ark-survival-ascended

[stiff widget]

Idk if it's realistic but I wanna run on the higher end of graphics

Maybe not max but close

[hollow zealot]

they also dont have to give any specs since u no u cant even buy the game yet lol

but just simply look at other ue5 games as people have suggested and it will give a good idea of what ull probs need to run it

its not like UE5 is some machine killing engine were u need a 40 series card to run a game made on it

they also cant tell u if the game is gonna run just buy knowing ur graphics card as ur motherboard and ram and storage drives are also gonna determine how well the game runs/loads

[stiff widget]

I guess thats true

Oh

[lilac yacht]

Ima play on lowest settings anyway

[ionic mason]

Basically mate if you can run ASE half decent you should be able to run ASA pretty good because it’s optimised better and better coding etc

[lilac yacht]

Im actually so hyped for asa

Gimme gameplay footage pweaseee

[dusty cradle]

Do we know anything about the size of the host barrier for a non-dedicated server?

[stiff widget]

Idk how the PC I'ma build would run ase tho

[ionic mason]

My main concern is if they’ve got an fov slider for console lol

[ionic mason]

Look at the specs for ase then upgrade in your price range from there

[tough yarrow]

ASE specs on the Steam page have been outdated for a while, use a website or something with recommended specs instead ^

For now ig

[rustic yarrow]

RTX 4070 would be better for ASA cuz it have the frame generation feature which is supported on Ark

[stiff widget]

Oh

Okay

But like how much of a difference would that make?

[rustic yarrow]

There are tests on YouTube

It doubles your frames

[spare gyro]

Pretty sure you'll be fine with either of those tbf

[young solar]

yo guys who want playe with me on my server??

[spare gyro]

Until you run into someone's megabase. Fucked it then

But that's gonna happen to anyone with any system I think unless it's a super computer lmao

[dreamy linden]

Can the egg incubator still have the chance of popping out twins/trips?

[slate widget]

yes, don't think it tells you tho

[deft forge]

Frame generation is only for DLSS 3 and they never said this version of DLSS will be on Asa at launch. It could be DLSS 2 and also after launch

[dreamy linden]

even though it tells you the sex, and the twin/trip could be a different sex?

Will the egg[s] stay in the incubator forever up until the time you force them out?

[slate widget]

until you click the hatch button yeah. I wouldn't trust it tho

[dreamy linden]

yikes

just got my base rex 😄

[tough yarrow]

As long as they don't spoil

[weary copper]

4070 might be better

[pure elk]

when the ark 1.5 opened?

[sterile robin]

sometime soon

[haughty vigil]

Is there a no fall damage setting i cant get my loot because its a far drop

[silent matrix]

Do you guys think we’ll get halloween event for asa?

[slate widget]

No, first event is winter wonderland but officials will get extra life in November

[silent matrix]

Shitt i really wanted a zombie wyvern

[queen mantle]

oo would be nice seeing that again... will ASE get any more events?

[slate widget]

no, ASE ended events last year.

[queen mantle]

oh alright

[sterile robin]

N, they said the first event coming out will be winterwonder land

[silent matrix]

That sucks

[sterile robin]

A little, but we are getting asa for halloween

[haughty vigil]

I officially cant get all my loot

[silent matrix]

Maybe if the owner of snail games did not start a car company to shut it down right after and used some money on ark we would’ve gotten asa sooner

[sterile robin]

is it a bag or boyd you are trying to get?

[haughty vigil]

Body

[sterile robin]

use grapplehooks

[haughty vigil]

Dont have resources

Its stuck at the top of runheimer where the obelisk is

[sterile robin]

oh

[haughty vigil]

Im saved

I have extra chitin to make a pterdon saddle

[dreamy linden]

Is there nothing given back from cracking the eggs in the incubator?

[sterile robin]

hurray

[sterile robin]

if you crack them to soon you kill the baby. If cracked when ready baby dinos

[dreamy linden]

I mean, when you crack the egg (destroy), do you get anything back?

[sterile robin]

oh, no

[dreamy linden]

rip little birdie

I was hoping for some eggs

[rustic yarrow]

Oh maybe I misunderstood what they said

Q: DLSS, RTXDI, and FRAMEGEN.

We’re working very closely with Nvidia on all the things. They’re actually in our game code themselves, doing all the things. You can read more about these systems on their site -removed it cuz links not allowed-, but our goal is to launch with as much as we can or have it shortly after that.

I hope it’s DLSS 3 + FSR 3

[deft forge]

I didn't saw Framegen. My bad
But they totally can implement DLSS without framegen

[radiant ravine]

will my ps5 survive ark 2

[rustic yarrow]

Yup if you mean ASA

[radiant ravine]

ah okay thats great, with decent fps too i hope

[deft forge]

Don't hope for more than 60 I think

[rustic yarrow]

Maybe as same as ARK 1 or higher

[radiant ravine]

yea thats fine, i just hope i wont get those stutters anymore

[haughty vigil]

Any mounts/tames i should get in runheimer

[mental bolt]

Whens the release date of ass?

[knotty hatch]

Loo

Lol

[dusty cradle]

Yes

[mental bolt]

Asa i mean

I know its like ina month but idk when exactly

[umbral zephyr]

No one knows

[tardy coyote]

OCT 18 + 14 days = Nov 1 , steam Asa page still empty. Is that means wildcard jump the game again ？

[feral niche]

asa is being tested rn and its already on steam but its hidden to public

[tardy coyote]

thx anyway. I has never saw a game like that before.

[lethal inlet]

i just hope that when they said october , its not oct 31st. Might as well just say nov xD

[haughty vigil]

Any ?

[lethal inlet]

want to see the new bob/bobette customization heck yeah!!

[topaz mountain]

"hidden to public" is not the reason. That 2 weeks rule applies to every game that is released through Steam Direct. For a game as big as ASA, it's most likely not the case, so that rule doesn't apply. As long as the devs are saying it's on track, there's no reason to worry

[lethal inlet]

also better animations for3rd person

hated that from ASE

[hoary fern]

There’s gonna be new customization for that?

[lethal inlet]

i hope so

i want to make a asian bob

[sterile robin]

the game is already out in steam. Just the page is hidden. Also dollie said they do not have to worry about the 14 thingy

[cedar hamlet]

Just release the game am bored and have 5days off

[hoary fern]

If life is as funny as ever it will release in 6 days

[cedar hamlet]

yea😂

[wispy pond]

The new building system sounds hype

[worldly spire]

Any new insider news for ASA?

[obtuse phoenix]

I think that stuttering may have been server sided so hopefully after the game has been released for a bit and all the kinks are worked out servers should run fairly smoothly on the new code

[tough yarrow]

No. All news is in #announcements , #766826918803800074 , or the pinned messages in #general.

[safe arch]

I apologise as I see it's been asked several times but I can't see an answer as of yet.

Will Official Offline Raid Protection / ORP Servers exist with launch?

I'm pretty much sold already but this confirmation would convince a couple of my buddies.

[sterile robin]

atm no news on servers and stuff like that yet.

[safe arch]

I figured as much, but I'll probably lightly pester as I keep an eye out leading up to release.

I appreciate your response.

[sterile robin]

just watch for the cc this friday. Many expect the game to drop next week including me. SO we should hear alot

[honest ibex]

its only going to be dreadnought reveal they said it last week

[spare gyro]

Things change

[honest ibex]

naw not for wildcard

[sterile robin]

really, dollie on sunday this is the cc everyone should be hyped for

[spare gyro]

I mean whats the worse that could happen? They tease more screen shots and we have to wait one more week

[sterile robin]

this is true and I would be happy with more screenshots aswell.

[spare gyro]

Same I'm hyped to be diving back in

Don't think my electricity bill is ready for the 12hour baby marathons tho 🤣

[sterile robin]

A small price to pay for happiness

[spare gyro]

Like 7 or 8 quid thanks yo my pc 😭🤣

[sterile robin]

wait what. that how much it cost to run your pc for 12 hours

[spare gyro]

Well I have a 3090 and a i7 13700k if I'm hard-core gaming and other people are home

Not just my pc 🤣 but total

[sturdy wraith]

Yo anyone know if the Dino ragdoll upon death will be the same in ASA?

[sterile robin]

god I hope so

[spare gyro]

I dont see why not

[sterile robin]

oh okay I was going to say like dam. It maybe cost me 3usd a day

[spare gyro]

Lords of the fallen is made in UE5 and playing that I'd also building hype for me

It's expensive over here after the Eastern conflict and our lack or oil/gas supplies/production

[dense panther]

will asa be on geforce now?

[spare gyro]

🤷‍♂️

[sterile robin]

I do not believe out of the gate, but I may have seen someone say possibly. I cannot remeber if it was one of the devs or not.

[sterile robin]

ah godo to know that is made in eu5 and my pc can run it

[elfin escarp]

@stray frigate to continue here. Like i said i might have it mistake with something else, but i somehow remember that one of the devs made a comment on it in discord, but that was a like maybe 1 or 2 weeks ago.

