ark-survival-ascended

[tawdry birch]

which is?

[fading ice]

what?

[still estuary]

in other games the can do smal updates , here in this game if just few smal patches its the full map where its located that get reinstalled, and that a bad thing ...

[tawdry birch]

like is unofficial crossplatform?

[fading ice]

depends on the server, some are pc-only. most will be crossplatform

non-dedi just relies on having a shared platform to handle the invites and p2p connection

[astral fractal]

Is there a setting I can change to make my pets lay unfertilised eggs faster on Xbox and if so what do I need to put it on to lay every 3-5mins

[wanton anchor]

does anyone wanna beat all the maps on a pve cluster? just looking for a couple of buddies to chill and have fun with

[red bobcat]

That's the Ark community for ya. It's full of entitled people, (I fall into that category too sometimes) no one's perfect.

[still estuary]

and think carch also have problim, yesterday when got a carch awsome spyglas say 48 in HP ,40 in Damage and when i upgrade i get barely points only 2 points ...

[tawdry birch]

but non-dedicated are not crossplatform?

[red bobcat]

I'm confused by this question. What do you mean you only received 2 points? 2 points in both melee and health, or 2 points to spend because you didn't level it up, yet?

[astral fractal]

Is there a setting I can change to make my pets lay unfertilised eggs faster on Xbox and if so what do I need to put it on to lay every 3-5mins

[astral fractal]

Please answer someone it’s ruining my modded progression

[wintry jolt]

TBH I would not recommend non-dedicated. Play on a dedicated Server if you can...

[tawdry birch]

how?

do i make one

[red bobcat]

Yes, adjust the lay egg interval multiplier to a smaller number.

[astral fractal]

I heard it’s bugged on Xbox?

or has it been fixed

[red bobcat]

That's the only way. If it's bugged, can't help

[wintry jolt]

you can rent one or join one existing (with other players and settings may be not to your liking)

[still estuary]

ye every lvl i get if i put it now in HP or Damage only got 2 points from a lvl , when told that to my server admin on unofficial he say iam not a ark dev , the stats are the same as official ark

i had 19k hp on it and i put 31 lvl(s in HP and iam stil on 19k lol

[red bobcat]

Carchas don't get much hp from points spent I believe. Every individual species' stat point amounts are different

[wintry jolt]

Gigas too btw

[still estuary]

i get bether stats on my deinoterium, had 8k put also around 31 lv's in it and i have 40k hp thats alot bether then carcha

[wintry jolt]

HP leveling is heavily nerfed on Carchar and Giga - only level up damage

[still estuary]

ye wel seems Damage also heavy nerved ,its the same as HP only get 2 points

[strange holly]

What's wrong with them?

Day 1 of me asking

[red bobcat]

Okay, but you're forgetting a key game design element.

Your carcha gets up to 100 stacks of blood rage (granting health Regen and damage buffs) if I'm remembering that correctly.

Deinotherium does not

[still estuary]

ok wel my Thyla do then alot more damage and get tons hp lol

[wintry jolt]

DId you tame a low level ?

[still estuary]

ah? max lvl lol

[wintry jolt]

If your maxlvl carchar does less dmg then thyla ur game is broken

[still estuary]

in wild the 70k hp if tamed the hp drops to 8k from carcha

in evolve carcha was alot bether in assended the seems to be useless

[red bobcat]

They do 5% of the creatures hp per bite from the gnashing debuff. (IF they're not immune to it)

[wintry jolt]

Nah man, ur server settings are broken ^^

[red bobcat]

It's not that the thyla DOES more damage, it's programmed to have an ability that's very strong.

[still estuary]

ye my managamrm kill things alot faster then my carch lol

[wintry jolt]

Well my carchar can solo legendary OSD, while my mana can not do shit

[still estuary]

just have put HP and alot stamina and then even the kill a lv 150 bronto in around 5 seconds with icebread

[wintry jolt]

You're either trolling or your server has some weird modifications to carchar ^^

[last sedge]

Carcha gets the same post tame nerf in both

Carcha and giga true power isn't shown unless u imprint them

[still estuary]

just know in evolve my max carcha had 50 a 60k hp not only 19k hp and the damage was also alot bether

[wintry jolt]

mayb u did play singleplayer

[still estuary]

nope

[last sedge]

Both tamed Carcha and Gigas HP post imprint is 30k

[still estuary]

playing on unofficial TryArk and he say the stats are same as official stats from all dinos

[fading ice]

giga/carcha get nearly doubled hp from imprint, that shit was wild yo

[last sedge]

U need a stupid amounts of mutation to get it to 60k

[fading ice]

(tamed)

[last sedge]

Or boosted as hell settings

[fading ice]

pretty sure 60k is mathematically impossible, though?

on normal stat multipliers

[last sedge]

Carcha might

Giga def can't

[fading ice]

oh, max hp mutations and imprint gives 48200 hp base 😂

all tame levels in hp would give you 3% more

[still estuary]

ye wel you get 10 points for in shop every 15 min , need 3000 points for a lv 300 dino , 15k points for a lv 400 and so on till lv 600 , but it was a lv 300 on both evolve and assended

[fading ice]

what.

[wintry jolt]

Well, if your max level Carchar only gets 2% DMG on levelup, something is wrong with your server

[still estuary]

so ye disapointed with a 19k hp carcha

[last sedge]

carhca been like that since launch

[fading ice]

their base imprinted hp should be 33500 before any levels

[last sedge]

on ASE a 254 hp carcha with imprint and 88 levels hit's 50 382
on ASA with 50 base and rest same as ASE, 53 979

[last sedge]

isn't giga 33k and carcha 30k 0hp levels with imprint?

[fading ice]

yeah, 60k has to be modded, not a normal carcha. especially since it sounds like imprint is unknown and uninvolved

[still estuary]

ye for me just not make sence , get more hp on a mamagarm and a deinoterium wail thous are not realy the strongest fighters in game lol

[fading ice]

70,000 * 1.25 - 54,000?

imprint is 25%, right? 🤔

[last sedge]

isn't ir 20%

[fading ice]

or wait, 30%?

brain where is brain

oh, it is 20% now

yeah, those sound about right, then

[forest plover]

@strange holly there a to op in pvp official servers they destroy Flyer op and Overall the meta is broken

[last sedge]

honestly i spent months doing the calcs wrong and just having carcha giga and dread as a wierld imprint multipler, cause i did the 1.2 after the sub

[wintry jolt]

I have 56 + 255 + 0 Carchar = 40,409 HP

[still estuary]

on evolve had that with shadowmane also a lv 300 was bether then the lv 600 lol , the had bether stats and HP + str, then he say the stats are same as officials

[last sedge]

most things have normal HP scaling, giga/dread/carcha not so much

[still estuary]

ye i not realy use dreadmare to fight ,i just use that to move fast on the map with a dino in it that i direct can pull when landed

[last sedge]

most dinos gain 1/5 of the base hp per base level and 5.4% per xp level

[last sedge]

dread as in dreadnoughtus

[still estuary]

ah ok lol

[still estuary]

not played that one yet

ok game 97% can olmost play again lol ad least if the server back up

special breeded a new thylo only with HP to get a reaperqueen out the poison cave in lost colony

[strange holly]

Long as the changes they make only effect pvp. Pve needs to stop getting thrashed

If you think about how challenging Aureliax is to tame though... They shouldnt be "easy" to kill though imo

[still estuary]

i not play pvp but i find nobuddy need complain the can tame also one

or must be that the not buyed the DLC but thats then there mistake

[strange holly]

Uh.. I'm not saying it's unnecessarily difficult to tame, I just think the tame is challenging enough to warrant a powerful creature

[still estuary]

its not that 5 a 10 euro is mutch and its on the DLC's the earn between money if ark not earn money then nobuddy can play becouse why the should update a game where the not make money out

seen alot more bad games like ragnarok online where you need stay up to date buy alot in shop and it never stops

lucky ark is not like that just now and then a DLC

and i played games where you montly olmost buyed to can compeet for around 300 euro an thats then stil low to can compeet

[untold nymph]

wtf is happening if 6059 is aagain off. is the second time off after the update

[still estuary]

ye i had problims times outs and so on alot when log in lost colony not have that on other maps but sometimes 10 times before even get in game, not have that on ragnarok or astreos

[forest plover]

@strange holly be realistic everyone is breeding

[strange holly]

Well yes and don't forget the Santa Aureliax's my point is simple.. if the PVP side of this is unbalanced, sure balance it... Just don't do it at the expense of PVE. If they can make pocket gigas a thing in pve but not pvp they can change how much damage a shenron or a veilwyn can do to PLAYER structures, characters and dinos without effecting pve.

