[outer widget]

people have wanted pet defense units for years

[bitter harness]

yeah.. i like fighting to get in to a server just to ally up with half of the server after

[potent ibex]

I want more owls give me a owl on my shoulder

[stiff dust]

If anything the defense unit would be an additional tame thing like how we got the robot that can harvest resources

[outer widget]

there was an owl in the community ab vote.

[celest zenith]

A large tek flier

[stiff dust]

The void wyrm is large

[short ginkgo]

guys i got a save in singleplayer and the levels are too low any mod I can use to max out the level?

[potent ibex]

oh really? how can i find that?

[stiff dust]

And why would we get a desert titan but tek if that’s what you mean? Why would we need that? Quetz does well enough for tek titan

[potent ibex]

er am just google first sry lol

[outer widget]

it lost, but it was called ornimegalonyx or something

[potent ibex]

I need it

I wish we could just have non snow owl owls as part of the base game, i hear them all the time in my main base in the redwoods all the time and it drives me nuts i cant see em

[hushed nymph]

Learn to mod? Maybe you'll be super good at it?

[stiff dust]

Ima be honest tho, i don’t like the in game render for the cosmo, it looks too derpy compared to the dossier version

[potent ibex]

I should ur right

but also the game feels a bit nicer when things are added canonically

[hushed nymph]

Look at the griffin mods, they make the official griffins look like a joke.

[potent ibex]

I saw those they are very pretty.

[marble pond]

First no k i s s i n g mod??? And now ANOTHER delay? What are you guys even doing?

[outer widget]

the marnii griffin?

[sharp latch]

There’s an owl griffin mod that looks amazing

[celest zenith]

I’m saying desert titan size

[stiff dust]

Again why would we need that

[outer widget]

look like the priest class mount from legion

[stiff dust]

What’s the point of a tek desert titan?

[potent ibex]

its hard to unsee the owlgriffans tail feathers as the gigantoraptors, i mean its a super nice tail though so good use of it

[outer widget]

every fantasy bird had to have peacock tail

[potent ibex]

gorgeous owl face though very cute

[sharp latch]

I mean…..not wrong lol

[celest zenith]

Something like the ancient one from once human

[potent ibex]

The one real thing i wish ark had that was better was a real cooking overhaul

All sorts of food and crops and. you know not just putting 50 raw meat into a pot and it coming out as a blue and purple beverage icon haha

coffee :comfemojicantposthere

[glacial wind]

if i have bobs tall tales do i get bobs tall tale 2 for free?

[hushed nymph]

Open a deli on a PvP server and sell realistic sandwitches and meat products? Or your own Olive Garden with imitation crab meat pasta (until Aberration drops)?

[sharp latch]

Oh, ok…..yea that would be cool. I know Prim Plus had like actual meals u could make with all the different crops. That would be nice

[potent ibex]

yea i liked it for that too

[sharp latch]

Yes! That would be so cool lol

[outer widget]

primitive ascended or medieval mod or whatever its named will 100% be worth the premium price tag. it looks so good

[potent ibex]

having a tanning rack and bonfire thing was cool, i did play it too much but i loved the objects

[sharp latch]

Same

[potent ibex]

yea that seems very much like what id like

[sharp latch]

It just added so much to it, and some of the items were great for decorating

[potent ibex]

I wish base ark was just good by default though lol

yea

[mortal raft]

"bob tall tales 2" is the 2nd part of what you bought^^ read what you bought

[potent ibex]

heck im the sort of person who gets excited for using preserving salt and havign the jars lying around my base lol

[cedar coral]

So happy it got delayed to mid school day 😒

[outer widget]

my se town has so many barrels and vessels everywhere. 40 sap per barrel was so expensive starting out tho

[potent ibex]

cant wait to see what weird stuff the steampunk thing gets. Maybe we will get to brew tonics or somthing 🤷‍♂️

[sharp latch]

The servers I play on added the visual storage mods and like an actual pantry for the foods and stuff…..omg it’s soooo nice and so cool to see everything stored and on display

[hushed nymph]

well, you could buy something like Bob's Tall Tails. It's like more Ark in Ark. Bugs like you've never seen. Bizarre behaviors nobody asked for and cosmetics that sort of but don't quite fit.
Did I mention the bugs?

[deep jackal]

Yep, you bought all the tales! It’s a pack across all three (Scorched, Abb, Extinction)
They may do another for Genesis 1/2 I suppose though

[potent ibex]

HA i ran into the same issue, i was so excited to make th ebarrels

[potent ibex]

I love the visible storage mod too, ive been using it since Scoched earth was re-released.

[outer widget]

there is also like 40 coffins in my town, so transferring in is kinda annoying

[hushed nymph]

Vampire City in your server.

[limpid cliff]

Yall I'm so freaking excited for ab it's my favorite map, haven't checked here in a while. Anybody got a rough time? Pls pls don't tell me it's been delayed or anything

[potent ibex]

lol

tomorrow morn

[limpid cliff]

Noooooooooooooooo

Could be worse ig, thx mate

[potent ibex]

i have work from 6am-10am oddly so it should theoretically be available when i get home

you can get some good sleep in at least 🤷‍♂️ depending on where ya live

[hushed nymph]

Form the announcements it sounds like console platform qualification woes again. In my timezone Ab will drop just as I go to work.

[strange seal]

Does anyone know if my husband buys Bobs Tales can it be shared with me since we have a steam family?

[slate widget]

steam doesn't like DLC much. most things from bob's don't care after its tamed/gotten tho.

[supple orchid]

maybe we could at least have a trailer or smth

[slate widget]

it was just treasure maps I think and you can't put the skins on but they can for you.

[strange seal]

Hmm wondering about that robot thing on ab mostly lol wonder if I’d be able to use it

[hushed nymph]

He can see the content and use things like barrels but not do things like use your Oasisaur. So you can decorate stuff for him.

[potent ibex]

i think they rely on the trailer hype to get people to buy, makes sense but ye ai agree i wish we had a little somthin

[sharp latch]

Yea it’s just a slight delay. 7am PST tomorrow. Not like it’s been pushed back a whole week

[slate widget]

we could use the oasisaur.

[supple orchid]

yet

[strange seal]

Oh okay thanks for letting me know :3

[slate widget]

you can 100% use the oasisaur. its just the taming/claiming.

[hushed nymph]

oh, that's working?!? Nice.

[slate widget]

I did not check resurrection

[sharp latch]

Well don’t jinx it 😂😂

[potent ibex]

looks like theres two airship vairents, a one maned one and a platform based on the arts weve seen, thats interesting

[stiff dust]

No… having a titan like that wouldn’t work

[wild cloud]

Is there a dino on the island that farms crystal?

[slate widget]

think its just the anky

[supple orchid]

i just want a trailer

[potent ibex]

im excited for it too, the scorched earth one was so nice, i think thats my favorite map because of how you have to do some wrok arounds for the harshness of the map early game at least.

but i havent played ab and i loved the idea of a no flier thing as the handicap, alas im all about fliers so its bittersweet

So kinda odd they are straight up adding the airships lol

[woeful hemlock]

Hi

[potent ibex]

I play with reusable rappling hooks so thats gonna hurt my excite for cosmo even though i love the dang thing. Well still a bit sad over its contraversey with that one submission but yea

[hushed nymph]

If the airship is more of a surface thing, I can see some uses. But a slow flyer is pointless in Aberration when you have so many rapid transport options.

[celest zenith]

I’m wondering if you could put a cryofridge on it

[potent ibex]

oh im gonna have to make a cliffside base, god i have no map knowledge there.

is metal easy to get on ab?

[hushed nymph]

Don't forget that once you have element and tekgrams you can afford to run tek teleporters on Ab.

[finite shell]

Oh yes

[potent ibex]

oh nice

[celest zenith]

Karkinos and Anky go hard

[finite shell]

That’s where you farm it

[potent ibex]

on the sides of cliffs?

[sharp latch]

Ah yes, nothing like watching a crab walking along with some anky’s in its pinchers, just smackin metal lol

[hushed nymph]

Everywhere in blue zone. Aberration is the map where you make multiple Industrial Forges because you can keep them slot capped during a metal run.

[celest zenith]

And doeds for stone

[sharp latch]

Yep, and then u just yeet them when u get back 😂😂

[zealous fjord]

I want spooder

[celest zenith]

Karkinos is one of my favorite abb creatures

[leaden crow]

Anyone know if single player data will get wiped in the update? (ASA)

[sharp latch]

It spooked me the first time I saw one but they are super handy

[potent ibex]

cool to know im a simple player i dont need tek and all that i just like making a neat base and stuff, ill do my best not to single player scout the map before i play since i dont have to worry about players blocking off areas

[slate widget]

shouldn't.

[leaden crow]

Okay thanks

[sharp latch]

I feel like it shouldn’t but there’s always a chance something could go wrong

[celest zenith]

They can carry about any creature on abb

[proper oasis]

I wish they would've fixed The Center's load freezing issue before releasing another map.

[potent ibex]

no offense to the person who submitted the creature thats coming out with ab but it seems like it fills the same niche as the rock drake albeit much easier to get? Correct if wrong though since i dont know much about it. I was kinda hoping for somthing more unique

[leaden crow]

Wait so Abb is also coming with a performance update right?

