yeah I was more so referring to OP tames rather than average times
anyway,
that's not the point
for prime?
i mean if you were looking at say the bog, you could easily get enough slots of meat for your trough before you get clogged with prime.
*and hide too
thanks the health and melee are reasonable now
i have so much hide i sometimes just drop it because im too lazy to store it outside of my smithy.
What you guy talking about
no clue i forgot the original point
same
I have a lot of hide but I'm sure that I'll lose all of it in 0.01 seconds when I need saddles
im so lazy for even the slightest tasks that require repetition, youve seen what i did with bloodpacks
Hide, how i farm hide before i wonder
Shjt not farming for so long now forget how to farm

now?
you kill stuff
Doesn't move when low hp, therefore, immune to you 
tbh same
oh shit you're right
noooo now I can't kill doeds
though
it still does breath
@grave needle sorry for the mention, mate. But I just tamed a high level Crab with absolute ease! Check nooblets video. With %100 efficiency. The trap is super super easy to make and cheap. Wanted to let you know if you ever want to tame a crab again in the future. It took 15 boulders
another easy method is using a net gun
nooblets is amazing you just watched the single wrong video he has ever posted.
exactly
to be fair thats also (mainly) why i dislike captainfatdog
karkinos taming is easy until the second you call it easy, then the karkinos will start doing whatever it can to fuck up your tame
D:
which one did you watch
dont remember, its been a long time
all i remember is the dino escape though it might have been a mistake on my end and i never realized
is there a setting that makes wyverns not land when u dismount? lol
whistle them, they'll stop landing
if you whistle follow a wyvern when on its back it'll think its following you so it wont move in the air
it works thank u!!
and moves, though? 👀
shit, you're right
I (or at least the doeds) have carefully analysed your strategy to formulate a masterful plan of survival, see!
now?
Now, what?
Guys do you think i can tame spino that has 19k torpor with 80 special arrows that give cca 600 torpor?
wait
i dont have 80 arrows i have 160
dammit doedics
you win this time
Are Karkinos breedable now?
no
🥲
you dont really need them to be breedable, theyre pretty amazing as is.
theyre extremely good for transport early game on aberration if that wasnt one of the points.

@sick quiver if you get yourself a high level moschop, pump all levels into melee and level up his organic poly gathering skills ypu can get thousands of polymer real quick from them.
They give the highest organic polymer in the game
they mean as in kill karkinos for organic polymer
Anyone here knows muchabout building ?
Hello everyone what does “cross-play” on steam unofficial server mean exactly? Just transfer between maps or
it means epic games players can join the server as well
Like Xbox? Or just windows version
xbox and windows cant join steam afaik
Only Steam and Epic Games versions.
Oh okay ty
I know. thats why i listed poly as one of its uses
Yes, I know. I meant that moschops are the best poly harvesters and crabs give the most poly in the game.
Its not even worth the attempt
Yes, I've seen a video on YouTube. A moschop with high melee is super good.
Moschops can get bonus points into Organic Polymer harvesting and their Melee Damage scales with it.
They can harvest a whole Karkinos in a single right click and chainsaw ur gonna be a sitting duck
what do you mean sitting duck it takes 10 seconds
it would take longer unpodding and repodding a moschops.
I use moschops everywhere. Best gatherers imo. I have one for each resource. Mushrooms, rare flowers leech blood, sap, and polymer.
can't fight tho
@long flicker if you are mounting it, and it's a breeded one you can kill a wild rex. I have a pretty good breed.
357 poping
theyre so inconvenient though, imagine being in the bog about to be slaughtered by 15 different creature and then you just casually throw out a moschops, seems easier to just use a chainsaw.
they're useful in certain situations
I literally get thousands of rare mushrooms and thousands of rare flowers in a matter of minutes.
i mean if i was in my base i'd use one.
I literally do not care about rare mushrooms and rare flowers
I haven't tested this on official but cuz my rates are ×2. I'll try them today on official
you can use a megachelon to passively produce that stuff
good berry gatherer in a swamp and stego on ab, I don't ever need them again
Chainsaw is going to do worse than a moschops
@long flicker sap, leech blood, thousands and thousands of fiber, and moat importantly poly
but is a chainsaw that much more inefficient if youre going through a river killing karkinos and need to wait out cryo timer everytime to make sure your moschops doesnt die.
sap - gachas
leech blood - swamp cave
fiber - what isn't good at getting fiber
poly - really, crabs are everywhere
I'd rather kill them quicker rather than harvest them quicker and get grabbed and killed by one
Cryo Timer? lolwhat,
what what
to be fair who even needs leech blood and sap in bulk.
A Karkinos is going to grab you and slam you to the ground and break your head before u can even retaliate with a chain saw
@long flicker well, yeah. But all of them aren't as efficient as a dedicated moschop
im going to be on a dino?
Harvest, not,kill
Who tf uses a chainsaw as a melee weapon
his point is that he can take it out and immediately put it back, he's not going to KILL it with a chainsaw
do you really need 50 billion trillion leech blood
leech blood is used for nothing but antidote
tbf you can substitue it for ammonite bile which is literally everywhere in gen 1
moschops are good but they aren't the "best of the best"
@long flicker just kill it and throw a moschop at it. He'll automatically eat it. And he's gonna give u three times more resources.
50 billion of it
did you not read what wivern said
my point is if im constantly throwing out my moschops, im going to need to wait out cryo timer which would make it less efficient poly gatherer over an x amount of time, ive yet to claim that theyre definitely worse or on par with chainsaws per corpse
Suddenly, the entire save building items disappeared, only lvl was left
what should I do?
