[gentle stump]

or i just had a stroke lol

[earnest temple]

Its been like this thas jus u

[gentle stump]

okay so a stroke lol

So what do you mean by redownloading ark?

[earnest temple]

I mean what i say im tryna redownload it onto my pc.

Been downloading since like..12 last night?

[gentle stump]

Ouch

What are your plans for ark? Official, unofficial, or single player

[cloud linden]

Am I a wuss if I defeat fjord on gamma at 1.0 diff?

[earnest temple]

Offical or anything not single player really the urge to console command be difficult

[gentle stump]

I can respect that

Can I send you a DM

[gentle stump]

nah that perfectly fine

[earnest temple]

I dont really mind dms

[idle hinge]

My survivor got erased i guess. I cant find it on any of the maps i play on. What should i do?

[gentle stump]

#customer-support with images of your survivors implant

[idle hinge]

But how? I don't know where I am.

I cant take image of my implant if i don't know where my survivor is.

[gentle stump]

In that case youll have to back track until you can find out where it is.

[idle hinge]

I did. I went to all servers i play on but it's asking me to create new survivor

[feral badger]

I lost my fucking max level megalodon

It could have been saved if i wasn't such an idiot

[gentle stump]

ooof

[winged vortex]

Do reapers spawn in the blue zone?

[gentle stump]

down in the radiation zone RED zone

[winged vortex]

Cause I just got attacked by one and lost my crab

Then why was there one in the blue zone

[gentle stump]

subterrain reaper kings spawn when there is too many nameless that dont get killed

or someone kited a reaper queen into the blue zone

[winged vortex]

it was a Kkinh

king*

[gentle stump]

so those spawn due to nameless

[winged vortex]

o

[gentle stump]

if the nameless are out long enough they will call one to spawn

[cloud linden]

Thank

[spark sedge]

Specifically, if a single alpha nameless is alive for a long enough period he'll spawn a reaper

It shouldn't happen unless you're either intentionally letting it happen or you're afk and not dealing with a nameless invasion in a blue/redzone base

God i can't decide how i want to handle my Rockwell rematch

My project to consolidate megalosaurus stats didn't actually result in signifigantly better megalos than the crappy batch I took to kill him the first time, although they are sporting much better saddles. I don't know if i want to use the tried and true rock drake+shotgun strat or swap out a few megs for shadowmanes...

[quick cypress]

Can someone who breeds often pm me have a question or two

[ripe hound]

Are a bunch of andrewsarchus saddles loaded with ammo good for dragon?

[bleak fiber]

Guys, is there a way to turn on all the maps' engrams so I don't have to turn each of them on every time I open the engram menu?

Like, keep them turned on all the time

[slate widget]

have all maps installed. I believe that would make it default to show all, could be wrong tho.

[bleak fiber]

... now that's a ton of space 😂😂

[slate widget]

its only 430~GB

[bleak fiber]

Would like to know if there's another way

[slate widget]

not that I know of.

[bleak fiber]

I mean, I have it, but would rather not 💀

[spark sedge]

Do they shoot if they don't have a rider? And is the range good enough to hit the dragon while it's flying?

[maiden coral]

No

[ripe hound]

No idea 😄

[spark sedge]

(Legitimate question I don't know haven't touched fjordur yet lol)

If the answer to those questions is yes there's no harm in trying. If it's no, probably wouldn't recommend it

[maiden coral]

Last time I did dragon was about a year ago and we did it with deinonychus

[spark sedge]

Dragon at the end of the day doesn't demand any super unique strategies the other bosses don't

[maiden coral]

Answer is no for first question it could probably hit the dragon while it's flying though

[spark sedge]

He just puts you on a stricter timer because he does percentage damage

[maiden coral]

But they really don't have good enough DPS to kill alpha dragon

Maybe gamma, Maybe

Especially if your saddles suck because dps is based on the saddle

[spark sedge]

If they don't shoot while not being ridden then yeah, don't base your strategy around a lot of them

Maybe bring one that you're riding to put some amount of DPS on him when he's airborne, but even that's probably not worth the effort

Could be fun if you had a lot of people all riding andrews supporting a more conventional boss team, though

Back in the day when i played on an RP server a fairly popular strategy was to do exactly that but with velonasaurs. I don't know how much the velos ever actually helped, even pre-nerf, but it felt good to keep shooting the flying bosses while the rexes/theris/whatever sat on the ground picking their noses

[maiden coral]

That's what we do it with on small tribes

Velos to shoot the boss and carbos or stegos to tank the damage

[clever eagle]

Anyone wanna play btw im new dont really know anything abt the game

[spark sedge]

well that was exciting

Dove into the rock drake trench to collect some black pearls with a stryder. Between constant nameless attacks (They spawn despite the fact they're in charge range while on a stryder for whatever reason), rock drake ambushes, and having to reapply mushroom brews so my robot didn't get cancer from radiation, it was the hardest i've worked for black pearls in a long while lol

And not helping matters was that at one point my indominus rex decided fighting the rock drakes was beneath it

[wintry cedar]

guys should i get pc ark im just wondering if its dead like the main servers that wipe i played ps4 ark too so i aint no bot

[austere tartan]

I got a 150 managarmar with 28 points into stam and 25 points into attack is that good?

[regal yarrow]

Depends on the hp, but those two stats are completely terrible lol

For a tamed one that is

If it's still wild and those are the points than it is average

[celest solar]

Does anyone know how to set custom Dino colours on ps4

[wicked shadow]

Hey guys.How much milk do we need to raise a wyven? Official server

[quiet briar]

anyone got tips for taming stuff? just tried to tame a lvl 130 trike, I was level 26 or so and it took pretty long

overfed the thing with narcotics but still woke up after 90ish%

[regal yarrow]

On smalls, a daedon, or maybe on. On 1x, like 3 or 4 I think

[quiet briar]

does the berry i feed it affect the speed?

[regal yarrow]

When it starts to get low on torpor, force feed it narcoberries

[quiet briar]

oh

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, use mejoberries or crops

[quiet briar]

narcoberries work?

i was making narcotics

[regal yarrow]

To keep it down yeah

[quiet briar]

well its gonna take awhile before i tame another one cuz it killed me after i tried to knock it down again

back to lvl 10

[celest solar]

Does anyone know how to change the wild Dino spawn colours on ps4

[quiet briar]

are rockarrots considered crop plants?

[regal yarrow]

Wait, how did you lose levels

[earnest temple]

Tek rexes have recoil damage?

[quiet briar]

idk i was playing on hardcore

[regal yarrow]

Aaaaahhh. I wouldn't recommend that unless you are pro at the game lol

[regal yarrow]

They do knock back if that is what you mean

[earnest temple]

No

[celest solar]

Does anyone know how to change the wild Dino spawn colours on ps4

[earnest temple]

I was being hurt by nothing for an unknown reason while hitting one

[quiet briar]

yea it kinda sucks but that was my first death so far so i think i just need to be more careful

i dont have lots of tames either, not sure if i should even get a parasaur

[regal yarrow]

Well, first bet would be to get out of hardcore mode

[quiet briar]

i have like 2 of those fat lizard things that gather berries for me, 2 dilos and a dodo

used to have a low level trike but it died after i stupidly tried to fight what i thought was a herbivore

turns out it wasnt

is hardcore that bad?

it says double harvest and exp rates so i thought itd be better to play

[regal yarrow]

Wait, is this mobile?

[celest solar]

Does anyone know how to change the wild Dino spawn colours on ps4

[storm idol]

This is ark. You will die a lot. Unless you really want to punish yourself I'd get the heck out of hardcore mode

[deft roost]

tamed my first giga!!

[lusty tinsel]

He might be on mobile lol that has hardcore buffs

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, I figured that out when he said he still had tames

[unique topaz]

ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile:

The ARK Mobile official Discord can be found here: discord.gg/playARKmobile

ARK Mobile players will always be welcome in this discord too!

[cunning cobalt]

Are the Valentine’s Day event colors for all the creatures?

[odd heart]

All which have allowed colour regions

Some like bee have regions but the colours are blocked

[formal finch]

bruh why do all the barys i find have so many wasted points

[silent matrix]

anyone wanna play modded?

[formal finch]

do they have a glitch or smth

[delicate roost]

Bad berrys

[quiet briar]

yea

planning to play either pc or ps4 version once i finish college 2nd semester

[mild parrot]

I found a beached tuso today...i thought they were deep sea only?

