Lava, I read the first chapter of your new story, Prior Extinction, and it was great! The name is familiar to me because it reminds me of some dinosaurs. It’s a really cool story idea. The toilet paper famine reminds me of COVID times… ah, that was a nightmare. And the narrator is really getting the dead significant other treatment.. Sad 😭I cannot wait to see more of this story Lava.
Break-it to be honest, it’s all up to interpretation. Usually Pay to Win is for the PVP aspect but ARK isn’t always PVP, it’s PVE sometimes too and Singleplayer / Co-op. People say ASA is “pay to win” because certain creatures are locked behind paywalls (for example the Oasisaur). Technically that should make ASE pay to win too since a bunch of creatures are also locked behind DLC’s. If you’re playing either game singleplayer or PVE it’s honestly not really gonna matter that much. You don’t need to buy the DLC or pack because not having it won’t affect your gameplay.
I don’t really play ARK PVP so I don’t really care at all, but that’s what I know so far.
Sunny, Chapter 12 of TLW was really cool! I was wondering if we were going to see a POV of Daniel, Willow, and Camille anytime soon, since they didn’t get much development in THOM. So it looks like the Black Skulls are recruiting them next. Interesting, I wonder who this lady is? It might be the “Master”’s wife. Or perhaps some other player yet to be revealed within the Black Skulls’ scheme. They seem pretty smart though, if they were able to easily infiltrate the prison like that. These Black Skulls seem to know a lot about the War of the Phoenixes, hmm… I wonder if Daniel or even Camille will even bother with wanting to work with them, since Daniel’s cool with Josephine and Camille was pretty chill too last time I remember. Willow though will definitely want revenge on Josephina. Anyway that was fun stuff.
Sunnyfox, chapter 12 of TLW was great!!! Seeing Willow, Camille and Daniel come back is great!!! And the Black Skulls are recruiting them!!! Ooh Willow’s got some revenge planning to Josephina!! I wonder what’ll happen next!!! I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait for the next chapter!!!

Lava here-
I think I’m gonna start a new story in defense unit about a futuristic city in ark… before king titan corrupted extinction.
I have tried to make stories like this multiple times however I always have something that doesn’t let me finish it so this time I will try my best
I’m thinking of the name being “Prior Extinction” but it may not be as that is a little unoriginal
Anyways thanks for reading and make sure to check it out
Just a random question. I’ve seen some people in other animals say that ASA is a pay to win. Is ASE technically also a pay to win? Because you need to buy the dlcs of Scorched Earth, Aberration etc. Or is ASA a game where you just buy awesome beasts and cool new things? I’m just curious is anyone whats to respond.
Break-it The Final Witness
Ben, Chapter 68 was amazing!!! What Layla did was horrible, and while she feels bad. I have no pity for her to what happened. I do feel bad for what Paige had to do though. Patrica and Ian are falling in love!! Ooh!! And they are planning a rebellion against June?! I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait for the next chapter!!!

