    Idea for PVE AI improvements

    Posted: 03 May 2019 08:35 AM PDT

    Nothing says old game AI like rexes, carnos, and raptors making a beeline to any noisy prey in their animal type's audio trigger or hitbox zones.

    After playing a game for as long as I have, you start to notice how minor tweaks to prey and predator behavior models could improve the immersion factor. If herd animals herded, and stalker animals stalked, and flocks flocked, and creepers creeped, and... Well, you get the point. As it is, every animal in ARK is a zombie waiting stagnant or running blindly around until it hears or touches something and then either aggros or flees.

    It would be a huge improvement to the game to see AI models for different animal groups updated so they performed behavioral models based on similar real-world animals or canon story behavioral models. Rexes should protect their territories, attacking when provoked or significantly hungry. Mammals should circle up and protect their lowest levels in the herd. Armored herbivores should band together in large cross-species groups at watering holes and defend against predators collectively. Raptors and similar should stalk unseen encircling their prey before a surprise attack.

    It's all stuff I've seen other games do, even mods for Skyrim do it, but the PVE aspect of the ark is stagnant for hunting. If hunting provided more meat from a field dressed kill than meat-runs on the back of a tame, then I'd be on the ground stalking or trapping prey in the dense jungles again. Wild animals should scatter from a ridden tame in much the same way they scatter anytime a human makes a lot of noise in the forest irl.

    I do not know anything about coding for this and it is probably not possible in the game engine for some reason. The idea of creating a complex AI will probably be deemed worthless by PVP players who like the tower defense against irl people aspect of the game and new PVE players who desperately just want to survive against zombie animals, but I would use a mod like this if it were made and would love to see it as part of the core game.

    During the Easter Event, I've discovered how broken Reaper Queen spawns really are...

    Posted: 03 May 2019 07:13 AM PDT

    In the Hall of the Reaper Queen, there are 4 main areas.

    Area 1 is the flat spot with just a cliff and a Plant Z, and it leads down into what I call "the field". There are 2 spawn points for Queens here, one is up on the rock structure to the right that has the rock spires on it, and the other is on the ground in the "coal"-like rocks at the base of this structure. These spawns seem to work decently when they're in rotation.

    Area 2 would be the path on the left, on the far side of the field if you're in Area 1. There's a sort of 'pit" halfway up the wall. Reapers spawn behind the mesh there. Additionally , this area has those glowing crystals going up the wall. Reapers will spawn behind those, too.

    Area 3 is the area in the middle of the field. In particular, I'm referring to the spawn near the red gems in the middle of the Hall (aka field). I noticed a lot of reapers spawned where the stone structure with spires meets the ground there, often times getting stuck. Occasionally this spawn will break for upwards of a day.

    Area 4 is the area directly beneath Area 1, where there is a hollow with some red gems. There is a spawn down there (possibly tied into Area 1 spawns) that sometimes gets stuck somewhere, I haven't found that location yet.

    One of the issues I've always been frustrated by with Ark is the fact that a dino can spawn behind/under the mesh and come right through. Well this issue appears to be part of this problem, the only difference is the reapers can't burrow or even pop out of the ground when they get into these glitch spots.

    How prominent is cheating on Ark without Battleye?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 07:13 AM PDT

    I have a public server with Battleye on but I have a friend who runs Ark in proton on Linux, and thus cannot play with Battleye. I'm considering my options and want to know if anyone has experiences with cheating with Battleye and how often do any of you experience it. Thanks!

    Just bad luck with breeding theris?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 09:52 AM PDT

    I got a good base pair with 33health and 37 attack, since then every egg that mutates always seems to go to oxygen which is the lowest stat at 26 or food.

    Am I just having bad luck or should I fill up that oxygen stat for better shot at melee/health mutation?

    With default "single player settings" how long does a wyvern take to grow?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 06:28 AM PDT

    I just want to know how many I'll need to K/O and if the time is always the same (I think so) or depending on level (only think it might be different due to being a unique tame) also is there any setting to allow wyvern milk in fridge?

    Edit 1: Single player setting has changed a lot of setting by default, breeding for example I can fully breed a rex in 1 game session (couple hours)

    Edit 2 thanks to dododex +being told single player settings it says around 46mins 40seconds I'll do some actual testing myself in-game when I get home but thanks for the help

    Quetzal Taming - Quetzal on Quetzal?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 10:47 PM PDT

    So is it still possible to build a trap box on one Quetzal to tame another Quetzal? I'm playing solo and want to shoot for my first high level quetzal using the lvl 5 one I tamed. Hoping this method still works and is viable solo

    Dedicated ARK settings question.

    Posted: 02 May 2019 05:12 PM PDT

    I'm running a dedicated remote-hosted ARK server for my friends and I. There's a particular mod I found on the workshop that extends foundation-required elements (ceilings for example) more than 2 spaces away (this mod allowed to build up to 16 spaces away from a foundation). Unfortunately, the mod doesn't seem to affect the CKF buildable structures.

    Is anyone aware of any server side value that I could alter to get a similar result? Meaning, a setting in the game.ini or gameusersettings.ini that could increase the foundation-required limit to something higher than 2?

    I've also heard that it was possible to set ceilings to act similar to foundations, is this possible with a server side setting or would this require a mod to actually alter the ceiling object and flip the "foundation" bit or something?

    Wyvern TLC Idea

    Posted: 02 May 2019 05:10 PM PDT

    All

    • Divebomb/glide mechanic like the griffin and snow owl.
    • Breath mode that adds crosshairs and makes your melee attack a breath attack instead (think the velonasaur's machine gun mode).
    • Breath attacks cost oxygen rather than stamina. Lowering oxygen to 0 through this means causes instant drowning upon entering water and an increased stamina cost for flying.
    • Can now swim in water.

    Fire

    • Tanky
    • Close ranged breath attack. Hold to fire a continuous stream.
    • Fire breath lights the environment on fire for a brief period of time. Things lit on fire have their damage resistance lowered while taking DOT.
    • Immune to fire and lava.
    • Grants rider increased hypothermal insulation.

    Poison

    • Squishy
    • Long ranged breath attack.
    • Poison breath creates a long lasting toxic cloud that slows and causes things within to drown (after depleting oxygen).
    • Immune to poison damage and resistant to torpor.
    • Increased swim speed.

    Lightning

    • Medium tankiness
    • Medium ranged breath attack. Hold to fire a continuous stream.
    • Lightning breath travels between enemies that are close together and deals a small amount of torpor.
    • Immune to lightning and shocking tranq darts.

    Frost

    • Medium tankiness
    • Short ranged breath attack. Hold to fire continuous stream.
    • Frost breath lowers stamina and food. Can be used underwater at an increased oxygen cost.
    • Grants rider increased hyperthermal insulation.

    World Turtle Costume

    Posted: 02 May 2019 03:31 PM PDT

    A costume for the Carbonemys. This costume as the name implies would make the turtle resemble the World Turtle. I can see this being done in several ways.

    One way this could be done is by having various plants growing on the turtles back, along with soil, rocks and a small puddle (Mini lake). You can also have moss and such growing on the turtles neck and legs. When the saddle is used on the turtle it will not appear, but you'll still beable to ride it.

    Another way this could be done is by having the turtle's back become a small forest or even a recreation of a Ark like The Island with it being supported on the turtle's back by several Mammoths. I think that the saddle can be used on this version with no problem.
