ark-survival-ascended

[spare lotus]

although it wont be as expensive as smth like tears of the kingdom so i will take what I get

TOTK is like 90 something AUD its hefty

[craggy umbra]

still a ripoff

[spare lotus]

We havent even seen the game yet we cant say if its a rip off just yet

[royal forum]

I'm actually very happy with the fee structure given how much effort must have gone into revitilizing it

[winged hamlet]

for a game you can spend literally thousands of hours playing, it's a good price

[royal forum]

exactly

[amber cedar]

Pump action is 122.6%
Double barrel is 173.1%

[winged hamlet]

i put in 9k hours into ASE

[quaint rivet]

where will they air the trailer?

[winged hamlet]

that was well worth the money, even when i had to buy the expansion maps

[quaint rivet]

9k hours dear lord

[teal edge]

i thought it would be 35$?

[winged hamlet]

no, $40 on launch

[teal edge]

fml

[bleak arch]

Hi

[teal edge]

yeh gonna have to watch streams for this one

[quaint rivet]

ah twitch or youtube?

[teal edge]

twitch

[quaint rivet]

how do you know

[teal edge]

??

[ruby night]

Will be a delay on trailer, then we'll get a trailer an hour after the game goes up for sale 🤣

[quaint rivet]

i dont think the game will be available tommorow tho

[teal edge]

its coming out friday

[ruby night]

I don't think the trailer will be either

[bleak arch]

When is the release date ARK ?

[ruby night]

27th

[quaint rivet]

no release date

[versed summit]

chanel?

[quaint rivet]

just gameplay tommorow

[ruby night]

Release date clause in their contract with nitrado

[winged hamlet]

my guess is tuesday release

[teal edge]

no like il watch other streamers play im not getting paied till next month so no ark for me lmao

[royal forum]

Im also guessing a Tuesday release

[teal edge]

would be intressting to see how this game is though

[amber cedar]

What would be better to bring to the central cave in The Island, a 122.6% apprentice pump action shotgun or a 173.1% double barrel shotgun?

[ruby night]

If they do, they owe nitrado money

[quaint rivet]

yeah well hear about it

[winged hamlet]

a bary, half the cave is underwater with lots of pirahna

[royal forum]

October release. Tuesday... Still October

[versed summit]

Why would they miss the weekend? Most can only play on the weekend, so it will be Friday

[quaint rivet]

i dont think it will be released in octobor

[ruby night]

Nitrado gave them an exact date, not a month to release

[winged hamlet]

if you release on tuesday, you have monday to prep, tuesday to launch, and the rest of the week to fix issues that pop up

[amber cedar]

I thought that underwater part of the cave was optional and not required to reach the artifact at the end

[royal forum]

Why would they push a game on a Friday and spend all weekend fixing issues

[quaint rivet]

hahah true

[winged hamlet]

friday release means paying overtime or leaving problems for monday

[night obsidian]

Arkerist
Arkhoholic
Arkist

[ruby night]

If they don't release on time, they violate the contract with nitrado

If they do that, well never see ark 2

[topaz pine]

Honestly I hope it release Friday regardless

[quaint rivet]

so they will release it 27?

[exotic folio]

should i use a rex or bronto for my ryniognatha?

[quaint rivet]

haha i hope so as well

😄

[winged hamlet]

where do we see a specific date for the contract?

[topaz pine]

I’ll stick with the bugs till Monday lol

[winged hamlet]

all i've heard is sometime this month they have to release

[ruby night]

Little research

[topaz pine]

They said everything’s on schedule, I think it’s to late to delay it now at this point

[quaint rivet]

Its oke guys tommorow we will know everything

[ruby night]

Nitrado made the contract because they know wildcard hasn't released anything on time ever

[night obsidian]

A giga

[blazing flint]

The contract they hold has been quite a big Focus last couple months

[amber cedar]

Alright, hopefully I'll have better luck with the double barrel shotgun

[silent owl]

I don't care how many bugs there are, I just want to jump into the game lol

[exotic folio]

well time to craft a ton of electric tranqs

[night obsidian]

Thank you Nitrado for giving ark employees the carrot and the whip

[heady nebula]

Nah taming hella troodons

[topaz pine]

I’m with that

[craggy torrent]

So when gen 2 dlc comes for ASA, is the ending cutscene gonna say “ark 2 2026”? Cuz that will be hilarious

[exotic folio]

yeah i had one but it died cause i was flying near a carchar then i ran out of stam

[ruby night]

2030 I thought

[topaz pine]

I think I’ll like ASA over ark 2 tbh

[exotic folio]

i was told 2070

[topaz pine]

Aint that the truth 😂

[heady nebula]

GTA 6 before ark 2 would be crazy

[ruby night]

Most probably will, if they really go souls like combat, a lot will turn away from the game

[craggy torrent]

The whole reason Asa exists is for Ark 2. ☠️☠️

[topaz pine]

Yeah souls like survival games aren’t the move imo

[heady nebula]

Its 2 difference type of games so yikes

[ruby night]

Yeah, IMO it's a money grab and that's why it's dropping early access again

[oak sigil]

When is ASA released

[ruby night]

Gives them a lot of protection

[heady nebula]

ASA is sticking around if it succeeds why play ark 2 if its a different gameplay?

People like the OG ark not some souls open world shit lol

[lament dagger]

[royal forum]

It's in section 2.1 (b) of their contract

[night obsidian]

👀

[exotic folio]

well i'm bored time to eat sky giga pheromone

[night obsidian]

Have some bed time with a giga

[amber cedar]

Dammit, I should have brought veggie cakes for my gigantopithecus and my doed

[gentle ivy]

ASA HYPE!

[ruby night]

That's if they even keep working on the game

[craggy torrent]

It’s gonna cater to a different population of players that will like the souls combat style instead. There is already a growing population of players that haven’t played ark in years.

[exotic folio]

aw hell yeah giant female giga

[cold tulip]

Send the contract plz

[night obsidian]

Extra thick

[heady nebula]

Its 2 different games lol

[cold tulip]

@royal forum you can dm it to me

[ruby night]

I know, but ASA dropping in early access, they could literally get island and scorched going solid, and never update it again

[heady nebula]

I am one of those players who stopped playing ark for multiple years been waiting for a reason to come back and work’s starting to slow down 🙂

[potent heath]

Anyone know where I can go to buy ASA I can't find it anywhere

[royal forum]

PMd

[heady nebula]

But that won’t happen ark players will rage you saw what happened last week when that last CC came out lmao

[ruby night]

Not for sale until it releases

[amber cedar]

Aww dangit, my level 200+ doed fell into the water. Though it doesn't look like the piranhas are attacking it

[potent heath]

Oh ok thank you

[ruby night]

Won't matter, tons will have already paid for it

[craggy torrent]

Would be cool if they took the dungeons from ark mobile and put them into the Asa, if they haven’t already.

[heady nebula]

Just trust me lol

[gentle ivy]

ASA HYPE!

[ruby night]

I trust that companies don't care about their consumers

[past sentinel]

ASA was decided to be made because of the split in community about Ark 2 to provide an original Ark experience as well to help fund Ark 2 development.

Both will be supported.

[night obsidian]

I hope everyone buys and asa is just empty

[heady nebula]

We knew this but this is a revamp of ark 1

[heady nebula]

This

[ruby night]

I know it is, but also look at meshing and duping, and hacking, been around since day 1, with no fix

[heady nebula]

New scripts in ASA

NEW ANTI CHEAT 💀

[ruby night]

Some script, they didn't record the whole game

[night obsidian]

Lets goooooo fck cheaters

[heady nebula]

We will see how it is regardless people will find a way to cheat

[weary jasper]

Are there gonna be unofficial PC servers for console on day 1?

[ruby night]

Yeah, look at all the different anti cheat CoD has used, it doesn't help

[heady nebula]

🤣

[sage thunder]

Release wednesday, nothing else makes sense.

[heady nebula]

Next week

[livid wadi]

shadow drop

[frosty ivy]

The same day as trailer?

[heady nebula]

Would be such a troll

[weary jasper]

Probably this weekend or next week

[sage thunder]

Yeah, let's release on a holiday.

[sage thunder]

Why release in the weekend and have people working overtime when they can just release it now?

[heady nebula]

They don’t release on Friday Sat or sunday they said this

[sage thunder]

They did not.

[amber cedar]

At this point I'm being super paranoid asking this, but if I jump into swimmable water riding a gigantopithecus, will it dismount me?

[heady nebula]

Yes they did lol

[sage thunder]

Where did they say that?

[weary jasper]

Personally I think Friday or next Monday

[past sentinel]

Despite popular opinion holidays actually tend to be a big selling point.

[livid wadi]

we should find out a lot more tomorrow.

[sage thunder]

Yeah, let's just have all the staff working on a holiday when they could release it a few days earlier.

