ark-survival-ascended

[deft urchin]

was more of a joke than anything, but that makes sense

[tough yarrow]

Oh sorry XD

[solemn sundial]

Anyone know if asa has cryopods

[deft urchin]

it will eventually, we don't know if it will be at launch or not

[tough yarrow]

We will not know until the FAQ releases in a few days/weeks

[solemn sage]

is it really replaced though? I know creatures like the bulbdog it says stuff like oxygen is recharge rate but it still affects oxygen capacity.

[tough yarrow]

It's replaced. Charge pets don't have any oxygen either

[solemn sundial]

Oki ty

[bronze echo]

Say that to my feathers lights in shadow cave

[solemn sage]

they have oxygen, trust me, as a guy who lost a bulbdog to having it on my shoulder while swimming i'd know. I've also ran controlled tests an the number is definetely oxygen.

[tough yarrow]

They're not supposed to have oxygen at all, considering there is no stat, so no idea.

[solemn sage]

the symbol is still the oxygen symbol too

[bronze echo]

Its just a shared stat

[solemn sage]

yeah

it's recharge and O2

[tough yarrow]

Probably just overlooked, as other creatures, like stryders, have a replaced oxygen stat and do not drown.

[solemn sage]

would be nice to have a light pet that doesn't drown though

we got the dog, the one that flies, and the little unicorn goat thing

and maybe something else idk

[tough yarrow]

Glowtail

[bronze echo]

But oxy on a stydr affects swim speed

[deft urchin]

lol, i always looked at it as a tiny deer

[solemn sage]

maybe, It's been a LONG time since I've played abb, and I haven't seen any while in the abb biome on val yet

[tough yarrow]

It's still not an oxygen stat, it can't drown XD it's probably just the UE4 coding.

[solemn sage]

I just remember it being a unicorn goat thing, and I have kinda mid memory.

[tough yarrow]

It's a mini goat

[deft urchin]

oh i'm sure it is, i just always thought it looked like a deer

[tough yarrow]

[solemn sage]

I keep getting canteens from drops, kinda useful since I haven't bothered to setup a fabricator yet lmao

count rn is 4

[deft urchin]

will be good if they managed to rework some of that in the code cleanup to actualy function properly

[tough yarrow]

Mhmm

[solemn sage]

what does that one look like

[deft urchin]

there is a lot of cruft and tech debt to go through though, so, who knows

[tough yarrow]

[solemn sage]

whops I right clicked to tab back into ark... I'm on a fire wyvern and standing in front of my stego

interesting

[thorny temple]

: )

[deft urchin]

mmmm... BBQ

[solemn sage]

also finally found another quetzal after the last one, well, died.

[solemn sage]

thankfully it's like lvl 256 or something so it's just a little toasty, maybe melted ig since it's a tek stego

[deft urchin]

uhg, gonna have to go and relearn how to tame a quetz without a griffin lol, been a looooong time since i've had to do that

[solemn sage]

Well if the map you're on has wyverns they work pretty well, and if it doesn't use a tapejara and whistle commands while in the front seat

If I had an ice wyvern with good stamina I'd use that but the one I have uses way too much and just doesn't work well

[deft urchin]

yeah, i remember, just haven't had too in a while (was thinking for the island on ASA launch)

[solemn sage]

and tapejara is kinda easy to tame so it's not that bad

[deft urchin]

yeah

[solemn sage]

but wyverns are so much easier

[deft urchin]

won't be wyverns in ASA for a while

well, December anyway

[solemn sage]

kinda sucks yeah

I love wyverns

[deft urchin]

they trivialized a lot of things

[solemn sage]

I quite literally just fell off lmao

[deft urchin]

lol

well, they didn't trivialize falling damage 😄

[solemn sage]

I was truna tame a quetzal

[tiny bronze]

help me someone, so me and my friend wanna play a non dedicated server, but the problem is i am on epic games and he is on steam, how do we play?

help me this is very very annoying

[solemn sage]

Honestly no clue, the only solution I can think of is make a dedicated server hosted on your pc or your friends pc, then boot it up whenever you want to play, but I have no clue how to do any of that or if it will work.

the only thing stopping my quetzal from being mauled to death right now is 1) my self control to not kill it, and 2) the cliff between the valley of absolute carnage below us

[prisma sand]

You can’t. Has to be dedicated.

[solemn sage]

that cliff can be walked up by dinos....

that daenodon just gave me a mini panic attack

[tough yarrow]

Follow this guide-
#unofficial-setup-help message

[rapid hornet]

Hi, So I have this problem where whenever I change my Ark Singleplayer settings and then play, after I leave Ark it just resets to some old settings.

[lusty portal]

What would y’all recommend bringing to the dinopithecus fight on lost island?

Also it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten this far can flyers enter boss fights?

[viscid citrus]

No, I didn't download any modification on the server.

I've been trying to join for 3 days, but I can't because of this problem.

[balmy abyss]

how where you able to paint specific color regions of a dino again? I see them but they are all grayed out

[void dove]

Only Skins and I think Tek creatures have paint regions

[tough yarrow]

Yep dinos gotta be freehand painted

[surreal garden]

SOMEONE HELP! so, i got the mod of auto engrams and it game me engrams that are like on scorched earth when im on the island, is there a way i can make so i "unlearn" those ones and only have the the island ones?

[tough yarrow]

Not with that mod, no.

[frosty cargo]

When does asa release

[void dove]

End of October

[frosty cargo]

Thanks

[glacial ermine]

im ready for it

[bleak rain]

Not confirmed. My guess 2024 January

[chilly scarab]

When will ASA be available for pre-order on Steam?

[void dove]

Devs have said multiple times over the past few weeks in chat that they're still on target for an October release

[craggy condor]

hello

is someone here

[void dove]

Nope, dead chat ☠️

[chilly trout]

From what iv heard there is no pre-orders.

[wet mantle]

no pre order

[past sentinel]

October release is EA so no pre-orders

[autumn kelp]

@heavy cedar any comment on whether OC small tribes servers will make an appearance on ASA

[tame whale]

it is confirmed for end of october

[past sentinel]

Clearly you have been oblivious to the 4 Community Crunches Wildcard has done, the most recent you can see and find quickly in #announcements for the mod preview which directly states "End of October".

[outer quail]

theres a xbox plan for tmr for the closing of offis servers? like, servers where everyone will join in or atleast mostly ppl chillin-

[buoyant escarp]

I’m assuming ASA won’t be on ps4?

[void dove]

Correct, next gen consoles

[outer quail]

yea, series, ps5

[buoyant escarp]

Damn

[silent iris]

Best way to get flak bps on the island?

[buoyant escarp]

Underwater drops prolly

I’ve gotten a few good flaks from farming drops in one of the underwater caves, I forgot the name because it’s been years but if you look up on yt I’m sure it’ll show

[silent iris]

Mmm thx

[proud pecan]

Will asa be harder to run or easier because the fps i’m getting in ark rn is fine but I would like more

[silent matrix]

Does anyone know when the next Ark comes out?

The asa

[outer quail]

october

not confirmed date yet but it seems to be comming out on october

[silent matrix]

Waiting for December offers sheeesh

[outer quail]

it sopussed to be on $40 in release as a offer of it launching and later going $45 idk

[silent matrix]

Maybe

I dont have money right now, and idk in october

[past sentinel]

It already on an offer in October as it going to be $39.99 then, and it will later be $45 after EA.

