ark-2

[past wind]

Same vibe as: “I don’t want to read books, I’ve learned everything I need on Reddit”

[split dove]

☕

Ark community am i right?

[blissful perch]

It looked to me like he simply didn’t know much about ark 2 yet 🤷‍♂️

He qualified his statement in a way that implied a specific scenario that, if you hadn’t read the ark 2 news, you’d think was possible

[split dove]

tbf we've had the steam page for 7 months already, and the description of ''no tek and primarily primitive'' for longer

[blissful perch]

It being out there ≠ everyone has read it

I’m fine with educating folks if they don’t know better and are concerned. Less fine if they come in arguing about stuff they know nothing about ofc 😅

[untold ingot]

What video are we referring to?

[blissful perch]

Existing ark 2 news? Not sure it’s a video or anything

[untold ingot]

Ah

[blissful perch]

Although it seems some folks have conflated the ark 1 in UE5 meme to be a statement that ark 2 is ark 1 in UE5, which imo is a pretty weird logical leap

[past wind]

I will not criticize anyone specifically, but makes no sense to assess things without having any info about it.

[blissful perch]

You can have concerns before learning more about something. It’s how you act in the face of the new knowledge that matters imo

[untold ingot]

I don't usually watch ark2 news videos lol. They all either repeat the steam page like it's new, or they make up wild stories lol

[blissful perch]

I have watched/observed no content beyond the official content, and I sleep very easily

[untold ingot]

Yeah, it makes no sense

[past wind]

Sure, but instead of criticizing it, people should ask about it.

[untold ingot]

The number of wild leaps I have seen so far here that all turned out false is actually hilarious

[blissful perch]

Attitude definitely matters. But imagine someone tells you ingame “ark 2 is coming and it’s just ark 1 again on UE5”. And if that’s the first you heard of ark 2, you don’t really know what’s unknown to you at that stage

I don’t tend to hold folks accountable for that if they just came in and had no idea the news was out there. It’s when they read the news and refuse to believe it or have some other nonsense interpretation that I get a bit judgy

[past wind]

Sure, true. But I would just look for more official info before criticizing it. I’ve seen so much BS here in this channel that I think everybody is just trolling. 🤣

[blissful perch]

Personally I agree lol, but not everyone operates that way as I’m sure you know 😂

[untold ingot]

Ark2 is still in development, and ark1 Ue5 might be a meme, or it might be a thing. But they aren't the same thing

It would be nice if gameplay came out soon though 😭

[blissful perch]

We all want it. I’m no exception. At this point it’s a patience game

[shut iris]

Gaaa

[stray elm]

GAAAA

[blissful perch]

[stray elm]

Get fucked.

[split dove]

GAAAA

[stray elm]

"Respawned again"

[blissful perch]

Imagine not memorizing the maximum number of caps the discord allows

[split dove]

they weren't ready to show it ''just yet'' almost 1 month ago, so sometime soon ish i hope 😅

[untold ingot]

I mean, soon for a business is different than soon for a gamer lol

[past wind]

Not yet TM

[stray elm]

-Me, waiting for more ARK-2 info.
"Something tells me that this'll be the easy part"

[past wind]

Depends on what you call soon… soon/soon-ish ™️

[split dove]

me to the clickbaiters
''It's time to go''

[untold ingot]

It's even likely that they have the trailer already made, and just have to deal with pr stuff and deadlines

[blissful perch]

Soon for a gamer is within 10-15 minutes 😂

[split dove]

easy to remember Vins lines as he only has like 3 in both trailers and the genesis 2 Ark 2 teaser

[stray elm]

-Me, after removing my old 360 friends that haven't got on in 10+ years.
"Goodnight, old friend"

[split dove]

• Me to my old wii wich isn't being supported anymore
  ''Lights out, old friend''

[past wind]

Seriously, it’s relative. I think this whole mess here is because: community toxicity + WCs inability to deal with it.

[stray elm]

NOO!!
That was the quite!
I forgor the quite!

[past wind]

I will say it again, this last meme + poll to add new dinos is a really bad move if they don’t have anything more to share about other community’s concerns

[blissful perch]

The community poll timing is really weird. It’s confirmed for ark 1 right?

[past wind]

No… That’s part of this PR mess

Out of nowhere they throw those things but don’t give any further details

You can read it’s for Ark 1, because they say “current Ark meta”, but that’s it

[blissful perch]

Can’t say I have a good argument for the timing of that one. The meme I stand by as a funny acceptable move, but I’m pretty shaky about the creature poll timing

[past wind]

But again, wasn’t Carchar supposed to be the last creature? Why this change now? Ark 2 will be affected? The series?

[blissful perch]

Charchar coming when it did made sense since it was part of the “Fjordur” batch. But I agree the timing is really weird

I wonder if this creature is going to be in ark 1 and 2 as a bridge community creature

[stray elm]

....slime-mold......

[past wind]

I just think they could keep it for themselves until they could share more.

[blissful perch]

I love your energy and creativity on the idea, but I’m team “slime mold as resource” rather than as a creature

[stray elm]

What energy?
I lost all hope for it winning days ago.

[blissful perch]

Although if it’s a sign of ark 1 development not halting in 2023 but simply being at a slow pace maybe there’s not much to say

[blissful perch]

You went and made a submission in the first place, and that’s not a small thing 🙂

[past wind]

But the problem is raises concerns about Ark 2 and the series, at least from my point of view. I mean, they’ve said they would focus on Ark 2, but for some reason they’ve changed that.

[bold juniper]

Well not the animated series

[blissful perch]

I don’t see a single creature as a change from that mentality Charlie

[stray elm]

It's pretty small to click and type a few buttons.
People sadly don't want it, so they wont have it.
They'd rather have a generic fucking mammal over the limitless potential of a slime-based organism. But hey, I'm just one guy, so who am I to know what is what. 🤷

[past wind]

If they are not ready to share more, doesn’t make sense to be post things that would raise more doubts, IMO

[bold juniper]

They said it would have to be a real creature

[stray elm]

And yet, Wildcard directly told the admins to leave it up.

[blissful perch]

It’s possible that the development effort already allocated to ark 1 for continued bug fixes will simply be taking on a new creature as a side project. It’s really hard to say it’s a red flag. But the timing is weird

[bold juniper]

What I’m saying biomes gonna do the slime creature because the new submissions have to be real extinct creatures

[stray elm]

It 'IS' real!

[past wind]

That’s what I hope, but they could have stated just that when announcing the new creatures contest. It would have avoided lots of drama. 🤣

[stray elm]

Slime-Mold is a collection of amoeba's that've existed longer then the fucking dinosaurs!
How's that not a fucking 'real extinct creature?'

[split dove]

yh like the did with TSoTF

[past wind]

Exactly

[bold juniper]

Bro your the only one who wants a bunch of amebos

[past wind]

We all knew since the announcement SOTF would be a side project that wouldn’t affect the main projects

[bold juniper]

There are cooler things then amebos

[stray elm]

It almost got 200 fucking votes. 💀
I don't think I'm the 'only' goddamn one.

[blissful perch]

Bootleg is correct that slime molds are real and would represent an underrepresented branch of the tree of life

[stray elm]

There's cooler things then generic mammals. 🤷

[blissful perch]

I just think it’s a really cool resource rather than a tamable creature 😅

[bold juniper]

A fungi would be better

[split dove]

with recycled abilities and wish version ideas

[past wind]

If they can produce radioactive energy, I’m in

[stray elm]

You'd rather have a stationary lifeform, then something that can actually move?