[lilac willow]

is there anyone else that plays mouse and keyboard on console and cant shoot with any weapon when you aim or is it just me

[haughty vigil]

Wtf

I just contracted mega rabies

[stray frigate]

Also your last comment is spot on. For someone who has played thousands of hours on steam then go to windows you were left saying "wtf"

[glacial ermine]

i really hope we see a trailer during twitch con

[haughty vigil]

I survived the mega rabies

[stray frigate]

Well either way you've given me hope. All my friends who i nornally play with arent going to join in so I am left playing with xbox players (still some close friendsl) but I could not fathom clicking e on everything or not being able to press t for transfer, etc. Lol

[elfin escarp]

Exactly. It was also a super quiet version cause i had no battle music.

[stray frigate]

Yeah it was a huge waste of dl space, time & money for me haha.

[elfin escarp]

Yea, was a bit sad that steam has no crossplay at the start cause our tribe is 50:50 Pc and xbox.

[sterile robin]

just buy windows version

[elfin escarp]

That's what were talking about, but we hope that the windows version will be handled much better on ASA than on ASE. Cause ASE win10 is just pure cancer.

[spare gyro]

Leech in the swamp I belive

[languid perch]

personally i wouldnt take that risk

[wicked siren]

Good morning ya'll

[proper chasm]

what is the best pvp server for the island

[languid perch]

i need ark remake now

[sterile robin]

oh gotcha my bad.

[vernal garnet]

@glacial ermine I don't understand the reasoning for waiting on Twitch con -- if they are. Cons are dead. No one cares and attendance is way down. E3 is no more. Comiccon is a shell. And I've heard no one talk about vidcon or Twitch con.

[proper chasm]

what is the best pvp server for the island?

[fading nacelle]

primal fear

[haughty vigil]

I was in the chambering halls

[tough yarrow]

No need to spam it. Look in https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/1110925695900713072

[haughty vigil]

It was from onyxs or onycs, the bats

[pastel pecan]

I'm new to ark on PC and I got the Olympus map from the workshop bit its not showing up on the map selection screen is there another mod I need to show the map?

[stray frigate]

Yeah. I am currently planning on buy windows version at launch. But if it's not polished like steam - I will quickly (immidiately) lose interest lol. At that point I would probably just build up single player on the island and then transfer everything once a joined official server opens up.

Does anyone know if these "december crossplay server" will be fresh servers or will they just designate half to crossplay & keep half pure?

[keen pewter]

Read

[craggy steppe]

I don't know, what's wrong with my game (Switch). In Genesis Part 1 I still need an female X-Allo for a breeding pair, but all I found were males. I tamed them, then no Allo was ever seen again. I tried to refresh the spawn with the destroywilddinos command, but that made it, that spawns on the volcano map became even more scarce and Allos seem to have become extinct entirely. I used the command multple times and the only Allo and the only female I then found, was already dead. I think I'm gonna be insane...

[spark sedge]

so does the event parameter thing even work properly?

[thick lotus]

yea

[spark sedge]

I'm running with fear evolve active and while the recipes do show up in the cooking pot and halloween-colored animals do occasionally spawn... Those recipes show up with zero crafting requirements

[thick lotus]

maybe u can still craft them with the needed resources even if it doesnt show and it's just visual, check wiki for anything u want to see the resources needed

[spark sedge]

and the first night on the island i went to test just now started raining so I can't tell if the dodo moon is out lmao

[thick lotus]

ark moment xd

[spark sedge]

and now that the rain stopped there's a cloud directly over the moon for the sole purpose of annoying me

Okay yeah no that clinches it, that's a normal moon

[green belfry]

Imma have to get Asa on ps5

My pc would die running it but Atleast saves carry over accounts

[sterile robin]

I beleve running the events now. Just give the colors, but I could be wrong.

[spark sedge]

well shit either way just results in the same behavior

That's a bit of a bonerkiller, i was wanting to finally fight the dodorex

[ivory lagoon]

Community crunch is at what hour 🫣

On Friday

[earnest blade]

has ascended already started?

or when does it start?

[gray pawn]

im having so much fun in asa bro

[vale dust]

Release date isn't out yet

[earnest blade]

Ok! Ty

[gray pawn]

its implied at end of october

but yeah no hard date

[ivory lagoon]

4th week of October

[hearty goblet]

“Near” the end of October makes me think week 3 but 🤷‍♂️

[fickle kettle]

So do you guys think they'll reuse the scrapped animations of breeding dinos that were shown at a earlier date in ASA?

[hearty goblet]

Wordage is important

[fickle kettle]

see a rex throw it back

[gray pawn]

its just the devs saying we are gonna start playing the game primarily in november

[ivory lagoon]

They still working on the certifications I think. I don’t know how much time that takes but surely a week or more

[fickle kettle]

they said anywhere from 2-5 days for cert

[ivory lagoon]

Really?

[fickle kettle]

yeah so the earilest it could be done is like today

[haughty vigil]

I just robbed a beaver den and kidnapped a level 140 beaver

[hearty goblet]

I heard the final cert is the easiest as cert submissions have already been ongoing. But I’m not a dev and my knowledge is limited

[lyric saddle]

What are certifications? In this context

[fickle kettle]

making sure that asa doesnt brick your PS or Xbone

[haughty vigil]

Will asa be less gb then ase

[lyric saddle]

Or GPU 💀

[fickle kettle]

and that it can run at a optimal speed

well, its only cert for console

[lyric saddle]

O

[haughty vigil]

Why is this beaver taking forever to tame

[sterile robin]

at launch should be, but after that no one reall knows

[green belfry]

They take forever normally

[uneven pond]

Hey, my friend have ark on epic games and he sees no servers, do you guys know why?

[past sentinel]

Gotta switch to unofficial filter

[uneven pond]

he had, but no servers are showing up,

[night obsidian]

looking for a tribe, pve, casual, steam

[foggy scaffold]

A cert build means they have passed the game to quality assurance, usually if it's multiple platforms eg Xbox, PC, etc, it needs to pass the QA and be stable.

[languid perch]

i dont care if not stable i need asa now

[foggy scaffold]

Check all filters, he may have something like password only checked. If it continues, a reinstall sometimes works.

[foggy scaffold]

How soon we forget the complete sh*t show original launch was lol. To further illustrate, cyberpunk 2077, let em test!

[solemn horizon]

Any Fabricator tames? And don't say exomek. Why is this not a thing? Because it's tier 2?

[languid perch]

at this point im happy to just have a product in front of me buggy or not

[keen pewter]

Will there be small tribes on launch??

[languid perch]

wildcard is literally a wild card, however this sounds promising but i cant forget the bad track record they have

lack of teasers and gameplay and no concrete date is also very suspicious (atleast we got raptor pic confirming theres a real product)

i cant tell if its a genius marketing idea or just a coverup of the mess

[keen pewter]

Ark ASA will be launched at Christmas

[languid perch]

i dont think so

[foggy scaffold]

Lol understandable, but game development isn't a one shot perfect product these days and I would imagine after CD project red's fiery crash and burn, most studios probably don't want to jump too quickly haha

[languid perch]

they already said they are on track for late october release

[keen pewter]

Yea they’re going to say it was buggy in cert and want to give us a clean launch and push it to December, bet me

[languid perch]

true, atleast cd projekt fixed their product

[languid perch]

if that was the case they wouldnt have closed official servers so early

[keen pewter]

Wildcard has never fucked up before?

[languid perch]

im not saying that but everything seems okay for now

plus theres the contract thing but i dont know about it

[keen pewter]

You are an optimistic friend

[limpid pewter]

Issue is they don’t want to do that or they’ll have to cough up some cash to Nitrado

[foggy scaffold]

It's generally accepted that you should always expect the worst but quietly hope for the best.

[languid perch]

for free mind you

[keen pewter]

It’s not going to effect their profit, still going to have the same sales

[compact dome]

ASE trailer is out!!!!!

[amber cedar]

Oh hey, found a mini-cave in the middle of the ocean! The one with the titanodroma dossier

[languid perch]

very funny

[keen pewter]

That came out 8 years ago

[limpid pewter]

Has been for years bud

[compact dome]

Yes

Just reminding everyone

[keen pewter]

Have they confirmed small tribes at launch??

[scenic cipher]

careful, people might think you inadvertently mean ASA, and you wouldn't want that would you???

[past sentinel]

This is where I can't tell if people are just blatantly bias or not considering there a couple people I keep seeing talk about a so called "track record" when not even sure they have enough released games to have a proper track record.

I looked up their published games and my thought was justified. Ark and Atlas are there only two released games from what I can find and both being on different spectrums to the point I saw Atlas in the coming soon but it never appealed enough to me to even look at on the store so I actually didn't know WC made it until I saw someone mention it in this discord.

Ark on the other hand has been for all intents and purposes pretty successful for a company with only two released games to support that title for 8 years.

[scenic cipher]

./s

[languid perch]

no info yet lol

[foggy scaffold]

@languid perch agreed and dually noted, then again when Jer announced the "free" upgrade it took me less than a second to look at my wife and loudly say, "that won't happen, how are they gonna pay their team?!"

