ark-animated-series

[summer hatch]

I mean I was gonna pay but Paramount+ isn’t even available here

Lemme see what I can do with a VPN 🗿

Le 🗿 moment

Let’s see if it comes on JioCinema on April 19, a few other Paramount shows are on there

Not all tho 🗿

[oak brook]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i'm so excited!!! i hope you folks like it

[summer hatch]

Ok Im in the US now using 🥷🏽 technique

It not accept my payment method. We waiting till April 19 ig 😭

[burnt patio]

😭

[burnt patio]

i am ABSOLUTELY loving it so far! already on episode 5 🥰

been watching for 2h30 straight 🤣

[fresh flame]

20 minutes in and so far it's worth the wait

[burnt patio]

here we go ☹️

[spice imp]

[wispy plume]

I am sorry, but this was so stupid, there was almost no marketing for the series, they release it in Paramount Plus (who owns that???) and then they only release it in US and Canada?? Can’t understand it, the point is to bring new people to the Ark fanbase, and even a huge part of the already fans can’t even watch the series legally, I am from Spain and I highly doubt they even release it in Spain (even though Spain is one of the biggest Ark communities).
So disappointing, I really love Ark’s story and this is what they do

[burnt patio]

[rain canopy]

Was the first season split in two so people outside US/CA don’t get spoiled? If so, thank you.

[solar vault]

You US nerds got it dropped yet or what?

[summer hatch]

Paramount+ gonna Paramount

[solar vault]

On ep 2 and so far so good 🔥

[fresh flame]

It's not a wildcard or snail production tbf

[burnt patio]

im glad im not alone in being canadian poppy 🫶

[fresh flame]

Yep

[wispy plume]

Doesn’t matter (although I think Wildcard actually is involved)

[burnt patio]

i mean it. does matter?

[fresh flame]

Members of wc yes. But not the company

[arctic mason]

I guess there’s only one option left

[rain canopy]

Wildcard made it then paramount shipped it

[fresh flame]

Nope. Wc didn't make it

[wispy plume]

Doesn’t change what I said man

[burnt patio]

WC funded it*

[west spoke]

Is the show good at all?

[burnt patio]

i think its very good!

[fresh flame]

I am 90% sure it's personally funded

[rain canopy]

I was saying you were right

[dapper ridge]

Not entirely true
The founders funded it

[solar vault]

👍

[burnt patio]

ahh ty for the clarification on that ^^

[fresh flame]

Pretty sure it's dollies brainchild. Kinda seems that way

[summer hatch]

||Lmfao Rockwell just called Helena a degenerate xD||

[wispy plume]

Who has seen the series already?

[burnt patio]

✋

[wispy plume]

Is it loyal to the explorer notes?

[summer hatch]

||seems they havent patched the raptor pounce in this version 😂||

[burnt patio]

no, and it was never going to be

[fresh flame]

You want spoilers?

[wispy plume]

Nope

[fresh flame]

Then why you asking lol 🤣

[burnt patio]

it takes the key points from the explorer notes and works off that while creating its own story

[wispy plume]

That question can be answered without spoilers tf

[west spoke]

Does it follow the general story tho or is it completely its own thing

[summer hatch]

Not really, but it follows the overall storyline

Not in the same order as explorer notes

[summer hatch]

50/50 I’d say

[fresh flame]

Lets just say it jumps in, the notes take longer to get going

[burnt patio]

yeah def a 50/50 so overall its the same story, just told differently with different inbetweens

[summer hatch]

@dapper ridge its worth noting there will be NO VOD

[white tinsel]

I love the animation

[wispy plume]

I mean, that should be normal because the notes are written in certain points of the story and don’t tell most of it, but I wish I would follow the main events of the notes

[summer hatch]

I do too, I just wish for it to come out legally in my region ASAP 😭

[velvet temple]

Gotta move this channel from ark: the future now

[wispy plume]

Yes please, what region you at?

[burnt patio]

well it does generally follow the main events tbf

[summer hatch]

India

[wispy plume]

How are you watching the series?

[summer hatch]

The 1st ep is free on twitch rn

[velvet temple]

From what i saw of episode one i would say no

[dapper ridge]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2096982777

More meant this is for those who want to rewind

[wispy plume]

Ain’t no way, fr?

[summer hatch]

Yes

[dapper ridge]

Just linked it

[burnt patio]

i was going to say general plotline is similar just told very differently

[wispy plume]

Oh my god, thank you, imma enjoy this

[summer hatch]

And the 1st ep is a wrap

They will rewind it once more, there’s still time for midnight PT ig

[summer hatch]

How does one rewind btw

The rewind button ain’t work

It’s greyed out

[dapper ridge]

You can't on the live page. Need to click from the profile to the start

[crisp tangle]

Can't seem to find the vod, would you mind sending a link?

[dapper ridge]

Do i just stream it in vc

[crisp tangle]

oh, thanks

[wispy plume]

What do you mean?

[summer hatch]

From the start? Yesss

I missed like the 1st 15 mins

[wispy plume]

Helena is just a lesbian, doesn’t mean it has to be woke, the characters are great if you haven’t read the notes

[white tinsel]

I missed the opening so if I’m watching it again xd

[dry raft]

Gonna have to find a way to watch this

[summer hatch]

Oh they’re replaying it once again now

Quick anyone who wants to watch from the start

[wispy plume]

What do you mean it’s a wrap?

[summer hatch]

Le time is now ‼️

[summer hatch]

I just finished it, but they’re replaying it now

[frosty wadi]

We gotta wait for 🏴‍☠️ sites

[wispy plume]

I have it in video format

[summer hatch]

So go to twitch if u wanna grab the 1st ep before April 19 rolls aroind

I will watch it legit if I can, no sailing the high seas unless its a MUST

[dry raft]

Paramount+ is only in some countries around the world anyway, many won't get it through it on April 19th either

[solar vault]

MC is gay that's it lol

[west spoke]

Wdym even in the notes there were lgbtq characters

[white tinsel]

Bob🗣️

[frosty wadi]

Wasn't May lesbian as well?

[west spoke]

Yup

[solar vault]

Well that is kind of relative to the MC being gay...

[half stone]

the fuck were they thinking making the animated series a US-only show till april 19th... so many people are gonna pirate this now, no way they will wait till april 19 lol

[solar vault]

Well the mc is gay and she is def a strong female lead

[fresh flame]

It's less easy to pirate

[solar vault]

Ehhh it's not super realistic so far considering the fact she's still alive but that's usual plot armour

[fresh flame]

It's a TV show about dinosaurs and Roman generals, it's not realistic

[summer hatch]

||Show features venus flytraps on le Island||

[half stone]

mhm, true. but that won't stop people.

[west spoke]

Then your problem isnt wokeness your problem is just bad writing

[solar vault]

There ain't no message

[fresh flame]

Stop no, hinder yes. And in business thats what it takes lol

[solar vault]

The message is dinosaurs are eating everyone

[dry raft]

Especially when people here are already sharing spoilers and the majority of countries will not get it even in April. Paramount plus is not very available.

[summer hatch]

Idk how business works but they should have tried for a more widely available service

[half stone]

yea exactly; i have no clue what they were thinking, and now this is gonna be pirated a fuck ton because of it.

