Interesting DLC - Impossible missions

[Bawsach]

I'm not trying to attack your opinion lol, I was just giving suggestions to what my tribe does. Both that I mentioned are viable ways. Especially magmas in turret mode for the rock. But yeah, I agree that everything should be beatable solo, at the very least scale everything to the number of people...

In before Syntac starts back up his Ultimate Ark series and makes us all look silly at how to do the missions

I did not mean you, and i even agree with you @Bawsach

Someone else in this thread has a problem with other peoples opinions.

Nice vid, but why u dont use a magma? Gamma is a joke, 1 fireball each stage, 4 for the mobs, beta i take 30 ingots, and Alpha could be solo'ed with ambergris and 100ingots probably, got an asc saddle and stage one received 5k damage from alpha. So i left to return with that lovely healing whale turd.

Not me, just a random video using state of the art methods to solo it  Yea the tanking part sucks but apart from this its fairly easy.

Thanks for the tips for singleplayer i can also use turrets on paracer platform saddles to beat the hard missions.

But on the other side, i think the missions should be possible without dinos or engrams from other maps.

And some missions like Bog Beatdown are clearly not for people in singleplayer.

I wish WC would think twice about things they implement and at least test it with different playstyles in mind or a way to adjust these.

Offical PVP / PVE /Unoffical and people who play in singleplayer mode.

 

It may be a unpolular opinion to someone in this thread but i think when i play a game in singleplayer mode, i should have a way to beat all the content legit on default settings and without exploiting some mechanics.

And if I join a server or even a cluster without Extinction for Meks or a way to get Gigas or Reapers because the cluster have restrictions like the offical servers there should be a legit way without exploiting the game to beat all the content it has to offer.

At the end of the day this game should be playable and fun and i dont think its fun if only one ore two elite players with meks or tek gigas have access to these type of content.

Yes some kind of content should be hard but it should be accesseble for everyone at some point without cheeky ways to cheese it.

But how dare I to have an opinion , Im only a singleplayer player no one cares especially the devs but I payed for this game too like everyone else.

 

Well I can see your point but the content also needs to be challenging for tribes who roll full 10 people into fights. For singleplayer they should just scale down the bosses to a challenging level, but not nerf multiplayer bosses to being soloable before transfers even open. It's the best community building content we have, as everybody has to work together if we don't want to leave anyone behind.

Just completed alpha ichty and manta races last night. Dunno if they patched them since OP but they are do-able. I was maybe 0.5s or less from failing the manta race so it's tight, but do-able.

Yeah, race missions were patched :

v307.2 3/13/2020

• (...)
• Increase to timers on various beta and alpha race missions
• (...)

I since then done most of these race missions, minus the alpha saber one.

We beat the Beta Swamp Plcid a couple of days ago with a f ton of raptors and some imprinted spinos.

I haven't found the beta missions in bog and snow to be that bad, but alpha is another story. My partner and I took two x-paracers equipped with 8 tek turrets, 4 heavy auto turrets, and 4 regular turrets as well as 10 level ~280 bred and imprinted x-spinos to alpha Spy vs. Spino. Two spinos died the first round, another two died the second round, and we canceled the mission. Our spinos have >22k health. Based on how many left after that with less than 5k health, I don't think we could have done it with twice as many spinos without losing most if not all of them.

I’m confused, more specifically how you were able to use tek turrets and heavy turrets on racers when you can’t place heavies period and it doesn’t allow you to place tek generators on platforms

I was able to get through many of the alpha missions solo on PVE official, but some of the alpha hunts/escorts required that I bring tames from other servers.  I needed to work with another tribe to do the alpha sarco, allo, golem and spino.  I have yet to survive alpha tex-rex or giga.  For races, I was able to get alpha on each one except skiff and bloodstalker, and I am still trying to find a way to do the alpha turtle escort.  The only ones that seem like they are completely unreachable for me and the resources I have are the alpha mob missions - I just don't have the connections to get a big enough team for those.  But I am surprised that I was able to solo so many alpha missions, and I am not that skilled a player with gear and tames that are good, but not top-notch.  I would imagine that it would have been wise to make every alpha mission quite hard to solo - that is why it is an alpha mission.  I would have been disappointed if I was able to do all of them without a team.