Wyvernian, in TAOH most of the stories that exist here on the Dex are canonically active and read by many in TAOH’s book club. The Obelisk is one of them, along with TROTP, A World of Dinosaurs, and probably Hope’s Cry too. Some stories that are NOT a thing are Ultimus, Journey, the Pandora Chronicles, and Queen of Aberration since the characters who represent these authors are not a part of the Book Club in TAOH. It is also important to note that The Obelisk is the only story in TAOH that was written, which means this Sunny version shouldn’t know about Rage, Snake, Tago, or Zeer. There may even be confusion about it. Although I think this Sunny-fox will try her best not to spill the beans. Hmm, I wonder what would happen if someone figured out it’s all just a story.
PrimalApex, Chapter 14 of Journey was really good! I like Nectar the Rhyniognatha, it’s refreshing to see a creature usually portrayed as villainous be good in the sense that they’ll help the protagonist. She kind of reminds me of like the role Bramble plays in The Obelisk. Anyway she’s chill and I think having her on their side for their time on The Island would be pretty helpful. Hmm, she used to be tamed, interesting. That’s an interesting perspective. I wonder if we’ll meet any humans in the story any time soon? Going to the volcano though? They’re probably gonna try with the TEK cave.
Wyvernian, Chapter 36 of TOT was really good stuff! First of all, that’s who convinced the old count to drink the Broodmother blood? That’s interesting, I don’t think we’ve heard of that fact before in PC. Well that’s good to know… Also the Rockwell “explorer note” was really on point. Then again Rockwell is just some crazy old man who fell in love with element. Although I think it would have been helpful to put some dashed line or something to signify it’s changing perspectives because I thought Jethezzar or one of the creatures said that. Captain Shortstacks mocking Samuel was pretty funny ngl I honestly expected someone to chime in “Why is Star” what would have been perfect. Samuel’s personality was on point in this chapter, since at this point he’s acting more on impulse rather than rationale because of his new endgoal. Anyway, the Shadawkeep looks and sounds really cool from its description, and everyone has a throne? That actually sounds cool. Just imagine walking into a bad guys’ castle and there’s like twenty thrones waiting for you and each one has some bad guy on it. (Captain Shortstacks throne tho…)
I wonder what Drain’s plan is?
Anyways, poor PrimalApex. It’s already back to him after like three days. Sorry dude, I think I’ll take a little longer on my chapter just to give a break!
Sunny, chapter 35 was great, really well written fight scene, they are always hard.. and this Sunny-fox is aware of the stories? So it’s quite literally you? Hmm hope she keeps her mouth shut, this could cause some uhh, heart attacks and “I’m not real nothing matters” stuff..
-Wyvernian
Ben, That’s interesting. Hmm…he survived a hanging…who’s ever done that? LOL, jk I know someone who has…
This Ben seems dark and broody, like he could easily be a villain. Wait does that mean Sunny was hanged too?! Could she still be in the timeline? Even if she wasn’t….let’s just say “the same”? I would like to hear what you think…

Sylveevee, Chapter 23 was great fun to read! So Carnilius and Draco are scared of Sunhigh and Moonhigh because they think they’re going to eventually grow stronger than all of them and pose a threat and now they want to get rid of them (super messed up btw since Carnilius is THEIR DAD). While those are some valid reasons, I think they fail to consider that Syl is their adoptive mother and therefore can keep them under control… Also I feel bad for Drake, he’s only trying to make Syl feel better. Communication is always good for healthy relationships. Anyways I hope Syl and the others can handle themselves since now Draco and Carnilius may be on their tail.
Yes Sunny, it is the version of Ben who was transported to the TTDOT storyline briefly. Although a correction was that he WAS hanged, and he did die in that timeline. If you reread Chapter 23.5 you’ll notice everything glitching out and whatever at the end… so I guess you could say that that was what happened.
A few important details I’d like to mention for this version of Ben:
1. He hasn’t personally met the ROTP family, but he is aware of them and knows who they are. He has come face-to-face with Michael however. Since Michael was responsible for his “death”, he won’t be so pleased if he meets him again.
2. He holds a vendetta against Samuel. The reason Ben was so happy even though he was about to be hanged was because he saw Samuel and Aurora in the crowd, and knew that he’d live to see another day. Since Samuel couldn’t save Ben in time…
3. This version of Ben likes to wear sunglasses wherever he goes so that he can read people’s eyes without being caught.
4. He tried to speak with Paul the Bartender and become friends with him, but he seems to have no memory of Ben.
5. This version of Ben still has the forever flower. Additionally, he has seen the mansion but didn’t want to go there because he didn’t feel like walking up the stairs.
6. Ben is really good friends with Bear, even though Bear is really forgetful. The two make a good team together. Ben is the brains, Bear is the brawn.
7. The golden heart locket he wears around his neck is an exact copy of Aurora’s. He found it laying next to him on the ground as soon as he was transported to the Omega Timeline.
8. Ben has given up on trying to go back home. He’s accepted his fate and has just decided to suck it up. He has no motivations to do anything, you could even say he’s depressed and hopeless. But with this new threat on the horizon he’s feeling a bit more rejuvenated.
9. Ben actually wouldn’t recognize any of the TAOH cast. So much time has passed for him he’s forgotten what they looked like (except for Samuel).
10. Despite everything, Ben’s done all he can to keep his promises intact.
