Your ARK Stories!

[PaleoJoe]

Just a few amusing/touching/interesting stories.

I absolutely love dinosaurs and video games. So Ark is an amazing thing to me. Since I read up on video games and whatnot before I play them in order to maximize my effort, I wanted to treat Ark differently. I went in not reading about it and decided not to read the text on items as that would damage my immersion of the game. It was quite enjoyable, pretending like I was actually surviving on an island. Something starting attacking me, so I ran as fast as I could through the forest. I became thirsty, so I pounded down some berries I had put on my action bar. Suddenly I fell and the screen blurred. I was knocked out! I was trying to understand how that happened as I heard heavy footsteps and watched as a Carnotaurus ate me. When I re-spawned, I read the text on the berry I was eating. Narco berries. I face palmed. The one time in my life I do not read the text on video game items, and it puts me to sleep and gets me eaten.

One of my first experiences with Ark had me rolling a character on a PvP server, hoping it would not be too bad. In my mind I thought it was savage and impossible to play. So there I am, running around, and find two other players running by. I made my way towards them to befriend them. Instead, it turns out the second player was chasing the first, because he gave up that chase, ran in my direction, and starting hitting me. Panicking, I ran away as fast I could while eating stim berries (which I read about as vital for PvP servers). I ran out, he caught up, and knocked me out. I thought "ok, not so bad". Well, he proceeded to take my stuff, feed me narco berries, and pooped on my face! I actually laughed at that, since I did not expect much out of this server. After tossing out my stuff he did not want he fed me more narco berries and dragged my body off a cliff, which is when I proceeded to log out and not go back to PvP servers.

So I finally decide to stick with a PvE server that did not have build everywhere on a spawn point. One of the things I loved about the game and new servers (I just started playing) was seeing all these bases and houses everywhere. I liked seeing the creativity and necessity behind it, and I was curious to the kinds of people who built them. I kind of became proud of myself for sneaking into and out of bases, just to look around and to see what is possible. I found a way in to this one base, whose tribe was <Get off my lawn>. Inside their fences I found dinosaurs and sign posts and typical stuff. I looked around for a few minutes at least. I found an open door to the building in the center and looked around in there. Suddenly I heard a door close and I was trapped. Apparently someone was inside, but they did not see me and I did not see them somehow, and this was a small room. I talked in chat asking for someone to let me out but there was no response, which was odd because someone just left the house. I did manage to escape (small crate by a window frame), and someone finally responded. They liked me enough to invite me to the tribe and they knocked out a nearby Stegosaurus for me (favorite dinosaur) that I sat next to and tamed all night. I played with these guys for the next few months and eventually got ownership of the tribe when they slowly quit. Despite being one of the top tribes on the server (even when it was just me) all of it was lost when the Redwood update changed the beaches on the north end of the Isle...

So I wanted a Giganotosaurus really bad. Rex was too slow, and the smaller dinosaurs were too weak. I wanted power and prestige. Sadly, despite being one of the top tribes on the server, only I was active in the tribe. It was hard to get my allied tribes to risk their resources and materials for help me get a Giga. So I played a bit on my single player PC copy, practicing riding a Giga and all that (since there were no commands for Xbox yet). The next day I had a feeling I should log on, so I did. I saw chat blowing up. I asked what was going on and I was told that there was a wild, high-level Giga near a top tribe's base, and it was just knocked out. They were discussing what to do with it. I immediately responded to them that I have all the materials ready (kibble, narcs, etc) and that I could tame it. They agreed to invite me to the tribe to tame it (I had my wife's account in my tribe so I could invite myself back). That is why you make nice with other tribes, because they did just that. One player protected me on his Spinosaurus to kill any threats (if I die, the Giga will wake up), and I donated narcotics and tranqs to the tribes that used them on the Giga to keep it down. It tamed out, the dino and I returned to my tribe, and I then had the strongest Giga on the server, while being a 1 player tribe! I was so excited and proud of what I was able to do despite the setback of playing solo. Sadly, it would be another 2 weeks before someone obtained the level to craft a saddle.

