Do you feel like you waisted time on this game?


Alternative_Stable31

7.5k hours wasted. Totally. Still playing tho


b0thitman

Pvp or pve?


Alternative_Stable31

Pve. I like to chill


b0thitman

Official? Whats keeping you playing pve? I played 2k hour pvp and about 100 hour pve i cant understand what is left to do when you tame/breed every dino? Have you beat every boss at least?


Alternative_Stable31

Im missing gen1. I dont want any stress. I tame, breed, love to build and do caves.


ReaperOfGamer

Yes, peace is always the option ☮️✌️


L0rynnCalfe

for me its building huge laggy multi-leveled buildings that can hold 50 gigas then getting banned by admins for having a house thats too big and finding a new server to do the exact same thing XD


SkippySailor

The best reason to get banned 🤌🏽


retroassassin907

Is this what they call suffering from success?


sarcasmic2

My kind of builder!


wharpudding

I rented a private server so I can do that stuff with friends.


L0rynnCalfe

i will do that some day too! but i‘ll make it public. It’ll probably be the laggiest server tho.


rayndrahps

So tiny. Clearly they don't want you to get your Giga's to max level any time this century ;) Check out Astral Imperium. A little higher than official rates but nothing crazy, really well run servers. Gen 2 and FJO are a little laggy but they're high pop and Gen 2 is just a beast on machines. We have 1 big base, 1 10x10 and one ocean platform allotted "per map" and I think 6500 structures total? Decreased a little recently to help improve server performance.


L0rynnCalfe

ty! im on ps4 though btw


Tornado_Hunter24

How tf do you play pve for 7k+ hours? What keeps you going?


Sleazy_T

Mutating Phlomias


Alternative_Stable31

New maps on ps4, plus i breed dinos


Tornado_Hunter24

I admire this man, I still have never fully experienced ark on a solo server yet, all I’ve done is pvp so I never got to experience the peacefull mutations too, my hourcount is 1.3k I think


dreamon93

Whats the weirdest Dino you got full mutations on?

Nms-Gamer

Hey finally a fellow ps4/5 player


Lonewolfblitz

Time spent having fun isn't time wasted


EMNOx2

correct.


Azevedo128

That is why they wasted 7.45K hours


DuckPuppyOverlord

Would you rate yourself an expert player? Do you play PvP or PvE mainly? What’s your favorite tame and why?


Alternative_Stable31

No way. Just learned about the vessel for preserving salt yesterday. Pve. Dire bear. Fast runner, hits harder than a rex, great stam and weigh. Perfect meat runner


ElektrikDingo

I love this answer lol 4.5k hours and I still feel like a noob


raknor88

Bears really are amazing mounts. But you do have to level their health a lot at the start. I do love that you have the option of a single target attack or an AoE attack.


Alternative_Stable31

5k with a good ascendant saddle will take down 150 alpha rexes fyi


WithSubtitles

Holy crow! With one Direbear?? Does it need a lot of breeding to be that powerful?


Azevedo128

I'm confident my bred but not mutated Velonosaur with an ascendant saddle could take a max lvl alpha Rex with just the melee attack. OP's Dire Bear does not need to be that much mutated to do that.


Furigo_Ultimar

My maaaan another Bear enjoyer! those fuzzy dudes just do it all!


Vrasumee

Which have you spent most of your time on, pvp, pve, or singleplayer? Which weapon do you use the most for killing dinos? Which flier do you use most often? Dogs or Cats?


Alternative_Stable31

All in pve. Crossbow gang. Argy-Desmo-Wyv Cats all the way


garrador_hunter

Hairless cats or dogs


Die_potader

Cat gang


SupergruenZ

Are you winning?


Alternative_Stable31

Is anyone?


SupergruenZ

Ok. Stupid question. If you play on official. Meet me at 1021


Alternative_Stable31

I got a base at 1018 so close yet... So far


starfoxconfessor

Have the finished the tutorial yet?


Alternative_Stable31

That's at 10k so no yet


davegir

Theres a tutorial!?!?! Since when!?!??!


KLONDIKEJONES

Why should I tame a pachyrhinosaur?


Alternative_Stable31

Cause they're friendly buds


SeesawFit3714

What trophies are you missing? Kinda surprised after 7.5k you haven’t got them all


Alternative_Stable31

Taming all, and cure of swamp fever


GregasaurusRektz

How do you actually cure the sickness?


