Bro Syntac I’ve been watching for like 6 years now and I have always asked that you speak out against wildcard but right now I feel like we need it more than most. It’s no secret your censoring yourself about all of this stuff, you are the biggest are KZbinr, you have more subscribers than regular daily Asa players and that means you can make real change for the game. If you think everything all fine and dandy in the game then I guess you don’t need to lie but you know it’s not. Please I’m begging you man, you can change the fate of this game for the better, you have that power, but you choose to always stay quiet every single time wildcard does anything bad. Idk dude I’ve literally been watching your channel since the original Jurrasic Park series and it just hurts to watch you always choose to be wildcards bitch and never say anything bad about them. You do you man but I feel like this is long overdue

[@PrisonMike-mc8qm]

​@@wfisher4034how can you say you've been watching for years and not know how much Syntac has called out WC for their shitty game design? Have you watched even one episode of his first Gen 1 series? He literally called them every name in the book and told WC exactly how shitty it was that they designed the missions to require a tribe to complete. Syntac is a solo creator who very occasionally plays tribed with the boys and he was furious that he couldn't solo Gen 1. Stop trying to put the weight of the world on a single person. This man makes amazing content and brings happiness to millions of people. He's supporting his family doing what he loves. It's not his responsibility to make a million dollar company NOT be greedy and short-sighted. Also, QoL+ is basically the new S+, Syntac. Same pulling function which makes the game way more enjoyable. Keep up the great work and thank you.

@@PrisonMike-mc8qmwell said I 💯 % agree with you

[@wfisher4034]

@@PrisonMike-mc8qmYes bro ive watched his whole genesis series, im not here to defend how much ive watched this guys content because ive been through it all I remember he barely mentioned a few times how bad the missions were. But that little mission problem is nothing compared to what wildcard is doing right now, its not even close to being the same. It is very clear that Syntac is specifically going out of his way to not talk about anything that's going on with the game , like he maybe barely mentioned it once or twice. Im not trying put this all on him but he is going out of his way to not mention it that's what I don't like. So many people are just eating shit with this game right now that he is playing like everything's fine and dandy, its not his responsibility to fix this that's not what I'm saying. But going out of his way to not talk about any of it is not helping anything.mentioning how bad of a job wildacrd and snailgames is doing and expressing the need for chnage every once in a while is not "putting the weight of the world on one person" I just dont like how he actively ignores it and acts like the game is still great and everybody's happy with it, like no this shit is insane Ark has become a shitty mobile game equivalent and theres more fucking bugs than the first game and the game is now firmly pay to win, like this is no fucking small deal, this game is actively becoming shit and Syntac acts like nothing is happening. Like can you understand how fucked this game is, we will likely have 1-2 payed creatures for every single map that cant be removed like the pyromane. Syntac hasnt said shit about it, like I understand your point yes of course we should let him do what he wants and support his family, thats why I said you do you and wasnt very forceful. But like shits going downhill fast and at what point is he gonna say something, he didnt say anything when nobody could run the game how he did except the most richest in the population, he didnt speak out much when the center got delayed days before it was released, didnt say anything when the pyromane released, sealing the games fate as pay to win. Like again your right hes supporting his family and doing what he loves, but at what point is he actually gonna really address this, how shitty does this game have to become before he starts saying something, like he loves the game right, but the games going to fucking shit, so if he loves it so much is he just gonna sit and let it burn for the rest of the world while he acts like this is still ASE. sorry for the rant and I agree with your point I just dont like being made the bad guy here, you called me out for not watching him but Ive been watching this guy for soooooo long and so you kinda pissed me off.

[@wfisher4034]

@@Demon11726 bro im not tryna be the bad guy I love syntac and his content and I am very I hate to think that you guys think I dont care about Syntac and his family, but like you tell me at what point is too far, when should he speak out. this game is crashing and burning and were supposed to pretend like evetyhings alright, again guys im seriosuly not tryna be an ass and im sorry if i came off as one

Anomalocaris was the apex predator of the Cambrian era. Cambria would be a cool name for it!

[@ajoricardo]

I second this! Plus it reminds me of a band I like, Coheed and Cambria.

[@Dunky_Alpha]

Nah, he need to name it “how did you fried the rice” or just “fried rice”

[@melissagordon7479]

@@ajoricardo exactly! Love them

[@greysonainslie5887]

Cuttlefish

[@maybe752]

I expected it to have a shell crushing attack or something. That was its whole nieche it preyed on trilobites and tough shelled creatures other predators couldn’t eat. Thought it was the first Cambrian dino added, but ig trilobites and eurypterids are here

[@eclipsomations9282]

19:36 if you want hammer heads I highly recommend checking out the sunken world mod, ik the series is already started but it is genuinely an amazing quality mod and would perfectly fit this series

[@UniversalKhaosOG]

Yea I like that mod myself. Especially on the center map

[@georgiawarren2675]

Name suggestion, Shrimp! Cause he looks like an ancient badass shrimp 😂

[@Gotmotive8]

I'm thinking the same 😉 Name it Shrimp 🍤

[@ファリョン-s4o]

Anomalocaris translates to weird looking shrimp so that’s a good idea

[@Dunky_Alpha]

How did you fried the rice !

