ark-survival-ascended

[mortal yacht]

So are you in Asa or ase

[unique agate]

asa thats why im in the asa channel

want some challenge but really its more about the autentic ark experience is what im looking for. thats why I dont want stupidly boosted rates

[mortal yacht]

So I would say play aberration

[unique agate]

I am looking forward to playing that map. but me and a friend are playing the maps in order first

[mortal yacht]

Scorch is hard too

[mortal yacht]

My favourite is extinction

[unique agate]

yup. excited for that one too

both of thoes

[timber gorge]

Scorched it easy when you get your first base down

[mortal yacht]

Yeah

[orchid igloo]

scorched is the easiest isn't it lol

[mortal yacht]

No

[timber gorge]

Definitely not rhe easiest but

[unique agate]

couldnt be easier than The Island. currently playing that map now and other than the badly designed caves its very easy

[orchid igloo]

gotta be close

the island has harder caves and bosses than scorched

[unique agate]

the caves are not hard cmon.

[orchid igloo]

one cave is

[unique agate]

I mean other than the ice caves or whatever. those ones hurt my soul

[mortal yacht]

If you want it hard put 5.0 in difficulty and 1 everywhere

For the normal experience

[unique agate]

idk what that means but I have the max difficulty thing turned on. IDK what that means

idk

[mortal yacht]

You don’t have the max

[mortal yacht]

You can put the difficulty to 30

[mortal yacht]

This make high level Dino spawn

[mortal yacht]

For exemple at 30 they are all level 900

[unique agate]

I didnt see any difficulty settings other than "Enable Max Difficulty"

[mortal yacht]

It takes 5 hour to tame the Dino in the best world

[unique agate]

which is turned on

[mortal yacht]

look under

[mortal yacht]

Oh wait nvm

[unique agate]

Override official difficulty?

[mortal yacht]

Put this at 5.0

[zenith void]

Lost colony releases at 20:00 est or pst

[unique agate]

its at 5 already. has been from the start

[mortal yacht]

Make all Dino level 80 to 150

[zenith void]

Its giving me ptsd

[mortal yacht]

Yeah you good that is the normal experience

[orchid igloo]

12pm pst

unless they changed it

[unique agate]

so what is the enable max difficulty setting for?

[zenith void]

Oh nice . Tyvm 🙂

[orchid igloo]

np 🙂

[orchid igloo]

sets it to the hardest difficulty by official standards which is max level dino = 150

[unique agate]

oh so it can go higher? is that not easier tho? I would say finding higher level dinos is easier not harder

[orchid igloo]

i've tried it higher, and it does feel a lot easier yeah

just taming takes longer

[unique agate]

I see I see.

as of right now with these settings its quite fun but getting a baby to live is painful

[mortal yacht]

Yeah

[orchid igloo]

just speed it up to what feels comfortable, with my settings it takes 2h45m total to raise a rex which feels good

[mortal yacht]

Question how do yall tame things it takes hour no?

[unique agate]

it do. but you just use kibble and chill

also sanguine elixir

[verbal nebula]

Any news on lost colony?

[marble canopy]

Deinotherium better than Theri for boss? (excluding brood & manticore)

[quasi hemlock]

Anyone want wc to add more creatures to older maps like the center? I think the megaraptor would fit on the center and ragnarok

[velvet latch]

Down the line perhaps, kind of feel if you did that now valguero would be kind of redundant

[torn sparrow]

is ark ascended supposed to run so bad on xbox

[native belfry]

anyone doing alpha rockwell on official?

[ancient ridge]

Will Ark be included in the promotion tomorrow?

[boreal ocean]

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you

[azure lintel]

any info/ any ETA of lost colony map?

[fervent wraith]

^^

[slate widget]

its pinned.

[fervent wraith]

awesome thanks

[steel abyss]

y i get banned from survivetheark website

[orchid igloo]

Were you really mean

[plucky niche]

Does lost colony drop in 2hrs?

[elfin orbit]

FAHHHHHH

[half cradle]

Yeah I am confused also I thought it was the 18th so was the announcement for tonight or tomorrow time

[plucky niche]

if it drops in 2hrs does the official servers also drop? or nah

[strong torrent]

they just delayed it, as per usual.

[willow forum]

.

[red dragon]

it was never dropping in 2 hours

[plucky niche]

so is it in 26hrs then? or

[red dragon]

After the delay yeah

[plucky niche]

5am release

[red dragon]

but it’ll get delayed again closer to the time

[plucky niche]

lmao

[waxen elm]

is this even going to feel like ark? patch notes sound like a palworld expansion

[red dragon]

Loll i was feeling the same

[fading ice]

what patchnotes

[waxen elm]

the steam page got update with all the contents of the map

[plush mist]

Those are WILD. "Do you want to be a vampire and enslave people conan exiles style" i mean maybe

[native belfry]

Steam page looks kinda sick

[waxen elm]

kind of here for the dinosaurs...

[mortal yacht]

Enslave🤨 I know what I am going to do

Also this feels like it is stolen from pal world

[waxen elm]

yeah conan and palworld in space

going to be weird telling people im playing "dinos" any more...

[ancient ridge]

Will Ark be included in the promotion tomorrow?

[mortal yacht]

What promotion

[fair wyvern]

you will have to wait and see

[red dragon]

this sounds cool as i’m so excited

[vague bay]

so is it just me or does every feature of lost colony look incredibly overpowered, even compared to previous dlc releases?

[ancient ridge]

When the Lost map is released, it will be on sale.

[mortal yacht]

Yes

[mortal yacht]

How much

[red dragon]

It definitely does but gen 2 was already the pinnacle of easy mode

[waxen elm]

i guess its depends if your pve or pvp. underground bunkers sounds insane for pvp. especially with thralls getting full kits and controllable from inside said bunker.

[fair wyvern]

lost colony will not be discounted on release

[mortal yacht]

Not really op people Already where in cave

[vague bay]

yeah but like, war bench alone sounds considerably more powerful than anything ever especially once gen 1 missions come around, that's not even mentioning stuff like traits, those thralls, bloodforge sounds pretty powerful for pvp too considering that beyond max dura thing.

[heavy hamlet]

anyone have the lost colony logo png?

[slate widget]

this one?

[heavy hamlet]

yes!

[heavy hamlet]

thank you!

[faint flax]

bruh anyone else see the stuff on steam page? that stuff looks insane and fun

so much stuff to explore

Fabricated Crossbow: A high-tech twist on a classic that supports nearly every bolt, arrow, and harpoon projectile. Switch between Classic Mode for standard fire, Sniper Mode for long-range takedowns, or Shotgun Mode for crowd control.

[steel abyss]

no

legit just made a report which was kinda false

been working hard on pvp to get these gigas but then after i had all the tributes sum1 had a giant tek turret cage set up outside of his cave

which is griefing but ig its pvp so all the bobs have to deal with it and get their tekgrams elsewhere

[faint flax]

"Total Possession: Assume direct control of any Thrall in your army via neural link. With no limits on range or duration, you can use their expendable lives to scout lethal territory, or equip them with your own high-tier weaponry to turn the tide of battle."

really hope this won't be a repeat of dimorp c4 kamikaze rushes

but uh this looks like new soak method sicne can just have someone back at base control thrall and load em up with rockets or so and just yolo rush

[steel abyss]

u think it would be a good method if i used carbonemys and made them all rush a turret tower

then when all the tame turrets are soaked i send in arthropleura set on aggressive

and they destroy everything

[faint flax]

see what i mean? the raiding potential gonna be insane

[steel abyss]

i never see anyone do it

it has potential

impossible to counter unless they are always online and have tribe logs up 24/7

[faint flax]

the question tho is will they count as creatures for turrets or survivors

[steel abyss]

no i sit from a distance and command my tames to rush in then once all the tames only are soaked i send arthropleuras in on aggressive so they destroy it from the ground up

so i wont be in its range

[faint flax]

Beast Riders: Thralls are trained for war, not companionship. Order these elite enforcers to seize the reins of your beasts, transforming primal creatures into disciplined war machines piloted by cold, calculating executioners.

Survivor Enhancements: Your leadership defines their strength. Invest in the Beastmaster skill tree to unlock passive buffs, such as Husk’s Resilience and Violence Made Manifest, which boost the damage and defense of every Thrall you command.

i feel like gonna be insane

also i think you can only control one at a time?

[steel abyss]

whats this

[faint flax]

stuff coming in lost colony

[steel abyss]

where u find it

[faint flax]

steam page

there's an insane amount of stuff in there

i mean just look at these new items and structures

"Fabricated Crossbow: A high-tech twist on a classic that supports nearly every bolt, arrow, and harpoon projectile. Switch between Classic Mode for standard fire, Sniper Mode for long-range takedowns, or Shotgun Mode for crowd control.

Tek Spear: The ultimate melee-range hybrid. Master the flow of combat with a blink-dash to evade damage or teleport straight to your thrown weapon. Switch modes to inflict Torpor for non-lethal takedowns, or raise a defensive field that blocks strikes and deflects incoming projectiles.

Holo-Decoy: Deploy a holographic clone of your survivor to distract wild creatures and lure enemies into traps.

Bloodforge: A sinister new crafting station that can repair any item, or reinforce it beyond its maximum durability, for a price paid in blood.

War Bench: Don't throw away low-tier loot! Combine three low-quality items to forge a single, higher-tier masterpiece.

Medical Stand: Connect this versatile station to nearby creatures to auto-feed narcotics for simplified taming, administer stimulants or bloodpacks to restore vital stats, or drain health to generate new supply.

