[regal yarrow]

Just come over to steam

[silent matrix]

My pc is super shit

[spring cargo]

Imagine aiming with a controller

[grave needle]

There are some really great gaming laptops for the price these days

[regal yarrow]

The lines are better and the sweats are nuts

[burnt cradle]

Ps4 is really trash on ark but tbf i had the most fun in ark on it

[grave needle]

Mine has an RTX 3050, it's not as hard to get into pc gaming as it used to be

[silent matrix]

And I would definitely need to play a controller

[static fjord]

yeah, you need 2 sensitivity for that pinpoint accuracy

[regal yarrow]

Lol, what

[burnt cradle]

Thats a torture, please connect a keyboard on ur ps

[spring cargo]

After playing pc I just can’t play console games with a controller

[silent matrix]

I always played on consoles

[regal yarrow]

If you play controller ark you will get outclassed every time

[spring cargo]

I feel way too slow

[grave needle]

How is it even possible to play ark with a controller

[silent matrix]

But probably will not get used

[grave needle]

There's like 42 different functions you need

[static fjord]

yeah its stupid

[spring cargo]

Yeah especially on pvp, steam version, you just will not be able to keep up with a controller

[burnt cradle]

I used to think the same, but trust me just do it

[static fjord]

take the bloodstalker for example, the glide is the same button you use to go in and out of third person

[silent matrix]

Sometimes I ask the same to myself lol

[static fjord]

either the buttons just dont exist, theyre some weird combinations like gigantopithecus shoulder pet grab or they overlap with other controls

[spring cargo]

Mouse will always be faster than controller

[grave needle]

Whistling must be a nightmare lol

[silent matrix]

I tried on PUBG and was ridiculously bad playing it with the keyboard

[silent matrix]

That's true

[static fjord]

whistling isnt that bad.

[regal yarrow]

Takes practice

[short bloom]

what is the soul ball mod syntac uses called in the workshop?

[static fjord]

dino storage v2

[spring cargo]

Dino storage v2

[short bloom]

thanks

[burnt cradle]

You are just not used to it, play for like 1 week n you will not want to get back to controller lol

[regal yarrow]

On cod controller is better because of the broken aim assist, but since ark doesn't have aim assist, mouse and keyboard is always better

[silent matrix]

I played PUBG like for 2 weeks or more I get used but always feel that everyone was better than me

[spring cargo]

Yeah games with aim assist can be viable with controller

[static fjord]

trying to beat star dolphin on alpha with a controller broke my bones

[spring cargo]

I wish we had more gyroscope aiming for pc controllers

[silent matrix]

Yes even the tournaments were on Playstation not pc

[spring cargo]

That’d make it so much better

[static fjord]

literally the entire time you need to be holding RT to get the seeking missiles, the lasers are so inaccurate on controller

[burnt cradle]

Try on ark

[static fjord]

you try and hit something 2 cm above your crosshair and you do a full 360.

[regal yarrow]

Even in cod though long range fights are better with mouse and keyboard

[pliant locust]

I almost got arthritis from doing it with a mouse (it’s the one where you have to guard an Astro right ?
I’ll never ever do that again without an auto clicker, this is absurd

[static fjord]

yeah

[silent matrix]

Even sometimes just running on Ark can be super annoying bugging all the time because of the analog

[static fjord]

i had to do it several times, my palms were so sweaty once i finally won.

even just getting enough points without accidently crashing into walls was hard enough but the rockwell fight was just no.

[silent matrix]

Need to be a gaming pc

[short bloom]

how do i increase hatchery storage to what syntac has it at?

[burnt cradle]

Nah, you can connect a keyboard to play ark on ps

[pliant locust]

I did it solo first and then later on beta with a friend. I think I clicked at least 1 k times, or more.
This mission is the absolute worst (beside races on the laggy and rubberbanding Gen2 lmao)

[silent matrix]

Ohh yeah that's true

[static fjord]

even though i'd never want to do it again, i enjoyed alpha star dolphin

[silent matrix]

But I would need to practice on a single player session

[static fjord]

its fun and for once the time limit isnt the thihg thats stopping you from winning

[silent matrix]

With the keyboard

[regal yarrow]

Probably best to ask on syntac discord. Not many people here play with his rates or settings

[burnt cradle]

I see

[short bloom]

k

[static fjord]

doesnt he add his rates into the ep 1 of his series? like has an excel sheet or somethint

[silent matrix]

Don't have the balls to use right away on pvp server god damn that can be a disaster lol

[regal yarrow]

I think he used to

[burnt cradle]

Fair lol

[regal yarrow]

I don't really pay attention to his videos anymore

[static fjord]

neither do i but i like his videos as background noise, i guess you can take that as an insult though

[regal yarrow]

After ultimate ark extinction his videos just got terrible lol

His 100 days was probably the best on YouTube though

[static fjord]

i never enjoyed his ultimate ark series and i only somewhat enjoyed the cluster and dlc gameplay. I feel like i enjoy his commentary more than his actual gameplay

[silent matrix]

I prefer nooble

[grave needle]

Hard to blame him, gen 1 doesn't make for good viewing

[silent matrix]

He explains so much things mainly taming methods

Nooble

[viral plover]

hi guys

[static fjord]

you can make it good enough if you dont add missions into every video and keep it off cam.

[regal yarrow]

His ark for dummys is phenomenal, he just needs to do more of them

[viral plover]

can someone help me

[grave needle]

True but then it'd be like 4 hours in total lol

[static fjord]

4 hours in total for what?

[burnt cradle]

In what?

[grave needle]

The rest of the gameplay

Missions are kinda the point of the map

[viral plover]

I'm trying to play modded ark with my friend, but he opened the server, I can't enter

[regal yarrow]

The reason his Gen1 ua is bad is because he doesn't like it. If he did he could make commentary on it and it could be good

[static fjord]

thats true but i think you could do a lot more with gen 1 if you dont transfer a bunch of stuff in and basically start from end game, because at that point its just missions

[regal yarrow]

You have a point

But doing the missions without a giga is practically impossible lol

[burnt cradle]

I never played non dedi so idk, but post that on #bobs-with-probs

[static fjord]

like personally i dont enjoy when he just transfers in some of his op stuff from the previous maps because i feel like it removes the early and mid game appeal

[static fjord]

well no not really, you can get by most with a basilisk

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, I am doing kind of the same sort of thing as him, but I setup unlocks to get creatures

[grave needle]

Thats what he did with extinction

[regal yarrow]

Like I have to beat alpha moeder before I get my extinction gifas

[static fjord]

granted if you mean the protect ones then yeah i'd say you kinda need the giga for alpha ones

[silent matrix]

Guys is it worth it to clone dinos????

[grave needle]

Imo only ones you can't breed

[burnt cradle]

Depends

[static fjord]

but as soon as he spawned into volcano and started at level 140 or something with a rex then i just left.

[burnt cradle]

Def worth it cloning low lvl gigas for breed

[silent matrix]

The question for 1 million dollars😜

[burnt cradle]

Female ofc

[silent matrix]

Yeah we just need use element 🤮

[grave needle]

Why not just breed more of them

[silent matrix]

Takes weeks

Days

[long wren]

Bruh I was boutta play with someone and just cuz I couldn't vc they blocked me

[static fjord]

always clone your basilisks.

[silent matrix]

On smalls

[grave needle]

If they're breeders you don't need to worry about the imprint

[burnt cradle]

Im talking about insane amounts of gigas, not a couple

[silent matrix]

We still need tame that

[static fjord]

there are nightmare stories from when people fell into an alpha hunt mission with their basilisk and died within seconds.

not even the bury will save you

[silent matrix]

On Gen1 you have a basilisk spawn location so we definitely gonna tame that

[burnt cradle]

If you dont clone, ppl will get better stats on giga

Karks also def worth cloning if you have a crouch base spot or something like that

[static fjord]

karkinos users are based.

