Dam 😕 I didn’t really rejoin after the fix as I was/am busy with RL, and then didn’t feel like dealing with 250 ping at a base where I can’t build at anyways (helms deep)
Don’t really know what to do there atm, can’t breed/tame/build … xD

misty turtle
#

Have they make final r gigan yet?

#

Been so long i not look at market

misty turtle
#

May comeback my main back at gen2 soon

#

To do alpha mission

#

What sever have sell cheap creatures do you know yora if yes pls send me the link in DM

#

Still have some tek left

azure bridge
#

how many mutations do i need on my rexes to beat the alpha megapithicus ( i started with 41 points into mele and 28 into health) the baby rexes are level 221 and how many to beat the overseer and all orher bosses

static fjord
#

pliant locust

#

70% smth

static fjord
#

thats going to be a lot of mutating then. alpha megapithecus will be easy, broodmother will give you a tough time and alpha dragon is going to be so hard that you should just use theris instead

bitter ore
#

i really do not want to be here for long

misty turtle
#

I not do full volcano because people already farm all of them lucky get last 3 pile

azure bridge
#

ive been looking for high level theris for so long amd havent found one

pliant locust
#

Yea, just rotating all those locations is much more tedious / time intense, even during x3 i don’t like the extra boring grind on top now to 5 places or so

#

Tried in SP at least quickly by now ^^

misty turtle
#

I thinking get tek trans tek trough and some other stuff and leave the map

#

Go back and finish the mission to do alpha rockwell prime

#

Have gen2 good enough to do mission now

pliant locust
#

I just play it for now solo with ASM (given how broken SP is, that’s the only viable alternative for me) so I can at least enjoy the map itself 😛

misty turtle
#

Yeah fjodur is a good map

#

There a cave i still dont know what it for those

#

It have some bug and that all

Just learned what a frickity heck are boss fights in this game. I've never seen cheapiest crap with artificial difficulty. Heard of bosses, was excited, saw trailers like extinction with king titan and then I saw actual fight where most of the time dude with army of tames stays still in robot or on other titan mashing attack button while standing still and still barely makes it. Checked dragons, pretty much the same, one dino roaring all over while others charge another clunky boss which has trouble moving and attacking slowly.

silent matrix

#

aberration, gen 1 and 2 have actual fun bossfights that arent just spamming whistle attadk target and not doing anything

bitter ore
#

fr tho i can't find any ankys

#

went to half of the mountains there are and still none

static fjord
#

aberration forces you to circle around a boss, avoiding tentacle slams and electrocution, and destroying all the tentacles. once thats done, the bosses heart is exposed. repeat until death, the boss will summon nameless and reapers depending on how low its health is

#

its a huge arena which makes it unpractical to use an army of dinosaurs to destroy the tentacles, and the electrocution makes it not even worthwhile to bring something thats not your ridden dino

#

gen 1s bossfight is extremely difficult, hardest one there is. you need to kill corrupted avatars, pick up their keys (on foot, mind you) and survive through gigas, reapers, grenade throwing avatars, flying drones etc etc. bring the keys to a terminal and you break a piece of the bosses armour, continue that until you get to the final wave where you need to actually kill the boss

ripe spruce
static fjord
#

let me read it hold on

uneven heart
#

people the wyvern they ask for milk until they reach 10%?

static fjord
#

not true as in beta broodmother is actually hard, and it was 5 years ago which im pretty sure is back when the rates were actual garbage. you dont need to cheese any bossfights but you do need some good stats which can be pretty boring

#

nowadays theres a cheese for almost every bossfight if you dont feel like grinding, but some maps have fun bossfights which i highly recommend you try (specifically aberration and gen 1)

bitter ore
#

i mean ark is glitchy and will always be

#

and that is what makes it fun imo

misty turtle
ripe spruce
#

Is the "not cheese" requring me to make month long prep?

static fjord
#

with vanilla stats, yes. takes hours to breed a single dino

misty turtle
#

Which could be nice

#

For ark 2

static fjord
#

assuming you play like most people here who have a life (which is around maybe 50-100x maturation for most people), you wont need to waste months just for a single boss

misty turtle
#

Since we will have soul like combat

#

Dont play SE yet

#

Wait for it get the ending

i agree

Would mutated wolves be good for bosses since they can get a pack boost and you can give them helmets with hundreds of more armor points compared to most saddles?

