Lol
Since you know.. you're not supposed to build in artifact caves!!
I've seen Wildcard tear down peoples bases in caves before
for building in Artifact caves
Lol, not in pvp
not on pvp you havent
dont know why they dont just remove building there
Did anyway 10/10 spot ez metal ez turret wall epic victory royale
Because if you don't have a cave your base won't last 30 minutes
Lol, must have been hidden
Thats how ark is now, building in caves is arguably the meta even with the 6x multiplier
my base lasted like 2 days till it got raided lol
Lmao probably wasn’t built right ?
my friend refused to build anywhere else but out in the open
I've had bases last for a long time in the open too, but only by staying hidden. If you build a big base open world, not a chance
ark 2 = 2x the bugs lol
they wont for pvp
If you can find a crevasse that isn't 6x, that's the meta, but those are few and far between lol
Cave building is dope th you mean no building in caves ?
If you go on Gportal or Nitrado you can turn off cave building lol, so it's clearly a feature
Would argue mine lasted 3 weeks but mine was made in a sneaky spot near the snow and covered with turrents so i cant really say much there
yes, primarily used for pve lol
It is a feature, and some unofficial nservers use it, but official doesnt
That sounds like a roughly base lol
Bunch of Rockwells in here, crazy people who just wanna kill other people
Lol
Ong
Thats pvp for ya
PVE>PVP
Sometimes
It's like Dark Souls lol, I just wanna enjoy the game and story.. but some jerk wants to come invade me
Thankfully you can turn online play off in Dark Souls
dont play pvp?
pve is more fun imo
but if i do play pve i just play singleplayer with a couple friends
pvpve is better, scheduled pvp and pve otherwise
I play singleplayer alone sense i dont got friends that play ark
Never found a server with that lol
ive seen a few with scheduled pvp, usually streamers i used to play with though
I miss the old days of ark pvp, when you could build stone bases and bob it on the beach
Aren’t “the old days” getting an argy and leveling only speed then picking people off and dropping them off cliffs
That was super fun, but pvp has devolved a bit more every time a new update comes out
Lol, I don't miss that
Argys and pteras
The good ole days.. when Tek wasn't a thing.. and a giga was the pinacle of taming
ehh giga was never hard to tame, people figured the trap out super quick and went in teams
guys uhhh
Hardest part about taming a giga is finding a high level
whats community crunch? never understood what it means
Weekly post about announcements and stuff, includes cool fanart and in game screenshots
@wispy frigate that was always the worse, we'd spend hours scouring
Its just ark news basically
oh cool
except no politics lol
Usually is released on friday at 3-5 pm pst
If you actually look at the ark lore.. all the blood thirsty tribes died off anyway lol, Rockwell saw to a couple of them himself lol
Well, ark lore doesn't happen in pvp lol
they didnt die off cause they were bloodthirsty lol
Ye but mei didn’t die cause she has admin
they were manipulated and sacrificed for Rockwells power lol
And rock drakes aren't passive tames lol
Neither can you bring a giga into a boss fight
But mei did it, she has admin
Also didn’t she ko that drake to tame it?
You can bring a giga into the first portion or tek cave
Overseer is a boss fight…
Tek cave isn’t…
You pod it, unpod inside the doorway, walk through and then take it back up once you reach the doorway to the second portal. Just pod it back near the first door and you’re good
Did it numerous times on official
You aren’t supposed to be able to do that, and its a cheese method anyways
Well you definitely can and still better than a line of Rexes falling into lava 🤷🏻♀️

can't you just use your tek jetpack and fly through the cave lol
Disabled
on offical maybe
Disabled on unofficial also lol
Someone was saying you can use an archa
I’m sure you could use a Sinomacrops
you can
Can use both archa and sino
But that means no dinos
archa is how we used to do it
But why couldn’t you use a tek suit? The little tek things drop 1 element each which would power the suit
And that element doesn’t come with you..
In the overseer arena itself you can use tek

The overseer and tek cave are the same thing, no? Tek cave goes into the overseer boss fight..
They aren't the same thing
Tek cave leads to the overseer arena, but the arena and the cave are separate monstors
Completely different
The preparation nfor both usually has to be different
something I've never figured out but how exactly can you repair fertilizer says can be repaired in compost bin
Um, what?
how do you fix shit?
fertilizer says it can be repaired in a compost bin
but how
The question wc has been asking themselves for years
lol, I have 47 Extraordinary kibble aand 24 boxes of chocolate, maybe I should go tame something
jesus christ, one tail swing in berry harvest mode and 8k rare flowers in redwood castle, like wtf, i cant even take these home
You can eat them and get tons of xp when everything comes to attack you
hehehe
also 6.2% till fully grownup magmasaur
Maybe I should go look for a quetzal, I'm also trying to do the achivment for taming everything on the island
Lol, I found that out when I took my theris into the megapithicus, I got like 10knrare flowers
Yeah I ran gamma, beta and alpha and each theri had like 7-8 stacks lol
It's nuts
Forget the swamp, just run monke!
If only the broodmother gave a similar amount of rare mushrooms
bosses drop mushrooms and flowers?
Snail with gacha
Do you have s+ or dino storage?
Get like 10+ snails on wander around a gacha. Need enough to make it where the gacha doesn’t eat more than it collects.
