ark-2

[split dove]

the art says brachio

[winged dome]

We've only seen a handful of teasers for Ark2, so it's hard to say which is 'better'. They're going to be pretty different experiences

[distant lynx]

Yea I suppose

[split dove]

i will play ASA to keep me over while waiting on Ark 2, wich i'm still more excited for than asa as we're long overdue for a new way to play Ark

[distant lynx]

Ascended is releasing next month right?

[split dove]

end of october

[distant lynx]

I thought it was Ark 2 also

[winged dome]

Def
Ark1 held me this long, so a cleaned up and more polished version will definitely hold me for a few more years

[split dove]

Ark 2 is currently targeting late/end of 2024

[distant lynx]

Ah alr

[split dove]

i'm still gonna hate breeding/mutations with a passion

[distant lynx]

I’m most likely gonna get Asa

[distant lynx]

I’ve never understood how it works

[winged dome]

No planned fixes is a major disappointment

[split dove]

sadge

[winged dome]

beeg sadge

[distant lynx]

Yea

Thanks for the answers of my questions

[winged dome]

There should hopefully be a QnA/FAQ released for ASA in the coming weeks, keep an eye out on the #announcements channel so you don't miss it

[dapper narwhal]

Who’s ready to get shit on by guys on expensive pcs while we are on consoles!!!

[split dove]

the minority of the playerbase returning to official on asa /j /s

[tropic crag]

Not me, buying my own cluster ASAP lmao

[winged dome]

Expensive PCs that run less than console quality settings 🤔

[lime forge]

The salamander?

[tropic crag]

Crossplay enabled, but none of my players cheat, they ain't no losers

[split dove]

leaf lizard

[winged dome]

No, no
Saladmander
Totally different

[split dove]

gonna be meat on the fire anyway

[winged dome]

Meat or veg? 🤔

[split dove]

meag

[winged dome]

Yes.

[tropic crag]

What if it doesn't give us meat, and just drops like

a leaf

[winged dome]

Bamboozled

[tropic crag]

That's it's whole drop pool

A single leaf

(You need ten to make a salad)

[winged dome]

It's actually such a master of camouflage, we never actually kill one. It's always just actual leaves

[tropic crag]

Yeah, you just think you killed it

But in reality, you stabbed a leaf as it snuck away, like the master of stealth it is

Oh my god

What if there's a bush that they rest on in the wild, that looks like a crouching player

and when you tame one and wear ghillie and crouch

you look like this bush

Ultimate PvP sneak strats now demand everyone own one (1) saladmander

And with that, I bid you adieu as I haven't slept in 30-something hours

[south lance]

if ini doesnt get changed youll be the only bush visible on the map

[split dove]

''must be a rendering error''

[pine basin]

Expensive PCs are far superior than the consoles

Entry level gaming PCs are indeed more expensive and slower than the consoles

[winged dome]

Missed the joke of ini settings reducing quality

[pine basin]

Oh 😂

But the cross play is something they will probably reconsider I’m sure

At least they will release servers exclusively for consoles

People will complain a lot

[winged dome]

I'm not sure that's something they're doing - yet at least. So far, seems to be all open crossplay all the time

[pine basin]

It took them less than a month to change their minds about cross platform for SOTF

Maybe cross platform pve will work amazingly. For pvp? I doubt it unfortunately

BUT I don’t know overwolf, I don’t know if they have tools to balance platforms

But balancing platforms is basically capping pc

[winged dome]

Eh, I don't plan on playing Official either way, so doesn't matter to me

[pine basin]

But we don’t know how unnos will work on ASA

Because of the Nitrado agreement

People using their own hardware will be able to host their servers however they want

But I’m not so sure this is the case for the more traditional ASE unno servers

[grim kestrel]

When ASA launches if you find a decent RP direction server feel free to DM me details I'd appreciate it a lot lol

[winged dome]

Sure

[plain tusk]

What’s the exact date of asa

Ik it’s end of October

[winged dome]

No exact date revealed yet

[prisma acorn]

Id love to get into some ark rp with asa dropping

i was gonna look for a server myself

[grim kestrel]

Same

[winged dome]

ASE RP has been painfully dry for the past few years, only a handful of decent pop servers which sucks if you don't like the crazy overhaul/custom mods they use

[grim kestrel]

I like ones that don't use the berry bush seeds, but rather establish a natural universal currency like one I played the longest was ingots which made sense and was specifically for stuff like the auction held by the owner for the the community to bring in usually just dinos, but occasionally would be items of sorts or fertilized eggs.

Independant trades could go for whatever the two parties agreed on.

[winged dome]

Played on Aramoore for a bit which had a custom economy with coins and such - went out of my way to barter with random ass items instead of coins and would never decline an offer. Made a lot of people really happy with good deals 😂

Some of the major traders actually got mad because I was undercutting their prices so hard

[grim kestrel]

Maybe they can fix it so when you favorite an unofficial server it actually shows them when you filter your favorites when searching lobbies for ASA

That was one of the more tedious things about ASE is having to keep track of name of the server cause it wouldn't put favorites in the favorites filter for unofficials.

So it basically just put a star there with no purpose but really to show you have been there when you favorited unofficial servers

[winged dome]

Yeah, Ark's in-game server browser sucks 😂

[prisma acorn]

I just swap between Favorite and My Survivors untill the server I play on shows up

relaunch occasionally

[grim kestrel]

Gamers Paradise was one that stayed on the longest, it gonna be hard to top how close to perfect that server cluster was for us that played on there.

[winged dome]

Yeah, played on Paradise a bit, good times 👍

[grim kestrel]

Not sure SoTF a good comparison considering anytime I peak at the server browser for that mode there less than 20 people at any given time.

Personally couldn't stand that mode and from the looks of it is basically a failed mode judging by the amount of people seen in any of the servers.

[pine basin]

It’s the only time they tried cross platform and it failed

Also it’s pvp. Console players don’t like to play with pc players on competitive games

[grim kestrel]

And even without cross play it still failed

[pine basin]

And Ark pvp is pretty competitive

[pine basin]

So? The point is they came to the conclusion consoles and PCs won’t fit together in a competitive environment

Only successful cross platforms I know are genres where players don’t compete with each other

[grim kestrel]

I hate using this comparison because it the most common, but it proves a point. Battlefield and Rocket League is cross play between PC and consoles.

As much as I despise giving credit to the following they have also made it pretty successful...

WarZone, Fortnite, Apex and PubG

That just off the top I can think of

[tall zenith]

So much cheating happens when pc players are involved

[pine basin]

Rocket league is one of the examples cross platform works as intended

All the others have an option to opt out the cross platform and console players usually do that

That’s what I whine will happen to asa and Ark 2

[grim kestrel]

You just gave the simple solution I have said from the get go that all that needs to happen

[pine basin]

Cross plat servers will be used by pc players

And console players will prefer to play on exclusive servers

Again, just be clear, I’m talking just about pvp

[pine basin]

Well, that’s what I’m talking about since the beginning

And zennark said they wouldn’t touch on the cross plat option

I just said they would eventually release exclusive servers

Pve players will coexist.
Pvp players won’t

[grim kestrel]

For me I don't completely get the urge to put yourself into what from my personal POV what looks like a toxic environment of PvP on official in a game like Ark when there already plenty of grind and dangers without the 24/7 functioning mega tribes bullying you around.

Some videos I have watched has always made me wonder why someone would willing just put themselves in that situation

For me I think a moderated unofficial with certain expectations of do's and dont's in PvP would be the way I would go if I was to go into PvP in Ark.

[winged dome]

Some people feel good about flexing their lack of time obligations by playing Official PvP 🤷

[prisma acorn]

I can't believe you don't enjoy being forced into a tribe with at least 20+ other people to have a chance at a somewhat enjoyable experience

[pine basin]

Because pve in ASE gets boring fast (at least to me).

[pine basin]

Yeah, ase mechanics pretty much force you to play in large tribes

That’s one of the main reason I was kinda hopeful about Ark 2

Pve would have more stuff to do with the aratai being an active pve force

The other I was watching this guy playing a mod where NPCs atrack the players

[grim kestrel]

That reasonable which is why like Zenar has also mentioned the best version of PvE is when you find a really good managed RP direction server where interacting with community for stuff you wouldn't primarily focus on is a much better experience from PvE server

[pine basin]

It looked really cool

[pine basin]

My concern is, I’m not sure how the ase servers will handle the nitrado restrictive deal

[prisma acorn]

IIRC You can still buy servers from other companies or host your own but all the official servers will be nitrado

[pine basin]

AFAIK you can host a server with your own hardware, but you can’t use a rented server from other company than Nitrado

[grim kestrel]

Y'know there quite a few complaints about Ark's server but in comparison to certain AAA companies cough 2K cough Wildcard has substantially better servers than 😐

[prisma acorn]

I swear I just got a ad from SurvivalServers about ASA in my email but maybe it was a different game?

I'd have to go check again

[prisma acorn]

Yeah the only time I've ever had any server issues is when climbing dinos were used to crash servers to dupe items

[pine basin]

You can rent a server from other providers, but you would be breaching their TOS (at least based on their statement about the Nitrado Exclusivity).

Will they enforce their TOS? I don’t know

[winged dome]

Kinda hoping that's one of the FAQ topics

[grim kestrel]

That would be funny 😂

"Is ToS enforced for who you can host servers from?" "👀 If you have to ask, then maybe you shouldn't do it."