[silent matrix]

I mean we have tek skiff

Just to trade

Maybe

[burnt cradle]

You gon put a skiff inside your deathwall?

[static fjord]

you could always kill them for organic polymer once theyre useless

[burnt cradle]

Also of they have a tek rifle your skiff you get merched in a couple secs

[silent matrix]

Yes with a moshops

[burnt cradle]

Best counter for stego

[static fjord]

i think if someone finds your skiff or karkinos with a tek rifle then youre screwed regardless.

[burnt cradle]

Nop, karks with good saddles n high hp tank a lottt

[grave needle]

But they're so sloooow

[burnt cradle]

But you are inside your deathwall anyway, no need to be fast

[silent matrix]

They are good to just throw stuff lol

[burnt cradle]

You are just campering the crouch

[static fjord]

but if they can damage your karkinos i assume they have quite a bit of time to rip it to shreds with a tek rifle before you get it to safety

[burnt cradle]

Wht, best defenders for ice cave as an example

[burnt cradle]

Nah they dont unless you suck at building deathwalls

[static fjord]

then how are you losing your skiff.

[burnt cradle]

If you grapplr a stego with a guy inside having a tek rifle what you think is gonna happen?

Did you ever defended a base with a kark?

[static fjord]

i dont know when we started talking about stegod

i thought we were talking about whether or not a skiff or karkinos would survive a tek rifle

[burnt cradle]

A skiff gets destroyed by tek rifle in 5 secs, a kark with 90 per cent saddle n 40k hp will tank for days

Also you can just railgun the skiff through the wall lol

[orchid gulch]

i am very pissed that theres just a lil ol' bird chilling a short hike from spawn thats as strong as a t-motherfuckin-rex

[static fjord]

solid point

[burnt cradle]

Ngl its satisfying

[grave needle]

Lmao why do I have the worst luck with post-tame levels, wild 32 melee tamed up to 38 😐

[violet merlin]

Lmao

[regal yarrow]

Rip

[grave needle]

But somehow its wild 20 health also became 38 😐lmao

[orchid gulch]

why is a therizinosaurus so fucking good at making my trike dead

[static fjord]

they have sharp nails

[orchid gulch]

i wanted to see its name

unfortunately, that made me dead

[noble cobalt]

I cant find any beehives on the island. Yes I am in the red woods, have be looking for about an hour now.

[regal yarrow]

Keep looking I guess lol

[orchid gulch]

how do i make my dodos make an egg

they both have hearts above their heads

they seem pink

not red

[noble cobalt]

hold e click behavor enable mating

on both

[orchid gulch]

it is

[noble cobalt]

is one female the other male?

[regal yarrow]

That's a matebooste

They both have to have mating enabled

[orchid gulch]

they both have mating enabled

yes one female and one male

[verbal saddle]

No Evo event this weekend?

[orchid gulch]

they aint- fucking

[vale terrace]

any of them neuter ? or you are tame capped on server

[orchid gulch]

they both have bits

3 tamed creatures- singleplayer

idk man theyre next to each other and have hearts but aint fuckin

no egg

google says i just wait for them to shit one out

[tough yarrow]

They probably are mating, it could just be bugged. Are they the same variant?

[orchid gulch]

yoooo it shat out an egg

that took an excessively long time

[violet merlin]

For some reason the dino storage mod doesn’t always pick up my babies when they finish gestating

[tough yarrow]

Did you change the radius? It's only happened to me if they're outside of it

[safe mist]

did you turn on the settings?

[violet merlin]

I did turn on the setting and set the radius to max

[safe mist]

show the range they may be outside of it

[hard roost]

try picking it up and placing it again. that fixes it for me when i got this bug

[tough yarrow]

Could have just hatched too many at once and it lagged a little and missed one

[tough yarrow]

This too

[safe mist]

yep lol

[violet merlin]

How do I view the field ?

[untold notch]

so as long as raptor eggs are in a hot environment they will hatch?

[violet merlin]

How do you enable breeding inside the soul terminal for adults?

[tough yarrow]

Enable it in the gus.ini under the dsv2 header

[regal yarrow]

Do you have enough soul balls in it?

[tough yarrow]

Mod page should have the info

[violet merlin]

I’ve got 8000 lol

[safe mist]

is that really a thing for that mod??

[violet merlin]

Yea

[safe mist]

i never knew that and i've been using that mod since it came out

[regal yarrow]

Try turning it off and back on again, sometimes that works

[violet merlin]

Aight I fixed it

I wish I could make the radius larger but it’s max 15

[safe mist]

are you sure?? the mod page says its not possible

[tough yarrow]

There's a fertilized egg pickup thing

That's totally what I was talking about

[safe mist]

oh

[tough yarrow]

I got the soul terminal and the propegator mixed up

[safe mist]

i'm sitting here questioning my mind on the knowledge i have for this mod now lol

[tough yarrow]

I'm sorry lmao

I play with dsv2 and s+

[safe mist]

i do too as well

i've never messed around with the propegator

i don't know if SS has it either, probably since its a clean copy of S+

ugh i'm torn now, i want to play elite dangerous but now i also want to play ark just from the conversation in here lol

well darn, ark it is, and i thought ark had a learning curve but dang

[untold notch]

thanks

[urban path]

is a evo event coming on official?

[regal yarrow]

Well, if you watch youtubers ark doesnt have a huge curve. Unless you are playing pvp, but if you play pvp the learning curve is so bad taht even with 1k hours in pvp youll still be a bob lol

[orchid gulch]

how do i start an irrigation network?

does a vertical pipe in water work?

[regal yarrow]

You need the intake

[safe mist]

i've played pvp and pve, i have well over enough hours of the game entirely that i know it by heart but comparing the learning curve to another game i play and i don't have nearly enough hours into it like i do ark lol its extremely difficult

[brazen yarrow]

4x started yet?

[safe mist]

don't they usually announce it with a community crunch and usually before late evening?

[orchid gulch]

does a water tap water things in a radius?

[vestal mesa]

I too am looking for an evo event announcement.

[tough yarrow]

@vestal mesa the community crunch should come out in a couple hours or so, keep an eye on #announcements

[gilded ridge]

any chance of 220 aberration coming back up in the near future? it's been down for hours and i've filled out the server crash report but feels like they just end up in the bin unread by default.

[normal glade]

Algum BR?

[regal yarrow]

If you put on the report, then they are probably going to get around to it at some point

[regal yarrow]

I don't speak portugués jaja

[pure meteor]

Hey uh I need someone to help me. I've recently got ark and this is my second time playing singleplayer. I know most of the basics since i had a friend to help me learn but I have recently found a level 5 male rex. I'm level 22 and it 2 hits me, im just wondering about how many tranq arrows I would need to knock it out. Or could I use a slingshot?

Map is ragnarok if that helps

[silent matrix]

I find it funny that ark maps go from oh cool dino survival on a stranded island to oh cool desert survival to oh shit radiation invisible creatures and a whole new type of already seen creatures

[eager loom]

dododex, gives you good info on taming

[pure meteor]

oh ok! thank you

[silent matrix]

13 crossbow shots with Tranq arrows

[pure meteor]

only 13?

[silent matrix]

Level 5 creatures have like no torpidity

[pure meteor]

wow ok lmao i suspected way more

[pure meteor]

I suppose I got lucky with that then

[silent matrix]

For a 100 percent damage crossbow on a 150 it'd be around 100

Level is important with creatures can almost garuntee it's not gonna have any stats at all on the rex

[pure meteor]

so uh.. would it help to level it up?

or would it always be bad

[silent matrix]

It will be meh after max level

[nocturne elm]

Do I do official or unofficial?