Cryo-Hospital: A Tek-tier storage unit that passively grants experience points, provides sustenance, heals, and restores consciousness for creatures stored inside Cryopods."

tell me this stuff isn't insane

[wide mist]

Im actually gonna gloon all over

Lost colony is the first ark map i have ever bought day one

I've played since 2017 xbox one early access

This is the best 30$ I may have spent

One issue

Thralls should not be cross map

It sounds like thralls would ruin most pvp servers because big tribes or alliances would have huge armies

Lost colony being like a mini empire game mode inside of ark is awesome tho

[faint flax]

Fabricated Crossbow: just feels fine jack of all trades master of none

Tek Spear: dunno on but sounds nutty

Holo-Decoy: feels like gonna be good way to lure dinos into taming traps or off cliffs

Bloodforge:. feels like means can repair stuff withour resources tho wonder if by flood means by hp

War Bench: feels like better tinkering desk

Medical Stand: feels like gonna help with giga taming etc by managing sleep tho the healing thing seems interesting cause maybe means we can heal wild dinos that ko'd so they don't die or drain them to make more for another creature?
Cryo-Hospital: feels like gonna make daedons or owls not as needed for post fight healing?

[ember raft]

10Pm is a big L

[cinder folio]

when something requires blood it will prob req bloodpacks

[faint flax]

maybe but would be weird tho maybe they mean the augmenting the part gotta use blood for and aside from that it just repairs stuff so don't need to go back and forth between a fab and smithy?

Medical Stand: Connect this versatile station to nearby creatures to auto-feed narcotics for simplified taming, administer stimulants or bloodpacks to restore vital stats, or drain health to generate new supply.

Cryo-Hospital: A Tek-tier storage unit that passively grants experience points, provides sustenance, heals, and restores consciousness for creatures stored inside Cryopods.

these 2 not sure on fully

does it mean we can heal wild dinos as they ko'd and also tames or just wilds?

[red dragon]

Sounds like it’s for all creatures

This stuff sounds so exciting

[faint flax]

feels like cryo hospital does everything med stand does but better except the administering narcotics for ko'd dinos

[red dragon]

It’s probably a higher engram or tek gram

or just uses element

the narcotics part will be helpful though

[faint flax]

i mean there is one difference i see in that if wanna heal dinos but keep em out to make eggs etc

issue is if egg layers got hurt means threats inside the base and that bad

[austere yew]

I sincerely hope, that this map will be hard. Like a real challenge, especially in the beginning 🙏

[plush mist]

I'm wondering about the whole "so are you going to be a monster" thing, i hope it doesn't cut gameplay or story elements if you refuse to get corrupted or something

[modern tulip]

can’t wait to force my thralls into harsh labor in the Vulpite mines

[tall cypress]

Was release date just delayed again?

[slate widget]

its pinned.

[proud whale]

Pinned where

[slate widget]

here and #general. and the last message in #announcements

[vagrant patrol]

can any playstation player do me a favor rq check and see if this pve official server 6151 pop up for them

[near sluice]

The release time for Lost Colony Map will be 6AM PST on December 19?

[hidden adder]

@last sedge seems it got delayed, huh

[slate widget]

its pinned. that isn't correct no.

[torpid briar]

Does anyone know if playing on a server improves performance? Literally cant play this game on anything over 20FPS with volumetric cloud and fog turned off, nanite edges set to 4 and setting on medium-low. Any lower and the game looks worse than Evolved and honestly might as well go back to playing that at that point...

[bitter hill]

Yo can someone at WC trip up stumble across the room safely of course, scrape their knee on the bin that someone should of emptied 3 days ago and fall back only to accidently hit the download activate button for steam on ASA lost colony launch. Thanks i appreciate it in advance and sorry for your misfortune

[faint flax]

considering the description of terrain looks like it

like can you imagine having to explore ruins or partial ruins of ab ark all threats of it breaking loose?

[faint flax]

this info on steam page so looks like they gonna make it a giant death trap all over

e Lost King's Dominion: Infiltrate a majestic, tiered gothic metropolis that stands as a daunting monument to the Lost King's power. Heavily guarded by the Thrall army, this dark dominion is safe for the docile and obedient, but aggression will generate Hostility, drawing the relentless attention of elite patrols.

The Tundra: Navigate the map's perimeter, a desolate Arctic expanse scarred with craters and debris from a large fallen ARK that crashed back to Earth.

Twilight Forest and Mountains: A fantasy boreal nightmare where the bioluminescent flora reacts dynamically to the Auroras overhead. As you ascend, the forest thins into craggy peaks and knife edged rocky spires.

The Dark Forest: A twisted, foreboding woodland that serves as the gateway to the map's more dangerous zones.

The Caldera: Journey into the heart of this collapsed volcanic crater. This dramatic sunken pit is the city's power core, where superheated water channels geothermal energy upward, feeding the gothic metropolis with radiant heat. At its center looms a colossal megalithic ring - a sacred ritual site consecrated by the Lost King.

Hot Springs: Scattered across the map, these pockets of geothermal activity provide ample water and resources. They offer a vital, warm respite for players attempting to recover from the brutal Windchill of the Necrocene.

Aberrant Crash Sites: Venture into hazardous toxic sludge environments where debris from the crashed Aberrant ARK has corrupted the landscape, twisting flora and fauna into radioactive nightmares and avoid the bubbling pools of corruptive liquid Edmundium.

aw it was just a gif of kuzco saying bring it on 😓

[hidden adder]

Going to be interesting to start my lvl 1 beach bob run on the map

[austere yew]

Sounds amazing and hopefully challenging till a point it seems almost kinda unfair

Wanna relive that feeling I had on Aberration back then on ASE

[faint flax]

question is how will ab sites be handled to truly be abb like other then just element pools and plants like gen 2 rockwell side vibe

[austere yew]

I love questions and exploring their answer

[faint flax]

imagine if we could explore ruins of one abs obelisks

[austere yew]

I can imagine alot of things possible with this map, I just hope its as amazing as I hope it is lol

[faint flax]

we prob over hyping outselves but 🤷

[austere yew]

Whats life worth if not overhyping some things youre passionate about, right?

[faint flax]

better over hyped then underhyped

cause if doesn't mean perfect of overhype hopes gets brought down to great or good vs

[austere yew]

Imagine the pain when the map is shiet and we are so very disappointed

[faint flax]

hey that's insane talk

map gonna be better then center and whatnot

[austere yew]

Thats not as hard to achieve as some may think lmao

Imagine it being better than aberration tho, that would be crazy

[faint flax]

looks at center and aquatica i dunno

[austere yew]

[reef ermine]

Wildcard's promises always sound great, but will they be able to deliver?

[faint flax]

more then aquatica or the day before game 😅

[patent pollen]

Your bar is so low the devil just tripped over it 🤣

[faint flax]

verybold for you to think those are only that low

that bar so low it's found dinosaurs at center of the earth

[patent pollen]

Your bar isnt low enough imo lol. The devil is lower than dino bones, the day before was a legit scam not even a game. Your bar should be set in the farthest depth of hell if the day before is worth comparing 😆

[faint flax]

nah nah

[faint flax]

hell is at least organized and run well so saying bar that level an insult to hell

[patent pollen]

And saying the center of the earth is low enough an insult to the planet as a whole, perhaps both our setting for that bar arent low enough we must go deeper

[twin jungle]

whats peoples opinion on the upgrade station mod? does it throw of the games balance? ive been planning modded with some slightly better tranqs (not crazy 3x lol more like 30% better up to a whole 100% for a lot of difficult resources) and upgrade station which let me upgrade my flak and bow to like 500+% easily and "cheap"? makes me feel like the game is now to easy? considering removing the upgrade station mod

[slate widget]

out of the cheating mod category. upgrade station definitely sits up there
it makes "loot" basically always the best.
I think there are settings to make it less OP, like how on officials the max is a lot lower then unofficials/default.

for normal loot I mean not upgrade station lol

[faint flax]

so it's gone so far down it's exited the planet and yeeted out system

[twin jungle]

hm i think ill consider tweaking some ini for it then, because i also use the repair anvil from vanilla with sprinkles, i def feel like im cheating lol gonna turn it down a bit

[austere yew]

Yea, upgrade station basically makes blueprints to hunt for useless, doesn't it? You can just upgrade with some grind and get best armor/weapon/saddle there is

[hidden adder]

Repair anvil uses the resources you have I think, you just don’t need to bring stuff to the specific crafting station, right-click each piece and select repair

[slate widget]

the real reason its OP is it doesn't have the official limits so you can also go way above 298% or whatever it is.
normal unofficials its very rare to go above that without changing loot quality (or equivelent) settings.

[hidden adder]

Upgrade station is very much in the OP category, and very hard to try to balance. If you hate the loot grind it’s fine to use though

[austere yew]

Even if it was capped at official limits, it'd still be OP

[hidden adder]

Unofficials with unmodified loot quality easily hit max capped items, wym

[slate widget]

just limit it to offiicals and you'll be fine 🤷 official trading also makes it more or less the same.

[slate widget]

I have never found a 700% item without boosting it or using gachas when extinction first released

[hidden adder]

I love my 500% torch, sadly not bp that I could get to 755.3%, but good enough. If only I had a shotty above 250%

[slate widget]

my highest is 500% I think

from the drakeling stashes

I think gachas can pretty easily give capped gear tho.

[teal cliff]

O yeah i capped my gear at 500% and armor at around 500lower what wozld be nornslly possible unoffi and saddle armor is 220

[austere yew]

Idk, for me its no even just about the stats but the reliability it provides. When looting drops you have to have some luck, it takes time to do so to get decent gear etc.

If you just upgrade your stuff, you basically just skip content for mostly some basic ressources and be OP

[slate widget]

thats why you change settings.

make it cost more, make the limit lower, etc.

you can make it only be able to go to mastercraft and cost more than a tek replicator

[austere yew]

Very hard to balance it right, but thats a first step, yea

[slate widget]

it can work, default is very much not balanced.

