pvp-discussion

[thorn lodge]

i see these solo guys on youtube defending it solo are they just facing noobs?

[modern stag]

That, and they play on hella boosted servers where they can make 10x what the average player does in minutes

All the defense in the world will eventually be breached if even 10 guys feel like going at it for long enough and you’re solo

[thorn lodge]

but defender have advantage at the battlefield right? there must be ways u can fuck them up or?

[modern stag]

You do have an advantage, but they’ve got numbers, unlimited resources and time; hell, they could wait until you log off or cycle players if they really had to

I defended my rathole in the mosa trench for 2 days as a solo; took them over a hundred basilos to get in, but eventually I ran out of resources to defend with and ended up popcorning what was left

[thorn lodge]

it sound like small tribe is the best option at least they cant come at me with 100 people? what kind of cheat should i be expecting except from meshing?

[modern stag]

Esp primarily, aimbot

[thorn lodge]

right...

any way to counter som1 using aimbot or is it just gg?

[modern stag]

You could theoretically keep a tek bubble up for a long while

But mostly it’s over at that point

[thorn lodge]

is it much more xpensive to raid than defend?

[modern stag]

No lol

C4 is cheap and easily duped

[thorn lodge]

lol such a big game and every cheat imaginabile is here

maybe i wont start this game lol

[modern stag]

I wouldn’t blame you; I love this game, but it’s almost never actually moderated or given any love in the pvp aspect; very p2w too

[thorn lodge]

pw2 with dlcs or people buying mats/dinos?

[modern stag]

Both

[thorn lodge]

and reporting/making tickets in this game is useles?

[modern stag]

Yeah

If they ever do get around to it, it’s usually weeks after the cheater has sieged out your base and ruined your hard work

Have to have an exorbitant amount of screenshots, tribe names, logs and video evidence to even get to that point

[thorn lodge]

and the problem is same in ase as asa?

[modern stag]

ASE doesn’t have official servers anymore; they were sunsetted and shut down

[thorn lodge]

damn

[modern stag]

But it was a lot of the same issues back in the day as there is now anyhow

[thorn lodge]

so how does small tribe clans have "infinite mats" do they never get wiped them self

[modern stag]

They buy them

And if you’ve got a team of spinners, it’s not likely that you’re going to get taken down

3 people sieging 3 cheaters will always end poorly for the attackers

Every big tribe on 1x also has at least one cheater to theoretically counter other cheaters, even if the rank-and-file says otherwise

[thorn lodge]

so i need to buy some cheat to be able to compete in pvp here then

how much does people ususaly pay? i guess its monthly sub

[tough ginkgo]

They should give each server an admin I’m sure 1000000 of players would sign up to it I would even myself to stop hackers and make the game enjoyable for others I’d do it for free

[modern stag]

Think so, but I couldn’t tell you; I wouldn’t recommend cheating, ‘s just stooping to their level

Plenty of bots that stop by high pop servers and advertise cheats

[modern stag]

They have moderators, believe it or not; ‘s just not often that you actually see them do anything lol

[thorn lodge]

game is pretty pricy 50usd and then these bot acount can run rampant and advertise is crazy

[tough ginkgo]

That’s what I mean if they gave it to normal people who can be on active I bet there would be so many people who could do it

[modern stag]

2 people subbing to cheats would make up for the price of a bot account, and that’s assuming it gets caught and banned every 2 that sign up

[tough ginkgo]

They would loose no money and reclaim the game again from hackers I don’t get why they don’t just do it

[modern stag]

Dunno; but PvP is dying off as it is

[tough ginkgo]

Hackers aren’t even the big issue it’s meshers that are really destroying it

[thorn lodge]

i come from pvp in conan exile there i could never get wiped solo when i just built good in a cave only when cheater came to mesh into base

lately ive been playing myth of empires 2 years pvp solo and never been wiped there and it dosnt have cheaters on oficial pvp servers

most of the time on these 2 games people are saying its " impossible to survive solo" i get this phrase all the time when i want to start someting, but as i stated befoire i can play all day and got no life, but u are really sure it is not possible to do it in this game?

[tough ginkgo]

If you aren’t online 24/7 and I really mean 24/7 you will get wiped

And even if you are then people will just mesh you when your online

[modern stag]

Too many cheaters to do it; but this game has the upside of being really easy to rebuild on if you can get your hands on a carchar

[thorn lodge]

what if i sleep but put discord sound next to my ear so i hear when attack begins?

[tough ginkgo]

Can you really be around 24 hours a day ready to defend tho ?

[thorn lodge]

yes i just sit at home on pc

[tough ginkgo]

Best thing you can do is not type in chat find a dirty rat hole, make 100 turrets and be as active and secret as possible

[modern stag]

You’re welcome to give it a shot m8; but it’s not a matter of if you’ll be wiped, but rather when

[thorn lodge]

so how do u do breeding in this game if u live in a super small area

[tough ginkgo]

You’d have a breeding spot with nothing in it

[modern stag]

Most people that are locked in ratholes get their dinos by yoinking already bred ones

[tough ginkgo]

And this

[thorn lodge]

u steal from others?

[modern stag]

Yeah

[tough ginkgo]

It’s pvp you have to

[thorn lodge]

wow didnt know u can steal other tames

[tough ginkgo]

If the tames are in cryo pods you can

[modern stag]

Capped dinos are a dime a dozen, there’s always new players that cave and buy really good tames

[tough ginkgo]

I got a high level giga lastnight from a base with no turrets 😂

[thorn lodge]

so its waste of time to start my own breeding line ye

[modern stag]

Yeah

[tough ginkgo]

Went in naked on a level 50 Pt and come out with a high level of giga and no some breeding is okay like small dinos

Ankys and argys

[modern stag]

Everything is already bred to the max, and they can clone 80 low level females and mass-mutation breed

[thorn lodge]

so defenidng/attacking regarding resource spent is 1:1 scale? usualy in games its like 3x more expensive to attack or more

[tough ginkgo]

Tbh mate if your going solo without hacks you’ll last a week max

If they can’t raid you legit they’ll cheat

[thorn lodge]

what cheat breaks a rathole with spammed turrets?

[modern stag]

Defending, you need a strategic location, turrets, ammo minimum; attacking, you need beer, a rocket launcher and some rockets

[tough ginkgo]

Meshing

[thorn lodge]

mesh and then get shot to death?

[tough ginkgo]

You mesh raid and turrets do nothing

No let me explain

They have a cheat which makes it so they can spawn dinos so what they can do is walk into the back of your base threw a wall on a stego soak and blow up all your turrets and it’s gg

Speed hackers stick c4 to themselfs and speed hack into your turrets and blow them up. Another hack is if they get close to your turrets even if it’s pin locked they can drop all your bullets out of your turrets instantly y

[thorn lodge]

thats crazy

but i wonder why isnt all pvp servers dead yet if this is the meta

[tough ginkgo]

Because people always have the hop it will get fixed and love the game so much they try anyway

Hope *

[modern stag]

Compared to what they used to be, they pretty much are

[tough ginkgo]

People that sell dinos are usually the hackers too it’s a vicious cycle

[modern stag]

I love the game; I’ve done everything Ark had to offer in ASE 1x pvp, and trying to play on boosted rates or unofficial or PvE is incredibly boring to me; the rare high moments when you brawl with someone around the same level as you are huge

But 80% of the time you get offlined or thrashed by a cheater

[tough ginkgo]

We had alpha of a server in asa first 5 months it came out, I got sick of hackers aim botting and trying to mesh us since I didn’t hack so I quit, when I left my team who was left got hacks to defend from hackers then our base got wiped by devs

[thorn lodge]

haha fucking crazy

[tough ginkgo]

The devs are backwards it could be one of the best games ever made all they need to do is employ active admins on loads of the servers to fix the issue but they won’t

[modern stag]

Sounds about right; there are a few pocket devs too that work with a tribe for $ to rollback, devwipe or crash a server

[thorn lodge]

what if i play on extra paid dlc maps would it be less cheaters there

[fossil shore]

what does pvp mean in ark

[tough ginkgo]

Tbh slyvanas best advice is to play modded because you won’t have issues there

Play modded pvp

[thorn lodge]

yea i just refuse to play private servers i hate admin being "able to cheat" and resets

[modern stag]

If you plan to play official, you’ve got to be ready to roll with the punches and rebuild when you get wiped lol

[thorn lodge]

is it likely i can do more solo raids on 1x or smalls?

