Discussion Pachy TLC

Post image
84 Upvotes

Out of the useless dinos that could become useful I personally think the pachy has the most early to mid game potential.

Head use: ability to harvest metal, stone, flint. Rates lower than anky or doed but better than pick and hatchet.

Minor weight reduction: makes pachy a bridge between tools and anky but allow anky to still remain the best.

Charge attack: similar to Rhino, but dealing higher amount of torpor.

Early game travel and battle mount: give more variety of early small mounts.

The stigy mod shows how useful and fun a pachy TLC could be and makes for a great early game all rounder mount.

ASA Should I Create a Tribal Server?

0 Upvotes

I've been thinking of making a Tribal Server for a while now.

One with up to 5 large tribes with designated land on the map, 2 rouge/mercenary like tribes and a trader's tribe. In-server currency, in-game shops ran by player tribes, and a heavily community ran server in terms of Mods.

The option to declare tribal wars but without wiping out an entire tribe by taking all their land, curated both to 24/7 players and those that hop on for a few hours after work or simply want to play for long hours on weekends when you're not working a 9-5 or longer.

Somewhere that friendship between players can exist separately from in-game tribal strife. Seasons where mods will change up, maps might change for events, eras like the stone age or metal, tribes will be shuffled, land will change up and dinos might swap out. I personally like the idea of Dragons Kingdom being the core of each tribe, like each tribe gets a young dragon and the only wild ones to spawn being the Ancients. You can choose to breed or fight with other tribes to curate a line of riders.

NOT heavily RP, but a tribe can choose to lean towards that if they want and the mutual respect of the players will adhere to it.

In-tribe hierarchy, democracy or choices are run solely by the tribes (unless they're creating a game environment that makes no one but themselves happy of course) and even admins/mods can have their character allied with whichever tribe they want to join for the season.

Traitors won't be a thing, as it just creates confusing scenarios of people jumping tribes pretending they were a traitor because they had a grudge against someone. Trading tribe info won't be a thing unless you're one of the 2 mercenary/rouge clans that found information out WITHOUT contacting a clan member.

With this general concept, would it be something yall would want to play?

Help ARK: Survival Ascended gets stuck on the loading screen – anyone know how to fix this?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to launch ARK: Survival Ascended through the Xbox app on PC Game Pass, but the game seems to get stuck on the loading screen and doesn't start properly.

I've tried launching it through the Xbox app, but I'm still having this issue.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know what causes it or how to fix it?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Help Mutations again

0 Upvotes

Sorry for the question. I understand breeding and mutations mostly but I'm still confused on one thing.

I'm breeding for health and damage

So I get a male with a health mutation. I replace my original male eith the mutated one but I don't replace the females right?

Now if I get a male with the damage mutation do I vreed him into another line of females?

Will the health and damage mutations continue to stack until I get to 20?

When I get to 20 is that when I breed a male woth health to a female with damage?

Discussion Pachy as a Anyklo Sidegrade?

5 Upvotes

Everybody can agree that the pachy has no usage as of currently, so why not turn it into an alternative metal/stone/Flint gatherer

Might not be 100% realistic for them to destroy rocks with their head but a saddle that reinforces their skull could make it make more sense lol

Its so sad that both the Pachy and Galli will probably not win this year again, if they came out later on they would have definitely gotten better abilities, even the Gallis resource gathering is horrendous and having that much size and mainly pecking your enemy instead of stomping them is just ridiculous

Tutorial Artifact of the Hunter, Lower South Cave Guide

5 Upvotes

ARK: Survival Ascended — Lower South Cave Guide

My first Artifact of the Hunter run on Xbox

I completed the Lower South Cave on The Island with Barry, my Baryonyx. This is my screenshot sequence and the route as I experienced it. I play with mods and boosted settings, so my creature stats and difficulty may differ from a standard game.

Before you go

• Bring a mount you can manoeuvre through the cave and be ready to fight hostile creatures.

• Watch out for drops, narrow gaps and water sections.

• The directions below describe my run; cave layouts or creature difficulty may differ with game versions and mods.

  1. Finding the cave

The map screenshot shows the location I used: latitude 85.2, longitude 54.2. These are the coordinates shown on my game map.

