[jaunty perch]

which already have more loot than they can transfer

[grizzled trail]

Yeah but it’s still fun to fight for loot in small bases

I’ve had fun with it

[jaunty perch]

if im raiding a small base im not really doing it for fun

which is the sentiment ive found most people share

[grizzled trail]

If I raid I like it to be fair

I don’t like to offline people

[jaunty perch]

dude i understand

[grizzled trail]

The only one I accept is when smaller tribes offline bigger ones

[jaunty perch]

i was simpley telling you why

[grizzled trail]

And just so you know,yes I have been before

[jaunty perch]

it happens

[gritty lake]

nobody raids for loot lol

[grizzled trail]

They do it to fuck with others,I honestly raid for loot

[jaunty perch]

so your raiding a rathole for fun

[grizzled trail]

And fun at the same time

[gritty lake]

ye... I'm rich as hell, I popcorn everything. only thing i take are bps and cryos for FFAs I guess

[jaunty perch]

the only thing im talking about is ratholes and small bases

i personally dont do it

[gritty lake]

ark market is fucked. once you know how to get materials, no point in raiding for loot honestly.

[jaunty perch]

i was just saying why people do it

[gritty lake]

fun mostly, also to clear people who don't pay tax

or clear space for people who are willing to pay tax

[jaunty perch]

might not want to talk about that here its technically against tos

[gritty lake]

...tax is not against the rules? lol

[jaunty perch]

it is

on small tribes it is

[gritty lake]

for Small Tribes, yes, but not official

[jaunty perch]

btw rolan small tribes is a lot different with loot compared to 1x

so there is a lot more raiding for loot

[cloud comet]

where did you hear that

[jaunty perch]

its an alliance which is against coc for small tribes

[cloud comet]

ah I see

[tender birch]

....thats some pve shit if ive ever read it

[jaunty perch]

100%

[gritty lake]

lol how

[tender birch]

how?

read it back to me and tell me you play pvp

[gritty lake]

you play pvp and you raid for loot? what loot. if I online raid, they transfer or it gets popcorned, if I offline raid, I'm scum lol

[jaunty perch]

The spirit of Small Tribes servers revolves around small teams working independently and without informal alliances. A tribe working with another is considered teaming and this violates the rules of Smalls and is subject to enforcement action.

quoted exactly from coc

[tender birch]

if theyre online you make them offline... cage them box them kill them

net nogi club

[cloud comet]

[vocal niche]

Who cares about loot really? I PVP for the fun of PVPing. Otherwise what is the point of having 1000 gigas, and breeding lines worked on for months? To stare at it? If they transfer their loot so be it, I'm just in it for the fight. In that same vein, offline raiding is lame unless you actually need the loot or they are a CLEAR threat to your dominance. Not some solo in a rathole. Those who hoard loot and only offline raid should just play PVE. Because what's the point?

[lime spruce]

How do people make the floating ramps? To soak high up bases or chandys

[gritty lake]

fax

[rugged estuary]

because i like getting loot

[cinder kelp]

is there a way to fit an industrial forge in a small cave where the ceiling is too low? (on official) each time i try to place it it says obstructed

[jaunty perch]

no

[woeful nest]

quick question
im currently setting up a pvp ark server. its a 25x but im having trouble setting up dino stats. does anybody have numbers they are willing to share?

[grizzled trail]

Overload weight stats for one

[woeful nest]

well yeah lol

thanks tho

[grizzled trail]

Make sure to keep everything else balance,I recommend buffing health and stamina a lot for a 25x

[vocal niche]

Anybody wanna help me tame a max level reaper? We can both get preggo 😁 (on official)

btw it's a gen 2 reaper, so a bit tougher

[simple forum]

breeding griffins and snow owls with good stats if anyone wants to trade

[bold moth]

griffins aren't breedable

[full sundial]

U sure abt that

[bold moth]

unless I missed an update yes 😂

[full sundial]

Ppl say breeding certain things but mean duping

Like mek breeders

[full sundial]

For ffas and personals

On smalls offline raids are not as rare

[plucky flame]

What is the actual difference between pvp and pve

[full sundial]

Pve u cant atack other players

So its only farming, building and breeding

Theres some other differences like u cant pick wild dinos or grapple them shorter decay timer and more i think

[plucky flame]

Also I'm new to pc ark so I want to know how to find people to play with

[full sundial]

Best is to join a ark ytuber discord and go from there

[plucky flame]

like which youtubers naked zombo, zany zebra, or syntac?

[regal orchid]

or get pc role in #role-assignment then go to either #800537627752398899 or #800537518843756544

or #735196255483068497

[plucky flame]

what would getting a role do?

[regal orchid]

u can access the pc server and recruitment channels in this discord

[plucky flame]

I don't think it did anything.

[regal orchid]

scroll down in the channel list and you’ll find them

[regal orchid]

or do ctrl-r to reload discord and u can click the shortcuts in that message

[plucky flame]

thank you fr

[floral void]

If I turn ele into dust how much dust will get for 100 element?

[fresh kindle]

20% so like 20 element

[hazy bone]

@fresh kindlea thousand

[fresh kindle]

wot

[floral void]

20k?@hazy bone

[fresh kindle]

20k dust to make 20 element, you lose 80% of its value when you dust element

[hazy bone]

100 shards make 1 element 1000 dust makes 1 element

Never turned element into dust though

[regal orchid]

1 ele turns into 200 dust

[hazy bone]

Rip

[floral void]

So 100 element is 20k dust?

[regal orchid]

yh

[floral void]

Kk

[wet bolt]

is there any kind of offline protection in small tribes? currently hiding in my little stone house and these folks are trying to raid my house (it'll be a waste of time though, just joined a couple hours ago and have nothing here lol) and I heard them talking about how I must be offline because they couldn't break the walls or something

[lucid ledge]

What’s the best way to get soakers on small tribes

[rustic hatch]

No, offline protection doesn't exist on smalls

[rustic hatch]

Trade for them, or raid for them. You might have to get a bad stego and do a raid with it to get one

[obtuse steppe]

Anyone have experience as a solo on pvp official I just have some questions if you have the time

[rustic hatch]

Its been awhile since I soloed on official, but I could answer some questions

[burnt veldt]

Looking for 3 man server pvp for ps4 can anyone help

[rotund trout]

official?

[burnt veldt]

Either one really

[rotund trout]

ok

[manic arch]

can anyone give me some tips to start off on extinction pvp?

[steel epoch]

Hello

[rustic hatch]

Gigas into osds, don't live on extinction imo though

[dawn ferry]

@rotund trout #735196277221883964

[manic arch]

its a non up/download server, i heard the velonasaur was a great earlygame turret?

[dawn ferry]

@echo plover #735196277221883964

[honest drum]

Should I be building turret cages out of metal even if I have the ability to build them out of tek double doorframes?

[turbid goblet]

Nope It isnt better make automated turrets

[fresh kindle]

Tek deals extra damage to tek so metal is probably the better option especially where 6x building is concerned.

[manic arch]

cant yet, are gachas any good?

[turbid goblet]

They're decent , but what u want . Dust? Or black pearls?

[honest drum]

Alrighty. Thanks!

[manic arch]

idk, i do know they produce a lot of things and ascendant armor etc

like i played for 1 hr in this server

[turbid goblet]

I wouldnt try to get loot from them , it's just better to run OSDs

[manic arch]

and those are the meteors in between the biomes right?

what is a good dino for that?

