Honestly if you do that I will be impressed 😂
Same I’m debating if thts possible even with a mega, maybe day 2
Brood will be hardest imo without cheesing
Hell even getting all the artifacts might be tough starting out
Dragon will be ok just need flak and pump bp pretty easy to get on island tbh
well from a smalls perspective its kinda hard to get any bosses done, cuz most if not all caves will be build
Well for smaller tribes
Yeah ice cave need like 10k arb to clear all spawns with heavies f doing it on foot
You ain't getting bosses on smalls unless allied
Same, meatruns gonna be crazy
Ya dude!
true
Especially when the scorch land bases are back
Can’t wait for SE one of my favorite maps
Both maps are terrible for black pearls
Ya
Abb is gonna be sick
I believe hard UW is the best spawn on island
Bro can’t wait! Everything before extiction
Ya
😂
Can't build hard uw you'll end up cutting off your main black pearl farm
No is actually
Ye check it out shows everything
Use grapple hooks
Okay
mmm true
I’m actually very excited for the PVP the skillful PVP will be back in the game
Yessir
F
If on single player you have to chage settings
I done 9 megatherium 15k hp 400 melee and they only done 20% hp off the boss but with them being ridden can easily get it done
Everyone will use weight as a counter if not microraptor
The long, drawn out, strategic wars were the best moments in pvp before extinction
Yes, honestly cryos made people scared. Tribe up and that was how megas were formed.
Yeah 19 will take to long to get day 1
Before it was really just alpha tribes
Fr. And titans only added to pushing people into caves
Yes
Good luck finding 19 high level in one day on island lol
If they wanna add cryos back they gotta balance them
Everything on island lvl 5
Make cryos a one time use
I think the only way to balance them is make it to where if you throw a tame out of pod it can’t be transferred for 24. How like downloading tames work. Might be a hot take
😂
Grab your pitchforks
I wouldn’t mind this
I do understand cryos for raising though. Raising in og ark is aids
For now atleast
Yes
I think the cooldown balances them pretty well. Why do you think they're too op?
What if cryos were only used for baby-adolescents?
I do not think they’re OP, I just think the ability to spam dinos is kind of what ruins arc in the endgame for PVP
i hate wyverns, cant wait for abb, spend like 2k hours just there man. best map ever
I think that cool down when you upload and download a Dino, Really helps to balance the flow of PVP
I with pods being able to just throw them at Will just makes it to where mega tribes really dominate
I think if they made it to where once you download a cryo or transferred to a server with a tame it has a 24 hour cool down.
makes counterfobbing kinda impossible tho
I hope duping ain’t a thing for a while so people actually care and think instead of jus rush with the giga then throw another
True but I think if they ever did this or gave it a try, I think it would make people just plan more instead of just throw dinosaurs everywhere#
And I think this mechanic would help smaller tribes
hopefully. cheaters killed the game man. i still get flashbacks from those guys that had 5 cryofridges rdy just to mekrush ur ass with duped ass meks
Because bigger tribes with a lot of numbers can’t just at will throw 600 tames at you
true
I honestly hate the Megat tribe ideology
It’s fun but I also see the other side
Like recording it is so dope
But being the other guy not so much
And also if you downloaded your pods to a server and you couldn’t upload them for 24 hours. I think that would help with the annoying trolls too.
I remember playing smalls, and every day people would just come the same group over and over again because they can😂
yeah idk. mybe make it something between 6-18h imo instead. so theres actually some use
True
U understand tht just makes caves broken
Imagine they went back to the old 30 min transfer timer
Oh better idea if you throw the team out of the pod, then it gets a timer
But if you download a team and it never gets thrown out, it’s good
Right cryos balanced the caves
Yes
Besides wildcard alr have wasted so much time
anyways guys, im headin to bed, was a nice chat, see ya around, tmr new vid mr chad? 😄
In remaking the game they not going to change something as simple as cryos
Don’t worry, I’m pro cryos lol I just think when it comes later down the line there needs to be some type of balance because you avoid the whole upload timer for bringing a tame onto server and I think that’s what makes cry pods broken
Yes 😂
Cryos also help prevent lag not really cryo timers there for a rzn
I’m predicting trailer Monday
And it won't matter when lines get capped u 1 tapped either way
aight bro, ima watch it
Or maybe pics knowing wildcard
gn8 boys
Ppl will have 350s on carach and giga by the time transfers open
Thanks man, still thinking of a topic either top five base locations or my top dinos that I want to see get a TLC 😂
My biggest prayer is I really hope wildcard takes the game seriously this time around
For PVP mainly
Well it's going to be there main source of Income
Till ark 2 which will probably fail
Khalid don’t shove a dodo up your ass 😂
your intros be killing me
Thanks bro
I’m still thinking of a topic for tomorrow either top five base locations or what dinos I want to see get a tlc or a melee build for lvl 105 that includes swamp ass
People seem to really like the 105 build I made for a basic PVP set up, but I want to make a melee
Okay good ones, you what. Because you responded, my video tomorrow will be what creatures need a tlc for PvP
Pt will definitely be in my listv
looking for EU players for official ASA, pm me if you are interested
It can grab mego. I dont think it can grab basi
unlikely, 400 eggs a week is about 1 mutation, and I believe transfers are suppose to open with SE in December. This is without cryos, and without alliance being able to share mutations until transfers open.
basi is immune to being grabbed, but a tuso can grab other things like mosa and plesi
Honestly, pillar/foundation/gate spamming need to be a thing of the past.
Crucify me, but it is the truth. This was definitely not intended pvp design and it's disgusting. It's also horrible to look at and lags out the server
@wheat coral so u clearly cnt breed because if u have over 220 of any tame it is basically a mut
Because in 1 week u shouldn't have only 400 eggs
in pvp you can just damage and destroy pillar/foundation spam i imagine
😂
Sure, yeah i wanna destroy 500 pillar/foundations just to have them put right back up lol
console bob, telling me I can't breed. Its the island on official, with no cryos and one month until transfers open up. You will not have 219 cloned level 1 0/0 female gigas. You will not have raised 219 nor tamed 219 0/0 females.
