ark-survival-ascended

[long oriole]

Graphic update for pvp players huh? They gonna turn them to super low toaster pc on day 1

[trim flare]

If it was better. It's going to be unfinished unpolished for the next 8 years like ase

[lethal turret]

We shall see

[long oriole]

Basically pvp players pay wc 40$ to be allowed to play on officials again

[oak tendon]

they should add the shastasaurus to genesis

[trim flare]

we are ALREADY seeing.

[full walrus]

Hello I am new to ark can someone tell me the basics

[trim flare]

^ listen to him

[full walrus]

Me?

[oak tendon]

its like minecraft, you punch trees, mine stone then kill the bosses

[full walrus]

Oh

I'm on mobile but I think I should get it on Nintendo switch now and I'm kinda a noob so thanks for the information.

[limpid hearth]

Bros making us wait another weak for a leak

[distant sandal]

dont get it on switch, go pc or console. and despite its flaws, it really is a great game

[long oriole]

Be ready to be let down next week

[full walrus]

Wait so don't get it on switch?

[honest ibex]

its dreadnaught doss reveal they said it in todys crunch my guy

[long oriole]

Get it on the gameboy

[full walrus]

I don't have one

[dusty matrix]

and the devs are already "playing it" on steam, so technically the page is already there just unlisted. so the 14 days registration crap is bull too. It's just hidden until they make it public.

[distant sandal]

if you really love the switch, then you do you, i guess. if you have the option, buy on pc

[lethal turret]

well yeah they need to test their own game xD

[dusty matrix]

Im not complaining, just letting people know that 14 day crap is wrong

[lethal turret]

yeye been saying that 14 day thing is wrong too

[distant sandal]

also, im talking about survival ascended when it gets released. dont buy survival evolved

[long oriole]

They don’t test their game on steam haha, rather in their engine

[full walrus]

Oh

[dusty matrix]

then why did Jat post a screenshot of his hours on steam?

[long oriole]

Idk about that, but I’m just saying. U normally don’t test ur game on steam. But instead upload when it’s tested and ready

[full walrus]

Wait is Survival ascended gonna be donlable content or a game for free?

[tough yarrow]

New game. $40 USD at launch.

[unique topaz]

@full walrus

ASA Info

All information about ASA can be found in the following article:

• Community Crunch 381

Last updated: 2023-09-30

[dusty matrix]

why the hell does my channel roles keep changing back to steam? I keep turning it off and it comes back.

My point is it's most likely ready and they are just waiting for the go ahead now

[regal yarrow]

I mean, like 3 weeks ago all the devs had a day where they played Asa in steam. So yeah it's playable and tested in steam

[tough yarrow]

It's on xbox for me. Probably just your discord being a goofy goober

[lethal turret]

yeah same

either the bot is acting up or your discord is buggin

[tulip bough]

Any1 know any confirmed mods for ASA?

[dusty matrix]

it was for me too.. then it changes back to steam.... ugh.

thank you though.

Also I can admit, I've talked shit cause I'm frustrated, but there is more going on behind scenes than I know.

We will all just have to wait

[lethal turret]

if its still buggy in a few hours message dodomail so we can fix it

[tough yarrow]

A lot of the more well known modders have mentioned going to ASA. Dino Storage v2, Ark Additions, Paleo Ark, etc

[mossy plaza]

Appalachia map is a confirmed sponsored mod
eco won't be modding ASA though

[tulip bough]

Oh ok thanks

[lethal turret]

We need giant otters as a confirmed mod

[dusty matrix]

will do

[digital ginkgo]

i need S+ as a confirmed mod

[barren wigeon]

any tips for finding a ryhnia

[mossy plaza]

I'm curious how soon the devkit will be released for modders to take a look. I know there's a good chunk of modders that are basing their decision to mod ASA on how complex/botched the devkit could be

[cyan torrent]

Anyone wanna play ark with me, can put any mods on

[naive crest]

Because its an upgrade. visual and performance. Because they are adding more and will continue to work on ASA while ASE will stop having support from devs.

[regal yarrow]

Wait two weeks and ask again in #1110949794907684965

[forest olive]

not a single picture and the game releases in a few weeks is crazy

[prisma sand]

Does it though?

[forest olive]

releases in 2 and a half weeks

[fervent leaf]

i hope this game flopped so hard .....

[misty turtle]

What do you expect

[dense panther]

lol

[boreal spindle]

😄

[winged hamlet]

there will always be new players

[mossy oar]

What's ur fav dinosaur and why?

[winged hamlet]

tie between parasaur and spino. they look cool

[mossy oar]

True true

[chilly timber]

So what’s the odds we get ASA by the end of this month?

[static fjord]

looks pretty high since its just an "early access", so dont expect it to be that polished

[hard sparrow]

given what happens if they dont, i'd say good.

[chilly timber]

Alright sounds hopeful again, gaming can hopefully not be dry ❤️

[long vector]

guys im to lazy to do the math so how many narcotics would I need for a giga that is like level 10 or 8 since im to lazy to find a higher level one

[tardy panther]

dododex says 58 for a lvl 10

[silent matrix]

any aussies wanna play ark with me im new (PC)??

[honest ibex]

check dododex

dot com

[steady chasm]

Hiii

[limber oyster]

hello looking for someone to call and play ark with me i know the basic but still on the first map

[steep wagon]

Installing the game for the first time. Holy shiiiiiit 233 GB?!!!

[stiff summit]

#1110949794907684965 is probably your friend for that

[prisma sand]

That’s only half of it

[stiff summit]

What a garbage and complete joke of a community crunch

[long vector]

should i go tame a tapejara or just keep with my argy

[prisma sand]

Nah bro. I had completely forgotten what creatures were voted in and desperately needed the reminder more than any other info currently

[grizzled narwhal]

desmodus is better

[steep wagon]

Wait for real?!?!? That's a lot of memory and dl time. WTF?!?!?

[prisma sand]

Ye. Ark is a chonker with all dlc

[steep wagon]

Ugh. Guess I'll be able to play some time Sunday lol. RIP my shitty internet speeds.

[stiff summit]

[prisma sand]

You only need to download maps you intend to play on

[steep wagon]

I'm on Steam, can I choose what gets downloaded at a time?

And Ragnorok looks cool, but Idk what other maps would be good to have at the beginning, I bought the bundle.

[prisma sand]

Yeah. Right click Ark in your library and navigate to the dlc page. Anything you check will be downloaded. Make sure to get Fjordur and you will have access to 98% of the games content

[misty turtle]

Ab

[stiff summit]

You only need to download the DLC maps. I think all the ones that were previously mods come with the game, so Rag, Crystal Isles, Lost Island, Valguero etc.

[limber oyster]

anyone on ps4 that wants to play ?

[steep wagon]

Ab?

[stiff summit]

Aberration

[misty turtle]

Yeah it have best view ever

[steep wagon]

So I do t need all the expansion packs and season pass?

[misty turtle]

If you want to play more official map and learn more about storyline and get some exclusive creatures

[prisma sand]

No. Just make sure you have Fjordur and the map you want to play on. That’s 98% of the games content

[cyan torrent]

im down

[misty turtle]

It not even containe 50% of game content

[prisma sand]

Fjordur alone is all the engrams minus maybe a couple tekgrams and all but like 3 creatures.

[steep wagon]

I’ve got Fjodur and Ragnorok selected, any more you’d suggest for a new player?

[prisma sand]

Nah. That’ll see you comfortably out of bobhood.

[misty turtle]

Engram sure but not 98% game content

[prisma sand]

Ok

[cloud shuttle]

Hey there
I'm trying to play Ark with a PC friend with the Microsoft version, i'm from Xbox series, but everytime we try to join eachother server it says "join failed" idk what to do 😦 pls help
We both have Game Pass Ultimate and we can't find a solution

[prisma sand]

Xbox and win10 have always been cross play

[shrewd agate]

Wow seriously nothing new in the CC on ASA. Just repeating stuff that we already know. This is seriously weird. I have a bunch of hardcore survival game dedicted buddies and they've never even heard of ASA. I wonder why... they're already playing other survival games and wont be coming here.

[odd heart]

Rip the buddies, they be missing out 😔

[shrewd agate]

Why isnt WC beating the drums so loud that people outside of ASE players can hear them too?

[prisma sand]

There’s no need to wonder. Wild Cards marketing team fails as hard as their enforcement team.

[odd heart]

Indeed, I agree with Goo

[shrewd agate]

and I thought they wanted to profit from this product

[lavish cipher]

Nice crunch, no way it comes out this month.

