    Wildcard devs

    like 25% of our vaults are gone

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 10:34 AM PDT

    BTW, here are the new tek engrams awarded for alpha manticore. Not bad at all, wish the Tek turret was added but its a good change i suppose.

    Wanted to thank devs for the recent communication and work regarding meshing

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 10:12 AM PDT

    Watched a video today that showed some of the wildcard team responding to meshing. Also like how they put teleport zones around popular base spots/mesh holes. Took pearl and bear cave on a dedi and meshers have been trying to get in but haven't got in yet. Usually we don't get too attached to anything until we have mesh defense up, but it's nice there's spots like that where you can just play how it's meant to be played.

    Give the Doed a weight reduction on sand

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 02:50 PM PDT

    A Doed is the main way to gather sand and stone. It already has a weight reduction for stone. There is no reason it shouldn't have the same thing for sand.

    Vault stacking change

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 09:53 AM PDT

    Current Server Version: v294.112 - April 4, 2019

    "Vaults will no longer stack in place when they fall

    Note: A future patch will destroy existing stacked vaults"

    Wildcard, this update is very problematic. Yes I understand you are trying to remove the vault drop meta, which is fine, it's over powered, I get it.

    But if you are going to destroy existing stacked vaults, that means every tribe has to somehow move all their resources from any vaults they stacked for actual storage purposes, or risk losing everything in them. You're going to have A LOT of angry players on your hands after you wipe out all their resources.

    Please rethink this upcoming auto-destroy or at least find a way to only destroy vaults that are being used for defensive purposes.

    Things I think would be interesting

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 04:00 AM PDT

    • executions/fatalities- I was never a fan of how dinos fighting amounted to them replaying the same animations over and over until one turns into a ragdoll. What I would find interesting is the prospect of unique kill animations between certain dinos, especially those with irl connections. (ex: trike and rex, diplo and allo) I do recognize though that A) on meat runs it could be pretty annoying to have your dino just stop and play a finishing move and B) when a dino is being swarmed by enemies, having it stop to finish one is probably the worst thing that can happen. With that in mind, I feel they should be conditional and if I were to design it myself, I would make it so that if there was a currently hostile creature nearby, the animation wouldn't play, and if you were holding down a directional input at the time, a fast animation would occur to allow quickly going from enemy to enemy.

    • death animations for larger creatures- more of a continuation of the above, I think a death animation would be interesting, and it would be even less work than executions since A) it wouldn't be two creatures interacting in one animation and B) there are already knockout animations. I think reusing KO animations at maybe a different speed wouldn't be too confusing since the game tells you when you kill a dino anyway. To avoid confusion it would be better though if, should they put in such animations, they make unique ones.

    • mid tier dino TLC- the carno isn't particularly good, the megalodon isn't either, and I don't think people need to say anything about the diplodocus. And it's not like there aren't ideas out there how to fix it: seemingly every mod that modifies dinos gives the diplo a decent hitting attack, and one of my favorite dino rework mods, zth chargers, gives the carno a rhino style charge which works pretty well for it. I think the creatures sucking in game is a shame though given how carnotaurus was one of the fastest large theropods, diplodocus was among the longest of all dinos, and megalodon had the strongest bite force of anything on earth.

    A better Liopleurodon- I probably should have put this in the mid tier TLC spot... anyhow, I think given the promise of a sort of deep sea miner who can harvest silica and make oxygen drain more slowly, the meme of a liopleurodon we got is just disappointing. Kraken's better dinos includes a lio similar to the one promised, and while I think it's a bit too powerful with its ridiculously slow oxygen drain rate and ability to use weapons along with high damaging attacks, it shows just how much better it could have been.

    Prim + food and crops- I think a number of the prim + food items are interesting, such as the juices which can be consumed by the player to stop stamina degradation, and the coffee and tea which protect against hyperthermia and slower food consumption.

