity that comes with it but god learn to separate your files for patches.

[high token]

Ive had the occasional stupid long patch, but its def not consistent

[wispy lantern]

Or just play pc 😄

[high token]

Pc sucks too

[wispy lantern]

syfm 😭

[tidal crater]

good they fix meg spawn xD before update tons of meg spawn near my pool

[late edge]

☝️

[last cipher]

Personally the meg spawn in brute cave still seems bad

[median shore]

they just wanted to go for a swim with you

[high token]

Tame em

[late edge]

it will always be a console PORT

[high token]

I never saw that tho theyve always been grouped up thought that was a feature

[last cipher]

Console is easier to use mostly immediately but PC is better overall

[high token]

But i guess all of arks bugs are features tho

[tidal crater]

u guys knows what the best part when before update u could farm tons of teeth of meg 💀 i got like 140 teeth just from one fight

[last cipher]

Pc looks intimidating to new people where console looks simple but in the long run PC is more Worth it

[late edge]

easier how?

[wispy lantern]

or cryro your best underwater tame

[native matrix]

[last cipher]

To set up and buy it's cheaper and you don't have to do much work to set it up for people new to games while computers are a bit confusing if you are new

Well it's cheaper if you don't include the monthly gold or live thing PC is cheaper overall

PC is better overall but console looks easier so it's popular

[late edge]

somewhat, but now you can buy mini PCs more powerful and cheaper than a console and most have basic computer knoweledge

[late mica]

sick patch still cant babify stuff

[tidal crater]

for me i like playing on pc i feel comfy

[last cipher]

Yes but if you just look at the costs of pc and consoles consoles are usually cheaper and are mostly ready to go to new people console looks better but they aren't

[last cipher]

True PC is better but console has like a illusion of being better/easier

[late edge]

that was my point though there really isnt a cost barrier anymore between

[tidal crater]

consol is ready to play but u can't upgrade like pc

[late edge]

unless you want a crazy system

[last cipher]

Yes most people just want to play games and and not have to do a hassle of building or knowing what to buy people are mostly lazy and they see consoles as easy due to quick setups

[late edge]

you plug a pc in same as a console, windows is already installed just download steam, lets not pretend PC is rocket science compared to console lol

[valid lynx]

any1 know when Valguero realese??

30 september maybe?

[last cipher]

I'm not saying that, console just looks easier to most people but PC is better overall

[dawn lynx]

if i were to a play an ark suirvival evolve collection pack which should i try?

[last cipher]

If I could go back I'd probably just buy a PC but I thought consoles where simpler due to being Inexperienced

[fallen yoke]

its the look of PC.
you can have it as easy as console or as hard as you want. to people glancing at the two. they'll assume console is easier.

[last cipher]

Pc is better but console has a better PR team to say

[fallen yoke]

they absolutely were. especially with multiplayer. those days are just long gone.

[late edge]

yeah i get that, and its understandable, but your fooling yourself

[trim quiver]

anyone crashing on steam ark after update when opening inventory?

[last cipher]

Ive said multiple times that PC are better

[fallen yoke]

what map? not sure I get your question

[last cipher]

You aren't quite fooling yourself it's how it looks at first glance

[keen moat]

death of a baby dino in our cave base by helicoprion is diabolical

[late edge]

i apologize if you think im arguing with you, just trying to give you some perspective is all

[fallen yoke]

depends what you mean by better. both have pros and cons

[last cipher]

If you looked deeper PC would be better but at first glance console looks easier

[last cipher]

Yes pc are better overall for performance but console is more convenient

[dawn lynx]

havent play on any other map then the regular one

[fallen yoke]

looking deeper at PC is what pushes people to console. you have to know, you don't have to look deeper to use PC.

[raven wedge]

Any reason 6023 keeps restarting after update? 4th time and still getting connection lost

[fallen yoke]

depends entirely on the PC. you can have a bad PC or a good one.

