And that big thing you see can be tamed :blink:
Hah, when I first saw the title of this thread I thought you meant our Ark.
What's the state of our Ark atm? Is it worth me jumping back in after so long away? Will there still be numbers to look at an expansion like this?
:flirty: I do love dinosaurs you know...
It's pretty much dead tbh.
People popping on to feed dinos but that's about it.
We have a couple of boss fights planned (Alpha Monkey on The Island and Alpha Dragon/Manticore on Raggy) but I think that's really going to be the last hurrah.
I've had my money's worth :flirty:

Yeah but that's your hours plus half the below stairs staff. Still quite impressive
Good to know, Pen. I'll crack on with other games for now then :)
Hey everyone, and server admins ;) ;)
Could we please host Extinction? Surely I can't be the only one who wants to see new stuff? If it's a resounding no then I'll understand and head out into the weird world of public servers :(
:D
We will be hosting a server.
Yeaaa! Well it goes live in an hour... just saying... should be about 20gigs download from what the dev's reckon, but let's face it Ark makes up its own mind about these things :D
And if anyone wanted a link to the launch trailer its right here:

I mean maybe with those mechs we could finally kill some bosses hmmm?
I'm not really going to have time to invest in Ark until at least February. If you're all still playing by then I'll buy it and join in. Have fun in the meantime!
Looks interesting, convince me Sith :flirty:

Slong as you promise to play for more than a week ;-)
Hah, I'll believe that when I see it.
Don't get your hopes up Sithy, it won't be up today.
I think the weekend may be more relaistic from the back end side.
Lucky for us, its having a shaky launch and is already late by 4hours Good job everyone at Ark lol :rolleyes:
Flyers are back on this map, so we're not constricted like Abberation, that'll keep me there 1.1weeks Albert :norty:
And Duvel, I'll report back when i've seen the map, I mean the trailer makes it seem huge, and diverse... so.. Who knows!? :D :D
I'm in :boxing:
Tried and failed to start a single player session this morning. Can someone else please try?
Could someone with Extinction check to see if they can see our server [dMw] ARK: Extinction. I need to head to work but it looks like it's running.

Checking now ...

It works :yahoo:
Thanks, Whitey :thumb:
Downloading .... :woot2:
When do we go live ?
Where should we spawn ?
Has Whitey made a base in the most deadly area possible ?
so many questions

Thank you very much for the efforts OldBloke & Whitey!! :flirty:
On a side note, how the heck did you all get it downloaded / updated so fast? mine is taking AGES!
And I'm with Jas where's the worst place we could spawn and suffer? :D
Did i mention that i bought the expansion this morning?
Quote from: JonnyAppleSeed;435411Has Whitey made a base in the most deadly area possible ?
Not yet, I need you or OB to take me there first, that's usually how it starts! :woot2:
Posting the links for the maps here for the sake of ease :D
Explorer Map (https://ark.gamepedia.com/Explorer_Map_(Extinction))
and Resource Map (https://ark.gamepedia.com/Resource_Map_(Extinction))
And to bump Ark forum activity ;-)
How are you guys finding the map? Jasmine is playing on the centre right now and I'm really getting the itch to jump back in!
For me personally the map is diverse, combines all the other expansions into one place has plenty new stuff to see and multiple levels, and plenty of danger! I'm loving it!
Not as good as Aberration but I'm enjoying it :D
im enjoying playing with you chaps again (No Lib!!), but im not convinced, time will tell
I'm enjoying it but, to be fair, it's the gaming together as a group that I've missed. ARK provides that whilst I wait for SC.
Yeah, I'm playing it differently and staying put at the community base with everyone else.
The problem with going out and finding personal bases is that you then spend ages building a base and feeding your dinos instead of going out and doing the group thing.
Now we have the terminals we can keep everything together, build group outposts and just travel around to where we need to go keeping the dinos central and aim for the Drop Pod defense and the Titan battles.
I'll try to not get too attached to my Dinos and cull the weak.
What are we going to do about the Tek replicator issue? Extinction requires one to make some of the new engrams (eg. Cryopod (https://ark.gamepedia.com/Cryopod_(Extinction))) and you can't get the engram for the tek replicator in Extinction! They expect you to transfer your character between servers so you gain the engram on The Island and transfer to Extinction and build it.
My suggestions are either: Fire up Ragnarok and allow us to transfer our character to Extinction once we hit a certain level (think it was 70 on Aberration?) or just unlock the engram for replicator for everyone. The second option would require us to farm drop pods for the Replicator blueprint which may or may not work according to posts on the subject.
If you open up Raggy you also open the option to allow transfer of dinos. Is there a downside to that?
I'd go with the level 70 then allow migration myself.
I will get onto the server in the next couple of days now that work has eased off a little.

You can't transfer dinos to Extinction but you can move them from it.
Ahh OK. Similar to Aberration then.
I'm happy to go with what you guys want.
TBH I really cant be bothered with the grind to 70, just so i can get my lvl 83 over from Raggy. I would suggest it doesn't matter what level someone is, if they want their character from raggy let them have it, they've already done the grinding why make them do it again!!!
Id say lower it to 30, so they have at least had to do some of the stuff in extinction
I'd love my character for the unlocked engrams and already-grinded-for levels, but I think just getting the tek replicator so that we don't have to back and forth would be better anyway regardless of fetching the characters... Besides, we're supposed to have a source of element on Extinction that isn't boss fights, except it was destroying bases.. ?
I can see both sides of this arguement tbh. We will definitely allow migration of characters - we have to in order for the game to function as designed i.e. for cross Ark-travel. If someone doesn't want to bring their character over then that too is fine. I'm happy to gift them the relevant engrams so long as they've been previously learned or unlocked elsewhere.
At which level is the kicker. I only started playing yeserday and in two hours of just general playing got to lvl 40 so the early grind just isn't a grind.
We've all done the serious grind and we've done it several times. I've taken two characters to lvl 100 and it's a totally ball-ache.
Upshot is that I'd rather have people playing on the server with a migrated character (or boosted character) allowed from a lower level than have people not playing but it needs to be a compromise.
Time for a poll methinks..................
Poll posted!
So how do I get my character transferred across?
Yay. Be great to have you.
Need to ask our northern brethren to spin up the server so you can transfer but certainly doable.