[sharp latch]

Oh yea. I love that the sleepy rexes just are constantly getting their “night time” buff

[proper oasis]

No, it's coming with an fsr performance update

[celest zenith]

And they have their abberant variant

[sharp latch]

That’s one of my favorite parts about that map, is all the variants

[leaden crow]

Ohh ok so the 80% performance update is UE 5.4? Or is that the fsr performance update

[celest zenith]

Karkinos can carry like every creature but a few on abb

[potent ibex]

im curious if that update will let my base render fully without this workaround i do. the wester theme mod doesnt work on console otherwise. I mean even the shingles on the adobe roofs do some weird texture stuff too though tbf

[sharp latch]

I just like picking up creatures with it and seeing how far I can chuck them 😂😂

[proper oasis]

I don't think the UE 5.4 is coming yet, I think that part got delayed. The "performance" update is just them utilizing the fsr improvements, not really wildcard fixing any of their optimization issues. Anyone with DLSS probably won't feel any change

[slate widget]

its talking about FSR, if you weren't already using FSR/DLSS.

not sure if FSR did anything before but it was an option.

[celest zenith]

They can’t carry roll rats paracers reapers and rockdrakes I think

[potent ibex]

me but with my mammoth against raptors lol

[leaden crow]

Ohh okay, I was already aware of the UE 5.4 delay. Sorry y’all I’m just now coming back to ark after a little while

[potent ibex]

oh shoot rollrats right i never got one of those

[sharp latch]

Which makes sense cuz they are pretty big critters

[sharp latch]

They’re sooooo fun

[celest zenith]

But they can pick up stegos

[leaden crow]

What’s your guys’ favorite creature on abb?

[potent ibex]

oh and th emushrooms, ah so much new content for me

[sharp latch]

So…..they make about as much sense as a wyvern being able to pick up an allo, but not a kangaroo lol

[sharp latch]

Shinehorn is my personal favorite

[potent ibex]

i love shinehorns too, but maybe the borb cause i like borbs

[hushed nymph]

Have you seen the backside on them Kangas? Ark has some big bottomed Roos.

[celest zenith]

Karkinos or bulbdog

[potent ibex]

i love my roo on SE

you know what i never did see a single deathworm in all my time on SE this year

[slate widget]

rock drake, cosmo is probably gonna beat the other light pets.

[potent ibex]

i love the spoder

[celest zenith]

Yeah cosmo will probably be my new favorite as well

[potent ibex]

man i love cosmo but everytime i see it i juust thing of that one user's spider idea that didnt make it but then they released this anyway

really kinda hurts the experiance, wish WC would ackowledge them or somthing at least

[slate widget]

they are nothing alike.

[celest zenith]

I hope we can name the robot

That way I can name it cogsworth

[slate widget]

and did the other vote creatures even get credit? thought it was just community voted creature X.

[potent ibex]

saw that coming yea ha

[sharp latch]

It’s a good name hehe

[celest zenith]

I don’t think anyone knows where it’s from tho

[potent ibex]

ok hear me out though, fembots

[sharp latch]

Only cogsworth I know is from Disney so…..

[slate widget]

nah, I only play ark and skyrim

[potent ibex]

seriously though im going to pretend im sort of dwemer guy this

wow speaking of skyrim lol

[celest zenith]

It’s a movie character

[slate widget]

I did not know that was his name lol

[celest zenith]

Cogman I guess

[sharp latch]

Yes the clock in Beauty and the Beast lol

[slate widget]

I thought he was "the clock" or something

[potent ibex]

i want a neat steampunk weapon skin for my crossbow now come to think

[slate widget]

transformers?

[celest zenith]

Yes

[potent ibex]

Dr Robotnik

[sharp latch]

This!! Yes!! Haha

[slate widget]

yeah, haven't watched one of the movies for a long time lol

[celest zenith]

He’s a robot butler so I guess it makes sense also codsworth from fallout would work I guess

[slate widget]

thats what I thought you meant lol

[slate widget]

why I mentioned skyrim 😂

[celest zenith]

I need to watch the new transformers movie

[sharp latch]

If we can name it, I’m borrowing this lol

[sharp latch]

Same

[wanton flame]

Someone teach me how to play pvp

[celest zenith]

Quit your job and sleep 3 hours

That’s all I can say

[celest zenith]

I haven’t played Skyrim in forever

[potent ibex]

SKyrims that game i can never put down, even on xbox it still have great acess to mods.

[celest zenith]

I sold my Xbox lol

[potent ibex]

Id like to get a PC but, idk where to fit it in my room and idk how to build one 🤷‍♂️

[celest zenith]

Get a prebuilt

[potent ibex]

if im gonna get a pc its gotta be a huge improvement mods wise for skyrim though idk if i can get a great prebuilt

Also as you can see i cant type worth a damn lol

[timber zinc]

Some prebuilt are really well made nowadays

[strange seal]

Does anyone know how to avoid character deletion? After losing my last character and finally getting my engrams back to where they were I really don’t wanna lose it again

[potent ibex]

AT least i can plug in a controller, steam has some sort of mode for that iirc. I really love controllers

[timber zinc]

In ASE or ASA?

[outer widget]

i cant controller

[strange seal]

Asa

[celest zenith]

I have a ps5 however I don’t play on it

[timber zinc]

What happened before? Never had a character deletion... But I play on unnoficial

[potent ibex]

Some games obviosuly you need a keyboard for though like for mmos and such with all the hotkeyes. thankfully in skyrim at least i have a mod that lets me assigh 8 hotkeyes on the dpad

oh sorry i got off topic ill shut up and go back to ark haha

[astral hare]

I wake up to see that its been delayed

[celest zenith]

I bet abb won’t release until tomorrow afternoon

[potent ibex]

time for more sleep

[proper oasis]

The later the better for me

[celest zenith]

Just joined to complain lol

[astral hare]

nah i was in a local Ark server before

i wanted to see whats happening in here

[strange seal]

I was on an official server transfering from center to the island when it took awhile to load and then sent me back to the Home Screen

I assumed it was in the cloud so I went to the island but it didn’t say download character or spawn in, so I went back to center but same thing, I couldn’t spawn on my bed and there were no characters to download, it just kept prompting me to make a new survivor

Also wildcard won’t let me make a support ticket to restore the character so I had to start all over

[pallid hatch]

Oh.. so they announced on twitter that they're looking at a 7AM PDT launch for Ab

[slate widget]

#announcements was here too.

[proper oasis]

Some people do be oblivious

[timber zinc]

Oh... Sorry then, I can't help... Weird though...

[timber zinc]

The whole day was a shit show in general because of that 😅🤣

[celest zenith]

Happened to me before however I was always able to get it back

[strange seal]

I tried looking restlessly, couldn’t get it back

[celest zenith]

Because anytime I lost connection to host I was always able to go to the server I was connecting to and hit download survivor

[shut sparrow]

Anyone here do pve note runs

[celest zenith]

There are videos on how to do them

[gleaming cape]

We had this happen to handfuls of people in our tribe happen at the same time. After a day or 2 it always seemed to show up when going to download to a map.

[timber zinc]

Did that yesterday 😁

[shut sparrow]

Any chance able to do now

[timber zinc]

Used the explorer maps with coords, really helped

[timber zinc]

Why would I do that now?

[cerulean willow]

@shadow scarab just spam tickets until they respond sorry 5 minute cooldown in the other channel

[shut sparrow]

If you would help me that is

[cerulean willow]

@heavy cedar how many 1x official cross play PvP servers would you estimate and about how many of each region?

[celest zenith]

Jonna-x has a video of it in detail

Level 1-85 in 8 minutes

I would link it if I could but links aren’t allowed

[timber zinc]

Oh! I don't play on official! And if you follow the explorer map on the official website, it's really easy (not quick, but easy)

Took me 3 hours to do SE, not doing that ever again LOL

[celest zenith]

Yeah se takes forever but the island is pretty easy

[timber zinc]

Yes, it is, much quicker (don't have a proper time frame because I had some done already)

But SE kinda easier because of less caves and water caves to go through

Just longer

[celest zenith]

Damn I forgot about the basilisk on abb lol

[outer widget]

how

[celest zenith]

It’s probably my favorite abb creature lol

[robust edge]

Hey fellas, I heard that you can build on the surface of ab and not get sunburnt once you have a roof. Is this true or false?

[bronze ivy]

The day ark is on time I'm get a lottery ticket from the 4th to the 5th lol time for sleep

[celest zenith]

The surface is treated as a cave I thought

[tough yarrow]

Can't build on the surface, you'll just burn

[outer widget]

even your structures on the surface burn to death instantly. but if you wanna build up there stream it so i can watch.

[timber zinc]

What should I say to a friend that's a newbie on Ark (like will be his first time playing ever) when we see this wingly little thingy coming out of the floor 🤔🤣

[robust edge]

I have no idea. Ive only ever been up there during night time because i know it gets spicy during the day. I heard that and was like "theres no way" lmao

[robust edge]

I thought so. Thanks!