[heady nebula]

Look in pinned messages in general

[night obsidian]

I hope they have lower prices on Christmas

[ruby night]

Don't get your hopes up, just saying

[night obsidian]

Christmas salee

[minor vale]

jat told me that asa release tomorrow with exclusively primitive plus and pve beginners servers only

[royal forum]

Lol How long have you been playing... Keeping us wondering is their strong suit

[amber cedar]

Also, will opening a cave loot crate trigger a horde of hostile wildlife?

[weary jasper]

Yeah I wouldn’t be expecting much when we haven’t seen a trailer or anything so far lol

[heady nebula]

They said they wont release it on friday sat or sunday look pinned messages in general text channel

[minor vale]

not what jat said

[frosty ivy]

Bs

[minor vale]

jat told me that asa release tomorrow with exclusively primitive plus and pve beginners servers only

[ruby night]

They haven't even released specs for PC players

[heady nebula]

Not releasing on the weekend

[night obsidian]

We get the servers tomorrow?

[weary jasper]

Well that gives us wed thurs or mon tues then

[minor vale]

jat told me that asa release tomorrow with exclusively primitive plus and pve beginners servers only

[frosty ivy]

Bs

[night obsidian]

Nice

[heady nebula]

So trailer tomorrow and game Thursday maybeeee

[heady nebula]

Bro stop the cap lmao

[past sentinel]

Rockstar Games does the same thing, they are even known to do major updates excessively close to holidays and they're one of the most profitable gaming companies today. GTA 6 has a 3 billion dollar budget the largest of any game to date.

So it not a stretch for other companies to acknowledge that and follow suit. I'd like it to be this week to, but it is possible for WC to drop it on the 31.

[minor vale]

bro you calling jat a liar???? HUH

[frosty ivy]

Yep and a troll

[sage thunder]

Gta 5 was not a best-seller because they launched during a holiday, lmfao.

[heady nebula]

No im calling you a liar since jat wouldn’t give that info out xD

[weary jasper]

I read somewhere that they have to drop it in October for a reason. Is that true?

[minor vale]

he did but he just told me becuase i asked him first

[past sentinel]

Yes it was, it made 1 billion in the first 3 days when it only launched on PS3 and 360 bro

[heady nebula]

Ya apparently they got a contract with Nitrado

[royal forum]

yes

[royal forum]

yes

[weary jasper]

Waiting till the last minute I see

[ruby night]

Nitrado

[heady nebula]

Xbox nitrado what ever lol

[sage thunder]

Gta 5 is a best-seller because it was a revolutionary game. There were not 50% more people that magically got it just because they were on holiday.

[candid sky]

It’ll prob release on Tuesday

[ruby night]

Big difference my friend 😂

[frosty ivy]

We dont even know if it passed cert

[royal forum]

billions of dollars of difference

[heady nebula]

I feel like if they did that people would be even more mad lol

[raw bluff]

what makes u think that

[heady nebula]

My bad Ill fix it XD

[ruby night]

It's all good haha

[past sentinel]

It a pretty safe bet considering Xbox is hosting it on the panel for their Partner Preview.

[weary jasper]

Before the weekend brings them most profit in my opinion

[heady nebula]

Yup

[weary jasper]

But it’s wildcard so who knows

[raw bluff]

so it would release tmr?

[ruby night]

I'm more curious if we're getting rendered footage or actual gameplay

[teal edge]

i also think it will release in the next couple 2-3 days because its payment day for most people

[weary jasper]

Say your prayers

[heady nebula]

If they released it next week it would be a big troll but its normal for wc to release stuff super late

[past sentinel]

If you go to #announcements and actually go to the link it physically says "first gameplay"

[ruby night]

Ok? Could still be rendered footage they said was "gameplay" it's a lie of omission

[frosty ivy]

Cinematic trailer that ends with coming spring 2024

[livid wadi]

it'll probably be out on saturday

[heady nebula]

No they said not on the weekend

[amber cedar]

Yes! Artifact acquired!
One down, two to go
And I still need to raise an army of therizes for the bosses

[ruby night]

Nah, they don't do weekend stuff, not even for updates

[past sentinel]

Ight bro, not gonna argue with a negative nancy. Go with what you want to

[floral coral]

Itll release tuesday, and WC will bone us by spawning in dodorexs right off the bat for halloween. Its the perfect crime.

[ruby night]

Not trying to be negative, just being skeptical because of wildcard and snail games history

[buoyant plank]

Lets be honest the game hasnt had nearly enough time to bake

They said it would be early access until next year

[royal forum]

you'll spawn into a starter area where you can view all the pictures they've posted so far... Hey at least we will be in

[hasty yoke]

how do you feel?

tomorrow is the big day

[limber copper]

I'm so fucking excited

[buoyant plank]

I feel like people are either gonna be really happy or really dissapointed

[hasty yoke]

both

[ruby night]

I'll be here watching after I get to work to see either the discord burning, or it's erily quiet lol

[buoyant plank]

10 hour chat cooldown:

[ruby night]

Wouldn't surprise me tbh at this point

[buoyant plank]

We have iPads in my school ill just watch it there

[amber cedar]

I don't understand. I was able to put a doed and a gorilla in a cryopod just fine, but now they're not being cryopoded. What gives?

[past sentinel]

I can't speak for Snail cause I am not familiar with their line up of games. But Wildcard only released two one of which being ASE that they managed to run for 8 years.

That not very common for a company to be able to do that, so WC history is just starting and it better than other companies. Some of those being AAA companies.

[buoyant plank]

The whole reason ASA is a thing is being of Snail and it's really bad ill explain

[heady nebula]

Last cc it was a 5 hour cd

[buoyant plank]

Basically the CEO of snail spent the billions ark made on an electric vehicle company which failed

[ruby night]

Ark is Snails only profitable game

[buoyant plank]

And they forced Wild Card to make a new game

For money cause thats the main source of income of snail

[night obsidian]

Ditch the damn cars and focus on Ark

[buoyant plank]

Yeah look at nooblets vid its rlly good

[ruby night]

He was trying to get onto the electric car hype, but in China, it's not the same hype as in america

Iirc

[buoyant plank]

No the problem is China already has big electric vehicle companies and people weren't interested so the company failed

[night obsidian]

A tesla counterfeit

[ruby night]

Yeah nooblets did a good job explaining it all

His OG videos are just 🔥

[night obsidian]

Jesus, can't they just leave snail games ?

[dire kindle]

battlepass incoming

[ruby night]

Unfortunately no

[buoyant plank]

I heard some reumors that microsoft may aqquire them

[ruby night]

Think they can leave snail in 1 year now, but then they need another publisher

[night obsidian]

Why not? Is it impossible to buy themselves back?

[buoyant plank]

I mean they saw potential in minecraft and bought them so it might be the same for ark

[hasty yoke]

i’m just glad they didn’t go the rockstar route and profit off shark cards and gta+

[night obsidian]

I hope Microsoft buys them back

[ruby night]

So true lol, haven't heard of shark cards in forever 😅

[buoyant plank]

Snail Games is a leech at this point they've only taken money from wildcard

[zenith trout]

WC can't leave Snail til Ark 2 comes out. That's why it'll never see the light of day

[ruby night]

They are under contract with snail, I believe it's up in 1 year, or little under a year

[hasty yoke]

ngl idk the difference between snail games and wildcard

[ruby night]

Ahh is that the terms?

[buoyant plank]

Snail Games is the publisher wild card is the game studio

[ruby night]

Wildcard created ark, snail is the publisher

[hasty yoke]

i feel like we’ll have to wait until 2025 for the show with the way things are going

[icy wedge]

snail games is like EA, WC is like Bioware/Respawn

[hasty yoke]

i’ve never heard of those last 2

[buoyant plank]

The first season has been completely finished for a while, I guess they can't find a streaming service or they don't have enough money to put their show up

[icy wedge]

Bioware made mass effect/dragon age/ baldurs gate. respawn made titanfall/apex

[zenith trout]

That's my understanding. Snail is famous for buying devs that have a decent game but are struggling to meet cash demands. WC for Ark, Grapeshot for Atlas, and Donkey Work for Last Oasis. Then there's Dark and Light, Outkwas of the old west and a zombie game, I think it's called Fear the night. Ark is about the only game they still support, although they keep saying Atlas will be coming out of early access soon

The rest are just abandon ware

[sage thunder]

I'll be insanely disappointed if the game is not released. I don't give a shit about them walking around in the game, I want to play it.

[icy wedge]

pump up the studios, milk them for every cent they can, then dump them like a dead hooker

[ruby night]

Yeah I knew they bought up devs like that, just not sure on terms between wildcard and snail

[icy wedge]

Unfortunate situation for WC as a studio short of closing shop

imo

[ruby night]

Yeah, I hope they make it through though

[zenith trout]

WC got in trouble, Snail bailed em out, now Snail owns em. And it's a cash cow, so WC will never get released

[icy wedge]

I hope theres a future that they are purchased by another publisher/can break out

[hasty yoke]

i really sucks they have so much potential

[heady nebula]

Give the players what we want and they wont have to close down lol

[icy wedge]

not likely but

[hasty yoke]

would it be a good thing if microsoft bought them out?

