ark-survival-ascended

[carmine condor]

How can i activate the event in singlplayer?

[velvet flame]

The person is lore spoilers, and the cutscene was mostly just the first cutscene that was to show that there are multiple arks, that there is something weird going on and that you're being sent to a new ark

[icy fractal]

Ah

[velvet flame]

Im actually scratching my head thinking of how to explain who that is, without ruining half the story

[icy fractal]

Also wth was that dino at the end of the tek cave?

[velvet flame]

The shapeshifter?

[icy fractal]

No

[undone osprey]

Who plays with me

[sly pelican]

What’s y’all talking bout

[icy fractal]

The one that guards the door to the boss arena

[velvet flame]

The rolling robots that look like a rip off of the droidekas from star wars?

[sly pelican]

Giga?

[icy fractal]

It had glowing red eyes and was constantly drooling

[velvet flame]

Oh the giga sized dino?

[icy fractal]

I managed to see that it's name started with a c

[velvet flame]

Carg-something

That's a new dino that got added less than a month ago, it was made to counter gigas

[inner gale]

carcharodontosaurus or something

[sly pelican]

Yeah

[fair wyvern]

car charger

[sly pelican]

Basically a giga on roids

[icy fractal]

Definitely how i felt

[inner gale]

but with 10k less health

[sly pelican]

Yeah

[velvet flame]

The more it kills the more it buffs

[sly pelican]

And like stupid damage

[low juniper]

It’s extremely unbalanced, it’s already raging gigas. I have no clue if they just didn’t do testing for it or what. But the fact that it has no glaring debuff like gigas rage mechanic and only an extremely powerful puff shows that the devs are pve bobs.

[velvet flame]

I imaging once people breed it to max stats, gigas will be put to the wayside

[low juniper]

They’re already nearly there despite being hundreds of melee points and hp lower

🗿

A month / 2 month old breeding line of carchars shouldn’t be able to fight the culmination of multiple years of breeding

[velvet flame]

I can't wait to get one and use it on oebitals

[sly pelican]

Fr fr

[icy fractal]

Where do they spawn for taming purposes

[velvet flame]

Anywhere a giga can spawn

Apparently when they spawn you can find a giga corpse nearby, I have no idea how true that is

[sly pelican]

High mountainsides and I have seen it only once (the giga corpse that is)

[silver nova]

What commands give flight

[sly pelican]

The fly command

Admincheat fly I’am pretty sure

[silver nova]

Actually nvm, is there a command thatll heal me full?

[sly pelican]

Yeah there is I don’t remember it off the top my head tho

I think it’s just admincheat refillstats

Ps works on tames also just have to be riding them

[calm igloo]

how can i deactivate the controller vibration on ark during fights?

[silver nova]

What commands give items

[agile perch]

Can i somehow change the colors of wild dinos that appear

Since Christmas event started,dinos started spawning in weird colors

I cant stand taming green-red dire bears

[fair wyvern]

-ActiveEvent=None

[silent matrix]

What is the most fun map (i dont have genesis) single player

[fair wyvern]

Fjordur is fun imo

[tight crown]

how do i make a modded private server that me and my friends can play on?

[left smelt]

Can u net things in the primal fear?

[errant flare]

Question, is there a way to activate the new years event on single player?

[fair wyvern]

no

[topaz mango]

lol right in middle off murder murder snow on rag 😐

[silver nova]

How to use the spyglass?

[carmine condor]

right click

mouse button

I dont appreciate how WC leaves us singleplayer players behind

[errant flare]

Ya. I actually don't have the ability to get on servers right now. So I was really hoping I could do the event in single player.

[spark sedge]

Oh God star dolphin mission is literally just star fox

[ancient badge]

it just chibis, you can use command code to get all chibis you want in single player 😄

[long flicker]

doesn't have the same feel as hunting for them in a legit event

[errant flare]

Exactly

[long flicker]

I mean I'm not one to talk, I just spawned in the one I wanted and then never hunted for any during any event

the one I wanted also gives me heart attack in the ocean, cnidaria

[spark sedge]

I mean you can activate events the same way on single player as you can on servers

[errant flare]

Looks like I'm gonna have to do that

[long flicker]

the drops don't work, and new year's one doesn't work at all

colours are the only thing that works iirc

[long flicker]

It looks exactly like regular cnidaria so in the ocean I always feel like one snuck up on me because of my chibi

[errant flare]

Well. At least I can hunt down Halloween colors on my switch.

But ya. Guess I'll just have to us commands for the Chibis on switch

Question though for steam. Is there a mod for either hunting or crafting all the Chibis?

[stray dove]

If I got items from Christmas event will I spawn with them

[tough yarrow]

No

[light heart]

Is the newyears event done?

[silent matrix]

hey anyone wanna vc?

[left smelt]

no

[topaz pagoda]

Will there b another new years drop since the first one was bugged?

[tough yarrow]

Yes. #announcements

[topaz pagoda]

When will it b

[tough yarrow]

Read the channel I linked.

[topaz pagoda]

Thank u

[coarse frigate]

For the desert titan fight would having a giga and a few velonasaurs on a quetz platform saddle on agro work , maybe a few dimorfs to destract the swarm?

[meager pier]

why does my magmasaur not smelt?

[carmine condor]

propably no food

[meager pier]

I put rocks in its inv

[carmine condor]

is smelting on?

[meager pier]

yes

it does the animation, but it just doesnt smelt the metal in its inv

[carmine condor]

then its propably a bug

[meager pier]

how do I fix it

[carmine condor]

idk, thats there my knowldge ends

[long flicker]

try cryoing and uncryoing it

ark's equivalent of "turn it on and off"

[carmine condor]

restart game?

[meager pier]

I dont have a cryo, but I can spawn one in for a moment

[meager pier]

tried, doesnt work

[long flicker]

spawning it in should work

[carmine condor]

no cryos but magmsaur

[meager pier]

I'll try

[long flicker]

yeah tbh that's a first

[meager pier]

uhhh yeahhhh

[carmine condor]

are you on fjodur?

[meager pier]

yes

[meager pier]

its cuz I use dyno pickupmod, so I dont need cryos

[carmine condor]

solod the cave with velonsaur?

[long flicker]

DSv2?

[meager pier]

nah rock drake

[meager pier]

dino pickup mod

[long flicker]

I'd suggest DSv2 over any other "cryopod like" mod tbh

[carmine condor]

Dino storage volume two

[meager pier]

what is it

[carmine condor]

better cryopods

[long flicker]

and a LOT more

[meager pier]

nice, cryoed my magmasaur and now its inv is gone

[carmine condor]

its inventory is there you cryod it

[meager pier]

yep ty

its working now! thanks!

[minor holly]

Just had a weird issue on Fjord server. Learned advanced rifle bullet Engram but fabricator claims I havent' learned it. Not a material or fuel issue. Any ideas?

[mighty girder]

does anyone know why i cant launch primal fear it just crashes

[tough yarrow]

Well for one, you have the xbox-win10 role, that's going to confuse a lot of people. As to PF, does your pc have enough ram to run it? Even with 8gb, mine struggled hard. If there is a crash message, copy and paste the first 5 lines in #bobs-with-probs.

[carmine condor]

?

[tough yarrow]

That's like unnecessary and unrelated to this topic and channel, so let's not

[carmine condor]

Ok

[long flicker]

did a message get deleted

[tough yarrow]

One that was unnecessary and unrelated.

[long flicker]

to everything?

[tough yarrow]

Yes.

[delicate anvil]

Generally you can assume the moderators know what they're doing.

[long flicker]

I'm not questioning, I'm asking

that... was an awful word choice

[delicate anvil]

It was. 😛

[long flicker]

eh you get my point

[tough yarrow]

Had nothing to do with ark or the persons question. So yes. Unrelated.

[spark sedge]

Oh boy the astrodelphis race

Oooooh boy.

Its main redeeming quality is the "Try a barrel roll, that's a neat trick!"

