baomorph Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 So I have seen people doing boss runs from inside their base. I have looked on the wiki to see how it is done. I am assuming it is either from the tek transmitter or the tek teleporter, However the wiki does not confirm either. Can someone please help me on this?

Volunteer Moderator invincibleqc Posted December 4, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2017 You cannot summon the bosses from the vanilla Tek Transmitter. Only the S+ version allow you to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destro Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 That's a bummer. That's a huge reason I was looking forward to getting a Tek Transmitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevensb21 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I hope that gets added when they put S+ into the game, its kind of annoying having to move all your boss dinos to and from the obi everytime u want to fight a boss because every1 else has all their rexes around the obi taking up all the room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh4rk Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Its just the S+ mod that allows boss summons from the S+ transmitter. 22 hours ago, Destro said: That's a bummer.

Midnight_ Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 It blows my mind why the tek transmitter cannot do this. Must be a PvP balance thing where they want to force you out in the open to force fighting or something. I play PvE and in PvE having transmitters be able to summon boss fights would be a balancing thing and would help to de-clutter the obelisks which are currently crowed with 3-8 tribes, 20-60/each tribe, boss fighting dinos.

Yes its partially for PVP balance, just like why PVP players scratch their heads as to why all these stupid dinos keep moving their annoying heads towards them because some PVE player wanted that feature. I'll happily trade you a PVE Tek Transmitter that lets you do boss fights if us PVP players can have tamed dinos that stand like statues when not in use.

You can already disable that behavior in the menu "Ally Looking": Let me know when you will deliver my new Transmitter, I will make sure to be home. Thanks in advance!

bigfishrob Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 most likely ppl doing bosses from within thier base are using air drops that land in their walls or something. used to see it on carno island bc you could force a drop to land in one of a few places and just have ur artifacts and dinos rdy and in place.

uvex10 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 You can transfer all youre dinos in this and take them out at the ob. Its handy saves moving a full load of dinos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with this. We also clutter one obelisk just for monthly boss kill to power tek generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they let you place it in a pve base and suck all of another tribes dinos into a boss fight. Gg pve pvp is genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So instead of disabling the placement of the transmitter near another tribe's structures they disabled the ability to open boss portals with it... I'm starting to think they have Homer Simpson making the decisions at Wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fun strat while it lasted though. Hopefully they find a better way of implementing it in the future, it was a really nice way to circumvent the obelisk griefers.

That does seem like a Homer Simpson reason for making that change: Losing animals because attackers failed to notice the giant boss portal. "D'oh! Where'd that huge portal come from?!" I'm with you in hoping a better fix is used. The closest supply drop is right on the edge of a cliff. I can squeeze 19 rexes and a yuti in there but it's a really tight fit. Half the portal's in the air. I really don't want to take up space around an obelisk considering how much people use them on my server but I might do that eventually. Every time we get back from a boss fight roughly half the animals are dumped off the cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the initial light shows up you have plenty of time to move your dinosaurs to the landing site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
