[fair wyvern]

Collecting explorer notes for quick easy levels

[flat onyx]

Already have a leveled character

So Fjordur alright

[fair wyvern]

that would be my recommendation

[flat onyx]

What about lost island?

[fair wyvern]

not as many players usually so it’s a good choice for staying hidden but it doesn’t have as many sources of loot drops/element

[compact plover]

@silent matrix I play with 1.2x xp

MY igaunadon mouth is huge

[silent matrix]

lmao

[daring sky]

my personal favourite map is scorched earth

[zealous holly]

omg ini

[honest shadow]

hello is this worth buying?

[odd heart]

Yes

[hollow rain]

Anyone having trouble transferring

[brave eagle]

How rare is 3 150 allos

[quaint olive]

Mine is Aberration

[tall sleet]

hey. anyone wanna play on an LAN server with me? im just bored.

[wanton thorn]

Does anyone know why when i try to join servers on xbox its says could not retrieve address

[stuck violet]

Pretty rare

[stuck violet]

Fjordur is great. Lots of space and building spots and hiding spots

Also not that hard to start in

[acoustic vault]

Looking for someone to play with on ps4

[tough yarrow]

@acoustic vault #735196277221883964

[hollow wraith]

Bro my least

[quaint olive]

I play in a good PvE community if you are interested

[tall sleet]

im kinda looking for someone to play with. not a lot of people really. just fun.

[quaint olive]

ya fair enough

[tall sleet]

what mods does the server youre on have??

[quaint olive]

none at all, its nice actually, but its on a cluster with gen 1+2, ab, island, crystal island, valguerro etc

so you can transfer between them

rates are pretty high, its pretty easy on here, but I am enjoying it

[tall sleet]

did you see my dm?

[quaint olive]

got it

[silent matrix]

Interesting

[neat rain]

its kinda sad that i love ark but i feel like there is no place for me anymore. only tryhards on official so u stand no chance and unofficial is often plagued by admin abuse or overtuned stuff

[silent matrix]

Yo guys, if i have a very good yutyrannus and 19 rexes with 3 health mutations and 10+ melee mutations each, would that be able to kill megapethicus boss (alfa) if they’re leveled enough, imprinted and with good saddles?

[neat rain]

if the rexes have good base stats yes

dont need mutations

[silent matrix]

You dont?

I’ve never done a boss before

[neat rain]

the saddle armor is important

[silent matrix]

And just watched syntac getting 100’s of mutations before doing bosses on his vids

[silent matrix]

How much armor is a “good” saddle?

[neat rain]

70+

[silent matrix]

Okay and for therizinosaur and megatherium, do they need mutations? And how much saddle armor would be good

[neat rain]

u only use megatherium for broodmother

and rexes are better than theris

[silent matrix]

I know and therizino for dragon

[neat rain]

we used velos but i think they got nerfed since then

[silent matrix]

But when im doing dragon and broodmother does my therizinos and megatheium need mutations

[silent matrix]

Velos?

[neat rain]

velonasaur

they can shoot "bullets"

[silent matrix]

Wouldn’t they die quickly to dragon

[neat rain]

yea i think so. we had really good ones with high mutations so we shredded that dragon very fast

but with rexes i think u can do all bosses

[silent matrix]

Im gonna use therizinos for dragon so they dont get destroyed by the fire tho, i just dont know if mutations is needed for alfa dragon

[agile dome]

if you can get deinonychus they are great and cheap to fight dragon too

[silent matrix]

I have a very good deinonychus

[agile dome]

you can solo dragon with 1 deino

[silent matrix]

How?

[agile dome]

stay under the dargon feet and hit with bleed attack

[neat rain]

mutations arent needed for any boss. just good base stats and breed once for imprint

[silent matrix]

So if i have 19 deinonychus and one yuty, it would be very easy?

I’ll try that then i think

[agile dome]

i tried with 1 deino and also tried with 15 deino, for me i felt that using 1 single deino is better than using full squad of them

[silent matrix]

Maybe an army of therizinos and 1 deino would work?

My spawn point was a small peninsula that I couldn’t swim away from due to sharks, and I couldn’t explore due to Spinosaur. I decided to stay and do engrams and make a small base. Now I got a three story 3x4 house and never got off the peninsula

[agile dome]

the thing is boss aways will always target and goes for dinos with the rider

so its depends on how you gonna control them in the boss fights

[silent matrix]

But i mean, it probably wouldn’t hurt with the therizinos

[agile dome]

yeah they get less fire damages compared to carnivours

[mint socket]

can anyone recommend me pve server on pc with slightly increased rates and active people?

[neat rain]

that doesnt make sense. theris have feathers, carnos dont

[tough yarrow]

Can look in #800537627752398899, or create a lfg in #735196255483068497

[neat rain]

can theris heal from cake?

[mint socket]

okay thank you

[stuck violet]

I mean they eat berries.. so probably?

[quick void]

How do you increase structure limit on ark? the settings on gportal says its on 4k, but in game its only at 1.9k

[silent matrix]

No

Some people say you do but you'll be fine without them.

[severe crag]

Morning.

Hey so here is some fun bug.

Name a dino 333, 444, etc, and it truncates it to just 33 or 44

Because its not possible i guess anymore to have dino #444 anymore. :/

[stuck violet]

I mean… a raft was always an option

[fleet vine]

somone tell me when arkpoc wipes

[silent matrix]

I don’t take shortcuts in life (digital life i mean, i take plenty of shortcuts irl)

[graceful geyser]

Hello

[stuck violet]

It’s not called a shortcut, it’s called “not aggroing sharks when their several kilometers away”

[silent matrix]

looking back, it would’ve been nice, but by the time i could get the raft, i felt at home (i progress quickly, but will pursue my goals first)

[stuck violet]

Oh are you talking about that flat little area above south 1?

That’s near the swamp and above the south 1 river

[silent matrix]

i forgot, it’s toward the bottom of the map, small peninsula, and i think it’s South east 1 (i forgor)

third message in a row using parenthesis, feel like i’m overusing them

[tough yarrow]

Using them is better than not using them at all and having people guess at what you mean

[stuck violet]

But it’s near a swamp and between two forests right… with a lot of rocks

And a wide flat plains area

Also there’s always a spino near the bottom at the river right

[silent matrix]

i ain’t did much exploring, but it’s not far from the red… tower thing, just a long walk

[stuck violet]

Yeah ik what your talking about then

[silent matrix]

it’s the first spawn point that was prompted i think

on The Island

[tawdry topaz]

does anyone have a good snow map mod ive tried surviving in scorched earth and that wasn't very fun but i kinda wanna try the opposite

[tough yarrow]

West Zone 1, 2, and 3 are on red obelisk

[silent matrix]

this one wasn’t exactly there, but it’s quite a walk

[tough yarrow]

Theyre considered red obelisk spawns, is what I mean.

[stuck violet]

It’s like a little above south 1… on like a little elevated place

It’s decently close to red ob tho

[silent matrix]

doesn’t the red one have a tyrana there?

[stuck violet]

Wym

[silent matrix]

t-rex, but less childish name

[tough yarrow]

It might if they wander

[stuck violet]

Yeah… wym by that

[silent matrix]

t-rex has been its common term, but it’s overused to the point i’m embarrassed to say it anymore

oh wait, i misunderstood the question

[tough yarrow]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map/The_Island?creature=Rex

[silent matrix]

isn’t there t-rex near the red obelisk?

