Yeah I don't think you can edit single player difficulty on xbox
am to Xbox
there's an option
My difficulty level is set to 1 and I find high level Dinos on the lost Island
u get a thing to change when u go to load SP right?
The slider cuts off at 1 though I think
yeah
Like 100 plus
I've seen it before but I don't touch it so
if u can type something in the difficulty box type something
The alpha raptor got stuck eating a trike so we easily killed it with a crossbow
Yeah
Yeah
yeah thats all the way right and it says 1
ye i have mine on 6 which gives me 180
u cant access it can u
Ah ok so you're on default single player settings which I think means they spawn up to 120
120 max nice😂
I think without .ini editing you can only decrease it
oooo
what should i put it to
I don't think it actually works though. Try putting in 6, and then when you login run the command DestroyWildDinos
Then see what spawns in
😨
ye when u do the dino wipe tell us what lvls u see
k
actually I think there's a max difficulty setting separate then the slider come to think of it
wait will doing this respawn those wyverns that bullied me out of the penguin spot
I'm not home so I can't recheck😂
I think on single player the max level is 180
Yes, it will kill everything
itll kill everything and new things respawn
Gotta do that to create room for the new levels to spawn in
yeah
DestroyWildDinos?
Yep
yep
everything but tames
ok run around
So now wait a bit and then if you see anything over 120, it worked
it might be slow but stuff will spawn
oh it worked
Or if they're spawning in levels multiple of 6
all the fishes are dead
If you see any level that isn't a multiple of 6, it didn't work
aww now i cant walk under the water
I was just watching my Sinomacrop and um the way it licks it's lips makes it look like a creepy man lol
lol
so if there is a dino level 6 then it worked?
yes
Yep
but if theres a dino lvl 4 then oof
i see a level 35 pt
did epic games get mod support yet?
Yeah, didn't work then
mk ur on difficulty 5
No
10/10 game
epic games?
yeah
and a level 55 fiwsh
the epic games version of ark
yeah its 5
I thought you can get mods on Xbox but you can’t
sadge
dang level 115 fish
Sad
nope
yum yum
tame it
ye u can tame fish
what do they even do
die
lol
give food to things
They do nothing
lets u have supply to feed to otters
what level max on 5
max is 150
i think thats what it was before
can i be an abusive father to my ice wyvern
What is the limit for max level on single player?
yes
pog
for xbox most likely u have 150
gonna go bug hunting in my frog
Oh 150 😔
hope i find some
I believe they get cut off at 450
if u run around and all the lvls are multiples of 5 ur max is 150
wait what?
But it can only be increased above the default on PC through .ini editing
ah ok lol
You can theoretically override the difficulty to be whatever you want, but the game cuts their levels off at 450, or 500 for gen creatures I think
i wish my pc could run ark
So you can’t increase the difficulty level on Xbox?
Not on single player
Not the level cap no
i have a laptop that runs ark fine bout $600 :p
huh
the dino wipe spawned a high level raptor near my base
Oop
then kill it
Bolas
Kill it
Tame it! Lol
i only have my low level frog
if ur making an ind forge then u should easily be able to kill or tame it
You can’t tame alphas lol
its not alpha?
they said high lvl not alpha
please kill it frog
If you have Xbow and tranq arrows, bola it and you can tame it
Can u travel with Tributes? Not artifacts but tributes?
OH GOD
yes because their items i think
I know it’s possible with Artifacts but I wanna know Tributes
this folks is why we dont fight raptors without bolas
Uh oh lol
Rip
a rex rolled up
lol
Raptors are scary, especially the beginning of the game
they arent in the beginning?
They are.
That is going off the wiki
they said they were making an ind forge?
Sadly I do not have the stuff on hand so can not test for ya
i might have lived
Ayyyy
What’s you health?
Just found this a moment later
**
None of the tribute items found here can be transferred to other servers; they vanish the moment it is uploaded inside/downloaded outside Item Cloud. This excludes Nameless Venom (Aberration) however, through inventory transfer.**
are u at the beginning or late in the game?
i have 300 hp and full flak
Oh okay
Little confused y u didn't make a saddle for ur frog before making a ind forge??
i have a saddle
why didnt u just hop away then
It was out of stam
yeah
ohh
Oh
didnt see that part lol
that was
an experience?
wat lvl is ur frog
...okay then
it was a lot harder to get it than you would think
What's your best flier?
186 argy
i usually just grab them with my argy and drop them in a trap
im guessing
That'll definitely take out a 95 rex if you circle it
Im still lost on how ur even making an ind forge without an anky or any tame that would help
My Arge is 206 and it is very strong
Actually
I like it
im confused how u making an ind forge while only have like a 36 frog and stuff lol
well
He mentioned having rexes and harvesting tames too
Ikr, at least get a better frog
Anyone know how I can easily trap a theriz? I'm gonna try to get a lvl 300 one as once trapped it shouldn't do much to me
That's surprising
well go check now, u did a dino wipe!