What are u implying with this cryo timer, u talking about cryo sickness or to just move it somewhere else?
pick it back up to go to the next dino to kill
Sorry to interrupt, however, what would be anybody's recommendations fro running The Hunted mod please?
keeping a moschops out on ab (or any karkinos infested place) is a pretty bad idea
@static fjord I honestly juat ride mine and whistle my dinos to kill a crab. Mantis I kill them with ease using my super moschop. I juat like them tbh honest. They're xool
I would just ride the moschops there, and keep an extra dino out
Personal rule I keep when farming in hostile areas is to bring a guard dino regardless
do you bring a lance too, would be pretty cool if youre a knight in shining armour about to go feast on crabs with your weird looking creature
lances need to be removed from the game, pointless
theyre fun though
@static fjord oooi, moschops are cool, man. They ain't weird. They're cute. Lol
Big Chungus
how dare you steal my method
I think the reason I love them is because they were my first tame. Tgey saved my ass a lot of times when starting out and finding one. Makes the start super easy
nothing can be done?
your carno is literally called horny raptor bobster.
Damn, that's an interesting name
yes, that's why it's my method
to name everything after raptors
where do I find metal in Lost island map?
Moschops are good for gathering but not necessary. It’s good in the sense “oh I have a moschops on me I can use that”, not “bring the moschops everywhere in every situation
what else did you want me to call it
@long flicker what do u call actual raptors tho
true raptor
raptor.
Chickens
the chosen one
ye
So Rex is just hunky chunky raptor
thats giga
No, giga is hunky chunky lumpy raptor
Lmao,
What do you call a parcer? Raptor with a boner?
Ptera is flappy beak raptor
octopedal water raptor
Bot deleted my name for the Tuso in raptor language
Ocean tentacle raptor
what nooblets calls them

Hunkalo-chunky quadruped horsey raptor
oh its not censored.
honestly that alone is enough for my opinion on nooblets to go up
Paracers are just flaccid
first time I heard it it made me audibly lol
Nooblets really could do with shortened videos.
A rock drake is floofy crawly glider raptor
nooblets laugh gives me energy
King titan is Godzilla raptor but purple
@static fjord indeed. He and phlinger phoo.
Philinger phoos laughter is wholesome
Corrupted avatar is raptor but the man behind the slaughter
@paper nimbus rotten raptor
its all fun and games in phase 1 of cmc until you see those guys with the grenades piercing saddles and natural armour doing 1300 damage
Coughs in haven’t done cmc yet
dont blame you cmc gives you cancer
Because genesis to CHONKY for my poor pc
gen 1 is like, the most stable map for me with the exception of the obvious.
Wait they Peirce saddles?
the grenade dudes yeah
Explains why my creatures die so quickly lol
I'm on ma way to extinction. Can't wait to reach genesis. Wanna try the mission thingy.
I've decided to fck rockwell up with nothing but a 450 shotgun
all i remember is seeing my reapers and theris take massive amount of damage despite the fact that they used to take double digit
And cactus soup ofc
I was on my yuty in the back
Then I collected keys when I could
i was just running throughout the entire fight
i was like ooga booga cave man just blasting whoever i saw
I need help I don't know what to do all the structures and the dino are gone I don't know what to do but I would like to recover or prevent the next one
what do you mean everything's gone? like your savefile got deleted?
cmc?
save is but has no dino and structure
corrupted master controller
ah
so the original save is there but everything got wiped without creating a new savefile?
yep level has been
do you know what could have caused it.
I heard it might be due to the game shutting down incorrectly
but this is impossible
I don't believe ark works like that
i dont think you can recover your stuff but you can prevent it in the future by creating back ups of your saves every now and then
level has been
whats level has been?
Guys it worth downloading Survival of the Fittest or is it dead game?
it's not the first time it happened to me often, but then it stopped and now again
level will not disappear
make backups of your saves then, if it wipes you can replace it with the backup
and there is no other option?
Hey ark/wildcard can we please add the ability to copy door settings like the copy dino settings? Buildings dino pins and breederies with dino gates and behes. Would be nice to copy all settings than changing all 50 doors 1 by 1 to stop auto open and stay open settings
That's how I was
isnt that an s+ feature?
By the color of their name they can't access s+
auto open isn't a thing in regular ark though, so
thats why im confused
Oh
Pretty sure it is only s+ but sent them to the game suggestions forum anyway
Well that's a first, I was trying to walk into ice castle on center and got flung to the world border in 3seconds. Didn't lose anything but weird
yo any1 in any Trading ark communities? would be thankful if a inv was was sent to me.
Can someone explain to me how to play with friends on Xbox?
What this gotta do with ark ik I feel bad for you but
Get Xbox live.
Make server
Or join server and play with friends
Fairly simple
any tips how to tame Allosaur?
either trap the entire pack in cages or trap your desired allo after killing its pack.
ok thanks
dont beat yourself up over it, its near impossible
I finished it a while ago
It was a huge impact on my mental and physical health
One member in my tribe have done it but it’d be nice to do
I don’t really like that they’ve made some missions near impossible
As long as one tribemate hosts the boss battle you don't have to have the missions completed
Yeah It’s just I’d like to be able to get alpha on all missions
On gen 1 the hunt missions on alpha were near impossible now here some missions are near impossible on gen 2 🤣
Basilisks make gen 1 hunt missions a breeze
you need everyone to have the missions for gen 2 bossfight.
Hell yeah, glad the trap worked!
Im on ps4 and if want to parachute with a bloodstalker its the same as opening Chat can i somehow change that?
Informing you all
?
I swear those climbing picks are bugged af
Sometimes I jump and go inside walls and fall to my death dor no fucking reason. They juat break the damn game
i accidently fed a wild bloodstalker my breeder lol
If my Dino's die in a simulation mission do I lose them?
