lore-nerdz

[mental basin]

Means overwhelming.

But I could have sworn it meant underwhelming.

[bold dove]

Okay, my favorite Japanese boi.

[gusty turret]

Okay this is really a reach, but what if the genesis ship was built in and around the moon for it to be used as the launch point, i highly doubt they made anything that big in orbit and it would be insanely problematic to build on planet, it would provide a possible explanation to the moon being exploded; that being it destroyed the moon and was planned to when it launched

[teal kelp]

Pretty sure the genesis ship was launched at arat prime which is on earth

[gusty turret]

Or it could just be the command center for its construction

I love how they present us with an exploded moon but give no reason as to why it is that way

[teal kelp]

Ikr

One can say war destroyed it tho

But that cannot be considered canon

[bold dove]

Possibly slowed down the impact of the asteroid that element came from. Then it didn't cause 'extreme' damage.

[teal kelp]

If it did then earth would probably be fucked before the element war, also there are multiple videos of asteroids hitting the moon and the moon being fine

[bold dove]

I mean i big ass asteroid.
And there's a lot of shit that doesn't make logical sense in the ARK universe. That's literally the point.
So they could've possibly discovered a way with element to be able to artificially move the waves of the sea, and other shit the moon did.

Case #13829 @quiet slate has been muted for 2 hours.
Reason: Mass Tagging

[mental basin]

Well I'm actually American.

But we don't talk about that.

[bold dove]

Ah, so a fellow weeb.

[mental basin]

That's more like it.

[gusty turret]

What is Mei

Japanese or Chinese?

I can never tell the difference between Japans and Chinas letter symbol thingys

[pure cipher]

Is there an estimate of the scale of the Lifeboat (Genesis Ship)? Just curious of how large it is compared to Earth

[hybrid ice]

Chinese three kingdoms era

[hybrid ice]

Yeah me too sometimes

its like English and Spanish if you don't know the languages they'll look the same

[gusty turret]

@pure cipher assuming what perry said is correct its about half the diameter of the Earth?

[rigid palm]

Yeah its insanely huge

[hybrid ice]

Damn

[gusty turret]

If it actually is that big that's another reason to believe it is somehow what caused the destruction of the moon because the moon is only 1000 less than that

[left vortex]

just defeated the alpha dragon on my island to gen2 challenge and managed to still have 10 Rexes left. pretty lucky really.

[mental basin]

It's not..

The Devs literally said they wanted a destroyed moon because it would look cool.

[lyric tendon]

just like the existence of nameless

[fallow sapphire]

nice, last time i tried the dragon i lost 14 of my 18 rexes

need to start my hardcore journey, now that I have beaten gen 2 on alpha I think its time

[left vortex]

Overseer is next for me... hopefully all goes well. luckily my Rexes are really OP. 20 Health mutation and 10 Melee mutations

and with imprinting gets them to 21,000 health and 550 some melee

[fallow sapphire]

pretty decent, should be able to take it down

i wish you luck, the overseer aint an easy boss

[left vortex]

the tek cave is more rough than the actual overseer though

[fallow sapphire]

true

the overseer is rough because your creatures are already weak from the cave

[left vortex]

true. but that's why i'm bringing all my daedons .I'm just ready to get off the island and head over to scorched earth.

[fallow sapphire]

i hear that, I enjoy scorched but I was so hyped to finally leave the island

how long you been on the island?

[left vortex]

I've been on the island for about 2 months. which is a lot longer than how many of my islands have taken me

[fallow sapphire]

nice, much better then i was lol

took me 9 months, though granted i didnt have amazing breeding timers and terrible luck with levels

[left vortex]

yeah, island is rough for levels

i literally just farmed Carno island for my good rexes

i also think that my two final stat rexes are the only creatures coming with me to extinction. idk cause i want to start extinction fresh but just having those would be nice so i dont have to breed OP rexes all over again

[fallow sapphire]

yeah that makes sense

honestly i was fine with not bringing creatures around till genesis

that is just pain without bringing creatures over

[left vortex]

Gen1 and Gen2 I'm not bringing anything.

for Gen1 im doing what i did before where i start in the bog and don't leave nor teleport until i beat all the missions in the biome. making it more fun to harvest the resources there and taming the specific creatures in the biome. plus getting to make multiple bases

so i move from bog-arctic-ocean-volcanic-lunar.

[balmy storm]

First time fighting dragon alpha it decided to die midair

At the start of the fight

[fallow sapphire]

I wish you good luck then! Also love that idea. I aswell won’t be bringing anything from any map to any map until gen 2, where I will leave gen 1 open as an option for hexagons as it is a simulation, only now I can freely enter and leave the simulation as I please and bring creatures from gen 2 in, but gen 1 creatures can’t come out

[fallow sapphire]

Lucky… I think

[lyric tendon]

This gave me a ponder

If the Fed's emblem is changed meaning they are still active

Is this mean the URE got disbanded or gone non-existent after the ARKs launched?

[bold dove]

That's not at all what that means.
They also changed it on Santiago's Aberration notes. Meaning the previous one is just no longer canon.

[gusty turret]

Why wouldn't they have like outposts on other planets

Advanced people my ass

[bold dove]

Probably cause they where more focused on Earth.

We call ourselves advance, yet we haven't even been past our moon ourselves.

[tender wasp]

Dianas Aberation notes 😉

[bold dove]

Wonder if they just forgot.

I certainly forgot about Diana. 👀

[tender wasp]

Poor Di. Santiago has only one Abs not added with the second chronicles.

[gusty turret]

Yeah we're focused on Earth and have already identified a few other possibly habitable planets and we don't have a magic metal 😒

[bold dove]

Yeah, it's not like we're struggling in the real world of petty wars and politics. Even though we would've had the technology to go colonize other planets by now if we weren't at each others throats all the time. 😒

[gusty turret]

If the genesis ship "needs to jump from star system to star system scanning for habitable worlds" they obviously were doing a lot worse than us

[lyric tendon]

there is no time to go to the exact fly path, corruption creeps faster than you think

[bold dove]

Like, not really. 🤷‍♂️
We're already doing what corruption did to Earth in ARK. Just in a much slower scale, and less tentacles.
Marc Soskin stated his inspiration of "corruption" and the "overuse of element" was inspired by real life pollution with coal factories, and corporations constantly wanting to drag their consumers into their petty shit. I.E the Feds/URE dragging the world down from their petty war.

And if we keep up the shit we're doing to our planet. "We're" going to have to evidently make a Genesis-ship and look for a new habitable planet. Since ours will be long dead.

[gusty turret]

Or hear me out

We don't

Just let the Earth go back to nature like it was originally

Let the monkeys that are entering the stone age rn live and repopulate the Earth

Teach monke to use gas mask

[bold dove]

I'd like that. But that's unrealistic of how shit is going on currently with politics and shit.
Politics sadly rules the world currently, and they're going to fuck it up.
This is just the sad reality of our world.
We're already to the point that some damages are irreversible. Like the destruction of coral reefs.

[gusty turret]

But we have made artificial reefs so that's pretty cool

[bold dove]

And yet, they're not as effective as real ones.

[lyric tendon]

actually they do... the coral that are planted on artificial reefs are more adaptable to change of water temperature than the coral that got died from the change

[gusty turret]

Can we actually kill all goblin sharks tho those mfs are terrifying

[bold dove]

Yeah, had to do some Googling, and that's right.
Though the issue seems to more stem from that we're destroying reefs "faster" then we're replacing them.

