Ab doesn't have the weird anti-flier restrictions gen 1 does

if you have a creature in aberration you can ride it- You can see this with certain mods that add fliers to its spawns or if you just do something like admin spawn in an argent/turn off the foreign dino transfer block

[modest wharf]

Does anyone know of an interactive map so I can mark off which notes I've found?

[elfin hearth]

I've seen that asked before and the answer was no, and that you'll need to come up with something on your own

[lethal turret]

Hey! I was wondering if when on a multiplayer if the 10 extra levels from unlocking all the notes will also unlock for others in a tribe?

[fair wyvern]

No

[lethal turret]

Ok. Thanks!

[errant shore]

Newbie question !!

I tried to google all vanilla (from the island you spawn on) fur variant of otters, does anyone have a guide link ?

[subtle field]

ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Otter

[fair wyvern]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Otter#Variants

[subtle field]

there is a section there that has the colour regions and their colours

[fair wyvern]

You can use wiki links btw

[subtle field]

i know
its faster for me to type it out

rather than copy pasting the link

[errant shore]

Thank you

[fair wyvern]

fair enough

[errant shore]

A friend told me fjordur map has every single dinosaur thats in all the dlc and its free.

I dont belive them and wanted to ask if thats true ?

[subtle field]

it's false

[fair wyvern]

It has the most of any map but not everything

[subtle field]

fjordur has 145 dinos avaliable, there are 184 in total accross all DLCs

[errant shore]

Is there a list somewhere of the ones missing?

[fair wyvern]

There’s a list of what it does have but I’m not aware of a list of what it doesn’t have

[errant shore]

Where can i find that list?

[fair wyvern]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Fjordur#Creatures

[errant shore]

Thank you :)

[fair wyvern]

np

[spark sedge]

There's a mod called explorer notes tracker that tracks which notes you've collected and guides you to them

if mods are an option

[modest wharf]

I'll have to check that out, tanks!

thanks*

[spark sedge]

It's a pretty easy mod to use but it does have some caveats

If you start it on a map that's already had some explorer note progress you'll have to figure out which you already have and tick them off manually because it doesn't know, and if you transfer off the map it's going to reset your progress so you'll have to do it again

So I would recommend not transferring until you've got all the notes collected

It also doesn't transfer with you so you'll have to make/admin spawn one on every map you're playing on

but it's probably the best way to get all the explorer notes without using an admin command to do so or one of those cheap maps that has a single chest with every note in it

[modest wharf]

Ok, so just mark the ones I've collected, then continue and be careful of transferring?

[sand narwhal]

Do Magmasors spawn on rag?

[spark sedge]

Yep

[sand narwhal]

where

[spark sedge]

It's also relatively fair a mod because it kind of gives you a warmer/colder system of guiding you to whichever the current closest explorer note is

[sand narwhal]

o

[spark sedge]

Magmasaurs do not spawn on rag

As far as I know they only spawn on genesis 1?

[sand narwhal]

ok

[tough yarrow]

Genesis 1, lost island, and fjordur

[sand narwhal]

thank you

[tough yarrow]

You can use mods like CrossGenesis for rag, if you'd like

[inland jay]

uh can i swap stryper parts for different ones if i have other stryder?

[sand narwhal]

ok

[tough yarrow]

Nope, you have to tame the others

[vital seal]

whats the best map for 2-3 friends

[inland jay]

uh also how do i tame a queen reaper this guy tames bout be up for grabs

[tough yarrow]

You cant tame a reaper, you have to be impregnated by the queens.

[inland jay]

[tough yarrow]

Uh

No.

[inland jay]

🤔

[tough yarrow]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Reaper

[inland jay]

🤔

[spark sedge]

more or less accurate

You find one of a decent level, fight it like a pokemon battle, render it very low health (Do not kill it!), turn off your glowpet, check to see if it's emitting a pink mist, make sure it's aggroed on you, not your mount, then you wait for it to grab and then facehug you

[inland jay]

wait uh do they only come out kings or just the nornal chances 🤔

[spark sedge]

Magnifying glasses are a very important tool because you want to bring it to the brink of death but not quite dead, and it's good to use them to see if one more bite will kill it

[spark sedge]

You can never tame a reaper queen without mods- Your little bundle of sunshine will always be a king

queens are essentially just bigger kings anyway

[inland jay]

cause the guy have 2 r reapers

[spark sedge]

R-Reapers are tamed the same way that normal reapers are, the queens are just more rockwell-y

[inland jay]

king*

[spark sedge]

and probably you don't have to deal with radiation? i haven't gotten to gen 2 yet

[limber current]

No rad on gen2

[inland jay]

oh so uuuuuuuhhh

[fair wyvern]

If you are talking about somebody’s already tamed reaper almost being claimable, all you have to do is press Y and it’ll be yours

[spark sedge]

Oh if you were just talking claiming yeah should be the same as anything else

do note that without being imprinted to you that's a good chunk of their survivability gone

[inland jay]

fuckin discord fix your shit cant send out message while crashing after this dam update

@fair wyvern yea i know im waiting for tiner

[fair wyvern]

Wildcard

I think

[limber current]

On unofficial?

[inland jay]

ye im unofficail

what the mosr populated pvp server

[fair wyvern]

Can’t accurately judge a game until you play it

[limber current]

Anyone got seen the bug where gets imprenated by r reaper queen but give birth to normal reaper king?

[elfin hearth]

That's not a bug

[inland jay]

so which one do i need imprenated for a r queen

:/

[limber current]

Isnt r queens supposed to give r reapers only?

[elfin hearth]

See above (you can't w/o mods)

Kings only

[limber current]

I know is kings only

[fair wyvern]

Irrelevant to how a new game may preform

[limber current]

But the reaper was a normal one, not a r reaper

[elfin hearth]

Ah

[inland jay]

low key might swithc to gen 2 it seems alot more stable than fjordur

[fair wyvern]

NO

Gen2 is much worse

[elfin hearth]

What do you mean by "unstable"

[fair wyvern]

A big name to help advertise a game? It’s not a new concept

[elfin hearth]

Vin is also supposedly a big fan

[fair wyvern]

Apparently vin actually has played ark so he’d be easier to get onboard

[inland jay]

which gen 2 boss drop the tek pants and chest tek storage tek double door ,frame tek support fence tek forcefiel behmoth tek gate tek dinosaur gateway the behemoth the vaccum tek light tapajara saddle teloporter exo mek and the little ship thining

[uneven wyvern]

alpha dragon does

well alpha dragon gives some engrems

[spark sedge]

y'know there's a wiki right

Looks like tek skiff is only unlocked by killing CMC at gamma, at least

[elfin hearth]

The wiki lists what bosses drop, fyi @inland jay

And the item pages also list which bosses drop the respective items

[inland jay]

what wiki 🤔

[elfin hearth]

ark.wiki.gg

[fair wyvern]

https://ark.wiki.gg/

[elfin hearth]

Forgot we can link it

[tough yarrow]

Whitelisted and is also pinned in #bobs-with-probs

[inland jay]

@spark sedge cmc?

[spark sedge]

Corrupted Master Controller, the Gen 1 boss

[inland jay]

is he easy

can u use sinomacrops in gen 1 🤔

[spark sedge]

He's a boss, and yes

[inland jay]

but then all tho feel like fjordir hawk will be more usefull

[spark sedge]

Personally i think a good otter/ferox is your best shoulder pet in gen1, so many temp extremes

Unless you're intending to do specific missions in the lunar biome in which case you want a good lightpet

[inland jay]

kinda wanna play gen 1 now since i got strong tek rexes but than i get flash back of getting eaten 80000 at spawned

scares me away from gen 1 :[

[spark sedge]

es fine

unless you're playing on pvp or something but then you know what you're in for

The alpha missions are the only real frustrating part in my experience

well, and the entirety of the lunar biome. but that's the lunar biome.

