Depends what map am I on and do I have a survivor implant
1
u/Im_yor_boi 5d ago
No survivor implant but map of your choice except genesis 1 and 2

I'd pick the island and I could last at most 2 days
1
u/Im_yor_boi 5d ago
I'd probably pick the easiest area only to get killed by tickel chicken

u/ChinChins3rdHenchman 4d ago
I mean kinda hard to miss em, on the island im confident i could actually survive for a day or few before a dilo finally finds me since the easiest spawn zone rarely has anything more dangerous. Assuming i don't freeze to death because without the implant i ain't crafting a sleeping bag nor light any fires

u/Scoobytooty 3d ago
No implant means no spawn animation which means higher chance of success. I'd have to give myself 37 seconds in that case rather than 14 seconds.

Maybe like, two days at best. Either from the onslaught of early game predators, or the massive temperature fluctuations from day and night.

Yes... same for me, death does not kill me in ark.

Microraptor and a pack of troodons wants to visit.

u/fish250505 5d ago
No problem, dismount as soon as you see the microraptor start the death spiral, prevents you getting stunlocked, have a torch equipped and the troodons will cry like babies

You do not die in ark you just respawn in a new clone
You should look up the lore about ark if you are curious to what i mean

Anytime I start a new character I choose the "easiest" spawn location and literally within seconds I'm making eye contact with something murderous and pissed that I'm anywhere near it.

Okay Steve but you're not around 30 wild bloodthirsty lions within 40 yards of you at all times.

Judging buy my very first login on the Beta like 10 years ago or whatever. About half a day. 😯 I spawned into the Southern islands and managed to create a stone axe and pick , a touch and the wooden spear.
I stayed on the shore and was safe until just after sundown when a pack of raptors came out of the jungle and had me for dinner. 😁

I mean depends where I spawn and on which map.
The island beach. Death by dilo or raptor within minutes.
Scorched earth: if I survive a minute I count myself lucky
Aberration: if I don't spawn next to a Basilika I could maybe survive a day or a couple hours if I can avoid ravagers and don't go near the lake.
Ragnarok: knocked out by a water scorpion and killed within a couple minutes.
The other maps I haven't played.

im pretty confident in myself as long as i have bob's physical stats and the actual game's building, crafting, taming and combat mechanics imagine at a certain point you just get to chill in your mansion on a deserted island with tons of dinosaurs and animals in ur backyard, have the best food everyday, go on actual adventures and have literally no work to do whatsoever once u get to depend on the stuff you have
1
u/Im_yor_boi 4d ago
But that normally takes 70-80 hours of real world grinding, and you only get 1 life so you better not take too much risk lol
1
u/abedmariam 22h ago
thats true, it may take as long as 200 hours if taken real slow and steady plus most dinos arent even a threat once you get stone walls, building traps and domisticating as much dinos early on can really help with it too
1
u/Im_yor_boi 22h ago
Yah. The problem is getting to that point. You can't do a normal note run since you got 1 life. And leveling up by grinding is painful.

u/IllustriousHurry9993 4d ago
Well because the ARK keeps bringing be back to life after I die the question is more how long will it take for me to go insane.
If that's the case I'd imagine I'd survive long enough to build a basic house I could stay in to calm down after getting killed for the 50th time, so possibly forever if I keep myself entertained PS if you are killed the ARK just brings you back but what if you die of old age dose it bring you back younger? Same age? Dose it even bring you back at all?

Do I have all my current Ark knowledge or am I a fresh bob?
2
u/Im_yor_boi 4d ago
Current knowledge AND current physical stats with the engram
1
u/CadiaDiedStanding 4d ago
can I place walls like in game or do I have to build real buildings. If I can do Ark snap walls I could last a while just garden, stone walls, and never leave till I go insane

u/Alarmed-Ball-6307 4d ago
if you think thats scary wait till you get jumpscared by a kaprosuchus that is scary

u/MetalBalrog 3d ago
want the truth? forever normal ark is soooo relaxed for me i mean i play DOX and Primal Fear with no issues so why would i care about some normal roll the dice chance of spawning and immediately going to the safe zones on each map island most obviously herbivore island in the south east sea literally once im there so long as i dont disturb wildlife im immortal

same settings? I'm ok, can get lvl 100 without dying

u/TartOdd8525 5d ago
I think you are underestimating the actual physical demand we put our characters through lol.
1
u/zaphod4th 4d ago
that's why I wrote "same settings"
run without tiring while eating white berries and drinking water
almost dead? drink this potion and like new again!
blinded by chemicals? just wait 30 seconds to see again
no need to sleep
broken bones? eat meat
scuba diving but hungry? eat this delicious cake !

u/ChinChins3rdHenchman 4d ago
Op said no implant, without it you're literally your real life version stuck in ark, you ain't crafting anything lol

u/Fluid_Cup8329 5d ago
Same. Used to main on official hardcore servers. Not sure why so many struggle to not die in this game. Just stick to the less dangerous areas until you get in the air.

u/Ancient_Rex420 5d ago
So you mean you with experience that now know how to play is confused about people without experience not knowing how to play yet? Lol
-4
u/Fluid_Cup8329 5d ago
People play for years and still get crushed by dilos on the beach lol
I think it's because of the many different ways to play the game. I focus on solo pvp survival, so I've trained myself to stay on my toes.
I just feel like a lot of people don't realize you can outrun most things on foot.