😭
Get a 100 plus frog
Argy style trap but metal gates
^^
Oof okay metal will be a problem for me as I don't have easy acces to cement
i dont got tranq darts so i gotta go do that
I'm extremely low on chitin and keratin
u could do stone but u risk it breaking it
How long would stone last?
whats ur best thing for tranqing?
Currently a standard crossbow
Once I get a pteranodon I'll look around for supply crates
hmmm considering its a lvl 300 itll take alot
itll def break stone before u tranq it
bruh
Lv300 theri will do about 150 damage per hit, stone gates have 10k hp, so 67 hits will do it
how did you get it level 300
On PC you can just add a line to the .ini file and make max whatever you want lol
apprentice mammoth sadde
Ah well I've seen 300s before on the server I'm playing on
Well maybe not a 300 right now but I do want one above 100
bruh
Just a standard theriz to have as maybe a pack defender
Yeah must be difficulty 10. Just be careful though because a perfect tame will bring it to 449, and you'll only be able to add 1 level
im so dumb
so u havent found one yet?
i have tranq darts i just accidentally put them in my fab
Look for a wild 240ish. Perfect tame will bring it to 359, add 88 levels from experience and that's 447, just under cap
are there any items i will need that take rare mushrooms or rare flowers
Okay okay. I'll keep that in mind and I'll look for a good taming guide
Thank you guys
when i go to tame the frog should i take my argy or my wyvern
Argy, wyverns use a ton of Stam with their breath attack so if you use that at all you'll have trouble escaping if anything goes wrong
id say have ur argy take things for a trap
what trap take
u can easy just do like one foundation and some doors
can it walk through doorways with no door
just be sure to drop the frog in correctly
no
so just like
It can't fit through open doorways, set up a 2x2 with doorframes 2 high and a ramp in
just use doorways so u can shoot through it
Kite it in and run out the doorway
ok
or that
Might need 4 ramps to make sure it doesn't fall off the side
ye
wdym
huhu
You could just drop it in
ye
what can it break
not stone
can it break wood
Yeah use stone
yes
ok
Hello - I have been searching all over the green area for bee hives in aberation for two hours... Are there no hives anymore in aberation??
it says theres one at 37.7 lat and 39.1long
If you're on single player do a dino wipe
Im on my own derver
do a dino wipe if possible
Still do a dino wipe if you have admin privileges
Server - unofficial playing PlayStation - whats the command to wipe dinos with out killing our own tanes
Tames*
DestroyWildDinos
Don't forget to type cheat first
ye
How long for them to respawn
just wait a min and they will start spawning
I found sum wyvs
nice
uh
Is crystal whv white
You can use stone stairs
stone stairs are ramps?
You'll need to learn the engram
Yes but it won't show up if you type ramp.
i have plenty points
true
Go to the engrams, type stairs, learn it, craft stairs.
oh also
do i need to be riding the dino that kills the alpha to give my chibi "alpha xp"
Not the spiral staircase (added because some people do get confused)
well i had my dinos kill it while i sat back and used ranged attacks like shooting at it but the chibi got no xp when it died
mk u need to get the kill then
Your character needs to get the kill iirc
Gives you 5 extra levels
ohh
Useful if you've hit 105
ok i've made the trap
did u make it next to ur frog?
??
crafted lol
your tame can get the kill
ah ok
Can you get a magmasour on lost island?
mine get the kill and I get chibi xp
yes
Alright
syn has some thats all i know tho
the frog spawn so far away and argy so slow
ur carrying it?
R u carrying the frog back?
im gonna tame it at the spawn, cryo and fly back with argy
Just fly with a ptera, no point in bringing an argy
too slow
oh u made it seem liek u knew where a high lvl was but u were crrying it somewhere
i dont have pt and already going with argy
Argy is slower than ptera
argy very slow
Just tame a pt?
too lazy
then why complain lol
idk
he isnt carrying a frog
u were the ones who told me to take the argy
he is flying to frog spawn location
what do I do with element dust on the island? snort it?
yes
and drink beer
if custom food recipes are enabled you can use it for food, if you have the DLC you can get the engram to craft it into unstable element which turns into regular element
Pretty sure I have to go to extinction for that tho, I think he's asking what to do while staying on the island
which DLC? I just bought them all
Extinction
oh yeah, you have to go learn the engram but until then you can cook with element dust, or just store it
Nice, should be easy
"should be" being the key term
so close
that's why I'm looking for about 6 tek raptors, set up a tek breeding farm
you underestimate my power
ive just never been to extinction lol
extinction is a pain
Parasaurs r way better from my experience
just by saying "I play singleplayer" should be enough
yeah but I want raptors cause they look cooler
Extinction is cool, second bast dlc map imo
get tek T-rex its way better
have both but keep the parasaurs in the basement?
good plan
but I want a whole vertical stack so all the eggs/dung slide down to one spot for picking up, no basement
Depends on the tool u use, anything that isn't a prim chainsaw gives worse yeilds than a para
idk about tek dust farming, Im just playing with ya'll, but good to know
imma see if I can't convince my brother to buy me Genesis pass tonight👀 I'm tired of no Gen 2 lol
now I know I can farm parasaurs
lol
lol
what kind
Lmao
if it's got mantas, don't go in
leed thing
the leed is pretty chill unless you're on a raft
kill it
happens it just has to breathe every so often😂
No don't kill it
are the dinos that constantly change color available on the Real Ark or is it just mobile?
