  1. Scorched Earth, modded single-player: Stay on Task. Stay on Task. Stay on Task, dang it! So, last I checked in I was in the process of crafting several thousand adobe pieces to construct my sanctuary...so that I had the needed floor space for dragon hatching and hoarding. But over the last couple of days... - I was out by my oil pumps and the rex spawns looking for tek rexes...to no avail. Since the first one I saw I have not gotten another one to - TROODON - I immediately dove out of the sky and wiped those damn things out. I’ve been lounging on Aberration so long I haven’t thought about those awful things in ages. As I was...to spawn. I’ve also been looking for a female thylacoleo to bring back for the male I tamed. And I’ve struck out there too. - Even though I should have been farming adobe pieces, I’ve kept straying back to the World Scar to see if any new fire wyvern eggs have spawned, since I’ve been running regular dino wipes attempting to get that tek rex spawn, so the Scar has been refreshing too. I found a 112 base fire egg. But now I really should get back to building... - I decided a second pony would help my cactus sap gathering efforts, since I’ve been approaching it by loading up my four refrigerators and then filling my pony’s inventory again, a second or third pony would help. So off I set - ooh, lightning whelp! Well, 148 tiny dragon takes precedence. Brought him in and took off again and - oh my god, is that a MANTICORE? Yup... that’s definitely a manticore. I knew Dragons and Enhanced Creatures had manticores, but I’ve never seen a manticore in person. Well...it’s only a level twelve...but she’s so darn cool...yes. Yes I’m taking her home. I might have used my eagle as bait to successfully bring her down, but now I have Melusine the manticore, and I really need to find that pony - ooh, fire drake! Well, you know, if I bagged the fire drake I could go phoenix hunting. Screw it. My new manticore friend is on passive being guarded by my rex at the unfinished facility. What’s one more passive flier? Pet res exists for a reason. So, now there’s a fire drake but seriously, pony. Now. No more distractions - holy crap, dodowyvern. I spawned a dodowyvern back in Fear Evolved 2016 on Xbox, but he disappeared after the event ended, and I’ve always wanted another one. She’s only level thirty, but...hey, dodowyvern! Look how tasty my eagle is! But aside from a slightly singed eagle, I now have another dodowyvern, and I’m very happy about her. But, for real this time, I need that pony and to go back to building...but... maybe I have time for that 116 archeopteryx. My eagle does have chitin on him... At length, I settled for a level 96 pony. Not the 100+ that normally is the standard, but I was pretty certain if I didn’t settle I’d bring home another dozen things waiting for that spawn. And I also picked up three cute jerboas on my gathering runs. But, this morning I added a third pony and buckled down to focus on construction, getting distracted only twice for a microraptor and a hyaenodon, and just after 8:00 p.m, I finished my Sanctuary. I even had enough crystal stocked up to make all the greenhouse windows. And now I’ll gradually start replacing the torches with crystal lamps, and it will truly be complete. But it will be a long time gathering enough crystal, metal and silica pearls for electronics before I’m done fully converting. Next Up: The aforementioned crystal, metal and silica pearl farming, more hunting for that tek rex and thylacoleo now that my plate is clear, and more World Scar runs to find my fire wyvern eggs. And I might just hatch one of the two eggs I’ve found thus far.

  2. Xbox Official 866 The Island Solo Tribe I have got alot done since my last update. Buildings My main house/hatchery is now all stone. The Dino shed is now wood instead of thatch i have increased the size of my storage hut so it will fit 4 vaults along the back wall, when i build them all that is. i now have a 5x3 greenhouse ontop of the workshop with running water and also a tammed dung beetle for fertilizer. the dino barn now has a aviary on top. with dino gate and wood fence walls. also build a rex breeding/holding pen and a argy/dino breeding stable. Dino's i purchesed a high level rex so i could breed them together. also tammed a Dung beetle. And a 130+ saber on my new taming raft. i started to raise some egg's , which was interesting,i raised 5 argy eggs and 5 ptera eggs and 1 rex. all of them made it to juvinelle stage, by 3 am i couldnt stay awake any longer and had topped up the feding troughs with as much cooked meat and the rest raw meat. When i woke i was left with 2 ptera's and 3 argy ( the 3 of the 5 i wanted to survive) and also the rex. after that i took some of the things i learnt and started to hatch another 4 rex and eggs and 3 argy's and raptor. once they got to holding about 60 raw meat as baby i started to do meat runs on the rex, durign 3x event getting over 300 from a parasaur. and then getting it cooking in the grill. once it cooked moving it to feeding trough. this time they all survived with lots left over. I also took the saber to 3 of the easier caves and got some chitin for cementing paste and also artifacts. Got the artifact of the pack,cunning and hunter. will try and add pictures below when i get home and figure out how this forum likes pics lol

