Okay is there an easier way to find alphas cuz I'm trying to farm out boss fights
ab has a steep learning curve, and half of it is almost unplayable without a rock drake
He tried getting me into rust but I just can’t 😅
I dont think it will be on gamepass upon first release. Maybe?
it's my 3rd least favorite map
WOW literally same, finally got bored of GTA again
Nah probs won’t because they need the money
2nd least favorite is scorched earth because it's not a very pretty map and was unfinished for so long, and i hate how the weather essentially stops you from playing for minutes at a time
will a 3060 work for asa?
You never know.. I mean.. why is the reveal coming out at an XBOX showcase.. Im thinking signs are pointing in that direction.. maybe to make up for the Ark 2 shenanigans
I think because xbox has a bigger show platform to release on that is my opinion
I had a gigantic adobe base in the dead center of the map on one of those giant plateaus. I loved building that base. I broke down a base down the way from me and they had a cryo fridge with an insanely muted giga. I named him Steve. He would down a 150 alpha rex in 3 bites
my only hated map is Gen 1. it was horrible having to tp everywhere when the game is NOT optimized for suddenly changing location, building there sucked because of all the mission zones, and it sucked having to do ALL the missions to fight the boss, especially because most missions flat out require you to have help
Id sure hope so ... if it wont.. theres gonna be a lot of pissed off people out there.. not everyone can go out and get a 40 series card
Gen 1's only redeeming factor is that the CMC is arguably the most fun boss fight in the game
I mean it would be nice to switch between consoles eventually.
I have to admit I found building easier when I was on console.
Oh god.. Id forgotten about Gen 1.. another complete swing and miss... what a miserable map.. I think we played a week there, then bailed
I tried to get into gen1 so hard but i couldn’t. I hated all the biomes and i hated the missions. Gave up on that one
🥹 love hearing ur experiences I’m so jealous and can’t wait to have my own
Tek Rexes and element dust was the only thing I ever went to Gen 1 for
Can you use a controller on your pc? I know a lot of people do that.. I just cant give up my m&K
I don’t think my partner was very happy this morning when I woke up at 5 am to tell him about the statement that Xbox put up on Twitter 😅
Fair I keep forgetting you can add your controller!
Gen2 is awesome. Always nice to be able to go in naked with just your default suit and get preggers by a max level reaper
my first general experience on gen 1 was wanting to transfer over with a bronto and build a mobile base. i spent 5 hours putting it all together. then I teleported to the lava biome, and the bronto disappeared under the mesh
I think scorched earth and abberration get the least love. Which is a shame. I love Aberration. The first time encountering a surface reaper king I was scared asf XD We were mining metal
What kinda server are you guys thinking of starting on ?
My two favorite maps. I played scorched earth before i ever set foot on the island, and the most fun i had in ark was on ab
the server i've been on is going to start back up again when ASA launches
I know I’m gonna get some flack. But I’m gonna make my main base on Scorched Earth. I love the biome and it is so detailed.
it's been shut down for a year now because we were waiting for ASA way back in march
I'll be running my own for my community... will be PvE... and its a small group... I'll likely do my vids from either SP or do a server for me to use to record and do events where I can cluster the servers for the event and folks can bring their characters and tames over for the event
I hear it's hard to survive >_> I wonder if the chair will work to keep alive lol I plan on exploring for the Phoenix
I’m going back to official. That’s the only place I’ve played up until a few weeks ago
You'll be waiting a bit m8, I dont think SE is coming out til Dec.. or next year LOL
Yeah I’m running for the first time my own dedicated server.
I was so sick of paying the rates that I went out and brought a PC and upgraded it specifically to run all the maps eventually.
If you get shelter that won’t suffocate you and a safe way to get water you’re fine. It’s not as hard as it seems
Yeah that’s why I’m not putting too much effort into my island base. 😅
i don't hate scorched earth, it's an ok map all things considered. i just hate how the weather basically shuts you down
Hopefully there's an event off the bat of ASA release🎃👻
Im gonna try do to that at some point.. in the process of moving/selling house.. so going back and forth between VA and NC. Cant just leave a puter up without having access to it for weeks at a time to fix anything that goes haywire
Do you have any recommendations? Is official nice??
I’m def staying away from pvp lol, I mostly like building and rp. Ideally somewhere people can’t destroy my base if that’s a thing
if there's a sandstorm you have to hunker down or get back to base and wait for five minutes. something that disrupts gameplay that bad is terrible
Hopefully they balance it but I hope they don’t in a way because I like the struggle
like i don't mind struggling against the weather, it's the hard pause in gameplay that gets me
Really hoping taming times go down a little...5hr for a tame >_>
will depend on how populated servers get ... Official PvE can quickly get pillar spammed til you have no place to build
pve official is kinda toxic
I’m too excited to play other games 😞
hopefully they do something to keep that to a minimum
if pve official is considered toxic, pvp official is flat out radioactive
Especially when people pillar off areas (and unused land).
For me Scorched seem like really no point, it just a bunch of sand and really only thing special about it is the Phoenix
Trruuuuuuuuue
I would not call official nice, no. You get pillar spammers, trolls, general assholes. I like it for not being boosted and the constant rotation of noobs. I try to help them out if they’re nice
yep, hope wc fixes that somehow
Thats why I run my own servers.. have been doing it for almost as long as the game's been out.. I play games to have fun.. not create a second job to fix crap a 12 yo off lined me and destroyed while I was working or sleeping
Call me crazy. But my favorite Dino is the Therizinosaurus. I'm taming the first one I find. 😢
I see, yeah makes sense. I wanna meet people just not jerks 💀😂
LOL.. love me a Tickle Chicken!
my experience on most official servers was trying to find a place not covered in pillars or foundations, and the server pausing every half hour to lag to hell and back
Theyre pretty good fried too 🙂
Haha mine too. When theris dropped i tamed one with mejoberries. It took me 12 hours
It's the best. Very versatile and a cutie.💕
They shed torpor fast too.. so make sure you have plenty of sleepy pots
it was alright for my first experience but once you get to raising rexes i got tired of having to be on so long
I love the Baryonix... great utility animal on land and sea
Thylacoleo gotta be mine
500 tame count and behemoth gates for walls is to thank for that lag
Great in caves as well. Hugely versatile
Good multipurpose animal too.. and cuddly.. unlike the Bary.. which has a face only a mother could love
and half the chat being filled with squares
Yesss
I really hope they fix the pillaring. Before you could report it. But it only does so much.
Truth. I used to love barys back when they could be bolad made the tame way easier
Thylas remind me of a T shirt I saw once... it said "I am confident that I will die petting something I shouldnt"
Cuddly 😭?
i hopped into official over the summer and things seemed pretty find as far as pillaring went
Dire wolves 🥰
If u Xbox or ps5 and need tribe pm me
Argies used to be able to carry them too.. not sure if they still can on official.. been so long since Ive played on an official map
they increased bary weight so can't be bola'd or carried by argy iirc
I don't think they can carry them
The pillaring was probably ok that late in the servers life. It’s gonna be bad for a little bit when ASA drops I’m sure
some folks' bases made taming rexes easy
Guess I’ll have to find a good non official one
i could either sit under one or on top and shoot the rex where it couldn't get me
Or just be the first to pillar lol
Ok folks.. was fun chattin with yall.. you are good people! 🙂 If you get a hankerin.. drop by Old Gamerz Never Die... and you can get info on the small group of servers I have going... its laid back and focus on learning and having fun 🙂
Now Im off to practice NOT being a beach bob on the Island so I can be ready for my launch day stream 🙂
That will be hard to determine at first. I anticipate it being hell day 1. Everyone scattering and building (personally I'll be on. Taking 2 days off work for it XD been waiting so long).