[pure meteor]

thats better then nothing

Aren't rexs fairly rare too? I've never seen one in game other then now. but tbh i havent played ark long at all

[silent matrix]

Yeah better to find a rex over 100 if max difficulty isn't enabled 130 if it is

[silent matrix]

Not really

[pure meteor]

eh. well the only other dino i have is a megalosaurus so it'll help me heaps

Thank you for the help anyways. I'll start getting supplies

wait, im sorry to bother you again @silent matrix but I just have one last question. If I'm using a bow to shoot tranq arrows at the rex- roughly how many will i need. It doesnt need to be exact I just want to make sure I dont miss my chances of getting it by coming with too little arrows

Since I dont currently have a crossbow

[grave needle]

It depends on the level of the rex and the quality of your bow

[pure meteor]

its level 5

Im level 22

[grave needle]

Yeah sorry, just scrolled up and saw. For a level 5 rex with a 100% bow and tranq arrows, it'll take 22

[pure meteor]

how do i know the quality of my bow..? sorry i dont really know any of this stuff. I literally joined 2 days ago lmao But i know most of the basics

[grave needle]

You can hover over it in your inventory and look for weapon damage %. If you crafted it from the basic engram, it's 100%

[pure meteor]

hmm ok. thank you for the help

[silent matrix]

Highlight it and it will say bow damage percent and durability

[pure meteor]

do you think the rex will flee once ive shot it a certain amount of times?

[grave needle]

Yes

[silent matrix]

Yeah but they aren't fast

[grave needle]

They're slow enough that you can chase it down, just don't let it KO underwater

[normal shard]

lord can someone help me with installing ark on epic games if yes pls dm me....

[pure meteor]

aa ok. that makes things slightly more difficult since the area its in is completely surrounded by lakes and waterfalls

[silent matrix]

What are the odds out of 8 rock drake eggs they are all females

[grave needle]

If it starts heading for water, run to the edge of the water where it's heading. It'll turn back inland to run away from you

[pure meteor]

are you certain it wont turn on me once i start chasing it on foot?

[normal shard]

lord can someone help me with installing ark on epic games if yes pls dm me....

[silent matrix]

If it's torpor is low enough it won't rexes torpor takes about half an hour to drain to zero

[grave needle]

Once it hits a certain torpor it just wants to get away from you. Keep shooting while you're chasing though, if it drops back below the threshold it'll aggro again

[normal shard]

lord can someone help me with installing ark on epic games if yes pls dm me....

[pure meteor]

eeh ok. i'll try my best with it then. im sorry for the stream of questions by the way but i just want to learn as much as i can before going to go and get it. And can they outrun you on foot? I think my speed is at 103%

[placid sundial]

if someone can help you, they will. there's no need to spam.

try in #bobs-with-probs and wait for answer.

[normal shard]

ok.....

stg epic games is so poorly fucking optimized

[grave needle]

Don't worry at all, that's what we're here for! And yeah, base human sprint speed is considerably faster than rexes (not alpha rexes though)

[normal shard]

i can't with this shit

[grave needle]

Just be aware the rex saddle isn't unlocked until level 74 so you won't be able to ride it for a while

[pure meteor]

oh ok! thats good to know

[pure meteor]

I guessed so. But I dont mind if im honest, ill be able to level up its stats in that time

[grave needle]

Yeah it'll be a very nice bodyguard in the meantime

[pure meteor]

yep! especially with the fact I still need to explore 95% of the map. do you have any tips for when i do get my rex? like what stats i should level up first, ect

[grave needle]

Health and Melee are the only things to worry about. I'd advise focusing on melee at first which will help it level up faster

[supple lily]

why can’t i download dlc that it says i don’t have.. i’ve tried to download them but there’s no option for that (playstation)

[pure meteor]

sure thing! and should i bring my megalosaurus for the journey? The rex is a bit far down a beach until you reach the forest area it was in. my megalosarus isnt that fast or strong though and im not that keen to bring him

[silent matrix]

Yeah u need like 150 to outrun a rex

[silent matrix]

What level is your Megalosaurus

[floral storm]

my lvl 145 magmasaur hatched, im the god of genesis now

[regal yarrow]

Lol, with a magmasuar?

[pure meteor]

I think he's like 24?

sorry 28

[silent matrix]

U on Ragnarok?

[floral storm]

yes?

[pure meteor]

yea

[floral storm]

what you got against magmasaurs

[silent matrix]

Damn did you run Megalosaurus cave to get one?

[regal yarrow]

Nothing, they are just a metal gatherer

[floral storm]

im on sp

literally no dino can hurt me now

[pure meteor]

Megalosaurus cave..? Nope never heard of it. he was just on the starter beach where i spawned. I managed to slingshot him until he fainted at level like 10?

or what

yea around that level

[silent matrix]

Fair enough I forgot they spawned at viking bay

[floral storm]

dont talk to my son that way

[silent matrix]

At night time Megalosaurus get a buff that makes them way better than rexes

[pure meteor]

really? what is it?

[regal yarrow]

He'll get chomped on by a Spino and die

[regal yarrow]

Nighttime

[floral storm]

no he wont

[silent matrix]

Just a strength buff and a damage reduction at night

[pure meteor]

oooh thats fantastic

[floral storm]

if the spino is like lvl 130+

[pure meteor]

also i managed to get 30 tranq arrows. will that be enough for this rex?

[floral storm]

dododex.com

[silent matrix]

He will my level 230 got killed by a group of like level 50 spinos

[floral storm]

SHUSHHHHHH

[silent matrix]

30 should be enough for a level 5

[floral storm]

HE WONT

[pure meteor]

alrighty! thank you for the help. I'll let you know how it goes

[floral storm]

dododex tells you the amount of food needed, narcotics, tranq (anything), etc

[silent matrix]

@pure meteor on aberration taming shit is a million times harder beware for later

[pure meteor]

I know. but i just perfer direct answers from people since it helps me understand it a bit better since im new

[floral storm]

ah ok, what level is the rex

[pure meteor]

its level 5

[floral storm]

and are you firing it out of a bow or crossbow

[pure meteor]

im bringing 30 tranq arrows and a bow for it

[pliant locust]

If you don’t miss arrows that should defo do it with an xbow

[regal yarrow]

Why do you want a level 5 Rex?

[floral storm]

i think that will be enough, i would suggest a crossbow

[floral storm]

cause its a rex?

[pure meteor]

well i only have one other dino right now so it'll help me build up

[regal yarrow]

But a 5 isn't worth it

[floral storm]

it might not be a high level, but it will be really good early game

[silent matrix]

Tbh ur megalo is way better

[regal yarrow]

Kill if for the prime and find a higher level carno

[silent matrix]

Work on getting a trike and a pteranadon

[floral storm]

can you just like let people play the game how they want :/

[pure meteor]

yeah lol probably but i still want one. rexs look awesome and i want to tame some cool dinos without worrying about how weak they are

[silent matrix]

Fair enough main reason I tame reapers

[slate widget]

its not like ark is a sandbox game or something :P

[floral storm]

nono, not at all

[pure meteor]

?

[slate widget]

yora writing an essay :P

[floral storm]

book*

[pliant locust]

Don’t rush the meta, I still miss the days when I tamed like a lvl 20 Rex on legacy and couldn’t use it for 2 weeks until I was high enough to craft a saddle, those was the most fun I had in ark, in hindsight.

Just play and explore as you see fit / fun 🙂

[floral storm]

thank you, so many ark players dont seem to get that

[pliant locust]

No but my auto correct fights my drunken fingers for the worst possible word combo 😶😭

[slate widget]

I remember doing that. 🥲

[grave needle]

We're all spoiled by efficiency lmao, any of us would love to experience taming our first rex again

[slate widget]

got an albino rex and just let it sit there because I couldn't use it :P

[silent matrix]

My fav memories on ark was accidentally punching a bronto and running for my life

[pure meteor]

theres albino dinos..?