Buddy
U can farm brood in like 25
Minutes on isl if u have more than 5ppl doing it and other bosses u won't need it secondly u can always tp a giga into a cave like easy and clone them their I am sorry tht ur 1x brain cnt comprehend basic thing and u dnt need lvl 1s u can use lvl 5s at the start
But u pc players are still using ceiling l8ngs
Fortnights
lol bruh, console bob thinks he actually knows the game.
Buddy u just said it take 400 eggs for 1 mut
There's no cloner on island. Thats a different maps engram so I doubt it will release day 1
pvps gonna be so ass without cryopods
ye its so dumb they should atleast make cryopods available for only pvp
like wtf am i gonna walk a carcha or a soaker to a base
nah they prob nerfing that shit tbh
tbh i rather play unofficial with mods
if theres no cryos
you really have zero clue what you are talking about and how mutations are pushed on Official.
and how tf are you gonna breed in a cave do you have to take stuff outside like carchas or gigas
no upload / download until transfers are enabled.
Build outside like the game was before extinction
ion get how they remove cryos but leave in all the weird tek stuff
The best times
Tek was in the game before cryos
Lmao. Carchars are gonna be crazy in those types of raids/battles
who wants to play some ark. i want a fresh and new experience coming back
Once you hit 20/20 on parents i believe 400 eggs gives you a 90% success rate at getting a new mut 400 is commonly known number
Cloner is alpha dragon engram
Also getting 36+ points on giga or carcha on island could take a month it's luck asf
Yea it unlocks from the dragon but it didn't release with the island. You can get cryopods without any boss fights but they aren't enabling those since island didnt release with it initially. So its fair to assume the other tek it didn't have originally wont be included
You get them way faster then that.
Once you hot 20/20 until you get negative mutations this is the commonly known fact Playstation had dead lines or took way longer then other platforms to cap lines so please dont @ me
Hey, is cave building going to still be allowed on ASA
I had a friend till me it wasn't and I just wanted to confirm.
Yes caves will be a thing will minor changes to choke points
I wish they would give us details on what they changed
unfortunately snail games doesn't typically care about the wildcard playerbase
Caves will be nerfed to the ground
Lets hope
How will crossplay work? PS and Xbox servers. Then PC/PS/Xbox servers?
So no PC only server?
Dont think so
Any console players going to a crossplay server? I’m worried for my tribe mates lmao
Wym
You know anyone who gonna play console on crossplay servers?
Me lol. I got a tribe ready n everything
Cause my friends mechanics are top tier but aiming on controller is scuffed compared to mnk lol
Praise the lord
So:
Crossplay A - Xbox, PlayStation, Windows.
Non-PC Crossplay - Xbox, Playstation
Crossplay B - Steam
and then once we're on fast-cert
Crossplay A and B will get merged
So we'll have
Crossplay AB - Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, Steam
Non-PC Crossplay - Xbox, PlayStation
Tbh its not gonna matter that much. Movement speed is being nerfed so you're most likely wont do alot of ground pvp
True that’s good, glad they did that
Thanks ma drilla 👌🏼👌🏼
Pc will still have a bit of an upper hand but it shouldn't be an issue
I’m not dogging controller aim I used to play on console just long range is different
Where are people thinking of building? I've heard many mixed opinions on places I like
Good roller players can aim
On x1 building every cave besides hard uw
Were building top of east metal mountain
True 95% of the game is knowing what to do
Even more then that
If tribe was bigger I’d build cave and breed out front but contest probs gonna be crazy day 1
The caves might be super nerfed
Playing smalls I just haven't really started on the island
Oh yeah
Best of luck to you on smalls
They said minor changes to some choke points and if the meta is to strong and caves are too weak they will buff them again
Hope the squads stacked
You saying that makes me feel like it's a bad idea lmao
Yeah they’ll probably open them up but there’s a chance they might 10x it or something else
Wym lol
Saying best of luck makes me feel like ima have a super hard time, idk
If you have a good team you’ll be okay but small tribes is usually a dictatorship of allied tribes
Facts
Sadly we only have 4/6, not bad players though so hopefully we won't be wiped a lot
Yeah we've already all agreed on that, not tryna be enemy #1
I'm having a hard time deciding a good base location, I thought herb island but I've heard so many bad things on it
Alr ty
Yeah 2 of us lived in pack with a 6 or 7 man on official
not really, herbi island has a metal spawn on it, and you can get an anky there also, and once you get an argy other metal spots arent too far
Like 6 nodes on herby lol
anyone knows any info on how many pvp servers we getting on steam?
No just that player limit will be 70 still
They’ve already said they’ve made small changes so they won’t be super nerfed unfortunately
Herb is terrible don’t fall into the trap, Carno if you’ve got a big enough tribe
actually like 14
Be alpha in no time then
Especially early on when everything has such little health & with no movement speed buffs rafts will just shag u
No tame storage as rafts can drive right up the ass of the island and fuck your tames up I don’t know why you see these videos ranking it like top 2 it’s shite.
Herb should never make any pvp base spot list
yall think theyre gonna keep the speed boost from swamp sickness or nah?
Probably
Might actually make it useful
Was the speed nerfs for tames aswell or just players?
hope it does, will make note runs ALOT harder without movement speed
both as far as im aware
Two possibilities with note changes if they do decide to change it
Move the locations
Make it so you cant stack more then 1 2x and 1 4x at the same time
How are engrams gonna work? Like can we craft stuff like nets when game release or do we have to wait for more maps to come out
odds are itll be bog standard vanilla until the rest of the maps roll out
since we aint even getting cryopods
Wonder if turret limit will stay the same
and i can see them removing some of the extinction notes that can put you at max instantly but the island notes never seemed all that broken to me
eh but 70 isnt all that much compared to how much longer it takes to get to max from there imo
i just know its gonna be wild on launch day with everyone bumrushing notes and the caves
Get a times 4 note tame a thyla kill a titan an youre basically maxed out
U can deffo get higher but id get lost at around that point
Yh thats usually the move after ive done a 15 min note run
Note runs are op imo. They should tone it down a small bit
Cloning chamber tek turrets and island ascension all released on the island with v257 update like 6 year's idk where you think cloning chambers came from
Going back to og metal runs will be rough
Being able to instantly craft c4 and turrets etc etc is pretty busted most bobs will struggle to get level 50 without notes lol
If u struggle to get to 50 lets be real u wont last more then a few days anyway
How would you get 50 without notes in say an hour
Argy saddle is level 62 that's crazy to think if you cant do a noterun lol
hani lan nerde oyun
You can craft like 30 rafts and be lvl 50
Cafting rafts pots... etc.