If you have s+ use an item collector
Ahh. That too. Or just go to gen2, run through a few alpha hunt missions and buy CP with hexagons lol
Breeding argys for like... 20 or so minutes and i got a decent male argy to replace my og male. Got 3.2k hp, low oxy, high melee, decent weight, 1.2k stam
when your out getting obsidian and spot an alpha raptor very close by but it doesn't notice you yet😂
Alphas are on drugs let them be lol
my carrier needed the XP tho
but barely got any atleast no levels wise from it
I need to make an elevator track at some point I can't keep jumping off this cliff Hoping i don't die😂
Good lord! Why did my first melee mutation gain 20 levels?!
ok I'm able to do a level on the magmasaur what do I put it into for a mobile forge?
I'll also gather with it
Melee or i think stamina
They aren't fast by any means
Melee and weight
just to get metal smelted from point A to point B rather then get get to base and wait I'd rather have em smelting on the way back
evenly or what out of day 10 levels how many for melee and how many weight would you recommend
everytime I'd search yt it's just hey go get egg that's how you tame nothing else not even what they eat 😂
I honestly play it by ear, I level what I feel needs to be leveled while I'm using the dino
fair enough I'll just focus a little melee and mainly weight
Does melee mutations cause a massive lvl jump with argys? Or is it just a 5 lvl jump because i got an argy that jumped 20 levels with just 1 melee mutation
while I wait for it to get levels imma snag another egg 😂
or just hunt stone alphas with it following🤔
You sure that's the only thing that happened? It didn't get the bigger stats from each parent?
i dont think so
The parents have 3.2k hp, 1.2k stam, 704.0 weight and originally 399.0 melee and the father was a lvl 201 and the mother was a lvl 214
so many cool color mutations I'm missing out on because the mutations are wrong
I have an argy who's melee is at 1325 and he only does 311 dmg so
Is the melee clamp thing on by default?
You probably have wasted stats. Mutations only cause a 2 level jump. If you went up by 20 that just means you didn't have perfect parent stats
so much stone for paste 😂 2k or almost 2k
Argies aren't really battle mounts anyway, more beasts of burden
Agree to disagree, argies are early - mid game all rounders
I use argies as a primary mount
WHY
I went from thylas to space dolphin when I used to play
I use maewings
Not on genesis and refuse to get on it until i beat the other arks
I have one for attacking and another I tried to make only carry weight😂
can thylas dismount ground mounts?
And i think i fixed the level issue sense i got a baby argy thats lvl 203 with a food stat of 5k and oxy of 510
Argies are really only good for the weight
here we go finally crafting magmasaur saddle
Thats why i use them, the weight isnt an issue and also i can do decent damage if i properly mutate one
You could say the same for a lystro too
I don’t care about dmg, I can just cryo a shadow out or something, I just care about mobility and speed
Understandable
Argies have some mobility, but their speed is terrible
If you are looking for an all around flier for the island use a ptera
Thats why i got flier speed leveling on i can level it after i breed up a good argy
if you have flyer leveling on might as well tame a quetz
Yeah pretty much
they have the highest speed to % ratio
They have the best weight too
wait does it not eat while on smelting mode? magmasaur
I REALLY wish there was a video explaining everything about them not just their attacks
although.. if you wanna see what speed really is tame a manta and ride it across the shore lol.. they wiz by on land for some reason
I just like using argies and i plan on taming one later
you can force feed them when they'resmelting
I know I can force it just I would've loved for it to be eating on its own😂
and I realized I messed up when I killed that raptor😂 I totally could've saved it for the magmasaur
That's why using a magma as a mobile forge doesn't work too well lol, your better off setting up an actual forge
Another reason why i like using argies is because of their healing ability making them a decent dino killer and alpha killer
they smelt slower then hell too lol
But anyways i fixed the wasted point issue and i got the line clean again
Magmas are really just trophy tames
well
they are good at fighting the dragon, since they don't take damage from his fire attack lol
Magmas farm metal way better than ankies
Nope, they are immune to fire
Yeah but unless you're right next to a forge or something. Lol
So the fire is the thing that does double damage?
Yup, the fire is the problem
It's not just dragon fire
found male Tek Rex finally😂
Have argies on follow
Blast a carnivore with magmasuar breath, same deal
I know the fire does 20% hp normaly but I thought it was just the dragons over all attacks that can do double damage
Nope, the fire is the only reason the dragon is hard
Take the fire away and it is easier than the broodmother
Sure, but those are easy to handle
Not sure why fire does extra damage to carnivores, doesn't matter what kind it is either lol, dragon.. flame thrower, flame artows
Unless the dragon has a swarm of dimorphs and they all just nuke you off the saddle. Had that happen once to a friend when i seen like id say 5-7 dimorphs charge at my friend and nuke him off the daeodon
Arrows even
Because carnivores are way too op
Theris are a bit better than allos
Theries are Jenks no matter where they are lol, even in Jurrasic world 3
Also have you ever noticed the plesiersuars dossier says it's docile
But they'll aggro on you from like miles away
OOF Rex got hit due to random microraptor and went to 48% effective
Wait really?
Yeah lol, the lockness monster dossier says it's docile lol
I must check it
well technically it hit my Dino's and one bit it
Demons....