[odd heart]

Jeff…you out of all ppl should know that…

[sudden coral]

With how bad they’ve played around their fanbase, I would imagine this will be a huge financial loss for WC and would suggest they get Ark 2 together faster than ever if they ever want it to release

[shrewd agate]

How will people buy your product if theyve never even heard of it?

[odd heart]

https://tenor.com/view/jeff-goldblum-jeff-goldblum-life-finds-a-way-gif-8405245

[meager glen]

Lol

[sudden coral]

Not exactly lol

[hot rose]

anyone know what this server error means?

CreateBoundSocket: ::bind to port 0 returned error no name available

[meager glen]

I don't

[odd heart]

What exactly r u trying to do?

[hot rose]

I'm trying to use ASM to run an unoffical server

my ports are forwarded but now I'm getting this error msg

[odd heart]

It seems like you’ve misconfigured something when setting IP

[hot rose]

ooh, where do I fix it?

[odd heart]

https://youtu.be/o1dcWkSzGd4 follow this vid, its rlly good

[lavish cipher]

Iam pretty disappointed thought ppl would already take it to the streets and masstag dollie ced and jat

[odd heart]

After the initial setup is done, you can modify the ini separately

[cloud shuttle]

But i can't make it work lol

[hot rose]

alright, thanks man

[odd heart]

ini as in the in game settings

I am just speculating that that’s where something went wrong, if it still doesn’t work feel free to tag me @hot rose

[hot rose]

Alr, I'll let you know

[prisma sand]

Idk I’ve never had to deal with it personally. But crossplay has always been a bit of a pain.

[languid perch]

i need ark ascended now

im starting to go crazy

[spring ore]

It's OK bro

[winged hamlet]

roughly two more weeks

[jagged depot]

"IF" it doesnt delay and lets be honest we are all expecting it🤣

[mental drift]

@viral shore if you guys have nothing to share just skip a community crunch. 🤡

[languid perch]

if delay happens i will sharpen my pitchfork

[mossy coral]

couldn’t they share a single screenshot for this week?? Like release is supposed to be in the next 3 weeks

[silent matrix]

seriously, cant share anything? not a still of the map, dodo, character model ANYTHING. it boggles my mind how much they're floppin here.

like we just want to see the graphical update at the very least

[tardy coyote]

Maybe it is just a empty folder name “Ark ascended”

[silent matrix]

one of the devs did post the private steam page with play hours earlier, so theres something even if its just an HD tree

[tardy coyote]

After waiting so long for the ascended news, I am tired now. They do not care , me either. Budget for ps version will canceled.

[turbid leaf]

I'm trying to decide what my primary flying mount on fjordur should be before I get wyverns and drakes. Do you prefer snow owls, Griffin's or desmodus for pve?

[sterile mural]

how can i get the loot drops in lost island desert cave to respawn?

[bleak rain]

What a shit crunch

[stark sigil]

will asa have all og maps?

[chilly timber]

No

[hot rose]

Hey, I'm trying to port forward my ark server, but for the tutorials I've watched, their routers only have one "Internal IP".

But in mine, it asks for a "Private IP" and a "Public IP" I assumed that that meant that I need to put the IPv4 into Private and my public IP into public, but when I went to a site that checks if your open port is visible, it says:

Error:. I could not see your service [public IP] on port (7777)

does anyone know what I'm actually supposed to put on those spots?

or maybe I did something wrong with the firewall stuff

[long vector]

guys what should I name my giga I just tamed it’s fully green

[mossy coral]

snotball

[long vector]

ok

[short ridge]

Yes but not at launch

[lethal turret]

Island to start off with

[mellow sedge]

They could have at least done like all of us during school. Upload a pdf where it gives you an error when opening . At least they would have an excuse

[unkempt trout]

I hope they make Ark Ascended worth it by at least fixing the damn download size... 🥲

[worthy pike]

Makes you laugh that Ark 2 has a steam page but not ASA

[unkempt trout]

red flags

[indigo robin]

are there phoenixs on ragnarok

[winged hamlet]

no

phoenix is SE only

[polar rose]

Think it's time to admit the truth.
Wildcard is done. They were killed by a Snail.
Only 2 weeks remaining and they can't show any type of game play?
They always put out beta type buggy games, that we happily purchase.
We report their bugs, cheats and other problems back to them and they may or may not address/fix them.
Many of us would be happy with that same experience with ASA (what's that say about us?).
This is different though.
Two weeks to go and they can't show any live game footage?
With the contract in place and the 31st being the deadline, it's not looking good for Wildcard.

[indigo robin]

does primal fear add a phoenix spawn there or sth

[thorn kernel]

What’s with the short community crunches?

[winged hamlet]

ive never used pf so no clue

[silent matrix]

Any server that start today?

[granite warren]

Ok, can i beat bosses using just megatheriums? Or do I need rexes for that?

I ❤️ my slothos

[static fjord]

broodmother, yes. but the rest will be far too difficult

[granite warren]

So go rex for other bosses? Or more of a mix? Rexes are a bit clunky in single player

[static fjord]

theris, not clunky and stronger than rexes

[worthy pike]

I think we will get it but they are just playing with us at this point

[granite warren]

Ooh never thought of using claw bois. Aren’t they a bit too squishy?

[static fjord]

theyre herbivores, so they can eat veggie cakes. each cake heals 10% of their hp up to a max of 2.1k

[polar rose]

I hope we get it but I don't think they are playing.
I think they are working their asses off trying to put together something before the 31st and don't have it working yet.
Seriously, why would they delay?

[granite warren]

Gonna give that a shot

[static fjord]

stat wise rexes are stronger but theris are smaller so more can attack at the same time (higher effective dps) and can eat cakes (higher effective hp). being unable to eat veggie cakes is the only reason rexes arent used much for the dragon, its 20% damage breath does too much to anything that cant heal quickly

[polar rose]

I thought herbivores did extra damage to the Dragon as well?

[static fjord]

you might be thinking of them taking reduced damage from the breath; i dont think they deal extra damage

[quick shard]

anyone know why whenever i hover over something it doesn’t show what it

[mortal raft]

disabled tooltips?^^

[quick shard]

how do i enable it

[fluid brook]

should be a little dialog bubble under the "crafting" part of ur inventory

[silent matrix]

Looking for someone to teach me Just hav the game dm me

[spare gyro]

So what exactly is the dreadnought bois?

[indigo robin]

huge herbi that can vomit cannonballs iirc

and some other stuff i cant remember

[spare gyro]

Oh exciting lmao

[indigo robin]

apparently good for OSDs but i think that a few movable turrets mightve been better

[silent matrix]

27015 and your pc ip then restart all and changes will be aplied

[ripe bridge]

Iirc the saddle had like inbuilt guns to turn it into a walking dreadnaught

But we also don’t know what wildcard will have kept

[hot rose]

I need to turn off the router? Like, from the button?

[mild basin]

If ASA is coming out in October, they got the shittiest marketing team of all time.

[silent matrix]

there is into the router options "restart" but i guess u can do that way too, u can also use theese or just add a rule to trigger them 27015, 27016

[hot rose]

alr thanks man

[hollow zealot]

or the best the hype train dosnt seem to be slowing down, everyone is waiting for more n more news

[mild basin]

Hype train was small to begin with. Most players don’t know ASA exists. Casual players got no clue what’s up. YouTubers are doing all the marketing.

[barren patrol]

I don't think the lack of news or marketing is at the fault of the respective teams. It's likely Snail Games telling everyone to keep quiet.

[celest basalt]

Any content on YT around ASA is complete trash lately

It's all hopium and regurgitating info..

Hats off tho to jadepg for clearing up the misinformation

And cheers to neddytgenoodle for livestreaming the community crunch last night.

Was pointless but worthy content at least better than everybody with their baseless theories

[bright trellis]

Wonder if they will make griffins or reapers breedable . Mainly griffins

[pastel hemlock]

Laaaaaame wtf is this CC. yet another big disappointment from wildcard. Hope the actual game won't be our biggest

[hot rose]

Hey, I restarted my router, but that changed my public IP and I think it messed with it

[silent matrix]

Hey

[dreamy linden]

CC?

[pastel hemlock]

Community Crunch

[dreamy linden]

Ah, yea, it wasn't even worth posting it seemed

"We are working hard"

we hope so

[long knot]

Hello, I need help, I have a problem when I don't know how to turn on the keyboard in Ark on Xbox

[shrewd agate]

Dragon does more damage to carnivores than herbivores (hence Theris>rexes) but what about omnivores like teddy bears? Anyone know?