'Bout time. :3
I’ll be off for the stream but I’ll have to wait until Friday regardless
can we report this jesse character?
im back
i opened their profile and i got flash banged
where is jesse
Is that ysera as your pfp 💀😩
I love
No. Just an oc (visage form) XD
wdym?
Ty!
tickle chicken 🙂
I vote this server needs a therizino emote 😢

Gah can't link a gif of the thero from jurassic world lol
If you've got some cool Ark emotes, you're welcome to message Dodo Mail at the top of the members list for suggestions, just try to make sure you can credit the artist, if possible
got flash banged
Oh well if that's the case. I may need to commission one 👀
All discord suggestions get sent through there, if you've got anything go for it XD all of us are fond of the cute emotes
How do I enable fear evolved on my cluster?
I'm sorry to hear that. You'll be alright :3
ur on xbox
right u can do it through the server hosting server
Yea
if its ur singleplayher u can do it in the settings
Nitrado
yea i dont use nitrado
Search ActiveEvent
Ok
Does anyone know if single player will have tether distance in ASA?
Nah we got 
T-that's not the same
Didn't work
What happens when the egg incubation goes all thr way down when hatching a wyvern egg?
Searching (or using "find in page") ActiveEvent in the web page did not work?
It better not because that is annoying
Currently hatching a lightning wyvern egg
1 more day 😁
anyone got any decent creature mods on par with mods like ark additions and fayes menagerie
A baby wyvern appears?lol
??? what kinda lies u spreading
next ur gonna be telling me a rock drake egg hatches into a rock drake
I hate it when you try and look at a Dino in the front and the game won't let you and makes it look left or right
Turn off ally looking
What is ally looking?
Hold E on the dino and its under one of the options. Cant remember which one. It makes it so your dino will look straight ahead no matter what. Unless you are riding it.
o sorry, Not E.
Whatever it is on console.
I like lightning wyverns but their face looks a bit odd
Im hoping ASA fixes them. I think they look terrible is ASE. lol I wish they would close their mouth. 😅
i love how the crystal wyverns glooowwww like... a stained glass window
Are yall gonna be okay without wyvern for a few months?
all I need is a dodo
Based
Just beaten alpha overseer solo
Congratulations
Their teeth are so badly designed ino
nice, I barely made it out alive on Gamma (I'm just bad although i've beaten the other The Island bosses on alpha)
ok well for the pepole who asked were I found all the website stuff ( im on pc ) you go to annouuncments and it should show an xbox symbol and wright bellow it there is a link wich will bring you to the website
For further info check ark moments for more details of the hell I went through
almost like its meant to be the final challenge
Ok cooking pot shows the event stuff how long till I see the pumpins and stuff
You most likely won't, most event assets were removed.
Lmao
😥
Although I’ve never beaten Rockwell (aberration) other than gamma (because I hate this boss fight)
No ghost dinos?
Ghost Dinos?
i wonder how the TLC for wyverns will look like
Sorry rather late to notice but what exactly is happening on the 25th?
lol u can just utube it or google it
I really want a revamp of all flyers animations !!
I would like to see them allow Thylas to be used in bosses in ASA
a trailer or gameplay release. Potential the game releasing. I would expect potentially something tomorrow, but I am mostly likely wrong.
Yeah would have been shocked if it was release and not a trailer haha
Along with a bunch of other X-box stuff, which is why a lot of people think they haven't been able to reveal things themselves; some deal with Microsoft that they'd be the ones to reveal it.
see I am thinking this. Trailer tomorrow and wednesday saying the game is ready for release
u reckon trailer=gameplay reveal? or u think thier seperate
Wildcard's usually been pretty good on that front, with trailers actually having gameplay
I am thinking separate and then wednesday is announcing game is ready for download. But I was thinking they launch it on the 30 or 31. Someone said in here way earlie today jat striked that idea down already.
Doesn't Steam have a 14 day policy from the time its added to store vs being available for purchase? I overheard some people talking about that was'nt sure if it was accurate
nah, that idea was already squashed by dollie. It is already out on steam. Just hidden page.
Ah gotcha. Figured it was in there somewhere
you guys think we get a trailer tmr?
Honestly super excited yet very worried about how it performs on current hardware. Im running an RTX 3090 with a Ryzen 5950x and Ill likely struggle to run it
On max setting that is
I genuinely think you’ll be more then fine to run it
has bro not looked in announcements
💀
Obviously I have 💀, some people are speculating we get a trailer tmr since they said that they’re showing gameplay in that show case
Man, I can't wait to check out the other maps or get my hands on the tek suit
whats the pc specs?
Gonna have to fresh start on official once again which will be nice. Get ready for the servers to be covered in pillars though lmao
No official pc specs as of yet
I might be being bozo rn but how do I power a heavy turret?
I literally have electricity going into a power outlet right next to it
Do you gave it connected via electrical box?
The electrical outlet right?
Are spinos good to take down the overseer?
The box is right next to it\
USD?
i got arked
Yutyrannus or Therizinosaurus
I'd recommend Rex since they are Tanks
Looking back on this... I really should have gotten the industrial forge first
a scrkpoion came ojt of no where and killed KO. me while taming. 150 saber tooth sad
Pretty sure grinder is the least used structure for me anyhow.
the grinder gets a lot of use for me when i get gachas
all the low quality armor and weapons go in
If I did use it at all that what it was for ^
makes org poly pretty easy to get once they give you fab weapons
we talking abt modded servers ryt?
A ghillie suit and ascendant chainsaw in the honey cave on crystal yields more organic poly than you will ever use damn near it
but that would involve staying on ci
just use a doedic
upload
Just check my XGPU, expired on Feb 2025
my server usually only has 4 maps up, and none of us liked ci
i enjoyed playing on extinction though. the osd and veins were fun
Server people I play with look for usually go for ones with stack mod, so I just transfer to crystal when we need organic poly, then transfer back to our main map.
and the DT is actually pretty easy if you have a good shotgun
Reasonable rates with a 5k stack mod is nice, keeps from slot capping inventory
I have an electrical outlet next to my turret
its not being powered what am I doing wrong
fire arrows go brrrrrr
is the generator turned on
is the outlet connected to the gen?
