ark-survival-ascended

[sterile robin]

Okay then you should not tame them then

[glacial ermine]

i think based on yesterdays announcement i think we should look at the 25th or 27th for the release

[random crag]

Yesterday's announcement?

[glacial ermine]

yeah they posted something yesterday

[grand comet]

I don't expect to see a trailer until probably the 13th that would be 2 weeks or so before launch, marketing wise that makes sense to me

[random crag]

On.. twitter? Or where?

[glacial ermine]

on here

[grand comet]

But tomorrows Crunch we probably are gonna get in game screenshots or maybe just more redesigned models like we had before

[glacial ermine]

it be nice for atleast a teaser

[grand comet]

I think the best we will get is 2 weeks from Launch

[random crag]

Would you kindly like it? I missed it I guess unless you mean the website thing?

[grand comet]

and that will either be a Full Trailer or a teaser and then we get a Full Trailer on launch itself which has happened before. But in reality I have a really strong feeling we'll see a trailer drop 2 weeks before and just screenshots tomorrow, if we are lucky maybe a small clip of something specific but that would be in itself very telling. Even just a screenshot by itself of in game itself no matter where it is will be extremely telling so if tomorrow is anything more than just concept art it'll be huge without a trailer

[glacial ermine]

look in the announcement chat ced posted it there

[random crag]

Ty, sir

[pastel hemlock]

ello

[cerulean bloom]

When will the official save be released?

[dark raft]

I hope we get at least a Screenshot from a Dodo on the Beach for Asa

[glacial ermine]

if we get a trailer tomorrow that would be great

[tough yarrow]

Check here and see
https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/server-backups/

[pseudo lava]

why is my rock drake suddenly unable to dash? got like 1000 hours on aberration and never had this issue, i just put a saddle on this new one and for about 5 mins i could dash no problem but now he just can't
the crosshair thing doesnt come up any more and if i try to do it anyway he just bites midair

[cerulean bloom]

the save is from August, a save would come out today.

[tough yarrow]

I didn't say that the save was out. I said you could check there. They'll let us know in #announcements usually.

[rapid kestrel]

is ark Acended coming to gamepass on launch?

[summer vector]

man im upgrading my pc for ASA it better be good

25 days away with no photos

i think it'll come out in december

[steady cloak]

what specs you going for?

[summer vector]

im just upgrading my cpu from a ryzen 5 1500x to a ryzen 5 5600x

then im gonna upgrade my gpu later

if i upgrade my gpu now i dont think it'll be worth it

i kinda upgrade slowly each birthday or christmas or something like that

[oblique solstice]

hey all. Did they confirm which maps will be avilable at launch?

[mighty abyss]

Anyone wanna play on Xbox since I’m bored

[devout quiver]

@mighty abyss I'm down

[plain crown]

I’m an old man be nice……. What do they mean with server saves? Like I can access my old server from a certain point and retrieve my tames etc from that moment?

[steady cloak]

pretty much

[chrome kernel]

hoping that once all server stuff from ASE is done we finally see somethign on ASA

[silent matrix]

i can't seem to find any source, but is there any news on system requirements for ASA?

[chrome kernel]

I might sound stupid. But I'll say its probs best to assume that the game might be easier to run or the same due to UE5.
UE5 will make the game look better and perform better but due to its graphical upgrades might also make it harder???

[silent matrix]

yeah that's what i figured, i'm not sure if my pc can run

especially my 1060 haha, old bastard

[cunning patrol]

@heavy cedar gameplay in the next community crunch ?

[chrome kernel]

like I can run ASE but im also like??? will it be harder cus of UE5? or easier because of UE5? cus my understanding is that UE5 makes it easier but its also going to look better lmao

[silent matrix]

yeah exactly

very contradicting

[chrome kernel]

probs best to say it will probs perform the same and look better slightly

[silent matrix]

nonetheless the bugs make ark, ark, so that'll be fun

[chrome kernel]

at least they have openly said that the first thing they will focus on is bug fixing

[silent matrix]

people asking for a no-bug game don't appreciate the bob days

and god bless the primitive state and no transfer from launch

i actually saw a comment of someone suggesting transfers only open during limited hours, which to me sounds like the perfect balance between servertransfers and community building

like for example you can transfer betwen 18:00 and 22:00 or something

[chrome kernel]

I wish it stays that way. Kind of wishing that it stays primitive. I dont mind tek but the other maps and titans and other alien like creatures kinda push me away

just want land bases to be back and the game to feel that dinosaurs are your biggest threat again. When I first played ARK the tribe in the server with a giga was like a country with nukes today. You didn't mess with them unless you had equal power otherwise they would just come along on that thing and munch u away

[silent matrix]

yeah and when the whole alliance mechanic was actually fun instead of total hell

[chrome kernel]

now its all cave bases and titan wipes

[silent matrix]

or the managaganaamanagaar

[chrome kernel]

and you had server politics and had tribes join together to form alliances and come together to protect the server

[oblique solstice]

did you look at the Survive the Ark? All the new info is there

[chrome kernel]

Is that the recent crunch? I did

the QnA

i was talking about more or so a trailer or more gameplay info now that ASE server files are out and done

[oblique solstice]

jut try to think positive. I know we ll have PTSD from Ark but lets keep faith that it will be amazing!

[summer vector]

im excited for the new foliage and dynamic water

[mighty abyss]

Ok sorry I am late I was doing smt

[oblique solstice]

I guess you didnt read the whole thing, they cover all that lol

[summer vector]

interacting with foliage rather than clipping though it

[chrome kernel]

they never put a date on when more stuff will be released despite the game is coming out at the end of october and we will see stuff before the release.

[summer vector]

pretty much they say :
"wait til the end of october when we release gameplay footage the day we release the game 🤪🤪"
god i hate that emoji

[chrome kernel]

so i was just thinking maybe now that ASE is completely done cus the server files are now out we might see something sooon

[oblique solstice]

yes, so you can expect those to release within the next few weeks, I agree, its odd they arent putting dates on it. But we will all be playin in a few weeks!

[silent matrix]

curious to see if nooblets' theory holds up

[chrome kernel]

like in the next week

[chrome kernel]

yeah just excited

[summer vector]

what video?

[silent matrix]

his most recent one talking about the deal snail made with nitrado

[oblique solstice]

oh for sure!! U playing official or private? I am about to breath life into my old servers. I took them down when they announced all this so its been a long wait!

[chrome kernel]

I want to have my hopes up I do, but ive been dissapointed by too many games the last 5 years when ive pre-ordered them and turned out terrible and promises not kept up at all.

[silent matrix]

he analysed the contract, and curious to see how that plays out

[oblique solstice]

not Starfield!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉

[chrome kernel]

Official. This will be my first return to ARK since the first release of Ragnarok.

[glacial ermine]

i think its 25th or 27th now even more after that announcement

[high harbor]

This week Community Crunch?
So tomorrow?

[chrome kernel]

there is a CC tomorrow???

[oblique solstice]

cool, thats awesome! Which maps are releasing on release day?

[summer vector]

ohhh ok thanks

[silent matrix]

does that release on friday or saturday? it shows up on my steam on saturday

[chrome kernel]

The island is the only map on release and then Scortched earth in december thats all ik was confirmed

[high harbor]

As usual, each friday

[chrome kernel]

lets gooo, im not familiar with the CC stuff ive only recently got back into ark cus of ASA

[silent matrix]

maybe screenshots, definetly no trailer

[oblique solstice]

booooo, thats not what was said at first, correct me if im wrong but werent Island, Scorched and Center supposed to release at the same time? Man, idk if The Island is enough to get me to come back, honestly. Im kind of tired of that map, no offense to those who still love it. Its just, SO MANY HOURS on island lol

[silent matrix]

with the new cave rework it might be fun?

the dynamic being dragged back to the good old ark where people don't hide in caves

[chrome kernel]

yeah pretty sure that it was just island only

[oblique solstice]

yeah, I need to look into what exactly is going to be different

[glacial ermine]

i'll be doing a video when it comes out of me looking around

[oblique solstice]

this was like back when they first announced it and didnt know wtf they were going to do yet lol. That Q and A.... sheesh, no shame

Is anyone interested in private servers?

