ark-survival-ascended

[dusty matrix]

Then don't, we will always have ASE.

[safe mist]

i can't say you won't be disappointed as i can't predict how it'll be once released but i'm sure they are working on it as much as possible before bringing gameplay video to everyone

[safe mist]

this is also true lol can always fall back to it for awhile till ASA gets fixed if its in an unplayable state

[languid perch]

imagine they actually do something good for the first time in a while that would be very cool

[dusty matrix]

I'm buying ASA regardless. So bad or good I'm still buying it. If its great straight out, awesome! If its bad, Ill play ASE until it gets fixed

[safe mist]

they've been doing good for awhile lmfao, game developement is hard and complex to deal with even in a testing environment

[languid perch]

damn yall getting me hyped up again lol

[safe mist]

you should be honestly

[languid perch]

optimized ark will fix this world

[safe mist]

me personally i will be buying it regardless of the state its in

being a tester for ark on steam and xbox in ASE is what got me wanting to get into game developement

[nimble sedge]

You obviously don’t play on switch,switch development is going downhill hard,gen 1 is near unplayable and ab is buggy as hell

[safe mist]

i do play on switch thank you very much

[languid perch]

isnt switch version optimized?

[safe mist]

its somewhat optimized but they are fixing things

they ran into an issue with the cloning chamber and i believe a fix was just put out for that the other day

[nimble sedge]

Yes but gen1 is covered in anti mesh so you get arked like crazy,and ab the drops either crash your game or are glitched through the mesh

[safe mist]

is this on official or unofficial?

[nimble sedge]

Both,I’ve played bout and seen complaints about both

Happens on solo aswell

[safe mist]

i've ran into a couple of bugs but nothing major like that

[languid perch]

is the optimized switch version stripped down of any features or does it play and feel like normal ark

[safe mist]

its UI is different

[languid perch]

understandable

[safe mist]

but plays the same as ark game play wise

[nimble sedge]

It’s graphics are optimized and some stuff work’s differently but other then graphics and a large bug list in dlc maps,it’s plays just like normal ark

[languid perch]

even physics wise?

[nimble sedge]

Basically

[languid perch]

i really like the dumb physics honestly its basically a staple of ark at this point

[safe mist]

the only platform i don't play ark on is mobile and PS

[languid perch]

oh god ps4 ark is hell

[dusty matrix]

i have pc xbox and PS

no switch

[languid perch]

still its the most memorable for me

[safe mist]

my son has my switch share so he's able to play ark with me

i'm gonna have to renew my online membership soon though

[nimble sedge]

Just got a stam mutation on the male I needed so now I’m pissed

[uncut dragon]

Ark mobile removed from the play store ? 🤔

[safe mist]

i guess so

[sterile robin]

at launch doubtfull I would not imagine antyhing over 100gb

ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile:

The ARK Mobile official Discord can be found here:

Ark mobile discord

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

[languid perch]

why the mobile segregation lol

[dreamy linden]

Has it been said which maps are going to be at launch with ASA?

[languid perch]

only thing i know is the island only for launch

rest will come later

[past sentinel]

Mobile and switch were not made by Wildcard

[languid perch]

damn different devs made more optimized ark versions

wildcard gotta up their game

with asa

[kind gull]

Does anyone know why Ark Mobile was deleted from the Play Store, I'm really unsure?

[past sentinel]

Scroll up just a little to Bee post

ok tanks

[tough yarrow]

Mobile discord has it in announcements

[pliant path]

Dose anyone know if in ASA INIs well be delt with somhow? I would love to be able to hide myself and by base in the jungle without peeps just turning off trees to find me....

[kind gull]

ok tanks

I would like to play Ark on PC again, but my PC stopped running it

[nimble sedge]

So I’m breeding and mutating my deinonychus but for some reason the male and female melee mutation ones aren’t breeding eggs with 2 melee mutations?

[safe mist]

as far as i know INIs are not changing

[pliant path]

Thanks!

[runic python]

Let me know what you guys think about this suggestion. The PVP game mode should have open world artifacts like on crystal isles so people claiming caves don’t prevent everyone else from doing boss fights.

[vernal shell]

can i still host servers from for example gportal?

or were all servers and hosting probabilities shut down

[rich flame]

Where do I find my saved worlds?

[spare thicket]

Am I reading this wrong or does this mean the end of October won't be seeing PS and XBOX in the mix??

[past sentinel]

Yes they will, when it goes live in EA it will be $39.99 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC (Windows/Steam)

Cross play will exist at launch for Microsoft Store Windows, Xbox, and PS5 and there will be servers that work for all three as well as some servers that only cross play with PS5 and Xbox

Steam is currently planned to be merged into Windows, Xbox, and PS5 servers in December.

[mint bronze]

where can i find the ip of the sv?

[void dove]

That's just for PC version availability. Xbox and PS still going to be available

[molten hamlet]

I sure hope that WC has fully implemented keybinds in the new UI. It was a battle to get keybinds fixed in the early day's as well as in Atlas. I just DL "The Front" and that studio in it's infinate wisdom had absolutely no keybind ablilty.

[inner remnant]

Discord de ark mobile ?

[past sentinel]

@inner remnant Go to the post I replied to

[median dragon]

Why is asa even a thing

[past sentinel]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/community-crunch-381-sunsets-on-ase-new-horizons-on-asa-and-faq-r2165/

[void dove]

Because the community literally asked for it. Begged and whined for Ark1 but better, instead of Ark2 so the devs obliged

[median dragon]

I feel like it’s just gonna be bad

Seems kinda rushed

[void dove]

Then don't get it

[fair marlin]

LOL

[median dragon]

I will be getting it

[void dove]

Then you have only yourself to blame

[median dragon]

Mhm

I play ark and ark kinda sucks

[fair marlin]

I hope they release the specs for the game to run good

[median dragon]

I just hope they got some kinda anti cheat

[void dove]

If you read the ASA FAQs, you'd know they do

[fair marlin]

would be nice but ive been playing ark for years and only come across maybe 3 cheaters

[median dragon]

Bro have you played official?

[fair marlin]

my whole ark life lmaoo

[median dragon]

Basically everyone’s cheating

[molten hamlet]

only three cheaters LMAO!

[fair marlin]

im just that lucky I guess 😄

[median dragon]

Steam or Xbox?

Or ps ig

[fair marlin]

switch

[median dragon]

Bruh

[fair marlin]

LOL

[median dragon]

If you play Xbox or steam official the amount of cheaters is insane

[drifting barn]

So are all servers that are crossplay between windows, Xbox, and PS going to become crossplatform with steam? Or are they going to open separate servers for all 4 of those as well?

[molten hamlet]

Aimbots and ESP are rampant, but what is more concerning is the duping and worse the account spoofing, that one alone breaks the game.

[median dragon]

Ya they gotta fix all of those for the game to be good

[molten hamlet]

Sure hope they fixed it with the new code

[void dove]

At launch, only consoles will be Crossplay, Steam will receive more frequent updates until Crossplay can be finalized and enabled

[past sentinel]

Yes Steam is planned to merge them into those in December. There will be servers only for Xbox and PS though where not even Windows will be

[void dove]

I think it's something to do with consoles taking longer for patch files verification

[drifting barn]

Yee thanks. I’m assuming all servers that have windows will also have steam come December ish

[median dragon]

Idk if I should buy windows or steam when it’s out

[drifting barn]

I want crossplay but windows is super slow for updates

[past sentinel]

No, windows is through microsoft store.

Oh wait

[drifting barn]

Sorry ha. To clarify, all servers that are crossplay between those 3 will become crossplay between 4 counting steam come December

As a question

[past sentinel]

Yes, when merged in December it will become Windows, Steam, Xbox, and PS for those

My bad read that wrong

[drifting barn]

Awesome! No worries ha. I’m willing to wait a few months to have those crossplay server options and still be on steam. Hopefully steam launches with crossplay servers that will merge as well. That way we don’t lose everything

[woven sedge]

Does anyone know if server transfers will be a thing when steam has crossplay with other systems?

[molten hamlet]

Any words about the ORP clusters?

[radiant locust]

Hey @heavy cedar which day do you think will be the most lucrative in this month?

[median dragon]

I’m kinda glad it’s gonna be more prim pvp for a bit

[viral lodge]

its going to get zzz after a week

[median dragon]

Bro wtf are you typing

[molten hamlet]

When Ark first released the Island map way back when most of you were still in diapers, it was a shit show, but at the same time it was fun as hell. All kinds of dino's spawned all over the place not just in specific bioms and there were no "Notes" that let you get to max level in an hour and be able to do bosses on day 1

[median dragon]

How old do you think I am?