[sharp stream]

Hydrated spino vs Bronto? (Both lvl 1)

[void dove]

Probably Spino due to attack speed

But it'll be close

[long oriole]

"more n more news" hahahaha we havent got anything at all yet

[little harbor]

will have ASA more achievements than ASE ? it would be gret to for example more achievements in the dlc like extincion aberration since every body will have the dlc with the game

[crude creek]

will asa official have straight up ZERO way to increase player movement speed?

[void dove]

Straight up ZERO

except that one thing...

[crude creek]

oh

safe to say official pvp servers are going to die, why not at least make a cap like 160% instead of straight up making it impossible to outrun a dodo?

[granite warren]

So are land dinos also stuck in terms of movement?

[crude creek]

all dinos i think i heard

[granite warren]

Damn, gonna be rough trying to get away from a raptor the first few hours xD

[sharp stream]

are industrial grills/boilers good?

[granite warren]

If you got the mats, no reason not to have em

[sharp stream]

well

good thing I have S+ so I can connect everything to a generator

[crude creek]

its gonna be so annoying unless u get tek leggings

[void dove]

Man straight up forgot Bolas exist 😂

[crude creek]

also does anyone know if asa will have more official servers? like small tribes in oce?

[sharp stream]

Simple solution: Get attacked by a deinonychus instead, the entire pack will be after you

[granite warren]

True. Damn things like to sneak up on me tho and i panic soon as a raptor’s in my face. Im imagining getting the space to toss a bola might be tricky tho if u get ambushed.

[sharp stream]

Easy solution: get a shotgun

[void dove]

You don't need space though. Just lob the sucker point-blank

Bola creates the space

[granite warren]

Once ur at a point u got a shotgun, dying to wild dinos would be pretty much rare to nonexistent tho xD

Other than the occasional thylo jumping u in redwood

[void dove]

Or learn the art of Sword n' Board.

[sharp stream]

Spinos, gigas, theri, rex.

[void dove]

Seriously, people sleeping on shields. Even wooden ones are great

[granite warren]

Ull be on a flying dino like majority of the time. Getting into a dino fight would be rare. Im usually on ptera half the time and aiming for an argentavis around shotgun stage.

[stray willow]

Where's the trailer tho

[sharp stream]

I'm at the point of having 2 spinos, a theri, a sarco, upgrading to industrial.

and still dont think I can tame an argy or get a griffin

[granite warren]

Man, it was annoying that i got back into Ark 3 days before server wipe lol. I was like “my very own server!! Sweet!! And it’s boosted?? Yay!

Then I check youtube for tricks and tips and lo and behold, ark closing down in 3 days O_O

[sharp stream]

pretty sure its only official servers shutting down

[granite warren]

Yeah official i mean xD

I meant my very own official server. I was all alone there lol

Went to herbi island, got a base made. Managed to tame my ankylo/doedec/argy set. Even managed to tame a therezino.

I was all set T_T

[sharp stream]

probably because snail games is banning people for raiding their employee's base (from what I heard)

[granite warren]

Yeah, sucks that they do that. But i still ❤️ official tho vs single player. I don’t lose my save everytime my PS5 crashes

And my ps5 crashes like 3-4 times an hour running ark

[sharp stream]

lmao my old xbox one crashes less

(at the cost of having 30 fps)

[granite warren]

It’s annoying if i move to a large area and the game loads it. Bam! Crash. And when i log out so i can do some chores or help out the wife = crash (lose my save). The log out thing is like roll of a dice, it crashes over half the time whenever i log out. XD

[grim forum]

thats only happening on conquest

[spark sedge]

God yes

A while back on an RP server I played a knight. As part of being a knight, I got into the habit of carrying a shield at all times. I'd never used one before

Over my years on that server, I learned how borderline busted shields are. I survived shit that I had no business surviving thanks to that shield, up to and including occassionally fighting a boss on foot alongside the dinosaurs (briefly)

Everything has a rhythm with its attacks. One on one you can block, attack, block, and keep that up until the thing is dead. If you're being mobbed, the shield can buy you time to get away

Chibis got me out of the habit of carrying one at all times, but I'll still go for a trusty shield whenever I'm going into a boss fight or Genesis mission

[narrow relic]

Hey anyone wanna hop on

[void dove]

This man gets it
RP too?

Absolute quality

[narrow relic]

Heu zen wanna hop on

[void dove]

Nope
Try #1110949794907684965

[sharp stream]

how hungry do basilosaurus have to be to be fed again??

[void dove]

First feed is instant, second takes ages for some reason. After the second it's probably every 20-30 seconds or so?

[sharp stream]

I cant tell if I'm lucky or unlucky to be taming a low level

because only god knows how long a 150 would take

[void dove]

Probably not too much longer once it starts eating at regular intervals

[mossy plaza]

Ooo I forgot about that! I hope they change it for Asa, I hated that initial wait lol

[sharp stream]

for the 2nd feed

[void dove]

But any Basi is good enough to start getting your feet wet in the ocean

[sharp stream]

I honestly prefer an ichthy or sarco for speed

whats basilo good for

[void dove]

Immune to shocks and grabs, Tuso killer

[mossy plaza]

I still prefer basi in water caves

[sharp stream]

wait, its immune to kapro dismounts?

[spark sedge]

I don't think that passive teams are actually based on food

[slender zinc]

Anyone know if the steam deck will be able to run ark survival ascended?

[spark sedge]

I've watched their food and it goes well below what a kibble feeding would take for them to want their second bite

[void dove]

Hm... I think Kapros can get your player still if they get a good angle

But should be mostly safe

[spark sedge]

Kapros have to Agro on you

[sharp stream]

well it depends if they can get up to you

[spark sedge]

But they don't care about most ocean creatures

[void dove]

That too

[mossy plaza]

They meant tuso grabs

[sharp stream]

oh

[spark sedge]

Actually most of the Dismount teams in general have to be Agro to your creature to get at you

[sharp stream]

idk what a tuso is

[void dove]

Big squid

[spark sedge]

They're not that big of a deal even if they grab you

[sharp stream]

I've only seen ichthys, megalodons, mantas, and more ichthys

[spark sedge]

Most ocean creatures worth riding can either get away or fight back while they're grabbed

[void dove]

Some mounts have a hard time hitting back if grabbed, but yeah not terrible unless there's a bunch or an Alpha

[mossy plaza]

Squid are extremely deep in the ocean only

[spark sedge]

They live in the deep water

[void dove]

Squid Trench on Ragnarok 😂🥹

[spark sedge]

Same for mosasaurs and Plesiosaurus

Yeah the squid pit has a bunch of them but everywhere else they're rare as hell

[sharp stream]

explains why I've never tamed the 3

[mossy plaza]

They can’t follow you to the surface, they basically are stuck below a certain depth

[spark sedge]

The pit is actually a really good place to go if you want to tame a squid

[void dove]

Fosho, just hard to isolate them sometimes

[spark sedge]

Also in general I kind of feel like basilosaurus is not actually that great of a squid killer

Once they start running away Basi cannot keep up

I've had a lot more success with Mosasaurus even if it can get grabbed

In fact when they grab it that's a great time to do a lot of damage

[void dove]

I like them for the shock immunity. Fighting anything with roaming Eels ruining your damage every 2 seconds sucks

[spark sedge]

Eh

Eels and jellyfish are overhyped

[mossy plaza]

Yeahhhh…mosa with a platform saddle or using another squid is better to fight then

[remote basin]

Hiya

[sharp stream]

why did the basilo drain back to 22%

[void dove]

Not when Eels used to dismount and stun too 🥹

[spark sedge]

Eels are a temporary nuisance at best, jellyfish just ask you to pay the slightest bit of attention to your surroundings

Everything can hit a jellyfish before it gets range enough to do its thing. Even humans

[mossy plaza]

I just wish jellyfish glowed more lmao, I never notice them in a big tussle till it’s too late

[sharp stream]

I almost just died to a manta lmao

[void dove]

Almost got Irwin'd

[remote basin]

💀

[grim forum]

no they cant, and on top of that your not bringing a basilo to a swamp 💀

[mossy plaza]

The dimorphodon of the sea!

[spark sedge]

Says you

[void dove]

Depends on the swamp. Crystal Isles has decent channels to pass through, and Rag too to get into the canyon area

[sharp stream]

so why did the basilo drain back to 22% tamed

[void dove]

Manta hit it by mistake?

