is there a console command to remove this wavy look underwater? im getting seasick of it lol 😦
Anyone looking to join an official crossplay tribe pve starting with the Xbox launch? DM me
Have they said what time the game will come out on Tuesday for Xbox?
don't think so, you'd have to delete the textures completely which would be a big hassle, and not even sure the game would still work. There is a mod that shows all explorer notes on the map tho, you just enable it by holding R, choose "enable" and it shows u the nearest explorer note

Can anyone help I uploaded myself to gen2 to get stuff ..uploaded back to lost when I spawned in .no bed and not owner or in my tribe ..tried dying ..and repeating but nothing .it remember my 103 level though and name
Years of work ..gone
Weird, it seems almost no creatures spawn in ASA Single Player
agreed, definitely
I am even using -preventhibernation (which is what I used to avoid caves and beaver spawn issues in ASE), but it doesn't seem to change anything
yeah, no idea
Guys How much timer Decay timer reset on server crash go stay? to much people spam 1only fundation on all map and dont decay cuz server 2/3h and crash all time timers go to 12h
Anyone else have barely any dinos on ASA single player? Any fixes?
Nothing
I would wager that the map is@over-spawning ichthy birds and piranhas, because there is no@shortage of those.
I got the same issue, no idea. maybe increasing dino count would help
And maybe megalodons, in my opinion
i love losing all my sht because the server crashes rolls back and i cant track my body. happens every fkin hour wtf is wrong with this game u cant even keep the servers up?????
hi guys, i'm playing on non dedicated server with my friend, even though i increase the non dedicated tethering distance, it doesnt seem to work anyone got this issue too ?
it doesn't seem to work for ASA
What a shame....
i really feel like xbox is gunna be delayed, we are so close to release date yet the store for it doesn’t have prices or dates
steam wasn't even on the store until day of wasn't it?
Hi, if I put 2-3 dinos with ryhno pheromons, and let a female ryhno get them pregnant, will only 1 dino get pregnant, or will she attack all dinos with that pheromone?
This server ping is pain
Any Pve hosted servers with Dino additions added???
I'd do them by themselves but you should be able to do all of them with one rhynio. it will run away between attacks tho (supposed to anyway)
take a look in #1110925695900713072
oh that would mean, I also could put 3-4 dinos with pheromon, and she will do that on all four? How long is the time between attacks, can I feed all pheromons at same time?
No luck mostly overly boosted ones I’m seeing
Is an argy with the stats 30 health, 26 stam, 23 weight and 27 malee good pre tame? 🤔
I’ll try looking more
I'd do it once it comes back. no idea how long the pheromones last 
So weird I just looked in my log files in dedicated server and a lot of errors that piranha can't spawn and an huge amount of megs do instead like 5 or 6 in each spot
Anyone else seen this issue or is it a setting I got messed up somewhere
INI to replace Piranhas with coleth fish.. maybe then the errors would go away? I wouldn't be surprised if this is preventing the other Dinos from spawning like they should
Will Xbox Small Tribes Server be crossplay with Win10 all the time like ASE?
Exactly what I thought I know server uses a collective number saying like for example 1000 dinos can spawn and since piranha can't it just bumps megs instead
What is with the game not maintaining your momentum when you jump on a raft? Why would it be so hard to code that in for the duration of your jump?

have they fixed the non dedicated tether distance yet in asa?
Can anyone tell me the Dino tame limit per tribe? Is it the same on an unofficial Nitrado server? Can it be raised? Thanks in advance. 🤙
Can servers stay up for more than an hour? If Star Citizen can do it, this pos can
Hello have they removed Ark Mobile from the playstore
its not back yet? it was removed last month 
Ok thanks wanted to play it abit but oh well
Our dino died because it fell under the map, is there any way to get it back?
Was this on an official server?
Yes, in ASA
is it possible for another tribe to remove my tribe from an alliance if they own the alliance itself?
Nitrado won't allow you to use mods because it would make the server run even worse.
we're on Nitrado and we are using mods
Strange, could have sworn I saw that on their site
Then no. Not that I know of. Unless the server is reset I don't think it's possible to get dinos back from the dead.
does any body wanna play some ark with me
Pve or pvp
dododex seems to be correct on food amounts, but it gets the narcotic amount needed wrong for some things. Anyone else having this issue? Could just be something with my server
asa def changed some rules that ase followed and dododex doesn't line up with asa very well
Anyone found a way to remove 24H cooldown from mindwipe tonic without mods? any commands or server settings?
"On private server you can set bAllowUnlimitedRespecs=true in the section [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] of the Game.ini to be able to use Mindwipe Tonic an unlimited amount of times"
Anyone here know how to fix the water plug-in not working on the asa dev kit
Hey does anyone know if acended will be pre-downloadable on Xbox before Tuesday?
Does any1 know if they are gonna increase structure cap 5000 is not enough for any large scale building 💀
Probably after they've fixed all the other issues with the server stability.
Are 15 rexes lvl 300 good for defeating Manticore alpha on official settings server?
With a yuti as well
Mele damage?
Are bases now taking forever to spawn in for everyone now? I this a server side setting WC changed or cant we control this from our end. Even just spawning in my base now it takes a whole 20 seconds for all structures to appear
I've got mods on my nitrado server :/
I mean I host a nitrado server, use the "curseforge mods" tools on the nitrado hosting website and.. put the mods?
And they work
I hate Troodons...
I hate the new basilosaurus. Completely unplayable as a solo mount in the ocean in its current state
anyone else supply drop beams go away when you take off the clouds through console commands?
not when I turn off clouds. it's related to global illumination. Low disables the beams
ill try changing
anyone else having more crashes recently then before?
no other company can do that thanks to nitrados contract but for ASE there was many hosts out there that would do most of the setup or make it easy as point and click to do it yourself
It gets worse as people get more tames and bigger bases.
Gonna try asking again.
Has anyone solved the Character Creation Screen crash?
why dose looking for a sever suck
man i just wanted a boosted sat server, that pve, and solo friendly,
anyone knows xbox price ?
mostly going to be 40 like on steam
cool
send info
@heavy cedar release the game so we can download
Devs need to fix the low level fatal error crash
Anyone know how to fix ASA Supply drops not rendering in?
The supply crate itself loads in, the beacon of light doesn't.
It makes it insanely hard to find them
SOONtm
Y'all think Xbox is gonna drop on time?
With the way the game is on PC, id say no
Anyone else getting a Fatal error/exception access violation?\
big oof
annoying af
The only way I'm able to find them is if Im looking at the perfect angle and I can see a very very very faint blur of light in the sky.
If they bad players yah imagine building a house with 20k rails in one area I've seen players like that or they try to go 50k like good job
People who build on metal nodes or beaver dams same thing TOTALLY brain ded
I knew a guy who built so much dumb stuff in one area that he got dev wiped completely
Apparently the base was causing instant crashes the moment anyone got near the base
Or u would get caught inside their house because the chunks wouldn't load in the base was invisible do by the time the chubks loaded u were stuck inside his structures
Takes me 2 days to download 
Has anyone noticed when playing with a controller you cannot see the imprint kibble requirement? If you disconnect the controller, it's fine
Does anyone know tha structure limit per like square area in ark? or how big the area is
I know they made it way lower now because some builders don't chill
So they cause legit lag or crash machines
Global illumination on medium
Look up how UE 5.3 works on the buildings. It only has to load 1 foundation or wall. Anything snapped to it is free.
Must have some different reason
what time will the new servers start on November 14????
