Recently in ARK I have found that it is pretty fun to use a boat base (or just in general even if not as a base) but I wish there was a better boat building system so we can build actual unique boats other than just a floating house. They are doing component based weapon crafting so why not a similar thing for boats?

You did.

May we please get an evo! With a cherry on top

Waited all day to read not even a paragraph and no evo, sick .

Love these Crunches - the ones where it is essentially "Here is some stuff we didn't do! Btw no Evo - suck it!" Nice. Thanks.

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT EU PVE RAGNAROK 388. ITS A VERY ACTIVE SERVER AND ME AND LOTS OF FRIENDS ARE ENJOYING PLAYING ON IT. WILDCARD THOUGH DECIDED TO RUIN THAT EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF US!!!! WHERE AND WHO CAN WE ADDRESS?????????? NEED ASSISTANCE ASAP

The EU-PVE-Official-Ragnarok210 has been offline for more than 40 hours, do you know why?

The games never been easier. The survival factor is gone after about 30 mins.

Yea but it back fires a bit because if you can trap an alpha in just the right way they never stop running and you can hop in the cage and chase em around with a sword and easily farm em. I mean once the alpha is in a cage you can farm it a number of ways and it's not really relevant that this mechanic kicks in, but when I realized that it did kick in I was able to save about a thousand cross bow bolts that one day.

You should do the world a favor and make the first one!

I play on the official server of ragnarok388. The server is down for two days now, i typed the servername on the internet and came on the site https://www.battlemetrics.com There i saw that my server was dead. What does Wildcard do with dead servers?? replace it or what? Have i lost all my dinos and base?

997 has been down for over 11 hours now, with numerous reports being posted by everyone on server.

I have a password protected PC PVE Server on Steam that is underserved. If you are into building, crafting, and breeding, this is a server for you. Any level is fine as long as you act responsibly, and you will receive help to start out, if needed. I have four bases that could use an occupant, from a wood house to a huge stone base. I also have a Megaladon that I lost when I changed it to aggressive. If you could find it, that would be nice. Contact BBBataan on Steam if you would like to join.

That's hilarious, thanks for the good laugh. But hey, if you need to believe that so you can feel better then go ahead.

(Official, Fjordur) Fed dinos, put the gasoline into the generator. (Official, Crystal Isles) Fed the trike. (Official, Extinction) Looked for drops. Only found a yellow, did that. Got a 70+ armor megalania saddle, some dust and some polymer. And less remarkable loot only good for grinding for resources was there too, of course. Returned home, uploaded loot, fed dinos. (Official, Valguero) Added more meat to the tek trough in the raising corner. Imprinted babies. Gave gachas 6 stacks of arrows each, collected crystals. Lots of loot crystals today, unfortunately, so only got enough dust for 8 whole pieces of element. And that's all for today.

So, any news on when the Carcharodontosaurus will be joining ARK? I know you mentioned that it would be added later, due to its popularity, I kinda hope it will be soon.

Not sure if anything can be done but beyond frustrating that I had a dire bear lvl 30, 2 megatheriums over lvl 100, about 8 raptors with about 1500 health each and somehow they were annihilated by one little megatherium lvl 15

(Official, Valguero) Imprinted yuty, spino and owl. And since there was low risk of sudden FPS drop (well. To be honest, the risk was low for a few weeks already - ever since I played around with settings until I achieved the point where 30-40 FPS is the norm, but the graphics still look pretty much the same), I made 120 grenades, took my tropeo and went to the trench. Because seriously, it's been a long, long, LONG time since tropeos were added, and I haven't used them for their true purpose of epic aerial combat even once. So I got there, and I attacked the first wyvern. 55. And won! And it turns out that while tropeo can't sprint while frozen, the boosting speed is still very much there and so is diving. So keeping the distance until debuff wears off is pretty easy. Next wyvern, 50. Another win! 20... It had no chance. And even a 185 died quickly. Then I stole and egg, just because. 150. Checked it at home, it wasn't any good, but the very fact I for once stole an egg with something other than a wyvern is cool in my opinion. That's all for now (or for today).

Thanks! Boss fight weekend!

Well I just love how consistently inconsistent WC is about weekly communication and EVO/other events.

(Official, Valguero) Imprinted yuty, added more food to the trough. Filled the maewing, hatched owl, put it with the yuty. Previously hatched spino, too. Fed what needed feeding. Made all my eggs into kibble. That's a lot of kibble! I rarely tame things, but better be ready. I mean, last time I used kibble was for a near-max level giga of all things,, so it's best to have lots in case my spontaneous taming is that of something big and serious. Fed gachas. Gathered some obsidian, made poly. Since I used the replicator anyway, also made all my shards into element. Bred gigas, one egg stays. Clean female, all good stats inherited, I just decided it might be a good idea to replace current breeder females with ones with same stats as male. Just so that when I finally get a melee mut it won't be on wrong melee. And that's all for today.

