that would be...
Anime isn't canon 
are you sure about that
Yes actually being one of the top ark theorists, it would break all previous set lore
The characters look different, Helena's FAMILY is there, Mei has a brother in the anime, etc
I think it’s to add backstory to the characters
Like how their loved ones shaped them
We have all the backstory we need. It's all in the notes
Backstory for the characters
Exactly
The explorer notes don’t cover everything
Helenas mother could be Helena remembering her past
Not everything, but you can't just add characters who were never there into the story, that would break the lore. So we could break the lore, or just say it follows a different canon
Well
Listen, I’m not saying it’s not going to be part of the lore, I’m saying it could be that these other side characters could be from the peoples past, the explorer nots don’t cover everything just mostly what they experience
This is a post from THE original ark theorist
Theorist
Looking at the list of characters, I feel like the animated series is going to be more of a spinoff rather than an a direct adaptation of the explorer notes. Some differences I found:
Instead of being a weakling who also flinched at the mere thought of hurting another person, Helena is now competent enough to kill random people using an ARROW. Like, not even using the bow, just using the arrow.
Instead of becoming evil like what we see in the game, Rockwell now appears to just be evil from the beginning, and now also appears to be fascinated with the occult for some reason?
Close family members of the survivors also appear.
Santiago now also seems to appear on the island along with everyone else, and like I said earlier, appears to have his name, time period, and appearance changed.
A ridiculously long list of side characters who, along with the family members of the survivors, are never actually mentioned in the game.
That being said, let's assume that there are three different ARK universes where the story and/or characters and/or universe itself are slightly different:
ARK Universe: The ARK story that we all know and love. Classic main characters whose motivations are perfectly explained and their respective character development throughout the story feels built-up and organic. There's also a few side characters who actually feel just as built-up as the main cast. The reason I bring all that up is in case the animated series...doesn't form it's story like that. I dunno, I just feel like it would be difficult for them to make every character feel like an actual character if there's so many other characters. Then again...we may just have to wait and see.
ARK Mobile Universe: The nature of element and the obelisks is slightly different, as element now has several more forms and uses, while the obelisks now give people free god weapons when they get artifacts. There's also cloning chambers, a distant relative of Rockwell's, and probably a bunch of other things I'm missing.
ARK Animated Universe: Features a whole host of extra side characters, some of whom are close relatives of the survivors. Some of the survivors also feel a bit different from their main game counterparts in terms of personality. Paras are also now a lot more loyal than they are in game, apparently.
Maybe, but we will never know until 2022
Yeah, I feel like we should just leave it at that
But for now, the top theorist gang is treating it as a separate canon.
I do recommend reading that though, it has some really good stuff in there 
Alright then, whatever

stealing wyvern eggs animated lol
still feel as though rockwell is gonna just. age as he goes ape shit

I mean, they kinda lost the “surprise betrayal” of Rockwell turning evil. It’s too expected at this point to make it a twist.
@velvet shadow This is Wildcard, they own ARK and it's lore. If they say it's canon, then it's canon.
This could also be a Sonic movie type of thing where it's for both Fans and New people. So the plot twist would be shocking for new viewers, while we would know everything as fans
I’m personally just excited to see Rockwell as a character, he is by far my favourite person in the game and the fact that David tennant is playing him just makes the character even greater

I promise I’m not a psychopath or a sociopath I just really like David tennant and science so David tennant playing a scientist is like nerd heaven for me
You wouldn't be a sociopath for liking a bad guy.
Hell, that's why Joker was a big hit movie.
I want to know are they going to show the broodmother and the overseer fights, I know we will see the Megapithecus because Helena fought against it with Mei-Yin, and I'm sure we will most likely see the Dragon (I hope) since it was in the launch trailer for the game. But the brood and overseer were only spoken about (Dragon as well).
Also will we move on and follow Helena to the other maps like in the notes
Nobody knows yet.
I'm pretty sure it was either 2 seasons 12 episodes each, or 2 seasons 12 episodes total.
I hope 2 seasons with 12 episodes each
Me too.
The more the better.
I hope they were talking about for each island 👀
Oop forgot to turn off ping- sorry!
Where can i see the serie
No one knows yet
I see someone dutch here.
i hope we see rockwell in a swim suit
Arknime
Yea bruh ark anime op
@velvet shadow Retcons and rewrites are not uncommon in franchises that then expand further. Guild Wars 2 has changed its canon repeatedly and plays fast and loose with its lore.
It would not be surprising to make adjustments and readjust for the animated series as well.
prime example, Extinction, from what I've seen, was originally intended to be the end of the storyline, but then they adjusted course and began Genesis afterwards.
As creators and the producers of the IP, Wildcard is more than within their rights to change canon as they see fit for their interpretation of the storyline.
I mean I guess
But the smoking gun, @nimble snow, in my opinion is this:
They released Gen Chronicles 2 around the time of the big ARK news.
And in those chronicles? The game characters keep their old designs. You'd think that they'd use the new ones right?
No. Rockwell stays with his magnificent beard, Mei... Well Mei is Mei. She looks the same in the game and in the anime, while Nerva...
Nerva keeps the new design yes, but not only is he a miniscule character lore-wise, but the new design is VERY similar to his old one. In fact, he only has a few notes featuring his face, so I'll let this one slide.
Again,

