[balmy helm]

Good to know thanks

Try to come up with so rules and restrictions for my next playthrough as it's set in a specific time period.

What's a good mature speed for a single player game?

[lime tinsel]

yall, i need help

im about to do the tek cave

i used 8 rexes and 19 theris with cakes and 1 yuty

is that enough?

[gloomy bough]

It is possible that a tamed dino disappeared?

A second before is alive and following you and the second after just puf, disappear

[regal yarrow]

I wanna say I talked too you in syntac discord. With the stats you had and the saddles you can get away with 3 rexes

[lime tinsel]

ok

but i lined em up and i wanna know if its ok

can i send it there?

[regal yarrow]

Go slowly, take your time going down with the rexes in front. And go super fast getting the theris down

[lime tinsel]

What do you mean by going faster with the theris?

[regal yarrow]

Most of the time in the tek cave is spent getting the theri army down the cave lol

[atomic torrent]

If the golems are admin spawned into an arena for fun; can a player in a mek easily defeat a high level rock elemental or is it an even match

Like, trying to kill, not knock it out with their gun

[regal yarrow]

Depends on the quality of mek, how much space there is and how much ele the mek guy has. On average I would probably say mek wins 9/10

[atomic torrent]

Gotcha thx

[torn pier]

i like to keep it at max just because of how little time I have to play

it takes around 10-15 minutes for a baby to fully grow, but when i have breaks i turn it down and it takes about 30 minutes-an hour

keep in mind if you plan on breesing for bosses you should scale the imprint timer accordingly, or else youll have to cuddle it in 4 hours but it reaches adulthood in 10 minutes

[upper jolt]

Definitely go with max unless you wanna be like me sitting there for 12 hours for them to grow (:

[atomic torrent]

Imagine if in Ark 2 you can build American Civil War esque Ironclad warships and direct trained npcs to man the cannons

Or a mod for Ark, which probably already exists minus the npc part

[silent matrix]

crazy that industrial grinder is 3200 ingots and unlocked before industiral forge

[wicked ibex]

anyone down to start a ark wipe

[glad junco]

Is ARK down? there are no sessions

[regal yarrow]

Well, objectively speaking it is way less valuable than the forge

[glad junco]

My dinos are going to starve. Anyone know what is happening to ARK. i want to know if it is just me or its happening to all

[topaz yew]

198 runes on fjordur

100 spots left to check

I really hope those last two are early in this guide. I don't want to check all 100 spots for the last two runes

[silent matrix]

I'm saying it costs so much for being unlocked before

[atomic torrent]

Do I know you from years back on Shadiverse

-Warp

Googling down detectors doesn’t show any active reported outages for Ark servers (on any platforms), so it may just be you. Restarting the game and console may fix it 🤷‍♂️

[north sparrow]

So I hopped into genesis part 2 to try and get a snow owl and imported my character, taming kit and everything only to have it boost tf out of my levels and give me tek armor. What maps do this??

[solid halo]

i dont wanna enter my ragnarok game now cuz theres a Terizino camping my loot

😿

[limber current]

The tek armor is part of spawning in gen2, it has no durability so it never breaks and never runs out of power, only downside is 20 armor per piece instead of the normal 180 from tekgram

[balmy helm]

How many characters can a tribe name have in game?

[regal yarrow]

Depends entirely on what the cluster sets it to

Oh, never mind, I read that wrong

[deft roost]

Anyone got map suggestions for me? played through the island 3 times and ragnarok once. looking for new gameplay, maps change and just something new.. any suggestions?

[regal yarrow]

Fjordur

[vocal pawn]

Would I still have my tames when I get back on? The server crashed while I was flying and now I’m not able to return to that server

[deft roost]

1-10? also if you don’t mind? a broad general explanation of what it’s like

[vocal pawn]

It’s cold but it’s really beautiful too

[regal yarrow]

Having played the island and rag, probably the best ones to play are the other paid dlc maps, or lost island and fjordur. Fjordur has everything good from all the maps, and has lots of castles lol

[deft roost]

is there good loot in castles? like loot crates? also in the paid dlcs, which are good?

[regal yarrow]

Ab is the best, both genesis are good

The castles are base spots, not loot spots

[deft roost]

ahhhh okay. thank you! also, what about aberration makes it so good?

[regal yarrow]

You'll have to play to find out 😈

[deft roost]

hahaha thank you. i’ll play Fjordur then buy the dlcs after

[regal yarrow]

Fjordur is really good

[upper jolt]

It’s fun

I like exploring the realms and fun for the tames just wish they’d add Sinos ;^;

[deft roost]

i can’t wait!

[gritty herald]

can i transfer itmes between. servers in obelisk inv?

[north sparrow]

Can I not send gifs

I decided to grapple tame a Snow Owl from my Argy and Im realizing how difficult this is going to be

[regal yarrow]

Why don't you just trap it?

[winged hamlet]

grapple tame is more for quetz

[slate widget]

can't you net then trap those

[winged hamlet]

i dunno if they work on quetz, but before the net grapple tame was the way i always used for first quetz

[slate widget]

I don't remember how I first tamed one lol. but before nets I just used a griffin I think.

I might've never tamed one before griffin as I hate grapples.

[winged hamlet]

then id build a flying cage and get better quetz

[atomic torrent]

I started the Lost Island as my second ever map and am loving it.

It’s got at least one area of a lot of the total biomes from other maps from what I’ve read, and I really like the separate mainland with the Scorched Earth biome, which was nice for me since I wanted access to Scorched Earth but didn’t want to have it be just a desert map

[bleak quartz]

Jo guys I have a bug where I don't get the mutagen note on gen 2, found bunch of mutagen plants but still don't have the note. Someone know how to fix it?

[cursive valley]

Guys
For some reason my argentavis became a smithy

[reef torrent]

Have you equipped a saddle onto it?

Or has it changed its molecular composition to that of a smithy?

[cursive valley]

A saddle

But only on that one

The other ones whit the same saddle are normal

[weary willow]

how and what i need to report someones that rmts?

@cursive valley when you put a saddle on and argentavis(argy) you can craft stuff in it like you can in a smithy, also when you ride it press f to craft while riding it

[winged hamlet]

#reporting-players

would need proof

[weary willow]

of what

exactly

[winged hamlet]

iunno, you're looking to report someone

[weary willow]

for rmty

rmt*

[deft roost]

awesome thank you sm! i’ll definitely check it out

[mellow moss]

Where do I go to fins a team haven't played in awhile

[cursive valley]

Thats not a bug?

[last siren]

Hello i am searching for a pump bp or a pickaxe bp or a axe bp or a Thyla saddle bp(pve) pm me 🙂 ill pay however you want

[weary willow]

No?

[weary willow]

hold ur cursor over the saddle

[last siren]

It's not a bug😂 it's a feature just like in the equus

[weary willow]

I know? he said '' its not a bug? im not a stupid bob

i say its not a bug

how can it be a bug too

[shadow creek]

Is there any info about the easter event?

[atomic torrent]

It will be on or around Easter if it happens

I believe I can safely say that will be the case anyways

[gentle kestrel]

guys

anyone know why my ragnarok map sometimes crash?

[muted gorge]

Does anyone know when the Easter event usually starts?

[agile dome]

Read 2 post above you

[potent goblet]

ever since I attempted to play on lost island, my saves have begun to just crash when loaded up this sucks ass

[topaz yew]

I did it!

All 200 runes on Fjordur!

[unborn lantern]

What do you guys think is the best celestial and demonic in Primal Fear?

[zealous epoch]

guys why when i join my friend in ark it makes me go back to the main screen

[gloomy bough]

guys a question, a dino in follow can go over the level cap of a server and so disappear?

[cold merlin]

bruh
guys in ark it„s ok to have like 20 -30 fps when i have all low with a 4070 ti ?

[late rampart]

No.

[cold merlin]

huuuh

[potent goblet]

it's ok yeah
but it is a litte weird

[late rampart]

We'll need more information though. A 4070Ti with a budget CPU should run you a solid 60 on epic everything unless you are in a VERY overcrowded base. (Or running the game at 8K or something stupid like that.)

Is it a laptop? Maybe you are overheating. Maybe you are doing RAM intensive stuff in the background? Maybe your AV is currently running a scheduled scan? So many factors...

First thing you can do is go to Task Manager -> performance and see if anything is pegged at 100%.