  3. A good weekend in Ark. We were graced with a 3x breeding event in Ark this weekend. due to my work schedule I can only take part in about half of the event but that isn't of much concern. I was pleasantly surprised that the server did not get capped and I limited myself to raising a few tames only. During this event i focused more on getting xp for myself and some tames as well as harvesting to restock plus for a few specific blueprints. I also focused on hunting for additional stats for my lines. Friday and Saturday after work was mostly focused on harvesting. I mentioned I repaired our redwood base and turned it into a farming area so I went about gathering wood with the mammoth (about 100k of wood), gathering CP (only about half a vault that was almost immediately used), and fiber. With 3x i also did my first hatching of Argy's and got a female with the combined stats of 4088 hp, 1400 stam, 800 weight. this would allow me to raise it and then breed it with the male that has 431 un-mutated melee and try to get all the stats together. I woke up Sunday and hatched 38 Quetzal, 16 Yuty, 2 Megalosaurus', and bred 6 female deer. I kept 2 Quetzal's, 1 Yuty, 2 Megalosaurus', and 3 Deer. I got twin male and female Quetzal's and was fortunate to receive my next weight mute; I checked back on when I got the 1680 and it looks like just shy of 3 months. If that rate stays consistent it'll take me a little over 2 years to reach 2k hatch weight. I hope it bumps up. Lol. I kept a Yuty that finally pulled the blue limbs on the blue body, yellow crested breed with the stats. I love the look. It is female so now I just need to get a breeding pair. The Megalosaurus' hatch with 9.8k hp and 378 melee. They will be for the Rockwell fight so it seemed like the perfect time to raise them. They are so powerful at night. i was running around the preserve to start getting some levels on them (looks like they should go to 25k hp rest melee) and they were decimating everything I came across. We have a 108 armored saddle bp for them too so these things should wreck shop. The deer kept were all females so they will be added to the breeding pool. 2 were born with the 2640 hp and the third was born with 2640 hp and 378 melee. I did get a male as well and it had an awesome red mute (only food) Antler but it didn't get the good stats so it had to go. I need a male with the hp and melee so I can guarantee that at least. I'll breed the melee male with all the hp females and keep breeding the hp male with the tamed females. I passed on hatching Theri's and Rex's and Tek Rex's but did take the opportunity of the reduced cool down to build up an egg cache. This weekend coming up is my 4 day plus the company is shutting down operations from July 2nd to July 8th so I have an extended break so I'll focus on Theri's, Quetzal's, Yuty's, and Argy's as well as the Deer again. If we can get some more Megalosaurus' eggs I'll do 2 more of them as well. I considered doing a Giga since I have 10 days off but nah. lol. I also got out and took advantage of the 3x taming to try and add to my stats lines though I failed to go after a Quetzal. I always seem to forget on that and I want higher stamina for my line. I'll remember one of these taming events. 2x taming this weekend so maybe i'll set aside some time to farm Quetz for a bit. i did knock out and tame several Yuty's and argy's though. I built a 3rd Yuty trap but after the event. it is in this cave area by a Yuty spawn in murder snow. 3 points of entrance so I placed dino gates on 2 of them as well as door frames to shoot through and just completely blocked the other entrance. I should have done it during the event but kept forgetting to make the pieces and take them with me when hunting. None of the Yuty's tamed had any stats to add to my lines but I did keep one that was a 150 Arkeology event color scheme. it had decent pre-tame stamina but without kibble and since i found it after the event it tamed out with horrific stats. I'll go outside my norm and breed my stats into it. i really want to pull the white crest and tail and combine it with my blue body there more then anything. I also knocked out a gang of Argy's but only kept 2. One was a 140 that had 36 points pre-tame in weight. It ended with 784 but is a female so I'll add her to the breeding pool. The other was a 150 last night. She had 28 points in hp and 31 in melee but again it did not add anything. I will add her to the breeding pool as well. We also took advantage of the 3x for leveling. We took over 16 Theri's to the island server and grinded and slaughtered low level Wyvern's to get them all to 21k hp, 700+ melee. We are currently building up our veggie cake supply and finishing up a few more Theri's and then we will give beta Dragon another go. In that end most of the harvesting I did went to making Theri saddles. I made something like 38 of them using my buddies crafting character and we got some nice rolls. It's a 90 armor MC BP and we got several that are 110 armor plus. I also ran the Carno I finished last week through the swamp cave to get him leveled and what a beast. I already had him at 8k hp with a 112 armor saddle so I dumped everything else into melee (he hatches with 1620 stamina which makes a huge difference) and he is just shy of 800 melee now. I am 3 shotting the level 250 spiders with him. With the 700+ melee Vulture on my shoulder to help combat as well, the swamp cave is getting a lot easier with that set up. With all of this that I did I also ended up getting to level 106. Now I need that beta tek cave to get the next levels. It seems like my last tribe mate has officially quit as he hasn't been on for over a week and I see he is playing other games. I think the crazy hatching weekend on Ab where he ended up being mostly by himself was too much for him. As with my first tribe mate, he is in the tribe and welcomed back whenever he wants if he wants. I will be culling some of his excess dino's though. Luckily I have teleporter's and spawn points at the bases so keeping the areas I actually use will be easy. I do see pillars despawn in the tribe log that he must of placed but no worries to me because it means I have no use for that area. Each of the area's I need I visit almost daily so refresh timers are never a problem. He normally runs the Yuty but I have no problem doing that and controlling my dino's in the fight so that looks to be the new way going forward. It does give me confidence that I may be able to run a solo fight since i don't seem to have too many issues with whistle commands and arena movement. As an alliance we often finish with plenty of time so while it may be cut close in time I think my dino's can get the job done. Happy arking. Thanks for reading. Until next week (10 days off probably 2 weeks).