With no notes on x1 it's 106 rafts lol
Yo I cant mount my desert titan anyone know what to do?
Where are you with it
Center
I just dropped a tower with it then I relogged cause of desync and now it just tells me access inventory
Are you in a no fly zone
The game hasn't released yest, but let me welcome you all to the pvp world
You beach bobs yall noobs
how is herb terrible
lol
How is it not
DONT BUILD ON HERB
Its the worst base spot on the map
Just don’t brotha
Literally anywhere else is better
Herb is used if you wanna build some dumb pve shit lol
Agreed
You must be in the wrong channel, #pve-discussion there you go
idk, last time i played on island we built up the herbi and its stood no problem
Definitely wasn’t official
Was u playing single player?
no it was offical
Only reason herb is horrible is because 60% of the island can be raft raided
When was this 2016?
Can’t built a lot of towers
Yeah literally
And no tame space
Gotta remember no cryos
Theres this and then other then this there is 0 benefit to the island
If herb didn’t have the water going inland it would be pretty good
lol
When that much of the island can be raft raided it defeats the point of having an island, at that point its just a shitty land base
Yeah herb is pretty hard to live on too it’s super far from like every resource
Carno still better even if that were the case
So much cap lol
HOW 😂
Turret limit wouldn’t allow
Well yeah it’s bigger and has a cave on it, and it’s closer to farm spots
That’s 550 on just towers
U could deffo fit that on the island
But its still a really shit idea
Ud barely have a base in the middle
Not 11 turret towers with 50 per
join a mega tribe and youll be suprised what is possible bruh
i wanna see ark Trailer
But yh u could do it, just isnt a good idea
What are you protecting then atp
Gotta think that’s 11 towers they can’t be far away from each other Herby is small
Mega tribe on herb 😂 yeah next joke son
You ain’t got a clue
😂😂😂
you even know the meaning?
Yh but this idiot probably had em all the way out on those mini islands and shit
yes
Bob 😂
Who even says mega tribe anymore
Mega tribe in a pearl cave😂
Its just tribes
Everybody still what are you talking about
Mega tribes are standard now so no one says that
we say it on pc
There are still other tribes then mega tribes
The game is not majority mega tribe
Maybe then i guess im wrong
its like that sense bigg of ark
we had other maps pretty build alrwady, didnt have anything on island so decided to build a fob on the herbi lol, wasnt the best idea but who cares when you can shit out 1mil Arbs a day
Default is mega
Mega tribes probably hold 10% of arks player base
No lmao
If u count dedis then maybe
Yup
But xbox official was like 95% megas
10% of what
Where is your source
BRUH WHAT LOL
Your logic is interesting lol
I think he was on a fiber
Think about what you’re saying 😂
And official held like 25% of arks population for steam, jat the dev put these stats out a while back
i think you start play in the end of ark cuz even a tribe with 50 player's called there slef a mega
You guys built an 11 tower 50 turret each fob..on HERB
When u consider pve and dedis and shit u might be right tbf
no one build tower on a fob
idk, imo mega tribe isnt about how many players you have, more about how much your tribes dominates and controls servers
There’s megas on pve too
i am too but i am talking at the end not on the known tribe
it was litereally in the last month or 2 before the officals got shut down, so decided to just go for it
Basically dev wiped
There was nothing inside it so no one bothered
fun part was having 1500% melee gigas roaming agressive lol
You’re argument before was saying that herb is good to build on lol
they kept going in the water tho
So basically that was all cap
Your argument was how is herb terrible tho, when you built it is irrelevant
It’s shit
He’s yapping fellas 😂
oh sorry, well imo its alright early on as you do egt metal and shit there, but mid and late its yeah shit
Everyone has too much time on their hands rn
His defence for his argument was it held up pretty well, but then says it was a fob built before servers wiped
So it was an empty shell that lasted a month…
It’s shit early on 😂
You couldn’t be further away from key recourses
Lmk if you build on herb again @candid garden
Who tf is farming metal on herb
This guy 😂
in a month we might
Chat is this real?
🤮
PLEASE LMK LOL
I’ll bring the boys over and we can give you an official base rating
Giving peeps a reason to shit on console players even more 🥹
Is this where they start fighting with spears and torches
not a console player
Yeah plz change to switch 😂
pc
I guess that’s what they meant when they say ‘pc players on another level’
Rag highlands cave is my mega spot of choice, you can almost fit two gigas standing up. forget about herb
Looking for people to join my official tribe for ASA
bro what mega has ever touched that spot also rag wont be out on release
sarcasm my man, sarcasm
No mega has touched herb island either lol
Wait no rag on release???
What maps will be on release then?
I know island and scorched but what else?
the island
no scorched
it will be one unified hell hole
like ark was intended to be
Oh ok nvm u dont know what you are talking about
I think he meant "I"
We’ve also decided to separate the release date of The Island and Scorched Earth. With what we’ve learned about remastering The Island from the ground-up, it wouldn’t be feasible to complete Scorched Earth to a standard we’re happy with. So for now, we’re going to plan that Scorched Earth will be coming to ASA in December this year, Ragnarok and Aberration will follow in Q1 2024, and the rest of the maps beyond then.
-july 1st
Who’s gonna tell him?😂
Servers 1-7 seem accounted for. So don't join those unless you're with the mega/alliance involved
You ain’t the brightest, are ya?
Guys, damage reduction wise, does the armor type (hide, chitin, flak, riot) makes any difference or simply higher armor / durability stat is better? So for example a 150 armor chitin helmet is better than a 100 armor flak?