[tough yarrow]

Well, they aren't called t-rex in ark, if that helps lol

[silent matrix]

oh thx, i spawned at Lat 86 (assuming) and Long 57

[tough yarrow]

Yeah they can wander

[silent matrix]

now i’m confused

the map looks different than the way i saw it

[tough yarrow]

It shouldn't, its just a data map

[silent matrix]

i mean, the way i saw it geologically

of course the map is drawn, but it’s hard to tell if that is where i spawn

[tough yarrow]

It's about right, if you spawned South 1 or even South 2

[silent matrix]

maybe i’m just overthinking it

[tough yarrow]

Interactive map instead maybe?
http://www.arkdb.info/

[silent matrix]

oh wait

Latitude 71 Longitude 76

thx

that was mentally destroying

[hard nimbus]

whats the recommended health for boss shadowmanes?

[gentle stump]

on official my shadowmanes had anywhere from 50 to 80k hp. depends on the boss

[spark bay]

how low do quetzals fly

like close to the height barrier or just above trees

[gentle stump]

they like to stay high up in the air. its very very rare to find a quetz down low

[spark bay]

so i should stay closer to height limit

[gentle stump]

most of the time they stay above the trees

[spark bay]

oh

good

bc ive been going above tbe trees looking for them for a while

ive almost completely filled in my map now

[gentle stump]

I find them mainly above the red woods and near green ob

[spark bay]

is green ob top right corner i forget

near carnivore island

[gentle stump]

green is in the south

[silent matrix]

middle right

a little bit souther than middle

[spark bay]

ima just assume its that giant mountainnorth of top right redwoods

[silent matrix]

blue is snow

[spark bay]

oh nvm i see it

[silent matrix]

i assume

[spark bay]

i was just looking the wrong direction

how is that south thats more like east

[silent matrix]

what’s the ark show?

animated series or something

[spark bay]

idk

[silent matrix]

i keep hearing about it

[thick lotus]

an ark animated series

[magic tulip]

#ark-animated-series check the pins in that channel

[stuck violet]

On yt

The dodo is the best character

[proud grove]

is there a dino that poops passively more often?

[heady vector]

Phomia

[silent matrix]

not sure but you can customize dino poop intervals in the specific settings

[heady vector]

Force feed a phomia stim berries and it will machine gun poop.

[silent matrix]

and then eat all your narcoberries for fun

you need the rest

[proud grove]

I'm looking for passive pooping

[heady vector]

Well you can get way more poop with a phomia in five minutes that you get with a normal Dino pooping in three hours.

[proud grove]

understood, but I have other things to do with those five minutes.

[silent matrix]

@silent matrix add me, other acc is locked cuz phone service is down

[lavish jasper]

What's the best DLC expansion to play on ARK? I've only ever tried the base maps.

[silent matrix]

when they gonna add ini back

cause the games at a all time low rn because everyone with a shit pc including me cant play the game lmao

[proud grove]

Fjordur

[lavish jasper]

Shame it isn't on Xbox apparently haha.

[silent matrix]

Ok

[unborn wagon]

It should be, it's a free expansion 🙂

[lavish jasper]

Oh it is! Very nice.

[chilly horizon]

Sooo a titanasaur just spawned at a swamp by the beach. And idk what i should do with, it is very irritating with all them foot steps. (But if im correct there is only one of them in world, and taming is pretty hard)

[silent matrix]

Art sucks bc everywhere u go raptors spawn and hard to craft raptors are faster than u can use ABILITY tho they re more annoyiing than spinos

[proud grove]

lower camera shake

[chilly horizon]

Oh i didnt know about that, thanks

[lavish jasper]

Just bola them lol

[proud grove]

my tek crop plots produce 41 berries per hour

[stuck violet]

Kill it

[stuck violet]

You can easily kill them

[chilly horizon]

Doesnt the world only have 1?

[stuck violet]

So?

[chilly horizon]

I dont want to waste it

[stuck violet]

If you kill it then another one will spawn anyway

[chilly horizon]

Oh

I have a lil problem now

[stuck violet]

And their titanosaurs… it’s hard to miss

Just hit the head

[chilly horizon]

But im very sentimental...

I love her

[proud grove]

Is your base within it's tail swing?

[stuck shadow]

Guys, I have no Idea how the hell people can Breed 200 damage stat dinos

[proud grove]

either years or boosted rates and mods

[cinder lake]

my friend is constantly getting connection timeout thing when i host non dedicated session does anyone know how to fix it? and he was able to join like 10 minutes ago he crashed and now cant join

[proud grove]

most likely internet issues from someone's end

[cinder lake]

ok ty

[silent matrix]

i keep accidentally asking game questions in general

why does the game lag incredibly when i look at the item info of titan heart thing and poglin mask?

[grim forum]

you literally wont get alot of poop passively, the only way is a phiomia

[merry pecan]

Anyone know where to get Apex Electronics and Apex Polymer on the Ark Supreme mod? 🫠

[proud grove]

I'm not asking for a lot of poop. I just want the most poop without doing anything.

[grim forum]

Then just wait for ur dinos to poop it out

[proud grove]

Yes, i know. I was wondering if some dinos had a faster poop rate than others.

[trail patrol]

how come barely any unofficial servers appear?

[stuck violet]

Just get a Phiomia and spam stimberries… or make your Dino’s hurt and wait for em to heal and eat

[elfin island]

🗿

[spark bay]

does exiting to main menu and starting up latest save refresh dino spawns

like when i start up that save new dinos will be there

that are different from the last time i was on that save

[silent matrix]

guys health mutations or melee on therizinos? its for dragon!

[chrome crystal]

60 fps on lowest settings at 1440p ultrawide with a 2080ti seems off.... am i missing something?

[silent matrix]

settings?

[chrome crystal]

is there a room i can put a screenshot?

found it, i put a screenshot in the fanart/screenshots channel

[silent matrix]

view distance on at least high and sky quality i cant see but that should also be all the way down

[chrome crystal]

i put it on the low preset and turned off light bloom, I am just surprised at the frame rate considering what I get on any other ue4 game

[silent matrix]

high view distance gives more fps usually

[plucky gyro]

ah ark is a very strange game

devs on par with yandere simulator's lol

[fair wyvern]

At least ark released

[plucky gyro]

oh didn't you hear? it finished, and is released

[fair wyvern]

Their website says otherwise

[plucky gyro]

does it? lol

or maybe I'm thinking wrong
was it that it got leaked and someone else finished it for yandere dev?

its been so long

[fair wyvern]

idk, I don’t keep up with games like that xd

also, ark ark ark, definitely not talking about a different game in this channel

[spark sequoia]

Anyone else having trouble today with ark servers? I been getting the “cannot retrieve address” all day for any server

[silent matrix]

guys i need urgent help

im lost in the ice cave in ragnarok can someone send me a link of the cave map

[plucky gyro]

ark is cool ark is epic

uh give me 2 seconds and ill try and find one

actually am I even allowed to send links in here

[silent matrix]

idk send in dms pls

[granite wasp]

Hey guys i kinda have a problem, so i bought ark and me and my friend want to play together in a server just for us. I tried to make a server for us but when it was at the loading screen it just showed a black screen and bring us back to the menu so we cant join a server (i tried joining a non dedicated server and a public i hope u guys can help)

[formal yew]

anyone wants to start a tribe on a x5 server? either pve or pvp

[gentle stump]

#role-assignment and then you will see the recruitment channels. might have better luck asking in those channels

[pulsar horizon]

Search up your problem on google and you’ll prolly find a reddit thread about it

[granite wasp]

K thx

[tough yarrow]

@granite wasp #unofficial-setup-help for server setup help and stuff

[chilly island]

So we gave up on changing screen orientation on PS4 ark but now our question is how do we save the world because we assumed it autosaved every 15 minutes but it appears to not ..so we played for two hours and lost that world I guess . How are we meant to save to keep a game going without continuous play.

