[short otter]

scrambled eggs

[torpid hemlock]

i want a tapejara because im gonna use it more than a tamed argent and it'd be more useful for wyvern eggs but high level ones are just SO rare

[short otter]

are you playing on the island

[paper nimbus]

yeah, they pretty quick. underrated tame tbh

[paper nimbus]

scorched

[torpid hemlock]

hardcore*

[short otter]

o

[torpid hemlock]

aka if i die my character go bye bye

[paper nimbus]

i actually recently started on scorched. not hardcore tho

kapros are dissapointingly slow tbh

[torpid hemlock]

you tamed a kapro?

[paper nimbus]

it was near my starter hut, so i figured may as well

i just hucked a boomerang at it from a rock

[torpid hemlock]

eh that's gonna end up being dead weight but exp is exp

[paper nimbus]

.....i tamed 3

figured it would be nice to have something with a bit more raw power than a morellatops

[torpid hemlock]

OH

morellatops are actually pretty decent

[paper nimbus]

yeah, the smash actually has decent AOE

[torpid hemlock]

i want a flyer but i dont want a low level trash one

bruh every argent is level 85 wtf

[twilit crown]

The update is today right?

[torpid hemlock]

whhat update

[snow rover]

is there any reason when using gestation monitoring that only 4 (out of the 5 color regions used on the dino - it's a shadowmane) would show up?

[twilit crown]

The 200gb one

[torpid hemlock]

bruh that;s gonna be annoying

[twilit crown]

Yup

[wispy frigate]

6 color regions
I’d assume because shadowmanes only use 4, altho I haven’t checked so only guessing

[snow rover]

there are only 4 color regions showing up and 5 are used on shadowmanes

[torpid hemlock]

perry should i keep searching for a high level tapejara or just tame a level 85 argy

[placid sundial]

Because the 5th doesn't use any colour naturally and thus is ignored

[snow rover]

but it can be event colored yes?

because I consistently see shadowmanes for trade that are full colored on all 5 slots

the "No natural coloring" on Region 3 on the wiki only refers to the fact that the color is static on natural, non-event-colored shadowmanes, does it not?

[placid sundial]

Event or mutation, yup

[snow rover]

huh

I'm gonna have to check the parents' colors and see if one of them are 4 colored

[placid sundial]

But cryopods just hide 0 regions (probably still show up invisible ones that mutate too)

Oh yeah the other possibility is that you mutated N into another region that's normally coloured and that region will be hidden as a result

[snow rover]

for whatever reason actually for manes (only seen it with these guys, dunno if any others are like this) region 1 still shows up but it says 0 and is white on colors

at least, on official

[torpid hemlock]

perry?

[wispy frigate]

Search

[torpid hemlock]

alr search it is

[placid sundial]

That might be how it represents 0 then. Tbh I haven't seen the incubator UI in a long while

[snow rover]

what do you mean when you say N here?

[placid sundial]

Uncoloured (DIno's base material colour)/ id 0

[torpid hemlock]

im gonna make a fabricator first

[pastel hemlock]

Quick question. If I move a tek suit to gen 2, will it work without element?

[snow rover]

I had a few of them, I bred like 30 manes at once, i suppose a parent may have had it, server has of course crashed during the short time since I posted that, I will know when its back up 😛

[torpid hemlock]

nope

you will need element

[pastel hemlock]

Hmm, so only the tek suit from gen 2 works without element

[snow rover]

yes, you can just put the federation skins over the tek suit and get the armor stat for free and use the tek suit free (with no element)

[wispy frigate]

Also I thought in that case the color rerolls to a new one?

[torpid hemlock]

oh nvm

[snow rover]

taking damage still takes durability though

[pastel hemlock]

Oh damn. That is super cool

Thanks a lot, mate

[snow rover]

I'd recommend to just use the fed suit though, it's decent enough as is with a couple of points in HP

[placid sundial]

Only if all colours are 0, since then the game thinks the dino is a fresh spawn

[wispy frigate]

Huh

Thought I remembered having a theri with a color id 0 mutation and then I hatched it and cryo’d it and it had a new color id in that region

But I could be remembering wrong

[placid sundial]

It's only all colours. I have dozens of dinos with 0 in only one

I actually have a lightning wyv that's 'fully' coloured 0. I say 'fully' because I have a single (invisible) region coloured with smth else specifically to prevent rerolling

[wispy frigate]

What do the actual colors look like

[placid sundial]

^

[wispy frigate]

Base material color…

[placid sundial]

In the case of lightnings it's a nice purple and some ugly browns on the belly

[torpid hemlock]

out of morbid curiosity, why do people go for color mutations?

oh my god it's raining

[placid sundial]

I like shit looking nice

[torpid hemlock]

ON SE

[placid sundial]

Gimme a sec and I can get an actual example

[snow rover]

well, you can't get some colors normally without events 😛

[torpid hemlock]

understandable, have a nice day

How to kill the desert titan

[placid sundial]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/537573214755487748/828458826969776148/unknown.png

[wispy frigate]

Ah so you could call it the “default” colors?

[silent matrix]

That's ugly as hell

[placid sundial]

Yes

That's exactly what it is

[silent matrix]

Imagine that on a rock drake or something

[placid sundial]

Also ugly, not as bad

Don't think I have a pic tho

[wispy frigate]

I hope drake default isn’t orange feather tips

[torpid hemlock]

yoo how did you get that? i could use that in my gfx

[silent matrix]

Only thing I can think of that would look good with those colors is a rock golem

[placid sundial]

Stolen from a server using it as an emoji, iirc it's correct

[placid sundial]

Ark dev kit, only takes an entire 500gb ssd

[torpid hemlock]

nvm

@wispy frigate i got super tired of not having a flying mount so im taming a 35 lymantria and then using the mastercraft saddle i got for it

[wispy frigate]

Ewww noooooooooo…

[wispy frigate]

At least it has decent protection

[torpid hemlock]

look at you always looking on the bright side

[placid sundial]

yeah they're generally pretty damn ugly. You think coloursets have a lot of brown? You ain't seen default materials. Raptors are particularly horrid

[wispy frigate]

Ugh

Brown is close to orange and orange is my least favorite color

[placid sundial]

🤢

[torpid hemlock]

hey eclipse? could you do me a favour and get me some renders of ark dinos if i ask for them? cuz i cant get ark dev kit myself. It'd really help my buisness

[placid sundial]

Business? I'd be concerned about the legality of that tbh

[torpid hemlock]

oh, dont worry about it lol i just make thumbnails on youtube for people

getting a render for a thumbnail isnt illegal?

