I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid I cannot accept a request from someone whom I have never met and don't really know anything about. Absolutely nothing personal against you, and no offence intended, but I always try to be very cautious online, as we never really know who it is we are interacting with.

I would be happy to try and help out with any issues you may have though If they are short and simple questions feel free to ask them here in these comments. Or if they are larger and more in-depth, you can make a thread about them on the Ark discussion boards and drop me a link here, and I'll check it out and respond where I can. I do want to assist if at all I am able

can u accept my invitation because i have couple questions about running ark server on your own computer and playing it in the same time

ty

You can set it to any number you wish, it's the number per individual stat which is the issue. Dinos have 7 stats you can level up, you could put a maximum of 255 into each, so if you pumped every stat up to that number the max level-ups you would be able to use is 1785. So any value below that would be viable. You'd just have to count the number of levels you spend in each stat.

btw then how many should i set my max dino's lvl for safety? ex: max 900?

ok ty so much for replying to me and way to avoid the system xd

This is hardcoded into the game, there is no way to change it I'm afraid. Your only option would be to make sure not to pump more than 255 levels into a single stat. If you want the creatures to still be very powerful even without so many levels, you can adjust how much a single level boosts the stat instead - so where by default a level in melee may increase the melee stat by 10, you could make it go up by 100 instead, making the creatures much more powerful but without having to spend 250+ levels on them.

Hope that helps. But if I'm mistaken in what you are asking and your problem is actually something else, please give a little more info on what it is that you are experiencing, and the issue you have.

Hey ho

Are you meaning that your tames lose stats when the server is restarted? So for example, you may have a wyvern with 1000 melee, and when the server comes back up it only has 400?

If that is the case, then you should be aware of this: the way creatures are coded into the game, they can only support a maximum of 255 levels in a single stat. If you pump more than 255 levels into a stat, then the number will go 'off the top' of what the game can calculate. Then when the creature is reloaded, either from the server restarting or the dino being downloaded at an obelisk/thrown out of a cryopod, the game will recalculate it's stats and start counting up from level 1 again, leading to the stats going down.

Hello Hermit,
I'm opening a server for friends but i really annoyed with this problem for 2 years
The Problem here is the reset level every time i shut down server . Btw i setted the dinosaur's level to 1200 :>

Heya

Yes, to my knowledge on Ark Evolved Playstation cannot crossplay with any other platform. They have convinced the console manufacturers to permit crossplay for Ascended, but on the original game Steam can only work with Epic Games, and Xbox can only work with the Windows Store version of the game, no other crossovers are possible.

Hello Hermit, I don't know if there's a way to PM you but I was reading a thread about cross-play on Ark Evolved and was uncertain on what was being said. Just to clarify, cross platform for PC and PS5 is entirely impossible? I've seen posts and videos talking about hosting dedicated servers allowing it but have also seen the opposite. Is ascended the only one that does cross plat between the two?

You too

yes, it's been a way to get to know some of the people who are here on a regular basis :D
I liked it too. It must have been because of religion, as you say, because my comment was about that too.
have a nice day!

Oh it's been closed? That's a shame, I hadn't seen that

As to why, I can't really speak for the mods on that board, but I do know that many people view religion as quite a sensitive subject. Perhaps they felt that the last two posts in the thread were straying a little too close to a line, and could begin to cause conflict or debate if some more opinionated people came along and wanted to pick a fight. Maybe they closed it preemptively to try and prevent that.

Whatever the reason, it's a pity because that thread was really constructive and wholesome, and everyone was being very respectful and polite in it. But if that's the decision they came to, I guess there's not really anything we can do. It was a really nice thread while it lasted though, thank you very much for starting it, and for sharing your thoughts

i made a post, nothing bad. and a moderator has deleted it and close the thread, why?

yes

You mean the thread on the ETS board? Sure go ahead.

hermit, could i ask you something about the thread on here?

Hmm...I'm afraid I don't have any experience with Ark Ascended, I stuck with Evolved, so I'm not entirely familiar with the remaster's settings and commands. However I do recall that even on Evolved, the 'ForcePlayerToJoinTargetTribe' command was very buggy and often caused issues, could be that WC never bothered to fix it even in Ascended (big surprise there )

You could try the alternative of taking your base/dinos from the old tribe into a new one though. Look at your base from close range, then put in the command 'GiveAllStructure' - that should transfer control of all structure parts to your new character. And then look at dinos from close range too and type 'GiveToMe' to take them. According to the Ark wiki those commands should still exist in Ascended I believe.

No problem,
In my Ark Ascended single player world my survivor got deleted, and I couldnt find any backs up on it. So I cant access any box, dino, ect. I tried a command that I found on google and reddit to force me to join the tribe, but when I type it, my game just crashes. Any help?

I'm afraid as I mention above, I can't really accept invites from people without knowing them a little first. Sorry, nothing personal.

