not exactly what we "did today" but close enough i guess, twas Saturday - we have been mostly on Ab lately, taming and breeding, building up etc. but wanted to do something on the island for a bit of a change. the only things left we havent done are ascension and the cave of the Strong. so we head to Green Oby and start moving rex, we need trophies from alpha Ape and Brood to make our alpha ascension run (hopefully this weekend ). we have been on those alpha runs many times, but usually as riders with other tribes. plenty of beta trophies in the ol'vault but no alpha heads other than dragon. run both fights back to back, then heal up the rex with Hellboy (crazy red 85k food daedon), get everyone parked again and its like....well....now what? there was mention of trying the snow cave again, and i knew one day we would go back, but the last trip was still kind of a sore spot with me -- (9 or 10 of us on the server went in and we all died and lost tons of gear) -- but it was either that or go back to Ab and do a cave there, so i said sure (half expecting not to go ). get back to camp, running around grabbing gear when i see Gnome has his cyan death squad (all 48 dimorphs) hovering above his thyla when i realize we are actually going to go back in, the 3 of us.... we are all literally "loaded for bear" and the adventure begins -- other than a large polar bear spawn in the first room, it was totally horrible and we made decent progress, going slow and killing everything needed to get to the next room, trying to keep the dimorphs away from bears. from the last trip we knew things would re-spawn quickly behind us, and we planned on fighting our way back out, so after grabbing artifacts we started back out and were pleasantly surprised that not many of the mobs had re-spawned...i was starting to get a little excited as we were coming up on the "first room" again, when Gnome gets dc'd and the proverbial poo hits the fan -- 5-6 bears again and i kid you not, id swear 10 purlovia. Ruh and i died pretty quickly, thats when it hit me all the bags we dropped are all further away from the entrance, and after 2 more back to back deaths i had to re-spawn back at our north camp. with images burnt into my brain of the last whoopin the cave put on us and knowing we had one room to clear to get out i grabbed what fur i could, a 290 AR from the boss vault and 2300 rounds, grabbed my wyvern and was back in just a few mins. turns out the primitive fur i grabbed lasted one bear bite, ruh threw me her pants (lmao, cyan ofc and the AR i grabbed was hers, cyan) and i went ham, spraying rounds at anything that moved -- other than the cyan pants, rambo would've been proud. Gnome had made it back in by now and with almost everything dead it was time to grab the gear and get the fooz outta dodge -- which we did in short order. i was the last out, there was a bear guarding the gold drop that i was not leaving without, and yes....Journeyman cloth glove bp for my Ruh (she loves her painted cloth sets). we get back to camp, unload everything and talk about the madness -- we have one dimorph left, and she has earned her spot at the fireplace now with the other shoulder pets that are special, never to see the outside again -- although she will give us eggs for another, smaller cloud, at some point.....maybe lmao. anyways, a SS or two for your enjoyment hehehe.2 points

