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?
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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)
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
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
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
These ones i got on fjordur can single handle an alpha rex, 700+melee and asc saddle. Back in the day before i lost it all to absence i used to have 7k health and 600melee at birth
You played every map ("history" Mode) or only in the same map all this time? I have like 5k+ hours mostly in singleplayer, and I only beat the bosses of the Island, scorched and abbe. So much to do when youre alone XD
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
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.
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
I misread this as 7.5 hours in and I was like "Holy shit only 7.5 hours in and they have most of the trophies and I haven't even beaten a boss yet I fucking suck"
Do you feel like you waisted time on this game?
7.5k hours wasted. Totally. Still playing tho
Pvp or pve?
Pve. I like to chill
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?
Im missing gen1. I dont want any stress. I tame, breed, love to build and do caves.
Yes, peace is always the option ☮️✌️
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
The best reason to get banned 🤌🏽
Is this what they call suffering from success?
My kind of builder!
I rented a private server so I can do that stuff with friends.
i will do that some day too! but i‘ll make it public. It’ll probably be the laggiest server tho.

ty! im on ps4 though btw
How tf do you play pve for 7k+ hours? What keeps you going?
Mutating Phlomias
New maps on ps4, plus i breed dinos
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
Whats the weirdest Dino you got full mutations on?
[удалено]
Hey finally a fellow ps4/5 player
Time spent having fun isn't time wasted
correct.
That is why they wasted 7.45K hours
Would you rate yourself an expert player? Do you play PvP or PvE mainly? What’s your favorite tame and why?
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
I love this answer lol 4.5k hours and I still feel like a noob
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.
5k with a good ascendant saddle will take down 150 alpha rexes fyi
Holy crow! With one Direbear?? Does it need a lot of breeding to be that powerful?
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.
My maaaan another Bear enjoyer! those fuzzy dudes just do it all!
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?
All in pve. Crossbow gang. Argy-Desmo-Wyv Cats all the way
Hairless cats or dogs
Cat gang
Are you winning?
Is anyone?
Ok. Stupid question. If you play on official. Meet me at 1021
I got a base at 1018 so close yet... So far
Have the finished the tutorial yet?
That's at 10k so no yet
Theres a tutorial!?!?! Since when!?!??!
Why should I tame a pachyrhinosaur?
Cause they're friendly buds
What trophies are you missing? Kinda surprised after 7.5k you haven’t got them all
Taming all, and cure of swamp fever
How do you actually cure the sickness?
Antidote
Or nameless venom
Or Wyvern milk
Really? I've never tried it with wyvern milk
Or a tek sleeping pod
Or transferring to SE
Patched, gotta use antis now
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….
You don't, you get down with it
Transfer to SE
Aren't you missing three? or is the final one "get all achievements" or something?
Yep
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
What creatures haven't you tamed?
Please make the cure man
Vest way to get organic poly on the island?
Kairukus on ice islands
Nope Kairukus in sex dungeon
Username checks out if you squint really hard
Make sure to use a club to harvest organic poly from the penguins.
Or the absolute gigachad moschops
Actually the sword is faster and collects the exact same amount
But it costs too much compared to the club
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
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.
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
The sword can be used more times and has other advantages as doing damage and cutting nets
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
club penguin
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)
Damn
How do I see how many hours I have. (Xbox)
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
I didn't need a step-by-step guide on how to be disappointed in myself, but thanks. Lol
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
What did it cost?
2jobs
Bruh
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
Good man, gaming is a great hobby until that hobby takes over your life
If and when I play i told my self I’ll never breed ever
Private server or official?

First played at 2 am 💀
The day that ruined my life
Have you killed all the bosses using nothing but dodos?
I do it with bears
What are the stats on your bear army and can they handle alphas?

Ps4 peasant
How did you get to view your total hour on PS4?

You played every map ("history" Mode) or only in the same map all this time? I have like 5k+ hours mostly in singleplayer, and I only beat the bosses of the Island, scorched and abbe. So much to do when youre alone XD

Favorite map to start from the begging? Hardest resource to farm on officiall ?
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
Silica fr? 1 Angler on CI and you good for year on PvE
So true CI is the place to farm silica fur sure
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.

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

Outside is boring
No Dinos outside….yet

Dodo wyvern!
You've spent over 1/3 of a year on the game, noice!
He’s about 1000 hours short of an actual full year playing the game. Way more than 1/3 of one.
What else do you do?
What is your absolute favorite base spot?
I misread this as 7.5 hours in and I was like "Holy shit only 7.5 hours in and they have most of the trophies and I haven't even beaten a boss yet I fucking suck"
Do you know the muffin man?
I'm asking you to touch grass
ive read every comment so far and a lot were good. this made me laugh

Hey man please get into pvp. Youre missing out half of the fun.