Troodons too lol
don't forget pegos
At least they can't dismount you on a stego
Id say microraptors are worse
Pegos just still what's in your last inventory slot which in my case is usually a spyglass
But you can kill them and get it back, Ichthys are the real worst things, when they take something it gets destroyed instantly
unless there's nothing in it then anything in inventory
Icththys are worse
I um just found out if you have a magmasaur best turn off FF😂
Ichthys and micros are the worst dinos ever in ark
Jellyfish are right under micros for me
poor carrier argy got fireballed 😂
Jellies arent that bad, eels are worse
pegos thief birds and Cnidaria to 3😂
Eels can't dismount you lol
top 3
I lost like 3 sarcos in one sitting to jellies😂
this might also mean no more male Tek Rex btw I reverted
turned off FF as well
Yes but they can slow you down and show up when youre doing something important and you could possibly be running away from an alpha leed, tuso, or mosa and the eels show up and make things worse as well as jellies and plesis
how was I supposed to know my magmasaur could kill my other Dino's with a fireball
Why a alpha leed lol, they only attack you if you hit them first or are on a raft
lost not of progress oof but worth it
Look I think we can all agree the water is stupid now lol
Lost a bary to jellies and megs but thats my fault
can my magmasaur still kill my Dino's with FF off? if so I'll just turn it back off
I didn't even know it was possible for my Dino's to hurt each other I knew I could hurt them but not them hurt each other
theyre just invisible, putting another item in ark data or typing into the search bar fixes it for me.
Can't agree, the water is the best place on ark
magmasaurs cant hurt your own stuff with FF off
with FF on only the fire spit and the fire shotgun thing damages your tames and structures
I disagree, mostly because you're forced to use a basilo if you wanna avoid ocean bs
tuso.
Uh, tuso work just fine
good
I wanted to leave it on but after he killed my carry weight argy I quickly exited😂
Tusos can still be slowed and debyffed by eels
But mosas work, megalodon work, dolphins work
Space Dolphin also works
their hp pool is so large that eels mean nothing.
You have to pay attention to what's around you and don't be dumb
^
cnidarias straight up glow and go at 1 metre per hour, and theyre your biggest threat when not using basilos or tusos
I shall never do such a thing who do you think I am a good player😂
or is that labeled as an alert player
Or, you could stay out of the water, if humans were meant to go in the ocean we'd of been born with gils
but the gen 1 ocean.
Lol, you could make the same argument about fliers
you get free lazarus chowder and flippers, its begging you to enter.
Agree to disagree. The ocean is great, fliers are terrible
Uh we are born with gills
Like literally
I sadly gotta venture into the ocean on the island for that achievement to tame everything on the island
ok o2 tank incoming😂
truely.
The ocean isn't hard lol
"The embryos of humans and other nonaquatic vertebrates exhibit gill slits even though they never breathe through gills" it's a left over side affect from evolution
It just keeps you on your toes
it sure enough is then again I'm solo and therefore I don't wanna venture into it and die😂
I literally have a tamed tuso, not even bred and I can easily beat anything in the ocean
I usually play solo too
What type of saddle, and are you on official
Tusos are the apex ocean predator lol
That explains it lol
But official stats
prim saddle wild tamed good tusos can kill anything in the ocean thats not alpha.
and even if you do get screwed over, its not like youre as slow as a basilo.
Alpha tusos cause issues sometimes, but you can grab alpha mosas
So yeah, everything
what is a tuso
you can just imprint a good tuso and you can destroy everything no problem.
just get an army of em backing you up and live in the ocean😂
You just have to pick your fight and play to the tusos strengths
An army of tusos is actually terrible
Fun fact, the tuso dossier was on the ark website when the game first launched. They always planned on adding it In, it just took awhile
What's your max level?
And your on single player? Must not be the island
Not single player
A giant squid
hm
I am on my own server, with official settings
You can't go toe to toe with an alpha tusos, but you can stop for a minute, heal and go back to it
Was going to say single player seems to be glitched at 120 for the island even when editing the config
Wait I'm on the island.. meaning the only way to get black pearls are those dumb water scorpions or alpha tusos and mosas.. crap
i mean when youre on low hp you can swim to the surface to avoid the apex predators then start draining the blood of whatever is in sight for hp.
Lol, find a tuso, tame it, and just circle the island killing everything
Just travel to extinction grab a gacha male and female and breed for a black pearl one
Map travel is not allowed in the ultimate survivor challenge until you ascend
You can asc without needing pearls
I'm doing story mode, soni don't do that. But I am pulling in like 400 black pearl everytime I do a circuit of thebisland
eyo what.
No but I need bps to tame a test lol
You can, but that takes the joy out of it lol
i get like 100 black pearls tops exploring gen 2 ocean and it has more alphas and tusos.
Tame a tuso
Your comparing steam spawn rates with Xbox there's a little bit of a difference sadly
The sunken ship on rag is full of those fuckers
hi
you can compare gen 2 and island spawn rates for alphas, im pretty sure that "little bit of a difference" doesnt make steam island have more alphas
You start on the island and play and finish the story maps in order from the usland to get 2
Thebisland in general has more alphas
Genesis One and two it's debatable when they take place, do you just go by release date?
I run across alpha tusos morenoftennthan normalnones
No.. you go in the order the story takes place lol
*you're
and no, steam and xbox have almost exactly the same spawns, with some exceptions
Gen 2 is after gen1 in the lore
The maps have a cronilogical order
island > se > ab > ext > gen 1 > gen 2
some people skip se because it has no ascension though.
and rockwell just goes about fucking everything and everyone up
That's release date order
and also chronological order
That's also the order the story goes in lol
Is both orders
free maps are non canon, they did "exist" in the lore but they have no relation to the story
so when doing all the maps you can ignore free maps
They even explain it in the explorer notes
There is a huge time gap between extinction and gen 1 though
are you just looking at the order the maps are in when loading up in sp? because that one goes island > gen 1 > 2 > se > ab > ext
probably did that so people would notice the new map, gen 1 more easily
otherwise people might not realise that they have to scroll
it worked for me.
when gen 1 first released i was like "where is extinction???"
took me a while to find out to scroll down.
lmaoo
Since they exist in the lore I don't see any issue with going to those maps just... Put them in order of release date
they don't have any relation to the story
Because Rockwell or Helena never went to those arks
they just existed as their own thing
That defeats the purpose of a story run lol
so there's no reason to go there for a story run
for 100% completion I guess you could go there
And you as a character are vital to the story lol
eh, I find clusters to be more fun anyway
If I go fuck off on another map I can't finish the story
the free dlcs arent related to each other whatsoever though, theyre just some random arks. with the story ones theres an actual story.