[cold merlin]

ok

well

i7 7700k , pc, 4070 ti, 16 ram, run the game on hard drive

i think i should restat the game and it`s ok

I'll come back after I restart to see if I still have problems or not

and yeah i have a VERY overcrowded base. becouse it is 5* years old 🙃

[tiny raptor]

yeah, you'll always have bad lag in overcrowded bases

im sure that number will go way up when you go out of render

[cold merlin]

oh ok

[winged hamlet]

one way i improved my game when i had a HDD computer was to get a USB SSD and move Ark onto it

[cold merlin]

yea ?

i should buy a 1T ssd and move ark on it

[tiny raptor]

SSD is a gamechanger

[winged hamlet]

yeah

[cold merlin]

oh ok ty i will do that then

[winged hamlet]

now my laptop just has an SSD so it runs great

[tiny raptor]

you'll be blown away by the difference

[winged hamlet]

on a HDD it used to take me about 10-15 minutes to load up on a server with several mods

[tiny raptor]

lots of videos on good ones def do research i think you'd want an m.2 or something

[winged hamlet]

now i can log in and be playing in less than 2

[cold merlin]

ohh ok

[cold merlin]

i will search

[cold merlin]

2 min ? lol

[winged hamlet]

granted you are still limited by RAM and GFX

but an SSD makes a world of difference

[cold merlin]

oh

[winged hamlet]

just make sure not to bump the cord or the drive while you're playing the game

[tiny raptor]

i think he's getting an internal one

[cold merlin]

I don't know why I didn't want to buy an SSD until now

[tiny raptor]

not an external, internal is the best way to go

[winged hamlet]

they are more expensive than HDD

[cold merlin]

kk

[tiny raptor]

one that you connect to your motherboard

[cold merlin]

i can conect ssd on mother board ?

[winged hamlet]

and until recently SSDs were limited on space. that's improved now but typically an HDD can hold more than most SSDs

[cold merlin]

lol

[tiny raptor]

yeah external ones are nice for portability but internal are usually a lot faster along with the fact that they can't get unplugged

[cold merlin]

oh ok

[winged hamlet]

i haven't had a tower in more than a decade so i was stuck with external until i could get a laptop with an internal one

[cold merlin]

nice

[winged hamlet]

it worked well enough for me

[raw solstice]

Does chibis will still be obtainable on évent (without cooking pot) when we Switch on évent ourself when évent will bé stoped or does théy will bécome unobtainable legit ?

[thorn basalt]

Anyone wanna tribe on smalls ? Or need a new member I got experience and tames and some starting bits

[desert rock]

Guys, i recently i cant transfer out to other server i make base with

It always says connection timed out while yesterday it was fine, not only in just one server but other server doesnt work too

Probably my connection, but not sure because i can join other server without transferring

[silent matrix]

does someone know when the beginner server wipe?

[topaz yew]

After spending the last half an hour trying to figure out what was causing this weird heart beat sound

I found out it's something the neighbors are doing.

[zealous epoch]

guys why when i join my friend in ark it gives me a black screen then makes me go back to the main screen

[silent matrix]

Random question: Why cant I bring a giga into the boss arena?

[late rampart]

Because it's too heavy. The boss room teleporter has a weight limit per dino and gigas exceed it.

[eternal tundra]

anyone knows how to lower foundations on ark only with s+ parts? dont have access to the vanilla ones

[clever gorge]

Wipe Official PVP servers, full wipe.

Smalls, normal, crossark, the whole nine yards all wiped clean, and LDL too.

[analog harbor]

hey i cannot join my friend in non dedicated session, it says join failed every time
I play on pc (xbox game pass)

[clever gorge]

are they also on xbox?

[gritty herald]

can i get big amount of silica pearls without a water dino?

[random wigeon]

go island eastern beach snow border

[fair wyvern]

[random wigeon]

very easy silica pearls

nvm

not eastern

just look up silica pearls island

anyway im about to do broodmother for first time im pretty sure my dinos are good enough but is there anything else i should bring?

like for example i saw on wiki u need to bring calien soup cos its really hot

should i take my shotgun in there and risk losing?

[cursive valley]

how do i make coloured flare guns?

[upper jolt]

[cursive valley]

i need it to troll my firend

[upper jolt]

I wanna know as well pls

[fair wyvern]

[cursive valley]

how dye

how do i make it

[silent matrix]

Hi guys I am new to the game I try to play with my friend. We are both on Epic Games and we don't manage to be together in a private game... PLS HELP ME 😭

[vivid jetty]

is there any recruitment discords ?

[weary willow]

guys

nvm

[mental minnow]

why is my anky not collecting metal while im carrying it with an argy?

[fair wyvern]

anky only auto harvests when it’s below 50% weight

[mental minnow]

only 15% of its weight is used

[fair wyvern]

the anky’s weight, right?

[mental minnow]

yes

[mental minnow]

its only collecting the rich metal

there's many normal metal rocks but its not collecting them

[fair wyvern]

Strange, can’t say I’ve had that problem before, guess you’ll just have to harvest those manually

[zealous epoch]

why are wyvern eggs not spawning in fjordur

or like i cant even find a nest

its just empty

[manic pollen]

best food for gacha taming right now? to at least get full levels or like -1 or 2 ?

[hoary path]

Official or unofficial

[indigo sonnet]

Do you think hatchet deserves to be in the 1 slot or the pick honesty it’s gotta be hatchet for me

[rough pagoda]

my friend and i have the non dedicated tether distance at 6000 but every time we enter a cave and move away 1 meter it teleports us to each other

[fair wyvern]

is this a question or a statement

[rough pagoda]

question i guess

[fair wyvern]

the only way to have that not happen would be to play on a server

[rough pagoda]

oh

[fair wyvern]

or just never enter caves I guess

[rough pagoda]

so we can’t beat the game unless we pay for to turn it into a server?

[fair wyvern]

how does the game forcing you to be close together in caves make the game unbeatable

[rough pagoda]

no like it doesn’t let us move cuz it just constantly teleports us together and back to the start

everything else runs perfectly just the second we step into a cave it breaks

[fair wyvern]

interesting

[zealous epoch]

un offical

its the non deticated i think it was called

Hi, i have a question, how do i make the ActiveEventColors=Custom work? i already provided a dynamiccolorset list in the gameusersettings, even after wiping dinos, theyre still not spawning

My Gameusersettings is like this

ActiveEventColors=Custom
DynamicColorset=Green,Yellow,LightGreen,LightYellow,DarkGreen,DinoLightYellow,DinoDarkYellow,DinoLightGreen,DinoMediumGreen,DinoDarkGreen,DragonGreen0,DragonGreen1,DragonGreen2,DragonGreen3,DarkTurquoise,MediumTurquoise,Turquoise,GreenSlate,Sage,Mustard,LemonLime,Mint,Jade,PineGreen,SpruceGreen,LeafGreen,DarkTeal,MediumTeal,Teal,Custard

[violet merlin]

suggest some ark creature mods, i need more creatures to mutate -w-

[gloomy fiber]

Ark Additions, Additional Creatures: Wild Ark

[sand holly]

I saw a weird colored rock so I went closer and it was a dinosaur 💀

[violet merlin]

already got all those 😄

[gloomy fiber]

mmmm

zytharia critters?

[violet merlin]

they look cool but alot of them look non mutateable/breedable xD

[gloomy fiber]

Also, i cant find any info on this, all i can find is something about dynamic config and servers, and im on singleplayer

[violet merlin]

make sure you make your gameusersettings after editing it readonly

[gloomy fiber]

?

[violet merlin]

theres an option to make the txt read only

[gloomy fiber]

option doesnt show for me, and other settings work fine, only the active event colors option doesnt work

[pure sparrow]

If I take a few tames to take on an alpha so I can earn chibi xp, do I not get any if it wasn't me or the tame I'm riding that got the kill?

[slate widget]

I believe so yeah, you or the dino you're riding has to get final hit.

[pure sparrow]

Bummer, well now I know. Thanks

[cold merlin]

guys

in primal fear there is an stego or how it names who collect a lot of metal silica etc and it is purple ?

srry for my english

[cyan inlet]

what exactly is the question?

[cold merlin]

wait i will use a translet 🙂

in primal fear mode is there a stegosaurus or something like that that is purple in color and collects a lot of materials or is it from eternal mode?

[cyan inlet]

what kind of material are you looking to harvest? Different dino can harvest different ting at different amount depedning

[stuck shadow]

Anyone know if they're doing g a stream to talk through anything... or are we just getting a picture of the roadmap? 👀

I haven't seen any posts about a stream/release time.

[glad totem]

Wildcard has not said anything, so we will all find out tomorrow

[winged hamlet]

log out then back in

[tidal locust]

Hey, i started playing aek genesis and i was introduced to the hexagon exchange shop, you can buy items and skins from the shop, so the question that i have is are these skins permanent, like if you die do you respawn with them

Ik some skins surely aren't permanent but what about the others

[late rampart]

I seem to recall someone saying that the Tek Cave door will 1-shot your dinos. Unfortunately they didn't give any context as to how/when it would do that. Does it have like a keep-out zone where nothing survives when it gets opened?