A friendly tribe asked for my help to knock out a Giga. I accepted and we were standing on the edge of a cliff shooting down at it. One of their tribemates was flying around on their favorite Argentavis doing recon and moving us if needed. The Giga was busy eating wild dinos, but started to leave the area. Since we were close to getting it down, I told the player on the Argentavis "bite his butt". He complied. I had a clear view of the whole thing. I saw the Argentavis fly in behind the Giga, and attack its tail. The Giga did a bite animation at a Compy or something in front of it, and the Argentavis disappeared. I thought it was lag, so I asked "did you get him?" The rider paused for a moment, and said "the Giga ate me". I did not believe him, but his tribemates confirmed it. It was so quick that he had no time to react and no body show up on the game. They were good sports about it though.

More recently, I tried taming a Pegomastax. Nice colors and level. Sadly I was by a beach. It took my berries, swam in to the ocean, and just kept swimming. It totally pulled a Dory (Finding Nemo reference) on me. I had to use my spyglass to see it because it went so far. It kept swimming out to the ocean and drowned. A week later I was tranqing a wolf on a beach. A nice high-level female I wanted for breeding. Before I got in the last dart, she swam in to the ocean. She swam for a bit, and stopped. I waited for her, but she just idled there, even when a Megalodon came by and attacked her. She did not fight back, just paddled water while the shark slowly nibbled her to death. It took almost two minutes, and I am wondering "what is wrong me me? Do these dinosaurs not want to be my friend?".

use the tapejara, mount it together with your friend so one can shoot and the other fly. You do have to increase it's stamina to make it easier. Also if the quetz flies of, it's probably in the direction of the 50/50 coords. Happy hunting

Thank you, I will definitely try this. Hopefully I can get one tamed up soon.

I stumbled upon Ark while searching for a game similar to Banished. They are not at all similar in the end, but the combination of free building and dinosaurs is what got me in. I had never played a survival game before, and I have to admit my very first hours in Ark were stressfull for me. Dying every 2 minutes is not my idea of fun in a game. But that changed when I lived long enough to build my first little thatch beach hut. I got the game in januari and I have not touched any of my other games since.

As for how I play: I play single player. I am a mother of 2 young kids and time is my enemy. I'm not interested in pvp, but maybe I would try pve if I had more time. I just do'nt have the time to log in every single day. Single player means that things go slowly, but I don't mind that. Being able to save the game is also I big plus to me, and that is only possible in single player. I hate to lose all my dinosaurs at once or have a large part of my base destroyed - be it from my own stupidity or not - the idea of having to build/ tame those all over again sometimes discourages me. I can handle the small setbacks, but when major disaster strikes, I like to load a savegame.

I also recently switched to primitive plus. I don't like guns and the overall more rustic life of primitive plus suits my casual playstyle better. I just love to build my own house with a view, a garden to grow crops, and kids... err dino's that actually listen to me

To the devs: for me this is one of the best game concepts ever. It unites several different aspects that I like in one game. The only 'let down' for me are the technical issues. I meet the minimum requierements by far I think, yet I have to play the game at the lowest of the lowest settings. I would not complain about that if the game would actually work on the lowest of the lowest settings. That seems an absolute minimum to me. Yet I cannot play on the center map at all, I cannot fly around on the island map either, and I cannot go into the redwood forest, all due to memory crashes as far as I can tell. I understand that this is an early acces game but I do hope you devs don't forget to fix those issues. If one meets the minimum requierements one should be able to play the whole game imo, not just a part of it. That being said, the amount of hours that I've already put into this game, proofs that you have already done an amazing job so far. Keep up the good work!

looking at what you described (memory crashes) the following might help you on this:

turn sky quality completely down, there is a memory leak in there.

[Martinigirl]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried a lot of things I could find on this forum (d3d10, no sky etc). None of them helped so far. Well, that's not entirely correct if I'm honest: turning every setting to 'low', including those sliders like sky quality and ground clutter made it so that I can now play whitout crashes, exept for the ones in my previous post (flying etc). On higher qualities I had crashes every hour. The later in game (level 50 and more), the more frequent - 20 minutes and less until it crashed right after loading. So turning down things helped, but did not fix it all the way. Thanks for trying to help though ?