You are Helena's competion you could say
You can leave the map after you finish the bosses
yeah that's my point
Finishing what she started
it's like going on a tour of USA and then fucking off to canada for no reason
Canada has a nice zoo
you can do it, but then you're on a tour of USA, not north america
beating all the free maps in order seems pretty boring.
Plus, if you go through all the story maps and get all the notes it increases your level cap by 10 lol
yeah only 2 have actually unique bosses
which don't even appear on your implant as far as I'm aware
You unlock some neat stuff and by the time you get to the free maps the bosses are tank and spank
I'm doing it to finish it all again before ark 2 comes out
tank and spank?
so you mean you're transferring in shit from other maps to the free maps?
For a story mode run you bring only one or 2 dinos
If any
I'd say bring nothing all the way till gen 1
then bring a few dinos from each map to gen 1
^
That's dumb just breeding those suckers are going to take you months, unless you have crazy rates
because doing it without transferring in gigas and reapers and shit would be hell
The ultimate survivor story run let's you bring one Dino from each map after you've beat it
dont see a point in challenging yourself by beating every boss when youre just gojng to transfer your most op dino between the maps
So one Dino from the island, then one from scorched, and so on
there's no rules set in stone, everyone jsut does their own thing
You need stuff for extinction tooz otherwise you'll be there awhile
Syntac brought 3 dinos and one shoulder pet from each map
I'm not doing the challenge at all
someone else might bring only 2 dinos, or maybe 4 dinos
okay but youre kind of forced to cheat in gen 1 if youre doing alpha cmc or exploit bugs.
ask in recruitment channel
I set a series of challenges for each map before I could bring anything
Eh I feel like ab would be the hardest map to get set up on off start
yeah alpha cmc you literally can't do solo
if you're bringing the same character, it'd be pretty easy
I find that a waste of time, how many months does it take you to even finish 1 map? Or better yet is your breeding increased
well yeah why would you do it on official rates
I play on 0.3 rates, I find official too fast
My breeding is 50x lol
"waste of time" yes thats why a lot of people dont do it, it takes ages.
mmmm you're using singleplayer settings aren't you
No
Uhmm no even months LOL, I built a base, tamed a few argies, a mammoth, deeded and any and started breeding reset in like four days
so you're telling me
you spend 12 real life days
raising one rex
For one I haven't played ark in over a year, another I use nitrado on official difficulty, reduced rates
12 real life days for one rex
yep, seems extraordinarily balanced
I haven't played ark in a year, but I use nitrado
I haven't played ark in a few months, got bored
That statement didn't make sense
honestly i applaud you if youve done alpha king titan, i couldnt even handle imprinting my gigas and i have some cranked breeding and egg hatching.
probably meant "used"
Yeah obviously I meant used
how much did you play in a day, dude
Your supposed to use the mega me for king titans lol
He said alpha KT
you said king titans so I assumed you meant all difficulties
I don't see that as an ultimate survivor thing if you are doing everything on like 50xs though, next thing you'll say is you use s+ nanny lol
I was relying to this
answer this
Replying even
yeah i know, but i meant that as in doing alpha kt would mean youve done gamma and beta as well.
yeah ik
gigas take around 4 hours with my rates
I dread raising one of those
You could tame the other titans and have them help you fight KT lol
well yeah, people already do that
some people have a life though, they want to enjoy the "fighting the bosses" part and challenge, not waking up on the 16th day to imprint your giga at 14% maturation
still good to have gigas for beta KT
one giga would take a month
idk how this guy was playing like that
Yeah, I like having the creatures and seeing the mutations, so I have fast breeding and maturation
beta kt destroyed me with a good mek and 2 titans even on sp.
I do t have everything at x50 lol, all my sp stats are at 1x except breeding, and baby maturation
my breeding interval is 2 minutes, imprint interval is around 12-14 minutes, maturation is 60x, taming is 2.5x and xp is 2x
Rest are all default
Oh and taming, my taming is at X2
I mean the challenge in fighting most bosses is getting the dinos to the point to fight them, most of the fights are not that hard
Breeding and maturation at 50x, harvest at 3x, and that's like it
yeah, and with 50x maturation it'd take you a few days, up to a week of breeding a lot to get your dinos ready
seems like a proper amount of time to spend without no lifing
Yes.. but I have a job, I don't have 12 days to raise a Rex baby
assuming you spend a good few hours a day just breeding
Yeah but when you already have done them all, it doesn't make sense taking 4 years to get through the lm again
I got ignored :(
It takes longer actually
oh right I've been breeding for colours mainly so far
I Got a nice teal and red otter
but haven't done many stat mutations yet
I ignore stats mostly, I do it for the colors
I've been cranking out 1500 Theri eggs a day, and have been going for 2 weeks
I'll do it for the stats at some point, I wanna mutate allos and rexes and shit, but I also like mutating for colours
You're going to die in the dragon and Tek cave lol
because who doesn't want to be riding a neon pink raptor wearing sky blue armour while shooting with their yellow gun at a rex
I pay attention to the stats on things that can actually do something but for things like maes and sinos I do colors
Yeah we play very differently lol but as long as it's all fun
got ignored :(
Fair
I dont remember the last time I did a boss
I didn't not play ark when I played ark, I live alone, get home from work and played ark till I went to bed
I did a boss earlier today lol
didn't not play ark when you played ark
wat
so basically you played like 3-5 hours a day
I'm farming the gamma megapithicus, because you only need 3 artifacts and boom 40 ele
how the fuck did you get anything done like that
3-5 hours a day is nothing lol
my dreams of a neon pink tek raptor shall soon be a reality
I just need to get lucky with an event
No I got about 3 hours of sleep a night, soi played ark ark about 13 hours a day
that changes things
That's with a full time job
how are you not dead from sleep deprivation
that feels like a very non good idea
Should I create new survivor for Fjordur or transfer survivor with trash stats+tek engrams?