[regal yarrow]

The bog is annoying, but that's just because I get stream sniped by kapros at every turn lol

[spark sedge]

My main base is in the bog, just gotta learn to respect it

[uneven wyvern]

i feel bad for u raq

[spark sedge]

Lunar biome is still 10,000x as frustrating as the bog has ever been

It does not ever give you a chance to friggin breathe

[regal yarrow]

I don't generally go there because I don't play pve on gen1, and the bog is terrible for base locations on pvp lol

[spark sedge]

oh you cleared out this area so that you can start setting up for your hunt/mission? lmao jk here's fifteen more tek raptors

[regal yarrow]

Bruh, I build lunar all the time lol

[spark sedge]

Also a rex that fell from another asteroid directly on your face

Also everything is now taking damage for no reason

[regal yarrow]

Just have medbrews and jump around

[uneven wyvern]

is lunar cave the cave under water?

[regal yarrow]

On fjordur? There is the lunar cave with the purple crystals, then there is also the caverns of time

[uneven wyvern]

whats the cave called if its under the fire island?

im not talking about magma cave

[regal yarrow]

The one underwater with no gravity behind the volcano is the caverns of time

[uneven wyvern]

ooh

wheres lunar cave at?

[regal yarrow]

It's the one with purple crystals on the mainland

[uneven wyvern]

oh

theres a cave with gas idk what cave it is

[regal yarrow]

The swamp cave has gas?

[uneven wyvern]

ye i go in that cave and die within seconds

[regal yarrow]

You can go in on an andrewsarchus and be fine

[uneven wyvern]

but the andrew may die

[regal yarrow]

Dinos don't get affected by poison gas

[uneven wyvern]

will a gas mask work?

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, for the swamp cave

[uneven wyvern]

whats inside the swamp cave

[regal yarrow]

Some desmodus and an artifact

[uneven wyvern]

i thought desm was in the other cave on the island below the swamp island

[regal yarrow]

They are in most caves

[uneven wyvern]

whats a good dino for swamp cave

[regal yarrow]

Andrewsarchus are the best

[slate widget]

use an andrew in any cave with desmodus or get picked by them lol

[uneven wyvern]

could i start blasting the bats

[slate widget]

yeah. if you kill them before they get to you

[regal yarrow]

If you are doing caves on fjordur, you should be using an andrewsarchus lol

[slate widget]

I use a shadowmane

[uneven wyvern]

i dont use andrews on most caves

[slate widget]

I've only gone through like 3 caves tho 😂 none of which have desmodus

[uneven wyvern]

i may or may not use a giga for metal and element runs

[misty turtle]

Gigan for metal and ele ?

Or you mean for protect you while you farm

[uneven wyvern]

for protection

[feral badge]

I spawn in lava wow

[hazy stream]

What is a good difficulty for a 3 player pve server?

[tiny ferry]

I tried to go to a different ark and put my items into the tek transmitter and when I pulled my cryopodded animals and then they went from fully charged pods to dead and i lost my favorite wyvern is there something i did wrong (fyi i didnt wind up going to different map i just pulled my stuf back out)

[misty turtle]

Ah make sense

[primal patio]

Rlly depends what u like tbh

[hazy stream]

We have no idea wtf we doing

We just setting tame and egg raise speeds higher

[primal patio]

Well just keep it at default u can always change it later

[hazy stream]

Oh we can change settings after its made?

[primal patio]

Ye always

[hazy stream]

One quick question

[primal patio]

Ye

[hazy stream]

For the imprint intervals

Or which imprint settings do i put so its 1 imprint that gives 100% for every dino

[primal patio]

I honestly have no clue its been a few months since i touched sp i remember if u search it up on yt u find it pretty quick thk

[next estuary]

I have 4 queens in the gen 2 acid pool

One is 150

[primal patio]

Thats nice

[hazy stream]

Oh thx

[spark sedge]

I would actually highly reccomend you set your difficulty at max sooner rather than later

[next estuary]

It would be a shame because if the queen were to glitch out (again)

[spark sedge]

Higher level dinosaurs may occasionally be rougher on foot in the very early game, but that levels out extremely quickly when you start taming them

And if you set your difficulty low and then up it later, anything you've tamed at the lower difficulty is going to be objectively worse

[primal patio]

Thats true but some ppl like 150 max

[spark sedge]

(actually difficulty is a really bad word for it in general)

Oh i'm assuming that's what we're talking about, as far as I know default difficulty sets you at like. 30 or so

[next estuary]

Reapers are the best creatures change my mind

[spark sedge]

no, pretty on the money

I mean, they're no bulbdogs but that's not a fair comparison

Reapers have a really, really good mix of raw power and utility- I find them pretty invaluable for extinction OSDs, where they can ground the wyverns

[next estuary]

The 150 I had in acid swung its tail instead if impregnating

[spark sedge]

You have to wait

[next estuary]

It probably died

It had 1200 health

[spark sedge]

They do not do it immediately upon starting the Mist

Also do not fight them in the element water

For many reasons

[next estuary]

State some

[spark sedge]

Well for starters

That's a really quick way to get you killed

[hazy stream]

Is there any way to get rid of host tether?

[spark sedge]

When she drops you at 1 HP directly into the water

[next estuary]

Use throwaway items

Spyglass only

[spark sedge]

You know what have fun

Don't complain when you keep having problems

[hazy stream]

Anyone here know how to get rid of tether

[next estuary]

I’m gonna do it and complain when i have problems in 15 minutes

Summoners are annoying

[proud grove]

making sure, replicator can make everything that fabricator and smithy can make?

[keen mural]

Yerrr

They can make everything

[unreal terrace]

any1 can answer why when i am taming lvl 20, punch it to 0% effectiveness with owl healing and it still gain 4 levels after tame?

[elfin hearth]

Because effectiveness doesn't block leveling

Entirely

[unreal terrace]

ahh ok so no way to keep dino the level it is in the wild after tamed?

[elfin hearth]

Not that I know of (without mods)

Are you min-maxing stats or something?

[copper cipher]

i wish ark 2 be better than gta

[prisma sand]

No.

[prisma sand]

GTA isn’t a good game. It comes with built in cheats just to make it fun for 12 minutes.

[frigid knoll]

anybody down to play sum?

[potent hawk]

Bro since when can argy not carry anky

[paper nimbus]

they can, check your settings

[potent hawk]

It can carry dodo

Just not anky

[hasty osprey]

So I think I've figured out the best way to get metal on extinction

[ionic stratus]

Jo mama?

Or lamp posts

?

[regal yarrow]

Murderizing robots and using a chainsaw?

[hasty osprey]

Thats one

But I've found grinding the metal structures you get from red and purple drops to get you a good amount of metal

And you also get cementing paste too

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, that's a good way to. Especially if you have s+

Gacha loot is also great to grind lol

[hasty osprey]

Yeah

Getting raw metal on extinction is a pain

There's only like 1 spot (excluding the forbidden zone) to get a good amount of metal

There's no real benefit from going to the forbidden zone tbh

It's way to dangerous

[potent hawk]

Nvm thanks I kept using the c button but apparently, it's held right click

[next estuary]

I got a 145 reaper after 3 hours

[silent matrix]

corrupt heart farming?

[long rune]

isnt it corrupted node

[next summit]

Wait how do you get reapers

[silent matrix]

damage a queen to low hp, turn off chargelight, and get impregnated

on genesis 2, there's a acid pit in the same room the queens spawn, so it's just the Free Reaper Zone

i had reapers day 2, would have had them day 1 if I knew they spawned there

[next summit]

Impregnated..?

[silent matrix]

impregnated

like the xenomorphs from alien

[next summit]

im trying to process how that works like

[silent matrix]

reapers are a reference to those, while rock drakes take inspiration from predators (from predator)

[next summit]

what??