PS4 - Single Player - Ragnarok & The Island Jumped over to Ragnarok survivor after watching the latest NEEBS GAMING video, which caused me to want to run the same cave. Crafted up a ton of bullets, flame arrows and grappling hooks, as well a brought a handful of Dilos and Dimorphs into the cave. My dimorphs can really tear up some dino butt fast! I built a bed at the entrance of the cave, with back up gear, and managed to run the cave. I only died about 9 times, and 3 of those times were because I screwed up with the grappling hook, and fell to my death, or fell into the lava. I did get the artifact, but all in all, the loot was so-so, nothing really great. oh yeah, I got a ASC stone pick..... DILO? a ASC stone pick axe!? What a waste! Basically I avoided the bad guys as much as possible, and just shot them from far away with flame arrows! On the way back to my Big Butte Base, I was alerted by my bulbdog to 145 female Therizino. Had some issues with taming her back at the base, so she ended up level 202 only. But she still is a beast. I spent the rest of my time with ARK on the Island with my new survivor. I finally made it to the level 61/62 needed for Argy saddle. That really helped. I was able to take the Argies out and level them up a ton by killing lots of baddies, plus we harvested a bunch of rich metal. I then took the best weight Argy out and over towards the Red OB. I ended up building a small outpost there, as I had nearly died to a raptor while off the Argy, and I prefer to have beds/outpost all over the map, to allow quick respawn, and hopefully save my dinos. While flying near the OB, I saw a level 13 Tapejara. I mormally use Tapejaras to tame Quetzels, and I had just seen a level 8 Quetz near the Red OB. WIth the settings like there are, I'm not going to pass any Quetz, so I decided to tame that Tapejara. Well, easier said than done, as I lost the Tapejara 4 times in the woods. The last time I got killed by a Level 18 Carno, who pinned be against some rocks. Luckily, I had already built the outpost nearby, and I was able to race back just in time to call off my Argy, and get him healed up. We then went back and released hell on that Carno. I then was looking for an explorer note near the Red OB, when I was surprised by the level 13 tapejara flying on the other side of a small hill. I managed to sneak up and bola it right on top of the hill, and KO it. Since I only had meat, I starve tamed the Tapejara, and after fighting off raptors, two boas, and a handful of ants, I got the Tapejara tamed up. While he was starving, I actually saw 2 other Tapejaras, and decided to tame the level 9 female as well. By the time I got back to the original base, I had tamed 2 Tapes, 3 Dilos, 1 raptor and 5 Lystros. I now have 11 Dilos, and I am using them to guard the hole in my fence that I need to leave for my Spino, since I haven't learned the Behemoth gate engram yet. Thankfully, being on a penisula keeps the visitors to a minimum, and the wall blocks off 85% of it, with the hole right in the middle. The Dilo turrets backed up by the spino and 2 Trikes should keep all but Alphas out for now. I also tamed up 5 Dimorphs, but wasn't until I had them all back in my base, that I realized they are all males. So I will need to go back out and get some females for the eggs and the pair bonding. While out taming that last Dimorph, the one on my shoulder saved me from death, as I got attacked by titanboa and knocked out. I was sure I would die, but the Dimorph saved my butt. I spent a fair amount of time leveling up the Tapejaras and Dimorphs by stalking the beaches and killing trilobytes for pearls and oil. Ended up with 7 black pearls as well! Finally as the weekend ended, I leveled up to 71/72, so I could make a Spino saddle. Was so nice to take that Spino out for spin, after taming it when I was around level 20, and just having it sit in my base, it was nice to use it. NEXT: Now armed with the Tapejaras, I will next attempt to tame the Quetz. After that, I will search for better level Argies to tame. I also am checking every Ptera I see, looking for an upgrade. Thus far I have only seen 4 dinos above level 30. (a 31 dilo, a 32 turtle which I tamed, a 36 raptor which I killed when it attacked me and my Argies on a metal run. (actually the argies killed him) and the last is a level 32 Lystro) So I'm not too hopeful of there being a lot of higher level dinos out there, but at least with the Argies, I can now feel safe to explore the rest of the map. I will craft up some fur armor, and head up to the mountains and snow regions to see what is around. However I did notice that towards the end last night, I was getting a little bored/burnt out. So much grinding the last week with the new character, and since the dinos are such low level, I have avoid most of the hard areas. So maybe I will take a break for a few days/week from ARK.2 points