And when did island release again

[molten hamlet]

Well it wasn't directed at you mate, I am 58 so you are all youngins' to me 🙂

[median dragon]

Damn

58 and you playing ark?

[molten hamlet]

Since release 🙂

[median dragon]

My grandmas only 60 and she doesn’t even know how to use a pc that well

It was kinda sad when I went to the movies with her 2 years ago

She was confused on how to use the drink things

[molten hamlet]

I self taught myself binary and assembly at our small town Radio Shack and ended up as the CEO of a tech company that catered exclusively to the US DOI.

We used to play leisure suit larry on the intel lan when I worked in the engineering department there lol.

[median dragon]

Damn you rich?

[molten hamlet]

Should be but between 1.87m in child support and the shit that happened after 911, yea I am broke as fuck, but I do have a nice pc 🙂

[median dragon]

Still richer than me tho

[weary bone]

"1.87m in child support" can you be my dad

[molten hamlet]

Yea, I fixed that problem years ago with a visit to the piss doctor lol

[median dragon]

Damn

I just hope asa can get me back into ark

Kinda lost all ma friends

Got no one to play with now so I just play rust

[molten hamlet]

Squirrel where you ever in Defiant?

[median dragon]

No I don’t think so

Idk what that is

[molten hamlet]

a tribe name

[median dragon]

Oh nah

Either way I don’t remember tribe names

So I wouldn’t even know

I ain’t even good at the game

[tired monolith]

Can y’all help me? I recently added Ark to Ps5 for my kid and made it super easy but the dinosaurs don’t even act like she’s hitting them.

[weary bone]

refund

[gleaming sierra]

did u turn the player damage all the way down?

[tired monolith]

Player damage is at 3

[gleaming sierra]

Oh

Then idrk

[tired monolith]

This is why I play on computer 😅

[gleaming sierra]

lol same

i used to play on my xbox but now i play on pc and i find it a lot better

[tired monolith]

I prefer pc a lot more, this was terrible to learn lol

[gleaming sierra]

yeah

[crystal violet]

Dino resistance setting maybe?

[safe osprey]

Lol… I remember Leisure Suit Larry too. …. 🍻🇺🇸 @molten hamlet

[tired monolith]

I’ll check it, is it supposed to be 0 or 3

[crystal violet]

I'd have to check I can't remember it could be 0= full resistance.

[tired monolith]

Okay, I’ve got it at 0 so I’ll flip it and see if that works

[gleaming sierra]

guys i haven't used a power generator in a bit, how does it work again?

[rich flame]

Where can I find crystals on the island?

[tough yarrow]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Crystal#Locations

[rich flame]

Thanks

[winged hamlet]

pretty much everywhere

[hybrid horizon]

Put gasoline in it then attach a cable to an outlet out of it

[void dove]

Caves or mountaintops are generally good go-tos for most maps

[candid river]

How much you all want to bet when Jat says “end of October” he means it literally, the 31st

[silent matrix]

yeah in the last mints of it😂

[candid river]

People have told me “but the 31st is a Tuesday”

Be honest would we be surprised if it came out on a Tuesday

[winged hamlet]

tuesday is a usual day for big patches and updates

[ionic mason]

I find playing on my pc better too but with all the aimbotting and ESP I’m gonna play console only servers

[sharp stream]

can the thorny dragon be used as a backup if you run out of tranqs while trying to knock something out?

[winged hamlet]

ehhh

i dunno why the thorny dragon even has torpor

[sharp stream]

I guess it knocks things out to protect itself

so why do troodons have torpor then

[silent matrix]

do we know what types of official servers will be out on release?

[winged hamlet]

i'm not aware of anything the thorny dragon can knock out before the same attack kills it

no, but i assume pve and pvp like on ASE

[silent matrix]

I just want small tribes on release

[void dove]

Smalls is confirmed on release

[peak sinew]

I found a base I want to be my first raid. How many explosives does one need. It’s a metal 2x2

[thorny wharf]

Is it possible to play a 2 person world where no one else can join? Without the use of an external hosting service?

[winged hamlet]

you can host a nonded session, but it tethers the guest to the host

or you can have a separate computer between the 2 people and use that to run a private server

[mental minnow]

will they tlc ark 1 dinos in asa?

[void dove]

No confirmed plans at this time

[austere palm]

the hacking and cheating in general is worse on windows 10, i know of several people personally that specifically chose those servers for that reason so watch out win10/xbox crossplays

because of how easy it is to get anduse the programs for

[dreamy linden]

Do alpha raptors mate boost rexes?

/or boost rexes

[rich flame]

What do pteranodons eat

[thick sonnet]

meat

[rich flame]

Yeah but what kinds

[thick sonnet]

meat

[rich flame]

...

[thick sonnet]

🥩

[ripe willow]

any announcement for when the new version releases?

[silent matrix]

Breeding or taming?

[gloomy barn]

nope just an eta for this month

[rich flame]

Tame

[silent matrix]

Oh I mean best meat is mutton or prime if it's near but you can feed them any meat.

[rich flame]

Does cooked fish meat work?

[ripe willow]

dang...$60...but, it looks like it includes everything this time

thats pricey though

[silent matrix]

Yeah it does

[void dove]

Mate Boost is only same species and variant. Male Aberrant Raptor boosts Female Aberrant Raptor, but not normal or Alpha Raptors

Alphas will Alpha Boost all nearby wild creatures, including other Alphas (if you spyglass, that's the yellow arrow pointing up you'll see near the creatures if it's being boosted)

Though unlikely, it is possible to have two Alphas Raps/Carnos/Rexes also mate boosting each other

[dreamy linden]

So alphas boost all nearby wild creatures regardless of species and varient?

[void dove]

Correct

[dreamy linden]

I always wondered what that arrow meant ... thank you

I guess not so useless ...

[void dove]

Helpful sometimes, sassy most others 😂

I guess to answer your build question, try looking for 'efficient base designs', I don't have any examples handy, but if you're building for efficiency then there's probably some compressed PvP designs somewhere

Some get pretty creative getting storage and crafting areas smooshed together using catwalks, or the floor as smithies

[slate widget]

ASA is 40$USD

[rich flame]

Why does my meat keep disappearing

I know it's not spoiling because I have no spoiled meat

[ripe willow]

ARK: Survival Ascended will now be a standalone package released on every platform (PC Windows/Steam, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation 5) at $59.99. The package will include the following pieces of content built-in (not sold separately), with each remastered and altered for the next-generation:

Did this change?

[slate widget]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/community-crunch-368-asa-roadmap-update-asa-comparison-and-more-r2126/ yes

its 40$USD at launch for ASA and all ASE released DLC. sometime later it will be 45$

[ripe willow]

ooh, I see..but, we dont get SE up front

which is fine, not a fan anywayl..lol

[slate widget]

no, it was delayed till december, Rag/ab Q1.

[slate widget]

Lol.

[void dove]

Sad Desert Map noises 🥹

what?

[fiery lily]

u talking about asa?

[slate widget]

scorched

[fiery lily]

ah

[slate widget]

not yet.

[honest ibex]

you bot read what you post, and you aree wrong only scroch is coming in dec

That is what he said, yes.

Scorched was delayed to December.

[sharp stream]

should I tame a terror bird?

I found a 108 while taming a galli

[alpine hound]

wtf is going on with server providers for ark rn?

[sharp stream]

tamed a terror bird and in the process of taming a thyla 😄

[sterile robin]

wdym?

[icy wedge]

Is it confirmed whether or not Epic will be avail on release? cant find anything solid, unless im just missing it

[alpine hound]

two seperate server providers and putting their ips into the game server menu on steam and i get the "steam did not find any servers at that address". Now I thought this was on my end, but 4 other people got this same thing when trying to connect to the steam server.

[sterile robin]

so far only confirmed is ps5,xbox newest gen, windows and steam

[icy wedge]

ah, unlucky

[sterile robin]

possible server hosts are having issues then. Or maybe be nightly restart times for servers

[alpine hound]

been like this for 2 days

and surprising that Nitrado is having issues since they were the primary ark server hosts

[sterile robin]

Could be a possible ddos attack on another server and the server you are playing on is part of that server hosts machine getting the brunt of it.

