Really annoy me that wildcard havent made a solo/duo pvp server cluster, how out of touch with your players is it possible to be??? I am pretty sure the reson no one of my friends on steam play mutch ark at moment is the lack of solo duo servers. No point playing on classic or smal tribes as solo player, and joining making a big tribe is not that fun, wery hard to find serious people aswell, so better to just not play ark.

Recent Primitive Plus bug So ya, recently I made the update on ps4 that was released 2 days ago. Since then, every item and blueprints that belong to the Primitive plus mod just disappeared. Like my dodos are floating (my floor was made out of lumber). Can someone please say if this is also happening? -
Primitive Plus Solo Game reverted, new game in Primitive still Standard I’ve been playing a Valguerro solo map offline to try it out; on Primitive Plus mode for extra crafting complexities and the neat extra design features. I updated today and now my game SAYS it’s loaded Primitive Plus Official on main screen, and my file is available, but everything has reverted to Standard. All my engram points were refunded, storage boxes reverted to old appearances, and my extra crafting stations (and TONS OF MATERIALS) are now gone. I suppose I should be grateful the game’s not totally destroyed, but I have no idea how to revert this save file back, or get those seeds/firewood/food/housing pieces I’d been saving back. I tried starting a new game in one of the other maps, making triply sure it was loaded under Primitive Plus Official, and it loaded with Standard engrams. Thought maybe it might help add more to the possible data. But seriously, this is a blow if the game is so unstable that a minor content update would completely wreck hours worth of work on a solo, not even server based game file. Would anyone have any possible solutions, if I can’t get my items back at least a way to reenable the Primitive Plus content again? It was genuinely fun to play and I’d like to have it back.

I play in solo mode on ark mobile. previously I have lamented at how slowly I seem to gain experience in relation to others. Despite having a permanent 2x buff from primal pass and having all the free time in the world to play others seem to climb through the levels at lightening speed. It might be worth noting that from my observations the exp gained from killing creatures on mobile doesn’t seem to earn you, or your tame, the same amount of experience that is listed within the wiki on gamepedia. It might not be of any revelance either. today I just finished up collecting the artifact from the swamp cave. Killed a whole bunch of high lvl scorpions, but nothing that stressful as I’m on lvl 81 - wearing my well earned, super spiffy wetsuit and scuba gear, whilst riding my level 55(ish) direwolf. On my way in I saved my game and backed it up, as you do in solo. I also noted our experience. I was on lvl 81 with 412,353exp and my wolf was 4061exp. after completing the cave, saving, backing up etc, I noticed that I had the pop up saying I had leveled up and could up my stats. I was surprised as when I went in I still had around 38,000 exp points to go. (At least I think that’s right, if lvl 82 requires 450,000) I was blown away when I saw that I now had 814,119! im pretty sure I used a broth of enlightenment on myself as I went in, but there’s no way that I earned over 100k points from the cave. It took me months to get to 400k! Anyone have ave any ideas why this might’ve happened? Have you seen this before? If there’s any devs or moderators reading, do you know what’s going on? im not complaining mind you, but I sure am curious and would love to repeat it if only I knew how. p.s. Can you use potions and such like broth of enlightenment on your mount as well as yourself? And do those buffs stack if we both eat it?

Solo player LF solo friendly server It's been awhile since I've played Ark or been on the forums so hopefully this is the proper place to post. I'm a solo player looking for a server with rates that allow solo play to be doable but not extremely easy. For example, instead of hatching an egg for days I'd rather up to a 1 hour hatch for something like a giga egg. Low gathering rates are fine because I actually like that grind. And dino stats boost is very important so I'm able to solo bosses with my dinos. Events don't matter to me. I usually ignore them. Prefer Rag or Val map.

So I've played ark a lot and I learned I prefer single player but I get impatient and end up turning on cheats and running around with a level 1,000,000 Yutyrannus. What have other people found to be the best single player settings? Including Imprinting too because I want to delve into mutations, I work 8 hours during the week and go to school as well, I just play to relax and have fun but I still want to breed and take on bosses but I don't have days to devote to just this game. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Preserving. So I just woke up to find my babies dead, yet again. Last thing I did before i went to bed was fill up the troughs with raw, fill the dinos with cooked and give them fresh preserving salts. First thing I do when I wake up is log into ark to check on my babies. 2 troughs full of spoiled meat, 4 bags on the ground of spoiled meat. This game expects you to spend every waking hour playing and even that's not good enough, so here are some suggestions to fix that. -Preserving salts should stack much higher and/or have a longer spoil timer per salt -Preserving salts should be allowed in troughs (and refrigerators too because why not? not exactly game breaking) -Either make the current trough preserve when run on sparkpowder like the preserving bin or a new mid-tier trough which does this (which could also have more slots!!) -Cryos in the fabby Please, let us solos at least ATTEMPT to have a healthy sleep schedule and make this game even slightly more compatible with a life which does things other than just play this game.