[heady nebula]

Stop delaying shit we been playing with bugs since day 1

[ruby night]

Snail has single handedly been ruining ark, probably the reason there is still meshing and duping

[icy wedge]

them being at risk of closing wasnt because of not delivering

[heady nebula]

Its one of the reasons

[ruby night]

They overextended if iirc

[icy wedge]

i mean, it isnt lol

[ruby night]

Depends on what Microsoft planned for them

[hasty yoke]

also why is ark in the xbox thing?

[ruby night]

Sometimes companies buy stuff up just to shut it down

[hasty yoke]

did they have a deal or something

[icy wedge]

Microsoft could be cool, LOT of financial backing

[buoyant plank]

Snail games has (or had) their own pvp servers where their employees could cheat against normal players and this one time a mega tribe raided their server and every member got banned

[ruby night]

Conquest servers

[hasty yoke]

i thought that was wildcard

[icy wedge]

conquest, arkpoc, asia cluster

[buoyant plank]

No it was snail

[ruby night]

Nope snail had dev access to those servers, not wildcard

[icy wedge]

conquest by far the worst bc they were free to do literally whatever they wanted

[ruby night]

The motto for conquest, conquest servers don't start until TEA(Snail Games) was wiped

[amber cedar]

Alright, gonna try the swamp cave next. Gots a megatherium and two gas masks to tackle it with

[ruby night]

Need a scuba tank as well iirc

[icy wedge]

just gas mask is fine

[fair marlin]

hmm

[ruby night]

Ahh, been forever since I've been in that cave

Needed 2 scuba 3 ghillie back then 😂

[icy wedge]

same, i always just killed spinos

or drown titanos

takes a while but you can do it as a bob pretty easy

[drifting crater]

It's only just come to me, as I just bit off more than I could chew in the Ice Cave unexpectedly...if there's no Cryopods in ASA to start with, how the hell will we be able to do the Ice Cave!? I very highly doubt you'll be able to take on a 3x max level Yeti on foot, let alone 4 of them at once...

[abstract raptor]

It's unlikely Microsoft can or will outright buy WC. They're still referred to as Partners meaning they are 3rd party. They wouldn't be at the Partner showcase if Microsoft purchased them, they'd be on the Microsoft (Xbox mainly) news 'show' they have.

[ruby night]

Used to go in there with frogs to farm paste, and run from arthro because they'll kill you off the frog lol

[icy wedge]

push tek and just tp stuff in

[ruby night]

They are removing the crouch on ice cave for asa

[hasty yoke]

what does partners mean for them though

[amber cedar]

Oh, the arthros, those are what I'm most afraid of
But I hear it has better rates for ascendant stuff than other places

[mossy breach]

I’m fully expecting them to make us pay for the dlc for asa even tho they say it’ll be free

[drifting crater]

Well that'd work... When did they say that?

[icy wedge]

not confirmed but good chance they atleast change it to let things like thylas in

[ruby night]

Can't remember when, said they were adjusting cave choke points and I think it said "temporarily removing crouch"

[drifting crater]

Rather expensive way to do it, I guess... But if they're making smaller teleporters, makes sense.

[drifting crater]

Ah gotcha.

[ruby night]

Old school way was to pop eggs at the entrance, walk them in and raise them and leave them there

[buoyant plank]

I feel like they'll make all the dlc paid

[abstract raptor]

The Partner program is just a way to have some extra support via Microsoft being super helpful. There's a lot in there but the TLDR just means they'll have support incase of game crashes and weird bugs to get it handled quicker because they're one of the cross platform games that Microsoft using to more or less test out how smooth it is. It doesn't mean much else unless they outright claim it.

[icy wedge]

thatd be on pvp server then you just build your base. pve we'll just have to see what changes they roll out

[drifting crater]

A few people on my server did that when Ragnarok first came out for the Ice Worm Queen lair... God, I miss those days...

[ruby night]

Thought no tek at launch?

[icy wedge]

tek is confirmed at launch

[drifting crater]

No, Tek has been confirmed.

[buoyant plank]

Fuck

[acoustic shard]

😊

[hasty yoke]

so what if an ark game is free with game pass

[abstract raptor]

Tek native to the island on launch. Sooo whatever you can unlock there

[ruby night]

Yeah back in legacy we had to do that for island ice, was a pain, but made some interesting interactions

[buoyant plank]

Is the UI getting an overhaul

[ruby night]

So we get tek but no cryo pods wtf lol

[icy wedge]

the whole point of ASA

nvm misread

[drifting crater]

The one thing (mainly SP and PvE oriented, but could work with PvP too) I'd like to see QoL-wise in ASA, is a Tek-style Incubator that - using Element Shards - allowed you to select the stats and colours of the offspring...

[abstract raptor]

Then it's just a Partner on Game Pass. Usually a game gets a chunk of change or it can be percentage based on how many people download etc. It really depends on the individual contract.

[ruby night]

They really need to elaborate on the mutation changes they made

[hasty yoke]

also do you guys think single player will remove the tether in ASA

[icy wedge]

pve 100%. pvp thatd ruin

[buoyant plank]

That'd be really op

[abstract raptor]

Note that games on game pass early access have NO promise to be completed etc etc etc.

I'm not worried I just feel the need to point out game pass does not equal game saved of any issues

[autumn jolt]

Oooooo that’s a good one! I hate the teather

[hasty yoke]

that’s one of my biggest hopes

[mossy breach]

I think no cryos on release is a huge misplay

[autumn jolt]

Tether

[drifting crater]

Not if it was ridiculously expensive, shard-wise. No different from cloning, anyway...

But, like I said, mainly SP and PvE.

[ruby night]

Could keep the color part for pvp, that would be cool

[buoyant plank]

I feel bad for console users they can't make the tether infinite hopefully the range gets bigger

[icy wedge]

people dupe black boxes of hard ele constantly, nothing is expensive for pvp players

[hasty yoke]

or infinite

[ruby night]

"everything"

[icy wedge]

fair

[hasty yoke]

oh and do you guys think crossplay will be a possibility?

[buoyant plank]

It will be

[ruby night]

Said 30 days after launch they hope to have full cross play going iirc

[buoyant plank]

That's one of the main points of ASA

[abstract raptor]

I'm in here touting legal info but I feel the need to point out in incredibly excited and hopeful for the launch. Just have been doing a lot of research on the Xbox end out of sheer curiosity and figured I'd share findings if I saw anyone asking 🤷🏼‍♀️

[hasty yoke]

ohh i get it

[icy wedge]

would love them to fix duping/meshing/aimbot/god moding/cheat clients for good but someone will always find a way

[hasty yoke]

the red, green, and blue on the A logo represent nintendo, xbox, and playstation

[ruby night]

Yup, they could drop it and never update ever again

[buoyant plank]

Im pretty sure there will be a pure console official cluster and cross play official cluster

[drifting crater]

Well, hopefully they've addressed duping in ASA... We'll see soon enough.

[warm light]

It needs to release by nexts Wednesday correct

[hasty yoke]

don’t they usually do big stuff on fridays?

[ruby night]

Hopefully with them reworking some of the code base, they did fix it

[buoyant plank]

It's probably gonna be on a Tuesday

[obtuse crater]

Or made it worse

[icy wedge]

can only hope. raiding dupe stashes was always fun tho

[ruby night]

Also true

[buoyant plank]

They'll take the weekend off and spend Monday doing finishing touches

[abstract raptor]

Technically it has to release by the end of the month or they lose a lot of money potential via Nintrado contract. But Technically with the information we have right now it doesn't HAVE to it's just so incredibly unlikely they'll risk losing that much money

[ruby night]

I want to see health scaling different so that land bases are viable again

[icy wedge]

get rid of rhynio and land bases will be fun for the first month or so

[ruby night]

Don't think they want to loose $4 million, from the only game they make money on

[hasty yoke]

so do you guys think it’ll release on the 31st?

[icy wedge]

itll PROBABLY release BY the 31st

[abstract raptor]

Legally the only thing keeping them on the deadline is lose of earning potential.

I absolutely believe they won't risk losing it, I just wanted to be fair in answering lol

[icy wedge]

find out tomorrow...... probably

[drifting crater]

I'm a bad Theri dad... Just killed my Theri baby I was trying to hatch by getting distracted on here... 🥲

[buoyant plank]

Rip

[ruby night]

I think them loosing that would shutter them

[hasty yoke]

god i hope i get a lot out of ASA

[drifting crater]

It's okay, I'm in SP and over the last 6 years I have fine-tuned my rates. It won't take long to recover.

