PvP endgame is PvP and breeding. PvE endgame is building and breeding
True in ark 1, but doesn’t have to be (and I’d argue it’s essential it is NOT) in ark 2
If ark 2 fails to have a more engaging end game that’s a massive design failure imo
I may get flak for this but I honestly wish they would take a more mmo ish approach at endgame in Ark 2.
Things like dungeons and battle grounds in WoW.
Nah that’s a good approach if they want to lean into that
They can choose imo to lean survival game endgame or MMO/RPG endgame
I think i saw a poll in poll channel
Most people like ark 1 early/mid game
Little like end game as it is
That validates me on so many levels lol
I like to imagine gladiator style combat with Dino’s thrown in
Literally didn't even know that that channel existed, thank you for bringing this to light my dude
They need to do these again tbh
So much good information can be gleaned from them
Its official, Aberration is the best map 😂
And wow people really didn't like Gen1
@tropic crag yh its how i learned aberration is a very popular voted map fav
Yeah, that I already knew, but good to have confirmation I guess 😂
It won by 41% not once, but twice
If that doesn't tell you that Ab is the best map, I don't know what will
Somehow one of the hardest beginner maps, and a favourite
Ab is the only map with a strong sense of map based progression
The PvE is actually good over there too. There’s also a really cool and discrete need to visit certain biomes for specific resources, which is a survival game staple and is really compelling
Yh, Some people mentioned they actually liked disabled flyers and the need to geg rockdrakes
Disabled fliers is a secret boon to the game
Forcing grounded tames and climbers is critical to AB’s success…and tbh contributes to amazing meta diversity you’d not see elsewhere (beyond secretly addressing issues that come from fliers in a game with safe airspace)
That's easily one of the best parts of the map for me, since I never use more than a rock drake to get around anyways
Will Ark2 have Atlas level water?
I hope they incorporate some of Olympia's The Hunted concepts. As well as Realistic Flight. Two fantastic mods that greatly increase immersive gameplay.
I do feel like gen1 has that also honestly.
Gen 1 is the next closest, but it’s a bit unclear how to progress there
Ab it’s very clear. Green -> blue -> red
How has the hunted been recently? Haven’t been following for a couple years
Hmm, I personally didn't like the realistic flight mod. But of course I dont like fliers that much anyway
Gimmie Ace Combat controls on flying
Make flyer PVP more skill focused
Are you comparing a ptera with a jet fighter? 😂
I mean, flyer pvp is more skill based than land tames pvp (just clicking simulator).
Unless you mean more special saddles (like the tropeo saddle), I don’t see how to improve on the aerial fighting
Pts already have that unrealistic air drill dash attack
You have wyverns that literally spit anything
missile boat quetzals
Pelagorn gatling gun attachment
Y'know, I kinda wish the Tek saddles had more swappable components like the Mek modules. I'd kill for a Rex with a swarm missile battery, like an organic BattleTech Catapult
Flier pvp is just picking simulator, it's not that interesting
I mean a bit more can go into the flight pvp
Get picked, needa parachute, grapple, flamy, pop, beer, light strike, bola flyer, etc
better than tek suit
I mean tek is semi fun
Also semi boring and repetitive
Official pvp ruined when people all have duped capped suits or free exo suits from gen maps
All items and loot became more common and devalued and you dont care about the loot anymore
games too easy with coordinated tribe 😔
I mean, also semi fun even having a coordinated tribe
Officials 1x PVP is just dumb when you have wars 10 vs 60 people, war of numbers
Small tribes concept is great, but people ofc cheat and alliances
I would say the game is the most fun with coordinated tribes
the tribe carries the fun tho
like its the people themselves making it fun
not as much as the game
ig the game being as sandboxy as it is means its better to play as friends in this game than others since theres so much more you can do
I mean yh
I have way more fun playing ARK or minecraft with friends then if I were to solo, it's mostly true for loads of other people. Of course there are people who enjoy it solo tho
Have people to play way, does just make the game more fun
i think people play solo only because they cant find the right group in game
if they found the rigjt group theyd play with friends
That's partly true
Iv also met few who enjoy solo and actually dislike working in tribes, tho i believe that's a minority of players
I play solo usually because most gamers are quicker to betray you than they are to be a decent tribe member lol
Sadly that's just part of the game, yh usally dont insta trust people on ark, you needa work up a good repore
But when you find someone you trust its great
Even with pvp, if someone is braindead tribe member, if i trust them, I like them anyways
i mean to say that people who dont like working in a tribe would change their mind if they found decent tribemates. The issue is that this is really hard to find
but a lot of that is just related to playing witj other people in general, less about ark itself
Yh maybe they have bad experiences with tribes, and prefer solo then
I currently have a friend exactly like that
Usally plays solo
But made an exception to play with my group
I had a friend that I played with for a year and a half on smalls, then he insided me in order to join one of the mega alliances there.
damn
probably need to tribe with people youve known outside of ark to be sure of them not insiding id guess
irl or other games
sadly ark pvp appeals to like 0.01% of people
Wouldn't say it's that low of a %
I have been insided by irl friends too
But definitely pvp is less appealing now more then ever lol
Yikes 😬
your friends suck man idk
I don't get insiding someone
Unless it's like an actual vendetta
resource inflation happened to be a mistake
There is a reason I have 6k hours as a solo on 1x and smalls lol
ext shouldnt have had element veins ig
fair enough lol
i lucked out witj some good people from mobile but they got busy with irl
Yeah, I kind of wish I could have gotten a decent tribe during my pvp time, but it's whatever
Every map just got more op
Aberration element being so bad now
Like every paid dlc got more broken lol
ye
Bad as in comparison to other methods its bad
ext shouldn't have had ele veins and idk what id do with gen1/2
Hopefully the balance passes make the maps more equalized
would cryos without all the resource inflation be good tho
I mean its all unique and cool
But maybe not balanced
Especially now in meta
Some maps need a tlc
Cryos are always a problem
the issue is that it seems to have significantly worsened the game imo
I like it broadly speaking
But yh
a lot of people exclusively play wipe servers and i think the whole issue of offi end game being so inflated with tek and stuff is why
but other than that idk
Honestly I dont know why people like wipe servers. Because all of them require excessive amounts of time and die in like 2 weeks or less
Well if they get wiped, tbeh had there fun, and can wait fkr next season
And people love early mid game, not late game
i keep getting people posting youtube shorts edits of ark being better 5 years ago than now
in my recommended
and that ark is basically mid game now
No, people love endgame, and hate early game in pvp on wipe servers lol
?
then why would anyone play wipe since a significant part of every wipe is early game
and endgame is way less advanced than nowipe
since no capped dinos
and less strong gear
Nope, majority dont like end game
Like 5-15% like end game
Nah, pvp wise
It isnt established bases with turrets thats problematic
You can run down any defenses easily, it's other stuff 2
yeah but im just saying that the only end game like aspect is the structures since you can farm that more easily
I mean, yh endgame, your rich on resources and gear, you can defend or attack with
I like end game. But I don’t like the breeding grind from gamma to alpha
Just repetitive “I got the mutation I want, now re-breed it” bingo
I’d love to see them block server to server dino transfers to only tamed Dinos. No bred or mutated ones
No one likes end game, but everyone plays it and complains when tek isn't easy to get is what I mean
I enjoy end-game on the earlier maps.
Need a grind to keep people playing.
