| The current state of Official PVP Posted: 19 Apr 2019 08:26 AM PDT I have played since 2015 and I have witnessed several metas rising and falling. Turtles, RB cluster bus, clubs, c4 wyverns, ascendent ghillie ect. All of these metas were extremely overpowered (they were fun tho) and im glad that they have been removed. However I have noticed that removing ways to raid is the only thing wildcard does. Since the start of new servers wildcard has made questionable decisions that were not well liked in the official community. The Turret limit: I have always been a strong critic of this addition to the game as it has removed much creativity from the game. Certain build locations are just so bad that no one builds on them. 10,10 iceberg used to be a popular building location, now there is only 1 left in the entire official cluster (BLDX). SE 40,10 dessert bases used to be popular as well, their is only 1 left (SE 53 BLDX) there are no surface bases on SE aside from that 1 base, center has no surface base locations as well, Only Frost fang is built on island, the remaining carno bases have existed for many months and there aren't any more new ones built. On rag Only dessert plateaus are built there are literally no alpha plateau , alpha spiral bases on the entire official cluster. Why did these bases disappear? The turret limits awkward AOE and turret count have restrained players from building unique bases. Titans have also been a big reason as to why these bases disappear, and breeding has also out scaled the 100 turret limit. Paracers at the start of new servers when leveled could hit like 40k hp. Now tribes like NoNoNo have 33k hp base hp racers. When leveled they can have more than 130k hp. Oh and now tribes only hide in caves, even 300 player ones like Boom Boom B. Before you say that you want lag free official servers you need to realise that the only way that servers will be lag free is if their is a turret limit, tame limit (1,000) that is shared with alliances and having un allied dinos in your base against COC, and a TOTAL structure limit of max 10,000. Currently servers like island 26 have literally 200,000 structures chilling on a mountain. No sane tribe wants to have these restrictions on them builders have sacrificed their freedom to place turret towers where they want, build their base how they want. Not fair that were the only ones to gave to surrender our creative freedom for the perceived utopia of lag free servers. Surface base locations are not the only thing we lost, Brontos used to be the main soaker of legacy, now they are practically useless. When the turret limit hit their hp gain per mutation dropped 33% while paracers only lost 25%. Paracers actually get more HP per mutation, have better saddles for less, and have a hidden resistance to flame arrows, tek turrets and other forms of damage that is wayyy better than brontos. Stegos have also been extremely nerfed, you used to be able to throw c4 a great distance from the rider, their plate resistance also got gutted making them useless as soakers and very niche at blowing turrets. Their only use would be to destroy a badly built carno cave. They were also one of the few ways to raid a center ice cave moon pool. Stego dropping has also been dead for over a year now. Plantx, arguably my favorite thing in the game :( I used to have 14 dung beetles just to maintain my personal plantx forests. This buff that they just received is a bug that will be removed as they do absurd amounts of damage atm. No sane tribe would swap a heavy or a tek turret for plantx as it can be easily flame arrowed and output a lot less dps. Keep in mind that if plantx had its own turret limit (please at least 50) it would at least be used to heavily slow dick racers and dick quetzals. Dick Racers have been removed when they disabled c4 from being placed on saddles. This was a fun raiding meta as I could raid poorly built caves that have their turret walls too close to the entrance, have no velenos, have no bear traps, no railings or no bear traps. This was one of only 2 ways to raid center ice cave drop down (both ways got removed). It was also one of only 2 ways to raid abberation shadow cave (both got removed). Dick racers were also used to blow poorly built surface turret towers or if the defenders get outnumbered and dont have any dino gates left to place. Dick Mosas, literally the only way (aside from mantas) to raid easy underwater cave, a underwater center ice cave wall, Ragnarok mushroom cave. This was already a hard rad because most tribes have vacuum cube walls as spam preventing you from running their wall, and in areas with no 6x (the water area going down to shadow cave) it takes 50 c4 to blow one vacuum cube. Not only that but mosasaurs give live birth and take as long to raise as gigas. Keep in mind that their are literally no good underwater soakers as dunkleos are carnivores, can barely heal, riders get shot off frequently, and slow as a rock. Basilosaurs