PVE-Official-Valguero

This morning I went online to play on Valguero with my tribemate, as he had already been there, but before going I fed all the dinos on the island, and took one of my giga with me and headed on over.   Once I got their he told me he had been working on the new dino pin, attempting to get the walls done on it, and had built it up 5 walls high, then a server crash took place, and all the work he had done was gone.  

I stayed on there for a good 6 hours, and during that time, the server went down 13 times, yep that's right, 13 times.  Wasn't just me lagging out, everyone was getting booted from it.  after the 9th time I started submitting outage tickets via the Ark server outage, as the frequent server crashes and rollbacks were getting really really annoying.  the last hour I was playing it was pretty stable, up until I was thinking about logging out, then, another server crash... I waited for it to come back up and found I only lost 5 minutes work, I headed back putting the missing pieces back into place and then put away all my gear, waited for a server save and headed out for the day.

This is the worst that server has ever been, even when we had 50 people on it one time there was only 1 crash that day.  I did fly around a little on my wyvern looking for new bases that may of popped up around mine and there were a couple, crammed with dino's none the less. well there's some of the lag for sure.  But the one that caught my eye and made me wonder 'why on earth'  was a upside down pyramid suspended up in the air by a 1x1 block tower, I'd hate to see something attack that 1x1 tower, the whole structure would come tumbling down...  It was packed with lights on the inside, only reason I knew this was they were the first thing to pop in as I approached it.

Well... I survived a unprecedented number of crashes and managed to get a little bit of work done around the base as well as feed all the dinos, so I guess that's good.   took a few screenshots of the base now being referred to as 'the prison' by other players, I donno… does it really look like a prison?

that's it for today, soon the towers will have defenses in them, and there is still work to be done around the entry gates as well, but all in all its slowly coming together :)

it doubled a screenshot for some reason, removed extra.

@caleb68 Love the screenshots of your base, awesome builds. I think it would look a lot less prison/schoolhouse-like if you added some paint, I see a little bit on one roof but you'd be amazed how much depth and character it can add to the whole build. Also switching up the materials, like using wood ceilings and railings instead of stone, would add some warmth and break up the monotony of the stone.

Thursday I didn't play at all, needed a break.

Friday through Sunday was the usual shenanigans. Swamp cave runs, hatching lots of eggs, chasing red drops around the northern half of the map. Still nothing. I am honestly starting to get bored playing. I really want to progress and start getting these boss fights done, but without a saddle bp I'm totally stuck. It's frustrating and slowed gameplay down to a crawl after I devoted so much of my time to getting set up for it. I'm even on my second round of rex leveling, about halfway done pushing every boss rex to 600 melee damage.

I got tired of it and spent a significant amount of time on my spino doing laps around the map for anything interesting. Finally got a decent weight theri, took it up to the volcano path and came home with almost more rare flowers than my bird could carry. Got another allo too. Still need a good female before I can start breeding them. Just knocking off smaller goals and projects here and there to break up the routine.

Got another round of muts on the rexes, we're now officially at 5 each, putting each stat 10 levels above my tamed base. Not that impressive, but fun for me to compare to my clean rexes and compare the raw values. It's an increase of something like 50 melee and over 2k hp over the original base. Plus I got this as my new breeding male for melee:

20191006111758_1.thumb.jpg.1a39874125952514fb2d96f92f131625.jpg

From moldy pea soup to proto-Alpha, I like it.

Still, I feel like I'm running out of things to do. I have tons of projects I want to do, but I've been holding back on most of them because I want to progress through the maps first, get that all sorted out, then pick a map to settle my true main base on and go from there. It will most likely be here on The Island simply because to me this map is 'home' but I don't deny the possibility that I'd like another map better and would end up there instead. I've played on almost all of them, but none as extensively as here.

I'm almost considering, once I make it to Extinction and do as much as I can there, to pod up whatever animals I want and wipe all previous map bases, almost like I was gone for so long my bases decayed like the ruins you see scattered around, and then start fresh on the maps with my hopefully fully ascended character.

But none of this will come to pass if I can't get that stupid saddle bp. Relying on RNG sucks and is imo poor gameplay design. That was why I used to use the upgrade station mod, I'd rather invest a ton of resources into a guaranteed result than continue wasting my time for dozens of trash bps and gear that gets pitched straight into the grinder.

So one of our long time ARK friends got insided a few months back, lost over 100 imprinted high level dinos on Extinction and then cut his network cable refurbishing his house. Hes finally back after a month out and welcomed the opportunity to join my tribemate and I on Center60. This is great news as across the four main maps (Center, Ext, Abb and Valg) we now have more people to help keep things fed and fuelled. 

