Titanomyrma, destroyed ARK

[Mattoxar]

I loved ARK and i still love it! But the ants ruined the whole game! They kill you almost instantly, and the take ypur stamina so you cant run away from them! They should either be removed or they shold not do that much damage! I personally think they shold be removed from the game! The reason for this is, I dont understand how these giant ants have anything with dinosaurs to do!

Both dragon flies and giant ants are weak you could hit them with pick axe and kill them have dilo attack them or just run from them heal turn around and punch them though it's not advisable that you punch them as their strength isn't in their damage it's in their numbers.

Not damage they do it's how many of them there are even though they really weak.

I have never once been killed by these ants, I have fought them on foot many times, they die nearly instantly with a couple of swings of a weapon (even a stone hatchet I tested), get better at the game.

They make the game more difficult for sure, but they're not a bad addition to the game. Also, they're a great source of Chitin! So that's awesome. :)

[Mattoxar]

Yeah! I know but i hit them like 10 times even with hatchets! Maybe its just the server settings on the server i play on!

make 2-3 spears low level to deal with them quickly and without taking damage. Late game carry a pike to 1 shot them all.

I see these complaints all the time on the servers, I'll just continue to post the same solution, maybe people just miss everyone else' posts lol.

the problem is that some mounts cant hit them and you have to hityour mounts to kill the ants...

[Steel Jacket]

Another good solution to the ants is a dimorphodon. 1 dimorphodon can handle ant spawns without breaking a sweat. GL with your problem, hopefully you'll find one of my suggestions useful.

Another good reason to bring a dimo with you everywhere you go. My Dimos make a living off killing ants and dragonflies. (always well fed without me needing to feed them) I've also never lost a dimorphodon to ants or dragonflies, even when I only had the 1.

It's a survival game, survive or not.

[Deadman]

Kill you instantly? lol I haven't died to these once, even before they nerfed them. They're just a petty annoyance. One stab and they die.

[Fluffy Owlkins]

mammoth + wood harvesting = thousands of dead ants <-- without exaduration

[Maltheus]

Agreed, they're almost as bad as dodos. Vicious creatures.

[Tobalaz]

They're annoying at times, and can be deadly if you're caught in a mess of them. A rex once went down via swarm on the server I play on, but that was probably a one in a million fluke.
Best way around that is just keep a meat eater with you if you're not at camp, sabers are pretty adept at mauling them plus they pick up the chitin. Good way to snag a little extra chitin, so I can't complain too much.