[hardy light]

Is there any news on when fjordur is coming to Asa yet?

[errant jewel]

it doesnt have fjordur? bummer

[hardy light]

Wdym

Oh nvm lol

[errant jewel]

what else is it missing?

genesis?

[hardy light]

I havent played Asa in like 1 and a half years im just waiting for fjordur...

[errant jewel]

how was playing ASA for you, im planning on buying the game

[fading ice]

gen1/2, anything post crystal isles. but it has stuff ASE does not

[errant jewel]

what does it have? also isnt gen1/2 mid anyways

[fading ice]

astraeos (adopted modmap turned dlc), several new unofficial mod maps, some of the existing maps have changes and additions (some big new islands on ragnarok ect)

[errant jewel]

also if I buy asa rn, and gen1/2 and fjordur drop later, do i still have to pay for those or will those be free

[flat bloom]

dont have dlc when go the island hahahahah nioce patch

[hardy light]

I've only really played singleplayer so I can't really give you a full review since pvp and pve servers are also a really big part of the game but from my experiences it definitely does look a WHOLE lot better than ase (assuming you have good quality settings) so definitely be weary that your PC has the right specs, although there are also still a lot of bugs and little things that definitely need tweaking, and the biggest part of what I didnt like about Asa is that they really tease you with DLC content, that's only able to affect you negatively unless you buy the dlc, for example some really powerful tames like the dreadmare of pyromane or the nature bear thing are very aggressive towards you, and if you try taming it it won't let you unless you but the DLC, same goes for treasure maps and other items that they give you, but can't use, it's mainly what I said last and that singleplayer is still missing a lot of features that I think are really necessary

[fading ice]

free, for the content that was in ASE

[hardy light]

Fjordur is a community map so it'll be free

[errant jewel]

I see

but if my laptop can handle it
I should go for ASA right

[fading ice]

what hardware do you have?

[errant jewel]

gaming laptop
RTX 4060
with like 32gb of ram and 8gb gpu
something like that

[dapper ledge]

When does Easter event end?

[faint raptor]

Anyone still crash on astraeos and ragnarok with mods on need to fix the crashing though mods on Xbox

[dapper ledge]

Yes

[fading ice]

that will run asa, but it wont run it well

8GB RAM cant handle anything above low settings

assuming the CPU is not a complete potato

[errant jewel]

you mean the gpu?

[fading ice]

VRAM, yeah

[errant jewel]

so should I buy ASE then or

because I dont want to buy a game just to be constantly lagging

[fading ice]

mods = uses more memory. big maps = uses more memory. xbox = small memory. there is no way to "fix" it. use less mods. are you on X or S?

[fading ice]

depends on how you define lag, and if high-quality graphics are important. ascended on low/mid will still look better than evolved in a lot of cases

[faint raptor]

X

[fading ice]

you can use some mods, cant go nuts with them like you have a PC with 32GB+ RAM, separate video memory, and actual swap space

try to limit it to one big dino or structure mod

dont use batshit stufl like primal chaos

[faint raptor]

Yea al

Alright thanks

[errant jewel]

does it have anything to do with the heat or?

[fading ice]

heat?

[errant jewel]

like overheating

[fading ice]

i am not sure what you mean..

[errant jewel]

nvm then

[fading ice]

not any relation between memory size and heat 🤔

if something is crashing, that is a whole different issue

[errant jewel]

I mean
good graphics are nice but I also want it because of the quality of life stuff + ASE is discontinued

how do you get chibis

[last sedge]

kill ascention bosses, craft on smithy during event or crack event eggs

[last sedge]

make recrutment posts in #1110949794907684965

[jovial garnet]

so not like in evolved with s+

[last sedge]

of course not

[jovial garnet]

ok

also how do i get honey from hives on trees, i hold my bear next to it using a rhynio but it doesnt collect

and theyre too high to get from the ground

[last sedge]

that's not a thing, bears don't auto collect
make a ramp up
or grapple and collect by hand

[jovial garnet]

oh

ive seen people do it in videos

also how do i tame the queen bee

[last sedge]

break hive and passive tame with rare flower or kibble

[jovial garnet]

ok thanks

[woven steeple]

Anyone know how rare summer drake lungs are on extinction ?

[hardy ridge]

How can I fix when I try to install a mod it says “uninstall older mod” but I have no order mods!

[fading ice]

what platform are you on

[covert parcel]

Not particularly rare. Just look for them in hot places, where the chance is higher.

[woven steeple]

So in the desert and wastelands is my best bet?

[hardy ridge]

Pc

[fading ice]

steam or xbox? 🤔

[hardy ridge]

Steam

[fading ice]

that error does not exist on steam, legitimately, so something is seriously goofed. there is not limited mod space on real pc version

are you out of drive space?

[jovial garnet]

why do acros spawn so much, im trying to tame a bee and theres at least 3 near every hive

[lone yacht]

They the new kings of the Redwood

[jovial garnet]

how do i tame bees now when theres an acro in every direction

[lone yacht]

Suffer

Its incredibly annoying and buggy

You can look for wandering bees, sometimes can be found north east across from carno island

But tjey are difficult to spot

Astraeos has a whole cave filled with bees and honey 😌

[jovial garnet]

oh i didnt know they could spawn without a hive

[lone yacht]

Very convenient

[lone yacht]

Yes but quite rare

[jovial garnet]

when they come out of the hive they just run

ok

[lament rock]

is asa that bad ? and is ase better? Right now I’m thinking of ether getting asa or getting all the dlcs in ase

[versed needle]

Has anyone had any issues with baby elderclaws refusing to eat from a maeguana?

[stiff fiber]

nope, all my babies seem to eat from maeguana just fine only time they dont eat from maeguana is either maeguana dont have nursing on or the maeguana doesnt have the right food in its inventory for the baby your raising

[jovial garnet]

If your device can handle it I’d go for ASA

[versed needle]

They started to eat. I had to punch them and then feed them a berry and they were fine

[swift dagger]

Is anything being done about the spaming? Asking because they are now spamming chat repeatedly with 2-10 links at a time.

[frozen belfry]

Please, someone inform Wildcard that the person creating endless avatars on the servers is creating bugs to transmit messages on the game's website.

[obsidian coyote]

Hello, I'm playing Ark: Ascended on PC via the Xbox launcher and I can't find an official PvP server, even though my friend can. I've checked that my filter bar is at zero, but nothing changes. HELP ME PLEASE

[heavy steppe]

i crafted a couple of the eggcellent adventure holiday items in my smithy, but when I move the item to my inventory it disapears?

[swift dagger]

Its in your cosmetic tab. Look in your invetory under that tab (next to crafting) on the left, then item costmetics on the right side.

[swift dagger]

Did you check the options at the bottom, not just the top?

[obsidian coyote]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I checked everything. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

[teal parcel]

are there cryofridges littered on every server all over the beaches?

[cosmic bone]

Yes because stupid rules/enforcement yield stupid work arounds.

[worldly portal]

Why is it hard to stay connected to ark. When I refresh, server ping jumps to thousands on others. Major Dsync too

[swift dagger]

What kind of server is it?

[keen osprey]

Anyone know how rare megalania is on abberation

[frosty venture]

They are pretty common down in the drake trench

[shadow current]

Anyone trading ffas / breeders / boss fights on asa smalls?

Or is this the incorrect channel if so, my apologies

[ornate ingot]

Any known issues with the folder bug happening again?

[ornate escarp]

Question curious on finding spawn time for wandering titan in astreos ? Any way to know?

[gritty sequoia]

So, anyone here know how much sulfur it takes to raise baby phoenix's?

[neon viper]

Who do the obelisk statues in astraeos represent?

[lusty plank]

Does anyone know why it needs to restart?

[pine spade]

was the steam update supposed to be 50gbs?

[clear ridge]

12.6GB for me

[pine spade]

apparently im patching 56gbs somehow

[clear ridge]

Arktings

[pine spade]

well this is gonan day maybe 2 days... fun

the downside to pc i guess

[halcyon crag]

Why can’t I harvest trilobites

[thorn root]

hello dazzle sever how many days in game reset sever ?

[edgy hemlock]

What's this?! I have yet to hear about this one.. 😕

[mossy violet]

Still no fix for Gloons blocking interaction and tek punch when using any ability on your shoulder. Sad

[primal cliff]

anyone know how to make level one acros? how do you lower tame effectiveness?

[pine spade]

Now the update went from 56GBs to 102GBs.

Are these server freaking patches effecting the actual client?