Some people have said they hit the structure limit here before they said its 5k
Nothing has been mentioned yet
what boss drops the small tek teleporter
I think you have to increase global illuminations in the settings..
December
This monday?
Hello, sorry to bother y'all, but I have some questions about ASA
Go for it
I'm a PlayStation player with 3 years of ark survival evolved official PvE server experience
Is it worth playing it on PC even though I'm waiting to play it on PS5 with my friends? And how will the player toxicity be handled in asa compared to ase?
I want to be optimistic about ark being remastered, but I don't want to relive the same dramas and issues that my tribe leaders and myself had leading up to ase servers shutting down
Sorry if it's a lot. I tried asking in general, but there was a lot of debating going on that I didn't want to disturb anyone in
It's the same game with new graphics.
If you have a good pc yes
Anyway asa is more modern game
More 2023 than 2015
Still buggy
Like all 2023 games tho
Fair. And I assume we'll still have toxic players on ASA?
Yes, and some of them are in this chat room lol. But unreal engine 5 is being used for ASA vs unreal engine 4 for ASE..
There's a lot of great additions, like new AI Dino pathfinding, the build system has been revamped, user interface has been updated. There are a lot of new conveniences, generators are all wireless, water intake and water taps are all wireless (pipeless), extremely far base render distance so things don't just pop in anymore, etc.. for $40, you get every story map and every currently released DLC.. I think it's a great value, and it adds longevity to the game for years to come.
I would advise playing on a dedicated server, it's trivial enough for anyone in your group to host it without paying a hosting company.
does oviratpor not work for arthro eggs atm?
What do I level on Argy
depends what you want it for to carry materials weight and stam to fight prob attack and stam and health if its low health
"There's a lot of great additions, like new AI Dino pathfinding" - have you even played it yet 😂 i can get behind everything but this
Literally just for carrying an anky around
I currently have 700 stam and 530 weight on it
Yes I have, many hours, I can say from personal experience that the 10 raptors I had following me around on a parasaur all over the mountains followed me flawlessly. I stopped every 5 or 10 minutes and counted Chevron to make sure that none of them were missing.. but I admit I haven't had anything else but raptors following me.
I will say this is my standard play style and I always had issues in ASE with raptors getting stuck behind rocks and trees. Maybe I'm just lucky, but you can literally see them slow down and walk around trees and rocks unlike ASE
i would get somewhere around 1k stam the rest into weight then probably find a better argy lol
I couldn't unfortunately because these spawns suck ass
I tried being greedy earlier and knocking an argie without a trap, and mf fell in the water
ooof tough luck
It was 130, I had to settle for a 75
Gotcha. Thank you for your response
spinos( and other big dinos like yutys etc) run left and right continuously for no reason then stand inside u so you cant move, thylas legit jump into you, wild dinos spin around when fighting u if you arent stationary 😂
I saw a mammoth on a quetz and shit myself
haha the new IA = 
At least the game now has a mechanic for better pathfinding, I'm sure it will improve over time
AI?
Yeah this new AI is literally stupider
y
But then again, this version of the game with the new mechanics have only been out for what, a few weeks? ASE has been refined over 7 years..
It is literally the same game, using the same source code
abandoned for years you mean
If you are a constant cynic and pessimist, sure
tbh, idk i preferred old follow system because i cba running left and right trying to get things positioned properly because they cant just follow in a straight line
Definite truth to this, I've had some issues getting things on rafts
if you are fanboy, nop
So that's cool, after picking a dino up with the argie I can only hit it once... any hits after don't register...
i do like the new building features tho atleast 😂 especially the wifi water/electric
You do you boo, lol
What is your best Dino?

If you have DLSS and/or frame gen on, turn that off and you can probably increase the fps cap and have the graphics on a mix of mostly high and some medium
if server crash and down all time how will u use dlss or f geenration lol
I'm looking for a 1x tribe for xbox if you're still looking for m8 feel free to DM me
there is gonna be ark ascend in gamepass?
Is there a time estimate for when servers are dropping on the 14th?
Idk
How comes people recommend to turn off DLSS and frame generation? I thought it’s meant to help?
Yo whats a good video on setting up and hosting a server on my own PC for a few friends?
because for some people it fixes the game crashing constantly some it dont
killed my first deathworm with a lvl 200 wolf jus felt the need to share
Do want me to DM you the YouTube links? There's two particular videos that pretty much cover all the bases for basic self hosting dedicated.
Send me a DM if you do.
Is anyone else getting environmental effects at weird temperatures? I'm "freezing" and it's 60F and I'm wearing full hide
why have i not found a single rex over level 10 out of 20 rexes?
anyone have good settings to mkae the water more clear or is there a mod or what
does scuba mask not work anymore?
remove fog
volumetricfog 0 in command console
Doing NC weather dirty😭 not wrong tho
as a Michigander, I'm insulted by the idea of 60 being freezing
ya what else tho still seems blurry to me at least
post processing to anything not-epic
^^
anyone find a way to make the stat icons in the bottom right corner higher contrast? Can barely see them on like, the beach or in the snow.
anything under 50 is freezing since we only see it near the winter solstice (bit of an exaggeration)
Less than 70 in FL.. snow, what's that? 🤣
It 50 right now in GA
we didnt even get any last year we were so sad yet texas did the year prior
There are water specific commands
r.Water.SingleLayer 0
r.Water.SingleLayer.Reflection 0
To turn them back on change to 1
another example of nc weather the ppl a whole state further south r colder
water single layer to 0 is way too cheesy tho
Agreed, bit he asked the question lol
Dododex's values are correct for ASA. Other than a few creatures, everything is the same as ASE. What specifically was the issue you ran into?
danlev in the wild? holy shit hi
Bro weather here late night and early morning cool down around winter, but mid day better be able to shed some layers lol
Should be correct unless you have a food drain multiplier?
in mid november ppl r complainin abt the heat in the midday its tough down here south but its for a good reason
like can we get a fucking update on to why the game isnt still releasing yet like damn just let us PS5 players know of we will be getting it this month or not stop beating around the bush
I got it working now, turns out i just needed to go to an older game drive and i can run things on epic now
Dododex has been almost spot on every time for me.
As long as you have the proper rates, and food you are using selected, it should be good.
In mutations, how come people breed Health lines separate from Damage lines? Can't I just breed both Health & Damage at the same time? I don't understand how it would be slower. Could someone help me understand?
Max mutations on one side of a family tree is 20, so you breed separate lines to keep from hitting that cap and slowing it down faster
In order to go above 20 mutations you have to keep stacking on one side (it's suggested to be the male side as they can breed with many females and you get mutations faster) and after 20 you cut the speed you get mutations to 50%
We haven't changed anything for that. It was for a beaver. Everything else I've used it for seemed correct!
If you're admin, you can view the assigned multiplier in the admin manager on the left side. Maybe something got changed by mistake
Which food were you using? And do you recall the specific numbers or estimates of how much it was off by?
who knows how to set up a lan server on ASA?
I was using superior kibble. The estimate for narcotics was 12, but I ended up using over half a full stack. The only rate we changed is taming speed and I had it properly set to 2 on dododex.
Which level?
level 45
Can you elaborate? How does breeding for Health & Damage at the same time not allow stacking on one side?
Can't I have say, 19 Health mutations, 2 Damage mutations, both on male side, 0 on female side, bred with a female that has 0 mutations of any kind, and its possible to upgrade that to either 20 Health or 3 Damage mutations?
when are servers coming out on the 14th?
