ark-2

[blissful perch]

OH rip

[ripe cedar]

So never

[prisma pike]

I can't wait to get aimbotted by a windows player first match on

[lavish rain]

Me being schitzo is what will get the message across

[blissful perch]

Ark PC PvP; more cheaters than good players

[prisma pike]

Only on PCs lol

But tbh that's a lot of popular games

[lavish rain]

A bottle of vodka

[prisma pike]

My friend joined a random lobby on mh rise and killed one thing and got set to hr 340 with all quests complete and full valstrax gear

[winged dome]

That's why I usually don't join randos until I'm at endgame myself

-bonk-

[zinc current]

Hi

[rancid harness]

Dying

[prisma pike]

Yeah probably

And another sotf delay

[mint swan]

Rawr

[fluid coyote]

Dino

[true drift]

have they shown even a glimps of actual game play yet?

[potent hull]

game play what is that lol

[stray elm]

Noooope

[tropic forge]

i call it 🤣, but do not frail i can see 2 more dino pics this month maybe next week maybe after so y'all can chew until next month

[split dove]

it's only been 3 weeks since the last one, could be next week if they mean every 4 weeks with ''monthly''

[tropic forge]

there's only 2 more weeks this month ence why i said "maybe next week maybe after" 🤣

[blissful perch]

Nobody mentioning the road map coming soon 👀

Also hell yes to a new insect

[split dove]

huh?

[blissful perch]

The CC mentions an ark franchise roadmap

[split dove]

''We're excited to announce that we'll reveal a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month.'' oh damm

Ark 2 sooner ish? 👀

[blissful perch]

What it means is we can at least see what the heck is going on

[lavish rain]

They just said that?

[blissful perch]

Read the crunch 😂

[lavish rain]

I did halfway

I read it until it said sotf was delayed

[split dove]

i even put it in quotes

[lavish rain]

Then I started planning my next hunting trip

[split dove]

gameplay ain't that far off then 🙏

[lavish rain]

I skimmed it

[blissful perch]

Well we should at least have a ballpark for WHEN gameplay comes

[tropic forge]

bet gonna be announcing on the road map ark 2 gameplay and later on after release a "brand new dlc coming up for ark2" 🤣

[lavish rain]

Well next month is still a ways off and it's still a 30 day period

[prisma pike]

I'm thawing my window rn

[split dove]

last month has kinda flown by fast

[lavish rain]

Fair

I'm gonna be hunting for 80% of this month

[vapid panther]

Considering they said next official news would be 'gameplay'... and now the next official news is 'roadmap' next month... could be a lot to unravel.

[tropic forge]

or not, could be about the new creature plus ark 1 to UE5 🤣

[blissful perch]

Oh uh they said gameplay wouldn’t be next for a while lol. That’s why we got concept art

[split dove]

only reason they're sharing more is bc they kept hearing people ask for more reveals, otherwise it would've been silence until gameplay

[blissful perch]

Transparency is always good

[split dove]

the only time i'm somewhat thankful for the crying part of the community. more ark 2 stuff

[vapid panther]

Maybe, but I took it as they were not ready for an official news release so they leaked some concept art to hold us over. Now they are ready to reveal a lot more of what the next few years will look like. I think we will be pleasantly surprised with amount (Animated series, Ark1 to UE5, new dino, gameplay, future path, etc) but a bit disappointed with overall timeline.

[winged dome]

Release date when
Gameplay when
Roadmap when 🍻

[iron sequoia]

Lmfao

[short fulcrum]

A development roadmap across all iterations of the ark franchise?
I hope this means we'll finally some news for ark mobile

Probably not tho

[blissful perch]

I think if someone told me ark 2 was mobile exclusive I’d transform into a salty ark general chatter

[winged dome]

Do you Bobs not have phones??

[blissful perch]

I’m not playing ark on a phone. Horrendous gaming platform for that

[short fulcrum]

Ark 2 will be a nintendo switch exclusive

[iron sequoia]

Mobile is a different company.
Let’s keep this channel on topic please.

[blissful perch]

Hmm. Does grove street games not have a role in ark 2

I was under the impression that collaboration was being considered for other ark games like ark 2

[short fulcrum]

Grovestreet games are co developing ark 2

[iron sequoia]

Is there a factual and legit source of this?

[short fulcrum]

Grovestreet did develop ark mobile but it's still owned by wildcard

[blissful perch]

Idk, that’s why I asked Lovely 😅

[livid cobalt]

Grovestreet now doesn't care abt mobile they moved on to switch

[iron sequoia]

Yea but grovestreet do there own thing basically with mobile
Wildcard don’t announce stuff happening with that

[short fulcrum]

The community crunch where they revealed all the ark 2 gameplay information

[tropic crag]

Yeah, I thought everyone knew that Grove Street were helping on Ark 2

[split dove]

That was clearly stated a while back

[tropic crag]

It was kinda one of the first pieces of info we knew lol

[past wind]

I would say a roadmap is more important than a gameplay. It’s transparency 100%.

[winged dome]

Nb4 Roadmap is just
Ark1 UE5: Soon™️
Ark Animated Series: Soon™️
Ark2: Soon™️

[lavish rain]

Yeah and it'll be at like end of the month 😂

[stray elm]

Like....'he's not wrong'

[desert swallow]

"Just an update on Ark 2, we will be providing a further update on Ark 2 in the future."

[potent hull]

and her a up date on the up date there no more up dates that is all i thank you 😂

[kind geode]

ark development rode map, maaaan ark 2 isn’t coming out any time soon 😂😂😂😂

[tropic forge]

might be another way of smoothly saying on the roadmap ark 2 ea for 2024

[tropic crag]

[rancid harness]

Gives me time to finish my Ark remixes before Ark 2 comes out I guess, if it really does get pushed back significantly.

[marble thunder]

By roadmap, are they saying date?
Or at least month of release date?

[sharp chasm]

when is release date?
I NEED ARK 2 😄

[chrome ibex]

as screwdiesel said at the end of genesis 2 "it will only get worse"?

[harsh spear]

its really not. theyve always delayed their releases so dates are meaningless from wildcard. seeing gameplay however isnt meaningless

[blissful perch]

A roadmap could simply say a list of what’s planned with no hard dates, and THAT is Illuminating

It may show us a DLC timeline, an early access timeline, or even just a basic “what stuff are we seeing before ark 2”

[harsh spear]

well they said that genesis 2 was their last paid DLC irc.

i hope the bastion beetle wins the creature submission contest. btw, have there been other creatures that were inspired from the community ?

[untold totem]

It lost lol

Anyways back to ARK 2

[winged dome]

🍻

[winged dome]

🍻

[wanton pike]

That dragonfly thingy won… the community is **** for that

[verbal wind]

i was hoping for beetle

[blissful perch]

*Ark 2 DLC

[ionic meteor]

Its gotta be one of the fridays atleast

I'm quite excited for this roadmap, I bet it'll have a lot of upcoming projects including something about ARK 2 and the UE5 for ARK

they might fill it with dates of when to expect concept arts aswell

[split dove]

most certainly Ark 1, Ark 2 and the animated series, i expect animated series the most as Jeremy said we wouldn't have to wait too long into the year for it

not everything has been limited to just Fridays, the anky concept art was shown on a tuesday, and the steam page with all other stuff that day on a sunday. that's the only few examples i could really find, but most of the time it's during a crunch

[ionic meteor]

As for the time of when this drops I'm not sure really, I thought maybe in a community crunch or maybe during the weekdays like you said

[ionic meteor]

Yes ARK 2 especially needs to be addressed, overall wildcard have a lot of projects that NEEDS to be on this roadmaps and dates for them

[split dove]

the most consistent time to expect something is always in the crunches, but they can always just drop something out when we don't really expect it 😅

[ionic meteor]

but I wouldn't expect exact dates maybe like: animated series season 1 spring, ARK 1 UE5 upgrade summer, animated series season 2 winter, something like this..

[tropic forge]

what it NEEDS and what you gonna get that aint up to you

[ionic meteor]

Its not up to me of course, its what everyone here wants anyways

[ionic meteor]

Wildcard sure have a track record of dropping unexpected news out of nowhere thats for sure 😂

[tropic forge]

and a track of putting dates just to delay over and over

[ionic meteor]

roadmap is the best thing they've decided to do so we know when we expect news

[ionic meteor]

Yeah.. well what can we do 😕

[tropic forge]

just be prepare for anything and always expect the worst that wait dosent bother you much when they fail... again

[obsidian rivet]

Is ark 2 more story based or more online multiplayer based? The trailer makes it seem nothing like the ark I know.

[split dove]

the cinematic trailer doesn't even indicate anything regarding gameplay, it's meant to introduce you to what ark 2 is gonna look like and the theme of the game (Primitive survival on a alien world). at most the story should normally be optional and at most like gen 2 during like world events and possible quests.

It's still gonna be a online multiplayer sandbox game like Ark 1 with both PvE and PvP. the same core design remains, while some new things are added and some mechanics are updated/upgraded.

[obsidian rivet]

Hooray

[split dove]

I hope more people read the steam page, as it's a good official source on what the gameplay will be like and what the new changes are gonna be, instead of these weird theories

[obsidian rivet]

I did but it wasn’t clear enough for me

[split dove]

the first cinematic trailers only kinda tell you ''primitive survival on a alien planet'', i get it can be a little confusing if that's the only thing you kinda see first. not as bad as some of the more ***extreme ***situations/theories we get here sometimes 😅

[cold locust]

Part of wildcards description for ark 2. For those who have not yet read it.