[austere tartan]

Do I unlock all tek engrams from alpha manticore and dragon on ragnarok

[upper basin]

[turbid leaf]

You get the normal engrams, plus the exclusive ones if you kill both.

[silent matrix]

Now no ones typing🥹

[fair gust]

The word censor is incredibly bad now. What's wrong with "buy seeds in hexa shop" what's banned there? I can't even say I need 10 items cause 10 is banned

[glacial bay]

X

np

[sturdy shadow]

is there the Carcharodontosaurus on the island ?

and where do gigas spawn?😅

with mountains and so right?

[fair gust]

Hello

[sturdy shadow]

thanks

kk

[green belfry]

watching a war unfold in the chat of Valguero 🍿🥤

So if someone deliberately builds to destroy resource spawn points, and threatens people to do it to ALL spawn points if they try to stop them… is that a reportable offense? These kids are talking to each other as if they’re on two sides of a war zone

“Do as I say or we’ll spam all spawn points so the whole server suffers” feels like a supervillain line and not something you post in a game xD

[past sentinel]

is this on official server?

[green belfry]

Yes

[past sentinel]

#reporting-players

That best way to find out

[green belfry]

Thank you

[harsh cape]

if its pvp, not much will happen, if its pve they'll pop in and tell them to take it down most likely.

[green belfry]

It’s pve and it’s the first time I’ve personally seen anything like this happen

[slate widget]

could count as game blocking but that depends on the GM I guess could also count as structure spamming
both are against the Code of conduct on PvE

[stuck violet]

They spawn in some spots in the arctic I think

[limber current]

Both snow mountains to be more specific

[crisp sandal]

sombody got some good rathole on fjordur i been raided for 20th time

[silent matrix]

why does my game get extremely laggy during the times that i hover over the poglin item skin to see the information? this also happens with the heart that grants xp (i forgor the name)?

[bronze sluice]

has the "play events whenever you want" event asset update dropped yet?

[fair gust]

The chat censor is so bad. What's wrong with "there are many spots in chalk hills"

[stuck violet]

Chibis?

[silent matrix]

idk

what’s that

[stable hornet]

hey i just started raising wyverns, but i don't understand how to keep him healty, neither do i understand how to raise his imprinting thing

If anyone could dm me or just ping me to discuss and trying to understand

[harsh cape]

oh yeh, pillar spam and stuff is frowned upon

[spark sedge]

Baby wyverns only eat wyvern milk

You can get this from knocking out female wyverns and looting them, or killing alpha wyverns

[stable hornet]

i have a few

[spark sedge]

They imprint normally, but if they want food it's always going to be milk

[stable hornet]

but when i force fed him, he raises his food bar to 2k then goes back to 800

i don't get it

[spark sedge]

That's all babies

You see their full stats at adult but that's not actually the max stats they have at that point in breeding

raising. maturing. words

[stable hornet]

okay that's what i thought

but why doesn't his stats grow with him its kinda stupid to me

anyways thats all i needed to know ty

[spark sedge]

Depending on your settings he'd probably just growing faster than the numbers are

Don't worry about it. If his food stat isn't at zero you're fine

If it is at zero get him some milk

[stable hornet]

alright alright

thanks a lot :D

[spark sedge]

np

[stable hornet]

Also is it normal that i can only interact with him every 8 hours, even tho with our server he'll be raised in the same amount of time

[spark sedge]

That's a factor of your imprint cuddle timer. If that's not modified to suit the enhanced breeding speed, it's going to just be at its default

Does your server have S+?

Or SS?

[stable hornet]

i don't even know what that is to be honest, i have my own server with bros

[spark sedge]

S+ and SS are different flavors of the same mod, one of the most popular structures mods. Has a lot of quality of life features. I would recommend looking into them

[stable hornet]

oh structure plus

we tried to put mods on our server but it refused to start with the mods

then we removed them and it worked just fine

so we're "vanilla"

[spark sedge]

That's... odd.

In any case though, if you want it imprinted without S+ and with sped up maturation you're going to have to reduce cuddle interval

[stable hornet]

what's the setting for that ?

i'm looking into server things but can't seem to find it

[lean relic]

hello

[spark sedge]

BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier= (How much imprint impacts the baby's stats)
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier= (How much each Imprint check imprints the baby)
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier= (How often they want cuddles)
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier= (How long do you have between cuddles before the quality starts to decrease)
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier= (How much it decreases if you screw up)

Or just ctrl+f "cuddle" in your ini folder

Fiddle around with the numbers until they work for you/your players

[stable hornet]

it seems i can't find that on omgserv hosting :/

do i have to look through FTP?

[spark sedge]

I mean, however you modified your growth settings should be how you fiddle with these ones. idk. I've never hosted a server

Can try #bobs-with-probs maybe

[bold shard]

Holy moley, after 2 years I finally did it 🥳 I cleared all 6 maps of ARK! totally worth it

[stable hornet]

Okay will do tmrw, also sent a ticket to the support, anyways thanks for your time and good night/evening or whatever ! ^~^

[spark bay]

is the best way to find a quetzal is to just roam around one of the boxes quetzal spawns in on your argie praying

on the island

[limber current]

Yes

[spark sedge]

If you're on the island, yeah, just roam the map and keep your eyes out

[proud grove]

Best way to find the dino you're looking, look for anything else and then you'll find it

[spark sedge]

you have to legitimately be looking for something else to fool the desire sensors, though

they're smart enough to know if you're just pretending

[quartz kraken]

I should grind down the ramshackle chests that's less armor right?
Or keep just incase

Should be I think chem bench

[robust acorn]

How long does it take for artifacts to respawn

[limber current]

Chemistry bench

[quartz kraken]

Yep

Engrams aren't always right

[limber current]

Chem bench is cheaper for its input to output ratio

[quartz kraken]

I believe the charge bat says 1 for all resources last I played but it's actually multiple of each

[limber current]

Since the Chemistry Bench consumes 4 times the materials in a single use, and produces 6 times the materials, and it is 2 times faster to craft in the Chemistry Bench than the mortar and pestle, the Chemistry Bench produces materials at 12 times the rate of the Mortar and Pestle.

From ark wiki

[quartz kraken]

Can't even craft it in mortar and pestle

[limber current]

Anyways, chem bench is the only place u can craft that resource

[limber current]

Ya, but he was asking about cheaper, that text is to tell him crafting in chem bench is much cheaper than mortar

[quiet hollow]

I have a question basically I rested all my sever stat to general but turned my diff level to max but no high level creatures are spawning what do i do

[proud grove]

what number is your max?

[quiet hollow]

1.0

[sullen sedge]

does anyone on xbox wanna play a pve server? there can be 10 players. i will buy a server i want to be able to have a long term ark srever

[proud grove]

type in 5.0 don't use the sliding bar

[quiet hollow]

Alright thanks

[proud grove]

you will probably have to wipe out all the current wild dinos

[spark bay]

i just saw a really high up tapejara and i thought it was a quetzal 💀

this game is messing with me at this point

[spark vortex]

is quetzal bases good?

[spark bay]

yes

[spark vortex]

can you build auto turrets on em to provide protection?

