Ark Survival Ascended: Essential PS5 Tips!

welcome back to the channel survivors the PlayStation version has officially launched here for Ark survival ascended we have finally been able to do a full crossplay between steam players the Xbox console players and now the PlayStation 5 players unfortunately still at the time of recording this video the windows version is not eligible for crossplay at least until they figure out a fix for the hacks and exploitation that was going on Via that Edition and in addition to the PlayStation 5 version officially launching they also dropped a slew of brand new servers they've added PVP servers PVE small tribes and console exclusive servers if you guys are not looking to participate in crossplay so with all the awesome stuff taking place currently today I want to just do a video going over each individual server type so you guys can make sure that you pick the right one what each one kind of means show you guys the brand new layout when it comes to picking and finding your server and then last but not least we'll dive a little bit here into what you guys can expect on the horizon all right so then now diving into the different server types starting us off we obviously have official official is going to be hosted servers by wildcard Studio themselves these are not hosted by a thirdparty service these are hosted directly from wildcard and this is going to be where you will find the majority of the player base not only will they have PVP servers they'll have PVE as you can see here they'll have EU servers in a servers Asian servers they basically have you know you name it every server type that they typically have available it will be listed here in the official you can obviously apply some of the filters down here at the bottom if you're looking for something specific same thing goes for up at the top you can change it to all types you can select PVP or PVE you can change it for you know how many days the server has been running so if you're looking to get on on a more of a fresh server start versus joining one that has you know been on day what 437 as you can see here for the oldest one you can check the Ping according to wherever you're currently located obviously you want the lower ping um versus the higher ping servers because the higher ping put potentially will give you a lot of like screen tearing lagging um that kind of stuff so you definitely want to avoid that so now moving right along to the next type we have and that is unofficial servers The Unofficial servers all of these are going to be um hosted by a third-party service these are all servers that people are have been renting from like NR as that is the current only server rental service that they provide for Arc survival ascended obviously going forward into the future that could change maybe G portal maybe eventually will get the option to rent out servers but currently at the moment only you only servers rented through NR will be shown here and although it looks like there are a lot of servers here for the non-dedicated I will state you might find yourself locked out on a lot of them because I do know a lot of content creators that actually limit to only paid players to help directly support you know the server in its funding and with that I would like to plug my personal public PVE Community server you can search it up here in the non-dedicated section make sure you have the password protected button checked off because I do not have a password literally anybody's able to join the server is called code Nation all one word no spaces once you go ahead and join in I do advise you guys to still join my Discord you can find that link provided down below because that is where I post all of the news information about you know anything related to that specific server and also times where we have to restart the server or if we're going to add anything or make any adjustments but either way guys thank you very much and hopefully I'll see you guys on the arc and now moving on to the third type we have and that is non-dedicated the non-dedicated servers as I've kind of hinted to a little bit are going to be servers that are privately hosted by individuals this could be either on their their same machine that they are playing on or this could potentially be you know hosted by another Xbox console or another PS5 console that they have or even heck another PC in general though these servers are going to be normally be private a lot of times they'll be locked behind a password and last but not least they should have a tether to the host meaning that you can't just explore the entire Island on your own you have to be relatively close to whoever is hosting the server additionally one little tip I'd like to add if you were struggling to find your server either that you've rented through NR or you were trying to join somebody else's that has an unofficial rented NR server you might need to make sure that you have this button either checked or unchecked if the server does have a password you're going to make sure that this is this checkbox is filled in order for you to find it and if it does not have a password like mine for instance for code Nation you're going to need to uncheck that as you saw there it does refresh it and then you can go ahead and type it in and as you can see we can find code Nation server here but again that is only once you have unchecked the the password protected because I do not have a password and the same thing goes for all of the other filters down there at the bottom you really need to make sure you know exactly what server you're trying to join especially if it is a a personal unofficial server rented by NR sometimes they might only allow PC players therefore if you're on Console you won't be able to join them and you technically won't even be able to find them unless if you have it selected here something for like PC only so again just make sure you're utilizing the right filters and make sure you pay attention to whatever server it is you're trying to join also don't forget to hit that favorites button so you guys can go back to it if you happen to log off at a later time and you forget whatever survey you joined now in addition to finding your server via the ingame UI I want to talk about and break down a couple of different things the very first one is PVP servers PVP stands for player versus player in a PVP server you will have the ability to kill other players raid other players you know break into their storage boxes destroy their bases kill their dinos name it it is fullon war between players unless you have some sort of verbal agreement or Alliance formed the second server type they offer is PVE this is going to be called player versus environment this means that you cannot harm other players you cannot harm other players dinos you cannot raid other people's bases that sort of stuff of course there are always going to be some exploits or some things that you could potentially use to your advantage like kiing a random Dyno to a person's base Etc but in general this is normally a safer experience it allows players to form you know alliances work together as teams to conquer either caves or even do boss fights together you name it it's just a really good sense of community on PVE servers and then now the last but not least type that they offer is going to be small tribe servers small tribe servers have a tribe limit size of six players and forming alliances like officially through the menu is not allow additionally the server rates for the small tribe servers is typically 2 and 1 half times for har tting taming and experience gains two times maturation two times egg hatching two times gestation and 50% reduced mating interval not only that typically the small tribe servers are not affected by Evolution events I will state in the past that we have seen some other specialty servers pop up like survival of the fittest for instance but currently at the time of recording this video they have not officially released that for Arc survival ascended when it does obviously we'll go deeper and talk about those types of server types and potenti eventually if it's something that you are interested in and now the last thing I want to briefly talk about are some of the best settings to run on the PlayStation 5 version if you guys have not checked out a video that I posted recently on my channel I really advise it it's a really short 6 to 7even minute video that talks about all of the best settings for Xbox and PlayStation 5 console players but just to give you guys a quick breakdown we have on the video tab inside of the settings you have motion blur film grain light Bloom and light shafts you want to make sure you turn off all of those things because just by doing that alone you can potentially leave the color grading on or off according to however you fancy you could try it either way but either way just turning all of those off will drastically increase the quality of your performance and when it comes down to the official console commands once you have turned this on there's a handful of stuff I would absolutely be typing in the very first one is r. volumetric Cloud space 0o the second one would be r. volumetric fog space z and the last one I would mention would be r. Shadow quality space 0 by typing in all three of these console commands on top of turning off all of those other things in the in-game settings will make a massive difference in your overall FPS and increase your performance by a far unfortunately it does reduce the visual quality of the game but hey if you're looking to play with tons of other people especially on official servers it's probably better to reduce the visual quality of the game to increase your overall performance because you definitely do not want to be lagging in a game like Ark where it is really unforgiving and that's officially going to wrap up the video for today guys as always don't forget to like comment and subscribe here on the channel for everything Arc survival ascended related also I do have a Discord if you did not know you can find that link provided down below I really would love to have you we've got a private PVE server rented like I said all you got to do is join the Discord to stay up toate with notifications about that server there's no password no purchase necessary we would love to have you additionally guys one final reminder here I will be going live tonight at 8:00 P.M CST on my YouTube channel and also I like to multistream to Twitch if you happen to prefer twitch over YouTube either way I would love to see you guys there we're going to be doing just a variety of things we might be doing some building we might be doing some additional breeding for T-Rexes to prepare for boss fights maybe attempt another Cave Run and just overall in general a lot of Arc Shenanigans but overall guys thank you very much for tuning in have a wonderful Friday have a fantastic weekend and I will see you guys on the next one
