[tribal vault]

No, but if you have shit read/write speed it'll slow it down quite a bit.

[gaunt sundial]

The internet speed is the bottleneck

[fickle forge]

my steam when i download stuff on it it will go like 20 minutes without downloading a single bit of data

[gaunt sundial]

Yea course. But the internet speed is the bottleneck at the end if the day. If you get. 1 gb download. Then yea, your computer needs to be solid enough to keep up. Butttt if you're internet is giving you 1 mb. Well. The computer can't do more then that 😂

[tribal vault]

ye

[tribal vault]

Get an M.2

[gaunt sundial]

Thats also a steam problem. I've got an above average pc, and probably above average internet. But man. Steam is terrible for downloads. Always has been.

[stray nacelle]

ark

[fickle forge]

i have

i have a crucial ssd i have up to 5000 read and write speed somewhere around that

[primal sequoia]

@viral shore @peak finch @tall minnow @heavy cedar one day closer hype dance with me

[timber venture]

soooo when does community crunch come out today? think we will hear an update?

[ivory lagoon]

In like 12 hours I think

[elder portal]

About 8 hrs

[timber venture]

kk ty1

[silver mason]

Has WC mentioned anything about mouse and keyboard support on console?

[trim lintel]

Bonjours je cherche des gens pour découvrir le jeu principalement sur les maps Genesis ou scorched earth, me mp

[stone rock]

Is anyone else excited for ASA Extinction?

[brave trench]

Me

[dense minnow]

I honestly think In dossier and probably screenshot

[lilac yacht]

Go watch jade pgs vids talks about how there is challenges to tame dinos etc at twitchcon

[stone rock]

Based

[glacial ermine]

hi

[modest matrix]

Yea but I am more hyped for abb in UR5

[glacial ermine]

im hype for the entire game

[modest matrix]

That’s a point.

[stone rock]

Eh, abb was never really my favorite

Also the fact that playing on non-dedicated is hell in abb

[modest matrix]

Yea to play but the blue zone in ur5 holy

[modest matrix]

We hope it is fixt as soon as ab is out.

[stone rock]

I hope they fix it when the game is released

Tired of flying miles away just to get thrown back when i walk into a cave 😭

[unique widget]

Good morning ☀️ ark fam

so tired of playing Roblox I need ark to come out soon lol

[stone rock]

I dunno, roblox can be 🔥

But the need for ASA is strong...

[unique widget]

Haha exactly

[glacial ermine]

we got about 1 more week to go until release so hopefully we see a trailer for it today

[unique widget]

Yess @glacial ermine 🔥

[glacial ermine]

even if its just a trailer of the island map i'll take it at this point i just wanna see something other then pictures

[fading nacelle]

im praying they will also share some requirements soon, my gpu is gonna burn props so might ened to cop a new one

[stone rock]

Im hoping the trailer lives up to the expectations

[stone rock]

I have a feeling the steam page will be up before the game is released

[fading nacelle]

yea but even if they do its gonna be really close before launch

but hey it would be a nice excuse to cop one of them 40s series, would be a nice change from my 1650

[unique widget]

All we have right now is hope lol Thats why I’ve been waking up every day since 1997 waiting for this Asa release

[fading nacelle]

my man was born to play asa

[stone rock]

Ive got a 2060, I wanna see if it's enough

[fading nacelle]

probs enough to play on low-medium settings

[stone rock]

Yeah maybe...

I at least hope they dont look terrible 😭 Medium-high was fine with ASE

[unique widget]

Exactly it’s my destiny

[fading nacelle]

then dont talk to em

probs

have played pvp, but it would be a insult to pvp to call me a pvp player

[glacial ermine]

i also hope they show off ark merch today

[wanton sand]

Personally, I don't enjoy PVP. I'm more of PVE.

[fading nacelle]

oh i love pvp, just started playing ark to late to learn it properly and no one wanted to teach sum random beach bob

[stone rock]

Pve is way more fun tbh. I'm more for a chill play time

[tough yarrow]

Anywho

[fading nacelle]

lol

[stone rock]

Plus, why would I pvp when I only play with like, a small group of friends :P

[wanton sand]

One thing is for certain, Raptors are gonna be a pain till I can bola them in ASA.

[fading nacelle]

i loved the time i played pvp, it was very short. But the community was horrible, i found a few peeps who where nice nough to take me and teach me but they ragequit after we got raided

[wanton sand]

Oof.

[stone rock]

I 💚 raptors

[fading nacelle]

raptors do be nice early game

[wanton sand]

I have a love hate feeling for Raptors. Good early tames, but so damn vicious when they come after you.

[stone rock]

I always keep my first raptor inside the house 😭 I name her Sugar

[fading nacelle]

yep, luckily bolas are quite easy to unlock

[wanton sand]

But the aberrant Raptors I absolutely HATE!

It's one of the reasons why I personally don't enjoy Aberration. The raptors and the Nameless.

[stone rock]

Then she never gets ridden again (only occasionally) and becomes a house pet 😌

[wanton sand]

When I had my favorite blood wyvern, I was so protective of it.

If anything even came close to hitting it, I'd be full Terminator and just destroy anything I saw.

[stone rock]

This so true, anytime I tame or hatch a dino I'm always so protective 😭

Especially my raptor, Rex, allosaurus, basically any carnivore I'm super caring

[wanton sand]

I was VERY protective of raising a baby Giga.

[fading nacelle]

this is me until i get ti breeding them, its unlimited supply at that point so doesnt matter to much

[wanton sand]

Like super protective. I would literally go on super long meat runs and just kill everything I saw.

I would even make a spot for the Giga and just stand there guarding it.

[stone rock]

I never do big breeding stuff... Feels wrong to me

[cedar hamlet]

When does the community crunch come out?

[wanton sand]

[fading nacelle]

i do it with boss dinos and flyers(maewings) cus i tend to lose those a lot

[cerulean ridge]

Will rates be boosted on release cus it’s close to Halloween?

[wanton sand]

Idk.

[stone rock]

My friend and I would always use gun mods, so we'd always just go into boss fights with us two, upgraded guns, and a lotta ammo lol

The dinos are big cuties that stay home 😊

[wanton sand]

I can't wait to see how the spooder boss will look in ASA.

[native talon]

Bro if we actually had that happen to us in Asa I would never do any boss fights dawg

[unique widget]

Today at 7 pm

[stone rock]

I can't wait to have my raptor, Sugar 😁 lol

[native talon]

What time

[stone rock]

Had what happen

[bleak wadi]

Ikr

[native talon]

If u don’t call ur first raptor clever girl, u are committing a crime.

[native talon]

If the spider boss is creepy

If the spider being creepy happens to us

[stone rock]

Her name is Sugar no matter what for me 😤

[wanton sand]

It will be fun mutating the megatheriums to fight her too. But I will still hate the Dragon fight.

[cedar hamlet]

k thx

[unique widget]

No problem

[stone rock]

Oh good, that's right before I get off work! :D

[spare gyro]

My first bronto is always called little foot 🥺

[stone rock]

Everyone has a special name they give their first of a certain dino ✊😔

[lapis iris]

help me map went weird

theres some weird new islands at the edges

[stone rock]

???

[lapis iris]

i posted it in #fanart-and-screenshots

and if theres a way to keep the art style can i

[stone rock]

Uh

You can't just, change the map

It is what it is, I dunno what to tell ya

[lapis iris]

but i wanna remove the islands

[fading nacelle]

u playin mods?

[lapis iris]

lemme check which ones i have

[stone rock]

I'm confused. You want to remove the islands from just the map or?

[lapis iris]

OHH

[timber venture]

every 1st argy has silver wings and is named sephiroth...... final of mutation line and full colors done is black and red named bloodwing. every time lol

[lapis iris]

its the island extension mod

[stone rock]

:/

[barren patrol]

First raptor: Riptide or Ripcord depending on gender. First Argy Hawkeye or Nighthawk depending on gender. First Thyla named after one of my kitties, Toby or Tabby depending on gender. And IF I happen to tame a Dilo for whatever reason, it's always Sir/Lady Spits Alot. Other first tames have names I usually give them too.

[subtle blaze]

it would be cool if there was sparkles every time you hit a rock with a pickaxe

[bleak wadi]

Bruh what?