[spark sedge]

It probably got hit

When you're Taming a basi you've got to kill its protection detail first

[sharp stream]

sounds like I should clear the area more

or trap it

[spark sedge]

Don't bother with the Trap

Just fire a harpoon or crossbow Bolt at the manta rays to get their attention, slaughter them all, then you're set

[sharp stream]

I thought I already killed all of them with my sarco

but apparently not

[void dove]

Feeding or attacking a Basilo will aggro every manta in the vicinity because reasons

[sharp stream]

I love how it says followers enraged and the ichthys just start staring into my soul

[spark sedge]

The dossier gives the reason

They're following the basi for a free meal, and if you're feeding it that threatens their food supply and pisses them off

[sharp stream]

well I mean

wouldnt you be angry if someone stole all of your food?

[sage crest]

could anyone help me learn how to play ark on pc and or just play with me

[sharp stream]

its tamed 🙂

[dusky hazel]

Gtx 1060 enough to play asa?

[sharp stream]

hold on

basilosaurus produce refined oil?

[torpid garnet]

just a quick question, is wc still shitting on the whole community or do we have something new?

[void dove]

I don't think they're shitting on anyone 🤔

[sterile robin]

no one really knows atm fr specs. if that is similiar to a 1070 you should be fine.

[hollow maple]

It should be, yeah.

[molten quartz]

So rx 580 should be good too I hope

[eternal pollen]

I'm afraid my i5 7400 won't run Asa very well 😢

[spark sedge]

Not refined. They produce a kind of oil which spoils

But is used for all the same stuff normal oil is

You can also kill and harvest wild/not so wild basis to harvest big amounts of normal oil

[dusky lintel]

When asa?

I jave 3060 ti with i5 12400 and hope asa will work well on this crappy setup

[void dove]

End of October

[stray willow]

Allegedly

[sharp stream]

so its basically passive oil production

[spark sedge]

Yep

[sharp stream]

finally

[spark sedge]

They'll produce up to 20 at a time

[sharp stream]

I can finally stop getting mauled to death by megalodons and manta while trying to get oil

[spark sedge]

So clean 'em out. Or get s+ stuff to auto collect if that's an option

Dung beetles are another source of oil

[sharp stream]

any idea where I can get dung beetles

[spark sedge]

The amounts both of these give pale in comparison to harvesting, mind

Which map are you playing?

[north pike]

dung beetle cave on fjordur is probably the safest bet

[languid moon]

I always got my beetles from the desert on rag

[spark sedge]

The answer where to find them as different on different maps

[sharp stream]

is it near the area with a bunch of lymantria/moths? (crystal isles)

[spark sedge]

The desert

[sharp stream]

alright

[spark sedge]

You'll want to look in the desert Dunes area, or caves

[sharp stream]

what do they eat

[spark sedge]

Poop

[void dove]

Feces, the larger the better

[spark sedge]

They are dung beetles

Grab a few large feces and you'll be fine

Level them exclusively in weight, too

So that they can carry more poop when you get them home

[sharp stream]

so do they just automatically fertilize plants?

and occasionally eat some of the feces?

[spark sedge]

So what you do is put poop in their inventory and set them on wander

After a while they turn the poop into fertilizer and oil

Set up a little cage or Hitching Post for them so they can wander safely

[sharp stream]

does turning the feces into fertilizer and oil fill their hunger?

[spark sedge]

Or just put them directly in your Greenhouse that's what I do

I believe so. They probably also eat spoiled meat from a trough

If you have any decent number of animals they will never be hungry

[sharp stream]

I have a phiomia

so its probably gonna be fine with just that

especially since I have a ton of stimberries

[spark sedge]

One beetle can power a farm on its own

Get several and you'll quickly run into a fertilizer storage issue

Especially with s+/ss automation in play

[steep wagon]

What map should I start with?

I have: Fjordur, Lost Island, The Center, and Ragnorok.

[void dove]

First time? The Island.

[steep wagon]

Yeah first time.

[ember epoch]

is it save to delete all folders in mods folder?

[void dove]

Nothing really wrong with the free maps, but true Bobs always start on the Island

[void dove]

If you unsubscribe from all mods, I think so

[spark sedge]

The island is generally the simplest experience and probably the easiest one to wrap your head around as you're learning the game

[steep wagon]

Noted. Thanks!

[spark sedge]

A lot of the free maps are good starting areas and are probably honestly better introductions, but they generally involve a lot more of mechanics and later game dinosaurs and such like which is a lot for a new person to absorb all at once

[ripe bridge]

^

[void dove]

^
Plus Ragnarok, Center, and Fjordur tend to be cold, harder for newer players to survive until they learn how to deal with it better

[ripe bridge]

Ragnarok is an ok map to learn scorched earth-lite before diving into SE proper as it offers a nice sized desert area, but it’s still a map you’d want to play after getting some experience

[honest dagger]

anyone wana go ark with mods

[spark sedge]

If you do really want to start on one of those DLC maps though I would suggest Ragnarok

Rag is pretty much just the island but a little bit bigger so as long as you're not starting in the highlands you'll have a very similar experience to the island

It also has Shrek's house so you know it's got that going for it

[void dove]

Highlands way overrated imo. Hardly any resources for starting out. West Coast or South way better

[spark sedge]

I'd mostly just say avoid the highlands because the whole thing is a giga spawn point

Plus has the wyvern trench real close by

So if you're not prepared to deal with either of those it's not a great place to plop your first base

[void dove]

Everyone always says 'highlands so pretty!'

Yeah, if you like looking at nothing

[spark sedge]

It's got some interesting set pieces and base bait locations

[void dove]

Base bait locations 😂

[spark sedge]

Like the White House or that one cave that's big enough to walk a giga into and is pretty easily walled off with a single Behemoth gate

Wait am I the only one that uses that term

[void dove]

I haven't heard it before

[spark sedge]

A base bait location is one that is obviously intended to have a base built there

Usually flat, centered around some interesting piece of geography, access to resources is optional but is often part of it

A lot of bigger ruins in the free DLC maps count like the castle in the swamp in Ragnarok or the Redwoods Fortress in val

But the official maps are littered with them too, like the Hidden Lake. Or the scorched Earth Manticore Coliseum

[void dove]

Hidden Lake also overrated 😂

[spark sedge]

Anywhere you can just hear the map designers whispering in your ear to build there

[dreamy linden]

If I spay a female dino, will she still naturally lay eggs?

[sharp stream]

I tamed a jerboa 😄

oh yeah uh, how do I tame an arthropluera

without it becoming aggro

[void dove]

Bug spray, Ghillie, and approach from the sides. Cactus Broth might help too

[sharp stream]

blood crystal, ember crystal, or tropical crystal wyvern

and should I tame a golem

[void dove]

Either one is alright. Bloods can absorb health which is neat. Tropical is basically just a rebranded Ember

Golems are kinda slow. Decent for gathering stone, but I forget if they have weight reduction. Doedic is usually a better option for gathering

[sharp stream]

in terms of damage

and health

[deft otter]

golems are good for soaking turrets

[molten quartz]

Are stegos still best for rocket running??

Can you get shot off of it by turrets?

[sharp stream]

how do I get primal crystals from crystal wyverns?

[molten quartz]

Tranq it out, netgun is recommended

Then just press e on it after it's out

[idle nacelle]

Any info about state of Game? Still on track on october?

[void dove]

Still on track for October

[past sentinel]

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

[idle nacelle]

Kk Got It

[sharp stream]

does putting items in a container on a platform saddle affect the dinos weight

[void dove]

Yes

[steep wagon]

Newbie complaint but screw those giant ass mosquito things. They zip around so fast and I can barely get a hit on them.

[void dove]

The dragonflies? Yeah they can be annoying 😂
I usually crouch down while walking backwards and swing/stab upward

[steep wagon]

Noted. I’ll have to give that a try next time I come into contact with them.

[opaque orchid]

Does anyone know how I can allow flying in caves on Fjordur, but NOT allow flying in realms (Asgard, etc) on my private dedi server? I did -ForceAllowCaveFlyers but that seems to have turned on flying in realms also which I don't want.

[void dove]

I think they're linked. If you're on Steam then I think uh ... Custom Spawners mod has a thingy you can place to prevent flying in an area

Simple Spawners. That's the one

[opaque orchid]

Hmmm I didn't want to add another mod...I remember last time I was on Fjordur we were able to fly in caves but not realms, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how...

