    expectation vs reality

    Posted: 26 Feb 2020 03:03 PM PST

    Things that need to be added/fixed in Genesis (and things that should have been but will never see the light of day).

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 09:03 AM PST

    Flyers: If you can't ride flyers, they shouldn't even be on the map. Otherwise, WC is just advertising something that isn't for sale. Also, they shouldn't have added a new flyer (Astrocetus) if they don't want you flying anything else. Additionally, if they always intended for no flyers (which I think its either a bug or a last minute decision, which just shows how poorly thought out this map is), they need something to substitute for them. Most maps you just use an Argent to pick up things like Ankylos. Meanwhile Aberration doesn't have flyers, which is great, I love Aberration; but, it has the Karkinos which can carry two smaller dinos.

    Bloodstalkers: It takes 1,034 blood packs to tame a single level 150 Bloodstalker. Who has the time or patience to make that many blood packs and then wait for like 5 minutes doing nothing while the Bloodstalker holds you in place and eats them all? Otherwise, the Bloodstalker is easily one of my favorite creatures (if not my absolute favorite).

    Missions and no build zones: They should have either made the map bigger, or re-thunk how missions are done, cause there's so much of the map that can't be built on.

    Teleportation: Super buggy. Some times it takes your dinos, sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes, it takes your dino but then loses it in between destinations for it to never be seen again. Additionally, they should have had some sort of item that can add a specific spawn point, so you can teleport directly to your base.

    Biomes: The biomes are all really cool... easily some of my favorite biomes in the game. However, not being able to travel between them normally is kind of annoying. They should have used a similar technique to the domes on Extinction. I would have liked to see some kind of central hub area that looks like some kind of digital void (similar to what you see while teleporting) with massive gates leading to each biome. So Each biome would have one of these gates that you can just walk through without any loading, and then stroll on into another biome.

    More new tames: All the new creatures are really nice, but for the most part, they're kinda hard to tame (haven't tamed a Ferox yet, so I don't know how that is). There needs to be more early game tames aside from the same old creatures we've had since the island. I enjoy working toward a really good tame, but I'd like something new to tide me over while work for it. Aberration kinda did this, but only with Ravagers, and shoulder mounts. Everything else required a good amount of work to get. Meanwhile Extinction had good amount of really cool things that are fairly easy to tame for the most part, but the only complicated tames were the titans which aren't permanent.

    Bloodstalkers not affected by taming multipliers

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 08:08 AM PST

    Basically the title... ran a couple tests and the Bloodstalkers are not affected by taming multipliers like those used by unofficial server (you can verify this yourself in singleplayer).

    Wish Wildcard had tested some of the new creatures they launched... because they have some really cool functionalities but with shit that's this obvious going wrong... it's hard to wrap your head around.
    And while Official players may be fine with having to die almost 60 times (1000 / (400.1hp/25 per bag)) to get their thousand bloodbags for a 150 Bloodstalker, a lot of us are not.

    Random question but when random people in your server, tell you that they lost something and are wanting a replacement but you cannot verify, what do you do?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 08:07 AM PST

    I've had it a couple times and they'll say it despawned.

    I'm naturally cynical but this being ARK and having my dino's glitch under map, or teleport 100 miles from where I left them, I usually give people the benefit of the doubt but where do you draw the line? do you just keep giving them replacements or just tell em its a one time thing.

    Deinonychus saddle engram removed?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 10:22 AM PST

    Hey hey,

    does anyone else miss the Deino saddle engram? I tested on our dedicated modded servers, a dedicated vanilla server and single player, different maps including Valguero but I cannot learn the negram anywhere. You can still spawn the saddle in aswell as blueprints, but the basic engram is missing. Anyone else got that problem?

    Please give us Genesis patch notes

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 09:21 AM PST

    /u/wildcardced

    We only got patch notes for the two hotfixes after Genesis release.

    But we didn't get patch notes for v306 (Genesis initial release). Usually there is a lot of bug fixes and changes when a DLC is released, not mentioning the new features of course.

    Will we get these patch notes please ?

    UPDATE : Community Manager tweeted this less than 1 hour ago :

    Patch notes going from pre-gen to post-gen are going to be impossible

    Source : https://twitter.com/ComplexMinded/status/1233117018036957184

    Listing what changed (in non-genesis content) from pre-launch to post-launch isn't possible at this point.

    Weapon damage percentage bug

    Blueprint bows currently doing basic, 100% damage?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 10:43 AM PST

    For context, on my server we play with quite high crafting skill, and any crafted bows and crossbows are doing normal damage, as if the bow was a 100% damage bow. Guns work correctly, they do in fact do enhanced damage. Happening since genesis update, is it just me? Can't find much on google

    Practical Uses of new items?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 05:08 AM PST

    Okay I've tested just about all the new items and dinos quite thoroughly, and I'm having some trouble theory crafting uses for some of the new gear. I'd like your guys opinions;

    Hover Skiff seems mostly useless, except maybe as a mobile trough carrier for large bases.

    The tek alarm system is just too complex for me to figure out. I know some of you guys are gonna come up with creative uses for it though.

    The astro cetus "platform" tek saddle can only hold two foundations, and cant even block in the rider. Maybe you could keep a bed and a small box on it, but that's about it.

    The giant turtle seems 100% useless, vanity only.

    The tek jump pad maintains forward momentum so using it as an elevator is entirely not possible, unless your ceiling hole is huge. Even activating it while standing on it then jumping, it still pushes you forward a bit for some reason.

    The magmasaur seems slower than a basic stone forge when smelting. Still usable as a turret I guess, maybe for base defense, hopefully definitely for raiding.

    The grenade launcher is kinda dumb in execution, though very cool in theory.

