ark-survival-ascended

[silent matrix]

From another tribe

[regal yarrow]

There are friendly people, so you might be able to find an alpha who will look out for you and protect you

[silent matrix]

Yeh im def gonna play it out

[regal yarrow]

It'll be a ride that's for sure. Just try and get decent stuff quick, and hide as much as possible

[silent matrix]

Pretty excited.. i had no idea this game was this good its like the survival stuff i want in one xd

[regal yarrow]

Well there is a reason it is 7 years old and still has 150k daily active players

It's kind of the best there is in the genre

[torpid hemlock]

guys can you help me when i alt tab out of ark sometimes my entire fking pc crashes, this has never happened before but all of a sudden has happened thrice today

[pastel hemlock]

Oh god!
I just stole a drake egg with a 9.4k base health. No imprint

[torpid hemlock]

damn

[pastel hemlock]

I need to know how many hp points he's got. That must be above 45

Is it even possible to max out a dino???

I went and got my drake a quadruple explorer note and used a lystro and I literally killed 65 lvl 251 baby spinos and only got 63 levels

[wicked nymph]

About 45

9408 would be 45 points

[regal yarrow]

Yeah it is, but it takes a lot. I killed 250 baby gigas to max my theri

[pastel hemlock]

@wicked nymph I see. I got hella lucky there

[stark sparrow]

Hi

[pastel hemlock]

@regal yarrow ooooof. That is a loooot. I haven't found a female giga yet to start producing eggs

[regal yarrow]

I didn't have xp notes though, so. That would have made a difference

A lustro can help, and a tribe mate using a grinder

But past about 60 levels it is really hard to level further

[tough yarrow]

@versed valve use #735196277221883964 for lfg

[tough yarrow]

@stark sparrow use #735196255483068497 for lfg

[tranquil geyser]

#735196255483068497

[stark sparrow]

Are u inviting me bro?

[paper nimbus]

no, just dont post it here

[tranquil geyser]

No i am telling you to post your add on #735196255483068497

@stark sparrow

[stark sparrow]

Ow haha.. thanks bro..

[lone imp]

@viral shore @peak finch Fix server cap bozos

[thorn spear]

You sure showed them boss

[paper nimbus]

yep, that sure made a big difference.

[silent matrix]

I am brand new to the game can someone help me I am on PS4

[void wasp]

ping again

[half quail]

The team is investigating EU connection issues on the Official Network...and still no results ?????

[bronze wing]

what happend?

[thorn spear]

It’ll be in announcements probably or on Ceds Twitter feed

[thorn spear]

Nothing at all lol

[bronze wing]

m8 even if the connection issue is fixed dont keep ur hopes up on the evo being extended, i highly highly highly doubt it will extend for few loosers like us who were unable to join in with our main characters/bases

why does WC not make ingame micro transaction for x2 x3 x5 rates? per toon / server the person uses it ?

[half quail]

dont care about event..just whanne play game normal without high ping

[bronze wing]

ahh ok thx i thought something happend

[bronze wing]

its gonna be another 5 years m8, oh wait ark 2 will out and this game will die.. so .. just give up lol

speaking of which... will ark be still available for solo / single play when ark2 comes out?

i know its a touchy subject like but still i do wonder

[void wasp]

of course no results, its ark, nothing ever gets fixed here

[thorn spear]

Yeah should be for single player and unofficial. Official will probs rumble on for a while until it becomes unviable financially to keep them running

[wheat quail]

I agree @half quail I just want my server back and honestly just to pack my stuff up.

[bronze wing]

its unviable financially as it is bruh.. otherwise issues on high ping / connections / crash's would have been long fixed, it is online game after all solo mode suks

[thorn spear]

Nah dlc has kept it financially viable for now. Plus Gamepass etc. but with Ark 2 out sales will dwindle and they’ll want to spend on servers for Ark 2 instead. That’s when it will change

[bronze wing]

i mean im still shocked that the studio has 0 perople in their server / networking department over the weekend.. im truely shocked

im only salty cause this is 3rd event im missing out on

[thorn spear]

It’s only a 2x harvest, tame, xp. If you’re gonna miss one at least it’s this one

[bronze wing]

idots who been playing the game for like 5years just crash servers cause it doesnt effect them only new players

ahh i know x2 is like a slap but its better than nothing tbh

[sick quiver]

Usually it's the chinks trying to dupe and break eula by rwt, but its just annoying

like they could pick any other time to do it, but they choose to do it on the 2x or 3x events

[bronze wing]

im only missing out on not being able to acces my main toon / base and trade cause i have everyhting on that stupid grief ridden 1010 server

[sick quiver]

I just wonder if EVO's are going to keep happening or not with Regular events ending in a year time.
Since Wildcard isn't going to give a fly about servers getting screwed over in events, I probably need to make a new base for breeding on events on a different map.

[wheat quail]

I've tried for 5yrs to defend Wild Card and their customer service i may only have 4k hrs into this game but it feels like theyre throwing the people who have supported them under the bus for a buck

[sick quiver]

It just shows how gaming companies have become which is sad

[keen schooner]

Transfers down?

[thorn spear]

This game is 7 years old now, it’s time for a fresh start tbh, and hope they can do better

[sick quiver]

No, most likely the server just doesn't want to show up.

[bronze wing]

its not always chinks, it can be anyone really its just they like some one to be skape goat and in this game is chinks sadly

[keen schooner]

I'm on my server, but no character to download

[sick quiver]

I don't want to scapegoat them either, Fox.
But unfortunately whenever a server's performance goes bad, I just see them unload en masse onto the server

[thorn spear]

The issue appears to be a region not so much a single server atm

[wheat quail]

and its really sad. Ark was one of the only online games that i actally talked with other people and was social. They had built such a community and some of the servers are pretty damn close to families.

[bronze wing]

nothing new here m8, when stuiod starts off are no different from restuarants, doing anything and everything to please their guest but once they are self sustaining, they start kicking guests out cause of xyz reason, its not only wc

[sick quiver]

Yeah...

[bronze wing]

yea each stuiod like wc only and only focus on "NEW PLAYER & KIDS" thats it....

i mean graphics in game is like an ugly betty plastered with all the makeup.. its still ugly betty

i delibrately play games on min graphics settings so all that is left is game play...

[sick quiver]

Ark has great potential as a game, but instead of mending the mistakes and actually improving. Its kinda left behind in the dirt

[bronze wing]

no one really cared about monopoly or snakes & ladders having sexy images lol, it was the gameplay and funtime with friends, stuidios have lost sight of their main goal

[thorn spear]

I’m confused what you’re trying to say here, Ark isn’t a new game, it’s old. They want to move on to a new game and pull in more profits, they’re a business at the end of the day

Can’t blame them for cutting support for an old game imo

[bronze wing]

i truely wonder, do u guys even know the salary range of these dev stuidios?

[thorn spear]

Lol you mean execs

Not devs

Fwiw I’m not defending the decision to cut the game loose, I just understand why they will eventually. Like all developers do when they make sequels. Nothing lasts forever

[bronze wing]

they dont need to make ark2

[thorn spear]

How else will they get money in? We don’t pay a subscription and the last two maps were free

[bronze wing]

it can just be expansion but reason ark2 is comming out is casue ark will get abandoned, like u know, jump ships m8 casue cant be arsed to patch things up

[thorn spear]

Ark will NEVER be fixed, it’s broken at the core that’s part of the problem

[bronze wing]

yes but if they dont make free maps the playerbase will die

[sick quiver]

I support the idea for Ark2 but not with how poor they left "Ark 1"
It just doesnt leave a promising future for Ark2.