[tough ginkgo]

Okay in that case I’d suggest playing small tribes account sharing been online 24 hours a day and getting cheats yourself cause that’s what everyone does

[modern stag]

I’ve been doing it for 4000 hours; getting wiped is pretty inconsequential at this point

[tough ginkgo]

All of these been illigal btw

Smalls if your playing solo

But even on smalls people account share and have like 8 members

But again the issue is hackers and meshers simple as they you can play and maybe survive a week or so depending on how you do it but that’s most likely as far as it will go until you get wiped

[thorn lodge]

right

is it easy to steal someones base location aswell? for example inside huge caves

[tough ginkgo]

My mate who’s in a huge tribe and has no life said he’s been meshed 4 times after building up full tek 😂😂😂

[tough ginkgo]

Legit no it’s not easy if they’re built depends on your time and dinos and I’d they’re online

[thorn lodge]

so do u recomend me to start on dead servers or alive servers

[modern stag]

Dead servers are more ideal for survival

[tough ginkgo]

It doesn’t matter if the server is dead or alive tbh mate hackers scout for bases on all servers

Tbh I’d say more busy servers for base survival because your not the only target then

[thorn lodge]

right

[tough ginkgo]

But for player survival and taming I’d go to a dead server

[thorn lodge]

and how often do they close dead servers? i dont understand why they got so many servers at all

[tough ginkgo]

Never

[modern stag]

Not very

[tough ginkgo]

Theylle just stay dead people use them for taming and stuff

[modern stag]

They’ve sunsetted a fair few to make new servers for new maps

But it’s a rare occurrence

[tough ginkgo]

Why don’t you find a clan bro

[modern stag]

Me, or him?

[tough ginkgo]

Him buddy

[modern stag]

Groovy

[thorn lodge]

dont know any1 and i looked at the recruit channel and all want experienced players

[tough ginkgo]

How old are you ?

[thorn lodge]

30

[tough ginkgo]

Dm me bro

Debating playing this cancer again myself god knows why 😂

[modern stag]

If you’re certain about playing solo, can always come hang on ext with me as blue tag, eventually

[tough ginkgo]

You the alpha wolf ?

[modern stag]

We’ll def get wiped, but I just spend my time screwing around and having fun anyhow lol

Nah, just another solo

I did my time in megas

[tough ginkgo]

Ahh fairs bro

[thorn lodge]

this game got alliance?

[modern stag]

Yeah

[tough ginkgo]

Not on smalls

It’s banable

[modern stag]

I’m on 1x

[tough ginkgo]

Yeah on x1 fair

[ivory plume]

Conflict of interest

[tough ginkgo]

This is true I guess but could you get them to do daily reports no and clip all admin activity I’m not saying it would be easy but it would be amazing to be looked into to

[tough ginkgo]

I’d quit playing the game to make it more enjoyable for others

[tough ginkgo]

But I obviously get what your saying bud

[zinc igloo]

hey im getting back into the game and trying to find someone to play on a server with

[lapis kettle]

the game wont let me find official server

[dawn ferry]

If you are not on Steam, and are using Microsoft store version on PC, it was removed from official pvp servers.
https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/ark-survival-ascended-on-playstation-and-an-update-on-windows-battleye-r2201/

If you are on Ark Survival Evolved, officials were shut down shortly before Ascended released.

[lapis kettle]

im on steam tho

[dawn ferry]

Some users grab the steam role just because they're on pc even though they're actually on MS store, so i sent it anyway. Since you are on steam, make sure all of your filters are correct and try showing all maps instead of just a specific map.

[lapis kettle]

the filters wont allow me to set it to official servers

[dawn ferry]

Are you on Ark Survival Evolved

[lapis kettle]

yes

[dawn ferry]

Okay so read above. Evolved does not have official servers.

[lapis kettle]

oooh my bad i didnt realize

[zealous bobcat]

and orp servers, but i aint gettin any

[zealous bobcat]

lmao

💀

[austere raft]

Any good PvP servers not super boosted, low amount of tek preferably

ASA

[tepid mango]

Just posted one in server ads if you're still looking. Trying to get pop back up

[earnest furnace]

Does anyone plat SOTF anymore

Used to love it

Im on Solos 218

[covert knot]

Mine

[dreamy wind]

Vitality, Rotaderp, Vindactur are a few wouldn't say their the best to do it or anything but they have a solo or dou type vibe and do a lot of the early game stuff

Rota makes the best videos and plays conquest so I favor him

[lilac pawn]

need good pvp server

[quiet mesa]

He also explains some things which is cool for people learning

[quasi crystal]

Is there a conquest channel. Looking to run easy dragon

[ivory plume]

So consoles only already hurts the PvP community

You could have highpop if we just combine all PvP servers and stop the console only stuff then we could start reviving PvP for both consoles and crossplay since both are hurting for numbers right now

You know consoles cheat to right ?

It’s just as prolific and common

Let me clarify Aimbotting is just as bad on consoles as it is on pc

Most alpha and mega tribes on Consoles have aim bots

You do understand that jailbreaking consoles especially PS has become super common right and it’s so rampit on that system. Not to mention Sony has done little to counter it citing it as the game developers problem not the software issue

So with that knowledge know beening understood wildcard should just merge the servers and start getting the new anti cheat being developed by battle eye that requires more player information to be given up to play the game

Ah yes the I have never seen it argument so it doesn’t exist

It’s more common than you think

[quiet pond]

Does anyone know when 5.5 will be released? Or are there official personnel discussing the release time?

[ivory plume]

PS4 and above have been jail broken since they came out it happens a lot and no action comes for them doing it

The actual solution is for the game to improve the anti cheat

Even when it was the main system same thing is happening to ps5 now

[worn sonnet]

Why no solo servers?

[gritty canyon]

anyone know if the low system requirement mode is coming out with this update?

[gritty canyon]

theres a low system requirment mode that they announced would be coming in the summer

it can run asa on a poop pc

[rocky trail]

No

That will be later in the summer

Was never meant to be with the UE 5.5 update

[gritty canyon]

smh

[knotty birch]

just upgrade bro

[gritty canyon]

my pc isnt bad

ark is

[knotty birch]

bet

[gritty canyon]

ryzen 5 5600x 64gb ram 3080ti

on top of that i overclocked the card too

and cant get more than 120 fps open world

all low settings too

cant get more than 120 fps

like 80-120

[mild ocean]

i foot pvp everything #melee bob

[surreal prism]

Cap 1/5 of the player base uses aimbot 😂

[vapid niche]

Ah your one of those who suffers all wipe with 300 weight just so once every few days you can one tap someone with a sword

Why wouldn't you want to have as many frames as you can

The more the smother

I dont know any game just feels better with 150 frames

Probably not much advantage

[mild ocean]

nah i rock 600 hp, 600 weight, 30 fort, and the rest dumped into melee

[vapid niche]

How you get so many stats

You over 105?