[last cipher]

Yeah PCs look intimidating so people go for consoles

[keen moat]

or you can have a pc thats good just not quite good enough for ark ascened

[late edge]

its literally the same level of difficulty to use just different GUI

[dawn lynx]

oh i forgot to reply

[fallen yoke]

I have two. one that is worse then the one X by everything except ram and CPU.

[last cipher]

Modern console vs PC PC is better due to improved technology and is cheaper now

[last cipher]

Most people don't know what a GUI is

[fallen yoke]

all the maps are pretty good. I'd suggest just going through the story maps. (don't have to finish them obviously) just progress in them and transfer to others as you play.

[trim quiver]

doesn't matter whats better its what you perfer... and depending on the update, it varies which platform is better some updates wreck pc some updates wreck console but objectively you have more freedom on pc. stop arguing on the internet and just enjoy the game

[high token]

smash or pass helena

[last cipher]

I'm saying to someone with no experience whatsoever they see consoles are easier

Once you dig into it PC becomes the obvious choice

[fallen yoke]

unless you just like consoles lol

[late edge]

1 thats what the internet is for 2 who actually enjoys Ark? i thought it was an exercise in self hate

[half shard]

This is like the 7th server down today, what is happening?

[median shore]

do not dig into your pc

[high token]

ark

[last cipher]

True I just prefer consoles

[fallen yoke]

I will always play lego games on xbox 🤷 (or at least with controller, I own some on steam)

[umbral willow]

Consoles are for those who don’t want to troubleshoot PC issues lol

[high token]

SDYPC twin

[half shard]

Well yeah but now I gotta have every map redownload lol

[last cipher]

I just prefer controllers over mouse and keyboard

[keen moat]

building a pc is super intiminating but once you go through the process at least once most poeple would think its not so bad

[high token]

ouch, go ahead and jump.

clanker

[late edge]

can we have the consoles are technically PCs argument now? lol joking

[median shore]

idk what you just said but

[last cipher]

Exactly at first glance people grab the console once you look into it your like oh PC is better

[fallen yoke]

I think I've replaced almost every part of the PC now. still don't like going in there since I will always think I'm gonna break it lol

[soft ravine]

The one from the cutscene after extinction or the one in the trailer for lost colony

[high token]

Trailer for lost colony but with the voice from cutscene

[fallen yoke]

guess I've never actually done anything to the motherboard always just used a new case/PC

[last cipher]

Consoles you get it set it up and almost never touch it again unless you put a disc in or move it

[soft ravine]

Yeah I could work with that not if it was the other way around

[high token]

I was putting my xbox in the oven idk what your talkin abt

any console thats not PS5/new gen XBOX is useless

[late edge]

omg red ring fix?

[high token]

Absolutely gng

[last cipher]

You need to put it in a microwave I just turn on ark and go afk it turns into the oven

[high token]

Shit did not work

[kind crag]

Iv got an Xbox ps5 and an PC that I built to play games on sometimes the game works better on my PC other time they work better on my Xbox or ps5 I've also had an alien 👽 PC that just was crappy

[late edge]

did you run it wrapped in a towel first?

[keen moat]

I hate going in my pc myself but either way since I've technically built 3 now I don't really have to look anything up when swapping out parts like I did before, The only real thing I pay attention to is the cpu cooler and thats because it varies

[urban cedar]

Cover your controller in earwax

[high token]

Taking advantage of this patch and offlining everyone

[high token]

Ye it ended up never turning on again 😞

[umbral willow]

PCs are technically consoles

[silent kiln]

Is everyones server offline at the moment?

[late edge]

potato tomato

[silent kiln]

🤕

[half shard]

?

[late edge]

most other PC users would scoff that i use a controller anyways

[hardy iris]

I need this 😂

[wispy lantern]

As long as the thing your playing on is pc I guess....