[fair wyvern]

Crystal isles?

[mild parrot]

Lol ya

[fair wyvern]

yeah, that happens on that map for some reason

[mild parrot]

So strange lol

I've never played on ci before like yesterday

[limber current]

They do trample damage so they can hurt u by just walking over u

[earnest temple]

What if they weren't walking?

[limber current]

Like trapped but doing walking animation or standing still and not moving?

[dim sun]

It has been a hell of a challenge. You take for granted how often you die and to what. Hardcore is no joke.

[rancid grove]

if changing my single player world general settings would it reset?

[fair wyvern]

nah, you can change it at any time with no issues

[rancid grove]

amazing

[untold island]

anyone on small tribes wanna take me through a boss fight when they do it next? Fresh character just got back into ark

[formal finch]

if i die in lava does my stuff disappear

[limber current]

No, your body will stay in lava with your items

[formal finch]

ok goo

artifact of the massive got me scared

how do i get out of the parkour spot in the cave

the lava i mean

[limber current]

Grappling hook

[formal finch]

crap i cant do this

[quiet briar]

i find it fun, makes me feel more immersed and stuff

[formal finch]

i wanna die

[terse wigeon]

why do do none of the stack mods work

[fair wyvern]

cause they haven’t been updated in a while, just do it via GameUserSettings

[naive lake]

I want to start a new ark singeplayer world, but what should I choose? (I finished the island, lost island)

[regal yarrow]

I mean, you could do all of them at once

[silent matrix]

I would play in correct order it makes fun idk. So The Island,Scortched earth...

[naive lake]

how?

like I know whit a cluster

but you need a good pc for that right?

[regal yarrow]

Just transfer between the maps by uploading and downloading,

You don't need to host a cluster to do that on single olayer

[naive lake]

alright

ty

[vagrant walrus]

You can use tek jetpack if you have

[formal finch]

i do not

[vagrant walrus]

tek is the safest way, in your case grappling hooks are the best way

[formal finch]

i tried grapples but the onycs killed me

[vagrant walrus]

You can use sinomacrops Dino

[limber current]

Use a dino next time, preferably one that can jump

[formal finch]

i did and it fell in the lava

[vagrant walrus]

Im do this cave solo naked

[formal finch]

please dont

i already feel bad enough

[limber current]

U can use a megatherium with cryo and hooks next time, for the parts need to cross lava cryo it and use hooks get to other side safely and uncryo

[midnight hazel]

on official pve, when vaults have a 16 day decay timer, at what point will other players be able to demolish them? will they get the items inside?

[stray rock]

question can i do boss on aberration like first gamma then beta then alpha will i still get tek items from beta and ahlpha ??

[peak lark]

anyone got a server i can join with a tribe im 16

[midnight hazel]

you will get the engrams you dont have

[hard nebula]

Does anyone know how long it takes giga ms to respawn on the island

[fair wyvern]

at 16 days without the owner rendering it and yes if the vault is demod a bag will drop that they will be able to collect

[median socket]

SO im very much so irritated with wildcard atm

why cant they just add half wide walls or the ability to turn snap off like seriously why is it so hard to add all the basic blocks you got angle wedges but you dont have half wide walls or anyting else come one how are you supposed to build the way you want if you cant even supply that stuff to do so no our imagination and everything gets hindered

[pliant locust]

yea building in ark is pretty bad, but its more than unlikely they will ever change it or make additions to it at this point sadly :/

for steam at least there are some mods which expand it a little, but no ways for console 😦

[median socket]

it just hurts my head i love the game alot but its killing my creativity and causing me some mental strain

[pliant locust]

yes, one of the reason why you will see so many players just build a giant ugly cube on official server lmao

[median socket]

ive made a cube with little cubes on the side starting to almost look like a rocket lol

[pliant locust]

theres always some ways and like snapping things weirdly or building shards and stuff out of triangles, but you cna only do so much with official settings 😛

[median socket]

sadly

[final lake]

if I got clones that finish and push my tame limit over the cap do I lose the clones?

[silent matrix]

Ahhh help guys first time raising a baby

i put a bunch of raw meat on my maewing

picked up the baby set it to nursingbut the food meter on snow owl is slowing falling

why??? 😮

[fair wyvern]

it’s not hungry yet, as long as the food isn’t at 0 you shouldn’t worry

[silent matrix]

really? the food meter is really low atm tho

867/8600

[storm idol]

All the stats start off way lower than they will be when it reaches adult, they gradually increase up to that as it matures

[silent matrix]

Ahh ok, and when will it ask for imprinting?

its on 0.6% maturation now, but not sure if i should be waiting here ready for when it asks

[storm idol]

There will be a visible timer telling you when it will need imprinting

[silent matrix]

hmm dont see one

[storm idol]

Fyi you don't have to imprint, it just improves it's stats

[silent matrix]

ya i wanna get 100% tho

[storm idol]

If you look at it is should say 'wants imprinting in ....'

[jade chasm]

U will see "requires attention in" and the time i think

[silent matrix]

Ahhhh i see "wants care in"

thanks

[storm idol]

Yeah that's it

[silent matrix]

damn 4 hours? and its only 1% maturation 😮 how long is this process?

looks like it will take days

[storm idol]

Dododex says 2 days 9.5 hours for an owl

[silent matrix]

oh jeeez

oh i guess thats reduced 3x cos of valentines event?

[storm idol]

But at 10% it will start eating from feeding troughs

Yes it will be 1/3 of that

[silent matrix]

so 19 hours total

[silent matrix]

Maewing acts as feeding trough also right?

[storm idol]

For babies, not sure about juveniles and up

[fair wyvern]

yeah, as long as it isn’t full grown the maewing can feed it

[storm idol]

Ah ok, good

[silent matrix]

ahh nice

[harsh rapids]

Maewing can feed any dino doesnt matter if its a baby adolescent and the saddle can transport even adolescent dinos.

[fair wyvern]

They don’t feed adults

[green belfry]

An event-coloured reaper king baby just poofed into thin air for me and I don’t think I’ve ever been this salty.

No death message, nothing. He just vanished.

[terse plinth]

Do official server's 3x rates effect unofficial servers...?

[wooden mulch]

No

[terse plinth]

Really feels like I'm getting too much mats lol

[glossy sierra]

my spyglass wont zoom in after i increase my Fov

it stucks on 100 fov

[silent matrix]

Im new to making crops. Is it possibel to make the crop plot indoors in my house?

or does it have to be outside for sunlight

[unkempt kernel]

I just deleted my save cus I lost everything 😐

[hidden kayak]

It just needs water and fertilizer. You can grow them in caves

[mint stump]

Fastest way to get metal?

[silent matrix]

nice thx

so if the water tap is above my crop field

thats enough to make sure its getting enough water?

[unique moss]

why is on every wiki for ark about deep sea crates just red color which does not contain all drop, but also like on crystal isles its spawning deep sea crates with blue and yellow color which contain other stuff then stuff inside red? i cant find any loot table for this blue and yellow deep sea crate colors, any help?

[regal yarrow]

Typically they match cave loot crates

[unique moss]

so there is a loot table for this crates?

[regal yarrow]

Depends on the spot

The common ci ocean cave is the same as island ocean caves, I want to say the ice ones share the ice cave l, but I can't confirm that

[unique moss]

oh, understand.

[mint stump]

Fastest way to get metal fast and quickly☹️

[odd heart]

Anky+Krab or Magmasaur

[regal yarrow]

Stryder in ab by far

[mint stump]

I’m on the island

[odd heart]

Anky+Argy

[mint stump]

My biggest tame is a moschops

What is a stryder

[uncut iris]

End game dino from Gen2

[mint stump]

Is that the big dino that looks liek a capubara

Oh

I’m first game

Whats better than using a pickaxe?!

[uncut iris]

I reckon farm small round rocks on the beaches for metal until you got mats to gear up for taming with long neck/tranq darts

pickaxe can be as good as dinos if you got high enough melee 😛

bad advice though, gear up man... 90% of ark is prep for what you want to do

[mint stump]

How do I get chitin?

I wanna get arm or

[royal eagle]

Hey so I'm trying to host non ded server just to mess around, I can't get the valentines event enabled. Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

[rustic kraken]

when breeding only 1 stat from male and 1 from female gets carried over to the baby right?