[turbid goblet]

Gigas r the best , but reapers will work too. Haven't tested the carchas but they would get Max buffed pretty fast

[manic arch]

and if i cant upload/download dinos? i dont remember any of the first 2 in extinction

[turbid goblet]

U can find gigas near the ice dome

[manic arch]

oh ty

[turbid goblet]

Reapers r only in abb and gen2

[manic arch]

alr ty

so i want to get a giga?

[manic arch]

wait near or in the ice biome?

[turbid goblet]

Yup

[manic arch]

ah ty

how many tranq darts would i want for it?

[turbid goblet]

Depends on the lvl , but I would recommend u dododex for more accurate data . Just be careful and bring a bit more ammunition than dododex recommends as it's not 100% accurate

[manic arch]

tyty, what are some good base spots? i currently have a 2x2 stone box in the city

[turbid goblet]

If I told u It wouldnt be a good spot lmao ( for solos), just don't build where yt recommends . Also It depends on the size of the tribe

[manic arch]

its a 1 player tribe with 3 players and its just with some friends haha

we did 1 player bc otherwise 3 players wont be fun bc we did abberation and then we ended up being all in the same tribe

its on top of a building in the city a good idea? or cliff platforms in the underground?

[storm hill]

Hey, has anyone found a carcha saddle BP in normal map? (Ragnarok, island, valguero, the center)?

[fervent bluff]

I've done a couple of runs of the underwater sea on valguero where you can get giga saddles. I've gotten some more giga saddles, but no carcharo saddles.

[hybrid copper]

Is ark steam just dead or is my game being dumb says there is no one playing any servers anymore

[fervent bluff]

if you see 0/70 on all servers then your game is being dumb

[hybrid copper]

Is there a way to fix?

[fervent bluff]

I don't know. I've never had that issue.

[vocal niche]

I thought the reaper offspring timer pauses when you log off? Logged in today and I'm no longer pregnant

Is that a bug?

[fresh kindle]

It should yes

If you are not online, the timer does not go down.

[worldly star]

Hi, I have two questions:

1. Does someone know if I can bring dinos out of an official pvp server to move on a non-dedicated one?
   I think I cannot do that but I would like to know it for sure.
   Not interested in moving to non-dedicated to pvp but if u know that let me not it too pls.

2. Can I move among single players/non dedicated maps with oblelisks or should I start a new non-dedicated session/world?

Thanks if u will let me have an answer 😄

[jaunty perch]

For the first one the answer is no

You can't bring stuff form official to single player or unofficial

Idk about the second question #pve-discussion or #unofficial-setup-help might know more

[worldly star]

Thank you a lot 👻

[glossy plank]

I wasn't spewing nonsense

[high sand]

The fuck are you on about

You are delusional

[glossy plank]

Read before you write

[high sand]

Don't @ me for stupid bullshit again

[glossy plank]

Mhm

[dawn ferry]

[jaunty perch]

whats going on here

[dawn ferry]

No idea

[turbid goblet]

...

[storm hill]

Hi! Anyone knows where i can find a carcha saddle bp in normal maps? (Rag, island, valguero, the center) i play in prim +

[jaunty perch]

never seen one on those maps i doubt there are any

[storm hill]

Im asking caz maybe its possible in deep sea, ice queen (ragnarok) or desert lootcrates

😐

[rocky trail]

do sleeping dinos take more damage

like if i throw a stego with cryo timer will it soak the same

[jaunty perch]

sleeping dinos dont have an increase in damage taken however cryo sicked dinos do

[opaque stag]

How many stacks does a carch get when killing a baby gig

[jaunty perch]

depends on the health of the gig

it gets taming effectiveness based off of the health

[opaque stag]

No like

Tamed carcha how much of a boost will it get if I unclaim my baby gig

[jaunty perch]

idk

thats based off of health too

[rugged estuary]

is val or ext skylight superior?

[jaunty perch]

probably extinction

[proud elk]

They got put in with the giga so I'd say anywhere u can find a giga bp, you could find a carcha bp

[rocky trail]

anyone know any good severs to play

[floral void]

@rocky trail yo pm i have a bunch haha

[crimson stump]

Anyone wish tek wasn't added to the game or is it just me (and gen2 personally)

[crisp sapphire]

fjordur ice cave drops carch bp alot alot

[slim fractal]

3RAB?

[proud elk]

Mmmm I have heard people complain about everything from extinction onwards... But that's how progress works. You don't always get it right but you got to keep moving forward

[crimson stump]

ive got 5k hours in pvp and i really wish it was a primitive game still. Hope they do that in ark 2

[proud elk]

Isn't there a primitive plus version also?

[jaunty perch]

i have 10k hours in pvp and im glad it isnt a primitive game

[rocky trail]

Fob up pc 1x 780

[crimson stump]

by primitive i mean no tek, tek makes all the pvp very cheesy

[proud elk]

I mean.... No Tek means no maewings, and I ain't hand feeding babies

[crimson stump]

you aint played before maewings?

the pvp before genesis 1 was honestly pretty decent

[proud elk]

I didn't say that. I said I'm not hand feeding 😁

[crimson stump]

good thing a nanny exists if you arent crazy enough to play official

[proud elk]

Not on console

[crimson stump]

Well yeah i have 2k hours in console, hand filling turrets is worse imo. But theres ammo box ig

[proud elk]

Not wrong

[crimson stump]

also not tek doesnt mean no maewings. Id just get rid of the tek rifle, tek launcher, tek armor, etc. Ways to easily bypass turrets or easily pvp with no skill (no offense to tek bobs its a meta)

[proud elk]

Just figured if no Tek, no point in gen

[crimson stump]

yeah well gen without a suit would be interesting tho

astro and maewing would be main way to get around

[proud elk]

See that I could live with

Actually would be dope

[crimson stump]

PC Ark man

theres no suits on a lot of pvp unofficial

no fed suits atleast

[proud elk]

Yea I got a pc just don't wanna buy ark again lol

[crimson stump]

Yeah im weird

I have all dlcs on both ps4 and pc

[proud elk]

Nah not really man, if you play and put time into it.... Then whose to say it's silly

People spend silly amounts on hobbies😁

[crimson stump]

yeah fs

i wish it wasnt highest play time = alpha in this game

[proud elk]

Ever tried arkpoc?

Looked interesting

[crimson stump]

Havent tried it

it one of the more grindy ones tho

[proud elk]

Yea, but monthly wipes so you get to race to the top

[crimson stump]

Its on a month cycle with #server-rates of whatever meaning people play 24/7 to be the best and raid the most in the first week or two

[proud elk]

Yea I've heard it's dead after the first week

[crimson stump]

3x taming man. To tame all your dinos gonna take like 6-8 hours each. Im lucky to get 3 hours to game a day

[crimson stump]

Its definitely worth a try if you got the time and skill to put into it. Atleast on PC idk how pop is on ps4

[proud elk]

I mean I spent a majority of my time in pve, but PvP these days... Yea. Might have to try it after the event

Least it's not as toxic as rust 😂ngl sometimes that's what ya want

[crimson stump]

I figured when u talked abt the maewing tbh. I’ve barely done pve and thinking about doing a run through of each map and each boss but idk

[proud elk]

My tribe is mostly PvP players that have gotten board after years 😂 so I took em threw all the bosses and they taught me pvp

[crimson stump]

Oh trust me it’s toxic af. Especially arkpoc( basically official). You take a big cave and u will have people at your base for hours at a time just to slow you down.

