[low island]

best map?

[long flicker]

all of them

[wispy frigate]

Opinion

[low island]

yeah opinion

[undone forge]

Fave map: aberration
Best map for resources and all of that good stuff: genesis 2
Fan fave maps: the island, ragnarok

[wispy frigate]

Ah, but what about worst map

[crisp merlin]

well i want a mod thats reasonable, which there seems to be a lack of, i would like maybe around 250 or 500 on items, not 10000 or 1000

[long flicker]

ooh 145 karkinos right there

[undone forge]

I can understand

[long flicker]

and a 140 cool white bear

[low island]

i didnt enjoy extinction too much, dont bully me

[long flicker]

you can just do that using ini

there's an option to increase stack sie

[crisp merlin]

worst map imo is scorched

[wispy frigate]

Theres stack mods that are fully customizable yknow
You arent forced to do anything

[crisp merlin]

its so bland

[undone forge]

Which one do you guys think is the best mod for stacking rn?

[long flicker]

I love scorched

[undone forge]

Imo the center is way worse

[wispy frigate]

Ofc its bland it was released early

[long flicker]

idk, I don't use any

[outer widget]

SE is really pretty. it's just really small and short

[crisp merlin]

i mean its bland by that its basically just one really big biome, it has like 54 dinos on it

[wispy frigate]

Not really

Its got the dunes, the trench, the mountains, and rivers

Thats about as much variety as gen 2 has

[undone forge]

I mean, it's still desert

[long flicker]

in that case you must hate gen 2

it's just 2 giant biomes with no diversity

[outer widget]

yeah gen2 doesnt have enough biomes. the ones it does have are very nice, tho

[undone forge]

4

[wispy frigate]

5 with space, water and innards

[crisp merlin]

i like extinction cause sure alot of it is empty wasteland but even in the wasteland theres still cool areas aswell as 2 polar opposite biomes, an underground forest, and an urban jungle

[undone forge]

But your point still stands

[long flicker]

those are so small you could barely call it a biome

[low island]

i have my first equess!!!

[long flicker]

nice, horses are nice

[undone forge]

Oh the S.U.M.P too

[low island]

and my first dire bear

[crisp merlin]

what map?

[wispy frigate]

Innards yeah
Space and sump and big tho

[undone forge]

Space is big

[long flicker]

compared to eden, space is pretty small

[wispy frigate]

Its got a ton of height

Just not much width

[undone forge]

Unwide putin

[low island]

woah equess can jump over an entire river

[wispy frigate]

Wait till you see reaper

[long flicker]

wait till you see kangaroo

[outer widget]

the creek in my back yard is bigger than most of the rivers on the island

[undone forge]

Wait till you see the ice titan

[low island]

wait you dont need a saddle to ride equess but you can craft one?

what a waste lmao

[wispy frigate]

Wait till you see purlo- agghahgha

[long flicker]

well, time to mine 50 billion metal by hand

why do karkinos gotta be se expensive

[long flicker]

it's extra protection, not what I'd call a waste

[low island]

idk lol

[long flicker]

I wanted a pack of ravagers before a karkinos so I could use the pack to hunt for hide with ease

[wispy frigate]

Saddle lets you craft mortar and pestle items in it
Plus even a prim saddle is 50% damage resistance, its definitely not a waste

[undone forge]

It gives protection and a mortar, a basic saddle gives 50% protection

[long flicker]

a single ravager doesn't have many options for hunting

[low island]

ohh right

[wispy frigate]

Get other ravagers

[low island]

like an argent saddle?

[crisp merlin]

ravagers have an odd cuteness to them

[wispy frigate]

Yep, but for mortar and pestle instead of smithy

[undone forge]

Ice titan and Manas too

[wispy frigate]

Ice titan? Sus

[crisp merlin]

oh manas are just cute, ice titan idk about that tho

[undone forge]

Dunno why but I would pet an Ice titan

[crisp merlin]

ice titan is more cool than cute

[wispy frigate]

I have a pic of one that I killed and it had no blood and was curled up like it was sleeping

Looked like it died of natural causes lol
Definitely not me slaughtering it with my drake

[crisp merlin]

i have a mod that adds abberation dinos to other maps so i may try and find a ravager

[wispy frigate]

Oof waste of a mod

[crisp merlin]

why?

[low island]

omg dire bears wave when you level them up

that's adorable

[wispy frigate]

You can do that with ini

[crisp merlin]

ok

[undone forge]

They are evolving

[low island]

lloll

[crisp merlin]

i dont feel like going into settings and programming where i find them, i would much rather have it be done for me with a mod

[wispy frigate]

W/e, just more load time and more lag

[long flicker]

"programming"

it's a single number

[long flicker]

I LOVE bear level up animation

[wispy frigate]

Its so cute

[long flicker]

oh you were talking about spawn ini
I thought you were talkng about the stack size

[crisp merlin]

yeah

[low island]

omg dire bears are so fast

[long flicker]

spawn ini isn't that much either, just a lot of copy paste, with a few changes here and there

I learnt it from eclipse a while ago
am yet to actually use it :P

[long flicker]

once they charge up they run real fast

if they could jump then they'd make for a pretty good aberration mount

of course you can't expect something as massive as a bear to jump

[crisp merlin]

god why the fuck does a osds make such a load noise when it lands

then it plays some annoying ass tune

[long flicker]

it's meant to be an asteroid or smth

[long flicker]

don't you dare call ark music annoying

[crisp merlin]

oh god dont get me started on the menu theme

[long flicker]

it gets annoying after listening to it for hours waiting for the game to load, but it's still damn good

[long flicker]

can't find any
That's the issue

[crisp merlin]

when i played abb i always found them in the big valley near the starting area

[long flicker]

they're normally everywhere, but I can't find any good levels rn

[crisp merlin]

sure love it when a megatherium gets high on bug and KOs my ass

[wispy frigate]

You have cdl
You can’t complain about not finding good lvls

[long flicker]

hey it's true!

I mean there's barely any ravagers at al near me

[wispy frigate]

Usually they’re attracted to me like a dog and peanut butter

[long flicker]

yeah

why does green zone give so much pelt when it's so damn hot

[crisp merlin]

green zone isnt that hot :tf:

[long flicker]

I'm always hot in there, unless I'm wearing cloth armour or smth

[crisp merlin]

have you ever been to the surface?