[past wind]

I want electricity on Ark 2

[bold juniper]

I’d honestly prefer a ocean creature that actually did something unique

[bold juniper]

An amebo colony would move hella slow

[blissful perch]

Slime molds move reasonably quickly all things considered. They’re pretty wild

[stray elm]

This is ARK, a fictional world.
They can make it move faster if they wanted it to.
I don't think a fucking 'Amargasarus can shoot fire spikes'

[bold juniper]

Honestly anything around Medevil ages would be cool, perhaps ending it at current times after dlcs

[blissful perch]

That being said, I wish we had a feature poll for more fungi/plants/etc to be added

I want ark 1 and 2 kelp chips

[bold juniper]

I want plesis to be tlcd

[stray elm]

Ah yes, lets let a badass creature go live in the most boring, unexplored areas on every map.

[past wind]

I don’t care they will boot tek tier stuff, but some modern tech would be nice.

[blissful perch]

Oceans in ark 1 sans maybe genesis are mostly very lame

[stray elm]

Honestly, I hope the beetle wins cause it's an actual unique creatures then a fucking 'bison' is.

[blissful perch]

I would also be opposed to a new fully aquatic ocean creature in ark 1. It just wouldn’t do much imo. Amphibious mounts would go hard…but I’m also ark 2 DLC 1 ocean gang

[bold juniper]

I don’t think an amebo colony is we’re it’s at tho

[bold juniper]

Yeah fuck the bison

[blissful perch]

I think it’s certainly creative (the slime mold)

[stray elm]

It's a fucking bison!

[blissful perch]

But I agree slime mold ain’t quite the speed I want to take for a new creature for ark 1

[stray elm]

If I wanted to go tame one, I'd go to fucking Texas

[split dove]

or the ''ovis + equus model combo with recycled abilities'' to waste a creature slot on

[bold juniper]

I want an ancient hippo with water buff rivalry runs like bear and has chargeable chomp like deinosuchus

Perhaps even a pack bonus

But since there’s Dino’s it wouldn’t be op

[stray elm]

I come to ARK to tame unique animals that never are/where.
Pokemon if it actually had fucking balls.
Not to go out and tame a fucking 'bison' that I could just go to the local zoo and fucking steal it.

[bold juniper]

Cus they only have 10hp after breeding

Bison ain’t even extinct bro

[stray elm]

The idea is that it's a extinct 'species' of bison

[blissful perch]

Not yet 🙃

[bold juniper]

American bison still lives

[bold juniper]

Bruh

[stray elm]

It isn't a American bison

[bold juniper]

Just saying they ain’t extinct

[stray elm]

It's why Slime-Mold was allowed
Cause the creature itself just has to be a extinct species, the whole line doesn't need to be extinct

[split dove]

even more funny when Neddy who created the goat concept and tried to let it win in 2 or 3 votes at this point is making a video telling people to vote for the Gorgon bc his bad goat isn't winning

[stray elm]

There 'are' extinct species of bisons though.

[blissful perch]

I would say that the two things that would need to come in are a good mammal like reptile and a good temnospondyl

[bold juniper]

I think the gorgonops is a good creature

Early reptile not a dinosaur

[blissful perch]

I’m not sold on the abilities but the creature for sure

[stray elm]

I'd rather have a beetle then another reptile, ngl

[blissful perch]

Great mammal like reptile choice, represents the mammal like reptiles which is imo not well represented outside lystro and dimetrodon…it’s a good niche

[lavish rain]

When did it say it had to be extinct

[stray elm]

The abilities don't matter.
Wildcard stated that they'll 'consider' them. But wont implement them if they don't want to.

[stray elm]

In the posts rules

"Must be a extinct/prehistoric dinosaur, mammal, reptile, etc"

[blissful perch]

I read the suggested abilities and the creature when considering the strength of a submission regardless

[split dove]

Dinopithecus voting for funny monkey guns flashback

[bold juniper]

What is the beetle

[lavish rain]

That's dumb

[stray elm]

A beetle the size of a trike.

[lavish rain]

Dumb rule

[bold juniper]

Those never existed

[stray elm]

Nor did half the shit in ARK

It doesn't need to be accurate, just had to exist.

[blissful perch]

I believe it’s a very heavily stylized extinct diving beetle

[bold juniper]

Yeah but the rules were specifically stated

[split dove]

suddenly we're trying to go realistic with Ark? 😂

[stray elm]

"It doesn't need to be accurate, just had to exist"

[lavish rain]

Dumb rules

[bold juniper]

You can’t argue the beetle being that big

[stray elm]

You can't with the giga either

And yet, here we are.
A 5-story building tall reptile

[tropic forge]

giga was from dino crysis 2

[lavish rain]

! A

[mint swan]

👀

[blissful perch]

The beetle being large again is a stylized choice. It’s modeled after a real creature

[bold juniper]

Big dung beetle

[stray elm]

Actually, it's a type of Hercules beetle iirr

The idea of it is it's a walking tank.
Like, its saddle literally has a tank canon on it.

[blissful perch]

Is this not the semi aquatic one? Whoops if so

[tropic forge]

i'll go whit godzila, there's pics and movies so its real

[blissful perch]

I tend to ignore the submissions until the final vote phase

[bold juniper]

So a mix between andresarchus and trike

[stray elm]

Yeah, the idea is if the Andre actually was useful and can fight bosses

[bold juniper]

It can

Without bullets

[lavish rain]

Lmäø

[stray elm]

You're right.
It can with cannon shells!

[bold juniper]

::

[lavish rain]

Ĺmăõ

[bold juniper]

:/

Let’s just agree the bison shouldn’t win

[stray elm]

Or the goat

[bold juniper]

It would be a trike rhino creature

[lavish rain]

Bison should win

[bold juniper]

No

[lavish rain]

But the goat shouldn't win on the mere basis of ned brainwashing his audience into voting for it

[bold juniper]

Lol

[stray elm]

Don't mind Lotus, they're just like this.

[bold juniper]

Goat bad bison bad, no like mammals in my Dino game

Gorgo seems interesting

[stray elm]

Nor should the Bison, for having Nekatus (a highly popular person in the community) create it, and everyone rallying to it since "Wow, he made cools maps. Must vote for his creatures!"

[split dove]

he realised his shitty goat isn't gonna win .... again 🤣
So now he's trying to get people to vote for the gorgon

[bold juniper]

Gorgon is better

Gorgon should have a chargeable bite like the deinosuchus

[stray elm]

Iirr, he stated he doesn't even like the goat. He just wants something to make tracking Explorer notes easier.

[lavish rain]

We should add a roulette wheel

New dino

What it lands on is what it does

[bold juniper]

Eww pve nerd, Dino needs to be useful in both

[split dove]

and waste a creature slot, for something the direwolf and wiki already do

[bold juniper]

Has he tried flying with a. Pt

[stray elm]

Ahh, so you're one of those people that instantly invalidates others opinions cause you play on the opposite gamemode as they do?

[bold juniper]

Or a tek suit

[bold juniper]

I said it has to be useful to both, seems your one of the people who can’t read

[stray elm]

That isn't the issue.
Issue is that Explorer-Notes on maps like The-Island are in the most absurd places.

[bold juniper]

Tek suit

Thyla

Megalania

[stray elm]

Then there's the underwater notes

[lavish rain]

They are all over the place

[bold juniper]

The goat isn’t going underwater

[lavish rain]

Did this man really say megalania for explorer notes?

[stray elm]

Which is why the goat is shit.

[bold juniper]

It would do the same thing as the goat

Except it can walk on ceilings and be farmed for bosses

[lavish rain]

Megalania climbs walls

[stray elm]

If its purpose is to track down notes, then it should be a shoulder-pet to actually come with you everywhere.

[bold juniper]

There are already many useful shoulder pets, perhaps they could just tlc and old one that is useless

[stray elm]

That exactly!
Maybe actually give compy's a fucking use

[bold juniper]

Lol

Or even mesos since who uses doors without turrets anyways

They don’t even seem to be able to open them hardly anyways, and it would make sense cus monke smart

[stray elm]

Yeah, I think that mechanic broke.