[echo path]

Paying for the game twice is ridiculous

[sharp mountain]

It's a separate game technically 🤓

[echo path]

Same game lol

[sudden rock]

Not only that but 90% of us have well gotten our moneys worth, I howl at these kids with 10k hours into a 40$ game and complaining about shelling out another 40$

[sharp mountain]

After 10k hrs of officials
I can say with certainty
I would not pay 40$ again for that experience

[outer quail]

eh, i will pay $40 for that experience again, it was fun

[buoyant escarp]

I’m on ps4 playing singleplayer, I was just wondering if I’m able to put a value that exceeds the maximum for Quality of loot drops?

[sterile robin]

2 days till the end of ark survival evolved official

[sterile robin]

Oh for sure, I played ark when it first came out and bought all the dlcs. Made many friends along the way and lost as many as made. I owuld pay $60 to play the game again with a level playing field.

[outer quail]

1

[sterile robin]

I thought it stopped the 30th?

[outer quail]

Comunity C. 380 have the time when they going to stop

[sterile robin]

oh gotcha

[outer quail]

fr, besiding i got my old tribe back and most of them ready to go to asa

[sterile robin]

yea, that is what has me the most excited about it

[terse basin]

how do i see when beginners wipe

[past sentinel]

If you look at the most recent CC for the creature vote it also tells the time official goes down

[void dove]

But you still played for 10k hours 🤔

[sharp mountain]

Yes, and now having said experience

I know I wouldn't Wana spend money again for it

Cause official pvp sucks

[jaunty nova]

What would u think is the most annoying creature in your opinion

[sterile robin]

the small pelican thingy and trodons

[meager glen]

Ravager

[jaunty nova]

Oh the ichthy bird

[jaunty nova]

Never heard of em

Or saw em

[sterile robin]

yea that bastard, eat 100 stack of narcotics and does not sleep bullshit

[jaunty nova]

Bro literally stole 40 cooked meat i just cooked

He didn’t see his family that day

[sterile robin]

lol

[jaunty nova]

Literally after u eat 1 u almost fall asleep bro eats 100 and is still eating more like bro

[sterile robin]

yea

[midnight hazel]

what time was it on saturday when official servers shut off?

[merry crag]

Trodden, jellyfish, microraptor

[grim lichen]

I just realized if only the island is gonna be available for relise how do we raise baby dinos without a meawing are we gonna have to hand feed them

[outer quail]

micro, ichtyornis, pegomastax and jelly

[jaunty nova]

Probably

[bleak rain]

Only because they say, they aim to release in October doesn’t mean they will. I’ve been playing since years and wildcard always delays everything

[tough yarrow]

The most recent community crunch in #announcements has a helpful time converter so you can keep track of it.

[void dove]

Ok, but so far they're on track for an October release. Dunno what else to tell ya

[tame whale]

they have to release it or its going to cost them, due to their contract with marbus

[ornate orchid]

dang, I'm looking throught the recruitment chat and none of the posts have any replies

[merry crag]

Pass. Surely as a QOL upgrade we get cryo

[tame whale]

hopefully not

[tough yarrow]

Because replies are disabled. You need to dm others or create your own post.

[ornate orchid]

odd, I'd have thought that for group requests it would be good to see if people have had luck joining

[outer quail]

nah

[tough yarrow]

Easier for moderation since it is all 3 platforms and 2 games condensed into one forum.

[tough yarrow]

We won't know until the FAQ releases

[ornate orchid]

fair I guess. though since they're split up into roles anyway, why not just clone the forum for people with those roles?

[tough yarrow]

This was easiest and has worked quite well. Just dm others or create your own post.

[ornate orchid]

isn't there a trough? I don't get to eggs much lol

[ornate orchid]

also bet, I'm gonna go make a spreadsheet lol

[tame whale]

they dont use trough until juvenlines

[ornate orchid]

ah

[cloud pilot]

U have to breastfeed them

[dense fern]

Reminds me of the video I think dollie sent lol

[past sentinel]

Fresh hatched creatures won't automatically start on a trough you have to keep food on them until they grow up enough to eat from the trough.

[ornate orchid]

oooooh, that makes sense.

[void dove]

10% growth, or Juvenile status is when they start eating from Troughs

[heavy pawn]

or sometimes they decide to not eat and starve still

I like your display name, it appropriate lmao

thank you, i got tired of people asking 50 times a day

if they ask now i just reply with . so they see my name

Rex is alright, the base damage of the boss is a lot high than most others, and it also has percent based damage over time effects. And can dismount your character. It's a real bastard of a boss

I just found a sarco that got killed by 2 carbonemys lmao

and some weird jumping oversized lizard

also, why am I only finding low level dinos? my difficulty is set to max

is it the area I'm in? (Crystal isles southwest) a nearby island has a spino near it

and a few brontos/brachis

[past sentinel]

admincheat DestroyWildDinos

Try that command so it refreshes your wild spawn, probably just left over dinos from before you raised the difficulty

[solemn sage]

why do survivors actually have crazy hops

I don't have a roof on my base rn and I have some large boxes on one side with preserving bins on the other

4x4 foundations

the jump from the boxes to the bins is possible

[sharp stream]

its been the same difficulty since I started the save though

i wonder whats gonna be shown tomorrow

Probably Dread concept

Hopefully dread concept and Shasta dossier

why is there grass floating in the air

[harsh quarry]

how would i level up megatheriums without swamp cave because the bugs arent respawning in the cave

[past sentinel]

ASE is almost the same age as GTA V and not nearly as funded as Rockstar. Which is why it refreshing to see ASA about to come out to see it in an upgraded game engine.

[fair hearth]

Just wondering if cheating is going to be rampant like in ase I know that anti cheat will hopefully be a thing and that they don't have to deal with 3 different platform servers since its all in one together it might be easier for staff to catch cheaters but yeah just wondering if its going to be rampant like in ase any thoughts ?

[sharp mountain]

Most pvp players ik are pessimistic and think it will be much the same

We will see

[fair hearth]

I hopefully that it won't

[rigid summit]

will ark ascended be available on xbox one?

[fair hearth]

Yeah it's all 3 platforms

[rigid summit]

so not limited to just x/s?

[fair hearth]

Oh xbox one idk I'd think so

[sharp mountain]

Whatever is new gen consoles

Not old gen like ps4

[rigid summit]

I hope so because I don't own a s/x

[hot vale]

ASA is for new gen only

[rigid summit]

aren't they deleting the current version when it comes out?

[hot vale]

No, just not supporting it anymore

[slate widget]

no, only officials is shutting down

[rigid summit]

ah

[gloomy steeple]

Can someone please remind me when the last save is?

[hot vale]

What do you mean by that?

[gloomy steeple]

There is supposed to be one final save before the servers close, but I can’t find when that is

[hot vale]

Well, the official servers are shutting down tomorrow

I dont think I can help you out anyway, I dont play official, sorry

[gloomy steeple]

Yes

[rigid summit]

one last question

will it cost money

[sharp mountain]

40$ at least yh

[rigid summit]

damn

[fair hearth]

Think they said its $39.99 but hopefully we don't have to buy the dlcs all over again

On the game pass for xbox it'll be free think was mentioned

[rigid summit]

oh good

[sonic shadow]

I think this just might be for Ark 2 but I’m not exactly sure

[fair hearth]

Might be ark 2 I remember one of them was going to be

[slate widget]

ark 2 was confirmed for gamepass, don't believe ASA has been yet. we will probably find out with the FAQ (hopefully) but if its not I doubt they will say.

[analog burrow]

Hopefully asa is save me a bit of money then

[slate widget]

if it is then xbox one will be able to play it on xcloud

need good internet for that tho lol. doubt it'll be that useful for PvP. PvE/SP will probably be fine tho

[analog burrow]

Yeah but servers always seem laggy for me compared to sp

[slate widget]

yeah, there is always gonna be some lag like that. its just a strange quirk about ASE.

its the weird thing where you kinda get stuck on trees and stuff.