[sharp stream]

It'd be funny if a leed was tamable but just had an absurd amount of torpor

and requires an absurd amount of food

[void dove]

Preferred Kibble: Rafts 😂

[bronze hamlet]

have it be a dodge each hit to gain taming effectiveness

[sharp stream]

and if you manage to tame it then it could just be an underwater titanosaurus

also, should you trap a crystal wyvern while trying to tame it?

I'm gonna knock one out for its crystals and find a higher lvl

[void dove]

If you can, yeah. Makes the process a lot less of a headache since they fly around a lot

[sharp stream]

this video I'm watching says you can also just go on its back and lay down

ehh, its not like I need to only use primal crystals

I finish off the last 40-30% with regular crystals

[hollow maple]

I cannot WAIT for fixed snap points so I can finally build without wanting to claw my own face off

[foggy bone]

Is it possible for ark asa to handle my laptop rtx 3050 and 8gb ram and 200 spare gb

[dim field]

someone wanna play ark?

[rugged cedar]

anyone know good points for lvl 190 max? ik for good points lvl 150 max is 30 and above but idk about 180 (tek) 190 (wyvern atd) and 225 crystal wyverns

[sharp stream]

can you tame a wyvern after harvesting its primal crystals?

[rugged cedar]

ye

[rugged cedar]

only crystal wyverns btw

[sharp stream]

so its just aggro'd for a few seconds-a couple minutes?

duh

its too bad some of the crystal wyverns are only tamable through eggs

[rugged cedar]

U can tame crystal wyverns who spawn on different places than in the desert

But they are only lvl 150

[sharp stream]

lmao I think the crystal wyvern I harvested from hates me now

[rugged cedar]

yeah those will be aggresive until u leave enough distance

[sharp stream]

Good thing it was near water so I can escape on my spino

I was starting to think that the only escape was Destroywilddinos

[rugged cedar]

bump

[dreamy linden]

What are you asking?

[thorny granite]

Anyone know if there is a spoil timer glitch?
I recently copied my save over from my old PC, and it's been running well.
Only, I just noticed when going through inventories, that some of my items (cooked meat, jerky, eggs, kibble), the spoil timer no longer counts down? While others do (raw meat, veggies, etc).
I double-checked my settings and my spoil time is set to 2.0.
Any ideas?

[rugged cedar]

how mamy points are good for lvl. 190 creatures (wyverns etc)

[dreamy linden]

Like when you go to tame one and you see how many points they've spent?

[rugged cedar]

like lvl 150 (para rex etc) have 30+ are decent points

[rugged cedar]

yeah something like that

[dreamy linden]

I've been playing 180 max settings, 55-58 pts is pretty high to see, it seems

[thorny granite]

I mean it's not really a huge problem I suppose, but feels a little cheaty I guess, with certain things no longer spoiling 😆

[dreamy linden]

?

Changing the max lvl of creatures?

[thorny granite]

Unless it's just the timer itself that's borked, and they are spoiling... I'll have to see if the green line shrinks I suppose.

[dreamy linden]

disregard my last

[dreamy linden]

the higher the spoil timer, the faster the spoil

[thorny granite]

Oh I realize that.

[foggy bone]

Btw will ark asa using same details official server from ark 1?

[thorny granite]

What I'm seeing now, is that some items are NOT spoiling. The timer does not move at all.

[dreamy linden]

Any mods installed?

[thorny granite]

Since I moved it to my new PC.

[cedar forge]

tbh why does it matter

[thorny granite]

Nope no mods

[cedar forge]

It probbaly got glitched when transfering the saves over

[dreamy linden]

playing single player? or on a server?

[thorny granite]

Single player.

Everything else seems the same as when I was playing it on my old PC. This is the only thing I've noticed (so far).

[rugged cedar]

thanks so u guess tek dinos lvl 180 max are 50+ points for decent?

[dreamy linden]

tek's I've not dabbled with yet, can't find any :/

[rugged cedar]

ah sry u told lvl 180 so i thought u talking about tel u knew how many points xD

[cedar forge]

Yes, 45-50 for 180 is good

[dreamy linden]

and with the settings @ 180 max, that makes teks at 200 something

[rugged cedar]

u got lvl 190?

[thorny granite]

And no, it's not a huge deal, I suppose, just feels like I'm gaming the system a little if my eggs and kibble and rare flowers and etc. no longer spoil. But my raw meat and veggies still do. lol

[dreamy linden]

210 something

[rugged cedar]

lnow*

[cedar forge]

You are thinking about this too hard, you are playing a game that will be dead in a month.......

[rugged cedar]

know jesus cant spell on phone lol

[thorny granite]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dreamy linden]

not even a month

[thorny granite]

I will probably still check in on my ASE save, afterwards. I'd miss my tames otherwise.

[dreamy linden]

we're less than 15 days now

[rugged cedar]

15 days until what?

[dreamy linden]

nah, you'll have tames

ASA

[thorny granite]

Yes, but not these ones 😂

[dreamy linden]

🤣

[thorny granite]

And I may not buy ASA right away either. We'll see.

[rugged cedar]

asa? whats that xD im a bit behind ark atm last time played 22 feb lol

[thorny granite]

I finally got it up on my new PC so I can finally play without lag. I have some catching up to do.

[rugged cedar]

ah like the remake of ark? asednent or how its spelt lol

[cedar forge]

Oh my

[rugged cedar]

ya know good decet points for lvl 190 btw?

[thorny granite]

Though the upcoming ASA is why I decided to just continue this save, instead of starting from scratch now that I can run the game normally.

[cedar forge]

Bro is so out of the loop, Ark is being remade in Ue5. It comes out in less then 15 days

[rugged cedar]

Ahhhh

[cedar forge]

You cant play that save on ASA.

[thorny granite]

Yeah I know.

[rugged cedar]

Im buying that lol btw old ark will get removed from steam by any chance?

[cedar forge]

No, but they shut down all the official servers

[thorny granite]

no ASE will still be there, just no longer updated

[rugged cedar]

ah i dokt play there good xD

[cedar forge]

And chances are all the Unofficial servers will migrate to ASA

[dreamy linden]

ASA is a remaster of the current Ark as you know it. Remade in high quality with new content/creatures. Coming the end of OCT

[cedar forge]

plus ASE will no longer get updates

[dreamy linden]

ASE is toast

[rugged cedar]

ah thanks idc about updates i just need to finish the game first xd i still havent properly killed bods after 2.4k+ hours LOL

[cedar forge]

Complete the game is ASA then

Its going to have tons of new content

[dreamy linden]

all thats left is single player and dedicated servers

[modest wharf]

are we gonna have to rebuy dlc for asa or is it gonna be buy the base game just dlc maps are coming later included

[rugged cedar]

and btw anyone knows good stats for crystal wyverns?

[stiff summit]

Dlc come later. They're included with the game

[dreamy linden]

Yes

[modest wharf]

the first?

[dreamy linden]

rebuy

[plucky heron]

Im pretty sure its included

[stiff summit]

It's not rebuy. They come with the game

[dreamy linden]

dlc coming later

[modest wharf]

oh yippiee

[plucky heron]

its 50$ for everything with the dlc

[dreamy linden]

nah

[plucky heron]

unless the one other map they said there adding will cost money but genesis and scorched and all that will be with the 50

[thorny granite]

yeah

[plucky heron]

I just hope when they eventually drop extinction gen 1 gen 2 etc they nerf ele gains by like 90% so that they are similar to island ele gain from bosses

[cedar forge]

Thats the whole point of those maps.... They are end game maps

[plucky heron]

Games more fun without that much ele tho all im sayin

my ext base on pvp had 30 cloning chambers that i could run nonstop like that shouldnt be possible lmao thats to easy

one ele vein on smalls was like 1k+ ele

[cedar forge]

All nerfing resources does is makes the game harder for the small guys

[plucky heron]

it makes it harder for everyone

[void dove]

$40 with at-launch discount, $45 while in early access until all ASE DLCs are released and ready

[cedar forge]

The big mega tribes will still have unlimited resources

[plucky heron]

Well they would either way

dino stat reset will be nice too not having a 1k melee giga on hatch will make a difference for drops and stuff lmaooo

[cedar forge]

Well, Then atleast a tribe that plays smalls legit with 6 can get good ele too, right?

