I like the part that had a little bit of choir, reminded me of Aberration

balmy storm
#

Just listened to the gen 2 theme while going thru a car wash

#

It was surprisingly fitting

ornate hull
#

Shes also alot more rude

bronze turtle
#

yeah

#

"It should be idiot proo- uhhh.. I mean user friendly"

ornate hull
#

I was more thinking how she calls you out when you die

bronze turtle
#

oh yeah

#

I haven't died much though because rather I'm good at the game, or I'm afraid of the dangerous areas and just stayed away from those

ornate hull
#

Same

bronze turtle
#

doesn't she tell you to git gud

ornate hull
#

But the missions always fuck me over

ornate hull
bronze turtle
#

I miss HLN-A's old voice tbh, but they had to make it fit with the voice actor for the series or it wouldn't make sense

ornate hull
#

I just wish we had a option to got back to the old voice in gen 1

#

Gonna be honest they completely ruined the extinction cutscene for me it just sounds flat now

bronze turtle
#

yeah

#

atleast David Tennant is cool

ornate hull
#

Ya

heavy ivy
#

can we get a lore explanation for all this shit ass loot were getting this week 😔

ornate hull
#

Rockwell

bronze turtle
#

he Corrupted the loot systems on all of the ARKs

ornate hull
#

He hacked the drop drones and their shit now

bronze turtle
#

yeah, and to fix them you have to ride a Space Dolphin through a maze and take out Rockwell's minions

ornate hull
#

Ya

#

Or pay 4.99 a month for better drops

bronze turtle
#

EA

#

I liked all of Rockwell's lines on Gen2 but didn't like that many of HLN-A's lines, she has somewhat of a monotone voice now compared to the old one

ornate hull
#

Same

bronze turtle
#

"You are nothing but an Ant, biting at the toes of A GOD" man I liked that line

ornate hull
#

First were ants now rodents. ya were definitely geting to him

bronze turtle
#

lmao that was a pretty good one

ornate hull
#

You know the survivetheark gauntlet

bronze turtle
#

yeah

#

it's hard

ornate hull
#

The kangaroos are hard to hit with a boomerang is that because they evolved in Australia with boomerangs and are immune

bronze turtle
#

lol

#

I'm not even gonna try that Gauntlet in Survival, I reckon you'd need full ascendant riot armor

ornate hull
#

Not with my settingsHAPPY

bronze turtle
#

there's tons of dangerous stuff, the Dodorex is on there

#

you have to do like 10 rounds of it

ornate hull
#

Boomerang op on my server

#

I get destroyed on beta tho

bronze turtle
#

maybe I'll try that challenge eventually, can you use your Tek suit to fly?

ornate hull
#

Not sure

bronze turtle
#

definitely not worth trying though because you can't on other missions, probably just bring full riot armor

ornate hull
#

I play on boosted so I'm good

bronze turtle
#

I wanna fight Rockwell Prime and it seems the missions are the hardest part

#

I reckon I could definitely easily fight him, it's just the missions standing in my way, definitely not fighting him on Alpha though, probably just Gamma

ornate hull
#

So are they gonna put Rockwell prime on the wiki or just leave it blank

bronze turtle
#

idk

warm brook
bitter crater
#

i mean.. at least it has an infobox now... and a bit of a description

ornate hull
#

Ah yes

#

He is a creature in ark survival evolved

warm brook
#

if you ahve more info feel free to add to it the wiki is editable by everyone

bronze turtle
#

Rockwell Prime is a creature in ARK: Survival Evolved

Its fun

#

God I cant get Rockwell saying "this is where you fall to your knees" out of my head from the trailer

#

I only watched the Ending, did not beat the boss myself

thorn canopy
#

I have to run Gen 2 with Nintendo Switch Graphics to play it

#

How long is the Ending? Like 3 mins ?

ornate hull
#

I cant even get to it because both of the dolphin missions are bugged on xbox

ornate hull
thorn canopy
#

Cool Ig

#

I just hope Ark 2 will be well optimised

#

Because Gen2 is heavy

#

Best DLC but the hardest one to run as well

#

Oh I forgot to see how big the map is

bronze turtle
tender wasp
#

Seems like newest Nvidia update killed my ark graphics... -.-

#

No one measured the map and I am too busy to do it lol

ornate hull
#

It big

bronze turtle
#

big indeed

bold dove
#

Feels kind of smaller with the tek-suit.

#

Personally. I wished we got it a 'bit' later in the game.
Something akin to getting a full set of the Federation suit in any, and all missions.
So you still have that early game fear if you're not near a mission terminal.

Nida note 5
We've been visited by something transhuman-I saw the evidence inside Genesis!

Maybe I shouldn't be leaving a record of this, but I think someone left a superluminal link open back to Arat Prime that one of them used to find us out here- one of the... Homo deus.

Nida note 20
If its creator really wasn't here with us anymore, what exactly was invading the other ring?

HLNA note 28
I have to admit I'm actually glad you've made it this far.
Someone from the old world really should be here to witness the dawning of my new age.