I never had this issue on ps5

[lusty reef]

Do the devs actually interact with the community? I don't feel like I've ever really noticed

Or not devs but just wildcard employees in general

[pine spade]

I'm not much of a PC player here but iv never had something like this happen before where I'm going to assume a 12GB update is making me redownload the game in irs entirety?

Closest thing iv seen to that was elder scrolls online on console doing a downsize patch for the entire game (which asa has yet to do anywhere yet) and it forced you to redownload the game

[earnest beacon]

do we hav red woods in astraeos

[neat musk]

fixed an exploit
Apparently meant removing the QoL feature of pulling more than 1 copy of an artifact out of a dedi so you could upload More than 1 singular copy per 15 minutes. What a phenomenal change, truly.

[pine spade]

You can upload artefacts??? I swear I tried that single player never worked lol

[scarlet yarrow]

You weren’t supposed to be able to upload with more than 1 artifact

[neat musk]

Uploading the artifact into ark data.. to download it elsewhere, which has always worked. Not transfer with multiple in your inventory, which never did.

[scarlet yarrow]

Sure it’s worked before but why do you think you could only do it with a set in your inventory?

You were just working around the system

They prevented that

[pine spade]

Must of been a dedicated server thing only I swear those and element weren't transferable same with tributes

[neat musk]

Tributes aren't transferable, artifacts have been freely transferable since ASE. I only play official so I wouldn't know if there's special restrictions elsewhere

[scarlet yarrow]

You can transfer artifacts on official

[pine spade]

Dam I'll have to recheck it again once ya know this stupid Download is done. Cause I knew atleast for ps4 ase single player they couldn't

[north viper]

hey!

[neat musk]

It now takes 2 and a half hours to upload 10 copies of an artifact. Whereas before it was 15 min.
An overwhelmingly negative change that benefits no one is classically annoying.

[flint gazelle]

yea bro, fix stuff that doesnt affect the game at all instead of fixing other stuff like the ppl spam chat

[scarlet yarrow]

I’m pretty sure that’s also being handled with I don’t get why you not being able to transfer 10 sets of artifacts is a complete detriment to the game by time you’re done with your first set and you go do the boss you can go grab another set

[flint gazelle]

same with bed spawn bug (you trasnfer servers and need to wait 3-10 min for spawning in bed

[flint gazelle]

there are ppl that want many artis on 1 server instead of going to rnd servers to grab them everytime

idk if yk but there are also ppl selling those artis, you think ppl want to build 2x2 on each server they buy them from to have even more servers they need to render just bc they dont want to transfer them 10h straight

[scarlet yarrow]

You can have many artis on a server still

[neat musk]

Because, as an example: restocking my island, astraeos, and ragnarock servers each with a couple sets of artifacts from center just changed from a maximum 15min task to a multiple hour task.

[flint gazelle]

[flint gazelle]

[neat musk]

Just because you don't play the game in a way that will be affected by this change, doesn't change the fact that it's a detrimental change that "solved" a non-issue

[flint gazelle]

it changed the issue of being faster

[solid peak]

So what's going to happen when someone wins multiple of the same artifact in club ark and it gets auto uploaded to your ob

[flint gazelle]

imagin they didnt thought about that and they just boom

[fathom socket]

my map is blurry and unclear how can i fix it

[flint gazelle]

what map you on

[fathom socket]

island

[flint gazelle]

use those commands and look how it is

r.Volumetricfog 0 | r.VolumetricCloud 0 | r.fog 0

[scarlet yarrow]

Why don’t you just go get those artifacts on their respective servers

[fathom socket]

i will , thank you

[scarlet yarrow]

Use an otter too that might help

[flint gazelle]

you dont get the problem, it is taking hrs just to transfer the same amount of artis but taking much longer

[scarlet yarrow]

I can see how it would take longer I know how a 15 minute timer works

[flint gazelle]

i could have brought 50 sets of abb artis with 3 transfers, now i need 50 sets x 15 min, so 750 min

[fathom socket]

my map is still blury

[neat musk]

Do you also understand that artifact respawn timers aren't the same on all maps?
Center has fast artifact spawns and has been the prefered location to farm them since ASE

[scarlet yarrow]

You could have as many sets as you wanted if you just go get the artifact on abb 🥀

[sturdy idol]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well? If anyone is launching a boss fight today, I'd be happy to take it. Have a good day!

[scarlet yarrow]

You can’t wait 5 minutes for it to spawn?

[flint gazelle]

change your ark settings

[flint gazelle]

im not allowed to send pics here but look in general settings under graphics, turn off motion blur light bloom and light shafts

[scarlet yarrow]

Oh my bad 10 minutes

[flint gazelle]

you think i go get them on my own? i just buy them, so they most likely are on a different server

[scarlet yarrow]

See buying them is against tos of you’re on official

[woeful hazel]

Recommendations for unofficial servers / good ones with active admins

[fathom socket]

i really appreciate ur help

[flint gazelle]

did i mentioned € or $?

[neat musk]

Again you're missing the point. You are now adding time doing extra farming in a place you may not have wanted to farm.

Many of us have hundreds of artifacts farmed already on other maps. Because moving artifacts has always worked the same way.. until now.

[scarlet yarrow]

Buying and trading are different things

[flint gazelle]

[scarlet yarrow]

You’re upset you don’t want to farm in a game where you farm

Nice profile

[flint gazelle]

ok sry, i tradet 1.1k island artifacts (11 artis each 100) for 11k tek, is that understandable for you?

fr

[scarlet yarrow]

It was sarcasm

[woeful hazel]

any good servers to play pvp ?

[flint gazelle]

is your stepsis fine?

just wondering

[flint gazelle]

do you play on official servers?

[neat musk]

I'm bothered about player hostile changes that make the sandbox game objectively worse for no actual benefit. Which really isn't the same thing, but sure feel free to think that.

[flint gazelle]

damn, im lowkey afraid to tell you which

[flint gazelle]

can you farm me 100k ele on my official astra server? i mean its just farming yk, i can pay you 50k tek ceilings

[scarlet yarrow]

Yeah what server number

[flint gazelle]

dm

[fallen merlin]

Is there any updates on the Unreal 5.7 upgrade???

[dire tusk]

Your textures settings need to be at least at medium, make sure your GPU isn't maxed out either. I've noticed it gets blurry whenever my GPU usage is too high

[grizzled plank]

nope

[tacit hawk]

nope

[ionic swallow]

When will the Genesis map be released? I'm very excited!

[dire tusk]

How do I know when my character is ready to poop? lol

[lyric plover]

Can anyone help me??
I've got a problem: I'm trying to download my character data, but it's not working. When I respawn, I get kicked off the server, but if I create a new character, it doesn't happen. Any ideas on what I can do?

[umbral elm]

Dermis ICE TITAN It doesn't look like what's on the taxidermy base fixed plz.(I'm playing on a computer on steam)

We hear you, don’t spam pls and thank you

[versed needle]

Any update on them fixing the spamming bots in global chat?

[dire tusk]

Any reason why my character won't ever poop? No matter the settings?

[umbral elm]

sorry

[blazing grove]

No worries

[errant jewel]

isnt pvp absolutely horrible in ASA

[grizzled plank]

people still wanna play it

[stable comet]

Because of bad camera

For me at least

[errant jewel]

right but isnt it also stupidly p2w

idk how people can still be enjoyable then

[grizzled plank]

that has never stoped most people from playing a PVP game

all the "world of ----" games war thunder, crossout just a few off the top of my head
all P2W all with lots of players

[errant jewel]

also are there like
PVE asa servers

[bold yoke]

Any one need a breeder for dinos?

[magic edge]

How do you consume emotes after unlocking can't find them anywhere

[last sedge]

most of them are PVE, pvp is not the majority

[elfin orbit]

does acro region 2 use color in rage mode??? like switch it to a color instead of red?

[stable comet]

Pve is so boring

[jaunty quest]

Who wants to go to PVE Ark?

[lone yacht]

Not that I can tell

So very likely no

The red a reference to Monster Hunter so I think thas set

[tawdry birch]

is there a way to insta transfer on ps5 like on pc when you press t?

[elfin orbit]

hold A + RT

[tawdry birch]

i am on ps5 not xbox

[elfin orbit]

lol hold x then r2

[tawdry birch]

ok let me try real quick

alright tysm

[sharp gazelle]

fix fucking outposts @heavy cedar nobody cares about longitude on the map

[icy mango]

Does anyone know if they'll offer a transfer option for modded acros? Like the variants to vanilla?

[keen juniper]

Will radios ever be fixed? I run a roleplay server and we are suffering without them.

[fickle kraken]

Does anyone have any tips on how to tame a pyromane?