[stone rock]

Bro is just feeling a little zesty today

[bleak wadi]

Ya think

[lean lily]

anyone else ready for another disappointing community crunch less than 2 weeks before the game is supposed to launch? 🙂

[bleak wadi]

I kinda quit until asa

[stone rock]

First raptor is Sugar, first dilo is Emma 💪

No no, first dilo is Ella

[short otter]

Yessirebob

[lean lily]

i for one cant fucking wait to be disapointed again

[barren patrol]

I like taming a Dilo or two early on to keep pegos at bay

[short otter]

They finna show either more screenshots of Asa or fucking previous concepts n shit

But idc
I ain't buying Asa day 1

[lean lily]

sadly i am

[short otter]

This discord will be on flames the day Asa releases

5 minute cooldowns n shit

It's gonna be funny ash

[dry quarry]

yeah cuz all serves capped and nobody can play

[stone rock]

I have a friend that owes me, so he's buying me ASA day one lol

[tardy coyote]

Someone said wildcard will attend Twitchcon Oct 20-22

[abstract silo]

So who thinks we'll get the trailer today?

[bitter plank]

me

when is twitchcon

[stone rock]

Im hopeful, but i kinda doubt it

[rustic sentinel]

Are there going to be new mechanics in ASA or is it basically ASE reskinned in UE5?

[ivory lagoon]

I think some new

[bitter plank]

i need trailer

[ivory lagoon]

But no idea

[tranquil pilot]

Anyone know when thwy will be stteaming ?

[chrome wagon]

8pm

[tranquil pilot]

Oh damn, that will be late asf for me

[bitter plank]

witch zone

[tranquil pilot]

8pm est

Since its in vegas this year, i think

[bitter plank]

2 am in germany

[tranquil pilot]

XD 1am for me

[abstract silo]

I mean it is finished so hopefully today 🤞

[fading nacelle]

few new mechanics, dino ai is smarter, baby dinos can spawn in the wild and i believe they said a few more things

there was 1 community crunch that told alot of these things, idk which one

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

that one

[lofty tendon]

There will be

[valid jacinth]

Where will they be streaming?

[tranquil pilot]

Why dont they just google it or look

[tranquil pilot]

8pm est

[lofty tendon]

Baby Dinos will spawn in the wild and to tame them you have to kill the parents (this is an example)

[rustic sentinel]

Nice. All maps are included in the $40 we are paying, or we have to buy the maps again?

[fading nacelle]

all of em

[lofty tendon]

Everything is included EVERYTHING

[fiery sparrow]

Is that confirmed or a quess?

[rustic sentinel]

Thanks guys, appreciate the info!

[fading nacelle]

and i believe they also wanted to a new dlc, but im guessing that one is paid

[lofty tendon]

There is going to be a new story DLC yes

But idk if it’s included or not

[hollow maple]

Wait there's a new story dlc? How did I miss that?

[rustic sentinel]

Yea, I would suspect they are going to have something for a cash infusion

[fading nacelle]

not yet, they will do one, probs after they released all the other maps on asa

[tranquil pilot]

@lofty tendon confirmed

[lofty tendon]

:0

[fiery sparrow]

damn

[valid jacinth]

im new to this, they are streaming at twitchcon? how do you know its at 8? im looking or something online but cant find anything on ascended

[kind depot]

Im praying for something like aberration again

Such a special map. We dont need ninety billion biomes. Sometimes a very immersive setting can be more than enough

[still cipher]

TRAILER !!! I NEED IT ! 😄

[kind depot]

Just imagine some kind of winter wasteland map with tons of urban ruins that you can enter everywhere and some kind of underground warm biome for early game. Stuff like that makes ark so cool. Aberration had that kind of stuff too where you could only progress the map further if you really were ready for it

Im stoked for the maps we will get with asa. From ark devs themselves and from mod makers. The golden age of maps is coming boyos

[fading nacelle]

i mean a snow map would be cool, just a lot of mountains, tundra, taiga and snow. We got a full dessert map so its not like it doesnt fit

[dreamy linden]

Is there still the posibility to get twins/trips from the egg incubator, or do you strip that chance away when using the incubator?

[still cipher]

Abberration is by far my most favorite map BUT i dont like that 1/3rd or more of the map you just cant build 😄 the red part and the outside is just not good for us survivors... Thats sad.
Would be awesome if the green and blue part would be WAY bigger in ASA... 😄

[kind depot]

Exactly. And the devs have learned so much with the past dlcs. They could make such nice content now

[kind depot]

Agreed!

[still cipher]

Should be possible i think O.o

[kind depot]

This! And then add lots of urban ruins to make it kind of like dayz! You would go into the buildings to warm up and just see another tribe of survivors chillin in there lmao

I liked how your biggest enemy early game were the elements in scorched earth. Id love to have something like that again

[fading nacelle]

yeah, or just massive caves with a bit more moderate temperature where u can find dinos and plants that cant survive the cold

[still cipher]

naaaa ... we arent in a "apocalypse scenario" ... 😄 please not wasteland style with cars and something like that. Buildings ... okay. But nothing like streets, cars, busses, trains or something like that please ^^

[kind depot]

Also a great idea! Would be cool for pvp. Having like big noodely cave systems that allow you to traverse the map undetected

[kind depot]

Just buildings! Scorched earth had them too! Remember the ruins? Though they didnt serve much of a purpose

[still cipher]

i think there are many possibilities for the whole ark team in the future with the new DLC packs.
Bigger maps, more immersion, better weather, and so on ! That would just be very sick

[kind depot]

i think they were good against sand storms though

[fading nacelle]

welp we gotta wait to find out what the dlc will be, they arent gonna be done with the asa maps till like end next year i believe so the dlcs is probs gonne be even longer then that

[still cipher]

I remember the "useless" ruins like the colosseum 😄

[still cipher]

We have to explore the "old" maps - so the waiting time will be shorter than you think 😉

[kind depot]

Well none of their dlcs were bad imo. I mean genesis part one was kinda wack because of the limitations of the areas but still kinda cool

[fading nacelle]

thats also true

[still cipher]

Gen1 was not only wack... it was terrible xD

[tranquil pilot]

Its at 8pm est, their twitch is survivetheark

[kind depot]

It makes me a bit sad how they went away from making unique maps like aberration and scorched earth and just made maps that mixed everything in like lots of mod makers do

[still cipher]

A terrible decision with the "non building areas" the "non space suit rule" and and and. The splitted world - teleport only. the "newbie area" with bugs bugs everywhere... "you are hunted by a swarm.." i still dream of it 😄

[kind depot]

The ship from gen 2 was cool but didnt quite feel "new"

[still cipher]

BUT ... the magma and the little spider are GREAT creatures lul

[kind depot]

Lmao yeah the splits were annoying

[still cipher]

Gen1 is i think my map with the lowest playtime. and right behind gen1 is "the center" the most buggy mess ive ever seen AND i will still hate it in ASA 😄

[kind depot]

Guys the redwoods are gonna be so orgasmic in asa im tellin you

did you guys see the "Faith" mod that was abandoned? Its like a revamp of the island

not quite complete but it looked so good! I imagine that this is how asas the island is gonna look, but better

[still cipher]

it will look much better, but they didnt do a full rework. just little bit cave rework they said

But just because UE5 the game will be and look MUCH better 😄

[kind depot]

yeah that definitely

[still cipher]

im so excited ! 😄

Do any1 know if every creature (currently) on island will be on asa's island on release? or will some of them "disappear"? 😄 Like carcha or rhyo?

[kind depot]

i think they are all gonna be there

[plain moth]

Is the carcha just like the step between rex and giga?

[fading nacelle]

i think so, personally i would like if they wait with that weird new flyer, it doesnt feel like the island to me with that thing around

[grim solstice]

every creature thats currently on the island you will get in ASA except tek creatures

[ivory lagoon]

I believe carchas are better than gigas

[plain moth]

I've never run into one I don't think or maybe I have and just thought it was a giga or rex

[languid perch]

guys i cant stop thinking about asa

[night seal]

Where tf is this CC?

[still cipher]

Arent carchas on the same level? giga deals quite more dmg but carchas have other good points like self healing 😄

[grim solstice]

speed

[still cipher]

I dont think "carchas are better than a giga" is correct 😄

[grim solstice]

isnt it better when you get the combo thing maxed out

[still cipher]

ya speedo, but not always! 😄

if the combo is on max - it will be better i think. lul.

BUT .. and this is my point : In my opp, carcha is looking WAY better than the neck breaking giga 😄

[mild lagoon]

Will the ASA trailer be released today?

[still cipher]

hopefully wildcard will give giga a TLC and take the EVO Giga from the paleo ark mod...

[still cipher]

nobody knows 🙂

[plain moth]

I have a deep personal vendetta against the therizinosaurus I hate them so much and I am going to rant about them now

[mild lagoon]

This rumor its going around in Facebook groups 😂

[still cipher]

you hate edward?! :< Thats sad

[low fox]

Any Ark creators going to twitchcon?

[plain moth]

It all started back on the island, first I thought nothing of them apart from them being quite ugly, Then as I got close it murdered me in seconds without any second thoughts

[still cipher]

ya, trolls in this discord also saying it will come today in the cc OR 27.october is the release... but thats Nothing Official !!!

