[slate widget]

thats why. change harvest health to 1

[orchid frost]

i put the setting for this uneven number thing in 2 files

[slate widget]

harvest health at 2 halves your harvest amount per hit

[orchid frost]

didnt know where it belonged

theres game.ini and gameusersettings.ini

in game.ini i know you put egg hatching speed etc

[slate widget]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration this tells you where most settings go

[orchid frost]

oh ok

lets see

[warm coyote]

How do i draw things on war map? Is it even possible

[static fjord]

paint brush

[warm coyote]

Oooh i need to hit it with it i see

Where do i get color tho

Lol

[sweet nebula]

Hey when I change my
usegamesettings difficultyoffset to for example 2, when i play singleplayer and logout, the difficulty resets to 1

[orchid frost]

didnt find anything with clamp ressource or optimized farming

[slate widget]

both are there
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=UseOptimizedHarvestingHealth
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=ClampResourceHarvestDamage

[orchid frost]

oh lmao the red ones

[sweet nebula]

So no one is gonna help me ?

[slate widget]

don't change offset change the difficulty. guide in the pins #bobs-with-probs

WTS mehs beds gen2

[quick coral]

hi

[orchid frost]

yep i did but harvesting is still times 1 even tho it is put to 3 in the config. Im trying to fix it right now

[slate widget]

change the harvesting health to 1?

[ionic lintel]

how much time should i starve a karki in x1?

[orchid frost]

before i was on another server where the trees and stuff had much more health and still higher farming rate

[slate widget]

if you change the harvesting health, the harvesting multiplier doesn't show per hit.
harvesting health at 2 means it has twice as much health. harvesting multiplier changes the total amount given not per hit.
so instead of being 3.0 harvesting amount per hit, its 1.5 :P

[orchid frost]

interesting

[orchid frost]

thats a bit confusing ngl

[slate widget]

the amount you get is essentially the % of health you did to the node. so more health on the node = less per hit.

[orchid frost]

oooooh

i see. i put harvest health to 2 and amount to 4 so it will be 2

hope that works

it works

its 2 times now

[slate widget]

yeah, if you do a ton of damage to the node. you'll still get the 4x amount tho :P as unless you clamp there is no max damage

[orchid frost]

thank you so much i really didnt know that

[grim forum]

anyone know if the scorched earth ascension is already in the game?

[slate widget]

its not

[grim forum]

is there any date for it yet

[slate widget]

not that I know of. most likely at or after october 24th as thats when the switch version gets it

[fluid pivot]

So, finished the drawing i did and im kinda meh on it

[fluid pivot]

I might redraw it and try and make it better

[warm coyote]

Obsidian is also from mountains right?

[fluid pivot]

Mountains and some caves

Does anyone know if primitive plus is still glitched to where no creatures spawn

[warm coyote]

BECAUSE ITS PURE WHITE calls it hedwig.

[placid sundial]

The owls are lovely ❤️

[errant shore]

I have 2 Who-Dini and Hedwig

Who-Dini is sorta blue

[north tiger]

is the decaying dodorex actually dying or is this a bug?

[errant shore]

Dodorex doesnt stay forever

[vagrant cape]

i swear every patch adds a bug taht needs to be fixed by another patch, that ads a bug, that needs to be fixed by anotehr patch.... ad infinitum

[slate widget]

snowls are the best

[chrome current]

This game probably has the most spaghetti code of any game I've ever played lmao

[north slate]

the real problem is the file size bloat

and optmization

[fair wyvern]

I love snow owls

[barren grove]

When are carchars out?

[slate widget]

no date yet

[barren grove]

K thx

[chrome current]

Yea that too

Which is why I'm hoping with ark 2 at the bare minimum they make it less of a mess in terms of the optimisation

[north slate]

like for me the game is 385.93GB

[slate widget]

thats a lot of mods

[north slate]

not that many mods

[slate widget]

the game is 400GB

its not 4000GB 😂

[fair wyvern]

lmao

[chrome current]

How tf does it get that bad

[north slate]

i miss typed an extra number but yea the game i feel for what it is with all its dlcs it too big

[vagrant cape]

thats fine, i have my 18TB hard drive, ready if i need it

[north slate]

and thats only with 3 extra mods

[slate widget]

ark on steam/epic is over 430GB with all DLC I think

[north slate]

well then my mods must be deleteing some fies cause im at 385.93 with all dlc and 3 mods

[vagrant cape]

Ark 2 in 5 years will prob be about 1TB

[slate widget]

got all of the free DLC?

[wheat cave]

is there a list for the pax event colours?

[north slate]

[tulip willow]

Will ark get updates after ark 2 release

[fluid pivot]

Probably not

Maybe some bug fixes at most

[slate widget]

yeah, few if any :P

[tulip willow]

😦

[slate widget]

playstation won't even get ark 2 on release

[tulip willow]

I know

[chrome current]

Atleast it's finally gonna give me a reason to buy gamepass

[tulip willow]

I just hope that we don’t get another fnaf security breach

[elfin hearth]

On the plus side, ARK 2 could theoretically inspire ARK modders to create ARK versions of ARK 2 things.
On second thought, UE 5 will probably be way too compelling.

[fluid pivot]

The last few things coming to ark that we know of are bug fixes, scorched earth ascension, audio over the explorer notes, openings for every map, and the carcharodontosaurus being added to possibly all maps

[north slate]

i have everything but the
ark: extinction - expansion pack
ark: aberration - expansion pack
ark: scorched earth - expansion pack
primitive+ ark total conversion
ark: survival evolved original sound track
ark: expansion packs original soundtrack
ark: genesis part 1 original soundtrack
ark: genesis part 2 original soundtrack

[slate widget]

lol you're missing 3 of the DLC no wonder its not the full size

[north slate]

what 3

[slate widget]

ark: extinction - expansion pack
ark: aberration - expansion pack
ark: scorched earth - expansion pack

[north slate]

i think i got them with one of the other one cause it came bundled

[slate widget]

you download those separate

scorched, aberration, extinction.

[north slate]

hold on ill open my game

@slate widget yea i already have them

[slate widget]

thought you said they weren't downloaded?

[north slate]

apparently the game gave them to be when i downloaded one of the other dlc

[slate widget]

then the game should be 430~ GB

I'm not including the sound tracks :P as those aren't under DLC in the library

[fluid pivot]

I forgot how big ark is

[slate widget]

they show there regardless

try playing them

[north slate]

oh well thats dumb

and yea i dont have them

ok so then why the hell does the store show them as NA -_-

[slate widget]

you buy them in the bundle

you download them by themselves

[north slate]

i already have the game i shouldnt have to use a bunddle to get them i should be able to buy them one at a time if i want

[slate widget]

used to, they changed it 🤷

[proud grove]

Me: How much RAM do I need?
ARK: How much RAM you got?

Currently ARK is using up 8.7 GB of my RAM.

[slate widget]

only using 2GB of my ram I turned pretty much all my settings down as my GPU sucks tho lol

[naive lodge]

In the new dino’s explorer note what is it in comparison to? If thats a Rex it looks to be bigger than the giga?

[silent matrix]

we don't know, but it was confirmed to be slightly smaller than a giga

[slate widget]

I think its a carno

a weird carno but still a carno

[fair wyvern]

Some nondescript carnivore

[silent matrix]

doesn't have the arms

[slate widget]

doesn't have the rex arms either its just weird

[north slate]

ok the more i look at this the more i hate it

[fair wyvern]

Hate what

[north slate]

each map dlc is 9.99 thats 27.97
but if i buy the pack with the music i get them cheaper but i have to buy songs that i dont want

[naive lodge]

You should get the dlcs thats where the fun is

[slate widget]

just ignore the songs lol

[north slate]

steam is a game player not a music player shit like that shouldnt be on steam if i want the song the devs can make it downloadable on there own site

[slate widget]

lol. steam has more than just games.

[peak steppe]

conquest50 off 3h, bug or w?