[keen juniper]

On what map?

[fickle kraken]

The center

[keen juniper]

Wait for it to rain and use rare flowers to bring things to you.

[fickle kraken]

Thats actually really smart haha, thank you

[keen juniper]

❤️‍🔥

[sour fog]

i see that survival ascended is on a 75% discount on steam rn and going for only $11. im considering buying it but does it come with all the dlc maps from evolved? like scorched earth, abberation, and extinction?

[hard roost]

yep, it does :)

[fathom sorrel]

And none of them work correctly

[hard roost]

also accurate

[outer widget]

scorched earth mostly works fine

[fathom sorrel]

👀

Mostly 😂

[sour fog]

i thought the bugs from survival evolved were mostly dealt with in ascended 😭

[fathom sorrel]

Sure. Built the game new from the ground up 🤡

[ocean wyvern]

Guys is 39 Melee Theri good?

I want to beat the Island on gamma

I've played Ase for 400 hours but never fought any bosses, and it's my first time playing Asa and yes I know alot about it

[hard roost]

since we are talking about bugs, are any of you playing on unofficial clusters and have this weird travel bug where structures dont load? you gotta reconnect after every travel and its just.. ugh -.-

[short bloom]

which one is the best way to get tek on first day in official pvp conquest or other servers like small tribes solo/duo ?

[sturdy idol]

Good evening, I was wondering if anyone is planning to fight a boss in official PvE tonight, thank you.

[lone yacht]

Its decent, an entirely average 150 tame would be about 38 melee

[remote cave]

can pc and ps5 play together?

[hidden totem]

yes they can! if you're on an unofficial server using mods, they have to be cross platform. most are by default

[remote cave]

so me and my friend wanna do like a pve server on a public do yk where i could find that?

[tepid adder]

so, it says tame cap for me. but even if i kill some of my dinos i still cant claim these new babies. bc it says the same, is it a glitch or what do i do?

[viscid kernel]

Pod them up.

[tepid adder]

huh pod them up?

[viscid kernel]

Try podding them up, put them in a crypto’s

*cryopod, stupid autocorrect

[tepid adder]

the babies or what? cuz i cant claim them

[viscid kernel]

Your other Dino’s

Any that are out

[tepid adder]

and legit just hatched a bunch of babies with no problem and i go to attend to smt for 5 min and come back and cant claim the new ones

[wide socket]

First check your tame count in inventory. Sometimes we go over the limit before the game actually block us. If you're under the limit then isnthe server that's capped (if you play with other people)

[viscid kernel]

That don’t necessarily need to be

[tepid adder]

i got like a shitton of dinos out dude xD

[viscid kernel]

Pod some of em

[tepid adder]

i also have a lvl 1 cat runnin around my base?? i cant kill it, its just running around

[astral escarp]

No wonder you're at cap...

[viscid kernel]

It’s probably a player

[tepid adder]

its egg farms

ooh right

[viscid kernel]

Players can turn into level 1 cats

[astral escarp]

Useless, easier ways to get kibble

[wide socket]

Well that's the issue. If you don't pode them then you won't be able to claim more

[viscid kernel]

So put some of your creatures in cryopods, as many as you can and then try claiming, you should be okay. There’s a limit on how many can be out. Let me know if it worked.

[tepid adder]

oo right okey, ill try that thx

[wide socket]

You can check how many you have out hitting inventory

[serene edge]

What RTX should I look into to run ascended smoothly on pc?

[tepid adder]

oh yeah i see now,

[viscid kernel]

I have a GTX 4060 Ti and I get decent frame rates.

[tepid adder]

didnt knwo that was a thing in my 8 years of playing this game hahaa

[viscid kernel]

Even more so with frame generation on.

[serene edge]

Whats the difference between RTX and GTX? Sorry im very uneducated on pc terms

I only know like ram and cpu 😭

[viscid kernel]

Well I think mine is a GTX RTX if I’m not mistaken

I think rtx is ray tracing something

[wide socket]

Never played over the limit before?

[tepid adder]

apperently not

[serene edge]

Idk what that means, idk what an rtx is tbh I just asked chat got then wanted to see what ark players had

Gpt*

[viscid kernel]

Ah I am mistaken it’s only an RTX.

[serene edge]

Is that worse or sm

[viscid kernel]

Just looked it up, apparently it’s real time ray tracing.

[wide socket]

The letters indicate a generation of parts. Newer/older kind of thing. And the numbers after the letters usually speak of the features in that generation

[viscid kernel]

Which I think means better graphics

[viscid kernel]

Did it work?

[serene edge]

Whats considered good?

[tepid adder]

yup thx!

[median tundra]

Please tell me I'm not the only one when upon transferring servers, nothing loads/no building loads and I can't take out anything, then I either disconnect or I need to relog for it all to load properly

[viscid kernel]

Yeah if you wanna avoid that limit, just put Dino’s not in use in cryopods and it will allow you to get around that tame limit.

[wide socket]

Current? No idea. I haven't been able to buy parts like since 2022 😅
Mine is a gtx 4060Ti. Probably outdated now. Still runs Asa just not max resolution

[tepid adder]

yeeh, just needto keep an eye on whats out. just never experiences this before haha

[viscid kernel]

They do have a recommended on the steam page I believe.

[serene edge]

✅

[viscid kernel]

And anything higher than that is better.

[viscid kernel]

RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 10/11 with updates
PROCESSOR: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, Intel i5-10600K
MEMORY: 32 GB RAM
GRAPHICS: AMD Radeon RX 6800, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
DIRECTX: Version 12
NETWORK: Broadband Internet connection
STORAGE: 180 GB available space
ADDITIONAL NOTES: SSD Requir

[grizzled plank]

both are just branding names
nvidia GPU's after 20 series (turing) have RTX branding
nvidia GPU's before then have GTX branding
RTX is also how nvidia likes to market their feature set

[wide socket]

I'd check the review websites where you can do a VS between parts to find the best (that's how I buy usually)

[grizzled plank]

dont limit yourself to only one brand when looking to buy a GPU

or really any hardware

[serene edge]

Ok

Whats the bwst one

[grizzled plank]

the best is stupidly expensive

not even worth thinking about

[viscid kernel]

Anything above what I listed will probably work better, so anything above a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080

[grizzled plank]

they added RT to the name as it was meant to be a big selling point when the first RTX branded GPU's came out
the X is just to make it sound cooler

[grizzled plank]

or RX 6800

[serene edge]

Ok

[grizzled plank]

to really enjoy this game you need something with 12GB of VRAM and a good looking upscaler (DLSS or FSR 4 really only)

[serene edge]

Is vram different than just ram

😭

All these terms bruh I feel so stupid I just wanna buy a good pc

[grizzled plank]

yes
as its on the GPU itself, and cant be upgraded
RAM and VRAM are 2 seperate things

[serene edge]

So is vram not ram

[grizzled plank]

yes

also some 3080's only actually have 10GB of VRAM

[lone yacht]

Hey if you have money people buy the best

Folks do crazy thibgs for Ark 👀

[grizzled plank]

i believe you cant even buy a 5090 in my country

[lone yacht]

👀

[grizzled plank]

nah you can
for 4085 euros 😂

[grizzled plank]

just checked
i was assuming before

[near cliff]

Is anyone playing arkpoc

[fading ice]

a graphics card is effectively a whole self-contained computer. it has it's own memory on-board. how much it has dictates how much stuff it can load/level of detail it can render

if it runs out, it does fall back and use your normal RAM, but this is potentially hundreds of times slower and usually means the game freezes

[serene edge]

Soooo

What do I buy 🤗

[fading ice]

depends on what you need, your budget, a bunhc of feature preferences

if you know nothing about PCs or gaming, probably time to learn. otherwise at best you will probably overpay for something wildly unsuitable

[maiden mica]

how can i play on scorched earth without dying every 2 seconds

[teal lance]

hey everyone what do you think is the best map besides paid maps and free astraeos and center

modded or official maps

[teal lance]

tent

[teal lance]

i'd say a 5080 or a 9070xt if you can save, its $700-850 usually. ngl 10x better than any 5090 melting and 4090 is just mad huge for most PC sizes

who wants to buy a GPU just to upgrade their case cause it dont fit, or you have to get a whole new PSU component due to Watt room

[serene edge]

Idk what any of that means ngl

[teal lance]

You'll get it eventually

if you keep using the PC it will come to you

[serene edge]

Should I learn the terms and shi before I look into buying

[teal lance]

No matter what you buy one day it will be outdated

and it cant run the latest game next year probably

[serene edge]

😔

[teal lance]

just go a bit above average

[serene edge]

Like what

[teal lance]

or go average and run everything on low

[serene edge]

I eanna play games like

Ark ascended, Minecraft roblox

And idk what to buy for that

[teal lance]

do you want ASA at higher settings or low?

low can cause crashing if insufficient VRAM

but the more FPS is $$$

if you want higher settings

my PC is 2K right there and thats it for me, I wont spend anymore on an inflated market atm

[serene edge]

Like medium, I don't need it to look like im outside in real life but I dont want stutters or lag

Like that much atleast

[teal lance]

then you want parts that have low latency ms

and not bottle necking

but there are games will you get stutters

no matter how great your hardware is, its due to the way the game was made

12GB VRAM and 16GB VRAM is the best for GPU rn

6-8 core CPUs rn

16GB ram honestly isnt great anymore

[serene edge]

Would you mind like, dming this to me so I dint gotta search here for it some other time

[teal lance]

but due to the price of ddr5...