[alpine hound]

gportal was the other

rip

[alpine hound]

maybe but it was 2 different hosts that did this

Okay yeah no it's steam

steam is being stupid af

[wet widget]

I'm pretty sure Jat came into the discord yesterday or the day before and confirmed they are currently only planning pc release on steam and Microsoft store on pc

You would have to scroll through days worth of messages tho

[safe mist]

yea he did, there's nothing about epic games getting a version as of yet

[slate widget]

none of the crunches mention an epic release. only steam/windows/ps5/series X/S

[safe mist]

do you think they'll do an epic games store version later on?

[slate widget]

who knows 🤷

[wet widget]

I have no clue

I'm a console pleb

[slate widget]

they already have 2 platforms on PC, not much reason to go to epic.

[safe mist]

lol that's not always a bad thing

[safe mist]

well since UE5 is on EGS platform it might be easier for those who do mod development

[wet widget]

I'm just hoping for better console optimization for some of the gen2 missions, and maybe rework fjordur and let use use our tek skiff in the other realms

But that is the faaaaar future

[slate widget]

maybe but ASE took years to go epic lol.

[safe mist]

true

[slate widget]

thats on purpose. the realms are counted as caves so you need to enable cave flying to fly in them.

[wet widget]

I only played on official lol

And it never made sense they were counted as caves too me

[safe mist]

yes and if you were able to use a skiff in there it would be OP, the purpose is to get back to on the grund basics for that map

[slate widget]

makes them harder.

[wet widget]

They are entire other realms

Blegh

[slate widget]

they don't want people just flying through I guess

although you still can with desmodus, maewings, or tek lol

[safe mist]

the map dev wanted a map for veterans of the game who can handle harder maps

[wet widget]

I grinded to full tek when that map came out, found out my skiff didn't work in as gard, and logged out and let everything decay. It killed my motivation to play that map

[safe mist]

don't rely on tek only lmfao

[slate widget]

skiff isn't even that good maewing is just as brokenly fast.

[wet widget]

The science fiction aspects of the game are what drew me to ark in the first place

[slate widget]

it can pickup most things but almost everything that'd you want to is on the main realm.

[wet widget]

I didn't play before then

[safe mist]

maybe the devs can bring an actual sci fi map to the game officially for everyone who enjoys just the tek

besides gen 1 and 2

[slate widget]

lol

literally gen1 and 2

[safe mist]

i mean a mod map

something more then what gen 1 and 2 is

[wet widget]

I mean they have gen1 servers with no missions and flyers enabled. Idk whtly they couldn't have some flyer enabled fjordur servers

[slate widget]

gen2 is gonna be included in ASA
but if you mean non-story map, not sure there really is any. most people don't like them.

[safe mist]

probably not enough dean for it in the end

[slate widget]

on officials?

huh

[wet widget]

Yes

[slate widget]

wild

[wet widget]

On Xbox anyway

[safe mist]

i just hope my lapop can play ASA lol

[slate widget]

I wonder if there is a mod map thats sci-fi

[safe mist]

i'm sure once ASA comes out someone will make one sooner or later

maybe able to reuse the mission style from gen 1 and 2 on a mod map? would be interesting to see

custom make the missions

[wet widget]

If they do, the mission 100% need to port you to another area. Having an alpha ferox spawn in someone's base was annoying sometimes

Only thing I hated about gen 2 missions

[safe mist]

lol yea but those moments was what i found fun about it cause i had my base set up for any intrusions PVP or PVE lol

i had one spawn in my base and it didn't even move 5 feet before it was dead

[wet widget]

I had one spawn in another tribes breeding pen while they were online and it killed about 300k poly worth of stuff in pve

[safe mist]

oof lol

[wet widget]

Just because I was trying to farm a mission

[safe mist]

oh well lol sucks to be that tribe, i'd farm the missions hundreds of times if that's the case

[wet widget]

I didn't want to be an ass

[safe mist]

was it pve or pvp?

[wet widget]

Pve

I don't have time for pvp

And I value sleep too much

[safe mist]

lol honestly i wouldn't of cared, if i needed the mission done then i would do it regardless

i've done pvp back before the first great server migration

after that i retired from official

ran with some big names

lost souls, hail, hydra

i miss those days honestly

frustrating af but fun too

[verbal zenith]

Which mode had more ppl playing on official ? Pve or PvP?

[wet widget]

Pve had more numbers on xbox I think.

[fiery rover]

Removing movement speed makes asa doa for me. 815 days played and its at an end.

[rich flame]

What should I name my second pteranodon

I already named my first aerodactyl

[winged hamlet]

Dead Soon

all pteras end up that way

[rich flame]

Why?

[winged hamlet]

fast but fragile

[safe mist]

glass cannon

[rich flame]

Glass cannon sounds cooler so imma go with that

[winged hamlet]

im sure there will be mods to give it back

[rich flame]

Pteras are annoying

Stupid torpidity

[winged hamlet]

best to have some prime meat and lots of narcoberries before going to tame them

[peak sinew]

glass cannon minus the cannon

[rich flame]

Minus the being fun too

I thought flying would be cool

[winged hamlet]

when you level it up the pteras C attack can hit hard

[rich flame]

I'm leveling stamina for more flying

[winged hamlet]

yeah

breeding them helps

[rich flame]

I need to give more weight carrying they slow af

[winged hamlet]

yep

they're your first flyer so it won't be the best thing

[rich flame]

Is flying by the obelisks dangerous?

[winged hamlet]

depends on the map

[rich flame]

Island

[winged hamlet]

blue is surrounded by yutys and can have gigas nearby

[rich flame]

What about red

[winged hamlet]

green can have rex and spinos nearby

red can have raptors and carnos

only herbivore island is really really safe

[rich flame]

Am I the only one reminded by the triforce from zelda when seeing the Ark logo?

Its built the exact same as the triforce

Red bottom left blue top green bottom right

[potent edge]

hello, any Ark vets remember how big Ark was on hd with just the Island map?

[rich flame]

Are there any sort of beacons I can use for my base?

[potent edge]

to know where it is on the map? open your map, it's "P" to put a pin to mark a location

[rich flame]

How do I do that?

[potent edge]

are you on pc?

[rich flame]

No

Map doesn't matter anyways I know where it is on the map

I just can't see it even during day

[potent edge]

ah no, there is nothing except lamps and torches and they are not that great because of render distance anyway

[rich flame]

Damn

What do brontos eat? I want to show the island dominance

[potent edge]

Mejoberries to tame, lots and lots and lots of them... other berries work but even more lots are needed

[wet widget]

October 32nd release date confirmed

[rich flame]

Finally they have October 32nd Saint hallows eve has gotten boring I need saint hallows day

[keen galleon]

Any mobile players wanna play pve

[silent matrix]

are there meawings on valguero

[rich flame]

So I died and I can't find my loot

I'm at the spot where I died and there's no beacon

Are there enemies that move your body when you die?

I am on single player and I see beacons from earlier loot

How long for loot to despawn?

Guess I'll have to get good loot... again....

This is the 7th time this has happened

At least I kept my ptera

Has wildcard shut down support till ASA comes out??

[ruby sundial]

If its for single player/non dedicated or dedicated issues, you can always ask in #bobs-with-probs for help. If its for an unofficial server, only the owners and admins can help

[civic lagoon]

its a discord prob

[ruby sundial]

Message dodomail in the members column --> over there and ^ top of list

[civic lagoon]

ok thanks

[ruby sundial]

Np!

[formal swan]

actually i would be pretty amazed if they just remade the original annoucment trailer but in asa

[languid perch]

man i love ark

and hate it at the same time

[orchid warren]

same

[winged hamlet]

the respawn trailer was good but short

[balmy stag]

Guys, will ASA be supported on Geforce Now?

[keen sage]

Who thinks;
-Chitin Armour being resistant to arthropluera spit. (Makes it relevant)
-Mosasaurus Being immune to Cnidaria (Jelly fish) stun (stops the giga of the sea being neutralised by jelly)
-Harpoon Gun BP available (means we can get better quality harpoon guns just like we can with other guns)
Are good ideas?

[tough lake]

Nobody is rlly gonna care about chitin armour even if it’s resistant in pvp and pve aspect

Tuso > mosa

[keen sage]

I would wear it instead of flak for caves if it was resistant to arthros. Arthros melt through flak easily too.
I agree tuso is better than mosa. I don't agree with a Jelly fish being better 🤣.

[elfin escarp]

If Mosa gets jellyfish immunity, that would be awesome. Makes no sense it's not like that already. Also no Harpoon BPs on Island is something i never understood.