🤣

[winged dome]

I meannnn 😂
TOS enforcement is kinda up in the air since the whole Legacy servers thing

[lament dirge]

is ark2 going to be cross platform

[serene onyx]

We have zero clue

[lament dirge]

ok ty

[prisma acorn]

I don't believe we will get any concrete info other than art/previews on what the game will feature until it's trailer comes out which will be, most likely, 4th Quarter 2024

[lament dirge]

I thought the game itself was being released 1st of october

[serene onyx]

Asa is releasing end if October and ark 2 end of 24

[lament dirge]

noob question but what is asa

[serene onyx]

Ark survival Ascended

[lament dirge]

and that is just a revamped ark survival evolved I assume

[serene onyx]

Yeah theres also other things not just a graphic change

[lament dirge]

I'll have to do some research on this I thought ark2 was being released

[serene onyx]

Nope not for a longg time

Better to forget about it until it gets closer

[lament dirge]

I see

[analog hamlet]

[prisma acorn]

I'm excited to tame a UE5 Terror Bird

I love the little chocobos

[grim kestrel]

Kind of like a primitive riding chocobos version of those final fantasy chocobos you use to ride in the early days of FF I was wondering if I was the only one that saw that connection lol

[winged dome]

Wark!

[true fox]

What did 379 have in it? a reference to a creature vote?

[winged dome]

379 confirmed late October

Plus showing us modding is in the works already which is kind of a big deal

[true fox]

Zenark: I just read it and I didnt' see that. is it in the comments or something?

oh, 'for the launch'

gotcha

[grim kestrel]

It is in the very first paragraph of the CC 👀

[true fox]

Yeah, I was looking for an asa update heading or something

[grim kestrel]

This is why it good to just read the page

[true fox]

I did and just missed it

I read it as just referring to the currently advertised date, but I can see how it as viewed as confirmation that it won't slip.

Really looking forward to buying it

[pine basin]

It just got to my attention that terror bird is a generic term for several different species

I thought before it was that specific species in Ark but no

It’s like a raptor, there are several different species

[true fox]

hawks, falcons, kites, eagles, vultures, and owls

ark's raptor is a shortening of velociraptor

[pine basin]

Yeah, kinda like that. I think the one we have in ark is called Brontornis

I think I like the name Terror Bird more

[pine basin]

But the one in Ark is actually an Utah Raptor

[true fox]

ooh. whenever I hear that I think of dinosaur comics

[pine basin]

😂

[tropic forge]

google this name and you will see as nothing to do whit raptor, Phorusrhacidae

[pine basin]

Phorusrhacidae are the Terror Birds genre, no?

Not related to the utahraptor

[tropic forge]

Phorusrhacidae are know as terror birds that live 10000 years ago

[pine basin]

That’s actually my point. It isn’t one species but several. There are Phorusrhacidae from millions of years ago

[prisma acorn]

I think they're underrated tbh

i love the little wing flap they have when you jump off cliffs and glide

[tropic forge]

use then many times to do the lava cave on the island

[grim kestrel]

The nice thing about ASA is it'll be good to enjoy some natural color creatures for a little while. I bet most people have forgot what creatures originally looked like before event colors

[prisma acorn]

Everytime I get on theres some event going on and everything is either bright red, green, blue or pink

[opal shell]

Does anyone know if there has been a news letter about what engrams or if any have been cut from asa when it drops? Besides cryopods

[stray elm]

Nothing, and they most likely wont cut anything out content-wise.
Cryopods are going to be in ASA, but it's in the air still if they'll come on release or when Extinction rereleases.

[pine basin]

We have almost zero info so far

[opal shell]

@stray elm @pine basin thanks been reading most of them just wantef to make sure i didnt miss anything

[stray elm]

We are getting an FaQ soon-ish though.
So probably around this Friday or next Friday.

[opal shell]

Yea been waiting on that

[stray elm]

Reasonable to think it'll be this Friday for the fact to lesson the blow for official servers closing.
Or the 6th of October to start the marketing for ASA.

[pine basin]

Where did they state cryos will be in ASA? I'm asking because the only thing I saw Dollie saying was they would answer everything in a future Q&A.

[stray elm]

Dollie and Jat answered this awhile ago in general.
They stated cryopods will be in ASA, but it's a matter of 'when' they're adding them.

I doubt they'll cut any content cause no matter how small or broken something is, people still use it. 'They' just need to figure out a better way to balance things.

[pine basin]

Missed that, thanks

That's a bit underwhelming IMO

I think cryos just made Ark worse

[winged dome]

That's ... kinda expected though. Of course there would be Cryopods, the question has always been if they're on release or we have to wait until Extinction when they originally came to Ark

[stray elm]

That's a personal opinion. And when there's still a decent chunk of players that use cryopods and enjoy them, then it wont be removed.

[pine basin]

of course, hence why I said IMO

[winged dome]

I'd like to see changes to Cryos - namely you shouldn't be able to pop a creature out wherever. Should be in range of allied structures. None of this pocket Giga BS

[pine basin]

I mean, they said some changes would be made, but cryos won't be changed apparently

[stray elm]

How they are now is fine for PvE, if you don't like them don't use them. Simple as that.
On PvP though, there defiantly needs to be a change.

[pine basin]

Yeah, I'm talking about pvp

for pve, people can do whatever they want without really interfering on others experiences

[stray elm]

There needs to be a solid difference between PvE and PvP anyway with balancing.
That's one of the biggest complaints for ASE, how balancing something for PvP effected PvE and vise-versa.

[summer trout]

are you playing pvp or pve for ark2

[stray elm]

We're talking about ASA

[pine basin]

Hopefully they differenciate both, but I don't believe so

[summer trout]

ohhhhh

[stray elm]

They should. People will be pissed if they don't.

Then we'll have to deal with another 8+ years of shitty balancing.

[pine basin]

In ASE I started playing back in 2015 on official pvp. I just started playing PVE in ~2020

[stray elm]

Ironically, same.

[pine basin]

I mean, with current mechanics you would need to dedicate your life to ark

I just got tired

[stray elm]

Yeah, I believe I actually retired from PvP around 2019-ish

[pine basin]

I was hyped for Ark 2 because the PVE mode seemed to be more interesting with the Aratai and the Events (Global events).

[stray elm]

Same, seemed like it'd be perfect for ex-PvP players that don't want to deal with the unpredictable patterns of players. But still want a form of raiding and human x human combat.

[pine basin]

Exactly

[grim kestrel]

Cryos are a crutch for a lot of people some of which that are quote "among the top PvPers" so to speak.

You could take this to the bank, without cryos there would be a signicant amount of people who claim to be good in PvP that wouldn't be cause they wouldn't be able to carry their army of dinos in their pocket.

[blissful perch]

@winged dome TLDR me - anything fun here today?

[winged dome]

Eh, slightly less 'When Ark2?' than usual

[blissful perch]

Well that IS a welcome change 😂

[pine basin]

And guess what, ratholes would be so interesting

[tropic forge]

well i dont count any info tomorrow, most likely is the creature that win, ase official server closing and thats it

[pine basin]

I'm 99% sure tomorrow will be about saying farewell to ASE

I wouldn't count on new info before october

[tropic forge]

and the creature, they havent announce it right?

[pine basin]

No idea, I'm really interested on those polls LOL

[tropic forge]

ho wait they have

[grim kestrel]

It would be an ideal time to reveal a game play teaser with the closing and last opportunity to claim your save file from WC.

[tropic forge]

wasent the dreadnaught?

yeh was on last cc

[winged dome]

Dred was confirmed last week

[pine basin]

It would, but most ceartainly they don't have anything to show and It's a good excuse to just dedicate the CC to a farewell

[tropic forge]

so yeh tomorrow will be the farewell of ase and official servers

[grim kestrel]

true

[tropic forge]

hey they might share a ue5 raft pic so cc isent so empty 🤣

btw i was reading about cryopods again and just remember that not a single person mention or ask for ocean plaft to be available at the start and since island is the only map that would make a huge difference

[pine isle]

I haven't played Ark 2 yet. What are the differences? Before I buy it

[tropic forge]

no need to rush in your decision, ark 2 isent out yet nor will be for quite some time and even worst for ps players

[pine isle]

I didn't know. I haven't been keeping up with it.

I saw there was a chat so I figured it was already out

[tropic forge]

they said for the end of 2024 but having ASA as early access and 1 delay already i personally consider ark 2 as TBA

plus theres no info of ark2 for PS5

[grim kestrel]

That cause a platform waiting for a time exclusive contract to expire usually doesn't get special info, it'll release with what the current versions have at the time.

Just based on how I've seen them work for other games

[winged dome]

Hooooboy, have I got news for you 😂

[pine isle]

I have ps4

[tropic forge]

ark 2 is for next gen ASA too

[grim kestrel]

Unfortunately you will have to upgrade for either ASA or Ark 2.

Also PS5 will not get Ark 2 when Xbox X/S and PC do, it on a timed exclusive contract for them.

[pine basin]

Just a heads up, they've said it is an xbox excluive, period

[tropic forge]

plus im start to think you have 0 knowledge of ark 2 so if you can visit steam page ark 2 as a page on it explain a bit of what ark 2 gonna be

[pine basin]

the timed thing is something we assumed

[grim kestrel]

Oh, I missed that. When was this? o-o

[pine basin]

On the original announcement CC

BUT I believe it is coming to PS5 eventually

[pine isle]

I do have zero knowledge. Which is why I came here looking for said knowledge

[tropic forge]

unless someone wanna resume what ark 2 gonna be i recommend you check ark 2 on steam

[true fox]

Sadly we don't have much knowledge to give. We're still waiting for ark1.5 Ark2 is still way to early to know anything

[grim kestrel]

Bee's post from March 31st this year is still posted where she shared a screenshot showing it for both Xbox and PC (Steam/Windows)

And Microsoft's websites in the pin as well says console and PC too..