[summer hatch]

They probably did tbh. But most big platforms want a say in their “originals”

[west spoke]

Not your writing xD the shows writing. Your saying your scared of wokeness being a issue in it but only if its badly written

[fervent stag]

Shit, which one is the spoiler?

[dry raft]

It's very likely

[half stone]

there is a big demand for it outside of the US

[solar vault]

It's || to spoiler

Whoever sent that about rockwell lol

[summer hatch]

But the show was done when they started looking with platforms

[fresh flame]

I agree.

[summer hatch]

So probably they were turned down by Prime/Netflix/Disney+

[fervent stag]

||Making Rockwell comically evil at literally episode 1, with no character arc to his madness kind of pisses me off, personally at least.||

[fresh flame]

Paramount+ is a pretty meh service

[fresh flame]

Same

[solar vault]

Oh yeah I didn't like that bit

[burnt patio]

agreed

[summer hatch]

||Jeremy hinted they changed 1 character’s arc, I think Rockwell will redeem himself at the end of Gen2||

[fervent stag]

Think that's going to be probably the biggest complaint.

[dry raft]

Oh well, I guess I'll wait until to watch it I have to close multiple aggressive chat sites pop ups

So exciting

[fresh flame]

I don't know how to do the hidden message thing

[white tinsel]

I agree

[fresh flame]

Not possible

[summer hatch]

But there’s so many hot singles near you ‼️ 🔥

[dapper ridge]

Put 2 || on either side of the message

[west spoke]

He was testing on humans in the notes to if i remember right, he was never a good person at all he just got his edmundium obsession and lost it completely

[summer hatch]

Idk

[fervent stag]

||The shit he's already done in episode 1 can't be redeemed.
Forcing a person to watch another person they just bonded with get eaten by a Rex in fron of them is not redeemable ||

[fresh flame]

||Like this||

[dapper ridge]

||Like that||

[summer hatch]

||He was alr a pretty sussy guy in Island, just covertly||

[burnt patio]

ep6 time 😰

[summer hatch]

Now he’s sussy but publicly

[solar vault]

Damn you're speed running

[fervent stag]

He tested on willing subject.
No different from what we have today of people being paid to be subjects.
He had an ego on The Island notes, but he wasn't evil.

[solar vault]

I've needed to pause a lot and do stuff irl lol

[burnt patio]

its been 3 hours poppy 😭

[solar vault]

😅

[burnt patio]

its 3am what else is there to do lmfaoo

[west spoke]

Didnt he do it on captives to?

[solar vault]

True true although it's 1am over here on the west coast

[west spoke]

Has been a while since i read the notes

[solar vault]

I've been studying and doing laundry

[fervent stag]

No, he refused to use slaves that Nerva offered cause it was inhumane.

[fresh flame]

||let's just agree they Mei perfectly||

[fervent stag]

He still had standards at that point.

[burnt patio]

i was planning on working until 2 since thats when i expected release, then it dropped at 12 so 😭

[dry raft]

And it's 9AM in central europe. Let's get an aussie in here

[summer hatch]

||no she’s not thicc||

[west spoke]

[solar vault]

I love how they've taken the gear very literally

[summer hatch]

||NOOOOO BOB||

[fervent stag]

Anyway, going to hop out of chat to not get spoiled.

[velvet temple]

||I liked rockwell a lot at least in episode 1 so far but definitely is different to notewell, he is immediately shown being a foil to helena as another scientific mind but with opposite views on how to handle the beasts of the ark through operant conditioning||

On my thoughts on rockwell

[fresh flame]

||I predicted it like 2 years ago lol, Bob dies right away||

[summer hatch]

||Mei being thicc is canon don’t me||

[summer hatch]

Fuck ur prediction tbf 😭 😭

[dry raft]

Yeah gonna abandon this with you. I'll come back when 🏴‍☠️ time ensues

[solar vault]

||He just seems kinda dense in general in the animated version. Not much science going on.||

[white tinsel]

||poor bob||

[fresh flame]

||Bob is the greatest lol||

[fresh flame]

1800s bro

[velvet temple]

||tbf helena kept escaping so he was focused on that||

[summer hatch]

||Bob chad||

[solar vault]

Oh damn true

[dapper ridge]

Episode 1 is available to watch on twitch. (Look at the vods so you can rewind

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2096982777

[west spoke]

Does he respawn?

[dapper ridge]

Spoiler stuff please

[near seal]

It doesn't cost Wildcard money to promote it themselves on their website or twitter or anywhere that it is free to advertise.

[solar vault]

Only in our hearts

[summer hatch]

||no, Helena hasn’t invented respawning yet||

[burnt patio]

theyre just relying on your vids for promotion now dw 🤣🤣

[summer hatch]

||yo Indian cameo!!||

[fresh flame]

Technically it does, but it would be a minor cost

[near seal]

haha true, at least I got the date right this time.

[burnt patio]

you been liking it so far if youre watching?

[fresh flame]

Nah. It's terribke

[burnt patio]

[burnt patio]

[halcyon crown]

thanks, that's it, no need for more spoilers

[halcyon crown]

[solar vault]

No

[glossy ginkgo]

[solar vault]

Clubbed and force fed

[burnt patio]

😭

[halcyon crown]

[burnt patio]

[west cedar]

AND why was the dodo eating the bugs?!? Thought they like berries?! Not chitin :0

[solar vault]

😅

[burnt patio]

we all get our cravings

[west cedar]

Bro thought he is an archeopteryx

[solar vault]

Don't shame the Dodo for betraying their vegetarianism

[static sorrel]

[solar vault]

US/Canada

[scenic frost]

[burnt patio]

[solar vault]

Oh lol

Damn kinda love how much attention natives get in this show

[burnt patio]

AGREED

[solar vault]

LIke ayo they somehow touched on residential schools in Ark???

[rain canopy]

Just finished the first episode and wow… that was way beyond my expectations

[burnt patio]

seriously, its something i never expected and yet somehow done amazingly

its a topic that needs discussed more in media

[white tinsel]

Weird seeing the island with actual people

[solar vault]

Well I mean servers have actual people

And tribes, and war

[white tinsel]

true xd but I just saying with story characters ig

[solar vault]

Yeye I get it lol

[oak brook]

oh no no, I'd point to Jeremy and Jesse in that regard...but they bought myself and Jat on very early and we all worked closely together

good reply skills, me

[solar vault]

Pro

[white tinsel]

better then me

[rain canopy]

Rockwell is so deliciously evil, it’s so easy to make villains too camp like a Bond villain but wow, that was genuinely amazing

[oak brook]

🫀

[rain canopy]

Can I extend a big congrats to you and the team? I can only watch the first episode until next month but it’s already perfect

[solar vault]

2nd and 3rd ep are even better trust

[oak brook]

ty so much, i've been nervous haha

moreso than game related releases

[white tinsel]

ost cooked as usual

[rain canopy]

You’re done an amazing job!!

[oak brook]

agree Poppy, i think it gets better with each ep

[near seal]

is it safe to come in here for the next month? Is everything auto-spoiler tagged?

[oak brook]

yeah we may need to hook something up huh

[fresh flame]

Lol, no people spoiling like crazy

[burnt patio]

ep6 spoilies!!!

||omggggg mei yin and helena kisseddd i love themmm 🫶🫶||

[rain canopy]

Maybe make a spoiler thread?