@static fjord I just found a way to get unlimited biotoxin in Ab. Accidentally, actually. And guess what, you use a freaking moschops
Just park him near the cursed mushroom, don't know what it's called, and he'll passively gather them.
thats cool, but what if i stepped 2 metres deep into the ocean.
Huh, what are you talking about?
im joking about the fact that cnidaria swarm you as soon as you enter the ocea
Ooh. Yeah, that's in the ocean. Here in ab is much easier to get. No, actually the easiest place to get biotoxin is the island. Thier dead bodies are floating everywhere
but theres cnidaria in ab too.
@static fjord really? Where?
blue zone water
I'm actually talking about the poisonous mushrooms. Park a moschop next to it and he'll keep gathering them infinitely.
Oh, I'm still in green zone
yeah i know, does it work when the moschops is unrendered? cause if so thats kinda revolutionary.
it has to be rendered
I don't know.
why does my wild bloodstalker refuse to eat my dinos.
@static fjord do you play sp?
yes.
@static fjord do your dinos need to be rendered in order to mate and lay eggs? For some reason, now they don't lay eggs unless I'm close to them and that's a pain in the butt
Like I go out and explore for hours and return to see that they haven't laid a single egg
How to bring a Dino into a mission with me on gen2?
Does it code red allow flyers? That may be why
yeah they dont mate when unrendered
this bloodstalker tame has actually given me unknown disesses
If you can set them up so they can be on wander and still be in range of each other they still mate out of render
curious if the hg stryder box is safe to use? heard it wasnt but wanted to verify
How do you beat downriver run on alpha difficulty 🤣
Wait really? It won't break the mushroom?
at times like this I wish I was on a server mainly😂
like 10k metal I have to smelt
Hi does anyone know how to get dinos to spawn at higher levels?
currently im trying to get high level rexes to breed for bosses on a solo but the max level ive found is 10
is there a setting for it
yeah i had no idea what that was for thanks
what is the best gun to defend against animals inside of desert? average level is 50-100 (and attachment if needed)
anyone here play a server called officials overrated? tryna refind the discord server
its not on the server list but idk if the discord is still up
I'm suddenly getting insane frame drops every time I turn, is there anything that would cause this
dont turn
my only solution would be turning down graphics settings
if you are on console its normal
Spam
Loading in features near certain areas
Tames
Yeah I had like 80 leftover tames from breeding sitting around so I killed all those first, but hasn't seemed to get better
I'm on pc
You have a huge base?
Nah pretty small
It's just a cliff enclosed with dino gates and the important structures on a cliff platform, nothing big
Idk
Yeah it's weird. Just started happening yesterday
i have a question i have a chemistry bench, i am mass crafting Cementing paste, how much chittin and stone should I put it in for maximum potentiol?
like what % stone and what % chitin
id do like 60% stone 40% chitin since its 32 stone and 16 chitin per craft
maybe 75 to 25
Hello, I am playing on a server with a friend, it's our own server with almost the official stats to play during a long time. We are looking for people to play with us. Send me a text if you are interest 😉 !
if u just do the alpha of the boss fights to u get all the tek grams that come with that boss
so u dont have to do gamma and beta
@crimson sonnet check out #735196255483068497.. or you can advertise your server in #800537627752398899 or #800537518843756544
How long does ark take to download?
hmm. idk PS but when i did it on Xbox it was about 2 hours. I imagine both stores have similar bandwidth throttles
It's about 100 gb
Oh 2 hours that’s not too bad
So divide that by your average download speed
Ok
i had gigabit internet, but the throttle was 200mbps or so
oh youll get it in a reasonable time i think
Ok
im guessing PS Plus is like the Xbox Game pass?
Kinda
You get online play , deals and 2 or 3 free games every month the new games come out on the first Tuesday of the month at 5 pm gmt
Do you get to keep the games permanently?
Until the subscription expires
Ah I see
For me though I play games for 3-4 months and then drop them sp it kinda works out since I have it for a year
Yeah it makes a lot if sense if you like trying new things
Yeah it works well as an intro to games to see if you like them
Last few months have been real disappointing for the games though
The only "real" video game I play is ark so it would be a huge waste for me lmao
I have a gaming laptop and its sole use is ark 😂
How long have you been playing for?
Wdym
Well I only got PC 2 months ago, I got the laptop as a gift and before that had never thought I was going to play the real deal because like I said this is legit the only "real" game I'm interested in, so I could never justify purchasing a powerful enough device just to play it. Before then, I played mobile a ton, had like 800+ hours in it
Most people here will say it's complete shit because we've been spoiled by the full experience, but as a standalone mobile game it's incredibly good
yeah, besides the fact you "have" to buy things (extremely common on free to play games especially mobile) its fine :P at least I think so 🤷
I'm always seeing cool things mobile has :P
And you really don't "have" to buy anything
yeah :P
Is 36 base melee on my megalos good enough for rockwell or will I need to do some muts
Ehhhh
Megalos are powerful so you should be good
End goal for alpha is 20k+ health and 1k+ melee, with a decent ish saddle
Yeah I'm still gonna try for some more but that's my current best. 20k health seems very doable but not sure about 1k melee, most of my tames stall out around 750, but then again I usually give up after the easy levels
I know someone who did it with 15k health but can’t remember the melee or the saddle
I got a 168 rock drake saddle the other day, here's hoping I can find a similar megalo BP 😂
Ooohh just got lucky, 22 wild melee tamed up to 40
Holy shit, wild 37 melee
Fuuuuck it fell into the element river
It's not taking damage though, if I KO it will it survive?
Maybe?