[celest zenith]

Tell him to go touch it

[cosmic blaze]

Release should be in evening time to give people that work during the day a fair shot at getting some real estate.

[robust edge]

It gets really funny when theres one in portal spawns 😆

[scenic walrus]

Do you know the whole world doesn’t run on the same time zones right…

[robust edge]

Whaaaat? Youre joking, right?

[celest zenith]

It’s funny though because they spawn in the easy zones lol

[timber zinc]

Exactly what I was planning too! "Look, it's magical grass! Go touch it"

[timber zinc]

Well, nothing's easy on Ab!

[celest zenith]

Except the hard spawn which only has raptors lol

[robust edge]

"Dude! We're so lucky! Theres a magical plant over there! Go grab it!"

[timber zinc]

To be hard or not to be hard!

Wait... That's not what I meant 😅

[celest zenith]

Basilisks are annoying early game

[potent ibex]

OH YEA ive always wanted to tame one

[robust edge]

I remember them being somewhat finicky

[celest zenith]

Need like 6 fert rock drake eggs for a max level

[timber zinc]

The thing is he's not even too keen on this type of game... I've been telling him that he has to expect to die many many times and that it's actually an easy way to have water back and food in early game to prepare him...

[bitter harness]

I can't wait to die 1000x

[split mango]

The map is up!?

[celest zenith]

I had a max level get bugged and wouldn’t eat eggs

And then there was the infinite damage glitch for the basilisk

[robust edge]

Without mods to see its hunger, its more or less guesstimations imo

[sharp latch]

Run

[split mango]

@heavy cedar any update?!

[bitter harness]

This is ARK talk not General my guy

[timber zinc]

Nah, he's gonna have to touch it... Exposure therapy for him being scarred to die in a game...

[robust edge]

I dont even know if theres bas traps that work either. I typically drop and egg and run for my life lmao

[sharp latch]

Ok so tell him to go boop it……THEN run 🤣🤣

[celest zenith]

And don’t forget magic mushrooms

[timber zinc]

That's a good one! And I'll do that with the bulbdog too! Telling him it's one of the most dangerous dino but you have to boop it to tame it!

[bitter harness]

Ugh those ice mushrooms are gonna suck while running away

[robust edge]

It was aquatic shrooms to counter those effects, yeah?

[bitter harness]

The brown ones aggre something

[hushed nymph]

yes, you eat the same shrooms to get defense from the same effect.

[robust edge]

Thats right 😆👍

[timber zinc]

You call them magic? I call them shitty mushroom

[sharp latch]

The brown ones counter the red shrooms in the green zone

[hushed nymph]

when you are starting a farm and need poop. Right. Now.

[bitter harness]

Aqua blue ones for snow effect?

[timber zinc]

Where's your base? So I don't come around that shit hole!

[sharp latch]

Yea, u can eat some ahead of time for a shield, or eat some at the time to make the effect go away faster

[hushed nymph]

I keep the gardens well tilled. Well, the Dung beetles do. I prefer the outhouse for taking care of my needs.

[sharp latch]

Just keep a supply of blue and brown shrooms on u at all times until u can make the radiation suit and u should be fine lol

[celest zenith]

Especially the ones that cause suffocation or is it drowning i don’t remember

[bitter harness]

Good call, I hate tripping while I'm running away

[timber zinc]

I think they do all kind of things to you... Might not to want to know every part of it...

[sharp latch]

I mean kinda both?? U make the sound like ur drowning but ur not in water so I guess it’s technically suffocation……but idk lol

[celest zenith]

But yeah basilisks are super fun

[bitter harness]

Specially while riding them off a cliff... instant death 💀

[timber zinc]

Anyway, gonna go back to real life, had my fill of fun watching people fight with a 5 minutes delay! lol Have fun in Aberration, whenever it launches, I'm sure it'll be a blast! 🤘🏻

[celest zenith]

Don’t make abb your first map when playing

[timber zinc]

Don't say that to my friend!

It's actually better for him as we're both gonna start with nothing than him coming in the game with me hitting tek tier

[celest zenith]

Your both going to die lol

[outer widget]

thats just ark tho

[timber zinc]

Oh yes! And a lot 🤣

[celest zenith]

Yeah the worst death I’ve ever had was getting disconnected while flying above the redwoods

[timber zinc]

I had a tribemate that was dying just because he was too lazy to grab some meat in our fridges.. since then, death became relative lol

[outer widget]

my first death in asa was crashing flying over redwood in full ghilli. i had to go get my direwolf to find my body

[celest zenith]

Well in ase if you crashed and died after the crash your green marker didn’t always show up

So you never know where you died at lol

[rugged pond]

U guys better get some rest for tomorrow lol

[celest zenith]

It’s not like we are going to actually be able to get into servers lol

[timber zinc]

It's 9pm here 😉 But our admin (unnoficial server) won't be able to put the server up at launch so no rush in that

[outer widget]

unofficials probably wont even get the patches for three hours after officials go up

[celest zenith]

I sat for hours trying to get into a server when se launched lol

[timber zinc]

Exactly! And then there are mods 😅

[bitter harness]

At 10am est, I'll have my coffee from Dunkin ARK waiting for a download for aberration update

[timber zinc]

But I might spoil myself a bit in single player to check the base spot

[outer widget]

coffee, a donut, fluffy blanket, ab time

[celest zenith]

I’ve been looking for a good unofficial server to play on tbh

[bitter harness]

On ASE I play on the people with Jobs server. Idk any on ASA

[timber zinc]

I like mine, can give you some info if you want. It's modded and got higher rates

[celest zenith]

Is it more optimized mods or heavily modded

[timber zinc]

Might not be liked by everyone though but people are nice and the admins are decent

S+ and qol+ (structure additions and some stuff to make life easier) but they keep it vanilla as much as possible

[celest zenith]

Any creature mods

[timber zinc]

You can check the mods on the front page

No creature mods

They think they make the game too unbalanced and prefer vanilla creatures and I like that

[celest zenith]

What about ark additions creatures they are balanced

[outer widget]

brachio and helicoprion are not balanced

[celest zenith]

Those are the only 2

Which makes me think they will be the last 2 added

[outer widget]

elephant is also pretty op

[timber zinc]

If it's a paid mod, as the server isn't a nitrado one, they don't do that because it would cost too much (from my understanding, never really asked)

[celest zenith]

It just gives a better yuty buff

Besides the fact it’s a pack creature lol

[outer widget]

it gets like 50k hp, does boss rex dps 1st gen, only takes beer to tame

[celest zenith]

Beer can be a little annoying to get

[supple notch]

They are really common in drops tho

For me atleast

[celest zenith]

Just like deinosuchus isn’t balanced but it’s in the game

[glass seal]

I cant wait to see how wildcard has tweaked my babies

rockdrakes are best tame

[celest zenith]

Probably no tweaks

[lofty merlin]

Do you know if the update after aberration is gonna sort out the random ass crashes

[outer widget]

drakes deserved gliding improvements they made for maewings, but yeah probably they wont get changed at all

[glass seal]

it will definitely get tweaks

even in abbys splash art, the rockdrake looks smaller and its feather structure is slightly altered

[celest zenith]

Make the feathers glow and I’ll be happy

Like a permanent glow

[slate widget]

glowing rock drake 😂 sounds kinda OP

also they are supposed to go invisible.

[celest zenith]

You can still see them though lol

[slate widget]

its for creatures not PvP.

shadowmane invisiblity is better for PvP.

[glass seal]

the cloaking at the very least will be updated by default, luckily

[spring drift]

whats the best server hosting for steam/epic with fjordur available guys?

[celest zenith]

On ase

[slate widget]

yeah, wonder if it'll be actually invisible now granted pretty sure it was "cloaking" so shouldn't be in the first place.

[celest zenith]

Make it like moros rex lol

[glass seal]

and the rockdrake feathers will also be updated by default

in ase, the rockdrakes colored tips are reflective so they did interact with light... thats also bound to be changed

[glass seal]

watch like the first 5 seconds of the og abby trailer tbh

[celest zenith]

Make them have gender differences

Since they can breed

[slate widget]

you mean the life action part? 😂

[glass seal]

yes

Im personally hoping we can make rockdrakes manually do the feather shaking as like, an emote

because even when reapers where around, the feathers never shook, they were just raised

[slate widget]

looks pretty cool. still visible tho

[glass seal]

I actually wasnt talking about the cloaking

I meant the threatening feather shaking snarl

[celest zenith]

Make the plumage different on males and females

[slate widget]

oh, yeah. it does that to reapers.

probably one behind the survivor

[glass seal]

no, its feathers extend outward in the presence of reapers, the plumage otherwise doesnt do anything else

which is disappointing

[slate widget]

maybe it'll change, or entirely break lol

[glass seal]

lol

[celest zenith]

Imagine if it had the invisibility of the moros rex lol

[glass seal]

Im personally hoping the range of their pounce is extended... I want to be able to pounce easier on a rockdrake

and hopefully some tweaks to their climbing

[celest zenith]

Make their climbing like a megalania

[glass seal]

I personally never struggled with climbing with a rockdrake... just watch the head lmao

but I know a lot of people do

[glass seal]

isnt it already like that?