It happens
I'm kind of the same
What's your goal on fjordur?
If I was still playing when a new map came out I still started over, to experience the entire map
If you go with Tek already learned and at a decent level, the map will be too easy
While I don't play at reduced rates, I still like the early game grind lol
The whole fun of ark is running around getting killed by dinos
the fun for me is to kill dinos with a big fuck off gun
If you go in high level that kills that whole side of ark
I feel, should have mentioned that Im doing pvp. Dont know if it will be harder starting with a new survivor.
i would just create a new character
or a big fuck off dino
whichever I get my hands on
Oohh, pvp
I just don't like spending 20 - 60 minutes building a thatch base and already can make stone or metal, I like to live in each age for awhile
Definitely go in high level withntekgrams
Og ark player here
I missed 2 months but yeah
At least 20 I'd need to check my time on PlayStation as well
yeah same on pc i have like 150 but i played on ps4 for like 2yrs
Fjordur has all the op stuff from basically every map except managarmr, but without a note run, so it's definitely a good idea to go in with a good character for pvp
20k?
Yeah
Still 2k is alot for only that long.. ark can be addicting
true
When I am not playing, I am doing homework or watching ark videos lol
If I had spent all the time watching ark videos playing I would have closer to 3k
Maybe more
Or playing minecraft, for me
But, long commutes lol
I can't stand Minecraft lol
D:
😦
I really wanna play minecraft but I Don't own it yet
its not that bad
I used to play cracked till last year when I decided that I'd only play it when I properly buy it
and I've just been waiting since then
I mean no, but theres a limited number of things you can do without dedicating your life tonit
hmm sounds like ark
I’d give it a 8.5/10 compared to arks 9.3/10
I give ark a 7, minecraft a 9
ark is way better that minecraft
there's something in this world called "personal preference"
Only by like 0.8
Huh? Teach me
Me and my spouse did alot of Minecraft
basically, it's the opposite of "fuck you and all your opinions, I wanna argue about dumb shit online"
Lol I give ark a 8, Minecraft an only play with friends lol
i had like a 3yr minecraft world, got bored tho
ark is a great game but the shitty optimisation and bugs make it a 7 for me
I've been playing mc for 4 or 5 years but I'm yet to actually have a proper long survival world
What if neither game had bugs or optimisation
my old pc ran minecraft at 7 fps tho, which wasn't that great
What would you rate them
then I'd place them equally, 8.5-9
Ark without bugs would be a 9
yeah pretty much
2 lil baby rexes
Depends how I feel currently ark and Minecraft are 1s but I haven't been in the gaming mood for awhile
now that I have an actually good pc, I really wanna see how well minecraft will run
Mainly because there is Soo much missing that could makenit better
Is there a problem with finding servers?👀 Can’t seem to find any servers/ keeps on saying no sessions found
my current mood has minecraft at an 11 and ark at a 6
I'm not feeling like ark and I really wanna play minecraft but I Don't own minecraft which is ultra annoying
Only thing in my mind is my pfp, I have about 3 more weeks till I can pick it up
Just get it on bedrock until you can get Java
I can't get it on either
and I don't like bedrock
isnt bedrock paid as well.
yeah it is
Oh yeah
bedrock is good but I'm more comfortable with java mechanics
just get minecraft edecuatiin ediiton
Fair
especially redstone, I've spent 2 years with java redstone
on cracked
I'd play warframe but I'm not feeling the mood for it either
I usually play warzone when I am not in the mood
I'm currently laying on my bed which is also called a couch with the only light on a muted TV as I slowly drift to sleep
I'm currently thinking about lore for my D&D campaign but my mind is blank
you gave me the story for the adventure, but I still need lore
the lore is about the merchant.
no, that's the story
no
the next couple campaigns will probably revolve around the merchant tho
💪
still need lore
hey
Hey
What map?
isilad
Go along from volcano following all the mountains a few times every time you get on. Kill all the Gigas you see, until you find a decent one
gigas are super rare on the island, good luck
K
Just got a pump shotgun bp
is genesis worth it? its 20 bucks seems a bit expensive
Finally finished Lagerration lately. The bossfight really stood to its mapname again. Which made it pretty hard to hit those tentacles of him. Needed a few attempts to do it though.
You mean Rockwell?
Yeah Lagwell xD
The fight isnt laggy normally
Yeah its my comp for sure.
Why do you make yourself suffer through that
You need a generator
Tek Gen i guess?
No normal
Oh okay sorry
A pink one?
Oh you sure it aint burnin
lemme get to you and ill fix that
Thanks. I just love the design of the Shiny Umbreon #shinyumbreonfornormalumbreon
Best boss dinos?
Anyone else getting controller drift on ark on the ps5
This update has started causing it any fixes?
