F key should open inventory when not on dinosaur We can all get behind this one! (those of us on the PC version or those on console that use a keyboard) The F-Key should open the Inventory (I key menu) when the player is off of the Dino and not facing it... seems like a logical thing to do when I find myself instinctively reaching for and pressing the f key to open the inventory to have it do nothing! Don't know about you but I find it quite frustrating especially when being attacked and you need to make a quick change! Vote this up if you agree and lets make a lasting change that will help to make this game that much more playable Have a great day all

A New Voting System The voting system right now is not good. It is dare say bad. It is unpolished and needs to be worked on. Here are a few suggestions. The Front Page I propose we start off with the front page. I've noticed that all or most of the suggestions on the front page right now have been there since the beginning of the voting systems implementation. The same suggestions have just stuck up there at the top. This is why I request that a moderator (ehh possibly a bot) wipe the votes for all of the suggestions every few months (maybe 2 months?). By the way, not the suggestions, the votes. The reason I suggested this be done is because right now suggestions with the most votes appear on the front page, unlike before the voting system when the most recently updated posts appeared on the front page. I arguably like the old system better with the front page, as the new one basically doesn't let anyone get there pages to the front as of now, and I can see these pages right now probably staying up there for months to come. Users also barely switch from most votes over to recently updated in the suggestion forum, and this makes the new posts harder to get to the front. Thus the votes be wiped every few months. Upvote and Downvoting I believe the current voting system is far from accurate. Users are not able to downvote a suggestion, being only able to upvote. This simply means players who dont agree with the suggestion have to deal with it. With the inclusion of downvoting, the votes for suggestions could become far more accurate as users who do not agree with the suggestion are able to simply downvote it. On the counter-argument that downvoting allows users to create tons of throwaway accounts to downvote with, users can, and have, been doing that with the upvoting system as well. Early Birds Can't Vote I believe users with the rank "Early Bird" should not be allowed to vote on suggestions, up or down. This would stop users from creating throwaway accounts to mess up voting. Putting a simple addition like this in place would help a ton to stop votes from being messed with. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I believe simple features like this would make the voting more accurate, more user friendly and make posts more easily accessible. If a moderator of the forums sees this post, I hope you take this into consideration if you ever decide to change the voting. Sincerely, jamescoolcrafter15

As an RP Server Owner on ARK, I’ve always been a fan of the addition of Meks, Titans, Exotic Tames, New Structures, Mechanics and Explosions! However, after seeing the King Kaiju in Extinction and that Titans were uploadable, I tried to tame and ride it as an RP Element on the Server. However, after taming the King Kaiju it still acted Aggressive and I couldn’t ride it. This was a let down. The topical discussion is on whether or not it would be a good idea for the King Kaiju to be Rideable via ForceTame command. It would definitely in my opinion make the game far better in its addition to RP Gameplay as well as for the Mega Mek. Yes, while they are powerful, what if they were only tameable and able to be kept by spawning them in on ANY Ark and using them via Admin Commands?

A small list of QOL ideas for ark ingeneral i contacted ark support and Ced on twitter idk if he has seen my messages or not cause no response however i do know he said something about not responding doesn't mean ur ingoreing i am only posting this here just for it to be here just incase and sorry if i am being bothersome i dont mean to be but these are the ideas i have for QOL changes SE saddles for SE creatures in extinction should be learnable hopefully more tlcs for creatures such as lymantria's cause the dossier says it can create silk but yet it doesn't and can't even interact with berry bushs ect: given it can't attack a command that u can type in if u have cheats enabled will be helpfull if the player has died and wants to retrive there inventory items just incase they arn't getable by any means would be rlly helpfull not just for myself cause of a certain situlation i am in right now but defintly for others or perhaps a machine kinda like steampunks chairchamber thing would be rlly helpfull Also maybe add in oviraptor spawns for SE and some other dinos that probably should of been in there like stegosaurus,allosaurus,dimetrodon aswell would be nice~ Cannons show the direction they will fire at directly when useing them can also be very helpfull with aiming at targets such as karkinos,building structures at the weakest spot and other concussion tames I forgot this but can the rest of the tek dinos be released?... like the tek giga,tek trike and tek mosa? that are skin items? i was hopeing doing the last of the extincition chronicles that they'd be released with the tek quetz but didn't happy since each update had one new tek released and explorer note with a colored creature event wich i did enjoy and im sure others did to. the current list i saw on that google sheets looks rlly good and great job Ced for it ill probably update this when i have more ideas for now this is all i can think of thanks wildcard and gluck~! : )