[celest zenith]

Can they go completely upside down

[outer widget]

yes

[glass seal]

yeah, rockdrakes can too

[slate widget]

pretty sure they have the same climbing. rock drakes are just bigger.

so it feels different

[celest zenith]

There hitbox also isn’t great

[glass seal]

what the uninitiated struggle with, is actually controlling a rockdrake when it climbs...

[slate widget]

yeah, the gliding as well 😂 saw a video and they just kept losing speed.

[glass seal]

rockdrakes also have a glitch where if you go from a horizontal climbing position to vertical, you'll take significant fall damage even though they arent supposed to take fall damage

this is the biggest bug that I hope gets fixed

[slate widget]

I have never had that happen.

[celest zenith]

Or when you should be hitting them but you aren’t

[glass seal]

I adore gliding on a rockdrake

i just want a longer pounce range

[glass seal]

to be fair, I've spent like 5k hours riding them, so I know quite a lot about them

[slate widget]

bruh

[glass seal]

their pounce does huge knockback

and also ticks constantly as you pass through creatures

[slate widget]

I don't even have 5k hours in ark think I'm at 4k 😂

might be 4.8k

[glass seal]

rockdrakes can rival lightning wyverns in dps against larger creatures

[celest zenith]

Manas are really good at dps

[glass seal]

I have a bit shy of 6.4k

manas are really good at shitting themselves

[celest zenith]

Pre nerf manas especially

[hushed nymph]

IIRC, the huge knockback is why getting caught in the rock drake area is so dangerous. You can easily get pushed through the mesh and the bottom of the map is friken right there. Insta death.

[celest zenith]

I remember manas could cheese bosses at one time but then they got nerfed into the ground

[hushed nymph]

Not that ASA doesn't have issues with that. My Wyverns if on close follow have repeatedly pushed my character bellow the SE map.

[outer widget]

only creature that has ever pushed me through the map on ab was surface reapers

[celest zenith]

I had an issue with bloodstalkers doing something similar lol

[glass seal]

I've never been pushed through the mesh by a creature tbh

yall just suck

[hushed nymph]

Well, I leared the hard way to watch your stamina, don't get greedy and stay off the floor in the Rock Drake nest if you are farming eggs. Of course, you can breed them now, so really just a cheap source of Bastisk kibble.

[outer widget]

when they first changed moschops to be ridable i dismounted one and it put me in ghost or something and i just fell forever. though the island.

[slate widget]

I have only been pushed through the map by climbing picks as far as I can remember anyway.

I remember falling through the map everytime I loaded into ab too 😂 so fun having to quickly use ghost to not die.

[celest zenith]

Creatures spawning under mountains on gen 2 was an issue

[hushed nymph]

You just need to get out more. There's all sorts of fun things you can do if you push the game a little. Like bunny hop a Thyla around Scorched so fast that the ground stops rendering and you drift 'around' the map.

[glass seal]

a thing about rockdrakes btw... is that you can move extremely fast by just jumping and dashing down extremely rapidly

this is useful in flat areas of maps...

granted, no map really is too flat to use a rockdrake... everyone who says that is genuinely incompetent and doesnt understand how to use them

[glass seal]

I've done that

[celest zenith]

Val is extremely flat

[glass seal]

PFFFT

not really? val is very verticle wym

my issue with valgeuro is that the map might as well be renamed valredwoods

[celest zenith]

I mean it has some extremely flat areas

[glass seal]

because the map is like 70% redwoods

[slate widget]

val is more vertical then then the island

[rich fjord]

I want a rtx 4090 for ark ascended

[slate widget]

I'd say crystal for the one that has the most flat areas.

[hushed nymph]

So, back when the Linux native client was a thing there was an incompetent dev at Wildcard who never tested his stuff on Linux builds. If you had a Rockdrake there were places you could glide through the map and just pop right into caves, bases, etc.

[glass seal]

not in context to rockdrakes

[celest zenith]

The beaches especially

[slate widget]

there is a square of like 200x200 foundations.

[rich fjord]

my Rx580 It's almost reaching the speed of light

[celest zenith]

lol

[slate widget]

perfectly flat

[slate widget]

the fan?

[rich fjord]

Oh my pc,fmaklfajsda

[glass seal]

but crystal isnt even all that flat...

[celest zenith]

Crystal has the best griffin spawns

[rich fjord]

Ye

[glass seal]

yes

[slate widget]

I'd say half the biomes are very flat. yeah there is the floating islands and the wyvern area. otherwise its just a bunch of small hills next to flat land

[glass seal]

sadly, wildcard gutted the map upon making it offical

[rich fjord]

Ark wing is too heavy, the maximum fps I could reach without losing quality was 21

[glass seal]

the small hills are really all I need tbh

[slate widget]

if any map is flat. its crystal

no other map has as big or as many flat areas

[glass seal]

for context

I pumped 5k stamina on a rockdrake and glided the entire edge of ragnarok without touching the water once

it doesnt get much flatter than that

[hushed nymph]

Oddly CI is kind of flat. It's very wrinkly and there are the floaty bits. But otherwise there is no real like mountain range or elevation changes.

[slate widget]

yeah, flat has nothing to do with gliding lol.

people seem to also complain about maewings not being able to gain height but like 🤷 do the super jump

[glass seal]

it does when it comes to rockdrakes

you have to control your swoops perfectly to not lose altitude

[slate widget]

you can gain speed and lose no height easily.

[hushed nymph]

Drakes can climb obelisks. What does flight range on a map have to do with it.?

[slate widget]

the perfect gliding spot

[wary vine]

Wondering if anyone can help? Two issues I've run into on The Center. 1) Decay timers aren't showing up even though they're properly coded to. And 2) Teleporters have no "enable public" option. Anyone know how to fix this??

[glass seal]

its more a talk of how the majority of the ark community thinks drakes are only useable in aberration out of sheer incompetence

[hardy sail]

Wildcard can never put something out on time or the date it says

[slate widget]

lots of people only take the "best" of DPS.
almost everything is preference. just look at all the single dino runs of ark.

[hushed nymph]

That is just incompetence. Drakes can be used very effectively on most maps. So can astrodelphis, maewings, bloodstalkers and other rapid transit tames.

[glass seal]

mhmms, thats exactly my point waveclaw

thanks for agreeing with me

[hushed nymph]

I cannot speak for PvP, though. I've not had a bug related to Rockdrakes to take to official PvP to make a report. Yet.

But in PvE they are probably one of the easier pre-Gen2 mobility tames.

[slate widget]

afaik, drakes are rarely used outside ab/gen1 on PvP due to the bad DPS and flyer ever-presence.

bad in comparison to a giga mind you lol. pocket gigas

[hushed nymph]

Maybe they'll be able grapple to tames now in ASA? And the crypod nerf means no more pocket gigas.

[slate widget]

rock drakes are just under rexes aren't they for DPS

can't get exact numbers since different dino comparisons are crazy.

[hushed nymph]

Per wiki Dake is base 60 vs Rex 62 and both have +1.7% tamed increase and +3 wild. So effectively the same damage. And almost exact same primary attack speed.

[slate widget]

lol

so I was right 😂 literally just under.

[ocean badger]

drake attack speed is way worse

[hushed nymph]

The difference is that a drake gets a -25% taming bonus vs the +7% and 17.6% multiplier. So with same raw stats an equally imprinted and mutated and leveled Rex will always be higher.

Oh, and TIL - Rexes have a +15% bonus to attacks on herbivores.

So that's probably where the notion comes from. Rex is going to be better when leveled and much better vs plant eaters.

[slate widget]

pretty sure that would be ignored for PvP. people don't usually use herbis

[hushed nymph]

Steggo tanking?

[slate widget]

you'd use a bleed

[ocean badger]

doesn't wyvern milk fix that?

[slate widget]

on dinos?

[stiff dust]

Wyvern milk can be used on Dino’s yes

[hushed nymph]

I thought that wyvern milk blocks bleed on anything.

[stiff dust]

Atleast back in ase idk about asa but I assume it works

[slate widget]

wiki just says consumed by players.

never tried

[hushed nymph]

If I have any left after imprinting these last 8 Wyverns I can go test on one of the local SE thylas.

[wanton flame]

How do I level up at a reasonable pace in the center if there are no explorer notes?

[stiff dust]

Wiki often isn’t up to date on stuff, the only reason I know this is due to it being a big help at taming Evo gigas

[ocean badger]

wyvern milk stopping bleed should be a bug tbh. I bet it is but was ignored until people saw it as a feature

[hushed nymph]

Poo in a toilet and use broth of enlightenment.

[slate widget]

probably killing brood minions. heard people do that on the island.

[slate widget]

pretty sure its on purpose. it does a lot more then stop bleed.

[hushed nymph]

Per the dossier the Oasisaur Gaia bonus is supposed to clear all status aliments just like Wyvern milk.

[slate widget]

nameless venom also has other uses for the player.

[wanton flame]

What is a brood minion it's not in the wiki

Im level 17 I want to be level 25

[slate widget]

you go into the boss fight and kill the minions broodmother spawns.

oh

Lol.

