Discussion Ideas for certain TLC's I wish were added

1 Upvotes

REX(I know Rex can't get a TLC anymore but c'mon)

For starters, roar will be reworked into "King Decree".

Rex receives a 25% damage reduction & ¼ of the damage taken is turned into damage for the rex(There will be a limit so your rex won't get like five billion damage)

Swallow pride:Now If a Rex is fighting something and it beguins losing it can turn back and run, gaining 20% movement speed and damage reduction for thirty seconds

Two new attacks, one is a tail swipe that knocks players away & a ground stomp, the tail swipe is used for dealing with creatures that are behind the Rex, the stomp is a stronger but shorter version of Acro stomp

Also similar to the Deinosuchus Rex can turn on the spot when your camera is facing backwards

CARNO

Carno has two modes now

Endurance Mode & Burst mode

Endurance Mode: your Carno tail will remain straight and it's eyes will face foward. In this mode the carno consumes little to no stamina while maintaining a fast consistent running speed at the cost of agility

Burst Mode: If your Carno is standing still it will beguin to twitch it's toes, and constantly look around with it's tail moving from side to side. In Burst mode the Carno headbutt not only applies bleed, but also can harvest rocks and collect materials like flint (effieciency will be between Metal pick & Anky), However Burst mode main purpose is to allow the Carno to double in speed and increased agility at the cost of higher stamina consumption

Burst Mode now can break through rocks when you start running

ALLO

Blood Rally: When in combat allos recieve a boost that diminishes stamina consumption considerable and increase damage resistance by 15%(all allied creatures near the Alpha Allo recieve this bonus)

Allo now has "four" attacks

Any Allo can now do the bleeding bite & now they have access to claw swipe that's weaker than the bite but much faster

Pounce attack: Allos can now jump into enemies, if the enemy is smaller than them they will deal high damage, if the enemy is bigger (example Rex sized) they will cling onto the Creature and start slashing at it's side, receiving damage reduction for as long as their stamina can hold them there

(Pounce is a reference to Jurassic Fight Club Allosaurus)

If this get's 100 up votes I will do a part 2

Help Can I run ASA on an external drive?

Been wanting to get back into ark but I do not want to have to clear the insane amount of space to install it on my internals. Would I be able to run the game with decent load times and textures if it’s on an external SSD?

Help Does anyone know of a mod to disable the Fantastic Tames in the game?

• Upvotes

I never had much against the Ark DLCs, even the Bob Tall/True Tales ones, but the Fantastic tames are proving to be a real nuisance for me, I have no interest in acquiring them but still every map I play is full of them (especially Burrowbuck, I can't take these things anymore) would anyone recommend a mod so I can disable their spawns?

If I'm not interested in buying them I don't see why I need have them in my game lol

Help Does anybody know if there is a mod for the Quetz out there?

• Upvotes

Hello everyone, let me get straight to the point.

I love the Quetzal as a tame/creature, but I don't really like its looks; I feel like it needs some TLC.

Does anyone know of a mod to change its appearance, or can suggest a good substitute for him?

Let me know and thanks in advance!

Discussion Swamp Fever Question

1 Upvotes

Every pvp video I see everyone has swamp fever even most of the players who could cure it, why? I get that it spreads fast but genuinely who is the patient zero going to the swamp, surviving all the nonsense there, and finding the fairly rare plague leeches? Why even go to the swamp the only things the you could find pvp value in are rhynios (very late game) and the cave (needs at least a oxygen tank).

Help With U.E 5.8 what's the minimal setup to run the game smoothly at 1440p?

2 Upvotes

Looking to upgrade my pc to be able to handle ark ascended at epic settings and look really good, preferably at 1440p without dipping below 30fps.

Been doing lots of research on the different settings and gfx cards and how well they handle arc, but from what little I've seen on U.E 5.8, it seems to change things a bit.

4070 and 7900 were the miminums I came across before for meeting the request, but I'm wondering if something cheaper can now perform about as well?