[spark bay]

just quetzals are the rarest dino in the game i think

prolly

[proud grove]

they are just uncommon

[spark bay]

way more than uncommon

[proud grove]

I usually have three or four exist on my maps

[spark bay]

only like 4 spawn in for the whole map

the map is big

its hard to find quetzals because of said big map

4 isnt a lot

[proud grove]

but they are in the sky hidden by nothing

[spark bay]

i dont have infinite render distance

[brave eagle]

i tamed a dilophosaur to keep my tribes allosaur pack entertained

[spark bay]

3hrs is a long time

ive been trying to find a quetzal since this morning

its almost 10pm now

lemme guess you arent on the island

yeah the corners of the map

reb ob green ob

thats where they spawn

its literally just giant rectangles that only leave part of the map without them spawming

wheres the right one

[inner pumice]

Anyone have stuff they can give on Xbox official

We will be your little dirty boys 😉

[torn pier]

They spawn anywhere in open airspace, and are at about the height of the volcano. There’s 2 ways you go about taming one: grappling hook and a parachute, or using a net gun

you can map my innards 😍

[normal bridge]

we are trying to use the giveengram command and it doesn't seem to work

i did enable cheat with password all the things you need to do and it doesn't work

[delicate anvil]

Did you confirm you are able to use cheats at all?

[cyan sedge]

render distance is capped, its pretty shit now since some recent update. you would just need to be a bit higher than the tall trees to find the quetzals imo.

[normal bridge]

wdym

[delicate anvil]

Are other cheats working? Lol

[normal bridge]

we haven't gotten anything to work

we don't know why

[delicate anvil]

Do you have a star beside your name in game chat?

[normal bridge]

how do i open on pc

[cyan sedge]

its enter

[delicate anvil]

^

[normal bridge]

no

he said he gave me admin

[cyan sedge]

something isnt right then lol

[normal bridge]

ik

[cyan sedge]

you should be able to to 'enablecheats password' in the console and it should work

[past sentinel]

Discord ran? Maybe admin is password granted where you have to command enter your admin access

[normal bridge]

i got it to work thanks!

[delicate anvil]

[normal bridge]

maybe not it says it's unlocked then when i check it says that it's not in my smithy or fabricator or anything

[delicate anvil]

Try dying.

[fair gust]

"for" is also censored.... What the heck is going on.

[cyan sedge]

i know what word that comes from, they probably have a "wildcard" filter set so that any portion of a certain word gets blocked. but im not a dev

Nah

yeah, all dinos do that. if you are taming something they'll run into wherever is danger. near a river, going swimming. near a carno, hello carno.

[mild chasm]

bruh

[slate widget]

the ark AI ain't the smartest 😂

[mild chasm]

didnt know ai could be so bad

[slate widget]

its the reason I trap everything now

[mild chasm]

damn

wonder how i could trap a horse

Damn bastards so random good luck guessing where they will go at all

[slate widget]

you can put it in a wide pen (like 4x4 foundations with door walls) and then go out of render while it calms down.

sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't tho, they might glitch out while loading them back and will need to try again

[fair wyvern]

you can slightly control the horse by looking in the direction you want it to go

[mild chasm]

slightly

[fair wyvern]

xd

[mild chasm]

Nah this mfer doin 180s while im lookin away

[slate widget]

lol, looks at danger

[mild chasm]

i will test theory

i should have uni back cuz i didnt save xd

plus another annoying thing, killed a lvl 48 tek rainbow parasaur while trying to tame it ._.

hehehe my uni is back :)

[proud grove]

whenever a mod updates, I can't play on my Ark server until it also updates that mod. Very annoying.

[hallow wraith]

Whats up with gen 1 servers being down on official?

[fair gust]

They should just make it asterisk and still let us post the whole sentence rather than memorizing a very large number of words to avoid.

[delicate anvil]

Do you not run the server yourself?

'Cuz like, mod updates should be available to apply to your server very soon after they're released, so a simple restart is all that's needed.

Depending on who you're hosting with I guess.

[fair topaz]

Guys is there a cave on like not aberration but rag or center where megalo is buffed 24/7 in the cave?

[silent matrix]

i can only afford one: simple pistol, longneck rifle, or shotgun?

i have 95 ingots

[chilly horizon]

Not at the moment

[median socket]

any update on the ps offical server issue

i was playing on 318 and it just up and crashed on me couldnt get back on it couldnt find it in the listing even by search luckily a person i played with was still on it some how so i joined through their profile but im just wondering if there is any more news

[odd stirrup]

how do I put a elevator in the base tree?

[fair topaz]

Ln for the longevity of use

Can snipe and canknock stuff out

[silent matrix]

alr thx

[silent matrix]

knock? sweet

been having trouble with that

[fair topaz]

You will need tranq darts though

[silent matrix]

ah

[fair topaz]

Not that expensive later though in my opinion

[silent matrix]

i’m level 49 rn, can’t get darts, will prioritize tho

[glad pollen]

When did ark ark poc wipe

[gloomy fiber]

I was planting my r-1 seeds, selected deposit all to fill the Tek Crop Plot with fertilizer and all 6 seeds went into the crop plot and lost them all. Only one got planted, this is stupid. i just lost 5 of my seeds to this bug, already raised a ticket, it doesn't make sense that all seeds got consumed.

[silent matrix]

is the crosshair accurate for crossbow or gun?

[fair wyvern]

Last wipe was December 30th, Next arkpoc wipe is on January 27th at 10am pst/1pm est

[minor hound]

Anyone Intrested In Joining a Solo Battle Royal (2 Maps) Server Cluster Looking For More Players To Start (psn only) Pm me

[runic ruin]

Its been happening to 1487 since the 5th. Happens multiple times daily its even cost alot of people alot of stuff me included. Completely disappears from listing. Its screwed me 3 times doing bossfight

[cold mortar]

Are there any good ark servers anymore if so what are they

Or if anyone could help me out in public that would be nice

[slow sedge]

what happened to the creature submission thread? i dont see some of the top guys anymore

[median socket]

idk ive been playing on offical theislan 318 and people are saying its fixed but idk

[fair wyvern]

Moved to the subforum Creature Submission Finalist Discussion, can see it on the creature submission page at the top

[flat onyx]

how to report people who use ini?

[median socket]

ini?

international network institute

?

[radiant harness]

Battle eye should already catch them on official servers @flat onyx

[broken garden]

Pretty much impossible to get banned for it really

[median socket]

what is it tho

sorry whole lot of things i dont know since im new to even playing ark

[fair wyvern]

Not anymore

[broken garden]

Lowers graphics and removes stuff like grass pearls bushes etc

[median socket]

how is that bad at all

[radiant harness]

It’s cheap in pvp

[median socket]

so just make it so it cant be used in pvp

[broken garden]

New methods to get ini apparently I doubt they'll patch them all

[fair wyvern]

Also fog, water, plant X, plant z, smoke, mana breath, flame from flamethrower etc.

[median socket]

i mean sounds like a useful tool for lag purposes

[broken garden]

Pretty much anything really

[median socket]

egh im on ps4 so im not concerned

[radiant harness]

On unofficial sure that if owner allows, but on official it’s cheap and unfair to those playing regularly

[median socket]

and i dont play pvp

[broken garden]

Even on console you have preview mode thats also getting removed

[median socket]

no idea what that is either

[fair wyvern]

xd, you got nothing to worry about then

[broken garden]

On console it pretty much doubles fps in some areas pretty good for big bases and shit

[slow sedge]

thank you

[median socket]

ah

[torn sage]

Where should i move i just got raided and pretty much left with a maewing and a base set (no turrets) should i go to lost island or ragnarok

[tough yarrow]

@subtle socket server advertising is available in the server ad channels under #bulletin-board-rules, make sure you give them a read.

[silent matrix]

i can’t knock anything out fsr, i’m level 53, and am using lethal weapons until i believe they are weak, but then they die because i give up and i shoot them to death

what’s the best way to tame a trike?