My other games are fine
Rich ps5 owner
XD
Rexes a yuttyranus and daedon.
Any others?
daedon is good, but that thing cant fight for crap
usually in boss fights they are the first to die
I use them only for healing in between tbh. 2-3 of them at the obelisks and theyll do their thing
Any others other than rexs
idk if any of you have heard about my convo earlier, but i fought a titanosaur with rexes and raptors, and i didnt even kill the titan but managed to run away with 7 raptors remaining
lol
Can confirm. I was asked to ride one in a boss battle once.
depends on which boss to use. Idk for any of the non-canon map bosses but mostly Rexes are best. For Broodmother i rather use Megatheriums and Dragon Theris
but im a SP so idk what people do on Servers to go on bosses.
alpha dragon is scary
u know, i might be evil for this, but i find it entertaining and amusing when ppl wipe bases and kill all tames
but personally for me, i wouldnt do that
Yeah Alpha Dragon is last for me to do bc he sucks with his abilities
and half the time ur dinos run into the lava when chasing the dragon
are the bosses always level 1?
Actually thats never a problem. Just keep them passive and let them follow you
if hes flying that is
i also tried defending a purple supply drop in extinction
ive seen ppl go all out and and still fail against them cuz theres so many strong corrupted dinos
what you used for that?
its funny
i used 1 raptor
the drop was glitched and was spawning insanely low levels
i was seeing things like enraged tek rexes and whatn ot
Do rare sightings dinos respawn after moving? I lost an elemental somehow. Was kiting it toward a trap, took a dinner break, and it wasn't there when I came back. Hadn't been on the server for very long.
ive realized extinction is also glitched, in the sunken forest i keep having taming dinos despawning after leaving the area
Despawn, I meant
Autocorrect, grr
Hmm, I've built down there but don't recall leaving taming dinos there unattended
Anyone?
is there a anyway to go cave in a undedicated server without my friend?
Im done with this game, grinded 6 hours for island explorer notes and it wont give me the trophy
Green
Yeah
Check out Mighty Jahlak on YT there's a tutorial
But have you tamed the Dino's?
Yes
Are some greyed out on the menu?
Lemme check hold on
Np
if you want to cheat, you can use giveallexplorernotes but warning that also gives you all notes from every map, not just the current one youre on
yeah ive been tryna tame a trike and everytime it getting deleted when i died
Was the trike knocked out?
I checked, everything is fine they're all tamed and nothing grayed out
Hmmm
yeah it was Fitz
Try wivens solution
i also have an argent named Escapee because he was fighting a bird when i died, i came back and he was gone. he was gone for quite a long time too
What ?
Look up
i just decided one day to fly around sunken forest spamming J and eventually found him
There's a give all notes command
I did try it
Got SS of the dossier menu?
Im on ps4
Go watch the video on my channel for master zoologist and read the comments see if anything helps 😶😶
Alright thanks
is there any way to make item stacking higher without a mod
like is there some setting
There is a setting, but it doesn't change the weight
yeah i dont wanna change the weight
umm
just the amount items can stack
anyone wanna play with me in ark
What platform
how do u make ark 2 release earlier?
sleep
computer
lol
Need 7 subs for 1k on YT 🐅 can we do it!!
you make cat videos?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 if its a shadowmane, saber or tyla that would be acceptable
Pray
Guys, how do I kill gigas? I need three of their hearts
Get them to agro to you, lead them to the ocean and let them drown
just kill the gigas
@regal yarrow alright, mate!
I just cleared the snow caves thrice, btw!
Thank you again. I took my super Therizinos and a daeodon and a rocket launcher. Was super easy.
Nice
@umbral wave you have another method?
You can trap them with metal billboards and bear traps and just shotgun them
Throw a giga out and eat it 🤣🤣🤣
Is it doable with my bosses army?
You might be able to, but the giga bleed is killer
the best way to kill a giga would be to pick it up with a pteranodon and then throw a dodo at it, and then the dodo will one shot it
or lightning wyvern if you have one
If you have a griffin that could work too
u guys know how the max stats dinos can have is 254 right? is there a way to change it?
@umbral wave huh? How am I gonna throw a dodo at it after picking it up? Wouldn't it make more sense if I just throw the dodo at it?
🤣🤣🤣
255 actually, but I am pretty sure that is due to the actual code itself
dodo is stronger than giga
Hmm, I don't have any of those. I'll just drown it
but raq thats not entirely true, since theres difficulty mods that allow levels past 1779
Mods make changes to the integer type used in leveling
No 254 is max due to how bits for saving it work can’t bypass it. Theoretically you can get 255 but then the game bugs and you can’t level up the Dino anymore so stay with 254/253 max points
i wonder, if i put a high difficulty mod as a lower type of mod so it doesnt spawn high levels, would that still work?
as the first mod on ur list is the one that takes priority
cuz currently im playing a difficulty mod that spawns dinos at a maximum of 1628. but i can get level 300 on my character, and 500 dino levels
how much is the recomended amount of armor on a rex saddle is recomended for alpha rag bosses?
we got a 67 armor bp right now
but we dont know if its good
its annoying how my dinos get tamed at above level 2k, but then brought down to 1779
255, it starts at 0 and counts 2^8 or 256 increments. The bug happens when you pass 255
wish i could remove the cap
Crafting skill it and you'll probably be good if you have good rexes
Raq idk if you heard yet, but were u here when i was talking about my fight with an elemental titanosaur from pugnacia?
Uh, never played pugnacia
ic
essentially pugnacia has like 12 random bosses that spawn after placing an item down
how much crafting skill do i need?