[warm coyote]

Guys how hard are caves on the island? Are they doable without any mount and without any blueprints armor?

[slate widget]

some of them yes. some of them no

[warm coyote]

I see

[slate widget]

I personally wouldn't do any of the underwater caves without a mount and/or scuba :P

[silent matrix]

what berry has the highest chance to tame creatures againZ?

[warm coyote]

Its fine, do you know exactly which ones are easy?

[slate widget]

mejoberry

[fair wyvern]

Mejoberry gives the best taming effectiveness

[silent matrix]

is that the red one?

[slate widget]

purple

[proud grove]

i rarely do anything on foot

[silent matrix]

ah

i wanna tame a monkey

[warm coyote]

Monke

[slate widget]

I wouldn't say any are easy. but the cave bottom right of the map. is supposed to be done on foot as its parkour :P

there on the map

[warm coyote]

And how are you supposed to do hard caves? With a trex? Lol

[slate widget]

its lava parkour lol so have fun

[warm coyote]

Thanks

[slate widget]

thylas are pretty good. also megatheriums for the bug boost.

[proud grove]

Agile dinos. Better than pure power in these situations.

[warm coyote]

I see

[slate widget]

agile and strong are the best like thylas :P

[icy yew]

I usually run the underwater caves naked theyre Ez

[warm coyote]

Which level is good?

[icy yew]

If you have a good shotgun just use that.

[slate widget]

do you play boosted or something? how do you even get to them unless you boost all oxygen.

[icy yew]

I run an oxygen character

[slate widget]

why

[warm coyote]

I mean level of thylas

[icy yew]

Just useful like u dont need to waste on scuba

[slate widget]

pretty much tame above 135 then compare stats. breed for imprint bonus.

[icy yew]

Usually pump 70 oxygen

And rest goes into crafting skill so i have good gear

[slate widget]

70 levels into oxygen

[warm coyote]

But how? I cannot afford it, he will def kill me before i can knock him out lol

[slate widget]

traps

[proud grove]

scuba is a waste, but 70 levels into oxygen...

[warm coyote]

Interesring

[slate widget]

shoot it off the tree, then have it follow you into a trap.

[warm coyote]

There are many traps tho, which one do you mean

[slate widget]

any that are thyla sized

[warm coyote]

I see

[slate widget]

could use 2 foundations doorframes and a ramp. bunch of dino gates.

pretty much any of them work on a thyla

[warm coyote]

Won't he be able to destroy the walls tho

[slate widget]

can they destroy stone?

[warm coyote]

I dunno bro

[lethal garden]

just started a single player run and i have taming up a good bit so i tamed an itchy the dolphin. and a megalodon tried to attack. i brought it inland and had enough stone in the slingshot and a few tranq arrows. got it knocked and tamed.

[slate widget]

nah, they can only destroy thatch and greenhouse

could even use wood

[warm coyote]

Dam

[proud grove]

could. should?

[warm coyote]

And once am in the trap with him should i like go up the ladder or something

[elfin hearth]

Yeah, Thylas can be tamed just fine in the standard box/ramp trap

[proud grove]

don't be in the trap with it. exit through a door frame

no walls, all door frames

[slate widget]

yeah use doorframes instead of walls. then just run through it

[warm coyote]

Ooooh i see

Very interesting

Thanks yall

[proud grove]

have the back wall opposite the ramp higher, to act like a basketball backboard.

[fluid pivot]

I still laugh remembering how i tamed my quetz without the need of a tapy or a griffin

[elfin hearth]

I sometimes place rails at the top of the doorframes to reduce the chance of escape or trap fail a bit.

[proud grove]

i did the grapple from my ptera thing

[slate widget]

I used a skiff

I shot it while the skiff was holding it

[fluid pivot]

My method was stupid but effective, i led it to my base with honey and led it into a trap it couldnt escape from

[slate widget]

I've done that before with other dinos

[fluid pivot]

It took a bit sense i live at hidden lake but luckily the quetz was up in the north not too far from the hidden lake

[proud grove]

how do you lure a quetz?

[fluid pivot]

It was just a pain due to how much honey i had to use to get it to the base

[slate widget]

rare flowers also work right?

[fluid pivot]

No

[slate widget]

thought even passive dinos attack when you use it

[fluid pivot]

Rare flowers sadly dont work on them, honey is the only method to lead them down to the ground

[slate widget]

very strange :P

[fluid pivot]

I dont know why rare flowers dont work

[fair wyvern]

Flower doesn’t work on quetz

[slate widget]

seems they just made them immune for no reason :P

[fluid pivot]

I guess they didnt want people to cheese tame quetz's even though theyre kinda useless now

[slate widget]

wouldn't say useless.

almost useless is a better way

[fluid pivot]

The only reason most tamed one long ago was due to the idea of a sky base but now without the flier speed leveling without servers enabling it, it just makes quetzals mediocre to stuff like the argy

[slate widget]

can't skybase on an argy

[fluid pivot]

The only use for quetzals are when youre taming the desert titan and thats pretty much it

[fair wyvern]

I think I’ve only ever tamed a quetz once

[slate widget]

I've tamed a few

don't think I've really used one tho 😂

[fluid pivot]

Ive tamed 2. Both solo, the first time back when ark was early access and it being fresh in the game and the other is the one i currently own which i named goliath

[void lance]

Every time I collect materials with my Stryder and then enter my inventory, the game starts to lag and then Blue Screens my computer every single time. I have a 3080 graphics card so I know that my pc can handle the game without a single problem graphics wise. But every time I collect berries normally, it will crash my entire pc when I enter the inventory of the stryder. I have the lasted update for my Graphics card, I have tried just running all the settings to low. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions anyone?

[fluid pivot]

Other then that, i never really seen the use for them but now, ima need a good imprinted one when i go tame the desert titan later down the road

[prisma sand]

What CPU are you running?

[fluid pivot]

Dont over harvest with the stryder best advice i can give

[void lance]

I9-11900K

[fluid pivot]

That or link up some tek storage to the stryder and have it auto transfer

[proud grove]

RAM?

[void lance]

But its if I need to drop my inventory

I have 64GB of ram

[prisma sand]

Hmm. I run a 1080ti and an i7 and have never experienced more than slight hiccups while harvesting with stryders. So I doubt it’s hardware. Any mods?

[fluid pivot]

I forget, cant the stryder have multiple storages connected to it and it autotransfer all the items to those boxes?

[prisma sand]

Not vanilla

[void lance]

Its on official server so no mods

I have mods downloaded but obviously not in use with official

[fluid pivot]

So it can only have 1 box connected to it for the transfer?

[prisma sand]

Have you verified files?

[prisma sand]

Yes

[fluid pivot]

That sucks

[void lance]

Thats fair, let me give that a shot

[fluid pivot]

But what exactly are you mass harvesting?

Element?

[void lance]

Fiber, which collects berries as well

[fluid pivot]

Why are you using a stryder to mass harvest fiber?

[void lance]

Puts it right in the dedi

But all the berries dont transfer

So I then go into my inventory because it black boxes

[fluid pivot]

I mean, fair enough but still

[void lance]

So I try to drop all the berries but it just crashes my game every single time

[fluid pivot]

You could use a theri or a moschops to do that and just transfer it over. Yes its slower but its not as risky as blue screening your pc

[void lance]

clock_watchdog_timeout

Thats the error code I get when I blue screen

[prisma sand]

He shouldn’t be blue screening in the first place

[fluid pivot]

And i know the stryder is the best for it, but the blue screening sounds like an issue in general so id say avoid it until you figure out whats causing that issue

[proud grove]

I just collect stone and wood. And then grind to get thatch, fiber, and flint. 2 things is now 5 things.

[void lance]

Ive looked up that error code and it tells me its a drivers problem

[prisma sand]

According to google that’s an issue with your CPU

[void lance]

So it says something about over clocking could affect it

So something like having XMP enabled could cause it?

[fluid pivot]

Over clocking?

