Yes, the emoji name is :sadbee:
Anyways what is everyone up to
Well, heading home from a small vacation. Gonna try and play some ark, might be packing a child dunno yet
Oh nice nice hope you enjoyed
I want to play some of the event lol
Val isn’t being nice for otters or just shoulder pets for me
Hi, any idea what i could do to get out of someones base i just spawned in? Build on spawn point ... i have some stuff on me that i dont wanna lose ...
I want aberrant otters
#reporting-players or ask them to open a door etc
Some ppl leave doors unlocked
Do you have important stuff on you?
Checked everything, Doors locked, trans locked like ... idiots man
People be like that so do what Otterly said ^^^
They are not on so asking wont do much and reporting might take weeks. I need my stuff lol
I even hate it when people block beaches, so many things we can all dislike n hate blah blah blah
If you can get a friend to come because you have important stuff, have them upload a whip and spawn naked. They can download the whip from ob, then you can drop your items one by one by a window or thin wall so they can whip it
And unfortunately not much one can do at the time because of important stuff
bro i can't find anyone to play PVE with and start a tribe anyone want to?
Well do you have an adult cryo on you ? Like a pyro or such.
I remember back in the day you could die by wall and get lucky to drag your corps trough wall
Put all your important stuff on that at least, but idk
Got a rock drake and bulbdog, been scoping out new aberration server cuz mine getting sunset
Is there a window to uncryo a tame through
No window
Best bet is to have someone come with a whip
Ahh, is there space to uncryo the drake? Cause I mean they built on spawn it’s their fault too. It’s also safer your stuff too
this is dumb my mods keep uninstalling so much and i have no idea why 🙁 anyone know any possible fix please anything ! 🙂 pc via xbox
Sure but putting stuff on drake wont do much. Uncryo meens if corpse metvod works my drake will be stuck in base anyway
I think it just some brand. But its a hit. People can smell it across the parking lot
Oh hey. A wild Uni
Well someone can drag your body off and take your stuff etc
Yesss it is I
Does any1 know when will transfers open for valguero
info friday
So far returning to Ark. Flipping broken, annoying, dumb game ... facepalm
Ahh okay thanks
Most likely soon
Do you have a friend that can come and help you?
Or maybe someone on the server?
Nope, not online
And about half dead anyway, no water
I mean, if they follow the two months schedule, maybe around december 7.
Probably a water spout in base
Nope
Then you should put everything on your drake and make a report
I hear that but that does no good for me now
Is every server like 5951 .. that kill characater when leave server and Lost inventory?
Well if you wait too long you are going to lose everything. The only other way I know is using a whip through a wall but no one is there to help you
Save video too
We have had ppl on our abb server always getting stuck in a base when they came to do a trade. We had to help them with their stuff even though we said spawn naked lol
Luckily that base is gone and we pillared it
I know how WC operates, it could take weeks for them to take care of it. I dont care that much about the stuff, lol. Been hopping servers for hours and this is the first issue. Game is played by alot dummies. Dont build on spawn or at least unlock the flipping transmitter or a door. facepalm
Anyone else getting unknown error trying to join server? Got kicked off mid meat run and already hard resetted
Yes but it will help the next person at least if they wipe the base
If they build in an area that you can spawn into, they should at least have a way out
Even a pin number on a sign inside the base for one door
I know but they don't. Respawned right now trying to get my corpse trough the wall.
Good luck
Drag body obstructed. They changed the way that works
Nope, harvested corpse. I get prompt with item cache but cant get it
Evening
I was able to move a body from inside my shop that way
Skill tree?
Huh?
Bop
Whatever that skill is to open bags from far away
Dont have dlc
Target
Uggg me either
Game is a joke, should've never even tried to come back to it ...
Atleast i left my bulbdog out and changed its name to "unlock trans or door".
Wish spawn points weren't buildable but I guess in pvp it would be too easy to find ppl
Again pve suffering because of pvp
Lol
Yeah
At least for pve there should be safe spawn points
WC joke company. They've been doing this for more then 10 years and still suck at it ...
Best worst game ever
real
Are you able to replace your drake?
what yapping about
Not sure, took one of my best ones. I'd have to look
Hi @keen venture
I could give you a good one if you cant
Egg
Yeah theres so many zones that shouldnt be buildable on pve.
who the heck even are you
Appreciate that but wouldnt be imprinted so ... 🫤
buy it now, it releases in two weeks
I've only been chatting in here for years
No an egg i meant
your name is some sort of shitpost and i dont remember anyone's account names
The respect just died
also i woke up about 4 hours too early and have been chugging tea all day while fighting shader compiler optimization
I might even take you up on that offer if you dont mind
Np. I will look to see where my breeders are and dm you
try coffee
try legal drugs
Well, never mind then. Sheesh.
there's no such thing as a legal drug
Do not give Fluff coffee, fair warning…
Dont feed him after midnight either.
Or ever, really.
@red glade Flawless!!!!
Ayyyye
i dm’d you my beach house pic!
it was all fine until the shitpost names started becoming metahumor
When I try and join val it says “you own the map, but it is not installed. Please install it.” It’s installed on the Xbox but won’t let me join , am I missing something?
Perfection
caffeine
Why the hell is it so hard to tame the Ossidon on pve? It cannot be done 100% Solo. I want one of the developers to hop onto an official server and show us how to do it since they think it's possible.
And now you got the beach one too
ThaNKS
not a drug
hey guys, for milestones what did u guys do for 10k rare resources?
organic poly on ab, some do angler on black pearl astraeos but i find aberration a million times easier.
i tried organic poly on rag and it didnt work and how did u get angler to work on black pearls?
Whatever dino you use for harvest, make sure to have a slot cap of very light resources (like fertilizer or paintbrush) it allows you to progress without ever having to empty ur inv @sleek walrus
do on ab, just transfer over, do the mission and leave
thanks ill try it on ab, anything is better than hand picking black pearls rn xD
on 2x u will be done in 2 minutes
look up on Google "is caffeine a drug"
so stepped away for alittle while and now im starting up again, but my gachas seem to refuse to eat plant species y traps, did something get changed?
If you have Astraeos, black pearls can be gotten from giant clams in the trenches using anglers
Ragnarok ocean also has BPs on the sea floor, as does The Center
Has anyone built the Maitland residence from "Beetlejuice" on official?
yh organic poly didnt work on ab, so ill try that angler on the clams thanks
So been trying for like an hour to play Ark and I keep crashing is this normal? Ragnarok pve servers
GL
Hmm, quiet tonight.
challenge?
by clams do u mean the small ones or the big ones that are usually on the side of walls
yh milestones, gotta get 10k rare resources
do sap on astros
Why is it when I try to transfer cosmetics, most of them go into the obelisk instead of uploading? Am I doing something wrong?
You have to click downloads and transfer one item at a time
I figured it out, I just double tap the "A" button on the cosmetic. Thank you for helping 😊
Grendel isn't supposed to cause bone break bleed during damage phase on alpha fight is he?
My girl and I tried to run a boss on rag today and we both crashed at the beginning
“Connection in progress. The client is currently trying to confirm a connection to mod services, please try again in a few seconds”
mine says cannot connect to server with mods, the client has failed to connect to mod services, putting the mod system into offline mode.
Dino-sized on the walls, NOT the giant city-sized ones
How ? Is threre something to farm in astreos?
How do we get people to look into the issue because I can’t do anything on this game rn
google it, theres a hill on astros whit bunch of trees that gives sap which is consider rare resource
use theri whit power harvest if not mistake
Anyone done alpha grendel recently?
Fibers usually super easy and quick during x2 esp
10ks in minutes
Or rare as in rarity?
yh rarity, only way ive found so far is black pearls which can only be picked up by hand
Wow that sucks, is that one BP spawn still on Rag?
There used to be a plentyful spawn in ASE, near S/W island spawn. Near that natural bridge where it extended into the water. Only other place I know outside of CI/Ab
still Hella slow 😕
yh the one on rag is what ive been farming, but its around 800 every hr haha, thats why i was trying to find a better way, but ill just suffer through this
Oh dear just awful.
The flowers supposedly dont count as rare / already tested I assume ?
Why is it everything I go to play this game it's broken 😕 I got no mods yet connection to mod services is failed
@civic bison any update when we can actually load into a fuckn server
Yeah, I just bought in to play with some old friends and it's down...of course...
Yeah personally im not giving this shit show on a company another cent on dlc maps etc games broken more then can actually play it.
yet ur still here, quit then. the game has been like this for over a decade and now u choose to speak up?
Why are the servers crashing and lagging so much these past few days?
dont have astreos?
@civic bison @median shore why no get perma skin for trough and cooking pot for thanksgiving event skins makes me said a noglin
green yapping
always fun how the weirdly specific projection/insecurity goes hand in hand with the weird insults that look like they crawled out of a 1980s midwest household