Honestly, would be more useful if they where able to be undetected by turrets due to their small size, and steal a random items within their base they can carry.

[bold juniper]

Otters could use another use because feroxes give insulation, the only point of otters is to Cary two artifacts

[untold ingot]

I was looking that and rereading it because it was confusing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Although on the flip side, feroxes have basically one use, while otters have 2. I still think otters are more usefuk

[bold juniper]

Feroxes Insulate and can be ridden, they are strong and only take one ele to activate

[stray elm]

And their armor protection scales higher then saddles, since they use helmets.

[bold juniper]

And otters pearl mechanic is super bad

[stray elm]

Yeeeeeep

[bold juniper]

Tho incredibly cute

[untold ingot]

Yes, but they are kind of useless when ridden compared to everything else you can ride

[bold juniper]

Nah they super fast and do really good damage

[stray elm]

A good melee mutated Ferox with a high helmet armor is pretty jacked.

[bold juniper]

There meant to be a pinch Dino

[stray elm]

I've seen mutated feroxes take down rexes.

[bold juniper]

They also have a level of armor pierce and can dismount people

[split dove]

even if you were to max mutate a stat, every transformation randomises the stats so if you want consistent transformation stats you'd have to max every stat

[stray elm]

Fair

Wait, I thought they fixed that?

[bold juniper]

Yeah the thing holding feroxes back is their breeding method

[split dove]

could've, haven't had any maxed ones, only a friend with super spyglass as how i know

[untold ingot]

Feroxes might be able to handle rexes, but they don't compete with shadowmane, or gigas, or any of the creatures people actually fight with

[bold juniper]

They dismount people

[untold ingot]

Not as well as a shadowmane

[bold juniper]

Well shadow manes don’t go on your shoulder

[untold ingot]

Facts

[blissful perch]

Otter being easier to tame compared to ferrox does help

[sonic elbow]

Most of the newer Creatures are forgettable imo.

But maybe that's just me. What do you guys think?

[blissful perch]

Hard disagree. Amarga is a fantastic creature idea

In practice most of the new creatures had issues relating to their taming or use, but conceptually they’re way more complex and engaging than the older creatures

[mighty lion]

Wut

[sonic elbow]

Tropeo is especially forgotten, Dinopith, Megachel, Ferox

[stray elm]

Ferox?

[blissful perch]

Idk about you, but killing a fish is easier than getting element. Did I miss a step?

[sonic elbow]

A lot of the Lost Island ones are actually good though.

[stray elm]

That wasn't a vote.

[untold ingot]

Hmm, they might not be the most useful in normal ark playstyles, but every one of them is better quality than most of the old dinos

Tropeo isn't forgotten, it just got replaced by the astro

[mighty lion]

I found doing a solo pit run and taming feroxes to be easier. Hated taming otters tbh

[sonic elbow]

When did I say vote.

I said newer creatures.

[stray elm]

Fair, I did have to reread it

Ferox became forgettable after Genesis-2 came out.

[blissful perch]

I saw you included megachelon…and most of the genesis creatures are well used and much more complex than older creatures

[untold ingot]

Megachelon is only forgotten because people are too lazy to tame them lol

[blissful perch]

Because they’re the worst tame method in the game

[mighty lion]

Well that and they nerfed them into oblivion. I saw so many people give up on their lines

[sonic elbow]

Yep.

[untold ingot]

Won't disagree. They are phenomenal though

[sonic elbow]

I have never seen Megachelon used once.

[blissful perch]

Really cool idea for a tame, but some parts of the design fell apart in practical PvE use, and for PvP I imagine their use was handicapped by the breeding requirements and nerfs

[untold ingot]

Pve or pvp?

I saw someone use a megachelon to Los a wall just the other day lol

[mighty lion]

When they were first released, everyone used them to back up to towers, have someone run underneath and c4 them down. But now they can only soak a full tower from about 15 seconds

Main use is gen 1 lunar

[split dove]

hey man, don't knock my afk rare flower and mushroom farming turtle boi, best pve use lol

[untold ingot]

Yeah, they are like the best soaker for lunar

[sonic elbow]

Yet I've never seen them used.

Never seen Ferox used either.

[mighty lion]

Did small turtles get nerfed? Sleeping turtles were the best soakers when I left

[sonic elbow]

Bloodstalker is only useful on Gen1, but there its actually very valuable.

And Magmasaur is pretty good too, and was used a lot last time I checked.

[untold ingot]

They are still really good

[untold ingot]

They are good everywhere lol

[sonic elbow]

How so.

[south lance]

speed

ignore armor

water

[untold ingot]

Bloodstalker dashing a wall is really good. I see more of them used on center and ab than I do on gen1 honestly

[mighty lion]

Did they ever fix the turret targeting glitch with them?

[untold ingot]

I don't know

[sonic elbow]

Ooh, you're right

I completely forgot about Ab

[untold ingot]

They are fast on every map too, so if you aren't on a skiff or a maewing you can escape

[rotund grail]

Ark 2 where are you ?

[lavish rain]

Scooby dooby doo

[gentle sapphire]

Any news on ark 2

[untold ingot]

Nope, check back tomorrow

[south lance]

ark 2 releases in exactly 4000 hours

[ripe cedar]

this aged poorly lol

[orchid frigate]

info sourced where

[bold juniper]

Bro the dinos look so cool

buetifal concept art

[stray elm]

Okay, I've been proudly proven wrong that those 'are' Brachi's, and not just Bronto's that'll look like Brachi's. 💀

[ripe cedar]

wait

why would you think that

[bold juniper]

SO

COOL

[ripe cedar]

with the stripes it looks like an x creature

[bold juniper]

the stego looks super metal and the brachi badaass

[mint swan]

Inb4 chat explodes 👍

[rugged flower]

What are people talking abouy atm?

[untold ingot]

The stego looks sick

[rancid night]

brtachi is good, stego looks odd

[stray elm]

Cause I thought they where going to have it as Bronto's looking like Brachi's back in the first trailer.

[rancid night]

too many thagomizers

[untold ingot]

Check the announcements

[frozen agate]

i do wonder if bronto ends up getting axed and replaced with brachi

[rugged flower]

Hype!

[stray elm]

Stego looks like a giant Kentro

[ripe cedar]

I mean it looks way more like a brachi idk why they would do thast

[bold juniper]

stego looks metal

[ripe cedar]

mainly just bigger plates instead of more smaller ones and a much thiccer build

[untold ingot]

It has a nasty looking tail

[ripe cedar]

thagomizer time

[stray elm]

Cause they've changed and over exaggerated stuff beforehand. (and the last time we saw them, they where like 2-miles away and where basically pixels)

[untold ingot]

Maybe it'll actually be good in combat lol

[bold juniper]

the plates down the shoulder the higher up and closer head

[jagged delta]

does the community crunch mean that the gamplay trailer is coming soon?

[ripe cedar]

it was enough to look like a brachi way more than a bronto though, although doesnt really matter at this point so idk

[rancid night]

I hope we get bronto as a proper diplodocid

[untold ingot]

I am pretty sure they just took the mod ones for the first trailer, and that this is a newer one

[bold juniper]

no just means will see more ark 2 art before the trailer

[amber meteor]

Yes

[rancid night]

like a retro brontosaurus

[jagged delta]

ok

[bold juniper]

no

[jagged delta]

i hope it doesn't take weeks tho

[stray elm]

Probably, or a good old case of 'concept art looking cooler then the final product'

[bold juniper]

well maybe

[mint swan]

Ark 1 Ark 2 skins when????