[prisma sand]

I’m not sure. Go into unofficial discussion and ask Eclipse is pretty knowledgeable about crashes and their causes. She can probably help you out.

[void lance]

The person named "Ecli"?

[prisma sand]

Yeah

[void lance]

Ok, thank you for your assistance

The carchar is the last dino to come to ark se?

[trail stone]

not just scorched earth

all of ark, every map

[vocal bough]

SE means Survival Evoled as well

[trail stone]

oh lol

but yea it will be

[slate widget]

I have never heard that :P

[trail stone]

I hate having to play singleplayer and resisting the temptation to add godzilla into my game

[slate widget]

Lol

[trail stone]

like when it's an option available it's so hard to just not do it

[slate widget]

just add godzilla

[grim forum]

is it really going to be added to every map

i dont know if it fits to be on a map like abberation

[trail stone]

Maybe not abb but we know it's 100% in genesis and the island

and everywhere else it's never said anything specifically about it not being in other maps

It'll at least be on every map that the giga is available on

since thats the entire purpose of the creature, to kill gigas

[wispy frigate]

is it tho?

Like is that officially mentioned?

[trail stone]

yes in the dossier

[wispy frigate]

Um
Where?

[trail stone]

let me find it

[wispy frigate]

This is the official dossier

Don’t see anything about gigas other than comparing the size

[trail stone]

ok mb guess I was just thinking about the unofficial dossier

either way it's still intended to be a "a giga rival"

they wouldnt throw that line in about it being as big as one for nothing

[wispy frigate]

I would disagree

[grim forum]

isnt it more in between a rex and a giga?

[wispy frigate]

I don’t think “bigger than giga” automatically means giga rival

[trail stone]

It was the 2nd largest theropod of all time historically, and possibly the most deadly, it's going to be as strong as a giga

[wispy frigate]

Not sure if youve noticed but ark is not the most historical game

[trail stone]

I know but they still keep somewhat accuracy when it comes to the dinosaurs

Also why would they not go out with a bang on ark

[wispy frigate]

Do they?

[grim forum]

the giga in real life is similar size to the rex yet in ark its alot larger

[trail stone]

Yea, Rex, Spino (spino was good based on what they knew at the time), bronto, diplo, etc

[trail stone]

yea theres some exceptions

[wispy frigate]

I’m not saying you’re necessarily wrong, I just think you’re making too many assumptions that aren’t supported by confirmations by wildcard

[trail stone]

also the line "a war cry for hells own army" is badass asf and is implying this thing is "hells general" which means it's going to be strong, the samurai lady from the explorer notes consistently calls the giga a demon or a devil, so these things are both monsters

From what I see from the dossier it won't be as outright powerful as a giga but it'll be as big and will have more utility

• it has it's own version of rage mode which is like an exact parallel to the gigas

confirmed for genesis and island

everything else is up to speculation but it'll probably be on all maps except abb

[copper bear]

wait, what map has that

[trail stone]

none yet

just stuff wildcard put out to show us about the char char

[copper bear]

I rmb seeing it on the steam news

[chilly carbon]

Servers still down?!

[prisma sand]

Employers

[tulip pagoda]

I’m looking into running a dedicated server to take the burden off my friends computer. So I’m wondering if doing so will drastically affect WiFi making it unbearably slow.

[bleak wadi]

How do I calculate how many stats are into mele and hp

[fluid pivot]

Imagine an abberant Carcharodontosaurus lol

[prisma sand]

Before tame you can use Dododex after the knockout, after tame you’ll either need a mod or incubator.

[fluid pivot]

Would look super pretty in all honesty but sadly might not be there

[bleak wadi]

Hmm incubator it is as I can't do mods on xbox

[fluid pivot]

To me it sounds like theyre opposite sides of the same coin, the giga being stronger in general but the carcharodontosaurus having utility to become strong enough to take on gigas with its bloodlust mechanic and roar buff

[trail stone]

yea thats pretty much my thoughts exactly

[fluid pivot]

That and the dossier seems to imply they share a similar size and the dossier/helena hopes to god the carcharodontosaurus she fought was an adult sense it rivaled the size of a giga. As for the power of it, its said it can take on medium sized dinos and with its bloodlust mode it can become strong enough to take on large scale threats head on so id say thats a qualification for it to rival gigas slightly

[trail stone]

bravo, you pretty much explained it perfectly

I think without the buff it'll be a tiny bit stronger then a rex or equal, but when it's buffed it's at giga level or slightly under

[fluid pivot]

Id say slightly lower due to it not having a saddle

[trail stone]

judging from the spikes on it's skin it might have the shadowmanes ability where it has like a natural armor and reflects damage? just a thought

ik it's not mentioned in the dossier

[runic tendon]

can tek suit protect from the top of ab?

[fluid pivot]

Maybe that or its like wyverns to where it takes 100% damage

[fluid pivot]

During the day? God no youll insta die

The best way to go to the surface is during the night time when its 50% day 50% night or more recommended, 10% day 90% night

[silent matrix]

it's actually slightly smaller according to a wc tweet

[fluid pivot]

I do have a feeling the tail sweep it has will be a good way to u turn with it which i hope is a thing

[trail stone]

same I am tired of theropods with garbage turn radius

[fluid pivot]

It would make it the perfect large dino to be like 'ight ima head out'

But i will be honest the giga does kinda need a tlc, it hasnt had any love at all sense it first arrived. would be nice to actually fear them again

Instead of seeing them as slight annoyances sense some are on mountains i go to for metal gathering

But then again, the carchara seems to be reigniting my fear reflex sense that thing looks terrifying and i dont wanna know how fast it is. All i do know is i dont want to be anywhere near its jaws sense a near miss can still mess someone up

[elfin hearth]

sense since

[wicked crypt]

is there an app or something to see how many c4s or tek rifle i need to destroy structures?

[fluid pivot]

You know what i meant

[silent matrix]

I am more wondering what maps it will release on

[fluid pivot]

And i think dododex has what youre looking for but might be wrong

[silent matrix]

It did really exist, so i would love to see it on the island

[fluid pivot]

Its definitely on gen 1 and by the sound of it its on the island too sense im guessing helena wrote the dossier on the island. Seems the most likely and i doubt theyll add it to a free dlc map sense Fjordur seemed to be the last one

[silent matrix]

Could also just be a giga thingy and appear on most maps. But by the sound of it, they will spawn in swamp biomes?

[fluid pivot]

And if i recall on twitter they said its not gonna be a map specific dino. Might be wrong on that but that implies its on multiple maps

Most likely the swamp and the volcano biomes. The snow is also likely but i doubt it

[silent matrix]

I would highly doubt it it would have the same spawns as a giganoto

[fluid pivot]

If i recall gigas dont even spawn on gen 1, they originally did via the tek giga in the lunar biome but they cut them out of the game

[silent matrix]

But if it appears in swamp biomes, it would be terrifying. Swamp biomes now are not even THAT dangerous. Not like you could just live there, but imagine a giga comparible dino guarding the swamps.

[fluid pivot]

We do have a brute tek giga though. That and we also had an x dragon so there was quite a bit of cut content in gen 1 that we never got to see

That would be terrifying yeah, however the more i think about it the more i realize, the gigas arent on scorched earth or aberration. The carchara could possibly fill in its role on those maps for apex predator. That and on gen 1 sense to my knowledge theres no gigas on gen 1

[misty turtle]

Carcha in Ab?