[oak void]

Nah you'll have to buy them again if you lose them on death

anyone wanna hop on vc

[limber current]

If your character position is inside the tek door due to the saddle location on the dino when u walk the dino into the closed door, it will kill u

[old frost]

hi! Who have expirience with genesis pass and chibis?
How they work? If player respawn and lvl up chibi, and then die, what happen with that chibi and is other players can up his maximum lvl with someones other lvl 5 chibi?

[mortal raft]

if you have a chibi and you die, you lose it or better said it is with your corpse.

and if you have a maximum chibi another player cant use the same chibi for more level

[old frost]

am i right understand, that if i will find someones lvl 6 chibi, i will cant euqip that and up my own max lvl?

[mortal raft]

you can equip this lvl 6 (max) chibi but you won't get the 5 extra levels from it

[old frost]

okay, thanks. And what about genesis pass owners? They spawn every time with a chibi, can i use their lvl1 chibis for lvl up them and up my max lvl?

[mortal raft]

you can use their chibis yeah. when its lvl 1 and you level it up to lvl 6 you get 5 levels

[mortal raft]

example: when you use a level 2 chibi and level it up to 6 then you get only 4 lvl. then you have to make a new one until level 6 to get the last level you dont got before

[mortal raft]

so i recommend you to level 1 chibi from 1 to 6 and take care of it until its done 🙂

when the chibi reaches level 6 you can do what ever you want with the chibi. the levels are saved.

[old frost]

okay, thank you for answers 🙂

[mortal raft]

you're welcome 🙂

[final glacier]

Fjordur is having some issues. I'm on my server currently. But I'm rubberbanding so bad I can't do anything

Event this weekend what we thinking ?

[silent matrix]

So I asked this a couple days ago no one came up with a solution but, I’ll ask again lol. So my game is like super super vibrant on Xbox series x, like the reds are super red, and my hot bar went from a dark blue to a bright cyan, does anyone know how to fix this? because it’s driving me nuts lol

[west compass]

I think that’s just you

[vernal cipher]

can someone recommend me a stacking mod atm im using ultra stacks but its buggy and discontinued, also doesnt work with older worlds and doesnt stack some things properly. I'm looking for a stacking mod that significantly decreases weight as well :)

[tough yarrow]

HG Stacks or HazeStacks

[vernal cipher]

whats the difference

and whichj do you prefer and why?

[late rampart]

In the tek cave, there is the blue force field that separates the lava zone from the cold zone. Can you go back and forth or is it a 1-way thing?

Anyone?

I really don't want to just "try it" and leave half my army behind...

[atomic torrent]

If I understand this correctly, Managarmrs can’t fly per se, just boost into the air and jank to the left or right and glide/slow fall back down, but without the much longer glide distance of a maewing or anything. Is this correct, or have I just misunderstood the controls and missed how to fly with it?

[late rampart]

Sounds about right.

They are insanely fast if you want to just go somewhere, though. Boost up, boost forward until stamina is depleted, you just crossed half the map in a few seconds.

[atomic torrent]

Ye the stamina is really low on it so it’ll be a while till it’s able to really travel like that
Tbh I should just tame a female (it’s male) and breed for a new one I assume

I also met my first Rock Golem today, on the darn desert biome beach of all places, right next to the ocean, but it was a whole lot less threatening due to moving at a snails pace 😛

The Mana’s walking normally speed is decent enough that I can outwalk most predators while slowly regaining stamina for more hops so that’s nice

[lone trench]

someyone want to play ark with me only epic or steam

[gusty cliff]

how the hell do reapers work? i have been grabbed by 3 of em but i still dont have a baby

[cunning charm]

They can be a bit buggy. If they grab your through terrain and stuff they'll just drop you. When they do the sniff animation, jump. It sometimes helps.

[lone trench]

someyone wants to join my game only steam epic

[gusty cliff]

Thank you il try that next time

[odd heart]

#735196255483068497 also epic 😐

Can a lightning wyvern dismount you from your flyer?

[gusty cliff]

I dont think so

[slate widget]

The voidwyrm is the dismount wyvern

[upper lance]

I'm sorry but I didn't mean anything bad. Was just saying That if he does want to know if he still keep the skins after death then he just has to kill HIS AVATAR okay ? Nothing wrong, dude ._.

[odd heart]

Poison can technically if it knocks u out

[slate widget]

Yeah that also works. Would probably be easier to just flyer pickup the rider tho.

If it's wild, you got pretty unlucky lol

Anyone else having issues with servers crashing randomly over the past couple days?

Yeah, but the error is weird

[unique topaz]

@whole sandal

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)

[odd heart]

Yes but only wyvern, drakes, magmasaurs and voidwyrm eggs

[whole sandal]

Something to do with PrimalDinoCharacter::Unstasis

[spark bay]

when transferring dinos from one ark to another in a cryopod do you need to take off the saddle to keep the saddle

no

I have bug, steam show me that server overfull 76/70 and dont allow me to join to the server, but actually there is 15 players on that server, ingame search cant find that server which i want to play, so i cant press join. Launch options with +connect begin the connecting, but throw me "login error" every time. Is there any way to directly join the server?

[plush blaze]

anyone know any good pvp servers steam

most are xbox or win 10 so finding one is hard

[static fiber]

What’s the deal with server rates and events?

[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.

[primal crater]

Is grinder a useful thing to have? I have the resources, but it is expensive and I am not sure how much value it is. LIke I can grind the not so useful crate finds into materials?

[fleet coyote]

Yes, use the stuff you don’t need that you get out of drops and put it into the grinder

[cunning charm]

If you have a lot of spare gear that can be ground down to materials. So it depends. If you have gachas or do a lot of drop farming definitely.

[edgy parrot]

guys how can i talk in ark pc

[cunning charm]

It also can grind stone to flint which can be handy and gives xp

[winged vortex]

how many dinos can you take into the extinction bosses?

[primal crater]

If I do "cheat destroywilddinos" It will not only destroy, but it will also spawn new ones like in the beginning of the game?

[fair wyvern]

yes, dinos will slowly spawn back in

[fair wyvern]

As many as your system can handle without crashing

[winged vortex]

soooo all of them?

(i don't got that many)

[fair wyvern]

or until you reach tribe tame limit but yeah, you can use a ton

[winged vortex]

I only used 3 for the desert-
and like 17 for the ice-

[fair wyvern]

could’ve used 300 creatures if you wanted

[winged vortex]

time to get my whole army to kill the forest

[silent matrix]

What settings have a high impact in performance

[royal brook]

The building mechanics are bugging out today. Yesterday i was able to build a structure and then replace all the structure pieces with other materials. Now I have to destroy the structure piece that I want to swap materials on before I can build the new structure piece.

Anyone else having this issue?

[fathom yacht]

My guess is no evo today, but easter evo on Monday that’s gonna run for 2 weeks, similar to last year’s event.

[ornate locust]

We already know then even is?

[fathom yacht]

I’m going by parallelism here. They said 2022 was the last year for events. For Valentine’s we didn’t get a full event, but got an EVO with colored dinos for the same duration as last year’s event. And that EVO didn’t even get announced until it was on. So my guess is that they’ll do the same for other events. An EVO with colored dinos without those other event stuff (special dinos and skins) for the same duration as past years.

[bold crown]

I have a problem Im trying to enter to lost island but after a minute it crashes

[static crater]

@everyone

[full badge]

Wooo evo event.

[fathom yacht]

Guess I was wrong about no evo this weekend.still hope i’m right about easter evo

[pliant locust]

🤡

[static crater]

🐵

[spark sedge]

There are no boss Arenas on extinction, all the fights take place in the open world

You're free to bring whatever and however many creatures you want

King Titan is usually fought with as many gigas as you can pull together for example

All the summoning Platforms in the caves do teleport you but they only teleport you back to the open world where the monsters are fought. There is nothing stopping you from parking 45 gigas and a Titanosaurus right where they will spawn except your own ambitions

[old seal]

any news on the roadmap?

[fair wyvern]

not yet, any info will be posted in #announcements or #766826918803800074

[old seal]

word

it was scheduled for today tho right

[fair wyvern]

correct

[muted estuary]

Yeh but it’s wildcard “today” actually means 3weeks from now

[clever gorge]

#wipeofficialpvp

[wise river]

did everyone get a 17gb update today?

[old seal]

ark moment

[wise river]

What u mean?