[analog burrow]

Yeah most games are sort of like that though

Sorry I keep forgetting but I’d it mat or pat that’s can go over 20/20?

[slate widget]

one parent can go over 20/20. the other parent can't. doesn't matter which side if you are looking at the offspring then it doesn't matter.

[analog burrow]

Wdym if I am look at the offspring?

[slate widget]

when you are looking at the ancestry menu, it shows the pat/mat lines and has the mutation counter on both sides. it doesn't matter there as each side are for the parents.
what you need to worry about is if the dino you are looking at is below or above 20 (add them together)
if its above 20 breed it with one below 20,

[analog burrow]

What? So the sides added to toghtehwr can’t go to 20?

[slate widget]

No, if the 2 sides add together to 20, it means that offspring (the one you are looking at) will have 20 and won't be able to give mutations so it needs its partner to not be over 20 so it can give the mutation.

[analog burrow]

Yeah so that’s why I use a base 0/0 0/0 female right then the the males can go as high as I want if I do it right

Well the 255 cap but still

[slate widget]

yes, as long as one parent is 0 mutations then you can go as high as you want. 254/253 in every stat.

[analog burrow]

Yeah I probably won’t end up that high unless I do in health

[slate widget]

yeah, its not really worth it outside of PvP for the most part. getting 100 is and then some tamed levels ontop is more then enough for pretty anything.

[analog burrow]

Well deinochyus haven’t got great health and I want to take some of them to the boss

[slate widget]

deinos will probably want more health unless you specifically want them for dragon then it doesn't really matter much

I guess more doesn't hurt but you will always have the dragon fire dealing % damage

[analog burrow]

Yeah I’m gonna take a deadon thing time aswell cause of there lower health

Well assuming there are on Val would think so

[sharp mountain]

With a single good 1 u could solo alpha island dragon

[mental dragon]

@slate widget I'm so sorry for the tag, I just noticed you had a moderator role, I'm just trying to see if there's like a suggestion area? Was just going to ask if it was possible to add a "switch" tag to the server advertisement area. Again I apologize for the tag 😬

[analog burrow]

True but on a Val isn’t there 3 bosses in the one arena

[sharp mountain]

Yh
I'm just telling u how good 1 is for boss like alpha dragon

Other then that, not sure ppl ever use them for others

[analog burrow]

Yeah there damage and bleed are good I just need to work on health a lot

[sharp mountain]

I'll let u in on a secret for them

I heard long ago from a breeder their melee bleed damage caps out around 600ish melee

[analog burrow]

600% or 600 damage

[sharp mountain]

600%

Lvled into it works

[analog burrow]

Mine already 593%

[sharp mountain]

Not just base

Sheesh

[analog burrow]

Still would like them to do more base attack damage

[sharp mountain]

It's kinds like thylas
Where lvling melee won't matter much yh know

[analog burrow]

I’m just wondering why am I getting level 162(base) 184 (mutations) then 182 eggs what’s the 182 coming from

Is that bad or is that fine?

[timber ivy]

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.
But will asa be on geforce now?

[tame whale]

no

[slate widget]

that means one of the stats is different. most likely speed.

[analog burrow]

How do I fix it?

Wait how can it be different iv iv got 13 0/0 0/0 then the male with a mutation?

Mutations I mean

[slate widget]

your base stats were different. if all the stats are the same then its speed.
one of the dinos has +2 levels in speed. they can also be wild levels not from mutations.

[analog burrow]

Iv used the same base stats to start my stack of mutations if the mutation male got a speed mutation does that effect it?

[slate widget]

yes, each stat is passed down with a 55% chance for the higher one.

[analog burrow]

So I can keep double mutations right just not if it has speed then?

[slate widget]

since you are on singleplayer you can just ignore speed levels. you don't have to worry about a cap

[analog burrow]

Well seeing I’m breeding a 188 and some 162s and getting 184,186,188 is that fine will I still get mutations?

[slate widget]

as long as the 162s are at 0 mutations then yeah. just the different stats getting passed down.

[analog burrow]

So it’s fine I’m getting 184s and 186s aswell that’s just the speed stats? And I will still be able to get mutations?

[slate widget]

the levels are just the stats added up. as long as one parent is at 0 mutations you can get mutations.

[analog burrow]

Alright well iv been using those female parents since the start so it’s still fine then

Ok I’m going fishing thanks for the help played to much ark today lol

[red cloud]

Can anybody help me? On my server my ascendent items are doing the same amount of damage as primitve but only seems to be with long range weapons. Is this a known bug that can be fixed?

[sterile robin]

Does your server have a percentage cap on item lvls/power

[lusty ridge]

Is it true Ark one servers shutting down soon?

[fervent badger]

@lusty ridge check the community crunch in announcements. This last crunch posted Friday gives you all the details about server shutdowns

[sterile robin]

yes, in roughly 18 hours

[wet hazel]

Is ark survival ascended going to be on ps4

[sterile robin]

I believe ps5

[wet hazel]

I saw something from a few days ago some were on Google says ps4 I don’t know if it was a tipo though

[sterile robin]

I could be wrong, but I have seen a couple guys say ps5+

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/ARK:_Survival_Ascended

[wet hazel]

Does the ps5 plus mean others like ps4 or just ps5

[sterile robin]

right side of the page

if I had ot guess just ps5

[prisma sand]

Asa is next gen only.

[ruby sundial]

ps4 will not work. must be ps5. sorry bro

[outer quail]

Quick question, official small tribes are getting wiped too? (Asking bc someone asking that)

[prisma sand]

Yes. All official servers are being taken down.

[tiny bronze]

i wish i cud crossplay with my friend, this is infuriating

[shrewd agate]

ASA will be crossplay enabled

[analog burrow]

I’m so confused can I dm someone I don’t know which deinonychus I should be using for breeding I’m so lost

[prisma sand]

Is that an honest question?

Generation is determined by age. It will be next gen until a new gen is released. Gen.

Honestly I find it easier than that shit

Idk what generation people are from

I like that better to

Let’s do that

You boomers are smart

[somber coral]

I feel scammed

I got ark on my ps4 and I just got a ps5 and the game is locked

[finite zenith]

What time do servers go down

[somber coral]

Today

[hard nebula]

Question is asa still coming the 1st of October

Because I’ve seen nothing about it being delayed or any in game clips

[thick lotus]

midnight UTC is all we know, and it's the 30th too, not today.

I’m playing singleplayer with default settings and singleplayer mode unchecked, but I tamed a pt and I noticed it was a little bit faster than usual, it came with 135% speed. Anyone know why this is? And how I can fix it to be normal?

[meager glen]

Is flyer speed leveling enabled?

[buoyant escarp]

Mope

Nope

[meager glen]

Hmm I think that might be vanilla

[buoyant escarp]

Idk this pt feels a lot faster than usual

And isn’t speed always at 100%?

[meager glen]

Not for flyers

[buoyant escarp]

Hmm okay I might be bugging

[spring shoal]

What ever happened to Kishko?

[tough yarrow]

If its not Ark ingame, maybe switch to #general chat instead, especially if the youtuber isn't playing Ark

[spring shoal]

He hasn’t uploaded in 3 years but his last thing was Ark so I wasn’t sure

[tough yarrow]

Well if he hasn't uploaded in 3 years.. probably a safe bet he's not playing Ark lol

[spring shoal]

😞

[spring ore]

He dose

[tough yarrow]

It's really more of a #general thing if you're just chatting about a youtuber lol thanks

13 hours till server shut down

Official servers

[carmine tundra]

Guys

Can someone help me to find liopleurodon?

[prisma sand]

They’re rare and in deep water.

I typically see one on the island if I’m doing the loop though.

Level doesn’t matter. Just that sweet sweet loot buff. Also make sure you got honey on you.