I mean it's definitely all convenient, we've been spoiled with every dlc released getting more op
Still, end game is boring
Could be said about many games that need good end game goals
Can't imagine PVE
Id find it boring without playing with friends at least
PvP u can at least always grief and raid someone, something to do, and you needa farm spent resources
hopefully theyll utilize some concepts from ark2 in asa besides the pathing
to make end game pve more engaging
Yeah, I am seriously hoping Asa is more geared towards people staying mostly midgame lol
i think the only issue that doesnt seem to have a good solution is how to fix gen2 to not wreck progression
removing stryders ig
and no element in space
The missions and points and buying resources is a bit ez
ig idk i never really did much mission wise cause its so buggy for me
but yeah ive seen some paste conversions that are stupid
so probably a bunch of stuff that could be scaled back ig idrk
In general resources should be way harder to get lots of and bos should be nerfed imo
Something for everyone
No strider transfers
And no striders floating in space
Or at least they can’t mine when floating
They block shards and element but not dust. Honestly a bit of an oversight. But you can just manufacture the parts on gen2 then Xfer the parts back
At least we will have a few no-Xfer months
And only Island creatures. So no game unbalancing stuff
I mean dust is kinda nice to transfer
But yh old school ask you need farm bosses on enemy server
People literally build massive gacha towers and programmed Scripts for mass element dust
do all ark 1 servers shut down on august ?
September 30th
Unless they change it again
and how long with ark asa servers run? why are they not giving a minimum term
I've never heard of a game saying "Our servers will be up for a minimum of X amount of time"
Nothing lasts forever 🫡
Enjoy while you can
Except the wait for Ark 2 of course.
It doesn't make sense to have an end date for a game that isn't even released yet
Unless you are cod and like exploiting your fan base lol
is there a way the DEV team can put more detailed info on the dinosaur as to what it like to eat and what it takes to tame them?
this sucks having to goto Youtube for all the info i need
Dossiers have whether they are carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore; the wiki and dododex are the most helpful. Would be nice if the dossiers added slightly more though yes.
It's kind of simple if it's a knockout tame system.
Carnivores eat meat, herbivores eat berries.
so im new to the game and just started building my base on single player PVE. so finding all the required info is difficult when i cant find it
@stray elm what u mean knockout tame?
Thats all very surface level
Missing info if you want more in depth info
There's passive-taming, which involves feeding a specific creature with food in your last hotbar.
Then there's knockout taming that's 90% of the creatures in the base-game, and like 70% with all DLC's included.
Knock them out via club, slingshot, torpor arrows/darts, etc. Once knocked out you can feed them their preferred food.
Which knowing their preferred food is kind of obvious if you know differences between herbivores and carnivores.
Most dino u wana tame u knock out and feed meat or berry
Kibble is best
Some dinos are passive or untamable
@velvet merlin look up DoDo Dex app
It's a friend to all new players
For taming especially
Will ket you know how long tbe tame is, what u need, where its located
ok is there a guide as to using the cooking pot?
That's...why I said more info in the dossiers.
That, there is not internally.
That does require outside sources like YouTube.
Any, basic level info, you can google and see on the wiki
There's rare chances of getting recipes from killing carnivores. But it's pretty low, and some of them are either outdated or just not useful.
Where the wiki and dododex are helpful
Dossiers dont go in depth enough 2 me 💀
You don't have to keep pinging me about something that I already stated. I said "more info in the dossiers would be nice yes".
bro playing on a server just stole a wyvern egg and it talking 10 hour to raise
Their point was that there's no 'in-game' indicators for some stuff. Which they're right.
Taming in general is hard to figure out without outside knowledge. But common sense to know a creatures preferred food if you know their diet.
i tried playing on a server but i was shocked to see level 99's in the starting area and that is y i dont play online anymore
I've already agreed 
Maybe you didn't. 
stop
I did, it's not necessary to continue to ping me.
let it go
I'm fucking with her. Chill.
10 hrs to raise?
1x offical rates its days irl to raise
ikr
Giga's still take a literal week on 1x official rates to raise.
i was telling both of you to stop not being 1 sided there was no reson to jump on me
When....where we jumping you?
We've moved on from that lmao
so whaen u made the comment and i quote "I'm fucking with her....chill" who was that directed to?
tf lol
The one with 'She/Her' in her bio.
First Rizzponder. Now we're moving on and going back to ARK-2.
omg\
Can move on, we were joking and we didn't make it obvious enough lol
Actually what is going on right now lol
Ark 2 isnt out yet
I didn't know that actually
fr bruh
This chat makes my brain hurt
i thought imma be hyped for ASA but the more i think about it the less i want it.
You should quit thinking about it then.
Become like be, and become braindead.
That escalated quickly lol
I'd say what happened before escalated quickly, without trying to resolve it via talking. 💀
But lets move on from that.
Alright. You think if I ask hard enough asa will get a shoulder pet that shoots fireballs on command?
We got a shoulder-cannon that shoots on....somewhat command?
Not out of the realm of possibilities.
Is the next creature vote thing gonna be for Ab?
Maybe I’ll make something up and submit it.
Bro I’m praying my 1080ti can handle it
what if not ?
Then I’ll upgrade and complain the whole damn time
Idk. My 1080ti has ran everything flawlessly so far.
1660 seems to do fine but the extra cpu demand might kill me
I’m gonna be sad if I need to upgrade because that means I’m gonna wanna do more than my GPU and that means money which means overtime at work.
I can’t wait to find out if the benefits from a ground up recode outweigh the UE5 costs to the minimum spec requirements
Society’s gameplay loop is some bullshit
(Although old Gen consoles not getting UE5 ark 2 does not bode well for potato PC users)
same as ark just need connections ig
hard part is the consistency
like ark 🤔
maybe ark is preparing us for life
unrelated, but yall heard much about overwolf?
Man why you pingin yourself
It doesn’t ping if it’s a self reply lol. I just use it to link my messages
i only seen bad things about them like in regards to bloatware and ads and viruses and performance issues
Ugh. I need to win the lottery bada. I’m so sick of selling my time
gl
That makes perfect sense and I’m embarrassed I didn’t realize it was intended to connect the 2
Turns out I generally make rational choices 😂
also like, can mods be made without the need to go through overwolf
For minecraft? Not using curseforge
for ark2 and asa
asa is using overwolf to support crossplatform mods after all
iirc
yeah but that still means you would access mods through them
Meaning mods are made and then intentionally uploaded/shared on overwolf. I suspect this is mandatory for consoles and maybe servers…but I also suspect many mods might be available through other channels
However it may be irritating and difficult to “self install”
i just dunno if overwolf is a good or bad thing
Not to mention significantly less safe
only youtuber ive seen talk about it says its bad
and outside of that ive seen nobody talk about it
I don't know much about the system
But youtubers could eat the best steak and say it was horrible just to get views
I’ve used it for minecraft and it works 🤷♂️
I dislike anything that runs passively in the background ofc, but such is the price sometimes
strongest guess i have is that it makes accessing mods worse UI wise and will likely pump performance demands of mods, and possible security issues tho i dont think that will be that important. Snail Games could change my mind on that though
I care more about the backend tbh. The steam workshop backend is ok, but it’s still from what I’ve seen suboptimal in terms of UI and intuitiveness
i think it was alright personally tho some features could be added
i just hate how long mods took to download idk why that took so long
You mean mods from servers?
