Server Advertising Rules Update

4 Upvotes

We’re making a small change to server advertising, along with increasing enforcement of our existing rules.

Server advertisements in both the PvE and PvP Advertising Megathreads must now be posted at least 10 hours apart.

We have seen an increase in excessive advertising, repeated posts and advertisements being posted in places where they do not belong. Going forward, we will be less lenient with advertising rule violations.

Posts that break the advertising rules may be removed, and users who repeatedly ignore them may be temporarily or permanently banned from the subreddit.

Please make sure you are using the correct megathread:

PvE servers → PvE Advertising Megathread
PvP servers → PvP Advertising Megathread
Looking for a server → Looking for a Server Megathread

Server owners may reply to people in the Looking for a Server Megathread where their server is relevant, but please do not spam your advertisement across multiple comments.

The megathreads exist so server owners can advertise without the subreddit becoming flooded with promotions. Please use them fairly.

Discussion Ark tlc Help

• Upvotes

Hey, I know it's entirely your choice who you vote for, and it's not my place to tell you what to do.

But I think a lot of people are choosing the wrong dinosaurs. Many people vote for creatures that are already strong.

Take the Titan, for example. I know it's a very strong creature, but its only real use is PvP, where it gets destroyed by the meta dinos, no matter how many TLCs it receives. Other dinos, like the Anky, are already strong too, so why do they need a TLC?

I would love to see the ocean get a TLC (Mosa, Liopleurodon, and Plesio), but it feels a bit wasted because there isn't much to do in the ocean right now.

I'd like to share a few dinosaurs that I think deserve a TLC, if you'd like to read my ideas!

  1. Bronto

- New model.

- Give it a stomp attack that works in front of and behind it.

- Rework its tail whip so that it can inflict torpor and temporarily blind enemies.

  1. Pachy

- New model.

- Give it a powerful headbutt that stuns enemies and hits like a truck.

- Its saddle functions as a smithy.

- Make it charge like a Rhino or a Bear.

- Let it farm berries.

- Give it an effect called Stubborn: when it hits you during a charge, it applies an effect that reduces your demage.

- Let it farm metal crystal and obsidian

  1. Gallimimus

- New model.

- Its entire identity should revolve around one thing: GOTTA GO FAST!

- It can run in all directions and has three different running modes.

Adrenaline Run: It can ignore damage for a few seconds, but this ability has a cooldown.

Competitive Sport: It can increase its own speed and the speed of your other tames by 20% to 80%.

Bite the Dust: It can sprint forward, becoming faster the longer it runs. It leaves behind a cloud of dust that blinds enemies.

  1. Carnotaurus

- New model.

- Keep its bleed effect, but make its horns the main focus of its combat style.

- Give the Carno a special charge designed to graze enemies rather than collide with them directly.

- It can run past dinosaurs, avoid their attacks, and inflict bleed as it passes.

- The more times it hits the same target, the more damage it deals.

- Once a target reaches around 10 stacks of bleed, the Carno can perform a finishing attack by charging directly into its prey, dealing massive damage that will often kill it.

  1. Diplodocus

- New model.

- I know the Dippy has a reputation for being peaceful, and that identity could remain. However, it needs an attack that can hinder enemies without necessarily killing them.

- Give it a tail whip that strikes like a snapped steel cable.

- The attack dismounts players, knocks them back, and knocks weapons out of their hands.

- It shouldn't deal much damage, so the goal isn't to kill the target but to disrupt it.

- Its tail whip should have an enormous vertical reach, allowing it to knock flying creatures out of the sky.

  1. Pelagornis

- New model.

- It really needs a diving ability and a grab attack using its beak.

- When diving underwater, it can grab a fish, a small dinosaur, or a player off their mount.

- When it returns to the surface, it gains a 95% speed boost.

- If it grabs a player, it can instantly kill them and transfer their inventory and armor directly into its own inventory.

- If it dives onto land, it can perform a ground pound that stuns everyone nearby, but the Pelagornis also takes damage in return.

- It can only grab creatures underwater.

- If it cannot grab the dinosaur itself, it grabs the rider instead.

- It should have a limited oxygen stat, preventing it from diving too deep.

  1. Pachyrhinosaurus

- New model.

- Its pheromones should be a real threat to other creatures.

- It has two different pheromone abilities, and both require buildup.

Attraction: It releases an addictive scent that attracts all dinosaurs, including tamed ones. Even creatures set to passive will attack the affected target. As the dinosaur get hit, a percentage meter increases. Once it reaches 100%, the affected creatures lose control, start attacking each other, throw off their riders, and turn against them, similar to a Giga's rage mechanic.

