[thin umbra]

Im in on windows but xbox cant get in

[fathom island]

Is xbox unoffical PC sessions still down

[lime trail]

Mine wasn’t at first

[grizzled bear]

Xbox unofficial is still down

[tough harness]

so its working?

😦

[fathom island]

Is wildcard aware of it?

Like any announcements on fixing it?

[silent matrix]

#announcements

🤨

[lunar idol]

@heavy cedar I think your definition of shortly is different then mine

[silent matrix]

Why is aberration updating?

[sage sinew]

I agree... been updating for literally 7 hours and only at 50%

[tough yarrow]

@rigid oak dont spam. Pick a channel and wait.

[gritty hedge]

Does anyone know how to keep a positive mentality in general because in games it limits me so much and real life it limits me but I can't change it idk how

[ancient gust]

anyone know if i can join my friend on ark on a private world thats modded

[night tartan]

Hello, Playstation official island server 840 has been down for 48hours

[silent matrix]

A really silly sounding thing that does generally work, with enough finesse, is just.. recognizing things you’re grateful for

Human brains tend to focus on and get overwhelmed by negativity, and the bad, and we obsess over it. It taints your mood, you know?

[gritty hedge]

Yeah I try to think of positives in the situation whatever it is at the time but there most of the time really isn't any bad example but say ark my base gets wiped and I spent months on it wheres the positives in that real life aswell I fail an exam wheres the positives and

No

[silent matrix]

@zealous nebula hi, someone is sharing some personal things and another person told them to kll themselves. Could you help for a second? Sorry for the ping

[zealous nebula]

Ehh dm DodoMail next time thanks

[silent matrix]

Anyways

You don’t necessarily have to find a positive in the bad— that can turn toxic pretty quick. Toxic positivity is gross

The point is to be aware that the bad thing isn’t everything. there’s much more to your life and what’s going on and what you’re doing than that. Perspective is a hella powerful thing

Ex; I’m walking down the sidewalk. I step on an ant, the ant is injured. I don’t notice and continue to walk

From the ant’s perspective: oh shit
From mine? I didn’t know at all

[olive egret]

thats a copy pasta i bet

[silent matrix]

Delusional

Anyways

Yeah my fingers are pretty epic 💪

[olive egret]

so, you really type that fast?

props!

[silent matrix]

Is it that fast? 😳 haha ooo

[olive egret]

it seemed hella quick, thats why i said copy pasta lol

[silent matrix]

I’ve got a lot of practice I spose. Thanks for letting me know, Interesting

Yah yah my bad 4 snapping. I think someone replying to “hey guys I’m in a bad place” with a copypasta is rude as hell

Got offended 😳

[olive egret]

ohhh

[silent matrix]

Yahh :) have a good one tho

[olive egret]

you too

[muted phoenix]

anyone her get the new xbox update?

here*

[ocean hemlock]

Are Climbing Picks a vanilla thing?
I forget
Just used them to scale one of the mesas in SE
And it felt like this map full of relatively flat vertical surfaces wasn't designed with it in mind
Especially when I started clipping into the ground a bit near the top lol

[muted phoenix]

yeah they r

i think

[olive egret]

i dont remember them being in base game, think they came in a dlc

[muted phoenix]

yeah

[tidal scarab]

When these servers coming back on 💀

[muted phoenix]

they did

[sage sinew]

wasn't an Aberration engram?

[muted phoenix]

yeah

[olive egret]

never actually played on ab, so not sure, but that makes sense since you cant fly there

[tidal scarab]

Not for me or my friends

Only official is online

[vapid bison]

whats the recomended makeup for a broodmother fight, full megatherium? should i include a yute?

[zealous nebula]

Climbing picks were introduced with aberration

[muted phoenix]

i haven’t been playing ark for a very long time so i don’t really know that much

[olive egret]

same! im making myself go through them in story order so i can like learn everything

and atm i CANNOT find a megalania in any of these caves 😦

[hasty void]

why cant i load into any other maps beside the island? when i try to it loads then sends me back the main menu without an error message

[muted phoenix]

i want genesis but i’m broke

[vapid bison]

you might need to download the map

[olive egret]

make sure those maps are downloaded

[hasty void]

how do you download them?

[olive egret]

steam store page for ark

[hasty void]

im on steam

omg thank you so much

[olive egret]

some are free, some youll need to buy and make sure install

[hasty void]

i recently finished the island and i was so confused on why i couldnt get any others

[olive egret]

IIRC there was a bug with the Rag map which required the Center to be installed, not sure if thats still there or not

[vapid bison]

story dlcs cost money unfortunately

but all other maps are free

[hasty void]

damn

i thought scorched was free?

[vapid bison]

not on steam

i think it was on console, back when i played on them

[hasty void]

damn

[olive egret]

with the dossier/notes, for the extra levels do i need to find them on all maps or just gen2?

[native cedar]

Yo when are Xbox servers coming back

Anyone know

[olive egret]

officials are up, unofficials will need server admins to start them back up after update i believe

[native cedar]

Damn it

I am done with the update and. They still arnt up

[olive egret]

server needs to be updated too

[native cedar]

Ohhh thanks for telling me

[bronze kelp]

So unofficial owners have to start the servers back up?

I didn't know that oof

[olive egret]

unofficials are basically open private servers by and large, there's generally an admin in charge of them that needs to log on, update the server whenever there is an update

[bronze kelp]

Or did I read that whole thing wrong 😂

Makes sense. I didn't know. Glad I came here and saw your message

[olive egret]

like i have one via survival servers that i pay for monthly, ill need to update that should a new update happen before anyone can play on it, same with the ark server manager servers

[bronze kelp]

Makes sense. I run an unofficial server as well.

[fast remnant]

Im a admin on an unofficial serv

[olive egret]

hmm, how hard would it be to make a mod that turns all dinos into tek dinos

[silent matrix]

To turn every Dino that spawns into its tek version, easily

To make new tek models for every other Dino, much less easy

[olive egret]

yeah, probably more work than i want

[ocean hemlock]

Anyone else find it to be a massive missed opportunity that golems aren't weak to attacks from pickaxes

[halcyon crypt]

i mean fighting a golem on foot with a melee sounds barbaric and would probably result in a fast death

[ocean hemlock]

That's definitely not exactly what I'm doing rn
And I'm definitely not actually doing well cuz I finally started using this upgrade station mod I have

[halcyon crypt]

yeah but whats the point in adding that

[agile moon]

We've all seen how big an explosion a round from the flair gun makes. Now, imagine someone took one of those charges, chambered it and used it as an explosive round for firing projectiles from a larger firearm.

Would the result be that it would hurl the projectile really far, or would it just make a misfire where their is light and sound due to the flair gun's magical ability to not do any damage to anything to the point that creatures aren't even intimidated by the flash and bang?

[ocean hemlock]

The tool designed for breaking rock is good against the creature made of rock
Just a little flavor thing

[dense pebble]

do event rates affect single player?

[zenith sun]

why cant i load in

[sick otter]

can someone help me everytime i try to load my host no decited server with my friends it loads for a while at the loading screen then it gets to ark ragnarok proxy then it crashes and says LowLevelError then sends me back to my homescreen on my desktop i looked up alot of videos and none of them are working

[slate widget]

try downloading the center then verify 🙂

[gray harbor]

When the game crashes and deletes the past hours hard work🥲

[burnt goblet]

@slate widget how do I verify my ark game files on windows 10?

[brittle sorrel]

Do cannon balls work on gen1 space?

[violet granite]

what order are the dlcs in?

[slate widget]

there may be a repair button in the windows apps and features, but it isn't always there 🤷 might not even work the same.

[burnt goblet]

May I send you a screenshot of what’s going on?

[ruby spoke]

I have a problem, my ark apparently was restarted when i turned on my pc a few hours ago and i lost my singleplayer survivor, i created a new one and now im able to see my original survivor sleeping, any idea of how to recover it?

[onyx barn]

Probably can't in that case

[ruby spoke]

[ocean hemlock]

How much health does an average rock golem have

[grave needle]

Is there a setting to decrease artifact and cave loot crate respawn time?

[ocean hemlock]

Been chipping away at one 73 damage at a time for like 20 minutes

[grave needle]

What level is it

[ocean hemlock]

4

[grave needle]

Average is 25k

[ocean hemlock]

In that case it should be almost dead
Had time to do the math in my head, 1000 damage is about 14 arrows from my ascendant crossbow
And I've dumped just about 200 into it

I swear imma die of dehydration before this thing kills me
My godly armor makes it so it can't hurt me unless it punches me off a cliff but

[olive egret]

punch fight? you vs the golem?