[hushed nymph]

17 -> 25 is like, go make some thatch foundations.

[slate widget]

just craft things. do what wave said. toilet and broth.

[wanton flame]

I thought it was a joke

How do I make broth of enlightment

[hushed nymph]

No. Toilet gives you a +11% bonus to XP, I use it relgiously at level 110 and beyond. Broth of E is a late game recipie, to be fair.

[slate widget]

if you are ASA, the recipe is already in a cooking pot

[wanton flame]

Nvm i can't get all of those resources

[outer widget]

broth takes bpearl. maybe you can get one out of drops

[slate widget]

you can get those from trilo bites

[hushed nymph]

More likely to get a broth out of a drop than a black pearl.

[slate widget]

the rhino horn is the hardest.

[outer widget]

you cant kill trilobites. they are baby

[wanton flame]

Is it easiest to spam thatch foundation to level up quickly

[slate widget]

can make pretty much anything.

[hushed nymph]

The point is that very early on you can get good XP making stuff. Just building your starter base should put you past level 30.

[slate widget]

I'd build wood instead lol. so its actually useable

[wanton flame]

It didn't for me

[hushed nymph]

Your base was too small, then.

[wanton flame]

I'm in pvp so I made a 2x1 wood base but I only get one level

[slate widget]

are you on officials?

[wanton flame]

Yes

[hushed nymph]

Ah, PvP rathole shacks. That would be a problem.

[slate widget]

transfer to the island, do a note run

unless you are on an isolated anyway.

[stiff dust]

Side note, with the delay it was kinda expected for it to be atleast a day delay so I’d say it’s fine. If it was a month delay then it would be a problem

[slate widget]

be care transferring. some of the servers are blocked off.

[wanton flame]

How do you transfer

[stiff dust]

I can wait an extra day for aberration I don’t mind especially since it drops in the early morning tomorrow

[outer widget]

chose to play official pvp but is a ark newbie

[slate widget]

go to any obelisk or drop. and hit the middle button that says transfer then pick a server to join.

[slate widget]

Lol

[wanton flame]

Thanks

[hushed nymph]

Be very careful that you don't upload your survivor and accidentally leave everything in a bag behind. Like your chibi or cosmetics.

[stiff edge]

Im glad they are waiting to make sure they launch everything together.... im hoping that includes windows gamepass!!!

[rich fjord]

Update nothing

[ruby violet]

I’m assuming no transfers for aberration as far as characters correct?

[brazen umbra]

i hope not me and my crews plan is to transfer characters and dinos day one if we can't lame

[ruby violet]

They usually don’t allow it but idk 🤷🏽‍♂️

[quartz epoch]

characters yes dinos no

[hot phoenix]

Anyone doing Dragon boss on PVE i could jump into really need tp gram

[brazen umbra]

we run a unofficial server tho

[ruby violet]

Oh your golden then

[brazen umbra]

yippe question tho does oasisaur count as a flyer

[fading ice]

for what purpose?

[brazen umbra]

in the sense abb does not allow flyers lol

[fading ice]

oh, unlikely it will allow it

[brazen umbra]

i love my oasisaur

[fading ice]

transfers will be closed for months, though

if unofficial, you can allow anything you want

[brazen umbra]

so theoretically i can have a oasisaur in abb

[agile grail]

Uh they literally Always allow characters to transfer to a new map. Can't transfer stuff though.

[river pewter]

ladies and gents anyone want to help me get levels before abb drops

[finite shell]

Just carracter only

[dry pilot]

can oasisaurs be transferred?

[finite shell]

You can upload

[dry pilot]

So if I tame one and upload it, can my tribe tame another one?

[finite shell]

Haven’t tried

[dry pilot]

darn

thank you anyways

[finite shell]

Try it lol

[finite shell]

Never knew they where a capped tame

[dry pilot]

Yeah it’s only one per tribe 😭

But I know you can’t cryo them that’s why I was wondering about uploading

[finite shell]

Makes sense they are so big

[finite shell]

Not sure on offical but can on unofficial

So you probs can

[dry pilot]

awesome tysm

[exotic folio]

12 hours till ab?

[timber zinc]

not all unofficial added that, it's still a setting you can keep oasisaur as unpodable

[sonic hollow]

for you and anyone else wondering, there is a server setting called CrossARKAllowForeignDinoDownloads, if you set this to TRUE you are allowed to bring NON native dinos to other maps INCLUDING fliers in the case of abberation

[brazen umbra]

ty for the info

[finite shell]

Ok, I’m talking about upload though

[timber zinc]

oh sry, thought you were talking about cryo

[sonic hollow]

you can upload them i believe, have you tried taking one to an obelisk and trying?

[finite shell]

Don’t even do it lol

[timber zinc]

it works and you can tame another one after, as tribe aren't clustered but map dependent

[sonic hollow]

telling people how to have fun in their own private game is cringe lol

[finite shell]

🤷‍♂️

[stiff dust]

People will always be weird like that

[sonic hollow]

for real

[stiff dust]

As for my world I’m getting some Deinosuchus mutations made so I can nuke the alpha bosses with ease

Thus far I’m at 18 melee mutations and I’m drawing near two completing my cursed build with my Deinosuchus

[sonic hollow]

huge

[velvet flame]

Loving the new Abberation design

Wish the nameless weren't bugged

[mild hinge]

can anyone else log on rn? keeps showing error

[timber ivy]

I’m so excited for abb

I’m not mad about the delay

It’ll be out right when im up

[stiff dust]

?

[rough cloud]

Can sm1 explain this gosh dang delay on a map thats been out since December of 2017 I don't understand 😭

[exotic folio]

I truly wish we actually get extinction in October

[hushed vapor]

can anyone help me download ark? I've been dying to play it ever since my family got us a strong pc (Also I dont have Winrar yet ill tell it to my dad if we can get it)

[stiff dust]

It was remade from the ground up and it was expanded to be larger like the other maps. Not sure why you’re confused there

[fading ice]

..is this a shitpost? 🤔

winrar lul

[hushed vapor]

nope

[fading ice]

sure. nobody under 30 would even know what winrar is 😂

[stiff dust]

Just install steam, make a steam account and buy the game

[fading ice]

if you are serious about ark, what do you mean by "help"? why are you not able to download it?

[hushed vapor]

I have steam, I just cant download it from itself then buy it from steam

[fading ice]

what

[rough cloud]

I didn't see the announcement so i didn't know... tbh I thought it meant from its release date on the original time and I was confused

[hushed vapor]

yea its t

[fading ice]

you go to your steam library, click ark, install..

where is that going wrong?

[stiff dust]

Steam could sometimes be weird but it shouldn’t be acting like that

[fading ice]

i am almost totally sure we are being trolled, but who knows 🤷

[hushed vapor]

oh well I think im doomed it doesnt show ark

[fading ice]

in your library?

[hushed vapor]

yea

[fading ice]

step one: did you buy ark?

[hushed vapor]

nope but I got a windows download file

[fading ice]

???

[stiff dust]

That’s now how that works

What you’re doing is just all sorts of wrong

[fading ice]

oh, i see. you cant install the game, then buy it.. that is not how anything works and why would you even try to do that? even if you install the steam files, you cant play it without buying it

[stiff dust]

It’s like you’re trying to rig steam by extracting the files from steam to play ark through it but that’s not how it works

[hushed vapor]

maybe I got it wrong.. wait wait right there

so ark is on steam and I didnt know it? oh gosh that expalains so much.

[fading ice]

🤔

[stiff dust]

Ain’t no way bro

[hushed vapor]

?

[stiff dust]

He’s got to be trolling

[hushed vapor]

im a female here

[fading ice]

almost guaranteed troll lol. this is statistically improbable

[hushed vapor]

and im not trolling

[stiff dust]

My bad, SHE has to be trolling

[hushed vapor]

I didnt know how to download it

[devout crest]

Some on know when abb Realis on Europe time ?

[fading ice]

no way someone who does not know how to install software would manage to get into this chat to begin with, so..

[stiff dust]

How does one not understand logic of being a consumer?

[hushed vapor]

well im stupid enough to do that I guess

[fading ice]

should be in about 12 hours

[timber ivy]

Me? I’m a consumer. I consume all the food in my house 😎

[turbid raptor]

Goodmorning 🙂

[timber ivy]

The message dollie sent automatically converts it to your time one

[stiff dust]

It’s like saying you want to own a pc but you just steal the pc instead of buying it, how did you even get the pc to begin with but not know how to work steams purchase pages?

[fading ice]

also; in a theoretical scenario where this is serious, what sort of viruses did User download while trying to find ark in all the wrong places?

[stiff dust]

There goes that hard earned cash for the pc lol

[fading ice]

nothing a drive format cant fix, only costs 500$ when the local scam shop holds the PC hostage after selling all your logged-in account info

[stiff dust]

I will admit, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but not knowing how to do that kind of purchase is just bizarre, ain’t no way someone is able to work through discords Jank system but fail at buying a game on steam

[ember nymph]

I'm confused is someone trying to download ark illegally and confused why steam won't them download it??