Saturday was almost entirely a taming day as a result of a failed high level spino hunt. Yesterday the server was so laggy I was getting screen tearing, which almost never happens. So I did the logical thing and stayed close to home for the morning. Finished off the second floor of the Arkanus, my original base I'm rebuilding on official. Much better design, if I do say so myself. The top floor layout is going to be tricky due to a combination of official rates, changes in base design, and the fact that I'm just plain better at building than I was when I built the first one. After my afternoon break for lunch/nap (surgery recovery is going well, just need extra rest) I logged back in to find the lag much improved. I went out to hunt high level spinos and ended up bringing home a pachyrhino, a spino and a bary, all low level Easter colors. Did not find any high level spinos, it seems like the server was just too busy and I know at least one other person was hunting spinos to tame. I am debating building a new taming raft specifically for spinos on the volc river. There are open taming pens scattered about everywhere, but they're all too small for a spino, and the only consistent spawn point I've seen on this server so far is of course the swamp spawn. Even seen two up at the same time there before, first time for that. I could easily park a raft nearby, I think. Or just rebuild the one I already have and spend an hour sailing it around, lol. I also got a surprise, M is back and tribing with me again. His PC still won't run Ark but he borrowed his cousin's to at least get on the server. As is typical of him once we tribed up he decided to try to go off and level on his own (naked) instead of using Cadbury to powerlevel, after I spent 20 minutes cleaning his inventory so M could use him. Eventually he died to a raptor and decided to take Cadbury out after all. Silly man. The point of tribing is to share resources. Even he can't get that rex killed unless he walks into a high level alpha rex or a giga. While he was doing that I went on an oil run, having discovered the generator ran out while I was napping. Forgot they use more gas now...should be good for the rest of the week now. M didn't stay long, but I promised him he'll get his own room lol. We each get our own, not just for personal gear etc but also because he tends to be messier than I am. He has a habit of dumping everything on him into the nearest crafting station when he goes to log, instead of making a logoff box like a normal person. Drives me crazy. That will be incorporated into the top floor design as well. Top floor is basically dedicated to personal rooms and the greenhouse. Second floor is the workshop, main storage and the library for blueprints. Bottom floor is the kitchen, small animal housing, gear and taming supplies, electrical (ie generator) and the forge room that is integrated into the workshop with direct aviary access. The aviary itself is a split level combined aviary/farm. Bottom level for ground based animals, second level for all birds, for now at least. Depending on space the egg birds might end up below eventually, but right now we only have argents and pteras so they don't take up much room. Today I'm back at work so no more extended play sessions for me. Tonight I'll probably talk to I, who sold me 40 argent eggs essentially on credit, still need to work out what the repayment will be. He's potentially interested in fertilized eggs from my Easter animals, though I have no male spino for breeding yet. Also fine with paying in ingots or structures or whatever else we agree on. Overall goal this week is to build an industrial forge and finish the Arkanus main structure. I already started the forge box, and I guess I'll work on mass producing sparkpowder tonight to run the 5 refining forges I already built in anticipation. So glad argents can carry ankys now, I would be in a tough spot if they couldn't, though at least with M now we can tame our own quetz. Honestly though I'd be just as happy buying one from I if he has any available. PVE servers definitely have their own movers and shakers, and I is one of them.2 points

Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! The Community Crunch is where we share important things going on with ARK, as well as host contests and showcase creations made by the community! Console Transfers and TLC2! We're targetting a console release for this update in mid-April (week of 16th April) and will keep you posted about more accurate release dates once we get closer to the date! With this update, we'll also be: - Enabling item transfers and the vanilla-version of aberrant creatures to be moved to Aberration servers. This means that you'll be able to take over your regular Spino to an Aberration server. - Preventing people from building within the Ragnarok Puzzle cave, so if you store any structures or creatures down there, make use of this time to relocate them ASAP as once this update goes live on console, that will no longer be possible. It is important to note that the Turret Update will not go live on console with this update, but instead a future one. Upcoming Maintenance for some NA PC Servers! The maintenance will take place on Wednesday, April 11th at 2 pm Eastern. The maintenance will take approximately 2 hours to complete. During this time the servers will be shut down and the save data transferred. Once the transfer is complete, the servers will be brought back online. These servers will no longer appear in your Favorites due to an IP address change, therefore, you will need to search for the server again and re-favourite your server. You can find the list of servers in this thread: ARK: Evolution Events! We will not be running an Evolution Event this weekend. Our next Evolution Event will take place from the 20th of April at 1 PM EST until Monday the 23rd at 3 PM EST. All Official Servers will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes: 2x Harvesting Rate 2x Taming Rate 2x EXP Rate Easter Egg Contest! During the Eggcellent Adventure Easter Event, we ran a little egg painting contest! Survivors were tasked to collect their Easter Eggs and decorate them! We had two categories, one for in-game submissions, and the other was for real life egg painting. With the conclusion of the event, we're excited to announce our winners! Let's give it up for the following survivors and their eggcellent painting abilities! Rex Hatching Egg by Mitharen! Bunny Dodo Egg by Hosscat! and... Bunny Plesiosaurs Swimming Egg by wenkula! We'll be in touch via email for your prizes! We hope you guys enjoyed the Eggcellent Adventure event! We've loved all the screenshots you've sent us of the festively coloured tames you've discovered. Here are some pretty awesome ones: This year, unofficials servers can also continue to enjoy the event to their heart's content by keeping the event running Mod Tutorial Contest Update! Mod tutorial contest #3 is currently underway and still accepting entries until Friday. Remember that for this contest I am looking for tutorials for ridiculous and wacky buffs. I would also like to announce that the winner of the mod tutorial contest #2 is Xanjis! He has made an excellent tutorial for making a material/blueprint combo react to the time of day in ARK. Using a system like this, you could have a material do any number of things. It could shift textures, change values for stuff like roughness or specular or any dynamic parameters that you have set for your materials. You could have the entire world look light and fluffy during the day and nightmarish at night! Have fun with this kind of system in your mods! Next week I will have a new Wildcard Workshop tutorial ready for you. We'll be diving into and breaking down replication for you all. You get a detailed look at how to build your mods with multiplayer in mind while keeping them performant. Official PC Legacy PVE Savefiles! Download 'em here! Attention PC PvE Legacy Survivors! We've made the current Legacy PC PVE Savefiles available to download. This has been a community request for some time from our player base as some of you have expressed interest in moving on to your own dedicated servers. The snapshot was taken on the 3rd of April 2018 and we're going to see if we can also make console PVE legacy saves available. Please keep in mind that we won't be offering this on our regular Official Network or PvP Legacy servers. Notification Settings on SurvivetheARK! There have been some changes made to the email notification settings on our community hub. You can read more about the changes in Chris' latest announcement: ARK is on Sale for PS4 & Xbox!