[near seal]

ok, i'll stay away for now

[solar vault]

It took 6 eps for that? Damn

[fresh flame]

Bro we know you saw it first. Quit spoiling lol

[white tinsel]

Episode 1 done again 😼

[burnt patio]

dude its only spoilers if you unspoiler it?

[fresh flame]

Has so far

[burnt patio]

sharing excitement over a largely anticipated show lmao

[dapper ridge]

Unfortunately need to rely on people to individually spoiler tag stuff. So probably best to avoid this channel for the next month

[fresh flame]

||I actually love John. So well done||

[solar vault]

Epic spoiler fail

[white tinsel]

xD

[solar vault]

||John gang 🔥||

[solar vault]

||Casually tames an agro Pt||

[fresh flame]

I like rhubarb

[solar vault]

Rhubarb nuggies 🤤

I dunno man why are you in this channel if you're not watching...

Like what is there to discuss?

[rain canopy]

I meant make a spoiler flare, like in the channel name, sorry I was tired 😅

[summer hatch]

I’ll satisfy myself woth Shogun until Apr 19

[solar vault]

Lol

[oak brook]

yeah i think it makes sense for this chan to have a spoiler warning

[summer hatch]

chan 😳

[burnt patio]

😳

[solar vault]

I know I know

[burnt patio]

just finished!! id give it a 8/10,
||lost points just due to the choppy animation + rockwells character being weird. id maybe give a 9 if it wasnt 4am||
||side note: the preview for part 2 looks INSANE!!! i am SO HYPED!! thanks dollie and everyone else that worked on this for giving us something so amazing||

[feral lake]

Its out or is this bait?

[burnt patio]

its out for US and CA

[wise gorge]

its out

[feral lake]

What platform

[burnt patio]

paramount +

[wise gorge]

paramount, did you not look at the announcement?

[feral lake]

Ah fuck, no thats why im asking lol

Another streamingsite to my collection

[solar vault]

It's just this is the channel for discussing the show... so that's what we're doing

[burnt patio]

talk in the animated show channel and youre gonna hear about the animated show 😭

[solar vault]

Listen I doubt anyone will really be discussing it outside this channel

[burnt patio]

the only talk of it im seeing in the other channels really is complaining how theres gay characters 🧍‍♂️ so

[solar vault]

Makes sense

[quick fox]

Why..just why they dont release show to whole world? only us and canada?

[burnt patio]

yeahhh 💀

[wintry vigil]

Well guys, just read the news. We've come a long way, and it's finally here.
Is it worth the wait? Idk, I hope so. I'll have to wait yet another month to get to see it

[solar vault]

It's coming soon

[west cedar]

||Bob woke up on scorched earth?!?||

[solar vault]

Calm down I'm not there yet 😅

[west cedar]

XD sorry

[solar vault]

I've been watching since it dropped like 6 hours ago and I"m still behind lmao

[burnt patio]

fluffy you cannot steal my redemption arc like that 💔

[west cedar]

The preview for part 2 is so good

[west cedar]

[burnt patio]

betrayed

[solar vault]

🍿

Damn you guys got me excited for part 2 already

[burnt patio]

you SHOULD be omg

the preview was insane 🗣️🗣️🗣️

now im gonna sleep and pretend its not 4am 🧍‍♂️ have a great night guys :)

[solar vault]

Sleep well

😴

[west cedar]

[solar vault]

😅 at least we're tagging

Honestly there is nothing really to spoil, most of it is not the sharp plot but instead the story and interactions of characters

[fresh flame]

Oh, just wait. I can spoil the whole show

[solar vault]

Like maybe you could spoil the topic of each ep

Imagine

[west cedar]

||Santiago has a bulbdog it's so cute||

[crisp tangle]

It does not seem to follow them at all, only seen the first episode though. The characters are different and story will be too, so don't expect anything akin to the notes

[solar vault]

Yeah it's not really like the notes but it doesn't generally cover the story of the island

[steel minnow]

Time to download it for free then. Very racist today about keeping animated series from entire world

[trim locust]

So where does this fit in the lore? First episode Helena is enemies with everyone in the lore that she is really friendly with until about half way through the dossiers

[solar vault]

Lmao it's dropping globally in like 3 weeks it's not really a rush

[solar vault]

Just consider everything a bit rushed

[west cedar]

it is not canon to the story, not supposed to be a 1:1 representation. Will have lots of diferences

[trim locust]

Ah okay I thought they might do something not exactly 1:1 Ty

[solar vault]

It tells the story of the notes but with more drama and obviously like any adaptation it has it's own spin

[crisp tangle]

Read through them after you finish the show if you want, they're good. My favourite game story so far

[solar vault]

||Not a fan of the fact Helena gains skills so quickly. She is the main character ig...||

[trim locust]

The story is so good even though it’s through text for Mei yin’s and Nervas. It’s probably one of my top narratives

[ebon isle]

Hi I live in Australia and I heard the Animated Series is out but I can't watch it on youtube or Paramount + becuase of location restrictions?

[crisp tangle]

They're not telling the story unfortunately

[solar vault]

US/Canada only until the 19th of April

The first ep is on twitch tho if you check pins

[crisp tangle]

I'll summarise it as unspoiling as possible.

The notes have four main characters. The show has one and two villains (only seen episode one)

[ebon isle]

Oh ok thanks so either pirate streaming sites or VPN

[solar vault]

Once you watch all the eps you'll see they do balance with the notes

[west cedar]

Guys check #fanart-and-screenshots !! Time to find the new explorer notes from Bob :o

[solar vault]

Not 1:1 but it's not a massice stretch

[fading scroll]

anyone whos watched it want to share their opinion? curious if its any good

[crisp tangle]

Alright, that's good to hear

[crisp tangle]

I mean, watch the stream and you can form your own thoughts

[west cedar]

Great in my opinion

[frosty wadi]

Vpn doesn't work. You need us/canada payment

[solar vault]

First ep is only the beginning

[fading scroll]

how many episodes dropped?

[solar vault]

There is a nice balance of plot/drama that makes it feel like a decent production

[ebon isle]

damn for real? why the crackdown on other countries watching there content?

[solar vault]

Also it touches on topics I personally think are important so I'm a bit bias

[frosty wadi]

Yeah, even PayPal payment on yt with vpn gets rejected

[main smelt]

I assume that more episodes will drop next week right?

[solar vault]

April 19th

[west cedar]

There are 6 eps atm, part 2 will drop soon

[solar vault]

Oh you meant the second part

[main smelt]

Yeah meant the second part

[solar vault]

No clue when soon is

[ebon isle]

lucky americans. They get to watch Ark: Animated Series in early acess

[solar vault]

Only a bit of it though

[stoic stag]

Wouldn't want my ark any other way

[solar vault]

Once it's out globally there will be more eps

[frosty wadi]

"globally". Paramount+ isn't even avaible at all in many eu countries... The only hope is that they will release it globally on youtube

[candid onyx]

Is the paramount app shitting itself for anyone else?