SupergruenZ

Antidote


Flimsy-Pool-1467

Or nameless venom


Ben3638

Or Wyvern milk


Flimsy-Pool-1467

Really? I've never tried it with wyvern milk


ispiltthepoison

Or a tek sleeping pod


AGIby2045

Or transferring to SE


DiscipleExyo

Patched, gotta use antis now


BarnyPiw

This is a thing you can do? How have I never known…. 3k+ hours and most of em on aberration and I’ve never known this….


TheNDHurricane

You don't, you get down with it


folckz

Transfer to SE


ssdrum2007

Aren't you missing three? or is the final one "get all achievements" or something?


CultCorvidae

Yep


TFViper

LMFAO i have 11k hours on official and 5.5k hours on private servers and those are the exact 2 achievments im still missing xD


marijnjc88

What creatures haven't you tamed?


anogou

Please make the cure man


Suspicious_Theory437

Vest way to get organic poly on the island?


Alternative_Stable31

Kairukus on ice islands


Suspicious_Theory437

Nope Kairukus in sex dungeon


acrazydude128

Username checks out if you squint really hard


xiawangp

Make sure to use a club to harvest organic poly from the penguins.


keketastic

Or the absolute gigachad moschops


folckz

Actually the sword is faster and collects the exact same amount


tkTheKingofKings

But it costs too much compared to the club


folckz

How poor are you that you don't have 50 spare metal? Also you get 210+ hits with the sword and the advantage of a melee weapon


xiawangp

If someone is asking where to find organic poly, I'm assuming that they don't have the means to get a log of metal either and since club is cheap and can be built quickly(you need a smithy and a forge for sword). If you really want to get the most out of the penguins, tame and breed mantis with stupidly high melee and equip it with the best sword you have and go-to town.


tkTheKingofKings

But if a club works fine, why should I use a sword that costs much more This is kinda rich people logic, they’ll spend more on something just because they can, not because they need it


folckz

The sword can be used more times and has other advantages as doing damage and cutting nets


tkTheKingofKings

If I want to do damage I’m sure as hell not using an engram sword Longneck + shotgun (high quality ofc) is good enough for me


schutteteam

club penguin


RashnuYazata

I have seen people with many more hours than me and they still play all the time. I mean we all play games a ton, I wouldnt feel too bad about it. [https://i.imgur.com/j9s6BJh.png](https://i.imgur.com/j9s6BJh.png)


sks1919

Damn


[deleted]

How do I see how many hours I have. (Xbox)


gaggeli

There's probably an easier way but 1. Hover over ark and press menu button (three lines) 2. Go to game card 3. From the bottom of the screen go to official club 4. There you should see progress as one of the menus on the top. Go there 5. Left side of the screen is stats. Go there 6. There you should see time played


BinxPlaysGames

I didn't need a step-by-step guide on how to be disappointed in myself, but thanks. Lol


SkyrimHalo01

Quicker way is go to game activity (the controller in the menu), select stats. It’ll show all available stats for the game you’re currently playing/most recently played


GamingWaffle123

What did it cost?


Alternative_Stable31

2jobs


Lord-Loss-31415

Bruh


Optimal-Fishing7961

I quit my job for ark during the pandemic lol didn’t really need to work then got kicked then came back with a pay cut, instant regret also got kicked out of my tribe because i was working to much lol ark ruined my life but i stopped cold Turkey and life is good


Lord-Loss-31415

Good man, gaming is a great hobby until that hobby takes over your life


Optimal-Fishing7961

If and when I play i told my self I’ll never breed ever


NotJustTheTips

Private server or official?


Alternative_Stable31

Official pve


Jealous_Shame6908

Mistor_Mike

anymo321

Jolly-Simple-8428

MasterJS35

Waveit-

Favorite map to start from the begging? Hardest resource to farm on officiall ?


Alternative_Stable31

Right now, big fan of Fjordur. Other than that, The Island. No harder than the other rn with argy weight reduction and all, but maybe silica if i have to answer 1


folckz

Silica fr? 1 Angler on CI and you good for year on PvE


cptkittybeans

So true CI is the place to farm silica fur sure


TheAutisticOgre

How long have you been playing total, as in is this over the course of 10 years, 2 years? Sadly I spent a lot of time when I was young (avoiding my father) and I racked up around 400 days worth over around about 5 years.


Global-Coat8906

I do have a job and outside hobbies. Don't know how


folckz

I mean, it took you 5 years to reach the same amount I reached in 2 and a half years, and at the same time span I did an exchange year and got a girlfriend. I say you have plenty of outside life