[bold juniper]

I need bob

in ark2

[untold ingot]

I would have to watch it again, but the pts in the first trailer were just redskins of ark1 pts. Even the animations were basically the same

[stray elm]

Hopefully Bob is a preset in ARK-2 within the character creation

[bold juniper]

yes

[split dove]

The default Chad survivor

[bold juniper]

Chad survivor

[untold ingot]

Yeeess. If there are customizable characters, a default one has to be bob

[stray elm]

Have new default survivors we can mold and shape, but have Bob as one of them.

[ripe cedar]

not at all

[bold juniper]

yeah i didnt see that, that was a trailer and they seemed unique enough, you can only make flying look so unique

[frozen agate]

i would imagine vin diesel would be the new default character model

[rugged flower]

Is the day in the life thing about animated series? I might have glossed over that detail if it eas explained

[bold juniper]

no

Bob is the classic

[untold ingot]

Maybe I am wrong

[untold ingot]

>>>

[bold juniper]

[split dove]

Vin will likely just be a npc

[frozen agate]

i would prefer bob stay, but i wouldn't be surprised

[untold ingot]

I would be lol

[untold totem]

The stego looked the same as the old one but more spikier

I wished they lifted the tail more to match the real deal

[untold ingot]

Bob is a cult classic, vindiago is new and loads of people still don't like it lol

[bold juniper]

what do you mean that anky tail is super hight and that stego looks super unique, both are based off an actual thing so there is only so much deviation

[frozen agate]

stego looks like they just took kentro's plates and tail and put it on the stego

[split dove]

It's head and neck are looking kinda like the amarg with the spikes on the chin and head

[bold juniper]

that stego looks super different

keeping in mind its based off a stego and not a fictional creatur

you can only change so much

[untold totem]

There is a reason why the old stego that is used in most toys and apparently ARK 2 is outdated

It makes thagomizing less effective

[jagged delta]

the concept art looks really good i wonder how good ark 2 will look

[frozen agate]

the brachi does look nice though unlike the awful skin for the bronto

[untold ingot]

Heaven forbid the devs have some creative freedom in making a Dino on an alien planet lol

[bold juniper]

fax

[untold totem]

Don't expect it to looked better than the 2d art

Remember the derpy Amarga VS Dossier Amarga

[bold juniper]

derpy amarga is butifal

[untold totem]

I mean, if copy-pasting Garuga's Brachi is "creative freedom" then I am laughing

[untold ingot]

It's not copy pasted though lol

[bold juniper]

shh hes a bison supporter

[untold totem]

I bet my nonexistent nut it's gonna be lackluster since they made every single giant herbivore as "derpy, dumb, etc" compared to ARK Add

[tropic crag]

We get it, get overrrrrr itttttt

[bold juniper]

🐮

[untold ingot]

I am holding to hope thst herbivores are as op and good in game as they are irl

[bold juniper]

herbivors are op in ark

specialy that theri

[stray elm]

Only like the Theri

[bold juniper]

stego

[untold totem]

Only the Theri

[bold juniper]

is op

[untold ingot]

If you have to use the theri to say they are op, then it's not a good comparison lol

[bold juniper]

stego tail bleed is god tier, maybe invest some stamina, its crazy that they are the best stego counter lol

[untold totem]

It's only op when turrets exist lol

[bold juniper]

mammoth op

rhino is good

[untold totem]

Stam trash

[stray elm]

Fair, but that's still four out of the 30-ish herbivores?

[bold juniper]

invest some

gali has a specific purpose

[frozen agate]

phiomia is op

for farming

[short fulcrum]

What about Rhinos, Mammoths and Stegos?

[split dove]

Nerf it's poop rate, that will teach them 😩

[stray elm]

A phiomia is as op as my shits are after I ate a block of cheese.

[bold juniper]

what about para detect

[untold totem]

Have you face them wild yet?

They drop like flies when they see a rex

[split dove]

Or 5 wolfs

[bold juniper]

thats wild, everything dies fast wild

[stray elm]

A lot of PvP'ers that I've seen don't use it. Since it just gives away your position to any travelers.

[untold totem]

Mostly herbis

[bold juniper]

actualy every base typicaly has one that they turn on during a raid

[short fulcrum]

I've seen wild mammoths and rhinos take down wild Rexs before

[frozen agate]

level 1 rexes

[bold juniper]

i see a group of mammoths take on a pack of yuty and carno

[untold totem]

Call me when a herbivore that isn't a Theri deserved to have my pants browned

[stray elm]

During a raid, sure.
But I wouldn't call it "OP" when it's a 10-second delay of the targets last position was.

[split dove]

I'd be fine with letting herbis heal faster when eating/gathering berries like carnivores already do

[past wind]

I'm happy they gave up on waiting for the trailer to be ready. Both concepts look very cool.

[bold juniper]

amargasaurus could be good but in specific scenes

[stray elm]

Yuty's aren't that hard to kill in the first place.

[stray elm]

Okay, you have a valid point with this one

[bold juniper]

just get more

but we all know the most powerful herbeivor is diplo

[stray elm]

Then your screen is covered in red circles, and you can't see shit.

[bold juniper]

thats a joke

[bold juniper]

you werent gonna do anything against the hackers anyways

no but paras are useful

especialy as an offensive tame postine above or inside the cave

[stray elm]

Bruh, we're talking about the balance of the creatures, not the exploits. 💀
If we're gonna go be like that, then every fucking creature is useless against meshing.

[bold juniper]

you can see the enemies hiding and getting ready to push you out

[bold juniper]

well, paras detect that

paracers are also good dinos for raiding, because plat saddle

[stray elm]

You don't need para's to detect meshing.
You know it if you're on official PvP. 💀

Everyone meshes on official, which is sad.

[bold juniper]

pachy is underated both of them

tiny one has good crouch soaking and trike variant has better turret soaking hitbox to protect player

[languid kayak]

am i the only one that thinks that the brachiosaur doesnt need spikes (from the concept art)

[stray elm]

Burd, this is a honest question, and don't take it the wrong way.
But have you played official PvP?

[stray elm]

Yes, you are.
Spikes are badass.

[bold juniper]

i have

didnt like it as much

i play harvest boosted unnoficials

[split dove]

This post was made by the spike look gang

[stray elm]

Okay, so with meshing and duping and such all aside.
You do know that people know a days (when playing legit) use mostly just Giga's and Shadowmanes, right?

And rhino's, those too

[bold juniper]

duh its the oll tp chomp

imagine shadowmanes without nets

unbeatable

theris are cave fighters

[stray elm]

Right.
So while yes, all of these creatures are valid for a PvE standpoint. The moment you try to use them on PvP, you're gonna get stomped.
I think this is what they originally meant as "wished we had more OP herbivores"
As in "I wished we had a Giga rival that was a herbivore."
Which we slightly do with rhino's, but you need some good mutations before they're ready to tango with a Giga.

[tropic crag]

It was never supposed to be part of anything, they were adding it to all maps because it came close not once but twice and nothing more, except maybe the reasoning of "they just wanted to kinda" 😂

[mint swan]

Did it came out yet?

[bold juniper]

what im gathering is people want herbi that fights giga, because as is herbivors have a place in pvp just less about damage more bout soaking

[stray elm]

No

[pale zealot]

❤️

[mint swan]

Oh

[stray elm]

Right!
People wanna 'fight' with herbivores, not rely on them for soaking.

[bold juniper]

then use theri

[stray elm]

But then you'll get stomped by a Giga

[split dove]

Which is probably the most boring form of combat in ark, which says a lot

[bold juniper]

nah theri beat giga

theri rage gig

[untold totem]

Giga says easy chicken

[past wind]

I have a theory. They seem to be on a Spiky phase, they needed an spiked giga. They created Carchar.

