ark-survival-ascended

[sinful knot]

they could very well launch at the same time. I think SE did that

[night python]

do you think theyre gonna change animations? like gun animations, riding, etc

[long nova]

no more guns, replaced with otters

[vernal garnet]

3070TI...I'm good

[silent matrix]

I'm really really hoping it isnt remastered too much. Need to keep it classical gentlemen. 🫰🏻

[fathom tapir]

literally only praying for optimization. the bugs can stay imo thats what made ark ark

[fresh rune]

I’m hoping it’ll run at least similarly to ASE if not better because even ASE was hard to run despite being 8 years old

[amber cedar]

Found a thylacoleo clinging to a tree
Tried angling my platformed quetzal so I could get a tranq shot at it and adjust accordingly. Thylacoleo jumps at me, I try shotgunning it to the face, survives, I die, I learn the thylacoleo is level 140
Would have loved to tame that

Greeeeat, I can't even find where I died

[humble crag]

I really hope they dont stop production for ASA to go worl on Ark 2 after they release ASA…

[static fjord]

just shoot it once and it'll drop down. thylas also dont torpor run, so you can just stay on a cliff and shoot it

[upper notch]

Just curious, If I already own ASE, would ASA be free to download or would I need to pay for ASA?

[static fjord]

you need to pay

much cheaper than ase though, $45 on launch for the entire game, free dlcs and all formerly paid dlcs

[sudden hare]

Release when?

[static fjord]

before october 31st is all we know

[upper notch]

Ah, ok

[amber cedar]

Oh it jumped at me before I could shoot at it

[static fjord]

use a grappling hook on dinos that have you grabbed. it'll force them to let go

[amber cedar]

Ah, thank you very much

Yess, level 130 argy now in its cage. Now I just have to make the kibble I need to tame it (hopefully nothing will kill it or take it out of the cage as I find the eggs I need for the kibble it needs)

[static fjord]

place some spike walls around it if youre worried, the wooden ones are made of like 40 wood and some hide and fiber in your inventory

[fierce ruin]

if you go far enough away it will de-render and nothing will attack it

[hot quartz]

Well the former DLCs are free, but the new ASA exclusive DLCs are still paid. (I think there are two?)

Will be cool to see ASA bring the ARK universe into a modern engine, and also further expand on it rather than just being a copy paste with no changes or additions.

[amber cedar]

Ahh, thank you very much
Hopefully I didn't build the cage too close to my base

[clear aurora]

what yall think odds for trailer friday

[native kayak]

I’m thinking Saturday or Sunday for a trailer

[clear aurora]

y thwn

[hot quartz]

Yea probably Sat/Sunday since twitchcon will be in full swing.

And its the only major gaming event going on in late october. Would also line up perfectly with Wildcard's (usual) release days (Tuesdays). Placing release on October 24th.

[winged hamlet]

i miss e3

[hot quartz]

Worst case scenario (imo) is Tuesday the 31st, but I think they are eager to get it out now.

I would actually be shocked if its not the 24th. (But again this is just my opinion)

The bummer is that Lord of The Rings: Return to Moria drops the same day. So i will have to prioritize ARK if it drops the same day.

[winged hamlet]

after the gollum game im not looking to another lotr game

[native kayak]

Tbh I think it might release on the 27th (my personal opinion)

[hot quartz]

Eh i dont think thats fair. The Gollum game is entirely unrelated to the Moria devs.

Their game actually looks really good in gameplay videos.

[hot quartz]

Im curious what made you choose the 27th compared to something like 24/31?

[winged hamlet]

tuesday is a normal release day

[native kayak]

Cause they mentioned they would give people time to decide whether they want to get asa or not and it seems like a reasonable timeframe

[winged hamlet]

the team is there if something goes bad instead of having to work or leave it over the weekend

[hot quartz]

Yea it is, and most wildcard stuff has come out on tuesdays (with two exceptions).

And you are absolutely right about the reason why games usually release on tuesdays.

[hot quartz]

Fair enough. Any guess is a valid guess tbh.

[shrewd agate]

friday would be a really weird day as most of the studio will be out of office during the weekend in case there are some issues

[winged hamlet]

exactly

[hot quartz]

Yea generally you want tuesday because it allows monday to be final launch prep, then tuesday is go day, and you have 3 more regular workdays to provide reactionary support.

[winged hamlet]

i know WoW does the same for patch day

[shrewd agate]

Heard that Wildcard? Next week tuesday kthxbye

[hot quartz]

But even those 3 days are sometimes not enough. I've worked 20+ hour shifts at EA when I was on the FIFA team due to launch problems 😅 Glad I don't work there anymore, just got sick of the overtime constantly.

The saddest part was the pay was terrible but they'd buy us dinner and act like they did us a huge favor xD

[winged hamlet]

youd think releasing the same game year after year would be easy lol

[hot quartz]

Right?!

The worst thing was testing all the VFX for every combination of lootbox lol.

[winged hamlet]

i worked at gamestop back in 06, fifa ended up in the bargain bin so fast

[hot quartz]

Oh yea, and its still like that with all sports games. They sell a ton of copies and then have really fast turnover.

[winged hamlet]

same with madden and any other yearly sports clone game

[hot quartz]

The crazy part is the whole "create a team" thing in FUT makes more money than selling the game. Crazy lootbox system.

[winged hamlet]

i quietly laughed anytime someone bought them on launch day

reduced price within a month

bargain bin by the time the next comes out

[hot quartz]

Yea I think the weird thing about that whole playerbase is that FIFA/NHL game players are not usually gamers. Most of them are just dudes who own a console specifically for that one game.

And they dont touch anything else or even play that often at all.

[winged hamlet]

eh tbf i only bought xbox for halo games. the extra stuff like dark souls and such were gravy

sometime i wanna get a playstation to play demon souls and bloodborne

[hot quartz]

Thats literally what I bought my PS5 for.

[amber cedar]

Well god fucking dammit, I come back to the caged argy getting attacked by a carnotaurus, so I and my tamed argy have to kill it. Now the caged argy is all beaten from the fight, and I don't think it can handle getting tranqued

[hot quartz]

I am currently playing Lords of the Fallen on PC, then gonna play Demon's Souls on PS5.

[amber cedar]

At least I can try to drag the body into the cage and hope it'll eat the corpse

[winged hamlet]

put a bed or sleeping bag down

let it kill and eat you

[amber cedar]

Sounds too risky
Either way, managed to get it to heal from its tormentor's corpse

[winged hamlet]

just gotta leave your gear and inventory down, respawn at the bag and you'll have lost nothing

[amber cedar]

True

Alright, caged argy tranqued
Now I gotta guard this argy from the ever annoying carnos and terror birds

Fortunately the spike traps are easy to craft

[winged hamlet]

build a thatch wall around it

if you block LoS nothing will bother it

[uncut idol]

Regarding ASA if there are dedicated host servers will there be boundaries that prevent others from going too far from the host?

[winged hamlet]

no thats something nonded servers do

dedicated servers dont have that restriction

nonded is basically your computer running the game for you and acting to render the other people at the same time, so the tether is to keep it from putting too much of a strain on your processor

[amber cedar]

Ahh, gotta make sure to blook line of sight, then, thank you

[winged hamlet]

yeah, same for bases. if dinos dont have line of sight they won't attack

even a thatch wall will keep a giga in place so long as it doesnt attack

[languid perch]

I need ascended ark

[amber cedar]

I need ascended anything
Highest quality item I have is a mastercraft bary saddle

[gloomy pawn]

Artefact still be blocked in PVP right ? Or did they learn from it ? Anyone know?

[sharp olive]

I have a question. Are there any statistics available regarding the percentage of players who play in PvP and PvE modes?, including local host, of course I would like to know if the ARK community is more oriented toward PvE or PvP. I haven't found any information on this.

[grand hatch]

I think trailer is coming out friday and game release will be 27th

[amber cedar]

Is there a limit to the number of players that can be grappled to an argy that's being commandeered?

[lilac yacht]

Friday - Sunday because I think it will drop at twitch con 100%

[lilac yacht]

Dont think so but I think grappling makes you weigh more than if you were picked

[amber cedar]

Ahh, damn, understood

[lilac yacht]

If you dont weigh much itll be fine I dont think you weigh much more

@tall minnow I really think you should make a poll over adding the rhynio to asa tbh

Way too unbalanced for the old style pvp people are craving atm

[amber cedar]

So hear me out: several quetzals, each holding a mammoth, each quetzal accompanied by several argys, each argy carrying a dino on their feet and having a soldier dangling from a grappling hook as they pull out rocket launchers and aim for your base

The quetzals also have a few argys standing still on the platform saddle waiting to be deployed by their riders.

And a brontosaurus acting as an aircraft carrier for even more controlled bombardment

Hahaha, thank you very much

Animal held by argy feet mainly to hide the demolition soldiers as they rappel down and reveal themselves with rocket launchers and start blasting

Oh, they wouldn't be paratroopers yet. They're mainly to provide each argy its own personal firepower, then they fall on land

Ahh, clearing turrets and obstacles, how so?