[silent matrix]

parasitic reproduction

[next summit]

So it it like a chest burster

[silent matrix]

yes, those are the xenomorphs

from alien

[next summit]

Wont that kill me

[silent matrix]

queen puts the baby in you, it incubates, then rips violently out of your stomach region

1 hp iirc

newborn is also hostile to anything and everything

you need to get pheromones from killing queens and apply them to make it non-aggressive

(or just let it kill you while you're encumbered with meat, which is the meta nowadays)

[next summit]

so can I breed reapers?

[silent matrix]

no.

they can only be acquired via wild impregnation

[next summit]

i

why ark

[silent matrix]

while you're incubating one inside you, you can gain up to +75 levels for the baby

the buff is called "preggers" internally.

so take that info and use it however you want

[long rune]

Does it work if it kills a dino encumbered with meat?

Like a dung beetle

freshly tamed

[silent matrix]

maybe? easier just to let it kill you

[next summit]

How long does it take to grow?

[silent matrix]

depends on server rates, don't know the official growth time

[next summit]

1x

[silent matrix]

shorter than a yuty

[next summit]

Which is

[silent matrix]

according to google, 3 days 9 hours

that was 2018 though

incubation period is 12 hours

If a reaper impregnates you, does it have your genetics or dna?

no

[iron bronze]

Incubation time only ticks while your online

[silent matrix]

it's like those wasps that lay eggs in other insects

[next summit]

Ew ew ew no no no

Id rather trade for one now

[silent matrix]

so a bit closer to reality than xenomorphs

[ionic lintel]

does meawings can reproduce?

[silent matrix]

yes

[ionic lintel]

w

[silent matrix]

they were the first ungendered breedable dino, wc let achatinas do that later

Achatinas are just weird

[next summit]

the snails?

there not that bad

[upper carbon]

Hello, if I move to another server, can I somehow transfer my character with my level to that server, without taking it from zero?

[long rune]

Yeah

[upper carbon]

How?

[long rune]

go to obelisk and click transfer character

YOu can bring items too

& dinos

[upper carbon]

I just want the level, I don't have the dinosaurs anymore because I kind of missed them from the server and they were deleted

[upper carbon]

Thx for help 🙂

[long rune]

Just go to an obelisk, middle panel near the bottom

[upper carbon]

Where did you want me to press?

[torn sage]

Can captain fatdogs rex trap work on Alpha rex too?

[turbid leaf]

Alphas are bigger and can eat stone, so no.

[elfin hearth]

I think a metal version would probably work

Would probably need to just try it and see what happens

[modern barn]

does anyone know how to turn off cryo sickness? I've been trying but cant figure it out

nvm my friend showed me

[torn sage]

@elfin hearth can u dm me if it works or not

[frigid knoll]

I need a person to play pve with

central europe btw

[oak void]

#735196255483068497 is your best bet my friend

[frigid knoll]

thanks bro

[oak void]

No worries, good luck on your search

[uneven shale]

Can we expect 2x on official this weekend?

[oak void]

Hopefully, I need to farm

[uneven shale]

I have 30 rexes and 50 yutys for 2x waiting 🤣

[oak void]

I'm fresh start poor atm, just a mana to raise 😿

[uneven shale]

Ur on PVE or?

[frigid knoll]

u down to play?

[uneven shale]

If ur on PVE I can make you baby shadow and few blood wyvern eggs if you want. But later today. I'm at work at the moment 🤣

[safe arrow]

I put bait on a fishing rod but still cant equip it

what happened

[fair wyvern]

Need to be sitting on something like a chair

[safe arrow]

Ok

[uneven wyvern]

If I done 3 boss's on fjorur will I get 45 lvl increase on my cap?

[fair wyvern]

no

[uneven wyvern]

Why not

[fair wyvern]

Fjordur bosses don’t increase level cap

[uneven wyvern]

...

Then explain why people r lvl 140+ of they done boss's on that map

[fair wyvern]

From doing bosses on other maps

[static fjord]

fjordur only gives you +10 levels from 200/200 runes

[uneven wyvern]

Alpha dragon should be easy on other map I play

[fair wyvern]

Alpha dragon doesn’t give max levels on any map

[uneven wyvern]

It should

[fair wyvern]

Well it doesn’t

[uneven wyvern]

Google is a thing

[static fjord]

yeah and google isnt always correct lol

[fair wyvern]

The only bosses that increase max level is overseer, rockwell, corrupted master controller and rockwell prime

[static fjord]

only overseer, rockwell (ab), cmc and rockwell prime give extra levels upon defeat

[uneven wyvern]

Dodoes is hardly correct

[static fjord]

broodmother, megapithecus and dragon are added to your implant im pretty sure, but theyre used to fight overseer, not give levels themself.

[potent hawk]

Dumb question is there a way to go back a day or 2 on ark single player

[fair wyvern]

Not that I’m aware of

[potent hawk]

Nooooo

[fair wyvern]

Why

[potent hawk]

I wanna go back before I thought I left my game on pause and then got my two perfect tamed killed while I went downstairs 2 do a side quest my mom gave me

[fair wyvern]

If you’re on steam you should be able to load a backup

[potent hawk]

Is there a yt video

I've looked everywhere and I can't find how to backup

[fair wyvern]

What map were you playing?

[potent hawk]

Ragnarok

Single-player and I don't mind going back a few days I just wanna go back

[fair wyvern]

Steamapps>common>ark>shootergamne>saved, make a backup of Saved. Then delete ragnarok.ark, and rename one of the numbered ragnarok saves (whichever is closest to how long you want to backup) to ragnarok.ark

[potent hawk]

I think I get ir

@fair wyvern can I dm you?

[fair wyvern]

Of course

[random rose]

How long i should cryo baby magma to change its imprint request?

[fair wyvern]

Assuming you don’t have a cryo cooldown, you can throw it back out immediately to reset it

[random rose]

I did it once and i didnt change
Maybe will try it again, magma need ambergis lol

[fair wyvern]

It’s rng, sometimes you get the same thing multiple times

[copper bear]

for other ark maps, do I have to download them or they are available in Ark?

cuz I'm downloading the core game rn

assuming that I added them to my library

[static fjord]

you need to download the map itself, core game downloads all the dinos, items etc from other maps but you still need to download the map itself to have them naturally spawn on their respective maps without ini or anything

[next estuary]

Or use cryopods

[oak void]

Yeah pve, quit pvp it's in a horrid state atm

[copper bear]

Got it, thx

[sweet nebula]

Guys

[copper bear]

What're all of the free maps for Arks as of rn? And what do you guys suggest

[static fjord]

non story arks are free

[copper bear]

How am I supposed to know which is non-story tho

[sweet nebula]

Why when i change the usergamesettings.ini difficulty offset to any number when play singleplayer and rejoin it resets to 1.0

[copper bear]

Ik that Lost Island and Valguero is free, got those in my library

[fair wyvern]

The ones that are free are non-story

[copper bear]

But idk if there are others

[static fjord]

centre, ragnarok, crystal isles and fjordur are also free

[copper bear]

[sweet nebula]

@copper bear the center crystal isles Ragnarok valeguero lost island and fjordor are all free

[copper bear]

What are some that you guys suggest playing

[sweet nebula]

@copper bear Ragnarok is amazing

@sweet nebula crystal isles is good

[static fjord]

valguero, lost island and fjordur are imo the best out of the bunch, crystal isles and ragnarok is meh

[copper bear]

That is fun with a diverse species of cool creatures

[static fjord]

crystal isles is by far one of the worst maps imo

[copper bear]

If I'm not wrong, ragnarok is a dessert right?

[sweet nebula]

@copper bear lost island is amazing but may be a little hard

@copper bear no

[static fjord]

it does have a desert but the desert map is scorched earth

[sweet nebula]

Its a mix

[copper bear]

O ok

[sweet nebula]

Scorched earth is a paid dlc

[copper bear]

Oh scorched is dessert, ok

Btw, does primitive+ apply to all dlc maps

[sweet nebula]

scorched is very hard

[copper bear]

Yea figures

[sweet nebula]

Btw, if you think scorched is hard

[static fjord]

its no longer supported so primitive plus will break everything at this point

[sweet nebula]

NEVER Play Aberration

[long flicker]

ab isn't that much harder than scorched

[static fjord]

scorched and ab are pretty much the same in difficulty, though what ab lacks in difficulty, scorched has it and vice versa

[long flicker]

the hurdle is simply getting enough knowledge to know what to do for what

[static fjord]

if you want mega hard challenge that is actually difficult past the "yea i know everything this game has to offer", then play gen 1.