Yeah it has Yellow line going towards it
Load and lock it
is there a line from the outlet to the turret
place the outlet closer to the turret
So does anybody know a good server for me and the homies that is purge weekends and will be moving over to ASA when it drops. We’re tryna get back into it and can’t find anything. Sorry if this ain’t the place to ask all the other chats were moving at Mach speed
Its right next to it
send screenshot
DM?
sure
Try to reset the outlets at the generator. I forgot what the option is called.
still unpowered
Did you put gas in generator
okay
yea refresh the connection
so, can confirm it has to do with the turret somehow
I put a fridge next to it and that is powered
but the turret wont (which is in the same ceiling block)
also hhide that outlet, all it takes is me sitting out of range on a griffin with my fire arrows to burn it up
I wanna fix it first haha
is a battery turret?
its a s+ heavy auto turret
I also tried the non s+
my best guess is the outlet is somehow glitched and cant connect to the turret try placing thek outlet even closer
or replace it
HOLY HAHAHA
bro I got pranked
so I didnt build the pillar for the turret and I think my gf put a hidden outlet inside the pillar
im dead
its working now
Hmm, maybe I could bring ankys to one of the caves (or doeds if even the anky can't fit through)
which caves
Remove swamp aids it’s annoying asf
how rare are triplets because i was gonna hatch some theris and i was only expecting four children and now im left with 6
skill issue
I love status effects. Makes the game more challenging. Ark is pretty lax on them imo. Except for maybe Super Rabies... fuck that ish, expecially when youre freezing to death lol
what's up my baryonixes
is it normal that im naming my baby therizinosauruses after terraria bosses
Yes.
call one of them DESMOND BENJAMIN 🗣️
dose anyone know any severs what are boosted like 15x xp taming and gathering but the egg hatching mating and breeding is like really boosted so it wont take long for them to get big and hatc
ive already almost named all 6 but ill name the 6th one desmond benjamin
let's goooo
almost all servers
and another one "RAINBOW MAGNETS"
i cant find
for the whole story to unfold
nah man ive named them all now
ah I see, well I will do it on my end when I get better in game 🥲
5/6 are named after a terraria boss that i like
I hope Desmond Benjamin will survive whatever you're going to do with these babies
im going to make them fight a dragon and manticore
then after we will slaughter eveyr giga in sight
but i dont have enough berries so one might become bigger bird chow
btw should i make 4 or 5 rocket launchers for lava elemental
Any
But in this case, the cave to the east of the grand hill volcano
whays a good place to base after getting to a level you meed to relocate the island
you could go inland a bit i think to get closer to metal deposits and stuff maybe
i dunno
sometimes people base on those big cliffs
i did
on the island? the central cave?
The Island. Level 1 of the maps
island isnt level 1
its just the original it is easier than some others but its one of the best maps without quesiton
rn im chilling on herb island
the only issue is resources are so clumped
so alpha tribes ruin it by taking over those areas
so? just use other maps or get ur rescouces from raids like everyone else
i know i was just pointing out one of tbe negatives js all
the island is my favorite map just has that issue very little base locations resources very clump up and easy for alpha tribes to cut off new tribes completely
your favorite part is how unbalanced/how easy it is to bully others on.😂
I get thats the point of PvP but wow 
No my favorite part about the map is mainly nostalgia
I don’t play PVP
Oh, you are saying its an issue lol
Yeah
I is stupid
don't mind me
I wish the island was more flat tbh
anyone who says the island is thier favourite hasnt played ab
True I haven’t played AB yet but as of rn Island it my favorite map mainly from nostalgia
I tried ab a few times but couldn’t get thorough difficult curve
So, Ark crashed after I transferred to scorched earth and it didn’t do an auto save so the stuff I transferred was lost because the game refreshed to when I first transferred over so my Rexes, my gear, everything’s gone
The island is not bad for base location as long as you have the imagination to build using the terrain
For pvp it’s a night mare tho
how are u nostaligic about the island if ur a new player lmao
thats why people like it. it has one unlike other maps where its just get a flyer.
I am not a new player
u build in a rathole its not half bad and u have snow cave if ur a big tribe
Not as much of a nightmare as Gen2 where everything’s flat so you can’t get a good proper base spot that’s hidden
Does anyone even play gen 2 tho
Game modes are a matter of choice though, nothing like a challenge to get that blood pumping lol.
A few people do
ur new to the discord and from the stuff ur saying ur clearly a new player
agian ratholes
also gen 2 is just garbage in general
I’m new to the discord hit a new player just inexperienced I’ve played sense pre release
Been though the wonders of weekly new Dino’s
im sure buddy
Played before overseer tech and even S.E was a thing
They do exist but some people don’t use them because the ratholes are always a target by others
u havent even played ab
Cause I cut myself off the game a few years back around the time rag dropped
building in the open makes u a bigger target not to mention much much easier to raid
ab came out 2 years after the game did lol.
I know that’s why I said gen2 is a nightmare for most tribes if they build in the open and not use ratholes which larger tribes either use or check to make sure people aren’t sneaking around within the ratholes
and yet its the best dlc ur still a new player if u played for 2 years 10 years ago
thats not how that works lol
building in the open is a nightmare for most tribes.
I was originally an Xbox gamer and just recently got into ark on PC on Xbox I played the crap out of the game I still remember when the ark didn’t even have boss fights yet
wait till u find out about space whales and gen 1/2 even extinction kight blow ur mind
lmao ur probably jsut an ark mobile player who bought thier first xbox and thinks they understand the game as they played on thier phone

Bro how is someone a new player cause they haven’t played a map
if you haven't play 100% of the game and for 10k hours you're new 
Don't mind Mr. Spicy. He been like this all day (Or night if its night for you lol)
Truueeee
I do wanna give AB a try but doing a single play though on the island to get use to things
we're all just beach bobs in the end.
I personally haven’t played lost island or Fjordur personally which I do plan to do later on but I just don’t like lost island so I’m not gonna play that one
Aberration is an excellent map. I loved it. My second favorite.
when I played lost it felt empty 
might just be used to smaller maps or with fjordur having the teleport 
I tried it a few years back I just couldn’t get through the difficult curve is Alpha tribes blocking the tunnels still an issue?
Yeah I seen it and it felt weird to look at in general. It definitely needed more stuff I’d say
Thing is I found more enjoyment playing Gen 2 and Gen 1 then looking at gameplay of Lost island which makes me sad honestly
I dunno, I really only play Unofficial PvP servers that have good communities. I like Tribe to Tribe diplomacy and wars lol.
I remeber when the center use to be called the best map 😞
yep same. lost just didn't feel special to me
it did add a bunch of dinos to a free map but I already had the DLC so Lol
I was never a Center fan.
u bob
i bob
people either love or hate the centre
That's not a false statement.
But there was a point in the game where it was conspired the best map but to be fair that was between the island and S.E at that point
it was a huge deal as it was the first map other than the island
Center just gave me fear due to that one part of the map which was just a drop off
a reskin with less stuff lol
It was just a modded map wasn’t made by wild card
giving it a few cool creatrues and more water would be amazing
The Island will always be my favorite. Its where I became a Beach Bob for the first time.
it had 0 new creatures
wonder what the waterfall will look like in ASA 
That’s cause when it was release ark was barely even a game
I hope the center gets a revamp to be more special sense it is the ‘recreation of the island’ I’d say add an overseer fight and boom perfect
it was in early accsess for a reason blud
Bruh
yea some unique bosses would be dope
The center map was a modded map made by a single Dev
Not even touch by wildcard wild card just made it an official map cause it was so popular
its more of how early it was then made by a single person. fjordur was also made by a single person.
its like looking at early skyrim mods lol. they are so much different
True it was mainly how early it came out less assets for modders to work with
There was also crystal isle but that had a whole team behind it I think
That had a whole team behind it
Thought so
Crystal Isles was fun too.