[severe talon]

What map vote was Oviraptor?

[past sentinel]

10 different maps https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Oviraptor

[winged hamlet]

oviraptor is already in the game

[past sentinel]

Oh wait

[severe talon]

I meant gigantoraptor

lol sorry

[past sentinel]

I thought they were asking what map they were on

My bad, just got off night shift xD

[severe talon]

I was asking what map vote gigantoraptor was from, Just wondering if its gonna be on launch atleast

of asa

[winged hamlet]

rag i think

[past sentinel]

I'll let someone else answer that cause I forget all about what vote happened when after the fact lmao

[winged hamlet]

yeah rag

[severe talon]

Yeah just found its rag, I hope they add it and maybe shata on launch since neither are story dlc

[winged hamlet]

rag comes next year

probably

[past sentinel]

Rag and Abb are scheduled for Q1 of 2024

[winged hamlet]

yeah

we'll get the island vote dino on launch probably

[past sentinel]

Hmm.. wonder what the options would be if we did

[keen sage]

@ Do you know if Centre is too?

[past sentinel]

It doesn't have a timeline yet. Rag the only community map with a approximate date, rest are under timeline of "throughout the year"

I only went on the center a couple of times and found it kind of bland, but I also didn't know it had an underworld, so I'll give it a fair shake in ASA.

[keen sage]

Yeah I was wondering if they were going to release all the non story maps and thought centre would be most likely to be dropped if any.

[past sentinel]

My guess is it might be right right after Rag considering it originally was before Rag, but I guess they decided to do it this way since Rag is obviously more popular.

[dreamy linden]

Does island get a vote

The way it was worded, only dlc maps get votes

At least on the wiki

[past sentinel]

My personal thought on the order of how I think maps could be released after Rag and Abb...

The Center
Extinction
Crystal Isles (I honestly think Extinction could be before or after this one.)
Val
Lost Island
Gen 1 & New DLC
Fjordur
Gen 2 (I think this could be before Fjordur too.)

[full sleet]

Dont let bro cook again

[twilit dawn]

Would be nice to know a release date.

I still don't get it, why the don't announce the release date.

[past sentinel]

Someone in #ark-2 did make a good plausible prediction of the 17th for the Steam page being put up as apparently they need to be up two weeks prior which would make it possibly the 31st if it quite literally the END of October 😂

[severe talon]

What was the island dino vote? I forgot

[elfin escarp]

Only need to be up 2 weeks prior to release if they want to be in the coming soon section

[twilit dawn]

I hope its this month. I don't want to waite longer.

[tough yarrow]

Rhynio

[severe talon]

I meant for asa?

[tough yarrow]

Yeah. Rhynio lol

[exotic phoenix]

hey if theres anyone who can make a getslate command for a carch cause i saw one on a mountain but after like maybe 2 days i cant find it

[severe talon]

Oh, that's a bummer I was expecting another for day 1 of asa

[past sentinel]

I am just going off what other discussion have witnessed. ATS, GTA V, and RDR2 are the only games I have Steam for. I play Ark on my Xbox Series X

[severe talon]

When is scorched coming for asa?

[past sentinel]

December

[severe talon]

Nice, can't wait to play around with fasolosuchus

[elfin escarp]

No worries. Just thought i needs a mention since someone said so and now everyone thinks the storepage has to be up 2 weeks before. They propably already have the storepage ready but not public. That's my guess.

[fierce basin]

Argy’s will be the meta early months right?

[molten quartz]

Pts are faster than argys so probably not

[fierce basin]

Yh but heard pts wont be able to pickup survivors anymore?

[past sentinel]

I do like to have people who use Steam much more than me to clarify

[elfin escarp]

Xbox even needs a 4 weeks heads up to be displayed in the coming soon section if i remember correctly

[past sentinel]

That sounds about right

[elfin escarp]

I don't use steam often myself, but i'm working in the gaming industry and that's just what my coworker said a while ago

[past sentinel]

Alright it been fun chatting this morning, time for me to go flop onto my bed and go to sleep for a few hours

[full sleet]

Put me in a crypod til asa release

Tired of waiting fr

[supple musk]

Technically true but I do think that steam would make an exception since they would loose hella money if asa didn’t release on steam

[silent matrix]

Why after i downoloaded mods, they always need to downoload again every single time i launch ark, i need to wait like 15-30 minutes to join a moded server with 13 mods, is there some way to just have the mods downoloaded without a need to wait for them to downoload every single time i launch ark?

[odd heart]

No.

Also are you running off an HDD? Shouldn’t take that oong to load 13 mods…

[silent matrix]

sometimes one of the mods gets stuck and wont downoload or just downoloads for a long time, i got a good wifi i dont know why is that

[odd heart]

You mean downloading or the “loading mods” bit

[silent matrix]

installing

[odd heart]

Uhh…that means the mod is updating

[silent matrix]

oh

its been 10 minutes

[odd heart]

Which mods is the server running

[tawny aspen]

Anyone else feeling a delay on ASA incoming in tomorrow's crunch?

[odd heart]

Do you let the mods install completely before opening any server/singleplayer

[silent matrix]

yes

[odd heart]

^

[wet widget]

Dollie confirmed yesterday they are still on track for an October release so no

[craggy steppe]

So... Which map has the most flat terrain for building?

[sterile robin]

SE or Center

[craggy steppe]

Scroched Earth?

[sterile robin]

Yea

[craggy steppe]

Okay, is there another map with a lot of flat terrain?

[sterile robin]

Center

[craggy steppe]

Okay, I'm gonna check that out

[wheat lagoon]

Crystal isles got flat lands in the middle of the map

[past beacon]

not sure where to ask but,
would anyone know how often we can run the xmas event? can we run it any time we like or is it set to cooldown to run only once per year? any info?

[main acorn]

Fjord has lots of flat land if u know where to look I have a server if u wanna look around

[main acorn]

U can run the events yr round if u want it's just colors though u have to spawn the other stuff in

[past beacon]

i thought all assets were removed for all events except for xmas event tho? (assets moved to the hex store) but the xmas event still had all assets? (the only event that was actualy left in the game)

the other events are only colors tho?

so we can trigger the new years drops any time as well if we set the triggers?

[craggy steppe]

Ah thank. Never played Fjord, since my computer became too bad for Ark. But I plan on buying a new one

[past beacon]

ill do some testing this weekend but i thoughth i would ask in case anyone tryed it first

[main acorn]

I haven't tried Christmas in a while so I can't confirm yest the hex store has the stuff but I meant spawn in the Xmas gachas or the Santa raptor or dodorex those things

[past beacon]

thats why i was asking because as far as i know the xmas event is the only event they left in the game , all other events are color changes only

thanks for your time to answer

[main acorn]

It's a freaking beautiful map I tend to get lost lol telaporting to other realms is confusing lol

[craggy steppe]

But I played on Switch and Extinction can be good for building too I realized

[main acorn]

Oh ok sorry yah I wasn't sure I know u can run any even yr round if u wanted

[mint cargo]

Is there any way to get a magmasaur egg in extinction?

[tough yarrow]

Not without mods

[mint cargo]

That's unfortunate, alright. Thanks

[analog hatch]

well you could transfer the egg from another server to extinction

[balmy drift]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[odd heart]

You can add them to spawn entries via ini but that method sucks

[supple crag]

yes that, and then use fire wyvn to hatch. unless the south part of wasteland is hot enough already

[steep cobalt]

You can increase pawn raye by adding simple spawners mod among other customizations as well i think

[odd heart]

You can try the workshop mod “Spawn Configuration” by Eclipse, that one is noce and clean

[shrewd agate]

For those of you who complain about the movement speed nerf: have you considered how this affects the server-client lag? I hate it when you shoot at a running player and it looks like it was a direct head shot, but the shot doesn't register. I'm all for this change and really hope it will be implemented in Ark2 as well.

[dim rover]

Can you own all obs without getting dev wiped as long as drops are open?

[supple musk]

Lag should never be fixed by removing a feature that causes it 💀

[shrewd agate]

I dont think that is the main cause of lag (cough cough massive breeding bases)

[supple musk]

Not saying it is just that removing movement speed ain’t the way to go

[carmine geyser]

So in the case a stego cant walk through ice cave it will be 100% unraidable unless meshing returns. In ice cave, we have strong artifact which is needed for alpha dragon. Basically, the tribe in ice cave has full monopoly over tps (the most op item in the game now without cryos). What do you guys think, i rly hope WC has thought of this

[foggy bone]

Is ark ascended going to release anytime?