[lyric tendon]

true

[bold dove]

Just cause something isn't the prettiest, doesn't mean they should die.
If that's the case, 92% of humanity should be killed.

[lyric tendon]

also true lmao

[gusty turret]

Are you trying to make a bad point that would fix the Earth so much

[lyric tendon]

no because evolution doesn't care about your personal aesthetics

they are born that way

[bold dove]

Actually, not true.
Humans 'aren't' needed for the ecosystems, sure. But if we all died suddenly, then the planet is still fucked since all of the issues we caused would still be there.
Humans are the only beings that can destroy, 'and' fix this planet.
You just need the 'right' humans though.

[gusty turret]

Have you ever seen a goblin shark tho like cmon

[rigid palm]

except fow spidews. Dey need to die

[bold dove]

Have you ever seen yourself?

[gusty turret]

No spiders are so cool

[lyric tendon]

yes and they are cool

[gusty turret]

They eat so many bugs

[rigid palm]

dey awe tewwifying

[bold dove]

Same with sharks.
They're the reasoning why we can breath.

[lyric tendon]

breath?

[gusty turret]

But like their jaw detaches and lunges forward to eat stuff

[lyric tendon]

that's what most sharks do

[gusty turret]

What....

[rigid palm]

Excuse my spewwing, me must uwu-ify my speech

[lyric tendon]

have you ever wondered why most shark fossils are mostly jaws and teeth?

[bold dove]

Sharks keep fish populations low. Since fishes mostly feed off of algae.
If sharks died (which they are endangered) then fish populations will skyrocket and consume more algae then oxygen produced.
And if you don't know. We actually get most of our oxygen from algae, not trees.

[gusty turret]

#Mr.Beastisascam

[bold dove]

Normal sharks can already do that.
It's just the fact that goblin sharks evolved to have a longer jaw.

[rigid palm]

schoow was a wie!

[bold dove]

Great Whites can extend their jaw outwards to catch prey.
It's just not as long as a goblin sharks.

[teal kelp]

Wdym

[lyric tendon]

their skulls and jaws are separate

[bold dove]

Correct.
Which is why they're able to extend their jaws.

[rigid palm]

Weww dats awways been obvious

[gusty turret]

I hate that

[teal kelp]

Wdym mr beast is a scam

[gusty turret]

Okay i can list an actually useless bug, fucking stink bugs

[bold dove]

I think they mean the tree thing he did.

[gusty turret]

Yeah^

[bold dove]

Trees are still important, since they're basically like the coral reefs of land.

[teal kelp]

Ikr

[gusty turret]

Stink bugs literally exist to kill your plants and smell like ass if you accidentally kill it

[bold dove]

And we get 'some' of our oxygen from them.
It's something like 40% of our oxygen is from trees, and 60% is from algae.

[teal kelp]

Those need to fucking die and then burn in hell

And then burn even deeper in hell

[bold dove]

They eat plants to keep plant populations low.
A lot of species do this.
And they smell like ass, since that's actually their defense mechanism. 👀

[gusty turret]

And then burn in Ohio, because thats like hell

[bold dove]

There's one type of beetle that can literally shit out fire.

[teal kelp]

The one that eats taco bell

[bold dove]

I call them the "Thunder ass beetles"

[gusty turret]

I prefer them not eating my garden and coming into my house to make it smell like shit

[bold dove]

And i'm not joking to. 🤣
Google "Bombardier beetles"

It's the closest thing we have to a real life natural fire-breath.

[gusty turret]

Wasps are also actually dicks that deserve to burn in hell

So are hornets

[teal kelp]

Ikr

[bold dove]

Wasps and hornets also help keep insect populations low.

[teal kelp]

They basically do the bees' job but worse

[bold dove]

More like they do spiders jobs, but they're not lazy housefathers anymore.

[gusty turret]

Yeah they also make my yells of anger high by stinging the fuck out of my finger because they can

[teal kelp]

"Maybe I treated you too harshly"

Luckily I never got stinged by a wasp or a hornet or anything like that

[gusty turret]

They come at me i dont go near them

[teal kelp]

Mosquitoes on the other hand

[bold dove]

Actually, wasps are pretty chill if you don't fuck with them.
Just respect their distance, and don't cause too much noises/vibrations near them.
Now hornets are just flatout asses.

[teal kelp]

Hornets deserve the lightning of absolution

[gusty turret]

Bruh wasps must just hate me or something then i never bother them

[bold dove]

But yeah, sadly hornets/wasp are important. Since billions of fucking insects are born a day, and hornets/wasps help kill a good 50% of those off.
Also helping those species evolve to become stronger, and become more resilient to wasps/hornets and also other stuff while they're at it.

[gusty turret]

One time in like 6th grade a wasp landed on my throat and luckily didn't fucking murder me

I nearly had a break down

[teal kelp]

Wtf

That's gotta be the worst shit ever

[bold dove]

"Yah like jazz?"

[gusty turret]

Arent some of the most venomous spiders actually so chill

[bold dove]

Nope.

A lot of them are aggressive as all hell.

[gusty turret]

I know black widows are usually pretty chill and wont put a hurting on you unless you deserve it

Brown recluse are assholes

[bold dove]

Black widows are the most venomous in "North America"
They're by far the lowest in the world.

[gusty turret]

Oh

[bold dove]

Go to fucking Africa.
You'll see what true pain is. 👀

[teal kelp]

I remember takin a shit recently and feeling something on my arm, I checked my arm and almost had a heart attack seeing a spooder on my arm

[gusty turret]

Bullet ants my beloved

[bold dove]

There's a type of spider that actually are social.
They live on colonies in trees, and literally web the whole trees.

[gusty turret]

Thank god the broodmother isn't based off a real thing

Hopefully

Im literally dying if a spider that big exists

Unless its Shelob, Shelob is a milf

[bold dove]

"Several social spiders including Parasteatoda wau and Anelosimus eximius also swarm in an analogous way to the eusocial ants, bees and wasps. These species disperse and establish new colonies by means of synchronized emigrations of adult and sub-adult females. After courtship and copulation, but prior to oviposition, many females will emigrate to a new nesting site and deposit their eggs, forming a new colony. In this way social spiders are also extremely inbred, as there is limited migration of males or juveniles to different colonies."
TL:DR. There's a type of spider that literally act like ants, but in trees.

[bold dove]

The biggest we have is actually still alive.
It's the size of a fucking bowling ball.

[teal kelp]

What's shelob

[bold dove]

Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit character.

[teal kelp]

Ah lol

[bold dove]

A giant ass spider mother than can transform herself into a human to seem more.....appeasing.

[gusty turret]

Could she actually do that in the story i thought that just happened in the Shadow of War game

[bold dove]

Oh no, she can.

If i recall right. In the book, Frodo was being mind controlled by her in her human form. Since her human form is almost like a Siren in mythology.

[gusty turret]

I don't remember that at all

[bold dove]

Been awhile since i read them.

I really do need to reread them.
Since fucking own them. 🤣

[teal kelp]

I just watched some lotr films

[bold dove]

They're good in their own way. But defiantly nothing close to the books.

[gusty turret]

Yeah books are always better

[bold dove]

Some exceptions.

I actually liked the Maze Runner movies more then the books.

[gusty turret]

That is a tough choice because i don't remember the books that much towards the end

[rigid palm]

cough cough percy jackson cough cough

[latent fractal]

lol that movie was.......something

[gusty turret]

Maze runner was really good all around

[bold dove]

We don't talk about that Sin of a movie here.

Oh yeah, fucking great series. And i'm glad the main story stopped before it could be ruined by some corporate ass.