To many I’m mainly talking about that time in arks life
Personally the most fun for me
Couldnt move with all the dinos littering the lands
The red wood update god was amazing time to play
can't even find a proper number
some say 500 while others say 2000. why is there no number lol
What are you talking about?
species of dinosaurs
Probably 500
yeah, this one says 300-700 valid genera (genus) of dinosaurs but estimated to be 1543-2468 species 
whats with those funky numbers lol
Only 20 are even useful
thats mean to all those dinosaurs lol, hope you mean in ark
Ohh your taking all Dino’s
When asa comin out
2037
yeah, like on earth lol
I wouldn’t mind having a Dino like Anchiceratops or Pentaceratops honestly
Atleast a new ceratopsian would be nice I’d say
Either that or a new large mammal like Deinotherium or Paleolaxodon
Noo my lagggggggw
Suffer from hyper mammoth lag
Wait till ark 2
Petition to make dodo rex a permanent edition to ark
What about PlayStation player's?🥲
What did first gameplay mean?
How tf is a xbox or ps supposed to run ASA if it can barely run ASE?
Unreal engine 5
its next gen only
Ye I got xbox series x
Still don't think it'll be able to run it
Have they actually tried xboxs and ps on the servers?
@slate widget
They said they have been testing it on all platforms as they build it. So it should work out
Hope so but yet again it's wildcard lmao
Ya I guess that's true haha
Assuming they haven't tested it with a cap of 70/70 as well lmao
True
Well ideally ASA will be much better optimized than ASE. ASE is soooo poorly optimized that series X should presumably run ASA better than it runs ASE
But I'm keeping my fingers crossed. ASE didn't work so well on Xbox because I think it was never really optimised for it when it came from PC.
IMO
Saw your message just I posted mine. Pretty much said what I said
Praying this game actually goes well
Wildcard don't have the best reputation with dates and bugs but anyway 🙏🙏
I really hope this is the case. I know they said it, but like, I want to see it lol. I'd love to be running a better looking version with less lag and wierd graphical glitches.
I have a good feeling about this time around. Though that could be misplaced
That's what I'm saying, saying something is different than showcasing it
I think WC has the benefit of lessons learned from ASE, more Devs, and money, and just more experience overall, compared to when ASE was in development.
So I am hopeful.
Ive lost hope really for WC, ASE was sooo poor it was painful. Just praying they can bring the game bakc
You have to remember that studio wildcard formed in 2014 and afaik they didn't have a ton of experience developing a game like Ark so the codebase afaik wasn't that great and they've just continued to build on top of it for 9 years
Exactly my point.
And now they are saying they completely redid the code base. So its not spaghetti from 9 years of development.
But now they have a shitton of experience now and a legitimate team with money to do things properly and they get to start from the ground up. So I really think ASA is going to run better than ASE
I'm a Software Engineer. I know the pain of spaghetti code. It sucks for new Devs to work with 😦
I am hopeful of this same thing.
My hype for ASA is just like when ASE Was coming out. I'm pumped.
I'm pretty optimistic and really excited tbh
Same here mate, same here.
ARK is my favorite game. I'm very happy to be getting ASA.
Yeah same I was pretty bummed when I read about the major changes to gameplay in Ark 2 so I was really excited when they said they were going to rebuild ASE from the ground up and modernize it
I'm actually just as excited for ARK 2 as I am for ASA lol. I'm interested in what they will do with ARK 2.
Ask ChatGPT my dude. Dead serious, it could help you fix that issue, I am sure.
@silent matrix Could be a number of apps -- including Nvidia.
Don't get me wrong I'm INTERESTED and I'll def check it out but I'm not a fan of the soulslike genre, I know it gets used a lot as a buzzword but yeah it really depends how it goes. Also the 3rd person only bothered me too. But it sounds like the building system is going to be really cool, and I can't wait to see the dino ai they were talking about going into Ark 2
Alt + z opens up the NVIDIA overlay.
Ahh see, I love Souls games. Even though I suck at them. I don't think I made it past the third boss in Seikiro. And my Elden Ring progress is uh... Laughable lol.
@midnight tinsel I doubt it will be soulslike. It will probably be more like Conan where you can dodge and roll out of the way and have more of a direct impact on combat.
I only have 500gb available. I really hope that is enough
Haha yeah I just lose interest so fast for whatever reason, hopefully Ark 2 offers enough to combat that for me lol
But yeah I think "souls-like" refers more to the action oriented style of combat. Less jank and more "realism" (Realism being a loose term here)
@silent matrix Sure, not sure how much help I'll be, but I can take a look and see if I recognize it.
ASE had some wonky Character combat animations lol.
Yeah exactly, you could even consider Valheim "soulslike" and I loved that so it really just depends where on the spectrum of soulslike it falls
Yeah for sure.
Ark combat = run in circles and shoot at the barn sized thing.
Yep lol
Shoot the barn size thing -and miss- xD
The movement system in ARK always left me wanting. I'd prefer a more RPG style of strafing and your character you know, actually turns lol.
I mean I never played Ark for the fluidity of the combat. At some point, you just embrace the jank.
One thing I wish is that PVE had PVE enemies like world bosses, enemy NPC tribes. Organized dino packs that think and attack structures/bypass defenses.
Give you a good reason to build solid defenses in PVE
Sounds like you need the wonderful world of ARK Mods 🙂
Humn NPC mod is pretty cool looking.
Im a console heathen T_T wife and daughter took my PC
Crossing fingers
Oof. Pain.
@granite warren Unseat the RAM so they think it's broken. "Throw it away" and hide it under a sheet in the garage.
Haha not a bad idea but i feel like looking behind me in case they walk in on me gaming would be more stressful than getting jumped by a giga while mining metal
Are there mods in PC that gives you smart dinos and enemy Npc tribes tho?
If you can think of it, there's a mod for it.
Ark is one of the modded games in history.
Like a raptor pack that navigates thru your defenses to look for vulnerable spots would give a ton of tension in pve games
It’s certainly one of the most game in history all right xD
Not sure about that specific one. I know there was a purge mod where dinos attacked your base en masse.
Ooo that’s not bad, tower defense isn’t such a bad thing either
Something to look forward to for ASA when it decides to finally drop
There's a Human NPCs mod where they build bases and raid you too.
Hmm
Mods kept ARK fresh for me for a loooooooong time.
Stayed completely vanilla
Stack mods alone are a life saver.
I'm mostly vanilla. I normally add the simple dino tracker because I hate losing dinos in the woods because I run too fast and additional lighting because if I can make an assault rifle out of penguin parts I can wire a table lamp.
I had to think about that one for a long time
I usually do mods that add new creatures. After ARk slowed down creature additions I wanted new beasts to tame lol.
Not much of a builder, I do like meeting new dinos. Additions is awesome and really cool ways to tame them.
Oh yeah Additions is cool. I also like Rare Sightings
Still have to try that, busy doing Island Extension CIE on singleplayer when Im not on the server. Brings all the biomes and all Ark creatures (except Phoenix), all ascensions and a few of the other bosses to the Island map. It's cool because changing maps on single is/was always a bad experience. Plays well with Additions too.
Alright, it's 1230 AM. Off to bed. Hope for good news in the morning.