[wheat quail]

Yes it is old but why fix their flagship game? the one they built a following on and one that customers have countless hours on? Looking at it from a marketing perspective do they really think Ark2 will do well if people are still having issues with the first one? For me it would have been purely support and sentimental reasons for the second one but this idea is quickly changing

[bronze wing]

look i dont mean to sound too harsh, ark 1 is 5/10 product for me tbh

[thorn spear]

It is, Ark is a mess

[bronze wing]

there is another game comming out like ark but more like pokemon

its only matter of time when ark will die in general if wc dont pull up their sleves and say.. right lets make this 100% worth it

[thorn spear]

But it’s unique, they want to start fresh. That’s their choice, they’re a business like I said, Ark isn’t pulling profits but a reworked game they will market as better might do

Ark is 7 years old, if it’s not fixed by now they aren’t gonna fix it

[bronze wing]

and how long will ark2 be like ark1?

[thorn spear]

People aren’t upset they’re abandoning Ark, they’re upset that the effort they put into raising and playing will be gone

[bronze wing]

u know stuidos pull players based on their performance track record right?

so far ark2 is only hoping all ark1 player base jumps ship with them if not they will be in major losses

[thorn spear]

The number of people on this discord and on Twitter shows otherwise with Ark though

[sick quiver]

This discord is a meme and you know it

[thorn spear]

They will, it’s FOMO, if you don’t jump on you’ll be wayyyy behind if you decide to later

Or you move on to something else

They’ve decided to roll the dice

[wheat quail]

I agree its not the best running game by any means. We all know and come to love SOME of the bugs with it. But to completly abbandon the people that raised them up is bs. A simple message saying "So long" would have been enough.

[bronze wing]

look problem is, there is 1) new players that just come online play and say "meehh" 2) retaining player who sticks to the game, studios have always made money with method 2 that has always been a concirn of every stuido to retain players

[agile hearth]

hello

[thorn spear]

They’ll be fine, like I said you can’t get the Ark experience anywhere else there’s nothing like it, even if it is a buggy mess

That’s why there’s a still a solid player base now

[bronze wing]

my sinomacrop vahised on server 1020, a day later is spawend at random location in my base and my MEK just vanished instead.. been 3 days its missing

[pastel crypt]

Are a majority of players willing to do that "grind" again with Ark2

[sick quiver]

Thats the sad part about Ark, playerbase gets stepped on essentially

[keen schooner]

So my character is gone after transferring yesterday while the servers were unstable. I can "Download survivor" but no characters shows up. What the fuck to do?

[thorn spear]

Check the server you transferred off to make sure it’s not there

[keen schooner]

I checked

[thorn spear]

Otherwise ticket is the only way sorry

[keen schooner]

Only 1 of the servers say "Download survivor"

[bronze wing]

dw like degital extreme with warframe, were to arogent now tencent is making game like warframe the devs are actually giving a shit now, even went as far as saying "we are sorry and we appreciate our player " etc etc

thats wc future imo

[sick quiver]

Tencent is a fucking scam, avoid their games if u can

[thorn spear]

The grind was the best part for me, being at end game was boring af. That’s opinion though, I do think a chunk of the player base won’t want to start again

[light shard]

Hey just downloaded ark again on my new pc and it weights 280 GB

I know a lot of the stuff there are DLCs I don't even have

Is there a way to just remove that useless data without corrupting the game so it weights less ?

[pastel crypt]

I agree, the grind "was" fun, but I know, at least for me, it is still up in the air if I want to do it again, lol

[dense fern]

Fr

[long flicker]

the game's around 350-400 GB with all the DLC's, so 280 seems normal

gen, LI and CI are the 3 heaviest DLC's, though genesis has 2 maps and actual fucking content

[thorn spear]

The grind is what makes Ark for me, taming dinos, exploring the maps, building a base. Once you’ve done all that it’s…. Meh. Like I said it’s opinion and as I’m solo these days I’m efficient. Everyone will feel differently about it

[sick quiver]

Steam allows u to right click on the game in ur Library and then properties, DLC and then uncheck DLCS you dont want or need

[wicked nymph]

For curiosity, on normal rates?

[thorn spear]

Yeah official

[dense fern]

Don’t you want the the dlc thingys if you’re playing online? Imagine seeing a mana without the files lol

[thorn spear]

I’m one of those sadistic folk

[pastel crypt]

same here; i played official

[bronze wing]

tbh i cant be arsed, i dont have sooo much time to waste, im not a millionare who can just sit and repeate the process over and over again

[sick quiver]

Creatures are always visible, Maguire

[dense fern]

Ah

[light shard]

Thanks

[bronze wing]

i dont mind doing initial grind but repeated grind? u must be joking right lol

[wicked nymph]

I've only played like x5 / x10 and can't even imagine taking a full day for certain things, i'm someone who can barely fit 2/3hrs per day doh

[thorn spear]

But what do you do now? Just breed constantly?

[dense fern]

That’s ark. Beginning to mid is awesome. Endgame is where people quit

[pastel crypt]

for me, its mainly breeding/trading/selling...etc

[sick quiver]

Ive repeated the startup grind a few times, but honestly it's a joke and quite easy.
Especially if you start on Gen1 or Gen2

[thorn spear]

When you know what you’re doing it goes verrrrry fast. I’m talking ungodly number of hours figuring things out

Bored out of my mind trying to mut my rexes again for no real reason. And if you play pvp you are literally all about the grind

[paper nimbus]

you already own all the DLC creatures and items by default, its the maps you buy

[sick quiver]

Most of my time is wasted trying to make an appropiate building or placement of things for my liking than farming the resources. Its akward

[bronze wing]

i started in september laster year, got gen 2 in october

so im farely new player still

[thorn spear]

Ahh see, when Ark first came out the rates were even worse it was horrible

[bronze wing]

do without gen1 and gen2 ?

[sick quiver]

Even then it was easy

[dense fern]

Aren’t the maps downloaded anyway? I thought buying the thingy was like a pass. Like a key to a lock.

[wicked nymph]

Interesting. I looked at PvP and played ark survival of the fittest years ago, which i had fun with. But ark's pvp SEEMS to be more about grinding by the looks of it

[sick quiver]

Lost Island I started out fresh ofc since new map and no transfers, basically had all I needed within a week because of Server instability

[thorn spear]

Yup Ark pvp unless you’re an alpha is all about building up getting wrecked and starting again

[sick quiver]

Only thing missing was element

[paper nimbus]

maybe, but then why would it cause extra storage

[bronze wing]

ya i heard off few people on discord yes

[sick quiver]

which was nice, since honestly. Element is an added benefit, not a necessity

[thorn spear]

Same, easy magmasaur, base built rexes for fun. I’ve podded and waiting for Easter mow

[sick quiver]

Yeah the Magmasaur cave is so stupidly easy, its insane

along with the Sulfur change

[paper nimbus]

which was to cater to LI

[dense fern]

Because everyone has the maps installed. You just need to get the key

[sick quiver]

Maewings, Manas, Magmas, Wyverns,

Lost Island was meant to go back to the original "Ark Playstyle" instead of tech memes.
But it literally plonked in some of the better "DLC" creatures.

Btw Johan, If were thinking back about the original rates, We would be on a permanent x3 or x4 right?

[long flicker]

not on pc

[wicked nymph]

Not sure on that one. I had to install CI when i wanted to join 1

[long flicker]

the assets are there but the maps aren't

so you can spawn in crystal wyverns without having CI but you can't play on CI without owning CI

[thorn spear]

Yeah I was day 1, I have no idea what we’re up too now for official, if it’s 3 or 4 but those days were dark. Fun but dark lol

[sick quiver]

I heard of the tales before Cryopods existed, Haha.... I'm glad I did not play then

I did play with Cryo Sleep being an issue but still

[silent matrix]

does anyone have a good guide that shows the best settings for fps? (i saw some videos changing something in the files are those legit ways?)

[bronze wing]

so cryo were never really a thing at start? goshh...

[sick quiver]

I mean, theyre an extinction addition afterall

[thorn spear]

Nope, not till extinction. We had to wait for our dinos to grow in real time

Solo raising was almost impossible

[bronze wing]

geeez

[sick quiver]

Trying to raise a Giga? Ha have fun

[bronze wing]

well it was a great addition

[wicked nymph]

Dinos grow in cryo?

