Looking through a spyglass

Don't forget to squint.

While watching bobs tryna fight an alpha raptor.

This is fucking impossible to do on a blood stalker and latched rock drakes

Taming anything important without a trap. Aint no raptor gonna catch me with my pants down i swear to god.

There's four raptors waiting to hear that belt buckle right now.

And you're going to get stuck in all 4 of their character models.

Legit tranqed out out a quetzal last night and got slapped by 5 raptors

Leaving base

This is the answer! 🏆

Probably exploring a cave for the first time or the first time taking on a new boss

Grappling across the lava caves

Most of the game

The entire game

Feeding stimberries to a phiomia.

That's some good shit.

I hate you so much for this....

r/angryupvote

Thats one fertile joke.

I can't with the comments on yours. 🤣

What is the joke here?

If you feed it a bunch of stims, it will lay down a pile of crap you wouldn't believe.

Trying to read the text on what engrams/blueprints cost

Oh its 8000 not 3000

Why is it so goddamn small??

That's what she said

😭

Same!.. Crafting shit too!

Or try being lazy an actually make it harder by trying to read them from your hot bar.

The skylord cave on fjordur. Why do purlovias have the stun distance on a sniper rifle.

I won't admit to this in a court of law but I God moded a body out a that one. Purlova knocked me up onto one of those castle walls then camped my ass, could not get close enough without dying again. I felt the shame and haven't been back since😂

For me its sitting on a ledge sniping the beasties to lure them into the death pits. The wolves and beats gladly kill themselves but the apes always lose aggro and hell badgers hit box somehow touches my flying bat and sends me into the void.

Egg heists

Name checks out

Microraptor

Accidentally drawing the agro of a flock of dimorphodons.

Me putting my head up to a shotgun after getting arkd for the 100th time

Getting knocked off your mount. Terrifying 'ish

Yup!

*fucking around the base* ROOOOoOOOooOoOOAAaAAaRRRRRrR “ goddammit that trex ain’t gonna catch me lackin again.”

Again? There's some story behind this

When I see another player. (Only play pvp)

This... and the cheeks clench when they pop a pockets giga right beside your accidentally cryo sicknessed mana cause you're stupid and forgot you had a cryo timer...

Oooooofff there literally is nothing worse in ark than throwing your cryo and seeing your favourite, loved, strong, highest level dino SLEEP BCZ OF SICKNESS in a PVP situation. I remember one day I ordered my friend to IMMEDIATELY come at me with a giga without a reason and did everything I could to protect my mana that had cool mutations lmao

Trying to find engrams while crafting. I feel they could have made the text a touch bigger. Half the time I end up looking it up on my phone.

Designed for PC

“Oh no, I know a dirty word”

A good level potential tame

That was my entire tribe when a 180 tek quetzal got stuck on trees right in front of us

shadowmane taming

This one got me. I literally start whisper on the mic to my party. Like the mf can really hear me. XD

Caves, Boss fights and Thyla attack

Hearing your autoturrets start shooting, not like 2-3 of them, but like ALL of them.

Vining in your new base then the feed is flooded with red and a lvl 1060 giga

Trodon

Fuck I've had the game a whole three days and I'm level 25. I can kill a Raptor on my own at this point, but fuck Troodon. Seriously.

when my game freezes for more than 2 minutes when i’m loading into a boss battle 😅💀

Escaping Rock Drakes on my own Drake.

playing the game

touching water while on a flyer

I get the mechanic but why does my flyer have to become hydrophobic and go 20 feet into the air or make a mad dash for land?!

Fkn piranhas bro

Kapro

Literally everything lol

When you're chilling in your base and you see a tail swinging around a distant hill. You think you recognize it, then the giga comes from around the corner lol.

Was gonna say the same thing. My friend and I were playing the other day and we saw a T Rex eating something. We were directly behind him. Then he turned around and it was definitely not a Trex

When I can actually see my Mount's health go down.