Its 2:50PM for me 😮
Alright, when exploring caves, mining helmet or night vision goggles?
Gamma 2 or 3😼
Any idea why i don't get the option to pick up a shoulder pet?
Is there an option to enable or disable them?
What are those?
It’s a console command that changes brightness for you it’s super useful
Take a look about them
Or just tab or tilde key whichever one it was and type gamma 2
do you know if they will still have it in ASA
Ahh, I see, so console commands
Hmmm, maybe I can just bring my argy into caves with a pokeball to stand more of a fighting chance
so we are getting the ark ascended this 25th?
the gameplay trailer
oh ok
No but i would assume they’d maybe get slight backlash for it but I believe it’s going to be in it too
They wouldn’t take out the console commands so why would they take out that one
For ASA, only The Island will be avaliable at launch right?
Yes
I just hope there's no more ini
Cool
Still getting end of month release for ASA?
Yes
They haven't delayed it officially but I have my doubts
Trailer is coming the 25th
Don’t they have the contract ?
I cant see them wanting to lose money so I think even if the game is horrible they will release it
How do you know they haven't extended it? It's not like it's public
While
Why would they
Because if you look at it like that the company who has the contract will make more money
Well if the game isn't ready why would they not extend the contract
Because of all the money that the snail games would get
they lose money if it's not out this month
they lose money either way but more if they miss the deadline
They could just release it and let it be horrible they could always update just like when ark it self came out
God it was horrible
I cant wait to play tbh
Nor can I, even if it was a piece of shit I’d still buy it

But I trust wild card I think it will be a good game
Still I hate snail games
And they would screw us for money the first chance they get
I just hope they deal with cheaters better
Including not banning the innocent in the crossfire
The radio silence is odd though for something that is supposedly going to release in less than a week.
Which is what happened to me and lost my 6 yrs old account
I hope there’s actually new things in the game, rather than it just being a copy and paste with better graphics
Yes this is very bad on their part
(Not just new Dino’s )
notl if you've been around for ages though right? WC hae always done this
*ahem* baby dinos, new creatures per map, 1/2 new dlcs, improved AI and pathfinding
Will I be fine in the caves without ammo for my shotgun if I smuggle in a high level argy or would I still need firepower?
Your not wrong haha
Yes this is all good true true but I hope it’s enough to actually keep my interest
how you gonna use argy in cave
I think they could have done more but its good, let them focus on gameplay and mot marketing
Because mods are half the game currently
ngl ark alone is enough to keep my interest
I mean baby dinos aren’t new for mods nor are new creatures
I’m willing to put some good hours into Asa
And see where it goes
Ark was the first steam game I ever bought
the better graphic alone would sell it to me ngl
I'd smuggle it in through a pokeball, then use its high attack stat to better survive the caves
Haha actually me too
If they still have ini it won't matter anyways
i dont think you can mount it in caves
Since everyone on official will just remove everything
I’m mostly a single player so mods are a big part for me
why? why would i use pvp ini in pve 😂
Yeah, I'm just a pvp official pleb
Crossplay tho omg crossplay
Just for this I’d buy it
I can play with my friend now finally so that will be amazing
...I can't?
Goddammit
Maybe there’s a setting or command like the old ark
depends on if you allowed it in the settings
(Unless ur in servers )
in official map caves you cant, in unofficial map caves you always can
Notably the artifact ones
Gn
night
It's been a few years since i last played, you can in small cave bases no?
As long as they don't have artifacts or drops I don't think it dismounts you
depends on settings, still
if you enabled cave flyers, you can
if not, you cant in official (artifact) caves. not sure if that only counts for artifact caves
you can mount regular not-flying dinos though
I thought the cave flyers setting was only to allow the spawning of fliers in caves, which sounds disastrous
no
that would be weird as fuck
fliers spawn anyway ||onyc >:(||
an imprint thyla is a really good cave dino
bring med brews, the thyla and good armor and you should be fine
But the expensive af extraordinary kibble needed to tame those
or also a dire bear
mutton
I have zero mammals aside from a megatherium
arent they rather b i g
Mutton is also incredibly expensive and rare
i ran the cave first time yesterday
regular prime meat does as well
it was ez asf but u need cryopods
you just need to tame two high levels and breed them and bam you use the baby thyla
are you on the island?
mhm
some of the caves on the island are incredibly difficult, have fun ^^
water caves 💀
the swamp cave can be easily done with a megatherium and a scuba gear. just spam right click
Yea ik, i leveled my megatheriums there
good choice
but can you answer a few questions about breeding
sure
Oh yeah, I have a high level megatherium!
Will I be fine not bringing any firearm ammo into the cave east of grand hill?
Should be, i think i did it with only a tame
How do stats carry on? Does it depend on sex?
do you know about stat points
the cave left of the hill betwee the volcano and the mountain right to the volcano?
I'd show a screenshot of the location, but can't
you can dm
Alright, I'll fly on over to the location and provide a screenshot in DMs
you can also just tell me the coords
Dinos spawn with a random level each level gives one stat point. So if dino is level 76 it has 75 stat points placed randomly, 75 becaus level 0 dinos dont exist. After taming it gets a little foggy for me.
ok good
Oh I don't know the coords. I never bring a GPS because coords useless to me
i think he means the cave with the hunter artifact
u can place pins on your map by pressing P and then using gps
Wait I can? I never knew that
after taming, theres a 50% level taming bonus. if your tame is level 100, it will max get 49 levels extra, because you cant get 100% taming efficiency, meaning 50%-1 level bonus. each of these levels counts as one randomly assigned stat point as well, increasing the creatures stats further. now when breeding, for each stat there is, a dice is rolled. 55% that the baby will get the higher stat points from whichever parent it is, 45% to get the lower amount of stat points.
oops i meant clever, artifact of the clever
anyone playing ark rn???
ok so lets say i have a Female megatherium with 32k hp and a male megatherium with 800% meele damage. I want to combine the stats. Does that mean i need to breed as long as a female pops out with correct stats?
when breeding, you count stats with stat points, not the actual stat. dino storage V2 helps with that. but if the 32k hp and 800% melee damage are the higher stat, you breed again and again until those stats are combined, although you have the extra 5% of the higher stat on your side TWICE, so it is more likely for both stats to be combined than not
ill get the mod ig
Anyone know where i can get a good Basilo?
I used to have good ones on official...
but that is all gone now 😦
How do you overcome the addiction and not play 8-10 hours a day
I don't LOL
it adds pokeballs/cryos, which show you the stat points when hovering over them. it also shows for babies if they have the good stat or not, in parantheses behind the stat. for example if one parent has 30 in hp and the other 42 in hp, if it gets the 30, it will say 30 (-12) for hp. you can check the babies that way, until you get the one you want, means one that doesnt show red negative values behind the health and melee stat points
Gen 1 ocean biome
generally in the ocean
Maybe someone can sell me one?
for what?
how to switch language in the gamepass version?
I never bought anything on unofficial yet
@heavy cedar can u make a competition where people post screen shots of their ark hours gameplay?
if someone were to sell you a basi, what would you give him for that
which stats important, wild or tamed?