[chrome kernel]

yeah from what i read in the recent cc it was just the island and then se in december

[silent matrix]

i play singleplayer on the classic legacy rates

[oblique solstice]

interesting

[silent matrix]

0.25x xp is honestly quite fun

makes the best part (early game) drag out longer

[oblique solstice]

yeah but noone to play with

[silent matrix]

i'll speed it up as i go, but for now its fun

sure, so i better make good friends with my dinos

makes losing them all the more personal

[oblique solstice]

I feel like the community really make the game what it is. I get so bored alone lol

[oblique solstice]

haha for sure!

[silent matrix]

yeah true, but these private servers on pc are mostly modded or unbalanced

and honestly feel instable, 'cause when they pull the plug you lose all your hours

[oblique solstice]

mine are xbox. low boosted rates, no mods

[chrome kernel]

I wont touch any unofficial server that has stupidly increased stats

[silent matrix]

takes all the fun out

no value in a dino unless i spent at least 60 minutes guarding it with my life

[oblique solstice]

for sure, we just boost harvest to 3 or 4x to speed things up a bit for players who dont have all the time needed to play on official

[chrome kernel]

not only that but i feel like it breeds only PvP as the feeling of something being valuable is lost. So you dont really care as much about ur tames or base

[chrome kernel]

yeah idm like a little boosted

[oblique solstice]

I however, have a lot of time so I may get on official this time. I hear there is real world money to be made from breeding dinos for people😉

[silent matrix]

is there?

isn't that against the coc?

[chrome kernel]

was about to say is that not against coc?

[oblique solstice]

oh god yes... people pay A LOT for certain dinos. People have made full time jobs of it

[silent matrix]

the cross-platform will also be a fun addition when they do add server transfers

[oblique solstice]

idk, just know people do it.

[chrome kernel]

probs not the best thing to brag about it or saying you are going to

just incase

[silent matrix]

pc will obviously dominate with more accurate controls, so that'll be something

[oblique solstice]

as far as I know there is nothing wrong with it or no rules against it

ive never played on offical before

[chrome kernel]

hmmm, as a PC player (getting the game on windows) I do say that there is not really a significant difference between console players and M&K especially since xbox allows for M&k

[oblique solstice]

yes, I have learned form Sea of Thieves that cross platform in PVP games is BAD for us xbox players haha

[silent matrix]

yeah true but pc's performance can vary due to different specs, so they could potentionally have better settings like rendering and all that

[night cairn]

There is definitely rules against it

[oblique solstice]

is there? How is it so popular then? I heard about it all the time on ASE

[silent matrix]

maybe i'll give official another go then on asa

[night cairn]

Oh people definitely do it my buddy used to buy Dino's all the time but if your caught you can get a ban etc

[oblique solstice]

oh ok, I didnt know

[frail ravine]

Yo buying Dino is soo unfair tho lol

[silent matrix]

yeah and a waste of money

[night cairn]

And 100% not worth it

[silent matrix]

how does one have enough money to spare to buy virtual creatures that might die or get lost in glitches?

and how are you going to explain to wc that a dino that you bought with irl money disappeared and you need it back?

[frail ravine]

Yea that is some lazy stuff lmao takes the fun out of the game

[night cairn]

A friend of mine paid like 100 dollars for a giga and nearly drowned it within an hour

[silent matrix]

jeez

[night cairn]

I thought he was nuts

[chrome kernel]

💀 I kinda would be hoping that it died ngl. It is rather silly to buy a dinosuar using IRL money

[frail ravine]

And that's karma

[oblique solstice]

I did not know this was frowned upon either lol. I heard about it so often I just thought its part of the community

[chrome kernel]

in fact i would be that one tribe mate to kill it so the person who brought it can get a quick reality check

[night cairn]

We all were at the time he bought it coz it was all cyan like I don't even think it had crazy stats or anything

[silent matrix]

hahaha or kite it somewhere dangerous

[final panther]

It is completely discouraged. You can be banned for buying and selling. As such, any discussions about RMT are not allowed.

[silent matrix]

what's rmt?

[frail ravine]

And now on Asa there won't be a cap on mutations I think soo it will be even more scummy

[chrome kernel]

I assume that only invovles IRL currency and not in game currency or in game trading materials

[final panther]

Real Money Transactions (including things worth money).

[lament cloud]

there will be for officials and no one is goonna do it for unofficials lol

[silent matrix]

ah ok, thanks 🙂

[final panther]

Trading in game for in game is fine.

[oblique solstice]

oh dang lol

[silent matrix]

"how much fiber for a 225 argy"

[chrome kernel]

what if i made a crypto called CP and it became equal to 1 dollar?

[silent matrix]

any good servers

the official network seems good now

[final panther]

So, going to have to ask any discussions about people buying and selling for cash and cash equivalents stop.

[chrome kernel]

oop

[frail ravine]

Yea but a smart clan won't give you something op if it's not a good swap

[silent matrix]

any good servers

[night cairn]

I can't wait for a good old fashioned poly or metal grind for a Dino or egg

[silent matrix]

an egg is even more so a bad deal early game

anything can happen

[gloomy steeple]

Does anyone know if it costs extra to cluster servers on Nitrado?

[night cairn]

Well there aren't any yet if your asking about asa lol

[final panther]

You can try #1110925695900713072

[frail ravine]

Still thinking platform wars are going to be a thing

On Asa lol

[night cairn]

@gloomy steeple it costs per server yea so if you have a 10 slot server it's 10 per one you own

[final panther]

Previously, you paid for each server. The ability to cluster was included (if you had more than one).

[final panther]

I remember when it was stupid easy to accidentally eat them.

[gloomy steeple]

I had 4 different servers. I’m wondering if I can add them on the Nitrado. I’m attempting to get it set up

[night cairn]

Totally ate a giga egg or 2 in my time

[dreamy cypress]

Potentially, ps and Xbox wars gonna go crazy😤

For the console only cluster*

[silent matrix]

or let alone when wyvern eggs didn't ask you to confirm eating them

fuck that caused so many rage quits

[final panther]

Definitely make you have to choose between raging and crying...or both.

[final panther]

You mean you have .ark files and want to rent 4 servers and upload them? If so, yes, you should be able to do that.

[frail ravine]

It's gonna be fun tho 🤪

[final panther]

Though, you will want to upload the tribe and profile files also.

[dreamy cypress]

You gonna play the console only?

[frail ravine]

No got alot of mates on pc aswell

[gloomy steeple]

Ahh I need to figure out how to do that then.

[dreamy cypress]

Fair enough, hopefully the esp and aimbot get fixed

[frail ravine]

Yea fingers crossed 🤞

[final panther]

Nitrado has a guide, if I recall correctly, but, it isn't that hard.

[oblique solstice]

Hey are you mostly PvE or PvP

[gloomy steeple]

I’m searching for it now. I really appreciate your help! I’m new to this. Lol

[tawdry wave]

Hello, can I make Castors and Doedicurus farm automatically without me riding them?

[frail ravine]

Pve is fun but I like getting destroyed not gonna lie

[final panther]

All of us were, once. Just start slow, and make sure to backup your data if making big changes.

[frail ravine]

Hope we don't get another delay

[gloomy steeple]

Thank you so much @final panther

[buoyant mortar]

Me too bro I’m hyped and ready for launch

[oblique solstice]

I think Ill get more into PvP this time around. Mostly play Pve... But I also have have to finish all the other maps. Maybe ill just have PvP on Island

[buoyant mortar]

Hopefully they got cheating under control

[obtuse fractal]

I really hope we get a release date soon... I need 2 weeks to book time off ☠️

[buoyant mortar]

Yup I got 9 off days to use

And get more beginning of new year too

[obtuse fractal]

8.5 here 😛
But can't use them if I don't know when 😦

[frail ravine]

Yea island is best place too start

[obtuse fractal]

Also same ;}

But gotta save them days for Ashes of creation

[buoyant mortar]

Same ion wanna book it early and it get delayed

Never heard of that game

[obtuse fractal]

😮

[buoyant mortar]

But I’m new to pc gaming

[frail ravine]

Ark is not a game it's a lifestyle

[buoyant mortar]

I’m coming from Xbo

Xbox

[obtuse fractal]

Ahh, it's an upcoming MMORPG but I won't say anything else since this is an ark specific channel 😄

[buoyant mortar]

Lol

True

[frail ravine]

But it's been time since I played like a year and a half soo I'm really hyped not gonna lie

[buoyant mortar]

What y’all think they will do to caves to balance it

[silent matrix]

wow wow wow wow, i was re-reading the faq, and no levelling of players of movement speed on the official network??