[long flicker]

*with self imposed rules

[copper bear]

Nah, I just want it to be moderately hard

Whats the diff between valg and lost

Ik that fjordur is set in a viking-like environment but idk abt the other 2

[static fjord]

most maps are moderately hard for new players, scorched and ab is difficult for new players but the difficulty fades away in time, gen 1 is hard no matter what you do

not sure how difficult lost island is, fjordur is more difficult than most maps but nothing on scorched, ab or gen 1.

[uneven wyvern]

Gen 2 is semi hard

[eternal merlin]

Moderately hard for Old players too😂 I still have to check my blood pressure when walking through a forest or accidentally jumping off a Dino

[long flicker]

gen 2 is ark but baby mode

[eternal merlin]

I’ll go on that one then lmao 😂

[uneven wyvern]

I can do gen 2 easily so far

[long flicker]

imo it's a bad one to start one because of the free tek suit

[uneven wyvern]

But u can fly

[static fjord]

crystal isles and gen 2 is the definition of baby mode but atleast gen 2 is good if you put the dogwater progression and balance to the side

[long flicker]

for starting off there's no better map than the island

[uneven wyvern]

Lost island could be a challenge

[eternal merlin]

The Island is my home and base for everything, I move around the other maps kinda shopping for high lvl dinos coz there’s a lack of high lvls on The Island, saying that though I go for pretty coloured dinos too and sometimes I’ll settle for a low level just for the sake of the colour

[long flicker]

ah then stay off aberration
you're stuck once you go there (in singleplayer) till you can go to the surface or rockwell terminal

[eternal merlin]

If this was a vote… I like Fjordur because it has a massive variety of all the dinos you could find in all maps except Gen

[copper bear]

wait

[static fjord]

dino variety is cool but i dont like how boring it is in some areas cough 90% forest, copied magmasaur den from gen cough

[eternal merlin]

That’s a rather tickly cough you’ve got there 😂

[static fjord]

must be seasonal allergies

[eternal merlin]

😂

[eternal merlin]

What are we all waiting for Yemen?

[copper bear]

ok so the difficulty level is setted by a bar, how do I know what's the exact difficulty and scalings

[eternal merlin]

Difficulty bar doesn’t really do a lot

[copper bear]

ok

[uneven wyvern]

It's a cool map too imo

[eternal merlin]

There are “cheats” which will allow you to increase difficulty level, but if you read Ark Fandom on certain maps the difficulty is already set high

[copper bear]

for the world customization, can we go beyond the bar?

also, what does Dino count stands for?

[crisp prairie]

Can anyone say for definite where to get a giga saddle bp on fjordur?>

[copper bear]

the no. of dinos we can tame or.....?

damn, can't send an image here 😔

[uneven wyvern]

It can be gotten from a supply drop

[eternal merlin]

Mine says 600 tames I think, but I’m sure someone here will tell you of a way to get more maybe, I play the game as it is 🤷‍♂️

[fair wyvern]

Can sometimes get them from mini bosses

[uneven wyvern]

How hard is the mini bosses

[copper bear]

oh and are there any maps that have TEK creatures or only Gen?

[fair wyvern]

Not too bad, Beyla especially, can do it with 1 Giga or a few megatheriums

[uneven wyvern]

Where to spawn Beyla?

[fair wyvern]

Pretty sure all maps have tek variants spawns

[fair wyvern]

Cave at 4.58 lat 47.27 lon

Need 30 runestones to summon

[frigid knoll]

anybody down to play some (EU)

[eternal merlin]

Most have Tek variants, only reason I mentioned Gen earlier was the fact you’re probably not going to see an Astro D floating past on Fjordur etc

[fair wyvern]

#735196255483068497

[frigid knoll]

only groups go there

[fair wyvern]

You’re looking for a group to play with right? Either post there or look at other posts for people to join

[frigid knoll]

I just want a duo not a whole tribe

[fair wyvern]

You can just ask for one person for a duo, that’s fine

[frigid knoll]

k

[uneven wyvern]

30 rune stones is easy

[fair wyvern]

ye

[uneven wyvern]

Is that in snow biome?

[fair wyvern]

Nah, it’s near the snow though

[uneven wyvern]

Is 1 r giga enough for this Mimi boss

[static fjord]

dino count refers to the amount of wild dinos on your world. setting it to anything below 1 can cause spawn issues.
dinos in cryopods dont count toward the 600 tame limit
difficulty slider is meant to increase max level wild dino, but its bugged. check pins for how to get your desired max level wild dinos

pins in bobs with probs*

[fair wyvern]

Depends on stats and saddle

[uneven wyvern]

Prim saddle with 450 melee dmg

[fair wyvern]

Should be fine

[uneven wyvern]

With 30k hp

[frigid knoll]

me happy with my 1k hp tech para

[eternal merlin]

I’m still learning… Cryo’d dinos don’t count towards limit

[uneven wyvern]

I'm happy with 30k r giga hp

[frigid knoll]

I´ve never had anything bigger than a para

the tricerotops killed my other para ;(

[fair wyvern]

rip

[uneven wyvern]

Will a yuti help with this boss?

[fair wyvern]

Yes

[uneven wyvern]

Even if I only use it for buffing the giga?

[copper bear]

for some reason, I can't seem to see infos of creatures and harvestable resource sources when I'm targetting it

what setting should I enable to enable this

[fair wyvern]

Ye

[eternal yoke]

@viral shore if u got a better anti cheat the game would be better

That's what ark players want

[uneven wyvern]

So yuti + giga op?

[eternal yoke]

A good anti cheat

[fair wyvern]

Yuty + Giga will be great against Beyla

[uneven wyvern]

What's good with that combo

[static fjord]

by default, dino stats and resources from resources dont appear without specific items

[fair wyvern]

What do you mean

[copper bear]

oh....

I clearly have been playing too much ark mobile

[uneven wyvern]

Will a deadon work?

[silent matrix]

It'll help but isn't needed

[fair wyvern]

Yeah

Yuty and Giga is all you’d need though

[silent matrix]

A magnifying glass will do that. It's kinda bugged tho

[static fjord]

hln-a provides full stats but only works on genesis + doesnt work on resource nodes

[uneven wyvern]

So if I wanna use a r giga would it work with no help

[fair wyvern]

With prim saddle I’d probably take a Yuty

[hexed pewter]

Today is x2??

[uneven wyvern]

I might wait till server open for a good sadle

[fair wyvern]

Hasn’t been announced yet

[hexed pewter]

It used to be every weekend

[fair wyvern]

Used to be yes, it’s not anymore

[uneven wyvern]

What does this Mimi boss give

Or is it just for fun?

[fair wyvern]

Beyla relic needed to fight broodmother and some loot

[hexed pewter]

Which mini boss?

