Another productive and fun weekend in ark. Was off this particular Saturday so got to hatching right off the bat. I popped several but not all Quetz and Yuty eggs but nothing with what I was seeking. The main crux was replacing parts of the Theri Army and I had tons of good luck. 10 babies with the full 9.2k hp, 419.8 melee we are working with and an 11th baby that missed on the melee but gave us a new hp at 9.5k. They were at 99% this morning before work so will finish up while I am here. I also hatched 2 Rex's to replace the 14k 461's loss a few fights ago. These are only 13.6k hp but do have 472 melee. I also bred them with my clean females and pulled the 2226 stamina (main male only has 1800) and the 940 weight. I did some small side hatches as well during the weekend. I finally hatched a male Carno with the 4200 hp, 1620 stamina, and 384 melee. I raised him with 100% imprint and then bred him with the 3 females I had. Out of those eggs one popped with triplets. 2 males and a female, all stats. I will give the extra male to my one ally so he can breed with his females for his own mating pair as well as give him and the rest of my allies 100% eggs. I'll hold the other pair as back ups to a potential disaster cave run. I also was able to combine my 800 weight female Argy with the 1400 stamina male Argy. Once that was finished I bred that male with my top hp of 4088 which is on a female and that Argy is a male and raising right now. The next part will be a bit trickier since the high melee is also on a male so I need to transfer one of these stats over to a female. Once that is done and combined I will hatch the variety of mutes I have been accruing and breed the stats in, get mating pairs, and put them on the market all the while I still got my completely clean sets including the clean 800 weight male to mutate and add in the weight to the mutant line. To make stat transfer easier I may breed a clean male with all the stats. My flier barn is going to get filled up fast with that route and so I took the next step towards turning that barn tek and added two tek generators, 4 tek troughs and 4 tek lights. I also replaced several of the behemoth's with tek behemoth's. I will tear down the other normal behemoth's and just make them solid walls as I discovered I don't use them and putting tek behemoth's there would be a waste of resources. We also had the start of the Arkeology event and my alliance all agreed that for tek rex's we will be acting as one tribe. Sharing stats, helping tame, breeding amongst each other, and finally raising as a group. We want to get the top tek rex's if we can and while fortune has been favorable in some aspects it hasn't blown us away yet. We have farmed rex spawns quite well and produced a lot of tek rex's including several high level. We are taming them all, retamed scorpions to be sure we will have kibble, if they are 150 or higher. However even with good pre-tame stats and extra levels we aren't seeing anything that has blown us away. As a group I believe our top stats currently sit at 9680 hp, 2268 stamina, 990 weight, and 384 melee. We've seen 11k on a tek rex and a 387 melee. We've heard of 13.6k but no pictures and another guy tried to fake everybody with a 525 melee tame but it was on an unleveled 270 tek rex (max level of a 180 would be 268) so that must of been an unofficial server. Still we have tamed many and some people have seen none. I believe our current count is 8 156+ tek rex's tamed. No 180's yet but several 174's. I also broke off to keep from farming the area's too hum drum and tamed up a few Yuty's. Nothing new to add in though so they got the lightning. My tribe mate has either lost interest or has some personal stuff going on so he's been off for a bit. So we ran a double fight and I introduced the new Yuty and rode it and whistle commanded my Theri's and Rex's. Both fights went actually real smooth too. The new meta is to leave one tank Rex at our spawn in point on passive and we all just drag the Golem's back to it. Think it lost 18k hp at most. I drug around 3 Theri's and a Rex (to keep dimorph's off of me) and we had much success. We also ran back to back monkey fights on the island. I noticed that our tek gen's were quite low so checked artifacts and trophies. We farmed up a few spino sails and those fights went well too. I brought over the old Yuty from rag to replace the one loss in dragon. 220 element should keep our gens fed for a bit now. I expect with most of us finishing up the Theri raises we will be attempting beta dragon again soon. The Theri's will have a great deal more veggie cakes in them this time as I think that was the biggest difference. That and the Yuty. I plan on riding the Yuty in this next fight. There will also be a more even split of Theri's as I am leaving at least 3 additional on Rag instead of supplying 11 like last time. I do believe we will have success this next time with ground shooters, one Rex protector, one Theri rider controlling all, and the Yuty buff. Also on the taming front I spied a 135 event wolf while in the desert. My one alliance member has a nice wolf line going so I knocked out the wolf and showed him the colors and stats and asked if he wanted it tamed. He said yea. The color is gorgeous in my opinion and it actually tamed out well in the hp department with 3102 (he has slightly higher though). I asked him to get me a wolf with that color and his stats and I can use it in a few cave runs on the island. Finally yesterday my last day in between clearing the Rex spawns I started to rebuild the redwood base.I placed a teleporter pad over there as flying the laggy distance is the biggest reason it gets neglected and I have turned it into my farming base. This base was my tribe mates when he merged and it's a very nice build. With the update to greenhouse, a big part of the design, going to a 15 day timer I recrafted and placed the window's. This base is also very close to the beaver dams in redwoods so I took over the utility dino's I will need there, mostly. I placed an elevated portion inside to open up the ground floor from dino's clogging it up. I took a bear, my go to animal to raid beaver dams as you stand on his back when dismounted and can take all then just ride a bit and drop the wood, a mammoth, a weight Argy, a tape, a delicate and power Theri, a vulture for microraptor's and Purlovia dismounts and over there already is a doedic, a mantis, a beaver, an anky, a couple Thyla's for quick meat gathering and taming. I will need to build a small add on to the roof to get up there easier or build a different area to house a weight Wyvern for easy charcoal gathering that close to the trees. I did keep a few farmers at the main base and the desert base as well but the redwoods has a lot of resources so it makes sense to use it as such. This upcoming week I believe we will push hard to do beta dragon and tek cave. I hope to see a few more improvements so I can finally feel secure to buy Aberration and continue the story line there. The rest of my allies have it so they have been building up our mega army and trying to get some good level drakes for the Rockwell fight. I'd love to join them in the quest but I'm a stubborn cuss when it comes to my word. We'll also keep farming for tek rex's to try and start an amazing line of those. We figure with the amount of people we have we can easily hatch 300 eggs a week amongst all of us to try and get the stat mutes we will be looking for but we want a higher base hp at the least and preferably melee before we start that endeavor. Until next week. .

