yeah you can't starve to death unless you are trying to

[green belfry]

If I have X Rexes with 70k HP and 3k Atk, how many do I need to bring to have a relatively easy time with Valguero Alpha run, and follow up question; would it be beneficial to bring a few Deinos with 8k HP and 2k atk? For the bleed effect and all? (And I have a 100% Imprint Yuty for buff)

[ancient badge]

if it's official setting, 15 rex and yuty + deino if you want for easy fast fight

[green belfry]

Ah yes, it’s on official

I have 12 Rexes right now so… gotta raise a few more then

[torpid raft]

hello, I have a problem when I want to connect to my friend’s non-specialized server it puts me connection time expired which one has an idea?

[glacial ermine]

what dinos do you guys wanna see in ark 2

[left forum]

Dodo!

[glacial ermine]

that's already confirmed haha

[brittle onyx]

Just more creatures in general would be cool

[odd heart]

less*

Quality > Quantity

[dapper wagon]

More interior decorative structures

[sweet fossil]

Better sea creatures

Make it feel less empty

I want a sea turtle

Like the one from ark additions

[silent matrix]

guys when im breeding for mutations, do i just need to have the number of mutations on the females to under 20 like 19/20 or do i need to have it on 0/20?

[dapper wagon]

Your breeder females need to have less than 20 muts total, so if you looking at ancestry screen the sum of the two numbers has to add to less than 20

For example if it says 18/20 on one side and 2/20 on the other, that one can't mut anymore

[silent matrix]

okay, so a total of 19/20 mut would be able to work?

[dapper wagon]

The individual numbers don't matter just the sum

Yep

[silent matrix]

okay ty

[atomic torrent]

Read “muts” as “nuts”, thought I was on the wrong server

[dapper wagon]

Lmfao 🤣

[muted sleet]

Late response but we need the chops!!

(Not really a dino but you get the idea)

[tardy panther]

Is there a new creature vote??

[fair wyvern]

#announcements

[tardy panther]

Oh my god there is

[dapper wagon]

The option to add auto draw a custom image to a canvas, does that also not work on Steam/Epic version of Ark?

[split drift]

Im having an issue. Im transfer my character from rag to gen 2 and it says failed to transfer please try again later. There’s no trophies or element in my inventory is this happening to other ppl

[fair wyvern]

that message means it’s probably a connection issue, there’s a different message for incompatible items

[split drift]

we restarted both servers last night. i tried to transfer to another server on the cluster still nothing. i just restarted steam and i got the same message

[dapper wagon]

Can you log onto gen2 in SP

[past beacon]

...so is ark1 really going to be upgraded to ue5? or was wildcard just joking?

[dapper wagon]

Legit

[split drift]

we are on a private g portal server.

i have gen 2 downloaded

[dapper wagon]

Idk what g portal is, not gonna be able to help

[past beacon]

replying to me?

[dapper wagon]

Yeah, the ue5 thing is real

[past beacon]

ooOOoo

any eta yet?

[dapper wagon]

Nahh

Would you believe it if there was one lmao

[past beacon]

nah lol good point

[dapper wagon]

How about...

(Sooner than Soon™)™

[past beacon]

two more weeks? lol(inside joke)

[silent matrix]

yo what bait for fishing do i need ?

[dapper wagon]

Tossup between leach blood and honey

[silent matrix]

anybody know why the textures do not load on dinos?

is there a setting or anything?

cuz my settings are on high

[dapper wagon]

What platform you on

[silent matrix]

pc

[dapper wagon]

What gpu

[silent matrix]

whats gpu

forgor it

[dapper wagon]

Graphics card

[silent matrix]

is it like 2080 3080 or smthn

[dapper wagon]

I mean that a big diff, sometimes there's too much for the UI to render like if you trying to render dino details next to a giant castle

[silent matrix]

nah i started a new world solo

theres no castle or anything nearby

some rocks aint loading too

[primal crater]

I need some tips on finding a Baryonyx. I am walking about the western edge of the Swamp, but as it dangerous there, I am riding my Therezino. I have found two already...they jumped out of the water, attacked me and Therezino killed them...

I do not dare to walk there on foot and when I use a flyer, I can't see anything really from above.

[split drift]

i would get on a rex so kapros dont dismount you and clear through everything till barys spawn

[primal crater]

Is the west edge of the Swamp a good location or is there a better one?

[green belfry]

I just lost my 4th tame in less than a week due to checks notes them vanishing into thin air/swallowed by the ground and honestly I’m getting super tired of it

my shadowmane literally just poofed WHILE I WAS WATCHING IT during a fight with some deino’s for our regular food run. She made a jump over one of them and poof, gone

No death notif or anything so… just gone

And since it’s on official I guess I can’t do anything about it and just have to accept that my maxed shadowmane just isn’t here anymore.

[sterile fossil]

hello, does somebody need an ark server? i have one to give away

[glacial ermine]

who all voted for the beetle?

[frozen crest]

is ark 2 coming in June?

[glacial ermine]

not sure

[runic ruin]

What server?

[dapper wagon]

I voted for the beetle

[runic ruin]

If u have access to gen2 they easy to find there

[leaden notch]

Do I have to buy the dlc for extinction or just completed the maps before it to play it?