    Changes to vaults in v294.112 - Need clarification

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 10:34 AM PDT

    According to the patch notes:

    Vaults will no longer stack in place when they fall Note: A future patch will destroy existing stacked vaults 

    What about overlapping vaults? What about vaults clipped inside of other structures? About half of my storage is about to get rekt by this patch so I really need some clarification on what is going to be salvageable and what is going to be destroyed.

    Will vault drops be possible at all?

    ankylo issue after homestead update.

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 08:23 AM PDT

    Ankylo picking up berries again after update. Was this per design? Finding my self dumping berries all the time when I do metal runs now its rather annoying.

    Dear devs: please make the other DLC maps have dino level spawns similar to Rag. Here's why:

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 06:01 PM PDT

    Ever notice how a large majority of Rag servers are heavily/excessively populated AND at take cap, some even this long after pods? There's a reason.

    Rag, as any vet knows, spawns dinos at higher average levels than any other map. This gives everyone incentive to just make their main base operation on Rag and none of the other maps.

    I'm suggesting/requesting that the other DLC maps be set to the same spawn level-weights to make those maps have a little more incentive. The weights on SE and Ab right now lean so heavily towards 15-50 that those maps, aside from farming metal in the case of ab, don't have too much other benefit for making them a main server of operation.

    Titan food meter not going up?

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 10:58 AM PDT

    At some point in the past week (or two?) my Titans stopped consuming; the stacks are depleted when I force-feed, but the food meter doesn't increase at all. I didn't notice anything in any recent patch notes, and I haven't seen widespread complaints about it, does anyone else know what's going on?

    EDIT: I have raid dino feeding enabled.

    Classic pvp

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 03:34 AM PDT

    I know everyone hates classic pvp, but recently I've been playing it to get away from managarms and titans. I noticed that they have removed quetzal taming along with tapejaras. My question is how are people supposed to raid cliff bases without quetzals?

    Difference in gameplay in Console vs PC

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 05:24 AM PDT

    So I've played this game on PC. I love it. My friends don't have a pc so we wanted to play on console. This is not a debate of whether one is better then the other, because no offense, PC is always gonna be better for a game when it starts on PC and is ported to console.

    So I want to know the difference. Can you host a dedicated server on ark? Certain Dino's missing? Crafting different? Etc. Is it worth playing on Xbox?

    Reminder that ps4 has had the no fall damage exploit since release

    Posted: 04 Apr 2019 08:56 AM PDT

    https://youtu.be/6hUSHlBNbMg

    Spamming your inventory button from any sort of height will essentially pause you in midair and reset your fall distance. Obviously you don't have to spam it all the way down, but if you time it right instead of spamming you can stop yourself from taking any fall damage just mere feet from the ground.

    Add a Two-Handed Sword to Ark

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 03:03 PM PDT

    Despite the incredible power of Tek Tier, I've always felt that early game combat of Ark was the most enjoyable. Crossbows with grappling hooks, flare guns, smoke grenades, and ballistas are some of my favorite items.

    But I've always felt Ark was somewhat lacking in the diversity of melee weapons available. We really have the sword, the pike, and thats it. I would be really awesome to add a two handed sword into the game. If I'm going into full wish fulfillment, both swords are given the ability to thrust as their "Ctrl" attack. Granted this would require additional character animations, but given all the animations they've added into the game, I can't imagine it would be difficult to have a person swing their arms from side to side.

    Rock Elemental Biology

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 10:33 PM PDT

    So homo deus can do some ridiculous things that's been established but how did they make living rocks? Yes none of the creatures you meet are natural but at least they're organic and if you dissected a wyvern or velonosaurus you'd find organs and meat and the tek drones and enforcers are just incredibly advanced machines which is easily within the scope of homo deus and future humans but actual living rocks still seems a bit too weird.

    How do I decrease the installation size of Ark?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 10:27 PM PDT

    I got a new computer and am trying to redownload the game... it is 190 gigabytes and I apparently do not have enough disk space.

    I know ark is big, but 190 gigs seems just a little excessive. Is there anything I can delete to fix this? What can I do?
