    It appears WC has mastered moving foliage...in Rockwell’s garden we soak the vine swaying or moving a little, and if you look at the end part with the Noglin, there is a brain coral/pillar coral hybrid which is slowly expanding and contracting like breathing.

    stuff like that has been a thing for quite the long time though ? like trees moving in the wind and such ? or am i missing a point here

    EDIT: Nevermind, i didn't read the post properly and thought you meant something else

    Could it be a different Santiago clone? As in with the original's memories, but not the memories of the one on Extinction.

    i feel like this could be an answer, because one of the notes on extinction, to be specific one from ascended helena, mentions his soul being long gone.

    On the other hand the original storywriter only wrote till extinction, so more contradictions happening between "old" and "new" lore wouldn't surprise me

    To put it bluntly, ARK 2.

    i'm really torn about this, one the one hand wildcard announced atlas the last time they went to the game awards, so ark 2 is something i considered and i really want this to be a thing, but on the other hand it just seems way too early, doesn't it ?

  4. Just another quick idea as to what the announcement on the 10th might be, what if it's not anything affecting the main game, but wildcard releasing more ark related media ? While they said they're going to go beyond anything they ever did before, i kinda doubt it would be something like an ark movie ( let's be honest, a lot of people want it, but that's way too big ).

    But what if it's something smaller, like a short ark series or a cinematic ? Similar to these little clips they did at the beginning of the launch trailers for aberration and extinction, but maybe for the actual lore. Not to mention that Helena and Rockwell both have proper voice actors now.
    Now i wonder what moments from Arks story would be interesting as a cinematic, personally i would really like to see Diana and her crew blowing up aberrations overseer...

    They genetically engineered dinosaurs in real life, and with the discovery of element, they're announcing the construction of a new real life Ark game, where they actually put you on a real ark. A step above VR gameplay.

    Perfect, can't wait for troodons to shred me irl ;D

    She used a screenshot from the trailer that introduced Island Ascension, it'd be kinda strange to go all the way back to grab that image for no particular reason.  [...]

    And, this is assuming it has something to do with ascension at all and I'm not looking too deep into the image picked, but still, it seems strange that to pick out that picture from years ago for no reason.

    i would assume she just did it for the gesture, as a "hhmmm" expression ?

  6. By the way, what do you guys think about the announcement on the 10th of december ?

    There are people saying it's gonna be ark 2, but i honestly doubt it, considering that gen 2, once again the "end" of arks story I'm looking at you, extinction, isn't even out yet.
    Not to mention that when wildcard announces stuff like this, it's usually something big, but not this big.
    I just feel like it's gonna be something different than a whole new game or more DLC, but still important. Maybe mods on console, free to play or anything like that.
    Any other theories ?

    Somebody said that the Ragnorok map makers confirmed it as, "oh yeah, it's the Colony Ship..." I think it was Fes or somebody... If it wasn't Fes, sorry lol- but someone DEFINITELY said it.

    Guilty as charged.
    I only found out recently that the person who i got this from, isn't actually part of the dev team, but only a moderator (who doesn't have that kind of info), so yeah, sorry for that.
    Funny though that the map actually ended up being ring shaped

    Let's go over some facts, shall we?

    1- We killed the King Titan, thus the main hivemind of Element on Earth.
    2- ARKs were craddles harboring life to restore Earth once the Titans/Element were removed.
    3- ARKs also doubled as a pulse-kind weapon to purge "every last bit of Element from the soil" as stated by Helena.
    4- Aberration crash-landed on Earth during the Reseed Protocol.
    5- Arat Prime is located on Earth and a key (if not THE key) location behind the ARK project.

    My toughts :

    1- Arat Prime is indeed the design/building/launching point of the ARKs.
    2- Given the assumption Arat is a massive shipyard, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Genesis ship starting point.
    3- I'm confident to say the Genesis ship was a backup plan to find a new planet, should the ARKs failed.
    4- I suspect Rockwell was freed from his "guardian" bounds when Aberration crashed on Earth.
    5- Rockwell, being now a creature/servant of Element most likely felt threathened by the ARKs anti-element pulse weapons.
    6- Looks very much like Rockwell found a way aboard the Genesis ship, a.k.a lifeboat to escape certain death from Earth and its ARKs shields.