“With Ark 2, we’re seeking not only to enhance the game’s narrative and world-building, but also retouch and improve on all aspects of what constitutes an Ark game.

Foremost among these redesigns are the core player mechanics. In the sequel, which is third-person only, controls and movement for both players and creatures have been completely redesigned. Taking inspiration from game systems like Assassin’s Creed’s automatic parkour and Breath of the Wild’s climbing, player characters can now clamber over the environment in a more realistic and freeform manner. With a focus on primitive-era combat (Santiago and Tek have a complicated relationship…), Ark 2 draws heavily from Souls-like action for its human-scale combat: an emphasis on dodges, blocks, light and heavy attacks, combos, and player-reflex skill — a rarity for the PvP survival genre. For creature-scale combat, suffice it to say for now that when you attack something with your T-Rex in Ark 2, the results are visceral: the animation of the attack actually hard-impacts on the target (not “passing through” it), the victim’s flesh is torn, and the target physically reacts at that location to the hit – all to convey the feeling of the raw power of such a ferocious creature!”
You can find this very easily if look for it. 😁

There is also a whole bit on the dynamic event system too. It’s all great sounding stuff. Pvp, story, skill based combat, Dino’s that don’t clip through everything when the attack.

[lime flicker]

Exactly what I’m looking forward too

[untold ingot]

Emphasis on the Pvp survival. Because so many people still think ark2 is all pve

[winged dome]

Wait, Ark2 is gonna have PvP? /s

[split dove]

uhm yeah, even steam has it tagged with pvp so even the less intelligent can clearly see it /j

[south lance]

wonder if theyll cut down on lmb spam with creature combat to make the animation look better

[split dove]

i think they're gonna

[south lance]

i really hope they go further into the aesthetics

farming would be a lot nicer if it actually looked good

[covert tapir]

i like my rocks flying at 1000kmh when i harvest them

leave them be

[untold ingot]

Icarus farming in ark would be s tier imo

[astral token]

The average ARK player can’t read…-35 IQ bro…

[covert tapir]

wait is there only a pvp tag?

no pve?

[astral token]

You’re proving my point

[covert tapir]

haha xd

i just checked so i can read

just gained 60 iq

[astral token]

Good on u lol

[flint knot]

What if… no singleplayer??

That would suck ngl

[muted rose]

So when is it estimated to come out

[verbal wind]

🍻

[stray elm]

This year

That's it

[verbal wind]

maybe

[tropic forge]

did you care to check steam page before saying crap?

[flint knot]

Hm?

I said what if, I didn’t say it was true, sorry if that came off wrong

[split dove]

looking at the track record of many of the questions/theories about what the gameplay will be like in this chat, a lot of them only watch youtube videos that are in themselves wild theories (the steam page debunks almost all of them)

[desert swallow]

Will there be dinosaurs in this game like the last one?

[untold ingot]

Probably not really

It's all going to be mutant zombies in a turn based 4x set in the antarctic

[tropic crag]

Unironically sounds like a pretty pog game

[untold ingot]

Lol

[astral token]

People literally proving my point so nicely 😂

Even if my research wasn't peer reviewed you'd be hard pressed to prove me wrong

[untold ingot]

What

We were all being sarcastic lil

[astral token]

Not y'all

The guy who asked right after I told the previous guy to read 😂

[winged dome]

That was sarcasm too

[astral token]

.

[tropic crag]

Yes, that was hypothetical and/or sarcasm lol

[hallow wasp]

This is the best game I’ve played in 2024 yet

[harsh spear]

hogwarts legacy runs in unreal engine 4. cant wait to see how unreal 5 will look like. however i have concerns about the performance

[untold totem]

tbf it's not bad for a UE 4 game

given ARK (and ATLAS by extension) uses a modified earlier UE 4 engine

[south lance]

is wildcard gonna be making ark2 guys

[astral token]

I don’t think so

It was state in a tweet by a dev on 29th Feb, 2012

[south lance]

my friend told me that im making ark2

[astral token]

My friend said we’re getting the game next week

[past wind]

WC, what did you do? You broke these people.

[split dove]

''We're excited to announce that we'll reveal a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month.''

i wonder if we might still get something ark 2 related this month before they show the roadmap

[split dove]

they were already broken, they played Ark ☕

[past wind]

It was the element, my friend. They were good and intelligent people, but the element corruption happened.

[split dove]

can't wait for ''rockwell made the aratai'' to come back and give my brain severe dmg, even tho it's clear that they are the native humanoid species of Arat

[winged dome]

Or Arat is just some form of Mega-Ark built by Homo Deus when they realized humanity is F'd, and better off returning to Unga Bunga life

[hallow wasp]

I saw that aswell have a super hot take it’ll show the release date of UE5 and maybe ark 2

[split dove]

''We're excited to announce that we'll reveal a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month.'' very likely ark 2 will also be there

also highly likely animated series news as jeremy said we wouldn't have to wait too much longer into the year for more news

[south lance]

where this from

tweet in the last couple days?

oh its in community things

march come already 🙏

[split dove]

yh one sentence from crunch

[south lance]

i feel like itll be vague, like itll only include the absolute earliest certain things will come out

and said times will be either by month or by quarter

such a dev roadmap seems really risky to post

unless they are really confident with the progress ark2 is going through

wonde3r where the animated tv series is

[rotund stratus]

I just hope they delay ark 2 to get rid of the terrible third person idea....Really was hoping for ark 1 but improved in all aspects

[split dove]

likely not too far off as well, as jeremy did say we wouldn't have to wait long into the year for that as well

[split dove]

they already stated they won't, and that mods can bring it back. something built for third person only won't work well if you try to add a first person view as well. there are more benefits to third person you wouldn't even consider. some of the new and updated mechanics can only really work in third person

also @blissful perch 🍻

shifter, you ready to write down the advantages of third person of the top of your head?

[desert swallow]

1. if he was in third person he could see the top of his head

[rancid harness]

Advantages of 3rd person: 1. Better field of view for combat against multiple enemies
2. Fov for free climbing and parkour.
3. Enables lock on combat style for soulslike/zeldalike combat.
4. I can't really think of anything else lol

They really just wanted to change the on-foot combat in ark 2, and 3rd person is necessary for the style they want to use.

Ngl it's my favorite combat style too. Horizon, dark souls, zelda, arkham batman, etc.

[ionic meteor]

Yes 2. is the main reason why they went with this decision, I can't imagine a world where first-person and climbing & parkour work together it just.. doesn't

[south lance]

you cant actually know if you like or dislike third person without knowing how ark2 looks and plays like

like nobody would want third person in stuff like the isle i imagine

a lot of stuff you want, like peripheral vision, just doesnt work well with first person

and stuff like being able to catch stuff in the corner of your eye like you would if youre actually in the survival situation being described just doesnt work

so third person in a survival game might actually be more immersive than first

i spent like 30 seconds thinking about this dont bully me for it

[ionic meteor]

The great cost of third-person only: Immersion

[south lance]

immersion isnt just not seeing your character

because fundementally you cannot perfectly mimic what existing in a place irl is like on a screen

unless its vr

you are far more limited in perspective in fp than tp

works for horror games generally

[ionic meteor]

Maybe your right, we're just digging too deep into it but we haven't seen anything yet

it could be crazy or the opposite 🙂

[south lance]

the devs have a certain perspective on what they want their survival experience to be like

i think third person is likely a lot more cinematic

which might be what the devs want from ark2

a cinematic survival experience

[ionic meteor]

Yes more cinematic I agree here 3rd person offers that, look at jedi survivor did feels like your in a movie

[split dove]

shh, most can't really read or think. we can't expect them to think rationally

[south lance]

so when you get into fights, you might be more captured by the overall fight itself looking great rather than the experience of being inside the fight

[split dove]

or god of war 2018 and ragnarok

[ionic meteor]

I just hope the gameplay reveal won't break the ARK community and have it plunge into utter irreversable choas

[south lance]

i dont know why theyd choose this for survival since my own understanding of survival is at least somewhat mixed with horror, but i dont think the immersion part necessarily disappears due to perspective, unless you have a very specific idea of what ark should be like

[ionic meteor]

Another goated example

[south lance]

in which case if it goes counter to what the devs think, then their design decisions may make the experience less immersive to you

but as it stands we arent the only audience, ark2 might be aiming to garner a new audience as well

[split dove]

i played the pc version, third person there feels really immersive, combat is also ''souls like'' inspired by Dark souls and i had a hell of a blast with it

[south lance]

i wouldnt blame the devs for wanting a new population of players either....