[tropic crag]

Objectively false

[bold juniper]

gig has spikes

just not as many

[past wind]

Too short ones.

[stray elm]

Yes, freshly tamed Giga's.
Not giga's that have been breed for 4+ years and are nearly at the level cap.

[untold totem]

Doubt

If that were the case people breed theris for actual combat instead just for boss runs

[bold juniper]

theri near level cap does samething, giga health doesnt go up much

[untold ingot]

Theris are op. Not for a giga line, but definitely in Caves and such

[untold totem]

I don't see any PVP players use theris to do real raids

Even megatribes lol

[stray elm]

Yes, I know this.
But Theri's have not been universally breed as much as Giga's have. And therefore lack those years of mutation stacking Alpha's have.

[bold juniper]

THe only way i see a gig killer is if bronto got tlc

[bold juniper]

thats not the theris fault, you want them to add a tame thats broken enought to fight years of breeding

[untold totem]

Lmao

[bold juniper]

that you get wild or after one breed

[stray elm]

'YES!'

[bold juniper]

no

[untold totem]

Even with ARK poc style servers, people rarely use theris to raids

[split dove]

🍿

[bold juniper]

because then alphas will breed that herbivor to max

and then wattya gonna do

get a carnvior thats op

[untold totem]

"alpha" tribes are not that dumb

[split dove]

🩸 dmg

[bold juniper]

not dumb enough to what, they will breed the most op thing available

[untold totem]

And that is why you don't see theris used in actual raids

The Giga's AOE bite is way more superior than just a slap

[stray elm]

ARK has a breeding issue on PvP.
No one can fairfully fight against with years of breeding.
And to be able to rival said creatures, you'll need to breed your own line. Which god knows how long that'll take, and who knows what'll happen inbetween that time.
A creature that's able to deal bonus damage to tamed Giga's would be great, and help that issue.

[lunar finch]

We’ve decided to give you a peek behind the curtain and begin showcasing more ARK 2 tidbits regularly as we lead up to the first gameplay trailer.

MOAR

[royal patio]

ark 2 is looking great can't wait to see the next trailer

[bold juniper]

slap make rage gig, rhino make rage gig, a rage gig is basicaly dead cus they do dumb stuff

[stray elm]

This personally tells me that a Gameplay trailer seems to be somewhat soon-ish. 👀
Unless they're going to show new concept art once a week till E3, then it 'might' be soon

[untold totem]

LMAO that is some dream

[bold juniper]

that is a bunch of copium, lets hope we dont suffer from a withdrawl

[untold totem]

Even in ARKpoc it's not the case lol

[stray elm]

Damn, did 'not' remember asking?

[bold juniper]

damn its like a weird way of saying i hope its true, but i understand the confusion

[frozen agate]

i can't wait to see the gameplay trailer in december 2024

[bold juniper]

2025

[lunar finch]

Can we just enjoy some positive vibes about it. 🤨

[untold totem]

Strange way to say "I lost the argument" but ok

[tropic crag]

[stray elm]

Anyway.
"At least personally" it seems like they might show gameplay sooner then later.
I hope this is the case

[bold juniper]

that was replying to a different comment, but if thats what you need to win, then perhaps your argument was flawed

idk how replying to ark 2 news means ive lost the convo i was having 5 secs prior

[past wind]

I'm personally happy they will share more stuff more often.

[lunar finch]

For sure!

Looking forward to the future tidbits AND the gameplay.

[stray elm]

Oh sure, you'll respond to Charlie's comment, but not mine.

[split dove]

And we know it's building up to the gameplay

[untold totem]

I am waiting for the gameplay to prove us all wrong

I can take an L for that if they did

[lunar finch]

I didn't respond to any one comment. >_>

[stray elm]

"I'm personally happy they will share more stuff more often."
"For sure!"

[bold juniper]

<_<

_>

[untold totem]

Wake me up when they do release the gameplay

For now I'll be in my bunker

[lunar finch]

""At least personally" it seems like they might show gameplay sooner then later.
I hope this is the case"
"I'm personally happy they will share more stuff more often."
"For Sure!"

[tropic crag]

Honestly, with the new concepts, yeah, and I'm HERE for it, spikes spikes and more spikes

[untold ingot]

The Rex is going to have bison horns

[stray elm]

That's...what?

[lunar finch]

As in it was a general response to both response to me...

[stray elm]

Heather, you responded after someone else stated something, and so you where responding with them, as apparent with Article #69 of the Rules-of-the-Internet.

[gusty echo]

Once again they have failed to keep their own words, not looking good

[frozen agate]

consolation prize if the bison doesn't win the vote

[lunar finch]

The heck have they not kept their word on now? Lmao

[untold ingot]

If there were rules to the internet things would work more smoothly lol

[stray elm]

Ah yes, just like always there's that one person that can't just fucking apricate we got more information.

[untold ingot]

Bison better win

[frozen agate]

funny way to spell beetle

[past wind]

Spiked pteras

[royal patio]

the beetle is gonna win

[untold ingot]

I don't like bugs

[royal patio]

I'm ready for more ark 2 news

[rugged flower]

Team beetle

[stray elm]

This was what I was theorizing.
They promised 'next thing we show, it'll be gameplay'
And I've said "Damn, I would love some new concept art. But I know there's gonna be 'those' fuckers that will take it as a sign of breaking a promise"
And here we are!!

[untold ingot]

You know the community too well lol

[gusty echo]

Just stating facts but I'm sorry if you feel hurt by honesty

[stray elm]

Sadly.

[tropic crag]

Skill issue

Hey, now I'm caught up! Whew

[untold ingot]

They could release it tomorrow and there would be a pack of people complaining thst it wasn't delayed more

[royal patio]

the stego and brachi look great I'm ready to see more

[stray elm]

And I'm also stating facts that people like 'you' will always take things to a extreme literal.
I'm sorry that I, a person born with real mental disabilities have a better time understanding others then you do.

Anyway, back to ARK-2

[lunar finch]

[untold ingot]

Don't have to make it too personal

[royal patio]

I think if the beetle wins the poll they should add the other top 9 dinos to ark 2

[untold ingot]

Anyway, the stego is cool, but it doesn't look like it can climb walls

[stray elm]

Interesting enough, they have yet confirmed if the creature voting is for ARK 1, or 2.

[untold ingot]

Instead of the beetle? Then emyes

[untold ingot]

This is true

[lunar finch]

Very happy to be seeing stuff, looking forward to what new creatures will make their debut in ARK 2.

[untold totem]

Slime for ARK 2 let's go

[frozen agate]

i just hope microraptors are in ark 2 😩

[tropic crag]

Yes they have, it's for Ark 1. It's pretty blatantly obvious via the wording and such about shaking up the meta, etc

[stray elm]

At this point, I do want recruitable NPC's in ARK-2 to pain Shifter.

[stray elm]

Have they?
Huh, must've missed it.

[iron sequoia]

Who hurt you

[frozen agate]

ark on console

[untold totem]

The game apparently

[tropic crag]

But, again, as I've stated like 30 times, any and all vote creatures have the potential to show up in Ark 2 as inspiration

[stray elm]

Honestly, as much as I hate them. I do want them back in ARK-2.
They're annoying and painful, but they make early-game interesting.

[past wind]

First trailer shows some Archeopteryx.

[royal patio]

troodons in ark 2 will be crazy

[past wind]

no thanks

[tropic crag]

Microraptors as an area-defending creature that blocks you from just strolling through a high level area was always a nice thing imo

[stray elm]

Give me!

[stray elm]

And to fuck you over in the tek cave!