[vocal marsh]

it was only 500mb

[wise river]

I just had a 17gb update for no reason then

[vocal marsh]

you dind

those 17gb is the ark files i tink

[glossy parrot]

the only game that you can have a 500 mb update/ your friend has a 4 gb update and another guy has 17gb of update lol

[pliant locust]

500mb to DOWNLOAD but about 17gb (on steam at least) had to be patched/changed/whatever on your system.
yet you only had to download 500mb*
its quite normal, and also happens on other games in similiar dimensions actually

[wise river]

idk man, but is done so

[vocal marsh]

hmhmm

[glossy parrot]

500 mb to download and 17 gb of files to verify/edit

[vocal marsh]

i was trying to say that but my English is bad XD

[silent matrix]

Would I be able to kill most the rock drakes in the fjordur cave with a 7k health Andrew?

[wise river]

does anyone know when the roadmap will be released?

[pliant locust]

na supposedly today but so far its total radio silence

[wise river]

thx

[glossy parrot]

if it delays for another few mins it's gonna be april's 1st in eu and they can get away with saying "april fools"

[mint fossil]

SO we geting ark 1 again from the start xD? or what they mean with this ARK: Survival Ascended is a next-generation remaster of our beloved ARK: Survival Evolved, harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 5. It will be released on Xbox Series S/X, PC (Windows/Steam), and PlayStation 5 by the end of August 2023. The base game will include The Island

[bright trellis]

So official servers are going offline in august for the new ark remaster ?

[limber solar]

looks liek it

and will need to buy the remastered version

[bright trellis]

So basically ark relaunched

[mint fossil]

Well

Im addiced so guess ill get it

[old frost]

today one man gave me chibi, but i cant wear it. There is warning in description that i should have genesis dlc. Do you know the way to wear it?

[glacial scarab]

Lmao while yall stressing trying to find a good base spot breeding etc im just here chilling in solo player
(I dont have the stupid ps plus scam)

[glacial scarab]

Buy the dlc

[mint fossil]

But i guess this gona be the "wipe" i wantet for years

[glacial scarab]

I have ALL the dlcs

[mint fossil]

Now u can buy them again 😉

[glacial scarab]

Ark 2:

I have VERY low expectations

For ark 2

[mint fossil]

Ok

[bright trellis]

It also says non canon dlc maps at launch ,does that mean center rag ?etc

[mint fossil]

Only island it seems

[glacial scarab]

The island is cannon tho

[old frost]

I have bought season pass when game release, and its tell that i will have all next dlc include. Now there is another dlc for another dlc for having max lvl up.
Its like pay to win system. Dont like this system.

[bright trellis]

Yea

[mint fossil]

ah i missread

[glacial scarab]

Ark isnt p2w

(Unless ur on mobile)

[mint fossil]

Well it seems like they gona add non cannon later on so island only map out from start

[glacial scarab]

What are yalls favorite map?

[bright trellis]

Yea

[mint fossil]

Rag

[glacial scarab]

Some people might dislike it but i enjoy abb

Its really fun to glide around the caves

[obsidian verge]

Aberration

[mint fossil]

Abb was good too but easy to mesh

[jade leaf]

So they are closing the official servers that is what they're saying? Right?

[old frost]

if you have genesis dlc and i dont, its mean that you have 5 lvl cap higher than me. Without end the bosses. Its look like its p2w

[glacial scarab]

Yeah abb isnt the.... least laggy map

(Its the definition of crashing)

[jade leaf]

A lot of information to process in the whole road map am I reading it correctly guys? They will be closing official servers on xbox, pc and playstation?

[fair wyvern]

At the end of august, yes

[jade leaf]

But they said before they wouldn't do that, ark 1 servers would be kept open whilst ark 2 starts up

[mint fossil]

Guess that kill of the black market xD

[fair wyvern]

well, they changed their mind apparently

[glacial scarab]

Im the type of guy to bring 20 reapers to the gamma abb boss

[jade leaf]

Well by the look of it, so many are furious at this

[fair wyvern]

which is no surprise

[gilded bloom]

RIP ARK

[glacial scarab]

?

This game is pretty alive still

[jade leaf]

Theyve ruined their own game and its heart breaking. This game is so amazing

[gilded bloom]

Shutting down servers and making people pay 90$ for the new ones

[mint fossil]

Right now game just full with insiders or people selling dinos. for real money so i dont care if they close them

[jade leaf]

Not all of us are though and we've worked hard to get what we have and enjoy

[glacial scarab]

Wow playing on playstation without sca- playstation plus is really like living under a rock

(I REALLY hate playstation plus)

[mint fossil]

Hope they wont have cavebuilding xD in new

[glacial scarab]

Screw people who build in caves

[mint fossil]

Cavebuilding kill of fun part of pvp.

[primal fern]

i mean, the 2024 was expected, end not so much, but the Ascended is kinda.. split problem

[mint fossil]

Guess i unistall the game now xD hah

[glacial scarab]

I have a MAXIMIZED character

[glacial scarab]

You play ark dont pretend like your not gonna continue playong the game anyways

[scarlet cedar]

dead game , rip

[severe crag]

so, no info about the easter evo

shouldnt that literally be monday

[gilded bloom]

Rip that

[mint fossil]

unsure what u meant xD im removing this version and gona buy the new one?

[glacial scarab]

In solo

[glacial scarab]

Oh

[gilded bloom]

Still losing dev support

[severe crag]

I'm not getting that anyways so i dont care.

[glacial scarab]

Wdym?

[gilded bloom]

Devs only doing crash fixes for ark survival evolved

[rigid kraken]

So are offical servers going down permanently then?

[severe crag]

Find it amusing they said that it would be a free upgrade, and now its a paid upgrade.

[gilded bloom]

Yes as of august

[tough yarrow]

In August.

[severe crag]

Data would carry over, now it wont.

[gilded bloom]

It’s complex who rights the community crunches, should set some realistic expectations with that plant pot

[severe crag]

It was the owner himself who tweeted it.

[primal fern]

Yeah, i think that will be the death sentence..

[gilded bloom]

They are all plant pots at that studio!

[severe crag]

Overwatched self deleted and replaced by overwath 2

[glossy parrot]

Official Servers: With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will sunset all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved

[severe crag]

They raged for a week.

Their all still playing.

[gilded bloom]

Overwatch 2 is free.

[glossy parrot]

I am not logging if it's gonna be gone anyways

[severe crag]

Doesnt matter, they raged hard about it.

[primal fern]

If you cant see the difference between overwatch and ark..

[gilded bloom]

And it’s still suffering. Charging 90$ for ark 1.5 is going to ruin the ark franchise

[severe crag]

They were like 'im done with blizz, blah blah' and yet, their back playing it.

[jade leaf]

Its free. This is buying it allllll again

[severe crag]

Don't.buy.it. Just like me. 🙂

[primal fern]

again, if you cant see the difference between overwatch/blizz (hahah diablo mobile), you serious missing the point

[fathom yacht]

so... we're gonna have to pay for the game again and buy all the xpansion packs... again?

[glacial scarab]

I dont think they should be starting to stop development on ark survival evolved
Ark 2 isnt coming out in years (we all know that) and the communitys slowly gonna die

[gilded bloom]

So your gonna play ark1, the game with no dev support?

No online servers

[primal fern]

well the Xbox side has its good thing, the whole pack including ark2 is just $50, so that be overal the best bet

[severe crag]

No. When ark 1 goes away in august i'll download the maps and move along to my own cluster.

[glacial scarab]

Wait

[gilded bloom]

Not your DLC’s

[glacial scarab]

I just understood

[severe crag]

Me and my homies will have a private little place.

[fluid pebble]

So is ark ascended going to be cross platform only?

[glacial scarab]

I dont understand

Like ark is gonna be reset or smth?

[vocal marsh]

so let me get this straight, in the ark 2 update, we are not going to lose any ark 1 progress, because we can enter ark 1 and take our stuff to the new ark 2 maps?

[glacial scarab]

Will i have to buy my dlcs again?

[severe crag]

No ark officials going away, replaced by ark 1.5 officials

[primal fern]

yeah.. that bit i missed, thats another $40

basicly, $90 to restart all over ;D

with probably, alot less people

[onyx trail]

so what about the save game or all our stuff we have now..? so we have to start by 0 with the UE5 Ascendant Version?
or we have all dinos etc still there?

[severe crag]

bro's, ark 1.5 is a new game just using the ark 1 stuff. you dont get to take anything.

[glacial scarab]

Will it affect playstation?

