    Summer Event: Perfection! Great job, Wildcard!

    Posted: 08 Jul 2019 12:13 PM PDT

    Credit where credit is due!

    You guys nailed the summer event.

    You added cool new cosmetics that were highly customizable, you made fun temporary items via randomly generated candies, and best of all "cooked meat" was the primary currency to buy all of this stuff, meaning that summertime grilling was the best way to earn all of those items -- which is 100% perfectly thematic.

    Great job!

    This was a very well designed mini-holiday. Kudos!

    Approaching Wild Raptors knock you off tames before attacking.

    Posted: 09 Jul 2019 01:46 AM PDT

    On the Aberration map, I noticed that Wild Aberration Raptors would knock me off my tames with their basic bite. Testing the mechanic out, I saw that they would execute the basic bite attack, which will knock me off my tame...and ONLY THEN after I'm stunned does the Raptor execute the pounce attack. I'll update this in a bit if it turns out that Rag Raptors do this also.

    The tames I've ridden to test this:
    -Aberrant Raptor
    -TEK Raptor
    -Sabertooth
    -Aberrant Direbear
    -Ravager
    -Thorny Dragon
    -Gigantopithecus

    ARK Valgeruo boss battle

    Posted: 09 Jul 2019 07:54 AM PDT

    framerate minimum?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2019 06:20 AM PDT

    does anyone know what this is? this is found in engine.ini

    [/script/shootergame.shooterengine] bFirstRun=False FrameRateCap=200 FrameRateMinimum=200 

    is it really setting a minimum fps of 200? is that why ark keeps fps going higher and higher?

    ark causing WHEA crashes

    Posted: 09 Jul 2019 05:08 AM PDT

    I have been playing ark for quite a loooong while and so far there's no issue.

    recently I upgraded my ram to 16gb and now I get random WHEA crashes when I run ark

    I usually play ark with firefox on youtube on 1 side, and sometimes even booting up a quick 2nd game to play. no issue anyhow

    any idea what to tweak? the rams passed memtest86. everything is working fine.

    gtx 1050ti is about 2 years old now, I suspect its time is coming but I want to consider other issues before getting a new one. I ever did burn out 1 gpu playing ark before, so gpu's failing is not out of the question. I'm also have the infamous d3d error.

    I DDU'd the gpu driver and things seems to go way better now. crashed just once when loading a high structure density area while running youtube in the back. temperatures are ok I guess the load went too high?

    RIP my little carboneyms

    A man with the same name as me gave me this turtle at least ten years ago and he got him as a child so he lived for a good 30 years. Was a bit lethargic when I left for vacation and when my aunt gave him more water it must have been too cold as it sent him into shock and stopped moving.

    2x should be the new 1x

    Posted: 08 Jul 2019 02:34 PM PDT

    Anyone else think that 2x should be the new 1x? I honestly have enjoyed playing the game since the Summer event has started, I play PvP official with two guys and our base got wiped, yet was like well with 2x it won't take long to re build up again. Something that took 2 weeks to build will only take a week to rebuild on 2x. Honestly 2x base would be great because people can enjoy the game AND have a life.

    Extra Characters

    Posted: 08 Jul 2019 09:26 PM PDT

    Somehow or another I accidently created 3 player on official under my psn. Probably drinking or something who knows but is there anyway to delete the extra ones? I just tried joining a server to upload a character and spawned as a level one. Only solution to keep them in upload? Or can I get rid of them some how? Thanks in advance 😊

    Official Small Tribes Alpha Ascension Cave Strategy

    Posted: 08 Jul 2019 02:32 PM PDT

    Just wondering if anyone has any advice or tips on strategy for completing the alpha ascension cave on official small tribes server. The wiki has some information, but I am not sure how much of it is accurate (It's let me down before). Also there are youtube vids but many are older and not sure if things have changed. So if have completed and are willing to share your methods I'd appreciate any advice, as it will be a process and significant time investment to do the cave and I'd prefer to only attempt it once.

    Also some other questions:

    Wiki says you can throw cryos in the first part of the cave. Is this accurate?

    It allows seems to allude that you could throw a Giga out in the cave, but not take it into the boss fight. If this is accurate could you throw a giga or two in the beginning and use them to clear the whole way through the cave up until teleporting into the boss fight?

    I thought someone said that the timer was bugged at one point, and if you exceeded the amount of time (I think 90 minutes) you could still complete the cave and ascend? Was this a thing? Or has it been patched?

    How many survivors/tames can go into the cave? Is this the same number that can teleport to the boss fight?

    Any advice appreciated.