Mutation types are not independent, 1 health mutation and 1 melee is still 2 total mutations. Open your dino and look at 'show ancestry' it will show the total number of mutations from each parent
If you have 20 mutations on let's say female side, mutations can now only occur from the father so it's 50% reduced In occurrence. If you get to 20 on female and 20 on male no more mutations can occur but putting them together on the male side is 40 total and a 0 female can still get more
I believe Sony is/was holding up the certification process.
Dedicated, sure, DM and I'll send you YouTube links
Right, so that 19+2 = 21 total mutations example I used earlier on the male side - the female can still be the source of a mutation, leading to possible 20+2 or 19+3 to be all on the male side, no?
How is that any different than breeding Health & damage separately?
Can you still break the mutation counter to negative numbers?
Hmmm I just tested it on 1x and it was slightly off. 35 narcs instead of 33. Strange. I'll check the torpor rate, but your issue sounds significantly more if you use like 60ish(?) instead of 12?
Hello guys, do you know the launch time on Tuesday?
It doesn't but you can have multiple separate mutation lines going at the same time so you can theoretically get to 20 of each stat faster. In all honesty with the new change where mutations are fully independent of the stat, I don't think it's a bad idea to keep any good stat rolling without caring much
No though expect late european times or afternoon to midday na times
The default food drain multiplier in server settings should be 1, right?
yea
Hello someone from pc, I pressed a button on my keyboard and now I cant see my tribemembers tag or my inventory down below. anyway to fix this?
Hit backspace
ty it worked im new to game xD
No worries, I'd suggest #bobs-with-probs in the future though. Real active help there and mods might get testy here lol
Got it, thanks for answering all my questions!
I will probably just upgrade males whenever I get either a Health or Damage mutation. Maybe having them separate was more of a OCD/QoL thing in the past, since there was no easy way to determine which stats got the mutations?
Hello, have a question: what is respawn time for Silica pearls?
In the past you were forced to use the stat itself so if you focused on the stat mutation itself and discarded others you didn't have to make purfects to start a line, just purfects of that stat
In the past as in in ASE, or in an older version of ASE?
#bobs-with-probs is a better bet but I think it depends on the servers resource respawn rate l, if it's at 1 it's about 4-5h
ASE, in ASA the mutations are fully independent of the stat. You could in theory stack mutations from a level 1 creature without keeping the stat on your final product
Got it, thanks!
Also would you happen to know why Speed doesn't have a Mutation counter in the spyglass UI if it can get mutations? I heard it doesn't do anything but its still weird since Torpor also doesn't have the counter in the UI but can't get mutations
anyone know why my small elevator isnt working? its even powered, it was working for a second then stopped
Speed is gone from vanilla but not removed from the spyglass UI likely cause you can reenable it if you want. Torpor isnt stat you can level it's based on the dinos info
Worth noting reenabling speed makes wild levels go to speed and get wasted on flyers
Wouldn't it make more sense for the speed to have the mutation counter in the UI then?
I think mine has it but it's all Xs, can't remember off hand
anyone uised g portal hosting before?
i have a server going but cant find it? its online
Ask questions in #bobs-with-probs for better support
So after some testing, it looks like the torpor rate (+narcotics numbers) don't line up with what's in the dev kit. I just slightly boosted Dododex's torpor rate of the beaver to match the in-game numbers, but it's a very small bump. The 12 narcs you were seeing will now be 14. Still not sure why yours was so high though.
Yo i need some help my ark wont load any of the dino textures i remember having this problem a while ago but i forgot how to fix it and all the tips on google arnt working
Dododex is an awesome resource, glad to know you are sticking with it.
We figured it out, the admin claimed he didn't mess with anything, but he did. Took a bit to make him admit he messed it up, but we got it fixed now. Sorry to make you look into it when it was our fault, but I'm happy you found something that made it worth looking into. Thanks for the response!
Has anyone had an issue with their female character models on private servers changing to a completely different character model? The head doesnt fit the hair now and has a huge bald spot and is chunkier/taller. It's happened to every female character on a private server.
With Genesis not out yet, does that mean creatures can only gain 73 lvls vs the 88 lvs?
My buddy has a darker skin tone and light beard on his female model now 🤣🤣🤣 we laugh as it adjust over time
or is there even a max lvl ceiling on official servers?
Should still be 88
Yeah its also affecting male characters too some randomly have different hairstyles or different beards, I wish I knew what caused it lol
It seems like the models completely changed because using scissors none of the hairstyles fit now
I hadn't noticed that Dododex has a "Presets" drop-down.. I was just typing level/tame/drain numbers in and pressing go, and the site wasn't lining up with my game (i was playing medium difficulty, asa) ... I haven't used the site yet since I discovered the drop-down lol but I'm sure it works perfectly.
Oh great. Yeah, the presets are all different from ASE, so you definitely need to use those on Dododex to get the correct numbers.
EU-PVE-TheIsland5179 Uptime
7 Days: 66% xDDD
No problem! 😄
We still good for the console release on the 14th?
I didn’t see any update in #766826918803800074
Yea so far it’s still on track for the 14th
@finite bone havent touched it since that first performance patch, did it really work?
I havnt had much performance issue from day 1 even with my 1080ti. My big issue is the crashes, which are better save for the inventory fatal error I still get
Hmm. Will have to try it out again.
Is there transfer between servers?
Not until Scorched presumably but I believe early on they mentioned not until Extinction
Any word on 2171? It's been down for hours!
Does anybody (official) actually respond to people posting server numbers in here? Or are people just shouting into the void to feel better? Legitimate question
can anyone helo me i have a bug where i cant see anything in my inventory
Might you just have the folders option selected?
if i report to remove some fundation he go help me? just have some thach fundations on my base form other tribe but guy dont login more and server crash timer reset....
nope ill take a quick demo video
#bobs-with-probs is your best bet
no
Looks like LtBuzzLitebeer is just trying to make people mad posted a video yesterday saying Console delays etc then said it’s in wildcards community crunch I just checked the community crunch it literally says can’t wait for next week to see the Xbox launch
Freaking misinformation
Alguien que hable español ?
¿Tienes una pregunta?
no solo queria buscar alguien con quien jugar 🥲
mira en este canal..
Yea also I’m not sure on the amount of Ark players per system but I’d be really surprised if PlayStation has a higher player base on Ark then Xbox you know the system you get to play it on gamepass
Ark Ascended News Twitter/X account is fan made and is using the Twitter Blue subscription. It is not officially verified, it would be a gold verification mark if it were.
Ah okay
Good to know, deleting my previous statement then.
Yea being able to pay for verification is stupid
asa is releasing on this Tuesday right?
Yea
is it confirmed?
How do i get an otter
As confirmed as can be
Yes check community crunches in #announcements
Kill fish carry fish to otter
Sony needs to stop their postponing of games
How do you tame the Brachiosaurus?
What they need is a new board of directors that was responsible for the regime change during the release of the PS4. That when their focus took a gigantic 180 and went from consumer focus to just exclusives and the profits they make on them.
Yea I have every console but haven’t had a reason to upgrade to the ps5
I used to be pure PS from Original up to the PS4, but the change at the end with Sony made me realize it was time to go. Xbox and PC is where I am staying now. Phil Spencer is making good moves with Xbox.
when will be ark playable on pc??? only down conections and rollbacks all day
Can’t wait for Asa in 2 days ps gonna be lit
You mean Xbox right? Cause PS isn't releasing this week. at least I'm pretty sure its not.