[placid sundial]

They're not really renders either, just viewing a model (and in the greenscreen ones setting an animation)

[torpid hemlock]

yeah if i ask can you just get me screenshots like the ones you just sent?

i could use those

[wispy frigate]

Ew

[placid sundial]

Bonus

[wispy frigate]

Ewwww

[torpid hemlock]

can you get me on of a giga chasing a beach bob

[wispy frigate]

The more ugly pics you show, the more “w”s are in my ews (exponentially ofc)

[placid sundial]

It takes about 20000 years to boot the adk so I can't really 'just grab' anything. Also can't do anything else while it's running and I have to physically unplug a drive to boot it

[torpid hemlock]

ah, thanks anyway

[torpid hemlock]

ofc as soon as i knock out a lvl 36 lymantria i find a 110 argent

[placid sundial]

I'll keep it in mind when I'm next in there, but yeah, the adk is not something you can just 'quickly boot on demand' lol

[torpid hemlock]

i understand

[placid sundial]

Literally half the time I spend to test anything in mods is just waiting. for the fucking. kit.

Click launch, wait. Kit boots, wait. Click pgd, wait AGES. Click Play in Editor, wait. Click dino to spawn it, wait. Open graph, wait. Create new blueprint, wait. Cook, wait, wait, wait, wait, maybe if I'm lucky my pc won't completely die and need a hard restart because I OOMed using 40gb of pagefile to compile shaders 😒

There was a time when I couldn't work on 2 mods because both would consistently just kill my computer. One is actually where using a particular node just freezes my computer up for literally 3+ hours (it's never unfrozen but i can see it still doing shit in the logs)

[silent matrix]

What Hardware do you use ?

Yes I have a shadowmane farm that I moved on rag

I only got a green mutation for a male though

[tardy eagle]

Can you host a dedicated server using hamachi

[placid sundial]

16g ram, i7 8750h cpu, gtx 1060, running off an ssd

[tawny wasp]

Why do I feel like..

Heh, reminds me of my mod, nevermind

[tawny wasp]

Have you mentioned superior book cooling

[placid sundial]

Ah nah that's just drag n drop into shoddy adk block coloured green xD remember emo raptor?

[placid sundial]

shhhhhh it's my secret tactic

[normal shard]

why do basilisk like fresh spawns

[placid sundial]

Like fresh spawns?

[normal shard]

yeaaa

[tawny wasp]

No

[tawny wasp]

Remind me later to add a fan to my chassis

[placid sundial]

i was like 'raptor's colours gotta go' or smth

[normal shard]

also what are some decent dino's get in early abberation stages

[placid sundial]

to the desk next to it* hehe

Which is

Actually genuinely effective

It's started getting cooler again so I can run without fps drops again- couldn't run d2 for more than a minute before it started to jitter without the ac, but it was so nice to FINALLY be able to play with smooth frames againxD

[sullen ether]

I recommend nvidia ansel

[silent matrix]

So Manas are native to aberration

Kinda ruins rockdrakes utility

[torpid hemlock]

i have an amd card 😭

[sullen ether]

Ooof

[silent matrix]

I was stand in ark next to big trute then i hear boom boom i look behind i see big rex eating big trutle :(

[torpid hemlock]

uhhh no their not

they only spawn on extinction

and lost island

[silent matrix]

You can upload them

Is what I'm saying

[torpid hemlock]

well yeah you could but that doesnt take away from rock drake utility

rock drakes are way easier to use and can climb

[silent matrix]

That's exactly what it does and I hate it

But who can't go wrong with freeze breath?

Anyone on xbox want to play scorched earth and hunt some death worms i have a base and armour,weaponry and dino that i can suply you with . Its non dedicated server

[upper scaffold]

best way to counter shadowmane?

[sullen rapids]

Not too sure

To not to get seen i gues lol use stealth

Guess*

[fervent turtle]

is the genesis season pass permanent pass to genesis? (cuz i know some games have season passes for temporary access)

[upper scaffold]

you get gen1 and gen2

permanent, yes

[upper scaffold]

but what if they have an ini?

[sullen rapids]

Like i say im not too sure apart from stealth its allways worked for me

[burnt cradle]

U mean on pvp right?

[fickle stump]

It is also helpful for other harder tames

[upper scaffold]

Yes

[wicked nymph]

You can use an ini to view stealth stuff?

[frank forum]

People potato is good. We need to eat potato. Well in primitive plus

[upper scaffold]

You can make it so you don't see bushes and leaves and stuff

[torpid hemlock]

Pretty decent

Metal spike walls, 120 saber tamed

good luck!

[fickle stump]

Smilodon?

[long flicker]

sabers are indeed smilodons

[vital falcon]

Any1 here play official serv?

[harsh cipher]

nah

[torpid hemlock]

Saber toothed anything never existed, smilodon was always the proper name

[long flicker]

humans never existed, it's always been homo sapiens

[torpid hemlock]

Homo

[long flicker]

don't

[torpid hemlock]

Ok

[topaz panther]

i hate trapping piranhas for shadowmane taming

i suck at trapping them so i always waste my time harvesting fiber

[fervent turtle]

so i was wondering, i never beat a ark boss but when you kill the gamma, do you unlock all the tek armor engrams?

[torpid hemlock]

I want to start killing death worms and get a mantis but idk if a saber can do it

[long flicker]

probably not

[torpid hemlock]

Maybe i should get a high level one and then breed and imprint

Why is there an invisible acid whirlpool in the middle of the space biome on gen 2

Lost 5 190 voidwyrms to it

[wicked nymph]

@topaz panther yep, tamed a max level shadowmane with it

Never ever taming a shadowmane in any other way, that trap is amazing

[topaz panther]

the trap is amazing lol, im just horrible with trapping piranhas lol

[dense fern]

Do reapers bug in space when they die?

Cause it’s an acid burn effect

[topaz panther]

ok what is the trick to trapping piranhas, out of 8 baskets i got 1 fish

[dense fern]

Place a bunch of traps and use yourself as bait

They flock right toward you

[silent matrix]

Gonna cry

[dense fern]

Gonna cry about the voidwyrms

They literally ignore aggro and fly towards the middle of the map and kill themselves

How am I supposed to tame something if the game is bugged? Is it just a dead reaper that they go to harvest? I don’t even know

[silent matrix]

Get better

[woeful marlin]

Anyone know when that console update was suppose to hit today?

[severe yoke]

it says 2 hours annd half

now it says less

[torpid hemlock]

base defense, im on scorched and built a small base around an oil vein with metal spike walls. Need something for interior defense and saber was best bet. Also wanna kill deathworms and tame mantis though

[fickle stump]

I would go for an egg ngl

[zenith knoll]

How large is the update?

[cursive scaffold]

unequip it then re-equip

[split axle]

Aka89

[topaz panther]

fr these piranhas have destroyed like 10 of my fish baskets ;-;

[split axle]

Lol

[torpid hemlock]

egg?

you mean breed and imprint them, right?

cuz sabers dont lay eggs-

[fickle stump]

Noo, wyvern eggs

[torpid hemlock]

wyvern eggs?

yeah no im not ready

def not ready

[topaz panther]

you dont need anything to get a wyvern

[fickle stump]

I know they don't lay eggs , ark is verry inaccurate comparing to rl

[topaz panther]

just get an egg and run

[torpid hemlock]

im on hardcore mode, if i die once my character gets deleted

[topaz panther]

well thats a bit different but you could still just yoink an egg and run away

[torpid hemlock]

i had a 16k health tapejara with an apprentice saddle and i still died almost immediatly.

im going to setup 15 turrets all around the trench then AND ONLY THEN will i go for an egg

[blazing badge]

i cant equip it

thats thats problem

[cursive scaffold]

is it the shadowmane or noglin chibi?