[carmine tundra]

Ok

[carmine tundra]

Ik, i need one to have the lucky effect to find ancendent objects in underwater and flying drops

But deep water is the depth of sea?

I made an entire circle around island sea, and I didn't saw one

Is there a specific spawn pointer?

*point

[prisma sand]

Check the wiki. Its a complete circle around the island though.

You don’t have to be like on the sea floor

Just deep.

[carmine tundra]

Ok

[carmine tundra]

Ok

Thank u

[kind tiger]

hi

[prisma sand]

Hey

[kind tiger]

can u help me

me and my friends want to crossplay steam and epicgames

[carmine tundra]

Oh ok

[kind tiger]

my friends search for my non dedicated session and he couldnt find my session

[carmine tundra]

Non dedicated sessions works only with account of same engine

[kind tiger]

so where can i play with my friend?

[carmine tundra]

Like a ps player won't play with a steam player, only with official servers

[carmine tundra]

Dedicated server (it costs) or official server

[kind tiger]

oh okay thankyou somuch for your info

[carmine tundra]

Otherwise you and your friends could play ark on the same platform

[tardy cobalt]

Is it truly over?

[carmine tundra]

I watched the spawn map, so i'll have to stay near of world border?

[carmine tundra]

Oh yeah another thing, official server will be shutted off when ark ascended will be released

[kind tiger]

okay thanks for the info

[carmine tundra]

Ok

So this afternoon ill have to spend others 2 hours to find the lio

Is a dolphin a good tame to find him?

[prisma sand]

Yeah, dolphins are great just run through and don’t get caught up

[carmine tundra]

Ok

A friend told me that there's a mod to have lio tamed forever, how does it call?

[prisma sand]

Mmm. Might be nountameables

No untameables*

[spring ore]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/community-crunch-380-community-creature-winner-liveops-update-and-more-r2162/

Official link says 11 hours

[cedar oracle]

Official will come back in ASA

So nah its not just over

[spring ore]

I'm surprised why we still have not seen anything

[worthy burrow]

I'm secretly hoping we haven't gotten much because they are gonna release it when the servers shut down

[spring ore]

I literally believed them when they said ARK 2 will be released in 2022

[tough yarrow]

It's releasing around the end of October

[spring ore]

They said October

[worthy burrow]

@tough yarrow yea I saw that lol I'm hoping for some deception that's all lol

[tough yarrow]

Community crunch says end of October, as well as multiple devs lol

[spring ore]

Devs don't know that it's publishers job

[worthy burrow]

Is there a place to look up unofficial servers with the rates? I'm only looking for a 2x at max I enjoy the grind

[tough yarrow]

I feel like the product manager for Studio Wildcard does know tbh

Thank you for letting me know 🙏

[mossy quarry]

When is ASA launching?

[tame whale]

End of October

[bold pier]

Can i make some sort of a water source in an area that is pretty far from a river or the sea?

[tame whale]

You can glitch water taps into the ground

Watch yt videos on specifics

[bold pier]

Aight thanks

[kind tiger]

thankyou for ur info btw i just read this message after i uninstall my ark

so i download it again rn

:))

[next creek]

Yes because wildcard is a very reliable game developing company

[void dove]

Pipes, or hook up some reservoirs and rely on rain

[tame whale]

It's their publisher that causes the problems

[floral coral]

First thing im gonna do in asa is..... probably die to a troodon. 😄

[bleak fern]

For some reason whenever I open a drop on my server it gives ascendant gear in stuff like yellow drops I have my difficulty on 0.2 but I am still getting boosted drops I am hosting nonededicated anyone able to help?

[mild onyx]

This is more than likely the setting "Loot quality" (something like that) it's at the bottom of the *Advanced Ark Settings"

The higher the factor, the higher quality the loot

[bleak fern]

Good to know thank you I have a second question if that's okay

[mild onyx]

Fire away

[bleak fern]

For some reason I find that there are like no carnivorous animals in the redwoods which I find strange

Any idea if there is a setting tied to it?

[mild onyx]

Go into the pause menu and hold in both rb, lb and x, B at the same time

This will put a admin command bar up on the top of the screen

[bleak fern]

Done

[mild onyx]

In this bar, type in
"destroywilddinos"

No spaces no caps needed

[mild onyx]

This does a worldwide "dino wipe" which will wipes out all dinos

About 5-10 seconds after, everything will be normal again

[bleak fern]

Doing it now

I feel stupid for not doing a Dino wipe lol

[mild onyx]

Come to think of it actually

Go to your settings and look at the dino count number

[bleak fern]

I did up it

Dino count is 1.0

[mild onyx]

Then see if the dino wipe works

Unless there's a larger number of herbivores in the redwoods

[low canyon]

You have to wait another 10 seconds before you can apply a new bola to your target. ah so its not just failing from random bad luck

[sour sedge]

offical servers when wipe ?

[mild onyx]

Official deletes tommorow

[tough yarrow]

The most recent community crunch in #announcements has a helpful time converter so you can keep track of it.

[fossil inlet]

i havent played ark in a while and i tried yesterday but it was so boring any ideas why i felt that way?

[north pike]

@silent matrix only host you can have is nitrado so it may not be as popular as evolved.

[low canyon]

for singleplayers we are un affected and when shit goes wrong we can just restore and creative stuff in if you lose it through glitches in which case its not cheating though i do wish i had a lot more control over the mechanics of the game itself like dino bahaviour to make stuff less annoying

even private server restorations arent ideal since everyones doing their own thing and you can eff them up to fix your own issue

singleplayer doesnt really have that issue, though 2 players if playing together might work well

while i love ark i can also hate it at times it has so many issues in the way it works not so much bugs but as though they just made it one way then left it without taking feedback of how to improve that feature or mechanic or system

hands down it can be by far one of the most frustrating games out there as a result and one big thing way too much is reliant on RnG rather than some kind of progression but without end so it still remains a dino themed sandbox

hoping ark 2 is gonna be a lot less about RnG random luck etc

[sharp ore]

ark shutting down tmrw

gg

[unborn cargo]

why?

[sturdy gulch]

can a wyvern carry a procoptodon

[past sentinel]

Only official is shutting down, and it for prep to launch ASA at the end of October.

[unborn cargo]

ah ok ty for the info

[fossil trellis]

end is in 7hrs44min

[unborn cargo]

i can still play on singleplayer

but boring

[past sentinel]

Yes

And unofficial servers

[fathom socket]

I deafeted the beta dragon in ragnarok at the blue obelisk but I searched it up in google and I found that the megapithecus blue obelisk

Which obelisk is the gorilla at

any new ark players want a coach to help u dominate ark?

[fresh ore]

[tiny bronze]

yes

i will coach u for 800 hours, even more if u r slow, and even more i will do it for free lmfao

[fresh ore]

[grand comet]

Are we getting a Community crunch today?

[void dove]

Yep

[grand comet]

is that confirmed? It can be either Friday or Saturday and recently has been Saturdays?

[void dove]

It's always been Friday, usually around 5pm PST unless it's late. Hasn't been one delayed until Saturday for a while

[gaunt vine]

hello everyone

[grand comet]

lies the past 2 have been Saturday @void dove

[void dove]

I mean ... timezones are a thing. What timezone are you?

[grand comet]

There has been 4 Community crunch's this month and 3 of them have been saturday last friday crunch we've gotten was #378

EU, GMT time Ireland/UK time in other words

[void dove]

There ya go. You're what, 7 hours ahead? That's nearly half a day.

[grand comet]

7 hours ahead if you are West Coast US yeah

[void dove]

So the Crunches release in the US on Friday afternoons, but for you Saturday morning

[grand comet]

I mean I thought they went off of East Coast time no?