[carmine condor]

You should star dolphin then, it also makes a lot of fun.

[spark sedge]

I legitimately enjoyed the star dolphin mission

But the race was not a good oh boy

[carmine condor]

Yeah, i completed the race on gamma and dolphin beta

its definitly harder

[delicate helm]

The 12am eastern standard time new years event was glitched and spawned normal raptor clause presents last night. Will we be getting a re run?

[long flicker]

was "star dolphin" not the race's name

[long flicker]

yes I think

[spark sedge]

Starwing strike is the race

[carmine condor]

starstrike something

[long flicker]

Damn, I remembered wrong

[spark sedge]

Star dolphin is the mission that's a giant Star Fox reference

Star dolphin I think is where all the love in the development of those two missions went and then somebody decided that they already designed the special rail shooter controls might as well build a race around it

And that person was not hugged enough as a child

[gaunt epoch]

Question about the command for the new year event. I've read the announcement and I'm still unclear on how to get it to spawn correctly.

Do we change ActiveEvent=NewYearEvent
Then add those parameters below? Or does it simply go into general settings and we hope for the best?

[long flicker]

#unofficial-setup-help would be best for that

[gaunt epoch]

Ah thank you!

[delicate anvil]

There is a chat for this: #tsotf and #1057387507253256272.

Maybe consider looking into how to give constructive criticism and feedback, just a suggestion.

Suit yourself.

[velvet flame]

I wonder if SOTF will come to console

[delicate anvil]

It will.

[fast ridge]

what is SOTF?

[delicate anvil]

Survival of the fittest.

If you own ARK on Steam, you will have it in your library.

Basically ARK BR.

[fast ridge]

what means BR?

[delicate anvil]

Battle royale.

[fast ridge]

okay thx

[delicate anvil]

Think Fortnite, Warzone.

[silent matrix]

How many people still play steam ark?

[delicate anvil]

Lots? Lol

[silent matrix]

Cool, I used to play Xbox and am switching over 😂

[delicate anvil]

This is the way

[spark sedge]

I have in all my many many many hours of Ark never seen a piranha run away from me

Until I started trying to catch the stupid things to stock up for shadowmane tames

In which case they want nothing to do with me

[long flicker]

I'd suggest steam over xbox because of the ability to use mods

[weak vortex]

Does anyone have experience in taming desert titan?

[white grotto]

ARK 2 But wildcard gives us an Aberration Map before the previous survivors nuked the Observation Deck

[elfin sail]

Omgggg arks on sale?!

For 5 dollars 😱

[white grotto]

yes

for big sale, big sale sale sale

on all games

[elfin sail]

Bro I literally already paid the 50

That’s not fair 😭

[white grotto]

24$ for the ultimate survivor edition

[elfin sail]

I’ll buy genesis tomorrow because I’m too young to have a credit card so I need to buy a steam card

[white grotto]

probably an additional 5-7$ for tax

[elfin sail]

That’s super cheap man

This actually makes me happy

Bro everything is good when it’s almost my birthday like it’s my birthday month

[white grotto]

I still dislike the very day they added tax for digital services

[elfin sail]

Same low key

[white grotto]

i got 100$ in steam cards last week.

i only bought games my cousin had, so we could play together.

[elfin sail]

Share 🥹

Oh dang

So do you not t have enough money left because of the tax added?

[white grotto]

yes

[elfin sail]

That’s annoyingg

Jeez

[elfin sail]

You ain’t able to buy another pass?

[white grotto]

no.

[elfin sail]

How longs the

Thing

[white grotto]

I could've but.. i bought fo76 because it was on sale.

[elfin sail]

I wish I could help man

[urban spoke]

To get the deinonychus dossier do you need to kill one?

[white grotto]

I would need more space.

[eternal merlin]

Bred a Gacha that does Black Pearls, no more Squid Games for me😂

[keen marten]

Gibts hier deutsche auf Ps4?

[white grotto]

what-

Speak again.

but in English.

[keen marten]

Me?

[white grotto]

Yes.

[keen marten]

Im searching for German people on ps4

[elfin sail]

Oh makes sense

I predicted that

Sadly I’m not German

[keen marten]

Yes

[white grotto]

I'm 100% English.

[elfin sail]

I wanna play on like public servers

But I have a trash pc. Anytime I try to join someone it says

[white grotto]

What kind of pc even.

[elfin sail]

“Connections time out”

[keen marten]

Buy a ps4

[elfin sail]

It’s not even a pc it’s a gaming pc yo my dad got it off somewhere

[white grotto]

Use the lowest graphics even if it means you have to throw aside the quality just for performance

[fickle summit]

My Ps4 is crashing a lot lol

[white grotto]

I'm glad i'm doing better compared to you atleast I'm here with a gaming laptop

[elfin sail]

Yeah I’m doing that noww

[keen marten]

In ark?

[white grotto]

Not the best gpu in it

but its okay

[elfin sail]

Mines used 😢 I’m hoping to get a new one for my birthday

[fickle summit]

Yuh

Its not that bad tho

[white grotto]

in fact it was from christmas time from a relative My grandmother was close with.

||2022 Christmas||

All it lacks is storage, and additional storage it will get one day

[elfin sail]

This computer may be used but my got it has so much storage

I could buy ever ark

[white grotto]

This is a question, Which boss has the greatest soundtrack in your opinion

[ionic tree]

guys
Can I make the bosses of genesis 1 even if my teammates haven't done them?
i did the missions but my friends no and y want to do the final boss with them

[hasty nexus]

bruh how do I play im fr new

[white grotto]

2 words. You Play

[hasty nexus]

idk how to tame and idk where to go or gather weapons and build houses, resources

[white grotto]

and you eventually figure it all out

That's how i learned-

[hasty nexus]

tame isn't important rn

for me

[regal yarrow]

Well, figure out how the engrams work so you can find out how to craft things. Get a stone pick and beat up trees

[hasty nexus]

wait

idk which are to play tho I downloaded it on steam

and it shows me alot of versions

idk which one to pick help me out?

[white grotto]

the top version-

The normal version

[hasty nexus]

can I just ss?

[spark sedge]

King Titan with corrupted Master controller coming in at a close second

[white grotto]

my preferred soundtrack is the overseer

[spark sedge]

If you're talking about the launch options the top one is what you want to go with unless you have specific computer issues

[hasty nexus]

so survival evolved

[white grotto]

the 2nd is Rockwell Prime while the 3rd the Center Boss soundtrack

I always enjoy a Spider and a monke in the same room

[regal yarrow]

I like the plain ab music

[hasty nexus]

@white grotto @spark sedge im trying to pick the one which content creators use I make content but I can't find the one they picked

in ark

[blissful thicket]

I have a problem, i can't join my friends server anymore via steam. Every time i try to join it doesn't happen anything until it says it has taken too long, how to fix?

[white grotto]

get better internet?

that solves everything

there's also the hdd and ssd loading time difference

[hasty nexus]

paradox

[blissful thicket]

i don't think so, 250mbps download 35mbps upload

[white grotto]

graphics?

[spark sedge]

It might be literally that you're taking too long to load because you're not on an SSD

Used to have that problem trying to load into Crystal Islands on a server

[white grotto]

I know your profile picture, i have the game that picture is from

[timid heart]

Some body know how I can make a boat

[white grotto]

some wood and some other shit

and there a boat

House Boat is very unreliable against big fish

[silent matrix]

example: If I have a parasaur lvl 235 and a parasaur lvl 220, but we have that the lvl 235 has 3000 life and the lvl 220 has 3000 life too, which one would be better to make offspring?