[pine basin]

Here:

After careful consideration, we have decided to delay the sequel's launch to the end of 2024, when it will still launch exclusively on Xbox, Game Pass, and Windows distribution platforms (Steam/PC).

They never said it will come for PS

I believe they even can't say that now

BUT I believe it will come eventually

But they will announce it WHEN the exclusivity is finished

[grim kestrel]

Yeah it will "launch" exclusively. Key word launch. They don't actually use the word timed in official statements. No company does.

[pine basin]

If you find anywhere them saying they are releasing for PS, then I will agree with you

I'm just saying they never promised to release for PS

I'm not saying it won't happen

[true fox]

But also, its so far out, maybe the game gets good pre-reviews and sony opens the pocketbook and breaks the exclusive barrier

A lot can change in a year or two

[grim kestrel]

They wouldn't say it would release later. That not how that works.

I'll use Rockstar Games as a huge example given how big they are. GTA V being the best example. It release exclusively for PS3 and Xbox 360 for the first year.

No where did they ever say it would go to PC, but it known they compromise their contract negotiations to have an expiration date, but that never announced.

[blissful perch]

Tbh you’ll know when it’s ready

No need to bend over backwards speculating. If you want ark 2 and you have a PS4, you’re not ever getting it. If you have a PS5, better be patient or get another platform. Simple thinking

[pine basin]

But sometimes they just won't release things to other platforms, like RDR

Im still waiting for the first RDR to PC LOL

[grim kestrel]

RDR2 is on steam though?

[pine basin]

Im just saying we better wait for an official statement

[pine basin]

Im talking about RDR though

not RDR 2

[grim kestrel]

Fair, but the terms of the contract aren't certain, it could be a permanent exclusive but it could also contain an expiration date which is the most likely case considering when Microsoft deals with it exclusives for Gamepass if it a full blown exclusive it would have more than likely only would have been available for windows version of PC not steam.

That why I believe there probably an expiration date to it. We don't know for certain, but that the history of how they have done their games in the past for gamepass

[pine basin]

Agreed, but until they say it, there's no PS version planned

[grim kestrel]

If Ark 2 is only for Xbox and PC period it should def be just out right cross play considering Xbox already plays with Windows and that not consider cross play since it through their PC side of Xbox

[pine basin]

TBF Ark 2 is more suited for that

[grim kestrel]

Yeah

[pine basin]

At least more than ASE and ASA

a souls-like game is nice to play on a console

[grim kestrel]

Curious how some of the movements will be while mounted to a land creature like a Rex or Raptor will be. Survivor movement pretty easy to visualize

[pine basin]

I believe the movements will be more fluid and a bit more complex

they've said, for example, when you bite the leg, it will affect the lag (broken bones for example)

So I guess it will have more complex mechanics, instead of just clicking forever

[grim kestrel]

Should be fun experience

[pine basin]

Hopefully... I was really hyped with the game description

ASA might be nice, but still too similar to ASE

[grim kestrel]

I plan on playing both ASA and Ark 2. Not gonna abandon ASA when Ark 2 comes out.

[blissful perch]

My hope is mounted combat is as interesting as foot combat

[pine basin]

Me too, but I will say Im more skeptic after the 2 postponements

Im on a wait and see mode

[pine basin]

Hopefully this means boss fights will be more interesting

[grim kestrel]

Ark 2 breeding mutations change from just stat multipliers to actually being certain resistance buffs and you will need specific ones for specific bosses

👀

Shifter going to hate me for that post lol

[tropic forge]

if you like new world then you gonna like ark 2

[grim kestrel]

I actually never played new world

[blissful perch]

I’ll be frank and say that at MINIMUM that’s a better system than exponential stat growth

You won’t catch me proposing it, but at minimum it’s something interesting that expands gameplay rather than bypasses it

[grim kestrel]

That something lol

[blissful perch]

I also very badly want boss fights with limited tames (by size at least). It would be amazing to have a raptor boss fight or a boss fight entirely in the air

[blissful perch]

Should also say for this that I’d far rather have Raq’s suggestion of skills/traits that are bred/mutated rather than building resistances slowly

[grim kestrel]

If us as survivors are going to have skill trees it would only make sense to give our tames the same justice so there a reason to use them and not have a bunch of yard ornaments lol

I'd be all for that

[blissful perch]

I’d personally propose and prefer skills that are tame specific that can be “taught” by doing things with your tame

In an ideal world, tames die very rarely and are instead more permanent investments (similar to familiars in other games). Instead of death, they’d just become inactive and unavailable when they hit 0hp

[grim kestrel]

Have breeding be nothing more than an alternative to taming with just an added benefit of being able to gain color mutations. Just have mutations be purely aesthetic

[tropic forge]

unconscious

[blissful perch]

I don’t mind breeding as a fairly optional affair for breeding, so colors have always been ok

[blissful perch]

Or some other status - same energy tho yea

I think having unique skills or combinations available via tame OR breeding would also be a healthy way to make both methods available to players

[tropic forge]

skill tree

you could combine 3 same dinos whit 3 different skills for example.

1 could do stats affect another be a dps and one as a tank

[blissful perch]

I’d like 0 skills to directly alter stats

Skills could instead be classed into 1) movement 2) ability 3) utility which can really change what a creature is capable of rather than just “more number”

[tropic forge]

something like Moschops?

[blissful perch]

I don’t think there IS a comparison in ASE. Moschops and theri are the closest, but really it’s more like if you imagine skills that unlock or improve movement, abilities, or utility

[eternal wigeon]

Sounds far 2 advanced for Ark

[blissful perch]

For example, one simple skill could be faster climb speed on rock drakes. A more complex one could be a coil ability that basilisks could get that would let them pivot in place when coiled up

[blissful perch]

For ASE? It’s too advanced. It’s easily in scope for a huge shift like ark 2

[tropic forge]

well you know it could fit on ASA but...

[blissful perch]

Eh. It’s out of scope of Asa imo. The combat isn’t diverse enough to offer a large number of special skills

Since breeding stays in Asa, it seems like stats will still rule ark 1, which isn’t unexpected

[winged dome]

Not without significant creature overhauls and mechanics changes

[tropic forge]

well the main dino roster need a big cough... tlc cough...

[blissful perch]

It may or may not get one

[winged dome]

Get this man a Lesser Antidote for them coughs

[tropic forge]

wonder if leech illness will still be a think

[eternal wigeon]

For sure
They will add like 200 ways to get sick and debuff u

[tropic forge]

well im almost certain giga's melee will be gone, then you have that bleeding stats

but leech illness that aint a thing for pve at least, rabies is and its annoying

ark 2 might have lot more debuff stats

[grim kestrel]

So a lot like Green Hell if anyone here tried that lol

[grim kestrel]

One thing that would be nice but I doubt they have done it or plan on it for ASA, is the consumables and structures that were unique to Prim+ be added into ASA.

[split dove]

oh silly shifter, don't you know having combat that can make you fall asleep is the most interesting type of combat you can get? /s

[ripe cedar]

maybe they should make it actually reduce speed like it says in the description then people wouldn't want to have it

[split dove]

reduce speed you say? make it increase the speed Jerry

[ripe cedar]

but having literally every player constantly sick just is stupid, so maybe just have it go away eventually and then give an immunity buff for a bit like its an actual disease

because I do think that going away on death is a bit too easy of a fix, so either have it go away eventually but not from death or dont have it at all

if people didnt constantly have it then maybe it could be used in an attack to infect an enemy tribe like it was seemingly intended to be

but making the cures isnt that hard if you aren't in early game so it still probably wouldn't do much because you can stockpile them or even the ingredients since the antidotes themself cant go in a fridge because they weren't intended to be stockpiled, although it is easier than it was at its release because they increased the spoil timer dramatically

[winged dome]

Double Oxygen and increased swim speed is kinda nice though, ngl

[vital jetty]

I don't even know how people get diseased. I've never once gotten diseased by a leech once. It has always been from another player lol.

[lime forge]

It’s gotta be a diseased leech. It’s in the their name.

[grim kestrel]

Now one hope for the skill tree design Ark 2 gonna have, I hope they expand on how you level it up by adding in certain requirements that need to be met beside an X amount of XP to level.

Either by you actually doing a task that utilizes what you are trying to upgrade so you essentially have to practice at what you want to improve so it like training or something similar to that aspect.

[slate dew]

any info about gameplay trailer or teaser?

[lime forge]

Nope

[tropic crag]

Depends, do you mean ASA? There should be something soon, next month

[rancid harness]

I hope we get info day 1, but I'm also bracing for "we are pushing out the release of ASA to December of 2023"

[lime forge]

I feel like the sunset would be delayed if ASA was being delayed.

[fading venture]

Snail Games has said that ASA has passed beta testing back in August. Unless something horribly goes wrong, it should be fine

[grim kestrel]

There are plenty of people in this discord who don't give any value in what Snail says and wouldn't believe anything until Wildcard themselves have stated it.

[prisma acorn]

they also said atlas was good to launch

😂

[near shale]

oh yeah that was a game

considering i heard it was coming out and then never heard another word of it im gonna assume it was pretty bad

[winged dome]

It's ... rough

[pine basin]

TBF there are plenty of people in this discord who don’t give any value in what WC says. They can always postpone or change their minds. 😂

It’s funny because people are just projecting. Like everything bad that happens to Ark is because of SG bad practices. Everything good is because WC devs are the best. Things aren’t just black or white.

