    Today I just saw someone kill my brother's, who died of cancer a few months back, tame die to an invading tribe.

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 07:10 PM PDT

    I mean, I shouldn't be upset, it is a PvP server. But at the same time, I did everything I could to keep it alive. It hurts, it does. But that's PvP for ya. This tribe was just a 6 man tribe with me, him and a few others, and we managed to stave the attackers off. But god damn, I would give up my favorite dino to bring his back. ARK was something he played even more than me, he loved the game. I really hate putting this up here on reddit, but I don't really know anywhere else to vent to. I could say it to friends or family, but it's always just "it's just a game". And while that is true, it does feel like I failed him in some way. I don't know. I just feel guilty over it all. I could have at least uploaded it to the transmitter. I d'know. Feeling pretty low right now.

    Can you use homodeus skin on Prim Plus

    Thank you Wildcard for the Deinonychus!

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 11:42 AM PDT

    I just want to give a big shout out to wildcard for finally adding a dino that doesn't completely break the game. Dinos like mana, owls, gacha and velon have all had unique abilities that vastly changed how ark functioned in a pvp environment. So it's truly refreshing to see them add a useless trash tier dino that doesn't effect the state of the game in any way. After watching the Valguero trailer I imagined they would be the raptor 2.0, but I'm please to see they're more like a raptor .03. My only complaint is that when I'm running beaver dams I lure the beavers to the deinonychus in order to lose the beaver aggro. Unfortunately the beavers slaughter the deinonychus every time and I have to lure the beavers to hyenadon instead.

    Need help with online paint templates

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 07:33 AM PDT

    I generally understand how to use them, which is creating a save file in game with a paintbrush and naming it (ex: FireArgent) then by going to a website and downloading the template you want and then renaming that template FireArgent and replacing the existing one in the MyPaintings folder.

    The problem I'm having is I don't have anything in the MyPaintings folder to replace, and just throwing in the templates doesn't cause them to appear as an option in game (just shows no saved paintings). They are saved though because I have the option saved to use "FireArgent" but it's the one that needs to be replaced by the actual template and I cant find where on my PC its saved if not the MyPaintings folder.

    I play on the steam version if that helps. Any help is much appreciated.

    If you gift the season pass to someone who doesn't have the base game, will they Receive the base game along with the DLC from the season Pass

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 11:05 AM PDT

    The friend I plan to gift ark to does not own the base game on PC, so will I need to gift the base game and season pass, or just the season pass?

    Tek Cave time! First....a group photo!

    What's the best way to play with a friend online on PC?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 08:41 AM PDT

    We just want to play only the two of us, with no interference from others. What is our best option? Buy a server with just two slots or what?

    My 1st time Tek Cave Adventure and Questions

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 08:33 AM PDT

    So my buddy(ies) and I have been going at Ark for a few months on a private PVE server. I say it like that as of the 5-6 of us who were on here (including server renter) in our various tribes, now only me and my buddy remain grinding.

    It is with great success and pleasure that I announce to you all, last night we completed the Gamma Ascension! So with that I have a brief narrative of what happened along with some questions:

    So we (2 manning here on out) went into the cave with a SMALL contingency that we were fine with losing and the intentions of just scouting out and planning the cave aspect (i.e. planned on beating the cave, but didn't bring a TON of dinos for boss fight etc.) . That is, with our own eyes figuring out the issues I heard about incl'd: getting in the door (time etc.), navigating the lava, general length/layout/timing of cave, difficulty of the cave, fighting the giga, and finally loading to the boss, boss arena itself, etc.

    The cave itself was well.. pretty easy. We killed pretty much everything using 2-3 of the rexs, occasional yuti support, our rex saddles definitely helped. My buddy and I both agreed however, with the long open layout, lots of decent level bigger dinos, it almost felt like this is how the REST (or at least more) of arks caves were meant to be: more bigger/harder dinos to kill, but also more room to fit in more tames (then again we did end up having to use dimes to hatch egg and breed rexes and allos after the opening to 2 man the ice cave [HINT: The dimes can fit right in])