[tough yarrow]

Buy it.

[foggy niche]

i went to sleep with ark open and my thyla was standing on my 3 refining forges at the same time 💀

its almost dead 🙂

[tough yarrow]

Unfortunate

[foggy niche]

wait its not taking dmg from them when i ride it though

weird

[primal crater]

Single player on the Island

[foggy niche]

what is with scorched and giving me aquatic blueprints lmao

its always either the frog or the megalodon

[harsh dock]

Is Sotf on Ps4?

[foggy niche]

pc only

[harsh dock]

😦

[foggy niche]

💀

[harsh dock]

Will it ever come?

[foggy niche]

prolly not.

been out for years now with no signs of it

[fair wyvern]

January 31st is the release date for consoles

[foggy niche]

its actually coming to console? 💀

[harsh dock]

OMG cool thank s

[fair wyvern]

They’ve been rebuilding sotf recently so yes

[foggy niche]

that might actually be a W since my pc doesnt have enough space for it (we hate ark cough cough)

wonder how it will run though

[fair wyvern]

seems to run fine for pc players so we’ll see

[foggy niche]

yeah but uh
ark on pc and console are not the same experience 😭

[fair wyvern]

there’s a channel for it #tsotf if you have any questions

[foggy niche]

the game be crashing on every movement istg

ooo journyman chainsaw
400 metal though lmao

[fathom bane]

How much does extinction cost

[foggy niche]

cant buy it separately anymore

[fathom bane]

How do you buy it

[foggy niche]

have to buy the bundle with SE. AB, and EXT

[fathom bane]

Ok how much does that cost

[foggy niche]

idk like 25$
hard to remember with all the price changes and sales so i would just check the steam or console store tbh

[fathom bane]

Ok

[foggy niche]

aberation is the best map imo

[silent matrix]

$+15 or $20 iirc

[foggy niche]

its hard though so if you want a calm map i say valgureo

[silent matrix]

Go to scorched earth

[lavish shale]

if you want to continue the storyline i think scorched earth would be for you

[foggy niche]

as the second map? 💀

[silent matrix]

Yep, it's the second story map after all

[foggy niche]

idk bruh its fun but it be making me hate life rn

[silent matrix]

Lmao

Yeah getting a water source is rough, but after that you're set

[foggy niche]

water sources and megtheriums bc scorched got bugs EVERYWHERE

[lavish shale]

for me the worst is when i need metal and everything kill me

[silent matrix]

Yeah metal was tricky to get until I had an argy

[foggy niche]

you want metal? fight 2 rexs and a thyla to get it even though your level 4 🙂

or 50 hyenadons

[silent matrix]

Fjordor has the most stuff

[foggy niche]

ragnorok or aberation then

ab is the most fun imo and rag is the fan favorite and most active

[lavish shale]

idk if you prefer free maps or story maps

[silent matrix]

I just got a kangaroo asap and jumped past everything lol

[foggy niche]

how did you get the pelt 💀

[silent matrix]

Made a pen and trapped a pack of wolves then killed with a sling

[foggy niche]

lol

[silent matrix]

Then don't go to abb. It's hell

[foggy niche]

eh

its the most unique gameplay wise and has the most fun bases/raids imo

[silent matrix]

insert basalisks and ravager packs at the easy spawns

[foggy niche]

you can outrun everything you cant bola 😈

other than spinos...

[lavish shale]

genesis 1 is fun but hard (i recommend to go to the ocean first)

[silent matrix]

I always came across packs of 5+ ravagers. Even with metal armor they would kill me before I could get bolas on them all

[lavish shale]

yes you see the black outlines even if you didn't learn the tekgrams

[foggy niche]

i never really had problems with ab creatures unless i was being dumb tbh

it was the occasional crab and spino though

[lavish shale]

me i tame 2 spinos early game , try to make an imprint spino and after i kill everything

[foggy niche]

nah early game stego was the wave

[silent matrix]

Basalisks plagued me everywhere I went

[foggy niche]

you can run from them easily though cant you?

[lavish shale]

with stego you are slow

[silent matrix]

Not when I was out collecting resources. I barely had any tames due to the ravagers

[foggy niche]

where you be going in ab early game?

i just set up by the water and most things just came to me lol

[silent matrix]

Looking for metal

[foggy niche]

ah

[silent matrix]

Damn karakinos were the only thing that came to me on the water

[foggy niche]

i just didnt leave my base until i had the crossbow and bola unlocked 💀

[silent matrix]

I was trapped in the hidden lake area

[lavish shale]

at the border of green zone and blue zone

[silent matrix]

Basalisks and karakinos and ravages camped all around the exits of the lake

So I couldn't leave till after i had a spino to kill them

[foggy niche]

to be fair

even if they kill you every 3 seconds ab does have the best creatures 😈 🥱

rock elemental is also cool though tbf

[silent matrix]

I just wish there were more creatures there

It felt very repetitive when I went out to find something to tame

[foggy niche]

baslisk, reaper, drake, nameless, bulbdog, shinhorn, the geckoo thing, karkinos

all of them are lategame which is the biggest problem

[silent matrix]