[proud elk]

Still got to do king Titan tho

[crimson stump]

Yeah I know the pvp ways to do every boss which is basically cheese them all. Almost all pvp players can do all of island without a dino and I find it dumb af. Never mind center and abb boss

[proud elk]

Yea we used the cheeses for PvP but on pve we breed for em

[crimson stump]

Mhm

[proud elk]

Shadows kinda take the fun out sometimes tho

Was interesting to see how the dinos in pve and PvP act differently sometimes

[crimson stump]

Shadows ruined pvp for me at first and then I got used to them. Very OP pvp dino. Desmo can be ridiculous when breed to a high hp on boosted servers. Just two that lately been annoying to me

[proud elk]

Yea I can see why. In pve wild shadows don't desaddle u on a giga. Was a shock when I came to PvP 😂

[crimson stump]

Yep lol

There jump is ridiculously high for wyverns too

Shadow and giga is one of the best duos you can kill everything with it

[proud elk]

Yea the only wild threat in pve once u got a giga is noglins

[crimson stump]

Yeah

And gigas are so easy to get to

I hope a top carnivore is Harder to acquire in ark 2

[proud elk]

Me too

[feral osprey]

Hey so I'm breeding my velos for mutations, is it viable to mutate both hp and melee in the same line? or should I keep them separate, problem I see with doing both stats in one line is you might get a mutation in one stat but the other good stat didn't carry over. Seems like to much hassle that way, appreciate any advice

[fresh kindle]

From an official standpoint: You can only have a maximum of 255 points into a stat (for breeding purposes, you want to go to 253 or 254 points so you can actually level up the stat) so it is viable to also mutate health. You will probably want to mutate stamina but I digress.

IMO it might be easier to have separate melee and separate health lines, then combine them as needed.

[fervent bluff]

I haven't done the math, but I think it's more efficient to breed each stat separately and then combine at the end. If nothing else, that allows you to get 20 mutations in each stat while mutations are possible in both parents

My intuition tells me that it might depend on the number of females you have available though. If you have an infinite number of females, you'd be guaranteed to get a male baby with a useful mutation and both good stats during each cycle, so your limitation would only be raising the baby.

Although, if you have infinite females, you might as well run 2 parallel breeding lines and get 2 mutations per cycle instead of 1.

[feral osprey]

I appreciate the feedback, I think If you have enough females out it probably just becomes more efficient to run 2 separate lines for each stat anyways so thx for helping me run through that

[rugged estuary]

kapro pvp is fun

[full sundial]

U have capped line on 1x?

[jaunty perch]

do you not know how to tame?

[crimson stump]

Do I play official ? No ? I know there’s a way to starve faster but idk if that works still. Just because you don’t touch grass and know every meta known to man doesn’t mean it’s a good thing

3x taming should take the time that 3x taming takes. Shouldn’t be able ti get around that but people probably have figured out a way to ruin the game

They also have fixed the time to tame completely if we talking about old ark timers were a lot longer then they are now

[vagrant kraken]

use kibble/mutton

[crimson stump]

Yes yes Ik. Time is like 30 mins with that and a hour with others. I haven’t played anything under 5x In like 2-3 years. Have the rates gotten messed with ? Like starving

[jaunty perch]

You said it took 6-8 hours to tame something

[proud elk]

Not that I'm aware of

[crimson stump]

When this game first came out was last time I played official. 2016ish and raw mutton wasn’t in the game. Taming took a long ass time because of this bc you couldn’t get kibble without tames. Also time to tame was longer I remember idk if the changed the starve time on official but it def was longer for prime meat for say a 150 gig(takes 2 hours rn) I remember it took like 6-12 for gigs and quetzals an shit

Didn’t realize they made official light work for taking

Taming

[proud elk]

Oh yea that was a few years back I think. The rates became 2x I think it was. And the kibble got an update so u only really need the top kibble for everything almost

[crimson stump]

Yeah they kinda made it too easy for taming. Like you used to have to get specific Dino kibble which I liked

Rex kibble, quetz kibble etc

[jaunty perch]

Devs hopefully did a good job today

Here's hoping they actually banned the person

[proud elk]

Can only hope

[proud elk]

Yea they tried to make it easy for new people and went a bit far

[jaunty perch]

Game in general is too easy lol

Even on official

[proud elk]

Yea, the learning stage was fun. After that it's just rince and repeat

[jaunty perch]

Especially since I have 10k hours lol

[crimson stump]

U ever get to play when mutton wasn’t a thing

[jaunty perch]

Started playing when ab was released

Honestly don't remember if mutton was a thing back then

[rugged estuary]

would immune cave on lost be a good second base spot?

[fresh kindle]

Mutton was before Ab, it was out before I first quit playing the game and that was before Aberration. I remember mutton was so OP it got nerfed

[jaunty perch]

yet another singleplayer glitch fixed instead of the public godmode @wide wren @topaz basalt @fluid magnet @vapid abyss

[opaque stag]

🗿

[turbid goblet]

lmao they dont care , pinging them wont do anything

[opaque stag]

[jaunty perch]

i know

still fucking annoying

[craggy path]

no dev connected . all the small tribes are being meshed by the same tribe and the dev are not @wide wren @topaz basalt @fluid magnet @vapid abyss

[opaque stag]

Bruh I didnt even know that was an exploit 💀

[craggy path]

All the streamers are showing live the cheats they do and the devs are off

everyone when ark 2 comes out will only go in to meshear, aimbotear, dupp

[idle pecan]

imagine pinging all the admins

[craggy path]

that they come out to explain why there is no dev 1 week ago

[idle pecan]

what?

[craggy path]

They haven't responded to tickets for a week

[idle pecan]

prob busy and also they dont care too much anyway

[versed vine]

hopefully unreal engine 6 = anticheat

[craggy path]

🤣

[jaunty perch]

lmao

[lament kite]

pm me for trades on xbox 1x <<<<<<

[true topaz]

Do you have gigas FFA for sale? I can only pay with dust (Xbox Small tribes) @everyone

[flint wedge]

Anyone able to teach me how to play pvp servers well?

[elfin aspen]

Devs don’t respond to tickets, that’s enforcement and customer service

[teal viper]

official pvp fucks you up mentally, every time i would log in i would be praying that my base and my pets didn't die horribly, the loading screen music still makes my heart rate jump a little even though i'm just loading into singleplayer

[flint wedge]

Ig not?

[vast dust]

#735196255483068497

Lots of folks looking for tribemates and stuff.

[flint wedge]

Idk if I'm rly looking for a wipe or not, just wanna learn it, plus either they dont look too appealing of servers or I'm not old enough for them

[vast dust]

That channel is 95% people on Official servers.

The other ones are server ad channels.

[young sentinel]

How many tek jump pads do you need vertically to stop a quetzal poke? Like is 1 sufficient enough or do you need more?

[flint wedge]

And anyone able to teach me how to breed well?

[pure orchid]

Breed male with 0 0 females

[flint wedge]

?

[turbid goblet]

Sus

...

I wont even upload a ticket cuz they don't care

That's the funny thing

And if they could , they wouldnt do It cuz ya know . Laziness

Still

They're bs

[spring niche]

Drop it and move on

Remember to dm dodomail if a user has broken rules.

hello everyone, in about 7 days I will start selling stuff, dinos, dust, bullet and others at unbeatable prices. Come in private message for more information. Official ps4 server

[rugged estuary]

nobody asked

[floral void]

Whats the best way to farm element on smalls?

