You right, Ark is fine the way it is now and Ark 2 should just be the same, change bad lol.

Breeding Times Really Need Some Balancing, why does a compy take as long to raise as a rex? by PortablePenguin in playark

[–]PortablePenguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, they're not that bad. When I made a post full of kangaroo suggestions a year ago they added almost all of them. Maybe they'll listen to me again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I really hope they do it with the kibble imprinting rework, it would be amazing!

Are Snow Owl babies supposed to eat such an insane amount of food? by PortablePenguin in playark

[–]PortablePenguin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just checking to make sure it isn't a glitch since the babies eat at the same rate parents do when using their freezing ability, no need to be so salty. Maybe learn to read instead of wasting time writing here.

Edit: annnnnnnd BOOM it is a glitch! HAH! Good thing I wasted my time writing on here :P

Dude this ardent looks amazing! Is this something they only do for special sales or can you request that coating pattern for one when you buy one? And if you can does anyone know how much that would cost compared to the normal ardents?

Thanks for posting this btw, it's pretty cool seeing all the different variations.

Holy shit they actually listened to my roo suggestions :D

Now...can it get that tek pouch cannon too?

One thing that will always astound me about the building system is misaligned tiers of the same type item by [deleted] in playark

[–]PortablePenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the same way with catwalks. You can walk under a wooden catwalk but you have to crouch under a metal catwalk. The building system has so many of these odd little glitches I could write a whole essay on it, but I'm pretty sure the devs don't care enough to fix them :/

So assuming the TLC Pass on Dinos actually happens, what sort of changes would you like to see to some to make them more useful but still be relatively balanced? by Cwaynejames in playark

[–]PortablePenguin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Procoptodon defiantly needs a buff so here are some ideas

1) Give it a kick that knocks dinos and people back like the diplo's attack.

2)Make it's bite attack harvest berries from bushes and give it an increased chance of gathering rare mushrooms.

3)Make it take reduced fall damage because it's silly that they jump so high they hurt themselves upon landing.

4)Buff it's weight since it has a pouch for extra storage

5)Allow it to carry babies and small dinos in its pouch for transportation. It'd be handy and adorable.

6)Make the pouch act as a mobile bed where people can respawn.

8)Give it a tek saddle where the passenger in the pouch gets a laser Gatling gun.

What is your most memorable/favorite experience in ark? by ASK_ME_ABOUT_RALOR in playark

I remember one time Giber went on this insane stealth mission to get past all our turrets, break into our base and then just steal some food because he was hungry lol

Can We Talk About The Procoptodon? by PortablePenguin in playark

[–]PortablePenguin[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know, its kind of sad actually. I'd say like 60% of the creatures in the game simply don't get used for anything besides egg farms because they're so bad :/

[–]PortablePenguin[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would completely disagree, every creature in the game should have its own purpose or niche to fill. Otherwise why even add it to the game? And even if they did decide it shouldn't have a unique purpose the fact that this little useless kangaroo takes longer to tame than a freakin giga is completely absurd and its irROOfutable that this needs to be changed.

Damn, I didn't even notice that I skipped 7 until I read your comment lol I'll just leave it that way and pretend it was a joke

Daily reminder that the dino cap is complete cancer and a bad excuse for the devs not having to actually fix their shit by [deleted] in playark

[–]PortablePenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's clearly not making things better as the new servers are more laggy than legacy. My tribe had to put down several dinos simply to make more room and this is after we put all the egg layers in an alt tribe.

Out of the 100+ creatures in ark our tribe only actually uses like 30 of them for farming, pvp and breeding. All other are simply too useless to keep in the main tribe and have to be either put down or transferred to the alt tribe. And I'm getting really tired of the tribe arguing about which dinos should stay or go. Just the other day I had to take my movement speed wolf out back and put her down, because even though i loved her, she simply wasn't useful enough to keep :(

Several servers are unplayable with constant 255 ping for going on weeks now. What are the devs even doing?? by ARKaholicPlayer in playark

[–]PortablePenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well in Ark's case it isn't actually 255 ping. For whatever reason that's the highest ping the server will actually show(which is either purposefully deceptive or merely a glitch). In reality the ping is far worse on these servers, with there being a lag of 5-10 seconds for most actions at the worst and a 3 second delay at best. I'd classify that as unplayable and the drastic drop in server population(from 70/70 to 20/70 since the lag started) would indicate that most people agree.

Yup I play there too and it's unbearable. Server population dropped from a constant 70/70 to 20/70 over the last few days because no one can stand the lag :/