Mind wipe and put everything in
good idea
i ended up fighting the titan but lost almost every dino and barely hurt it
You might get lucky and end up with 90 armor saddles
How do i transfer resources to a new map on a dedicated server
In the obelisk if it is enabled
It is enabled but they dont show up
thanks
u know something funny Raq, i compared a level 15000 regular raptor to a 1779 pugnacia raptor, and guess what was stronger
No problem
idk why regular dinos dont do much dmg, perhaps the stats are too high and bug out?
Yea I’m aware of the mechanics just thought stating the mechanics wouldn’t make much difference for the ppl here so I skpipped it, thanks 🙂
Btw that’s what i meant with „theoretical limit of 255“, if you get 255 instead of 254/253 the Game will bug already when leveling the Dino up. 256 couldn’t be stored byte wise so there’s the second, real boarder
(https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Mutations that’s where they also explain the 254 limit, pretty much at the end of the site somewhere)
theres rlly no point for me hunting mutations since the stats wont increase at all
The 254 is only to let you continue leveling it, I'll have to do some tests to verify that. I have never gotten close to the limit
There is the broodmother cave, it's like the swamp cave on the island
located in redwoods?
It was actually tested if u scroll down to the „breed super Dino section“ they explain how they had an admin spawn a Dino with 255 mutations / points and the game bugged it out when leveling it, it’s the tenth point
if u level something past 255 and then says it goes back down to 0 upgrades does that mean upgrading anymore will just be deleted upon quiting the game?
quitting*
its funny, ive been breeding raptors for a while, and for some reason this level 1534 has an 18 attack stat
im like tf boi
255 is just the max amount of (wild) points a stat can have (before leveling up) Getting this higher is physically impossible as to how the storage of that information in bytes work.
There wouldn’t be a deletion as u cannot get them higher with points in that stat, there were deleting dinos a while ago with leveling them over the cap of 450/500 but that was fixed and is impossible too now to do
That's only one data point, and in my experience the ark wikis information is tenuous at best
also has anyone here ever played pugnacia through before?
My spino died to 2 alpha karkinos in the SAME river
Hm they tested it and im yet to see a Dino on official that has 255 pts, literally all lines I have are stopped at 254 or 253, same with all those lines u can trade for on the discord’s so I believe it holds some water 🙂
they have an alpha form? ive never seen one
then again the mods i play kinda remove alphas maybe thats why
They do
i realized pugnacis has nerfed raptors tho, before when i had imprinted babies at max attack in a +8 pack bonus were doing like 2.3million per hit when riding the alpha pack one, but now apparently a new update removed the alpha pack bonus from the +8 so now my guys are only doing 630k at max attack imprint
still a lot of dmg, but nerfed heavily
but of course X Dinos are stronger than normal ones
my save data disappeared on my solo ragnarok is there anyway to get it back?
any1 reccomend an xbox win 10 unofficla to play on?
anyone know if raptor pounces were added back?
what's the maximum level for wild basilisk?
You actually made me want it too lmao, I’m used to (from my chemistry background) to do things preferably on my own anyways. I got about 100 adult boss rexes with 254 pts in dmg, so I’m going to setup a mutation / breeding rig over the next weeks maybe and try getting one to 255 and then get some offsprings for different testings on an official server 😃✌️
150
For Alpha Monkey should I get daedons or should I be good with just Yutis and Rex’s. Also how many Rex should I have?
Only Abberent Raptors pounce
corrupted ones and mission raptors do too
what dino should i tame if i wanna go into the water for silica pearls and to farm trilobites
like semi deep
Baryonx imo
Doesnt matter in water
anglers can harvest it by chomping on the preals . they get a lot
You're faster without dino
If you play gen 2 its better to get a dino
Eurypterid are demons.
That fixed it, thanks
ive been going a few hours now just grinding an X-Raptor spawn point
so far no luck at all
Is rag 45 smalls on ps4 down ? I cant find it and my character is still there
How'd you increase stats for a specific dino in ini files
“Low” 
Wtf you need to own genesis to get perfect explorer achievement, thats the most bullshit thing i've ever seen
Does someone know how to spawn in fungal wood? 😊 i have a ragnarok server and im in need of fungal, but i just cant seem to spawn it in. Does someone have an idea as to why it doesnt work?🤔
Do you? I thought achievements only included old lore maps (ie island only)
Yeah i saw that you needed those
cheat gfi FungalWood 1 0 0 try this 🙂
You don’t need to play genesis or any other map besides the island for the achievements
You do, however, need to have the hlna skin iirc
Initial 1 can be changed to higher numbers like max of a stack size too
it doesnt work 😟
Iirc it wasnt that, something like wood_aberration
Idk can’t look at the wiki rn
Are you on SP pc ?
That’s wiki copy paste 😃😝
Ah lol
what is SP? Yes, im on pc
no, i have my own server
Gotta get into admin mode first then or u can’t use any spawn commands basically if it’s dedi
i know i can use gfi codes since i tried spawning in other stuff, its just the fungal wood that doesnt work
cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_FungalWood.PrimalItemResource_FungalWood'" 1 0 0
Try this mayybe it’s the full spawn code with its BP name sometimes (at least I heard can’t confirm it personally) shorter codes MIGHT cause issues
it worked 🥰 thank youu
Yea same it’s the most reliable afaik never run into issues before
Nice 😊!
Guys , so I'm leaving the island soon and was planning to go to SE next, but my friend just told me that SE doesn't have any end boss and there's no ascension when killing the boss(Manticore) . So, I thought of skipping it and play ragnarok instead and then move to aberration. I've played a little bit in scorched earth and didn't like it much tbh. What do you guys think? Will I miss something if I skip SE?
