[bronze sluice]

it's restarting for the Summer Bash

[lapis eagle]

How many campfires would you guys say a carbon egg would need

[vivid tendon]

i found my stego

[silent matrix]

i dont think so 😦

[candid moon]

Guys why is my game so bright (dont say gamma)

[lapis eagle]

its gamma

[deep holly]

maybe in game brightness or screen in general

[bronze sluice]

I blame Gemma's gamma

[candid moon]

how can I fix in game brightness

[north scarab]

Can someone make a cryo fridge and a giga saddle for me, I have the materials just not the levels

[hidden coral]

No

[silent matrix]

@silent matrix @viral shore @tall minnow @peak finch EU PVE Official 467 Extinction shutdown 12 hours anybody help here ???

[silent matrix]

Hello, have you submitted a #server-reports ticket?

[silent matrix]

😄 yes i am but doesnt work i think

it shouldn't take that long for the server to come back.

[silent matrix]

it does, it just might mean your server is showing as online in the data or the issue needs extra attention that wasnt clear in your ticket.

[silent matrix]

depends 100% on the issue

[full oriole]

It can, I've seen several down for several days, some even a full week. Shouldn't happen but it does

[rancid field]

officials up yet?

[silent matrix]

that's not normal, that's what I'm trying to say

you should work so that nothing like this happens

it amazes me that such a problem becomes permanent and there is no search for a solution. do not normalize it.

[plucky frigate]

Are the servers up?

[inner karma]

Hey guys is it just luck that I found 4 different green Dinos and 2 purple Dinos?

[lapis eagle]

How do i get kibble i have finally hatched my first egg and it says something about the baby wanting kibble

simple kibble*

[light dome]

Dododex (website/app) has the recipes for you to make kibble

It’s usually an egg with vegetables, berries, water, and some other stuff cooked together in a cooking pot

[lapis eagle]

wait an egg? like a dino egg

[sleek coral]

Yes

[lapis eagle]

Ooooof might aswell give up then. Like do they expect me to get an egg ;-;

[sleek coral]

Yes. I have dinos specifically for that purpose

You need crops for most kibble also

[lapis eagle]

Ye i just checked... I need rockarrots impossible and cooked fish meat impossible :((

Not getting my baby turtle then

[sleek coral]

It will still grow up as long as you feed it. It just won't be imprinted

[broken aurora]

when i try to play with my friends on local server i get "connection timed out" error (no mods), can anyone help me

[sterile rapids]

.

[neat wharf]

Anyone know how I can edit the config for s+?

[inner karma]

Anybody notice that there are so many multi color Dino’s?

I found a black and purple level 145 spino

[neat wharf]

That sounds amazing tbh, I like multi color Dino’s

[inner karma]

Ye

I also found a 130 purple and white trike but it was killed by a rex..

[neat wharf]

Aw

[chilly scarab]

Not sure if this has been said yet, but you can put it in a cryoball and throw it back out. That, most of the time, changes what it wants for imprint.

[trail summit]

hey y'all, my game keeps crashing after like 30ish seconds after launching it no matter what I'm doing in the game. Is this a widespread issue? If so, is there a known fix?

[tropic burrow]

Let's see that error code

[trail summit]

it is really long so I'll just ss and dm it to you

[narrow hamlet]

Hello Friends!

[pine drum]

76 percent b like

[waxen swift]

hey, i have a question. i'm trying to join my friends non dedicated server and we have some mods downloaded. I enter in his game through steam but it freezes on the main menu and i can't move. is it normal?

[pine drum]

mods prob rlly high tech

u on potato pc?

[vivid tendon]

i tamed a sarco to replace my carno

[waxen swift]

we have like primal fear and those

[pine drum]

huh

[waxen swift]

no, my pc is not that bad i have a rtx 2060 and a i7-9700k, it's not the best but it's not bad

[worthy pagoda]

Rip to Shadowmane which got vanished in server transfer

I should've bread him before transfer

[static fjord]

he does not want to be bread.

[waxen swift]

oh it started entering the server now maybe it was loading the mods

[worthy pagoda]

Lol I run on I5 8thgen with 1050 ti and btw its laptop so you are doing better then me Sir 😅👍

[pine drum]

I tamed the carno and named it toasy

[glad grotto]

I might be able to help too can you send it to me as well

[trail summit]

for sure!

[slow sedge]

How would i enable the summer evo evnt on a nitrado server?

[leaden cliff]

Select current official event or summer from the drop down menu. Restart server

Wait for them to push it to official as well though. Sometimes it doesn’t work right away with the event name but does work with current official after official and unofficial server updates

[light dome]

Is there a way to shorten the cooldown for world bosses?

[cunning kernel]

Just be aware that event specific items like dodorex/wyvern and raptor claus will not work unless that event is currently active, you will only get colours @slow sedge

[leaden cliff]

Exactly

[blazing crypt]

Some think that a rex beside base is bad
Have u seen a pack of troodons?

[light dome]

Try just placing it in the same spot. Usually it snaps to where the old wall was and then when you place it the old wall breaks and the new one takes its place

[shy bone]

I am so sad that the rainbow horned unicorn was just for promo pics and that there isn't an actual rainbow unicorn to tame

[frank oracle]

Maybe

One thing that ticks me off is that pc can extend the tether distance

[copper osprey]

May Techno rest in peace

[light dome]

How so?

[frank oracle]

Xbox can’t

[frank oracle]

Idk

[frank oracle]

Ask #bobs-with-probs

[olive jacinth]

Hey, i just lost my loot by flying into a border with a mana. It killed me and lost all my loot due to 'antimesh' i had alot of loot on me includong zombie wyverens and baby manas. Is there anyway to recover it? I also clipped it.

[frank oracle]

Nope

[scenic willow]

i’m so mad man

[frank oracle]

F

[scenic willow]

i just lost all my tames to a damn titanoboa

so goddamn annoying

the first time i try official too

[frank oracle]

What tames

[scenic willow]

two raptors

[frank oracle]

Pvp?

[frank oracle]

How

[scenic willow]

pve i’m scared of pvp

[scenic willow]

?

[cunning kernel]

It'll happen more than once lol

[frank oracle]

Rightfully so

[frank oracle]

How did raptors die to a snek

[scenic willow]

ask them

[livid sage]

Anyone know a discord that is used for Trading on Official Small Tribes? Dm me ❤️

[light dome]

I think that’d be pretty self explanatory

[cunning kernel]

I've lost magmasaurs to pegos, mammoths to dilo, brontos to raptors

[frank oracle]

Were they on passive?

[scenic willow]

no

[frank oracle]

This is why you put stuff on neutral

[frank oracle]

Heck

[cunning kernel]

Nah, I don't like my dinos disorganised lmao

[scenic willow]

MY DILO

she just killed a sarco

[cunning kernel]

I'd rather they died than look messy 🤣

[scenic willow]

man i’m done with official

i’m going back to single player

[light dome]

But then you have stuff running around and they get all over the place

[mild chasm]

i am back

again

[main nimbus]

just put most dinos on passive and have a few on neutral

[static fjord]

putting a few guard dinos on neutral is good, or you could have a spike wall.

[lavish schooner]

My cluster is already set to current official event. Do I just gotta restart the maps?

[leaden cliff]

Wait for official to push the update then wait for nitrado to push the update to your servers

[lavish schooner]

Ah gotcha. Thanks

[leaden cliff]

Yeah no problem. Usually I set it to current official and wait a few hours after official then log in and see the cooking pot if nothing then I do a restart if still nothing it hasn’t been pushed yet

[silent matrix]

listen when i join to any primal fear server its do "Failed To Install Mod Map"
someone can help me ?

[lavish schooner]

Yeah I know it always takes a bit. Just throws me off this time since I know official has it.

[stoic wave]

Anyone else experiencing this issue where you are running and randomly getting stuck in the falling animation for like 10 sec?
The exact same as described (and fixed) in this thread 3 years ago.
https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/401499-constantly-free-falling-on-the-ground-since-recent-update/
Should I submit a ticket?