[long flicker]

since when is the surface part of the green zone

it's a whole different biome

[crisp merlin]

i know, im just saying, green zone isnt that hot

[low island]

guys how do i get higher level gear?

[crisp merlin]

beacons or alphas

[low island]

like journeyman and master craft and stuff

[long flicker]

if there's something hotter then are we not allowed to call something else hot

[crisp merlin]

yes

[low island]

ive killed a few alpha megs, ive only gotten a few ramshackle gear

[long flicker]

I can't call a desert hot, the surface of the sun is 6000 C!
I can't call the surface of the sun hot, the core is millions of degrees

[crisp merlin]

that is true

[long flicker]

and the sun isn't that hot compared to some other stars

[low island]

it def isnt compared to joe

[long flicker]

ah yes, joe
my favourite star

[low island]

joe mama

[formal horizon]

hello

[outer widget]

lol it's funny because your mom is hot

[low island]

finally someone gets it

[long flicker]

when a fuckingl evel 60 ravager does more damage than my level 200 one

[crisp merlin]

what the heck, is there a way to unlock all tekgrams? did i like accidentaly click it?

[long flicker]

do you have the ini option "auto unlock engrams" enabled?

[crisp merlin]

i do but i didnt think that would make tekgrams automatically unlocked

[low island]

i think im ready to start taming boss fighters

[long flicker]

it does, yeah

[low island]

which one do you guys recommend?

im thinking a giga

[long flicker]

it's prety bad, I used to use it but now I Use mods instead

[outer widget]

giga cant go into boss arena

[long flicker]

gigas aren't allowed in boss fight

[low island]

what

[long flicker]

it's too big

[low island]

no it is, in ark's lore li mei yin took it into the arena

[crisp merlin]

deinonychus are good if youre on valg

[long flicker]

yes, I know

[low island]

im on the island

[outer widget]

yeah mei is a big cheater

[long flicker]

in ark's lore mei yin also tamed a fucking drake

[outer widget]

everyone knows allready

[low island]

:/

[low island]

the rapper?

[long flicker]

rapper?

[low island]

like the guy who performed sicko mode with travis scott

[crisp merlin]

you can transfer arks to get them, valg is a free dlc, transferring arks is actually quite easy

[long flicker]

anyway,
rexes are a pretty basic these days

[low island]

bob, explain.

[long flicker]

theris are a good choice
megalos are good if you don't mind being able to do bossfight nly during hte night

[long flicker]

explain what

[low island]

nvm

[long flicker]

I suggest theris, but others can work too

[low island]

@crisp merlin my opinion

[outer widget]

theris or megalos are my favorite. cute and fluffy and not too big

[crisp merlin]

how, is it cheating??

what??

[low island]

it's my opinion

dont even try it, ive had this arguement already.

[long flicker]

it's not cheating, you just don't want to do it

[crisp merlin]

respectfully, that makes literally no sense

[long flicker]

and lost the argument too

you don't need to add respectfully lol

[long flicker]

it's fine if you don't wanna but don't call it cheating

[low island]

i miss perry smh

[outer widget]

if it breaks the rules of their playthrough it is cheating for them

[long flicker]

damn I fought 3 ravagers and my ravager's already at half hp

[low island]

thanks

[long flicker]

calling it cheating is the same as calling everyone who does it a cheater

they never added "in my specific playthrough"

ughh there's so many stegos here that I want to kill
I need to hurry up and get a ravager pack going

[low island]

maybe stop complaining and do it then lol

[outer widget]

tame the steggos!

[low island]

eh

[long flicker]

crossing the sentence does't suddenly make it funny

[crisp merlin]

based

[long flicker]

nah, I got no need for them

[low island]

do alpha carno drop any good high tier stuff

[crisp merlin]

duh

[long flicker]

depending on their level, they can drop some decent shit

higher levels drop better shit

[low island]

lvl 9

[long flicker]

but that's true for all alphas, not just carnos

[steady trout]

Hey Guys this is Tobias - Ive been on Island Rag and now crystal. How are you all

[long flicker]

not sure why you started by giving your real name but ok

[low island]

it's lvl 9

[low island]

lol true

[long flicker]

how on earth do you have level 9 dinos
I Thought you made max level 150

[low island]

perhaps i turned it off

[long flicker]

you can't tame bossfighters if you did that

[low island]

oh. what a shame.

i guess leveling them up myself is just not an option

[long flicker]

ffs

leveling them up yourself isn't the same as finding high levels

[outer widget]

if you have single player settings turned on the bosses are extra easy so it might be ok

[long flicker]

well yeah but even with sp settings you'd want high level dinos if you're doing the bosses

[low island]

is it wrong to just want an organic, difficult ark experience

[long flicker]

yes

you literally can't do the bosses with low levels

it's not difficult, it's impossible

well, unless you find it more fun to mutate for 2 months

[low island]

yes, i do.

therefore that's what im going to do.

[long flicker]

alright
don't blame me if you quit ark because you got bored

[low island]

oh dont worry i wont

[outer widget]

the bosses scale with difficulty setting, so it will probably be fine. if you're on difficulty 1 just aim for level 25-30 dinos

[long flicker]

they don't, actually

[low island]

im on difficulty 0.2 i think

[long flicker]

there's a lot of myths and stuff revolving around bosses, but as far as I'm aware the bosses barely change with change in difficulty

[low island]

offset im not sure

[crisp merlin]

thief birds >:(

[long flicker]

higher difficulty makes the game easier

[outer widget]

that is true

[long flicker]

ark logic be like

[low island]

it does, but i like a challenge.

[long flicker]

and idk about you but I don't think spending a month mutating rexes from 20 points to 80 points over the span of 2 months is what I call "difficult and fun"

it's just boring and pointless

[low island]

exactly, you dont know about me.

maybe i find something like that fun.

[long flicker]

you don't even know what mutating is

[low island]

ill learn

[long flicker]

let me ask, do you like staring at a microwave that's set for 2 hours?

[low island]

sure

[long flicker]

you can't leave it, you need to sit down and look at it

[agile quest]

Ain’t no one know how to answer my bob problem 😭

[low island]

idm

[long flicker]

alright
now do this, all day, 5 times a day, for a few months

there ya go, you got what mutations feel like

[low island]

alright, maybe ill enjoy it

[outer widget]

stacking mutations is my least favorite part of ark.

