monomania

Im at my 5th lost Chibi now one of them was level 3 because the cosmetics tab and pet slot are just not placed in such a way that they register in the heat of the moment.

After almost a decade playing Ark this new thing is hard to get into the "system" so to speak.

Ideally you would also make the chibis persistent on the characters.

I honestly don't care how strong you feel about anything or that level of hysteria, nothing has really fundamentally changed other than that an overarching government has had their wings clipped in favor of state rights as it always should have been. You are a gaming company and I can guarantee you a large chunk of your customer base is on the other side politically to you, I find it interesting how willing you are to alienate them by overestimating your influence on any of your customers. I don't think more than a tiny fraction if that cares to know anything about your political leanings or affiliations.

I don't care what the politics of my grocery store is or my utilities provider, my barber or any service provider including a company that makes a game I enjoy. I'm sure if a company started flaunting conservative views the "they can do what they want with their bla bla bla" guys would turn around faster than the speed of light.

Been a long time since that QOL List got any additions now, many ideas have been added on the forums since then.

Ever played extinction?

Same thing, different tune.  If you know how to combat corrupted on extinction, dodorex is no different.

Do you really think the modern gigas won't be able to chew dodorex and spit him out? Plus ORP.  What is PVE without the environment?

Completely Irrellevant, but also an issue on ext that people are able to destroy even offline protected based on PVE, still not fixed. There is a massive difference between making survival a bit harder and adding a doomsday creature to the game, that's changing the rules while you play a game.

I mean, I've had a giga spawn in my base before. The GM's are awesome and do what they can.

Did it suck? Yeah

Was it awful to wake up to first thing in the morning when I logged in?  Yeah.

Buuuut, this is Player vs Environment.  One should never be too relaxed in a survival game.  If you're not a little afraid of the game, where's the fun?

And before you ask, I lost a lot of event dinos that the GM's are unable to replace do to the limitations of what they can do, so yeah it did really suck a bit, but the community on my server was awesome and gave me babies to replace what I had lost.  The funny thing is ultimately I gained more than I had lost (and that giga was a 140 alphaboosted, with the alpha raptor hidden just outside the doors) and have hilarious memories.

I was here for the first Fear Evolved. It was an amazingly fun time. I hope this is just like it.

 

Edit: It was the one time I was really sad I'd called passive to the babies when they hatched, as they just stood in place like little appetizers for the giga to gnom gnom on, instead of running in righteous terror. XD

Your completely missing the point, this is not about some elevated form of fear, A dodorex in your base can wipe the entire base, for many that includes thousands of dinos and about 10000+ hours of work... get real.

And with the toxic community in Ark you are guaranteed to see bases get wiped from people pulling stuff in.

It's Ark, don't get too attached to your digital stuff.

what a ridiculous statement, everyone gets attached to time spent at the very minimum.

I hope you are right, but I think the devs owe us an assurance after all the bases wipes that have happened in the past.

Basically it will force alot of people to just log off and get offline protection on and not play, fantastic event.....

Au contraire, the last Fear Evolved event was probably the most fun I have had playing Ark. Even with the possibility of being wiped by the dodorex if it spawned in your base (cause still in EA wo anything could happen...) while offline back in the days of no ORP on PvE. Two weeks of pure terror with that, God I loved it.

 

if that happens to me its game over for ever for ARK, PVP is one thing PVE another completely. This event is cancer if they do not make sure our bases are safe.

Dude i've been playing Ark since Day 1 in June 2015, I know what the original Fear Evolved was like and I loved it.

So you feel a perfect griefing mechanic is a great thing to add to the game ?

If you mean the DodoRex and DodoWyvern yup, so glad they are back, especially the DodoRex!

Careful what you wish for, this may be the worst event idea in history.

All hail the Dodorex ! Long live the King !

I wonder how the Dodorex/wyvern will work this time round. Will it be like last time with each on a different map or if it will be utter chaos with both on each map. Couldnt imagine anything more worrying than the dodowyvern on the Island.

if as stated they chew trough metal the best thing is likely to not play at all during the event to make sure your dinos and base survives, it sounds like the most idiotic event of all times.

So does this mean we now have to fear people using the dodorex as a PVP tool on PVE pulling it into bases to wipe them ?

Please keep that thing inside an Arena.

oh yes please incorporate the structure saver on official as soon as possible, so I can move my base from server to server without having to redesign.

There should be a way to separate the balances made to dinosaurs and game mechanics between PvE and PvP.

Multiple balances have made PvE nothing but hard. Managarmr being a recent example, in PvE they're useless now thanks to the many balances made to make PvP better.

Flier nerf was a huge change in PvE making fliers and transportation harder by forcing us to land since PvP was taking to the skies too often and the game tried to "ground" the fight

This I have wanted since day one two separate balance files for PVE and PVP, including element transfers and tributes transfers. Makes sense on PVP no sense at all on PVE

Hope they keep that feature out of the PVE game, and please help people who have been pillaged using this system recently.

waste of a read tbh all about pve 

About how most of us PVE players feel every time we read something about PVP. But unlike you PVP players we have to suffer every time you guys do something that we in no way played a part in and WC due to lazy game management decides to do a full game nerf or alteration, with same rule sets for both modes. 

Most of us would I imagine prefer to live in an alternate universe from the PVP crowd and have our own PVE rules.

Will this also put the engrams on rag?

 

Center also needs them, still have not gotten any of the new unlocks thanks to center and rag being last as per usual.

This is absolutely ridiculous, forcing us to do bosses to learn basic skills again, yeah thats gonna be fun on 8 characters... 

Also game now has complete lag freezes every so often no movement or sound for up to a minute each time.

I didn't see an option to access its inventory. You can't tame them.

 

I just go up to them and press F and have access to their inventory and put the stuff in there and wait.

So, the Gacha Claus doesn't seem to want my coal. And I fed it some mistletoe and nothing. Do I have to feed it a lot of mistletoe? Can I craft holiday decorations? I'd like to craft them.

have you tried putting it directly into their inventory ?

I wish you guys could have made the colors permanent instead from candy.

Can we get Triangular foundation/ceiling pieces soon for building? This is exciting

Also happy about the kibble rework! will help massively reduce tame cap

 

ONLY PROBLEM.. is Scorched earth has no way to get prime fish meat.. we have no sabertooth salmon. Unless you add it as a spawn

Ill second this, and stackable foundations please like in Conan.

Maybe the best solution is to finally implement Structures+ mod and give us better building mats. 

Conan exiles style foundations would make this game so much better on building.

Thanks for the feedback regarding our structure announcement folks, we appreciate it. Keep it coming. 

Last time you guys did a pillar fix the pillars I used on my structures as a decorative feature went poof, please dont force me to redo everything again..

My entire base including outer wall also made of pillars and walls, probably uses like 4-6k pillars in total.