Holy moly
@velvet shadow
Previous points about retcons aside, gotta keep in mind the animated series, while aimed at providing an animated view into the storyline that wer'e familiar with, also has to be widely appealing.
AKA they're catering to more than just a hyperspecific audience.
There are several bits and bobs I could bring up in this regard from a PR perspective, but one from an artistic one is that Rockwell's animated design also resembles David Tanner to a degree, as he's the voice actor and thus would be a familiar face for audiences, if only vaguely. This is an animation trick used to make things more relatable.
With time, its not unusual to redo, or recreate various features to better fit a narrative moving forward. By now, with GenOne especially and GenTwo, we're more than familiar with Rockwell as a villain. Even if you were a player that never read the lore, Genesis Part One especially somewhat forced you into at least getting a brief rundown.
The ARK Animated series, imo just seeks to bring a sort of uniformity to the entire thing.
Changes would be necessary for the sake of telling a good animated story which likely wasnt in mind at the time of the notes inception
True. But as a dedicated theorist, I can tell you that this lore is FRAGILE AF. If there's a few inconsistencies, that's fine, but serious stuff. No no.
We see the growth organically in the game, especially if you read all the notes at once, because it was a much more 'over time' object introduced after the game even began.
I'm not sure what 'theorizing' has to do with what more than likely happened lol. Writers and artists took a different direction. It happens.
It's called ARK, the Animated Series and has been introduced as the animated equivalent to the ARK story. Not a spinoff.
And just because it's meant to entertain a wider audience doesn't mean that it follows the same canon. The FNaF books? Different canon, but can be used to fill in holes in the main franchise. Same with the planned movie. But we won't know until it releases, and, due to lore contradictions, us theorists are treating it as a separate canon
Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

XD
even the big IPs with dedicated boards that monitor canon consistency make changes and mistakes lol. I think ARK is doing fine and adjustments for the animated series are sensible.
- Sensible maybe, fragile definitely.
- There is a spoon.
Keven conroy dinosaur noises???
Will this be a series to watch or one to play like the minecraft story mode.. ?
a serie to watch ofc.
Oh dude, they totally missed an opportunity there
When?
Nah
I would pass on choose your own adventure
i feel like we're gonna be somewhat forced to sympathize with nerva. even tho hes actually like a pos in the lore
Nerva is a chad
nerva's story can be summed up as "POS that was murdered pretty quickly"
hi
Nerva's going to end being a character that just wanted to be stability to the Island instead of a Conqueror who believes his Gods sent him the Ark to rule.
still a chad
daddy like
I can’t wAit for this to come out I thinks it’s going to be really good
i heard 14
i mean true
Ark is pog

Ok Nerva
Nerva had goals including: fucking dying
He was still really good at it, goal or not
rockwell in TAS looks like a monky man
yes lmao
Yes. Nerva is underappreciated.
nerva died for the good of humanity
me @ nerva 🤼♂️
i will slamdunk Nerva into the nearest trashcan where he belongs
n*rva (derogatory)
Glad he became roasted chicken on Aberration's surface

Wait what will ark animated be published on?
We don’t know yet @west cedar

Weebs are superior to all other derogatory social groups

these are terrible takes
nerva was a coward who deserved to die via angry lesbian, it was for the good of humanity
my man wanted to dominate via war, mf was out here like "peace was never an option"
Nerva is a pogless man
yeah
Also do we know if there's any more of those character sheets out yet?
I think it should either show up in Twitter feed or this chat
niiice 😌💅
nerva is daddy
rockwell is gilf
Nerva is big daddy
as a rockwell simp, rockwell is a gross old gremlin man
That's a nice way to put it
rockwell is a disgusting cretin of a man and i will snap him in half
Everyone's favorite man-tuso
I'm calling rockwell grandpa piss
Grandpa piss tentacles
you guys must not appreciate a fledgling god. Rockwell will smite you all
Purple david tennant gets curbstomped
By a bunch of feathered komodo dragons

He'll likely get curbstomped again by who knows what in this next dlc
me at rockwell the disgusting old gremlin man who injected soup 
He'll get curbstomped by tentacle hentai
he is the hentai!
He injected himself with Gatorade
I mean tigers
you cant spank him he is all powerful!

that is a PUNCH actually
I will perform a lobotomy on him, with a fine pike
Oh yeah? How did he get killed by a bunch of lizards
me at sir edmund rockwell the moment i get my hands on him
he hasnt been killed. he only grows in strength
Rockwell manlet
I wonder if the flesh zone is made out of Rockwell simps
rockwell simps xD
I wonder if they're gonna base the episodes off of the survivor notes
somewhat
@vale spindle This is for discussion about the ARK Animated series, head over to #role-assignment and use the recruitment channels.
sorry
do we have a time window for release?
or an idea where we can watch the show once it releases
I believe all we know is 2022. 🙂
ah thank you
hope they'll make a new skin to custom ur parasaur soon that would be cool
Would be interesting though I don't use the current skin due to the visual glitch with the raptor's eyes
Chad Nerva
also can rockwell get a beard instead of sideburns, at least after a little while cuz the sideburns

