[gusty turret]

I just remember mass pulling on each other

My teacher was also a crazy old woman tho who sang to us a lot

[bronze turtle]

Makes sense. Theres hundreds of arks and the ark are pretty big

why is the eden ring from genesis 2 in halo infinite lmao

[bronze turtle]

It's called halo for a reason

eden halo

Yes

And ark took a LOT of inspiration from galo

what tf is eden biome doing in halo

Right down to the title

[gusty turret]

Mass=density x volume i think? Im almost certain temperature doesn't matter

[heavy sandal]

but big fat in small spot make warms

[bronze turtle]

Halo: combat evolved
Ark: survival evolved
Coincidence? I think not

i think do

so ark is just halo survival game? but why the eden ring in halo?

[bronze turtle]

No it's just ark took lots of inspiration from halo

[gusty turret]

Halo had ring worlds before Ark, so why is a ringworld from Halo in Ark?

[bronze turtle]

ik theyre not connected im just confused why eden in ark

And eden ring would actually originally be halos's property

[bronze turtle]

oh wait so halo ring in ark not eden ring in halo?

[gusty turret]

Precisely

[bronze turtle]

Yep

[gusty turret]

Lets sue wildcard

[bronze turtle]

i understand now my bad i didnt play halo until yesterday

[rigid palm]

get them to release fjordur early and make it an empty map that no one likes
history repeats itself

[bronze turtle]

The eden ring is still an original design but heavily inspired from halo

i want a master chief suit in ark that doesnt fly its just good armor no fly

[bronze turtle]

The cycle continues, so to speak

[gusty turret]

Put on a tek suit and don't have element

[bronze turtle]

😠

[bronze turtle]

Or use the skin

good idea

[gusty turret]

Probably use the skin so you can have it on flak

[bronze turtle]

i dont like this item must require element to function when i jump

[gusty turret]

What the energy sword thing from Halo

[bronze turtle]

you mean the bent paper clip?

It's a good weapon

Totally didnt inspire the tek sword or tek claws

[gusty turret]

They should make that a skin for the tek sword

[bronze turtle]

No for the claws

[gusty turret]

Or actually itd be better for claws

[bronze turtle]

That would be dope

your copyright laws cant stop me

[gusty turret]

We all know wildcard cant read

[bronze turtle]

Wildcard is partnered with microsoft

[gusty turret]

Or they just don't have a calendar in the studio to know when to release things

[bronze turtle]

true

[rigid palm]

looks at lost island
proof

[bronze turtle]

perry im gonna copyright u

[gusty turret]

Me too

[bronze turtle]

yeah get copyrighted

[rigid palm]

never!

[bronze turtle]

I mean it's best to over delay taht to come ut unfinished as cod has proven

damn guess u wont

[rigid palm]

copyright that one panda instead

[gusty turret]

Boom i copyrighted your color

[rigid palm]

copyright it now

[gusty turret]

Crap

[bronze turtle]

im gonna wear op riot on gen2 and put on the tek skin and paint it the colors of idk a spartan

[gusty turret]

I don't have to take this im gonna go play fortnite

[bronze turtle]

spoider man

yeah same im out

[ornate hull]

Just gets rid of the magnetic field and atmosphere

[bronze turtle]

please tell me what cutscene this is it sounds so badass

ive been searching for it for days

please

[ornate hull]

What game ya talking about

[bronze turtle]

ark ragnarok

[ornate hull]

Sence when did rag have a cutscene

[bronze turtle]

i dont know

[heavy sandal]

[bronze turtle]

i wanna see gigas take over ragnarok

[gusty turret]

Its the one when you beat the second boss

[bronze turtle]

bro dude please

what is the second boss

[heady tundra]

ark lore makes no sense, just aussie turn into robot and says dumb things :troll:

[bronze turtle]

tell me if its a lie

im losing my mind over this

[gusty turret]

The one after the first

[bronze turtle]

im gonna fucking scream

i cant count

[gusty turret]

Upload it on YouTube or it didn't happen

[bronze turtle]

there isnt a second boss

[gusty turret]

Then why would there be a secret cutscene for it if there wasn't one

[bronze turtle]

unless the cutscene is fake

feels so specific though lmao

"you know the cutscene after the second boss where gigas take over ragnarok i never understood lol"
"its an allegory for the second coming of christ"

[gusty turret]

Too true

Its honestly kinda wild they got so religious

[heavy sandal]

ark is all biblical anyway. it wasnt that out of place

[gusty turret]

Fair

[bronze turtle]

ik its fake but i really wanna see gigas take over ragnarok

like imagine seeing a giga walk over a mountain, and then after it hundreds of them begin following

[gusty turret]

Its far from fake

[bronze turtle]

dang, ive never fought the second boss, do u think u can send me it in dms so i know?

[gusty turret]

Nah you aren't worthy

[heavy sandal]

🦖🌘⚔️💎

[ornate hull]

Bro beta rag boss

[bronze turtle]

im losing it

[gusty turret]

I think its actually a parallelogram for what's gonna happen in Ark 2

[bronze turtle]

lmfao

[ornate hull]

You have to have your missions done on rag to get the second boss tho

[bronze turtle]

this actually made me laugh

[heavy sandal]

you know the ko'd giga in the ice worm queen's nest? it's kinda like that

[bronze turtle]

can you tame that giga btw

[gusty turret]

Except theyre being led by the experimental giga from the simulation

[heavy sandal]

no but it is part of the puzzle

[bronze turtle]

he rises and brings all gigas that ever existed over the highland mountains and roars and all of them follow the giga leader to the obelisks

[gusty turret]

But then at the end the third boss shows up and fights them off but its more cool to just forget about that part

[bronze turtle]

no

the gigas kill the third boss

[gusty turret]

No you've never seen it you don't know

[bronze turtle]

damn guess ur right

so after beating the second boss, it awakens the giga leader to recruit all gigas to take over ragnarok and then the third boss pulls up and genocides all of them

[gusty turret]

Basically

But for that ending to happen you have to go in the labyrinth before you fight the second boss

Otherwise something else happens

[bronze turtle]

what else happens

[gusty turret]

I can't tell you

It makes you sign an NDA at the end

[bronze turtle]

damn

thats crazy

[heavy sandal]

shame they took all the explorer notes off rag when they made it an official map. it's a lot harder to understand the bosses without them

[gusty turret]

Yeah the cutscene makes like no sense without them

Oh yeah that big bone giga in viking bay gets resurrected and helps the gigas too

[heavy sandal]

and they took out the treasure chests in the jungle ruins, but left the mangled bodies

[gusty turret]

Does that treasure chest still spawn in thay ship in viking bay or did they remove it too

Because i saw it like once years ago and never again

[heavy sandal]

the little crates still spawn, but the chests dont

[gusty turret]

Dang

[heavy sandal]

you think they'll take the skin chests out of fjordur too?

