Sadly ARK really only cares about the PvP community and has been that way for years. The nerfs and buffs they have done over the years reflects that. Poor manas
I think if they at least buff the velonasaur pretty heavily, that would help. I get pvp nerfs, and preventing velonasaurs from soloing supply drops, but they feel weak now, which is ridiculous giving the new creatures.
i LOVE that the armordoggos dig into the ground like monster hunter palicos/palimutes. Its such a good solution for them keeping pace. i don't even notice they pop out of the ground behind me to always be available.
@@Quagzorkan Monster hunter fans also really like Horizon Zero Dawn, lots of overlap and Ark has a similar premise; even though its a survival game. I just like dinosaurs, robot dinosaurs and monster dinosaurs LOL
Sanctuary it's super cool, sad on official its all spammed with foundations ... I haven't saw an armadoggo yet, After 5 days 😂😂....its on me for keep play on official i guess😅
Some treasure maps say (Requires Digging Companion) as opposed to (Requires Shovel) like the one you had. The RDC one I got, as soon as we were in range the doggo just dug it up with no input from me.
27:42 Sometimes animals have unique uses for things, like in the Velos jump animation, it uses its front claws to catch itself so it can immediately be ready to fight. The arms were probably used more before it was consumed by the good element it has on it, after that, it used its defensive spikes as primitive bullets
Speaking on the genealogy of the velonasaur, if a creature like that were to exist, evolution would have played a part in it, the arms may have been there before the "machine gun" spikes, but its prey evolving to be faster may have caused the spines it had to evolve to be a projectile Or the arms could have grown long for ripping and tearing prey apart once they fall, or for more risque part of the evolution process.... 👀 speaking scientifically of course!
Just a word to be careful with Dino depo at the moment. The auto capture seems to be crashing the game for many people ( myself included ). Everything else is fine with it, just turn off auto capture.
I hate how the old traps don’t work. Makes velonosaurs so much more annoying to tame but their new knock out animation is funny especially when mine landed on a tree and it look liked he passed out drunk. Ironically mine was also a 130
Not sure if you found out yet or not but the armadoggo digs up hex infected treasure like gun and armour traits. He will get his own map when he kills stuff. I hope that helps you or someone. Great video much love, cheers…!!
Leveling food stat on archelon makes it give more algae.. for those that didnt know this.. another new tip.. if you like gacha's.. pego's now have an option in thier radial wheel to pick up gacha crystals.. ❤ happy holidays everyone
The reason WildCard did map locking with creatures and materials is to force everyone to go to those maps. If they made one or all maps have access to the same materials it comes down to building on that one map or building on a favorite map, and most likely will never explore or go to those other maps cause there's no point or benefit. In ASE it was a problem to lock mats and dinos cause you either had to pay for that map or trade with other players for those, but in ASA you pay for the game and you have access to all the maps (sadly not all the dinos or items) making sense to map lock. Also, it would be an big issue on official servers to make one or all maps have it all because it would overcrowd the one map or favorite map. ASE had a problem with this on many official Ragnarock servers where you couldn't tame dinos cause the server reached the dino cap, you couldn't build anywhere (getting started at least on the beach), and/or the server would have frequent crashes/lag spikes just because Ragnarock was everyone's favorite and was the main trading hub for major trading communities. Although I guess it doesn't effect you since you don't play official much, official servers in ASE and ASA were and are the majority of the player base. Edit: Merry Chrysler!!
Merry Christmas! And honestly if their crippling the damn Extinction creatures again they might as well just remove them from the game and slot in something else. Cause they didnt need another damn nerf!
apparently, the headshot damage change is not just a general buff, "more creatures get headshot dmg" but also a general nerf, "just player can deal headshot damage"
so i think because of when i saw you shoot the baby carno im pretty sure its hitbox specific and the needles for some reason need to hit different box segments of the creatures for some reason. for those who havent seen theres often times a small box around the individual parts of a character. if so its def a bug and should be easy enough to fix so have hope
There are benches right where you were hitting the lampposts near the big glowing orb. There are some trees that are on raised square things and some of the sides of the squares have benches against them.
I would have gotten the baby allo, good base protection (also from Axe, he was sad he couldn't reach your body at your first base. Add more spikes to your permanent base)
i think last episode you mentioned getting a beaver for wood but with the lack of kibble, a thorny dragon with prime would be a lot easier and they do OK carrying and gathering wood.
Merry Christmas syntac and dude if you’d like silk….i think you were after it last episode anywho….look for it at 84.1 long 86.1 it’s that little island (sort of), in the middle of the desert biome. You’ll find plenty there or in front of the desert titan cave (really dangerous bc it’s like at the entrance of it). :/ best of luck dude!
The headshot edits are interesting, I like being able to get headshots on more creatures with ranged weapons, but I think that melee attacks getting headshots was disabled..
I wonder if Evo is in this series or if he is still taking that break. either way i wish him the best and hope to see him return, as well as happy christmas everybody
Hey @Syntac ! I've noticed that Armadoggo has a rendering bug. In my single-player save, anytime my armadoggo gets stuck out of render he "dies." I know he's not being attacked because nothing loads out of render on single player, so it's literally impossible for him to have been killed by something.
Yeah they always could but in ASE they’re climbing was on while sprinting or when they teleport onto a wall. In ASA you hold jump for climbing, but the climbing on when you teleport is the same
6:28 honestly i dont think he does. Cause in the trailer, there is a person in the background digging. But i can completely see why alot of people think it might or does cause i did too until i noticed that.
For the dog to dig you need to find a special treasure map that saids requires companion. I got one once and I think it said the doggo found it on a corpse but I’m not sure how good the loot is because the chest got broken before I could loot it
Which are also bugged of course. They lose big chunks of health on server restart and sometimes just desync (even in singleplayer) sending you teleporting back and forth until the game crashes
I wonder if the scrap metal reduction was a balance reason because of the steam forge. with easy to obtain element to power it now, if scrap metal gets a similar smelting recipe to metal ore I could see it being very overpowered.

