>The popular early access title ARK: Survival Evolved could be in major legal trouble. As it turns out, Trendy Entertainment, the studio behind Dungeon Defenders, filed a lawsuit against ARK: Survival Evolved developer Studio Wildcard in December, alleging that Trendy’s former creative director Jeremy (((Stieglitz))) has violated the no-compete clause in his contract by secretly working on ARK in a major capacity.
It's over. Ark is kill.
>>146827594
Jesus Christ anon, how did you find old news while not also finding that they made an out of court settlement?
>>146827002
Game takes a lot of time when you play, so most people are too busy playing to post.
War was had today. On a server separate from Oceania.

WHY is everything a Borg cube ffs. I want to get this game but it's just like in 7 days to die where you can either build a proper building with various types of "realistic" defenses or make a concrete cube floating in the air over a spike pit.
Goddamn.
>>146829890
Big cubes are efficient. Missy on here build a cube or tower first then move on to building comfy things on rafts or pubs and socks and stuff. Look at some of the Oceania base screenshots when they're posted.
Is Fortitude a meme stat like movement speed, or is it actually useful?

>tfw I just found out you can't even build on uneven terrain
>no terraforming or digging
Well fuck. In 2016, really?
>>146830757
Use pillars fur uneven terrain. No digging.
Why would anyone play this game over rust? It's ugly and the dinosaurs look like shit.
>>146830873
>>Use pillars fur uneven terrain
Yeah that dude in the last video is showing how to do that, it's just so silly, he's jumping through all these ridiculous hoops to cover up holes in a simple sloped terrain foundation build.
>>146831016
Who even gives a shit about that? It arguably looks better aesthetically better to just let the pillars show.
In fact he shouldn't have even bothered with foundations at all.
>>146831481

I'm watching this now, it's goddamn ludicrous, apparently the flying dinos are carrying massive stone cubes that clip through them and everyone thinks this is just fine.
>>146829890
>>146830537
I find it really useful, but for the climate resists. My 20 fort does next to nothing against snakes or any other tranq, but I can run around naked in freezing weather for like 10+ minutes without dying. If I have a supply of cooked meat with me I don't die period, and with actual fur gear I never have to care about the weather.
Someone else needs to bump or this thread is as dead asthe aqualads

>>146848516
>You should be wiped out instead of being helped to
So youre saying people not within tribes and just building their own little thing deserve to get shit on and bullied by everyone bigger? Are you compensating for getting bullied in your youth or something?
Why are you even playing this game with that mindset
>>146848681
What is the point in this game if not destroying other people work?
Boy, someone sure is angry in this thread

Play around with that my man. 5x taming speed 1x food rate.
But take the required tranq range they provide with a grain of salt.I had way more shots than what was stated but I couldn't knock out a spino. Then again I probably just did it wrong.

Feels good not being the center of someone's autistic breakdown

>>146852826
>barrel roll the shit out of the enemies
problem with this shitty fucking server is the fact that the lava SHIT island keeps fucking spawning everything thats hard to kill and it keeps fucking swarming you
why the fuck are rexes more common in the fucking burnt down lava regions than its actual habitat the fucking forest
yes im fucking mad
>>146853756
they spawn a lot in the snow and snowy grasslands as well
>>146853756
You still on Lava island looking for a low leveled Rex?
>>146853952
Going to the snowy grasslands then, it just sucks it will be a long ass boat ride back

>>146860802
Please be an ARK mod
>>146854040
Spawn rates are fucked right now, they messed something up and it kills singleplayer performance when I go to test mods.
To get a rex make a raft with three walls like a U facing the front and get the rex on it before you knock it out, just pull the fucker to the safety of the islands just off the northeast of jungle north.
>>146861141
Holy fuck you brilliant motherfucker, im doing that, sounds like a solid actual plan
thanks anon, after making a gorillion arrows and whatnot ill go do that tomorrow
>>146861526
Not even my idea, I was cruising by half burnt island and saw a dino gate on a straight wall and asked my friends about it.
They took that U shaped raft and ram it into the gate to hold the rex inside while they tranq it, walls of the raft are only windows to leave holes to shoot it through.

do gorillas only spawn in the redwood biome now? i can barely find any.
If only i could find Mosa to put this on ;_;
>>146863886
One day mate, one day
>>146863886
Just check the penguin pond if you're on the center.
You can have the most badass organic polymer farming base ever.
>>146863886
the mosa platform saddle kinda sucks because the platform blocks a majority of your vision. not to mention theres really no point in building shit on them because it will just get eaten off by alpha mosas eventually.
>>146865448
Even without building on it, 98 armor is pretty beastly on a dino.