[ivory lagoon]

Where can I watch the twitchcon

[low fox]

On twitch when it goes live

[ivory lagoon]

Do you know in how much time it goes live?

[mild lagoon]

Thanks a lot

[low fox]

No idea but they stream there

[ivory lagoon]

Ok ty

[plain moth]

THEN on an important rescue mission to the swamps I got brutally attacked and thrown down a mountain by two silly long fingered duck therizinosaurus

[vale dust]

Isn't there a community crunch today?

[ivory lagoon]

Supposedly

[still cipher]

later this day i think

[still cipher]

Nice. but they are not silly ... they are cuties

[plain moth]

Then later on my first quetzal test safari the moment I decided to touch the ground another two therizinosaurus showed up out of nowhere and jumped me

THEN when I attempted to tame one for myself it turns out they are harder to tame than I anticipated and it woke up

[mild lagoon]

The last ones are really bad

[cedar oracle]

Gotta be something good tonight

[plain moth]

And then there was fjordur, in which I saw one lurking around my little valley and as I decided to give the silly duck a second chance, he killed my pteradon as I was trying to knock it out and I sank loads of tranq darts into him and it just didn't go to sleep

So I am never touching those silly dinosaurs ever again

[still cipher]

You need it. You love it. It loves you too. So tame it in Asa ASAP! 😄

[grim solstice]

i mean theoretically nothing is stopping them from not announcing anything today either and they wait till the 27th and release the game on the 30th or something

[vale dust]

I remember trying to kite one with a PT and didn't realize they could kill you off your mount

[plain moth]

Their silly long fingers will dice you up no matter where you may be

[still cipher]

true. I think they will only say "hey, we are here, we are doing something. YOu still need to wait and here are some community pics" 😄

[grim solstice]

i hope we ATLEAST get another dino pic

[modern plume]

ITS OFFICIAL, whoever sends money to me will get early access CD KEY to ASA

[still cipher]

I dont think we will get the trailer several days before the release. maybe on the same day. and the steam downloadservers will be explode...

[still cipher]

stop it.:)

[plain moth]

Nuh uh

[jade wren]

We already know its going to be a shit show let's be real 🤦‍♀️

[modern plume]

hey guys on ASA island, what dino is new?

[still cipher]

No dino ^^

The rhyognatha was the "new" dino for island. on asa the island doesnt get a new one

[tough thistle]

What dragon type has the feathers and glides?

[grim solstice]

rockdrake?

[tough thistle]

Thx

[tardy coyote]

ue4 raise an error change into ue5

[modern plume]

i have not played ark for like a year, is the rhyognatha already released on the island? it seems OP

[still cipher]

yes its already released 🙂 its a quite nice flyer i think 😄

[jade wren]

Yea

[modern plume]

it can carry magmasaurs, LOOL

[still cipher]

But ... im only a stinky pve player. I hate pvp on ark (if i am the one whos playing) im more the breeder 😄

[still cipher]

and rexes 😄 and structures... 😄

[modern plume]

so i can steal a vault now?:d

[plain moth]

I really wanted one but my search on the island ended with disappointment and expired pheromone

[still cipher]

dont know if you can steal structures of an enemy tribe. 😄

[plain moth]

Is lost island easier to fine one?

[modern plume]

it says you tame it like a reaper, im a big fan of abb and i used to tame reapers all the time , do you have to lower the HP of it like you do on reapers and then get preggo?

[grim solstice]

you sacrifice your dino to get preggo

[modern plume]

and it does not matter what dino?

[still cipher]

isnt they are island only except with a mod? 😄 could be right, could be wrong

[modern plume]

where are they located? Redwood?

[plain moth]

I'm pretty sure they are also on lost

[plain moth]

Swamps and they are bloody rare

It's hellish trying to find two of the right gender

[modern plume]

s+ tek transmitter - find dino 😄

[hexed shore]

Asa floop? Trailer today?

[unique widget]

Is Asa real or is this all a dream

[modern plume]

can u breed them?

[fast sigil]

whats the good word people? do we have ASA release data?

[barren quartz]

Are all the servers crossplay? Or are there going to be some console only?

[ivory lagoon]

Not yet

[grim solstice]

no but maybe we get trailer and release date today idk

[plain moth]

Don't do that

[ivory lagoon]

Some are going to be console only

[sinful knot]

EVERYONE HATES ME

[unique widget]

Asa Is it a Man a myth or a legend we may never know

[barren quartz]

You sure?

[still cipher]

quite sure

[ivory lagoon]

Yes, they said it on the community crunch

[fading nacelle]

whas that guy that said someone paypaled him fr?

[ivory lagoon]

Na

[fading nacelle]

ah good

[still cipher]

i mean its wildcard. so they could say "no we dont do some console onlies" 😄

[fading nacelle]

cus that would be kinda messed up

[still cipher]

Dunno... i already reported him 😄

[barren quartz]

Right lmao. I mean I’d prefer to play wherever the mass majority play in PvP official. But the pc hacks are brutal lol

[fading nacelle]

well ig most people will realise he was joking but its still weird to say u have the download lol

[still cipher]

nobody knows which anticheat system asa will use. and i think the most annoying for us PC players are yours legal aimbot 😄 aka aimassist

[tough yarrow]

All good, can just move along. Mods are watching chat dw

[fading nacelle]

aight

[still cipher]

my (pve) server will be PC only because i just dont like crossplay and just dont want to support it LUL 😄 Console players with aim assists are annoying as fc 😄

[fading nacelle]

does it matter for pve?

[barren quartz]

I get it. But I mean like map hacks etc were wild on the pc for evolved.

[still cipher]

for me it matter ye. i just dont want to support crossplay.
i think crossplay is the worst decision ever made in gaming history.

[ivory lagoon]

But why you mention aim assist

[elfin escarp]

ASE has no aim assist at all on consoles. We dont know if ASA has one

[still cipher]

map hacks? you mean glitches? 😄

[ivory lagoon]

If it is a pve server

[fading nacelle]

i mean its up to you as server owner, but i think its nice it exist, on pvp it can be a lil tricky but for pve its rlly nice

[still cipher]

true... 😄 makes no sense lul

[unique widget]

🦤

[tardy estuary]

And any good news here?

[latent anvil]

The company hasn’t filed for bankruptcy

[tardy estuary]

I know😋

I hope for some announcements

[latent anvil]

Hopefully tn 🤞🏽

[tough yarrow]

You have the Ark News role. You'll be notified in #announcements with news.

[silent matrix]

ye i too hope for tn

[latent anvil]

Do they usually do crunches every week? I wasn’t even aware of them until recently

[marsh raven]

Lol but yea

[tough yarrow]

Typically, every Friday between 6pm-8pm EST.

[dreamy flame]

I just hope we get some of the better stat dinos like gen2 had lol I always found better stats on that map

[sharp stream]

so a griffin can outrun a wyvern

but can it outrun a crystal wyvern? (Crystal wyverns have more speed than regular ones)

[dreamy flame]

I doubt it lol

But I stole a ton of eggs using flight maneuvers on one 😂

[supple aspen]

I don't know, after I watched the video about dino speed griffin is actually super slow

[tough yarrow]

Making use of the diving, definitely

[dreamy flame]

Use the dive bomb to your advantage

[sharp stream]

Thats odd, dododex said its faster

[dreamy flame]

Snow owl was probably my favorite egg runner though

[supple aspen]

I mean maybe faster than wyvern, but wyvern can carry dinos

[sharp stream]

I found a decent level but my crossbow was almost broken 😦

I forgot to bring darts too

[trail nova]

All I am interested in atm, is not the trailer so much, but more, how much has the server architecture improved. Can we have 2x 5x 10x the creatures entities on the map now before the server has issues?, and how big can the maps be now with the new server stuff.
Tech marches on, I am hoping for some good stuff 🙂

[sharp stream]

so is a crystal wyvern or wild griffin faster

[grim solstice]

would you want 10x the creatures?

[wanton osprey]

will asa feature Carcharodontosaurus on launch?

[spare gyro]

I'm more worried about my pc exploding when I leave and come back to my disgustingly large base

[trail nova]

Not in my base, but a larger creature capacity, can mean bigger maps and more players

[spare gyro]

And yea I'm a pve player lmao

I know the console pve that I played on a long yime ago were awful bc of toxic pillaring lmao

[dreamy flame]

Shoot I'm going to miss cryos lol trying to breed in the old days was a pain before they came along

[lament kernel]

XD that didnt change

[spare gyro]

Rasing gigas and having a life

[wanton osprey]

since the island is the only map going to be on launch, will it have also all the creatures it has on ase?