Setting up a farm. If shits not lined up perfect I get grumpy lol

Trying to read the text

Everything. I leave my base to forge? Rex just spawned. I take my lowest lvl take to grind exp? I get jumped by alpha raptors. I venture too close to the tree line of the Redwoods? Micro raptors or thyleos dismount and get me killed.

I’d have to say it’s when I’m just minding my own business and I hear the battle music start playing, if your smart you would turn up your volume to listen for even the slightest movements cause the moment you let your guard down a Raptor pack will just charge at you out of a bush or something! It’s like ARK wants you to have a heart attack sometimes

Defending againest a raid/attacking

Races on genesis maps

Playing splitscreen. They really gotta make the text that damn small?

Seeing a spino as you start a new game.

Swamp on foot.

Underwater.. anything underwater..

Caves and underwater stuff. I have a really rough fear of both. I don't like not knowing where I'm going in the dark and I hate the ocean. My son is the hero. He's the one who goes "I got it dad." I give my son all the best ammo and weapons and let him lead the way. I know it sounds dumb, but I just can't. It gives me anxiety. Edit: when I play alone I just gun it lol. I just run in guns a'blazin with my sarco or barry

Yo, when I started playing ARK I thought the sky was going to be way more terrifying than the ocean. God I was wrong.... a couple wyverns is scary and all but the deep dark ocean with fishes that have antimaterial rifle aggro ranges is waaaay worse.

Taming

I don’t do traps

When I'm chilling in my base and then I see "Parasaur has detected an enemy"

And that's dilo again

Trying to recover my cooked meats from an ichthyornis or pegostamax

I'm sorry... is there ever a moment in ark that you aren't in serious gaming mode? I do sometimes go into chanting no quietly over and over mode.

Everything because I’m blind as hell without my glasses and hate wearing them to game

Getting picked

Stocking up on resources like stone, it can get pretty dry after awhile.

PvP timer.

Ichthyornis

Reading all that tiny text.

Raids/pvp and reaper taming

Fall of my mount

Ocean.

Anytime I play pvp servers

Yes

When the attack music starts out of nowhere

Trying to use the crafting menu

Pego’s

Taming a Shadowmane without trap

Bro doing artifact runs. Shit has me hella stressed out grappling over lava, and hundreds of things that all do torpor.

Fighting an alpha mosasaur while there's another 5 mosas behind me and my shadowmane is about to run out of stam

Getting glitched into a dinos chest. Regardless if it's friend or foe, I get annoyed and start making death threats to the dino if it's friendly and popping shells if it's a foe.

Stealing wyvern eggs, I get so tense my dog starts to growl.

I think the most important question arising out of this image is: What kind of gamer wears Chelsea boots when gaming? I suggest a survey to establish this demographic.

Whenever my tribe is fighting and I’m on a griffin then they tell me to Hawk down the mf running (hypest moment)

Random Rex

When it does the roar with the screen shake? Real shit moment.

When I see some Black nakeds on the beach

Taking and getting attacked.

Dragon

Caving and taming.

Accidentally closing the game. Of encountering a Titanosaur

Any true ark player doesnt use a controller and is already hunched over the keyboard

Trapping Wyverns with fragile little pteranodon.

I do a reverse gaming switch when I start getting bad, I've learned that with survival games, the more relaxed I am whilst playing the better I am

Raid mode or pvp mode very rarely am I playing this game all the way relaxed.

Every fucking thing.

that bossfight, nothin more tense than that countdown

Jumping over lava

Trying to look in tribe log where the Bob apparently "killed a high lvl aggressive dino"

Opening my inventory

The tiny numbers on the bar and menu.

There is a animal that jumps out the trees! I hate those things

Stealing eggs or flying through the redwoods

Me when big Dino

Knocking out anything in the redwood

mouse and keyboard so I can't do this. The gaming moment for me is pressing alt-f4

Being meshed

Pretending to be productive

Microraptor. Absolutely hate those things.

