That's pretty sick!
Appreciate it. Is there any way I can PM you the name of someone on discord claiming to be a Classic PvP admin and you can tell me if that's true or not? (It's not some random guy, I have pretty good reason to believe he's actually part of the enforcement team but there's no way for me to make sure).
DM away.
All PC/Console Support and Enforcement tickets go through the same form and are routed accordingly by us.
https://support.survivetheark.com/hc/en-us/requests/new# -> Report Abuse for Enforcement matters. Be sure to specify that it is a Classic server.
Well dont TELL people, than they'll fix it.
IT IS TOO LATE! I saw EVERYTHING!
Imagine if you guys spent this amount of time dealing with tickets and problems in the community/fixing the game instead of memeing on Reddit
I doubt things would work out if we only spent three minutes dealing with tickets and problems in the community/fixing the game.
Hello! We're investigating this.
hmm can someone go reboot him, seems stuck in a loop :P
Hello! We're investigating this.
Wait, is he?
I dunno. This dude looks sketch to me.
Now i know why all the servers are so laggy, someones running scripts on them. EXPOSED. ;)
Actually what I do causes zero lag, but a magician doesn't reveal his secrets. :D
Hmm, already pondering how to spawn 40k of any specific dino. I assume you disabled all other spawns, and then told it to only spawn thylas and used ark breeding program to import the map and view what all the wild stats were?
What? Naw. Why spawn dinos when I can check all the existing ones on live servers? They're already there.

That was just for Thylas.
I have to ask. Did you really scan ~38000 Thylas on official just to answer my question?
If it makes you feel better I already had them scanned but I did build the query of that data just for your question. :D
Pre-tame finding a level 40 would be nearly impossible. I scanned ~38000 thylas on official and none spawned wild with 40 points in any stat. However, after taming those levels could easily push them above 40.
Thanks, I hate it.
Either way, you're officially the cool dev in my eyes now. 😉
Woo!
Thank you !
About NPC crewmates, do you mean that you can't recruit any NPC on a private server ?
You can recruit them. Was just saying that you will likely need them as opposed to them being optional.
I know all of your (legit) ARK secrets!!! All of them. Now if I can just get someone from WC to tell me how overdamage is actually calculated for dinos and confirmation that it doesn't exist for humans/mantis, that'd be dandy... Trying to silence everyone telling me having more than 500% melee on an anky gets better results. EDIT: The only official thing from WC ever stated on the topic is a patch note from years ago and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe a video showcasing why using narcoberries to keep a tame knocked out is almost always better than using narcotic/ascerbic mushrooms/biotoxin? I've gotten into forum wars over this topic. Narcotic/Biotoxin are only better when weight is an issue or in some cases when the dino has an extremely long torpor drain timer, like on a rex. If you KO a giga, it has only a few minutes before it stands up. It also has a MASSIVE torpor pool. Feeding it 100 narcotic induces 4000 torpor. Feeding 500 narcoberries induces the same 4000 torpor. The difference is that narcotic induces the torpor over 12.5 minutes, the narcoberries do it over 25 minutes (5 minutes per 100 berries). When torpor is going up, it can't go down... so, let the giga drop to 1,000 torpor (it will have 20k+ max torpor) and dump a ton of narcoberries into it. The giga will be unconcious for over an hour without having to worry. Sulphur taming a golem? Takes what, like 4-8 hours depending on the server settings. They have a huge torpor pool and slow torpor drain. Let them drop to 100 torpor and fully narcoberry them. You'll get 2+ hours of torpor up before the 1 hour of torpor down again.
Now, weight can be a big issue with some tames, like gigas being tamed far from base or for taming underwater dinos like Mosa's. Carrying 2,000 narcoberries requires 200 weight to deliver 16k torpor... 400 narcotic does it in 40 weight.
Works great on spinos (only need to narcoberry a 150 spino once, plus a little extra and you can forget about it for an hour).
Narcotic and Biotoxin deliver torpor at the same speed. Ascerbic delivers torpor twice as fast as narcotic/biotoxin.
Shhhhhhhhh
My opinion is clearly biased but I think you'd get enough fun playing with one or two players. Some things would definitely take a lot of time to do and some things would be more complex to handle without NPC crewmates to assist you but they can be done. The exploration alone and sailing along has always been one of my main draws to the game and if you had a several node server to play on where you could just sail along and explore I think you'd have plenty of fun.
I concur, that is ridiculously elaborate. It looks sweet though!