I have no idea what someone would want yet
Yo like 20 us back in the day
right i forgot to mention, the tame boost counts to wild stats, while manual levelups count as tamed stats. only the wild stats matter when breeding, they are on the left side
I played on official for years and money was a no no so we used tek or element to pay for items
real life money is illegal here. in game trade, sure
Yeah I would never partake in that lulz
im screwed then, my running speed is the highest
no, the dice 55%/45% is rolled for EVERY stat on its own
running speed doesnt matter how much you have there (wild), dinos will all be at 100%
ah yes
You can get running speed from breeding
it wont matter
speed mutations for example are wasted mutations because they do literally nothing except increase the level by 2
Someone told me you can get 255 mutations per stat
255 in total
i can dm you with a more detailed explanation
Per stat
aight
no not quite. a mutation adds 2 level points to a stat. you can have a max of 255 level points per stat.
what is the max mutated levels?
25th what does it mean
Means tune in to find out
fuck
Lol no news just maybes
Again. Fuck
255 max level points.... what is the max level a dino can get?
Someone told me you can get level 1073... or something close to that
255+255+255+255+255+255+254+88+1
1873?
That is a monster of a dino
anyway.... I am still looking for a Basilo... if anyone wants to be generous and provide me with one... or a mating pair... I would be very greatful 🙂
Give me a mating pair and i will give you back 5 pairs when i breed them
On officials dino levels cap at 450 for regular creatures, 500 for tek and such. On unofficials or single player depends on how you set it.
Regardless the whole thing could be different with ASA so we gotta wait and see
I hope they remove the cap on dinos. Hopefully there won't be a rogue GM again!
I'm so glad megalodons aren't strict piscavores and are carnivores
You post the most inane shit haha
Why is that inane?
Hey guys is it true that pachyrhino drain knocked out dinos stamina?
I wonder the same thing
🏀
With normal official settings Dino’s cap at level 450 no matter what. You cannot level them higher
It means prepare for a massive disappointment
Average discord user
Max dino level is 450 so that will limit the mutations a bit. If the level cap is higher than 450 then we're talking about some unofficial server that has stupid level cap settings. Even 450 is totally op.
lol
Is there a channel to find people to play with on ark?
err, if you play pvp there is #1110949794907684965, but just to play with peeps idk
Another average discord user
Try sdf
Sdf?
Cheat sdf dodo 1 150
that was fast

Oh. I mean on official
Does any1 know if you can put mods in ASA at lauch? Sucks to not have cryopods. So dino storage will be helpfull
If cryos never existed, everyone would be satisfied with ASA not having them either.
If ark never existed you wouldn't be here either
It's a pointless argument
Well ofc if you want to argue for the sake of arguement. Folks just can't adjust their expectations and just accept ASA as a new game. Might as well stick with the old game if you want things to be as they were.
what is going to be the first ASA dlc?
I never liked cryos, it beats the purpose of the game imo, like raiding. And with the new meshing and hopefully Dino’s not getting stuck it will be fun seeing people going to war
@viral shore @tall minnow @heavy cedar @peak finch @indigo robin
DAY 3 of being disappointed until ASA realeases
Case #35866 @radiant locust has been muted for 2 hours.
Reason: Mass Tagging
Cryos have their place. and help with some stuff. but make it worse in others.
No cryos to start. not a big issue. . specially if what they said is true. "that they need to test the servers and how it handles with alots of Wild and tamed dinos.
But on the other side of things. I just hope they will do something about people leaving dinos at oblisks. or just all over.
Just means on offical no dinos will spawn like it was on some legacy servers. Breeders will have dino capped the servers making them laggy as hell
understandable. but if they are using it to test the performance of servers and UE 5. then it is also a good thing to know the limits.
and if people are all that worried about dino caps and not having cryos. then start playing when Cryopods are being given to the maps.
I guess my military training kicks in. Adapt, Improvise and Overcome. I work with what is given to me. and deal with it. Advise to make changes and hope they come. if not. I move on to something else.
Cant wait to have 20 fps in a base
They should just make it so dino's only breed in a mode that effectively turns them in to blocks with zero ai burden, you could still have them animated on the client side. If the server is dino capped you wouldn't be able to take them out of breeding mode though.
There are many options they could persue instead of just hiding dino's in pokeballs
there are many ways to overcome dino cap. f.e. to stop spawning new dinos when cap is reached
this way mega breeders wouldn't have enough meat for their dinos
same for pillars - why not introduce a pillar cap. like 500 pillars pro tribe
this I would like to see
ofc smart gamers would find a solution for this limit too
some servers have a tribe structure cap. and I thought official did also. but always a way around that too. create a tribe with one person in it. and just pillar and area. and just render it. lots of tribes have done this already.. including the same with mega breeders. they just create a 2nd/3rd/4th tribe. and just keep certain dinos in each tribe. or even other servers.
what was it that caused the pillar spam in the fist place? the cannons being used to destroy base defenses so you have to pillar far out to stop that?
for PvP.. to stop FoBs. and for PvE.. to keep people away from you, so your FPS was not lagged by their bases to close. Some people like to be hermits.
no real way to stop it then other than make it so you can build next to each others buildings then wake up every day to find your base walled in
Mega breeders would use the cap to limit the ressources of others and the possibility to get a good line
I have experienced tame cap on Ragnarok and also the tricks, how to handle it There was tame cap per sector and not over entire map.
Private server would work like that but Official mega tribes would simply tame cap every sector to dominate, as they did similiar to build over every drop spawn and obelisk so the char was stuck
My idea was not tame cap but dino overall cap
how do i force heal an argentavis?
feed raw meat. goes faster when it has the GREEN +, from a recent kill.
k ty
Quiet typical ark stan
A child like you who believes shit is gonna go good when wildcard goes is crazy ong
Unstoppable doubt meets immovable belief, ultimate clash
They have said multiple times that everything is on track for release.
on their elastic track, ye
Yea but wildcard has almost never met deadlines. This game was already pushed back a few times.
I do think its releasing within the next week or so, but I know we're gonna have some fresh new bugs to play with.
The big thing here is new engine, that's gonna change how alot of systems like gen 2 will act internally, so I'm excited to see what pops up.
Can't wait to see some dude manage to being a level 100,000,000 giga into official somehow
e behavior reminds me of a strict boss and his employees. The boss sets deadlines that the workers can't meet to get 130% performance out of them.
Wildcard is known for: "fix one, break two"
In gonna treat the first few months as test months, I know we're gonna see alot of server wipes and restarts as major issues get patched out.
That all said, I still look forward to the release, because I enjoy the pvp. When it works.
I have faith that it will release on time. I bought ark in 2015 so I understand the disappointment delays bring.
Wildcard already tested and certified 🙂
10$ says dedicated pvp players from Germany or something will discover how to get out of map bounds within the first two weeks.

Won't be the Germans. They've been the nicer of folks I've played with. I'm gonna say Americans

I hope that PVE official servers allow us to clip structures into terrain like you can in single player
The last one I played with straight up made a narcotic gas chamber, where tf you meeting your dudes at
The creator of the new structures is the guy who made s+ so ideally this will be the case.
Otherwise I'm gonna go live in unofficial again
I played Official for the 4 out of the last 5 years.. then went unofficial bc time/job.
I really hope so it would enhance the PVE gameplay
Plus in my eyes in makes so sense to have it disabled in PVE
It would enhance all gameplay.