[hardy iris]

Still getting use to keyboard after like two years XD

[umbral willow]

That’s why I never cared what people play on lol

Unless it’s a PS

[late edge]

its just not comfortable

[kind crag]

Sometimes it is much easier to use these

[late edge]

i use mouse for inventory when i want to

[keen moat]

Nothing wrong with controller on pc. I do it myself. Not becasue I can't properly usae K and M but becasue I work heavily with my hands and they hurt too much to use anything other than controller

[umbral willow]

Ugh Zhard here. Back to my workout

[keen venture]

i use a controller on PC for a lot of stuff dev never intended. just not ark, because it is horrifying

[silent basalt]

good nobody wants you here anyways

[hardy iris]

Haha yeah the typing XD

[keen venture]

meanwhile xbox controllers are stuck in the 1990s with no gyroscopes, rear buttons, or touchpads

[late edge]

its not bad on PVE, i could see it being an issue on PVP though

[hardy iris]

Wait can you use a controller and a keyboard for typing?

[keen moat]

Ark isn't so bad with controller. The only thing I don't like with it is managing crafting lmao. But my server had that covered with auto pull from dedies for crafting

[gray canopy]

i know my console friends really struggle on certain tames like manas

[late edge]

yeah K and M are still active

[keen venture]

it is pain. whistles, inventory management, even aiming gets funky without gyro due to how jumpy ark is

[silent basalt]

at least my thumbs don't bump into each other on an xbox controller

[keen venture]

..what are you using, a two-handed flight stick?

[silent basalt]

unless I'm doing something actively my hand is always on the sticks to move and adjust camera

[keen venture]

nongyroscopic heathens

[hardy iris]

Lmao

[late edge]

i use foot buttons too lol, one for W is clutch autopilot on long distance flights

[silent basalt]

racing wheel gamer?

[hardy iris]

I’m playing inzoi atm

My character keeps getting fat XD

[late edge]

nah the 8bitdo keyboard comes with these big programmable buttons

[slow onyx]

guess you need to make better life choices then 😛

[hardy iris]

XD apparently.. I’m saving to buy a treadmill

[late edge]

organic polymer contains GLP-1

[silent basalt]

ah I see

[hardy iris]

I put a little coffee in my sugar and creamer

[high token]

Lag so bad i cant even build

[hardy iris]

[silent basalt]

you prolly got this question already but will Astra resource spawn and explorer map be added to the wiki?

[high token]

Love 900 ping

[slow onyx]

once we ahve extraction for data yes it will

[late edge]

wi fi? other users on the network?

[high token]

No just Ark. House empty

Feel like its every update now atp

[fallen yoke]

I have 47 ping pretty high for something that is literally a foot away, connected through a cable 😂

[late edge]

i would try a router reset just to rule it out

couldt hurt

[high token]

Yeah im through wifi but same room, lag is ark side. R6S aint laggin tho so fuck asa

[rose tide]

how big is this update

[high token]

4gb, 8h of patching

[rose tide]

whyyyyyyyyyyy

[keen venture]

900 ping is definitely not just ark 🤔

[fallen yoke]

check where the server is hosted on battlemetrics

[late edge]

🫸 🫷

[limpid elm]

ok so has anyone noticed their stats on characters on private servers seem to be much higher then before the update?

[rose tide]

it could be games with poor code update things poorly

[keen venture]

rephrase that so it means something

[rose tide]

i will caveman it

bad rock = bad thing made of rock

[silent basalt]

how many things will be fixed? 🤏

[keen venture]

what

[rose tide]

/ \

[late edge]

how many things will be broken?

[high token]

Alot

[rose tide]

if something is made poorly it will effect all aspects of it not just some

[silent basalt]

can't show. character limit...

[fallen yoke]

its ping not anything like that. there is some effect from the server but not 900 or else it'd be way more common on unofficial.

[rose tide]

xD

[keen venture]

that.. is not how anything works, at all, and also has nothing to do with 900 ping being highly unusual

[hardy iris]

Omg if my zoi doesn’t stop changing my work 😂

[topaz harbor]

ping is always high due to both EOS and curseforge...even to the server in my basement

[keen venture]

EOS and curseforge have nothing to do with the netcode, though

[rose tide]

but it will raise ping 900 itself is really weird but high ping is also an ark thing not that high but depends on the area

[high token]

Ark has had the most rediculous ping since it came out, lag infested since the first thought of this game came to life.