[winged dome]

Game development is a complicated profession

[pine basin]

It is indeed

[pine basin]

It’s like those leaked Phill Spencer internal e-mails. They gave so much flexibility/autonomy to the Xbox studios that the managers messed up.

Giving unrealistic release dates or releasing totally broken games (redfall).

[tropic forge]

or they need 4 weeks to write 10 line codes

[worldly garden]

ARK 2 is nominated for "Most Wanted Game" in the 41st Golden Joystick Awards! 🥳 Votes are open until 20th October!

[tropic forge]

lol and most dont have a clue of what ark 2 is, they think is the same play as ase

[pine basin]

Holy… 41 years of the event. They were awarding Pong back then 😂

[tribal chasm]

Super Mario Bros came out in 1983 I think

[pine basin]

Just kidding

[tribal chasm]

I wonder if the guy who got promoted to Lead developer (or something like that) for Ark 2 is doing okay now

[pine basin]

Who’s this?

[tribal chasm]

I am trying to find his old twitter, it was a bit worrying though -- 'ok you are now the lead designer of Ark 2' and his tweets were all kinda 'I'm overwhelmed but trying my best'

[pine basin]

But I guess he’s having a hard time. Because he’s dealing with a new engine and under so much pressure.

[pine basin]

But what happened to the old one? Quit or got fired?

[tropic forge]

and under so much 🤑

[pine basin]

I don’t think so

[peak siren]

its like advanced green hell with more complexicity

[prisma acorn]

I mean leech isnt entirely a debuff also

[fast isle]

Make an ASA reveal video (try not to click bait challenge)

[tropic crag]

🤡

[wise wing]

did they ever announce a date for ASA since server go offline tomorrow..? been falling behind on alot lately with work hrs xD but pretty sure there wasnt a date yet =\

[split dove]

just end of october atm

[winged dome]

No exact date

[wise wing]

k ty

[rancid harness]

Brooooooo what if they do an announcement after they shut servers down

[winged dome]

Then we'll have an announcement after servers shut down

[prisma acorn]

excited for asa

wootwoot

[tropic crag]

Gottem

Wasn't expecting that, WERE YA

[distant lynx]

What new dinos will be in ascended?

[fickle jackal]

Drednaughtosaurus

excuse my terrible spelling

theres also more but thats the most recent one i can remember

[prisma acorn]

the ones that have won the CC Creature Votes

[mint swan]

You can report bruising for harassment with clown emoji btw. Dm if you have any questions.

[prisma acorn]

they'll each be added to their respective maps

[split dove]

Fasolosuchus, Gigantoraptor, Yi Ling, Shastasaurus and Dreadnoughtus

[prisma acorn]

gigantoraptor is being added with the release of ASA right

thats the island one iirc

[split dove]

no, with ragnarok

[chrome lodge]

No

[prisma acorn]

oohhh

it was the bug

[pine basin]

Lol fox is always reacting to other’s posts with a clown 😂

[split dove]

rhynio is for island in ASE and ASA, so no new asa exclusive for Island

[tropic forge]

?

[pine basin]

!

[eternal wigeon]

U know that bug is also on lost island aswell right

[prisma acorn]

Me when they announce the new dinosaur, fully expecting it to have a normal taming method

🤡

[tropic forge]

but he was referring to the island creature vote

[blissful perch]

Excuse you. It’s 🍿

[winged dome]

I prefer 🍻

[tropic forge]

yeh that i get it but the clown im like "whaaaaat"

[vital jetty]

It had good ideas, some not so good ideas, and a lot of the implentations were rough.

In my head I want to hope for their ship combat/build system in ASA even though I know that will never happen lol

[winged dome]

Never really got to experience the ship combat outside of my Official week1 Galleon getting eaten by a whale on zone-in 🥹
I want to like Atlas, but ...

[tropic forge]

battleships were a thing on ase early access ideas that devs wanted to do

[vital jetty]

I never played it, but watched videos. The ship combat seemed decent enough.

[tropic forge]

i remember reading it on ark wiki back then

[vale spade]

Asa is ASE just now you pay

[vital jetty]

You had to pay for ASE wdym?

[tropic forge]

since when you dint pay for ase when wasent offering?

[vital jetty]

and ASA is having multiple changes, so that's it's not ONLY a better graphics update.

[vale spade]

No it their way of making you pay for ark ascended and evolved same severs

[tropic forge]

what?

[vital jetty]

yeah I'm gonna need this said clearer so I can actually respond to it lol

[tropic forge]

guess this is what happens when the game gets for free a couple times in 8 years, freeloaders start to complain when servers go down and a new game comes out

[vital jetty]

I 100% vote for ASA and Ark 2 no more free downloads of the game.

Interesting how the spike in cheaters SKYROCKETED the moment people could make 14000 free accounts each lol

[tropic forge]

it kinda sucks for ppl that pay for others to get for free specially when theres mod maps that gives stuff from paid dlc

[grim kestrel]

Trust meter like the Charchar makes more sense for taming than most of the others. Trap some of the bigger aggressive creatures and provide for them until they adapt to you.

Knocking out a dino and quote on quote handing feeding it by keep food it in inventory for a set time make sense for some creatures for them to wake up and perhaps trust you enough (aka being your tame now). But for others it kind of just a weird stance from an immersive view point.

Shoulder pets that approach you cautiously for you to feed it a good example of the trust build concept.

Don't even get me started on the weird impregnation taming where you or your dino have to be inseminated by a wild one to give birth to a tame, just the thought of that is wild.

[true fox]

I always thought that trust should disappear if you do shit like starving them

[vital jetty]

Ark lore states creatures are absurdly easy to tame. I know one goes over why, but if you read Helena's Island notes she takes note on how even certain animals that SHOULD NOT be "tameable" are.

such as the megaladon

[blissful perch]

Lore is built around gameplay tho

Ultimately ASE taming was built to “work” as a prototype

[grim kestrel]

That a good idea, too. Make it where you have to keep their trust level or if it depletes then they revert back wild and if it a passive dino they immediately run/fly away or aggressive you could have a situation on your hands.

[vital jetty]

Lore is built around whatever the Game Designers wish to build it around, whether that's gameplay, notes, books, etc.

[untold totem]

well the non story and dino votes are "written around gameplay"

[dapper narwhal]

who else thinks they should add console only maps to 1x offical similar to what they do on unoffical

[blissful perch]

The lore is displayed in different ways, but the point is that gameplay supersedes lore - if a new gameplay element breaks current lore, new lore is written to explain it

[grim kestrel]

If there was to be a continous trust level you had to maintain it could and should be based on more than keeping them fed, have it be with them feeling useful and not just alone outside the base. Have certain requirements like so much distance traveled while mounted or picked up if a shoulder pet. Certain amount of wild dinos killed if using more aggressive creature tamed.

That concept would also help tone down 500 tame out at a base because a concept like that would make it increasingly difficulty to keep that many tames trust level up.

[winged dome]

Bonding could be neat. If tames are left unused or Cryo'd then they start taking stat penalties until they're brought out and used

Bonus points if stat penalties persist through breeding. Gotta take those mommas out and exercise them

[vital jetty]

Everyone complains about tribes having hundreds of dinos out before cryos (even though they still had them out after). All this would do is make that "issue" 100x worse lol

and most main breedline dinos are kept out of cryos anyways.

[winged dome]

Ideally, Mutations would be fixed, so not nearly as much of a need for mass breeding ... but sadly that's not happening in ASA 🥹

[true fox]

I'm fine with mutations, as long as they actually have a cap, and not an easily broken cap

[winged dome]

Hence, fixed

[true fox]

Yeah

[winged dome]

Unfortunately Devs confirmed in chat that there will be no changes in ASA yet to breeding/mutations

[true fox]

Just twiddling my thumbs now at work, waiting for a crunch that prob won't be out for hours

Still so little we know about asa.

[winged dome]

Give it 5 hours or so

That's the usual Crunch time

[true fox]

a man can dream

[winged dome]

A man can dream

[grim kestrel]

Well in the bonding concept we are sharing to expand making it be more risk reward / workload cost effective toward having tames out.

Mass breeding would also have a negative effect on both male and female creatures as it could be stated as a "object use" and negatively effect a trust meter where you have to work harder and harder to maintain the trust meter if you mass breed the same creatures.

especially if it multiple different "partners" so to speak and not the same two creatures being bred.

[blissful perch]

Bonding works if you have a small tame count

Breeding would need to be firmly optional, and creature death rare, before (intensive long term) bonding makes sense

[vital jetty]

You said based on keeping them fed. Which is always done, through troughs. so it wouldn't do anything.

[grim kestrel]

That would be the idea, it would be a risk/reward concept. Keep the tame count reasonable you would have no issues, but blow up your tame count and well you would have your work cut out for you.

[grim kestrel]

I said it could and should be based on more than keeping them fed.

[vital jetty]

ah, misread then

Still think it's an awful idea. PvP wise you get in one major fight and you're basically screwed when the next tribe comes to attack you.

because your choises are to either keep a small amount of tames, or have too many and have stat issues. No one would want to PvP at that point. The risk is now too high.

[grim kestrel]

To be honest based on watching some PvP from videos in official, IMO I think people were able to PvP to much before having to regroup and set up again.

