    Reminds me of a Woolly Rhino

    Any recommendations for the Snow Cave (The Island)?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 08:10 AM PST

    I run a private server for my friend and I and we just can NOT handle the snow cave. The server difficulty is raised (max wild dino lvl is 300), so the polar bears/yetis/purlovias are usually between 450-600.

    We've tried everything we can think of! We have ridiculous armor and weapons from the Christmas event (~7000 armor each, shotguns and rifles at ~600% each). We tried:

    • A slow and steady crawl with just the 2 of us, but that ended bloody after the second or third room.

    • An armada(14) of high level(~lvl 400) dimorphs. They all died in under a minute from polar bears

    • For shiggles, we tried bringing in our mate bonded pair of lvl 500 dire wolves. Did okay for a minute, but just couldn't keep their hp up without the armor from a saddle.

    • Out of desperation, we teleported our pteranodons in, but even then the purlovias eventually landed a hit on us and knocked us off.

    WTF do people do to clear this cave? We love a good challenge, but even taking our best shit is amounting to nothing! Would love to hear any ideas you guys might have

    The Ark-gument

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 07:31 AM PST

    The Ark-gument

    Stuck inside, we know not where,

    This blessed Ark, we all must share.

    "Blessed," you say? I disagree.

    A cursed realm is all I see.

    But here we've friends, and dino's too,

    Just find some tames, they'll comfort you.

    Tamed or not, I care not say.

    I wish these beasts would go away.

    Go build a base, and hone your craft,

    Or make your space upon a raft.

    A mobile grave you think I need?

    For all my boats have met the Leed!

    A tribe can help, you'll all survive,

    Strength in numbers, to stay alive.

    ROFL, that's all you've got?

    I joined a tribe, and I got shot!

    Then solo live, for many do.

    I'll be your friend, and live near you.

    A friend, indeed, yes I should be,

    But die you must, it's PVP!

    Thanks for reading, hope you liked it and got a few laughs thinking about all the ark experiences we've all shared. I wrote this over a year ago, or it would have read like this:

    Mesh, mesh, mesh, meshed meshing meshers mesh,

    meshed meshers mesh mesh, meshed mesh mesh mesh.

    MANARGARMR! mesh, etc.

    Just tamed my first Spino and...

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 11:37 AM PST

    Spinosaurus has always been my favorite dinosaur, but despite having the game for a while I was still pretty noobish and have never tamed one. Until last night. I tamed a beautiful pitch black spinosaurus, my first one ever. She was only level 40 but I was pumped for finally adding my favorite creature to my menagerie. My base was right across a river, and I proudly led my new tame across. Anyway, we were swarmed and killed immediately in what's normally a super safe area. RIP Nyx, my first Spino who will always be missed.

    Haha, I love this game. It may have some flaws, but I don't think I've played another game that has so much potential for personal stories and investment. Anyway, back to trying to find a new Spinosaurus!

    Dino Warpaint TLC

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 11:23 AM PST

    Would be super nice if the Warpaint system was overhauled to some extent. Currently, the UI is a bit confusing, colors don't show up properly, and some larger creatures are difficulty to paint because you can't zoom/pan far enough unless you spin your canvas around in excess to be able to see a spot on your tame, but due to zoom limitations, that spot is a mile away.

    Main Issues:

    • Colors don't show properly (Black, Forest, ect)

    • Clunky controls

    • Zoom/pan limits are too limiting

    • Some dinos have 'paint hitboxes' which overlap, or are awkwardly shaped 'pixel' polygons

    This feature can be really special with a bit of tweaking, I think.

    King Titan Strategy

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 11:03 AM PST

    I have 5 people to work with what do you think would be the optimal build to take out Gamma and Beta? For Alpha we would have the mega mek so it wouldn't be as bad, I don't think. I completed Gamma before the titans were nerfed to take a bunch more damage so I didn't know if that made it much worse or changed the strategy. I have seen people mention using Velos on a quetz but didn't know if someone had some tried and true strategies to use.

    My idea would be maybe 3 titans with riders. 2 people in meks with a squad of velos to protect the element veins. I just don't know if that would be enough damage for the king titan before the tamed titans died.