    So the cave itself wasn't too bad, a few tight areas that will definitely be more cumbersome/time consuming when trying to lead through more boss dinos in the back. We ultimately finished cave aspect with 20 mins left, during which that time I sat on the portal and healed up my 2 rexes by meat lol (didn't bring a deo), so we didn't press the button till like 2 minutes left

    So everything made it through the cave (but no giga?!), and once we were in the overseer fight all I can say is MAN our ASC pumps are OP. Luckily he went Broodmother, Monkey, Dragon, and then Brood again for the last bit (2nd Dragon may have been rough). Our Yuti was a trash wild tame, idk how my buddy managed to keep it alive for so long (i did protect him quite a bit).... The Dragon killed off my 2 rexes (sent them in 1st), I had to have my buddy unclaim one of his allos for me to have to finish the fight. His Yuti died shortly after, so he had 1 rex, 1 allo and we were pump shotgunning like mad men.

    In the end we somehow BARELY made it through with 1 rex, 2 allos and completed GAMMA ASC!

    Tames we took:

    3 Rexes - 20k hp, 600% melee 120-170 armor ASC saddles

    2 allos - 15k hp, 650% melee - 100 armor ASC Saddles

    1 Scrub yuti

    2 Otters - 550% meele (lol, they lived, through the boss fight, which is good b/c I forgot to say to bring furs)

    A few pocket dinos (cryos) we PLANNED on testing but forgot

    Notable gear:

    ASC Gillie suit (250-400 armor per piece)

    ASC Flak (900-1400 armor per peice)

    ASC Pump Shotty- 660% dmg (SO OP LOL!)

    ASC Sword - 700% dmg

    We plan on doing Beta next (We have done the Beta Brood and Monkey (however we don't know where heads are will need to re-do, and will need to do the Beta Dragon; however our server is going to die soon... but I am going to get a cluster/move stuff over as we have the DLC). Obviously we plan on doing future caves with a FULL boss ready contingency. But just wanted to get these questions we didn't figure out for ourselves yet from our somehow successful dry run answered before we try for Beta and eventually Alpha:

    Questions

    1.) So entering the cave it showed a tame (50) and survivor (was it 10? or 20?) limit? I expected to see this same limit when on the portal at the end to the overseer, however it did not show any? Can someone confirm the tame limit that does exist for overseer, and it is 20 correct?

    1b.) Based upon the above: Outside the standard veggie cake advantage, I know others mentioned Theris being superior to Rexes due to ability to navigate cave easier (agreed they will be easier here) as well as fit on the portal? As far as we can tell: we finished cave with 20 mins left (plenty of time; ik it will take a bit longer if leading through more tames but whistle groups should help), it appears when you teleport to boss a green area BIGGER than the actual portal pad (and bigger than Obelisk, which can obviously fit 18 rexes) appears (i.e. it extends even to some of the bridge leading to the portal area). Can someone confirm that this entire "green dome/ bubble" that appears is the teleport area?

    1c.) Continuing from above: If we bring in MORE than allowed for boss fight to initial cave, where do we LEAVE dinos we don't want to take (i.e. the pre-boss fight healing deo, to save all the food loaded on the boss deo)? Just outside the green bubble mentioned in 1b.?

    2.) Where the HELL was the giga? Does it not always spawn? Not spawn on Gamma? Or did it just spawn in lava and die without us noticing? We planned on hopefully using grapples if need be to kite in lava, but were a little sad (mainly happy since we beat it) to not see one?

    3.) Is the "tek bubble" that divides the hot from cold area, the line that divides if you can cyro or not? (We forgot to test the cryo aspect)

    4.) Where the HELL did my gear go? I think I read this would happened (and we planned on most likely dying in boss) so took shit that was all replaceable (i.e had BPS). Our few tames that somehow made it were outside the cave where they were suppose to be, but not a bag of stuff. Am I suppose to dump my gear on a surviving tame to keep it after I ascend?

    5.) Regarding the cave timer. Due to no Deo we literally sat and chilled and healed up our dinos from like 20 minutes to 2 before hitting the portal (as I had read once you portal you are good). Luckily we hit it with 2 mins left as we did not know about the 51 second timer, then we had a MAD dash to reach the overseer door (without going far enough to tigger his spawn) as we saw the timer was still counting. Can someone confirm that AFTER you launch portal, timer doesn't matter? (This Appeared to be the case, as I saw mine go negative and nothing happened before it finally disappeared walking into door to Overseer but I didn't know if it was just cause my buddy made it on his faster yuti with more stam to save us 1st - but I just wanted to confirm). In other words, as long as you give yourself 1 minute to launch the portal and tele, does it not matter after that point if you run out of time before you get to the overseer.