[split dove]

let's be honest, it's somewhat needed if you look at these chats

[south lance]

i dont really care about the silly questions though, its mainly the way we normalize fucking your life over for this game

[ionic meteor]

Honestly ARK for me focuses more on sandbox than survival especially if you advance to endgame

[split dove]

keep the mentally insane to ark 1, and get a new following for ark 2

[south lance]

i dont know if the devs want that sorta playstyle anymore

maybe they wanted it at first, just as part of the freedom such a game as ark1 providees to everyone

or maybe they dont care about any of this at all which is most likely lol

[south lance]

yeah but when you play theres also what you feel during gameplay that affects this perspective irregardless if you have the freedom to create anything you want

and do wahtever you want alongside that

though a lot of the mechanics created in this game i think got heavily fucked over by how prevalent end game happened to be

everything that was designated early and mid game basically does not have use

that might be a large part of why devs dont care about the immersion you might get as a survivor bobbing around with the chance of dying at any moment to an unseen dino

cause that was never really what happened

what happened was everyone got on a wyvern and liked how the game looked aesthetically

everyone already spends most of their time in tp on a tame

and bases only really exist to hold stuff you need to go back to playing the game on your tame

, i think first person would only be useful if most people engaged with the early and mid game parts of ark1

[ionic meteor]

ARK 1's "primitive" AI ruined the potential for great immersion for its 1st person gameplay lol

[south lance]

i mean sure but you also arent engaging with what first persons immersive qualities are

which is largely needing to be aware of your surroundings

imo

you literally do not need to care about your surroundings after maybe 1 week of playing, because by then you already have the dinos needed to shrug off any attakc+kit

[ionic meteor]

but to have every dino to have a very smart AI could just obliterate your PC lol

[south lance]

except in pvp ig lol, but then your point isnt immersion, its competition and winning

in which case third person is just a straight upgrade to fov and fp is good for aiming

[south lance]

the ai is independent of perspective though

i will say that a dinosaur is a lot scarier on top of you when it takes up 90% of your screen vs 40%

(fp vs tp)

[split dove]

i guess the new ai will make up for the lost scare factor, with the smell, sound and sight based hunting. and not getting trapped as easily

[south lance]

i think fear will be more dependent on how things look

environment, sounds, creature models, and player death animations

[split dove]

Spikey

[south lance]

true lol

but we havent seen any aliens yet

their design patterns might be wildly different

[split dove]

besides aratai and leaf lizard

[south lance]

ya

how many jaws did leaf lizard have btw

4?

or 2

[split dove]

''Bada, what the hell are you talking about?''

i think just 1 jaw (the 4 combined)

[south lance]

it has 4

like jaw parts not mouths

ye

that might be a pattern we may see with the aliens

i really hope theres a lot of aliens that we just havent seen cause spoilers and they exist in cool new biomes

as it stands it looks like there isnt a lot of aliens

[lavish rain]

@split dove what was the it's time for

[split dove]

for shifter to join extinction for once

[rancid harness]

My guess is that earth's life forms will be much more of the dominant and terrifying creatures in the early/mid game, whereas the creatures of Arat will be more strange and small to start, and then later/endgame we will get some awesome Arati creatures.

[south lance]

i hope its not stratified like that since then earth dinos will be mostly useless

i dont really want the whole early/mid/end game system tbf, though if it does exist, your conception of aliens being end game is likely

and it is likely to exist tbh

i cant imagine a way to make every dino viable for the whole game

unless they decide to limit how many dinos will be tameable in game

wonder if theyll make more dinos that cannot be tamed but only fought/farmed

[hallow wasp]

I’m just curious on how big the map will be compared to ark 1 maps or if there’s a whole inner world area of the map

[split dove]

i think we can assume it will likely be gen 2 sized or bigger at launch

[glass zealot]

Ark 2 seems like trash ngl

[tropic crag]

So do the people who come here and say that without reason

[glass zealot]

I saw the gameplay

It’s not as immersive as 1

[split dove]

see, i told you the stereotype never lies

[tropic crag]

There is no gameplay, you are a troll

[glass zealot]

Well if u have friends at powerful places there is

[split dove]

you got friends at the mental hospital? 🤔

[glass zealot]

Funny

I would rather not share that information as it would put my friend at a tough Situation

[verbal wind]

pull the other one

[tropic crag]

Let me guess, you have an uncle who works at Nintendo too, and he told you that the next Switch game is going to be Mario + Rabbids: Excitebike Edition

[grim kestrel]

Stampede will happen we know of, another thing I'd like to see is snow area severe blizzards and avalanches that you have to watch for. Full detail inside and out volcano that can erupt and pyroclastic rocks that can land an entire biome away.

Highland\desert biome get more than just wind but a randomly spawned tornado

Redwoods concept would require a changing moon, but a biome hazard could be maybe pack creatures become more aggressive during a full moon move faster and in a constant pack of 4+ dealing 3x damage than normal

[verbal wind]

werewolves....

[past wind]

Not fit for you ≠ trash

[past wind]

All of this is already implement on Ark 1, including avalanches (genesis 1). Maybe they just need to improve on that regard.

[blissful perch]

the isle...IS third person tho

[blissful perch]

that's a certainty. Expect nothing less

[split dove]

even attempts of communication drive this community into uncontrollable chaos. that's how the community reacts to everything

[blissful perch]

you've never been chased by Rajang. @wispy sierra knows that fear in third person is quite easily felt

[blissful perch]

agree that it's better if tames are split into NICHES rather than progression levels

[blissful perch]

I mean that is a fair take, if it were true

but my guess is many people saying "trash" are gonna either become die hard ark 2 fans or are going to be upset at any new product because they aren't at the top of the ark 1 food chain anymore and lost their progress

[split dove]

or just simple ''change bad, i won't buy it''

[south lance]

meant first person oops

in your rajang point, itd be a lot scarier in first person

since you have less information to work with in reduced fov

[blissful perch]

you say that, but I'm pretty piss scared of Rajang in third person

[south lance]

youd be shat scared in fp

[blissful perch]

in third person you can see that your death is gaining on you ☠️

[south lance]

well, there is maybe the advantage of tp allowing you to see something get closer and closer but then idk if that is fear specifically or excitement

[blissful perch]

although yes horror is always better in first imo

however, I think the ensuing combat and movement to try to evade said danger in ark 2 will make up for the lost immersion when we shift to third person from first

[south lance]

its probably yrue that the decision for tp was not made around something like immersion and was mainly for combat

first person probably wasnt deemed necessary for many reasons stated above

so its a pretty easy decision

to just not implement fp

[untold totem]

despite me being "on the fence" against exclusively 3rd person (hell i play valheim and i didn't get immersed lol) ||and Vin Diesel|| i am still gonna buy ARK 2 because the RP scene in ARK is really really dead

it's either Red Dead, ATLAS, or GTA for the most part

[blissful perch]

Well third person is also mandatory for tame riding imo

[south lance]

yeah

and tame riding is majority of gameplay

[split dove]

unless you're a insane asylum inmate that always rides dinos in first person

[south lance]

or like close to half at least

the rest is just stuff that doesnt matter what perspective youre in

[untold totem]

mounted weaponry go brr

[south lance]

asides the few moments youre shooting somrthing

90% of player hours spent in tp is my guess

since why go into fp in your goofy ahh crafting station

oh wait to better access shit

cause aiming up close in tp is weird

[blissful perch]

I wouldn’t mind FP on tames if you didn’t have your vision obscured by the rex head and saddle

[south lance]

esp with how they offcenter your character with weapons and cryos

though the offcenter is necessary tbf

[blissful perch]

It would be cool to have formal siege engine combat

Non shit catapults or protected towers to breach Aratai/player forts

[south lance]

the dream is fighting people on 100 structure brontos

like pirates

but dinosaurs

i never knew i wanted this till now

[winged dome]

PotC3 At World's End maelstrom scene, but two Brontos circling eachother

[south lance]

like imagine paracer raiding parties tryna board a bronto platform

while trying to not get crushed

[south lance]

i do not know this

[blissful perch]

Lost oasis had a great idea. But man is this shit hard in practice

I almost wonder if that’s an eligible ark 2 DLC

[south lance]

was lost oasis the game with the mobile bases that chased each other

[winged dome]

Two pirate ships fighting while being sucked down a whirlpool, lots of boarding, swinging between ships and general piratey nonsense

Also, a marriage, because reasons

[south lance]

the things were like big wooden quadripedal machines

[south lance]

sounds fun

but i want to upgrade this by replacing ships with dinos

[winged dome]

Oh yeah, totally

[blissful perch]

The Dino’s need to be near immortal I think for it to work: but they do nearly 0 damage to anything mobile

[south lance]

i mean brontos should be hella beefy

im think like, its easier to disable than kill

maybe you need a very expensive rope system distributed across 4 smaller large dinos (like paracers) to disable

[blissful perch]

Near infinite damage resistance unless it’s by a “large beast killing tame” which would be slow and easily ripped up by smaller more mobile ones? I did suggest a similar idea

[south lance]

that coukd work

[winged dome]

Siege Counter roles

[south lance]

so a couple trained rexes

shredding its flanks

[blissful perch]

Cool concept for sure…the point I think we agree is that the mobile creature bases don’t work or make sense if you can just gimp it by killing the bronto

[south lance]

trying to avoid getting stomped

i think mine works better for not gimping

unless rexes can die to 1 stomp

so you need to time and bait out attacks

i think isle does this right

[blissful perch]

Disabling may be good, maybe even require a disable to do meaningful damage

[south lance]

dont dino attacks esp from large dinos do insane damage, so smaller faster dinos need to dodge and bait to fight or just run

[winged dome]

Disable reduces damage resist for a bit

[blissful perch]

That way the folks on the bronto have the ability to counter attack

[winged dome]

More damage done means easier disables, Monster Hunter style

[south lance]

hmm

[blissful perch]

Maybe, though I’m again worried about disables being “locks”

I think chaining disables would be really shit. But disables imo should be (much like setting one up) an objective for the bronto’s crew to achieve by cutting lines or killing a creature that’s casting the rope

[winged dome]

Maybe dealing damage (even if heavily resisted) opens up a disable opportunity

Disable reduces overall resistance for a bit, and starts a disable cooldown so they can't be chained

[lilac olive]

What’s the chat bout people tossing ideas here

[blissful perch]

I don’t mind the idea of setting up a trap or getting X “disable ropes” in position via tames and once complete you can disable

[blissful perch]

It’s about anything ark 2 (new ark game). Since news has been slim, we mostly talk about aspirations or game design ideas for ark 2

[winged dome]

Ark2 and clinking

[lilac olive]

Cool pitching ideas love it lol

[lavish rain]

Booze and ark

[blissful perch]

Clinking only if someone asks about release date or clearly dumb rumors we’re all used to hearing once a week minimum

[winged dome]

One a day is more accurate 😂

[split dove]

does ''third person and souls like combat'' also count for a clink?