Nerva is the biggest chad no doubt
looking forward to Nerva's men building a giant bathhouse at the Hidden Lake and being a peaceful, generous tribe promoting free love and cleanliness
I hope we get inside shots of said bathhouse

Is it just me or does the Animated series look like legend of Korra
Your right it kinda does
Victoria deadass our here with the “women want me fish fear me” hat
This where dweebs are?
*weebs
Dweebs*
Weebs*

*weeds
So I was right about the flash backs
When’s the series out and where will we be able to watch it?
2022
Yeah
Yeah
ye it does a bit
So this is basically ark rewritten 🤔
In some way, yes


ARK SURVIVAL EVOLVED EPISODE 1: CAVE DEFENCE
Left click on giga for 20 hours
The entire episode is just watching a Giga biting looped, and then seeing raptors and T. rexes dying
and the manas and velos
lol, thats true
mana fights would be the coolest thing i would see in a animated series (if there will be)
ARK: Survival Evolved/Episode II/Mesh Monke
"A deformed man named Bob wreaks havoc on The Island using a gigantopithecus under the ground!"
Ark animated=anime
Where I can see the first chapter?
At some point in 2022

Hey, @terse plume, we hate to bug you, but we'd like to know something. 🙃
Is there any word on the canonicity of the Animated Series?
Or would you rather not say? 😦
Helena Walker is Canonically a Lesbian 😀
or bi or pan or demi
all are possible indeed
lesbauisahn heelaenae wal;eklr
What matters is that she has a canon wife and isn't straight boy bait anymore.
wimen
you know that straight dudes are gunna fetishize her anyway and make straight R34
And ? What matters is canon frowns upon it.
The door is right there, straight boys 🚪
Haha that's what I thought when they announced an ark anime.
Nothing can escape R34

Rockwell rule 34.
Tentacles.
Lots of tentacles.

set bluestone off like a feral animal at the inappropriate people 👀
Helena = Xena.

When will they release it?
2022
pls no helena shes trash
please reveal the secret of ark dinosaur mating in the next episode
lol
hey you are te guy from pterafiers server
Shhhhh
I am a ghost
no one has to know
We don't want animation. Make a frickin movie Wildcard. Itll make the BO
I feel like a series is good for character development then a movie could come
I wonder if the show will follow the explorer notes
animation is a better choice for a franchise like ark
for real better animation then whatever the hell happened to most other game franchise xD
I'm lookin at you Monster Hunter >>;;;
What? add beloved game franchishe then add cool american soldiers which are super cool and have epic guns which kill everything, its exactly what you wanted? isnt it?
sobs
monster hunter movie looks like an utter disaster. wildcard PLEASE never make a live action ark movie ffs
If ya go the live action route it better actually be faithful and not 'faithful' like the MH movie turned out to be qq
but we needed the monster hunter movie to explain the existence of lbg and hbg or something
What I need is the ark animated series on my computer screen right now
i still pray that the rockwell design will actually eventually look like an old man. he looks younger than freaking Nerva
And have one of the American soldiers close the eye he's looking down the scope with
Who’s lookin down me?
You can fix Rockwell’s design with a simple color change to his hair

Instead of a brown make it a grayer shade or at least kinda mix the 2
Otherwise all the designs for the characters are just about how i envisioned them



She's pretty smart ngl

whens the series come out?
Next year
ok
ye cant wait
It seems like it will be interesting. I hope that they keep enough of the original lore that it seems feasible, but obviously they added a few characters.
at least one and I would assume others of the celebrity cast seem to be for flashbacks to their lives before the ARK
Most of them seemed to be about their culture’s beliefs about the afterlife.
and then there's Bob