[gusty turret]

Anything done by JKR is also a sin

[latent fractal]

I really liked the books but theres a reason I won't watch a single one of the movies

[bold dove]

The writer just does prequel books now. Explaining more about the virus, and how the Mazes where made.

[rigid palm]

The books were amazing. The movies were so horrible

[latent fractal]

Yeah exactly

[gusty turret]

Wait maze runner is actually so similar to Ark

[bold dove]

It's pretty similar, yeah.

[gusty turret]

In a way at least

[latent fractal]

I only watched the trailer and I was like what am I watching, don't want to waste any of my time watching that. and from what I read from others that was a good decision

[bold dove]

People are thrown into a artificial place to try to survive and find out the truth. All while being tested on for a form of a cure for a virus that killed off the planet.

[rigid palm]

Dont get me started on the movie Artemis Fowl lol

[rigid palm]

Yeah annabeth wasnt even blonde lol

[gusty turret]

Also if they did something that the controllers didn't like they were punished like when the doors stopped closing

[latent fractal]

Lol that one is the same, except I haven't read the books of that series the movie was...bad

[rigid palm]

Oh the books are really good. But the movie took the books and disregarded everything important about them

[bold dove]

Only mass difference though is that in Maze Runner, humans didn't cause the world to fuck up. It was natural means. But most destruction politics still argue over petty stuff.
While it's the reverse in ARK.
Humans caused the world to fuck up. But any petty politics died off with the world.

[latent fractal]

Like I really liked the harry potter books, movies were okay have seen worse. but the things she adds as back story i'm like what is this

[bold dove]

You ever read the Maze Runner books?

[latent fractal]

Yeah with artemis fowl and percy jackson i'm pretty certain the directors/writers didnt fully read the book lol

[rigid palm]

The first 5 min of artemis fowl is a quote on quote dialogue from book 3, and the rest never actually happened in the first book lol

[bold dove]

Newts death was hella sad in the books.
Sad in the movies too. But Thomas went ape shit in the books instead.

[rigid palm]

🤦‍♂️

[bold dove]

Sorry, not Newt.
That one kid.

Chuck, that's his name

[latent fractal]

Just from the trailer of the first movie I watched I spotted so many plot holes in the percy jackson movie compared to the books logic lol

[gusty turret]

Why do you punctuate every sentence over text in general conversation?

Is it just habit or?

[bold dove]

Why do you care?

[tender wasp]

Yeah the books are great.. the movies.. not so much.. the first is kinda ok and not as horrible but the second one was not like the books at all anymore..

[rigid palm]

Agreed

[latent fractal]

Yeah wasn't annabeth alot younger in the books than in the movies? atleast in the first one

[rigid palm]

I mean percy was 12 in the first book, in the movies he’s like 16

[latent fractal]

let me look it up real quick

[gusty turret]

Idk i just don't see many people at all that do it if it isn't for like business

[latent fractal]

In the last book percy was 16, and in the first movie he's also 16 lol, same for annabeth

[rigid palm]

Good design 👌

🙄

[latent fractal]

Yeah they probably just wanted that actor

and didn't want to pass him along as 12 lol, still thats a huge difference

[bold dove]

Yeah, just a habit.
Easier to convey how i feel and the tone of my voice if i do that.

[tender wasp]

Would not have been such a big issue when they did not change so much in general.. especially in the second movie which was horrible.

[humble kelp]

I prefer movies to fantasy books because I like seeing pretty pictures on screen. Am monkey

[gusty turret]

I like how we started talking about bugs n shit then it turned into books and movies

[bold dove]

We actually stated on the similarities of ARK's story to the real world. 👀

[mental basin]

I'm a man of literature not degeneracy.

[hybrid ice]

Guess im a degenerate then oof

[bold dove]

Yes

[hybrid ice]

Late reply but its just human nature at this point not a single period in time where we weren't fighting with eachother

[bold dove]

You're right. It 'is' Human nature.
That's why we need to learn and adapt to become something better.

[hybrid ice]

it'll probably never happen

[bold dove]

And even though it's Human nature. That's still not a excuse for something some people can overcome.

[hybrid ice]

Humans are too busy blowing each other up to do that

[bold dove]

You act like politics make up the bulk of humanity.
They're only a small group that yells the loudest though.

[hybrid ice]

Even without politics humans are naturally violent

though they do cause a majority of it

[bold dove]

Naturally violent? Yes.
That doesn't mean someones bad though.
Is a lion bad for killing a gazelle for food? No.
But if a lion kills another lion out of spite? Yes.

[hybrid ice]

If the earth ever unified or something like that I'd guarantee there'd be rebellions and wars regardless

[bold dove]

And in no offence at all. But it's usually people like you that see no hope for humanity in any light that causes us to go deeper into this rabbit hole. Since that mindset will spread to others, and making them think humanity doesn't deserve to live.
I'm personally trying to do something though.
My life plan is to try to make a mark on this world in a positive format. Showing the good nature of what humanity can do, instead of the bad that plagues us.
I'm no expert in anything. Nor do i know if this plan will work, nor do i expect it to work.
But if i can atleast do "something" to bring a positive impact. Then it'll be worth it. 🙂

[hybrid ice]

Nah i like being alive

[bold dove]

Think you just glossed over the whole point.

[hybrid ice]

I'm not very smart sorry

I realize what you meant now

now i gtg now

Cya

[lyric tendon]

sadly tribalism is ingrained in our primal instinct, there is always "us vs them" mentality and there is always a moment of disagreements that sometimes lead to violence

[rigid palm]

I agree with looking at the world positively, but at the same time earth is being destroyed and its all humanity’s fault. If we dont try to change something it will only get worse

I prefer being realistic on what is happening and then seeing what we can do about it

Not to say that looking at the world positively isn’t realistic

[bold dove]

I might've not phrased it right, or you might've glazed over it. But that's what i mean.

[rigid palm]

Ah sorry if I misunderstood

[bold dove]

I personally want to start a shark breeding facility.
Breeding sharks in a artificial environment for them. And encourage their survival instincts, and re-release them into the wild.

[hybrid ice]

Depends on what type

[lyric tendon]

sharks are just spicy fish

[bold dove]

Of course the ones that are 'able' to be breed in captivity.
Though there may be other solutions for the ones that are too shy on camera.

[lyric tendon]

Modern Zoomer: "dem dank memes"

Old English: "these marvelous memetics"

[mental basin]

Mission failed. We'll ge'im next time.

[mental basin]

See, when I inevitably die I want to get cremated and shot into space on a teensy rocket. It's.. weird I know but maybe something besides fertilizer can become of me up there, no? Then when you look up into the sky I'll be there. Dead. And ashy.

[tender wasp]

And this is how Element was born.

[mental basin]

[tender wasp]

Your plan has been exposed!

[mental basin]

Best thing I've seen all day

[worn bluff]

That is a really good goal.
The only problem is that it wouldn’t work for some sharks, either because we don’t know exactly how they reproduce or because they don’t survive for long in captivity, even if it’s temporary.

[gusty turret]

Sounds like what the precursors tried to do in Subnautica 😒

Sharks are apex predators, they've evolved a lot yet at the same time barely at all... It's probably the height of hubris for a human to think they have anything at all to offer a shark.

Other than leaving them alone, maybe recalibrate our fishing practices too? The ocean needs more sharks though so I can't say it's the worst idea lol

[mental basin]

Aw hail nuh dey got dat daymn edmon cockwel on gmo grothe hormons

[bold dove]

Well, yeah. It 'does' need more sharks since a lot of shark species are endangered due to poaching.