Point is it didn't release day 1 with the island, and their were other maps out when that patch hit. So I don't see them adding it since they said they are going back to day 1
No cryos with cloners going all over map sounds like lag hell too
You get hit - armor reduces that damage, but also if you get hit then the durability will go down until it breaks.
No it dosent.
it will be island only on release my man
dura is everything for armor, pretty much nothing else matters
Generally, we intend to release content based on the map it launched with. It doesn’t matter WHEN it launched; for example, the Rafts will be available on Day One and the Rhyniognatha on The Island; however, TEK creature variants and Cryopods will not be available
So that's not how its working sorry to say cloners came with the island so they will be on the island
People worried about cloners and teleporters. I'm more worried about pvp'ing without a whip 🤣
I can’t wait to see the cave changes, I wonder how much they’ve messed with, and if a land base will become an alternative to the meta
You will see much more land bases
They said they made little changes to caves but nothing too drastic.
Big boxes with tames inside.
And behe gates everywhere
No flamethrowers though
I'm most worried about no nets
You cant outrun the dinos anymore either
I was fine long before nets. But not being able to whip out of tames picking me, means I'll have to carry alot more grapples
Thats because you could outrun the dinos though
You don't know that. Might have increased base movement speed instead of being able to level it
Like 140 is base now but you can't add.
It will probably only be to +125%
Actually you're right
Yea 125 won't be enough 🤣
They must see the issue in spawning and not being able to run away from a carbo
So fingers crossed. I'm ok with it being less, but we need a little bit of movement
Or maybe they will just raise movement speed more with focal chili or something else.
I feel like no MS was a streamer/YouTuber suggestion who barely plays the game but idn lol going be interesting to say the least
H.O.D suggested it too and he's OG. It will be different for sure. Hard enough to run away from people with good aim as it is.
Just makes you foot PvP less and actually USE dinos
they will 100% raise movement speed.
Question is how much 🙂
i think its the opposite actually. foot pvp will be more enjoyable because u will be able to actually hit ppl
People are so good at aiming you can hardly run away from them. I doubt it will be more enjoyable
Unless aiming becomes more difficult
Which it could
More like aiming down sight all the time. Even if you are in 3rd person
So it drifts and wobbles
And recoils
Microraptors
This mans gonna cry when he can't use cloner for 3 months or so lmao
Tha I know, but does the armor type matters by any means?
You should probably read what i posted again just a little bit slower jat even confirmed all island tek will be available day 1 including dedis which comes way after cloners
so yu say a 100 armor flak is better than a 150 armor chitin?
Yes. Low Armor = more damage goes through from hits.
no man just look for higher number thats it
But obviously if you have a high Armor item with only 20 durability it will just break after 1 hit. You want a good combination of both if possible
Whos claiming which ones? Im debating on playing solo for the first month and just griefing everyone until SE opens up.
Who u tryin to scare boi
I mean yeah if your a smaller group it’s ideal to stay away from lower especially single digit servers as well as like iconic numbers like flat 10’s and meme numbers. Bigger groups do tend to prioritize the nicer sounding numbers
Fuck that. I want pvp. You know how easy it is going to be to grief Island with no transfers? Shit was fire, back in Legacy. Some of the best pvp.
Idgaf about number I’m joining the first one I see😂
Have fun 1 v 50'ing
How you joining if its 70/70 lol
Were talking about server numbers
I'm replying to pumpkin. Cuz it should be packed day 1
So "OfficialArkSmallTribes456_______Island_______30/70_________255
No. Server player count 70/70
Not the player count, the server's number / name
You don't understand
Yes and the first servers you see are going to be lower number aka mega capped servers
It defaults by server name unless you change the sort
It depends how the servers sort by defult in Ark Asc
Too simple to copy paste the server browser code for that type of change you would think. Maybe an overlay or ui change but defaults don't seem likely to change
They said new ui for asa
There will havto be something new for the mods for sure. To show what servers run what
Menu probably not though
Move speed needed a massive nerf. I would done made it 0.5% ever time you leved it.
My problem with no leveling is everyone will be a weight build and it will completly kill the foot pvp.
I don't think caves will be any less popular. If any thing I think they will be more popular than ever without cryos.
If they wanted to give land bases a chance they need to fix parasaur boxes and massively buff structure health.
I always crank my movement speed so this is gonna be fun to get used to
It was like that with flyer movement speed too tho
Good internet download fast
Used to always use an argy
There’s a reason it’s able to be 100/70
Plus day one it will probably crash at least a few times
So hard getting a small tribe together on this game
Everybody is American or eu
And the few aussies and Hawaiians are too shit to recruit
Anyone have experience living/surviving on a platform mosa base on official? I’ve only done it on fibercraft and smalls, and want to know if it’s actually viable on official. I’ve survived for months in a Raft base, but want to go the “submarine route”.
What system are you on? I’m on PS5 but prefer to have a few Aussies because of banter and time zones. What makes you want to go for smalls this go around? I’m coming from smalls with a plan to go Official to have a bigger tribe
Just find raiding especially for loot on 1x worthless
Smalls also better rates
And I think it’s more competetive
I forgot about how trash the loot was on official lol. I may change my mind and go back to smalls
Not really tbh
It is no one is good who is an Aussie
Or plays
Or that time zone in general
Same
I got 1 Hawaiian but I don’t want him on alone for 6 hours
And I’m not tryna stay up until 6am to cover
I’ve learned that on PS, EU Players play for longevity. NA Players are there for pvp and briefing. I’m a NA Player who was recruited into a mega with lots on EU players and that’s when I really learned management
And for some reason every eu player is nocturnal so they basically na
There’s definitely some truth to both sides lol. I’ve met some great players and some trash players from both regions
It’s all from personal experience haha. That doesn’t make it invalid! It does make sense that everyone is copy and pasted because all they do is search YouTube for the latest meta
That’s why I want to try living on a mosa. I know it seems bob-like, but I want to do something different, Amber with a dedicated team, it could work. It worked on Rag when 6 of us lived on rafts, but with the island and Leeds, I want a better strategy
Are you meaning the mana/fabby/flamethrower style?