[blazing badge]

shadowmane

but i have gen

[cursive scaffold]

do you have all of the Gen 2 Chronicles notes too?

[fickle stump]

It's too expensive and not worth it , make a simple trao for few creatures that argy can pick up so when you get aggroed by wyvern , on their way to argy they spot those trapped dinos and attack them instead of you

[torpid hemlock]

tried that. Didnt work, they just didnt get de aggrod off me

[blazing badge]

chroicles?

[torpid hemlock]

idc how expensive it is as long as it is a permenant solution and it WORKS

[fickle stump]

Might be bug , I did this at least 5 times

[blazing badge]

whatss that

[fickle stump]

Ok your choicr

[cursive scaffold]

https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Genesis_2_Chronicles
you cannot equip the shadowmane without completing this

[torpid hemlock]

yea, thanks for your advice though

Has the update dropped yet? It says I have the updated version if the game

[dense fern]

You don’t need a server

If you have another ps4 or 5 you can host a dedicated server

[tough yarrow]

Answered in #pve-discussion

[dense fern]

Just make sure to have a different account host the server on the PlayStation you’re not using. Otherwise you can’t use your main account. On top of that make sure to have your MAIN account on primary so your SECOND account has ps plus

[dense fern]

Nope

Just gotta wait

[tall wasp]

I have terrible luck

My game crashed while doing the code red mission

[patent pewter]

Has Xbox update hit yet? Is it just PlayStation that’s late?

[tall wasp]

And It just deleted a Allo, full set of gear, tek bow and some other stuff I think I had a giga in a cryopod

[tall wasp]

Which update?

[patent pewter]

There was supposed to be a big console update today at 4pm ET

[tall wasp]

Oh

I can’t check because my brother is playing no man sky/:

[random wigeon]

i did all the maths to work out what you would need to do but theres a slider for it
anyway if you want to know for 80% daytime and 20% nightime you need to set night cycle speed to 1.63 and day cycle speed to 0.903

[mossy anvil]

can someone please play ark with me?

[tall wasp]

Maybe later do you play on pc or console?

[mossy anvil]

Pc

[tall wasp]

I play on Xbox series x/:

I don’t know if I can join u.

[mossy anvil]

ok then thats fine

[random wigeon]

xbox can crossplay with windows 10

[tall wasp]

Does he have windows 10?

[mossy anvil]

yes

[random wigeon]

i meant windows 10 edition

so like microsoft store

[mossy anvil]

nope

[tall wasp]

Hmm maybe in a few I gotta wait intill my brother gets off no man sky.

?

[random wigeon]

Does anyone know if changing the difficulty through the .ini file still works

because the slider resets every time i open ark again

[west sequoia]

who wants to play some modded ark with me

DM me

[swift star]

so on Prim+, are there only tranq arrows?

[wispy frigate]

Yes

[random wigeon]

ok thanks

[wispy frigate]

You don’t want to change the offset past 1

Use override for actual difficulty

[random wigeon]

idk what the offset is but the slider resets every time i open it so ill just change the game file

OverrideOfficalDifficulty = whatever difficulty i want right?

[wispy frigate]

The slider is the offset

i mean yea 8g on my ps4 woulda sounded like an international airport lol

[patent pewter]

Was it larger on Xbox? I was expected them to do more to stabilize Lost Island or something. This seems incredibly minor

[open root]

lol

[slate widget]

haven't gotten the main update yet but genesis was a 6GB update already 🤷 so its bigger than playstations :P

[fickle stump]

Does mek require elements as an ammo or fuel ? (If any of these questions have positive answer may you give me how much it spends)

[ember gulch]

about 90 gb altogether

[cursive scaffold]

yes and yes but idk the rate. If you dont keep element in a mek when its idle it'll starve and vanish.

[fickle stump]

And how do I get elements excluding boss.fightz

[silent matrix]

Did they get rid of crystal isles floating island rathole with the new update

[shell blade]

which one

there are a few

[cursive scaffold]

dust from gachas and tek creatures, shards from various nodes on several maps, element veins and OSDs on Extinction, crafting it on Aberration (which is tedius), HLNA shop on Gen 1 and 2

[silent matrix]

Smash

Question
Can I stack two double doors w/ frame on one another

[silent matrix]

The big one that's on the very edge of the floating islands facing the Eldridge isles

[cursive scaffold]

yes

[silent matrix]

Oo noice

[shell blade]

answer is probably no regardless of which one it is

[stone steeple]

So how do I find the cosmetics on xbox cos they ain't showing in hex store

[fickle stump]

When you combine all of these that are available on extinctiom and gen , is it easy tho? I've heard meks are one of only ways to defeat ice titan since desert can kill itself by lightning

[jagged moat]

can someone help me with my tab key not opening the command box on steam? if u have an idea then please help

[fickle stump]

Maybe open settings and see what button is it

[cursive scaffold]

gacha or a tek farm is the easiest. Element vein and OSDs are a simple concept too. Dont bother with relying on titans for element

[fickle stump]

It is usually tab idk what happened. Check if its working

[jagged moat]

I did that and I'm on abberation so I cant gamma up

[fickle stump]

Thanks , do u have experience with.titans.so I can ask u smth?

[cursive scaffold]

i have experience killing them but ive only tamed them once each.

[stone steeple]

So how do I find the cosmetics on xbox cos they ain't showing in hex store

[fickle stump]

Is it harder to kill or tame tho I thaught its same

[cursive scaffold]

i think its harder to tame

i used gigas and reapers for Forest and Ice, thats easy mode.

[trim fulcrum]

@fickle stump are you talking about killing titans on Extinction or taming?
Plenty of resource videos on youtube for both scenarios.
Killing them is easy. They aggro you and get killed by 4-6 giga’s
Desert titan I just inleash dragons and let them kill it

[fickle stump]

Ok, abt desert one I heard you can easily defeat its nodes by riding quetzal over them so he can hit itself with lightning attack , is it true tho

[cursive scaffold]

yeah thats true but if you mess up you die or get smacked by tail a lot haha but yeah it can be tamed with JUST lightning strikes

[fickle stump]

Yew but gigas are nerfed af when tamed and breeding for muts is wayy too long

[trim fulcrum]

Well if you want to kill them without tames it will be a struggle.

[shell wave]

So I was taming a 150 giga on gen 2 just now and disconnected I’m about to lose everything I gained for the 150

[cursive scaffold]

the amount of health, stam, and melee that you get from XP levels is far higher than from base levels.

so a giga with 40 points in base melee but with like 60+ XP levels in melee is gonna shred.

[tall wasp]

I literally just took a cryopod out of download and my game crashed/:

[stone steeple]

Has update even happened on xbox yet?