[gusty turret]

Definitely

We also definitely won't get the cool creatures

[heavy sandal]

fenrir is kinda jank anyway

[gusty turret]

ur moms kinda jank

Gottem

It seems more fitting for Ragnarok to get Fenrir and a special water boss but yknow they obviously don't care about making rag cool anymore

[heavy sandal]

I'm actually immune to ur mom jokes

[gusty turret]

Nope

No one is immune

[bronze turtle]

dude

[heavy sandal]

moms ded yo

[gusty turret]

Not anymore

[heavy sandal]

you gotta use past tense

[gusty turret]

Im a necromancer

[heavy sandal]

oh cool

[bronze turtle]

i just saw the cutscene that was so badass the giant bone giga woke up and recruited all the gigas and then got killed by third boss and now im fighting the third

[bronze turtle]

yo mama'd

also sorry for your loss

[gusty turret]

I wonder if Rockwell knows Joe

[heavy sandal]

you cant actually beat the third boss. it's a scripted loss, but when the battle ends your leftover tames will pop back near viking bay

[bronze turtle]

im getting him quite low tho

[heavy sandal]

also I dont like how jormungandr's texture looks in that fight

[bronze turtle]

well shit he just used his omega radiation beam now im dead

[gusty turret]

Its like the end of that Halo game where no matter how long you hold out you still die

[heavy sandal]

moeder was a much better iteration on an ocean boss even though she is too easy

[gusty turret]

Moeder sucked

[bronze turtle]

moeder sucked me into a jet engine

[gusty turret]

Ur moeder sucked me into a jet engine

[heavy sandal]

ur moeder sucks like a jet engine

[gusty turret]

gottem

[bronze turtle]

my moeder is better than yours

[gusty turret]

Probably

[heavy sandal]

my moeder brought all the boys to the yard

[bronze turtle]

my moeder killed me

[heavy sandal]

forgot that word is auto deleted

[bronze turtle]

what

dm me im curious now

[gusty turret]

Senzathul's mom had it going on

Shes all i wanted and i needed for so long

[heavy sandal]

I typed that my mom was a lesbian so it didnt matter if the boys came, but I used the g-word version

[bronze turtle]

oh

[gusty turret]

Is homosexual censored

That works

[bronze turtle]

yeah

[gusty turret]

The mods might get mad at me for that

We'll see

[bronze turtle]

mother in dutch

[heavy sandal]

mother dutcher

[gusty turret]

Technically we're breaking the rules by talking about the moeder

Because that's not in English

[heavy sandal]

oh no we get banned

[gusty turret]

We're all about to get banned

[heavy sandal]

soggy mommy

[gusty turret]

The mods are just jealous they don't know about the secret cutscene on Valguero where the map floods and a bunch of squids take over

[bronze turtle]

is this a new page in cursed lore

[gusty turret]

Probably

[heavy sandal]

it's the secret lore

[bronze turtle]

giga rag squid val

[gusty turret]

The Valguero cutscene has enough tentacles to be cursed lore

[bronze turtle]

Aussie MADE the robot. Get it straight

There is no valguero cutscene

[heavy sandal]

the val cutscene is really well done. the water physics when the geysers burst out of the underground sea looks awesome

[gusty turret]

Yeah its really cool

Except for how somehow the Abb zone doesn't flood

[bronze turtle]

yeah there is

[heavy sandal]

magic crystals or something probably

those crystals right at the entrance to ab zone

[gusty turret]

Fair

[bronze turtle]

and then the tusos escaping through the underground sea entrances

[bronze turtle]

Is it on modded val?

no official val

Cap

Show me a vid

its not cap

I've done that boss several times

i just beat the val boss

On official

yeah official pve

Just dm me the vid

[gusty turret]

You probably didn't do it in the right order

[bronze turtle]

ok

[bronze turtle]

Bro what order

[heavy sandal]

dragon last and you have to go to the terminal in the arena

[bronze turtle]

Ok that makes sense

Also dm me the vid it sounds cool

you have to kill the bosses in a specific order with the dragon being last and when the dragon last dies, it falls over and geysers begin erupting to shoot water out and then tusos escape through the underground sea entrances

Just dm me the vid

im trying to find it

all the vids im finding kill the dragon first

What third boss on rag

[heavy sandal]

jormungandr

[bronze turtle]

hes the final boss of rag and is scripted to lose

[heavy sandal]

I dont know what it's call in game, but that's what it is based on for sure

[bronze turtle]

its not on the wiki for whatever reason

I dont believe you guys

the second boss is quite easy and it has such a cool cutscene

Wtf r u talking about

the second boss after you kill him the giant skeleton giga rises up and recruits every single giga on the map to fight the third boss but the third boss wins and then we have to fight him with our army

its a scripted loss and when you die your remaining dinos spawn in at viking bay but you lose your items and you beat the game

Ur lying

Dm me the vid or u lose credibility

[heavy sandal]

its not like the extra bosses are worth doing unless you're a lore nerd anyway. you dont get tekgrams or levels from them

[bronze turtle]

Just dm me the vid @heavy sandal

[bronze turtle]

The first 2 bosses are literally the normal bosses

[bronze turtle]

Schorched earth legit could just not have happened and the story would be fine

yeah but wc was in a lawsuit and needed money

Ik

[lyric tendon]

actually that's how Rockwell started to descend to madness and starts insiding tribes

[bronze turtle]

Not like he wouldnt of in aberration

[lyric tendon]

Ab is when he's desperate

[teal kelp]

Lmao guys look at #building-discussions

No wait

#building-screenshots

[formal jay]

In genesis 2 HLNA says that we’ve beaten Rockwell in a simulation, but this time we have something to punch. Bruh, we killed him in abberation and he was real

[teal kelp]

Little did she know

[heady tundra]

aussie made and is the robot

[gusty turret]

They would all be dead in Aberration If Scorched didn't happen

On Scorched Helena learned of the Obelisks power to smite down civilizations, and she warned the tek tribe, who had already "disabled" the obelisk but checked it out anyways, and the obelisk was indeed building up power for an attack

Rockwell also lost most of his humanity on scorched, he committed mass murder n stuff

[rigid palm]

what happened here

yall didnt even talk about the secret crystal isles boss fight

[ember solar]

well your an ambassador so it must be true, you wouldn't lie about ark would you, how could you, you are an ambassador!

[lyric tendon]

lol

[gusty turret]

Perry is the imposter

[red mist]

perry how could you, first week on the job and you've already lied

[bronze turtle]

Referring to master controller
Ab rockwell dies indefinitely like the broodmother and such

[unborn beacon]

Aberration rockwell??
Hnla wasn't made and didn't know we already beat him

So when gen1 happen hnla assume he still remain unbeaten

[bronze turtle]

damn i forgot about that one lmao

what happens again i forgor

[unborn beacon]

?
The CL wyvern queen?

[fallow sapphire]

It was said to fit with either bringing a survivor from the other maps or starting fresh on genesis. Either is an option, so for anyone who created a new character for genesis saying “hey you beat him on ab” would be weird, plus like Tuck mentioned HLNA wasn’t made till after extinction. So all she knows is we beat him in the simulation

[formal jay]

While that is true, if we were the same survivor for every map, in genesis once discovering that Rockwell is behind all the glitches, the survivor might mention “I thought I killed him in abberation”, and HLNA would question us about that

[fallow sapphire]

K but that is pushing into required gameplay, which makes it harder

[formal jay]

Yup

[fallow sapphire]

I definitely agree it would be cool, but having the code to see “hey they have the aberration rockwell implant, they get the extra text” would be hard

[formal jay]

It would be difficult but it would be cool for lore purposes

And to get that extra peice of text, more people would install ab, increasing the amount of money WildCard would make

[tender wasp]

To be honest most people that play Ark don't really care for the lore and it is wasted money for them to add extra text which would have meant extra Voice acting and extra coding.