I'm assuming you have the mod. I believe the Brachy is a simple knock out tame. I could be wrong I've only played with that mod once and that was on ASE.
anybody else crashing a lot when trying to paint? 😅
I crash all the time sadly =/ everytime I open or close my inventory or look at something wrong.
Painting is the devil 😈
last update definitely made the game worse, literally cant even swim because oxygen goes down from server ping delay and doesn't register being above water, cant even shoot crossbow more than 1x without having to unequip and re-equip
Ichthyosaurus is the most useless mount ngl
sarco is superior to it in literally every aspect
Itchy doesn’t get attacked by other Dinos and it is immune to torpor, so can hunt euclys on bottom of ocean
It’s also a super ez tame and gives quick cave access in a pinch
doesn't matter, sarco can just beat the shit out of anything that isn't an alpha mosa/tuso
and is also easy to tame
Do I need to have a charcarodontosaurus saddle in order to tame it?
you can literally tame it while riding a moschops
To be fair, I love sarcos. Just pointing out itchy uses
Best bet to Google it, but 99% sure no saddle needed to tame any dino
i have come to see the daily : my server is down put it back up spam .. lol
I’m not painting
eels want to know your location
Eels are ez
Only one would be the titanosaur but that’s a lil different than your everyday tame lol
WHy are servers crashing every 2 hours ?
Memory issues
I keep crashing with the inventory bug and access memory message. Does anyone have a "fix" for those?
Megatherium on breeding calculator 92 hours 35 min of maturation Megatherium on offical servers 168 hours x)
I found the console command
ark.VertexCountScaling 1
Greatly reduces the inventory-exit crashes
are the beehives just in the redwoods now?
or are they still in that north eastern mountain area
Think I've seen them somewhere else too. Can't remember
i saw 2 queen on the green ob in the water, (you can easy tame them on water)
I should probably download Kraken's Better Dinos mod, so that other dinos are more useful
if you get killed by the world barrier do your items get deleted
[]:
any ps5 update?
I just want to play without getting clapped by speed hack
Nope
Then you have to play unofficial
Since asa is only for new gen(xbox x/s) when it comes out n i dont have x/s will i be able to download it to my pc win 10 ?
what a console commned i can use for up fps, i play ASA with GTX 1050 2GB and iam got 25fps, and can drop to 10fps if to much entities like a tree or speed to move camera
Bro delete the game
thats good idea bro , but this love for the game cant do that 😦
Buy a cheap Konsole
there is basically nothing you can possibly do to make ASA playable on a GPU about 4 times below the minimum spec. a 1050 can barely run original ark..
You dont even meet minimum specs bud
Like the Xbox Series S i bought mine used for 120€
if i have money i think to upgrade my GPU bro 😦
Just go back to ase, you arent missing much. Work on upgrading later
wdym "doesn't get attacked"?
a series S is actually also worse than the min spec, by a good bit.. slightly better than a 1050, though
not going to be a fun time
i know that, yeah but i still try and i can play but with
patience
Nope you are completely wrong xD
if your GPU is that old and low ends, good odds your CPU and everything else is also way below requirements.. if not, you can get a huge upgrade over that without spending very much
You are literally torturing your system lol
nope i am completely right and can quote the specs of the thing by rote if you actually know enough about hardware to care
true, but I can still play even with patience, you can see my gameplay on my YouTube channel account, I made several videos there using a VGA GTX 1050 2GB
yeah bro haha, but idk I really want to play this, even though there are many shortcomings on my device
turning off volumetric clouds via command should give a small boost to performance, at that point there is not much reason to have them..
it is going to become unplayable as soon as you start building up big, though
At first I was pessimistic, so I said, I can still play but with extra patience if I suddenly experience a drop in fps.
what time do u guys think the shadow drop would be?(if it is one) time zone with it please
yeah I've done this, sometimes I can get up to 50fps in games but it's not stable, have you visited my youtube channel, it's on my profile, to see what I feel when playing ASA with my current device.
..it actually looks like survival evolved, terrifying
i guess if all low looks like ASE on half-decent graphics without all the lighting bugs, that is still a win
exactly right
Its not only about the power the xbox one x has more power then the series s but the s is still better and an next gen console. And also its easier to optimize for two xboxes then for thousands of graphic cards
'optimize' is a magic word gamers throw around a lot. it does not actually work that way for the people doing it.
especially not for a project using an existing crossplatform engine and not making major changes to it
not to mention modern consoles are literally PCs
Does a rtx4090 at 4k can run asa only with 30fps and its also about optimization or you wanna say the rtx4090 isnt strong enough
no, because that is utter bullshit
That's right, I call it being able to play but full of patience, this is the risk when you want to play but no one understands and supports you, even on your own device.
Now you dont know what to say
I am very grateful for your attention
yeah, i dont have any reason to waste time formulating an intelligent response to someone saying a 4090 gets 30 fps, i dont feed trolls
At 4k
Look yt
Well he is not wrong. Have you tried all epic at 4K?
can you still pick vaults with a rhynio?
God karks are such a pain tame 
Yes
Short question are the random dx crashes finally fixed? Can i come back to play ark?

does anyone know how long it takes for them to reply to support tickets about people using abusive language and talking about doing things to children?
On this discord or ark? For ARK it'll be quite some time. Discord support is quite speedy tho
are the new servers on the 14th going to be crossplay with steam or only microsoft/xbox/ps?
Anyone know anything about transfers?
on ark i put in a ticket we been dealing with them on our offical server for like a week now n multipule reports been put in
Nah I need it to get delayed (I'm broke and can't afford it rn)
What if it’s on game pass
r.VolumetricFog 0 r.VolumetricCloud 0 grassEnable 0 These console commands improve GPU frame rate
How's Ark Ascended now?
It's not gonna be
Suprise drops happen but on a Tuesday? For a big game
Does anyone know if the community maps like ragnarok are coming in the future?
- it's early access. The only early access game ik on gamepass is that one potion game
people are crashing the server and there is no fix for it. i wish the worst to whoever responsible for this
So glad I play single player
Scorched is in December
Whats an argy hotspot on extinction? I can barely find any
Thanks 🙏
Tuso is currently bugged i think. Have lost two dinos on its clutches. It just won't allow me to feed the black pearls
how come in asa, even though i have speed leveling and flyer speed leveling on i cant level my flyers speed?
I think they removed movement speed levels all together not 100% sure tho
Yea. Not the map for argy.
Download the mod. Their settings are bugged
Okay? Didnt ask for that. I dont play with transfers
Heard that alot.
Good luck then
Ty, already found a 135 so im good
Rates need to be 1.5x because of all the server outages and rollbacks anything maturing or incubating is almost twice as long
do turrets shoot down rockets yet?
I think so
Ah great!
i had turrets and they shot rockets down for me
Yea, but targeting on turrets still bad
fr hopefully the patch if it drops tomorrow fixes some bugs etc
just logged on for the first time in a while since it actually looks like they've fixed loads, some guy speed hacking legs iit past me on the beach like road runner lol. not the best start
Yep. Hacks have been a thing for a week now or so
typical ark experiences XD
bro mid artifact of the hunter run i realized my otter was still on my shoulders....
SHOOT BUG, i dont undestand that i cant shoot more that 2 arrows , or one shoot with rifle, almost i need to change to another weapon and tanh reload 😭
Put 1 artifact in the otter and wait for it to respawn and take 1 yourself
good idea
maybe it wasnt a mistake after all XD
Yep... I hoped they would fix that in ASA 🤢
also he can carry my things when i get loot
otters are amazing
Yea. Here and PvP is cool.