[long flicker]

I use slomo so I don't need to spend 50 hours looking at a dino's ass

[outer widget]

I like getting my stats together for a line then once I get like 7 muts I just quit and start taming something else

[long flicker]

yeah that's why I use slomo, otherwise I'd quit too quickly

[outer widget]

there is a mod that just adds a chair to single player and when you sit in the mod chair it puts high slomo. it's really funny for an idea, but I dont use it

[long flicker]

but having to mutate more isn't making it more difficult, only more annoying and more time consuming

[long flicker]

ye I've heard of that mod
But I Think I'll just use normal slomo anyway

[low island]

thylacoleo is down

[crisp merlin]

why did an entire pack of hyenas spawn right next to my base, i just started this ark so i have no dino to fight them

[low island]

lol rip

[long flicker]

I wanna do something productive as this metal's smelting but there's nothing to tame here

oh I know, lemme get some white dye as I'm waiting; then I can start using glowsticks

I had to make a waterskin; this better be worth it

yooo 145 carno and a 135 ravager next to each other

carno down, but it took my ravager to half health

[low island]

omg thylacoleo taming with prime meat is soooo slow

[outer widget]

yeah you should use cooked mutton

or just start kibble farm

[low island]

ovis are rare on the island

[long flicker]

you're meant to use kibble for them

[low island]

pm works, ive been sitting here for 10 mins and she's alr 50%

[long flicker]

I just killed a sheep for no reason; I forgot that I had some mutton in storage

[long flicker]

look at the taming effectiveness and you'll know what I mean

[low island]

idm, i can level her up myself

[long flicker]

that's not the point

[low island]

90% taming effective ness

[long flicker]

levelling it up yourself is still weaker

[low island]

• 4 levels

[low island]

ok and?

[long flicker]

did you tame a random ass low level?

[low island]

im just gonna use her for transport

[low island]

so what if i did?

[long flicker]

ffs

[low island]

it's my playthrough

i can play how i want.

lol caps

[scarlet ginkgo]

When start classic 😦

[crisp merlin]

LIKE 7 HYENAS are staying around my base and AGGGGGGGHHH

[low island]

their tiny arent they?

[crisp merlin]

NO

[outer widget]

you gotta get naked and let them chase you away from your base

[long flicker]

you're going to a restaurant further away with worse and more expensive food than a restaurant that's closer to you
don't blame me to want to fix that

[long flicker]

they're damn vicious

[crisp merlin]

what do you think im trying to do

[scarlet ginkgo]

I want play classic offical

[low island]

i never did blame you.

[long flicker]

everything you say makes it look like you are

[low island]

assumptions, assumptions.

[long flicker]

assumptions aren't illegal

[low island]

never said they are, im just saying they can be wrong.

[silent matrix]

damn let him play like he wants jesus

[low island]

thanks schlong

[long flicker]

alright man
just don't expect me to answer any of your questions

[low island]

he's been doing this for weeks lol, i even tried his way once it was just not fun

[low island]

i dont, i expect perry to.

[crisp merlin]

check #fanart-and-screenshots to see my current situation

[outer widget]

they just want a little bit of food

[silent matrix]

I kind of want the same experience, but in difficulty and not time spent, i think the game should be challenging

[low island]

what bob told me to do when i asked what i should upgrade on my allo

what perry told me to upgrade

[silent matrix]

hello

[low island]

therefore im just gonna ask perry for help

[long flicker]

I'm speaking from experience

and there's a way to turn pings off, use it

[silent matrix]

allos for what? bosses?

[long flicker]

for general usage

[low island]

general use

[long flicker]

it was a low ass level, no point in taming or using low levels

[silent matrix]

I mean yeah kind of its more worth it going for higher

[long flicker]

I can't give you the stat to upgrade if all stats are so low that they can't even fight a raptor pack

let's say it had 5k health
I'd tell you to get health to 10k, then pump everythign into melee

but it had like 1k health or something

[low island]

if you would've just said that id pump up the health

[long flicker]

because I need to know the health stat to be able to tell you how much to pump into it

if it's so low then there's no point in levelling it

[silent matrix]

you done ragnarok bosses?

[low island]

chess and a pigeon... chess and a pigeon

[silent matrix]

im on rag now and im breeding rexes for the bosses, ive never done them before

[long flicker]

hmm I haven't seen people do rag bosses, but it should be pretty straightforward

dragon and manticore,
any bossfighter should do the trick

[silent matrix]

i dont really have a lot of experience fighting bosses so its a bit scary

[outer widget]

and rag doesnt have the same problems as val with the manticore never wanting to land. rag arena is really neat

[long flicker]

nor do I
but I've people do it, I know the strategies and stats required
still, experience is the best thing to ask from lol

hmm this ravager is 135
I'd breed it with my other ravager but I doubt either of them have any good stats

[outer widget]

an imprinted ravager would be good for you even if the stats arent great

[silent matrix]

amazing spyglass go brrr

[long flicker]

yeah, but I don't really need one too badly

[long flicker]

no it's not about the stats, I can just use DSv2 for stats

it's just that I don't think I should start breeding rn

but I also need a ravager pack already

and trying to find high levels is proving to be a little difficult

[silent matrix]

you on abberation?

[long flicker]

ye

I'm basing on aberration, foreign dinos are allowed but I'm not going to exploit that

[low island]

yay first thylacoleo

[silent matrix]

thylas are my fav creature

always take so much work to get the kibble though

[long flicker]

eyy 4 obsidian this earthquake, nice

[low island]

i hope their as good as people make them out to be

[silent matrix]

thylas?

[low island]

yeah

[silent matrix]

they're amazing

[long flicker]

*they're

[silent matrix]

um

[long flicker]

they're pretty good, I'll probably get one for scorched

[silent matrix]

it's soo fun breeding and mutating thylas

[low island]

i can cryopod it to take it back to base or i can hold it in my argent's claws and tame something else and put it in the cryopod

[long flicker]

still wondering if I should get them from scorched or gen 2

[low island]

which should i go for?

[long flicker]

argies can pick up thylas?

could've sworn they changed that

[silent matrix]

yeah they can now

[low island]

lol they have beaver teeth

[silent matrix]

i always go to the desert area on rag and pick it up and throw it in the cage

[long flicker]

yeah but now gen 2 exists

and gen 2 thylas look damn good

ugh I dreading that point when I'll have to tame a karkinos
I wanna do it as soon as I ahve a ravager pack ready

[silent matrix]

haven't played gen 1 nor 2, my computer couldn't handle them lol, getting a new one soon

[long flicker]

oof that sucks
yeah gen 2 is really resource heavy

[low island]

i have a level 50 barynoyx with 2k health and nearly 300 melee damage

should i take it into a cave?