[gusty turret]

Lets do that but with rhinos and elephants

[bold dove]

Like....'you' can.
Sharks are more important though to the planets general ecosystem.

[gusty turret]

Elephant and Rhino

Make big shit, LOTS of fertilizer

[worn bluff]

Is the main reason why creatures such as the Megachelon and Ferox have six limbs because Genesis is a simulation?

I feel like that allows more defiance of reality than the other Arks.

[lyric tendon]

yeah but gen 2 proved that feroxes are real

[bold dove]

Element literally defies all of reality.

[mental basin]

Pretty much. But they're also real.

I can't remember, but if I recall they're heavily genetically engineered and modified.

[plain plover]

They are indeed fabricated to help survivors adapt in dangerous climates

[worn bluff]

I wonder if they will come back in Ark 2.

[plain plover]

Like bog spider in places with tall trees

Megachelon in vast spances of water

Ferox uh…

I guess the small form is good for survival

Magmasaur uh… volcanic areas?

Astrocestus uh… war with alien species?

Gen 2 also has this with its non-rockwell dinos

Maewing is pretty obvious

HLN-A claims the Astro Delphis is an alien but the person writing the dossier was not one who cared for the integrity of Ark’s universe

I think those are the only non-mechanical ones

Voidwyrms are completely non-sensical in the context of the dlc story

They attack humans, the most vital cargo of the ship, but they don’t attack the element based beings floating around the same biome they are in?

What are they even supposed to be defending?

[gusty turret]

Feroxs naturally shapeshift occasionally in the wild im pretty sure so theres probably supposed to be some canonical non element transformation with the variation of the ship which would help with war aswell but normally they do give insulation so

[fallow sapphire]

It has something to do with excitement, i assume with thinking you possess element… fun fact, I’ve tamed a 150 ferox with 1 element because when they rage without element it adds to the taming

[gusty turret]

I think that the voidwyrms attack players because Rockwell is in the subsystems so they like listen to him or something

[lyric tendon]

that is a possiblility

[gusty turret]

I like how defense units and enforcers are canonically supposed to attack us but they almost never actually do

[lyric tendon]

they do in ext tho

[fallow sapphire]

not really, enforcers only attack if a scout catches you trying to kill something or you hurt an enforcer, and defense units only attack creatures or if hurt

[plain plover]

Defense units and enforcers are canonically malfunctioning, as they have been actively running for eons

Defense units just attack everything, but enforcers are actually pretty intelligent. My theory as to why they resort to lethal force after you punched a park bench is that in its final days, Sanctuary became a police state, evident by the holo-banners

Here’s the funny thing, defense units in the tek trench are docile

[gusty turret]

Helena legit said that to them everything is a trespasser so they should be murdering everything but they just dont for some reason

"As you find your planet-legs within these ruins, take heed of its ghosts. Wraiths of shining metal wander its halls, on a hunt that will never end. They used to be this city's protectors, but they have grown feral without their leash. To them, all are trespassers. All must be destroyed."

[lyric tendon]

i don't think she's ordering them tho

it's more of a warning to those who set foot to ext

[bold dove]

That right there actually can easily just be the fact that the ones on the Genesis-ship are more maintained then the ones back on Earth.
Pretty common sense that a dead planet would have malfunctioning robots vs a ship that's only been taken over for like 20 years. And has robots and other measures active to keep everything maintained.

[gusty turret]

Or the banners could just be like how we have all the advertisement boards in time square

[bold dove]

No....they literally translate into stuff....

[gusty turret]

I just looked at all of them and theres only one that might lead you to think of police state which would be the ration one which is even then a stretch because it would make sense for them to do strict rations when they have few resources

[plain plover]

Enforcers are still malfunctioning to an extent, but they still continue to serve their original purpose

[gusty turret]

Helena said they don't listen to the system anymore so they're still following their base coding but replace -hostile intruders with -everyone is hostile

Why not just weaponize overseers against the hivemind

Overseers are demigods and they couldve made mini arks for purging element

[bold dove]

Overseers require a homo-deus to operate.
And they're more focused on building a army of survivors to do the dirty work on the ARK's.

[gusty turret]

Yeah but they could've just skipped arks and weaponized the overseers on Earth

Do you think overseers actually were a URE weapon of war beforehand

[bold dove]

🤷‍♂️

In the ark-2 channel. I was actually talking about a possible rts game set in the ARK universe that's during the tek-war.

[gusty turret]

I could see an Ark rts as a poorly made mobile game but not much else

[bold dove]

Kind of like a Starcraft like campaign also, where it's 3 factions fighting each other.
It'd help to get a better mindset of each faction, and their point in the war.

[bold dove]

Thought the same with Halo

[gusty turret]

Halo is Halo Ark is....... Well Ark

[bold dove]

None the less, if done right. Could work.

Again, no one thought a Halo rts would work in a FPS shooter game.

[lyric tendon]

I have seen Halo Wars which is the RTS version of Halo

It's a bit basic if you ask me

[bold dove]

Basic? Yes.
But none the less, people in the community love the games. In a community that's FPS focused.

[lyric tendon]

And that's how i got that idea for RTS Tek War.... Aside from the Exo Mek

[gusty turret]

I think id prefer them just make an rts from normal Ark and have like a big map with dinosaurs around you could send units to tame and stuff

Maybe in the center a giga boss you could tame

[lyric tendon]

You made it sound like DOTA 1 than a RTS like Warcraft

[bold dove]

I don't think you're getting the point davaydg.

[gusty turret]

Im getting your moms point 🤣

[bold dove]

Ah, so you 'are' 5 years old.
That explains your conversations.

[lyric tendon]

Heh

[gusty turret]

No its pretty funny

[bold dove]

That you're 5?
Yeah, it is.

[bold dove]

Shouldn't you get back to your match on Fortnite?

[gusty turret]

No i paused it

[lyric tendon]

I would love to know the roster of each faction

I was thinking that the URE has the Tek Dinos while the Feds have the aesthetics of say, the enforcer, drones, and Meks

[gusty turret]

Yeah that'd be cool

Who gets the tek atv

[lyric tendon]

Since it's in Island, maybe URE

[gusty turret]

If i know anything about rts it's spam a light armor army for the first 5 minutes then rush the hell out of them

But my main experience with rts is airmech arena and sudden strike 4 so

Actually Stellaris is a rts so that too

Stellaris strategy is either artillery spam or corvette spam no in-between

So if both factions were to get some ultra unit it would probably be an overseer for URE and a megamek for the Federation right?

And corruption could be a third faction probably and its ultra unit would be some sort of titan

[lyric tendon]

King Titan obviously

[timid oar]

uuuuuuuuuuuuh

[astral cedar]

HLN-A claims the Astro Delphis is an alien why

[lyric tendon]

because it is

[astral cedar]

but why

[bitter barn]

[tender wasp]

Cause WC decided they are aliens.

[digital flower]

Kind of makes sense

I mean we do find them by jumping between different solar systems

[lost sierra]

They are just aliens

[lyric tendon]

pretty much aliens

[tired osprey]

Case #13978 @vapid bane has been muted for 2 hours.
Reason: Mass Tagging

[rocky wing]

are the arks chunk's of the earth or were they empty and then got filled with a crap load of dirt, sand, rock and trees?

[mental basin]

Chunks of Earth.

Probably messed around with, but they were definitely from Earth.