    Anyone have a good estimate on how many heavy bullets a titanosaur can take?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 01:07 PM PST

    Gonna tame a titan to soak a huge base with about 50 heavy turrets

    and the turret damage is 2x on this server,

    and if each turret has 1500 bullets,

    then i have no idea if i can soak them all,

    because i did the math and thats 11 million raw damage from turrets

    How do you travel?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 12:14 PM PST

    Hello, I just got the game two nights ago, primarily to play with some Discord friends on a private PvPvE server(basically PvE with PvP allowed on the weekends, no offline raiding, some mods and boosted EXP). I started on singleplayer to learn the basics, and started on the server yesterday afternoon.

    Got established with a base and a few tames pretty fast, but thinking I was on the NW(I was actually in the SW) side of Ragnorak, I decided to travel to what I thought was the NE side.. I pretty quickly got hit by a pack of raptors that killed two of my tames, and then ultimately got attacked by a bird thing that killed my Parasaur then chased me off a cliff. Restarted and fell off another cliff. Then restarted in the Highland E area, and have basically become established again.

    However, I have realized everyone in the server is over in the NW side of the map, and I kind of want to be close enough to participate in server stuff, but far enough to be safe. I don't want to completely restart, so I am left with trying to figure out how to safely move me and some supplies to a new base location closer to the rest of the players...

    How do you peoples go about safely traveling? If I lose everything again I am just going to tribe up with the only other solo player on the server lol.

    Ark Survival Evolved download size

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 12:05 PM PST

    Ok, I get it's a big beautiful game and has a lot of different assets that make it great and all, but even games like GTAV manage to make themselves not 120GB...does this dev team actually work on file compression? Like damn, I know I need a bigger hard drive, but taking up 50% of one of my hard drive's space is rough right now. Not firing shots, just feels overly unnecessary for some reason to be that large when every other game on PC manages to have a fairly optimized size.

    Anybody else feel the same about this?

    Vault Lock Settings (Unofficial PS4, PVE)

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 07:30 AM PST

    Hey friends, I just started my own unofficial ps4 server, PVE, and I can't figure out how to make it so vaults are locked by default when you create them. All vaults are unlocked by default right now and have to be PIN coded to lock it. I have PVE enabled, so the only other thing I can think of that would cause this is an ORP setting, which I've tried messing with to no avail. Help plz!

    Mutated Dino’s

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 05:26 AM PST

    Was wondering since I'm bearly getting into mutating. Are any Dino's viable for bosses at 254 stat cap? Or are there Dino's that just won't cut it no matter how high you get stats at? Was thinking Direwolfs and Bigfoots for bosses and such. Thanks in advance for the responses!

    PS4 vs PC(unofficial)

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 08:29 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I was hoping to get some of your opinions on Ark for the PS4. The majority of my hours have been on PC unofficial. Lately my friends and I have been playing more PS4 and I'm wondering if Ark would be a decent pickup.

    Any comments on the gameplay for PS4 would be appreciated!

    doing the math for a raid and need some double checking

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 08:28 AM PST

    Im going to do a raid where im estimating the tribe has 50 heavy turrets,

    if they put 1500 bullets per turret

    the server i play on has 2x turret damage (official heavies do 300)

    50x1500 = 75000 bullets

    75000/4 = 18750 bullets shot

    18750 bullets 600 damage each shot

    1875 x 600 = 11,250,000 damage to soak

    is my math correct?

    Any good ark servers?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 11:27 AM PST

    Does anyone know servers that dont have structure or dino decay and dont clear items after dupes? The structure decay is broken, i knew something was wrong when there were houses when i spawned, when i used to play mc survival servers that almost always meant a server that reset.

    Nevermind, ark does bans so i dont really want to play anymore anyway.

    What’s the most absurd strategy you’ve ever used to beat a boss?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2019 07:12 AM PST

    I once raised an army of stegosaurus with upwards of 20k health each and a decent melee, and with the help of a friend, a yuty, and a daeodon named Meme Supreme, we actually won with minimal loss against gamma megapithicus. I was surprised to say the least.