[mild ocean]

high level 🤷‍♀️

[vapid niche]

Oh ok

[mild ocean]

well yeah, aint no point wasting levels on that sort of build until you have the level to offset

[vapid niche]

I mean if your high lvl you can afford melle damage

Last time on arcpok I got destroyed by a meele Bob idk how some can sacrifice weight for melle damage unless u got the lvls

Ja I think people just use high melle on fresh wipe cause most people have prim flak

But then they got no weight or fortitude kind of stupid

Ja I'm on smalls with a duo he hes 120 using 4 fortitude laughing at me for 30

Then he uses 620 hp

300-400 hp is enough you flak dura is your health if it break no high health will save you

[raw sand]

thats why durability is wanted over armor in flak sets aswell

[stray stag]

I just finished arkpocalypse for this month already as a solo. Ended at level 103, had a good size base that got offlined twice, moved to astraeos yesterday, built inside a cliff so the only way to raid is to fly in or use a zepilin to tank my heavies and tesla coil. I get off for 3 hours to go to work, come back, offlined again.

If you're a solo, here's some pvp advice I learned for the next arkpoc

Base spot is the #1 most important thing. That will determine how your wipe goes. I hadn't played in almost a year and made the mistake of building in the middle of the forest to stay hidden, ofc when my base got found it got raided when I was offline. All good ratholes were taken by the time I began scouting for a better base

Before going out to do anything important, like go killing spinos for levels (arguably the best way to get to level 100 fast), fill up your furnaces and make sure you're crafting something, whether electronics, ARB, etc.

Doesn't matter, when I first got raided I tried rebuilding my base since I had an indi forge on my base and heavies on it so I tried to farm up as much as possible for another indi to move, but can only do so much as a solo, plus I was built up on the island in a spot that was far from a lot of materials

After I got raided again, I took the turrets, demolished the forge and moved to astraeos. Astraeos is stupid op for stuff and I was able to get hella materials for a new forge and everything

I lowkey didnt think I'd be raided when I left for work earlier today lmao, I had a tesla coil for the first time and like 5 heavy turrets, but some chinese tribe pulled up and soaked with a stego, which got killed, and they prob came with another stego and did it again

It is what it is, I was very rusty but I think I progressed a lot better then most solos on arkpoc, next time ima prioritize a base spot in astraeos, arguably the best map for solos and anyone in general

[raw sand]

dw it happens

only so much u can do as a solo

[polar slate]

what is a good stat build for pvp

[raw sand]

i like to do weight because of grappling

[modern stag]

500 hp to prevent fall damage deaths for sure

Shit man, you’ve never been picked more than once, or until your chutes are gone?

Better to be prepared for when it does happen tho; and more hp is never a bad thing unless you’re caged lol

[polar slate]

tribe of 4, whats the difference?

so if my tribe has 4 what should i focus on?

[polar slate]

on pvp when i get a pt what stat should i level up

no weight?

[oblique fern]

just put enough points to allow you to carry your stuff without being slow

[grave aspen]

Center ratholes are the best for a solo

[remote cove]

What are they doing again grief beedeble will f everthing now now console commands wtf

Underwater gg

[nocturne helm]

Is there a proper ini for pvp? Especially uw?

[iron kite]

[cursive ruin]

pyro buff too

[steel shard]

If i have my raft like half way into a rock for defence against raft raiders, you think think it'll be fine during the update as its not meshed into the borders?

[mint island]

no the new fantastic tame sinks meshed rafts

[cursive ruin]

where your raft at and what server?

[steel shard]

[steel shard]

Cmon bro lol

[iron kite]

Maybe he just wants to protect it for you

[steel shard]

Its terrain changes I'm worried about lol

[burnt veldt]

any1 know if exitlag works with ark pvp? tryna play on eu/na servers as au is excruciating

[zealous bobcat]

when orp?

[lapis adder]

Does 50m pocket giga counter a 50m carcha pocket?

[frail owl]

if carcha has no buff giga wins

[lapis adder]

ye both dropped from cryos at once

[severe coral]

Yes and its not even close. Carcha needs 50 stacks to have equal base damage to giga.

[lapis adder]

and how likely am i to rage on a giga with 120armor saddle and cryo debug against a 50m 0 stack carcar?

[celest loom]

hey guys, just wondering treaure chests from people is there a way to find them? like parasaur or something?

[night mauve]

its not that bad lol ?>

i play it all the time and have gotten HOF/alpha multiple times on dif servers

[remote tartan]

Get ready Xbox bozos imma come raid y’all

Xbox getting delayed so many bases gonna have fat timer

[icy dagger]

So all these updates and the megalania saddle is still on pvp so meshing still able to be done, cryos still aren’t back to normal and the player count still gonna be 10k on official servers gg

Fix meshing and cheating and cryos to make game good again

Ain’t nobody care what color the cedar trees are

[slim kraken]

Yeah we also know about 3 xbox servers. lol That'll be bad

[frail owl]

like 0

[gaunt thicket]

Xbox won't be able to defend for days. Gg

[lapis adder]

Ohbgreat nice. Server im on has tribes woth 60m carcar pockets, i managed to getn48m giga and noone uses em on the server

@vapid abyss disable weapon usage on megalanias drakes and enforcers for pvp servers

[grave quartz]

and why is that

[slim kraken]

#announcements Because WC is incompetent

[grave quartz]

i got like 5 diff ones

[remote rampart]

Let's keep pushing brother we are tired of meshing in PVP

[river crystal]

Chainsaw in redwoods

[lapis adder]

thanks, ill check it out. was doing theri in island swamp

[uncut quail]

Bro still cryin ab cryos, adapt or gi to ase bro

[uncut quail]

Takes u that long to download a game?

[dull talon]

disable megalania

weapon usage on megalania

[zealous bobcat]

lmaoo they wont do sht, still no orp servers

they never cared for pvp anyways

[remote rampart]

If we make more noise they will fix that, they are losing thousands of players because of meshing

[remote rampart]

Let's ask them every day 🫶

[zealous bobcat]

i been making noise since they relased ascendant, still no orp servers. not even 1 server

[weak brook]

Hi

[sterile ether]

Hello there

[ivory plume]

Bro almost no one wants ORP let’s just work on a solution to the mesh issue and a solution to a better anti cheat

[restive fox]

make extinction sunken tree 6 times please

[ebon pagoda]

@vapid abyss yall Will drop new servers?

[zealous bobcat]

almost no one? there are plenty of people who dont want to / cant play 24/7, this comment makes no sense

[ivory plume]

Bro you don’t have to play 24/7 to survive on official we have talked about this yet you don’t want to use our suggestions that work lol

[zealous bobcat]

they dont work.

what works is orp lol

[ivory plume]

They do

And people have proven this

[flat yoke]

@vapid abyss xbox has no update

[remote rampart]

Well time to organize real feedback and get 10,000 players and demand to final fix that

[wet maple]

How are you suggesting they add orp?

[zealous bobcat]

just like they had in ase? its nothing new.