[vast shard]

Should I buy ark to play pvp again but on PC

Alth pvp on ark ant pvp it's wipe simulator

Idk is ark on PC easyer to find tribes

[jaunty perch]

Gen 2

[floral void]

@jaunty perch where on Gen 2

Cause I never see any purple drops out so I can farm in space biome

[jaunty perch]

You wait till purple drops spawn

[ionic drift]

yo whats the best way to get past species X plants

[jaunty perch]

Walk up and rifle then

Them

They do 0 damage

[cloud comet]

they do 32 damage

[ionic drift]

So i can just use a rifle againt them right?

[cloud comet]

can use tek rifle from a distance to destroy them, yes

[jaunty perch]

Not if u have good flak

[dusky wind]

hello i have found a nice base spot but i dont know if its a mesh spot it has 1 entrance and u use bed to get there and place tp to get in and out is this bannable?

[cloud comet]

that’s true but saying they do 0 damage would mean there is no risk of dying but they can eventually break your armor and kill you

[cloud comet]

if you need to use a bed to get into it, it’s bannable

[dusky wind]

rly?

how

please explain 🙂

[dawn ferry]

Yes. Would count as an exploit to get into the mesh.

See code of conduct, it is linked in #reporting-players.

[dusky wind]

well its a hole where u put a foundation and bed

[dawn ferry]

Again. If you have to use a bed to get into it, it's most likely a mesh area. #bug-reports for the spot.

[dusky wind]

its not meshing inside an object cuz it has a gap right?

[fresh kindle]

If you have to use tricks to get into a spot, it's an illegal build spot because it's considered going into the mesh.

[dusky wind]

thankyou

[dusky wind]

and do u get banned from it?

what will happen if you build in one

[fresh kindle]

Don't build in one, easy peasy. 🙂

[dusky wind]

what about if u can use grapple hooks to get into it

that wont count as mesh cause people raiding can grapple through aswell right?

[fresh kindle]

Respectfully, the moderation team here are community volunteers and we're not reliable interpreters of Ark's Code of Conduct. If you're trying to justify building in a spot, you probably shouldn't build in it lol

[dusky wind]

nah it was a question

[dusky wind]

is ark 2 going to fix meshing and anti cheat cause this ark is gone

@fresh kindle and what does ark warn you if you build in a mesh spot

what would happen? 🙂

[fresh kindle]

Again, the discord team is just community volunteers. I play the game, too. I don't have the answers to your questions.

[dusky wind]

oh ok cuz i heard that you get banned with no warning and get dev wiped

[fresh kindle]

It is certainly a possibility either way

[dusky wind]

as a mod do you think ark should fix their game?

[gritty lake]

grappling, needing a bed, using a flier, or other means of getting into tricky base spots are considered unintended game spots and are subject to bans and wipes

[dusky wind]

so theres no warning that you might be living in a mesh spot?

[gritty lake]

if you are unsure, you can contact support and ask if something is a mesh spot

[rugged estuary]

the only time wc does something is if someone is in a meshhole

[gritty lake]

but honestly, if you have to ask, it's probably not allowed

[jaunty perch]

Using a flyer to get to a spot is not bannable mate

[gritty lake]

I was referring to using something like a pelagornis to get through a small hole

[jaunty perch]

Ok

[gritty lake]

which is bannable

[jaunty perch]

I know

[dusky wind]

hopefully ark 2 gets signed with EAC

[dusky wind]

people still build on crystal isles with the pelagonis spot

[gritty lake]

ok. just because they don't get banned doesn't mean they won't get banned.

[dusky wind]

yeah true but why make a new game when they can fix the old game 😂

[gritty lake]

because ark 2 is an entirely different vision. it has no tek, it has souls like mechanics, and its third person only.

[dusky wind]

im pretty sure its going to have the same old servers and BE

[gritty lake]

what?

[dusky wind]

ark 2

[gritty lake]

what about it?

[dusky wind]

its gonna use arks old servers xD

and have the same anticheat

[gritty lake]

no, ark servers are staying.

[dusky wind]

yeah

[gritty lake]

yeah they are probably going to use battleeye. what about it?

[dusky wind]

its ass

every 1 in 2 people cheats

[gritty lake]

that's just wrong. there are cheaters in every game. there's no magical "fix all" when it comes to cheating. every game has cheaters.

[dusky wind]

yes but ark cheats dont get banned

its easy to bypass battleeye

[gritty lake]

lol ok

[fresh kindle]

[rugged estuary]

because the code is to spaghetti to be saved lmao

[dusky wind]

😂

so they make new game lmoao

[rugged estuary]

yes

[dusky wind]

its so stupid lmao

[cloud comet]

Every anti-cheat can be bypassed, something is better than nothing

[rugged estuary]

also i prefer my anticheat not kernel level

[dusky wind]

get EAC or sign contract with Vanguard

[fresh kindle]

Ark1 is made on Unreal Engine 4.5 which is so ancient they don't even teach it anymore. 😂 Some issues with Ark are inherently flaws of UE, and they can only be fixed by recoding the game... ergo Ark 2. The game is just that old.

[gritty lake]

not only that, but have you seen the list of features in ark 2? it's literally an entirely different game

[fresh kindle]

UE5 is absolutely MASSIVE in terms of game dev and what can be done

[dusky wind]

nah

[regal belfry]

actually no

just ark with diff graphics

[dusky wind]

better graphics
camera third person
different maps

its the same

they can copy the code from their ass one they didnt organise

[regal belfry]

didnt even compress it

hence why the game is 400gb

[dusky wind]

yeah and now that its gonna be UE5 its gonna be 1000gb 😄

so pointless + ark already fcks up your frames

[gritty lake]

Yeah, let's get rid of TEK, extinction, genesis, aberration, and anything tekwise, completely rework the combat system, and you tell me ARK is the same game.

[dusky wind]

lmfao u good?

still same game whole point of ark is raiding and dinos

[fresh kindle]

I'm starting to think that someone's just here to troll so maybe try not to feed them too much 😅

[dusky wind]

maps will have similar structre and tek we dont care

[gritty lake]

Fr

[turbid goblet]

Too much hype for a new game but the devs r the same , so no hope for it

[dusky wind]

^

[regal belfry]

tek is good imo

[gritty lake]

actually I think the devs are different

[gritty lake]

never said it wasn't 🤷‍♂️

[turbid goblet]

it's wc

[gritty lake]

same "team", different developers

[turbid goblet]

Idk each dev so I'll trust u

[dawn ferry]

Ark2 is much of the same team if I'm not mistaken.

It's still Wildcard.

[dusky wind]

no 💀

[red pilot]

(to be fair, they are already recoding it for the switch)

[jaunty perch]

wildcard isnt the one coding the switch

version

[fresh kindle]

Yeah that's Grapeshot Games or whatever the sister studio is called.

[turbid goblet]

Its grove street games if I'm not wrong

[fresh kindle]

I do think Ark2 has different devs because people have been hired to the company to work on the game, like codigoalex for example.

So a lot of the same, but also new.

[turbid goblet]

Codigoalex is just working for SOTF not Ark II

[fresh kindle]

I swore it was both but I yam wrong

[rugged estuary]

its from the gta trilogy guys

[topaz brook]

Anyone kno why my gachas on gacha tower don’t give 180 dust per crystal they are mate boosted and 16 doorframes apart from each other and have metal and owl pellets

[jaunty perch]

crafting skill leveled?