[icy fractal]

Finally all notes on the island gotten

Now to read through all of them, already finished 2 peoples notes besides the last one which involves the tek cave

[wispy frigate]

The level doesn’t matter, only the individual stat that you’re breeding for

So in your case, either works

[tawny moat]

i find it easier to find wild dinos that are the same level cuz im pretty sure they’re guaranteed the same stats so it make it easier to breed for mutations

[wispy frigate]

Dinos of the same level, wild or tamed, are never guaranteed to have the same stats unless they’re all lvl 1

[tawny moat]

ohh for me theyve always been the same im just not sure if its like that in official servera

[wispy frigate]

Ngl then youve been extremely lucky the entire time

[icy fractal]

So im reading through ||meiyin|| notes and she keeps mentioning the demon king

[barren grove]

Her giga

[icy fractal]

Ah

[elfin sail]

Anyone here play crystal isle

[icy fractal]

Dam I feel for ||meiyin|| when her raptor died

[barren grove]

Ye

[desert lichen]

Anyone down to play with me?

[vapid solstice]

shure

join my vc

[ionic mirage]

How do i slant triangle roofs on ps4

[vapid solstice]

idk

[ionic mirage]

Man

[carmine condor]

How to tame a reaper:
-find an attractive queen
-show her that you are worth her attention
-she gonna make you pregnant and leave you 😦
-she wont be there if you give birth to her baby which hurts a lot
-the motherless child will get angry, so you have to pretend that you are its mother sometimes
-it also gonna rage and try to bite your tames
-once its juvenile, its gonna realize that its mom was a bad person and calm down and assist yoou for the rest of its lifetime

[icy fractal]

Huh I just finished the notes for the island and wow

So far I feel for Helena and mei, i understand Gaius, and kinda dislike enmund

[white grotto]

Futa tail impregnation

[pliant locust]

I thought that was pretty well known how terrible snail games and their servers are.
Back then, when they released classic/conquest for the first time, there was an incident about absolute absurd amounts of tek items and element (really early on) for one specific tribe as well as many other things happening.
You can’t name and shame here but there are numerous videos out there who exposed them back then already 😕
Can only steer clear of the snail games official servers, and hope they aren’t leaking into other official ones 😦

[icy fractal]

Question does the give all explorer notes command have side effects?

[fair wyvern]

Potential to crash your game, otherwise no

[icy fractal]

It did crash my game

[fair wyvern]

uh, it’s a feature

[raven violet]

Anyone want to play that’s not weird I’m kind of new to the game

[fair wyvern]

#735196277221883964

[icy fractal]

And even though I got the notes but I didn't get all the achievements to go with it

[fair wyvern]

that sucks

[icy fractal]

Only got up to adept explorer achievement

[swift sluice]

Hello i have problem i need help

I play ark on pc i started recently and i tamed alot of dinos but for some reason I can’t do secondary attack with any dino at all !! I tried every button and right click left click on mouse but nothing ever happens ? Any ideas?

[icy fractal]

Yup I think I might never get those achievements Because I tried the command again on a different survivor and I didn't get the rest of the achievements

[quartz wigeon]

Is there a bug where u lose all ur Hex? i came back after a crash and the 300k hex i had was just gone down to 0 I didnt just earn the hex either had it for some time

[undone flicker]

I want to start playing ARK, there are so many expansions to download. Where do I start?

[quartz wigeon]

Oh im not only one on my server who lost their hex

[white grotto]

You'll get it eventually, I used the command once, Got the rest of the achievements after collecting a couple of the notes / dossiers

[real rune]

is there a way via steam, to kick myself from a server? it says im currently in the server but im not, my playerid is though somehow

and i cant get on because of it

oh wait it finally ended up updating to me not being on

only took 12 minutes :p

[icy fractal]

But the command unlocks all notes? And it opens all the boxes? I think?

[obtuse mauve]

anyone have game servers that are decently priced for xbox/windows 10 that has cluster feature?

[fair wyvern]

Only server hosting that supports Xbox is Nitrado

[swift sluice]

Guys so i checked my key bindings and there is nothing about secondary attack button is that normal?

[silent matrix]

Okay so, I want to get back into ark after not playing for a while. What should be my checklist for pvp if I only have base maps and extinction?

[swift sluice]

Can anyone please help?

[lyric slate]

Someone want play official sever? Pls dm

[dusk plank]

Fuck you Jat, Fuck you DOllie and fuck the whole dev team. Got meshed again because you're incompetent team doesn't know how to code and fix meshing. Truly Go fuck all of yourself and I hope ARK 2 is just as meshable as ARK is because you have 0 interest in fixing it

[silent moon]

who pissed in your cereal

[bitter perch]

@ em bet you won’t

[hasty nexus]

I’m having a problem can anyone dm me to help me

[real rune]

Is there any tame on scorched earth that you can make poop as much as a phiomia?

or is that the only animal in the game that shits its brains out when you feed it 2 stim berries

[regal yarrow]

It's the only one

[real rune]

rip scorched earth ez farms

ty tho

[uneven juniper]

Anyone play on 992 gen 2? I started on it last night but today it’s crashed at least twice and is not showing up on the server screen. Is this a regular occurrence?

[real rune]

morellatops give small animal feces..? bruh theyre huge

[tough yarrow]

For genesis 2 servers, yes. #server-reports

[raw terrace]

im redownloading for the first time in a while, can you make multiplayer worlds or is it only servers or single player worlds

[sudden shore]

ever single time i try to tame the tusoteuthis but evertime it grabs my mount and i hop off it kills me. what am i doing wrong?

[silent moon]

nuh uh

rats

[tough yarrow]

Don't spam multiple channels. Just use #bobs-with-probs for ingame help.

Answered in #general ^.

[icy fractal]

Finally i managed to copy paste into the admin console bar

Couldn't copy paste on controller or using second screen for some reason

But the remote play app worked so now I don't have to type out the long commands to spawn stuff in

Because I am not going to through the process of hunting all the tributes again

[exotic condor]

could someone tell me what maps have bloodstalkers?

[eternal merlin]

Genesis 1&2

[tough yarrow]

Moderation are volunteers for the discord only, if you need to file a report please use #customer-support, #reporting-players, #bug-reports, #server-reports

Is it an official server or?

Then you'll need to file #server-reports

[alpine orbit]

Hi! i'm new to ark and looking for people to play with (I hope this is the right channel)

[tough yarrow]

Then #bug-reports

@alpine orbit please use #735196277221883964 for lfg

[teal osprey]

You ever just try to fight Rockwell and there’s triple of him?

[real rune]

does babyimprintamountmultiplier allow it to go above 100% imprint or does it just make it require less imprints to get to 100%

[austere tartan]

How much damage does the regular bow and arrow do?

[tough yarrow]

Less to get to 100%

[real rune]

ty ty, so you can make all tames imrpintable to 100% in a single imprint

[fair wyvern]

55

[austere tartan]

I have a level 140 dilop that has 405 percent damage and I want to take out a level 12 theirzinisaur. If I partner this up with a boy and arrow can I kill it? I’m new to ark

Those therizinosaurs look scary

[rose willow]

tame the carcha and have happy

[fair wyvern]

maybe, but it’ll take about 20 arrows to kill and the dilo wont be much help

[austere tartan]

So the dilo won’t do 405 damage?

[fair wyvern]

The dilo’s attack range is much smaller than the theri so most likely what will happen is the theri will just keep knocking it back before it gets close enough to bite it.

[topaz pagoda]

Does the new years drop give the fixed loot spawns on abb?

[austere tartan]

What if it’s agro on me then I get my dilo to attack it

Will it do 400 damage

[slate widget]

damage % means it does that % of the dinos base damage. so in this case it does 305% more damage than its base.

[austere tartan]

Do you know what it’s base damage is

[slate widget]

10 I think

[austere tartan]

Bruh

[topaz pagoda]

Does the new years drop give the fixed loot spawns on abb?

[fair wyvern]

it should

[topaz pagoda]

For official?

[fair wyvern]

yeah

[austere tartan]

Bro what is my luck I’m surrounded by 2 alpha raptors and a therizinosaur

[fair wyvern]

time to run in the opposite direction

[austere tartan]

You want me to go into piranha infested waters or thylacleo infested Forrest’s

[fair wyvern]

thyla forest is fun

[austere tartan]

You know what I was thinking about taking one

Let’s try killing myself today

[safe crescent]

yo i need help, im using mods in ark in my own world thing, there is a symbol in the middle of my screen and i think its the name of one the mods im using, how do i hide it becuase i cant see

[placid sundial]

Can you dm a screenshot?