[uneven wyvern]

Beyla

[hexed pewter]

Its so easy

[uneven wyvern]

I might try with 2 Gigas

[fair wyvern]

All mini bosses have the same loot table, the only different drop is what relic they give

[hexed pewter]

Not even counts as a boss like alpha rex

[hexed pewter]

1 enough

[uneven wyvern]

Alpha Rex is easy for a giga

[hexed pewter]

Yea its the same

[uneven wyvern]

Would 2 Gigas work if I have no yuti

[fair wyvern]

I thought you said you had a Yuty

[hexed pewter]

I hv tamed giga with 250 dpg and 80 armor saddle I kill it easy solo 1 giga

[uneven wyvern]

I do but it's for breading

[frigid knoll]

the raptors took my tech para I will kill every single one of those bastards

[fair wyvern]

If things go wrong just run out of the cave lol

[uneven wyvern]

Then I bring more Gigas to over throw the mini boss

[frigid knoll]

just put allot of run speed and a cross bow

[uneven wyvern]

It's bad if my Andrew had better saddle than my giga

[frigid knoll]

it will take a while but it will work

[hexed pewter]

Will for the dessert mini I guess u need 3 gigas and focus the fire wolf first coz fire damage is strong lol

[frigid knoll]

just strip naked and don´t get hit

[uneven wyvern]

Cakes can work for fire

[frigid knoll]

it´s as easy as that

[uneven wyvern]

I did alpha dragon with pants

[frigid knoll]

weakling

@frigid knoll fuck this dude bro

[hexed pewter]

Wyvern milk better easy to get but no need 3 gigas will kill them then use owl to heal out of the desert

[frigid knoll]

or run with a crossbow

or gun

[uneven wyvern]

But u need food for snow owl

[frigid knoll]

just bring stake

steak*

[uneven wyvern]

Idk if fire dmg work on magmas

Cus magmas is a fire dino

[silent matrix]

I think they are only immune to lava

And maybe fire wyvern breath

[scarlet wolf]

i have a question, is it possible to start winterwonderland early on a sp world? with my current set event setting i cant get raptor claus to spawn

[fair wyvern]

Read what NinjaKiller said in #unofficial-setup-help

[scarlet wolf]

ty

[copper bear]

how can I delete maps that I don't use?

so that it doesn't take so much space on my computer

[fair wyvern]

Right click on the game in steam, properties, dlc, uncheck the dlc you don’t want

[copper bear]

ok got it

it'll automatically delete it right?

[eternal merlin]

Do b careful… I deleted the wrong map once and it was my main character and base😢 RIP 10,000+ hrs

[copper bear]

I haven't even played the game 😆

[fair wyvern]

Should do

[copper bear]

just downloaded all the free maps and realized it took way too much space

[copper bear]

what if it doesn't

how can I manually delete those

[fair wyvern]

I said should because I don’t play steam but that’s how I’ve seen how to do it

[copper bear]

hmm

ok, thx

[tawny wasp]

Use the official wiki instead: https://ark.wiki.gg
Fandom has no moderation or editor team whatsoever.

[eternal merlin]

Useful to know

[scarlet wolf]

How often do cave loot spawn for you guys? I keep running cave of lost faith but I average 0.5 crates per run. Perhaps this is an issue with SP being buggy?

[fair wyvern]

Singleplayer has drop spawn issues unfortunately

[scarlet wolf]

Should I run non dedication session and AFK in caves?

I have some crap bps and don’t want to wait for raptor claus

[fair wyvern]

That won’t fix the issue, non-dedicated is just singleplayer that a couple people can join

[scarlet wolf]

Darn, so there’s no known fix?

Or setting that I can change

[fair wyvern]

Not that I’m aware of

[scarlet wolf]

Darn ok

Maybe starting a dedicated server idk

[atomic plinth]

oh im creating a dedicated server now

and im having trouble with portforwarding

[scarlet wolf]

Could prevent hibernation setting have any effect?

[atomic plinth]

@placid sundial

help please

[fair wyvern]

Yes I believe that could help

[atomic plinth]

i transferred the save to the server directory and it does not start'

[atomic plinth]

do you know about setting up a dedicated?

[fair wyvern]

No clue

[atomic plinth]

fk

[atomic plinth]

it asks me for a password

i didnt set one

[next summit]

Say bye bye then lol

[astral fulcrum]

Looking for people to play with as I’m new to the game (playing for abt 2 weeks now) and single-player has gotten a bit boring. I’ve only ever played The Island but i’d also like to try Fjordur. Preferably without any infinites, instatames or fibercraft.

[fair wyvern]

#735196267373920286

[astral fulcrum]

Sorry, didn’t see that

[uneven wyvern]

I might play single player on PC when I get home

[next summit]

Looking for people to join my offixal ark servers

[uneven wyvern]

[long rune]

Same

[atomic plinth]

@placid sundial I have a few problems with problems with server hosting. The save file i pasted in did not work. i also dont understawd how to port forward

[inland jay]

can i not cryoba stryder

[fair wyvern]

Nope

[inland jay]

how do i tranfer to a server than and get it to the dead space area 🤔

[fair wyvern]

You can use the mission terminals to upload and download it around the map, or use a skiff, otherwise you’ll have to walk it

[inland jay]

oh

is their a way to unlink this guy strider from a dedicated storage

i aint got skiff unlock yets

sadly looks like somebody goten the robo wryvens :[

[inland jay]

@fair wyvern so which ine do i need to do download ot upload to transfer

[fair wyvern]

Creatures tab

[placid sundial]

'did not work'?
google port forwarding, it's not identical between isps.

[limber sluice]

I don't understand how we're supposed to be able to beat alpha bosses on the island (we don't have any expansions loaded), with the default server settings. All the guides I've read say we need to start the breeding process with high level dinos (like level 150), but all the rexes we find in the wild are between about level 2 to level 20. Even when we clear out areas where rexes can spawn, the average rex level we find is still around level 10.

[atomic flame]

you can clap beyla with a single decent shadowmane she's SUPER easy

[prisma sand]

You need to increase the difficulty

[atomic flame]

default server settings should be in scales of 5, from 5 to 150. you're playing on lower settings than intended. also, you can beat the broodmother with just a procop/shadowmane and a shotgun, i'm p sure you can cheese the monkey too. cheesing the dragon requires an off map dino though (deinos)

RIP to me last time i ran alpha dragon i did a little jump and then i got sent flying through the world 😔

[limber sluice]

Does that mean the alpha bosses also scale with server difficultly? Like, if I’m on the default difficulty level, I won’t need Min maxed Dino’s, stacked with mutations, for the alpha bosses?

[cursive scaffold]

Not really. It helps tho haha

[limber sluice]

Oh! Thank you!

[jade hornet]

so i am seeking to craft an oil pump on my fabricator but it says i need the engram first, yet there is no engram for oil pump when i go to look... - Fjordur
What am i missing here?

[tough yarrow]

Change the engram filters maybe

[jade hornet]

ahhh all the icons on top were not lit up and after selecting them all, i now see oil pump thanks - no idea why it was like that

[tough yarrow]

Because ark likes to annoy people.

[jade hornet]

🤣

[sweet current]

SW way of trolling people 🤣🤣

[placid sundial]

check pins in #bobs-with-probs for how to change difficulty. distribution will still make finding high levels a pain without a mod though

[spark sedge]

Like I said last night, lower difficulties actually make the game harder paradoxically enough

You have both weaker creatures to work with and worse loot

Technically you can take those level 20 wild creatures and make them Alpha Ready if you breed the absolute ever loving hell out of them and get crap tons of mutations but I would not recommend it

And you would still wind up with worse creatures than if you had started at a higher baseline

[placid sundial]

they're just looking for higher level dinos tho

and the game literally calls the setting 'difficulty' regardless of higher = easier

[cosmic plaza]

is it normal for an argy to have a smithy ui in its inventory?

[silent matrix]

Yeah it’s a mobile smithy. Beaver has the same thing too

[cosmic plaza]

damn nice

this argy was definitely worth losing all my gear

[regal yarrow]

Argies are gamechangers early on

[jovial path]

Argies are legit the best creature in the game for so many reasons

The biggest drawback is that they can’t really boss fight

Kinda hoping Ark 2 keeps their insane utility

[regal yarrow]

I mean, I am hoping they do a dramatic nerf on them lol, just because they are so op

[sweet nebula]

Which is better:
Quetz or Wyvern

[uneven wyvern]

Both

[sweet nebula]

No you have to choose one

[placid sundial]

Wyvern

[regal yarrow]

Depends on what it is for

[sweet nebula]

I like quetzs for
They're classic knockout taming
They have a platform saddle
And they are always shy

[regal yarrow]

If pve, then wyvern. If pvp, then I would say quetz

[slate widget]

quetz vs wyvern very much depends what you want

[atomic plinth]

@placid sundial Im planning on finishing this map and then starting a server, but do you think there will be tether bullshit inside a boss arena?