[scenic cipher]

I think the track record they're referring to is missing target release dates solely during Ark's development

[keen pewter]

Bro have you ever played it, it got good less than a year ago

[scenic cipher]

it's not over multiple games, but over multiple updates for a singular game

[coarse plaza]

A game that releases in less than 2 weeks with literally nothing to its name besides concept art and solitary 3D models is totally normal and not concerning at all.

[foggy scaffold]

Cyberpunk is amazing now, haven't gotten phantom liberty yet yho

[keen pewter]

Every update would break something and you lose days to a rollback

[past sentinel]

Well I just said it never appealed to me, so I never looked at it store page. That why I didn't comment on it success or failure only Ark's.

[keen pewter]

I know I meant ark

[solemn horizon]

I wonder if they had several photos they took and decided on the raptor photo we got to see? 🧐

[keen pewter]

The raptor photo is a troll referring to no movement speed

[languid perch]

you have a point honestly

[vagrant hare]

Hello, I would like some information, I play on Switchh and I created a non-dedicated server but my friend who is also on Switch can't find it, how can I do it? must be nearby (Local) thank you for your answers

[past sentinel]

It was successful before then, games don't bombshell for 5 years and just manifest final 2-3, bro.

[keen pewter]

Have you ever played pvp? There was pc players on Xbox official like 6 months ago using aim bot and god mode

[barren quail]

[languid perch]

i heard that the pic was from ingame trailer and its not even the best pic

[vagrant hare]

Hello, I would like some information, I play on Switchh and I created a non-dedicated server but my friend who is also on Switch can't find it, how can I do it? must be nearby (Local) thank you for your answers

[vernal garnet]

CP 2077's big failure was backers insisting it work on PS4 and XBOX ONE. When they finally admitted it just wasn't going to work, the game got better over night because the handcuffs were off.

[past sentinel]

No, I enjoy the much more plesant interaction of PvE in games like Ark where there is still a PvP potential with the tribe war mechanic.

You forget there more than just PvP.

[vagrant hare]

Hello, I would like some information, I play on Switchh and I created a non-dedicated server but my friend who is also on Switch can't find it, how can I do it? must be nearby (Local) thank you for your answers

[keen pewter]

I didn’t forget you just wouldn’t understand the bugs if you haven’t experienced pvp

[solemn horizon]

@languid perch would be cool if next crunch had the runner up photos to drool on 🤤

[vagrant hare]

Hello, I would like some information, I play on Switchh and I created a non-dedicated server but my friend who is also on Switch can't find it, how can I do it? must be nearby (Local) thank you for your answers

[mossy plaza]

Jat said for the raptor pic: “yeah the only thing that was done in post was the logo + the text, and as for what we did in photo mode, zoom + depth of field i imagine, cause it wasn't even a shot from our trailer, but just a rando test recording”

[amber cedar]

Those graphics look like they'd blow up my PC

[solemn horizon]

Is everything suppose to be the same scale as ase? Like players to the environment?

[foggy scaffold]

Lol you would be surprised what a good texture artist with the right tools can do with low poly assets

[mossy plaza]

The lighting maybe? I heard ray tracing kills

[solemn horizon]

That would be a dope mod! Mini player/dino mod(honey i shrunk the kids)

[mossy plaza]

Im too broke to ever attempt to find out 😆

[amber cedar]

Oh shit, found a level 20 tuso
What do?

I don't even have a full stack of black pearls, just about 27

Hmm, maybe I can kill it for its collection of pearls and use those to feed a different tuso

[celest rampart]

I dont think unofficials are getting wiped. I think the wipe already happened and it was official

[gleaming wyvern]

I agree all unofficials are personally owned so wildcard shouldn’t have a say in wiping them

Ohhhh lmao

[craggy mortar]

On the pic it says in game photo mode

[lost lion]

Anyone wanna play som ark?

[gleaming wyvern]

The devs said it was a 4/10 compared to the others they took

[celest rampart]

idk why unofficial servers would get wiped, wildcard cant control that

correct

[gentle anvil]

Could unofficial servers switch from ASE to ASA that fast? With saved content?

[solemn horizon]

@gleaming wyvern where did you hear/read this?

[mossy plaza]

Jat said it iirc

[gentle anvil]

I was into PVP duos/three man and would want to play that asap vs official

[craggy mortar]

I am into the official hardcore servers

[gleaming wyvern]

It’s from personal experience with the isle, they tried to shut my server down when I explained I owned the server personally and they had no access they agreed and backed off

[solemn horizon]

I was asking about this

[bleak shuttle]

Quick question, which maps give access to wyverns? My search engine is pretty vague

[gentle anvil]

Won’t have em until scorched

[celest rampart]

Scorched earth, ragnarok, crystla isles, valguero, fjordur?

[tough yarrow]

Scorched, Ragnarok, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Lost Island, Genesis 2, Fjordur.

[celest rampart]

gen 2 has wyverns?

[gentle anvil]

Voidwyrms

[celest rampart]

oh right

[mossy plaza]

Jat about the raptor pic: “…but honestly it was just a random frame grab lol - we got better stuff”

[bleak shuttle]

Oh sick! Whatever I found only listed two maps, thought that was off. Thanks. : )

[solemn horizon]

@mossy plaza thank you

[tough yarrow]

Be sure to use https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki for stuff too

[celest rampart]

sounds like your list was outdated (guessing se/rag)

[keen pewter]

I ask for game breaking exploits and servers being down for days and delayed content and patches by playing pvp servers ?

[bleak shuttle]

Didn't know that existed either, thanks

[tough yarrow]

No, you don't. Can probably safely move on from it instead of arguing too.

[bleak shuttle]

I'm trying to come back to the game after not playing for a couple years, and when I did play before it was on mobile lol

[keen pewter]

They started focusing on bugs and qol in the final year of official and the game was great I’m glad they’re doing ASA just not confident in release date because there isn’t one and they’ve missed many dates in the past

@tough yarrow do you know if small tribes is confirmed for launch??

[tough yarrow]

I believe Dollie soft confirmed it a few eeks ago in #general chat, but I would wait until that information is officially shared in #announcements

[keen pewter]

Tysm

[haughty vigil]

What ammo do pistols use

[solemn horizon]

Will there be beginners servers at launch?

[tough yarrow]

Simple bullets iirc

[tough yarrow]

@solemn horizon

[solemn horizon]

Thank you

[gleaming wyvern]

Honestly no point everyone is going to be starting fresh

And all of the megas are organized and ready for release

I just hope there are enough servers to hold the quantities of players that will be jointing right up, I know ase took up like 250-300 gb for me and takes 35 minutes to download

[haughty vigil]

Ty

[solemn horizon]

Has stacks been addressed at all? Like will Asa stacks be the same to Ase?

[tough yarrow]

Most ammo is right next to the weapon in your engrams page

Ah thanks

Do fabricators need electric?

[barren patrol]

gas

[haughty vigil]

Where do i get gas

[molten hamlet]

I just hope they didn't bugger the key binding and that the UI changes are not so drastic that it causes confusion and complications...

[barren patrol]

oil + hide in a forge

6 oil + 5 hide + 5 gas

[haughty vigil]

Ah ty

[barren patrol]

= 5 gas, sry

[slate widget]

Lol, you need gas to make gas

[solemn horizon]

@unique topaz thanks but it didn't cover stacks. I'd assume that means no stack changes

[slate widget]

chances are they won't change but we'll see when ASA releases

[amber cedar]

Is it at all recommended to tame dunkles?
I feel like they may attack my squad with how long it'll take to tranq one of those

[molten hamlet]

So what do you guys think the chances are that the explorer note runs will be nerfed?

[unique fjord]

no one cares.

[molten hamlet]

and why is that?

[solemn horizon]

What buff could be added to sabortooth to make it more deadly?

[barren patrol]

not sure a sabertooth is meant to really be deadly....they're good hide harvesters though

[molten hamlet]

I mean I am good either way. I know enough of them to get max level in less than an hour and can be ready for boss fights shortly thereafter, however, think it would be much more immersive if they did actually nerf the xp on notes

[barren patrol]

gonna be a race to see who gets the first overseer kill, lol

[solemn horizon]

What's the most xp engram on your survivor?

[slow anvil]

lol

[amber cedar]

On the wiki it says that a level 60 dunkle takes about 34 tranquilizer crossbow shots to knock one out. However, I am aware that it says dunkles take reduced damage (including torpor damage). Does that mean that a level 60 dunkle will take way more than 34 tranquilizer crossbow shots to knock out?
Also, can flippers save me from its pursuit?

[tough yarrow]

https://www.dododex.com/ is a bit better for taming

[amber cedar]

Ahh, thank you very much

[arctic oyster]

Do we know if console server players can transfer to fully crossplay servers on ASA?

[marsh river]

bro do u know will offline raid protections servers be in ASA?

[tough yarrow]

We don't know, we'll need to wait for official info in #announcements

[amber cedar]

Holy shit it'll take about 121 crossbow shots to knock one out
Or about 86 if I am to believe that a crossbow with about 184.6% is about the same rate as tranq darts from a primitive roughneck rifle

[jaunty kestrel]

Yall, all the stuff we do know rn is on the public forums or probably on twitter, you can easily find it yourselves

[solemn horizon]

We need a poll page to see what communities guesses are!