I think it would create more game play and drive to search for artifacts if you could place the artifact in the off hand slot and each artifact gives different status or effects or abilities and when it’s equipped in the off hand slot it show on the character as a necklace.

Stop saying "exploit fixed" just say what the exploit was. You are not preventing cheaters by doing this. Speed hacking is so bad right now I know many people who are leaving because of it. When it's fixed, if it even ever gets fixed, "exploit fixed" will not be enough to get people to come back. Just say you fixed speed hacking or whatever the issue was. Also "fixed a recent duping method" or something of this nature doesn't give any information or lead to more instances of cheating in the future. It's just silly. Say when you take enforcement action. Many other games do this, there's no reason it needs to be a secret. Just send a message like other games saying "thanks for your report, we took enforcement action based on your ticket." Only reason not to do this is because enforcement doesn't act when they should, which is a huge issue with transparency and also creates a lot of conspiracy theories in the community.

On Genesis 2 its still working..erm, buggy. Maybe the word "even" lead me into the wrong direction.. ty for clarifying.. (grumbling into his beard: will test if its really fixed once another char can use it and being below level 130)

Hi everyone! Pretty new here and incredibly late to the ARK party. Picked it up for free on my son's Xbox (he left it at home and I decided to power it up) and now I can't get enough of it. The good, it has rekindled my love for vidya games. The bad, I slack on HW, chores and brushing out our dogs. Wait that falls under chores right? Anyways I am at work and jonesing to get home to squeeze in just a few hours of ARK. Currently have 3 Rexs I tamed and CANT WAIT to have saddles for all 3 of them. Just learned that if I kite alphas to them they shred anything that comes into their path. A pleasure to join you all

(Official, Fjordur) Went to (damn. Forgot name again. The volcano island) to gather some oil. Got a bit over three stacks. Returned home, grabbed two beacons on my way there, nothing good. Fed dinos, put oil with hide into the forge and lit it. (Official, Crystal Isles) Fed the trike. (Official, Extinction) Spent some time flying on my wyvern, chomping lampposts. Got a bit over three stacks of dust, uploaded them. Fed dinos. (Officlal, Valguero) Gave the yuty more meat and imprinted him. Owl's adult, named him Cookie. Rearranged owls so that Cookie's the only male on his gacha, podded one owl because four per gacha is enough in my opinion. Bred owls, one egg stays (49 stam, because it's Cookie's and his mother's egg so other stam without mutation is literally impossible, plus weight inherited). Hatched last time's spino, exported stats, and yes, he stays. He's finally right. Retrieved uploaded dust and made it into element, and also gave dust gachas 6 stacks of arrows each and stayed with them picking up crystals until they were completely out of arrows. That's all, maybe for now, maybe for today.

(Caballus mod map) Finally had time to keep exploring the newly added caves. Went into the jungle/pirate themed one and got lost in there for three hours. It's mostly about reading clues, finding switches and completing a few skill tests. I got thoroughly confused and wasted so many grapples, but in the end did reach the artifact. Then realized the doors had closed behind me and I was locked in. Spent another hour or so going over each riddle again until I finally found a way back out. With the Artifact of Growth I could finally craft the ritual BP to summon one of the three God Horses. These need to be tamed with map-specific diamonds. The plant themed horse appeared inside my fenced-in base and immediately spooked, then ran off a cliff and into a heavily predator infested valley at preternatural speed. Thankfully it calmed down before anything hungry saw it, and was tamed quickly. My nerves.

Rollbacks suck. There are a couple ways to mitigate losing baby tames to them; always stuff your maewings/troughs full of food first, then put babies out. When you go to log out after putting babies away, leave your character in a bed until a server save happens, then log off, that way you will know if a crash occured and you will need to hop back on when the server comes back up. Tek gloves are really nice, they will tell you the server save timer when you use the extended HUD (H on PC).

(Official, Valguero) Logged on and a good thing I did! Yuty and owl were almost out of meat. Added more to their troughs, imprinted them, fed everything else that needed it, bred gigas and spinos (spino stays. Haven't compared stats yet but I think it's finally right. Added 20 element to each gen, fed gachas until I got enough dust for 10 element and a bit over 800 shards. That's all for today.