Mods you get yourself download at normal steam speeds. Iirc server mods had to jump through weird hoops due to #ark-survival-ascended 1 code that slowed everything down
sounds like it shouldnt be an issue in asa then
In theory anyway
yeah...
RIP the hunted mod
It was my original inspiration for a lot of my early ark 2 suggestions
I have a feeling ark 2 is gonna b a gta 6 type of game.
GTA 6 coming really soon
🙏
Why make a new game when they can continue milking the old one? Thankfully Ark1 had no micro transactions, or we'd be in the same situation
Milking the old one?
Not much left to milk here
They had ark out for free sometimes or on massive discounts
I ... know? GTA is milking 5, that's why I'm thankful Ark doesn't have micro transactions and is (usually) just a one time purchase +/- DLCs
I can't even imagine 💀
Loads of games do it, usually not 2 well
The idea of selling some cosmetics i wouldn't mind tho
And how tf would ark do that? On officals you lose stuff, so it has to be a permanent cosmetic there
gta runs like shitp
Could be unlockable skins, battle passes, experience boosts, tame revives - heck, look at Ark Mobile for how bad it could be
what do u know about ark2?
Nah, i usally draw the line when they offer ingame advantages that free players can't work for, not fun
Cosmetics alone, dont mind it
Ark, but with a 2 behind it!
hmm....
behind? what does it mean "behind"? i mean config etc...?
To follow, or come after
I'm being a smartass, but I'm guessing you're new to English
ye, im start to learn 5-6 months ago
so, what do u know about ark2?
Zen was making a joke that ARK2 will be more of the same the 2 meaning nothing
oh i see xD
Better graphic and physics
Better AI
It's more primitive focused
Maybe more Custom/cooler designs
Its only 3rd person
"Souls like combat" so different fighting systems
Not much to go on tho
Bunch of screenshots and a few articles in the channel Pins section too
ARK2 stuff is just an idea, a concept
The only ARK2 being working on is Ark Ascended rn, their testing stuff out
Ark evolved was a test for Ark ascended
The games are evolving
Unreal 5? 😍😍
More like Unreal7 will be out When Ark2 is ready to come out in Unreal5
hmm...
no no no, improved and hopefully less focused on the minority of players
i dont want to wait more 😅 i want to play with ark2 🥹😇😌
end of 2024 as of now
aaaaaaaa
At least, possibly longer
But Ark Ascended might give some ideas to how Ark2 might feel with some if its new mechanics/improvements
atleast your autoclicker combat will look much prettier this time 
aaand how can i help for the devs? like gameplay etc? any beta version?
Or how xan i be gametester?
can*
Getting ASA when it comes out, that's about it
Work for WildCard, or buy into the Early Access once its available
Or given their delays, start a game development studio and develop a dinosaur survival game that can compete with Ark 2. May even be able to get it out before them.
Or like a pirate themed spin-off game with customizable ships, NPC crew, and a big emphasis on sailing and exploration - call it Arrrrrrk: YarrHarr Evolved
My goal is to start a game company, create a survival game, then ban my enemies in pvp.
how much is it gonna be i might get it when it goes on sale?
Asa is going to be 40 if you get it early access
more arat prime content please 😇😇😇
Isn’t it 45 for EA and 40 on release
So i was right
40$ USD for like the first week for a launch discount or so, and 45$ for the rest of the time until it's out of Early-Access.
When is ark asa comin out
Look 5 posts up 😂
never
ufff lots of real info on the latest cc, progress going smooth
Cant believe they never had an
ASA discord channel
They havd specific channels on other subjects
On release, it'll probably just merge with General anyway. So until then ... 🤷 Talk about it here
That's what im wondering
Shouldn't they have a separate discord channel for ASA and ARK 1
Or something else
Cause there will be 2 different games and communities
What is a creature that should get a redesign?
Visually? A lot could use a touch up. Some pretty gross early models.
TLC? Hands down Sabertooth. Poor thing has been shafted and overshadowed since day 1
Im down for some maps tlc honestly
Dinos will look better in Ark ASA anyways
They wont bother now with ARK 1
Sounded like the Island and Scorched are getting some love, I'd imagine all the Story maps to get some touch ups. Dunno about Community maps yet
They might
Hope so. #JusticeForTheCenter
center as more potential compare to the island hell if SE dint had wyverns center would be better than both of those maps
Only thing I don't like about the Center is the lightning flashes. If they were less common and less blinding like the SE Electrical storms ... 👌
well whit UE5 weather as to be way beyond that now
I know there's a setting to turn them off, but then there's just disembodied thunder
How long till this comes out again?
For now
May change in the future, we're not sure yet
why not just make a ASA channel now for people to chat about it, wouldnt that be the most easiest thing to do
way too much complicated
the only thing i hate about the center map is the portal platforms
it can be difficult to situate all the dinos on the platform for boss fights
i never did on those 🤣 i had a drop on my base so when i need it a fight i had all dinos parking the spot but i get it those little extra structures dint need to be there althought i think that was ment for pvp purposes
What is ark 2
why is ark 2
is ark 2?
Yo looking to join a tribe on Ark accession
wrong channel and way to early for that 🤣
Closer to 4, even then at best
It’s supposed to be October. Key words here being supposed to.
Ok but fr what’s ark 2 😭
It's ... a sequel
It’s Ark 1 but with double the bugs.
It seems they’re doing more for an actual story but it’s still a survival sandbox
Haha I dunno just seems like one
Cuz of the trailer
It reminded me offfff uncharted lowkey
Did you think Ark1 was a story game when you saw its trailer?
I never watched the trailer
I started playing cuz of yt videos I would watch when I was younger
Van diesels a cutie
That's debatable.
I wanna tame that guy 😍
Cool it down rabbit. We've already had people making Vin-Diesel taming jokes, and those didn't end well. 
Ark 2: Chronicles of Riddik
He wasn’t talking about Vin Diesel. He was talking about Van Diesel, Vin’s pet lama.
does anyone know when asa is coming out?
October
ok
wouldn't it make sense for asa to be the new channel since that is what is being released
does anyone know when ARK 2 will be released?
In the year 3069
That's a conservative estimate
anytime someone asks, they put if off another day
I wish
Where is it possible to vote for a creature ?
Pinned messages in #general.
you really wanna know why? same awnser to why is ark 2 as a steam page and ASA dosent, they have no clue what they are doing 🤣
That might just be a Steam thing. Wasn't Ark2's page a couple months after the announcement?
I do believe the game has to be announced before it can have a Steam page, yeah, as in, it's in the rules or something
I dunno how Steam works with new listings, but I bet they get thousands of new requests a day. Or even an hour. There's so much crap on Steam 😂
Indeed there is
That's why automated stuff like the Ark 2 release date debacle happens
true
i dont think nothig will change that much but the graphics and stuff will be amazing in my opinion
You think nothing will change in ark 2? Have you just been ignoring all the info about it?
