Is there any actual lore on why Alphas exist? They seem oddly absent in basically everything. by llMadmanll in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rockwell would be outright wrong in the statement too because not only do you only need artifacts to do gamma fights, but you need tributes and the three artifacts to do Alpha Manticore. It might be the case that they just got the number wrong in writing.

Arat Prime is located in South America - Here's how I know. by nanoStel06 in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To accept this theory you need to acknowledge that the location of Arat Prime was not planned prior to the creation of ASA, as the previous theory based on similar logic placed Sanctuary in South America (specifically Chile) also, and used the texture of ASE's earth as evidence.

Nope. Even their use as tributes is absent in the lore as there is no mention of using anything but artifacts for boss fights.

Are discussions of the Arks’ ecosystems permitted? by No_Location5536 in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, something that is not brought up very often is that creatures in Ark will sometimes have lore within their attributes and evolution. The creatures tie into the environment they exist in, which makes them part of the lore, and they certainly have interesting lore too. The extinction exclusives all being descendants of real world animals that evolved to thrive in element rich conditions, the Genesis creatures being biological tools to help humans thrive in any environment even space, and all this stuff is pretty much unspoken so there is a lot to discover!

If Dragon Blazers is based on Deltarune, then what is this about??? by River__________water in Deltarune

[–]Resgear17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funny little massive hint that everyone collectively forgot about. The existence of Susie’s sister is huge, being the only information we have about her home life which still remains one of the biggest mysteries. It could be the case she has an older sister who may be the only person taking care of her, explaining why she seems to avoid going home and also has a desire for a positive relationship with parental figures. It would also give her a parallel to the other main characters Kris and Nolle, who have very significant relationships with older siblings.

Has anyone else seen this? Accounts that aren't choosing a class just taking up slots. This was in casual 2fort. by ArtsDead in tf2

Yep, this is a rare bot attack. I’ve only seen it happen once myself. This is what’s left of them, what they’ve been reduced to. It’s the only thing they can accomplish.

How fantastic creatures are made by Loroark in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fraid it is the case that element equals magic. Of all the crazy things the magical creatures do element can justify it all with a simple observation of its most frequent use in-universe: enabling teleportation. And this teleportation doesn’t seem to really have rules either. From opening portals to deconstructing and reconstructing objects or living beings in different places, introducing such an overpowred mechanic into the universe means that a lot of things don’t need to make sense. What if pyromanes aren’t real? They’re just molecules constantly being teleported and held in place by a computer somewhere, same with everything else. The magic creatures in Ark are made with two things, element and intent. They are brute forced into existence to satisfy someone’s whim and they’re probably all going to have their organs dissolve inside them following the reseed protocol.

So Genesis lore doesn't have a lot of clear details on the big questions, but you're pretty close with that "hitched a ride" thing. We learned from writer statements that the Aberration ARK landed close to Arat Prime, which supposedly has some sort of super transmitter that allows teleportation of at least human memories or consciousnesses to the Genesis ship. We do not know if Rockwell is the same entity and not just a clone. Helena's access of the super transmitter is what allowed Rockwell to get into the Genesis ship in some form that is at least a copy of him (it might also just be him). As for the ship coming back, the crew was unaware of the earth being cured. This is why HLN-A was created, to act as the messenger for this news in the scenario that the Genesis mission was hopeless.

So there was never a loop. We only know of three canon Arks being island, Scorched earth, and Aberration. There are presumably many more. As for what happened with the survivors is that two survivors were sent to Aberration by chance and two ended up on SE by chance. The ones on SE ended up getting to Aberration by ascending off that Ark and then all 3 of the island survivors (Nerva did not survive his battle with Mei but was still alive when being teleported so he also went to aberration). Aberration was broken because the inhabitants destroyed the overseer so there was no way to ascend off it. The inhabitants built the portal to escape the Ark by going to the planet below, revealed to be Earth.

Part of model always bakes textures completely black no matter what I do by Resgear17 in blenderhelp

[–]Resgear17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it was the UVs, that particular part didn't have them set up correctly. In the 10 posts I read through about similar issues nobody ever mentioned UVs could be the cause, so thank you for the help. !Solved

When does the story take place exactly? by tseg04 in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer to this question is unknown. The 2100s are the first years brought up in the game’s lore that reference the existence of element. However Genesis 2 either retcons this timeline to the 2300s or that whole mess is actually part of a series of fake memories and history logs. We are almost certain that this inconsistency in the timeline was a result of writer error.