And only for some extra line not much would really buy Aberration.

[fallow sapphire]

Yeah, it wouldnt be worth their time at all, like doing a scorched ending

[bronze turtle]

Why is there a (fake) obelisk on sanctuary in extinction

[ember solar]

so that they make a triangle

[bronze turtle]

Fr

[ember solar]

probably

[unborn beacon]

But there's already 3
Desert dome
Ice dome
Sunken forest

[ember solar]

if any should be removed its the sunken forest one

[bronze turtle]

Sunken forest obelisk is destroyed

[unborn beacon]

The other 2 doesn't work
They're only good for the dome itself

[fallow sapphire]

The obs on extinction are what projects the force field

[bronze turtle]

Yeah

[unborn beacon]

Yea
Otherwise they don't work

[bronze turtle]

But there's no force field around sanctuary

[ember solar]

the city does have one

[fallow sapphire]

Technically there is

[ember solar]

its just only visable when something hits it

[fallow sapphire]

Just not a visible one

Only when meteors hit can you see it

[bronze turtle]

And that's why theres no corrupted dinos in it?

[unborn beacon]

What they said ☝

[unborn beacon]

No there is
They can wander in
They just don't spawn there

Same thing for the domes and SF

[ember solar]

except the titans I guess

[fallow sapphire]

Titans could

I mean look at what happened to Santiago

I dont think there is a reason in particular corrupted arent in the sanctuary, other then early game spawns

[bronze turtle]

Sf could mean sulfer feind but yeah

[bronze turtle]

Entorcers

[fallow sapphire]

Cause they can obviously come in in lore and game

[fallow sapphire]

They only do so much

[bronze turtle]

Yeah ik

The enforcers are police

[fallow sapphire]

But yeah in both game and lore corrupted could be in the sanctuary

[unborn beacon]

Sunken forest lol

[bronze turtle]

Just the spawn points dint match up and enforcers would kill then if they entered

[bronze turtle]

Yeah ik

[fallow sapphire]

Aight well gotta dip, have fun discussions

[bronze turtle]

K

[stray knoll]

Ok so if The Nameless use to be humans, then is it possible for a human to breed with one, and what would happen if they tried.

Think about that very carefully before answering.

[heavy sandal]

why are people so stuck on nameless being corrupted humans

[ember solar]

I have no idea

nameless were obviously corrupted gigas and thats why they aren't on the map

[heavy sandal]

they are just ugly moneky chupacabras

[ember solar]

do they have to be corrupted something that we have seen before, its not like it makes a difference

[stray knoll]

Maybe they were the itchyodolphins

[heavy sandal]

itchydolphinmonkeygoblin

[bronze turtle]

Ikr

Werent human unable to be corrupted until rockwell?

[rigid palm]

Me? Lie? Never

[rigid palm]

Hmm iirc once you beat the secret 2nd boss, an army of gigantopithicus riding tropeoes rises out of that dragon cave in the floating islands and races towards the desert, then slaughters the crystal wyverns

[heavy sandal]

that's carazy. I didnt play on CI much and stopped after wyvern queen because the high saturation made it kinda hard to look at

[bronze turtle]

damn

[noble flint]

going back to the nameless debate, i dont think they're mutated anything. As far as I'm aware there isnt an officila explanation for what they are exactly, but I think they were created by the ARK itself. We know that the ark created reapers the same as wyverns and mantis, as a punishment for the survivors who blew up the ark. I think nameless were created alongside them, as a sort of symbiotic species. Originally reapers were called 'nameless queens' which shows that they were, at some point at least, intended to be the same species. The fact that nameless can call up reaper kings, and they are both affected the same way by charge light, points to them either being the same species, or to species working together. I like the idea that rockwell re-animated dead survivors into becoming the nameless, as its similar to what he did in the genesis simulation, but I feel like nameles were mentioned in the explorer notes well before rockwell became, well, rockwell.

dam just realised how long the message was lol

what are all your thoughts?

[gusty turret]

Yeah Nameless were on Abb long before Rockwell even got there

[noble flint]

yea thought so

[bronze turtle]

Lagging and crashes are canon 😂

Imagine

[gusty turret]

Yeah Mei crashed over rad zone and fell off her drake and into the soup

Btw that actually happened to me before

I was pissed

[fallow sapphire]

Understandable

[noble flint]

dam bro relatable

i climbing picked in the portal zone and ended up at the rockwell terminal somehow

[bronze turtle]

Lmao

How

[noble flint]

no clue

game froze for half a minute, then boom.

needless to say, i died

[bronze turtle]

Why did Rockwell extend his innards to the point where we could enter through a big cave entrance?
Sorry I dont know genesis lore well

[gusty turret]

Because Wildcard thought it would look cool

[rigid palm]

And rockwell liked to show his innards off

[bronze turtle]

Bro that's sus

[rigid palm]

He is the british tentacle man

[bold dove]

Cause he wanted to grow.
But there's no vessel that's able to contain him.

[bronze turtle]

Fr

[ornate hull]

The primordials left themselves in a dust like form as a last ditch effort against the forerunners that got corrupted and now ravage the universe consuming more and more bio mass trying to become the only form of life in the universe

[bold dove]

Heyo, this is ARK lore we're talking about. Not Halo lore.

[stray knoll]

On Ragnarök I have found a cave that has the bodies of humans in it that have been tangled up in a spider web. This is direct evidence that there has indeed been a point in history where there was more than just 1 human in existence.

The best part is the green crystals that give you obsidian.

[bold dove]

What did this have to do with current ARK lore?

[stray knoll]

Something wrong with the old stuff?

[lyric tendon]

Ragnarok is not canon

[heavy sandal]

and nowhere has said that there is only 1 human left

[stray knoll]

Then the main game isn't canon either. 😦

[heavy sandal]

what are you even saying

[stray knoll]

Well, do you see any other humans running around?

[fallow sapphire]

thats just cause you could be alone, but servers are as canon as singleplayer

well other then multiple aberrations

[heavy sandal]

in the one who waits notes, Helena talks about our generation of survivors. not just one lonely human

[stray knoll]

Hmm, I wonder where they could be.

[fallow sapphire]

as i said, singleplayer is as canon as multiplayer

so you could be alone on an ark, but you could also have tons of tribes

[stray knoll]

So the consistency is up to the player(s)

[fallow sapphire]

there is a bit of that in ark lore

you dont technically have to start on the island or scorched, you could start on aberration

[gusty turret]

Technically you can start on scorched because there is no ascension

[bold dove]

There's dead humans on Scorched and The Island.

[fallow sapphire]

i mean they aint running though

[bold dove]

Same with the people he was using for example for Rag

[stray knoll]

Well now we are back to having a potential mystery as to what happened to them.

[gusty turret]

What we see isn't what actually happens, read the one who waits notes, its up to us if its with others or not

[stray knoll]

Not sure where to find that.

[bronze turtle]

on rag too lmao

[stray knoll]

...

[fallow sapphire]

[gusty turret]

There are canonically other people, its just up to us whether we ascend with them or not

[stray knoll]

Well that time it wasn't me at least.

[bronze turtle]

Nd center I think

[bold dove]

The ones on The Island froze to death, or got gnashed by the bears inside the ice cave.
The ones on Scorched are mummified, as a ceremony. Since this is in the cave where Nosti was. A city by a Egyptian princess.

[bronze turtle]

in the ice queen cave on rag there are dead people

[bold dove]

We know.