if the sea cow and the archelon were in ark i would so tame them especialy for such of purposes as the users that made those dossiers.... i think they would have a wonderfull niche in arks ecosystem to considering a carboenemys is a tortoise and we dont have yet a sea turtle.... wich would be more effective in water then said tortoise and the ocean is lack sea mammals..... we only have basilo wich is a whale... we need more sea life anyways and i think these would be good starters...1 point

A fridge trough powered by genie and have half the amount of spoil time as a fridge so that its not too op and the tek trough is still worth making this would be huge add on for the game that would help the average player who isn't in a large tribe. Instead of trying to do boss fight the average player will be able to breed efficiently without a tek trough. Most players shy away from breeding because they cant find trust worthy friends or are not big enough to do a boss fight so breeding is a up heal battle for them to try and be on .This would massively help out the breeder community.Not only that but it will help with new players.1 point

Great info man! I finally hit 80 and ventured out to Desert! Found all the drop locations and after accidetly blocking 3/4 (lol) i had it figured out. Ran drops for easily 8-10 hours every 45 mins. Got a premade asc quetz saddle Besides the drop runs got a bit of QoL work done at base. Got a dung beetle to get my farm up and running. Did some metal runs with my argy, built a small smelting facility ontop of canyons highest pillar. Kept doing metal runs between drop runs. I love farming ingots, its probably my favorite Ark passtime. Finally brought my griffin back from its desert home with loads of good stuff. For my next run ill turn down beacon loot a bit, 3x is a bit much, it rains Asc gear. ( cant believe i had it at 5 at the start! ) Didnt tame much today, but I did do something different to kill some time. Im working out the details for my next play, its going to be The Island with No Flyers. They include a slider bar for platform saddles now and being a huge paracer enthusiest (and their only problem being low structure limit) I wanted to test my 5x platform saddle limits. Hopped into creative mode and threw together the most ridiculous pacer saddle. I made it huge, completely boxed in the pacer and had every crafting station (including indy forge, chem, grill, 10x turrets etc) Thing was massive. I didnt know we could do this, it adds a lot of possiblilties to my SP Island play. After I was done testing, deleted all the structures and took off my my new quetz to grab the metal I smelted. Happy with my progress I logged for the night1 point

So far today some terrifying and good news. I was out on my lesser griffin getting drops and checking tames. Landed for a yellow near my base and a 145 giga came out from some trees, i tried to run but foolishly was out of stamina from traveling before and died, lost my first griffin! I went back and admin killed the giga out of spite. My first admin code kill lol. Was out looking for a dung beetle and came across a 145 quetz flying above volcano. Im only level 76 but I do have quite a few rex eggs, having 6 rexs from breeding now. I chased that sucker for a good while and got it knocked out in murdersnow lake. Made some rex kibble painstakingly in the cooking pot, got 3/4 of what I needed the rest will be mutton. Currently 50% tamed. Edit: Ive had two dashboards today, one made me lose a tame, the other made my quetz tame at 80% go back to 30% when i pumped narcs on him, had to go refarm 1000 narc berry and lost 4 kibble because rollback (idk wsaidits fine now, got more mutton itll only tame a few lvls lower. That being said im worried about my xbox's ability to keep ragnarok my main farming / taming / breeding map so im going to take preventative measures. I need a kibble farm but it will lagg me out and potentially cause more of these and worst, corrupt save. (Knock.on wood for me please!!) So im going to devise a "tame for kibble" system where i tame X dino (maybe has to be mate boosted?) And kill them.off in exchange for spawned eggs at an amount per the tamed level. Low amount say.. 5 eggs per lvl 150 or something to keep the grind & reduce lagg.. Edited out question, answred below. Thanks!1 point