    6.) How much harder is the Beta Overseer/Cave. We plan on the Beta Dragon being hard and most likely need to get more Theris up for that. But obviously once we actually take in a whole army of our tames (theri lines about equal to tek rexes, 20k and 600%) and gear does it sound like we can two man beta Cave/Overseer too?

    Hotfix needed to fix few meshing methods

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 03:59 AM PDT

    -Fix racer/quetz method by forcing grapple to break when player sits down in a chair and force kill the person that was grappled.

    -OR Remove chair / bed's ability to be placed on a platform dino. Would be better imo (least for pvp only).

    -Kangaroo cannot be picked up by crab if a player is in the pouch

    Just most used ones at the moment to public, so it would cut down on a bit of meshing. Also, a global wipe of all beds / sleeping bags / bunk beds would destroy current mesh beds people have placed. Yeah, people would need to make new beds for bases, but sacrifice for greater good imo. Just have beds make 3 for crafting 1 temporarily.

    What level dinos / difficulty do you prefer?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 10:18 AM PDT

    I'm starting a server for myself and a few friends. It will probably be Valguero, PvE, have some slightly boosted rates, and some QoL mods. Goal is to reduce the tedium while remaining a challenge. We would like to do all the caves and boss fights as we never did then when we've played before.

    I've almost always played at difficulty 5, with level 150 wild Dinos but I see that I can actually boost the difficulty up and each step increases the max wild dino level by 30.

    For those of you that have played with dinos higher level than 150, how was it? Is it fun? Does the balance get messed up? Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Game.ini Coding Drops

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 04:16 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I usually get pretty good feedback when I ask on here so here goes. I have my own personal PS4 unofficial cluster going and I have just recently started learning expert settings and coding. I've got unnatural map spawns and stack codes going. I'm just looking to add specific items to the lot pools on my island drops. Mainly items like cryopods and such. I know about BeaconApp for customizing drops quickly but I am only using my smartphone and I really didn't want to pay something to get it if I could easily learn the codes themselves.

    So if anyone could give me any sorta help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Do Rex's share spawns with any other creature on Valguero?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 06:18 AM PDT

    Looking for tek rex's, so naturally I am killing all the Rex's I can find to help respawn chances, but I am wondering if there are any other creatures I should be killing alongside them which may share the spawn chances? I am not quite sure how to find these things out :(

    Manticore bossfight, tips? Good rex stats?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 05:57 AM PDT

    We (me and my friends) have never done a bossfight before and we are planning to do the manticore bossfight soon.

    But i'm not sure what i should level on the rexes.

    We have a 70 armor rex saddle on each rex. And a the moment we have 19 100% imprinted rexes and a yuty. The rexes hatch with 7.9k hp and 320% melee (these are the stats with 0% imprint) but we don't know what we should level on it.

    So my question for you guys: what should be the stats on my rexes when they are leveled, to be good enough for the bossfight. And how should we prepare for this bossfight? Can we do gamma/beta/hard?

    RAID Discussion

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 04:39 AM PDT

    Heya lovely community, I want to get my RAID Skills to endgame, therefore i would love to know your experience about following situations/locations: (I always think about full defense, 30-50 tek turrets/ rest heavies)

    -Open Field, much space around, easily approachable by foot. -Extinction alike Skybases, not much placw to move dinos forward and backwards -Water Cave Bases with "N" form entrances. -Abberation Raids on High Platforms/Locations/Caves. -Caves with huge dropdowns where you cant get out of turret range again. -Bases with entrances too small to fit any dino except raptors or smaller inside (heavily guarded by turrets)

    What would interest me on these locations is: Which gear to bring? Which dinos to soak with? Which dinos to attack with?(water caves heavily defended with hella amount of mosas and stuff) Player Stats/Buffs i should use.

    For sure every other protip you can give about raids, is worth gold for me.

    Happy to see some good content around!