[chilly scarab]

Well, does it do it all the time? Or just happened once? If all the time, I'd submit a ticket.

[stoic wave]

if it was once only I wouldnt bother even asking if its only me 😄

[surreal jewel]

how many tranq darts do i need for a giga?

[stoic wave]

it is doing it quite randomly though but when it happens it happens quite constantly, then its fine for a while

[stoic wave]

between a ton and countless 😄

[wary sundial]

E

[chilly scarab]

Well, if it bothered me enough to post here asking if I should post a ticket I already would have. lol With that said, did you try verifying your files? And completely uninstalling and reinstalling ARK?

[neat wharf]

Anyone know how I can edit the config for s+?

[stoic wave]

well thats exactly why I asked, I didnt think about verifying gonna try. I won't reinstall 3-400 gb unless its absolutely necessary though 🙂

[patent egret]

I don't understand, I'm using a breeding calculator to evaluate how many milk I need for my wyvern, but it calculates only 2 until adult (in 3d+) with default config... is this correct ? This sounds off

[viscid hollow]

Guys, what difficulty level i need to get dinos 190 to like 250 level? I play Ark on PS4.

[patent egret]

there's a calculator somewhere for that

[viscid hollow]

ok thx

[stoic wave]

I recall ts 30lv/1dif but thats for pc
i.e.: dif 6 --> max lv 180

[patent egret]

the formula itself makes no sense

it's overly complicated

[viscid hollow]

agreed

[viscid hollow]

thx anyways

[eager fulcrum]

I will never not hate the water

Every time I say "This time I will do some water stuff" when I remember eels and jellies are 80% of the ocean

[patent egret]

old wiki not allowed, tyvm

DifficultyOffset = (Maximum Creature Level / 30 - 0.5) / (Official Difficulty - 0.5)

@viscid hollow

[viscid hollow]

Yes

[viscid hollow]

this is for console and pc or?

[patent egret]

it's not specified

so I think it's the same

[viscid hollow]

tysm i appreciate that

[solemn gull]

I'm guessing the event hasn't dropped yet, or am I blind? Someone tell me the cold hard truth!

[solid aurora]

I keep getting a fatal error when trying to launch ark. I even uninstalled and reinstalled last night. How can I trouble shoot this further

[silent matrix]

Test

[solid aurora]

Event is live. It's running on my cluster.

[solemn gull]

Well dang. okay thanks.

[solid aurora]

are you running a private server? You may have to activate it via launch scripts

[solemn gull]

I am, but its not on the list of active events. I'll go digging and find out though.

[mellow herald]

If I were to have ark on my xbox one and I download it via the xbox app on windows can I still play my dlcs? Or would I have to buy them again.

[verbal berry]

The ark smart breeder is also outdated regarding everything being 88 now instead if some dino's still 73 XP levels?

[wispy frigate]

Interesting

[distant plume]

Are the xbox official cross platform servers boosted as well?

[verbal berry]

You are 100% certain all dino's have 88 xp levels now?

[wispy frigate]

Yes

It got changed like a year ago

[silent matrix]

Yo

[keen zodiac]

What does the greenhouse effect do?

[tawny wasp]

that was handled in ASB v0.47.0/June 2021, so GEN2 release.

[wispy frigate]

Yeah

[azure bridge]

any good tips for finding high lvl rexes

[lapis eagle]

Oof made a huge mistake didnt think the theri guys could break stone so had to kill it. But that nearly went wrong :((

[proud grove]

they can break stone, but usually takes them a while

[proud grove]

crops grow up to 300% faster

[small heart]

i just got globally banned on ark FOR PUTTING HIDE IN A VAULT

explain??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[jade leaf]

Am I being blonde or do we need to do an update to start the summer bash event? As I heard its dropping at 1pm Pacific time so that was 9pm UK and its now midnight and no update?

[silent matrix]

the admins thought it would be funny

[waxen swift]

i'm having a weird problem, when i trie to join my friends server it says: connection to the host failed. how can i solve this?

[neon rampart]

There is no summer bash event. There is an evo event. Are you talking about yourself running an unofficial server? If so, you just have to use the parameter.

[slate widget]

there is a summer event. colors and the crafting stuff in the cooking pot. just no update.

[silent matrix]

Doesn’t exist? You have to tame then make a saddle to mount a dino

[neon rampart]

There is no summer bash event but there is an evo event.

[slate widget]

what is summer bash if not the craftables in the cooking pot and the colors lol

[chilly scarab]

Curious what you call Summer Bash? We have boosted rates, colored dinos, chibis and emotes and skins?

[silent matrix]

This is my first time being around for a summer bash what’s this one all about

[waxen swift]

i'm having a weird problem, when i trie to join my friends server it says: connection to the host failed. how can i solve this?

[slate widget]

dinos got some fancy colors and there are some new recipes in the cooking pot to craft event items. they use different types of meats to craft.

[silent matrix]

ok cool I’ll add it to my singleplayer server

[neon rampart]

Since the developers of the game called it a non-traditional Summer Bash and called it a 'Summer EVO event.' I'd like myself to do the same.

[slate widget]

besides them not adding any new skins/chibis, its still summer bash nothing else is different that I noticed

it even starts with the same setting, activeevent=summer

oh it doesn't play the summer bash music in the menu :P

[neon rampart]

Eh, in my opinion, I find it a bit misinformative to refer to it as a Summer Bash because lots of my friends associate Summer Bash with dope new bikini skins, so instead I'd personally prefer to refer to it as a Summer EVO event.

[slate widget]

evos only effect officials tho. still seems misleading

could just call it summer bash 2021 then, besides them adding a couple new colors. its essentially just that

[neon rampart]

Good point. Summer Bash 2021 + New Colors - Main Menu Music. That's what I will refer to the event from now on.

[slate widget]

👍

wonder why the music doesn't play tho lol

[neon rampart]

In order to enable the Summer Bash 2021 + New Colors - Main Menu Music event for an unofficial server, you need to type activeevent=summer in your startup parameters.

[waxen swift]

i'm having a weird problem, when i trie to join my friends server it says: connection to the host failed. how can i solve this?

[worn stump]

Is anyone else’s game keep crashing after the update yesterday

[slate widget]

non-dedi? try joining another server for a minute then try again. non-dedi has some issues.

[slate widget]

verify your game files

[worn stump]

How? Is it the integrity thing?

[slate widget]

steam? right click ark, properties, local files, verify

[worn stump]

Okay thanks

And if that doesn’t work?

[silent matrix]

How can I get water into my water skins from a water well?

it’s full it says 200/200 water because it rained a few times

idk what to press to make it fill tho

[proud grove]

put water skin in the well inventory

[silent matrix]

Then what

[proud grove]

that's it

[silent matrix]

Do I wait?

[proud grove]

no, you need at make a tap

then put the waterskin in the tap

[silent matrix]

ohhh yeah I just have a pipe

what level for the tap engram?

[waxen swift]

i'm having a weird problem, when i trie to join my friends server it says: lost/timedout connection to the host. how can i solve this?

[proud grove]

17

[silent matrix]

k thanks bro

[proud grove]

carry a few, they leak over time

[silent matrix]

Yep I have like 6 on me

[neon rampart]

Just save up for a water jar honestly.

[silent matrix]

Idk how to get the crystal

Otherwise I would

[neon rampart]

Find some. Do some exploring.. or look up a resource map.

[proud grove]

you'll need a metal pick for crystal

[silent matrix]

I have that

It’s my only metal item

Because I got some metal from a tek dino that I killed

[proud grove]

and make the spyglass when you get crystal

[silent matrix]

Spawn locations for doedics? Fjord?

[silent matrix]

Should I make a magnifying glass too?

[slate widget]

some be in asgard

[silent matrix]

Usefull for seeing the torpidity of dino

might use that then

[neon rampart]

Eh, it's not too useful.

[silent matrix]

I like making everything so I’ll make it still

[neon rampart]

🤷‍♂️ Sounds good.

[silent matrix]

What level is it for the pistol engram

[karmic sail]

@silent matrix i have a rebuttal to the quote in your pf

[silent matrix]

didn’t ask

[karmic sail]

everyman should know how many cheese burgers there bodies can handle.