[thick tulip]

idk, sounds more geared toward fewer players having quality tames instead of one dude bringing his army

[vital jetty]

If you get in a defense, and lose a bunch of tames under your way, you now HAVE to breed up again. Another tribe can literally fob up and ruin you because you have no dinos now. Or if you do, they have such a stat nerf because you couldn't maintain it, that they can shove you in due to better stats.

[grim kestrel]

Considering Ark is geared towards a tribe that not a bad thing. Ark not intended to be a solo adventure

It would force people to plan ahead rather than always push aggressively and have a defensive action to fall back on

[blissful perch]

There is a tension between tame counts and tame investment though. If it’s too hard to replace tames, defenders are at such a bad disadvantage in a siege that it results in people being unable to build

Hence my suggestion yesterday of not having formal tame deaths - and perhaps adding a more permanent bonding system. That way, your “KOd” tame is unavailable for a while, but you’d be able to train up a “secondary” replacement to rotate in without risking your existing bond with your primary

And should the attackers leave/fight end, both parties have their tames back after whatever X hours/days cooldown and can PvP more (which is kinda the fun of it)

[grim kestrel]

There a game I played a WHILE back, trying to remember what it was that used a concept like this and it worked really well..

[blissful perch]

It’s very common in RPG games to do as I described with familiars

[winged dome]

Pokemon, except when you beat Team Rocket you get to blow up their base instead of taking their lunch money

[pine basin]

Attacking should be more costly than now

It’s too easy to raid other’s bases and just take everything people took months to get

[vital jetty]

reread what I said.

[pine basin]

I have no idea how to do it in a balanced way, but they should 😂

[blissful perch]

Berserker also agrees lol

[pine basin]

Im agreeing with you and adding on that

[grim kestrel]

I think this concept would be very good for Ark 2 more than ASA considering current expectation is no cryos or such to transport an army so the attacking side would have to actually travel with their tames out dealing with whatever between them and who their headed toward.

[blissful perch]

Imo the issue is less that a base can be raided and MORE that your base has upwards of months worth of work

Protecting your most valuable assets, character progress (already protected in ASE) and tames, would make losing a base less horrible!

[pine basin]

No cryos + huge map. I see can lots of ambushes when attackers are moving to raid

And that’s good

[grim kestrel]

This should be exactly the expectation IMO, there should be more of a focus on defense than offense.

[pine basin]

Yeah, agreed. The issue is how to “fix” that

[blissful perch]

I’m not so sure cryos will vanish in ark 2. What I do hope is that in ark 2 there’s more emphasis on transit and transport

[blissful perch]

See above for tames - character protection already exists in your implant and level not being harmed when you die

[blissful perch]

Focus should be on defending a BASE, and not all of your PROGRESS

that’s the key issue imo to be explored. Losing a base should be similar to losing a round of overwatch - you failed the PvP. But you shouldn’t lose month’s worth of progress (or be asked to redo it) by failing the PvP in one raid event

[pine basin]

Exactly this, but still, I don’t see how to circumvent that

Like how to save blueprints, “genectics” etc

[blissful perch]

See here about tames

[pine basin]

The bases themselves aren’t that important

[pine basin]

I read it, but I’m not sure this will work

[vital jetty]

crafting boom to get into a base should be expensive if you go in through the wrong way, or expensive in general, so it disaudes from wiping out every solo or extremely small group.

It is what Rust does. wasting boom on a solo who is clearly a "bob" isn't worth it, and rarely happens unless said bob REALLY annoyed the more set up groups.

If you spend boom in Rust, but get no boom back, or resources to craft boom, it's usually considered an extremely bad raid. as it is in ark, it is WAY too easy to just craft an absurd amount of rockets/c4 and yeet over and over.

[pine basin]

Unless of course we keep the genetics of our tames on a machine

Like the souls mod

[blissful perch]

Easy. Tie blueprints to specific players and their progress as “memories”. Imagine upgrading engrams rather than having an item that can be thrown around. OR have the system be component based and have “BPs” replaced by special knowledge point recipes (remember those points are confirmed as something you get for completing missions)

[pine basin]

And when they get killed tou can clone them

[pine basin]

I believe Ark 2 was aiming that with different materials crafting different items with different qualities

It would be better than needing a bp

[void rose]

When do yall think the ASA interview will come up?

[pine basin]

Also, something like the crafting skill could be reworked to make it even better

[blissful perch]

In my ideal, genetics are only cosmetic so that would be fine

[pine basin]

What asa interview? You mean the q&a?

[vital jetty]

"Soon"

[pine basin]

Dollie just said SOON. So, I believe it’s coming soon

[void rose]

Yes exactly

So it's not precise

[vital jetty]

It is precisely "soon"

[void rose]

I hope it will be at least the next week

[pine basin]

When I say genetics, just read as an specific creature ID

So I can recover after the fight

[blissful perch]

I see - in my head it would be more like a tame manager UI like the founder note eluded to

[grim kestrel]

This is why the only PvP experience I even went into Ark was one server that declared bases as safe zones, all PvP encounters were while you are out and about or when admins hosted up an arena tournament which is where you gathered up tames you needed and took part in, winner would get reward determined by admins based on how the cluster was progressing.

[blissful perch]

PvPve is imo where ark 2’s niche is most marketable and most interesting

[grim kestrel]

Hence one reason I believe unofficial is better than official imo.

[pine basin]

Raiding a bases is amazing actually. Lots of fun. Defending is also amazing. The issue is months/years of hard work are inside a base. Losing everything is sad.

Like shifter is saying, they just need to change things so we can have everything attached to our characters

[blissful perch]

By getting out of control player stats the game becomes more pvpve. Currently you can ignore most wild creatures. In a proper pvpve environment though people have to take wildlife seriously

[pine basin]

Instead of everything being inside vaults in our bases

[blissful perch]

Everything except the walls and floors 😂

And materials - those should be the loot still imo. But yea I agree

[pine basin]

Sure, resources and structures are easy to get back

What’s annoying is losing bps and tames

[rocky yacht]

Is ark ascendant will be on xbox one?

[pine basin]

No

[split dove]

no, only next gen consoles

[rocky yacht]

Let's gooo

[pine basin]

Read it wrong

[rocky yacht]

Shit

[pine basin]

Sorry lol

[split dove]

loved the trolling

[rocky yacht]

Xbox series yes right?

[pine basin]

I thought about the Xbox series

[split dove]

xbox series x and s

[pine basin]

Yeah

[rocky yacht]

Nicee

It will be on gamepass also ?

[pine basin]

Tbd

They didn’t say anything about that

What’s odd, because we already know ark 2 is on gamepass, but we don’t know anything about ASA

[rocky yacht]

Ooh

[pine basin]

My guess is they will just replace ASE with ASA on the gamepass

But that’s my guess

[grim kestrel]

That will likely be after EA, I don't see it going on game pass during EA

[pine basin]

Oh, there’s that

[halcyon lake]

When is Ark 2 coming

[split dove]

late/end of 2024

[tropic forge]

well dollie was talky today,seems gonna be a "big" cc to read

[stray elm]

That either means they'll give us a memory road CC, or the FaQ

[tropic forge]

seems some questions gonna be answer but its not a FaQ

dude aint the place for that, you already try it on general and you got the boot

[stray elm]

This isn't the place. There's literally a whole channel dedicated for recruitment

[safe flint]

i didn't see the channel

[whole leaf]

E

[chrome lodge]

It would be cool if Dino's in ASA could react more like a living creature than a robot, like if they can fall or have collision with each other

[tropic forge]

collision should be easy whit UE5, fall they already fall 🤣 but if youre talking about breaking leg debuff and stuff like that it would add a little more realism to the game

[chrome lodge]

No like imagine charging a trex with a trike or carno and made him fall but not dead

[fierce stirrup]

will there be a difference from early access to when theres full release? like will the worlds wipe?

[serene onyx]

dont think so, but anything can happen

[tropic forge]

theres a change of that happening again

[fierce stirrup]

thats gonna be exciting 🤣

[eternal wigeon]

Didn't they do smth like that before

Splitting official servers into "legacy" servers

[fierce stirrup]

i only started official servers about 2 months ago, so i hope they dont

[eternal wigeon]

Errr, so u are aware that official servers are shutting down now yh? FyI

[prisma acorn]

I have bad news for you friend

[ripe cedar]

1 day 2 hours left

[fierce stirrup]

oh yea, i stopped 2 days ago after finish alpha island other than overseer

[grim kestrel]

You're going to want to head to unofficial if you like interaction with others.

[eternal wigeon]

Nope
It's in 2hrs not 26hrs
Check #general pinned

[prisma acorn]

i might hop on after work and run around

[ripe cedar]

wait yeah it is

im just confusing myself

[fierce stirrup]

i surprisingly really liked the official servers, played with my son and a few friends. get the real@feeling of acheivements when playing

[eternal wigeon]

Gald 2 hear
May u never experience Offical Pvp tho
I pray for the lost souls 🙏

[alpine kayak]

does any1 wanna join me im kinda new to pc ark i have played this game on my ps5 but i just dont know what server i should join

ik this is the wrong channel to be in but every .00001 second i get noti

Try posting in the correct channel #1110949794907684965

[distant lynx]

ASA releasing end of October right?

[winged dome]

As of now, yes

[thorny bronze]

any release date yet?

[grim kestrel]

End of October 2023 for ASA

[sand surge]

or not going to happen. $$$ Nitrado good for business

[quaint ibex]

Yeah but would nitrado just go over to ASA? To still make profits?