[spiral flower]

to enable different maps on my ark server, do I just put the dlc map in the ShooterGame folder?

[ocean hemlock]

Been taking potshots at it with a crossbow for most of the fight
On a cliff so it can't reach me and its boulders bounce over me
But yeah, if it did punch me it wouldn't hurt at all

[grave needle]

I think you have to host an individual server for each map

[olive egret]

best way to have mammals breeding while offline?

[spiral flower]

I have a server hosted for The Island but want to switch to Crystal Isles.

[grave needle]

You'll have to rent another server on crystal isles

[olive egret]

you hosting on your own pc or through service provider?

[spiral flower]

I'm self hosting on my linux server

[grave needle]

Oh yeah true. If it's non dedicated just pick a different map when you join

[olive egret]

idk about linux. but if you use Ark Server Manager to set your server up, changing maps is a simple drop down

[spiral flower]

dang

[olive egret]

its a really simple tool that manages all of the annoying stuff for you

[ocean hemlock]

This is the third time I've had to stop to make more ammo lol

[olive egret]

For Science!

next, try using clubs

[ocean hemlock]

For future reference how am I supposed to fight these things

[olive egret]

rocket launchers, cannons

[ocean hemlock]

Finally got it

[olive egret]

wyverns and such

[meager wharf]

whats all the details on ark 2?

do we know anything much at all? also what engine?

[olive egret]

theres a room for that right up there, think thats where all the info would be

[toxic hearth]

did anyone get the 76 gb update for ark on gamepass pc

did anything come out today thats big?

[meager wharf]

Yep, seems windows edition is just got the bad treatment

[toxic hearth]

damn

[meager wharf]

some major updates for servers or something

[toxic hearth]

oh thx

[dense furnace]

is there a way to scare off a raptor early-game? i put off moving my only dino bc i didnt want him to die and i finally decided to do it and we both got killed by a raptor

[sage sinew]

early game? probably only if you find a cactus broth in a drop...

[narrow garnet]

Parasaurs are capable of scaring raptors but they can only do so once every few minutes

[sage sinew]

or run and jump off a cliff...

[dense furnace]

damn

ive heard that its not really worth it to build a base until you have stone, is that true?

stoen foundation+walls and stuff, i mean

[sage sinew]

anything is better than nothing, but yeah, thatch and wood can be destroyed pretty easily by most dinos...

[ruby spoke]

I have a problem, my ark apparently was restarted when i turned on my pc a few hours ago and i lost my singleplayer survivor, i created a new one and now im able to see my original survivor sleeping, any idea of how to recover it?

[flint raven]

does ark even do anything against dupers like god damn

[narrow garnet]

For pvp situations, I think yes? I’m not a pvp player but for PvE, it doesn’t fully matter to much but the best chances of not having it destroyed by Dino’s is using stone as that’s easy enough to get once you hit the right level

[thin umbra]

did they break it for pc now?

[sage sinew]

check for client update... 😦 mine was 76 GB for the main game and 7.6 GB for Aberration....

@silent matrix Any update? last notice was several hours ago...

[dense furnace]

how do i keep finding shit missing from my death spot

[knotty lodge]

I want to answer that literally but... 😆 Maybe someone is taking your things?

[ocean hemlock]

Finally encountered my first mantises
Not much of a threat but
They came carrying some surprisingly advanced gear

[knotty lodge]

tek rifles again?

[ocean hemlock]

I was gonna say electric prods

I'm used to metal tools, pikes and the occasional sword lol

[snow rover]

Is there any way / any tool to know consistently server timers?

[knotty lodge]

I was joking about the rifles.. eletric prod is neat. Didn't know they carried that.

[snow rover]

Without checking transmitter for item timers

[sage sinew]

IronFoxide, yes, but they are VERY rare

[snow rover]

Aside from I guess setting up a 15 min timer or something every 15min 😂

[sage sinew]

Trap... Tek Helmet Hud shows the upload timer

[snow rover]

I just want to have a tool that beeps once every 15 mins on server save or something

yooooooooooooo BET

ty ty 🙏🏼

[sage sinew]

you can set the HUD to toggle in settings...

[dense furnace]

im in singleplayer

[amber sapphire]

What kind of dinos and stats are yall using for the lost island boss?

[rain hawk]

dodo's

[silent matrix]

most people use saddled theris + veggie cakes for the dragon

wait i misread that my bad

ya idk dodos :)

[grave needle]

Oh my god I just had a vintage ark oof moment 🤦‍♂️

Lost my otter, best thyla, only argy, and all my good caving stuff to Lava lmao

[silk prawn]

Is Abberation for Xbox still f’d or

Oop never mind, must have been nightly reset on my end

[snow rover]

is there any way to connect two different structures together so that the foundation support connects between the two?

[knotty lodge]

ceilings and pillars.. will that work?

[snow rover]

that connects the foundational support?

[knotty lodge]

Yes a pillar that touches the ground (sometimes it needs to go through it a bit) will provide foundation support.

[snow rover]

I just want to clarify - I mean if I started two completely separate structures from one another and wanted to just connect them in a manner of which the foundation support extended completely over the object

I get that pillars provide foundation support, but do they have to be snapped to do so?

[ocean hemlock]

There any fast way to get charcoal?
I'm so far relying on just waste products from smelting other stuff but I'm struggling to maintain a half-decent reserve of bullets

[sage sinew]

no, the game regards them as separate structures for foundational support

[snow rover]

or can It just be passing through the structure, and that makes it inherit the foundational structure, effectively connecting the two?

[snow rover]

this is what I thought I recalled

[untold lichen]

Can anyone on ps4 small tribes take me and 1 of my mates into alpha valguero?

[snow rover]

so in that case, you have to extend from an initial structure pathing outwards to expand foundational support - no exceptions? no connecting two structures at all?

[knotty lodge]

so , if you have 2 towers, and you put pillars with ceilings between then to make a bridge, you have connected the 2 structures with a bridge.. that bridge has its own foundation support. They're connected and have foundation support. Not what you want?

[sage sinew]

the "structure tree" starts at the first item and follows through to each end... if it comes up to another structure, that branch ends... only way to simulate it would be to build as much as you can on one structure, then move to the other structure for snapping and try to align it...

unless you are VERY good at spacing, it is not going to be perfect...

[knotty lodge]

Yeah and there are all sorts of tricks like putting a pillar out and then snapping a foundation to a pillar.. its hard to explain but.. watch a lot of youtube. That's what I did lol

[strong pier]

Everyone's first tame on ark

🦤

[knotty lodge]

First food on ark

[silent matrix]

my first tame was a trike 💪 i wanted it to be special

[sage sinew]

nope... mine was a Trike...

[strong pier]

No when you just got the game for the first time

[silent matrix]

"whatever the fuck is making that scary noise further down the beach where i cant see, i will tame it first. special momentz. ark highlight"

yes, when i got the game for the first time. going in blind

dodos are so lovely though i adore them

[strong pier]

Who wants tek dodos?

[silent matrix]

i would hate tek dodos

but some people probably would love it :)

[strong pier]

Tek dodo just a regular dodo but it has flashing lights.

[gleaming thorn]

With higher cap

[sage sinew]

only if it becomes a grenade when thrown...

[knotty lodge]

Speaking of noise I think I have never (and will never) tamed a Gallimimus... I think it's the only dino I have not tamed in ark lol

[tough yarrow]

@empty field use #735196277221883964 for lfg

[empty field]

kk thank you

[strong pier]

Any one just strap c4 to dodos and blow them up?

[frail musk]

Lol I want to try that

[sage sinew]

no, just turtles...

[ocean hemlock]

Mfw I'm low on stone so I decide to go check on my doedelicus that's been wandering the outskirts of my base and it has like 100k

[frail musk]

I just can’t get c4 every time I make progress I get raided

[knotty lodge]

that's a beefy doed

[strong pier]

I wish ark gave us a meme channel.

[tough yarrow]

Nope

[frail musk]

Yeah

[silent matrix]

tbh.. i hate leveling them up too haha

[strong pier]

But this is fine

[ocean hemlock]

Level 68 with several invested in carrying capacity
And some stacking mods help too

[tough yarrow]

Been through the meme trial run, it was a no. Sorry. #bulletin-board-rules for screenshot content yall

[frail musk]

Dose any know a medium size rathole on Ragnarok

[silent matrix]

you make a meme channel and three minutes later someone sends a ""dank meme"" thats just racism and/or gore

[frail musk]

For 4-5 people

[silent matrix]

plus mods would have to look at all of the images to filter them.. nooo no no

[ocean hemlock]

I mean that is considered comedy in a lot of circles
People just understand that the one making the joke probably doesn't mean it

[strong pier]

OK never mine then

Forget memes

[gilded forge]

Question if i tranq an enemys Dino can i retame it for myself?