Without negatives, 21/20 melee mutation on blood wyverns took me over 1800 eggs. 22/20 mutation on melee -> 2400 eggs. 1-20/20 never more than 700 each. Time becomes the commodity, and the enemy is how much this process consumes after 20/20. PVP will give you way more options. On pve before incubators, we hatched 200 eggs at a time, the 2nd baby you claim has the mutation. You have 205 more babies waiting.... don't claim them, 4 fps while at your base for the next several hours or days..... or, for a couple hours, go and claim them and kill them all.... I don't think there's a limit on what animals it is useful based on their maturation times. It takes no effort to raise these alongside of things you are already raising. Its just waiting for them to finish to make it useful that will delay your mutating maybe a month(2 day raise assumption here) - if you were working non-stop on mutating that entire time. But that 1 month delay would be insanely worth not having to waste your extra time going through thousands of bunk eggs. You can even combine the older generation counts so that you can create a positive # to mate back to your first negative generation. If you do that at the same time, it only takes one or two new generations to wipe the -2 billion # you get down to -1. Like, 2 day raise - 10day raise, the process to reach the negatives is about 42 generations. If you do this non-stop, you will probably get 30 done before you reach 20 mutations. Because there's no stopping except when you are short on the # of females to make the next generation. Another factor is, you can start the count roll before you even find that winning melee to start working with. I don't' know many people who find the 54 point melee on day 1. Someone always does though, its just odds are good its not going to be you. You could be 5 generations in before you even find that melee you want to mutate. Its best to start this right away if you are serious about it. Say you got 44 points to start with. You want it to be 254. The first 20 mutations gets u 40 points. Now you are at 88. So you would want the negative mutations for the next 65 mutations. After that, it could go to zero again since you need only another 20 mutations. To put it into some perspective, I think it took Bert over a year to reach the end of the line on the traditional rexes. x-rexes took about 6 months(though the negatives existed before anyone actually tried to hit 254 with them - regular rexes were already done). People got better and better at managing the workflow. *official pve server history here* PVE official is running out of animals to min/max, I think the arthro and the 2 pachy's are all that's left to hit 254...jk...but seriously... If you want a crazy idea for them. Move that -1 over to a level 1 female. Clone your 300 breeders of that. Then take the highest stat you paused with, turn that into a zero count. Now, every mutation you get, resets the new potential stud to zero again, the -1 mutates to zero. And you mate back to the -1 females, get a mutation -= back to zero.... Now you have a loop that gets you all the way to the end with no more thinking. You did a lot to get there, but don't have to think again about it after that. One caveat, I think you can't merge -20 + 20 to get zero. I'm not 100% sure as I haven't actually done that or tried. But others have told me you have to mutate from -1 to hit 0 again. This is hearsay, since I can't confirm this as fact. I got too bored trying to reach the -1 mark with aberrant spinos and rock drakes. I was too lazy to prep that last set of positives to wipe out the -2billion in 1 shot... Solo breeders should avoid mutating for max.... its a team effort.

OUR SERVER DID A THING! we changed the server over for the weekend from Valguero to Fjorder for a 3 day weekend. we started the server the week before Fjordor was released, and a few people wanted to try it out. we uploaded a few of our dinos and a few items, then switched the server for the weekend. we had a blast! i found and tamed a tropeognathis, a griffon, a snow owl, a mating pair of shadowmanes, and a few maewings. a friend of mine tamed a couple of Velonasaurs, another snow owl, and a fjordhawk for each of us. together we stole a couple of rock drake eggs, and a couple of lightning wyvern egs. we didn't realize until getting back that we have no way on valguero to get nameless venom in order to mate the rock drakes. the tame i'm the most happiest with is the shadowmanes. i've always been a big fan of wolves and equus, these are similar in some ways, but soo much more.

Instead of it being just at the bottom right of screen, make the runes appear in the Explorer Note tab so people can tell what biome the ruin they are missing is in, I'm missing 2 and have mo clue which 2 I'm missing.

What made you think they would not release an early acces? Look at ARK, never left eraly acces.

PGARKS was an experience I was looking for since i first saw this game. Sadly when it became avaliable to players it wasnt really playable . After years away I've came back to check genesis, valguero, crystal isles and fjordur and having alot of fun, now on the xbox game pass instead of steam ( much better pve comunity tbh). For my surprise pgark got very nice improvments , it dosent take as long as it used to take to generate maps and it creates actually playable maps with at least the basic needed resourcers without too much tweeaking . As the ship is sailing to ARK 2 it would be nice to have that system in a better shape for those who would eventually remain in ark1. Would be nice to have PGMAPs when we get bored of the last maps released on ARK 1, it still misses some stuff, in special a better ingame UI configuration system instead of relying on " .ini " filies but also some functionalities such as terminals and some biomes. Is there any plans to develop it further or we are set on the current state? Cheers, excited for ARK2 anyway.

Trust. Trust that making reports is not a waste of time. As well as not wasting time on reporting the same over and over again. Trust that GM's do enforce in a structured way and not all on their own.

But that doesn't really make sense if you think about it. They are the ones cheating. They are going to know as soon as it doesn't work again. It doesn't matter if the patch says it or not as soon as they go to do the exploit it won't work and they will know before anybody else.