[blissful perch]

It’s only a clink if someone says “is it third person only”

Honest questions about third person or souls combat gets a pass. I’m not a monster 😂

[split dove]

i just lumped them together as we commonly get questions about both of them

[blissful perch]

I mean if someone asks “souls like combat??” I’m down to clink

[split dove]

we almost had a 5 row bingo here with just one person earlier today

at least we got triple bingo

[blissful perch]

Aaaanyway. I wonder if what we were discussing about mobile bases and nomadic play is DLC worthy

Maybe DLCs can be 1.) ocean 2.) nomadic DLC across a scrubland/desert like SE

[past wind]

Are you the law enforcer around here? 🚔

[blissful perch]

Only for Lotus

But I do have personal clink standards 😂

[split dove]

no, you're his probation officer

[past wind]

That's a shame, I would tag you everytime anyone asked 💩

[blissful perch]

What’s a third DLC people would want?

[tropic crag]

A dedicated Aberration 2 😂

[blissful perch]

It would be cool to have a vertical heavy DLC/biome

[past wind]

Ark 2: tek is back guys!

[tropic crag]

Just trippy visuals and a really nice vertical cave system again and I'm sold

[blissful perch]

I deserve that answer but I beg WC no

[blissful perch]

I’d love to scale down a sunlit crater…maybe the area beneath that floating ring we saw in the trailer

[tropic crag]

That just gave me an idea, let me stew this one a bit

[blissful perch]

Depends a ton on the scale of the ark 2 map(s) tho. Maybe what I’m looking for is a singular biome

[lavish rain]

No you arent

[blissful perch]

Hmm maybe I do probation for others 😂

I will say I’d love DLCs (if they’re maps like ark 1) to sort of render other maps’s creatures useless

For example an ocean DLC would make most of the tames from a land based ark 2 map kinda uslesss…or a nomadic tames scrubland where small tames won’t get you far so you need to rely on tamed titan sized creatures to survive and thrive

[south lance]

it might be nice to add a large number of player interests in game without having those interests compete

but it does mean that a lot of maps will just not be fun to some players

though as it stands the goal is to make all maps fun, so this shouldnt be much of an issue

most people arent playing sandbox games for 1 mechanic

balance should be much easier too

since you are only dealing with 1 maps worth of creatures

instead of 5

[restive terrace]

ima say one thing. 1st AND 3rd person ark 2 :)

[fallow niche]

It's only 3rd, but can have a 1st person mod.

[untold ingot]

I like the idea of a verticality scaled biome.

Make it the size of ab, and stick it in a map 12x gen2 size

[lavish rain]

Are you trying to torture people?

[lavish rain]

How would a nomadic map work without being dogshit

[south lance]

you could make do with just 3 or 4 massive maps tbh

[south lance]

you just make it good

[blissful perch]

Yea the main mechanics being so different means it’s kinda like a fresh slate with the same general mechanics of ark 2

[lavish rain]

How so

[rotund grail]

Ark 2 and fast and furious release same day ???????

[south lance]

idk

[sacred blaze]

are any of the devs on rn?

[south lance]

why

[wispy sierra]

how

[tropic crag]

When

[lavish rain]

Who

[untold ingot]

It wouldnt work with ark1 metas. But there is a possibility that a good nomadic pve could work well.

[ripe cedar]

most players would want to have a base

having somewhere to return to and show off all that you have done is kinda how these games work

[untold ingot]

Mobile bases are possible in ark1(at least in pve at small scale) there is a chance that with the right mechanics they are even more possible in ark2

[blissful perch]

really small scale...especially since weight of storage units is now added to the tame

back when you could store infinite stuff on the back of a bronto, nomadic play was possible in pve...but now it's mostly a tiny scale meme

[untold ingot]

Yep. Although the biggest issue with weight comes because anything in ark takes a stupid amount of resources to do. If the number cost of items is less, then weight will be less, making it more possible

[blissful perch]

depends greatly on how much defenses weigh (not just the mats needed to craft something)

[untold ingot]

Well, it wouldn't work for pvp

And for pve, just have other dinos to defend

[blissful perch]

tbh weight should be 0 on nomadic tames

[vast bronze]

when will ark 2 realease?

[untold ingot]

Weight should always be a thing. And it's impact should be a bigger issue in ark2 than it was in ark2

[blissful perch]

nomadic tames really shouldn't behave like other tames. They should ride the line between creature and structure

[untold ingot]

Weight should be a thing for them though

[blissful perch]

Why? They’re already intensely constrained by their limited size

[untold ingot]

Because then it makes it too easy to carry a ridiculous amount of gear

It adds the same issue as tek gauntlets

[blissful perch]

I see that as a non issue

[untold ingot]

Instead of no weight, just use more tames and have better follow ai

[blissful perch]

Make them slow enough to be impractical as a normal material transport, or if base counts are limited that would also work

[unborn galleon]

Do we know how long exactly has Ark 2 been in development for?

[blissful perch]

No, and we’ll likely never know

[unborn galleon]

Any guess

[untold ingot]

Mobile bases should be less practical than stationary bases, because they can move lol. It makes them inherently more powerful

[untold ingot]

At least since 2020

[blissful perch]

They are also vastly constrained by size and are conspicuous, which makes them inherently way less powerful

It’s a clown take to say a nomadic base is going to be as strong as a fortified stationary base. There’s just less space to build on

[untold ingot]

If you have no weight limit they aren't practically constrained by size lol. Just put 12 vaults

[blissful perch]

That’s a massive constraint compared to the dozens you can put in any ark 1 stationary base

[untold ingot]

It'll be stronger than most fobs lol

[unborn galleon]

Wasn't it anounced 2020? Maybe since 2019?

[untold ingot]

Yeah, that's why I say at least 2020

[mint swan]

they need to update mobile

[blissful perch]

Mobile has essentially nothing to do with ark 2. Think of them as separate products

[untold ingot]

Mobile is not wildcard, nor is it ark2

[unborn galleon]

I read ark 2 was to release in 2021 and it moved I think they have a better idea now since the made the deal with xbox

I'd say May

[untold ingot]

Ark2 was always announced to release in 2022, they never said 2021

It's only been moved back once

[unborn galleon]

[mint swan]

ark my favorite all time game'

[unborn galleon]

I see so much vastness of things that can be done with Unreal 5 Is mind blowing. I watched a whole 20m of a fan remake of zelda today and another one of Venom/ star wars. Looks mind blowing

😆

[untold ingot]

It's a pretty massive leap. They used a lot more advanced math in coding it up lol

[tropic forge]

teaserplay?

[thick moat]

It's gonna be twice now most likely💀

[untold ingot]

It's only February lol

[thick moat]

Seeing what they are doing with ARK 1 makes me think otherwise.

Now that it's confirmed that the creature submission was for ARK 1 only makes it more likely that it's delayed

• UE5 + events kinda coming back

[ocean tendon]

cant wait to fight the dodogiga

[worldly garden]

Hopefully that will be cleared up next month if they provide a worthy roadmap.

[iron sequoia]

Yeah hopefully the roadmap gives us something we been looking for but it will also be a way to sneak in a delay or that

[unborn galleon]

I don't think the GPUs today are in par with what unreal 5 has to offer. The matrix gameplay thing the rtx 4090 runs it at like 50 fps maxed settings

At 4k 😆

[unborn galleon]

Any date for that road map news?

[ionic meteor]

Sometime in March, hopefully before late-march

[south lance]

you underestimate space efficient building

at least assuming this is just comparing bases that relatively few people will use

<=4

the main issue with mobile bases in this circumstance is usually certain structures just not being allowed rather than the structure cap itself

rafts are a kinda ok example of this

ive played in tribes where 10 people survived off 1 raft (not pc tho)

the weight limit should be extended for such creatures imo but infinite weight seems like it can cause issues

or just make the game not take so many resources to survive such that you, for instance, cant just survive for a couple days off 300 weight worth of stuff

this seems more important across pvp and pve tho

pve, i dont think it matters, weight locks just increase useless travel time (back and forth across same path)

[blissful perch]

I think what I underestimate is that said efficient building would make nomadic bases OP. I’m not so convinced it’ll be as strong as a base built with the same efficiencies but larger and/or more hidden

[south lance]

op may be a stretch yeah

id say problematic, since if it had infinite weight it can more or less indefinitely sustain a defense

not that the defense couldnt just be forcible destroyed

material caps dont usually determine fights i think

[blissful perch]

It would have the same sustain as a stationary base, but would have less space and thus be limited in that way. And it’s out in the open on an easy to see creature so you’re likely to get attacked more

I concede the way ark 2 PvP actually plays matters a ton

[grim kestrel]

The only issue I see with an easier way to play with a smaller requirement of resources is that also will help put the Alpha of the server where they need to be faster.

[blissful perch]

A large number of players will always outpace a smaller number: kind of a dead argument

[south lance]

alphas will already have access to tames allowing high speed

cause they have access to all playstyles as alpha

[grim kestrel]

Alpha isn't always number based, I've seen the Alpha tribe be run by one person before.

[blissful perch]

Is the server completely dead?