[shrewd agate]

hopefully at the end of the month

[foggy bone]

So do i need to buy the game in steam again or it will just upgrade ark?

[tough yarrow]

New game, you'll have to buy it.

[foggy bone]

How much?

And lemme guess i will need 400gb for it too

[tough yarrow]

$40USD at launch, $45USD after

We do not know how much space is needed or pc specs yet

[foggy bone]

Thx
Ark 1 going to close soon?

[tough yarrow]

Ark 1 official servers were shut down. Unofficial/singleplayer is still available.

[foggy bone]

I see.

[hybrid horizon]

Can you tame an ovriraptor with fertile eggs

[dusky rock]

believe so just no benefit to it

[hybrid horizon]

Ok well I’m just going to mass breed diplos to tame one thx

[dusky rock]

why just not use unfertle eggs? or find a wild bronto egg and tame a level 5

[fickle kettle]

anyone here play The Hunted mod yet?

im trying to do everything you can in it before ASA releases

[fickle kettle]

Hopefully it'll be less the 60GB with the upgrade to UE5, I have a few friends that are willing to play if the game isn't as large as it was last time

hard to get a group of people who just have 600GB for a single game

[rose atlas]

Does anyone know if the charco or whatever that other gigs is... do you know if it will be in the island in AsA? Because they said they are going back to prim... and it wasn't there in the start of the island

[fickle kettle]

Anything that spawns normally on The Island now should be in ASA

[rose atlas]

Should... but we don't know yet... right?

[fickle kettle]

the Rhynio will be there so the Charcar should be too

since it came out after

[rose atlas]

How do you know the chopper bug will be there?

[void dove]

Because it was confirmed by Dollie to be

And it was technically made for ASA, but added in ASE as a treat

[fickle kettle]

Wasn't it also the first Community voted creature?

[void dove]

Yep, well not counting Andrews/Carch

But first of the ASA votes

[drifting lava]

guys i need help

[drifting lava]

I'm trying to play Lost Island singleplayer ( been months since i opened it ) but ark just pops up steam and make sme watch the trailer

how do I play the map bro

[void dove]

Do you have it installed?

[drifting lava]

im pretty sure, cuz ive played it, but let me check bro

[void dove]

Manage DLCs, make sure Lost Island is checked, and if not then check it and Steam should start a download

[north pike]

@tough yarrow any new info on how the mod system will work

[tough yarrow]

Any new official information will be in #announcements, not a volunteer moderator for the discord.

[drifting lava]

lol, now i remember why i deleted it. 63 gbs

[north pike]

mod system has me scared

[drifting lava]

thanks @void dove

[void dove]

Insert Megamind: No Discord mod exclusive info? 🥹

[void dove]

You got the best stickers

[north pike]

unless she is a secret owner of wildcard posing as a moderator to spy on us

[covert grove]

Well the good news WC must have a steam store page up for the new ark within 7-8 days from now with a coming soon or what ever. thats steams rules XD

[north pike]

@tough yarrow thanks for being a moderator and communicating with us, its uncommon to see one talking.

[covert grove]

WC is at twitch con to wonder if trailer will drop to just like last time they dropped a DLC trailer.

[tough yarrow]

A lot of us volunteers chat quite often, it isn't just me.

[random crag]

Otter is BiS mod

j/s

[north pike]

i have seen a few, but i meant as a whole across discord channels.

@covert grove that would be not this Friday but the friday after at the latest.

[grand sedge]

Wym 40 at launch 45 after😭😭

[tough yarrow]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/community-crunch-368-asa-roadmap-update-asa-comparison-and-more-r2126/

[void dove]

Early Adopter discount

[fickle kettle]

wait a second, you're telling me they dont tell discord mods need to know info or share secret screen caps with you???? how are we supposed to get leaks wtf

[tough yarrow]

[short ridge]

no leaks, only jat posting spoilers

[grand sedge]

They said they don’t plan on doing early access anymore tho?

[fickle kettle]

no, they said no preorder or early access for people. it'll be early access

[covert grove]

lol the way i see it shouldnt be in EA

[void dove]

ASA will be 'Early Access' until it's caught up with ASE content

[covert grove]

just a reskin pretty much XD

[tough yarrow]

They said you can't pre-order it or pre-download it

[tough yarrow]

It's not just a reskin but you do you XD

[grand sedge]

What’s the difference in pre order and early access?

[north pike]

could someone just cryopod me until the end of October please.

[grand sedge]

they said they had no plans in giving anyone access to the game early

[void dove]

EA you can actually play. Preorder is just that. Paying early

[fickle kettle]

yeah

[grand sedge]

“There are no plans to allow anyone to access the game early; you will all have access to it at the same time,”

[fickle kettle]

thats what i said

no early access for people

[grand sedge]

😭??

[grand sedge]

Then early access for who??? Dinosaurs?

[little silo]

jus not the best worded sentence i think lmao

[fickle kettle]

i mean

[void dove]

I think you're getting confused and reading into the words too much

[fickle kettle]

the dinosaurs will be ther ebefore we will

believe it or not

[covert grove]

idk why ppl want to get in early than anyone lol

[grand sedge]

I don’t

Well: that’s a lie I wanna play now

[tough yarrow]

I think the words "early access" are confusing you unintentionally.
Everyone will have a chance to buy the game at the same time (no pre-orders).
Everyone will have a chance to play the game at the same time (no one will be playing it before anyone else).
The words "early access", in this case, only mean that not all content is being added at once. It is being added over time.

[north pike]

its early access for the legal liabilities but not early access to play or pre buy... that help?

[void dove]

There's a difference between Early Access, and getting access to play a game early

[grand sedge]

So what’s the 45 and 40 about

[void dove]

Buy* at launch for a discount

Or wait a bit and pay a bit more

[tough yarrow]

At launch, meaning once the game is available on Steam, Microsoft, and PS, it will be $40. The day/week it releases.

After that (whatever timeframe the devs make), it will become $45.

[grand sedge]

Ohhh word I understand now

[fossil trellis]

What is Early Access?
Steam Early Access enables you to sell your game on Steam while it is still being developed, and provide context to customers that a product should be considered "unfinished." Early Access is a place for games that are in a playable alpha or beta state, are worth the current value of the playable build, and that you plan to continue to develop for release.

Releasing a game in Early Access helps set context for prospective customers and provides them with information about your plans and goals before a "final" release.

[grand sedge]

That’s not what we’re talking about

But thanks

[north pike]

they need to generate as much money as they can at launch so they are giveing a 5 dollar discount

[grand sedge]

Did wild card ever address any of the snail game server stuff that went down?

[spare sleet]

Do you think they will open ASA page on Steam by October 18th? I heard they gotta open page before they could release the game prior to 2 weeks

[grand sedge]

Is snail games going to have their own official servers on asa as well?

[tough yarrow]

If you mean conquest, no, because that was only Snail. Not WC.

[tough yarrow]

We don't know.

[grand sedge]

I saw that if you got banned on a server on conquest tho you got banned from all official servers and were stuck to unofficial

[fickle kettle]

mmm no, you just got banned from conquest

[tough yarrow]

I have no idea, but it's probably not really relevant since all ASE officials are shut down anyway and new game is releasing

Conquest/Classic were handled by a different team than WC

Only the servers themselves (upkeep, not enforcement) was WC

[grand sedge]

Can you verify that or are you just saying that

[peak sinew]

what explosives are the best for a raid? ie. most damage

[north pike]

will bans carry over to asa?

[tough yarrow]

Afaik, no

New anticheat system and new game

[grand sedge]

Some people got global banned @fickle kettle is all I’m saying and I know for a fact that means all servers

[silent matrix]

We need prim + in the normal game without switching to prim plus. I want to make juices, ect.

[fickle kettle]

the people who were globaly banned were probably cheating, the ones who were banned for the snail drama only got banned from conquest most of the time

[grand sedge]

Pretty sure H.O.D and all of his tribe got global banned

[fickle kettle]

the official servers and conquest were run by two different teams

[fickle kettle]

I think they're making that a offcial mod

where you just enable it

there are plenty of youtube videos that go in detail about the bans but afaik everyone who was banned only was banned from conquest

but if your entire group is dedicated to conquest and you get banned after dumping hours of your life into it, you might as well be banned everywhere

[pastel hemlock]

if wildcard doesn't give us like a gameplay or at the very least in game ss in tomorrow's CC I'll go on a dodo killing spree across all maps

[fickle kettle]

not the dodos

anything but the dodos

[spiral seal]

is there any release on what day asa will come out

[void dove]

Still targeting end of October, no exact date yet

[pastel hemlock]

Sorry, but It's the only thing that'll get their attention.