[noble flint]

and snow cave

island

[bold dove]

But we're not discussing that, due to Rag not being canon.

[bold dove]

That's what i 'just' said

[noble flint]

exactly

wot r we even discussing? whether there r people or not its canon, your own story is your own story

[bronze turtle]

Or not important, as the theory goes

[stray knoll]

Humans would do a lot better at surviving if they could just stay at the parts of the map with other creatures on their food chain level such as dodos dilos and dildos. But then they get bord and ambitious, decide to go to where bigger predators are, and then die.

[bronze turtle]

yeah only the dlc paid maps are canon

and the island

[lyric tendon]

more like a "headcanon"

[bold dove]

Yes, cause that's how humans work.
We migrate, and want to expand.

[gusty turret]

Whyd you say dildos.....

[bronze turtle]

🤨

[bronze turtle]

He meant dilos

[gusty turret]

Im hoping you meant diplos

[stray knoll]

Sometimes dilos decide to do something with dodos other than eat them, everyone knows this.

[bronze turtle]

ayooooooo

[gusty turret]

Fair enough

[bold dove]

Dilophasaurus got no 'D'

I mean their name!!!

[stray knoll]

Ilophasaurus

[bold dove]

They have no 'D' in their name!

Wait......

They don't have 'two' 'D's'

[heavy sandal]

they got double ds

[stray knoll]

A lot of reptiles do however.

[bold dove]

I love the DS

[bold dove]

Multitasking.

[gusty turret]

Why are talking about lizard pps now

[heavy sandal]

pps and tatas

[bold dove]

I'm talking about 'D' as in the letter.

[lyric tendon]

i'm not sure because those organs rarely preserved in the fossil record

[fallow sapphire]

its #lore-nerdz, what do you expect?

[stray knoll]

Think about it, how does your male tame mate with 5 females at once? We are all so lucky the developers are not allowed to make a game that shows what happens.

[bold dove]

If they have two D's, then they're multitasking letters.

[bronze turtle]

nah bro those wyverns have long slongs

[bold dove]

They did in the dev-kit.......

[lyric tendon]

#EnableMatingAnimation

[bronze turtle]

no cap

[stray knoll]

Is that actually possible?

[bold dove]

I will never forget the day that mating animations where discovered in the dev-kit.

[heavy sandal]

every male in ark is practically a barnacle

[bold dove]

Not anymore, since they removed the coding and animations as a whole from the game.

[lyric tendon]

there is a preview mod available in the workshop

[bold dove]

Think that was taken down

[lyric tendon]

it's age resticted

[bold dove]

But at one time, there where legit mating animations inside the game files.

[bold dove]

.......

Hold on a quick minute while i check. 👀

[gusty turret]

Hahahahahha Spartan is a child and is age restricted

[stray knoll]

I imagine for animals in ark canologically, food is easy to get, they don't need to get to shelter, why would they not spend most of their time mating?

[bold dove]

Says the literal child.
And it's showing up for me now.

[bronze turtle]

Games rating would go from teen to m17+ real quick

[bold dove]

More like AO

[gusty turret]

Shut

I'm not a literal child im 16

Im a teenager

[lyric tendon]

still child to me

[bold dove]

That's still a kid.

[gusty turret]

That's not what ur mom said last night

[bronze turtle]

Still a kid but with extra steps

[bold dove]

Yeah, i know that's not what she said.
She said "Wow, i can't see it."

[lyric tendon]

wew

[bronze turtle]

so he still saw ur mum🤨

[stray knoll]

The best part is males have an amazing super power. They don't have to wait 2 hours to produce more sperm. Just see a female, walk up to her, and then eat the offspring because animals need humans to take care of their own babies, just like how wild megaloceros have to eat thatch and wood to survive.

[bold dove]

Not that hard to do.

[stray knoll]

Then the overseer face palms their inability to figure things out and clones more of them.

[bronze turtle]

Lol

[bronze turtle]

Well I mean you dont use ALL you sperm when u mate

[bold dove]

Imagine each ARK is like a vault from Fallout.
Different experiments with the same concept.

[stray knoll]

gtg one of my tames won't stop making noises about needing a walk.

[bronze turtle]

And life preservation

[lyric tendon]

cryo it

[heavy sandal]

if you dont get it all out you arent done

[bronze turtle]

I mean true

[bronze turtle]

So our creatures simply last a long time?

[gusty turret]

Why were you listening in that's kinda weird

[heavy sandal]

thin walls maybe

[heavy sandal]

nobody should have lawns. just plant a vegetable garden in your yard. grass is stupid

[stray knoll]

Only stupid humans mow their lawn. Humans with a brain figure out that the tradition of mowing the lawn only exist for them to be cheated out of 1 more thing they can sell as baled goods and become 1 more step closer to living to rise above their class.

[bronze turtle]

what

[stray knoll]

For some reason some one started talking about the lore of humans having a tradition to mow the lawn. Yeah idk.

[bold dove]

Big brain humans will just mow their lawns with a theri, then they can sell the fiber to their local retailers.

[bronze turtle]

id rather sell the theri

[stray knoll]

What you want to do is have 1 male theri and 599 female theris, and then breed them, sell the offspring and the fiber.

Of course the theris get the better end of the deal but with them at least you can expand your yard with what you get out of it.

[ornate hull]

Best handheld game system

[gusty turret]

Idk bro i think the switch is far better

[quartz pelican]

I’ve emptied the magazine a time or two

[gusty turret]

You can empty it until you die

[plain plover]

or I use my alt attack with the HF pincers

[quartz pelican]

I love getting a nice clam bake going and then mowing my lawn

[heavy sandal]

white boi sunday

[bronze turtle]

Or it breaks

If your going hard

[prisma forum]

can anyone explain genesis to me? like why does the map look so weird?

[heavy sandal]

gen1 or gen2?

[prisma forum]

both i guess

i dont know the difference

[heavy sandal]

one is a simulation and one is a enormous space ship

[prisma forum]

a simulation? really?

[heavy sandal]

gen1 takes place inside the Genesis Simulation yeah

[prisma forum]

can you still transfer dinos in and out?

[heavy sandal]

yeah you can

[bronze turtle]

Yes

Gensim is meant to preserve survivors in a cryopod

[prisma forum]

is the gen 2 ship the ship used by the people who made the arks?

[bronze turtle]

No

Diffrent faction

Terran federation used the ship

[prisma forum]

whats that

[bronze turtle]

A faction

During tek war

[bronze turtle]

URE made the arks

They exchanged assets for both projects

[prisma forum]

did terran federation fight the URE in the tek war?

[heavy sandal]

yeah

[prisma forum]

thats so cool

[bronze turtle]

Yeah

[prisma forum]

why did they fight?

[bronze turtle]

The 2 tek suits are differrent faction tek suits

[bronze turtle]

Tek

[heavy sandal]

disagreements about how element should be used

[bronze turtle]

Yeah

[prisma forum]

were the arks made after or before?

[bronze turtle]

Same time

[prisma forum]

also who won the war?

[heavy sandal]

the arks and the genesis ship were made around the same time

[bronze turtle]

No one won. Humanity went extinct

[heavy sandal]

it corrupted the whole planet and they ended up having to team up. that's where there were some URE staff on the ship

[prisma forum]

which country is the extinction map in? because its on earth right?