[teal lance]

uh sure

[serene edge]

Oh yea ik abt that terrible time to be looking into buying but since im getting a job this summer its really my onmy chance lol

Until summer 2027

[serene edge]

Ty

[teal lance]

it is because if you want newer cpus and boards you're stuck with DDR5

[lean scaffold]

is anyone else having fps drops on lost colony?

[teal lance]

yeah its been reporting

they rushed the map, and bugs everywhere especially the wave stuff

[lean scaffold]

I have been losing my mind the past two days thinking its my pc

I get lows like 10s and 20s fps

on a 5070Ti and 9800X3D

[teal lance]

wew

I'm just a step above you

[lean scaffold]

5080?

[teal lance]

9070xt and 9800x3D

its the same as a 5080

[lean scaffold]

yeah, I just picked nvidia for the dlss tech

otherwise amd would be king

[teal lance]

once vulkan really comes into support more

amd is gonna skyrocket

[lean scaffold]

if I may what are your graphic settings? as soon as I unpause I get the spikes

[teal lance]

crazy enough I play on epic

for most

[lean scaffold]

I can on mostly for everything but even on low/medium I have these spikes

[teal lance]

if I lower the graphics i actually get the same performance

[lean scaffold]

same

[teal lance]

its mainly res and some other things

that really effect everything

and the actual texture graphics

[lean scaffold]

I had everything on mostly epic at the start and was fine but after 10 min it just takes a dive

[teal lance]

I put the texture to high and gained like 20fps higher lows

[lean scaffold]

like its part of the map as a bug

my textures are on medium and I get these lows

[teal lance]

Yeah

But it seems ark has been really fixing things this past year

I hope they make it more performance

[lean scaffold]

im glad to know its just a bug with the map and not my settings

because a gpu this powerful should not be on low/medium

with dlss and fg

[teal lance]

With the new engine upgrade coming, its bound to really really help with performance, i've seen the cool nanite stuff myself using the free unreal engine

[teal lance]

there is this crazy thing too on amd, I cant use FSR funny enough being amd, i have to use unreal or I crash

[lean scaffold]

is there a roadmap showing when that is planned?

[teal lance]

I think so

[lean scaffold]

crazy tbh

[teal lance]

i would be getting 200s fps but due to unreal i'm at low 60 to high 175 if I look at the sky

haha

[lean scaffold]

even using what the nvidia app reccomends for settings its still bad

[reef nacelle]

Our unofficial cluster is seeing an inventory bug, but only on Ragnarok. Anyone else seeing empty inventories?

[tawdry birch]

hey when i play on ps5 and try to aim at a dino its likea magnet symbol that attaches meto it, how do i tur that off?

it pulls my aim on the dino

how do i fix that

[wide socket]

Vram is the processing capacity of the gpu. It's important when playing visually demanding games (such as Ark), or working with visually demanding software.
Ram is what you know, the thing thay helps processing everything in your pc.

[wide socket]

More than just each part you really need to do your research to assemble a build where all the parts are compatible, complement and enhance each other

[serene edge]

Ok

[fading ice]

vulkan came into support close to a decade ago 🤔

i cant even remember the last time i saw a compatibility issue with it in the wild

[fading ice]

that is almost the exact opposite of what ram does lol

[grizzled plank]

5080 is a tad faster
9070 XT is more of a 5070 TI equivilent

[grizzled plank]

bruh
blame devs ig
i dont have that issue tho

[grizzled plank]

what

[fading ice]

😂

[lean scaffold]

Vram is the GPU’s own form of ram to store visual assets before it stitches it all together.

Aka, vram good for ark.
Normal ram ok

[fading ice]

big dell energy

[lean scaffold]

My dell office pro from 2013 works fine btw. It can sit idle with W11 at a measly 70C

[drifting juniper]

Anyone got any raids they need help with on small tribes

[fading ice]

TIM is literally cooked

ceramic emulsion cracker

[lean scaffold]

It’s my new furnace

[fading ice]

only if you can figure out how to make all that heat exit the IHS

[lean scaffold]

I cut a hole on the side and hole in the front and back with an industrial fan blowing it around

[fading ice]

that should be how dells come, anyway. at least the old ones

just one fucking delta screamer aimed at the motherboard

6000rpm of pure rage

fan thicker than most structural supports

[lean scaffold]

It needs a generator to spin the fan with how big it is

[fleet vine]

when did arkpoc wipe?

[teal lance]

Or a newer Vulkan xd

[fading ice]

wat?

[tame furnace]

Make the spam stop

[teal lance]

Yes, shhhh im tripping with vulkan

[errant jewel]

whats the best way to play duo multiplayer without other people ruining our progress/using admin commands to spawn whatever?

[teal lance]

Yup

And if you undervolt a 9070xt and stuff you can make it just basically the same performance

[fading ice]

dont play pvp? or.. that is a weird question

[grizzled plank]

i know
i was just reading that guy's message and it made zero sense to me

[fading ice]

what exactly do you think vulkan does 🤔

[errant jewel]

no I mean like
if we play on official servers it'll prob be crowded right and people will be spamming whatever
if we play on unofficial ones we have to trust a random guy and pray he doesnt start spawning random stuff or wipe everyones progress

[last sedge]

So no pvp place has what u want, shocker

[fading ice]

dont play on some random kid's shitter server. or run your own LAN server nobody else can even touch

[lone yacht]

Thats why people get their own server and Nitrado makes their $$$

Money money for the server rental fees 😂

[last sedge]

Self hosting for the win

[errant jewel]

isnt that very stressfull on the PC tho

[lone yacht]

Then money money for all that RAM

[last sedge]

I'm not paying for all that server space when it's just me

[fading ice]

if you are still running a Pentium II, sure

[last sedge]

Hopefully it gets better soon, I got mine just as about to explode

🙏

[lone yacht]

🙏

[errant jewel]

imagine I was to host my own priv server, or my friend. Would they get like access to my ip or?

[fading ice]

instructions unclear; single stick of 16GB 5400 CAS40?

[fading ice]

you need to have a reasonably sane IP lease and no CGNAT/shared WAN IP nonsense to host a server.. basically, not be on a garbage mobile hotspot

[lone yacht]

Plus the know how, troubleshooting, time, electricity, costs of getting hardware youself... not feasible for many folks

And no GUI

[fading ice]

dont need any of that for a private lan server that is not always-on

[lone yacht]

Then mgiht as well play single player or non dedivated 😔 😔

[fading ice]

non-dedicated is a shitfire

[lone yacht]

Or if you want lotsa mods too!

Its just a huge hassle setting up your own server

[fading ice]

takes like 5 minutes

[lone yacht]

Only if you alr got the hardwate and know how to do so

[fading ice]

click download on steam. make a one-line launch script. copy and paste config files. boom server

[lone yacht]

And then you gotta get in to changing your inis and all of that manually

it takes forever

[fluid pier]

Ok have a question if you put in a ticket how long does it take ark to handle it?