i still think rexes would do better

they still have pretty low hp

True. I just did my first boss fight against the broodmother with my megatheriums and honestly it was pretty easy I wasn’t even in there for 5 minutes

i played it fjordur but I didnt really beat much of the bosses, I was just a collector

tender oasis
#

Fjordur is very nice yeah

plush sonnet
#

theres also valguero, lost island, crystal isles

#

check the unique tames and features of those maps and see what you like best

winged hound
#

I dislike lost island because of the frame drop I get there for some reason, I've had problems only on lost island

plush sonnet
#

maybe some of the earlier maps like the center or ragnarok would run better? idk

winged hound
#

Ill try Ragnarok

tender oasis
#

For bosses the island is probably the best map to defdeat them

winged hound
#

Seems cool

plush sonnet
#

only reason i wouldn’t do rag is because it might not have some of the newer game features but i guess you could just try to add em with admin commands

#

like some newer items and tames

and yes I use S+

delicate anvil
#

Are you familiar with doing S+ settings at all?

uneven haven
#

no

delicate anvil
#

You have to add the configs to your GameUserSettings.INI

#

Find where Steam is on your PC then: Steam > steamapps > common > ark > shootergames > saved > config > windowsnoeditor

#

You'll find the different places settings go in there.

#

Unless you rent a server, it's easier if you do. Lol

#

But anyways, you can find all of the configs linked on the S+ mod page.

#

You can go through and you just have to add the config lines that you wish to change at the bottom of your GUS.INI.

#

Ex.
[StructuresPlus]
NoFoundationsRequired=true
RemoveFloorRequirementFromStructurePlacement=true
EnableEngramOverride=true
AllowIntakeToPlaceWithoutWater=true

Why are you breeding before you have cryopods?

You should be like farming and taming

delicate anvil

Yeah, PVE has no player VS player shenanigans, but it also has other settings disabled as well.

Such as flyer carry, which I could never live without. Lol

Personally I'd say to start on SP as a noob, as much as I hate it.

wispy frigate
#

Why sp hate tho

real zenith
#

whats the best way to get exp after ascension

delicate anvil
#

Because I don't like having to have instant rates just to have a good time.

wispy frigate
#

Instant rates? Like breeding or harvesting or taming?

delicate anvil
#

Also SP is just like... notoriously more buggy, lol.

#

All of it.

#

Nothing happens offline so I can't play the way I like to.

#

Also hibernation.

wispy frigate
#

Can disable hibernation

#

But yeah I understand that

delicate anvil
#

Effort I don't want to have to go through. 😄

#

Plus the risk of it wiping, or the settings all reverting...

How yall breed Dinos? I mean normally it would take weeks to breed probably on official (20Stack Health clean and 20Stack Meelee Clean) or is there a trick? I watched many videos and they all explained it the same way.

delicate anvil
#

They all explain it that way because that's the way to do it. 😄

#

Find a guide that explains each step and just follow along.

#

Try dodos just to learn.

keen bloom

Get some maewings and honestly raising stuff will be the least of ur worries

#

Maewings also pretty much mass breed

acoustic anvil
#

Yeah, but I wanna breed probably, like 20Health Mut. Stacks, 20Stamina Mut. Stacks and 20Meelee Mut. Stacks. I mean why does the mega tribes can have so many "perfectly breeded Gigas in so quick? There must be a trick. Even there maybe 100 People in the tribe, the cool downs are still the same

Hey guys, I’ve noticed a lot of people playing on unofficial servers for boosted rates for Dino raising and I was wondering, how do you save your progress on ark single player in order to play on it for ps4, I tried playing single player but I kept on losing my progress

turbid sand
#

@inner karma can you hop in a call so I can explain it?

inner karma
#

Not at the moment

mint shell
#

Do I level up my stats randomly? I imagine there is a meta way to do it

turbid sand
#

Okay well if you go to single play and go to pick map if one of thw maps has an x on it it has progress saved on it so@don’t click the X click on the island name and make sure to save and quit instead of just turning of the PlayStation

what should it be at

also is there any way to make them spawn past level 150

bitter ore

yeah

thats what it does

you add it below server settings

never go above 10 or your game will crash, 5 gives you around 350 levels

ohh ok

so that changes the max level?

bitter ore

yeah

I just want more things to spawn at higher levels, because all i get is low levels regardless of the max levels

and makes the higher levels spawn more often