[thick root]

Bro downloaded a virus

[stiff dust]

They didn’t apparently know how to buy the game and started downloading programs like winrar to apparently try and extract the game from steams store which isn’t how any of that works to begin with

[thick root]

wtf 😭

[slate widget]

they were trying to buy winrar I think 😂

[ember nymph]

I'm sorry but if you can't figure out how to buy something you really shouldn't be allowed to use the internet without someone watching them

[fading ice]

nobody that tech-illiterate would even know what winrar is, the thing is ancient history. sus.

[stiff dust]

No they explicitly mentioned ark with that, they said they wanted to buy ark but downloaded winrar to try and help with them getting the game

[hushed nymph]

omg. winrar. For better downloading of your napster?

[slate widget]

"(Also I dont have Winrar yet ill tell it to my dad if we can get it)" that makes me think like they want to buy it.

[ember nymph]

As someone who loves winrar design, as I hate winzip I regret not buying winrar for couple dollars

[fading ice]

like.. windows can zip and unzip programs. for at least a decade?

[stiff dust]

Wasnt winrar a free install? I forget if it is

[fading ice]

no, it was just universally pirated

[slate widget]

it was free trial that lasted forever.

[stiff dust]

Ah

[hushed nymph]

nagware

[slate widget]

you were supposed to buy it.

[fading ice]

and if windows cant do it (it can) 7zip is free and way better than winzip/rar

[stiff dust]

I forgot winrar was pirated into oblivion

[hushed nymph]

You technically were supposed to buy it after the trial ended.

[ember nymph]

It's free just any time you open a file it has a popup to buy it just need to close it but if you use it for modding it get's annoying

[fading ice]

heck, windows can even make tar archives from the commandline now

[slate widget]

I just use windows. don't need to mess with all that fancy file software.

[fading ice]

winrar is just meme software at this point, and even that is near forgotten

[slate widget]

probably still have 7zip installed tho.

[stiff dust]

Thank god I don’t use winrar for modding, I use 7zip

[timber ivy]

I love 7zip

[fading ice]

anyone who's first experience with windows was post vista will probably not even know archiving software exists unless they are a developer or otherwise tech-literate

[stiff dust]

7zip is just amazing

[ember nymph]

I use winrar for ease since 7zip has the same design as file explorer it get's confusing what's in archive or not,

Mostly modding skyrim and minecraft and alt tabbing and knowing the things I need are in this design and the other stuff in another become easy to remember

[fading ice]

i had to open 7zip to check, because that sounded bizarre. it is. they look nothing alike anywhere 🤔

[stiff dust]

But still back to the point, in general that persons statements were just bizarre in general

[hushed nymph]

Yikes. Seeing the 1995 release date on WinRAR's wikipedia page and noting '29 years ago' makes me feel ancient.

[slate widget]

congrats. you are old.

winrar is older then me

[hushed nymph]

My cat is only a a few years younger than WinRAR, though.

[stiff dust]

I like how this now dissolved into talking about winrars age and 7zip being a superior program for modding and file extraction

[slate widget]

is your cat older then me

[hushed nymph]

He will be legal to drink in the USA in a couple months, so maybe.

[slate widget]

no, I'm older. unless you don't know what the legal drinking age is

[ember nymph]

@fading ice 7zip has an older windows design, so it's similar when not looking at each tab. winrar has different colours to file explorer so you can see without looking at each tab

[hushed nymph]

Not that I'd feed what is basically an echo of a meow from last century booze of any kind.

[slate widget]

is 1995 to 2003 really "a few years younger" 😂

[timber ivy]

Alcohol is overrated. I accidentally sipped some thinking it was apple juice. Tastes horrible would not recommend

[fading ice]

older like windows 98?

[timber ivy]

0/10

[fading ice]

it is plain text on a solid white background with no UI elements beyond that lol🤔 maybe mine is just old

[hushed nymph]

scale is relative. I have to deal with my parents' dating range overlapping my age.

[slate widget]

most is gonna taste bad lol. some don't tho.

[slate widget]

TMI

[fading ice]

..2018. huh

[ember nymph]

@fading ice doesn't matter still being similar with colour design and layout. If you're quickly scanning and alt tabbing a lot they become very similar in design at a quick glance

[fading ice]

nothing dark mode cant fix. or are you a heathen?

[slate widget]

hmm, lovely dark mode.

[fading ice]

now i am desperately trying to remember how we ended up talking about winrar in #ark-survival-ascended

[ember nymph]

@fading ice Nope I use what ever is default since that's what was intended. Automatically inverting colours look horrible. Owner designed the default to be good and just inverts colours. Why discord looks horrible in light mode and same for google being in dark mode. All I see when I invert it is going to a screen an inverting colours they all look horrible

[fading ice]

that is not how dark mode works, though

[ember nymph]

no but they don't design it properly so the contrast between columes and letters don't look right

[slate widget]

discord light mode doesn't look good because discord doesn't care.

[fading ice]

explorer's dark mode is almost identical to discord's 🤔

[slate widget]

its not an inversion or it'd still be grey.

discord light mode is solid white.

[ember nymph]

I just say that so people understand since I see it like inverting colours

[fading ice]

you know, the standard tones for dark mode industry-wide, for ease of viewing

[slate widget]

dark modes are designed as much as the author wants it to be. in most cases dark mode is more designed then light mode.

[fading ice]

discord's default is also light mode. or used to be. not installed it in a while

just nobody uses it because it is hideous

[ember nymph]

discord is dark mode by default

[fading ice]

pretty reasonable change

[slate widget]

pretty sure it was light mode, light mode also got worse.

it was so much of a joke, discord made it worse tho they do that with a lot of things.

[fading ice]

oh, apparently dark mode is ruined in windows 11 🤔

[lament lake]

Discord light mode was never default to my knowledge

[fading ice]

another reason to not ever use it

[copper brook]

dear devs

      please dont delay this update

[slate widget]

its windows 11

[fading ice]

this was in ancient history, like 8 years ago

[slate widget]

yeah, pretty sure it was when I made my account.

[lament lake]

I made my account almost 7 years ago as well so it would’ve been before that I guess

[ember nymph]

it's grey, most things I see that switch from light to dark just do pure black and it looks horrible. Grey with white letters are easy for me to read, black with white letters makes it harder to read so I dislike anything that does it

[lament lake]

Womp

[slate widget]

dark mode was made 2 months before my account

[fading ice]

scheduler and kernel performance regression fixed. still worse than 10 🤔

[fading ice]

anything using pure black needs to be fixed into the sun along with the developers. no effort was made, entire concept not comprehended

surely the budget included squinting at the result to see if it is horrible

[slate widget]

its the same reason discord's light mode should be thrown into the sun.

sign thanks brain

OH, here's something stupid. bing decided to only add dark mode this year 🙃 talk about stupid.

how did it take THIS long

[fading ice]

nobody uses bing, so..

[slate widget]

would've been shutdown if nobody used it

I use it it gives me free xbox money

[ember nymph]

Plus 15 years of writing on white background with black letters, heck anything but black letters look messy to me lol, mostly why I dislike everything being dark mode

[fading ice]

the stats show it is has a userbase that is almost trivial, but microsoft seems to be trying to make it live by an endless series of gimmicks

they must be bleeding billions with all the AI integration into it

[ember nymph]

I just adjust brightness to not damage eyes tho even dark mode should be doing that

[slate widget]

1.2 billion monthly users

[fading ice]

most of that is probably from people opening the windows start menu

certainly not 1/8th of the planet using bing intentionally. no browser defaults to it except edge

[slate widget]

users doesn't mean people.

[fading ice]

it.. should. but yeah

[slate widget]

users means accounts or even different non-accounts.

[fading ice]

but the start menu in 10/11 has bing integrated, so it probably counts every person who has ever signed into windows 10/11 as a user

[hushed nymph]

I don't remember which mod was asking, but yes, I just confirmed that you can feed wyvern milk to tames and it 'cures' Giga bite - gnashed status (tested from an attacking level 10 wild thyla) - as well as prevents new applications of the bite to the tame.

[slate widget]

it'd be a lot higher.

[fading ice]

iirc it is meant to cure burning, but it removes all DoTS?

there is no technical distinction between them

[ember nymph]

Wasn''t always like that for milk

[hushed nymph]

I can test if that also clears the debuffs from fighting Creatos.

[fading ice]

tools to disable that stuff in 10 have downloads probably approaching that number 🤔

[slate widget]

weird. probably too much of a hassle anyway.

[hushed nymph]

Also, I could test the Fasulo debuffs. The armor one can be nasty.

[slate widget]

the majority wouldn't care. only tech snobs would care about it.

[ebon blade]

anyone having problems to join? I have an instant timeout, doesnt matter the map/server I try to join. I was on a few hours ago, and now it just wont get in

[fading ice]

in my experience, regular users are equally annoyed by it. i know zero people who have not gotten rid of most of the bloaty stuff, and a lot are older or dont know how to do more than open a browser

they may not know how to do it themselves, but they know how to ask if it can be done

like.. the search in windows 10 is literally unusable until you do it. it cant find files on your desktop

[slate widget]

never heard of anybody but you that'd disable the search in windows. you hang around groups you get those kinds of people.

[slate widget]

you can tho... I've never had any issues.