[plucky heron]

I see what your saying but its so skewed compared to the island center rag etc

that it should be nerfed I shouldnt be able to get 1k element in 20 minutes when it takes me 2 hrs to get all the artifacts and tributes for 200 element

[dreamy linden]

If I spay a dino, will she still lay eggs?

[cedar forge]

ya

[dreamy linden]

just won't breed?

[cedar forge]

ya

[dreamy linden]

kool, thanks

[plucky heron]

I just think element should be consistent against all three maps like the rates that you get for what you do if that makes sense

[cedar forge]

Maybe reduce the grind on the other maps

Make it just the artifacts and not so many apex drops

[plucky heron]

Or reduce the output on extinction and gen 1 i shouldnt be able to do 1 vein or 1 volcano ele run and be able to fill 40 tek turrets to the max

[cedar forge]

Teks are easy to counter....

[plucky heron]

im just saying bruh you gotta agree thats a little broken

I could go on gen 2 with a tek stryder and have 5k element lmao

[mossy relic]

if i was banned on offical ase will i be banned in asa?

[cedar forge]

yes

[silent matrix]

Probably not it's a new game

[keen snow]

There is no way to know this for sure.

We haven't seen anything at all other than vague and non specific hype.

[trail temple]

Any info on asa yet?

[keen snow]

Not that I've seen, nope.

Lots of guesswork though.

[trail temple]

😵

[safe osprey]

What the heck do you have to do to get banned? 😐

[wet widget]

He was probably meshing or duping

[mossy relic]

tribe was built in a rat hole

[wet widget]

Or that

[mossy relic]

happened years ago

[mossy relic]

gen 1 underwater shadowmane rat hole to be exact, we were going to tear it down the dev found it

[safe osprey]

How is that bannable??

[mossy relic]

its against tos

[wet widget]

You are technically building inside map assets. Its considered a form of meshing

[safe osprey]

Understood

[mossy relic]

man it was a accessible cave

T.T

[wet widget]

There is a spot on the far end of Rockwell side above water that had a little hole like that too in the bloodstalker area. Tribe on the gen 2 pvp map I played for a bit that had it got devwiped too

[dreamy linden]

There are so many contradicting PVP/PVE settings .... what are the settings that are preventing me from killing my unclaimed baby dinos?

[winged hamlet]

being on pve instead of pvp

[dreamy linden]

... ok, why is it that I can punch and dmg my tribemate?

[void dove]

Friendly Fire on?

[dreamy linden]

what's the difference between bPveDisableFriendlyFire and bDisableFriendlyFire?

[dreamy linden]

I guess it was, thanks

does PveDisableFriendlyFire only matter if you have PVE disabled?

[void dove]

I'm not really sure

[ember prism]

When's ark ascended dropping?

[dreamy linden]

"End of OCT"

[slow sedge]

is there a place/time to ask the devs questionsor do we just gotta gte lucky

[dreamy linden]

👀 just ask your question ....

[slow sedge]

personally i want to know if all flyers will have the swoop/dive mechanic

most likely not tho ;-;

[dreamy linden]

all flyers highly doubt that

it's a unique ability to certain creatures

[slow sedge]

yeah probably

[shell hull]

I made a tek para farm, but my theri kills the babies too quickly, and they just vanish. How do I prevent this?

[reef cosmos]

guys, while running a dedicated server; usage of 11-13gb ram is normal??

i plan to run it 2-3 hours daily

[void dove]

People ... seriously still use these?
Just get a couple Gachas for metal and pearls or Dust. Way more efficient

[shell hull]

How do I get gachas on rag

[stiff summit]

Don't think you can. Gotta transfer to extinction

[shell hull]

I know

[stiff summit]

You asked

[shell hull]

I know

[stiff summit]

[shell hull]

I don’t even know how to transfer stuff, or even tame/use gachas. I just stared to play ark again

[stiff summit]

I know

[winged hamlet]

you cryopod the gacha, then transfer your character to rag

[slow sedge]

false

[cedar coral]

building in rathole is bannable?

i thought only if meshing?

[void dove]

That rathole was meshing, just stupidly easy to access

[hasty yoke]

i have a question

i deleted my data on ark so now i don’t have my skins on ark

can i get them back or no because i already have the achievements

[void dove]

Go to Advanced Settings then check 'Give Default Survivor Items'
Die and respawn and you should be littered with skins and such

[hasty yoke]

are those the achievement skins?

[void dove]

Yes

[hasty yoke]

also it was already on

i have the dlc skins just not achievement skins

[void dove]

Bone costumes, couple holiday stuff (Easter egg hat, Independence Day hat, ect), Tek skins, Hunter Hat, Homodeus/Corrupted Survivor if you got those notes

Ah, then I'm not too sure how to restore those

Did you reset your Achievement progress? May need to re-get them?

[hasty yoke]

i survived to day 2 so you’d think i should get the sparkler skin

[hasty yoke]

no i have a bunch of achievements

[void dove]

I dunno then

[mossy relic]

idk i just joiined the tribe and they were built in it

[long vector]

would a sabertooth perform well in central cave?

[void dove]

Well enough. Mind the Arthros since they can still melt your armor and kill your survivor if there's enough of them

[long vector]

ok

[craggy mortar]

Anybody interested playing on the hardcore clusters?

[solemn marsh]

whats the best map/location for metal

[idle nacelle]

Abberation i think

[past sentinel]

Ragnarok metal mountain that divides redwoods from the desert

[solemn marsh]

whats the best place to find magmasaurs

[long knot]

Hi

[silent matrix]

How's that better than aberration? U can get like 6 dedis capped in less than 1m on ab

can't wait for abb

never played abb fresh. it's my fave map by far

[past sentinel]

For starters no movement restrictions on Rag as well as don't have to carry a light pet everywhere. I'd take 6 Argys to metal mountain every day over Abb any time.

[silent matrix]

Even with that though, abberation would be better and faster right?

I'm just curious btw not tryna have a argument or smt

[hasty yoke]

i’ve gone afk and then killed myself and still didn’t get the sparkler

[past sentinel]

If you use it regularly sure, but Abb is one of the least populated map I have ever seen in any cluster I have played. Pretty sure it mostly only played in PvP lol

[silent matrix]

Oh prob, pve seems overall better for abb besides the drakes and resource gathering

[void dove]

Ab is bae

[solemn marsh]

is there a mod or setting that allows me to upload a charachter with items in its inventory ik ark data exists

[tribal vault]

what are the devs gonna do about account sharing

On smalls

[dense panther]

will asa be on geforce now or any other cloud gaming

[shell hull]

I found a unicorn, and tried to pick it up with my argy…

It then ran right into a lv 100 giga

[long vector]

does anyone play ark on switch, if so i wanna play ark with someone i have the island and Ragnarok maps

if u want tho

[peak sinew]

I can’t process a switch running ark… mine shits out after 3 hours of smash

[edgy cape]

hey im curious what other peoples take is on this. when they made it so we could breed rock drakes and wyverns, i felt like it took away the motivation to actually go search out those dinos. even with event colors i was always the person who wanted to farm non breeds though. what you guys think would it be better if we can breed wyverns and drakes at launch of asa or no? personally id prefer going back to the non breed system

[long vector]

it might be cause i have a chip in mine that lets me have like 256 GB and i have 184 left

[unique topaz]

@long vector

ARK: Survival Evolved Switch:

The ARK Switch official Discord can be found here: https://discord.gg/Q5E9F3bVfC

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

[long vector]

thank you

[sharp stream]

is plant species x, y, and z worth having

[cinder folio]

plant x for sure on asa if your a small tribe and you cant get too turrets fast

[sharp stream]

singleplayer

[oak girder]

are female gigas rare?

[sharp stream]

I like kicking pegomastax into oblivion with a procoptodon

[icy kraken]

Only plant X

And it’s easier if u have a mod for auto funnel like sink storage

[silent matrix]

I like the breeding since you still have to look for those initial breeder eggs. Imo looking for eggs constantly felt not as good because it was just a Matter of rng

Any rng removed is a win in my book

[icy kraken]

Same for me

[safe steeple]

anyone know if ark smart breeder will work for ASA?

[void dove]

Probably unless stats per points get messed with

[spiral stag]

anyone interesting to play primal fear with me PVE

[sharp stream]

good places for dimorphs?