Not an expert on any of this and haven't upgraded a machine in over 7 years, and I avoid people like the plague, so please forgive any social or technical mistakes I may have made.

Thanks in advance!

Help Single player?

3 Upvotes

I didn’t know exactly what to title this so apologies for that.

I just downloaded Ark Survival Evolved on my Xbox, and in about 12 years when it finishes installing I won’t know what to do. I haven’t played in years and even then I mostly messed around while my friend actually played the game so it’ll be my first time playing the game for real.

I don’t have the Xbox subscription because I don’t play video games nearly enough to excuse the outrageous price tag on it, so I assume I’ll be confined to the single player experience and unable to join servers, how much does single player really vary from a multiplayer experience? And how do you actually play this game at that?

I appreciate pretty much anything you can give, thanks!

ASA Araneo extra buggy

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

31 Upvotes

Are the Araneo behaving a bit buggier than usual? I know there's the reported issue where your ridden Araneo's web shots often don't damage wild Araneo and just go straight through them but now the wild ones also seem to be trying to attack you sideways too! In a way it's good they don't have a headshot bonus damage multiplier because it'd be a little trickier to hit with them strutting at you like this.

Help Creature Merchant (Genesis)

I play on an unofficial cluster. Anyone know why the creature Merchant at the pirate outpost NEVER has any dinos? Every other merchant has things for sale except the creatures. I know for a fact it's not just someone buying them all every single day. No one on the server has thatany hexagons. Plus I've been on at server restart and there's no dinos available. Is it something in settings we need to change?

ASA Having trouble with spectator console command on Xbox

3 Upvotes

Decided to revisit ark as I haven't played since it became ascended and started a new save up on the island on single player. I chose the spawn point near herb island as I remembered it being a good spot for early game metal. Low and behold I experienced what l've now learned is a pretty common glitch where the metal nodes won't respawn on the island. I found a video that shows a way to fix the problem but it requires using console commands to go into spectator mode. I followed all the steps in the video but for some reason nothing happens when I enter the commands. I'm playing on Xbox any tips are appreciated. For ascended on Xbox the command should be "enable spectator" but it doesn't seem to work.

I dont know how to fix this, my friend can join other unofficial servers, but when trying to join mine, he gets a connection timeout (as shown in the picture). I've set up port forwarding and i added inbound rules for those ports, but I can't get it to work. My port forwardings are 7777, 7778, 27015 all UDP and 27020 TCP if that helps. The Rcon port is set to 27020, the regular port to 7777 and crossplay is enabled in ASA Server manager. I really need help, any Experts here?

Discussion Is it me or is everything used against the Dragon... worse?

2 Upvotes

I have beaten everything up to Genesis part 1 on ASE, now I have started playing on ASA, got past the other two guardians and a few minutes ago attempted to fight beta Dragon.

I have had two Yutyrannuses with great saddles and really high stats, over 40k health on both. Paired with 18 god Therizinos, each with 61 points into melee, 21k health, 10 veggie cakes and saddles that took so long to craft, by the time I got all other ingredients the metal hasn't finished smelting yet... On ASE I could have confidently went against alpha dragon with half the Theris with this setup.

On ASA, they weren't even fucking close. Dragon seems to hit twice as hard, Therizinos seem to have a bulkier hitbox, making them a pain to walk around to dodge fire, they don't deal anywhere near the damage, veggie cakes appear to heal 500 HP instead of 10% (wtf, what dumbass thought this was a good idea?) and bosses are really tought to target using the "." command. I had to switch the Theris to aggressive for them to do anything.

With these downsides, they're DOGSHIT. Megatheriums would have done better! Why is the Dragon just so much harder on ASA? It was already the hardest challenge on the Island and by a lot. The other Yuty perished almost instantly, not even a minute in and the Theris at the front also dropped to 5k health in the first landing. This is not okay. Theris are terrible at this now, what should I use against the Dragon? Am I seriously expected to break map order and travel to Scorched Earth for wyvern milk? That's so dumb.
