    ARK: Survival Evolved Can we please keep Valguero a titan free map


    Can we please keep Valguero a titan free map

    Posted: 14 Jul 2019 03:37 AM PDT

    Nothing has unbalanced the game more than titans imo... Was always hard to defend now people get damn kaijus to fight you with. Guarantee as soon as transfers open up and people stat dropping titans the servers populations will rapidly drop killing the new map for so many tribes. (Would also say no manas too but I know many wouldn't agree with that)...

    Dear Enforcement Team

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 01:51 PM PDT

    So just about 24 hours ago my tribe Chem B got devwiped on our extinction server NA-PVP-Official-Extinction448.

    The reason for our devwipe was because of a meshbase as it states in our tribelog.https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/zTGrn3oStJ5dAiX909RFtSRgBeaYrlxoNmI9rUckTvk/https/i.gyazo.com/thumb/1200/d9dc6f2b0ab8b0aebcbf593849393887-png.jpg

    The basespot was a tricky spot which was in the city biome just by sanctuary East. To get into this spot you had to use a zipline but you could clearly get into this spot very easily and could see straight in. After we had discovered this location we messaged a developer to make sure we could build there.https://i.gyazo.com/thumb/1200/ac1ab4f3d3a08269041ef5919bb61f54-png.jpg

    As the developer states the spot was fair to build in but could get patched in the future with it getting reports on being too strong of a spot, which we were okay with.

    This is how you would get into this spothttps://gyazo.com/c35bd9ee7fd96aade6dde4795b3254c5You would place the zipline so you could ride it and would get across the hole, as you can see in this next screenshot you can clearly see that its just a cramped hole and not everyone would think of it as the meshhttps://gyazo.com/3db6f886d2e8a4ee54b0d734435b50dfI do agree that this spot should not be there since it is very strong if it is allowed, but dont ban people for building there. Do the right thing of patching it up and rather warn the people that build in these kinds of spots.

    Here is a screenshot of showing somewhat where it is locatedhttps://gyazo.com/9064f40a7dc9517e0470d15cce119b73

    We had a game tester playing in our tribe aswell which talked to the enforcement team after the incident where they explained we had a mantis 3 layers into the mesh somewhere on the map which they later on picked up on our basespot. I heard with the guy that threw down the mantis and his reason was. He was on a managarmr and accidentaly went under the mesh (which we all know is possible in this game since its nowhere near flawless) and he threw down a mantis to store all the gear he had on him, not that i understood why he would do that since he would not be able to get it back either way.

    As the enforcement team picked up on our so called mesh base and devwiped us alot of our members got globally banned. People were porting over to go have a look and as soon as they transferred they got globally banned. Around 10-15 people got banned for this with multiple accounts, even the game tester got banned.

    As im fine with the punishment of getting devwiped even though another developer stated it was basically fine for now, i do not think its fair to globally ban people that pretty much had nothing to with this. The guy that literally built the base did not get globally banned but the people that didnt even know about it did? This just shows how lazy and inaccurate the enforcement team is with their punishment.

    History of Chem B for the people that have known about us is not very positive atleast on legacy. We did alot on legacy servers but who did not. On new official server we did get dino devwiped for stacking brontos in our cave entrances about 1 and a half year ago (lost track of time). We also got into an issue about a year ago similar to this one with our mesh base. We had an unknown small turret base in what most people refer to as "tree fob" on abberation. The tribe we were attacking did not even know about this spot but reported us for meshing because we were soaking one of their teleporters and it ran out element in their generator mid soak. The tree fob got few minutes after devwiped because the enforcement team yet again got lazy and thought it was outside the map, when it was only next to the world border. A dev later on rolled back the server because he saw himself we did nothing wrong.

    I know im rambling alot but i would really like it if my tribemembers would be left out of this and got unbanned. This was wrongfully justified and should be more thought about when your game costs about 60$ and bans all these account with thousands of hours put into. How about you seek the ones actually working on destroying your game by going under map to destroy others bases or spin your helmets faster than a fidget spinner.

    EDIT:
    Extinction have had lots of unfair base locations where you could literally walk into the mesh. Lots of tribes built up in these locations and their punishment was simple, shown in this screenshot.
    https://i.gyazo.com/thumb/1200/35bdb5cd928604a7518d141352e41854-png.jpg
    This is how it should have went with our incident.

    Kibble, the seemingly impossible item to make that everyone else seems to have.

    Posted: 14 Jul 2019 09:02 AM PDT

    EDIT** Figured it out thanks to you awesome people! The steps below worked. Thank you for ending my frustration!!

    I'm really struggling here and I could really use some help. I'm a new player on the hunt to make kibble. I've searched (probably incorrectly) for a few hours over the past few days to find how to make kibble and I've had no luck. I've collected everything that each youtube video or wiki tutorial has told me is an ingredient for dodo egg kibble or basic kibble, and for some reason I only seem to get "Orange Coloring" in the cooking pot, if I get anything at all. Am I doing something wrong here?