[vocal minnow]

Any new updates on the next ark

[past sentinel]

https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/community-crunch-381-sunsets-on-ase-new-horizons-on-asa-and-faq-r2165/

Just this big read

[fickle kettle]

define next ark

asa or ark 2

[plain crown]

Ark 2 will be 2025, early access with the new indie EV One 🤣

ASA should be before end of October, little vague I know but that’s all that’s been released as info

[past sentinel]

Ark 2 is currently planned for end of 2024, it is likely it will be delayed but until then we should just be going off of end of 2024

[plain crown]

My answer was just satire and a dig at snail lol

[silent matrix]

I'm gonna Start ARK from tomorrow but sadly it's epic games

[past sentinel]

Eh I would personally just wait for ASA at this point if I was you if you are just now getting starting

[plain crown]

If you got a decent pc download the island 1 or 2 maps some big mega tribes on there with absolutely everything

2 is a huge file though

[silent matrix]

If the game gonna get shutdown?!

[silent matrix]

ASA is? Ark 2?

[fickle kettle]

ASA is a remake of Ark: Survival Evolved (ASE), that is set to come out this month. It has been rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5.2

Ark: Survival Ascended (ASA)

[past sentinel]

ASE is only unofficial and single player now. And no ASA is a remaster and reimagined ASE on Unreal Engine 5 created to provide a refreshed original Ark experience. ASA is also to help fund Ark 2 development

Ark 2 is a brand new game that is getting designed with a whole new combat system and much more in a primitive feel.

[silent matrix]

Well I don't have money for ark 2 or ASA either. I got ARK for free from epic anyway.

[fickle kettle]

aah if you got it for free then w/e yeah its fun

does epic have mods?

i dont remember

[solid eagle]

Nope

[silent matrix]

No sadly

[fickle kettle]

oh

[past sentinel]

Yeah like Mako said if you got it free, then go for it. Just not worth it to buy ASE at this point IMO

[silent matrix]

Is ARK gonna shutdown any time soon or what?

[past sentinel]

It already has, that why I said it only unofficial and single player. There are no official servers.

[silent matrix]

I can play single player tho right?

[fickle kettle]

Ark: Survival Evolved (ASE) has already shut down all their official servers, however, you can still play the game singleplayer or on unofficial, community run servers.

[silent matrix]

Thnx

Actually I played ark mobile for a year. Old memories, I just want 1 journey in ARK pc

[past sentinel]

Yes as I said 3 times now lol, single player is still playable and people can still host their own unofficial through Nitrado. etc

[silent matrix]

XD

Btw

What setting are best for singleplayer

[fickle kettle]

Hopefully it stays as through Nitrado and ect

[dreamy linden]

I’d imagine it would for some time but not forever

[past sentinel]

Honestly I don't know why this didn't get negotiated between WC and Nitrado to cover debt.. Instead of just doing them getting a portion of ever sale of ASA why not just let them have full amount from the servers on ASE now that ASA is coming out.

i do not have access to speak there alas

[void dove]

Get yourself a role

[past sentinel]

At the top of the discord channels is "Channels and Roles" go there to get the roles you need

[void dove]

Can't link it, but Channels and Roles section at the top of ^what they just said

[tough yarrow]

<id:customize> links it

Remove the ``

[shy quiver]

its not working for me

[tough yarrow]

id:customize or the recruitment channel?

[hearty goblet]

Trying to make plans and take a good guess. Is it likely that ASA releases on a Friday? Can’t remember how they typically do releases

[queen hill]

@heavy cedar really hope the team will reconsider not having cryopods at release. The amount of time it adds to tasks like getting ready to do a boss fight, or to do a raid, especially off server. Will be more than what most players will want to do. Just to name a couple of issues, but there are many that negatively affect the quality of life aspect of playing ark, including imprint timers

[shy quiver]

id:customize

[past sentinel]

Just click on that, it highlight cause it a link that will take you to that channel and just click on the platform there to get the role you need

How to use recruitment channels

Please see this post for recruitment channel instructions: #1110974544853860493 message

If you're still having trouble, please refer to the video below for visual instructions:

:play_pause: Instructional Video

[tough yarrow]

Gave you the PS role, follow the link above to help you with recruitment ^^

[shy quiver]

thank you thank you!

[ripe bridge]

I wouldn’t hold out hope - would be cool if they shift it up to a post-release patch if people speak out enough but you’d need to them introduce ways to craft it and obtain all the resources reliably on the Island

Best bet is waiting for something like the soul gun mod

[past sentinel]

It not set in stone for cryos to be held off until extinction just the current plan. They did say that if it appeared to be the right decision they would look at adding them sooner.

[void dove]

id:customize test? 🤔

Oh it does work 😂

[tough yarrow]

I gotchuuuu

[void dove]

Neat

[past sentinel]

Guess I should test it, cause there a few times I have wanted to tag that channel for people that needed roles.

id:customize

[ripe bridge]

Would love it to be the case cos god I’m not looking forward to OG caving - but either way there’s at least gonna be alternatives

[shy quiver]

one last question sorry to bother recruitment still closed? or am i still all thumbs?

[past sentinel]

I hope they are held off till extinction personally, but I have said what I personally expect is when transfers are enabled in December with the addition of scorched is when I expect people to blow up this discord calling for cryos

[tough yarrow]

The link the bot sent above

[fickle kettle]

by then people should have transmitters and just have enough tribemates to transfer everything at once

[main sail]

Yeah I hope they just wait until scorched to add them

[ripe bridge]

Would make the most sense, yeh

[main sail]

Worst case is people don’t have them for 6 months or less until ext comes out

[calm osprey]

todays my birthday and all i want is ASA release date

[sterile robin]

poof you are asa release date

[calm osprey]

then i decide now

start your downloads boys

[abstract hollow]

Which fast travel I pick to get to desmodus waterfall

The cave

On fjordur

[sharp cosmos]

Yo how do I access the play as a dining servers on xbox

[north plank]

Thus is probably why they don't right away though, they need to see how the server is affected without these things for a bit. It won't be comparable to ASE as it's a totally new engine so they can't use the previous data for it all really

[north plank]

You've already been told, its a mod so you can't

[daring brook]

What creature is being added to island?

[winged hamlet]

i thought there was one earlier but now that I look at the wiki there wasn't so probably just the same old critters

maybe Rhynio and Carch still but we'll see

[mossy juniper]

Yo, I've been looking for informations about INI files in ASA, I've read somewhere saying it will be removed (with orbital view), but can't find where, and idk if I made it up or if its just rumors/wishfull thinking 😮 Anyone can help? Thx!

[winged hamlet]

any news on that is rumors

[void dove]

Baseless rumors, no official info

[winged hamlet]

we don't know anything about the ini files yet

[mossy juniper]

alr thx! idk why i have this in mind then

what about orbital view, did they say something about it?

[winged hamlet]

no

we frustratingly know next to nothing about the changes

[past sentinel]

Removing orbital view would keep people from peaking someone cave base through the top

[mossy juniper]

yea i know, ive been searching a lot, I'm starting to think that some youtubers are now doing some tarot cards reading to come up with their ASA content lol

[winged hamlet]

there are ways to stop that without removing orbit cam

just don't let it ghost its way through terrain

[past sentinel]

True

[clear hatch]

would give me left kidney to wildcard if i could ride a jumping spider through abberation

[sour jolt]

@regal tapir check dms rq

[queen hill]

If all they did was make them craft-able in the fabricator we’d be just fine. I just think they’re really underestimating how painful many aspects of this game will be for the PVP crowd in particular, without being able to use cryos

[livid prairie]

we were just fine before cryos dont see why we cant do it again 🤷

[queen hill]

Maybe, but it was always one of the biggest pain points in Ark, at least from a pvp standpoint. Specifically small tribes where man power is lower and you need to get 20 Dino’s to an obelisk for a boss fight, to name one example

[void dove]

Drops exist

[livid prairie]

^

[molten quartz]

Drops or as an alternative you could upload 20 dinos at the nearest drop a few at a time then download at the ob

[queen hill]

I’m not saying these things are impossible, only infinitely more painful/time consuming

[winged hamlet]

so many people have played only knowing cryos

[livid prairie]

fr was much more fun without

[steady compass]

Yeah, this discord making me feel old as someone who has played ark way back in early access before cyros were a gleam in wild cards eyes lol

To be fair, lack of cryos is gonna make me have to adjust how I play now too

[queen hill]

I’ve played from the beginning as well, but enjoyed the game with cryos in it much more

[winged hamlet]

i mean, cryos were SO HELPFUL

[livid prairie]

gonna have to go back to quetzals

[steady compass]

Oh yeah, cryos are probably one of, if not the most useful thing in the game

[molten quartz]

What's really gonna be rough is how big bases are going to have to be again to hold your dinos

[steady compass]

I am somewhat excited to get "back to basics" or whatever, especially with the ASA changes. Even something like, lack of leveling movement speed will cause a change in how I play and I kind of welcome that, rather than playing the same way I've played for years.