Today was a short day but we got started on phase 2. We started with a metal run, then started building the back wall with what metal we had. We should only need 2 sides made out of metal because the other 2 side are on a cliff so the wall is only to keep our dinos from running off the cliff. Tomorrow night we are going to start breeding ankys for color morphs. Plans for this weekend are to hopefully finish the wall and get the old base demolished. We also want to do more taming. Hopefully we can find a few decent tek rex to tame and Id like to find a 150+ mate for our kanga. I'm thinking of firing up an SE server for a change of pace while we wait for extinction to come out. Head over there with a naked toon and start with nothing.

i love how people complain that the release date is too far but if they rush it and it has bugs..they still complain..give them time it already looks fantastic let them make their game..

After hearing about the new DLC that is supposed to come out November but let's be honest probably more like February sorry WC but you do have a track record. I decided to dive back into the wonderful world of Ark. started off by deleting all of my single player save data so I can start fresh except for my level 150 unicorn that I forgot that I left undownloaded in my single-player obelisk. I can definitely use a mobile mortar and pestle. And his stats are pretty great too. I'm actually going to do it this time. Going to start on the island kill all three bosses then do the tech cave. move on to scorched-earth after that. Do the same there and finish off with aberration. Right after the release of aberration I played on that map a bunch and I had a really nice file going with a rock Drake family and I was really doing well but then I realized that I didn't have access to any of the Tek engrams and instead of just transferring my character over to the island to do that I just kind of got bored and stopped playing. I do have one question though. Even though I deleted my single player save data it still shows dossiers that I had already received, is that normal? Is there a way to wipe that on single player?(on ps4) I really want to start Absolutely Fresh. ( except for that unicorn which my wife still remembers she pointed out and I didn't believe her I didn't want to go back and check it out, I obviously did "Just humering her" and really didn't help the "wife is always right" stereotype)

looks sicks have the same look but the glider just finenesses it

Today i build my second hut and also found out that if you accidentally join a tribe and then leave, you're no longer the owner of the things you build before. Is there some cure for this? If not i am happy to find out at this early stage of playing. Also tried abberation, very pretty but to way to difficult for now. Maybe later on. I'm just finding out how to use a bow and arrows, really fun lol. I dont know how to heart your reply...

Black and red is actually the plan, its what I dye my armor When i actually get some time this week im going to start breeding anyks to try and get color morphs, plus to make battle ankys

*sigh* I've waited about 2 years between WoW expansions and now I see people whining about waiting for 5 months... Ark is closing for Extinction, not the (real) world >_<

Another short playtime today but we got a decent ammount accomplished. I've been having trouble dragging myself away from eso, lol. First we put a stone roof on our base. Eventually it will be glass but its taking so long to find crystal so I just wanted some type of roof. While gathering so stone my wife found enough bones to make brachiosaurus costume After the roof we went on a crystal run and came back with about 1200. Now our glass walls are about 75% complete. Here are some pics of the skin and the base progress Inside Plans this week are to finish the glass walls and then start extending the fence around it

Sad days. Died for the first time on this server tonight, but more on that later. Not much really happened tonight, just a quick one. Tonights plan was to start the mass harvesting to get the resources and structures together to complete the perimeter wall so I can start building into the lower levels of land around my base. But before that I decided I was fed up with pick collecting thatch so went on the hunt for a megaloceros with my argy. Went straight to the snow area closest to blue obelisk and had a look around. Best I could find was a 100 male so picked it up and took it back to base to tame in the taming raft. While the deer was taming up I started the mass collection of stone and wood that I would be needing. Once the deer tamed up I collected thatch to my hearts content. Started mass crafting stone walls and crafted up a few stone behemoth gateways. Still cant decide if I want to just sod it and ring the base with the gateways but that usually ends up looking pretty ugly so will probably have a mixture of gates and walls. So for just now just placed down the gateways that I would be needing for access into the base. Now onto the death, am so gutted was doing so well and was being so careful. Of course in full Ark style it was a full on dashboard. While scouting my perimeter to decide on the area I would be fencing off, I discovered that the water area infront of my base had a small cove that would be perfect for a smallish water pen. While picturing out the area for the pen on my argy I dashboared above the cove and by the time I logged back in I had inevitably drowned.

What are you still doing here then it seems you dislike everything , go play WoW or something like that

Im personally gonna dislike all of the DLC until i see DLC with dinosaurs in it. Devs are trying to make a plot to this game which.. by part of community might be enjoyable, by other part not. I belong to the second group, so what do we get since start. -amazing game with extinct animals, where each dossier was hyping me more and more -Scorched earth meh.... but we finally got desert, but still adds mythological stuff i personally don't like so i'll call it crap -Aberration which give us more mutated crap -Extinction which give us even more technological scientistic mecha robo prime TEK crap. waiting for ARK vanilla 2.

Indeed, it's been a long time since Aberration came out, and waiting to November for this one seems very excessive.