[dapper igloo]

REEEE

[karmic sail]

oh cmon it was a dad joke simmer down

[silent matrix]

2016 humor

[silent matrix]

Thx

[teal yarrow]

is it me or is ark just crashing after some sort of download? like right on start-up basically

[elfin hearth]

No problem and thanks.

[tough yarrow]

No problem

[dusk saffron]

How come my Ark status says “Healthy” as in healthy connection and all the servers say “N/A” and I can’t join any?

[elfin hearth]

"N/A" as in unavailable or NA as in North America?

[dusk saffron]

It says N/A on the ping

But it’s always been like this, only game it won’t let me play in servers/online.

[elfin hearth]

Error message when you try to join?

[dusk saffron]

Yes.

“failed to find address” or something

[vivid tendon]

why is scorched earth and some other dlcs i can’t get

on steam

[rich root]

Is a dire bear useful?

At all

[neon rampart]

They are in bundles now.

[neon rampart]

On Abb, very good starter tames, and they're also good for honey.

[vivid tendon]

are the ones in bundles the only ones that add new creatures?

[neon rampart]

No.

Fjordur has a majority of DLC creatures and it's free.

[vivid tendon]

ah ok

[rich root]

Wait i heard they have really good insulation

[silent matrix]

That’s cringe

[grave needle]

Starter kits are very common

[vivid tendon]

does ragnarok have any new creatures too?

[neon rampart]

Yes, it has Scorched Earth creatures most notably.

[vivid tendon]

ah

so your saying that a game has dlcs that aren’t just cool item skins?

[neon rampart]

Yeah, none of the DLCs are cosmetic.

And the best part of this game, all the paid DLC creatures are available on free maps.

Only a very small percentage of dinos aren't available on free maps.

[vivid tendon]

i’ve heard there are space whales in genesis

[neon rampart]

There are. They're pretty terrible tbh.

[vivid tendon]

can i get those for free too?

[neon rampart]

I don't think so but they're terrible anyways so whatever.

I wish you could get Gen2 creature from the lunar biome on Fjordur but whatever. Take what you can get, I guess.

[vivid tendon]

ok

[jagged imp]

Do u need a recipe item for the broth of enlightenment or can u make it without?

[neon rampart]

Without. Recipe just tells you how to make it.

[jagged imp]

Noice

[ruby raven]

hello. have problems for join to servers?

[opal shadow]

yes

On what platform are you?

[chilly scarab]

Also useful on ab to farm organic polymer. 🙂

[ruby raven]

steam pc. was in ext. now disconnect and try join to gen2.

[chilly scarab]

Did you buy Genesis dlc?

[ruby raven]

buyed all dlcs in 2accounts xD

[chilly scarab]

Maybe try #customer-support

[grave needle]

Whats the issue? Will it not load?

[silent matrix]

Best way to get hide?
and what’s the best wood gathering dino?

[steep solar]

3x Uber lag... so awesome, but unplayable :(

[silent matrix]

its a decent travel mount, good speed and weight, and its the best honey harvester

[silver dock]

heyo. I am trying to figure out which of my stats got mutated. narrowed it down to either MS or Melee. How do I calcualte the melee stat of an (unleveled but tamed) dino of which I know the taming efficiency?

[waxen swift]

i'm having a weird problem, when i trie to join my friends server it says: lost/timedout connection to the host. how can i solve this?

[full oriole]

best wood gatherer is probably a beaver. best way to get hid is mostly just killing dinos, just go on a killing spree with a carnivore

[dusk saffron]

Anyone on console know how to fix the K&M running glitch?

^ without reseting game

[silent matrix]

is dilo ok for that?

[full oriole]

with a dilo you'd probably want them to kill the dino but you harverst the corpse with either metal hatchet or a chainsaw if you can get your hands on that

[exotic mulch]

Sabertooth or direwolf for hide and wood is 50/50. Some people prefer the mammoth because it has more weight

[silent matrix]

I only have stone hatchet sadly
how can I make my dilo not eat the corpse?

[exotic mulch]

The hide will just end up in its inventory

[exotic mulch]

@silent matrix

[silent matrix]

ik Will it be the normal amount as I would get from axe tho?

[exotic mulch]

I think. I'm unsure tho

[silent matrix]

Ok thanks i think I’ll try and tame a mammoth when I get a flier and can go to the snow area

[full oriole]

i don't know what efficiency a dilo has for harvesting tbh

[exotic mulch]

Personally I prefer the beavers because there faster and they do have a weight reduction but a high level mammoth is still better with the weight

[exotic mulch]

It may just be all bonehead has

[silent matrix]

yeah it is the only meat eater I got

[exotic mulch]

Should try and tame some raptors

[silent matrix]

I’m gonna try and get some real raptors tho

[silent matrix]

Yeah I can make the saddle so I want too

also I’m going to trap and tame a spino that’s by my base

[exotic mulch]

What map are you on?

[silent matrix]

so that’s gonna be hugeee for my hide gains

[silent matrix]

The island

[fervent raft]

What does enabling the active event: summer, do?

[exotic mulch]

I don't think I've ever tamed a spino on the island. On aberration 100% but that's because there is so much of them

[silent matrix]

I watched a guide on how to trap em

it’s just a giga trap

like, literally the same

[full oriole]

enables summer colors i think is all it does

[exotic mulch]

I just use 4 behemoth gates, flak armour to tank a hit or 2 and lure it in

[fervent raft]

Oh okay, any particular color scheme of dinos that look good?

I found a beautiful black and blue tek rex the other day

[exotic mulch]

Summer = worst event. Who agrees?

[fervent raft]

I don't use behemoth gates to trap gigas, I find using 4 metal gateways enough

[exotic mulch]

Oh you don't use behemoth gates for gigas. Don't think that will fit a giga and if it can it will chew right through it but behemoth gates can trap Rex, spino and all those

[fervent raft]

So do normal gateways

They can't go over them

[silent matrix]

I’m gonna use pillars

Stone pillars

[fervent raft]

Gigas can't damage metal, but they can to stone

So 4 stone gateways for every large carnivore except for the giga, for gigas use 4 metal gateways and a large bear trap

It's much easier to hit it's head since the top half of the gigas body is exposed

[exotic mulch]

Never ever tamed a giga. 1k hours on ark and no giga

[fervent raft]

Oh

It's surprisingly easy

I haven't tamed one one console yet, but I have multiple times on mobile

[exotic mulch]

I've just never had a use for a giga. That will probs be an extinction thing

[fervent raft]

That is true, they're more of a flex tame more than anything

[exotic mulch]

A flex tame? You mean by running out of stam so fast

[fervent raft]

That's why we only tame high level gigas

"Go high or go home" a guy once said

[exotic mulch]

I'm just gonna be waiting to extinction when I am preparing for the bosses there to tame gigas

[fervent raft]

Yea

I'm waiting for a sale on the season pass

[slate widget]

thats there only real use on PvE. and missions on genesis I guess

[exotic mulch]

I bought it around Christmas time

[fervent raft]

Huh, maybe on other holidays I should keep an eye out if the season pass gets a discount

Im 5 bucks short lol

[slate widget]

it goes on sale all the time. does playstation have a wishlist? should say if it goes on sale then.

[exotic mulch]

Haha

[fervent raft]

I don't think there is one

I'll check later

[glad grotto]

Alrighty so I've been having severe stuttering issues on my LAN dedicated server. I've narrowed down the issue to riding dinos and rendering something but whatever it is it's client side, as my siblings on the lan server have no issues. This is happening exclusively on fjordur. Anyone know what's going on or if this is a known issue?

[fervent raft]

Iirc it was on sale a few months ago

[exotic mulch]

I spent $200 on ark. That's buying myself and my mate the entire game. That's with all dlcs

[slate widget]

you can buy the entire game with all DLCs for 60$ now :P

[proud grove]

Have enough RAM and hard drive space?

[exotic mulch]

I have plenty. My mate is lacking tho

[safe mist]

How much ram does your mate have?