[frail ravine]

Not sure gonna be tricky

[silent matrix]

so movement speed will remain capped at 100%?

[oblique solstice]

should only be for movement speed

[buoyant mortar]

Yes sir

Movement only

[silent matrix]

how will i run from the horrendous troodon?

[frail ravine]

I see this as good no more Ferrari characters lmao

[silent matrix]

all points in stamina then

[frail ravine]

All you need is melee

No more running from my hands

[silent matrix]

Mr. Mega Hands

[frail ravine]

Well look at my name it can tell you alot

[chrome kernel]

PvP

[dreamy cypress]

Fr, before you could tell if someone’s melee cause they slower then a turtle now they not gonna see it coming😂

[frail ravine]

Rockumsockum then knockem

[dreamy linden]

What is the point in a cluster? Does your character/inventory carry over into each server within the cluster?

[quaint patio]

It will not be fixed, it’s impossible. They probably haven’t done much to anti-cheat as well as it is difficult. Console only is the way to go and then not to worry about it

[slate widget]

clusters are groups of servers you can transfer items/dinos/survivors between.
singleplayer works as a solo cluster

[dreamy cypress]

Ye that’s what I was thinking, most of my friends including my tribe wanna play the console only for the cheating reason

[quaint patio]

Same here. Small tribes console only is the way to go. Majority of the console community will most likely choose console only 1x or Smalls

[dreamy cypress]

Yeah endless problems that come with pc, Hard INI, aimbot, esp, and more. I would be very surprised if the console side of full cross play is more popping

[jovial isle]

Its literally going to be released at the end of Oct on the 31st huh

[dreamy cypress]

How you know that🤔

[wintry crane]

is that you'r pic you so cute

🫂

[dreamy cypress]

Oh no, my pet monke

[wintry crane]

what thats not human oh dam

[jovial isle]

Just a guess lol. releases are usually on Tuesdays. so im expecting either the 24th or 31st

[novel sandal]

Where can I find the retired server downloads? Thank you!

[slate widget]

official saves can be found on nitrado for consoles/win10.

[novel sandal]

@slate widget are they available now?

[slate widget]

should be, #announcements

[vale monolith]

how do in use the saved server files on my pc

[slate widget]

there is a guide on the download page.

[vale monolith]

all i see is this Right-click on ARK: Survival Evolved > Properties > General Tab > Launch Options and paste this command line: -newsaveformat -usestore

it dosent show where to put the files

[slate widget]

steamapps/common/ARK/shootergame/saved
thats where your saves are. each map should be in its own folder.

[vale monolith]

thank you

[molten quartz]

So with move speed being capped I bet we see alot more survivors using focal chili in pvp

Does anyone know what ue5 specs will be required yet?

[slate widget]

they haven't said whats ASA's min spec is yet.

[sharp stream]

What can I use green gems for?

I have like 500 and dont know what they do

[slate widget]

basilisk saddle, glow stick, roll rat saddle, tek phase pistol, and gasoline (gas-crafted).
if they are normal green gems and not fragmented then also the climbing picks

[sharp stream]

are climbing picks useful?

[slate widget]

they are kinda buggy but you can climb like a deino

[glacial ermine]

hopefully we get something big announced tomorrow

[sharp stream]

Whats a good way to farm levels for your dinos?

[slate widget]

PvP or PvE, any map or specific map?

@sharp stream

[sharp stream]

pve crystal isles

[slate widget]

I think just killing things nothing to note XP wise there.

[sharp stream]

alright

[slate widget]

if you can switch it to PvP, kill baby dinos after unclaiming them.

[sharp stream]

should be easy with a kapro

I honestly dont even know if pve is on

I only play singleplayer anyway

[slate widget]

it defaults to off I'm pretty sure.

PvP being on I mean.

[sharp stream]

can otters be used instead of torches/air conditioner?

[random crag]

When on your shoulder, yes. But only for you

Dimentradon (the short lookin spino things) are AC units too. Pump melee on em to increase the effect.

[sharp stream]

are those the weird swamp creatures with a fin on its back?

[safe osprey]

Yeah, three of them close to each other put an egg in the middle of them and it will hatch most eggs

[sharp stream]

Its too bad I'm nowhere near any swamps

[vale monolith]

so can you get your survivor back and play your game local

[safe osprey]

I’m a Swamp Donkey. It’s where I live. Almost every time I get on the island.

The frogs are my favorite mount, I usually try to raise up 20+ of them so that I can ride with the frog gang. It’s a blast.

[versed needle]

Random question. but when it comes to my own hosted server through gportal, can I still play on that with official servers down? Kinda stupid question, but I figured I can’t play on it since it’s technically an official server??? Am I understanding myself correctly I guess is the better question

[sharp stream]

Gonna go farm spoiled meat with a vulture

several sources are saying they decrease and increase spoil times

thats not confusing at all

[slate widget]

unofficial and singleplayer aren't effected.

[versed needle]

It’s not an unofficial server and it’s not a single player

[slate widget]

you renting a server is unofficial.

anything not wildcard/snail is unofficial.

[versed needle]

Like I got kicked off my server when they went down and I can’t find it

[sharp stream]

oh well, atleast they also work as a mobile fridge

[versed needle]

And it doesn’t show up on unofficial servers?

[slate widget]

the server browser is bad. join via IP

[safe osprey]

Where do you find a vultures on the island?

[versed needle]

That’s also not my issue

[slate widget]

they aren't on the island.

[versed needle]

My boyfriend already tried to do it on his end when we got kicked off

[sharp stream]

No idea, I'm in crystal isles

[versed needle]

My server is also still up and running through g-portal

[sharp stream]

I think they're only found in hot areas like deserts

[safe osprey]

I’m relatively new to the game so I started focusing on the island because they say that it’s gonna be the map that’s going to be released with ASA. So I’m trying to get to know it.

[umbral spruce]

Viking bay on rag is my favourite taming spot

[sharp stream]

I used to always spawn in viking bay

[umbral spruce]

That cave

[sharp stream]

I once decided to do highlands and literally couldnt find anything

besides gigas, sheep, and vegatables

[slate widget]

if its not showing up on the browser, join via IP. chances are its just not showing because the server browser is bad.

[umbral spruce]

Flying to Highlands on a Griffin to get mutton for carno tames, ahh good memories

[versed needle]

I said that it doesn’t let me because again, nothing comes up lmaooo

It literally doesn’t let us 😂

[glacial ermine]

do you think we could see the next poll start tomorrow

[slate widget]

you're checking through steam's server browser? then probably restart it.
officials shutting down won't have effected it

[versed needle]

Yes, through steams server browser

It’s been restarted like 3 times now 😂😭 we gave up all week

That’s so weird

I’ll just have to continue waiting for ASA😂😭

[slate widget]

its probably not fully starting I don't know how to troubleshoot rented servers lol

[versed needle]

Yea ion mess with this shit 💀

[tough yarrow]

How are you checking via IP?

[versed needle]

Not a question for me tbh. My boyfriend takes care of it

He sat there for hours after I went to bed trying to figure it out bc we had just renewed our server lmao

[half bobcat]

guys how do i find the map i had my character on it disapeared

[sharp stream]

um, what?

yeah uh, next time remember to upload your survivor to an obelisk

[versed needle]

There’s a tab in bottom left hand corner that you can choose the option “my character” and it should pop up the server your character was last on

[chrome grove]

anyone else having trouble with the server saves?

[vale monolith]

i have the server save working local 🙂 im wondering is there a command so i can own all the other buildings.