  4. Hello, The best loot crate I ever had. I found two blueprints both Ascendant. 216% Pump action shotgun. 237% Fabricated sniper. Both in the same crate. I also found better gear during the event than I had before but durability seam to be lower. I thought durability and damage did not effect each other but maybe they do. I am happy with the higher gear and saddle bp I got from the event so far. Regards, Ariana

  5. Aberration Did many things in the Last Week The Boat was finished and directly tested at a Level 5 Crab. Tamed the crab without Problems. It was Level 6 after taming ;). Tamed a few Stegosaurus cause they fell in my Base. Tried to tame a Paracer which fell in my base too. My kid blocked him with a spino between the Spino and the Crabs. But after 10 Shots he disappeared. Never saw that happen. I like to have Equus so i set up a medium Crop Plot with Carrots. The next Day on the way to Metal i saw a Level 10 Equus. Almost white. Glowing like hell. So i jumped back to base, grab the carrot and jumped back. Never tamed an Equus on official Server on 1x. Feels like Forever. But i tamed the little Jumper nicely with 99,9 efficiency. After i came back from equus bringing to his new home i didnt make it to the Metal Spot. This time a bright White Level 90 Equus of the opposite Sex was waiting for me. Same procedure, jumping back to base and grab all the Carrots. This time taming really feels like forever. About 25 Minutes or so. Luckily i had my crab on follow. At 51% taming the Equus got stuck on one of the Crabs legs. He couldnt move anymore, only circling. This made the last 49% taming easy cause the spot was save from aggressive dinos. Brought him back. The Equus got nice places next to my Stegos. Finally i had more storage capacity to store chitin and stone. Faster Cementing Paste making as with Mortar ´n Pestle. Go again on the Taming boat and found a Level 90 Male Spino. Tamed him with Mutton. Now i have a better breedable pair. None of them has Melee higher then 250%. But it is something to start with. First i paired my Level 150 female Spino with the Level 50 male Spino. These 2 Eggs i breed at Weekend. The 3x Weekend Weekend was crazy. Whenever i could i go Metal farming, still living on the green Biome and have not much Metal. But Prime Target was taming and breeding. I used the Boat and tamed 3 Crabs. Tamed whatever came along the way. So a Level 35,45 and 55 crab i tamed. One of them i will transfer to Ragnarok. Rest is for Decoration of the Base. They will all get only Points in Weight. At the River i live i tamed 5 Carbonemys. Need the Carbo Eggs for Kibble. Now i got 5 female and 2 male Carbos. But they dont lay many eggs. So i will tame more Carbos in Future. I tried to tame a 150 Spino but a Crab got behind me and take me with her Claw from my Boat. Smashed me hard to Death. Tried to Tame a White Level 10 Crab, a Sarco followed the Crab into the Taming cage and killed the Crab. I tamed the damn Sarco then. Level 80 Sarco male, so no use for me at the Moment. I found a Brown Equus with black stripes, Level 20.After it another White Equus Level 30. With the 4 Equus i started breeding. Level 90 Male and the 3 low level female. All 3 Babys are white with Black Stripes. But they look really nice. Next day i found the Next brown Equus and another White. One time i saw a red Equus, but it was to close to the Path from green to blue Biome. Everywhere aggressive Dinos. I Hope i found him on another Place again. The Player i traded with a few times offered me a Level 90 Rock Drake for 5k Crystal. My Kid helped me. Both of us took a Crab and we carried the Ankylo. It was 1 or 2 Hours on 3x to get the Crystal. Finally i have something to get more Rock Drake Eggs. Built 2 Hazard Suits. Hoping to get some Eggs on next Weekend. But first i must build a Breed Chamber. Then i started Breeding the 2 Spino Eggs i got from the Low level Male and Medium female. The First Egg was a green Level 95 male ( both Parents are green). Nothing Special. He will stay in base forever i think. But the next Spino baby shocked me. He is completely Magenta. 2nd Egg and i got a Color Mutation I thought i could handle more breeding, so i paired the Doedi i tamed with Level 135 and the doedi which was 20. A nice white Level 60 Doedi came along. Then i breed 6 Feathelight Eggs. These Eggs are from the pair i bought on Ragnarok. From the 6 Eggs i got 7 Featherlight. The Lowest was Level 205. Except one they look all like their Parents. Purple or Red. Only One got nice Orange Feathers. I take him and make another few Eggs with him. 2 Lystro females fell from above in my base. So i tamed them. Free Lystro Eggs. At looking for more Crabs i saw a Level 90 Bear. Lured him to the Boat, drive back to base and get the flintlock. Every time i use Xbow a Dire Bear dies. Till now it is the only Dino/Pet i tame with the gun on Aberration. For all Other i use my green 140% Xbow. Tamed him with Mutton. He gets more Berrys then my Stegos, so i will use him in Future for Berry Gathering. The Bear looks Nice with Glowing Red Stripes. A few hours later i found on the Same spot a Level 40 female Dire Bear with white stripes. Lured and tamed her too. I Dont think i will breed them, but they look so nice together. On Sunday it was chaotic in my base. I crafted 10 more Troughs and placed them in the Middle of my base. Then organized all Dinos. On 1 Side alle Spinos. On the Other Side all Turtles, the diplodocus and all 5 Crabs. Now there is a path again to my House. Farmed more metal and built a Industrial Forge. Still thinking about where to place the Forge. I leveld up to 82 and could finally build the chemistry Bench. Expanded my building on 1 side for 1 length and 3 wide. There i placed the Chemistry Bench and a Vault. Vault building is really easyon Aberration. 1 Crab and a Metal Axe and u get 150 organic Poly. If u use the Chanisaw you get more. Used the Bench and crafted more Narcotic and Cementing Paste. I Could make an fert. Egg with the full grown Magenta Spino called Pinky and the highest male i got. Breed him directly. But a full green Level 106 Spino was the Baby. Another Spino which will stay in Base. 3x Weekend was a full success for me, got a nice color mutation and all the things to go down in the radiation zone. Now i will be a bit slower and built a place for the Forge and a big breeding house with at least 1 Behemoth Door for breeding Spinos.