East Coast time we are 5 hours ahead, central we are 6 hours ahead and West Coast we are 7 Hours ahead. Something like that

[shadow sorrel]

they go off of "Whenever they get around to it" time.

[void dove]

WC is west coast, pretty sure. Regardless, they're usually released around 5pm PST Fridays. Occasionally they're delayed a bit but not often

[shadow sorrel]

It is anywhere between 7 EST to 11:59 EST.

[grand comet]

Hmmm fair enough

[shadow sorrel]

But just warning you, just because it's super late, doesn't mean it's going to be something good.

[grand comet]

True just hoping it's a Q&A or at least the annoucement of when they are relasing a Q&A

[shadow sorrel]

1. When will you release a gameplay trailer.

A: Sometime in the future before the release of ASA

Thank you for your time

[grand comet]

Just about 1 month away from launch so things should be picking up fast now especially with official servers saying goodbye

[shadow sorrel]

one would think

I used to be like you, optimistic, but not anymore.

[grand comet]

The info I want to know is not even a trailer really, I want to know about cryopods and what balance changes they talked about regarding caves ideally I'd like to know that prior to launch day lmao. takes a lot of serious planning playing Official with a 30+ man tribe lol

[shadow sorrel]

be prepared to wing it

[grand comet]

unfortunately that is on the mind

[void dove]

Might get those answers in the upcoming FAQs, but until then we likely won't know until trailer (assuming those features are shown specifically) or release

[grand comet]

though i am expecting Official servers to be late and or go to complete dogwater at launch day so that'll give time to run singleplayer and check everything important anyways. But knowing if theres cryos before launch day would still be useful to know they did say they'll answer that question

I don't know 1 month from launch people starting to get restless has been a long time since something big like this has happened especially officials wiping thats a very big deal. Just all excited albeit with knowing how much of a shit show its all gonna be 7 years of Ark teaches you that 😂

[silent matrix]

how do i keep dinos at lvl 1? and no level system? i cant find anything

[autumn basin]

Looking for a tribemate for an unofficial server called valhalla theres a discord and its pretty active

[past sentinel]

Better question is why on earth would that be something you would want to do. 🤔

[silent matrix]

balancing

some have figured it out somehow on steam but its so complicated that i couldn’t understand and im waiting for a reply now

[grand comet]

All dinos level 1? what kind of balancing is that 😂

At least make them al Level 150 then they are useful and balanced

[past sentinel]

Right

That was my thought

[silent matrix]

no but then the stats a random and i dont like that

[errant shore]

do dung beetles still eat...That when tamed or can it eat other stuff to live?

[silent matrix]

i thought about a lvl 150 cap but its way to random

[past sentinel]

Then just say that, cause all level 1 not balanced 😂

[silent matrix]

wdym? besides giga all is pretty much balanced?

[grand comet]

I thought Level 1 tames still could have random stats no? Because even taming them the points go into different stats randomly.

[past sentinel]

👆

[silent matrix]

well then lvl 0

[grand comet]

Maybe I'm wrong but I figured even Level 1 shit was random just extremely terrible

[silent matrix]

i just want to play and have fun with low lvl dinos i dont want people to judge me on it man… :((

[grand comet]

I mean by all means you do what you wanna do its your game your rules I think you are just tryna over complicate things for yourself

[silent matrix]

so at the end there is no way to do this at all?

[grand comet]

I'm sure theres a way to lock them all to level 1 somehow but what you are tryna do, have every specific dino have the same set stat no I don't think so

Unless you mod it that way but I doubt theres a mod premade to do that

[dusty bone]

Perfect time to release ASA, right?

[silent matrix]

yes

[silent matrix]

i mean everyone has only there base stats (Stego with more hp but slow against fast raptor with low hp)

i tried lowest lvl difficulty but they still get lvl 2 or higher :((

[grand comet]

As far as I'm aware all tames no matter what level, within reason to that assigned level, will have different stats. I don't think Level 1 means they are at a base set stat that all level 1s of the same creature share I think its still random and even then, when you tame them from level 1 they'll go up whatever a Level 1 bonus levels are and then those levels randomly are assigned to the tames attributes unless you punched the thing over and over and over do the effectivness is like 1% or 0 with no bonus level but I really don't think all that is gonna check out

@silent matrix

[silent matrix]

hmm i see

[grand comet]

Thats why I said that you'd probably need to have a mod for that to change things specifically to make that a reality. The entire system is based off of chance and luck within reason for the most part which makes it genius because its different every single time and has you spending hours looking for something you need regarding stats

It's random but it's also within reason which makes it super smart. Unfortunately the game didn't make it easy for you to play the way you wish to because it never expected anyone to want that lmao

[silent matrix]

yes but thats not fun its fun to tame and have strategy and not a giga that can do all, thats my problem… the game is not balanced but in SOTF it is

[grand comet]

I mean a Giga is meant to be a more end game tame which can beat anything wild in the world yes. A Carcha is better than a Giga raged though

How the games designed wasn't with true very replayable PVE environment in mind

[silent matrix]

but thats has nothing to do with pve?

if i fight someone with a lvl 1 raptor (so does he) it means only the better one wins and thats what i want~ and the rock paper scissors system to get counter or de-/buffer

[grand comet]

It does because PVE is Player vs the Environment. So Singleplayer for example being PVE theres not a lot of a steep crawl to reach a point where you trump everything wild on the map and the only challenge becomes the bosses

[silent matrix]

well thats what u state now is a lack of balancing by the game that i just mentioned before

[grand comet]

So basically what you want is to make every single player with the same tame to have an exact equal opportunity to win the fight and the only way to truly sway it is strategy when using said tame.

[silent matrix]

it shouldn’t be that if u have the op dino that u can fight everything u should be scared of a group of stegosaurus or so still if ur not paying attention u should be able to lose even the “strongest dino” in pve

[spring ore]

6 hours

[silent matrix]

well i hope ur not mad about me if u have ideas please share it cuz im looking for improvements for the game

[grand comet]

Yeha but thats not how the game was designed. You basically want to change how the entire game is balanced and the only true way to do that is by mods you make and design yourself

[grand comet]

Nope not mad wa sjust tryna understand where you are coming from lol

[spring ore]

I always hoped for more than 20 different strong caves where people can live without getting snipped 24/7

[silent matrix]

i must say its sad its not designed like in SOTF :((

[empty dome]

When do servers close

[grand comet]

It would be a balancing nightmare tho for a game to attempt to balance a game in that way with literally well over 100 creatures

[spring ore]

6 hours

[silent matrix]

i understand that but i never had issues with balancing dinos and wouldnt u say aswell that now is the same way only bcs of powercreep dinos?