are the only mediocre soaker. (oh and tek turrets take 28 minutes to soak all 5,000 shards with no breaks to heal you can go do a quick game of turbo on dota 2) I really find it funny how wildcard nerfed the speed of the mosasaur AGAIN once they removed c4 from platform saddles, it really felt like they really wanted to burn dick mosas and just piss on the ashes. Dick Quetzals, some say that this was OP but I disagree as quetzals are fragile, even a year and 8 months later of breeding. This was pretty much only used against surface bases, it could only be done once the enemy has pushed your turret tower, and defenders are no where near their turret tower. You could use grapples, comp bows, homing rocket launchers (this shit blows the c4), reaper slow and mana ice beam to stop the quetzals. Mantas, these were pretty much only used against pearl caves, easy underwater, ice cave moonpool, ragnarok mushroom cave. They could only be used if the enemy did not use pillars to blow the small openings in the vacume cube turret wall. They got deleted when their movement speed got nerfed by 50% and to piss on the ashes this recent turret change snuffed all hope of them ever coming back. Pteranodons and other fliers. Congrats, with this recent turret patch you cant C-spin into crappy bases anymore, anything that travels faster than 300 cm(the length of a foundaton) a second you get instantly aimbotted. Dont even try picking riders if there is a enemy turret in range, or your gonna look like swiss cheese before you even touch the guy. Mana bombing, the only other method for raiding center ice cave and abberation shadow cave, previously you would drink a beer with your pal and he would carry a rocket launcher. If the enemy had atleast 10 velenosaurs you would probably instantly DC when they shoot you. Right now abberation shadow cave is pretty much unraidable and center ice cave. Rocket running, good luck rocket running caves in a era where turrets perform THE BEST against fast opponents. Keep in mind this was only used against caves. Tek Tapajara, for a while now it has been the main strategy for destroying turrets. You would push with like 5 racers, basically hug their turret tower and have a tapajara sit back and snipe their turrets while they are focusing racers. Now if you set your tek turrets to ignore paracers BOOM you countered the strategy. Now that turrets don't even need to aim to shoot anything traveling faster than 1 foundation a second tapajaras are pretty much useless. Wildcard has been pretty incompetant with balancing their game, they seem to want to make SOAKING the only way to raid which is stupid and not fun. With Abberation resources are infinite. Me and my tribe of 30 active players farmed 3000 stacks of metal ingots in 1 day. We can literally farm bullets faster than you can soak them, with gatchas element dust is like candy, have a few snow owls idling next to a pair of element gatchas and all you need to do is collect the dust. Most tribes have at least a dozen pairs depending on where they live and by now tribes have vaults of element shards. I absolutely hate titans, most unofficials I have looked at have them and gatchas disabled. Titans can be easily countered by keeping them on cool down so if a enemy comes they are not allowed to spawn in a titan. Groot and ice titan both have insanely strong special attacks, Forest titan can pull even brontos with its giant tentacle and it doesn't just pull 1 target but every target in a small AOE. A skilled forest titan rider can pull and kill paracers pretty much as fast as you can uncryo them. The only people that still play on official are pvpers, breeders and farmers (me). Practically every builder I met in the past 2 years has quit because the turret limit really limited how much you can do. Once you place your turret towers in the same spot as every other tribe all you can do is place spam really lol (which is not fun). Wildcard has been pretty incompetent with their balancing since the start of new servers, they want to get people out of caves but they literally nerfed every method of raiding them and have for the most part not touched titans (which literally cant touch caves aside from some water ones) and STOMP surface bases (Island 7 YSS main Carno base which existed for almost a year got wiped in 40 minutes twice). The only good nerfs I can remember from the top of my head was the trike, pachy head damage reduction nerf, paracer HP mutation nerf. Ark is a game that separates itself from the rest by allowing defenders and attackers to use creative solutions to eliminate one another, what made official great is the laize faire approach that WC Jat had used in the past. For the most part we were left alone, free to build how we want, raid how we want and the game was fun. TLDR, Wildcard has removed Dick racers, dick mosas, dick quetz, Brontos, tek tapajara, mana bombing, pteranodons and other fliers, rocket running and stegos from the raiders toolkit.