[fading ice]

you have to do that in singleplayer or a cloud host as well 🤷 or just.. dont change stuff if opening a text file is scary

[fading ice]

depends on what it is for

[fluid pier]

Ok cause now for three weeks of nothing done for our server with the scam bot is crazy

[fading ice]

there is no way to "handle" that. it is waiting on a fix for the exploit the bot uses, which sounds like it will take some significant changes to the login system, from some insider-ish info i have seen 👀

[fluid pier]

And multiple player putting in tickets

[lone yacht]

All im saying is there reaosn why Nitrado makes a ton of money, self hosting is limited and not really practical for most users

[fading ice]

cant ban someone that is just making infinite accounts

[fluid pier]

Yeah i get it its just annoying cause they fill global chat constantly like wow move on now

[fading ice]

people think it is and dont try. dealing with nitrado's dogshit interface and service is more time and struggle

[lone yacht]

Maybe people like you are tech savvy enough to do so but thats not most people 😔

[fluid pier]

I felt that one hard to

[lone yacht]

Very much a minority after all

[fading ice]

if someone can read and open a file without hurting themselves, they are fine. it is pisseasy. zero programming/specific technical knowledge needed

[lone yacht]

I feel like thats over simplifying

troubleshooting issues that inevitably comr up will be a major pain

[fluid pier]

Lol i fall as short of my mas blond gene so brain dont always function on all cylinders 😅

[fading ice]

worst enemy to it is the same thing that always gets people trying to do "technical" stuff; assuming it is 10x harder than it is and trying to make up all the extra complication they imagine must exist, then fucking up absolutely everything in the process by not just doing exactly what they need to

[fluid pier]

Boy you got that one right

[fading ice]

there is not really anything to troubleshoot aside from network setup, which basically comes down to "dont be that guy on reddit who is crashing out because a HTTP port checker cant see their UDP game server"

[lone yacht]

If its that easy, why isnt there a business for undercutting Nitrado to do it for them

Nitrado charges a lot after all

[fluid pier]

Me I just cant compute all the time so I fall short in that experience I yell for the brains aka hubby rofl

[fading ice]

because they have an exclusivity license to rent pre-configured servers? and there are other companies doing it anyway, despite that. not to mention no cloud hosting company is going to lack people who can figure out how to configure a server image

their own management infrastructure is literally thousands of times more complicated than installing an ark server

[lone yacht]

I mean services to set up people's servers for them 😔

[fading ice]

why would anyone do that lmao

[lone yacht]

If that's simple and cheap easy way to undercut Nitrafo

and make money they would have 😂

[fluid pier]

That dollar amount is why some do we have all seen it now days

[strange holly]

Lmao I'm stuck inside an acro's mouth and can't get out... In the red woods, send help and prayers that no troodons see this as an... opportunity lol!

[fading ice]

why would anyone pay for that. if you CBA to install and configure, download any of the probably dozens of free scripts that do auto setup

[fluid pier]

I love my troodons hehehe

[fading ice]

otherwise you would be paying someone probably more than a year's nitrado costs to remote into your PC and set stuff up

[lone yacht]

I mean if its cheaper than Nitrado, people will pay to not have to do it themselves and get the same results 🤔

[strange holly]

It's got 31 pretame melee too 😭

[fading ice]

what do you think nitrado costs..

[lone yacht]

Its quite expensive! Like about 15$ per server month

no joke

[fading ice]

that is quite literally nothing. what do you think the cost of live tech support to configure would be?

[lone yacht]

Why do you need so much live tech support to configure if its trivially easy as you claim? 👀

[fading ice]

let's say two hours, one time (unrealistic) of a trained IT, plus overhead and profit margin

[lone yacht]

The whole point is... its not easy

[fading ice]

i dont know, you brought it up

[fluid pier]

Lol

[lone yacht]

That business doesn't exist because such a setup is not simple

[fading ice]

tons of people that are not making up weird fanfic about how it works do it all the time 🤷 skill issue

[lone yacht]

So expecting non tech savvy folks to just do it themselves is not really plausible, thats the fanfic

[fading ice]

business does not exist because nobody in their right mind would pay like 500$ to have someone set up a server when they can just pay 15$ to have someone set up a server (nitrado) or pay 0$ to have a script set up a server (see: anything free on github)

[fluid pier]

Oh there is so many great fanfics tho

[lone yacht]

trueee

None for server setups though, they stinky

[fading ice]

and yet they do it all the time. i have seen 13 year old kids set up clusters for their friends ect

only barrier to doing it is self-inflicted

[lone yacht]

And yet tons ofnpeople still rent from Nitrado 👀

[fading ice]

if someone cant figure out how to click a download button in steam and open one file, they probably cant figure out how to pay nitrado, anyway

[fluid pier]

Most of the issues is the fps and speed lol I get used to speed then when I have to go slow due to signal or lag uuuhg I wanna go fast XD

[lone yacht]

Yea stability/performance is also an issue with self hosting and troubleshooting that as you get more mods/people joining is challenging

[strange holly]

ONE MORE BITE! I'm almost free!!

[fluid pier]

Hahaha

Chomp done

[strange holly]

Freedom!

[fluid pier]

💃

[strange holly]

Bruh why lol it only gave me 11 more points in melee /cry

[fluid pier]

🤯

[lone yacht]

Have you ever tried playing on someone's random server like this? Was it a good experience 😂 ?

[fading ice]

what does this even mean

[fluid pier]

Depended on the server and the people playing but I know I have XD

[lone yacht]

Like joining someone's server that they have running on an old laptop 🤔

[strange holly]

That's ok my luck has been terrible lol.... I tamed a male with 36 pretame melee and it only gave me 10 points

So... 46 melee

[fluid pier]

Oh ouch yeah that yucky

[lone yacht]

Yea if they know what they doing its perfectly fine... but a lotta issues can come up 😔

[fluid pier]

True can over heat laptop

[fading ice]

why the fuck would someone run a server on an old laptop

[lone yacht]

I don know you said its as easy as running a steam config

Is there suddenly more complex requirements? 👀

[fluid pier]

Man u make due with what u got at hand now days

[fading ice]

what are you even on about

like you dont even know what a server is and have never ran one, just nonsense

[lone yacht]

Huh? do you know what a server is?

You do know taht you run them on hardware right?

[fluid pier]

I say servers are like old lawnmowers pretty to look at but always modifying the engine parts to be better

[lone yacht]

Yea people who are into it get real in depth about it 😂

[fluid pier]

Have to i love the liquid cooled one so 😍

[lone yacht]

Yea those systems are neat!

[fading ice]

incoherent, but if you think you cant run them on the same system as the game, that is nonsense

if dedicated hardware is needed for whatever reason, common sense applies to selecting it 🙄

[fluid pier]

Lol tell that to ps5 system please

[lone yacht]

You can sure... but then you're running the server and the game lol

[fading ice]

yes?

[lone yacht]

And your hardware requirements likely go up to do so...

Dedicated has less needs

and would represent the least barrier to entru

[fading ice]

like one free SMT thread and 8~12 GB memory, not exactly rocket science

[fading ice]

also nonsense. why are you yapping about this if you have clearly never done it

[fluid pier]

Oh why does offical need structure caps 😭😢 i just wanna build a dream build with the fun of pve offical

[fading ice]

just nothing else to say here, you have no idea what you are talking about and clearly dont care to learn

[fading ice]

so does everyone else, is the thing

[fluid pier]

🤣

[fading ice]

server would look like 2B2T if there were no caps

[lone yacht]

It is a bit annoying 😭

[fading ice]

nobody would be able to even log in

[fluid pier]

Oh gosh 🤣

[fluid pier]

Wait you mean like half the time as is now

[lone yacht]

And pray tell what are your credentials

[fluid pier]

Stay at home mom i need an out let ark is it when kids are resting

[lone yacht]

I def have rented servers before they arent particularly easy to troubleshoot even with support

[lone yacht]

heheh always nice though!

[fluid pier]

Believe it or not there is some great creators that help with that and any questions as well

YouTube and here

[lone yacht]

Like theres a big difference between installing server software and maintaining something that's a good experience to use.

And equating the two in my mind is just extremely silly

[fluid pier]

It has to be a day my brains working

[lone yacht]

Only have two brain cells to rub together 😭 😭

[fluid pier]

After a day with my kiddos I lucky I have any with the cartoons they like what happened to the good cartoons like when I was a kid

[fading ice]

15 years programming experience, experienced mod developer since near ark's launch, run servers, develop tools, extensive tech support experience for other people's servers and game issues. how about you?

maybe try actually installing the server software before making it's imagined function part of your emotional security

[lone yacht]

Right and do you think your experience reflects the vast majority of users? 😂

[fading ice]

i will leave you to it

[fluid pier]

Hay get in and show them whats what for our server please they need help remove that bot issue

[fading ice]

insert bob cant fix meme. i should probably not talk about what i think it going on there, since it involves a pretty nasty exploit 😂

word of dev is they are working on it, but it is not as simple as hitting the "turn off asparagus bot" button

basically, they are just spamming endless new accounts

[fluid pier]

Lol well bobs being a jerk and needs to let people have global talks lol

[lone yacht]

Nah I dont want the trouble of dealing with it, hence why I pay others to handle it, one cant be an expert on everything 💀

[fluid pier]

🤣🤣🤣

I just wanna game and communicate with our server thats it at least what Bob the asparagus can do is wait every 10 hrs do it once then wait another 10 hrs gesh

Or something just not be so annoying

[fading ice]

at least shoveling them into the volcano is cathartic

[fluid pier]

Heck even let us hunt them on server if we catch them we get a reward or something then start over

[lone yacht]

And put it this way, I may not know much about the details of server architecture or programming as someone with experience in that field would... but anyone should be able to see that if it were as trivial as you are claiming, then services like Nitrado wouldn't be able to sell their product as no one would need them, if anyone can do it themselves in 5 minutes.