I dont play mobile but I've seen them
sadge
what does it drop
nothing good
nooo its going back into the water
U can harvest raw prime off it and he literally doesn't care
fr
can i shooti t
I wouldnt
how many darts to knock it out
you can but dont
They got a lot of health
u cant tame it or anything
U can't tame them
bruh
they are just there to hurt u if u have a raft
It's a fish meat factory, wat more do u want??
what about a motorboat?
they like metal too
ah
Idk, but canoes r safe
i think (believe was attacked when on one before)
metal rafts just last slightly longer when the leed attacks
something that isnt fish
sorry not sorry bary's
lmao good luck getting you stuff back
pegos r fun but hell at the same time
pegos are dumb
one stole my op sickle and disappeared
I'm ready when you are BTW just shoot me a message on Xbox or ping me
find it
remove pegos?
now i have angered the compies
are u on the ground?
yes
why not on the argy
wish I could disable spawning for just one kind of dino
lol
2, pegos
If i start a genesis 1 world rn, how long would it take to get a rock drake?
pegos and itchys
Pegos, comps, dilos
I was gonna say the bats that give mega rabies
in my quest to tame all I've come to realize I'd have to let that stupid thing take my stuff for Taming one the pego
find low lvl and give mejo
I can handle everything except pegos they steal from me I go on berserk mode😂
?
rock drake or just an egg?
cuz just an egg means u can die after and i can help with that mybe lol
u could dino wipe again if u wanted to be abit cheap imo but eh to each their own
i did it
Okay well, i know absolutely nothing about genesis or how to get a rock drake, if i need to tranq it, passive tame, or get an egg or something idk. I've seen how they move around and i really want one on my Ragnarok world. So I'm going to start up a genesis world, level up and work to getting a rock drake, then transfer it to ny Ragnarok world
could transfer to genesis with ur stuff that way u know u can do things? but idk. personally i havent ever been on genesis but ik u grab an egg u better have a dang good escape plan
don't you need cannons and such to knock em out
but ye u need to grab rock drake eggs and raise them
cannons are for karkinos
Nah if i start a world on genesis i want it to be from scratch
well the conversation was like 4 different creatures last night😂
lol yeah rock draks u steal their eggs to get them
karkinos u use cannons to knock them out
Alright
How long would it take to get to a point of being able to get a rock drake egg?
Can i just use a pteranodon, steal the egg and fly away like with wyvern eggs?
maybe
maybe ik in gen u spawn with tek
Alright
Can someone help me out? I'm on the island and I'm not sure where to move my base
I wish I could post an image of where I am for reference
@marsh mulch #735196277221883964
Can someone please explain how te fook I'm supposed to get exceptional kibble

Hi
Anyone know a good spot to relocate on the island?
Hello everybody I wanna get back into ark, I was removed from my clan on a old server and lost everything I had. And I was wondering if any of you guys knew any good servers to join. I’m a little rusty but I’ll readjust quickly
any recommendations for server hosting?
decent price / easy management for server settings cus im only usde to ark server manager
so if you download an exo-mek from the creatures tab it crashes ark
I've had very good luck with gportal
Ty
how do you transfer beehives across servers
scalacube has a free server option u could try out
if you’re talking about the queen bee, i’m assuming you could just take it out of the hive form and transfer to a obelisk
How often do wild Dinos lay eggs? The wiki says mate boosted 17 minutes and with an Oviraptor 17 minutes...but just a plan female in the wild how often?
Rng
?
its random^
oh hi perry
Hi 
Random number generation
Theres no set value
Soon I will have 2 new Tek stegos to my family
Bringing it up to 8. What's should i name them?
smol chunky
np
If I keep 2 fertilised stego eggs in my inv will they lose any health btw?
nope
but that takes a while, don’t it?
ye
Alright
nothing to worry bout unless u constantly keep it in inv
And what if I go offline?
SP?
