10:32 The awesome part here was the Overseer itself-- it managed to calibrate all of the animals to be able to survive underground and even endure radiation for some of them in the time it takes for a bomb to explode! I mean, seriously, it must've gone through several thousand improvised calculations and system modifications in less than one minute! I'm certainly impressed!
Yes, it also knows when to throw a microraptor at the PERFECT moment to fall into a PURLOVIA and get your ass clapped by a GODDAMN ALPHA REX (this sequence of events happened to me lmao)
@@WiseOwl_1408 Technically no. The Overseers are Homo Deus. Meaning they started out as human before turning into supercomputers. Even so, that sort of processing power is phenomenal even for a computer.
WILDCARD SHOULD BE PAYING YOU BROOOO. Amazing content! I've never gave these notes a chance, just for the XP like many of us. I have 4000+ hours played and you made me wanna play again through all of the official maps. Thank you for giving us the full perspective of ARKs lore, it makes playing the game so much more compelling now knowing the deep meaning of why we are in the ARK. I remember when ARK was more glitch than game it didn't had any behind story, and then WC ended with a very cool plot for the lore imho, but I didn't knew well until I found your top quality content. So Thanks again Neddy, and happy new year!
Great vid! BTW, Rockwell had been something of a fixture on the Island for _years_ by the time Helena arrived, to the point where he'd helped draft legislation and peace treaties between tribes. EVERYBODY knew who Rockwell was, and he'd gained a very positive reputation. With that in mind, and considering the fate of Nosti in Scorched Earth, I wonder if spawing Nerva onto the Island wasn't a purposeful action by the Overseer to disrupt the peace and get things moving again.
Thank you, I had no idea Ark had a compelling back story. Usually I just breed and tame dinos and build whatever I come up with. Love this game even more now!
Why has it taken me years to find yoyr channel. I am obsessed with your lore videos. The games storytelling is what makes me come back over and over. Not that good at it but still enjoy the beautiful worlds. Thank you and your team for the hard work. Excited for your future content.
I appreciate this explanation. I am losing hope that the animated series will stay true to the actual story. At least we have your well-researched videos and survivor stories! Thank you Neddy and everyone else involved.
i feel like the inhabitants of Aberration could relate to the Team Fortress 2 engineer. “if it don’t work, use a gun. and if that don’t work, use more gun.” just replace “gun” with “bomb”
Even thought I was literally there it still amazes me you build pre-destroy AB.... anyway love the lore videos Ned! I've already got some of my freinds hooked on your channel with this new lore stuff. Much love as always!
Mann Neddy is the only channel that I have been able to watch his ark lore videos, enjoy them, and understand it. Props to you man. Your production quality is top teir
Gotta say it. Ned, you're my favourite RU-vid for everything Ark. I love your videos and cannot wait for the rest to come! Keep it up! Also thanks for introducing me to Raas when you played Monarky. Your videos led me to his channel 😂
I only have one question, if the force field on Aberration was taken down, why didn’t everyone die from the vacuum of space? Surely a cave wouldn’t be enough to protect them from that right?
I noted you said this is the second video, will there be a "The full story of Ark' playlist? I'm hoping so as I dont know which is the first video. You have so much content it's easy to get lost. Found it! ARK: The Complete Survival Stories (The Island)
The first video is shown at the beginning of this one. Ill be sure to explain that in future videos. These are NOT the survival stories, its a different video series.
On the aberration ark, there were large mushroom trees above ground, and simular fauna to the underground section, as revealed by the aberration epilouge in the new update
Man, I remember trying to piece together the lore from hints and data mines and shit back in the day. When I say back in the day, I mean pre-Aberration. Back when my tribe ruled Official Server 8 from our volcano top base….we moved to the big chair shaped iceberg before the ascension cave became a thing. I still remember by best prediction. When we first got the ascension run, I hopped to single player to map the cave and learn the boss routine. The cut scene starts and you see the network around earth. But way out near Jupiter you see another…something. So that week on the Arkeologist Podcast (on the channel of one Sean D Knight) I said something to the effect of ‘I think it’s some kind of alternate plan or backup, while one faction made the Arks to somehow reclaim the earth, that signal out the is a colony ship.’ It was years before Genesis proved me right Good times. Loved Ark and the lore. Sadly, the Official Server community is so toxic I can’t go near that game anymore.
I'm glad that you're layout out the story all together, as I previously just kinda had the sense that the story was just wall spaghetti: throw it all at the wall and see what sticks. I'm still uncertain that the story they gave us truly holds together coherently, but perhaps in your later videos it'll all come together.
I always thought Ark was that dinosaur survival game. And since i don't like survival games I never even considered it. But you are telling me it has a cool story?!?
Hey, how's it going? I'm just a lore junkie with no real interest in playing the game. I just saw a lore video of something completely new to me, so I clicked. Well, that was on that first video in this series. I have a question though... What's a 12-map ark cluster server? Not what is it in the hardware but what does it mean for the gameplay? Does it functionally operate like one big, shared map or something? Sorry I don't have an understanding of how all these maps or DLCs work.
If what you say about Humans evolving hardened bodies is true, does that mean that the players and maybe some of the story's cast have evolved into a new species of Homo Sapiens?
LOOOOL and I still CANT play SE. After buying the dlc or pass that came with Gen 2, it was supposed to give me SE aswell, but whenever I click on SE it would say I'd need to purchase SE in the store. Idk, I just wanted to get into that map just to clear covid 😆
I hope ARK 2 has no hackers like ARK 1 can't even do a boss fight without a hacker coming to kill you he is at level 190 you level 90 and yet he uses hacks to fine and kill you RIP ARK 2
While not officially, I don’t see why they can't be. There are hundreds if not thousands of stations orbiting Earth, what consequences is it that those maps are amongst them?
@@Zero-ge4vb because those are made by the modder's themselves, not WC I mean Lord of The Rings (Val and Fjördur) and Skyrim (Lost Island) in ARKs being canon? lol... There is a reason why WC scrapped the explorer notes in Rag because it is hard to canonify maps that are too fantastical for the lore plus allowing maps that I have mentioned to be official for us to play without a cease and desist from the real IP holders
@@sirpieman300 oh gotcha. you were getting a little confused with how i had general lore videos mixed in. ive just removed those ones, thanks for the insight!