[south lance]

but, they do not have the ability to just start over again every time

[grim kestrel]

No, it was on official.

[blissful perch]

A populated official PvP server with a 1 man alpha?

[minor prism]

Lol

[split dove]

sounds about as likely as the chances of me becoming a millionair

[chilly osprey]

Or a really good cheater.

[blissful perch]

Thank you for sanity checking me lol. I was about to question everything

Even Vindiago needs his family to be alpha

[split dove]

Vindiago is the planner/leader, and the others are breeders and resource farmers

[blissful perch]

*kit farmer. But I’m sure he’s got homies at base gathering mats for him

[split dove]

he's raising his daughter to be a insider

[humble onyx]

I know it won't but it would have been amazing if ark 2 creatures had procedural animation

[blissful perch]

You say that but I’m not sure it would be good

In a game where hit and hurt boxes are extremely important you kinda want to know what sort of movement is going to happen…procedural animation works great for immersion but imo in any context where your character control is really important that animation style becomes a drawback

[unborn galleon]

Where did they say this though?

[ionic meteor]

In the last community crunch

[south lance]

next month they said

[unborn galleon]

Community crunch 348?

[humble onyx]

Not to mention its incredibly hard to code

I meant the procedural animation mainly for the creatures but yeah

[past wind]

The last one, not sure about it’s number.

[past wind]

I hope they focus on performance this time. Anything not so important (like animations) shouldn’t be implemented.

[untold ingot]

Procedural animation seems like a very resource intensive animation style to have on every Dino in the game

They need to cut back on excessive resource draw in general, not add to it lol

Ue5 is already going to be tough to make work on everyones machines

[past wind]

People think UE5 is the holy grail, but it has it’s constrains. If Wildcard doesn’t pay attention to performance, Ark will perform as bad as Ark 1 (with better graphics of course).

[untold ingot]

It kind of is a holy grail of sorts, but it requires much more attention to detail and performance checks than Ue5 did

Most of the performance problems come from lumen though. Maybe there will be a way ingame to turn thst off 😅

[past wind]

I mean, some people think their gtx 1650 will run Ark 2 @ Ultra 4k 60fps just because unreal engine 5. 😂

[untold ingot]

I mean, they will be lucky to hit the fps numbers they get in ark1 really

[past wind]

That’s my point. The engine performs better, but Wc will use this performance improvement on new features and better graphics.

I just want them to take care of cpu bottleneck scenarios.

Like massive bases with hundreds of Dinos

If they find a way so we won’t see fps tanking on this scenario, I will be happy.

[untold ingot]

Yep, it will make official basically unplayable again lol. Although, even if Ue5 lived up to people's expectations, they would still find a way to drop fps to single digits in bases lol

[ionic meteor]

RIP old gen consoles

[untold ingot]

It is possible that if the dinos don't inherently react with lumen that nanite could find a way to make things load better

[untold ingot]

I mean, if you still use an old Gen console, work on getting a new gen one. That's just how console works

[lavish rain]

With enough determination you can do it

[ionic meteor]

Thankfully I have a new one, thank god ARK 2 won't be on old gen consoles

the less platforms the easier to roll updates

[untold ingot]

I mean, I was a 1 man alpha on 1x for about a month or so

Hopefully most of the main code base is cross-platform with minimal changes needed to update per.

But that won't really impact performance, it'll just delay updates if they don't do that

[past wind]

You can do the bases maintenance this way, but as soon the enemies know that, you would be done.

[untold ingot]

Yeah, it takes some really really efficient farming for weeks with no one finding you to make it work

You really have to nolife it, but it's possible

[past wind]

Man, Ark official drains players lifes. I really hope they found a way to make it less demanding.

By less demanding I mean we can take some time away without losing it all

[untold ingot]

You can't really for pvp, without limiting the playtime per day by force

[past wind]

Maybe safe zones (pve) would help

A zone you can at least save some stuff on the cloud (limited amount, of course)

[untold ingot]

Not really, as long as pvp is based on battles of attrition, the no life wins 9/10 times

[past wind]

I know, I just want a way to keep it safe the most important stuff, when you need to take some time away.

Like a safe house where you are able to upload a certain number of items to the cloud

[untold ingot]

I mean, if playstyle changes dramatically, and becomes more like rust or tarkov that could work a bit maybe

But personally, since I have left official pvp I am more concerned that the pve is hard lol

[past wind]

I don’t like any of those 🤣

Maybe just keep it the same way then

[untold ingot]

Well, there are certain elements in both that make it so you don't have to constantly be on like ark1

The only other way to play that doesn't require loads of hours per day is to join a big tribe.

[past wind]

I left official pvp before extinction, then I kept playing on unnofficial pvp servers and since 2020 I’m exclusively playing unnofficial pve severs. But I would like to play official pvp again.

But I don’t intend to dedicate as much time as I did back in 2015-2018

[untold ingot]

Yeah, it'll be rough though. Right on launch it'll be the same crowd as ark1, in the same groups. Without some significant changes to gameplay it'll end up the same

[past wind]

True

Bldx vs something

[lunar crane]

In all likelihood Ark 2 will launch as well as Atlas, you're delusional if you think otherwise.

[ripe cedar]

Going off their track record yeah, but im on a shit ton of copium/hopium

[unborn galleon]

"roadmap.png
We're excited to announce that we'll reveal a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month. "

So depressing. How hard is it to say the word ARK 2

That's the most intentional confusing announcement I ever read

😆

[lavish rain]

The roadmap:
Sotf features coming soon
Ark 2 coming soon
Ark animated coming soon

Prepare for my drug induced rant when that drops

[worldly garden]

How is it confusing? It's a roadmap for the entire ARK franchise, not just ARK 2.

[split dove]

''a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month'' kinda obvious it isn't only ark 2, as it will likely contain for Ark 1 on UE5, the animated series, Ark 2 itself and maybe Sotf

[unborn galleon]

The entire ark franchise. U mean the already almost over ark 1

😄

And the anime series xd

[lavish rain]

How do we fastforward this

[split dove]

don't give a shit about the weeks and it will feel faster

[worldly garden]

ARK 1 (there's more to come), ARK 2, Animated, tSotF.

[astral token]

I’ll be dead by then

[unborn galleon]

I don't want more to come for ark 1 the game should already be over as buggy as it is. Slapping unreal 5 on it will make it even laggier

[astral token]

Alr under so much stress rn

[unborn galleon]

Trust my words

[astral token]

I gave my exam submitted by script and literally lost the fucking question paper

It’s tough

Atleast I’ll get to see some ARK II news before I go

Xd Xd

[worldly garden]

I trust your words as much as I trust a Wildcard release date. 🤣

[unborn galleon]

It's just common sense. An already super laggy game with a bunch of bugs slapping unreal 5 on top of that. If you were getting 50 fps now u gonna get 25

😆😆😆

[untold ingot]

Well, see I guess jaja

They made ark1 for switch so maybe they can

[nova junco]

Don't worry you will have time to retake the class, graduate, get a job, and retire before ark 2 comes out

[desert swallow]

This is a great example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Trust my words.

[unborn galleon]

Already did all this and still not out

Had a kid and everything

Ark 2 not out yet Xd

[lavish rain]

I will become president before ark 2 drops

[covert tapir]

by the time ark 2 drops presidents will no longer be politically accepted

[potent hull]

sow will this rod map for ark ark anime and ark 2 next month help us to no more on ark 2 or will it be no good

[split dove]

''a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month'' kinda obvious it will include not only ark 2, it will likely also contain news for Ark 1 on UE5, the animated series, Ark 2 itself and maybe Sotf

[potent hull]

but will we get the new we need on ark 2 or will they still give us smile news on it

[split dove]

very likely to be the news we need leading up to the gameplay trailer with a rough date down the road

[potent hull]

i see hop we get big new on ark 2 in it ty

[lavish rain]

🤨

[nova junco]

Yeah, but I feel like roadmaps are for games that release with no content and devs do it to appease a pissed off fanbase. Also what is there to roadmap for ARK 1, I thought besides UE5 and the new creature we were done with that? And what are they going to roadmap for ark 2? The release date lol?

[worldly garden]

Well people rightfully thought ARK 1 was done... until they announced UE5 and a new creature, so not sure why people would still think ARK 1 would be done after that. As for a roadmap for ARK 2, i guess they could talk about what their plans are for the gameplay reveals and the games release. But yeah difficult to get a grasp of what else they would actually mention in a roadmap for ARK 2.