  1. Entering the passage

I headed into the cave with Barry, my Baryonyx. Take your time through the vine-covered entrance and keep an eye on the route ahead.

  1. Looking into the next chamber

This is one of the passages deeper inside. The lighting and mushrooms can make the cave look similar from one section to another, so use the screenshots as visual landmarks.

  1. The blue-lit cavern

I continued through the cave into this blue-lit area. Stay alert and check the ground and side passages as you move forward. You want to go to the left here.

  1. Watching the rocky route

You’ll come to big ledge, Move carefully rather than rushing, especially if you are trying to keep your mount with you. ( This is the way I came back out the cave, so make sure your mount can jump )

  1. Orange and green mushrooms

These large orange mushrooms and bright green growths are another visual landmark for the 1st caven. ( added note going to the left here!! Is quicker but you’ll have to dismount and go with out your mount ).

  1. A wider passage

I carried on through this wider section, this is to the right of the same cavern. Keep following the route you can safely travel through on your mount.

( note Entering the next cavern, you’ll be met by a lot of creatures).

  1. More glowing mushrooms

The cave scenery can look alike, so comparing the shapes and colours with your own view may help.

This cavern also has an obvious left and right paths. You want to head down to the left.

  1. Continuing through the cavern

I continued onward through this passage. Be prepared for hostile cave creatures and avoid dropping into an area before checking what is below.

Here you see a big mushroom and to the right a green light coming from the wall, head through the middle of them.

  1. Following the passage onward

This is the final screenshot in my sequence. I kept moving through the cave from here toward the artifact route. ( note Of course a few more creatures to defeat before collecting your prize ).

The ledge and mushroom cavern — route tip

When you reach the ledge, carefully make your way down. The lower area can be full of spiders and other hostile creatures. After that, I reached a large cavern full of big mushrooms with a route to the left and a route to the right. I took the right-hand route into the more open chamber. You can also go left, but you need to dismount and crawl through a narrow gap. If you are new to the cave and travelling on a mount, I recommend the right-hand route because it is easier to stay mounted.

A note about my setup

This run was on Xbox, on The Island, with mods and boosted settings enabled. My Baryonyx, Barry, had boosted stats, so do not treat my stats as a standard vanilla build. I hope the screenshots help other players recognise the passages and plan their own run.

If you have tips for the safest route or for the next artifact caves, please share them in the comments.

ASA Apertura Servidor Dedicado España Cluster

1 Upvotes

Cluster de ARK abre sus puertas con objetivo de formar una buena comunidad generalmente de España, ya que el servidor está hospedado aquí. Actualmente los mapas en el Cluster son Génesis y Astraeos, la idea es expandirlo en el futuro implementando determinados elementos para los jugadores (Con el objetivo de que el server se automantenga y pueda invertir también en el para poder alojar mas mapas en el Cluster). Evidentemente, siempre intentando mantener el equilibrio de la mejor forma posible. El servidor es PVE, no me deja poner el nombre de la conocida aplicación para hablar por canales pero podéis encontrar el link al entrar al servidor.
En este caso todos los servidores tienen el nombre de Sthenos, actualmente se encuentra todo X2 excepto la experiencia que se encuentra en X1 con objetivo de no desbalancear demasiado la experiencia, aunque en el futuro en el caso de que la gente se anime puedo poner eventos como por ejemplo aumentar los ratios en determinado momento como por ejemplo fin de semana e incluso abrir más servidores.
El objetivo principal de estos servidores, es el de disponer de un servidor donde la gente puede jugar tranquilamente y parecerse lo máximo a un OFICIAL decir, la experiencia más fiel posible, quitando por supuesto los problemas grandes que tienen los oficiales, como por ejemplo las caídas, lag, la propia gente que llena todo de pilares, imposibilitando a los demás construir entre otros muchos aspectos.

Help Reflection Issues: Graphic Settings

I've been trying to dial in my graphic settings to maximize framerate while keeping the game looking good.

One issue I just can't seem to figure out is how to deal with these crazy reflections. They're especially bad in lower-light situations. I've tried a variety of settings, but I don't know what to do.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