[sick quiver]

Oh your Giga wants to eat exceptional kibble? Goodluck making it

[bronze wing]

no

[pastel crypt]

No way in heck I would have done that; lol

[wicked nymph]

Oh, you guys mean the cryo thing to change what the dino wants

[sick quiver]

Johan meant that U couldn't pause the dino growth/starvation by cryoing it

[thorn spear]

No but you can pause the raising and sleep irl etc

[sick quiver]

Probably the only reason why people became so desperate with stuff like using Daedons to raise certain creatures

[wicked nymph]

Makes sense. On my settings dinos grow in like 20 mins

[bronze wing]

read carefuly 😛 they mean they raised dinos without cryo when game came out so meaning no breaks

[wicked nymph]

Oh dear

Doesn't it take like a full day on official sometimes?

[long flicker]

almost 4 days for a rex

[bronze wing]

ya i only play official

[long flicker]

doesn't it take 5 for theris or smth

7 for yuties and mosas, 10 for gigas

[bronze wing]

3 or 4 i think

[wicked nymph]

stares at my giga which takes 20min

[bronze wing]

gigas like 10 or more

[plush totem]

Hi

[long flicker]

stares at my giga that takes 4 hours

[thorn spear]

If you’re entire tribe is in the same time zone, omg night shifts etc

[wicked nymph]

The game would feel more like a job at that point, wouldn't it?

[bronze wing]

tbh i couldnt raise giga properly at first but then again i hadent even raised rex when i was given my frist giga, as expected it died lol now its alright i think by adding maewing the devs really gave us a break 😛

[thorn spear]

It did, exactly that but by the point of raising you’re already invested

[sick quiver]

Well thats dedication to achieving something in the game, but unfortunately that kind of behaviour gets stomped on by the creators.

[bronze wing]

ya and a game like that imo borderlines on not being fun just another thing to takecare off like other stuff in reallife

[wicked nymph]

Makes sense, i used to enjoy that too when i had more free time. Now my game sessions can go around 3hrs per day, if lucky

I doubt that'd work for officials

[thorn spear]

Yup, thus the introduction of permanent boosted rates and cryo pods to help

[bronze wing]

wait so normal x1 is boosted rates?

ur joking right lol?

[thorn spear]

Yes greatly boosted by old standards iirc

[bronze wing]

gezz

[thorn spear]

Our 2x evo wouldn’t be regular rates now I don’t think

And we almost never got maturation events

[bronze wing]

i know i tested beta version in uni as part of project but at same time dayz etc i can understand why i never picked this game back up back then lol

[thorn spear]

Yeah I remember my first trike took hours and hours to tame. I remember it fondly but looking back, damn did I waste a large section of my weekend taming it. Just for it to die to someone with a rex a few hours later

[bronze wing]

well i do aplaud the wc for one thing though they visualized their concept regardless of all its flaws, just hope they did better job at it and kept improving it like true artists

[keen schooner]

Gotta love when your character is gone

[thorn spear]

Thank you all for the conversation btw, I didn’t see eye to eye with some of you but the talk was enlightening and fun.

[bronze wing]

well we all share the same vision 😄

dont we? 😛

[dense fern]

Ah ok

[bronze wing]

now wc u got any jobs i can fit into ?? 😭 😭 😭

[thorn spear]

At the end of the day yes I believe we do😊

[dense fern]

My friend said if I raided him he would join me on official

I tamed an equis got it to 3400 melee

Death

[bronze wing]

im sure its funnier than that? try story telling channel and like.. make a tale of it 😛

[dense fern]

Gonna cry?

[bronze wing]

mmmm it depends how u tell the story i may cry out loud 😄

[silent matrix]

.

[dense fern]

No idea bro, running on those 40-60 on ps

30 for gen 2

[wise mountain]

anyone down to play and help a new player out ?

[thorn spear]

Might have better luck in recruitment channels if you don’t find anyone here

[wise mountain]

i also posted there figured id try here its hard finding people since i dont have much experince in the game

[thorn spear]

Honestly the best thing to do at the start is a bit of research, grab yourself dododex and just try on your own. A lot of people are wary of “beach bobs” even on pve, that’s probs why no one is replying

I won’t suggest scouting YouTube again like the other day, lest I get called a 52 year old with two kids… which was a strange insult

[paper nimbus]

not too much tho. it's more fun to learn stuff on your own, i did TOO much research and as a result wasnt really able to truly experience ark

[teal zealot]

This makes 2 of us

[proud crypt]

whats happening with the smalltribes server (cant transfer and upload)

[thorn spear]

Lots of servers have issues atm, in EU

[proud crypt]

is it gonna be fixed soon?

[thorn spear]

Not sure, keep your eyes on announcements and Twitter, we only know what you know I’m afraid

[proud crypt]

me too

[manic turret]

So i just got my first Wyvern. A few questions: How the heck do you aim that beam, and does the wyvern have an air brake? It behaves like a school bus

[thorn spear]

Practice with the breath attacks, I think a crosshair comes up when you use it but I can’t remember,

[long flicker]

X

X is the break for fliers in air

[manic turret]

Oh nice and it works for wyverns too?

[long flicker]

I think so

[manic turret]

Sweet! Because until now I have to make like three passes in order to get in a proper attack position. Like a pilot trying to land on an air strip during a hurricane

[thorn spear]

Which wyvern have you got?

[wicked nymph]

Yes

[autumn crater]

Legit differs from setup to setup

[silent matrix]

well i have really shitty laptop Ryzen 5 3500U and running on Vega 8 igpu

[wicked nymph]

Oh no

[autumn crater]

Fax XD

Just mess around with your settings till it feels right

[silent matrix]

well it "kinda" feels right i can get 30fps but my view distance has to be low and it looks like crap because of all the things just loading right in front of me

[pastel hemlock]

Where can I find reaper queens in ab?

I haven't found any so far. Except for the surface

[void wasp]

why i have huge fps drop when using special attacks on blood wyvern?

[untold notch]

Hey for all u guys who do a lot of pvp how do you deal with people who have tamed dragones

[pastel hemlock]

I have a base in blue zone next to that spine that take us to where the rock drake eggs are

[subtle kraken]

Eu pve 1645 down??

[pastel hemlock]

@untold notch dragons?

[wicked nymph]

Wyverns

[untold notch]

yeah wyvrens dragons the things that fly around pick u up drop you and have bad breath

[runic ruin]

U can find them on way to the rockdrakes in the radiation zone

Look out for what looks like lil clouds of smoke randomly moving on the ground that's usually a reaper queen

[scarlet terrace]

note to self, the reaper king is unkillable

[runic ruin]

It's very killable.reapers are tough n take a hell of a kicking but they are all killable even the alphas

[scarlet terrace]

i've shot everything i got at it, and not even a hitmark

[runic ruin]

Could just be a glitchy reaper. I had 2 in radiation zone jump me once n they was invisible. My tribe mate could see em but I couldn't I almost lost my spino. Luckily for me I had a bad ass spino that even those 2 couldn't mess with but they almost won I'll give em that. Ole slapshot whooped em both in the end

[scarlet terrace]

ok

[runic ruin]

Having a light pet also helps as it weakens the reaper

[untold notch]

Love trying to cure the sickness as a low level

Fooking titan boas and shit 😆

they ate my mount....I named her betty.

WHY!!!!

[proud crypt]

u can cure it by going to scorched earth

[dense fern]

Net guns or gen 2

[untold notch]

yeah im on the island

"Island boy"

[proud crypt]

are u playing sp or os?

[untold notch]

👀 what

[proud crypt]

are u playing on singleplayer or multiplayer

?

[untold notch]

multi

official pvp

[proud crypt]

do u have scorched earth?