How do I go cave diving on the center when shit respawns so fast that I get sandwiched between two swarms of torpor assholes?
So according the Ark forums, Mosasaurus spawns are broken in The Center map and they spawn only when server restarts and after that they won't respawn at all. Fucking RIP
>>146869036
Doesn't sound right, from what I've heard they can only spawn in that closed lake with the iceberg and penguins.
>>146869646
fug that
>>146869036
Alpha mosas and titanos don't even seem to spawn at all. I admin an unofficial server and had to manually spawn them in and hope for the best.
>>146871672
Of course titanos don't spawn, map hasn't been changed since before they got put in and the creator is going to add them with the redwood biome.
Luckily unlike on the island he's just going to take a large section of water and add a landmass so it doesn't fuck with existing bases.
>>146871672
Too bad the server we're on the admin plays.
He could come in every so often and spawn one in a random location or something
Is it possible to tame a Quetzal solo? How long would it take?
I bought Ark a while ago and haven't played it ever. Should I try it? And if yes, Is there any useful tips I need to know before jumping in?
>>146872554
Stay skeptical, suspect everyone, keep a personal stash hidden somewhere in case you get fucked over after joining a tribe.
>>146872510
Grappling hooks
>>146872828
What do you mean by joining a tribe?
>>146872554
Play single player with boosted rates to learn the basics before moving on to a server.
Avoid official servers like the plague unless you like being gang raped by Chinese children.
>>146873075
A tribe is like a guild/clan in an mmo, all your dinos and structures within are shared and on a pvp server they would be like your team.
>>146871894
Center creator confirmed for more competent than all of Ark's dev team.
>>146872963
Thanks found a couple of videos explaining it.

Memes keep this thread alive
Former Aqualad Yaoihandsman here. Glad to see you guys are up and running again. I doubt you even remember me as I didn't really talk much, but it still makes me happy to see you guys are having fun here again. I just recently started playing with some friends of mine on another server (before I saw the general was back) but things are going a bit sour here for us so we end up migrating to where you guys are in the near future. Not sure yet if we'll join up with y'all or do our own thing but rest assured our tribe would be on friendly terms with yours if we did go our own way.

>>146879851
Surely they're worth more than 3/5 a person.
Why are 90% of Ark videos on YouTube in the 20-45 minute range? It makes it super difficult to find content that isn't one guy rambling and/or taking forever to explain something.
>>146882636
>ark videos
Besides bedbananas and other rp stuff I see no reason to watch people play the game.
Most of the fun in ark is having horrible misadventures with your friends.

Full o2 dodo. What has science done..?
>tfw have to wait for 244 patch before mosa spawns get fixed in The Center
JUST
>>146884079
Center is a seperate dlc isn't it?
Can't they push a major map update on it before 244?
>>146884219
One guy works it on, and he's working 100% on redwood
>>146884079
Map dev also said that the redwood biome is going to be located South part of the map.
>>146884079
>>146884317
Forgot to add that if you want to follow The Center map Dev working on the redwood biome just search Evilmrfrank in Twitch
>>146884291
I know that, what I'm saying is next major update could mean when he pushes the beta map live next and doesn't need to correspond with 244.
>>146884574
He has stated the redwood will take 3-4 weeks which lines up with 244 release, and I doubt he's going to fix mosa spawns and push that out when the Redwood thing is taking up all of his time.
do mesos even spawn on the center
How is true sky still an issue a year later?