[rigid kraken]

Time to send my whole base at the king titan then

[primal fern]

i mean, $90 for Ark2 might sound alot but if its a AAA game, thats a 'normal'ish price and it got proper crossplay, but we talking over 1,5 year away

[fair wyvern]

yes

[severe crag]

Last week of august were all done, 1.5 goes offline, we get the save maps, and move along to where ever you go, maybe you guys buy ark 1.5 🙂

[fathom yacht]

I hope they at least fix all the flying trees in the game.

[gilded bloom]

Let’s be real ark 1 is gonna be dead by the time we even get gameplay for ark2. Theyve ruined a good game

[fair wyvern]

that’s the first thing you want fixed? xd

[severe crag]

ASA will be its own game, ASE will be a retired game for unofficials only.

[glacial scarab]

So i basically spent like 200 eiro (the ONLY convertion company i can use is a big scam) for a dlc with a time limif?

[glossy parrot]

Official Servers: With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will sunset all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved

[primal fern]

Well if u take Guildwars, people sitll play GW1 dispite 2, same goes for Division, but they have just '2' games, now they first split up the playerbase on 1, then hope 2 gonna be anything good

[fair wyvern]

you can continue to play ark but just not on official servers

[bitter socket]

Island & scorched to start? Going back to 2015 boys/girls. Love that backward regression

[glossy parrot]

the funniest thing is that they're gonna use the same server hardware that they are using for ark 1 for that ark 1.5 thingy

[onyx trail]

are they kidding????? so end august they shut down the servers...
we play since 2017 and now we have to see we lose all? what a bullshit is this???

[glacial scarab]

So single player isnt affected?

[fair wyvern]

correct

[glacial scarab]

Alr then i dont care

[gilded bloom]

Never heard of the first game, secondly they pay for a new game. Not 90$ for a version 1.5

[fair wyvern]

had to end eventually

[primal fern]

ooooooh shit.. that i didnt read yet..

[gilded bloom]

It is, losing dev support

[severe crag]

u can download the save maps and reload if you want.

[glossy parrot]

Official Servers: With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will sunset all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved

[severe crag]

which ever number your on

so, im kinda bummed no easter evo

[gaunt fable]

will new servers go up?

[severe crag]

ASA is a new game, so it will go up in the ashes of ASE

[fair wyvern]

you have a regular 2x evo for now

[gaunt fable]

and that’s unreal engine 5

it’s a new game?

[bitter socket]

What a roadmap! TLDR: We need $, you'll give us another $90 to keep playing ark, otherwise you'll play single-player

[severe crag]

Yea

[midnight hazel]

I genuinely can’t believe they were hyping us up for this 💀

[onyx trail]

what a bullshit.. sorry.. but this is a huge ass kick...
we collect and play this game since many years. and now to see to lose all.. we dont care about unofficial..

we worked our asses off to get this collection we have now..

another annoying moment..

what sense make it to play this game now until august comes?? when you will lose all what you make to this date??

[severe crag]

Like, people were crazy to think their going to port all of ark to UE5 for free, i was like 'so where is the other shoe'

[gilded bloom]

Who even works at studio wildcard

[fair wyvern]

don’t forget about unofficial, will still have that

[quick juniper]

The devs are joking right?

[primal fern]

i serious just realise, it will be the end of a nearly 8 year journey..

[sour hearth]

So I guess ark 2 is gonna down in flames

[gilded bloom]

Gotta be an April fools

[bright trellis]

W

[midnight hazel]

Maybe if they’re in europe..

[quaint patio]

Almost lost my only flyer because game decided not to show my dead location. Searched for it long time and finally gave up. End up finding it 3 irl days later when scouting for good replacement for it 😆

[fair wyvern]

xd

[bitter socket]

Unofficial has digressed into a bot fest rampant with admin abuse & purely predatory p2w styles in MOST

[quick juniper]

Seems like wildcard loves to piss of their consumers, my buddy just told me when they update to UE5 they are taking down the official servers and you have to pay yet again for another game. Am I getting this correctly?

[gilded bloom]

I’m UK and it’s not even April fools , wildcard are definitely US , I think west coast so far for them

[tame crest]

So ark offical wipe?

[fair wyvern]

fair, there’s a few gems out there though

[bitter socket]

100%

[quick juniper]

No apparently they are deleting the servers and making you pay for a new game in UE5

[warm patio]

I thought the remake was gonna be a conversion like Fortnite not a whole new game

[tame crest]

What about the saves

[fair wyvern]

plans change

[round surge]

thats what the said originally but ig they changed there minds

[bitter socket]

Need $

[quick juniper]

"Official Servers: With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will sunset all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved"
Sunset means delete

[warm patio]

They can't be serious

[naive arrow]

So on ps4 you have ark without official servers?

[bitter socket]

This isnt the first time WC has done this lol

[midnight hazel]

What is even the point in adding the Rhyniognatha in June if official servers are going down in August? Lmao

[quick juniper]

Yes but we didnt need to pay for a new fucking game

Dupers are gonna have a massive pay day

[gilded bloom]

#wildscam

[manic tapir]

What if it’s all an April fools joke

[flint birch]

it better be

[onyx trail]

then we re done with this game...
for what you play this game now or before all the years.. tried everytime to live with all issues.. lost soo many.. came back everytime and tried again...

but now to see we lose all end of august.. pissing me off..

for what we played this game now so many years?? to see all will lose..?

and start again by 0? to spend again 6 years in this game to have have what we have now??

🤬

[bitter socket]

True, they need $ now. Then they just tried to do dmg control on the busted officials

[quick juniper]

I have concluded the devs do not think before they act they only think after the fact

[fair wyvern]

can still use it in unofficial/single player I suppose

[warm patio]

If it's not I'm gonna be so pissed

[bitter socket]

Everyone in here know we giving them the $90. But lets complain & kick & scream the whole way!

[warm patio]

I agree

[severe crag]

They wiped out all my protection pillars around my base so now i have box tribes built against me.

[midnight hazel]

A huge portion of people will be leaving ark 1 completely though, personally I don’t care much for SP and I feel like unofficial servers are too unreliable

[flint birch]

speak for yourself lmao

i know i wont

[severe crag]

Yea speak for yourself.

[tame crest]

Im so done now too

[broken lance]

wait so in august its gg all my progress and bases

[fair wyvern]

yeah, it’s a strange decision, I agree

[tame crest]

The Infos are bullshit from ark. More confusing

[bitter socket]

We'll see. No game scratch that ark itch like ark. We all here complaini g because we addicts lol

[severe crag]

@broken lance you can load the save and play single player

[primal fern]

i dont mind paying $90 again, i got money, but the hunderds of people i met and play with, may not. Its just stupid the continuation is merely based on your financial situation

[gilded spruce]

ark money evolved

[broken lance]

im talking about 1x pvp

we just lose everything

[warm patio]

God of war scratched it for me for a while

[quick juniper]

I dont care if they update to UE5, I dont care if they wipe all servers what I care about is the fact they are making their players PAY yet again this game with all dlcs included is expensive enough. People who currently have ark should just people able to update to UE5

[broken lance]

we lose all servers all chars all bases

[gilded bloom]

#wildscam

[broken lance]

ong

[fiery fox]

@heavy cedar If this an april fools joke 100% the best april fools ever. Although I would say this would be epic for the game all together

[flint birch]

there are enough other good games out there that dont try to squeeze as much money out of me as they can lmao

[quick juniper]

Ark: Duping Evolved, Ark: Money Evolved, Ark: Aimbot Evolved

[broken lance]

no way i gotta pay another 70 when ark 2s coming out

so brain rot

its so annoying

[tame crest]

Im done with you or a april fool?????????

1.04 April April

[onyx trail]

yea. we re fine too to pay some money to get the UE5 Extra.. but not with losing all what we have now..

when they rly do this.
i cannot see the point why we play this game now anymore.. for what? all will be gone in august..

have a reaper collection of 1000+ different event reapers...
have a phoenix collection of 300+ different event Phoenixe..

the mass of dinos we shared and breeded all the years...

all gone?? no way..

[midnight hazel]

I’ll never be giving wildcard a damn dime, that’s for sure. I’ll play ark 2 if it ever comes out because it’ll be free on game pass (so they claimed at least) but I’m not paying for anything. It’s just not worth it for me

[primal fern]

Totaly with you bro, i am on a single server since day 250.. its over 23k now, that ends..

[foggy scaffold]

Ok, sorry if I'm late for the conversation, are you saying that they are going to re-charge for all the maps and DLCs after the base game releases in August?

[gilded bloom]

Ok post the April fools announcement!

[severe crag]

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

[broken lance]

all pvp offcial servers getting wiped is so depressing also losing all my lvls for my chartoir

[warm patio]

Yea

[severe crag]

at least their giving us the save files, they could have been like, its shutting down and you can buy the new one.