[untold notch]

Nope.

i got it cause it was free on ps plus

[proud crypt]

ok

just if u transfer to scorched earth the swamp fever gonna say ''i need to go''

[dense fern]

DLCs are essential

[proud crypt]

true

[dense fern]

Especially gen 2

[proud crypt]

we are doing advertise to wild card rn @dense fern

jk

[untold notch]

well I figure I would just wait for Ark 2

[dense fern]

😂

[untold notch]

vin diseal will let us play eventually

[dense fern]

Imagine seeing a sleepin vin on the beach

[untold notch]

i think ark 2 has huge potential. Here me out. What if you could pick between humans and those humanoid creatures. That would establish what side of pvp you are on. Some one send this to the devs and tell them to give me money for more ideas

[proud crypt]

im kinda depressed abt ark 2 because i bought ark 1 year ago and i am not gonna buy the next game soon cause i will not be able to afford it and everyone gonna leave the first ark

it is gonna be a good game but yeah

[untold notch]

yeah gas is too expensive now. Prices are going to keep going up now more and more.

[proud crypt]

true

still cant upload things to ark data...

[knotty garnet]

Ist JEMAND deutsch?

[proud crypt]

pls fix the problem with the eu servers i have hella good loot on me rn i cant transfer and there is an astro in front of me

[void wasp]

why my chemistry bench powered, all the resources for crafting are available, but I can't craft?

[proud crypt]

do u have the engram of what are u going to make?

[runic ruin]

Is it switched on? U dont just hook it up to a generator u also need gas in the chembench

[void wasp]

oh ok, thx

[runic ruin]

No problem. It's stupid but hey that's ark lol

[silent matrix]

umm guys I fell off a cliff and didn't die?

[proud crypt]

ok and?

[silent matrix]

shouldn't i be dead tho?

[pastel crypt]

Any suggestions? Got response from WC about character stuck on Gen2 962, they said they need screenshot of my implant to prove bosses defeated. How do I do that if I can't access my character

[silent matrix]

now im stuck down here

[proud crypt]

are u in gen two @silent matrix

[silent matrix]

no im on island

[proud crypt]

hit until ur stamina goes down and down eat ur poop and keep hitting the air so ur food gonna decrease

[silent matrix]

Ok

ty]

[pastel hemlock]

Oh fucking fuck this fucking shit.
My fucking rock drake that I just got, the one with 9k base hp just fell into the mesh.

[leaden vault]

Anyone wanna play im new to ark and wanna play and get the hang of stuff

[runic ruin]

Where was the cliff? U sure u can't get out without dying? Lol

[silent matrix]

Ye its like a big hole

idk where I was. I died now so ye

how far can your whistle work?

[silent matrix]

^^^

[lucid granite]

My cuddle interval multiplier has fucked up. I have had it set to 0.01 for the longest time and suddenly every dino needs 8 hours between cuddles again. Restarted server 3 times and tripple checked the config every time. Still 0.01 but for some stupid reason it stays at 8 hours...

Can anyone help? 🙃

[civic gust]

Sometimes i log on a server and it makes me create a new survivor. Is there a way to prevent it from happening so i dont lose my stuff?

[long flicker]

did you check with new babies each time?

[ashen bolt]

what are the settings for smalls like whats tribe limit, allie limit

[lucid granite]

Yes

[long flicker]

weird, you sure you're editing the right game.ini file?

like the game didn't just randomly start using a different save path?

[versed gale]

@placid sundial Regarding the client crash when breeding, we figured out the exact cause of the problem. The 344.3 patch removed the Love Event items. We had the "activeevent=vday" still going since we wanted to keep the event colored dinos spawning. When we switched "activeevent=Easter" the problem went away...thus the issue had to be mating dinos trying to drop box of chocolates but there was none in the game...thus the "unknown function, unknown file" The code did not account for the event items being removed but the event still being "active" because of the commandline.

[lucid granite]

I'm sure, have quintuplechecked

[long flicker]

it's this one right?
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.030000

[lucid granite]

Yep

[long flicker]

maybe something broke from the update

[ornate hamlet]

it crashes after a few seconds i start the game ._.

Does anyone have the same problem or just me?

[rugged carbon]

What mount should I use to explore the island

[long flicker]

#bobs-with-probs , and get a role so we can see which platform you play on #role-assignment

[long flicker]

flying or ground?

[rugged carbon]

ground

[long flicker]

what level are you and what do you have so far?

[rugged carbon]

I'm level 77

It's probably a dumb question because I have a spino

[long flicker]

yeah I wouldn't say much shit is better than a spino for running around on
a thyla ig?

[rugged carbon]

Ok well is it good enough to defend itself against a rex

[cursive scaffold]

yes

[rugged carbon]

Alright

[cursive scaffold]

if you go bipedal it should out damage a rex iirc

[lunar thicket]

Probably I mean I think they do more damage to insects but I haven’t played lost island yet so idk

[short otter]

hmmm

[static fjord]

i think you'd be better off with dimorphs or vultures

[cursive scaffold]

arent sino's tiny? ice queen would probably 1 shot them so you'd need a lot

[short otter]

True

But I do have good flak helmets for them all

Hi

How is everyone

Hi

[gray sage]

Will my solo world get deleted if i uninstall the game?

[rugged carbon]

I also need to know because I might switch computers

[slate widget]

should do. you can copy the save files out tho.

[rugged carbon]

where's the save file on the Xbox game pass version

on pc

[slate widget]

they should correctly save to the cloud not sure if you can backup them anymore.

[rugged carbon]

Thanks

[gray sage]

what are the files names that i should copy

[slate widget]

yeah, for some reason they changed how its saved 🤷 they don't use .ark for SP on xbox anymore which also means you can't switch between dedicated and SP/non-dedi

[slate widget]

if you see a .ark copy all of them.

in that folder

.ark is the world. while others would be survivor, tribe, etc :P

different maps will have different names to the .ark world file.

I'm level 77 and can't make those yet

Do you need polymer to make it

[vocal path]

Grind

[vocal path]

Te i thought

[proud crypt]

u can use organic polymer too

[rugged carbon]

Good

I don't know where to find obsidian

[proud crypt]

or u can tame an ichyo to have more oxigen in the sea

[vocal path]

Make a grinder

[proud crypt]

u can use organic polymer too

the numbers could be different for you tho. they aren't .ark and they should go to the cloud so not sure if you can replace them correctly 🤷

Thank you

[untold elm]

Does Gen1 have any nuts missions like space dolphin?

[cursive scaffold]

no, theyre all very repetative.

[rugged carbon]

What alpha dinosaurs can the spino take on

[untold elm]

Ah okay, some gen 2's alpha missions are almost impossible because of Ark problem
Does gen 1 have those? Like if you lag for a little wee bit then you fail

So long as gen 1 doesn't have those....then even the mission number is triple than gen 2 it's still very feasible

[cursive scaffold]

the only ones you can fail due to lag are alpha race ones i suppose

the rest are literally like "follow these tracks and kill this dino"

[untold elm]

Ah so there're races damn, i hate those as Ark will eventually get to you at some point and ruin your score when you think you're nearly finishing

[regal yarrow]

The alpha gauntlets are practically impossible for a solo

[untold elm]

Why so?

[cursive scaffold]

the only 2 races i struggled with are the alpha sabertooth (you go flying off the mountain too often) and alpha bloodstalker (i suck at their controls)

[cursive scaffold]

their damage resistance is absurd. You can cheese it with mods and stuff but yeah, i dont think solo alpha gaunlets are possible doing it a true way

[untold elm]

Ah okay doesn't seem to be as hard as Gen 2 racing with enforcer, it's one of those where if you get Arked a bit then you know instantly you will fail

[regal yarrow]

Well, with some practice, the enforcer race is actually the easiest

[untold elm]

Yeah but when you're in a populated server....

Space dolphin too, i lag a bit and then i'm in the wall.