[long flicker]

I'm completely out of hide

[crisp merlin]

why do hyenas kill humans on sight but ignore mostly everything else including dodos

[low island]

i found it at level 35 and ive been leveling it up

[silent matrix]

baryonyx are really good in caves, the level is kinda low it might die

[low island]

ill go for level 70

[long flicker]

fuck I've been killing this 150 parasaur

I think I'll let it go
150 is 150, even if it's a parasaur

[silent matrix]

yeah might work if you're careful

[silent matrix]

good in the start

a 150 para directly is good af

[long flicker]

I mean I Don't really need it, so idk if I should tame it

doesn't have the best of colours; and I want to go for tek if I mutat parasaurs

eyy carno's tamed

I'm fucking 5 hide short

NOOO I just killed a 150 lystro

why didn't I check its level first, I Could've tamed it

[low island]

what should i upgrade on my thyla? 700 health, 480 stam, 160 melee

[crisp merlin]

hp

[low island]

done

[crisp merlin]

sometimes ark is fun game. other time it makes me want to pull my balls off

[long flicker]

that's just every game

carno acquired

[crisp merlin]

but ark especially

[long flicker]

114 damage, not the worst

[crisp merlin]

so many "fuck you" moments in ark

[long flicker]

a lot of other games have those moments

Though ark does have them pretty often, ngl

[outer widget]

not pokemon

[long flicker]

flashbacks to karkinos taming

[crisp merlin]

when i was taming karkinos i had a platform, a boulder, and the will to live

[long flicker]

well, now all I need is a male carno and I can breed up an imprinted one

I wanna get an imprinted carno, it'd be pretty useful for defending the base

[long flicker]

I have traps and stuff but karkinos just suck balls

[outer widget]

do you base in blue zone?

[long flicker]

nah, green zone

but as a dude in cloth armour, I need as much protection as i can get

it's only a temporary base, evnetually I'll move to the edge of the green one

[crisp merlin]

people actually manage to make bases in the blue zone?

so many nameless that it doesnt seem like itd be worth it

[long flicker]

with the tek forcefield, I think

[outer widget]

my main base is in blue zone overlooking the red

[crisp merlin]

how do you keep the nameless away?

[outer widget]

I'm high enough near the ceiling. nameless dont spawn above a certain level

[crisp merlin]

hmm

[long flicker]

uhh where the fuck did my ravager go

oh it's on the ceiling lol

[crisp merlin]

i hate pack dinos that swarm you, like hyenas, nameless, raptors, etc

[low island]

my thyla doesnt want to climb stuff

[crisp merlin]

it has to jump onto them

[long flicker]

ah man now we're talking

[low island]

oh right thanks

[long flicker]

the doubel damage that the pack alpha does is so nice

[low island]

woah this is awesome

this is like having a flier but on land

[long flicker]

that's drakes

[low island]

my thyla is also taking like no fall damage

[crisp merlin]

drakes are just glorified deinons

[long flicker]

hey, I like drakes ;-;

I mean I guess I also like deinons

[outer widget]

drakes came first

[long flicker]

though in terms of climbing I like the enforcer

[crisp merlin]

i was joking

[long flicker]

they're needlessly expensive but still fun

[low island]

does thylacoleo C attack serve any purpose?

[outer widget]

drakes and magmas are my favorite ark critters

[crisp merlin]

i think it can make fliers fall

[long flicker]

mine would be maewings and argies, probably

and ravagers, I love tamed ravagers

[low island]

ahhhh right

thyla is now 900 health

how far should i go?

[crisp merlin]

my favorite dino is therizino

[low island]

can thyla's climb up the red wood trees?

[crisp merlin]

yes

[low island]

cooooool

decently fast underwater too

[silent matrix]

and they're really powerful

so they're good at all aspects

[undone forge]

A shadowmane VS 5 lions

[low island]

im having a hard time getting it to climb, it usually just awkwardly slides off the walls

[undone forge]

Who wins

[silent matrix]

yeah the surface has to be close to 90 degrees

for it to climb its not as a magalainia but thyla is faster

[undone forge]

Note: a shadowmane is way bigger, stronger, faster than any lion ever

[jovial citrus]

And has build in armor.

[undone forge]

Only tamed ones

[silent matrix]

it has to be really close to 90 degrees or it will slide or loose grip

[undone forge]

We talkin wild v wild

[low island]

ohh right

ohhhh you have to hold space

for it to climb

oh my god this is awesome

[silent matrix]

thought you figured that out already hahhaa

[low island]

lol i didnt

[silent matrix]

but yeahy

[low island]

escaping alphas is gonna be so easy now

[silent matrix]

when you know how to control it its the best thing

[low island]

yeah

do creatures in ark just take 0 fall damage as long as you fall in water?

[long flicker]

hmm should I go for R or regular dinos
R dinos look prettier but more complex patterns make my brain not function

[low island]

well ive got a new ground mount

[outer widget]

you can also just dismount right before you hit the ground and take no damage

[low island]

what is an r dino

[long flicker]

or maybe aberrants
don't look as pretty but they can look pretty good with their glowy bits

[outer widget]

ab megalos are the best

[long flicker]

what other megalos would you go for, lol

[low island]

what's an r dino

[outer widget]

vanilla

a texture variant from gen2

[low island]

ahh right

[outer widget]

they have pretty minor stat differences from their other versions, but mostly they are just pretties

[low island]

@silent matrix sorry for the ping, but how much health should i go for on the thyla?

im on 1000 health rn

[silent matrix]

what level is it?

[low island]

17

[silent matrix]

you should pump it to like 4-5k

[long flicker]

that'd take like 60 levels

there'd be no levels left for melee

[low island]

alright sure

[long flicker]

unless acer plays with sp settings I guess

[silent matrix]

17 is kind of low for any creature, you should go a bit higher at least

[jovial citrus]

It's a starting mount. Don't use it to fight.