[safe crescent]

i did

[placid sundial]

Looks like you’re using a server’s custom mod

So don’t ig

[safe crescent]

nah im using them in single player

[placid sundial]

Yeah you’re using a mod created for a specific server in singleplayer

Is there a particular reason you’re using a servers mod, they tend not to have much information

[safe crescent]

bro i dont even know what that means i got like 2 hours on this game and 3/4 of it was trying to load into the game

[agile escarp]

Anyone wanna play

[fair wyvern]

#735196277221883964

[placid sundial]

You’ve downloaded this mod. And activated it yourself

[safe crescent]

i know

[placid sundial]

So what are you confused about?

You’ve downloaded a random mod, probably not even describing what it does, and it’s doing stuff you don’t want. So remove the elite ark mod

It’s probably doing that because it’s made for the elite ark server

[safe crescent]

bro

[placid sundial]

?

[safe crescent]

the big thing in the middle of my screen

[placid sundial]

The mod is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. There’s plenty of ways they can check if the mod is being used on their server or not. The solution is ‘don’t use the mod’

[safe crescent]

it aint on their server im in a single player world bruh

[placid sundial]

Exactly

That is almost certainly EXACTLY WHY it is doing that

They made the mod for their server. Not for random people to use in Singleplayer, and that’s probably their way of preventing people from doing so

There’s little reason to use a server mod anyway, you’ll get far better results by finding mods with the specific features you want. Rather than a random, undocumented collection of all sorts of changes

[silent halo]

Uninstall Ark and Install it again. 😄

[safe crescent]

hell nah

[jaunty mango]

anyone want to team on thisw primal fear server

[tough yarrow]

@jaunty mango #735196255483068497 for lfg

[jaunty mango]

ok

i missed the channel

[harsh quarry]

how do i do an active event

[normal apex]

hey

[floral garden]

Happy new year everyone

[swift kelp]

Does the New Year's event happen in a specific spot on the Island?

[floral garden]

I'm wondering of I have to input anything on single player, I'm just now logging into the game since before the 1st

[silent matrix]

I recently fought Rockwell like it's been a week now but I beat him with an ovis

For the second time beaten with an ovis

[drowsy tapir]

Has anyone experienced issues with missions completed on gen 2 showing up as not done? A few of us have lost all completed missions on server

[floral garden]

Getting ready to teleport to another of the fjordur sections for the 1st time, I'm on a mission to get a rock drake egg. Got my war pig got a radiation suit, do I need a glow pet?

I know where there are some, tried to tame one, but waited forever for a 2nd feeding, I just gave up lol

Well I was a featherlight, don't know if that even is a glow pet lol

[drowsy tapir]

It is

[floral garden]

Ok 😀

I'm just gonna go real quick and see if it will let me feed it now, I think there is some kind of bug, had that happen with one of the little xp guys, never wanted a 2nd feeding

Awh it's gone, doesn't come up on my taming bar 😔

[real rune]

what flyer is suggested for scorched earth wyvern crag egg stealing?
with only creatures on SE

[pastel tusk]

If they get scared or attacked, they won't be feedable again. Have to move to another or wait a long while.

[floral garden]

Ok thanks

I found one

[swift kelp]

The fastest on SE is tapajara, I think.

[static stirrup]

is there a way to play fibercraft servers on pc? my friend told me its a ok way to learn the maps and things like that

[floral garden]

The aberrant cave on fjordur always has awesome loot, everything I've gotten has been ascendent

[ruby plank]

Is there like a looking to play chat?

Im new

[vapid herald]

If I play Ark on my Xbox one, then go play it on Microsoft edition on my PC, will my character still have all of my items, levels, etc? Because I own it on Xbox, so I can download it on PC from Microsoft store

[floral garden]

Dont know what I'm gonna do with an ascendant doedicurous saddle but I have one lol

Are the glow bugs useful for anything?

[white cypress]

Seems like there's still a bug in the equipment somewhere.....

I hope the handful of servers who DIDN'T crash before the event even started got to enjoy and KEEP your gifts! -_-

[quartz wigeon]

Our server crashed soon after new yr event so we get nothing lol fun times

[floral garden]

I haven't seen anything new years or gift related, I'm guessing I'll have to input something

[white cypress]

Great way to end Ark 1 events aye? lol

[quartz wigeon]

event happened 3 mins before save and the save crashed 😛

[white cypress]

Our server crashed 5 minutes before the event and log in lock prevented me from even being able to try another server

and 2 of the other ones we use were down also. Half my favorites list was down

[quartz wigeon]

just now?

cuz this just happened to us

[inland barn]

gen2. we got a crash too, some VPN using Persons didnt get the amount they want to.. hope some day wc block VPN

[odd birch]

same happened to me

[inland barn]

yall on gen2?

[quartz wigeon]

yup

[inland barn]

989? o.o

[quartz wigeon]

993

[white cypress]

I was on Fjordur at the time but my gen 2 server was also down

[odd birch]

gen 2

[inland barn]

prob theyre all on the same root server

[odd birch]

163

[fluid lark]

991 Went down right after we finished picking up the stuff. RIP

[odd birch]

i was looking foreward to this since i might actually get something cool. still dont have tek since im solo and just cant play 24/7

[quartz wigeon]

same

[inland barn]

i just got my record i name the video "new year event" faster than chinese 😄
have opened 15presents solo 😄

[odd birch]

i wanted some skins man

[inland barn]

i can make a skindrop for you, have all in starting items

all possible

no im a liar, just missing fjordur alpha for the molmir skin

[floral garden]

Fjordur map is really bad about crashing even on single player, guess cause it's so big, usually happens when I'm out exploring opening up new areas, or when going in or out of the abeherrent cave

[odd birch]

its not like i can trade for a seat in a bossfight either. so guess ill have to play or ope i stumble on a lucky drop

[silent matrix]

I'm on personal server so how do I tell if the newyears event is active I used the command for it but no message or any indication that's its started

[umbral dust]

Fuck this game, I had a slot cap of chibis and the server crashed an rolled back now I have none!!

[odd birch]

red is legendary chibi right?

server came back up and the drops were there luckily

[fair wyvern]

yes

[odd birch]

cool. got skeleton wyvern and broodmother chibis

[inland barn]

gen2 takes 40minutes to come back.. im still waiting, lucky for you :3

[odd birch]

i got lucky. there was another dude there but we kinda just both grabbed then ran.

[signal pollen]

Can someone help me my game is stuck on max level 120

[inland barn]

what you missing?

[signal pollen]

?

[inland barn]

which boss

[signal pollen]

none its just really annoying that max level is 120

[inland barn]

max level without chibi 105
if u have done all stuff you can reach level 205

[signal pollen]

no creature level

[inland barn]

ah theresfor #unofficial-setup-help

[signal pollen]

👍

[inland barn]

i think in this chat are 90% official players or more 😄

[signal pollen]

ok

[odd birch]

i got a shotgun bp so i might be able to do center boss if i could just get the stuff to start it

[fair wyvern]

Read the 2nd to last pinned message in #bobs-with-probs

[floral garden]

I've been thinking lately that I've been collecting more narco berries and making more narcotics, I've made alot lately, I mean alot

Don't think it's supposed to be quite that bad, spoilage wiss

[violet elk]

is there any way to fix those ugly white weird reflections on water? i just downloaded the game everything looks good but that terrible water is kinda ruining the game nice graphics lmao

im searching for a solution in reddit and looks like everyone got that problem? the game exists for 7 years and they didn't even try to fix that stupid water? xD

[floral garden]

If you pause the game and go to options, you can turn off the light bloom. Not sure if that is what you are talking about, but I turned it off of my game, helped alot for me

[vapid herald]

If I play on my Xbox, then a few days later play on my PC, will all my items still be there? Same Microsoft account. I have it on both my Xbox and the Microsoft edition on my PC. So will it be completely the same characters and map as my Xbox as on my PC?