[floral storm]

just experienced it a few days ago, i got it a while ago but never got around to playing, tamed a lvl 17 rex, i felt like a god

[pliant locust]

I actually had two rafts dedicated for transport of dinos, with multi level platform / one with a big platform that had foundations snapped under ceilings, fairing them around, I really miss that 😂

[slate widget]

some dinos can spawn wild as all white :P

[pure meteor]

oh wowww

could you get an albino wyvern or something??

[slate widget]

ice wyverns maybe

[pure meteor]

theres ice wyverns??

[slate widget]

otherwise you'd have to get one having event colors or mutations

[floral storm]

mine was when i was just vibing at my base, and a lvl 147 rex came down the mountain next to me

[slate widget]

there are a couple types of wyverns :P

[pliant locust]

Color code 36, which you get through mutating or certain events (? Can’t remember which) for any dino 🙂

[pure meteor]

aa anyways im going to try and get this rex. I'll let you all know how it goes I suppose

[grave needle]

It's not like a special albino class or anything, they just mean they happened to get white coloration

[pure meteor]

i think this is my 6th dino tame of all time so im fairly hyped to do it lmao

[slate widget]

I thought it was special when I got it lol. then again it was. it made it so I didn't just kill it instead :P

[floral storm]

gl!

[slate widget]

goodluck don't get eaten by the rex :P

[pure meteor]

actually i may go the extra 2 levels for a crossbow just incase

[floral storm]

yeah do that, if you do, you can be 100% its enough

my level 17 rex took 14 crossbow arrows

[supple lily]

how do i know if my mic works on ark ps

[floral storm]

also make sure none of your tames are near, the rex will attack them even if they are on passive

[pure meteor]

why does my megalosaurus keep passing out tf

[supple lily]

naro berries in inventory?

[pure meteor]

w h a t

[supple lily]

did you give it narco berries

[grave needle]

It's daytime

[glad totem]

They go to sleep during the day no?

[pure meteor]

im so dumb lmao i didnt even realise they were there

[grave needle]

Megalos are only active at night

[supple lily]

LMAO

[pure meteor]

no it was night it was because of some narco berries

[grave needle]

They won't eat narcoberries in their inv unless you forcefeed

[supple lily]

lesss go i guessed right

[pure meteor]

he had like 5 stacks of meat in his inventory what

[supple lily]

geesh

[pure meteor]

he might just be a bit special idk

[supple lily]

brain not too fast

[grave needle]

Nah like they won't eat narcos in their inventory no matter what lol

Did you go into their inventory and forcefeed them?

[pure meteor]

no

like i said he had loads of meat in his inventory

and i let him sleep so idk

[grave needle]

Yeah so wasn't narcoberries

[severe crag]

wonder if it will be a breeding evo this weekend

[celest pewter]

That's a negative charlie

[supple lily]

what is it?

[trim flare]

Lol no evo event

[severe crag]

So good start to the last year of ark by taking away the weekend evo events.

[regal yarrow]

Well, ark is dying lol

[severe crag]

It's been dying for a while.

[regal yarrow]

By the end of next year at the latest it'll have very few people playing it

[grave needle]

Oh God not this shit again lmao

[severe crag]

You know they said after this year no more events right? :p

I suspect were going to get the eventual 'man what a fun time we had' with the 'but were going to be closing servers to make room for ark 2'

[regal yarrow]

That'll probably happen

[grave needle]

Yeah official servers are definitely gonna close

[regal yarrow]

But I bet they'll use different servers

[severe crag]

I would HOPE they will use different servers, but this is wildcard, they don't learn from their mistakes. They keep making them until we learn to accept them as part of the game.

[grave needle]

Lmfao

[rugged carbon]

is there a hilly place with no trees on the map

[severe crag]

But I will not know personally because I won't be buying ARK 2. I saw a few games to replace this one as the main game coming towards the end of the year. 😄

[regal yarrow]

The server is the hardware, not the software lol

It doesn't hatter the hardware they use

[severe crag]

The server is a combination of hardware, software, and operating system. You can have the best hardware in the world and it does nothing without the operating system and software on top.

[regal yarrow]

The operating system is there, and it's good lol

[rugged carbon]

also is ark 2 just gonna be called ark survival 2

[regal yarrow]

And the ark server code is good also

[severe crag]

Yea

ARK 2: Electric Failaroo

ARK II: Bugs and Glitch Edition

[regal yarrow]

Like what?

[severe crag]

star citizen maybe

[grave needle]

Hahahahahah

Yeah ark is a mess but star citizen is doing great

[severe crag]

maybe that pandora game

starfield looks kinda dope, the one from bethesda

i wanted to play horizon forbidden west but its ps4 ps5 only

[regal yarrow]

I mean those might be fun, but doesn't look like they'll fill an ark sized void lol

[severe crag]

Eh maybe world of warcraft will have a good expansion.

bwhahahahhaa

[regal yarrow]

That game still exists?

[silent matrix]

When starting a mutation and you get one in HP for example, are you locked in to only keep getting HP mutations or do you have to sort through other stat mutations until you get another HP?

[severe crag]

Anywho, not gonna sit here and cry about the no-evo weekend to yall people. Gonna go play hearthstone and the go breed things for when easter event comes, ASSUMING it does.

[regal yarrow]

Depends on how you want to do it

[grave needle]

If you want to get the full 20 HP muts, you're committed to just HP. If you're ok settling for less, you can keep others

[clever pumice]

What is hexagon in Ark gen 2?

[regal yarrow]

It's like an in game currence

[late parcel]

what are some good dinos and animals to tame on ragnarok

[quasi sundial]

Anyone know why when I put mods on single player if it’s a Dino mod with other small mods it fails to load most of the time

[grave needle]

Mods can be incompatible with each other

[eager loom]

with arks final year or two id expect 2x all year around official rates suck as they are

[barren grove]

I mean stryder in space gets me around 30k metal but every other rate is horrendous

Community crunch shit as always

[eager loom]

well i mean not everyone has the gen 2 dlc

and not everyone can get an amazing stryder or whatever

[barren grove]

Everyone can buy stryders tho

They might be expensive but its worth it

[eager loom]

eh i dont think ive seen someone who sells it

[barren grove]

I see ppl selling 225s for 20k poly lol

If its low lvl it could be around 2k poly

[eager loom]

well overall in general someone who hasnt been playing for long has to deal with it

so 2x would help

[barren grove]

Deal with it like everyone else

Everyone started at a beach and grinded to get what they have

[grave needle]

Why would you stay on official knowing they're gonna be shut down soon

[slate widget]

officials aren't ending soon. events are ending this year

[pliant locust]

So far it’s nothing but people speculating, there’s no announced end to official servers

Just everyone saying it over and over here doesn’t make it a fact or real

[barren grove]

Official is fun

[slate widget]

people see "last year of events" as officials are ending 🤷

[grave needle]

I mean I understand that but it feels very foolish to expect them to continue paying server costs

[slate widget]

it'd be after ark 2 comes out

[grave needle]

Right

[barren grove]

Atleast until ark 2 releases

[grave needle]

That's what I mean by soon

[slate widget]

so still got a year :P if not longer before a date is announced

[barren grove]

Na we got 5yrs until ark 2 lmao

[slate widget]

then even more time for officials 😛

[pliant locust]

Yea, and it’s been increasing lately I feel, like ppl keep saying it over and over and keeping it going without any base 😶😝

[barren grove]

Yay

[grave needle]

It's fairly basic logic lol

Once the new game comes out that will be their focus

[slate widget]

it'd be a decline not a drop tho

they won't stop officials immediately

[grave needle]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did

But could see them scaling back too

[slate widget]

ain't legacy still up?