New tek saddles and updates for useless creatures I think that we should get new tek saddles or new tek creatures. A tek saddle for the giga would be cool, or saddle for wyverns. Also, I feel like the diplodocus should do damage, it's completely a waste of time taming it if it can't do damage. The moth really needs an update, maybe it can deal torpor damage or have another attack where it can actually deal damage? Wyvern should be breedable, I love wyverns but it's a pain going into the trench every time you want a wyv, they should also be able to glide. What do you think?

Also i hope at least 1 of these get added

Just a list of things i'd like to see in Ark If you dont mind reading, here's some things that i'd like to see in ark. Some of these I'm sure might be almost impossible with the current game's coding and how janky the mechanics would be, but I just think these are some things i'd like to see and my opinions on certain changes and whatnot. To start off, i personally like the old rex model before the TLC better. I don't know why but I guess the face looks more appealing to me. I don't know if anyone else has the same opinion. There are also some things i' d like to see that might add some more realism into the game. For example, -Being very close to some types of ally dinos would provide warmth, even in hot places. -taking off with a flyer may need a small run up animation, to catch air instead of just taking off (though this may not be all that helpful for situations like trapping or pvp) -wild dinos make more ambient noises as you come closer, especially herbivores as they would become more anxious/on guard -STARVING OR DYING OF DEHYDRATION DOES NOT CAUSE YOUR LEG TO BREAK -more dino calls, like threatening or forecalling and dino crouching, or laying down to regain stamina faster (though this may be hard to implement on console, but it could have some button shortcuts, or use d-pad) one i'd especially like to see is a sarco hiss -like I've stated before, the egg gender ratios with certain frogs and crocodilian dinos -more realistic behavior in the AI, which would include the different calls and pack hunting -higher horse jumping! Because horses jump higher than they do in ark. Do be honest the height of an equus jump is just depressing. Atleast have like deinonychus jump height -wyvern gliding and please give some flyers at least a nerfed Griffin ability -a scent ability on some carnivores that could track wild creatures (shown by a line on the ground or footprints), and footprints in general -some dino resistance if you're about to jump or walk off a cliff, such as a split second slow in walking. This could save alot of lives -feathered dinos that use feathers for flying or gliding would have to wait for their feathers to dry after being in rain or water (this could be just a few seconds or could be changed in settings) or a shaking animation could come in to dry off faster. I really like this idea, and since birds can't go into the water (like argies) in rain they would get wet and couldn't fly as well. You might see alot of players not flying in the rain or just standing around waiting for their birds to dry after a rainstorm -wet feathers and fur - your dino automatically swims to the surface if it is in deep water, because real animals aren't just going to sit there until they drown because you didn't tell them to swim -small blood trails if a dino is injured badly -.....why can you ride a phoenix..... -in constant extreme conditions your fortitude slowly raises due to becoming used to those temperatures, and when exposed to the opposite it immediately starts to go down -all dino eyes reflect light in the dark, while troodons and other dinos who's eyes glow in the dark just glow, somehow there could be a difference you could see -being able to pet all of your dinos! I'm sure there's more that I just haven't thought about at the moment. Now don't get me started on S+. I honestly just really want S+ features to be in vanilla ark, especially for us console players who don't have access to it. Ark building can be really frustrating and really hard. There are also some building materials that aren't available on regular ark that would work so much better. I hope you agree with me on some of these and feel free to add on or argue with them.