[agile dome]

dont keep shooting non stop, you have to wait 5-6 sec everytime you shoot a tranq, the torpor takes time to build up

[silent matrix]

ah, makes more sense now, thx

is there a way to get narcoberries fast? i’ve found myself with hundreds but i blew through them on random animals because of experimenting

[strange geyser]

so I got two glitched rex corpses that can't be harvested and they're blocking up my entire base, anything I can do about that other than waiting for them to decompose?

[agile dome]

i assumed you are at early stage? you need a tamed to harvest more fast compared to using hands. as for now try to get the trike 1st as they can use to farm berries fast

[silent matrix]

i’m mid, but did not know about this method (heard of it, but assumed it’s only for like exotic animals) thank you, i shall try this when i get on

[strange geyser]

tbf most herbivores can harvest berries pretty efficiently

[agile dome]

trike are decent at gather berries, bronto are the best if you got 1

[silent matrix]

i had many pets (they all died to a beranadon or something) so now i’ve slowed on getting pets due to them dying in fights that i push them into

[silent matrix]

there’s one constantly circling (and walking all over) my house, but killing it will be difficult

[strange geyser]

..you're not meant to kill it

[agile dome]

my advice is get all the farming dinos 1st, levels dont matter you can build up faster like this

as for more advance dinos like rexs they can wait

[silent matrix]

alr, are dodos good for berry slaving until then? i’ve exhausted my trike supply when the wars happened

[agile dome]

once you can farm decent resorces, you can tames faster and easier

[strange geyser]

dodos arent really good for anything

the only thing they're sorta useful for is pooping out tiny eggs

[agile dome]

dodos are good as food for new spawn bobs

[silent matrix]

well this will all be breeze when I level up about 9 times, because i’ll learn the tranq dart, already have the rifle too

[strange geyser]

stego is a very good early game resource gatherer if you got one close by

can be easily knocked out even with a slingshot

[silent matrix]

none nearby

[strange geyser]

can gather wood, tatch and berries very efficiently

[agile dome]

learn some simple traps too

[silent matrix]

define simple

[agile dome]

got any argy yet?

[strange geyser]

tbf tranq arrows work fine for earlier tames

[silent matrix]

a what?

[strange geyser]

argentavis

[agile dome]

i wont label you now at mid more like still early stage

you not at mid if you still dont have argy yet, its a really good dino

[silent matrix]

i don’t know what that is

[agile dome]

a giant eagle

[strange geyser]

its a flyer that can lift mid sized dinos basically

are you new to the game by chance?

[silent matrix]

time wise? no. skill? yes.

i used to play on tweaked settings and looking back on those times i regret it

[agile dome]

are you on official or SP now?

[strange geyser]

ah it's fine, just have to get used to normal settings

[steady zinc]

Hello guys can someone sell me a Tuso or a baby I need so much

[heady vector]

I still do, I still do not want to spend hours of my life breeding in single player.

[strange geyser]

^

[coarse sun]

How many hours do you have?

[silent matrix]

Will the battle Royale will be a mode in the normal game it has its own on ps?

[heady vector]

What’s better, A max level x-Rex or a max level tek Rex?

[strange geyser]

tek rex is just a reskinned normal rex iirc

apart from the resources it drops

[heady vector]

Ik but it has a higher max level.

[strange geyser]

ah, didnt know

[wispy frigate]

Depends on your definition of max level

A tamed max lvl is the same, tek or normal

[heady vector]

150

[wispy frigate]

Wild the tek is better

[heady vector]

Tamed

[heady vector]

Sry, witch is better when tamed?

[silent matrix]

Do thylas always spawn on trees:/

[noble oasis]

On the island, yes

[heady vector]

yes, be careful, and don't get pounced they don't let you go, so you die. (personal experience)

[silent matrix]

Hello

Yooo tribe of global recruiting dm for information

[brave eagle]

Carno is a goated tame

Tbh

[sharp elbow]

Does anyone know why the unofficial servers are taking so long to appear?

[wispy frigate]

When they’re tamed the max lvl is either 450 on official or the soft cap of ~1700 on unofficial, but in either case they’re the exact same as long as they have the same points into each stat

[distant parcel]

239 swamp ps smalls pull up if you got balls

[heady vector]

How exactly do you get all the tek grams on gen 1?

[forest sequoia]

Why do the official rates keep changing?

[fluid veldt]

Anyone got a fix for the ps4 bug where it can't find any sessions? Thought this was fixed already but apparently it wasn't

[turbid leaf]

It's impossible to get all Tek engrams on any one map. You'll need to transfer or live without some.

[turbid leaf]

Evo events some weekends which boost rates.

[forest sequoia]

Ah ok thanks

[heady vector]

So the only way of getting tek grams on gen 1 is beating cmc.

One more question, what’s the best early game mission for loot?

[turbid leaf]

Moeder gives tek too.

[heady vector]

Oh forgot bout him.

[turbid leaf]

Early game loot, race missions give loot with basically nothing but skill required. Once you get a bigger tame escort missions are good, like hop skip and jump.

Also side note, moeder is a girl. Not really relevant but I'm pointing it out.

[heady vector]

K lol

Hi folks, what happened to the Unofficial session list since last update? I am a Romanian Unofficial Server Owner and players from Romania report that they are not seeing my cluster in Unofficial Session list, after joining the game and looking it up, i am also unable to see it in the session list, it only show servers with 200+ ping, i can confirm this issue is happening to more players from Romania, confirmed on 30 players for now, i dont understand why i see 200+ ping servers only in my unofficial session list. Additional Notes: The server is Hosted in Romania, Romanian players have 10 ping on it, and it was shown as first servers when opening Unofficial Session list for me and the rest of Romanians

[grim forum]

anyone know why nvidia filter isnt working for me anymore?

[ebon shore]

What's nvidia filter

[grim forum]

something nvidia made where you can basically put a filter on your game and it can make it look brighter, more colourful, etc

just can make the game look alot better in general if u set it right

[molten hull]

so lets say i buy ark on steam, how do i transfer my data from epic?

[ebon shore]

They blocked unintended client side settings with the last update, could be because of that

[grim forum]

damn

[ebon shore]

Honestly have no idea I'm just guessing

[grim forum]

it wasnt even a type of INI it just made the game look so much better for me

game actually had colour

without it ark just looks so depressing

[ebon shore]

You could try messing with your overall color settings

[errant junco]

Could you use ReShade instead?

[grim forum]

not sure what reshade is

[errant junco]

Just an idea idk if it’s usable

It works like NVIDIA filters but not NVIDIA

[primal crater]

Will I be able to board a Mammoth onto a Raft?

[halcyon dirge]

if it fits

[errant junco]

I usually see it used in games like fallout for color correction and stuff

[sweet bridge]

in official classic with the transfer timers can anyone explain how it works?

[honest siren]

I have a quick question i didn't find the answer to on google. Can i pick up a wild Castoroides with a Argentavis and drop them in a water near my base to get them live there ??

[eternal merlin]

They are carry able by Argy… but there’s more to this, I found Beavers tricky, don’t tame and don’t kill too many, 1) They don’t make Beaver dams when tamed… 2) They don’t respawn much I found… also relocating them doesn’t always spawn beaver dams

[honest siren]

aah to bad thanks for the quick response though 🙂 @eternal merlin

[eternal merlin]

Keep them near rivers, anywhere with deeper water I had trouble, either they got eaten or were simply spinning around out in the water lol 😂

[silent matrix]

hello, tell me on which servers it is best for a solo player to play in order to learn PVP skills?