So i always assumed that Helena just uploaded HLNA to the ship but it appears that she was actually on the ship herself. Or did we already know that? This discord channel is hard to keep up with if you miss the big lore dumps that happen from time to time. I'm trying to figure out when we got sent to the ship or if we are the same survivor from the arks. There's another HLNA note that says we showed up on day 6 of Rockwell's takeover. Not sure if that is literal or if he is making some kind of biblical reference. So in my mind it seems that the arks and the ship launch at roughly the same time and do their thing. Then we come along on the arks first and do our thing all the way through extinction. The reseed project starts and the arks fall. Helena does her cutscene with us then takes us up to the colony ship for whatever reason. Maybe because we were able to defeat the king titan and she thinks we would be a great asset to the genesis ship program because clearly the earth plan didn't work and everybody is extinct. Then we get our data entered in with all of the others in the database and we run through the simulation, hop out 6 days after rockwell sets up shop. HLNA says that people used to run the ship not long ago. Then we do our thing on the genesis ship and rockwell remembers us from Ab and the simulation. I don't know, it all starts to run in a circle after a while. Feel free to tell me I got it all wrong lol.

I dont wanna read

Somebody will eventually lol or not

ornate hull
#

The only thing I'm gonna say is the devs said it's up to us if we play as the survivor in from the arks in genisis

hard parrot
#

Ooh ok

#

Sounds like they took the cheap way out

ornate hull
#

Pretty much

hard parrot
#

Well if we’re not the same then it lessens the story of everything before genesis. I guess that’s the problem of having a story written by one person and finished by another.

bold dove
#

Leaving stuff loose is actually a tactic in writing.

#

Leaves more thoughts to the viewer of what the answer is. Then just handfeeding them

hard parrot
#

I get that too but I prefer loose endings not loose middles

bold dove
#

Extinction's ending 'is' the loose ending.

#

Extinction is a end of a saga.

hard parrot
#

Right I’m with you on that. Guess we got a loose beginning with genesis

bold dove
#

Correctamondo

hard parrot
#

At least ark 2 has or we assume will have a legit start as the follow up to genesis 2

tender wasp
#

You even can say your first surviour lives now happily on earth after Extinction and Gen is a total new survivor that now has his own story. All up to you.

Oooooh ok thanks fir the help

In some way yes. So you can headcanon what is inbetween.

bronze turtle

yay

#

what's your headcanon?

tender wasp
#

In my story there is no gen 1 & Gen 2

bronze turtle
#

oh

tender wasp
#

But for me the Rockwell uploaded himself and the survivor got uploaded is what I would go with.

bronze turtle
#

nice

tender wasp
#

Yeah I am writing my own Ark inspired story and there is a lot different allready and Gen 1 & 2 never really happen cause I stick to earth.

#

Earth is saved but still has a lot of problems that need solving

bronze turtle
#

cool man! I always wanted to write something like that but my main weakness is the starting line, no clue how to start a story lol

tender wasp
#

lol the start I allready have, was actaully the easiest part 🙂

bronze turtle
#

well yeah I've thought of a start, I just don't know how to actually start the writing because I can't think of the first sentence to start it off

#

was thinking of writing it in an Explorer Note style, but idk how that would work out

tender wasp
#

"Everything was dark, only the soft sound of waves tickled Jamie’s ear. He felt warm sand beneath him, as well as water lapping his bare feet. It surprised him. He vaguely remembered that he had never lived by the sea, even if the memories were strangely blurry and tattered. Almost like a large puzzle where only the ragged edges are left. He tried to open his eyes, but a blinding brightness dazed him."

#

That is how mine starts ^^

#

You have wierd morals when you think making your reaserches more important than life, killing part of the Tek tribe, the whole living crew oft the ship and playing god is not wrong...

#

And even if the tribe on scorched were babarians, poisoning the whole tribe is still moraly shit and killing a child cause it may become a savage... if you go by that standards a lot of us would have been long dead already.

ornate hull
digital flower
#

Yes "improved"

ornate hull
#

It's better than just saying it's a creature in ark survival evolved

wind oar
#

scorched earth overseer must be the worst morally of the cannon arks

digital flower
#

I mean their technically machines following protocol so human morale's probably isn't even written in their program

ornate hull
#

How

wind oar
wind oar
# ornate hull How

it destroyed civilizations for the sake of them not prospering in the ark bc the purpose was to prepare survivours for earth not live on the arks

ornate hull
#

No it destroyed them because they got to big

tender wasp
wind oar
#

thats what i meant they were basically civilizing the arks wich goes againest theyre purpose

ornate hull
#

Well ya when the idea is to save the planet you want them to move tho

#

And wasnt that after the arks were all fucked up

digital flower
#

I still don't understand where you're going with the Overseer's having a personality

wind oar
#

i understand yet how the overseer intervined in scorched earth is atrocious compared to how other overseers behaved

ornate hull
#

I dont think it matters how they behave if they reach there goal

wind oar
digital flower
#

Scorched is mild compared to how the Overseer's punished the survivors in Aberration

digital flower
wind oar
#

the island overseer has not many records of it ever interviening among the survivours

ornate hull
#

To be fair
Building a big city is alot better than nucking the overseers house

#

So that's probably why they got treated harsher

digital flower
wind oar
ornate hull
#

No overseers arnt homo deus

digital flower
#

It's only theorized that the Overseer's are actually homo deus and even if they were it still wouldn't change the point that there's no longer any remnants of human personality

wind oar
#

what i mean with all of this is overseers have different ways of interviening, they could possibly not be machines and they island overseer is never explicitely said to be the rombus you fight to ascend

ornate hull
#

It is the thing you fight tho

wind oar
#

you are fighting what people call the overseer but it is never said to be the thing manipulating the ark and injecting the people and creatures to the island