Merry christmas bro🎉🎉
The big arms might be to get food from the things it's kills since it has a smaller jaw then things like Rex's or Carnos
Christmas at the barracks
Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Crismas!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry christmas
I sure love it when Ark blesses us with the Christmas gift of nerfs and power creep
Its been like that. They just copy/paste ASE.
That spilled drink cut was both hilarious and too relatable
Ark Dev here…
The velonosaur is working as intended. If you want them to hit 100% of the time, you have to pay for premium tames content.
Is that a joke?
@@Spinno. it's 100% serious

I really want a mod to rebuff extinction creatures back, loved playing with them solo pve back when they released.

@@betafishjeremy7454at least theres a mod out now to un-nerf manas
@@betafishjeremy7454 He says as practically every single new addition to ASA has been catered exclusively to PVE
@@__-be1gk Thats modded stuff being added to vanilla. Also the acro and deinotherium are absolutely made for pvp.
i LOVE that the armordoggos dig into the ground like monster hunter palicos/palimutes. Its such a good solution for them keeping pace. i don't even notice they pop out of the ground behind me to always be available.
Its rare to find another mh fan outside of mh XD❤
Its possible to love ark AND Monster Hunter 😊
@@chimerakait makes sense its just a rare instance lol to find both of those things
@@Quagzorkan Monster hunter fans also really like Horizon Zero Dawn, lots of overlap and Ark has a similar premise; even though its a survival game. I just like dinosaurs, robot dinosaurs and monster dinosaurs LOL
That was my first thought as well!
I love how the city looks old and worn down now...This map looks amazing so far!
Sanctuary it's super cool, sad on official its all spammed with foundations ... I haven't saw an armadoggo yet, After 5 days 😂😂....its on me for keep play on official i guess😅
The height of the treasure map doesnt matter, just go under it and pull out the shovel. Merry Christmas everyone!
It's so hilarious the boys always end up building right next to each other 😆 great minds think alike
I don't mind long videos, the more I get to watch, the better 🙂
Merry Christmas
I'm having trouble picking between both of yours and Axeman's series of this! I love both of you so its kind of hard! 😂 And also Merry Christmas!
What even is this message. Just watch both....
11:23 You know what you should do. Put your drinks in the freezer…
Gets new tame… promptly almost kills it…. Yep, never change Syn. 😂
When he laughs to himself about saying obviously while talking about ovis was peak entertainment for me😂
If you might have forgotten, the enforcer can climb walls like a thyla and climb the skyscrapers.
Yep but I no longer have one lol
@ oh no I’m sorry!!
Syntac has S tier comedy and S tier editing

The Velonasaur was great for single players as it made the gameplay meant for Multiplayer way easier and reasonable. I miss the OG too.
The Battle music Though..

as I have to work today i really appreciate the upload. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas SYNTAC enjoy ur day also love ur vids man keep up the good work
Jim did say he wanted to build there before Extinction ASA even released. So I'm not surprised. I think it's his favorite spot.
Merry Christmas!
nice timing keep up the hard work.