[austere yew]

It also depends on the other settings you play with - lets say you play primal fear (or w/e it is called now), upgrade station being OP may be your last concern - but just vanilla with upgrade station is like almost anytime OP imo

But yet thats just my take on that and you gotta live with it yourself, however you want it

[slate widget]

if somebody does want to farm mats instead of going through tons of caves for the chance. I think thats valid lol.
just not the less then a normal BP's amount of resources it uses by default

[faint flax]

not really?

like if you found made a bp of a 200% sword could uprade into something better

question tho is how much better will it be?

plus it could just only impact tier

like we've all prob found a mastercraft or so weapon or armor with worse stats then a purple etc

[austere yew]

But what makes you unable to just upgrade a 100% sword tho?

Until you get one you like

[faint flax]

all i know is had to usethe upgrade station mode to get above base suchus saddles to convert to bp to upgrade further

[slate widget]

with enough resources, non-default configs.

you just keep re-rolling until you get a good one, then do a new blueprint with the included blueprint maker and keep rolling on the new better BP.

[faint flax]

honestly even if the bench just a slow improvement like 5% dmg more then best of item fused from would still be better then tinkering desk

[slate widget]

assuming it doesn't take the weird average the tinker did then it will be innately better
the tinkering desk often lowered quality if they weren't around the same. wasn't useless as you could use different items to raise one

assuming you are talking about the war bench right?

[faint flax]

Holo-Decoy: Deploy a holographic clone of your survivor to distract wild creatures and lure enemies into traps.

Bloodforge: A sinister new crafting station that can repair any item, or reinforce it beyond its maximum durability

Medical Stand: Connect this versatile station to nearby creatures to auto-feed narcotics for simplified taming, administer stimulants or bloodpacks to restore vital stats, or drain health to generate new supply.

Cryo-Hospital:Tek-tier storage unit that passively grants experience points, provides sustenance, heals, and restores consciousness for creatures stored inside Cryopods.

honestly these are the thigns more curious on

decoy simple enough but question if you can throw it or it activates as a timer

[slate widget]

I wonder how the medical stand actually works. is it a structure or what do you have to move wilds to use it or does it ignore the tribe prevention.

[faint flax]

things i wanna know of teach

bloodforge: can it use bloodbacks or does it use your hp and either way is that to repair items or just for the reinforce thing

med stand: does the healing and drain things apply to wild dinos like the narcoitcs auto feed or just tames

[slate widget]

why would you want to heal wilds?

drain health would mean it acts like a turret

[faint flax]

incase something attacks em? so they don't die?

[slate widget]

it'd ruin TE, might as well restart lol

[faint flax]

yeah i feel like that part only works on ko'd dinos

also isn't there item that restores TE as long as not used on a passive tame?

[slate widget]

don't think so unless the turtle's item does. I never used it.

[faint flax]

like restoring TE doesn't mean much if they die to random dino

[faint flax]

The Algae Sushi in ARK: Survival Ascended can be fed to any KO tame creature in order to recover lost taming effectiveness, recovering roughly 10% per use and having a cooldown of 5 minutes.

so it's not alot but you could in theory restore lost TE if they outcold enough

[slate widget]

yeah, you can use that.

I knew the sushi did something

[faint flax]

but this all depends on if it works on just wilds or also tames and if just wilds if they ko'd or not

[slate widget]

accidently drains the wild you meant to tame

[faint flax]

honestly of all these things most interesting the crossbow

[slate widget]

I hope it does more damage(for torpor) then the normal crossbow

[faint flax]

yeah but thing is it might be lower but at same time able to use everything nice

[slate widget]

I don't really think the other 2 are good enough to be useful if its worse then a crossbow

unless the shotgun lets it shoot all the torpor at once 😂

[faint flax]

wonder what arrows spears or bolts are not usable since it says nearly all

[slate widget]

I just realized
Cryo-Hospital:Tek-tier storage unit that passively grants experience points, provides sustenance, heals, and restores consciousness for creatures stored inside Cryopods.
makes you not need baby food

[stark tulip]

Any fix for crashing mid download when transferring, I’ve lost 6 characters in the space of a week

[faint flax]

plus maybe it trades slight dmg for a make like simple pistol vs fab?

[stark tulip]

2 in the same day

[faint flax]

inb4 it drains food from a nearby trough

[slate widget]

big sad

I mean I won't use it, I use dino depot lol

but for the official peeps

[muted salmon]

how to play asa for free??

[slate widget]

already own it or already be paying for gamepass.

[faint flax]

hope win a giveaweay or got irl friends

[slate widget]

those are valid too

[muted salmon]

damn it i have none..

[faint flax]

but yeah cryo fridge unknown on what requires cause i assume it stops maturation

which i hope it does imo

[faint flax]

also what if it doesn't apply to babies?

[slate widget]

then it doesn't work lol. grow them babies 😂

gotta feed them normally

[faint flax]

it's a mystery tbh

[remote ore]

Ty wc for other ridicolus launch time maps... 5 am europa....

[devout olive]

The Lost King.
Colour: Red
Role: The Damned.
Favourite Game: Hello Kitty Island Adventure
🤣

[robust edge]

There isnt gonna be faction warfare, right?

[twin jungle]

ah i couldnt find ANY info since the mod description doesnt mention anything lol if that is the case im ok with it

think i decided to keep upgrade station but make it cost more, especially exponentially, i think its fair to give the player choice between having to grind supply drops or materials to upgrade the grear

[gentle elk]

Lost colony is stupid , ark trying to be like Conan exiles

[faint flax]

if it does got lower dmg how much lower and or if it has a mag how big would mag beed to be to offset the tint dmg nerf?

[stable comet]

Lost colony seem cooler to me than old ark

[faint flax]

i like the dragon

[remote sluice]

Fr

[remote sluice]

You will probably love the new one in the lost colony then

[faint flax]

that one talking about

i git wyvern as is water dragon from draconis glaucus mod and now eastern dragon all need now is western like boss dragon and all set

[blissful pagoda]

How to install the ARK SURVIVAL ASCENDED card?
Help
I bought an xbox game pass on my PC, installed the game and want to play on another card, I click and it takes me to the Microsoft store, I downloaded it there, it was downloaded in a separate folder, where and how do I upload it? because when you try to access this card, it says that you do not have this DLS and transfers it to the Microsoft store.

[remote sluice]

Aureliax seems to be goated

hope it will has a special taming

[empty swan]

Same

[remote sluice]

J'ai vu que la maj était déplacée à demain 5h mais je sais pas si c'est factuel

[empty swan]

Je crois que c'est heure du pacific du coup

Genre nous ce serait vers 9h probablement

Après peut-être que je me trompe

[remote sluice]

À la base c'était ce soir à 21h30 mais j'ai vu une vidéo qui disait que ça a été reporté à demain 5h

[empty swan]

Je sais bien oui, et puis il l'ont annoncé que ça allait être reporté

J'étais trop hype pour ce soir moi xD

[hidden adder]

If that is your take then LC is the best. What I really want from a survival game is a mix of Conan and ARK - ARKs taming and creature management, but the rest of the gameplay more Conan-like

[gentle elk]

I just don’t know how TF we went from dinosaur survival game to what we have now…. Wild card just making stuff up as they go seriously

[remote sluice]

Moi aussi mdr mais bon , dommage

[empty swan]

Moui

[faint flax]

i mean given how obelisks etc work fantasy and sci-fi gonna be expected

[warm heron]

can we buy LC without the fantastic tames?

[visual oasis]

is there an official timer or something till this drops? im GMT+11/12 so i dont know if its supposed to be in a few hours or 24 hours or wjat

[austere yew]

Honestly, it was never only this - it was always spacy and fictional too - Dragons, Spiders, Big ahhh monkeys - they just expand their game now and honestly? What new things do you want? Apex Creature X that has a bite and a roar?

You can always just go back to island and play with dinosaurs - this is a new approach and I'm sure quite a few people like it

[last sedge]

Yeah, when LC drops

[bold dock]

yes its supposed to get split after launch, but dont expect it to get cheaper because of that

[last sedge]

<t:1766116800:R> LC releases as per the post in #announcements

[warm heron]

they had that stuff in the background not as part of the main gameplay, im still here playing the game but i can see why someone who wanted a mostly dino themed survival game would stop

[visual oasis]

oh ok, wasnt sure what was going on with it, luckily i bought lost colony pass six months ago lol, its midnight here but i still want to fire up the game on xbox, so atleast the dlc wont screw me while playing

[warm heron]

it doesnt really matter what the bosses are bc the dino gameplay and theme is still the same

[bold dock]

ark hasnt been a dino themed survival game since the launch of original SE, so doesnt really matter

[visual oasis]

my xbox saves got wiped on singleplayer so i might actually just start a random game there till the drop, and ill have to effectively start from scratch on lost colony, i know server transfers will be locked, but does that stop the singleplayer map transfers as well?

[faint flax]

all i know is new dragon type get and just missing tameable western one like boss

[warm heron]

now we're getting 'dragontopia' its gonna be peak guys i swear!

[faint flax]

hasn't for me imo

[visual oasis]

ok cool, and yeah im looking forward to new dragons, like i like the wyverns but always wanted an official western dragon, and the closed things to that are the rock drake and the managarmr

[faint flax]

got tiny stuff bringing to lC when drops

[austere yew]

I mean, I sure get what you mean, yet it was never only a dinosaur game, maybe when it was ASE Island only and even then it had dinosaurs, aswell as mammoths, so stuff from more than just dinosaur time

And now they expand, cuz releasing new dino X and new same looking map Y isn't going to get you anywhere and honestly? Give me all that stuff. If I wanna play with dinos, imo hop on other maps like island and play with my trex

[visual oasis]

i hope the corrupted dinos from abb, that were announced on the steam page, include a corrupted rock drake, i mean reallly they cant miss out on one of those? its literally down by abbs terminals and the element lakes so a crashed abb, should have corrupted/radiated drakes

[austere yew]

Corrupted rockdrakes exist already on extinction, no?