[exotic mulch]

He has plenty ram. Not enough storage

[safe mist]

Try an external HDD

[exotic mulch]

Um...why do you think I bought him the game? It's because he broke. He ain't buying 1

[safe mist]

I have a 4TB HDD cause mine is a m.2 and don’t have enough to buy a second one for it

[grave needle]

When did ark cost $100?

[safe mist]

About a year ago

[exotic mulch]

I have a 1tb hdd and 500gb ssd but planning to buy another hdd sometime soon

[exotic mulch]

$110 asd

[grave needle]

Oh ok, was gonna say

[torn sage]

where do gigas spawn

[safe mist]

Which map?

[exotic mulch]

Like mountainous areas or meadows or something like that

[torn sage]

The Island

[exotic mulch]

Mountains then

[grave needle]

They're kinda rare on the island, look around mountains and way at the top of the mountains without snow

[torn sage]

what mountain is the most guranteed

[safe mist]

Near blue obi or the mountain across from it and volcano near carno island

[grave needle]

None is guaranteed, they aren't super common

[torn sage]

somone on chat already said they got kiled by a giga but they did not say where

[exotic mulch]

Next to Volcano and north east mountain are the ones where I see the most

[torn sage]

alr

[safe mist]

Yes what he said

[exotic mulch]

Also the Volcano sometimes

[safe mist]

I haven’t seen one near volcano unless it’s on black sands

[exotic mulch]

I've seen 1 on the Volcano before

[grave needle]

Are you going to try to tame it, and are you familiar with how giga taming works?

[exotic mulch]

Taming sucks because it drains in torpor very fast.

[safe mist]

It wakes up in 2 minutes exactly if it’s official

[grave needle]

True, but also just making sure he isn't about to waste 400 tranqs on something that's going to tame up to be as good as a level 70 rex lol

[fervent raft]

Also idk if my ark is broken or what, but I have seen a shit ton of alphas

[grave needle]

Fjordur? They're common

[safe mist]

On the new map?

[fervent raft]

3 alpha carnos, 3-4 alpha raptors and I shit you not, 2 alpha rexes on the SAME DAMN MOUNTAIN

[torn sage]

no i'm gonna kil it for exp

[fringe acorn]

I got a server made from g portal and I have a issue where the fjord hawk is not tameable how can I fix this

[fervent raft]

On the Island

[grave needle]

Oh ok well be careful, they have a minimum 80k hp and will one shot kill you

[torn sage]

it's my first week on ark idk if i can tame a giga

[safe mist]

Oh yea are you near the volcano near a valley and water fall?

[torn sage]

nvm even a titan would be easier

[exotic mulch]

Honestly megatherium is the way to go for that because there are plenty of scorpions to get its buff from

[grave needle]

Taming a giga is much easier than killing one

[fervent raft]

Wheres that?

[torn sage]

how much tranq darts i need

[exotic mulch]

Hundreds

[safe mist]

Above the area where the sand meets the snow on the west side

[grave needle]

Hundreds. Don't tame it if it isn't at least level 100 or the stats will be absolute garbage

[fervent raft]

No

[exotic mulch]

You could tame it then kill it

[safe mist]

That’s pretty uncommon but alphas do travel across the map

[grave needle]

True. Or just tame a breeding pair and kill infinite gigas lol

[fervent raft]

They're all in the redwoods area :/

And I live right next to it

[grave needle]

Yeah the redwoods generally have a ton of alphas

[fervent raft]

Thank God the alpha rexes are the farthest

[exotic mulch]

Or just don't tame 1 on the island because there only use is to tell other people that you have just wasted so much of your life taming something that isn't that good on the island

[fervent raft]

I plan on levelling up my important dinos by killing them

The carnos for my rex and raptor for my argy

And I've been seeing high levels recently :/

On the island too

[grave needle]

Don't underestimate alpha rexes

They'll tear even the best raptors to shreds in seconds

And they're the fastest land creature on the map so you won't be able to outrun them

[exotic mulch]

Imagine not killing an alpha Rex with an argy

[grave needle]

Easy to get killed doing that lol

[exotic mulch]

Just 1 argy that has been bred from 2 good parents and fully imprinted could easily do it

[grave needle]

Eh maybe a low level

[exotic mulch]

Even a high

[proud grove]

It'll be tough with a primitive saddle

unless you keep leaving to regain health

[grave needle]

Nah. A level 10 alpha rex has 52k health and 250 damage per hit

Argys are good but they'll have less health and do less damage than that, plus they have slower turning and have to keep Stam in mind

[proud grove]

my 1000 melee imprinted argy was only doing around 330 damage

[full oriole]

Pretty sure gigas give the most amount of meat per kill unless i've been massively misinformed

[grave needle]

A level 150 alpha rex has 370k health and 8.7k damage per hit lol

Basically fighting a God mutated giga

[exotic mulch]

Maybe you are just not goated at the game which is why you can't do it

[grave needle]

Lmao

[exotic mulch]

By the time I need an alpha Rex I'll have a God Rex. Gonna have 19 254 health and melee mutation Rex army

[tall solar]

Does anyone have a good level Arthropluera egg (if that exists) for sale? I am willing to pay Poly

[exotic mulch]

It does exist

[grave needle]

That's different than killing it with a single unmutated argy lol.

[proud grove]

just a little different

[tall solar]

That's good. Now just to find a seller LOL

Because I heard they're terribly hard to tame especially in the cave

[light dome]

The ferox aren’t respawning on fjordur what should I do

[weak ledge]

Can I get chibis from the summer bash event somehow?

[real minnow]

Recommended character stats for single player ?

[grave needle]

300 health, 200 Stam, 120 movement, 20 fort, everything else in weight

[silent matrix]

If you pick them up and drop them in the water they won't attack you and all you gotta do is just passive tame it after that

[grave needle]

Leave render and wait a few game days

[light dome]

Does “render” just count as unloading the cave or should I go further?

[grave needle]

Unloading the cave should be fine but wouldn't hurt to go far away for a while to be safe

[tall solar]

Yeah but unfortunately not very good at taming things. Breeding is another story so I usually am looking for an egg because a friend of mine wants to raise a Arthropluea and me giving him a tamed one wouldn't be the same

[subtle field]

250 HP, 260 stam, 150 movement, 250-300 weight, 160 craft skill, leftover points into fortitude

[tall solar]

Hey Dr. Heinz. Is that a platypus with a hat?

[subtle field]

not that i can see

[subtle field]

yes
10 prime meat jerky in a cooking pot

[tall solar]

@subtle field .......

[subtle field]

Perry the platypus?!!

shit, MvM match is ready

time to piss off high tours while i play as pyro

[tall solar]

@subtle field I couldn't resist changing my name once just to hear you say that

If it wasn't for my video games that this gamertag is linked to. I would change my name to Captain Obvious

[proud grove]

what to level up on deinonychus?

[grave needle]

Health, Stam, Weight, melee

[wispy frigate]

What? 150 alpha rex has 91k health and does 348 damage per hit
Not sure where you got those numbers

[slow sedge]

Thank you @cunning kernel And @leaden cliff sorry for the late appreciation I really am thankful

[grave needle]

Per the wiki:
Base health 17.5k, +3.5k per level
Base melee 170, +8.5 per level
100 * 3.5k = 350k
100* 85 = 8.5k
350k+17.5 = 367.5k
170+8.5k = 8.67k

Oops, that was for 100, not 150

[wispy frigate]

Where in the world did you get 100 points from

[grave needle]

Oh jeez, yeah I misunderstood

[wispy frigate]

Also thats not how the melee works

[grave needle]

I was inputting creature level, not stat level lol

And yeah it is, certain creatures have a linear increase per wild level and alpha rexes are one of them

[wispy frigate]

The wiki lists the damage
You need to find the melee value (100 base and +5 per point for 99% of creatures) then take that percentage of the base stat

[grave needle]

It's 170 base damage, not 170%. 170% damage from a level 1 would make no sense

[wispy frigate]

Thats… exactly what I said

And you’re doing the exact opposite of what I said

[grave needle]

Then you're misunderstanding lol

[wispy frigate]

No? You can’t just multiply the damage values and add

[grave needle]

It's 170 base damage plus 8.5 damage per level

Not melee%

[slender ingot]

I just found out you can get element shards from the ab cave with a mining drill!