Multi
oh ok, just making sure i wasn’t crazy lol
then they just keep spoiling
but again u have days on days
just hover over them
it’s like three days i think
smthn like that
Ah okay. It's just that I gotta go sleep soon and I didn't know if I could get the eggs, leave and hatch them the next day in time for imprint and all that
Hard to forget about eggs that weigh 50 each
I just got dismounted in star dolphin trapped in a corner
that’s like wyvern eggs tho
i mean tru
And it legit put me to my character 0-0
Tbh forgot we were talking about stegos and not wyverns lol
bye
@viral shore 🤡
The world shall know the trembling
star dolphin not fix
Plz fix star dolphin lmao
Wait just to clarify the names are "smol" and "chunky" right?
right? smol chunky, abunch of smol chunki. but then theres abunch of smol chunkies around
yes
Aight aigjt
Just gotta throw some food into my stegs and then I'll dip
And dw I won't. I will keep em safe
mk good
out of curiosity, what level are they
Eggs or stegos?
stegos
Uh holup
can look at eggs to check lol
well i mean the two parents determine the egg level
or is that only for wild
mhm
i didnt realize they had already closed the game tho lol
ohh lol
can some help me really quickly
how
i just need to know how tame this is
shoot
i cant post photos here
what is the dino name
was a sinomacrops
oh ok
Stephanie - 160
Stefan - 224
Dodo - 177
Dookie - 180
Weenus - 171
Steggy - 40.
Eggs :
Stephanie + Stefan
Dodo + dookie
The only reason I keep steggyis because he was the original out of the 4 Tek stegos I saw in the wild near my base and the first I tamed
not bad
if it was a sinomacrops, then you have to go up to it slowly and wait for it to get attracted
Well what is it lol
then you need chitin to put in last hotbar slot to tame
Mhm. I'm currently having them so that I can move my base to a new location due to high health and weight and then after I'll probably be breeding them for electronics, oil and what not
i’m pretty sure it was a sino
thanks how did you know haha
Wut
they dmed me and i was explaining lol
I see
oh ok
Idk where to find beehives on lost island other than red woods
from the discussion earlier my difficulty the default is 0.2 so what's the max level
Like 30 or 40. Something like that
only spawn is there I've heard from YT
I forgot you can look up spawns on wiki
redwood trees and cliffs in redwoods
There are some not in red woods
does lost island have a spawn map now 👀
I looked up giant bee spawns and lost island showed up
You have to click the dino first and then click the map on the dino page.
The spawn map is there. Just have to do dino first.
I kinda feel like experimenting
Everytime I went to check there wasn't but do I really have to search the dino then check it's spawns that way😭
Yes
Only other way I've found to do it
Perhaps I'll roam with an army of raptors
I swear to God Ark😂
give me back my Candy Cane jerboa😂
she's not nearby and I had her last on my shoulder
Are there any tameable ravagers on lost island
I was also on the side of a cliff/mountain the incline of it wise
I’m looking for rexes after I just tamed a 145. I was in my phone and a 135 just walked up to me
red drops good to go for?
yea
bro everytime i go for a drop i get ducking jumped
every single time
I normally don't normally
😂 add another to the list
lost a Tek raptor soon as it tamed I went off for an alpha raptor come back to troodons killed it 😂
can we just get a once a week maintenance like every other online game???? Like seriously WC.....
me me i wanna name
do tell😂
I am!
Allamis
Palthos
Allos
and D'Artagnan
the perfect alllo names
those r pretty epic ur right
you gotta tell me about the allos!! their 'personality' . they vibes
I just tamed these 3 😂
i named my squad of allos boe joe hoe loe doe
taming allos are a pain bro
they run off after their low
not really😂 2 was stuck inside each other😂
and this beautiful allo drowned when we knocked it
If only I could throw bear traps at dino mouths to prevent them biting me
would their color schemes help
actually i say sinomacrop is a pain
its hard to trap it
agreed
yes :)
Speaking of drowning, I really want giant shrimp in the game
no bc when he was running we shot it like 50 more times and it just wont die so we just shot it in the water once and he knocked
female lv 5
13 13 I think it's an 8 14 13 22
male 14 25 35 14 27 23
female lv2 27 32 12 35 34 32
why did arkpocalypse gen 2 go down?
aight aight :)
Burtha / Girtha / Billy Shrinker the Boinklinker
Sheetha / Alsasto / Ironhide the decimating hooha
Keisha / Keira / Keithan
those r my sugegstions <3
I like Ironhide maybe not the decimating part though😂
which was gonna be it? the male was it?
I'm also trying to locate my missing jerboa so that's my main focus point
so i take it sinos lose taming progress when their hunger gets low enough
I'll never find her😪 not atleast while I'm search for it
Actually no, it's not Ark that's bad it's Wildcard.