[faint flax]

question is how much of ab ark can we explore cause doubt can explore full thing

[visual oasis]

do they? dont remember, the extinction launch on asa i missed

[austere yew]

They do, pretty sure, yes

[faint flax]

maybe misc structures and debris

main ark ruin prob just radioactive rubble

[visual oasis]

the extinction rock drakes would be the titan corrupted ones? but the new corrupted/ irradiated dinos are from rockwell, so they would have to have a drake look different than extinction

[median island]

Hey im new and looking for a Team to Play with, First of all sry for my English its Not so good (German)

[faint flax]

inb4 Rockwell got idea or based noglin etc from arat prime stuff saw

[austere yew]

Uh, idk tbh, not that deep into the story to know if thats different. Aren't the abberation corrupted dinos not just corrupted by element itself?

[visual oasis]

from what was just shown by raasclark, the little shoulder pet thing is rockwells first attempt at the noglin, so its not natural, its an artificial creature and the noglin is based off of this one

[faint flax]

wrong channel

[median island]

What Channel is the Right one?

[faint flax]

#1110949794907684965

[median island]

Ok

[faint flax]

looking for group stuff mixed bag so best of luck

[visual oasis]

abb dinos are variants due to element rivers and havign to adapt underground, the rockwell versions im talking about are from genesis part 2 where he corrupted and mutated dinos, they look so different, and the extinction corrupted dinos are different again, as the element is changing them based on direction from the king titan, so the fact they mention new irradiated creatures means its another subclass i think

[austere yew]

Ohh true, Genesis 2 - haven't played that for a loong time

Maybe it will be a "inbetween" subclass, like already corrupted by rockwell, but like experimental kinda thing

[visual oasis]

yeah thats what i think, his experimental ones, but changed due to the radiation from the crash, as it was definitely stated that little glowing eyed shoulder pet is a rockwell experiment

[faint flax]

ab dinos were around for awhile

[visual oasis]

yeah but what i mean is like tha abb variants of the stegos and such, they were normal, then mutated due to living underground and the element river, to become bioluminescent, which makes them a subclass,

[faint flax]

ravagers killed a group of college students around diana etc time so alot not from rad rivers but yeah ab stegos etc adapted

[visual oasis]

so these irradiated ones will prob be another subclass like that, due to the crash, as we already see a irradiated rex in the images

[faint flax]

not cause of element river tho just matching bioluminescence in general iirc

[visual oasis]

probably, just wasnt sure about if the element river had done that as well, havent played abb in like 3-4 years

[faint flax]

all we know is surface is like crematora ftom riddick movie etc cause Santiago and pals built a legit nuke augmented it with element and bombed overseer arena

we just know rockwell didn't make reapers etc

[visual oasis]

so , at this point we have standard dinos, then one subclass for abberation, as they are visually different, then extinction has another subclass, being the corrupted dinos, genesis 2 had a third subclass, that were horror themed lol, and now a fourth due to radiation, and as far as we know, the abb ark was similar to the island, before the explosion so its possible the dinos were the same or similar

[unreal bay]

I love this game, but literally every single update Wildcard/Snail delay past release. Literally every single time.

I've never had such little confidence for a game studio/publisher despite loving the game.

[visual oasis]

yeah, sadly i expect that from every dev now, we were supposed to get a massive 100gb mod increase update on xbox for fallout 4 yesterday, and bethesda screwed that up till mid next year, so my confidence in any game dev is rockbottom

[faint flax]

reapers prob made to punish survivor's for subverting ark trials etc

[bold dock]

i mean bethesta is dogshit since fallout 3 and wildcard doing wildcard things is somethin you should just expect at this point

[unreal bay]

Equally though there's plenty of success stories for other games, but I'm talking just Wildcard/Snail, they consistently do this.

Aberration was jank AF at launch (even with delays), I expect Lost Colony to be the same

[faint flax]

aame like wyverns and mantis on scorched

[visual oasis]

true, dont forget the wyvern trench was created to punish scorched earth, so maybe when the overseer got blown up on abb, it triggered an automatic punishment, making reapers

[faint flax]

or reapers already existed just area they in expanded once element river opened up

[visual oasis]

and when you think about it, dont gigas and charchars, also feel like an overseer punishment, only three spawn at all at a time, and they are a difficult challenge unless you are prepared

for me, with abb, i always assumed the reapers were in hibernation in the bottom of the abb ark, and with the overseer death, they got out somehow and dug through the ark till they got near the element river, and its always been my theory that the element river is from some broken power core as it is a literal waterfall, so maybe the reapers got sucked down through it, i mean we basically dont see them in the greenzone at all

[faint flax]

remember guys most survivors on ab were tek so reapers prob made to be extra brutal since they target humans exclusively

also mot quite on element river

[visual oasis]

yeah they were def created as a punishment, but probably kept in hibernation by the overseer till he needed them, prob got released on his death

[faint flax]

the river is basically element storage tanks ruptured

[faint flax]

no i mean they already existed just element rupture etc expanded territory

also the overseer isn't dead

[short turtle]

Hi, does anyone know if the Lost Colony expansion is still available for purchase?

[faint flax]

mostly it's fighting Rockwell for control and struggling to manage the ark st delta

[visual oasis]

yeah i get what you mean, but i meant maybe they were purposely seperated and kept in hibernation by the old overseer, the one that got blown up, and after the damage from the nuke maybe something broke and they got released, before rockwell became the new overseer

[faint flax]

should be but would grab soon before stuff in it splits

oh i don't think they wre in hibernation

[visual oasis]

because i dont remember any of the survivor notes mentioning reapers, i mean the ones from diana, or from meiyin or helena,

[faint flax]

think oversee realized they had it too easy and were starting to form cities etc so reapers etc hunted then exclusively

[ocean minnow]

I find it amazing that when they release a new map, new DLC, or anything new, they just forget about the old ones. To this day the valguero, ragnarok and scorched are crashing frequently and no one cares

[bold dock]

except they arent

[visual oasis]

wait, val has only been out two-three months, i though they fixed a lot of the map crashes there?

[bold dock]

game running crash free for me, idk what you... oh console player

[faint flax]

val only crashes for me cause of inventory bug

[visual oasis]

funny thing is, the main issues ive ever had was save file issues, and the occaisional crash to xbox home, but those crashes were always after like 7-10 hours of constant play for me, series x

[faint flax]

found mod that fixes it for most part atm

[bold dock]

the odd thing about Reapers is, why are they on Earth (extinction) before abberation crashes down?

Lost Colony made reaper, you heard it here first

[visual oasis]

the portal, i assume a few followed helena and the others through by accident, and just bred massively

[faint flax]

simple

they created obelisk and proto ones are on ext right?

[visual oasis]

dont forget, between helena and us, there is like several thousand years, she has been trying to clear the arks for a long time

there were official explorer notes on ase, from the one who waits, stating she had been trying to get the reseed protocol working for atleast a thousand years, so at any point the reapers could have gotten through that portal system and got to earth

[faint flax]

we know alot of created creatures were tested too so reapers along with rexes etc probably broke free and got infected with element

[visual oasis]

helena quite literally spent so long trying to get the ark respawn system and the reseed protocol working, that she has forgotten most of her memories from the arks, she stated in some notes from the one who waits that she couldnt remember much of anything of her time as a human on the arks, and until she built the respawn system, anyone who died on them wasnt coming back, even tho their engram codes were saved on the ark storage, they still were basically clones and not the same person respawning

[faint flax]

tis fun mystery tbh

[short turtle]

What exactly would change? Would the Drakelings and Elderclaws be sold separately, or would the bunker and everything else be sold as well?

[faint flax]

sold separately

[visual oasis]

the santiago at the end of genesis 2, has no memories of the arks or extinction, cause he isnt the same one who died there, he is a clone, but not from the respawn system

[faint flax]

dunno about tek bunker but think it stays with lc

[visual oasis]

so there is atleast, from helenas own words, a minimum of 200 years to probably more than a thousand, since she got to earth and us waking up on the island, if reapers got from abb to earth from the portal and started breeding then they would be spread out a lot,

[faint flax]

survivors prob brought them and some got corrupted probably

just had idea delta

[visual oasis]

dont forget we dont know how long the abb portal system was open for, after they came to earth, it could have been a couple minutes, could have been days and anything could have followed the survivors through, especially reapers that would be hunting humans

[faint flax]

what if people living in arat prime stole some creatures etc but lost em to element too

[visual oasis]

the arks most likely share creature data, as each was supposed to be a dna repository, so if the abb overseer made reapers, any ark could make reapers, including the proto arks on extinction surface, its canon that other arks like ragnarock have wyverns and scorched earth made them first as a punishment, so once made, all arks can probably create them, due to a dna repository

[faint flax]

we know element is at war with arat prime hence why takes us beating beta kt for the hivemind to realize we're the biggest threat atm or at least a serious second front to deal with so it instantly augments KT in armor if pure element

lore gonna get extra interesting soon

[visual oasis]

have you seen the list of all features comiing with lost colony, shits about to get insane lol, the list of features is on steam, check out raasclarks newest video from about an hour or two ago on youtube

[faint flax]

gonna be insane and fun

to quote kusco "bring it on"

[hidden adder]

The current pass includes three things:

• Lost Colony and all that is included there
• Fantastic Tames: Drakeling
• Fantastic Tames: Elderclaw

Post release of the actual LC map these three will be sold separately instead of being bundled under the expansion pass

[daring crown]

Does anyone wanna play with me ark asa 100 days beating the bosses?

[faint flax]

#1110949794907684965

[final karma]

Let me undestand, they copy paste conan exiles mechanics to this new expandion?

[faint flax]

other games use npcs etc iirc

[austere yew]

Some people are gonna find out sooner or later that other games also use WASD movement or left click to do things

[hidden adder]

Short answer: No.

