I sat for over 7 hours today and killed dinos trying to get the higher level spawns and nothing. I think it's kind of bugged, what ever difficulty you start a game at is what it gets stuck on. I tried multiple ways to fix this over the past 3 days. Ended up just having to delete my game save and starting a new one and right of the bat ran into a level 110 dilo. Ya thats just the thing that confuses me as i actually talked to you in ur thread but i noticed the lower lvls myself while having always played on 10 prepatch and 1 sense the patch...iv noticed i do find high lvls still just not as many and maybe thats because i was on 10 pre and the game read 1 after patch and the game thought 1 was not max or something..

Wildcard refer to "Difficulty Value" which is 4.0 for 120s Your server settings refer to "Difficulty Offset" which is 1.0 for 120's They are both the same setting - http://ark.gamepedia.com/Difficulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoupInMyBeard Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah I think all the changes are confusing it lol. Ya know, it's pre release and it's still an amazing game. Not to much to complain about on my part, but over time everything will get better. Hopefully I won't have to reset my character again tho lol. Yeah anyone looking at the same problem should either run around killing dinos for awhile or delete their save and start over either way should work.

SoupInMyBeard Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Trust me I was getting frustrated, but I spent 7+ hours searching and killing and waiting and not above a 34 spawned in. And it was the only one about 25 I could find. I tried reloading the game, tried restarting the Xbox, trying turning my settings back to default and then setting them back proper. Nothing was working. Then I deleted me save, started over and I run into tons of decent to high level dinos. Yes there are plenty of low levels. But you in the old game not a single one was over 34 and now I see quite a few well over 34 in the first hour of this new game. But like I said everyone may not have to start over like I did.

SallyAnn Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Highest wild dino level now for X-Box is 120, same as PC. Keep an eye on the patch notes and good luck with the tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homedog45 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 So far i have upped our server difficulty to .8 and we have been cleansing carno island a few hundred times but we have only found a level 92 rex that turned into a 125 so far. Is there a better way to do this? i believe the highest level that can be found in the wild is 170? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyAnn Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 0.8 is not upped, it's decreased isn't it? On Normal servers now since the last patch it's 1.0 meaning max 120 wild dinos. http://ark.gamepedia.com/Difficulty 0.8 shows the max wild level would be 105. You have the correct method though of cleaning an area out and waiting. My spot for rexs was running round and round the central island since they spawn on both sides of the shore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homedog45 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 default settings on hosting a server starts at .3. i was not aware normal servers are just set to 1.0 i will have to correct that. i know that breeding is another way to get super dinos but that takes days doesn't it? even though the taming speed it 6x i believe eggs are stuck at the normal time frame?

SallyAnn Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yes, taming speed and egg maturation speeds are different settings so it will still take long, long time breeding. http://ark.crumplecorn.com/breeding/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? The easiest way i have found on SP to get higher level dinos is...... 1. Start the game on 1.0 difficulty (From the beginning) , if this is not a option. goto #2 2. Kill , Kiil, and more killing............you need to wipe as many dinos as possible (Check the rivers, after a few days i find 1000s of fish in the streams) 3. Upload your character and dinos... do a SP wipe and start the world fresh on 1.0 difficulty Keep in mind, even on difficulty 1.0, that higher levels are rare. the basic breakdown is something like this... 100% of dinos = 70% levels 1-50 + 15% levels 51-75 + 10% level 76-110 + 5% levels 111-120. (these are just for show i do not have the exact numbers) and these numbers are further divided by type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrype Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've been playing non-dedicated server trying to tame high level dinos and it takes hours to even find something over level 50.. all i see is a 1-20 mostly is it really that rare? i get something like 120 is rare and i already understand that but it shouldn't take me all day to even find somthing thats around 80-90 it's ridiculous..

FUNPay Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Try putting your difficulty on 1.0 and look around the mountains that's where I got my 120 T-rex and Argentavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodster1986 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Im very sure at this point its bugged if you where playing 10 before because 1 is nothing like 10...i know not to expect lvl 120s left and right but i should not be seeing 90% of the dino spawns in the north be below 20..i live next to north hard spawn 2.. iv even seen lvl 1s and from my understanding the lowest spawn i should see is either 4, 8 or 12 and im leaning more tward 12...even the alpha i just killed was lvl 12....my brid who is an all around bird meaning its got almost 800 carry weight and 135 speed and not just hp and melee handled this easyer then any alpha i seen pre dino rebalance...plus side is i know my attack bird who has no speed and only hp stam and dmg will handle these with ease... Iv also decided to try reset as much as i hate too but there is not much challenge when im on 200+ and most spawns are around 20... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodster1986 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Well if anyone else was having an issue playing 10 befor it changed to 1... resetting single player worked for me also(very nice range of dinos lvls now) so that 2 people so far having same issue fixed in the same way..hopefully helps someone...back to base building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melkor Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Low level dinos have to die in order for higher levels to possibly spawn. Still rare to see 100+. If your just scouting the island, and not killing, especially if its a local game, you are just seeing the same dinos again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pterrificus Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 At 0.8 difficulty, level 99 is maximum wild dino level I believe. That's where we started many months ago, before throwing caution to the wind and upping it to 1.0 You can change your incubating/maturation rate the same way you change the taming rate. However, you'll want two high end dinos to start your breeding program. Breeding two weak dinos produces a weak baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatansPegasus Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just like Rizen said the snow biome particularly the beach where that big rock outcropping is an rexes spawn constantly fighting sabers, anklyos an argents and the occasional raptor an megladon it's pretty much my prime meat farm and around the volcano. I'm having trouble locating gigantos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