[pliant locust]

Can still keep up servers. Not having events and letting them just “be” will lower the amount of crashes and such, plus general work as like designing them and making them work again every year.
so they can take people away from solely focusing on ark1 servers and have them work on ark 2 as one example

[grave needle]

Oh yeah they totally could, but is it reasonable to expect them to continue spending the money to support a game they've moved on from

[slate widget]

especially with people going to ark 2. servers will have less load

[pliant locust]

As pumpkin said, they even kept legacy running for all those years, despite wanting / announcing it before they would be taken down.

Maybe they reduce the amount of total servers, to eliminate very low pop (as they did with legacy too)
There’s many options and without any data or announcements, it’s just speculation in the end

[grave needle]

I'm not sure what the legacy thing is supposed to indicate because ark 1 is still live

So it makes sense that it's been kept up

[slate widget]

legacy was the old servers.

they aren't even getting new maps I think

[pliant locust]

Those were the initial servers many (like me too for example) started out on.
They aren’t supported by WC (can’t make tickets) and they said like 2 or three times they will be wiped / transformed into other servers. They still be going like 5 years later despite all this

[grave needle]

Yeah I know what they are. The point is that their still being live doesn't provide any commentary on what happens post-ark 2, because ark 1 is still live

[slate widget]

ark 1 will still be "live" when ark 2 comes out lol

[grave needle]

That's what I'm saying, that's a very optimistic assumption

Businesses generally don't like to spend money they don't need to

[pliant locust]

Well I think drawing a connection between abandoned servers were handled, and ark 1 in the future is more sensible than taking the “end of events” announcement and deduct from that, that all official servers will go offline really soon

[slate widget]

ark isn't required to have officials at all tho

so saying its just because they don't want to spend money is 🤷

[grave needle]

Right, but it's a valuable feature considering the game is still live

When they shift to ark 2 and ark 1 content stops coming out, there will no longer be value in that

[orchid oasis]

How much will ark 2 be

[grave needle]

We don't know yet

[pliant locust]

Well that’s what many companies face with releasing server based games, I suspect there might be an elimination of super dead / unpopulated servers eventually to lower upkeep, but not even WC would just wipe everything official clean as soon as ark 2 drops

[orchid oasis]

Do we have a release date for the animated series?

[grave needle]

No

[orchid oasis]

Me?

[grave needle]

Yeah. No date yet

[orchid oasis]

Frick

[inland plover]

ummm???? i got genesis last night, just started up a single player playthrough of The Island cus imma go thru all the maps, and I was chasing a parasaur and suddenly heard "HLNA reporting for duty" and shes??? behind me??? im completely naked so its not a skin or anything, didnt equip anything, cant interact with her. ????

whyyy is she here

[slate widget]

don't got the mini HLNA?

[inland plover]

i didnt equip it or anything

[grave needle]

On the island? Thats super weird

[inland plover]

shes just, there

[slate widget]

might be because the chronicles

or just a bug lol

[inland plover]

and she says like "Oy" occasionally i have no idea

[slate widget]

see if you can scan dinos. not sure the button on playstation

[inland plover]

alright. i doubt it because i cant interact with her in any way

[slate widget]

its not towards her so it might work 🤷 its most likely a bug regarding the chronicles and mini HLNA :P

I guess it could technically be because you downloaded genesis and it did a bad install but thats unlikely on consoles

[red dawn]

How do I get fungus

[pure meteor]

What is wrong with my megalosaurus it literally can only run a few steps before it passes out for like 30 minutes

[pastel crypt]

body positvity?

[civic trench]

Is it Day time?
They're purely nocturnal so if they're following you/a dino during day time or locked on Wake Up they might be getting sleepy, which makes they to be really slow and drops their Stamina to 0 as it drains constantly.
If it's not the case... It's probably a new bug from the latest patch.

[pastel crypt]

gotta luv patch times

[red sleet]

Is there a way to combat tribe members c4ing my base and stealing stuff?

[regal yarrow]

yeah, kick them

[red sleet]

Well I meant to stop it before it happens.

[regal yarrow]

Put all your c4 and important stuff in an admin only vault so they cant access it?

Other than that you just have to trust them

[red sleet]

Alright got it. Thanks.

[jade oak]

Is there away to delete the animals that get stuck on a Tek Terminal. So you dont have to keep scrolling thru to get to the ones you have uploaded.

[placid sundial]

The easy way is deleting the whole file (deleted everything in the obelisk, all explorer note data and the minimap)

[placid sundial]

I don't accept random friend reqs, but if you're interested in how to do it, I can explain here 🙂

Just need to close ark, and then delete the file here

Of course do make sure to remove any items or dinos in the obelisk that you want to keep first

[noble cobalt]

I have been playing for a couple of hours today and I can't find a bee in the red woods. does anyone have an idea of what i should do. It's a non deticated sever for me and my one friend.

[placid sundial]

What map?

[noble cobalt]

the island

[placid sundial]

Could use a savefile reader tool like Larkator to see where they are

[noble cobalt]

is that a website

[wet saffron]

Ember Crystal Wyvern vs Fire Wyvern

which one is superior

[placid sundial]

Nah program

[wet saffron]

for PvE and usage

Ember Crystal Wyvern vs Fire Wyvern

[ember smelt]

im on the islands map and idk where the caves or the desert is

@everyone

[noble cobalt]

so i got the program but can't find bee on it

[placid sundial]

Check the dropdown list at the bottom for Giant Queen Bee, try restart the program too

If it doesn't show up on the list in the white box, means none have spawned

[noble cobalt]

so it shows a white box at the bottom so should we just go to the red woods and start killing every thing?

[placid sundial]

If you open the white box and it's empty, restart larkator

Should get a list like that when you click the arrow

[noble cobalt]

yup have that

[placid sundial]

There's dinos in it?

[noble cobalt]

yes just no bee

[placid sundial]

Try a wild dino wipe with destroywilddinos, bee spawns have been.. inconsistent lately

Also make sure your dino count is at least 1

[noble cobalt]

where do i see dino count and we have two ovis not tamed and dont wanna loose them

[placid sundial]

Dino count is on the menu, destroywilddinos wont affect tame dinos or dinos in progress of being tamed

[noble cobalt]

yeah but we need honey to start taming ovis for the vege cake and the menu dino count are you talking about ark or the larkator

[torpid hemlock]

i got a male and female ovis and now i have a pretty much unlimited source of mutton

[placid sundial]

Oh, not tamed, mb. I dunno, you could add honey to drops, change the craft cost of cake, or cheat it in so you can dinowipe and then throw out some cake later in payment

[noble cobalt]

I would like to thank you for helping me out definitely a 5/5 on yelp

[placid sundial]

Lol, np!

[torpid hemlock]

lol on yelp

[silent matrix]

is there a gen 1 misson that give the kock out darts/arrows ?

bruh

he can say it but i cant

you are yag backwards?

a big what?

f word?

no i dont

dang L

im ok

[wispy frigate]

ಠ_ಠ

[cedar dew]

can someone teach me how to play w friends in a private server on ark? i just got the game today

[orchid gulch]

what dlc would you recommend for a group of a couple bad players?