[west cedar]

They cannot handle all the trafic hehe

[solar vault]

At that point it will be easy to pirate

[frosty wadi]

True

[scenic frost]

that first episode ❤️

[solar vault]

Working fine for me

[glossy ginkgo]

there is no Paramount Plus in my country, can someone just give me broad strokes of the story here for me please

[solar vault]

Ep 1 is on twitch if you check pins

[glossy ginkgo]

and the rest

[dreamy vault]

Is Ark the animated series in US only

[solar vault]

US/Canada

[scenic frost]

theyre streaming on twitch the first episode for free

[dreamy vault]

Aus ):

[scenic frost]

paramount plus twitch channel

[stoic stag]

Watch party's with American friends how dare ark force us to come together.

[solar vault]

Lol that's one way

[scenic frost]

literally starting the loop again now

[glossy ginkgo]

doesn't discord ban people for doing that

[solar vault]

Discord doesn't care unless you get reported

Globally means youtube

[west cedar]

Has anyone found bob's first explorer note?

[stoic stag]

They have a early release contract with paramount is most likely all that means

[solar vault]

Don't know what to tell y'a

[frosty wadi]

You still need P+ subscruption on amazon or appletv for it

[candid onyx]

Maybe it's stopping more people from using it cause their servers go br

[solar vault]

Perhaps. I'm also in Canada where like no one lives so it could be that

[west cedar]

Im tryinggggg I cant see it anywhereeee

[candid onyx]

Maybe

[stoic stag]

Gotta think as well every walmart+ member gets paramount for free as well so it's a large target audience for part one

[solar vault]

Lol what is a walmart+ member

[stoic stag]

Wrong place for that question

[solar vault]

||Damn Mei's grandfather is cookin||

I know it's hard but you need to reject the horny mothers

[ripe flume]

I have waited for this show for so long . . . my god . . . that first episode was AMAZING!

[solar vault]

First ep is the worst of the batch :)

[frosty wadi]

UBlock works for me

[solar vault]

It only get's better

[dreamy vault]

Ahh yes, Ark making a show FOR 2 YEARS, making it on PARAMOUNT, and making it US/Canada only, R U SERIOUS

[frosty wadi]

Ad blocker. Browser extension (speaking of pc)

[solar vault]

The US/Canada thing is not forever

[frosty wadi]

Np!

[dreamy vault]

Yes but I can’t watch literally any Ark YouTubers till it comes out, and Paramount+, like really, couldn’t do it like rent/buy on YouTube or Amazon prime or something

[solar vault]

Yeah that would be great but here we are

[north iron]

who decided it was a good idea to give america 1 month early acsess so they can spoil the series for the majority of viewers

[stoic stag]

If the studio got backing by paramount then it would most likely be limited time release.

[ripe flume]

That’s the worst? It’s hella amazing for a “worst” episode

[solar vault]

Yes the rest of the show is just that much better

[stoic stag]

Again watch party's with friends or other people in the community. Yall are making this a problem for no reason

[solar vault]

Actualllly I change my mind I think the first is good but that's just because it pushes the story the most as it is the longest

[dreamy vault]

It’s wildcard… it happened with Asa as well with console users. Like, I would rather wait another month or 2 and have it for rent/buy on YouTube than have this.

[dreamy vault]

Alright, the watch party leader isn’t here, let me just wait 2 hours

[solar vault]

||Helena clearly has a type for warriors damn||

[north iron]

im persoanly a pc user, so the concole thing didnt affect me, but i still agree they should have waited with releasing that as well

[solar vault]

Canada used to get nothing so I'm perfectly fine with this

[vital flax]

use a vpn

[lilac wasp]

Wait it’s out right now?

[solar vault]

VPN doesn't always work these days since most streaming services detect it

[frosty wadi]

Doesn't work tor this

[solar vault]

Also you need a US/Canadian account aka North american credit card

[vital flax]

ur all using bad vpns

[dreamy vault]

Ye, I’m on Xbox and my friends on PS, and when we realised Asa was cross play we were really happy, until pc came out 1 month before xbox… and ps5 came out 1 Monty after xbox.

[vital flax]

im using a vpn and am watching it rn

[frosty wadi]

There is still an US/Canadian payment needed

[vital flax]

and im in australia

[solar vault]

🤨

Are you paying for a vpn

[dreamy vault]

What vpn u using?

[frosty wadi]

Tell me how did your payment got accepted?

[vital flax]

i made the vpn with a raspberry pie

[frosty wadi]

People tried vpn on yt and PayPal payment got rejected

[solar vault]

Lmao ok bud

[vital flax]

yall so gullible

[dreamy vault]

For asking what con u used💀

VPN, autocorrect crazy

[vital flax]

for u beliving it ahah

[stoic stag]

Oh the in game event is kinda salt in the wound for non Americans players

[vital flax]

U can watch the first episode on twitch rn on the ParamountPlus chanel

[dreamy vault]

I mean, I used to have a vpn to get shows. I don’t no more ):

[solar vault]

It's in the pins homie

[dreamy vault]

I can’t go back idk how to use twitch

[vital flax]

its pre mid anyways who cares for spoliers

do the notes give xp buffs?

[stoic stag]

-.- everyone who cares about ark cares about the story

[fresh flame]

Praise Bob

[solar vault]

Rhubarb kinda cooler than bob ngl

I wanted Rhubarb and Dodo to kiss in the final ep

[fresh flame]

Huh

U mad bro?

[solar vault]

Land before time is top tier

[stoic stag]

Ok yes but The Lost World was better

[acoustic holly]

have to give it to em land before time does go incredibly hard

[solar vault]

It wasn't the studio which paid for the show

It was the devs themselves who funded it

[scenic frost]

😭😭

[vital flax]

when they should be funding the game

[stoic stag]

Not mad but complains about a game they play trying to hit a market they may not of had. How many new players do you think the anime will bring to the game.

[acoustic holly]

REAL

[vital flax]

0

[solar vault]

The animation is kinda more for people who already play Ark

It is good without pre-ark knowledge too tho

[vital flax]

nothing about it is good

[main shard]

Annoyed that I can’t even watch till April 19th

[solar vault]

||Mei carrying every fight ngl||

[stoic stag]

I mean they took the time and money to make something new/ slightly used for the community. I can appreciate that.

[solar vault]

👍

||Damn every mc from the notes is so much superior to the unamed characters it feels like Darth Vader killing Storm Troopers||

[fresh flame]

||well when someone has a historical record of them personally thst usually is the case ||

[solar vault]

||Y'a but in the face of Mei they are literally Dodo tier at combat||

Ep 5 is quite the bop tho

[west cedar]

@hallow nexus You guys forgot to make it so wolves can smell the new notes didnt you

[fresh flame]

||Rockwell counters Mei though ||

[solar vault]

👀

[west cedar]

I have sniffed EVERY grain of sand

[solar vault]

||Like the little rat he is||

||Two Elite fighters in a 1v1 meanwhile Rockwell with a tranq dart...||

More spicy that way 👍

[fresh flame]

It was leaked pretty considerably like a week before

[hollow vine]

So is it any good?

