Selling paintings? Ok So I'm currently playing on an official "new" valguero PVE eu server and was wondering that if is there any way to sell paintings. Selling like going to a base place down canvasses there and ofc paint them. The only thing is that I cannot interact or do anything in other player bases, meaning I cannot paint. The question is that, is there any way of possibility to have an ability to build or just paint in other player's bases, ofc with their permission and understanding.

How does cloning a Dino on someone else's cloner work? How does cloning a Dino on someone else's cloner work? If I put my Dino on someone else's cloner to clone for them does it finish as mine and I have to unclaim it? Or does it finish as their's because it's their cloner? Official, PVE

ArkResurgence 7x 4man PVP Cluster ArkResurgence 4 Man PVP Cluster Freshly wiped as of Friday 7/10/2020, a new server with active non player admins with an extremely active community in game and on discord. Every map is in the cluster, white drops contain basic starters (hide armor, some stone structures), discord features an admin shop but the server is committed to being anti-pay-to-win. Discord: https://discord.gg/tVejrfz Search “Resurge” to join in on the fun! Rules: 4 Man tribes, no alliances, 4x cave damage, 7x rates including breeding and maturation

Anyone else getting extra copies of their Specimen Imprint every time they touch the oblisk teleport transporter?

Help Servers When i join on ark and go to official server only appear like 15 or 19 servers and someone told that official server are like 1000 or more so whats is the problem i dont put aanything on the filters.

Is the Basilisk tamable? On all maps? If not, why not?

After almost 2 years of constant breeding, every larger group now has incredibly mutated dinos that are nowhere close to what the game was originally balanced around. This means that dinos like Rhinos or Therizinosaurs deal much more damage and are much harder to kill than they were 1.5 years ago when the game released. Politically, the game is currently very stale, with alliances constant, no big conflicts and many people leaving the main cluster for others clusters or other games for a fresher and more exciting experience. A wipe would easily reset breeding back to its original state and bring these dinos back down to what they were originally, and bring back many players that have left over the last year. edit: im talking (mostly) about the Official PvP network, non-legacy, main cluster)