Sound weird

[fluid pivot]

Yeah, id imagine it would be within the blue zone mostly

[misty turtle]

Apex predator you mean

Reaper sad

[fluid pivot]

Of course it would be competing with the reapers but id imagine the aberrant carchara would be avoiding reapers as best it can while in the blue zone and id imagine reapers would do the same

That or they pull a fast one on us and the aberrant carcharas are either on red zone or in the green zone because screw us

[silent matrix]

Also, how do i pronounce it? I say it as 🚙char as in charcoal, or do i just say 🚙 🚙

[misty turtle]

And in the concept art they make for carcha in Gen1 doesnt mean it will release on Gen1, dont take thing serious until they announcement

[misty turtle]

They not even say carcha have other version yet

[fluid pivot]

I pronounce it as Car car a

[misty turtle]

Ab, X, R

[silent matrix]

Makes more sense, lol

[fluid pivot]

They dont even have to give it varients, atleast on genesis it doesnt look like a varient

If its on aberration its probably gonna have an aberrant varient if it is a thing there which i got a feeling it MIGHT be

[silent matrix]

I really do hope they make it a all-map dino like the giga, because i would be really sad if it only appeared on one/few

[misty turtle]

Not even rex in Ab and you think they will add carcha in Ab

[silent matrix]

Why not? A normal apex predator would fit in perfectly

[fluid pivot]

Rexes were replaced by the spinos on aberration thats why

[misty turtle]

They say that before it will be a base creature so it mostly will be in most of the map you have right now

[fluid pivot]

Not to mention most likely the rexes all went extinct due to the reapers and the spinos

[elfin hearth]

Car-care-o-donto-saurus

[silent matrix]

Fr?

[misty turtle]

So you tell me reaper and spino coop kill all rex?

[silent matrix]

Yes. Rex would spawn in both places where reapers are and spinos, so they both just kill it. Not co-op

[fluid pivot]

Granted they didnt work together to kill them off but they both are the highest tier predators to take down rexes not to mention the surface's conditions plus the radiation down below? Yeaaaah the rexes dont have any kind of way to live on that ark

[misty turtle]

It just not fit a creature that have ability to fight a gigan exist in Ab

[misty turtle]

Why not rex kill spino?

[silent matrix]

Dawg dont think in a logical sense.

[fluid pivot]

Whats comparable to a giga on aberration?... a reaper queen, boom have a aberrant carchara be its competitor

[silent matrix]

+if there was less rex per spino, they could totally beat their ass

[misty turtle]

Reaper cant even fight will gigan

[elfin hearth]

According to google's pronunciation thingy, yeah

[silent matrix]

Well thats new

[misty turtle]

You think reaper queen can fight a wild gigan?

[limber moth]

because jp3 fans

[fluid pivot]

Not a wild one but a tamed one

Wild gigas are beyond op but the reaper queen does have the hard defense if theres no light pet active near it

[silent matrix]

Dude, i search it up and this is my result

Carcharodontosaurus Pronunciation. Car·char·o·don·tosaurus.

Thanks google

[elfin hearth]

Yep that is what I was going for

[misty turtle]

You just say reaper queen...

[elfin hearth]

I heard "care" though

[fluid pivot]

What i meant was something comparible to a giga on aberration i didnt say a reaper queen can kill a giga

[silent matrix]

Ye, i watched the youtube video and they said it like that. It was just a result in text i recieved, which doesnt help a lot

[fluid pivot]

Reaper queens are basically aberrations version of a giga while the reaper kings are the rexes of the map in terms of comparisons and what roles they fill on that map

[limber moth]

as far as stats go, surface kings are the nearest thing to an ab giga, specially the alphas

I mean look at their dps

[misty turtle]

Nope

They weak, what kind of nearest gigan can be kill by a rockdrake

[fluid pivot]

Meh alpha reaper kings are more closer to alpha rex level

[limber moth]

could say the same thing of queens

[misty turtle]

Yeah like i say before reaper no where near gigan

[limber moth]

that's why they're the nearest, not the 1:1 equivalent

[fluid pivot]

The only thing that makes them harder is their defenses and the alpha bonus it gives to other reapers

[misty turtle]

No near

The % carcha add to Ab for me is low af

same with Genesis 1

[fluid pivot]

Bruh we literally seen it on the gen 1 map in a screenshot

Well not a screenshot

[limber moth]

where would they spawn in the bog

[fluid pivot]

Art piece? Is that the right term for it?

[elfin hearth]

the short name I'm going with is "carcharo" (but I have a feeling everyone else will be saying "carcha")

[limber moth]

render

[fluid pivot]

Thank you

But anyways it was on a render of the gen 1 map, its highly likely its on that map, its definitely on the island and its medium chance to be on scorched and aberration. Aberration slightly less then scorched though

[prisma sand]

Anything other than “carcar” is incorrect

[elfin hearth]

heh

[limber moth]

if they're not on SE I'm gonna be sad

even better, I'll add the spawn myself

[misty turtle]

Can you find for me any placein gen1 have bunch of gigan skeleton in Swamp, also it a concept art dont take it serious

[fluid pivot]

Ima bet they are sense we dont have any giga level danger on scorched

[limber moth]

a desert dino not spawning in the desert would be lame

[misty turtle]

Concept art is just for showcase

[fluid pivot]

Wasnt it more in swampy lands though sense it shared territory with the spino?

[misty turtle]

No one know because no one live when it alive and this is a video game they can add spawn wherever they think it fit

[limber moth]

as much as a desert dino as spino was, you know

egyptian dinos and stuff

[fluid pivot]

They hypothesized the spinos main territory was marshlands and carchara skeletons were found nearby where the spino was so its highly likely the carchara is built for swampy territory

[limber moth]

not that they lived in an absolute desert, but SE is the most home map for them in a way

the name Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus is there for a reason

[misty turtle]

archeology chat

[fluid pivot]

So the carchara being in gen 1' bog isnt too outlandish. Same with aberration sense some parts of aberration are swampy somewhat

[misty turtle]

[limber moth]

the issue for me is that both ab and gen1 bog have too little room for someone like carcha

all ab zones already feel cramped with so many dinos and resources around, specially the blue

[misty turtle]

You realize that now?

[fluid pivot]

So the best locals possible to maybe find the carchara are in these areas on the maps

Island: the swamps
Scorched: the dunes or rex canyons
Aberration: Green zones rivers and blue zone
Extinction: Maybe in the swampy river where the megalosaurs, megalania, and sarcos are
Gen 1: the bog and maybe the volcano biomes
Gen 2: the north side of the corrupt ring maybe

[limber moth]

you know they're going to dump them in mountain and monster island spawners don't you

if they were going for the realistic habitat mosas wouldn't be at the bottom of the ocean

[fluid pivot]

Maybe but the idea of them actually putting the carchara in its natural habitats would be nice to see

[limber moth]

it is a good standalone server idea to do that for all dinos, but by default they'll just include carche in the general rule

[fluid pivot]

I hope not

[limber moth]

spawn big carnivores where big carnivores spawn

[fluid pivot]

It would give fear to the swamp again and would be another reason to go there besides leeches and tribute gathering

[misty turtle]

You do realize spino and karkinos take all river ab right

[fluid pivot]

Yes and?

[misty turtle]

How that fit

[limber moth]

wouldn't be a good idea to include something like THAT in ab river containers

[misty turtle]

A creature can "go bigger than gigan"

[limber moth]

spinos and crabs share the container with fishes of all things, the zone would be cramped with carchas unless fixed

[misty turtle]

A creature can compare to gigan spawn in all river

[fluid pivot]

Go bigger then giga? At most its the same size maybe smaller

That and id imagine the carchara would be a limited spawn like the giga

[misty turtle]

A zone suppose to be safe zone turn into dead zone

[fluid pivot]

At most 3 per map maybe

[misty turtle]

Read dossie

[limber moth]

basilisks were always a thing, fertile was never a safe starter zone

[misty turtle]

Not sure what size they have ingame

[fluid pivot]

Helena isnt sure if she fought against an adult or not that doesnt mean it can get bigger

[misty turtle]

But they not spawn that many and you can avoid most of them if look carefully

[limber moth]

in a tweet they said carcha is a tad smaller than a giga

[fluid pivot]

Same with the carchara

Look carefully and you can see the goliath and gtfo

[limber moth]

open larkator, there's at least one basilisk for every player spawn zone minimum

[fluid pivot]

And its likely one of those spawns has an alpha basilisk

[misty turtle]