[ocean anvil]

orps a ball ache for all the right reasons especially when someone has built a a shit shack at a good base location and your trying to get it

[zealous bobcat]

nobody is forcing anyone to play orp, some of u act like it would affect you in any way

[vernal pine]

Why every new FK cave is shit like that

[ocean anvil]

didn’t say it would affect me lmao if you actually read

i just mentioned a downside to it

[zealous bobcat]

why would you mention a downside of it? whats the benefit? goal?

my comment was not only directed to you, it was board statement, i see alot of people trashing orp when they dont even play orp, or has plans to play orp, it doesnt effect them anyway and yet they talk trash ? wtf lol

just useless comments

you all people have your servers, go play the game. i dont have.

[ivory plume]

So chat the new caves suck

[carmine otter]

"I've heard your feedback PvP community" huh?
Yeah no
There's basically only one new cave that you might even consider building in
Window Cave is better than any of the new caves and that says enough

[ivory plume]

Seems like the devs did not listen to any feedback

@carmine otter it’s a joke right like you think they would understand how to build a decent cave but nope

@zealous bobcat so instead of talking about the irrelevancy of ORP let’s talk about how bad the new update to astraos is

This should be fixed or something

[carmine otter]

dude had the chance to make the map the most popular PVP map after Center
but he made more ragnarok level caves
entrance large enough to fit a racer
or the cave is the size of skylord island 💀

[ivory plume]

That and what’s with so many double entrances ???

[carmine otter]

dont ask me

[ivory plume]

I just don’t get it simple stuff like choke points, one entrances and decent size rooms

It’s not hard

[carmine otter]

wc can u just bring back the old ase cryos for pvp
and give us our crouch caves back?

[ivory plume]

We really do need crouch caves back

With how the meta is they are needed

[carmine otter]

bro grapple pvp was so fun
but now its pretty much obsolete

[oblique parrot]

Nah

[modest quail]

bro all of the caves for pvp are assss on astros

[oblique parrot]

Facts

[ivory plume]

They are

The devs don’t listen

[velvet bough]

Crouch caves yeah but new cryo system is nice remove cryo sickness on baby’s tho

[daring widget]

with ini i have now 300-400 low 1440p i used to have 140-200

[carmine otter]

new cryo system good?
yeah that is the reason why the ase cryo mod is the most installed mod of all

[velvet bough]

Yeah it makes it easier to raid I like it you can’t just spam cryos anymore

No more doing farming run next thing pocket giga

You can actually get cryos off people now too you use to pick someone they knew it was gg then cryo sick all cryos on them now it’s gg

[sick sentinel]

Anybody knows when dazes back up by any chance?

[carmine otter]

pocket gigas were never a problem and easy to prevent if u werent completly dented
and what do u mean with cryo spamming u still had a 5min cooldown

[bold moth]

you know its not right? pelayori's is third and that changes a lot more then switching back to ASE. its essentially dino storage v2 which was popular in ASE too.

[velvet bough]

It make raiding rat hole and cave near on impossible

I have spam inside my rat hole that prevent anyone placeing a cryo fridge

I get you tho it annoys me too

Forgetting to bring a battery on a vain or something can really take you over the edge

[carmine otter]

sry if that changed but the last time i checked around half year ago it was place 1 with a massive distance to place 2

[bold moth]

actually I think curseforge sorting is just broken lol

pelayori may be first. but it does do a ton more then just change it back to ASE cryos

yeah, curseforge sorting doesn't work lol

[raw sand]

id just like cryos to be useable without a fridge

[ivory plume]

I just want better caves

That all is that to much to ask for ????

[velvet bough]

Facts

They ruined near on every cave

[ivory plume]

@bold moth will this ever happen friend ?

[velvet bough]

It’s the reason half the player base on PvP is either in a rat hole or mesh

[bold moth]

would've happened already for PvP.
but who knows 🤷 the enemy check was also changed way after.

[ivory plume]

What do you mean would’ve happened already ???

All we want is crouch caves back and better ratholes

[bold moth]

its been over a year and a half.

[ivory plume]

Like can’t they just throw us a bone with one good cave on astraos???

[velvet bough]

Being able to spawn on bed in areas I can build should also be a thing or just don’t allow me to build there all together

[bold moth]

they just added a bunch of caves, see if any are good. I wouldn't know what makes one good

[ivory plume]

I already checked they suck

They don’t know what makes a good cave

[velvet bough]

Mainly small entrances good choke points and large main area

[ivory plume]

Literally not a hard concept even @velvet bough gets it

[velvet bough]

Old carno cave perfect

[drifting sluice]

There not OP caves, but there decent enough pvp caves!

[ivory plume]

Bro they suck they are indefensible

[velvet bough]

I’ve never built maps or games ever in my life either common sense if anything

[ivory plume]

Like who tf adds two entrances to caves that’s the worst thing ever none of them have a single checkpoint and you can walk a racer through the main entrance

Some you can even fit a dreadnaught into lol

[raw sand]

we soakin with dreadnaughtus tonight

mabye theres some good ratholes if u guys look for them

[ivory plume]

Bro there are none

[velvet bough]

Probably get banned for building in them

[zealous bobcat]

Sounds like some good updates once again💀

[raw sand]

asa has created alot of new ones in general from how the rocks are designed

[ivory plume]

I just checked

[velvet bough]

Two of my tribe mates got banned for building a rep in a rat hole on ext that was fully accessible by walking

[ivory plume]

Finally something we can agree on how much this update has sucked

[zealous bobcat]

Meshing is ok but ratholes not?

[velvet bough]

Banned within 2 hours of placing it

[zealous bobcat]

💀

[ivory plume]

@bold moth do you think we will ever get a fix for this map ?

[bold moth]

I don't work for wildcard. probably but who knows how long
and if you are talking about the lack of good PvP caves I have absolutely no idea lol

[ivory plume]

I just feel like we were lied to

They said they would listen to the community’s issues and add better pvp caves what we got was awful

[paper gazelle]

They have been for ages! Hope thats not broken now!?

[icy dagger]

worst caves ive ever seen keep killing the game cant believe i even waited for this garbage

[frosty trench]

@vapid abyss @spice warren why did you make astraeos so shit, you the dev lmao

[icy dagger]

listen to the community and fix this

going back on the uninstall list

[ivory plume]

I gotta admit I’m genuinely disappointed usually I don’t care but this is just bad

[valid ocean]

New to smalls anyone wanna take in a official pvp noob

[icy dagger]

they just dont get it

[zealous bobcat]

they do get it but they are not listening, they do what they want

this is how some people just are

nobody in this world is that busy that he does not have 5-10min check DMS or chats etc.

[sick sundial]

A beaver does almost as well as a chainsaw ngl

[plush light]

lol super overpowered tribe wiped me on update day

[tiny gorge]

Can someone answer me this question.
Why or how can people with animals lvl 300 and up be raiding small starting bases?
Like what is the point of wanting pvp if you dont let anybody grow

[vestal sky]

does anyone know when the official conquest servers will be up

[plush light]

Exactly, but they do it all the time. I have been playing the island, a tribe with level 450 Wyvern destroyed my base today. It probably took them a couple of minutes, and I know I had nothing of value to them, they just target small people all the time

[tiny gorge]

I got the same treatment like two days ago i was chilling in a serv and the alfa was chill with me, bearly 4 turrets with 200 arb in each like whats the gain of from it didn’t even have cryos

[dreamy wind]

Ye you kind of gotta know that will happen on every pvp server

[tiny gorge]

I get that it will happen in any pvp serv but jesus atleast in ase tribes would wait until you were beefy

I have seen so many servers that just get structure block so nobody can build in them and just get abandoned

[ivory plume]

What tribe ?