God I love Karl Urban
Hi yall
I hope it covers sorched abb and extinction
season 1: The island
Different seasons for different maps would be really cool
ark anime would be so cool
ark switch trailer
it was Bad
we don't talk about ark on the switch around here
👍
Ark park
forgot that existed tbh
Ark park is actually canon
Prove it
I'll dm you.
Lies! Deceptions
Nope.
ark park would take place b4 the arks were created i would think
if its even canon, at this point i feel like they forgot abt it
I highly doubt they'd ever consider ark park as canon
i dont know, if u dont mind explaining cuz im pretty limited on the lore
technically yes it is canon, and a grad student named Skye on aberration had a dream about it, then figured that waking up on ab was just another dream, so she walked off a cliff to "wake up"...
yooo what thats so cool. i mean sad but cool at the same time
The abberation grad students?
Yes
Sometime in 2022, presumably around ark 2's release
nah i think july-october becuase ark 2 is comin out in march im pretty sure
2022
you are thinking about gen 2 rn, thats what comes out in march
not gen 2 the animated series becuase ark 2 is coming out march 2022 and animated series late 2022
becuase thats also how they drop maps
We don't have a date for Ark 2 yet, all they said was they want to release it in 2022 if possible
What do you mean mr ireland @violet citrus btw I do NOT like IBP
I do think that the wait between Gen 2 and ARK 2 will be around the same as Gen 1 to Gen 2, so march is my prediction also
The animated series I predict will come a bit after ARK 2, because I think that ARK 2 will have some significance in the setting of the animated series
I have a theory that the Narrator for TAS is like a village elder in the ARK 2 survivor tribe telling a story
i really hope theres at-least one episode dedicated to a bunch of bobs running around stabbing each other with spears
opening intro
lol
followed with the earrape intro song
the camera gets clubbed and the music plays
I wouldn’t get too hyped about 2022 for ark 2, it’s probably gonna get delayed to at least 2023 I’d believe..
@charred wadi it is
They say dates and they usually get delayed, look at most dlcs
Ik
I hope it comes out, polished, servers are 100% uptime no updates needed, the QA team test everything, no meshing or duping..but we will see when it releases, also this is the ark animated chat...oops
lol
The current ARK game literally first came out in June of 2015 of PC. 

Well, to be fair, they’ve already been working on it for years
I don’t care ark 2 is gonna be a banger
Ark Animated is comming out 2022, right?

Now this is some positive vibes. 
Right
Meh want to see animated ark :I
Please make rockwell character look like the explorer notes one, hes ny favorite character
they already made his design, they aren't going to change it

What streaming service will this be on?
we don't know yet
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13629530/ this is interesting to see, but doesn't answer your question
K
does anyone know who voices all the people who talked in the trailer? i swear i recognize one of the voices from somewhere..
the voice at 0:58 in the official trailer
Gerard butler
hola
vin diesel?
wait no if we are talking about ark characters that is rockwell
i noticed Michelle Yeoh watching the animated trailer
Yeah I just had to look at the description..... It’s David Tennant who plays Rockwell
Thanks for responding though!
np
I ldidnt even know who David Tennant was, I didnt even know he existed XD

well after i saw gen 2 trailer
guess you've never watched Dr Who
Nope
Thou has sinned
XD
ik
some guy tried to shoot me in ark just because of that
why are the hands on the yutyrannus pronated ingame but not in the animated series design
okay yeah no i'm not vibing with the yuty. why he so wide
We have pictures of the animated series yuty? 👀 Know where I'd find it?
Gimme animated yuty 
How to watch ark animated films ?
Animated series releases sometime in 2022
@lavish snow thanks
Np
oh
Yo @grand basin
ello
Are you able to pin a quote from Dollie?
"Hmmm I wouldn't say canon by the literal definition. We've been diligent in keeping the main themes and staying quite true to the main characters you're familiar with. We have made some changes though, for the sake of more exciting story telling in a different medium. I think ARK players who are familiar with the lore will be okay with the changes"
It is of course referring to the Animated Series.