[violet elk]

nah it's not light bloom, i would send a screenshot but it's illegal to send screenshots and links on this discord lmfao

[floral garden]

Ok lol

[fair wyvern]

[floral garden]

I usually don't mess with the game settings, but that was just ridiculous for me

[fair wyvern]

It should be the same, yes

[vapid herald]

Bet

[fleet spade]

How do you cook

I cant finish the dodo egg quest or smth

[muted cypress]

just got 18 good megatheriums, 1 yutyrannus and a daedon slaughtered on beta broodmother.

finished it off with a bullet. :((

[floral garden]

Been just now gathering dinos to take on the broodmother...eventually, will be my 1st boss fight

[long flicker]

rip, what were the stats?

[long flicker]

dodo egg quest?

[fair wyvern]

mobile

[long flicker]

ah

should probably ask on the mobile discrd

[muted cypress]

all 300 percent melee and 15k or more health

[long flicker]

that melee is way too low

[muted cypress]

ik

well now I ddo atleast

[prisma sand]

I don’t have any issues with the water. Not really sure what’s happening with yours. Feel free to dm a screen shot

[muted cypress]

get more than 300 mele and 20k health for beta

[long flicker]

I have issues but just never cared enough to check out how to fix them

[long flicker]

I'd say 700-1k%

[muted cypress]

oh crap

for beta?

[long flicker]

health I'm not sure on, I don't remember megatheriums' health

[long flicker]

no, alpha
but best to use the same army for all difficulties, saves on time

[muted cypress]

I was talking beta ;-;

[long flicker]

yeah I know, but eh, might as well aim for alpha

[long flicker]

it's like a weird reflection that doesn't make any sense

[violet elk]

im not playing rn maybe later ill send the screenshot, when the water is behind some objects those objects are casting weird white shadows on the water

[long flicker]

white shadows specifically? I just have weird reflections

[floral garden]

What should the health be for alpha brood mother?

[long flicker]

btw I'd suggest going for rexes or better, theris for all the island bosses

saves you on time for needing to mutate multiple dinos, mutations are not a fun thing

[long flicker]

theris are what I'd suggest for all the island bosses

[floral garden]

Really even the dragon? Thought it did more damage to carnivores?

[long flicker]

yeah, and theris are herbivores

but really the higher damage doesn't matter in the end, it's the veggie cakes that makes them better

[floral garden]

Ok cool, I was gonna do megatherium for brood mother, allos for the monkey and idk for the dragon lol

[long flicker]

allos aren't really bossfighters, they're just weaker rexes

my original plan was allos because fuck logic but I decided against it since I would've had to mutate too much

[floral garden]

Might as well take your suggestion, I've only found 1 high level megatherium so far haha

[long flicker]

if you're fine with transferring then gen 1 snow zone is great for theris

the island, scorched, aberration and extinction all have awful level distribution so it's better to transfer to other maps for taming

[floral garden]

I don't have any of the dlc you have to pay for

[long flicker]

that's a shame, they're all quite good

in that case I think valg was pretty good? can't remember from the free DLC's though

[floral garden]

Currently on fjordur, started on the island but transferred when I started thinking about doing bosses lol

[long flicker]

you're doing the island bosses first though, right?

[floral garden]

Yeah

It would bug me to not go to the island and complete everything there

[long flicker]

theris seem to be relatively rare on fjordur, lost island might be better

[ancient badge]

go to fjordur or lost island or ragnarock for better dino spawn, they're free map

[floral garden]

Ok thanks

Looking through my collection of loot, I have just 1 good megatherium saddle, an ascended one, but I have a blueprint for ascended theri saddles. Is 84 armor good?

[long flicker]

84 seems great, yeah

btw for the dragon, don't get the theris above 21k health

[floral garden]

Why

[long flicker]

veggie cake healing is capped at 2100, but the dragon's % damage keeps going, so you'll just hurt yourself more if you go beyond that

[floral garden]

Ok cool

[long flicker]

for the others it doesn't matter though

[ancient badge]

theri very common on jotunheim realm, you just need good fur armor or good otter

[long flicker]

oh yeah I forgot that there's realms on fjordur, I was looking at main map's spawns

as good of an excuse as any to get an otter

[floral garden]

Picked up a nice daedon saddle in the abberant cave today, was gonna try to get some Yutis, but maybe I'll go do that instead

I have descent fur and an otter lol

[long flicker]

what level is the otter

[ancient badge]

try tame x-yuty too on jotunheim 😄

[long flicker]

btw otter insulation scales with melee

[floral garden]

He is 271 now

[long flicker]

goddamn that's high

[floral garden]

Really lol I've had him with me through most of fjordur, til I got my fjordhawk

Didn't know about the melee thing though, I've been pumping health and weight cause I wanted him to survive everything if possible

Can you shoot off the back of a daodon?

[lone harbor]

Why is it such a pain to lo a wyvern

[tawny notch]

moves away from the owner of the server on ps 4 is not possible or already possible

[long flicker]

ugh, 145 saber just got antimeshed

[floral garden]

Awh I'm sorry to hear that

Lost my 1st raptor back on the island like that

[austere tartan]

I found a level 180 tek raptor and tamed it. Was that a good game?

[brittle turtle]

Anyone know if arkpoc has wiped yet or when it wipes

[long flicker]

yeah that was pretty good

[prisma sand]

I don’t believe tethers can be removed on consoles. You’ll need to play on a dedicated server for that kind of action.

[tawny notch]

and I already thought that it was possible, but in general, did the developers say something about this?

[prisma sand]

I’m not sure. This just comes up around here enough for me to have picked up the answer already. It’s supposedly because consoles hardware isn’t up to the task.

[tawny notch]

understandably waiting for arc 2 maybe there it will be possible at least on ps 5

[prisma sand]

That’s assuming it goes to PS at all.

[dense walrus]

If you have a spare console you can host a non dedicated session and you both can join that

[prisma sand]

Though to be fair most people expect it too, sometime after the early access is finished.

[long flicker]

jesus, just got 300 armour 270 durability flak gauntlets from a drop

[prisma sand]

He wants to remove the tether

[tawny notch]

only one

[tawny notch]

And that it may not be then it will be necessary to wait even more

[dense walrus]

That would remove the tether. I’ve done jt before

[prisma sand]

Non dedicated has tether

You can’t even remove it on PC

[dense walrus]

No it doesn’t. Back in the olden days I hosted a server for my friends with a spare Xbox and it had no tether. I put 500 hours on the servers that I hosted on that thing. No tether at all

[prisma sand]

You are mistaken somewhere. Console tethers and non dedicated servers can not remove the tether

[hoary terrace]

Is there a way to find out what creatures i have/havent tamed? I need it for the master zoologist achievement

[dense walrus]

Maybe it wasn’t non dedicated, idk. All I know is that I hosted a server using a spare console and it worked

[prisma sand]

The most you can do is increase it. That’s on PC idk about console.

[dense walrus]

They may have updated that since then tho. It’s been 3 years since I did it

[brittle dome]

is ark official rag on pc dead? 💀

[prisma sand]

Like server pop or is the server down?

Official always fucks up on events

[brittle dome]

server pop

all the servers seem dead

easier for me to become alpha tho at least 🙏 😂

probably not even alpha on dis shi if its dis dead 💀

[gritty rover]

i have a question how do you turn on the setting to see who joins and leave at the top of your screen it’s not showing me that for some reason

[prisma sand]

Yeah 1x pops are kind of bad. There’s just to many servers and not enough players. If you’re into PvP Arkpoc has the best pop and PvP around.

Smalls is all right I guess

[dense walrus]

What are the rates on Arkpoc?