Never heard of something not taking damage from that (other than jellyfish)
It's in the elemental vault so could be immune or something
Damn it. KOd, it fell totally submerged, tried to get near and My shinehorn died
Think I might have to bail
You are on difficulty 6? or 5? if 5, then risking everything you have on you for that stat is way worth it
6
I have swarms of nameless, I think they've hit the megalo :(
Ayyyy I got mutton in its inv
Hopefully this works out lol
I somehow am able to swim in the element River without damage? Is the hazard suit really that OP?
Also the nameless stopped spawning even though I'm uncloaked and have no light pet, the game really wants me to get this guy lmao
Even on diffuculty 6 I would risk a kit for a 37 melee wild megalo lol
Only thing I can't replace is my drake saddle so it's worth a try
But I brought my ascendant comp bow, ascendant pump action, and 2 ascendant longnecks so the grind to craft new ones would suck 😂
Oh shit I also have my only other good megalos cryoed In my inventory, but screw it lol worth the risk
Lol, maybe dont bring everything with you next time lol
First time doing the elemental vault, I overprepared lol
Literally the easiest cave ever
Came here for the arti and also to find high level megalos, so I was multitasking lol. Longnecks were for taming megalos
In ark genesis 2 CIRCUIT CHASE Mission. What's the button for my guy to hook onto the wall? I press space and he only hooks onto the wall after few jumps. Wastes my time. Anyone knows the bind on Pc?
Space bar
@silent matrix is this normal? My drake was taking the damage, my shinehorn took the damage, but I was able to swim with no damage
Why would blue know
Doesn't he work for wc
¯_(ツ)_/¯ he has a relation to wc, doesn’t mean he knows anything/everything
Yeah true lol
No, but feces will work
Hell even if it's like 70% efficiency I still have a shot at 50
is it better to put feces in crops by themselves or turn them into compost?
Fertilizer by a lot
Holy fuuuuck that was scary, megalo tamed and instantly started taking the 200 damage per second
For easy fertilizer tame a low level dung beetle
Baaarely got it cryoed, I'm literally shaking 😂
Unless you have a mod that automates it, you really want to use fert over feces because the plants will last longer
How did it turn out?
Where do i find one?
on The Island
42 😐
Southern cave in the canyon
Still an upgrade but not worth the year of My life I lost
It came out as a 42, that is the saddest thing I have ever heard lol
anyone think they could help me with a visual bug?
@sage umbra can someone help them please? They have the mod mismatch thingy
What bug?
Hmm, the screenshot you sent me looks like terrain isnt loading in. So relogging might work. If not I would suggest validating and updating drivers
Its like I go through hills when I walk up them. Like textures are in the wrong spots.
@prime turret #735196267373920286 for lfg
oof i wish they had an option to disable the j key
You can rebind it
Yes
Depends
Generally yes, but can also refer to megalodon, megaloceros, etc
For real lmao. They still came out pretty good. A little over 10k health after imprint, a little under 500 melee
But I'm sitting here wishing for what might have been 😂
whats good stats for gigas
@ Rarvynth#7106 got 55 melee on diff 5 aberrant megalo
And I know someone who got 49 melee on diff 4
Can’t remember what creature but I don’t think it was a flier
Ye the megalos should be fine as long as you keep them on neutral when they aren’t attacking rockwell
Ah yeah good call
I'm starting to feel like I'm actually equipped for gamma rockwell (other than having good megalo saddles) and it's a terrifying feeling lmao
Anyone know the game ini setting for fibercraft drops. If you do pm me pls. The document for the drops to
How do I smelt element ore
Ask a bob question in bob with prob
But to answer your question is you don’t, you use it to make the full element.
perry my man
Yes?
Thanks ark for auto decaying my dinos
anyone want to play i dont know to much
means weather is coming

What system and you looking for pve or pvp?
Anyone know of any severs to raid lmk
Anyone need Tek engrams on small tribes ? Just farm some tributes for me and I do the lost island boss with you ( engrams : teleporter , transmitter , generator , Tek rifle etc ….)

Is it worth using 2 mutators when breeding. The only downside I see of using more than 1 is the risk of one of the mutations being in the wrong and right stat therefore messing up a clean stack
Do you mean the s+ mutator structure?
yea
It's only 1 mutation and just +2/+4 etc to a stat iirc
So yes, it's worth it, that's not an issue
Provided I'm remembering right-it's been a while- yes
i've been wasting so much time only doing 1 at a time then xD
I don't use S+ so I'm stuck just having to breed for 5 years ;-;
but I have chair of the impatient anyway
im using ss btw not s+ so there might be small differences
Tbh you could use Random Configs
nah I'm fine with it
it's not THAT much RNG with slomo 10 and a lot of breeders
if anything I'd rather decrease the RNG with finding good stats
That's what RC does
oh
You can change the mutation chance, and the amount of rolls for the mutation. It's a more natural feeling way of reducing mutation rng, I'm using it on my server
I think there's another setting for the mutations but I don't remember it
no that's what I said, I'm fine with mutations since my current method makes them not as much of an issue
but finding good stats out in the wild is what's really annoying
sure, I could just mutate more
but I don't want to
because I'm stupid
i got a tek rex that tamed out with 55 melee and another with 51 hp
Oh I read that as 'mutations' not stats sorry
I see
non tek that's like 42 or 43 so not THAT impressive
still, nice
But the time spent mutating is so much longer than taming
For me it's usually the opposite, especially since I can do other shit while mutating like farm paste and gacha shit
Nah 55 is pretty damn good
You can't like.. play, in slomo tho
as in do other shit?
idrk, I guess I prefer sitting down and breeding over going out and taming? I'm weird
yep
Taming is more interactive and varied for me, breeding is more of just a repetitive process
And takes waaaaaay longer
join the slomo gang and it won't
chair of the impatient should use some kind of fuel
Bob I ended up setting my 15 rexes to get 10 levels per mutation with a cd of 8-20 seconds
It still took ages
well yeah I'm not going to 250, I'm going to 80
And I'm gunna redo them because it feels cheatyyyyyyy
join the slomo gang!