[grand comet]

If you look on each dinosaur/creature as lets say a Gun in Fortnite or any shooter game, there is always gonna be better guns than some guns so much so the meta will make it to where theres only ever gonna be a use of a handful of guns that ultimately will outclass the other

[silent matrix]

thats why Rexes run around alone and brontos are in a group but still too weak to win if rex is max and everyone half the lvl

if they would be lvl 1 they would win

[hasty oasis]

ASA WE WANT REEEEEE

[slate prawn]

is the steam version of ark the real one because ive never brought it and i have it. is there like a free version and a payed version

[silent matrix]

and if a player would be smart they pick one and go step by step

i hope u understand? :0

[pallid forum]

guys if i get banned in ARK1 officall will the ban carry on ARK ASCENDED. I got banned cuase someone in my tribe hacked and i didnt know

[grand comet]

I mean people are gonna rush to tame and use whatever the meta becomes and bypass everything in between so you are still back right where you left off

[spring ore]

No it's a completely different game

[silent matrix]

thats why there needs to be balancing like in SOTF imo

i just want to have the same gameplay on singleplayer

[remote escarp]

Are we able to play with friends on non dedicated servers? 🥹

[slate prawn]

is the steam version of ark the real one because ive never brought it and i have it. is there like a free version and a payed version

[grand comet]

I don't know too much about the balancing on SOTF but when i did play it and Carchas were added if you owned a carcha you won the game

[silent matrix]

because its was a new dino that need balancing

it should lose against 3 rexes or 8 stegos or so~ mass against one is key i think there is a game called the island or so and it works just like i would want it to be

[grand comet]

Thats fair but what works for SOTF wouldn't really work for real Ark because theres other aspects to real ark like building that SOTF isn't about. SOTF is a battle royale that could be balanced very differently to the real game. I truly don't think the real game could be balanced the same as SOTF because there are two different ball parks

[silent matrix]

i only want the dino balancing from STOF and nothing more base game is perfect but balancing isnt

well perfect is not really a great word right now~

[grand comet]

The main game definitely need to look at its balancing for sure I'm not saying that it doesn't. But the balancing you are talking about I personally don't think it could be that way in the main game

[silent matrix]

how would u do it?

[grand comet]

Things like Stryders, Carchas, the new flying bugs other thing sneed balancing tweaks. Every DLC that released felt the ned to trump the other with tames which appealed to the playerbase but for the overall game in hindsight it hurt it. Kinda like giving a chocolate bar to a kid, it makes them happy but the more you do the fatter they become and then thats a health problem and you did more harm than good

[silent matrix]

thats why i wanted to have my singleplayer as i mentioned it

[plucky ginkgo]

Hi

[grand comet]

I would target specific tames and buff and nerf them accordingly, give tames like the Chalico a use in the meta or in a certain situation. theres so many tame sin the game that serve no purpose and theres too many tame sin the game that are busted

[silent matrix]

if the devs cant make the game at least 90% perfect for anyone then why playing the game with trouble and hate most of the time

[plucky ginkgo]

I’m new

How what is the armor ark server name?

[silent matrix]

well yes i agree but that leads to the devs not taking much care of the game

[plucky ginkgo]

Yes

[silent matrix]

if they would be dedicated they would adresse balancing and quality of life

well at least i hope devs would think that way cuz Quality of life is a important part and i would count this to it

[silent matrix]

but thank u for taking ur time i hope ASA is getting better wish u the best thx again ❤️

[grand comet]

No worries man have a good one. Hope you find a solution to your problem. Might be in need of a mod though or to learn how to make a mod yourself.

[limber coral]

question, is it a good idea to set Empty Cryopods to stack to like 5, or does that just mess them up because of the timer, or does the timer work like raw meat

[crude tinsel]

4 pm

[grand comet]

They would have the same spoil timer as meat @limber coral. But as for a tame inside it would become its own item with a individual timer

[limber coral]

someone just said it would corrupt the pods because youd have like 4 cryos without tames, and 1 with, in the same inventory slot, because when you cryo/uncryo it stays in the same slot

ill just do folder view

[grand comet]

Hmm I don't know it might I never tried it. In theory though it shouldn't and the cryo'd tame becomes its own new item and becomes another slot in your inventory. But I wouldn't really know

You stray from the settings and game rules Wildcard has set and things start to become dodgy lmao

[tame whale]

i thought it would be cool if their size reflected their level as adults

and i mean dinos lol

[sudden sigil]

Ark

Is The Best dinossauro game

[short spear]

[carmine tundra]

guys

can someone explain me how to find underwater loot crates?

[outer quail]

In 4 hours 36mins

[void dove]

Dunk head underwater, look for loot crates

[stone sedge]

Is ark ark ascendant will be on xbox one?

[grand comet]

No thats old gen

It'll only be out for Xbox Series X/S and Playstation 5, the most recent gen consoles

And PC naturally

[stone sedge]

Ok i will buy xbox series

Its easy

[grand comet]

depends what map, on the Wiki there is spawn locations for every map I believe.

[short spear]

there is an exact day for ark ascended release?

[heavy pawn]

nope

[short spear]

ok

[sharp mountain]

Nope, just said in October

[short spear]

ok

[carmine tundra]

Yes, im in the island, but do crates spawns in every point, or i have to wait that they spawn?

[grand comet]

As far as I remember from a long time ago 2-3 crates can spanw at any given time on the random ocean spawns

You just have to swim around to each and hope for the best

on Island, easy underwater Cave on the West Coast about 10,50 give or take there's at least 1 Red crate spawn in that cave

If Ocean crates is what you are after the best way to do that is to farm that cave, maybe Hard Underwater on the East Coast too I think probably has red crates spawns as well

[blissful sage]

any admins pls help my frined has been banned for so long now he filed an appeal and no one has helped he got ip banned for no rewason at all. His computer literally cant run any cheast anyway man. I just wanna play with him.

[grand comet]

If he got banned from the Official network it was probably for a very good reason, if not you can appeal it on their website I think.

[blissful sage]

im being serious we were juust playing the game

and he got bnanend over a year ago now

[tame whale]

they close in 4 hours

[blissful sage]

i filed multiple appeals at this point

years ago

please man

[pliant shadow]

since the official server are closing in 4 hours, I'll say they won't check it

[grand comet]

You are better off waiting until ASA because Official is closing in 4 hours

[blissful sage]

wait ark servers are shutting down?

[grand comet]

If you file dmultiple appeals and they've denied you for years then it was something serious and not a mistake.

[grand comet]

Yes....

[blissful sage]

dude im being serious he did nothing

[pliant shadow]

yes

[grand comet]

Ark Survival evolved Official servers are shutting down forever today in 4 hours

[blissful sage]

sheesh man

years of nostalgia

[grand comet]

yes but the remaster is coming in a month which will bring them back on a fresh wipe

[blissful sage]

alr word sounds good

do i have tgo buy a new game or nah

[grand comet]

You'll have to buy the entire game again and it will only have The island at launch

[blissful sage]

shit alr

[pliant shadow]

yes will be Ark survival Ascended

[grand comet]

Ark Survival Evolved might be going forever but Ark Survival Ascended will replace it

[blissful sage]

will my fr4iend be unbanned when this comes out?

[pseudo mantle]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/server-backups/

[pliant shadow]

it's a new game, so yes

[grand comet]

You can still play unofficial servers on this version of Ark for as long as they remain up but most of them will slowly move to the remaster

[blissful sage]

yea makes sense, thanks guys

[pseudo mantle]

They will be doing one more backup today. Make sure all your dinos are on one server. Example Extinction 442. Follow the link for the server backups. Hover over the box at the bottom. Locate Extinction 442 and click on it. It will download to your PC. Follow the Steam directions to play it on single player. Steam: Library > Right-click on ARK: Survival Evolved > Properties > General Tab > Launch Options and paste this command line: -newsaveformat -usestore

[pseudo mantle]

You can also look on the Announcements for the Community crunch 380 for more info Rajul.

Is it normal not finding a single rex in asgard?

[stiff summit]

Should probably post that in #1110949794907684965

[brittle shoal]

Jemand deutsch und auf ps4?

[sharp turtle]

I have already domesticated it, it died and I want to know if someone will give it to me

[stiff summit]

That's ark for you. Tame another lol

[sharp mountain]

Bro, what are u doing on officials then?

Go play single player if u want

[sharp turtle]

lose but they are going to close the servers and I only want one as a farewell

[night seal]

Where is the crunch announcement

[sharp mountain]

Not out yet

[night seal]

Ah - cool

What is it meant to consist of? Anyone know or is it just a case of waiting till release

[sharp mountain]

Dollies said its a long read 🤷‍♂️

[night seal]

I’ll be keen on it then

[fathom yacht]

people are not gonna give you stuff on a pvp server, and official servers are gonna close in 3 hours...