[silent matrix]

name checks out

[frail musk]

Nope

[strong pier]

Just random questions is better.

[dense furnace]

2 questions:

1. are moschops better berry gatherers than parasaurs?
2. my moschops wont move when i get on its back, what's up?

[knotty lodge]

No and just no lol

[silent matrix]

someone would need to unclaim their dino for you to take it

nice profile btw 👍 the wave mmm

[strong pier]

No but they are good for early fiber.

[slate widget]

1. they have a bigger AOE 🤷
2. make sure the weight isn't over when you get on 🙂

[frail musk]

Ur just to fat drop some stuff from ur inventory

[gilded forge]

@silent matrix Thanks cx and i was just curious

[dense furnace]

how light do i have to be?

[strong pier]

Should ark 2 add more guns?

[silent matrix]

2. its likely over encumbered

3. depends on if you want something passively wandering to gather berries, or if you occasionally want to run around and clear an area of bushes
   moschops can also be ridden and chomp berries, but i prefer using them to passively gather

[frail musk]

Depends look at the weight in its stats

[silent matrix]

dodex lists moschops as 15th best berry gathered

29th for parasaur

@dense furnace

[strong pier]

Is it true scorched earth is a underrated map?

[silent matrix]

look at the top right of your screen. do you see that icon under the food/health/stamina? kinda looks like a weight

[dense furnace]

yeah i see now. Im just confused bc he was fine earlier and my inventory hasnt changed much

[silent matrix]

the more filled up that icon is the more weight is on your moschops. itll move slower, or not at all, if its carrying too much (your weight and what youre carrying affects it)

[dense furnace]

thx guys

[silent matrix]

scorched earth is my second favorite or top fav map

[strong pier]

Ya scorched earth to me seems the easiest.

It has easy caves

[silent matrix]

its just hella fun to me. abberation is the easiest one ive played, rag second easiest

abberation is easy bc its so engaging and fun. the dangers make sense and get me into a perfect mindset to play. similiar thing w scorched earth

[strong pier]

But my biggest question is will ark 2 support mods?

[ocean hemlock]

Ol Doedo here also had excessive amounts of sand that idk what to do with

[dense furnace]

trylobites are like everywhere and they give you a billion chitin

plus oil and silica pearls

[ocean hemlock]

There any use for sand besides adobe base parts?

[slate widget]

a couple other things 🤷 not much tho

[ocean hemlock]

I have like 90k sand lol
Guess I could try and tame the next rock elemental I see

[twilit torrent]

Hey guys quick question, I logged off in the middle of my base and came back to a you died screen (no indication of what killed me) has this happened to anyone?

[dense furnace]

ok i know nothing abt behaviors so excuse me if this is stupid, but is there a behavior that will make my dino attack anything weaker than it and run away from anything bigger?

[twilit torrent]

@dense furnace only passive flee, which runs from everything

[slate widget]

not that I know of aggressive attacks everything, and everything else is either run or attack if it gets attacked :P

oh and passive flee

run if it gets attacked.

[dense furnace]

so unless i set him to flee from all conflict, he'll attack anything that he deems worthy?

[slate widget]

neutral will only have things that attack it be attacked

passive will never attack.

[twilit torrent]

Neutral = attack anything that attacks itself
Aggressive = attack everything
Passive = attack nothing
Passive flee = if it hits it run

[dense furnace]

i just wish i could have it kill dodos and compies for me but run for dear life if it finds a carno or raptor

[slate widget]

a bit complex for ark AI :P they have trouble walking behind somebody without getting stuck :P

[junior mirage]

I just read that you can level your light pets for better regen, capacity or range. But which values do i have to level in for that? I just see "level in regen level in range" but not which of those are meant with that

[slate widget]

light pets have different stats from other creatures

capacity is charge amount, regeneration is how fast it charges, emission range is how strong while also making the range larger.

thats for glowtail btw :P

[junior mirage]

oh geez. Its right there. I didnt see it lol. Thank you very much. I need to increase range on the Bulby as nameless keep spawning when riding the paracer somehow

[slate widget]

thats strange, being in the light should prevent them from spawning regardless of range

[ocean hemlock]

Now
How do I get black pearls on SE

[slate widget]

deathworms I think.

[junior mirage]

I think only from Deathworms and Alpha Deathworms

[junior mirage]

I think its bc the Paracer is too high up ridden so the light doesnt reach the ground

[slate widget]

and phoenix can drop them instead of silica pearls sometimes :P

[slate widget]

maybe but if you get the effect it should stop them from spawning around you 🤷 maybe I'm wrong about that tho.

[ocean hemlock]

K, got it
Those sound scary so gonna ask again about my charcoal problem
Need lots of it to make gunpowder for all the bullets I'll need

[floral vapor]

Anyone know how long it usually takes for a server to come back after a update

[slate widget]

if you have an industrial forge, you can put wood in for tons of charcoal 🙂

[junior mirage]

Black Pearls for Gunpowder??

[ocean hemlock]

No, I need gunpowder for the ammo I'll need to get Black Pearls lol

[junior mirage]

hahaha xD

i used my Fire Wyvern for that. I named him Moltres btw

[slate widget]

but moltres is a phoenix :P

[junior mirage]

I didnt have the patience to tame one. I tried with the wyvern but it just doesnt hold still

[slate widget]

yeah I've never tamed one :P never even seen one as I don't play scorched often 😂

[junior mirage]

well i did but only with Larkator

[slate widget]

ah, PC cheats :P

[ocean hemlock]

I think Doedo brought down a Megatherium while I wasn't looking

[junior mirage]

hehe. If the game wants to make it a endless day long search for one high level then yes

i got my Rock Elemental killed by a Yutty and Carno pack smh. Idk why they would attack him anyways. RIP Bob the Builder

what im wondering. Wouldnt be catapult much more usefull in taming one as you can actively aim with that thing in difference to the cannon

[grizzled path]

omg guys im gonna tame a rex!! (new world)

im gonna use kibble cuz pro

[vague cairn]

wheres the best place to find yutys

[rough thicket]

I love how the patch notes says fixed issues with lost island issues for pretty much all your things disappearing and yet my friend still can't get his server back up. He went around ark to a higher supporter and got it fixed yesterday only for ark to fuck it up again and revert everything he got changed back to fix his server....

[rotund elbow]

Our LostIsland Official server is just crashing every 5 minutes... can't do anything except lay in bed.... and Patch Notes only says fixes to Sinomacrops... like that's a priority.

[dense furnace]

is there a general goal i should be working toward at level 25? like any specific dino i should go after or resource to grind?

[grave needle]

Pteranodon

[dense furnace]

i cant get the saddle yet

[snow rover]

sorry for the timely response, i want to try and depict what i'm trying to do; I linked my foundation support layout on top of a cliff in #building-screenshots - I was going to go into singleplayer and test out placing and testing out builds, but I realized that it is a seemingly fruitless attempt, at least from what I can tell, because I won't be able to replicate what I do in singleplayer because the exact placed layout is already there

[grave needle]

Lol yeah, that's what you should be working toward

[tough cypress]

Our server has been offline for almost 24 hours

[snow rover]

That's why I was asking if I could connect two different structures together - if i could just place another pillar, exactly where I wanted, and just connect it to that foundation layout, while building what I work on in singleplayer, that would be perfect for me, I just dunno if it's possible

I think i'm gonna have to continue from that structure that exists there

[dense furnace]

yeah but thats just XP grinding which i already have to do. i was wondering if there was anything at my current level to do, or if i should just try to grind for levels

[long flicker]

pteranodon, metal gear, and just levelling up a lot

[knotty lodge]

NP well... I feel like you understand how it works. You can have them connect somewhere or you can't. Why not take a night off and look at it with f resh eyes this weekend? Sometimes I quit a build for a day and the next day find a solution. If you get it the way you want, post a new SS for us to see 🙂

[ocean hemlock]

If you're the creative type I reccomend starting some big construction project
On my first run of the Island I gained about 50 levels from building this big boathouse across the bay at south spawn 1 only to realize rafts don't collide with base parts for whatever reason

[snow rover]

the first part of the project is taking and replacing everything there with tek instead of metal 😅 but once I get the build figured out and sorted, I think it will be pretty nice

[slim dove]

can doedicurus harvest metal?

[slate widget]

No, they will only get stone.

[frail musk]

No

Ankys get metal

[weary urchin]

can you harpoon net rexes?

