ODeezGaming Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I hear this. I made a post on Reddit /ARK - https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/61st6n/basilosaurus_the_best_water_dinosaur/ about my experiences in the water and then a dino that I found that changed my life. Basilosaurus is a game changer in this regard because I like you was not wanting to go anywhere near the water after I lost my Shark and 2 Dolphins in that nightmarish hell of an ocean. I am trying to see if I can find any other ocean dinos that have a similar mechanic as the first time I found this guy I went and killed every eel I could find as payback! Good Luck out there!

No. The Basil is literally the only dino that isn't subject to randomly being killed by Eels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly engaging, balanced content. Enjoy riding the slowest mount in the sea, you won't die to Eels, unavoidably, randomly, without rhyme or reason, but you might die of old age before you get to the other side of the map.

Royalstar Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 They should implement another antidote, one that removes stun effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got rid of that a while ago because they were good for raiding or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they should add the antidote anyway for players, and as for tames maybe make it so the stun effect only takes effect after your dino takes significant damage (from the eels).

Crows Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Another thing they need to fix about the damned Ocean as well is how your tames can just vanish into thin air. I've lost good turtles and now a fresh tamed 220 Mosa with an 88.9 ascendant saddle which was parked right near my base. Me and some allies went on an ocean search for him but no luck and it isn't dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravitronX Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Honestly there should be a button to toggle all names in the tribe on and off no matter the distance so it's harder to lose things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already in the game (GPS Node trackers) but those tracker nodes are annoyingly unreliable, like... the amount of times I've put a tracker node on something (even by the saddle) and it would get destroyed without my knowledge. Speaking of eels though, my friend just lost his lvl 200+ Mosa because of eels too... This is really grinding my gears now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrist14 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Idk if they did a hot fix or if I've just been getting lucky, but the last 2-3 times I've been in the ocean in the last couple days I've seen a total of 4 eels on a lap around the island and none in the west sea cave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL aquatic life ignores Rock Elementals should you choose one to traverse the sea bottom. Beware of fall damage underwater! Even if something aggros on you while you dismount it and you managed to mount your Golem again - you are safe: it does get stunned by eels but you dont dismount and attackers quickly lose interest in you and de-aggro. It also sometimes able to attack while stunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