So, been a while since I've updated. The wife and I were getting a little bored on our Aberration server shortly after the valentines day event so we decided to take a little break for a bit. Earlier this week we got the urge to play again, but not on Aberration. We wanted to go back to the island. We haven't played the Island since the island was the only map, shortly after the first biomes came out. So I rented a second server last night and today started new toons. The only mod Im using is S+. We have a difficulty of 7.5, taming at 7.5x and gathering and xp at official rates. We spawned at the red oblisk and got a little shack built near the red oblisk cove. Spent most of the morning levling and stock piling and we also tamed a poop machine to use as a fridge. Then an alpha raptor spawned near our beach. We are no way prepared to kill one, so i put all my gear in a box and spent the next 20 minutes suicide kiting it away. Once it was far enough away we called it quits for the day. Our immediate plan is to level to 16 to build a raft, then we are going to pack up and move north and build a base on the outskirts of the snow biome. Our 1st time playing the island we spent most of out time around weathertop and hidden lake, so we thought it would be nice to check out differant areas1 point

Remember if you hold a torch they run from you at night now ! I had a busy night! The wife is away at a hockey game this weekend (Cya later Swede brothers!) So I got the whole night to myself! I Started off by getting 100% imprint on my rex (praise RNGesus) now I have a good base breeder and a good meat runner. Stats need some work but im excited to get my own bloodlines going. Currently sitting at 8k hp 310 melee 1.9k stam As this was happeneing i farmed up the rest of my base, placed 5 fridges, more AC for breeding room. Tamed a level 90 anky for small metal runs at new base. After a few runs i realized its probably faster just to find a dedicated metal spawn and build an outpost.. tomorrow d1nk problems. Ive been hitting the ice cave drops pretty hard the last few days. Roughly once an hour and ive gotten loads of good stuff. Finally looted a pick blueprint, happened to be a nice Asc one too! Now I just need an axe bp! Theres roughly 5 possible red drops around my base, also hit those hoping for a rex saddle bp. I bred up another rex, knocked out a 150 paracer near base, mating pair for my 135 I tamed earlier. The rex got shafted on stats but I figure its just another body for the army. Paracer tamed out great, good hp and melee! Found a 150 mammoth, as im knocking it out dodging wolves in snow near my base, mustve accidently hit it an extra time, i didnt notice until i threw food in awhile later and didnt want to reknock out. (Came out 74%) Did a few more metal runs while it was taming. Got a few stegos for the start of an egg farm. Birthed a baby pacer, came out same stats as new tame but opposite gender, sweet! Realized ill need a kibble farm for imprints so thats my mission today. This base is really coming along, almost complete for the main buildings.. just need to flesh out the crafting stations more, get a farm together (need a dung beetle) and some finishing touches. Ive gone for function over aestetics this time, though I will try to atleast make it look good! Just logged on for the day today, getting some lifeblood into me (coffee) and im ready to get stuff done. Hoping for some good imprints on my baby Paracer1 point

With such low weight you are probably better off hitting in the area of 75 47 (hill top here has a few crystal nodes) and 64 60 (hill top here). from personal experience you'll have some bugs and Theri's to deal with at 75 47 but they are rarely on top of the hill. You could also hit a few nodes right in the beginning of the hunter artifact cave 80 53. they are right in the entrance before you get to the nasties. Again some Theri's, Troodons (so no go at night) and maybe a Carno biggest obstacles but for a quick hit it'll at least save you some time until you get a higher weight bird to make the trip to the Volcano worth it. I also see you posting, so just so you know there is a post limit on your first couple of days. So if you hit it don't fret, come back tomorrow and keep posting meaningful content and you'll get out of early bird soon enough.1 point