    Step 1: Make Cooking Pot

    Step 2: Put ingredients(dodo egg, 5 mejo, 10 amar, 10 tinto, 1 cooked meat, 5 fiber, 1 full waterskin) and fuel source(wood) into Cooking Pot with no prior recipe or anything

    Step 3: Light fire

    Step 4: Kibble!

    Orange Coloring appears and some ingredients are consumed... but where is the kibble? I greatly appreciate any help. I'm playing an official server, PVE, v297.64, map is TheIsland. Thanks!!

    Use something better than a waterskin because it takes 1 full waterskin per kibble.

    Cave gear?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2019 09:48 AM PDT

    I'm gonna try to explore the spider cave on valguero. I tried to use a max level saber but he can't even survive one swarm of dragonflies lol so I guess I want to do the stealth bug repellant approach on foot.

    I'm wondering what gear you guys suggest for this? Here's what I was thinking:

    2 gas masks, 5 bug repellant, 15 stimulant, food and water, flak armor with glider, 15 grapple hooks, a sword, and a shield.

    I'm not sure which type of gun to bring? Or a flamethrower or maybe rocket launcher or chainsaw? Idk I want to be able to safely kill a few snakes and spiders and centipedes for when they are blocking the path. Any other suggested items to bring?

    Can anyone tell me why the frame rate goes to around 40-50fps when I ride on the Deinonychus?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2019 08:38 AM PDT

    It's even dropped below towards 30 when there's other things going on. I usually average between 70-80 in higher traffic areas so I don't know why it's dropped so low

    Optimizing Single Player Settings

    Posted: 14 Jul 2019 04:47 AM PDT

    My girlfriend and I are playing on the default single player settings and will likely want to increase the dino levels to 150 soon and amend the taming speeds to be similar to how they are now going forwards, while keeping most other things constant.

    From digging around I believe the single player checkbox does the following:

    DifficultyOffset=0.200000

    XPMultiplier=2.000000

    TamingSpeedMultiplier=2.50000

    ServerCrosshair=True

    ShowMapPlayerLocation=True

    EnablePvPGamma=True

    AllowFlyerCarryPvE=True

    To make the changes I want implement, I believe the only changes I have to make is maxing the difficulty slider, checking maximum difficulty and increasing the taming slider to 3/4 so it will actually be 7.5/10 due to the single player settings (so hopefully a lv 150 will tame at the same rate as the current highest level (30?)). Can anyone confirm this is correct or is there something I am missing?

    The story of how my Spino almost died to a Rock Drake Swarm (already posted on r/ARK, but i thought it would be good to post it here)

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 06:10 PM PDT

    So, there i was, going down at the radioactive zone for the first time after my server added the rock drakes at Valguero. I was going there with the sole purpose of getting the eggs. I was equipped with a simple crossbow with grappling hooks and a hazmat suit, and i was taking a high charge Bulbdog and my high lvl Aberrant Spino. I kept going down further and further, in the way fighting crabs, seekers and whatever I've seen in my way that could interfere with my plans. By the time I've got to the eggs (2 lvl 85 but it was the best i was able to find and I'll only hatch one to get a higher lvl one) my Spino was at half of her life, and I've decided to grab those eggs, btw one was at one side of the trench and the other was at the opposite side. When i grabbed the first one nothing happened, but after 30 seconds a rock drake came to me, and i just simply killed it. But, the problem starts when i decided to get the second egg, because after i turned around and was getting off, I've heard a glide sound and the next thing i saw three rock drakes were attacking the back of my spino. I thought: meh, I'll just kill those and nothing will happen. Boi i was WRONG. Right when i started attacking the 3 first drakes 5 more drakes got down there and started attacking my Spino, and i could only watch in horror as her life was getting really low really quickly. In this moment, i got REALLY SCARED, and it was not the kind of irrational fear, but rather the logical one, i knew that my Spino was gonna die at that moment, but, in a last effort, i started to run, the life of my Spino was between 10-20% of it's maximum, and i was really desperate, but i needed to do it,or else i was going to lose the hazmat suit and my Spino, not even mentioning the eggs. And the rock drakes were on my tail, trying to kill me at all costs while i was trying to go to the way out, but I've got to a dead end, and in that moment, i only said, "I'm sooo fucking dead dude", but all of sudden, only 1 drake was able to hit my Spino, then i got it, the dead end was literally preventing the other drakes from getting to my spino, and in amusement, I've started to hit them with all i got, and boi, it was a close one, but one by one i Killed them all. Still scared af, i started to force-feed my Spino as fast as i could, without thinking twice, and i did it for 2 minutes straight, until she was at half of her life again, then, i just runned away from that fucking cursed place as fast as i could. When i got out of the radiation zone, i relaxed and finally understood what happened, I've survived what should be my Spino's death!!! I've survived a swarm of Rock Drakes!!! And my dude, it felt sooo good to get outta there. Like, it was really satisfying to look back inside and see what I've been through and understand that, I've made it. Anyways, after this i just got to my base and chilled out while the egg was incubated, and now I'll just go back there to get nameless venom to the lil drake.