[pliant locust]

no its random (semi random, slight favor for the higher stat on either parent to be chosen).
The baby stats will consist of only the parents stats, it doesnt have like "own" stats, unless a mutation occurs, then that specific stat will be higher

[rustic kraken]

So there is no percentage on its mixture of stats. Its not always 50% from male and 50% from female. We can get 9 out of 10 stats from a single parent

[pliant locust]

yes, in theory it could be like that!
especially when you have all the higher stats on one parent, you often see them all being chosen.
Its a pain sometimes when you have rather mixed stats across multiple parents and try to combine them in a certain way lol (to create a desired clean breeder)

[dire sundial]

is it possible to recover a ark character

[dusky nebula]

Do you guys think ark 2 will kill ark 1?

[twilit mulch]

yes

[severe crag]

No.

Wildcard will kill ark 1, they already said their going to sunset it.

Anywho, anyone know why servers will randomly start saving at 6-7 minutes in, not 15 minutes?

[twilit mulch]

does anyone wanna tribe ip

[terse wigeon]

how can i make my friend admin on a non dedi server

[green belfry]

Question, is it possible to place a dedi storage onto a Stryder and have it linked to it?

[steep nymph]

Does anyone here can tell me 24h on the ark = how many hours irl?

[fair wyvern]

1 hour

[silent matrix]

😭

[violet rivet]

for me with all dlcs it is 465gb

[eternal merlin]

No way… sometimes it feels like forever and some on top🤷‍♂️

[fair wyvern]

xd

[serene oracle]

does any1 have a clue, why my 2 accounts (on the same pc) can play on Fjordur, but my 2. account wants/needs to download the dlc again, before i can use it in singleplayer?! both can play on it on official & my main account can do singleplayer, but not my 2. account.... whats going on? no other map had that issue?!

[glacial ermine]

rip thick44 of the neebsgaming crew

[rustic kraken]

anyone know what Tp% means in ark smart breeding app?

[vernal cipher]

How to heal your dinos fast on maps without any healing dinos? I expected healing brew to work

[oak steeple]

How get black tyrannosaurus rex

[vernal cipher]

you get lots of tranq darts and arrows, preferrably higher quality so its more efficient and faster, then you either build a 2x2x2 trap out of door frames with 4 ramps and trap rex inside it or search up for a more cost efficient one

[bright veldt]

any idea why i cant use the items in my hotbar? it highlights them in blue it just doesnt do anything with them. i can press e on them in my inventory and it works, its just annoying that i have to open my inv every time

[limber current]

For carnivores, force feed raw meat
Herbivores sweet veggie cakes
And no med brew dont work on tames

[deft roost]

can someone join me in a vc to explain honey to me please? (30 seconds)

[glacial ermine]

hi

[floral garden]

Hello

[deft roost]

how can i get giant bee honey on the island? i got a dire bear but there aren’t any beehives close enough for him to reach

[floral garden]

Redwood trees mostly, and the sides of cliffs, I've never seen any on the ground. I use ghillie to collect, having a bear to jump on, just in case is handy

I put up cliff platforms and tree platforms and build a ramp down, or up, or use a flyer if I can

[glacial ermine]

who knows neebsgaming and his friends from youtube

[dusk lotus]

You can put a cliff plat down under a tree and use a flyer to get up there and uncryo a bear for safety just make sure to put your fly some where safe

[vernal cipher]

thtas actually pretty funny

iirc i just found them below the cliffs

[silent matrix]

if ur playing on official servers, how do you know what stats a wild dino has and whether its worth taming?

Online im seeing people use mods, but only server admin can do that

[deft roost]

thank you. what do you mean by using ghillie to collect? does it allow you to?

[deft roost]

thank you!

[vernal cipher]

i think you just tame a high level one and hope his stats are distributed nicely

[silent matrix]

Why WC does not make different server console parameter...we would rather start Love Evolved 3 as no chibis! SO SAD STORY!!

[floral garden]

Bees are less likely to aggro of you're wearing ghillie, they still do sometimes though

[silent matrix]

ohh so at the point of taming is where the stats are distributed?

not before

[vernal cipher]

no it does have wild stats

wild stats is what people are checking

[floral garden]

I'm still fairly new myself, there still lots I don't know

[vernal cipher]

after you tame depending on taming efficiency it will get x amount of levels upon tame completion

[silent matrix]

Ahhh i see what u mean

so yeah without mods just wait and see on official

[vernal cipher]

pretty much

[floral garden]

I been shooting at hives hoping to find a queen, haven't had much luck

[earnest temple]

Hows the game on steam deck.

[bright berry]

I think there’s a queen in every hive

[dire canopy]

Queen Bees scary, just use bear

[limber ocean]

Has anyone else having trouble with Gen1 ice fishing mission ?

[mild parrot]

How do you get the bear up there..

[lofty rover]

building a ramp maybe

[rocky sandal]

are there any caves near the first spawn location on lost island in ark?

i need to find cave for obsidian lol pls help

[fair wyvern]

firstly, that’s not lost island, that’s the island, secondly https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Resource_Map/The_Island

[eternal elk]

Any mod suggestion for single player that makes the game much more difficult? Preferably no weird looking modded dinosaurs

I looked at the hunted and primal fear but any suggestions?

[tough yarrow]

Kraken's Better Dinos and Additional Aberrant Dinos,
Ark Additions, there are quite a bit.

[maiden coral]

I'm pretty sure he said lost island though?

[fair wyvern]

They posted a pic in fanart of their map and it was island…

[maiden coral]

Ahh ok

[silent matrix]

Does anybody want to play

Ps

[rocky sandal]

@fair wyvern

[fair wyvern]

@rocky sandal

[rocky sandal]

if cooked metal is left in the forge

will it turn into charcoal

[fair wyvern]

no

[rocky sandal]

ok so if i leave my forge on it wont burn?

[fair wyvern]

correct

[silent matrix]

Hello

[maiden coral]

Only wood turns into charcoal

[eternal elk]

Thanks will look into those

[rocky sandal]

@fair wyvern check dm

[spark sedge]

Hop in the water and kill one yourself and for whatever reason that seems to make it more likely they spawn

Other than that the only real advice to give is just to get really good at fishing

[spark sedge]

Okay. Normally i bring a rock drake into the Rockwell boss fight. Today i'm bringing in some shadowmanes.

I unno if this is going to be the best idea but screw it what's life without a little risk

You can bring a tek suit into the Rockwell arena, right?

[earnest temple]

Only one way to find out

[fluid pivot]

Cant wait to experience survival of the fittest properly sense i wasnt able to back then

[spark sedge]

Tek suits can go to the rockwell fight although i didn't wind up using it lol

I like his voice lines except that the audio is all glitchy in the fight now. Every time I landed a shot on a tentacle it reset the music

[merry compass]

why cant i craft electronics when i have all of the materials in the fabricator?

[spark sedge]

Also at some point i used a shadowmane pounce trying to foght off reapers that were mauling my army and that glitched me inside of rockwell

And in fixing that I caised him to T-pose menacingly at me for the rest of the fight. Which made him several thousand times as scary

[spark sedge]

Check all the basics- is the fabricator on, does it have fuel, do you know the engram, and so on and so on

[merry compass]

oh u need fuel? this is my first time craftiong with it

[spark sedge]

Gasoline or connected to a generator

[merry compass]

dayum

[spark sedge]

It's not a Smithy it needs to be turned on to operate

[merry compass]

how u get gasoline

[spark sedge]

Put oil and hide in a forge and wait for them to cook

[merry compass]

wait what?

[spark sedge]

Or just straight up buy it if you're on Genesis lol

[merry compass]

nah im on the island

[spark sedge]

Then yeah

You got Gasoline by refining oil in a forge with hide

As you're moving up through the Industrial Age you're going to need a lot of gasoline so just make it a habit to always have some cooking

To power your electronics and later on your generator

[maiden coral]

I usually use tek suit, it's super easy that way and you don't have to bring cactus broth

[spark sedge]

I just usually run around on an animal and outrun the hordes

More fun that way

[bleak fiber]

Do Megalodons drop prime fish meat?

I was told I could get it with a sickle, but already harvested two Megalodons and got no Prime

I really need it for a Baryonyx

[regal yarrow]

If you are doing it with a sickle, salmon are actually pretty decent

[bleak fiber]

I know I can get them from salmons, but I was asking about Megalodons...