My tribe was just attached and pulled into a tribe war while we were offline. We signed into the server and they had already killed our 5 dragons and 3 high level Rex's. Were destroying our walls and windows. We are on the island server 727. Tribe is the rocklobsters. Player "major bw Payne" and"sticky420". We have 2 bases South of the green obilisk. My brother and I signed into the server and we get in process of a tribe war. No one ever agreed to a tribe war. We lost dragons and multiple other dinos. All of our glass windows busted out and many boxes destroyed. We did not agree to anything. We were offline. This is unbelievable. Please help. We love playing too game and this will ruin it completely.

I fell in love with Ark through YouTube, Ark is the reason I even have a YouTube and Twitter account. I don't have a gaming PC so I would watch my favorite YouTubers and cross my fingers that the game would come to PS4. It finally did Hallelujah! So I bought Ark the day it released and started playing with friends on official. My family wanted to play as well because this game rocks so I ended up buying 3 more PS4's mine is a Pro . Now I run a server and my friends and family play with me, but the greatest thing about it is I live in Oregon and my brother lives in Texas. He and I are able to still be close through Ark. We fish, hunt and build together. Thank you for the opportunity to maintain a close relationship with my brother from so far away. For me the building in this game is where the greatness lies, Dinos are awesome but the things that folks build is like an art form.

Any Ideas on a good Scorched Earth Base Location 

Just Coordinates is fine, I am looking for a wide open space for a dino pen and some building room.

Cheers.

I made a taming raft (a very make shift raft) and started travelling north. I went all the way around the snow, almost to the part of the beach where our old base was and where we raided that guy with all the storage boxes. I was looking for a mammoth, but every time I would see one by itself, a pack of wolves would literally spawn in and kill it. Needless to say it was very frustrating.

Then I saw 2 on the shore which looked to be relatively safe from Wolves, Argies & Rexes. So I modified the boat a bit, and managed to get it to glitch onto the boat for an escort back to our island where I would knock her out and tame it. But because of the threat of whales, I still had to stick close to the shoreline, and low and behold I got to the very last piece of land before crossing the ocean to our island, and the stupid mammoth glitched off the boat. Couldn’t get her back on, and even managed to beach my raft (I couldn’t move it at all lol it was completely out of the water).

We were pretty close to home though, so I thought stuff it, ill tame her here. I got her down, spiked all around her. The area looked pretty cruisy though, except there was one lvl 35 Spino a little way away. So I even put a line of spikes in the Spinos direction. Eventually, the Spino kept creeping closer and closer, and I thought to myself – “I’m going to have to deal with this”. I thought if I put an arrow in it, it would run at me (I was behind the spikes so felt pretty comfortable). I put an arrow in its big fat fin, and it starts charging at me. IT RUNS STRAIGHT OVER THE SPIKES! I keep hitting it, it did this weird lap out at sea, then I hid on the other side of the spikes and kept arrowing it. It came back and started munching on the spikes around the mammoth, finally I thought, it would die. Then I realised, the mammoth was getting super bloody and making noises as though it was in distress. All this time I was continually putting arrows in it, and it finally died. I checked the mammoths health, 146 left. One more chomp and I think it would have died. Crisis averted. Holy crap can Spino’s move fast!

I decided that because he had lost so much health, ill shove the food in him now because the taming effectiveness was going to be so low anyway. He got to 30%.  I knew there was no room for error now with so little health left.

So I stuffed around, made a few stone railings and what not with the limited resources that I had available and just killed time while he tamed. At 80%, the unthinkable happened.

I was rebuilding the boat because the other one was beached, and moving stuff from one storage to another. I got attacked. A Troodon knocked me out in one hit. OR SO I THOUGHT.

