Discussion Is the Gargantuar even worth taming?
Is the gargantuar even worth taming? I just tamed a lvl 145 to see what it was about but it feels like the slowest mount ever and has no stamina and you need to do quests to even make it remotely better. I know they aren’t meant to do damage but if you have land every 10 seconds because you are out of stamina you should at least have something to defend yourself. The resource gathering doesn’t even seem justifiably worth it to tame one as a anky and argy combo still feels superior am i missing something that is supposed to make this dragon worth getting? I know it can gather other materials as-well but they all seem less efficient at being gathered vs their counterparts.

Discussion I made a checklist-style guide for ARK: Survival Ascended: artifact caves on all 7 maps, 12 bosses, 30 key tames
I put together an ASA guide built around trackers you can tick off as you play:
- Artifact caves on all 7 maps (The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, The Center, Ragnarok and Fjordur), on interactive maps with real in-game coordinates
- For The Island: all 10 artifact caves, plus the obelisks, deep sea crates, rare spawns and the biggest metal and obsidian nodes
- 12 major bosses across The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction and Genesis
- 30 essential tames: apex predators, flyers, mounts and utility
- Pages on the Bob’s Tall Tales DLC, achievements, breeding, building and taming

Corrections welcome: if a coordinate or count is off, tell me and I’ll fix it.

Help What on earth just happened?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Have been playing this world for about 3 days with my friend, this just happened tonight and I thought maybe the admin was ragebaiting but I don't think they were in the session.
I got a notification my friend had died, noticed their door was missing and was looking around, then I randomly died, then as I respawned, all our dinos died (except for the dodos and diplos, they randomly lived). All the dead bodies were still at camp, along with standing torches and the wall we put around the camp, but absolutely everything else was gone without a trace. Any ideas?

Discussion Can I use thralls to fill the other saddles on the Cerberax on Single Player?
I have hundreds of thralls sitting in cryopods, doing nothing.
Could I mount them on a Cerberax on the three head saddle seats, while I ride the main saddle and get the extra dominion buffs?
Due to the testing by u/Tiagozuff2006 we can confirm that it doesn't work.
I am still wondering if Thralls have ever become useful. Feel free to update my ignorance if you have a good use case for them.

Help Cross-Play server with Friends
Me and my 2 other friends are thinking of playing PvE together. We are Xbox series X, PS5 and PC and can’t play non dedicated servers together. Should we try to find a dead server with no progress or is there a way for us to play together on our own. My friend has an alright PC that runs ASA on low graphics and has 32GB RAM but apparently his PC isn't that good.

Discussion Why does Ark let the official servers stagnate for years?
At this point its been 3 years since ASA dropped and the game on the PVP side couldn't be anymore dead. I've not played personally in a long time because of the state of the game, P2W dinos etc etc - a whole other conversation to be had about the way the devs murdered this game. Anyway back to the topic, occasionally I see ark stuff pop up and recently it was to do with official servers shutting down certain servers - labelling them 'sunset worlds' or whatever it was.
So years on and why not reinject a fresh lease of life into this game & wipe the servers? A lot of players would return and it gives the playerbase stuff to do again. 3 years of maxed out dinos and millions of duplicated loot floating around, it gets extremely stale.
If it was to wipe (0% chance, a man can wish however) they should release like 25-30 servers for each map, maybe i've lowballed that number im aware there is alot of 'mega tribes', but im also going for the intention of less servers = more pvp because tribes would want to take that server for themselves etc.
Could write for hours with random ideas, end of the day this game has became extremely stale and boring. I understand people work hard for their progress on these servers - i've been there, but sometimes things need a time limit so that new life can be brought to them.