[plush light]

I know its pvp, but there’s other big tribes in the server, im a solo barely surviving and the same tribe that fucks over the small tribes does it again

[plush light]

Payback

[ivory plume]

Crossplay or consoles only ?

[plush light]

Consoles only

[ivory plume]

Also 1x or smalls

[ivory plume]

Welp there is your issue

[tiny gorge]

For me it was consoles small and it was tribe Adolfrizzler

[tiny gorge]

What would the problem be

[ivory plume]

Console alpha and mega tribes are toxic

[modern stag]

Guess you’ll have to suck up your pride and play with us dirty pc players, eh? 😂

[tiny gorge]

Yeah but then i go to crossplay and i get bodied by a pc guy that hits all his shots

[modern stag]

Tbf, aiming with a mouse and keyboard is a lot easier and smoother

[tiny gorge]

I wouldn’t mind it if the skill diff wasn’t so high

[ivory plume]

Honestly is

That and shadow steak gives you perfect aim

[modern stag]

That’s fair; you could try investing in m&k for your PlayStation to try and up your game

[ivory plume]

With a mouse

[tiny gorge]

I would if my dislexic ass could use a keybard as smooth

I have a gaming laptop and trust that wasn’t it for me

[modern stag]

My condolences

[plush light]

I will probably ditch the game for a while, I play solo and build to a point, get fucked over and then leave it for a while again

Hopefully when I return the tribe aren’t there

[tiny gorge]

Same ol same ol

[stable torrent]

Thats SmallTribes in a nutshell, don’t build in the plain open. There is a lot of stuff you can do to survive, build your base hidden, stad lowkey and never talk in global.

[ivory plume]

Check your dm

[zealous bobcat]

with orp u could survive solo longer, ur progress wont reset when u log off

by reset i mean some sweaty kid with 400lvl+ dinos raiding ur base

thats why i liked orp

[ivory plume]

Just build in a good rathole and your fine

Literally build rad calling on ab no one is going to raid you offline

Or even online for that matter

[zealous bobcat]

how u gonna breed dinos in a rat hole?

[modern stag]

Living as a small guy in swamp cave on island is pretty viable too

[ivory plume]

Plenty of room

On ab calling

[stable torrent]

Theres huge ratholes on Center

[modern stag]

Th e more hostile the environment to live in, the less people will want to have to prep to raid you

If I have to pack 4 gas masks to go raid some solo in swamp cave, unless he’s got loads of turrets and looks like bill gates in there, it’s just not worth the time

[ivory plume]

Literally insane amount of room on ab calling red zone rathole

[modern stag]

True; lot of ratholes getting devwiped atm tho, I hear

[zealous bobcat]

💀

[ivory plume]

Most use the mesh holes that’s why

Just block it off and your fine or don’t build in the mesh ones

[modern stag]

Fair ‘nuff

[ivory plume]

How about this man you try and build on rad ceiling rathole survive a week with proof and I’ll give you a caped mek

[sharp crater]

anyone know if they just released new smalls servers?

[zealous bobcat]

sure i can survive, i just build 1x1 box of wood and afk week.

there ya go

[ivory plume]

lol good luck

You gotta work a little more than that

[zealous bobcat]

doubt it.

[ivory plume]

You gotta get to rad celling

And not die from radiation while building to the clear spot

[zealous bobcat]

im gigachad

i dont die of radiations

i eat nuclear waste for breakfast

[ivory plume]

So unless you got a tek suit and some ele you gotta go get a rock drake

[icy dagger]

@ivory plume u on cross smalls?

[ivory plume]

Not anymore I play 1x now

[icy dagger]

gotcha

i got rid of my oasis cave on scorched cause the game kinda stale

[ivory plume]

Here give it to @zealous bobcat lol

[supple brook]

Any good pvp caves on the new astraeos map?

[coral tide]

Can anyone who plays eu arkpoc the center get on the server?

[worn glacier]

Where is the conquest servers when will they be back up?

[forest swift]

Where do I find pvp servers this game seem so dead

[quiet mesa]

Cosmo

[ivory plume]

nope

[ivory plume]

thats going to be so difficult

[eternal hornet]

@azect83

[rocky trail]

my ini ruins my performance on ark asa is anyone else having this problem

[quiet mesa]

That's how we did it on Conquest. Tamed Cosmo, farmed haz suits, got rad zone ceiling on day 1. More difficult on advanced server but fresh server, autos then heavies protects against anyone else getting up there. Then farm crazy to keep it. Lol

[ivory plume]

Im having doubts he can do it

but its a good spot i already told him that

especially the actual rathole part

[quiet mesa]

Yea. We can't use the rat hole on Conquest so we didn't even farm the rock but could see that being strong as long as you can farm enough haz suits and get tek pod asap

[vale elm]

they ruined island ice the big tribes dont care if the entrances are massive they have big towers outside an 50 defenders they just continue to enable the big tribes an make it harder an harder for anyone else to compete or even survive within the rules

[ivory plume]

bro you know most mega tribes don't live on a island right they live on centers island ice is defendable for a alpha towers are not the only solution its still holdable without them the new caves are ass in everyway

[ivory plume]

also yeah big tribes do care if the entrances are massive

so whoever told you that you dont know

[vale elm]

nothing like it was. what was tryin to say is removing crouches hurts smaller tribes and new tribe more than it does the big tribe by ten fold. you dint run 10 terror birds into the old ice cave a few could defend many

[ivory plume]

bro it hurts everyone not just small tribes

[vale elm]

bro whos pushin GC and GG caves besides devs seriously they could make them twice the size an it wouldnt matter one bit all it does is give the little guys somewhere strong to compete

[ivory plume]

you know GG does not have a island right ?

they have one center

[glad stump]

How can I get into the PvP Mod servers?

[steep elm]

anyone know if they disabled megalanias/ravs

please tell me they did

[crude blaze]

why cant i see any pvp offical servers

[ebon hornet]

is arkpocalypse has server on dc?

[crude blaze]

why is offcial pvp servers not working for pc

[austere tangle]

Anyone found out if the plant r seeds are a thing yet

[steep elm]

they're not

[austere tangle]

You checked club ark

[still coyote]

They should name this update arkpocalypse

[west pier]

Anyone know of a good small tribes astraeos server where the alphas aren’t wankers

[dry cobalt]

Straight buns

[sweet peak]

Can someone give me any tips on where to make a base in the PVP server for the center map

I’m assuming on that center island but I don’t know if that’s not a good spot for a base or something

[raw sand]

find a rathole to live in

[crisp brook]

Na pvp console smalls way to toxic to even try to build up on

[ornate marten]

What does each of the cakes do?

[pearl kite]

Are there new servers on day 1 or is it a glitch

[dawn ferry]

Just a glitch

[pearl kite]

Dang

Got my hopes up

[dawn ferry]

Haha sorry, just a bug

[steel shard]

Anyone know ow why arkpoc is taking ages to load in and also why its displaying gibberish on the loading screen?

[velvet bough]

Anyone else randomly dying to anti mesh

[velvet bough]

Don’t build in the open find a spot off the cliff or a rat hole

[velvet bough]

Was just walking around my base doing my morning imprints my carbos were done so started to cryo them all cryoing one of the last ones screen freezes I die go to where I died no bag check tribe log been killed to anti mesh lost full Tek suit about 15 carbos 3 theris and a full grown catcher with cap saddle thanks DEVs from bringing out yet another broken update 👍🏻

[teal coral]

so they disabled most of the commands? cuz my ark looks like ark. just trash and laggy ...