Plenty of other games have thralls/NPCs do your bidding. Not even unique to Conan in the survival crafting genre

[misty turtle]

well not like only conan have thrall

[hidden adder]

If anything the system written for LC is a lot more complicated than CE. Looking forward to tomorrow when I can hopefully start playing

[peak fiber]

Anyone wanna Play ark on Hard Mode? I want to enjoy the Game and not to rush

[hidden adder]

#1110949794907684965

[wicked dragon]

Don’t tell Nintendo that

[unborn turret]

Boys i have a question

Can i tame a maugana and take it to ragnarok

From astreos to ragnarok

[teal cliff]

[unborn turret]

For real

[fair wyvern]

yeah

[hidden adder]

There are very few creatures you cannot transfer at all. The Titans are the only ones I can think of from the top of my head

Certain maps have specific restrictions though, like Ab not allowing fliers

[unborn turret]

Alright then i will buy astreos

Cause maewing is the best flier in my opinion

[faint flax]

prefer wyvern tbh

[elfin tide]

Lf 1 to 2 people to play arkpoc with dm me

[faint flax]

not as fast but still faster then others and less hassle

#1110949794907684965

[short turtle]

I have a question: is there a spawn error for the Ossidon and Carcha in local play? I've played all the maps and have encountered hundreds of Giganotos, but zero Carchas, and I've been searching for an Ossidon in Valguero for a while now and can't find one

[keen siren]

Is there a a way in single player to increase auto save interval?

[last sedge]

on PS5 no

[keen siren]

Dang, no console command?

[bleak stream]

Conquest wiping today?

[short turtle]

I just logged into Ragnarok and several Ossidons appeared, but none in Valguero, and the Carchas still haven't appeared on any map, only with commands

[unique topaz]

@bleak stream

ARK: Survival Evolved Conquest:

The ARK Conquest Discord can be found here: https://discord.gg/e25Pc2PysU

[misty turtle]

in single creatures can only load where ever you go also carcha share same spawn with giga so 5050

[fleet ermine]

Anyone knows any mod that is like the admin panel ?

[cinder smelt]

Is the time in the delay announcement based on your time zone?

[proven nest]

am I able to compress Ark Survival Ascended on my SSD?

[hidden adder]

Yes

[pine spade]

Cheat saveworld

Use it all the time for none dedication with a friend

And single player should have a save option in the pause menu to

[short turtle]

I just read that Ossidon and Veilwyn will stop spawning in The Centre, Ragnarok, and Valguero; it doesn't make much sense.

[small flicker]

anyone know why my skill tree quest of "loot 10 green supply drops" isnt working, im on astraeos if that changes anything

[hazy kiln]

🛠️ We need a little extra time to get everything ready, so launch is shifting to <t:1766116800:t> on <t:1766116800:D> on all platforms.

[faint lance]

Its normal that foundations on raft are bugged and when u walk u sink in them?

[wintry fox]

probably yes, desirable no, since it would mean the read/write access is slower

[safe coral]

aye any of yall seeing a subtle smokey outline around ur character?

[hazy kiln]

Which time zone is this time in?

🛠️ We need a little extra time to get everything ready, so launch is shifting to <t:1766116800:t> on <t:1766116800:D> on all platforms.

[wintry fox]

there are no "green" drops on astreos

[small flicker]

say what

[fair wyvern]

shows in your local timezone

[hidden adder]

Why not? They are meant to be exclusive tames of Lost Colony, but WC decided to have them be temporarily available on other maps ahead of time (to help build hype)

[wintry fox]

the green ones on astreos are special ones, not the green ones for the supply drops like on other maps

[hidden adder]

Well, mainly to incentivize buying the expansion pass, but also hype

[hazy kiln]

@fair wyvernSo there are still 13 hours left until the new map is released?

[fair wyvern]

roughly yeah

[hazy kiln]

okok ty

[short turtle]

Yeah, but adding it and then removing it is weird, especially since they still spawn in Ragnarok. I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just hard to understand.

[cloud holly]

I assume this isnt official as not seen any announcements?

[misty turtle]

what part is hard to understand

[fair wyvern]

#announcements message

[misty turtle]

they just a temporary spawn will gone when lc come out tomorrow

does a giant skull head monkey in rag sound normal

[cloud holly]

Ahh thanks, missed that

[wintry fox]

they should not spawn on any other map then LC, not even ragnarok, and ofcourse, it's just a teaser to get ppl to buy LC

[hidden adder]

It was stated they were temporary on the patch notes that added them. As said, it was a method to drive people into buying the pass essentially

"Here is a cool creature, but to get it you need to buy this thing" strategy

[short turtle]

So is it a game bug?

[wintry fox]

what is a game bug? the LC map isn't out yet, so they still spawn?

[ember nymph]

If you ever see a time and date in discord and it has a different background box around said time then it’s in your Timezone

[fair wyvern]

nah. they just wanted to let people get access to them early but they’ll be removed from other maps once the map they’re meant for releases

[faint flax]

for those who remember it from ase the ossidon got the teaser treatment tropeognathus got

[short turtle]

So it doesn't spawn in Valguero because of another bug? Because in Ragnarok, I got a lot of them in just a few seconds.

[fair wyvern]

spawned fine for me on valguero, don’t know why you wouldn’t find any

[candid scaffold]

I have found many of them on valguro personally

[short turtle]

I don't know about other days; I'm trying to get one today and I assumed they weren't spawning because of the release of LC, but since they kept spawning in Ragnarok, I'm confused.

[errant cloak]

lost colony delayed told you so xD

[misty turtle]

dude you really need to check #announcements if it possible for all the news

[languid ridge]

to be honest would have been a surprise if not

[agile wave]

when it said 11pm is the est pst....?

[grim coral]

Yes it shows Your time it will release. That is the est time. If you were pst it would say 8

[agile wave]

oh ok thanks

[main cypress]

I think the mods might be bugged for me on ps5 it says uninstall the old mods to make more storage when really I don’t have any browse mods cause I only got the game back yesterday

I have no installed mods

[unreal ermine]

i noticed the roadmap, do you guys think Ark Atlantis will be its own thing or just the prenium mod as a dlc like astraeos?

[faint flax]

inb4 it just ark aquatica remade into asa 😓

[grim coral]

It will be paid stansalone. The roadmap shows only paid content nothing thst is included base game. Only it will be made by wc and not someome else

[thorny sandal]

who'se ready for glooon

[grim coral]

Nah it will be a proper map. People had asked for it long ago. Why beyond me. But at least it wont be a disaster as bad as aquatica was

[faint flax]

personally would be more interested in sunken world

[mint lodge]

Okay, I live in EST. When will the DLC be live?

[fair wyvern]

time is pinned in this channel

[faint flax]

bored so wanna test something

test <t:1766071800>

oh hey it worked

i've figured out unix timestamps better now so whoohoo 😅

[tight tulip]

Called it months ago when they announced the 16th. In the entire history of Ark they've never once released a map on time. If they say X-day, just add 3 more and you'll be close

[neat scroll]

Lost colony released today?

[faint flax]

well given the flurry of activity on LC which prob from devs working on stuff for trailer and final touches etc pretty close

[faint flax]

time in pins up top

[elfin orbit]

<t:1766116800:R> ARK Lost Colonys Epic Story DLC will be released world wide, so keep those cheeks ready!

[neat scroll]

Ok

[unreal ermine]

could be the next Atlas possibly if they add ships and proper sea waves. Honestly i would wish for that kind of thing although i cant see them doing something of that scale as a dlc

[lime tusk]

When crafting saddles, does crafting skill impact anything? I've got 97 levels in crafting skill (vanilla with sprinkles crafting tonic) and my saddles are coming out normally as if I had 0 levels in crafting skill

[molten granite]

Crafting skill only affects Blueprints

[lime tusk]

That explains it, thank you!

[soft lake]

does anyone have a server recommendation private slightly boosted at most no speed lvling ? some mods would be nice

german or english is fine

[soft lake]

people either have a second character or use a mindwipe to craft stuff not worth to skill it for regular play

its like all in or nothing

[haughty schooner]

I got one

I’ll dm you the link

[lost knoll]

we still on track for today? what time 😄

[lime tusk]

You're right, I'm using the Vanilla with Sprinkles mod which includes a crafting tonic. Temporarily putting all levels into crafting before putting back to what you originally had. It works great

[grim coral]

They really been upping their game when it comes to dlcs. You actually getting bang for buck imo. I would love to see atlas themed . Thst game had so much potential even if it was essentially a reskin of ark

[fair wyvern]

time is pinned in this channel

[celest vale]

Typical ark devs lol we have to put it back to make sure all works lol your game is broke you guys are the worst nothing ever goes well for this community absolutely pathetic if it weren’t for the friends I have in this game I would delete probs the same for most official player sad that this always happens

[lost knoll]

❤️ GL FOR RELEASE

[soft lake]

did they delay it already

[unreal ermine]

to this day i keep checking both that and pixark. But atlas' content would go so hard inside of Ark. Imagine the potential of sea battles in ascended with the graphics and all that

[covert portal]

We need a little extra time to get everything ready, so launch is shifting to 01:00 on 19 de dezembro de 2025 on all platforms.

[soft lake]

like 5 times?

[brazen flint]

🫡

[lime glade]

Just downloaded the new ark after not playing in a few years since the old one anyone got any advice or if they could come show me the ropes it would be a great help

[steady skiff]

How to fix you do not own this map would you like to obtain it? I’ve deleted and redownloaded aberration 5 times and it still says that when I try to join

[latent frigate]

Ok.... I have a question...

How can a game save still exist on Single Player Valguero (PS5), when:

All player saves have been "deleted".
The Valguero map has been uninstalled.
All the save game data for ASA has been deleted from the PS5.
All PSN cloud game saves have been deleted.
The PS5 has been rebooted.
Valguero map has been re-downloaded and installed.
There are no in game backup saves.
but....
Instead of starting afresh... The old save is STILL THERE!?!?!?!?

[faint flax]

weird

[bleak stream]

Conquest wipe today ?

[wraith bolt]

LOST COLONY TODAYYYYY!!!!!