[topaz brook]

Yh bro 150

[dense scarab]

Why did they change crystal wyverns tame to level 65

Literally the most useless update

[turbid goblet]

Pretty sure they were like that from start

[dense scarab]

I'm pretty sure they weren't

[heady vortex]

they were always like lvl 60something+ or so for taming when it came out

even on the mod map (though i am not a 100% on the mod map anymore, been too long. but once it went official it had this min level requirement)

[jaunty perch]

were like that from the start

[rocky trail]

long term, map fjordur , 16+, unofficial

[cloud comet]

#735196255483068497

[vapid elk]

any know about any server without mods for steam, that have wiped soon or are wiping soon?

full pvp

[rustic hatch]

Arkpoc is probably the only steam unofficial without mods

But it's technically not unofficial

[vapid elk]

you have discord server/page of Arkpoc?

[rustic hatch]

There isnt one

Arkpoc is the official server cluster that wipes monthly

[hoary osprey]

I Am a novice player, who can take me to play with it?

[slim geyser]

smh lol

[jaunty perch]

dissapointed in the devs

[vocal niche]

Is steam version also overrun with cheaters?

[grim lynx]

Would the giga and carcha fight in the wild

[turbid goblet]

Nope

[normal frigate]

It's stupid yeah but you can easily get that with a note run even on 1x

[red pilot]

spicy suggestion
you shouldn't be able to see enemy structure decay timer (or alternately, you shouldn't be able to see the hours, minutes, or seconds in decay timer until last day of decay)

[lucid crown]

When does ark poc wipes

?

[verbal temple]

is carcha op in pvp?

[spiral maple]

Its kinda shit just use it for osds but between the time people are selling capped melee Carcharodontosauruses ark II is already released so just stick to gigas in no wipe servers

[red pilot]

carchar good on fresh wipe clusters

[knotty mesa]

Anyone have any dinos I can have ?

[gusty vapor]

start today a event ?

[dawn ferry]

If we get an event, it'll be shared in #announcements or #766826918803800074 once they have an update for us. #server-rates may update before they announce anything.

[warped jolt]

Which servers you on

[silk merlin]

ffs i tranfer to another server and my half dinos disapeared

ark data and bullshits

anyone have same promblem?

[umbral siren]

nice glitch always crash when buy something in genesis shop

[spare sentinel]

PvP 18 rag

[jaunty perch]

nah

[ionic vine]

I will conquer all servers by taming the most powerful creatures. An army of dragons to level houses, a Titanasaur to dominate.

[wintry scarab]

@dusty moat Please visit #role-assignment, pick your platform, and the post in the correct recruitment channel.

[wispy sorrel]

All over ark pvp is overrun

[rain echo]

Good luck 🙂 🙂

[knotty mesa]

[silver island]

is there a lvl requirement for lost island boss?

[dawn ferry]

#bobs-with-probs for ingame help (players helping players), but no I do not think it does.

[jaunty perch]

The wiki

[young dust]

so if i'm picked up by a flyer, whip will make it drop me. if i whip them again, it will dismount them right? but i used a whip on a maewing and i don't think it did anything

[jaunty perch]

whips will only disable dismount players off of certain dinos

[tidal jungle]

Someone dm me there mana stats please

[spiral maple]

Everyone is using 254 Melee manas which are capped

[deep hill]

yo aint there an ark classic discord

[floral void]

Is this the Thanksgiving event? Or?

[cloud comet]

Yes oops

[wintry scarab]

Thanksgiving event, Turkey Trials 6, starts on Nov 22.

Check #announcements.

Right now, this is just a regular weekend EVO. Also covered in #announcements.

[mystic hearth]

Anyone trying to play LDL?

No strong alpha yet, server is pretty fresh…

[floral void]

@cloud comet dang cause I heard there is another event on Tuesday

@cloud comet

Mb for @

[cloud comet]

i was wrong, just an evo event right now, thanksgiving event starts on the 22nd

[floral void]

Oh ok thanks sorry for bothering ya

[cloud comet]

all good

[hexed hinge]

anyone know why Small Tribe's rates for "3x" are only going up to 4.5x? they have always went up to 5.5x for as long as i can remember. now this weekend, and the thanksgiving event, it will only go to 4.5x

[cloud comet]

because they decided to do it that way

[hexed hinge]

ark cant math i guess. 4.5 isnt even 2x normal rates, let alone 3x

[gilded knoll]

What lvl will I get if I do a Island not run at 3x

[regal belfry]

70-75 i think

[jaunty perch]

for a long time they have only been going up to 4.5x

[grizzled matrix]

do an ext note run, save island run for swamp cave

[jaunty perch]

island swamp cave is not good

[grizzled matrix]

lazy mans option

but true

[jaunty perch]

i can go from level one to level 120 in less than one extinction osd

[grizzled matrix]

i mean if he's fresh doing a note run probs not ready to run osd's aha. but yeah, good way to do your chibi as well

[jaunty perch]

could have gotten banned or something

[grizzled matrix]

in theory of course, everyone here is legit

[jaunty perch]

you can easily get false banned on ark

and there are many ways to false ban people

[solar marsh]

does any1 got a good server to play on pc

[woven mountain]

does anyone know how to counter cheat that lets you turn off enemy gens and turrets? some bozo was turning off our gen that was boxed inside the force field

[cloud comet]

[dusk geode]

what is the best map for surviving as solo and Starting as solo

[rustic hatch]

Depends on what cluster, and how good you are with the maps

[rustic hatch]

#reporting-players

[feral valley]

Holy cow Small Tribes is so bad.

[rustic hatch]

I like Salty ark because it is more chill, mts is still pretty good, arkpoc is a standard

[feral valley]

The best counter is shutting off the game. Its been years… nothing you can do.

[rustic hatch]

If you have the dlc, an ext note run into a gen2 loot/metal run into a gen1 lunar or similar works pretty well for a fairly okay start. But as for having a map to build a base on it depends almost entirely on what you are playing, unless you already have a good spot

[grim lynx]

Is there any good clusters

To play

[dusk geode]

i'm free to play :<

[dusk geode]

ca12 is chill

[rustic hatch]

In that case, and island note run, into farming for a center boss fight, hit lvl 100 get some tek and maybe a fjordur or lost island base location

[woven mountain]

this don't help even sometimes when you have all the evidence, but in my scenario my tribemate didn't even manage to record how it was happening and he didn't even see who was doing it, so there is nothing to report

[crystal juniper]

is there no lfg thing here anymore or was there never one?

[dawn ferry]

@crystal juniper #735196255483068497

[gilded knoll]

Na I lost my character 😕, but how do u do osd?

[rustic hatch]

Get some carches or gigas

[woven mountain]

So when I report Code of conduct violation but nothing been done about it, where do I go next?

[rocky trail]

No do island note run and then farm a prim pump shotgun and tame a pt and then do ext noterun and shotgun spinos

[fluid totem]

how @gilded knoll ?

[normal elm]

can i ask some thing

[shy thicket]

ye ?

[normal elm]

im play 6k hour in pve

but now im gone pvp and waitting ark 2

[shy thicket]

and ?

[normal elm]

some people have locked me in jail ! Is there any way I can continue playing?

[rain echo]

Unless you die- that character is stuck- I have heard that eating you crap will eventually kill you- also unless they keep you fed n stuff you’ll eventually die from hunger

[normal elm]

they locked me up with food and water even blood!!

[rain echo]

Unless they knock you out and force feed you , id say each shit n die. Lol literally 🙂

[shy thicket]

just dont eat drink and use blood

[rain echo]

We had a metal motor boat with turrets as our jail for players messing with people just starting off in the game. Had a nice chair for them, and AC so they didn’t over heat - kept them well fed and hydrated for about 4 -5 days before opening the door and letting the turrets take care of them 🙂

[normal elm]

lol

then now im delete charater ??