I'm pretty sure I should be able to get more from a Megalodon than from a Salmon

[regal yarrow]

I think it is possible, but it's not worth it

Leeds and salmon are a much better way to get it

[bleak fiber]

Dang, that sucks

What about Alpha Megalodons? Sickle drop lots of prime fish?

[cunning cobalt]

If my mom dino, for example, has 100 hp and 30 attack, and the dad dino has 80 hp but 50 attack, can the baby come out has 100 hp and 50 attack?

[regal yarrow]

I think?

[regal yarrow]

Yes

[cunning cobalt]

Oof, I've made about 10 babies and none of them got the melee stat

[cunning cobalt]

Can you increase the melee stat with imprinting or just HP?

[earnest temple]

Is their a gasoline engram??

[orchid isle]

Yes

[earnest temple]

I cant really find it what level is it at

[knotty furnace]

are electrical binoculars still a thing

[knotty furnace]

he's lying to you...

[earnest temple]

Well fudge

[knotty furnace]

there isn't

atleast not vanilla

[earnest temple]

Then how would one obtain gasoline?

[knotty furnace]

to make gasoline though, get 6 oil and i think 5 hide, put it into a refining forge or an industrial forge and start it up

[dense sentinel]

Anyone on small tribes ps4/ps5 selling stego bp?

[earnest temple]

So thats what i can do with the extra hide neat

[knotty furnace]

in somewhere around 30 seconds you'll get 5 gasoline

[earnest temple]

Dooe

[lusty tinsel]

You’ll never have enough hide lol just store it I gurrentee you’ll have less then enough for some future saddle blueprint

[earnest temple]

Im temped on getting a 512gb sd card for my steam deck for ark but idk..m

[lusty tinsel]

If you can reasonable afford it and it fits well with your computer go for it

[quiet briar]

any early game base locations for the island?

[earnest temple]

I said steam deck not computer

[spark sedge]

Sharks do drop prime fish with a sickle or whatever, but your best source is probably going to be leeds or squids. Or you can fish

[earnest temple]

The odds of me getting anything good is slim

Except this 120 rex i just found-

Maybe.

[earnest temple]

Update on the 120..i knocked it

Im.surprised

[torn sage]

Until when is 3x?

[agile dome]

https://www.dododex.com/taming/sarco you can check here

[earnest temple]

Well fudge a 140 female...yeah i cant knock that

[earnest temple]

Aye

Tamed that 120 male now

Oh-

That took 3 hours.

[bleak fiber]

Anyone has an idea on why my storage boxes are not spapping to each other with structures + mod installed?

It was working perfectly fine a while ago

I already checked with G and it is enabled

It sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't

[cunning cobalt]

Would 25k HP 650-700% melee megatheriums along with a daedon and yutyranus be good enough for alpha broodmother?

[shell blade]

so I'm confused on how to do maturation and imprinting atm
so currently I'm trying to find the "best" cuddle interval while also keeping a giga (longest maturation time) to reasonable lengths
I already tried lowering the maturation speed so that gigas only needed 1 hour total, but the problem then arose with dodos being unable to be imprinted. Why dodos? they have the fastest maturation. With the rates I had, a dodo grew up in under 20 minutes
I'd like a 1 hour cuddle interval, but I'm not sure it's possible

[shell blade]

id try a bit more health

also depends on how good their saddles are

primi saddles? definitely more
over 100 def saddles? probably fine

[cunning cobalt]

thank you

[shell blade]

alpha brood is stupidly brutal

best be prepared

[distant cradle]

I did alpha brood on fjordur few days ago, 17 megatheriums with 15k hp and 700-800% melee and 112 armor saddles
we almost died cuz the megatheriums didn't get the insect buff straight away, so make sure to first send them at the small spiders before fighting the big boy, then it should be ez as long as you bring yuty and daeodon with a lot of meat

[shell blade]

the buff is what makes megatheriums good, I found that they die in two waves, the first one is the megatheriums that don't get the buff, the second wave are those that got the buff

on Island Beta I lost 9 since they didn't get the buff

since then ive been trying to breed some better megatheriums

[regal yarrow]

I personally wouldn't bring a daedon intonthe fight. Swap it out with another megatherium

[cunning cobalt]

thank youguys

[astral socket]

how good are therizinosaurs?

[quiet briar]

would 8 dilophosaurs protect from most of angry wild life in the beaches

or do i need more

i spotted like giant crocodiles and shit

[runic ruin]

No if anything the dilos will cause stuff to agro onto u. If ya going to have a small dino following for cover use raptors they faster and u can ride them

[runic ruin]

Lethal lol

[quiet briar]

where do i find raptors

[astral socket]

do you mean lethal by like really good

[runic ruin]

Wat server ya on?

[astral socket]

like is it like rex tier

[quiet briar]

i think i got attacked by one and my dilos swarmed it

[quiet briar]

im playing The Island on singleplayer

[jagged cargo]

hey could anyone help me?

[runic ruin]

Yes. When imprinted n mutated with good stats n saddle they are just as powerful as rexs if not better when doing things like dragon boss as they take less damage than carnivores

[astral socket]

oh nice

[jagged cargo]

so when Im trying to craft stuff, it doesnt show me what I need for it. how do I fix that?

[quiet briar]

are therizinosaurs those birdlike mfers that look like enlarged dodos on roids

[runic ruin]

Southzone is good place for raptors. South zone 2. Start where the stone island is and theres a river that runs up to the swamp. Follow that river to where it splits in like a y if that makes sense. Will be raptors along there but be warned also alphas aswel as theris and other pain in the ass predators

[runic ruin]

Yh like divorced bigbird with roided up wolverine claws they are pretty quick on the move too

[quiet briar]

ah fuck, maybe I'll try to catch one once i get better stuff, thanks tho

[runic ruin]

They not hard to catch. Jus make a lil trap n lure em in. Then tame em as ya do.

They are quick tho so be ready to haul ass to ya trap when they agro lol

[quiet briar]

oh alr, thanks

how many raptors would be good tho

like 4?

[runic ruin]

Depends what ya up against.

What lvl are u atm?

[quiet briar]

10

[limber current]

Herbivores only take reduced damage from the fireball, the fire breath still does full damage to them

[quiet briar]

what does a red aura mean around a dino

also any tips on early game must haves? like if i need to unlock certain engrams early on

[runic ruin]

Damage reduction is a damage reduction. Still something rexs dont have which is a shame as rexs are reliable boss tames

[runic ruin]

If its something like a trike it just means that something hostile n often bigger is nearby. If its something like a raptor,carno,rex RUN

[limber current]

Only the fire breath matters for dragon fight, and theri still take same amount of % damage from it

[runic ruin]

N those with sense stay away from fire breath so thats not an issue

If ya want to go back n fourth over dumbshit message me n ill get back to you after work. I dont have all afternoon to debate a simple tip was pointing out. I dont personally care as i dont use them was simply answering a question😂🤣

[limber current]

So how are u going to dodge fire breath with 19 unridden theris fighting it in melee range? By the time they respond to whistles the dragon hits them with it alr

[runic ruin]

Again i dont use theris 😂 n when i do boss we are all mounted. What happens to unmounted tames is irrelivant they are there to assist aslong as the player n tame they on survives who gives a shit about damage to unmounted tames?

[limber current]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dragon

[runic ruin]

Aslong as the 10 mounted or however many mounted tames ya have can avoid it fuck the unmounted lmao

[limber current]

First paragraph under recommended tames says

[runic ruin]

U tell me u have time to look it up

Like i said i use rex n never had any issues so far so debating with me is pointless

[limber current]

An army of Therizinosaurus are a player's best chance at beating the Dragon since they have stats to rival the Rex's and because they are herbivores they take less damage from the Dragons attacks (does NOT reduce damage from Fire Breath).