[rocky wing]

was about to say, abberation doesnt look like earth but with some modifications, would be possible

[mental basin]

Well Aberration is also destroyed, so..

[rocky wing]

honestly, considering homo deus are a thing, i believe most things are possible

[mental basin]

Teleportation, aliens, sentient ore..

[rocky wing]

and isnt it just the 21st century?

nvm i think 22nd

[mental basin]

No.

I think it's like, the 24th.

[latent fractal]

Think its alot later during our time on the ark

unless you mean when they build the arks

[rocky wing]

oh yeah thats what i meant

[gusty turret]

In my head the Arks just materialized the soil from element, since The one who waits talks about it taking "resources" to respawn you, the same "resources" that would be used to purge the element from Earth, if they took the soil from Earth it would've been filled with element like the soil on the ship is

[rocky wing]

depends

was all of the earth corrupted?

(at that point of time)

honestly, i think you may have a point there

[latent fractal]

Yeah didn't the overseer from SE choose a desert for his ark? believe that was in a note, I always figured the overseers had some kind of control over the arks appearance

[gusty turret]

The overseers could literally make anything they felt like it, if Aberrations old overseer wanted a desert man could morph it all into a desert, it's just what they want

[rocky wing]

lets take the island as an example. i dont know much about this but wouldnt it be impossible that the south part of an island is tropical with rain forests and all that and the north is covered in snow?

[latent fractal]

Think there was atleast a bit in most of the soil, not sure on everywhere but with the amount of dirt/sand they would need to fill the arks there would atleast be a bit.

And with the arks being able to create creatures, respawn players is it really that weird they are able to change the ark to their liking

also on SE the overseer created the wyvern trench as an punishment right? don't think that was there prior

[gusty turret]

Yeah

Reapers were also created as punishment on Aberration

Giga was created as punishment for the new legion i believe

[latent fractal]

Yeah

Don't think it was confirmed that the reapers were a punishment though, but with the giga and wyverns being a punishment it makes the most sense

[rocky wing]

yeah

[latent fractal]

or it was confirmed in that reddit post, but never in the notes

[rocky wing]

basically, arks are not really part of the earth and mostly made by the overseers

cuz there is no way that a climate like on the island would be able to exist

it doesnt simply switch from 30 degrees to -10

the transition from warm to cold is unnatural

[gusty turret]

Island must've had a lot of tornadoes now that i think about it unless overseer controlled that too which it probably did

[rocky wing]

either the island was fully created by the overseers or the north on the island was never covered in snow and the overseers did that

[mental basin]

What the Hell do you guys even know the Lore

[mental basin]

Nope

[mental basin]

Nope

[mental basin]

Probably but they never did

Dear God everything here is wrong

[rocky wing]

then explain it to us

[mental basin]

What do you need explained

[rocky wing]

if you feel like doe

everything that you negated

[mental basin]

Alright so
ARKs were sent to sky using bits of Earth probably terraformed in some way
Overseers just watch over and maintain the ARKs

[rocky wing]

right

[mental basin]

That's it
I don't feel like going in depth with all of this surface knowledge

[rocky wing]

alright

[lyric tendon]

i mean it makes sense to have at least have a piece of uncorrupted earth in space

we don't have much evidence that overseers do terraform, they do spawn creatures but never terraform

[rigid palm]

Wait, so if gigas were created after the ark was launched, that might explain why their size is so inaccurate, since everything else was guided by human scientists and paleontologists to create (sort of) the correct size but the overseer didnt have the ability to see the fossils

Correct me if im wrong, anyone?

[lyric tendon]

all of them are GMO, so accuracy is out of the question

including otters and vultures

[rigid palm]

Gmo?

[lyric tendon]

Genetically
Modified
Organism

[rigid palm]

Ah

[lyric tendon]

and since there are (Corrupted) Gigas in Ext, i doubt it's just a overseer thing

[rigid palm]

True, didnt think about that

[haughty cosmos]

Do the custom arks like crystal isles fit into the story or are they non canon? I think it would be super interesting if they were part of the canon, just not in the main story.

Like other stories in the universe

[gusty turret]

They're non canon but it's possible they still actually exist in the story

Just of no significance

[haughty cosmos]

Ah ok I just think it’s cool to think about how there are other survivors out there on these other arks but it isn’t part of the big picture

[mental basin]

They find actually happen

[steady citrus]

Can someone go into full depth on how the arks were created I've been confused how they were made after finishing all of the explorer notes

[mental basin]

The literally messed around with chunks of land on Earth and sent them into space to avoid Element corruption

They come down and fix Earth

[mental basin]

NeddyTheNoodle has an amazing video on it

[steady citrus]

I'll watch it when I'm home

[gusty turret]

Where does it say they were from Earth?

If the overseers can materialize reapers and wyverns into existence because it doesn't like what a civilization is doing im sure it can create some artificial terrain

[fallow sapphire]

the fact that they were gonna build the arks on the surface, but so that stuff couldnt get in and out they sent them into space... do you not see the giant crater on extinction?

[gusty turret]

No.....?

Where's that

[fallow sapphire]

you're kidding right? The giant crater on the south side of the map which the ARK returns to in the extinction ending

[gusty turret]

I avoid the south part of the map at all cost because the spinos terrify me

So makes sense

[steady citrus]

So my main question is how did Santiago get on the Gen 2 ship. If his clone died in ext and his true body was still in ab (I'm pretty sure) how did this all happen.

[bold dove]

His true body died around 100,000 years ago.

There's 4 Santiago's.
-Tek war Santiago (the OG)
-Aberration-Extinction Santiago.
-Genesis 2 notes Santiago.
-Genesis 2 endings Santiago.

[steady citrus]

Hm ark lore makes sense

[teal kelp]

Santiagoception

[bold dove]

It's called having a actual interesting lore. And not being handfed to you.

[latent fractal]

The Santiago from aberration and ext is the same

[teal kelp]

Tek war santiago is Sigmatiago

[steady citrus]

Now ima Hella confused

Is everyone on the ark a clone

[bold dove]

YES!

[steady citrus]

I need to re Read the notes ... just maybe

[latent fractal]

Yes, that’s also how Santiago is on gen 2, even though he died on ext and his real body way back in the tek war

[teal kelp]

Fun fact: we can be real people that's why my survivor on my story playthrough was named "assbeater420"

[bold dove]

No.

[teal kelp]

yes ⛔

[ornate heron]

[bold dove]

Ignore Omni, he's just fucking around.

[teal kelp]

yes

[ornate heron]

He is swag

[steady citrus]

Hm so the arks were trials to stop ele corruption and the remains of humans were on the Gen 2ship/simulation and were cloned to stop thebele corruption?

[bold dove]

If 'that's' what swag is. No wonder why that term is dead.

[ornate heron]

He is swag though

[bold dove]

Half correct.

[latent fractal]

The arks were made to fight the corruption, the genesis ship tried to find a new home for humanity

[ornate heron]

And then the fat knobhead guy came in

[bold dove]

The ARK's where created to preserve life. But their "secondary" objective where to build strong enough survivors to send back onto Earth to kill the titans. Which the titans where the central force of the corruption hivemind on Earth.
The Genesis-ship on the other hand just wanted to fucking dip. Didn't care about saving Earth, and decided to just find a new habitable world.

[teal kelp]

Yes

The arks were made by the URE and the gen ship by the Terran federation (iirc)

[bold dove]

Ah, for once you're correct.

[steady citrus]

Ah this makes so much more sense

[bold dove]

Not sure if that's fucking sarcasm or not?