I thought about that, but everyone knows where the caves are, where as I could move a mobile base near world border and mass spam turrets tusos and mosas
You have a better chance with making a sky box quetzal base tbh
I’m excited to have a period where tek doesn’t exist lol. The c spin is definitely going to be everyone’s default since movement speed is gone
If someone has a tuso your mosa is toast
I thought of that as well but I wouldn’t be able to defend it with a turret wall
Can’t until rag drops. Have to do the bosses to unlock the engram
You'd need to do bosses. At that point just take over an actually op spot instead of relying on platform saddles
Very true. It would only work if I could hide it behind a turret wall
I agree with you
Guess that settles it! Mosa base is definitely a bob move. Thanks!
vac is from alpha dragon which is on island
Completely forgot about that. I’m so used to Rag, I only think about what Rag has available
Haven’t played in about two years lol
Yeah, but no cryos you not going to be able to breed enough to do dragon without a op cave base.
i feel like everyone is thinking water is going to be meta but not understanding just how hard it is going to be to get tek especially on smalls
Even without tek if you get either of the underwater artifact caves on island ur set.
basilo too strong for water to be viable i feel like
you need tek to defend water
and on smalls its going to be a different tribe in every cave good luck getting all the arts for tek
Yeah, but someone that means your either fighting someone that has water base. Or someone got to go out of their way to get good baso to raid you.
especially because generator is locked behind carno and pack
Guys, just making sure the Basillo can’t bleed from the megalodon, correct!
i mean i get the meg is good but tuso can grab meg basilo cant be grabbed
It really just depends on how big the other tribes on the server are.
hell a carbo swarm will wipe and underwater base
Basilo also can’t be bleed by megladons too
I thought there were no transfers.
Oh
If transfers then you definitely need tek to live underwater.
Everything not open land base pvp is boring.
Facts. Cave raids are lame
Mesh biting and grappling is not fun.
I’m telling you if they don’t change ice cave and you have Easy or Hard UW, you are not getting wiped awhile
Maybe with the cave reworks if you can get more medium sized dinos it will be more fun.
People forget how toxic it was to raid without cryos
A lot of players in ark rn joined because of cryos
Not the ones who lived it
True😂
It is realistically going to take tribes, even mega a little bit before they even start taming water dinos
Ark after cryos became super weenie hut jr.
Because without pods, you can’t keep them safe really
Cryos were legit the best update to the game
Helps solo players big tribes bad players good players
True, but usually rng if things go according to plan @rocky trail
Fax and everyone has underestimated the space you need for the lines. Especially if you doing just caves. Think about the ones rn on island that you need for basically every line.
Cryos were needed but they were poorly executed. Imo
Also, you guys gotta remember Island has low level tames
@rocky trail Like what’s happening on the server you’re taking over is there another big tribe you have to start going to war day two things like that
Hidden bases and ratholes are just nerfed so small tribes are just that much more at a disadvantage
Cryos shouldn't be poki balls. Cryos and battery turrets ruined pvp.
LFM ASA NA 15+ DM for more info and ur stats
Same
Nah I remember when you had to get on because gigas was popping and you would have to wait like 3 days for more eggs
You never know!
When cryos first came out no timer or sickness maybe but now they make PvP better
Bat heavies just mean you don’t have to bring a pill box didn’t change PvP
I played 1x when Val came out and it was two megas fighting for 2 weeks before we wiped them
If definitely does happen
Nah, Cryos should need something like a transmitter to pull them in an out of cryo.
Maybe but having people set back because of cryos is better.
I think the best plan of action, regardless of tribe size should be to secure main. so get the starter ready get the tames needed to run the boss, fight, etc. then take your main base location then tame water dinos
Than only big tribes would have em and the gap just gets bigger and harder to close
Only hurts weaker players and smaller tribes
Someone just throwing out a giga or a Rex mid pvp is just dumb imo.
No not at the start since you can’t transfer servers. Smaller tribes can either do some alliance thing and band together. Second have multiple bases since it’s like 13 pearl caves around.
Facts. Small tribes dont have to stay small
It’s so much harder cause the best way to build up as a small tribe is to hide your loot and cryos when you get off whereas the big tribes don’t have to cause they aren’t gonna get insta wiped
If we are gonna balance cryos it’s simple
Sure pocket gigas are dumb
If you upload or transfer the Dino in a cryo, and if you throw that Dino out. It has that 24 hour cooldown applied to it even if you pod it! Gg done
They should honestly add a 1-2 min PvP timer to cryos
So if you in any PvP you can’t throw them out
It’s no dead servers at the start. Smaller tribes can live on wiggle room and ally with bigger tribes. Obviously it’s Ark more heads more progress unless you stupid
No there isn’t
Maybe large dinos (Giga,bronto, etc) need a special machine to cryo.
Lmao
True
But they just should’ve never made them buildable to begin with
Honestly I think cave building is the biggest issue
I think caves should just get nerfed harder and they should just make raiding a lot harder.
Yes they are no small tribe is taking a cave unless they start to get fat
Caves yes, raiding is fine
But you just gonna get steamrolled
Raiding land bases is just to easy to raid cause you only have to soak one side of 5.
You basically have to build hidden as a small tribe until you get fat
Caves can never be nerfed enough
Cause 100 turrets at 1 choke is always better than 25 turrets on 1 side
Plus no tame sniping
No, Heavys or teks in cave?
That would be good
So you could build fat towers outside still
Bro idk what game you playing where smaller tribes living in caves
All good caves are insta taken
By fat tribes
Small tribes get run through the once they get found. Small tribes haven't existed since they nerfed tek turrets.
What open caves are there on official
Like just starting out
Or a few days in
No caves are open that are good
Your playing fibercrafts bro
Agreed
Ain’t no open ices
Ice caves do get left open once late game happens
Not on fresh wipe
Bro there were 0 open islands Ice on steam smalls or win10 smalls I promise
Win10 I think there were a few
No got a discord channel with a pic of all of em
The reality is you can never do enough to balance out big tribe VS small tribe.
So we really shouldn't be making something op cause small tribes can use it.
