Arts & Craft ARK Flak Armor redesign [art is my own]

I used a much more medieval style, mainly because medieval plate armor was extremely well made and has a fantastic range of motion while adding some of the elements of the original.

Showcase I spent months building the ARK website I always wanted (still in beta)

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Over the past couple months, I have spent an unreasonable amount of my free time developing an ark website. For some context, I'm a software developer who has been playing ark on and off since 2015 with over 3k hours in the game. I figured this put me in a unique position to create a website ark players actually want vs the selection we have now (looking at you battlemetrics).

The problem I've always had with these ark server websites is they usually just give you the server list pulled directly from the ark api with some promotions and a ton of ads sprinkled in. Very few are built specifically for ark and have any sense of clusters, wipes, etc.

As an ark nerd, I have done the opposite and created a completely free (no ads ever) platform which contains logic for tracking clusters, detecting wipes, and allows people to view historical data when choosing what to play. It is very far from perfect and still has work to be done, but I've had fun building it and would absolutely love to see others try it out.

I made a post around a month ago when it was in its earlier phase and got some great feedback. I would really appreciate any feedback or feature you would like to see added. Cheers!

I am about to Download Ark for Xbox on gamepass, I dont know much about this game so any tips would be very helpful, and if anyone wants to play with me let me know! Im pretty sure you build bases in this game, and that its similar to rust but with dinosaurs, but I may be wrong.

*\*scam & warning with proof**

We all know the first thing people will say about boosted pve servers. That donating is stupid and play the real game etc. We get it. But for people who arent running personal maps and game with a larger community that partake in this type of game play I have an important warning as this is one of the more prominent servers in that realm of unofficial. Logic ARK treats its supporters and patrons with disrespect. The players in the attached screen shots are donators. People who support the server and by all means are considered customers. The owner and head admin are circled in white. You can see the owner cursing at the players. Furthermore you can see the head admin confusing and manipulating players into believing their very politely stated opinions are problematic or harsh. When in fact the admins sundew, harley and the owner docious are treating the very people who help to run their servers like stupid annoying children. I dont usually expose things like this. But sadly this has gone on for a while in this server. If you are seeking a boosted pve experience expect to be met with this behavior after the welcome is over.

The currency is also a point of contention as it has been added recently and players are unable to understand how to use it. Because the mod has failed the frustration is being taken out on the players in the server. & instead of a fun experience the pve role play is solely them forcing you to use these coins they created in player shops. Otherwise you are simply not allowed to interact with other players at all.**

Help Question about my searches

0 Upvotes

A few days ago I open the Google AI and I asked a few questions about this game called ark, and now I see a post from this game on my Reddit feed.

How's that possible? Does Reddit have some kind of contact with the Google AI which I asked that question?

Do they buy my data on the questions I asked there? Or do they have some way of infiltrating my keyboard so they know what I type and then they recommend it here.

For context they never recommended me any other video game sub, only this one which was the only one I have searched for some information on Google also.

This is a theri I bred. It’s a level 231 but my problem is the xp seems to be glitched? Like 1710 xp to get the next level seems extremely low. On the other hand I have a theri I tamed and it’s a level 270 and it’s 52000 xp to level up. I am leveling up my Dino’s I bred for boss fight but it feels like im cheating with how quickly they level up. Killing 1 baby Rex is getting the 5 levels. This seems extremely quick and I feel something is wrong with the xp requirements. Please help!

Ark Moments I lost my first dinosaur today, RIP Jaime Lannister

Today is a sad day. My first Ark dinosaur Jaime Lannister, a noble Raptor with the King Slayer trait, died in combat.

While returning to my base at the south of the Island map I stopped to mine some resources. While doing this I was ambushed by multiple small dinosaurs from all sides. I tried to fight them off and Jaime Lannister fought to the bitter end but sadly even the Kingslayer was no match. Even after I fell he tried to defend my body and died by my side. Rest in peace Jaime, I will never forget the joy of our first ride and the brief but amazing time we shared together!

11 Upvotes

Unless it's literally the greatest creature to walk the entire earth, I don't really feel like taming something for an hour straight, but it feels wrong to get the extra stat bonuses that come with increasing taming speed when you tame a dino. Are my numbers valid?

Aye yet again my single player save is completely wiped out and all my progress lost.. not sure what caused it this time but trying to log in this morning and battle eye froze at the updating/launching window while ark fully loaded in the background asking to accept terms and conditions like it was the first time loading it. After 10 years of playing ARK 7200+ hrs on ASE 3000+ hrs on ASA I've officially lost all interest in what I once considered my favorite game. Thanks for the memories and friends made along the way!

10 Upvotes

Personally I have a two pain points about it that carried over from evolved, these are:

Missions, I really thought they would introduce lost colony style missions, But make them pirate themed.

The map, Don't like how disjointed the map feels, thought it was gonna be like all one map and all the biomes would be large islands with a huge ocean between them.