Here are some Problems Prim+ has , since long time and short time: - Dino Transfer Ragnarok/Aberation Many Dino's are not possible to transfer to Center/Island... Aberation Dinos deal many problems.. because atm you are able to transfer Reaper's but no Light Pets -> make them kind of op in prim+ ... - Bee Hives atm Bee Hives dont produce Bee Wax, only Bee Honey. Bee Wax is an important Ressource for prim+ - Hazard Suits: Actual you only can craft them in a Fabricator + The crafting mats are ressetted to original crafting recipe with gas balls and polymer -> was prim+ leather and prim+ glas before - Grinding Stone The Grinding Stone has 16 slots but high end Blueprints need much more Ressource- maybe you can increase the Item Slots on these ? - Plant Z It is not possible to place Z Seeds into the Large Crop Plot -Tepee's Teppes dont work on Ragnarok, on other maps they work but are mega buggy - you want to respawn at the tepee but it teleports you to a random spawn area on the map - Primitive Plus Structures Many Structures are not Paintable.... Brick Ceilings Brick Pillar.. Brick gates, Lumber gates .................................. -Primitive Plus Structures missing ? -> Brick Behemoth Gate ? -> Brick Behmoth Hatchframe ? - S+ Primitive Plus Structures (triangle) - X plants 100 Turrent Cap In Prim+ are X plants the only Tower defense (Rock Golems and Dimo Towers also possible) but atm its nearly impossible to build a base in an open field, because a breed Giga can easy tank and destroy all xplants in senconds. Maybe you increase the Xplant cap to 150-200 ? or Increase Xplant HP /DMG ? - Beacons Atm Beacoms are dropping Fabricator super rarely .... I suggest thats not intended- plz remove - Rock Drake Blueprints missing ob aberation (from drops) -Primitive plus Vegtables Since the new kibble rework- all prim+ vegtable doenst work for dinos anymore -Prim plus Meat - Cooked Poultry and Cooked Rips doenst work anymore for Dino Food

Queria saber si se van activar de alguna vez que el fjordhawk se pueda usar en aberration por que ese dino no es volador nose por que no lo an activado desde un principio espero que lo agan de una vez y si estais de acuerdo apoyar esto para aver si hacen caso

My friend and I have been long time players had have even on a 6 month break, but decided to jump back into an official PvP server for the new map. Three nights and a level 60 character in we're calling it quits. Why? It's absolutely insane you can eat 15 cooked meat and still be hungry 5 minutes later. You log off and next day all meat is spoiled and you spend the first 10 minutes killing and cooking. Then you've got a 30 meat, time to go adventure and look around... For 10 minutes until your character is hungry again. Berries don't seem to do anything (they were never good food sources, but you can eat like 200 and the food level barely moves) Have I been on private servers too long? Have they changed the survival dynamics on all ark? It's fjordur just set to these dumb levels to make it hard? (for not fun reasons) Other things that felt "off" - collected like 30 plants for narcoberries. Got hundreds of berries, but not a single narco. - character always cold. Yes I get that's a thing on this map... But I have a player with 26 fortitude, a furr hat and the rest leather (better hypothermic than flak or chitin) and I was cold at 0°C. Seems... Wrong. I was enjoying looking around and coming across new sights and creatures, but these things and other stuff just totally ruins it for me. Anyone else get me?

Hi Im a noob and I play on a beginner server and killing alpha mosa and Tuso for a chance for a better fishing rod is really stupid hard. I keep on killing them only to not get items because the bag is outside the world border. Can you fix that please. or go ahead and give me a prim giga saddle bp

No evo means no point wasting time playing official servers. I thought a few years ago we were supposed to get a permanent 2x gathering boost. Oh well. Ff7 this week

@SunsetErosionFeel free to offer a contribution to the conversation. Your silly little facepalm without saying anything just makes you useless. If you have any information, any useful information at all, to contribute to the conversation I'm sure everyone would be happy to see it. If you're aware of any information, again any information at all, that contradicts what I've said then by all means provide your evidence for why you disagree with that post. https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Tek_Sleeping_Pod "health rapidly regenerates whilst the player is sleeping inside, and experience continues to trickle even while asleep and offline."

Also @invision@Doomek The Tek Sleeping Pod was never supposed to give you XP while still online, if it did that in the past then it was a bug which has since been fixed. The sleeping pod generates XP and regenerates health, thirst, hunger, removes torpor, removes aberrant spore debuffs and removes radiation - but it does all of those things only when the character is sleeping, which specifically means when you're offline. If you lay down on any bed in the game that doesn't mean you're sleeping yet, your character only begins sleeping when you log out. You can prove this to yourself by getting a friend to help you. Take turns laying down on beds, and the sleeping pod, and you will see that the characters don't sleep when you lay down, they are only asleep when you log off.