Most civil I’ve ever seen the Ark community I like it
jesus christ the game bugged and all the sudden like 11 bats spawned
i almost freaking died
next time im bringing a flamethrower
and a rocket launcher
these bats got no sht on me
alright got the artifact
im not ready to fight the boss so
ima just wait for it to respawn and meanwhile finish making my parasaur plushie
do i have to move away from the place where artifact spawns or can i just wait there?
Na, it can spawn next to you
okay sweet
imma just hangout with ma man Luke (the otter)
Omg something happened on Ark quick post it on discord for attention
I think if you don't want to hear about things happening on ark you should leave the ark channel
He's just a crazy old man
^
Sames xx
So since asa has no movement speed, is it impossible to get a mutation in the skill? Or is it invisible and still possible to get points in muts?
For some reason caves can have dinos spawn in on top of u
So i assume there are a lot of servers perma down at the moment? not just resetting? I only recently woke up and cant get on at all to feed babies 😦
yea it nearly gave me a heart attack
just strolling down the stairs and suddenly an army of bats
I’ve had a lot of stuff spawn in on top of me, must be a new cave feature
altho i kind of like the dread of exploring a cave with a shotgun and a flashlight
sorry if im wierd
Cave spawns have always been weird
Not this weird, I’ve never had them spawn on top of me in Ase before, they def changed something
my sister's cat regulary kills me in ark
how?
when im flying he jumps on my keyboard and pressed E and i fall XD
If you’re going to delay console ark please let us know now lots of us are taking off school and work and really need to know @heavy cedar don’t wait till tomorrow please @viral shore
If not we chillin
i think he's just trying to attack the griffin im flying bc it only happens if im flying the griffin
what's it called
Does anyone know when there will be a server wipe (any server), or a new one will be created? (Official)
tmr
Does anyone know if the building limit still exists? Like the limit that stops you building anymore?
im pretty sure it was more than half an hour and the artifact is not here :/
U have to be out of render/sight for it to respawn
Yes you can’t camp the spot.
Anyway to override that at all? Just wondering for when our big builds get going xD
How do i get Chinese to show up? The Chinese on our server can read their symbols and english so i should be able to do the same?
Installed the Windows language packs, nothing works
@weary mist yes there an option for it
is the patch 26.15 coming for unoficial servers?
@viral shore can we have SA servers on ASA
Hey sorry just catching up now any news on release time ? Pre loads or anything
There won't be a preload. It'll just drop, purchase then download & play
That’s sad as by time I’ve downloaded the steam players will have flooded the cross play servers
Thanks 🙂
Yeah. WC never confirmed. ASA on Steam had no preload.
Same with ASE on Steam and Xbox back in the day. No preload
It's the 14th here in Australia in 1 hour roughly
It won't surprise me if wc locks servers to xbox only until players on xbox get started
Would be cool
However official is in a weird spot right now
I'm hoping for a playstation release date
I honestly feel bad for you guys, we joke about console wars but this is not fair
14th in 11h here in Poland, 💀
They f’ed you guys bad
Well I have xbox amd a pc as well however it's poorly optimized right now
Not cool wildcard not cool
just a random question but are unoficial servers also such a mess since they both hosted by nitrado
Only issue I really have is rubberbanding
It will probably have an est release date
eh id say 1am on the 15th xD uk time
You Can do some form of preloading using the Xbox mobile app as a placeholder about 350mb in size.
10:00 am est
Also I'm not really sure if the game will actually come to gamepass since Sony paid more to pit it on playstation plus
On pc steam we were able to download the game around 9pm roughly lol
It’s not coming to Gamepass. At least not yet. They need the money lol.
@heavy cedar 2149 down for 10hrs fix plz
@heavy cedar same with 5180 down for hours
As I was saying Sony paid a million dollars more to put it on their subscription service
😦 a midnight release would be super cool. I just know that on the switch they wait til around 10:00 am eastern time.
Ooh. Link? It’s cool they’re getting it for ps+. Will that be day one?
Is there any mod or app that helps with spawn commands and quality/quantity/etc for single player instead of having to look up every command and type it out?
Hi guys I need your help
What setting should i turn off so that object / terrain far from me don't get blur it's looking very ugly right now
Hmm let me open ark and see btw thanks for help
motion blur blur when u move camera and low resolution scale makes things blurry for me
Could you please screenshot me your settings screen ?
well my game is all settings low and res scale at 100% and all the stuff is turned off like motionblur etc
Hmm ok let me give it a try
also try the command to remove fog
Can I DM you in case needed?
sure
I am very new to ark soooo....
🥲
Let me start with setting then maybe commands and stuff
sure dm me i can send u the command they also increase fps
Welcome to hell
It also wouldn't surprise me if they delayed it day of release
nope and the game didn't release on xbox yet
Another thing playstation players this isn't the first time a game that has crossplay has been delayed
[]:
: ▯▯▯▯▯
When we get ORP servers?
do i report people being in a tribe of more than 10 in smalltribes under a code of conduct violation? or is there a seperate team for fair play moderators etc
Do we have a release time yet? I know it's 14th November
Probably around 10 am est
Let’s hope not.
Like skull and bones
Hey guys, what was the price for ARK on XBOX? just curious
Ase or asa
They should do a sale but I doubt it
So the price is not there yet? The same way as on PC only with release?
What's the point?
Dollie
44.99
That's what it says on the wiki
Read the pinned comment
Dollie said they would have a sale.
so the same price.. I need to buy high end PC and then pay the same price as consoles? Great XD
Yes?
It will be 40 at launch
Lol
I mean years ago games for PC were cheaper then dor consoles
But nowadays they are the same
As they should
Because of the amount of players
From a pinned message
ASA prices for different countries:
-
UK: £34.19
-
US: $40.49
-
EU: €40.49
-
CA: $55.19
-
AUS: $63
-
SAR: 337.50 ZAR
-
NZ: $58.04
-
PK: $14.49
-
IN: ₹3330
-
BR: $198.00
** -
These prices are currently the discounted prices on PC. These are set to change from November 1st as that’s when the launch discount will expire for PC.
-
Console will have its own discount at launch, which will be the prices currently pinned, the prices will rise by $5 for PC .**
Yeah, I saw the prices for PC. The only good price is at South Asia 
That's the equivalent of us dollars if 40
PK: $14.49
totally XD
I want the same equivalent in my country
where I can buy dollars 3 times cheaper
Servers literally getting worse and worse, but ya lets release it on another platform. Must hope Xbox hired extra customer service
Anyone know what time they usually online new servers?
Like tomorrow Xbox version launches... what time is it launching
that's what I'm talking about. There is no certain time frame
when did the servers go online for ASA launch then? Afternoon, morning? Night?
ich bin ein erfahrener spieler und suche einen tribe!
Hab mehr als 10k Stunden ark Erfahrung und bin regelmäßig am Start!
Something like 2-3:00 UTC
Be carefull. You can't use any language but English here
Okay let me ask this if the game launches on the day they said will everyone be happy or still complain about how unoptimized it is
Happy
no matter when it launches it will be unoptimized XD
Whats xbox have for cpu/gpu equiv?
I’m used to ark being shit
It's amd based
I have a 3090, and 10700k and I have to turn off a ton of crap and lower graphics
Expect it to run at low/medium settings
They spent like 8 months moving ASE to UE5 can it be perfect? No. Can It be better then ASE after 8 years? No
And the biggest complaint people have is the optimization
Because even Ase didn't become great after 8 years
Cheaters and optimization
What's the point of good game if you can't play it?