[long flicker]

as I always say (and get ignored because "iT'S mY PlAyStYle aNd I cAn PLaY HoWeVEr I WaNt")
Low level dinos are worthless

[low island]

the rest of the thylas i could see were surrounded by an alpha carno

[silent matrix]

you have an argy yes?

you can snatch it and throw it in a cage

[low island]

yeah i do, i just didnt want to risk it

[silent matrix]

it doesnt kill ur mount that fast even if high level

[low island]

i didnt know that

im still kinda new, this is like my second week

but when i find a breeding partner ill be sure to do that

[silent matrix]

yeah, practice taming on lower levels

[jovial citrus]

Anything below lvl 100 is generally not worth taming for anything but cannon fodder.

[low island]

is level 80 considered high level

[long flicker]

I prefer practicing on spawned in dinos

[low island]

cuz one of my argents is level 80

[silent matrix]

what difficulty u on?

[long flicker]

spawn in max level, spawn in some gear, and try to tame it
gives good practice on how to trap it and stuff

[jovial citrus]

That's fine. Argys are more travel and capture mounts anyway. You usually do not fight with them.

[low island]

0.2 i think, i didnt mess with any difficulty settings

[long flicker]

ya kidding? argies are great for fighting

[low island]

i just wanted a challenging organic experience

[long flicker]

I have no idea what organic is supposed to mean

[silent matrix]

lol my argy was 140 tame level and i pumped it to 2300 melee

[jovial citrus]

Polymer

[long flicker]

jesus christ how boosted do you play

[silent matrix]

its not boosted at all or i dont think it is

[long flicker]

2300 melee is definitely boosted

[low island]

organic as in nothing changed or messed with

[long flicker]

you do realise that official servers, which is about as "organic" as you can get, also have max level at 150

[low island]

ok and?

[long flicker]

singleplayer has fucked up levels because it's not looked after as well

[jovial citrus]

I said usually. Why would you use an Argy? If you want a flying mount that can fight use a wyvern or something. The only thing an Argy has above them is availability.

[long flicker]

I just wanted a challenging organic experience

[silent matrix]

wyverns are better i know, but for transporting metal and resources argies and quetzals are good

[low island]

ok and?

[long flicker]

argies are pretty damn good at fighting tho, especially for how easy they are to get

[long flicker]

I don't even know what that's supposed to mean

[long flicker]

takes me 5 minutes to tame a max level

[long flicker]

did you forget how to read or something

[long flicker]

and they aren't too hard to find, considering how common they are

[low island]

was that supposed to be an insult?

[jovial citrus]

Which is why I said I use them mostly for transport or capturing. They are valuable, but there are better alternatives.

[long flicker]

no, it's supposed ot be a question

[long flicker]

well obviously there are
but especially early game, argies can be pretty valuable

[low island]

idk how many times i have to say this, just let me play however i want

[silent matrix]

true

[long flicker]

won't stop me from trying otherwise

and saying "let me play how I want"
won't hide the flawed logic you're using

[jovial citrus]

They are. They are usually one of my first tames. They are great for getting you going.

[long flicker]

they're a little slow but their other abilities make up for it

the perfect taming and gathering assist

[silent matrix]

cmon man we've all been there

[long flicker]

I mean I guess I have
I just regret not changing my max level sooner

would've saved me time

[low island]

i just blocked the word i cant use

[long flicker]

not sure what that's supposed to mean

[long flicker]

though for travelling I'd rather use something else
argies are too slow for me, I'm impatient

[silent matrix]

wyverns are great for it

[long flicker]

after I learnt of maewings even wyverns feel too slow lmao

[jovial citrus]

They are the fastest for what they can carry. Well, if you have no quetz available that is.

[silent matrix]

what are meawings abilities?

[long flicker]

it glides ridiculously fast

[jovial citrus]

If you want speed get a Griffin.

[outer widget]

and milk rain

[long flicker]

maewings are faster lol

[outer widget]

yeah maewing op

[low island]

this climbing ability is so handy, i can easily take on anything i want and if it starts getting hairy just run away

[long flicker]

griffins are nice, but these days I prefer snow owls

they're a little easier to tame at least

[jovial citrus]

Are they if you use the speed boost effectively?

[long flicker]

well yeah, maewing's my main travel mount

[silent matrix]

is snowowls a ko tame?

[long flicker]

yeah, it is

[long flicker]

and I've used griffins a lot in the past
I can safely say that maewings are faster

[silent matrix]

is exclusive to extinction though

[long flicker]

and gen 2

[silent matrix]

yeah and that, not my maps really but i plan to get there

[long flicker]

oh btw, get a role
#role-assignment

[long flicker]

I really like the vibe of extinction, and gen 2 is a pretty map

but I'm not very fond of how easy gen 2 is

[low island]

schlong do u think i can take on a level 5 alpha raptor

1k health 160 melee

[long flicker]

I wouldn't bother

64 damage is too low to kill an alpha raptor

[silent matrix]

with the thyla?

[low island]

yeah

[silent matrix]

dont risk it it will really suck to loose it

[low island]

oki

[silent matrix]

but you could make it low on health with your guns, and then jump in and kill it with the thyla

for levels

drop like a dodo next to it and it will eat it forever

[long flicker]

it sucks when you think that alpha is just a little too high to start shooting it and end up killing it with my dino

[long flicker]

5 minutes, actually

[low island]

my longneck is pretty low durability

[long flicker]

after that the body should despawn

[low island]

it'll probably break

[low island]

yeah it's doing that rn

i wanna kill it for the high level gear

[silent matrix]

really? damn...scary to think of how many times i could've died to it

[long flicker]

did you forget what I Told you like a few hours ago

[silent matrix]

you won't get much high quality equipment with your difficulty settings

[long flicker]

indeed

and alpha loot is based on the alpha's level

[low island]

mmm true

[silent matrix]

what map u on?

[low island]

the island

should i wait until i can take on caves for better gear?

[silent matrix]

thats an option

[long flicker]

oh that reminds me, I should go alpha hunting on the island

[lofty isle]

yooo

[long flicker]

using an engram quality crossbow sucks ass

[low island]

ok ill do that

[lofty isle]

what are you guys talking about

[low island]

nm

[long flicker]

loot and stuff

[low island]

just my first tamed thyla

[lofty isle]

ok

[silent matrix]

I always use the ice cave on rag to get ascendat loot and blueprints

[long flicker]

the iceworm one?

[silent matrix]

yeah, but before you go into the deathworm area

like the big room

[long flicker]

yeah I got it

I'll probably get a few of the desert drops too

[low island]

what're the quality levels again?