[prisma sand]

3x I believe is standard

[dense walrus]

Oh ok. I may check them out. How many people do they average, and how many maps do they have

[prisma sand]

Depends on the map, last I was on Fjordur was slot capped

It’s 1 of each map in the cluster so they’re usually all like 20+ people per average

[dense walrus]

The servers sound pretty good

[prisma sand]

Monthly wipes keep it fresh and high paced

[dense walrus]

That may be the not so good part

[willow wolf]

is ark survival of the fittest on ps4?

[long flicker]

not yet

[willow wolf]

is there a date?

[long flicker]

not sure

[willow wolf]

ok

thanks

[dense walrus]

Is SOTF fun?

[long flicker]

I guess? that depends on you, not the game

[dense walrus]

Fair enough

[eternal merlin]

Hey Survivors… so… I’ve got an abundance of stage 2 bred Tek Rexes that I’m not bothered about, I’m going to test to see what the minimum sort of lvls ppl need to actually take on some bosses… What sort of lvl do you all think is the minimum for say Broody?

[long flicker]

alpha? try... hmm
30k health, 700% melee, but default saddles

my guess is tht they'll die

with good saddles, they should live

[eternal merlin]

These Tek Rexes haven’t had any lvls pumped into them yet and not fussed if all perish as I’m so far into breeding but I’m hoarder and wanted to use these for something gd that can help others… as long as I survive I don’t care 😂

[eternal merlin]

So you’re voting 30k HP, 700% Melee… Gamma/Beta/Alpha Do I survive or Die lol 😂

[craggy patio]

It's weird that Moeder don't give Vacuum recipe ... Seems logical that the Water Boss give the water stuffs ?

[eternal merlin]

Good point 👍🏼

[long flicker]

my assumption is death but we'll see

[prisma sand]

What tames?

[long flicker]

just got another 150 argy, meh stats but lovely colours

black and purple, my favourite combo

[prisma sand]

Very nice

Post a pic

[long flicker]

yeah just booting up game rn

[eternal merlin]

Tek Rexes, need to get rid of them to be honest

[long flicker]

I'd just throw them at a giga or something tbh

[lone harbor]

Anyone tryna trade something for primal crystals?

[long flicker]

I know the location of another 140 but I don't think I should just keep going for argies lol

[prisma sand]

I’ve beat alpha spider and monkey with 20-22k health, 600-700 melee, and 121 saddles

There were deaths

[long flicker]

the saddles carry most of the weight in this situation, I'm talking 30k health 700% melee with default saddles

they most probably will die

[prisma sand]

Spider dipped at least 7 of em. Maybe more. But I still got the win.

[long flicker]

nice

I'm hoping for good saddles, like 35-40k hp and then 1k% melee myself

[prisma sand]

25 saddles? Death it is.

[long flicker]

that should be enough for spider, easily enough for monkey

[eternal merlin]

It’s just a test coz I know there’s ppl out there that are breeding an breeding, grinding and I just thought let’s see what happens lol 😂

[long flicker]

for dragon I'll need a separate army with lower health and higher melee

[lone harbor]

Or do you guys know if this ember wyvern will fully mature without milk or primal crystals?

[long flicker]

depends on the rates

[prisma sand]

You only need extremely high mutations to kill other tames with extremely high mutations. The entire game can be beaten well within the 40 mutation cap that’s supposed to exist.

[lone harbor]

Wym rates?

[prisma sand]

Maturation speed setting

[long flicker]

sent the screenshot if you want

[long flicker]

20 mutation cap, not 40

well, the rates half at that point anyway

but yeah I'm going for 80 hp 80 melee rexes myself

[lone harbor]

Oh so if it’s an official will it work?

[prisma sand]

You think the Argy in that pic is what needs to be discussed?

[long flicker]

theris would be a better idea but eh

[hexed trout]

Hi

I just joined the server

[long flicker]

wdym?

[prisma sand]

Bruh explain the flying jelly fish

[eternal merlin]

These are only Stage 2 Breeds, couple of mutations but have Health and Melee, all there levels still to be pumped as they’ve been frozen 🥶

[long flicker]

lmao
it's a chibi

I should remove it tbh, I might miss an HLNA note

[prisma sand]

Aww I didn’t know that was a thing

[hexed trout]

I’m sorry bobster is your pfp googly eyes on a fat dudes stomach

[eternal merlin]

Gonna b Deaths, as long as it’s not me 😬

[long flicker]

no, it's the almighty loaf

[hexed trout]

Oh

[short wigeon]

what should i do if i lost ownership of my tribe and i was the only one in it

[hexed trout]

Idek bro

[lone harbor]

Prolly uninstall

[hexed trout]

Lol

[turbid leaf]

If you're on single player there are commands.

[prisma sand]

I think that was an exploit at one point

Are you on official?

[long flicker]

#bobs-with-probs , there were commands for it but I forgot

[lone harbor]

How would I get an ember wyvern on official if this one doesn’t mature

[long flicker]

you can check yourself on https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_Commands

[short wigeon]

yes small tribes

[prisma sand]

Go to crystal isles and tame a fully grown one.

[lone harbor]

I’m on crystal aisle I just kinda get rekt every time I fly anywhere near one

That’s why I yoinked an egg lol

[prisma sand]

Crystal wyverns are passive until provoked

Unless it was an heir/alpha

[lone harbor]

Yea I mean the fire ember

[short wigeon]

i dont think u can use any commands on official

[long flicker]

ah you're on official, in that case sorry, I can't help

bruh 135 alpha rex next to base

[prisma sand]

They’re super easy to tame. You just get the crystal, wait for them to land and jump on their back. Lay down in between their shoulder blades and start feeding them. And no matter what you do, do not move. Even if you think you’re gonna fall. Idc if you somehow end up going up and down with his wing flaps. Do not move.

[lone harbor]

I know how to do that part they just kinda breathe fire🤣

And it hurtssss

[modern widget]

Anyone wanna play

[long flicker]

crystal aisle lmao

[prisma sand]

They’re passive!

Don’t attack them and they won’t attack you haha

[inner mesa]

I found a magmasaur saddle in a red loot crate. Still primitive and 37.9 armor but now I have oneeeee

[tawny notch]

how do i ask a pegomastax on ps 4?

[left smelt]

If i host a modded server on steam, can my friend on epic join?

[hexed trout]

Wait can u phrase that differently I don’t get what ur trying to say but I wanna help

[prime niche]

it depends can he download mods

[left smelt]

well thats i am asking XD

[prime niche]

no i dont think so

[placid sundial]

no

[tawny notch]

Dino sits on my shoulder how to remove it from my shoulder

[hexed trout]

Press R2

[tawny notch]

It's strange that I either get it or I don't.

Thanks

[muted cypress]

what's the giga respawn time?

[hexed trout]

Idek man

[tranquil geyser]

No

[prisma sand]

There’s not a set time

[muted cypress]

is there like a variety

like 3 mins to 2 hours for example?

[prisma sand]

The server only spawns so many Dino’s, when it’s under cap it’ll spawn something from the box.

The best thing you can do for spawns is just start murdering everything in the area and it’ll start to refill

[muted cypress]

I set dino count to 2 hoping it may help

[prisma sand]

That should double the amount of Dino’s spawned

So it’ll help

[muted cypress]

aight, so I've been dumb thinking 'cos I have a 2060 it should spawn a bunch of gigas'?

note taken.

[prisma sand]

Yeah, it’ll only allow so many of one tame at a time

Per area

[ionic mirage]

Whats the funnest dino?