[lusty portal]

Anyone know a map where you can get every item?

And ideally a large portion of the dinosaurs

[loud epoch]

Did ark just update?

[eternal portal]

anyone else crashing when using tek chestpiece?

[primal crater]

the only reasonable way to deal with Beavers I found is to build a Wooden or Thatch 1x1 Trap, drop them there, empty the dams and then I free the beavers before I leave...they should get out of both thatch and wood, but I am not sure they would when I am out of render distance...

[eternal merlin]

I Tranq them… but it would be more Humane your way 👍🏼

[primal crater]

Right, that should work too...btw do you think they would spawn dams in the lagoon below the Western Approach...where the underwater cave is?

[eternal merlin]

That would be a nice spot for them if it works, have to let me know on that one coz mine are still in the same place near South coast spawn by the 2 rivers

[primal crater]

My base is on the cliff above this place...but by now, I am focusing on getting an Achatina farm rather then doing trips to beaver dams, anyway as soon as I get a new Argy, I will try, I had my first encounter with a Capro recently and we both died in the Swamp 😦

[eternal merlin]

Ah… the Pouncy Croc 🐊 but Snail farm is quite Slow, no pun intended… Beaver dams a lot quicker

[primal crater]

yeah that one...I was looking for a Baryonyx, they look similar when swimming around 😄

[primal crater]

Why do you mean slow, its just a number of snails you get and then it is efficient, no?

Also about honey, can I tame bees and make my own or should I get a Dire Bear and just loot the hives?

[eternal merlin]

Stick in Inventory, How are you hatching it? The Temperature required is very low

[eternal merlin]

Well it’s 1 every Minute, stores 100 I think, so yeah I suppose having in numbers could work 🤔 I’m happy with Dams for the moment

Don’t put loads of Venom in them, keep it in Preserving Bin, doesn’t go into Fridge, Eats very slow

The venom spoils in around 30mins, so I’d whack 1 in and keep an eye on it, hopefully you have a beauty of Rock Drake with some nice colours👍🏼

Why do some gen2 still have winter event

[gentle stump]

if its unofficial the admins havent turned it off

[pine spade]

With all this unreal engine talk. What about a PS5 upgrade?!?!??

Getting sick of crashing so much because the PS4 application is a potato on the ps5

[serene garden]

No official servers not unofficial

[gentle stump]

oh wow. those servers are way behind

get the loot before they diable it

[silent matrix]

anyone seen a r 150 reaper in ant gen 2 server

[sacred sonnet]

I second this I’ve had quite a few crashes playing on PS5 where the game just gives me a blue screen and the “Unexpected error with this application”

[silent matrix]

man it sucks that there is no sea ship mod that up to date anymore 😦

[pine spade]

bruh as a content creator who does lets plays its HIGHLY annoying starting up the stream over and over having multiple vods because of a crash

aberration was the worst

[sacred sonnet]

It’s horrible because the game resets back to the previous save point when the game crashes so I make a lot of progress only for it to reset me right back

Hopefully Ark 2 has a PS5 version

[pine spade]

i bypass that at the very least using the save world command lmao. well on single and none dedicated. i do use commands from time to time but like that one i HAVE to use

[past sentinel]

I couldn't go to abb lol, for me it was just to annoying to navigate, I settled on trading for dinos and resources that came strictly off abb 🤣

[pine spade]

arb was the worse for crashing for me.

crahses between boims
crashes every hour
crashes when i exit out that map and go to other

worst map to try and stream

[past sentinel]

Damn

I only lost a survivor to transfer crash like twice luckily.

[severe thicket]

anyone looking for new members

[sacred sonnet]

I didn’t even know that was a command so I’ll have to use that. But same I only use commands when I have to when my dinos get stuck in the ground or just fly off up to max height randomly

The wiki says they do but I can't find any

[fair wyvern]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map/Lost_Island?creature=Daeodon

[digital token]

Does anyone know if there is a mod for Ark that adds in proper fall damage for wild dinos? I've tried using tactics like leading them off the edge of cliffs or picking them up with an Argentavis or Quetzalcoatlus and dropping them from high altitude, but it seems that wild dinos just don't take fall damage (which is annoying, considering that the player and tamed/ridden dinos do take fall damage)

[robust acorn]

I looked over the snow area twice and in the desert I have not seen a single one

[fair wyvern]

unlucky, they spawn though I promise, make sure to clear the area to allow new spawns

[digital token]

Like, it would be nice if I could stand by the edge of a cliff with a Carno charging at me, then dodge out of the way at the last second and let it fall to its death below.

[digital token]

They do spawn - look near the slopes of the mountains that lead to the path heading in the general direction of Darkfern castle. That's where I found and tamed some.

[fair wyvern]

Not that I’m aware of

[digital token]

Damn. It's frustrating, since I've seen plenty of mods that remove fall damage for players and tamed dinos. It'd be nice if there was one that added fall damage for wild dinos.

[pine spade]

Is there a way I can transfer my friends dinosaurs to his save from my own save.

is it possible to allow breeding even when no players nearby/or online?

[lusty tinsel]

What’s the best way to get organic poly on ragnarok?

[fair wyvern]

Using a chainsaw/high level moschops to harvest a mantis probably

[lusty tinsel]

Where do mantises even spawn and also do moschops get good poly? And if so does leveling melee increase that stat?

[fair wyvern]

Mantis spawn in the desert in the bottom right of the map, and yes moschops get good poly if you use the harvesting levels on organic polymer and more melee does make it gather more

[lusty tinsel]

Ok thank you

[fair wyvern]

*bottom right not left xd

[pine spade]

Is there a way to speed up cloning?

270 lvl dinosaur over 30min?

[fair wyvern]

on official, no

[pine spade]

Single player / none dedicated ?

[fair wyvern]

Increase maturation speed

or if you’re in singleplayer you can just use the slomo command to speed the game up lol

[pine spade]

I tried that one it didn’t work .

[fair wyvern]

Might not affect cloning times that are already started, idk

[pine spade]

Alright good to know

[lusty tinsel]

Does the ragnarok desert work the same way as the scorched desert? Does it have sandstorms phoenixs etc

Yo what’s the easiest ark 1 map

[jade hornet]

lost island

[compact plover]

What’s the easiest dlc

/paid map

[jade hornet]

thats beyond my pay grade

[compact plover]

Bruh

[jade hornet]

dont think easy is part of the vocabulary for really any map, but li is easiest since it has many resources available in close proxiity,

also depends if you are bob or big tek

[compact plover]

Bob or big tek??

Wdym

[jade hornet]

you solo or multiplayer?

[compact plover]

Solo

For now

[jade hornet]

and you play ps so that is a game changer all around.. then for solo idk...

i play steam pvp

[compact plover]

Ok

[jade hornet]

totally different

but frr, try lost island..i dont guess you can transfer your character to another map like on the nonsolo servers...

fjordur is nice but takes some know how

[compact plover]

K I’m play ragnarok rn

Is ragnarok good?

[maiden girder]

Sorry I'm very new to ark. But I was playing on a save. I was on day 10. And I logged on and everything is gone. Dinos, house. My character is still here but no inventory. The tribe log has all my tames and stuff. But nothings here. Should I just delete the world? :(

Like it wiped

i tried that

[hoary path]

Chances are it's too late to make it look nice though. You gotta do some trickery with pillars and ceilings from the start to make it even

[winged hamlet]

without mods anyway

[old needle]

i can easily take some of it downv tho

down*

[winged hamlet]

send me a pic i can take a look. hard to tell without seeing it

What's the difference between the ark channel and the general channel?