>have to wait 1 month for mosasaurus
SUFFERING
>>146888725
No you don't anon, just tame one for penguin fishing.
You can name it free willy.
Why did the devs add mantas?
Their only purpose seems to be as niggers of the sea.
>>146892115
diversity, we need the niggers of the sea anon
>>146892360
No we don't, once mosas are fixed on the center it's time for the day of the rope.
>>146892115
they're pretty fast and their jump is kinda cool, the only issue is that they're garbage for combat because landing a hit with their stinger is impossible, and once they're tamed the move too quick to hit anything by themselves.
Fuck it. Tame every level 100 plus ptera you find like i did. Create a flock of kibble tames and bred pteras. 2000 plus health. Getting attacked? Whistle aggressive and follow all and start barrel rolling the shit out of stuff. 40 plus pteras simultaneously attacking will both overwhelm attackers with numbers and maybe cause some lesser systems to crash, removing the attackers from the game. It is also enough to enrage a giga, at which point passive and fly away. Sure, you will lose some, but then you can kill the giga. Make them pay.
So which map do you guys prefer, the island or the center?
I prefer the island. The center is alright but there are too many cliff everywhere in the center jungles and not enough rolling hills.
>>146898438
The center seems to run 10 fps higher than the island making the game more playable on my shit computer.
I also like how the dev is making a whole new area for the redwood forest instead of potentially destroying bases when changing another area.
>some tribe i know nothing about is crying for my/oceania`s help
Wat
>>146901821
Help with what
>>146898438
I prefer the island since I like spending my time roaming around from place to place and not building permanent settlements, but the center has a whole lot going for it too.
There's shit loads of nice places for base building, easier access to resources like crystals and metal, and all the water gives you an actual reason to build boats and docks outside of ocean oil mining.
>>146902446
>boats are only for oil
Do you know where you are son?
>>146902446
>not having a boat that you`ve wiped out 3 alphatribes,30 quetzals,50 argents and 300 pteradons with

Sounds like one hell of a boat, that's like 15 battle stars.
>>146908305
Dont talk down to me or my boat ever again.
What do I pick?

>>146922282
Yes for realisies. We lost a megaladon and a tribemember to some clan called "suicide squad" who changed their name to chicken nuggets or some shit.
>>146922007
I don't play on that server but from the chat log and spyglass target it's a fair assumption.
At the very least he has a common enemy with reddit.
>>146922526
I'm guessing you are very new to the game so I'll let it slide.
Gray name is you
Green name is tribe mates
Yellow name is everyone else
Clearly Test Tribe (The admin tribe) is just commenting on Long Hunts threat
No need to go into a blind shit fling for no reason there bud.
>>146922526
The fuck, I'm just a one man tribe barely making a living. I didn't bother responding to the guy since I didn't want to give him my name since he only saw me on my mount nearby before landing on his quetz.
>>146922724
You're right, I probably overreacted.
Hatred of test has just built up over years of dealing with the faggots in mmos.
>play on mostly empty server
>new people swarm in
>they all get plague instantly
>cant cure it till lvl 20
what were the devs thinking?
>>146922937
Seems more beneficial to new players to use less food and water and move faster.
Sure they lose out on other stats but when I first started playing hunger was my main issue.

What happens when you build below the raft, does it clip with the water or can you have a half-submerged submarine of sorts?
>>146929628
Anything below the waterline will be filled with water if that's what you mean unfortunately. I remember the devs used to talk about being able to airtight bases eventually, but it's been ages since i've heard anything about it.
>>146929763
>>Anything below the waterline will be filled with water if that's what you mean unfortunately.

The worst 15 hours of my life, neither one survived despite all the crap we tried to go through to keep them.
Breeding pen is going to be so full when these babies grow up.

So yeah I think I'll go breed more Spinos now.

Judging that the map is one flat texture, probably not. Press k and look under the ground, you'll see.

Can't they change that or make a new map where it's possible?

EPIC CUBES
Bronto babys grow up so fast

Thinking about grabbing this while it's 45% off on Steam. On the fence though as it's early access. How often does the game get updated? Can I havefunplaying solo?

If you insist on playing solo, there is an offline mode. I'd suggest using that, as if you're going to play solo online you will be constantly harassed by larger tribes.
Ultimately playing solo is possible, but the game is best enjoyed with friends.