[bronze turtle]

Unknown

[prisma forum]

so there are npcs in gen2?

[heavy sandal]

no idea

we havent had info on ark 2 in a year

[bronze turtle]

Canonically theres NPCs on every map

[prisma forum]

what about in game?

[bronze turtle]

No

[prisma forum]

maybe its a future country that doesnt exist in 2021

[bronze turtle]

Likely

Or two continents mashed together because of war

[prisma forum]

how far in the future is ark?

[bronze turtle]

Thousands of years

[prisma forum]

do we know what the people in each faction looks like?

[heavy sandal]

like people

[prisma forum]

like maybe one was the us and the other china or something

[bronze turtle]

Likely the same as modern humans

[heavy sandal]

Diana is URE and Santiago is Fed

[prisma forum]

how does in work lore-wise when taking a dino out of the gen 1 simulation?

[bronze turtle]

It exists the simulation

Same way as trasfering via obelisk or terminal

[prisma forum]

but i mean how does a simulated dino get out of a simulation and become flesh and blood

[ember solar]

tek war was 24th century

[heavy sandal]

all dinos in ark are genetically engineered, so probably the same as taking any dino from anywhere else

and several of the gen1 critters run around wild on the ship

[bronze turtle]

My great great grandkids will fight in tek war good to know 🤣

[prisma forum]

oh ok so are they not reanimated real dinos? more like artificially created?

[bronze turtle]

Yeah

That's why there are fantasy creatures

[prisma forum]

why did they make fantasy creatures?

[heavy sandal]

because they are cool ig

[bronze turtle]

To balance out survivors

For instance with wyverns on schorched

[prisma forum]

so they were created to help survivors against dinos?

or the other way around?

[heavy sandal]

sometimes they were created to punish survivors that werent playing by the rules

[bronze turtle]

To balance them out as to make sure they dont build too much

[bronze turtle]

Yeah

[prisma forum]

ahh ok

how come the overseer lets you come and kill it? like couldnt he just trap you on an ark?

[bronze turtle]

If you beat it it proves worthy of ascending I think

[heavy sandal]

the overseer isnt evil. it's there to test you

[bronze turtle]

Yeah

[prisma forum]

and what is ascending?

[bronze turtle]

Leaving the ark

[heavy sandal]

like going to the next level in a game

[bronze turtle]

And having your implant upgraded

[prisma forum]

so when you ascend thats when you get to leave the ark and go on the spaceship in gen 2?

[heavy sandal]

well no.

[bronze turtle]

You need to beat ab to go to earth

Then u can get to genesis sim

[heavy sandal]

exactly how we get to the ship is a little fuzzy since it wasnt ever explicitly explained. but it helena did something to let us get there

[bronze turtle]

I think we got beamed there same as hlna

[heavy sandal]

there are plenty of ways you could justify it in your own headcanon

[prisma forum]

how did they bring back dead people from the past? like yun for example

[bronze turtle]

I forgot

[heavy sandal]

they found engrammic matrices in some human remains that stored the memories and personality of people like Mei

not a rl thing

[bronze turtle]

Which also explains why we have engrams in game

[heavy sandal]

so they took her dna and matrix and reconstructed her

[bronze turtle]

Your character is basically a clone with the memories of your real self.

[prisma forum]

thats really cool, thanks for the explanation guys

[bronze turtle]

Yw

Any more questions? @prisma forum

[heavy sandal]

if you havent read the explorer notes in game or on the wiki, there are some cool videos on youtube you could watch about them

[bronze turtle]

Like ned the noodle

[prisma forum]

yeah i watched the ones covering everything up until extinction

[heavy sandal]

yeh NeddyTheNoodle is what I would recommend since it's just the notes acted out and not someone trying to summarize it all

[prisma forum]

so is ark 2 a different planet or another ark?

[heavy sandal]

kinda spoilers for the end scene of gen2

[bronze turtle]

Differrent planet

That the genesis ship found

[prisma forum]

its alright

how are there dinosaurs on the new planet?

[bronze turtle]

Genesis ship

[heavy sandal]

watch the scene it's pretty cool

[bronze turtle]

Genesis ship. I'm pretty sure the orcs in the trailer are natives but ark 2 isnt out yet so we dont 100%know

[prisma forum]

whats the deal with the little robot that follows you in genesis?

[bronze turtle]

Tahts HLNA

[prisma forum]

helena walker?

[bronze turtle]

Basically helena made a robot to help us out in genesis

[bronze turtle]

She made it

[prisma forum]

where is helena walker now?

[bronze turtle]

Homo deus

[prisma forum]

whats that

[heavy sandal]

a forced evolution of homo sapiens

[bronze turtle]

When u beat king titan u become thay

[prisma forum]

does she also go to the new planet?

[heavy sandal]

no you dont. you become touched by one. helena was the last one to ascend and said that that path is closed now

[bronze turtle]

No

[bronze turtle]

Havent watched extinction cutscene in a while

[heavy sandal]

its not in the cutscene it's in the notes

[bronze turtle]

Mf I swear

[prisma forum]

i watched the gen 2 final cutscene, so they just invaded the planet with a bunch of dinos? (and humans?)

[bronze turtle]

It crashed

And we might be able to play in eden ring since it wasnt destroyed

[prisma forum]

imagine being the natives on that planet

[bronze turtle]

Well see

[prisma forum]

whats the purpose of the bosses lore-wise?

[heavy sandal]

like tests

that's why you can see into the boss arena from the overseer's house

so you can be observed

[prisma forum]

why can you even get in there? wouldnt there be people in that room normally?

[heavy sandal]

you go there after the tek cave. that's where you fight the overseer

[prisma forum]

oh ok

do the free maps exist in the lore?

[heavy sandal]

they dont not exists, but they dont have any bearing on the story so they are excluded in discussions of lore

[prisma forum]

is it hard to ascend on all the maps?

[heavy sandal]

uh not too hard, but it takes a lot of time

only a few bosses are especially challenging

[prisma forum]

my friend and i bred a bunch of rexes and almost all died against the gamma broodmother years ago but im going to try again

[heavy sandal]

bosses get easier every xpac. you could do pretty much all bosses except KT and maybe CMC with a good team of shadowmanes

[prisma forum]

kt and cmc?

[heavy sandal]

King Titan of Extinction and Corrupt Master Controller of Gen1

[prisma forum]

ah ok, thanks again

[bronze turtle]

You could do master controller with shadows

[heavy sandal]

having the stealth would be a huge boon for key runners, but i havent done a cmc run since we took most of our cluster through alpha when ci came out

we used a servermate's super ferox

[prisma forum]

i also heard megatherium is good for broodmother?

[bronze turtle]

Yes

[heavy sandal]

they are good for her. a mounted, imprinted, insect boosted sloth hits like a truck

[prisma forum]

how many level ~230 megatheriums should i need?