[rose tide]

if they are in anterica then

[fallen yoke]

thats why I have 47 ping. but definitely not 900 😂
and I can disconnect from the internet and it doesn't change so its not actually outgoing connections after you join.

[rose tide]

or high traffic

[keen venture]

all EOS does is negotiate the initial login. curseforge installs mods, which does not happen during gameplay aside from cosmetics. in theory cosmetic download could tank your whole connection if you have shitty net.. which is why it gives you speed options

[high token]

Anyone have a good command list they use for pvp?

[rose tide]

aw

[keen venture]

ping naturally scales with server framerate and congestion, but over 200-300 would be really unusual

[rose tide]

wait really?

even for official servers?

[silent basalt]

also it doesn't matter how good the net code is if the entire server infrastructure is ran from a single toaster in someone's garage...

[keen venture]

yes? what do you think ping is 🤔

[high token]

You high? I went a month without going below 200 ping on official, before the whole ddos mess

[topaz harbor]

would give ya my ping...but still patching

[rose tide]

xD

[high token]

lmaooo

[rose tide]

same

[keen venture]

the server cant reply to messages faster than it's tickrate + any multiple tick delays from congested replication buffer shit ect ect

[rose tide]

or installing now

[topaz harbor]

sat down like 10 minutes ago

[keen venture]

obviously your own network's latency is added to the server conditions both ways

[rose tide]

wait but sersioly what is everyone ping on official servers

[rose tide]

what percent

[fallen yoke]

I just didn't install that new patch lol. not gonna worry about minor patches while playing.

[high token]

Yall get a choice???

[topaz harbor]

40

[rose tide]

faster then me

[fallen yoke]

unofficial especially self-host does get a choice lol

[topaz harbor]

only if already in game

[fallen yoke]

self-host you just don't update lol. its manual.
and for any device just don't close the game and no update.

[fallen yoke]

yeah but then it wouldn't be "while playing"

[high token]

Can agree with that if my latency on other games isnt 20-30 ping, ark is the ONLY game I've had ping issues on, whether thats clientside in steam or dev side who knows, but fuck ark so its their fault

[keen venture]

you can just run the game executable directly. cant play online, but no updates

[rose tide]

this one for fluffdragon especially

[fallen yoke]

does that work for ark?

[high token]

I get battleye popup when i try

[keen venture]

ASA. ASE just works perfectly with it, does not matter how you run it

[keen venture]

try not running the wrong executable 🤔

[fallen yoke]

nice. never tried.

[high token]

Boffum gave me the popup

[topaz harbor]

worked for ASE, not ASA, triggers steam updates

[keen venture]

peculiar

[late edge]

you should see if restarting everything changes anything

[ocean crypt]

why does everything i put in helicoprion say needs to be repaired first when its not damaged

[keen venture]

i have used it to ignore updates while testing mods many times

[high token]

If i turn my pc off im not sure it will turn back on, this 3060 has been getting railed

What fps yall getting on ark? Im running like 80 consistent

[late edge]

150 ish

[austere tartan]

Like 30-50 😭😭😭

[topaz harbor]

30-60 with a 6700 XT

[austere tartan]

I've gotten below one fps near one of the caves on the Center

[limpid elm]

not to self dont use a creature that inflicts torpor when taming dreadstallion lol

[austere tartan]

Tbf that was on Xbox One

[austere tartan]

Was that not a given 😭

[limpid elm]

didnt realize that after finishing the altar all the torp it got from each summon would effect the final product lol

used a runic halo wyvern to do the summoning

[fallen yoke]

80-90 I think. probably dips while moving around tho. just sitting in base

[silent basalt]

about 60 on med/high mix

[topaz harbor]

can get better if I start disabling things, but don''t usually