[regal yarrow]

You can't get away from lag, but you can deal with ig

[cursive scaffold]

i used Awesome Teleporters to use dinos for gauntlets

[regal yarrow]

Luckily there are enough missions that you can completely skip the alpha gauntlets

[untold elm]

That's the problem in Gen 2, i can't skip any if i wanna get the sweet sweeet +15 lv

And for the love of god i can't clear space dolphin alpha no matter how hard i try

the difficulty gap is huge

[cursive scaffold]

i skipped uhhh beta and alpha bloodstalker race, alpha snow fishing, and i think one of the alpha gauntlets

did the rest

[celest pivot]

U just gotta spam Granada’s on the skiffs

It took me some time but after I know how to it’s ez

[civic island]

where do i spawn to get a trop wyvern

[celest pivot]

South west

The light green islands

[sick quiver]

Is there a mod or staff member available that can give me a solid answer on whether I can build near a Drop spawn or not?
It's regarding a " Cave / Sea Drop " that spawns on land on Crystal Isles with an image to show what's meant.

[regal yarrow]

You can usually build near drop spawns

They will keep spawning in on official settings

[sick quiver]

Raq, you mind if i dm you the image?

it won't be any download shenanigens dw

[desert hinge]

[desert hinge]

Ight I see it thx

[nocturne pasture]

Fuck you ark i juts lost my only giga bc it kicked me out of the sever bc they got rid of the evo event and rolled back and then now it’s not in my upload

I’ve fucking lost 4 gigas to glitches never pve or pvp

[silent matrix]

I just saw 2 alpha carnos and 6 alpha raptors in a big pack
On a beach

[nocturne pasture]

This game is so ficking stuipd

[silent matrix]

Didnt know they could spawn that way

[placid sundial]

More likely the server had the item files still and the clients don't. Item drops, clients freak out but server is fine. Try check in the server files and see if there's some chocolates and candies you can delete

[grave needle]

Is S+ known to absolutely tank graphics quality?

[cursive scaffold]

no, it uses vanilla textures. are you using any other mods with it?

[grave needle]

Im getting trolled by ark, i was getting 24fps at fully maxed out so I started reducing things to get up to mid-30s, every change I make lowers the FPS lol. I'm now getting 23 fps at medium settings with roughly 480p and I'm extremely confused lol

[grave needle]

Crystal clear, OG super spyglass, and ultimate stacks

[cursive scaffold]

theres some dino mods where the author uses 4k textures cuz they basically just straight applied a UE4 marketplace item to something and didnt optimize it and it causes everything else in ARK to look like playdough

[grave needle]

Oof lol

[cursive scaffold]

idk. S+ could have something causing the graphics to tank but its usually mods with extra dinos, unique models, etc

[regal yarrow]

When was the last time you updated graphics drivers?

[grave needle]

Couple days ago. I suspected it might be crystal clear since I'm right next to the water and it's probably trying to render the whole ocean, toggled it off, started out running at 45fps and immediately dropped back to 24

Just went into GEforce experience, there's no battery saver on or anything like that

I routinely get 40ish fps on epic/1080p, so I have no idea what's happening

[grave needle]

And this is still at medium/480p btw

[regal yarrow]

Reducing render resolution doesn't usually help fps in my experience

What map is this?

[grave needle]

Island

[regal yarrow]

Hmm

Usually unexplained fps drops are due to drivers or being on a big map

[grave needle]

I just jacked it back to 1080 to test this and it slashed me to 12fps

[regal yarrow]

Yeah I am not sure

[grave needle]

So weird, anything I touch makes the graphics worse lol

Just randomly dropped to 12 (and stayed there) while changing literally nothing, just looking at the options page???? Wtf is going on

[regal yarrow]

No clue, your mods wouldn't be the cause, and if drivers are updated

Is this single player or on a server?

[grave needle]

Single player

Restarted the game to see if it helped, it did not lol

[regal yarrow]

Maybe validate?

I don't think that'll help, but it could

[grave needle]

Yeah I'll validate and just reboot the machine, and hopefully that helps

It is super hot and the fan isn't blowing so could be that

[regal yarrow]

Other than that you might want to go to bobs with probs and wait until someone better than me comes along lol

[versed gale]

@placid sundial not likely. Patch 344.3 was a major update so client and server had the event items removed. Buggy code. With removal of event items, all functions that spawn them should have been removed or deactivated even if activeevent is on. But maybe they are starting to make it where all event items will remain and allow server operators decide how long “full-featured” events last…such as preparing for the time they stop patching Ark 1

[grave needle]

Honestly the problem is so ridiculous in nature that I doubt anybody has any clue 😂

[regal yarrow]

Eclipse might lol

[placid sundial]

an occasion people were getting this crash because ice wyvern files were incorrectly removed- removed from clients and some servers still had them. People fixed it by deleting the ice wyvern files hanging around on the server

At the least it doesn't hurt to go poking around and see

[naive geyser]

I’m so satisfied. I can finally play Aberration without it crashing my computer. Was it updated at all within the last year to fix the lag and crashing?

[versed gale]

Meh, I am done testing. Players are happy they can breed again on Gen2.

[placid sundial]

You don't want to actually fix it so you can still get the colours?

[tender remnant]

I wanna get into ark again but finding a good clan and server is so hard

[versed gale]

@grave needle what gfx card you have?

[naive geyser]

I honestly only play single player bc i have no friends who play it except for like 1

[grave needle]

Rtx 3050

[tender remnant]

Likewise, but I’d be up till early hours of the morining just grinding to when I get off and get one hours sleep for school get raided with all these OP dinos

[versed gale]

I have a fairly new PC and run it on epic with a few settings turn off such as light bloom and some other annoying feature but it runs fairly well. I think its an RTX 3060

[tender remnant]

Also quite angry I spent like 15 pounds on this game just for it to be free 4 months later on the PS store

[cursive scaffold]

ouch

it wont be free forever, i thought it was just part of the current rotation

[regal yarrow]

I have a 1660 and it runs fine on high or epic

As long as shadows are turned down

[tender remnant]

Yh it’s a ps+ game this month

[versed gale]

I play on a DS because SP stops time if game not running and Ark was designed to run all the time

[grave needle]

Yeah I normally get 40ish fps at epic/1080p with a few tweaks, which is why it's so weird I'm getting 22fps on medium/480p suddenly lol

[tender remnant]

Ahh

[versed gale]

I am not at home or I’d do a FPS to see what I get but it depends on map, what base you are at, how many dinos are in render, etc.

[ornate oar]

what shoud a price for rex saddle 104 be

[grave needle]

Fresh start single player the island, only structure on the map is a single thatch foundation

[versed gale]

Should be fairly high compared to my base on Ragnarok that I have been running for 4 years and have about 400 dinos out breeding. LoL

[ornate oar]

like what

idk what price shoud be

[regal yarrow]

Oohh, that new map in the sponsored mods announcement looks cool

[cursive scaffold]

what map?

[grave needle]

One would think 😂 I've had no trouble running epic/1080p on ab with a base full of unwanted megalos, but here we are 😂

[regal yarrow]

Where?

[ornate oar]

For a 104 rex saddle

[grave needle]

It depends on the economy of the server you're on, there is no objective value

[regal yarrow]

The Eärrion

[ornate oar]

im new to official idk what price to set

[regal yarrow]

If you ark on pvp, then I would say like 5k arb?

On pve, just be nice

[versed gale]

With the existence of Shadowmanes, Rex BPs should be worth a lot less overall

[ornate oar]

pve

[regal yarrow]

And you are selling it?

[ornate oar]

yea

[regal yarrow]

Or buying it?

[ornate oar]

selling

[regal yarrow]

If you are selling it, try and sell if for someone's Dino line

Or if you are already set up, just be nice and give it to a Bob lol

[ornate oar]

im new to offical

[versed gale]

Ewww…a bob

[ornate oar]

idk for what a dino

:((

[regal yarrow]

You have a 104 Rex saddle, is it a BP?

