    3D Printed ARK Model that my very talented friend created and painted!

    Let's discuss the "cave meta" and what WC can do to fix it

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 12:13 PM PDT

    The real issue with the cave meta isnt the caves, but rather what happens when you're built outside.

    Enemies can call in unlimited titans because it takes zero effort to get the tribute and barely any effort to tame them. The forest titan has an overpowered attack allowing it to grab any dino or player from nearly out of render range, almost guaranteeing whatever it grabs gets killed. Also for some reason its allowed to grab gigas and tueso. So the logic is we have to spend 24 real life hours just to get a giga out of baby phase then 2 real life weeks imprinting every 8 hours to raise it, just to have it yoinked and instant killed by a titan that takes the enemy 2 hours?? That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

    Meks tear through spam almost as fast as it takes to place it, let alone farming/crafting it. Meks also have the giant bubbles which dont have a limit for how many can be in a certain radius and forces the enemy to have to engage the mek/fob rather than doing long range damage.

    Hatchframe quetzals are beyond broken. I dont care what anyone says, there's absolutely no reason these should still exist. You shouldn't be able wipe entire bases that took people hundreds of hours just because they didn't build to specifically counter the hatchframe quetzal. Our tribe raided a base recently with quetzals and we got 3 full dedicated storages of bullets and literally only had to soak 2 turrets.

    Owls added a source of free healing into the game. With daedon their healing was fueled by food which added significant effort to griefs. Now I dont even feed my owls. Just let it stay starving and heal with it to keep it alive. When you're done using it, cryo it and forget about it.

    Tek tapes have become the go to meta for any base that's outside. Just march some paracer at any defense then have a swarm of tek tapes melt every tek turret. Heavies are extremely hard to fill so once the tek turrets are gone essentially so is the base.

    I'm probably forgetting some but the point is there's tons of things that make living outside unfeasible. Rather than doing the lazy fix of blocking cave building the devs need to focus on what's actually causing the problem.

    My suggestions for what could fix this meta without making everyone quit from blocking caves.

    1. Increase turret limit for outside bases
    2. Increase turret damage for outside bases
    3. Decrease turret damage for caves
    4. Fix the broken choke points like island ice cave crawl choke, center north snow cave drop down and aberration shadow cave crawl choke
    5. Increase cooldown for how soon titans can be downloaded
    6. Disable titans from being transfered to maps other than extinction
    7. Make tribute harder for titans
    8. Reduce range on forest titan grab
    9. Disable forest titan from grabbing gigas and tueso
    10. Change forest titan to only be able to grab 1 tame at a time
    11. Reduce mek shield size
    12. Allow tek to damage mek shield
    13. Only allow 1 mek shield in a certain radius
    14. Nerf mek damage
    15. Disable hatchframes from being placed on platform dinos
    16. Owls can only heal when they're not at 0 food
    17. Make turrets prioritize fliers over soakers
    18. Increase tek turret hp
    19. Reduce how much damage tek dinos do to tek turrets
    20. Make advanced rifle bullets easier to craft.

    Not saying they should do every change listed, but these are all options I think could fix the meta without ruining the game.

    The countdown definitely looks Tek inspired, wouldn't mind if the bionic console skins finally came to PC with the update. Been waiting a while for my "Tek Trike" :)

    The countdown has changed yet again.

    Ark is actually dark souls

    I don't doubt that this has been shown before, but i was bored and just started putting letters in the playark url because the countdown for the survive the ark website is /g/ but apparently in playark's website it auto fills the letters with actual URL's and found this and thought it might be funny to share :P

    What do you think of the new countdown?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 10:35 AM PDT

    Noticed this changed again a bit ago but haven't found any comments or theories on it yet, what does everyone think?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 10:32 AM PDT

    I know there was an update recently that added a roll mechanic to evade raptor pounces. Does anyone know what the button is for the PS4? I can't find it anywhere...

    The Kentrosaurus reflect damage

    Posted: 01 Aug 2019 10:59 PM PDT

    So my crew and I are doing a complete story mode of all the Arks and it's almost time for our first fight against the Alpha brood mother. We wanted to try something new to spice up the fights against the bosses so we were wondering if the Kentro Reflect damage works on bosses.

    Ark AI improvements (X-post from ARK)

    Posted: 01 Aug 2019 04:40 PM PDT

    It'd be cool if certain herbivores and carnivores had more intelligent mechanics. Maybe have a herd/pack leader that the rest follow (maybe in certain formations, like birds and their V shaped flying patterns.) Make the pack/herd leader responsible for finding food, maybe have herbivores eat from berry bushes or trees, or have carnivores seek out an area with little competition with preferred prey.

    I'd love if carnivores only hunted when hungry. To compensate have several types of dinosaurs (including herbivores!) be territorial- keep a dinosaur to one specific area that it/its herd/pack defends. maybe have herds or lone dinosaurs have territorial disputes from time to time. Maybe have some dinos give a warning growl and face you threateningly when you start to approach, and attack if you don't leave after a few seconds, or have super territorial dinosaurs that attack immediately.

    Getting dinosaurs to have a mock battle with bellowing and posturing to determine social order would be cool. Have dinosaurs make nests and raise young, and maybe have trikes form a defensive circle around their nest/young when a carnivore or human is near.

    Flyers in aberration area on valguero

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 04:05 AM PDT

    So my friend got a server and we currently want to enable flyers in the aberration area but it seems that there is no way to do so

    Does anyone know how to enable it?

    We have alredy -ForceAllowCaveFlyers active

    I make a treehouse how do I get on it?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 03:17 AM PDT

    Made a treehouse platform put it in tree but do not know how to get up there. Do not have a flying mount nor the ability to get a flying mount. Playing with no flying mounts.

    Should cave builds be banned?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 03:03 AM PDT

    Obviously not....

    Cryopods, Hatch frame quetz, meks, titans, tek tap, tek riffle...

    60 people can log into your server and pop out meks and wipe the spam in minutes. Turret towers are no match for the flood of tek taps or hatch quetz.

    The only way to protect a server is to keep 20+ 24/7. Or to DDOS whenever enemy gamers log in.

    Banning caves will throw every tribe under 50 actives to the wolves. If caves were a problem maybe you shouldn't have made them mandatory with extinction.

    Bulky Basi Counters?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2019 03:23 PM PDT

    What's the fastest way to kill a Tanky af Basilio with a good saddle? Tusos seem okay but any good strategies and countering? Ways to knock underwater riders off other than barys?

    Suggestions?

    Manticore Dermis on Island

    Posted: 01 Aug 2019 05:39 PM PDT

    Singleplayer

    So as I understand it, you can only display a boss' dermis on the map you killed it. So if I spawned in a Manticore on the Island and cheat killed it could I display the dermis?

    And for that matter I'd love to display them all on a massive TEK base on Extinction, is that possible?