    I've just needed to tell this to somebody.

    If u read the whole thing, then thank you, you're breathtaking 😊

    Small tribes vs Official

    Posted: 14 Jul 2019 02:18 AM PDT

    Ok so I've been playing small tribes for a little more than a year now and have a level 100 character with a decent base and tribemates. Originally I came from a level 84 character on legacy but took a break when the servers became unpopular.

    I have been recently looking at official videos and the pvp looks so cool https://youtu.be/m7jYhbPehUA

    I'm not sure if these are what pvp is REALLY like though and would like someone who plays official to decide whether to stay on small tribe or to switch over.

    How easy is it to get into a good tribe? Is the pvp fun or does it get boring after a while?

    Any Good Ascension Mods?

    I'm doing a playthrough on Ragnarok, which (as far as I know) doesn't have ascension. However I've noticed that some S+ tek structures require level 135 to use. Does anyone know if there's a way around this, and mods or anything else to use? Thanks in advance!

    Gunna say this again so new players understand.

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 06:02 PM PDT

    This game is not only about taming dinos and building bases. You do that you are going to get wiped and waste your time.

    This is a very social game and unless you talk with people a lot you're in for a hard time and will probably quit out of frustration.

    There are a lot of ways to do things in this game but only a few ways to be efficient.

    If you dont do it THE efficient way, the game feels like a grind and you never get anywhere. Even without getting attacked.

    3 Years Ago I Was Saying Ark is Excessive, but This is Just Inhumane.

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 03:28 PM PDT

    A cool idea for New Ark Servers

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 08:34 PM PDT

    I was thinking earlier about some of the main problems I have with Ark. One of them is that you can play for days or even weeks straight but a tribe established for months can probably wipe you with ease. Some survival games have server wipes, but for games like Ark where you are rewarded for investing large amounts of time, wipes simply aren't fair to people who want to actually progress. So there's this problem where the little guy can't really start up because he always gets squashed by the big guy. But the big guy (alpha tribes generally) are usually very hard to raid (and rightfully so) because of the sheer time and commitment they put in, and it wouldn't be fair if they were easy to surpass.

    I had an idea, maybe someone's had it before, of a concept called "Rolling Shards"

    Essentially, you'd have servers that will last for 6 months, and then wipe clean. If Wildcard only did this, there would be huge problems. There would be very little reason to play in the final months because not only are other tribes far ahead of you but your progress would also be soon getting wiped by the server itself. Instead, at the halfway point of the 6 month life span server, new servers come out.

    It would look something like this

    Jan 1, 2020 - Servers 1-5 are released all on the same shard (you can transfer between them)

    March 1, 2020 - Servers 6-10 are released on the same shard

    June 1, 2020 - Servers 1-5 are wiped and are re-released

    September 1, 2020 - Servers 6-10 are wiped and are re-released

    December 1, 2020 - Servers 1-5 are wiped and re-released

    (continued)

    The time intervals are all arbitrary and so are the number of shard groups. In the above example you only have two shard groups of 5 serves each, Servers 1-5 released on Jan 1 and Servers 6-10 released on March 1. Hypothetically you could have 6 shard groups with 10 servers in them each if you wanted to, as long as there's always a "fresh" server available at the half life point of another server.

    This has the following benefits:

    1. It gives players the choice of going to a server where the other tribes are established, or they can start up earlier in a servers life span.
    2. No alpha can ever dominate a server forever, yet they are still given long periods of time to develop things like bases across multiple servers on the same shard group, dino lines, good bps, etc.
    3. Players get to more frequently experience the "rush" phase that beginning of a server when there is no dominant tribe and a large struggle for power. This experience is rare to official only players.
    4. Shard Groups prevent an alpha from transferring to a relatively newly released server and taking control before anyone has a chance to contest them.

    This has the downsides of:

    1. Fragmenting the community in terms of population
    2. Essentially being dev wiped every 6 months even if you are the alpha.
    3. Servers will tend to lose population after the 3 month mark when the server will be an "old" server and may be somewhat avoided due to the fact that there is likely an established tribe.

    Side Note: As someone who has been both the small guy trying to build up and being crushed by an alpha, and also an alpha turning ARK into a chore, I think some people in my tribe including me would in some ways appreciate a 6 month time limit on the server before it's reset. Instead of waiting until you inevitably get raided you can try to last all 6 months instead. I knew when I was in an alpha I felt obligated to keep logging into honor mine and my tribe mates previous time commitments and I feel like the server coming to an end and wiping before restarting may be better closure than the vast majority of players get when their bases are destroyed.

    There are most likely benefits and downsides that I can' think of but this was just a thought that passed through my head today and I kind of just wanted to get it down and see what other people thought.