[sick wave]

@slate widget have you gotten to play ASA?

Or @tough yarrow

[tough yarrow]

No. We are volunteers only for the discord, not Wildcard employees.

[sick wave]

Oh I see. Lame

Just wondering how viable the movement speed is actually going to be. /:

[amber cedar]

Shit, got ambushed by electric eels when I triend tranquing a dunkle

[stiff summit]

Classic

[still meadow]

Lmao

[haughty vigil]

What gun should i make, longneck rifle or a shotgun

[tough yarrow]

Depends on what you need it for

[haughty vigil]

Uh taming

[barren patrol]

taming? go longneck for the tranq darts

[haughty vigil]

Thanks

[regal wraith]

.

[simple edge]

I knock out gigas with my fists

[barren patrol]

k

[compact dome]

So gigas will be the most Op Dino when ASA launches?

[haughty vigil]

Whats a giga

Should i try and tame one

[amber cedar]

Shame the giga got nerfed so many times that a tamed one can't even take on a lower level wild one

[barren patrol]

agreed

[ruby raven]

What abt Giga TLC???

[amber cedar]

Dafuq is a Giga RLC

[haughty vigil]

What do i do with rune stones

[barren patrol]

boss fights i believe

[fickle kettle]

rhynio will be most op

flying fortress that can pick rexes

[haughty vigil]

Rhynio is a flying dino?

[barren patrol]

big flying insect.....

[haughty vigil]

Jesus christ

[ruby raven]

Youtube can find it 😏

[haughty vigil]

Why is ammo so expensive?!

[barren patrol]

to make the struggles real

[ruby raven]

If youre new. Yes very expensive

[haughty vigil]

Where can i find silicia pearls in fjordur

Apperantly theres some in the beaver waterfall area but idk what im looking for

[amber cedar]

I expected the megalodons to be bigger
Or for the dire bears to be bigger than the standard bear (unless that's not what "dire" means)

[barren patrol]

just keep burning tons of wood, and crafting tons of spark powder, all while cooking metal in a few forges

[haughty vigil]

The only hard part is the fact 12 gunpowder is only 2 rifle bullets

[barren patrol]

yup

just keep at it...before long you'll have a lot. Get an Anky for flint and a doedicurus for stone

the anky will also improve your metal gathering

[haughty vigil]

Already have both of those infact

[barren patrol]

perfect

[haughty vigil]

I have a doedi, anky, beaver and parasaur

Para is just for narcoberries

[barren patrol]

with the first 3 there, you shouldn't have much issue with your gathering for the gunpowder

and charcoal

[haughty vigil]

Char isnt an issue

103 polymer, and i have no clue what to do with it

[barren patrol]

save iy

it*

[haughty vigil]

Should i get a wind turbine

I have 74 electronics from a tek i killed

[barren patrol]

I think on fjordur, your source of power is your choice. You won't need gas with the wind turbine, but if it's placed in an area with little wind, it's useless

I personally just use the generator

[haughty vigil]

Im currently on top of a mountain on the castle

That should have lots of wind right?

[barren patrol]

Personally I'd use a generator. Takes less space

[amber cedar]

Thought I'd be taming a dunkle in preparation of mass oil gathering
Turns out I've instead been taming a small herd of shorks that kept getting in the way, one with a base level of 135 that I inadvertently shot after falling unconscious

[tough thistle]

Ark 1 is so glitchy. And I can't play the game ling enough for it start feezing.

Idk it's been like thjs

[haughty vigil]

It only freezes for 5 seconds, and thats like the beginning of the game

Play a lil more and it stops freezing

[tough thistle]

Not for me, it constantly does it and won't go away

[barren patrol]

I only have issues when playing on my laptop, just not all the time

[tough thistle]

Even when I play for a bit

It hasn't done this si ce they shut down the servers

[haughty vigil]

500% dmg pump shotgun

[barren patrol]

nice

[haughty vigil]

But good lord that thing is expensive,,,

4.5k polymer, 2.5k metal ingot, and 3.7k cementing paste

[barren patrol]

blueprints generally are more expensive

[tough thistle]

And I'm not playing multi, I playing solo and every time I'm flying in the air with my teridon it freezes for a short moment

[haughty vigil]

Specifically because its ascendant

[barren patrol]

yup

[haughty vigil]

I have drip

Ascendant chitin boots with 467.7 armor🔥

[past sentinel]

Metal pretty cheap, the CP probably what will take you the longest. If you can go to crystal isle there a honey cave there in the redwoods you can get a ton of organic poly

[haughty vigil]

Why would i need organic poly?

[barren patrol]

it's a substitue for regular poly

[past sentinel]

organic poly works for anything that needs hard poly

[haughty vigil]

Really?!

[past sentinel]

Yes

[haughty vigil]

Im gonna murder a shit load of penguins today then

[barren patrol]

organic poly weighs more (i believe) but also only stacks to 20/stack

[haughty vigil]

I have a bird for that

[past sentinel]

Oh yeah I keep forgetting I'm used to stack mods in unofficial 😂

[amber cedar]

CP probably what will take you the longest
Unless you got a few tamed snels

[barren patrol]

lol

i also think that there's no organic poly weight reduction

[haughty vigil]

What armor shoukd i get after flak?

[barren patrol]

riot maybe

[haughty vigil]

There isnt but if i bring another argy with me i can use thwt for storage

[barren patrol]

or jump to tek

[haughty vigil]

I ain doing tek

[past sentinel]

Flak usually the main armor used cause it most useful in comparison to repair cost.

Riot gear good but it expensive to repair

[haughty vigil]

I could get riot but idk where to find silicia pearls

[barren patrol]

trilobites, there's also a shallow lake not far from one of the castles with pearls

[haughty vigil]

Uh

Whats a "pegomastax"

[barren patrol]

the bane of all things ark

[tough thistle]

I want a wyvern but there's so many around the area I need to gwt one

[haughty vigil]

Its in my taming progress for some reason

[past sentinel]

A basterd that like to take stuff out of your last hotbar spot 😂

[barren patrol]

it jumped at you and stole berries, thus starting the taming process

[haughty vigil]

Loser

Mfs been unconscious since day 2 then 😂

[stiff summit]

It's a passive tame

[haughty vigil]

Its taming bar hasnt increased

[barren patrol]

pegos, microraptors, trodons, purlovias = no...just....no

[stiff summit]

He hasn't stolen berries from you in a while then

[haughty vigil]

Plus its like 1 island away from me

Last time i visited that place was earlier, but i returned back and didnt go on land

[tough thistle]

I need cementing paste but on ragnarok ther a only the giant beaver huts amd no dams

[sudden totem]

How many servers y’all think there would be +/- 50??

[tough thistle]

And crafting takes a bit

[haughty vigil]

The pego is starving

[tough thistle]

What dino besides the anky harvests just stone?

[haughty vigil]

Deod i think

[barren patrol]

let it starve....it's already taking up too much oxygen, even an island away

doedicurus is best for stone

[tough thistle]

Are they on ragnarok?

[barren patrol]

doeds? yup

[past sentinel]

That probably more humane than I treated them, if one tamed from taking item out of my last hotbar spot I picked one up with a flyer and dropped it in the ocean when I found some sharks lol

[stiff summit]

Bit extra

[haughty vigil]

Wtf is that a kangaroo

[barren patrol]

sacrifice to the volcano!

probably

procoptodon = roo

[past sentinel]

Another good idea, I'll keep that in mind for ASA. Itchyornis better be glad it a bird it would have a similar fate if I could lol

[barren patrol]

lol right?

[fickle osprey]

I hate ichtyornis

Wanted to go taming and that mf stole all my narcotics

Ate*

And i can remember they stole me a tame cryopod once

[barren patrol]

and how tf can a damn seagul steal and eat your narcotics (or berries) and not get ko'd?!

[fickle osprey]

How can they eat a sword or a giant structure?

[barren patrol]

that too

[fickle osprey]

Or organic polymer💀

[past sentinel]

One of my tribe mates while we were on official PvE we passed a base that had a line of gigas one apparently they forgot to take off breeding and he picked up a fert egg. That bird took it right before we got into our base lol

[haughty vigil]

Whats element dust

[amber cedar]

Eyyy, finally found a basilosaurus!
Even though it's only level 10

[barren patrol]

oof

[amber cedar]

Tame or kill?

[fickle osprey]

They are immortal

[barren patrol]

1000 dust = 1 element

or is it 100 : 1 ?

[elfin escarp]

Hey, anyone interested in testing my selfmade dino stat calculator? made one in google sheets which is should be even useable on phone. It's not as super detailed as smart breeding, but works to calculate post tamed stats. Just need an outside perspective if it's all understandable.

[amber cedar]

Okay, then tame it is

[haughty vigil]

Oh i have elements

[fickle osprey]

Ark can create so many crying moments

[haughty vigil]

Idk what to do with them

[winged hamlet]

it's 1000:1 for full element, 100:1 for shards

[amber cedar]

Ah fuck, nevermind, my backup scuba tank's about to run out

[haughty vigil]

What do i do with the shards?