There we go! That should clear up any questions about canonicity. Many thanks!!
i just hope that rockwell becomes Old because i really do not like his new design
yeah it won't be completely canon
Animated yuty seems to have a few back problems ngl
animated yuty looks like a sausage and rockwell looks like david tennant's lesser brother, Snavid Dennant
feelsbadman
nerva looks older than rockwell 
Nerva looks epic, but a bit older than I imagined.
nerva should look muuuch younger
and rockwell should look older. the fact that he doesn't even have a beard baffles me
plus the saddle for Nerva's yuty isn't even really Roman-inspired, it just looks like... edgy mess
Wait did they show more animated creatures off
They showed the yutyrannus, I'll DM it
yeah for some reason that didn't show
I have not seen the yuty either
That's not even a yuty. It's just an allo with hair, not even feathers.
It would have been epic if it was Roman themed
yeah the feathers don't even look like feathers
If the cloth was more scarlet rather than orange, it would have given it a more Imperial atmosphere.
It also kinda looks more like a megalo rather than a yuty
It depends as she said on what's your definition of Canon is.
Look at the pinned messages
..... She literally said it's not completely canon.
"I wouldn't say canon by the literal definition" I'd say this more means it depends on what you think of it when it comes out.
It's going to ovewrite some of the older stuff, sure. But it's probably gonna be leave enough room for the viewers to decide whether it's canon or not to 'them'
And i do believe 'some' of it will be canon. Since we can literally see Helena petting her Parasaur in the wall drawings in the ARK 2 trailer.
@wet light
"Hmmm I wouldn't say canon by the literal definition."
So it's decidedly NOT 100% canon. While it uses the main frame of ARK and the story we know to, ya know, make an interesting story, it's gonna rewrite some old lore. So no, it's not canon, but the ARK canon is going to be a heavy presence in the story- and I'm banking on the two referencing eachother every now and again for funzies, especially in ARK II and maybe a bit of Gen II.
Or possibly to respect Marcs storyline. It'll be canon to ARK 2, but leave it in the air whether it's canon or not to ARK 1.
Oh ho ho, hold on a second.
Maybe yeah
Did you just turn into fucking Santa?
So pretty much the canon story but just a little spiced up as far as we know
It's going to overwrite what we know.
But probably in the air for the viewers to decide if it's canon or not.
From what it seems like, it's canon for ARK 2. So that's good enough for me.
Yeah same
ARK II is following directly after ARK I. If the Animated Series isn't canon in ARK I, by definition, it can't be canon in ARK II. But again, I bet some events will leak over into ARK II to boost sales, make fun references, etc. Though I doubt the references would have any significant lore importance, like how Helena mentions Ice Wyverns in her Managarmr note on EX. A fun nod that definitely bends the canonicity out of wack, but also barely matters because it's literally a Dossier.
Get what I'm saying here? :
What the Hell
Oh i get what you're saying.
But this is 'Wildcards' game, not Marcs. So if 'they' decide the animated series is canon to ARK 2, but not for ARK 1 then they say so.
It's not the first time this has happened.
Like for example. Left 4 Dead 2 has the Sacrifice DLC and it re-adds the Left 4 Dead 1 campaign. Although it's not Canon.
The only thing canon from it was the Sacrifice Chapter.
And i still feel like it's odd that they have Helena on the wall painting petting the Parasaur. Something that was never mentioned in the notes.
Yeah, I do understand what you're saying, but surprisingly I've come to find that Wildcard is actually somewhat fragile with their lore- as in, I doubt they'd make the AS canon to AII and not canon to AI. They seem pretty diligent with stuff like that. Another big thing that people don't understand about WC is that, yes, they release DLC to make money, but also to expand the story. People who don't get that are the same people who think ARK is a game about Dinosaurs.
Again, I just see that as a fun nod to the Animated Series that shouldn't shift lore in a big way
That's true. But i guess we'll see evidently when ARK 2 comes out.
I'm just saying, if someone like Santiago or whoever states in-game that "Oh yeah. Helena rode a Parasaur"
Imma just state that the Animated Series is canon to ARK 2. 👀
And as freaking dumb as it sounds we don't know whether or not the ARK II cinematic trailer is even canon.
Fair point. But a lot of cinematic trailers are.
Come on the ladies are freaking biologist lol, I bet she's tamed at least a dozen parasaurs on the island it just didn't mention them.
After all there was no reason to.
But why wouldn't she mention them if it seems like she has a emotional connection with them?
Or atleast i would mention them in my notes. 🤷
... You have a point. But this trail always leads back to one thing: we will have to see in 2022 lol
@terse plume Hey Jat. Wanna join in on this and give us your thoughts?
True but us theorists have come to find that a percentage of what they show in those trailers is just for that. Show. Cool stuff. As in, buy our DLC it's freaking awesome!
Fair point. But if they're taking a note from games like World of Warcraft with their cool trailers. Then they're probably canon.
@terse plume, come on bro, don't leave us hanging 😅
Ah, but this isn't WoW 
Maybe if we chant enough, then we'll get his attention?
Bad idea
Well this isn't Fast and the Furious. 
Maybe Dodomail?
dont tag spam plz
Got em
Bah! I only tagged four times in a ten minute timeframe. That's one tag every 135 seconds if I am correct.

you know you dont wanna argue with me right? :P just say yes sir so i can get on with my day 😂
XD
Yes sir...
copy paste of my response to Dollie's statement in the canonicity of TAS
"I wouldn't say canon by the literal definition" She says this but doesn't outright state it's not. I think what this means is that events that happen in the ARK Animated universe do not affect the events of the ARK game universe. There are a bunch of characters we've already heard of that were never in the explorer notes. ARK Animated will be following the story but will never change the way the ARK game universe flows. TLDR: Things that happened in the games will happen in the series, but things that happened in the series never happened in the games or will never had any affect on things that happen in the games.
Boom. Exactly what I mean.
TAS follows familiar canon, but makes new canon, therefore the added canon is noncanon to the games, but may still get a fun nod or two.
What will ark animated be streaming on?
Has yet to be announced
all i haerd was cannon cannon cannon
Welp. Rest easy knowing that's not what I said.
fair
😂
I think it’s going to be a dlc where you pay then you watch it on ark
n ait gonna be on fu namation
@onyx saffron are you ok? Lol
Engrish 1 00
me who hasn't started to or is watching sat in this chat
Its out??
2022 @hallow swan @prime maple
Ok
Thx
They said 2022 so I’ll expect it in 2024

mines smallest
bak is packing 👀
Did yall hear the ark show is gonna be non canon?
look at the pin
Don't compare sizes, that's not nice.
Technically non-canon yes, but it will share a ton of similar elements. I was the one pushing for that answer. 🙂
i'll tell Meeps you dont like her picture 'its not nice'
mines smaller than yours :P

Hmm

Hi

Has there been any updates on ark animated since trailer
There's been a couple little snippets on twitter
hey