What's y'all's worst giga experience?
@silent matrix I'm new but this is what happened to me three days ago. I used the four metal gates method to trap him and tame him. When I trapped him, I started shooting darts at him and them some raptors attacked me so I killed them and changed position. I went to the other side and got off my mount and started tranqing him, and then suddenly he got out of the trap and killed me in one bite and killed my argy. It turned out I left a gap between the two gates in that side and when He turned around he screwed me up
Holy-
Do whatever you want, no need to stay on a map that isn’t fun for you
@wispy frigate so, there's nothing special there, right? If so, thank you so much!
Only scorched exclusive creature is the phoenix
Witch is a pain to find and tame
Primary cause it can ONLY be found In a heat wave,after the heat wave is over you need to find the ashes,the ashes mark where is respawns, you also need to do a crap ton of fire damage to tame it
How do I get binoculars?
Chomp chomp
Ans where do I find reaper queens on gen 2
Rockwell’s innards where the heart is
Gen1 loot crates (not sure if Gen2 also gives them)
Crates? U buy them with points in hlna shop
No the reapers
Are you guys seeing untextured supply drops too?
Yes
Alright nice
theyre everywhere, worry about getting the impregnation process complete
Ok
you got a skiff?
It’s super small chamber if there aren’t any wipe all dinos in the “cave” and return later
No I don't
good luck unless youre using the acid pool method then.
Of course 923 goes down yet again....
Hey Wildcard, theres something wrong with 923.. We need help.. :c
Guys, What happens to my stuff when I ascend from tek cave?
TIL I can place map markers on my portable map
Also manas are friggin breathtaking to see in action
Element gets deleted, character and items go to upload, tames go to entrance of cave
Thought I was seeing a lightning wyvern at first but it was dodging and phasing mid-air which was nuts
now I know what manas are about
Also snow owls are wild lookin. I thought I had discovered a mutated argy at first
then it turned around and oh
I’m really late to the party on so many dinos but they’re fantastic to encounter first-time
can stryder farm crystal shards on crystal isles? from crystal nodes?
or using mining dril?
Dew it
so I can't view an item's recipe in the crafting menu
I'm on console
is there any was to toggle it?
why reaper kings got that mating option ?
yes, there should be a button that looks like a comment button under crafting and it should be white
oh ok, thanks
no problem, always happy to lend a helping hand
if a chemistry bench requires 8 flint and 4 stone for sharck power. for maximum amount of crating effecincy would I have to fill the chemistry bench with 75% flint and 25% stone?
huh aight
if anyone has the answer i would love it
66% flint 33% stone 🙂
got the answer in general
i am testing that out now actually
rag
but if you are looking for high levels than the center
val if you want abberation creatures
ci if you want crystal wyverns but they will be low levels
What is the main use of iguanodon
to convert berries into seeds and be imune to aberation mushroom spores
viking bay
viking bay has quick access to argys
and rexes are also not to far
I have few questions coz I m new
Bought game on steam a week ago
In which should I put lvls
Bronto
Trike
Parasaur
Stego
Iguanodon
Theri
Thanks in advance
100% theri
ya
I mean I have 10-15 lvls each
So on what dino should I put lvl
Like health stamina oxygen speed etc etc
theri put weight, stamina, and melee, and if you hold e on them you can level up another set of levels that let you collect more of certain items
nah dont forget health
health is better than melee bruh
@worthy pagoda
and speed aint important even
only put hp melee and stamina if your dino got low stamina 800+ is fine
weight is only for specific dinos
like dinos you use to farm materials
are mutations flat out necessary if i want to beat alpha overseer on non boosted stats?
meat barely have weight so don’t worry abt it
yes
they are NECCASRRY
how many?
when will geforce ark back on smh
cuz i will have perfect crafted shotguns and saddle
i think you can bring a giga and more than 30+ dinos
nah your shotgun is like a toy shotgun to it
and 50 rexes instead of the 20 rexes i tried last time
it got a forcefield around it
i've fought it before, i know how the fight goes
alr but you need
80k and maybe more health on your rexs and 600+ melee on 20 rexs and armored saddles like 100+ armor
is it on official?
can i carry a mammoth with my argy?
wht platform u on?
well the saddles are gonna have 352.7 percent
boi wth you tryna carry a big ol mammoth with a bird
whts ur platform
xbox
thats more than gooddd
Pretty sure wyverns can carry mammoths
not on xbox but you can also get poly with that
idk i figured i'd ask
you can invite ppl to the boss fight if they pay you polymer 10k maybe even
just make sure its 4ppl more than that it will laggg
and im taming max tek rexes instead of normal rexes
tek rexs are better always
what would be the best way to carry a mammoth if i don't have one?
infact tek dinos are better and got more lvls +
In a PokeBall cryopod
right i keep forgetting those exist
Does a morellatops give prime?
i know, but i'm not on official, i'm on a nitrado server with my friend
mkay thank you
thanks
Sorry but no it doesn't
Cheers buddy
I m on beginner pve official
I have one more question
Max lvl on my server is 44
So it will stay like this or will increase?
Probably will increase but if not change servers because even the default max level is 150
brobrobro i just read on the ark wiki velonsuars don't deal reduced dmg to rock/rubble golem
please test thissssssss
i cant play ark rn SOB
does levelling damage on an astrodelphis increase the damage the starwing saddle does?
anyone know if the cave of the hunter, you can bring and ride a megatherium or a theri? ive never done a cave and am nervous
Use a cryopod
