11er33 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm either posing a really good questing or I'm about to look like a total noob moron. But why is it called ARK survival. What is the ark? Are we as survivors in some kind of digital storage unit on some massive ship carrying digitised dinosaurs. What are we? Where did we come from. What is the ark?

What is the ark? Well I think you got part of it. As in it's built to keep species in existence. The rest of the story isn't in the game yet though.

Ulta Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Taming a male and female of every creature. Just like Noah's Ark! Otherwise, only clue you got to what Ark really is, is in the explorer's notes, and even that isn't very descriptive. There's not really a whole lot of 'story' to Ark just yet, but we think on release we're gonna get just a bit more to it. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda think we're part of the creatures on the Ark though. That's why we've been tagged. ? Also guessing we won't get the whole story any time soon. We've seen that there was parts on Scorched that aren't on the island, so I'm guessing it'll be the same for the water world etc.... I bet the Acension boss just gives us a teaser that makes you want to buy the next DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 because the islands and maps are cut of isolated regions in which some alien force has created an ecosystem of collected super creatures from different points in time for the purpose of entertainment or experiment ?

raaazboy Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 the word ark was found by rockwells asiistant when tinkering with a object he found other than that i have no other info. something i dont see a lot of people brign up is the fact that the humans are all from different times perhaps aliens view each human as a new species as evolution is a sloooow process and humans mere thousands of years apart are not the same creature in the eyes of aliens but then again there would be many more cretaures if this were the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonie1 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 So in order to find out the backstory of the game, we have to finish the game? You realize that a vast majority of the players will never do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomiDarko Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I highly doubt the "Alien-theory"... I think it is what it is. Everything is created by humans and we are the test-subjects. The ones who are testing us are the devs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyMantooth Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I actually come up with a theory that the original game was ARC Survival Evolved. ARC was not cool enough so they went with ARK and built the story and game concepts from that point. However, I say ARC because at one moment, you're at the bottom, base level, can't go any lower. Then you level up, gain things, build bases, and become a great player, then through the act of someone else, or a bug in the game, you're back at square one. See what I did there ehh...

IdreamofZombie Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The second definition of ARK is "something that affords protection and safety". I like to think of it as ironic since you start off with nothing, and with lots of hungry dinos chomping on you. It is the exact opposite of a safe and protected place to be. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