When your in full flak with a raptor and get taken down by some girl with a bow and a parasaur
was a crafting skill character lay off
She had a smaller hitbox
Metal arrow straight to the eye going into the brain. Yeah. It's dead. 
Anything that goes through the brain will die, so yes I can see why that raptor died in one hit
It also depends on where the arrow or bullet ends up
If it ends up going into the brain from the eye then yes it'll die

Pretty much. I can see resistance if it's say, shot in the forehead for bigger creatures, but we're talking about a raptor here. In the eye. With a metal arrow. To the brain. 😂
aniplex
Asc bow


im dumb
Ok
Raptors take 3x headshot damage in game anyways, so a decent bow can one shot lower levels pretty easily.
OR maybe it had a glitch where it didn’t show how bloody it was
prim flak
Enemy is actually wearing cloth but with a skin to make it look like flak
Ah
Cuz that’s what it looks like
What a noob
will we get anymore animated skins for ark the raptor one is the greatest skin ive ever seen
like maybe the parasaur?
I’d love a yuty animated skin, or a dodo animated skin
That’d be awesome!
Omg that would. Be amazing
Hey. Do y'all think that The Ark animated series is going to be like story ark? Like season one is The island, Season two is scorched, Season 3 is aberration, and season four is ex?
Certain it is
And I hope they expand it with Rockwell or Mei Yin
probably
like when they explain how they got into their situations it will have flashbacks to the actual events
Decking flack
yeah I do, lol
Bound to be 
That is if we get more seasons
People always talking about how the guy lost with flak armour and a raptor and im just like how tf yall know its wasnt like a asc primtive bow?
Or maybe they tryna be accurate to real life
Cuz you try to fight after getting a arrow in your skull
primitive bow instead of compound
The flak was just a cloth skin
Ok so is it just me or does the animated tek armor look like max steel?
Tek gear has been revealed?, I haven't checked in a while
Not that I know of.
Ah, ok
Yeah, I looked it up, and I don't see anything. 😂
I think they thought the fan art in the crunch was the reveal lol
Asc primitive bows exist they are asc version of prim bows
ark 234 animated version
Yeah i call the normal bows primitive bow because they are primitive
Primitive is a rarity, the bow is a bow
i just got raided smh how u gonna raid someone with hide like lol
Looks like we got pretty off topic in this channel. This is in relation to the Ark Animated series only. Any further off topic convents will be removed.
Animated reaper queen would be awesome
Or animated king titan
animated player skins :P
I don’t think they’ll go that far with the series
Mostly because they’re really isn’t an underlying backstory with genesis
I think the show will probably go till Rockwell finds the genesis ship
{Maniacal Laughter}
There is a ton of lore in Genesis. Also hi Flames.
At least to the extent of normal ark
No big new characters and what not
It’s your story in genesis
Big Genesis Points-
Rockwell's return
Mei's return
Helena's return
Santiago's return
Rockwell's motive
Etc
I mostly see genesis as the bridge piont between 1 and 2
Also then again I haven’t delved into genesis as much I have with the original ark story
lol you monkeys
And yes, we have moved on from following the other Survivors somewhat. While we are making our own adventures, we are still technically in the footsteps of not only Rockwell and Santiago, but also possibly Mei and Diana.
And yes, Part I was essentially a bridge between the two DLC. And as a "Hahaha! Plot twist! We have two DLCs to finish ARK I!"
If I'm being honest, Genesis Part I wasn't that great. Felt more like a playground than an actual survival experience.
That’s because it was a playground
A simulator of a multiple arks and experiments seeing how the backlog of ark creatures adapt to them
Not exactly...
Mostly as a time killer for the eventual arrival of their destination originally before Rockwell highjacked everything
My bet is that the genesis simulation was just a test to keep the inhabitants that are in The pods occupied but if they beat it then congrats welcome to paradise
Until Rockwell....
Not really a playground, more of a constant stressful testing.
Just to make sure they're 100% ready for the new planet.
Indeed
A Simulation to prepare Survivors for whatever planet the Colony Ship is landing at in ARK II. They didn't really have a way to know what the planet was gonna be like, so they simulated a bunch of uber-harsh alien environments/creatures to make sure the Survivors were prepared for almost anything. And before it was launched, and the world went bad, it was actually used for educational purposes aswell. But then Edmund came along and used it to his advantage, corrupting the Survivors within for his own army, deleting unwanted Survivors and tormenting us throughout our adventure with HLN-A. Beyond the Genesis Simulation, he is doing a similar thing to the Genesis-Ship, spreading, creating, corrupting, etc all for his own gain.
In the end, his goal is to corrupt the cosmos. To spread his influence to the far reaches of the galaxy.
I am in love with the animated Yuty, and the fact that Nerva of all people is gonna have it is so fitting
I just wanna watch em fight the dragon boss lmao
Gonne be sick
But yea the yuty really suits nerva
Its and his ability to instill fear and inspire is unparalleled
oooh
who knows on the forum how long it takes to wait for a response from the admin?
1-14 days I think
Thk:)
I wonder if the tlc versions of creatures will be in the show. Like the spino the rex argent mammoth, stego, trike and many more.
Especially the mammoth cuz the new tlc mammoth is my new fav thing that came out the tlc 3
I don't think they will, since stego appears to be taking it's pre-dlc appearance in the show
you can grab people with the mammoths of the back of some dinos and throw them xD
what you like to know?
Well I hope this show strictly follows lore and really opens up and explains the lore better
Check pinned comment.
Where'd pringwell go
I ate him.
you ate the can?
of pringwells
ok then
I want to see a joke in the series, a can of pringwells XD
in a drop
Lmao they'd never do that
true, but pringwells
Pringwells.
#Pringwellreference
Pringwell reference when
@grand basin, notify Dollie before we start a riot. 
Oh yeah
#Pringwellreference
I swear if I actually get this into TAS imma die
Well then
#Pringwellreference
So when does this series actually come out? When ark 2 does?
yes
#Pringwellreference Yes. Yes you have.
So you call these things "chips" instead of crispity crunchy munchie crackerjack snacker nibbler snap crack n pop westpoolchestershireshire Queen's lovely jubily delights? That's rather bit cringe, innit bruv.
-Rockwell
HLN-A: "Wait Survivor! Don't eat those chips! They're laced with-"
Rockwell: "So you call these things "chips" instead of crispity crunchy munchie crackerjack snacker nibbler snap crack n pop westpoolchestershireshire Queen's lovely jubily delights? That's rather bit cringe, innit bruv."
Survivor: -Intense crunching-
Rockwell: -Wicked laughter-
eh yo don't spoil gen 2 lore
XD
you can spoil it once it is out
Rather cringe bruv. how about you call them crisps from now on old chap
Rockwell be like what even is USA that random place Europe owned for a while
Animated ferox anyone?
Probably wont go up that far.
probably only to exticntion
That's what i'm thinking.
Then again you never know
yah
It actually might go up to genesis because Helena is seen in the gen simulation and she is confirmed in gen 2 so maybe
Wait since in extinction we basically loose touch with her because she goes into that cave with Mei and got healed but never came back doesn’t that mean for the last part of the ark animated for extinction it would have to go to Mei yin
How the raptor get get clapped by a parasaur 💀
More importantly, how to you lose to a beach bob with a bow and a parasaur when you have a fucking pyke, raptor and full flak
Game physics vs realistic physics
I have been wanting a Ark TV series or movie forever so this is actually almost like a dream come tru
Like i said maybe the bow was asc
Not a game.
The hero always wins
Get good
Can they get margot robbi
Maybe the guy in flak is just a PvE player trying out pvp?
all secrets to be revealed
?
This is ark animated. Game physics dont matter.
That's what i stated.
'Game physics vs Realistic physics'
As in, since this is a TV-show, gameplay mechanics wont matter since none of that is 'canon'
Realistic physics dont matter either...