No I mean like normal game creatures

[foggy niche]

ah

[silent matrix]

Mammoth, Rex, wolves, etc

[foggy niche]

i can agree with that tbf

im glad they took out some things like rex and giga to shake up the game though

[silent matrix]

Agreed

It was refreshing

[dapper wagon]

There's no snow on ab where would mammoths spawn haha

[silent matrix]

They don't spawn in the snow on every map

[foggy niche]

the surface 😁

[dapper wagon]

What a life for them yeesh

[silent matrix]

On Val they're in like a forest kinda area

A snow cave on abb would've been cool

[lavish shale]

already enough cold for me

[silent matrix]

Fair

But then It could've had cold biome creatures there

[fair wyvern]

impossible

[leaden notch]

I can't buy the dlc... it won't let me

[lucid orbit]

i havent played ark in like a year and i really wanna play ark but ark sucks alone so like i wanna host the undedicated server thing unboosted and all i wanna know if anyone wants to play with me and reteach me everything since it has been so long

[lavish shale]

what maps do you have ?

[foggy niche]

unboosted is a bit wild
ark on default is painful 😭

[fair wyvern]

you can’t buy the maps separately, you have to buy the season pass bundles

[lucid orbit]

i have done it before its not bad

infact i played for a while on it its fun

or i guess is preference

[foggy niche]

1x harvest, taming, and maturation is so painful lol

idk how people played before offical got buffed

[lucid orbit]

only the free one i believe

[lucid orbit]

i can always just make it a tad boosted

[lavish shale]

yeah sorry me i prefer to play the storyline maps

[lucid orbit]

damn

[foggy niche]

ab and se are the wave 🥱

if you like dying on every turn

[lucid orbit]

i have them on ps4 but my ps4 no longer works properly nore do i have ps plus

[turbid leaf]

But on ab you die with pretty scenery.

[foggy niche]

for realll

[lavish shale]

im not speaking only about ab and se because the genesis are fun too

[foggy niche]

and on se you die without anything camping your body (dehydration)

[foggy niche]

😰

[lucid orbit]

im thinking of getting all expansion packs

[lavish shale]

ab is a very cool map too

[foggy niche]

idk man i feel like ext, gen1, and gen2 all had great ideas with bad execution
ext is still good though it was even my favorite map when i first started tbh

[lavish shale]

i like the genesis for the difficulty (i think that other than genesis is not so hard) and ext is good but have a too long farm to summon the titans

[foggy niche]

for me genessis was hard but not in the fun way

like dying from bad mechanics more than the actual game type of thing

[lavish shale]

ik these are annoying but i like the fact that the missions on alpha are very hard

[foggy niche]

the missions could have been so 🔥 too 😭
i wish genesis just had like another 6months to cook tbh because it all feels like great concepts with pretty bad or mid execution

[lavish shale]

yeah i'ts that but i place my hopes on ark 2

[foggy niche]

imagine a polished ark.

[lavish shale]

i just want a ark with no glitches that is fun to play

[tacit geode]

I dont know if theres a specific channel for this question, but does anyone have a clue as how to edit all creature adjustment stats in beacon at once? I am not gonna edit all damage and resistance of 1 dino at a time

[lucid orbit]

i havent played ark in like a year and i really wanna play ark but ark sucks alone so like i wanna host the undedicated server thing unboosted and all i wanna know if anyone wants to play with me and reteach me everything since it has been so long i just want to play ark

[silent matrix]

Does anyone know what key or how to throw out the honey?

[foggy niche]

just drop it with O right?

[silent matrix]

In a way, I wanted to tame andrewsarchus

but

[foggy niche]

0 clue what that is but if its like rollrat you just drop it iirc

[silent matrix]

when I throw away this honey, it puts it in a box, not as usual

sorry if i write something incorrectly i am using translator but i am not very good at writing in english :(:

[foggy niche]

all good

[silent matrix]

uff

I already know, thank you

[limpid tundra]

anyone wanna play with me looking for a server and a tribe?

[foggy niche]

how do i see what my stat mutations are in?

[midnight hazel]

can carchas break stone walls?

[foggy niche]

check dododex or the wiki or smth

[silent matrix]

Compare the baby stats to its parents

[tough yarrow]

Yes

[foggy niche]

wdym?

[midnight hazel]

thanks, couldnt find an answer elsewhere and there’s one roaming right outside. better wait for it to leave i guess

[foggy niche]

sorry i have never really been on the min max side of breeding before

[tough yarrow]

Np

[silent matrix]

Look at the parents stats, then look at the baby's stats. If there's a stat that niether parent has, then that stat has the mutation

[foggy niche]

it has less health than both does that count? 💀

[silent matrix]

Uhh no

Wait

[silent matrix]

Have you leveled up the parents any?

[foggy niche]

not yet

[tough yarrow]

Or imprinted them?

[silent matrix]

Okay good

[foggy niche]

not after breeding i mean

[silent matrix]

Did you level them up at all, before breeding?