[plucky heron]

Non breeding again would be sweet high stat wyverns were broken in pvp too once there stats got up there

[sharp stream]

and how do I even get cosmetics and chibis

[plucky heron]

RNG makes it fun tho like finding that high level egg was exciting yk what I mean

Yall thing dino levelcap on island will be 120 like it was when we started

Wild dino^ *

[wide socket]

if they fix max mutation the games becomes 20 times better

[plucky heron]

wdym like 20 20 being max

[wide socket]

um wdym ? xd what i meant was 20 mutations max ye

[oak girder]

is it possible to get tames and items lost when the barrier destroyed you?

[sweet garden]

barrier destroys all

[plucky heron]

theres 20 mutations on each side so 20 20 would be max so 40 mutations total

[dreamy linden]

Does breed cooldown timers continue while in a cyropod?

[oak girder]

damn

[wide socket]

i see , but they said they wont limit mutations so that really doesnt matter atm

[plucky heron]

I like that mutations arent limited

[wide socket]

why ?

a dodo with more hp than a trex ? comeon ...

well i didnt calculate that but im guessing it is closely possible

[plucky heron]

bc people who grind for months shouldnt be able to be caught up to in a month on mutations

but I also think they should reset every 2 years or something lol

also gives something for people to work for dino wise

[wide socket]

well here is the thing , i returned to the game 3 times in these 2 years i played this game

and you know what i did everytime i came back ?

[plucky heron]

bought tames off people

[void dove]

No, but there are mod versions of Cryos that do. Dino Storage 2 is my go-to

[wide socket]

i went to different servers , searched for bases abt to expire , looted what they had , like 300 tec walls, traded it for gacha ,and then afk for 100 hours or more in the tower to gather dust

[plucky heron]

okay well you forgot that there are no cryos to start

[wide socket]

then after all of this i had everything

[plucky heron]

so there is no looting dinos

[north pike]

mutations are not limited now. you are just capped at 255 in each stat or a hard level cap.

[plucky heron]

yeah but 255 was hit after like 4 years of ark lol

[wide socket]

it will be hit way faster now tho

[plucky heron]

especially on 1x official with 14 days to raise a giga like itll take awhile still

1000 melee damage gigas on hatch was just stupid

also raising will be harder again no maewings no cryos for imprints no egg incubators

you get it it will take longer then people think

[north pike]

thats why i never play official. I don't have time to wait that long for breeding

[plucky heron]

God i hope they just never rerelease gen 2 lmao game was fun till that came out

[granite warren]

Ok got my megathereum to 35k health. 1000 melee, are there any stats it needs for bossing?

Even alpha?

[wide socket]

with unlimited mutation its not like you have something unique either ... cause you said it takes ppl time to reach it , but imagine this , everyone goes out and hunt for high stat dino , now what you make at the end of your breeding is something no one else has and can be the best there is , while with unlimited mutation its just abt teams of farmers selling the latest product cause they have 10 different account on each 450 dinos out in server fully on breed mod , lagging the servers and ruining the hunting for stats gameplay

[granite warren]

I got asc saddles xD

[silent matrix]

Are color m more common thab stat ones

[plucky heron]

99% of people arent doing that

[silent matrix]

Also whats the chance for a mutation

[wide socket]

both but mainly pve

[plucky heron]

pvp people cant store the dinos without them getting killed

like there just isnt enough spots and they cant get the dinos into caves until tps

[granite warren]

Ok how do i speed up healing on my tames? I got their health to 35k but the healing is taking forever

[plucky heron]

daedon

sv?

[hollow maple]

Stranglethorn Vale

[granite warren]

Nvm, it sped up for some reason lol

[plucky heron]

wdym if the servers already claimed

these are gonna be capped servers people can snipe tames whenever they want to

someone starts a ptera line they take 3 shots to the head to die lmao

i can tame snipe with a mf longneck

oh thats different tho

[north pike]

so I am not the only one that thought that

[plucky heron]

its 1x you can literally mutate a giga 6 times maximum

before transfers open

[wide socket]

thats called stv not sv , sw on other hand is stormwind xd

[plucky heron]

I honestly have no problem with the op dinos

just dont bring back gen 2 or cryopods and itll bring alot more non cave bases to the game

also nerf element gain on extinction and gen 1 by 90% so it balances out with the other maps because of how easy it is

so are people gonnna go back to building fat boxes as bases? like they cant put them in a cave theres only like 3 viable caves on the island

and tps arent gonna get built by everyone immediately

then those are just gonna be easy raids

snow carno

i dont give af about mega 1x pvp tbh

smalls is the way especially if they fix botting and stuff

[strong kettle]

Is there a place here to look for someone to play with

[plucky heron]

i mean atleast they cant cap the server

itll be more competitive then a mega having 70 on lmao

[north pike]

you underestimate me and my penguin breeding program for ice cave... that and snails LUL

[ivory lagoon]

when is the next community crunch

[plucky heron]

its still 6v6 tho instead of 67v3

[north pike]

next friday

[plucky heron]

because the server is capped with 67 of one tribe

[ivory lagoon]

Ok ty

[plucky heron]

im hoping its 24th release day they usually release ontuesdays so wouldnt be surprised

im just saying

smalls will have 20 different tribes on each server at start so itll make it interesting with base spots

there isnt 20 good base spots on the island so people will have to build in spots they dont want to

[ivory lagoon]

I had this week off and asa isnt out yet

[plucky heron]

Id bet its the 24th or 31s

they usually release on tuesdays and they said towards late october not the end of october which makes me think itll be 24th

bro there is no transfers for the first 3 months

[ivory lagoon]

2 yes

December they release schorched along with transfer I believe they said

[plucky heron]

still 2 months

I like how there are console only servers which will be nice no botters

definitely gonna play them if pc has a ton of aimbotters

[ivory lagoon]

ong

[plucky heron]

if meshing is fixed it fixes a lot in general lol

[ivory lagoon]

Getting killed on the head or through the wall

[plucky heron]

if duping and meshing is fixed i Can live with botting cant believe ijm saying that lmao

significantly less people do tho

[sharp stream]

1 golem vs 3 elementals?

[plucky heron]

?

I really think if they nerf element gain and never let tek stryders back in the game itll keep the game fun

ps4 servers honestly were not that bad

you could atleast build a base or hide a reaper without getting esped 24/7

[ivory lagoon]

When I played they were dead

[plucky heron]

it still reduces the amount of people

^^

you can j gameshare tho

[north pike]

thats how I log into the same server with my pc and my xbox

my xbox char stays at base grinding bullets while my pc char is off server raiding

[plucky heron]

Meshing and duping I can live with botting tbh

[fluid brook]

let's just change topic

[ivory lagoon]

Wonder who will get raided first between pc Xbox and ps5

[north pike]

you cant use a sniper rifle from the back of a stego

[eager orbit]

Many allies got pc and console tribes in em

[ivory lagoon]

Already?

[eager orbit]

Yeah

[ivory lagoon]

You know some?

[sharp stream]

decided to sacrifice my pteranodon for an ember wyvern egg

[north pike]

I have never been able to equip a sniper on the back of the stego it always says invalid weapon

[ivory lagoon]

Cuz on tribe map I don’t see any but idk

[sharp stream]

good thing I have death recovery ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[eager orbit]

CNN discord had the lists

[ivory lagoon]

Can you send me that dc plz

I haven’t seen any in between platforms yet tho

Maybe I’m just blind

[silent matrix]

I guess thats just where we disagree on what makes the game fun for us

[ivory lagoon]

When 200 ppl of the same tribe playing on 1 server maybe not gonna be a problem xd

Ohhhh

Smalls gonna be no sleepers until they get the caves fully ready

[north pike]

thats when you tame/breed a bunch of penguins and snails to send into ice cave or even carno

[ivory lagoon]

I don’t like smalls cuz I actually have to do stuff 😎

Smalls may be fun but it sure takes a lot of effort and time doesn’t it?

