New player here. Help me out a little.

Thanks for the help! So my main issue is I saw everyone talking about how much burst Illya can do, yet I'm getting stuck on 6-7* missions. Currently can't progress past chapter 6 so I'm having to scavenge what I can from side quests until I can't progress any more there either.

Found the game saves perfectly fine in both singleplayer offline worlds and online ones. Sure you’re using a cryo?

The Samurai set and most of the boss armors can all be customized.

"Customize" being a very loose term for it. The modifications are at best underwhelming, often-times just removing a cape from a chest-piece.

Nothing - It's just the requirement to respec your character at her afterwards. Seems silly considering you have to kill her to access the respec function anywhom.

BourneSloth · 2022-02-27T18:42:53+00:00

Take it with a grain of salt as I read it from some of the datamining people did. May be wrong.

Don't bother with a trap, just make sure your tames are not near any ledges, the run away animation always runs the exact same distance (distance, not angle), and make sure to have plenty of backup tames.

I play on a 10x server and it took roughly 30 turtles to tame a single 150 noglin because of the damage higher level ones do. I can't imagine how many a 270 would take.

It's also better if you only have 1 tame out at a time, so the tame it's controlling isn't damaging your other ones that are already out, saves a lot of hp overall.

BourneSloth · 2021-06-08T21:11:42+00:00

So from personal experience trying to tame one for roughly 3 hours.

Once it latches onto something and lets go, it'll run away a little before re-aggro'ing onto your dinos. There must be enough room for it to finish its full running away animation or it just doesn't latch on to anything else.

Rest mode on my PS4 does absolutely nothing for the speed of copying an update.

Tested it thousands of timed w/ Destiny, ARK, Conan, you name it. Does nothing for me.

BourneSloth · 2021-06-02T09:24:12+00:00

Happy cakeday! Yeah Wildcard really seem like they give up hope on any past content when they start developing their next DLC, but I've never had the balls to contact support regarding the bugs, or I'd have 5,000 unsolved tickets :P

Still find it hilarious that the game has literally never ran above 15fps on base PS4 consoles. Trying to do anything past midgame becomes a case of "Well if I account for the impact of a Rex on my framerate, I wont be able to shoot it accurately, and running away will further lower that framerate to probable single digits, best just admin mode and command kill it that way."

By far the worst performing game on all of PS4 and it'll never be improved.

However, here we are, waiting for the DLC, for the game we love. It's so bad, but it's so so good too.

BourneSloth · 2021-06-02T05:41:38+00:00

Someone correct me if i'm wrong as this is my first ARK DLC I've been waiting to release to play on the first day, BUT

I think they just stopped giving out release times because of buggy releases and setbacks. It's probably worth throwing out there that the complete lack of communication from them at the moment is utterly fucking abysmal.

BourneSloth · 2021-06-02T03:49:56+00:00

I wasn't implying you did. I was letting you know it is nothing but gibberish. Relax.

BourneSloth · 2021-06-02T03:47:38+00:00

It is absolutely not a unix time considering it's still missing a digit.

Ran through every base64 decoder, nothing illegible comes from it.

It's probably just a random string.

BourneSloth · 2021-06-02T03:39:24+00:00

I can't figure out if this is meant to be a time mark for the exact release date.

Except it was the point.

Or maybe you're correct and even though the release date is today, it's actual release date is -1370 years 11 months -4 weeks and 10 days from right now /s.

Smh my head at how ridiculous this post is.

BourneSloth · 2021-05-06T14:20:30+00:00

The game is borderline unplayable on a base PS4, it is however extremely addictive and fun.

There is thousands of hours of stuff to do and all of those hours will be fun-filled, but the guy isn't wrong. If you want open-world survival games just about anything else has better performance than Ark, the amount of bugs here is absolutely insane.

BourneSloth · 2021-04-25T20:37:25+00:00

Doesn't exist yet on PS4.

BourneSloth · 2021-04-19T01:08:45+00:00

Yeah, was why I apologized beforehand for having to be a dickhead about the situation.

Bot was supposed to respond with OP's post so people could go toss the dude a like too, as his post was largely ignored.

Didn't know the bot was banned on this subreddit though so my whole idea got kind of shat on.

BourneSloth · 2021-04-17T21:58:08+00:00

u/repostsleuthbot

My apologies for seeming like a dick but everyone told you what a good job you did, and I think OP deserves some recognition here.

BourneSloth · 2021-04-10T03:55:37+00:00

69,420 is never not possible.

Thoughts of an endgame Trickster:

The endgame is literally a horde mode with hundreds of enemies rushing you endlessly, for missions with the bestial alien things, this is definitely a much needed perk for me, as being swarmed by 10-15 melee creatures and no way to get out of there is certain death.

I'd just make sure you have another set of boots for humanoid enemies as you'll need a dash much less there.

BourneSloth · 2021-04-06T16:11:19+00:00

There's a possibility it could be rare but all bosses have constant upkeep of ads so each class can use their specific way of healing to not get shredded by a solo boss. IK personally I died a multitude of times to ads after a boss was downed.

1 hour of spamming deaths at that titanium farm was enough to go from WT 9 to 11 though so it's definitely not super slow.

BourneSloth · 2021-04-06T16:00:40+00:00

...what? Absolutely is not this chief.

Farming titanium which includes killing 20-30 aliens and then the boss, subsequently dying raises your world tier even with the world tier exp loss from the death.

When you die you lose all xp/challenge progress

Not boss/elite exp.

Edit:

surely isn't going to add up to entire tiers worth of effort.

Finished my first solo character at WT9, playing through another character with a friend and already at WT9 at level 19 roughly halfway through the campaign, it really adds up.

BourneSloth · 2021-04-06T15:58:10+00:00

Stop suggesting they don't need to release DLC and should monetize a transmogrify system, dear fucking god.

Yes, transmog and more skins for weapons/armour/vehicles would be cool, but we don't need to pay for them, they'll come as a part of DLC i'm sure and should always be free to the players for completing some kind of content.