Or TWO firepower if an argy is holding a soldier with its feet and has a second soldier dangling from a grappling hook

Ahh, good point
Mobile siege engines

...looking back, I shouldn't have killed the female brontos I found in redwood even if they were low leveled.
I seriously need as many sources for extra large eggs as possible

And build more large plots for the four main crops for more kibble. And build a greenhouse around them.

[true heart]

does ark have denuvo?

[small ruin]

They could easily change this, they also ruined fjordur when it fist dropped when they thought it was a good idea to only let 1 tribe get element

[gloomy pawn]

Yeah but Wildcard is a bit resistant when it comes to learning from mistakes so they prob dont change it ^^

[small ruin]

I’ve already @ devs saying about artifacts but they won’t do fuck all, all they have to do is put them on random mountains,uw

[lilac yacht]

Or just make cave building not allowed

Open world base pvp is way better anyway caves are too op and ofc fixes artifact problems et

[lyric narwhal]

I hope grapple glitching no longer exists

[lyric narwhal]

Wildcard the devs themselves are good

If they can help it imo they will try change it but it's more about snails input

[gloomy pawn]

Yeah i get that

[lyric narwhal]

Snails prob doesn't wanna change what worked cuz they don't know shit ab game design

[gloomy pawn]

Ye

[supple saffron]

When coming ascended

[static fjord]

keep them on mating, fertilised eggs work for kibble. oviraptors on wander will also boost unfertilised egg production

[dry kindle]

Someone have a way to beat hard dragon with tamed/ first gen dinos? Same with brood

Do you need cakes and bred theris for dragon? Or

[lilac yacht]

1 yuty 19 rexes normally for deagon no?

[hardy canyon]

You can tame procoptodon and use shotgun

[languid perch]

RAHHHHH I NEED IT NOW

[hardy canyon]

Tame megatherium its bullshit

[languid perch]

is there any info regarding next community crunch

[winged hamlet]

there will be when the crunch comes out

[languid perch]

i mean is there anything confirmed from now on what will be there

[winged hamlet]

not until the crunch comes out

anything before then is just speculation, and usually complaints about the last crunch

[candid trout]

Dreadnaughtus dossier confirmed

[turbid lily]

12 days left

[silent matrix]

Is there even a slim chance that i could somehow run the game without a graphic card

[lethal turret]

No lol graphic cards are very important

have a look on youtube of trying to play something like terraria without one

[hard silo]

Try it let us know the results

[silent matrix]

:[

[inner peak]

you can run it in your imagination without a GPU )

[winged hamlet]

more than likely, no, integrated graphics will not run higher end games

[silent matrix]

:[

Am sad
||And pissed as shit||

[silent matrix]

And how much do graphic cards cost ?

[winged hamlet]

a few hundred at least

especially if you want one that can run recent games

[inner peak]

depending on what you want to play and on what settings

[silent matrix]

Well ASA obv

[winged hamlet]

we dont know the specs for asa yet

[silent matrix]

A

[inner peak]

who knows🧐 you will soon find out on the steam page the minimum and optimal system requirements ) ...very soon.

[winged hamlet]

black friday is right around the corner

[silent matrix]

All i know is that i wont be able to buy one for months or even a year

[silent matrix]

I only have 23 euros rn

[winged hamlet]

oof

[silent matrix]

When is black friday

[winged hamlet]

its the day after american thanksgiving

[silent matrix]

And when is that

Also why do americans kill each other over discounts on black friday

[winged hamlet]

nov 24 this year

cyber monday on the 27th

[silent matrix]

What the fuck is cyber monday

[winged hamlet]

like black friday but for online deals

[silent matrix]

K what's the recommended specs for ASE

[winged hamlet]

check the steam page for it

[normal summit]

when can play asa

[winged hamlet]

im on phone so not something i can easily find/type out

asa is out sometime this month

[normal summit]

there is not even a video

[winged hamlet]

yep

[silent matrix]

Ye we know but the trailer should come soon

[winged hamlet]

people complain about that five times every hour at least

[silent matrix]

And there's a community crunch tomorrow

[normal summit]

😂

[winged hamlet]

theres a big event this weekend so possible trailer

[silent matrix]

Event ?

[winged hamlet]

twitchcon i think

[silent matrix]

O

[normal summit]

Can xgp users play for free for the first time?

[night obsidian]

I hope they drop it

[winged hamlet]

asa will cost $40

[night obsidian]

discount on Christmas?

[winged hamlet]

that is discounted

it was originally $60

then it got delayed twice and they dropped the price

[night obsidian]

I thought it was originally 45, then on release it'll be $40

[static fjord]

it is

[winged hamlet]

on release its 40, then will go back to 45 after a few days

[static fjord]

full release will probably be after like a year and a half though.

[night obsidian]

Will it be on steam Christmas sale?

[winged hamlet]

if i could tell the future id play the lottery

i wouldnt count on it though

[night obsidian]

you better play it and give all of us asa

[static fjord]

bro isnt santa

[night obsidian]

they are Kristmas

[blazing topaz]

[night obsidian]

[tranquil pilot]

Still no asa channel huh

[eager nacelle]

i cant be arsed to play ASE until ASA is here, dont wanna put the hours in... guys hurry

[silent matrix]

Dwad chat

Dead*

[tranquil pilot]

Sadge

[primal dust]

other than being unreal engine 5 and updated graphics, what is ASA actually changing over ASE? do we even know or

[tranquil pilot]

Id recommend researcing it my friend

There is quite a lot of info in tbe commu.ity crunches that you will get quite excited for, also you could youtube it and see

[reef dew]

I thought it will be optimised and there will be some features

[shrewd agate]

Read the crunches. There's tons of info on what ASA will be. Hint: it will not be just ASE with improved graphics

[past sentinel]

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

[gilded spruce]

Dollie said asa retains a lot of the core aspects of ase so it’s still half true

[night obsidian]

crunchy

[languid granite]

When they realise asa

[bronze echo]

Yesterday

[gilded spruce]

Yesterday

[cobalt crescent]

When will we be able to see a trailer?

I need more info 😵

[worthy pike]

its got to be on the crunch tomorrow surely

[halcyon crown]

Before you can buy it is the best info we have. Dev’s are not saying any more.

[gaunt sundial]

Technicly doesn't need to be. They don't HAVEA to put a trailer on a crunch, and they also have 1 more Friday in October. So even if they do it in a crunch, it doesn't have to be tomorrow's

[worthy pike]

i cant see them doiny it next friday. too near the end of october

[gaunt sundial]

I'm sure you also couldn't see them not releasing a single pic or video of an in game render until 2 weeks before release. And having the game launch in UNDER 2 weeks, and still not having a release date. But. Here we are lol

[worthy pike]

well some of use are optamistic

[halcyon crown]

I half expect the trailer to coincide with the launch and not be released before.

[gaunt sundial]

I am too. I'm just settling peoples hopes is all. So you're not disappointed if the crunch release tomorrow and its yet another flop

[worthy pike]

not pessimistic

[sonic quail]

Most important question.... Are the invisible creatures in the ocean caves fixed?

[worthy pike]

i set my own hopes thanks

[gaunt sundial]

Obviously. Everyone does. For someone optimistic, you're pretty defensive with a hint of toxic

[worthy pike]

Lol

[inner scroll]

Best places to recruit people for Ark: ASA? We're looking to recruit more for ASA. DM if interested! 😄

Already a large tribe, looking for more.

[worthy pike]

Look you have your opinions so please allow me mine. Im not being toxic just defending my right to air my opinions without being corrected by someone elses opinion. You have yours i have mine so lets just leave it that. No toxisity here.

[halcyon crown]

Probably in the recruitment channel.

[ebon mist]

I hope Primitive plus gets a proper reboot in ASA

That shit was underrated and left for dead by WC

[sonic quail]

I don't remember where I saw it, but I believe the devs scrapped it and said somebody could work a mod if desired

[granite warren]

Ok im on ps4 and i can’t seem to cast my fishing line into the water is fishing bugged?

Im literally in neck deep water and still cant do it and when i do cast the line drops to right on my char’s legs

[sonic quail]

you try using a chair?

[granite warren]

Yup

[tough yarrow]

Try looking up and holding it longer

[granite warren]

Kk will try that thanks

[ivory lagoon]

.

[granite warren]

Nop 😦

Im staring at a far salmon too… im on extinction is it a known problem there?

[inner scroll]

Can we please poll to NOT have the Rhynio available on release for ASA? That's so broken.

[gaunt sundial]

No. We can't. Rhynios fine. If its broken, just tame one yourself? Then you also have the broken tame.