Ye, I prefer oficial where there is 50 ppl of each time zone

So I don’t have to worry much

On official they only ask for quota and the rest is up to you basically

[plucky heron]

people are def gonna block artifacts its just the smart thing to do

PVE will be funny as hell

people running around pillaring everything

[ivory lagoon]

Gotta get those foundation control fast

[plucky heron]

nah thats tos

if you pillar its fine like people will pillar metal mountain carno island etc

oh yeah obv not in pvp

what are odds they show trailer friday and announce game coming out tuesday

for twitch con

2027

I seriously think itll be th 24th

they notoriuously release on tuesdays and the next tuesday would be 31st

[bright canopy]

It’s gonna be weird seeing how pvp develops

[plucky heron]

pteras actually gnna be in pvp again its crazy

[bright canopy]

No whips on island so

[plucky heron]

gigas wont one shot everything

[ivory lagoon]

Ps5 will probably bluescreen every 5 minutes in raids with all those tribes in 1 server

[plucky heron]

with 2000 md lmao the best ones will literally be 200 after tame

[bright canopy]

Yea I’m scared for how ps5 will run the game tbh but I’m not playing 1x so I’m not terribly worried

[plucky heron]

i think you forget how bad gigas are with j 200 md

[bright canopy]

They’re not thatttt bad

[plucky heron]

They def aint great lmaoo

[bright canopy]

Ur not wrong lmao

[plucky heron]

no good bps for a while cause the drops on island arent good so you can enrage a giga with pump shottys prob lmao

[bright canopy]

Island underwater drops r cracked what u smokin

[ivory lagoon]

Ong

[plucky heron]

cap you gotta realize the whole server gonna be fighting over tames

so gigas will still be useful

[bright canopy]

I think rhinos will be good

[plucky heron]

rhinos will be nasty for pvp

[ivory lagoon]

Damn

[bright canopy]

Have they said anything ab if transfers are gonna be locked between maps when it’s just island?

[ivory lagoon]

I think with the release of SE it will open Island to island and island to SE

[plucky heron]

center will be fun

[bright canopy]

So we’re all stuck on our own island for awhile lol

No shot they’ll do open transfers to SE as soon as it drops tho

[ivory lagoon]

Ye but it’s like one of the last ones of being released

[plucky heron]

no it aint

center wil lcome out after scorched like the order they came out originally im pretty sure

[ivory lagoon]

Isn’t it a community map?

[bright canopy]

Imagine being stuck on just SE for 3 months lmao

[ivory lagoon]

I believed they said community maps come last

[plucky heron]

center was one of my favorite maps the underworld was sick

[sharp stream]

do I even need to feed baby crystal wyverns

and can you harvest primal crystals from tamed crystal wyverns

[bright canopy]

Bro mantis r gonna be so good with no leveling movement speed

[ivory lagoon]

Hope my tribe builds on an SE, never lived in there

[ivory lagoon]

And thery’s

[fluid brook]

depends on the rates of the server you're playing on , if it's high enough you wont need to feem them , also depends of the food stat points of the baby

[bright canopy]

Nothing like going to eat and coming back to 80% heatstroke with your screen looking like your character is 15 shots deep

[plucky heron]

imagine them in cave pvp lmaoooo jumping out the entrance on a mantis and knocking people

[sharp stream]

2.2k food

[bright canopy]

Mantis are super good on unofficial idk if y’all play it

[sharp stream]

lvl 36 because I couldnt find a higher one

[bright canopy]

Bc they’re sooo easy to tame early game and they one tap easily

[ivory lagoon]

Ye

[fluid brook]

prolly wont survive without food then

[bright canopy]

Yea they’re fun asf

[sharp stream]

can I just feed it regular crystal

[ivory lagoon]

No

[sharp stream]

oh

[bright canopy]

Idk what caves they fit in tbh

[sharp stream]

I fed it a primal crystal and it just drained immediately

[static fjord]

if its going to starve, pop it into a cryo and you can get primal crystal again later

[bright canopy]

Well I guess we don’t know bc they said they’re re working caves or whatever

[static fjord]

let it eat on its own.

[plucky heron]

ima be weighing 1k pounds

[ivory lagoon]

Everyone gonna be on tek suits cuz ground PvP gonna be somewhat boring

[bright canopy]

Uw theri pvp is wild

[sharp stream]

its draining .1 every few secs

maturing faster than it loses hunger

[plucky heron]

element aint gonna be that easy island sucks for element espeically if artifact caves are blocked on island and scorched

[bright canopy]

I can’t wait to get folded by MNK players

[ivory lagoon]

I mean not at release but later on though

[plucky heron]

I mean

[bright canopy]

Island ele is dogwater

[plucky heron]

if people block the artifacts it is LMAO

[sharp stream]

apparently you dont even need to feed them at first

[plucky heron]

SE is so easy for element

[bright canopy]

SE ele is cracked what r u smoking

[sharp stream]

just primal crystal for imprinting

[plucky heron]

3 artifacts and just giga munch the wyvern trench lol its so free

[bright canopy]

Center is pretty bad tbh Id rather island than center but SE is sooo good for ele imo

[ivory lagoon]

Ong

[bright canopy]

They give like no ele tho

[plucky heron]

Im praying they nerf Ele gains on Extinction onwards itll make the game interesting for tek pvp because then there will be way less ele

No gachas

abbs my favorite map

the mesh is so bad tho

even the surface caves were fun bases to build way back all the roof spots the radiation rat holes

so many good spots

especially before cryos holy unraidable

[silent matrix]

❤️

[hybrid horizon]

What is best Dino for the island under water caves me and my friend brought our barys he died right when we got to the artifact and I got it and attempted to get out and got half way through before dying. (We lost ALL of our stuff it was annoying)

[slate widget]

basilo is a good one but takes damage in the deep (negliable, just be fast)

[sharp stream]

I love how a 99.9% matured wyvern sounds adorable

[hybrid horizon]

I was thinking a tuso

But not sure

[sharp stream]

and as soon as it grows up it sounds like the spawn of hell

[slate widget]

tuso is harder to tame but can work too

[hybrid horizon]

They are both passive tames why would it be harder?

[slate widget]

99.9% matured wyvern's only drink milk. the 0.1% makes the difference 😂

[sharp stream]

and primal crystals

[slate widget]

tuso is one of those weird, sacrifice passive tames.

[granite warren]

Can 35k health 1000%melee megatheriums beat other bosses other than brood?

[slate widget]

yeah, for the crystal wyverns.

[hybrid horizon]

Oh like a carcha kinda I never tamed a tuso so I didn’t know

[sharp stream]

kind of like the rhyniognatha or something?

[slate widget]

nah, its you have it grab your tame (like a turtle) then feed it. repeat until tamed

[sharp stream]

and do compys have any purpose besides eating mutton

[hybrid horizon]

Oh, I was just going to use 50 black pearls and we are on around 10x tame speed so it would tame one try

[slate widget]

huh, there are a lot of different sacrifice passive tames

[slate widget]

if thats what dododex says then yeah just need a turtle with a bit of health to make it easiest.

[hybrid horizon]

Alright I was just going to tame an dolphin cause it’s a bit easier

Thanks for helping bye

[slate widget]

I've never used a dolphin to tame them lol

[static fjord]

bro i used a baryonyx 💀

[slate widget]

anything the tuso can grab will work

[lone crown]

I normally use dolphins to tame them tbh. Easy to scout and then just use it. By the time its ready to feed again, dolphin is ready for the next grab.

Mosa, plesi for mass taming on Rag

[static fjord]

something that can fight back would be recommended because the moment it grabs your dino, youve gotta survive the onslaught of whatever is near you on foot

[slate widget]

I've only tamed like 4 tusos total 😂 in 8 years of ark. they just aren't worth the trouble, especially after shadowmanes came out

[lone crown]

To clear hard underwater it can be done solo tuso but normally you want 2 people on tuso's to clear the hitbox your tuso cant get. Easy to get squirrelly fast.

[plucky heron]

anyone understand how they are changing the breeding mechanic for mutations

[lone crown]

Everything has a agro box for height in the water. Just swim up! haha

[plucky heron]

I didnt really understand it

[slate widget]

mutations in ASE are counted under wild levels. in ASA they will be their own thing.
because of this mutations can give different stat boosts then wild levels do
example, rex gets 220 health per wild level, in ASA the mutations can give a different amount

[static fjord]

not those damn eels

[plucky heron]

oh so each health mutations can be random

[slate widget]

no, it will still be set.

[plucky heron]

so it can be 12 health or 800 hp

[slate widget]

it just may be differnet.

[plucky heron]

oh you mean how higher melee damage wild dinos would mutate and gain more dmg now its gnna be different?

[slate widget]

so instead of 220 health per level, it would give 250 or something (remember mutations give 2 stat points)

[plucky heron]

ohhh the mutation amount will be a set amount for each dino?

like depending on the dino

[slate widget]

yeah, just like ASE is. tamed levels are just % based.

[plucky heron]

oh so its the same

[slate widget]

see this, in ASA there will be another category for Level increase.

wild, tamed, and mutation

[plucky heron]

oh and depending on the dino type itll mutate a certain percent

or certain amount

[slate widget]

or hard value, depending on what they decide they haven't said yeah.

[plucky heron]

ok that makes sense