I had just spent 2 and a half hours finding this raptoring mammoth and taming it, and a Troodon was circling my unconscious body on the raft, slowly but surely killing me then it would move on to the mammoth (where I was, was literally at the entrance to the mammoth thru the spikes). Then it happened. You were killed by a Level 15 Eurypterid. A WHAT? I respawned on the boat, it knocked me out instantly and destroyed the bed. raptor! Thankfully, I put a sleeping bag down half way up the hill in case of emergency. I ran down to the boat and saw the little POS, which looked like a scorpion floating in the air. It moved away from my first bag, I grabbed the bag then killed it.

The mammoth tamed, I crossed to our island and a whale knocked the mammoth off the boat right near shore. I got the mammoth back on (bear in mind I had no saddle so it was all just whistling) and that’s where I saw the small insert tribe name base. Only wood, we should definitely pay them a visit for some revenge. Got him home but by then it was super late and I didn’t even get to test him out. Left him in the middle of our big base cause he only fits through the behemoth gates, really hope he survives. I put his saddle on him just to give him some more protection!

Today we had a 140 Tapejara above our base. Usually everyone solo tames whatever we find, but this time we thought it would be nice to tame something as a tribe. Never done something like that before; my tribemate hopped on our Tape, I boarded the front seat with a longneck+darts and bolas. While we were closing in on the wild tapejara, I asked my tribemate if it was possible to bola our mount by accident, he said it's not.

Guess what?

My husband walks into the room and watches as I bola our Tapejara, starts laughing. neither of us had parachutes with us. my tribemate was dismounted immediately. While he fell he shoutet to me to get off, then landed on our spike wall, but was killed by the falling damage anyway. 

I waited as long as I could, jumped off and landed on the spikes as well, was catapulted down on our balcony (building is on the edge of a cliff), broke my bones but was alive. Our Tapejara flew off into the woods. Husband laughing at us all the time during the event.

We retrieved the body and our tape, tribemate jumped on his quetz, and I watched as he solo tamed the wild tapejara...

ARK has become a game worse the WoW to me. It entirely engulfs any spare time I have, but i love every moment of playing

[BipedTadpole]

I first saw Ark when our room mate moved in a year ago. I've never played video games beyond like Zoo Tycoon when I was younger. I was immediately captivated. I watched him play for hours and then my husband started playing too so I had plenty of watching to do. Then our room mate was like "Why don't you just play single player on Dan's?" He showed me how to navigate the old UI and craft my first pick, since I'd never really played anything like this before. Now I'm hooked. It's a problem. I actually look forward to nights both of them are at work so I can have my dinosaur time. I had an alpha rex destroy most of my tames a while ago and have been slowly building up with stronger tames in order to much that alpha as he's still wandering around the border of the snow biome. 

[Anakr0n]

On a positive note, after about six months of being gently pestered by a close friend from a city I had moved five hours away from 9 years prior, I finally bought the game and started playing on their Island server. We moved to a cluster with Scorched Earth and then my fun really began; I enjoyed taming all kinds of dinos and "Anakr0n's Delivery Service" flew to help tribe mates and new players all over. I looooved taming a plesiosaur like Ark SEALs with the two highest level, much more experienced players, and later tamed my own - Longbite heheh - when some of the falling under the map issues were fixed for water pens and the few of us that were spending a lot of time in the water and in the caves had mosas and a basilosaur or two. I had the only tuso, Isso Ona (water vampire) - *that* was a fun adventure that got me killed by sharks losing ascended scuba gear and having to grind to make more after pulling out my spare and using turtles as bait that everyone fussed at me at first for taming and playing with - so the squid was *mine*.

Then you all started mucking everything up and while maybe the flyer nerf was warranted, the way it was implemented pissed all of us off and they moved to Conan and shut down both servers.

[AndrewLB]

And... back on topic. Yesterday afternoon 4 of us on the PVE Official Server I play on beat the Alpha Tek Cave. Unfortunately our 5th player didn't make it through.

My Ark story is one of fun, love, and great tragedy. 

I've been playing since the second week of EA, and it took my wife and I less than a week of playing to determine that we needed our own server. So with that set up I've been hosting ever since for myself and a decent group of friends. Our antics are a lot of fun, but today I will share just one story. 