As you said ase was unplayable too until a certain point
On my server I built a huge stone base and keep nothing inside, never been raided.... but my 2x2 loot base is raided daily.
they say if you switch off the clouds it will run much better 1080p
I switch off clouds, fog, water reflection, turn grass off
if I dont it uses 100% gpu
so you are playing ASE with bad visuals now XD
exactly
That's how pvp is played tho
I have 3060ti medium\low and it's something like 45fps with alot of drops
I didn't try clouds yet
Away from a computer during holidays
I'm just curious how ASA will be played on Consoles
Expect roughly the same settings and performance
Just remember CP2077
Any news on pre download?
It wasn't the same as PC
I would love to see ASA with the wavy water of Atlas 😄
I think there won't be any
no pre-order - no pre download
Don’t think they’ve given one yet mate
@viral shore @peak finch @tall minnow pls fix the intelligence of the dinos, can't be intelligent if you stand 2meters in front of them and they just turn around and walk a cirle to just fall again the steps down you got them just up, to make their imprint, this is realy driving crazy, if they kept running in cirles, and turn back, so as to just fall again the entire way down, instead of follow you in a straight line. Thats not intelligent, thats just stupid :I
you expect too much from creatures with small brain
and I'm not talking about dinos XD
Just joking
is there crossplay with steam and xbox tommorow ?
i just downloaded ark survial evolved can somone tell me the settings for the max / best graphics?
does it say not available seperatley for any one else who trys to pre order on xbox?
should be. Like the same day release for consoles and PC
i just downloaded ark survial evolved can somone tell me the settings for the max / best graphics?
search for configs in google there should be some good ones
what i dont understand
i just want my game to look very realistic
There should be ready to go config files in the internet. Just download, put into the folder - all settings done
I've got same card and 35-55fps on epic-high 1080p, didn't turn anything like clouds off, only some optimizing like nanite max pixels per edge set to 2, or unlocking whole memory + some steam launch optimizations that don't downgrade graphics
uhm i dont understand can u like senda tut?
just search "ark survival evolved config". There will be alot of different presets
okay
If it's the same as ASE - days
i cant find any
Is there an ini code to allow foundations to stack on each other? I loved S+ specifically for that and finding flat ground to build isn't an easy feat.
35 is still unplayable for me XD I'm very sensitive to fps drops. I fell sick when they go from ~60 to ~30
how can i make the game look very realistic?
it is stable 45-48 99% of times, with drops to 35 during evening when its glitchy sometimes, for me its enough for this gpu
bruh i want graphics like mrmemoa guy
He Plays at 1440p
how can i play at 1440?
When do the crossplay servers drop tmrw?
Do yo8 have a monitor to support that resolution
on which game ark ascended or evolved ?
are u talking about mr memoa new videos ?
idk but i just got ark
i want to maximise my graphics
how can i make it look the best
Set everything to epic
well ark survival evolve is old game dude maybe u confuse it with ark ascended
At 1080p the game won't look realistic
i just dont want the trees to look bluury
That's a problem with unreal engine 4
do the new servers come out today?
can u check dms
PvP servers you are allowed to build in caves that block artifacts? Or will you get dev wiped
when today is the ark xbox news
I didn’t even know we’re supposed to get news on the game since it drops tomorrow.
it said in their latest community crunch that we would get more xbox launch news next week, which is today
It says current server version is 26.15 that was released 2 days ago but i have updated several times and its still 26.11. When is the new server version going to be released?
Interesting
Change INI
Tomorrow at the same time as Xbox release
So we all have the same version
What time is Xbox release tomorrow?
at what time does new servers start tomorrow?
are there new pc small tribe servers dropping tmr?
cant find any offical confirmation
I hope morning or midday
I see a problem with crossplay pvp
Ok bet because I’m tryna pre download I still got classes during the day
In crossplay pvp the biggest problem will be uncapped frame rates
Not only that pc players have access to other settings to help in pvp
Still waiting for the predownload on xbox too
and praying for that 1% chance it's on gamepass as well
would be really nice
prayge
Don't think it will be on gamepass
It won't be on game pass right away
btw what time zone is wild card in ?
Anyone know the release time?
You never know I mean they are partnered with xbox and ark 2 and se is on gamepass
It more than likely won't be I agree but you never kjnow
it’ll be a while I think before it comes to gamepass
Only reason there could be a slight chance it’s on gamepass is cos we’re not able to actually buy it yet or anything like that
It's already been stated that there would be a charge for the game splitting up ark 2 and asa into 2 different bundle instead of one it's not gonna be free so save your money it's probably 40$
anyone know if the xbox release got delayed from being tommorow
It's tomorrow
@dreamy ore where you get your name from?
Been awhile since I've actually had to use a raft. How much of a hit do they count towards your tame limit?
What time zone do wild card go off ?
Nickname from family why?
You will want to know what time it is for snail games
@dreamy ore just Dm'd you but i was one Ceph Redstar lol
cool, thanks
Not sure on the tame count cost but we had a really nice raft, took It out on Sat night and an alpha Leedsichthys 2 shot it and sent it to the bottom
rip
Aye they are deadly in this, been tanked up
The games release was pst
Los Angeles is there location
Any idea at what time tmrw game is gonna be released on xbox
did anyone else wake up this morning to all of thier progress on singleplayer gone?
👋 How to prevent ASA game from overwriting GameUserSettings.ini ?!?
Meaning, on my server, yes nitrado sadly, GameUserSettings.ini gets rewritten with some random configs and sometimes it brakes our settings - is there a way to prevent this from happening ?!?
It probably requires years of dev time to do that ...
And yes - we have ALL sections in our config file, it still overwrites it...
More current players in ase then in asa,WOW
Lmao your right it’s like 45-42k that’s wild 😛
Plz WC don’t kill it
I think the game is pretty fun tbh the launch was terrible but it’s improved drastically
I agree
I agree,but crashing is getting annoying and it’s been a few days with 0 fixes and that’s by itself is concerning
I haven’t been crashing at all. Is it your server crashing or you
Anyone know when is the release of crossplay tomorrow?
ok i need a little help with asa if anyone can. (Single player/ASA) I woke up this morning and the game wonted me to configure everything like i just installed it for the first time. And it wont let me resume my single player as its acting like i never played before. The mods are still installed. i had to reup the approval for mod use. But every time i go to join singleplayer i get its not responding. I validated the game files already as well
i cant find any beehives, are they just more scarce now?
Nope,high end pc on unofficial,just cuse u didn’t crash doesn’t make the problem,not a problem lmao
reinstall id say
so does that meen my progress from launch is lost?
If u didn’t make any backup then mabe
any idea what might have caused this issue?
if you look through your saves folder you should see several backup files. Copy one of them over the last save. You will lose some progress as you are effectively doing a rollback, but maybe not much is lost.
Theyre hard to see, we found 2 in the redwoods you just have to go around looking slowly.
thank you all for the help. I am reinstallling the game which will take 6 hours
ive been looking all morning lol
@everyone Hello , can someone help me to fix crashing in single everytike i open fridge and transfer egg my game crash , please help
My server suddenly spoils meat really fast. I haven't changed any settings. Any known issues with that?
Does anybody have a MOD to pass the Tethering Distance in ASA?
Does anyone think they will do a black friday sale on this game? Most probably not right?
got my last artifact
next objective:
Fight the easy ragnarok portal
wish me luck
they haven’t said yet but apparently they usually release games at 10am EST which would be late evening on the 14th for us in europe
Here's a QnA for you all based off of logic & reasoning.