Another nice feature if random configs. I have my stats on the server capped at 80
For my sanity
because perfectionist nature?
Kinda
I'm not good at.. stopping, when I start mutating
This gives me a solid end point that's not op
I see
I don't mutate that much so I guess I'll probably change my thinking to be the same as you when I do start doing it seriously
@placid sundial just been told and tested that the mutations will be on different stats
Hm, wonder if that's a super structures thing
Cause there was no way I was consistently getting 5 rolls onto the same stat on my rexes
Well, thanks for letting me know
whens ark two? seeming im banned for no reason on normal ark
remember that time I got the exact same rolls 5 times for my spy missions in warframe
3 rolls versus 7
fair enough
maybe that just means I'm bored of ark in general
since ark is mainly a lot of taming and shit
question: can u create a new world/character and restart ur playthrough?
of course
there's a button next to your world to delete your world
you can also delete all singleplayer data
what about creating a new world without deleting ur current one
can do that on PC, not on console tho
you should get a role so we can see your platform
i play ARK mobile ;-;
ark mobile has a separate discord, ask there
it's a different game by a different company
ok, but... i planned to buy ARK on steam
so most people here won't properly know how it works
ye but for now if you have ark mobile questions then it's way better to ask them on the other discord
yes, but i'm asking about ARK pc
well, I already answered that
so i will have a prio knowledge about the game, before actually buy it
best to learn by playing the game
Not necessarily, I speedran getting knowledge by looking up guides and dododex data
I said best, doesn't mean other methods can't work
There's a lot of specific interactions and breakpoints that would be a pain to learn just by playing
Like how taming works
I never said JUST to play
but JUST reading about it won't give as much as proper experience would
hello?
not yet
okay, thx
I actually regret watching so many guides, I never really got to experience it truly
I read the wiki AND experienced it truly, so I'm superior >:D
I did both but not much of the latter
same tbh
It’s a bad habit of mine, I get a new game and then read every single page of the wiki
Yeah I'm glad I went into ark with pretty much no idea what I was doing, that first month or so I spent with no fucking idea, working everything out and just doing whatever, is one of my favourite experiences to this day
I only do that if there's an ungodly amount of specific things
Anything with crafting recipes
ARK lore is insane...
Fax
how to make multiple saves on the same map ingame
Swap out the Saved/the maps folder. If by 'ingame' you mean 'through the menu', you cant
I cant leave the game to do that i am playing on an app that makes the game not lag
Ah yeah afaik you have no file access so there'd be no way to
And why didnt the game devs make it possible
what the armor of the cap carbo saddle?ç
Hey I’m not sure if this is the right Channel to text this in but is anyone willing to teach me how to play ark
Like the basic basics?
Well I know the basic stuff to do but I’m not very good at ark
Oh ok thanks
Does the Ark gensis pass include 1 and 2>
yeah, both are together
and when it says pass does that mean run out?
or just a pass that gets you them forever
Trees provide wood and thatch, rocks provide stone and flint. You can use different tools to collect different materials from each resource.
Most tools, items, buildings, and saddles require these items.
Rocks can rarely give metal ore, which you can smelt into better tools and saddles.
Use narcotic and narcotic arrows to knock out dinosaurs, with bigger and better dinos requiring more arrows to tranquilise.
Some dinos are carnivores and need meat, some are herbivores and like berries (the purple ones are best).
Doesnt run out
Another question, how does the genisis work, I know you can complete missions but what all does it give from a more PVP and competitive aspecrt
gambling?
I don't know about Gen 1 but Gen 2's missions provide buffs like taming efficacy and baby maturation
you can buy loot crates that can give you good shit
but it's only a chance, so ✨ gambling ✨
oh
magmas are great for metal and obsidian
and so what are the strong dinos, I know bloodstakers are quite good but anything else, It seems to me the whale isnt all that good and gets outclassed by other flyers and the little bear guy is cute and fun but again isnt as good
astrocetus are really cool looking decorations
that's about it
Idk about dinos from a PVP perspective, since I don't play pvp
Can someone send me ark offical trading discord link?
They probably mean trading discords for official pvp/pve servers
Yeah
Click uninstall
Joking, but don’t grind ridiculously all you will get burnt out
play the game
don't die
2 best tips
Dont do everything at once as you still need to breed dinos
Get your dinosaur breeding pair, get breeding for mutations and do all your tasks
Ah
dying doesnt matter too much, just make sure youre in a position to get your stuff back
play on PC is best tip
If you’re new, just play, explore
Out of curiosity, ightning wyverns have higher dps than gigas from what I can tell, so why are gigas so popular? The health pools aren't huge like wild gigas and they don't have bleed either
Plus there's the whole rage thing
Why are there almost no servers on pc??
Because gigas dont take 600 stam to bite
better AOE and no friendly fire I would assume
they also have a total of 0.05 seconds of stam
Yeah, wyverns with good stam breeding are actually insane
Lightning wyvern doesnt out dps
Even just an imprint will do a lot of good
it does, last I checked
that's pretty boosted
Why are there almost no servers on pc?? Do u have to get whitelisted or sm
max damage a giga on official can do is 14k
I've done like 40k from my lightning ones in 1 breath
it's not, last I checked
How long is a wyvern breath
How long is a lightning breath then
3.3 for lightnings, with a cooldown later but I Forgot
Anyone got a server and a tribe i can join??