🦎
Oh good good sorry I went afk



Hiya
Hows ya
I survived
@hardy iris ??? sad noglin
Tagging everyone isn't going to help you.
Tired
Why Ark ASA people so non toxic it kinda weird
People it ase always talking about PvP and how cheeks the devs are
🤔 pvp yaps constantly, are you playing official lol
Relatable
Two of those are discord volunteers and not WC employees lol
Boop!
Boop back
How is you?
Was it worth the cold?
Oh its 4am so abit tired but fantastic you
Gross. Bed time or getting up? I'm pretty good
Yeah it was good. We ran completely out of coffee and cider, so we had nothing else to do so we went home lol
Picked these up at the market though
Bed time cuz my alarm rings in q hour lol
Sleep, I command you
Oh shit. That's a win! That bottom right one is amazing too
I cant
That ones my favourite
those are culturally confusing
....oh. That's sad but understandable. You got that caffeine?
canadian grab bag
Not yet
Anybody else not able to got on
The Mandalorian one was the most random lol
yeah I've got a new prompt that came up
We keep getting the "login failed unknown error"
Mine is saying "Cannot connect to server with mods. The client has failed to connect to mod services, putting the mod system into offline mode. " I'm on PvE Official. Still connected to the internet and everything
Damned rollback.... I just got in
Did the server crash? Unknown error poped up
It either crashed or it was a rollback
whats gonna come out first ark2 or gta6
Anyone know when transfer to Valguero is open
info friday
Before LC probably
Oof ok nice thx!
Rdr3
Before Dec 8
💀 💀 💀
Ark 3 with NPC's that tribe up against you and wipe your base/dinos if you make them mad.
Mind if I DM you an Ark screenshot real quick? I have a question for you.
Sure
Thank you.
so is it only val severs going down for maintenance?
Man, there are lots of turkeys on the center map
The Stockholm Syndrome is strong with this one
War Eagle!! 🦅
My fault
Hello!
Yo staff someone in #building-screenshots Id promoting the Mr beast scam XD
Wildcard when you plan to fix blurry map? I can't see anything for 6 months
Sounds like a problem on your end.
Are you talking about ASE, though? 'Cause if you're talking about ASE, Wildcard doesn't support ASE anymore.
asa..
My map is clean.
Okay, then yeah. Sounds like an issue on your end.
I don't know off the top of my head, but there may be some kind of widget/UI resolution thing you can mess with?
Could we please get higher quality shovels / shovel blueprints? @civic bison @twilit grotto
Sadly I just do the command every so often when my map get blurry. (I’m personally on asa)
Why are moschops so good I literally just killed a bronto with one
it is not a bug. the only way to "fix" it would be preloading the map and keeping that memory reserved all the time. the real fix is not running out of video memory
Does customer support look at tickets? I just died mid flight about to land my dreadmare on island and lost my stuff and my dread to a "world border" that shouldn't have existed in the first place
People say it takes a lot of fps
Considering general support is down, no. #reporting-players , #bug-reports , #server-reports , and #character-restoration are up though. If you can report it as a bug
if you mean forcing the game to use more memory than you physical have, yes, that ruins fps
the idea is you set your texture quality low enough that everything loads more evenly and you dont run out of memory
texture quality setting should really be locked and not changable by the user, at least on low end hardware
I have more than enough of memory. Does loading map takes like what 5GB or what
ASA needs about 10GB to work correctly on max graphics. what GPU do you have?
Does someone knows a PvP server that is wiping tomorrow? If you know one pls tell me
8gb or 16gb?
Asa has so much clutter high fps doing anything fast is a wish not reality
@civic bison These dev have got to know how bad astraeos is how come this isn’t being fixed . We crash 8x a day
8GB cant run high textures + other settings, not enough memory
8
worst noobtrap card of the last 5 hardware gens
Anyone else being kicked out every 10-15mins thanks to Query TimeOut only on Astraeos?
I left astraeos today because of the clone wars there
Man you're lifesaver. You are actually correct I was putting too high graphics. I tried all low, restarted, and I see the map thanks
I didnt know 8gb is a bit not enough
Anyone know when valg transfers open?
Before the expire servers are closed. We find out next crunch at the latest
Ty
Is there anyway to cheese boss fights still so I dont have to breed 19 rexs ?
Exactly
they were joking in game chat about turing on the cloners to get the game to reset cause they couldn’t find tames high enough level
about 15 min later the server crashed
and surprise, dinos reset
Only on singleplayer
Dam
Lordy lord I can’t even play the game for half a second before I crash not even exaggerating
It like lags a little at the start then crash
are alpha reapers spawns broken? or do i have to look harder?
Map? And how many mods?
broken for a whlie now
Ragnarok and 35
That might be why lol
@south crescent like they just dont spawn then?
Dang skin packs keep uninstalling themselves… annoying
Disable your mods and then try, sounds like you overloaded
How many mods should I have? @nocturne willow
Don’t have kids lol
feels like that. super rare now i think. one alpha in a week of looking
I have stacking mod plus structure mods so like everything I’ve done would be gone
Stacking mods are the devil
Fr?
It really depends on the mods themselves and what they are doing. Just try to slowly add them till you find out which one/combo is causing issues.
Is brachi in the base game now?
dude why cant i join anything
No
Guess I’ll be keeping those two
yeah
We need an Avatar mod in Ark. Or just an Avatar video game not made by Ubisoft
It's the danger of mods
What’s the issue with stacking mods?
you mean avatar elements blending or the other avatar with blue people

Why does literally every ark server ban the astrocetus
Kind of how aquatica made it so your survivor can be part fish
ah i see
probs cause it either causes lag or is just too big and ugly
i remember we got 1 mod have the dragon like from avatar
Because they lagg the shit out of servers
I remember the Monarky server spending their last season on evolved in some kind of moded map. It looked like it would do well for Avatar
Fuh this I’m unstalling and reinstalling the game
Then again there are a lot of talented map builders who would be thrilled to make pandora.
Just get a better console and Internet 😒
Not talking about Nekatus
Any tips on dealing with these stinkin arthopluera that break everything! Its easy to deal with a couple but when theres so many coming at you in caves what to do >.<
Kill them with fire
Kill them before they kill you
In other words you can do nothing about your armor and don’t use melee weapons
Wait if I have a lot of installed mods I don’t have activate can that cause crashes?
I do have a broken file
Is there a point to higher quality companion doggo BPs?
Any one one on pve able to do overseer
It would be nice and Crystal Isles does very much take elements from that but making a Pandora map is not exactly possible due to copyright. I am not sure how much modders can get away with making a map like that. You can however take elements like the floating mountains because they are not an original Avatar idea.
tbh ark 2 look like avatar map
bunch of floating island
I’m honestly kind of more interested in a map based on Mayan/Aztec themes with some Tepuis and big ancient ruins. I genuinely wish I had the hardware and software to make something like that tbh.

check premium mod may be there 1
wish they add coords back to map lol
it hard to tell my tribemate where to go
where do i find lfg chanel?
Oh do you not play sp?
I seeee. Idk why I thought you were sp lol
xD
i do want to play single but god dam have to redownload every single mod everytime i log in is pain

and i want to play with alot of vanilla creatures mod
Yeah, I've noticed my mods have been uninstalling lately