This has given me a bit more energy to play so I hatched 43 Ptera eggs and no muts... however, we did create another 10 cryofridges so new tribemate could bring all his dinos and anything decent he had left over from Ext. 

We have decided to start rebuilding our Cliff base (its been around for quite a while now but it could be more accessible so weve decided upon a big project to rebuild it with a newer look... Ill keep you posted.

Other than that, I wont be looking for many new stats for anything as everything we have allows us to do everything, so its more of a case of tidying the base up, sorting through the many dinos/bp etc and having a more sleek experience.

Came ingame, sold some argies, guy understood prices for each was 3k, so he brought 6k...didnt correct him....

Sold ssome boss rexes to a friend...yeah, sold, cuz the DireWolf lost the other 15 and still hasnt payed for them

Got bored waiting for imprint...so went to Extinction with a Giga

Found on OSD, had no idea what color it was, started it...saw some nice wyvern coming at me, corrupted dinos kept getting stuck in hills so it took a looooong time to finish, started searching for my argy that ran after so i could fill it up with goodies(crappy goodies, but goodies, some tek armor BP i will prolly never use cuz they cost a stuffload of ele)

Went back to island, 3 minutes to imprint yeyee

Found out i did a RED OSD from people who do them frequently....this being my first one

Suicided a few times....now waiting for work hours to finish so i can go home :D

PS4 - Unofficial cluster

 

Kind of hit a lull late last week. Found myself kind of forcing myself to log on, so I took a break mostly from ARK for the weekend.  In fact the only time I played was Saturday morning from 3:30 - 5:30 am due to inability to sleep, and then again on Sunday afternoon for about 2 hours.

I managed to get 3-4 more colored Reapers, but nothing real exciting.

I need to get on tonight and refresh my bases on the other two maps. I think the Plant Species X turrets decay after 3 -4 days.

I think I will demolish my starter base on Valguerro, and just keep the base near the abberation biome.  I had planned on building a big base where my starter base is, and then demolishing my underground base, but I just can't seem to get the energy up to move everything from 1 base to the other.

But I need to do it, and probably cryo all of my dinos too on the two maps that I hardly play.  Ever since the Manticore bug on Rag, I just have no desire to go back to that map.

Was working on my first actual base ( Just started playing a few days ago) and was flying around collecting green drops. Thought that the coast was clear on the last one I went to get, got jumped by a tek raptor, died and then had to log out due to having to go to work..so now I have to hope that my dino is flying around being safe and I will be able to talk someone into taking me to my last death area when I log back in to get my only dino...

Offfical Valguero PvE, all by myself

I finally tamed an Argy, which will greatly advance my mobility and dino power capabilities.  I used the "four stone dino gate" type of trap.  I had read about them and they seemed much more straighforward than some of the more intricate but cheaper designs.  It worked exactly as advertised, but I had to walk slowly and let the Argy hit me from time to time to make sure that it followed me into the trap.  There were lots of Trikes and Stegos in the area and they seemd to be helping the Argy to prevent me from closing the gate intil the Argy could turn around and fly out.  It took me three tries, but I finally got him insode, me outside, and the gates closed.  I had run out of tranq darts by that point, so I fell back to my tranq arrows from an ordinary crossbow.  He kept turning away from me whnever I hit him in the head, so I had to run back and forth to opposite sides and all of the Trikes and Stego go tin the way.  I was almost out of tranq arrows when he finally succumbed.  I checked him and he was level 140!  No wonder it took so much effort to put him down.  I did a check on the Dododex and saw that it normally would take 6 hours using raw meat.  I had been preparing for this for a while, but I expected to snag a level 50 tops.  Fortunately, it was a double-weekend and it would only take 3 hours.  I would probably not get a chance like this again for a while, so I set in for the long tame (but not so long as not duinrg a double weekend).  I had my Stegos sweep the area every time that the berries respawned to get enough Narcoberries and killed lots of pigs for meat.

While I waited, I built on my new home - I am calling it a castle since that seems to be the direction that i am taking it.  My goal is something like Mad Ludwig's castle (think Disney if you do not know about Ludwig), but I am sure that it will look like it was rendered in Minecraft since I tend to build blocky and square.  I will post a picture when I get the turrets finished.