I calculated the entire thing a while ago with a wiki admin, you can read that if you're too curious
So 40k damage every 5 seconds
Either way, lightning has better overall stamina bc they can actually get good bred stamina
Definitely not more dps
"definitely"
you dont need any stam on giga you can continue to bite
Don't tame gigas have like 15k health
I said like 5 times that I calcualted it already
17k, and 33k after imprint
My gigas will full imprint have 40k
I have that on a wyvern lol
Gotta stack the healths alongside melees
Haven't started hp breeding yet
you cant saddle a wyvern either
Why would you mutate anything but melee on gigas
King titan exists
Oh right
you wouldn't
Saddles are big
what about king titan makes levelling/mutating health helpful
Im not even gonna answer such a dumb question
it'll die in like 2 or 3 hits regardless
any points into anything besides melee on a giga does literally nothing. microscopic increases
yeah an extra like 200 health is not going to help much against kt lol
Yeah but when you’re speaking 100+ points not so microscopic
you can increase a giga's health to around 44 or 45k I think, if you mutate it to the max, imprint it and pump all levels into health
so a 10k increase for 88 levels and 254 wild points rather than 40 wild levels
that's pretty fucking microscopic
especially with KT
Also wasting the tame levels
a 4hp vs 50hp giga is like 1k health
Wild stat not imprinted
what
what
Stfu
I gave the number right here
I cant be bothered to argue
alright then, I'll assume you have no idea what you're talking about
I can't tell if you're a troll or not
Pull up
probably a troll
bruh
Sorry the pve god is here
Poison wyverns though
Get that to 400+ melee that will out dps anything
Anyone got a server i can join??
I think this is one of the times when I calculated the damage
Bobster do you actually still have the calc for the max dmg output of lightning Wyverns secondary attack? I was thinking about maybe testing it on a server with a magnifying glas or hlna on gen vs highest hp targets but it’s a big hassle to set up / test for 200+ pts in dmg wyvs.
Would be nice to have sth to counter check my stuff with
with levels, wyverns do better dps
If u talk about out dps anything in a poison wyv that’s not right
😕
Poisons ignore armor and resistance
the chats are here but the calculations themselves I did randomly on google calculator so those are lost
For bosses, nothings beating basilisk or poison
I can always calculate it again, but I won't be doing that rn
however I'm also assuming alex is correct when he says 20-25 ticks per second on a healthy server, which I don't know about since I don't play on servers
and on singleplayer it's based on fps which means I can't test it on singleplayer since it wouldn't be accurate
Can you link it to me possibly? I mean the numbers / findings alone would be interesting for comparison to see / check if I made some calculation mistakes with like not properly timing pause for checking HP and such
one of them started here
if you have mods, then dinostorage spawndino command can spawn dinos with specific stat values
Bleed does. I have a 110 ish points into dmg basilik (lvl 412 from glitch tame with phase pistol healing) + leveling and I barely use it. Tried it on gen missions even but other options work better / faster
Yea don’t really have them yet, plus I wanna do it on an official server, since ppl always go like “but bruh that not official” etc 😝😂
Since I got not many goals after years on ark anyways, I like to test such things thoroughly on official xD
Ayo im rly new to the game.i just downloaded it, can someone help me? Its kinda confusing
is it possible to remove the barrier on ps4?
sure
dm's for no waiting time?
Nope that I know of
Really needs to be a thing you should be able to remove
its there to help you.
depends on which setting
can reduce armor of a saddle, a fire attack, and cant remember the other one
what are WC doing in the patches?
hunt mission dinos on ge2 have been spawning under the mesh for months.
what are those exploits they are fixing with each patch?!
I dont have gen 1
Nvm my magma doesnt need anymore Amber he wants to go on a walk
I wish it wasnt s thing though
It feels like cheating
Maybe im just a sucker for 2016 ark
Lost Island
Where exactly
What happens if I run out of time when fighting a boss?
I'm gonna fight alpha rockwell with an ascendant shotgun. But I'm afraid the time won't be enough
you die
and lose ur stuff
you still die in singleplaer
in singleplayer there isnt a timer to begin with though
@static fjord oh god. U think it's doable with a 450 shotgun? I really don't want to breed spino army
@static fjord oh, really? Haha? U sure mate? I haven't paid much attention to the timer
will take some time but if dura is fine yes
take like 3k ammo lol
Durability is superb. I actually have a bp for a 387% & 850 durability shotgun. But I pumped all levels into crafting skills and used focal chilly and was super lucky and ended up with 456 damage and 1.2k durability
1.2 durability
🤣
take 2 to be sure, like 10 focal and cactus, 3 sets of flak. if aggro something just keep running around the circle they lose interest
Oof that's a lot! But'll manage
if you aggro a reaper then start praying
probably wont need it better to have more tho
i'd recommend bringing a melee weapon, for the first 2 waves no minions spawn so you can melee down the tentacles to save ammo
@reef wyvern I have a tek suit and 60 elements.
tek abilities dont work in boss arenas
@static fjord I have 500 damage sword
you can just run its not really an issue. save the element for if shit hits the fan
From the generous raptor claus
hit the back ones first then work your way to the ramp
the ramp is your friend, rarely anything ever goes there
which boss are y'all talking about
we had a reaper hanging out with us on it one wipe, never aggroed
rockwell
rockwell
melee the tentacles?
yeah for the first 2 waves
using cactus broth strat?
swords do have some insane dps tho
once it hits wave 3 nameless start spawning which is when i'd start using a shotgun
put a timer for your cactus broth too just in case you forget to refill it lol.
he has a good shot gun no need to risk
you can hit the cactus before it runs out too
there isnt a risk though, ive used a sword and nothing happened
do it with a compound bow 
ive seen several people get glitched by them
i know, but you dont want to waste any broth so pop it at like 30 seconds
Which ramp are u guys talking about?
rockwell arena
the one at the front that leads to the heart
Oh ok
hes in singleplayer so he can cheat ghost if he gets glitched.
you can glitch and die is what i mean
never seen that happen on sp.
might be a pc bug
no i mean everytime i see it its usually when someone runs close to the tentacles and then they lag under
in sp i never get rubber banded
@static fjord but the thing is, if I'm going to use a sword, I'll have to mind wipe and pump my melee
no, theres no timer so for the first 2 waves the only thing you need to worry about is running out of cactus broth.
go do rockwell with a simple pistol
my point is at the first 2 waves nothing spawns so you can just relax, at wave 3 and onward use the shotgun
Don't worry. I'll grab a shit ton of consumables. I've got a huge ass farm that produces everything.