[spare gyro]

No doubt what so ever haha. Don't know how pve was on PC tho hopefully better

[lament kernel]

Official servers on console will be live for an hour and every inch of the map will have a pillar😂

[dreamy flame]

Lord yes 😂 I never messed with Gigas until I got lucky one day and someone gave me like 6 of them with 1200 melee

[spare gyro]

Belive me. Me and my buddy are going herbivore and taking that shit

[spare gyro]

This lmao

We was given a giga and we didny knownwhat we was missing out on. We got wiped by a wild giga once when we were new

[dreamy flame]

Rexes were bad enough lol

[spare gyro]

Hated them ever since but then we got better lmao

And also pink and purple galaxy gigas very sexy

[dreamy flame]

I had pink and green 😂

[spare gyro]

Got them as "joker" gigas or something haha

My favourite animals were brontos man

[dusky widget]

You’ll no be taking a herbi on official as a duo

[dreamy flame]

I want to start on my army again. I miss them lol I honestly used the teks in boss fights with a yuty and a buddy on the pack leader

[dusky widget]

Folk swarming you like little ants

[dreamy flame]

Raptors

[dreamy flame]

I have only own little spot just north of the oasis on a cliff overlooking the ocean lol

[spare gyro]

Pve I don't have time for pvp lmao

Gonna be very easy on pve lmao

[dreamy flame]

I PvE too lol on ps5

[spare gyro]

Yeah I don't have time or the friends or the trust for randoms 😭🤣

[dusky widget]

It’ll be just as hard, only difference being folk won’t be chopping your stuff down

[spare gyro]

Nah it won't lol

[dusky widget]

Just slapping pillars everywhere

[spare gyro]

There's gonna be atleast 4 of use doing that regardless

I say me and my friend because its gonna end up as just the 2 of us because we love ark lol

But initially we should prosper lmao

Got them 2x scrolls memorised baybeee

[dreamy flame]

There was 3 of us but I'll probably be on my own this time lol

[dusky widget]

You’ll honestly need to be on that island first and going straight to herby to slap down some building or you won’t get it, it’ll just be a melee of folk

[stone rock]

Pve always gonna be better for me 😁 I like a chill game time with friends

[dusky widget]

Might be better trying different servers at the same time, then settle for the one someone claims

[spare gyro]

We are aware of the task my man

But if someone else gets it they get it

However we'll be on steam so initially lots less people to contend with bc no cross play on there at launch

[dreamy flame]

We used to invite everyone to our little cabin for cookouts and shit while dinos were raising 😂😂

But we were also on legacy with like ten ppl lol

[drifting osprey]

ASA for this week ? #dream

[marsh raven]

Maybe

[dusky widget]

Oh and of course, if it’s official, remember you won’t have movement speed for the damn sharks ☠️

[balmy ridge]

So do we just wait to see what happens ?? didnt it start at 10am central? lol

Twitchcon*

[marsh raven]

Ngl probably gon be next week

[molten quartz]

Ya it's called oxygen and flippers!

[marsh raven]

Oxygen boost you speed in water

[dusky widget]

I was meaning for claiming a herby island on launch

[molten quartz]

I bet glider suits and grapples are gonna be pretty useful on land now

[balmy ridge]

not in game

[dusky widget]

Pretty sure that’s not till Abb

[molten quartz]

It's not but there's still gonna be grapples

[olive maple]

Hi

[austere yoke]

What times the crunch come out?

[night seal]

I think

[olive maple]

Are all of the dlcs free?

[night seal]

Think so

[marsh raven]

In 9 hours or 8 hours

[night seal]

They were experimenting with a monthly subscription model for a couple DLCs

[marsh raven]

Yea

[austere yoke]

Thanks

[marsh raven]

Yw

[austere yoke]

I'm excited to wander the remastered island ooh and ah ING

[trail nova]

Will be fun to see, I hope they make the island bigger 😄

[marsh raven]

Can’t wait for a rp server to come up

[austere yoke]

Would be cool but how it is was good too

[still cipher]

Its not a remaster. they just edited some caves, but not overhauled the whole map

[marsh raven]

They are updating the fauna and water and the texture of certain things

[trail nova]

Considering the tech from UE5->5.3, if they have not touched everything, I will be disapointed

[still cipher]

ya. the fauna , water, dinos, but not the whole map

[austere yoke]

Would like to see the Tek ATV get some love

[late hazel]

Does anyone know the schedule for ark at twitch con?

[trail nova]

Ask a Magic 8 Ball

[compact granite]

Is today the big day

[marsh raven]

No one knows except for the people at event

[austere yoke]

Probably not knowing wildcard

[upbeat rose]

One day... Or? Day one...

[still cipher]

Disapointed? they already said that it isnt a overhaul of the whole map. ya, all the textures will be on UE5 and much better, but the whole landscape will not change

[sharp stream]

good ways to lead griffins into traps?

I plan on bringing a crystal wyvern since they're faster than pteranodons

[trail nova]

Considering the tech now avalible, I hope they have been over most, and updated the poly count in areas where some things looked like the orginal tomb raider game from the 90's

[fading nacelle]

atleast the mesh will be fixed

[still cipher]

I dont think so. i mean : they didnt say they dont do something like that. the only thing we know is they just remastered the caves a little bit.
But im glad they didnt remastered the whole map landscape... imagine how many mesh problems we will have 😄

[austere yoke]

If anyone watches loadedcrysis he just posted a video about some Dev update

[fading nacelle]

yea its just some predictions based on a few dev messages

[austere yoke]

Ah lame thanks

[fading nacelle]

the last 20 minutes were a old vid of him playing ark

[still cipher]

the communication with us - the players and community - is still very small ... hopefully the communication will be better after the release / crunch 🙂

[trail nova]

I figure the caves got an update like they say, and they are not doing any other real upgrades, like when they added the snow area and swamp, but I hope they cleaned up the areas, and made use of the nanite tech to make everything look fantastic, so when I go looking for some of my old spots, i will be amazed 🙂

[still cipher]

Hopefully they will make the greatest decision ever : handling buffs/nerfs seperatly for PVE and PVP... it sucks to get a dino nerfed just because its "too op" for pvp... i hate it.

[silent matrix]

we hope that cuz only the first months and major updates will be our chance of they changing something that they put on it..

[trail nova]

Part of me also wishes they redid the old trialer start, waking up on the beach, going into the oasis area, to show with new tech

[still cipher]

hopefully 🙂 but like i said : the LANDSCAPE itself will not be remastered. but ya i hope the nanites will be a part of their work 😄

[silent matrix]

aii

[trail nova]

Landscape i am fine with, it is the details I want to look like 2023 and not 2014

[still cipher]

true 🙂

[trail nova]

But, my biggest wishlist item is better server tech, so it can handle a bigger load

[austere yoke]

The updated engine will render the landscape better either way

[stiff widget]

How much is Asa gonna cost

[still cipher]

What do you mean "bigger load"? 🙂 The servers will be handling more and as example will load in bigger structureparts very very fast.

[still cipher]

45 but at launch 40

[fading nacelle]

40 on launch, 45 after launch

[stiff widget]

Wdym after launch?

[fading nacelle]

for the first few days there is launch discount

[still cipher]

weeks/days after. its just a "hey, release-discount" 😄

[stiff widget]

Oh

Okay 👍

[still cipher]

i dont know WHY... cuz you can just sell it for 40 if you can sell it to the most hyped players for 40 ... but hey... its wildcards decision (or snail? i dont know)

[dreamy sapphire]

I ain't complaining lol

[still cipher]

Honestly, I'm curious what kind of information will come out again when Snailgames is an "Alpha Tribe" again and it turns out that they are exploiting their "power" as many Youtubers have shown some time ago.

That they did it is already a shame for the whole structure / game. But that there were apparently no consequences, even worse.

I dont think that the franchise would die 😄

Also snailgames people should get the same penalties as us normal players. Just ban them, punish them or whatever.