Here is a tought, if you a small tribe, go play small tribes servers 
still alliances there. Hopefully devs maintain rules on new clusters
Not what I mean by small mean fresh starting
And add more spots tbh
Money hungry wildcard ain’t adding extra servers or working more on maps
my only worry is that they arent going to release nearly enough servers to fit the demand. every server is going to be capped and people just wont be able to play
Lol I’m have 40 deep day 1 lol
I’m scared there gonna be insta dossed
Nah there won’t be people that sad surely also I can’t wait for this week I know the game probably won’t come out but omg the trailers and the pictures and leaks are gunna make me be able to fly with excitement
Wrong place
I wish teck would not come back
If they don't have considerable amount of effort put into anti-cheat and ddos the game is going to be rough.
I don’t like the Tek armor but the rep and genny and trans nice
PVP would just be better. Same as breeding. It just should give you colors. It would make taming still important.
Can't wait for ASA. Very excited.
True
just hoping it isn't ruined by all the cheese stuff, random turret tower on beach & blocked obelisk.
blocked obelisks are going to be a thing its just how its going to be. no cryos to hold boss dinos so the big tribes will just keep them at the obelisks. even before ASA blocking obelisks was common. now its going to be even more common since theres no cryos and people have to download tames
rip, they need an anti building bubble around them, + they can use nodes that spawn from sky to transfer right?
if you play pvp small tribes now its so aids
well it was..
yes you can use the loot drops to transfer and download dinos but alpha tribes are not going to sit and wait for a loot drop to run a boss fight they will just lock down an obelisk
i never saw obelisks being blocked as the worst thing. sure it was an annoyance but there was always drops to transfer off at and very rarely was red ob blocked on smalls at least
Lol me an my 40 man gonna brake blue ob
smalls blue was never built i know on 1x it was common
Yea some caves r gonna be unraidable early no cryoed or movement speed
Rocket running not gonna be a thing now
Take
Dk why it said brake
lol. The devs had to change drop locations several times to counter Megas blocking off every drop and obelisk. Very few, did it 100% properly but there was a period where you could legit be stuck on a map, having to farm c4 or tame an artho if you got bodied. Became less of a problem, after gen 1 dropped, and trans were more readily available. Blowing every obelisk, terminal, drop, and charging station, were some of the best griefs, due to how much time, megas would put into blocking them.
i was referring to in smalls i cant say anything about 1x i never played it
Just phone a friend
bruh, you got roasted hard if you got caught stuck on a map. Ive had to bail out a few tribemates over the years, and that shit was a running joke for years.
From a x1 prospective 40 isn't much
Ik
I remember these days...
i remember spawning on a serv and getting my char in spike wall, and every spawn was the same, spike wall everywhere, I never knew if there was a counterplay to that unless you transfer with some flaks. (It was when there was only Center, Island, and SE)
Spawn into traps and be stuck there until your tribe came with c4
Turret towers in the scar
Some don’t know the pain of raising tames before cryo’s and increased imprint intervals was a thing
Getting up every what was it 4h to imprint shit...
Imagine getting up and having the intervals not link up and it being 30-45 apart
Or having to get specific eggs to make specific kibble to tame. Now it’s just based on egg size lmao
Broooo. We had to make a whole warehouse just for kibble tames
That is because no need to farm boss with all new maps with easy elements. But asa with only island to start all obelisk will be build
It’s gonna be built on every smalls server now I reckon, TP for Ice cave especially
Yeah it’s def going to be built, I think 10-10 berg and carno going to be good too.
My sleeper pick is pack cave
How long do you think it will take the first successful tek cave run for smalls
4 days
I honestly don't know how tek cave will work since it's uploads your character and there is no trasnfers
Unless its an allied server sharing artifacts i don't see it happening for a good while
On x1 i hope to have it done before the extra life if the game releases this week
It's gonna release 31st
No body knows yet
I only ever done tek cave on unofficial it was bad enough.. If tribes block each artifacts going be hard
Have to transfer to other servers and get them that way, or trade for artifacts
No server transfers lol
I mean they’ll open them up eventually. I don’t see that being static
Carchar actually small enough to enter tek cave, but doesn’t get ported into boss fight
yeah i think they said december
supposed to open all transfer when pc crossplay is enabled
Will they have server to server transfers at first
2 months, I figure they want people to have a chance to build before they get griefers
it wont matter lmao steam megas are gonna own all servers
wouldn’t be surprised if they have cheats by the time transfers open
So me as a solo won’t have a chance of well it happens
your best to stick to smalls
im not even playing official unless they have active gms
Yeah if you’re solo, go smalls
I only played smalls as a solo for about 2 years never had a real good base set up yet… I’m sure in smalls 30 ppl will still ally
Yeah 100% I’m think 2-3 times wiped daily like before
Can a quetz stay flying in the air when I’m off line
yeah if you get off it itll stay in the air
that could change in asa tho
I suppose we don’t really know till we start playing it…. I’ll have to try a few different things see what works
Alot of sellers have said if the anti cheat isn't super cracked then they could have them out in a few hours aftwr launch
When more maps opens should get easier to hide
not surprised
theyll probably end up canceling steam crossplay
better for the games health
You could still cheat on PS and Xbox before
not on ps but you can cheat in win 10
That’s what I throught…. Hope they have console servers only
yeah smalls will be unplayable like it was on ase
hopefully they have console only smalls
Nah fr same
there will be console only servers thats confirmed they have console/pc and ps/xbox im pretty sure
and the console pc will open with steam servers when transfers open
So:
Crossplay A - Xbox, PlayStation, Windows.