[hushed nymph]

Wyvern milk clears the poop-throw blindness but has no effect on Armor Reducing Acid from a Fasolosucus.

[fading ice]

my mother who has three different versions of microsoft teams installed for no reason and only learned how to use computers in the last decade, last time i did a checkup, made me get rid of all that stuff

may not be computer literate, but is very bullshit-literate

[slate widget]

poop-throw blindness?

[hushed nymph]

They have an attack that disables all mount attacks.

[slate widget]

I don't even have a single version of microsoft teams. old people tend to download random stuff.

[ember nymph]

Wait what's this about win 10?

[slate widget]

okay ,but why'd you call it that is it the same effect as that other dino?

[fading ice]

it's search and file indexing defaults were insane to the point of being unusable up until like.. 2021?

[ember nymph]

I wanna go back to windows 10 :(, tho I don't want to deal with reinstalling everything

[fading ice]

you may be able to do an in-place downgrade without blowing up your install

10 2021 LTS is not a bad option for a few more years

[urban wigeon]

Wait so ab just got moved to 12pm pacific?

So another 5 hour delay

Ah was link to ark tweet

[slate widget]

officially. it needs to be done within the last 10 days.

[ember nymph]

Na I missed the downgrade window

[slate widget]

I'm sure there are some wild ways people have found tho.

[ember nymph]

I have constant issues with win11 and hate it. Most annoying one is my bluetooth headset always disconnects audio and only audio, mic still connected, takes multiple reconnects for the dam audio to stay connected. Laptop with win10 doesn't do this and my pc never did it when on win10

[slate widget]

I don't have that problem on my ayaneo geek make sure your drivers are fine.

[ember nymph]

headset still connected but only audio disconnects, mic still active

[quick dove]

5

[urban wigeon]

Too bad i was wrong and it’s 5 not 3

[ember nymph]

yeah they are, been having the issue since day one of install but I didn't think too much of it until it became annoying

[spare valve]

🦤🍏

[proven jewel]

Nah moving the update further and further is crazy

[hushed nymph]

And, yes, Wyvern Milk will clear and prevent reapplication of Creato envenommed effect. So you cannot use that while taming a Creatosaurus.

[slate widget]

few doesn't many 3 just means a small number of. could mean 5 in context.

[ember nymph]

Like I would understand if the whole headset disconnects but it's just the audio part that does and after disconnected and connecting maybe 3-5 times it stays on until I disconnect it

[placid wind]

Guys am newer to asa. Can anyone tell me if they will take off the mods for ark apocalypes in the new update

[fading ice]

wtf is a downgrade window?

[slate widget]

windows 11 allows users to switch back after upgrading within 10 days.

[hushed nymph]

Also, screw you Ark for spawning a dozen carnos where you were doing only Creatos. My milk almost all expired before I could find one to beat me up.

[red dragon]

Ffs aussies were finally gonna get a good release time and then they go and delay it twice

from midday to midnight to 5 in the morning

[fading ice]

it cant stop you from downgrading

[slate widget]

no I mean base windows has a button to do so.

I'm sure there are unofficial ways.

[pastel osprey]

Here we go with general melting down. :x

[slate widget]

but thats microsoft doing it

[fading ice]

you just run the installer and install it. in place upgrade/downgrade has been a thing for a long time

[red dragon]

can’t wait for the chinese to pillar off everything in the OC servers once again

[slate widget]

you aren't listening.

[ember nymph]

no but you havbe to do a fresh install of windows and that include deleting all programs installed. Maybe a weird way to bypass it but havent found one

you can keep files but programs get deleted

[fading ice]

i have done it numerous times to various PCs. not sure what you mean

it is a feature built into windows, pretty official

[slate widget]

in the settings it'll have a revert button for 10 days. no installer or anything needed.

[pastel osprey]

I'll probably be sleeping or showering during release anyway and I play private servers so. :x

[slate widget]

as far as I can see. using an installer will reset everything. and probably use a backup if it was made.

[fading ice]

that is how updates always work, it keeps the old files in a (very bloaty) folder for a period

[abstract kestrel]

guessing abberation got delayed again

[frosty compass]

for information, has there ever been a launch on time? 🙂

[slate widget]

#announcements

[placid wind]

Can anyone tell me if they will take off the mods on ark apocalypse in the new update wondering because i never tried it before but the mods seem to make it bad

[slate widget]

heard that it will have a new list but don't quote me

[timber zinc]

I have this as well... Temporary fix is to prevent desktop apps to access audio but it does not have a single app but more like an all app so if playing with discord vocal chat or something, you can't do that...

[eager owl]

well safe to say I am fully expecting general to get the 10-minute slowmode now.

[placid wind]

Okay thanks am just hoping they don't make it too op

[ember nymph]

Yeah and I missed that, to go back I would need to get a installer and do a fresh install but the installer doesn't let you keep your programs and my os drive has 500gb of none OS stuff. I'm waiting to buy another SSD to split it up then I'll deal with it but with SSD prices I'm good for now lol

[eager owl]

additional small delay still doesn't bother me because it's a day off for me anyways.

[ember nymph]

@timber zinc wait what do you mean like disabling all apps accessing the audio?

[fading ice]

of course it keeps your programs

it wont touch anything it does not need to. even if you clean install an entirely new OS, it wont wipe other partitions for no reason

[timber zinc]

In your audio settings, privacy I think, you can deactivate the mic for desktop apps... It solved that issue but I can't use it too often as i play with discord

Let me check where I read that

[fading ice]

you can "split up" a single drive, windows already does that without really showing you

[ember nymph]

@fading ice I already tried with the installer the only option is reset and keep files but that only keeps files not installed programs, said in the description

[slate widget]

that may be talking about windows programs. from the microsoft store.

[fading ice]

something wrong with it, not a compatible build or something. i have done it both ways quite a few times. you can even make some odd jumps between stuff like home to enterprise branches if you tinker with a few things

[ember nymph]

odd maybe something happened with my win 11 install and not letting me, ah well I don't mind waiting until end of year and buying a new SSD and doing a full refresh on the computer and manually backing everything up I need

[timber zinc]

@ember nymph neverymind, that was another issue with bluetooth and mic usage 😅 When I play ark and put on a video or discord, the sounds get bad as if split...
But I did have the issue you're talking about, had to go to the component website for new drivers to make it work again (usually the cpu brand)

[celest rampart]

its those dang xbox series s can't play nothin

Im tellin ya

[ember nymph]

@timber zinc dam yeah I tried that didn't work with new drivers, probs just a faulty win install that I'm too lazy to sort out right now

[fading ice]

10 security updates also end next year for normal versions. so you want LTS 2021, or just give up and try linux. pretty easy switch now for a normal user.

[exotic folio]

i'm gonna be honest i'm thankful for the delay

now i can sleep without setting an alarm

[glass seal]

please give us the trailer wildcard..

[ember nymph]

Tho I use voicemeeter and I have the audio issue that all audio starts to crackle and got to go to audiodg.exe and change affinity from all processors to a single one. Tho odd part is it only does it when discord opens lol, evil discord ruining my audio

@fading ice I'm more just waiting for win 12 since it's in the next year or 2

[wintry vessel]

can we bring our official characters from the island to aberration official when it launches?

[fading ice]

unlikely that is going to be an improvement somehow

[fading ice]

no. transfers open after a few months

[timber zinc]

You can transfer but naked

[wintry vessel]

so we have to reroll a fresh char on ab official tomorrow? can't bring our main character over if they're naked?

[exotic folio]

in uh 14 hours if no other delays

[ember nymph]

@fading ice nope but like all bugs it's random I'm hoping they screw up and cause bugs that don't affect me and the ones in win 11 does randomly gets fixed lol

[celest rampart]

we can unless they changed something again

[timber zinc]

You can, just naked, without cosmetics nor chibis

[exotic folio]

u can transfer characters just nothing else

[wintry vessel]

thank you

[exotic folio]

np

[fading ice]

what bugs?

[timber zinc]

But as a rule of thumb, I never do it in the first couple hours of lunch to not lose everything if there's a bug haha

[full stratus]

Hi

[ember nymph]

The issues I'm having with audio since it only started on win 11 and win 10 was fine for me. Bugs are always random if it happens

[exotic folio]

i forgot the name of that anime your pfp and banner is from but i've seen her before

[silent matrix]

Yall might as well just say it's gunna release Friday or saturday

We know you arnt ready yet

[finite shell]

Yes main naked

[glass seal]

maho shoujo ni akogarete

[frank cedar]

We need a trailer for abe

[exotic folio]

ah ty

[glass seal]

the name of the character is Utena Hiiragi

[dull snow]

So we gettin abb 22.00 eu time?

[glass seal]

she is extremely adorable and I want to head pat her

[frank cedar]

It’s 9pm for me ( I’m French )

[ember nymph]

Why do they never release trailers before launch? Arent they kinda meant to market the game to people who don't own the game, as everyone who sees last second trailer already owns the game

[silent matrix]

Hey guys question, lets say If im taming a max 450 and max lvl cap of a tamed dino is 600, Should I let the taming effectiveness stay to 100% so it reaches max immidietly or should I lower the effectiveness so I can control it's stat points?