Still they should be punished 😄

[fickle kettle]

snail games owned the conquest servers

those were personally ran by snail

wc didnt run anything about them or do any moderation on them

[still cipher]

But what am I actually complaining about? Will have my own server anyway and they will not come to me on the server anyway. So what - official servers and their players are lost anyway.

true 😄

[unique widget]

Is it true whenever they decide to show the trailer the game drops after the trailer

[still cipher]

And every player on their server probably agrees that the admins cheat

[vast path]

Snail games helped get the operation out of buddy's moms basement where the game was made

[still cipher]

I dont think that this is official? 😄

yes yes

[unique widget]

Okay thanks that’s why I was asking haha

[still cipher]

ya they helped. but its a shame to need to stay under their hands. they are cheater , banning ppl because they are bad players. its a shame 😄

hahah ye. their projects are all over just not good. ark is the only very big franchise

[vast path]

Communist country don't function like ours

[still cipher]

i mean, atlas is bad, last oasis a pvp game without soul, pixark cashcrab and anything else ... dont know 😄

i mean: what the heck is "Taichi Panda" 😄

[dreamy sapphire]

I've never even heard of those lol

[still cipher]

But maybe i should stop saying something against them. Could be banned soon KEKW

[vast path]

I gave that game enough of my life, acended can never be released for all I care

[still cipher]

how much game time? 😄

[vast path]

I don't even wanna look, I'd be to ashamed

[still cipher]

3k? 😄

[vast path]

Easy

3k afk probably lol

[still cipher]

or maybe more? 😄 I only have 4,5k on steam as PVE only player (building and VERY much breeding :D)

[vast path]

I did mega builds on both pvp and pvm

Pve

I probably have over 4k on official

[dreamy sapphire]

Think I'm sitting a lil over 5k

[still cipher]

BUT WHY?! 😄 official and singleplayer?! 😄

[vast path]

Single player probably 1000

[still cipher]

you are both lost 😄

[stone rock]

I have only like, 500 something hours :P, solo and with some friends

[distant galleon]

Im at 12k hours

[vast path]

Gg

[distant galleon]

Thx🤣

[gilded spruce]

5k for me, split between official pvp and modded pve

[dreamy sapphire]

Geez 12k!

[pulsar cairn]

The wait is driving me crazy

[thorny nebula]

Need atleast the trailer man

[gentle anvil]

Bump the trailer, we know we’re gonna buy it lol just drop the game

[errant cloak]

any news on asa yet?

[gentle anvil]

Just dropped. I’ve loaded in

[errant cloak]

bs xD

[unique widget]

Do like every other game studio make a Deluxe Edition and give us early access we’ll pay for it

[gentle anvil]

100%

[unique widget]

I found out why they haven’t released the game yet they have a guy working on the inside who secretly making a knockoff version of ark and wants to delay it so he can have time to make his competition game lol

[marble kraken]

fr

[unique widget]

lol 😎

[bleak rain]

Community crunch soon

Hopefully the trailer

[void dove]

If by soon, you mean 8ish hours

[unique widget]

lol yeah crunch on Fridays usually at 7 pm

[grim quest]

they gonna delay again for sure

[gentle anvil]

I don’t think they can

[grim quest]

well they did already twice so they can

[dark salmon]

When do y’all think ark ascended coming out

[gentle anvil]

I guess I could make @heavy cedar swoon and get some insider info for y’all

[lament kernel]

Figuring they killed ase they dont have much eh room to delay

[unique widget]

lol Ark holding off until McDonald’s brings the Mc Ribb back lol 😂

[gentle anvil]

There’s some politics tho. Bad things happen if they don’t release this month

[lilac yacht]

Tonight’s community crunch better not be empty😢

[sharp ore]

if the release date isn’t said this community crunch i dint think it’s going to come out during october lol

[gentle anvil]

They released ASA from cryopod during cooldown. We just have to wait

Or if we all whip it….

[unique widget]

Just looking up meaning of End of October and it means the last few days in October

Aka the last 3 to 4 days so ark not coming this week ☹️😭

[sterile robin]

omg it will come out this month. Have stated it many times over already

[gentle anvil]

I’m suspecting crunch with trailer today and trailer played at TwitchCon 🤞🏼. Release next week. Probably Friday

[sterile robin]

I doubt friday because that way they still have people in the office

[trail nova]

But I want to play it this weekend, next weekend I am going to read a book that is releasing, so wont have time to play

[solar wind]

hey do you guys think that they will move dinos to deferent arks for asa like andrewsarchus to gen 1 or deinochus to aberation or stuff like that

[sterile robin]

plus most of ark dlcs/maps are tuesday

[spiral pendant]

Lol priorities are clear

Can't blame you though!

[trail nova]

It is ASA, what can get spoiled from it from not playing for a few days, where as a book, someone can ruin the ending for me, has happned before

[spiral pendant]

if a new cosmere book came out I'd defo be on that

[solar wind]

yeah read the book first

[spiral pendant]

sorry if that came out negative, not my intention

[trail nova]

I am waiting for the book that comes out then, about a "bad word that starts with an A " Beercan and his barrel of monkeys and their miss adventures saving earth again and again

[gentle anvil]

What book? I b reading

[spiral pendant]

sounds interesting

[trail nova]

columbus day by craig alanson, is the first book in the series

[gentle anvil]

If you say GRRM is dropping the next GoT book before ASA I’ll sell my pc

[trail nova]

If you want litrpg, try Dungeon Crawler Carl, by matt dinneman

[spiral pendant]

GRRM is releasing next GoT book sunday

kidding

But I said it

[trail nova]

he said if you say it, not if it was true

[lone maple]

I was just going to say, I'll believe it when I have the damn book in my hands.

[spiral pendant]

Exactly

[spiral pendant]

Ever read Cosimo Yap's litrpgs?

[trail nova]

Nope

[tough yarrow]

Probs take it to #general if you're gonna start on books and stuff

[trail nova]

General is to fast passed, to many monkeys typing at once

[gentle anvil]

Boooo @tough yarrow. Only so much ark talk to be had. Ppl already repeating the same questions

[tough yarrow]

Move to #general then, this channel is for ark, as titled, thank you 🙂

[gentle anvil]

I’ll talk to YOU in general 😏

[ancient fossil]

guys is the trailer confirmed for tonight?

[gentle anvil]

No

[trail nova]

BeeWitched we need new stuff to talk about, anything else atm is just speculation, So I might as well ask a magic 8 ball.
That reminds me, I need to order a magic 8 ball off amazon.

[gentle anvil]

BANISHED TO GENERAL

[tough yarrow]

Wait for the community crunch in #announcements then

[gentle anvil]

I’m tired of waitin’ grandpa

[trail nova]

Though I do find it fun seeing people equate ASA to contain all their wishes. I personaly just want to relive my 2016 ark memories 😄 that is when I had the most fun playing it

[tough yarrow]

I miss the chonky argents

And the derpy rexes

[trail nova]

Those were the days, when the rex was the most powerfull dino in the game

[spiral pendant]

I am so excited about the potential for the new dino-management system

[tough yarrow]

It was nice when everyone was trying to figure out the best breeding setups, kibble charts, etc

[celest rampart]

I do not miss the old kibble chart

[oak quarry]

we used to use Rex's as tanks and Spino as DPS

[tough yarrow]

I kinda miss having a whole wall dedicated to the kibble chart, but I definitely don't miss having to have 800 tames lmao

[gentle anvil]

I just want to stream some beautiful island debauchery 😩

[celest rampart]

Old kibble farm was a nightmare to setup on official

[trail nova]

I kinda miss the days where I was about to go to bed, then spotting a 120rex (max level then if i remember correct) then spending the entiere night defending the bloody thing and hoping for a perfect tame

[unique widget]

Anybody know if that glitch where you whistle passive or aggressive sometimes it wouldn’t work is that gonna get fixed

[green arrow]

ASA HYPE

[unique widget]

In ark

[spiral pendant]

Lol how about setting timers for all hours of the night to get the hatchlings fed before they died

[celest rampart]

I wonder if the rates are gonna be same as now or if they will go back to old OLD default rates

[celest rampart]

Plz no

[gentle anvil]

Oh man I forgot about the official rates. I’ve been on unofficial so long

[spiral pendant]

Oh yeah, definitely did it with a buddy.

[celest rampart]

This is probably the worst part of no cryos at the start is I'm not gonna be able to 100% imprint some dinos again

[spiral pendant]

We were trying to gear up on a new server as fast as possible

[hot quartz]

Good morning folks 🙂

I hope yall slept last night haha

[spiral pendant]

Yeah, not so excited about not having those

[rotund barn]

When do they community crunches usually release (Eastern time?)

[odd condor]

NEW TRAILER TODAY?

[celest rampart]

Was nice to be able to come home from work and throw down dinos to start raising

[rotund barn]

its possible

[celest rampart]

Not worry about missing imprints

[raw ermine]

My otter won't let me put it on my neck, it just says access inventory

[celest rampart]

8pm usually

[rotund barn]

ahh ill be at work lol

[spiral pendant]

Was there any word on when the cryos will be coming? I haven't seen a road map yet for ASA

[gentle anvil]

I was deployed when Abberration dropped so every second of my time off was dedicated to that map. What a time to be alive

[rotund barn]

thanks lol

[celest rampart]

No I don't think so

[spiral pendant]

Aside from crunch 381 anyhow

too bad

[odd condor]

so how many hours are left? lol

[celest rampart]

I started really playing after SE was in full swing and rag didn't even have the desert portion released. Aberration was magical at launch

[celest rampart]

7 roughly?