[whole tinsel]

Bro ark is a SCAM

[tropic forge]

did you just join now to say that???

[whole tinsel]

We rlly have to pay 40 bucks dude

[tropic forge]

guess you had ase for free ha

[whole tinsel]

I broke i spent my hard earned money for this gsme yesterday

[tropic forge]

lol

[whole tinsel]

Imma have to take an l

Wait is it free if u have it already

[tropic forge]

ask for a refund 🤣

[winged dome]

Refund it if you can

[grim kestrel]

🤔

[winged dome]

Steam refund policy is pretty forgiving

[whole tinsel]

Im a epic user

[naive dragon]

Anywhere I can read about the latest stuff we know about ASA?

[winged dome]

Rip

[grim kestrel]

ASA
ARK: Survival Ascended will now be a standalone package released on every platform (PC Windows/Steam, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation 5) at $39.99.

(At least one exclusive ASA map confirmed by Wildcard that will be a paid DLC)

The package will include the following pieces of content built-in (not sold separately), with each remastered and altered for the next-generation on Unreal Engine 5: w/Cross Play and Cross Platform Modding

The Island (Released at Launch at the end __October 2023__)
Survival of the Fittest: The Island
Scorched Earth & Transfers (Release in December)
Ragnarok & Aberration (Released by Q1 2024)

Extinction, Genesis Part 1, Genesis Part 2, and all the community-created maps are also to be released over time in 2024 (Fjordur, Ragnarok, The Center, Lost Island, Valguero, Crystal Isles)

[winged dome]

I dunno how to summon the bot

That works too~

[sand surge]

not when you czn make $ off previous

[tropic forge]

ask on general tab if a moderator can summon the bot for ASA

[naive dragon]

That is awesome, thank you very much. That's everything I needed 😄

[grim kestrel]

Just cherry picked info out of 4 CC's

[naive dragon]

Works for me! 😄 actually hyped for ASA.

[tame geode]

That would've required you to like... read the crunches? What? Who does that?

[winged dome]

Ikr

I just look at the pretty pictures

[whole tinsel]

I aint ever paying for a game w out research anymore

[winged dome]

^ me with Monster Hunter Rise 🥹

[grim kestrel]

If you look up a little you will see cherry picked info about ASA, or if you see a mod in general, ark, or here ask them nicely to summon the bot for ASA

[whole tinsel]

Summon the bot for asa please

[grim kestrel]

Gotta find where the mod are at in the discord atm

[grim kestrel]

But here this for now ^

[tame geode]

There you go doing that damn reading thing again... and so soon?

[grim kestrel]

What can I say, I like to actually know what going on with games I like

[whole tinsel]

Is it available on epic games cause my ark is on epic

[tame geode]

I need a 3 minute video sent directly to my DM's to understand what you're trying to tell me. With pretty pictures like Zen said.

[winged dome]

I'm not sure if ASA will be on Epic 🤔

We'll know come end of October

[whole tinsel]

Well i guess all my savings going into asa on steam 😀

[ocean sierra]

I wish there would be an original island map in ASA, but I guess we will only get the new version.

[drowsy bison]

When is asa coming?

[winged dome]

On the bright side, $40 ASA will come with all the currently available DLCs in time

[winged dome]

End of October

[grim kestrel]

The Island probably going to be the same design, but it going to be updated with the new engine physics and capabilities

[eternal wigeon]

Only thing rumored is some changes to caves possibly

[ocean sierra]

Yeah, I mean I would love to see the original Island, from before they added swamps and redwood ++

[winged dome]

Bronto Valley

[grim kestrel]

Hopefully smoother entry and exit instead of insane frame rates lmao

[prisma acorn]

13 minutes boys

[round iris]

Ngl...I liked the idea of ark 2 and ascended being in a bundle pack..

[prisma acorn]

yeah

i was already gonna get asa

so it woulda been ark 2 for free

[winged dome]

Paying less for ASA and DLC combos

Which is a plus

[prisma acorn]

and acording to the streams i was watching of official, the servers are now down

[winged dome]

Will not be missed

🫡

[prisma acorn]

I mean, I played official for like 2 weeks, didn't enjoy the flow of the game due to longer times on everything but, it's always sad to see a game close down. I can always play unofficial but for a portion of the community, there is no game anymore.

[verbal wind]

the rates were awful in official, but it was fun before i found the joy of private servers

[winged dome]

Official was just a time sink. There's no added difficulty in waiting longer to get things done

[verbal wind]

i played sp for a few months before trying official. made a tribe with friends, they stopped playing after 3 days, and the server was always lagging every half hour and shutting down randomly at least 4 times a day

[rare urchin]

when is asa coming?

[verbal wind]

end of october

[rare urchin]

when’s the server shutting down?

[verbal wind]

five minutes ago

[rare urchin]

fuck

[winged dome]

We've only known the date for three months

[rare urchin]

i swear playing 2016 ark was like yesterday

[verbal wind]

plenty of private servers out there

[rare urchin]

is it only offical servers? or unofficial to!

[elder pawn]

Im in playstation when new ark start ?

[verbal wind]

only official

[rare urchin]

ok

[verbal wind]

wc has no say over unofficial

[elder pawn]

Im in playstation when new ark start ?

[rare urchin]

and it’s 60 dollars for asa right?

[winged dome]

40

[noble jewel]

Yeh

[verbal wind]

40 last i checked

[rare urchin]

end of october

[elder pawn]

Oh no

[elder pawn]

Oh nice

[noble jewel]

40 plus all DLCs coming later on

[rare urchin]

that’s fucked people who owned ark should get it for free or atleast a discount

[verbal wind]

in the meantime im playing 7daystodie

[winged dome]

40 *includes all DLCs later on except to-be-revealed ones

[winged dome]

You're funny 😂

[noble jewel]

Yeah

[verbal wind]

i mean, thatd be nice, but devs gotta get paid

[noble jewel]

What I meant, my bad.

[rare urchin]

shut yo ass up not evryone has noneyt

money

[winged dome]

Then stick to ASE

[prisma acorn]

Yeah, they've put a shit ton of work into this. They didn't just import and click update

[noble jewel]

So all of the thousands of hours of work wildcard is putting into the remaster...... should be free?

[verbal wind]

asa isnt just a reskin its a good way into remaking from the ground up

[winged dome]

If you can't afford $40, you got bigger problems than gaming

Get a job 😂

[verbal wind]

xmas is right around the corner

[tropic forge]

6 moths = thousands of hours?

[rare urchin]

if you can afford it you should gift me it

[winged dome]

Sure, I'll buy it for you right no-

oh wait

[noble jewel]

LMAO. So they've only been working on it for 6 months now?

[tropic forge]

yeh

[noble jewel]

🧢

[winged dome]

Likely much longer than 6 months

[prisma acorn]

theyve been working on it since they started the switch port

[tropic forge]

was on march when jery said about update to UE5 meme right?

[tropic forge]

sure 🤣

[winged dome]

Could have been in progress well before that

That was the first tease

[tropic forge]

nope, gotta follow cc's its all there

[prisma acorn]

now that the servers are closed, they might give us a update on asa, dollie did say she was trying to get permission to show something

[tropic forge]

1st was the idea of just updating then was 1st of april cc

[noble jewel]

Unreal 5 has been active since April 2022, based on normal dev times for games I'm guessing they're rushing it as it is. It's not a simple port to the new engine.... at all. I'm betting they've been working on it for at least a year.

[winged dome]

B-
But it-

Hadn't even been announced yet

Your lack of logic never ceases to amaze me Fox

[verbal wind]

the devs are also likely under NDAs given it's snail games publishing

[prisma acorn]

also they said, in their own post/video that they made the switch port in UE5 and decided to update the island then later came out and said "we're just updating the entire game now" "also its no longer free"

[tropic forge]

sure thats why ASA is in early access whit just the island youre right they have being working on it for much longer

[winged dome]

Prove they haven't

I'll wait

[tropic forge]

prove they have

i'll wait

[winged dome]

Jeremy's meme came from somewhere, not out of the blue

[tropic forge]

🤣 works both ways

[noble jewel]

Well, Early Access is a good way to get things straightened out before a major launch. They're most likely having to almost rebuild each map from the ground up for UE5. New Lighting, using Nanite, using all the new tech..

I'm sure it's as simple as drag and drop eh

[tropic forge]

you have too much fait on wc young padawan

[noble jewel]

No, I know exactly who WC is.

I've been playing since ASE was in EA.

[tropic forge]

same

[prisma acorn]

I've been playin ASE since before swamp

[noble jewel]

I am well aware this is the company that had DLC for an early access title

Never letting that one go btw.

🤔

[winged dome]

SE was kind of born from a crummy situation

[tropic forge]

start to think they are enjoying messing whit ppl asking for cc or the panic bottom as being press

[winged dome]

Still waiting, btw

[tropic forge]

dollie mention early it would be a huge reading but did say it wouldt be ASA FaQ

[pine basin]

It wasn't

[vital jetty]

Considering the lawsuit took near all the money they would have made off of Ark as a settlement, It was either that or have the company go under.

Wild how many people hold this above them when they only did it out of necessity lmao.

[winged dome]

^

[pine basin]

SE was planned since the beginning

[vital jetty]

They're referring to the release of it during EA.

[pine basin]

But they needed to release it as a paid dlc

[tropic forge]

i already said that wasent the case snails already own wc before SE was available to buy

[pine basin]

it was supposed to be release during EA, but for free

[verbal wind]

but then the lawsuit, and plans changed

[tropic forge]

never read that on any website

[vital jetty]

I don't recall them saying it was going to be free anywhere. Source?