[exotic folio]

i can't wait for me and the boys to mess around with the new spider as cosmo-man across the arkverse

[frank cedar]

I can’t play with friends cause I can’t pay a nitrado server….

[exotic folio]

i play offical

[frank cedar]

Looks too difficult to me

[regal relic]

Well I play unofficial

[exotic folio]

yeah i had a base almost decay entirely lucky i remembered oh carp my base

[finite shell]

Why is level cap so close to max level that don’t make sense to me

[ember nymph]

@exotic folio yeah sure we all know you're gonna be getting cuddled with raptors to even progress like the rest of us

[exotic folio]

?

[ember nymph]

cuddle raptors on abb

[frank cedar]

I played one day on official pve one day and it was horrible, there was bases everywhere so dinos dosnt spawn and I can’t even make my house

[exotic folio]

cuddle raptors?

[fading mountain]

Gotta learn to build

[finite shell]

If you don’t play day 1 your screeed

[ember nymph]

Abb raptors jump you

[exotic folio]

i thought they all did the jump thing

wait only the abberant ones pounce

[frank cedar]

Like when they don’t let you move ?

[ember nymph]

yeah the grabbing feature

It was like that for all raptors when it released but everyone hated it and they chose to make abb raptors the only one that do it

[frank cedar]

Does the normal raptor was also able to do this before ?

[exotic folio]

huh

[silent matrix]

dude Idk.. Im just playing whats better though?

[exotic folio]

idk i barely played ase

asas like my first true ark experience kinda

[gilded isle]

did they say its gonna be double rates for the week or am I imagining stuff?

[exotic folio]

2 weeks

only on abb i heard someone say

[gilded isle]

yea

[exotic folio]

so island scorched and center are 1x

[finite shell]

That’s what they say

[neat steeple]

Curious if chat cooldown is 5 mins here

[exotic folio]

nope

[ember nymph]

@exotic folio Basically these raptors can jump you and hold you down and can't move, even off small mounts like trikes

[exotic folio]

yeah pounce

i remeber hearing about that like once

[ember nymph]

it's not on other raptors but abb versions

[regal relic]

They won't extend rates causebof a map being delayed

[unborn oak]

Idk why people are giving death threats, I've already waited months for this I don't mind a 1 day delay

[exotic folio]

no they this was before the delay

abbs getting 2x for 2 weeks

[neat steeple]

I just hope the crystals and biomes really glow. The other past maps on Asa really nerfed/dimmed down the glow on crystals in caves.

[finite shell]

They can delay a week if they want just means it’ll be less buggy and more worked on

[exotic folio]

death threats where

[zenith trout]

it wont be.

[ember nymph]

abb will be 2x on launch for how long who knows

[unborn oak]

They show up in #general often said by people with very broken english

[exotic folio]

i rememeber watching the chaos here for scorched release

[finite shell]

🤣

[exotic folio]

the chat delay was crazy

[neat steeple]

2 weeks I think

[exotic folio]

yeah they said 2 weeks didn't they

[lament lake]

A brick is about to get very familiar with someone’s windshield

[ember nymph]

yeah

sounds right

[zenith trout]

Itll be the same tomorrow... I predict at least 2 more delays.. if not more. Ive rescheduled my "launch stream" to 9:30PM Eastern.. and Im betting we'll still be waiting then

[neat steeple]

I was bummed out with center map being changed so much from the original, I just hope AB looks stunning

[ember nymph]

well centre wasnt made by wildcard

[finite shell]

PvP ?

[exotic folio]

yeah 2 weeks they said it in community crunch 425

[ember nymph]

there's defo gonna be a 2 hour delay especially for steam we all know how these releases go on steam.

[zenith trout]

Nah.. I dont PvP anymore.. too old and impatient for that... just run my own servers .. gave up officials a LONG time ago.. they are always a hot mess

[finite shell]

Always lol

[exotic folio]

i can't wait to see what bs taming mechanic the yi ling has

i hope the yi ling is a knockout tame

[rose rover]

At least ab is out rn on single player

[zenith trout]

LOL.. it wont be.. thats too easy

[finite shell]

I hear you have to feed tribe mates to it

[exotic folio]

even tho the chances for that are 0.01%

[ember nymph]

You have to get it to chase you off a cliff and it snatches you to a cliff and slowly eats you to tame

[exotic folio]

solo players

[cedar oracle]

What?

[teal cliff]

I say passive due to the fact ots dossier mentioning vulnerability doing feather shooting

[exotic folio]

is this true

[ember nymph]

I made it up but come on this is wildcard it's something they would do

[finite shell]

They so would

[exotic folio]

i want the sacrifice your tribe mate option

finally my freind can be usefull

[analog plume]

🫣🤯

[finite shell]

lol

[exotic folio]

in it's promo art u can see babies in a nest right?

[ember nymph]

I just hope cosmo you have to drag bugs to it to eat. I don't really wanna shoot it, too cute to shoot at

[zenith trout]

Sorry.. guess they didnt like my standard of dress in my last post... edited version "You'll probably have to feed it 10 Rock Drake hearts, on a full moon, on a Tuesday ... dancing around in front of a campfire

[exotic folio]

passive tame with spoiled meat i bet

[exotic folio]

if only this was it

[zenith trout]

Um.. remember the trailer for The Island.. with the nests of baby Argies? Concept art means nothing... LOL.. I have YET to find a nest of baby argies

[exotic folio]

the more people dancing the better the taming effectiveness

[ember nymph]

I really hope someone makes cosmo a costume that looks evil and sicking for people with Arachnophobia, I'm not saying it would be fun running around with them as an army but it wouldn't be not fun

[exotic folio]

ik but still

don't count out stealing a baby as a taming option

[exotic folio]

more realistitc spider cosmo

[ember nymph]

yes

[neat steeple]

You use climbing picks and have to be above it pooping and it eats the poo

[zenith trout]

Already done it with the gigantoraptor... Im guessing it'll have something else in store for us than doing the "chicken dance"

[exotic folio]

mah u gotta craft a sword and jab into yourself and it eats yout body like a offering to tame

[zenith trout]

Think of what it takes to tame a Reaper.. and make it 10 times more complicated.. that'll be about right

[frank cedar]

Drop a trailer pls

[ember nymph]

imagine to tame cosmo you have to feed it a trike or bigger creature, small but deadly but decides to be docile when we tame it so that's why it looks cute but behind the scenes it's slowly eatign all your tames

[exotic folio]

what are u gonna have to lay a yi ling egg just to get it

[frank cedar]

You’re a monster

[zenith trout]

LOL.. they dont believe in dropping trailers until the game launches... dont need a time machine to learn that

[frank cedar]

Maybe one day they will understand

[exotic folio]

cosmo tame is gonna be some bs mini game like gain it's trust then web sling with it

and do tricks in the air to tame it

[abstract kestrel]

might aswell wait till next sept. 2025

[frank cedar]

Maybe its delayed cause they don’t finished the trailer and they are recording it 💀

[frank cedar]

Fr

[neat steeple]

Could see it have a mechanic like horse or something

[zenith trout]

Eh.. theyve proven that they dont have to. Look how rabid people get in here when the delays are announced... they can completely dis their community and still we all pile on when the game launches

[exotic folio]

if it is something like i just described i'm truly sorry

[ember nymph]

it's either they let sony cert to late and they're in line since sony has no deal to speed it up or they're struggling with this map running on xbox s

[zenith trout]

well.. except those trying to get in on officials or trying to play on consoles.. the ques and blue screens will be countless

[exotic folio]

but it would be fun i do like the minigame taming mechanics like the graptor or shasta

[neat steeple]

As much as I appreciate unique taming methods, I do despise some of them lol, fasola was cool then was toxic to do. Sometimes I prefer a simple ko, but do appreciate the uniqueness

[ember nymph]

maybe to tame cosmo you have to defeat it's mother, cosmo is only the baby

[exotic folio]

i fluffing love fasola knockout method

[neat steeple]

It’s cool but did it once and never again. Let my tribe members do it and offered something else in return lol

[exotic folio]

why couldn't the pyromane be like cosmo

[zenith trout]

Ok folks.. its almost 2am here and time to drag my old carcass to bed. I'll be back tomorrow to watch for the next delay announcement 🙂 Im sure I'll see some of you soon 🙂

[exotic folio]

cosmo is just a tiny blood stalker

[ember nymph]

well pryomane isn't the same thing and I don't care I want them to continue it, I want all elements of prymane

[neat steeple]

Wish I didn’t have such a dislike for spiders(blood stalker too) I used the stalker once years ago and never used em again

[exotic folio]

but atleast it's more unique then a shadowmane cosplaying as johnny storm

[ember nymph]

If you tame all elements of pyromane it evolves into a chaos pyromane

[exotic folio]

yeah i had the thought of a electic pyromane

a thundermane

that powers your base like how the pyro fuels forges and torches

[ember nymph]

watermane, earthmane, dark, light, ghost, Fairy, psychic give me all of them

🙂

[neat steeple]

Think on the unofficial servers I play on I’m gonna use the broken metal railings up high and throughout the map to build a train track that goes around