[gentle anvil]

SE was horrendous…but I’d pay full price right now if they dropped just ASA scorched 😵‍💫

[celest rampart]

Masochist

Playing through SE for the 5th time now. I hate it

[marsh raven]

My favorite map ngl

[trail nova]

I never liked that map

[gentle anvil]

Extinction for sure

[spiral pendant]

I got into it a few times at different periods. My first experience with Aberration was terrifying. I had to call my buddy up to have him come save me because I couldn't find a way to transfer out and I was totally unprepared! Lol good times

[marsh raven]

Extinction makes stuff too easy

[gentle anvil]

Or lost island

[raw ermine]

Guys, does anyone know any solutions onto how to make an otter go on your shoulder

normally it is e, but it gives me access to inventory

[sage nacelle]

does anyone want to play a romal world? i am looking for friends to play with

[marsh raven]

Best map is aberration

[raw ermine]

not the pick him up

[tough yarrow]

Double tap F to make sure you're not carrying another dino, press E to pick up the otter.

[marsh raven]

Wym

[raw ermine]

oh shit, I am, cheers

i legit went into 3rd person and nothing was there

guess was a little bug

[sage nacelle]

i mean a non dedicated world or whatever its called hahaha, i am new to the game

[marsh raven]

Ohhh

[tough yarrow]

@sage nacelle https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/1110949794907684965

[sage nacelle]

yeah there are only modded servers there, i am looking for a different thing

[tough yarrow]

Recruitment is a lfg channel, not a server advertisement channel.

[fickle tree]

6

[trail nova]

I have to ask, is it a sure thing we will get news?. Or is it the standard rumor mill, that if you start to chase it down, it leads from person to person, and ends up with some guy sitting in his mothers basement making stuff up, while currently working on a fake video, showing that Justin Bieber will play Darth Vader in the next Star Wars movie.

[tough yarrow]

Of course it's not a sure thing lol no one knows what they're going to post in the crunches unless they give information ahead of time.

[gentle anvil]

FAITH @trail nova

[tough yarrow]

We all speculate though. I'm assuming dread info, personally. I don't think they'll have anything for ASA, based on Dollie's message in general chat pins lol

[trail nova]

Faith is for people who buy lotto tickets, that reminds me I need to buy one.

[celest rampart]

wait why do you feel that?

I don't get that impression from her message in pins

[tough yarrow]

Mainly this, but she's right that folks hype up too much and get disappointed too quick lol

[sterile robin]

about 8:30

yea, this cc is just gonna be the dreadnught dossie release

[rotund barn]

so true tho

[celest rampart]

so because dreadnoughtus crunch is expected today, no trailer is expected?

idk, seems little misguided to me

can do both

[rotund barn]

bruh they gotta do it soon cause release window is soon approaching lol

[sterile robin]

Kinda, the game either announces on tuesday or friday next week and releases on the 31st

[tough yarrow]

I don't personally expect a trailer. People can have their own opinions XD

[celest rampart]

thats my point, a trailer with release date would be perfect

[gentle anvil]

Trailer watch party at my place?

[shrewd agate]

Expect the worse so you will likely get a pleasant surprise

[rotund barn]

Can only pray

[celest rampart]

someone doesn't live with hope in their life.

[tough yarrow]

I'm just not expecting one, there's not any other reason lol

[celest rampart]

hope for the trailer, pleasantly surprise for shadow drop of game 🙂 thats the real play

[rotund barn]

Fingers crossed for something lol

[trail nova]

The trailers drops 24 hours before the release or on release day. If that is what happens, ill wait a few days more to see how the game is. Experience has though me to be cautious of trailers that drop the same day, or 5 years before release, or 11 in case of a space game i kickstarted in 2012.
I just want to see the GFX of ASA, with UE5.3 they should be able to make this game look fantastic

[unique widget]

yeah and they did say End of October which means last 3 days of October which is the 29 30 or 31

also the last week of October

[celest rampart]

but I expect it next week, at least for steam. Can't speak for consoles

[trail nova]

Something says to me the 31, as that is a tuesday and publishers love tuesday.

[night seal]

So the crunch will be around 1am bst?

[tough yarrow]

Around there yep

[sterile robin]

tuesday is update day on steam that is why

[unique widget]

Yesss me too I have off the following day so I’m really hoping for that day

[rotund barn]

yeah but also wouldnt just before a weekend be good, high player counts and impressions on the game

[night seal]

Thank you. In your Personal opinion - you think we getting the trailer

[gentle anvil]

I hope there’s enough time between announcement and actual release that I can do the same.

[tough yarrow]

I don't personally think so,but if you wanna hope for one go for it. Cross your fingies!

https://tenor.com/view/late-late-show-james-corden-fingers-crossed-wish-gif-8366445220958960726

[night seal]

Better to have low expectations I guess.

[tough yarrow]

Na, do what you want

[night seal]

I’ll be reasonably optimistic. If the trailer does come out though, I’ll give you a kiss

[gentle anvil]

Something in the orange tells me…trailer tonight ✨

[night seal]

Hopefully

[tough yarrow]

No need for that, lmao just enjoy the trailer instead

[night seal]

😂😂

[lyric saddle]

Community crunch out they today?

[trail nova]

I expect it to be like back in 2015, unstable as hell, and will require a computer that comes out in 2030 to run.
I expect to be saving dinos stuck in strange places again, oh man the hours I spent getting dinos unstuck

[tough yarrow]

In around 6-7 hours or so

[lyric saddle]

😢

[celest rampart]

curious to see new changes that aren't listed. Like will taming traps still work? or we gonna have to safari tame everything?

or will we be able to passive tame more dinos now?

[lyric saddle]

Why are ark noobs called bobs?

[gentle anvil]

WILD BABIES

JUST ABDUCT EM

[celest rampart]

stealing wild fertilized eggs

[tough yarrow]

Sometimes, but "bob" was actually the original character name when Ark released. Fun little tidbit!

[unique widget]

That’s really cool

[celest rampart]

I know they mentioned rewriting code base, one issue that has never gone away at least on island, is megalanias in walls, swear to god I have to walk through with rare flowers to get those things out, but when you see them on walls drop down, thats always terrifying

[gentle anvil]

ark noobs are called 123

[celest rampart]

how many dinos will get a TLC to some degree?

[sterile robin]

nah eu5 is better for optimization

[celest rampart]

forspoken would like to have a word

[trail nova]

We use to call them Rex food on my server, if they stole from others, cause we then ate them 🙂

[shrewd agate]

For everyone who have a million questions like "will this and that feature be the same as for ASE?", I suggest you take ASA as a completely new game. How do you approach a new game? You explore, test and enjoy the ride.

[sterile robin]

We really do not know. But if I had to guess quite a few to bring them back into the meta. personaly hoping the quetzs get one to make it meta again.

[celest rampart]

it'll be interesting seeing just island dinos back with no other dinos from other maps. I've never really pvped but for awhile trikes were great at pvp, now stegos are great?

[trail nova]

The engine might be, but that thing was made by engineers, and not by the users, and users ALWAYS do stuff the engineers never intended and that tends to break stuff.

[jagged lance]

There’s gotta be a plan to add center if the new whale is from there have they still not mentioned anything about center?

[night seal]

I doing think that at all. It’ll definitely have its problems. But just new and different problems. Not the same old ones.

[sterile robin]

I think it will go smoother now that they have had 8 years to perfect it.

[dense pivot]

Everyone sure about a trailer coming tonight ?

[tough yarrow]

The Center will be added sometime in 2024

[unique widget]

Hey will we still be able to use traps to game

[kindred furnace]

Will we have access to different maps via mods at launch??

[unique topaz]

ASA Info

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

• Community Crunch 381

Last updated: 2023-09-30

[sharp ore]

is gen 2 and gen 1 gonna be the last maps released right

[sterile robin]

not at all

[sterile robin]

I believe yes

[trail nova]

you mean break it 😛

[dense pivot]

I dont think there will be one but I'd lime to think there was, only a week away till launch

[night seal]

Don’t know how you’ve concluded that but ok

[sharp ore]

if they don’t have the release date today i’ve lost all hope

[sterile robin]

I suspect the trailer and release date be the same how they did se

[trail nova]

I figure they reused a lot of the old code base, if it was good enough, they will not touch it, I doubht they did a complete remake

[jagged lance]

Release date is probably in the trailer if they release one before the game drops

[night seal]

I wouldn’t conclude that without solid evidence

[trail nova]

It is more from personal experience and talking to people people who are coders. Dont change what works, take windows 11, it had features that had not changed a line of code since windows xp

[night seal]

Perhaps - you can track history to predict the future. Which in your case you’re doing. This can lead to a “conclusion”. But perhaps not the one you’d had with solid fool proof evidence.