[hasty yoke]

i’ve had ark for years and never even beat the game

[abstract raptor]

PURE SPECULATION:

My current prediction:
Gameplay tomorrow
Trailer Thursday with a countdown to Friday midnight drop (their time. I'm not doing all the conversion)

[ruby night]

I got over 6k hours in ASE, if ASA is better, will be easy to get that many hours again

[buoyant plank]

I'm so close to beating the island map I just need better saddles for my rex army

[abstract raptor]

If I'm being honest I believe you're right. They need this. So like I said I'm pretty confident they will launch on time

[ruby night]

Yeah I can see that, I think nitrado gave them until the 27th

[buoyant plank]

It's so annoying I haven't found a single rex saddle BP in 150 hours of afk loot farming

[abstract raptor]

Sometimes you gotta go the full deadline xD

[buoyant plank]

I might just use the upgrade station mod

[ruby night]

"ok guys the games released, theres game breaking bugs were working on, so no one can play it yet" 😭

[icy wedge]

watch the @tacit sandal video, save yourself the headache of trying to piece it all together

[abstract raptor]

Naaaah we will absolutely get in there!! It won't be until like 4 hours in when the players find the bugs they didn't think of.

The Partner Program let's them have a DEV version of their game on a closed loop xbox. Meaning someone somewhere has already tested it to make sure we can get in alright and if they haven't done that I have no hope for the company 🤷🏼‍♀️

However what they CANT account for if players sadistic ways of breaking things for fun

[hasty yoke]

piece what together

[drifting crater]

Only mod I like using, for pure nostalgia, is the Stargate mod. I prefer an "as-close-to-vanilla-without-it-taking-9-billion-hours-to-tame-or-breed" experience.

[sage thunder]

Nah, why wait another 1-2 days just to drag it out when they have revealed the game this late and everything is finished?

[ruby night]

Ok ok ok, we can log in make our character, and they get stuck scratching the tribute in our arm

[icy wedge]

all the info of "beating the game". if you're doing it for lore

[bright epoch]

I can't wait for them to create a mod in 1 month that makes the game vanilla xD

[silent matrix]

can i still play solo on ark when ark ascended come out

[hasty yoke]

i just need to get carried

[winged hamlet]

you dont beat ark, you just do a little better every time

[ruby night]

A mod that dumbs it down to ASE style 😂

[hasty yoke]

also do you think asa will have the same lore?

[abstract raptor]

Because they hate us? 🤣 in all seriousness because Friday allows for a weekend launch and Mocrosoft is convinced weekend launches do better

[hasty yoke]

just like spelunky

[sage thunder]

And every single server will be absolutely capped if they have a set release date for the weekend.

[icy wedge]

the fights arent super extravagant. Alpha King Titan is the only one thats actually hard/requires serious prep

[abstract raptor]

Might be what they want

[bright epoch]

Exactly

[sage thunder]

They're some hoes then, my internet is kinda average so I might not even get in.

[abstract raptor]

What better PR then "we can't fit all the players don't worry we are launching more servers guys!!"

[winged hamlet]

i dunno cmc requires some good coordination

[ruby night]

If it don't look like that damn raptor they posted, I don't want it 😭

[drifting crater]

~As in Single Player on ASA, or still play ASE when ASA comes out?

[icy wedge]

get that autoclicker ready my man

[sage thunder]

They added a queue system, so when they fuck us over at least it won't be too painful.

[manic sundial]

play ase wwhen asa comes out

[drifting crater]

Yeah, you'll still be able to play ASE.

[icy wedge]

f, no chance of getting a big sim wave in by luck. rip getting locked out of server by GG

[manic sundial]

cool thats what he wants to know

[sick jasper]

people are gonna just leave their character logged in laying on a bed if there's a queue system

[ruby night]

But they don't tell you it only dropped with 50 servers so they were going to have that exact PR push one way or another 🤣

[abstract raptor]

Looking at this from a stocks standpoint and a company not just a gaming company having so many players the ques are full looks GREAT for investors especially those who don't know much about gaming other than "wow look at all the people!!"

[manic sundial]

yes you will

[sage thunder]

Very true.

[abstract raptor]

Look you said it not me. I'm not the one who jinxed us 🤣🤣🤣

[icy wedge]

its me, im people

[sage thunder]

Servers will probably be capped for a while, I'm not logging out, lol.

[drifting crater]

My bad mate, I thought you were the OP. 😅

[sick jasper]

so hopefully there's a afk kick in place. i'm that person too lol

hold W key down or something haha

[manic sundial]

all good. OP seems to have gone into the wind

[ruby night]

I know I will once I get in, I remember legacy drop of center, effing nightmare

[craggy umbra]

people will chuck a weight on thier mouse or set up a macro

[icy wedge]

remote desktop is the hidden tech

[split flame]

nah one thing i hope is that there is better servers like to join w ur friends and not capped out at 4 ppl

[sick jasper]

agreed

[ruby night]

😂😂

[sage thunder]

Only problem is you'll probably starve after an hour. Gotta have some walking thing surrounded by 20 air conditioners.

[rapid jackal]

What’s your favorite area on the island? 🌴🌲

[sage thunder]

Ice cave, anything else is wrong.

[ruby night]

Original volcano

[manic sundial]

now will it be a 1-1 replicate of ase but just with better graphics or 🤔

[lyric oasis]

Gotta feeling ice cave gone be doo doo

[ruby night]

Even with crouch ice is doo doo with pelas

[sick jasper]

It's basically a 1-1 but they said they're changing some things to caves

[manic sundial]

good tbh

[abstract raptor]

Rebuild from the map ground up. So overall yes but your favorite rock might not be there and might be 15 feet to the left.

Or they've flattened this zone a little more naturally.

And the caves all had a face-lift

[manic sundial]

some caves are messy

[sage thunder]

After nerf, maybe, but it will still remain king. It is the only way to get the best tekgrams and blue ob has the best resources. No other spot will really be able to compete.

[lyric oasis]

Without cryos most caves be ass need 2 bases either way

[ruby night]

With a 30min offline timer, I can break your entire wall in ice cave

[sick jasper]

If you can fit a stego inside any of the caves, stego rocket run gonna go crazy

[ruby night]

Yup, I hate the cave meta personally

[craggy umbra]

they might just fully turn off cave building tho lol

[sage thunder]

Too easy to raid stuff when someone is offline, too hard when online imo.

[lyric oasis]

I personally hope cave bases are rookie and everyone is above ground

[sage thunder]

Nah, that will fuck everything up. You will be able to be raided WAYYY too easily.

[craggy umbra]

without things like mechs the cave meta is a little less nescsarry

[lyric oasis]

More fun experience all round

[craggy umbra]

would be fucking funny

[ruby night]

Nah they said they aren't touching the cave meta

[sage thunder]

They said something about not wanting to break it, but they want to balance it. Not sure the exact words.

[lyric oasis]

Petition for net guns added on island to counter stego rocket run😂😂

[manic sundial]

what you think they are fixing on caves

[sage thunder]

Catapult time.

[craggy umbra]

ffs

[sage thunder]

Removing stuff like crouch at ice.

[ruby night]

Also depends on how they changed health muts scaling

[craggy umbra]

nah more crouches

no cryos so bases cant easily be build there

[lyric oasis]

I read a post saying they don’t wanna change the meta however some cave entrances have been adjusted

[ruby night]

A capped steggo with 416k health, is soaking EVERYTHING

[manic sundial]

so on foot caves

;P

[craggy umbra]

u realise anyone can post stuff of reddit right not just devs.

[drifting crater]

Maybe, for solo/SP players, tames set to follow won't launch themselves off of cliffs and into the lava in the Tek Cave anymore... That'd be nice...

[craggy umbra]

hell yea

[sage thunder]

Won't really be a problem. It will be claimed day 1 and built up on day 2. Will just require them to have something outside until they get teleporter within the first week.

[lyric oasis]

Wasn’t Reddit dummy was on their community crunch cheers tho

[hushed nacelle]

that was stated in a community crunch

[craggy umbra]

yea your underestimating how important cryos are

[craggy umbra]

blud i didnt hear no community crunching

[manic sundial]

trying to get infor for a firiend. so could like one person just say what cave chages are happening. like all of them that we know of

[sage thunder]

Cryos are nice, but we will definitely survive without it.

[hushed nacelle]

huh

[ruby night]

We don't know for sure

[abstract raptor]

Remember it's a possibly unstable build. If your entire base crumbles and knocks you offline enjoy the que line while people destroy your base >.o

I'm going in knowing I won't be able to keep a location on lock for the first few days xD

[craggy umbra]

lmao moving tames will suck greifing is worse ratholes are incredibly difficult, it will be amazing but a lot different

[manic sundial]

k

[ruby night]

I miss the OG days walking brontos across map

[lyric oasis]

Anything been said about blocking artifacts against rules? Would it be classed as “blocking player content”

[sage thunder]

Most tames will be able to be moved with the new bigass bee thing. Ratholes may be a problem, I can agree there.