Myself and two friends, A and B (their actual initials). We're out to tame a decent level bronto on the beach, south-east of Hidden Lake. The bronto hits the sand and we get the berries shoveled into it. Beyond that we're just standing around talking. Then there's a 'thwip' and A drops unconscious and begins cursing over voice chat. B starts  laughing, I turn and 'thwip', then we're both taking a sandy nap. As soon as we wake up, we go after B who is hiding. Another fifteen minutes go by and by now the brawl has evolved into naked/club combat. 

Now my build (always 250%+ melee, because I like it) shines. As we dash about the clubs crack and people drop. I knock both A and B out. So I grab A and drag him over to a rock jutting into the ocean and throw him over the side. I didn't intend it, but there was a megalodon there (this was in the time when they could beach themselves and still move some). Well A was turned into chum and we're all laughing. So I go back and B is missing. I look left, then right, then I hear him say, "Hi Friend", and hear 'thwip'. Then I drop to the sand and begins our real adventure. 

B grabs me and says that its time for us to pay for our sins. He jumps into the water dragging me, and starts swimming out into the deep water. It's night now and the fog has moved in. We can barely see anything and so he just keeps swimming. Stopping twice to re-narc my body. We're both expecting megalodons to swarm and he says that he will die with me, for he cannot imagine life without me. Strangely no megalodons appear. And eventually there's a single tiny rock sitting out in the wide expanse of ocean and he climbs up with my body. Now I wake up and we start to talk about beginning our new life on the little rock, living there happy and content with nothing but each other (and a tamed dodo that was apparently on follow). Still joking we start to mention how difficult it will be to build a house so far from anything else. 

We're theorizing on the validity of placing a bed, and then building our hut out of discarded soiled loincloths as we would die repeatedly to provide the building material. It's then that the sun comes up, and as the light spreads the fog fades....

Turns out we were ten feet from the opposite shore the whole time. We placed a sign to commemorate our rock.

I was lucky enough to dl the PS4 version the day it dropped. I fell in love with the depth of this game soon afterwards. My 6yr old loves to get his sleeping bag and lay on the living room floor to watch the 60 in and inform me of what I should do next or which dino I should tame next or when to kill and eat them. He and I have learned most of the dino names together! Oddly enough this game has been a hell of a bonding experience for my son and I!!  My wife even has started sitting and making quilts half way watching but always listening to us chat and discuss of next plans or what the next home addition should be!!!  HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!  I rarely want to do anything else!!!!

[AstrihKonnash]

My fiancée started to play before me, back then I looked at him playing and complained a lot about high lv dinos near the beginning players area and the initial high death rate (and the bugs too!)

Then he got me both Ark and the SE DLC for Xmas and got me hooked

And we were lucky to start on an Official Server with good players. Together we created a tribe, and 2 other tribemates joined us

Love to travel thru Island by flight or by foot, lately been looking for good dino tames or buying breeds to replace the bad low lv ones I've been using for egg-laying, and started to breed sheep (not seriously for now)

The bugs still make me uneasy, hoping WC finishes adding content and start chasing those out the game.

[Evample2]

joined 148 in 2016 sometime, got into tribe with stone base and behemoth gates and some decent dinos, wiped by cg weeks later i think, took a small break, joined hardcore with leader of tribe i was in on 148 and a few of the members, played for week or so most of them quit, took another break, came back with leader again and started building metal in snow, we got giga rexs turrets all that stuff, became friends with alpha blabla raided people, took another longer break, came back to server with him again and he had built up another metal base with tribe member on 148 at lake pearl, played for a while, took another break, came back joined some tribe on na center server that was fairly large with 10+ members, a couple weeks later they decided to betray leader and left to an se server that was owned by ots but abandoned and we got invited by them there and into the tribe and started building alpha bases cuz we were alpha and raising wyverns blabla, the leaders of our tribe quit cause too much grinding and chinese griefings and much more over the course of 3 weeks or so. me and a few members that were still active officially joined ots and gained full access to some servers and we joined one of them started working on personal base, oh and a bit later that alpha from the hardcore i played on started playing again but had tostart over on same sever so i joined them as well and ya my pc died getting repaired rn while im posting this, tribe issues arose and others all worked on one common goal (fortifying server and building megafort on carno) and thenn uh idk thats where im at rn and idk what to say thats pretty much my 500 hours in ark over 7 or 8 months bye hope my story was entertaining theres a lot more background info but it would take about 5000 words to explain

 

note: for those who dont know ots is one of the biggest tribes in ark

[zhance]

This game has happily ruined my gaming life, I used to play a lot of different games like gmod and csgo but now its all ark and even more ark. Its addicting and fun, I found myself a few friends and so yea.

