PS4 - Private Server - Ragnarok
So last night after work I jumped back on the server. Even though I am the only person with the password to the server, I am too dumb to figure out how to enable console commands, so I had a few points of frustration, when I got stuck in things that I normally would "fly" out off. Once I had to jump in place for about 2 minutes and FINALLY got unstuck, the other time I resorted to shooting at a nearby dimorph, and then letting it kill me, so I could respawn.
So I was very excited about taming some colored dinos, but I really only wanted high level ones. Tamed up some crazy looking 140 & 145 Anky pair. Tamed a bright red 140 Dimorph, and a neon green with yellow paws Sloth. And 2 dung beetles. That is it! I spent about 100 arrows and 25 darts on a beautiful 130 Doed, that would never run, never attack, would just stand there until bloody, then curl into a ball. So I would leave it alone, and comeback and repeat the whole process. It never would get KO'd. I've never experienced such a thing before.
I also came across a pair of 140 & 145 Argies, one was neon yellow with Pink trim, and the other was bright blue with purple and red. But my bird was on neutral, so I had to fly off and change his setting before going after the argies. When I came back, the Argies were engaged in a battle with 1/2 dozen Dimorphs, and no matter what I tried, I could not get them to leave the dimorphs and come after me instead. They kept circling each other all the way up to the invisible ceiling. Then the Yellow one was killed, and I finally got the blue one to follow me. I dropped it right on top of the big butte, on top of a rock. I cleared out everything in the area (basically nothing to begin with) and I went off to let it starve a bit.
It was at this point when I got so stuck that I had to get myself killed by a Dimorph. Finally after re-spawning, and collecting my loot bag, made a saddle and fly back over to the blue argy. Just in time to see 2 scorpions spawn in and drop DIRECTLY on top of the Argy on top of the rock. I grabbed one with the argy, and killed it, then grabbed the second one. But sadly they had already done their damage and killed the Argy.
I did spot a nice 135 Tapejara but it kept circling in no man's land, and I could not get a shot to connect on it. I also saw 5-6 great looking Spinos (including a Cyan, and bright blue ones, but I want to trap them to tame them, so I need to build the trap first.
I also saw a crazy looking Rex, but it was only a level 15, so I killed it instead.
I think tonight I will grind out a Spino trap, and start taming up those beauties I saw... both were level 145!