[solar vault]

Yes

I would say it's very good

Although imo ||we don't see enough rockwell progression, he's honestly a side character||

[dense blaze]

[stoic stag]

Lol

[dense blaze]

Time to get para+

[solar vault]

Just the 7 day free trial is enough

[stoic stag]

@acoustic blaze it's called arketing there version of marketing

[solar vault]

Very special version

[fresh flame]

||Mei might have fought the brood, but John one shot a giga with a prim bow and arrow||

[dense blaze]

Is it region locked though
That is the question

[solar vault]

||John is def A tier but Mei Yin is def the best fighter on the Ark||

[solar vault]

US/Canada only yes

[stoic stag]

For now

[dense blaze]

Unfortunate

[stoic stag]

Arketing. At its finest

[fresh flame]

||John is my clear favorite now fhough||

[errant wagon]

#justiceforbob

[solar vault]

||He's my fav too but I'm a bit bias lol||

||Measuring time passing by clocks and character growth ❌ ||
||Measuring time passing by Rhubarb growth ✅||

[fresh flame]

||I think we get more about Rockwell in the next group of episodes||

[solar vault]

||I hope so, legit barely noticed he existed outside of ep 6 and when he shot Mei in ep 5||

Homie too busy plotting

[fresh flame]

||my only question is if John is the same John from scorched, that'll be neat. ||

[solar vault]

||Damn maybe I gotta catchup on scorched earth lore, I haven't really dabbled||

[fresh flame]

||let's just say John is pretty great lol||

[solar vault]

Hype

Pumped for Scorched Earth on ASA

[fresh flame]

I just finished the series, bro, it was worth the wait. It was pretty masterfully done imo. Everything I wanted out of an ark series

[solar vault]

You mean the game + DLCs?

[strange rover]

No. He means the animated series.

The animated series based on Studio WildCard’s “Ark: Survival Evolved” video game finally has a platform attached. The first six episodes of Season 1 surprise dropped on Paramount+ on Thursday, with the remaining seven episodes set for a later date.

This was pulled from a Variety article.

[solar vault]

Damn that was fast, it's been like 6 hours

[strange rover]

I can 100% confirm that in Canada, Ark Animated Series is available on Paramount+ via Amazon Prime, right now, ready to watch.

[solar vault]

Yeah I know I watched it all 😅

[clever current]

So glad we have to wait an extra month if we're not in us 👍

[solar vault]

Canadians got to watch it 2 hours early :)

[strange rover]

For the first time in Canadian history, we arent sorry. 😄

[solar vault]

True story. Also the first time in Canadian history we got a show first

[strange rover]

Well, Im sure the US has it too... they wouldnt drop it on Paramount+ just for Canada, when its on Amazon Prime. 10 to 1, the US has it too.

[solar vault]

US got it 3 hours ago

[strange rover]

Either way, lol, North American Ark players have around 2 hours of TV watching to look forward to today. 😄

[solar vault]

True story

[west cedar]

Can't be

[strange rover]

Its absolutely f'ing crazy though, that there was ZERO advertisement from Studio Wildcard or Paramount+ about this. Its like it was meant to be a commercial flop.

[dense blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

[solar vault]

Ah Darn? Are you sure. ||Bob got revived so this John better be there||

[outer island]

||I knew that stupid para was left on follow lmao||

[solar vault]

Loll

Whistle stop all is a lie when it comes to parasaurs

[outer island]

lol

[west cedar]

Unless they change his character from the game interely, I guess so

[solar vault]

That's sad. I mean ||Bob isn't in the notes either though...||

||I will say not enough romantic tension was built up between Mei and Helena for that last scene||

[dense blaze]

Show wasn’t going to be accurate

[violet compass]

||Bobs his own man. He doesn’t need to be in the notes||

[solar vault]

Oh man I really hope part II is not season II

[strange rover]

From my understanding, season 1 is 13 episodes and season 2 is some other amount of eps.

But I could be wrong.

[outer island]

That did dash my hopes for an EP next week

[strange rover]

Its strange that this show has been DONE for over a year, and they are dropping it in stages. 6 eps now, 7 eps later, season 2, lord knows when. Maybe they will do a new ep a week? No clue. ZERO MARKETING, ZERO INFORMATION. Typical WIldcard.

[solar vault]

||Why is ONLY John dead, legit even Bob lives||

||Homie was the best character yet they brought everyone else back for part II||

[west cedar]

||in the notes mei yin dates diana so..||

[strange rover]

I dont think "dates" is the right word, lol

[solar vault]

||I just meant they showed like 0 romantic properties before that moment... seemed out of place||

[strange rover]

Its not like they went out for pizza and a movie. 😄

[solar vault]

Well what can you do when living on the Ark

[west cedar]

They practiced tongue kissing

[strange rover]

Screw your ever loving brains out, every chance you get.

[solar vault]

How to train your dragon moment flying through the sky on a pt

[solar vault]

For sure

[outer island]

Actually in the notes in a way they did go out more for pizza Helena loved meis cooking they built it up more in game

[solar vault]

Mei is not in the kitchen for the animation

[main smelt]

||But yeah how are they gonna handle Diana I am wondering ||

[solar vault]

||I don't think she's relevant at all? Not even in the part 2 trailer||

[outer island]

Helena in the notes brings up mei muscles also. She was checking her out lol

[solar vault]

Yeah but the animation is a seperate thing

||I just think it needed a bit more buildup||

[outer island]

Oh I agree

[solar vault]

Felt forced

[outer island]

Just saying the notes built up more for nothing where the animation like u say

[solar vault]

Yeye

[strange rover]

Diana not being mentioned makes sense, no? She didn't show up until Aberration, as far as I know it. This show seems to be Island only...

[solar vault]

Yes

[outer island]

Makes more sense than the loot from that boss fight lol

[solar vault]

||But it doesn't seem like we'll be getting any Aberration action until at least season II if at all. It might end with Scorched Earth||

||Mmm yes random Tek Rifle moment||

[fast juniper]

I hate that they threw all the lore from the game off a cliff for the show

[solar vault]

I mean they stuck to the general characters and a bit of the plot

[strange rover]

Well... they know how to make their longtime gamers hate their latest game, so it only tracks that theyd make an animated series that would alienate all of the fans of the game, lol.

[west cedar]

||we saw santiago in the preview for ark 2 tho, even the bulbdog :o||

[main smelt]

We can say that the character are accurate

[strange rover]

Wildcard doing what Wildcard does best.

[solar vault]

||Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention? I missed that completely||

[fast juniper]

The only thing they kept is the characters names

[surreal pier]

It is not Wildcard themselves creating the show, and the show is not following the game.

[solar vault]

^^ This was a side project from the founders

[fast juniper]

They killed the broodmother with a goddamn spear dude

[solar vault]

What can y'a do

[strange rover]

Say "Yay! Paramount released another Halo" 😄 😄 😄

[solar vault]

Imo I enjoy it being different, the story told in game is unique and the animation gives a different take on the story of the Ark

[strange rover]

aka a video game show noone cares about except the people who play the game, who will then hate the show for all of its inaccuracies.

[fast juniper]

And INSTANTLY got tek rifles and knew how to use them

[solar vault]

Every show based on a game ever

[fast juniper]

This show is definitely not based off ark other than having dinosaurs

[strange rover]

Except for The Last of Us.

Different... but still nailed it.

[solar vault]

Haven't played the game or watched the show lmao

[strange rover]

That makes zero sense. Ugh, I hate that kind of garbage.