[heavy sandal]

pretty much every army is 19 dps tames and 1 yuty for buffs

some bosses are exceptions

or have cheese strats

[rigid palm]

Riding a megatherium and not a yuty

[heavy sandal]

on single player yuty roars itlself. on a server you bring friends

[bronze turtle]

Ayo

[rigid palm]

Level does not matter, only stats. For further discussion we should take this to #bobs-with-probs

[rigid palm]

Using an ai for the yuty

Sounds like a good way to get it killed

[bronze turtle]

Why aberration to ascend to earth

[rigid palm]

Why not

You proved you were worthy 3 times

[bronze turtle]

Well why ab specifically

[rigid palm]

Cause its the one that rockwell and helena and the others got to

[bronze turtle]

Yeah but what on aberration has the think that cna transfer to earth

[bronze turtle]

because the OG survivors nuked the Overseer with Element and made the red zone but also made it so that the Overseer didn't respawn so they had to build a portal to escape and wanted that portal to bring them to Earth so they went through the Portal in the green zone to Earth

[heavy sandal]

because the tek tribe spent years developing the portal to it

[rigid palm]

Its just ascension

[bronze turtle]

I forgor 💀

since they fucked the Overseer and the map so bad they had to make a Portal

[heavy sandal]

they had to nuke the overseer because the were building the portal and making the overseer mad

they killed overseer before it killed them

[rigid palm]

Then ark started dying

[bronze turtle]

Well we see what happens when 1 tek nuke goes off. Could several outright destroy the ark?

[rigid palm]

And rockwell turn into tentacle man and become new overseer

[bronze turtle]

yeah

[rigid palm]

Definitely

Overseers are the closest thing to immortality we have

[tender wasp]

We don't know that yet.. it still might crash (cause it seems to get closer to the planet) or simply stay in orbit and might only be a fancy nice asset in the sky that is responsible for adding more dinos or whatever.

[rigid palm]

Since they can just keep getting resurrected by the ark

[bronze turtle]

iirc Overseers are shells of Homo Deus? Saw it on Wiki idk

[bronze turtle]

They are part

[prisma forum]

Why does extinction have obelisks?

[rigid palm]

They’re confirmed to be homo deus that lost their humanity by the writer in a post outside of the game iirc

[bronze turtle]

Barriers to protect from metors

[rigid palm]

Nothing actually in game that confirms them to be anything

[rigid palm]

same reason why any other ark has obelisks

[bronze turtle]

why are Homo Deus almost extinct btw? is it just because most of them just lost it and became Overseers?

[prisma forum]

But didnt extinction used to be a city where regular people lived?

[rigid palm]

Yes

[bronze turtle]

Extinction is Earth

[bronze turtle]

Not many homo sapiens to becomexdus to begin with

[rigid palm]

Well, the sanctuary was

[bronze turtle]

The domes were prototype arks

Wasteland is wasteland

I wonder what Extinction the map would look before the Element war

[bronze turtle]

Probably just a normal city

Make of tek ofc

imagine something irl exists that's just as powerful as Element

History channel at 1 am

Is element a compound or an actual element

it's alive

But isnt it like alive?

somewhat

It reproduces

it can manipulate things into a false sense of security and then corrupt them, which is what happened to Rockwell. Rockwell was obsessed with the Element and the Element has a way with living things

[bronze turtle]

Wed go extinct fighting over it probs

Element war irl

[tender wasp]

Protomelecuel of the Expanse was a inspiration for Element (at least when Marc still was the writer).

[bronze turtle]

imagine one day "brb gotta go kill that titan over there" becomes a normal everyday term

[tender wasp]

So all we know it is somehow alive.

[bronze turtle]

There thousands of titan but only 4 are important right?

there's 4 in the lore

I think

[tender wasp]

Reagrding to the notes there are several, they even kill some if I am not mistaken.

[heavy sandal]

there were thousands but all but the biggest boys were wiped out before we get there

[bronze turtle]

Didnt a diane note say there were so many a lifetime of slaying wouldnt dent the population?

so we got left the biggest Titans? bruh

Yep

The ones that matter granted

[tender wasp]

The ones we kill are like the "generals" of KTs "army"

[heavy sandal]

his favorite children

[bronze turtle]

Lol

[heavy sandal]

desert was the studious one, ice was the jock, and forest was the gentle good boy

[rigid palm]

When kt was hiring the generals: ah yes, these would make good generals: flying manta ray, groot, and ripoff of myself

[bronze turtle]

King Titan copy but snow

[bronze turtle]

Most of the titan werent bigger or stronger than a giga

[rigid palm]

Ik

[bronze turtle]

tbh feels like Extinction was the end of ARK and Genesis 1 and 2 were presequels to ARK 2

So those 3 stood out

[rigid palm]

Its a joke lol

[bronze turtle]

That's how it is

Genesis is a bridge to ark 2

[tender wasp]

Cause extinction WAS the planned ENd of the Ark series.

[bronze turtle]

oh well, I'm glad Genesis happened, without it we probably wouldn't have ARK 2

[rigid palm]

Ark 2 was planned before gen 1/2

[bronze turtle]

Or amimated

[rigid palm]

Animated has nothing to do with gen 1 or 2 lol

[bronze turtle]

They started making ark 2 just after extinction came out right?

[tender wasp]

To be honest it would have been better to end Ark with Enxtinction and to start and Ark 2 after that instead of Gen/Gen 2

[tender wasp]

We don't know.

[bronze turtle]

I don't see how that would work tho

[bronze turtle]

I disagree

like how would ARK 2 fit in the story of Gen never happened

[tender wasp]

Not Ark 2 directly but making something like Gen/Gen 2 or something on earth as Ark 2 in a new engine

[rigid palm]

Ark 2 doesn’t have to be an alien planet lol

[bronze turtle]

Yeah

[rigid palm]

It could be earth after the arks came down

[bronze turtle]

To be more primitive yes

Earth I imagine would still be filled with Element tbh

[rigid palm]

Again, what ark 2 could have been disregards anything confirmed about it now

[bronze turtle]

Maybey small patches

Aberration has a whole load of Element down there, would spread eventually

[tender wasp]

Earth also could have offered tons on possibilities, especially with hundrets of Arks on it.

[bronze turtle]

True ig

[rigid palm]

The entire point was to purge it lol

[bronze turtle]

yeah but Ab has some

Yeah but tek nuke go bom

[rigid palm]

One small ark can’t withstand hundreds if not thousands

[bronze turtle]

And rockwell is in there too

[tender wasp]

And hundrets of Arks purge Earth, so Abs would not really stand a chance for long.

[bronze turtle]

if it actively purged even years afterwords, then yeah, if it purged once when it all landed then no

[rigid palm]

…rockwell is on genesis lol

Thats the entire thing of gen 1/2

[bronze turtle]

unless it even purges the inside of the ARK as well

[rigid palm]

He abandoned earth and ab

[bronze turtle]

After extinction yeah

I wonder if Rockwell stayed would he get purged

Yes

He bathes in element

so Gen1 and 2 make sense

[tender wasp]

But earth would have offered a lot of oppertunities, like different "Arks", ruins where you can find more snippets about the war and the past in general, like in HZD were you can mix Technoligy with primitive without going full Tek, etc.

[rigid palm]

I want to see broken moon

[heavy sandal]

still leaves option for future dlc or ark 3 to go back to earth

[bronze turtle]

had we not gone into the simulation, Rockwell would corrupt the entire ship and reach his destination of the ARK2 planet and begin by corrupting that, officially making him the ruler of one of the only suitable planets other than Earth

[tender wasp]

Or make a spinnoff on eart.

But only if Ark 2 delivers what people want/expect of it.