#

what manipulates the ark itself is still a mystery but it is connected to the rombus somehow

ornate hull
#

No

#

Just no man

digital flower
#

Yeah it's an interesting theory, but homo deus can't stay in our reality for long enough because eventually they get consumed and stuck in their own time bubble, since time moves at a faster pace than us unless they somehow found a way to trap their souls into the Overseer's robotic body it still wouldn't change the fact that there's no remnants of what used to be a person left

wind oar
#

they dont have to be homo deus tho

#

i just mean its something sentient that controls the arks not just a robot

#

it can think

ornate hull
#

That's called an ai

digital flower
#

Or it has a certain protocol to follow set by the homo deus and previous Earth humans

wind oar
#

the problem with ai is that the only one we know of really is hlna and its basically a robot version of helena but there has not been any mention of what the overseer itself is

#

obiously it can be an ai but it is as unconfirmed as me saying its something else

ornate hull
#

Ok then explain why the track for the final boss of the island is called the overseer
HMMMMMMMMMMM?

wind oar
#

you are missing my whole point the rombus you fight could be controled by something else or a protocol caused by the overseer you are fighting something triggered by the overseer be it the thing you fight or something else but the overseer might not be a computer

ornate hull
#

My brain can't comprehend your big brain theory

digital flower
wind oar
#

my only usggestion is overseer might not be the rombus you fight but it could be something else causing this protocol

#

the overseer could be a sentient beign

ornate hull
#

Ok but you keep on saying rombus

digital flower
#

Think that means Robot

ornate hull
#

What is that

wind oar
#

with rombus i mean the implant looking robot that you fight

ornate hull
#

I hate the 10 second cooldown

tender wasp
#

Even as an AI the overseers might be able to learn and have an "personality".

ornate hull
#

Ohhhhh

tender wasp
#

I am pretty sure they were able to adapt and learn either way.

ornate hull
#

You spelled rhombus wrong

wind oar
#

the problem with ai is the lack of explanation on how they work on ark or if they even exist

wind oar
ornate hull
#

Your fine

tender wasp
#

Cause my guess is the overseeres are a) homo deus or b) super advanced AIs

ornate hull
#

I just got confused

wind oar
#

my theory would be the overseers could be humans not homo deus

digital flower
#

if they were humans why would they punish the survivors? Unless their Rockwell you'd think they'd show compassion

wind oar
#

they are not punishing they are fulfilling the purpose to prepare them for earth

ornate hull
#

By killing them

#

Ehh nvm that makes sence

wind oar
#

it is already explained that people who died on the arks were not considered sufficient of coming to earth to defeat the titans

digital flower
#

Problem with that is that if it was a human there's a chance they'd step out of line with the protocol to revive Earth

ornate hull
#

I know I just forgot for a second

digital flower
#

so AI seems more believable

wind oar
digital flower
#

or it could just be a machine with no free will following a set of rules set by the homo deus and future humans

wind oar
#

also rockwell beign an overseer kinda makes this completely possible

digital flower
#

Rockwell has free will though...

ornate hull
#

Ya he wouldn't of killed my shinehorn if he didnt

digital flower
#

the Overseer's on the other ARKs are completely different to Rockwell

wind oar
#

another reason is the fact that somehow a human became capable of controling an ark this means that machine has some mean of a human controlling it and the mutations on rockwell could be explained by the radiation and the ark beign broken when he became one

digital flower
#

Aberration was like that before Rockwell took over

wind oar
#

laso what happened to the past overseer on aberration? it somwhow got unoperational or killed wich makes this easier to believe

digital flower
#

2 words "Tek Nuke"

ornate hull
#

Rockwell became overseer because he wasnt human anymore and the ark needed something to replace the old overseer so it didnt self destruct

wind oar
#

the thing is how is a human capable of operating an ark if it was designed for ai then? there should be no means of control form a human to avoid survivours becoming an overseer but aberration makes this impossible

#

someway somehow the arks can be operational by humans

ornate hull
#

Here's the thing

#

After rockwell injected himself with element he wasnt a human anymore

digital flower
#

Rockwell isn't human

wind oar
#

he still has features that caracterize a human he isnt in shape but he still retains feelings and memory

ornate hull
#

That's not how that works but ok

digital flower
#

Yes he still has his human will and memory, but the ARKs systems don't categorise them as human

#

The ARKs see humans as the little deformed people running around beating dodo's with clubs

wind oar
#

this still doesnt debunk the fact that sentient beigns can control arks

digital flower
#

of course not

ornate hull
#

You wanna know what

digital flower
#

we're debunking the theory that the overseer's are humans when their machine's

wind oar
#

rockwell not beign a human doesnt really debunk humans beign capable of controlling arks

ornate hull
#

Shinehorn is the overseer now
Shinehorn controls this vessel
And very soon its destination

digital flower
#

It does because the ARKs weren't designed to be controlled by humans and were left floating in space for billions of years

ornate hull
#

Shinehorn commands its evolution

digital flower
#

they were left to be completely AI dependent and function to fulfil the purpose of the advanced civilisation and revive the Earth

digital flower
wind oar
#

the arks work on tek wich would mean they need element, big concentrations of element cause titans this means if you leave an ai how would it not be overpowered by the materialization of element and its weird properties

ornate hull
#

Blue element good purple element bad

digital flower
#

ARKs are run by the energy source from the homo deus

wind oar
tender wasp
#

The overseers are not humans, that is for sure and Rockwell is a special case cause of his connection to Element.

digital flower
#

which is practically endless energy

wind oar
#

i mean the initial statement is still undebunked the overseer might not be machines

tender wasp
#

The AIs on the Genesis Sim also did work fine until Rockwell came, and the ship also seems to work on Element.