yeah back in ase it not like that well life is life
will probably like this until ark 2 come out
I'm a bit of a new player so with the missions u need to tame a stryder can it be the same mission over and over again?
I'm so tired of dc'ing and losing all my stuff
Anyone know anything about the Xbox roge ally
I love titanosaur spawns
just drops them out of the sky
it is a cruel and unusual piece of hardware that only exists because microsoft is trying to find a way to mercy kill xbox as a brand
Yea I’m having trouble with the Xbox controller working right on cloud gaming etc ark and other games
probably more the fault of the cloud gaming app, whichever it is
Some days it works great then it takes a crap and wants to act like a mouse
i was going to say..
it is probably seeing a virtual mouse/keyboard or something and defaulting to it
Yelp I tired disconnecting it update it same thing
having none of the input control software needed to make a PC operable with a controller is one of the ally's biggest issues
well, it does if you nuke windows and slap linux + steam on it, but at that point, why do you have an ally
Right trust me I was thinking about that
not sure if the "xbox" version is even flashable, though. it may be locked down
I mean, don’t get me wrong. It’s a great little handheld PC, but it’s not quite where it needs to be. Like wow runs good. Call of duty runs great but this controller issue is really what’s killing it.
does it work correctly for local software, or janky there as well?
For like local window software works great the problem gotta be on Microsoft end
For cloud gaming I’m going to try and download a Xbox game and see what happens
WoW should run perfectly fine locally. it does on the deck, which is way weaker
Yea wow is perfect so I don’t know where they went wrong with the cloud gaming
cloud gaming is sort of conceptually cursed
Yea I see that now lmao I should’ve just bought a game in PC lmao
input is all being read, passed to the server, and fed through some sort of virtual input device, and it is probably trying to be "smart" about it instead of just feeding 1:1 raw input
the only way it will be the future is if open PC platforms somehow cease to exist, because nobody is embracing streaming
it is a way to charge people more for less while keeping more control
Facts
I was like oh I could take it to work and hook it up to the big screen so I’m gonna buy it all I gotta do is bring my Xbox controller lmao aaaa nope like 3 days it worked fine don’t recommend it for anyone
🤔 probably seeing two controllers at once and having a stroke
the deck can itself act as a controller while streaming to another device, may be some way to do something similar
Yeah, after the same thing, and I disabled the internal and it’s only showing the external
So I don’t know straight trash
Lmao
at least it is a revision, so the wifi does not self-destruct like on the original ally
Give it time
Anyone from rag 6157 pve Valhalla? Tribe
love when terror birds come in to reset my taming progress on an archelon
ever heard of spike walls?
is that a good idea? wont the archelon just walk into them?
archelons are passive, you feed them bio toxin while they flipper around on the beach and the water
use gates, then
why must the 170 metal build piece always be the solution
metal? theres wood and stone gates
I only got interrupted once and lost 1% taming effectiveness, I dont think its worth the resource cost to save that next time
That's cheap
to me, a cheap trap is a dozen stone build pieces, for roughly ~600 stone and ~300 wood. Anything more than that is too expensive for me and I will take my chances
Why are all servers dead?
One metal trip with a good argy around any map will yield a solid two-three thousand ingots worth of ore.
And there's other methods that can yield even more, and are faster then an argy.
the what

I'd rather use that metal for other, more valuable things than a trap that i will only use once and then have to destroy afterwards. The only tames i ever use metal traps for are gigas, because its worth it and the trap is reusable because giga spawns are few and consolidated, and will consistently spawn in the same regions every time
Are you on ASE or ASA?
ASA
You can just...pick up the metal gates and reuse them for other tames then. You don't have to demolish them.
depends on server settings, same as ASE
Because when I enter my server it tells me that I don't have space on my PS5 to install mods
Permanent pickup is on by default.
again, depends on server settings. Some servers turn that off.
That said, my server allows that. I also just dont see much value in carrying metal or stone gates around. Most tames which are trapable can be trapped for way cheaper, using materials that can be found locally, allowing me to build the trap on site rather than having to carry it around.
why would you use metal to contain a nonaggresive creature
nothing breaks metal in the time it takes to tame, anyway
er, stone
usually when i see people talking about gates, its metal gates
Except a giga 
gates come in every tier except thatch
Yes, i just see people suggest metal gates most often so that was my assumption
Giga's can't even break stone
Wait, no. My bad
Oh yeah they do
extremely slowly
That's metal I'm thinking of that they can't break.
I learned that the hard way a long time ago lol
Still broken in less time than it takes to knock out lol
Im usually in favor of building traps for most tames. I only build the trap though if its a fatdog trap, his are cheap. Sometimes someone else will make a cheap trap too. As soon as I see gates in the trap though, i just decide to wing it instead
Fatdog never uses gates in his trap tutorials
hell, most of his traps dont even need any interaction, the tame just walks in and then its trapped
I don't even really make traps I just use the buggy terrain to my advantage
ah, but then most wild dinos will jam themselves into the cliff face, denying you headshots and making you spend more narcotic
Nope, I always make sure they face me for headshots
I can never seem to get that to work, for me they always just bury their face into the cliff. If i try to peak over the edge of the cliff too, i usually end up falling off
It really does depend on the map
Some maps are significantly better than others for doing that
which map do you find the most success in with this strategy?
Because when I enter my server it tells me that I don't have space on my PS5 to install mods??
Extinction
Extinction is just Yakima but with dinosaurs
Anyone wanna play
Yeah
No, sorry
Ok
is this missing context, or just bizarrely worded
Because
Might have some luck in #1110949794907684965
Asa has so much amazing potential
I just know that this ascendant mosasaur saddle i found is worth at least 8k metal in the grinder
Anything interesting happen while ive been gone.
this and "is X worth?" makes me want to trebuchet people from society for their own safety
can archelon eat meat or berries, or can it only eat biotoxin?
Biotoxin or superior kibble
only biotoxin to tame afaik
i mean after its tamed, just to keep it alive
Oh no it can eat meat or berries i think
It can
Berries
If you need to constantly collect biotoxin it would be annoying
can it still eat biotoxin after its tamed, or will that just give it torpor?
Id imagine it can..
It would be cool if biotoxin could be used as a speed heal for the archelon, kinda like meat for carnivores but slightly stronger
Like nameless venom for drakes?
I usually use honey to heal stuff
because its easier to get lots of
honey gives healing?
can it be used on both carnivores and herbivores?
Can someone help me with how to activate the dinosaur footprint visual effect?
❓
Achatina: 👁️ 👀
not sure if platstation has it
?
achatinas only eat veggie cake
ye
but thats easy, and they get so much food
plus thier food scales so well
easy? Its the second most expensive food, right behing kibble
"expensive"
the stimulant and fiber are the only thing you cant grow in base on mass
Honey isnt exactly the easiest or fastest thing to gather. Sure if you have a few bees and let them fill up, but if you're newer, thats not happening.
if u have an autumn drakeling u get a lot from the crates
Sap from redwoods (100 metal per tap, requires a good distance to travel to if you didnt base in the redwoods), giant bee which will take you 3 hour to find and another 15 mins to tame, and then several hours to get all the necessary honey, several crops which also take a good bit of time to grow, which also require an irrigation network and a dungbeetle farm to support
and if you dont want them to take forever to craft, you also need an industrial cooker which costs 1800 metal and some other resources
Compared to biotoxin which just requires you to jump in the water and shoot a jellyfish, it is quite expensive, yes
irrigation = 1 water tank
Astreos bee cave easy honey
=15 water tanks if you didnt base right next to a river or lake
and?
or, =150 pipes if playing ASE
litteraly a 1 time thing
and that is a little pricey and takes time to set up
Tbf, I'm thinking with all maps in mind. Especially for unofficial players, they dont always have access to all maps to hop for resources
Or one bobs res tank lol
Will Astraeos be the biggest map by the next map update?
it already is
Astreos is like 50% water lol