That's why you leave the rex on passive and use a pike/sword/crossbow to kill the dilo. Or spike walls for protection. Yesterday was another busy day. First off I will say...I didn't do any building. I did make a grill and immediately farmed oil and then a couple of alphas to fill it. With my jerky supply finally rolling I went off to hunt, mainly looking for two argents to round out my farm. Out to carno point, the first thing I took notice of was a lone Easter argent attacking an alpha raptor...and the alpha was fleeing. You better believe I checked that bird first, a 135 male. I had a feeling I should tame it so...I did. I got it down and took a huge risk running home to make what I could for kibble, then ran back. I was going to starve tame but the alpha had disappeared so I did the next best thing. Gathered a bunch of prime, fed it, chucked the kibble in then went off to farm. I eventually found the alpha (it had run into the snow and gotten stuck out of sight) but obviously it was too late by then. No matter. Still got the tame as good as I could manage and it stood up a 190. Very respectable, and the stats aren't too bad either. 39 HP, 33 weight and 34 melee, stamina got the shaft a bit but I'll take it. Got him home and went back out to hunt. Eventually tamed and brought home 2 Easter ankys, a terror bird, 3 more argents and 2 pegos. Yes, you read that last one correctly. I tamed pegos. On purpose. Crazy, right? I also went looking for a pachyrhino but didn't find any at a level I was willing to tame. The only screenshot I took last night, I did tame that anky successfully and brought her home: Today's goal: coax eggs from my argents and going out to hunt for the good spino I so desperately need. I was getting so frustrated with Cadbury last night. It's not his fault, but he's just too slow and cumbersome, and the Blue Spino Ranch needs, well, spinos. I only have the one so far, and she's not strong enough for much beyond the occasional swim in the bay below my ridge.1 point

Last double post, this will have me caught up! After re-reading I realized two things. One, im a terrible writer and im glad I do labour for a living. Two, I forgot to add while travelling between my two bases I found a 150 argy, knocked it out with the arrows I had in the open. It was a huge battle to keep it safe where it was but eventually tamed out perfect Started off Thursday with a base in mind. Of course it never is *just* that! Jumped on my doed, brought my beaver over yesterday with my argy and headed out into the bush to mass produce a base. I spent a good 2 hours straight on doed/beaver using argy to ferry prebuilt dino gates, walls etc back to base. We havent gotten TLC2 yet on Xbox so I was suprised how efficient this was. I actually kept focus and at the end of it all I had 100 gates & doors, 150 walls and 45 foundations. I was going the lazy gate-wall route this time because I know this base will be big and its already pretty laggy for whatever reason near Green ob. I had a lot of time to play so I managed to get my entire permiter wall up, including 2 behemoth gates with another behemoth gate on my 15x16 breeding / crafting facility. I ended up just putting a roof on the crafting portion and leaving the breeding pen open to the air. Not too worried about threats, there might be a Giga spawn (very rare) but the gates will stop em. There is a titan spawn, I usually just lead them away though. Got all my crafting stations down, I was smart this time and built my genny in my foundations whilist framing so I was able to run cable perfectly straight & hidden in foundations. Woohoo! Farmed up another fridge, 2x ac and a ton of storage. I wanted to do some taming now, I set off on my rex (now saddled) for a killathon around green to try and get a good level male rex spawn. Spent a good hour just killing before i got my first intresting dino, 120 female rex. What the heck. Knock it out away from the spawns and let it starve with spikes around it as Im killing away. Almost another hour passes, my rex is tamed and im still killing. I head back to base to drop hide off and possibly hop off and whuddya know.. Ark has other plans. I spot a real nice coloured Rex, red spine, white body, red-orange belly, scope it and its a 140 male! Hes close to my base so I drag it to my gates and pin it with more gates against mine. Knock it out, tames up with no problems. Low hp, high stam, decent melee. I threw them together and made a couple eggs which ive hatched and just finished babies before bed. I just got home (irl) just hopping on now to get some imprints, start of my weekend so much more interesting things to come later!1 point

I'm sad, since yesterday the official server ragnarok pve is capped (i see much raft ecc) and I d'not know what to do. Me and my friends wanted to be bosses and grow t rex here but he decided to don't play, is frustating... I don't know what to do, I don't want to play on unofficial servers because they don't last long and I also want to unlock the achiviement and have the chance that I can go in all the maps... I think I'll leave ark and I'll look for another game0 points