Non-PC Crossplay - Xbox, Playstation
Crossplay B - Steam
and then once we're on fast-cert
Crossplay A and B will get merged
So we'll have
Crossplay AB - Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, Steam
Non-PC Crossplay - Xbox, PlayStation
This is what dollie said
yeah defo not playing with steam
that shi is not fair lmao
any mega dumb enough to think theyll survive when steam joins crossplay is stupid
theyre on a completely different level
My tribe is 160 members roughly id say 90-95% are pc we are playing w10 then it'll merge with steam
steam pvp is a completely different world
Nah fr and the ps4 players are so fucking garbage likes it’s crazy😂😂
they make the meta for everyone
Steam has just been dupe wars for a long time and turrets don't shoot properly im hoping asa will be different
the state of steam cheats rn is also insane
Yall ps5 players ready get fucked up by us Xbox players ngl😂
but those steam mega just operate insanely efficiently
Everyone is going after Playstation
Funny thing is I’m on it rn XDD
Console would cheat just as hard given the option
couldnt play smalls without getting botted and cant play high pop unofficial without the same issue
But on Xbox I got 450 days played
It's just been arks main meta forever exploit and cheats
because they make it so easy lmao
Hope they real do deal with cheaters. Ark with no meshing, duping or aimbotting would be so nice
Shame the devs arent very smart and add extremely unbalanced tames like rhynios astro dolphins etc
Console is fucked when crossplay is up lmao steam can easily take both consoles on
Steam wont have crossplay at the beginning. Only window pc and consoles
oh ye
ue5 "should" fix meshing bc of the fill in feature it gives. Long as they can keep duping under control. And no like op ass cheats like gens off again
Can deal with norm aimbot
On x1 aimbot isn't a big issue duping and spoofing is the worst
They haven't, cheats are ready for asa, all depends now how good the anitcheat is
no aimbot aint an issue bc imma just sit on a stego and snipe them back. hit them twice flak gone kek.
Or just do what everyone used to do. And call your own botter
99.9% of aimbotters in ark are the most braindead ass ppl
Tad bit racist mate
Ye but im not worried about losing a random kit while farming. More about getting harrassed at yo base
I hope to see more dev wipes,and full tribe bans for cheaters in asa,don’t just punish the cheater but any tribes they were tribed in on all servers or affiliated with
True do like they do on classic "minus the tea stuff kek"
any aimbotter linked to tribe. They get deved
you can cheat on console using capture card, pixel bot and 3rd party controler mods like zen.
zen has 0 practical use on ark
zen is able to change controller inputs before sending to the console
so it does have a use
what use could you possibly have for a zen on ark
a combination of capture card, pixel bot and a controller mod like zen
those 3 allow aimbot on ark
people do it. there was a cod aimbot for console a while ago that was taken down before it got big
no they don’t a zen is the closest thing you could get to cheats for console
theres nothing like a zen thats close to cheating
your not listening
bro
you can use a controller mod and a pc script to adjust inputs before it gets to console
it gets used now. its just not common
what are you on about man
right ill explain it a 4th time
you can use a capture card to send the video to pc then use a pixel bot and then use a controller mod and a pc script to adjust inputs before it gets to console so you have aimbot
script is the wrong word but hopefully you know what i mean
thats about the dumbest shit ive ever heard
pc cheats still 90x more ridic
its dumb but people have used it
U never herd of a gacha script ?
ling ling gacha tower on top. Never farm arb again :]
there are scripts to auto raise for you aswell
Aww what
scripts are not the same as what he’s explaining
U can make scripts for anything
only use for a zen is maybe a few scripts to automate things that are very simple
you also said they had 0 use on console
can make scripts that ran gen 2 missions for u
Idk bout console but ppl had them on pc. Race missions
oh yeah races
Still afk points
but not hunts of anything like that
nah but ppl didnt need to do hunts. Had vaults of tek rifles and weapons. And cc bps so eh
Knowone really scripted missions after a while. Had been a long time since id seen it
Just saying that loads of weird things are possible with scrips. Idk bout console. Probs can but more annoying
👎
mad cause bad?
Mhm
Im just southern so i speed informal english
And not gonna sweat grammar in discord
Is knowone a word?
Takes one to know one ??
not really seen as a proper way to say it
Dayummmm
Could not agree more
I got a ping in tribe disc td saying "u must be bored see u talking in ark offi discord again"
I stopped playing ark like a month after gen 2 but now I literally can't think about any other game. That's how excited I am
u missed a lot if u stopped playin then
I'm just working instead of playing games in my free time ark been the only game ive enjoyed since black ops 2
I miss 2018 ark
congrats the meta will come back a little. For a few months
Cant wait to have on serv war on smalls
not really but yk
Eh depends what server and what tribe / ally is on the server
or if u get lucky and its randoms
Idk why the devs add stupid shit like astro dolphs to the game
Need to see what they do to caves
Should just have no cave building imo
No caves servers would die so quickly
Especially bc there is drops and artifacts in them just leave them for pve and we’ll have land bases again
Would need huge changes to the game
Why
no cave building with stego dll still in
would be terrible. Drop stego's onto someones land base with rocket rider. make hole go in
Turret increase stats decrease saddle nerf less structure on plat dinos structure buff
mhm
Quetz bombing shouldnt be a thing either
and with aimbot imagine.
Clipping your structures through theirs
u mean like backwards racering / hatchframe racerin
All that shit
Imagine ppl illegal racering with only land bases
Not the type im talking about. Those backward / hatchframe are fine
they counterable.
Quetz bombing with your structures glitching through their base to c4 shouldnt be a thing
2018 19 not many people had caves just land bases
Well thats never coming back
meta changed. Id get over it now lol
Chokes are just way betta
But boring af
Welcome to ark
Having a few extremely op spots
op spot means nothing if bobs defending it
How you raiding ice cave with no cryos and 100 turrets
Not possible
If built well
They gonna nerf ice u monkey
read the cc's before u complain
Legit basiclly got name dropped in the cc
Probs player walk entrance my guess
I think they are gonna make it trike soakable but probably not stego. Stego sized would make the cave too big
Trike would be op
Trike soak on top for griefin
espesh with no good lines. Takes like 7dmg to head from heavy with imp and such
I mean it takes longer than tek rifling the wall down
I used to do it with prim rifles
online?