[versed gale]

I have highly bred DoDo line

[regal yarrow]

Lol, mean

[versed gale]

And battle sheep

Bobs tend to go offline and never come back, thus wasted gift

[regal yarrow]

If it is a crafted Rex saddle, then try and trade it for a shadowmane if you really don't have Dinos and gear

[regal yarrow]

Well, everyone starts out as a bob

[grave needle]

Eh on pve is a single saddle that's very good but not OP really worth a shadowmane

[versed gale]

Any shadowmane can be bred and mutated extremely fast compared to a Rex line…and no saddle crafting

[regal yarrow]

Even an un mutated mount would be worth, but you kind of depend on the generosity of other llayers

[ornate oar]

just a saddle

[cursive scaffold]

shadowmanes are great but rex is still useful as it ever was

[regal yarrow]

Just try and get a tame for it

[cursive scaffold]

and are far easier to tame than Shadowmane

[ornate oar]

witch one

[regal yarrow]

If it's not a BP, then most setup people won't really want or need it

[sage plaza]

Can anyone tell me what Wyvern eggs you can pick up, on ragnarok and Valguero?

[regal yarrow]

Shadowmane, mana, snow owl, griffin, wyvern

[cursive scaffold]

rag has Fire, ice, lightning, poison, val only has fire and ice

[versed gale]

You do not need to tame hundreds of shadowmanes. Babies pop out fast and raise to adults fast

[regal yarrow]

Val is only ice and fire, rag has everything except crystals

[sage plaza]

Gotcha, thanks so much

[naive geyser]

I can never find ice on rag

[cursive scaffold]

Raq, i looked at the trailer for that map, its ok. idk how i feel about all the pre-made buildings

[regal yarrow]

They aren't in a trench

[cursive scaffold]

theyre in 5 locations throughout the murdersnow

[naive geyser]

I know. But I still cant find em

[naive geyser]

Ive looked 3 times over

[cursive scaffold]

i think theres a bug cuz i rarely see the eggs too

[naive geyser]

It might be a glitch on my end

[fluid pivot]

Finally after a whole month im getting closer to having my perfect rexes

[regal yarrow]

You have too look up the exact coords of the nests, and they aren't common

[versed gale]

Rag is my favorite. And I run a cluster with all 11 official maps

[grave needle]

I've never actually seen a wyvern nest spawn legit, there are always 0 nests in the spots where they can be

[regal yarrow]

Rag never was my favorite lol

[versed gale]

High concentration of high level dinos on rag too

[naive geyser]

I can’t be the only one who just doesn’t even build a home base and just wanders the map with tames

[regal yarrow]

Ab, scorched and valguero outclass it lol

Rag is just a taming map for me

[naive geyser]

I love Aberration but jfc it gets annoying

[cursive scaffold]

last time i got an ice wyvern egg was when there was a shiny! dino ice wyvern that spawned and there happened to be an egg. I havent seen an ice wyvern egg on Rag in a looooong time

[naive geyser]

I once had a fertilized rex egg and the bird who shall not be named snatched and ate it

[versed gale]

I have outposts on all 11 maps but breeding done on Rag. Would probably be Gen2 if I started over due to world effects

[cursive scaffold]

im on an unofficial cluster with all maps too and idk if rag is my favorite but it does have my favorite places to build. Massive PVE base locations

[regal yarrow]

I honestly prefer gen2s pve build locatikns

I built a cool lake base on pillars in one of the lakes

[rancid hull]

Guys, official server crashed when I was in gen2 mission with my tames and kit and after I logged in all of my tames and stuff dissapered.
Is there a chance for gm to give that stuff back or I should even try writing to them?

[regal yarrow]

You can try, but it's not likely that they will do anythinf

Losing gear is part of ark

[silent matrix]

Is gen 1 fun in single player

[grave needle]

Some of the missions are legitimately impossible on single player, something to keep in mind

[fluid pivot]

Yeah its best to have atleast 1 other person to stick with you to do specific missions like the volcano regions alpha gauntlet mission and the basket ball missions

[opal ridge]

Where can i find another spino

?

[eternal elk]

what map?

[fluid pivot]

If on the island, look around the rivers near the volcano

If on aberration, just go around green zones rivers and if possible you could look in blue zone but blue zone is way more risky do to the leeches and barys, not to mention the crabs and nameless that can often spawn down there

[next estuary]

They’re everywhere on the rivers in the aberration fertile zone

[opal ridge]

And on the island?

[next estuary]

They share the same spawn as fish so massacring fish will make more spawn

[opal ridge]

Just the same?

[grave needle]

Start in the river directly east of craggs Island, and then follow that river all the way up and around the redwoods

[opal ridge]

Yo thanks yall

[eternal elk]

For all the spawn locations you can look at the map here https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Spino#The_Island

[opal ridge]

Yoooo thx man

[onyx parcel]

What damn

[long wren]

Anyone wanna join me on a non dedicated?

[rugged carbon]

yo can a spino with 3000 health take on 2 brontos

and also a trex

[meager geode]

If i take a explorer note and start a new game later its back?

[paper nimbus]

all at the same time? possible, but could be tough

one by one it just depends on the level of the wild ones

[regal yarrow]

Lol that's wierd

[regal yarrow]

You can pick up each explorer note once on each character

[proud crypt]

why i cant get rock drake eggs in small tribes?

[silent matrix]

What should I tame first a mammoth or megatherium

[regal yarrow]

Mammoth

They are the best wood gatherer early on

[proud crypt]

im getting rock drake eggs in a small tribes server and they are just getting removed. why?

[meager geode]

Alr i made a new one on genesis after getting one of those because it was just a tey and got it lol

[rugged carbon]

Ok so the brontos died and now i jhave a trex

[wet saffron]

can u use a summon command to spawn a Wyvern on a map that it doesn't naturally spawn? (like using the summon command to spawn it in The Island)

[shell blade]

smh not Stegos?

[silent matrix]

Best way to get a good crossbow on gen 1

[wet saffron]

chat?

[silent matrix]

Yeah

[cursive scaffold]

itll work

[wet saffron]

ok cool!

so the creatures in the DLC are programmed in the game, but cannot spawn on some map naturally, right?

[tough yarrow]

Spawn codes are here https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Wyvern

[wet saffron]

ok

[tough yarrow]

Right. You would need to add them via mod or ini configs

[wet saffron]

ini configs?

[tough yarrow]

What platform are you on?

[wet saffron]

i play ARK mobile, BUT i planned to buy it on Steam

[tough yarrow]

Oh, that changes things

You cant get wyverns on mobile

[wet saffron]

i know...

[tough yarrow]

Or mods

As long as you know

[wet saffron]

but what about ARK on steam?

[tough yarrow]

yes you can on steam

[wet saffron]

without the DLC?

[cursive scaffold]

so once you get it on steam, those console commands will work like we've been explaining. Ini is a game file that dictates how the game runs. You can edit to change things such as spawns, stack size, etc

[wet saffron]

ohh ok cool!

[tough yarrow]

Yes without the dlcs, although most things are on the free dlcs now anyway.

[wet saffron]

do u need to restart the playthrough when u play the DLC?

[tough yarrow]

No you don't have to restart with each dlc

[cursive scaffold]

no, it doesnt quite work like that. The DLC is just a separate map.

[slate widget]

besides rock drakes, titans, phoenix, shadowmane, astros, bloodstalker maybe some others all are on free maps :P

[wet saffron]

ohh

map

[slate widget]

are gachas on lost island I don't think they are.

so them too :P

[rugged carbon]

i just got my first rex :)

[wet saffron]

meaning if i have scorched earth, i can transport my creature from the desert all the way to The Island?

[tough yarrow]

Good job

[wet saffron]

right?

[cursive scaffold]

so if you purchase ARK on Steam, its just The Island, but you can get The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Crystal Isles, and Lost Island for free. Each one has different levels of paid DLC content for free.

[cursive scaffold]

yes

[slate widget]

yeah. you can upload them and download them on another map. as long as they are clustered together (SP is always clustered)

[wet saffron]

alright then!

[wet saffron]

cool!

