Aurjay Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 This has been bothering me ever since I seen this happen. We have a player on our server, NA-PVE-TheCenter84, that tamed 3 max level Gigas on the 3rd day of the server's existence. Is this even possible for a solo player to do, or did they find some way to cheat? This player admitted to being Chinese and because of that communicating the questions about how he did it and the responses have gone without understanding on either side, them and the multiple English speaking players who asked. If this is believed to be not even possible, I'll go ahead and report it with the video recording of my gameplay from that day. If it is a popular belief that they were not cheating, then I'll accept that. Need some input from the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gafgarion Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Center has insta Giga respawn so all what you need to do is drown low Level Gigas till a High Level Spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay89 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Just need a trike a load of metal and lots of arrows takes around 30 mins to knock out each one using basic crossbow then all you need is a few thousand narcoberrys or few hundred narcos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiloFodder Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 well, I guess with great determination and lots and lots of caffeine... honestly keeping a giga down is not hard, just need a lot of narcoberries (do not use narcotics, it's much easier just to wait for the torpor to get low and use tons of narcoberries as given the amount of time it takes for the torpor to climb for narcoberries and the massive torpor pool that gigas have you could keep a 150 giga down for hours with just 20 stacks of narcoberries) he could also have brought in the necessary equipment and resources from another server using the obelisks, possibly even the gigas themselves.

If you will not take my word for it, perhaps you will take their's: https://ark.gamepedia.com/Narcotic "Especially for creatures with a fast decreasing torpor, narcoberries are the better choice because the 5 berries will increase the torpor for 5 × 3s = 15 seconds as opposed to one narcotic that increases the torpor only for 8 seconds. During the increase of the torpor it will not decrease, giving berries an advantage when taming creatures like Giganotosaurus and Dimetrodon. Narcotics and Narcoberries do not affect the Taming Effectiveness." also, with how easy it is to obtain narcoberries with herbivores such as the trike and not having to watch the downed giga constantly, why is narcoberry taming bad advice? Also one could transfer the kibble and other such supplies cross-ark from an already established ark unless it is disabled for some reason on fresh servers.

A lot of the other responses were talking just in general is it possible, not is it possible on day 3 (real life day, not in-game day) of a new server's existence. But I'm seeing a lot of people saying it's possible, and just getting the impression it's uncommon. So it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is what it is. finding 1 150 giga is allready insane hard, you would have to be really lucky to find one finding 3, in 3 days is just not possible.it's just too much even if you drown every low level you find, which on it's own takes alot of time, you have no guarantee a high lvl spawns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay89 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I saw a 135 a 145 and a 150 all in the same day all along the starter beaches on rag surrounded each by loads of sheep its too easy they are very very common on rag both gigas and sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivige Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I don't remember what day it was. It was on here that it was possible to transfer between legacy and official. That was right after release......true or not I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphere Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 What's so surprising about this? You get ahead, so that way you can get the better deals. But as for it being legit? It's only 150.... go Center and farm Gigas. o _O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownieShytles Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 if he played those 72h straight or with minimal sleeptime it is not impossible, but he´d have to know exactly what he needs and wants to do. you could calculate ~10h for finding and taming each of the gigas, maybe even less if lucky. to get the materials you need you only need a trike or stego to farm enough berries + tranq-arrows. stuff like that is done in less than 5h if you know what to do. i´ve seen enough nolifers on the new servers, so i know what these people are capable of doing in short periods of time. So it is indeed possible to do it that way, BUT that doesn´t exclude the possibility of him cheating or transfering either^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayroad Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 They op should mayby clarify. Did he mean 150 (max level) gigas were tamed leading to (200+ gigas after tame .. likely lvl 209) its a impressive feat of group effort and dedication but certainly can be done at day three. You can tame alot or few trikes and semi high level brontos with just berries easy on day one = narcoberries. other ppl mine metal and build long necks for taking it down etc. Not very hard on the right map.

Mendoza Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 It's not unheard of for a single account to be shared among many people playing the game in shifts... In any regards, I'm not surprised at tamed high lvl gigas on day 3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 i play unofficial with boosted dino spawns and raised difficulty 150 gigs are still very rare took a few weeks to get a pair , to tame 3 in a few days is not impossible but would require some suspiciously good luck!

powerstuck Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Aren't tames higher levels on Center and Rag (compared to the Island) ? That may give more input to if its really doable. There are people who won millions on lottery, two and even three times. Now you will tell me it's impossible because chances are like 1 in 14 millions, but its been done.

Layzie Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It is possible just very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's 100% possible if spawns are the way they were when Center first came out. I'd see at least 6 lvl 140+ gigas commonly around the map. I think spawns may be acting up again like they were. On the island PvP server I just started on, I took a boat from the SW corner, through the main river and up through the little river leading to carno and around the NE corner of the map. I'm not exaggerating when I say I saw 7 alpha rex's, 5 alpha carnos and more alpha raptors than I could count. This NEVER happened on any island server I've ever played on. Spawns are definitely acting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some input from the community once you knock it out, you can shoot its pinky toe qith tranq arrows to keep it down till its tamed. I know thats what we did on prim+ official. But.. .most importantly did you guys killed their gigas already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFox91 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It is very possible if they put the time into the tames. All they had to do was get the low level Gigas killed to force new spawns to hopefully get those high levels. If they had enough people in a tribe to help and the time to meat or prime meat tame the Giga, then yes this is possible and not cheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