[fickle osprey]

10:1 for shards

[barren patrol]

keep them for when you're in the tek tier

[haughty vigil]

I mean i know a cave where theres tons of it

[past sentinel]

You can use them to power a tek generator when you get that unlocked and don't have to have wires running throughout your base

[fickle osprey]

Rate 1 to 10 how unlucky is losing like 10 op dino lines and incredible stuff after 2 days early game solo raiding a dumb built tek/ heavie base due to a bug, killing a 400k hp stego with capped saddle

It was official server

I was so happy for 2 minutes....

[barren patrol]

lol

[stiff summit]

Sucks to suck

[fickle osprey]

Lvl 450 tames and tek stuff, bps

Every good and light stuff i put into the stego...

[stiff summit]

Why would you take bps into a raid

[fickle osprey]

I got them from the raid

[barren patrol]

you're not wrong. Dear friend of mine gifted me a shadowmane some time ago. I took it everywhere I went. Grew attached to it. One day I was online, and it just died infront of me. Nothing attacked it. It wasn't starving or anything. Just...dead. I logged of for the rest of the day.

[fickle osprey]

And it was so much i stored it in the stego i got. Because 500k hp or more should be safe

[worldly light]

can someone help me with a question i have?

i put 2 sinomacrops/maewings into my oblisk and i am trying to transfer them into a rag server (both servers are dedicated) but i cant get them to show up on rag

is it bcs they dont naturally spawn on rag or am i missing something

[fickle osprey]

I had nothing but my hidden base on abe and a mana a dumb guy had in a cryopod infront of a trsnsmitter..

[stiff summit]

Are you using the same character that uploaded the sinos and maewing?

[worldly light]

im dumb just realized thoguht it was like an account thing

[tender oasis]

Upload is cross caracter

[barren patrol]

oof

[worldly light]

or not

[tender oasis]

Are the two servers in the same cluster

[worldly light]

i uploaded them into a lost island dedicated and then opened my rag to put them on there

im not sure

[tender oasis]

Can you transfer ur caracters between the maps

[worldly light]

didnt try that just thought that the animals would transfer

my friend who owns the lost island map just left so i cant get it to reopen to try

[tender oasis]

Look it up on yt how to make sure that ur servers are in the same cluster

[barren patrol]

I find when things don't appear in the terminal after a transfer, i just put something (like a bit of fiber) into the terminal, and poof...everything appears that should be there

[haughty vigil]

Whats the best tame for storage? Excluding gasbags

[worldly light]

i also had saddles in the items part and they arent showing either

in the ark data part

[tender oasis]

Argy

[amber cedar]

Ah goddammit, this level 10 basilosaur is surrounded by a school of mantas

[stiff summit]

They almost always are lol

[haughty vigil]

Your still trynna tame it?

[amber cedar]

I mean, a low level basil is still better than no basil
At least, that's what I think

Plus I was told they're immortal, so it's probably not worth killing anyway, so might as well tame

[tender oasis]

The two sercers arent linked i belive google how or if u can put dedi servers into the same cluster

[worldly light]

alr

[fickle kettle]

killing a basilio gives you shet tons of oil

[tender oasis]

If u tame them they produce it for u

[barren patrol]

if the servers aren't linked you might want to go back and pull your stuff out of the terminal. thngs go poof after like 24hrs i believe

[fickle kettle]

yeahbut its like, instant 1k oil vs 10 oil a hour

[wanton panther]

so like when do we get a trailer cause they got 2 weeks to drop the and the trailer

[barren patrol]

a lot of ppl think we may see something this weekend

[fickle kettle]

yes

[amber cedar]

Shit I just learned that a basilosaurus doesn't tame by trying to tranq it

[fickle kettle]

at twitch con

[tender oasis]

Another community crunch or foto from midjurney

[amber cedar]

At least it didn't die when I got close enough

[left cypress]

will asa have a fov scale for console?

[fickle kettle]

no idea

info tbr

[amber cedar]

Yay, basil tamed
Now I aren't afraid of the scary jellyfish or the annoying eels
Now all I need is a few dunkles (and maybe a few backup basils) and my ocean team will be assembled
Then I can focus on getting my hands on the black pearls I need for a tuso

[tender oasis]

What rates are you playing on

And what map

[amber cedar]

I'm playing on the island, and I'm playing on single player settings (on account of playing this game single player)
I currently have 24 black pearls

[sterile crow]

Question, will ASA ever get compatibility with FSR upscaling?

[tender oasis]

You need like 100 for lvl 60, 150 for lvl 140 and 200 for 150

[tender oasis]

But get some spare turtles low lvl like 5-6 so u have room for error

[modest matrix]

Hi can anybody tell me if there is a exact reales time for the Community Crunches? And if it is what it is.

[amber cedar]

Dunkel KO'd
Now to tame it and get the ultimate in underwater cargo and oil gathering

[gleaming sierra]

can someone help me with the generator, i think im doing it wrong

[modest matrix]

Sure what’s your problem?

[gleaming sierra]

i just wanna know what im doing wrong

want me to send u screenshots

[modest matrix]

Sure send it privat if you want

[gleaming sierra]

alr

[radiant ravine]

Any good pvp tribes looking for members on ascended launch? I have over 8k hours. (PC) PM

[spare widget]

What do you think about adding NPCs and towns to the game? Like the settlements mentioned in the notes created by other survivors such as Helena, Nerva, Mei-Yin, Santiago...

[fallow sand]

What gpu yall think I need to play ASA 1440p

[zenith schooner]

4090

[jaunty patrol]

prolly like a 2000 series minimum

RTX 2060 etc

[haughty vigil]

Why cant i find silicia pearls??

[jaunty patrol]

you're probably not looking in the right place

[haughty vigil]

I am

[fallow sand]

I just hope my Radeon RX 6750 xt can run at lest 1440p medium 60fps ASA

[jaunty patrol]

u should be fine

but it always depends on the optimization of the game

[plain salmon]

I tried to install some mods on steam from the workshop but when I open the game I can't find them

[fallow sand]

You probably have to let them download in ark ( I would open ark wait 5 mins then see if some of them show up)

[plain salmon]

Thank you

[fallow sand]

Np let know if it works or not

[plain salmon]

Sure

[amber cedar]

At least 4200 silica pearls added
Looks like my only path left is taming tusos for truly dominating the sea and to fight other tusos, and also taming enough therizes, rexes, and yutys/carnos for bossing

[modest matrix]

In case you don’t know it. Megathiriums are insane for brood mother.

[amber cedar]

Ahh, the beer sloths!
I shall keep an eye out for high level megathiriums as well, then

[silent matrix]

Anyone know why the metal mountain nearby me isn't responding metal?

[visual kraken]

Is 1800 melee good for a bronto

[icy dagger]

Hot take: Ark is Ass

[silent matrix]

Idk I always just go weight mines at 7k lol

[jaunty kestrel]

Is it a hot take if pretty much everyone agrees?

[visual kraken]

Mine has 17k weight

[icy dagger]

Damn bro

[visual kraken]

And 1.9m hp

[amber cedar]

Found an underwater cave with yellow glowing plants
Should I be concerned about this cave?

[jaunty kestrel]

no you'll be fine, some radiation wont hurt you...

[amber cedar]

Will my level 18 basil be enough to take on the jellyfish there?

[jaunty kestrel]

Nothing can beat the power of friendship, totally go for it

[amber cedar]

...I get the feeling the jellyfish in the cave will overpower my low level basil
And even if they don't, there's probably something else in the cave that will kill us both

[unreal umbra]

caves with dinos in them like jellys, are "caves" and as such will have high level dinos. Alpha Mosas, Alpha megladons, etc. Single few jellys youll probably win without to much harm but the adds in a cave will wreck your level 15, almost certainly.

Which cave you in? coords

[amber cedar]

Oh, uhhh, I didn't bring my GPS
I never bother with it because of my minimap

I think x9 and y54-55

Screw it, imma go back to hunting for black pearls

[unreal umbra]

Not aware of that location for cave on island map. So probably not a “cave” with drops or artifacts so no crazy levels like 250+ Dino’s Still alphas can be anywhere basilos perfect for exploring. Just surface when mosa or tuso alphas come at you as they won’t go surface area of water. So only real threat are megladon packs with their pack bonus.

[amber cedar]

Ah, I already have my own megalodon pack of 7

[unreal umbra]

The water caves for drops/artifacts will eat a lvl 15 basilo even a 150 tame if not leveled up can get all it wants or more. Once you have bred and I printed ones you can do them

[icy dagger]

Ark is hot ass change my mind

[unreal umbra]

There are two water caves that will eat a pack. East cave and the one in snow zone. Those artifacts are a real challenge without top dinos

[lime path]

I have a 2060, at max settings, i played official with like 80-100 fps

[amber cedar]

Well goddamn, what about a pack of Basils?

[lime path]

ASA will likely have better optimizations but UE5 will obv be more demanding so I expect similar quality in ASA. This is 1080p. 1440p will likely be borderline 60 at all max settings

[unreal umbra]

Well a single boss level one can do them but short of that those are challenging there is literally everything water in them and all 150-300 level including alphas. So a pack of tames would just get eaten. A pack of good bred ones probably succeed with a couple deaths in pack depending on how well you manage the whistles

[amber cedar]

Well goddamn
Looks like imma need a pack of tusos for these

[queen mantle]

online server?