[placid sundial]

Yep

when I did rockwell with someone i repeatedly died, then tped into the arena, then died while tping, repeat 😄

[atomic plinth]

also, do you think i should use ark server manager

[placid sundial]

not used it so

[atomic plinth]

but you can go around the arena freely?

[placid sundial]

as a general rule I don't like UIs poking around in my settings

[sweet nebula]

What is better on rockwell bred megalo's
Or bred spinos

[atomic plinth]

megalo

[placid sundial]

Probably but i've not done every boss in nondedi

[regal yarrow]

Asm is pretty easy to use, it makes making a dedicated server feel like using a hosting service

[slate widget]

ASM just adds a UI to the server settings. up to you :P

[atomic plinth]

YES

i dont want to mess with commands edit inis and stuff

im no programmer

just a guy playin ark trying to have fun

[sweet nebula]

@atomic plinth they are pretty easy just type cheat and what you want

[placid sundial]

majority of inis are just 'copy paste a line, set it to a number or to True'

[regal yarrow]

I would personally recommend it then. Just make sure you don't set it up for 70 people lol

[atomic plinth]

yes

[placid sundial]

I had no programming experience, was editing ini for years before i touched the kit and even now i still can't read any text based programming

[atomic plinth]

so how do i install it? do i need to have a server already?

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, but you are just godtier at ini, so it doesn't count 🤣

[placid sundial]

since unless you're doing spawns/drops/craft costs, ini is legit just 'copy a line and change a value'

[placid sundial]

Hey, I had to start somewhere!

[regal yarrow]

You can Google it, there is a pretty comprehensive guide on it

[placid sundial]

Tbf I do understand hesitation with it, it can look daunting if you've not touched it before

[sweet nebula]

What type of wyverns ar the best ?

[atomic plinth]

but do i need to have a server or it will just make one

[regal yarrow]

Nah, I am pretty sure you spawned in with those engrams lol

[atomic plinth]

fire for me but many ppl like lightning

[slate widget]

once you have ASM downloaded there is a button where it downloads the server files and mods

[placid sundial]

Drops especially are absolutely hideous

[regal yarrow]

If you have one you can port that to it, if you don't have one it'll make one

[atomic plinth]

yes

and will it make port forwarding easier?

[fair wyvern]

Lightning has the best dps

[slate widget]

beacon can do drops :P those are the ini settings I recommend a calculator 😂 like levels :P

[atomic plinth]

i like fire tho

[slate widget]

port forwarding is done in your router

[fair wyvern]

That’s fine, fire is still good but if all you care about is damage, lightning is statistically better

[regal yarrow]

Depends. They aren't really comparable. Poisons are good in certain situations, lightnings are good for pvp as are bloods, tropicals are fast. Voids are great. Basically everything but fire and ice are good for something unique

[atomic plinth]

my gawd but this is complicated as hell

[placid sundial]

Yeah, drops and levels are the only INI I absolutely refuse to touch by hand

[slate widget]

for the most part, wyvern choice is just preference

[regal yarrow]

Unfortunately not. That is something you have to do with your router itself

[static fjord]

a wyvern is a wyvern, pick whatever you think is coolest because in the end its still going to have a very good baseline

[sweet nebula]

I typically tried stealing a wyvern egg with lymantria/moth and regret my life

[atomic plinth]

LOL

[slate widget]

unless you are playing PvP, its all preference as they all can kill anything pretty much 😂

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, wyvern are waaaay too op lol

[placid sundial]

Drops are just a hideous mess, and levels are tedious. I suppose mass-whitelisting engrams fall into that too
I do understand spawns for their comparative complexity, especially without experience. They're not so awful I don't wanna touch them though, so i prefer doing them by hand myself

[atomic plinth]

rock drake better

[sweet nebula]

Well on my island gameplay red drops are comparable with green drops

[regal yarrow]

Hmm, rockdrakes have very limited use cases lol

[atomic plinth]

island sucks

needs a rework

[static fjord]

island is better than a lot of maps imo

[slate widget]

don't diss my rock drakes

[atomic plinth]

nah, they are just way cooler

[atomic plinth]

like what? the center?

[static fjord]

not having new dinos and items != bad.
island still has a very solid progression, bossfights and a nice balance of biomes

[static fjord]

literally look at gen 2, ci, rag, centre etc and tell me island doesnt have a juicy af progression

[atomic plinth]

but what are the maps that are worse than it?

[regal yarrow]

I could live with drakes coming back in ark2, but I don't want to see wyvern again lol

[slate widget]

yes.

[regal yarrow]

Ragnarok

[sweet nebula]

Is the rockdrake a
dragon ?
Yes/No

[silent matrix]

No

[slate widget]

its as much of a dragon as a wyvern

[atomic plinth]

rag is better than the island

[placid sundial]

Rag, Ci, Centre, valg, rag, Ext imo, did I mention rag?

[regal yarrow]

Rag was only good when it was the only map with everything

[silent matrix]

Opinion my man, opinion

[placid sundial]

Rag was only good because it was the only map with everything

Not because it had good design.

[static fjord]

rag just took the island, reordered biomes and pasted a bit of scorched then proceeded to destroy progression.

[placid sundial]

They asked for opinion

[silent matrix]

Now lost island/fjordur are good maps 😎

[regal yarrow]

Yes, this

[placid sundial]

Lost Island is the only Island-Style map I'd play over Island itself

[slate widget]

the lost island fog tho :P

[silent matrix]

Same, i love lost island

[atomic plinth]

fjordur and abb are always the best

[placid sundial]

While also making some pretty jarring decisions in its design too. the desert.. the desert

[atomic plinth]

yeah, rag has bad progression, but nice design to me

[regal yarrow]

Lost island is really good. It just didn't take off for pvp because people were expecting easy element lol

[silent matrix]

Annoying as shit, but you do get a huge map with almost everything

[static fjord]

may i add though that i do like how rag attempted to subvert the early game playstyle with equuses and rockarrots but then they just destroyed everything else because equus arent meant as a fresh tame

[silent matrix]

I absolutely hate abb

[regal yarrow]

You are joking right? It is a copy paste of random biomes in no particular order lol

[slate widget]

yeah, fjordur or lost island for me :P
always gonna go with fjordur as it has shadowmanes and rock drakes tho 😂

[sweet nebula]

Well i guess the island is less frustrating than any other map

[atomic plinth]

lost island is good, but has too much forests, but i never played it much

[atomic plinth]

why, its amazing

[placid sundial]

Fjordur I'd probably place around Island, Fjordur didn't click with me yet but the design is pretty, just feels washed out

[silent matrix]

Well i dont think so? If you think it is fine thats okay with me dude, lmao

[placid sundial]

Wym, dunes next to deep ocean next to stretched wall of ''rock'' next to -60 degrees snow is peak map design /s

[atomic plinth]

im just asking why

whats bad in abb

[silent matrix]

Fjordur feels like all life got sucked out of it

[static fjord]

my one biggest issue with fjordur is the fact that it seems like its making up for the fact that theres a total of 4 biomes in 120 km² of map by just being big as hell

[silent matrix]

I dislike the creatures, the already made structures, just the design overall

[static fjord]

forest isnt cool if you make an entire map out of it

[slate widget]

most of fjordur isn't forest

[static fjord]

midgard:

[placid sundial]

Honestly equus not being accessible earlygame is a genuine issue imo, by the time you can get equus you can get so many better tames

[slate widget]

yeah, most isn't forest 🤷 the deino area. volcano, all the mountains. most isn't forest

[silent matrix]

Vanaheim on fjordur is pretty though

[regal yarrow]

Well whichever way you look at it, fjordur is by far the best community map ever made lol