I’m upset

is this a bad time to say hi upset, im bluestone?
dad jokes always are followed by a bad time
Where is ark animated hosted?
its not been announced yet
Hopefully not Netflix
I'm hoping for Crunchyroll.
Maybe I can get my hands on a Japanese version after I watch the English version.
Well im 99% sure that it isnt being made by japan so i doubt its going on there, lol
Shhh........
Just imagine binge watching Dr. Stone and ARK The Animated Series...
Im caught up on the manga want any spoilers
dr ark
I'm on the ||noodles|| episode. No.

i recommend checking through the pins
scheduled to release in 2022
that is what i just said and what the pins say lol
Ark: Stones evolved
Ark: Stoners evolved
Dr. Edmund Stonewell
Think they'll do an episode of a group of people meshing?
a whole episode of taming a giga
An entire episode dedicated to an Alpha Raptor attempting to eat a corpse.
im glad they cant then alphas could easily regen health
Oh they can. And they will.
no, im pretty sure they literally cant hit corpses
unless they recently changed it
they do still aggro tthem if thats what you mean
animated morrellatops being eaten by deathworm anyone?
yes
Part 2 of what?
If your talking about what i think you are i also have a screenshot

















Btw, has there been any other character designs yet? (Besides Mei Yin, Helena, Rockwell and Nerva)
none that we've been made aware of, that i know.
Gladiatrix

https://ark.gamepedia.com/ARK:_The_Animated_Series has the current released art
ARK: The Animated Series is an upcoming animated web series series created by Studio Wildcard and produced by ARK's creators Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak, and director Jay Oliva. The series will consist of fourteen 30-minute episodes that follow survivor Helena Walker after her initial revival on the ARK.
Ah, ok thank you
needs animated floofy yooty
Yes and make it a emoji for this server

y does this exists


Why fix a impossibly hard to fix game when you can make a new one?
You paid for the game. Why not do research on it before hand?
The point is. This is literally their first ever game they made.
And it's still considered a 'indie' game.
This is the ark animated channel guys.
And when i mean 'impossibly hard to fix' i honestly mean it.
It literally would take around 3 straight years of nothing but fixing the game.
No updates, no events, nothing. Cause one minor thing can fuck up this whole process.
Sorry my man.
Dude ark is better broken anyways