[west cedar]

I mean would you rather watch them do a Rex farm xD

[strange rover]

YES! And spend 8 seasons (13*8 episodes) setting up a good mutation chain. 😄

[solar vault]

Lmao ark breeding the animated series

[summer hatch]

its a gun with a trigger, why would they not know to pull a trigger on a gun 🗿

[oak brook]

trust the process, you may feel differently by the end

[outer island]

I disagree with the brood dropping it. But obtaining it in game means u can use it. So I'm good with that

[west cedar]

Lmao stretch season one over the course of 4 years

[summer hatch]

Just bcz its made of a funny looking metal?? Well for Mei Yin even a regular gun is funny looking metal

[solar vault]

Yes the part 2 trailer already opens up some ideas

[fast juniper]

You haven't played the games or read explorer notes if you're asking that

[summer hatch]

💀

The Animated Series is more attuned to our normal laws of physics than video game rules

[fast juniper]

You can't use a tek rifle unless you have the tekgram

[summer hatch]

Man...idk what to say...

[fast juniper]

The show is DEFINITELY not based off normal laws of physics

[strange rover]

Dollie love... why has there been zero communication or marketing for this? Its odd that we all had to rely on Youtuber's to know the show was dropping today. 😦

[solar vault]

@oak brook I do have a question if you could answer. Are the natives in the animation speaking an actual indigenous dialect or is it just roughly referenced and made-up.

[fast juniper]

Theres parts where helena jumps 30ft+

[oak brook]

exactly

[fast juniper]

Also armor doesn't do anything

[solar vault]

All the characters love jumping

[summer hatch]

I said more closely, not exactly

[fast juniper]

Arrows can ho through flak like butter

[strange rover]

🤣

[summer hatch]

It doesn't have the concepts of health, obviously, because a well placed arrow will kill even a giga in a shot

[oak brook]

mhmm cultural advisors helped immensely

[summer hatch]

It hits the brain that giga is a goner, which would obviously not make sense for a video game

But in the animated series its fair game

[fast juniper]

The broodmother is attacked by its own spiders dude

[summer hatch]

Also why are you complaining about logic in a TV series with roman generals and dinosaurs

[strange rover]

Pwahaha, fair point. 😄

[outer island]

I like the concept of caves and less than deadly cave critters. Effing claustrophobic though lol

[solar vault]

Well it's always nice when an adaptation meets the standards of the players

[fast juniper]

No but they basically skipped every bit of the explorer notes, and threw away giant parts of the lore

[solar vault]

Yeah...

Either way I've enjoyed part 1

[summer hatch]

Im ok w/ that if it makes a better narrative experience

[solar vault]

Excited for part 2

[main smelt]

There were definitely changes, but either way I really like what I watched

[inland pike]

Ark cartoon is lame. 💩

[outer island]

It was really good 7/10

[main smelt]

Agree

[near canopy]

show was 🔥, solid twist on the games story, exited for part 2 as well

[inland pike]

0/10

[west cedar]

Hype train is back

[summer hatch]

wow, also the leave server button is at the top 🗿

[solar vault]

Well this server is for the video game...

[summer hatch]

I was joking

Dont leave us @inland pike let us have some civil talks as to ur dislike for the show

[solar vault]

He's typing up something... nvm

[summer hatch]

Let him cook

[west cedar]

Omg it’s finally coming …how long we’ve waited for this

[hollow crescent]

When?

[gilded narwhal]

How do u watch it in the uk

[solar vault]

You don't

[hollow crescent]

Vpn

[hollow vine]

I liked the part where Bob said "it's Bobbing time" and he Bobbed all over the ARK

[tulip escarp]

who has a link to paramount? its either not propigated or just a issue my end
there is no ark when i search it

[solar vault]

Didn't someone say this already like 4 hours ago

[solar vault]

It's US/Canada only

[hollow vine]

...You've been here for 4 hours?

[summer hatch]

I said I was joking bruh forgive me 🗿

[solar vault]

Well actually I've been sitting in this channel since it dropped in Canada... 6 hours ago

[strange rover]

@oak brook can you confim for us that season 1 is 13 eps and season 2 is some other length? Or are the other remaining 7 episodes what is considered season 2?

[hollow vine]

Respect but also why tho

[surreal pier]

Pinned here that season 1 is 14 episodes

[solar vault]

Watching the show and just grinding out some stuff irl on and off

[hollow vine]

Fair enough

[strange rover]

Thanks! ❤️

Would be lovely to have 4 seasons... 1 season per major story Ark, culminating in Titan King fight at the end of season 4. Fingers crossed this can happen.

[summer hatch]

But what abt GEnesis 😳

[strange rover]

Can you imagine Gen1 as a show?!? 😄

The streaming platform would likely crash half the time you were watching it. 😄

[summer hatch]

5 mins per episode spent teleporting 🤣

[summer hatch]

I never found Gen1 that crashy tho xd

[strange rover]

Fair. Gen2 was more crash worthy on our cluster. Extinction and Gen2, routinely needed server restarts, at least 3 times (or more) a week.

[feral lake]

Is the series available in eu?

[summer hatch]

noy yet

[feral lake]

Dogwater

Killed all excitement, yay

[sand iron]

Just use a vpn.

There's free ones. Be sure to not instal virus tho.

[feral lake]

Not worth the hassle

[solar vault]

A free vpn will not work

[west cedar]

I dont wanna wait a month ;-;

[feral lake]

Im not paying for 2 services to watch 6 episodes

[solar vault]

You already watched it I thought...

[hollow vine]

Paramount+ has a week long free trial

[west cedar]

Nop

[sand iron]

Ask a friend to stream it XD or wait for the Arhhgh chips to bring it to you

[solar vault]

^^

[hollow vine]

So I'm checking out the series and then immediately cancelling

[feral lake]

Why does arks launches always suck

[solar vault]

Damn this whole time I assumed you had watched it oof

[solar vault]

I'm not cancelling yet just in case another ep drops

[outer island]

Wish they would make that more clear

[strange rover]

Even still... its not like its an expensive addon to amazon prime or anything, lol.

[teal sandal]

Is the show good?

[solar vault]

Ehhh I usually just leech off other people's subs. I'm pretty stingy

[solar vault]

Personally I enjoyed part one a lot

[teal sandal]

It is not like show for kids right

[solar vault]

Well it would appeal to a younger audience for sure

[teal sandal]

Thanks

[solar vault]

It's not overally complicated

[surreal pier]

It's rated 14 and up

[solar vault]

But of course it's Ark, people die and get injured

[strange rover]

And poop.

[solar vault]

And poop...

[surreal pier]

[daring quiver]

the show was great cant wait for season 2

[strange rover]

🤣

[hollow vine]

I watched the first episode, it seems like there are a lot of big concepts crammed into a relatively short run time so far but it has potential.

[placid lynx]

HOw u guys watching ?

[west cedar]

Next is part 2 of season 1, then season 2

[solar vault]

Paramount+ free trial

[strange rover]

Paramount+ in North America.

[daring quiver]

part 2 season 2 whatever they wanna call it

[oak brook]

i wouldn't recommend it for young children if that's what you mean

[solar vault]

The age rating is appropriate

[outer island]

More a young adult type show. They really went all out more blood than I thought. Not enough poop though haha

[west cedar]

I just wanna see someone accidentaly eat organic poly and drop dead instantly

[strange rover]

Unannounced, but still cool to have... Animated Series today, Scorched Earth in 9 days... its a good stretch of time to be an Ark player. 🙂

[solar vault]

Lmao

[solar vault]

ASA dropping on gamepass soon too

[strange rover]

I preordered and had mine on Day 1, so Im good that way. 🙂

[scenic frost]

He respawns right!?