[broken lance]

its april fools joke hopefully

[tranquil night]

fresh servers gonna be far more fun esp without the dlc maps

[flint birch]

yep.. time to play official pvp in single payer..

[foggy scaffold]

I mean the thought of restarting is actually exciting to me at least, but having to pay for maps we already paid for seems a bit shady. I'd assume that's a joke, although they are reworking the entirety of the official maps so... who knows? 😄

[mint fossil]

Yea agree

[severe crag]

So friends, we spent 7+ years being beta testers and paid all that money to help them make a new game also called ark and pay again.

[onyx trail]

who cares about this save files??? to play on unofficial or singleplayer??? where all people can cheat their stuff in seconds.. ??

[broken lance]

not worth losing 205 lvl charter

[severe crag]

you can cheat if you want to, its your game

[tranquil night]

pvp is so dead man fresh wipe is the best thing to happen

[flint birch]

but not if they shut it down in half a year xD

[broken lance]

yea i agree but i really want to keep my char

[severe crag]

pvp is like, i enjoy building thatch castles and rebuilding them daily

[primal fern]

i serious hope they do a 180 about the no-migration, that will serious be the godslap that wrecks the game

[broken lance]

my char is 205 man

[broken lance]

well no bec you need people and turrets lol

[onyx trail]

tell me the sense of the save game???

its absolutly bs... thats why we play official.. to know what we have and for what we worked on..

singleplayer or unofficial make some commands and have the same stuff in minutes. where we worked years for it

[warm patio]

I'm not gonna rebuy it

[flint birch]

also all the problems official has atm will still be there.. just no capped lines anymore

[sour hearth]

This stunt just killed ark 2

[foggy scaffold]

A fresh wipe of all official servers would be a God send though when you think about it. Officials are literally overpopulated to the point that you can't even fly around on certain maps without running face first into a giant monstrosity of a base 😄

[tame crest]

I think this is a shity April fool so calm dowm

[severe crag]

@foggy scaffold I mentioned earlier today that the updated ark would include a wipe but i was called nuts.

[broken lance]

theres legit 2 spots on a center thats buildable how are you flying into turrets

[mortal raft]

some chibis have requirements to wear it. like the one you have. you need to purchase the dlc in the description to wear it. if you just want ta chibi to level up the 5 levels then just use a normal one .^^

[surreal hill]

a freah wipe is good. but for more money, fuck off

[gilded bloom]

@viral shore I’m giving it 30 minutes before irreversible damage is done, make the April fools announcement

[flint birch]

i hope its april fools.. but its not even april 1st in america yet

[mint fossil]

People are so butthurt over this xD

[surreal hill]

he won't answer he a corpo sissy boy now

[tame crest]

Let's hope or we all meet by hq of ark next time hehe

[warm patio]

Honestly,

[broken lance]

this is so dumb half the people i know is quitting the game bec there progress is getting wiped in 4 months so if they are joking its so dumb

[untold urchin]

its almost like we have been scammed at every turn with delays back to back

[surreal hill]

first time meme

[primal fern]

rushers will have that up and running in days, weeks at best, you are delusional to think it be 'nice and happy'. Go look at Lost island, Fjordur, within months its giga-structured built

[foggy scaffold]

I'm down with supporting the studio by forking over a few more bucks, but if it isn't a joke, I dunno how I'll feel about it when the DLCs hit and they want ungodly amounts for em. If they did like $9.99 DLCs packs, I'd be ok with that. lol

[quick juniper]

Knowing wildcard this isnt an april fools joke they actually gonna make us pay for everything

[warm patio]

Probably

[gilded bloom]

Normally when wildcard put bad news there’s a 70/30 split with the 30% trying to see the good side - I’m seeing a 95/5 split here. Not long until damage is done to wildcard

[karmic prawn]

where did they announce all of this

[primal fern]

check announcements

[mint fossil]

Been many years.. time for new. sure paying for it again its annoying but rather do that for fresh wipe. then play with all the insiders meshers and shit. hopeful they fix most

[flint birch]

you mean just like they fixed meshing like 100 times already? xD

[surreal hill]

new game, new bugs

[mint fossil]

We will see what happen

[flint birch]

this time it'll actually be fixed lmao

[rapid hill]

free no more ark refreshing yay

[flint birch]

also gl fixing insiding

[mint fossil]

Ban insiders xD fix

[surreal hill]

ban VPNs

[mint fossil]

true

[broken lance]

its gg for all of ark 1 if this legit

[surreal hill]

yep

[flint birch]

again.. gl with that xD

[mint fossil]

U guys still gona play ark xD hahaha

[broken lance]

pvp and pve is all quitting

[flint birch]

lol no

[mint fossil]

You allways come back 😛

[broken lance]

no point in wasting the time if its gone in 4 months

[bleak basin]

@tall minnow nice cash grab with the remastered version forcing us to pay again.

[surreal hill]

literally forcing our hand

you wanna play, well then pay

[mint fossil]

I will 🙂

[bleak basin]

Nah just selling the same game twice

[surreal hill]

hey WC new gaming strat, Pay to play

[wispy ore]

WC why not sell the servers to someone who actually cares about the community 🤔

[midnight hazel]

The way they said earlier this year that the UE5 remaster would be free lololol

[wispy ore]

Been playing since 2015, I won't be coming back

[flint birch]

++

[wispy ore]

Don't matter if it's free, do you think the DLCs will be free 🤣

[broken lance]

WC nobody in your community wants this game update if you cant bring things to the new game then no dont do it nobody wants to lose all they have

[flint birch]

thats the funny part.. they claimed it will be free but now they announced it will be 40$ + another 40$ for the DLCs

[vestal summit]

I hope this is an april fool's joke but I'm scared cause this is wildcard were talking about

[wispy ore]

If they ever release a game

[midnight hazel]

It does matter because I’m not paying for shit

Why should I pay for a remaster of the game I already own and will have to restart completely? Lmao

[flint birch]

actually a good point.. knowing wildcard they might delay the ark port for a few years lmao

[broken lance]

yippe guys in 4 months all my stuff will be gone then i pay another 90$ for it to be gone again in a year

wqoowowow

[wispy ore]

Exaclty i bought Ark1 twice for 2 computers. With all DLCs I will not stand behind this company who treats its people like trash and throws us out like garbage

[midnight hazel]

ESPECIALLY when the creators of the game promised it’d be free??

[tiny thistle]

Who is paying 80$ for some new shit?

[grim gull]

Back to the island boyz! Let’s get it!

[cunning charm]

As a reward for your loyalty courtesy of WC

[flint birch]

its not even new shit

[onyx trail]

its the first time now. where i dont have the power to start ark..

for what they make an evo event???

or next week a color evo event?? when all what you playing for. is gone in some month???

[tranquil night]

so will official servers be crossplay?

[wispy ore]

I doubt they're will be any Ark play 😂
More than likely if they can figure it out

[primal fern]

they already were xobx/windows and steam/epic, but the new ascended will be all-out cross

[flint birch]

they might have to make them crossplay cuz otherwise 99% of the servers will be empty 👀

[primal fern]

and they surely have to, because they will be cutting their community at least in half by august

[tranquil night]

yeah but pc game wasnt crossplay, rip console players on pvp

[lofty solstice]

hang on is survival ascended crossplay so i can play with my friends although i have steam and they have xbox on servers?

[wispy ore]

As most discord and owners we know the community is gonna be hurt by WCs discussion 😔

[primal fern]

i mean, give people a choice: Play current ark till ark2, or shutdown in august, rebuy the game, play a year and then go ark2... i know majority of the choice here

[dire nacelle]

Do we know if the new ark1 going to on gamepass?

[severe crag]

You know the best part of the whole thing is.

[warm patio]

What

[wispy ore]

I can finally go back to real life

[severe crag]

Now they have no excuse for piss poor anything.

[primal fern]

And that hurts me more, i seen the rise of the discords, the communities, the dedication..

[cedar palm]

If the official servers will be down by the end of August, why there's no any coloured dinos yet? Atleast let us get some fun for little time left

[severe crag]

They have all this time to fix issues in game that have been plaguing us since forever.

Pillar fields should be non existent

[wispy ore]

I know as a discord Admin personally 😇

[onyx trail]

what you want colored dinos yet?? what the sense to spend hours to tame - breed and then they re gone..?

[primal fern]

they cant, their original dev team probably not even around anymore, its Division2 same story

[static parrot]

@viral shore is this an #APRIL FOOLS (we hope)

[wispy ore]

We give so much and WC don't care

[lofty solstice]

guys i dont think they shutting down normal ark

[static parrot]

april fools?