Pvp suffers so much because of placement, it's actually aids.
Gotta pray this tiny little bump in the ground won't block building, otherwise there's now a giant fking hole in your base for anyone to get into from.
Noo.. if you are a good PvPer, you should always have something to clear foundations with you at all times..
ASE pvp deteriorated into a whole circus. Shit sucked. The only people playing still were older or mentally unstable. Nothing against either of those groups of ppl but omg it was unplayable after genesis. Even extinction was too much. Power creep never stopped.
By this they mean rocks or terrain that cant be removed.
Net gun was the best part of gen 2.
Made pvp playable again, no more Manas, no more wyverns, felt good
Net gun made pvp easier for 40 year old single dads who can't use anything that requires more than 1 hand
Manas were bad too. Wyverns were totally fine imo. Not sure about the tropical ones
I hear you dad. :3
I don't like games deleting forms of skill expression >_> like ik ark players are pretty casual but it makes it boring with the lack of variety
Look at dis guy, all sweaty lol.
This
And I'm old af
I mean yeah you shouldnt cap skill expression. I like seeing variety. Not whole raids where every participant has the same hotbar and tames. Gets slow and stale fast. Also wtf were shadowmanes
There were other ways dealing with wyverns and manas already.
pov: only lvl 40 wyvern eggs
I think for PvE all of the later stuff was probably super refreshing
Unlucky, which map
Use for a basilisk
God forbid players use something that makes life easier
Somebody with 1 arm, no eyesight, pressing keys with their nose like a chicken eating corn shouldn't be able to compete with somebody putting 5000 hours into the game and mastering its complexities
Fair doesn't mean everything is equal. If you're bad you should be punished for it. That's the only reason pvp exists
It really wasn't that bad, it was qol more than anything
Bro don't come at me like that. Chicken Scratching is the only way I can play.
Maybe you just weren't good enough to keep up
Are you your tribes PvE farmer?
I could use a net gun and kill anybody I had no issue keeping up
The only way to keep up should be skilless and boring. It was too easy. That's my complaint. It wasn't balanced at all
Shouldnt*
Woops
Same thing as tranq people.... Just slightly easier to aim
The only time I ever used them for pvp was if someone was trying to pick me . Otherwise it's qol
Try tranqing a guys wyvern after he picks you off a desmodus because you suck at the game. It's impossible. You can't Bola it either. But it's impossible to miss the net gun and suddenly you have the advantage
If I land a good pick on another player I SHOULDNT BE THE ONE losing
Sounds like you need to get better at countering nets lmao
If its not hard, then why you having so much trouble?
I'm not
Sounds like someone got raided with nets and is just salty now
Then why you complaining? Sounds like you just can't handle the net, so you want it nerfed. Just how it looks.
Real skilled people don't complain, they just win.
I'm complaining because I'm better than everybody here. Sorry if that sounds super egotistical. Maybe it is. But I'm the one that's spent thousands of hours abusing net guns, shadowmanes, and fjordhawks. If people don't account for specific things. They auto lose even if they ARE better. I have to account for them to win. And I do. I hate having to. I want my tames to be useful. I want all of my cool dinos to be valuable. I want my skill to matter more than it does using nets.
I'm sure bobs with 2 braincells hard at work farming ARB all day enjoy the added safety cushions but it really just subtracts from diversity. There are never any cool fun raids anymore. No innovation or creativity. It's all copy pasted. I've done the same fight a hundred or more times now with nets and it's mind numbing
just dont play ark pvp?
I can sympathize as an ex console player because doing more mechanically intensive things or precise actions are a nightmare on controller. I'm not sure what I'd do to fix that.
"Stop criticizing the things you love in hopes that they can be improved". That's a really bad way to look at what I'm saying. I love ark. I loved pvp. I know it has rly good potential.
Average discord user
With well over 10k hours I can say that your complaint is based off of your play style, while I agree that net guns need some fixes (specifically distances required to shoot, IE: you need to be far enough away for the net to open to the size of your target) the play style of a YOLO rusher and the style of someone that makes the enemy go into a trap or choke point are going to be completely different and each of them is going to hate certain things the other has the advantage of. I heard lots of complaints during the plant Y wars when those were a meta, first week of Rag one side hated the griffin and wanted it nerfed, other side wanted saddles. But this game isn’t a round based shooter, it has multiple metas if you can utilize them.
I think Meks on launch of extinction shooting turrets from out of range, and Magmasaurs somehow having the sane flaw in the dlc directly following, demonstrate perfectly how little thought goes into balancing for pvp before content is released. It's probably not even 1% of the total time spent. And that's a huge chunk of the playerbase suffering from that. Mainly the most dedicated pvp enjoyers. I don't think long lasting metas where all of the strongest things are also the easiest to use end up being a good thing ever. It kills a lot of the fun for a lot of the playerbase. Even if it's not a majority, it's a passionate minority of people and putting a little more effort into taking care of their needs would work wonders. Content creation for ark has been mostly dead ever since Kishko left ages ago and I don't blame him and the other legends for quitting when they did.
It's simple nets counter the most important part of the game (dinos) without any type of skill, they should be made so they can't net players and tame ddinos and dats it
They have no place in this game
Just use a Dino that can't be netted 💀
Trueee don't use what you like, use something boring so you don't lose to equally boring players
You have the intelligence of a doormat and you let wildcard walk on you all the same. That's sad. Criticism isn't crying. I'm better than you. And I know more about the game. Enough said.
What a dense person
Do we know ASA's price for each country or will we not know until release?
Bro is on to nothing 🗣🔥🔥
ark
Oh you're like, 12. Nevermind sorry for the insults and stuff I'm sure you'll be a fine young man one day.
anyone making big official tribes for asa ?
Hahaha shut up loser
But does the toilet glitch still work 💩?
I’d imGine not
I am groot
Constructive feedback and criticism isn't crying I just like the game and wanna see it get better.
🤢🤢omg nets so hard I cry 🤢🤯
19 Dms always open 💀💀
Net your own Dino and cut it problem solved stop being a dope
stop yapping aint nobody reading allat
or boost yourself with a mammoth everywhere u go
Few people did and agreed
on a real note shut the hell up nobody that can change anything is gonna see ur message and then change it so just stoo trying
nets are fine, they just fk u up in dedi, easy to counter in offi
get used to a hatchet in your bar
Ong
First time player here. Built a starter. Tamed a bird flew inland a little to a mountain side made some metal. Now I'm lost at what to do. Lol game has been fun
There's zero actual conversation happening forgot how empty headed public chat rooms are past 7am when the kids get up for class. Peace. I'll own you on ascended 👋
Bro just pt pvps and gets mad that people can dismount them
Join mega tribe and become slave 🫠
can’t own anybody if you can’t unnet yourself
You get wiped by thatch hut bobs with parasaurs please calm it 🙏🙏
As in join a public server?
I see official servers are shut down
I don’t know where to ask this but can you customize drops with a server you host?
Yep as long as you have access to ini files.
@heavy cedar Will there be an option for customizable crosshair in Ark ASA?, similar to fps games like cs2.
anyone know when trailer is?
Is this your 1st time playing ark
when is asa comin out
will you guys also launch the trailer on your yt channel?