[rain echo]

I wouldn’t — try and starve first - unless they really want you caged and keep you fed - shouldn’t take that long to starve in game. Also , what did you do ? Usually caged for a reason 🙂

[normal elm]

im build new base

[rain echo]

Close to somebody already built up ?

[rain echo]

And it wouldn’t be deleting , you would have to create a new character if you do decide that’s best option

[normal elm]

and they go hook me ! new base ! 1 player was raided by some trible and he told me the base he was destroyed

he help me defen new base now

[rain echo]

So you’re free ?

[normal elm]

not yet over there so kind! 1 person feeds me and pumps blood continuously

[rain echo]

Yeah- that’s not them being nice - that’s them keeping you alive so you don’t die and stay caged - don’t eat or drink anything - pretty sure unless you’re knocked out, they can’t force feed you. - goal to get out of jail is TO DIE- only way other than being released

Are you on official ?

[normal elm]

yup!

small trible island 130

[shy thicket]

have you done any boss already or are you any good lvl ?

[rain echo]

When I’m home from work - I will try and help

That is strange - Ark extending its ark ways into all areas

[jaunty perch]

Salty ark is extremely pay to win

[flint pendant]

Anybody need tribe mates

[rustic hatch]

It can be, but that's really any unofficial these days. I play Salty and don't pay, so it definitely can be done

[rugged estuary]

mesa is a stinky server

[prime shale]

When there is a alpha, most servers will be dead . Since there is no server hopping, and alpha will control how many people who live on the server , to not get wiped themselves, what wildcard was thinking when they made this, i have no idea, is like they dont know pvp at all.

[mystic hearth]

Yup lol

[fresh kindle]

@lime spruce #735196267373920286

[worldly elm]

Lmaooo we are too

[stuck vale]

how about that exo-mek bug allowing people to turn off enemy generators?

Watch ur bases ppl, shits about to hit the fan today

fill ur turrets with batteries asap

[wraith gazelle]

@vapid abyss nice game, a cheat who can turn off all tek gens 🙂

[reef shoal]

stgggg

good game

lemme j craft 1200 batteries

good game disable exo meks ya slimey ppl

[midnight idol]

😂

[craggy path]

just reply on twitter

[wraith gazelle]

they turn off heavies with or without batteries

[full needle]

yo to anyone worried about the exploit, damage your gens even just a tiny bit it stops them <3 thank me later

[main mist]

If you they have resources to repair can they use the exploit? Are they able to pick up the structures is that how it works?

[full needle]

no

they cant pick up your structures and they cant repair your structures

[main mist]

Okay sweet nice to know, how about turrets?

[full needle]

Nah nothing to do with turrets

if you want to be especially safe though, put batteries in some of the turrets

[wraith gazelle]

we had batteries and all our turrets were off

[shut abyss]

new glitch hack to turn off generators extremely important that the admin see this ticket # 2334976

[full needle]

thats interesting, dk about that one

but either way they'll rollback servers, shouldnt matter too much

[full needle]

they are very aware lol

[shut abyss]

I don't think so when there was the immortal mek they didn't do it

the other time they did it because the admin accounts were compromised

[rancid prairie]

Makes me sick people have to cheat to get on the same skill level as me

[lyric vessel]

💀

[full needle]

nah this ones on the same level as logging in as other ppl's survivors, 100% rollback

[main mist]

Right on top of the event, no point playing if there is going to be a rollback. We need confirmation from the Devs. Rollback or not? Otherwise just wasting time playing. Hopefully not two weeks later this time.

[rancid prairie]

👁️👄👁️

[jaunty perch]

same

it makes me fucking sick

[glossy pumice]

heyo

[rancid prairie]

U actually a russian commander?

any idea if there will be a roll back?

[crisp current]

I know what discord servers u are in lol.

[opal mountain]

[stuck vale]

Ive literally got kids with mesh beds right under my base

It's been 4 hours fighting them from the BACK of my cave and no dev response

AND my other base has been having the tek gens turned off by exo meks. wtf is going on today man

[full needle]

mans also admitted to using cheats so should i dm a mod lol

[gilded knoll]

Is ir still 3x?

It*

[spring niche]

If you feel anyone is breaking rules dm dodomail

With proof ofc

[full needle]

it was on a diff server so I don't think its worthy

[rocky trail]

Are floating turrets allowed? Like the ones in the middle of the hafchframe

wanna know before trying it

[full needle]

yes

[fervent bluff]

That depends on where you play. Some unofficial clusters don't allow it.

[rocky trail]

Official

[fervent bluff]

History shows that exploits need to be much, much bigger on official for WC to care

[rocky trail]

True

[sinful cliff]

J

[rocky trail]

I fell ya on that

[rocky trail]

This just started and it's already going crazy

[indigo holly]

anyone know some good SOTF servers?

[rigid galleon]

@vapid abyss roll back pvp servers please. The exo mek turns off enemy render gens and all of our bases got the wipe.

This started happening after the 3x event released

This is equivalent to the account spoofing that happened recently

[red pilot]

i've heard damaging your gens to less than full health makes you immune to it

... but i guess that's probably too late if you've been full wiped

🇫

[rigid galleon]

Doesn't matter it shouldn't be a thing.

[fresh kindle]

just run through with a flamethrower and damage stuff (I'm hearing it's just tek gens, but I'm also hearing it's everything including turrets, tek shields, etc.), it should stop the exploit.

I can't really say much more than devs are aware of the exploit and are working to address it as quickly as they can

[red pilot]

i think wildcard would probably sidestep a lot of community frustration if they could say themselves that they're aware of exploits like these as soon as they hear about them rather than that info trickling through discord mod replies no offense intended theorie, just kind of a silly situation

[red pilot]

yea, but ark has always been this way
you either stay up to date on the spooky stuff or your base becomes a ghost story 🤷‍♂️

you don't fill caves with internals because enemies can "legit" push from the artifact room of your shadow

i hope they rollback + extend event by a few days

[placid star]

@wide wren @vapid abyss Fix exo mek hack turn off genys

[fresh kindle]

i'm neither here nor there about it, sometimes i wish they did communicate more but i also think (and emphasis on think) addressing it brings more attention to it so damned if you do, damned if you don't

[red pilot]

yea, that's fair

think the benefit outweighs the cost, but it's ultimately arguable from either angle

[dreamy gulch]

I lost my whole base aswell from it, all my tames and bps

[red pilot]

🇫

[dreamy gulch]

3k tames gone in 20 mins and sick bps

No point in having capped walls if they won’t even shoot

[placid star]

These problems must be solved quickly

[sweet nymph]

Its taking all of my strength not to say skill issue

[red pilot]

just put a ticket through with whatever evidence you can throw together

[fresh kindle]

It sucks negl, had to deal with it myself last week

[dreamy gulch]

U can’t even prove it though

Had 4 unpowered walls and towers

[red pilot]

yea, but if half of the cluster submits reports for it at same time

[dreamy gulch]

Tribemate already put in like 4 or something

[red pilot]

they basically have to rollback instead of just "not enough evidence"ing each

[dreamy gulch]

Bit late now when ur loot is gone 😂

Loads of powered walls for empty base 😂

[fresh kindle]

Depending on the severity of the issue, a rollback may be deemed appropriate. (However they don't like to do rollbacks because it can cause other issues like character loss, etc so strong emphasis on may). IF that does happen, submitting a ticket is still good so they can understand how much of the player base was affected and how to best address the matter. It's like what happened on Xbox a couple months back

[dreamy gulch]

Ye same thing should happen

[red pilot]

best of luck with your inevitable withdrawal symptoms 🙏

[fresh kindle]

Speaking of withdrawal symptoms, how u holding up nianyu?