Seems pretty par for the course with how many people ask about release dates, if Ark2 is a single player/story game, ect
The steam page was when the june 2022 trailer went up. I think that they can put up a new game on steam basically whenever and its more they want to figure out more of the details so they can have a more complete page when they first make it viewable to the public
Might not want to put up Asc until they have an actual trailer/gameplay
Which makes sense. If I'm scoping a game for the first time, trailers are what I look for
pretty sure they cant post it on steam as they have mentioned its early access and you cant do early access content without a gameplay trailer or ingame screenshots
Odd they dont wana post screenshots or gameplay up until release which is soon 🤔
my guess is that they still want to add new stuff to show off so people dont say its the same game
I mean it's literally still under development ofc like with SE aberration etc dlcs
Still adding features last second to those
But like it seems all rushed to announce a new game and not have stuff ready to show off sooner
they showed some stuff in the community crunches
Yh you mean the concept art picture 💀
I don't remember Ark1 Fabricators being that small 🤔
That's literally concept art work my guy
'captured in ue4'
'captured in ue5'
💀
In engine =/= In game 🤔
No shit, but he stated it was concept-art
And when those are the finalized assets. There's really no differences between 'in-engine' and 'in-game' other then possibly better lighting.
I don't remember Ark1 Fabricators being that small 🤔
🤦
In any case
Its not the same as an ingame screenshot or game play
But it's not concept-art.
is ark 2 released yet?
Is a poster for a Movie the same as a Clip?
Nope. Late 2024 at the earliest
If the poster is taken from a section of a clip, then it's from the finalized movie.
Ok, so if it's not taken from the finalized movie then it's not a clip - right? That's makes it like some kind of promotional image thingy. Like art, for concepts
Correct.
But what we're seeing, is most likely finalized and will appear in-game.
Why would they show assets if they're not done with them?
"Oh yeah, lets take this random ass asset and showcase it, even though it isn't ready"
At that point, just show actual concept-art.
It's like some ark trailers @stray elm
They show you trailer things sometimes not actually like the game
Mm. Like the custom animations some creatures in trailers have
And yet, they still 'repersent' the final product.
The assets in the trailer still exist.
Ever seen extinction or aberration trailer
Some stuff in there ain't gameplay from the game
So no telling what its like till you see the game
That's the point we making
They need ingame ss or game clip of stuff
I have.
Did I ever state 'gameplay?'
I'm comparing 'in-engine' to 'in-game' not 'gameplay'
For a better look
The ice-titan in the cinematic announcement trailer for Extinction is still the same ice-titan in-game.
It's a game cinematic
Not exact same as it would be ingame
Are Fortnite screenshots Ark2 screenshots? Same engine 🤔
That's not even fucking comparable.
Ya lost me on that 1 zen
But it's the same engine - and if it's in-engine then it's compatible to the finalized product
Right?
Ok, enough being a smartass, need to catch up on work stuff
That's not even being a smartass. That's just being illogical.
What I'm saying is that it really doesn't matter between in-engine and in-game with Wildcard, cause anytime we see a in-engine rendering, like trailers. They use the same exact fucking assets from the trailer in the final product.
Im just stating
You needa see it ingame
Clip of vid, a screenshot
Cause yh it could look different then what you've seen
You wana actually see it ingame, not a picture of the asset, even if its not concept art, and game in engine
Why would they completely change the fucking structure assets if they're already done with them, and shown them off to the public. 💀
Wouldn't it be simple to show it off no
In game
If asked to
The community since announcement has asked for gameplay
To show it all off how its like
In game
Semantics 2 me
Your right, but i made my point wanting to see in game
And we should see in-game stuff.
I have no idea why Wildcard are so set on only showing gameplay near release.
Can they not show off demonstration videos of new mechanics, akin to what the Dead-Space Remake did?
Like it's kind of saying something when fucking EA out of all companies are more showing then Wildcard is right now. 💀
That's what everyone else is complaining about 2 yh
It's just a potential red flag
Maybe they haven’t gotten far enough to have any game play.
Or anything to demonstrate besides in game models
Then there's no way it's coming out in October if they don't have 'something' besides assets.
They are king of push back. I wouldn’t doubt them
I defiantly wouldn't say kind, as there's games that have been delayed for literal years that have yet been released.
The-Day-Before moment. 💀
If they have enough for demonstrations, then they just like to tease. “Just the tip” mentality, and make you waaaiiiiittttt
Wildcard has also never but once been open about development.
Saying "development is going good" isn't being open, that's putting on a band-aid to someone's question of "how is the game going?"
And the little teasers have been.. tools/buildings and a tree and new Dino’s that community has voted for.
But no.. models of preexisting Dino’s.
Well, I don't expect the creatures to look too different
I honestly think, a small, 10 second animation, maybe of the survivors spawn in animation while he/she looks around and scratches at the implant. Would be a good teaser trailer/video. That would give you, sand, background, rocks, trees, possible water to see briefly.
Or not even that, just internal development videos would go a long way.
Well 3 months isn’t to much longer, unless they push it to Black Friday release
Which I could see
I just wanna see the new Loot Drop scuttling towards a survivor at breakneak speeds 😂
It's the new Ark apex predator
Be shot down like orbital drops at rocket speed
Kill a survivor if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time
If you’re within 5m of the drop when it hits the floor you get thrown with nome KB
Apex Loot Drop would like to know your location
Medium Crop Plot Blueprint is out for delivery
don’t need no apex loot drops, act like Rust and have an AI survivor flying a quetzal with a turret on it that you have to shoot down and collect the resources at the crash site xD
i feel like there should be a progression system with blueprints instead of just purely rng
I don’t think loot drops should be purely based on level and should be based on your ability to kill a target/caravan by yourself or with friends
what ?
are we thinking about the same game right now ? caravans are in AOC.
i think gen 1 did a pretty good job with missions so youre able to farm for something specific ( rex saddle f.e. ). certain missions give you high chance on specific needs. thats better than on other maps where its just purely based on rng.
Idk I’m talking about the colored supply crates that come down, that are based on color/level of your character.
i wouldnt mind some missions in the obelisk terminal on the island
Like when a supply crate is down, instead of just opening it and running, like a white drop would be a few AI villagers that you would have to fight and kill to take the crate and loot safely
And each color would be progressively harder to take down. But could be taken down with a group of low levels with a strategy. And not just oh it’s yellow I need to be this level to get it
But races and hunts would be cool too and on the island
hm idk i think instanced missions are easier to implement and wouldnt feel out of place. but i get it, get people invovled in the crates sound good
I like the missions aswell they definitely push towards team work and not solo play.
Yeah my unofficial is on gen 2 at the moment we do the “survive the ark” together sometimes.
Be cool to add missions to the Terminals on the island but that would definitely be hard with only 3 terminals on an entire island with 70+ people during pvp
could be drops as well
I hope ark 2 makes gathering hide and berries a more important task. Certain animals have certain hides, ie mammals have pelts and are usually used for clothing/padding, and reptilian hide is for armor. Bushes that bear fruit/berries are more scarce, and only a few berries are edible, but some induce vomiting and can be used to cure poisons, or some can be poisonous themselves and be used to tip arrows
Yall think the soundtrack gonna go half as hard as ark 1?
I think it's the same composer, so hopefully. Coker is great
Should be named cooker because that man COOKS with his music
each session gets hotter than the last
is survival ascended going to be a separate game to ark 2 story?
is there any officla info, gameplay or pictures of ark survival ascended?
Nothin in game
Just concept art etc
Ingame footage suppose to release closer to release
Offical info is like
ASA apparently is going to change:
Graphics/performance
Meks
Caves
Aberration creatures
Rumor to make breedable griffen
Dino AI
Smaller teleporter
Better building mechanics
Wild Dino Babies?
MiniMap Pings
Improved Character Creation
Chibi/Skin Slot (You dont have to replace your shield)
New story Map Dlc
Some new dinos
Survival if the fittest rework
Servers with lobbies you can just jump into
Take it with a grain of salt
do you think we can still make deformed characters?
