anholeti Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 It is absurd to take more than 18 hours to breed a dino born in captivity. It took me over 18 hours and when I went to sleep he was still juvenile. When I woke up he was dead. So we can not sleep anymore to mature a dino ?! Normal people need sleep and work.

Inigo Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 huh? Ge it to juvenile, make sure you have enough feeding troughs with food to last the night. Meat/berries/cooked meat, etc. Its not hard bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracul Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Pfft 18 hours, takes 18 YEARS for a baby human to reach maturity (at least physically, mentally could take decades more <.<). Jokes aside, once they are juvi and you have a full trough for them to eat from shouldnt be a issue unless your gone for like a day and the food rots. That being said, they definately need to change the food intake rate back to what it was on vday as a permanent change, and tweak imprinting so people dont have to set their alarm to wake up at 3am or some crap.

megagoo Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 yep i just quit ark because of this very reason. had a baby allo, raised it to juvenile. signed off at about 2 am est with a full feeding trough. come on next at 12 pm est, animal died....like really? loved the game but thats ridiculous and doesnt deserve my time if its going to go down like this. game developers need to realize that these pc games need to be adjusted for us console users. what a waste of life i put into this game. thanks wc.

clumsynynja Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Once it hits juvenile, it's fine. Sounds like you just fooped up and didn't leave it food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatDarko Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Just now, clumsynynja said: Clearly, you did not. It happens with a full trough, sometimes on official console servers the game lags for 15-20mins when the game syncs back your dino appears dead.

Tanchyon Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I think the problem is with you not researching raising dino babies before you went and wasted all that time. Babies are considerably easier to raise than that, you are just making it difficult for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmE Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I still think they need to rethink the Imprinting System. The fact that they expect people to live on 3-4 hours of sleep at a time is bad enough, but couple that with RNG timers rolling, inevitably, in such a way that raising multiple dinos means that you basically can't sleep if you expect to make good use of the Imprinting system is a bit silly.

LadyofHats Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 the problem has many aspects.. for one the long times are suposed to be there so you need to have a tribe and work together to achieve it. and to slow down the "production" like of dinos on the other hand there are conection and lag issues , while you are playing but also.. there are far too many bugs right now dealing with babies..some dinos (like wyverns and troodons) will stop eating if they go out of rendering ( whichmeans you need to be there the whole time from baby to adulthood) there are also reports of dinos even adult ones dying of hunger with food inside them. os simply dying without any aparent reason i do agree that a game expecing you to be 18 hours in a row playing in order to obtain something is ridiculous. but the argument was the same when the game wanted 8 hours tames. and it took more than a year for them to change it. i would step out of breeding for the time being Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipergo Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 A stack of raw meat in feeding trough spoils in 13 hours and 20 minutes. If you want to be offline more than that fill another one with cooked meat. A stack of cooked meat in feeding trough spoils in 40 hours. A carnivore juvenile can be fed autonomously almost for two real days with cooked meat and much longer with cooked fish. You don't have to play every day to breed successfully.

iHEARTyou Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They definitely need to shorten the timer on raising and imprinting. 2 weeks to raise a giga with 3 hours of break inbetween each imprint. You'll have to no life it to get a 100% imprint. Takes 5 minutes and 50 flame arrows to kill the giga regardless of saddle value. How does this even make sense? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jna1991 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I have not read all the way down the list here. Although I have to agree such things as a gigga are just crazy to raise. There is no way you can hold a job and play ark in the case of hard to raise dinos. I have to wait for the weekend to raise t-rexs and big dinos. Forget qs and giggas. I think it is reasonable to make larger dinos hard to breed or all the servers would just be swamped with everything. Although at the same time they should make it easier for players that choose to have a life outside of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically it's tough to raise a giga solo if you have a job unless you put it in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize a full trough of raw meat doesnt even last that long with 1 allo eating it right? So you did it yourself, its not the game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bchoate31 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I agree with the tribe aspect of the game. But they should allow anyone in tribe to imprint, not making it so painstaking for a single person raising their own Dino. Maybe have a tribe imprint vs personal imprint, or both.

DaGoodNamesWereTaken Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yall realize you can have more then 1 trough right. Would hit have killed you to fill up 4 troughs? I generally spend the week getting ready for raises instead of grinding meat when its a baby or right before. Makes life easier to fill 4 troughs of meat you collected during the week instead of filling and cooking meat for the 4 troughs that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumarola Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Imprinting definetly should be shortened but rewards for ir are Also pretty good. For me seems easy if you just puta cooked meat on inventory with some salt... Five or more hours Alive...Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was punished because I created this topic. LolBut Conan Exile is coming ... Amen to that. It's silly. This is a general discussion topic about ark. To be more on topic I'm going to assume you are on Xbox? Currently(don't know on PC) there is a bug where dinos(tamed/knocked out/babies) won't eat properly. I was taming a 15 dodo and his food got down to 300ish / 1000ish before he ate a single berry. .Sometimes my ptera won't eat unless I force feed her. For babies specifically, after one of my babies died I was looking at the other one. It looks like they glitch out. It seems like they will regen to full HP(even though they aren't supposed too while growing) before they start to eat again normally. Like it got to full HP immediately went back down and started eating. Breeding dinos can be VERY profitable if you get a nice roll on the dice. So it's understandable for them to take some time. Play on non dedicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