    Those are just some ideas...

    We already know that the sanctuary and it's sourroundings are the birthing place of the arks. This was mentioned in multiple of Helenas notes as "the one who waits".
    The point about arat prime being the launching point of the ship sounds kinda good though, considering that arat prime probably has the same kind of relationship to the genesis simulation that the sanctuary has to the arks.

    I thought arat prime was just on the other side of earth. Like i think it was mentioned in a note somewhere.

    yeah one of dianas notes on extinction mentions this, so arrat prime being on earth is confirmed

    I honestly hope we don't spawn with Tek Armor... ARK may have extensive and rich lore, (Good enough to rival that of even FNAF's) but at it's core, it's a survival game. We'd be missing out on that classic cloth and hide, maybe even the chitin, flak and riot. If we're missing out on that, what else will we be missing out on? Spears? Thatch huts? Wooden huts? Mortars and pestles? Naw, that's not the ARK we know and love. Genesis bent the ARK norms out of order, and I just hope that Gen2 doesn't shatter the ARK that we know and always come back to. There has to be some other use for that armor. Maybe we DO progress normally, and the armor is late game, for example, after beating the final boss that could have stolen it from us at the end of Genesis? I'm pulling at straws here... Starting with "Refined" Tek tools, armor and weapons would rob us of a great Survival experience. I just dunno what to think- I need reassurance.

    I just remembered this post after the reveal just know, they just confirmed that you're gonna spawn with a federation tek suit and that the map is also built with that in mind ( some places might require the jetpack to get to ).

    Although they also said that it kinda works like a skin at the same time, so you can put on other armour too while keeping the functionality

  11. Thx to the modding discord i got the locations of all the notes:

  12. I'm not sure if it's that helpful, but i thought we could analyze the trailer better with it, so i decided to write down rockwells speech from the trailer:

    Welcome survivor.

    Enjoy the view.

    You see before you the pinnacle of mankinds ingenuity.

    All of humanities hopes and dreams, carefully nestled within this lifeboat, each of its shining rings are labeled with miracles of science and nature.

    Paradise.

    Where the boundary between the biological and technological has been all but errased.

     

    And now all of it … is mine.

    I control this vessel now.

    I command its evolution.

    And very soon its destination.

    From there my will shall spread across the cosmos, forever.

    Infinite and undying.

    And there's nothing you or that witless puppet, that shadow of her, can do to stop me.

    I have already set my designs in motion.

    Our future awaits, survivor.

    I found one in the Caverns of Lost Hope, gonna check the other caves after

    It was on a bridge at about 48.2, 80.3

    Oh man, i can't seem to find it, you don't happen to have a screeshot of the exact location ?

    EDIT: Nvm, i also got it and it's also bugged for me

    WHAT

    Logging in to start searching now, do you know at least what maps?

    I think they are all on the island ? I'm still not sure where though
    EDIT: They definitely are on the island, in the explorer notes tab they are present when reducing the notes to the island, so they gotta be there somewhere
    PS: Don't forget to equip the HLNA Skin since we needed it for the last chronicles too

  15. By the way everyone, the genesis chronicles are back !
    We got five new notes to find ( although i'm honestly not sure where to look ) and the set of skins we're gradually unlocking this time is called "Federation exo suit".

    Also, for everyone who has the genesis season pass, there's a free chibi for the noglin.

    In the trailer, I saw:

    Brontos, stegos, pteros, compies, rhinos, dimorphs (i think, it was barely visible,) glow bugs, seekers, striders, the meks, and the tekuus (tek equus, the giant machine horse things.)

    Also of note, the tekuus "ate" both rocks and trees.

    I kinda thought the strider materialized itself out of thin air but then i noticed glowing tracks appearing on the ground before the strider itself was visible, so my guess would be that unlike the rock drake, the creature itself can be completely invisible, but it does leave visible tracks while staying cloaked

  17. Just a little thing that isn't really important or relevant to the current discussions, but i just found this in dianas 29th note on extinction. She's mourning her comrades who died after getting to earth and what i find interesting is that there's actually a birthyear there, 2125. So while we still don't know what year it is in the present, we atleast know around what time everything started to go down ( mind that this is the birthyear of an URE soldier who fought alongside Diana)