The order of release for each & every Official DLC Map goes as follows; this is based off the order in which the ASA Community Creature Votes were held:
Scorched Earth
Ragnarok
Aberration
Center
Extinction
Valguero
The others can only be speculated in their order until their respective votes come (and yes, Valguero WILL be the next ASA vote)
This is copy & pasted, but I will try to update it as we get more information and as the maps release.
Can anyone tell me what exactly was fixed from ASE to ASA? I defended WC after release, but the more I play the more I notice the same old stuff and some things are actually worse (looking at you floating rocks EVERYWHERE).
Isnt there a slider in the settings for that, or not in asa?
- babies falling through mesh in the latest update (presumably)
- building system is no longer buggy as hell
- pathfinding has been tremendously improved (the bar wasnt very high to begin with to be fair but still)
- multiple building piece consolidations that ultimately helps save a lot of time and resources
just to name a few off of the top of my head
Yes but it doesnt work
stuck at 180meters
Any update on the release time ?
11:59 Dec 31
Rag center and val are mod maps
@rotund sundial I guess I was being a little bit facetious, but how do you bill something as a largely graphical update and not match the textures to the mesh -- making everything so glaringly ugly?
They were officially added to game as maps you can play...
What's your point?
This isn't a the turnabout "OBJECTION!" you think it is.
You said they are official maps and they are not, paid dlc maps are official and the Centre, rag and val are mod maps, im just saying yoy are wrong calling them official.
@clever cave No, you're wrong. They are official maps. They are not story maps. They are officially released maps.
XD ok thats just being pedantic, by that logic all maps are official lol
yeah no ive also encounted the floating rocks you're talking about and it looks horrid. I don't really recall it happening for some others I've watched through YT so maybe its just a processing issue related to hardware maybe?
Downloadable Content
Officially Endorsed & Approved by Studio Wildcard
This is pretty cut & dry... Just saying.
Has chat Settled down
@clever cave the point is quite literally that WC took them under their wing and released them as "official" maps to the basegame, not found on the workshop. they wholly endorsed these projects and worked on them themselves
Ok but that is true for every map on official lol
Not saying you're wrong but don't most folks use official to refer to the type of administration nowadays? Rather than WC vs Community/Mod maps?
@rotund sundial Streamers might be playing with low foliage which could reduce the floating scree problem. It annoys the hell out of me. It's glaringly obvious in the north where I base.
I don't think most maps have the honor of coming pre packaged with the game on consoles or being listed as DLC by wildcard as opposed to being stuck in Workshop Limbo... Just saying
i get it bad too since im based in my SP on the tiny hill north of the redwoods with obsidian and stuff, i really wanna figure out what's wrong with it
Which one? #general is ravid
Right, it just seems wierd to not mention every other non story map then in that case as they are all "official" too.
Do you know what the steam workshop is?
@rotund sundial I stream too and had a meltdown (much to my chagrin) when I went searching for bee's nest outside the redwoods and they were all buried in the cliffsides.
I'm an Xbox player ffs and I know what the workshop is.
Understandable if he doesnt
Didn't mean that as rude
Im just saying that you mentioned 3 mod maps as official leaving off half the others that have also been released as "official" under your terminology
My terminology is fine, you just need to understand what we're saying
Like all of them on official servers are official. Thats why we separate them as story maps and non story. Lol
If its a map you get from WC and not steam workshop, its official
Not knowing what workshop is fine, pretending to for argument sake is childish
so basically you're just arguing semantics under the pretense of "well you didn't say these OTHER maps that fit the criteria"? alright, cool, anyways then
Well, that still means they are maps that that are being added to the game.
So my list still stands.
Yeah but your list leaves off half the other official maps xD
And hell, I addressed that at the end of my list, we simply don't have enough information to place the other maps
The order of release for each & every Official DLC Map goes as follows; this is based off the order in which the ASA Community Creature Votes were held:
Scorched Earth
Ragnarok
Aberration
Center
Extinction
Valguero
The others can only be speculated in their order until their respective votes come (and yes, Valguero WILL be the next ASA vote)
This is copy & pasted, but I will try to update it as we get more information and as the maps release.
Read it again for me
Kids ig
The others can only be speculated in their order until their respective votes come
this conversation is pointless, winter is just pushing the point for no reason when its ultimately trivial to discussion to pick and prod at something like that. begging the question, so to speak
lets not just run in circles around the same redundant point over and over again
Official maps, according to the wiki are island, scorched, aberration, extinction and genesis. Then the mod maps are rag, val, crystal and fjordur. They are all official lol
To put it simply, no ASA Community Creature vote?
Not on My list.
The only exception being Valguero, as it has been confirmed that it will be the next vote when they resume them next year.
Could the devs not fix single player to feel more like a Story RPG progression balanced toward single player.?
...
Nah, we gotta do Fjordur first
Most likely, I wonder what funky crazy creatures will be imagined by the community.
Maybe the crab will return?
He was awesome
im still mad the darwinsaurus got voted out so quickly for extinction lmfao
Can anyone provide a verified link to this map release list? I havent seen this confirmed by Wildcard yet and am interested.
highly situational, prolly wouldn't see much use outside of extinction just due to how it functions, but it still looked awesome idk
@iron zinc It's supposition based on the order of the creature votes.
I made it myself... It's speculative.
I said it myself
there is a temp roadmap created by wildcard
Ahh so no verification from Wildcard yet.
And that one places all of the Story maps before the Custom Arks
It all depends on if Ragnarok or Aberration is announced next.
@rugged crypt tysm for the link!
yeah the custom arks are free to speculation as they mention it vaguely to implement over 2024
Do y’all think the Xbox release will be delayed?
nah I think it'll be fine
It's slightly outdated though, as SOTF & Scorched Earth are coming in December
"All the community-created maps are also to be released over time in 2024 (Fjordur, Ragnarok, The Center, Lost Island, Valguero, Crystal Isles)" oh shit so we're getting primarily story maps first potentially? the wording obviously leaves a lot to be imagined but if they want to keep to their original timeframe of all maps out by dec 2024 then surely they at least drop SE before new years?
could be staggered too
SE -> Center -> Abb -> Rag
It is very outdated even, this was April 7 '23, but this is the only confirmed 'roadmap' by wildcard, and yeha you're right they changed these
Im hoping Center comes sooner than later
The Hopium Tanks have been deployed ⛽⛽⛽
all aboard the speculation train! 😄
center is going to look gorgeous, but frankly I just want ANY map to drop because im so exhausted of the island's low-weighted dino levels
it makes me want to cry
The only reason I placed Ragnarok before Center in my list was because of one fact.
Ragnarok's vote came before The Center's.
no game, i dont want yet another level 30 theri
Me an my guys HATE the island. Almost not worth playing
There is a lack of high end creatures on the island yeah
I don't care who the IRS sends, I'm not taming a level 5 Rex!
is there not a way to pump that up without changing the difficulty and max level?
Difficulty IS THE WAY to boost those
for any non-knowers, the island is weighted to spawn lower-level dinos at a higher average since its meant to be the starter map of ark. finding a creature above level 70 is exceptionally rare
Even dino wipes dont affect much
The Island is the most balanced map of them all. Who cares if you can't just stumble over a dozen max level dinos on a morning walk?
but I wouldn't want level 180 dino's etc. I would just want higher levels to spawn more frequent, if possible
Difficulty just makes the Creatures tougher.