[queen hill]

Exactly. Especially if you want to breed all of the meta dinosaurs

[winged hamlet]

big bases, or a lot of snackrifices to the ark gods

[queen hill]

Going back to the beginning is great, I just don’t see any legitimate reason cryos would be detrimental to that

[molten quartz]

I still doubt the no cryo phase last too long though

[steady compass]

Thats true, I love me some dino pokeballs just for having a tidy base alone

[north plank]

With the improvements to render distance, I think it'll look pretty good to see all the dino farms

[steady compass]

I kinda hope you can actually have dinos on wander without them teleporting outside your walls. Would be neat to have a more lively base

[winged hamlet]

want to see a dino farm? look on any official server like 2 hours after launch

[past sentinel]

It currently planned to add cryos with extinction when they were originally introduced.

[molten quartz]

Lol if you can see them you can shoot them 😉

[north plank]

Intereting point actually, render vs projectile distance...

[past sentinel]

However there is a possibility of unofficial getting them as people were able to add cryos to prim+ servers they hosted, so in theory there is a chance cryos could be added to unofficial on ASA in the same way.

[ornate depot]

on xbox how can u pick things up with thee rhyniogantha? what controls is it

[winged hamlet]

if we get dino storage off the bat then nobody will ever use cryos on unofficial

[north plank]

would depend if they're in the game files already, or it'll just be mods that do the same thing anyway on unofficial

[steady compass]

Hmm, I wonder if Kentros in ASA will still awkwardly headbutt things, or if they will actually use their tails again. So, many questions.

[past sentinel]

Cryos aren't just a storage item, but basically a pocket item like a pokeball for dinos so IF they were in the game files as Bees mentioned could probably guarantee some people would still use them. Wouldn't ever say "nobody" personally cause there probably always some people.

[winged hamlet]

that's what the Dino Storage mod did

but better

no cryo sickness, mousing over them in inventory lets you see the dino's stats, mutation count, owner. it came with a storage terminal that with admin powers could be used to recreate a dino from the last time it was trapped inside a ball if for instance the game crashed and erased all your stuff. it also let you build the Soul Gun which lets you just point and click and trap a dino from a distance

[past sentinel]

Mods are going to take time to show up on ASA

[winged hamlet]

yeah

[past sentinel]

I never had an issue or experience with any cryo sickness, all the unofficial servers I played on had that turned off

[winged hamlet]

just saying that if DS comes out before cryopods/extinction, i don't see why anyone would still use cryopods

[past sentinel]

That from Xbox Series X experience

[north plank]

You'll be surprused how quick they do though

[past sentinel]

I am looking forward to them, seen a few in videos I am looking to see hopefully show up in ASA

Most from Syntac

[craggy torrent]

Y’all ready for the ASA preview tomorrow ?

[livid prairie]

whattt

[past sentinel]

He hoping for previews

[craggy torrent]

Steam publishing policy requires information of a game to drop 2 weeks before its release.
Tomorrow is the last Friday the devs have for the month on Steam .

[livid prairie]

well what kind of information? theyve already got a steam page

[past sentinel]

Seen a few people point out partner rules only require that if they intend to have a "Coming Soon" page.

[craggy torrent]

An actual trailer for it,

[livid prairie]

we can only hope

tomorrow is community crunch day so maybe

[slim sequoia]

if i have enable movement speed for flyers enabled will i ever find a flyer with 50 points into something? if that makes sense?

[sharp stream]

are thylas good tames?

and should I tame a terror bird?

[slim sequoia]

thylas are great guys

[slate widget]

No, and wild levels don't do anything. Flyers will not get them.

[mossy oar]

Is they're any structures that can smelt more metel besides the forge?

[sharp stream]

industrial forge

[slate widget]

Besides the indi forge. More indi forges

[candid sky]

Petition to give back player movement speed 😂

[past sentinel]

Movement speed being locked only effects official, unofficial will still be able to make movement speed upgradeable.

[candid sky]

I don’t play unofficial

Hence why I said give it back since they released that info in the next sentence that it’s available for unofficial

[slender sparrow]

Last I looked ASA itself is lacking a Steam page.

[past sentinel]

Only steam page up is ASE and Ark 2.

ASA isn't on there yet.

[void dove]

If you wanna be disappointed, sure!
They're a painfully mid tame. Fun to use, but better options all around

[livid prairie]

Huh could've sworn I saw it lol

[void dove]

Plus they're so freakin' loud, you'll go deaf

[fickle kettle]

thats my favorite dino

guys, why are we waiting for ASA when PixARK is right there

[spark sedge]

huh. AA cryos achieve the impossible

They're a torpor-inflicting dinosaur that seems practical to use to knock out things

[tawny aspen]

No cryos is a big win

[spark sedge]

They make even knocking out gasbags super easy, righteous

[winged minnow]

jw anyone know how u fix that over buffer network thing that pop up?

[dusk lotus]

Im planning a giga counter for a sever/map idea for asa and want to know what effect a large trike like dinos charge should do i think about a stunned and fear effect but it may be a bit overpowered for pvp fearing a giga would be funny tho

[tender oasis]

For normal humans raising with imprint wont be possible

[tender oasis]

Broken boned

[void dove]

We've already got plenty of Giga counters, get new material

[dusk lotus]

Have something like that planned

[tender oasis]

If anything more decoration dinos

[dusk lotus]

So just slowed then

[tender oasis]

Yeah idk u can also make a stunn but noone gonna use gigas when carchas exist

[dusk lotus]

The charge is the only giga counter part it main design is a large tower soker

[void dove]

Oh, so another 'mega OP dino that's made to fit 12 different roles because reasons'

[tender oasis]

Only thing ark needs is more decoration dinos tbh

[tough yarrow]

More shoulder pets!

[tender oasis]

More uw dinos aswell

[dusk lotus]

No i just want to give it charge a function and based on it size giga counter was the first thing i though of

[dusk lotus]

Uw?

[tender oasis]

Ubderwater

[tough yarrow]

Underwater shoulder pets!! Like a little frog that sits on your shoulder

[tender oasis]

Yeh

[dusk lotus]

Havent planned any yet but change some to make water pvp more interesting and less boring

[tender oasis]

Maxbe some actual dinos that existed and not that shadowmane astro type stuff

[tough yarrow]

Pull an avatar and have a little butterfly fish thing that you can have on your back for air

[tough yarrow]

Oh you and I went 2 different directions

[void dove]

Frog that acts as scuba tank, flippers, and mask! Because no creatures already give air underwater ohwait

[dusk lotus]

Ye i dont really want to add any more of that

[void dove]

Completely shaft Diplocaulus like my poor Boi Archaeopteryx 🥹
Trashed and thrown away once the Sino came and did everything better

[tender oasis]

A little fancy is okay but astro and shadowmane or also rhyno was toomuch

[dusk lotus]

The swamp thing or lil bronto

[void dove]

Diplocaulus

[tough yarrow]

Caulus is the swamp thing, docus is the mini bronto

[void dove]

See? They don't even know it's name! 🥹

[past sentinel]

I only ever went to tame one Archaeopteryx right before it knocked out it glitched into a red wood tree and wouldn't let me finish the tame.

[void dove]

Tragedy

[tough yarrow]

Lil fiiiish

Salamander?

Not to be confused with Saladmander

[dusk lotus]

Oh i made the docus a larger soaker and the caulus give the mystic oil buff from the radic wheel

[void dove]

Saladmander for next creature vote

[tough yarrow]

Saladmander for ASA! Not just Ark2!