[long flicker]

they can get metal from certain obsidian nodes but it's easier to use ankies

[quartz kraken]

what's the best egg y'all recommend for Taming the snakes
an easy egg to get if I recall they took eggs passively?

[long flicker]

nope, too big

[long flicker]

giga egg

or if you don't have giga eggs, use any random largest egg you have

[quartz kraken]

Gigas aren't easy for me😂

[long flicker]

they're snakes, they're useless
giga egg would make taming less of a pain

[quartz kraken]

do they need to be fertile?

[long flicker]

yeah

[quartz kraken]

I have a female Tek Rex would that work if I ever get male

[long flicker]

yeah

[quartz kraken]

imagine using a wyvern egg though😂

[weary urchin]

[quartz kraken]

also it's just so I can do the tame everything achievement really
I still can't fully do it due to no Gen 2 for some stuff

[long flicker]

don't think they eat that

[long flicker]

the tame everything achievement only includes island dinos

[quartz kraken]

but still

[quartz kraken]

the island map?

[long flicker]

yeah

no DLC dinos

[quartz kraken]

I hate it then 😂

[ocean hemlock]

Ran into and managed to beat my first Death Worm

[long flicker]

nice

mine was kinda anti climactic lol

I just used my 2 spinos and fucked it up

[quartz kraken]

what's the best against worms?

[ocean hemlock]

I just strafed it while poking it with my really good pike lol

[long flicker]

anything that's strong

[quartz kraken]

😑

[silent matrix]

so nothing

[long flicker]

talking in multiple convos at once is hard

[quartz kraken]

smart really

[knotty lodge]

oil and fire

[quartz kraken]

so what you mean by smart is

someone in here that REALLY has good dinos for fighting them

[silent matrix]

If it was smart then there is absolutely no creature to use but for strong take something that is both mate and pack boost

[ocean hemlock]

Ran into a second one and this one one-shotted me lol

[silent matrix]

I've never fought a worm before

[ocean hemlock]

Are you fond of your pants

[quartz kraken]

I attempted 1 accidentally

ran into in the desert on lost island😂

[knotty lodge]

for real 🙂 when all else fails, use fire

[quartz kraken]

I started losing Dino's so I just exited

[ocean hemlock]

I was just stumbling around this huge sandy area I found when I noticed a bulge getting closer to me lol

[verbal roost]

🤨

[tiny crest]

anyone know what they fixed on the sinocrops with this last patch?

[quartz kraken]

I checked wiki apparently it was taking kibble it's no longer then again IDK the current build so😂

[weary urchin]

i just knocked out a 135 barry....
POOOG

[eternal bane]

That’s great my friend lost my argentavis again that’s GREAT

[midnight tartan]

Why did I just get a 23GB update?

[silent matrix]

Because it's ARK. 23GB is a small update. You're lucky

[lone osprey]

quick stupid question whats the exact release date for fjodur?

did they even give an exact date or

[humble sky]

anyone know how to do lost island boss now that glitch is patched?

[young stone]

Gigas?

[humble sky]

how?

cant do boss with those unless you cheat

[long flicker]

not so far I think

[long flicker]

idk which glitch, but I don't see why regular bossfighters wouldn't work

[young stone]

Then do dinopithicus

[long flicker]

can't bring gigas into bossfights

[young stone]

Plural

[pliant locust]

I doubt that need good tames. I hope they don’t fix the Gen2 boss glitch involving diplos/dinos who can carry passengers tho, as being forced to complete all missions on alpha is extreme, even if I as a solo find some ppl to help me
(Whait the cheat was referring to gigas right ? Thought about the glitch fixed)

[long flicker]

gen 2 alpha is literally impossible solo because of the gauntlet missions lol
don't know what they were thinking

and can't do dodoball solo either

[pliant locust]

Yea and stuff like star dolphin etc is terrible, I got the hunts on alpha solo, but some of the races especially are nothing but infuriating, the lag is terrible in those even when the server itself isn’t, tried at night with like 3 ppl on when gameplay was super smooth. Worst decision to make such missions mandatory for everyone to just participate

[young stone]

Try it on xbox

[long flicker]

tbh gen 2 aren't as bad, apart from the KO missions
I haven't managed to do alpha starwing strike so far, and man I hate it, but it does feel possible with enough practice
tho I'm on singleplayer so I Don't deal with lag, can imagine it'd be pretty much impossible with lag or with a controller lol

[long flicker]

talking about the race, not the other one
I hate the controls on the race

the other one I haven't tried yet

[pliant locust]

Ye there’s like rubberbanding etc and given how extremely edgy the races are, time and dmg wise, even without a rubberbanding into a wall is super annoying.
Gen1 at least only requires one person for the final test on alpha to have finished all the missions, then ppl with no missions can join and get carried. Taking that away for Gen2 is terrible IMO.
But then again the boss on gen1 is basically impossible to solo on beta/alpha, even gamma is extreme if u alone

[long flicker]

the boss on gen 1 is possible solo (not including the missions, of course) but it's VERY hard
I know couple people who've done it solo, though with extremely strong dinos and shit

gen 2 boss is kinda on the average side I think in terms of difficulty, right?

[pliant locust]

Hm I’m not sure about alpha, I tried gamma about 6 times solo with various strategies and dinos (all were capped lines, maxed saddles or 250+ reapers) but the main issue is to get on the ground dismounted multiple times in that super short time you got in the last stage.
Gen2 was actually super easy, I did it some days ago on gamma alone, one really good shadowmane and 6 rexes with 70k hp and 3.5k + melee. Was total overkill, I didn’t even need to shoot the boss or tentacles as the rexes did all the dmg

[long flicker]

keep in mind 70k and 3.5K damage isn't something you're getting on unofficial or singleplayer lol

well ig you COULD get it on unofficial
but not much point

[pliant locust]

I feel unofficial normally has much higher stats ?
But anyways you can always subsidize the rexes with a good shotgun and a tek rifle. Just any Dino that’s a bit tanky such as a decent reaper or even stegos will do, then you just shoot the tentacles/Rockwell

[quartz kraken]

to recap I should just swap to the island again and tame everything on it right easier wise

[long flicker]

depends, not all of them would be would be boosted lol

I say lol too often

[quartz kraken]

I do as well😂

[long flicker]

don't need to be on the island, just need to tame dinos that are present on the island

you can tame a parasaur on ragnarok and it'll still count

[quartz kraken]

like I said to be easier to keep track of

[long flicker]

but yeah I'd say average difficulty, since not as easy as manticore or monke

[quartz kraken]

but it also means I don't have to take the turtle now the GIANT turtle

[pliant locust]

Yea but still Gen2 on gamma (rest prolly too it doesn’t scale that much) is one of the easier bosses, esp since u can take many tanky dinos in and then just safely shoot it.
Btw the rexes took hardly any dmg, so older boss lines will defo do too

[long flicker]

megachelons are so fucking annoying o tame

[quartz kraken]

I need a spreed sheet or something to note down which are island and which I have to still tame snakes and spiders be 1 still and centipedes

[long flicker]

I think you can check what you've tamed so far using dossiers and shit, not sure tho

[quartz kraken]

don't you fill it out from the notes? idk I've barely gathered notes😂

[prisma sand]

I’ll never tame one again. Worst tame mechanic in the game by far.

[quartz kraken]

also I noticed that my basilo is ok against a shark while I'm on her could she in theory stand up to an alpha? I've my sarcos as well so if I encounter one I've got help

also not high level sharks btw

[silent matrix]

basilos from what i know are serious business once tamed

[long flicker]

depends on its own level and stats

[silent matrix]

and your sarcos too, yeah :)

easiest way to win any fight is flood and spam dinos lol. ai gets confused, or just focuses on one, lacking an AOE attack, and the rest Devour

have fun bro

[long flicker]

then you realise that you're fighting a giga

[silent matrix]

Ehhh

[long flicker]

and you fucking die immediately

gigas have insane AOE, spamming dinos won't work very well

[silent matrix]

I disagree, but we likley have different defintiions of swarm tactics

[quartz kraken]

I trust these sarcos with my Life but unsure about the other yet

[long flicker]

don't see how disagreements over facts can happen

[quartz kraken]

I've got a very good one for Alpha sharks on the island I really trust

[long flicker]

AOE isn't an opinion based thing

[quartz kraken]

my opinion is I don't wanna fight Gigas😂

[long flicker]

my opinion is I'll use my mega ultra super strong dino to get killed by a giga

their damage isn't THAT much against good strong dinos but the bleed with the AOE hurts

[silent matrix]

Are you choosing to not read what I'm saying, or is my wording off? What part of what I said gives you the impression that this message is in any way relevant?