That water guyser would be perfect to blast you up in the air and use a glider!!! 😃👍
apparently, the headshot damage change is not just a general buff, "more creatures get headshot dmg" but also a general nerf, "just player can deal headshot damage"
In what way is it a nerf if only the players can do it and not wild dinos?
@@alexmercer7946 wild dinos definitely still hit headshots, and from my experience tamed dinos no longer do.
so i think because of when i saw you shoot the baby carno im pretty sure its hitbox specific and the needles for some reason need to hit different box segments of the creatures for some reason. for those who havent seen theres often times a small box around the individual parts of a character. if so its def a bug and should be easy enough to fix so have hope
Maybe the big arms are to dig? Or to transverse terrain and less of an offensive weapon they could use it to get the high ground and rain down spikes
There are benches right where you were hitting the lampposts near the big glowing orb. There are some trees that are on raised square things and some of the sides of the squares have benches against them.
I would have gotten the baby allo, good base protection (also from Axe, he was sad he couldn't reach your body at your first base. Add more spikes to your permanent base)
Syntac, I play on single player, and Velos have the exact same problem with their spine attacks there, meaning that it isn’t a latency issue.
So I haven't finished the video but the dog will dig up hex-crates, crates for the shovel, you still need to dig it up.
Merry Christmas 🎅
Merry Christmas to you to
i think last episode you mentioned getting a beaver for wood but with the lack of kibble, a thorny dragon with prime would be a lot easier and they do OK carrying and gathering wood.
yeah i was thinking of getting one
Merry Christmas
33:51 imagine if the vilo could also do tourpour
Merry Christmas to all and I wish you a happy ark year
The Direwolf can get going super fast with their jump doing the spam jump
The bones from Dino’s work in deco boxes and scale with box size.
A part of me I was expecting when you slowly walked out the asteroid was going to hit right in front of you
Happy Christmas day you are the best youtuber i love your video❤❤❤❤❤❤
Literally built over there too, started where Jim was at then built where you pointed at
Add in op creatures locked behind a paywall and then nerf the already exisitng creatures, love it! Wildcard silliness aside, merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas

I was watching a giga mutation video and I saw syntacs old UA-cam symbol thingy so nostalgic
Merry Christmas you mad lads and lassies
Mid range they are great. Close or far they don’t want to register the needles.

Yes they could
Yeah they always could but in ASE they’re climbing was on while sprinting or when they teleport onto a wall. In ASA you hold jump for climbing, but the climbing on when you teleport is the same
I wonder if mine are buggy? For me i can climb the overgrown tree parts rapping around the buildings but not the buildings themselves
@ weird, I can climb on near everything
You have to teleport to the wall,then you can walk on it.
How did you fix the game crashing when opening your inventory?
6:28 honestly i dont think he does. Cause in the trailer, there is a person in the background digging. But i can completely see why alot of people think it might or does cause i did too until i noticed that.
For the dog to dig you need to find a special treasure map that saids requires companion. I got one once and I think it said the doggo found it on a corpse but I’m not sure how good the loot is because the chest got broken before I could loot it
10:45 that was an ovice no ? 😂😂
Dawg that was a horse
Equus
lol apparantly i'm blind
I wish that if a meteor hits around the same area of the shield enough it could weaken it and chance to allow some to come through
Some parts of the city, the meteors do get through. The shield only covers the upper portions
Can't wait till you get the Mad Max vehicles. It'll be a lovely day, WHAT A LOVELY DAY!
Which are also bugged of course. They lose big chunks of health on server restart and sometimes just desync (even in singleplayer) sending you teleporting back and forth until the game crashes
I wonder if the scrap metal reduction was a balance reason because of the steam forge. with easy to obtain element to power it now, if scrap metal gets a similar smelting recipe to metal ore I could see it being very overpowered.
I was thinking maybe you have to put the map in your dog inventory to have him dig for your treasure map
I think they just messed up the hit detection on the velo, it looks unintended
Its broken on sp, so not lag related, however it seems to do damage normally in first person so I think its just bugged
Whats mods are you useing?
Syntac making some progress meanwhile I have played three different times and crashed while losing all my progress on PS5.
It might just be that all the hits are counting for the velonasaur it’s just not registering all the damage numbers but idk
Headshots are no longer possible to do with creatures, only humans and structures
Merry Christmas may God bless everyone