[wispy ore]

Hey glad to see you here

[static parrot]

its written.

[grim forum]

aint no way they're charging more money just for unreal engine 5 ark

[lofty solstice]

exactly

[fair wyvern]

the ue5 version is in a bundle with ark2

[warm patio]

They are. They couldn't be like Fortnite and make it a transfer over to the engine, instead they have to make it a whole new game

[lofty solstice]

cause if they shut down ark 1 servers then the only servers active will be island cause we dont get the unreal engine 5 DLC's fo a while

[bleak basin]

yeah and pay again for every dlc lmao

[gilded bloom]

*dlcs separate purchase

[grim forum]

that would be hella fun tho

imagine new official servers with the old maps :O

[fair wyvern]

oh I know, very strange decision

[primal fern]

Buy DLC, run to Gen2, pillar the entire map, troll big time

[bitter socket]

Why was there no mention of anticheat in that roadmap is my question.... pvp is 90% botters & they tryna sell me a xbox vs pc game?

[warm patio]

Complex minded is online so I guarantee he's reading these

[main marlin]

That's one way how to lose 95% of player base and losing everyone's interest in Ark and Ark2. Will see if April fools. Maybe they just testing our reaction to make the final decision, the perfect day to test as they can say "April fools"

[clever gorge]

It's not april yet

[grim forum]

well it looks like the dlcs are getting released a few months after each one

[gilded bloom]

Complex I can help you look for new jobs when wildcard go bankrupt , only a matter of weeks so I’d get searching now

[primal fern]

i rather see a guy giving bleach to a blind guy saying it cures his blindness as a more funny april joke

[main marlin]

Depends on your location, in Europe it's past midnight

[clever gorge]

true but they reside in the US

[warm patio]

Wildcard is American so they'd be running off their time

[primal fern]

Same story apply to starter maps, just pillar the shit out of it, nothing will change, or be even worse

[clever gorge]

I'm down for wiped officials tho

[gilded bloom]

I like how usually there’s a 30% tryna see the good side , now it’s a 2% 💀

[bitter socket]

The ark memes tomorrow are gonna be AWESOME!

[main marlin]

I mean, I'm definitely quitting if my 3 years of progress is gone, good riddance lol

[fair gust]

... Oh no. So they're shutting down official servers? No option to download data and play offline?

[warm patio]

They should've done a Fortnite and just converted it to UE5 instead of just making a whole new game

[fair gust]

Exactly what I said...

[slate widget]

Fortnite has always been a free game and they made UE5 lol

[little plank]

question is ark survival ascended, going to cost money?

[warm patio]

Thanks for agreeing

[gilded bloom]

They gotta take ark 1 off the stores now. Can’t be selling a game they are closing down

[old frost]

and normal one i cant find anywhere except events?

[warm patio]

True but they didn't convert to it until like 3 years after UE5 released

[little plank]

my biggest fear is that im going to have to pay money for the upgrade

even though i own ark

[slate widget]

I agree it should be free or cheaper for people who already own ark.

[warm patio]

Yes

[gilded spruce]

yes u have to pay money again

[little plank]

bruh

what

[warm patio]

Yep it sucks

[gilded bloom]

And rebuy dlcs

[mortal raft]

do you play on pc?

[old frost]

yes

[little plank]

so i have to spend 100$ plus again for all the dlcs again

[gilded spruce]

yup

[warm patio]

Yeah

[little plank]

mfw

[slate widget]

UE5 came out last year

[little plank]

triple A's in a nutshell

[wispy ore]

WC i give you a 1 out of 10 for customer service. Good job on screwing your whole community 👏

[gilded bloom]

Wildcard aren’t a triple A but yeah!

[warm patio]

I thought it came out in 2020?

[mortal raft]

epicgames or steam?^^ pve or pvp? i ask because i could give you one if you want

[winged summit]

bruh

[little plank]

seems like it

[slate widget]

Was announced then I believe.

[warm patio]

Oh

[gilded bloom]

Honestly 😂

[little plank]

aside from that, the fact this isn't a free upgrade is an outrage man

[old frost]

steam, pvp, beginners server

[warm patio]

Yeah

[slate widget]

Seems it was ea in 2021 tho.

[little plank]

someone make a petition please

[warm patio]

Ah. Makes sense

[minor kayak]

I hope it performs better than Ark

[little plank]

im not actually about to sink another 150$ plus for the same game twice

[fair gust]

The upgrade and ark 2 preorder is bundled at 49 dollars on aug 2023

[little plank]

its promised too

[little plank]

yes i doubt that includes the dlcs tho

[warm patio]

Just till the moist critical video comes out lol if he sees this and decides to cover

[full badge]

Kind of hoping the official server shut down is a prank. We're talking years of time spent on this game through all of its bugs and glitches.
At the same time, kind of hoping it is true, just a shame that the supposed "free" upgrades we were supposedly getting are now to be locked behind a paywall along with a game people might be not even have the intention to buy.
Also, my rhinos are still nerfed and I crave the sweet release of slamming a horn into an ankle and making a giga line explode in fire.

[mortal raft]

ah sh*t... i play pve :/ i guess i cant give you one then. chibis are from events

[little plank]

it probably isn't knowing wildcard to be honest, they will shut down those servers probably because snail games doesn't want to keep them up

and knowing the CEO of the company is basically a tyrant

snail games*

[mortal raft]

the only way to get a chibi is from an event, when you buy the genesis dlcs

[silent matrix]

@viral shore @tall minnow
not the reaction you wished for, right? 😝

[mint fossil]

ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended AND ARK 2 and will be priced at $49.99.

[fair gust]

If they needed the cash flow, they can do the hexagons bundles and then sell skins especially for TSOF

[little plank]

i mean as long as the respawn bundle is available for that price im fine with that

[warm patio]

Complex minded is online so he's definitely reading all these

[little plank]

its just the dlcs that is the main killer

the added costs

[mint fossil]

Seems like get remake and ark 2 for that price

[little plank]

^^

[minor kayak]

It is a bit cheeky to charge for the DLC again tbh

[little plank]

FR

FAX

[main marlin]

I mean, I've always wanted to quit Ark, so this would be perfect ❤️

[mint fossil]

Its a choice for us all if want to buy it xD nobody forceing

[minor kayak]

Especially if there is no discount to those who bought the original game

[little plank]

i love this game franchise so much, the fact this is happening is batshit crazy

[warm patio]

The UE5 update should have been a free update for ark 1 not a whole new game

[ember oar]

So what is exactly happening is it a different game or is it same game and will official servers stay or be put on unreal 5?? Someone know lmao

[minor kayak]

Well, they kinda are if they are shutting all the old servers

[warm patio]

Different gams

[little plank]

paid

[mint fossil]

Old servers was mess tho

[ember oar]

So are they gonna be closing official servers?

[little plank]

its funny the Counterstrike 2 feels like a new game, & its legit free. UE5 for ark isn't a free upgrade smh smh

[minor kayak]

Doesn't matter, you're effectively locking people out of playing certain maps on servers again unless they rebuy the DLC they already paid £20 for

[bitter socket]

Why island & scorched? Like who asked for that?

[minor kayak]

Like, if they just included all maps in the base price no one would have an issue

[little plank]

DUDE

[silent matrix]

Time to request a refund to Microsoft for ark I, gonna need it

[gilded spruce]

i dont mind the wipe but like why do we have to rebuy everything

[flint birch]

and the new servers will be a mess too

[ember oar]

.

[little plank]

EXACTLY, or at least give prior owners a discount christ

[mint fossil]

Only one why find that out 😉

[little plank]

i don't wanna spend 200$ AGAIN

[gilded spruce]

they are closing official servers on old ark yes

[silent matrix]

Reach out to Microsoft

[little plank]

tf they gonna do

[silent matrix]

Give them a hard enough time, and they’ll refund

[warm patio]

Yeah, and/or if they just made it a free update to Ark 1 instead of a whole new game

[little plank]

i own it on steam m8, i've had this game since 2015

[silent matrix]

You just gotta move up the chain of command

[little plank]

ive been following it since alpha

[silent matrix]

Ahh okay, can’t help u with steam

[little plank]

im so hurt by what they are doing

[warm patio]

I'm so pissed

[little plank]

once they were bought out by snail games thats when all this shit went downhill IMO

[minor kayak]

Also it's a "hey rebuy our game and all the DLC and next year do it again for Ark 2 woo!"