Just had an update for scorched earth but that's all

[trim fulcrum]

@fickle stump without tames you could use a tek rifle + tek armor and bury a basilisk or reaper for it to aggro on and shoot it till you run out of element or titan dies

[shell wave]

What should I bring to dragon boss fight?

[cursive scaffold]

mainly Theris, Shadowmanes work fine too, or really high melee theropods

[burnt cradle]

deinos work really well too

[cursive scaffold]

when i say really high i mean...HIGH

[shell wave]

Would high level deinonychus work with yutyrannus

[cursive scaffold]

i dont think the bleed is affected by the courage roar. However if youre swift-footed enough, you CAN solo dragon with a mate pair.

[wispy frigate]

If you have an extra person to ride a yuty you might as well bring it

Little bit of damage resistance could save your deinons

[jagged moat]

but still theri>all

[cursive scaffold]

idk, i tested them all, Shadowmane performed the absolute best

their DPS at the same base level with pack roar, it was staggering

[tardy urchin]

Are PS4 servers down??

[cursive scaffold]

theres an update rn

[unkempt aurora]

How to yell at a dinosaur? (PC)

[tardy urchin]

How long till they back up?

[unkempt aurora]

how to roar with a dinosaur?? (PC)

[jagged moat]

either right click, C, or ctrl

[lavish owl]

Do you guys think they will change rates of official again since there will be no more events?

[jagged moat]

prolly not the whole point of events is to make it less grindy for a short amount of time

[lavish owl]

And there ending that so they should incline to up rates right?

[jagged moat]

????????????

[lavish owl]

I the games over and is moving to ark 2 what does the grind matter

If*

[jagged moat]

I mean ppl prolly cant run ark 2 very well

[lavish owl]

Exactly. so why would they end holiday events and not boost rates us my question they'd be ending the game by there own hand

I only play official still for events i don't raise or farm on 1x seems silly to waste hrs of are life

[jagged moat]

Im not to informed. Have they confirmed that ark 1 will not get any more updates after ark 2?

[lavish owl]

They said they are ending all holidays events after this year

[jagged moat]

oh what the f*ck

[lavish owl]

And when they give us 2x on weekends they give us such short notice nobody us normally even ready for then wild card d9es things in reverse some days I swear

Like after saying there ending events it makes me feel the time I wasted on official will now be for nothing to get stuck on this 1x BS

[jagged moat]

play unofficial?...

[paper cedar]

I cant get into any unofficial servers after I updated

Idk why

[pure iron]

anyone wanna do some modded primal fear w/ me?

[lavish owl]

Iam Uninstalling tbh

[jagged moat]

lmao my little brother loves that mod

I don't really tho

[pure iron]

ok

i just want to not be bored

[jagged moat]

I really only see bigger numbers in that mod lol

My brother doesn't know much abt ark and he thought that "Pikkon The Creator" was completely part of the mod and didn't know it was just Moeder

[pure iron]

cool

[jagged moat]

lol he thought they fully made it

[rugged carbon]

xbox gamepass wont let me download the update

its not moving :(

[earnest crow]

@lavish owl servers are already boosted way too much from what the game originally was. If you think this is a grind now, you wouldn't have lasted back in the day. The game does not need to be made any easier

[silent matrix]

anyone else been having issues with the in game sound not working?

been having this issue for a few days now and i know its not my headset or sound settings because everything else works fine.

[rugged carbon]

bruh was i supposed to be prepared for genesis

[frank forum]

Its been happening for awile for me

[rugged carbon]

i cant catch a break from these dinos

[frank forum]

Ye

[rugged carbon]

guess ima play scorched earth then

[frank forum]

Good idea

[shy kettle]

Can we just make primitive plus playable on lost island please

[lavish owl]

Lol I've been playing this game since release. Just got into the big tribe stuff about 2 years ago yes this game is grind iam done with it. I can't wait for my bases to finally come down so i can uninstall this game or go full single player nobody has the time to be out here raising virtual dinos for 9 real days of my life

[rugged carbon]

Do water veins run out

[cursive scaffold]

no

you can overtap them though

[tame vigil]

does anyone know when xbox servers come back up?

[slender drift]

2023

[silent matrix]

Beo my settings keep resetting everytime i try to use an ini

[tame vigil]

thats when ark 2 comes out and if it was a year from now they wouldnt fix crashes and stuff

[silent matrix]

Its so annoying

[umbral dock]

Hello, I started playing ark, I don’t have too much. Keratin armor and a longneck rifle and that’s really it. I always stay at south zone cause I’m too bad to go anywhere else. Anyone have any tips in what I should do to progress faster?

[silent matrix]

Spinos like drop good exp

[quick sleet]

build a raft bast and become the colonial power you were always meant to be.

small mini bases on the coast are great poinst to grow inland with

[paper nimbus]

tame a ptera, will expand your exploration exponentially

[grave needle]

And after that get an argy and anky, once metal production takes off you'll have lots of options

[umbral dock]

Yeah I got two trikes and a ptera

[grave needle]

And you can use that argy to get a cave tame to start going for some good loot

[umbral dock]

Alright thanks. Also should I use trikes to get a lot of narco berries?

[grave needle]

It'll do the trick

But there are better options

[umbral dock]

My friend said brontos really good

I don’t have bronto saddles yet though

[grave needle]

Bronto is by far the best but it's kind of a pain to tame and collect berries with. The AOE range is insane, you'll accidentally hit everything close to you and it can go badly lol

Stego is safer and very productive

[paper nimbus]

cool, an argy should be next then

slower than ptera but can fight better and carry a ton of creatures and supplies

[umbral dock]

What’s an argy

[paper nimbus]

argentavis. big eagle

found on mountains, and a bit tricky to knock down

[umbral dock]

Alright thanks

[wind quarry]

@umbral dock you on xbox?

[solar edge]

Do I not understand the patch stuff because servers aren’t showing up for me

[uncut moss]

His role says PlayStation 😒

[uncut moss]

Same

[sullen wind]

they're all offline rn, unknown when they'll be back up

[pliant forum]

why cant i join my friends dedicated server

it says like host buildid mismatch

[wind quarry]

@uncut moss the colors weren’t showing for me

[earnest crow]

Lmao you sound like a child. But bye. You won't exactly be missed 👋🏻👋🏻

[silent matrix]

Been playing before it was released, the game was a bigger grind back then when it was in game preview. But I do get what you are saying, unofficial is the way to go now

[snow rover]

is it an intended game mechanic for you to be able to go past armor/saddle/weapon% caps with non-grindable blueprints?

on official ^

[solar edge]

How come other servers show up but not mine?

[hallow iron]

Is there any requirments to fight rockwell prime?

[tough yarrow]

@tulip garnet #735196277221883964 for lfg

[cursive scaffold]

yes, all the missions of the same difficulty

and you cannot carry or be carried, only people who have the completed missions can be teleported :/

[hallow iron]

Tysm!