[chrome grove]

I only got LostIsland to work and the difference is, all other maps had files that were basically blank (1kb each)

[tawny turtle]

@heavy cedar @tall minnow @viral shore i once again for the 1000th time ask when we gonna get to see that sick gameplay trailer

[hot vale]

More importantly, when will we get to see thatch windowframe gameplay

[supple whale]

They will tell u for the 1000th time that we will get a trailer closer to launch lol

[hot vale]

Classic WC moment

Well Ark is supposed to be suspenseful

[supple whale]

I mean they did tell us many times we will see a trailer closer to release of the game which is at most 3 weeks away

But people keep asking still lol

[hot vale]

Dont they know that Ark players dont have alot of patience

After being harassed by seagulls and troodons for like 8 years we have run out of it, luckily for me only 3 years

[supple whale]

Oh Im sure they know lol i want abb released already for asa and the base game isnt even out yet😂😂😂

[hot vale]

Those island enjoyers will be very pleased

[supple whale]

When abb first came out i transfered to rag with a max drake egg to go to blue ob to trade someone with it and a seagull ate it and ever since ive hated them

If wc decided to take them out of the game i woudnt care at all

[hot vale]

You know I just realized that the dynamic water might not be so good for our mental health, instead of swimming away from piranhas we will just be pushed back towards them so they can proceed to nibble our toes and be the bane of our existences

[hot vale]

Troodons killed my first tame

[supple whale]

I have nightmares bc of troodons

[hot vale]

Then seconds later I got jumped by a bary, then seconds later I deleted that save file and pretended it never happened

For a little more context, this all happened at night and I couldnt see a thing, my first mistake was being mezmerized by those shiny eyes in the trees

[supple whale]

I remember the first time I spawned on island it put me near the swamp and a kapro jumped at me and i almost had a heart attack

Alot of good but yet scary memories 😂 who knew a dino game would be scary

[hot vale]

They need to include new extreme zones of the spawn in menu, basically anywhere where kapros spawn

[supple whale]

I think otters should take over kapro and seagull spawns for 24 hours

With that being said i cant wait to see a UE 5 otter

[hot vale]

I still remember my first time on scorched earth and I was heading to that tiny little lake by the green obelisk, I thought surely there couldnt be any kapros here right, I mean theres no duckies, no otters, no pelagornis, oh how i was wrong

[supple whale]

I know theres more to ark then otters but still😂

[hot vale]

Im the same with jerboas dont feel bad

[supple whale]

Dont ever think ur safe at obs😂😂

[supple whale]

Otters and sinos for me😁

[hot vale]

Yeah scorched was really rough, a couple of times I didnt even get to finish the spawn in animation, I had already been mauled by terror birds, dire wolves and sabers

Thinking back on all my ark moments over the last few years, I kindve wish I had recorded them now

[supple whale]

Ah terror birds... Ive always hated them😂

[sharp stream]

is a deinonychus a good tame?

[supple whale]

That the big gator?

[sharp stream]

no

[supple whale]

Or raptor

[sharp stream]

its a giant raptor covered in feathers

with a bleeding effect

[supple whale]

Oh yes it is

[hot vale]

Bleed stack, pack boost, pack roar, mate boost, climbing, reduced fall damage, and insane speed

[void dove]

Zero fall damage

[sharp stream]

sounds like I should've tamed the rest of the pack too

[supple whale]

Was thinking of giant gator that a modder made Has a similar name cant wait to use that on console 😁

[sharp stream]

the other 2 deinos got killed by a carbonemys 💀

[supple whale]

😂😭

[hot vale]

Wild deinons are so agressive tho, I watched a few kill allos and rexes

[supple whale]

Carbo Is built diff

Built like a potato

[hot vale]

Yeah carbos are suprisingly strong

[sharp stream]

meanwhile I saw 2 of them get solo'd by a carbo

[hot vale]

Deinosuchus

Yeah, I cant wait to finally be able to use mods

My time has come

[sharp stream]

I think I saw a deinosuchus in a swamp

[hot vale]

To be strong

[supple whale]

Yes that it looks sweet i want it

[sharp stream]

while going back to my base after taming an otter

[supple whale]

Thats smaller one the sarco

Think of that but 3 times bigger

[hot vale]

But dont you play on pc, you have the pc icon next to ur name

[sharp stream]

dont deinosuchus just leave their mouth open for you to hand feed them?

[oak girder]

bro why does my giga i just tamed have like 20% damage?

[sharp stream]

I think tamed gigas are different from wild ones

in terms of stats

maybe wild ones would be too op to have

[hot vale]

Bc if tamed gigas kept their wild stats then they would be too broken

[supple whale]

I did changed back to ps my pc wasnt strong enough for ark😂

[hot vale]

Ah, I see

[sharp stream]

do stimberries actually affect dino hunger

or does it just make them poop more (Incredibly useful with phiomia)

[hot vale]

I used to play on xbox one which didnt run that well and then during a thunderstorm a strike of lightning hit close to my house and fried it somehow so now I have a series x which runs much better

[hot vale]

This ability is exclusive to phiomia I believe

[sharp stream]

the same thing happened with a few other dinos I have

turns out the other deino didnt die, probably because the first one drained the carbos health to 1/3

oh wait

do deinonychus aggro towards unconscious deinonychus (Both are in the same pack)

[tough yarrow]

Stimberries increase stamina at the cost of food drain.

The poop thing with stimberries is only phiomas. Other dinos will poop a tiny bit more, but only piggies will spam poop.

[sharp stream]

so phiomias + stimberries is basically just a fertilizer machine

[tough yarrow]

Yes

That's the phioma's purpose lol

[sharp stream]

alright

[hot vale]

Hold on if you increase the poop multiplier does that apply to the phiomia's ability

[sour jolt]

Do yall prefer Ab Rockwell with or without a voice?

[sharp stream]

maybe

[sharp stream]

what does pack roar do?

and how many are needed for it to be a pack

[wide stump]

Pretty sure it just gives a small buff

Also I reckon just 2

[dreamy cypress]

20 is base melee for gigas just like base melee is 100 for other creatures, I don’t see why they don’t keep the base 100 just for vanity sake but it actually does “20” melee worth of damage

[sharp stream]

so are deinos just buffed raptors

[wide stump]

Pretty much

They just slapped a bunch of crap on a raptor😂

Pretty cool tho

[sharp stream]

including size and a bunch of feathers

[wide stump]

Ye

Good Dino to have tho, they can be pretty useful

[harsh phoenix]

I like to do the phiomia paired with dung beetles. More fertilizer than I know what to do with

[oak girder]

dang

[hot vale]

Do you have to put oil in the beetle’s inventory for it to make fert, Tbh i never really looked into it

[past sentinel]

No just poop, but it is a slow go.

[hot vale]

Ok thanks, I dont know where I got the oil in inventory part from

[wide stump]

I use the old fashioned toilet

Gets the job done

[hot vale]

you know, you could just increase the poop multiplier too 10p

100*

lol

[autumn kelp]

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

[harsh phoenix]

I like it because I just level the beetles in weight, load with poop and leave. Come back later to lots of fertilizer.

[wide stump]

Oh, I just load up a toilet get a buddy, and the poop flies out like rockets😂

Or meant fert but ye

[harsh phoenix]

I've done that too. Sadly, It seemed to bug out on me if I misclicked or something. Could have just been me though

[oak girder]

should i tame a beaver?

[solid vessel]

Hell yeah

[stiff niche]

algum br ai?

[sharp stream]

pelagornis or pteranodon for travelling?

[silent matrix]

ptero has always more use, we dont know in ASA by no speed leveling 🙃

[sharp stream]

I'll just use pelagornis for fish then

[silent matrix]

with pelagonis you can swim on top of water

Is there no Community Crunch this week?

[silent matrix]

PT aqui

[sour jolt]

Do yall prefer Rockwell when he was just a growly/roaring monster, or do you like that he has some sentience and a voice now?

[sour jolt]

Pela should be tamed before Ptera lets be honest

[silent matrix]

whats pela? if ptero it might be like the 2º dino you want to tame at start, for explore, get harder resources, but mostly faster exp by explorer notes run, it worth it

[sour jolt]

Pelagornis, Pelican dude

Slower, less health, but can swim

Better as a starter flyer imo

[silent matrix]

ptero has always my ninja for starter, can risk it all all time 😂

[loud spear]

Anyone know if ASA is going to have tethering in single player?

[grizzled narwhal]

does anyone know if the dino storage mod soul gun kills gestation?

[stiff niche]

do not kill

Who is experienced in Ark PvP?

i need help

[rocky sable]

So when they say there will be console only servers does that mean no windows players on pc can play those?

[stiff niche]

i don't think so

[sullen dune]

Yeah, there will be Servers only for xbox and ps

[rocky sable]

Great, thanks

[sharp gull]

Wait will ASA be on Xbox game pass or no?

