I know for a fact if all Dino’s were allowed on ab shadow is the best cave in ark not even close. It’s embarrassing to say but I’ve gone as low as playing fibercraft,100x, 50x with all Dino’s allowed and my tribe of 5 built a shadow so well we exceeded structure limit in the cave and no one got into the up part of the water and very few got past the towers at the top no one ever got out of the water but we think the drop down we don’t thjnk arrive of 20 could raid the drop down with unlimited resources and Dino’s while we were offline. We did all this while we were in high school the five of us lived in Sweden, 2 in the UK, and 2 from the US we each played maybe 5 hours a day during school week and probably 12-16 on weekends. We’re not fibercraft bobs we played together with a group of probably 15-20 guys max on official, arkpoc, smalls, and other stuff we all quit about the time of gen 2 because of the state of the game.

[@TheDutchGameCrewNL]

I mean, i wouldnt recommend shadowcave at all. Just because you have 2000 mesh methodes to get inside this cave. Its amazing if no one ever cheated or meshed.

Gen 2 cube is op asf still

[@ruinxd3925]

1:big lunar is only good if entire island built. 2: fjord lab is good, only the water part though, everything else gets ran by desmo shadowmane 3: cube is ok. Needs alot of members for proper defense. 4: corner pillar is terrible. 5: sn is good. Weak early-mid but if left uncontested, it's strong. 6: pearl cave has like 10 different ways to raid, its just not good. 7: ice cave is terrible. 8:tree is good if alot of members, when attackers attack, it's on attacker priority and they will always have full tribe on. Attack variety kills this spot. 9: shadow gets meshed all the time but it's good if no mesh. 10: LI crouch is bad. Same treatment as ice cave, grenade launcher gravnade + carbo + stego + grapple glitch

[@thatoneblackkid5297]

If lunar wasn’t so easy to mesh it would be crazy

Here’s a serious question that stumps ark players everywhere Shock. How do you find active players? What keeps yourself and your tribe motivated to play ark for such long durations? How do you not get ark fatigued, like everyone else on the game.

[@Shockist]

i mean i do from time to time , its good to play other games at the same time , sometimes i play so much other times i hardly play!

[@TheJacemer]

@@Shockist appreciate the reply, you definitely have to play other games but how do you keep the tribe on track and motivated? I’ve seen in primarily in unofficial but I’m sure official is the same way- tribe starts out good, late game ark comes, people lose interest and you’re stuck with half of the tribe in sleeping pods

@@TheJacemer gotta get that lucky group, what you play on?

[@Iron_Dragon999]

@@TheJacemer out of my time playing ark I’ve played for close to 5 years maybe more and it comes down to are you fighting people because if you go out and raid or grief or just PvP in general it because a lot of fun unless you have a toxic tribe that screams at each other when they die and yes it’s risky to raid or grief because people take the game seriously like a job and will mesh or cheat to get revenge on you but going out and doing stuff is more fun then sitting in pod watching logs

Pointless comment

[@Monzter]

I'm curious of your thoughts about the offlining of Corner Ocean Pillar? I'm assuming offlining wasn't a large factor in your grading of each spot because I feel like Corner Ocean Pillar is one of the easier ones in that regard. Simply because you can't really have any towers to defend the base, so you're limited to only turrets on the main base itself. So if you're offline for a few hours, that should give anyone enough time to fully soak at least one side.

[@andrewsaunders2524]

U do be right is kinda bad

[@daniel-hp4ue]

yeah i think shockist is way off with the pillar you can just throw carbos in all day

[@Iron_Dragon999]

If you build it correctly then no people won’t and if you live on gen then ammo will never be a issue unless your tribe is lazy or y’all just started building it but most tribes have tower on the lower floor and maybe a crafting station with a lot of cliff plats with turrets people usually build h piller which in my opinion is a better name but anyways they usually build it for storing loot and take other spots like double lunar or big l or even some uw bubbles for breeding

[@2ballisticgaming846]

Why did u stop making vids 😢

[@landonallen9618]

While true, if you have a tribe where 1 person is almost always on, it is a really good spot because your only need 1 person to defend.