    Greetings Cubi

    Valguero kicking me to the main menu instead of loading

    Posted: 01 Jul 2019 02:51 AM PDT

    Wanted to start up the new map; but even when I try to launch the game in singleplayer, it doesn't work.

    It jumps from the menu into the loading screen like normal. Does it's loading thing, then it freezes like it's about to open up the game but instead it flashes the menu, goes back to loading, then just displays the main menu again with no error messages or anything.

    • I was playing Extinction just a second ago, so it's not ARK on the whole that is the problem.
    • I tried verifying the game cache. It said it found some files missing and redownloaded them. Still caused the aforementioned problem

    What's the issue here? I can see other people talking about Ark "loading" into the main menu but their issues are old and not related specifically to Alguero.

    The Official PvP"Small" Tribe problem

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 01:13 PM PDT

    Howdy Ladies & Gents, this post is written with the hopes of bringing some attention to some of the lesser-known issues plaguing Official Small Tribes.

    Teaming: I know people like to talk about Teaming a lot, but in all honesty the posts I've read really aren't appreciating the scope of the issue. Everyone who is Anyone knows everyone else. Every server has an Alliance Discord list, which (In a lot of cases) are in contact with other servers Discord Alliance. You have a gnats chance of getting established on a server nowadays without at least knowing one person in the Alliance Discord, I'm sure people will have an anecdotal recount of how their tribe achieved it! But it's rare. If you're not in contact, and either paying tribute, or friends with the Alliance Discord you've got a week max. I'd like to just take a moment to give the actual Small Tribes definition of Teaming, they're not simply non-aggression pacts. People are gifting lines, heavies, Arb, tekgrams you name it. It makes sense, the more friendlies you have on a server the more "coverage" you have, and thus safety. With that as you get bigger it extends past your server, to your metal server, or your ele server, or boss server you begin to expand this umbrella of connectedness.

    Meshing: Wildcard enjoys making a big display of how their fixing meshing issues, but the fact is that they simply cannot begin to approach them all. If you take anything from this post I want you to take this, Meshing is most definitely not fixed. Just this week I witnessed a pearl cave have a squid push Turtles strapped with c4 through the roof, and detonate next to their walls. On another instance, a Mek destroying Heavies through a cave wall. Giga's mesh biting. People talk about getting inside the Mesh and raiding, but that's only scratching the surface. And the saddest thing of all? Everybody that is somewhat decent knows this. They know all the methods. But it's in their interest to keep their mouths shut, why would they give away their golden ticket? Even if they get one of their fobs fucked by a squid tickling electronics, it's insignificant to the gain they get from using the method themselves. Every established tribe has at some point in their Ark time meshed, or has associated with someone who has.

    Gacha Crystals: This is the worst kept secret in Ark, everyone knows about the 300% fabby's so I don't think I need to talk about it.

    Dino Lines: This relates heavily to Alliance discords, the Dino Lines have become too insane to deal with. 55k Stegos with 120 armour saddles. 35k turtles. And that's just what I've seen this week. Nowhere is safe from these freaks. Small Tribes needs a reset, these tribes have perfect lines they're just spamming out every day and gifting to their friends. It's unsustainable.

    These are a couple, but I won't make this post too long. Appreciate you getting this far.

    Just wanted to add this after an experience tonight. The people who cheat regularly have zero fear of getting caught/banned. I've seen people bragging in chat about meshing, and still being on the server 2 weeks later. The report/banning service is a joke.

    ARK community in desperate need of Admins

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 02:43 PM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    We are a team of game servers administrators, which, unfortunately, is facing a major ADMIN lack.

    We are hosting our own 6-map ARK cluster (modded) on our own dedicated machines, based in EU. And the problem is, as i no longer can administrate the machine 24/7, we're in desperate need of active admins to help grow the community and keep the servers alive. This would mean, having 24h access to the Dedicated Machine, and aministrating the MODS/Main game files via ASM.

    If any of you guys out there (EU or NA based) are willing to help us out by investing some of your precious time, Please contact me. The requirements for this are pretty basic: 17yrs or older, Some Basic PC knowledge and willing to integrate into an active community.

    Thank you everyone, Untill next time,
    ClubSoda