Back to taming - the hard part is not the subduing or the feeding and tranqing.  The hard part is keeping the unconscious dino safe from all manner of predators that climb out of the Abberant Trench.  I had read a suggestion to use spiky walls to keep taming dinos safe, so I placed wooden spikes all around the trap except for the gate that was farthest from the Argy.  While I was working on the castle, I heard the battle music and crunching from the direction of the trap.  There was a Carno reaching over the spike wall, through the closed gate, crunching on my unconscious Argy.  I had on full plate that was fully repaired (I always try to keep my weapons sharpened), so I jumped off the battlement with my sword yellling "Cowabunga, Dude!" and rushed the Carno.  The poor thing hardly had a chance to turn around from the Argy before I clove him in twain.  I built a econd tier of sharpened spikes in a ring outside the first ring and stayed a little more alert after that.  I killed another Carno and two Raptors befofre the Argy was tamed.  All of the Stegos and Trikes that were blocking me earlier helped kill a few more Raptors that wandered into the area.  I think I will leave them in the fields around the castle as they seem to make good guards - sort of like gators in a moat.

The Argy tamed out at 180, so it will be immune to regular Rex roars (critters lower level than a particular Rex will suffer the effects of "Rex-roar").  Now I just need to accumulate enough keratin to build the saddle...

PVE-Official-ScorchedEarth

Logged on to my Scorched earth server today and found that my allies base that surrounded mine with walls was gone, and someone decided to start pillaring around my base stopping me from being able to even put spikes around my base.   I quickly pillared up the side that didnt have any pillars surrounding it, then hopped on support and reported the base blocking.  They found that it was indeed blocking me and removed the pillars, afterwards I pillared out from mine and threw up a barrier wall of spikes around the base till i can get enough gates to put around it, least that will keep the boas, scorpions, wolves, sabers and karpa away from the base till then.

PVE-Official-TheIsland

I had been building a dino pen next to my base on Valguero, and ran out of close by materials to farm, so I decided to hop on the island and craft walls and ceilings before 2x ended.  I managed to gather enough stone to craft 800 walls, and 400 ceilings, which i though would be enough to finish it off.  Afterwards I traded for a couple low level mana to take  with me over to Valguero, nothing special just a level 40 and 70, just primarly wanted them for fast travel to different parts of the map, and they will serve the purpose.  Hung around for awhile as one of my tribemates was able to log in for a hour, we chatted for awhile while the dieno babies sat out.  Afterwards I headed off to Valguero after uploading the walls and ceilings.

PVE-Official-Valguero

Logged in and the first thing i see when i go outside, a Alpha rex chomping away at a bronto, I quickly went back up to my room and pulled out my giga, heading out to kill off the alpha, It was only a lvl 60 so the giga didn't have any problems taking it down.  Man them things move fast.  Once that was done, I downloaded the walls and ceilings and set out to finish the pen, I had enough walls to finish building it up to the top of the behemoth gates with 2 walls left over, and proceeded to put the ceilings on to cover the roof, After laying them all I found i was 198 ceilings short >.<  well more crafting on the island I guess, got alot more made there in a shorter period of time then valguero.    One of  the friendly tribes was trying to mine metal with their anky and we noticed a problem there on valguero, they weren't getting any more metal from the nodes then I was with mine, what was the problem?  my anky was 332 melee, theirs was 1.2k melee.  To top it off, it seems that were getting 1/2 the normal metal we get on 1x at the island.  I fed all the dino's afterwards and headed out for the day.

Future Plans

tomorrow its making gates to finish protecting my little scorched earth base from land critters, I'm going to have to put up some air defenses now as well, as my allies base is gone there is no more air defense as well, thinking bring over some speices X and setup some water lines so there is something there at least.  I figure after im done with Scorched earth, i'll head back to the island and make the last of the ceilings I need to close off the pen, then we can figure out how were going to setup the inside for the dinos.

i have recently gotten internet on my ps4 and PSN. so i am now playing online.  i have no friends that play PS4. i also have not found a decent server to play on. i chose a random server when i typed up