[runic ruin]

So herbivores take less damage which was original point. You wanted to go all in on the firebreath lmao clearly someone got fuck all better to do today than waffle on online 😂 sorry dude but some of us have work. Fact is i said they can take less damage n thats true. Ok didnt specify the breath but again i dont use theris or care about unmounted tames so didnt feel the need to go into it lmao so seeing as i got work n u got all day u go back to the lad that asked n give him all the answers

[limber current]

Because only the fire breath matters, everything else does little damage to begin with
And i dont have all day, it is alr nighttime here

[runic ruin]

It only matters to players n mounted tames the rest is irrelevant from start to finish. No player who aims to survive sits there gettin hit by fire breath its not that hard to avoid even on a rex. Anyways im off back to work so go find the guy who asked n u can bore him all day with stuff people probably already told him and go into the specifics of it all. Id like to but i got things to do atm but anytime ya wish to argue or debate with me lol reach out im game 🙂

N make sure u explain the whole sweetcake healing bit to him too

[limber current]

Why are u still here? Dont u have other things to do?

I will explain it to him if he ask

[weary willow]

anmyone else getting disconncted from official servers??

[mossy cosmos]

Yes

[weary willow]

Yeahh

All servers went down suddenly

[weak vortex]

Does anyone know if voidwyrm egg is like wyvern or drake egg? Doesnt decrease hp out in the open

[jagged palm]

46 went down around 11pm. still not up. I've been up all night...afraid all the babies will be dead.

[runic ruin]

How do u get on the list for u to wait til asked? I didnt ask ya anything yet there ya was.

[harsh dock]

Before they release Ark 2 can u guys please fix proximity chat on PS4?

Please

[silent matrix]

Do you need the exact recipe to cook something?

For some reason when I cook it works when i use exact quantities

but if i put too much quantity it doesnt work

[weary willow]

lol..

[limber current]

What list? Because u were not fully clear on the damage reduction, he could wrongly assumed it takes reduced damage from fire breath too

[runic ruin]

So no list? Lol. Had he asked id of explained that. Theres a difference between not knowing and not saying. Sometimes due to fact im at work n shouldn't be on my phone i dont always have time to go into detail but i usually get back to them when i can. Didnt need to today cos you stepped in. You could of just answered him to begin with. You didnt. So if u didnt like my answer thats not my problem but i get where ya coming from its all good.

[lusty tinsel]

You will eventually just save it for later you’ll need it I assure you

[runic ruin]

Ends on the 17th unless they extend it.

[indigo meteor]

where can i find a desmodus saddle blueprint? in what drops can they be ?

[distant cradle]

I think all but they’re pretty rare

I found a load of carcha and giga saddles and only 2 desmodus BP

[severe rover]

best way to get thatch?

[fair wyvern]

mining drill/bronto/stego

[severe rover]

alr thx

[vernal cipher]

stego is rly good for it yeah

[distant cradle]

chainsaw works really well

[heady sable]

Hey can someone play on a non-dedicated server with me. ( I have no friends)

[quasi glade]

I could!

[midnight badger]

Do yall know when the new Dino will be out on ark???

[fair wyvern]

no

[sudden mulch]

dont know i think its not out

[midnight badger]

Ok just wondering

[silent matrix]

any1 have stoney islands link

[fair wyvern]

what is a stoney islands

[odd ridge]

I see this is for a command line argument but is there a way to put it in the gus or game.ini instead?

MinimumTimeBetweenInventoryRetrieval=<TimeInSeconds>

[cedar turtle]

anybody want to play pvp?

[silent matrix]

my imprint is telling me to handfeed tintoberry

i put the tintoberry in their inventory, spam E but its not worked

im now just putting it in the inventory without force feeding it, its not completing

any ideas?

[fair wyvern]

Put the tintoberry in the last slot of your hotbar

[silent matrix]

oh wtf...

Ok, will try that but i used a cryo pod to reset the imprint and now its asleep :<

did i lose the imprint opportunity?

[fair wyvern]

what dino is it?

[silent matrix]

rex

[fair wyvern]

yeah, that’s a rip

[silent matrix]

How was i meant to know u put it in the last slot of hotbar

thats so dumb lmfao

if i cryo again and throw out could it end the sleep?

[fair wyvern]

no

just gonna have to wait

[silent matrix]

So what you say rip? I dont get it

is there only one opportunity to imprint?

and cryosickness removes imprinting opportunity

[violet rivet]

bro same-

[bright veldt]

does anyone know the settings to guarantee an 100% imprint on any dino on the first imprint thing

[fair wyvern]

Depending on the Rex’s level it’ll be knocked out for a while, probably over an hour and depending on your breeding settings that might delay the imprinting too much to be able to get 100% imprint bonus

[silent matrix]

im on official server, rex level is 217

[fair wyvern]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=1000 in game.ini

[bright veldt]

game.ini is in config folder right

[fair wyvern]

yes

[bright veldt]

and if i play on a non dedicated with a friend does he also have to put that in game.ini

[fair wyvern]

nah, just the host

[bright veldt]

alr

thanks

wait is it defaultgame.ini cuz theres no game.ini there

[tough yarrow]

No, shootergame>saved>config>windowsnoeditor

[bright veldt]

oh thanks, found it

is it already in there and i cant find it or do i have to paste it

[tough yarrow]

If you've previously started a game it might be there, if not you'll need to paste it

[bright veldt]

alr

[weary osprey]

Having a hard time figuring out the ins and out of dino breeding, anyone care to help?

[astral escarp]

There's a LOT to understand about breeding. Your best bet is to watch a video but if you have specific questions I will try to answer.

[weary osprey]

I've watched quite a few and get the basic ideas but I am unsure what the real difference is between breeding for mutations in a particular stat or group of stats and simply levelling a dino and placing the stats where you want them is

I sent a DM if that is preffered

[astral escarp]

A dino can be mutated so that it reaches the max level of 450/500. A dino gains 88 tamed level so say you tamed or bred a lv 20 it will stop at lv 108.

[weary osprey]

Ok what stops you from levelling to 88 with "perfect stats" and then breeding off that alpha to the cap of 450or 500?

well 89 I guess it would be

[astral escarp]

Tamed levels don't pass on. Only mutations do

The base stats are what gets passed on. Mutations become part of the base stats

[weary osprey]

So if I levelled a male rex to 88 and bred it with a level 1 unmutated female and got a baby with a melee mutation, even if it go the father's stats it would be an 88 base stat with a +2 melee mutation?

[astral escarp]

No it would be a lv 3 with 2 levels in melee.

Tamed levels don't pass on.

[weary osprey]

Oh, you said levels, I thought you meant stats

So the mating would consider both of them level 1 rexs

[astral escarp]

Yes

[weary osprey]

Such an odd system

So you have to do the totality of your breeding first and then potentially level the finish product higher if it is under cap. ie stop breeding at 150 and then level normally from there

[astral escarp]

Most people mutate until around level 370 or 412 for 450 or 500 max lv

[weary osprey]

Sure, I meant, if someone just couldn't bother to put in more time taming and ended early, all the mutations would need to be done first and then normal levelling could be applied to that dino

[astral escarp]

Yes

[weary osprey]

Thanks, the 20 mutations limit seemed to be more restrictive than it really is, if you can mutate all the way to 370ish

You must have to keep rotating unmutated or under 20 mutated females to keep pushing?

[astral escarp]

No, idk why people say mutations stop when you get 20/20 on both parents. I have gigas at 370 with "millions" of mutations (glitch I'm sure) and they still get random mutations pretty often when I breed them.

[weary osprey]

Even video i've seen so far says that when you reach 20 mutations on each side you won't be able to get more

seems odd to have a counter there if it doesn't actually show a cap

[astral escarp]

It's a lie or misunderstanding. I don't understand why there's a "cap" either.

[weary osprey]

Ok, so not something to be concerned about then

[silent matrix]

Ark is 😄

[astral escarp]

All I can really say is the thyla line I'm breeding has 88/20 mutations on the paternal.

[weary osprey]

Seem to be some counter intuitive things going on, hard to differentiate between fact or fiction sometimes

Hmmm ok well that pretty much shows the lack of cap

Last question, I've seen repeatedly breeding videos where they accept any mutation and mix it into the breeding line, this seems wasteful to me, as you only get some many levels, ie points to spend. Why would you hold out for mutations that benefit your "build" beyond that extra time involved in getting exactly what you want?

Why wouldn't you hold out .......

[astral escarp]

They might keep them for the colors that comes with the mutations but otherwise you don't want to.

[weary osprey]

That's what I thought, well that should do it for now. The main question was the mutated vs levelled debate

[astral escarp]

Yeah, as I said only base stats matter so I don't level my breeders so I can always see what stats I'm working with.

[south berry]

Looking for tribe! i am an israeli person (my english is bad you can clearly see that) im looking for people to play with (if you dont mind my bad english) dm me!