The state of Official PVP The original post I wrote on the /playark reddit can be found here. I would recommend you to read the reddit post as all images are missing on this forum post. This post aims to show all the issues with PVP in ARK which is right now not balanced for a fair PVP experience and to help Wildcard have a better understanding of the problems we encounter as player to better address them. The post is mainly influenced by my experience (more than 1.5K hours) on Official SmallTribes PVP and it is my personal opinion. I have divided the post by issues influencing the PVP experience with a description and explanation of each issue. I want first to quickly talk about what I think about Wildcard. While Wildcard can develop and produce amazing content the time they take to fix issues and the horrible balancing of some of the aspects of the game shows for me a lack of process or staff but also care. There are tweets of their CM saying they are not as big as X company so it's difficult for them which is understandable, but they should see that they are in the top 10 played games on Steam for years now, so maybe it's time to find a solution. GRAPHICS AND INI Graphics are not balanced for PVP and nothing is done about hacks. A lot of settings can be turned off to get a PVP advantage, having the game on low give you so much more visibility than Epic. This difference is understandable but the difference is so huge than no other PVP game come close to ARK. Managing the difference of low vs high settings in a PVP game is part of balancing the game and is done in all other PVP games like R6, Battlefield and more. In ARK, you can completely remove shadows, have insanely low view distance, remove ground clutter. Settings like Distance Field Shadowing, View Distance, Ground Clutter and Sky Quality should not be able to be completely turned off. They even allow to run the game with DX10 to remove as much visual effect as possible. Their bloom algorithm is also the worse I have ever seen in a video game, it makes the game almost unplayable with the bloom on. Key graphical components can be easily modified with a ConsoleVariables.ini file. This file can be modified by any user and give a big PVP advantage (removing underwater vision, plant x and z effects, leaves, shadows and more) and you can get it with a simple Google search. Almost all endgame players use it on official servers, it is not allowed by the CoC. But nothing is done by Wildcard to prevent editing of the file and only YouTubers / streamers using it can be banned because it is the only way for them to know it. This file should not be editable or only non key graphical component variables. The file is currently editable to allow lower-end PC to run the game but this is affecting hugely the PVP experience of PVP players. This exist for more than 3 years. ORBIT CAMERA OR "K VISION" A wall hack is available for all player in the game. The orbit camera allows player to see through the terrain and see things they should not be able to see. This for example makes it easier to see the defenses of a cave or the people attacking your cave. I have no idea how people at Wildcard think this is ok to have in a PVP game. The camera should react like it is with structures, not go through the terrain but slide on it, allowing you to see around you but not through the terrain. WEAPON HANDLING Weapon handling in ARK is one of the worse I have ever seen in any game. Reload animations are often glitched and are not in sync between first and third person view, start reloading in first person and move to third person you will see no animation. Same for the sound not in sync with what you see. The animation themselves are not in sync with the bullets in the weapon, you can see the clip being inserted in the gun but if you switch to a tool and switch back to the weapon, it will not be reloaded. HIT REGISTRATION / HITBOX Hit registration is also one of the worse I have seen in any game. Shooting fast flying dinos or just fast moving ground dinos often do not register with bow / crossbow or even guns. Using the compound bow on fast player only 1/3 of the arrows register and this is on a low ping server, it makes the weapon barely usable if your enemy is moving because it is not reliable. Some dinos with Tek saddles can also avoid turret shots and easily destroy them because the turrets just don't target the hitbox even with a clear visible in game line of sight. They plan to fix this point apparently. INFINITE MUTATION STACKING Dinos on official can have way too OP stats. You can mutate almost infinitely a stat on a dino. These breeding lines can take years to get. This produces dinos with insane stats and makes it almost impossible for people to join official PVP without similar lines forcing many players to buy tames to compete. Infinite mutation stacking is likely a bug and should not exist in my opinion and be limited to a certain number of mutation. DLCS DINOS DLCs dinos are not balanced for all maps and the game is pay-2-win. DLCs dinos can almost be used anywhere, this make the game somewhat pay-2-win. A new player joining the game and playing only with The Island (no DLCs owned) has almost no chance to compete with players using Managarmr or OP DLCs dinos. Wildcard knows that some dinos are OP on some maps (Managarmr not usable on Genesis for example). DLC dinos and more generally all dinos should be locked on the maps where they spawn and can be tamed. You can download or unfreeze them on other maps but not ride them to only allow breeding. I think it will make the game fair for all players and add diversity in PVP depending on the map. A setting like this could be disabled for PVE. ANONYMOUS PLAYERS Official PVP is a toxic place everyone knows that and Wildcard allows it. Players can be anonymous with character names like "123", "Human", " ", "Tribemember 123" and Steam name "123". People can come to your server, grief you and you will never know who this guy is and won't be able to find him except if you are lucky using tools to spy on connected players. Wildcard should here create a Wildcard account (like Rockstar or others game making companies) with unique name for every player. This also makes really difficult to track cheaters and exploiters. Destroying structure and using C4 does not log tribename or name. Again allowing griefers to do this anonymously. When a player is using the game in a language not using your alphabet you know nothing about him. You see only "squares" for their name, tribename and chat. It is impossible to know who is who. Wildcard seems perfectly fine with this. This is again something I have never seen in other multiplayer games. Insults are also not filtered ingame letting very toxic players free of saying what they want. Wildcard should automatically ban these words. This is once again something almost every other multiplayer game do but not Wildcard. SERVER PERFORMANCE Server performance is often bad. When a server is full and your base or others base start to get big, the ping can become really high in the server, making the game much more difficult to enjoy especially with some dinos and during PVP fights. Performance in ARK is a big problem and we will certainly wait years for visible improvements and the promises / advertising they made (DX12, DLSS. Ever heard about this Wildcard?). CUSTOMER SUPPORT The customer support is in my opinion sometimes terrible and even useless. The ticket status give you almost no information about what's going on. You can report exploiters and cheaters with proof (even reported YouTubers with clear use of INI on official) and see these players coming back or uploading videos with the same character after a ticket is "solved" and "closed". Insane waiting time for appointments but it is understandable knowing the state of the game and the number of tickets they have. The GM refuse to give you back your exact lost character with screenshot proof (Ascension, Tekgrams, Chibi levels) even if admin commands exist to do so when a character like that can take hundred of hours to level up and you lost it because of their bad system. Wildcard here is treating the players like sh*t, when you know you struggle with your game at least ensure your customer support is on point and can address problems you have in your game. MESHING, DUPING AND MORE Official servers have a high numbers of cheaters. I will be short on this one, if you play official you know. Meshing Duping Aimbotting DDoS Wilcard seems to have worked a lot to fix meshing and duping. But it still exists and a lot more still need to be done to address all issues. QOL I also want to talk about some QOL changes that could make official much better for players in my opinion. Being able to pickup any structures when you want through the option wheel, of course with a PVP timer. No timer on upload (after they have a robust Dupe Detection System, right now this timer is a workaround to prevent duping methods). Allow crop plots in all cave. Some caves can have crop plot (Oil cave) when some can't (all The Island cave). It makes no sense and give some cave a disadvantage. A smaller resources structure respawn radius. The radius right now is way too big and make it really hard for solo / small tribe players to hide small bases. Do not hesitate to give your opinion on these points and also share about things not in this post affecting the PVP experience for you. In every game the community feedback is important for improvement. Wildcard are sometimes listening as they seem to fix issues when content creators on YouTube to do a video about it, so share this post if you find it relevant.