wind oar
#

i made human thing bc homo deus arent capable of beign on our reality

tender wasp
#

Yeah but it is pretty clear, that humans arn't the overseers.

wind oar
#

genesis is a completely different thing genesis doesnt have an overseer its basically a space ship

ornate hull
#

It is a space shipveggies

digital flower
tender wasp
#

And even beeing a space ship it still had AIs that how I guess also took care of the cloneing and similar.

digital flower
#

1: Humans doing stupid shit and that would mess up with the whole purpose of reviving Earth because of compassion or whatever 2: Humans could destroy the program the advanced civilisation worked so hard to build

#

Basically if the overseer's were humans it would fuck shit up

wind oar
#

this theory about humans or other life forms controlling the arks could branch of into many other part of lore to be explained

wind oar
#

the master ai is also a form of corrupt ai wich could be a reason why to avoid ai to control the arks

tender wasp
digital flower
#

an ai could do a better job than humans with processing and they wouldn't care what happens to the people on the ship

wind oar
#

the genesis simulation is absolutely broken bc of survivours

Yes right about the Overseers potentially being Homo Deus but wrong about the Overseer's being human because Homo Deus aren't humans, their basically gods

#

It's like the Rockwell case earlier, Rockwell isn't human anymore that's why he became Aberration's overseer

Humans are "Homo-Sapiens" while the next evolution is "Homo-Deus"

Big sad

bronze turtle
#

I wasn't that sad to see ||HLN-A die||

#

it was more of ||"It's so bright... Helena? I'm afraid."||

#

my main concern is if the Astrodelphis are okay

#

tbh HLN-A wasn't that cool of a buddy, she was just kind of a store to buy things that talked every once and a while and would get mildly pissy at you when you die

digital flower
#

Haha true

tender wasp
#

She actually only tells you some stuff of the new creatures and some stuff in the missions we need to do.. but for me the missions were a big dissappointment to be honest.

bronze turtle
#

would the King Titan be the biggest antagonist in ARK or is that still Rockwell?

digital flower
#

In terms of size of pure evil?

bronze turtle
#

in terms of the bad things that they caused and or did

digital flower
#

I'd say Rockwell, mainly because Rockwell clearly knew what he was doing the king titan is driven by the element hive mind whereas Rockwell has his own will

bronze turtle
#

I'd say the King Titan, the King Titan was the bringer of the apocalypse and was the reason that the Earth became the wasteland, and ultimately forcing humans to create the ARKs, without the King Titan none of the story would've happened. then again, the reason that the King Titan is there is because of the Corruption, and iirc the Corruption is on Earth because there was a war that used tons of Element which ended up Corrupting the world

#

if you think about it, all of ARK is humankind's fault but you really have to think hard to get to that conclusion

digital flower
#

I guess but the thing is the king titan is apart of the element hive mind which Rockwell is technically apart of he's just not controlled by it

bronze turtle
#

Rockwell still has a brain of his own

digital flower
#

Yeah that's why I'd say Rockwell is more evil because he knew what he was doing

bronze turtle
#

the Titans do not and are being controlled by Element

digital flower
#

It's more like they're apart of the element hivemind

The King Titian is only a product of the element polution on earth, as I understood it.

#

that's what I think too but some of the Wiki implies that he is the Element Hivemind, but then again the Wiki may be wrong

digital flower
#

He is he's just not controlled by it he has a will of his own

#

He's probably classed under the hivemind because of his ability to control reaper's and nameless in the Aberration arena

#

since they are a product of element

bronze turtle
#

in the Hologram for the Alpha King Titan it says that Element spawned the King Titan, so the apocalypse wasn't fully his fault

digital flower
#

Yep

#

Although he has no will so he isn't even aware of what he's doing

bronze turtle
#

I think that Element made the King Titan to be a giant brute that enforced the death of Earth, so it's more of half and half, it was created to help destroy the planet

tender wasp
#

I think Element itself is not evil or good. It simply wants to survive and thrive.

digital flower
#

Element is a bit like drugs too much is bad

bronze turtle
tender wasp
#

While Rockwell exactly knew what he did and he wanted to be a good, no matter the costs.

#

Yeah, element feels a lot like a virus or similar and not Element brought the corruption, more the overuse and in the End the war made it corrupt earth.

digital flower
#

I think the wiki explains it to be like a fungus

bronze turtle
#

somewhat

#

Element is seemingly intelligent as well, it lures living beings into itself by promising comfort, needs, and desires until they can't get out? which is weird but Helena said it in a note

#

even the strongest and smartest beings are fooled into the Element's lies

digital flower
#

So Rockwell might've been trapped?

bronze turtle
#

no he willingly injected Liquid Element into himself

digital flower
#

Yeah but the part where it reads "Lures living beings into promising comfort, needs and desires until they can't get out"

#

implies it manipulated with Rockwell's desire to be a god

tender wasp
#

Rockwell allready got obsessed with element on scorched and it seems he wanted to leave an mark in history and also wasn't willing to die.

#

So I guess for him it was a mix of wanting and element influence in the end.

bronze turtle
#

there was Element on Scorched?

tender wasp
#

For players only when you defeated the Manticore.

bronze turtle
#

I mean in the lore

tender wasp
#

I think Rockwell also gets contact first with it there ? Don't really remember and yes in lore there was.

bronze turtle
#

howcome there wasn't Element on the Island?

digital flower
#

The ARK we're on in the island wasn't really setup with exposing element to the people in mind

#

It's why we see in the ARK were at that Diana and Santiago they did have element ore but we didn't

tender wasp
#

Yea also Abs never really was identical to the Island and all the survivors put there were actually Feds or URE until Mei, Helena and Rockwell arrive.