Ark the taker of souls

[Sharingan]

Hi Jen 

I play ark minimum 18hrs a day.

I fight with my girl and don't go to work all because who'd go to work when they can fly wyverns like a boss ? 

We'll that was until your game done me dirty and claimed my wyvern to thin air -_-' and it's not like the blue screening problem hasn't been around for pretty much forever 

My story is about how I didn't believe when people said wild card don't give a duck about the players and I'm praying you guys do something about it and prove these drop kicks wrong 

 

 

Another question

 

Why would you nerf a birds speed but not oxygen ? It's not like I can swim or even dive for a second under balls deep water ?

Most of the time i love this bloody game, but then there are times id like to delete it from my memory.....

Today i decided to start my map over, but keep my level 72 character (never done this before), upon spawning west i started getting my raft built, i do love building on rafts as it gives you the freedom of the island, i like to find a different place to settle every time i start over, 

Got my raft built up (takes a few hours) decided to get a couple of raptors, i like these as body guards when im out exploring or foraging, i had 50 narc arrows and 24 narc canisters on me, ready to go out and get a high level Stego for berry collecting, walked out of my raft and got hit by those stupid gull birds, took something out of my inventory, i didnt see what it was, i then got hit again, this time it took my 24 narcos, so i got my cross bow ready, looked up, but it was just white as the sun was up, 3rd swipe and it took my 50 narc arrows ?? im now starting to lose the will to live, after a few missed shots i managed to kill the bloody thing, only to find it didnt have an inventory, all i could do was pick it up ?? so i lost all those narcs!!!

I had to go out and forage by hand again, with my 2 rex's guarding my back, they where only low level though, when suddenly a Carno came out of no where, i started shooting it which meant my Raptors took over.......both died.....i though hmmm, that must be a good Carno, level 12 ??? oh well better than nothing, so i tamed it, went back out to get more berrys when i saw another Carno, yes i can have this easy....nop, my carno died pretty quick, it was fighting a level 72, oh well, i best tame you then i thought, i was thinking if its big enough to kill then it must be good enough to tame lol

So i tamed it, and was looking at the stats, was a 107 when i finished taming, i used Dododex to check them out and was pleasantly surprised to see in 107 levels i have only 1 in speed, with 22 in health and 29 in melee, the 2 you really want above average,

Ive never really bothered with the Carno, not a big lover of them, i much prefer Raptors, but im loving this one, got the health over 5k now and working on Melee, hopefully i can keep this one alive abit longer than the other dinos, ive being going out in the swamps on foot, i do love doing this, learnt what to look out for, but those slim crocs ?? that pick you up ? dam those things, but my carno eats them in just a few mouth fulls, i love my new body guard

There are times when i could throw my console out of the window, but other time when i cant stop playing it, every day i play thinking ive seen it all, yet my eyes get opened up to new ventures

Moral of this story, if those bloody gulls hadnt taken my Narcs i would never have found this carno and gone on a swamp adventure for 3+ hours

I am a force tame role player in single player. I role play that my character has a special ability that allows him to tame dinosaurs instantly and is part of a research expedition to this planet where scientists have gone to different areas on the planet.

I started Ark. I joined EU server. I saw [][][] [][][][][] [][][] in chat and was like :o. 

Found 150 giga. ko'd 150 giga. after feeding it 750 narcotics my eye catches the message "Too many tamed creatures on the Ark!". Closed ark. 

Came back to ark for revenge on [][][][] [][][]. gonna tame a poopload of jerboa's and other useless fast tames and put 'm in houses in asia servers :). Welcome to Ark life.