Ark is for ark
General is for general

[zealous cloak]

General chat about umm ark? Vs ark chat about ark? Or is general off topic general l?

[fair wyvern]

General can talk about pretty much anything, as long as it’s appropriate obviously, Ark chat is just ark

[glass raptor]

Is the Genesis Season Pass recommended to get? It's currently on sale for 9ish bucks but the reviews are pretty mixed

I mean, I'd like to play it for the story at least
(please ping me)

[runic ruin]

Gen is good for people who dont like to farm lol

[glass raptor]

Hmms

I love farming, only sometimes it can be a lot xD

[limber current]

Gen2 servers also crash more often than others

Then u will love the stryder, connect it to a tek storage and u can keep farming till its full

[chilly scroll]

I am playing single player and was on low difficulty I have just upped the difficulty to try get higher level dinos, someone suggested dinowipe to reset all will dinos, are there any negatives to this

[limber current]

No

[glass raptor]

Only the wild dinos get wiped and it might only be a "negative", if there's a dino around u want to tame. But even with the wipe, it can spawn again. So, not really

[glass raptor]

I see
Never played Genesis but ty!

[glass raptor]

Is it like "worth it" for 9ish bucks or should I wait until the discount gets higher, tho?

[ancient badge]

genesis make your journey in ark easy, have all meta creature, infinity resource, and hexagon shop.

[glass raptor]

Only on the genesis maps, I guess?

Or like, in general

[compact ermine]

Any tips on taming a Managmar?

[runic ruin]

No. Well they may be able to rollback but if not they dont replace lost tames. Otherwise id be chasing em up for the 15+rex,4 gigas, 2 wyvs n all the gear id lost to dc and server going down and rolling back killing me off n costing me my entire inventory

[steady thunder]

😞

[agile dome]

You won't get the same giga back, even if you are lucky enough they responded to your ticket. They might just give you a new wild tamed giga without your imprint. My advice if you playing on officials breed more backup dinos. Losing tames to technical issues are normal in everyday ark

[mortal raft]

is it allowed to post a picture from the support with blurred GM name? just as an example

@zealous nebula @lethal turret

the last 2 times when a crash or bug destroyed a dino i wrote the support and they told me this:

"We are truly sorry to hear that you had the misfortune of losing your tames! We understand how much of a setback this can cause for your adventure, and we are more than happy to assist you in getting replacements for your tames.

There are also a few things you need to know before we proceed in getting you the reimbursement:

▪ Please keep in mind we are unable to control the stats, coloration, mutation, or gender of tames. We are also unable to restore any lost items that were on the tame.

▪ We reimburse all tames at level 225 minimum. The highest level we can restore any tame is 225.

▪ We do not raise tame nor give imprint.

▪ We cannot restore any items lost.

Please note that we cannot restore any eggs. Retries on tames are prohibited due to time constraints. Any assistance is at the GM's discretion. "

[brazen narwhal]

In general gen engrams and tames make life easier in the ark. You can always trade for that stuff or use commands. So I wouldn't say you have to get it, but the maps are fun with the missions. Gives something to do, and an ultimate objective of beating every mission. Can use hexagons you gain from missions to buy event cosmetics, loot crates, and things like flint, charcoal, paste, or pods.

[glass raptor]

Ight, ty!

[torn sage]

Is it possible to do the solo beyla boss using carchar instead of giga?

[halcyon dirge]

yes

just avoid the giant acid balls as they’ll kill your player

[silent matrix]

does the rockgolem still works to tame hawks?

[limber current]

No

[low dune]

[bold shard]

When I did beyla with my highly mutated theris, It was kinda sad- I litterally said "I feel like a bully, trying to send out a posse to slap a bee" I'll never forget that 🤣

[weary kelp]

How can I find a fresh server every server I join says the current date but ppl in chat say it’s a few days old

[silent matrix]

i wanna join servers but don’t wanna join a 3800 day save

[past sentinel]

Sort by day is usually best way cause that how many days pass in server, just don't join one that says 0 cause that means there is no day/night cycle.

[silent matrix]

oof

[tulip valley]

Evo weekend? Or no?

[silent matrix]

i got the ark dlcs but don’t wanna not play the island, what do i do?

[weary kelp]

I have and people in the server are saying it’s a few days old and admins say few days old as well Because they don’t have day cycle on

[past sentinel]

Unfortunately there not much you can do to avoid checking those, I specificed 0 cause it is physically impossible to get day 0 without coding, usually a day 2 server could be accurate or they could just have the day/night cycle really slow.

[weary kelp]

I know I just want to have a fresh server where all caves are not taken already and everyone already has tek 😂

[past sentinel]

Best solution I can give you for that is find a server that is discord ran, load in and check for message of the day for a discord invite code for that server

[past sentinel]

#bulletin-board-rules I tagged this channel cause I don't have PS role seeing as I don't have it on PS, go through recruitment post in PS channel might find one that advertises a set duration to wipe every so often

[sleek cipher]

anyone knows how can i fix the connection timeout when i join a server in sotf

[silent matrix]

i got a level 200 parasaur

[tidal locust]

What's the setting i should turn on to be able to replace a floor with another floor (breaking a floor and instantly replacing it/building over it)

[young ore]

im trying to join a modded serv but i always get the same message "timeout". someone got an idea how to fix it ?

[low juniper]

You can’t even say Bob on ark anymore lmao

The chat filter just doesn’t allow it

[coarse sun]

No way

[unique moss]

manticore is giving +15 lvls?

[tough yarrow]

Yes

[tiny shard]

What upgrades should i give my carcharo?

[fair gust]

Try using "an" like saying "I need an achatina"

[terse hawk]

Will there be another evo this weekend ?

[tough yarrow]

If we get an event, it'll be shared in #announcements or #766826918803800074 once they have an update for us. #server-rates may update before they announce anything.

[old cliff]

Why i can't se the arkpoc servers?

[terse hawk]

Thank you I just wish they were more consistent with it just same time evry weekend would be really nice

[tough yarrow]

Community Crunch is usually between 8-9pm EST

[half turret]

why arent the arkpoc servers showing on windows 10?

@tough yarrow

[strange geyser]

How many aircons do you need to hatch a fire wyvern egg?

I got 9 down yet it still says "too cold"

[tough yarrow]

Just wiped, give them time.

[tough yarrow]

12-14 probably

[half turret]

okay

[strange geyser]

Damn thats more than I expected, thx

[tough yarrow]

Depends on temp outside too, so it varies

[formal iris]

are there any ratholes on the island?

[safe pumice]

guys can anyone play with me i need friends :D

[oak pecan]

how long does it usually take ark to bring a server back up? mine wont load in the list. should I just start a new char lol?

[quick coral]

how can i play with my friend only us two?

[winged hamlet]

if pc run on a dedicated server which links their game to yours, but will tether them to you so you can't get far from each other. or you can rent a server to play on

[quick coral]

how far we talking

[winged hamlet]

you can change it in server settings but I think the general limit is within render distance

i dunno exactly I haven't done ded server for a long time

[oak pecan]

so im noticing that theres more and more gen 2 servers going down/ dissapearing

hoping i didnt lose my char and dinos 😦

[half turret]

so xbox ark poc isnt cross plat with windows 10 anymore ?

[outer lichen]

what creature won the creature vote?

[winged hamlet]

it hasn't ended yet. it just moved to the top 10

[outer lichen]

o cool

[winged hamlet]

top 10 voting hasn't started yet i believe

[outer lichen]

will winner be added to game or jsut for fun?