[bronze turtle]

Make a moon map
Cod zombies round change music plays

[heavy sandal]

I really just want a different style ark game about the tek war

or maybe some novels

[bronze turtle]

First person shooter spinoff

[rigid palm]

Graphic novel of ark

[bronze turtle]

if we didn't stop Rockwell then he would've been the leader of not only a life planet, but all the Earth life on the ship and all the engrammic matrixes of every human who ever lived, which is bad, we had to stop him and go to Genesis

[tender wasp]

SP RPG were you can make your own character without having to mess with any pressed in actor would be nice.

[rigid palm]

Better character limitations tho

Not the horrible-ness that is ark 1 characters

[tender wasp]

You mean a better character generator ?

[rigid palm]

Pretty much

[hearty sparrow]

whats wrong with my goblin of a character

[heavy sandal]

breaks immersion

[lyric tendon]

immersion doesn't matter when ankies turned into helicopters

[heavy sandal]

mah
Immer
sion

[lyric tendon]

body spaghetti go brrrr

[heavy sandal]

yeah that's immersive

i like when baby gasbags stretch over the whole skybox when you cull them

[gusty turret]

What about when fish start flying

[heavy sandal]

that's just evolution

[tender wasp]

lol

[gusty turret]

Fair

[bronze turtle]

ark survival slightly evolved

[gusty turret]

Ark survival rapid evolution as soon as you lose any amount of ping

[bronze turtle]

ark survival rapid evolution as my ping goes from 20 to 892 because someone hatched 43 eggs and fried my router

[warm skiff]

Nope just as bad as it was 3years ago just hard to mesh rip

[quartz lion]

.

[eternal belfry]

Guess what day it issss!!!!

[gusty turret]

Christmas

[ornate hull]

The day that we have been blessed with the Santa hat noggin chibi

Quick question

Will the island be covered in snow again or are they not doing that

[ember solar]

They havent done that in a bit

[marsh jay]

Tuesday

Can anyone give me a quick summary of the lore?

[bronze turtle]

yeah I got u

[lyric tendon]

its in the pins

[bold dove]

-Humans use funny space metal to advance.
-Humans cause war and pollute the planet with funny metal spores.
-Metal turns into funny virus.
-Humans make funny stations to preserve life.
-All life on Earth fucking DIES

Woops.

[bronze turtle]

yeah basically

[marsh jay]

K thanks

[bronze turtle]

and then arks come down after kill king of element and and purify Earth to be better agajn

[bold dove]

They said 'lore' which usally indicates to the beforehand story of everything.

[bronze turtle]

and then you in simulation then get out and then on ship and kill rocky wocky well and the ship crash down to planet and ark 2 begin

[marsh jay]

Great thanks

[bold dove]

Then everyone dies at the end. The End.

[bronze turtle]

staying behind to gloat

[cinder parcel]

🙂

[molten oak]

lore lore lor

[red mist]

quit getting existential on us

[bronze turtle]

Edmund, I'm here to help you end this nightmare

[noble flint]

honestly a proper lore summary would take 4ever

[viral cave]

Ark is one big dream

The end

[bronze turtle]

Gen 1 be like

[gusty turret]

Not really?

The point of gen 1 is that it is a simulation, its not like some hidden plot point or anything that's only revealed after everythings done with

[bronze turtle]

Ik

I was joking

[rigid palm]

Theres a very good lore summary. Guess where it is

In the explorer notes! No way

[gusty turret]

The notes

In Perry's closet

Perry please let me out of the closet....

[rigid palm]

never

Stay in there

[bronze turtle]

[bronze turtle]

You did this to me, for wanting the same power she squandered

[median moth]

Explain ark story in 1 sentence

[stuck rain]

rockwell bad

[warped herald]

Element bad

[gusty turret]

Element good

[azure sage]

[thin flume]

[hallow kestrel]

Rockwell=mandem

[bronze turtle]

Scientist man turns evil from a drug and trying to kill people.

[late flame]

funny space drug ruins civilization then turns scientist into an 18+ anime villian who is trying to give people skin cancer

[bronze turtle]

Well I've survived worse, I promise you I will find a way out of this I will

[teal kelp]

No Edmund, it's much too late for that

[bronze turtle]

🦤

It's so bright.. Helena? I'm afraid

[civic bronze]

A time traveling dodo comes through a portal and gives swamp fever on everyone and the aliens see this, so they reset the animals back to dinosaurs and then Vin Diesel comes to save everyone.

[late flame]

"inhales" WITH HIS FAMILY

[vale kindle]

[blazing perch]

[vale kindle]

[teal kelp]

Shh... She knew

[bronze turtle]

Do not break my heart like that. That shit always makes me cry !

[bronze turtle]

boom bam boom

[teal kelp]

Baboom

[bronze turtle]

After playing all this time alongside HLNA following Helena and Rockwell's story, you can't stop crying. The end of Gen2 is just so perfect.

[bronze turtle]

How do we all of a sudden know tekgrams after a boss

[pulsar agate]

When you defeat the boss Raptor Jesus acknowledges your feat and inputs the tekgrams into your head

[fervent oak]

ong?

[gusty turret]

Simply because thats a gameplay feature

If it was going by lore we'd have 0 access to anything tek on the island

[ornate hull]

Blue element good
Purple element bad

[stray knoll]

You wake up as a naked human with no items alone in a strange place with strange creatures, and find a bunch of old notes about cool shit happening that you will never see.

[bronze turtle]

lmfao yeah

[balmy epoch]

👍

[gritty forge]

Lmao that is so accurate 🤣

[bronze turtle]

until.... #ark-animated-series, at least for the helena centred stuff as far as we know

[forest rose]

Rockwell > Helena

yes

[bold dove]

I personally don't like Mary-Sue characters.

[forest rose]

Even though he became insane and then turned into a giant monster that ruled over the Abberation ark and also betraying all the tribes he ever allied with

[bold dove]

Rockwell has a character arc.
Helena doesn't.

[red mist]

that old man from the exp buffs tries to kill a bunch of people, and then you, while magic space metal takes over earth

[forest rose]

So, it would be amazing if ark created a story of what happened to earth after extinction

[red mist]

there's probably at least something wrong with this because i don't know shit about lore but i'm hoping it's too vague for spartan to correct

[gusty turret]

Magic space metal has taken over the Earth for hundreds of years

But otherwise it looks alright

[bold dove]

He's not the fucking exp soups. 👀

[bronze turtle]

Do reapers just put their children in random creatures or do they breed like normal and just use symbiosis on humans

[bold dove]

Seems more likely that they rely on the constant supply of the ARK's to keep their species alive.
I.E. One dies, another one is replaced with a new one.

[bronze turtle]

Oh alr

It'd be cool if there were random dead creatures and reapers bust out of them but if ur theory is true then that wouldn't be possible

[bold dove]

Not really a theroy if the game basically confirms it.

[bronze turtle]

Oh they did?

[bold dove]

It's how non-breedable creatures are able to sustain themselves on the ARK.
It's why the ecosystem can't change, even though everything about the ecosystems in ARK would tear themselves apart.
The overseer keeps their population alive.

[bronze turtle]

Aren't reapers made by Rockwell with element tho?

[bold dove]

Ah yes.
I do love when Rockwell created a Reaper, even though Helena encountered them 'before' he even mutated.

[bronze turtle]

Aren't they made by element from nameless oh wait Rockwell didn't make element

[bold dove]

Not at all.

[tender wasp]

I don't even know how people come to that conclussions cause it is oviously in the notes they were there before Rockwell got corrupted.