[cursive scaffold]

you are naturally locked out of certain dinos and engrams with DLC but you can circumvent that with mods, modded maps, and console commands

but all of the DLCs have their merits so if you like the free content you'll probably enjoy paying for the DLC maps too

[slate widget]

except scorched :P which is pretty much entirely on the free maps besides the phoenix :P

[silent matrix]

I got 100 shock darts from a hlna store drop

[cursive scaffold]

people defend SE. I think Rag made SE useless but ppl wont budge

[silent matrix]

How rare is that

What should I name my new megatherium

[cursive scaffold]

i guess its rare. idk, seems like a good deal

and name it Sid

[fringe loom]

how do people make caves fully lit up? even when i turn up my gamma it is very dark

[slate widget]

scorched's terrain isn't special 🤷 Rag, crystal, and lost island all have deserts. even the boss is on some free maps isn't it? besides the phoenix and during events dodowyvern which sometimes doesn't work on other maps :P

[silent matrix]

From the same drop I got 10 extraordinary kibble too

[cursive scaffold]

torches, tek helmet, light/charge pets

[wet saffron]

is Tek item modded? or is it vanilla

[cursive scaffold]

vanilla

[slate widget]

tek is base game, but there are tek modded items like the S+ tek forge

[wet saffron]

ohhh, cool

what's the best weapon to deal torpor?

[cursive scaffold]

longneck with darts

[slate widget]

shocking darts :P

[wet saffron]

ok

btw what's ur fav mod?

[cursive scaffold]

Structures Plus probably. or Dino Storage v2

[slate widget]

I don't generally play modded :P S+ or dino storage tho.

those are quality of life mods 🤷

[wet saffron]

Annunaki Genesis, my beloved (i watch a lot of these when i was 5)

[cursive scaffold]

isnt that an overhaul?

[slate widget]

yeah.

[wet saffron]

Annunaki have some OP stuff...

[cursive scaffold]

i dunno if its updated.

[wet saffron]

btw, can i talk about ARK lore here?

[cursive scaffold]

theres a #lore-nerdz channel but yah, you can discuss it here too

[wet saffron]

ok

[regal yarrow]

I came on a bit late to the conversation, but if you are on steam, you can get all the dlc creatures without buying the dlc if you know the mods to use

[wet saffron]

The reason why ARK dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures are not scientificly accurate, according to the lore of ARK... all of them are geneticly modified creatures

[rugged carbon]

can a spino and a rex take on a titanosaur

[cursive scaffold]

no

[rugged carbon]

alright

well what can

[cursive scaffold]

another titano. A giga with a lot of health. a mek with a shoulder cannon

[slate widget]

a quetzal and a cannon on its back :P

[cursive scaffold]

if you have any creature with max melee too i suppose

[rugged carbon]

damn i dont have any of those

[cursive scaffold]

turrets can tear one up if it doesnt destroy them first

[slate widget]

can't it destroy tek? or am I thinking of something else

wiki says I'm right :P scary

[long wren]

Started a new world and within 20 minutes got a level 108 pt knocked. Someone can probs do better but that's a pretty good level

[deft junco]

How to hatch eggs?

[cursive scaffold]

thats solid for being new

[long wren]

+44 levels from tamin ayeeee

[cursive scaffold]

you need to heat them up with torches, campfire or cool them down depending on the egg. AC's and dimetrodons work too. or Egg Incubator from Gen 2

once the egg is in the just right temperature itll start to count down for the hatch

[deft junco]

Any ideas on pteranodon eggs?

[cursive scaffold]

no clue

if it says "too cold" when you drop it, just start surrounding it with standing torches

[deft junco]

Mine just decompose countdown when egg drops on the ground

Eggs are not wild eggs

[grave needle]

Are they fertilized or regular eggs

[silent matrix]

Got a 193 magmasaur saddle

Now all I need is a magmasaur

What's a good tame to steal the volcano eggs

[regal yarrow]

Bloodstalker on gen1

[echo mist]

Procop

[regal yarrow]

They are easy to get with a maewing on lost island

[silent matrix]

Alr

What level bloodstalker

[regal yarrow]

Doesn't matter, you don't fight stuff, just grab it and run

[silent matrix]

Alr

Anyway to get better armor on a bloodstalker

[orchid quail]

I literally cannot find a single populated unofficial sever. All the official servers are dead yet it says there are 30k players on Ark. dead game

[grave needle]

Top 10 most popular game on earth rn but whatever you need to tell yourself

[orchid quail]

Dawg, I love Ark but the game is literally dead on Steam and Epic. Like there isn’t a single sever with a population higher than 9 people out of 3k unofficial servers. Plus there’s only like 20 official servers with an active population and the highest populated official server is only 52 people

[grave needle]

Nope, it's not dead on steam lol

The game isn't meant to be played with 50 people on a server, 9 is a very nice amount

Official has always been the dumbest way to play the game and that's why it's dead

15th most popular game on steam rn. The facts do not bear out that it's a dead game lmao.

[orchid quail]

OMFG

Dude, 2 years ago every sever had 90-150 players on it

[unborn wagon]

server cap is literally 70 tho

[grave needle]

Official servers

[orchid quail]

Now it is 💀

[grave needle]

Which, again, was always the dumbest way to play the game

[unborn wagon]

I played official PVP 2-3 years ago and I definitely remember the flooding and capping of servers

[orchid quail]

Unofficial servers are dead, official is the only way to play now

[grave needle]

That's the exact opposite of reality, but you don't like facts so I'm not gonna bother lol

[orchid quail]

Yes, there isn’t a single capped sever now. Idk how this game has 30k people on it rn even though all the servers are dead. By the looks of it there’s prolly only 500 players on Ark rn

[grave needle]

There's actually 30k as you know

[orchid quail]

Dude, I’ve been playin Ark for 6 years now. A populated server back before was like 70-100 players, now I can’t find a server with a pop higher than 30

The game is just dead now, people are waiting for Ark 2.

[grave needle]

30k players. 15th most popular game on steam. It's not dead, you don't get to have an opinion about it

[regal yarrow]

Lol, look at salty ark, or mts, or elite ark

[grave needle]

Fact is, tons of people play

[regal yarrow]

They are very popular

[orchid quail]

I cannot find any servers now

[regal yarrow]

There are 50k daily people playing ark on steam

[grave needle]

He just showed you some

Since when can we not swear here lmao

[regal yarrow]

Official is kind of dead, but steam ark is still very much alive

[orchid quail]

Ik it says 30k people on Ark but I CANNOT find a populated server. Out of 3k unofficial SEVERS I could only find like 9 servers with players on it with 8-9 people per server

[grave needle]

He just showed you some

[orchid quail]

I hate official with a passion but Unofficial is dead

[grave needle]

Will you acknowledge the facts before you, or will you continue to insist the lie that is your belief lol

[regal yarrow]

You just need to find the right unofficial

[orchid quail]

Dude, what “facts” are you talking about. I sorted the unofficial servers from Most populated to Least populated. I let all the servers load and out of 3k servers there were only like 9. I understand that he just told me some servers but they are private servers.

[grave needle]

Are you including password protected servers in your search? A lot of them are private communities

Lmao yeah there it is

[orchid quail]

I include everything

Still only 9 servers

[regal yarrow]

You realize that sorting them doesn't show all of them

[grave needle]

You just said they're private servers like that means they don't count

[long wren]

👀

[grave needle]

People pay for these things, all the good established ones are private

[orchid quail]

Even un-sorted, I could only find like 9 servers

[orchid quail]

And cost money

To join

[long wren]

No it doesnt...?

[grave needle]

So yeah, when you remove all the good established servers it turns out there are no good established servers. Real astute

[orchid quail]

Usually has a Patreon where it costs like $5 to get the password

[long wren]

Oh those are the ones with the scummy owners who don't care about the community they have

Gladly not all are like that

[orchid quail]

Dawg 💀, I ain’t removin shit. I’ve played for 6 years and I know what populated Ark is, I know how this shit works. I’ve prolly played longer than you’ve had a PC. The servers are dead

[grave needle]

All these facts that show they arent

[orchid quail]

What facts, jus cause you said some shit don’t mean anything

[grave needle]

30k concurrent players, top 15 on steam

Facts.

