    I've fully downloaded the update, it's installed on an SSD...so why does it have to take days or hours to complete?

    TLC 3: What I hope to see.

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 11:00 AM PDT

    There are a lot of dinos that need a little love, and a big update, so I'll g'head and take a stab at it myself for funsies.

    First up to bat is....The Carno: Carno has been pretty irrelevant for a pretty long time, it has a bad case of "anything you can do I can do better" when compared to its counterparts, like the rex and allosaur. It doesn't take any more effort to knock out a rex or allosaur than it does to knock out a carno, but a carno is far inferior in every single way, to both. It has no pack abilities like the allo, it has no unique attacks that do anything (don't even talk to me about that headbutt) and it's just....there. Existing.

    Now what I feel the carno could get that would make it unique and useful is the ability to charge. Now I imagine you're immediately thinking of the rhino when I say that, which is not unfounded, but I suggest that the push is less DPS-focused and more CC focused, a sort of cross between what it does now and what the trike can do. It is known as one of, if not these fastest therapods, so why not double-down on that? Give it a rev-up speed and when it hits dinos it stuns them and if you hold the button down you can PUSH enemy dinos with you; the smaller the size-class of the dino, the faster the carno can push it. This'd allow for pretty good countering to soakers, as they attempt to move forward or stay in range of turrets, you can barrel out with your carnos and launch a "stun and push" assault with your carno squad, forcing them to reposition or deal with you if you're not letting up. Not the BEST ability, maybe, but it'd sure beat what its capable of now; which is absolutely nothing. The stun would be small, of course, just enough to give you an opening to push them a few yards back before the recovery. Naturally, this would not be a dismount, it'd just stop the dino from moving for a bit.


    Next up to bat...The bugs/arachnids Pretty much all of them, yah. Just....they need everything. they all need to be able to climb and skitter on walls/ceilings. The Mantis needs to have more than just a leap, perhaps a slight flight ability? Also, a pounce that can trap smaller dinos in its dangerous grasp and bugs are notoriously resilient to fall damage, so might as well make them immune, especially since all of them will be able to climb vertical surfaces and the like. Areneo is actually in a pretty good spot, make it look nicer, give it better animations (like any TLC) and give it the ability to climb walls/ceilings with perhaps a higher move-speed. The web ability is already pretty dangerous and I feel like we could stop there, but if you want to get a little creative with it they could allow you to make large webs that can briefly trap fliers, or maybe even trap smaller fliers indefinitely until someone uses a tool to cut them out? The Arthropluera is already good in almost every way, both visually and with its abilities, all it needs is a proper wall-climbing ability like the wild ones, why is this not already a thing? Not really much to do with it beyond that unless you wanted to make it capable of constricting around prey? That could be fun, but also tremendously annoying against wilds, so that sounds like it'd be more harmful than good. Lastly, the scorpion, utterly useless, I'm not even really sure how you could change it; allow it to grab humans and human-sized tames and stab them? Could be pretty good, but otherwise....scorpions aren't really wall climbers so you can't even give them that, there's not much to do with a scorpion than what is already there, honestly. They all need to be able to breed


    Next up to bat...Wyverns! What?! WYVERNS?! What the fuck is wrong with wyverns? Well, to be honest? A fair amount. They have their powers and perks, no doubt, but they just don't have the oomph they used to, and back when they "used to" they were overshadowed even then by the likes of the Ptera, pre-flier-nerf. The Ptera was the lord of the skies then, and the wyvern has never really had its time to shine, not really. It's flashy and cool, but aside from utility and power in some breath attacks (lightning and ice, mostly) it is relatively plain. For something that cool that can't be allowed. The Wyvern needs to mean more than it does now, so this is what I propose...

    Firstly, the wyvern needs more mobility, I'd love it if the wyvern had the ability to suddenly stop, hover, and whirl around all in the span of a second or so, allowing it to deploy a 360; it has the long-ass tail and the large, powerful wings, it should be able to pull of such a maneuver. Next, I kinda want all fliers to have this, but I want the wyvern to most-especially; diving speed. I'd love it if the wyvern could dive, but due to their size I kinda want it to be different. I'd LOVE to have a dive in which the wyvern folds in its wings against it's body and launches down like a missile, then at a time you decide it pulls up and unfurls its wings like a parachute, creating a massive blast of wind that it can ride for a long distance, perhaps allowing for a far longer speed-glide than the owl/gryphon, but requiring more build-up and height to accomplish it. As a fun thing, we could also say that if the wyvern does it close to the ground it pushes smaller critters in the direction of where the wyvern is travelling with the gust. Lastly, I want a breath weapon you can continuously stream instead of short bursts, but of course it takes a lot of stamina, and an increasing amount of stamina the longer the button is held. I think with these changes the wyvern could be a truly terrifying beast, a force to be reckoned with without changing the core of what makes a wyvern special; enhancing what the wyvern already brings to the table.


    Little changes: Things that don't need a TLC, but they have some some flaws that could be remedied.

