I also stumbled upon this death wall and so did my friend. Very sucky situation but you can use the grappling hook to get your body back to a safe spot to loot it.

I guess you missed where the entire game is Early Access and sadly things like this will keep happening. Only way to not find a bug in the game is to not play it. I doubt they will alter their update process over minor bugs like this. Yes it is minor as so far it is one little spot where you are well into the game so you have plenty of extra to fall back on. If you play SP or your own server can even use Spawn Commands to replace if you so choose.

There are plenty of these ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bugs still on Ark Survival Evolved that they will never fix now that they can milk the ASA players. Quit slobbering on the devs knobs and admit they are ♥♥♥♥ devs that prioritize paid DLC over taking care of actual issues in their game.

Ah I forgot you trolls lurk in the darkness like cowards, waiting to run your mouth with your toxic waste coming out but nothing more. Go troll someone else as your profile, yes profile has been reported for Trolling. I am sure you will get a response from Steam Support real soon, hope this is the first time you are reported for this but if not maybe time off with no community access will teach you when to just walk away.

There is also an insta death wall deep underwater in the mariana trench. I lost all my stuff. Hah.

the type you are talking about must be different

the insta-death's i encounter are mesh protection

so i avoid steep hills whenever possible

because walking on them or sliding down them can trigger "anti-mesh"

and you die and lose your tame too no deathbag no death announcement no death marker on map gg

I see he was banned, but I have to add this in... I was willing to put my money where my mouth is and actually purchase ASA to try it myself. Then $1500 of PC parts later I can almost get a playable framerate on medium settings...

ASA is not stable and has way more bugs than ASE. Took me less than an hour of play to run into the bug where my crossbow won't reload. I fell through the world. I watched dinos teleport.... lots of issues. Can I have fun playing it? Probably. It certainly looks better. It is clear though that the priority is on how to maintain cashflow for the company and it's no surprise that bugfixes do not increase sales, sadly. I work adjacent to the software industry and I know all-too-well how little tech debt gets prioritized.
Sadly the developers don't seem to care about your game-play experience, if they did then you wouldn't be having these issues, there are less kill barriers inside the mesh than in the intended play area...
If the server lags (on nitrado is is always lagging) the kill barriers seem to kill you in places they normally wouldn't such as in legal caves, especially the tight spots.
You report a false kill barrier and nothing happens, you report a dupe glitch and its patched day of.
They didn't spend the time to properly set the kill barriers and it affects legitimate players more than not, back in ASE we had teleport and warning systems and they actually used to fix it on top of giving you back your stuff.
In ASA the kill barriers are instant and there is no support for it at all, it is their lowest priority and they make that clear by their actions and lack of response.

Certain tames will cause the kill barrier to activate and some will not, being on foot will 100% activate these kill barriers in those zones even though it is part of the regular play area, good luck doing anything in the mountains on foot.
Most of the dinos that trigger kill barriers are harvesting dinos which means you are going to have a bad time.
Transport dinos such as the Pela/Pter do not trigger anti-mesh in most known kill zones and meshers do abuse this.
You can tell they are not serious about anti-mesh at all since people can still C spin into walls with Pter and C spin through the other side into your base.

Meshers are still living in the mesh and still meshing your bases.

you're one of the saltiest people ive met go back to playing rust. obv ark isnt made for you if your first response to someone speaking facts about this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game is to report them for trolling. you're obv the troll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loser. this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the devs dont give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about the game they're literally making dinos cost money before you can ride them but spams the dinos around the map forcing us to play with a dino that some did not purchase but still have to see. wildcard and snail games are the most scummy game devs and money hungry. they arent going to fix any issues or bugs in this game because theres dumb ass people that will purchase and support everything they do like you for a example. you're literally as he put it slobbering all over there knobs. you're sitting there ina chair waiting patiently for them to take turns using your mouth as you defend this horrible ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ company

"back in ASE we had teleport and warning systems and they actually used to fix it on top of giving you back your stuff."
that antimesh with the warnings n the improved anti mesh wasnt created by wild card that was created by a mod creator that wild card decided to take from the mod creator n use it since they dont know how to fix there own game they use mod creators to do it for them and leave them with a thanks and a middle finger

since a steam mod has taken to censoring my comments, removing selective ones as he/she likes, i no longer post here


however, i encountered this same problem just now, same place he's talking about in the underworld

i saw a dead turtle and dead trike, so went to bite with my argy for the extra stamina for flying

HIGH LEVEL blue pyromane on shoulder: instant dead (wtf)
argy instant dead (wtf)
me instant dead (wtf)

repeated attempts to return see wtf it was, instant death, as the author of this post said


unlike the mesh deaths which don't leave a bag this horrible place does

i am thinking of building a base around it now

with that in the entrance :D

Does this happens at servers too or is this just another single player thing?
othan1 Aug 13, 2024 @ 1:49pm 
I hit it on a hosted server. Poor monke...but I'm setting up chairs around the perimeter so we can watch as the animals walk/fly in and die...free meat with a hook.
aspxnvii Sep 28, 2024 @ 5:31pm 
this just happened to me and my lvl 250+ Thyla on single player. Can't reach either of our corpses ;; now i'm paranoid to go into any of the caves smh

Stop using early access as an excuse for a game that's just a copy-and-paste of one that's nine years old.