Probably yes
They said they changing it a little for more detailed characters idk
Dude I could listen to the ark sound track all day
Waaaaa waaaa wa wa wa wa wa waaaaaa waaaa wa waaaaa
ark 2 theme is also epic
I haven’t heard ittt
ark music is the best video game music ever
Litterly
Have they shown any gameplay yet
No
Apparently vin diesel has played over 1000 hours of ark survival evolved
Yeah, he's a bob
Like, he's not wrong Siggi.
1k hour is pretty low for the average ARK player, jokes aside.
Haha
Ive had a tribemate with less than 1k be more experienced than someone with more than 3k.
Its not about the time you have, its about what you make out of it.
True, however Simply having more play time is an advantage over people will less
nice
What is arks music I turned that off 5 years ago and maxed ambient noise and sound effects.
Yeah the average dedicated ark player probably has but in a few thousand hours year if not more.
Im glad my Xbox doesn’t record “play time” on games. Or does it?
It does
I don’t even want to look at it

Ngl I hope they fixxing the lag in ASA and ARK 2 tired of getting dashed boarded in the middle of a game.
Aww, man
You wouldn’t need to lie about that. We’re all hoping for the same thing.
That’s one thing I don’t like abt the game is when u flying around big bases u lag and when u teleport too much it’s even more laggy. I’m honestly tired of getting dashboarded
haha im hoping we get cryopods at the start of Asa
I’ve never even had the issue. I get a bit of lag when rendering a large base but it clears up after a few seconds. Gen 2 official 1x was pretty bad for awhile though.
I’m praying we don’t.
Lol imma masochist!
Imma have to find new ppl to play with on ASA bc I’m on new gen console and ppl I play with aren’t on new gen
LOL maybe a little bit yes!!
Build a pc and I’ll raid… I mean game with you…
Idk not that good with my fingers and keyboards lol my hands cramp too much. Besides the gaming laptop I got is used for my streams and recordings of gameplay
Man I get that. My dad wouldn’t get us a pc or internet when I was a kid. I was 20 before I ever got into pc gaming and my keyboard skills are severely lacking because of it.
It is a daily test of willpower to not connect a controller
Yes
Damn imma have a wife and kids by the time game play is released
Well that's good, I'm proud of you
Go out there and get that proverbial bread, homeskillet
Your kids may actually be moved out of the house by that point.
My bones will be the only thing left by the time Ark 2 drops ☠️
Hello! Does Ark 2 have a press kit for content creators, and where could we find it if so. Thanks!
They don't
There is one
They don't even have a playable demo yet probs
Why would they have a demo?
why not?
Because demos cost dev resources and create expectations that are entirely unnecessary for a series as large as ark?
so its fine to force a choice between buy or not buy at all due lack of option to try out to see if a person likes it?
That’s the standard for…almost all goods
The whole point of steam reviews, the refund policy, etc is to help with that. A demo is hardly required
I mean, the game will likely be early access as well, which brings with it some other stipulations
One could argue early access is a sort of demo 😅
The first game did have a trial, but a demo would be completely unnecessary imo, if anything just do an hour long trial again 🤷♂️
Steam does offer de facto 2 hr trails on all games
That too, but the game isn't only being offered on Steam, to be fair
If it was, there'd be 0 reason to even offer a trial to begin with
And before someone tries to come out with the "oh but what if they didn't know about Steam's 2 hour return policy, wouldn't that be kinda lame if they got stuck with the game forever even if they didn't like it because they didn't read the thing?", no, it would be entirely their fault at that juncture, and also why are they using a service like Steam without knowing every caveat and workaround and stipulation ingrained therein
I dunno. In the age where you can watch YouTube videos (or on steam/console play the game for functionally free via trail policy/gamepass) for ark 2 beforehand, a demo seems like an extra
And worse, it’s an extra that costs resources that could and should be spent on the actual game that matters
For sure, it's just a needless waste of time and resources
EA aint a demo for a demo aint price tag to it and steam policy for games like this its a joke, 2h you can barelly check what a game like this can offer the to buyer
cost resources??? damn dint know a demo was a different game, who know
I certainly did, and now you do too 
Knnowledge is power (or something or other) 😂
I couldn’t see it being that bad as extra, when ASE came out they gave you a free 1 hour demo after downloading it to try it then you had to buy it to continue to play.
@gloomy prawn however this is the comment being responded to
An infinite or numerous hours/limited content demo required dev resources to pick and choose what content should be available (and ofc make sure the rest is properly locked). Extra resources are needed to ensure someone’s purchase of the game means they seamlessly keep their progress
Yeah, if they release a demo it has to be time limited to per account, like in the past, or 1 mission specific with very limited amount of content.
And I believe they increased the ASE trial to 2 hours or so eventually iirc, not to mention it's on beginners or special servers or whatever so that you can experience the fun parts and not just the slog of early game official rates 😅
Yeah I just remember seeing it in the Xbox marketplace being promoted, tried it. Laughed my a$$ off when it said I defacated and I saw it on the floor, bought it immediately
I remember that entire hour of my trial being very eventful. Definitely sold itself. With just that hour.
Oh for sure, I know plenty of people who did the same, myself included. I came across a fella with a bunch of anglerfish stored under a bridge base he built over a river, lighting up the base at night, and that's what sold me, for some reason
the epic games free ark download was my demo
spent the 60 dollars on steam in the end anyhow
Near the year 2420
Conservative guess
Actually looked through some old emails recently, I paid 21 bucks for the game somehow, lol
after ASA, whenever that is
I still don’t know how the announced ASA in march, expecting to reprogram and produce a whole remaster in 5-6 months.
But haven’t been pushing back ark 2 for way longer
When alot of remasters announced take years to release
Is there any update on ASA roadmap? I know it’s been pushed back but maps like extinction are due Q1 2024, well that’s what it says
Release with only Island in October
December Scorched Earth and transfers open
3.5 more months till ASA I'm excited
Might give me that final push to make more ark remixes lol
Copium
Expect delays or unfished game release
What am I coping with exactly? Fully expect delays and early access. I'm still excited. Gonna be fun to dive back into it. Can't stop me from being excited with some walmart brand comment like "copium"
i just hope they are more responsive to problems
actually viewing problems as they appear to players too
they probably do this to some extent ig
Im excited. Would gladly pay for a remaster.
Yarrak
They kind of do, just not in ticket form lol
im thinking more like participating with the community informally and checking out youtube videos of exploits and stuff
i think they do that to a limited degree
and ig this would basically be asking them to actually play ark, which i dont think most devs do outside a few hours a month
dollie apparently has like 10k hours or something tho idr
this wouldnt be ideal for exploits but itd probably get them to get a feel for how the game should actually be pushed balance wise
no transfers, no cryopods, no broken dino lines. i think itll be fun while it lasts.