[craggy umbra]

i miss my dino trains, doing a headcount missing 3 random dinos, giving up the search as it would take years

[ruby night]

It's not against the rules, PvE doesn't allow cave building

[lyric oasis]

We’ve survived without them before babyyyy back to building 30x30 boxes for tames hahaha

[craggy umbra]

dino trains are still more efficiant

[vague elk]

can't wait for giga raising without cryos and maewings lol... back to old school methods

[drifting crater]

My not-OCD isn't going to survive. I like my nice clean base... Only dinos out all the time are the ones I need. Not looking forward to having my resource tames, cave tames, personal mounts, breeders and my boss groups out again... 😭

[sage thunder]

If you are moving like 30 dinos for a raid, yeah. But then uploading using a drop / obelisk would probably be easier.

[craggy umbra]

agian kinda conflicts with the cave meta, i was here since day 1 and let me tell u cryos change the game u can survive without but u forget how hard it is without them

[amber cedar]

GodDAYUM all these high level meganeuras jumped my megatherium by 15 whole levels :O

[craggy umbra]

if u want to build another base expect hell

[sage thunder]

It will get cozy with all the extra dinos out. ;)

[ruby night]

Ohh yeah, leave with 20, show up with 16, can't find the missing 4 even though you back tracked the exact same path lol

[winged dagger]

@heavy cedar will console player be able to get pugnacia and primal fear? If so then when

[craggy umbra]

just tame more at that point

[worn lotus]

Then a therozinosaurus comes in to kill an ant and 1 swipes everything 😂

[craggy umbra]

no

[lyric oasis]

I know it’s hard lol not my first rodeo I don’t want easy hiding in rat holes

[ruby night]

There's no taming on the way to a raid lol

[abstract raptor]

Important question!! Server transfer won't be available at launch. Do you think the function to upload dinos will even be in the game before SE? aka are we about to watch 56 dinos March across the map to go bossfight?

[drifting crater]

I'll have to go back to my old SP way of having a base for each boss, near their obelisk, a base for breeding and a home base... 🙃

[winged dagger]

Ur on smt bro we will but it won't be on launch im just asking when

[lyric oasis]

I want my gigas lined up against a wall annoying the shit outta me with their tails

[craggy umbra]

or accidently whistling agressive

[craggy umbra]

and im telling u no it wont happen cause i said so

[abstract raptor]

Like how OG are we going? How far back are we rewinding the meta 🤣

[hushed nacelle]

just depends on when someone from the modding community depends to create and publish those kinds of mods. dont listen to this other bozo lol

[craggy umbra]

its fine u can just steal some of thier cryo tames to make up for it...

[craggy umbra]

not far enough

[craggy umbra]

getting sent flying off a cliff while trying to grab an egg

[winged dagger]

Oh ok so I just gotta wait till someone makes it

[hushed nacelle]

exactly. id expect loads of mods to release in the first 3 months or so

[ruby night]

Hope they leave their males on breeding so I can bring my females haha

[winged dagger]

Yo can someone make console primal fear and pugnacia plzz and publish it

[sage thunder]

Yeah, I'll get right on it.

[lyric oasis]

You mf’s better drop that wood out of those beaver Dams while collecting to paste

[winged dagger]

Thanks

[craggy umbra]

they better remove enable mating i want to create pens for wandering dinos agian

[craggy umbra]

nah bro just for u i add wood back in

[abstract raptor]

Back in my days the bosses spawned in the overworld and living near an obelisk was a death sentence 🤶🤶

[sage thunder]

I'll use Battlematrics to find your server and only take the paste.

[winged dagger]

Have it down by launch

[craggy umbra]

not back that far luckily

[abstract raptor]

I know we aren't going THAT far but the thought is entertaining

[sage thunder]

Might be tight, will probably take a few more days.

[ruby night]

Whistle stop all for 10 minutes while they mate lmao

[lyric oasis]

I’ll play pve

[drifting crater]

That was a very serious, and very heavily enforced, rule on my server cluster.

[winged dagger]

Sure

[ruby night]

Miss those days

[craggy umbra]

skill issue

[sage thunder]

Bro is schizophrenic 💀

[craggy umbra]

nah bro i blame someone else they take the ban

[obtuse egret]

Hopefully! If you catch those trains you can sneak into a boss fight early on unless they battery turret the area

[lyric oasis]

I’ve read everything you’ve typed in this cord, you sound like a newbie I’ll let it slide lil bro

[craggy umbra]

get teh sneaky tekgrams maybe a kit and a saddle if ur sneaky

[amber cedar]

I thought my tames would be immune to the poison in the swamp caves

[drifting crater]

It WAS you!!!! 🤣

[ruby night]

Omg I used to spawn in 3-5 spider queens at green on and trap her in the water, I'd farm chitin for days

[worn lotus]

Ive tried that lol I was woefully unprepared

[craggy umbra]

ive played since a month or 2 after ea launch took a break after extinction but im back

[abstract raptor]

Also back then you couldn't build too close to the obelisk either..... man I miss those days 😥

[craggy umbra]

just bring a kangaroo and run around

[worn lotus]

Noted!

[lyric oasis]

Lil break since extinction, quite the break bud

[ruby night]

Yeah, those were good times, sabertooth were OP

[white tundra]

I am excited to see everyones tames on full display

[craggy umbra]

after extinction came back after lost island, and by the sound of it i missed the 2 worst dlc so i am not gonna complain

[ruby night]

All the colors and things

[hushed nacelle]

agreed. bro said he'd put wood in beaver dams. something you cant actually do

[white tundra]

YESSSSS

[craggy umbra]

its called a joke blud

[hushed nacelle]

blud

[drifting crater]

I wonder if we'll get a Sabertooth TLC so it looks like...I dunno...a Sabertooth. 🤫

[craggy umbra]

u see its funny as its the opposite of what you want to happen and it makes people dissapointed and subverts thier expectations

[ruby night]

Lol

[craggy umbra]

we desperately need more sabertooth love

[white tundra]

Don't get too crazy on expectations 😂

[craggy umbra]

its just a worse direwolf

[ruby night]

Better*

[drifting crater]

A worse direwolf that has armour...

[abstract raptor]

Don't be rude to the cranky old man of the server xD I know it's going to be updated but I'll be real sad if he's not a little bit derpy rofl

[ruby night]

Saddle armor makes a big difference 😂

[lyric oasis]

I want quetzals to get some tlc, I wanna be able to drop a nuke onto a base from above

[craggy umbra]

yea 20 armour cause whos gonna make a saddle, if ur actually consideirng using one for caving or smth just get a megalo

[ruby night]

As long as it still has jump sprint, I'll be happy with it 😃

[true nacelle]

i work alot i think ill start pve 1st

[craggy umbra]

quetzals need bombs a 10x health buff and turrets need to be placeable on them once more, they are just to weak

[ruby night]

I chitin farm, lots of xp in making paste

[craggy umbra]

icorrect choice

[hushed nacelle]

lil bro hasnt discovered blueprints yet

[craggy umbra]

so much effort for so little reward

[abstract raptor]

I'm too old for pvp yall youngins will have to come back and tell me your stories. This old lady will go sit on pve and raise her 🐑 🐏 in peace

[white tundra]

I'm 100% a PvE player, I feel to bad stealing and killing others hard work

[ruby night]

Next to no effort honestly

[craggy umbra]

read what i said im saying that its only worth it early game by the time u have the mats and bp for a decent saddle u have much better options than a saber

[drifting crater]

20 armour, basic... You get/make/find Mastercraft or above, a single cat will wreck a whole pack of direwolves... As much as I hate to say it (love my wolves).

[craggy umbra]

next to no effort to tame something better

[hushed nacelle]

i actually agree. sabers dont scale well

[craggy umbra]

mhmmm im sure

[ruby night]

Honestly I'll probably be playing PvE as well, I'm currently working 80 hours a week with no sign of slowing down

[true nacelle]

i do pvp and pve but working 60+ hours right now have no time tommorrow trailer?

[craggy umbra]

thats my point they are a good early game tame and good for some early caving but outside of that they are pretty mid, they dont need to be meta defning just a little buff to help them see a little more use

[craggy umbra]

skill issue

[hushed nacelle]

true. tons of creatures have very little or too niche of a use. like listros could use a rework

[ruby night]

Better chitin returns on saber vs DW or megalo

[lyric oasis]

Everyone remember to put your turrets on 5 second timer so you don’t kill friendly players 🙂

[obtuse egret]

👀

[lyric oasis]

😂😂

[abstract raptor]

Same here. I want to have fun and do a grand tour of sorts. I'll need to have my stuff ready to move on to new maps when I can not sit in a bush waiting for YourMom6969 to get on so I can snipe him one more time from my 1x1 crap base because he killed me while I'm offline xD

[obtuse egret]

Diabolical 😂

[lyric oasis]

Pass it on we catch them lacking later

Ez lute

[ruby night]

Yeah same, no time for pvp atm

I love pvp, and always will, but unless they drop some 5x, 10x clusters, I have no time for 1x

[abstract raptor]

Too much to do these days. Not like it was over 5 years ago when we had time to be the annoying little buggers xD

[white tundra]

my luck I'd end up on Wizards sever and think i found a friend only to have no way out

[lyric oasis]

2.5 smalls is aight

[lyric oasis]

Hahaha I’m friendly

[ruby night]

Nah I want to see some 5x 10x mega wars lol

I also don't have time to be on as much as smalls requires

[lyric oasis]

There’s always some good unofficials for that, it’s just pure pvp

[cosmic bone]

That just gave my gpu indigestion.