[stable comet]

Some dont like lost colony by the looks of things, personally i prefer more lost colony than old ark

[unique topaz]

@bleak stream

ARK: Survival Evolved Conquest:

The ARK Conquest Discord can be found here: https://discord.gg/e25Pc2PysU

[wraith bolt]

Idc I’ve been waiting for this since last December

[stable comet]

Lost colony was always being my type of game not old ark very much that's why im interested in that one there is stuff in it that is more interesting to me old ark lack a lot of things

[brave pebble]

I'm hyped for Genesis 1, if it's going to have updated assets from Atlas. My wife and I absolutely loved Atlas! I've got over 2000 hours in it, before the servers went dark.

[wraith bolt]

ASA has always been better in my opinion, I’ve never been to big on pvp and I love arks lore

[steady skiff]

How to fix you do not own this map would you like to obtain it? I’ve deleted and redownloaded aberration 5 times and it still says that when I try to join

[stable comet]

Me too im not much pvp i want more pve things thats what is lacking about old ark

[wraith bolt]

Genuinely, and even though it cost money I’m glad we got bobs tall tales cause it adds a lot for both types of players

[exotic atlas]

The new dlc at least seems like it’s trying to work with both which is good since they ruined the last few maps for PvP

Like look what they did to oil cave man

[deft urchin]

Haven't been keeeping up with it, but with the impending launch of Lost Colony, do we know how transfers on unofficial will work? going from simulation -> real planet, etc?

[gentle crater]

Same as going from any of the other arks

Extinction was on earth, so technically were already on earth

Story wise

[hidden adder]

Yeah, in story it goes ARK (TI) -> ARK (SE) -> Fucked up ARK (Ab) -> Earth (Ext) -> Earth (LC)

Dunno yet if they will make another story map set before Gen, but I doubt it, in which case the next two are both Genesis Ship (Simulation -> out of simulation). And then that Legacy of Santiago one set post Gen 2

[lusty dock]

fellas where is the winter wonderland event

on the official servers

[fair wyvern]

news about event will be in the community crunch tomorrow

[lusty dock]

i thought it used to start earlier in the month

[fair wyvern]

last year it started on 23rd

[hidden adder]

And in 2023 it started Dec 21st. Both these dates are later than now

[lusty dock]

oh interesting. my last event was in Evolved, i could have sworn they started sooner. thanks though

[potent portal]

so for me 11 hours till release, im east coast U.S.

11pm Est

[dim ember]

guys my aberration infested with raptors is it ok?

[carmine monolith]

how will veilwyn be transferable to Lost colony? as companion or uploaded to it?

[slate widget]

upload it. as a creature, no cryopod

[carmine monolith]

wont let me for some reason..says it was uploaded recently ..and it wasnt xD

[slate widget]

gotta exist for 12 hours on officials. leave it uncryo'd

[soft lake]

does anyone have a server recommendation private slightly boosted at most no speed lvling ? some mods would be nice

[safe fossil]

I knew the lost colony said Gigadesmodus and not desperus I need my giant flying dino

[mossy echo]

giga what now...?

[safe fossil]

@mossy echo New dinos coming with Lost Colony the Desmodus which was a flying bat creature they changed how it looks and made a Gigadesmodus which is is giant flying demon looking bat person of sorts and you can build on its back supposedly

[mortal yacht]

Build on a flyer back that give better quetzal vibe

[unique agate]

anyone elses server just die?

[mortal yacht]

(I know that we can also build on ||desert titan||)

[mortal yacht]

Idk

[ashen meteor]

how mutch time untill lost colony?

[drowsy sundial]

Can you transfer veilwyn in a cryo or upload it ?

[mortal yacht]

Lost colony, ASA’s first canon expansion map, is due to release <t:1766116800:f>, this will be <t:1766116800:R> +/- dependent on any extra delays.

(This automatically converts to your own timezone.)

• To keep track of any information regarding the ‘Lost Colony’ release, make sure to follow @Survivetheark on Twitter and/or follow #announcements and #status-updates.

• Lost colony will allow non-mutated Veilwyns to be transferred on day one.

• As stated by both @teal cliff & @last sedge, anyone on official needs to release any Veilwyns they plan to transfer out of their cryopods prior to 12 hours before (which is roughly <t:1766073600:R>)

• You will need to upload these into the ARK DATA for them to be transferable. No items (like cryopods) are transferable so that will not work.

• If you plan on transferring your already existing survivor on day one, please ensure you do not have an items on your, as well as removing your companion.

(This may cause issues for you, so it’s best to be safe.)

[mortal yacht]

Idk

[safe fossil]

@mossy echo This is from the steam store page:

Gigadesmodus: The true king of the chiropteran skies. This colossus serves as a flying fortress, capable of hauling behemoths or a mobile command center on its back. It dominates the battlefield by raining down Red Element-infused blood to decimate foes from afar, or delivering a devastating tail execution to anyone foolish enough to challenge its reign.

[mortal yacht]

Is it an desert titan but quicker (and also with less hp)

[safe fossil]

I'm totally good with it I'm excited especially if it can pick up dinos line the Rhynio can

[silent matrix]

Guys, when a new map come, in Arkpoc you can transfer your stuff day one or only character like a new start ?

[mortal yacht]

Look up

[mortal yacht]

To this @silent matrix

[silent matrix]

Yeah I see, but sometime Arkpoc have different rules

That why a asked

So whenever I or anyone else goes to do the swamp cave on the Island on official PVE shortly after entering the cave theres a pond full of like 10,000 leeches, it crashes the game and the server, the server restarts itself but everytime you try to log in it destroys server ping again and crashes it, so everytime I attempt this cave this happens. Is every cave like this? I thought this game was a remaster but I dont remember this ever being an issue on ark survival evolved, so not only did they not fix the original issues but theyve made more? The cave is an integral part of the game, the games been out years already and I cant even complete probably the first essential cave due to lag?! Im on an Xbox x
One X so the more capable Xbox and my Xbox can barely handle it but its the server that crashes not my Xbox, so youre running a game that even the servers cant handle.

Is this a known issue? Seems a super simple fix but seems to of been going since I started a month ago. Do they plan on fixing this? Like i say seems like it should be a 5 minute fix. Do the dev team/admins care as little as they do with survival evolved im guessing. Unplayable remastered game 😂

[silk totem]

just comeing back from a break. was wondering winter wonderland mod does not work anymore no more raptor clause is there a reason for it or a different mod?

[spare citrus]

It’s coming out they said their will be news in the Friday crunch

[kindred spoke]

I have all the dlc maps installed on my Xbox but on singleplayer it keeps saying I need to install the maps and takes me to the system settings page showing them already being installed

[latent ginkgo]

Why 12 hours before lol

I just hopped on to tame a few before launch becuase I feel like I will be at a disadvantage but like what

[mellow hare]

Yeah, I can host one for a low donation of the cost of the game

[hidden adder]

Winder Wonderland works just fine

I have it enabled myself, Raptor Claus comes around leaving presents every midnight

Officials will get the event in a couple of days probably, but for everyone else it is up to them (or server admins) on when/if to enable it

[soft lake]

that was a good joke

i actually have my own private cluster running on my work pc

[hidden adder]

[silent matrix]

@dusty pecan are you on xbox? So it happens to everyone who goes in there on our server. Even if you arent in there you will lag hard and server goes to 1100 ping and crashes for everyone

Its an official PVE server im on and its due to the leeches, when you get to the first pond theres literally over 1000 of them and it forces the server to crash

[dusty pecan]

Not on console, im on pc. Im on official pve and already did island caves + ascension. No issues at all

Maybe its that server specifically

[silent matrix]

@dusty pecan it seems it does it 50% of the time, sometimes you can manage to go slow and kill the leeches and then the lag goes away, other times it just repeatedly crashes the server. Id consider moving maybe but dont know if its server specific yet

I dont think its to do with Xbox because like I say it happens even if you arent the one to go in there

[dusty pecan]

Im on 5280, did everything with no issues. If it comes down to it it might be better to switch servers and try

[ancient ridge]

Lost Colony will not be included in the promotion?

[sterile ermine]

Yall ready to have an army of Thralls?

[ancient ridge]

Lost Colony will not be included in the promotion?

[round ginkgo]

Has there been any news on what type of map Lost Colony will be with regards to play style? Eg will it be a "normal" map or one with a bit more of a weird gimick like Genesis?

[fair wyvern]

lost colony is not gonna be discounted

[round ginkgo]

My group is starting a private PvE world with like 5 of us and we're wondering if we should to Astraeos or Lost colony

[soft lake]

i do hope they fix single player lol cant switch arks currently

[dusky flint]

does someone know how to fix my game crashin everytime I try to switch ny graphics presets from lowest

[soft lake]

get a better gpu

[dusky flint]

I can run high settings fine

[soft lake]

appearently not

[dusky flint]

I just cant switch back

[soft lake]

smelling nvidia issues here

[dusky flint]

yeah I have a nvidia gpu

[open marsh]

Its delayed

[dark halo]

Delayed again or in 9h still

[hidden adder]

Probably referring to the last delay

So still 9h left for now

[winter yacht]

i havent played asa in a while but last time i played single player was very annoying because some dinos just wouldent spawn like i spent hours just trying to find a doedic i was wondering if they fixed that or if theres a mod i can fix that with

[fair wyvern]

9hrs

[mellow hare]

but then why do u want a server?

[hidden adder]

For steam you can use the launch parameter "-preventhibernation" to help, but SP (both ASE and ASA) have things spawn only around the player, generally to keep the computer load down and give you better performance.

[winter yacht]

so whe ni get into the game i use that preventhibernation as a command?

[hidden adder]

Know some people enable fly when they first log in, fly around the map quickly, and then disable it again just to have things spawn in. Only needed after a dinowipe really

[ancient ridge]

Is there a chance it could have a promotion in the future?