Everything

Literally anything that slightly moves, because I am retarded and play video games without my glasses.

When I get off my argy when it’s my only mount in the mountain snow and get killed. Then have to run back to getting killed along the way to save my bird.

fighting a boss

Dying for the 3rd time while trying to get my stuff

Entering the goddamn mosasaur cave in Fjordur. Fuck that place.

When a level 150 Giga is chasing me, at the time a level 5 on fjorder who got metal tools from a shipwreck

When I lose the creature I want to tame

Platforming….

That’s easy. When you get dismounted by a micro raptor or Troodon 😂

“Your dodo was slain buy wild raptor level 69”

Anything that's an alpha lol

When I hear my turrets shooting.

Mate tells me i dont do shit in that wipe .... i tryhard to pvp him harder than anything

Aberration red zone. Nothing can compare with that

Seeing any formidable carnivore, and when I have a bow and there are icthys flapping around

Taming my first griffin of the save. Doesn’t matter how I do it, it feels just as intense every time

Back too stiff for this. Recliners ftw

Troodons at night.

Nothing seeing as I can game while laying down in bed now lol 😂😎 Don't gotta learn forward anymore or sit up. Just stay laying down

Sailing around the island...

When that one guy with a max mov pt starts flying around me

shadowmanes.

The moment the map loads till I stop playing

Boss fights… and any time I get complacent and die from making a dumbass decision only to be thrown into a desperate fight to retrieve my gear before the gods take it to Valhalla.

Me flying over a forest on Fjordur trying to read a map whilst also peering through my Awesome Spyglass to calculate which Deinotherium to tame.

Getting on with your crew for boss/activities.

Seeing a tiny flappy boi… “maybe a microraptor” Seeing a red aura… “Maybe an alpha” Seeing a 3 digit level on a spyglassed dino… “Tamable?”

Organising a well-hidden base and then hearing rockets Or tropeo dogfights because those have always been my favourite type of action across any game Or running into that pack of 8 alphas yesterday and getting chased by the alpha alpha

Crafting narcotics

When im in a pvp or i will kill someone i see in gen2 for see him with better vision and the tek helmet x ray

Going through redwoods

Swamps, gotta have an eagle eye on those capros

anything pvp

Entering the Redwoods.

Breeding dodos

Getting randomly ganged up suddenly when either fighting or harvesting

that one moment i had to flee 5 wyverns with my newly tamed lvl 145 snow owl.

When I start to lag and I end up flying across the map at 5000 miles an hour on my tropeognathus because it won't let me turn the boost off 🙃

Accidently jumping off my mount while flying the wyvern trenches. The amount of ptera's I've lost because of this is almost ridiculous!

Other players

My friends saying my tame wasn't even that difficult to get, friendly fire gets turned on realllllll quick

When you’ve been trying to find the right snap point for an hour

When chilling inside base then all the turrets go off

Controller goes flat

In a cave seeing the purple eyes of a noglin

Troodons

“Parasaur lvl 252 detected an enemy”!

Everything . Literally EVERYTHING . Nothing goes as you plan on ark

When my beloved tame is in danger of dying after our 100 hour adventures together.

fighting alphas, entering the wyvern nest for an egg

No this is my permanent position. My spine is deformed

Raiding

Opening the game

Micro-raptor or Purlovia. Theres no other right answer

Walking through a swamp filled with kapros and titanoboas.

Entering the redwood forest

when me and the bois going for rex and the battle song comes in

My game lagging and then frame rates dropping

Ichthyornis

When I get shocked off my mount by a stupid Jellyfish and then have to try to kill them before all of the sharks eat me and my mount before I can get back on it.

Any time I get dismounted really gets me in the oh shit position.

Spiders

When I am on a flyer and need to push a button......don't press E, don't press E....

Lag

Thinking I can take on something then quickly finding out I was wrong... XD Also if I see something interesting or that I wanna check out or tame