[long wren]

Imagine arguing. Couldn't be me 💀

[orchid quail]

Idc abt players, there are no populated servers 💀

[regal yarrow]

Have you never played ark lol, you don't need to pay to play unofficial
S

[long wren]

(Joke)

[grave needle]

Population turns out to mean people

[orchid quail]

You need to pay to play private servers

[grave needle]

Nope, you don't

[orchid quail]

Most

[grave needle]

Some do but not all

Very few

I've played on dozens of password protected unofficial servers and never once spent a dime

[orchid quail]

Dude, when will you understand that ARK SERVERS are dead. People may be on the game but the official AND unofficial servers are dead. People are NOT playing them and there are no populated servers

[grave needle]

Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true

[orchid quail]

30k people but all the servers are empty

[grave needle]

Yeah they aren't but ok, keep whining

Just quit if you don't like it anymore, nobody cares to stop you

[orchid quail]

Dawg 💀

[long wren]

I'm just silently watching cuz ark is taking 20 years to load

[orchid quail]

I ain’t whining for shit. I love Ark and it’s one of my most beloved games but the state it is in rn is awful. There are no good servers. I’m being brutally honest. I have maybe a few thousands hours over 6 years of playing the game and I have never seen it this dry before

[orchid quail]

I love Ark, I came back to play it only to find the servers are empty

I don’t wanna quit but it’s unplayable

[grave needle]

The many thousands of people playing on servers as we speak might be shocked to learn that none of them exist, but ok

[regal yarrow]

Lol, I think you just don't look where people are

[orchid quail]

Dude, I’m looking at the player count rn. There are 30k people on, I get that, but I am still unable to find any populated servers bruh 💀. Like I ain’t makin this shit up. The games dead

I’m not hating on Ark, I love the game so much but I’m just being honest

[grave needle]

"There are 30k people on" "the games dead"

[orchid quail]

The servers are empty dude

[regal yarrow]

The search doesn't work that well, so judging the game based on that is kind of dumb

[grave needle]

I for one am shocked the person who, in the same breath, says 30 thousand people playing means the game is dead, is being kind of dumb

[regal yarrow]

Like don't mean to be rude, but your claims aren't true

[orchid quail]

What do you not understand, ion know if it’s a glitch or something but the servers are empty. It’s sad to see the game like this but it’s true. You just gotta accept the fact that the games dying. 9 people on a server is awful. 70 people on a server used to be normal, now there aren’t any servers above 30

[orchid quail]

Mine?

[regal yarrow]

Yup

[grave needle]

What do you not understand, thirty thousand people are playing right now

Just because you can't find a server you like does not mean they don't exist

[orchid quail]

I’m not playin bruh, like it’s so weird. I actually don’t know why it says 30k people on the server. I lookin through all the servers and can’t find any populated ones. I’m guessing all the servers have an average populated of 1-9 players per server. Otherwise idk why there’s 30k people on the game while all the servers are empty

[grave needle]

And considering the demonstrable facts are that they do, you might want to consider that you're making an ass of yourself right now

[regal yarrow]

Claiming official is dying would be true. Claiming ark is dead is not true at all

[grave needle]

When facts are inconsistent with your belief, that means your belief is wrong, not that the facts are wrong

[orchid quail]

What am I going to do if I can’t find a server 💀. Like I cannot play the game. The servers are empty. What you want me to do? Play on an empty server? I wanna play the game but all the servers are empty

[grave needle]

Learn how to find a server

Your entire premise is false

[orchid quail]

Ark is dead is more of an exaggerated statement, I’m trying to say there are barley and servers on Ark with people on it

[orchid quail]

I know how to find a server, I’ve played for 6 years.

[grave needle]

Yeah evidently that's going great for you

[silent matrix]

Bruh my mammoth sucks at harvesting wood it gets less than a 100 per tree

[orchid quail]

I’m sorry man, I love Ark but the server are empty now. Nobody to play with cause all the servers have like 9 people on it

[silent matrix]

what animals drop mutton

[grave needle]

Nope. They aren't. You're just wrong

[grave needle]

Ovis

[regal yarrow]

Again not true, salty ark has an average of like 120 players all the time for one

[silent matrix]

ok

[silent matrix]

where does the ovis spawn at

[regal yarrow]

Mts usually has more

[regal yarrow]

Valguero white cliffs is the best place

[orchid quail]

Whatever man, if I find a good server I’ll lyk.

[regal yarrow]

I'm telling you lol

[silent matrix]

ok

[silent matrix]

Generally snow biomes and redwoods

In val they spawn in chalk hills tho

[regal yarrow]

If you are expecting to find capped servers 24/7 then go play warzone lol, people have lives, but ark is not dead

[silent matrix]

@orchid quail join a rat prime unofficial they have capped servers constantly

[regal yarrow]

Not every unofficial will have loads of people, but there are loads that do

[silent matrix]

what are good places it spawns in the lost island map

[regal yarrow]

The plains with the maewinf

[silent matrix]

ok

thanks

[rugged carbon]

why does ark survival mobile crash when I open

I haven't even played it

[paper nimbus]

it just does that sometimes

[grave needle]

It takes a high end phone to run

[rugged carbon]

I have a Google pixel 6

Is that not good enough or something

[grave needle]

Known issue that it doesn't run on pixel 6

Not compatible with android 12 yet

[cursive scaffold]

i play it just fine on my white iphone 4s

[paper nimbus]

i run it pretty okay on an iPad

[silent matrix]

I'm setting up in snow gen 1 what do I need before I go to the swamp for blood stalkers

[paper nimbus]

tons upon tons of blood packs if you're looking to tame one

[silent matrix]

Alr what tame should I bring and what gear

[misty turtle]

You should have some tamed for bloodstalker to kill to increa the effect taming

[low canyon]

why do dilos sometimes run away on you aggroing it

glitched or intended

[silent matrix]

So on gen 1 are magmasaur essential for metal runs

[torpid hemlock]

@long flicker hey bob, sorry for the ping, but there's a level 20 yuty in the area around my base. Should i tame it or kill it

[torpid hemlock]

Not necessary, but very very handy

[silent matrix]

I'm in bog but I ain't seeing any bloodstalkers on the trees

[regal yarrow]

They aren't super common

Youll have to look for a bit until you see them

[placid sundial]

They only spawn in the centre of the bog so make sure you're looking there. The big stone platforms tend to have a lot iirc

[stiff lava]

I am running my dedicated server for myself and a few friends via ASM, I have done this before and had no issues, now when I launch it is saying server not responding for everyone else

[tough yarrow]

@versed trench you can grab the steam role at #role-assignment to access the #735196255483068497 channel for steam lfg. Use #735196277221883964 for Playstation lfg.

You need people to farm megalania venom for you?

Took me like
15 min to get all I needed for alpha

[long flicker]

ye but on servers farming can be harder if someone else gets the shit before you

[wispy frigate]

True, but don’t dinos respawn a lot quicker on server caves

[pliant locust]

I honestly just breed megalania and take the venom from the babies, and let them starve lol.
Such an easy way and independent to get any amount you need easily / overtime

[iron geyser]

[torpid hemlock]

@long flicker hey sorry for the ping but the genesis pass was 10.49$ in front of me on steam, i added steam funds to try and buy it and now it's up to 30$? wtf?

[wicked nymph]

This price is wrong doh. In euros it is 25

Oh forgot to ask. Steam?

[long flicker]

I went to Turkey last year and got the whole game for 7 dollars. Steam games are extraordinarily cheap there for some reason . Like I even got rdr 2 for 25 bucks and lots of other games. All on sale of course. The witcher 3 WH was like 3 bucks.

[torpid hemlock]

bruh i payed 60$ for rdr 2

wtf