-yelling at your cat to dismount?
-waking up in a cold sweat, remember only something about "level 70 epics"?
-blaming the negative things in life on "post gen2 meta" and "duping"?
you may need to see a therapist

[red pilot]

one day i will be free
that day may be when offi closes servers down 😅

[reef shoal]

no true

[red pilot]

get better tbh

[red pilot]

railgun disable made game kinda playable

[fresh kindle]

I tried quitting on new years... lasted 3 months, then I spent 6 months on PVE. After being bored of my skull 2 months post Fjordur I went back to 1x

[red pilot]

my fav map is still garbage because of speed quetzes and flying paracers unfortunately

but game's playable at least

[gaunt terrace]

I heard they can repair ur gens with the cheat 😦

[dreamy gulch]

Not when u lose ur base to bs

[red pilot]

my guy it's 2:30am for me and I just went and flamethrowered / tek rifled every gen across like 3 different servers

[fresh kindle]

I haven't heard this yet so it could be true, could also not be true. Generally tho everyone I know in my alliance is saying to just flamethrower stuff to damage structures

[red pilot]

after some individual magically started mekking a raising base deathwall that was previously capped and online

its toxic, but it's playable

I'm sorry to hear that you got fkd so bad before finding out what a workaround was though

[dreamy gulch]

I literally woke up checked discord seen that damaging gens was counter and was going to do it when I got on and my base was already gone XD

[red pilot]

rough

[dreamy gulch]

2 days in game late

[gaunt terrace]

I hope it isnt true cause turning off gens is kinda too strong already 😦

[red pilot]

if it is an exo exploit they probably can repair
but just pray that they can't for your sleep's sake

[dreamy gulch]

Ye they had like 3 exos around my base

[fresh kindle]

Damn. 😦

[red pilot]

rollback incoming I guess

mmm maybe I can actually get some rl work done tomorrow

[red pilot]

do shoot me a dm if you get tired of the big tribe life

Could always do with more adults to drown out the edgy 16yos

lmfao

[fresh kindle]

Hahahaha. My last tribe had a lot of those, new tribe so far ppl are much more mellow and I am enjoying it. They're also very smort

[red pilot]

the things I put up with for online timer 💤

[fresh kindle]

Will def keep this in mind ♡

[fresh kindle]

Out of curiosity what is your favorite map?

[red pilot]

crystal isles

figured out a way to make it playable despite the limitations

Can fit personals (5 fridges, 3 vaults) for 50 people

[fresh kindle]

Honestly I used to hate that map but resource-wise it's growing on me

[red pilot]

and storage space for breeders, admin, war room, etc in main

and there's viable (assuming no flying paracers) raising which is enough to raise like 4 trough ranges worth of gigas

if you're getting regularly slotcapped it's hot garbage, but if someone caps a ci you're probably getting their tribe's tribe map role renamed to "fobs crystal isles servers unironically"

only real downside of the map is ele

[old lily]

12 hrs later no word from the devs 💀

[red pilot]

but having unlimited electronics and gunpowder makes up for it

its also one of the few maps with easily defendable underwater raising

Arguably the only map with easily defendable underwater raising actually

[rocky trail]

Gen 1?

[red pilot]

The rest you need to be pretty stacked to hold comfortably

[red pilot]

ci, basi block for water raising

[rocky trail]

true

[red pilot]

Like water raising alternatives are island easy uw, center mosa cave, uhh

[rocky trail]

is it good on 1x? I never heard about anyone talk about it only on smalls (ps players are probably behind on spots)

[old lily]

any good isles water breeding spots?

[rigid galleon]

They just need to roll servers back as a whole

Pvp wise

[red pilot]

1x players basically never build it because the tribes are too big to live on the map comfortably unless the person building it has built like 5 ci or something dumb

but it's not bad for water raising

[red pilot]

if you mean ci then yes, basi block / the rathole north of the northeast snow biome

[red pilot]

loved the map enough to build it four times on repeat during peak railgun meta
just sucks that it's so easily wiped through questionable gameplay(tm)

main can get railgunned / speed quetzed, land raising base can get desync soaked

and oh my the pvp is delicious
you get water, land and flier pvp all at the same time

absent exploits it's banger

but not really playable rn sadge

[misty dust]

Did you just say delicious

[red pilot]

it is
delicious

[fresh kindle]

Naisuuu

I'm an Aberration main at heart, I love my shadow cave that I had a couple of years ago. It was my bebbe. Stunningly beautiful map, BUT also, reapersss. And my eyes don't melt out of my skull (sorry CI I'm docking a point from u for this)

[red pilot]

ye, might have needed to make a separate ini just for the map to be playable

[fresh kindle]

Touche

I hate using ini but when I lived in center north ice I'd do it just to mute the eye-bleeding blueness of it. My eyes are delicate in my old age

[red pilot]

really do wish we knew if it was a rollback angle or not
especially since it being event means that it's literally a "do i bother building a server in next few days, or do i wait for rollback" type situation

and that's before the fear of losing character to it zzz

[regal belfry]

conquest i think

[prime shale]

Hello BoIS and girls new hack out that lets people turn off everything with a exo mek, happening rn to me, happening on all servers , ark devs what up , the little that the game has left will 100% die now.

[wise niche]

Since this morning the server shows me session not found Its a bug?

[jaunty perch]

It's been known for days

Just stop talking about it tbh it's getting old

There's a very easy counter

[prime shale]

What is the counter ?

If you tell me be online your just not PvP hahah

No one can stay up 24 hours per Day for a game better just unistall hahah and buy another game that devs work on?

[jaunty perch]

Damage the gens

[prime shale]

Rly ?

[fresh kindle]

Yep.

Just take a flamethrower to it or shoot it with a tek rifle a couple of times.

[jaunty perch]

Yes

[rugged estuary]

mining drills can break metal

[jaunty perch]

But it doesn't automatically power

If the gen is damaged it can't be picked up

[wanton depot]

And then the cheaters start bringing stacks of resources to repair the gen, then what?

[prime shale]

Thank you bro , does this apply to turrets to? I need to damage turrets ?

Lifesaver jozo.

[fresh kindle]

One of my ally tribes said when they experienced it, it did affect everything so maybe just to be cautious

[prime shale]

It affected turrets

[jaunty perch]

On win10 in my experience it doesn't but idk about steam

[prime shale]

Aswell had to repower turrets

[jaunty perch]

From what I know it won't let them repair it because it will realize that it's an enemy structure before it goes through with the repair

[prime shale]

Hey bro about turrets , should i damage them to ?

[fresh kindle]

Maybe?

I'm thinking too hard about this.

[jaunty perch]

Idk about on steam but on win10 I didn't need to

I would just in case

[crystal nacelle]

will there be rollbacks?

[fresh kindle]

Yeah, just to be safe. One of my allies said it affected their turrets too so safety first

[jaunty perch]

id say maybe

but i dont know for sure

[fresh kindle]

I can neither confirm nor deny that at this time, Wildcard will release a statement if they intend to roll back servers.