[foggy niche]

yes

[silent matrix]

Thats your issue

Stats that you manually level up aren't passed on to the babies

[foggy niche]

💀

guess once i get enough to spare i can worry about the mutations then
seems like it was food though

[silent matrix]

Only the stats that they have immediately after taming will be passed on, unless a mutation increases a stat

[torn pier]

Silica is only obtainable by harvesting clams, fish with an otter, or trilobites. Look on ark.wiki.gg

[short peak]

Anyone have spare Manticore boot skin they're willing to part with?

[kind dune]

my concept idea is a flying flat head fish, it allows you to swim fast and glide above the water

[glacial ermine]

the gorgonpsid and the beetle is so close

[cosmic smelt]

Carcharodontosaurus is the strongest mob in the game? cuz i just faced one on a new adventure and that boi do some damage

[noble lichen]

The person who responded to you wasn't trying to be very helpful. If you're playing on an official server, you can look up a stat calculator online and compare your dino to the calc by it's level

[fickle mist]

It’s close between giga and carcha

[noble lichen]

otherwise, you either have to;
Not level the breeding pair.
Take a screenshot of the breeding pair before you level them.
Always do babies in batches so you can compare the babies

Be advised, if the mutation rolls movement speed, you wont see any change and the mutation is completely wasted

[fickle mist]

They are adding another dino to ark 1 -_-

[noble lichen]

Least the delays aren't all doom and gloom

[fickle mist]

True

[noble lichen]

I'm sure the devs want ark 2 out even more than we do, as another month of dev time is millions of dollars and a delayed release window. but yeah, I'm not really all that hyped about a bison

but, I'm glad it isn't a third giga.
The carchar is cool, but so powerful

[charred stirrup]

Ain’t no way

Berrys bro

Why would it eat meat?

[heady trail]

Be cool to have a dino like venom where it merges with your body and give you super speed or something

[foggy niche]

yo can you see wyvern eggs with spyglass?

[charred stirrup]

?

[foggy niche]

ended up dying from 0 eggs being in the den bc i assumed they were just out of render distance for the spyglass to pick it up 💀

the wyvern den is so bs ngl

20days in and 0 eggs spawned 💀

[cosmic smelt]

what about tita?

[cloud linden]

Whats the easiest way to get a tek replicator in fjordor?

[agile dome]

By beating one of the 3 main boss

[cloud linden]

Just any boss? Any diff?

[agile dome]

Any of the 3, brood, gorilla or dragon

[grim forum]

which map is best for therizinos?

[unreal brook]

will unreal 5 ark 1 come to console as well or just pc?

[torn pier]

Island

[agile dome]

I always tamed at Gen 1 artic, it's easier to check for stats too

2nd best map is north of lost island near the temple

[grim forum]

too many low level

[foggy niche]

does disabling hibernation effect wyvern scar on se?

[slate widget]

in what way?

if you mean the eggs, probably effects them (both in spawning and spoiling)

[sudden shore]

my ACs are connected to a genarator but yet there still unpowered anyone know why

[silent matrix]

Is the generator turned on?

[foggy niche]

breh

thats sad

[static elbow]

well i tried to play abberation for the first time

did not go well

[agile dome]

Aberration is harder than most other maps due to some restrictions and hard to access transfer for new players

[formal orchid]

Hi I’m new to server is there anyone who can help me with getting a tribe or tell me about certain servers or anything

[agile dome]

#role-assignment #735196255483068497

[formal orchid]

[agile dome]

Cause you didn't have roles earlier so I don't know, then try recruitment ps

[formal orchid]

Ok thank you

[left lake]

what should i set the tether distance too on non dedicated

nothing seems to be working anymore

[slate widget]

no higher than 3k. higher numbers cause issues. whats the problem tho? they usually aren't game breaking just annoying.

[left lake]

they just dont work and they get tp'd back anyway

i've tried. 99999, 20000, 10000, 200, 100. all dont work

[slate widget]

ah, caves, boss fights, and sometimes randomly (load points) will still pull.

what map?

[left lake]

aberration, im not playing at the moment but whenever my friends go to the red zone they get tp'd

[slate widget]

yeah, the different zones on ab are load points. its actually a lot better than it used to be.

[left lake]

and now the tether distance dont work in other places too

[slate widget]

yeah, the tether on ab and center are extremely bad. they have a lot of the random load points.

[left lake]

beforehand i had it on 10000 like i did for other maps and it was working fine

[slate widget]

load points ignore the tether distance. they will always teleport

most maps they are in caves (except the bigger ones which might have them around).
but ab and center have them everywhere

[left lake]

even when i go there too though the tether distance wasnt working

/they could go like 200m away like default

[slate widget]

thats weird maybe red zone has multiple load points. I heard they fixed a lot of the ab ones but maybe they only did it for the green/blue zone.

[silent matrix]

Is it possible to outrun a wyvern with a 250 movement speed argy?

[foggy niche]

is indi grinder really worth it?

idk if i want to drain all my metal, oil, and crystal on it 😭

[silent matrix]

only if you get a lot of unwanted loot

[somber igloo]

I need people to play with 🤦‍♂️

[summer temple]

on gen2 it is if you farm drops. but you can find them in the drops on gen2 as well

[turbid leaf]

It's really good for experience.

[tranquil forge]

hi

i want to learn mutation

can you guys teach me?