Bootleg monkey brained Wildcard.
yes king tell us more
How can you say you fixed a bug when literally just now I got anti meshed for sleeping in a tek sleeping pod?
haha, he proved you wrong by agreeing 😭
lol they have that in Subnautica below zero
They’re angry rainbow bois who live in the mines and like to punch things
😂 you Little argys I didn't want you to kill this Tek para I wanted to keep it😂
click 'enable target only concious' in their options wheel :]
I shoot it with tranq and it's just FEAST and I tried setting them to passive but they already killed it
I went to knock it out😂
yahh :( if you dont enable that setting theyll kill unconcious dinos
but if you enable it, theyll stop attacking when it knocks out :]
it was a yellow one at that bright yellow😂
school bus
um im playing singleplayer and there arent any wyvern spawns in the den....
and my anky was attacking that one thorny I tamed the other day reason behind it being almost killed on passive after it tamed😂
the walking speed by time it reached the thorny it got knocked out then hit
Alright ark's genuinely tripping me out
I dont recall having this many issues in my first 100 hours
Sorry I don’t speak Cyrillic
tapejara food I just knocked one out
got it nvm
I was trying to rush getting it 😂
nice
Is there any way to make my golem stand on a cloning chamber in gen2 space?
WTF Lost Island is 60GB?
yeah, its pretty darn chunky
.-.
Time to uninstall Lost Island then. Aint got no space for it
40GB left. 11GB on disk
don't forget to eat as I exit the game to save😂
ok im confused. Im simultaneously losing HDD space alongside SSD space when ark is installing to my SSD
if you had a choice between a scrap metal farming dino would you pick
a sabertooth
or b direwolf
i just prefer direwolf tbh
or would a raptor work
I tamed a female Tek raptor finally I wanna breed them for scrap tbh over Paras again my history😂
for the express purpose of farming scrap metal from killing tek animal, dire wolf pack
more animal = more carry weight
raptors dont have a good base carry weight but they work :)
wolves are easier to breed (for me) cuz they dont need to be incubated like eggs
I've got wolves I can use just wanted to get an opinion
yah ofc
overwhelming the animal with spam attacks, esp paras during their startle animation, works wonders
Alright crisis averted. Either ark confused steam hardcore or steam is just crap
Time to reinstall ark!
hope it downloads smoothly 🙏
time to get the cryofridge
I'm such an idiot😂
I used all my polymer LOL well I have 58 leftover it takes 60 apparently
nvm I had some on inventory for some reason I was thinking it was all in the fabricator
compared to a Rex how hard is a yuti to tame mainly in terms of torpor
draining wise I mean
like a lv 2 Rex I think it was I didn't need narcotics
It’s pretty close to the same. They’re a lot faster though, I recommend traps.
I got a mountain😂
I trap because when their torpor drops and they run you never know where they end up. I’ve lost quite a few tames falling in water, running into swamps, falling off cliffs.
besides it's just if I see another I might try I killed the one that killed my tapejara already then I started thinking I could've tamed it
I found 2 mammoths I wanna tame because colors😂 buti don't wanna gather berries to tame them
also I've got one of the best landmarks in all of Ark TBH on my Lost island save
Is there any way to make my golem stand on a cloning chamber in gen2 space?
maybe idk I don't do Gen 2 nor know anything about the cloning
I can share an in-game screenshot right here
?
anyone want to play ARK?
is there a way to sory engrams in smithy to only things you currently have mats for
sort*
I don't think so
does anyone know why my ark keeps crashing whenever I run a custom ark map?(ragnarok, Crystal, ect)
i already verified my game and now i dont know what to do
are those maps installed? i had similar issue with lost island, turned out i never downloaded the map
yea i have them downloaded it just says i cant play should i delete it and redownload the map?
u epic or steam
steam
@silent matrix
yo anybody trying to play a new world with me its a little modded tho
delete ur maps, relaunch ark and press play on one of the custom map
it should send u to the store page and once it does redownload the map u want to play
anybody else keep getting lost timeout connection to host issues on PC Steam smalltribes servers since yesterday ?
i verified allready game files and tried 2 different internet connections, on regular 1x offi i dont get dissconects on smalls its every minute since yesterday specialy when i open a term,inal and look at the server list !
yup same, dk how to fix
and it crashes at the worst time like over water or killing mobs
one thing that bugs me about this game, Dilos are super tiny, fossils have them like 6ft+ tall lol
ye, its literally a jurassic park dilo
down to the frill and poision
ye. in the game's defense, all of the dinos are just subspecies, like the triceratops styrax which is a coss between trike and styraco
oh fair point!
still i wish we could get a larger, ridable dilo. imagine how cool that'd be
awesome
welp i gtg. see ya
cya!
there are many, many, many innacurate things in ark i could write a whole essay
from the raptor wrists to just-- everything, everything
and helena acting like its proper biology and that shes a learnt scientist is SO funny i just get such a kick out of it
best to just ignore it and accept it as a goofy feature :) funny silly thing
i was listening to audio readings of the notes and she acknowledges the weird biology stuff ebentually
im so proud of her
the dossier for carno was something like "if t rex is the lion of the island, then carno is the cheetah" and i just totaly lost my mind i 😩 GIRL
but i like it, its goofy innocent fun
whenever i get around to watching the animated series(is it even released yet?) ill probably enjoy her character, and im looking forward 2 seeing her wife
iirc her wife is like uhhh humanitarian worker? itll be funny to see
if the rex is the lion of the island, then the giga is the rex of the island
also yeah it’s incredibly bizarre how she isn’t acknowledging the creature’s horrible anatomies
but even more bizarre are the physics. How would anyone expect a bird on someone’s shoulders to make them glide?