If they aint got an offline timer. With any good tribe that owns a server wont have one. Gl with any of that
Well Goodluck raiding any cave base with no offline timer any time soon lol
and eh ez / carno probs better than ice if they remove crouch
Oh no caves gonna basiclly not be raidable if they defenders have a brain. Till ext probs
@rocky trail get me off. "not crime wise" :]
Just wondering will the oce servers for small tribes be able to transfer to na and eu servers? Or will there even be oce servers
Were oce servers connected to na and eu servers on small tribes?
honestly i have no clue as far as i know it was only na and eu
I know you spaz i was making an example you bob
Says the man who thinks land bases would work with this meta
I didnt say that I said I hope it would go back to land bases
Guy cant even spell no one
“Knowone”
You must genuinely have a brain injury or something if your first language is english and you spelled it like that
Caves will mean it will go back to being one tribe owning the entire server again being unraidable which is just boring af
Look at conquest they had no cave building and only died because of cheating and obvs tea
I’m looking for more members of our official Xbox/ps5 tribe pm if u want to join
#1110949794907684965 go brrr
Sounds laggy af
? Laggy
bro xbox isint laggy TnT
looking for an unoffical steam server with a tribe to join
pm me
hmmm idk
Yes and no. “Pc perspective smalls” At launch no bc they take a week to raise and are aids. Once raised ye not much that can kill / counter them. But like a week in 1 tribe will already be alpha or least way ahead. But once scorch drops a few months in. Lighting / poison wyvs will counter it pretty well
Makes no sense to even add them tbh until lost island comes out their is not really a counter on island
When tf this trailer dropping this is ridiculous
Wyvern don't really counter them
Eh only thing close to fast enough to catch them
Also wont have near the stats they did on ase. They inherit the stats if the dino they lay they egg in. So no 200hp 100dmg rex to hatch outta. Only pretty eh tames
What’s Rex raise these days, still 4 days?
2 months, breeds could be through the roof
But if they nerf how much stats mutations give. (Like said in cc) stuff probs wont get the stats they used to
3 months
They was used in classic with basic tames fighting basic tames with much more options then just island and se and they was way too op
Fair. I didnt play classic
Could take a week just to get 42+ hp and damage males though then getting enough 00s to be affective with muts
Negs gonna take longer than 3 months lol
I think getting good starter lines will be the biggest differences with alot of big tribes
Negs may not even be a thing
They said they aint changing it in the cc
I don't think neg was mentioned at all tbh i could be wrong though
Well they said u can still get over the 20/20
What's neg 32 iterations
Just they probs are redusing the stats the mutations give. Rn mutations give wild stat bonus. So capped stego is like taming a 254 ho stego. Can change that mut value to give leas stat
. Previously, mutations were based on a creature's wild stat multiplier, and now we’ve given it its multiplier. This has led to some creatures receiving some buffs/nerfs in particular stats, but we intend to rebalance this over time as we evaluate their roles in the meta.
maybe rex hp will be less. Who knows its up to wc now
Either way they are way too fast and good at picking they pick like griffs but move way better and have way more hp stam weight and can freeze tames pick rexes etc they have way too many abilities compared to every other tame on island
Mhm. Just gonna have to raid everyone on your server first. And then raise as many of them as possible
Also kinda boring if im maining island again I want to foot pvp no worry about a guy on a rhynio dropping a theri on me after insta picking me off my pt
Good strat tho whistle a theri on someone after picking them
Are they slower with a tame in their claws?
Not really
Surely you should fly alot slower carrying a tame the same size as you lmao
And they can carry vaults capped with metal etc
Idk i didnt care they when they were added bc the game was dead i wasnt even playing then but why add it to the first map idk just a bit gay
Trailer needs to drop this week otherwise its dropping same day as asa
Will be what it will be.
And ye hopefully tmr. Then release friday?
but probs friday and release next tuesday
I hope it releases either mon or tur
Tue
Or they delay and just lose some money
It does say on a cc about the trailer releasing when the game releases
Wrong. Gameplay trailer is this Wednesday during the xbox showcase.
If they release it at a random x box showcase but didnt do it at twitchcon. they dumb
And you are entitled to your opinion. But this isn't an "if". It is confirmed by xbox and jat.
Nah its facts they dumb kek. Been killin they game for years. But eh
Again, your opinion. The discord has been growing and until recently so had players in game.
twitchcon isnt really a place where devs reveal their games lol
Yes bc discord members = players. Im talkin bout the pvp scene and they enforement
There is no reason the discord numbers do not indocate interest in the game. And I said playerbase is growing, not one specific thing. Unofficial scene is huge. PvE is huge. Llenty of single players tok. There are multiple ways to ejoy the game.
You're in the pvp channel ya sped
bob
have fun attempting to tame a rex. And failing for 20 hrs
Where did they say that?😂
Does not change my statement. Your opinion is not fact nor speaks for everyone. Or even most.
In the gen chat. It's pinned.
I dont see it tbh
I mean my opinion that shit is the pvp chat? do be facts. Just bc u love pve bobin and being on beaches for thousands of hrs and getting knowwhere with 0 fear is a snooz tbh
See you just blindly assume things. I have near 8k hours in pvp. Your opinion is not fact, that is the very definition of an opinion. Use basic brain function.
8k lol
It's pinned.. in the gen chat...
8k hrs and u still a bob. Wild
Yh i see
not even in the offi smalls discord. But have 8k tf do u play
Still blindly assuming, smh. Guess using anything more than 3 braincells is difficult for you. Done talking to a willfully ignorant wall.
Lol imma assume u a pvp farm bot for some mega. Enjoy that :]
i have over 6k hrs on smalls and im not in the smalls discord lol im not a discord main i actually play the game
Ssshhh this implies he would have to critically think about things. Don't fry his tiny brain.
oo right sorry
you're right buddy im just a slave for mega tribes what even is small tribes idk what that is
so u never played in a big tribe. got it
And ooo discord maining when there isnt a game to play and just waitin
you caught me i was just a measly tax payer on all of my servers 😦
everyone is a discord main rn 🤦♂️
never even raided tbh i just farmed metal and boss fights so i could pay server tax
whos rdy for the pure bob pvp??
73 85 88 36 94 96 160 116
this 1 time i met our mega tribe leader. he just looked at me. called me a good farmer
It doesn't count at the end when the announcment came btw lol
Also what platform? bc u cant push a button to get a role
i stopped playing a month into gen 2 on steam
They need to take away cave building
same game just less people after gen 2
Idk what they were thinking releasing Gen2
idk either it was cool on release but once the doplins and shadowmanes got capped i quit
Nets ruined pvp
tf is your opinions.