#

And the Cave system we play in Abs was allways on the Ark.

digital flower
#

Man thanks a lot guys we could've had our own Valguero

bronze turtle
#

the ARK plan was stoopid dude

#

why put Element on an ARK if you're trying to rid the world of Element

digital flower
#

To give the tek tribe an advantage? Since they were their best bet

tender wasp
#

Probably to test how people would handle it or something that happend when the Arks started to get out of controll.

digital flower
#

Or that

tender wasp
#

And in the end at least they did built the portal project with element and made it possible to go back to earth.

#

Otherwise earth still would suffer corruption and no one would have been able to go there.

bronze turtle
#

true but probably the original reason they couldn't go anywhere else is because someone went ballistic and blew the boss to smithereens

tender wasp
#

No survivor could go anywere besides defeating a boss which simply put you on another Ark.

#

The Ark system was fucked and insted putting people to earth they made harder and harder encounters.

bronze turtle
#

until someone beat the King Titan

tender wasp
#

So there was no way to get to earth cause KT actually prevented it.

digital flower
#

I still would've liked to see the fate of the Earth after Rockwell crashed onto it

bronze turtle
#

probably dead

#

make your own story, my headcanon is that Earth is kinda screwed because the Element is gonna be party rocking

#

then again all of the ARKs that landed are trying to purify Element so tons of ARKs against some Corruption

digital flower
#

Yeah why else would they need to find a new planet

bronze turtle
#

the Terran Federation decided that Earth is fecked and honestly just ditched it

digital flower
#

Lol imagine making this whole system to revive the Earth just for it to be fucked again evil_g

bronze turtle
#

big brain move

#

it's up to you, they confirmed it's just your headcanon, rather it's dead or alive, no clue what my headcanon is rn

digital flower
#

There's no way Rockwell would've just left the Earth chilling and joined us for our joyride on the ship he probably destroyed it

#

because if he defeated us the Earth probably would've been gunning for his ass with a entire army

tender wasp
#

The Fed launched the ship centuries ago at about the same time the Arks launched.

bronze turtle
#

yeah

tender wasp
#

They allready had given up earth after the war, when corruption started to spread.

#

URE wanted to save Earth and Feds were like plan B, find another planet and fuck earth.

digital flower
#

Yeah but when Aberration crash landed on Earth the corruption probably spread again

bronze turtle
#

Feds seem like they're super fun at parties dude

digital flower
#

maybe he tp'd onto the ship whilst Earth was busy fighting off the new threat of corruption?

tender wasp
#

That is up to us.. but also there are hundreds of Arks vs little Abs Ark..

bronze turtle
#

"God dammit, Corruption is spreading now, let's build a rocket ship and look for another planet"

#

like the apocalypse is just a mild inconvenience

tender wasp
#

For me it is more likely Earth purifies under Helenas guidance and Rockwell went for the ship, cause why mess with earth an pescy humans when I can corrupt the whole cosmos with my own little playground ship.

long sand
#

im gonna be honest i dont know a drop of lore

#

brb gonna go watch some vids

digital flower
#

Me neither :P

tender wasp
#

Or Rockwell simply fled cause the purifiing would have killed him and on Earth he would have had to deal with a lot more people than on the ship.

digital flower
tender wasp
#

But they kept it open on porpous so everybody can decide for themself.

tender wasp
digital flower
#

then again it would be inconvenient for him to fight them head on which is probably why he hid away in the ship

tender wasp
#

Yeah.. being sneaky and corrupt slowly fits him way better than open confrontation and I guess he is affraid of Helena.

digital flower
#

True we don't know the true extent of what the homo deus could do, she probably would've destroyed him

tender wasp
#

Yeah or at least mobilized enough surviours to do so.

digital flower
#

yea

urban stone
#

I wonder how the arks technologically remove element, as aren’t they kind of powered by element also?

digital flower
#

No their powered by the energy of the homo dues

tender wasp
#

probably purging element also will use up all the remaining element.

ornate hull
#

Bro

#

Your blowin my mind stop it

urban stone
#

🤔

tender wasp
#

But as I know they are at least partly powerd by element

digital flower
urban stone
#

I mean, it’s really just “fight fire with fire”

#

Kind of thing

ornate hull
#

What if they make a new element 🤔

digital flower
#

Yes but the URE and Feds did that

#

look what it did to the Earth

#

Idk I still think they used up the homo deus energy to purge the element

bronze turtle
#

so basically Earth go Corrupt from Element during a war and Titans form so the Feds are like "Oh shit, we gotta dip" and build a rocket ship and get the hell outta there and that's the Colony Ship, and at the same time these dudes are building the ARKs so like the Island, Scorched Earth and all that stuff, and at the same time again they decide to plug the people that are on the Colony Ship into this Genesis Simulation thing with dinosaurs and they're like "Damn man, humans and dinosaurs work well together" so they started adding dinosaurs to the real Colony Ship and to the real ARKs and that was that. meanwhile, these asses were on Aberration fighting a boss or something and they decide to use a bomb made out of Element from asteroids and blow the boss to smithereens and Corrupt Aberration because why not. then Helena and friends spawn on the Island and blah blah blah. while that's happening, Earth is being destroyed and ravaged by crazy Element and tons of Titans enforcing the apocalypse, so that sucks. anyways Helena and friends get outta there, go to Scorched, one of Helena's friends Rockwell finds out about Element and loves it to death, Helena and friends go over to Aberration and meet Diana and Santiago, Rockwell decides to inject Liquid Element into his bloodstream and big surprise, he turns into a giant monster. Helena and Mei-Yin, another one of Helena's friends decide to fight Rockwell and beat him, then he respawns because that's how bosses on ARK work. anyways Santiago and other people begin work on a portal to get back to Earth so they do that and hey, it worked and they got to Earth. anyways Earth sucks right now so they were like "Oh damn, Earth sucks right now" and started making Meks and stuff to fight the Titans. they do that and then Santiago dies, no one knows how but he did. so then later somehow the King Titan corners Helena and Mei-Yin so Helena puts a prism thing into her Implant and forces the King Titan and its army to retreat to the night