[turbid sapphire]

Genesis 2 is pretty forgiving, you can farm a lot of important resources without risk from wild dinos

[pure meteor]

Random question: can you slingshot a low level allosaurus until it faints

Sorry low level allosaurus*

[turbid sapphire]

Most tames will die before slingshot can knock them out, but there is 'Dododex' which can calculate the death chance

[grave needle]

Just checked. Anything 10 or lower could work if you're fast enough with it. But anything above level 1 is likelier than not to die

[mint socket]

Hi I’ve been having a problem with my crystal isles non dedicated server when i load it up everything is fine until i get to “volumes” on bottom left i tried verifying over and over and deleting and re downloading the dlc I’ve been doing this all days does anyone know how to help

[weary marsh]

I was wondering if you can transfer on non dedicated servers with your friends because we need Ovis for mutton and we are on scorched earth so there’s barely any

[violet merlin]

No I don’t think so

[weary marsh]

Aww man

[violet merlin]

Tame ovis and breed them

Make a mutton farm

Ez

[neon apex]

So my game bugged out and I died with my snow owl. I think it’s gone forever. Does anyone know how to get another one/it back? I’m a super noob and was lucky enough to have it given to me. Idk how rare they are or where to find them

But it was awesome and I miss it lol

[torpid hemlock]

@long flicker hey man sorry for the ping but my argent has 9.7K health and 3K stam, im thinking about getting a wyvern egg. Should i go for it? prim saddle btw

[violet merlin]

Get a better saddle

[torpid hemlock]

yes but how

[violet merlin]

Blueprints and shot

[torpid hemlock]

where do i get those

[violet merlin]

….

Drops.

[torpid hemlock]

i tried many drops but all i've gotten are flamethrower ammo blueprints

[violet merlin]

Keep trying

[torpid hemlock]

ok more fruitless exploring woo hoo

[violet merlin]

If you’re on the island you can do caves

[turbid sapphire]

I am not sure saddle will help too much to get a wyvern egg, maybe vs lightning wyvern but
Argent saddle bps can be obtained by fishing with a good fishing rod too

[torpid hemlock]

im on scorched earth my guy

not much fishing possible

[violet merlin]

Lmao

[torpid hemlock]

bruh wyverns dont even exist on the island

[violet merlin]

Drops and caves and bosses

[violet merlin]

I said caves.

[torpid hemlock]

you did say 'if you're on the island'

[violet merlin]

Yea there’s cluster servers

[torpid hemlock]

im on single player

[violet merlin]

Ah

Worst map for single

[torpid hemlock]

how much health should i go for then

my argent gets like +350 health every pump

[grave needle]

Thats waaaaay more health than an argy needs

[violet merlin]

Not rlly

[torpid hemlock]

im going for a wyvern egg

[violet merlin]

Wyvern nest theif

[primal marlin]

Good night, I have a concern. I bought Ark with all the maps that were free at the time, so I want to play on another map apart from theIsland, but it won't let me know why?

[grave needle]

Is it even viable with an argy? They're so slow

[violet merlin]

Download

[torpid hemlock]

you have to download the other maps

[violet merlin]

Level Speed

[torpid hemlock]

yeah you're probably right

[torpid hemlock]

can't level speed on a flyer anymroe

[violet merlin]

It’s in server setting you can

[primal marlin]

Yes, when I downloaded it, I downloaded it with the five plugins that I said

[turbid sapphire]

You can cheat the AI probably by using a cactus broth, looting an egg, eating some polymer, coming back with another cactus broth...and you can leave with no issues

[torpid hemlock]

dude, no.

[torpid hemlock]

im on hardcore

[violet merlin]

Yea it is.

I saw it bro you can’t tell me no 💀

[torpid hemlock]

i know it exists, im not messing with it though

feels like cheating

[grave needle]

Yeah I just checked, wyvern base movement speed is about 2 and a half times a tamed argy's base speed, so you'd need 250% speed to just to keep pace

[violet merlin]

Who plays hardcore? Not me

[torpid hemlock]

well im not you

[violet merlin]

Hardcore makes shit so much more terrifying, all I wanna do is breed and vibe

[torpid hemlock]

another way of saying you're trash, im not

[blazing crypt]

Toxic

[torpid hemlock]

ey that's not okay

[violet merlin]

Damn 💀

@silent matrix can we get a ban / warn for this guy that’s not cool

[torpid hemlock]

ah. an edgelord.

have fun being banned

[grave needle]

Ban speedrun 100% wr

[violet merlin]

Yeah man you can be banned for jokes like that, uncool

[torpid hemlock]

couldnt i lure all the wyverns away and then go for the egg then get outta dodge

[violet merlin]

They’re hard to outrun

[torpid hemlock]

cuz i dont want to go for a high level tapejara that's just annoying

[grave needle]

No, unless your speed is 250%+, they will be faster than you and you are dead

You're better off using a ptera

[torpid hemlock]

i could get them to aggro on something else

[violet merlin]

Have fun with that

[grave needle]

Honestly even if this were possible it would just be way more work and more dangerous than using a ptera

[turbid sapphire]

Place turret boxes around the area and lure them into turrets, that's your only safe option right now

[turbid sapphire]

he is stuck on scorched earth he can't get a Ptera apparently

[grave needle]

Ah right

[violet merlin]

They got banned pog

[torpid hemlock]

yeh thanks

[violet merlin]

Yo what

[grave needle]

Do you have cryos?

[violet merlin]

Pt’s don’t spawn on scorched?

[grave needle]

Yeah, no pteras

You have lymantria instead but they're slow af

[violet merlin]

Pain

[torpid hemlock]

i could make 5

i was thinking tame like a few decent argents then let them distract the wyverns and fight them while i get the egg and gtfo

[grave needle]

You could try to aggro them to the Argent you're on, jump off and grapple to a safe spot, throw out another argy from a cryo, grab an egg and gtfo

Would be some mission impossible shit but could work lol

[torpid hemlock]

yooo that would work

ill setup some turrets too

there's a 150 tapejara in the area

[turbid sapphire]

ur still gonna die, I have no faith in you, bad luck punk

[torpid hemlock]

UHHHHHH fine ill get that

i can outrun wyvern with a tape right

[grave needle]

They're slower than argys

[torpid hemlock]

no way

[grave needle]

They're super fast wild but their speed gets cut by more than 50% after taming

[torpid hemlock]

youtubers i watch use tapes with good saddles

[grave needle]

Where argy's doubles after taming

[limber condor]

Thyla>shadowmane

Also why does shadowmane sometimes just not attack lol

[torpid hemlock]

oh yeah i could get a thyla too, i have 2 breeding sheep

[limber condor]

I have 54. I'm thylaman

[regal yarrow]

Thyla are terrible except for pve and chomping stegos

[limber condor]

thyla are great caverunners what u mean

Shadowmane kinda outclass them but shadowmane are also ugly

[torpid hemlock]

so what are you saying, i cant get a wyvern egg with anything on scorched?

[regal yarrow]

Well, cave running is kind of pve lol

Pvp players run ice cave an hold it day 1 on a wipe server lol

With no tames at at low level

[torpid hemlock]

why you hatin on thylas?

[limber condor]

I would never play PVP so I wouldn't know

[regal yarrow]

I am not hating on thylas, they are cool

But they aren't an all around like shadowmane

[torpid hemlock]

oh yes that's true

i dont think that's an arguement

[limber condor]

ya but they're so ugly

[regal yarrow]

Shadowmane are the coolest looking tame in the game lol

[violet merlin]

Just get a trope

[violet merlin]

Just wait this fenrir comes out

[regal yarrow]

I have already used the fenrir

[violet merlin]

Fenrir so cool

[torpid hemlock]

fullstop

[limber condor]

See?

Fenrir are cool looking

[torpid hemlock]

tf is a fenrir

[limber condor]

Shadowmane. Gag. So ugly.

[violet merlin]

Fenrir are giant wolves and I LOVE them

[limber condor]

@torpid hemlock https://www.dododex.com/taming/fenrir

[torpid hemlock]

shadowmanes look awesome

[torpid hemlock]

mod?

[grave needle]

I mean it is intended to be the biggest challenge on the map lol. There are some video guides with different strats

[limber condor]

they're coming in fenrir.