Case #7213 @digital token has been muted for 1 hour.
Reason: Posting an unauthorised Discord invite link
Sometimes I wish people like them would just read the rules and not risk it
Agreed...
bUt i hAVe tHiS ONe sErVEr
It has annoyed me since I began using discord just seeing people do that just isn't right, anyways I'm getting off topic
were humans
I thought we where toasts?
nevermind
where banana
I don't know. Where are they?
I’m excited
for 🍌 ?
who isnt exited for bananna

U spitting straight facts there bro

📢



Loser
Corporate slave
well no animation, television show, or even bookfor that matter is needed
Yep because there game is dead and they don’t know how to fix it
idk man it was pretty fun last time Ichecked
and I mean the servers weren't empty
like around half full
bye bye vaush boi
Bootlicker
? bruh you think I worship wildcard? they massacred mobile
(and cost me a save)
but you can't just trash the series without even seeing it
We'll just see, won't we?
They didn't even made Mobile.
who did then?
SnailGames.
Woah i did not know that
Imagine arguing about peoples opinions
This is acceptable
Who thinks the animated series will be on funimation app or something else?
god no, have mercy
Ah
anything but that
free is best
Ye
I guess so, they'll think of something
kinda happy they delayed gen 2
They needed to do that
Best doing that for the last DLC for this chapter of ark
And this is just dumb only like 5 year olds gonna watch this
Mhm. ARK's playerbase is mostly teens and adults. Doubt 5 year olds are gonna watch people slaughter eachother with arrows on a dino island.
well its PEGI 16 here, so less than 16 shouldnt be playing it really 😉
waits for abuse
Ha. Pegi.
T for teen bruv, 13+
pegi 16 in england
In pl too
ever heard of victoria walker
momma won't let her 5 year old child watch a character who likes another of the same sex
also she thinks that if timmy watches helena shank a flak armor guy and kill dinos, he's gonna kill their horses and shank a kid at school with a kukri
yea this is designed for 13+ audience in mind
if a five year old is watching the show, they're probably more mature than you in 2 years
back to actual show. I hope the other walkers are there in flashbacks and stuff only. I mean maybe victoria walker could be in the ARK but like helena's mom? this is a warzone, not a rural town
Where's the hypothetical 5 year old gonna find a kukri
Certainly hope his mommy isn't handing him knives
it'd kill the typical solitary nature of most non-tribal survivors. besides, what are they gonna do when helena gets captured by mr nerva victory through discipline?
snoipers gotta snoipe
feelings? feelings are what a man has when he bludgeons his wife to death
professionals have standards shanks a man to death then pays respects
butcher man has the kukri. if you nice to butcher man he'll let you borrow the kukri to prepare a fish at home, but you could also prepare a kid for the shank
also ark animated better turn into a mecha anime in season 3 or 4
or I'ma box up every explorer note in west zone 2 on official
though I'm pretty sure that ark is a miniseries, so it'll end on the ascension past the island
the island's plot has a very different theme to that of scorched earth, aberration, and extinction, cuz of the fact that nobody knows the truth and instead joins petty tribes
unlike aberration where everyone has tek armor and creates a device for ascension
what is this
a discussion of the ark animated series, and some stuff about the story/lore of ark
why does nerva just look like Karl Urban
why didnt they try and cast karl urban
they managed to get a bunch of a-list actors im sure they could get him
i imagine filming the boys season 3 takes up a lot of his time but he probably has enough time free for voiceover 🥺
they did lol
no
wiki says they cast someone specifically not karl urban
They have karl urban, just not as nerva
what
he'd be perfect for nerva and theyre using him for not nerva
why
Cause bob
hire jerry seinfeld for bob
ez
K you can hire a cast and do it. They made their choices, and though you may not agree with all of them you have to live with them
Will Smith as Rockwell and Jack Black as Nerva.
I could see it lol

Donald Trump for HLN-A
"A small loan of a million Hexagons."
"Probably, I'm new at this too"
what
i can say 'aww, missed opportunity'
The way you said it didnt seem that way
@mortal perch they got Gerard Butler as Nerva. Perfect choice imo. Leonidas from 300.
excellent choice
Gerard Butler is a good actor
How's everyone doing
Good wbu?
I'm going to do a manga series that talks about the survivor's story.
as welcome
I wonder if they would include the dlcs
Because those are major parts in the story
Idk tho
"Our hexagons are the best, we have the best hexagons"
Oh no 😂
"Chalicotherium."
Can I see it when your done
Hi
i seen a serieswhere they pkay the characters in the story in ark.
Made by Neddythe Noodle I'm assuming?
@clever crater good afternoon FM
Any chance the characters in this series will notice a strange power radiating from the obelisks they can feel in their bones?
this is going to be exciting when the ARK: ANIMATED SERIES releases
Hoping Ark the Animated series does well and they make a live action series.
Lets just stick with animated my dude.
Around 98% of Video-Game movies in live-action fail.
I don't want ARK to be one of them.