[covert knot]

That would be none

[crude blaze]

why is offcial pvp servers not working for pc

[frank sapphire]

can we pls have orp official servers back? pvp is death

[honest patio]

windows pc verison has official pvp servers disabled because it didnt launch with working anticheat and was disabled until they add it back into game on that verison

[crude blaze]

so how long do i gotta wait

[honest patio]

we dont know its been disabled since shortly after game launched, probably wont hear anything about it for awhile

[crude blaze]

worst dev team of all time

[vital pecan]

Anyone with ini working after update?

[steel shard]

i was flying in the sky and ran and randomly killed, not even near the sky border, no turrets or anything as it was too high

[steel shard]

A long wait

[iron kite]

Iirc it’s microsofts fault for the windows servers

[static jetty]

Why did some servers disappear?

I waited for several hours.

[steel shard]

I literally got on and my base has been destroyed like wtf

[late walrus]

Is anyone able to get into the arkpoc servers? Mine keeps saying the stacking mod is incompatible with the current game version and won’t update 😐

[split scaffold]

When rag releases will small tribes characters be able to transfer?

[steel shard]

Yes I'm in right now, people have been getting raided left right and center, its ridiculously laggy

[late walrus]

Bruhhh, I’ve been installing and uninstalling and updating these mods for the last hour and it’s just keeps breaking

[steel shard]

Yeah I kept doing the same for hours until it let me in, no point anyways because it needs a roll back

[late walrus]

Okay, glad im not the only one lol, cheers for your help brother 🙏

[steel shard]

All good mate

[potent flint]

anyone has a good ini code for asa?

[zealous bobcat]

when orp?

[velvet bough]

You know what I mean half my spammed got anti meshed for some strange reason legit out in the open

[last wedge]

Never.. just quit ur job and play ark all night

[steel shard]

Ark is broken man haha

[solemn crown]

Anyone have mana above 1k melee crossplay

[true bridge]

hey everyone, im trying to craft the snow owl and mana seddle on modded, but dont show, is a black design, anyone know how i can get that?

[eager crater]

Astreos servers days reset but no wipe right?

[onyx spindle]

any one know how i can join the high pop pvp servers just getting back into the game

[low escarp]

when is the center servers out

[coral tide]

Is it letting anyome else on arkpoc it says I need to download the mods but dosent download em

[finite adder]

Anyone knows why my camera is shaking on aberration durting earthquakes? Eventhough i have my shake scale all the way down to 0?

[sterile ether]

I don’t think any console is able to join servers with mods rn, it gets stuck in a download loop for me

[coral tide]

Same here

[sterile ether]

But PC players can play just fine I think…….. all us console players are probably wiped by now

[coral tide]

Probably

[remote oriole]

Lf for players to join my tribe.
I'm on an ARK Global X5 [PVP] [NO MODS]
I'm solo as of right now. Already got a base down with plant species x just looking for some ppl to have fun with

[silver zealot]

Have they nerfed the party dodos already? Feels like it

[potent flint]

hey cant place my tesla in singleplayer any idea why?

[remote rampart]

smalls?

[remote rampart]

in cave?

[potent flint]

yeah

and are there no htachfarmes?

[sterile ether]

Use thin pillars to recreate hatchframes

[remote rampart]

Can't place teslas in caves sadly

[remote rampart]

Thin version of pillars, less obstruction

[sterile ether]

That’s what I said….

[steel wing]

Did they release new official astrous servers?

[zealous bobcat]

are the transfers disabled on new map astrous?

[rocky trail]

anyone on apocalyptic or smalltribes and need for a tribemate?

[dark pecan]

I cant even get on arkpoc

[hollow nimbus]

Dont suppose anyone could help me in solo lost my character was 145 with all tek started from scratch got an Indy chem bench up in a day and some autos im level 88 struggling to hit 100 I need a decent kit or a spare asc pre-made shotgun if anyone could help

[raw sand]

i cant get on arkpoc either

[ivory plume]

Issue is pal your on console only small tribes

[ivory plume]

What no

It’s not a new map just a extension

[half swan]

any1 wanna play ark pokemon mod

[wild loom]

Anyone has an good ini ?

[late turtle]

Does anyone know if there’s a pvp server like mts arena where I can join and practice my pvp skills and fight other people

I remember ase had servers like that and was wondering if there’s any good way to practice PvP in Asa now

[young prairie]

Anyone on console smalls want a juicy little base on an ab server? Two tek suits raided my stone base and they seemed pretty fat. I know where their base is in blue zone! XRP is the tribe

[iron kite]

Vanquished

[cursive haven]

We can make bunkbeds and ill duke it out with you dude

Always down for a exhibition match

[late turtle]

I’m down for that when I can get on I’ll dm u

[late turtle]

Alr thx I’ll look into it

[fervent musk]

Is there a way to unbury an enemys treasure chest ? Found one with the wolf but don’t know how to get it out the ground

[steady harness]

shovel

[modern stag]

For any of you lads running bladewasps, how many do you think is worth it before the beehive/wasp ratio becomes too extreme? 1 honey provides 30 minutes of power and takes 45 minutes to produce, so that’s already 2 hives just for one bladewasp

[pearl kite]

Does no one on Asa play unofficial anymore?

Biggest servers is 5 pop what happened from ase to Asa for unofficial

[dark pecan]

This should not be taking g this dam long

this is a joke

[mystic swift]

Dark2Drippy?

[cursive haven]

Huh?

[mystic swift]

Awee it’s not u

He was a homie

[tender blade]

For f-ing real

[tender blade]

You don’t really need more than 1 or 2 per tower or rathole

[lofty sandal]

Arkpoc still down? I’m at work still

[tender blade]

The search on Asa is trash only shows some servers, you have to type more to find better results and yeah unofficial is kinda low pop on Asa but you can find some with cluster lists

[modern stag]

Fair enough, thanks m8; I’ve gotten loads of them from yellow osds, but I’d have to have hella hives to keep them all powered

[tender blade]

Are you on official?

[modern stag]

Aye

[tender blade]

Same thing applies but on unofficial if players are not allowed to build in bee cave on astreos it’s a great spot to get insane amounts of honey

[modern stag]

Oh damn, thanks for the tip

I’m thinking 8 teslas will be the way to go, in pairs of stun+damage up

Few plant x just for the cc, then rest heavies and teks as usual

So nice to finally have alternatives to just teks and heavies tbh

And they work wonders against soakers

[tender blade]

Are you living in a rathole or is this for a tower

[modern stag]

Smaller base for sure

Tucked away neatly, but still room for a load of guns

[tender blade]

Ahh ok

[flint thistle]

anyone want to play

[lofty sandal]

Arkpoc still down?

[bleak scarab]

bro every server is down, not even able log in for local games now

[raw sand]

yay

[flint thistle]

pm if play

[honest patio]

use #1110949794907684965

[honest patio]

uncheck xbox only online multiplayer, if its grayed out restart game and uncheck it

[vestal kernel]

Hey can online help me with some raiding questions? I’m not too experienced raiding on asa so I just want to see what good strats there are.

[edgy estuary]

Soak with Stegos

[vestal kernel]

Lol that’s like the obv of obv

Same with pt spins

I was more asking along the lines of a base that is high in the air that the stegos can’t get to

Like in a cave high up on ab

[vestal kernel]

Still looking for help

[granite cliff]

build into it

[vestal kernel]

Tunneling is banned

[granite cliff]

idk what that even means

im not banned

[vestal kernel]

It’s banned on my unofficial server

[granite cliff]

well build up and soak 🙂

[vestal kernel]

Been doing that for 6 hours now

[slate tapir]

Anyone running ini commands on Xbox?