Alt Food Raise Baby Wyverns Request we get an alternative food to raise baby wyverns besides mom milk or primal crystals. These are to hard to get on a crowded pve official server. Leave the mom milk and primal crystal just give us something else we could use to feed them as well. The wyverns are being over hunted.

EU-PVE-Official-TheCenter349 - Kicked by BattlEye/Password-Protected Dear Wildcard, our favorite official server named "EU-PVE-Official-TheCenter349" is from Saturday not playable! Me, my friends and other player from server 349 are kicked by BattlEye in few minutes from the server. This Official server is password protected and with wrong configuration. In Battlemetrics you can find this server as Unofficial and in Ark server list with PVP setting. In attached file you can find screenshot from ingame server list. I reported this server issue several times per ARK Official Server Outage Report... Sorry, but its 4th day and we dont see any progress in fixing the server issues. Its not first time when during ARK Event like Valentine Event has this server issues like today. Can someone tell me, when will be server playable again? Sorry, but i lose my patience, because with every new Event has this server same or similar server issues... I hope, you can fix our favorite server ASAP. Thank you! Best regards Royal Guard

Server outage I recently transferred my character to my center server ((xbox one) official ark center 92.) And not long after it went down. It's been 3 days now and still hasn't came back up. I do not see any discussion about this either. No warning. Some friends say that they were thinking about deleting center servers. I had no proper warning..... no announcements and now so customer service or anyone acknowledging the issue to that matter.. please fix official ark center 92 or allow me to download my character elsewhere? I have babies imprinted by this character that I have had to pod due to the fact that I want to imprint them for max potential. Its costing me a lot of wasted time.

Tek Tape Range for land bases I would like to discuss that Tek Tape are too strong atm / or since month or always you can say, because they have almost a range of 18 foundations while turrets on HIGH only shoot 20/21 i think thats redicules that you can Tapi rush towers buildings without soakers and destroy almost all tek turrets and hatchframes where turrets stand on. If you Mr/Mrs Wildcard want people to build on the ground again ground bases not pillars or Caves i suggest lowering the Range to at least below Medium range of turrets. I know that nerfing the tek tapi dmg was important aswell and a step in the right direction but pls consider that its the range that makes them op so i would like to suggest a change on the range of tek Tapies for your official Servers All to make the game more enjoyable for all of us who still belive caves are not the only Wae.