[weary osprey]

Right, I did see that no one was levelling the breeders as they sat there even with levels waiting to be applied

[weary osprey]

I was wondering why they wouldn't just apply them for the level benefit

Well thanks again

[uneven bone]

is there a reason why dedicated server takes literally forever to launch ?

[astral escarp]

I posted a pic in #fanart-and-screenshots a showing a perfect boss rex egg with only melee and health mutations

[uneven bone]

500 MB/s SATA SSD: 447 seconds
3500 MB/s SSD: 290 - 350 seconds

[weary osprey]

I just saw that, nice

[weary osprey]

I lied, one more question

When the baby's stats are being calculated, each individual stat can be taken from mother or father? Baby might get father's melee and mother's health for example?

[astral escarp]

Yes, there's a 60% chance to get the higher Stat from what I understand.

[weary osprey]

so letting any other mutation in, food for example could make it much harder to get what you ideally want as that mutation could keep popping up on an otherwise perfect baby

[astral escarp]

Yes

Breeding out food movement speed and oxygen are the hardest part imo lol but when you start you line you should tame lv 5s and look for one's with only melee/health levels

[weary osprey]

Why 5s specifically?

Lowest spawn?

[astral escarp]

So you have an easier time getting 0 levels in food, oxygen, movement speed.

On official servers 5 is lowest level yes

[weary osprey]

Very good, thanks again

[limber plume]

Hi

[bright veldt]

hi so my friend died and his items fell through the map how do we get them back

[limber current]

Have access to cheats?

[bright veldt]

yes

[limber current]

Use ghost and fly command

[bright veldt]

alr

worked, how do i stop them now

[limber current]

Walk command

[bright veldt]

ok

thankks

[limber current]

Np

[violet rivet]

someone who speak portuguese wanna play, i have no friends

[earnest temple]

The 1 time i have bullets give me 120s but the second i use em they give me 140s and 145s

[craggy terrace]

anyone want to start a private server

[minor flint]

Sa

[thick island]

Yo does anyone know where and with what I can get longrass seed in ark ragnarok?

[slate widget]

harvest bushes, if you get all types of berries its just RNG till you get one.

[thick island]

aight

is it really rare? Well I've already been gatering berries for an hour but its aight

[sick oasis]

@thick island if you need to tame a Iguanadon and put the berrys or wild crops in its inventory and turn everything into seeds like that fjouder has all the crops in the wild

[thick island]

Where do I get the longrasses then?

[sick oasis]

I believe they have it on fjouder

[thick island]

Where is it on the map?

[sick oasis]

Im not sure but ive heard all crops are on that map

[thick island]

Oh its another map?

[sick oasis]

Yes

[thick island]

Sorry but I am quite new to ark but how can I get to that map and take the longrass back with me?

[sick oasis]

Go to an obelisk its the big green red or blue thing in the sky and transfer to fjouder

[thick island]

but I need to do a lot of bosses then?

[earnest temple]

Ooo a 120 tek rex

[maiden coral]

No

[thick island]

there are a lot of artifacts needed tho

[maiden coral]

You don't need to do the boss to transfer to another map

[thick island]

huh

how do I do it then?

[earnest temple]

At the obelisk

[thick island]

yeah but I need artifacts don't i n,eed to go to bosses for that?

[maiden coral]

Maybe you should watch a video on it

[thick island]

yeah

[earnest temple]

Nope Obelisks both allow to fight bosses and transfer

[floral garden]

You could try to tame something that is good at gathering berries, moschops, trikes are the best, I think, but I think all herbivore are better then the human character, will get seeds faster

I love my trike

[maiden coral]

I would use a stryder to get berry's or a bronto If you're new

[thick island]

What is the best dino for crystals?

[maiden coral]

I mean stryder is best for everything but you could use an anky

[thick island]

aight

[thick island]

Is a stryder always tek?

[maiden coral]

?

[thick island]

nvmd I searched for stryder and I only fgound tek

wait is it in ark ragnarok?

[maiden coral]

No

If you're on rag you could tame a mantis or anky

[thick island]

So on ragnarok its anky

[maiden coral]

Yeah an anky and an argy isn't too bad for farming

[thick island]

Are wyverns aight too?

[maiden coral]

Yeah

[thick island]

Where does most crystal spawn on rag?

[fallen wigeon]

Are you able to get chibis this valentines evolved event or is it just colors?

[distant cradle]

just colors and boosted rates as far as i know

[ashen stratus]

Hello

[neon idol]

hi

[royal bough]

Does anyone know how I fix this glitch ? It says searching for session but it never finds a session

[lusty tinsel]

Check your filters

[royal bough]

Nope it hasn't got anything to do with that

[ashen stratus]

Hi

[neon idol]

hello?

[quaint robin]

Turn it off and turn it on

[royal bough]

It works now after resetting my game lime 20 times

[quaint robin]

Yeah!

[neon idol]

soo with the deinonychus and its melee damage scaling its bleeding, 600% would like .3% per stack to 1.5% right?

[hidden kayak]

Anyone have any recommendations for dealing with wyverns? I’m on official settings so a lightning wyvern is going to one burst literally any tame I have

[earnest temple]

I almost lost my tek rex

[frigid minnow]

Hey, anyone got a dino recommendation for the ice cave on the island (idk if there is more then one) but location is all the way north near the little ice caps to the far west

I have to have my otter on my shoulders or I freeze but, I can't really kill anything I tried to bring a compy because mosschops couldn't fit and thing ran off the damn cliff

[formal nexus]

No but maybe a direwolf would work

How come every event colored Dino has trash levels/stats

[earnest temple]

I been fine with levels

Been seeing 140 to 120 rexes

[formal nexus]

BRO HOW

me over here finding lvl 12 Dino’s

[earnest temple]

I just kill everything and hope more good ones spawn

Just recently got my 177 tek rex

[formal nexus]

I do that sometimes but then my server does the dumb and doesn’t spawn any for like 15 in game days

Oh nice Rex though

[earnest temple]

almost lost em

[formal nexus]

What happened

[earnest temple]

Rock golem caught us on the way to the base

Probably why i should have 2 cryos eheheh...

[formal nexus]

That happened with a giga with me and my giga raged and got killed and I got killed so yeah that sucks

Super fun

[earnest temple]

I think the golem was close to death but i wasnt gonns risk it all

Mf had 700 hp when we got home

[formal nexus]

Bro was on life support

[earnest temple]

Lost my bery para for the cryo switch but we survivin

[formal nexus]

Dang

Oh how do you avoid the cryo sickness? It’s been bugging me for forever

[earnest temple]

Idek

Never had that issue

[fallen wigeon]

If you set your game to pve the cryo timer is disabled

[formal nexus]

Ok thanks

[fallen wigeon]

No problem

[earnest temple]

Oh....

Thats why i never had cryo sickness

I only have 1

[ruby totem]

im doing tribe wars 1v1v1v1v1 on center its microsoft ark if anyone wants to join

[formal nexus]

I also just started a new single player rag and I just got destroyed by a spino that spawned right in front of me

I’m starting to think ark hates me

[earnest temple]

Im still mad about those people blocking the monster artifact entrance

[formal nexus]

Just found the weirdest looking anky I have ever seen

Neon blue spikes with neon green skin and orange features

Bro is dripped out

[earnest temple]

I found a mostly orange and slightly purple argy before

It died sadly

Wasnt a high level but beautiful colors

I still have yet to get a flyer but i got rexes and no armor.

[dire tendon]

You on single player?