[west cedar]

He does in fact, respawn

[scenic frost]

🥹

[solar vault]

Only to get roasted up

[teal sandal]

Alright thanks

[scenic frost]

[meager edge]

Anyone else sad ||that they didn’t portray Helena and Rockwell’s friendship and kinda jumped straight into making him evil instead of starting out more as a neutral character :( ||

[solar vault]

Yes

[west cedar]

It is what it is :/

[solar vault]

Been a bit of the talk here

Rockwell get's more spice in part 2 though

Def underwhelming in part 1 when it comes to his character

[meager edge]

That’s good to hear I’m hopeful that they won’t completely strip him of any complexity at all

[daring quiver]

well they seem to tease alot of backstory for him in part 2

[meager edge]

Cant wait to see he’s one of my fav characters in the franchise

[daring quiver]

so i assume well get more complexity in all the characters with more story

[solar vault]

John became my fav and then left before I even knew it

[outer island]

hard to call Rockwell of ever really liking helena. actually making her see his corruption right off makes her smarter. like she ends up being in the notes.

he always used people even on the island

[solar vault]

Yes well orignally in the notes they do at least chat, discuss and progress together for a while

It was never much of a bond but they were on the same team in the notes

[scenic frost]

Calling his experiments soups and stews

[distant cedar]

How do I watch this show outside the USA?

[solar vault]

Move to Canada

Or wait for it to release elsewhere

[scenic frost]

Yep

[surreal pier]

Dollie said just wait for it

[outer island]

i think he only gave her the bird and help as a means to getting what he wanted. he was possibly more subtle in the notes

[solar vault]

Much more subtle

[surreal pier]

Here

[scenic frost]

Written from his pov, he doesn't think he is the bad guy

[solar vault]

Either way the animation is not a terrific representation of the notes

[prime pawn]

Anyone else getting "video unavailable" in the UK?

[scenic frost]

Vpn till 19th

[solar vault]

It's not available outside of US/Canada

[surreal pier]

Twitch has the first episode

[scenic frost]

Paramount plus twitch channel streaming episode one atm on repeat

[meager edge]

He did have genuine respect for her in the beginning, one of his notes he mentioned that she’s one of the only people he can really connect to. He’s always been morally grey but he wasn’t evil in the beginning

I think him starting off as true neutral makes his eventual fall that much sadder but I will wait and see how they change it

[prime pawn]

No way 🤦

[solar vault]

It'll be in the UK next month

[fast juniper]

This feels like the halo show 2.0

[prime pawn]

Thanks for info

[dreamy nest]

how are they gonna hype this up for years and then not tell anyone that if you arent in the us you can get f-ed

[spare tangle]

[outer island]

idk, he would mindwipe people. it wasnt the good thing we see it in game. that would be fairly evil

[solar vault]

It'll be in more regions soon also how often do people pay for the streaming service things come from these days

[fast juniper]

And just went with "we'll take the cool stuff and kinda ignore 90% of the actual lore so we can make it look cool"

[daring quiver]

it comes out april 19th if u read the post

[surreal pier]

It's already been stated that the show does not follow the game lore..

[daring quiver]

The Animated Series is now streaming in the US and Canada. Coming to other countries with Paramount+ starting April 19th.

[fast juniper]

Ok but even then, how'd they kill the broodmother with a spear

[surreal pier]

It's an animated show.

[fast juniper]

Bruh

[daring quiver]

guess youll have to find out when u can watch the show

[fast juniper]

I already watched it all

[dreamy nest]

i read the post, know what, they told us that it was delayed out side of the us AFTER they released it in the us, as i said they never told anyone during them building hype. its not surprising that they cant get anything out onetime but its still unacceptable. and it says other countries, not everywhere, it probably just means the uk, im in australia, so not the uk, so i probably wont get it on the 19th. but thanks for telling me something i already knew.

[neat glacier]

Is it gonna come to india or will i be forced to pirate? Lol

[daring quiver]

well then u answered your own question

[fast juniper]

Bruh x2

It doesn't make sense, so much stuff just happened to just make the plot progress

[grand hawk]

It's blocked on my region 😂

[outer island]

i liked how that played out, and the new concept of caves

[daring quiver]

welcome to story telling

[meager edge]

I mean… did you want to actually watch them grind endlessly for a bunch of episodes or smth to kill the spider? 😭

[fast juniper]

Terrible story writing*

[outer island]

i went from no way due to the critters to no way in hell im crawling through that haha

[placid lynx]

its also streaming on twitch if anyone who cant access paramount

[fast juniper]

Show had so much potential to be good but they threw way to many plot conveniences in

[daring quiver]

have fun being mad lmao. if u love ark and waited for this show for years like i did, you will appreciate everything they did. thank you to everyone at ark for making a great show.

[fast juniper]

I was expecting something like survival against dinosaurs and the environment.

Ya know like ark SURVIVAL evolved

But not a single person died to a wild dinosaur the entire show

[daring quiver]

now i know u didnt watch lmao

just stop chatting in here and go watch it and pay attention instead of being on your phone

[fast juniper]

You're just being a hater on mefor no reason

[warped plaza]

Ok they neeeed to hurry up with the next episodes!!! The only issue I have with it so far was Johns death and hinting Mei yin and Helena become lovers.

[daring quiver]

you have been complaining about everything in the show and im the hater?

[fast juniper]

At least bring some points to the discussion brother

[daring quiver]

i did and u countered with nonsense

[daring quiver]

agreed!

[fast juniper]

Tell me 1 part of the show a person died to a wild dinosaur and I'll stop

WILD btw not tamed by nerva or a tribe

I watched the whole thing, there was none

[meager edge]

Gonna be real awkward when Diana comes into play

[warped plaza]

Right!!!!

[outer island]

||nervas entire army was wild dinos. that was one of helenas underlining points now shut up lmao||

[warped plaza]

They will have to be a throuple lol 😂

[meager edge]

But tbh they lowkey still had a bit of chemistry in the original medium who knows maybe they can all hold hands

[modest tusk]

Is the show good?

[fast juniper]

He tamed a giga bro

[warped plaza]

Absolutely

[daring quiver]

yes

[outer island]

no he didnt watch again pay attention

[fast juniper]

And it listened to him

[outer island]

not tamed

[fast juniper]

Then why didn't it attack him

[daring quiver]

this guy wants the show spelt out for him

[warped plaza]

Not tamed….tortured into obedience

[fast juniper]

Why was he able to command it

[outer island]

it was a great point in the show i wont spoil but it was not tamed they spell it out

[fast juniper]

We do the same thing in game by beating creatures unconscious and feeding them

[outer island]

the rexs were tamed

[scenic frost]

Bug repellent + ghillie, you couldn't tell cause of the skins he had on

[fast juniper]

bruh

[west cedar]

They were bugged ok

[scenic frost]

XD

[fast juniper]

Like does anyone else here not think its dumb that the show didn't have any aspect of survival as a plot point

[outer island]

your turn to explain, why did the raptors turn on their tamers then?

[daring quiver]

?