Unless I suppose it's just because everyone who does so is an idiot but that just doesn't really make sense to me either.

[strange holly]

Third try! 34 melee pre tame please rnjesus

[burnt ember]

Seriously how are OSDs more bugged here than on Evolved xd

[strange holly]

Woo!!! Finally a decent melee, tamed out with 50 points!

[jovial garnet]

anyone know what the glowing blue rocks on carno island are, in the island

[fading ice]

maybe report a bug instead of writing a thesis about how you are too entitled to report a bug and need the devs to read your alternative bug report that has no actionable info in it anyway

[proven cloak]

Outa here, this isn't helpful

[fair wyvern]

#bug-reports

[proven cloak]

Sorry, I deleted the wrong message by mistake and then the rest.
it was about #unofficial-setup-help message
And I replied that we already filed reports, fom multiple server owners' sides

Anyway, I feel neither reports nor the messages here are heard at all, we just get backlash from people too lazy to read for whatever reason.

[proven cloak]

so, this... I don't want to get grey hair about this, have fun being toxic at other people

[white zodiac]

does official fjordur servers have teleporting on

[astral escarp]

There are no offocial fjordur servers.

[faint raptor]

Tamed tek rex came out at 252 what the wild level

[astral escarp]

175?

[fading ice]

impossible to know without knowing the TE

has to be at least 169?

[faint raptor]

Ok thanks

[proven cloak]

perfect tame always is tamed/1.5-1

[amber hare]

What time frame does king titan usually spawn?

Wandering one i mean

[astral escarp]

Seems random to me. I see it maybe twice a week and never at the same times.

[balmy shard]

Has anyone ever reported a mesh base before? If you tried do they actually get banned or what

[oak steeple]

how do you get the acro to roar

ctrl dosent work at all

[fading ice]

if you gave accurate coords, they get wiped and usually banned

[last tangle]

Vannysark join up

[turbid sapphire]

On the servers list, there's servers named 'consoles' -- how does that work in ASA? Like is there separate servers for console/PC, or are they crossplay etc

for example:
EU-PVP-SmallTribes-Astraeos
NA-PVP-ConsolesSmallTribes-Astraeos

does that mean only Console players can join Consoles server and vice versa?

[astral escarp]

Console servers might be Console only but all others are cross play.

[turbid sapphire]

ah ok, thank you

[wanton anchor]

does anyone wanna Chill and go through and beat all the maps on an unofficial server? Idc how good you are, im 18

[zenith sentinel]

Hey chat, I've never played ascended before but I'm curious what the general reception of it is relative to evolved

It's on sale for $12 and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth that much lol

Like survival evolved sucks but in a fun way, is ascended any better or nah?

[fading ice]

way better graphics and QoL, tons of little improvements. way more demanding graphics, unfinished, can be buggier. crossplay + limited modding on console

[zenith sentinel]

Ahh cool

[fading ice]

if you want to never see a bug, play evolved v358

[zenith sentinel]

Does dlc from evolved transfer over or do I gotta buy it all again

[fading ice]

all evolved DLCs are free in ASA

gen1/2 are not out yet, though

[zenith sentinel]

Ohh cool

Is Astraeos good?

[fading ice]

define good

[zenith sentinel]

Uhh compared to dlc like aberration or extinction

[fading ice]

that does not really mean anything

it is like a mix of ragnarok and fjordur, i guess

bigger than either

[zenith sentinel]

Idk does it fit well with ark's original story or does it feel gimmicky or anything

I'm kinda iffy on playing Genesis or Lost Colony since from what I've seen it seems like it strays pretty far from the original themes of the island and the first couple dlcs from evolved but I'm not totally sure

Maybe I'll just worry about all of that after I've beaten extinction in evolved

[fading ice]

has nothing to do with the story, it is a modmap. genesis and lost colony are directly part of the story

[zenith sentinel]

Ahh makes sense

[silent matrix]

i only got it for the maeguana since its still a whole year for the maewing

[zenith sentinel]

I'm not quite sure what that means

[visual frigate]

astraeos is personally my favorite map, i havent played since the big update to it tho. Maeguana is a creature in it thats just a reskin of the Maewing from ASE, its fast with amazing weight+raises babies.
i'd say its worth it to buy it

[zenith sentinel]

Ahh cool

I'm just not sure what the year thing means

I might not get lost colony for a bit on account of it looking really odd for an ark story thing

[solid peak]

Is the issue of being anti meshed for no reason on lost colony ever going to be fixed? Lost 2 full mutation desmo and griffin to this

[slender spruce]

think recent patch broke alt tabing

[floral imp]

Yall are horrible. this patch just took 15 event reapers from me!!

What the actually F!

[molten oyster]

I like eating cheese and bread

I also enjoy petting street cats and feeding them left overs of my lunch

I also like spinosaurus spinosaurus is so cool

[empty prawn]

Is anybody getting unknown error logging into Astareos?

Other maps work

[signal steeple]

Does anyone know how to fix drakelings being super rare on pc single player? I’ve gone to multiple maps and searched for hours but when using a mod to check spawns there’s none even after doing dinowipes. If anyone knows any solutions it’d help loads!

[wraith patrol]

how does a patch take ur reapers?

[waxen olive]

Why the fuck did my Boat i spent one hour on disappeared? and i drowned even though my head was popped out of water

[teal lance]

Even if you increase the dino count, single player has a cap of spawns and spawns are abnormal

And everything just pauses when you leave

So the same dinos everytime you log back in

[grizzled plank]

Self hosting is not anywhere near as difficult as you or some others think
Theres dozens of guides online that hand hold you from start to finish

[waxen olive]

Guys what is easier to raid a base in middle of ocean or a base in land both are stone and spikes

[bold dock]

only stone and spikes?

[vivid vale]

Both easy as hell, in ocean can be annoying with wild creatures

[waxen olive]

so i am fucked. Cuz i logged after putting 4 spikes on my boat and 8 walls around me and 4 roofs above me

[bold dock]

yeah thats gonna stop nobody

[vivid vale]

You not closed boat with foundations fully?

[waxen olive]

I have 3 foundations under me and 4 qurtar walls cuz i want to be able to steer while inside

So is my base okay?

There no door

Only a cellar door above

[vivid vale]

If boat not fully covered, anyone on pt can waste 10 min to break it fully

[waxen olive]

Its fully covered

0 opening

[vivid vale]

Just pray noone gonna find it, cuz arthropleura is easy to tame

[waxen olive]

uhh dont that exist in desert?

and cant swim?

[vivid vale]

It has no oxygen at all

And easiest way to tame it is drop in deep water

It becoming passive

[waxen olive]

Can i breath on top of it

underwater

[vivid vale]

Underwater no

Arthro just can't drown, but not giving any oxygen

[waxen olive]

How strong is arthro for raiding

and can i breed it for better stats? Last question

[last sedge]

Great fro clearing spam and destroying vaults and cryos

[last sedge]

Breed melee

[vivid vale]

Yea

It eating any structures

[waxen olive]

nice cuz i just found a rathole covered in metal so ima try to raid it

[vivid vale]

I have 106 base melee points arthropleura rn, trying to get eggs with +254 melee mutation points

[last sedge]

Arthros will get destroyed by turrets, they are clean up

[waxen olive]

Where should i breed them

And can i breed them on a boat?

[last sedge]

Sure, will be a pain, but u can breed them

[waxen olive]

In a boat?

[last sedge]

Get a Oviraptor to make collecting the eggs easier

[tawdry birch]

so im on ps5 and always when i aim my bow on a dino it pulls my aim to the middle of the dino and there is a magnet symbol, is there a way to disable that?

[muted portal]

Ye you can disable it in the settings somewhere

[bold dock]

Aim Assist Strength Multiplier in advanced settings

[tawdry birch]

do you know which settings? like advanced or something like that?

oh alright

[carmine monolith]

something that i always thought was an aberration MAP issue.. O.O
why do aberrant creatures not spawn where you aim when you uncryo? why do they "jump" to different location??