Give TEK structures a "transparent" option Currently greenhouse structures are the only structures available if you want to make see-trough walls for a nice looking base, or building. The issue is, due to their extremely bad structural integrity it's a bit of a pain in the ass to use them, as even on PvE the tail swipe of some random bronto fighting nearby may tear down half your base walls if you use them a lot. I'd love to see TEK structures getting the option to be turned into "transparent" mode, similar to how you can change foundations to "default" and "block" to alter their visual appearance, being able to do that would provide the ability to have nice visuals without fearing even the weakest creatures randomly breaking your walls - and in my opinion it makes sense too, as TEK is such a highly advanced tier of structure. Would be nice to just have a very thin frame with the original TEK structure textures and the center of the structure being either completely transparent (like clean glass irl) or at least as transparent as the greenhouse structures in the game now.

Ark new content for 10k+ hour gamers suggestions Ark has been over the last 3 years+ on the top 20 most played game list in steam. Most importantly is not only the amount of player but the amount of hours each player puts on the game. Needles to say, even though Ark is not a perfect game by any means, it does mean they are doing something right. However, the question is,"what does this mean for the future?" Ark devs are in a bit of a predicament at the moment as Atlas is suffering a massive loss of players daily thanks to dividing what was meant for Ark into another game. From 50k players playing Atlas daily is now down to 4k. On the other side Ark has maintained about 30k+ players daily over the past three years which is both a lesson in "this is what happens when you try to be greedy and a lesson on this is what happens when you create something great all in one drink". Ark's future seems bright and that is thanks to the massive amount of content they have developed for this single platform. From building, taming, and the simple yet elegant character progression. Yet, we need something new soon. Ark is not in any trouble by any means of losing its audience. But there is clearly something missing. And that is motivation for high leveled up players. After 100 hours you will find your self with a level 100+ character asking your self, "...and what is next?" you will quickly realize that there is nothing keeping you playing other than breeding and friends. And that is if your friends play as often as you. Here are some suggestions about what to add to keep high leveled up players interested: 1. new cave on existing maps with rewards at the end of the caves (New items). 2. Add new DLC that creates a new way to play ark. Stay away from pvp/pve mentality and think maybe more quest oriented or objective oriented. 3. Play with ideas such as having new economy system or markets where players can sell and buy things from ingame vendors. 4. Bring an actual boat system to ark. 5. New bosses. We need more bosses within the island that are more challenging. Perhaps some areas such as "Carno island" should have things roaming that are far more dangerous than a carno or a rex. And let it be more aggressive. And dont forget to give a nice reward after killing it. :3 6. Make element transferable. (i am still to this day amazed how is that not a thing). 7. New tools would be nice. Landscaping tools...many sandboxes have terrain tools...why not this one? 8. MAil system within players...this was already shown in one mod already...why is this not a thing yet? 9. New tek tier would be nice. a more expensive tek tier but that consumes less element. Would help players in both pvp and pve keep a faster action pace. 10. Dinos need special abilities...after 1000+ mutation dinos dont change much. Perhaps, we need a new level of mutation. Maybe an extra skill or a random change in size... These are some of my ideas...what are yours? XD Here is the most played steam games in case you are looking to see what are the most populated steam games around. https://steamcharts.com/top

Firstly I'm just going to jump to it Dino's I would like to see added to ark: Pterodactyl, brachiosaurus, corythosaurus, minmi, notoceratops, protoceratops, yangchuanosaurus, nothosaurus, protosuchus, anatosaurus, avaceratops, becklespinax, camptosaurus, ceratosaurus, herrerasaurus, heterodontosaurus, lesothosaurus, ouranosaurus and prosaurolophus If I kept going we would be here for days I just want to see more Dino's its not everyday u find a fantastic game the revolves around Dino's. Also I would like to see allot more things to craft like furniture possibly terrariums or even dino heads or ways to put dinos on the wall for eg a sabertooth salmon possible way to make wires in generators a bit more neater Now I'm just going to mention minor stuff possibly more TLC updates for Dino's possibly more mythic creatures like manticore honestly would love to see a tameable hydra or Minotaur oh and would love to see dragonpunk hit console that's a long shot but would provide something to entertain before or after future updates

I and many other official pvp players believe the Tek rex needs a balance check, it is capable of killing giga riders and tames while outside turret range and can reach over 100k hp on official server as of now. We just had 10+ tek rexs pelting our fob and there was pretty much nothing we could do about it. Imagine trying to fob an extinction server where tribes can farm thousands of element and sit outside of your turret range and shoot you and your tames constantly... Not fun