LF Join me on XBOX Official Ragnarok Hi there, level 72 solo player who plays on OC Ragnarok 111 i have 10 tames, 600 metal ingot, 400 Cementing Paste. Located in the desert. Looking for people to join me. Discord: CaptanAmericano#9467

Turn down speed of rock drakes & managarmrs. So people will not speed past you repeatedly on those mounts to crash your pc. Also, restrict the number of pets that are outside of cryopods. If a player has over 10 pets outside of cryo for more than a week all their pets should decay. So people will stop lagging up official with 100+ wyverns etc just sitting on their rooftops. They are not breeding them. They are not selling them. They are just leaving them there to sit no reason. Show off I guess. Almost always in a wide variety of colors. Lags the freak out of everything. Empty unused buildings on pve should be destroyed. There are players holding on to constructions and land that never use them. They log in to save their box from decay and that is the entire game to them. They are not playing ark. Just holding land never once using it. They have made huge laggy boxes out of stone and it just sits there. Forever. Empty. Unused. You would think they would have the sense to quit this game if they are not going actually play it. Giant boxes that lag the heck out of the server. Nothing in them. No smith. No cryo chambers. No rooms. Empty boxes. Why would you do this?

Teleporting is broken When teleporting between biomes in Genesis, it is possibly the riskiest thing you can do. You are plopped into a predetermined portion of the map, which could have very dangerous creatures that kill you upon spawning. This is magnified by the fact that transporting from one biome to another introduces a very large lag, which opens up a window for creatures to kill you while you haven't even fully spawned in yet. The problem gets even worse in PVP. Since there are only 8 places for someone to spawn in, people will wait at the spawn locations for teleporting people. The bright beam of light that shines when teleporting is extremely obvious and impossible to hide, not to mention that a bright illuminated bubble, complimented by a sound cue, is present when a player has teleported. This makes you a very obvious target. I had over 1k bloodpacks on me and teleported to the bog biome to tame a bloodstalker. Before I could even move or react or do anything, I was knocked out and all my blood and grapples were taking from me. Mind you I had not even fully spawned in and the first thing I see is the blurry screen of my unconscious character and someone rummaging through my items, taking everything. Even if I had teleported in on a giga or some other monstrous mount, this could not have been prevented, as teleporting kicks you off of your tame. Finally, teleporting takes you to the wrong locations constantly. I clicked on the bog biome to collect an inventory bag, and i was first teleported to the volcano, then lunar, then arctic, then the ocean, then the volcano again, then the arctic again, and finally to the bog. I was fortunate to even make it to my inventory bag. Please fix teleporting. It can be convenient at times but it is more nerve racking and scary than helpful. I'm always scared that i'm going to die the instant I spawn in. I beg of you, please do something about this.

offline raid protection LOOT Bags Please make bags not have an Offline raid protection. You blow into a base and they orp and the bags are not accessible! This is the most retarded thing i have seen. I saw a cryo fridge bag i couldnt loot cause of this.

Unable to transfer certain Dinos that should be transferable Bug: The dino(s) listed below are able to be uploaded but cannot be downloaded on another map as they appear grayed out, furthermore if you go back to the originating server and attempt to download them there then they also appear as grayed out and unable to be downloaded thus resulting in the dino expiring in the upload. Affected Cluster: PrimPlusCrossArk3 *Other clusters may also be affected* Below is a list of Dino's that are not able to be transferred to either a specific maps or any map within the cluster. *Note: The dino(s) cannot be downloaded on the originating server once you have connected to another server with them in the upload.* [ Dino Name ] [ Originating Map(s) ] [ Destination Map(s) ] Baslisk Aberration All Maps Anklyosaurus Center/Island/Ragnarok/Valguero Aberration Roll Rat Aberration / Valguero All Maps Bulbdog Aberration / Valguero Center, Ragnarok, Island Shinehorn Aberration Center, Ragnarok, Island Featherlight Aberration / Valguero Center, Ragnarok, Island Glowtail Aberration Center, Ragnarok, Island Rock Elemental Ragnarok / Valguero Center, Island Ice Wyvern Ragnarok / Valguero Center, Island, Ragnarok *Val Wyverns Only*, Valguero *Rag Wyverns Only* Poison Wyvern Ragnarok Center, Island Lightning Wyvern Ragnarok Center, Island Deinonychus Valguero All Maps This may be a partial list of dino(s) that are bugged and cannot be transferred. If you experience issues with other dino(s) or see something that needs to be corrected, then please reply to this thread so it can be documented and hopefully fixed by Wildcard.