[quartz kraken]

shoot I missed who got that bronto kill😂

[long flicker]

"I disagree, but we likely have different definitions of swarm tactics"
no matter what definition of swarm tactics are used, I Don't see how that makes you disagree over the fact that gigas have a large AOE

ah, nothing like reading conspiracy theories of a fucking cubic sun on reddit

[quartz kraken]

I need a bug cave anyone got ones location for the Lost island😂

[long flicker]

the sun is a fucking cube, of course

[quartz kraken]

spoiler I'll have you know😂

[long flicker]

of course, the moon landing conspiracy was made by the government to distract us from learning the truth of the cubic sun

[glad pollen]

@azure bough why did u block me

[quartz kraken]

if they blocked you I don't think they'll see your ping

[glad pollen]

Uhh can u ping him then or somin

[tardy eagle]

health mutations on gigas worth it?

[long flicker]

nope

[azure bough]

@glad pollen I didn't mean to my bad bro

[glad pollen]

Oh shi

[fickle adder]

can someone confirm that ark survival microsoft server doesn't work?

[quartz kraken]

I got a horse legit stuck😂

I didn't know he'd be halfway stuck in a door frame😂

ascendant Equis how I come
still have unused ascendant saddle for em

[junior mirage]

Damn Karkinos is simply the Argentavis from other Aberation ^^

[long flicker]

karkinos are great

[junior mirage]

Yeah they really are great

[quartz kraken]

I don't even mind it's a level 4 RN I'd prefer that one I was attempting last time around but this one's just as good I guess
colors was sweet on the other

orange with black stripes they was

[agile moon]

Here is an idea for an update they could add during the Easter event.
You have a tamed male oviraptor, and there is a bunny oviraptor. You whistle it to attack, and it will instead run up and mate with it. The bunny oviraptor then lays a super higher quality loot as a result.

[quartz kraken]

maybe but doubtful

good idea atleast

[royal shadow]

ahhh my official server isnt popping up

what do i do??

[quartz kraken]

it should eventually idk I don't do servers

halfway through the taming now I left to get blanket so I paused it for like 3 minutes but my nephew refused to give the blanket up 😂

[wispy frigate]

A cube sun and a flat earth
Whats next, a triangle moon?

[quartz kraken]

maybe

[long flicker]

no no,
the moon is a hoax created to distract us from the truth of the cubic sun

what's funny is that a guy in a different server said nearly the exact same thing as you, triangle moon lmao

[wispy frigate]

Great minds think alike

[long flicker]

he also said that he's sceptical of the moon landing
sooooo

[quartz kraken]

btw which Boss gives the Tek replicator? and the difficulty is what

[lone osprey]

oh alr ty

im honestly only hyped for the hawk thing announced for fjodur thats it lol

[wispy frigate]

I see

[wispy frigate]

Meh
The creature itself sounds way too op but I’m hoping the animations look amazing

[wispy frigate]

All except moeder iirc
Idk difficulty, but probably beta+

[long flicker]

"way too op"
it'll probably fucking die immediately after picking up your gear

because, you know, ark dinos

[wispy frigate]

If thats the case then it’ll be useful for getting your stuff back from carniflora xD

1 meter at a time

[lone osprey]

honestly its prob gonna be far from op lol

its cool and the vulture is one of my favs so naturally the hawk appealed to me too

[long flicker]

yea

if you want OP
sinomacrops

[lone osprey]

its sick that it can scout and retrieve items but likely doesnt have good weight

[lone osprey]

true

i really hate how the creature vote went bruh

[long flicker]

probably can pick up like 10 weight of gear before it gets overweight

[quartz kraken]

gers😂

[lone osprey]

just a reskinned onyc and another large rex shaped carnivore like we dont have enough of those

[wispy frigate]

Getting your stuff back with next to no effort doesn’t sound op to you?

[lone osprey]

shocked that rex lookin thing won the creature vote its so bland and utterly stupid imo

the bats just weird bru

[quartz kraken]

we need a better healing pig one that's not starving constantly😂

[lone osprey]

its gonna have horrendous weight it balances out

[wispy frigate]

I doubt wc would make such a big deal of that in the dossier if it has like 20 weight

[long flicker]

having a jetpack on day 2 doesn't sound OP to you?

[wispy frigate]

I’m not talking about sino, I already know thats op

[long flicker]

ah ok

[wispy frigate]

It didn’t? Lol

[lone osprey]

the hawks not op whatsoever i can tell already its prob gonna lose any hype it has fast anyways

[quartz kraken]

it's taking me forever to get one 😂

[long flicker]

it really doesn't, it's going to be entirely vulnerable when getting your shit and can only get as much shit as it can carry

[lone osprey]

right

its gonna have horrendous weight and probably horrible health too

hoping its fast and has cool animations thats all i need tbh

[quartz kraken]

I definitely would need that hawk 😂 just lemme throw 1k weight on it and I'll be set

[lone osprey]

also are they keeping the weird fenrir thing that was with fjodur or are the devs removing it

the weird wolf thing i forgot the exact name

[quartz kraken]

i keep my weight cap at 500 so I'd say 1k is just Incase

[wispy frigate]

I hope they either change or remove it

I don’t like fenrir at its current state

[glad pollen]

[lone osprey]

i dont rlly care for it tbh

i expect them to remove it tho

it feels like theyre gonna idk

i was seriously hoping for the bison or myotragus to win the creature vote but unfortunately first place was the bat thing bruh

[static fjord]

what would the bison even do.

[quartz kraken]

heal hopefully but slowly drain food 😂

[lone osprey]

the description involved some cool stuff

[snow rover]

seems like tek triangle foundations are by far the cheapest foundation coverage in the tek tier right?

[lone osprey]

it wouldve been a nice unique addition

[static fjord]

such as?

[quartz kraken]

dunno I just want that bridge😂

[lone osprey]

the myotragus seemed so useful and honestly wouldve been nice to add considering the creatures being added lately but oh well

[long flicker]

fenrir I think

[lone osprey]

thats it? thats the name?

[static fjord]

the unofficial dossier isnt the actual things, i think wildcard could of done something more creative with a bloodsucking bat rather than a bison.

[lone osprey]

reskinned onyc lol

its just stupid to me personally its just my opinion

[long flicker]

idk what it is but it sounds good

[static fjord]

and what'd the bison be? reskinned ovis?

[long flicker]

*resized

[lone osprey]

an ovis is a sheep..

[long flicker]

a ridable bat? fuck yeah!

[long flicker]

and a giant bat is not a tiny bat....

[quartz kraken]

a male ovis 😂

[static fjord]

both are what i'd assume are farm animals.

dont really see someone using a bison as a combat mount in a world where rexes are right around the corner.

[quartz kraken]

I would if it was a healer

[static fjord]

nice so reskinned daeodon/owl?

[quartz kraken]

and didn't die fast to starvation

[static fjord]

its not like food is much of a factor when using an owl.

[lone osprey]

the bison involved like breeding buffs the milk with buffs against temp and stuff and a few other things i forgot but even the map creature was endorsing it

smth about the map needing more mammals

[wispy frigate]

Literally everything in the vote except the rhynio could be taken as a reskin of something already in the game
At some point you have to think beyond that frame of mind

[long flicker]

what if the bison is as slow as an owl but takes as much food as a daeodon?

[quartz kraken]

maybe it's milk could be a substitute for wyverns

[static fjord]

breeding buffs? isnt that procoptodon? and milk against temp, isnt that wyvern milk?

[long flicker]

it's not about "reskin" or not
it's about what tehy do with it

[wispy frigate]

Exactly

[lone osprey]

i think it mentioned that actually which wouldve been sick

[long flicker]

if carcharodontosaurus is unique and interesting (and not a pain to tame) tehn I don't mind it at all, even though it's a generic theropod

[lone osprey]

its not unique whatsoever bruh

[long flicker]

we don't even know what they're doing with it...

the dossier says very little about a dino

[lone osprey]

its just another large rex lookin carnivore its not special

[static fjord]

i mean it is pretty difficult to make a big theropod be unique, but we can see.

[lone osprey]

yeah

[quartz kraken]

if this actually happened I'm ditching this Rex saber wolf argy 3 allos and sarco and getting myself a fire breathing army😂

[lone osprey]

kinda hard considering ark is full of em

[long flicker]

what did I literally just say

[static fjord]

i mean its not like a bison is anything more creative.

[lone osprey]

ig

[long flicker]

I'm fine with anything as long as it's interesting

[lone osprey]

it felt unique i liked it

[static fjord]

it could be a perfect nanny or just be an undersized poor mans mammoth.