Okay sure. Most of these things are a one time thing to set up and have established. But thats a lot of things to set up. We are talking hours upon hours of labor to get all of this going. Veggie cake is not cheap, not compared to all of the other foods in the game
if veggie cake is cheap to you, then there is nothing in this game that could be considered expensive to you
its not hours
bob problems
no litteraly
git corn
110,000 bronto platform saddles 
why would you need that many bronto saddles
is this a pvp thing
fastest way to xp cap a character 
even faster than osd? XD
are you killing the brontos for exp? or crafting them
Usually you use snail farms after you are built up and have everything to make cakes on hand and just make paste until you are.
cake is extremely cheap, though 🤔 only mildly annoying part is you need bees. or you can just go collect honey and make a batch of a few hunded at a time
yes, that is second fast
but it takes on a 2x with broth 3,333~ rexs
i had the esitmate for the time but forgot it
I usually dont bother with crafting paste or farming it with snails if the map im playing on has castoroides
but 100 metal 😭
boblems
^^^
Im sorry i dont want to go on a metal run every 15 mins to support all if this metal consumption yall do lol
metal gates every where, behemoth gate this, 1000 bronto saddles that

crafting the saddles with notes and all xp buffs on a 2x
now 110k~ is for shared xp aka other people so like big tribes, if you are solo or duo its much much less
one metal run should be pulling in thousands
unknow error
it really takes that much to level up on officials?
all servers have the same xp to level up, what changes is thier xp *
xp to level up is configurable
ik, but noone dose it they just boost xp
a lot of servers actually do run custom level up curves or change the level cap
I only ever play SP or host my own private server, and I always boost the stats when I do. Official stats are so wild to me
never seen it b4
weird
no way am i gonna wait two whole ass weeks to raise a giga lmao, I always buff it so that it takes 30 mins tops
idk what * you are on, but if you are doing just the xp multi its still the saddles but OSD rexs are also really good and ofc cheap/free just take alot longer
Wasnt a good official level up method (could be talking out my ass) to grab a megatherium, explorer note and run swamp cave? Or is that the old fashion way or wtv
thats really old, and not good anymore
running brood mother would be better (brood is also good)
195 is 2.8~ billion xp
see what i do is I have breeding rates boosted on my server. Rexes can drop 1 fertilized egg each every 10 mins, so every time i need exp, i just go to my oviraptor, pull out 30 eggs, throw them on the acs and hatch them. Then i take a strong tame and kill them, and then i get all the exp i need for me and my tame
that old method stopped working good around 125
125?
babys dont give xp unless you turned it on
Its the only level up method i know of so 🤷♂️
the swamp cave thing
That or killing alphas but that kinda sucks
do that but with gamma brood and kill her minons, its way better
yeah your methods are ase beta ahh methods lol
Yeah probably.

Bob activity
ah, it worked on my SP save a little less than a year ago. i might have to find another option for my server
That said, im already lvl 98 and i havent even gone out of my way to do any leveling up, its just happened passively with crafting the things i need and killing stuff and whatnot. Personally i feel like this is the way it should be, having to craft 11000 saddles to level up instead of just playing the game is stupid lol
lvl 98 is nothing lol
Works for me 🤷♂️ now for MAXING a character its a different story
you dont have to craft, there are other ways but you have to go out of your way to level
?? its literally 7 levels away from the lvl cap without ascending?
Just do osd on ext , if it’s weekend 2x it’s pretty effective
the xp scaling ramps dude
98 is 1,368,538
Isnt max level 200 smth on asa now
195 rn
what do you even need those extra 25 levels for to get to 130? isnt there like one engram that high?
195, it will be around 250 tho
With all bob notes?
points
yes, 195
for stats?
Mjolnir was 190 if i remember right
on your character?
gonna be fucked lvling when all the maps are out
no it wont, same methods
xp scaling caps at 174

thankfully, lvl 235 is 4.9 bil ish
Gah damn
Naturally 105, 5 for max chibi, all explorer notes 10, Ascensions 15 each for Island, SE, Ab, Ext, and then BTT dlc 5 each for SE, Ab, Ext. Without DLC 180, with DLC 195
yeah 84,975,000 per level at that point
are we still talking survivor level? I thought the maximum possible with all ascensions from all maps is lvl 130?
where is this extra level cap coming from
your cooked bro
each map is +15
With what we have out rn
Will prob get to 300 at least later on
then with just gen1,2
is 225 lol
Should i preorder lost colony dlc ? My friend told me that we will be having five creatures and two weapons …. seems strange
what seems strange
195
its cheaper rn
Mjolnir was 195?
I see
no its around 250
what do you need those extra stats for though? just to achieve that level?
what flyer should i use on valguero? Pvp
yeah, then SE boosted max lvl to 205
then aqutica boosted max lvl to 220
the hammer was 190 my b nvm
Sup Flan!