[steady vale]

call it sucking down pure copium but hopefully ark 1 roadmap is just to let the die hard fans know the game will receive little updates and what have you to keep them happy and not sit there saying they dont care about ark 1 community blah blah blah then onto hopefully bigger and better things and less secrets cause right now its like trying to decipher the da vinci code when anything ark 2 related is brought up

[humble onyx]

Hope they fix grappling hooks because they are buggy as he'll and kinda break physics

[hallow wasp]

In ark 2 I imagine a rope with a hook at the end of it to help traverse mountain areas in place of grappling hooks

[stray elm]

I hope it has physics akin to Atlas, then just reeling you in

[nova junco]

Could you imagine if they put "Official Server Wipe" on ark 1's roadmap the chaos it would cause 😂

[blissful perch]

Roadmaps are to increase transparency and level expectations. There’s not much more to them

[devout dust]

any1 know release date for ark 2

[potent hull]

show your new game shifter is call looking for ark 2 news game one of 1 lol

[split dove]

still just 2023

[winged dome]

🍻

[blissful perch]

The roadmap can be super basic and just show an ark 2 release date…OR it can show other elements such as gameplay trailer dates perhaps a plan for content releases during early access, etc. Roadmaps vary wildly in detail

[split dove]

imo i think it's gonna be option number 2, if we're still getting more concepts before the gameplay after the roadmap is revealed. i think the first thing will be concept and tdibit dates, then the gameplay with a possible release date/period in the trailer

[blissful perch]

It boils down to what WC knows about their own planning and what they want to share

[split dove]

guess we will see next month, kinda hoping we're still getting some tease this month

[blissful perch]

I’d rather see fewer items and more dates but that’s wishful thinking

[split dove]

to each their own, i'd be fine with something this month and some general timeframes for other stuff like gameplay, etc with the roadmap reveal

[past wind]

Dates > Everything else

That's the reason I liked they decided to publish their roadmap

[blissful perch]

Dates that aren’t met are worthless

So if they don’t have dates they can reliably meet I’d rather see more of their plans (IE longer term goals and whatnot)

[past wind]

Well, there are trailers that aren't met too

😂

[past wind]

That's part of the roadmap, let me rephrase it Roadmap > Everything else

at least we will know what to expect and when

[blissful perch]

Ah yes then

Now they didn’t say when we’d get that..,but in the next couple of weeks would be very cash money

Maybe in the long awaited gameplay trailer we can see a new alien 👀

[untold ingot]

I would much rather see what is planned than see a release date. The game industry in general is very bad with hitting dates, so I feel like it's not as important lol

[desert swallow]

Software development is really hard to estimate.

I've worked on countless projects and no matter what method of estimation is used it never pans out.

But they jumped the gun I think in letting us know about the project.

[untold ingot]

Yeah, you can't really time software, because there could be any number of complications that you don't know about before

[lament zinc]

99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs, take one down, pass it around, 112 little bugs in the code...

[lofty island]

Will ark 2 be available on Ps4

[fallow niche]

Nope. If it does come to PS, it'll be next gen only.

[lofty island]

Damn that’s frustrating so I have to buy an Xbox or a pc

[fallow niche]

If you want it at launch, yes. Gamepass on Microsoft (next gen or the pc version) or Steam.

[untold ingot]

Or wait a year and maybe they'll open it up

[lofty island]

Damn

[astral token]

I don’t even have a valentine 💀

[mint swan]

Im your valentine

[astral token]

No. I have chosen this life of singleplayer

[smoky rose]

Just hope its gamepass

[smoky rose]

Im with you bro

[winged dome]

'I'm not lonely, I'm playing Singleplayer'
Thats my new excuse explanation 😂

[untold totem]

I am not lonely

I have AI for friends

[chilly osprey]

I know I'm going to try and imprison an Aratai for company in ark two.

[neat bough]

ark 2 coming out in 2028

or is it 2027

[untold ingot]

3284

[south lance]

ark 2 is coming out tomorrow i dont know what yall are smoking

[elfin pumice]

it already came out actually, but wc doesnt want to tell us

[harsh spear]

sigma balls

[hallow wasp]

funny

[toxic sparrow]

It will come out on pc right?

[lime forge]

Ark 2 has been finished for months. Snail Games just wants a head start before they release it to the public.

[toxic sparrow]

So it’s coming this year?!!!??

Also it gonna be on pc?

[lime forge]

It will be on PC and as far as we know it will be 2023. Hopefully a road map soon. As for my first comment I was just talking shut.

[split dove]

Pc and Xbox series x/s timed launch exclusive. Playstation will likely get it later due to Sony not liking early access games on their platform and the timed exclusive deal with microsoft and Xbox.

As Paddy said we might know more about a date for the gameplay trailer and early access release with the roadmap that's being shared next month

[lavish rain]

Damn, imagine talking shut

[safe loom]

I gotta wait till atleast 2024 to get it because of that stupid deal they made with Xbox 😡

[split dove]

sony is also partly to blame for them only allowing early access games up to a certain time period (2 years i think). we and the devs won't really know how long it will take for Ark 2 to get out of early access, even on Ark 1 it was like this without a timed exclusivity deal, with Playstation launch being closer to ark 1's launch out of early access

[uncut cypress]

Will ark 2 be available in PC4?

[lavish rain]

What

[uncut cypress]

Is there pc4 available?

Ark2

[split dove]

No, nor will it ever be on ps4, if/when it comes to playstation it will only be PS5. we and the devs realised that the ps4 and older consoles will hold Ark 2 back and make it worse than if it's just pc and next gen consoles only. (it's time to move on from previous gen consoles so the game industry can move forward and advance)

[winged dome]

🍻

[past wind]

He’s asking about pc4, I’m still using a pc1. I hope pc1 will be compatible.

[split dove]

they haven't even announced the pc2 yet, i'm scared i will be dead before the pc3 drops

[past wind]

I hope the pc4 can run Ark 1 @ 1080p 60fps

[split dove]

Ark 1 in UE8? 🍺 on the pc4?

[lavish rain]

You guys are mad

Clearly there will be ark 2 on UE14 for the Xbox series 廢話

It's gonna be 16k 400 fps

[potent hull]

ue 5

[winged dome]

It is kinda crazy how far games have come in the past 30 years or so

[blissful perch]

You mean from pong to ark?

[winged dome]

Not just Ark, but like full 3d environments, lighting and shaders, ect

[blissful perch]

It’s been a ride for sure. Ofc there’s the looks side and there’s the function side

Usually function has been way ahead of looks but now im starting to think it’s the other way around. You can make beautiful settings and animations but there’s a lot of games that haven’t figured out how to make them come alive through functional gameplay

[lavish rain]

How do we make ark great

[split dove]

we get rid of stat mutations

[bright pulsar]

no sir

[lavish rain]

What else

I was asking shifter

[blissful perch]

It’s not like you haven’t read my messages here

I’ve been pretty open about my thinking about ark’s design

[blissful perch]

Best crowd to pitch that to is the people not playing ark 1 after seven years looking for “more to do” 😂

[lavish rain]

Do it again

[lavish rain]

Not much

[blissful perch]

But that takes effort

[lavish rain]

Somthing you've never experienced

[tropic forge]

i still remember playing whit little squares and having a blast back then 🤣

[rose crater]

More drugs

[blissful perch]

Wait when did lotus make an alt

@split dove is is 🚔 time?

[lavish rain]

Finally, a likeminded person

[rose crater]

Ketamine in ark when?

[lavish rain]

I prefer cocaine, but I'll make it happen

We want drugs! (As stupid as I sound rn)

[split dove]

🏃‍♂️ 🚓 🚓 👮‍♂️

[rose crater]

I can just imagine rex's running away from a drugged out beach bob just frothing at the mouth

[blissful perch]

Ok but that’s just normal ark players

[rose crater]

Average ark youtuber "beating ark scorched earth with nothing but a slingshot"

[blissful perch]

Unless you think those tintoberries aren’t drug free 👀

Something has to be enabling 300% movement speed is all I’m sayin

[rose crater]

Im just saying there is something in the mejoberries that make herbivores like them more

[lavish rain]

I could solo the overseer on cocaine

[rose crater]

One cracked out deinonychus taking on alpha dragon

[blissful perch]

In ark 2 the only difference is that the Dino’s won’t be born yoked up

You gotta administer the drugs directly

[rose crater]

Hopefully more immersive taming, last time i knocked out a random dog and shoved treats up its ass it didn't like me so much

[lavish rain]

Blood extraction syringes have a new use

[mint swan]

who here thinks itll come out in 2024

[south lance]

its coming out on family day

[lavish rain]

Family guy confirmed for ark 2?

[south lance]

yes

hey louis i just burned down a thatch hut

[split dove]

''Peter, the Aratai are here''

[lavish rain]

We feed Meg to the aratai

[winged dome]

-Fights giant chicken for half the episode, for no reason-

[past wind]

You used the wrong kibble

[past wind]

Ernie has its reasons

[rose crater]

Noted, I'll try again shortly

[lavish rain]

That's the only enjoyable part of the show

[winged dome]

I've only seen like 5 episodes and that happened in two of them 🤷

Good to know nothing good was missed 😂

[grave python]

get rid of dragon neck teeth

[winged dome]

Dragon neck teeth?

[grave python]

there is a bunch of teeth growing out of the top of the dragons neck. unlike the sarco they still haven't been fixed in the main game

[winged dome]

Oh, the boss model, gotcha. Yeah, a few creatures have some oddities, like Yuty's double teeth

[lavish rain]

Gotcha??!?! Guys gachas confirmed for ark 2!!?!?!?!?!

[winged dome]

Confirmed! New leak details emerge!

Like, comment, subscribe for more bleeding edge Ark2 updates!

[hallow wasp]

Where do u see this

[worldly garden]

🤣

[winged dome]

There was a leaked screenshot posted, but deleted super quick

But don't worry, I'm working on a 40 minute YouTube breakdown on how this'll change Ark2 forever

[grim kestrel]

I'm not opposed to having Gachas return it was one of my favorite ways to see what equipment they would drop off their back when feeding them higher end food

[worldly garden]

It's not real.

[winged dome]

Nah, it totally is!

Promise!

[hallow wasp]

Assumed so

[marble thunder]

It would be so cool, to have ARK 2 release in June! (perfect timing, it is the moment of the year where I should have the most free time)

What would be your "perfect timing"?

[hallow wasp]

Right now

[marble thunder]

Well, bad news, it's not coming tomorrow.
At last few months of waiting still.