[foggy niche]

no.

ngl look up a video its not simple enough to just type out 😭
idk why its so complicated tbh

[tranquil forge]

i wanna start rex army

[silent matrix]

That's kinda what this server is for man.

[silent matrix]

A lot of incest

Not even joking you have to breed the siblings of your dinos until you eventually get a mutation

Imo it takes too much time and it's not rlly worth

[foggy niche]

unhelpful confusing clumps of text? lol

some things just end up worse when trying to explain them in a way like this ngl

[old zealot]

So ehh, is it allowed to block every single metal spawn on pvp servers? xD joined an LDL and every spawn is blocked.

[noble lichen]

Setting up our gacha’s, we got one for obsidian and one for pearls, both males being kept in seperate bases. We figured we may as well get females for both of them. But weren’t sure what to do with them in terms of resources.
Thinking about just making out their crafting skill and using them for loot.
What do you guys like to do with your gacha?

[silent matrix]

No for questions. That is literally what this channel is for, if you can't be helpful don't respond to his message.

[foggy niche]

#bobs-with-probs

this is the questions channel isnt it 🗿

[silent matrix]

Both can be used for questions.

[foggy niche]

ok but dont act like this is a channel dedicated to them lol

[silent matrix]

That's kinda all people use it for:/

[old zealot]

[foggy niche]

ew

looks like a waterskin to me

[old zealot]

Im going to mess with these guys blocking every damn resource spawn. Probably wont get anywhere, but if i can f*** with them i see it as a win.

[foggy niche]

any reason to use anything other than flexible pipes?

im assuming it has some sort of drawback considering other ones exist but i dont see any 💀

[silent matrix]

Hey how do I craft cryos at green ob on extinction???

[midnight hazel]

just took down two titanosaurs with four shadowmanes. feelsgudman

[turbid leaf]

The obelisks on extinction do not have terminals.

Not in the city terminals, the titan terminals.

Or do an osd.

[cinder hearth]

Do u have to like fight the titans to use them or can u just fly over there and use it?

[agile dome]

You can use them anytime without need to fight the titans

[cinder hearth]

Oh Pog, thanks

[odd stirrup]

my friend made a server manager server to us so we can play with mods
the first two days playing were working fine but today when I tried joining the server it appeared "copying mod data to game directory"
what is happening?

[tranquil geyser]

It's downloading the mods

[silent matrix]

whats better to farm iron a magmasaur or a anky

[uncut geyser]

A tek stryder

[grim forum]

Therizinos for dragon, rexes for megapithecus and broodmother

[silent matrix]

therizinos for all*

not allowed in

yes

[grim forum]

U can use them in tek cave but that's it

Because dragon does percentage based damage and he does less damage to herbivores also herbivores can heal with veggie cake

[grim forum]

I mean u could do that too

Not sure how many veggie cakes honestly but u want 19 therizinos and 1 yutyrannus

[gentle stump]

I do 20 cakes per theri for boss fights

[uncut geyser]

Uhh... We just do 3 people on deinonychus on official pvp for alpha dragon

[odd heart]

OP players xD

[uncut geyser]

I mean no we have like, 900% melee and the bleeding stacks on bosses, and at 20k hp with the pack boost they don't die so easily since usually the fire won't hit them if you sit in the feet

And for alpha monkey it's easier just to use a melee mana or velo and sit on the ledge above it, you can do it solo

Spider is annoying and there's a lot of ways to do it, but the easiest is megatherium spam

For Tek cave it's kind of user choice, but rexes are still best for it

For SE, I use wyverns if I'm solo, rexes if I'm not

Rag boss is definitely still rhinos and yuty, same with valg

[odd heart]

Monkey has a ledge in the arena?

Island arena?

[uncut geyser]

Yeah if you go past the gate up to the left right away there's a ramp to a ledge

[odd heart]

I always just bring it to the spawn area and beat it up

[uncut geyser]

I mean if you have the group of DPS dinos yeah I do that too when I use allos or rexes

[odd heart]

Theris are pretty much good for all bosses

Except the titans

[uncut geyser]

Official pvp theriz are capped on melee so the hp is bred down that's why we don't do that anymore

[odd heart]

I didn’t know that xD

Also iirc u only need like 23k or something health on theris

[uncut geyser]

We're hatching 9k or 10k HP on them so...

Either way we just do whatever requires the lowest number of dinos

Like on Rockwell people use stegos

And shotguns

[odd heart]

Shotguns everybody uses but stegos?

Isn’t it better to take a drake and 1 or 2 reapers

[uncut geyser]

You don't get damaged by the balls as much and we have capped HP on them

[odd heart]

Nice

I see stegos as a mid game wood/thatch/berry harvester 💀

[uncut geyser]

So you get 50% damage resistance as a rider and they have 66% damage resistance in the defense mode that's why they're good to tank

Like I said there's different ways to do all the bosses, but on official pvp we only do them for engrams and element so we find ways to do them that are fast and easy. People do alpha moeder with a megachelon and a giga

Gen 1 half of the game uses theriz, the other half uses rhinos

Idk wtf people do for gen 2 I did it on foot

[odd heart]

Damn u real OP fr fr

Gen1 boss fight is a scam

[uncut geyser]

It really is, I hate having to find someone to launch it

In theory you can use any dino that has higher than 25 base damage to do any island boss