[bold dove]

Nameless's origins are never explained.
Reapers the same, but it does hint more so that they're a punishment for the survivors for nuking the overseer.

[bronze turtle]

The lore is kinda hard to follow for me since I have bad attention

[bold dove]

Thank Anthomnia for being the spreader of incorrect lore.

"He's" the fucker that caused the misconception about ARK-2 being a prequel.

[bronze turtle]

I might read the notes online for ab

[bold dove]

Watch NeddyTheNoodle.
He makes the explorernotes in a more cinematic way.

[bronze turtle]

I can't find any

Alr I will

[tender wasp]

Ewww Anthomnia...

I avoid that guy XD

[bronze turtle]

It'd be cool if in ark 2 they made an ab map after it crashed to earth

[bold dove]

Hard to do that when ARK-2 isn't on Earth

[tender wasp]

Sadly will not happen cause Ark 2 is on another planet.

[bronze turtle]

Oof

Maybe a modder could make it that'd be cool

[rigid palm]

Ark 3 👀

[tender wasp]

Might a bit depend on how the "map" system in Ark 2 will be and if they have the fitting assets to do so (the modders).

[bronze turtle]

Another thing I wonder is how there are corrupt drakes and reapers does the king Titan corrupt creatures or create corrupted creatures from nothing

[bold dove]

The King-Titan doesn't do shit, other then to be big and badass and be the embodiment of element.
Corruption is spread via the spores and infections.....which......don't know how the hell 'we're' not infected.
And for the drakes/reapers being there. It's cause the proto-ARK's have access to the whole ARK database. Which includes Reapers and Drakes.
So they let them spawn on their ARK's, they wonder a 'biiiit' too far, and they get attacked/infected by a corrupted creature.

[bronze turtle]

Oh ok makes sense

My friend said he created the corruption and controls it

But I think u prolly know more

[tender wasp]

Nope.. Element made the KT

He is more the Harbinger of Element and the strongest beeing Element has "made"

[bronze turtle]

Isn't Rockwell stronger than KT? at least on Genesis?

[tender wasp]

I doubt that Rockwell is stronger.

[rigid palm]

He’s definitely bigger

Stronger, maybe not

[gusty turret]

I wouldn't say he's bigger, because that's a technicality

[rigid palm]

He is literally half the ship

[bronze turtle]

Is he harder to fight and just weaker than KT lore wise?

[tender wasp]

Also Rockwell is pretty imobile and lets his servants fight (at least in Gen) and bigger.. I don't know.. feels more like Rockwell is melting into the ship but his "fighting" form is only the part we see in the endfight.

[gusty turret]

Have you ever fought either of the Rockwells? He's far weaker in game and lore

[bronze turtle]

I fought him on ab I don't have gen

He was ez on ab

[rigid palm]

In game? Cmc is not far weaker

[bold dove]

The King-Titan is canonically like 3x bigger then what we see in the game.

[gusty turret]

Master controller is still an ai, it isn't Rockwell himself

Imagine how bad the game would struggle to render a king titan x3 loading in

[teal kelp]

Lmao

[tender wasp]

[bronze turtle]

ark survival rapid evolution as my frames drop from 120 to 12 as the Alpha tribe summons the 3x larger King Titan

[bronze turtle]

So its bigger than godzilla canon?

[bold dove]

Basically.

[lyric tendon]

CMC is a virus made by Rockwell... according to the dolphin missions

[gusty turret]

Yeah but it isn't Rockwell himself

[lyric tendon]

more like "creation in his image"

[bronze turtle]

Like shadoemanes and such?

[lyric tendon]

shadowmanes, noglins, etc are just him playing around genetics

||meanwhile you can see a human face on the female shadowmane's rear when she is about to give birth||

[gusty turret]

I guess he decided to test his tentacles

[bronze turtle]

How maewings on lost island then

[lyric tendon]

lost island is not canon

it's already stated in the DLC store

[bronze turtle]

Ok

LI debunks that theory

[gusty turret]

There are maewings on lost island?

[bronze turtle]

Yes

[gusty turret]

Dang they really just put a little bit of everything on there didn't they

[bronze turtle]

Theres feroxes and megachelons too

[gusty turret]

Dododex doesn't say megachelons

You mean magmasaurs?

[bronze turtle]

No theres megachelons

Deep in water

I've seen them before

[bronze turtle]

same

[bronze turtle]

fr?

[lyric tendon]

yep

[bronze turtle]

proof?

[lyric tendon]

try breeding them for yourself

[bold dove]

Behind or on the side of the rear?

[lyric tendon]

literal rear, under the tail, between the legs

[bold dove]

So where the baby would realistically come out of.

[lyric tendon]

yep

[bold dove]

Is it during gestation, or 'right' before birth?

[lyric tendon]

during gestation, close to giving birth

[bold dove]

Just breed some Shadowmanes on a boosted server, and didn't see anything.

[tender wasp]

Never really paid attention to it.

[lyric tendon]

let me try something, it's been a long time

[lyric tendon]

yee.. still on timeout

[strong sleet]

can a lore expert explain to me why robot dinosaur can lay egg with other robots inside

[lyric tendon]

g a m e p l a y

[vital robin]

because well you see the arks...uhh..simulations...subspecieis....uuh...UUUH.... alright really dont know how to explain that one

[red mist]

explorer notes give double exp? that's what i was referencing

[lyric tendon]

basically blame Helena

[lyric tendon]

that moment i realized the "health bar" that appeared when you used the TEK pistol is the same as what ATLAS used for their HP bar when doing melee skill

[unborn beacon]

Well
When a mommy and a daddy robot dinosaur love each other very much...
(Blah blah blah we've all heard this)

What if the metal for tek creatures is an organic metal like Colossus from Marvel?

[lyric tendon]

i mean Tek is made from organic metal called Element

[unborn beacon]

Element isn't organic though

It came from space

[lyric tendon]

it is, no one is stated that element is artificially made, just refined into useable form

have you seen the corrupted nodes?

[unborn beacon]

Now hold on
I read it came from space
Started the fed/Terran war that (helped) killed the planet

[lyric tendon]

just because "it's from space" doesn't mean it's not natural... Earth itself is in space

life came from space (le Big Bang > formation of Earth and Moon > Primordial Soup > etc)

[ornate hull]

They aren't really robots their just normal dinos with a desese that transforms the flesh into metal but not all the way so they can still reproduce hence why from tek baby dinos you can get prime meat off em

[bronze turtle]

Cap

[bronze turtle]

it's true

[bold dove]

Cause they're element based lifeforms.
Element is literally the "I can do anything" card.

[bold dove]

Thought you meant his broth of enlightenment.

@lyric tendon You sure that isn't just belly flabs shaping just right to look like a face?

[bronze turtle]

So is every funny sifi rock

[bold dove]

sifi?

[bronze turtle]

Science fiction

[bold dove]

But yeah, i slightly agree. But atleast on other form of medias, they atleast 'try' to explain with real world science of 'how' something can be made that's hella fictional.
ARK really doesn't.

[bold dove]

Sci-Fi*

[bronze turtle]

Fair

[bronze turtle]

what the lore of this game?

[tender wasp]

Got to the pins of this channel, they give links to the explorer notes. Read them and you will get a good impression of Arks lore.

[bronze turtle]

Funny space rock, big war, big spaceships, nuke, liquid space rock, tentacle monster, godzilla, robot companion, Vin diesal, alien planet

Vin diesal?