[long flicker]

I don't need "special" in a game that already has a hundred dinos

[quartz kraken]

it could be very creative with it's abilities

[long flicker]

I want interesting, that's about it

[lone osprey]

i wouldve preferred the myotragus over anything it seemed unique and a decent early to mid game tame and kinda fit the map a bit

[static fjord]

i agree.

[quartz kraken]

I should try again for a sinomacrops soon

[long flicker]

and we won't know it until it's out

[wispy frigate]

Nah man just an ovis reskin
See? See how that logic can be used on anything?

To be clear, myotragus was my #1

[lone osprey]

did u even read the dossier lol

[long flicker]

to be clear
I'm not voting so I can complain about whatever gets chosen

[lone osprey]

its actually unique

[silent matrix]

something relevant I hope

[long flicker]

bruh

[silent matrix]

Can you use flyers in Rockwell's innards

hi

[static fjord]

yes

[quartz kraken]

pretty much the same

[long flicker]

it wasn't "irrelevant" last time either

[wispy frigate]

Did you even read the directions lol

I swear, its not that hard to read pinned messages, directions, etc

[quartz kraken]

although it's more like oh that's interesting what's it do do I have to grind just for making it's saddle I don't wanna grind more😂

[long flicker]

I just look at it, think "oh that's neat"
then go back to breeding my horses and being a happy man

[silent matrix]

do you have a source to back this claim?

[static fjord]

i'd rather take a bat over what seems like an ordinary goat because at least you can be a bit more creative with the bat.

[long flicker]

scroll up for about 50 years

[quartz kraken]

or use the search option

[silent matrix]

sounds like plagiarism. youre going to fail english class at this rate

[long flicker]

found it

[long flicker]

I'm confused

[ocean hemlock]

Found the Wyverns
So far they're
Surprisingly tame compared to other beasts I've taken on

[quartz kraken]

and cut that time by 20 years

[wispy frigate]

Game doesn’t really need more fliers, and I feel like goat fits the map more
Thats why goat was above bat for me

[silent matrix]

😄

[long flicker]

for me
so little detail was provided that I don't see any point in voting for anything really

[static fjord]

yeah but from a perspective of how cool the new creature would be, i'd take a bat over a goat.

[long flicker]

totally not the fact that I never bothered to look at the dinos we're voting for

[silent matrix]

a very very vague concept is taken and then WC goes off doing what they want with it

[static fjord]

i dont really mind more fliers considering theres only like 2 people actually use.

[lone osprey]

it might not have been a late game tame but still seemed fitting for the map and would’ve been cool

[quartz kraken]

also I would love to vote or to have voted but I really don't care what's added😂

[lone osprey]

also i wouldve killed for goat babies lol

[wispy frigate]

Fair enough
I just think the pros for the goat outweigh the cons enough to be better than the bat

[long flicker]

oh, another thing I don't like about newer dinos
if they completely replace older dinos

ahem sinomacrops

[lone osprey]

sinos infuriate me in a way i cant explain idk why

[quartz kraken]

hey sinomacrops was required😂

[static fjord]

i havent even seen sino.

[long flicker]

they're OP and they replace archa entirely

[lone osprey]

theyre cool but

[long flicker]

instead of making the archa better ,they just went and added the sino

[ocean hemlock]

Gonna drop my latest hot take real quick
What this game could use is more buildable alternatives to taming
Cars, planes and the like

[quartz kraken]

for when you forget to bring an argy in a cryopod or following😂

[long flicker]

haha dune buggy go brrr

[lone osprey]

the thing in the redwoods?

[long flicker]

yeah

[lone osprey]

ive never seen anyone use em

[long flicker]

exactly

[silent matrix]

archa rlly just is poor man's sino huh

archa is for people who dont want to download the 60gb dlc

[lone osprey]

theyre adorable tho i love em

[quartz kraken]

my friend uses them

[static fjord]

i use archas a lot, probably one of my favourite dinos.

[quartz kraken]

or used one

[lone osprey]

theyre cool

[wispy frigate]

See bob, this is true

[static fjord]

quick and easy transportation that can be tamed as soon as you get access to a bola.

[long flicker]

even just making htem proper shoulder pets would be so much better, but nooo
add a fucking jetpack that replaces the archa

[quartz kraken]

I can't stand anything but a dimorphadon on my shoulder unless it's an otter

[wispy frigate]

Sino is better than archa in every way, but it comes at a cost
60 gigs of download xD

[lone osprey]

they only glide tho like the sina can lift u up

[long flicker]

that's... my point

[lone osprey]

archas taming food is so odd

[long flicker]

dis

[lone osprey]

it was chitin right

[quartz kraken]

isn't it chitin as well?

[long flicker]

completely replaced the archa, likes chitin, is a glider, is a proper shoulder pet
I hate it

[silent matrix]

i really do adore the sino tbh

[lone osprey]

yeah

the amar honestly stole my heart as my favorite new creature i despise the other two

[weary jay]

This game really is the size of a phonebook

[wispy frigate]

Don’t listen to bob, he’s a hypocrite

[long flicker]

I'm hoping nothing like this happens this DLC

[quartz kraken]

anyways back to taming this horse I did accidentally hop off 😂

[wispy frigate]

Doesn’t like note runs but does them himself

[weary jay]

They literally just took the yellow pages and shoved them into my PC

[long flicker]

you running around ruining my reputation man ;-;

[wispy frigate]

[long flicker]

hey, I don't want to spend 4 hours getting out of early game ;-;

[weary jay]

Tbf, does anyone like waiting 17 hours to tame or rotting their brain breeding for mutations

[long flicker]

that's not what note runs do tho

[quartz kraken]

also who was it that told me bring carrots next attempt?

[wispy frigate]

What does that have to do with note runs

[lone osprey]

honestly breeding for mutations is fun

[ocean hemlock]

Imagine relying on tames

[long flicker]

It has to do with slomo
this man knows!

[weary jay]

Well, it's the idea of "I don't like this but I'll do it anyway"

[long flicker]

he knows my usage of slomo!

[lone osprey]

no matter what map or server i always go on an equus or daedon breeding spree its entertaining

[ocean hemlock]

I've brought down a death worm on foot over here lol

[long flicker]

I haven't gotten horses in a while but I definitely want one again, they're really nice

[lone osprey]

i love the equus

theyre one of my fav creatures tbh

[long flicker]

same

[wispy frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/blame-always-blame-fm-fm-always-fm-gif-24099661

[long flicker]

smh stealing gifs

[lone osprey]

i always had a liking for mostly equus stegos pachyrhinos and ovis idk why

[wispy frigate]

Lol
Its a public gif, anyone can access it

[quartz kraken]

I still not using carrots 😂

[lone osprey]

i like early to mid game tames the most

[weary jay]

Aren't stegos unironically good

[lone osprey]

stegos are insanely good

[long flicker]

yeah they're great

[quartz kraken]

but I'm using a taming pen of sorts atleast

[lone osprey]

the tlc made em insane

[weary jay]

Wyverns are an early game tame 🧠

[wispy frigate]

Crystals are

[quartz kraken]

if you wanna suffer I guess

[weary jay]

I just sacked a ptera for eggs

Preserving bins freeze eggs entirely which is super nice

[lone osprey]

does anyone bother with the phoenix lol

[static fjord]

yes

[long flicker]

if you find one then it's worth getting

[weary jay]

So even if you can't build a trap and get tons of milk yet, you can wait as long as needed

[static fjord]

phoenixes have that cool use of being a living artifact

[long flicker]

not worth running around trying to find one though

[lone osprey]

theyre good but so annoyingly rare

also they dont land which bothers me

[quartz kraken]

I should tame a maewing for getting fire wyvern eggs

[long flicker]

maewings arne't good for wyvern eggs
they can't go up at all

[long flicker]

it's pretty annoying, yeah

[quartz kraken]

but it also means getting a knocked out wyvern female😂

[long flicker]

ezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[quartz kraken]

I thought way earlier someone said maewing

[long flicker]

I fell asleep mid sentence

[quartz kraken]

not when ur me

[long flicker]

I'm kidding lol, never KO'd a wyvern

[lone osprey]

admittedly i rarely ever bother with wyverns i always forget theyre in the game

[static fjord]

maewings are the 1 thing you dont bring to a place where you need to actively chanve your altitude.