[grave tiger]

Ark broken

The admin updated it and it's messed up for him now too

[sinful basin]

Hey

I’m new on ps

[frozen urchin]

i need help, how do i make so my structures doesnt require a foundation on nitrado? i tried changing the ini settings to RemoveFloorRequirementFromStructurePlacement=True but it doesnt work, im playing on fjordur with prebuilt castles and i cant put a goddamn forge without placing a foundation which doesnt make sense

[cursive scaffold]

i think you need S+ for that.

[frozen urchin]

I do

[cursive scaffold]

also try floating ceilings too, just in case.

youve saved the ini and restarted the server?

[frozen urchin]

im using a S+ forge after changing the ini settings to true yet cant put the S+ forge on the floor without a foundation

i wanna build in the helm's deep castle on jfordur but i need to fill the whole place with foundations to even build lol like they really need to fix that foundations or just have us disable it completely, i understand for pvp but im playing on pve 😩

i just wanna place a forge on the castle floor without making the whole place ugly with foundations lmao

[cursive scaffold]

well, the unfortunate thing about ark and people with problems is
"I have problem, i tried solution"
"are you sure you really did the solution?"
"yes"
problem still persists

[frozen urchin]

doesnt make sense 😂

i did what you did, like

[cursive scaffold]

cuz that ini setting is the solution and if its not workin i got nothin haha

[frozen urchin]

[StructuresPlus]
RemoveFloorRequirementFromStructurePlacement=true
NoFoundationsRequired=True

[cursive scaffold]

its not you, its the game lmao

[frozen urchin]

those are my ini in my setting

i changed it both on the nitrado website and also in my own folder

restarted the game

restarted the server at least 3 times now xd

unless i have to create a new forge cuz the old forge still has the old settings

[cursive scaffold]

you can try that

i just asked my server admin what they have and its
RemoveFloorRequirementFromStructurePlacement=true
just like yours

thats annoying

[tough yarrow]

It's under your gus.ini?

That's weird that it's not working, mine has been working fine.

[frozen urchin]

i did it both on the nitrado website ini settings and my owns

[cursive scaffold]

was the game server shut down when you edited?

[frozen urchin]

just waiting for my server to restart now to try lol

and yea i always close server for 5 mins when changing my stuff

[cursive scaffold]

yeah im stumped :/

[tough yarrow]

Game.ini or gus.ini? It would work under the game.ini

[frozen urchin]

do you think it requires a space between
[StructuresPlus]
(space here?)
RemoveFloorRequirementFromStructurePlacement=true
NoFoundationsRequired=True

[tough yarrow]

No, that won't do anything

[frozen urchin]

oh wait

does the caps matter?

[cursive scaffold]

no cuz we have it as lowercase "true" and it works

[frozen urchin]

does structures collisions matter? im sure theres some settings out there messing with this

[tough yarrow]

Nope or it shouldn't as arath said

[cursive scaffold]

well, it shouldnt but who friggen knows

[ivory scroll]

I have 19 maps running with the settings as listed. I promise if it's as he posted to you in your GameUserSettings.ini file under the header also, as posted. It should be working.

Do you have any other Main structure mods loading, such as SS, or N+, or one of the other 18 billion variants?

[frozen urchin]

hm, i have forts and castles, lighting addition and the RP gardenDeko mods, i have 4 other mods but its more utility more than anything else, like low steal pegos and itchys lol

[ivory scroll]

we also have maps running the ckfr and such, and those won't interfere with this setting

[frozen urchin]

well i tried restarting and changed few stuff, ill also just try to build a new forge to see if it works

just servers takes a while to appear after restarting

[ivory scroll]

Just by freak chance.... just by chance... I know it's silly... are you trying to build and place the vanilla forge or the S+ one.. I ask because I've done this....

oh I just realized you're building in the prebuilt structures. humor me for a second. when you get back in and all is loaded. just try placing it directly on the ground somewhere else. like on "solid" ground.

If this works, it will be because the structure may be seen as solid, but may not be "reporting" to S+ as being the ground.

I'm not a modder, I have no idea if this is a thing, but... it's worth a shot.

[silent matrix]

Are reaper kings good for crystal wyvern queen

[frozen urchin]

yea when i tried to place it in the castle i was like maybe the castle just dont allow it then i went to try to place it on the ground (grassy ground) and still didnt worked

or maybe the settings doesnt work on jfordur? i have no idea whats messing with the setting rn

im loading in my server doe

[ivory scroll]

worked fine when I was running Fjordur on the cluster

[frozen urchin]

so ill see soon enough

[ivory scroll]

crosses fingers

[frozen urchin]

still doesnt work even with a new forge

😩

where can i put screenshots

[ivory scroll]

what about another S+ structure that would typically need to be placed on foundations?

does cooking pot require a foundation? it's an easy one to make

[tough yarrow]

You can dm each other, the screenshot channels here are not meant for ini help

[frozen urchin]

cooking pot doesnt require foundation

[ivory scroll]

I just admin, I don't actually play.. 🙂

[frozen urchin]

ill just delete all my ark stuff and reinstall it

[ivory scroll]

I honestly think it's going to come down to the interface. make sure it's editing the GameUserSettings.ini and NOT the game.ini.

[frozen urchin]

cant believe this is still something in the game where you can put a goddamn forge on prebuilt structures

doesnt make any sense

its like if i put my pc on the floor and just randomly disappeared cuz life was like fuck u

[ivory scroll]

if you put the settings into game.ini, it will not work.

[frozen urchin]

the only thing available on nitrado is game ini doe

where the hell is gus ini

[ivory scroll]

that is the problem.

[frozen urchin]

on nitrado website

[cursive scaffold]

GameUserSettings

[ivory scroll]

no clue

[cursive scaffold]

#unofficial-setup-help is focused on stuff like that, somebody there HAS to know

[silent matrix]

Can a 100k hp reaper take down a titanosaur

It has 800 melee with over 30 points for leveling

[frozen urchin]

do you use nitrado? if so where you do add the settings

[cursive scaffold]

maybe. it has a good chance cuz of that health

[slate widget]

when you go to the advanced settings can't you click on game.ini and switch to gameusersettings?

[tough yarrow]

Are you using expert mode?

[slate widget]

ah, expert mode thats what I mean

I don't use nitrado :P

[frozen urchin]

wait do i need expert mode for this

[slate widget]

you need it to edit the ini

[tough yarrow]

I always had to use expert mode with mods, the little box in the engine settings never had enough room

[cursive scaffold]

the light is at the end of the tunnel for you Raelynn

[frozen urchin]

will enabling expert mode fuck up anything in my game? xd

[tough yarrow]

You absolutely need to copy your settings down before changing it

[ivory scroll]

well however you get there, if you edit the GameUserSettings.ini file and plug your settings in there. it will work. 🙂

[frozen urchin]

basically if i download my server file i should be good?

[tough yarrow]

No it won't mess up your game itself, you just need to make sure you have your settings saved and can add them back in

[frozen urchin]

oooo i see

[ivory scroll]

but I would also dive deep into the wiki, there ARE some settings that do go into the Game.ini file, but they will all be vanilla configuration settings. ANYTHING mod related will go into the GUS.ini file.