or you want the engram points to get all engrams?
what do you think?
You just reminded me of the bobs true tales sheet
I dont know lol, I dont understand at all why anyone would go that far to get all of these levels
Tbh ill buy any DLC for ark just not the fantastic tame bs
"need" its just better to have 500+ hp, and still have all my other stats lol
Up too late as usual 🤣
Wbu?
its not that far, or hard tho lol
pvp problems
amount of creatures , weapons , i heard that there will be some structures …
pvp dosent run 500 hp and allother stats, you run either all hp or some and weight, or melee
Go to sleep or take something to help you sleep 
Im doin great, a little too cold outside but aside from that doin super 
and five tiers of armor
With the new 15 maps (two that we know of rn) at least 5 each map for the future dlc pass like BTT, and didn't Fjord also have added levels from runes?
just the one
11000 bronto saddles on official rates? how long does that even take, to gather all of the materials and then for all of the crafting
we dont know how many creatures that map will have
@prisma jungle look dm something you will need
Fjord isnt even confiremd yet, and where tf are you getting 15 maps from?
We might lowk get the Adobe alternative. Instead of for the heat its for the cold.
Am I crazy lol? Am I the only one in this server who doesnt want to make Ark their 9-5 job?
Yes.
it was +5
and i found evidance that might even support it not getting added
Good to hear! 
Yeah I'm gonna pour a night cap and go lay down.
not long, and its alot less when you do it on events
mind you, officals has hundrads of people working together
15 levels for the two maps that we know of rn. And it's not confirmed or denied last I saw
what two? we are getting LC and thats it lol
so you have hundreds of people helping you get to level 225?
@prisma jungle look dm quick
there was a post hinting at another dlc
195, and they get it to
and even then most the rescoures are afk farmed
how do you afk farm metal
like i said, solo its alot less saddles
tek babies?
"most"
Extra Life had another map hinted for later lol
thatch, hide?
you dont need thatch, hide is from sheep
I meant fiber, mb
theriz gather black boxes in seconds
how do you passively get hide from sheep
the pearls and paste are afk, fiber and hide are fast to gather
metal is the only slow one, but with even just 10 people you can get it in a day
we dont know everything that will be in it yet, or really much at all
like i said tho, if you are solo its ALOT LESS saddles
esspeically if you have any xp *
that old 4 creatures thing has def changed
The hard part isn’t unlocking the max level cap
It’s paying the $ to overcome the staggering exp req to get there
i accendintly gave myself gen1,2 and commutiy map notes
the forjdhawk is there, but dosent show up
bob issues
Probably have sheep breeding, drop the babies in a hole with aggressive theris and collect every once in a while
Idk
that is a method yeah
Really; I’d like to see your 225 1x official char
Im assuming theres better.
195 is cap 🤦♀️
Not for long
chainsaw