Is anybody really excited for the added challenge of increased AI pathfinding and the inability to put points in speed? I feel venturing on foot, into more hostile areas, and even scouting enemy bases are going to have to take planning and prepardness.
On a single player run is there a way to get all endgram points on console?
its going to be a hot mess, especially if they don't revert it and Ab drops. Majority of players can not surivive on Ab with movement speed, dont expect them to even make it to the blue zone without movement speed.
Wait what? We can’t boost speed on land critters now too?
Adapt lol, you can tame ravagers without move speed. Then your free to use ziplines
Or your character. I believe random points can be added via taming efficiency and breeding, but I’m not 100% on that.
I just woke up and my day is ruined
Sorry….😬
Does Asa have a confirmed date?
The taming efficiency won't add any move speed. If breeding still does that will actually kinda suck because it will mean pvp without 100% imprint is gonna be rough
Lack of move speed bobs makes the game an actual survival game, and makes tek suits actually valuable.
Difficulty is getting raised.
I'm excited for it.
Move speeds can enjoy their unofficials
Especially without cryos its gonna be like, welp I missed an imprint. Just kill it and start over
That kind of raises the stock of some dinos i guess. Iguanadon, equus. Even raptors i guess. Yeah I’m kind of here for it. I’m playing official regardless
I just really enjoy making the game more of a “survival.” It’ll make the world around you actually dangerous again. Same thing with how nanite and lumen from UE5 will add such difference between light and dark.
Lumen lighting shouldn't be a thing, they should leave it to lumen reflections at best.
Lumen lighting is still very heavy, and with ark as dense as it is, it's gonna hit video card resources real hard.
And yea, raptor packs, wolves, sabers, etc, all actually pose a legit threat again, instead of going move speed and out running every threat in existence.
I'm hyped for it, can't wait to see what meta changes the lack of movespeed causes, if any
Are nanite and lumen light engines?
Look up on YouTube "unreal engine 5, nanite" and then "unreal engine 5, lumen"
Nanite is a system to make static meshes run significantly better, and reduce memory required. So instead of 10 level of detail models per every static model like a rock or tree, you have 1 model, that uses nanite to dynamically change lod depending on your pixel density.
Lumen, while a really cool bit of lighting software, is still very heavy. And the more complex the geometry gets, the harder lumen is to run.
A forest scene with dynamic swaying bushes, grass, trees, with giant moving dinos that effect that foliage, is going to nuke some people's graphics cards.

You can't tame a Wild Magmasaur, you need to raise one by hatching a fertilized egg, like wyvers
One message removed from a suspended account.
Just give me all the bells and whisels they can throw at me, I am missing a game like "Can it run Crysis" or "Can it run Quake" or the orginal "Can it run Doom"
On a single player run is there a way to get all endgram points on console?
Anything can run doom.
I seen it played recently using bacteria or somethin
Back when it came out, you needed to buy a new computer.
We're talking about original doom right
Yes 🙂
Ark will be looked on like that at some point 😄 people buying new computers back in 2015 to run it
You need to go to the Magmasaur cave in the volcano island, the entrance is at 95.9 - 80.6, inside the wyvern pit. Eggs spawn at the nest inside that cave
I hope we get something better than a gps in asa
I think that they reworked the map and minimap in ASA?
I am not sure if that is a rumor or official
"New mini-map system (pan, zoom, pings, etc.)"
From CC 381
I hope its not a literal mini map that is added to the HUD
Good, cause unless I see it in writing from them, it is speculation and wishes
It should be the hand map improved
What we don't know is if all of those changes will be there day one
it would be nice is the map was something you upgraded to be better
Can someone explain to me how does crossplay work and windows/steam version stuff?
You can check that information in the comunnity crunch 381
guys ark ascended come tomorrow? or after tomorrow???
If u want crossplay play the Xbox/win10 version, simple
I am sitting here waiting on one of the mods to come online and general to go nuts again with speculation, it is fun to watch them hyping themself up.
no crossplay on steam version?
Not on launch, later
ty
Later means 2026
u dont know where come out ark ?
Achsually it will be on december🤓
Well prob know tomorrow, during that Xbox thing
If youre looking to play ASA Small Tribes message me, no casuals / new players!
Wait for tomorrow reveal, no one knows here.
kk
I am wondering if the xbox thing will mean it works and has been optimized for it, and the pc version of ark will run like cyperpunk did on release for consols
#1110949794907684965 idk if u have a message alrdy but use this, it's very good big profit
I bet every single casual player will message you now.. just to annoy you
One message removed from a suspended account.
Whats wrong with asking for no casuals/new players lol
People are assholes
Na, no one will want to join some random weirdo on the internet, they are to weird to join someone else 😛
We aint a clue at all 
I hope they learned to CP's launch
Its Wildcard sooo.....
ASE runs like shit
because everyone is different. you may see someone being a bob and you may think they are, and thats because everyone plays the game differently
It is strange that it does not run much better on the system i have now, vs the system i had in 2015
😂😂
When I started Ark i was SUCH a noob, the mistakes I made....
now you can reapeat it:)
A new player can't be good bro
I hope not
new ark - new noob
Creisi
bro its impossible to find a few peeps to play with on pvp if you're a bob, on ase i tried pvp a few times, a few people took me in to their tribes(i told them clearly i had no clue what i was doin) and they still got mad toxic when i did smth dumb
My biggest wish for asa is that they put the inventory key on the tap key
Wildcard will give you enough chances to tap in new honeypots
cant u do that urself with keybinds?
I can, but I am lazy and want it as default 😄
I’d def recommend some irl friends to play with. That’s what I did and even if my friend did some some stuff I couldn’t be mad
ah i see how it is lol
Makes it more fun imo
where is the best place to talk about mods?
blud my friends are as bob, if not bigger bobs then me
no "i" makes the most sense for inventory
That’s the best part trying to figure out what to do together
Being amazing at the game isn’t always the most fun part
yea, ig its fun. But i usually dont get further then a small base with indie forge before i get obliterated by someone who plays 10 hours a day
Play small tribes in the new game
Wont be no raid but at least everyone will be starting the same point
"Over time we’ll be releasing 11 Brand-new creatures (More than any previous DLC expansions)"
Do you think the new creatures will be voted like the last ones?
It’s what I’m doing at least
Be better
I've always been a dedi Bob. Looking forward to asa official.
i want to, buti have to gether enough friens who wanna play with me, i atleast need 1
true
I don’t think so I think those creatures were only meant to make some maps new
How do I set the average level for wild dinos higher?
WHERE is the best place to talk about mods?
difficulty higher means higher levels
The one in the game settings or files works as well?
if you just set the slider from game settings higher before u join ur world the new dinos that spawn should be higher lvls
Max level as well?
thats a seperate setting, idk which one it was
Hey so will the win10 version be considered Xbox like it used to be or would I still have to wait until cross play comes out?
On a single player run is there a way to get all endgram points on console?
Tbh hoping it’s not considered Xbox until crossplay
I’ve met hackers on Xbox using that feature
Or until they prove the anti cheat works
Crossplay will be available day 1 with Windows, Xbox, and PS. You can join console only servers though.
Steam will be crossplay later.
I have an old cluster thats going official and want us to play so I was hoping I'd be able to play but if I have to wait the steam version always runs better

Thank you