[torpid hemlock]

people use tape's

[limber condor]

er. Whatever. Freijord.

[torpid hemlock]

Fjordur*

[turbid sapphire]

when scorched earth came out, the wyvern pit was designed with boosted flier speed in mind

[violet merlin]

Fjordur! That’s when it’s coming out

[limber condor]

I'd be happy for it but I don't have much faith in wildcard servers

[torpid hemlock]

the only other time i've gotten a wyvern was with a snow owl on lost island

[violet merlin]

I cant wait to mutate it

[limber condor]

i can't believe people like the way shadowmane look

[grave needle]

The absolute safest way is to bait them all over turrets but it's expensive

[torpid hemlock]

dude they look awesome fym

[violet merlin]

Shadowmanes are cool lionfish boys!

[torpid hemlock]

oh resources arent an issue, i have tons

[limber condor]

Atleast against thyla. Which look amazing

[torpid hemlock]

just that how many i need and where do i put them

[violet merlin]

So many older dinos need some TLC….

[limber condor]

Doubt they'll ever do anything for em'.

[regal yarrow]

Lol, what? The wyvern trench is rough, but not hard

[violet merlin]

Kapro tlc please!! 🤙

[grave needle]

A lot, you're gonna be mowing down 10 at once. So you place them in all in a row along the desert side of the trench

[limber condor]

I fell in love with Thyla when they were first added to the game

[violet merlin]

Kapro is one of my favorites ><

[grave needle]

Then aggro the wyverns, fly up over that

[limber condor]

@violet merlin i'm raising sarco atm lol

[violet merlin]

Kapro safe my favorite, idk why, long ferret crocs

[grave needle]

Kapros are the devil's work

[limber condor]

Kapro are terrifying

They always jump on me from out of nowhere. RKO me.

[violet merlin]

Kapro yoink your raptors >:))

[limber condor]

Plesie are underrated too

Kinda cute long neck ngl.

[violet merlin]

They kinda sucky

[turbid sapphire]

I'm saying logistically the pit was designed for people to use fliers that had movement speed levels added, after nerfs you have to use alternative methods or future content

[limber condor]

If you're having trouble with wyv trench the easiest way is to have a wyvern already

[torpid hemlock]

wow no shit sherlock

[limber condor]

failing that just throw a few ptera at them

or tropeo

[torpid hemlock]

a fire wyvern aggroed onto me for no reason and i barely escaped with my life

[violet merlin]

Scorched earth moment

[regal yarrow]

You can use a rock ele pretty easily

[torpid hemlock]

yeah argent isnt the way to go

[limber condor]

Nah argent is way too slow.

[violet merlin]

Trope

[torpid hemlock]

now i have to slave away and find a high level tape

[limber condor]

Also. You could literally just do crystal isles

and easily get a wyvern.

[violet merlin]

They’re singleplayer

[torpid hemlock]

you absolute dingleberry im on scorched earth

[grave needle]

He's just playing scorched

[limber condor]

Ahh

[violet merlin]

They don’t spawn there either?!

[grave needle]

Nope

[limber condor]

Yeah just throw ptera at them

[violet merlin]

Sadge

[limber condor]

till you get an egg out

[torpid hemlock]

only on crystal isles dingbat

[violet merlin]

They don’t spawn on scortched bunny

[limber condor]

Ptera dont' spawn on scorched? wow I remember it way different than it is

[violet merlin]

Only argy and tape spawn

[torpid hemlock]

oh my lord this is why i only ask bob for help

[violet merlin]

I think quetz too maybe?

[torpid hemlock]

quetz

dont exist.

[limber condor]

it's way easier to get a tape then a quetz.

Quetz exist in scorched wym

[violet merlin]

ahhh

[grave needle]

Only flyers on scorched are argy, lymantria, tapejara, Phoenix, and wyvern

[limber condor]

wow

[torpid hemlock]

THANK YOU

[violet merlin]

Imagine a vulture hoard

[grave needle]

The wyvern is the fastest by far

[violet merlin]

Scary

[limber condor]

I swear to god quetz used to spawn in scorched. lmao

[violet merlin]

This is why I play rag

[torpid hemlock]

im just gonna go with the turret idea

[turbid sapphire]

Wrong you are forgetting about the Oil jug bug and the water bug

[violet merlin]

Turret all the wyverns down

[limber condor]

Your only goal is to get the egg out and back to your base so just keep throwing flyers till you escape.

pretty sure that's how I did it the first time lmao

[silent matrix]

How do I prevent offline raids

It's literally everyday

[torpid hemlock]

bruh i didnt notice how expensive these things are

[limber condor]

yeah they're expensive

@silent matrix literally why I don't play PVP mate. Only way to not is to not play it

[silent matrix]

Damn

[grave needle]

There are servers that don't allow it

[silent matrix]

Spent probably 3 hrs growing with my friend

Got raided my people we helped

[torpid hemlock]

can you bring wyverns into the manticore fight

[limber condor]

no

[turbid sapphire]

yes

[torpid hemlock]

wow who do i trust

[limber condor]

Unless rules changed no

[silent matrix]

Lol

[wispy frigate]

Yes

[limber condor]

Also bring a shotgun for manticore. It's glitchy.

[wispy frigate]

Always have been able to

[torpid hemlock]

you can

[grave needle]

Yes you can, but it's not recommended

[silent matrix]

And in caves

[limber condor]

Am I thinking of valguero manticore?

[silent matrix]

Can you lower the temp in caves without air conditioning

[torpid hemlock]

i was thinking 17 rexes, 1 yuty and then im on a high lightning wyvern

[wispy frigate]

Probably

[silent matrix]

Or how do I stop overheating in caves??

[grave needle]

Dimetrodon

[limber condor]

@silent matrix tek stuff, more fortitude.

[grave needle]

Otter

[silent matrix]

God dang I'm new

[limber condor]

basilo kek

[wispy frigate]

Otter, ghillie, fortitude, soups etc

[turbid sapphire]

organic polymer, can't overheat if you are dead

[silent matrix]

Thanks

Lol

[torpid hemlock]

how funny

[limber condor]

u on official servers?

[silent matrix]

Yea

[violet merlin]

Exactly lol

[limber condor]

how new is new?

[torpid hemlock]

guys i want a thyla and the highest one i've found so far is level 95, cop or drop?

[limber condor]

The cheap version of turrets is rex.

150 thyla or no

[silent matrix]

12 days new but more like 5 cuz the first 7 days I was bs'ing

[torpid hemlock]

ok then

[paper nimbus]

@long flicker thought you might wanna know, i just found out you can use weapons with an archa in KBD

[limber condor]

come visit me on 836

[vague stag]

LOL

[limber condor]

Oh wait. PVE or PVP

[silent matrix]

Damn I'm on 7

Pvp

[limber condor]

oh can't help u there

if u decide to come on PVE come see me on 836

[wispy frigate]

Don’t tame anything less than 130, just a waste

[silent matrix]

What's the difference between pvp vs pve

[limber condor]

PVP other players can kill you. PVE otherplayers can't

[paper nimbus]

cant hurt or raid others in pve

[torpid hemlock]

ok

[silent matrix]

Ohhh

Damn I'll see you soon then

[limber condor]

I refuse to be raided every other day so I don't play PVP

[silent matrix]

Should try it out

[torpid hemlock]

how do i get a high level thyla to spawn

[limber condor]

I did. I've been around since 2015/original early access.