[silent matrix]

theres like 4 or 5 loot crates there

[long flicker]

you know, google exists

[low island]

it goes ramshackle - apprentice - journey man - mastercraft - ascendant right

[long flicker]

I'm thinking of doing the swamp cave for loot, I want allo saddles

hoping to do the island bosses using allos
even the dragon, maybe

swamp cave gives allo saddles iirc

wrong copy paste

[lofty isle]

copy pasta

[low island]

lol

[silent matrix]

lol its just from the wiki

[lofty isle]

copy pasta

[long flicker]

yes, you copied the wrong wiki page

[silent matrix]

shiet

[low island]

mmm... pasta

im gonna go get some brb

[lofty isle]

mm

i wished aswell

[long flicker]

hmm get more ravagers or tame a karkinos

tough choice

[smoky badge]

Eny servers wiping today?

[frank smelt]

so is it possible to get a dinosaur to kind of go out and harvest on its own? without attacking things like brontos and things it cant possibly kill?

[low island]

is a level 20 thylacoleo better to take in the artifact of the hunter cave or should i take a level 21 baryonyx?

[undone forge]

For that cave a high lvl bary would be best

A lvl 20 of anything is gonna die

[low island]

welp too late im already in

[undone forge]

Use bothhh

[low island]

ok ill go back to base bring my thyla over

but ill ride the baryonyx

or should i ride the thyla? @undone forge

[jovial citrus]

I would advise against taking an unridden Dino with you. If sh*t goes down you might be able to escape. Your tame probably won't.

[low island]

wouldnt?

or would?

[jovial citrus]

You know how ark AI handles in general? Add caves to that and you're set for disaster.

[low island]

my difficulty is one like 0.2

wild dinos for me are like level 3, level 4

25 on a good day.

btw there is loot in the caves right?

im looking for higher level gear.

[jovial citrus]

There is. There is also max level enemies in there.

[low island]

hmmm. alright

thank you for your help

[jovial citrus]

Caves in general are good for loot, but will probably take a bit of preparation. I can't exactly judge the strength of your tames as I never played with levels that low, sorry.

Go in. Fight a few critters, see how it goes.

[low island]

i did, i fought like 3 megalania

my baryonyx took like 30 damage

i seem to have lost the entrance to the cave brb

[jovial citrus]

Be careful and be mindful of where you are. If in doubt, get out.

[low island]

ok found it

[low island]

will do.

btw what like shape will the loot be in?

will it be in like storage boxes?

or just laying on the ground

sorry this is my first cave

[jovial citrus]

There should be loot drops in there, can't exactly miss them. On the island they look like the normal nodes outside iirc. Which level are you btw?

[low island]

78

[idle shell]

u will see the artifat flying there press ur open button and takr i

[low island]

sure

ok im entering the cave

ive come to a bit where the walls are pulsing with a weird light

and there's an intersection, should i go left or right

[jovial citrus]

Now that I think about it.. if the max level is 30 you can probably go in there in foot with flak armor and a sword and be good. 🤔

[silent matrix]

Left in hunter

[junior mirage]

wtf i came back to base and a Troodon was fighting with a iguanodon but suddenly the troodon decided to go for me instead of keep fighting with the iguanodon

[low island]

im looking for the loot

so i should go left?

[silent matrix]

Right

[low island]

ok ill go right.

[silent matrix]

Delta male troodon

[low island]

it seems awfully bare

there's no arthropleura, araneo nothing

[silent matrix]

Theres a piranha infested lake with a loot crate at the bottom

[low island]

kaprosuchus dossier tho

[low island]

ill use my baryonyx to take them out

[silent matrix]

Theres also sarcos

[low island]

yeah i see the lake ur talking about

[junior mirage]

What do you mean with Delta male troodon? more like gamesniping troodon

[low island]

errr any other loot in here? dont wana risk that

[silent matrix]

Idk

[low island]

oh my god my bary made a pooping sound it was so terrifying

[low island]

there's 2 lakes here

[frank smelt]

guys why is there no pteranadons on my island anymore. i couldnt walk two steps without running into one in the past

[low island]

im not sure which one i should go in

[silent matrix]

U might of killed off the spawns

[frank smelt]

@silent matrix what does that mean? ive never killed one

[silent matrix]

U dont know what I mena

[junior mirage]

wow and another Troodon sniping me wtf

[silent matrix]

Sniper gaming

[karmic sail]

Troodon are afraid of fire

[frank smelt]

guys why are there no pteranadons anymore, there used to be plenty on my island

[silent matrix]

Did u build there?

If so how much

[frank smelt]

we did build on the island but they used to spawn all over it

[low island]

no luck in one of the lakes

[silent matrix]

How big

[frank smelt]

like

5x5 1 floor

[silent matrix]

Yea u killed spawns

[low island]

oh my god pirahnas are so stupid

i got a tail of them following me went out and they all jumped out of the water and died

[frank smelt]

but there are brontosaurusus and stuff

[silent matrix]

Dosent matter how big the creature is

[frank smelt]

im just saying other things are still spawning. anyways do i have to destroy the whole house or what

[silent matrix]

They could have another spawn point nearby too

For the brontos

[silent matrix]

Theres Petra's elsewhere

[low island]

hey man i looked in both the pirhana infested lakes, and i still dont see any artifacts or anything

[silent matrix]

Bottom of lake? If so then no loot in the cave probs

Theres always a loot crate down there

[low island]

omg i found a dossier and leveled up my thyla 9 levels

went from 1k health to 2k

[silent matrix]

Nice

[low island]

6 more levels lmao these dossiers are amazing

i found another much much bigger lake, im gonna see if there's anything in this one

[silent matrix]

Might be the one

[low island]

lmao i love spawn killing these pirahanas

nope still nothing

ill go back up to the intersection and go the other way

[silent matrix]

Wow idk them

[low island]

still, no critters in this cave, no spiders, no arthropleura nothing

[silent matrix]

The artifact was right when u were at the intersection

[low island]

just pirahanas

[silent matrix]

Usually loot is left

[low island]

hmmm

eh the artifact would be decent enough

[silent matrix]

U have to go prone to get to it there could be spider in there u need to kill

[low island]

found the artefact :D

[silent matrix]

Nice

[low island]

oh no it's a loot crate

[silent matrix]

Hunter cave done

Oh

[low island]

and what horrific stuff is inside here, a ramshackle wooden club.

that's literally all there was

[silent matrix]

Yeah there isnt good loot unless ur in the hard caves

U need to do the swamp cave for good loot

[low island]

what are these spawns

another club and a scorpion saddle

[silent matrix]

Yeah I forgot to tell u the drops are trash in hunter cave

[low island]

bruh moment

i came to a little lip that my dinos cant get thru so i have to crouch thru

the walls are pulsing a lot LOT more.

i see the artifact

[frank smelt]

i knocked out a pteranodon and put raw meat in its inventory but its not getting tame

anyone know why

[idle shell]

it takes time

like does it say taming 0%?