Never met that many of them in Green zone

Alpha basilisk is a joke

[fluid pivot]

For people starting out its not

[limber moth]

lucky you I guess

[misty turtle]

Then why you even want to add more dangerous thing in that zone

[fluid pivot]

The carchara would be at most either a 1 to 3 spawn on aberration, most likely a 1 spawn sense it would get crazy if all three spawned in green zone

[fluid pivot]

To make it more interesting not to mention i didnt just say in green zone but also blue zone

[misty turtle]

For open map like island, SE sure carcha will be fit, but for a map that a cave limit i dont think it fit same with gen1

[limber moth]

if there's a chance that carchy enters ab, it won't be a fertile spawn for sure

[misty turtle]

Ab and Gen1 not fit

[fluid pivot]

In green zone if you can tame it you can have something powerful enough to guide you through the red zone

[fluid pivot]

[misty turtle]

Dude it can compare to a gigan and you say just tame it sound easy

[fluid pivot]

That goes the same for if its in blue zone

[misty turtle]

You say tame in green zone

[limber moth]

they can drop them a spawn for them at gen1 volcano just fine, but bog feels way too open for it

[misty turtle]

💀

[fluid pivot]

If youre saying all the alphas are a joke then it shouldnt be an issue for you then

[misty turtle]

Joke in mean here is it super rare to spawn, it like a myth

Alpha basilisk

[fluid pivot]

Not my kind of luck, had one spawn in portal

[misty turtle]

There ton of people play this game alot and not even see alpha basilisk yet

Nor know they exist

[limber moth]

doubt

[grand badger]

saw one on fjördur yesterday

[fluid pivot]

Yeah that's a high doubt right there chief

Mostly on aberration

[limber moth]

basilisk is everyone's ab entry

[misty turtle]

Alpha one

Not normal one

[limber moth]

alpha one sure

[fluid pivot]

Ive had experiences to where i ran into both alpha basilisks and karkinos close to one another

The only alpha i barely seen is an alpha reaper king

[limber moth]

they all spawn meshed after all

[misty turtle]

Alpha reaper have spawn point

You can just go to the location to see if they spawn

[fluid pivot]

Mainly because i dont go to the surface much

Mainly because im scared the game still thinks the surface is in the day time and ill die instantly

[misty turtle]

[fluid pivot]

Ive had that happen to me

[misty turtle]

What day you go up the surface

[fluid pivot]

It was late in the night during 10% day 90% night and there was still fire up there and i just get cooked instantly

[limber moth]

there's no troubleshoot for that unfortunately, just never relog at the surface and try to not crash

[misty turtle]

Alway go up with the day have number 6 like 46 76

[fluid pivot]

Im guessing that was just a heavy glitch

[misty turtle]

You can go up sooner than normal

[limber moth]

old known bug

[fluid pivot]

Yeaaaah

Thats why im very timid about the surface, i dont want to lose my gear while trying to loot grind and get the reaper king barb

[limber moth]

usually it only happens if you quit the game and relog on the surface, shouldn't happen otherwise

just blitz through the surface on a drake quickly and you're fine

[fluid pivot]

I didnt even relog on the surface i head up, and i just see fire and my friends like "thats a funky visual glitch" and i glide in with my rockdrake and i juet die instantly and my friend gtfos sense he wasnt taking any changes after what happened with me

That and if i recall my friend was being harassed by seekers sense he turned his lightpet on

[limber moth]

I've had a couple close surface daytime escapes and that never happened to me

why would he be worrying with seekers of all things while mounted on a drake

[fluid pivot]

I just glided straight in. It wasnt insta death but i couldnt u turn due to me diving to a rockside so i died first then my rockdrake

[limber moth]

doesn't sound like the bug I mentioned, looks like you just ran out of time

[fluid pivot]

The seekers attack the shoulder pet on your shoulder and he was attached to his shoulder pet

[fluid pivot]

No it was middle of the night

[limber moth]

still, drake speed

[fluid pivot]

I was diving straight and i was panicking so i couldnt get out in time

[limber moth]

night finishes at 5:30

[fluid pivot]

I dont remember the exact time of when that event happened so i dont fully recall if that was the moment but then again i dont remenber if it even was 10% day 90% night sense its been so long sense that happened

[limber moth]

why, try it again now then

do a tour with a roll rat

[fluid pivot]

Im not on aberration rn, im still on the island, im doing the maps in order

[limber moth]

drakes are also breedable now if you're worried about losing yours

[fluid pivot]

I just gotta get a bunch of high level eggs and hope for the best stats

[silent matrix]

Abberant moment make pc go brrrrrrrrr

[limber moth]

I see, have fun doing that

[fluid pivot]

Atleast whenever i go to aberration

But back to the main discussion

[placid plover]

why does absolutely none of my installed dlc work 💀

[fluid pivot]

I personally see the carchara being on aberration mainly because it would both A. still fit its role of being a normal tier apex ignoring the things below and B. The carchara's main habitat's in real life were desert and marshland/swamps and aberration has areas similar to that of swamps so it fits there decently well even though most sections are very narrow so it may make the carchara unable to move and or spawn but then again, i have a feeling it would just be in the upper blue zone to lower blue zone areas

[limber moth]

room to walk isn't the issue, just a fitting place for a new powerhouse of a tame, it's more about placing them into a hard to achieve zone

only place I can think of is either drake trench or deep into the red zone

[fluid pivot]

Blue zone seems the most fitting sense theres not too many major issues minus karkinos and megalos so having the carchara there would seem the most fitting. If it was down in the red zone it would be dealing with not just the reapers and drakes but also element rivers which would just kill it

[limber moth]

that's the idea

that's the reason gigas spawn in mountains, wyv eggs are grabbed in the trench, reaper pregnancy is a thing and so on

the environment plays a role whether something is eligible to be achieved by someone willing to work hard for it

[fluid pivot]

Ehhh i think the red zone has enough reason to go down there, blue zone doesnt have much reason to go there, having somewhere there that is powerful enough to help you down in red zone is a good idea to me atleast

[limber moth]

blue zone has more than enough reason: all metal and polymer you could ever want, plus it's the red zone intermediary

oh, and megalos

[fluid pivot]

That and the idea of hells general leading you through the hell that is red zone is oddly symbolic to me

[limber moth]

but crabs and megalos and spinos are already there for that, this symbolism exists and is already occupied

[fluid pivot]

Megalos mostly being the main thing and polys pretty much everywhere in green zone. So the main things for blue zone is metal and megalos

The carchara dossier basically calls it hells general so its fitting to me that the carchara would be in blue zone as a technical guard dog to keep you out of red zone until you tame it or get rid of it

[limber moth]

I just don't see wildcard dropping them in the blue zone

fertile even less

[fluid pivot]

I do, its more fitting then them being in such a harsh area like red zone

[lapis wigeon]

Does anyone know if there is a bug in the reproduction of the dinos since I play in official and since yesterday it does not let me get eggs

[fluid pivot]

And i do ageee on the green zone, i originally thought they could be there sense theres nothing majorly big but that would cause issues for everyone in green zone so blue zone would be slightly more fitting of a zone

[fluid pivot]

It happens to me in single player. I just relog but im not sure how to fix it on official servers

[lapis wigeon]

I hope it will be solved since I will not be able to take advantage of the event T_T

[fluid pivot]

Hopefully its fixed

Anyways, with blue zone, out of all the zones on aberration, blue zone is the most swampy in comparison to green zone so id say its fitting Hells General guards blue zones lower levels near the start of red zone. That and between the 3 zones, blue zone is the most lively yet harsh of the three enviroments of aberration. Red zone is overly harsh with reapers and nameless as well as the other carnivores but in blue zone theres a fair bit of herbivores and small carnivores for it to snack on

[limber moth]

we'll see

[brittle mauve]

I'm kinda curious about the specificity of the term "exploit" in the patch notes- it might be that it's being used in the broader sense to mean bugs, but either way it's gotten me genuinely curious as to the history the game may have concerning bugs and exploits; anyone familiar with any of note?