[plain salmon]

I tried uninstalling all the mods and installing only two, it stays stuck and tells me it installs 5

[haughty vigil]

singleplayer

[queen mantle]

hmm

where you searching? or maybe try a different spot

[plain salmon]

Guys i have a problem with the mods, somebody can help me?

[haughty vigil]

Im searching the places where it says on the wiki

[amber cedar]

Gots myself 7 megalodons (one of which is currently level +200 and has 7k hp), one basil, one angler, and one dunkle
Am I ready for taming a (low level) tuso yet?

[wind trout]

You can tame a tuso with a turtle. Just level its health.

[amber cedar]

Alright, turtle it is, thank you

I can only assume it must be something that can survive the three minute strangulation period even if one stack of black pearls can be enough to tame a tuso

[warm tree]

Okay it was my mistake there will be a big suprise for us

[amber cedar]

Weird. The updated wiki tells me that eurypterid corpses yield more black pearls with a metal pickaxe than with a metal hatchet, but what I'm seeing is the opposite: around 1 pearl from the pickaxe but 5 from the hatchet

[sharp stream]

can dung beetles be fed meat?

or only feces

[amber cedar]

Aww man, my pack killed two plesiosaurs, and one of them was level 80
I didn't even know I was in plesiosaur turf

[lofty tendon]

Will the caves still act like another map in ASA? Dragging the other players to the host when they enter the cave? For non-dedicated servers (in the solo section)

[winged summit]

what feature in asa is everyone most hyped for? (better water physics, dynamic foliage, wild baby dinos, better optimization, better graphics, etc) for me personally it's gonna be the hopefully better optimization that will come to the game :D

[delicate skiff]

Just bob things

[stiff widget]

Will the camera height in asa be affected by player height? Cause I'm that at least in mobile it's not so when a 4 foot tall gremlin looked at a 7 foot beast they where the same eye level

[plucky heron]

honestly just the fact dino stats won’t be crazy anymore and that cryos aren’t gonna be out to start lol

[mossy plaza]

My breeding lines are gonna be so delayed, I refuse to use the vanilla dinos to mutation stack >.>

[sharp stream]

featherlight or glowtail

and does crystal isles have any other abberation creatures

like bulb dogs

[humble nexus]

Yo does anyone have a current plan on their tribe for asa? I got no ark friends and wanna join a tribe from the start

[vagrant walrus]

Yes, I'm starting a game with my tribe friends from ase, we've done literally everything we could do in the game including max character level, all Genesis1/2 Alpha missions etc. I hope we can repeat this in asa

[humble nexus]

Nice bro, if cross platform comes out day one, do u reckon I could join ur tribe?

[vagrant walrus]

It all depends on the structure of the tribe, I assume we will play with the old group, although I do not exclude new players,
Btw. (Only official we Play)

[amber cedar]

36 black pearls. Only 14 more to go and then I can finally tame a tuso

[humble nexus]

U new to the game? If so, I can give u some tips

[floral sierra]

yikes

[amber cedar]

I'm still sorta new to the game, sure
I know a tusoteuthis needs to be strangling its meal before it can be tamed with a stack of food (ideally black pearls)
And that it must be fed at 3 minute intervals if it's high level enough to need multiple feedings

And that a high level turtle is least likely to die from the strangulation

[humble nexus]

Nice, do u have a strong sea creature?

[dry jungle]

cool raptor image. Gameplay? Store page?

also, where tf is my delay?!?

[humble nexus]

No delays coming 😎

[dry jungle]

Incorrect

[humble nexus]

So gassed for asa

How’d yk?

[dry jungle]

because Wildcard is known for delays, so why would this time be any different

no gameplay and the game is supposed to release in <12 days, quite worrying

[humble nexus]

I trust in them this time, alr been delayed from august and they’d suffer financially if they don’t release it by the end of the month

[dry jungle]

whats "huh" about it

[dry jungle]

apparently they dont care lmao, cause ark 2 had like 4 previous release dates

[humble nexus]

They have some legal contract that if it isn’t released by the end of the month, they don’t get all the money from sales

[dry jungle]

i dont trust in them at all honestly

its my most played game on steam but still

[dry jungle]

i bet u they still wont release it

[humble nexus]

This is the one time I have faith in them and they know they can’t screw up

[tough yarrow]

Can probably take that to #general, and leave this channel for the ingame stuff. People in general chat are talking about releases anyway.

[dry jungle]

nah they can screw up, and every single person in here, 200k will still get the game 100%

[humble nexus]

Ok bet

[dry jungle]

it's literally related to the game but okay

[tough yarrow]

Tyty

[tribal wigeon]

Curious what the recommended system specs will be for Ark SA? Or if this installment will perform better than SE

[tough yarrow]

No one knows yet

[sharp stream]

good thing I live close to a desert so I can get cactus sap and silk whenever I want 🙂

[humble nexus]

I think with ue5 it might be around 100GB

[amber cedar]

I have a level 200+ megalodon (and a few more that are nowhere near that level for a +6 bonus), a level 10 basil, a level 50 dunkel, and a level 50 angler, so probably not

[tribal wigeon]

Just crossing my fingers my RTX 3090 wont catch on fire haha

[amber cedar]

I suppose I could sacrifice one of my fodder megalodons to feed the tuso one stack of pearls

[rapid glade]

yo a desmodus cant pick a steg rider?

[humble nexus]

Just keep farming ammonites then, they give good easy black pearls

Or even just trilobites

[rapid glade]

?

[amber cedar]

Ammonites? The snails? I never bothered to figure out how those work
I've been hunting sea scorpions

[humble nexus]

The sea scorpions are the ammonites 🤦‍♂️

The snails are achatina

[amber cedar]

I thought the sea scorpions were Eurypterids

[copper osprey]

When the next community crunch ?

[amber cedar]

I mean the sea snails, not the land snails that are fed sweet vegetable cakes

Aww man, my high level dophin got killed by an electric eel. Tried fighting it with my basil but my sharks got in my way

[tough yarrow]

Ohhh yh their defo worth killing

[humble nexus]

RIP

[amber cedar]

The sea snails and the sea scorpions or just the sea scorpions?

[sharp stream]

do argys aggro torwards crystal wyverns?

[humble nexus]

Scorpions

[humble nexus]

Domesticated crystal wyvern?

[sharp stream]

tamed ember crystal wyvern

[humble nexus]

I’m pretty sure they only aggro if u eat a nearby corpse

Otherwise it shouldn’t

[sharp stream]

so I can just trap it without trouble? (On wyvern)

[humble nexus]

Trap the argent I’m guessing?

[sharp stream]

Yes

I have the hunter traps mod so I can just quickly deploy a cage

[compact dome]

[sharp stream]

without it flyin away

[compact dome]

Im a cat too

[sharp stream]

ok

[compact dome]

Im a royalty cat

[sharp stream]

All cats are royalty, humans have to do what they say

now if you excuse me, I have an argy to tame

to add to my collection of flyers. (Tapejara, pteranodon, 2 wyverns, 3 pelagornis, dimorphodon, vulture, and ichthyornis, along with a few long jumpers)

[pale pecan]

is there gonna be small tribes

[compact dome]

Where’s quetzal

[sharp stream]

theres alot in the desert near my base but I couldnt figure out how to make it land

[compact dome]

[sharp stream]

I might tame it once I get chain bolas or possibly nets

if those even work on quetzals

[past sentinel]

Tame a griffin, you can tranq in the air then.

[sharp stream]

cant figure out how to seperate the griffin from the others

[compact dome]

Ez kill the others

[past sentinel]

Use a scope to find one you like level and color if that matters to you, then longshot it with a tranq so it agros to you but not the rest. That what I do.

[sharp stream]

my crystal wyverns are low levels unfortunately

[sharp stream]

No ammo in my longneck

[compact dome]

[sharp stream]

only crossbow

[dreamy linden]

Can babies starve in cryopods?

[dreamy flame]

This thing said it didn't send then it sent 😂

[dreamy linden]

I can't find a frozen fresh hatched theri from this morning anywhere that I put into the freezer right before the Nitrado maint. started

[dreamy flame]

Do you have alot of fridges?

[dreamy linden]

2, I've checked both multiple times

[dreamy flame]

Oh.... Check your food fridge lol I have out one in there before on accident

[dreamy linden]

what the .... why did my map reset? the map I hold

[haughty vigil]

do all green gems in midgard only spawn under water

[dreamy flame]

Glitch most likely

[amber cedar]

Ah fuck, a level 120 plesiosaur and level 150 megalodon off in the distance, both in proximity to a level 10 ALPHA mosasaur

[dreamy flame]

Only place I find them unless you go to Vanneheim then they are easy to find

[haughty vigil]

vaanneheim is the jungle right?