[long flicker]

yep

[wispy frigate]

For finding the eggs, no
As a getaway dino, yeah

[long flicker]

anyway, you guys have fun arguing
I'll be busy being sad because of RNG

[quartz kraken]

let's just say I refuse to use taming pens for say a giga and such

[lone osprey]

i never go near the wyvern trench on rag for example except to get equus in the highlands and always forget its there

[wispy frigate]

Bye bob

[static fjord]

as a getway? youre going to be faceplanting the trench before you can even get the egg

[long flicker]

I think perry meant after you're out of the trench

[lone osprey]

ez use a dodo

[long flicker]

nevermidn I'm staying here, I'll play pvz instead

pvz free has an ad every fucking second man

[wispy frigate]

I didn’t lol

[long flicker]

ah, EA

[long flicker]

ok then I agree with wivern

keep in mind you're talking to the maewing expert B)

[lone osprey]

theoretically could i attach c4 to dodos

[wispy frigate]

Haven’t gone to many trenches, but the one on li at least has very little vertical terrain

[quartz kraken]

well more like I'm to lazy to do pens and traps they're not hard to do but I don't wanna grind heck I even procrastinate farming metal😂

[static fjord]

i havent even played LI champ, j dont even know what it looks like

[weary jay]

People apparently do this in pvp and just airbomb bases

[long flicker]

me with me 10k metal ingots
pathetic

[wispy frigate]

Well I assumed we were mostly talking about li since its the only map with both maewings and a trench

[lone osprey]

oh my god i have to try it

[quartz kraken]

I don't mind pings😂

[long flicker]

haha transferring go brr

[wispy frigate]

Ping

[long flicker]

it's a bug that makes pings disappear

[lone osprey]

i usually just swarm beginners with a pack of onycs just to be mean

[long flicker]

D:

[quartz kraken]

I said pings not pinh

[snow rover]

if I started a character on a server to scout around, and I wanted to transfer my main character to that server, do I have to transfer the new survivor out? how does that work?

[wispy frigate]

Test

[static fjord]

okay but for a dino to be used to steal wyvern eggs i'd assume you'd want it to be able to steal eggs in more than a trench.

[lone osprey]

its just for the fun of it i always feel guilty after but its so fun watching max level onycs shred players

[long flicker]

it only happens sometimes, idk what triggers it

[static fjord]

1 trench*

[wispy frigate]

Looks like if you edit the same line. Like this

[quartz kraken]

only when y'all edit them they go away

[long flicker]

I think, yeah

[snow rover]

I don't want to risk my main survivor 😅 but I have always wondered this

[wispy frigate]

Aha it worked

[long flicker]

anyway, back to the flex
me with my 10k metal B)

[wispy frigate]

Yeah I just meant for li

[wispy frigate]

Thats like nothing

[lone osprey]

theoretically couldnt i do the bosses with a bunch of rhinos lol

[long flicker]

I only did a 20-25 minute long metal run, didn't need more metal so didn't bother to get more for the moment

[long flicker]

it's a common tactic

[ocean hemlock]

Honestly when it comes to bugs
Worst one was when I got punished hard for the cave base I was so proud of

[wispy frigate]

10k in a half hour
smh so slow

[lone osprey]

the rhinos are shockingly underutilized in pvp i never see em theyre so good

[lone osprey]

fr?

[long flicker]

look who's talking, with the 2.5x harvesting!

[wispy frigate]

Only when ridden

[weary jay]

how tf do you handle fabricating stuff like mc/ascendant saddles that take several thousand of several materials? Grinding the mats is a lot easier with good tames, but the stack limit in the fabricator is rough

[long flicker]

yeah

[ocean hemlock]

For some reason the creatures inside a cave load before the collision of the cave itself
So I had to watch as my army of like 15 scorpions all fell into the void and died

[wispy frigate]

Tek rep

[long flicker]

people use tek replicators for those

[weary jay]

😩

[long flicker]

D: that sucks

[weary jay]

So these blueprints are useless

[wispy frigate]

Even then, you can get tropeo bps that literally cannot be crafted

[long flicker]

I am clearly superior

[long flicker]

mosa bp's too

[wispy frigate]

Haven’t heard of mosas but I don’t doubt it

[lone osprey]

speaking of tropeos literally why did nobody talk about em after a week

[long flicker]

no idea

[lone osprey]

i forgot those tropeo mfs existed

[weary jay]

Bruh, I thought you have to beat bosses before tek? How am I gonna get good saddles to beat a boss if I have to beat a boss to be able to craft the saddles

[long flicker]

anyway Im off, cya in a bit

[lone osprey]

i forgot crystal isles was added actually

[wispy frigate]

Bye bob 2.0

[long flicker]

because you don't need THAT good of a saddle

[static fjord]

theyre fun to fly on but thats about it

[quartz kraken]

I'm on the default harvest setting😂

[wispy frigate]

Delphis superior

[static fjord]

totally.

[ocean hemlock]

Also can I ask again why the level cap is only 105
Feels really low imo, at least with a high XP multiplier
Been on this save for 2 days and already capped it

[quartz kraken]

after this horse I should go and farm the abberation cave again maybe the loot respawned by now

[wispy frigate]

With explorer notes, leveling is extremely easy
Even without notes its also super easy

Also lvl cap is 180, not 105

[silent matrix]

tropeos are incredibly pretty, and i love that you can ride without a saddle. the taming method is just.. really sad, and the saddle seems like I would hate to use it. i dont enjoy tek, especailly tek saddles
but i ought to try it sometime

[weary jay]

So with the timers and stuff on dododex, does that mean I can leave an animal alone in singleplayer, and after stasis it'll still lose food when I reload it?

[quartz kraken]

Chibis can increase it max level as well

[weary jay]

Or do I have to stay in the vicinity and just sob in a corner

[quartz kraken]

just need Alphas

[wispy frigate]

Doesn’t need to be in render

[weary jay]

big

[quartz kraken]

wish it'd work with a pego😂

[weary jay]

Finally

pegos are such a pain

Half the beach animals are a pain in the ass, but at least they're nuisances and not gigas

Imagine having to deal with beach bob probs, this post was made by start-in-highlands gang

[quartz kraken]

I'm always near the shoreline😂

[lone osprey]

pegos are so fun to use in pvp

itchyornis too its fun

solely because theyre so annoying

[quartz kraken]

the island was next to the ocean
the Lost island next to the ocean
crystal isleswhat little I playednext to the ocean

[weary jay]

Even the beaches in highlands are stupid easy

[ocean hemlock]

Same
Being near water really makes things easier on top of looking nice

[quartz kraken]

even Ragnarok was next to the ocean

[weary jay]

Dead basilos and no real nuisance animals

[long flicker]

I exist again

[quartz kraken]

no u don't

[weary jay]

Put him back in the cryopod

[long flicker]

D:

[pliant locust]

That’s what I liked about atlas in the start (before first wipe and they made the game progressively worse after that) you had to do many more “realistic” chores to survive xD

[quartz kraken]

that's not my department I thought it was yours

[lone osprey]

except the dozen itchthyornis that spawn there sadly

i spelled that wrong but oh well ig

[ocean hemlock]

I made it to like level 80 as a mundane hunter-gatherer lol

[lone osprey]

the equus spawns and accessibility to carrots makes rag my fav map lmao

the most aesthetically pleasing map imo is the center its not even close

[weary jay]

Equus 🧠

[rough thicket]

So my buddy who got his server fixed than had it disappear again. He went through nitrado or whatever that companies name is that's with Microsoft to get his server fixed and back up as it was supposed to be and was able to. And when it got shut down Microsoft wiped the server and not only wiped it but suspended his server cause he went to nitrado who was able to fix it and Microsoft wasn't able to. So He just got a F*** you from Microsoft cause he didn't go through them when they are the reason his server kept going down in the first place.

[weary jay]

Plus you don't spend much time on the beach at all since all you need there is basilos

[lone osprey]

true

even in late game nothing terrifies me more then a mantis tbh

theyre terrifying the way they lunge at u

[weary jay]

Probably the suddenness and hissing

[rough thicket]

So Microsoft got jealous cause someone else fixed Microsoft's fuck up.

[weary jay]

I was scared of kapros until I went everywhere on my wyvern

[lone osprey]

arthros also give me fucking heart attacks

kapros are so annoying

[weary jay]

Why arthros? They're slow af and easy to stay away from

[lone osprey]

they literally one shot armor

[weary jay]

Kapros legit ambush your ass

[quartz kraken]

kapros still give me a jump😂

[lone osprey]

im utterly terrified of therizinos tbh

[weary jay]

I've found the easiest combo on rag is to just run a wyvern + griffin with one in the cryopod

If you really need to be sure nothing fucks with you, ride the wyvern

[static fjord]

arthros are so cancerous once they hit you while youre in better than base engram tek armor

[lone osprey]

omg i forgot griffins are on rag

[weary jay]

issue is levels

[lone osprey]

wait holy shit i genuinely forgot griffins existed

[weary jay]

Speaking of which

I'm still relatively new and rag is the first map I'm playing on; why tf are all the basilos so low level

[quartz kraken]

I can't wait to go against those😂

[lone osprey]

idk i had that issue for a while too

[weary jay]

Is this normal or do I just need to suffer the rng loop

[lone osprey]

it took so long to find a 150 for me

[quartz kraken]

difficulty

[weary jay]

I turned it to max

[static fjord]

rag has better level distribution than normal, youre just unlucky

[weary jay]

But, I do see people saying "difficulty 5" and stuff when max on my slider is only 1

[lone osprey]

make sure to kill the shitty lvls

[quartz kraken]

then idk did you set it max prior to playing

[weary jay]

It's been at max the whole time to help with getting levels

[static fjord]

Thats because difficulty 5 in ini is max 150 but on the slider its also 150.