I'm ever the sucker for silly game Bethesda Brandᵀᴹ features.

[fluid pivot]

All i remember was back when gen 2 released there used to be a duping exploit they fixed and also banned a huge tribe for them abusing the heck out of the duping exploit

[silent matrix]

Am i doing something wrong? I am taming a ferox, and when i get close it does say i am taming it, but in the taming tracker it doesnt appear i made any progress

[fluid pivot]

Tame tracker might be bugged

Just keep feeding it and see what happens

[prisma sand]

I’ve seen the icon it puts on the tame read zero the entire time during taming but when I open the actual taming tab in the menu it shows accurate.

[silent matrix]

Weird

Oh well, the close up taming thing does show i am making progress, so i will just trust that

[limber current]

When i was taming feroxes the tame tracker was accurate only during the small ferox phase

[silent matrix]

Ye for me too

[fluid pivot]

Theyre gonna need to fix that sooner or later

[limber moth]

it shows 0% when they're big, then back to current progress when they revert back to small again

[silent matrix]

Is addiction on a ferox a good or bad thing?

[burnt flint]

Is there a way to get the old ark HUD back

[turbid leaf]

It costs more element to transform, and maintain the big form, but it gets increased melee damage.

[silent matrix]

Hm. If i cryo, does the addiction go away?

+how do i feed it

Does it eat a specific food?

[proud grove]

what is the default amount of slots in obelisk ark data?

[turbid leaf]

Pauses it I think.

[turbid leaf]

It just eats meat.

[silent matrix]

how do i feed it element though, do i just need to use it near it?

[turbid leaf]

For taming it you feed it by putting element in your hotbar and using it nearby, I'm not sure if it changes once tamed. Walk up to it and if there isn't a "press triangle to feed" then it's probably the same as wild.

[silent matrix]

I already tamed it lol

Oh, only read the first part

[turbid leaf]

Also they need to be very addicted to breed. Forgot that part.

[proud grove]

sometimes when I'm taming they multiply and I can only tame the correct one. I have four of them hanging around outside my base that I can't tame.

[visual wing]

Whenevern I get close to casteroids, they're skin just glitches out on my screen. Is this a common bug?

[mint topaz]

can someone tell me why i cant see some of the free maps in the store

[celest meteor]

Some are found only within the game, as updates

[mint topaz]

i cant see valguero in the store page

i sent ss in #fanart-and-screenshots

[tranquil geyser]

Just type valguero the same way you found ark

[mint topaz]

it doesnt show

[tranquil geyser]

Eh okay

[mint topaz]

nah it kinda worked

[celest meteor]

Why are you searching for it? It should be accessible from the game

[tranquil geyser]

Because the free maps you need to download them if you want to play on them

[celest meteor]

You sure? I was able to play them without any download, not from Steam at least. Might have come as a game update

[tranquil geyser]

Well on steam you got to download them

[celest meteor]

I am on Steam...

[mint topaz]

ohhhhhhhhh they made the maps mature content

and i had the settings off where it showed me those

[celest meteor]

Oh, I see. For Valguero it takes me to Valguero's Steam page when I press play

[tranquil geyser]

Probably because you don't have it downloaded

[mint topaz]

that clearly tells you are new to ark

[celest meteor]

Not to Ark no, but I've only played on Steam for a year haha

[mint topaz]

well i have played on steam for only 2 months

[celest meteor]

I've played all Story Arks, but of the non story Arks only Fjördur and the Center plus some mod maps. I don't remember having to download them, but that's probably just me misremembering. Apologies for the false info

[proud grove]

anyone know the spawn command for reaper helmet skin? Everything I've found doesn't work. Other helmets skins work.

[mystic sand]

Heya gang, how long will the PAX 3x event be going for?

[misty turtle]

Check #announcements

[misty turtle]

It default skin you get from buy Ab right?

[static fjord]

i think its from buying it pre release though im not sure
i dont get it from spawning in but i bought ab post release.

[misty turtle]

I have it i think

It say you get it when buy seasonpass

[static fjord]

maybe im just blind

[misty turtle]

You may miss it

It too many skin when you turn on default stuffwhen respawn

💀

[warm coyote]

What even are all those skin for

How do you even use them lol

[static fjord]

you put them on the proper piece of armour and now it looks different

[warm coyote]

I see

[static fjord]

e.g, reaper helmet skin can only be put on helmet and it turns it into a reaper.
kinda self explanatory

[golden spruce]

what key to click if I don't see eq?

[silent matrix]

Salut des fr??

[static fjord]

english only.

[silent matrix]

If you dont see what?

[zealous void]

uh.. scorched earth is harder then I thought

[silent matrix]

Obviously

[upbeat harbor]

If you get a high lv thyla and a decent saddle you can get everything you need in a few hours

[static fjord]

arguably 2nd hardest map lol.

[silent matrix]

Salut cherche serveur

[silent matrix]

Still enjoyable though

[zealous void]

this is not a french server

désoler

[silent matrix]

This is an english server.

[static fjord]

yeah, i think challenging is better than easy.

[silent matrix]

Really is

[zealous void]

but I'm a noob tho

[silent matrix]

Then i would say play the island/one of the dlc maps

[zealous void]

I would if I could transfer my island save file

[static fjord]

the island is the best map to learn how to play the game

[long flicker]

agreed, island is the best map for starting off

[silent matrix]

I guess, no difficult tames, only 2 types, no hard challanges in weather etc, passive beaches, overall basic, but good map

[zealous void]

"passive beaches"
spino flashbacks

[silent matrix]

They are not frequent, finding one is more of an oppertunity to tame one rather than serious danger

[zealous void]

what's the best starting zone is scorched earth?

[silent matrix]

The closest you can get to the green obelisk

There is water beneath there

[static fjord]

midlands

green obelisk is far too dangerous to start off in, the water has kapros

[zealous void]

what number

[static fjord]

any.

find a place in midlands with a water vein/source and build up there, shouldnt be too hard since theres plenty
close to green obelisk too for later on.

oh also top tip, punching cactus replenishes your water bar.

[zealous void]

I give up

"oh wow, I finally found water"
sabertooth watching from the corner

[static fjord]

bolas are your friend.

[prisma sand]

Shoulda tamed it

[zealous void]

I was not high level enough

[zealous void]

How do you think I would have done that

[prisma sand]

Hit and run tactics lol

[zealous void]

I'll try my chance with extinction

[celest meteor]

That's how I tamed my first tame haha. A turtle

[prisma sand]

Don’t be a quitter!

[zealous void]

I'll be a quitter if I want

[celest meteor]

Hey, don't give up! Scorched is a fun map, the beginning is just a little difficult. It becomes easier quite quick.

[glacial swan]

Hello, a question if I am lvl 100 and summon a boss and my friend is lvlv 80, can he enter?

[tacit glacier]

Anyone know if Skoll and hati's dmg output gets boosted over time for fjordur? Seems they hit like 34 dmg to me but when my friend went out with the same dinos on their own, they were hitting them for over 200 dmg each.

[celest meteor]

I don't know of any maps with an easy start for new players though, and Extinction is difficult in the long run

[static fjord]

the island

[celest meteor]

Trust me, not forgiving for new players. But it's the easiest for experienced ones for sure

[prisma sand]

Quitters don’t get good. You wanna get good at Ark you gotta straight up eat the shit. Over and over again, just gotta keep throwing yourself at the meat grinder until your friends and family question your mental health. Your ole lady will start questioning you about potentially being a masochist.

[static fjord]

if the island isnt forgiving for new players then what the hell is

[prisma sand]

Yeah

[glacial swan]

@prisma sand thanks 😉

[static fjord]

this is how ark works
you go 1 step forward and 2 steps back except for that lucky time you go 2 steps forward and 1 back, then its all up from there.