[tawdry birch]

tysm guys

[bold dock]

happens to all creatures, not only aberrant. but thanks for reminding me i need some megalos before the tlc hits

[muted portal]

Will probably Take a few months before it releases

[carmine monolith]

on the off chance you mean me, i only ever noticed the cryo kick in aberration, nowhere else ever and never on non aberrant creatures

[muted portal]

Nah it also Happens very often on Baby dinos

[floral imp]

Logged out reapers in my inventory and my tek suit gear. Logged in after patch nd I’m naked in tek pod. No reapers no suit. Thought it was bugged logged out and back in and still naked with nothing on me

[carmine monolith]

i only ever had them kick out of cryo if they are aberrant babies, never on normal ones, just noticed aber gigantoraptors kicking out in LC and they hadnt done it before so it got me wondering

[vivid vale]

All creatures have same

[muted portal]

Are you Sure that Nobody Just stole it ?

[waxen olive]

#fanart-and-screenshots message help

[echo mountain]

Your server probably crashed/reset near when you logged on and it rolled you back to when you were in a pod

[waxen olive]

A deinosuchus above my boat help

[forest plover]

@heavy cedar Fix Aureliax

[floral imp]

I’m the only one in my tribe and it’s on a pve server. Not sure how someone who have stolen

[floral imp]

It was a patch update. I didn’t crash. I logged off when it was going down for maintenance

[echo mountain]

Same idea. Guessing you logged on/transfered to that map and shortly after was the update?

[muted portal]

I have this Sometimes, but when i Type reconnect its all back

[floral imp]

??

[echo mountain]

They dont seem to know what youre talking about

[wet bobcat]

Need a buff for pvp

[muted portal]

Console ?

[floral imp]

PC

[echo mountain]

But 9/10 times, if you log in and your character is in a spot you didnt log out from, it rolled back

[muted portal]

No i mean Open the console

[floral imp]

What console?

[muted portal]

Where you can Type in console commands

[floral imp]

I logged on same spot I logged out. Just no inventory

[muted portal]

Sometimes typing reconnect helps

[floral imp]

Idk where console commands are on pc.

[echo mountain]

Tilde key

Under escape far left by 1

All thats going to do is reconnect you to the server as if you exited out and joined back in though

[floral imp]

No this was a bug or failed patch. Before I logged off 5 mins before server maintenance I had reapers and my tek suit along with random things in my Inventory like blood packs. After the patch and server came up I logged in. Same tek pod but I was naked and only thing in my inventory was blood packs. Like everything didn’t download. So I logged off immediately waited an extra 10 mins. Logged back in and still naked. Deff got arked on 15 event reapers. .

[outer widget]

press or hold H and read the top of the screen or go to the Tracking Panel tab in your inventory and click the Dino Groups section

[coral acorn]

Hey how about fix clipping into other dinos and not focus at all this worthless crap updates that gives NOBODY any more quality of life updates? You have had more than 10 years... Pull yer head outta your ass' WTF

Where can i get charcha saddle bps on ext ? Do they spawn in purple osds ?

[bold dock]

drakeling hoards give them on a regular basis

[hushed sorrel]

i had a question which i need to i play game already a ton but i just dont know how this thing work, I am breeding my deinosuches and i got my first 2 hp mutations one of which had 35 points base hp plus 2 as the mutation, i have another one with 53 points in hp plus the 2 from the mutation, my question now is what would happen if i were to combine them? would the mutation co exist or will it just pick one of the stats and it doesnt work

[abstract karma]

usually you shouldnt breed 2 mutated dinos, take the 53+2 in hp (preferably male) and breed it with a 53 hp female 0 mutations

[bold dock]

it doesnt work, the resulting baby will still have only +2
BUT at the same time the mutation counter doubles which makes it worse

[hushed sorrel]

i already thought this was the case, good to know, i already continued breeding the 53+2 with a 53 hp guess i will continue doing that

[tawdry birch]

is there a way to make the tether distance bigger on ps5?

On Lost Colony, there's a place in the city where the drops keep popping up even when I reload. There's a mana store right next to me, but it only drops me? Is it on the bridge at the end of the city closer, or is it just me? It loads and then drops right away. 247741 -177936 27089 -103.33 0.00

[subtle ore]

can anyone helpo me with pvp

[mild egret]

It’s prob a render issue

[mild egret]

What do you mean

[subtle ore]

im new and i want to learn

like idk what to do

[mild egret]

Like what about PvP specifically this game has a insane amount of information and a steep learning curve 😭

[subtle ore]

idk juust basics

[vale flower]

Best way to learn is just getting out there and playing tbh

Watch a couple yters and how they use different tools and tames to do different jobs

Like vanquish said its a steep learning curve and being behind the curve you will get clapped just not knowing all mechanics so keep that in mind and dont get discouraged

[mild egret]

I’d recommend watching ROTA - Vitality- Kurtis

[subtle ore]

i was watching one and they go to diffrent maps somehow

[vale flower]

Rota is a legend lol

[subtle ore]

i think i know most the basics

[mild egret]

Unofficial YouTubers are bums lol

[vale flower]

Just found kurtis and he is cracked

Hey same game, diff rates lol

[prisma dock]

A friend has the same problem, I can't even leave from these coordinates because it drops right away. 💀

[mild egret]

Yeah ppl like me have been playing this game since before bolas came out so there’s always someone better

In this game everyone started out completely bad

[vale flower]

Ive found that since unofficial is different there are interesting metas that Come from modded servers lol

[mild egret]

Yeah cause they disable half the structures

[vale flower]

Yes ans hard to compete with veterans like you bc you know the game SO well lol

[subtle ore]

what server do i play also

[vale flower]

Bc everything has a counter and so many methods

[mild egret]

Tesla turrets are my favorite and they disable them so I refuse to play it

[vale flower]

Ahh they havent been disabled on the ones I play

[mild egret]

Official is the best tbh

You can find other bobs in global

[subtle ore]

i only can find one pvp officasl

[vale flower]

They have the CS ones that can go into rat holes and shit same for blade wasp

[mild egret]

Make your ark experience

[mild egret]

Unofficial building is so op bruh

[vale flower]

Official is slow progression and unofficial is fast af so u can learn the game quickly and get experience on how things work

[mild egret]

I can triple stack my towers with no structure limit

[vale flower]

Lmao yea it gets wild

[mild egret]

Nah man I gotta disagree this game needs slower to learn

[vale flower]

And laggy 💀

[vale flower]

Okay I can agree with you there

Bc ive played unofficial all my life

[mild egret]

There’s a lot of niche techniques and dinos to use

[vale flower]

And only have learned "unofficial ark"

[vale flower]

Yes this EXACTLY

[mild egret]

Where unofficial basic makes those Dino’s and techniques gone

Which I find unfun

[subtle ore]

how di i get more offivcasls there is only onme pvp na one

[vale flower]

Yes agreed but also I wouldn't say unfun tho bc fun strats pop up that are unconvential

[mild egret]

The one time I played unofficial I was able to raid every base with a quetz and racer and put steam forges on them to block LOS

[vale flower]

Im great at spelling, but like using achatinas to soak rathole entrances 😭💀

[mild egret]

XD

[vale flower]

Ya people arent the brightest

[mild egret]

Yeah this shouldn’t be a thing

[vale flower]

Racer is still very op lol

[mild egret]

Always have been

[vale flower]

Wild isnt it 🤣

[mild egret]

Try official bruh it’s fun cause the stuff you get actually takes effort

Like my group is playing conquest and getting element in big amounts actually feels harder cause we have to convert it all to dust before transfer

[vale flower]

Ok so I have been contemplating it but it seems impossible to get a start. And then when u do u get meshed lol

[subtle ore]

how do u get more officals?

[vale flower]

Refresh lol

[subtle ore]

there is only one pvp one

its na aswell

[mild egret]

Meshing isn’t as bad as it was on ASE

[vale flower]

Yes I can see what u mean from being way more reward8ng for playing the game

[mild egret]

Just don’t play on SE or abb cause horrible maps

[vale flower]

Really? Even on this unofficial cluster people get banned daily for meshing

Yeah abb is horrible

I want to like scorched

[mild egret]

Oh on official I bet I could do it easier then official

[vale flower]

ok that's a fair point

[mild egret]

Also I hate the /shop stuff

Just learn how to tame 🥀

[vale flower]

totally ruins the game imo

[subtle ore]

all my oofficals are pve what can i dooooooooo

[vale flower]

make sure you don't have just pve selected

there is a filter

[mild egret]

Like we were able to early tame a dread and cause of that we got 1 over on the ppl trying to fight us

[subtle ore]

i dont

[mild egret]

Cause they couldn’t get one