[hushed roost]

they also arnet exactly the easiest tame

[mossy plaza]

I wonder how hard theyll be to trap with new AI pathing

[silent matrix]

HI

[mossy plaza]

All the dinos are getting better ai pathing; trappings gonna be a pain 😆

For ASA I mean, not ASE

[granite warren]

Fixed the fishing thing by just using my pelagornis

[winged summit]

good. bout time we got realistic dinos

[thorny venture]

There is some news from ASA trailer?

[mossy plaza]

nope

[thorny venture]

😢 damn...

[mossy plaza]

it prob wont be launched with cc friday (doubtful, it's gonna be the dreadnaught dossier), but they may reveal more info so stay tuned ❤️

[thorny venture]

Thanks for the info, appreciate it 🙂

[granite warren]

Where does one get good saddles for one’s snow owl?

[winged summit]

crunch makes the most sense to drop the trailer on

[lost cape]

They have to give us the trailer on the crunch man like it is almost end of october and I would like to have a few days hype with the trailer before the game launches, not 2 days prior to launch

[mossy plaza]

I'm doubtful trailer will be tomorrow, they were just starting to work on it at the beginning of this week

Well, they were in the early renditions at least

If it's dropping on a crunch, it'll be next week; the dossier will come out this week most likely

It's probably coming when they launch the game though, or shortly (hours) before; either way we should get more info this or at least next crunch for sure 🤞

[neon kettle]

Is Ark 2 gonna be included in the ASA purchase?

[kind depot]

no

[lost cape]

Not anymore

[mossy plaza]

They aren't bundled anymore

[tough yarrow]

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

[granite warren]

GG asc flippers! XD

[neon kettle]

Oh okay, thank you

[wraith swallow]

Can all platforms play together?

[ivory lagoon]

At first it will only be Xbox, PS4 and Win10

Then on December steam will be included

[wraith swallow]

Beautiful thank you

Every day, search for a game. Is there a specific day for that?

[mossy plaza]

No specific day yet, we only know it's near the end of October

[wraith swallow]

thank you

[paper pawn]

Will ASA be on game pass

[mossy plaza]

No

Maybe in the future though, no news to my knowledge on when

[hot sparrow]

Do they drop community crunch at a specific time, or just anytime on the day?

[mossy plaza]

fridays at about 8pm est

[hot sparrow]

Ok awesome

[ebon mist]

Yeah i know that

What im saying is they shouldnt do that lmao, most people are hyped for this re-release because of how nice it will be to have at least a week of primitive gameplay again

They should switch off Tek for a few weeks or months to start as well

[mossy plaza]

They should release a primitive plus DLC for like 15 bucks, people would buy it 😆

[ebon mist]

For sure man

[mossy plaza]

quality, official prim plus would be amazing

[ebon mist]

Most people are fed up with Tek and anything Extinction onwards

they want that nostalgic primitive Ark experience again, look at WoW Classic they nailed it and its still popular af

[mossy plaza]

I only like the non-tek stuff+dinos released from extinction onwards haha

I'd rather use dino features to solve problems than tek as an overarching go-to for everything

[barren patrol]

I liked everything up to, and including Extinction. Gen1 was a hard pass for me (I never included it in any of my playthroughs). I don't mind Gen2 though. Just don't like the whole mission bit.

[echo dawn]

yo why does it say "Lost connection timeout" when i try & join my friend

[mossy plaza]

I disliked the insta-tek suit and stryders for gen2

[barren patrol]

At least with the insta tek suit, you could always discard it

[mossy plaza]

Oh for sure, I just have no self control and will always choose the easiest route 🤦‍♀️

[barren patrol]

lol i'm guilty of that too

[mossy plaza]

try #bobs-with-probs

[languid perch]

you think steam deck will be able to run asa at lowest settings? ase is borderline unplayable

[mossy plaza]

ASA should be more optimized than ASE

depends on how well it's done

Regardless, specs will be announced with release so that'll help, and if you aren't gunning to join the rat race instantly on launch then I'm sure people will review whether it works or not

[ebon mist]

Most of the additions took away the earnt aspect of the game, were cheap performance fixes, exploit work arounds etc

Cryopods was a cheap fix for server performance, and broke the game with the sheer amount of exploits and cheesing tactics they introduced

Same with skif and stryder

Aberration for me was golden age ark

[cedar hamlet]

Just release game tomorrow i can't wait to play

[tepid cloak]

If I only have it in me to beat the gamma king titan on extinction. I can ascend and not miss out on anything else? Or are there special unlocked when killing the beta and alpha king titan?

[unique widget]

What’s a Realistic percentage % that we get the ark trailer sometime in the next 5 days

[dusky widget]

3%

[mossy plaza]

I'd say 7ish-10% maybe, but we have nothing to go off of

[tardy hearth]

well at least it should be there on 31 😛 no ? 😄

[untold zodiac]

What's the new information of Ark Ascended?

[void dove]

If only there was a dedicated channel for the posting of updates for all to see ... Some kind of #announcements channel or something so everyone can keep updated and informed

[gentle stone]

lol people don't read the obvious stuff, too much common sense

so whos ready for all the people running around on the beach with bats and spares trying to kill everyone 🙂

[ebon mist]

Well they submitted the build right?

[unique widget]

Don’t get your hopes up until it actually comes out

But yes can’t wait until it does drop

I’m not an expert but how long does it take to get game cert anybody know

[proud sundial]

Not sure

My guess is like a week or 2

[sharp dragon]

Between 4-5 days and a couple weeks, depends. It’s important to remember this isn’t the first ‘round’ of tests, but the final build. So there shouldn’t be any delay

[hushed steeple]

So for console folks who don’t know much about the modding processes, on average how long do we think it’ll take before we start seeing mods show up for consoles? I’m hoping to get breeding QOL mods for people that play solo

[daring abyss]

what about storage? have they said anything about how big the game is

[sharp dragon]

Not that I’ve seen

[daring abyss]

rip

[mossy plaza]

should be smaller than ASE since it's just TI with allegedly only TI assets and blueprints

[daring abyss]

it must be at least a bit smaller since the free maps aren't included

[mossy plaza]

also ASE wasn't compressed very well so ASA should be an improvement

[daring abyss]

nice

[red current]

do yall think a regular 1650 can run ASA

[void dove]

Hard to say for certain, but looks like the Devs are somewhat working with modders to get at least sponsored mods out quick (Dinotherium model in the Crunch a few weeks ago)

[hushed steeple]

I figured the answer would be along these lines, but hoping for a “oh we already have a nanny mod confirmed 🤣

[unique widget]

Thanks I appreciate it just curious and also very excited for the game I know we all are 😎

[void dove]

I think S+ is sponsored, so that should be available I'm guessing in the first week or two

[cobalt terrace]

Hopefully the release won't be a mess

[unique widget]

I hope they keep the same loading screen of the card washed up on the beach 🏖️ that intro is so fire 🔥

[cobalt terrace]

Maybe have a few different opening screens

[unique widget]

Yeah true

[mossy plaza]

Beyond what's mentioned in the FAQ crunch in #announcements , some things I gathered through jat on this discord:
-Shoulder pets will now have an accessible inventory without throwing them off your shoulder
-More colors for mutations and dyes
-Orionsun (creator of s+) is the one who is doing the ASA building for wildcard, so building will be much better
-New feature in ASA called photo mode; has a lot of adjusters you can tweak like depth of field, zoom, etc.

[gentle anvil]

Anyone hear of any PVP seasons that will be ready at launch?

[cobalt terrace]

Although the original is nostalgic asf

[unique widget]

yesss and also we gonna see it in unreal 5 graphics 😎🤩

[grim solstice]

s+ creator doing building 👀

[cobalt terrace]

This game gonna be fire if everything goes to plan

[sharp stream]

are ankys or doeds better for obsidian? (I need to farm alot of polymer and already know where to find beaver dens)

[cobalt terrace]

Makes me nostalgic about when I first got the game all that time ago

[mossy plaza]

for reference, Orionsun did (or helped with, not sure if they had a team for it) the building in atlas too which people really liked as well

[unique widget]

I cannot wait to see what the shadow mane looks like

[mossy plaza]

it's a newer model so they prob wont change it

[cobalt terrace]

Gonna be a while

[mossy plaza]

it'll look much better with the better lighting and stuff though!

[unique widget]

I know lol 😭

[night obsidian]

Can't wait to see the cart titan

From fjordur

[unique widget]

yesss that’s gonna look so cool

[cobalt terrace]

Can't wait (And terrified) to see the reapers

Have they said anything about doing more TLC'S and stuff post-launch?

[mossy plaza]

I'd be surprised if the TLC's were all done for the early access launch, they'll prob be added in gradually (unless they reallyyyyy worked their butts off these past six or so months)

[untold zodiac]

Thank you very much nina

[void dove]

No official confirmation, but could be possible

[dense pivot]

What time in UK is the crunch ?

[fathom yacht]

Can’t wait to see the new brontos. Those guys were stuck in a limbo os low poly model and terrible texture

[void dove]

Tomorrow, roughly 9 hours from this time

So 33 hours from now

[dense pivot]

So it's released tomorrow or night ?

