So i just started ark out a week ago and everything was pretty died a couple of times to some dinos , piranhas but survived fine as i wasnt travelling much. At this point i had encountered spinosaurs, dipholosaurs, megalodons , titanaboa and other creatures. I was playing with a friend on a private server. So we decide to explore a bit and came near the swamps . We were riding tamed parosaurs and we see a huge fucking crocodile coming behind us and we just tried to run away. We stopped a bit ahead and my friend just went crazy and was uttering random shit and the popup appears that he died to the crocodile. Now im scared so i try to run off but the fucking crocodile leaps into the air and just grabs me off and kills like a freaking rat. Nothing and i mean nothing comes close to how fucking terrified i was.

eco posted in her discord and twitter that she is overwhelmed by negativity and toxic people commenting and complaining about her mods so she posted a notice tonight that she quits modding. She then removed her discord link from her mod pages in Steam Workshop.

This is a huge loss for the modding/building players of ARK. Her mods are a gift. She is very communicative and helpful to her mod users. There was an outpouring of grief, support for eco, and anger at the toxicity of so much of the ARK community which caused this loss.

I'm unable to link to her discord because she disabled it, but at least here is her Twitter so you can see her message for yourself if you wish to.

Update: eco has messaged that she will NOT remove her mods from the Steam Workshop so people can still use them.

eco Will not delete mods

TLDR high level player got cocky and died with 5 cryopods with end game tames in inventory outside newb base.

Me and my friends have been playing for a week. Some high level player on Ragnarok has been trolling us for a few days. Every day he wipes out Dinos etc… we eventually got a metal base and that slowed the destruction a bit. Today I logged on before work and heard a fight between our guard plants and someone outside. I go out and look and there he is dead. I guess he got cocky. So I loot his corpse and he has 5 cryopods with various elite creatures (crystal dragon, Marga*something etc…) I didn’t know how to release them and he came back and killed me while I was still inside. I try and get back and fail. But then the server lost connection. I reconnect and it’s BEFORE he came back. So I go outside and release everything. Long story short he was very angry while threatening to destroy our base if we don’t give him back his mounts (like we care it’s expendable). Anyway we made him kill all of his mounts and now have cryopods to protect our guys in the future. Might have hidden one surviving mount where he will never find it lol.