[placid sundial]

Aka, The Genesis 2 Issue

[static fjord]

yeah but i feel like theres a big difference between early game and spawning into the map and getting what is meant to be a solid early-mid game creature and just dominating

[regal yarrow]

The autumn cave has tons of horses

[atomic plinth]

my tierlist looks like this: fjordur, abb, lost island, rag, island, ca and the rest i have not played on much

[placid sundial]

A looot of midgard feels very samey to me, which contributes to the blandness that the washed out lighting contributes

[static fjord]

wow such diversity, i really liked the mountains and it felt totally different with all the forest nearby

[silent matrix]

Its not the problem of being found rarely, the crops are

[lyric narwhal]

holy shit

they actually fixed a godmode exploit

I'm crying with joy

[placid sundial]

And it's odd it feels so samey because there are a lot of different biomes, but.. it does

Maybe it's the fact that there's huge bodies of water separating half of them, and the others are up the top

[lyric narwhal]

Ark maps need layer depth

[slate widget]

most of the island is forest if you go by that 😂 besides scorched and extinction which by name are deserts or wasteland, is a forest :P

[regal yarrow]

The crops are easy to get though

[lyric narwhal]

Ark maps

with like, way bigger cave systems

[silent matrix]

Depends what map

[lyric narwhal]

huge underground cavern

[placid sundial]

On Fjordur yep

[regal yarrow]

On fjordur

[atomic plinth]

Who can agree?

[placid sundial]

CA?

[lyric narwhal]

from best to worst?

[atomic plinth]

yes

[slate widget]

fjordur has all the crops on the map right?

[placid sundial]

Honestly I've seen lists I disagree with more so

[regal yarrow]

Yeah

[lyric narwhal]

I'd defo rate extinction as the worst DLC

[atomic plinth]

maybe i placed ca a bit too high

[lyric narwhal]

scorched is the 2nd worst

[slate widget]

really weird for progression :P

[silent matrix]

Oh it is about fjordur? Ye theh are eash to get there, but i was more thinking of other maps, most just the canon maps

[regal yarrow]

The worst paid one yeah, but ci and rag are worse overall

[silent matrix]

I like scorched earth though, XD

[atomic plinth]

nooo its quite fun if you like dying

[tacit glacier]

I think the steam reviews for it aren't good

[lyric narwhal]

rags better

CI is the worst DLC ever added to the game

[atomic plinth]

where fjordur?

[silent matrix]

Thats bc other people dislike it, i like it because of the way it completely changes your gameplay, and a lot of new engrams

[lyric narwhal]

Both visually, optimization and playability

Crystal Isles is so poorly optimized

[regal yarrow]

This ordering would be good if fjordur was right before or after ab lol

[placid sundial]

Oops that's old actually. i missed li

[lyric narwhal]

RTX 3070 max settings but view distance on low at one spot on crystal I get 30fps

Turn foliage density off? 70-80

[tacit glacier]

Abberation does that too and that was a good one to play.

[static fjord]

i feel like half the people who despise scorched earth havent actually played the map and just followed along with what people said said lol.

[lyric narwhal]

Scorched is bland

It has a good central cave thats it

[silent matrix]

True, but rock drakes

[atomic plinth]

true

[static fjord]

it really isnt

[lyric narwhal]

Aberration is such a pain to transfer off of

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, scorched is only bad if you are doing pvp with new dlc stuff

[lyric narwhal]

Scorched is fine in pvp

Central cave is decent

[static fjord]

actual subbiomes in it which makes it feel like theres proper progression

[regal yarrow]

Hmm, it doesn't have many good base spots that are defensible

[placid sundial]

Ab>G1>LI>SE>G2>Island>Fjordur?>Ext>Valg>Centre>Rag>CI

[lyric narwhal]

Centre and valg???? really?

[placid sundial]

There we go, updated. I'm still really not sure where to place fjordur tbh

[void spruce]

Hello guys

[lyric narwhal]

Centre Valg and Rag are definitely better than extinction

[placid sundial]

Best to worst. Ab best, CI worse

[atomic plinth]

island before fjordur? what the hell?

[lyric narwhal]

Also I'd rate gen2 pretty low

[regal yarrow]

Fjordur deserves a higher spot on the list. At least for the fundamentally improved progression and the cool ocean

[tacit glacier]

Maybe nostalgia?

[atomic plinth]

yes, progression destroyed

[placid sundial]

Fjordur doesn't vibe with me. Island does. The feel of the map conflicts with the visuals so I really don't know where to put it

[ancient steppe]

What are you talking about now

[placid sundial]

It's pretty but I wouldn't play it over LI, so it won't go as the 'Best Island-Style map'. And on my Noflyers, I'd rather stick to Island than swap to fjordur. Just because of feel

[atomic plinth]

@placid sundial i kinda agree, i would just place fjordur rught after abb

[regal yarrow]

The biggest thing making me like fjordur is how it changed progression to boss fights. It's not just breed breed breed fight final boss. It actually has a lot of replayability that other maps just lack

[atomic plinth]

yes, true that

[placid sundial]

That's fair

[lyric narwhal]

Gen2 gives tek suit on spawn removing the exploration aspect to the map and making it feel way smaller than it actually is

[bronze frigate]

when does pax event endwhen does pax event endwhen does pax event endwhen does pax event endwhen does pax event endwhen does pax event endwhen does pax event endwhen does pax event endwhen does pax event end

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, gen2 is huge, but free tek suit makes it feel smaller than the island

[placid sundial]

Gen2 is pretty, really pretty. Nice map to build and breed on.
Though I also have a lot of critisisms with variety and difficulty, so.. hm. Below li.

[ancient steppe]

Do you do terlist maps in the ark?

[void spruce]

guys

[atomic plinth]

ok, gotta go, need to take care of my little brother, bye

[sacred vector]

Ok, whom do I ping again to let them know something's off with the Ark community wiki? We're supposed to be getting ONE dinosaur. It says 2.

[void spruce]

Have you started a new pocalypse wipe?

[long flicker]

me with my
ab = g1 = g2 = li = se = fjordur = ext = valg = centre = rag > = ci

[void spruce]

.

[lyric narwhal]

yea

[placid sundial]

Feel. Fjordur doesn't have the feel that most other maps do. I know it's vague as fuck

[wispy frigate]

Which wiki are you looking at?

[long flicker]

gen 2 is 120 sq kilomtres iirc

[lyric narwhal]

Also Gen2 is completely pay2win on pvp clusters

[silent matrix]

Question is the official thing about island the x3 right?

[lyric narwhal]

tek suit chainsaw slot cap of wood, slot cap of tons of things

plus tek buildings from the drops

[wispy frigate]

I agree
Fjordur is fun but its kinda missing that feel

[silent matrix]

does anyone know how long the x3 event is gonne last????

[real ore]

@heavy cedar how long is the 3x for ?

[regal yarrow]

I get that. It is probably one of the most unique maps just with how some of the progression goes.

[placid sundial]

@tawny wasp

[tacit glacier]

Once ppl get flyers on any map, the world will definitely seem smaller. Except for abberation with no flyers...until you get rock drakes, but then that's usually later in the game though

[sacred vector]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/ARK_Survival_Evolved_Wiki then look to the recently revealed creatures. It says 2 yet to be revealed. And wasn't it clear we were only getting ONE creature?

[placid sundial]

Yeah, that's very true. I suppose I haven't mentioned that I haven't played it much through yet (coop, schedules + corona has meant progression is very slow lol)

So I don't have as full a picture yet of it as most of the other maps, my current ranking is based mainly off of midgard and what I've seen of asgard

[silent matrix]

Can you confirm if it's true?

[regal yarrow]

Vanaheim is cool

[wispy frigate]

Aight yeah alex/someone will probably change that

[silent matrix]

Wasnt a creature gonna be added this year? If so, what map?