[iron kite]

Throw stegos in with a karki

[vestal kernel]

They won’t tank

All the turrets are player only aside from a few that are player and mounted tame only

[iron kite]

Are you solo?

[vestal kernel]

Yes

[zealous bobcat]

send in the arthoplureras if they player and mounted only

they eat the base for free

[iron kite]

True

But if it’s high up it might be difficult whistling it to the right things

Genes and such might not even be in whistle range

[vestal kernel]

lol not even one turret is in whistle range

The lowest turret is 40 walls high from ground level

[vernal pine]

Try to cannon, try to fortnite to soak. I mean its ab, you don't have realy a lot of possibility

[quiet mesa]

Aggressive Arthros and Pyros until they have to set some turrets to tames then Carbos and Stegos until soaked/turrets changed again.

[vestal kernel]

I refer to my message above that the turrets are 40 walls high

They are on the wall of a mountain

[quiet mesa]

You could use the blimp from Bob's Tales. Tedious but best way on Ab.

[vestal kernel]

I don’t have bobs

[quiet mesa]

Then fortnite is the play.

[iron kite]

Theres definitely a way to raid just need to find a way to build up to it

[vestal kernel]

lol I’ve tried

I built a good 15 ramps high

[quiet mesa]

How about C4 strapped Dimorphs?

[vestal kernel]

Before it stopped me cause they had foundation control

Turrets out of whistle range:/

[quiet mesa]

Even from your 15 high ramp?

[vestal kernel]

The bottom few are but I’ve already tanked those out

And I can’t get to the top of my ramp because I’ll be shot even on a stego

[iron kite]

What about above their base

[vestal kernel]

World border

[quiet mesa]

So why can't you destroy more foundations then if bottom turrets are tanked?

[vestal kernel]

They have it up the wall

Behind turrets

[floral pulsar]

If theyre on the side of a cliff build you build on the side

[vestal kernel]

Tunneling is banned on my server

[floral pulsar]

Just gotta bring foundy supports down and semi carpet the floor to be able to extend

Its not tunneling just build on their height

[vestal kernel]

Check dm @floral pulsar and @quiet mesa

[tender blade]

Anyone have good console command for console that doesn’t make the game glitch out or crash but will give me an advantage in PvP

[worthy notch]

[jagged void]

Yeah like e dedis of metal

[glacial urchin]

alguien para jugar smalltribes soy lvl 84 no tengo nada xd

[low hemlock]

Why does nobody speak in game chats

[iron kite]

Because discord or party chats are better

[ivory plume]

Yes they are

[low hemlock]

But they don’t even respond to my desperate pleads

[modern stag]

Depends on the server m8; but most folks on official don’t want to be identified if they’re there to rob you lol

[spring lichen]

Anyone want to start some small tribes pvp? Looking to start one up!

[wraith estuary]

is therer any way of knowing what server i left my old character on?

[rugged ferry]

Anyone want to help a brotha out with a few FFA tames? Been wiped anything would help 🙂 console only smalls

[modern stag]

Not unless you remember it; ‘s why I always put what server I’m going to in my disc lol

[covert compass]

are there good pvp cave on new region of astraeos ?

[modern stag]

They weren’t designed for PvP, but with enough guns you can make them work anyways

[hollow nimbus]

Anyone know any good spots on extinction for a solo without tek just heavies easily defendable

[hollow nimbus]

U wann join me ?

[modern stag]

Well if I told you a spot, there would immediately be 10 people from here checking it for solo bases with loot lol

[hollow nimbus]

Haha you could pm me

[modern stag]

I could; but I’m just going to broadly suggest someplace out of the way and hidden; get a bladewasp or two, 4-8 Tesla coils, and heavies to your hearts content

[hollow nimbus]

Okay thanks

[shrewd chasm]

Any pvp servers for consoles looking for tribe

[hollow nimbus]

Yeah

[hollow nimbus]

Join me if you want solo just got to level 100 after starting fresh got Indy chem couple heavies basic grinding tames if you wanna join only me

[shrewd chasm]

Il text u since im not home yet and i wanna let u know im trash at the game but i could help u with resources

[hollow nimbus]

I’m not bothered about the PvP aspect Aslong as you know the game and know how to grind n stuff

[supple pulsar]

I'm going by the twitter posts from snail and jukari.

[foggy pawn]

what can i do if i dont find the spam from enemy to clear ? is there an INI ???

[surreal prism]

Go around with your own spam and zero in on it by seeing where you can place

[digital terrace]

Ice cave and watergate cave seem good if you are online to defend

[foggy pawn]

[oblique pagoda]

Anyone know why wind Turbine engram just vanished? I unlocked it made 1 went to make 1 more and it's not showing

[dark oyster]

anyone on smalls doin trades?

[oblique pagoda]

Is smalls the same as official?

[dark oyster]

there offical servers still just 2x and tribe cap is 6

[limber marlin]

Any boss fights?

[steel shard]

Smalls is separate from officals, buts its still (offical) with slightly higher rates and smaller tribe limit

[ivory plume]

No

[steel shard]

I would suggest playing smalls over official at this stage.

[ivory plume]

Small has a higher rate mainly 3x and on event 4.5x

[dark oyster]

oh my bad

i thought it was 2 im trippin

[ivory plume]

Bro small tribes is a joke you know this right it’s like 6 tribes that are just megas in disguise

And the cheating is worse than 1x in every way

[dark oyster]

fr everyone built to the max

easly to

[ivory plume]

They break the concept of what small tribes is supposed to be

[steel shard]

Yes I dont personally like it, I play conquest and Arkpoc but I'm talking about if he has a small tribe. If it was me, I would just suggest conquest or arkpoc.

[dark oyster]

i agree bro

i mean i play smalls but ts is ass

[ivory plume]

I really wouldn’t suggest small tribes way to competitive and way to many big tribes would be easier to ally and survive on 1x at this stage tbh

[steel shard]

I use to love offical during the island, center, rag on release for ase was great, I played smalls didn't quite like it.

[dark oyster]

i like the competitive part tho

[ivory plume]

Yeah if it was actually 6 man tribes and not groups of 80 working together if I wanted that I’d just play 1x lol

[dark oyster]

thats why i be playin the game i like the action and consistency

[dark oyster]

nah i get it and your not wrong one bit

you go to one server and evry tribe on it are m8s in some way and help each other

[ivory plume]

You have seen the tribe map for smalls right ?