Ark says it’s taking 14 hours is this a glitch?
make sure you bring water and food.
@static fjord aight, I'll keep that in mind. First 2 waves no spwans
@static fjord definitely! I've got a recipe with 700 food and 400 health.
those recipes regen hp really slowly so bring med brews just in case
yeah it's annoying how slow they are
Alright!!!
Thank you so much, guys! This will really be super super helpful. You guys are lifesavers!
Ineed to prepare all consumables now. And craft a shit ton of bullets too
reposting from when I posted it in the wrong chat
"I just saw the Tiamat mod, its so cool. Do you think WC will adopt it as an offical map like they did with Fjordur? The game desperately lacks a good aquatic map for people like myself. Best Ive got is a tiny corner on lost island"
you can get half a good aquatic map with gen 1s ocean,
also laggy af
but looks really nice at least
what do you mean gen 1 is like one of the most stable maps for me
Getting conflicting information to start GEN two boss Rockwell prime only the person that initiates it needs to have all the missions done correct?
no, everyone needs to do it.
gen 1 is the one where only one guy does it
Damn lol thanks!
Which map do you guys consider the hardest and why?
For me, aberration is the hardest map so far. Don't know about gen cuz I haven't reach that point but aberration is extraordinarily brutal.
Abb is the hardest for sure
Also, the glitches here are fatal too. I use climb pick and find my self teleporting to another dimension to die there with my pet and everything on lost forever.
I'll never use the climbing pick again. Never ever
you cant fly plus you cant normaly live in 2/3 of the map
yeah but all tbose difficult stuff makles a goog base on aberration really hard to raid
You can live in green and blue and red just less of the red zone
yeah but on blue zone you also have to watch out
@tall minnow will they be fixing the thyla ban on boss fights with the incoming patch?
Green zone is very laggy personally I prefer to live in blue
you playing pvp?
@main shoal I actually just built my base in blue zone.
Super good spot
Metal is everywhere
Both and I have the same opinions
Yes I prefer the blue to any other region on abb
it seems to me that ab is the only map where you can built on official without getting raided after a week
Well, all that's left for me here before confronting rockwell is to tame a basilisk and a reaper
That's so weird to me
besides mesh ratholes
Every part of the map is visible from the top lol
I just want to play with someone, dm me pls im rly new
Yea It seems like most people stay off abb
@grave needle no way haha
Wait what were
On ab, if you go to the waterfall overseeing the overlook, you can look straight down through all the levels of the map
Feel like there's literally nowhere to hide on ab lol
have you ever raided a good built cliff plat with tek turrets that on abberation nearly imposible
@grave needle thats scuffed
Yea that is scuffed lol
When I start on abb in pvp I usually build in the roof in blue zone
there are plenty of good spots even rat holes
I don't speak British, what does scuffed mean 😂
what language do you speak xd
Murican! Lmao
try google translate
i can't do downriver run alpha
it's so painful
@main shoal do you play currently on ab Small cause still lookiung for mates xd
Yea that shits hard
have you done it yet?
I just hope 2 we get an official release of tiamat. I feel like it would make the map list complete to have a good oceanic map
I dont care if its a scorched earth situation. Environment based maps are cool
not really
we got gen 1 ocean
it's good enough
but more ocean bosses could be cool ig
gen 1 ocean is small and full of missions. I really like it but there is still a bit it lacks
it'd be pretty difficult to make an only ocean based map though.
sounds like you need subnautica xD
Ive played sub nautica
subnautica is so short though.
true
I know an ocean map isnt for everyone. I just think it would be cool.
honestly i'd take any map that isnt just the island but biomes rearranged and maybe some dlc content
maps like extinction and aberration i will always hold deep in my heart
right! I really enjoyed scorched earth. I felt like they could have leaned into biome heavy dlcs but I think all the negative press that got kind of dissuaded them
truely, se is my favourite map.
Its unique
i really don't like gen 2. It'd be nice if the missions didnt have to be 100% completed (on said difficulty) to fight the boss, which is preeetty easy compared to the missions
plus the map is kinda.. meh
but when i say that i dont want a map thats just biomes rearranged, i want to see some actual creativity rather than just reusing assets in the same biomes and making it look like a copy and paste.
I can respect what genesis did. I think its great to mix things up. But it isnt your traditional ark experience
gen 1 isn't too bad (we don't talk 'bout the alpha hunt missions)
gen 1 is amazing but i think they went a bit too overboard with gen 2, way too easy and you get spoilt with tek tier.
for sure
the alpha hunts are easy, its the gauntlets that give you cancer.
but some of the missions are near impossible
Gen 2 just gives you tek armor, lol
like the downriver run and starwing strike alpha
starwing strike is hard? you mean star dolphin?