[slate widget]

your settings get reset when you switch to expert mode, thats kinda bad design no? 😂

[frozen urchin]

Yea i just noticed this

[tough yarrow]

Yes another reason why I prefer gportal

[frozen urchin]

i have to do it all manually?

[cursive scaffold]

Nitrado is not good. Its a shame they have a chokehold on Xbox servers

[ivory scroll]

I used HostHavoc in the past and have nothing but excellent things to say about them.

[frozen urchin]

yea im having so many problems with nitrado

they havent fixed anything once for me, my friend always did lmao

idk what else to use since nitrado makes adding mods and everything kinda easy

[tough yarrow]

Default game ini's will be fine, you'll have to edit the custom settings back in that you have though

Gportal is much nicer

[frozen urchin]

so i see lines, like lines from 167 to 169 empty, i can add the no foundations stuff there?

[ivory scroll]

Nicer or worse, it WILL still function, there are plenty of folks that use it. so I won't knock it publicly, because if it's what you've got. it WILL work. but you might have to dig and find what you're looking for.

[tough yarrow]

Yes

Gportals user interface is much smoother and laid out very nice and clean compared to nitrados clunky ui

No offense to anyone that uses it, I used it for years

[frozen urchin]

i mean i hate how whenever my server is laggy or not working i have to go to nitrado supports everytime, i legit made like above 10 ticket supports with them i just cant find what is kinda cheap but good quality since im having little problems with money atm

omg

that looks so much better wtf

[tough yarrow]

Gportal costs the same, but isn't available to xbox unfortunately

[cursive scaffold]

its time to forgo Nitrado

[frozen urchin]

thats fine im not playing xbox XD

[cursive scaffold]

join us on Gportal, HostHavoc, and self-hosted servers

[tough yarrow]

The only real issue I have with gportal is the beacon app access, you have to manually copy/paste if you use it as ftp does not work

[frozen urchin]

i pay 14$ a month for a 10 player slots server

[tough yarrow]

Yes thats how much I pay for my personal server

[ivory scroll]

I don't have any monthly cost aside from the internet and power bill... my overhead was a lot, but you get what you put into something.

[tough yarrow]

I do not have the resources to self host, plus I would not know how, but gportal works quite well and I've personally never had an issue other than the ftp with beacon

[ivory scroll]

I've heard great things about GPortal. I just wanted too many maps running to make it cost effective for me. 19 maps, 75 players per map, $$$$$$$$ through hosts...

[frozen urchin]

im just fighting my internet provider for the last 3 months since ive been harassing them to come fix my router since i cant plug internet cable to my router, im currently paying 70$ for 1/4 of the speed im supposed to get even on wifi and they refuse to come fix their stuff, so i would literally be hosting my own server if it wasnt for their incompetence

[tough yarrow]

Yeah, they can get pricey. But just for me and a few friends it works quite well.

[frozen urchin]

im supposed to get a 300mbs speed and i dont even get 50 lmao

[ivory scroll]

you betcha. I started with hosts. when I got to 3 maps, I switched to a dedicated with them, then two dedicated servers with them. and I decided it would pay for itself to spring for the big bucks, set up the server rack in my house, dedicated internet conection and everything. they are almost at the breaking point to be even after 1 year.

so despite the overhead, in 18 months or so. I will have spent the same amount as I would have if I had stayed with the hosts, but I still wouldn't have my own hardware

[torpid hemlock]

hey guys can someone help me? im trying to equip my weapons off my saber but when i click the hotkey it wont equip it

[frozen urchin]

@tough yarrowExpert mode is life doe, i wasnt aware of that feature, you're a queen

[torpid hemlock]

i have to go into the inventory then right click then go equip

ik i can fix it by reinstalling but i really dont want to

[tough yarrow]

happy to help

[torpid hemlock]

does anyone know any other fixes?

[cursive scaffold]

hey we helped lmao

[tough yarrow]

I know nothing about sabers, sorry acer

[ivory scroll]

I don't. wish I had something useful to provide Acer

[tough yarrow]

Yes you both did

[torpid hemlock]

it's just a game thing, it wont equip my tools

restarting for the 5th time in 15 mins it is

[trail pike]

hello, I always wanted to try the official ark servers, but every time I try to join, I get a "connection expired" message, how can I join?, I'm from steam

[olive yoke]

update size for windows 10 ark??

[trail pike]

hmm... i don't know

[frozen urchin]

seems like firewall problem

[torpid hemlock]

i realized why, i was being a dingus and accidentally enabled num lock 😂

if anyone else has this problem let them know to check num lock

[ivory scroll]

you playing on a laptop Acer?

[torpid hemlock]

yes, an Acer laptop ironically enough

[cursive scaffold]

lol branding

[frozen urchin]

@trail pikeWAIT

i know why it might not work, steam got an update not long ago

[trail pike]

How do I solve it?

[ivory scroll]

yeah. losing half of your keyboard will do that to you then haha.. well I'm glad you saw that!!

[frozen urchin]

the update could be why, restart steam to see if an update was downloading or something

[trail pike]

ok

but this is a problem from the first moment I acquired ark

[frozen urchin]

if that doesnt work, ark just hates your location, so use a vpn, i had it before when playing on official, for me using a vpn worked over the firewall thingy

since i had to use a vpn i paid for a private server

anyway, not ever going back to officials 😂

[severe mica]

Hold on cant your get ark on yo phone :l

[trail pike]

:L

[frozen urchin]

@trail pikeif you're a non toxic player, i have a 10 slots player server on fjordur :viking map) you could try my server if you want to see if it works

[trail pike]

I don't have the map, thanks for everything, at least you helped to clear my doubt 💖

[ivory scroll]

Only thing I would make sure, is that you're running Ark with BattlEye running, and installed. as long as you have that, it "should" let you connect in.

[frozen urchin]

its free, you will download all you need upon joining you dont have to do anything

[proud compass]

is fjordur only pc??

[frozen urchin]

its a modded free map releasing in june

i think so yes

[slate widget]

fjordur isn't out yet.

[proud compass]

yes, i know

[slate widget]

they are talking about the mod version

once it comes out it'll be out on all platforms

[proud compass]

but will it come out for all at the same time, or will consoles have to wait a bit

[frozen urchin]

fjordur mod is pc only until official release in june

[trail pike]

How do I know it runs with it?

[slate widget]

should be at the same time or about.

[frozen urchin]

Fjordur is the best map i ever played

[silent matrix]

i wanted someone to play ark with me but i don't speak english ;-;

[proud compass]

oh, alright!! thanks :D

[frozen urchin]

cant believe they added the goddamn helm's deep in it

[ivory scroll]

If you start Ark from within steam, you should get the prompt (I think) to run with BattlEye.

[slate widget]

you can ask in your language in #735196277221883964

to play with people I mean

[ivory scroll]

if it's NOT installed it should ask you to install it.