[trail nova]

True, but it has the unfortunate and i really do mean unfortunate case of being right a lot. I wish it did not.

[night seal]

I don’t doubt that for sure 😂. Are you a programmer or the likes?

[trail nova]

Yep

[night seal]

Pretty cool. I’m curious to know what you do

[faint quartz]

does anyone know any unofficial server similar to official that is populated?

[trail nova]

atm job searching for a new coding job

[tough yarrow]

https://discord.com/channels/729837326120910915/1110925695900713072

[trail nova]

but that is not ark related so back to ark 😄

[tough yarrow]

Can take it to dms or #general

[night seal]

Aha 😂😂

[night seal]

🙏🏼

[night seal]

How long have you been playing Ark?

[trail nova]

I am not sure, cause I thought I played it before the official release date, cause when i looked on steam, I dont think the date matched with what i remember, so i dont know if there was a free version before or something to that effect

[night seal]

I see. Wanna tribe up on ASA?

[trail nova]

sure

[tough yarrow]

Released in 2015 on steam

[night seal]

You prefer pve or pvp

[trail nova]

Both

[night seal]

That’s great. I’m not picky either. I’ll hit you up on release then 😂. Look forward to it

Good luck with job hunting

[gentle anvil]

I want in on this conglomeration

[night seal]

You’re in 🤝🏻

I’ll hit you up too on release

[gentle anvil]

Ready to grind my tintoberries off 🫡

[night seal]

Making a steam group

[night seal]

😂😂

[gentle anvil]

@tough yarrow said she’s tribing with us too

[tough yarrow]

Unless your name is secretly Otterly, no lol

[gentle anvil]

AS A MATTER OF FACT it’s notterly 😩

[tough yarrow]

rip, not you then

[gentle anvil]

Maybe Ark 2 😮‍💨

[trail nova]

Figure ark two will be single player and nothing like asa

[gentle anvil]

We’ll find out in 2030

[trail nova]

2037

[daring peak]

When is the trailer coming out

[gentle anvil]

First ASA tame? And go!

[fathom yacht]

Probably parasaur

[trail nova]

Dilo

I need my Dilo army to defend me

[desert forum]

Dodo

[gentle anvil]

Interesting choices

[lofty wedge]

argy

[fathom yacht]

oh yeah, my friend is probably gonna go straight for the Dilos, he loves them.

[lofty wedge]

k

[fathom yacht]

Parasaurs are super easy to tame and, at early game, they're quite good for scouting and carrying stuff.

[trail nova]

I love them on PVP servers, cause I use them for Bait homes, small stone or wood homes, that i put a few dodoes and dilos in, the dilos on attack mode, so when someone breaks in and kills them I know who it was, and can ride my giga out to eat them and their base. I might have a base eating disorder.....

[glacial flare]

Super useful for ppl lurking around your shat

[fallow maple]

When is the community crunch (germab time zone)?

[rotund barn]

gotta go with the parasaur

raptor as soon as a i get the bola engram tho

[trail nova]

my first tame ever was a parasaur, then another player ate it

[rotund barn]

rip man i feel u

[trail nova]

I still remember my first 24 hours in ark, man the mistakes I made

[glacial flare]

The argy would be the first best farm tame tho, it can carry stuff for you to tame or farm with and strong enough to kill most Dino’s including alphas

[fallow maple]

Quetzal also gonna be very importsnt for raiding

[rotund barn]

my argy was an alpha killer man

[trail nova]

I like that first tame was asked and people keep saying animals that you would be able to get a saddle for on vanilla settings for a long time 🙂

[glacial flare]

Talking first tames

[fallow maple]

And i think quetzal base could make a little come back

[fallow maple]

Oh but still important

What u guys think gonna be best starter spots on island

[sharp stream]

ravager vs hyaenodon?

[gentle anvil]

I can’t remember good PVP spots for the island…I’ll probably get a few small hidden posts going before committing

[unique widget]

We going Dodo for Asa 🦤🦤🦤

A lystrosaurus always my first. I just think the darn things are so cute. And then I get sad 10 minutes later when it gets eaten. But still. Will always be my first.

[native talon]

we adpt.

[gentle anvil]

You just want the xp boost ✨

[sharp stream]

I have once again forgot to bring kibble

[gentle anvil]

I’m probably going raptor or pt and Bob hunting 😈

[sharp stream]

and its a 156 doed

[full sleet]

[sharp stream]

atleast I brought veggies so it wouldnt take as long as mejoberries ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[haughty vigil]

do green gems/crystals spawn in vanaheim?

[sharp stream]

I play crystal isles but it might be pretty similar, does your map have redwoods? Thats where I find green gems along with a small amount of crystal

[haughty vigil]

uh i think so

ive only explored midgard so im not too sure

[sharp stream]

you can try finding it in the redwoods if you want, but I cant guarantee its there since I'm on a different map

[haughty vigil]

yeah true

[amber cedar]

Aww man, my home security system killed a level 120 carnotaurus

[trail nova]

I had a dodo once that killed an alpha rex, I miss that monster dodo

[celest rampart]

Dodos are my first fridge ❤️

[timber ivy]

I'm gonna do a dilo if it doesn't end up killing me 😂

[trail nova]

Club it

[tepid viper]

So tech question. Will UE5 improve performance on older pc’s due to using newer code? Or will the graphic changes effectively negate that? Just curious never seen a game go up engines that wasn’t like oblivion to Skyrim which was a whole new game style in a sense

[trail nova]

That reminds me, do people remember when the penguins where added, to get its gell you had to club baby penguins

[timber ivy]

I never ventured into the snowy areas

[trail nova]

I lived in that area before it was snow, when we came online after the update, our base was GONE, and we had to rebuid, first got out of there, as we where freezing to death

[high reef]

Yes and no, it will improve code but they most likely have more intense graphical feature which require more processing power

[slow ruin]

First Petri and then rex 😄

[gentle anvil]

Hopefully the code base will keep the game from getting to 9 Tb like ASE with all DLCs lol

[haughty vigil]

pterdon

[barren quartz]

Man I hope we get a trailer today

[lyric narwhal]

whens the asa trailer

[haughty vigil]

why do people want the trailer so bad

[barren quartz]

So we can see the actual gameplay.. why would we not want a trailer

[haughty vigil]

just beg for the game

[trail nova]

Ok, there is the deal, this is a remake, the old system requirements are out the window, Expect to upgrade or buy a new potato to run the game,

[lyric narwhal]

I'm asking when the trailer is

I'm not desperate for the trailer I'm just wondering because I heard it was today somewhere

[timber ivy]

Now that makes me wonder if a snowy area has the same difficulty as a hot area 🤔

[barren quartz]

I’d like to see a functional game and what it looks like prior to buying it

[polar tendon]

Do ya'll think we'll get a quick travel to other maps for singleplayer?

[haughty vigil]

fair enough

[trail nova]

Magic 8 Ball, says, Now, Ask again later, Your luckey numbers are 8 13 17 25 37

[lyric narwhal]

?

[frozen tiger]

Hi everyone is there a specific time that the community crunch normally comes out?

[timber ivy]

I hope so 🙏
I'm still confused with uploading my survivor then downloading it.

[timber ivy]

around friday 5 utc -7:00

[polar tendon]

Well if at least we could upload our items it would be fine enough

I mean with our character, not separately

[haughty vigil]

i got silicia pearls finally

after all that searching i found a level 140 terror bird

[trail nova]

Those things always makes me want to run in the opposites direction.

[haughty vigil]

just bola them

[fathom yacht]

I wish they add some of the more realistic creatures from DLCs to the base island, specially Lymantrias qand Mantis, but also my beloved Sinomacrops...

[fallow sand]

I hate to say this but I don’t think there will be a trailer today

In crunch 381 they said (we’ll reveal the launch trailer screenshots and set the game live at the end of October) and then yesterday dollie said ( we’re close to end-Oct y’know)
Therefore we aren’t at the end of October yet so no trailer tonight

[trail nova]

31

[sharp stream]

will stuff like events still happen when Ark Ascended and/or 2 come out

[celest rampart]

I believe so, but we are not getting fear evolved for it

I imagine we'll get winter wonderland and maybe turkey event

[tough yarrow]

WinterWonderland is confirmed as the first seasonal event. Extra Life is confirmed as the first rates event.

[haughty vigil]

how do i get taming effectiveness down?

[sharp stream]

Does the Ark Birthday happen too (Spawns birthday dodos)

[floral kelp]

when’s the crunch come out?

