Hope you gigachad legends enjoy this one. We get set up on our Day one building our base, taming and raiding in ark Official pvp!

[@Youknowmikekhan]

Meta game podcasts would be dope /how many estimated base spots?

[@ZzSmok]

Hi H.O.D what's the difference between just normal ark official and conquest

[@cmac6136]

Return of the solo king

[@HOD]

Haha hope I wasn't too rusty I get big mojo back by end of series 😎👍

[@haveltherock164]

HOD your the only worthy content creator that I watch exclusively on TV cuz its godlike

[@HOD]

Haha it's an honor

[@seanwoodgate5335]

Awesome stuff HOD. Always felt I learnt the most from you in terms of PVP because you play the game utilising all the tools around you and don't only rely on godlike aim, bolas or movement. Preparedness gives advantage. I still remember a vid from years ago, you were 1 v 3 by the beaches on island, put down your turret, plant y trapped a section and baited them in. Very cool.

[@cmac6136]

I love the cinematic shots you throw in at the end.

[@HOD]

Yeah I think it ties it together well thanks for noticing haha

[@subtlewill1748]

Fascinating to watch you work!

[@JustinValenstein]

Hope this series keeps going.

[@HOD]

It sure does I have a lot of episodes to come

[@BidenCrashenomics]

I'm so happy to see that I'm not the only one who has difficulty jumping on a wyvern's back.😅

[@shanetestini5547]

One of the major changes i would like to see for ASA is wildcard bring back alot of the old rathole they blocked off. Crystal isles is a great map, but it was so much more fun before wildcard removed like 60 percent of the ratholes on the map.

[@woofmeowackwoof3810]

Do you like mean the mesh and all that. I started on pvp then moved to pve. When they brought in the anti mesh stuff, I was playing abb. It sucked heaps cause we kept losing drakes when diving to kill

[@dixxon28]

truly ark 1 will forever stay in my heart, the emotions the raids the random people tribes you met that became family i mean it was fuckin special, shame after genesis

[@2ndCavTrooper]

Awesome content man ! Hope you do some long videos too. Your vids are so chill.

[@HOD]

Yep I'll try and do some longer ones

[@blazeplayz6951]

Hell yeah man best way to start a wipe for sure I do this all the time now because of you love the vids man

[@HOD]

Yep it's so much fun to just snowball

[@gochiefs206]

Your so good at this game I just don’t even know what to think, great video man

[@OfficerHuey]

As someone who has so much time on Ark, and is known for official PvP, I'd be really interested to know what changes you would make to official PvP for Ark survival ascended. We all know official needs changes, and I think you could be a good voice to present ideas. Could be a fun video or discussion.

[@blackbettys]

no more cryo limited tek boom i fixed it

[@KC_604]

The god father back at it again I love it bro keep it up your getting me pumped for ark ascended and back to the bob grind I legit can’t wait to go back to the roots of ark again

[@HOD]

Oh yeah bring it on prim ark is best ark

[@snawsum]

Haven't been on PC Ark for super long and didn't even realize till today I am playing on the same server as one of the best ARK youtubers, who is also my favorite. I feel like a little fanboy right now, but the fact I get to play with the legend HOD is fucking awesome and if you raid me it would be an honor, but I prefer you didn't :D

[@woofmeowackwoof3810]

XD

[@emilymott5273]

Have just found this video and its helped me decide to give PVP a try. I have about 1000hrs played but am still very much a beginner having only played on my own PVE servers....your videos have made PVP seem like fun. Wish me luck haha im gon a need it 😂

[@AnkleMuncher]

I was PathofAnkleMuncher who was watching your Atlas stream cant believe you tame Arthropleura like I do. Ive never seen anyone do that apart from myself.

[@HOD]

This is the way 💪

[@gigga7334]

Nothing like a Hod video to watch while playing Ark myself. Your videos are the best!

[@The3Lego3Freak]

Still watching the content even though I've happily quit gaming, much love man

[@cjxd]

H.O.D. the 🐐

[@schnepexxx]

This actually reminds me of pre-gen2 arkpoc but will never feel the same since you know many more people are building and playing on gen2 so not many bases to find

[@HOD]

Yeah I stay of gen 2 and have a real good time tbh and you will be surprised how many bases I find 😎👍 but yeah it sucks knowing gen 2 is out there still haha

[@HOD]

I think due to the cheaters on arkpoc there is less people there 🤔

[@Youknowmikekhan]

This is exactly what I was looking for

[@alymaged6040]

Love watching u bro

If you grapple to crystal wyvern they don't agro. Easy way to make sure you don't get knocked off

[@mikethemilkman5246]

🔥🔥🔥

[@eestlanebootysweat7572]

ask yourself, why do dino projectiles loot the enemy. how does a poison ball for example, shot 20 foundations away, also transfers all the killed enemy's items into the wyvern. not like a bite where it's direct. we've gotten used to the bugs and strange ark laws so might wanna notice these for ada improvements...that wont ever happen

[@RbRnAngelz]

lmao i never even thought of this😂 ark makes no sense haha

[@rekt4083]

Has there been a single video where HOD DOESNT have swamp aids?? LMAO

[@HOD]

I record it in single player with 2 pc and re create the base

@@HOD thank you for the answer!

[@lincolnwolfe4195]

Can someone help explain like, how the tf he got rocket launchers and ammo. And then how he had enough metal/could carry everything to be able to raid and make a base ? Or is there a lot cut out of the vid? Cheers !