[steady citrus]

It's not

Actually makes sense

Welp time to find out how the cloning worked

[teal kelp]

What they did was basically clone dead people, the URE removed their past memories while the terran fed didn't (IIRC)

[bold dove]

They grew people in gene tubes.

It's all explained in the Aberration notes.

[teal kelp]

Using dead people dna right?

[bold dove]

No shit.

[steady citrus]

Also sorry for being so blind I was reading a doc of them in class

[bold dove]

Which we can actually do in real life. Just on a much slower scale.

[teal kelp]

Me creating an army of clones 😈

[gusty turret]

Well the ship was a combined effort if i remember correctly from Santiagos notes

[bold dove]

Good luck.
It takes the same amount of time to make clones as it is for a fetus to grow into a baby. Then that baby has to grow up to a reasonable age to fight.
Like i said, slower.

[teal kelp]

It will take years but it will be worth it

[steady citrus]

So your saying we can replicate dinos in the real world. Asking this because a study shows intact Dino DNA was found

[bold dove]

Nope, since dino DNA is long dead.
DNA can only last a few hundred thousands of years. They've been dead for millions. The DNA strains have withered away.

[teal kelp]

Sad

[bold dove]

Can you send me a link?
Cause that sounds like it's bullshit.

[steady citrus]

Can't remember where I found it, I think me and my father were talking about this a while back from a research article he read

[steady citrus]

Also are you a biologist or something?

[worn bluff]

Who are the good guys.
The URE or the Terran Federation?

[teal kelp]

None

[bold dove]

I'm not a biologist. But i've done research about shit like this, and there's nowhere i can find that suggests that dinosaur dna can be preserved for this long.
Unless they've found it in the literal coldest place on the planet. Antarctica.

[bold dove]

None.
They where both shitty in their own rights.

[worn bluff]

The answer is…..
||It’s fiction.||

[bold dove]

That's not what we're fucking talking about.

[worn bluff]

I know.
But that’s the real reason they can clone dinosaurs.

[bold dove]

And?
That's not what we're talking about.

We're talking about nothing related to ARK.

[worn bluff]

Oh, I see.

[latent fractal]

Element was the reason, which your right is fiction but you don’t expect the lore to be real right

[worn bluff]

I’m just saying cloning dinosaurs in real life would be impossible.

[steady citrus]

Also are there small intact ruins of Rockwell manor

[latent fractal]

There’s ruins all across the map not sure if Rockwell manor is one of them, if it is it’s probably just a couple rocks left

[bold dove]

No, not that we know of.

[latent fractal]

Do we know around where Rockwell manor would have been?

[steady citrus]

I don't think so

[gusty turret]

I would imagine Redwoods

He seems like a very redwoodsy man

[digital flower]

I'd imagine close to the swamp

since he liked studying the wonders of the island and messing around with different unnatrual compounds the swamp probably would've been his best bet

[gusty turret]

He still could've lived in the redwoods and been close to the swamp so im leaving my bets there

Or maybe that hill by the first island spawn overlooking the swamp

[digital flower]

Maybe yeah

[bitter barn]

Didn't they use something called engrammic matrix? IIRC that is what they used to clone/recreate humans right?

"I did a spot of research just now, and it turns out that there’s something called an “engrammic matrix” that persists in the human brain after death.
If the conditions are just right and that matrix gets preserved, scientists can scan it, even centuries later." - HLNA Tidbit Glitch Discovery #20

[mental basin]

Ye

[mental basin]

Anywhere but the Tundra.

[bold dove]

I actually liked where Ned chose in the Survivor Stories.
Rockwell wouldn't live in a hella harsh place, since he 'IS' a old man without any guards or protection. But he's still ballsy enough to live 'near' the swamp to study it.

[ornate hull]

Just saying they probably just altered existing animal Genes tell they got dinos

[bold dove]

That's not at all what i was talking about.

[ornate hull]

Ik

I'm just sayin

[gusty turret]

Is it really that unrealistic that they just materialized the dinosaurs into existence without any genes, seeing as thats kinda what they had to do for a shit load of the creatures like magmas and bloodstalkers and feroxs and wyverns and such

They most likely had genes for the astrocetus actually since im pretty sure they spawn in gen 2 lunar

[fallow sapphire]

I think delphis and astrocetus isn’t explained by being spawned over them being all over the universe, including where we travel too

[gusty turret]

There's no way astrodelphis are just everywhere right they would've had to've been implemented somehow

Also how do voidwyrms come with us when we go to warp speed

Or anything out in space

[rigid palm]

Dont think they do lore-speaking, but in game they do just to keep people from going crazy after losing a 90% tamed voidwyrm due to ship jumps

Thats just my theory, no evidence to back it up tho

[fallow sapphire]

Obviously just a theory, but i assume as they are supposed to guard “earth’s riches”, they dock before the ship jumps, and come back out after

[gusty turret]

Voidwyrms are actually so dumb

Im so glad wildcard put effort into them instead of just reskinning a regular wyvern and giving it a stupid taming method

[fallow sapphire]

Its great isnt it? I found so many uses with them in my playthrough

[left vortex]

im not surprised. as soon as saw their early concept photo, i knew they were just gonna be a tek wyvern even though they made it sound like it would act different. i didnt even bothered taming one on Gen2

[gusty turret]

They're half decent if you get them early on but as always, shadowmane trumps them

[left vortex]

like i said i didnt bother getting one. maybe when i reach Gen2 on my ultimate ark challenge i will

[gusty turret]

I hate maewings too

Bloodstalkers are my transport mount of choice

[left vortex]

i highly disagree on that one. Maewings quicly became one of my favorite creatures in Ark

[bold dove]

Why?

[gusty turret]

I just don't like its controls

[left vortex]

they glide/slide. they're a walking nursery, they produce every form of kibble

[bold dove]

The maewings weren't "only" made for transportation.
They can also produce any quality of eggs. And are A-sexual, so they don't need a opposite sexed mate.

[left vortex]

and they're genderless but can still be breed and dont even have 1000 torpor to tame

that's a bargin for a solid creature

[bold dove]

Helps reduce the 100s of pointless yuty's to tame just for eggs.

[left vortex]

yeah for sure

plus just a giant flying squirrel platypus... do i need to say anything else

[gusty turret]

Maybe a couple to name perry

But i just find them uninteresting to use

[fallow sapphire]

I agree Maewings are good, definitely useful all around, voidwyrms have little purpose for pve, and no purpose for solo

[steady citrus]

has anyone found the age of rockwell

or the close age

[lofty apex]

Mid 60 i think

[bold dove]

Around his 70s.

[mental basin]

Nope. They're just in Space. Nothing else to it.

[mental basin]

That would be a headcanon

[mental basin]

I Tamed one for the Explorer Note

[gusty turret]

Theyre definitely supposed to guard something

[mental basin]

I like it got that aspect. But not for the travel. I personally prefer Exo-Suit. If I need to kill something, I just punch it right in it's face.

Oh yeah, plus Eggs.

[gusty turret]

Not just headcanon they're protecting something

[mental basin]

No? I'm talking about Astrodelphis.

[bold dove]

Astro's are aliens.

[mental basin]

They're legitimately alien Creatures.

[gusty turret]

This was talking about voidwyrms

[bold dove]

Which they'd be considered our first ever "tamable" alien species.

[mental basin]

Oh yeah, Voidwyrms protected cargo or smthn I can't remember..

[gusty turret]

Eh id count astrocetus even though the ones in the simulation weren't real

[bold dove]

Voidwyrms don't do anything.
They don't have any plot to them.