[winged dome]

Scorched was released Sept '16, WC bought by Snail in Dec '16

[vital jetty]

Snail came in during the issues, and most likely paid for the lawsuit, that means WC had to make up the money somehow, aka DLC.

[vital jetty]

I was pretty certain they came in after the fact. thanks for clearing that up lol. Was pretty certain it happened after scorched dropped.

Makes sense, since even w/ the DLC they'd be scrapped for cash flow.

[noble jewel]

I mean yes, that would have sucked if they went under, but really.... know a good way to not lose 40 mill? Don't do something to get sued, and most certainly don't lose. Either way, a DLC for an EA title was super sketchy for many people, me included. Still poured thousands of hours into ark, so it doesn't really matter anyway :^)

[tropic forge]

60

[noble jewel]

More than I make for sure

[winged dome]

Got my money's worth, not a single regretted cent on this game or DLCs

Probably even 100x over 😂

I play this game too much 🥹

[noble jewel]

Oh, yeah. Totally gotten my monies worth as well. I've paid 60 bucks for games i've only played once.

[ripe cedar]

december 15

not 16

[winged dome]

Eh? Did I typo

[ripe cedar]

looks like it

[winged dome]

Oh hek

Shh, maybe no one will notice

[ripe cedar]

you realize you can edit messeges?

kek

[winged dome]

No, but then I'd be wrong and look like a doofus

Can't have that

[tropic forge]

ufff no cryos

and best part no gameplay clip

[winged dome]

Chonky crunch though, lot of good info

[tropic forge]

yeh it really sure give good info to make decisions

nothing about spawing pillars, tame count and so on

and almost forgot, no more speedy bobs (not sure how some gen missions will be done, gotta come up whit other ways)

[vital jetty]

No pumping movementspeed, we all gonna get outrun by dodos lmao

[tropic forge]

joke aside, raptors gonna be a problem

[vital jetty]

They were already a problem until you got like 150% MS lol.

[tropic forge]

i used to have about 120 i think but its pve so i dint run much (until gen missions)

[vital jetty]

This seems like a way to inflate the "beginning" of the game. Hope I'm wrong, but base MS was absolute trash.

[tropic forge]

when i read no cryos that raise me a red flag right there, for pve servers thats really bad, trolls love to tame lvl 5 dodos to reach dino cap server

[vital jetty]

I wanted no cryos so I'm happy.

[tropic forge]

yeh that must be good for pvp, no more giga surprises and random raiders from other servers and vanishing

[lofty dust]

No Asa on ps4 😢

[tropic forge]

now the news about wild dino count raise, now that's good news

[mint swan]

Getting hyped for no cryos and no movement speed maybe make the game difficult fo once

Asa going to be awesome

[lofty dust]

There gunna do something different that will make it good

The default movement speed will probably be fast

[tropic forge]

im still shock theres almost no pics or even when gameplay as being deny ppl say asa going to be awesome and gonna buy 1st day

[lofty dust]

And there probably also gunna do something with cryos like a different system

[mint swan]

Default movements already decent

[lofty dust]

I hate it

It’s so slow for me

[mint swan]

Its not like its gonna cost all your lifes savings if you have enough for a device that can run ase you have enough to buy asa

[mint swan]

Im just looking for to real difficulty in the game

Finally make raptors dangerous in the early days

[winged dome]

Flashback to pouncing Raptors

[lofty dust]

There’s gunna be crazy PvP players on day 1 lmao

People on Gigas and imprinted charchas

[tropic forge]

yeh but dosent help at all going all in whitout seeing the product, thats why even triple A companies doing early access games, everyone is falling on the trick while they are banking

you realease ASA can turn into anything since its on early access? by buying it in that stage you are agree for subject to changes

[mint swan]

Patience is a virtue if you dont trust wc then wait till you see other people play i trust that asa is gonna be an absolute banger not saying you have to

[lofty dust]

Damm 11 more hours till official severs shut down that’s crazyy

[mint swan]

Itll be wild thats the fun in it

[tropic forge]

they should be off already

[mint swan]

Early access arguably better than full release

[lofty dust]

It’s not Saturday no?

[fallow niche]

It has already shut down.

#735188572688089229

[lofty dust]

Oh dam already

That’s crazy

I remeber my first time on ark

[mint swan]

Same here

[lofty dust]

I build a beach bob house

And a flying spider which I didn’t know was a bloodtslker came and took me

[mint swan]

I joined a server grinded out a pt and got insta killed right away by a level 300+ lightning wyvern

Memories am i right

[lofty dust]

Lighting wuverns were so good

Insta kill literally anything

[calm meteor]

Hey guys, so much information about ASA and I know most of you will play on server. But there's one question no one asks. What is about the local multiplayersystem for playing just with family and friends without hosting an own server?

[winged dome]

Probably relatively similar to current options. Dedicated or Non-dedicated

[tropic forge]

that aint the only question that asent being answered

[tardy spruce]

Anyone know if there will be split screen on console like ASE

[tropic forge]

gotta read the new cc

[tardy spruce]

Yeah I have but didn’t see anything about that

[lofty dust]

Was there split screen on ark?

[tropic forge]

then thats the correct answer for your question

[tardy spruce]

Yeah in single player

You just press options on the second controller

[lofty dust]

There prob still be split screen on signle player if not than they’ll add it later on

[calm meteor]

Do you think they can fix the problem that you can't use the full map in local multiplayer? In ASE we can't because always our chars were teleported to the host or the game was not playable anymore if we adjust the settings

[tropic forge]

well its UE5 so we dont know

think thats more a question of hardware since that local multiplayer is making that machine as a server and platform to be play so if others go around the map and loading more dinos caves so on puts more stress on that machine, thats what i think but i can be wrong

[sullen turret]

Ark 2 mobile version

[tropic forge]

whit mtx

gotta support your game right 🤣

[calm meteor]

Maybe this could be a problem too but Ark is not the only game we play in this way but the only we hat such problems with.

[tropic forge]

gotta wait to see, since ASA will be for next gen consoles and its UE5 that might not be a problem but you gotta wait to see or for them to say something about it

[winged dome]

That's already solvable in ASE. Increase tether distance

[calm meteor]

We did this and then the game isn't playable anymore. It is like an earthquake on desktop😵‍💫

[tropic crag]

Not be on Discord, for starters

[blissful perch]

@winged dome how could you not @ me on this cc release??

No movement speed boosts meant WC heard our little chats 😉

I’m also very curious about what they mean in the mutations section. Looks like they’re decoupling them from wild levels, but I don’t really understand what “their own multiplier” means. Perhaps it means that mutations won’t result in exponentially stronger player added tame levels?

[ripe cedar]

it probably still will lets be honest, they said they weren't changing the meta much

[dapper narwhal]

Has anything else gotten released

[blissful perch]

255 incremental stat boosts is a big deal still ofc - but the nerf of exponential stat growth and no movement speed is nothing to sneeze at either

[dapper narwhal]

Wait to you cant upgrade player speed anymore?

[ripe cedar]

movement speed changes technically buffs fliers and breeding because fliers already couldn't use movement speed anyway and im guessing you wont be able to get speed mutations as a waste anymore

[dapper narwhal]

Wait so you can’t even upgrade movement speed anymore on players?

[ripe cedar]

cant upgrade movement speed on anything, (only for official) optional on unofficial

[blissful perch]

It makes things 1/6 instead of 1/7, but imo that’s not a stat buff - just a mutation speed buff for non-fliers

[dapper narwhal]

@ripe cedar that’s the most bull shit ever I’m not even playing offical now LOL movement speed is a key part of the game

[blissful perch]

Tbh this is slept on for how based it is

[ripe cedar]

most of the people whos opinions I care about seem to like it

[blissful perch]

WC showing interest in pvpve and making the wildlife feel remotely threatening is a good move

I also liked the note about them reading our chats lol

[dapper narwhal]

I can’t believe they making it where speed can’t be leveled wtf

[blissful perch]

I’m a bit surprised too - didn’t expect such a solid change to go into officials

[ripe cedar]

time to study every creatures exact movement speed both base and imprinted

[blissful perch]

I do wonder if imprinting won’t alter speed since it’s no longer a stat

[ripe cedar]

idk why they couldnt have saved rhynio for lost island tohugh

[ripe cedar]

I mean it does on snow owls so idk

i forget if it does on water dinos too because I dont play ark

[blissful perch]

I believe that’s because imprinting worked on base speed stats before flier leveling was removed (so it was a grandfathered thing)

[ripe cedar]

yeah but owls were added over a year and a half after that

so idk

they just forgor

[blissful perch]

I mean my guess is the owl was built off the PT blueprint lol

[ripe cedar]

i wonder what the rex-spino/ratio will be at first because spinos tame faster but are rarer and are almost 50% faster especially with water buff but rex has like 40% more hp

[blissful perch]

Hard to say. My guess is that the Rex’s general utility will make it a likely pick

[ripe cedar]

probably because there are like no spinos on the island

i guess we will see how spawn rates change if at all

[blissful perch]

I do wonder if they tweak those spawn zones

Or the weird issues like servers slowly running out of spinos over time

[ripe cedar]

my biggest unanswered question is still on xp notes, them not being mentioned either means they arent changed at all or dollie just forgot to mention them idk

[blissful perch]

Gonna guess unchanged tbh

But there was a spot for “other balance changes” so it’s hard to confirm

[blissful perch]

They’d just be notes

The exp part would be removed because it breaks the hell out of the game’s progression to get 100 levels from just running around like a chimp getting notes

[lime forge]

I don’t think tame meta is gonna change based on no movement speed. Not many people were investing in it to begin with.