[fallen wigeon]

Single player definitely does the dumb a lot

I've been playing on a nondedicated with my girlfriend and it sucks, especially loading in and out of caves, the tether thing kinda just teleports you everywhere and dismounts you and eats your tames whenever it feels likes

[celest solar]

Does anyone know if reapers can go into the final boss fight on gen 2

[formal nexus]

Yea I’m on single

And no idk if they can go to the fight

[meager cliff]

has anyone ever had a problem when building a cryofloor that when you try place hatchframes over the floors it says to many structures in range 41/40

[vagrant walrus]

Yes they can, im doing that Boss usually with reapers and Shadowmanes

[silent matrix]

anyone know where i can post to get some help?

nvm

Proximity chat on pc sucks pretty bad too

Thats just how proximity chats in most games are

Especially with games that are as big and powerful as Ark is

But it also kinda is just hardware constraints too

[harsh dock]

Ik that developing anything in any game is difficult but all I want is good proximity chat on all platforms

That just isn't possible though

Especially with playstation fours being relatively outdated compared to Ark being a large and powerful game

The realistic answer is just buying a pc ngl-

You'll get more processing power and access to more content and games overall

Then don't just play ark on it

I've had my ps4 since i was like 12 or 13 i think- i just haven't upgraded yet, I've been looking for a laptop though

Expecting too much just isn't realistic, especially for ps4 though

My playstation sounds like a jet engine trying to run almost any relatively new game, the hardware just isn't there for it to run games

I don't have the space for a pc

Especially since im going to college soon, I'll need something portable like that anyways might as well make it a gaming laptop

Uhhh can i dm you? I don't wanna flood this chat with too much pc talk

I mean the mods might

But i guess they'll just yell at me if they do- hang on let me go look at the specs of the laptop i was wanting

Intel Core i7 11th Gen 11800H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 16 GB DDR4, 1 TB NVMe SSD

Its about 1500 usd

MSI

From what I've been told that would realistically be more than enough for basically any game on the market right now

I plan on getting a little fan thing to put it on too to help just incase it starts burning up

I don't really care that much for high graphics id probably just play on like just mid tier graphics anyways

Playing games at 1440p is like buying shoes but not wanting to wear them because you don't wanna get them dirty

I don't know what ps4 runs it at but it looks more than good enough for me on it

I think my tv is set to like 720p right now and i have zero issues with how it looks

Sheesh i just turned it down to 480p just to see what it would look like and that sent me back to the ps3 days

I mean pretty much i just don't see the need for ultra high graphics that murder the computer

Its so grainy at 480

[crystal citrus]

Hey, i have a question for the Ark Community on here. What dinosaur can bring down a Titanosaur and why?

Yeah, i've heard that Gigas are far more dangerous than hundreds of deathclaws in the Fallout Universe.

[slate widget]

anything with bleed

just get something with bleed to attack it while something else tanks it. or just dodge its attacks. its pretty slow so can just run around when on the smaller bleed dinos like deino or thyla.

[crystal citrus]

I can just imagine that if you only have a small wooden house, with very few tamed Dinos and have low tier gear/weapons and if a Giga appears out of nowhere. You're basically fucked at that point. Lol

[slate widget]

if they live near a giga spawn thats on them

then any flyer would work. just a few mistakes and you're dead tho. flyers get stuck on big dinos all the time.

was meaning the island, haven't played much of lost island to know where gigas spawn

I get that, just that pretty much any flyer could do that with enough stam. would just take forever and if you ever get stuck its over.

most maps only have 1-4 giga areas the island has 4 (on each mountain in the north)

oh wow. lost has a ton

it has 8 different areas 😂 sounds like a pain to find them.

gen2 also has 8 with 6 being for R-varient and 2 being for the normal.

I believe they have a timer on them unlike other dinos.

shadowmanes are fun, especially when they stun you when you are flying and you fall to your death

[maiden coral]

A tamed thyla will work just fine

Don't get hit

Me and my tribe have done done it with a thyla plenty of times

Its an easy way to get your whole tribe level 100

Jump in the air and hit it and when u land on the ground run and repeat

[crystal citrus]

Honestly, i'm surprised that an alpha lion sized cat can take down the most biggest dinosaur in Ark.

[maiden coral]

It's the bleed damage

[crystal citrus]

Oh, ok.

[whole frost]

is the valetines event even on? what happened to the love event ?

[agile dome]

#announcements

[whole frost]

but they didnt mention anything about the love event...

[fallen delta]

Who knows how to set the tribal alarm

[agile dome]

It's got mentioned in there, you need to read the evo love section

[whole frost]

aww thats kinda dumb ngl, the love event is the evo event just expanded... what happened to skins and stuff

[fallen wigeon]

Yeah im disappointed too- hopefully they do a normal easter event soon so i can crack some more eggs for chibis

[agile dome]

Didn't you know, all ark officials event ended on last year's winter wonderland

[fallen wigeon]

I mean love evo is still an official event

[whole frost]

yeah i did but i didnt think that would change the events in the future

[fallen wigeon]

The last creature was meant to be the charca too they're just throwing trash at the wall and hoping it buys them time for Ark 2

[agile dome]

They no longer do big events, no more cosmetics as they can be bought in gen hlna shop, they just make event with only rates and color now

[whole frost]

well I actually like the carchar but its a bit annoying to grow, feels worse then giga somehow

[whole frost]

thats kinda sad, they better have Ark 2 be way better

[fallen wigeon]

Yeah i know im just saying the last creature was meant to be the carcha and they did another dino vote

[whole frost]

I always loved the little songs adn the login page, specially for the fear evolved

[agile dome]

We can only hope, that's the best we can do

[fallen wigeon]

And they've entirely redone sotf, they're just trying to hold us over until Ark 2

[whole frost]

bro im must be dumb i thought thet new dino vote was for ark 2

[fallen wigeon]

Nah its not

[whole frost]

yeah idk im like 50/50 into ark 2, hopes its not gonne be $60 😬 and lol so i guess we get another bug in game lol

what more do we need...

[fallen wigeon]

Its gonna be no less than $60

$60 is pretty much the base for all new games it may end up being more tbh

[bright berry]

It’ll prob be 70

[whole frost]

sad day for my broke ass XD

[fallen wigeon]

Games are only gonna get more expensive

[whole frost]

yeah ik

[agile dome]

Keep your expectations low boy, and you'll never be disappointed - Kratos God of war. This is what I think when ark 2 is mentioned lol

[whole frost]

so what happenes to the chibis then? no more?

[whole frost]

oh yeah, expect disappointment and youll never be disappointed 🙂

[bright berry]

On Xbox they are releasing newer games at 70 instead of the usual 60

[whole frost]

hmm, ik alot of ps5 games being like 60-70+

[bright berry]

Yeah if they do that for consoles I’m sorry but they will do the same for pc

[whole frost]

yeah im sure they will

also how will chibis be made then if no more holiday events?

[tough yarrow]

You can buy them in the Genesis 1 and 2 HLNA shops.

[agile dome]

WC did us asia player bad, sold us premium price game but ended asia server support

[whole frost]

well they did NA servers bad along time ago, they had them as "NA" servers but were actually run out of europe or saise

[whole frost]

rip i dont like playing on either of those mpas they too laggy

[agile dome]

Now we just have to play with high ping server top with leggy features games

[bright berry]

Vpn

[whole frost]

vpn dont work on canadian computers

I tried and it just boost to to a NY "server" thing

[agile dome]

VPN is not a solution for high ping, it just to bypass if you can't play or no access

[whole frost]

yeah my pings around 32 most days which isnt bad

but go to a gen 1 or 2 NA server and it goes to like 80?

[agile dome]

My lowest is around 150 which is oc server, the nearest server for me

[bright berry]

I feel like 80 is bearable when it gets into 90-100 that’s when it starts rubber banding

[agile dome]

Imagine doing race mission with that ping, it's impossible to do alpha

Sometimes it's gets to 250 and that's when you get timeout dc

[fallen wigeon]

Its borderline impossible already

[whole frost]

i put a ? because i dont check my ping but i do rubber band whent heres to much around me like bases and dinos

its so bad for gen 1 boss fight thats the reaosn why i cant complete it

[fallen wigeon]

I think they tried to put too many entities in the gen 1 and 2 arena and thats why they're so laggy

[agile dome]

Gen 1 server is way better now days after was gen 2 released

It's was total unplayable b4 that

Boss fight was 50-50 because it was constantly dc crashing

[fallen wigeon]

Worth it

[whole frost]

they both still aint that great for me XD

[fallen wigeon]

The power of pretty negates all negatives

[agile dome]

Atleast not gen 2, I hate that map the most 🤣

[fallen wigeon]

I like gen 2 it's fun to just fly around and fight on

[whole frost]

also who in their right mind thought the way to tame shadowmanes and carchars was a good idea? like pasive taming and aggressive and fast as fuck creatre gonna kill me everytime

[fallen wigeon]

I think for shadowmanes its okay but carchas are annoying

[whole frost]

yeah i dont like gen2 either, the one side looks like the upsidedown of stragnerthings

[fallen wigeon]

Lets see what brilliant way they plan up for the bug

[agile dome]

Im losing progress more than gaining in that gen 2

[whole frost]

i mean true since they lay down, but i feel like a small timer should appear above their head for twhen they gonna wake up

[whole frost]

if its the same way to tame a oncy that would be okay, they kinda fun to tame actually

[fallen wigeon]

N o

It sucks they added pretty argies to gen 1 then disabled fliers

[whole frost]

Onyc are fun XD, bug spray and ghillie all you need

not even, can only use bugs spray and BOOM

[fallen wigeon]

Yeah i know but regularly

[fallen wigeon]

Noooo we don't need another passive tameeee

[whole frost]

can u fly in gen 2? for some reaosn I thought you couldnt

[fallen wigeon]

They need to either be an egg steal or a knockout tame

[fallen wigeon]

Yeah you can gen 1 is the one you can't fly on

[whole frost]

true true, passive taming kinda annoying on carnivores

[agile dome]

Free tek suit on day 1, so what do you think lol

[whole frost]

yeah but you can use a tek suit on gen 1 too

[agile dome]

In gen 2 you get free everytime you spawn

[fallen wigeon]

Can you?