or expect a tiny wing suit to carry a full adult human
i remember the dossier for megalodon said something like that
"if t rex was the king of the land, than the megalodon is the rex of the ocean"
in defense, megalodon was the biggest ocean creature during that time
megalodon still feels in game like the carno of the ocean
to me its less so that, the psychics + horrific anatomy, and more so making inaccurate comparisons to documented currently alive animals
such as comparing a solitary apex predator to a social pack hunter because theyre both big haha
unless you count that megalodon is rex and mosa is giga
even tho mosa is no where near giga in terms of raw power
but same counts for megalodon and rex
Does anyone know why my friends now getting D3D HUNG error out of no where
this is another thing i also dislike. i dont respect any scientist that partakes in the "wow" factor like--
"omg this dinosaur was 10000 feet long it was basically the t rex of the ocean and fought everything andan!!!""ffgdnf"!!"
fictional or no, i simply do not respect them
arks taken alot of creative freedom tho, most of those animals/creatures didnt even coexsist etc lol
not to speak of actual sizes etc^^
yeah exactly :)
i mean ark really doesn't take paleontology accurate animals to consideration most of the time
creative freedom in one of the most typical and bland ways possible
its part of the fun. those creatures arent dinosaurs, theyre funny game monsters
all the creatures in this game pre-scorched earth aren’t very impresssive
creative freedom design =/= good design
yep, the theory as to why allosaurus´were pack hunters / coworking together is, that there is ONE petrification with like 3,4 allos together, thats all lol
i mean thats the only paleontology aspect of allo in ark
other than that it looks like a god damn hypo from the isle
hyper
meh, not many dino games have good dino designs anyways
a lot of them borrow off JP
true
most shockingly everyone uses different colors :S almost as if it was impossible to know them 😉
mainly because jp was y'know the big popularity spike in dinosaur media
i think im being misunderstand, so lemme break it down
-
i dont care about inaccurate models, theyre funny. i like how goofy they are
-
i dont care about accurate paleontology. theyre funny spooky survival game monsters in a mutated Trumanshow simulation. we also dont know much about prehistoric life, not enough to justify gatekeeping an animals behavior bc "my idea sounds more logical!"
-
I do care about helena, in particular as a fictional character, writes about the animals. i think its funny how she speaks about them in a psuedo-intellectual way, comparing them (inaccurately) to real world animals etc
-
I think its funny how she says things like "megaladon is the rex of the ocean" when most biologists worth their salt look down on narrating animals like its a WWE cagefight. "megalodon is the rex of the ocean" is something someone trying to sell you a ticket would say, not a biologist
-
i am not cricitizing wildcard or their writing. i think its funny, thats all. its an amusement i have with her as a character
-
i am speaking from a viewpoint of having a biology special interest, and enrolling into college to study animal science
JP was awesome, only harry potter had the same hype (okay way more but similiar) when it came to cinemas!
also i aint mad or nothing i love a good conversation
I do not believe accuracy makes a good design. It can, but there needs to be more than just that
yea im not being serious, there is super limited data anyways and without creative freedom you would have like nothing to even work with ^^
creative freedom can backfire tho
i just really like how creatures feel in this game
controlling dinosaurs in this game is the best creature/animal controlling engine i have ever toyed with
Ark’s creatures during its first and second years of release are my least favorite for being unimpressively bland
but after scorched earth, everything picked up
i love how the jp book could be summed up as "a dude resurrected a utahraptor(or was it dakota? dont remmeber), called it a velociraptor cuz it sounded cooler, and then went off the walls to make money"
and then spielberg or whoever making the jp movie did the same thing
scorched earth was the big movement in ark
since fantasy creatures became tameable
capitalism
utahraptor wasn’t discovered during the making of JP. It was Deinonychus, which was clumped with the Velociraptor genus during that time
i actually found 2016/17 the greatest years of ark, no OP fantasy creatures, no big mutation lines, alot of grinding, you really felt like a small little entity fighting for survival in a super hostile and dangerous world with exclusively dinos 🙂
YAh thats the one my bad :)
or not.. hmm ill find a source on it
didn’t stop the fact that the dinos looked… ugly
even now you can tell the sheer difference in quality between an old and new dino
why cant series that intentionally deviate from irl looks of a creature at least make them pretty
no idea…
if ur gonna do ur own thing then pls make it look good at least
(staring at jurassic world: evolution)
hm i found them for that period in gaming actually decent, compared with like gta 4 etc which was top-notch graphics a bit before, i was really stunned by the game, not like Crysis stuff but still ^^
I’m not talking about graphics. I’m talking about how the dinosaurs looked
which is the same lol ? there have been only some TLCs so far for some creatures visually
it’s hard to believe the jurassic franchise descended into the very trope it wanted to avoid
bronto, dilo, pteranodon, scorpion, carno, rhino, turtle, giga, and a lot more…
best dino for obsidian?
