Going in-land before having a house with a simple bed was my worst mistake. Countless hours wasted trying to find my way back home after getting rekt.

WindsweptDragon Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Creating bases that take up huge areas and fencing off areas where drops happen, sure way to annoy everyone else on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioActiveMan Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Demanding others on the server give them stuff instead of learning how to play Taming Dinos before getting a safe place to keep them Not being able to build in the exact spot they spawn, and exclaiming they cannot build anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvaka Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Along with taming too early, add taming too late. Great to build a taming raft and grab a dodo and a mammoth early on. When I first started I avoided taming for a long time. Literally farmed stone from beaches by hand for hours at a time. Don't tame before you can protect dinos, but as soon as you can keep them safe, tame away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindsweptDragon Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Ignoring the dodos, or just using them for meat. If you tame a few the make a good source of eggs for eating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asper Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Not reading what all berries do and eating the wrong sort knocking yourself out while all ready dehydrated by a fresh body of water within dragging distance of your body. Not closing your door even on a pve server because they are safe right?..... Joining a random tribe you know nothing about. Leaving your home without being prepared or even paying attention to where you are going. Random placing of buildings which locks out tree growth and rock reformation.

I kill raptors in 2-3 spear jabs but dilos are like tanks compared to them. Might be a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicBobert Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I've been able to sneak right up to new players and catch them off guard. You really have to watch and listen all the time. Literally if you're not in your house then you're not safe lol. And as a new player make sure you don't initiate fights in PvP until you level up a lot more. You never know what kind of friends and back up another survivor might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrkek Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Walk in, run out. Don't check your inventory near dilos. No, it's not an Itchy. Respect the little things, ants and compys can mess you up if you let them. Check for other trikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I've seen this happen in my server a lot and it's very annoying, not really a big "mistake", but something new players shouldn't really do because it doesn't make them look good. 1. Asking for free stuff. (I don't mind giving people free stuff, I actually give random people that are near my base free hide stuff and metal tools sometimes just to make their ARK life easier. But I give them because I want to not because someone keeps asking me to do it which is just annoying me and makes me NOT want to give that person stuff.) 2. Asking/Begging to join BIG tribes. (Like what? Do you expect a big tribe to let you join on your first day? When no one even knows you? You could be a random troll that's going to destroy everything in a few hours/days or when no one is online to stop you.. ) 3. People who constantly ask "silly" questions instead of actually trying to find the answers themselves. (Like why ask what kind of kibble a dino prefers? There's this beautiful place called http://ark.gamepedia.com/ where you can find anything you need. Never heard of http://ark.gamepedia.com/? No problem, go on google and type what you need. Google is your friend, it knows that kind of stuff. Like I would get asking important questions or opinions from players like "What dino do you think gets more berries?", now I don't mind those kind of questions, but it's really annoying to see how some people just expect answers from everyone just like that. And they don't ask just once, no.. They keep asking over and over again even if no one answers. Look it up yourself, find out yourself, it's a survival game. Where's the raptor if people give you everything you need?) 4. New people leaving random structures all over the place. (It might be just me, but I find it very annoying to see random thatch bases or random foundations on the beach or anywhere else actually that are even broken into or never used and probably blocking supply drops or other resources.) I don't know if I'm the only weird person around here that's bothered about these little things, but oh well, felt like putting this here too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irkalla Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 worrying too much about dying. I learned something each time I died. Punch a stego, they will kill you. Good to know. It takes more than one spear to kill a turtle, good to know. Ignoring the food meter and you'll starve, good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the names of my force tame pets I got unstuck on Herbivore Island so I could harvest the wood. I got a bunch of force tame pets there on roaming. Don't need saddles. You just hit E when you get close to them and you are then in control. When you dismount, they continue roaming. Terry 3 ended up teleported to the edge of the world when I use his attack to unstick him from a tree stump on the beach. The sharks got us before we got halfway back to shore.