[craggy umbra]

pure pvp is just as boring as pve

[ruby night]

I know, I want to see official clusters like that though

[abstract raptor]

It's not the same feel and you always end up with drama of "xxxx spawned that in for them"

[lyric oasis]

The tek suit net gun meta pvp was so ass tho gets boring after a week

[craggy umbra]

mega tribe 10x servers would be dope

[obtuse egret]

I’m a changed man 😂 Until I can get wyverns from SE, I’ll play nice

[lyric oasis]

Ahh u get the right clusters there’s none of that but I feel you I have seen it done

[craggy umbra]

u didnt like everyone being nigh unkillable with bolas that work on even the strongest tames?????????

[craggy umbra]

find servers were the admins dont play

[abstract raptor]

Mythical clusters I've never been able to find xD

And half the time the drama isn't even true! But it often sours the whole server and then boop gone v.v

[lyric oasis]

I don’t play em bru

[ruby night]

Can't remember the game I played, but they had 1x, 3x, 5x, and 10x official servers

[craggy umbra]

do busy with ur "pve" then

[lyric oasis]

Are you high, never touched pve never will

[exotic folio]

this game really makes experiene the feeling of lose a whole lot

[craggy umbra]

im sure

[ruby night]

2 years building to loose it all in 3 hours 😭

[hushed nacelle]

megatribing is as close to pve as pvp gets imo

[abstract raptor]

I enjoyed being rolled into the dirt when we were online fighting. Not as much fun when you're at work and get a text that everything died while everyone was offline.

[lyric oasis]

I already know you’re a ark global chat spammer that doesn’t even play

[white tundra]

or breeding and having all your babies get killed

[ruby night]

Not necessarily megatribes, but say 10-20 man tribe limit on say 5x or 10x clusters

[exotic folio]

just lost albedo my argi

[lyric oasis]

Perfect

[abstract raptor]

Pve let's you declare wars if you have friends on the server and want some pvp fun for a few hours. I just hope I end up with some chill people on the same sever

[craggy umbra]

ill have u know i do not infact talk in ark chat cause i wouldnt dare make myself a target, not everyone screams shit to bolster thier egos like u

[craggy umbra]

good luck with that lmao

[white tundra]

i don't know if you're actually nice now @lyric oasis

[ruby night]

You got the text? I didn't, logged into where tf the base go 😅

[obtuse egret]

I think a 10x server with two warring mega tribes would be insane

[craggy umbra]

by comparison lol

[lyric oasis]

What are you actually talking about

[craggy umbra]

boring pretty quick

all it takes is a few advantages and smart plays and its over

[lyric oasis]

How often would you want wipes tho

[craggy umbra]

thats what i thought

[craggy umbra]

fortnitely would be good

[abstract raptor]

Get better friends xD mine love being the bearer of bad news rofl

[lyric oasis]

Smoke less lil bro I think Roblox on sale rn for you

[white tundra]

i was the one who slept for an hour and a half to log in and imprint everyones dinos

[craggy umbra]

damn i was just running out of robux as well

[lyric oasis]

Hope there’s no raft clipping on asa

[craggy umbra]

not gonna happen

they have updated rafts like once ever

[abstract raptor]

I got like 4 before I could even get home like "guys I get it! I have a customer account I have to close I'll mourn the dinos tonight!"

[craggy umbra]

would be amazing tho

[obtuse egret]

Probably once a month or once all large enemy structures are destroyed

[lyric oasis]

Was hoping the unreal 5 map poly rendering would help

[ruby night]

Good friends, we just didn't talk about that stuff haha

[craggy umbra]

maybe it might but tbh i wouldnt be hopeful

[ruby night]

It went both ways though, sometimes no one would say we're getting hit for an hour because they wanted to "have fun by themselves"

[lyric oasis]

Can dream for changes we need 🙏🏼

No 3rd person c4 through walls, no grapple glitch cheese

[ruby night]

A cluster, or 1 map?

[craggy umbra]

cluster maps are small

[abstract raptor]

I've had a lot of good luck actually. I made friends and then we got bored and went to the swamp chasing each other around for hours. It was great fun and there was only agreed upon deaths (we bred raptors and had a fun go). Just gotta make some friends -- I know it can be hard but you can do it xD

[ruby night]

Nah, I mean like 1 map, or 1 of each map cluster

[craggy umbra]

ur getting a little ahead of urself they should probably start with the minor bugs

[lyric oasis]

Realistically we haven’t had any mentions from the devs about what server we will get yet, we could even see a new 10x smalls or some shi

[ruby night]

Make dodo fights great again

[lyric oasis]

Hell nah get those majors fixed and the games way better

[craggy umbra]

i missed the comma i meant that they would have to be a cluster as maps are to easy to be domniated but i would say not a full cluster just 3 maps or so to keep it condensed

[craggy umbra]

ur real confident in wildcard ill be happy with a hitreg fix

[obtuse egret]

Cluster with 1 of each map. The whole cluster would wipe monthly

[abstract raptor]

Still got the clip where my mutated Dodos ate a max level bronto. It was like watching piranha I plan to do it again 🤣

[ruby night]

If the game relaunched the exact same, with meshing, duping, and major glitches (grapple, rail gun etc) I'd be happy with it tbh

[lyric oasis]

Me too fresh start no bs

[white tundra]

speaking of max lvl do you think they'll change it?

[craggy umbra]

pick 3 to remove any more than that and wildcard could be considerd to competent

[obtuse egret]

I would live in a 10 small tribes Server in a heart beat. If they upped the tribe size from 6 to 8-10 it would be perfect

[craggy umbra]

dont reinvent the wheel

[lyric oasis]

Player level? Be 105 id say

[ruby night]

I'd say it's snail not wildcard

[craggy umbra]

true

[abstract raptor]

Nah I think they'll keep it the same

[lyric oasis]

Yeh I agree with this, I have 9 guys that wanna play we got 6 spots

[craggy umbra]

100 + ascension seems about right

[ruby night]

I could see that, or each tribe gets 1 map, 1 week of no transfers, 3 weeks of war

[lyric oasis]

Yeh, wonder if there any other stat changes along with no movement speed stat

[hushed nacelle]

scaling from mutations has changed, per dino too

[craggy umbra]

3 weeks of war is too much time for not enough reward

[ruby night]

To character idk, they did rework to some mutation scaling supposedly

[lyric oasis]

me sticking rest of my points that were in movement into fortitude so I don’t get punched out on beach 😂

[craggy umbra]

in all fairness removing movespeed isnt that big of a change

[ruby night]

No more 220 move speed for me makes me sad

[ruby night]

It is for me lol

[abstract raptor]

Maaan I was a movement junkie
Don't outrun the dino outrun your friend. Guess now it's don't outrun the dino out stamina your friend 🤷🏼‍♀️

[lyric oasis]

Nah I prefer it, be a good change to the pace of pvp and the pve side, everything was so easy with 170 speed

[ruby night]

I was the rocket runner because of my move speed

[lyric oasis]

I prefer the no movement change I mean

[craggy umbra]

they did it for fliers, it just makes it easier for average players isntead of being chased down cause they just pumped movespeed on a phiomia or some shit

[craggy umbra]

it should still exist for players i think

[ruby night]

It will def change up the meta though, and like that for the better over having move speed

[ruby night]

Player movespeed has been removed

[abstract raptor]

I'm not mad at the change per say, in fact it'll add to my 'I'm not gonna get out of this' death count

[lyric oasis]

The player move stat made pvp kinda goofy

Just 100mph running swinging bolas

[marble juniper]

truth

[ruby night]

Exactly, raptors just got 10x more dangerous

[craggy umbra]

nah fuck this shit i love going fast, remove it for everyone but me trying to bola some fuck running at mach 3 is painful

[craggy umbra]

should def change the vibe

[white tundra]

I always pumped just enough to out run raptors myself

[marble juniper]

i feel like them adding a hard cap wouldve been a good compromise, but im fine with no upgrades at all

[lyric oasis]

If I had to guess tho, I’d say they slightly increased the base speed of character

[craggy umbra]

they should just cap it

[rose nova]

The movement speed stat is being removed for ASA?

[craggy umbra]

yea most likely

[craggy umbra]

yes

[abstract raptor]

I was the egg runner in caves. They go in and attract the parents and I got the eggs to the entrance before big momma turned her attention to me.