[untold totem]

Me with my troodon army be like

[frozen agate]

regardless though i wouldn't be surprised at all if any ARK 1 dinos get cut, they'll get added in through mods

[bold juniper]

bison better lose

[frozen agate]

duality of man

[past wind]

99% some will

[bold juniper]

if i wanted to see a cow id go to your house

[stray elm]

Oh yeah, defiantly.
Stuff like reapers and shadowmanes I have doubts of returning, but modding will 'make' them return

[royal patio]

I think for ark 2 they should add the Utah raptor and pyroraptor

[tropic crag]

Bison is a cool concept, but not as cool imo as the beetle

[stray elm]

They do have Utahraptors

[untold ingot]

They'll look super derpy, except maybe shadowmane

[bold juniper]

i hope spino return

and allo

[astral token]

Fucking finally

Give us one of these every week and I’ll be satisfied

[untold totem]

I am looking forward to more unique alien creatures

Hopefully less "pop culture" and more "Spec Evo"

[astral token]

There will be alien creatures 100%

[untold totem]

If the bison lost, it will not happen

~ Dr. Strange 2024

[royal patio]

they should add the ceratosaurus

[bold juniper]

yes i wanna see some truly aliean creature

[median kayak]

0 trailer or gameplay? Jesus wildcard

[frozen agate]

they better not or they'll make garuga cry

[astral token]

Like a chameleon with plant camo built in owo

[astral token]

Oh atleast we get some shit

[untold totem]

Already did with brachy lol

[bold juniper]

an 8 legged smal creatures with great climbing

[astral token]

“Praise what you have, for you will miss it when it’s gone”

[bold juniper]

abd swimming

[astral token]

Look bro I am a PC player and I respect Garuga

[bold juniper]

not a spider

[astral token]

Doesn’t mean he copyrights any creatures he makes

[median kayak]

Bruh we got nothin, like they are “equal” to ark 1 just updated on unreal engine 5.1 lol

[astral token]

No?

[bold juniper]

shhh

debei downer

[frozen agate]

i know it's just a joke

[bold juniper]

They look badass

[astral token]

Ye

Also Jurassic Parkin’ time

[bold juniper]

ItS a sUarPod

[frozen agate]

podsaur

[bold juniper]

ThEy aLL lOoK tHe sAMe

[south lance]

i made it up

[orchid frigate]

fair enough

[bold juniper]

hes too powerful

[south lance]

i am

[astral token]

Sam is too powerful

[south lance]

i just finished a 25 hour hw assignment

[bold juniper]

eww

[south lance]

💪 💪 💪 💪

[astral token]

Sam has a 4080

[bold juniper]

times rejectedd

[untold ingot]

Nice, what was it?

[median kayak]

Btw it will come out on 2024

[south lance]

the first data structures hw (i dropped ds last sem and did cs1)

[astral token]

He’s resdy to play ARK II at 4k 60fps on ultra 😎

[untold ingot]

Linked lists?

[royal patio]

it be nice if they release ark 2 for ps5 at the same time as the xbox

[bold juniper]

not gonna happen

[south lance]

no its literally just a big amount of normal python level code

no fancy data structures utilized

[frozen agate]

PS players will continue to suffer

[astral token]

Bro has a 4080

[untold ingot]

Ah. Yeah. I don't like coding in python lol. C and c++ is where I am at lol

[south lance]

its first week of classes after all

[astral token]

Me who uses Java and Ruby

Tho tbf once u learn 1 OOP

It’s not too difficult to pick up on others

[untold ingot]

Java is c++ on drugs though

[bold juniper]

Me who dont know how any of them work

[past wind]

Won't happen

[astral token]

True

[south lance]

when the teacher doesnt allow using namespace std 😆

[astral token]

Java is what is in the curriculum

Ruby I learned for a specific endeavour of mine

[untold ingot]

Java is useful, especially with Android.

[astral token]

Ruby is fun u can make pi as 69420 by default

[south lance]

java is better than cpp purely because it cuts down on 50% of the code involved in initialization

[astral token]

I do know some C++

We had it for like 1 year

[untold ingot]

Hmm, I wouldnt say better. I woukd say different

[south lance]

its different by being better

😎

[astral token]

I could probably add 2 numbers and display them 💀

[untold ingot]

C++ is waaaay faster, but Java is better at objects

[south lance]

the primitive data types are implemented the same in java and cpp

[astral token]

Object are the future

[south lance]

i think java just does a lot of simplification of cpp

[astral token]

Also java is fast enough if u use the right compilers

[untold ingot]

They are both shootoffs of c. Basically the same, but slightly different

[south lance]

isnt cpp bigger than c now

[untold ingot]

Same with c#

[south lance]

in terms of libraries and stuf

[astral token]

Csharp too no?

[untold ingot]

Yes, because it supports object oriented code

[astral token]

Never used it

[south lance]

cause c is really low level iirc

im learning c for an electronics class

[desert swallow]

c is for real developers

java and C#... amateur hour

[untold ingot]

C is the fastest language around that gets used a lot. But it doesn't handle user oriented software very well lol

[astral token]

Btw see how Python is growing in popularity, similar to that we should make Gigantophis grow in popularity in the creature vote 👀

[untold ingot]

It's mostly backend stuff for speed

[south lance]

im boutta have intro level skills in 4 languages

[desert swallow]

git gud

[untold ingot]

Python sux

[untold ingot]

I am lol

[desert swallow]

Python is fast to develop in.

and it's really simple and easy

[south lance]

why does all the AI use python if its so slow tho

[astral token]

It’s simple and easy to vote for Gigantophis

[desert swallow]

it has it's use cases, such as scripting in another program, ie blender

[south lance]

couldnt you optimize stuff like nodes in another language

[untold ingot]

I hate it's syntax, mainly because I learned c first

[untold ingot]

Because it's easy, and they have a couple good libraries already, mostly written in c and ported to python

[desert swallow]

python also isn't a bad choice as a serverless language (aws lambda)

[south lance]

oh ok

so its already pretty fast

[desert swallow]

python can be a dogs breakfast

[south lance]

at least with the right library

[desert swallow]

you can write super slow code in it

[untold ingot]

Hm, it takes advantage of the speed of c to be fast

[south lance]

ya

[untold ingot]

It is the easiest to translate pseudocode in, which makes it popular

[south lance]

that and matlab

matlab is so fucking weird

[desert swallow]

for weird people

[south lance]

does it even count as a language

[untold ingot]

Matlab is a special case, it's not really a language for general coding

[south lance]

its just for math

[desert swallow]

if you were to do some astronomy stuff. It'd be a good fit

[south lance]

but i fucking hate how it does matrices

[untold ingot]

It is optimal for math scripts and making plots and such, but it is worse than python for normal code

[south lance]

we already have usable syntax for nD arrays that are the same in every lang

[astral token]

I do matrices with 🧠

[south lance]

i have no brain

[astral token]

Sadge

[south lance]

just God and prayers

[tropic crag]

How in the world does this relate to Ark 2, I wonder...

[desert swallow]

If I recall matlab handles floats extremely well.

[south lance]

it works at least enough times for me to stay winning

[desert swallow]

matlab mission in ark 2 confirmed

[untold ingot]

Matlab is for scientists who don't want to switch to python lol

[south lance]

python is even easier tho

[astral token]

ARK II needs be coded no?

[untold ingot]

Not for a 70 year old professor

[south lance]

unique forms of skill issue tbh

is the syntax for matlab math closer to normal math

i have been procrastinating on finishing a tutorial

[desert swallow]

Someone can learn python in a few days and get something to market extremely fast. The same can't be said for most other languages

[untold ingot]

Matlab is closer to math notation yes

[south lance]

ig that makes sense then

[untold ingot]

If they do that then its a simple code lol

[south lance]

wish it didnt need the whole semicolon garbage

[desert swallow]

modern languages move away from that boilerplate stuff.