[void dove]

Assuming it's not late

[fathom yacht]

Crunch is always friday (us time at least)

[silent matrix]

we expect that other creatures had some touch on models or real TLC, cuz the way the raptor looks it sems it had "again" an TLC

[little trout]

Twitch con this weekend

[void dove]

TLC isn't the same as a model update. TLC will update mechanics/abilities too

[fickle kettle]

Tomorrow, from my experience the crunch is out before i leave work or as soon as I get home so 3PM PST to 4PM PST

[mossy plaza]

oh for sure, I'm expecting the blob dinos to have TLCs, but I'd be surprised if what we get at early access launch is all there'll be

[little trout]

😜

[void dove]

Usually around 5pm PST

[vernal garnet]

Why is everyone so hung up on TwitchCon. Even streamers don't care about TwitchCon.

[mossy plaza]

people think the trailer will be launched then haha

[stray goblet]

Would love to know why the Nitrado website says scorched earth is 2024.

[mossy plaza]

since they've done practically no advertising for ASA

[fickle kettle]

alot of events going on at twitch con, the tarkov arena event is a big one too

[vernal garnet]

It's an industry networking event. I've been. It's not that big of a deal.

[silent matrix]

yeah but at least they should put an new look most of them

[vernal garnet]

You go to hand out business cards and get drunk.

[fickle kettle]

WC wont be at TC but some of their partners will, and people think that the game will be announced by a partner at twitchcon

[night obsidian]

I hope they fixed the bed problem

At least give us interactable beds

[silent matrix]

im sure it had cuz by importing the old models some parts has to have changed anyway, if not had to look wierd and kinda bad...

[little trout]

Well at least I know asa looks great

[sharp stream]

are ankys or doeds better for obsidian?

[vernal garnet]

Ankys

[sharp stream]

alright

[vernal garnet]

Doeds are useless

[night obsidian]

No

[cobalt terrace]

There pretty good for stone

[night obsidian]

They're good for rocks

[sharp stream]

should I bring my ember/blood crystal wyvern or argy

[night obsidian]

The manager

Mnagmr*

[vernal garnet]

I was referencing their utility for Obsidian

[silent matrix]

hope you enjoy ASA start

[sharp stream]

magmasaur?

[night obsidian]

The jet boosted wyverns

[cobalt terrace]

Managamar or whatever

[cobalt terrace]

The ice breathing gliding rock drake thing

[sharp stream]

managarmr?

[cobalt terrace]

Yeah

[night obsidian]

Yes the thing

[sharp stream]

Dont have one

[plain tangle]

Asa wont be xbox gamepass?

[night obsidian]

Manager

[sharp stream]

only 2 ember crystal and 1 blood crystal

[cobalt terrace]

I'm sure it was confirmed to be on gamepass but I don't remember

[silent matrix]

doedi and ankys will be always top dinos to have, you take an argy and they hit the nodes for you, once alot weavy you need do it manualy but yeah they insane

[vernal garnet]

Yes, moschops, anky and doed are the primary utility dinos.

[plain tangle]

Oh yeah heard asa comes out the twenty something but is that true

Think it said 27 but idk

[grim solstice]

only speculation

[mossy plaza]

the 31st is a holiday + steam tuesday so doubtful, I'm personally expecting the 27th-30th

[silent matrix]

i see alot people that say golen its better, but i personaly never used golen for stone farm, i played official PVE solo, doedi has my guy to farm rocks with argi

[silent matrix]

mochop for poly right? penguin farm 😂

[mossy plaza]

Oh god, I forgot about farming for poly on TI 😅

[vernal garnet]

Well it all comes down to ROI (Return on Investment). You can tame a Doed quickly. Sure, Rock Golems might harvest at a better rate, but how much effort do you have to expend to tame one? Doeds are best.

[silent matrix]

im sure doedi + argi win in faster way of farm, also has going it on extintion lamp posts 🤓

[vernal garnet]

@silent matrix Moschop for pretty much anything because of their harvesting multiplier. Loads of Chitin, loads of fiber, loads of meat. Icthy + Moschop combo is OP early game.

[mossy plaza]

seagull? :o

[vernal garnet]

Yes

[silent matrix]

honestly just had then for eggs xd, i played alot on SE, for poly has just bulling mantis around the map 😂

[paper pollen]

How is crossplay going to work in ASA? Will there be crossplay servers or will all of them be crossplay?

[vernal garnet]

They transform doeds and coelacanths into prime meat. So use the seagull to grab a small animal and then harvest with the Moschops for 10+ easy prime meat.

[tough yarrow]

#general message

[night obsidian]

Yep they're pretty handy for stone bases and stone behemoths

[vernal garnet]

And the do lay large eggs. That's a great bonus for kibble farming

[silent matrix]

you will have that choice latter on, to play with consoles in same servers, but they are diferent servers, consoles still can play only with them and pcs with pcs like ASE

[mossy plaza]

I've never considered taming one, just hating them from afar 🤔 ty!

[paper pollen]

Ok so there will be specific servers for crossplay, thanks yall

[night obsidian]

Moschops are op for some reasons

With enough levels They can fight rexes

[mossy plaza]

I rarely see them and when I do they want unrealistic food for a bob to have 😆

[vernal garnet]

@night obsidian But they are also the only strictly (I think) RNG tame.

[night obsidian]

Veggie cakes

[vernal garnet]

You have to get lucky to tame one.

[mossy plaza]

who has veggie cakes that fast lol

[night obsidian]

Why do I need to bake a cake for a snail, my snail at home eat algae all day

[silent matrix]

basacly has they are so weak, its kinda hard to be using them, but im sure it worth in penguin
farm 😂

[feral niche]

hyped for asa release

[night obsidian]

Asa is 2k?

[silent matrix]

ASA is ARK2? no

[barren patrol]

no

ASA = Ark 1.5

[vernal garnet]

Anyone that says Moschops are weak hasn't played enough of the game. They are so OP early game. Can be tamed with berries (if you're lucky), harvest multiplier for damn near everything (and can have BONUS levels), they don't require a saddle, tanky AF. I could go on.

I will throw out a caveat. I only play hardcore SP. So, early mounts are probably overvalued for me.

[night obsidian]

Ah no I mean $40, it's about 2k in my currency

[vernal garnet]

Ugh, I uninstalled ASE in anticipation of ASA. Now I want to reinstall and do a quick HC run on the Island.

[silent matrix]

it is, thats why i say it, its slow, die for everything cuz no saddle , ASA dont even will have cryos at start

[barren patrol]

I've no problem using a moschops. Not usually my first tame of choice, but if there's a decent one nearby without wanting something ridiculous, I'll take it

[silent matrix]

it sems to be 39,99€ at first days

[night obsidian]

Do you think we'll get a Christmas sale?

[silent matrix]

once it comes out its like Christmas if all fine 😂

[vernal garnet]

You don't take Moschops into a damn bossfight. They are utility dinos. And they are DAMN good utility dinos. They also lay large eggs which can allow you to perfect tame a good argy for the next step in your journey. They are fantastic tames for their role.

[silent matrix]

will be the best time to get it, for some time for sure

[grim solstice]

wait whats hc

[night obsidian]

My fave dino ar deins

You can hop on walls

[vernal garnet]

@grim solstice Hardcore. One life only.

[silent matrix]

i just know my game style i cant spend that time to tame an moshop at start, been a solo and in official, not worth it

[vernal garnet]

@night obsidian Baryonx for me. Swiss Army Knife of the dinos.

[grim solstice]

oh, doubt it'll be quick

[silent matrix]

yeah used them for eggs only 😅

[night obsidian]

They were my fave on mobile, you can spin spin on water

[languid perch]

I'm a junkie for ark survival ascended

[vernal garnet]

What do you want in ASA, Dyst? For Ankys to be able to harvest metal on wander...

@languid perch You must be jonesin hard these days.

[languid perch]

jonesin?

english is not my first language what does it mean

[vernal garnet]

A word used to describe an intense craving for a drug. Comes from Great Jones Street in New York City, between Broadway and Lafayette Street, a former junkie hangout.

[night obsidian]

I want cannoes on asa

[languid perch]

yes i am jonesin on ark ascended lol

unfortunately theres a high chance i will be disappointed

[night obsidian]

I want to erase all of my memory of playing ark

It's fun relearning everything again from scratch

[vernal garnet]

@languid perch I honestly don't think we'll be disappointed. Will there be problems? Yes. Will they be fixed? Maybe. But we'll have our dinosaur game and it'll be cool and we'll play until the wee hours of the morning when we know we have to work the next day. WE'll get excited at 12:43 AM about a 145 Rex that looks pretty and spend and hour knocking it out...

[jade imp]

Habran servidores SA (south america) para ASA?

[languid perch]

i sure do hope thats the case

[vernal garnet]

@jade imp No se

[silent matrix]

official servers got the most hurt, years of working in lines gone, imagine been that persons, hope ASA bring an better way of mutations, cuz it dont sems it will...

