No kidding! It didn't take that long to drop that little 15 last night off the back of the Griffin, I really like that mechanic being a solo player! Sounds like we're almost at the same stage on the new map lol! Last weekend I built my Wyvern trap for my 175 poison egg I found...didn't want a poison one but I couldn't pass up the high level. I trapped three in there that were chasing me so that was a heck of a deal trying to clean up that mess and gather milk. Also, I had a run in with a Ice Wyvern on murder snow where there's two oil fields (I believe the coordinates were around 31-68). I haven't checked online to see if there's a nest around there but it was a hell of an accidental find and fight!

The First Quetz is always the hardest to find and tame I feel. Now I just use a tamed Quetz with a platform to chase down the wild Quetz. Sure it is probably safer to make a cage on that Quetz, but I'm too lazy/unskilled to build one on the Quetz platform. Tonight, my #1 goal is finding and taming another otter. If that is successful, I will look for a Ice Wyvern egg. I looked all over the snow Biomes a few days ago, and could not find even one nest. Even in the spots that Youtubers are showing them. I have some actual coordinates now, and will check them with my GPS. This weekend, I hope to build a Wyvern trap, so I can get milk to raise my 165 Lightening, 185 Fire and hopefully a Ice Wyvern! I also saw a 145 Female Mega-sloth (I only have a male) and a 145 Therazino that is living too close to my base for my liking. I will try to tame them as well if I get a chance. Last but not least, I need to start searching out more beacons. I have ZERO blueprints for good Ghille or Flak armor, and I want BP for Argy and Ptera saddles.

Nice. Though from my experience, while wild babies give more polymer I believe tamed adults are supposed to give more polymer. I am not sure how true this is since I really only used my Kairuku for kibble for Angler's. Also from perusing posts here one of the best ways to harvest organic polymer using the born and die approach is with a Moschop who's harvesting specialty is organic polymer. The post's I read said to just leave the adults on wandering so they will constantly breed, babies hatch, babies die, Moschop harvest's and with specialty as organic poly you will constantly have some.

Congrats on the Quetz! I was having a hard time finding them too but I actually tamed a level 15 last night lol....yeah pretty sad but at least I can use it for my trap on the bigger ones. On my search for Otters with my Griffin (which I've yet to find)....I seen a 145 flying around but I was too tired to go back for the long tame so I'll probably try it tonight after work....and try to find an Otter again lol.

I made a kairuku breeding area. So I can make babies and harvest them for Organic Polymer with my new pelagornis.

While my time on Ark single player has been limited I've never come close to lag or blue screening. I am actually surprised you get that on single player at all. Perhaps it is the Ragnarok map as I am not sure about the center, island or SE on the new server's but rendering dinosaurs is a lot more atrocious on Ragnarok in my official server experience so other underlying problems could exist as well even in single player mode. While I have dc'd plenty the only blue screens I have encountered was once around blue ob which is massively built up on our server and once when trying to load back in after a disconnect from host. On dinosaur rendering, when I am flying with my Wyvern 80 feet off the ground, I can pick out a lystro no problem but I have to get with in 50 feet of a Bronto, Rex, or Wyvern for it to appear on my screen? What's that?

Haven't really done much the last few days, mostly gathering, and bred my hyenas more. I now have a pack of 7 all with JM meatpacks and all lvl 150+. Nastly little guys, went out on foot with them and the can take on just about, rex, brontos...they just melt. Only issue is they dont seem to eat larger corpses for some reason This weekend we plan on taking a trip to the ice cave to kill ice worms for their horns to tame mantis. Our other big plan is to try to tame a rock golem. We have our paracer set up with an ascendent platform saddle with a cannon and surrounded the paracer with metal walls and i also plan on adding a generator and ac to keep us cool. Almost forgot, we didnt have a lot of time this morning so we decided to go on a meat run after hitting the ice cave loot crates (got an ascendent dunklo saddle, blue dire bear saddle bp, and MC sloth saddle bp...so a great run). On our way back, i notice a 150 albino male rex near our base. We decide to knock it out as we are still looking for one with good xp. Get it in the taming pen, knock it out...and jackpot, 8800 HP...35 points. I throw kibble in it and head to work. Ill find out at lunch how it was post tame but I think ill be doing another rex breeding session this weekend :). Update: Rex had 10560 hp, 1680 stam, and 290 melee post tame, not a bad rex at all