[ancient badge]

no, if it has level req, like alpha dragon the island

[celest meteor]

nothing

[long flicker]

it's relatively forgiving

[celest meteor]

Like fireballs said, it's a meat grinder

[glacial swan]

It would be the boss of Valguero I am lvl 100 I summon him and my friend lvl 80 enters the area

[static fjord]

i mean tbf everything is going to be carcinogenic when youre playing for the first time but by far the least carcinogenic would be the island

[prisma sand]

There is no map that’s forgiving for new players. You’re gonna get eaten until you learn to survive. Don’t touch this, stay away from that, tickle chickens are evil, the works.

[celest meteor]

Either that or the Center

You have to learn to become a survivor

[static fjord]

would you rather die 5 times to the local raptor in the neighbourhood or dehydrate yourself 50 times over in a desert or get high on mushrooms.

one of these options isnt good but its better than the rest.

[silent matrix]

Those are games i like, improving by learning, not improving by game guides

[buoyant bone]

are tribes allowed to use their tribe name to link a discord? or is that bannable? lol... i was helping afriend on another server and saw they put our tribe name as a discord link

[celest meteor]

More like
2 times to the beach resting dilos
7 times to the raptor guarding your corpse
3 times to the troodons when it becomes night
4 times to pirahna when crossing the river
1 time to the baryonyx also in the river
8 times to the same baryonyx because it got up on land
3 more times to the dilos that found your sorry arse after all that

[static fjord]

still less than dehydrating in a desert 50 times over.

[celest meteor]

Oh yes

But far from forgiving

[soft bane]

Anyone know howlong this event is lasting for?

[celest meteor]

A week I think

[static fjord]

but like in the end, after you die from that dilo then you'd realize that when it does the spitty animation to get out of the way. the skill ceiling is far lower and you'd learn far faster contrary to scorched earth where screw you L and now you died.

[prisma sand]

1 time to the Theri that totally looks like a nice guy

[celest meteor]

Felt that

[silent matrix]

Big dodo with nails

[celest meteor]

Rip Phil the phiomia, destroyed by a fellow herbivore

His sacrifice taught me to avoid them if I wanted to live

[static fjord]

the island theris are scary and all but have you seen gen 1 arctic theris lol.

[prisma sand]

So many good tames have been lost to Theri while just casually minding their own business

[celest meteor]

Yeah, bloody invisible

[static fjord]

excluding the fact that they have solid camoflauge, theres always like 3 theris staring you down at any given moment

[celest meteor]

Haha, yeah

[long flicker]

relative

[long flicker]

3? rookie numbers

[silent matrix]

April fools update: theri now runs away after you hit it like a dodo, slow, and flapping its arms. Dodos, now come after you and kill Phil the phiomia

[static fjord]

at minimum*

[long flicker]

lmaooo

[celest meteor]

Don't like the sound of that one

[static fjord]

basically thanks giving turkeys in a nutshell

[silent matrix]

What the fuck, that guy in #735196277221883964

[static fjord]

what he sayin, i cant see in there.

[proud grove]

spawned new character on Fjordur, at night and raining. It's freezing everywhere. Have about 2minutes until you freeze to death. If I were new to this game and didn't know what to do I'd hate this game.

[silent matrix]

If you want free nude, check my bio

[static fjord]

lmao

[celest meteor]

Yeah, it's best to start with a friend tbh. Learn together. Most of us didn't though

[proud grove]

i know what I'm doing and I'm still struggling. Ark.

[silent matrix]

I started ark with 2 friends, absolutely amazing. Cheering for knocking down a pteranodon, making war tactics for taming a parasaur, absolute prime time

[celest meteor]

Would have been fun 😌

[prisma sand]

Ark is a lot more fun before you know what you’re doing

[celest meteor]

In a sense, yes. I think it was the most fun when you start getting the hang of stuff, but there is still so much more to see

I would do quite a bit to go back to that time again

Honestly, if I could just... erase the Ark knowledge me and my friends have, and start all over, I'd be up for it. Problem is just, there isn't much time for learning a difficult game anymore

[silent matrix]

I am not even that good, there is still a lot of tactic for me to learn

[celest meteor]

Saddening in a way. But it's been fun to watch the game grow, evolve, and evolve with it

[celest meteor]

I wish you luck on your future Ark journeys

[prisma sand]

Soon Ark 2 will drop and none of us will know shit again. Just a bunch of bobs.

[celest meteor]

Can't wait for that haha

Running around trying to figure out how to get fibre again

[silent matrix]

Though that wont be completely the case, since we still have basic gaming knowledge

[prisma sand]

That will 100 percent be the case

[silent matrix]

Wish i could go back to the time where i could barely game at all

[static fjord]

suffering from success

[golden spruce]

can you somehow speed up the ability to make an attachment and not wait almost 2 hours?

[celest meteor]

Unfortunately yeah. The game will still have it's similarities, and we are going to expect it to work like ARK. Gonna have to shake that off. The player base will still be the same, at least in the start (some rushing to become alpha on PvP servers)

And for many, me included, our gamer brains have been made by Ark. Gamer brains can never be erased

[silent matrix]

Ark surely made me the gamer i am today

Together with mario galaxy

[celest meteor]

For me, it's Ark, Minecraft and Terraria

Don't really play Minecraft anymore, but it certainly sparked my love for building things in games

[prisma sand]

Halo, champions of Norath, morrowind and legend of Zelda made me the gamer I am today. Ark….Well Ark made me a man.

[silent matrix]

My dad had a wii before i was born, so i just started to grow up with it. Most nintendo games made my childhood, like mario and skylanders

[static fjord]

were you of the opposite gender before ark turned you into a man.

[prisma sand]

I was just a boy

[silent matrix]

Ark made me trans /j

[celest meteor]

I have never owned a console, played a few games (roms) on a very old laptop lol. Eventually got Minecraft Pocket Edition, and became a mobile gamer. Always dreamed of having a PC, and finally bought one last year. Massive upgrade :)

[chrome current]

Is there a way to make a waypoint at my current location or do I need to make a gps

[silent matrix]

I never owned a pc XD

[prisma sand]

Press P with your map open

[silent matrix]

Ye, yo ass need a gps or just rond it up.

[silent matrix]

That makes an instant waypoint where you are?

[prisma sand]

It puts a pin on your map

[chrome current]

Yea I know but it asks for my longitude and latitude

[celest meteor]

I think you have to put the coordinates in manually, so a GPS is still handy

[silent matrix]

Dawg i need that button for console now :p

[celest meteor]

Write "P" on your controller

[prisma sand]

Just guesstimate

[silent matrix]

Ye i ll use the touchpad to draw a P

[prisma sand]

The .3 .7 aren’t gonna make a difference

[silent matrix]

Omg skylanders was my life

[chrome current]

Yea alright ig

[prisma sand]

Oh wow you’re a young one

I remember when the wii was coming out

You’ve probably never even heard of a GameCube

[celest meteor]

Ancient times haha

[silent matrix]

I know lol

[silent matrix]

Ofc i did

I am not like those kids who only play 10 games

[prisma sand]

You ever had to take the cartridge out and blow in it until you got light headed? These were the real struggles.

[celest meteor]

2006... not very ancient apparently

[silent matrix]

Heard of it, lol. No i had more struggles with not getting scratches on my discs

[potent maple]

is there an event on rn?

[prisma sand]

Back in my day we couldn’t even save our progress. You either beat the game in one sitting or started from scratch.

Memory cards were a godsend

[valid stone]

Ark, Minecraft, and People Playground for me. Ark is just incredibly replay able, I must have 4000+ hours now on both epic and steam, and same with minecraft. In people playground though I just like finding elaborate ways to kill humans XD.

[silent matrix]

Damn.

[worthy pagoda]

When X3 ending?

[silent matrix]

People playground isnt that old right? Is it?

[proud grove]

i don't remember fjordur being this hard

[prisma sand]

Kids these days have it so easy…. Now get off my lawn! shakes cane

[valid stone]

I think it came out in 2019

[silent matrix]

It did

[silent matrix]

But did you ever have your sister try to make a disc clean with the wrong side of a sponge?