[blissful perch]

Depends on imprints tbh for tames. But the foot meta is gonne be worlds different

[lime forge]

Yeah I’m gonna be relearning basic survival for sure. Can’t even out run a fuckin trike lol

[vital jetty]

GL doing note runs w/o speed increase. Gonna have to tame a dino for that now.

[blissful perch]

Secretly glad I boycotted speed and stopped using it since 2018 😂

[lime forge]

I’m bummed they removed it entirely, I’d much rather have seen it heavily nerfed. But I’m still excited for the challenge. This should actually do a lot of good for early and mid game.

[vital jetty]

it was necesary in PvP. If they don't up the speed from what the current base is, everyone is getting hit with Bolas and mauled to death by every pvp dino. Imo it basically gets RID of ground pvp depending on what the base MS is.

[blissful perch]

Imo “other balance” should correct to that new reasonable standard

Best to beat jank with comprehensive fixes than just shrugging and allowing more jank. And unchecked movement speed was jank AND balance breaking

[vital jetty]

Suppose we shall see. Hope their gameplay trailer shows people running when it's released compared to some dinos in the same scene.

[blissful perch]

Yea that’ll be good

[tropic crag]

I see this as an absolute win

[exotic moss]

No it's not, speed hasn't mattered since extinction.

Why are people talking about the remaster in ark 2?

[stray elm]

Cause we don't have a dedicated ASA channel yet, so we're using this as a substitute until then.

[tribal chasm]

well will Focal Chili still buff speed

or swamp disease

[stray elm]

Good question.

[tribal chasm]

there was a whole conversation about swamp fever here the other day, would be funny if now all of a sudden it's 'kewl' to have it just for the movement speed
(not that people didn't already use that feature, but now it would be even more in demand)

[stray elm]

They might've thought of that and removed that ability.

[fast isle]

Big w community crunch

No idea how not levelling speed is gonna affect the game but

W community crunch

[tribal chasm]

Actually ima delete my comment, but I mean -- even currently, you have ways to boost your characters speed outside of dinos in silly ways. Like parachuting/grapple hooks. It just feels odd that instead of people running around like ants, you might see people using the things above a lot more.
Also, looking forward to the new Ark music xD

[proven temple]

Wild that it’s less than 1 month to release and there’s been 0 proper showcasing of the game

[dusty oyster]

Wil the devs again support cheaters on official? And the dupers?

[stuck dagger]

has there been any news in the last year on whether ark 2 will be more pvp or pve focused?

[manic panther]

What map releases cryopods?

[split dove]

it will have more pve elements compared to Ark 1, but Ark 2 is still gonna have both pvp and pve. currently the steam page lists new things and changes like

• Hostile PvE force (Aratai (orc people) )

Hostile 'Aratai' hunt & attack you riding their own tamed creatures, as they seek to drive human interlopers from their world.

• Component based item crafting

Construct your weapons and tools from a range of distinct modules to customize their look and functionality -- millions of possible combinations enable you to craft your own unique gear! The specific materials you choose will further affect the appearance of your items, with multiple options of resources found in unique regions of the world.

• Sensory-based creature ai that will hunt based on smell, sound and sight while also being able to navigate around structures

No omnipresent radar -- animals now track and hunt by sight, sound, and smell! Hide from predators with visual camouflage and environmental obstructions, and learn to mask your scent! Dynamic pathfinding enables creatures to intelligently maneuver around obstacles and player-built structures.

• Dynamic world events wich is basicly Ark 1 world events but upgraded

the new World Event system is designed to ensure that unique things are always happening around the world, whether you are there or not. Events include procedurally-dynamic scenarios like watering hole gatherings, wounded creatures, tracking the signs of advanced prey, stampedes, herds, defending endangered creatures to earn their trust, finding dens of parent creatures and their young, and more. Whether you choose to engage with these events is up to you, and each can yield unique rewards and challenges.
New Character progression and a skill system
Gain both experience points from gameplay, and knowledge points by accomplishing key objectives and overcoming unique challenges, to progress along a massive skill tree filled with new active abilities, perks, and passive benefits.

the steam page has more info, but this is the more major parts of new stuff that has a more pve focus

[stuck dagger]

thank you! excited to see ark offering more pve

[grim kestrel]

Glad to see that

[limpid hull]

so ASA is releasing quite soon, how about ARK2? is it in couple of months? not sure to invest time in ASA or wait for ARK2

[grim kestrel]

Ark 2 is slated for late/end 2024 and both Ark 2 and ASA will be supported actively together after they are released.

Considering how much different Ark 2 is going to be they want to still provide a next gen original Ark experience hence one of the many reasons for ASA. As well to help fund Ark 2 development.

[dull depot]

What’s the difference between asa and ark 2

[grim kestrel]

Ark 2 is a completely new game designed around a primitive style and souls-like combat

ASA is a next gen original Ark experience.

[dull depot]

Does ark 2 new gen aswell?

[split dove]

ASA and ARK 2 (at launch just timed exclusive for pc and Xbox, but that can always change) are gonna be next gen only, why wouldn't it be when it's targeting a late 2024 release with new gen being out for 3 years already?

[lime forge]

Change you PfP back I didn’t even recognize you.

[split dove]

nah

[lime forge]

Yah

[split dove]

Nuh uh

[lime forge]

Fine I’ll adapt

[split dove]

[lime forge]

Ark2 should have fireballs

[split dove]

alien plants should make us firebenders, they got goddam leaf chameleons on that planet

[orchid holly]

E

[untold ingot]

No movement speed leveling on official, let's goooo

[tropic crag]

Ah yes, scam link, let me click that for sure LMAO

[winged dome]

@dodomail

[tropic crag]

Staemcornunmimity, sounds legit lmao

[winged dome]

Err
@bright ore

[tropic crag]

It's like a russian bot can't tell that we can just hover over the link and see the real markdown

[winged dome]

Dunno why DodoMail tags are like 50/50 if they work or not

[tropic crag]

I already dm'd as well, surprised the link was up that long

[winged dome]

Multiple channels too

[astral token]

Hmm

[tropic crag]

Quite a few yeah, hope nobody was dumb enough (somebody probably was chances are, but it is late so idk maybe they got lucky)

[winged dome]

Why skull Roy?

Typing dodomail doesn't always properly link the profile for mod pings

[winged dome]

This one didn't work 🤷

[tropic crag]

It was a skull of solidarity

[winged dome]

I prefer the clink of camaraderie 🍻

[astral token]

It was indeed, a skull of solidarity

[indigo axle]

Honestly asa is stupid, everyones gonna play it for a 1-3 years and then ark 2 will come out and it will be buggy as hell, if they didnt waste budget on asa and just put it into ark 2 and animated series everything would be good

And not everyones gonna buy asa

Its like 70 euro

[tropic crag]

Ark 2 is going to be an entirely different experience, and the playerbase literally begged WC to remake Ark 1 instead, which is what they're doing now

You can please some of the people all of the time, or all of the people some of the time, but never all of the people all of the time

It is what it is

Find a different game to play if it makes you that upset

Maybe get a hobby

Build a house

Idk

[split dove]

touch some fertile soil

[true fox]

finally, actual info! so wonderful

no pods on day 1!

sadly I'll be at disney until halloween

What ping @prime lark ? With banned link too

[tropic crag]

Was it one of those "who pinged me hurrdurr" idiots

Hate that shit, so cringe on top of the fact that they usually have a scam or virus link in their bio

[marble basin]

Its 40

[vital jetty]

once upon a time it was meta for the MS boost, so it wouldn't be surprising. Given depending on how slow the base MS is now, it might not be worth the minor boost it gives now.

[winged dome]

I guarantee it will be the new meta

[vital jetty]

Depends on whether you can outrun dinos with it or not. If you're still so slow that dinos outpace you even with the disease, then it isn't worth the stat decreases to everything else.

[tropic crag]

Any boost to speed will make you faster than other players, which if we're being honest is what you'll likely be running from more if you're on foot anyways

[river nymph]

anyone wanna play ark with me?

[eternal wigeon]

Sure, let's play officials rn

[river nymph]

whats that?

[winged dome]

Wrong channel, try #1110949794907684965

[river nymph]

@winged dome sorry didn't know

[pine basin]

No MS for all the tames also, the island will feel really big now

[split dove]

''how to make the island feel as large as Genesis 2 in 3 easy steps''

[tribal chasm]

I wonder if imprinted 20% boost will still apply (for speed)

[split dove]

good question, seeing as that's not discussed iirc we will have to wait and see ourselves

[winged dome]

Probably still will

[ripe cedar]

I think the real question is will the main menu move again

[split dove]

it did?

[winged dome]

It did

[split dove]

must've been so long ago as i've forgotten, and i've been here from basicly the start

[winged dome]

I realized the other day that dinos don't splash water when walking in shallows anymore

[lavish coral]

MS?

[winged dome]

Movement Speed

[eternal wigeon]

Movement speed won't be an issue for speed hackers 🥹

[grim kestrel]

At least unofficial can still use movement speed.

[pine basin]

They did before? Only animation/effect I remeber them taking out was the x-plants animations

In general ASE looks so much better now compared to 2015

[winged dome]

Yeah, with sound and splash effects

Over time, more and more dinos got custom walking sounds which I guess overwrote the generic splashies