[dreamy flame]

And the easiest to me lol I stayed there when official PvE servers were up and you can do a windmill because there's constant wind

[haughty vigil]

damn

i only went there once and i died to a terror bird

[dreamy flame]

My favorite op x raptors are there lol I kid you not I had a squad of them that would rip a bosses ass in under 5 minutes

[haughty vigil]

damn

[dreamy flame]

They had roughly 1400 melee and 17k health because I bred them so much 😂 the dps on them was really overlooked

[amber cedar]

Shit, that level 120 plesiosaur got killed before I could reach my crew in time and get them away from this spot

[dreamy linden]

Does anyone know or have a solution to getting either my map back or making it to where my map stops clearing/resetting when I log off?

All of a sudden happened once this power flash happened in my house and logged me off

Never had an issue with it before

[amber cedar]

It really feels like the sea scorpions are much rarer than the wiki indicates

[pale pecan]

is there gonna be small tribes

[sharp stream]

finally taming an anky 😄

[vernal garnet]

@romad Nah, they just hide and don't aggro at medium range. Hit a nautilus. They'll show up.

[bold rose]

[sharp stream]

are pulmonoscorpius worth taming? I just tame random dinos incase they have a use

[winged hamlet]

if you get them really high in md they can be used to KO some things, and while they're not really fast they can walk up fairly high angled hills

[gleaming wyvern]

Spend just a few minutes in vb on rag lmao

[winged hamlet]

the sunken ship always has lobsters in and around it

[gleaming wyvern]

As guard dogs they’ll knock out attackers

[winged hamlet]

if you have the Better Dinos mod they passively produce a narcotics alternative

[dense fable]

bro its says one of my freinds is playing asa on discord

[amber cedar]

Finally found enough scorpions for black pearls, now to find a tuso and sacrifice one of my megalodons to it for a bigger badder companion

[winged hamlet]

a turtle is a good thing for squid fodder

[wary barn]

unless u need more than 1 feed u could do it with a low lvl itchy lol

[amber cedar]

Finding a turtle and leveling it will take even more time
I'm willing to get rid of one of my sharks to save time

I already spent all day gathering all the white pearls and black pearls I need for future projects and gathering/taming non-shark fish that are very useful for ocean exploration, I don't want to spend an entire additional day finding a high level turtle and leveling its HP

[velvet sphinx]

Does anyone know how to fix Host Connection timeout: Lost/Timeout connection to host, me and my friend were playing on a non-dedicated server with mods and this poped up when i tried to join

[haughty vigil]

dude

i go to vanaheim for a terror bird and green crystals, and i cant find nun

[vernal garnet]

@velvet sphinx Mod mismatch is the likely culprit. Update your mods and try again.

[winged hamlet]

a high level turtle is still good, they're cheap to tame, and should survive long enough

[amber cedar]

Maybe so, but it still takes time to find one, tame one, and level one to survive a tuso grapple

[winged hamlet]

wouldn't even need to level it with a saddle

[vernal garnet]

WHo said anything about Survive?

[winged hamlet]

a shark or something works too

i mean, if it dies too fast the tuso won't get tamed

[amber cedar]

Aw dammit
Even if I feed it the 50 black pearls it needs?

[dreamy flame]

Look for the rollrats

[winged hamlet]

if it dies before you can feed it

the squid needs to be actively grabbing something to allow feeding

[haughty vigil]

ok im leepy

i go bed now honk shoe honk shoe

[amber cedar]

It does, yep
I just didn't think it'd be able to deal out a metric ton of damage that high in a matter of seconds

[winged hamlet]

high level squids can hurt, or eventually KO your tame

and high level squids will probably need more than 1 feeding too

[dreamy flame]

I hated messing with the squids

[winged hamlet]

once you get a squid the ocean really opens up to you

especially if you start breeding them

[amber cedar]

Ah yes
A few hours ago I found a level 20 tuso
But when I went back to that general area, it was gone, and it might be in proximity to that level 10 alpha mosa I saw off in the distance

[sharp stream]

is it biotoxin or smth?

[winged hamlet]

it's a mod item named Scorpion Venom

[sharp stream]

alr

[winged hamlet]

it works exactly like narcotics except it has a spoil timer

but hey, it's free

[dreamy flame]

I used to hatch baby scorps fir a chitin farm lol

[winged hamlet]

and you can store it in the fridge so it lasts longer

[dreamy flame]

For*

[amber cedar]

My level 200 megalo has 9k health
Will a low level tuso be able to kill that even after I feed it the pearls?

[winged hamlet]

should be fine

make sure it has a saddle

and for good measure it should be on passive

[wary barn]

it shouldn’t even take more than 300 hp dmg honestly

[winged hamlet]

the meg's bleed will really hurt a high hp tame like a squid

[wary barn]

As long as its just one feed, you could tame a tuso with a dodo if you wanted to

[winged hamlet]

you'd have to get the dodo down there

[wary barn]

just throw it out of a cryo and quickly overweigh it lol

[amber cedar]

Yes, it's just one feed.
I'd only need two feeds if I was taming a high level tuso since I'm playing singleplayer

[amber cedar]

Total or per tick?

[wary barn]

then that tuso wont even scratch the megalodon

[winged hamlet]

a squid also makes taming mosas and plesis easy as pie

[amber cedar]

And dunkles, since those take reduced torpor damage

[winged hamlet]

kinda yeah

[wary barn]

You mean by grabbing them? That would take forever though

[winged hamlet]

but if you grab a plesi or mosa and pull them up to the surface, they go completely passive past a certain depth

[amber cedar]

That's good
Hopefully that breaks nothing

[winged hamlet]

it does take a few minutes though

[amber cedar]

That's fine
Still saves the crafting of materials
Of course, there's also the matter of having the food (ideally the preferred kibble) for taming them after getting torpor'd

[winged hamlet]

plesis are easy af. they usually come in pairs so kill the lower level one and use the prime meat it drops to tame its buddy

mosas you'll need narcotics and kibble

[amber cedar]

Fortunately my basil has a ton of biotoxin to use as narcotics should the situation arise, but I only have four exceptional kibble left, not enough for a worthwhile meso

[wary barn]

although once you start using a tuso you probably wont ever use any other water dino, they’re just so fast and strong

makes mosas and pleisios seem really weak in comparison, especially attacking on them is pretty annoying sometimes

[amber cedar]

Daaaamn, so it's indeed worth sacrificing one of my sharks for one of those

[winged hamlet]

what i usually do is tame some yutys and make an extraordinary kibble farm

[dreamy flame]

My kapro was my favorite underwater. Fast and hit pretty hard

[winged hamlet]

one male and like 8 females nearby usually gives me more than i'll ever need

[wary barn]

Its easier with deinos as their fert eggs dont go bad

[glacial pond]

turtles with high hp also works

good ol Snackrifice

[winged hamlet]

depends on how long the mating cooldown is

yutys can pop out an egg once or twice an hour

[amber cedar]

Takes time to find a high level one, tame it, then level its HP.
Not taking that option.

[modest orchid]

Takes time to do everything it's ark. Turtle is fastest though

[amber cedar]

First imma need to tame enough yutys, and last time I tried to take on a yuty, I lost almost an entire flock of argys, thinking my pump shotgun and my longneck rifle could take the yuty and the carnos it was accompanied by

[vernal garnet]

Taming Tuso in ASA will be a bit more difficult with no Cryos I guess,

[winged hamlet]

we tamed squids before cryos

[wary barn]

well if you’re playing with mods it doesn’t really matter if you have a hatchery, but if you’re playing vanilla you can just keep the deinos on mating the whole time as temperature doesn’t make the eggs go bad

[winged hamlet]

it just means you need to build a base on the water

[vernal garnet]

Yes, it can be done. It will just a be a few more steps than people are accustomed to.

[winged hamlet]

it'll be nice to get back to basics for a while

[wary barn]

squids honestly one of the easiest tames you can get

[winged hamlet]

then really appreciate having cryopods (or soul traps because they're so much better)

[vernal garnet]

Yeah, I don't hate it. Just hadn't thought through all the impacts that no cryos would have on standard strategies

[winged hamlet]

they're fairly easy to tame, it's just getting to them and having the taming food can be a pain before you get to a certain point

[vernal garnet]

But please...don't make me raise a baby IN A CAVE

[wary barn]

depends on the map, on rag or gen1 for example you could tame one within 20 mins of making a new char

[vernal garnet]

That's just cruel to the baby

[amber cedar]

So what dododex is telling me is that in my singleplayer settings, the max level tuso I can tame before I start requiring a second stack (and with it a tame that can survive the three minute strangulation) would be level 100

[winged hamlet]

on crystal isles you could get it sooner

ever since that map launched it's had beached squids on the southwest beaches

[vernal garnet]

Because they beach themselves?

Whoops...you answered as I was typing

[amber cedar]

How much damage would the level 200 megalo with 9k HP take from a level 100 tuso?

[winged hamlet]

there's usually anywhere between 3-7 squids from the very corner island all the way to the start of the desert

[wary barn]

yeah but black pearls aren’t as accessible to the spawnpoints on ci

[winged hamlet]

easy, kill the other beached squids

[vernal garnet]

CI is probably my least favorite map. It's just...not fun for me.