[celest meteor]

Hey, I'll mow your lawn :D

but I require a 40 bucks pay check each time

[silent matrix]

40 rn for the pre-release, 20 dollars for story mode and 40 for additional dlcs

[valid stone]

daaaaaaaadd, it's so unfair old mckilligan stiffed me!!

[prisma sand]

Nah. My sister just broke my games cause she was mad at me. She didn’t even have the decency to try and cover it up.

[celest meteor]

My sister bit me

Make a few campfires or standing torches, light them and drop the eggs nearby. Make sure they are fertilized

[prisma sand]

My sisters friend once hit me in the head with a duffle bag. 14 stitches and a concussion later we realized that there was an 8 inch speaker in said duffle bag.

[celest meteor]

Woah

[proud grove]

a wild fjordhawk has my death bag

[prisma sand]

First time in my life I seen stars

[celest meteor]

I didn't know kids could be that badly behaved

[silent matrix]

Oh ye, she did that too, my mario kart

[proud grove]

it won't let me have my bag

[celest meteor]

Like, that's next level

[celest meteor]

"Shoot her!"

[silent matrix]

My sister also broke my ds XD

[prisma sand]

Sisters are the worst

[silent matrix]

She kept it in her room, forgot about it, had many, many books stacked on top of it, so ye it wasnt in the best condition after

[celest meteor]

Brothers aren't much better

But they are loved anyway

[prisma sand]

I didn’t have any of those.

[silent matrix]

I just have 1 sister

[prisma sand]

I think I would have preferred a brother though. At least I would be able to lay my hands on him all the way into adulthood.

My sister gets to play the whole don’t hit women card since we were 12

[silent matrix]

Ye so i have a little sister, so she is just annoying and everything that happens is my fault

Little sisters have a very strong weapon: tears

[celest meteor]

I didn't fight back until late into my childhood. Then I started to, and she got off me a few years later. Number one target became my younger brother

Easier to annoy a ten year old, ay

[prisma sand]

It was the same for me. Sister kicked my ass every day of my life until I was about 12 and fought back. Then all of a sudden dads all like “don’t hit your sister she’s a girl”

[silent matrix]

I dont hit her, i just throw her away

[celest meteor]

Yeah... it do be like dat

[silent matrix]

Might be getting a lil off-topic

[celest meteor]

No no, all this happened in Ark, trust me!

[warm coyote]

Is there a suggestion channel or something

[silent matrix]

From ark, to me being young, to little sisters

[silent matrix]

Dodomail, i would say

[warm coyote]

Mmmh

[prisma sand]

We were discussing life, Ark is life. On topic

[proud grove]

at this rate, it might take me two days just to get to an obelisk

[warm coyote]

Oh wait so dododex is actually official website?

[prisma sand]

No. Dodo mail here in the discord

[warm coyote]

I see

[silent matrix]

No

Swipe right, top user is dodomail

Just dm

[warm coyote]

Its very strange that there is no manual about the favourite foods of animals, how did they think we would be tame animals with just the game

I mean if dododex wouldn't be a thing

[warm coyote]

Alr

[silent matrix]

Because they want you to try things, figure it out yourself. Not give a full guide

[warm coyote]

I see

[cerulean girder]

Bruh I fell asleep and lost my health mutation baby and my melee mutation baby monkeys

Stupid

[warm coyote]

Bro's angry

[silent matrix]

Why would you mutate monkeys-

The gigapithicus does need a make-over though

[warm coyote]

Because monke

Bruh the description of dodomail says no

Lol

[cerulean girder]

Monkes op

[silent matrix]

Wdym

[silent matrix]

What an amazing dream you having

[warm coyote]

I mean that i cannot do in game requests there

[silent matrix]

Oh, i thought you wanted to do a discord suggestion

What even was your suggestion?

[cerulean girder]

Nah mate im just doing what I want. my game my decisions

[prisma sand]

Dinopithicus

[warm coyote]

I wanted to suggest to being able to use torch while using pickaxe or axe or anything one hand

[prisma sand]

It’s the last year of Ark 1 support man. It’s likely to late for that.

[silent matrix]

Oh ye that one exists too

[warm coyote]

Dam

They should first release ark 2 and only after a while ark 2 is released end support for ark 1, not everyone will buy straight up ark 2

[proud grove]

attempt 14 at getting to an obelisk

[silent matrix]

What the fuck is you doing

[proud grove]

new character on fjordur

[silent matrix]

Why do you need to reach an obelisk?

[proud grove]

to get my uploads

[silent matrix]

Just tame a quick ptera/pelagornis

[proud grove]

i'm level 12

[honest pond]

Hello! I don't usually speak here and this is a totally dif topic than what y'all are on and I'm sorry but I'm not finding answers. I know it's a noob question most likely but maybe someone will know and not make me feel dumb 😅. I raised a couple fjord hawks recently and I noticed that when cryopodded they have a bar or something and idk what it means 😂

[cerulean girder]

But no gigantopithecus is meh wild but bred up it’s actually underrated af

So it’s my side project basically

[prisma sand]

Cryopod charge. It lasts 30 day real time if it dies any tame in it dies too.

[silent matrix]

Can you dm me a pick?

[honest pond]

Yeah cause it's not the charge I don't think

[warm coyote]

What a crap of a person is someone if they actually take fun of you wth

I hope that never happened here that someone got made fun of just cause he is new

[cerulean girder]

Still so stupid of me to fall asleep with 2 mutated babies coming out smh

[silent matrix]

You got a picture?

[honest pond]

I've not been made fun of here but it happens lol

[warm coyote]

Dam

[cerulean girder]

@silent matrix mine get to 5k health and 450% melee after imprint they’re decent bro don’t hate monke

[silent matrix]

Which monke

+450% melee isnt a whole lot

[cerulean girder]

Giganto, am also breeding dinopithecus

Ik but they’re wild tames that we’re just mutagend

No mutations yet cuz I fell asleep Like a moron lol

[plucky forge]

Hi! Is there a channel where I can get technical help or advice?

[silent matrix]

#bobs-with-probs

[plucky forge]

Thanks!

[severe matrix]

Hey
Wild drakes can be tranq right?

My server is doing a little contest of seeing who can KO the highest lvl possible

[silent matrix]

Everything can be tranqed except for bosses, as far is i xan remember

[neon oar]

Is full tek armor or ascendant flak armor better?

[severe matrix]

Ascendant flak is far better thsm tek
In term of defense

[neon oar]

what about overall

for gen2 missions

[silent matrix]

Tek is better on gen2, no element needed, flying around

[neon oar]

alr

[proud grove]

anyone want to start a new character, get to an obelisk on fjordur asap, and tell me how?

[limber current]

Some cant, like reaper queens

[silent matrix]

Cool to know

[static fjord]

depends on the flak, ascendant is a very general description
that being said, flak is already arguably better than tek because its so much cheaper to repair

[neon oar]

idc about price

[valid stone]

yes

[static fjord]

then get the tek because the abilities are better than anything a flak set can do.

[silent matrix]

You playing on gen2 right?

[neon oar]

yes

[silent matrix]

Tek suit Costs nothing then, use the tek suit

[neon oar]

is it worth charging the suit?

[silent matrix]

No

[neon oar]

alr

[silent matrix]

On gen2 not, at least. There are no really cold or hot biomes

[neon oar]

what is the best mission i should farm

for hexagons and bps

[silent matrix]

All of them, lol
You wont get hexagons a second time, right? Or am i saying something stupid

[neon oar]

idk

[static fjord]

you do.

[silent matrix]

Oh

Then i would say the maewing one, easy and quick

[raw rune]

Do you spawn with skins on official?

[static fjord]

if you do it enough times, i think it either gives you less hexagons or just gives you nothing

[neon oar]

alpha only?

[silent matrix]

Just do races in general

[static fjord]

i did alpha king of swing like 50 times in a row and at some point i got no hexagons