    With Better Communication, Now Seemed Time to Ask: What About Map Polishing/Finishing?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2019 07:00 PM PDT

    I haven't played ARK in quite some time admittedly, having finished literally every possible objective the game could throw at me and coming away satisfied. I still keep any eye on the development though, as I feel sort of invested in a game I played for so long.

    Having seen the improvements in communication (looking at you, Ced) and bugfixes/optimizations, Homestead, the egg rework, and other things long promised, I thought now might be the time to ask about something I've penned many a post about and even heard from some of the devs about, but never saw come to fruition: "finishing" some of the maps.

    Now, I'm not here to yell about the maps "not being complete, devs are cheap, rabble rabble rabble" or something like that, I'm not so petty. But there are some things that just seem incomplete, or were previously promised and then never materialized, or just seem like they SHOULD be there but aren't. I know WC has admitted to overextending themselves in the past, but these seem like things that would actually go a long way towards making ARK feel like as much as it can be.

    The major issues I see are this:

    1) Scorched Earth. This is the million-pound-deathworm in the room. Not pointing fingers or making judgements, but it's incredibly clear that Scorched Earth is about the least-important part of the plotline of ARK. Why? Because there's no actual endgame content or Tek presence. The Manticore certainly canonically serves as its boss, but we never see a control room like mentioned in the explorer notes, any record of having "beaten" it like we do with Ascension, Rockwell, or Extinction, a set of custom tekgrams, or a cutscene, which was specifically mentioned would be coming in one of the ARK Digests. Complaining about "lack of content" or "a reason to be on the map" is a different argument entirely, but there's no questioning that Scorched Earth has never felt as integrated to the story of ARK as much as it's supposed to be. Fixing this would go a long way towards making the maps seem more integral.

    2) The free DLCs. Valguero rammed this home with me: they look amazing and represent interesting new places to play, but there's nothing there I can't get elsewhere. Besides ONE dino.

    I don't know if it says worse about Scorched Earth or the Free DLC maps that one exclusive dino is usually all that sets them apart, but one exclusive dino does not a map draw make. Ragnarok is slightly better, having both the Griffon AND a set of exclusive Tek engrams that can't be gotten elsewhere (Sword, Shield, Light), but the Center has absolutely no unique content (besides, perhaps, being the closest thing to a water map the official maps have). They never got explorer notes, or custom bosses or Tekgrams, or any kind of evidence you beat them (not even a flag for the bosses, let alone something for your implant). There's no sense of "vitalness" to them.

    There was talk of releasing modding tutorials to allow people to make their own custom bosses and explorer notes, but nothing ever came of it. My personal suggestion? Whether it be through modding or officially added content, make the maps unique, but "side-stories". It's inferred that the ARKs have been sending survivors round and round in a cycle for god knows how long, so there's no reason your particular survivor took the exact same route as the main plot line. Places like The Center, Ragnarok, and Valguero could be ARKs that nobody's ever escaped from, or ones where nobody ever really realized their nature, or any other number of possibilities.

    Hell, they could be used to experiment with new types of bosses. Perhaps a server-wide raid, where a (hard to activate) vault releases a boss into the server. No limitations on dinos or building, but it can destroy structures willy-nilly and needs the server to work together to bring it down. Or (looking at you, Ragnarok), a giant cataclysm where the dinos of the map sprint for the nearest human settlements, weather ravages the map and you have to survive long enough to "ascend".

    The important thing is for there to be a sense of completion to the maps, and some sort of trophy or record, unique artifacts, an implant addition, SOMETHING to mark that you've "completed" it. It would go a long way towards making these maps feel like true official content, not just legitimized mod maps added to the main server cluster.

    Feel free to throw your thoughts in.

    How many troughs to raise 2 gigas, 2 quetz, and 2 yuti

    Posted: 08 Jul 2019 04:40 PM PDT

    Ok so I'm in a duo and I'd like to know how many troughs we'd need to fill to raise this amount of stuff and keep em alive while either of us are awake, their is a point where none of us are on for 8 hours how many regular throughs would we need to keep em alive for 8+ hours? Also just in case we get triples or twins how many throughs for 1 of each creature so we can just calculate how many we'd need in that scenario.

    Spammed Quetz on solo

    Posted: 08 Jul 2019 01:34 PM PDT

    Im a solo player on rag map, and had to do destroy all dinos to get the wild spawns back up as nothing was spawning.

    As a result I ended up with 5 wild quetzs appearing just away from my base. Now I can't fly round the map because there are clusters of quetzs everywhere.

    Has anyone else had this issue? I thought it was supposed to be one wild Quetz per map?