| Being constructive with the Managarmr Posted: 19 Apr 2019 06:55 AM PDT I don't usually respond to comments where I disagree with something as everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But Seeing someone who's only response to QoL changes being 'delete the managarmr' get the most upvotes, I felt the need to write up. Here's my argument: We cant delete the mana' as it's part of a package included in the DLC, anyone getting into the game who doesn't peruse forums or game news site like these will see trailers and perhaps gameplay of a cool creature and want to use it. To then find out it's been removed, that individual will feel cheated. But we don't just owe it to people we don't know, because what am I saying, since when has anyone cared about someone they don't know on the internet! We owe it to ourselves to be constructive, to provide the developers with feedback and backed up arguments, not just quick quips. If we're going to stand a chance of great content we're going to have to stand together. This doesn't mean to say we all have to agree, this is going to be democratic after all, but as the devs' are obviously trying to improve the balance with every patchnote, we should too try and improve the balance by continuing to give constructive criticism.

| Recruiting standard procedure. Posted: 19 Apr 2019 06:45 AM PDT Hi guys, I'm sorry if it souds kinda dumb but I was wondering if there is a standard platform where people post recruitment proposals. Now I use ark forums, steam forums, reddit as well as some content creators discords. Thank you for your answers. Edit: it is for Official Small Tribes. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Difficulty Override and Bosses Posted: 19 Apr 2019 08:53 AM PDT Hi guys, I've just started playing a new SP map and decided to set difficulty override to 15, making max level 450. What I wanna know is, how this affects bosses? It was my understanding that bosses are unaffected so basically, by increasing the ordinary Dino's level it would be easier. Can anyone confirm that? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 19 Apr 2019 08:49 AM PDT So ive been trying to do some element veins on Ext., but I couldnt hit some dinos, was swinging sword for like 15 second and then teleporter backwards/different position. Any idea why its happening or how I could prevent it? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 19 Apr 2019 08:48 AM PDT About to throw a 51 mek into my boss rex + yuty team. Got better mek bps, just being cheap for this run How op are they against the island bosses? How many meks are needed to beat them with no other dinos (or maybe a couple of hp tank rexes)? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 18 Apr 2019 07:15 PM PDT Give back the old W movement with the altitude adjustments and add a different color to the hit markers when only hitting with freeze and not doing dmg. I know we can already change the hit marker color because its purple when you hit corrupted creatures. [link] [comments]  | ||
| leveling up for your Reapers on Abb Posted: 19 Apr 2019 08:13 AM PDT What are yalls techniques on getting XP? I usually just go up and down the river biting spinos with my rock drake wait for them to be one shot then pull out a longneck and get the last shot but it takes soooo long main reason I hate getting pregnant even on 2x. Wondering what the community does? I've heard getting spino eggs and killing hatchlings is a good way to gain xp. [link] [comments]  | ||

| how easy is it to nab a few cryopods from extinction? Posted: 18 Apr 2019 08:01 PM PDT im planning on playing on either the island or rag, and id like to know how easy it would be to just pop onto extinction, grab some cryopods, and then leave. how easily accessible are ob/drops/anything you can download from/transfer back from? how easy is it to find/defend a supply drop that gives atleast a few cryopods? would a pack of ~10 dimorphs be enough to defend? how easy are the drops to find? would it be easier to just ask a local tribe on the server for a trade? (official pvp so idk how friendly they would be) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Gacha won't pick up pellets owls drop, picks up pellets I drop? Posted: 19 Apr 2019 03:58 AM PDT As title states I redesigned my base and ever since I can't get gacha to pick up pellets from my owls but picks up anything I drop in the same spot. They're happy and produce full quantities in their crystals and pick up things I drop but won't pick up the owl pellets dropped on their head from above them. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Preserving salt in preserving bins... Posted: 18 Apr 2019 07:43 PM PDT on console, Still can't place preserving salt in preserving bins. Just coughing up a really old one. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 18 Apr 2019 05:24 PM PDT when i first played ab, wingsuits were faster than running most of the time, even across a single inclined surface. i know theyve been nerfed since then, but havent tried them out again. how are they now? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 18 Apr 2019 04:25 PM PDT Disclaimer: No Extinction DLC, so I can't farm enforcers and the like which is how I assume people get their electronics nowadays. Just wondering if anyone knew which was the better route for gathering electronics (For Turret Farming)