[trail pike]

I would have to know the map before it becomes official, they say that it will change a lot when it happens

[frozen urchin]

the map is 100% finished

[trail pike]

👀

[frozen urchin]

they are only working on polishing it and fixing all the glitches

[slate widget]

its mostly dinos. the actual map rarely changes at least in a big way :P I hope fjordur is no different

[ivory scroll]

Honestly, you are stuck in an odd position with your connection problems. I've never experienced that, but I could see, if you weren't running that part of the deal, it could just time out.

[frozen urchin]

it runs better than the island for me XD

@trail pikedownload the TunnelBear VPN and thank me later

[long flicker]

wasn't LI incomplete till its official release

like the map itself

[slate widget]

yeah, not counting that one as they finished it lol

[long flicker]

I see

yeah ig fjordur is pretty complete in comparison

[slate widget]

they aren't gonna leave it unfinished lol

[long flicker]

is that a knock off flint lockwood

[frozen urchin]

jfordur is fucking amazing (sorry if i cant swear) just used to it XD

[reef nacelle]

I wouldn't imagine they'll drastically change the map prior to release

[trail pike]

ok

[slate widget]

https://tenor.com/view/flint-lockwood-laugh-gif-4814889

[reef nacelle]

i.e. moving castles and stuff

[long flicker]

we'll see

[cursive scaffold]

Fjordur was 100% finished according to Nekatus' discord

[frozen urchin]

It is

[trail pike]

I think I have the ark installed in another way hahaha

[slate widget]

you on epic or steam?

[trail pike]

steam

[slate widget]

launch the game, if battle eye isn't installed it'll auto install. after that find their server.

[cursive scaffold]

thats what koltran told him haha

[trail pike]

yey

[frozen urchin]

she said the only thing remaining for the map is polishing it and fixing glitches, everything is done, i have her as a friend and even tell her glitches i found, i told her about the oily area water not working (cant swim, cant drink in it etc) shes usually a very quick person to fix glitches, i suggest to go on her map page if you find any glitches, shes an amazing modder

[slate widget]

thats all you gotta do 😂 unless you start without battle eye.

[reef nacelle]

How quickly do they stand up servers when a new map drops?

Are they already running by the time steam has the dlc available

[slate widget]

officials or unofficials?

[reef nacelle]

official

[long flicker]

I'd assume near immediately

[slate widget]

should be just after I think

[reef nacelle]

I've been playing Fjordur unofficial for a bit

I've never been on an official map on day 1

[frozen urchin]

its not official yet

[reef nacelle]

I'm assuming that there's a race to pillar the castles

Right... didn't know if the first to get the DLC install have a real estate advantage

[slate widget]

on PvE its a race to pillar everywhere I think. PvP its all caves and stuff

[frozen urchin]

this is why i hate officials

the griefing is so annoying

[cursive scaffold]

thankfully ive had the chance to play it on an unofficial cluster lol

[frozen urchin]

like, pillars on big non used terrains, cuz why not (dont want anything near me) pillars on resources areas etc

[torpid hemlock]

hallo bob

[trail pike]

Hurrah! For the first time I was able to enter an official ark server! My God, thank you all very much!, the problem was that I did not have the battleeyes 💖

[torpid hemlock]

hello that guy from cloudy with a chance of meatballs

[frozen urchin]

Lmao makes sesnes

[ivory scroll]

It's just part of the game, all may not like it, but some folks just like to play vanilla official Ark.

[reef nacelle]

There are a couple massive caves in Fjordur that allow building. I would imagine the whole will be used by a single tribe

[frozen urchin]

sense, i have it disabled cuz im playing on private

[frozen urchin]

being in private servers is whats nice doe, you can build ANYWHERE

[torpid hemlock]

am i the only one here who plays sp?

[ivory scroll]

lots of folks do

[frozen urchin]

XD, i love making a small house in cave just to farm some stuff and make everything there

[long flicker]

obviously not

[slate widget]

private or SP for me.

[torpid hemlock]

@long flicker officially on day 11

[reef nacelle]

My tribe moved from a private cluster to official a couple years ago. We're probably not going back to all private

[frozen urchin]

used to play SP but with friends its better :3 fuck random people doe XD

[long flicker]

eyy nice

[reef nacelle]

only PVE. PVP's too toxic

[torpid hemlock]

but my number keys keep stopping working, i press 1 but it doesnt equip my gun

so i have restarted like 5 times already

[cursive scaffold]

how have you been Bobster!

[long flicker]

oof

[ivory scroll]

thought that was because of your numlock

[long flicker]

pretty good
also been offline for the past few days

[frozen urchin]

OR

[torpid hemlock]

turns out not, it still wont work sometimes

restarted the entire pc see if it works now

[frozen urchin]

he pressed backspace, my tools doesnt work when my UI is disabled for some reasons lol

[long flicker]

sometimes your alt key can be pressed

[torpid hemlock]

i accidentally killed a 140 male saber tooth that was a breeding pair too 🤦

btw bob i leveled up my saber to 500 melee

[long flicker]

try pressing alt a few times and then using the number keys

[long flicker]

that's pretty good
sp settings or no?

[torpid hemlock]

sp settings

[long flicker]

that's pretty eh then

[torpid hemlock]

i think*

[cursive scaffold]

what is your hashtag referring to, Bob?

[long flicker]

that they should give more love to the archa, update it, make it better

[torpid hemlock]

im doing 126 damage and level 90 thylas are doing 23

[long flicker]

I've had it since LI release since the sinoma completely replaced the archa

[long flicker]

basically I want an archa TLC

[slate widget]

archa glider like terror birb. it no glider like glide suit.

[long flicker]

I don't want it to

[slate widget]

too bad :P

sorry bobster

[frozen urchin]

do anyone knows how to have tribe logs etc put on discord server? i can use music commands from ark itself but cant seem to setup a webhooks for tribe logs

[slate widget]

your silence hurts me

[long flicker]

oh I'm just searching for animes to watch

[cursive scaffold]

when i was a kid i had a dino storybook and there was one about an archaeopteryx that got separated from her mom so she learned to fly so she could go above the trees and she found her

[slate widget]

😂

[frozen urchin]

Fate zero/Stay Night

[slate widget]

too long, too confusing. they got so many different parts

[long flicker]

I never understood the fate/ series
there's like 50 billion anime with the name fate/something or the other

[cursive scaffold]

boku no harmabe ginsu

[long flicker]

my harambe?

[frozen urchin]

Yes pretty much like monogatari series xd

[long flicker]

monogatari?

[dusk snow]

are they’re any servers that don’t give boosted xp or materials that wipes ?

so like an official server that wipes

but it obviously wouldn’t be official

[frozen urchin]

but im a huge fate fan so i know the order xd

[slate widget]

doubt it. how much could you do in 30 days at normal rates.