[lavish rain]

Not june

Maybey like octoberish

There is no perfect timing for me 😂

But I actually do things with my life during the summer, so definently not then

[ionic meteor]

Fall is by far the best time to release any type of game

september till october is always stacked with bangers

but I don't think wildcard really cares for these release dates as a marketing thing its more of when the game is ready it'll release, even if its the worst time to release it

for example big titles avoid other big titles releasing in the same time, I could see ARK 2 releasing around the release of another AAA game and not be affected

[winged dome]

Then there's Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing

[marble thunder]

Keep in mind that nothing is really 100% finished, 100% perfect, bug free, feature complete or whatever.
They're planning to release it as "Early Access", so that by itself means "it's not ready", so it's still marketing to decide the date of release.
I have some hope that the game currently is already "playable" in a way that most basic things are already implemented.
They still don't want to release as they might change the gameplay drastically day to day, they're still exploring I guess, that's probably why we're not getting a gameplay trailer.

[grim kestrel]

This is what I want all game companies to do

[marble thunder]

deciding when the game is "ready" is already marketing.

such a thing does not exist

[blissful perch]

A coherent and aware comment 👀. Welcome to the chat

[grim kestrel]

I could care less about hearing a release date until it it 100%, they could wait until the month before to give a release day.

The only thing I think should happen on reveals is screenshots, gameplay, etc. Release dates should not be given until there is 100% certainty that going to be the date

[marble thunder]

Yeah agree.
If they give a date, it must be respected, no delay or whatever. 👍

[blissful perch]

I don’t want to see gameplay until it’s out of flux state and has been tested and approved by WC. I pray they don’t rush it

[grim kestrel]

If the date never given, then a delay technically never has to happen, they just work on it until they know it ready

[lime flicker]

I’m playing path of titans in the mean time to get my dinosaur fix, but I can’t wait for ark 2 I know the devs are putting their heart and soul in it ❤️ at least I hope

[grim kestrel]

Gameplay is an important part of development cause it gives people something to look at and review as the public and developers can find out issues they may otherwise never see.

[blissful perch]

A reveal is the wrong place to do it

As soon as it’s revealed, expectations are set by the consumers (us)

You QC this stuff internally and privately as much as you can, then release a stable product you intend to improve upon after getting community feedback in early access. It’s always more rocky to make wild changes to the basic gameplay (sometimes it’s required) after people have an idea and expectation for what a game is

[grim kestrel]

That a consumer issue, and I'll use @lime flicker post as a perfect example. Path of Titans shows off everything prior to release and it is really helping shape that game.

Actually it the logic of only seeing gameplay footage as a "reveal" you have specified is the problem with how people think about game play footage. They only see it as a reveal not an opportunity to critic and report back to the developers.

Gameplay is basically an unofficial testing phase.

[blissful perch]

Path of titans already exists, so showcasing new additions to existing gameplay is a safe bet

Gameplay trailers as unofficial testing for an unknown and unplayed game is clown technology. You can arm chair critique something for ages and it have low relevance to how actual gameplay looks and feels

It’s useful to gauge general interest and knee jerk reactions for marketing and the like, but it’s not going to provide any relevant feedback on actual mechanics

[grim kestrel]

Gameplay footage is no different than Chefs working on new dishes and setting up a taste test for people to try what they are coming up with.

Game play footage is where you have an opportunity to look at a game especially one that a sequel so anyone who played the first can look specifically for certain things they see that were an issue in the previous game.

If you want an example that not out already I'll use WWE 2K23, when 2K did their invite out to early build play and it was allowed to be streamed with restriction of not showing the menu of the game. I noticed a few things as a few other people I know noticed stuff I didn't and we all went to 2K's forum/support to make it known as probably did the Youtubers that were invited out to play were able to talk directly with 2K employees

So saying using game footage as PR is clown technology just sounds ignorant as all hell, but I'll stop here before we get to far

Yes, Ark 2 will have cross platform modding

It is

Well we won't know when PS will get it. The original release is going to be a timed exclusive for PC and Xbox

[stray elm]

We don't know

[split dove]

i hope it doesn't tbh, less platforms is my go to besides pc and xbox/ps

[stray elm]

We know almost nothing about the game.

[grim kestrel]

PC Part Picker is a good place to look at building one

I think they ship out globally, PC Part Picker uses multiple retailers to find the cheapest of a specific product. It not a store in it self as much as it is an entity to finds stores that sell PC parts. I could be wrong as I don't know if it works for you

[lavish rain]

[winged dome]

Kinda doubt Ark2 will be on Switch

[split dove]

i hope it isn't held back by weaker tech/consoles tbh

[grim kestrel]

I could see it being similar to how they did it for Ark 1, they only get the base map. Switch only recently got more than The Island

But I wouldn't hold my breath since Ark 2 is being built to be released in a timed exclusive for PC and Xbox Series X/S because switch definitely doesn't have the capability to keep up with the X/S lol

[lavish rain]

Am I better at Texas holdem then an aratai?

[grim kestrel]

Texas Hold'em is my game

[lavish rain]

Are you better than an aratai

[grim kestrel]

I might catch flak for this, but who aratai?

[split dove]

-__- seriously?

[lavish rain]

...the npc orc looking mfs in ark 2

[grim kestrel]

Ah

[lavish rain]

Will you beat an aratai at Texas holdem

[split dove]

i will beat an aratai with fisticuffs until it runs away in shame

[grim kestrel]

🤷‍♂️

[lavish rain]

They are hellmuth difficulty

[split dove]

even better

[lavish rain]

What?

[split dove]

the bigger the challenge, the bigger the humiliation they receive when i beat them with fisticuffs

[lavish rain]

Hellmuth would be easy difficulty

[lavish rain]

Unless tek fisticuffs no

[lavish rain]

You are playing and whoever wins gets to own the planet

[potent hull]

we need ark 2 we need ark 2 Flobs go hunt us a ark 2 bring it to us all lol hi

[split dove]

[potent hull]

what i mean is ark 2 is a rare dinosaur that only flobs can hunt it down bring it to us

[split dove]

expect me to have some possible result next month

[potent hull]

i hop we see a game play for ark 2 or a date and time for ark 2 game play or a date for ark 2 ether or

[split dove]

i think at best we get a timeframe for the gameplay wich may have ''this period'' as a release window message at the end

could also be way wrong, but we won't know until the roadmap arrives

[potent hull]

well we all no that when ark 2 date for it to com out is shown to us the game will be com out for Pre order that is way there are no date for some game that are coming out

[blissful perch]

Thank you for proving my point. Early gameplay works if people can play the game

[potent hull]

i am still whating on the new dance is call it time to get shifter lol i joke

[blissful perch]

🚔

[split dove]

🏃‍♂️ 🚓

[potent hull]

i see you are all doing the shitfter dance all ready lol

[split dove]

no, that's the lotus exercise

[potent hull]

lol

[blissful perch]

I can’t imagine a world where any meaningful mechanical feedback is acquired from a gameplay trailer though. Given it seems you agree that’s a good sign. I hope WC instead is able to show off some of the more controversial changes between ark 1 and 2 and get a litmus test of how the community likes the broader changes

[potent hull]

her a thing what if the delay of the game cming out what them puting First-person back in to the game that what i hop it was if not a lest tell us what want wrong for them to delay it if they do it a gen game that is

[split dove]

Third person only was mentioned the same day as the delay, so that isn't why they delayed, everything from the steam page was revealed the same day as the delay. i think it was to take full advantage of UE5 and polish it up better i think

[blissful perch]

Or add more content/detail

[potent hull]

got in

[split dove]

yh, i think that aswell so the launch has more content, is better polished and can take more advantage of UE5

i guess we might know more next month

[winged dome]

Fingers crossed

[humble onyx]

Hope they used tools from 5.1 as that allows for nantites to render in much more detail of far away sprites and requires alot less processing power

[split dove]

not entirely sure, but i think someone asked Cudacores if they're using 5.1 and he responded with ''yes'' on one of his twitter posts

[humble onyx]

Oh nice

[split dove]

he doesn't post that much, so shouldn't be that hard to track down

found it
-Does it use unreal 5.1? You can answer by just liking?
-Cuda: It does indeed

From this tweet:
''It pains me to see my peers posting so many cool videos and images of the stuff they are working on with cinematics, #UnrealEngine5, and new mocap technologies... unfortunately I can't post the things I am working on, but rest assured ARK2''

[potent hull]

you no flobs we all no game tack long to be made and that the same for up date to games to but some players are just do not think how hard it tack to make a game from the first part to the end game but we the players waiting on ark 2 no how hard it it waiting to get new on games

[lavish rain]

Rest assured ark 2

[winged dome]

Rust ensured Ark2? Could competing franchises work together for a better game tomorrow Soon™️?

[potent hull]

i will gladly pay you Tuesday for ark 2 to day

lol

[humble onyx]

Honestly hope the structure mechanics on servers will be like that of rusts because otherwise you just have empty structures blocking people's way and it's stupid, ugly - ruins scenery with the absurd amount of structures, and just annoying because of resources not spawning around them and that there are so many.