[bold dove]

That's why i said "astro's"
Astrocetus are on Genesis 2.

[mental basin]

I could've sworn HLN-A said something about them somewhere

NYEH

[gusty turret]

The voiceline when you tame them says otherwise

[bold dove]

Hang on, let me see.

[gusty turret]

"Whoever designed those flying robotic sentries must've been into twentieth century high fantasy epics...
They feel like something from those old dragon-and-wizard adventures -- the crew manuals even call them 'voidwyrms'.
Exactly what a fan of that genre would want guarding all of Earth's riches!"

[bold dove]

Sorry, i'm rubbing off of Redstone

[mental basin]

"Whoever designed those flying robotic sentries must've been into twentieth century high fantasy epics...
They feel like something from those old dragon-and-wizard adventures -- the crew manuals even call them 'voidwyrms'.
Exactly what a fan of that genre would want guarding all of Earth's riches!"
So they're just guarding the Rings. I bet they're surrounding the Ship protecting it.

So they're just Guards. Cool I guess.

[gusty turret]

And then there are enforcers and defense units in the tek trench defending the inside

[mental basin]

Fits like a glove.

[bold dove]

I just fucking noticed that you're Gavin.

[gusty turret]

My reason for the voidwyrms attacking us is Rockwell had his tentacles all up in the subsystems screwing with them

[mental basin]

[bold dove]

Or it's just the same reasoning why overseers wipe out civilizations when they get to big. Even though that defies the point of "preserving"

[gusty turret]

You think they would program voidwyrms to attack crew, and it wouldn't just be Rockwell having them attack us?

[mental basin]

Yeah.. no? They're legitimately just guarding the Genesis Ship. We are intruding into their domain. Hell, we're not even supposed to be out there. We're supposed to be sleeping in out little chambers.

[bold dove]

They have giga's on the ship. So yes.

[gusty turret]

True actually

Aren't the Gigas Rockwell's doing tho since they're R variant?

[bold dove]

Nope.
There's giga's on the Eden ring.

And they're normal variants.

[mental basin]

They Voidwyrms are probably seeing us as a threat. We're foreign. Not part of the crew.
We're
Now hear me out
An ||Imposter||

[bold dove]

For fuck sakes.

[mental basin]

Someone please end the suffering

[bold dove]

The only way to end it, is to ignore it.

Let the fucking meme die.

[mental basin]

The voices Spartan

[gusty turret]

And i guess when we go through the rock tumbler things, we're ||venting||

[mental basin]

Jokes aside we aren't something farmiliar to the Voidwyrms
We're like any other impending force upon their Task

[bold dove]

That's fucking it. I'm leaving.

[gusty turret]

Nida actually is an imposter she was crawling through the vents so much

So is Gabriel

[mental basin]

Jesus Christ when will it end

[gusty turret]

Theres so many imposters on this ship

[bold dove]

Among Us is no different then Fnaf.
A overhyped game that people over abuse memes on.

[mental basin]

I can't be here anymore I'm gonna lose my marbles Stranger Things style

[bold dove]

'pssst'
Worst part is, they're probably around 5-10 years old. So they're probably making these jokes unironically.

[mental basin]

[lyric tendon]

memes are unavoidable

[bold dove]

You're right.
But memes that have been around for 6 months shouldn't.

[mental basin]

Among us isn't a meme anymore

It's a part of everyday life

Can't even look at a fucking backpack or t-shirt without having flashbacks

Everywhere you go

"Sussy"

It doesn't end

[bold dove]

It's only a everyday thing if you embrace it.
Stop embracing the darkness.

[gusty turret]

Fnaf was actually so good you can't even diss it

[bold dove]

Actually, i can. And i just fucking did.

The only thing remotely interesting was the lore. And even that's dragging on now.

[rigid palm]

Perry the Maewing B)

[gusty turret]

The og fnaf lore ended with UCN and that was mainly just William being punished in hell, it really ended with Pizzeria simulator

The new stuff is dumb and probably sucks

[plain plover]

in reality, it's not that much of a stretch from the ridiculous things happening in the og

[gusty turret]

Its like Ark it should've ended with the original storyline and not tried to start new stuff for more money 🤞

[bold dove]

It's almost like that's how studios stay a fucking float.

[lyric tendon]

They should've made a prequel instead

I just wonna know why the Tek War happened

I mean, every war started with a reason

[bold dove]

Last time they tried something new we got Atlas.
And look at how that went.

[gusty turret]

Wildcard had so many different options, tek war rts, completely rework Atlas and have it tell a story of a singular Ark, have a different game that covered different arks with all different creatures

[bold dove]

And yet they are doing basically that, with ARK 2 having nearly nothing to do with ARK 1. Being a standalone story.

[lyric tendon]

ARK 1's story is kinda optional for the majority

The reason why they want to make ARK 2 is to want to tell their own story... Hence Gens' notes are different than your usual ARK notes

[gusty turret]

Im waiting for element to become the main problem in Ark 2 i can feel it

[lyric tendon]

Umm no

[bold dove]

Those orcs are the obvious issue.

[lyric tendon]

I prefer human colonization being the problem

[bold dove]

And element will probably return in a way. But doubt it'll be a villain.

Element waifu. 👀

[lyric tendon]

Kaiju waifu?

||deletes search history||

[bold dove]

Don't....don't make that rhyme.

[gusty turret]

Rockwell was already my element waifu

Mans had a massive dumpy

[bold dove]

Aaaaand that's when i leave this chat again.

[gusty turret]

We literally crawled into his dumpy and up to his heart to fight him

We vented through Rockwell's dumpy.....

[lyric tendon]

why

[gusty turret]

Someone had to say it

[lyric tendon]

🇼 🇭 🇾

🇹 🇭 🇴

[gusty turret]

Its true tho we vented in his dumpy to fight him

Mans is dead so respectfully thinks about dumpy

[teal kelp]

We vented ⛔

[rustic rose]

imagine a nerd actually found every bits of lore and make the lore very deep-

[lyric tendon]

Imagine people dislike people having fun discussions about the game's story

Just imagine having fun in general

Imagine saying "imagine" to the things that already happened but stayed ignorant because "just for lolz" or "just to feel cool or superior" but being sad and miserable in reality

[lyric tendon]

I'm sleep deprived and not in the absolute mood for logic-less BS

[teal kelp]

I highly doubt he meant to insult

[rustic rose]

wdym? im joking

i dont mean nerdz in a bad way _(:))_/

i mean it could be very cool right

for a person to like found every bits of lore in ark

[lyric tendon]

People who usually say "imagine" like it wasn't rethorical are usually said it as a mockery towards people who have interests that they dislike

It really grinds my gears sometimes

[rustic rose]

oh Im sorry to use the word "imagine"

[stiff ice]

🤡🤡🤡🤡

[stiff ice]

so anyway- i only knew ark basic while my brother only thinks that ark = dinosaurs = game

Hmm sums up about you tbh

You are no king either and last time i checked, ARK has no monachy

he seems sussy

Well that's the tip of the iceberg, if you go around reading explorer notes and dossiers, there is a hidden lore in the game

[stiff ice]

Fight back! Fight back!

[teal kelp]

Clearly, you are trying to get attention

[rustic rose]

yeah i read those. but like me i suddenly forget what i read sometimes. i knew about helena and peter edward guy's lore but not pretty deep. read helena's oviraptor ;-;

[lyric tendon]

Peter Edward?