[dark oyster]

yeah ive seen it

[ivory plume]

It’s bad literally 6 tribes that control smalls right now and all of them got like 80-90 members

And they don’t fight each other

It’s so dumb

[dark oyster]

exacly

[iron kite]

Tbh even if you don’t run into them you probably have to deal with jobless account sharers anyway

[dark oyster]

almsot impossible to survive for a good amount of time

[dark oyster]

aint wrong lmao

[iron kite]

Most messages I see in smalls recruitment servers/channels acc sharing and high daily hours is a req like 85% of the time

[ivory plume]

Like the concept of small tribes is cool and works on unofficial and even conquest and stuff like that but it’s when there is no enforcement of rules and people abusing the concept that it don’t work

It’s more fragile than 1x ark is lol

[dark oyster]

oh 100%

i played 1x for 3 years in one tribe

something youll never get to do on smalls XD

the longest i lasted on smalls is tops 5 months

[hollow nimbus]

Don’t suppose anyone have a spare ffa rex or anything on smalls console my only corrupted nodule harvester got killed by trolls haha

[ivory plume]

Nope no one really plays smalls consoles if it was crossplay maybe but not consoles only

[rocky trail]

2.5 actually is the base rates bob

[zealous bobcat]

all more reasons to play orp

just give us orp

the "alphas" cant wipe my base, its fun to stick it up for them

i used to juggle between maps to craft and build bases and breed dinos, they cant be everywhere once. so much easier to survive and bully the bullies

[rocky trail]

dog poo game

[vernal solstice]

Totally doable in smalls

[ivory plume]

Bro small tribes sucks just admit it

1x is way better in every way

[vernal solstice]

Not if you play solo

Small tribes on Scorched is 9x on the weekends and events lmao

[ivory plume]

You can play solo just fine on 1x and do way better

[ivory plume]

Bro at most it’s 4x

The highest I’ve seen on smalls is 6x and that was months ago

[vernal solstice]

Screw that. I don't slave away anymore. I would rather play a little less because I have a life. Well obviously you play 1x so how would you notice the 9x on Scorched?

Also what do you mean "do way better" I do just fine not getting raided and breeding with better rates

[ivory plume]

Bro it’s never been 9X on scorched the map doesn’t matter the rate is the same across the cluster if you can show me when it was 9X on the rates list Ill believe you

[vernal solstice]

I'll dm you a screenshot fr

[ivory plume]

Ok go ahead

[vernal solstice]

Oh shii have to download again since the unreal 5.5 update but I will DM u when it is done. Scorched is the only map that does it. Normal rates are 4.5x on there

[ivory plume]

Bro there is no difference

Show me a picture of when on the rates menu from this discord it was 9X

[vernal solstice]

It's 9x rn but I can't show u until it is done downloading. Why do you even care to try and call me a liar?

[ivory plume]

The last time yall had a 9X event was 11/4/24

And that was due to the Christmas event

And 1x was 6.5 times

You point makes no sense

[vernal solstice]

Lmao you are not hearing me it isn't a special event. Just wait a bit and I will show you me picking up 9 stones from one on Scorched small tribes

[ivory plume]

Bro show me on the discord where it says you have a 9X event now

[vernal solstice]

I will show you IN GAME...

[ivory plume]

Bro that means nothing to me showing me a post by the bot that tells you the actual rate means more

[vernal solstice]

Or you could just join a small tribes Scorched server and pick up a rock urself

They never say anything in the discord yo. It's just the Scorched servers. If that's what you need for proof then just drop it and move on lol

[ivory plume]

There is no special rate on scorched earth for 9X imprint or gathering isn’t like that on 1x or any official cluster it is as posted on the discord by the bot

[vernal solstice]

Bruh idc what you think I care about what I get when I play

[ivory plume]

You get a 4.5x event this week

Not a 9X I can guarantee that

[vernal solstice]

Go on a Scorched small tribes server and go take your guarantee there

[ivory plume]

I did and did not get 9 stone and just looked at a buddies screen he definitely does not have a 9X imprint on his Dino’s

His stego took longer to raise than 5 hours so definitely not 9X raising

Seems to be on track with 4.5x not

9X

[vernal solstice]

K I don't believe u

[ivory plume]

Would you like to seem me do an imprint here in a bit ???

Or try cooking down an egg you will see the timer is in line with 4.5x rates not 9X rates

[ivory plume]

?

[vernal solstice]

take it to dms

[hollow nimbus]

Move to crossplay wanna help haha

[ivory plume]

Sure

[warm owl]

[upbeat ice]

Hey! Hoping someone can help, I'm looking for an active pvp vanilla server, preferrably 2man but 3 or 4 would be okay. If anyone has any reccomendations it would be greatly appreciated

[sonic ermine]

Is anybody else having trouble with the robot it was working before the update it's not working

[wraith atlas]

They always seem to slow down a bit when there's rates on. I think its to do with servers being under more stress. If you're in render for a while they do end up working again.

[unreal quail]

join ours ! complete ark island, just started an hour ago

[torn acorn]

Depends how you want to use it, if scouting or farming far away items then maybe stam and weight, if you're actually trying to fight with them go HP cause mostly people use them to dive bomb past ppls defenses and C4 gens and stuff, kamikaze style.

[worthy egret]

[rocky trail]

[rocky trail]

[karmic forum]

looking to trade for a charchar near hatching

[modern stag]

Alright lads; if anyone has the 3 artifacts you need for ab on 1x official, I’ve got the 3 you need for scorched and am looking to trade

Depths, shadows and stalker are what I’m after

[hardy grove]

hey guys is there is any new way to put turrets floating on doorframes?

nvm already found a new way to do it

[leaden oracle]

Drop the method

[lapis adder]

How does one raid pearl caves that have tek turrets set on players? I have drained most turrets set on tames with basilos, but now those player ones are annoying, I would use golems but teks hurt

[hardy grove]

go with a plesi build racer build carbo c4 or whatever you can

if you soaked all dino turrets just put c4 on carbo and whistle

[lapis adder]

doest c4 get shot by any turrets? I was thinking about whistling an Artho since its 6x

[hardy grove]

it doesnt

you can use arthro aswell but carbo c4 is better imo

[lapis adder]

Is there a specific place where to place the c4?

[hardy grove]

although if there are still dino turrets the turret will shoot the carbo

[hardy grove]

place it on head preferably

and then whistle follow it and go above the pearl cave for it to get to the turret wall

it would be nice if you have a mate telling you where to go

[lapis adder]

I do have that tek helmet

I will give it a try later

[hardy grove]

alr

[vestal dune]

asa pvp server turret cap 150 how would yall attack a tower that has 50 teslas 100 turrets
the teslas spammed on volitile and bright just shred everything we have

[steel shard]

If some are on dinos then yes it will shoot the c4, most people who live there will have both

[steel shard]

Just gonna have to tank as much as possible with a tek rex behind

[hardy grove]

soaking.

put like carbos and stegos to soak

and maybe tek rex the tek turrets

[green jetty]

is it usefull to level basilisk in melee ? do their poison spit more damage if leveled in melee ?

[modern stag]

Tek grenades work wonders on turrets btw

Pack brews, get your medical trait on your chest, get some good food and drink and get soaking babyyy

[halcyon glacier]

Andrewsarchus

[lucid totem]

What are the best caves on astreos to take for pvp

[lapis adder]

Im on asa :/

[modern stag]

Capped flak is everywhere, if they’re not actively defending soaking is a cinch

[halcyon glacier]

In that case, assuming all the none player turrets are capped out, you could try whistling arthros to the turrets.

[modern stag]

Oh shoot, I didn’t realize you weren’t on official, sorry m8

[steel shard]

There isnt many good ones, I would suggest Ice cave maybe but none are that good

[lucid totem]

Any underwater ones?

[neon grove]

Is anyone actually able to play now on Xbox? Games so laggy, every time we teleport it literally crashes

[hardy grove]

Check Dms

[cloud epoch]

some1 figured out how to fix the 10fps bug?

[honest patio]

they are still working on fps issues last i saw

[steel shard]

I haven't explored the ocean much, but yes there are underwater caves one being really big but I haven't seen it myself

[vernal pine]

Yep underwater cave are the only good. Brut cave is the meta for this maps

[trim chasm]

Anyone else getting this annoying crash everytime they transfer maps?

[green jetty]

how to build a skelly tower on not straight ground ?

[rare quarry]
