FluffyUnicorn Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Only just found out there's a stat cap .. can anyone tell me what the limit is please? Sorry if this has been asked before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paroxyde Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well, on official it's 450 on tamed dinos, why? I don't know. Otherwise, stat won't save proprely on server reboot if it exceed a certain amount of point. Forgot it, but it's like 250 somtehing point. The dino will be fine... Until server restart and its stat will be randomised as the game didn't save it proprely (from what I remember seeing somewhere). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go over 255 on a unoffcial the stat will reset back to its base, or at least thats what used to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroBurnAcidCool Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 255? that is points per any stat? & we are supposed to know this through someone creating an outside program such as ark breeder? not in the game that came from the developers? Mm so they lose countless hours cause there is no safety in place, no warning, nothing, stat turns red, nutn? Oh boy some people are going to come in here with a passion when that happens.

When you get 255 points into one stat you can worry about it. Dont think youll sse a base melee 1400 rex anytime soon though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that both cap's should have been better documented, mainly by the community, and potentially even actually capped and unable to get past said number. That being said as the poster above mentioned, 255 in a single is something your most likely never going to see in a official setting, though people have lost dino's to the level cap kicking in on a official server reboot.

Well, it doesn't go red or anything... It goes well until the server restart and the stat of your dino gets randomized because it couldn't be saved. Otherwise it works as usual until the the restart.

When did it change to a random number, last time i went over it with a mod (quite a while ago), it reset back to its base value from what i remember.

Interesting, mine was like back in 2015/2016ish, so they did change something but dint bother to actually cap it. Never really bothered again because of the cap, kinda ruined the fun of raising the level in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyUnicorn Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 I had a rex (on unofficial boosted server) it had 800k damage and after server restart it went down to 41k and because it's maxed, I can no longer do anything about that. Was rather disappointed as my rex was my first mutation and was going to be my breeder. But after learning more about the stat cap, I will be more careful in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stat cap doesn't make your Dino go "poof" if you go over -- that only applies to Level Cap on Official Servers (450). Stat Cap simply means that a stat can no longer be upgraded past 255 due to that being the limit of hexadecimal values in games (Think FF & KH games maximum level is 255). That's why it is ideal to stop breeding for mutations past 187 -- you get more value levelling that stat than mutating it futher, due to mutatoins giving a flat bonus and levels giving a percentage.

Ahmedfataka Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 yeah i think is 255 points in one stat and dino gets deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForzaProiettile Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Its high enough that most plebs need not worry because they'll never get even close to owning a level 450 dino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s because it was rumored or someone from long ago breed out level 700-1000’s and they had to nerf it for a major balancing or else you would have to face gigas and other tames to do unreal damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably won't ever reach that without messing with server settings and devs are not responsible for what you(server owner) do. Won't be a problem for majority of players. If you can do it on official then you probably already know all there is to know about breeding, stats, levels and caps without game telling you about it. Only realistic way of players accidentally go over limits is if someone would add trash stats to their gene lines to troll people by giving them eggs that would hatch at 450+.