[scenic frost]

Pheromone dart

[fast juniper]

Im not even gonna bother trying to explain anymore its clear you don't share the same opinions as me, good day

[outer island]

they do spell it out

[warped plaza]

The fact that the ark was basically explained as a reincarnation thing seemed a bit odd but really hooked me in.

[daring quiver]

i feel like it made sense in a way tho.

[scenic frost]

I'm sure it will get more deeper the further along the story goes

Hope we get to see ab

[warped plaza]

It did in a way but was also just a really great interest point to draw people in. A smart move on their part

[west cedar]

They ate rare flowers for dinner

[daring quiver]

i would also like to see other maps but later, maybe next season ? ascend and everything

[west cedar]

We see sorched in the part 2 preview

[cunning musk]

Why was there no hype towards the release date lol

[crude root]

They killed their babies with no muts

[warped plaza]

Yes this exactly

[cunning musk]

Especially releasing on paramount plus where many people have no idea when there’s something new coming out

[surreal pier]

@white tinsel #general or #ark-survival-ascended. This is for the animated series only.

[daring quiver]

oh? i missed that then!

[neat glacier]

Common wildcard L

[cunning musk]

How long is the first season?

[scenic frost]

Yeah true, I'm just impatient

[white tinsel]

Oh yeah wrong one xD

[warped plaza]

Honestly I had no clue until like 5am when my twitter went nuts lol

[crude root]

6 episodes

[white tinsel]

sorry

[surreal pier]

14 episodes

[west cedar]

6 eps part 1 + 8 part 2

[cunning musk]

So does it release every week? Or just part 1 for now

[crude root]

Oh ok nice i didnt know that

[daring quiver]

i knew about this for about a week if not more. most yt people all said paramount

[inland pike]

The first season will be the last season. No way this gets good enough ratings for paramount to continue with a second season.

[crude root]

Is there any plan on when part 2 is coming

[west cedar]

just "soon" prob april 19 with the rest of the countries being able to watch the show

[daring quiver]

agreed! haha waited so long for it to come out nd now i want more. it sucks but also a good thing

[surreal pier]

They were working on the second season before they even found a platform.

[west cedar]

2nd season is done

[cunning musk]

It might, I haven’t watched it yet so no clue lol

[warped plaza]

I was sad for Bob lol 😂

[ionic delta]

Dang i really want to watch this i tried everything no hope

[daring quiver]

what makes u say that?

[scenic frost]

At least this is dropping relatively soon, still got to wait till winter for arcane season two

[west cedar]

He back on scorched dw :3

[crude root]

Yea rip bob

[warped plaza]

I seen that at the end of episode 6

[surreal pier]

They don't like it. Season 2 is already done afaik

[warped plaza]

Crappy way to go out too lol

[cunning musk]

I doubt that it’s as good as primal by Gennedy which has the whole person dino dynamic but I’ll check it out

[daring quiver]

who doesnt like it?

[cunning musk]

They

[surreal pier]

The mustard person.

[scenic frost]

Primal is God tier entertainment

But this series seems pretty good based off the first episode alone

[warped plaza]

It’s really really good

[dreamy nest]

what they need to hurry up with is releasing it outside of the us given they didnt tell us that you get fcked over if you are outside of the us until after the us had it

[cunning musk]

Primal is probably one of my favorite animated shows, with samurai Jack (made by same guy) being one of my top 5 favorite shows

[surreal pier]

US and Canada have it, and you can watch on twitch/yt

[cunning musk]

I doubt it will be as good as primal is but I’m hoping for the best

[scenic frost]

Simpsons just made a episode done in the style of primal, should check it out

[cunning musk]

Oo I will take any primal content rn lol

[scenic frost]

Aha yeah true

[warped plaza]

I haven’t seen primal yet. Sounds like I’m missing out

[scenic frost]

You are, 10/10 show

Art style is amazing

[surreal pier]

Bring it back to TAS yall XD

[cunning musk]

It’s incredible, I won’t say anything more but I 100% recommend. Primal by Gennedy Tarkovsky

[cunning musk]

My bad when the subject gets moved to primal I gotta talk bout it lol

[warped plaza]

I’ll have to look it up.

[scenic frost]

Lol my bad, I hear primal and I gotz to simp, these be the rules

[surreal pier]

Scooch into general or dms if you wanna go full nerd out on other stuff 😆

[scenic frost]

😂

[warped plaza]

😂

[scenic frost]

Rockwell not being a old man, did we all just make that up in our head cannon ?

[warped plaza]

Pretty much lol

[scenic frost]

Lol thought so

[daring quiver]

@surreal pier i misunderstood u earlier. i am sorry

im dumb haha

[surreal pier]

Don't worry about it XD

[drifting rock]

I thought he was an older man from the notes, than when they added David Tennants voice to the character that confirmed it for me. They even call him "monstrous old man" on the wiki lol

[daring quiver]

well he said hes from the 1800s or something, so in a way he is old to helena

or am i reading to deep into that? haha

[delicate lotus]

finally it’s coming

[warped plaza]

Valid lol

[placid lynx]

how to watch outside of usa?

the series is not available on my region

[tulip patrol]

wait :/

[dense blaze]

Just USA and Canada currently

[warped plaza]

You could try using a VPN

[split maple]

Im pretty sure it said April 19th for other countries

[dense blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

[warped plaza]

My sister uses NORD VPN it lets her change her country somehow

[humble gyro]

I guess this channel doesn't need to be in the "future" category anymore

[surreal pier]

Maybe

There are future episodes though

[daring quiver]

it was the only thing i could think of atm lol

[warped plaza]

I mean you’re not wrong though. lol being from the 1800s definitely makes him an old man.

[daring quiver]

haha right?! im not sure about game lore but from the show thats what was said so a good guess then? haha

[wet sun]

I wonder why

[warped plaza]

Honestly when it comes to game lore I’m kinda at a loss lol that’s a lot going on there

[high solar]

.

[hollow pond]

there have already been queer people in ARK

[surreal pier]

Doot

[warped plaza]

Yeah that had me a bit confused. I don’t remember Helena being a lesbian in any of the notes.

[hollow pond]

[surreal pier]

There have always been LGBTQ+ in Ark.

[potent tartan]

What the fuck why are the lystros so big

[true creek]

Cartoon

[surreal pier]

why not

[west cedar]

Snail games says hi at the end of credits…

[hollow pond]

they ate their vegetables or something idk 💀

[surreal pier]

She's always been to the creators.

[potent tartan]

I fear them now

[surreal pier]

LOL

[hollow pond]

but also if you were queer why would you talk about it in the explorer notes instead of like..the fact that you almost died to a rex or something

[true creek]

I wonder how many people stopped watching after they kissed

[hollow pond]

no idea

[surreal pier]

#ark-animated-series message

[true creek]

because it definitely did happen

[warped plaza]

Ah okay 🙂 thank you for clearing that up. I just didn’t remember any of her notes saying anything about her being into women that’s all.

[surreal pier]

The link I just shared ^

[warped plaza]

Just seen that 🙂 makes so much more sense now

[worn pike]

is very happy today

[surreal pier]

[scenic frost]

[warped plaza]

[ripe flume]

just got done . . . my god . . .

[placid lynx]

i tried paramount + with vpn and tried to pay for subscription it cut my pay but i havnt got subscription

[ripe flume]