You just need to breed them up really good

Like if you breed kentros to 1k melee and 30k HP with cakes you could probably do all the bosses on alpha on island

Or if you did chalicotheriums with 50k HP and 900 melee

@viral shore https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/680051-buff-older-dinos-that-are-still-in-use-in-pvepvp/ please look at my forum post and consider implementing some of these changes so we can boom boom boom ARK one last time before ARK 2 is released

[odd heart]

It ain’t happening, TLC won’t come

[uncut geyser]

It's not a tlc just some easy code changes

[odd heart]

Also u missed the Titanoboa TLC

[uncut geyser]

No they did that ages ago

You used to not be able to tame them now you can

[odd heart]

They’re still bad af

[uncut geyser]

They aren't supposed to be good

[odd heart]

Compare them to real life

[uncut geyser]

They have such a garbage hit box anyway that it balances out

[odd heart]

No creature got scammed so hard

As titanoboa

[uncut geyser]

Nah allos and brontos got scammed pretty hard with how badly they got nerfed

[wet dust]

Anyone down to play ark

[odd heart]

Allos and Brontos viable in Pve

Great gen1 hunt mission runners and big boi base respectively

[uncut geyser]

Even then allos are currently a carno reskin and brontos getting thrown around by theriz makes no sense

[odd heart]

Eh??

[uncut geyser]

WC set the drag weight of allos to the same as carnos as well as a lot of the other physical parameters. The only difference is that allos have a higher move speed, which is reduced by 10% when tamed, the pack function, and higher HP

And with carnos doing a bleed effect, they're functionally the same

[odd heart]

Kinda true ig

[uncut geyser]

And I know on PvE thylas have 1200 melee and those bleed now so they're better than allos on PvE as well since thylas have higher base damage than them which makes no sense at all

Brontos receive knock back from theriz which is really fucking dumb. Idk what WC did to bronto physics but they're wrong.

People stopped using brontos because bad physics and paracertheriums literally had higher HP and could actually climb hills and take up way less space

[odd heart]

Brontos are scam

[uncut geyser]

If they just fixed the physics and HP gain and made it so they can't be dismounted, people would use brontos in pvp for things other than farming crystal and mesh hitting

Brontos are absolutely cracked for crystal farming on gen1 though

[odd heart]

Crystal farming??

[tall nebula]

I am pretty sure, I haven't tried it yet, but it might be possible to do it on foot. With a shotgun ofc

[tall nebula]

now ppl use the amargamargasaurus

[vast lodge]

bro why can i get the tropeognathus saddle on ragnarok if the tropeo is only found in crystal isles ?

[sweet fossil]

Lunar crystal

It's plants

[vast lodge]

they tryna scam me or just me being dumb ?

[odd heart]

Hmm

[odd heart]

Scam

[tall nebula]

ok so WC devs were lazy and put all the community dino saddles in the generic island engrams. Also you can get tropeos in Fjordur if you want

[vast lodge]

oh ok thx, not gonna get them any time soon ig, playing and finishing ragnarok first

[tall nebula]

rag is a good map. Very easy to find overpowered tames. I started on that map then went to the island and wondered why everything was low leveled

[vast lodge]

ye i got the difficulty multis tho, just tamed a lvl 202 anky like it was nothing (jk it used up all of my tranqs)

[tall nebula]

lol yeah that takes just a few tranqs

[uncut geyser]

Tanking on an amargasaurus isn't done even though you can because they can get netted and don't have platform saddles. They're better for cave fighting

[tall nebula]

oh they can get netted? Dang i wish there were net guns in sotf

[uncut geyser]

SOTF is a different set of balances. Everything has different stats so different dinos are better. If you want to be funny on SOTF, tame a bunch of chalicos

The rock throw does the most damage out of any dino you can tame that isn't a boss

[tall nebula]

or you can just go ahead and make an army of compys, set them on wander, and then once dead just posses them

[uncut geyser]

At that point just do hyaenadons since they buff really well in packs

[tall nebula]

but anyways ima stop with sotf talk bc the mods don't like it

at least in ark general

[uncut geyser]

Fair enough. Yeah I also kind of quit playing ark because it's so stale and they think adding content instead of fixing existing content will make the game better

[tall nebula]

That's kinda what makes ark itself

[uncut geyser]

Like it makes no sense basilisks lay eggs and you can't breed them. I would use the shit out of them if I could breed them. Get HP and melee really high, level all move speed, knock everything the fuck out

[tall nebula]

That's why basilisks don't lay eggs

well fertilized ones anyways

[uncut geyser]

WC small brain. Like, I would totally nerf the shit out of them if I made them breedable. Same with griffins.