dosent change that it is now
Couldnt you just do the same thing minus the theris
When does the event go until?
Alright, where’s the 195 now? I’ll need to see the cap again when lc releases, and then gen1-2 and fjordur
do sheep yield more hide than other creatures?
you just raise babys, and chainsaw
why sheep specifically
Just have an unholy amount of sheep and chainsaw them all
yes
Pretty sure
thier health sclaes the amount of hide they give, i get around 130k per sheep
I guess the biproduct of mutton is nice
Fair enough.
its not
holy shit
like we said, fucking bob problems
its not? ahh I guess you would use kibble instead
howabout you listen to the people who know the game
the stack size is annoying when getting the hide
i wish i wouldnt get pelt or mutton
Is the bio grinder useful on official
no
No?
its not good
I suppose you could just get a little bit of hide, then split all to slot cap, and then just fill the rest in with more hide?
How does one even store that much hide
dedis
thats a way yeah
Yeah... i just realized that..
the student has become the master
yes you can grind into kibble, but its not good
You can grind creatures into KIBBLE? bobs tall tales is overpowered
they have 1800 slots
for hide its 180k
Ohh
they made everything in bobs tales horrifically broken so people buy it
traits alone are busted
Yet my robo butler just spins in circles...
"free" the traits are horrid to farm for lol
not free I guess. $30
pyromanes too they are the worst addition the game has ever had
mutations without the traits are 100x more horrid to farm for
I feel like thats more expansion pass
no they arent
When the valguero transfer open?
We find out next crunch. Before the expire servers close tho
Its dec first... 15 more days unless wc mess up again.
300f no traits, each generation is about a 50% chance to get a mut
300f with t1 traits, 97% 200f 90%
it really only saves female space
On my SP Island world, I have a mutated rex line with 20 dmg mutations and 10 health mutations. With stats boosted so hard that I can grow a rex in 20 minutes, get a rex egg from a rex every 7 minutes, and hatch a rex egg in 45 seconds, it took me an entire IRL week to build that mutation line.
That should not be okay for any video game lol
I was gonna ask if ur on PVE or P but what PVE player needs 11000 bronto plat saddles...
how many female
im both, its 110,000
pve people are better off doing osd imo
Oh..
idk like 10 or something. I suppose i could have had more, but still
there are only so many rexes you can fit into the breeding radius of your mutant male
thats the bare minimum, not the traits fault
I didnt have the trait
yyou can fit alot more than 10, rex radius is large
ik, its not the lack of trait that is causing ur lack of muts
Are dreads ass for OSDs ive heard theyre absolute trash for them
yes, use carcha
I shouldnt have to lol. Also getting much more than that would have diminishing returns, as they would start to lay the eggs faster than i can hatch them due to limited player weight capacity
bob problems
it also takes time to spread the eggs out
tek legs, oviraptor, turn off male mating
how would you do it
tek legs boost weight capacity?
use a ovi, hatch the eggs, raise the male
yes i was using oviraptor to collect
no, you can tek run while overweight
mfw i dont play to the statistical avg and then cry when it dosent hit
I guess i just hate farming lol
if u make incubator u dont even have to hatch the eggs
^^
i just relized, you are hatching all the eggs
you would need a lot of incubators though, right?
yeah thats cooked bro
no 😭 you kill the bad eggs
yeah i just throw them all out on the floor
dude, just get a egg incu they are cheap
not even tek
is there a hotkey to kill the eggs or do you just have to click back and forth
Tbh im happy we got em b4 gen 2
there is a button
Crack them
250 electronics
thats cheap
Unless ur on island
no, still cheap
silica pearl caves are everywhere
yes but you have to click the egg, then the button, then the egg
would be faster if i could just click the egg and then a key on my keyboard
Getting pearls on island is annoying
not at all
tame angler and youll have a million
kinda like how you can quick drop with O or quick consume with E
Forgot bout those
and?
you would rather hatch each egg?
and not see the stats of the babys
you need to go through 100s of eggs to get the one you need, throwing them on the ground would be way faster than that
Isnt best pearl map abb? Or was that Ci
its not, but sure
every 30 seconds in this game honestly
u aint gonna listen, i aint gonna answer lol
Wait no Ci was best charcoal map right
they killed charcoal trees
you can hold down O and it throws down like 20 in a little over a second, can you click two buttons back and forth 20 times in a little over a second?
Yeeee didnt those give a bunch..
best pearl map, is any you use phinoexs
Just got the lost colony pack and learning the skill tree🤣