[stiff dust]

We aren’t sure yet

[hot vale]

pelagornis is good for poly gathering

[hot vale]

probably not at first no

Not for a while

But maybe there will be a sale going on at the end of October who knows, I got ark for like idk a huge percent off bc of a sale, it was great

[burnt flint]

is there a way to play on a private server between me and my friend with crossplay between epic and steam?

[shrewd agate]

What happened to the Appalachia mod map? I recall the author saying that his map would be the first unofficial DLC map to come to ASA on lauch, but I guess that has changed since we're only getting the Island. Anyone know?

[stiff dust]

Quick question, with singleplayer worlds is it normal if I activate the Halloween event that the cooking pot doesn’t have any requirements to make chibis or anything in there for that matter?

And will the Dododex still spawn or is it only when the actual event was live?

[cold elbow]

Does anyone know why my irrigation stop working after around an hour or so

it is irrigated to a pond btw on lost island just @ me if yk

[prisma sand]

Have you tried refreshing the connection

[cold elbow]

yes

it worked but only abt half way up the pipes

the rest are not irrigated for some reason

[stiff summit]

Best way to tame a carcha? Should I trap it or just keep it free running?

I know the taming method but I'm just curious which way is best

[stiff dust]

It’s best to make a trap. There’s a few trap models on YouTube

[real current]

I found this https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Advanced_*NPCSpawnEntriesContainer_usage which some people have been using to edit their creature spawns and minimum level of wild dinos in both SP and their servers. The problem is, I don't understand how to string those together. How do I increase both spawn rate and set all wild dino levels to 150 in Valguero? I know the containers and the entity IDs. I just can't string them together properly.

[stiff summit]

Alright sweet, thanks

[olive thunder]

Y’all know of any populated unofficial pvp servers? All of the unofficial servers are just plain dead.

[prisma sand]

You don’t. You just have to go collect it all from your corpse

[marsh void]

hello, anyone knows good breeding settings that works for all dinos?

[prisma sand]

There will be a bag with your belongings at the location. You don’t lose your stuff.

Unless you allow the bag to despawn due to the timer dropping to 0

That’s the way it is. I don’t know what else to tell you.

My best guess is without that mechanic you’d be able to fast travel across the map with all of your farmed resources and belongings which would be extremely broken

[unborn girder]

its probably the most common death system for survival games. conan exiles, raft, dayz, 7 days, etc...

[barren geyser]

I’d guess it’s partially so dying has consequences to give you more incentive to make armour get good dinos ext to stay alive. But Yh it’s common. It better than some other games that don’t even tell you were you’ve died so you have to hope you remember where you were

[undone wren]

So you want something with no consequences? Boring.

[unborn girder]

minecraft lol.. oh you died in a deep dark cave 4k blocks away? good luck

[barren geyser]

And has yo your stuff scattered everywhere rather than in a neat little bag

[potent edge]

That's all? How about being able to drink water from a pool of stagnant swamp water, full of leeches, that you and your dino just pooped in, without boiling it.

How come I can build a Tek saddle for my T Rex that fires pew pews but cant make a lid for a honey jar that will preserve it for years?

[worn sequoia]

Just get a mod that allows all your items to stay on you upon death

[unborn girder]

solid questions lol, but remember its just a game at the end of the dayt

[worn sequoia]

There’s literally a mod for everything

Just like minecraft in a way if people want it theres probably a mod for it

[unborn girder]

Im sure there is. It cant be that hard if there isnt, either

[worn sequoia]

Im sure when asa drops people will try to port a whole heap of the ase mods across

So we wont have to worry too much if we give mod devs time to port and update

[unborn girder]

For sure

[unkempt kettle]

Hi there, Someone to play my singleplayer hosted? I wanna do the full run through all maps, starting from the island. I'm from italy so maybe someone from my timezone is better to play together!!! DM me for more info!!

[stuck moat]

how did yall move on from official to unofficial? i've never played unofficial before so i'm not sure. not sure why all the servers are like 0/50 0/70 or just with some chinese players with 110/130 players online

all the links people share in this discord to join their unofficial servers are like "unable to connect to server, app id specified by server is invalid"

[unkempt kettle]

right now is not easy thats why i'm going to play on my map

[unborn girder]

unofficial is pretty dead at this point in the game. pretty much evreyone is just waiting for asa and playing single player or pve in the meantime

[shrewd agate]

Im playing on AstralArk which has always had a pretty good population. When I first started on unofficials, I never looked back.

[hollow juniper]

Does anyone know which teleport location in asgard is closest to the obelisk?

[obsidian grotto]

is it possible for me to transfer an ark map and make into an uinofficial server?

[marsh void]

Anyone knows how to enable Fear Evolved event on my dedicated server with all creatures events and stuff, I wrote event enable argument ir server args but it just enables skins but not the events.

[silver oak]

ARK Classic PVP x1 This is the name of a non-official server with official settings

so if you miss the classics this is what you need

[topaz mango]

i am missing ark rn, cant wait for AsA to launch

are we there yet :p

[unborn girder]

same :/

[humble torrent]

How does the fear evolved work on the Fjordor map? We have activated it on our server but we don’t know/understand how it works yet

[indigo robin]

not yet :>

[median cloak]

It enables the event colors for wild Dino’s. If you do a Dino wipe after you enable it you should start seeing wild Dino’s with more orange, black, brown shades, stuff like that.

[deft holly]

anyone knows if ban list of offi will apply to 1.5 or not?

[random crag]

Imagine getting banned to begin with 🤣 wouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing...

[deft holly]

i got banned despite not doing anything nor being aware, but thanks for the contribution

[random crag]

I treat this situation the same as similar ones. Most criminals in prison say they didn't do anything wrong either shrug

[deft holly]

that's fine, but i got banned at the start of the new servers when they were blanket banning whole tribes

[random crag]

Conq?

[deft holly]

nope

official servers that just got shut down

[random crag]

🤔

[deft holly]

it's before the enforcement team got put up so i can't ask to get unbanned

it's when devs were just banning whole tribes to send a message lol

i had a buddy who joined us, played about 10 hours on the server and was still a complete noob, he got banned too

[random crag]

Whoa, now... bullying bobs goes too far

[prisma sand]

You should really look into how many innocent men have spent a quarter of their lives in prison for a crime they didn’t commit.

It’s a disgusting fact of life

[random crag]

I probably should. But we can't just assume people in prison are innocent either. After conviction, to me, it's guilty until proven innocent. AFTER, mind you.

[harsh quarry]

Best way to level up rexes for boss fights?

[unborn girder]

explorer notes then meat runs

[jagged granite]

Old arks data is saved?

[barren patrol]

If you mean the data from the official servers, yes they've been saved.

[silent matrix]

Wait so we can load the official server world on singleplayer?

[barren patrol]

Yes. There are pinned messages somewhere on how to do it.

I just don't know the actual channel bc I didn't play on official

[silent matrix]

What ini part do i have ro change if i want creatures to have infinite weight? Or at least insane high

[glad blaze]

god ceratosaurus taming is such a fucking pain

tried twice, first time accidentally soul balled my guy at 99% drunkenness, tried again and another completely unrelated cerato came in and killed the dino i was using, which is fine cuz i got the 135 drunk but i go down to feed it accidentally clip into it and it despawns

like holy fuck this is infuriating

[radiant ravine]

Is there a release date? Google said 2024 is rather accurate?

[thorn river]

is ASA ark 2 or is it gonna be another game?

[tough yarrow]

ASA releases end of this month.

Ark2 releases 2024.

[thorn river]

2027? 🙃

[tough yarrow]

2024 😂

[thorn river]

facts

[silent matrix]

Theres no way, count in all Current DLCs and new one at least, then maybe somehting... sadly

[tough yarrow]

Ark2 will probably be delayed tbf, but officially all we have is 2024

[thorn river]

from my pov they will use ASA money to fund ark 2

[tough yarrow]

They already said in the FAQ that ASA was also to help generate income for ARK2 lol

It's in the link above.