By making them spawn in higher level increments.
gets a bit tiresome seeing lv1 spinos though
That would be Level 6 difficulty.
Weird but okay.
@vernal garnet Its not the dinos its the map
except for the fact that dinos spawning at a lower level intentionally gates off progressing through the endgame and doing caves/bossfights because you literally dont hav creatures strong enough to do those activities
So ark deffo getting released tomorrow? For xbox?
Just use max difficulty bro
The Bosses are tied to difficulty too, so taking on Gamma Broodmother at difficulty 1 with level 30 megatherium (before breeding & tame boost) is effectively on par with Gamma Broodmother on Difficulty 5 with 150 Megatheriums.
again, the island is weighted to spawn lower level creatures. max difficulty only increases the ceiling they can spawn at, but they still primarily spawn below level 70 a large amount of the time
Technically yes
well, sort of
wildcard lied to us all. We get the exact same bugs as we did in evolved.
joining servers is super buggy, they crash 20 times per day. You get net errors way to **** *** ***** often and then you have to join trough single player
So island with 5 difficulty is average level 77 (150-5)/2, what is it for other maps when also set to max level 150?
@rotund sundial
ive noticed that creatures are spawned based on set intervals that are dictated by dividing the max level cap, so technically by that logic if it were a higher cap above 150 or so then the average level of a creature would be like level 120 if the cap was 300, 240 if the cap was 500, so on and so forth
Difficulty is just the "steps" of levels.
1-30 on Difficulty One
2-60 on Difficulty Two
3-90 on Difficulty Three
4-120 on Difficulty Four
5-150 on Difficulty Five.
still, the point is that if you're playing at vanilla max level cap (150) then you hardly ever find anything thats worth actually taming is the problem
its just an issue with the island exclusively
What does the map have to do with this
i-
I dont get it
do i need to repeat myself again
Because this explanation aint it
It's spawns are automatically weighted to be lower level
That's literally the explanation
the island, the map itself, forces dino spawns to be on average a lower level than normal
Nothing else
no other map does this
Mathematically how
because the island is designated as the starter map so it naturally spawns lower level creatures
nop still crashing
Technically, Ragnarok does the opposite, it actually forces the Dino levels on the higher margin if I remember correctly
really?
damn, no wonder people feel dopamine playing that map
i never even realized, if thats actually true
Scorched also has those levels
Which
Trash ones
Well I think this is harder than evolved was even though its obviously the same map. Scorched was a huge challenge. Im looking forward to scorched earth on steroids
Not that I mind, the dinos will still tear you a new one anyway
Come to think of it. Any map that's not one of those Community ones have trash levels
👀
Technically, it IS literally harder due to a bug.
Temperatures are FUNKY on the island right now
reading a few posts now that are saying that yeah, arlie
supposedly every story map is weighted low and every community map is weighted high
...that... That might be the reason why Wildcard didn't want Rockdrakes on Custom maps...
Now I want to make a map that is weighted towards the average
you reckon it'd be "cheating" to throw on a mod that levels story maps like community maps?
Not really, plenty of mods that do that.
idk, the pain of searching for that one good find is always euphoric when it pays off
true
Indeed I was at the icebergs getting oil in full fur gear and fortitude 62. Still had the red ice block
Custom Dino Levels is good, they even have a toggle for "Ragnarok Levels" to do high level weighting
its also a shame prim plus never got fixed and carried onto this "new" game
thats exactly the mod i have pulled up on my browser right now lmao
Honestly, the only reason it broke was because the refining forge stopped accepting the ingredients for Steel & Glass (because wildcard changed the slot count in the forge)
any idea if theres a mod like that for ASA yet?
Any xbox or windows or steam players after a 6man tribe? Looking to start fresh? Got 2 spots.
The 4 of us rn are no life ark players 😆we have 0 offline timer.
Is there a FAQ for Problem with joining servers that I joined before without any problem and after A day I cant join anymore or find the server by ip ?
You should probably check #1110949794907684965
Looking for a few more tribe mates for the start tomorrow!! We plan on taking over easy water on official pvp small tribes. Must play 8 hours a day is the only requirement :) let me know
Just a question does Ark ascended come out tomorrow for Xbox (Tuesday the 14th)
Yes…
Read the news lol
Fair enough is it gonna be on game pass idk but I haven’t seen anything on it
Is ark ascended even that good
Rude...
Feel like the first one always is gonna be better
homie your chilling in the ark channel stalking it asking if he game is gona be good lmao
It looks good, plays well when it doesnt crash. Its made me addicted to the game again, and im only 34.2 hours in
any1 knows why they removed range settings on tek gen? Its kinda bs
Nope
Asa is better tbh
its way harder
Do we know what the boosted rates are gonna be for the new servers?
My idea is Ark: Innovation Evolved/Ascended (working title).
Where the ages are simply more fleshed out.
Instead of going straight from primitive to medieval, you unlock more "classical age" engrams, that bridge you into the medieval age.
Then instead of jumping straight into longnecks & revolvers, have more engrams based on the Renaissance & Age of Exploration, then ease into the Napoleonic & American Civil War Era.
Instead of jumping off a cliff from crude shotguns & canons to modern fabricated weaponry & armored bases, instead do a more slow-burn with the industrial age & the Interwar period, THEN reach to cold war & modern day.
Then you obviously take "one small step for a man, and one giant leap for mankind" as you leap headfirst into future technologies, and eventually Tek (you'll still need to defeat the bosses to get the tekgrams, but you will represent thousands of years as you step foot into the Overseer's Hall of History.
Armed with the greatest works derived from the greatest minds of Earth's Past, ready to press on to a better future.)
(Something, something Titlecard)
It’s a survival game lol
Do we know what the boosted rates are gonna be for the new servers?
No
Ask devs
Ah rip
Id be more worried about the stability of the servers. Official arent running great on pc. I havent tried them myself though, got a private server with friends
Official isn't running well because those servers aren't Wildcard's, Nitrado's running Official right now.
There is a duper on 5410, our server crashes about 5 times a day, we always open tickerts and nothing is done by WC
Is there any way to get rid of tall grass clipping through structures in ASA?
yep they screwed up only letting Nitrado have the servers
asa is being severely held back by the nitrado deal
5174 is still crashing 6-10 times a day, lol.
all servers crash 5 times a day
the multiplayer community will only be able to heal once something is done about that
Its all down to the common thing, money
I don't think you heard me, the OFFICIAL network LITERALLY is being managed by NITRADO, I wasn't talking private servers.
The OFFICIAL NETWORK is currently being (barely) ran by NITRADO
oh christ thats even worse than i ever thought what the fuck
I heard you they have all the servers
i was under the impression that they have exclusivity on server hosting, not that they literally are manning the entire game
This isn't even a secret! Yet, everyone keeps making tickets through Wildcard to fix NITRADO's issues
Barely mind you, our love for this game is pushing Nitrado to their limits.
Hell, Marbis' CEO GLOATED about how overworked & under crunch his staff is.
Not even a joke, check out that leaked email after the DRM on private hosting got removed
im looking up more info about nitrado and im curious, what is marbis? is that their parent company or something?
every mention of the actual name of this company goes as marbis/nitrado so im confused if its like a joint thing or if marbis is their german incarnation while nitrado is the US version? huh
Marbis just is Nitrado
they are literally just, one in the same?
why the distinction in names between them i wonder.. why is everything fronted with solely just the nitrado part of the name in marketing and everything
strange
No, you don't. Anything concerning moderation can be done by messaging Dodo Mail at the top of the members list. Thanks.