[teal kelp]

Oh hey its Peter from family guy

[lyric tendon]

Simply put, Helena wants to be the very best, like no one ever was, to watch them is her real test, to learn them is her cause

She would travel across the island, searching far and wide
These obelisks to understand the secrets that reside

[rustic rose]

cool

[rustic rose]

idk Edward guy. my cousin have a very similiar name with his- i forgot

[gusty turret]

Someone who names themself the king of Ark probably only plays fiber craft and even sucks at that

[stiff ice]

[teal kelp]

Ohh noo someone spammed the clown emoji I'm gonna cry 😭 😭 😭

[merry cipher]

[mental basin]

[tender wasp]

[gusty turret]

Global chat exists for a reason

[fallow sapphire]

Psh what no, the lore channel is dedicated to people stuck on official servers

[lyric tendon]

umm i'm not an official player and never well be

[bronze turtle]

hmmm

so, anybody ever wondered what happened to the chinese girl that had a pack of raptors

[lyric tendon]

after Ext, no one knows

yet they promised they are coming back... some how

[gusty turret]

You dare refer to Mei Yin, the Beast Queen, as "the chinese girl that had a pack of raptors"

[lyric tendon]

I mostly called her the "admin abuser"

[bronze turtle]

mhm

lmfao. am i wrong?

[fallow sapphire]

I mean she is a bit more then just a chinese girl with a pack of raptors

But generalizing yes i guess

[lyric tendon]

If ARK is set in Val instead of Island, she would be hella alpha with her pack of deins

[fallow sapphire]

That would be terrifying

[bronze turtle]

-_-, she chinese, she has a pack of raptors. that all i remember her by. that why i refered o her as the chinese gurl with a pack of raptors

[bronze turtle]

bruh, fr

[fallow sapphire]

I mean fair, but she tamed much more then just raptors, killed the Roman guy who wanted to destroy everyone on the ARK

[gusty turret]

She also had a giga, rexes, carnos, basically everything that would fuck shit up

[fallow sapphire]

Tamed a drake, didnt even have to steal an egg

[gusty turret]

It would've been so cool if she got a reaper

[lyric tendon]

She would ez solo destroy The New Legion if they were deins instead of plain raptors

[gusty turret]

Didn't Nerva invent some dumb sky net thing to protect against flying attacks

I could've swore i remembered that

[fallow sapphire]

These trap things to lure fliers in then trap them

And technically he didnt, it was his architect

[bronze turtle]

aight, i know this is a big stretch when ya'll dont even know me XD but, 1 of ya'll... or both dwon to hop on i voice channel coz im hooked on the lore but i feel left out since i dont know much XD

just to discuss it. idk

[lyric tendon]

I'm on my phone atm

[fallow sapphire]

Same lol

[bronze turtle]

what does that mean? can you not talk on phone or somn'?

hmm?

[lyric tendon]

I rather not disturb other people around me

[fallow sapphire]

I can hop on in the future, but for now its gonna be a bit unless someone can take over

[bronze turtle]

ahh, i see

[lyric tendon]

Plus i can say what is on my mind easily in text compared in VC

[fallow sapphire]

Can agree there, much better in text then actually talking

[bronze turtle]

oh and another question. is there a pve server that popular on this server. recommendations.

[gusty turret]

Overall plot is old British guy injects himself with magic metal and becomes hentai monster, hentai monster fucks shit up and we kill him, the end

[lyric tendon]

That is just the Author's plot

Not the whole game

[bronze turtle]

damn, i would've though vc would be easy because you can say what you want faster and easier

[bronze turtle]

im british hehe. i can relate

[lyric tendon]

Being bilingual isn't easy

[bronze turtle]

interesting

[fallow sapphire]

Can relate…? Have you injected yourself with element or something?

[bronze turtle]

yupp 🙂

[fallow sapphire]

Impressive, you have the super metal that will destroy the planet in the future, congrats

[bronze turtle]

thank you thank you

[lyric tendon]

So do you experienced a crippling anxiety of absolute jealousy

[bronze turtle]

YES

[lyric tendon]

Do you will go out of your way to make your goal happen, even if committing mass murder?

[bronze turtle]

due to the absolute cripple i suffer on a daily basis. i have extra large pp power

[bronze turtle]

bruh, do you even have to ask that? of course i would. even if i didnt have a goal

[lyric tendon]

Rockwell has a goal so... 3.5/5

Needs more ambition -IGN

[bronze turtle]

-_- i see, thanks for the honesty ig

oh, and rockwell is my father

you see, the day he injected that super neon pink fluid into his veins, i inhabited his body for a little while. we went on endless journeys to the corners of the arks. we had great fun without any sign of halt, except... this one lass. her nationality was chinese and she was just fixated on these demonic killing machines. they had a crazed hunger for the squeals of human under their bone snapping jaws. terrifying indeed...

Raptor i believe they went by. on day as me and my father tretched through the depths of the jungles, we stumbled upon said lass. and there she was... in her grasp a minute creature no bigger than my hand, and she seemed... to be caring for it... nothing made sense. a human showing hospitality towards a creature of mass destruction...

what am i doing? lmfao. im just making random shit up in my head and typing it. sorry about that

[arctic bison]

People wanting to talk about Lore are going to see it

[rustic rose]

so...

[fallow sapphire]

probably

[stiff grail]

Hey Friends, I have noticed this channel has gone off topic recently, please keep in mind this channel is for discussing the lore of Ark and not for off topic discussions.

Thank you in advance 🙂

[lyric tendon]

umm the lore nerdz are always go off topic... for some reason

[bold dove]

This channel was actually created to keep my disgusting ass lore away from general chat like....5 months ago?
I couldn't stop talking about "Rockwell's Anus" and since it 'technically' isn't NSFW since this was from their own concept art. They just smited me into here instead.
And we go off topic 24/7 here. This is really more of a "shitpost" channel at this point.

[stiff ice]

🤡🤡🤡

[rustic rose]

once upon a time the world was doomed. the overseer decided to make ark. people lived in ark. people in ark makes notes that gives us exp for somereason. and for somereason structure gets destroyed lookin pebble and stuff. meanwhile now the ark is populated with people on officials and nonofficials pvp and pve and people are now imortal since they can teleport and respawn

and tek. why didn't the previous explorers makes tek leftovers

why didn't they used metal and tek

[tender wasp]

[lyric tendon]

because 1, majority of them are either caveman to modern day or even pre-Tek eras

2 a Tek village already made a Tek Nuke to blew up the overseer and look what happened to Abb

3 most of the Tek people are in the Gen ship and never coming back

[tender wasp]

It actually depends on the Ark.. Abs had element on the Ark which the Tek tribe could utilize (it was minable or similar) and all were from the Tek time era, Island never had that so no Tek and no element (in canon) and non of them seemed to be from the Tek era.

[lyric tendon]

4 most people who are playing ARK today are either forever in a simulation (i.e. "Survive the ARK") or not canon at all

[rustic rose]

oh

[tender wasp]

You forgot Gabriel = Paranoid tribe member that likes no one, distrusts everybody and sees insiders everywhere ? ^^

[lyric tendon]

oh god yes, this is my day 1 in every season

it's my rule #1 of playing ARK: "don't get too attached"

[tender wasp]

And you forgot Diana

[lyric tendon]

i'm still can't figure out Diana yet

or doesn't have a ARK player equivalent

[tender wasp]

Diana = mostly the more positive tribe member that encourages the tribe leader to add poor lonely Ark players into the tribe.

[lyric tendon]

so basically the Philanthropist/the alpha tribe member that gives out old tames to bobs