So yesterday at lunch I watched a video about a silica pearl cave on Rag. So last night, I figured I would try it out. I took my top Shark and Basil. I had to clear our some lobsters near the entrance of the cave, and then I explored the cave for about 30 minutes. Then on my return, I went back over to clear out more lobsters. In the end I collected over 500 Oil, 200 Black Pearl, and 6000 silca pearls!!!!! Then I jumped on my top weight Quetz, and made a metal run. I then went out on a Crystal and Obsidian run. While doing that, a Quetz spawned right by me. It was a level 140 Female! Since I was on my 150 pre-tame Male, I knew I had to get this female (even though I already had 3 females back at base - 2 tames, and one hatched) So I fly back to base, and grab an empty Quetz, and park an emergency Argy on the platform. Load up on tranqs, and grab my 22 remaining shock darts. Off I go looking for the female, and I finally find her. I begin tranqing, and she of course flies directly into the murder snow. A couple of time I let her escape to warmer areas, but eventually she got lodged up against the invisible wall in the murder snow area. I dropped her right there, surrounded her with spike walls, and then jumped on my Argy to kill off any threats, and to gather prime meat. While doing this, I realized that my health was dropping too fast. So I flew over to the nearby woods to gather the resources to make some fires. While on the ground cutting down a tree, I hear a whoshing noise, and I look up to see my first ever Ice Wyvern circling back to attack me. I jump on the Argy (Thank god I had brought "Screamer" my battle Argy!) and we take on the Wyvern. It was a good battle, and we finally killed it. That is when I noticed I was down to less than 100HP. I quickly landed, threw down the fireplaces and began eating the 5 Quetz eggs that I had mistakenly left in my inventory from earlier. LIFESAVERS! By now the fires had slowed my freezing, and I loaded them with raw meat to cook. I checked, and I got all the way down to 46HP! Tamed her up and flew straight home!

Had a long day of work, and was pretty tired last night, so I didn't do much on ARK. Spawned in at my Beach base, and loaded up my Argy with as many valuable resources as I could. Then I flew off for my main base at the top of the mountain in the Redwoods (Island Map). Just as I entered the area by the swamp next to the Redwoods, I spotted a Level 44 Baryonyx. Not too high level, but I have never seen one higher than 72 in all my time playing so I figured WTH, let's tame it. So I land my Argy "Painkiller" on a large rock next to a cliff. I then proceed to throw some tranq arrows at my quarry. Well, as expected, he changes direction, and comes right at me. So I continue to hit him with darts. At this point, my beloved Argy decided he needed to stretch his wings. Shoving me off the rock in the meantime! Oh hello Mr. pissed off Baryonyx, WHAM (gold dazed screen), wait for my controls to work again, and try to grab my Asc pike. but oops, wrong button combination and instead I bring up my long rifle, which I manage to get one shot off, before the Baryonyx stuns me again, and then Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm dead. (For you Metal Gear Solid fans, imagine the "snake, Snake, SNAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" sound effect) So I spawn back at my beach base. Luckily, I still had a Ptera there, but wait. no saddle, and all of my resources to build one are on my Argy back by my body. So naked and afraid, I begun running as fast as I can towards the location of my death. I was like a prehistoric decathelete! Jumping over rocks, sprinting pass Dilo, and hoping that I make it before the corpse timer runs out. FInally I can see the corpse beacon, and as I approach, I can clearly see the Baryonyx standing over my dead body, and beating the crap out of my Argy set on passive. Well my spyglass was on my body, and since my Argies are set to Ignore group whistle, I can't get him to pick me up, or defend himself. That's when I remember I had left a raft not far from that location. I grab the raft, run it right into the Baryonyx, and quickly jump onto my Argy. I then kited the Bary away from my body, and retrieved my possessions with less than a minute left on the time! I then finally tamed up the Baryonyx, had him follow me back to the beach base. Made a saddle for him, and flew back to my mountain base. I had planned on calling it a night, but as I neared my base, I saw a level 108 Female Anky all bloody but alive walking around. Well I already have 3 other Ankys, but none of my females were over 100 pre-tame, so I grab my Quetz, and fly back to grab the Anky. As luck would have it, she had disappeared. I then spent the next 10 minutes looking for her, and fighting off the wild Argies who kept attacking us. I finally found the high level female, and scooped her up. Flew her over to my Taming pen, and dropped her off. Knowing she was bloody, I decided to give her some time to heal up so I didn't kill her by accident. So I took a few minutes to capture and tame a few Dimorphs to replace the one killed by the Cnardia the day before. I get those back to the base, build a Anky saddle, and fly back to my taming pen. 4-5 shots latter the female is out, and I stuff her full of Mejos. I then flew back to base to do some work while she is taming. Upon my return to the taming base, the Anky is no where to be found at first. then I realize she had glitched thru the floor, and was trapped in the pillars below. So I spent a few minutes removing the floor panels, and tried to get her out. But no luck, she was glitched into the Pillars. At this point I decided, since the game glitched her thru the floor, and into this situation, I was going to Admin command her way out. So I ghosted her out of there. And brought her home. Made a batch of gas for the generator, and called it a night. This weekend I will begin searching for and taming Plesios and Mosas in the sea. Also, I will be taking out the 5 member Frog Squad, to go to Chitin Cave and get a ton of Cementing Paste. Have a good weekend everyone.