you can tell their models and abilities are just worse than todays
the X and R variety of them at least do some good effort of making them more interesting
yep but still their old models werent THAT crazy, there was no other dino at the time even close to what they looked like
comparing it with games from the same era of 14/15, ark WAS a visually pleasing game
Anky or Mantis with picks
I am not talking about the graphics I am talking about the dinosaur designs
magmasaur oc too but i doubt that is your actual level
alr thanks
stryder
whats that?
not as efficient
and hes surely not at that level asking that question lol
you must be JOKING
i dont, stryder is a mass harversting tool but its like payed DLC and super lategame
its great to mass harvest but high dmg ankies and mantis with picks are still able to get much more per rock 🙂 (which they cant teleport but oftentimes obs is limited anyways)
just tame an anky its great for metal too and flint etc
yeah I've heard stryders aren't as good for obsidian per node, and obsidian nodes can be relatively rare
they definitely aren't "super late game"
you can get one in midgame if you really want to
from what I know, magmasaurs are the best for obsidian, though I might be wrong
Can velos shoot shit down like rockets?
I don't think you've actually read the lore lol
thats the funniest thing anyone has said to me today thank you
for most resources they actually gather significantly lower amounts per node, ive tested them vs capped ankies and mantis and as well as some that had "only" 140ish pts per stat. even the 140 pts per stat got tons more shards/obs/flint etc than the stryders.
but with alot of them each setup to a specific box and skiffs to move em around, they sure are super efficient for one resoure lol. Just takes so much more stuff to actually make them work
Also are velos good base defense
@long flicker we figured something out
If you had you'd know that the biological inaccuracies are precisely how Helena figures out they're in an artifical environment lol
I don't see how that's relevant to anything I said. Would you mind explaining?
You made some smarmy teenage comment about how Helena isn't a real biologist and she should have realized all the biology was wrong
Plus its also a game Gigas aren't the size of a bronto irl they are a little bigger than a t Rex
I figured as much as well :] youre right. i havent read the lore. i want to experience the majority of it in game
Which she did, you just hadn't read it
the lore specifies that all the dinosaurs are actually separate species, different from the real world, only similar in looks
and also they're all GMO's
And by the time ark was made they knew wrists weren't curved downward
It's a game and they used the inaccuracies of the dinos they made as a lore piece
So you read back an hour to ping me and put words into my mouth? read a little further. i have stated many, many, many times i dont want nor expect 'accurate' dinosaurs. i suggest paying better attention before speaking
you made that singular comment, and they replied to that comment, I wouldn't expect them to read through your entire message history before replying
I suggest actually knowing the game you're playing before criticizing it for being inaccurate when that's part of the plot lol
again. i dont care about the innacuracy or accuracy of the biology. as i stated many times, i like it :) its fun. and given the lore, its not meant to be real. Thats all im saying on it, as repeating myself is a waste of time and slightly annoying
the game is very obviously meant to be 'innacurate' lmfao

anyways
You just have big "I'm smarter than this fictional biologist because I read the Wikipedia page for raptors and decided to go to college for biology" energy and it's pretty pathetic from the perspective of someone who actually went to college for biology lol
Imagine how cool it'd be if yutyrannus could force carnotaurus to fight with it irl tho
I'm seeing an argument brewing up
wonder how entertaining this'll be
you don't have to continue it
with the dino storage mod, some of the tames have like the shield bird symbol on them, whats this mean?
Keep it civil
I think it means they're fliers

also I take this specific comment back, I didn't realise you meant that you mentioned it in that convo itself
Is it possible to make turret towers on a cliff plat base
yeah no worries bobster. its easy to bandwagon on 2 someone making an arrogant comment in chat- theres an unconcious sorta Trust that whoever made said comment will know what they r talking about. i hope ur well! my bad if i stepped on ur toes at all, i didnt direct any comments towards u
i wouldnt think so but 🤷
Tell me you're 13 without telling me lol
anyone know a way to show fps counter on ark
rip
"Stat fps" (no quotes) in console
omg what is she eating it looks good
reminds me of naan bread mmmmmm
Yum!
ty, i was testing to see if i needed a higher hertz monitor
Is Ragnarok busted? Downloaded, checked it was installed thru the dlc menu on steam and by manually checking the files myself, etc, but everytime i go to open it it takes me to the steam download page
ye I think it's bugged rn
Aw, that sucks, at least its not just me lol
Trying to play single player ?
in a pin somewhere one the server it was stated downloading the center would fix it somehow?