auto unlocked easy tek

picked the server with the least days, i ended up on a pretty good server that is a week old. spawned near jungle 2 (i am on rag btw) and went to blue ob for the crates. i straight up have metal tools aside from pick. i harvest the metal and make a forge. i craft a smithy and make flak Armour and pick. i run up to where the crystal is and make a spy glass. i find a small obsidian rock and harvest it. 300 ob from one rock. i run to a red drop and find an asc set of metal gear consisting of: pick, hatchet, pike, sickle, sword, 2 crossbows, flak armour and a glide suit. i equip the stuff and run back down to base. i see a beach bob runnin up to my base. he starts hitting it, i am also on pvpve server. anyway i run up and ask him what he is doin, he said he is looting this small setup. i ask why, he said cause the guys had a bunch of metal and gear. i say do u know who it is. he said no but it dont matter. i say take a wild guess. he looks at my name and then the structures. he runs off into the trees. i think to myself what an idiot. i continue on by making guns, made a fab and made a pump shoty. i make 100 tranq arrows and 50 narcs. now it is time to find a tame. the max lvl is 300 from what i could tell. i find a 210 trike. make a trap and knock it out, berry it up and saddle. made 1000+ narcs and turned them into 300+ tranq darts. i made an argent trap. a 300 flew down onto the beach. led it into the trap and knocked it out. i tamed up a incthyornis and sicked it on some dodos. gave the bird 30 prime meat and tamed it up. i saddled it and went on to make a cryopod to put my trike in to move bases. made the cryo stored trike. the structure pickup time on structures is like 30 days so i can move my base. i store everyhting into my bird and set off. i dont entirely know where i want to make my base. i plan to make my base on the mountains near the castle. it poses a great challenge to raid in pvp du to the narrow path ways and limited route up to it. i found an area that point out and is like a circular shape. i will make a circle base there. made a small base and crafted saddles for utility dinos. while looking for a beaver i found a white beacon. looked in and found 100 of each kibble and cakes. i am so set. while knocking out a beave i find a 290 theri, i leave it till i find a better rifle. i tamed up a 270 beaver, 280 doedic and a 250 deer. while passive collecting resources by carrying the beaver on my bird i spot a red beacon. quickly race over and open it up to find asc guns. a pump, longneck, sniper, assult, pistol and harpoon gun. so now i had a better rifle i went for the theri. knocked it out and used the kibble. i know have all the tames i need for a base. next up is to get tames i will use for pvp. i dont plan to play on this server long term cause their seems to be alot of salty people on the server. if anyone is lookin for a overall great player on ps4 i am happy to play. i also made a small ally. he lives in the castle and the plains near the castle.

Nice to hear someone had an issue resolved promptly, makes a change from the usual 'submitted a ticket, waited ages and still no response' posts.

Part of it was luck, as all my allies water pipes were still connecting from where their vaults were over into my base and the pipes over by the water source, so it clearly showed that I had been there for awhile.  Always make sure to submit screenshots and/or video proof with the ticket as well, text based tickets seem to take longer to get actions done.  It probably would of been a lot harder to prove that I had been there first if it wasn't for my allies pipes still being there and them still being a ally in my tribe even though their base had decayed away.

Had a bad day in ark, we have been using ally Val server to get milk for our wyverns. I was inside the base when the server crashed. after 10 min finally got back in and i was apparently killed(even though I was INSIDE the base)  my body no where to be found and i was suddenly also kicked out of the tribe. After relog my tribe status/issue was resolved, but my gear and shot gun was lost... 

Still grieving for my shot gun... 

Anyways we went back home  to our main base on ext then started raise some babies as I traded for a black and red Tape.. love it!

PvE-Official-TheIsland

Spent most the time there crafting dino gates, and some behemoth gates for Scorched Earth. fed dinos and headed to Scorched Earth.

PvE-Official-ScorchedEarth

set a dino leash to its largest size, then went around the circle placing the dino gates, and placing a few behemoth gates in the ring, so i I have nice circle around the base there now, I need to take some more spikes over though, going to line the outside of the wall where the smaller dinogates are with the spikes, and perhaps if possible to get them to stack (like you can with the dino gates) get spikes across the tops of them as well.

placing the gates was time consuming but well worth it. just a little more to do to that, get a new waterline ran (we had water from our ally) and then work on redesigning the base itself, have to finish my valguero build as well as the island build. So much work, but keeps me busy and keeps me interested in the game :)

so got back from school yesterday and decide to play on the server for a bit. i log into the server and straight up see huge gates around my base. completly blocking me. i cant get in or out without fliers. i ask in chat what goin on and someone says they now own me, my base, my tribe and the mountain i am living on. i ask DILO r u talking about. the player says he claimed the entire mountain by building all over it. so i say i was hear first and to buzz off before u sign your death warrant. he said he was not scarred of me. now usually i would have riley and my other friends to aid me in a raid on a server. this time it was just me so i had to think big. i evaluated my situation and first worked on making a way out. i slowly broke his gates with my theri's headbutt. i then made a hasty run with my argent and my tames. i made it to the castle and made a camp near the bridge. an ally i made lives in the castle. he has rebuilt it and fixed the bridge. i messaged him asking him for help. in an hour he was online. i filled him in on my situation. he said he has some friends who he could ask to join the server. i said go ahead. the problem is i am the only one with pvp experience, everyone else has played pve. so hopefully this afternoon when i get back from school we will be ready to raid this terd.