There is nothing confirming no cryopods
It's rumored that dollie and team were considering not to add cryos
That would be a major L
Cryo isn’t too big of a deal but no transfer is a big L
This i agree with
Not fun till Scorched Earth release with transfers
There's no shot in hell that they don't add cryos, the perf gains are too much and it's what is in the game as is, which is part of the point of ASA, present the game largely as is for the ones who really like ASE but with some improvements that won't overshine the base qualities of the game
Now, not having them at the start, and adding them at Extinction (as it was orginally released)? That's a possibility, if only to check the exact server strain when removing them, for a short time (and possibly also to allow players to play the new DLC like it was with Scorched or Ab, with no cryos at launch 😂 )
That's everyone's guess, cryos will be added later on
I wouldn't say everyone's, maybe anyone's guess though
As in the expression "it's anyone's guess as to what's going to happen" that is
cryos to be add later on official gonna be again big huge issue
imo cryos shouldn't have been added the way they are now. It would be better to only have the cryofridge as a stationary structure and you just store the dinos in it by being close to it. Similar to Transmitter, but without the uploading. That way you can't just carry around your tames, which forces the player to bring their creatures manually to wherever you want to go.
But i doubt they would ever change cryos to stationary structure.
This is what I’ve discussed with my mates aswel! I really do think they should have done it that way. Not to mention to put a limit on the cryofridges. Cryopods are just OP and kinda ruin the game imo.
pokemon: dinosaur survival edition
Yeah, like I was saying I think the only chance they get removed is to see how the servers perform with everything they've changed in place and seeing if it's worth it to keep them in. Even then, it's still likely they'd be adding them back with the Extinction release as that would make sense on the development timeline and give them enough time to thoroughly look at all the data in comparison to whatever their control data might be
I’d be okay if they didn’t add cryo’s…might even prefer it tbh. I like the added challenges
A period of 'return to form' for Ark Asc could be pretty interesting, but at the same time so many people would complain about no Cryos 😂
That would fit into the “new creatures management system” they are planning for Ark 2
what's the release date for ark 2?
Cryos add a lot of bugs and exploits to the game
Latest date is end of 2024
better be good
welcome to game development unless you want a rushed dumpster fire of a game. now quit acting like you've all only got 6 months left to live 
is there going to be bigger maps than ark 1
ark addiction is crazy dawg 🥴
dunno
chances are high that the new dlc will be big tho
each new dlc, story or otherwise, has been as large or larger than previous dlcs
except valguero i think
what about ark aseded is that game going to have bigger maps
that was what i was referring to
o i was refering to ark 2
we have no clue about ark2
well ty for your help
np
exactly
Ima just guess
It will be regardless of delays 👍
as long as they keep the base mechanics that make ark, ark, then it will be great 👍
There are changing building mechanics
here's a hint, if wc dint announce none of these nonsenses ppl would be saying its taking too long and you wont be saying "unless you want a rushed dumpster fire of a game. quit acting like you've all only got 6 months left to live" which will still be a dumpster, who youre trying kidding, its a remaster/remake early access, that itself its already a joke 🤣
good, building kinda sucks in ark, I haven't really done a lot of building, but it could definitely be improved
Not only was the point missed, but the topic wasn't even maintained, peeposadge
You’re gonna have to define this btw, since WC (and some folks including me) seem to think core mechanics are a survival game that focuses on taming creatures. Everything else is subject to change
I mean, wc also thinks breeding is a core mechanic lol
I'd say ark is a bit more than just that, but like I said, keeping core mechanics, which... would mean taming ues
yes*
Really just want get back to taming building and crafting I solo the ark so long feels weird not playing anything of the sorts anymore
They do not, but you’re welcome to direct me to where they say that
ASE has more going on, but with ark 2 on the horizon, we get to see what the core of ark as a series is (versus what the core of ASE is)
Hi
Can I get informations about ark 2 for mobiles is it cancelled or still upgrade it?
Pretty sure Ark 2 hasn't been announced to be going to mobile just yet
it will be in 50 years +-
mb some more
he means mobile remake
He specifically says Ark 2, though?
at the moment there is no normal ark on mobile 1 map lol
Who knows, with the chip and processor development and the introduction of AI and the already much improved GPU’s, we might get far more advanced phones quite soon that can support big games 🤷♂️
I didn't say Ark 2 was never going to be on mobile, either. Just that it isn't announced for mobile yet...
This place makes my head hurt
есть русс?
watch when mobile phone gaming becomes equivilant to the switch graphics and framerate in like 25-40 years 🫣
Think that’s a stretch, could very well be much sooner. It’s not like the technology isn’t already there either.
Switch isn't all that impressive, but that's a fair estimate for a self contained version of Ark 2 or something similar, no way a phone could handle UE5 without streamed gameplay. Most phones don't have any more than 100 gigabytes standard anyways, which could easily be the game's size or close enough to it that you'd have to have a phone dedicated to just Ark 2 😅
But who knows, phone tech advances a bit faster than people think, since we (i.e., humanity) use them almost as an attachment or addition to ourselves
I bet the cybernetics will be viable in that same timeframe too, though
It's pretty crazy to think how far technology as a whole has progressed in such a short time
Phones can actually handle ue5 lol.
You are mistaking level of detail with game engine
You've seen Ark 2 (or even ASA, for that matter) running completely self contained, no streaming, on a standard current phone? Damn, that's crazy
How'd you get access
I didn't even know they were making those for mobile, let alone that they already had a working version
You completely distorted what he said
As if he didn't literally do the same thing, lmao
Phones can already run an ue5 game, not with all its bells and whistles of course
My original point was that Ark 2 is an UE5 game, and there's no way that a phone could handle it, let alone the size of the game and everything else included with, well, running the game
And your point is wrong, because being an ue5 game isn’t impeditive. They just need to set it right to run on more modest hardware, including lower disk usage
It will take time, of course, no one should expect to see any Ark 2 mobile version soon
Ark 2 at standard graphics on a standard phone is not possible currently, period. Not even Ark 1 is, hence the mobile version. My point stands pretty well given the evidence 🤷♂️
Your point was worded poorly. It implied that ue5 doesn't run on a phone which is false
That’s not what you’ve said above, but this here is better worded and I agree it will take time
Well I'm sorry it read that way, I thought it was pretty obvious that we were talking about Ark 2 as I had stated as such mere words earlier
I responded to a false statement and did not in anyway distort what you said. That was just you
But I know that some here just love getting into semantics, so
It is what it is I guess
Well… written language is all about semantics
Language in general lol
Not really, but ok, I'm done here anyways
they should have just kept updating ark one
this game is going to prob die within 2 months
people in ark 1 are gonna start breaking rules maybe bc ark 1 official servers are getting shut down in 1.5 months
bc ark 2 and ark survival ascended
The goal is Ark Ascended to be that game, even after ark2 they would plan to stay with ascended supposedly
They are going to start breaking rules? As if a major percentage haven't been breaking rules for the last 8 years?
If just 2 people broke rules than that's already a massive improvement for the Official community 😂
Recent confirmation is that all Asa and ark animated will be using fortnite skins and art
Ehh, might wanna get that one fact checked 
There's been a fair amount of confusion between in-engine and using in-game assets lately
Greasy Grove and Tilted towers confirmed in ASA.
Hey, can you tell me when/if I will become a millionaire? Will I find the love of my life?
So, from what I've read. They are killing current Ark and players have to pay to continue to play on the new version?
Only if you want to play on Official servers. Unofficials, Single Player, ect can still be played normally
However, Ark SE will no longer receive content updates or support
you're only gonna be forced to pay if you want to keep playing on servers for the minority of the ark playerbase after all 
And said minority will likely shrink more with crossplay and cross-platform mods for consoles coming with ASA
Yes, they close all official servers
Never, and no 🤣
Is ARK 2 out yet
Let me Google that for you
Shut 😢
Yes and Ark 3 is out soon
Nah. I ain’t answering that again. Use Yahoo or Bing.