They have different timers than you do for the eggs to pop
I wasnt even here to argue in the first place lol, i just wanted to complain about my archelon getting hit by a terror bird and then people started telling me to build behemoth gates
Can you refrase in bob language.
a proper farm i was making a dedi of pearl a hour
Didnt catch on
fire birds poop pearls
Ohh
eggs incubate faster in the incubator than on the ground?
If u set the temp right ye
You are on boosted rates right?
u have to go around and check each baby for stats so its the same clicking
phoenixes make pearls?
ive never tamed one before lol
mega boosted
Silica pearls yea
nuh uh 
i uh uh uh have to click smth so like ik more than you even tho i keep asking what smth dose
you have to set the temp? I thought it did that automatically
they make both, 1% will be black
Each egg will want a different perfect temperature
each egg of speices, rex will want 1 temp
Then an egg that takes you say... 2 minutes to hatch can take them hours. Depending on the rates you have. So an incubator is better for them and quicker than throwing them all down
I have only gotten silica pearls from them I get black pearl and other stuff from my gachas
I just look at the level before even claiming them, I only claim ones that are obviously mutants because they will be +2 lvl higher. Can easily scan a crowd pretty quickly
So like rex eggs will want 44 or smth and brontos was 22 (example)
gachas are better for black,
I have been using the incubator incorrectly
Enough air cons and it won't matter what you are trying to hatch
I have 6 gachas set only for black pearls
but it wouldnt be quicker for me? or would it still be faster
True but AC causes lag
air cons affect incubators?
you litteraly dont have to wait for them to hatch
If i need Black pearls i just head to abb ima be honest.. or Svart (10$ well spent)
abb pearls are shit
?
constaint agro for like, 10 or less per pick up
Only 10🤣
true. In that case, it depends on how fast you can put the eggs in the incubator and how fast you can crack the bad ones
I guess there is a "crack all" button, i forgot about that
If you are doing mass and looking for levels then on the floor could be faster than cycling them in the incubator that shows stats. Really gonna depend on your system since you have boosted af and waiting for them to hatch isn't a problem
I dont need like 20k... but ik wut u mean
wait
I vaugely remember this. Haven't ran into that issue in a long time
Its a bit annoying
no there isnt
How boosted is his server
I thought there was a crack all button, where is it
its the particals
And ass but..
he said like 30 min raising earlier
Svart is good for pearls. Mostly
Mine grow in cryo pods
Cool, ty. Gonna try to see how many I can toss down to lag lol
Gen1 is great for pearls, cant wait for it to come out
It is?
the hexigon shop
Air conditioners are banned from my server
the shop is best for bassicly anything thats in it
I forgot about that ngl
its next level for GP
litteraly 100*+ faster than making it
Sorry if this has been discussed as of recent. But anyone getting this must delete mods message to join servers?
You find a ton of black pearls in the ab zone on val
I didnt like the gens on Evolved but im determined to beat em on ASA.
But first.. lost colony.
gen1 is ass, gen2 is peak
stryders are peak
I hated both gen on ase
Gen 2 is amazing. Gen 1 not as much
i do not like gen1, the boss is horrid too
Stryders are fugly
ocean biome, every island pillar in the ocean is surrounded in clams
idgaf about looks 😭 i want my inf resources
inf metal
inf black pearls
inf ele
inf oil
The boss is annoying, the missions suck to do, but its easy to get loot there i think
I felt the opposite
the missions are whatever
Isnt there a way to get quality ass pumps in volcano
I didnt like the directed feel of gen2, gen1 felt like it just gave me 5 mini maps in one map
Only ones that REALLY suck are the brute missions
i dont remeber them
When u had to track op as dinos and kill em
those were easy
Like the tek giga in the lunar biome and sheet
Does 24 stacks of cooked meat sound right to keep two Rexes alive that are on 14% maturation
trough or maeguana
Idk what coffee ur drinking but theyre annoying
Normal trough
rates?
you know what really sucked on gen1? trying to find a tuso to tame
9 times out of 10 the tuso would spawn inside of a cliff
Official so 2x
you need 6.3k to keep them alive
6.3k meat?
cooked meat
Okay
I could never with officials lol
why are you using cooked? raw is 2x the food
Unless i somehow make friends... same
As a solo id never
none of my friends play ark as much as i do
It’s in a normal trough i don’t want it to spoil while im asleep im just trying to keep them alive through the night while i sleep
Im at 1k hours now. (BABY numbers)
I need moreeeeee
just cryo em atp lol
or get a maeguana
im 600 in both ASE and ASA, 1.2k combined
😔
I never played ASE much
I have 4 hours on my ps and like 200 on xbox.