[silent matrix]

U have to wait for it's food bar to go down

[frank smelt]

oh it takes so long

[low island]

well at least i got the artifact there's literally nothing else here

[idle shell]

yes

[silent matrix]

1 raw meat= 50 food

[low island]

AHH

i heard a weird creepy crawly sound and it spit at me and broke my ghillie chest plate

[frank smelt]

so i should just shoot it with more arrows to keep it asleep?

[silent matrix]

Tahts an arthro

[silent matrix]

NO

[frank smelt]

how do i do it then

[silent matrix]

Use narcotics

[frank smelt]

dont have any on meeee

[silent matrix]

Do u have any narcotics? U feed the Petra narcotics to keep it asleep

[low island]

well there goes all my armour lol

[long flicker]

get more berries

[low island]

at least i got some excitement

[long flicker]

there's berries everywhere

[silent matrix]

Narco berrios can work

[long flicker]

marco

what dino is it

[signal wren]

how do I play with my friend? Im on PC hes on Xbox

[silent matrix]

oof

[long flicker]

simple
you can't

[signal wren]

but its crossplay

[silent matrix]

Cross play servers perhaps?

[long flicker]

you're on win10?

[silent matrix]

Get on same server

[signal wren]

yes

[signal wren]

cant find server

[long flicker]

yeah then you can play together

[frank smelt]

i gave it one its not getting more unconcsious

[signal wren]

where

[silent matrix]

Exept it is

[signal wren]

what servers have crossplay?

[long flicker]

win 10 and Xbox can play, but steam and xbox or epic games and xbox can't

[low island]

you have to force feed it

[long flicker]

you should be able to have a non dedi

[low island]

im assuming you knew that.

[silent matrix]

1 narco berries = 7.5 torpor

[long flicker]

which dino is it

[frank smelt]

how do i force feed it

[silent matrix]

Click on it

[low island]

put the berry in it's inventory and press e

[long flicker]

put it in inventory and click on the "use" button

[low island]

while hovering over it

[silent matrix]

Hes on xbox which its rt

[long flicker]

y'all just ignore me

[silent matrix]

Ptera

[long flicker]

shouldn't need that many narcoberries then

[low island]

welp that was a pointless cave

[long flicker]

make sure torpor doesn't hit zero and you're good

oh speaking of caves

still debating on whether to use a wolf or a ravager for the island caves

[silent matrix]

Then do lava cave

[long flicker]

a lone ravager's a little low with damage

[silent matrix]

Ravages are better

[low island]

ehhhh i think ill die

[long flicker]

they don't do as much damage without a pack

a lone wolf still does decent damage

[silent matrix]

Parkour

[low island]

errr guys?

[silent matrix]

True if I thought he had a full pack

[low island]

there's a weird sleepy dino by the exit of the cave

[long flicker]

hug it

[frank smelt]

why is the taming effectiveness going down

[silent matrix]

oo

[low island]

what

[long flicker]

it goes down the more it eats

[silent matrix]

its sleeping

[low island]

uhhh sure ig

[silent matrix]

Dont mess with it it will kill u

[long flicker]

don't actually do that I was joking

[silent matrix]

its dangerous at night but weak in the day

[low island]

oh right thanks

[long flicker]

can't really fit a full pack inside a tiny ass cave

[low island]

err well i have to get out of here

[silent matrix]

Cryopods:

[low island]

it's like in a corner im gonna try to edge by it

[long flicker]

ah yse, let me just make the ravager attack from the inside of a cryopod

I still need ot keep the pack out for it to attack things you know

[low island]

ok it didnt get up phew

[silent matrix]

Lmao no u just cryo it then when u get inside the cave uncryo it

[long flicker]

....

you know, if I can bring a single dino inside then I can bring a pack inside without cryopods

[silent matrix]

I have thousands of hours in this game

[long flicker]

the issue isn't size, it's controlling a pack inside a tightly packed space

[low island]

oh my god

[long flicker]

and yet you're giving this odd advice

[silent matrix]

I can control a few just fine but idk

But like dont do lava cave with a pack of course

[long flicker]

what?

[long flicker]

I mean why say "Cryopods" when you know that wolves and ravagers fit inside caves anyway

[silent matrix]

Wait if he has ravages, dont u have ziplines too?

[long flicker]

indeed I Do
But I want to kill everything inside the cave, not just get the artifact

[silent matrix]

I thought u mean getting inside the cave

[long flicker]

wolves fit inside anyway tho

[silent matrix]

To level up?

[long flicker]

well

that wasn't very accurate
I meant get the drops and shit as well

and it'd give some levels to the mount too

[low island]

rn im watching phlinger phoo's cave guide

[silent matrix]

U can still zipline

[low island]

he says that the lava cave is extremely dangerous

[silent matrix]

Saves time

[long flicker]

yeah I could

[silent matrix]

But u have to already know the cave

[long flicker]

it's one of the easiest caves, as long as you aren't stupid

so for me it's a very hard cave

[low island]

no surprises there

[silent matrix]

It isnt. It just requires a bit of skill

[long flicker]

be careful and you're good, basically

[silent matrix]

Yep

[long flicker]

just the insta kill lava can make people a little scared

[low island]

do you blame them?????

[long flicker]

I mean the yt'er needed to say that, otherwise a noob would go in with his level 5 saber and then leave an angry comment

[silent matrix]

If u can parkour good then the cave is easy

[silent matrix]

🤣

[long flicker]

you know, just one question mark is enough

[silent matrix]

Tbh it's the same logic with the sky lord cave

[low island]

hmm... alright ill try it once i repair my armour

where is it found?