[@alexciesielski1840]

These things are very fun mutated. You could actually make a farm with the babies for silica pearls, black pearls, and oil

[@SurvivorDK]

"Wild Male totally not Anomalocaris" lol

[@siobhantheprawn]

I had to go back and read that 😂

[@UniversalKhaosOG]

Thanks Syntac . I appreciate your videos more then you know. Life sucks but you are a big help in escaping reality just for a little bit. So Thank you. I know its cringe to do this but i really really appreciate it and just hope you know how much a 30 min video about random dinos gives me a sense of relief and peace.

[@ItzJust_Russ]

You're really good at making me want to re-download this game Syntac.

[@MariaSky7579]

I remember when Axe was dolphin taming, he got attacked by one disguised as a dolphin and had no idea where it came from since he didn't know it could do that😄

[@loadedzune]

That forge looks amazing on that platform. Your base on this map has serious atlantis before the flood vibes

[@Thromash]

9:53 Syntac genuinely irritated with himself. We've all been there Syntac.

[@ldsketchy508]

One of the only times I’ve ever heard him swear 😂

[@nubbyboah]

When Syntac starts mutating anomalos, it's gonna get crazy real fast!

[@That_dev_guy]

Great video! Been watching you for about 2 years now and you have never failed to make me smile!

[@cccabbage1]

That super deep part of the ocean has the most metal nodes, bring extra scuba

[@austintripp5932]

I’m only a minute in so you might have realized by the end, but keep an eye on your pryomane on your shoulder when in the ocean. I almost drowned one of mine 😂

[@bornagain_cynic]

I have an Anomalocaris tattoo. Love these things!

[@bl4q1c3]

That is my niece's favorite prehistoric animal. I'll have to say, it's a pretty cool aquatic bug. But my favorite aquatic bug is the eurypterid, the sea scorpion. Stay frosty!

[@darklordofsword]

Ark anaomalocaris; like the size of a Sarco, vicious predator. Actual Anomalocaris; 1 meter long, probably nor actually a superpredator (jaws had no means to break shells), current theory is they fed on soft-bodied prey like worms or sucked up algae. Largest acrual Radiodont; about 9 feet long, and also a filter-feeder.

[@austinrestovic]

I have a feeling that organisms developed shells directly BECAUSE of the Anomalocaris. Soft-bodied organisms develop shells to protect them from predators, of which Anomalocaris was among the first. Not really much point in growing a shell if there is nothing trying to eat you, after all.

[@alexesloan8325]

There were the largest predator of the era but definitely not a super predator lol, I 100% agree with what you’re saying.

[@popebinga]

"He built right next to me!" several km away heh

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

So sneaky that they disguise as Dolphins. Since thats literally the only creature in the oceans you dont instantly attack when approached.

[@wrtrext]

I really like the platform that the forge is on. Looks great

[@raumantic5436]

Hi there Syn, and everyone else curious. The visual changes to the hunting levels do indeed stack when using mods that increase the amount of times you can level up your tames. The Anomalocaris looks great with all 3!

[@drasticbubble1223]

23:05 I think you are talking about the rhino saddle its really nice

[@DARK_EMPEROR_RISES]

i dont have a good pc but still playing ARK survival evolved and watching ur videos

[@GOAT-ri3sh]

Feel like the pull it mod could really help you in this series

[@DylanMenter]

For moving metal I've found that a mosa with only weight leveled for moving things in the ocean. I swim my mosa over harvest with the dunky then swap it over to the mosa. For moving heavy stuff on land I use a dire bear with weight leveled.

[@elvennations]

That's definitely an interesting creature. And I agree that the Megalodons should have a breach attack. That would be awesome.

[@kaos420king]

Definitely should look into the visual storage mod we use it on our server and definitely one of the best for moving resources

[@rhettbutler5397]

Plus it's just visually pleasing

[@Christena-s4w]

I love the videos man keep them up

[@Shadowspets]

Great name would be Zoidberg 🤣🤣🤣 from Futurama

[@draesoul4798]

If your thinking of fighting the alpha glaucus then I suggest using a basilo for the jellyfish shock immunity or the additions archelon if you have them. Super useful and very strong against them. The archelon especially with their jellyfish hunter boost

[@KingZenova]

I dont think ive ever heard cyntac cuss despite my amount of years watching him xD

[@-NoNo.]

i’m pretty sure the ambush attack executes a creature instantly if they are low enough on health

[@mohammedazharudeen7449]

Syntac I would suggest taming the glaucus (The sea slug inspired creature) and I think you would very much like it as a water creature. But I think you have to tame a Basilo before you attempt it because the Glaucus has the dismounting attack like the jellyfish.

[@kitchengun1175]

if you want a pack dino for carrying stuff around the base i think a gigantoraptor would work well, they have great carry weight and are obviously also stupid fast

[@Realisticat]

You could name it Armaldo or Anorith after the pokemon (as it sorta resembles the shiny forms personally I'd go with Anorith)

[@wa_custos]

Have you guys considered Super Structures Ascended? Makes transferring resources so much easier

[@sebastiannielsen9740]

I've been waiting for this video soooo long finally!