no i dont want your friend request 😭
?
you can dm me without it lol
Sora doesnt like bobs i guess
i just dont like clutter
No probably not
i have dms on lol
I wasnt looking to dm, i just wanted to be friends lol
ughhhh fineeeee

i need gif perms 🥀
What is playing official in 100+ player tribes like?
How do you deal with inside raids with that many people?
Man it says iv got over 1000 hours but still feels like haven't played it long lmao
ranks, the game has built in ranks

can you set different door permissions to different ranks?
I think she meant alliances. Unless you actually can have 100+ tribemates
ye
blue tag isnt a thing on pvp, easiest way to get raided
what kind of stuff does your tribe usually have you do if you are bottom rank in your tribe
im not in on atm, those people pvp defend farm
farm bps, run bosses
keep things rendered
that actually sounds kinda fun. You just go around the map finding people to fight, and your tribe gives you a new set of gear every time you die?
no lol, you go to other maps to find fights
So playing the game...
most tribes have warrooms with vaults of flak sets and weapons
do you usually get rate limited on how much gear you are allowed to take daily?
i mean, if someone takes like 50 sets and dose nth with them
they prolly get kicked lmao
Isnt element vains a pretty ass idea to get element. Or was that smth else.
Game up or down getting a connection error.
ele vains are great for ele
they are not effected by rescource harvest amount tho just melee dmg, and that caps around 6k hard ele
yes
Do dedicated storages have a function to automatically distribute resources to crafting and refining stations? I see a "add as input" option to a lot of stations, i was wondering what thats about
Oh so u just want smoke.... got it
thats for the robots, the dedis will just get pulled from as needed
yuh
Dedis are the best thing since sliced cheese
With the stack size on officials so limited and the slot count on crafting stations also limited, and then the scale of resource cost on gear being so large, i was wondering how you guys efficiently craft all this stuff without spending 90% of the time just hauling resources around the base
dedis
and with that large amount of dedis, you do acually have to place them correctly
Can u move dedis with a rhynio or is that just vaults
cant move dedis
do they automatically allow stations to draw from them within a certain range?
yes
I see
no cookers tho
can they also be automatically deposited into?
with a stryder only
I see
you can link a stryder to a dedi and it will auto depo into it from anywhere in the map (i didnt know this back in ase lol)
so base efficiency is really being stunted until gen2 comes out?
Which boss gives the most element
that dosent increase base efficiency lol
thodes atm i think
unless you count overseer spawing dudes that drop it
Hes like 750 no?
i think so
I meant efficiency of your base, resource runs seem like they would be way faster if you could just instantly unload your tame and then run back out for more stuff
you dont have to run back, it auto depos from anywhere in map
thats even better lol
uh, yeah kinda
that sounds really strong for raiding
would have nth to do with raiding
once the dedi is full you cant depo more into it, someone has to take out of the dedi
true, i guess youve already lost if the enemy is able to get into your stores
Im a single player bob but i just grab a roo 1k shells and a good shotgun and shoot it
And considering u need to shoot it anyway 🤷♂️
if you would use dinos with it, the fight would be cheaper
idk if you can latch him with bleed chicken or how it works with his DR
I was thinking, what if you were being raided? the enemy broke a few of your walls and has access to some of your storage containers. If they load a bunch of stuff onto an argentavis, you can still kill the argy and retrieve the stuff as the argy is on its way back to its base. once they throw it into a stryder though, its gone because it just gets zipped away into the raider's base
Yeah that idk
ima test it rq
Ik they patched Deinosuchus bleed on bosses sadly
What is the most difficult base to raid in all of the maps? what location (without meshing) is considered the most defensible?
chicken bleed is suspoed to work
Deinosuchus not deinonychus
people like center snow north
The big crocs
is it because of the cold weather? or is there a bunch of caves there?
its a cave
Water.
no latch but you can bleed him, and its effected by the DR
still would be VERY good for the fight if you get them to bleed during no DR phase
do people make prim plus servers anymore
pvp is way more intense than you are thinking
and u can shoot of the back
I moved my neck the wrong way and now it hurts
boss with bleed?
Grendel can bleed u
is it worse than dragon's %dmg fireballs?
Hi
I think
with his DR you tick 162, without 16200 lol
No dragon still worse imo
@ionic trellis can u fix my name plz back to how it’s supposed to be
25% max hp to carnivores is disgusting
DR?
his damage reistance
really just says "screw your rex army"
carbos back
Or that
more than doed's ball form? I guess they cant do that while tamed though
KT only has about a 1/4-1/5 DR, and its armor based
throdes has a 90% DR
its the same i think , and they can while tamed