They can get their own eggs now when the maps drop 🤣🤣

[lyric oasis]

U know I’m running straight to swamp getting my swamp fever and mass crafting focal chiliis

[craggy umbra]

swamp fever pandemic incoming

[rose nova]

Interesting. I only play solo PvE so having a fast character was useful but I know it was a bit weird and cheesy for PvP

[craggy umbra]

corrupted blood 2 electrtic boogaloo

[fierce jackal]

For official yes. Unofficial can still change it I believe

[craggy umbra]

well yea ur a pve palyer ur opinion doesnt count

[lyric oasis]

Pve got a pathing overhaul dinos are smarter and you’re slower, good luck my brother

[craggy umbra]

probably be a check box like flier speed

[craggy umbra]

just stand on a rock

[lyric oasis]

You can’t stand there all day got shit to do

Ohhhhh really I’d be sad, I was banking on that

[craggy umbra]

is the game even still ark if the description acurately matches the item?

[drifting crater]

I've never once gotten Swamp Fever... 😦

[rose nova]

You’re cute

[abstract raptor]

Imagine becoming basically a shambling zombie because of swamp fever ew

[craggy umbra]

probably have diseases turned off

[white tundra]

unlucky

[craggy umbra]

would be fun

[drifting crater]

Incorrect.

[craggy umbra]

they should make diseases even more permanent

remove cures

[white tundra]

no thank you

[lyric oasis]

There should be different diseases

[abstract raptor]

Nah the dinos would get you before you got anywhere

Like haha I have swamp oh I'm dead

[rose nova]

I’m just looking forward to new changes tbh

[craggy umbra]

thats the point

[ruby night]

You need a special drop from a liopluradon to cure it lol

[drifting crater]

Permanent until a cure is administered.

[craggy umbra]

yea we have like 3 or smth rn right? lets get some weird ones

[craggy umbra]

nah permanent always (and remove the scorched earth cheese)

[limber copper]

I'm just excited to play and do the bosses for the first time

[lyric oasis]

I think you pve guys will have fun with this one, building overhaul, new graphics and scenery, dinos and breeding changes it’s basically a new game for you

[craggy umbra]

they will likely be the same but it will be hype as fuck

who knows maybe kishko will make a comeback

[ruby night]

Same for pvp, just less extravagant builds

[lyric oasis]

I hope bosses are 10x harder like when island first came out the first time

[limber copper]

I've never done the bosses so I'm excited

[rose nova]

Yeah for sure, it’s why I’m looking forward to it. I used to play a ton of PvP with lots of players but now I’m solo so I’d rather not play PvP as a solo lol

[craggy umbra]

def it should be tricky as fuck to get element at first

[limber copper]

Was doing it but game deleted everyone and so I decided to wait till asa

[ruby night]

I've used bosses to counter fobs back in the day 🤣

[craggy umbra]

damn gonna be a whole new world for u

[limber copper]

That's the dream

I got close was in the final preparation for first boss fight but then the glitch

[lyric oasis]

Hell yeh, they’re called bosses and you can kill them with a kangaroo and shotgun hahaha they need a major buff

[craggy umbra]

im a solo and i play pvp, just gotta stop trying build a base and start raiding and theiving

or insiding if ur nasty

yea but i would just run around infecting everyone

[ruby night]

People asleep in pods but still logged in, you run by and get swamp aids

[lyric oasis]

When he logs out steal his parachutes and spyglass that’ll teach him

[rose nova]

I know it’s doable, I’ve watched a lot of videos on ratty spots and stuff but I’d rather just chill

[craggy umbra]

and force feed narcs

[ruby night]

Nooblets OG solo play FTW

They didn't always

[rose nova]

Hearing that name takes me back, man…

[craggy umbra]

find ur own spots people watch rathole videos to help scout or just chuck a smithy into some clipped terrain on the seafloor on the centre or rag

[lyric oasis]

I forget which telegrams we get from island

[ruby night]

His water system is still my fav vid ever lol

[craggy umbra]

the basic ones

the best ones

[lyric oasis]

Gen, turret, tp, trans?

All u need really

Tp aswell actually

[craggy umbra]

yea hopefully turrets get made harder to aqurie tho

tek turrets are so fucking annoying

[rose nova]

I wonder if he’s still making content, gonna go and check

[ruby night]

He is, not the same content though

[lyric oasis]

Spammed everywhere with tek gens after a month hahaha

[ruby night]

On pulse ☠️

[tidal mist]

What is the new website that’s essentially replacing Dododex? I saw someone mention it but I forgot to save it

[rose nova]

Yeah you’re right. His latest video is ARK related though, it’s a video about the ASA trailer date. I guess that means he’ll be back making ARK videos

[craggy umbra]

why would there need ot be another dododex, its already amazing

[ruby night]

Nothing will beat his OG solo content imo though, he trolled like hell lol

[rose nova]

Yeah it was great

[abstract raptor]

The Ark Unity thing?

[lyric oasis]

We only got brood tho what does gamma Brood give?

[tidal mist]

I saw someone saw it was more up to date on everything. I’ve been out of the ark loop for awhile so I’m not entirely sure

[night obsidian]

Tidepods cure covid?

[lyric oasis]

Ye

[rose nova]

Are cryo pods going to be a part of ASA? I feel like I might have saw something on Twitter about them potentially not returning

[tidal mist]

Just remember seeing that it was a website for now

[abstract raptor]

Only Tek at launch is tek gotten on the island. All other tek will become available when their maps do

Unless someone mods it

[night obsidian]

You mean Nasa? Yeah maybe in the near future they can cryo us

[craggy umbra]

no mechs will be legendary

cryopods wont be in asa at launch

[rose nova]

I’m gonna give that a solid 2/10

[night obsidian]

Yep your body's gonna be a solid 10/10

[abstract raptor]

Oh yeah it's not going too far back but man am I excited to not see only machines walking about

[rose nova]

Why thank you

[abstract raptor]

Get your robot out of my dino game lol

[craggy umbra]

back to the good ol days of atvs and rifles

[abstract raptor]

Sniping each other from cliffs and no pocket giga 🤣

[lyric oasis]

It’s beta monkey for gen no? Do we get these grams from brood early game I can’t remember

[craggy umbra]

u dont like them replacing a writer ruining the story, the balance, the vibe, the tames and the meta?????

[craggy umbra]

bolas still gonna be broken op

[night obsidian]

I thought only the old old days where we only ise bows

[abstract raptor]

I mean their story was just fine.... over there. On that ship. Thousands of light years away from me. And not here on my Ark 🙃

I am a survivor cloned on the ark. What's your life raft crap doing here you guys left us! Let me be xD

[obtuse egret]

I really hope the atv works properly. I want to ride on my enemies

[rose nova]

I remember years ago they released servers where you couldn’t tame dino’s for a small amount of time, the PvP was fun

[worn lotus]

I want at least one derpy ass character in the animated series

[craggy umbra]

it would have to have to be able to obliterate rocks and trees and dinos to be half decent

[craggy umbra]

there fucking better be a bob

[rose nova]

Or a character called “123”

[lyric oasis]

I’m sure I seen a post and they changed it to a dev item

[worn lotus]

"Tribe of human"

[abstract raptor]

Hugh Mann

[craggy umbra]

nah the story went from making sense to killing of diana and mei yin for no reason and then chucking u and the guy u killed (whos know alive btw) on a ship for no good reason while essentially forde feeding u the mmost op tames

like legit how did rockwell get on the ship

its bs

[oblique crane]

so my mate transfered me a world on ark and undedicated one and im now his character too but when ever he joins it makes my screen go black (i think it still is making him try to log on to his old character) weve tryed to delete all of his ragnarok and character files but nothing worked doesnt anyone know how to fix this?

[craggy umbra]

that is a permanenet glitch u have to create a new account and rebuy the game

kinda sucks but hey what are u going to do

[oblique crane]

bro wtf

[craggy umbra]

yea it sucks

[rose nova]

I would do some more research before instantly believing a random person on Discord lol

[abstract raptor]

Blur what system?

[craggy umbra]

just wait for asa to come out instead

[craggy umbra]

exactly listen to me and ignore the rando

[bleak flare]

Likely you got some character data corruption. Deleting the character and remaking a new one should work to fix that.

[craggy umbra]

nah u lose ur progress

dont trust not worth the risk

that could potentially break ur entire system not just the game

[bleak flare]

And rebuying the game doesn't lose your progress? lmao.

[craggy umbra]

umm no???????? u mad bruh

[bleak flare]

Deleting character data doesn't mess with your system at all.

Antidote is just trolling, again lol.

[abstract raptor]

Use logic when you try to come up with trolling excuses. It was almost believable until you went a step too far

You were doing so good! Then you passed the believability threshold v.v

[craggy umbra]

let me have my fun

im well aware of how to do it properly

[craggy umbra]

dont accuse me of such uncouth things

[bleak flare]

Then why did you mess it up? On purpose?

[abstract raptor]

I was letting you xD you were doing great! Then you weren't lol

[craggy umbra]

i am a morally upstanding individual

[craggy umbra]

speed couldnt let u get a message in

didnt have time to think it through

[bleak flare]

Ah, well gotta go slower next time lol.