[@hitavi4965]

Honestly mistaking a xiphactinus holding a manta for a hammerhead shark makes sense considering thr Atlas hammerheads and the hammerhead mod you guys played with on older series like Caballus

[@rubi6977]

The Anomalocaris in Dave the Diver is named Yawie! 😂

[@wazzup102]

Name it scampi.

[@DarkCl0uD31]

" Decepticon " for the creature lol

[@userttt6318]

fun fact anomalocaris was the first apex predator

[@parthmudgal9270]

Syntac when will you tame one of those sea dragon type things that bask on the surface of the water with fins/wings out like a butterfly? It's on the top left of screen @6:49. Edit: Ok it's called a glaucus. Syntac when are you getting one? Because i want you to name it Kingdra 😂😂

[@drake713]

Set up the Bob's cart to haul the ingots indoors, then you can have almost any dino 😊

[@TheLordVyper]

Was I the only one who was taking physical damage the longer it took the ARK Veteran to realize he needed a saddle to ride the tame?

[@Leonlizard1111]

I think that Sickle might be a cool name, I thought that because of its mandibles kind of look like sickles/scythes.😄

[@wasiaronno1915]

Name the thing Pancake cuz it does look a little like a burnt pancake lmao

[@Xmastrent]

@Syntac you should tame the murder whale

[@Syntac]

Its a lv100 tame and would require much more progress than i have rn but eventually!

[@YoboyWaynne]

Name it LongyShrimp 😂

[@chomeboy]

can you build a train here? if so, i'd make a track from the forge to your base! like big companies do when they're near a port :D

[@JohnnyToledo1]

Name it Zoidberg!!!

[@YoboyWaynne]

O and Syntac nice thumbnail :) I’m a fan of it

[@SWarrior0]

2 vids in less than 24 hours bro u gotta rest 🤣 nah but really keep the good work dude🤙🏼

Hey Syntac! Name suggestion: "Riptide"

[@yeeticusprime]

Mutations on these would be so sick

[@zorufan0303]

24:22 a megalo-what? ??? xD

[@The2004STi]

Hey Syn, for ambush to be most effective, you have to have not been seen by the creature before you camo.

[@tobeysowders5915]

Love your videos bro!

[@Borgir619]

you should pump the stats into ambush because it gets really good when its on higher teirs of ambush

[@Arie420]

I really like the hunter levels mechanic

[@masonlowder3353]

Ya, you only need the death blow to be its preferred attack for it to count. using other attacks to weaken is fine.

[@seandenning8604]

I just watched the Pyromane episode and I think a cool name would be something like Scorch ,which could also be a tribute to Scorched Earth map. Loving your content Syn...keep up the great work and enjoy your holidays when you're going

[@aaronherwig2476]

One of the first creatures to develop eyes

[@thespanishinquisition475]

You should name it "totally not a Ichtyosaurus"

[@jimcleary1161]

Good episode

[@TheRealFa0lan]

Does the jumping pick up trick not work for transporting stacks of metal anymore?

[@ScathingSerperior]

Name suggestion: Anorith. It's a simple suggestion but it's what anorith is based on

[@lynknight21]

Great video nice tame

[@aceofhearts990]

If you guys want to check it out, The Sunken World mod adds a ton of ocean focused creatures and gear, perfect for the Center!

[@Alucard45000]

7:57 Are you sure he gets as much monetary gain from them selling it to us tho?

[@St_bane1]

You have to name it bill the krill from the hit film happy feet. But also a tip for the anomalocaris as you saw in the video they are pretty frail when you first tame them so be careful leveling them up as they arent actually that strong until you get one of the skills to 50 (i prefer parasitic since you can 1v1 alpha mosas without losing hp)

[@faraaziqbal8302]

these guys are hella strong, with maxed out parasitic you can facetank alpha mosas (with mobs), my base stats were 55 hp/dmg

[@Mistafr33z]

How do you have the controls on the side of the screen is that in the settings or a mod?

[@Supersot-oi4kc]

Name it pancake! It’s flat and golden orange 🍊

The direwolves of the sea!

[@qwertymine6139]

Damn, how do you have so many Cnidaria around? I found two when I was trying to collect Biotoxin to tame an Archelon

[@D-wrck]

defiantly name it ditto, looks like a ditto with the beady eyes.

Unofficial Pve Server , Server names Gigas In Paris .The brand new center map. Slightly boosted rates where things are still a challenge. Active community with about 13 active players , people are willing to work together! We also have our discord set up !

[@xtinctkingo]

I got a question, so if someone who has the premium dinos tammed and drop it to you, do you need it yourself to have the tame?

[@DracoJ]

If you actually want a nice hammer get a sphyrna through the TSW additions mod!

[@adam35099]

any reason you are not adding a pulling mod considering this is kinda a lightly modded series would solve the metal transferring issue