[vernal garnet]

@silent matrix I can empathize but not really relate. Most of my play has been hardcore and speed running, so I'm used to just starting again. But seriously, did people actually think a game would be maintained forever. It was that much of a shock when the devs said, "We're moving on to another project,"? That really blows my mind that people are that upset.

[night obsidian]

They have monopoly of an entire server

[night obsidian]

That's why unofficial/non-dedicated are the best when you can still have your data

[silent matrix]

it is bad cuz officials are the lowest rates, everything takes long time, breeders tribe has non sleep for years 😅

[night obsidian]

Oh didn't know people sell with real money

[tough yarrow]

It is not allowed. It's against Ark's Code of Conduct.

[silent matrix]

yeah but for me its not fun, i dont like mods, hight rates, official its an real game world for me

[vernal garnet]

Sure...it is checks over shoulder

[tough yarrow]

Don't encourage it, please.

[night obsidian]

Awman not the black mrket

[vernal garnet]

@tough yarrow Oh, I don't. I just acknowledge its existence.

[silent matrix]

most dont, and its not alowed, and shold not

[tough yarrow]

It doesn't have one right now, since officials are shut down

[plain cove]

anyone wanna play ark with me

[tough yarrow]

https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/1110949794907684965

[night obsidian]

Now I know why some are very desperate to have monopoly and pillar the entire server

[silent matrix]

thats the best part of officials you have an "trading" life at some point, and exchange with other peoples things and dinos, gain trust and been trusted

[tough yarrow]

Trading with ingame content is perfectly acceptable

[gleaming cedar]

hey guys. a bit weird bcs i have 1.5k hours on ark servers but now im in singleplayer. and now no dinos are spawning 😦 why is that

[night obsidian]

There's an ingame economy, just like the loreeee

[tough yarrow]

Singleplayer relies on you rendering in areas, and can take up to 30 minutes for spawns to correct themselves.

[silent matrix]

is the official PVE lifestyle, colecting all dinos with the best lines we could 😂

[tough yarrow]

Yep lol

[vernal garnet]

@gleaming cedar You'll have to be more specific. Most of the time you have to render in the chunks to activate the dinos in that area.

[simple edge]

You talking about selling dinos? If thats against code of conduct then it has to be the biggest unaddressed rulebreak.

[silent matrix]

it* has my jorney, colected so manny full colors and top lines there, good times 🥹

[tough yarrow]

Regardless, it is still against Code of Conduct, and we're not encouraging it as stated in #rules

[vernal garnet]

@simple edge Yes...the dirty dirty black market.

[night obsidian]

I've been living under a rock, I only do single player

[gleaming cedar]

im in the world. my dinos are rendering and working but no new wild ones are spawning. there are a few around that were there before the bug but only like 5 on the whole world

[tough yarrow]

I did a really long time ago when I played on xbox lol

[silent matrix]

ofc it have the bad saides, lag, people try to scam you, grif you etc...

[night obsidian]

I can hear the voices of the kids raging while getting raided and scammed

[silent matrix]

at some point i had so manny cryos of dinos that i could not even know what i had 😂 , has a solo igot bored and let my multiservers bases/ tribes get dekayd...

[tough yarrow]

I stopped playing official on xbox before cryopods released

[vernal garnet]

Like I said, I'm mostly a single player hardcore type of guy. It's fun for me. I'll occasionally throw up a server on my old PC if friends decide they want to play Ark that month, but then they get bored or stuff comes up. Ark can quickly become a no-life game.

[silent matrix]

for avoide people scam you, you should enter in big tribes/ breeders discord shops, and you will be more safe, some will try do scam you but, be smart and do the thing on the right way the are done

[night obsidian]

I really hope they can add earthquakes, typhoons, and tornadoes on asa

Basically any natural calamity

[gleaming cedar]

and now all my rexes are starving to death. :/

[vernal garnet]

But one thing I truly love about Ark is how many ways there are to play and accomplish the same goal. For example: I literally forgot bear traps existed until I watched a YT video of someone using them for a tame. I was like, "Oh yeah..." I never used the things. Just skipped that engram every time.

[silent matrix]

no cryos its the most hurt to me, but yeah, doing savings i guess for latter on 😂 😂

[night obsidian]

I don't really have plans for multi but that does sound fun

[gleaming cedar]

with what in it

imaginary meat

[night obsidian]

They should not bring cryos back

[gleaming cedar]

.

[dreamy linden]

What is considered the mini bosses on the Fjordur map?

[silent matrix]

at some point you need to play in more maps, but it will dobble your time ofc..

[night obsidian]

The golem?

[dreamy linden]

....?

[vernal garnet]

@night obsidian Well, cryos serve a purpose as far as server lag because they take assets out of "the world"
and save processing power.

[gleaming cedar]

haha

[dreamy linden]

are you asking me?

[night obsidian]

Just saying that the golem could be the mini boss

[gleaming cedar]

damn 💀. sadly true tho. but can anyone help me with settings or sum.

[silent matrix]

i guess they are trying to make them work in better way, avoide glitchs and also real stress servers test for few months

[gleaming cedar]

i did like 5 times and played for 1 hour and now i ran out

[night obsidian]

Fjordur best map

[gleaming cedar]

where us that setting

[night obsidian]

That makes a lot of sense, even though sometimes I just wanna display all of my dinos

[silent matrix]

never enter in that one, stoped played once i left officials few years ago

[night obsidian]

Oh ok, you mist be a veteran. I'm very new 125 hours

[vernal garnet]

@silent matrix I had a buddy on a server that went on a Dimorphodon breeding binge. Everywhere in the world I was running at 100+ FPS. If I went near his base, it dropped to 12-14 FPS.

[night obsidian]

That's the perfect anti-raid defense

[tough yarrow]

Exit Ark and try adding the launch parameter -preventhibernation

[silent matrix]

searching for a ark developer DM me

[vernal garnet]

@tough yarrow Cue the floating jellyfish.

[tough yarrow]

What

[ivory lagoon]

Ark better release tomorrow cuz I have free day

[night obsidian]

Probably not

[vernal garnet]

@tough yarrow PreventHibernation used to cause Cnidaria to float out of the water and die.

[tough yarrow]

That happens even without preventhibernation

[silent matrix]

i dont have that much, around 3,5k in official in 2 accounts, cuz ark has an thing that alot times in servers transfers we could lose our characters or dupe them with lag or timeouts... that has realy bad.........

[desert furnace]

Good day Arkoholics

[night obsidian]

That sounds very risky

[vernal garnet]

@tough yarrow Exacerbated by PrevenHibernation...especially on maps that it doesn't normally happen

[silent matrix]

so i got the game 2 times and dlcs for been safe, guess what it happended few times, hope thats not evermore an thing in ASA

[vernal garnet]

@tough yarrow It could have been corrected. It was just a thing at one point.

But easy biotoxin

[tough yarrow]

It is not necessary to ping me in every comment. It happens regardless of adding the launch parameter.

[night obsidian]

Can that happen if I transfer a dino from one dlc map to another on single player?

[tough yarrow]

Yes. It is always a risk during transfers.

[night obsidian]

Oh damn

[sharp stream]

eat organic polymer for a free giga

[silent matrix]

no, items and dinos i never had any problem, cuz it works has server cluster thing, that data its in all servers at same time

ah if you have anything in you, has gone

[tough yarrow]

Losing/duping items is a risk no matter the server. Unfortunately.

[night obsidian]

Can't I just transfer a dinosaur file from one folder to another?😂

[tough yarrow]

ASE is just buggy

[tough yarrow]

Easier to just spawn in your stuff again if you lose it

[silent matrix]

dinos and items you always want to put in transfer terminal, on transmissor/ drops or oblisk

[night obsidian]

I hope they will fix this on asa

[dreamy linden]

What and where are the minibosses of Fjordur?
And the bosses?

[vernal garnet]

Almost lunch time here. I think I shall have a muffaletta.

Anyone else thinking of anything good?

[silent matrix]

If we buy ASA, will we get the new story DLCs too? or will those be separate purchases? I can't remember if they clarified that or not

[tough yarrow]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Fjordur

[tough yarrow]

The ASA exclusive DLC will need to be bought when it releases. The rest are included in the purchase.

[dreamy linden]

thank you

[silent matrix]

i had my tribe with my lost char has propreatery of them, lucky that i dont lost access of the tribe, but i done another newone..., also at somepoint i didnt need to tranfer cuz somewho it got duped 😂

realy hope that fixed in ASA, some kinda safeway that saves the char if that happens..

Ahh okay, well there goes the argument of me telling people to buy ASA. I was telling them to buy it cuz you'd be essentially paying for two new DLCs

[tough yarrow]

We're only getting one confirmed DLC, the other is speculation.

[unique topaz]

@silent matrix

ASA Info

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

• Community Crunch 381

Last updated: 2023-09-30

[desert furnace]

Is it though? i read 2 DLC expansions ...?