No no, hang on, I'm still waiting for it to load
Firefox 🫡
Wget reigns supreme lol
Cross Platform will be cool for Ark Ascended. So much players will be on the servers 
I’m interested to see if they keep auto aim for consoles…since for cross platform it’s a bit strong
The only real question for Ark 2 is.. Will Bob be in it
would be cool to see a reorganization to map spawns. Sino on the Island, Desmo on Aberration, etc 
fr
No fliers on Ab 
peek
Keep it pure
Then stay on Scorched 😂
aside from flyers on Ab, i still want a map spawn rework
no need to keep every spawn zone the same
and locked into the same old maps
We should be living in 2047 if ark 3 came out
For a lot of maps, the only real thing they have going for them now is unique spawns/bosses/Ascension. No reason to play Scorched since everything but Phoenix is available on Rag, ect
agreed, and they can still be that way (fasolosuchus). just tired of the same exact spawns in the same locations. i get that it would make for a new game balance and learning different areas, but it could def still work
move to fjordur?
once u get maewins then your never going back.. ;)
Ever since i got the first one wyverns are one of the first things i get..
I am still hoping fliers get a hard nerf in asa
Like fall damage if the run into things lol
Hard lockout fliers/jumpers from Ab 🙏
No Gasbags, Manas, Bloodstalkers, Shadowmane, ect
For real, leave the best map in the game to the people who don't like to cheese most of the game and be cheap 😂
I heard rumors of them changing smth about aberration for ASA
No clue what, or if it's better
If it ain't Officially announced, then it ain't Official 👍
at least its rumors and not a friend of a friend told me about that
As if that makes a difference, lol
Literally zero difference
Very true huh
Official announcements are changed regularly 👍
Lemme cope
Official announcements aren't usually changed that much actually aside release dates 😂
Unofficial info, whether rumors or "leaks" or whatnot, are not official, period. No reason to believe them as you'll just end up disappointed if they aren't true, and likely take it out on the devs like people usually do
Even the release dates aren't changed much, the community just blows it out of proportion because WC actually communicate the delays with their playerbase 🫣
I prefer that over... just launching without promised features, or saying nothing and coming out later with no warning (looking at you, CoD, BF2042, and other such franchises)
Heck, even Cyberpunk. Fan speculation went wild and the devs never really curbed expectations so the game seemed to fail hard at release despite being relatively what was advertised
same for the other way around
All I heard was it was a disastrous launch of a game
But in general it seems modern games always release with more issues and get patched later hopefully
That's the rush to meet consumer demand and deadlines. I personally have zero issues with a game being delayed for quality or fixing issues, but everytime there's any hint at a possible delay, most people get all up in arms and REEEE
and in the end after delays its still fuck up and crap launch so yeh try again
Case and point 😂
"rush to meet consumer demand" if aint primary necessities for survival thats bs, that "rush to meet consumer demand" in a gaming industry is greedy for quick cash and i find amusing as hell there's some ppl here that actually use that expression to try to demining others ppl opinion that come from bad devs address about the game their working
When community crunch 👀
I mean, if consumers lose faith in a company then that company loses money and shareholders. If that continues then the company fails. Soooo ... yeah, it kinda does affect the survival of a company
Usually a bit later in the afternoon. 1-3 hours from now
Ark can't really die, too much potential honestly
Yeah, just giving a hypothetical to prove a point - Ark and WC are in a pretty good place right now
damn how delusional are you, wc openly admit ark 2 is so bad that they had to make ASA for ppl to continue enjoy their game/s, ark 2 continuously being delay, ASA being delay and by sense ark 2 got more delay, they announce one of the kind remaster/remake early access ASA which by early access protection, gives them the right to add or cancel what ever they have mention it would be on the game, even cancel the entire game itself and still keep the money, that's what early access truly is all about, they announce 3 different package's and 3 different prices so far... how in the hell you can write "Ark and WC are in a pretty good place right now" what a fanboy, you cant really see red flags that's being given?
Ark2 isn't bad, it's still in development. Ark Asc is a thing because that's literally what the players asked for. More Ark1, but better.
Delays are fine, the price point changes was a bit concerning I agree, but each update is more and more consumer friendly as opposed to the original forced bundle with a game with no gameplay or in-game screenshots.
If a company sells a promise via Early Access and fails to deliver then they are open to lawsuits, that's the consumer's protection.
dude if thats the case them wc would have backrub when they take ASE from early access, it was on wiki, battleships skyfortress land transporters (you have that car you can summon on single player to prove it), early access gives them the protection to not be suit if they cant keep the promise, now fund raising that it might go for law suit but again aint that simple
You can judge once ASA is out
As for WC being in a pretty good place; they have a successful game, a highly anticipated sequel in the works, an animated series in development, and a remake soon to be released. Not to mention that Ark has had very stable player counts since release
They easily could have been a one-and-done studio
Fox going full copium/tinfoil conspiracy theorist, jesus, how'd you do that by being articulate and describing the situation well and nicely? Wait...
I wouldn't entirely say ark is in a good place right now. I would say it has the potential to be if Asa is good. If Asa isn't good then ark could be in a really bad place.
Also financially they're probably a bit lacking. Since the last paid content that released was the Genesis-pass.
Yeah, I could be wrong but to me it seems they either are on the cusp of something great, or the edge of ending lol
All depends on how good Asa turns out to be
Agreed
We shall c how it turns out
I just see red flags all around
That's kind of how I see it.
If somehow both ASA, TAS, and ARK-2 are shit, then yeah they're kind of done.
But if at least one of those are good, then they'll probably do fine. And if two or more of those three do well, then they're solid.
Nah man, if ASA isn't good ARK 2 is long ways after, they would have to deal with
Yep
If Asa isn't good, but gets enough revanue to get to ark2 and ark2 is good then they'll do fine
The source material is already pretty solid and has had a very stable and consistent playerbase for years - throw in better QoL, Cross Play, and mods for console and I think Ark finally be what the Devs envisioned
I mean, that doesn't guarantee anything
Potential is there yep
But I only c red flags atm
Waiting to get proven wrong
It doesn't, but every change they've confirmed so far is a positive
A few are questionable.
Any word on the cheating enforcement problems with official pvp? Only thing I'd care about personally
Like the fact we 'have' to use Overwolf, basically an addware, to install mods.
No more steam workshop.
We don't know that
I don't think we know for certain Steam Workshop is gone - probably won't be usable for console, but PC likely will still have it
"Day 1 on every platform exclusively through Overwolf"
" Mods are going to be available Day 1 on every platform exclusively through Overwolf, whether you're on PC or Consoles. Additionally, we will not be launching with Premium Mods until later in the year. We'll have more information on the Modding Process as we get to the launch of the game and we can't wait for you to get your hands on it!"
This is from the last CC.
Yes, the cross-platform mods, no duh they'd only be available through them, they have to to be cross platform
Exclusively through Overwolf does bring pause, but that could just be for the Cross-platform mod availability
That's not what it says lol
If you Wana read into it
It could mean that launch day mods are only available with overwolf
May change later on
Kind of feel like information like that would be important to state.
I also don't see them having two seperate platforms for installing mods. As I don't see a point to have a steam-workshop for ASA if they're going with Overwolf for cross-platform.
At that point, why not just have 'all' mods on Overwolf for full accessibility?