[fair wyvern]

of course

[hidden adder]

steam launch parameters, so before you even launch the game

RMB on ASA in your steam library -> Properties -> General tab of the window that pops up -> add "-preventhibernation" to the bar at the bottom (without the quotation marks)

[winter yacht]

ok thank you

@dusty pecan thanks for your input, might have to try another server 😬🫩🫡

[flint glen]

ive played ark since it came out, idk why all of a sudden i think they wouldnt give it a half day delay hours before release

[edgy fog]

Go read the steam page for Lost Colony. Sounds much more structured with NPCs and cutscenes and mission goals. If you want more classic sandbox I would start on Astraeos, especially since it might be a week before Lost Colony is patched

[tough shale]

When's it coming out in est

[hidden adder]

Plot twist: They already give us a delayed time, but they still get delayed

[slate widget]

pinned is in your timezone.

[flint glen]

lost island on evolved is the literal only thing i think they have ever released on time

[slate widget]

scorched since it was a surprise release in ASE. also lost was delayed for consoles lol

[flint glen]

i wouldnt count scorched, was probably delayed internally like 5 times

[knotty rain]

so when is lost colony releasing>>

[subtle latch]

Is there serv offi lost colony, where is no transfert from other map, because i want to start like everyone at 0 ?

[flint glen]

7 and a half hrs i think

[knotty rain]

[fleet copper]

where did t he say that? i thought it was 12pm pst

[flint glen]

[fleet copper]

that doesnt give timezone, or will it just be 11 pm every timezone?

11 pm EST

[flint glen]

oh cool didnt know that ty

[burnt hatch]

Is it true that tons of mods are going to break becauae its a major update, and the mod authors don't yet have access to the dev kit? XD

im thinking of putting up a unoffical server cluster for actual ark players the og ones when the game was about real pvp and dinos not tech bs it would prob be 6 man 10x

would people be interested in it

[mortal yacht]

The creature should be in other map

[chilly pecan]

Okay ty bro

[last sedge]

#general message

[chilly pecan]

Is it going to be delayed

[last sedge]

let's hope not

[chilly pecan]

Do you think we would have already been informed if it had been delayed again? I’m waiting for this map impatiently

[hidden adder]

become patient then. Latest news is what is in accouncements, as per usual

[lofty scroll]

Me too I bought the expansion pass when it was announced

[last sedge]

i'm in the same boat

[weary sandal]

If note IF there was a delay now you'd be talking a few hours. From past content drops were past the stage of major delays.

You watch me eat my words.

[grave pine]

They even announced at a shareholder event the other day it was coming out. They did say 11pm which seems the latest it has been dropped for a new expansion thus far too.

[weary sandal]

They said 8pm PST didn't they?

[grave pine]

11pm in the announcement channel here

Maybe that’s EST.

[chilly pecan]

Today 11 pm?

[weary sandal]

Mine says 4am cause I'm UK. So guessing your EST which is your time zone

[royal cypress]

11 est

[chilly pecan]

Im eu me french

[flint socket]

Was it ever mentioned how big the new map will be in terms of actual land size compared to the other maps?

[azure basin]

Are you planning to make a discount for Lost Colony after its release?

[forest sage]

If you check #announcements , it'll tell you in your time.

[chilly pecan]

Okay ty

[hidden adder]

LC will certainly get discounted at some point after the release

It might get a winter discount, more likely easter, most likely summer and onward

[weary sandal]

Anyone want to speculate on the Cryolophosaurus taming method, if it will be the same as before?

[last sedge]

prob

[candid scaffold]

I even saw it before I bought it

[last sedge]

it will, but not any time soon,
it took BTT 5months to get it

In Spain, it's 4 AM, I don't think I'll be online.

[analog briar]

is this still happening 🙂

[hidden adder]

Get to sleep past the hotfix

[wraith locust]

No it’s been fixed.

[grim coral]

Probably in six months

[last sedge]

hi neighbour, 🇵🇹 , same for me

[short turtle]

That's great, we're in the same time zone (I'm from the Canary Islands) so it's actually 3 AM

[next mason]

Has their already been a delay for lost colony or is this first release date?

[last sedge]

like the third one

[grand comet]

Yeah it has been delayed before.
Almost every single major DLC update on Ark has seen a delay. Aside from I believe 2, though i can't remember which 2 those were. Lost island & Fjordur i think

[next mason]

Sounds like it might actually release then

[grand comet]

I wouldn't hold you breath it's very possible we'll see another delay of a few hours before launch.
At least the positive at this stage being that it's highly unlikely you'll see big delays like days-weeks in size. Probably will be hour delays type deal.

[potent portal]

we are down to about 6 hrs till release 🙂

[quick dove]

@quick dove cadê os brasileiros caralho

[fluid ledge]

never underestimate the ability of wildcard to delay at the last minute. but not hearing anything this late is typically a sign of a few hour delay vs days, so thats good.

[tired elm]

The dlc comes out in 6 hours?? 11pm release time is crazy

[bronze rune]

They have never drop anything on time just take a nap lolol

[full axle]

8 PM PST time - so not so late for them.

[rapid trellis]

Why there so many cheaters on ark? Does wildcard not have an anti cheat?

Does roblox have better retaliation for hackers than ark?

[glacial bay]

Eh. It's still coming out at the end of their shifts.

[full axle]

The joy of releasing software. Always at weird out of "shift" times.

[glacial bay]

Truth.

Not again

[glossy star]

What creature stats do yall recommend having for alpha island bosses? I’m planning on using theris for the dragon and rexes for the other bosses

[glass igloo]

man i whish we had a good collab for ark for once...

[hidden adder]

Rex or theri for everything is just fine

[grand comet]

We've only got two collabs so far but sure

[glass igloo]

and both suck

[hidden adder]

one more collab has been teased, to come early next year and be "a better fit for ARK" (not worded exactly like that, but close enough)

[glass igloo]

i sure hope its not cosmetic sp crap again

[grand comet]

Other than cosmetics what would you be expecting

[glass igloo]

maybe creatures

[glossy star]

What should my base health and melee be (roughly)? I’m gonna use high quality saddles and courage roar to buff with full imprint

[molten grail]

Wildcard is the most unprofessional company I know. If you can't even keep your own schedules, then just quit. Unbelievable.

[dawn patio]

When’s Lost colony realise date

[potent portal]

5 hrs

[glass igloo]

they could easily give use something we can use even on offi

[grand comet]

I don't think that's ever gonna happen tbf. Creature skins absolutely, straight new dinos outside of Modded dinos coming to the base game, I doubt you'll see collabs do much else.

[glass igloo]

never say never

i would have a collab in mind for which i would pay even if its expensive

[grand comet]

Personally I don't care for collabs but, I do kinda take unfortunate issue to the Bob Tall Tales content etc, and not even the content itself, more the actual style of the new items, structures etc. Not overly fond of it. Wish it all kept with the standard flow of design principle, then they could just give custom skins for them if they wanted. Like the Steam Forge, actually being a Tek tiered-style structure instead of the steam punk stuff

[glass igloo]

i like it

[supple notch]

It does allow for more creativity and opportunity for building

[grand comet]

I prefer the Primitive Style, Modern Style, Tek Style as the 3 main strict tiers for stylistic choice. It honestly would make those packs feel more blended with the game than each of them having different styles that don't match the core game style

[glass igloo]

but i dont like that wc is contradicting itself

one one side they tell people for the creature votes to only do real world stuff and say they only wanna release real world things and then bam they bring a whole fantasy canon story map out

[supple notch]

I find it hard to make a half decent base with the same 4 materials on every map

Always turns out samey and boring, then again i suck at building so

[grand comet]

With the creature votes their angle was to have the community pick the OG creatures in need the most of love.

[glass igloo]

i mean the vote for new stuff for every map

not tlc

[grand comet]

Oh, yeah. I suppose they want to generally keep to the theme of the map and/or think the map could do with a more real world style creature over a fantasy one

But I mean theres still lots of fantasy though, the Stick bug keeps popping up and it's literally a giant stick bug, thats imply is not a real thing

[supple notch]

Dread is a godzilla sauropod

[grand comet]

But I dont think any tame in Ark is meant to be accurate to real world history

[glass igloo]

still something that existed just not that way

[grand comet]

I do like that they do try to have restrictions on it, seeing fantasy elements and fantasy creature sin general is nice but having a flow of closer to real life dinos too is more cool IMO

[last jewel]

Anyone know when lost colony is out

[hidden adder]

looks at expansion #1 - tameable wyverns

[grand comet]

Try the #announcements

[hidden adder]

or look in pinned

[potent portal]

about 6 hrs from now

[hidden adder]

Closer to 4.5 now actually

We're closing in fast

[glass igloo]

anyways i would die on the spot for a mh collab
it would just fit perfectly

but it prob never happens...

[grand comet]

Monster Hunter? 😭

[potent portal]

my announcment said 11pm for me which is in 5 hrs

[glass igloo]

ya

imagine taming and flying a freaky rathalos or something

[potent portal]

im looking forward to the NPC's and building an NPC army

[hidden adder]

To just copy paste the pinned comment - Lost colony, ASA’s first canon expansion map, is due to release <t:1766116800:f>, this will be <t:1766116800:R> +/- dependent on any extra delays.

(This automatically converts to your own timezone.)

[glass igloo]

mh does collabs we know that

[grand comet]

I'd rather they do a Palworld collab that way I can raid a base with a large anime Pikachu Mikachu. Big time immersion

[potent portal]

it is right now 6:26pm so 11 pm is in 5 hrs

[glass igloo]

i wanna enslave my monkeys further then

on the tek transmitter they go

i just wanna breed nargacugas 🙁

oh that sounds vers wrong XD

very

[hidden adder]

Nah we good, in this server there is automatic context

Just like how we're free to talk about how important it is too get good sources of CP

[grand comet]

seen that video before, it was alright but could've done with being 1 minute longer

wait what

[glass igloo]

XD

[potent portal]

@hidden adder Not sure what that announcement says for you but what you posted still says 11pm for me

[glass igloo]

@heavy cedar monster hunter collab coming when?

we all want to breed nargacugas

[fresh fossil]

Does anyone know where i can find offi server settings?