[void dove]

One confirmed, another rumored

[jade imp]

2 DLCs in ASA

[tough yarrow]

Wildcard has only said 1 DLC. Snail mentioning a second one is not a WC confirmation.

[silent matrix]

i just want that the DLCs we have, to be realy done, imagine been abandoned at somepoint...

[dreamy linden]

If Fenrisulfr the only main boss in Fjorfur?

[night obsidian]

Do we have to pay for valguero, ragnarok, fjordur dlc for asa?

[vernal garnet]

What would this place be without speculation and conjecture?

[void dove]

Fjordur has Broodmother, Megapithecus, and Dragon too

[desert furnace]

i am pretty sure i read it in a cc ... let me check 🙂

[tough yarrow]

No, as we've already said.

[void dove]

No.

[night obsidian]

Nice

[silent matrix]

they should be free like ASE

[tough yarrow]

Was only 1 DLC

[ivory lagoon]

The 39$ version will include all dlc right?

[tough yarrow]

Yes

[ivory lagoon]

Nice

[night obsidian]

I hope the center is free also, my new base will be there swimming around

[void dove]

All current DLC. Not the new one to be officially revealed

[silent matrix]

it is

[night obsidian]

Aw deym all existing dlcs?

[vernal garnet]

Let's pray that the NEW DLC isn't another Genesis crap fest.

[ivory lagoon]

From what I understand yes

[night obsidian]

That's a pretty good deal, extinct and genesis

[vernal garnet]

I mean...I wanted that incubator, so I bought it...but my god...

[desert furnace]

your right xD sorry 😅

[grim solstice]

imagine if they just never rerelease gen 2 😮

[silent matrix]

idk how they has able to even do it like it is, has an real victory

[ivory lagoon]

Astros and shadowmanes

[night obsidian]

Is there a the island only version or the only option is yhe $40 package?

[ivory lagoon]

I liked more owl diving

[void dove]

No additional packages. All or nothing

[tough yarrow]

Just don't download the other maps.

[night obsidian]

Oh ok

[ivory lagoon]

All the ark dlc on PlayStation were really something ngl

[vernal garnet]

Of the paid DLCs...Scorched was ok, Abb was a lot of fun, Extinction was no fun, Genesis was an autoskip

[night obsidian]

I'm good, I prepared a 2TB HDD

[void dove]

ok?

[ivory lagoon]

Dollar is not my country’s coin and it was so expensive

[silent matrix]

dont put games in dinossour hardware XD

[night obsidian]

I don't have money

[vernal garnet]

@night obsidian Saw an 8 TB SSD on Amazon the other day. Do I really need to go from 16TB of storage to 24TB of storage? Probably not. Will I? Probably.

8 TB SSD was 100 USD

[tough thistle]

Why does my game keep.freezing every time I'm flying on my flyer?

[silent matrix]

depending the generation of the machine, but it must be able to have an normal ssd, they are realy cheap for few years now, if too old ok, dont worth it

[vernal garnet]

@tough thistle You're playing on console?

[tough thistle]

Yeah

But no other part of thr game is glitching

[vernal garnet]

@tough thistle I was answering your question

[tough thistle]

It hasn't had a problem since they shut down servers but I'm playing solo

[night obsidian]

I think my laptop have 1 built in SSD but it's only 400 GB and only 90gb space left

[silent matrix]

i dont trust that hardware, for more a little bit, you get top tier one

[night obsidian]

Don't worry it's alright, I've been playing on an HDD. Waiting tome might be long but it works

[vernal garnet]

@tough thistle Solo requires more processing power than server play because your rig is doing all the work. The reason you're crashing is because when you fly you are forcing your machine to render things in quickly and overloading your hardware. That's a guess. But a logical one.

[tough thistle]

I'm using the series s tho and every thing else runs perfectly fine

[night obsidian]

I only stay at medium graphics to not stress my laptop

[tough thistle]

And ark is the only game that is buggy

[vernal garnet]

@silent matrix It's by Seagate which is a reputable company. Just things are on sale right now and SSDs are kind of old tech at this point.

[night obsidian]

And turn on the AC while playing, and I only play for 1 hour per day soooo I think HDD can work

[silent matrix]

with computers its like this, if laptop dont spend monney in upgrades, even an good one. And desktops if the generation its kinda pass, also the same. Always better save and get and good and new one someday..

[night obsidian]

I wish I went to the US, I jeared their SSDs and HDDs are very cheap there

[molten hamlet]

The ASE code base is shit. It does not seem to matter,(much) what yer personal hardware is. I only saw a slight improvement and only with video quality when i went from an old i7/745 to an i9/4080

[tough thistle]

If I were to delete ark and reinstall it would My game saves still.be there?

[night obsidian]

I play on a laptop, deep fried

[night obsidian]

Nooooo

[neon kettle]

When does the next community crunch release?

[vernal garnet]

@night obsidian I'm not sure anyone even buys HDDs anymore. But yeah. SSDs and NVMEs are pretty cheap.

[tough thistle]

Wth

[night obsidian]

Biggest mistake of my life

[tough thistle]

Even if it doesn't save I could still play the game without it freezing every 2 seconds.

[night obsidian]

They can give all of it to me

[tough thistle]

And plus in the game I have saved files

[silent matrix]

i got 2 SAMSUNG M.2 980 Pro of 1TB for around 200€ at like 1 year ago for 2 machines, cuz with hight volume of disks its always risky no matter what, more space you have more things you will lose xd

i builded an pc in the wrong time, things has way more expencive then now, but most of had use, even they say its new 😑

[night obsidian]

Be very careful to never drop them, treat HDDs like your own child. Take care of them and dress them in their protection cases

I'm very careful with handling my HDDs, I store them in my closet covered with a bunch of cloth 😂

[dreamy linden]

what's wrong with storing them inside your pc?

[night obsidian]

I don't have a pc

[dreamy linden]

touche`

[silent matrix]

thats an bad place, imagine forget about it and let them drop 😂

[night obsidian]

Only a laptop

[vernal garnet]

I'm upgrading my PC. It's more like a rebuild but I'm keeping the GPU. Giving away everything else. RYZEN 5 3600X, ASROCK 570 PRO4, 32 GB of G.Skills DDR4-3200 and a Deepcool Matrexx 70 case.

[night obsidian]

Never😂

[vernal garnet]

I never sell old stuff. Can't be bothered. I'll just give it to someone.

[night obsidian]

Can I get sum HDDs that you don't want anymore?

[silent matrix]

i just never got any ryzen cuz they heat alot more than intels, and they chill

[night obsidian]

Really?

Do they have other benefits?

[vernal garnet]

Intel is just garbage now.

And RYzen's overheating is old news. It's been addressed. Mine has never overheated once and I play/stream/record/render at the same time regularly.

[night obsidian]

I don't really know, I only had 3 laptops in my entire life. 1 windows vista, one 950 gpu, and one 3050 rtx that I use now

[vernal garnet]

@night obsidian Shipping would probably cost more than you just buying one 🙂

[night obsidian]

Oh damn, even more expensive if it's overseas

[vernal garnet]

@night obsidian You can only run on medium with a 3050? That doesn't seem right.

[night obsidian]

I only run at medium because I don't wanna abuse my laptop

[vernal garnet]

@night obsidian Abuse it. How else will it learn how to act right?

[safe elk]

is 2060 super can handle the game ?

[night obsidian]

Yep it can handle ase but not sure about asa

[vernal garnet]

@safe elk I used a 2070 Super until last year and had no problem at Ultra. But I don't know with ASA.

[silent matrix]

i personaly will always go for intel and nvidia, my current CPU dont get even close of 70º playing ARK in ultra, saying its trash its just rude and make you look dumb*

[night obsidian]

Deep fried gaming, I reach 90

[vernal garnet]

PS5 and Xbox essentially run a poor man's 2070, so I would assume that ASA will run just fine with a 2060

[safe elk]

i mean my card super2060 run mw3 beta with over 100fps i dont know if it is the same case

[vernal garnet]

@silent matrix Mine stays at a steady 65 degrees and always has. I do have a stock CPU fan, but I'm not sure how much it affects anything.

[silent matrix]

oh yeah laptops have no way of not been CPU at 90s XD

[night obsidian]

That's why I stay at medium, don't wanna melt it lmao

[silent matrix]

even more now with an RTX on them, just makes them burn all time 😂

[night obsidian]

I Turn on the AC everytime I play or do physics simulations 😬

[vernal garnet]

Yep laptops depend on heat sinks. My god, I hate working on laptops. PLease sir, remove these 32 tiny screws (all different sizes) to replace that USB port. Did you bring your soldering iron?

[silent matrix]

ARK its always been weavy cuz not well done, RTX 30s cant get more tham 70 FPS in 1080p ultra 😅

[night obsidian]

I don't wanna try ultra, it feels like I can burn my hand when I touch near the rtx or cpu

[errant cloak]

hope my rtx4080 can handle asa at 60fps at 1440p

[night obsidian]

If it can't, let me borrow it for a while

[vernal garnet]

525,600 Minutes to go folks!