[paper nimbus]

dumb luck

[wispy frigate]

That is a feature yeah
He knows, and still complains
Stubborn bob smh

[torpid hemlock]

ok

[paper nimbus]

why he complain

[silent matrix]

I'm on 7 and I have a pretty good hiding spot I'm moving to if I log in tmr and I'm dead

[wispy frigate]

Wants it in vanilla

[paper nimbus]

i mean thats fair imo

[silent matrix]

I sorta like being able to kill

[paper nimbus]

KBD is awesome tho

[silent matrix]

If nobody can kill me then it's easy mode

Besides the troodons

[limber condor]

I'd be all for it.

if ark wasn't still a glitchy fuckfest

But even in PVE people can find way into your bases, find ways to steal your shit, etc.

[silent matrix]

Thought it was just me

Ohh nice

Can you break people's houses down?

[limber condor]

A lot of these issues have been made better over the years but haven't been fixed.

[paper nimbus]

both are toxic pve ladds just need to get creative

[limber condor]

In PVE? No

[placid sundial]

Wanting it in vanilla i agree, refusing to use it because of it.. less so

[silent matrix]

Ahh

[limber condor]

Yeah but in official a lot of the super toxic things are bannable.

[silent matrix]

7 in pvp has no admins

It's shit talk 24/7

Damn

[limber condor]

Outside of racism I doubt admins would get involved in PVP

[silent matrix]

It's been there too

[limber condor]

That being said. Even in PVE there's a big hatred for Chinese players/tribes.

[silent matrix]

Damn

[grave needle]

No don't be a level snob. 95 is worth a try

[limber condor]

but yeah. I can hook you up with a maewing and some wolves on 836.

[silent matrix]

No idea what that is but bet

[limber condor]

If you're gonna bother spending your time breeding you really don't want below 130.

[silent matrix]

And I can hook you up with one crossbow

[limber condor]

Lol

[grave needle]

That's not what he's gonna do with it

[limber condor]

I'm from a former trading tribe Vega, I have just about every dino.

[silent matrix]

Damn

[limber condor]

I like to help newer players out now and then just because I've been there.

[wispy frigate]

Definitely not lol

95 is very bad

[silent matrix]

Me and my friend tried knocking a carno out yesterday

[limber condor]

Hahaha

[grave needle]

It's single player. Going from no thyla to a 95 thyla is a huge quality of life improvement.

[silent matrix]

Spent 20 fuckin tranws on it

[silent matrix]

Ahh nice

[limber condor]

Vega plz. Come PVE. I don't wanna see you get mad over it.

[wispy frigate]

Going from no thyla to a thyla below lvl 130 is a waste of time and resources

[limber condor]

You WILL be raided and you WILL lose all your shit like 50 times

[grave needle]

It's not online with boosted rates where it's super easy to transfer to the perfect spot on the perfect map and net what you want and free tame. Single player is more about baby steps

[silent matrix]

Ainbet bro

Aii bet*

[wispy frigate]

I play singleplayer lol
Nothing below lvl 130 is worth it

[grave needle]

A 95 or a 130 thyla, he can still get a wyvern egg with either

[limber condor]

So come on PVE Crystal 836 and I'll hook you and your friend up

[silent matrix]

If I'm raided tmr I'll convince Chris to come with me

Bet

Wait you on PS4?

Or is there cross play?

[grave needle]

Lmao the climbing ability alone is worth it for getting eggs, and the wyverns will all be dead from the turrets so it could be a level 5. Being a level snob here is ridiculous lol

[torpid hemlock]

now the only thylas spawning are 10 and 25

[limber condor]

o no

[wispy frigate]

In which case it would be better to use a lvl 10 thyla

[silent matrix]

F

[limber condor]

my bad. I'm PC. ripperino

[silent matrix]

Damnnn

[wispy frigate]

Lvl 95 is still a waste of time and resources

[silent matrix]

Well thanks for the offer

[limber condor]

ye np

[placid sundial]

I mean, a thyla is 100% more bleed than they'd have otherwise

[silent matrix]

Does it cost on PC?

[placid sundial]

Especially on SE with shitty levels

[limber condor]

Yeah ARK costs and you'd ideally want the season pass.

[silent matrix]

Ehhhh

[grave needle]

I understand the point that since there's no risk you might as well just spend fewer tranqs and use a low level

[wispy frigate]

A thyla that dies in 2 minutes is not a good thyla

[placid sundial]

A thyla that dies in 2 minutes is 2 minutes more of a mount

[grave needle]

A level 95 will have 70% the stats of a 130 lol if it dies in 2 minutes, a 130 won't last much longer

[placid sundial]

And again, SE levels

[wispy frigate]

Now, using expendable thylas for the sole purpose of thyla abilities and not stats, I get
But using a lvl below 130 on a daily basis is just not worth it

[limber condor]

my real question is why are you playing scorched if you're gonna play single player

[wispy frigate]

They have cdl, if I remember correctly how many times I bugged them about it

[limber condor]

It's the map I went too originally because noone else played it

[placid sundial]

Thyla level means shit for its bleed, and also, wait till they're trying to imprint and can't find a female lol

[grave needle]

It's fun to play the maps individually on single player

[placid sundial]

Ah, well that'll help, but still, it's more thyla and an extra mount they wouldnt have otherwise

[placid sundial]

It's fun honestly

[limber condor]

Yeah I played scorched for like 2 years

but I'd never pick it over any other map lol

[grave needle]

I feel you, there's not much special about it

It was an interesting twist on the early game but thats about it

[limber condor]

Once i was able to find space on Valguero I said byebye

[placid sundial]

Transferring shit in kinda ruins it imo though and it's not got enough variety to last on it's own, so I'd only play it with either heavy tweaks or a couple other maps for variety

[torpid hemlock]

for now im giving up on the wyvern, im going for a high level thyla to kill deathworms to get a mantis

[grave needle]

Yeah the net gun on maps where you aren't supposed to have it especially

[placid sundial]

Ive been doing Island/Ab/SE noflyers, it's fun

[grave needle]

It just makes the game so much easier

[grave needle]

You'll probably want to bring a direwolf pack for worms

[wispy frigate]

For the purpose of egg running, sure (I was also not aware of the context when I made the first comment)
I still say that (especially with cdl), taming a low lvl creature is a waste of time and resources when compared to a high lvl

[torpid hemlock]

ive used thylas their just better imo

[limber condor]

TBH thje only dino I'd say works really good at a low level is Rex

and that's only for really low level players

[placid sundial]

Depends on how scarce your resources are, I suppose- Ive never had issues with running out of tranqs

Now if you need to use kibble to tame whatever it is, I'd agree there

But getting prime to tame shit becomes significantly easier with even a very mismatched pack of low levels

[wispy frigate]

Mostly time tbf

[grave needle]

Yeah true, definitely not worth kibble

[placid sundial]

yeah that's fair, shit like theriz are 🤢

[torpid hemlock]

is parasaur kibble worth it or should i just eat the eggs

[grave needle]

Parasaur kibble shouldn't exist in the game anymore lol

Ah gotcha

[torpid hemlock]

basic kibble*

[regal yarrow]

make the eggs into a custom recipe

[grave needle]

Yeah parasaur eggs make basic kibble which isn't used for anything useful

[torpid hemlock]

okay i was hungry anyway

[limber condor]

Gigan are some of the best shallow water dinos in the game.

So long as you don't die somehow

[torpid hemlock]

level 100 thyla

cop or drop?

[wispy frigate]

What makes gigas better in shallow water than any other dino

[limber condor]

More meat.

[wispy frigate]

Andor what makes them better in shallow water than dry land

[limber condor]

Sharks are worth 364 fish on a 925 gigan.

extremely easy way to fill troughs.

[wispy frigate]

Why would you use fish for troughs

Unless you’re breeding barys ig

[limber condor]

Fast and easy to hunt.

you will have to fill up a bit faster but honestly I think it's worth it.

[wispy frigate]

Yes but its got terrible food value

[limber condor]

especially if you're on CI in the islands like me.

Dolphin also give 160 raw meat with gigans. pretty good since they're pretty common