Solo Purple Orbital Drops (gigas) seeking advice I'm in a relatively big tribe and we all have our own sets of imprinted gigas. think they were all 445% babies so imprinted and leveled they are all about 900% damage. We've been doing purple orbital drops as a tribe and it has been easy with 4 of us, but i am wondering if I'd be able to solo it. We've found out that if the gigas dont have riders they'll damage the drop so I was thinking of having dino leashes just out of range so they don't damage the drop Anyone done/doing this or have any ideas?

i am wondering how to get better as a solo player, not necessarily pvp because i would consider myself pretty decent at it. I am more looking on how to get better at base building, and spots for bases that are hidden and won't get wiped within the first day. I am also trying to find out where the beaver dams are on rag, i currently have no cementing paste and i live in a raft base made out of stone, i also have a mutated dilo and a mastercraft flak gauntlet, boots, and a helmet (the alpha gave them to me) if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -
Hello everybody, hello WC, if you read this, i hope. i have a bug. In solo PS4, sometime since 3 month i think, the explorers notes disappear as if I had never found them. And the map resets itself as if I have never discovered anything. I see patchnote before the eggcellente patch, but not work for me. Today for example lose my dino note, note explorer and the map resets again.. Not a big problem!! but i play RP solo, and love read dino note but cant now. Please do something guy thanks.

I've been playing for 3 years- never online. I play for the build only- always bigger and better than the last structure I built and only in competition with my self. I have been playing the Island for the last 2 years or so and had every cave and explorers note discovered plus 7 crazy bases. Crap ton of hours into this world. A few days ago I get on and it takes me to the respawn map but my needs aren't there so I pick random- NOT new character and when it loads everything is gone; dino's, structures, inventory, map markers. What can I do?

Ok, so I'm new to,the game but have been really getting into it. I'm on a pve primitive server but with everything that was just released I plan on starting over on a new server. I play solo, which on PvE isn't an issue. I kinda want to try PvP and get the full experience, but I'm afraid as a solo casual player I would be wiped out constantly. Just wondering if anyone else has attempted this? From the looks of it, I need to either stick to PvE, or join a large tribe if I want to try PvP. I don't know why, but it won't let me reply on this thread anymore. Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips and advice. I'm currently getting a little more practice in PvE, but plan on watching a few videos and starting a PvP character this weekend. Thanks again

I strongly advise you to not bother even playing on any official PvP server as a solo player/small tribe. Just don't bother. Save yourself the time and energy. There's too much grinding and effort involved. Ark's focus is extremely heavy on big tribes when it comes to almost everything. You can waste a week building "hidden" even on a huge map like Ragnarok, playing smartly, farming all of that metal to smelt it simultaneously in a few forges while risking yourself and your tame (if you have tamed anything by then) to farm the rare resources to make a fab, generator, cables, outlet, gasoline, turrets and then ammo, after spending maybe 15+ hours in that 1 day just farming and then the alpha/local tribes of the server will find your base while you're offline (it's always while you're offline), soak your turrets and wipe you for everything you've got, leaving you back at square one and then you can either join the big tribes and PvE (tame, raise dinos, build, help allies out, do boss battles, caves, bla bla) or stay solo/small and question why you're even playing Ark because as a solo/small tribe, you're going nowhere. If you do get anywhere, you're lucky/are great friends with the alpha. That is all.

Hello, I just want to say or advertise that a new youtube series started called Helenas path. This series is done by beastdeamon the guy that I know from his hardcore (gamemode) pvp ark. But he is also known from making rex jump behemoth gates, this was actually patched but reintroduced. Just a super experienced ark player and not a youtuber that build his first house. So if you like to start from scrath and try to keep even steps with him on the path to character level 120 on the Island then do it like this. In single player you need to upload your current survivor otherwise you loose ownership of your current structures and tames, type gcm (give creative mode) and place a tek transmitter. Type saveworld. Turn it on and select upload survivor from the next window exit or cansel you should now be in character creation. Name your new character Lucky or download your old character. Type saveworld again once you spawned on the Island. You might need to load the island map if you play on another map. Just remember to type saveworld before and after transfer. Personally I go for Therizinosaurus and I need those cryopods but thats all. I do not understand why cryopod blueprints are not in the drops on the Island. Its the best tool for a breeder, baby's get stuck everywhere and are laggy, my ark freeze for 1-3 secinds when egg hatch, wow. Well the latest updates have less crashes and a built in zeroed map (day1 map) protection. Youtuber name is lucky by nature. Good luck you need it And perhaps luck manifest ?