[sharp mountain]

Yh idk what some of these ppl thinking

Just go Singleplayer

[bleak rain]

I expect a trailer in 3 hours for ascended

[fathom yacht]

they HAVE to give us some ASA info today, right?

[pastel niche]

wait if i dont want to lose my pvp account where can i trasfer to

[sharp mountain]

Bro 💀💀💀💀
Officals is shutting down
It's gone

U could play if u wanted un Singleplayer downloading the map/character

[tame whale]

theres no trailer

[pastel niche]

just singleplayer mode....dang RIP to my account then

[fathom yacht]

what do you even mean "pvp account"? official servers are shutting down. That's it. If you play on official servers, you'll be able to download saves and host your own IF you want to.

Unnofficial servers should be unaffected (at least until ASA comes out).

[sharp mountain]

He said he's, hoping for a trailer

[tame whale]

Dollie said theres no trailer

[fathom yacht]

there's no "account" what are you talking about, lol.

you can play pvp on unnofficial servers still

[pastel niche]

my character on official

[sharp mountain]

Yh, that character is stuck on offical
And getting deleted

[past sentinel]

No he said he expects a trailer, not hoping. There is quite a difference in definition between those two words.

[tame whale]

you can submit for a save, to download the server and either host it on your own or play singleplayer

[fathom yacht]

well, that's gone-ish. You'll be able to download the save file and host your own server, if you want to.

Or play on unnofficial, or wait for ASA

[sharp mountain]

Unless ur on consoles
Then ur screwed

[fathom yacht]

Where have you been for the past 5 months you don't know that? 😂

[past sentinel]

Console can still get their saves, they just have to rent a server. Can't use single player

[sharp mountain]

Exactly
Consoles get screwed over

[past sentinel]

I wouldn't say that when they have been announcing server shut down for a couple months at least now.

It not WC fault people procrastinate til last minute and scramble. The game was given 8 years of life span which is almost as long as GTA V and no one but Rockstar has ever done that for games that intend on making sequels.

WC gave more support than 90% of AAA companies do for their games

[sharp mountain]

Don't disagree with ur points
But also

Console players still get shafted even more so

[past sentinel]

How long is official suppose to stay up? Would be kind of dumb to not expect it to come to an end when the next addition in this instances is a re-imagined and re-mastered ASA.

It should be obvious that if you play on official servers you probably likely going to lose it at some point.

They really had no obligations to do the two file saves they are doing, to be honest

[abstract flint]

Is ark pulling an overwatch and shutting down the old game so they can put up the new one?

[next basin]

how long until the servers go down

[sharp mountain]

2hrs
#general pinned messages

[next basin]

bruh im so sad rn

[sharp mountain]

Only official servers shut down

And ASA cost 40$

[abstract flint]

Ok

[tropic lodge]

13 minutes left right

[sharp mountain]

2hr 13min
#general pinned messages

[karmic epoch]

So the servers are shutting down in 1 hr?

[sharp mountain]

Officals yep

[fossil trellis]

[void dove]

[karmic epoch]

Don't, lol he so sad

[fossil trellis]

[heavy sequoia]

[bleak rain]

Guys @past sentinel I meant hope, but with expect I meant I expect a trailer as servers are shutting down. But ofc know one know when it drops

[karmic epoch]

The crunch didn't come out yet hey?

[bleak rain]

No

[tame whale]

[regal lance]

[tame whale]

[tame whale]

dollies confirmed there is no trailer happening

[karmic portal]

Noooo

[desert furnace]

trailer not gonna happen till 2 weeks befor release i guess mor important would be the FAQ

[karmic portal]

Bruh srsly

[tame whale]

time it takes to make one would take away from the game

[rigid oak]

Hi can anyone help me

I want to know something

[grand hemlock]

Excuse me guys, Ark Survival Evolved will shut down official servers between today and tomorrow?

thats true?

[tame whale]

they shut down in just under 2 hours

[rigid oak]

Which time ?

[past sentinel]

Check the pinned message here: #general

[rigid oak]

I want do boss fight fjodur need lvl 100 or not wolf ?

[rigid oak]

Ok can tell me about boss fight @tame whale

[fathom ledge]

end of an era everyone.

[short belfry]

Never lost anything or got wiped

[past sentinel]

Well time to prep to test that luck out on ASA soon enough again

[steady thunder]

Spent a whole month moving stuff from 11 different maps on official after 5 years hopefully the saves actually work

[graceful bay]

When’s ascended come out

[wet mantle]

end of oct

[short belfry]

Is smalls coming first?

[past sentinel]

Being as it looks like you're on xbox you do know you have to rent a server

[steady thunder]

I have nitrado downloaded just waiting now

[void dove]

Need Lv100

[hardy compass]

[prime temple]

I’d like to know if legacy will be a thing again because of early access, and if everything will be wiped after a year or so. I also would like to know if smalls / crossark / offline raid protection and so on will be a thing

[tame whale]

we dont know anything yet

[prime temple]

We know.

[fathom yacht]

I think "early access" in ASA context is it's way of saying that not every map is going to be available at launch, because ASA as a "whole product" includes all DLC maps. I could be wrong, though.

[prime temple]

Mmmm, it worries me. My tribe is ready to go all in, and I really don’t want to feel like I did in 2017

[fathom yacht]

ASA initial release HAS to include everything that's available now in the game, except DLC maps and possibly creatures, right? RIGHT?

It can't be like the original ASE early access with 20 creatures, an unfinished map and half of the items, right?

[graceful mauve]

Early access is just a way of them basically releasing a buggy game and using that as their excuse as it being a work in progress

[fathom yacht]

Being glitchy cannot be an excuse, otherwise the ASE should have never had a "full release" 😂

[fresh rune]

Wait so is the crunch being delayed or what

[past sentinel]

ASA
ARK: Survival Ascended will now be a standalone package released on every platform (PC Windows/Steam, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation 5) at $39.99.

(At least one exclusive ASA map confirmed by Wildcard that will be a paid DLC)

The package will include the following pieces of content built-in (not sold separately), with each remastered and altered for the next-generation on Unreal Engine 5: w/Cross Play and Cross Platform Modding

The Island (Released at Launch at the end __October 2023__)
Survival of the Fittest: The Island
Scorched Earth & Transfers (Release in December)
Ragnarok & Aberration (Released by Q1 2024)

Extinction, Genesis Part 1, Genesis Part 2, and all the community-created maps are also to be released over time in 2024 (Fjordur, Ragnarok, The Center, Lost Island, Valguero, Crystal Isles)

[slate widget]

Fairly sure legacy was because of certain server/save related bugs. They would probably tell us if they plan to do that for asa anyway.

[fathom yacht]

I wish they would bring primitive servers back (NOT Primitive +)

[past sentinel]

That is the direction for Ark 2 which is slated toward the end/late 2024

[fathom yacht]

Let's hope. But I still want official primitive servers for ASA. Give me ONE primitive pvp server, Studio WIldcard.

[past sentinel]

Considering they cut support for Prim+ to save that dev time and shift those devs over to Ark 2 dev time, it is very unlikely there will be primitive servers in ASA.

[fathom yacht]

ARK is so much more fun when you're running naked in the jungle with nothing but a bow and arrow and bolas and no tek.

[gilded spruce]

beginner pvp servers are basically primitive tbh

[fathom yacht]

But they don't have to put ANY extra work into making primitive servers, it's just ini config to lock enrgams.

[fathom yacht]

that's because they get wiped every now and then, I don't want that. and still, tek stuff (and even rifles and metal buildings for that matter) are still available in those servers.

[past sentinel]

Pretty sure you are thinking of legacy servers. Beginner ones have a level cap I am pretty sure.