Actually being able to rebuild, repurpose and live in abandoned buildings would be nice

[blissful perch]

On the one hand that’s not bad but on the other I’m guessing it’ll be an issue to need to manually clear out every single structure piece in some cases

[tropic crag]

He means like a tool cupboard, a structure you put mats into to maintain your structures and/or claim on the land

Which we've discussed at length lol

[grim kestrel]

This would help reduce mass land grabbing too, so I'd be all for that

[nova junco]

A decay tc system would be awesome, if big tribes want to build a million turret towers and a huge base they would actually have to maintain them lol. Gas and element is easy to farm

[clever bobcat]

Rust is literally a empty base wasteland

[tropic crag]

The bases decay, so uh, no, it literally isn't lmao

[hasty oak]

3rd person only? Oh😕

[hasty oak]

Today i went in ark server for the 1st time, to check it out. It was one old pve server and damn i couldnt place anywhere cuz ppl placed stuff there on purpose

[untold ingot]

I am betting it was official lol

[hasty oak]

Correct. Ping was a bit bad cuz it was delaying a lot and around 40k days old i think

I mean in game probably

[untold ingot]

Yeah, you have to really pick official pve servers well. Kind of shop around lol. There is a lot of people. That play on them, so a lot of ground is covered

[hasty oak]

I used to play servers before, but only those that i made myself for my friends and me and occasionally some random people that joined. It was pretty fun. Gave away sarco lvl 450 to some random dude who joined and he was really happy. Also that was the day that i learned.... Dinos above lvl 450 will just despawn, happened to the griffin. Not sure how i got him that high but it was on phone with god console and those premium taming items xD

[hasty oak]

Oh and on server today, well one guy had huge base and i got in somehow, but eh i mean nice tames but really all i was looking for was some place to build hahah

[dark anchor]

How about you guys start ark when you finish ark 1

Cant even keep your servers up

Good job fucking wildcard

[worldly garden]

🤦🏻

[split dove]

yh, some of the new and updated mechanics wouldn't really work that well in first person. like souls like combat and the new player traversal systems. we already play a lot of time in third person on dinos. imo Third person is fine as long as the camera view is good.
Don't really get why people say it's gonna be bad without any gameplay yet, as that should be the main proof on what it will look like.
First person view was never what ark 1 was about, the core of Ark was always Survival, exploring and fighting dinosaurs/other extinct creatures and alien esc beings

[hasty oak]

Dont get me wrong but its nice to have more options. I agree on 3rd person view when it comes to dinos, especially flying ones. But its just completely different experience on foot in 1st person, idk if its just me but i do pay attention to those kind of details. I used to play fair share of 3rd person games and a lot of 1st person games, tho sometimes little things give me anxiety for no real reason 😅

And also that thing when you get used to something and you just cant imagine it any different. I cant imagine ac series in 1st person at all, but at same time 1st person in ark just seems the way to go in my option😅

[split dove]

for Ark 1 the player third person isn't really the best as it wasn't the focused view for players. so we can't imagine Ark 1 as fully third person, but Ark 2 could be better or slightly worse. even if we don't really like it we will likely get used to it in Ark 2 anyway 😅

[hasty oak]

Yea best not to make assumptions and predictions based on just imagination. Lets wait and see. I just hope we will have same freedom as we have in ark 1 where we can do whatever we want and its open world and all that

[split dove]

yh, best to wait and see what it will look like in gameplay. it's still gonna be a multiplayer sandbox survival game like ark 1 just with some updated and new mechanics 😉

[hasty oak]

Multiplayer only?😅

[split dove]

that's just one of the tags from the steam page, might have singleplayer as well

[hasty oak]

I really hope so. Or at least to make a private session or something like that

[split dove]

server hosting will likely still be a thing, as i'm gonna rent a private server to play with friends

[hasty oak]

Same, probably tomorrow. Tho if i am on steam and my friend is on epic games, will it still work?

[split dove]

epic isn't really confirmed yet

[hasty oak]

I mean i have both, got on epic games 1st but after realizing its missing steam workshop.... Well i immediately bought it on steam😅

[split dove]

you can crosplay i think, but without mods as epic store doesn't have access to mods

[hasty oak]

Exactly the reason i switched to steam. And also achievements and all that

And also i like to have games all at one place

@split dove would you be okay if we play together sometimes? Also is it okay if dm you?

[grim kestrel]

That will be official, they did say 1st person could be added back with mods so just check around unofficial servers when Ark 2 launches.

[winged dome]

It's wild to me how people go from total strangers to invites to play together within minutes. I pretty much only ever play with my inner circle of friends

[blissful perch]

depends on how many folks you know who play the game you want, and how trusting you are of others

[winged dome]

Me, a socially anxious introvert - does not compute

[split dove]

i only got like 1 reliable group of friends i play games with, managed to convince them to try Ark 2 when it's out and got them into Ark. lesson of the day, just convince your existing friend group to play Ark so you don't need to find a new one 🍺

[blissful perch]

most of my irl friends lack the time or interest - so it's better to just find some online folks

[south lance]

me trying to find a single person irl to play ark with

[astral token]

I didn’t have s**ual relations with Wildcard… ._.

Wrong of u to assume

[lavish rain]

This can easily be cured

[lavish rain]

Your ass needs to find a plug first

[winged dome]

Part of me wishes.
Discord shit posting is one thing, but like actually interacting with people I don't know is really difficult. I freeze up really bad. Trying to get better about it and have come a long way, but still hard to manage sometimes

[untold ingot]

Bold of you to assume I have an existing friend group lol

[split dove]

maybe not physical ones, but ones in your mind like Lotus the schitzo

[blissful perch]

It helps if you join an online community that uses mics. Don’t share anything you don’t want to but make jokes and enjoy gaming with online folks who like it as much as you do and the anxiety eases up

[winged dome]

Yeah, that's what I've been pushing myself to do, especially with Ark Roleplay servers - that way it's socializing and fun without being overly serious and people constantly shouting toxicity

That's honestly why I'm so passionate about Ark and interested in Ark2 - it really helped me take steps in overcoming my anxiety

[sharp chasm]

LISTEN TO Zenkenstin Ark Devs.....

Give us ARK 2 in his name 😄

[proud chasm]

Well, is Ark 2 coming out in 2030 or 2040 ??

[south lance]

plugs are a spook created by internet strangers they dont actually exist

[south lance]

its coming next week

[tropic forge]

it as already come out in 2020, were you being to be so late, we all here waiting for the new dlc for ark 2

[hasty oak]

Meh i need some friends to play games with

[lavish rain]

Ok, I know this is ark 2 chat. But I want a completely honest no bullshit response
Where did the schitzo stuff come from

[south lance]

you

[lavish rain]

I said

Who came up with it and why

[south lance]

flobs probably to describe u

[worldly garden]

I hope we get an ARK 2 reveal in the Crunch this week. It will have been 4 weeks.

[tropic forge]

guess you miss the road map announcement cause aint shit happening until then

[worldly garden]

Why would the roadmap stop them posting a new dino concept art or something?

[lavish rain]

Concept art usually isn't what a roadmap is for

[tropic forge]

ok will see wont we

[potent hull]

will we see fox as a ark 2 boss i say yes buy we will see fox we will see lol

[grim knot]

will Ark 2 be released as full game or will it be alpha or beta (early release), anyone knows ?

[hallow wasp]

No one knows anything except for the people working on it

[grim knot]

@hallow wasp well...ok. thx

[split dove]

it's gonna be a early access release launch on PC and Xbox series x/s

[stray elm]

Actually, we do

And yeah, like Flobs said. It'll release in early-access

....what?

[split dove]

explain it to him, i don't have the energy rn

[stray elm]

I don't even know what the fuck they just said.

[split dove]

you think i did?

[grim knot]

hmmm...nvm

[stray elm]

Nope.

[split dove]

''Early access, also known as alpha access, alpha founding, paid alpha, or game preview, is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can purchase and play a game in the various pre-release development cycles, such as pre-alpha, alpha, and/or beta, while the developer is able to use those funds to continue further development on the game. Those that pay to participate typically help to debug the game, provide feedback and suggestions, may have access to special materials in the game. The early-access approach is a common way to obtain funding for indie games, and may also be used along with other funding mechanisms, including crowdfunding. All early access games offer an immediately playable version of the unfinished game to players.''

You're paying for a early not completely finished version of the game that is playable and available to the public, wich helps fund the development of the game so it can be completed and be released as a full game some time later. early access games are also required to be priced less than completed games ($40 max i think) compared to current $60/$70 games

[stray elm]

Yeah....so I don't know what they meant with "or will it be paid" or whatever they said, cause they deleted the post

[ember edge]

How much will it cost?

[hasty pond]

[winged dome]

Probably at least || 🍻 ||

[dense root]

How much will it cost?

[winged dome]

See above

[tropic forge]

gotta love the little trolls coming out the caves asking for a prices after being well answer

[astral token]

Hi guys how much will it cost? /s

My friend told me it’ll be $100

Fucking fix your game before taking our money Wildcard

||of course this is all sarcasm||

[proud chasm]

Bruh, nobody know

Nobody know a sh1t about Ark 2

[astral token]

You proved my point so hard

[stray elm]

[proud chasm]

This chat for Ark 2 was created like 2 years ago and everthing that people talk here is just what they imagine, nothing from official info

[stray elm]

Well, I wouldn't say 'everything' since people do talk about the stuff that's on the storepage, and confirmed in the dev-note section of the ARK-2 community-crunch

[mint swan]

Just like they said sotf would be on ps4 yet still failed to brong it

[astral token]

Git bronged

[thick moat]

Brongerino

[worldly garden]

They're going to brong it next week.

[candid crest]

i feel like ark 2 is gonna be like gta 6

[mint swan]

Oh lets go!

Ive been waiting so long lol

Are u sure they are bringing it next week?

[opal coral]

I hope ark 2 will be this year

[mint swan]

Hopefully

Idk tho

[astral token]

They are bronging it next week for sure 💯

Not too sure about the bringing part

[ionic meteor]

What you guys think this month's ARK 2 concept reveal will be?

[winged dome]
