I wish console had acess to those settings. All we get is "detailed graphics, or crap graphics" and Im half tempted to say its just a placebo switch. Just to make us think its doing something. >.>

You have "Resolution Scaling" (two rows down from the Resolution in Settings) lower than the maximum. This will degrade the image quality. It should always be all the way to the right.

(Official PVE, Extinction) First I gathered some dust. Then I learned that transfers are currently disabled, so I can't send it to main base. Then I gathered more dust, built a box, put dust into it, and gathered even more dust, so that when transfers are back I'll have a nice amount ready. (Official PVE, Valguero) Checked on the babies, everything's fine. Made a saddle for new carcha, since he'll be grown soon. Bred carchars, gigas and rexes. Carchars and gigas all fails, rexes all, well, also fails, but they're staying. No such thing as too many carcha baits! Did a bit of a rare mushroom run in the swamp. Checked spawns, no carchars whatsoever, but Weather Top had a level 20 giga, so I decided to try something I wanted for a long time. So I came back home, unpodded a quetz, made a platform saddle, put 4 wooden foundations on it to get a bit more space there, and a trough. Put meat in the trough. And then I deposited my favorite (and best, of course) velona, Ratteki, on to the platform. And like that I went back to Weather Top. Stopped quetz, dismounted, mounted Ratteki, and started shooting. The giga got a bit bloody right away. Just a bit (Ratteki isn't some super-bred velona, or even just good. He's simply a full imprint leveled to somewhere around 600% melee). I kept shooting. The giga tried to escape into water. I kept chasing, kept shooting. The giga ran into the Abb cave's entrance and got stuck. I couldn't get the quetz into a good enough position, so I rode Ratteki off the platform and continued shooting form the ground. And soon the giga was dead, seventh heart added into my collection, and since I, for once, had an unharvested giga corpse, I took its dermis, too. Returned home, and that's all for now. ... Checked on the babies again, drake (now named Sylvia) is adult, gave her a saddle. Older carcha adult, moved her to the rest and bred (egg stays, clean female). Checked spawns, nothing again. Returned home, took Sylvia on a hunt to get her some levels. A few points went into health, just to bring it to 10000, more - into stam, until it was a bit over 2000, and the rest will be melee. Podded spinos since I'm not all that interested in them anymore, and moved carchars in their place (except for Copperscale - podded him, as he's only god for colors, and that can wait). The younger carchar is 97.5% grown, so I'll log back on after some time to finally ride him. For now that's all. ... Carcha (named Furious) is finally grown! Saddled him, tested damage no rage, no leveling (I remind you, 19 points melee, full imprint) 422 per bite. Full rage, no levels - 1162. Then I took him for a nice long hunt pretty much all over the map - even nearly to the wyvern trench! Got him 56 levels by the time I returned home. Tested at full rage - 1716 damage, no rage - 624. Then checked how much damage my main giga, Abaddon (full imprint, 36 points melee at hatch, plus 69 leveled points at the moment) does - 2111 per bite, so Furious, despite being, stat wise, MUCH worse, isn't that far behind when angry enough. So, yeah. Now I'm absolutely sure that carchars are awesome. And that's all for today.

I really like rock drake.

Some creatures are not able to be tamed through proper knock out methods. The lystrosaurus is one that does not need to be knocked out, instead while its awake and wandering around, you must put the taming food of choice {mejo berries is best} into the very last slot on your hot bar, and occasionally press a button to feed it to the animal when it ask's for it. In order to determine if this is a actual problem or not, you may try and target a dodo as they DO take the knock out method and you can transfer things into their inventory once KO'd. Go to the dodo and try to use the "transfer all items" button. If nothing moves over into the animals inventory, I would defiantly say there is a problem.....or its dead. Make sure its not dead.

Dino wipes, dino wipes, dino wipes......Unlike official or even a private server, you will have to manually clear the dino's out of existence in order to make room for new dino's to appear, of which you will have a small chance of having a giga or charco to pop up.

The spawn times are weird, I did a giga wipe on my server to let carchas spawn when they came out, it's been weeks and nothing has spawned, the only thing you can really do is wait for them to spawn, but if you load up a new world, carchas should spawn.

I to would like to see something like Waveworks in ark 2 or similar I'm getting bored of seeing a lame flat ocean this is a 2023 game it needs to look like a 2023 game something to give the oceans life anything at this point.

That graphics are great with the right rig and even more so for the game being 6+ years old.

I'm keeping fingers crossed for a positive experience with Ark 2.

It's Studio Wildcard not Wildcard Studios.

I'm kinda new to all this, but I certainly hope so! Is Wild Studios the original? What's the history?

Last turkey trial 😭

Oh PvE will be a fail in Ark2, they have announced that there will be AI tribes going around making trouble for players and given how incredibly lazy pve players are they will cry and complain that it's too hard and that pve should be a challengeless slog full of toxic griefers just like how it currently is.