[oblique crane]

can someone help me figure out a way to fix this? i have a bug where i have learned narcotics in the engrams but when i go to craft them in the mortar is says that i need to learn the engram...

[icy wedge]

close the game and fire it back up if you havent. that fixes 90 of non-server Ark issues

[silent matrix]

Do deep sea drops just appear anywhere at the bottom of the ocean?

[icy wedge]

no, they have set spawns

[oblique crane]

its been about 4 days since it started happening

[icy wedge]

hm, thats weird. ask in #bobs-with-probs and see if they might know. otherwise id submit a ticket and see if its a common issue. never had that specific one

[thick lotus]

Did you kill ur character and respawn back?

[oblique crane]

ill try that

[maiden shore]

12.30 h

[oblique crane]

whats that

[limber copper]

Eeee

Hours till

[scenic osprey]

TODAY IS THE DAY

[thick lotus]

Ambussin

[night obsidian]

It will be fire tonighttt when they release the trailer! Ambatucombuussssssst 🔥

[safe arch]

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

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

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

---

Will Previous Ban be honored or will people be given a second chance?

[maiden shore]

@oblique crane new ARK

[dire cedar]

there is not, and has never been ORP on official servers. there are special clusters for that sometimes. i doubt they will be here for launch

[last otter]

if you need ORP play pve

[night obsidian]

Jesus Christ, a 4090rtx in my country is $2000+

[fleet cloud]

Trailer comes out in 20 min? I’m et zone

[sinful knot]

@fleet cloud tomorrow afternoon

[safe arch]

I prefer the sprinkle of both PvP and PvE, I don't mind raids and wipes but only if I'm awake and have a remote chance of defending.

[fleet cloud]

Farnickles!!!!!

[safe arch]

12Hrs and 20 Minutes until the Xbox Showcase Starts.
It could be at anytime during the showcase so tune in early. 🙂

[sinful knot]

@safe arch it's in like 12 hrs

[safe arch]

Sorry, you're right. My mistake. Editing now.

[sinful knot]

All good. Jats announcement counts down too

[safe arch]

Ah, excellent. 🙂

[hasty yoke]

what’s better? ark or fnaf?

[mental bridge]

Zelda. Specifically the CD-i games. Go play those instead.

[sinful knot]

What im worried about most is SSD space. I have 580gb free and I fear it may not be enough

[hasty yoke]

noooo

[slate widget]

ASA won't be 600GB with only the island 😂

[scenic osprey]

prob. around 120gb

[sinful knot]

@slate widget I hope not, the first pass when ASE came out was massive because it wasn't optimized

[safe arch]

Ultra realistic rocks in full 4K!

[slate widget]

lol, those rocks gonna be 100GB

[frank ledge]

what u guys expect for PC requirements? I hope they arent as crazy as other UE5 games

[azure atlas]

@heavy cedar think u should drop ark on November 2nd

[scenic osprey]

atleast i wont need to turn on my heating this winter, starting up ASA will do plenty for the room.

[hasty yoke]

RUUUUUUNNNNNNN

[sinful knot]

2024

[scenic osprey]

we will find you and we will get you

[scenic osprey]

Don't you dare

[sinful knot]

If ASA isn't out this weekend, I'm throwing my PC into the lake. That'll show em

[night obsidian]

Can this run Ark?
Rtx3050
Corei7
16gb ram

[scenic osprey]

yeh? i got one better in the chamber. Review Bombing ARK on steam, even though its dead, that will show them for sure.

[scenic osprey]

ARK, sure ASA unknown, but 16GB Ram is pretty low for ASA ill assume

[hasty yoke]

jason’s about to hop on ASA 😳

[night obsidian]

Shit

[winged hamlet]

we wont know until launch

minimum for ue5 seems to be 8gb

[scenic osprey]

thats why "assume" 16GB is pretty low for New Games nowadays

[winged hamlet]

i have 64gb so im probably good

[scenic osprey]

yeh you are fine

[sinful knot]

i have an i7 12700F with a 3070 and 32 gb of ram. I just hope I can't hold 60 FPS without potato textures.

[vestal pond]

i only have 1660 😭

[sinful knot]

My backup PC has a 1080ti and I tell you, that card still slaps.

[gusty flower]

same

[oblique crane]

is there a admin code to reset all engrams?

[versed leaf]

Ark coming time?

[wintry badge]

So a 3060Ti with 16gb ram will not survive Asa ur saying ?

[versed leaf]

@peak finch

when will the ark come? @peak finch

[crisp nova]

Will a 4070ti be able to run asa with graphics on high-ish at a decent frame rate?

[winged hamlet]

we dont know what wil and wont

not until launch

[modest orchid]

No.

[torpid root]

Dont say that i have a 4060

[crisp nova]

I had a 2070 on regular ark and it would run not great

[modest orchid]

I have a 2060 and it runs regular ark 100 fps. You're fine lol yes your "almost the best graphics card ever" will run the game well

[digital needle]

This ark is built from ground up using the switch version (that runs pretty well) as base

That's what was said I believe

[glacial matrix]

Can the new ark run on my 4090 ti with atleast 10fps?

[night obsidian]

If I run it on medium??

[winged hamlet]

we don't know

we won't know until it launches

[silver tundra]

I just wonder how much they throttle down the series x vs it's actual potential if it actually had that potential

[night obsidian]

When will we know?

[winged hamlet]

what i just said...

[timber ivy]

end of october

[silver tundra]

I'm speculating they let us pre install Wednesday after the trailer and release by end of week

[honest ibex]

they wont they said it already bc steam cant do pre loads

[sinful knot]

I really hope release isn't Halloween :/

[timber bronze]

15 mins til 10 hours to go !

[rigid summit]

when is ASA launching?

[silent matrix]

When is the gameplay trailer launching

[narrow thorn]

10 hours

[timber bronze]

4am for Australia

[narrow thorn]

pain

[median raven]

16 gb ram low for ASA??? are u crazy?

[wooden zephyr]

hey is anyone on xbox pc having laggy issues?

[midnight tinsel]

Not really, since Steam moved to CEF just steam itself uses a ton of memory

Lots of games are now also recommending 16gb of ram. If you look at sons of the forest the minimum is 12

[indigo robin]

holy fuck if this cant, my pc will die if i try look at asa in the steam page

i used 19 theris and a yuty

[amber cedar]

How would a megatherum fare against the snow cave?

[modest orchid]

People just like to flex when they ask stuff like this lol obviously can run ark

[indigo robin]

my pc will die anyway
once i find my pc specs ill unflex here rq

[indigo robin]

one snow cave cant even fit anything besides a shoulder pet
the other is so difficult youll need a really good tame, a high quality pump and a load of ammo
bring a lot of medbrews because youll die from cold

[amber cedar]

Well goddamn, a high quality pump and a really good tame. That's the cave I was asking about, the one with the yetis and purlovias.
And grenades to flush them out of the ground.

[indigo robin]

the purlovias are the worst about that cave

i only survived them for more that 10 hits because my total armor was at 5k due to overpwered crafting skill ^^

[midnight tinsel]

I mean depending on your settings 16gb might not be enough

[indigo robin]

sounds like you might need to download free RAM

[amber cedar]

Can a megatherium take on one cave purlovia or will it struggle against even one?

[indigo robin]

depends on your overall difficulty, modifiers and the level of your megatherium

also youll probably get dismounted

btw the water there is so cold youll take environmental damage from it

[amber cedar]

Dismounted? Goddammit.
Oh, my megatherium is level 269

[amber cedar]

This looks like a job for the scuba gear. Even if that won't be enough.
Guess I'll need my trusty otter and the curry

[indigo robin]

no

its

lava but opposite

[amber cedar]

Wait what? I'm surprised lava isn't instantkill
But damn, I just hope I don't have to go through that icewater if I just want the artifact

[indigo robin]

you might fall in

you might get carried in by jumping purlovias

[celest rampart]

your best bet I believe for snow cave is theri

I cant think of anything else that purlovias dont aggro on, unfortunately dire bears and yetis hate everything

[indigo robin]

i did it with high level (300+) imprint thylas, 755.3% revolver a load of ammo, 5k armor, a load of medbrews and a friend with the same loadout. we both died thrice each

[amber cedar]

There's the allosaur, which also doesn't aggro the purlovia

[celest rampart]

I guess allo isnt much bigger than a theri

[amber cedar]

Jeezus
"Hardest cave in The Island" indeed

[amber cedar]

Finding a high level theri is a major goal of mine, so I can finally do the bosses, even if on gamma level

[celest rampart]

shadowmane with cloak maybe?

[indigo robin]

funny

[celest rampart]

not 100% sure

[indigo robin]

hes the island only btw

[celest rampart]

I did not see that, my b

[indigo robin]

gamma is easy af ngl

[celest rampart]

honestly gamma dragon is harder than gamma overseer

[indigo robin]

you can shotty away beta broodmother if you bring a procoptodon

[indigo robin]

gamma tek cave though

[celest rampart]

we did it with a rag tag team of ankys lmao