However if there's something I can help with you can ask it here in these comments if you like. Or if it's a larger topic that will take a lot of space to discuss, make a thread about it on the game's forums and drop me a link here, I'll take a look and see if there's anything I can do

Hermit I saw you assist someone in a steam thread or wtv, I'm woundering if you can accept my friend request and help me with something?

Beyond that, I personally like building elaborate bases and breeding dinos for mutations. Plus the Workshop has plenty of mod maps to explore if you've already seen the vanilla ones, and many other mod types which can add various facets to the game and make it feel fresh and interesting again.

That depends on what you find fun, really. Are you a PvP player or PvE? Do you like exploring and gathering resources, or building decorative bases, or are you more focused on the survival aspects and bosses?

My friends and I found that on the vanilla exp curve we levelled up to endgame way too fast, and missed the exciting survival aspects at the start. So we tried lowering the exp multiplier down to just 0.1, forcing us to stay in the low levels longer and survive with earlygame tames, and that brought us a lot of excitement.

There's also the factor that, if you tame a really high level, it gets huge bonus levels over wild creatures and becomes overpowered, unable to be killed. Sounds counterintuitive, but reducing the game's difficulty so the max wild level is very low, perhaps even just 30, might make them more balanced...as there is less of a gulf between your tame and a wild creature, you would have to be more wary and could easily get overwhelmed.

Hey, i just wanted a quick question: Is it possible to make the game ARK more fun? I really think it's a great game, yet it gets boring very fast. If you would give me some tips to make the game more fun i would appreciate it, thanks!

lol police? I don't arrest anyone But if I've managed to assist you then I'm glad to be of some aid, hope you enjoy the game

This guy really is the Ark police, thanks for the help bud.

I'm glad it all worked out for you, and that I could be of some assistance If there's anything more I can aid with give me a shout, either here or on the Ark discussion boards (I check there pretty frequently) and I'll see what I can do

Hi Hermit, I just wanted to thank you again for all your help. Thanks to you I was able to get everything sorted out the way I wanted, which I wasn't expecting really..

You were a great help, thanks again... :)

'ello 🦊

*waves* Hello fellow foxie. ^_^

Here ya go: https://pastebin.com/YRU1iRLV

I included the 100 dino levels that I play with in it as well - the dino one has a greatly reduced step between levels to counter the low XP multiplier, so they will still level relatively quickly while the player goes slow. But it's up to you if you want to use that or not, feel free to delete it from your configs if you prefer.

Hope that helps

Hey Hermit,

I found a post where you shared your game.ini with 300 lvls and low exp, but file was deleted, you think you can share it with me?

Regards!

Nice, thanks. Will check it out.

Update - I actually went ahead and made a topic on it. Feel free to post there if you wish

https://steamproxy.net/app/346110/discussions/0/6163789298351743993/

You mean the Logitech Game Board? I do yeah. Although I'm not certain if there's a way I could copy the keybinds from it to paste them down here...do you know a way to do it?

If the only way is for me to type them out manually I'd be willing to do that, but there's quite a lot of them so I'd probably start up a thread for it on the Ark discussion board rather than doing a huge post here on the profile.

Hi there, do you still have the G13 key setup for Ark? I wouldn't mind a look at it as I didn't back up my one before reinstall. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's true. Official servers will be shut down when Ascended comes out. Their saves will be made available for people to download if they wish, but only unofficial servers or solo play will be possible then.

Is it true that they are going to disconnect ark survival evolved from the servers? but singleplayer and unofficial servers will not be shut down?

thx hermit <3

Depends on your playstyle, and what things you find most entertaining in the game. However a few of my favourites are:

Super Structures by Legendarsreign
Antinode by Zen Rowe
Immersive Taming by Burgesssss
Advanced Rafts by MacGyver
Swim Clear Scuba Mask by MorkOz
Custom Dino Levels by KitzyKatty
No Cryo Cooldown by Brimm

I also like some hair and clothing mods which give the game a more RP air, there's quite a few of those to try if you like them.

what mods you recomend?

Glad to be of assistance

And Vin - I don't have that issue myself, however I hear that it's caused by Steam's new update to the overlay. When in the game, press Shift and Tab, see if you have any media like music or videos playing in there which could be causing the noise.

do u have same problem with ARK Game,the backsound of trailer is repeat all the time

Helped me fixed most annoying thing I have seen so far much love

Glad to be of some assistance^^ If the answers are long and in depth we may have to open up a thread about them on the Ark discussion board, but so long as they're relatively short I don't mind doing them here

thanks you helping me hermit!

I like the plateau at 57, 27. Only one way up so easy to defend, close to lots of resources, on the river so easy access to many areas, and just a short hop from the bay at 63, 15 for water tames.

hello good day, what good base island singleplayer?

thank you much :D!!!