[tropic crag]

Bad excuse and you should feel bad

[astral token]

You should feel bad for interrupting a normal conversation🔫

[south lance]

we simply make it related to ark2 through a convoluted line of tangential reasoning

[tropic crag]

In a channel... with a defined topic? OK LMAO 🤡

[astral token]

tbh

[untold ingot]

Hate to break it to you, but they do that because they replace ; with the newline character lol.

[astral token]

I like ;

[south lance]

the devs laugh behind our backs because we dont understand coding

[astral token]

I mean my examiners do

[south lance]

this is the solution

[desert swallow]

for real dawg?

[astral token]

They love to cut our marks when we miss a damn ; in written papers

[south lance]

grade deflation be like

[astral token]

Sad

[desert swallow]

professors are horrible programmers

[astral token]

Probably

[desert swallow]

I realize that's a generalization based on my limited experience years ago.

[untold ingot]

Generally speaking yeah

[untold ingot]

My Java professor coded the Webb telescope lol

[desert swallow]

I do this for a living, as I'm assuming you do too. I'm well aware of the basics.

[astral token]

🤯 average MIT student

[untold ingot]

It's a normal thing lol

[south lance]

if its at a better than average college then most professors are from even better schools

[astral token]

Studying in MIT is not normal

[south lance]

like the top 100 unis are bursting with ivy professors

[untold ingot]

I was not in MIT lol

[astral token]

Definitely in some chad college

[untold ingot]

Not really

[astral token]

I don’t livr in the US so tbf I wouldn’t know ;—;

[desert swallow]

With software development, nothing beats real world experience. Professors that develop for their research or in the industry would be ideal, but from my experience that isn't the case.

[south lance]

yeah but youd generally need to excel in any case

[desert swallow]

You could read all day long for years and still write crappy code.

[south lance]

usually thats highly correlated with ivy/prestigious tech or liberal arts

[untold ingot]

Facts. My best professors have been the new ones who just came in out of building software or from nasa lol

[south lance]

ye but the ppl at mit arent reading theyre winning coding competitions

and making startups

[untold ingot]

I have met some middleschool kids who coded better than some of my first teachers lol

[desert swallow]

then that would be great.

[untold ingot]

MIT isn't all that really

[astral token]

Nice to meet you (probably?)

[south lance]

cs majors at mit probably are significantly made up of comp prog and people whove developed massive projects that actually work

mostly the latter ofc, not that many ppl in comp prog

but like they get millions of apps, theres no reason not to select the actual best when you are the best

[untold ingot]

I mean, that's not actually totally true

[south lance]

what would you wager the numbers are like

[astral token]

I am above middleschool tho

Gona finish highschool in a month

[untold ingot]

Don't know the numbers, but just because someone went to MIT doesn't mean they are the best

[south lance]

its just correlated

[untold ingot]

Not really

[astral token]

On average probably an MIT guy will be better than some rando

Ofc there will be exceptions

[south lance]

theres terence taos out there who went to decent state schools, and other ppl who arent even in college but are excellent, but if you wanna get a career as senior web dev and you have 90% of the portfolio, just not the degree, youre gonna get the best degree you can get

[untold ingot]

MIT is more engineering than software

[south lance]

fair ig

theres better cs programs

[desert swallow]

People fresh out of school walking into their first job don't know a whole lot yet. Doesn't matter where they go, the school they go to may better prepare them to learn though, but it's often down to the individual and their personality for growth.

[untold ingot]

When you actually get out in the field, it doesn't matter where you went to school. Only what you do

[south lance]

just not many

[astral token]

We have da IITs, they r quite in demand in thr global sphere now

[south lance]

i think that sentiment ignores that the people who know what to do, especially early on, are the ones selected for these schools

that and ofc pampering but still

[untold ingot]

Doesn't mean they are the best lol

[south lance]

i mean you cant guarantee an einstein level genius in any context

im just referring to people who are probably top .1%

in some field

[untold ingot]

Why not? Einsteins genius was hard work honestly

[south lance]

because tons of people work hard without making a revolutionary work

[untold ingot]

Not because they are less smart though

[astral token]

Bigbrain + hardwork > hardwork > bigbrain

[untold ingot]

Einstein got famous because of pop culture. There are loads smarter than he was lol

[south lance]

and no i dont mean like farming or whatever i mean working intelligently, doing the exact some someone who does get exceptional results does

[south lance]

its a good example

terence tao is probably better ig idk

point being that hard work only gets so far

[desert swallow]

the rest is luck

[south lance]

yeah

rolling the dice on the right neural net in your head

😔

[desert swallow]

you need to be smart enough to capitalize on a lucky opportunity, but luck is a big factor in success

[untold ingot]

Some people are naturally gifted, that much is indisputable, but to say that the naturally gifted go to one school or other is not true lol. Nor does it mean that normal people can't reach that level

[desert swallow]

about 5 years into your profressional experience, school means nothing

[south lance]

i thought you meant like, your own intellectual potential being determined randomly (you dont choose)

[desert swallow]

source: old professional who interviews candidates, all the time.

[untold ingot]

This is an antiquated idea and is false lol

[astral token]

HmMmMm

[south lance]

sure its not a law, but its more usually true than not, otherwise why have inequality outside of economic dissimilarity

[untold ingot]

You can be good without a school's degree lol

[south lance]

yes

im saying most good people have a degree

[untold ingot]

It depends on how much work you put into it.

[astral token]

The thing abiut tech is it’s almost entirely a corporate world

I don’t like the corporate world it’s not for me

[desert swallow]

you're in higschool

you know nothing about the corporate world

[untold ingot]

A degree really means nothing. Regardless of what school you go to. It gets connections, it doesn't train genius

[south lance]

if youre good and financially able, youre gonna get a degree most of the time

[astral token]

My paternal, maternal uncle, aunt and my father all work in corporate

[south lance]

at the very least, youll attend for connections

[desert swallow]

most adults do.

[south lance]

being good and ignoring the degree is just being daring

[untold ingot]

I'm not saying don't go to school, I am saying don't value the degree as more than it is worth.

[astral token]

It’s not for me is what I am saying xD

[untold ingot]

Lots of people have masters or doctorates and are dumber than a box of rocks, and lots of people don't have degrees and are smart as a whip

[desert swallow]

and I'm telling you, as a young person, to not let other peoples experiences ruin your perception of something right out of the gate.

to be successful in this world you will need to be part of it

[south lance]

a top 10 school degree can get you an interview guaranteed lol, you just need to have decent social skills after that in order to learn and communicate effectively

[royal patio]

it be nice if they add certain things from the ark additions into the main game as a final big update to ark 1

[astral token]

True

[south lance]

unless you literally are terence tao level, the degree is insanely valuable at least to getting started

[astral token]

I am not ruling anything out atm

[south lance]

like yeah, after the degree what matters is job exp

[astral token]

Let’s see what sort of college I get into

In India it matters

There’s a fucking huge population

[south lance]

but you cant get decent job exp in the first place without the pedigree

[untold ingot]

Your portfolio matters more lol

[south lance]

which you can make amazing in a place that has the best interns and connections

[blissful perch]

You don’t have the degree -> you’re screened out -> dead in the water

[south lance]

which is a large part of the degree although is somewhat circular in reasoning (it itself is a feedback)

[untold ingot]

There is some of that yes

[blissful perch]

Degree isn’t everything, but you need the basic qualifications to get in the door. A reference is the next most valuable asset

[untold ingot]

I am a big proponent of going to school and getting a degree, but just because you or anyone didn't go to the big school doesn't mean that you are less than those that did

[blissful perch]

In the minds of some you are

Not an insurmountable barrier, but it can be real in certain fields

[desert swallow]

law is big on that

[untold ingot]

In general most schools nationwide offer essentially the same curriculum for undergraduate classes