[little plank]

DUDE FR

preach

[mint fossil]

ARK Respawned Bundle. This bundle includes ownership of both ARK: Survival Ascended AND ARK 2 and will be priced at $49.99. u get both xD

[warm patio]

Yep pretty much

[limber fjord]

Math skill issue 💀(50+20+20 isnt 200)

[wheat walrus]

nah Ark 2 2027 at the earliest

[little plank]

doesn't mean shit if it doesnt include the DLCS

[minor kayak]

$90 all in when you factor the DLC

[little plank]

we legit dont know

[broken lance]

ark survival devolved
ark survival devolved
ark survival devolved
ark survival devolved
ark survival devolved

[flint birch]

cool.. so i get to pay 50$ for a game i already own + a game i wont be able to play for at least another 1.5 years.. nice

[mint fossil]

Dont buy it then? if that such problem

[little plank]

yep

[warm patio]

Uh huh

[limber fjord]

It include ark 2 + remaster

[little plank]

yes but does the remaster come with the dlcs?

[minor kayak]

Ok mate, keep defending lame business practicies

[silent matrix]

I think this calls for a protest

[little plank]

thats what people are upset about mainly me

[broken lance]

just cuz you want to be dumb with you money dont mean 99% of us do

[minor kayak]

Like Ark doesn't even need a remaster, it needs a massive performance optimisation. They're just doing this to get more money

[warm patio]

He's trying really hard to defend wildcard

[flint birch]

and who's to say wildcard doesnt release a community crunch in late 2024 that says 'sorry, ark2 in 2026, here's some concept art.. also buy ark again'

[twin frigate]

Dear money bags players, we're shutting down that game you've bought. Pay full price again if you want to continue playing 😈

[mint fossil]

Dont give shit about wildcard. i just want to enjoy ark

[little plank]

its a good deal, don't get me wrong. But if it doesn't include the games dlcs im not gonna pay like another 90$ for the dlcs i already own man

[gilded spruce]

the above is a consumer that buys into corruption

[old frost]

ah, sad, thank you for answer

[gilded bloom]

Guys instead of complaining let’s all come together and help complex look for a new job , after all it can’t be much longer until wildcard to bankrupt

[twin frigate]

Inb4 in two more months it's subscription-based game

[limber fjord]

They will make remaster of remaster

[gilded spruce]

the sad part is we all complain here but we will buy the game regardless of how much we have to pay

[twin frigate]

So cash keeps rolling in monthly from all players

[little plank]

i mean they've done delays before

[silent matrix]

Nah, I won’t

[twin frigate]

🤑

[little plank]

back when abberation was initially supposed to come out

[silent matrix]

I’m not repaying for everything I bought on ark 1 including base game

[bitter socket]

GOTYish edition gold bundle $200

[little plank]

it got delayed

[minor kayak]

Nah have other games I can play without rebuying 😂

Ones that actually have optimisation. Something wildcard never did

[silent matrix]

Ark: Survival Devolved

[native tiger]

Im not believing anything until I see a post in 6-12 hours confirming this is or isnt an april fools joke

[warm patio]

Ark definitely won't be game of the year

[little plank]

i just don't understand the thought process behind this

[minor kayak]

Now they suddenly have done the optimisation and they want to recharge us all again 😂

[little plank]

like why is the remaster not a free update

[twin frigate]

It's very simple

[little plank]

cs2 is

[mortal raft]

youre welcome 🙂

[little plank]

and its legit a new game

[mint fossil]

Rebought skyrim 3 times hahaha

[little plank]

seems like

[twin frigate]

You can do a thing for free, or you can make people pay for it

Like a lot

Free money, eh? You're doing anyway, so...

[little plank]

i mean dude they've made so much off of ark already, but obviously not enough

[twin frigate]

And to encourage them kill the previous product

[minor kayak]

Maybe Microsoft cut the purse strings for Ark 2 cause it was taking so long 😂

[silent matrix]

Rip Ark

[little plank]

sadly maybe

[elfin wing]

rip ark

[minor kayak]

Hell Ark was supposed to get DLSS, they even announced it with Nvidia, and they never implemented that either

[onyx trail]

when its not a joke.. we re done.. we go and cryo all tomorrow.. for us make it no sense to go and play anymore this game..

for what this evo event with breeding now??

rip the asses off to get anything new..
farming by x2 now

and see how nice it will be lost in august..??

cannot see the point anymore to start this game..

[twin frigate]

Did they tho? I sure hope they AT LEAST fixed lag issues, but this is not a realistic expectation

[silent matrix]

They said it would be done this year and yet all they can show for that is concept art

[minor kayak]

They claim they did in the post at least 😂

[twin frigate]

All those years and game lags like hell (in end-game scenarios anyway) and meshing still a thing

[flint birch]

tbf looking at the last few updates it seems like wildcard wanted to kill this game for a while now.. at least the pvp side of it

[twin frigate]

Which they've claimed before that they've fixed

[little plank]

Its funny because they aren't even a Triple A studio, yet some of their decisions are so profoundly bad it exacerbates everyone somehow

[twin frigate]

Iirc on several occasions even

[silent matrix]

I hate Ark so much I wish it would just shut up-
Anyway I'm gonna play Ark, cya

[little plank]

like makes them look like EA, or Activision

[minor kayak]

Honestly, Wildcard need to take some lessons from Rust on how to develop a survival game. It has a terrible community but those devs know what their game needs and improve it

[twin frigate]

Yep, that's 100% EA kind of move

Not even a new game

Old one with some QoL which, to be honest, had to be in the original

[little plank]

doesn't really matter at the end of the day, because its not really wildcards choice in the end. It's snailgames and their CEO is a borderline tyrant & pretty much harrasses everyone in the company, even the actual wildcard employees.

[carmine talon]

Who wants boss alpha valguero small tribe

[gaunt swan]

You guys realize you’re paying for ark2 and the remaster is free you’re basically just paying for the DLC

[silent matrix]

Hey everyone starting a law suit for emotional damage come join

7 years gone lets forum together

[copper bear]

what if i DGAF about ark 2?

[little plank]

People are upset at the fact if the remaster will include all of the dlcs prior to it or not like se, abberation, extinction, genesis & so on.

[gaunt swan]

Then wait and they’ll be sold separately

[flint birch]

cant wait to buy a game that wont be released for at least another year and a half.. yay..

[minor kayak]

Pretty much every game remaster has all the content in the base price of the game being remastered 😂

[silent matrix]

Real

[twin frigate]

You guys realize you’re paying for ark2 and the remaster and all of the already released DLCs and anything else WIldCard publishes

[warm patio]

Ark 2 and ark 1 remaster is gonna be more controversial than atomic heart

[gaunt swan]

You’ll also get to play it a month early

[copper bear]

so it ISN'T free 😉

[flint birch]

what does that even mean if it doesnt have a release date yet

[little plank]

we don't know if the remaster WILL include the dlcs, i don't think theyve stated anything yet

unless they have

[minor kayak]

It doesn't. You pay for them seperately

[flint birch]

i'll get to play it eventually.. maybe in late 2024 if im lucky.. lmao

[twin frigate]

They did if I read it right

[minor kayak]

It only includes the Island, and the non-paid free maps

[little plank]

exactly

[gilded mango]

We also recognize that ARK 2 has some pretty significant design changes from the original game, which may not make it as appealing to everyone (looking at you, Souls-like combat, primitive-only weaponry, and strict third-person mechanics – and an overall “very serious” tone), which is why we feel it is essential to provide players with a fully next-gen version of the original experience to ensure that fans can continue to enjoy the ARK they know for years to come.

I hope this is an april fool. I want PvP in Ark 2 and dont want a cheap remake with the same maps/creatures and a player base of 20 players. Then dont call Ark 2, make ASA the new Ark 2. And calls the other one Vins Roleplay PvE Souls Adventures...

[twin frigate]

DLCs not even included in the remaster

[little plank]

which is stupid

[sullen flare]

Can wc put up a suggestion text channel for ark 1.5?

[silent matrix]

they are for steam

[twin frigate]

In a sense that they'll come later

[silent matrix]

not ps5

[little plank]

they better be like 5$

[twin frigate]

And purchased separately

[little plank]

not a whole ass 30$ for one

[minor kayak]

If they charged the $50 and gave the DLC maps free later, that'd be more acceptable tbh

[little plank]

it would

[silent matrix]

how about free for us who BOUGHT ALL DLC for ark 1

[gaunt swan]

It is if you buy the respawn edition

[carmine mountain]

i just hope its an april fools joke lol.

[little plank]

thats something i can get down with, or at least give the people who bought the games prior plus the dlc at a discounted price

[minor kayak]

Or at least free DLC or a massive discount haha

[little plank]

YES

^^^

[copper bear]

Fact is, you can't get it without buying something else.... so it isn't free. Try and spin it however you want, still not free if I can't get it without spending money.

[little plank]

thats legit anything you will every own