Not exactly. The Arks and the ship were invented simultaniously and Feds and URE worked together on both.. but Feds mainly ship and URE mainly Arks. The decission on dinos seemed to have been made at that point by both factions as also both factions made a databank of a bunch of humans with engramic matrixes. both databanks seemed to have the same humans in them but one databank is on the arks and another one on the ship. so both have the same copy but sepperated from each other.

#

So ship launches with a bunch of dinos and people and a databank full of data and the same happens with the Arks.

bronze turtle
#

cool

tender wasp
#

So the ship obviously seems to have altered the humans, adding/overriting and removing memories to make humans more fitting for several tasks or also to make them easier to handle... something you see they did with Santiago's ship clone. He does not remember what he did in the URE/FED element war at first and later only reads some of it in a file they hide from him, while the Abs/Ext. clone knows pretty well what he has done in the war.

#

So Arks and the ship are two totally sepperated systems. As soon the ship was launched they were on their own, like the Arks were on their own.

#

There is even a scene in one of Santiagos notes on the ship where they show him a cloned baby mammoth.

Ill take a look

Rockwell is by far my favorite ark character

tender wasp

Cause they at least give some conclusion for the Abs/Ext. survivors.

And Gen 2 mostly shows/explaines why Santiago is in Ark 2 and some stuff about Rockwell and the ship itself.

urban stone
#

The ship is technically an ark tho.

ornate hull
#

No but ok

bold dove
#

The definition of the biblical ARK is a "Lifeboat to preserve life"
If anything, the Genesis ship is 'more' of a ARK then the actual ARK's.

#

And the goal of the Genesis-ship 'is' to preserve life. It just more prioritizes humans over animals.
And it acts as a colony ship, rather then helping Earth.

ornate hull
#

Ok

#

Only because you say so

bold dove
urban stone
bronze turtle
#

the Colony Ship isn't an ARK

#

an ARK is a giant floating space station in the game, ARK

#

the Colony Ship is a ship with life on it, which by definition is an ark, but it's not an ARK

#

so by definition the Colony Ship is an ark, but it's not an ARK, and since ARK is not a biblical game it shouldn't be classified as an ARK or an ark or anything like that, it's the Colony Ship

bold dove
#

Okay, just ignore literally 'everything' i said.
Okay pal.

bronze turtle
#

it's not a space station orbiting Earth like an ARK is, it's more of an ark like the biblical boat, but not an ARK like the space station in the lore

#

but calling it an ark will be confusing because people will think you're talking about an ARK like the Island

# main steppe Do we know when the colony ship was actually launched? Because how would Rockwel...

Nida hints, that she was brought back several times and is fed up by it, even states she wanna hide until she dies and no one finds her. According to her the ship is allready in space for Centuries and Rockwell was only on it for about 3000 days. So it is pretty obvious it was long gone, when the Arks came back to Earth. I asume it launched at a similar time like the Arks went into space. It is staded somewhere that an uplink to the ship was left open. So one option could be, that Rockwell uploaded himself.

I'm completely new to the lore. Am I going crazy or are the survivors that wrote the notes on The Island from completely different time periods? It feels like Helena is from our time, Rockwell from 1900, Meyin (sorry for misspelling) from wayy further back and the guy with the vase from the Roman Empire???

bold dove

Helena is from (our) modern day Australia.
Rockwell is a 20th century scholar.
Nerva is a Roman Centurion.
Mei-Yin is from ancient China.

hi everyone

#

guys there were two things

#

so they still even after landing the arks did they give up earth

#

We don't really know, I imagine so considering they were on a ship looking for a new habitable world but maybe some people stayed behind on Earth with Helena

the arks and the genesis ship launched at the same time

||Yeah I'd say that Gabriel and Nida are both apart of our survivors who maybe were selected to come on aboard the Genesis ship for their skills, and a select few were put into the Genesis simulation because of their proficiency maybe? ||

rockwell : i made my own crew because the rest were torn to pieces meet my own children

He was just feeling bored I guess

Rockwell: Why won't this primitive monkey just wake up out of his pod already so I can crush him on the spot

#

Might want to tag your stuff with the spoiler so you don't spoil anything for others

||So most of the crew was killed by Rockwell and Nida was on of the last ones still alive in the end. ||

hard parrot
tender wasp
# hard parrot ||Yep. And she wasn't specified as being killed. Really makes the Ark 2 traile...

||Cause the suicide bomber that killed Santiago was as I understood it centuries ago, at the time when they improved stuff in the ship. So hard to say if it allready was in orbit then or close to start at that time. Nida was way later and maybe she was brought back after Santiago was allready dead or did not remember him in her current life cause it sounded like she has been brought back allready several times, which makes sense how long the ship allready must be traveling. But it would make sense that she is the child in the trailer, cause of the implant. ||

there was a piece of me expecting to see something about Ark 2 on the Xbox stage during their E3 presentation.