I did the downriver run on alpha. Its doable but all 3 of your teammates need to cooperate and the server needs to not lag
star dolphin was genuinly fun, and completing it on alpha actually felt like an accomplishment rather than "let me just get some quick hexagons and loot"
downriver run is also a solo one livaitte, that's team downriver you're talking about
i think downriver run was a kinda stupid mission tbh.
yes
Canoe is hard to control
the turning doesn't turn quick enough 99% of the time
sometimes it veers for no reason
yea
not only is it just really hard but i dont enjoy sitting in a boat and my only objective is to avoid rocks
i've tried watching videos on it but they don't really do anything XD
gamma and beta are a piece of cake tho
indeed
I wish the skin was permanent
at least star dolphin is fun
imo they should of made it so that you need to complete a set amount of missions rather than all of gamma to fight gamma, all of beta to fight beta and so on.
the thing i hate is how long it takes to get to the fighting part
yeah it's really unneeded
Dolphin racing in gen 1 was the closest I think we got to a good oceanic racer
i don't want to do a dumb boat race to fight a boss
i like the starting part because you need to be on your toes otherwise you dont get enough points
the bossfight was cool though
yeah but the boat race.. really?
As Ive said before. I admire what genesis did but it was not the traditional ark experience
maybe if you didn't fail for gently touching a rock because the boat decided to have a mind of it's own i would actually enjoy it
im just on gen for the shadow manes and gigas
i'm trying to complete all bosses on alpha difficulty
done king titan, overseer, valguero and aberrant rockwell already
gen 1 put a spin on the ark formula, but it was actually good. gen 2 on the other hand...
I honestly prefer to play the free maps that come after an expansion. Im down with paying for the expansions so I can keep paying the devs but TBH I think the free ones are more purchase worthy. The new content added in terms of items and creatures are also significantly nice
enjoying lost island a lot
even if they made gen 2 need like 90% of the missions done it'd be fine as you can do almost all of them with just a bit of practise
imo the free dlcs so far have been underwhelming
like with the paid dlcs they add whole new biomes and content for you and then in the free dlcs its either island but rearranged or island but with dlc content
i think val is the only one thats actually decent compared to the paid dlcs.
I see what you guys are saying and I agree
i enjoy valguero but ragnarok feels a bit meeeh, just a map to farm easy drops
i never understood why everyone loved ragnarok.
I like rag because of horses but I dont really have a favourite map
Wasnt it the first of these community made maps?
isnt it center?
center, you are right
its pretty meh
not too many good base spots
i admire rag for adding some new content but i dislike how its just reskinned dinos but bigger, like iceworm or lava elemental
TBH I havent spent much time on some of the other maps. Ive played scorched earth, Gen 1 and 2, The Island, Lost Island, Vulgero and whatever the one was where you are in a highly tech place with 4 biomes at the corners
anyways, tips for alpha riverrun?
extinction.
yeah i got one, forcecompletemission is an easy way to complete it without getting unknown diseases.
i looooooooooooooooooooove extinction
yeah, I think I stayed away from aberration because I wasnt prepared for it but I never got back around to actually going far in it
There was also the weird one where you are in a deep cave that just goes on forever
I did like that one but my friends didnt stick to it for long
which one was that?
isnt that aberration?
Deep cave that goes on forever sounds like a backrooms level or SCP
It probably IS one
I have no idea. The biggest issue my friends have is sticking with one map long enough to learn all about it. Weve started over several times now
We just barely started breeding our crystal wyverns
Heck, took forever to get a bee
why dont you do a cluster?
We do actually
Its complicated. I want to play with them not stay hurdled in an area that might include only myself. If I was to do things my way it would be weeks before we would even meet up in game
I always try to play solo but then meet new people quickly and merge forces with them, and all my plans go out the window 🤣
And I kinda hate having to wait for a day where everyone is free to do something haha
But I like the people I tribe with lmao
Thats the pain Im going through. The server owner of the server Im currently in only gets one like once every 2 weeks and he wonders why everyone ends up with large bases so quickly
I just wish hed get one once a week
I got on to play ark just now and it says I have to install the game?? I've been playing for the past 2 months or so and I have all the DLCs already downloaded and installed.
I'm on steam btw
Tell me what yall got. Looking for a new cluster
-5 to 8 man ish
-Weekdays vs weekend settings
-Many maps such as all maps except scorched earth
-Wipes around the 11th. 3 month ish wipes
-150 dinos. Wyverns 190 if possible
-stryders allowed
-7x to 15x harvest
-decent population
-boosted taming speeds and others
-unlimited or boosted weight.
-custom drops, custom stack size
-some custom craft
-all time mindwipes
-150 ish turret limit
-no structure limit
HJow do I wipe my character from a server
Anyone else notice stryder works a lot better after update without crashing? Seems they nerfed rates too though, doesn't get as much org poly or ambergris bow
Wait you farm org poly with stryder?
Farm
Get higher level unlock new stuff, tame dinos to protect you
You play pvp?
I suggest you play pve first, to understand basic stuff after that move to pvp
Play pve sever
Yeah i highly recommend pve for newer players, other players cant hurt you in pve
Yea, was the quickest way to get it
on ab?
Yep
Bear gets more per, but stryder cleared the whole area and kept going. Stryder would be black boxed well before the bear. Now stryder seams like it got a heavy nerf on it, bear may be better again.
good to know
is there any good way to find ppl to play with on ps4? went to lfg forums and nothing for ps players
just reply to this if you can help ty
Im also looking for someone to play with
Cuz these servers ass
Do Alpha Gigas exist
Lol no just the lvl 600’s that spawn in Rockwell cave during fight
Can u tame that one
No
Ok ty lol
Np
And what's ambergris for
Are you looking for official or unofficial
My friend wanted me to get ambergris so I got 100k of it
I nvr use it I dnt remember lol
i am not looking for servers, im just looking for at most 3 other ppl to just chill w, servers are cringe
Servers are cringe?.. lol wut
64 player ark servers are cringe
I suppose that can be added