[lone osprey]

in the settings u set the option that allows max lvl spawns right

[weary jay]

Wait what-

[static fjord]

you need to actually use ini to get max 150 because the controls are bugged and max is 120 for pc otherwise

[lone osprey]

u checked the box for max lvl spawns?

[quartz kraken]

also there's a max difficulty setting separate sets I think all wild dinos to Max if I recall?

[weary jay]

I'll get on my PC in a minute and see

[weary jay]

I'd feel a bit scummy using that, lol

[lone osprey]

i had an issue like that until i checked the box in settings for it lol

[quartz kraken]

I'm also soaking from Xbox knowledge😂

speaking

[weary jay]

Early game it would be a challenge, but considering that I'm geared tf out and have tons of tames it isn't anymore

I have a 15 damage mutation lightning wyvern so-

[static fjord]

the higher the difficulty, the easier the game

[weary jay]

🧠

[static fjord]

no itd actually true

[quartz kraken]

someone make me finish taming this horse already

[lone osprey]

what lvl

[static fjord]

the gap from taming effectiveness is bigger the higher the max level is, and bosses dont get that much stronger with difficulty

[weary jay]

Yeah, stuff takes longer to tame but in exchange you get way better tames

[quartz kraken]

I've been sitting here at 77% paused

[weary jay]

Isn't it ~50% of their level at max

[static fjord]

like, if max is 30 then you'd be stuck with crappy level 45 tames for max level but if youre max was 300 then you'd have a 150 point difference.

[quartz kraken]

it's a 4 I'm just taming it because I have an ascendant saddle for it

[lone osprey]

the r equus in genesis 2 have such insanely fucking cool designs theyre my fav creature ive had a field day on gen 2 just breeding horses

[weary jay]

Speaking of which, isn't max level 150? I checked out the ice cave and saw 200+ bears

[lone osprey]

caves go higher

[static fjord]

some caves have overleveled dinos, not all though.

[weary jay]

Ez tame

[static fjord]

overleveled cave dinos are untameable though

[lone osprey]

like the ice cave has like 320 or 220 purlovias and shit

[weary jay]

Even if you lure them out of the cave?

[lone osprey]

yeah

[weary jay]

Pain

[lone osprey]

u can enable tamable cave creatures i think? i forgot

[static fjord]

there was a bug that allowed overleveled wolfs on ext to be tamed, was so cool.

no but you can enable cave fliers

[lone osprey]

i like how in the cave theyre called polar bears and yetis compared to their actual names

why tf is there anglers in the cave anyways

[weary jay]

"Dire (polar) bear"

[lone osprey]

they just sit there doing nothing

[static fjord]

theres tameable polar bears though.

[lone osprey]

what

[weary jay]

Also desert loot crates op

[static fjord]

on val you can tame polar bears, i think rag too

[weary jay]

All you gotta deal with is vultures and invertebrates

Speaking of those crates

[static fjord]

not the overleveled variant, theyre just untrasferabble white bears.

[lone osprey]

wait thats still kinda cool

[weary jay]

tfw you get an ascendant saddle

but it's for megaloceros

[lone osprey]

i love those stupid deer so much

[static fjord]

i spent what felt like decades trying to get a good shotgun for manticore on my scorched challenge.

[weary jay]

I want to tame a female just for the novelty of having a shittier equus

[weary jay]

Wait, they don't even let you transfer them? Why???

[quartz kraken]

1 Maybe 2 feeds Left😍

[lone osprey]

why does wildcard do anything lol

[weary jay]

What's the logic behind that when I can yoink reapers or aberrant animals

[static fjord]

because the other maps dont have the files for a polar bear so there'd be like no model.

[lone osprey]

dont question it

ohhh nvm ig

[static fjord]

so they just disabled itl

[weary jay]

I thought the reason the game was huge was specifically because you had the files for DLC stuff even if you didn't buy/claim it

[lone osprey]

who decided to make vultures do such an absurd amount of dmg bruh

[weary jay]

So a guy who didn't download rag could spawn in griffins

[static fjord]

the base game has everything from all the dlcs except for the map, really the only thing youre installing is a nee map.

[lone osprey]

its funny vultures are insanely powerful

[weary jay]

Why would a polar bear not work on another map if the files are already there

[quartz kraken]

FINALLY yes

[lone osprey]

for some readon most dlc dino spawns never work for me

[static fjord]

because there are no files for a polar bear.

[weary jay]

I unironically watched a pack of vultures take on a herd of 5 morellatops and smoke them

[lone osprey]

i have genesis 1/2 and cant spawn in any of the creatures even on their own maps

[quartz kraken]

alrighty anyone have a name for the horse I'd name it spirit but not right colors😂

[lone osprey]

i use a group of vultures to take out deathworms

its insane how fast they kill em

i love vultures tbh

[weary jay]

Oh, right. I heard you have to enable pvp to kill unclaimed dinos, but that can be annoying since they freak out and run away

I can't even harvest them if I do /kill on pve

[lament frigate]

I’m new to ark and I joined a server I’m trying to make gas and I have the materials but nothing is happening

[weary jay]

Is there any other way to get around it

[weary jay]

It takes a long ass time

Actually it should take like 40 seconds iirc

[lament frigate]

So it’s the server on why it takes long ?

[long flicker]

you have 6 hide and 5 oil, and the forge is running?

[lone osprey]

gasoline? refining it takes a while

[long flicker]

*5 hide and 6 oil

[ocean hemlock]

It always surprises me when a game that i never saw using kill-plains suddenly busts one out

[lament frigate]

I have like. 1,000 on both

[lone osprey]

forge gotta be runnin on wood or sparkpowder with enough hide and oil

[lament frigate]

And it’s running on wood

The oil also says not grind able

[weary jay]

Weird

[rich mango]

how do i make gasoline

help please

[fluid brook]

Oil and hide in forge

[rich mango]

where do i get oil

[fluid brook]

With trilobites or underwater

[rich mango]

how do i get it .... what tool do i use/ does it matter what tool i use?

[fluid brook]

No, but pickaxe is better for oil I think

[rich mango]

you think or yk?

ive been trying for 2.5 hours now and countimg 😦

[fluid brook]

Idk, try it dude, or go check on wiki

[rich mango]

thanks bro

friends?

ok

[quartz kraken]

no names for the horse? ok

[rich mango]

what horse jit?

[quartz kraken]

the Equis I tamed

ascendant saddle on him

[ocean hemlock]

So how exactly does uploading/downloading a survivor work?
Is it only for letting me keep stats or can I send some amount of equipment along with me?

K, seems to be stats only
Offloaded all my gear and am moving over to Extinction to give that another look

[silent matrix]

You can take items and dinos with you

[outer ginkgo]

I'd prefer pvp but I dont mind

[eternal oasis]

I got like 20k oil

[eternal oasis]

Specify pvp or pve

[vapid bison]

Is there a release window for fjordur yet?

[snow rover]

what happens if i bring a survivor to a server that i already have another survivor on?

[vapid bison]

Old survivor gets deleted if you chose to respawn with transfered survivor i think

[eternal oasis]

Yea

[outer ginkgo]

Id prefer pop but idm

Pvp

[eternal oasis]

And if u transfer and crash mid transfer DO NOT GO BACK TO THE SERVER U COME FROM GO TO THE ONE YOUR GOUNG TO

[vapid bison]

Yeah

[eternal oasis]

My message didn't send?

[outer ginkgo]

Hhhh tryna find my character. Always love doing that

Joining 400 servers is my favourite thing to do

[vapid bison]

Same, tbh

[eternal oasis]

Also if u have stuff on it MAKE SURR NONE HAS A TIMER WHEN U HIT TRAVEL SERVER

[outer ginkgo]

FINALLY

[eternal oasis]

This guy lost my 8j weight argy in a cryo bc it had a timer on it I was pissed

[outer ginkgo]

After four hours

I GOT IT..

nvm 😭