And if you say giga you’re wrong

[placid sundial]

one attempt every 24 hours

[muted cypress]

holy crap

[placid sundial]

or 4 hours if singleplayer settings is on

[muted cypress]

so I found three carchas instead of three gigas... thanks wildcard

[placid sundial]

usually this is the case, not for gigas, which are only affected by the number of gigas

Yep. Carchars don't count toward the spawner cap either 🙃

[ionic mirage]

What do carchas do

[muted cypress]

but they do take up the spawn locations

[placid sundial]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Carcharodontosaurus

[muted cypress]

they're new apex predator tames just below the giga

[ionic mirage]

Thank you

[muted cypress]

taming isn't knockout and it's really annoying

friendship meter blah blah blah

took me a bit to figure out

[placid sundial]

Not in the same way. They'll happily use one of the spawn attempts, but if there's 20 carchars and 0 gigas, the spawner will still think it's empty

[muted cypress]

oh I see

[placid sundial]

Whereas 2 (iirc) gigas will block all giga and carcha spawns until they're killed

[prisma sand]

I did not know that

[muted cypress]

I am on the island, maybe that has to do with it. I've heard they're more annoying here

[placid sundial]

Island has fewer giga spawns than some maps like LI

[ionic mirage]

So i skimmed it are they just killers nothing like special?

[placid sundial]

Ext would be the best place to go though since ext is the one map where gigas use a normal spawner, rather than a unique one

[prisma sand]

So that means there’s gigas already spawned on his map and he just has to find them?

[muted cypress]

second strongest carnivore in the game

[muted cypress]

no, I've checked all the locations

[ionic mirage]

Yeah but it just kills nothing fun

[muted cypress]

I just did a dinowipe recently

[muted cypress]

yeah pretty much, but special taming and has a slaughter boost when it commits mass murder

[placid sundial]

Misread. Not necessarily, because only once every 4/24 hours does it try to spawn 'a' dino. And that one dino could be either a carchar or a giga

[ionic mirage]

Meh I could get the same stuff done with a couple dodos

[muted cypress]

well I've just gone to singleplayer for the reduced cooldown

[long flicker]

it could be considered stronger than the giga, since it gets stronger once you get enough boosts

so it's better than the giga for meat runs and the likes

[placid sundial]

Singleplayer settings tickbox, to be clear?

[prisma sand]

So giga/carchar spawns are a separate entity with different mechanics than the other creatures?

[muted cypress]

no, literally singleplayer

[muted cypress]

yeah

[prisma sand]

There’s a setting called singleplayer settings

[placid sundial]

Most creatures, they're not the only ones that use that spawn method but most creatures don't use it

[muted cypress]

I haven't gotten mine low enough to test, but if they have a rage thing (like the giga rage) then they stay second best in my books

[prisma sand]

It rebalances the game if it’s checked for only one player. Otherwise it uses standard balance which was designed around tribes of players

[placid sundial]

They are unique in using a replacement spawn that isn't counted, with the only other instance i'm aware of being gachaclaus on fjordur, which is temporary

[long flicker]

they don't, they just get stronger as they kill more

[muted cypress]

ah, so my friend was wrong and I got my megatheriums slaughtered for nothing ;-;

[long flicker]

gigas are still better though if you just want to uncryo one and have it at full damage from the start

[muted cypress]

gachaclaus are on all maps right now aren't they?

[placid sundial]

Yep but gachas usually use shared spawners

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1003780507579986071/1055202601794277406/image.png

Whats the point of gacha clause

[placid sundial]

Here's how fjordur's solo gacha spawners can get 😄

[muted cypress]

and even after setting my difficulty to 2, I cannot manage to find high lvl dinos

[muted cypress]

you give them coal and mistletoe, they give you crystals which drops different tiers of decent drop loot.

[placid sundial]

Distribution is different to max level and needs a mod to change, also difficulty offset (the slider) is capped at 1. you can change the difficulty to 150 in the ini

[ionic mirage]

Where do you get coal or mistletoe

[muted cypress]

raptor claus gifts

[long flicker]

ark is a bug free game

[ionic mirage]

How do you even find the gifts?

I’ve found raptor clause but he never drop’s gifts

[placid sundial]

while this was achieved with npcreplacements on normal gacha, it's theoretically possible to do this without that- Just by killing the normal gachas lol

[muted cypress]

he makes a 'ho ho ho' at midnight and if you follow the large glowing drop falling you get it

the gifts are the length of a quetzalcoatlus

[ionic mirage]

You got any pictures?

[ionic mirage]

What

[muted cypress]

y'know, a quetzal?

[placid sundial]

I can grab one, one sec

[ionic mirage]

Yea?

[muted cypress]

the gifts are as long and a queztl

[ionic mirage]

Damn

[muted cypress]

what map is that

[ionic mirage]

The little glowy things?

[tranquil geyser]

Yes

[long flicker]

keep in mind you can't normally see him from the side, he flies just above the map's ceiling

[placid sundial]

Island with the snow that they stopped adding 😦

[muted cypress]

ok

[long flicker]

but he's hard to miss

presents will also always be in a straight line which helps for hunting

[placid sundial]

And some of my own pictures:

which is how it'd look ingame

[muted cypress]

I've been trying to get higher lvl dinos, but no matter how high I put the setting (2 currently) I can't find anything better than before

[long flicker]

1 - offset's (that's the difficulty slider) maximum is 1
2 - you need to dino wipe after changing the override/offset for it to affect dinos

[muted cypress]

already done a dinowipe

[long flicker]

I'd suggest setting difficulty override to 5, that makes max dino level 150 which imo is the best max level to have

[muted cypress]

so I set 'difficulty' to 5?

[long flicker]

no, you add a line in GameUserSettings.ini called
OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5 under [ServerSettings]

[muted cypress]

does it work in singleplayer or just on a owned server?

[long flicker]

both

[muted cypress]

kk

[muted cypress]

so GameUserSettings.ini is in my files, correct?

[long flicker]

yeah, ShooterGame > Saved > config > WindowsNoEditor > GUS.ini

you're on steam, right?

[muted cypress]

yeah

what do I use to open ini files?

[muted cypress]

will opening with wordpad or something ruin my save/install?

[runic plume]

fps drops in day, is it bcos of shadows?

[muted cypress]

so, I'm still getting mostly lvl 8. no idea what's wrong

[turbid leaf]

Did you Dinowipe after following all instructions?

[muted cypress]

yeah

[prisma sand]

Did you try dinowiping harder?

[muted cypress]

yes. I used 'destroywilddinosbutbetterandhigherlevel'

[prisma sand]

Try destroywilddinoshardaf

[muted cypress]

aight got it

no difference in lvl but I felt it in my bones

it nearly killed me

[serene hull]

just found out climbing bloodstalker doesnt teleport

only took me 2 bloodstalker

[silent matrix]

Hi

Anyone wanna play ark?

[long flicker]

nope, just make sure it's still .ini

[long flicker]

you're sure you put it in the right spot?

[muted cypress]

so, i did it and the lvls are the same

[long flicker]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty
that's 2 r's

[muted cypress]

I just dumped it at the bottom of the GUI

[long flicker]

that's the wrong spot, I said below [ServerSettings]

[muted cypress]

kk

[muted cypress]

under or above difficulty offset?

[long flicker]

that doesn't matter as long as it's under server settings

[muted cypress]

I shall see now

lvl 100 trilobites lol

thanks man, appreciate it

[placid sundial]

[hybrid drift]

I got a 120 dilo

[keen thunder]

what should i feed a baby magmasaur

[prisma sand]

Sulfur or ambergris. Which ever is easier for you. Typically sulfur.

[keen thunder]

ok i tried sulfur but it wont eat it

[prisma sand]

They won’t eat until their food goes pretty low

They’re not like most other babies

[keen thunder]

oh that explains it

[prisma sand]

Xbox did get the update allowing them to eat sulfur right?

Pretty sure at one point it was just Pc

[long flicker]

all babies only eat when their food goes pretty low

just that things like wyverns and magmasaurs get a lot of food from their preferred food so they eat pretty slow

achatinas too

sometimes achatina babies can starve because their current "max food" is below the amount that their food gives them

[prisma sand]

Not like wyverns and magmas. They eat at a slower pace due to special food being required, spoilable and giving well over 1k food per.