I thought tek suits were disabled on gen 1

[agile dome]

Yeah It disable the tek chest piece

But not the rest

[whole frost]

I dont own a tek suit so tbh I wouldnt know if it worked or not, I just assumed

[fallen wigeon]

I think bloodstalkers are the best flying method on gen 1

Maewings might work?

I know managarmrs don't

[whole frost]

XD I psyically cant understand their mechanics on how they work lol

[agile dome]

Maewing,drakes works, manar nope

[whole frost]

no the bloodstalkers, also manas to quick they lagg my game

[fallen wigeon]

Technically the whale works? And idk about the dolphin?

[agile dome]

Yeah astrodelphis works

[fallen wigeon]

I think astrodelphis was the single worst decision wildcard made in the history of the game

[whole frost]

thats the teleporting whale right?

[fallen wigeon]

No thats astrocetus

[whole frost]

or the space dolphin?

[agile dome]

Space dolphins

[fallen wigeon]

Astrodelphis is the fighter jet

[agile dome]

Great titan killer

[whole frost]

ah, yeah i think i own a space whale cus someone gave me one, but not the dophin

[fallen wigeon]

The whales kinda suck but they're silly

[agile dome]

Solo desert titan with a wild tamed

[fallen wigeon]

I think they made the dolphin really bad but they wouldn't have had to make it so bad if it wasn't so broken on release

[whole frost]

some things i feel shouldnt have bee made in ark lol

[fallen wigeon]

Astrodelphis is the only issue I've ever really had tbh

[bright berry]

Gosh I hated those when they released

[fallen wigeon]

Samee

[whole frost]

what about pegos? I had em so much, the amount of tranq arrows and narcotics that they stole from me is insane

[fallen wigeon]

They're cute

They get cute privileges

Icthyornis suck but you can deal with those pretty easily

[whole frost]

oh the seagulls?

[fallen wigeon]

Yeah

[whole frost]

yeah i cant shoot em XD

[bright berry]

The blood splatter shows but doesn’t hit

[fallen wigeon]

With a bow its hard but once you have a gun it's easy

[agile dome]

Atleast with pego you still got chances to retrieve ur items

[fallen wigeon]

Remember when pegos used to eat cryopods

[whole frost]

troodons shouldnt be alove

[fallen wigeon]

Troodons are easy

[whole frost]

oh dont remind me XD

[agile dome]

ichthyornis straight just destroyed your stuffs

[bright berry]

Just need fire 🔥

[fallen wigeon]

You literally just have to hold a torch and troodons will leave you alone

I was in shock when i learned it was that simple

[whole frost]

ok but they bit you till your KO, then then fill upyour torp, run away, and just whehn your about to wake up they come back

[whole frost]

really?

[fallen wigeon]

Yup

[whole frost]

I"m in shock too

lool it didnt let me do all caps RIP

[fallen wigeon]

It's in the dossier, people just don't pay enough attention to those😭

[whole frost]

XD i only read them for the dinos that I like, and thats def not a troodon lol

[fallen wigeon]

Or i thought it was- i may have just made that part up but i know that is how it works

[whole frost]

im trying to read it

it does not mention it actually

[fallen wigeon]

Oh my mistake-

I guess i was just remembering reading it on the wiki and i got it mixed up or something

That would be something you would think would be in the dossier though

[earnest temple]

Quick question

Why arent the final final bosses giving me all the tek grams

[bright berry]

Because you may have done a boss that’s already given them?

[agile dome]

Different boss Different tekgrem

[whole frost]

lowkey the dossiers dont really help tho

[bright berry]

I. Never. Knew. That.

[whole frost]

oh the dimotrons? they are like mini ac's but not sure if they only work to cool eggs down that are too hot

[uneven bone]

is there a reason why dedicated server takes forever to load ?
500 MB/s SATA SSD: 447 seconds
3500 MB/s SSD: 290 - 350 seconds

[whole frost]

also raptos are good hide collectors, speccially since sabor saddle like lvl 40+

also the diplocaus thing is like an oxy tank or somthing i heard

[uneven bone]

even without mods it runs this slow

but loading singleplayer is like 4-6 seconds

[agile dome]

Could be your net connection

[uneven bone]

1500 mbps

i9-9900k
32 GB 3200 MHz CAS 18
3080 Ti

[agile dome]

Even with my 30mbps only took me 1 minutes to load in officials server

[uneven bone]

i'm not talking loading into a server, i'm talking turning ON a server

[agile dome]

It's normal then

[uneven bone]

it only takes me 4-6 seconds to load into servers

[agile dome]

Even an official server took about 15 mins to startup after it shutdown

[uneven bone]

idk it just feels so unoptimized

i thought i could improve it

[agile dome]

Its just the way it is

[uneven bone]

i have 2 NVMe's

1. 500 GB
2. 2 TB
   3 Hard drives
3. 1 TB
4. 2 TB
5. 4 TB
   and 1 Sata SSD 240 GB

boot is on the 500 GB NVMe

i do a lot of stuff

let me check

[whole frost]

oh actualy i meant to ask someone, when you start a single player world/map and name your character

does it change to "human" when you actually get entered into the map?

[agile dome]

Human is default names for characters if you didn't changes it

[uneven bone]

9.738 TB total
4.770 TB used

[whole frost]

but i did change it before spawning into the map, but its like it chnaged it back when i spawned in for the first time

[warm imp]

Anyone on PlayStation unable to load any servers rn?

[agile dome]

Then I'm not sure why tho sorry

[uneven bone]

9 TB 738 GB

i was actually supposed to get a 1 TB NVMe that can go at 7.3 GB/s, but they sent me the wrong one, and they sent me a 2 TB instead which could go at 5.15 GB/s
i only have PCIe gen 3 anyway so i can't go past 3.5 - 4 GB/s

[whole frost]

aw rip

[uneven bone]

i see this as an absolute win

PCIe 2 ?

oh god

yeah that makes sense then

well hey at least if you upgrade theres that

i meant if you upgrade to something that can handle the speed

wait now i'm confused, did you mean 1.5 GB/s or it only has 1.5 TB

ah right

my library is over 1.8 TB

yeah practically

likely, theyre also expensive for low performance

if you have a fast enough USB-C or something you can also use a external NVMe adapter

but i doubt you'd ever get full speed

[winged vortex]

does anybody know if you can auto feed a rock drake with a maywing?

[uneven bone]

fair

[untold lichen]

Ark servers are down

[uneven bone]

yeah thats why i have like 10 ports

[tough yarrow]

Yes you can, make sure it has nameless venom.

[uneven bone]

i got tired of laptops breaking so i went for desktop

[tough yarrow]

Please keep this channel on ark, move outside conversations to #general

[unique topaz]

@untold lichen

Official Server Reports

If your official ARK server is currently offline, unstable, or having issues with transfers or lost data, then please submit a server report.

(NOTE: please wait up to 30 minutes after a server crash to submit a report)

[uneven bone]

fair

[velvet flame]

Being reminded that Equu's use to require troodon eggs for their perfect tame

[tough yarrow]

Lol

[winged vortex]

like in the maywings inventory or the rockdrakes inventory

[tough yarrow]

The maewing, and enable nursing 🙂

[winged vortex]