Shouted at the sky, waving my axe to get a cool screenshot....right before a carno knocked me off the waterfall I was standing on top off and landed in the river below, after which I got eaten alive by a school of pirahnas....so that was fun.

Hello all, Had people farm wood and stone around my house. It will never respawn because of the way foundations and ceilings stop respawning. With the closest base more than far away, I got irritated. So I made some scuba gear I went for silica pearls. It was so much fun so I forgot about the nice trees I had around my house. Then I died. Took a ptera and picked up my bag and Argent. On the way back the ptera lost stamina and got stuck close to ground so I jumped off and died again. At that time I noticed a Giga and a Titan on each side of the birds and body. So I got my rex out and went for my birds. Once there the Giga went up to the ptera and killed it. I thought fine its just one of those days. My argentavis was high up following the now dead ptera so it was fine. Getting to the now two bags that are left the giga started to go for the rex but got distracted as I walked away. Finally at the bag of my dead body I see it and just as I open it, the timer runs out and the bag despawns. 100 silica, scuba and fur gear gone. Back at base with rex and argent I logged out. Just laughing that this was one of these ARK days. Hoping I get a 10 cuddle imprints in row next time I log in. /Ariana Update : it was a walk imprint. Tomorrow I hatch two more rex eggs.

1.Did a meat run to feed my baby rex 2.Did a metal run with my quetz 3.Bunch of other not so fun stuff 4.Beaver Died 5.Logged off because upset about beaver

i would be so ashamed, not because u cant deliver what u promised but because of the lies and denial. i havent felt this screwed over since destiny 1. the reason why i am so pissed off about this is because the game is unplayable on xbox without a rentable server. the quality of ur game is horrid, it s not an early acces titel anymore, plus loads of features promised before, while and after launch are not in the game. pls stop defending , yes it hard to make games etc bla bla but that doesnt excuse ur obvious failure in transparency/communication. everybody with at least average intelligence knows that these delays and complications have nothing to do with the hurricane and or other technical difficulties. The reasons u give us for this delay are no valid excuse...i waited 2 years for a broken game to get fixed, been told over and over again that the game will be fixed towards the end of it early access life cycle..it s been realeased for about 4-5 weeks now..and its still not enjoyable over long periodes of time because the longer i stay in ark ( no matter what map etc) the more bugs and graphical errors occur. the overall optimisation and stability for xbox one sux so hard. what angers me the most is that wildcard gets no trouble/fines etc for this. feels so shady and fishy. i do understand that the ps4 and pc versions r doing a much better job, but need alot of improvement aswell. thats why i was happy to here about xbox playanywhere....but no, dont get that. ark is just going to be another one of my 2016-2017 disappointing games, that get deleted without ever being able to finish or fully enjoy it. thanks wildcard for lying to me and making me wait for nothing. ( took 2 weeks of vacation in september for ark, i get 2 weeks every 2 years) ( this is not a hate rant, this is a outburst of frustration)