[grave needle]

I was wrong about the levels, but the stat per level was correct

[wispy frigate]

Again
Exactly what I’m saying

[slender ingot]

Mine the rocks that don't look special, you get congealed gas and shards

[grave needle]

...that's the calculation I did my man

Whats 8.5 times 100 (I know the 100 is wrong but the methodology is correct)

[wispy frigate]

I suppose, yes you can do that
But it doesn’t get you anywhere when actually calculating the rest of the stats

[grave needle]

Jesus ok nvm I need to sleep

Ignore me lol

[sour fog]

Is there anything important on the east side of the island? I'm planning to setup a permanent base on this cliff in a central-western area which puts me very far from the east side.

[grave needle]

Plenty of caves

[sour fog]

Are caves important?

[grave needle]

Extremely

Necessary to do in order to fight bosses

[sour fog]

O

[slender ingot]

No need to go to magmasaur cave for shards on fjordur

[subtle field]

its hella worth it though

[sour fog]

Damn finding a permanent base location is hard

[grave needle]

You want to be centrally located ideally

[quasi wind]

Is this a trading discord

[sour fog]

I mean I'm located center-west

[compact sinew]

Help

I accidentally transferred my character to a map i don't have

[sour fog]

All the base locations in yt vids are far away from resources or they way too dangerous to clear out

[compact sinew]

Did I lose my character?

[grave needle]

You're gonna be doing a lot of traveling for resources. That's why being centrally located is ideal. And those spots with good resources have dangerous creatures. It's not going to be a breeze

[sour fog]

Yeah igg. Thats why the redwoods are located at the center of the map lol

[spring bane]

Anyone looking for a new tribe m8?

[grave needle]

Redwoods honestly aren't great for resources tbh. A little further northwest is preferable. Volcano for metal and obsidian, icebergs for oil, you're golden

[hybrid zephyr]

fix freaking empty fjordur map

[safe aurora]

I swear like I can't find anything anywhere on fjordur even on singleplayer idk maybe I am stupid

[grave needle]

That's weird, most people are having the opposite happen

[brittle onyx]

wdym?

[safe aurora]

Like resources

Maybe just made my base in a bad spot

[winged kernel]

ive seen people starting off with chibi's how is that possible?

[sour fog]

I tried setting up base in the area you suggested. There were a bunch of raptors that slayed 2 trikes. And a carno thats stuck in the rocks. And along with 50 dilos roaming the area lol. I died cuz I hitting the button on the side of my mouse again my monitor stand which dismounted me from my ptera and I died to piranhas

[grave needle]

Yeah it doesn't really sound like you're ready for a long term base

Raptors, trikes, dilos, and piranhas are all very early game threats. So still a ways to go

[urban kite]

I have a nice base at the hidden lake

[silent matrix]

BR????????

[little thunder]

im new to ark whats the best place to get started

[flint raven]

are Leedsichthys on fjordur?

[umbral wave]

raptor is still easily my favorite dino in this game

[winged hound]

When are the developers gonna optimize their game, God Forbid

[umbral wave]

the game runs fine

[winged hound]

Homie nah

[umbral wave]

aside fjordur that crashes every 3 seconds

[winged hound]

Lost island crashes everytime I try to apply my new settings

[umbral wave]

fjordur is basically unplayable

[winged hound]

I get really low frames for some reason, it feels like im playing on a ps2

[umbral wave]

for whatever reason i can load a new world on fjordur but then i cant load it a 2nd time, it just gives fatal errors

[winged hound]

So the game just casually freezes for 3 seconds

[umbral wave]

PC version is likely most optimized out of the 3

[winged hound]

Playstation is the worst optimized out of them

Tbh it feels like playstation is barely hanging on to ark

[umbral wave]

i get some lag sometimes on PC, but thats only after like 30000 dinos have been spawned on the map

[winged hound]

I get frame rate drop if I try to fly fast on any dinos that fly

My ping is just fine

Im suffering with frame rate drop

[umbral wave]

thats brutal

[winged hound]

Ik and it crashes so many damn times, it crashed like 6 times in these 3

Hours

[umbral wave]

im tryna figure out why i cant play a fjordur world twice. it keeps erroring out on PGS_Supplycrates

and idfk why everyone else can play fjordur with 0 crashes

[winged hound]

Just imagine getting all the resources and the dinos back, I even lost one of my best dinos because of these damn continuous crashes

[umbral wave]

oh i lost almost everything because a boss punched me into the orbit of extinction i lost the dino and instantly died without a second to spare. i was so far gone there was no death marker on the minimap

[winged hound]

Goddamn you experienced a mortal kombat finisher my boy😂😂

[umbral wave]

ive had so much set backs from crashes

yeah the boss was from a mod called pugnacia. for steam only, he has abilities that can launch your smaller dinos as far as he wants. i had no problem before because his punches would just make me hit a wall of the destroyed extinction city, but this time he decided to launch me up

it was a perfect tame rare dino too

[winged hound]

I lost a full set of armor and weapons along with ammo and alot of damn metal

[umbral wave]

oh yeah i had like 100k metal on this gryphon. was on him when we died

[winged hound]

Just wish we could get some optimization

[umbral wave]

the boss got me so annoyed i got back to base. grabbed my raptor army. i lured the boss into a small hole he couldnt do anything in. i whistled my 50 raptors and we shredded him

yeah, i get lag sometimes too, but not all much

[winged hound]

Goddamn 50 raptors!!

[umbral wave]

it was probably more

[winged hound]

Why you need that much raptors

[umbral wave]

pugnacia gives them a broken asf pack buff

[winged hound]

Oh

[little thunder]

Pugnacia?

[umbral wave]

a steam mod

[winged hound]

Is your pfp Piccolo?

[umbral wave]

the demon king!

[winged hound]

Indeed

[umbral wave]

but yeah ive been breeding raptors to get them 200 hp and 200 melee

[winged hound]

I got a question

[umbral wave]

?

[winged hound]

How do I get an indominus?

If it even exists

[umbral wave]

its not in vanilla

[winged hound]

Oh goddamn I wanted to try that

[umbral wave]

various mods have indominus related things

[long flicker]

it's a modded creature
also, get a role #role-assignment

[winged hound]

Oh ok thanks

[umbral wave]

pugnacia has a primeval indominus rex. its terrifying

i know what ima do for a final day on pugnacia extinction

ima create like something from endgame good dinos vs bad dinos

[acoustic sluice]

ארק

[umbral wave]

i think thanos's army should have the reapers

it would definitely take a lot to take down 100 reaper queens

[vital cliff]

whats the name of the furry raptor that clings to walls

[marble musk]

Hello

[misty turtle]

Deinonychus

[silent matrix]

4 hours of hunting today, I got a female ovis- only my veggie cake spoiled during my hunt… Carried it across the map, Argy style, plopped it next to my secondary base near the redwoods, made a new cake, and finally got it tamed… now I need a male

I’m doing a Noah’s ark run and need a breeding pair of everything

[full oriole]

i know someone that did that, though they unfortunately quit a bit too early. i hope you can stick with it

[silent matrix]

I’m doing baby mode though- I’ve got Dino damage set to zero cus I’m still learning what things do and all that, so it isn’t a real challenge- I’m still learning the dinos, the location and such… the biggest pain so far is ducks… I got one and took a break from that

[full oriole]

if doing it on the island, ovis feels way too rare compared to other maps. sheep should be a common animal but it isnt

[silent matrix]

I am on island and yes!!! I caught a male before I learned I need special cake- dropped it in a big building, but in the three hours it took me to craft a tree platform for getting sap, and honey to make the cake(luckily I already have a thriving greenhouse) and fly back to the other base where I trapped it, it despawned

I’ve been looking for days and have seen two- my original male and this now tamed female

[full oriole]

yeah unfortunately if you arent rendering the wild dino, it does tend to either despawn or walk off if its far away from its spawn

[silent matrix]

Yup, that’s why I flew this one out to my redwood beach base

[delicate dove]

Gg

[naive thicket]

Who trying play? New start?