[long flicker]

not being on a mount does make me a little scared, ngl

[long flicker]

google exists
google is your friend

[silent matrix]

Right side if the map

[low island]

right

which artifact is found inside? asking so i can look it up

[silent matrix]

Just bring a pump shotgun and some grapples, easy cave

[silent matrix]

Massive

[low island]

ok thanks

[long flicker]

I know, it still gives anxiety tho

[long flicker]

saying "Lava cave" would give the same result

[low island]

and i will find good loot in here?

[silent matrix]

U can get long neck rifle blueprints

Bit it's rare

[low island]

like apprentice blueprints?

[silent matrix]

Yeah

[low island]

my thyla went in level 21 came out level 41 lmao

[signal wren]

oof I cant play with him cuz steam ark is not cross platform

[silent matrix]

That's what explorer notes do

[long flicker]

I thought I told you that already

[silent matrix]

Theres cross play servers

[long flicker]

pretty sure those don't work for pc and console

[silent matrix]

Idk u might be right

[low island]

btw what do i do with this artifact

[long flicker]

bosses 'n stuff

[silent matrix]

Store it somewhere

[long flicker]

but that doesn't matter for you; you can't beat bosses

[frank smelt]

i cant fly the pterranodon

[undone forge]

You get more then you can go to boss arenas

[silent matrix]

Not right now3

[low island]

ahh right

[long flicker]

you're probably overweight

[long flicker]

nah he has like level 50 shit
that can't beat bosses, not even gamma ones

[low island]

he thinks i just cant because im not playing on boosted dino levels and stuff

[long flicker]

"boosted"
it's the default

[silent matrix]

Do u have a saddle?

[long flicker]

it's not the default on singleplayer because they didn't bother to make it default

[silent matrix]

Thats not true. U can do it on every difficulty just need mutations and good stats

[long flicker]

if you spend a few months mutating, sure

and with level 50 dinos I don't think it's even worth beating the bosses

[silent matrix]

On singleplayer u can change the rates

But on official yeah its months

[long flicker]

even with changed rates it'd easily take at least a month

[low island]

but i didnt

anyway for the third time today i dont wanna have this arguement again let me play how i want

[silent matrix]

Then do that

[undone forge]

British cat

[silent matrix]

Ok but just be aware it will take ages to get the results

[low island]

idm

[long flicker]

you're the one who started it

[undone forge]

Americat

[long flicker]

I'm not saying "change the way you play"

I'm saying
You can't beat the bosses

[undone forge]

Brishcat VS Americat

[long flicker]

can't do it if max level is 90

or maybe 60 I'm not sure what the max level is

[low island]

ok idc

[undone forge]

But max level is 105

[long flicker]

since when is max level 105

[silent matrix]

The difficulty of the boss is scaled down massively are u sure?

[long flicker]

it's not, as far as I'm aware
the difficulty of the bosses is barely scaled down

higher difficulty makes the game easier

[low island]

is chitin better armour or ghillie?

[undone forge]

For players, max lvl is 105 without ascensions chibis and notes

[silent matrix]

Depends

[long flicker]

mm, I sure do love me dem bug skin clothes

[long flicker]

I was talking about wild dino levels

[long flicker]

chitin is shit ngl

[low island]

fine ill invest in some flak

[long flicker]

never felt worth building

[silent matrix]

Well if hes going for raw armor it might be ok

[undone forge]

His wild dino max lvl is probably 30 judging by the fact that he didn't change any setting

[low island]

oh wow i can make an entire set already lmao

[long flicker]

nah
flak is way better while being easier to get in most situations

[silent matrix]

Yea ik but he might not have access to flak

[long flicker]

yeah I'm still confused about what hte max level is, but I went for the highest one I thought it could be, which is 90

[low island]

primitive flak helmet or ramshackle chitin helmet?

[long flicker]

and chances of having easy access to flak is higher than easy access to chitin
chitin can be pretty hard in a lot of cases

[silent matrix]

Difficulty 1 the max level for wild creatures is 30

[long flicker]

yes
but it's not that simple

[silent matrix]

Bit he said Guillen or chitin

[low island]

my difficulty is 0.2 i think

[long flicker]

oh right
I started talking about flak vs chitin lol

[silent matrix]

So difficulty 2

[low island]

^^^^^^

[long flicker]

that's not how it works

[low island]

i have both, which one should i take

[silent matrix]

Didnt mess around wit singleplayer setting so idk?

[long flicker]

I was actually thinking of making chitin armour since I'm on ab then realised that it's useless

[undone forge]

0.2/1.0 (they are technically the same, except for the fact that 0.2 is on the option menu while 1.0 on the .ini settings) means lvl 30 is the max and the minimum level is 1

[long flicker]

it's a little weird and stupid, the way it works

[silent matrix]

Primitive flak better

[low island]

ok thanks

[long flicker]

I'm still running around in cloth armour lol

[low island]

except it's not

ive seen 45's

one time even a 60

[long flicker]

max level is probably 90

[low island]

and my highest argent rn is 70

[long flicker]

tamed dino levels are different

[silent matrix]

Leveled up I assume

[low island]

yeah ofc

[silent matrix]

Yeah u get bonus levels for taming it

[undone forge]

I use 1.2/6.0 (min level 6 max level 180)
Officials, and most people use 1.0/5.0 (5 min 150 max)

[long flicker]

anyway
should I get a karkinos or more ravagers

[long flicker]

that's not how it works either

[undone forge]

You probably have 0.4 or 0.6

[silent matrix]

How many ravages u got

[long flicker]

only got 2, but finding more is annoying
but getting a karkinos is just as annoying

[silent matrix]

Get more ravagers

5 is best imo

[long flicker]

https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Difficulty
just read this I haven't read it in a while so I probably don't remember stuff

[silent matrix]

And karkinos u need a catapult and a weird designed trap

[low island]

phew my thyla eats fish meat and i have plenty of that so im good

[long flicker]

I know the traps and shit
I just need actual good dinos tho

[silent matrix]

Well can u make the trap and catapult?

[long flicker]

but taming karkinos is annoying as fuck

[long flicker]

of course, otherwise why would I ask lol

[silent matrix]

Get 2 more ravagers then karkinos

[long flicker]

I always fuck it up

[silent matrix]

Becuase karkinos are really good

[long flicker]

I love having them but they're so annoying to tame

[silent matrix]

Yeah taming one is wonky at times

[low island]

my friend is asking if it's wise to take a 145 equess into the snow cave

or eqques or whatever

[silent matrix]

No it isnt