[silent matrix]

ASA might be the real ARK2 work start but them pushed back, has they say full fresh game code both UE5

[tough yarrow]

Asa and ark2 are separate games

Read the crunch

[silent matrix]

2029, 6 years for ARK2 get right, if have campain and normal survival games 😂

[grim coral]

They already stated they were using the money to fund ark 2

[tough yarrow]

They're still separate games even if Ark2 gets delayed XD

[silent matrix]

i cant read anything more 💔🥺

[tough yarrow]

There are accessibility options for that, such as text to speech

[silent matrix]

i meant i cant know anything more, it hurts, just wish they do the game in full silence and give it to us like has ARK, not "sily" non game trailers if it dont exist in bait xd

[exotic musk]

Ok so there was this one ARK mod i had found a while ago that added the unsued attack from the titan's boss fights as usable attacks (Ice titan icicle sweep, forest titan flail attack, Desert Titan Barrel roll etc)

Does anyone know of this mod? I forgot its name.

[tranquil oracle]

Can’t wait for the trailer tonight

[mortal edge]

dreadnaughtus art, community corner, crunch ends

[subtle blaze]

how do u know it's tonight
?

[tough yarrow]

They don't lol they're hoping and guessing

[tranquil oracle]

It was mentioned a few days ago

[tough yarrow]

Not anywhere official

[past sentinel]

He just gonna pretend he not getting shutdown by a mod lol

[tough yarrow]

Not so much a "shut down" as "they said they're not releasing a date for the trailer"

So where's today's crunch?

[tough yarrow]

Several hours away

[past sentinel]

I usually get a discord notification roughly around 8pm est cause I am usually headed to work when I get it

[void dove]

5pm PST, checks out 👍
Unless its a bit late

Oh wait, they asked where

It'll be in #announcements

😂

[tranquil oracle]

Yes it was in the official discord

[past sentinel]

This is the only official discord.

[void dove]

Link it then~

Show me the sauce

[tranquil oracle]

Yes it is

[tough yarrow]

The "ark survival Ascended" discord is unofficial and fanmade.

Only this discord has official information.

[tranquil oracle]

This is the only ark discord I’m a member of

[tough yarrow]

It was not in #announcements nor was it shared by any of the developers, we have no idea if a trailer will release today.

[tranquil oracle]

I have an idea 😉

[tough yarrow]

I doubt it will, considering they stated the end of October.

[tough yarrow]

An idea from a community member is not official information.

[fair wyvern]

you yourself said it was just a rumor xd

[tranquil oracle]

Yes

[shy holly]

My guess is they will release a trailer on October 20th which is a Friday near the end of October and then the game will come out the next week which is the final full week of October or the next week on Tuesday October 31st

[tranquil oracle]

Not just any community member 🌞

[tough yarrow]

They've already said it'll be more near the end of October, so those are probably good guess but we won't know until they actually share info

[void dove]

Which one exactly? Maybe you could link it?

[tranquil oracle]

The full trailer, yes. I think it’s either a teaser or screenshots today.

[tough yarrow]

That's a lot of "you think" lol

[tranquil oracle]

Yes

[tough yarrow]

That's my point, it isn't official info lol

No one knows.

[tranquil oracle]

Next best thing tho

[void dove]

'You think' if he actually had a source, he'd link it 😂

[tough yarrow]

[void dove]

Funniest thing I heard all week 😂
Man's a comedian!

[tranquil oracle]

Thank you

[tough yarrow]

Check #general

[void dove]

Gottem 😂

[tough yarrow]

You're welcome for your sticker 😂

[harsh phoenix]

Maybe they will surprise us all and release the game today with a trailor!! Ha ha! I know, probably wishful thinking.

[tranquil oracle]

The naysayers aren’t allowed to watch the trailer tonight. Wait until end of October like you want 🙂

[tough yarrow]

Let's all dance around a fire and cross our fingers

[harsh phoenix]

Ha ha!! No joke!! I sure will!!

[tough yarrow]

Okay just dont burn yourself, be careful doing the trailer fire dance

[harsh phoenix]

Lmfao! Do you have instructions how to do it most effectively? I'm an accident waiting to happen!

[tough yarrow]

Nope

[chrome kernel]

when is the cc dropping?

[tough yarrow]

Around 8pm EST

[tough yarrow]

Also,
#general message

I'm expecting Dred concept, if we're lucky we'll get a date for the trailer

[fair wyvern]

you can just set the weight of dinos to 999999 in game settings if you play singleplayer

[solid mist]

How do I block off bat spawns in caves?

[tranquil oracle]

Does this discord allow YouTube links to be posted ?

[fair wyvern]

nah

[tranquil oracle]

Too bad. I wanted to post a trailer link when it is available today

[fair wyvern]

it won’t be today but any news like that will be in #announcements

[tawdry spindle]

guys is it worth raising a lvl 50 lightning wyvern egg? i cant find a higher one
i already have a young lvl 175 poison and a 150 lvl fire at my base but i want to collect all variants
should i keep looking for a higher lvl egg?

[fair wyvern]

definitely try to find a better one

[tawdry spindle]

alright

ill keep u posted lmao

okay i found a lvl 85

ill try to find a higher one but ill keep this one in a refrigirator just in case

for now imma go back to my camp

[tranquil oracle]

It was posted on playark Reddit

[fair wyvern]

how does that make it accurate

[tawdry spindle]

i think ice wyvern are bugged, i cant find any nests on the snow peak

[cedar oracle]

Reload maybe

[hard dawn]

@viral shore Would it be possible to make the cloud inventory non-expirable on ASA? I think it would help solo PVP players a lot

[tranquil oracle]

Idk someone must’ve uploaded it in preparation of community crunch but it was found on YouTube already posted today. Looks good at least

[fair wyvern]

whatever you say

[tranquil oracle]

Well we finally got our first teaser trailer so I won’t complain 🤷

[prisma sand]

That would just mean no loot from raids

Everyone would just upload everything of value

[plain roost]

I'm pretty sure you're talking about the yt vid that someone with the same name posted right ? 🤔

[fair wyvern]

I don’t use Reddit but I’m assuming it’s a troll post

[plain roost]

It's his.. the vid he talks about is just a bunch of kid draws..

[fair wyvern]

sounds about right

[silver mesa]

we got the release date?

[hard dawn]

That's the idea, that solo players and small tribes can upload their best stuff and leave it there. People actually do it anyways when feeling cornered

[fair wyvern]

just end of October

[prisma sand]

But the loot is the best part of a raid. Why would anyone raid if all they’re gonna find is basic materials?

[tranquil oracle]

Idk if we are talking about the same thing but it’s pretty good so far

[tranquil oracle]

First teaser trailer was posted to the playark subreddit

[solar bison]

Gotta be honest I don't trust WC to deliver with ASA

[hard dawn]

Just for fun, the PVP should be the fun part not the looting.

Also, the cloud is limited to 100 slots I believe, so you would still be able to find tames and BPs.

Anyways it would need a rework (especially for big tribes) and I already have a suggestion, lot of text but I'll post it

[prisma sand]

There will never, at any time, or in any game be anything more entertaining than loot. Ever.

[solar bison]

I'm not gonna risk my shit if I'm not gonna get anything out of it

[prisma sand]

Also finding 99 pachy saddle blueprints is just finding 99 slots of garbage

[prisma sand]

Right. I don’t want your fuckin flint. Where’s the tames?

Or as Tallahassee said:

Snowballs? SNOWBALLS! Where’s all the fuckin Twinkies!

[tranquil oracle]

Ohhhh I see the confusion now. Peter is a common name

[hard dawn]

Dude, I'm not saying: "Make a cloud of 5000 slots" I'm saying

Make a balanced cloud where big tribes can't abuse of solo players, there are several ways to do that.

1. Making the Cloud tribe linked as well (The more members the tribe has, the less slots per character)
2. Up to a certain members on a tribe disable the cloud storage
3. Just extend the time expiration to a week or so instead of a day

[prisma sand]

Hard no

[obsidian minnow]

is there a mod or smth so I can build on air infinitely/ without need for pillars/support

[past sentinel]

Considering Ark is designed around playing as a tribe, it would be kind of ridiculous to nerf people playing how they are suppose to just to appease someone playing how you're not intended to.

[hard dawn]

Yeah, it's super easy to find teammates who play 24/7, are good at PVP and wont inside you at the first chance...

[fair wyvern]

what

[past sentinel]

Lol no it not. Just look at the Ark 2 trailer, it a group of people working together.

[fair wyvern]

you can also look at the fact that the game has a tribe feature xd

[past sentinel]

Plus I am not the only one educating you.

[fair wyvern]

do you think the majority of the time it’s tribes vs solos?

[past sentinel]

Ever thought being solo is hard because maybe you're not supposed to be solo? Not because it a designed difficulty.