^
singleplayer rag broke but im able to play on a dedicated server
Yeah, single player, ill try to download the center and see if that fixes anything thank u
steam also has a nice fps counter which is not as much in the "middle" of the screen as statfps, you need to activate it via steam in the options first
You’re welcome
So like why have Tek turrets along with regular they do less damage than heavy and dont shoot rockets down
they do nice splash dmg to some soakers so the rider gets hit. plus they totally shred some like Rock Elementals.
R-Es are really strong for soaking heavies but no chance if u got some tek in there.
Plus they push back dinos etc
Oh if they push you back they must be op as shit in the lunar biome
i actually havent seen or cant remember it specifically there but i imagine it could work lol
esp given how easy shards are to farm on gen1, the ammo is super convenient to get too
Yeah on the cluster I play on I'mma do gen 1 after I do extinction so imma try a lunar biome base
there are defo some nice spots esp along the world boarder, you can build really strong small bases there for smaller tribes too as they are covered overhead by the asteroid, on one side by a world boarder and theres teleport zones making soaking really hard if u set it up correctly^^
defo do some scouting before u choose a base spot, lunar can be really good for that, tho probably not as good as some other maps from what ive heard from friends 🙂
Do you know if I can place a few walls under a cliff plat base and set up hatch frames and turret tower on one?
if max level on server for dino is 180 wild, what would max be for tek versions?
sure there are some ways, pillars will go through the platform and then you can play around with ceilings and walls or let them come down from extended ceilings and foundations from the cliff plat. you defo need some or someone will spacedolphin/tek punch / etc under it and blow the whole thing up at once
Alr
yo i can get on in a few hours, what map u tryna play?
oof i tossed out my doedic accidentally and he's unconcious
now i gotta finish the ravager trap with an axe
RIP
rip
Downloading the center worked and I can finally play ragnarok. Thank yall again for the tips!
nice, have fun!
why wont my ini settings actually work when I change them???????????????????????????????????????????
No structure support is absolutely positively not working in any way shape or form
what a busted game
it's probably because you did it wrong, not because the game is broken
you don't need 50 question marks
Ive looked up any and every information I can find and have done exactly. I wish there was a discord that people actually helped. It's quite frustrating
I did just direct you to the channel to go to for help
both #unofficial-setup-help and #bobs-with-probs
Can you clone a clone?
no
I can play any but the Genesis ones
i just spawned in sanctuary and out of nowhere 3 raptors start chasing me
enjoy😂
i play on solo and my tames are getting a ton of bonus stats from one level but in settings its set to default, does anyone know why? sry i havent played ark in ages i forgot a lot of stuff
Is there a link to the mobiles discord on here?
anything very good at gathering cactus or sand I might take a trip back to my desert base on Lost island but the base isn't even fully built😂 I need to snag the oil from it
will eels/jellyfish knock me off a sarco?
jelly I think did either way stuns it
damn
down to play ab or extinction? pvp or pve i dont mind
I'd prefer PvE but if you want PvP we can just note it's not my style😂
are griffins on lost island or nah
okay sure we can play pve if u want, official or unofficial?
cause ive been looking and im just now realizing they might not be there
I never read the rules so whichever😂
I believe they had 1 spawn only if I recall again I watched yt to learn
yeah i looked it up on yt, and im pretty sure that spawn is modded idk tho
you could also look on the wiki
^
did and found nothing, i'll recheck tho
https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Griffin
if it doesn't have a spawn map in this page then it doesn't spawn
much better source than youtube
Can catapult turrets break metal
The sinomacrops tuff af
But still, I would much rather have a maxed map than a bunch of pillars everywhere
i would much rather have neither
the fool
I can trust my sense of direction for about 200 meters away from my base before I get lost
which is around about how far I can see from my base lmao
💀
Imagine if wild card does a thing like they did in fallout 4 and have a mod section for console players I doubt they will but it'd be cool
I'd rather a partially filled map so long as it's got player location on 😂 once I learn where I'm at my base in set and eventually I don't need the map anymore
I set up a pillar below my cliff plat and used hatch frames and set turrets up is that a good base defense?
On pvp or pve
@wispy frigate ye i think im gonna put it on yt
Pvp
Ideally you want a cave
Im also on the highest point on aberration besides surface
I tried shadow cave but someone took it already
Next wipe I'll try to take it
Rip
Shadow cave is a good cave from what I’ve heard
Probably easiest spot to defend in ark
Altho I think its super easy to mesh near it
Going beneath the “mesh” of the world
Basically like spectator mode on mc, if that makes sense
It’s against ark’s CoC
most of the time people mesh their character rather than their base
why are you suddenly totally normal
Also the server I play on allows fliers in ab would a voidwyrm be good
I wouldn't use fliers in ab if I were you
Any flier would be good, yeah
Y
even if it's allowed, it ruins the appeal of the map

and takes away the entire challenging and unique part of ab
Uhhh wdym I was always normal
I mean I fly around with Tek suit all the time and I would mostly use drakes to move around