WC just big mad some modder made better creature decisions than them

[tall nebula]

griffins are one of the ones i don't understand but i still really like the game

[uncut geyser]

And if they want to kill ARK 1 like I think they're trying to, they should implement everything I suggest

[tall nebula]

i mean if ark II is good enough then they might succeed at that

[uncut geyser]

No it's catered to a completely different gaming audience. Look at Atlas. It's floundering even though it took similar concepts to ARK. Ark is such a bad game that it's good. Ark 2 is just going to be prim plus the game because they took feedback from the wrong players who just happened to be more vocal. Same reason that some dinos got completely ruined by nerfs. Directed, biased, feedback from a small sample size. I understand expanding story mode, but adding NPCs is small brain for multiplayer. Now you just have a garbage Conan Exiles clone

[vast lodge]

Imo ark 2 will be lit, no matter if it kills ark 1 or not, trust the process, and even if they add npcs, you never know if they will be in multiplayer or not (idk i dont really follow the ark 2 thing), a big thing in ark 2 is still probably gonna be singleplayer

[carmine widget]

yall really need to nerf carnos footsteps like everytime a carno comes at me i get cardiac arrest

[spark bay]

is the best way to get pelt/wool to just go in snow biome and kill wolves

im not in raganarok

im a switch player i only have the island

do i just kill them

or do i use the scissors

i only have the island

[odd heart]

Island has Ovis, check near north of redwoods

They work on Ovis

Give u wool upon used

[spark bay]

is that part of redwood more dangerous than the rest of redwoods

[odd heart]

Yes it’s the river wheee 1 side is redwood 1 side is mountains

So a fcking dangerous area

[spark bay]

i was told i could just go into the cold area and kill a bunch of wolves for pelt

[odd heart]

U can

[spark bay]

i can prolly survive a little while without cold armor in the cold area

[odd heart]

Mammoths are best probably

Anf the best way is to harvest w chainsaw

[atomic torrent]

Actually mammoths and rhinos are less dangerous than a pack of wolves and give more pelt

Use a metal pickaxe to get pelt I believe

[odd heart]

No chainsaws or hatchet

Pick is worst xD

[atomic torrent]

But axe gives you more hide and less pelt

Doesn’t it…?

[odd heart]

Pick gives more meat

Hatchet is relatively better

[atomic torrent]

Yeah but we don’t want meat

We want pelt

[silent matrix]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Pelt

[odd heart]

Told ya

Also they don’t got the chainsaw 😐

[atomic torrent]

I stand corrected lol, it is the hatchet

[silent matrix]

yeah, kinda weird because chainsawing is amazing

@serene sundial

[ocean trout]

quick question... is there any way to fix this issue? a friend and i are doing a complete ark playthrough and just got to aberration but we noticed an issue where the glowbugs are essentially "duplicating" their glowy particle effect and overtaking the area. is there a way to fix this??

i would post a screenshot but i'm unable to

[foggy niche]

can you just dinowipe?

[ocean trout]

i don't think that would help permanently. the particle effects are literally just lingering after the glowbug has disappeared

[foggy niche]

oh uh

yeah i got no clue

[ocean trout]

not to mention the glowbugs are also just... floating directly upwards ascending to heaven

[foggy niche]

can you just disable glowbugs as a whole or is that not possible?

[ocean trout]

that's what we might have to do, but idk how to do that

[foggy niche]

if you are on pc im sure you can find a way
im not really sure how myself though tbh

[fallow pulsar]

Can someone nice help me?

[fierce pollen]

Hey guys, my friend gets "connection time out" when trying to join my non-dedicated server, any solutions?

[ocean trout]

aren't you able to use supply drops as terminals? you might just straight up need a tek transmitter

or you could use the mission terminals i think... honestly i forget

[rustic flint]

for me I just reboot both ends of the game and check internet

[fierce pollen]

internet not an issue here

[ocean trout]

hmm.. do you play with any mods?

[fallow pulsar]

Thx

[fierce pollen]

Yea

[slow sedge]

there isnt any fungal wood on the island right?

[hidden surge]

Erm there is a special command that will tell you coords in console I will ask FM he told me once

[upper jolt]

Lmao 1 fiber

My brain goes crazy if i hoard

[hidden surge]

If you type CCC into console it will give you exact dimensional coords XYZ which would really help Devs

It will copy them for pasting

[hidden surge]

Often I go unprepared to fights so I think why am I unprepared, resources right, so I always hoard and grind, never use the stuff and when I I'm in the same predicament it's less because of resources and more because I spend them on building and not ammo, armour, consumables

I've now made a kit mannequin and just shoved it with things I always take regardless

[upper jolt]

Ohh I’m the total opposite lmao I hate building but I’ll have 1000s of bullets narcotics extra armor and all that

should i shoot tranq arrows at smthn im taming when i forget narcotics and narcoberries arent keeping up

[fair wyvern]

I wouldn’t, will ruin taming effectiveness which means it’ll tame out at a lower level

it's just lore stuff, you don't have to pay much attention to it if you don't want to. intro cutscenes were added in a recent update

helena is the person who wrote the dossiers and a bunch of other explorer notes (collectable lore boxes)

the people mentioned are gonna be the characters in the ark animated series

Yeah

isnt that what helps healing?

They have good healing so their health isn't super duper important

Nope, nothing increases their healing per second

But increasing stamina allowes them to heal for longer

ah ok

it only has 29 in stam and then 36 in melee

Good melee and health

Stam isn't a massive issue cause that's gonna be upgraded alot

true

Lol

700 metal per rock witta magmasaur

Magmas op

do they smelt on rider?