[tall yoke]

does anyone know how to fix ark stuck on loading "Primalgamedate_bp"?
Currently on Microsoft Store Ark and have already tried deleting and reinstalling

[umbral wave]

u just have to wait for like 5-10 minutes then it'll resume loading

[tall yoke]

my ark also freezes before that though as well

[umbral wave]

yes it does that for me too

[tall yoke]

like e.g im in the settings menu

is it meant to happen like that

[umbral wave]

i mean, it happens to me all the time but i still can load my world

[tall yoke]

microsoft ark right

[umbral wave]

i dont think im on microsoft

[tall yoke]

yea cs it works fine on epic but

really trashy on microsoft, but im tryna play wit a friend on xbox so

[umbral wave]

yeah u just have to wait for a few minutes

[zealous forge]

how does one even build a cliffside piping system

well, correctly at least

I got lazy and spammed flexibles and now it looks like something out of where's my water

[small lark]

How long will the event last again?

[umbral wave]

whats special about the event?

[silent matrix]

July 15 1pm Pacific is when it ends

Mainly the colors and 3x

Or the skins if you like em

@small lark @umbral wave

[glossy sierra]

how can i avoid thyla?

[umbral wave]

ah ic

[silent matrix]

Can't really avoid unless you run fast enough or can kill lol

[umbral wave]

something weird ive noticed about reddit, if someone blocks you and you try to block them back it says you cant. wack

[silent matrix]

Run fast enough grab agro and run away

Yes someone can build as close as possible which would then stop you because of the claim distance for their base

[glossy sierra]

i wanna tame a rex, theres none in black sand and carno island, low level in mountaints and its too steep for a trap. it only leaves me to redwoods, which i hate cuz i almost die by a thyla before

[silent matrix]

What map and official?

[glossy sierra]

the island

[silent matrix]

Check dms

[wraith patio]

Anyone know how to fix getting a fatal error for lost island when loading into regular island

[open cloak]

is compound bow good?

[wraith patio]

Was fine yesterday this update messed up my island world

[silent matrix]

Very

[rich salmon]

can you transfer to maps on sp?

[umbral wave]

from what i know, only fjordur is getting fatal error crashes

[wraith patio]

Weird

Every time I load into the island it says fatal error and all the details about it say lost island

[umbral wave]

can u create a new version of that same map? cuz when it comes to fjordur for me, i can make a new fjordur world but i cant load it a second time

[wraith patio]

Tried verifying file integrity but that didn’t fix it

It’s single player so I don’t think so

[umbral wave]

if ur getting fatal crashes like this in the world cannot even load. theres no choice but to delete. it ive had to do this for fjordur like 10 times to the point im just back to extinction

ur not playing any mods right?

[wraith patio]

Some but they’re all updated and aren’t very big

[umbral wave]

it can be any mod

[glossy sierra]

if you do a dino wipe, will it kill your tamed dino?

[full oriole]

you can via the wipe player data option if in single player

[full oriole]

depends how you do it, destroywilddinos just does wild dinos

[glossy sierra]

k

[maiden tiger]

Is basilosaur healing percentage or just a certain number

Cause I wanna know if increasing hp will make it heal faster

[full oriole]

fairly sure its percent based, since it heals faster the higher up you are, and actually damages you if you are too low. just guessing tho

[maiden tiger]

Ahk

[silent matrix]

90 minutes later, grabbed my male ovis

And accidentally killed it

[errant peak]

Fuck gen 2 and the fucking gen 2 mesh

My inventory got nuked for apparently getting sent to the meshrooms

[pastel latch]

ive put re-fertilizer on the s+ hatchery and activated it but it still says unpowered, what do i need to do still?

[errant peak]

who the fuck decided mesh-deleting an offline person was a good idea

i am mildly angered

[dire swan]

Yo, is there a setting to speed up maturation speed?

[errant peak]

read the settings

[dire swan]

im an idiot, just saw it

[somber oxide]

whenever I use the giveallexplorernote command it just crashes my game. I get the notes, but not the ability to level up any further

[dire swan]

hahah sorry

[rich salmon]

cause you level 105 most likely

[somber oxide]

I'm level 170

[rich salmon]

then you have to complete bosses and level up chibi to get higher levels

[somber oxide]

I have done both already

[rich salmon]

then you max level?

[somber oxide]

No because it says I can get 10 more levels if I collect all explorer notes, so I used the giveallexplorernote command but I do not get any more levels

[rich salmon]

can you transfer to another map in sp?

[silent matrix]

yes

[rich salmon]

how?

i forgot how to transfer

[silent matrix]

just put everything in ark data and upload your survivor, then go to host/local and choose the other map, click upload survivor and ur good

thats a summery want me to go in depth?

[rich salmon]

i cant transfer the normal way?

where i go to obelisk and choose

[silent matrix]

no you cant, its not a server

yes go to obelisk

[rich salmon]

can i upload my whole base there?

[silent matrix]

no

[rich salmon]

cause i want to move my base to rag

[wintry jolt]

Build new base

[silent matrix]

get an exo mek and pick everything up

[rich salmon]

i need my fabricator and stuff

[silent matrix]

do you have s+

[wintry jolt]

Bruh just rebuild

[rich salmon]

yes

[silent matrix]

is the fabricator s+

[rich salmon]

i aint that rich boy

[rich salmon]

everything is s+

[silent matrix]

get the gun at lvl 1 and switch it to pickup and pick it up

then put it in ark data and upload

[rich salmon]

yea but is there a cap to what i can upload?

[silent matrix]

yes

100

or 50 i cant remember

[rich salmon]

does it work with stacking mod?

[silent matrix]

not sure

it might bug out

[ember condor]

@rich salmon you can gather the resources to build a new base, then construct the structures and place then in a vault. Then you go to your place in eag and place a bed and a vault. Then u get all ur builds and transfer to that rag server and spawn with them and put them in the vault. Then you can build a new base

[rich salmon]

i play sp

[silent matrix]

fork go to DM

[ember condor]

Uffff

Then place a mannequin load

[heady hare]

Hey can someone help me with the ark? every time i turn it on it crashes me with a lostisland map error in the menu

[dire swan]

you updated?

[heady hare]

yep

[dire swan]

rebooted?

[heady hare]

yep

I reinstalled and still

Delete all mods too

[dire swan]

thats the extent of my tech support haha

[heady hare]

Heh okey thanks 😅

[steel charm]

Can you pick up tek dedicated storages

[dusky tulip]

Can you tame the X-Rock Elemental found around the magmasaur nests on Fjordur?

[full oriole]

Without mods, the only way to do so is if youve unlocked exo mek

[silent matrix]

can anyone help me with my audio issue, its so choppy

[elfin hearth]

Probably, imo

[neat zephyr]

there red smoke from my raptor and green jaw symbol , what does it means

[dire swan]

pack leader?

[tawdry fulcrum]

is any one having issues with wild dinos not spawning in fjordur?

[elfin hearth]

Oh wait, is it a regular X-Rock Elemental, or is it a Brute X-Rock Elemental?

[umbral wave]

do u guys prefer x dinos or regular dinos?

[full oriole]

ive heard that they are despawning pretty fast

[full oriole]

Depends on the dino, i like some of the different regions on x dinos, and some of them have nice glow effects like x basils or x megaladons

[elfin hearth]

What are the disadvantages in breeding a high level dino with a low level dino, assuming I get the main stats I want (e.g. melee & health)?

[sonic vale]

Does anyone think that Genesis 1 is a little aggressive? The "easy" difficulty spawns you in a swamp with alligators (sarco's or whatever) immediately attacking and killing you almost instantly.