[hallow brook]

ark 1 small tribes is still ?

[minor sphinx]

Yuck

[glacial ermine]

hopefully we get some news soon

[solemn sage]

will tamed beavers make dams

[jade junco]

rip i thoght i had until tomorrow before the shut down ?

[fathom yacht]

Humm, dont know for sure, but they're still wiped every now and then, right?

[jade junco]

swear it was the 30th lol

[fathom yacht]

30th UTC, which is in 1h15m

[jade junco]

i cant xfer anything atm

and cant hop so assuming they took em off already

[solemn sage]

yeah the cap is like lvl 30 or something

[atomic whale]

has the day in october for asa release been released?

[void dove]

No

[proven silo]

Suche wem zum ark zocke auf PlayStation egal wie alt Hauptsache nennt

[fathom yacht]

they said "end of october" but not a proper date

hopefully it's not the 31st

[silent matrix]

Hi, anyone knows how many hours we have on official servers before shut down?

[solemn sage]

idk

[sharp delta]

Can't use Nitro emojis 🤮

[solemn sage]

maybe bc this server is overly secure idk why

in a way

[fathom yacht]

Hopefully it's not the same day as the new patch for WoW drops either, otherwise I'm gonna have to clone myself to play both ASA and WoW 😂

[solemn sage]

get two pcs

play both, you have 2 hands for a reason

[fathom yacht]

I'm still gonna need two sets of arms

[solemn sage]

nah I believe in you

you can't do it with that attitude

[sharp delta]

Just get a second screen, wow can played on a 10 year old laptop from goodwill

[fathom yacht]

Might use my feet

[solemn sage]

so uhh how do I get my beaver to make a dam

[fathom yacht]

I still need hands for keyboard and mouse for both games, right

[solemn sage]

he kinda just sitting here useless rn

[void dove]

Nah, the other's

...occupied

[sharp delta]

Just grow a third arm for controller

[solemn sage]

then you'll have to use your long fingers

[sharp delta]

Get the Elon Musk robot

[solemn sage]

his kid?

[sharp delta]

Trash

[solemn sage]

I was making a joke about his kid's name

[sharp delta]

I'm saying trash to the bot

For not letting me gif

[solemn sage]

oh kinda thought you were tryna send a link to some info on hte robot or osmething idk

[proven silo]

Warum

[fathom yacht]

Playing ARK on a controller is probably terrible, and I would still need to grow 2. Only like using controllers to play oldstyle survival horror games such as og silent hill, lol.

[silk moth]

When does the ark sunset happen?

[fathom yacht]

in 1h

[past sentinel]

pinned message in #general

[silk moth]

Thank you

[solemn sage]

nuh UH, the first part, totally right, needing 2 hands, wrong

[jade wren]

OK general is unreadable

[quasi peak]

i play with a controller just fine but i sort of have too because i am missing a few fingers on my wasd hand lol 😂

[uncut fern]

can you guys help me understand something real quick

[violet coral]

[uncut fern]

in the recruitment tab, why does everyone have a ASA filter on but the games not out yet

[fathom yacht]

I can perfectly use controllers for a few types of games, but in FPSs I just can't. My brain isn't that well developed 😂

[main idol]

Anyone wanna play so Official?

[past sentinel]

It called getting ready as not everyone procrastinates till the last minute unlike some people in here losing their mind about official shutting down.

[jade wren]

Closes permanently in 1 hour so I guess not

@uncut fern answered your q too really

[silk moth]

Time to drown one last Bob on officials for fun. 😦

[fathom yacht]

I wish I had made a massive pit to throw every bob I found sleeping on my base instead of drowning them.

Would have a nice collection by now.

[silk moth]

I had a 'Hall of Bob's" on Val. I had SOOOO many Bob and Bobette dermis'. Eventually I had to put some in the vaults.

[fathom yacht]

lol

I built a base on the small island in valguero, too. no fences nor whatever, so people would just climb over it, get on my quetzalport and stuff and log off. I would always find a new one somewhere.

[silk moth]

They log off in my yard, they join the menagerie. I'll have to start over with the Bobs if I play ASA.

[lean lily]

How do I get verified role

[shy sierra]

get verified

[stone hatch]

anyone know any good modpacks with massive amounts of content?

[void dove]

Omega is the only overhaul I've used and it's pretty thicc with things to do

[fathom yacht]

Additional Creatures 2: Wild Ark, though 75% of the content is not really good.

[stone hatch]

whats the main content mod in it?

[void dove]

Omega Ark

[stone hatch]

oh ok never played it

ill give it a go

[void dove]

Basically there's classes of creatures with powers. You have to tame and get eggs from lesser creatures to tame better ones. Each class also has tiers, so it's kinda 'catch em all' in getting the combinations you want

[fathom yacht]

There's some REALLY GREAT stuff in AC2, like the dilophovenatrix and the apatosaur and rhizodus... but then there's some poop too

[timber viper]

hi,just wonderin, im breedin rexes, ive hatched like 12 and only2 have been fem, can anyone explain this?

[restive leaf]

There's the in-game notice..

[steady thunder]

😥

[void dove]

How do you summon the bot with the CC info? 🤔

[slate widget]

You need perms for it.

[void dove]

Ah, so it's not like a key word or something

[stone hatch]

is there any other big ark servers like this one? i kinda need help setting up a server from my pc and theres no channels here

[void dove]

#bobs-with-probs

For all your troubleshooting needs

[stone hatch]

ok couldnt have guessed that lol

[languid harbor]

what does the respawn timer mean

for ASA

[void dove]

Ced being goofy with the shutdown of Official server announcement

[fallow burrow]

what's happening is ark ascended coming out?

i'm genuinely confused lol

[quasi peak]

lol

[void dove]

Not 'till the end of October

Nothing is changed

[thick lotus]

ILL MISS ARK

[void dove]

It'll miss you
I think

[shy sierra]

5 minutes until ark gamers die

[elfin elm]

What kinda cryptic patch notes

[void dove]

.

[fathom yacht]

Had to leave home. Gonna miss the apocalypse, damn.

[spark sedge]

i mean you can still play the og game on unofficials/singleplayer

[thick lotus]

not the same

[clever grove]

good riddance, down with official

[robust osprey]

Up with invaders? 🫡

[clever grove]

😌

[prime temple]

Is Ark shutting down tn?

[robust osprey]

Official servers about to close, yeah

[sonic shale]

I'm on non offical servers whew

[rigid storm]

Whats gonna happen now? Is ase still coming back or is asa replacing ase?

[void dove]

Replacing

[prime temple]

Like right now? This minute? Or ?

[little silo]

can we buy asa yet???

[void dove]

End of October

[robust osprey]

Yes. Closing I mean, not ASA releasing

[fathom yacht]

You can still play ase on single and unnoficial

[rigid storm]

Is it gonna cost extra? (I know the dlc's will)

[sonic shale]

Well i'm on non decatied server i meant

[void dove]

$40, all DLCs included

[rigid storm]

And without?

[void dove]

Then you're not playing ASA

[robust osprey]

No option for without I don’t think

[hazy dome]

am i alone in thinking "midnight on Saturday" meant end of Sat/beginning of Sun?

I think that is the conventional usage although it's certainly ambiguous

[rigid storm]

Island will still be free or not

[hazy dome]

but very like Wildcard to end with one final disappointment, i guess

[tight sage]

Was that confirmed?

[void dove]

Yes, it's been known for months

[robust osprey]

The price for the game is the price for the game, idk what you want me to tell you

[tight sage]

Oh thats a big w

[void dove]

Y'all living under a rock?

[timber ivy]

oh i forgor

[void dove]

None of this is news

[tight sage]

Just havent been keeping up with updates too much