I guess in the Ark 2 trailer they are still all clones and Santiago turns at least his cloneing off by deleting his file and turning off the device and also the implants of him and the girl.

hard parrot
#

i'm watching the trailer now. crazy how they went from genesis ship and exo suits to hide clothes and stone spears

tender wasp
#

I only watched the trailer once.. not really my side of the coin.

hard parrot
#

i've watched it a few times since the release. so it didn't catch your attention?

tender wasp
#

it totaly dehyped me XD

hard parrot
#

wow lol

tender wasp
#

It made me lose nearly all interest in Ark 2

hard parrot
#

because we revert back to primal days or the blue tree men

tender wasp
#

Several things like the Orcs, the wooden animations, the cavemen/primal aspect, the wierd looking rex, Vin Diesel...

hard parrot
#

so everything lol

tender wasp
#

yeah XD

hard parrot
#

the rex did look weird. I don't like the orcs either. I don't mind the primal aspect but it doesn't make sense story wise how they would revert sooooo far back from what is on the genesis ship. Animations do look stiff. I just figured it was early game stuff. I'm just not sure how they will make Santiago a main part of the story without it having some sort of single player deal separate from the open world multiplayer sandbox

tender wasp
#

For me primal is mostly boring, never liked it much and early Ark was pretty boring after some time for me and I had a long break and came back with Aberration wich was for me a good balance between early game and later hard to get Tek stuff. Going totaly back makes no sense for and is simply not the kind of game I like. So if they keep it like primal+ it is simply not my kind of game.

#

With Santiago, no clue, mabye VD is only in the trailer and ingame Santiago probably is allready dead and we only find Explorer notes and some stuff in some kind of story missions like in Gen maybe.

#

In that case he still would be main part of the story without forcing people into the story, that actually only want to PvP pr PvE for taming, etc.

#

I know a lot of people that don't care for the Ark story and also don't want to have to mess with it.

hard parrot
#

But if he’s already dead since he deactivated his cloning data then it could be notes again to tell the story.

Yeah, I remember seeing the description for the trailer reading "hyper-realistic intelligent dinosaurs"

#

Which I wouldn't mind for some of the creatures because to be honest I didn't really like ARK's rex design

hard parrot
#

Yeah.

tender wasp

#

to be fair the trailer was super scuffed XD

hard parrot

I hope they can pull it off.

tender wasp
#

To be honest the AI is even more important than the look.

Oh absolutely

Honestly, it was so scuffed that the only thing I even remember from it was Vin Diesel grunting

who's plan did you guys like the most, the URE's plan or the Feds' plan?

hard parrot
#

Reseed project seems a little more thought out than hey let’s build a ship and fly around until we find a place to live

tender wasp
#

Liked the URE plan more, never really like the „fuck earth“ mentality if there still is hope to rescue it one day. Also jumping on a ship with no plan were to go or if you ever find a suitable planet feels a bit like depending to much on luck.

hard parrot
#

Exactly

bronze turtle
#

imo I liked the Feds' plan because there was an almost 100% chance that the Colony Ship would find a suitable world for life, while the URE's plan required a Survivor to go through the Island, Scorched, Aberration, and then beat the King Titan on Extinction to have the ARKs land, the URE's plan required tons of effort while the Feds' plan only required waiting to find a suitable planet, I feel that the Feds' plan would realistically succeed. the URE's plan, which probably would've been intensely difficult, still could work, but I think the Feds' plan would have a higher success rate

#

don't hate me though

tender wasp
#

The URE plan never was to beat the king titan and go throug several Arks. Even the bosses in that extreme extend were never planned. This happend cause the king titan appeared and the Arks had to stay longer than expected which ended in tje Arks messing up, etc.

bronze turtle
#

oh

#

so when were the ARKs originally going to land?

tender wasp
#

The king titan was a reason the reseed protocol was delayed so much.

#

The exact parameters are never explained for that only that it should have happend way earlier.

#

Only know is that the king titan made the element concentration on earth to high so the arks did not come back

bronze turtle
#

when does our Survivor's story take place?

tender wasp
#

Centuries at least after the Arks launched. There is no real time frame given only that the arks are in orbit very long allready and also that the ship travels super long as well allready.

bronze turtle
#

oh

#

alright sweet

tender wasp
#

the first way out of the Arks was made by the Tek Tribe on Aberration by Santiago which we use later to get to Earth.

fossil willow
#

in one of helena's one who waits notes, if i remember correctly, was that the system (the arks) was broken and didn't deem survivors strong enough to go to Earth and try and fight the corruption so they just kept transporting people to different Arks over and over again, and i think that's super fascinating

#

the survivors ended up having to create their own ways to get back to earth and in the case of aberration, it was a portal

tender wasp
#

Like an endless loop.

digital flower
#

I like the Feds plan because maybe it was more thought out like "Hey if the Earth is fucked why don't we just fly away and find a new world and give a middle finger to the URE" they might've wanted to get away from Earth to stop the conflict and wars

crude charm
#

Please I know not everyone is into that sort of stuff but god if you made your own ark character I absolutely love to hear about them

tender wasp
#

Some poeple here have their own Ark characters with stories and stuff.

tender wasp
digital flower
tender wasp
digital flower
#

Yeah but at least it completed its mission eventually similar to the ARKs

#

I wish we knew what happened to the Earth after the ARKs fell, like were there destroyed ARKs similar to Abb which meant people had to fight off a new threat of corruption

#

And why blast off in a ship when the Earth was just purified? Why not stay back and fight off the corruption

#

Did something happen which meant Earth was basically fucked again

tender wasp
#

The ship took of when the Arks launched, around that time.

drowsy sentinel
#

Didn’t the ship leave before the ARKs land?

tender wasp
#

Yep blue

digital flower
#

Yeah sorry my bad, why go on the ship when we just purified the Earth?

drowsy sentinel
#

Yay I got something right

tender wasp
#

It was allready gone as second solution. Arks was one, ship was second.. and both were executed at around the same time.