[umbral wave]

x-raptors are rlly cool but i hate how the yellow coloring cant change

[full oriole]

highest stat has a 55% chance of passing on, equally a 45% chance of the small stat passing on, so you might have to work to keep the stats that you want, but there are no disadvantages that i can think of, you typically want to breed with a low level dino for mutation stacking

[umbral wave]

breeding a high level and a low level is actually the best idea

[full oriole]

one disadvantage isjust based on them being different levels, makes it hard to tell what stats mutated sometimes

[elfin hearth]

Sounds like by getting high health & melee from a Thyla pair, I'm probably good with that baby as the next parent, assuming I keep those stats

[umbral wave]

gert are u on fjordur?

weird

ive never used a thyla before

[tawdry fulcrum]

ya but on my server there isnt dinos at all

only people

and sea creatures are becoming less and less

[silent matrix]

Finally, got my male ovis

[full oriole]

nice

[rich salmon]

i just lost like20 creatures transfering to rag

[brisk imp]

Yes

[dusky tulip]

Regular, they can be found around the Magmasaur nests

[heavy marten]

someone wanna trade in small tribe pc?

[vague sand]

Are the element notes and gen2 glitched I can't farm them with stryder

[toxic river]

what is a good way to get the temperature up? I mean I got some acs running but its just around 5C

[main nimbus]

if you want the temp up maybe don't have air conditioning?

[silent matrix]

You get a lower lvl. It‘s usefull on taming limits

[silent matrix]

Fire xd

[main nimbus]

Or build out of adobe

Wait nvm Adobe is for cool

[silent matrix]

Yep

Would be dumb on SE

[main nimbus]

thatch lul

I'm pretty sure metal gives you the best insulation besides tek but I can't remember

[violet rivet]

you are able to tame them, yes.

[cinder copper]

is there like a progression guide for the island?

[surreal burrow]

Guys I need help I'm playing on a non dedicated server with my friend and I am the host and whenever we bring a land dino to the water and it starts swimming it will go at light speed is there any fix to this please

[toxic river]

fix? for a fast travel option?

no... in all seriousness I have no idea. I did not even know that was a thing

[bronze sluice]

never really made a focus on getting n otes before, and I'm going for the notes now.

holy crap you can't go 3 feet on the island without tripping over a note

[rotund elbow]

why the hell are wilds just disappearing on Fjordur..... got 40% through taming an event Andrewsaurus had it on tracking and it just vanished

[violet rivet]

this seems to be common at the moment,, make sure you file a ticket in #bug-reports

[rotund elbow]

that'll do nothing.... all the dinos are prepping to be 10 seconds dinos on Ark2

[violet rivet]

well, if you're not willing to put the effort in of reporting the problem, then it doesn't matter anyways.

[orchid stratus]

anyone able to offer help, an official server im on isnt showing up when i search up the id or just look through the servers allocated to it (ci)

[weary falcon]

Playing Fjordur. Thanks for the event but a few Dinos would be good. Dont have to go overboard just one or two.

[pseudo arch]

do u guys think i should play official servers or unofficial im new to ark

[orchid stratus]

unofficial has higher rates but official is more rewarding imo since when you grind out you feel like you've done it the proper way

[clear citrus]

official pve is the easy mode of ark

[orchid stratus]

would play pvp but it makes me shake and my heart goes crazy

[tranquil geyser]

Official is the developers server unofficial is community servers

[pseudo arch]

so i should start off with pve or pvp official

[orchid stratus]

pve if you wanna learn

[weary falcon]

Unofficial gets boring. Ppl increase all the rates and makes it too easy. I switched to Official and wont go back.

[orchid stratus]

pvp for pvp

[violet rivet]

what is the server number

[orchid stratus]

pvp is more about knowing the fastest ways to fuck other people UP!!!

[orchid stratus]

877

[tranquil geyser]

PvE is players vs environment and pvp is players vs playes

[clear citrus]

farming on official pve is easy af.. you just need to know what you're doing and you have endless resource with little effort

[orchid stratus]

same for pvp but there are other people and higher rates

[violet rivet]

it's been offline for 13 hours

[glad grotto]

Turn down host tether. For whatever reason If you set it too high it does that

[violet rivet]

make sure to file a report in #server-reports

[tranquil geyser]

I my opinion you should start on PvE unofficial

[orchid stratus]

i couldnt log on it last night but i thought it was a clientside issue

[orchid stratus]

ill make sure to do it, thanks for notifying me it was down not clientside

[surreal burrow]

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you so much

[glad grotto]

No problem

[violet rivet]

no worries,, in the future, you can check by typing in "battlemetrics ark" on google, then typing in your server number on their website.

[pseudo arch]

ight ill start with pve unofficial

[tranquil geyser]

But you got to find the server you like because everyone server is different

[surreal burrow]

What should I set it to tho cus I have it at like 9999999 or smthn what's the maximum it can go before it does that again

[pseudo arch]

how do i check to see the difference in server tho?

[clear citrus]

official is a simpler starting point to learn the game

[pseudo arch]

do i just gotta play it

[clear citrus]

go to official beginner pve server... that is a very good starting point

[tranquil geyser]

You join and most of the time they have they discord link show when you join and most discord display everything

[tranquil geyser]

Or look in #800537627752398899

[pseudo arch]

well ive played before like years ago on ps4 but just only properly started playing on pc so i know a bit about the game

[tranquil geyser]

If you look for a pc steam PvE cluster with some mods pm me

[pseudo arch]

i dont know how all the cluster servers and mods really work rn

[tranquil geyser]

Cluster are a group of map connect together where you can transfer and go and join

[pseudo arch]

so u wouldnt be able to go from say the island to ragnarok only pve the island serversa

[tranquil geyser]

Yes you could go to Ragnarok and tame a dino and bring it back to the island same for loot and resources

[orchid stratus]

say im on an offficial no extras crystal isles server and its pve i can transfer to any other map that is pve and has no additional info/extras

[clear citrus]

when you don't even know the game, why on earth would anyone start with cheats/mods/tweaks?

[pseudo arch]

oh thats handy as if there is a certain dino i want to get or something

[clear citrus]

make 0 sense

[tranquil geyser]

Yes because most maps have different dinosaurs

[glad grotto]

9999 is usually more than enough. Most maps are around 12km across so realistically unless you both were on a deep sea adventure on opposite ends of the map anything above 10km is usually excessive. If you really want you can set it to 20km and that'll be more than the diagonal length of any existing map

[tranquil geyser]

The hardest part is to find a unofficial server

[glad grotto]

I don't know what the maximum is though I've never tested it

[pseudo arch]

would it not be hard to find base spots in pve since people dont worry about getting raided

[surreal burrow]

9999 won't have that weird swimming speed thing?

[glad grotto]

Nope

[orchid stratus]

only hard to find base spots on pve when on the island

[tranquil geyser]

It depends if the server is new or old or has a lot of players

[glad grotto]

I forget what I used as mine. Either 9999 or 99999 one or the other

[pseudo arch]

all these servers on unofficial seem to have no players

[glad grotto]

You can try 99999 and see

[pseudo arch]

oh yeah i wont fo the island then

[tranquil geyser]

Most owner of server destroys old abandoned base

[tranquil geyser]

That's because there is many server

[pseudo arch]

there one on rag thats only on day 1 with 3 people

[clear citrus]

that is why it's good to start with the beginner servers.. you do your 1st 44 levels there and get some flyers and basic dinos.. then move out to normal pve servers

[pseudo arch]

ohhh ok

[clear citrus]

get familiar with the island map start getting into the story

[pseudo arch]

when i spawn should i try note run this guy says it best way to get levels

[tranquil geyser]

Yes

[tranquil geyser]

If you want to level fast then do it

[clear citrus]

although levels come pretty fast with just playing the game too

[pseudo arch]

yeah ill prolly get notes if i can level up fast

[clear citrus]

when I started on the beginner server, I maxed the levels just by building the barn for my dinos

no notes needed for that

[orchid stratus]

if you want to do note run just go on a normal less populated pve server

or you're not maxing out yo levels

[pseudo arch]

ight thanks

[umbral wave]

tryna get melee mutations takes a long time

[frigid ore]

I don't have a preserving bin yet, but if I put some rare mushrooms and flowers inside my dodo, will it eat it?