[jaunty perch]

i hope so as imo this exploit is worse or just as bad as spoofing

[fresh kindle]

Yep. Dealt with it right before an 8 day defense

[jaunty perch]

4 ppl lost their exo meks to my turrets today

while i was at school

lmao

[rocky trail]

How to damage turrets? Im flaming them and they arent taking damage incase that exploits on console

[polar needle]

Place c4 on them

[rocky trail]

Funny

[polar needle]

One per heavy should do it 😂

[rocky trail]

Yes yes also one per tek to make sure all my turrets are damaged?

[jaunty perch]

on playstation it doesnt matter anyways

[rocky trail]

its not on ps? Thank God

[jaunty perch]

you have to use cheats to do it

[rancid prairie]

My tribelog would have you believe people are using exo meks to soak towers 😂

[rocky trail]

nah we got the edgiest cringest playerbase i think thats worse then dealing hacks

[rotund epoch]

@wide wren so when are the dev's or Wildcard doing something about the big extreem cheats that getting released i mean using a exo mek and be in render and turn off all gen's in a click....

like this game is getting broken i no you guys invest allot in Ark 2 but this isn't something you can let go off and need to fight hard against it, can the game hit a update so the commands get deleted those cheats are using and find a by pass arround it....

[heady vortex]

If flamethrower doesn’t work, the explosive arrow should, no? (Tek bow)

[rocky trail]

They dont damage turrets i think but im fine ps doesnt have that

Didnt know at the time tho

[heady vortex]

Not sure, thought they changed the targeting because of it damaging the turrets but I’m not really sure

[rancid prairie]

Tek sword

[rain echo]

PREACH!!’

[rancid prairie]

U only need to flame ur gens though

[rotund epoch]

they can repair the gen's @rancid prairie

[heady vortex]

I guess this was an extra precaution step, because it could potentially include turrets as well, judging by the stuff said earlier

[misty dust]

It does include turrets as well even if you have batteries in ur heavies they can power them down

[rancid prairie]

Well then I guess nothing matters then it's a ggs then

Dont wry guys I'm sure they will extend the turkey trials an extra day because of this inconvenience

[misty dust]

💀

[rotund epoch]

@rancid prairie that's why Wildcard should prioritise this and fix ASAP @topaz basalt @wide wren sorry for spamming you but have been scrolling up and haven't seen a response

[obtuse latch]

only counter is being online....like all cheats i dare say 🤣

[fresh kindle]

They are aware of the exploit and are working to address the matter as quickly as they can. 🙂

[misty dust]

You’d think they would just disable riding exo meks till they had it fixed

[rancid prairie]

Or server transfers

[rotund epoch]

I guess the best oppertunity is indeed to dissable the exo mek

untill it

it's fixed cause this is just the most impact full hack i have ever came across in a game...

[rocky trail]

Spoofing was pretty bad lol this is definitely getting there

[rotund epoch]

True bro

[rocky trail]

The sad part is all these exploits are legit coming from the same place

[rain echo]

The Great Spoof of 2022 has some competition with this ExoMek exploit

[rain echo]

That Cynide d bag ? Makes them and sells them for cheap ? He was selling the spoof for 15 bucks

[heady vortex]

I think the sad part is, how willing some PvP players are to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in this.
It’s the same with every aspect in life, as long as there’s a market, someone will satisfy it.
Seems like there’s at least two semi professional companies writing cheats for ark as a working business model …

[unreal sluice]

I think everyone has a cringe player base and I don't think that effect pvp because with cheaters you can't do anything and you'll still die thats not on Playstation even though I've heard that Playstation does have a weird community but that shouldn't effect pvp

[rain echo]

We all , for the most part, have invested months and months into a video game .. aren’t we all a little weird ? 🙂 🙂

[rocky trail]

I was making a joke lol well i am serious but yeah true

[unreal sluice]

Based on ark yes

[unreal sluice]

I mean it doesn't matter it's about fun so it doesn't matter what console if you die you die its just the game

[barren yew]

where do yall farm for tek rex saddle bps?

[fresh kindle]

gen2 missions methinks

[jaunty perch]

just fucking disable exo meks

love coming back every 15 minutes to see that the SAME tribe has unpowered my entire base for the 30th time

[mystic cypress]

anyone know a good aberation base spot

[heady vortex]

Honest suggestion; could you just set some afk account with an autoclicker at the generator?
If it’s powered, it wouldn’t do anything as the default for “e” / use would be “show range”, and when it goes down, the generator would bring up the option to power it

[regal orchid]

alpha tree, rad surface entrance, shadow cave, glowtail cave

[jaunty perch]

they would just drain the ele of the gen

[rigid galleon]

This is equivalent to spoofing. Literally the same impact. Except the enemy tribe has to blow all your stuff up for your loot. Which is even worse.

[mystic cypress]

i'm just trying to find base spot for a solo to build up in, thanks though 🙂

[jaunty perch]

but ye that can work

didnt think of that lol

[hollow quail]

If u have multiple gens which most people do how would that work

[rigid galleon]

Only difference is this doesn't impact pve servers

[jaunty perch]

just gotta make it click like once a minute

and slot cap it on ele

[rigid galleon]

Shouldn't have to.

[heady vortex]

Yea eventually I guess, though if you use shards that would be 100 shards / times per element. I don’t know how fast they can unpower it

[rigid galleon]

Just fix the exploit lol and rollback

[heady vortex]

But like, if you use ADHK for example to prompt a single press of “e” (it’s super easy to setup) it could work

[rigid galleon]

Yeah it would

But. Who wants to sit at their gen letting your account run 24/7

[regal orchid]

also u could fill all heavies with batteries, that would at least stop rocket runners in the small time ur gen is off

[heady vortex]

Yea right but we all know that they might take a bit to fix it.
And there’s no guarantee for a rollback.
So the options are either help to mitigate it or cry into the void here with no effect and do nothing at all to counter it …

[rigid galleon]

I'd rather not counter lol

[vale matrix]

So it there bounty’s for how to get in mesh on diff maps ?

[rigid galleon]

Would rather cry 🤣

[vale matrix]

Fjord gen 1 ect ?

[heady vortex]

Lol 😂😝

[vale matrix]

😂 like normally eh but these are broken

Legit one you can’t see you can farm ele and you have plenty of room

[rigid galleon]

My stuff already gone because of it so

[heady vortex]

Yea understandable 😕
Guess there isn’t that much at all anyone can do atm, other than those small options to counter it sadly

[rigid galleon]

Let the hard work fall to exploits rather than legitimate pvp.

[rancid prairie]

The only counter to these kind of exploites is to have a super hidden mesh base.

[rigid galleon]

^^^

Which also gets the ban if reported lol

[scarlet zephyr]

Apparently if you damage your generator is good

[rancid prairie]

Yes but they can repair your gens if they have the mats to repair them

Hagrid- "opps I shouldn't have said that"

[mystic cypress]

anyone know a good base spot for a solo on abberation

[icy flume]

when are srvrs getting rolled back

for this glitch out

[rigid galleon]

If pvp servers don't get fixed they'll flood pve servers and start messing with them if the servers don't roll back. Remember what happened last time?

[rigid galleon]

No where is good rn.

[jaunty perch]

yes pvp players will 100% do that

i remember mattm the savior of official

the one who caused the spoof rollback to be universal

[lone tartan]

just damage everything by one and the godmode dont work

[jaunty perch]

wrong

[lone tartan]

u try it

[rigid galleon]

Little late for that buddy

[jaunty perch]

they can repair the gens, exo meks can repair things