    Thylacoleo: Great mount, climbing could be better. Allow us to climb more like a megalania, or at least move side-to-side? Hell, I'd even take a climb similar to the Dein. Otherwise this tame is damn-near perfect, just give us a little more control with the climbing to deal with Ark's wonky-ass terrain.

    Basalisk: Allow us to breed these things. I don't care they're strong. You can breed manas. Let us breed Basalisks. This is more of a "gimme" than maybe something that should happen, but I just love these damn things.

    Chalicotherium: Enable the Chalico to throw things like "Boulders" (the ammo in catapults) and cannon balls. Allow boulders to damage stone, and cannon balls to damage metal an under. It'd be cool. Don't hate, give the horse monkey some love.

    Dunkleosteosus: This big ole' fish should be able to absolutely ravage stone structures and damage metal with those enormous beak mouths.

    Galimimus: No rev-up speed and a lot more turning mobility, this thing should simply be the land ichthy, allow it to be stupidly fast and carry three people. Doesn't really need much beyond that.

    There are other dinos that needs some love, some TLC, but I can't think of anything for those dinos so I'm not even going to bother, I might edit this post if I think of something, but these are just things I've been thinking for awhile, things I'd love to see in the game. So far the TLC has been pretty great and I'm looking forward to what WildCard has in store for us.

    Wyvern raising with cryopods

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 10:51 AM PDT

    So I recently got a wyvern egg and learned that you can cryopod wyverns at any maturation level and it will reset the want care timer back to 8 hours but it saves the maturation percent. Which brings me to my question, can you just never let the timer hit 0 and get 100% imprinting without Doing any imprinting?

    Leveling Dinos

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 10:03 AM PDT

    Me and my friends just picked up Ark, we've been playing for a few days now but our mounts always seem to die fairly quickly even though we aren't actively engaging in battle with other animals, our mounts usually just end up getting attacked and killed by random wild animals. Because of this, I was wondering how dinos get XP. We want to get our mounts stronger so random wild animals don't kill them! What actions give dinos XP and what are the best ways to grind with them?

    Newbie question

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 08:53 AM PDT

    Aight I just bodied my first rex today, but not without losses. I lost 1 of 2 of my lvl 20+ trikes. My entire Dilo army of varying levels, and 1 of 2 of my lvl 20 raptors. I was pounding the rex with tranq arrows the entire time. Now my question is, how many trikes dilos, and raptors should I have on hand to eliminate a rex. No casualties, maybe Dilos but no trike nor raptor casualties. Also, should I use bullets or stick to tranq arrows. I just got my first pistol and am searching for metal on mountains for bullets. It's why I got attacked by a rex in the first place.

    The Support Team Response Time is acceptable, the schedules and manpower is what needs work

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 05:18 PM PDT

    A pretty popular complaint here is how bad the support team sucks.

    I've had a few experiences so far and will usually have a response within the next few days asking for further details, etc.

    The problem seems to be the lack of manpower. I've recently had an issue where I lost a character and tribe. I went through the steps, got to the part where I need to set an appointment with a support specialist to meet in game, and to my surprise, the next appointment isn't available until nearly September.

    That is ridiculous. Staff up if you're THAT buried in support tickets, especially with the strict decay rates.

    My Recent Builds (Greek Building, Rainbow Tower, Pool Area, Hot Tub)

    Hey! I've been playing Ark for a few months now and I LOVe building. I followed a few of Aaron Longstaff's builds to learn strategies and techniques. Now I'm creating original plans. They are a little messy, but I'm still learning. Sorry, the pictures are at night, I got impatient! lol

    Greek Building

    My Greek inspiration.

    The Rainbow Tower

    Love the inside.

    First Floor

    This was super fun. I like the other floors too but didn't want to add too many pics.

    Hotub

    I added seats inside.

    A Simple Stilt House

    This is my guest house.

    The Aaron Longstaff Pagoda

    The only one I followed a tutorial on.

    My Original House And Pool Area

    Another difficult but fun project.

    This Might Be My Favorite

    Really enjoyed this!

    EPIC Games players invisible on battlemetrics?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 03:21 PM PDT

    So I went to check to see if my friend was in a server, they should have been on but couldn't see them in battlemetrics. Also the number of connected players on BM and the ARK server browser is different. EPIC games accounts now better for incognito griefing mode?

    Regarding Climbing Picks, Crashes and Random Bugs

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 05:30 PM PDT

    Hello, I am crashing while trying to load into single player. I had been exploring the Crystal Isles via glider and climbing pick and it seems to me the same was generated while my character was on a wall. A paste of the crash report is bellow.

    https://pastebin.com/dtniveG6

    I can't make much sense of Ark crash logs but it seems it might be something to do with climbing. Any input would be helpful.


    Also, I had two bugs while using these pick in the Apotheosis region in Crystal Isles. First my character was teleported high above the land into a falling animation where I was able to glide my way into safety. The second time everything in render vanished, and after a few seconds I got the respawn screen. No death message, no corpse to find, nothing. Like the game despawned me and had me respawn.

    I have a gravestone mod for death recovery and I wasn't able to recover anything meaning the game didn't generate a corpse and lootbag.

    Is there any info on this bug, what causes it, how to avoid?