Official Servers List Glitch I play on Windows 10 ark, and for some reason certain official servers aren't showing up, that show up for my xbox counterparts. Any suggestions or fixes/explanations for this? Edit: I can only see the crossplay official servers and small tribes. I cannot see the normal xbox official servers, I'm just curious if there is anyway to play on those servers on windows 10.

Aim Assist Aiming in ARK is very hard, especially for console players and using keyboard and mouse on console comes with alot of bugs and issues. I feel like an aim assist that SLIGHTLY slows down the aiming speed would be nice. Not something that locks onto players but that slows down the speed when you’re AIMING at tamed creatures and players. This option would of course be something you can turn on and off in the settings. Ps4 for example has no crossplay and there’s litteraly no one to bother with this. If it does, add it to all platforms. Pc players are of course going to be hating but please try playing with a controller before you speak.

Official PVE genesis tribe "Oasis" looking for members! Hi there! I currently am looking to open up my tribe to more people. I play on ps4 genesis and have a massive beautiful area in the Bog, a spot in the volcano biome with a lava lake/waterfall, and an island on the ocean biome (still needing to establish a presence in the arctic and lunar biomes). The ethos of the tribe is to be helpful and kind- try not to kill things unless it is in defense of self or others, and help other people in the server out when you can. (With the amount of creatures that try to kill you in the bog, you will never be short of raw meat and hide I promise you lol.) I have about 60 dinos so far. All tames are player owned, player ridden- but of course exceptions can be made with the owner's permission. All tribe tames are available to stud, but please ask before getting one of the females pregnant! (Unless of course it is your female- in which case breed away my friend). There are specific areas I can give you to build on, unless you choose to search the map to find something unclaimed. You are also welcome to just use the community facilities (still currently under construction). I am trying to be strategic with my foundation placement so important spawn points aren't destroyed. If you enjoy taming, breeding, farming, building, exploring, learning, or just enjoying this virtual space with other people hit me up! My goal is to get 2 decent level tames of each species, and explore this game fully to better understand it. Ps4 screenname: muhkenzie Shoot me a message and tell me about yourself!

GAME CRASHING AT THE WORST TIMES https://youtu.be/ePGq4YZSl9w I have been playing this game since the release. When I put movement speed in flyers and could zip around the map at mock 3. I’ve been to mega tribes, taken over servers, played solo, done it all on official. BUT FIX YOUR GAME BECAUSE I AM SICK OF LOSING TAMES. I know how to play this game, I’m excellent at playing this game. But when I lose my tame that I worked for because of the game crashing, I want to quit this game. In addition to losing a tame I might lose another tame trying to get in the awful spot the game made me crash in. In this video here I lose a bloodstalker to get to the middle of the ocean. I had to sacrifice the blood stalker in order to get my rock drake. But this all could’ve been avoided if the game just worked properly. I will be posting every time this happens to me but I’m giving it 2 more times and I’m done with this game completely. I’ve been a loyal fan and gamer to this community and how this game just destroys what you work for is ridiculous.

Consumables Trying my luck with making custom consumables, just not to sure how it works. I get the idea of it, but what do I have to do with the note? Do I have to write on it? How can I make my own recipes? How do you know how much of your ingredients to use? (Crops, meat, etc). Any insight would be great as I just learned this is a thing. Also being that I just learned this new info, no my crafting skill is not the best lol.

Transfers Question I was just wondering at what exact time on the 15th does transfers into Genesis open (PC) Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Console mods? can we get more official mods for console? we already have primitive + i would really like some more official mods added anyone else?

Genesis recruiting Looking for members to join small tribe genesis. Need experienced members to build up