Nope

Only in the magmas invitory, when smelting is enabled

well thats what I mean I dont know why I said on rider lol

Ah

is it fast?

Uhh probably comparable to a rex

no no no the smelt speed

Oooh. Same speed as a normal forge iirc

darn

I just keep 7 of them at metal spawns across the map on smelting

getting one egg was very hard for me so that will take a sec for sure

And when I metal I go to them all and they'll have 2k+ each

[silent matrix]

Aye. I used a kangaroo and whip to get then early

Ah I play on fjordur and use invis desmodus

Should be pretty easy then

they really like staying right next to the nest tho

Ah. Might need to lure them twords the entrance and away from the nest then

also do magmasaurs do good dmg?

Initially comparable to a rex, but have poor melee damage gains per level

yes I saw that I upgraded a few times but it only went up a few percent

I only pump weight on them

They're apex creatures and like nothing will attack them, so a ton of health isn't needed

oh cool

Yup

i came here hoping to learn more about ark and to see if anyone knew if a 2x event was on ps4 rn cuz a few people i know said there was but i see nothing about it

[jade hornet]

... refering to the xbox version with just a controller

@median socket check news

....no

[silent matrix]

Do you mean ark mobile?

[jade hornet]

#server-rates

[jade hornet]

wow... lol i will let it go at that

[median socket]

thx

[odd heart]

I think he means using Xcould/Geforce now bcz ARK Mobile looks crap even on Ultra

[silent matrix]

Okay that'd make a lot more sense

[jade hornet]

i down vote this LOL

[silent matrix]

What?

[jade hornet]

but frfr, i modify my custom variables ini so it works how i want

[median socket]

i played mobile i didnt like it at all

[jade hornet]

idk, im lost also lol

im a keyboard and mouse guy.. i cant do ark any other way

[silent matrix]

I was initially a mobile player and loved it, until I got it on console and was blown away. Now I play on pc and am still blown away

[jade hornet]

triple boom

[median socket]

most games i play same i just happen to play ark on ps4 lol

[odd heart]

I moved from Mobile —> PC

Truely one of the moves of all time

[jade hornet]

is PS cross compatible with anything????

[silent matrix]

Ps4 ark is pretty garbage compared to pc tbh

[jade hornet]

all the cheaters play on Epic for a fact

[odd heart]

Although I went from Epic on Mobile to playing Medium on PC but still 😂

[median socket]

no idea

[silent matrix]

Not that I know of

[jade hornet]

and for a fact BattleEye does not stop cheaters, go figure

[median socket]

i will say this the only issue i have at all is going around player bases besides that looks beautiful

[silent matrix]

Pc still looks better though

[silent matrix]

No invitory shudders or freezes?

[jade hornet]

that is the same on xbox and pc

[median socket]

nope

[jade hornet]

xbox and ps are made to have high end graphics

[median socket]

had 3 crashes in the last 3 months all because of player bases nothing else

[silent matrix]

Huh. Anytime I opened an invitory it would lag or studder for a second before doing it

[median socket]

its about as smooth as butter otherwise

[silent matrix]

Thats how I'd describe my pc experience

[jade hornet]

oof, @median socket i know what crashes.. its the mega tribe super structures

[median socket]

[jade hornet]

ohhh jeiger.. mmmmmm

[median socket]

im playing on a pve server i started on a pvp but the people would not let me spawn kept killing me as i spawned so never got my foot in the door

[jade hornet]

whats crazy is we are a gaming team and started with other games and ended up removing our presence from all games but ark lol

we have the whole kaboots.. website, discord, bot, ya ya ya

[median socket]

awsome

[jade hornet]

ya we only do pvp but we ally local tribes, since there is plenty of incoming but wholes that seek to be griefers or shit heads

[odd heart]

While ur at it vote for creature guidelines, we need it in the game 100%

[median socket]

to be honest being 50 and still playing games idk why knowing that makes me smile lol

[silent matrix]

anyone on ps tryna start a base together and join vc and stuff on gen 2 on my server? Hmu

is anyone a pc player but have ark on the microsoft store

[soft bane]

I assume its the same as other things, put it in the last slot on your bar, get really close and use it on them

[noble lichen]

So, on a dedicated server, is your server suppose to shut down immediately when a mod update becomes available?

We had a couple close calls over the last few weeks with this happening. But we managed to update the mods and get back in before any harm was done.
However today, my friend had just hatched a bunch of eggs before the server went down, and when we managed to get back in, all the babies were dead

She’s really torn up about it, and I’m just hoping to find a way to prevent this from happening.

[odd heart]

Disable auto downloads in Steam

U can google how to do it and do it manually when u want

[noble lichen]

In steam okay, I had disabled auto updates in Gportal, but that specified it was only game updates but awesome

I’ll do just that, thank you

[odd heart]

Oh wait dedicated as in Gportal not ur own PC?

[noble lichen]

Yeeeee

I’m sorry if I used the wrong words

[odd heart]

Sorry I have absolutely no idea how it works then, maybe @tough yarrow can hlp

[noble lichen]

Thank you for your time 🙂
I must have done something wrong at some point, because I can’t find many people that have this issue online

It’s made us very afraid to do boss fights, because getting wiped for free and losing our entire army because of a mod update is not appealing