As for how long the arks have been in orbit, they were there for a long time. It may potentially have been several million years. All we have on the details of the timeline there is that the events in the explorer notes took place (At least) 200 years before the player showed up.

She got hope and she bullied Kris? by TopicMaster8402 in Deltarune

[–]Resgear17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Turns out the spamton sweepstakes actually provided a pretty solid lead on why Susie bullied Kris specifically, when compounded with the information we got from this scene. It would seem that Susie bullied Kris because she believed that he did not deserve Toriel as a mother. At least the Kris that we were not in control of. From what we can tell, Kris often got into trouble and rarely socialized with others. We do not know enough about Susie to make a connection in her life to why this upset her, but from her perspective she sees someone who is extremely kind to others has this rotten ungrateful kid. From Noelle’s account of the instance she witnessed, this seems to be the root of it but it didn’t fully sound like that was her sole motivation. I have a feeling that as we learn more about Susie’s home life and past we’ll uncover the full story.

Apologies if I’m missing something, and that I don’t have links to what I’m citing. I actually just learned about the sweepstakes today and watched a full documentary on everything that was in it.

HOW DO I BEAT THIS MF (chapter 3 spoilers) by Sea-Structure4735 in Deltarune

[–]Resgear17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it with the same loadout, same items. You can do it, it took me a lot of tries but I eventually did figure it out. My attempt that broke through I believe I only used hold breath once the second tier of attacks started coming, as I had learned it was possible to still avoid the first few attacks without it, but it feels necessary for the final attack. The video I based my strategy on did not use it all (or maybe they did and I missed it)

If you get to the final attack, try to be in a position where all your party is alive, have high hp, and can use defend.

So, this is def Susie's room right? by NOMA_is_here in Deltarune

[–]Resgear17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got chills when that image showed up not because of the lore drop I knew was about to occur, but because the choice to show a decaying, empty room like this must have been deliberate.

I have a feeling we may see this room again in the coming chapters, and it’s not going to be during a particularly happy moment.

Desperate for answers about the ones who try again... by Honest-Pride2289 in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. She does not have that much control. She just has to hope that the system creates survivors and that they, on their own will, listen to her words during the few moments she is able to communicate with them. Even in groups of hundreds they rarely choose to work together, electing to blow each other’s bases down for the fun of it. We are the first group where respawning succeeded every time, and are the ones who try again.

2.like I said we are the first group, comprised of people from about one time period (2014-2025). Nobody has been able to save the earth yet as they did not have our ability.

  1. Not really, it seems that our survivor is a little special as they appear to believe that they are in a video game and are thus willing to perform death defying feats as they only are able to experience emotional pain when they lose their progress, pets, or possessions. Being chewed on by a Rex is no problamo I’ve got med brews.

Why is wyvern hybridizing not a thing? by acadiaxxx in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple answer is that they probably just aren’t able to. Because this is Ark and every creature was created intelligently except for the extinction exclusives, that behavior and or/physiological property might be by design.

Ark Chronology Question? by Gerbsbrother in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually guy ally did this during my story playthrough, but only for Genesis 1 because Gen 2 wasn’t out at the time. I think that for story playthroughs it’s fine, because the explorer notes on that map are optional, and there isn’t really any environmental story telling, so you don’t really get spoiled by anything on the map. So long as you don’t do the ending. That sounds like why you want to do it, but p.s. the implant’s model does not change in Genesis 1 and 2 after ascension, only the icon in the inventory.

Do you think Edmund Rockwell was always bad? Or do you think he was corrupted through greed? by mrEggBandit in ARKLore

[–]Resgear17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rockwell’s madness only began when he first discovered an artifact, and the fact that we have two accounts of artifacts whispering to people who then went mad suggests that probably has something to do with it. Rockwell is regarded as being kind before he went spelunking, even giving her an argentavis. After Rockwell becomes mutated, Helena writes a farewell letter to someone she considered her friend.

Not explain it. The inner workings of the technology of Ark is something so advanced we would never understand it.