    Fishing nets are the dumbest item ever added to the game. They break after one fish is caught. Entirely worthless.

    Please let me hear your guys opinions on some creative potential uses for these items and creature abilities, because I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not to actually ever buy this dlc to play on official. Right now I'm just testing on singleplayer.

    Make frogs counter the swarm

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 12:04 PM PST

    Frogs should be the natural enemy of the swarm and have a high damage multiplier against them. In addition harvesting the corpses with a frog should give cp at a rate of 3-5 ants per swarm since each swarm has thousands of hp.

    Some of my items have a "interdiction" icon over them?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 09:55 AM PST

    https://i.imgur.com/jvvV6e8.png

    I'm currently in Ragnarok server, and since today, there's a bunch of items that has that icon in the corner... dunno whatsup with them... they still works... flares has them, tek stairs & ramps, plain oil has it too, noticed a bunch of skins too... (skeleton Quetzal skin i remember has it).

    Anyone knows whats up? Like I said they still works, flares lights up and works like they always did,i can still place the tek stairs, I can still harvest oil and convert it to gasoline.... so i dunno what those icons means.

    I'm, dare I say it, having fun...?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2020 11:53 PM PST

    Disclaimer: I'm not saying people shouldn't complain, and this is purely my anecdotal, subjective experience. People have every right to make critique threads.

    ...Just like I also have every right to give my own two cents and say how much I've been enjoying myself so far. The bugs are annoying, sure (both the creature and the technical types). But I can't help but feel there should be a big difference between genuine criticism of the game versus kneejerk reactions.

    "The insect swarms on the bog biome are annoying, what's the best way to deal with them/can we get a nerf on their spawn rates/behavior patterns/etc...?"

    versus

    "Whoever made the bug swarms is literally Hitler and literally should literally be literally fired from their job. Literally."

    Like I said, I'm not saying Wild Card is immune to criticism but...come on guys.

    "Genesis represents a new, story-oriented beginning in ARK’s epic saga of survival" -- How does this reflect ingame?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:54 AM PST

    I've been wondering if I should buy the new DLC, since I'm a PvE player and I enjoy story stuff. Ark just got boring after a while due there not being much of things to do with a couple of friends.

    I've been trying to look up info, but so far my google-fu is lacking. What kind of PvE story driven content does Genesis actually contain?

    Questions for Singleplayers on your opinions about this game's maps?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:18 AM PST

    I got this game for Christmas, wanted it since Neebs Gaming started playing it. Haven't been able to put it down since. I play singleplayer, am still on the Island, currently building my Therizinosaur army for the dragon, and am having a blast. I play singleplayer because I am not very trusting of other online players, so PVE didn't sound like much fun, and PVP is something I want to avoid altogether (competition and I do NOT mix well). I am looking forward to moving on from the Island and into SE, but I am curious about all of your guys' opinions on the maps in terms of singleplayer.

    The Island: Being the first map of the game, it doesn't seem that bad. It does have flaws, of course, but nothing is perfect. Finding metal is not very hard, but my choice of base locations have not been good, especially my Theri base as it is right next to the Red Obelisk, as far away from metal sources as you can get without being in the ocean. So what's your opinion on The Island?

    Scorched Earth: Having grown up in the desert most of my life, I am looking forward to getting onto this map. The lack of water will be a challenge, but I plan on building a base next to a vein or small lake/pond. Plus I'd rather take on Deathworms than be swarmed by a bunch of Electrophorous and Alpha Water Dwellers. The only thing about this map that I am not looking forward to is the boss warp glitch. Apparently trying to get to the boss arena on SE on Singleplayer on console is difficult as you don't always spawn there. Is this glitch still a thing, or has it been patched yet? I'm betting on not patched. So what is your opinion of Scorched Earth?

    Abberation: This map I am both looking forward to and dreading at the same time. The no-flyers thing sounds like getting around is going to be hell, but sounds like an interesting challenge as well. The Nameless mechanic sounds annoying, but do they appear anywhere on the map, or only at certain locations? And the Surface. Time limits are not something I like and I am not a fan of how dark night-time is in this game, so knowing that the Surface is only safe at night, I am really not looking forward to that. Charge light, radiation, abberant creatures, and other things are worrying me, but I'm not going to reach Abberation for a while. So I have time to learn more about it. So what's your guys' opinion of Abberation?

    Extinction: I'm tempted to go here right now and learn the Unstable Element engram, otherwise I have a useless stack of Element Dust on The Island right now. But this map in general is 50/50 for me. The corrupt creatures are worrying me, and Element Nodes and Orbital Supply Drops being a sort of timed Tower Defense do not sound fun for a solo player. I am looking forward to raising Gachas, but knowing they can't give you anything above Apprentice quality makes me upset. The map sounds like a fun challenge, but what's your opinion of it?

    Bonus Maps: The non-storyline maps, The Center, Ragnarok, and Valguero, sound like fun, but I don't really want to play on those. Especially Valguero and how it has "dead zones" where the amount of resources loading at once can cause your game to crash. I might play them if I had other people to play with on them, but I don't want to join a public server. I'd rather play on a private, friendly one-tribe server, something like Neebs Gaming does. But I want to know, how fun are these maps solo? Are they worth playing on Singleplayer?

    That's all I wanted to say. Just a curious guy wanting to know more about how these maps are for a solo player. Thanks for checking this post out.

    I've got 19 Rex's all with base 25k hp and 813 melee (working on 31k 1002)

    Every rex is stated with about 65k hp and 1200 - 1250 melee. I cant get a good saddle to save my life so they all have RM 36 armor saddles. I ride a Yuty with an asc saddle. Im also solo, I've been able to do Beta with ease. Do you guys think these stats would be able to beat Alpha Manticore?
