Is ascending even worth it?
So If you go trough the tek cave and ascend you gain some aditional levels, but the way I read it on the Wiki you also lose all of your gear and all the dino's you brought with you into the cave? I'm gonna need good dino's and good gear to clear the cave but if it's all gonna be gone afterwards what's the point of ascending at all?

No? In my other post I simply ask what happens when you ascend. Now that I know that I wonder what opinions people have on the value of ascending. Different matter entirely.

lol what? the topics are both about ascending, the point of it, and whether you should do it or not. thats the exact same matter just phrased differently, no need to create a whole other topic for it.

you don't lose your gear or your dinos, that is completely wrong. your dinos will appear at the entrance of the TEK cave when you return there. as for your items, if you're not on a cluster server they will be lost, however, the workaround to this is just transferring all of your items from your character to your dino right before the cutscene starts.

Where in my other post did I question the point of ascending? Where did I question the value of it? Where did I ask whether you should, or should not do it? Learn how to read man.

learn how to create topics man, this shouldnt have been a second post point made and finished, no need to argue about it, its just a fact. if you keep up this kind of behavior and create different posts for related topics the forums will flood. now instead of arguing about how different the topic is keep it in mind for the next time you are planning on doing something as dumb as this.

Hmm, The Wiki says this: ''Upon Ascending, you will have to select your character and respawn as if you had disconnected while traveling across servers. This also means that items will be kept, but the Element will be lost and ALL the Tek Gear will be discharged. Creature inventories share the same behavior.'' - This sounds like dino's also lose all tek gear brought into the cave. You sure this is not the case?

We have different opinions on this. Let's keep it at that. Also there are over 250.000 post on this forum so I don't think you need to worry about flooding lol.

okay dutchie. whatever you say... and just because there are over 250.000 posts doesnt mean you get to make 20 posts about the same thing. flooding happens when there are too many topics made on a daily basis, which you are doing right here, right now. competent gamers look up their stuff on the internet, entitled little snowflakes like you need us to hold the spoon for you and feed you the information, and even when you ask for information you feel the need to ask them in separate topics. i really do hope for you and your future that you learn to be a bit more independent

Wow.... Listen friend. Maby you can try to stay decent with people. I clicked on you name and on ''show messages'' and it seems you just go from post to post aguing with anyone you can find. You're insulting people and you seem to just not be a very nice person. Take a scroll trough your past messages and ask yourself is arguing with so many people is really worth it.
Anyway, since arguing is not one of my hobby's I say good day and good luck to you sir.

You're reading it wrong. You lose all element but not any Tek gear, just the element itself.
Also afaik element on dinos wont go away.
You shouldn't really be losing anything unless it's something that died. There's no reason not to ascend unless you think you aren't strong enough yet.

The TLDR...

Your dinos teleport out.
You and your tribe teleport out including all your equipment.

The only thing that you lose is ELEMENT and element charge.
You do not lose Tek items... Only the charge those items had as they are powered by element.


I've only recently done the cave a few times in a row. Got everything back afterwards without any issues.

Alright thanks. The Wiki is just not clear sometimes. I'll give it a try.

if thats all you found then you are fast to judge someone and not good at it either. i usually dont initiate the arguments, and when i do its usually because the OP is being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to people. just like with you, i didnt come in here to argue, i simply came in here to tell you not to create a new post within 3 hours about the same topic, you are the one that followed up, not me.

I'ts not all I found no. That's true. I only looked at the first three pages of you most recent messages. Just the more recent ones like:
''okay dutchie. whatever you say.''
''entitled little snowflakes like you need us to hold the spoon for you''
''do a quick google search for a question as simple as this. ''
''imagine being ignorant, solely caring about graphics and not even knowing what you are talking about.''
''this proves that consoles are making people dumber.''
''id say this topic is here to inform people of how uninformed you are ''
''okay dumb dumb ''
''or it could just be you that is too dumb to actually understand it.''
''you should really start using that brain of yours''
''you must be simple minded,''

I don't know man. Maby change your atitude a bit. We are all gamers on this platform to help and to seek help. Let's just try to stay friendly.