[long flicker]

well yeah, that's what I said

[prisma sand]

No. Magmas food drains slower entirely

Where a normal baby would lose about 1 food per second a magma loses about 12 per minute

At standard rates that is

[placid sundial]

food drain scales with baby age iirc

[prisma sand]

It does

[scenic stone]

theres a glitch with me and my friend where we both walked under a spino and used awesome teleporter mod to get back to base and we teleported under the map and died is there anyway to get our stuff back

[long flicker]

only thing you can do is ghost under the map to get it back

[lyric narwhal]

Anyone know how to bypass the ingame sensitivity limit? I'm 1600 dpi and use low sens in most games but my sens converted to Ark lands at 0.98 but the minimum ark allows is 2. I have it set to be lower than my current sens through the gameusersettings.ini config but whenever I apply any settings in settings it sets back to the default. I've somewhat fixed it by setting it as read only but it still resets the sensitivity when I apply. It keeps it at my main sens when I restart my game tho

[silent matrix]

after setting it in the .ini file, right click the file and select "read only" then apply. this has stopped games resetting things for me in the past

[lyric narwhal]

mentioned this in the thing

I've done it but whenever I apply a setting it resets back to 2

it would be fine if I played on 800dpi which I might switch to but man it's a pain

[silent matrix]

ah I'm not sure then unfortunately, sometimes the magical answers can be found in comment sections on relating yt vids lol

[lilac dock]

there any way or mods to find out the locations of your tames?

like any way it shows u on the map or creates a waypoint

[placid sundial]

Not sure if the sensitivity settings in the OS would affect it to, if you haven't messed with them you could try that?

[placid sundial]

Pet finder does

creates a beacon of light and shows the direction they're in

[grim wigeon]

any discord with the market?

[serene hull]

whats the fastest way to get chitin/keratin on gen1?

[grim wigeon]

Megaterio in magma cave egg mission

You don't need to go in a lot or complete the mission

[uneven juniper]

So I started on official gen 2 992 yesterday and it keeps crashing. Do other gen2 servers crash as much? Did I make a mistake and need to go to another server or is this from the event?

[fleet field]

Can someone tell me best pve stat build?

[deft cairn]

hey does anyone know if megatheriums take more damage from the dragon boss?

[celest meteor]

Official Gen 2 servers should be avoided...

[humble valley]

after 2 years i finally got my account back

[agile perch]

My dead body glitched into ground is there any way i can get it? someone help pls

[quick coral]

what do you normally get for a flyer and land travel mount? i usually get a pelgornis and thyla

[agile perch]

Is pelagornis faster than pteranodon

[quick coral]

i think

pt might be a bit faster or pelgornis

but there similar speed

[agile perch]

Yeah and pelagornis can carry more

I just use maewing

[long flicker]

no, pela is much slower

[long flicker]

are you on singleplayer? if yes, you can use the command ghost to go through the ground to get it

[uneven juniper]

I’m starting to understand that now. The server only stayed up for 25 minutes before it crashed again. I starting to regret buying genesis now.

[long flicker]

singleplayer superiority

I like gen 1 more than 2 anyway

[celest meteor]

Honestly, official servers are kinda meh in general lol. It's usually better to rent your own server or play single player. Gen 2 is also a bit of a hit or miss DLC, some love it some hate it

[celest meteor]

I only played Gen 2 for the ending, and will only play it again if friends really want to finish the story

[long flicker]

I agree, especially the ability to change your own rates

[celest meteor]

I like official esc rates, but some settings really need to be altered, for example building collision and raft limits

[quick coral]

anyone got any lost island or valguero rathole for official settings

[uneven juniper]

I usually tend not to complain online but haven’t these servers been out for awhile? Do they not fix them? I like the rates of official and some of the others playing even though I solo

[long flicker]

official rates are MUCH too grindy for my honestly

[quick coral]

also do higher grade wepons knock creatures out better i have a ramshackle crossbow dose it do more torpor?

[long flicker]

yes, it does

[quick coral]

ok

[agile perch]

Yes im on singleplayer thank you very much

[long flicker]

use command walk to unghost btw

[agile perch]

👍

[uneven juniper]

We’ll I like the 3x but once it’s gets to high everything seems to easy and I get board.

[flint field]

how many slots is a slotcap

300 right

[long flicker]

ye

[celest meteor]

Yeah, they have but it's the players causing the problems for the most part. Gen 2 is a very easy map and many build dupe machines there, which is wrong, and the map itself is quite badly optimised

[celest meteor]

Same, I usually have my xp at 0.25 lol

It's not to make it grindy, it's to keep me in the early to mid-game longer. I like those parts the most

Makes progressing feel much more rewarding too

[slender silo]

If i pop over to fjordur to learn some engrams, what the best place to transfer back off?

[spark sedge]

Is there a specific time Shadowmanes start considering that it's daytime?

I know megalosaurus doesnt strictly follow the game clock

[wet basalt]

I play on pc and I bought ark in steam , Im trying to host a Non Dedicated Session to play with my friend but he cant find my server. He bought ark at epic games does it have something to do with it?

[spark sedge]

Yeah I don't think Steam and epic can play together

[wet basalt]

is anyone sure ?

[long flicker]

non dedi with EGS and steam is very wonky, you can basically assume that it won't work

dedicated servers will work though, if you have the ram to host one

and if you can port forward

[celest meteor]

They can, but you have to enable. a setting called crossplay. Unsure how to do that though

[long flicker]

I believe it's an ini setting? but wont' work for non dedi

[wet basalt]

ok thanks for the help

[spark sedge]

... do they just not go to sleep in traps now?

8:35 in game time and this damn cat wont nap

[long flicker]

simply git gud

but no, they do sleep
just gotta wait

[spark sedge]

Oh that's my problem the stupid thing got itself stuck in a falling animation somehow

Traps never fail to piss me off

[long flicker]

rip, which one was it

[spark sedge]

Which what?

Okay now that everything's working and I had to dismantle half the freaking trap to get it unstuck

It's going relatively smooth

But I legitimately feel like I would have had so much less stress if I had just tamed this stupid thing in the wild

[long flicker]

the trap

[long flicker]

couldn't they teleport?

[spark sedge]

I tried to aggro it to me so it would teleport out and it seemed like it couldn't for some reason

The Trap was a nooblet trap, a 2x4 box on top of hatch frames essentially

[sacred sonnet]

What’s the best way to get good saddle blueprints on the island ?

[elder rapids]

Hey am i good to ask for help due to crashing here?

or is that it customer support?

[long flicker]

the swamp cave, and the easy ocean gaves

[spark sedge]

Run caves and search the deep ocean for loot crates

[storm hedge]

Hello, I'm in an official, I was walking and suddenly I disappeared, I reappeared and when I went there weren't my things or anything, what do I do?

[long flicker]

#bobs-with-probs is where you wish to be

[spark sedge]

If you have access to cryopods and a megatherium the swamp cave is real good for this yeah

[sacred sonnet]

Alright thank youuu, I will try all of those

[spark sedge]

Deep ocean crates have some of the best stuff in the game especially if you can get your hands on a Liopleurodon

Aw, do they not have a spammable taunt roar? Lame

[silver ruin]

while i know its possible to change the items required for a recipe, is it possible to change the crafting station needed to craft it?(eg change tek sword to being crafted in smithy) (feel free to ping)

[barren grove]

How much ele per hour does it take to run a tek forcefield on official settings

[long flicker]

not without mods, I don't think so

[ornate jacinth]

ok im having problems with my otter can someone help me

[odd ridge]

We have someone who just finished all their explorer notes but didn’t get the +10 levels. Are the new cinematic part of the note collection?

[final panther]

Are you saying you cannot earn the 10 new levels, or that you just didn't suddenly get 10 levels for collecting the notes?

[eternal merlin]

I like Otters, What’s up with it? 😂

[odd ridge]

Didn’t get the levels from collecting the notes

I can send you a screen shot of the implant if you’d like

[silent matrix]

Can someone help me? I'm new to the game and have no idea wtf I'm doing

So far I've made a shitty little hut and some tools
