Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
Whelp. This is upsetting. I just installed the game fresh on Wednesday on the new laptop and look at how much space.
Shit. WoW takes up only 38GB. Yeah I don't know what they're thinking. All I can say is they better figure it out before full release. Otherwise the game is going to tank. I'm not suspecting too many people are going to pay for & keep a game using up that much storage space.

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
But still. 100GB?!?!?!?? Not one single steam game I have is even remotely that large. Seems like people are saying it's the way Wild Card does the updates. Something about it not replacing the files just making new ones. Which if that's the case no matter what you do it's going to take up more space with every update.

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
this.. soo much this... they could have made it soo simple. Its a brilliant game but come on.. the simple functions like play together on LAN is SOOOO complicated that you have to get your own server???Nothing is easy with this game.
Why not make it like diablo where you can play through tcp/ip adress? make it simple to play the game
and yeah the sheer size of it is going to make it tank.. they need to downsize it SO badly
im tempted not to play until august.... but probably will pop in once in a while.. but its soo silly that it takes soo much space and ram to run

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
Then I saw this:
so if you have mods at all they double install, once in the mod folder then in the temp folder as well.
This is probably the 15th-20th comment by someone saying the same thing. Prim Plus total conversion IS a mod. It's just a mod ran /owned by Wild Card. So it really makes me wonder if I removed Prim Plus total conversion if it would reduce the file size at all. Course that'd mean a full reinstall, unsubscribe from the mods etc. I may look into it more.

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
So yeah.. they seriously need to fix their patch/updates. That is ridiculous. It's bad when it was taking up the same amount of space as 5 games, one of which (Witcher 3) is a vast open world game with beautiful graphics and capable of 4k resolution play. So again, how is ARK even close to that in graphics? It's not. Sorry. Different engines, yeah yeah. I don't even want to hear the excuse that games now-a-days are getting bigger and just buy a new HD. It is DOUBLE THE AMOUNT of any game I have on my system, but is beat by their quality hands down.

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
Regardless. I am giving my center server one last shot to dazzle me before I switch it back to the Island permanently.
Has anyone noticed a bug map at all? On my servers there USED to be a like thumbtack showing me where I was. That is no longer there. Not sure if it's a bug or not.

Seilahyn - i totally agree.. there is NO excuse for the game taking on that amount of space! its super silly... its nowhere near the graphic on some of the other games i used to play

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
Anywho, I found a water fall nearby that had a big open cave behind it. It has some metal spawns, so I tried to build so I wouldn't stop them.
Just behind the waterfall I have my gate.
Further inside is my little stone house off to the side.

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
I forgot I had my horse on follow and she jumped in behind me and swam down to me. I always thought they'd steady at the surface. Totally didn't expect an aquatic horse. I can't call her a sea horse because it's a little cave pond.

Tarn - I hope it works better for you. I am not going to remove anything at this point. I'm not hurting for drive space in any way so.

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
IMPORTANT NOTICE IF YOU'RE ON MY SERVERS!
Due to the severe disconnect issue with the host they are porting them to a brand new node. AKA new IP address /port etc. The servers will be down AT LEAST one hour starting from 15:25 pm pacific time.
Progress shouldn't be lost. I backed everything up just in case anyway.
Servers are offiline for play. Sorry.

Re: Ark: Survival Evolved
Not to mention a whole bunch of other things I found out or was told. Tamed dinos have a max level based on what level they were wild. Basically they can only gain like 60ish levels or something. So you find your perfect color... it's level 5... from what I was told it will max around 70 somewhere. (This explains why Thanatos seems to have stalled out at 70, gaining exp at a much lower rate than others).
When breeding, the current level means nothing. It goes off their level when tamed. I bred my 70 male with two higher level females and got 30, 30, 26. He was level 5 when tamed, one female was 25 I think? The other I didn't tame.
So what's the point of taming low levels then? Why can't you put the effort into maxing them out if you want? Instead of just going and finding one already leveled... this seems like such an ass backwards system.
If I take time and effort to level one, putting stats where I want, I should be able to breed them at that level/stats. Effort=reward, right? Where's the effort part of taming a 150(max) other than knocking it out and waiting?
So there is no point in breeding for me. I want the colors, but I don't want to sit there for 12 or more hours constantly refilling troughs. Not to mention, they will be low level because I tamed low levels. I could just level them, but they can't max out... so what's the point?
Edit:
My god... the amount of Fatal Error crashes I've been getting on login and just in general lately are out of this world, and they want to come out of "early access" next month?