PS4 - Unofficial Cluster - Aberration

 

Last night was a short, but weird night.

Logged into Abberration, and headed out to find a Reaper Queen, killed the first two I found as they were very low level, then found a decent level, and kited it back to trap. Got pregnant and had a normal colored baby. I saved the baby, as I have a friend who wants some reapers for battles. I filled the baby with food, and headed back out for another reaper.

Got pregnant again, and as I returned to base to give birth, I noticed that the first baby was no longer in the base building. but I could hear it walking around. I looked all over, and then I noticed that I could see the dust clouds like a Reaper underground, yet, I could still hear the reaper footsteps.

I tried whistling, but nothing would happen, and even with my Tek helmet, I could not see the Reaper, even though the dust cloud was directly in front of me.

I then gave birth to another normal colored baby, and head back out for another Queen to trap. After getting impregnated again, I was trying to get around the base while waiting to give birth, but my character was stuck in that can't walk correctly bug, so I logged off and then logged back in.

I could now walk correctly, and at this point I noticed the "missing" reaper baby was now visible and wandering amongst other parked reapers. I managed to get it under control and then I went to give birth to sadly another normal colored reaper. But once again my character was stuck in the weird walk bug, and I was even unable to fast travel between beds, so I just logged off and called it a night.

PVE-Official-TheIsland

Spent most my day gathering resources and raising babies.  One of my friends bases got griefed by a chinese player, they tossed a bunch of unconscious bronto's all around his base blocking all the doorways, even on the roof.  Helped him get a support ticket sent in to resolve the issue, come to find out that same tribe that griefed him was trying to sell dinos on the server for real money, defiantly a no no. so hopefully the support staff will get it resolved quickly.

After helping my friend with the info he needed and what to do to get a ticket submitted, i headed back to base and continued gathering resources and raising the babies.  Got enough together to make the last of the ceilings that I need over at valguero to finish off the pen, and some extra to start working on a connecting pathway between the two buildings for safe foot travel.

While raising the babies one of my other friends popped in, I asked them if they got a giga egg sense they had been looking for one, nope not yet, so i bred my two gigas and told them to come get the egg sense they had helped me out before.  "for free?" "yep".  They asked me to turn on my teleporter so I did and they popped right over, As i was in my inventory to toss out the egg I noticed they dropped a bag in front of me,  They grabbed the egg, said thanks, and quickly teleported away.  I looked in the bag, and there were several cryopods with babies, so I picked them up and headed into my baby pen and tossed the little guys out:
EEE37E5DA93D14EE1A3631662CB7AFB2F5631391

twin Megalania, Black with red stripes :D I love black n' red dinos, that made my day.  I decided to hatch one of my dieno eggs today as well that I had gotten during the last event,  I was pleasantly surprised with what came out:

635F520CBF2228BCA4355911974AAC4EC00BBF72

hopefully some of the other Dieno eggs i grabbed up during the event give me some more beauties like this one :) If we get a halloween event I am soooo raiding dieno nests and wyvern nests lol.

got the dieno up to 10.1% maturity, the two little lizards up to 5%, and my rexs up to 58-62% (had 5 rexs out all day, you can see some of the feet in the screenshots lol). put all the babies away after waiting for two of them to finish off with their want timer, and crafted a tek geny to take over to valguero to start working on the baby raising area over there.  Another tribe showed me a nifty trick for it and im gonna incorporate that in the center of the new pen i've been working on.

Future Plans:

Get the ceilings crafted tomorrow, and the extra walls/foundations to take over to valguero, finish the roof of the dino pen, get the tek geny placed, and the pieces setup around it for the troughs.

I've seen both good and bad,  the biggest issue we have on our main server is the ones that come in to park a ton of dino's on the server, we've hit dino cap a few times just because of that, but other then those ones, i've seen a pretty even ballance between good and bad chinese players.  The hard part is reporting them, as most of their names show up as [][][][] in game and finding the right one in the player list can be pretty hard to supply a link to their steam profile.  knowing where their base is helps though because at least that way you can give a position of the offending tribe even though you cant read their name.

my friends  who play on official have ways to anti-greif people on pve servers. and also ways to prevent dino caps. if they find dinos that have been left out in about, they lead creatures over and make them kill the tame. if u wish i can ask them to give me a list of anti-greifing tips

I don't need them, but others might.  Support seems to be working pretty good for me to get the griefers taken care of, so it takes a few minutes of my time, but its easier that way and I don't have to worry that my actions may end up getting me in trouble.

the tricks dont break the rules. i have seen some of them myself. they just smart ways of anti-greiving.