[hidden current]

Anyone run alpha Val or brood for hex points hmu rn

[full oriole]

I don't think they do, but they might if they dont have access to berries

[proven aurora]

Idk if Im allowed to ask here but does anyone where I can find the files for the ragnarok map? like the Ragnarok_A2_XXX the stuff with the numbers and underscores? because I looked into the content and map folder and its not there and my game crashes when loading ragnarok_A2_dungeon_element so I wanna check it out

[wet palm]

yo why does ark crash when i launch the app

i cant even join a world

[orchid stratus]

it's questionably optimized

[flint whale]

Dino spawns off in Fjordur official pve again. Redwoods have nothing but few pteras and gallimimus.

[lost cosmos]

why do some dinosaurs have fire on there back

[misty turtle]

Alpha

There some dinos when there group of them the one highest level will be the alpha

[rich salmon]

where do slilica spawn on rag?

[umbral wave]

wait why am i getting fatal errors about lost island when im not even trying to load lost island, nor do i even have lost island installed

[clear citrus]

on the ocean starting from west of green ob and south form there almost to the corner of the map.. at least there is a lot

[rich salmon]

so there is no pond like on the island where the snow starts?

[umbral wave]

i cant even load my extinction world anymore because im getting lost island fatal errors

[silent matrix]

are gigas even worth taming ? I had a lvl 300 giga that dealt 1,1k dmg but only 18k health, Im really thinking a good rex would shit on it

[umbral wave]

welp looks like another bug only im getting

thats upsetting

[leaden echo]

an imprinted giga would get 33k + hp. Wilds always have about 18k

[clear citrus]

try resource maps

[umbral wave]

is anyone able to load worlds right now?

[silent matrix]

noted

[silent matrix]

yo, so you get a random error/crash when u try to load in?

[umbral wave]

yes

its about lost island

[silent matrix]

it happend to me last night, try to verify ur games files

[umbral wave]

thing is ive already verified my files when trying to make fjordur worlds

[silent matrix]

did u search up the error?

[umbral wave]

i think theres been tons of reddit posts about this error

i think this error has something to do with summer bash

cuz my extinction world was working perfectly fine a few days ago

i really dont fancy starting over AGAIN

i already had to restart like 19 times trying to figure out what the hell is fjordurs problem

[silent matrix]

wait summer event started?

[umbral wave]

apparently

but seriously i got so far in my pugnacia playthrough and now i cant even play it anymore

[violet rivet]

it has,, it'll run from the 1st until the 15th

[lost cosmos]

But i found an allo with fire thats not alpha

[umbral wave]

idk wtf wildcard did but ark is all out of wack right now. nothings loading

and why the hell am i getting lost island errors when i dont even HAVE it installed, thats the damn part i dont get. how does that make sense

literally my entier breeding project down the drain because this game cant load a single hair of progress

[prime trout]

Does anyone know if the space dolphin and space whale are immune to radiation?

[cinder copper]

is campfire or furnace better for charcoal?

[prime trout]

Furnace definitely, produces one per second

[cinder copper]

ok ty

[umbral wave]

im amazed anyone can even load worlds right now

so yeah, wack how im getting lost island errors trying to load a completely different map

[full oriole]

what map is is that on

[silent matrix]

does anyone know when the pc conquest servers restart?

[silent matrix]

I think they are but no flyers allowed on ab

[prime trout]

Right but I was just asking for Genesis to try and answer the space biome

Only because I heard it was possible to fly with them

[median perch]

Anywhere know where is the summer bash Update? 🤨 🥺

[full oriole]

its in #announcements read the crunch. currently active

[misty turtle]

It alpha

There 2 type of alpha for normal creatures

Alpha in group of dinos and alpha creatures that give apex drop

[lost cosmos]

Fjordur

[frank orbit]

does anyone have a modded rag server thats high pop

[rapid karma]

i dunno if this is an extremely rare easter egg but i just created my character in a single player test world, normally the name would default to "Human" but this time it said "Bobette"

I know this was the default name at some point but not anymore

[median perch]

@full oriole @full oriole not in Germany..no Update yet 😪

[static fjord]

yep, still a rare chance to get bob and bobette

[steel charm]

What stats should I upgrade on yutis

[charred prism]

stam and health work best imo

[lost cosmos]

what should my next agressive land animal be after thylacoleo

btw im level 55

[haughty lily]

Wat do u want to do with this dino?

[lost cosmos]

kill

just kill basically

[haughty lily]

Like a levelled thyla is enough to traverse the map

Rexes might do the job

Or theris, allos

[lost cosmos]

something compact and fast though

[haughty lily]

The valguro feathered raptor is also good

[lost cosmos]

is it on fjordur

or on valguro

[haughty lily]

Idk about the new map but its on valguro near the chalk hills....

[lost cosmos]

k

[haughty lily]

but thylas are one of the best land creatures for traversing and they do decent damage too

[charred prism]

deinonychus spawn everywhere in fjordur

mostly in vannaland

[patent egret]

is there a reason for the realms to be nofly zones ?

[charred prism]

best map for em

[lost cosmos]

idc about tranversing i care about damage and speed on land

[charred prism]

i think they’re technically caves

[haughty lily]

Which ones?

[proper scroll]

can the Desmo catch megarabies?

[patent egret]

@haughty lilyall afaik

@charred prismtyvm

[haughty lily]

Traversing = agility, speed

[patent egret]

I'll just allow cave flying

[lost cosmos]

oh

[lost cosmos]

what about dinos that do a lot of damage and fast though

[haughty lily]

I haven't played the new map yet so i didn't know

[charred prism]

fair enough

[lost cosmos]

but smaller than rex

[charred prism]

allosaurus are pretty good

[lost cosmos]

same size tho

[charred prism]

have bleed in a pack

[charred prism]

aren’t they smaller?

[patent egret]

deinonychus is a real pleasure to ride, but meh damage

[lost cosmos]

not really

[charred prism]

ah ok

[haughty lily]

deinonychus and allos are pack creatures, u need to have atleast 2-3 of them for their buffs

[static fjord]

they are quite a bit smaller.

[patent egret]

@lost cosmosdeinonychus, raptor size, run fast, can climb, no fall damage, big jump, okish damage

[haughty lily]

But when u have dinos on follow u will be slowed down most of the time cause ark is like that

[static fjord]

you can get a shadowmane.

[lost cosmos]

i will look

[sour nexus]

Thyla, the feathered raptors, rock drakes, shadowmanes and that new pig

Those would probably be my top for traversing dinos that can kill stuff

[patent egret]

oh I need to test the Andrew

[haughty lily]

Shadowmanes would be good cause of the speed and good damage

[silent matrix]

can you transfer from a normal server to a conquest?

[charred prism]

shadowmanes are basically every creature in one

[haughty lily]

I just use a mana....

[sour nexus]

Andrews are amazing, especially with the saddle. Microraptors can't hit you, you have infinite oxygen and you're immune to ailments

[sour nexus]

They're not on fjordur

[haughty lily]

Whats is a andrew??

[static fjord]

andrewsarchus

[charred prism]

gun pig

[silent matrix]

can you transfer from a normal server to a conquest one???

can anybody help me why do i crash out almost every 30 min?

[static fjord]

daeodon 2.0 with a gun on fjordur

[sour nexus]

You can't get reapers on fjordur right?

[static fjord]

dont think so.

[charred prism]

not that i can find

maybe there’s some hidden cave somewhere

[static fjord]

i hope it isnt, fjordur doesnt need more dinos.

[charred prism]

fair point

i think shadowmanes were a stretch

[rigid thistle]

Hi

[fervent raft]

Heya, how do I go into 3rd person on console?

[rich salmon]

can dinos get fear roared when im not on them?

[steel charm]

Is there anything in Ark that actually stands a chance against a 19K dps giga

[rich salmon]

no

[cinder copper]

can u pick up an ankylo with an argentavis?

[rich salmon]

yes

[cinder copper]

k ty

[steel charm]

So should I just upgrade its weight now

[rich salmon]

idk i never actually got to tame one my self

[ruby root]

In the aberration cave Beiygjaheimr there is a red drop and a yellow drop

How long does it take to respawn

[ruby root]

Me