[dusk lotus]

The mosa stronger and cant be tuso jellyfish or ell stun

[tender oasis]

Octopus shoulder pet

[dusk lotus]

Im going to just steal that idea

[tender oasis]

Sea turtles

[dusk lotus]

Ima make it give the ink debuff when low

[tender oasis]

More crabs

[dusk lotus]

Isnt that just carbo and mega

[tender oasis]

True

Mega maybe but some medium sized one thata rather fast in the water slow on land i belive they existed back im the day

A seagull hawk style but from the water parts

[dusk lotus]

If you can give a ones name ill look it up later and see what i could add to it i want to make all the dino have a use

I made raptor a deino roar have a debuff effect called hunted that make them take more damage. For pvp having raptor packs behind a wall would have a kinda use

Thinks like that just small uses

[dusk lotus]

Itchy

[tender oasis]

Green sea turtle

[dusk lotus]

Like the one you can see on the beach or a preastorl one

[tender oasis]

I tgink they stayed almost the same

Would be slow - useless on land but fast in the water

[dusk lotus]

Protostaga 5% bigger then carbo very fast under water and will buff nearby allie with a speed buff on a spin (roar) they have less health than a carbo but do extra damage to armor dino (natural res and shadowmane armor) saddles are ignore

Anything need changing?

[sharp stream]

should I tame a hyeanodon?

[void dove]

Do you want a Hyaenodon?

[dusk lotus]

Yes they are good bois

[sharp stream]

better than a lystrosaurus?

[dusk lotus]

More attack and hp so ya

[sharp stream]

in terms of being cute

[winged hamlet]

you can pet Lystros

[dusk lotus]

Same for hyenas

[winged hamlet]

only to tame them i thought

[dusk lotus]

Fr that so dumb why add it to not keep it

[sharp stream]

does petting have any type of group effect, like the lystro xp boost?

[dusk lotus]

No

[void dove]

Gives the Hyaenodon a healing boost? Maybe damage boost too, I forget what all it does

[winged hamlet]

hyaenodon is like a smaller dire wolf you can't ride

it has a slight pack buff i think but their numbers are kinda low so only really threatening to a player or smaller dinos

they can also wear backpacks that keep meat longer

which kinda loses usefulness if you just increase stack size for things a bit

[sharp stream]

are lymantrias a good tame?

[void dove]

Ehhh. Early game flier on Scorched since no Pteras. Otherwise, not really

[winged hamlet]

they're ok to have early on

with the Better Dinos mod they passively produce silk

[sharp stream]

why do hyaenas lose taming progress before I can pet them again?

[winged hamlet]

taking too long?

[brisk dust]

Hello everyone 👋
Old player(pve), finally decided to join the discord, nice to meet you all

[void dove]

If they get spooked and run then they lose progress

[void dove]

Welcome o/

[sharp stream]

bruh the thyla I was taming woke up and killed my lymantria

oh well

I'll just tame a procoptodon

or morellatops

[sterile robin]

procoptodon I believe only eat rare mushrooms will taming

[void dove]

Procop is a fine mount 👍

Speedy, got the JOMPS
Kick attack has knock back for days

[sterile robin]

they are fun very true

[tribal vault]

Will the wild dino level cap be 150'

And will there be xp notes still

[sharp stream]

lost island just made my game crash

even though I dont use it

[brisk dust]

Been watching a lot of "100 days to beat Ark" vids lately and made me wanna try it myself.
I don't have a tribe anymore so if it can be mostly done alone then it seems super fun.

[abstract stag]

They can be done solo, I would think that's half the appeal

[void dove]

Devs haven't mentioned anything about changing them. Did a YouTuber make a video or something recently? This question keeps getting asked.

[molten quartz]

Maybe it just keeps getting asked because it's an easy way to be lvl 80 in like 10 minutes. I myself have thought the difference too great from just leveling by playing

[brisk dust]

Well I always knew they could be done solo but maybe I assumed it would be too hard? I usually lost motivation when I thought about everything I would have to do myself 😵‍💫

[spark sedge]

I swear the code red mission would be 10,000x less obnoxious if there just wasn't the enemy spam in the final fight

flying ones to counter stuff like hiding on the ledges and tek pistoling him down is fine. But i like to stand and fight. Domination rex can ignore hte bleed and stand and fight.

Still is obnoxious to stand and fight, not because I'll lose the fight, but because a billion small little things will wedge themselves under me and repeatedly shove me out of range of the big giga

and when they're there it becomes exponentially harder to move and fight them, because again, they're wedged under you

that first phase with the fans in the tunnels has a similar problem, which exists only to waste your time

[sterile robin]

150 should still be the same unless the devs change it and xp notes right now no one knows currently.

[brisk dust]

I've mostly only played Island and Rag as well, I've been to other maps too but only for a few hours each.
In comparison to 2.6k total hours tho, it's basically nothing lol

[calm osprey]

Gday all has anyone heard about price? I might have missed it work8ng alot atm 😱

Just want to make sure Im cashed up on steam ready 😁👍

[winged hamlet]

$40

[calm osprey]

American 40 yeah?

[winged hamlet]

yeah

[calm osprey]

Im an Aussie 😁

Nice thanks mate

[analog needle]

it will probably be $60-$70 AU

[calm osprey]

65 for us here

Yeah just looked

[analog needle]

they will round it for us

most likley

[calm osprey]

Yeah atm 40 is 63 so i assume 65 lol

[analog needle]

yeah probably

we will have to wait and see

[calm osprey]

Nice if they round down lol

[analog needle]

yeah

[winged hamlet]

aussieland has some bad taxes too iirc

[analog needle]

i wish it was $40 here like in america

[calm osprey]

@winged hamlet Ive lived in Europe and I feel like our pay is higher than alot of places Ive even been told by American friends we get paid more so it kind of equals out

@analog needle Yeah or cheaper if you own it already 😁

[winged hamlet]

eh, the devs have gotta get paid

[calm osprey]

@winged hamlet oh yeah I dont mind paying I just know theres others who maybe cant 😁

[winged hamlet]

game sales are the only way to do that since they don't really sell a lot of Ark merch

[calm osprey]

They so need to do merch

Id buy all the dodo plushies lol

[winged hamlet]

i'd buy a parasaur and spino plush

[haughty skiff]

Otter plush

With a top 🎩

[fresh island]

They should make ARK snow globes lmao

[magic quartz]

Time to preach. It’s sort of ridiculous ark can’t let us pre download the game at least 1 day out. No one wants to have to be late to release. So unless they’re going to postpone server opening until hours after game release then it’s whoever has fastest internet wins at first. Hopefully a mod sees this and has a stable fix to this

[tardy coyote]

If it released more than 50$, I shall pick up my XGPU and drop ps5 .

[mossy oar]

Is there any good way to get charcoal?

[slate widget]

some maps have charcoal trees. otherwise chainsaw redwood trees and indi forge.

[mossy oar]

Does valguero have charcoal trees?

[slate widget]

maybe in the wyvern area? otherwise don't think so

[mossy oar]

Hmm alright

[silver mesa]

so are we gonna have to pay for ASA and all the dlcs again?

[mossy oar]

Will asa be separated? Like there will be ark and asa

Or will it only be one?

[slate widget]

ASA is a 40$ game at launch, it comes with all ASE released dlc included (released overtime)
you will have to pay even if you own ASE. ASA is a remaster of ASE they are different games

[mossy oar]

Oh okay good cause idk how much gigabytes asa will have because I can't even download ark

I have to play it on cloud gaming😔

[distant oak]

an external hard drive isnt that hard to go pick up...

[slate widget]

ASE is only like 140GB on xbox 60~ more with all the paid DLC installed.

[mossy oar]

I'm getting one for Christmas

[lapis wasp]

I’m curious if all the creatures are gonna get remastered models as well?

[distant oak]

I believe some yes... its not vastly different just textures

[slate widget]

I'd assume all of them are updated so they don't stand out. doubt all of them will actually be different.

[distant oak]

Idk how to feel about new item textures

🤮

[lapis wasp]

It would be nice to get some sort of gameplay trailer or something since I believe the game is still set to release within the next 2 or 3 weeks

[stiff summit]

You and everyone else here lol

[slate widget]

they said they will release a trailer before the game is buyable

[distant oak]

Game isnt finished and they are on a deadline for the end of October or they get fucked

they can release later but it will hurt them

so your gonna be buying an extremely buggy and unfinished game right of the get go (Most likely)

[fiery topaz]

Will tether still be a thing