[potent portal]

Excuse me !!!!!! ???

[hidden adder]

pretty much everything 1x, or you mean something else?

[potent portal]

bro you need to chill out

[fresh fossil]

I'm a bit unsure bc i tried to copy my SP hard settings and i'm unsure if these should the same as server settings

[potent portal]

have you ever whatched Battlestar galactica ???

ok remember that

we have better ways to kuss someone out or use those words for other ways 🙂

I know

relax

cant wait to see the new skill tree

[hidden adder]

Looking forward to an overhaul of that whole part of the UI as well, hopefully.

[potent portal]

so many new things coming with this update

will take a few days maybe weeks to learn it

also looking forward to the exploration of this new area

seeing how long it will take to get a foot hold on this map, build a base

[glass igloo]

Its still ark
So prob pretty fast

Map will be full of pillars in an hour either way

[potent portal]

they said this is a hard mode map

so will it be like other maps ??

will there be easy areas or start off with med to hard areas

they said this map is Not for beginners

[glass igloo]

I pretty confident about that

[potent portal]

we will see in about 4hrs 10 mins

[glass igloo]

Asa and hard in one sentence is not possible
They been nerfing the game so easy for the casuals

[shy meteor]

I think they meant its just more difficult in general. I doubt they would make the entire map unreasonably dangerous

[keen birch]

prob around the same as abb or a little harder

[potent portal]

im looking at No Easy areas just med to hard

[glass igloo]

I could count so many things they made the game cakewalk with

[shy meteor]

Whats the main one?

[honest sparrow]

When will the next event be or official?

[shy mauve]

i need a tribe, people to play with

am i in the right place

[potent portal]

oh I wonder will there be supply drops of just the supply depots we have to fight to get access to ???

[keen birch]

ffs there is a recruitment thread if you scroll down

[glass igloo]

1.deleted abb raptor jump ability

2.deleted generator damage overtime from scorched

3.reduced sandstorm duration

4.gave dinos higher base points compared to ase

5.traits exis

6.nerfed king titan (you can do it as solo tribe now)

[keen birch]

sorry the ffs was not at you, bot deleted the link to it...

[potent portal]

the one thing they did i hated was damage over time for wind turbines

that was free energy now it cost alot to maintain

[shy meteor]

Honestly, none of these (except the king titan ofc, hes weak now) are really too big of an issue. And I also didn't realize they removed the ab raptor jump

[bleak zinc]

I called it yesterday and no one believed me and I got it right. I feel another delay coming.

[glass igloo]

7. tek gen has wider range and consumes less ele

8. Tek repli doesnt need ele in inventory to function anymore

[glass igloo]

Still makes the game 100times easier

[shy meteor]

Not really. The game still has all of its challenges, you just have a but more qol

[glass igloo]

9.wyvern trench on scorched has way less wyvern

[shy meteor]

But i do with they didn't nerf king titan, i agree on that

[hidden adder]

King Titan was really only about how many gigas you could amass

[shy meteor]

Okay that one is fair

[glass igloo]

Not really

[hidden adder]

And the rest of the game is mostly the same. Generally better stats due to removal of wild speed points, but not enough to really shift the needle

[glass igloo]

Its gotten to easy

[shy meteor]

Yeah, i actually kinda like that you don't need to spend 3000 years breeding gigas. But i wish that you still needed a grind

[hidden adder]

Some simple QoL is not "easy", it is "less tedious". Two very different things

[zealous cloak]

December 19th 12:00 is December 19th noon right? I really wish they would be clear. Why are you all assuming December 19th 00:00 (midnight)?

[hidden adder]

So yeah King Titan nerf is the only real one

[shy meteor]

I don't really think so. You just got better. Also how does qol make the game easy? Its just more fun

[hidden adder]

Timezones, look in pinned/announcements for exact time for you

[glass igloo]

Qol is nice but it shouldnt take away everything

[hidden adder]

And it doesn't

Just removes or lessens the tedious parts

Same with Dedi remote crafting. Gone is the chore of moving resources back and forth bit by bit

[glass igloo]

Oh also the unnessecary basilisk nerf i forgot abt that

They needed a buff not a nerf lol

[shy meteor]

Okay fair enough there, but thats such a small thing to focus on

[glass igloo]

That ones amazing

[glass igloo]

Not if you were about to breed them...

[hidden adder]

Breedable now, so overall buffed imo

[shy meteor]

Doesn't that contradict what you said about tames being too strong and stat point being too high

[hidden adder]

But yeah they are rather weak unless bred now

[glass igloo]

What is it now 35 base dmg per 100%
For a huge freaky snake that is difficult to tame

I think it was 35

[cunning solar]

any updates on the release time? I saw the announcements but that was yesterday

[hidden adder]

oh right there was a nerf this year. Didn't play around then, so missed it

[shy meteor]

It should still be coming 8pm pt

[hidden adder]

#announcements still has the latest info

Its like fighting a dragon but instead of getting grilled by its fire you just get a little tan from it

Its not biting you its nibbling on your finger

[shy meteor]

Considering i only see basilisks start game and they magically disappear once i get any strong tame. I don't think they're that weak lol

Also they made the asa surface wayyy harder than ase

[open marsh]

4 hrs

[glass igloo]

I think its the same

I see no difference

Ab in general i see no difference than ase
Except the nerfed raptor and basilisk

[shy meteor]

Definitely higher spawns for me. They also removed the easy metal for start game players that you could get from the easy surface entrance

[glass igloo]

But the trench is way more deadly

[glass igloo]

Its still there i farmed it at the beginning when it came out

[shy meteor]

Don't you need a gas mask now??

[glass igloo]

Was always like that

[shy meteor]

Nope

[glass igloo]

Ab is my main map

[shy meteor]

Definitely not always like that

[glass igloo]

There were always spores at the entrance

[shy meteor]

You sure? I might remember it wrong then

[glass igloo]

I put both hands in fire for that

Im super sure

[shy meteor]

I do definitely remember watching people for the first time play asa ab and have the same reaction as me to them

Like syntax, and og players

[glass igloo]

Ab was not well visited at all
Its no wonder nobody remembers XD

[shy meteor]

Alr, I'll trust your word on that

[glass igloo]

Last 3 ase years the max players on ab were 4 at a time XD

[shy meteor]

But as a Ab main, what do you think of asa ab?

[slate widget]

it depends on which surface you go to. the one near fertile has always had spores.
the one near portal doesn't.

[glass igloo]

Beautiful
Perfection

[slate widget]

*those might actually be the same surface, just different exits * I don't actually know

[shy meteor]

Yeah thats what i thought, i might of confused him by saying the easy entrance

[glass igloo]

Imo easy entrance is fertile lake

But you mean portal prob

[shy meteor]

Ohh ok, that makes sense then

[glass igloo]

Portal has no spores

[slate widget]

I feel most are the same amount of easy.

I shouldn't be talking tho, I only go to surface after rock drakes 😂

or a karkinos for mining

[wet bloom]

Does anybody know if the update is out now? Or was it delayed again?

[slate widget]

its pinned.

[shy meteor]

Hot take, but the yi ling is the best added creature and i will die on that hill

[glass igloo]

No person goes there without drake
Its suicide

[hidden adder]

I am there with you. I love Yi Lings

[glass igloo]

Reaper gangbang isnt funny

[slate widget]

I like the creature but its an annoying tame. I didn't know about the easy trap you can make tho

[hidden adder]

Not the strongest by far, but so damn fun to use

[slate widget]

you can use a zeppling or yi ling. even cosmo

[hidden adder]

Who needs a trap when it's easier without one smh

[glass igloo]

I have personal beef with them

[shy meteor]

How, their such loveable guys

[glass igloo]

One time you wanna tame stuff and these asses just circle around giving you headshots and refuse to land

[shy meteor]

Well they're supposed to give you headshots

[dawn swift]

you can go with a maeguana as well

[shy meteor]

Or a yi ling

[glass igloo]

Im not crazy enough for that

[brisk smelt]

Does lost colony come out tomorrow?

[slate widget]

depends on your timezone.

its pinned

[keen birch]

the drakes wall climbing helps alot

[brisk smelt]

In which chat?

[shy meteor]

Announcements

[brisk smelt]

Thx

[slate widget]

this one, #general. second to last message in #announcements

[glass igloo]

I find the trench brutal even with a drake and a 124 saddle

1 dash can just insta kill you

Bam 10k hp gone

[ivory vortex]

think it will actually release tomorrow?

[brisk smelt]

Oh so come out tonight

[keen birch]

i think its easier to get in and out with a cosmo but doesn't work for farming more than 1

[shy meteor]

I usually just take a bunch of those big wanna be t-rexes that sleep on the other maps and i don't remember the name of

[brisk smelt]

Is conquest wiping too then?

[glass igloo]

As living shields? XD

[echo mountain]

We talking about the rock drake trench?

[glass igloo]

Ya

[shy meteor]

Ye

[echo mountain]

How are yall dying in there with a capped saddle

I dont lose health with a prim

[ivory vortex]

4 hours so i'll wake up to it, nice

[glass igloo]

Would be even scarier if half the drakes wouldnt be in the mesh

[shy meteor]

He might have boosted spawns. I have mine at times 3

[glass igloo]

Getting dashed at

The hit doesnt count as one but as multiple hits for some reason

[echo mountain]

When it lags out yeah it can

[glass igloo]

It always lags

Its ark

Specially on offi

[echo mountain]

Still tho, not sure how youre getting ganged up by 20 or 30 dashes before you can just glide or dash yourself

[shy meteor]

Rq, do yall have any ideas on how to stick to a save for longer? For the last 5 playthroughs i dont even beat all the guardians and just peace out and delete the save

[glass igloo]

I happens way to fast