[placid sundial]

I took a quick look in the plant realm to test some spawns

[wispy frigate]

But also, its a wiki
If you see something you know is wrong, you’re more than welcome to add it yourself

Just please try to fact check it first

[placid sundial]

Didn't look properly because I wanted to explore naturally. Haven't seen the snow one yet

[slate widget]

they haven't said what map(s) the Carcharodontosaurus is going to

[placid sundial]

you can't edit the front page

[wispy frigate]

Ah really?

[slate widget]

snow one is cold

[placid sundial]

yeah, main page would be a prime target for vandals otherwise

[regal yarrow]

The snow one is a bit of a let down. Instead ofnl the -100 it's only - 40

[silent matrix]

Thanks for the heads up, was about to jump in a jaquzzi with snow

[placid sundial]

The temperature is colder than the rest of the map, in farenheit?

Or is that compared to the mod version?

[wispy frigate]

Mod version was -90c

[slate widget]

why do you want it colder? isn't it already hard to survive in there 😂

[regal yarrow]

Yeah I was looking forward to it being miserable lol

[placid sundial]

Requiring wyvern milk would have been interesting

[regal yarrow]

I want to see more extreme weather effects and conditions in ark lol

[placid sundial]

One of the reasons I loved Ab so much

The environment actually wants to kill you

[ancient steppe]

You talk about ice wywerns or about the biome

[harsh salmon]

So there's an event, and I can't find ANY info on it other than the patch notes? Wtf?

[tacit glacier]

Yeah it's very easy to die there

[slate widget]

we'll get more info in the crunch

[ancient steppe]

Tornado that kills all of your dodo army

[slate widget]

its likely just the rates and colors tho 🤷

[regal yarrow]

Even just getting sick from the rain would be cool lol

[tacit glacier]

So an additional effect besides free water and I think it cools you down slightly? I don't remember.

[slate widget]

rain makes you cold yes :P

[regal yarrow]

Any additional affects to any weather lol

[silent matrix]

Surprises every day

[static fjord]

weather effects that adds challenge, not annoyance + a way to counteract during endgame would be cool

[regal yarrow]

If we actually had to survive in environments like that, weather would play a huge part in anything. The fact that it is basically just written off is a pet peeve of mine lol

[tacit glacier]

Usually the extremes are kept in isolated zones on maps rather than daily stuff and commutes

[slate widget]

except scorched where they are so rare. it doesn't really matter

[warm coyote]

Charachter size does not have anything to do with hitboxes right?

[static fjord]

imo scorched weather events are top tier but just need that little bit of reworking to have:

• a way to counter act at end game
• desert cloth adding a 'bonus' that removes some of the quirks that scorched has, like water evaporation. starting at a low buff and increases with quality

[regal yarrow]

It does affect hit boxes yes

[warm coyote]

Bruhhhh

[slate widget]

desert cloth does do that tho doesn't it?

[static fjord]

no.

[warm coyote]

Bro said no.

[static fjord]

desert goggles makes sandstorms bearable and thats great, but it should also allow sprinting and that'd solve the "counter act at end game" issue with them

[slate widget]

The armor lists weapon damage as a stat bonus. This is a misleading Ark tool-tip and instead it applies to water consumption reduction.

says that on the wiki

[static fjord]

desert cloth doesnt have weapon damage anymore tho, unless they changed it to be invisible.

[slate widget]

likely invisible I doubt they'd remove it.

[static fjord]

only armour ive seen that counter acts water evaporation is ghillie

[tacit glacier]

Doesn't the hazard suit have some heat protection too that would not make you dehydrate as fast too?

[slate widget]

yeah, so does the tek suit.

[static fjord]

it does, but i dont think hyperthermal insulation correlates to water evaporation on scorched

[feral narwhal]

What colors is this pax event supposed to have? The one just announced this morning

[slate widget]

the list will likely be in the crunch

[tacit glacier]

I haven't had the liberty of using a tek suit yet...

[static fjord]

tek suit is weird for me
cant live with or without it.

[regal yarrow]

There is no liberty of having a tek suit, it just makes people move to caves lol

[slate widget]

not everybody plays PvP 🙂

[tacit glacier]

Really? Howso?

[sweet nebula]

Guys is win 10 version different from steam

[slate widget]

tek suit itself doesn't have people moving to caves think they mean tek rifles or something

[slate widget]

yes

[sweet nebula]

What is it

[slate widget]

win10 is xbox. steam is epic/stadia (steam has mods)

[sweet nebula]

Yes, Anything Other Then MODS

[static fjord]

win10 cant crossplay with steam, only with itself and xbox

[sweet nebula]

A year ago, i purchased windows 10 survival edition, when ark (steam ver.) Was free i got it

@static fjord i meant gameplay Wise, Just like mc bedrock and java

[tawny wasp]

should be fixed now

[slate widget]

just like bedrock and java. small bug differences and control differences

[tawny wasp]

creature fell out of the database and got back in now. not sure how.

[regal yarrow]

Unless you have friends playing Xbox that you want to play with, you should really get steam instead of win10

[sweet nebula]

Well at win 10 no severs show at all

[slate widget]

most gameplay changes are the same but there are some settings that are different.

[slate widget]

update was just released.

[sweet nebula]

Still no

[slate widget]

the servers need to update

[sweet nebula]

Or it may changed i didn't play win 10 for a few months now

So do we need to buy the dlc on steam to play dlcs ?

[slate widget]

yes. the free maps also need to be claimed and downloaded. steam's full game size is also twice as big as win10 at over 400GB 😂

[sweet nebula]

I have 2 laptops. One is 1tb and the other is 300gb

I keep asking myself, why is the PT And quetz are skittish

They are pterosaurs, they have some advantages over some week survivals

That sucks man

Jw:d quetzal Was A flying tank

Pteras would be too op on the beaches, not really sure why quetzals don’t attack tho. My guess is they’re meant for you to need a fast mount to tame them

[sweet nebula]

Well jwd battles ark creatures,
Like the THERI that killed The GIGA
Or the quetz that destroyed the plane

[wispy frigate]

Well jwd is a movie about dinosaurs
Ark is a game that has dinosaurs in it
Theres a really big difference

[sweet nebula]

But the giga in jwd is a joke,
Duh?
THERI

I cant believe how weak was that giga

[tacit glacier]

Isn't this like a spoiler for those that haven't seen it? Spoiler tag maybe aha?

[tough yarrow]

Could be moved to #general, JWD isn't ark

[sweet nebula]

Ok sorry

[tacit glacier]

I was going to say that too

[tough yarrow]

Again, separate things lol ones a movie, one is the game in this topic.

[sweet nebula]

Is the maewing a carnivore

Or a herbivore

[tough yarrow]

Eats berries

[copper bear]

what's the best free ark map that you guys suggest playing

I'm thinking abt fjor

[tough yarrow]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Maewing

[sweet nebula]

Ok thanks

[tough yarrow]

Fjordur has most dlc content

[copper bear]

(I only want to play 1 cuz the game is way too heavy if there are multiple maps downloaded"

[sweet nebula]

I recommend ragnarock

Its easy not to many things

[copper bear]

what has the most diverse creature species

[sweet nebula]

Fjordur

[tough yarrow]

Fjordur

[copper bear]

ok then fjor it is

[sweet nebula]

@copper bear but watch out, it is insanely hard

[copper bear]

it's fiiiine

[sweet nebula]

So why is everyone less active

[limber current]

Omnivore

[tacit glacier]

What do you mean?

[sweet nebula]

Not many people chatting

Its boring here

[tacit glacier]

I'm working atm

[stable mist]

Anyone got a official raid they need help with

[tough yarrow]

Because this is ark and most offtopic is in #general.

[tough yarrow]

#pvp-discussion maybe

[inland jay]

how do i convert element dust into shards and element

[ivory pond]

Via inventory

[slate widget]

you need the unstable element engram. should be learnable on ext, gen2, lost island, and fjordur

[inland jay]

think im hell in ot better off switching my nase over go gen 2 for Elements