I am part of the Admin Tribe of an unofficial PvP PC server (I play on Xbox One). We do not raid, we mainly just build cool stuff and observe the chaos around us. The server message states that admin should not be attacked under any circumstances (as we are peaceful - and of course, have God-like powers, so what would be the point?) and we have recently built some communal settlements for anyone to use and enjoy. THE QUESTION is: What would the people of Ark would want in their game? What would be useful as a communal place? Here's what we've come up with so far... In one desert settlement, we have built: A fighting arena big enough for for a couple of gigas to battle, including tiered seating, a snack bar and coloured light displays during the action. An inn, "Ye Olde Pube", with a bar serving beer and water downstairs and guest rooms upstairs. A market where people can shed any unwanted resources and pick up someone else's through a swap/sell system. A Mall including a pet shop, weapons store, camping store and garden store, as well as a bulk buy area where you can order goods en masse (goods that aren't stored on the premises to avoid raids) A restaurant with fully functioning kitchen and upstairs seating with views over the settlement and out to the desert. Now inevitably, half the pub and some of the mall have already been blown up. We have shields and tek gates in parts that need more security, but most of it is stone and wood because we find its more aesthetically pleasing for our building style. We know its PvP and people are always going to blow your stuff up, but do you have any suggestions for how to try and dissuade people from doing that? We ban those who attack admin but we don't want to have to do that. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Old Gregg

Long story short, I'm a seasoned Ark player on Xbox One, and am looking for something new and different. After 5200+ hours of game time, the base game has become rather stale. While I am aware my question is very much dependent on personal opinion, I'd like to know the general concensus on Primitive Plus. Its very important to me that the game mode is relatively polished, and gives a sense of progression. That said, I have a few questions about the mode. What maps are ideal for Prim+? Any recommendations for server settings and whatnot? And is there anything I should know going into Primitive Plus, knowing nearly nothing about it? Thanks in advance for any opinions or suggestions.

Titans are broken and too easy to get. they have completely changed the way you play the game on extinction and not for the better. hiding in stone 2x2s in caves with a 6x6 metal prefabbed in it is no way to play the game. if i could make any suggestion for how to make them less overwhelming and more fair... 1) add a papers, scissors, rock style format where each titan is weak to one and strong against another. 2) limit each tribe to one titan on a server. this (paired with the above) would change the nature of titans. Titans are currently a must have for the bigger tribes. This would hopefully make it so that they are a reactionary tame and not one that is kept on a cycle. Whoever tames the first titan would be at an immediate disadvantage because someone else could choose the one that is strong against it. 3) allow all players to know when the titans will be de-spawning. 4) make the titans hard to manage. these are huge creatures after all. titans could give debuffs to nearby allied and friendly tames similar to a Yuty or even have some sort of corruption sickness that they could pass on to nearby dinos almost like the swamp fever of earth.

There are 5 official pvp servers with 6 man tribes. They are all capped at 70 players 90% of the time

I've been playing on the Small Tribes servers for a couple months now and am enjoying it. Interactions involving PvP have been more fair as far as numbers are concerned. The 6 man limit has kept tribes from becoming "70 player, military-industrial, powerhouses" that are common elsewhere and also keeps attacking tribes from "slot capping to win". It still happens unofficially, but I personally don't care. Every step of progress my tribe has made has been driven by us, and that's a good feeling. Overall it's been a good experience and I'm having g a blast. What are the thoughts of the Community? Does anyone have any suggestions to make the experience better that we, as players, could implement ourselves? Also, how does the Community interpret the "no teaming" rule? I always hear a lot of whinging when it's broken, but since it's so open for interpretation, nobody really knows when it's actually broken. While on the subject, if Tribe A declares that, for whatever reason, they are defending Tribe B against Tribe C, and Tribe A takes over PvP for Tribe B, then is that breaking the rule?

Can you add a feature which allows you to make your tame roar by whistling? Sometimes people lure my tame away and I can’t find it, and when I whistle “Follow” It says my tame heard the whistle, but isn’t following me because it’s probably stuck. This feature can help you locate your tame by listening to the direction the roar sounded, so that you don’t have to keep looking around!