[dusk snow]

what do you recommend ? 2x or what

[long flicker]

I've never heard of a series called monogatari

[slate widget]

it'd just be a slower arkpoc :P

[ivory scroll]

I have an entire vanilla cluster with all maps, that is VERy close to official with some extras to circumvent the issues a lot of folks have with official

[frozen urchin]

My private servers has actually reduced xp and resources gathering to make it more grindy, im an old school runescape player 😂

[slate widget]

gotta go to that 1/8x (old rates :P)

[frozen urchin]

i hate when things are too fast

[long flicker]

meanwhile me with insanely fast rates

[cursive scaffold]

slomo

[dusk snow]

me too but it’s like without a tribe you can’t do anything in official there’s no point

[frozen urchin]

yea idk how people play with like getting 200 stones with a axe hit, unless they just wanna build etc

[long flicker]

I use both

[slate widget]

I play on double smalls :P at least when I actually played 😂

[dusk snow]

i don’t either like is that not cheating ?!

[long flicker]

I don't have boosted gathering, just xp 2x, taming 2.5x and really boosted breeding

[slate widget]

cheating is what you want it to be

[long flicker]

depending on your playstyle

[slate widget]

as long as you don't play officials :P

[long flicker]

most of the time, it's not cheating

[slate widget]

then they decide whats cheating 😂

[long flicker]

it takes out the fun in certain playstyles but it's still not cheating

[dusk snow]

well i obviously know it’s not that’s why the servers made that way but it just feels weird breaking a tree and building a mega base

[long flicker]

gathering can be really grindy so I understand having 2x or 3x gathering

[slate widget]

then play on lower rates 🙂 might be hard on console tho.

[cursive scaffold]

wait until you discover Fibercraft

[frozen urchin]

i played around 2000h 4 years ago without a single tribe member and was the second biggest base on my official server, its 100% doable on pve, i wouldnt try it in pvp doe, but i had 3 gigas, around 5 quetz etc while being alone completly with official settings, even my private server is slower than officials XD

[long flicker]

but 4 years ago ark is different from current ark

[frozen urchin]

It was worst

[dusk snow]

well ya i don’t rlly prefer pve i want more of the rust feeling

[slate widget]

fibercraft with infinite weight and 20x difficulty :P

[frozen urchin]

now, so many dinos makes the game easier

now every dinos can gather stuff easily

[long flicker]

don't forget the 1000000x player damage

[frozen urchin]

back then, we didnt even have the giants bees XD

[ivory scroll]

we went with very very close rates to official on the big cluster I host, because we wanted to provide a full experience, with no wipes (decay is active) and "reasonable" taming rates that make things engaging, but not so fast it's effortless.

[slate widget]

I like the new stuff :P

[frozen urchin]

Beavers was just released

yea same, obviously its better now

[long flicker]

keep in mind, new stuff that others also own

[frozen urchin]

but back then, getting resources was a pain in the ass compared to now

[slate widget]

base rates for farming are 8x I think.

from back then I mean

[cursive scaffold]

eeeeeh back in my day we had to use a stone axe to gather wood! thats how i like my dino collecting game!

[slate widget]

so my 5x is 40x back then 😂

[cursive scaffold]

i had to walk to my base in the mudersnow up hill both ways without any fur armor

[frozen urchin]

o.o

[long flicker]

back in my day people didn't play ark!
those were the days!

[frozen urchin]

@tough yarrowexpert modes fixed everything* ( sorry lord of caps)

[slate widget]

back in those minecraft days 🥲

[cursive scaffold]

back in my day we played ark but it was real. Only real cromagnon remember

[long flicker]

why is country's name countrysorry now

[slate widget]

country says sorry too much

[cursive scaffold]

shes canadian

[long flicker]

did I miss something

[slate widget]

not actually

[frozen urchin]

im canadian

i also said sorry

but, trust me we're nice until something pisses us off 😂

[ivory scroll]

It'd been a dead givaway if you'd said solly

[slate widget]

nah, country just says sorry too much :P country and otter change their names really often (and nobody ever says anything )

[cursive scaffold]

i called you out for being a melon once

[long flicker]

yeah I know, like countrydodo and others
but I figured "sorry" would have a story behind it or smth

[slate widget]

why everybody freak out when I changed mine back but nobody else

tbf my name was never d3solat3Pumpkin as a mod :P

but still

[cursive scaffold]

At least your name isnt rohan sharma

[long flicker]

:thonk:

[slate widget]

no idea who that is :P

[wispy frigate]

Probably cause I do not remember ever seeing you as your current name before like a month ago

Might just be my memory tho

[late parcel]

So I want get into a server and I know there is a pve servers list for steam but I want to know I good popular one for someone taht hasn’t joined one before. Please let me know!

[open dagger]

I have 270 Tranq arrows on a Mastercraft cbow what should I tame that takes 30-60 Tranq arrows (has to be level 300)

Holdup can creatures even spawn in at level 300

[long flicker]

memory do be like that

[long flicker]

check dododex

[open dagger]

Idk what to search for bruh like what creatures

[slate widget]

look under that message :P

[wispy frigate]

I hope “cbow” doesn’t mean compound bow
Unless you intend to kill stuff before you tranq it

[slate widget]

crossbow

[wispy frigate]

exactly

[wispy frigate]

…right
Lol I’m used to crossbows being referred to as xbows

And then autocorrect trying to make it xboxes

[slate widget]

xbows on xbox nah :P

[long flicker]

autocorrect learns

it actually autocorrects to fuck these days for me

[torpid hemlock]

ey perry and bob

[tardy eagle]

Are the legendary drops even worth it

[wispy frigate]

One time I said “I really hate” and autocorrect suggested “autocorrect” as the next word

[sage plaza]

transfered to another pve server, somehow the server crashed, logged back on with nothing in my inventory, what the f, my tames, and my good equipment, just gone cuz a server crash

[long flicker]

lmaoo

[wet saffron]

what creature do u want to be added in ARK?

[wispy frigate]

Some sort of draconic creature but for the ocean

[paper nimbus]

a sea serpent would be cool

[wispy frigate]

Yes, something like that

[paper nimbus]

i for one want a microscopic creature that you can ride. saves the devs a lot of time because they dont need to make a model

[wispy frigate]

Idk if Jormunger or whatever that big snake dude in norse mythology is called but if it could be added to fjordur thatd be so cool

[paper nimbus]

you are aware that he is supposed to emcompass the entire earth, right?

[wispy frigate]

So like a floating player

Nano-bots could be cool

[paper nimbus]

it was a joke, but funny to envision

[wispy frigate]

Floating player does nothing but hits for 7k damage

[paper nimbus]

he is called the World Serpent, after all

[wispy frigate]

You are aware that fenrir is supposed to have torn off a god’s hand, right?

[paper nimbus]

also cant fit into anyhting because actual size is taller than a titan

[paper nimbus]

that's a fair point.

[wispy frigate]

If they don’t change the fenrir I don’t see any reason why it’d be unrealistic to have the world serpent

[paper nimbus]

fenrir is also one god, or one deity, so having multiple tamable ones wouldnt make sense anyway

[wispy frigate]

Exactly

[paper nimbus]

yeah, i suppose. would have to be as big or bigger than a basilisk

[wispy frigate]

Ohhh true, we already have two snakes

[paper nimbus]

imagine if it was just a reskinned basilisk

[wispy frigate]

If it had no eyes, throwback to og baslisk