[silent matrix]

i have an Gigabyte G5, it basacly cant stay up without been in charge, RTX drowns the barery has nothing 😂

[vernal garnet]

I live in the South. That's blasphemy! @crude remnant

[night obsidian]

How much is your spendings on the tower only wothout the monitor? And what's your pc specs?

[silent matrix]

idk the prices it is right now, but the ammount i spend in the hardware i have, you get way more better right now, its a life thing 🙃

[night obsidian]

Ye but at least you can still run asa

[tough yarrow]

Can probably move it to #general, leave this channel for actual ingame content

[silent matrix]

its empty 😂

[tough yarrow]

It's not. Move it to #general please. Thanks.

[errant cloak]

i dont think anyone knows the requirement specs for ASA yet

[tough yarrow]

We don't, but the pc conversation can continue in #general

[hot quartz]

Scorched was peak of ARK. Everything declined after.

[silent matrix]

my fav playtime map

[hallow field]

They're really letting it go more than a day without...nvm...

[silent matrix]

hope we still can breed mantis and wyverns in ASA, has no sense if dont..

[night obsidian]

I've never tamed a wyvern

[vernal garnet]

Later folks. Congenial conversations are apparently persona non grata. I'm annoyed and will see myself out.

[night obsidian]

Getting milk sounds stressful

[silent matrix]

rhyina its kinda worst has i see 😅

[night obsidian]

I'm sorry young wyvern your dad will just go out to get some milk

[silent matrix]

counthing you dont get an wyvern alpha follow you 😂

[night obsidian]

Never comes back*

[tough yarrow]

Only one, alpha fire wyvern

[night obsidian]

I don't even know anything about those

[silent matrix]

if you strong its an better way of get more milk

[night obsidian]

Now that I think about it I don't even know how to tame all the dinos present in the island

[silent matrix]

if not, just run XD

[night obsidian]

My best tame on the island was probably the oil whale

Free energy

[silent matrix]

that take us from have rafts builded, they take the same dmg anyway.... hope it has changed

[night obsidian]

And they can swim?!?!

Too op

[night obsidian]

What's the mobbydick fish thing called again that destroys rafts?

[pine axle]

The6 can't

Aye haha

[silent matrix]

Leedsichthys?

[night obsidian]

Ye that, I remember I played with a friend that has fear with the ocean and that attacked us while we were on a raff

[silent matrix]

the bad* part of it is that no mater if you build and protect the raft, the whale will broke it in the same hits like it didnt had nothing, so you can lose whats builded and on it..

[night obsidian]

It only attacks the raft

I tried getting near it while on a croc and it didn't attack me

[silent matrix]

so atm theres no sence in let us build in rafts

[night obsidian]

That's why I'm waiting for the new water base dino

The submersible

I hope they add the waves, even minecraft have a mod that makes realistic ocean waves

[silent matrix]

it is kinda bad in ASE, it dont alow us to freedom build on it, its very limited, if big sea creature you cant have them realy protectecd..

[night obsidian]

Ocean platforms exists right?

[void dove]

We don't know for certain

[fallow sand]

I just want to see the pc recommend specs please wildcard

[silent matrix]

yeah has talking about that, it gives alot water but it dont at same time, tusos or mosas are way big and the construstion dont alot us make something ready work

[night obsidian]

Hmmm yeah, a megalodon swarm could kill them

[silent matrix]

ASE has some kinda, ASA will for sure have it more detached

[silent matrix]

the island have alpha megalodon and mosa so yeah they mostly dead in most cases

[night obsidian]

For the island, I built a stone behemoth gate wall using a bunch of stone behemoth gates for the water dudes. It's quite big but then again I've never tamed a mosa so I'm not really sure about their size.

[unique widget]

Whoever created the dododex app if your in here thanks so much 🙏 it’s a huge help

[night obsidian]

It's such a blessing, specially for newbs like me 🙏

[unique widget]

Same here haha 😂

[void dove]

There are no waves in ASE. All the water is flat

[silent matrix]

i think you played pixark? ASE have no wave system but its not visualy "flat" 😂

[plain horizon]

So it’s limited building number?

Jesus

[night obsidian]

Get ready community crunch in 1 min

[unique widget]

Really

[silent matrix]

so its not flat them 🙃

[unique widget]

i thought the crunch is on Fridays at 7

[tough yarrow]

They are yes

[stiff summit]

Usually

[unique widget]

Cool thanks looking forward to it

[void dove]

Awk.
All the water boxes are static. They don't move. There is no vertical or horizontal motion (aside some visual ripples)

[unique widget]

every minute guys is another minute closer to Asa release

[silent matrix]

yeah i know that but dont tell me the water its visualy flat 🙃

[fiery sparrow]

Is there a date for the trailer yet ?

[silent matrix]

lets say that ASA will might have an water improved of Atlas, the ony thing they done cool XD

[hot quartz]

My guess is that they would have waves in ASA, but I don't expect anything crazy like tall ocean waves.

Fluidninja has been called out specifically and its a fanastic tool for making physical waves, but it also requires you to intentionally make those waves, otherwise it stays pretty flat until interacted with.

[stiff summit]

No

[void dove]

But mechanically, the water boxes are flat planes

[fiery sparrow]

damn

[night obsidian]

I'm so excited for that realistic scary wave

[hot quartz]

They wont announce it. Itll just drop when it drops.

[night obsidian]

I hope it's like atlast waves

[red wigeon]

I've heard a lot of people thinking the trailer comes out tomorrow

[silent matrix]

then you see an megalodon head coming out 😂

[night obsidian]

But scarrier when there's a storm

[night obsidian]

Sharknado when there's a tornado

[hot quartz]

Definitely expected. They wouldn't add fluidninja if they didn't intend to use it.

"Advanced graphics features such as dynamic water (Custom FluidNinja integration)" (Source: CC 381)

There are a handful of demos on youtube of what it can do.

We don't need anything, but I hope it is haha

I hope they really take advantage of Fluidninja's physics.

[frosty wave]

Let's hope there is not a lot lag on offical servers. That would be nice

[balmy ridge]

Anyone know when Twitchcon starts?

[frosty wave]

Twitchcon starts 20th

[balmy ridge]

@frosty wave what time haha

[hot quartz]

Unreal engine 5 doesn't magically get rid of lag.

Lag is caused by netcode issues. I would expect netcode to not be perfect at launch.

[frosty wave]

12pm it starts

[silent matrix]

that will be always an thing, if you play singleplayer you dont have the "hight pings/ lag" of playing in servers

[hot quartz]

Also, bases don't cause "lag", they cause performance drops on the client side. People often mistakenly call fps drops "lag".

No it doesnt lol. I work with it every day m8.

If my netcode sucks, it will still lag.

Unreal Engine 5 does help with having a more optimized client experience, which improves framerates for equal rendering output. It doesn't magically fix netcode.

I don't think you know what lag means. You seem to be conflating "lag" with "frame drops".

[frosty wave]

Ark is magical

[night obsidian]

UE5 is a magical creature that can suck your lag away

[neon kettle]

When does the community crunch release?

[frosty wave]

Friday

[night obsidian]

Maybe 3 more hours

[analog furnace]

[unique widget]

Friday at 7 pm

[night obsidian]

I saw a pattern, it's always near 4:00 am on my area

[neon kettle]

Thank you

[frosty wave]

7pm central time America

[analog furnace]

Leaks fr lol

[night obsidian]

Loaded is about to squeeze more content again

[silent matrix]

yeah XD, basacly once we depend of host service, by the confection and the dataflow, it will always be an thing, it can helps in some way sure

[hot quartz]

Tbh people havent talked about it much, but I think directional movement is one of the most exciting features. If its what it sounds like.

[grim solstice]

skiff

[silent matrix]

singleplayer will be great even with bigger bases

[frosty wave]

We won't get the skiff in a long time

[grim solstice]

"political systems" lol, whats this even from

[frosty wave]

I want to see new weapons, and more tranq options

[marsh raven]

[latent anvil]

Someone explain advanced ai behavior

[analog furnace]

they deleting it

[grim solstice]

improved ai

[void dove]

Nort just spittin' buzzwords 😂

[marsh raven]

They are smarter

[latent anvil]

What’s gonna happen with everyone on the same movement speed? I can’t outrun a raptor?

[marsh raven]

Stinky

[tough yarrow]

Stop posting text walls. All ASA information can be found in #announcements.

[unique widget]

No problem

[grim solstice]

tame something faster than raptor or make bola

[frosty wave]

Advanced ai behavior like the dinos won't run off cliffs after you. They will know there is ledges

[unique widget]

What is text walls ?

[void dove]

Know there are ledges, jump anyway 😂

[fading nacelle]

in ark? ai is how the dinos move and find their way to things, advanced will just be that their way to pathfind things and agro thing will be "smarter"

[analog furnace]

Honest those were all ideas an ai came up with, sorry wildcard ik now that there was some things listed u dnt want us to know haha

[neon kettle]

Is the new AI system actually gonna use sense of smell or nah?I know thats what they're gonna do for ark 2, but for ASA?