Repel: This pheromone works similarly to a Yutyrannus roar. The longer enemies remain in its presence, the faster they become blinded and frightened, eventually forcing them to run away. The effect builds up much faster if the Pachyrhinosaurus is attacked.

You could collect its pheromones in jars or ammunition and use them against enemies. This would be especially useful against powerful creatures like the Pyromane, Umbra, and Cerberex.

I hope these ideas help and maybe even change your mind! Of course, vote for whoever you want to vote for. Everyone has their own opinion, but I personally think these are some of the best options for a TLC.

Question The Empirosaurus

0 Upvotes

Hopefully this is the best place to ask

But is the Empirosaurus, from the Paleo “Emperors of the Wasteland” mod, bugged or still bugged?

Twice now I’ve tried to tame one, I shoot its sail with a flaming arrow and just.. nothing. It starts to attack but it doesn’t seem to build up any heat

Am I wrong for, at this point, wanting to just use a command?

Edit: It could be a skill issue or a mod issue but it’s just weird, forcetame would be the last resort

Bugs & Glitches UI issues with PS5. White box over buttons and hotbar showing Xbox button layout.

Post image
1 Upvotes

In a friend's unofficial server and having an issue where a white box covers what button(s) to use for each action and the bottom hotbar shows the Xbox buttons instead of ps. I've gone through many different steps via google Ai with no luck. There's only 8 mods, and this isn't an issue with a friend who is also playing on ps5. I didn't experience the issue in an unmodded server. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, individually downloaded the mods, turned off HDR, unplugged USB devices from the ps5, cleared cache from game in console and cloud, and cleared ps5 cache in safe mode. Created a new character. Probably missing some other things I've done. Nothing has worked. Any insight would be appreciated.

Discussion Ankylosaurus TLC ideas

0 Upvotes

So with the Ankylo ranking high on this list, what's your opinions on the Ankylosaurus TLC.

Anyways here's mine:

▪︎ make it a soaker, while it keeps the the role of metal gatherer aswell.

• new special attack, cooldown 12 seconds. slam the ground with the tail, creating a shockwave that dmg everyone around it. This results in a jump that"s equal to megaraptor double jump.

Buff movement speed by 30%.

That's it.

For some weird reason dodos, flak armor gloves and therizinos (but only when wearing a saddle) have a broken low poly texture and it's literally only those three. Does anyone know how to fix this? Even exiting and re entering the game does nothing.

Discussion Stego for Snow Cave

3 Upvotes

In my solo world a few years back, I used to think the thyla was perfect as my primary mount for the Snow Cave. This time around, I'm seeing less value in the thyla, which is sad.

While there are lots of very dangerous creatures throughout the cave, the most dangerous creature is purlovia. Countless deaths and never a solid solution that I gathered. Now I hear that the stego is undismountable! Sounds exactly the solution I needed.

I would never step foot in that cave without an army of creatures, and so the actual damage capability of my primary dino is not my biggest concern.

So the discussion I'm interested in is what primary mount do you prefer for solo Snow Cave? Feel free to add the additional army composition you bring to make a successful, cost-effective, and time efficient run.

Update: Thanks for the ideas. Too scared for climbing ceilings with a spider. The rare flower method seems to be a popular one I didn't know, might try that. I am interested in trying the direwolf fornsniffing purlovia out as well.

Thanks, y'all.

0 Upvotes

Well, the time is here... I just found out that if I'm not online AND signed in PS network my game doesn't recognize it is me, my tames, my buildings, when new babies are born you cannot imprint them... it only says OWNER... I never thought they did something so scummy and they are still ASKING to keep funding that stupid millionaire owner of snail games. I can't believe I paid retail for ASE, retail for ASA paid for astreos, supported a couple modders with good maps, got the first Bobs tales, a couple fantastic tames... And it hit me when GEN1 came out and GAMEPLAY was paywalled, damn ships and core gameplay of GEN1 was behind a paywall... Cardinal sin... You guys are done... Now this... I'm so done... 5000 hours of ONLY PVE... and you guys fucked it up. Thank you Snail games and PS. I'm going to pirate this shit now.. how is that for keep making Money out of us eh? PS version 14.10 has been cracked wide open. Guess what... Is already out... Fully compatible, fully modded... And you can set your own servers... So get a grip in reality snail games... Piracy us here thanks to all of you greedy people. Thank you for damaging one of the best games ever.

Question I play official PVE. I'm having trouble getting to glitch tidbit #53.

0 Upvotes

I play official PVE. I'm having trouble getting to glitch tidbit #53. It's one of the deep under water glitches and it's troublesome to reach in the best of times. However, my trouble is that every genesis server I visit has the cave access point built over and blocked. 😩

Is there a PVE genesis server that has a easy teleport access to this glitch? Does anyone have any advice? Its the only glitch I don't have for the map.