I'm currently playing on a non-dedicated server that I host for my friends and I (though it's usually just me) with the Singleplayer Settings checked and various other sliders/settings configured (mostly focusing on harvesting, breeding, maturing) and I'm at the stage where I'm gearing up for tackling Broodmother.. considering how tedious caving is, when it comes time for boss fights I'm probably just going to take them straight on at Hard - though that's subject to change. Considering all this, a question that I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer for is what exactly I need to put into my boss-fighting team. Currently, I have two rexes that I am going to use for breeding, tamed at levels 150 and 168 (I set the cap to 180) and each ending up at levels 222 and 241, respectively. Before taming effectiveness, they both had around 8k health but the higher-leveled male had something like 800% melee damage (about 37 points according to the wiki!) compared to the female's 500% or thereabouts. They're currently at around 60k HP, and I think that's what I'm going to reach for any new babies with the rest poured into melee - female is currently at 2.6k% and male is at 3.7k%. For comparison, the couple took out a level 68 Alpha Rex in about five bites total, the entire fight lasting less than ten seconds. My main concern is that I don't know exactly what's enough or what else I need in order to start tackling the bosses. I've done research and seen posts from the past 2-3 years saying people nailed the bosses with ~10 20-40k HP and 500-800% damage, some saying that 20 rexes of similar stats failing, and all sorts of variations in between, which makes me really cautious. Keep in mind I am also playing with the singleplayer settings/non-dedicated which, to my knowledge, makes bosses a lot easier, but I'd rather take no chances than go in underprepared and lose everything. I'm definitely not going in until I have at least some 50+ armor saddles on about 8-10 rexes with imprinting, and I'm thinking on bringing a couple Daeodons in for the healing. What do you guys think? Is it going to be overkill, and I'm worrying for nothing? Are there a couple other precautions I need to take? Should I let my friends imprint some of my breeds and drag them in for a couple extra 30% boosts?

Introduction Me and a group of friends have been playing Ark since release. I personally have put 2000 hours into the game. I've had a few unofficials before but never decided to take it further then just my friends until now. The Server We are running Ragnarok right now with 20 slots, we will be adding more when there are more people. We also do plan to add more maps like Aberration and Extinction to the cluster but that will probably be in a week or two. The rates are fairly boosted. They are boosted enough to where you don't have to spend a week of your time raising a Giga instead it's just over a day and it's not too crazy to point where you get slotted from cutting down one tree. You can find the server by searching the following under unofficial PC Sessions #MARAUDERS PVP <RAG> 10x Rates / Duos Only I have big plans for this cluster like a server shop, server events, a discord and even a website. All which i'm working on now. Server Stats XP - 10X Harvesting - 10X Taming - 10X Breeding - 10X Mature Speed - 10X Crop Growth Speed - 10X Turret Limit - 150 Turret Limit Range - 8000 (10000 is the default) Max Tribe Limit - 2 Per Level Stats Multiplier (Player) Health - 2X Weight - 5X Speed - 2X Crafting Speed - 2X Oxygen - 2X Fortitude - 2X Per Level Stats Multiplier (Dino Tamed) Weight - 5X Per Level Stats Multiplier (Add Dino Tamed) Speed - 2X (Once the dino is tamed it gains extra speed. Works with Flyers) -
I’m finally up to the quetzal taming pursuit, ive been looking forward to this for ages! I’ve killed and revived one before, but he got killed at some point without me realising it. So I’ve been planning on replacing him via this pursuit as reviving him is over 30 Amber. Amber I’d rather use for other things. with every one of these taming pursuits the search location has come up on the map, something that’s near essential for finding a quetz... but that isn’t happening, there’s no search circle on the map. There’s also no arrow on the hud telling me which direction to go. Am I missing something? Is there meant to be a guide on the map to help you find a quetzal? Or is this going to be one of the hardest pursuits EVER? i Really don’t want to spend days, weeks, months even, searching the skies for a quetz, I’ll probably spend the last of my amber to revive my old one if I have to, but I don’t want to ??

So my dad got me the full Ark and all dlc, never played it before and while it looks cool it's a bit daunting for me. I typically play story heavy solo RPGs of various types and the most exploratory type games I've played were things like Skyrim and Terraria and the only farm/raising critters games I've played were Viva Pinata and Slime Rancher mostly for the soothing adorable cuteness factor. I generally play on default/medium/average settings for these types of games, and rarely do I play any games with coop or online play enabled. My dad wants to play with me, which is fine, but I'd also like to have a game just for myself to explore and learn on my own because learning to play a new game with someone who's been playing for a long time is super anxiety inducing for me. Also, I don't want to totally sink all my time into this game... I'm in between jobs and without a vehicle out in the boonies at the moment so I have plenty of free time but I also play and run D&D games... And while my jobs are limited locally I might get a call for an interview at any time. Tl;Dr: noob, don't wanna let this game totally consume me, wanna learn how to play in solo, game kinda scares me a bit but looks cool enough to try, typically consider myself average skill level for games, any recommended settings?