That would depend more on the mod creator's decision I guess? Maybe there is reasons a creator wouldn't want their work on consoles. Some are weirdly specific about stuff like that 😂
Like Shadlos vehemently opposing Immersive Taming
Sure, but that may not be up to them.
Shadlos is a very questionable man
Like of course I'm hoping for a steam-workshop, as I just hate Overwolf.
But like most things, we'll see when it comes out.
I believe the benefits brought by cross platform modding capability will outweigh the cons of Overwolf - but we'll see
Someday 😂
Ehhhhhhh.
When Overwolf moderates what games you play, then shows advertisments for stuff for said games on your computer. Nothing out weighs that.
AdBlock 👍
Fallout 4 and Skyrim have a cross platform mod, well, platform, and still also has steam workshop support... also, I've heard a whole lot of bad about Overwolf, but it's the only way console gets Minecraft mods, and I'm sure it's not bad enough for all the console players to just not use mods ever again. I also would like to see how it works entirely before passing judgement, and seeing as I don't play Minecraft, I have no way to know for sure unless there's a youtube video out there with a step by step engagement of said moderation of games being played and ads shown elsewhere on the system
Yeah, I don't personally have much Overwolf experience. Used it a bit for Minecraft, but never really noticed much of a difference/out of game intrusions
Ark 2 is gonna flop on release
Because it's a whale of a game
Rocking that 400Gb for the base-game
What a chonker!
The only whale relationship I see is that ark 2 news is as elusive as the white whale
It’s less about direct intrusions and more about the fact that it passively plays ads the entire time it’s open (from my experience)
Far inferior to the steam workshop, but perhaps it’s ok to alienate steam folks a bit for more console players to get into mods? Though ark on console did pretty well with just vanilla
Yeah, I believe adblockers don't work on it, due to how they setup their system for displaying ads.
I’m sure there are workarounds, but standard stuff hasn’t worked when I tried it
There is, and from what I looked at from a quick glance. You basically have to turn off your computers notification system.
Which does turn off the ads, but also any form of getting notification displays, like being tagged in Discord, or Steam popping up and saying 'game is done downloading'
Oh gross
Honestly, I kind of prefer the Epic-Games launcher more then Overwolf
Wild but mildly acceptable take
Guess it wasn't that bad yet when I last used it. Though it has been years
Yea it’s not bad, just annoying lol. Especially if you’re tight on your specs and cry when ads eat your memory lol
All around, Overwolf is pretty anti-user friendly.
Wouldn't you be able to load into a game with mods and then force close over wolf?
Sure, but needing to find way around the shitty experience isn't a good experience.
Sometimes. In minecraft it’ll sometimes reopen for reasons that elude me
when I used overwolf for valorant, it never wanted to close and if i did successfully close it, it would just reopen itself in 5 minutes
Will there be seasons in Ark 2?
Nothing has been mentioned about them
do you need overwolf to play the game without mods ?
No
What is the differents in Ark 2? are they said anything about it?
It’s all in the pins-Chubs Peterson
Thanks
How much will Ark 2 be sold when it comes to steam?
85.69$
are you joking or its real?
it came to me in a dream
probably more like 60$ if we fr
somewhere in that ball park.
if its like that i can just watch it from YouTubers..
yea but gaming fun
Bro what? You can’t just watch other people play the game
its so expensive
nah not really youd just have to not buy groceries for a month
I remember when first party games sold for 30-40$ too 😞. Inflation is a cruel beast
Think about it in terms of price divided by hours spent playing and you'll see how cheap games are in comparison to other hobby activities
when is ark asc comming out ?

Is ark 2 coming on PlayStation?
yes, Ark 2 will be on next gen consoles only (PS5 for your end) when it releases, but playstations launch will be a little after PC and Xbox due to a timed exclusive contract and Playstation only allowing early access games for up to a specific amount of time as Ark 2 will be a early access launch game when it releases with the current target date of eend of 2024
Thanks man :)
Βut I got a ps4 :(
new games are gonna be shifting more to only next gen consoles as the old gen is becoming outdated and will hold back new games with it's old hardware. so it's time you might want to look for a new gen console
Pretty sure the way ark 2 is gonna be, next gen might be the only ones to handle the game either way
when is it coming out?
No
it's coming out sometime this century
there's a few obvious reasons why it's only next gen consoles. old consoles are just gonna hold it back completely
it's kinda standard to cycle to the next gen a year or two after the new consoles launch
What’s up with ark ascended
Set to release October
40-45$
Ark1 official servers shutting down
PS4 won't have ASA
Any last-gen console isn't getting ASA
Ok
Will unofficial ark 1 servers shutdown
I have ps5
Or only official
Only Official. Unofficials won't receive any new updates or content
Probably not outside of major exploits
From what I know Asa is just ark 1 but better graphics and runs better. It will have all dlcs including a new one
Nope
Ase active development ended with the rhynio
ASA apparently is going to change:
Graphics/performance
Meks
Caves
Aberration creatures
Rumor to make breedable griffen
Dino AI
Smaller teleporter
Better building mechanics
Wild Dino Babies?
MiniMap Pings
Improved Character Creation
Chibi/Skin Slot (You dont have to replace your shield)
New story Map Dlc
Some new dinos
Survival if the fittest rework
Servers with lobbies you can just jump into
Take with a grain of salt
Oh dang
Wait will ark 2 have all ark one maps or at least some?
Have all maps
I know nothing about if they will have better anti cheat or smth
All I care about tbh
We don't know anything about how many maps there will be for Ark2
BREEDABLE GRIFFINS
It will have all plus one
YESSSS
Read carefully. Ark 2
If you want breedable griffins, be prepared for them to be severely nerfed lol
Ark Ascended will have all Ark1 maps + one
Ark 2 we don't know yet, but unlikely
Yeh I know(if you're talking to me)
They are two different products
Dinos that were previously unbreakable might be breedable
Like the rock Drake change
Fuck nvm
Ppl already hate them they shouldn't nerf griffins
The dive bomb is only 8x normal attack damage from what I know
If that's nerfed they're most probably for transportation☠️
The dive attack has the highest base damage in the game. A capped griffin would deal more damage than a giga
Griffin>>>>giga tbhh
Wildcard logic:
How to fix something unbalanced?
Add something else more unbalanced
Carcha > giga tbh
Are you old?
New dino added
Look it up
That acronym is usually enough to get you banned here lol
He's saying
Keep yourself safe ofc
Griffins deal a lot of damage but if ark nerfs it, then it's horrible
OFC I am
I haven't played ark in a while
It would get a nerf similar to that of wyverns
Would be annoying if it's 2 op
But everything is op and unbalanced so
It's a new dino, better then giga mostly
Giga still good for instant damage
Ye exactly, as long as gigas exist the word "overpowered" will aswell
Gigas are not a flier
realy ???
Not all fliers are op
Having an overpowered melee flier would be
Only phoenixs, griffins, and some wyverns are
Lightning Wyverns?
Are not melee fliers
Gigas are still really overpowered for a land dino
Eh, they kinda so powerful they bad, 1 bite rage etc
Rather use anything else personally
A carcha now..
Gigas are a one use creature.
carcharodontosaurus
A breedable Griffin would be at least two use and would dominate in both
Griffins>>>>ark dinos
Can't Chang my mind
Tlc for more dinos/maps needed
Yes, but even then having a melee flier that can pick easily and one tap a player in capped flak is too much
Are u dumb
Ez counter?
Use hacks 👍
90% of pvp does already