[karmic stratus]

why did my ark uninstall itself

[wary barn]

yeah same for me lol

[winged hamlet]

it was pretty but empty

i mostly used it as an easy artifact farm for other maps

[wary barn]

i play with ini mostly and ci looks so messed up with it

[amber cedar]

Phew, thank goodness for this light my anglerfish is providing
I think I've been taking it for granted

[wary barn]

thats why ini ^

[vernal garnet]

If I remember, CI was the first map I played afted the Island because it had just dropped and the more experienced players wanted to check it out. I played for a few weeks and lost interest. Didn't play Ark again for another 6 months or so.

[amber cedar]

Uhhh, between my 7 shorks and a level 10 alpha mosa, will the mosa win or can the sharks prevail?

[cinder folio]

mosa

[split relic]

WHEN PC DROPPING

[amber cedar]

Dammit

Gonna need to find myself a tuso, then

[wary barn]

depends on the sharks, if they’re all decently leveled and have a saddle, you should be good

[winged hamlet]

what level are the sharks and do they have good saddles?

[amber cedar]

I'd show a screenshot, but I can't

[winged hamlet]

because their bleed and pack buff will shred an alpha mosa if they live long enough

i beat the gen 1 water boss with like 12 basic bred sharks with decent saddles and i never lose a single shark

[amber cedar]

Oh yes, my one shark at the time was able to put up a surprising fight against a level 20 regular mosa
I say surprising because the mosa pretty much couldn't land any hits against the shark

[winged hamlet]

mosas have a very wide turn radius

[amber cedar]

Yep

My sharks are generally in the double digits, with the exception of two, one at level ~130 and another at level ~200

[winged hamlet]

i'd breed the ones with the highest hp stats

md means surprisingly little with their bleed

[amber cedar]

Nononononononono
Found three electro eels in front of me, so I whistled my squad to stand down while I wipe the eels. As I get close to the eels, a big fuck you from the game with a mosasaur (likely the alpha I tried to get away to prepare for) AND the eels

Oh, phew, it wasn't the alpha, it was just a level 20 mosa

And the search for a tuso continues
Maybe in the meantime I can gather the pearls I need for a second set of 50 just in case

[wary barn]

what map u on?

[amber cedar]

The Island

[oak girder]

is gacha claus spawning?

[amber cedar]

In The Island?

[oak girder]

yeah

[brisk phoenix]

In a few weeks when console is ready

[amber cedar]

It used to back when I first ever picked up the game. Was terrified of somehow aggroing those so I kept my distance

[oak girder]

with event tames like gacha claus as long as you tame him before he leaves will he stay?

[winged hamlet]

can't tame gacha claus

you feed them event items (coal and mistletoe), and they drop gifts

[amber cedar]

Oooh, a level 100 megalodon
Time to add it to my herd

[winged hamlet]

that's fine for now, but before long generally any tame under level 120 is useless

[amber cedar]

Speaking of which, I don't get it
I all my sharks set to highest following distance, and yet they all still crowd around the basil they're following and still form some sort of shark ball

[winged hamlet]

the basil is long

[amber cedar]

Ahh, dammit, understood

[winged hamlet]

especially when it comes to breeding for stats

[ocean canyon]

guys next week trailer of ARK A

[winged hamlet]

120 is minimum you should go for because you can get lucky with high stats

[amber cedar]

My squad managed to kill it before I could tame it anyway

[lament dagger]

[amber cedar]

Yes, but they still crowd around the upper half of the basil, the part where I mount

[winged hamlet]

whistle to follow while mounted on the basil

that way they follow the basil and not you

[amber cedar]

That's what they already do

Found a level 60 basil
Certainly an upgrade to my level 10 basil

At this rate I'll need to carry around a third scuba tank for prolonged deep sea exploration

[fallow sand]

What graphic card yall using for ASA

[winged hamlet]

nvidia rtx 2080 super

[sterile robin]

asus 3050 8gb version

[silk depot]

Msi 3080 12gb version

[wanton ravine]

Hopefully the optimization gets better or else you'll need a nasa graphics card

[amber cedar]

Daaang, my squad shreds through mantas like nothing
Even a level 135 and a level 145

Should make taming basils much more doable

[spiral vale]

Rtx3090

[amber cedar]

I forget my graphics card

[fallow sand]

I have a AMD 6750 xt I hope I can play or I am going to cry lol

[amber cedar]

13/45 durability left on my scuba tank
I feel like I won't be able to tame this much stronger basil

[oak girder]

oh

[amber cedar]

Ugggghhh, my flock gets attacked by one shark and now my tamed low level basil is running away from me and taking my entire flock with it

At least I was able to whistle at my fleeing basil to follow me, so that's good

Well shit, looks like my squad killed an alpha megalodon and I never even noticed until I inspected a bag that was floating in the water

Either that or something even more dangerous killed it. Probably that, because if one of my tames killed it, their inventory would have those items instead.

[floral sierra]

3060ti

i hope thats enough

they making it sound like its the next big thing

like on par with doom

[amber cedar]

Oh fuck, found a level 145 megalodon
I hope I... oh wait... I ran out of kibble
Nevermind, time to hightail it out of here

[wary barn]

you don’t need kibble to tame stuff lol, prime meat works pretty much just as well

might have 1 base lvl less

[ivory lagoon]

ASA dropping out tomorrow 😎

[amber cedar]

But prime meat spoils in seconds

[weary berry]

2060 +ps5

[sharp stream]

I found 3 level 36 wyvern eggs in a row :/

and while going back I found a 160 tropical

with no primal crystals on me or my dino

[wary barn]

keep it in the inventory of a tame

[amber cedar]

It still spoils quickly

[wary barn]

lasts long enough to tame a megalodon

esp if you have a tuso already you shouldn’t have any troubles killing a plesio for some quick prime meat

[amber cedar]

Maybe so, but all the prime meat I had on my tames is likely long gone

[crude creek]

Will there be more official servers for different regions in ASA? For example, OCE only had official servers, will we get arkpocalypse, small tribes ETC?

[amber cedar]

Troubles killing a plesio? No
Troubles finding one? Absolutely

[wary barn]

finding prime meat really shouldn’t be too much of an issue lol, plenty of creatures drop it

[amber cedar]

In the deep ocean? Maybe

[raw loom]

Was the islands supposed to be getting a map tlc on launch, i forgot but i feel like i heard something of it?

[wary barn]

mosas, plesios and basilos all drop it, and megalos drop prime fish meat. and you can just swim up to land and kill anything bigger than a theri for prime meat if you really dont find anything

[thick lotus]

it's a complete remake of the island and every other map

[dreamy linden]

that's why you wait to collect the food a min or two before the dino's ready to eat it all

[raw loom]

Ah, preci8 it.

[amber cedar]

Megalos drop prime fish meat? I've only ever seen them drop regular fish meat

[thick lotus]

megalodons do drop prime fish yeah

[static fjord]

harvest it with your character, i never seem to get prime fish from a megalodon on a tame

[sharp stream]

pteranodon or tapejara

[prisma helm]

Before ASA comes out does anyone have good PvP tips, planning on playing PvP servers since all these years I’ve stuck to non dedicated sessions. Only played PvP like twice???

[icy wedge]

find a tribe. best way to survive official pvp

[prisma helm]

Thx🙏

[hallow sage]

Do you guys know good Xbox servers to play?

[worldly portal]

@prisma helm the key to survival on the Pvp island is to stick with a wise and trustworthy group.💪 There is strength in numbers! I would advise against trusting people you just meet, as you never know who will cross you when it's a fight for survival. Make sure you build a fortified base close to resources and water, as it makes the trips for it a lot easier. Good luck out there fellow survivor I am confident you will do well!

[icy wedge]

^

[prisma helm]

Thank you sm

[wary barn]

if you’re fully new to pvp i would recommend starting out on a popular unofficial server and finding some friends there

honestly the most important thing you need to get started in pvp is just time

[worldly portal]

@prisma helm my friend @wooden plover is also an ark coach, he is very experienced and has over 25,000 hours of ark pvp experience. Feel free to reach out to him if you ever need advice

[prisma helm]

Oh thanks

Ima keep all these things to mind for sure! Appreciate all

[worldly portal]

No problem! Always happy to help a fellow survivor

[sharp stream]

do sinomacrops spawn in crystal isles

so only lost island

is there a similar shoulder pet in crystal isles?

I'm trying to make a shoulder pet collection in my base

(I aim to tame a glowtail and featherlight next)

I'll just check

found it, archaeopteryx.

glowtail is found in certain caves

featherlight is arctic

[sharp stream]

dang it, it has to be picked up like a dodo

Pelagornis + Ichthyornis = Ultimate fisherman

[amber cedar]

I seriously need to find deep sea loot crates so I can potentially craft better quality scuba tanks

[sharp stream]

I recommend ichthyosaurus

they're fast little guys

[amber cedar]

Ahh, I could use those
Or a tuso

Also, finally having lots of pearls, let alone thousands, feels so, so good. It feels great finally being able to give my high level paracer a platform saddle and craft platform saddles for my brontos if I so desire

[sinful knot]

The operative phrase to remember is "before you buy" regarding the trailer. That doens't necessarily mean the trailer is going to drop before the game releases, just that you'll have a chance to watch it before making your purchase.