#

So the ship was on its trip for centuries at last and no one on the ship knows that the Arks came back or if they ever came back.

digital flower
#

Yeah but we knew, so why did we go on the ship and other survivors go onto the ship?

tender wasp
#

Only us and Rockwell and Rockwell seems to have gone straight to Arat prime to upload himself to the ship cause to be fair, how should one little Ark corrupt against hundreds of others purifiing ?

#

Gabriel and Nida allways have been on the ship.

digital flower
#

Idk there's hundreds of ARKs, so some of them might've been destroyed like Ab was

tender wasp
#

The ship has a data base were a bunch of engramic matrixes are saved, samel like the Arks.

digital flower
#

then again the chances of that happening is pretty low

tender wasp
#

Abs is the only known one.

digital flower
tender wasp
#

It is like Ship has a database of engramic Matrixes, the Arks have an copy of that data base or vice versa from the time when both were invented/ready to launch.

digital flower
#

Helena probably predicted that Rockwell would target the ship

tender wasp
#

Helena might even have known he will go there. It is even stated, that an uplink was left open.

digital flower
#

so maybe she sent us into the simulation to keep us under Rockwell's radar, not that it worked anyways since he found us in the simulation

tender wasp
#

Yeah and she could not have gone herself cause a) to obvious, b) needs to take care of earth.

digital flower
#

Yeah she still had to get the other survivors adjusted to the new life on Earth

tender wasp
#

So she gives us H-LNA and uploads our Matrix to the simulation.

#

At least that is my guess or what could have happend.

digital flower
#

so you're thinking we transferred bodies?

tender wasp
#

This way we remember all what happend on earth and what we did.

#

Only our Matrix gets transfered to the ship and after we get out of the simulation by defeting Rockwell we get put in a body on the ship. Maybe even another clone of our body.

#

That maybe otherwise would have been used for our "outdated" old engramic matrix saved on the ship.

digital flower
#

I mean after what our survivor's been through in the story he'd need a new body at that point XD

tender wasp
#

XD

digital flower
#

Perhaps that's the reason we also lose our implant in the extinction trailer

#

because its Helena transferring us and our matrix so that body is basically an empty shell

tender wasp
#

Extinction was actually planned as the End of Ark.

digital flower
#

Glad it wasn't

#

I felt ARK had a bit more potential left for its story

tender wasp
#

And I allways imagine te removing of the implant as freeing us from beeing respawned and now beeing able to live our live on earth without that burden.

#

I would have been happy with Extinction as ending for Ark and after that a move to an Ark 2

digital flower
#

Oh so you're saying the survivor on Earth and Genesis are different?

tender wasp
#

You can chose as you wish.

bold dove
#

That's up to 'you'

tender wasp
#

I actually cut Gen and Gen 2 from my Ark story and continued on earth ^^

digital flower
#

Reminds me of that spiderman meme with the two spiderman's pointing at each other

bold dove
#

It's no different then how the original ending for Extinction. You turn into a Homo-Deus, since you get the skin.
But if you 'choose' to be the same character. Then that doesn't happen.
And a specimen implant can always be readded to a survivor.

tender wasp
#

Mine is anyways altered a lot but for me there is no Gen and Gen 2.

tender wasp
bold dove
#

My survivor, personally. Is the same one all the way back from The Island.
He's.....seen some shit.....

tender wasp
#

I think even the end of extinction leaves it open if you become Homo Deus or not.

bold dove
#

And note. My personal story with him, is that he's a early Homo-Sapien.
So half the shit he couldn't understand for a while. Till he 'had' to learn this new shit to survive.

tender wasp
#

Even Jamie had a hard time to understand all the stuff and he is form an Ark with an simulated London of 2080 (so he never knew it is an Ark) and never was a clone.

bold dove
#

Who'd knew that a early ape that liked to throw shit everywhere in his past life would become the fucking hero of the universe. veggies

tender wasp
#

lol

digital flower
#

haha

tender wasp
#

My roman survivor even cuts out his Implant XD

bold dove
#

OOF

tender wasp
#

But in my Ark there is no respawn and the implants are only helping tools and some kind of tracker.

digital flower
#

Is there anything in the notes or lore which talks about what happens if you cut out your implant

bold dove
#

To be fair on my survivor side.
He 'did' start to mature as a character once he was on Aberration.
Kind of hard 'NOT' to when you discover that your whole life is either fabricated, or someone else's.

tender wasp

Jamie was never fabricated like most people on his home Ark. He is naturally born but gets transported to an Island like Ark but mostly tropical and part of his memory at least blurred and coming back slowly the more time passes.

#

Idk why they added respawning into the lore

tender wasp
bold dove
#

When you add "respawning" to your story, and it's not the FOCUS of said story, then it becomes a issue.
Same thing with the "New-Life" system in Borderlands.