[blissful perch]

Same with wallstreet/NYC style finance

[astral token]

In school we are focused more on Physics, Chemistry and Maths, CS is pretty much like a third (fourth?) wheel where the syllabus is piss easy and everybody gets good grades

[blissful perch]

Computer science is actually more flexible than normal because it’s in such high demand

[desert swallow]

I believe that everyone should know the basics of coding

it's useful in every field

[blissful perch]

Code logic yes. Code language I’m eh about

[untold ingot]

It's only post graduate that different schools take precedence, mainly they don't offer all the same programs

[untold ingot]

If everyone knew coding we could move past user interfaces and go back to the terminal where interesting things can happen lol

[blissful perch]

Politely: fuck that

[south lance]

i do not like terminal too much tbh

[untold ingot]

Because you do python, probably using windows

[south lance]

cpp compiling is a pain you adapt to

[desert swallow]

this isn't your personal erotica discord

[blissful perch]

Terminal is buns because it’s uglier than ark on low poly graphics

[south lance]

i wouldve used an ide but i dont want to learn new ui

[astral token]

Facts

[south lance]

stuck with sublime and ubuntu

[untold ingot]

It's a bunch of text...

[south lance]

😔

[untold ingot]

Ubuntu is okay. It's better than windows

[blissful perch]

Yea and it’s ugly

[south lance]

thank god it supports some janky copy paste

[blissful perch]

Miss me with DF classic. The steam version adds graphics and bam it’s playable

[south lance]

otherwise my g and + keys are gone

[untold ingot]

I had a tron game in the terminal that me and my friend would play during physics classes lol

[blissful perch]

Man I’d play the Christ out of ark 3 tactical RTS

[astral token]

U mean sotf but after u die

[blissful perch]

I bet Raq’s dream of ark 3 text based gameplay tho would sell just as well 😂

[untold ingot]

Ubuntu?

[south lance]

yes its like right click for some reason

ctrl v to paste doesnt work

[blissful perch]

Sort of yea

[untold ingot]

What wierd notepad are you using. And why isn't it y and p

[south lance]

but right click again

idk dude

[fallow niche]

[astral token]

I mean I’d use Linux but I am too lazy to learn a new OS

[blissful perch]

Although now that I think harder ark with xcom elements would hit soooo good

[south lance]

i hate ui

[tropic crag]

Save me

[untold ingot]

Vim is where it's at. I like neovim because colors

[blissful perch]

I’d KILL to be able to get a synergistic creature squad and wack some aliens/rockwell bois with tactical turn based combat

[desert swallow]

go east
go west
*you see a door
open door

• you see a dino
  attack dino
  *dino hits you for 5 hp
  attack dino
• dino crits
• you died

[south lance]

i want all programs to just be approximations of digital logic that you use your brain directly to affect

[fallow niche]

Lets bring it back to ark 2 please

[south lance]

but ark2 content is dead

[astral token]

Average Dark Souls player

[fallow niche]

Then go to general or ark

[blissful perch]

Don’t spoil ark 3 tf

[south lance]

general is where you spread creature propoganda

[blissful perch]

This is the ark 2 chat smh

[fallow niche]

Keep it ark 2 if you're going to be in this channel

[astral token]

This could be a cool thing in 20 years when ARK II comes out

There its ARK II related now

[south lance]

ark2 is where i make up the whole game in my head

[untold ingot]

Vindiago uses a terminal in one of the trailers, I wonder if ark2 is secretly terminal based

[south lance]

and it just comes into existence on real computers

[tropic crag]

🤦‍♂️

[astral token]

Raq’s wet dream is text based ARK II

[blissful perch]

Vindiago uninstalls Raq’s ark 2 for his horrible take to change the game to terminal 😂😂

[untold ingot]

I don't dream, I stare blankly into space

[astral token]

Vindiago calls his family and starts protesting

[south lance]

dang emptiness got you fucked up

[blissful perch]

Yea it’s time for an ark 2 spin-off. Snail games get on this pls

I want that xcom ark title asap 😂

You have taming missions where you send some lads out into the wilds to get tames and then bring mounted marines into combat with their tames…damn it sounds good

[astral token]

I think Pikmin got what he wanted, but not how he wanted xD

[blissful perch]

As it always should be

[astral token]

Perfectly unbalanced, as all things should be

[sand rapids]

Finally brachiosaurus

yey

[astral token]

Jurassic Parkin’ time, as I said

Hay Jordan sounds like some rock singer 😂

[fallow lion]

Sheesh finally they drop something

Now give us smth more aggressive

[desert swallow]

[potent hull]

well i just read this in the community crunch 345

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!

Since the announcement of ARK 2, we've watched the community's excitement and anticipation rise as we continued to work diligently in the background to define the new survival experience. Despite anticipating our next showing of ARK 2 to be a gameplay showcase, we see the hunger and eagerness for more ARK 2 information, and we get it. We’ve decided to give you a peek behind the curtain and begin showcasing more ARK 2 tidbits regularly as we lead up to the first gameplay trailer. We hope you enjoy these appetizers, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the main course ;)!

As always, we love seeing the passion of the ARK community on display, and we look forward to getting more inform

[desert swallow]

ok

[potent hull]

[astral token]

Hay Jordan!

[desert swallow]

[astral token]

[astral token]

I wouldn’t mind seeing a mammal for a change, Saber maybe

[potent hull]

[astral token]

But yes I said this long ago

[south lance]

since brachios are in ark2 ig any dinosaur works

[potent hull]

[south lance]

maybe the ship just made them

[desert swallow]

I was going to release some gameplay, but then I got high (ohh, ohh)

[potent hull]

any way beeetle do you see the ark 2 game play coming soon of what we all read in there community crunch 345 to day

or no

[south lance]

hopefully soon

[astral token]

This is cheap roadside beer not sourced from a good place

[south lance]

im burnt out from the day so i didnt even realize this is ark2 content till 5 minutes ago

[potent hull]

👍🏻

[thick moat]

Soo they are showing us teasers that will lead up to gameplay this week? It's like when dlc got announced they showed the new dinos and items, HYPE

The brachio is so hypeee

[worldly garden]

👀

[worldly garden]

They never said gameplay this week.

[astral token]

“These are appetisers, we’ll drop some in the buildup to main course”

[thick moat]

Never said that

Should of put "starting this week"

To be more clear mb

[worldly garden]

Yeah it can be read different ways, I see that.

I'm thinking the "more regularly" may be something each week in the Crunch. Most likely concept arts going forward for a while.

[thick moat]

I have a feeling that the Ue5 thing will just be a cinematic to promo ark series and that's it btw

[thick moat]

Yeah for sure

[worldly garden]

I'd love them to do their Mysterious Mysteries again.

[tropic crag]

HELL yes

[mighty lion]

Brachiosaurus is a decent tease, glad they are starting to build hype

Hope the real size difference between that and the bront is applied.

[drowsy hamlet]

I mean the never did with the giga and the spino sooo

[mighty lion]

True

But if we could have decent size platforms on them, I think that would be cool. Especial if it's a permanent tame unlike the titanosaur

[drowsy hamlet]

Yes definitely I mean I am not really in to building on them platforms but would be cool to try out for ones

I really hope we getting beta version first

Sure hope so or we need our special armour of abberation lol

[lunar finch]

It's releasing in Early Access.

[drowsy hamlet]

Great it will be cheaper

I hope

[lime forge]

Ark 2 doesn’t take place on Earth.

So we will be alright

[wanton pike]

Not to pleased with a unfinished game tbh. But we have no choice then

[cinder solar]

Alr so I didn't know exactly what aloof meant

So I googled it

And what if the brachi's are going to be aggressive?

[drowsy hamlet]

Well shit man you better start running