[tough yarrow]

AI is not and never will be any confirmation from WC about their games

[latent anvil]

Sense of smell is crazy. I hope that’s a joke

[silent matrix]

There any news ?

[silent matrix]

most of them has swpaning into the rocks and tree, that its another problem XD

[neon kettle]

Well they said it about ark 2, im also quite confused about how they are gonna make that

[tough yarrow]

Large amounts of text from one user that takes up half the screen.

[fading nacelle]

lol how ai supposed to know that stuff, unless wc asked ai for update ideas u wont get anything valuable from that

[neon kettle]

Do you think the AI is just gonna have improved pathfinding or a new feature added like hearing?

[unique topaz]

@neon kettle

ASA Info

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

• Community Crunch 381

Last updated: 2023-09-30

[latent anvil]

Anyone else give in and just buy a PS5?

[stiff summit]

no.

[fading nacelle]

i think most of tyhe ai will be the same but just smarter, after all the main thing is that its just a ase remaster

[unique widget]

Oh okay yeah that’s not cool

[silent matrix]

if they smarter you cant run from them 🙃

[grim solstice]

yeah like avoiding rocks

[silent matrix]

Wait there's a community crunch tomorrow ?

[stiff summit]

There should be

[grim solstice]

yes

[fading nacelle]

unless u are even smarter, after all they are pretty primitive beings

[latent anvil]

They need duo and trio servers. 3 max tribe members, ditch all this alpha tribe stuff

[silent matrix]

imagine at start we try to run to the whater for dont get killed and they keep there whaithing us 😂

[silent matrix]

What time

[fading nacelle]

would be fun to learn some new dino ditching methods lol

[frail mesa]

When does asa come out?

[fading nacelle]

it would also be fun to see wc implement a progressive learning ai, the dinos will learn from players behaviour and act different because of this. Probs not gunna happen do since its a pretty heavy and complicated system

[fading nacelle]

end october probs

but things can change

[frail mesa]

its middle october and nothing is realeased💀

[silent matrix]

This month

they have diferent ways even in ASE*, depend what creature, some let you go faster than others, some keep swiming longer for hit you

[analog furnace]

WC hire me 😉

[ivory lagoon]

They said form the start towards the end of October

[frail mesa]

Not even a trailer#

[silent matrix]

Its allegedly coming on the 30th or on Halloween night

[ivory lagoon]

Trailer maybe tomorrow

[stiff summit]

Doubt it

[frail mesa]

ok

[silent matrix]

It might be tmmr cuz there's a crunch tmr

[ivory lagoon]

Seems like it’s a good timing

[fading nacelle]

But not exploit proof im guessing, u have to somehow make sure the ai doesnt learn from fake behaviour from players, i can see the players try to make the ai "dumb' if it learns from players

[ivory lagoon]

Plus the twitchcon I believe

[stiff summit]

They'll release the trailer a week before release at best. Like 23rd or 24th

[silent matrix]

i already sayd to me that 31th it will be here, of not 💀

[verbal spear]

the ankylo the best and fast fish lol

[unique widget]

What does end of October mean lol 😂 😏

[silent matrix]

Either way ASA is comin on 30 th or on Halloween night

[ivory badge]

Bolo your tribe mate always works 😁

[stiff summit]

You can figure it out

[ivory lagoon]

4th week or October I would assume

[silent matrix]

Halloween night

[unique widget]

lol 😂

[hollow maple]

That's my guess too

[silent matrix]

Its apparently releasing on Halloween night

[ivory lagoon]

Ye but like who gonna be playing on Halloween

[grim solstice]

noone said that

[hollow maple]

This guy, depending on launch issues.

[ivory lagoon]

Just speculation tho

[silent matrix]

It would be awesome for it to release on Halloween night

[silent matrix]

apparently

[stiff summit]

Oh yeah let's get it at the very last day of October. How awesome!

[ivory lagoon]

It’s still within the time parameters they said

So

[silent matrix]

nah no night, cant sleep if let the pc downloading the game 😂

[cinder vapor]

Is it tomorrow yet? 😉

[silent matrix]

Apparently they have some kind of contract and they have to release it in october

[fading nacelle]

what about a wc dev just pms me the download right know, ill totally wont do anything with it

[analog furnace]

Dynamic Ecosystem Impact on Gameplay....

Congrats

[fading nacelle]

[hollow maple]

Moschops MVP

[frosty wave]

12pm it starts, I looked it up

[stiff summit]

[silent matrix]

Man am sad i wont play ASA :[

[fading nacelle]

why u no play?

[frosty wave]

Why?

[stiff summit]

Why

[silent matrix]

No graphic card :[

[ivory lagoon]

F

[fading nacelle]

oof, im afraid for mine, i hope my gtx 1650 wont go up in flames

[frosty wave]

Lol

Play on ultra low settings

[fading nacelle]

probs

[silent matrix]

I would like too
But i have no money and i'll have to wait till christmas

[silent matrix]

I'am questioning if i stil should buy it on launch day just to see

[frosty wave]

4 spares?

[fading nacelle]

bro how

da hell

[silent matrix]

already burned? 😂 😂 (mined)

We prolly dont live in da same country
|| and yes ik u were joking i aint dum||

[fading nacelle]

then u gonna have a power issue

[silent matrix]

So do u think i still should buy the game on launch day or nah ?

[fading nacelle]

cus them 3090s eat power, so u better have a portable power plant

[silent matrix]

U dont think its worth

[frosty wave]

Gas generator to run the pc? Lol

[silent matrix]

sooner they plug into the wall, everything its getting smaller, Graphic Card dont 😂

[grim solstice]

how u gon run the game lol

[silent matrix]

I dont rlly give two shits bout bugs

40s its a size of an console 🙃

[frosty wave]

Bugs or not, I'm going to play on xbox

[silent matrix]

But do u think i still should test it out or is it not worth trying
Cause i wanna see how much it doesnt run or if i can maybe run it on low

[last jewel]

have to delete all ur games first

[amber cedar]

I thought I was already not allowed to build in caves.
Does that mean I can finally build platforms over the instakill stalagmite pits?

[silent matrix]

i count in ASA been the same weavy has ASE honestly

[last jewel]

i wish they told us the requirements for ark ascended

[fading nacelle]

ah im just gonna try with my 1650, otherwise i might just buy a 4060ti cus it would be time to upgrade no matter what

[silent matrix]

Fuck am dumb

[last jewel]

is 3060 good enough?

[grim solstice]

imagine if everything drops tomorrow 😮

[silent matrix]

Wtf 💀

[silent matrix]

the rest will handle it?

[grim solstice]

not that much

[last jewel]

that would solve everything

[fading nacelle]

i think so, i upgraded motherboard.cpu and ram like 1 and a half year ago. its a i5 11400f, 16gb 3200 mhz ram

[last jewel]

i want to play on max graphics just gott hope my 3060 can hold it

cause im pve

[silent matrix]

So u think there's a slight chance i could run it or nah
|| i myself doubt i can but i still have sum hope||

[fading nacelle]

idk ab max but u will be fine playing on very nice graphics

[unique widget]

Guys will I be able to run it on my windows 98

[last jewel]

i wouldnt mind playing on 60fps

[silent matrix]

i at least fo to that would need to change my powersupply, i dont like that external plugs, it has to have them already into the powersupply for safety, but has i builded my pc at 1 year and the prices has so expencive i cant upgrade anything atm

Well i still have sum shred of hope to run it

[last jewel]

ninja fluid thingy is gonna be awful for my pc

[fallow sand]

1440 p with a 6750 xt????

[silent matrix]

I have 810 gb

[last jewel]

im gonna have to say bye to half my games 😂

[silent matrix]

So i think i should be good

[analog furnace]

Dynamic Aging and Lifecycle for Creatures....

[grim solstice]

jeez

[fading nacelle]

i hope not, i already freed up alot of space and have 500 gb available

[silent matrix]

I aint even joking when i say
Out of the whole discord the only ppl who had a shred of belief that i could maybe run the game is u and another guy

[last jewel]

ill have to dedicate my pc to ark and laptop to rest of the games

[analog furnace]

Advanced Creature Engram System

[last jewel]

i believe

[grim solstice]

seriously?

[last jewel]

340gb on steam

[silent matrix]

What now

[silent matrix]

looking at mine, it runs ASE at less then 70 FPS all in ultra at 1080p, RTX 3060 ti, so i assume ASA might be around that

[silent matrix]

Thank u :]

[grim solstice]

yoo same gpu brothers

[last jewel]

without dlc just mods is 340gb on steam💀

[analog furnace]

Dynamic Lycanthropy and Vampirism....Whatever that means

[silent matrix]

so we count that ASE its weavy and ASA will take around the same, if not theres no way people will play it XD