Got jokes cause this conversation is hilarious

[prisma sand]

There’s a setting called “use single-player settings” it was implemented for a reason

[past sentinel]

That there ^

[lavish fox]

I'm extremely new to the game, how do you level up a dinosaur that's been tamed?

[hard dawn]

The idea is that players don't need to be all the night in front of the screen watching out not to be raided, that's the problem.

Anything that solves it is just fine to me.

And yeah, it's super easy to find teammates who play 24/7, are good at PVP and wont inside you at the first chance...

[past sentinel]

Clearly you also haven't read the survivor notes throughout the game to collect which also point toward tribe involvement which is lore details for Ark.

[prisma sand]

You are playing in the wrong game mode if this is the case

[lavish fox]

Ok thanks

[obsidian minnow]

anyone ??

what

[hard dawn]

Nah I'm not, I enjoy PVP, PVE is boring AF.

[obsidian minnow]

I mean to build on ground

but not need support to build if its in the air

[lavish fox]

I tried searching it up on YouTube and Google and all that was coming up was how to level it up quickly instead of how to actually do it which was very frustrating for me

[past sentinel]

oof, no come back when I pointed out where lore details in ASE also prove the game is designed around tribe play. Well I'll sit on that W.

There is no difficulty setting in Ark, it load in and play. rather you choose to actually play with people normally or put yourself in a handicap it up to you.

Well unless you play SP or unofficial where you can change settings

[covert grove]

LOL!! wow NOOBLETS new video is nuts about snail games shocking

[hard dawn]

Dude I repeat, as if it was super easy to find teammates who play 24/7, are good at PVP and wont inside you at the first chance...

[safe mist]

i agree with that honestly

[past sentinel]

Sounds like a social problem.

[hard dawn]

Social problem... 🤣 LoL

[safe mist]

bruh that's like half the community or more

[past sentinel]

If you willing play official PvP, then you willing accept what comes with that decision.

Unofficial PvP with a coordinated discord is a better experience.

[grand comet]

You just have to build up friend sover time that you can trust and grow from there

[safe mist]

this i can agree with

[keen galleon]

what is the platform for mobile when reporting a bug and there's multiple choices of the platforms you play in

[hard dawn]

Yeah, absurd rates and dinos with anytime ban, super fun...

In Xbox there ar no good unofficial servers

[safe mist]

that's why you find someone who runs a pvp who is an old school player and won't ban someone for being good at pvp or raiding

and yea there is good unofficial servers, you just got to find them

[past sentinel]

Not all unofficials are boosted which shows how... Actually not going there you get the point.

Unofficial has any rate server you are looking for from basically official to extra boosted.

[plucky ridge]

Sup everyone

[hard dawn]

Just so you know Unofficial servers are not the same for Steam and Xbox, the good servers are mostly only available on Steam

[safe mist]

i also played xbox version too bruh, just cause i have a steam symbol doesn't mean i don't play on other platforms

[past sentinel]

That where you are wrong. I play on Xbox and most of my time is in unofficial.

[hard dawn]

What's a good server then???

[safe mist]

thieves landing or something like that, last time i played pvp on xbox ark

don't know if its still up or not though

i don't have xbox core at the moment so i started playing on steam

[hard dawn]

I'll look it up

[hard dawn]

And you, whats a good server?

[safe mist]

we got attacked during our build up peiod and the admins dealt with it immediately as i also had video evidence since i was streaming it on twitch at the time

there's been other pvp servers but its been so long since i've been on them i don't know if they changed names or not or may not even be up

arkstuff used to have pvp server but due to multiple reasons they shut them down

[past sentinel]

Gamer Paradise however it not up anymore, but it went for 2 1/2 years. Although you wouldn't have liked it cause it was PvE that held arena based PvP once a month.

[safe mist]

i've had my fill of pvp on ark over the years, unofficial and official, its all a learning experience and i don't regret a second of it even when it got frustrating for me

[hard dawn]

And right now, where are you playing?

[past sentinel]

I am just BSing on a fiber with a minimalist run of a shoulder pet and one flyer until ASA comes out

[safe mist]

nice

i'm currently on arkstuff pve steam servers till ASA drops

modded of course which is the fun of it lol

[hard dawn]

Lastly Vegetto is right, more than half of the community has those "social problems" you are mentioning, therefore is a real problem

[past sentinel]

Enchanted Ark is one I am on, it extra boosted for base building, just something to hop on and chill occasionally

[safe mist]

i've been insided on official and unofficial so i would know for sure lol

[past sentinel]

I don't tribe with anyone I don't know outside of the game.

[silent wren]

Did they not save any of the xbox servers?

[safe mist]

me and a two friends invited one of thier cousins and his cousin's friend, after some arguing over building placements they tried to inside us and after they were dealt with the friend who invited his cousin went down to his house, knocked on the door and punched him in the jaw, told him to never turn against family again and then handed him a six pack and had drinks together

[past sentinel]

Now that a true friendship, work out hard time then knock back a cold one

[safe mist]

this was on official pvp too

well it was his cousin

but yea true friend of mine who stuck with me through thick and thin, he passed away a couple of years ago

that's why i haven't touched pvp in so long

[past sentinel]

Man sorry to hear that

[safe mist]

i'll run a pvp server but i probably won't play pvp any time soon

[safe mist]

i appreciate that

been thinking on hosting a pvp server called dirtymonkey420, lol that was the server he hosted for the longest time after our official pvp days

[tawdry spindle]

i found a lvl 95 lightning egg

is it worth keeping?

[elder portal]

Y

Eah

[tough yarrow]

Until you get a better one, if you just want a wyvern I guess.

[sly vale]

@viral shore i need egg incubator on island stop the slaughter of innocent dino babys

!!

[wintry fog]

Has anyone at wildcard seen nooblets new video on YouTube and commented on it?

[warm escarp]

I tried to share the video here, but of course we can't do that.

[wintry fog]

I do hope Microsoft buys them out so they have the opportunity to really make something special

[warm escarp]

Snail games created a scam EV company and the money for Ark is missing. They're probably about to make the game a money pit to recover. Now I see what they're charging us for what they should have done years ago.

[wintry fog]

Yea that's that I'm concerned about and the people who work within wildcard

[drifting barn]

Back then it wasn’t a AAA game. They had a really small team back then. They’ve grown alot and I’m optimistic

[wintry fog]

They are good people but the man 🐌 isn't I hope no-one there isn't having mental health problems 😕

Doily ones mentioned it's on her Twitter u know

[tawny turtle]

dude why can't we link nooblets video?>

[wintry fog]

Unsure

[warm escarp]

I tried as well. They have links disabled on this discord group.

I guess to prevent links with viruses, but we should be able to post from trusted sources like YouTube.

[tawny turtle]

you'd think

man why is snail games soo trash?

[wintry fog]

Ye I just hope wildcard is aware or everything and Has made plans

[warm escarp]

Snail games made Atlas, right? I had high hopes for that game.

[tawny turtle]

i mean yeah like they should start a gofundme to buy themselves out of the contract

[tawny turtle]

snail games doesn't make anything they are publishers

[warm escarp]

Oh ok gotcha.

[tawdry spindle]

alright ill keep this one in a fridge too and search again
ill just clear all the nests again and kill some fire and poison wiverns and low lvl lighting ones

[tawny turtle]

is there gonna be a comunity crunch today?

[wintry fog]

Maybe Microsoft will make an offer for them gamepass an all it's the only game like it and it's got a very active player count

I wonder if the players or ark ask the Microsoft team constantly to interven and buy them if something could happen

[warm escarp]

I put about 6000 hours into Ark on Xbox. Started when the island wasn't even complete. Swapped to PC after the last dlc and put another 2000 into it on PC. Tbh... the old ark official days were the best. Back in the days of the Faction vs French Touch days! I hope Ark has the same experience lol. Ark was untouchable back then.