[livid wave]

Don’t

[haughty vigil]

yeah but how

[modest orchid]

Punch it

[livid wave]

Hit Dino

[haughty vigil]

oh

[tough yarrow]

About 6 hours from now

[grave valley]

Crunch time soon. Boyaaaa

[haughty vigil]

shit

[tough yarrow]

I'd assume it will next year for ASA

[haughty vigil]

how do i get it to keep on being unconscious

[livid wave]

Narcos

[solar bison]

So like 9pm EST?

[haughty vigil]

force feed?

[wanton sand]

I already know it will be a while for crystal isles to be added to ASA.

[livid wave]

Yes

[sharp stream]

Narcotics, narcoberries, ascerbic mushrooms, or biotoxin

[celest rampart]

wonder if they'll call it fear evolved next year or fear ascended lol

[trail nova]

if asa does not have raytracing ill cry

[tough yarrow]

Typically closer to 8pm, I didn't look at the current time

[solar bison]

Cool thanks

[haughty vigil]

omd thank god

[celest rampart]

pretty sure thats something UE5 offers, whether it'll be good ray tracing is a diff story (example, hogwarts legacy)

[trail nova]

It depends on if they will use it,

[haughty vigil]

can i ride a terror bird in vanahein

[celest rampart]

what I want to see is DLSS/FSR/XESS

[floral kelp]

pretty sure dlss 3.0 will be in ark

[celest rampart]

that'll be great, hopefully frame gen too

that'll massively help with ark performance, especially if they put fsr 3.0 for those people without 40 series cards

[haughty vigil]

im lost as hell in vanaheim

[rotund stag]

ive just realised that the CC will be coming out around 3am BST 😭

[fallow sand]

I hate to say this but I don’t think there will be a trailer today

In crunch 381 they said (we’ll reveal the launch trailer screenshots and set the game live at the end of October) and then yesterday dollie said ( we’re close to end-Oct y’know)
Therefore we aren’t at the end of October yet so no trailer tonight

[celest rampart]

Why you keep spamming that

[grim solstice]

they also said that this crunch will have dreadnoughtous art so yeah i agree

[trail nova]

For the attention.

[rotund stag]

im looking forward to whatever, arks been one of my favourite games for a hot minute and i am so buzzed for ASA

[fallow sand]

Just trying to tel y’all know

[ivory lagoon]

If todays crunch is only art I might just go crazy

[tranquil flower]

does anybody know hwo to remove host tether bc ik u can like make it high but when u go in cave or deep water u get tped is there a way to remove it completely

[rotund stag]

im going away soon i hope it deosn drop whilst im gone ill cry

[wary charm]

guys where ark 1.5 ? now 20.10.23 and where ark ??

[rotund stag]

i have no clue but you can get relatively well priced servers on Gportal i know its not ideal but

[celest rampart]

WHERE ARK

[trail nova]

Behind you

[celest rampart]

You can't on non ded but you can set it to like 9999 and it won't matter

[wary charm]

oh i dont see hm stranger

[tranquil flower]

yh but like if ugo in deep waterds or play genesis u and tp to dif area u get tped to host its so bad

[trail nova]

The guy with the hockey mask, he responds to Jason

[barren patrol]

dammit here i thought the stranger was the guy with the finger knives.... -sigh-

[wary charm]

[fathom yacht]

set it to 99

[celest rampart]

Is it only 99?

[fathom yacht]

you'll still be teleported to your friend if he goes into a cave though

[trail nova]

I just had a strange though, maybe they are making ASA so they can fill the game with microtransactions, so we will have to buy skins of people in hockey masks, and barney the purple dinasuar, and count chocklua, that run around and kill us

[haughty vigil]

does anyone have a map to where the vanaheim teleport is

[fathom yacht]

if 'im not mistaken, if you go above 99 it resets to 1

[wild knoll]

which one is better direwolf or sabertooth???

[fathom yacht]

and 99 should be enough

[wary charm]

maybe

[celest rampart]

But do you blame them

[silver tundra]

I expect a remaster like all the other games have been doing. I just want to play it is what's driving my anticipation.

[trail nova]

for skins and stuff i would not care much,

for pay to win, that will make me leave the game faster than a dog knowing it is going to the vet to get neuter

[silver tundra]

For sure you know they'll go the pay for cosmetics route to drive revenue which the PvE will eat that up for sure

[trail nova]

But would you want to play ark, if optimus prime, barney the purple dinosaur, and scooby doo, were your tibe mates, would that not be too immersion breaking?

[fleet quiver]

Bro what is it with people and immersion. You don’t like it, play singleplayer.

[spark sedge]

gaht damn

[trail nova]

I like to escape from the real world

[spark sedge]

Playing around on lost island, grab myself a sinomacrops because why not, even though i already have a bunch

[livid wave]

Small tribes will be in the game tho right?

[spark sedge]

It's got over 40 in both health and melee

[fresh ferry]

hellow

[fleet quiver]

Then play singleplayer but its like bf 2015, everybody upset about storm troopers with no helmets. Like what a weird thing to be upset about.

[silver tundra]

Yeah they said small tribes from dollie screenshots I've seen

[fresh ferry]

time to get on the game after like month

something happend in that last month?

i see longer cd on the chat -v-

[silver tundra]

Regardless my wife and I will be playing. We've enjoyed ark but she doesn't like dark souls like games so I'll settle for asa

[fresh ferry]

thats sound very cute and great

[fleet quiver]

If you like Ark 1, I see no reason why Ark ASA wouldn’t be worth picking up.

[trail nova]

you sound like a smoker on a buss that is mad he is not allowed to smoke there anymore. Yes there are a ton of players that like the vanilla feel, and i hope we get those serves still, cause i dont enjoy many modded where i can wake up in the morning and be endgame before tea time. I like vanilla, and so do most i play with, it is a bigger challange

[fleet quiver]

Lmao no thats you fam

[finite tangle]

hey will there be a community crunch today?

[fleet quiver]

If you are worried about immersion you can do private servers or singleplayer. But don’t complain about everybody having fun riding a pegasus skin on an argy.

[lean mirage]

Hi i have a question, There will be controller compatibility on ark steam? @tall minnow @viral shore ?? @peak finch

[trail nova]

I dont mind that, what anoys me is when everyone expects everyone to play their way, i love there are vanilla servers

[fleet quiver]

We don’t have to play any way. If we are in official, we have to play WCs way.

[silver tundra]

I might try official if the meshing is no more

[trail nova]

meshing?

[sick wave]

Just stopped by the NOIS booth. Nothing too much there. Just ARKade challenges for content creators, etc.

[haughty vigil]

how do i get back to midgard

i need help im lost in vanaheim and idk where im going

[winged hamlet]

meshing is managing to slip through the usual boundary of the world, like the hard 'wall' that keeps you from falling through terrain or cave walls

[sick wave]

Hold Y or X or B or something like that and should be able to TP out. I’m not sure the Xbox input

[haughty vigil]

my mounts tho

[sick wave]

They will go with if inside bubble I believe

[trail nova]

Man before pokeballs that was a REAL pain

[winged hamlet]

people have used it to cheat pvp and it's been an issue when you end up through the mesh and die from the anti-mesh coding

[haughty vigil]

i dont trust it

my argen is carrying everything

[winged hamlet]

if theyre fully inside the bubble they go with

hasnt failed me once

[sick wave]

I’m about positive they will go with. If not just make a bed next to them

[sharp stream]

can mantises be passive fed spoiled meat?

[celest rampart]

I think its just deathworm horns

[winged hamlet]

not in vanilla i think

[celest rampart]

or rhino horns maybe too?

[sharp stream]

my modded spyglass says it can for some reason

[haughty vigil]

shit idk where to go

[winged hamlet]

i think just deathworm and rhino horns to a lesser extent

[barren patrol]

they're correct. the argy will come with you if it's inside the buble

[haughty vigil]

im on top of waterfall castle, where do i go

like where on realm teleportation do i go

[sick wave]

Wherever you want. That’s the joy of ark lol

[barren patrol]

just don't go to the realm that is super cold

[sharp stream]

other games spoon feed you information, tutorial n stuff

meanwhile ark just throws you straight into potentially dangerous areas

[haughty vigil]

vardiland south

[winged hamlet]

ark is kinda bad for some info

[sharp stream]

isnt there a survival guide or something in the main menu though

[winged hamlet]

you really shouldnt have to google or wiki basic info

[haughty vigil]

yeah a game guide

its stupid i cant fly my argy in vanaheim

[winged hamlet]

no flying in realms

[haughty vigil]

okay yes my mounts are here

[sharp stream]

can you use bats, like a cave?

[winged hamlet]

except bats
