Why had wildcard shafted us at every turn? First ark2 now SOTF, what next? Next gen update is STILL not out for us and the game runs very poorly. I font wanna hear „just play it on pc“ I don’t have $1,000+ dollars to just play it there. I hope the devs see this cause they just blew off half of their community, and in a game where more than half of the maps are community made it just seems stupid on wildcards half. Please be more transparent about ps5 wildcard, please.

(ALL EXPLAINED) (EXTINCT) The Dracorex is an uncommon creature, that is a mixture between many species of the Ark. It loves collecting rocks, gems and some other kinds of minerals. This creature is very territorial, I highly recommend not crosssing it's limits or you'll be in for a pretty difficult time. Having this creature by your side will greatly benefit you and your allies. It may lose trust if it doesn't get enough attention. TAMING: To gain this creatures' trust you'll have to bring beautiful rocks (in this case gems) and offer them to it. The better the gem, the more taming effectiveness you'll get. The best gems to give it are in this order: 1)Red gem 2)Blue gem 3)Green gem.( I suggest getting the red one as it's the best for taming.) ABILITIES: This creature is very capable of protecting itself alone but it has unique feature! When it devours or breaks a gem it harnesses the mineral consumed and it changes the Draco's attributes. ( If you have tamed the dracorex , you can put a gem on it's inventory so it can devour it or destroy it and get the effects of said gem (keep in mind the gems' different abilities cannot be mixed nor stacked). ABILITY 1: The Dracorex has a bite that causes a bleeding status effect during a small amount of time without reducing the other dino's speed (just draining the dino's health and causing damage overtime). ABILITY 2: The Dracorex dashes torwards it's opponent taking aid of it's wing like protrusions (They're not actual wings, sort of extended scales that make it's arms swifter) and uses it's talon like claws to latch on the back of a dino (during a small amount of time ofc, it can also attack while being attached), furthermore, it causes a speed reduction that affects mainly flyers, if affected while flying it will make it land but it won't be as effective with terrestrial dinos.There's a cooldown between the dashes. After a few seconds it'll be kicked from the dino it was attached to and lose a bit of it's stamina. ABILITY 3 (GREEN GEM): When it consumes a green gem, it increases health, adds a regeneration boost and a poison attachment to it's horns and spiky protruding osteoderms that can cause the poison status effect to enemies while/during a short period of time.This poison can affect multiple creatures at once.There is a green aura around the Draco that shows when the poison is active. ABILITY 3 (BLUE GEM): When it consumes a blue gem, it aquires resiatance against stuns and a stamina-draining effect when dealing with other dinos. When it attacks other dinos, the damaged dinos will lose stamina faster than usual and nearby allies will recharge stamina faster. The Dracorex can hit ally dinos while being in this effect to create a status where the dino gets a stun reduction for a few seconds. When it loses more than 75% of it's stamina while being affected by the blue gems' properties, it will lose 10% of it's health points to make the enemy creature or tribe be aware anytime of the Dracorexs stamina. It also gains a speed boost on all terrain.There's a blue aura around The Dracorex while said gem is active. ABILITY 3 (RED GEM): When it consumes a red gem, it gains a small amount of health from other dinos, so whenever it hits a dino it recovers an amount of the damage it has done. It also can enter into a frenzy-like status that increases it's damage but decreases it's mobility by a small percentage. Enemy dinos won't be able to heal as fast after being hit by the Dracorex while being in this status. After the red gem status ends the dracorex will lose control for a few seconds, be very cautious.There will be a red aura around it that shows when the red gem effect is active. PASSIVE: It can hit attackers directly if aimed correctly when attacking a dino. Farms more gems than usual. Poison affects 50% less to: (shadowmane poison,basilisk...) EXPLANATION: Dracorex isn't able to mix different gem powers at the same time. Once one effect is applied it won't dissapear until a determined amount of time has passed and whenever it finishes, a cooldown will be applied before it can use the abilities of other gem.The mineral extraction is similar to the one insects do but this dino has got to adapt into the environment because of evolution through time. DRAWBACKS: it cannot fly but can lift itself from the ground for a decent amount of height (A feather fall/jump almost) with its large scale flaps, If the Dracorex isn't offered enough gems it'll start being less interested in it's owner as time goes by, it's a tiny bit smaller than griffins C63R17 WINGS SIMILAR TO BAT ONES ( because of the mutations all over time and adaptations to the enviroment) Evolution theory NEAR RELATIVE

Hello I have been trying to set up an ARK server countless of times, and I have never been able to get it up and running. I have been following a dozen of guides, I have tried different hardware setups, docker, VirtualBox, Proxmox, etc, but it just outright refuse to work. I have been following this guide https://youtu.be/_v6yFtNg6yA (except making it a service, I just wanted it up and running first before I did that) I start the server with: TheIsland?SessionName=SomeName?listen?QueryPort=27015?RCONPort=27020?Port=7777 It starts the server, but it gets stuck on this: Shutdown handler: initalize. Using binned. 4.5.1-0+UE4 7038 3077 404 10 [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110 At that point, it just completely freezes.

This has been driving me nuts for 2+ years at this point

In the last one, I feel like I left out some things. Anyway 3: Onyc. What do we even use them for really. Some people have said to make it like a glider but I think that doesn't fit with the island. Maybe like when holding them on your back they could prevent fall damage. That really is all I could say. 2: Liopluerodon. One of the most useless mounts. Tameable for 30 minutes and you get basically nothing for that. My idea? Make them owned for 1 hour and if its "magical" Then give it a teleporting ability like enforcers. 1: Araneo. Without a doubt needs a TLC. It looks... well they can be better. But its abilitys is what it lacks. They can shoot webs and do torpor when bite. ITS A GIANT SPIDER! Just like the Titanaboa you would expect so much more from a giant thing like this. I think give it the ability to climb walls. And for extra measures, make it be able to build a web between things where things flying by can get trapped in it and harvested. Wouldn't it be cool to just sit in the web in between redwood trees just chilling? Now if none of that suits you you can go with the lazy option. Bug damage boost. Wow. So many cave creatures need a tlc. Shoulda just made this whole thing about cave creatures. Anyway thanks. Add a response for creatures you feel like need a tlc. And if you want to see more things I feel like we need, follow me. Lol I acted as if I was a youtuber. Thanks, William, a 12 year old boy.

It would be better if we can just craft all so we don't have to wait and craft 1000 and keep repeating and repeating.