Ark2*

Has the same experience*

[tawdry spindle]

i just found a lvl 155 lightning egg
its my lucky day i guess

[tawny turtle]

man i played all the back in 2017 and let me tell you the chinese mega tribes did not make that game fun

i have about 4k hrs on my main account for reference and i'd wager the best time of ark of the og days of aberration

[tranquil oracle]

In 2015 an excessive amount of Argy would spawn on south starting beach on island

Absolute menaces to thatch bases

[tawny turtle]

man but old argy was ass

ya'll remember og quezt carrying a slot cap of metal mmh the good days

[warm escarp]

At least we could make the old Argy fast AF lolol

[lucid wharf]

i need help my graphics are blurry

[tawny turtle]

lol glad they nerfed fliers tho ptera spinning into unrendered bases was stupid

[warm escarp]

Yup. I remember the quetz metal runs lol. It was a 3 hour event it felt like haha.

[lucid wharf]

pls help

[warm escarp]

Yh c spins past turret walls was cheap. That and render was horrible so you'd fly into turrets you didn't see if you got too fast.

[tawny turtle]

glad they are nerfing all speed too and @lucid wharf try restarting client

[warm escarp]

Have you seen if you have any gpu updates?

[lucid wharf]

i have a 3060 btw

[tawny turtle]

he may have alt tabbed out

that happens to me sometimes

btw @warm escarp pvp or pve?

im assuming offfical pvp

[warm escarp]

Yeah I played a lot of PVP. I enjoy PVE bc I enjoy building, but my bread and butter was pvp builds and raid planning.

I was the guy that got our gear ready and made sure we had everything we needed. The organizer almost lol

[tawny turtle]

you gonna play smalls when asa launches?

[warm escarp]

I'm down

All of my Ark friends are on Xbox. I swapped to PC and become a solo player 😞😂

Became*

[tawny turtle]

hell yeah man if you want i can dm you a link to disc?

[warm escarp]

Ok sounds good.

[tepid viper]

[lavish fox]

[tepid viper]

Singleplayer?

[tepid viper]

[lavish fox]

Oh

[lavish fox]

[tepid viper]

Uhhh........ i cant remember tbh I leave it off lol

[lavish fox]

Oh ok, well it's fine I found it

[sharp stream]

Deinonychus or Raptor for scouting/hunting?

[distant shard]

none

[silent matrix]

yo anyone have any recommendations a beginner like myself should do?

[sharp stream]

tame a trike

easy berries + defense for your base

[silent matrix]

do i just use shock darts?

or do i use bola, idrk

[sharp stream]

I thought you said beginner

[silent matrix]

where

[silent matrix]

The Island

[sharp stream]

pretty sure trikes can only be trapped with a chain bola or beartrap

[silent matrix]

beartraps are so annoying to use 😭

[silent matrix]

i meant if has in ARK or on ASA start 😆

[sharp stream]

maybe it can be netted

with a harpoon launcher

[silent matrix]

op ark

it is affected, the trike can me caught with a net

[silent matrix]

i cant say for you dont tame an trike but at start o hold tame an Parassour, for farm berrys and a ptero for get harder mats and farm exp notes

[sharp stream]

if you want, you can use the gateway traps too

[silent matrix]

its your game your way to play and have fun..

i have a para alr, and i have a pt and a gallimimus

gallimimus was a pain in the ass

literally used 3-4 shock bullets with a wooden club in water

[silent matrix]

idk how to use gateways, nor gateway traps

[sharp stream]

You can use the Hunter Traps mod

[silent matrix]

im on console 😭

[sharp stream]

oh

[silent matrix]

yea...

[sharp stream]

alr

Better find a gateway trap tutorial then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silent matrix]

haha

fair enough

[sharp stream]

I forgot to mention

[silent matrix]

?

[sharp stream]

if you need to preserve food early game or while travelling then you can use a carbonemys

they increase spoil time

[silent matrix]

oki

[lavish fox]

Is there a way to skip time in ark? Like skip from night to day?

[sharp stream]

yes

console commands

[silent matrix]

i just change the night modifier speed

[lavish fox]

I mean for PlayStation

[lavish fox]

What's that?

[silent matrix]

im on playstation, and so are commands

[silent matrix]

under advanced you can change an option like night speed(its not called that but its smth like that) and i put it to like 30 and night passes in like 10 seconds

[lavish fox]

Oh

[lavish fox]

How do you use console commands for PlayStation?

[silent matrix]

im going to be honest, im not sure

i can look it up tho give me a sec

[lavish fox]

Ok

[silent matrix]

L1+R1+▢

[lavish fox]

Is that square?

[silent matrix]

yup

[lavish fox]

It doesn't work for console

[silent matrix]

all at the same time, not just sequintion

[lavish fox]

I'm doing it all at the same time

[silent matrix]

okay press pause

[lavish fox]

I don't think it's meant for single player

[silent matrix]

in the pause menu, press L1+R1+Triangle+Square

[lavish fox]

Ok

Ok it worked now

[silent matrix]

okay,

[lavish fox]

But idk why it has to be paused

[silent matrix]

the command for changing it to day is

cheat SetTimeOfDay Hour:Minute[:Second]

example is cheat SetTimeOfDay 07:30:00

[pseudo talon]

Hello if you admin commands Arkaegology costumes how do you permanently keep them?

If you die

Or moved to another server

[hushed ocean]

Anyone know if ASA will come to gamepass?

[silent matrix]

no, sorry

[true aspen]

Can I get an invite to the peaceful servers discord?

Idk how else to join a server

[silent matrix]

try disboard

idk if its on there but id check

[glacial ermine]

hi

[true aspen]

Disboard?

[silent matrix]

its a website with discord servers linked everywhere

[lavish fox]

Why doesn't the console command EnemyInvisible work at all?

[silent matrix]

Xan you tame a Blood Crystal Wyvern without the eggs?

[fair wyvern]

make sure to put true at the end, EnemyInvisible True

[fair wyvern]

you can passive tame the ones that spawn around 59 lat 60 lon with either crystal or preferably primal crystal

[sharp stream]

Why do I hear fight music when an ichthy follows me (Passive creature)

[fair wyvern]

the dolphin?

[sharp stream]

Yes

the one that follows you for a bit then swims away

[fair wyvern]

it shouldn’t

[sharp stream]

no it doesnt attack me

I just hear combat music for a few moments after landing near one (On a pelagornis)

[fair wyvern]

*there shouldn’t be combat music for the dolphins lol

[lavish fox]

Ok, I didn't put true at the end at some of the commands and it worked

[fair wyvern]

well not every command requires true so that would be why

[lavish fox]

Oh ok

[cold elbow]

Does anyone know why my irrigation stop working after around an hour or so
it is irrigated to a pond btw on lost island just @ me if yk

I also use the s+ water stuff

[summer vector]

they say they're recuperating from making a saddle last week in community crunch so how tf are they making ark ascended

[barren geyser]

Well that was disappointing

[harsh phoenix]

Well damn

[sudden rock]

3 weeks from launch and still nothing is both concerning and disappointing

[silent matrix]

Wtf was that? New concept? Community Crinkle #1. Guys, cmon..

[sharp stream]

Good ways to get keratin?

I need it for metal walls n stuff

[restive tundra]

Yeah that was so very…anticlimactic…

[gaunt compass]

@heavy cedar if you were to say what would be your favorite remodel for Asa

[fair wyvern]

depends on the map but looting beaver dams can directly give you cementing paste or you can use a megatherium and go through a cave that has a lot of bugs

[sharp stream]

I'm on crystal isles

southwest region

[fair wyvern]

Looting beaver dams would be good then https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map/Crystal_Isles?creature=Castoroides

[sharp stream]

alright, I'll find some later

should I find and tame beavers while I'm at it?

[fair wyvern]

nah, they generally aren’t worth taming imo

[summer vector]

only wild beavers produce dams

sabertooth are good for farming chitin in terms of collection afaik

and chitin/keratin are generally interchangable

[sharp stream]

Oh yeah, I forgot I can also use chitin instead

[fair wyvern]

mhmm

[sharp stream]

good thing theres alot of trilobites near my base.

[stiff widget]

Does ark run better on a 4070 or a 6950?

I’m tryna decide which one since I’m building a pc in a month so I can play asa

[summer vector]

haha no need to rush who says asa will be out in the next five years? /s

[stiff widget]

Huh?

[sharp stream]

asa will be delayed longer than gta 6

[summer vector]

asa is gonna come out when im on my deathbed

[stiff widget]

Isn’t it like confirmed for October?

[summer vector]

confirmed by wildcard

but we have no screenshots or anything

wildcard says we'll get both screenshots and the game at the end of this month in 24 days

[sharp stream]

It'd be nice to see some pre-release gameplay