[winged hamlet]

the winner will be added yeah

[outer lichen]

I hope one of the bugs win and not the cheetah and lion

[compact plover]

I need help

[winged hamlet]

i want the beetle to win. i've wanted a good bug for a while

help with what?

[compact plover]

It won’t let me buy scorched on ps4

[gentle stump]

SE is part of a bunlde, not sold by itself

[compact plover]

How much is da bundle

[gentle stump]

Idk for PS

[outer lichen]

same there arent many tameable bugs in ark

[compact plover]

What’s it called

[gentle stump]

ultimate survivor bundle

[winged hamlet]

there's only like 2 bugs really worth taming. poo beetle and scorpion

it would be awesome to have giant beetles we can take to boss battles

[outer lichen]

bloodstalker can be useful too but its annoying to use web swing

[gentle stump]

Lymatria were fun before the flyer nerf

[compact plover]

It’s 70 dollars TF

[winged hamlet]

i never tamed a bloodstalker, but yeah it seems to be better if you're good at the web swing. annoying af to tame and annoying that it exists

[outer lichen]

the bison could be a fun tame too

[gentle stump]

it should have island, se, ab, and extinction on it

[outer lichen]

not many farm like animals

[gentle stump]

ill be okay with cow, if cow takes away from terror bird spawns lol

[compact plover]

WHY

[winged hamlet]

bison seemed pretty similar to rhino

[compact plover]

CANT

I BUY

ES

seperate

[winged hamlet]

not enough people were buying it, so they packaged it with other maps to try and entice people

that's my guess anyway

[compact plover]

Oh

Is there a way to buy aberration seperate

[gentle stump]

Also doesnt help that SE came out while ark was in beta

[compact plover]

Yeah

[gentle stump]

ab is part of the bundle. i dont think you can get it seperate any more

[compact plover]

Waht bundle

???????

[gentle stump]

same one i said before

[compact plover]

Oh

[gentle stump]

it should have island, se, ab, and extinction on it

[compact plover]

I wanna scream

I bought a 50 dollar gift card for nothing

@gentle stump Also isn’t ragnarok massive

[plush berry]

No evo??

[compact plover]

K

[gentle stump]

yes rag is a big map

[compact plover]

K

[winged hamlet]

rag is free though

[compact plover]

Ik

I’m playing it rn

Imma wyvern egg hunt with a level 89 pte

[winged hamlet]

rag>se anyway

SE was annoying with the storms and always being hot

[compact plover]

Yeah

Rag is rlly fun

[gentle stump]

Personally SE is my second favorite map

Ab, Se, Extinction top 3

[winged hamlet]

Center is favorite for me

[gentle stump]

Center is my least played map

[pure iron]

anyone wanna play island?

[compact plover]

Well I can’t

[gentle stump]

#735196255483068497 would be the best place to ask

[pure iron]

ok

[winged hamlet]

i loved the center. still my most played map, I just wish it had updated along the way

[warped lintel]

What do people think of Crystal Isles

That one was probably my favorite non story map

[winged hamlet]

it was ok. pretty, had nice features. but from launch it had some bad bugs (dismounting randomly in floating islands), and it needed some damn CAVES

like all but 2-3 of the artifacts were easy to get

[gentle stump]

Ci is nice but its not my kinda map. it pretty but always feels off when I play there long term

[pliant fog]

I love the CI map I would love some of the map design put into new map for ark 2 or new mod map

[muted crane]

Evo event????

[little flint]

Hopefully

[chrome tusk]

lol when you find out FuAuG is against the chat filter ingame because you type Grief Against, and instead chat says Grie* **ainst lol

[soft bane]

Every time i open the game, as soon as i get to the server select screen the game crashes. Anyone else experiencing this?

[median socket]

@soft bane i am

and when i look at the error it says to update application or update system and there is neither to do

[soft bane]

I was online 2 hours ago.. has there been an update or something thats broken the game?

[median socket]

no idea cuz everytime i click check update it says there isnt one

[soft bane]

same

[median socket]

anyone have any idea

[limpid bronze]

Yep same here bluescreen all time when try to get in offi servers

[fair wigeon]

Yup me too

[median socket]

well thats 4 of us so far

[limpid bronze]

Server having isues

[pliant fog]

Same

[quartz ridge]

Hey guys, i would like to know how to save settings from solo mode, sometimes, it's fully reset, i don't know how to stop this. Can someone help me ?

[median socket]

click save and exit at top i would guess

[quartz ridge]

?

Settings are saved

but sometimes it's reseted for no reasons

i think it's because of updates or idk

[median socket]

when on the options screen there should be 2 selectable options save and exit and apply

[median socket]

i got no clue if its updates doing it

[turbid leaf]

Settings for single player only save for me if I go into the world, does this apply?

[orchid isle]

Blue screening on official server list on playstation, tired loading single player, restarting the console, restoring licenses now I've deleted the game in reinstalling now

[fair wigeon]

It’s seems to be happening to everyone on psn

[magic ginkgo]

Same

[fair wigeon]

I was in playing it then like 20 minutes later it bluescreened and now I can’t even load the game from start menu without bluescreening

[median socket]

yeah this is getting old

[magic ginkgo]

Somethings going on with ark atm

[magic ginkgo]

Same

[steep kettle]

the ini is banneable?

[fair wyvern]

it is now, yes

[median socket]

i really hope it gets sorted out and hope one day they sort out the player bases causing lag issue

[fair wigeon]

Well there goes keeping my bases alive

[median socket]

what are you playing it on

[past sentinel]

I can tell you the issue with base lag, it the over use of dino and behemoth gates

[fair wigeon]

Psn

[orchid isle]

Same psn

@heavy cedar

[median socket]

idk could be as that every bases uses them as giant walls

[fair wigeon]

Is it happening on ps5s too? I’m on ps4

[past sentinel]

it specifically the gates because those gates go through their closing animation everytime they render in.

[median socket]

ps4 aswell

[median socket]

wow thats janky

[orchid isle]

Yea I'm in chat with others it's PS5 too

[past sentinel]

That why most discord ran unofficial servers literally make one of the top 5 rules to limit 2 behemoths max or they'll wipe your base

[median socket]

saddly i play on offical servers cuz the chance of them getting wiped is very low

[limpid bronze]

Wait bro have a lit patience could be just a short issue on the online servers

[past sentinel]

That cause there no official rules on using them, so it technically okay for them to use them as walls and cheaper resource wise

[orchid isle]

To late lol 54 mins till reinstall complete

[limpid bronze]

XD

Now seems to be working again

[median socket]

hope this issue is resolved soon i have a baby snow owl to check on and stuff

[fair wigeon]

I got back in!

[limpid bronze]

Yes working again

[median socket]

with our luck for like maybe 20 mins and it will start doing it again

[primal minnow]

@viral shore give us an evo event

[lusty tinsel]

Can anyone tell me how to make a backup save file for my single player?

[orchid isle]

[median socket]

you have a higher chance of seeing a shooting star

[primal minnow]

XD

[orchid isle]

[lime tinsel]

why am i not getting any exp boosts from runes in fjordur?

Im collecting them and all of them keep giving the number 32/200

[pseudo hazel]

I'm curious if there ever will be new achievements in Ark

[median socket]

prolly not since ark2 is being made and stuff they have prolly more or less canned anything new happening with normal ark

[silent matrix]

how many magmasur eggs does it take to tame a Basi?

[flat basin]

@lime tinsel Most likely u are collecting ones you have collected already

[fair wyvern]

[silent matrix]

[fair wyvern]

lol, fine, what’s your taming speed

[flat basin]

@silent matrix 150 is 11

[silent matrix]

[flat basin]