  6. It's nice that WC is recognising raft spam as against the rules now, but are we still completely ignoring tame cap issues? Rafts aren't causing servers to cap out as fast as they are, its people holding dinos on multiple servers they don't play on. Spamming tames only makes uploading your tames for a slot difficult, doesn't fix the fact you have to upload just to tame something you need. You brought out more servers and within days they were capped, how are we expected to keep playing like this? Just wait for Extinction to come out so people will move a few tames off i suppose. It was lovely that you gave us a 3x event, but as soon as it hit my breeding server capped out leaving the rest of the weekend as a reconstruction of what happens on my main server. Waiting for a slot and trying to incubate eggs so i can sort out a dino line, having half the community scream at eachother because they want to mate. We're struggling here, WC. We can't all go unofficial or private, big tribes go down and within days we're capped again.

  7. Hello, I spent the past weekend getting ideas for building a big base to try my hand at breeding. Since I started playing I usually only build small 3X3X3 bases and I didn't have electricity so I'm in river city comms. Thanks to the 3X event I leveled up alott from crafting tons of gunpowder and narcotics. Then once my generator was up and going I crafted up 20 air conditioners, 2 fridges, and just last night I made 2 vaults with the last of my poly. It's been great playing Ark since I started and I'm excited to expand my home and make a breeding room to see what better stat dino's I get. I'm playing on xbox one official pvp/pve, but I'm prefering pve now since I'm not worried about being raided.

  8. We live in the Viking Bay on our server - my mission tonight is to do exactly that although my mission will involve kiting the angler into a trap on the ocean floor. There is a 150 male angler as north as you can get but in line with the entrance to Viking Bay - we have a Plesi/Mosa trap on the ocean floor when it first goes deep and flat out of the bay. Last night I made up the materials for the trap - stone foundations, stone doorways, stone ceilings and a stone dino gateway/gate and made sure we had the required kibble. Tonight my mission is to top up metal to make up harpoon bolts, build the trap and kite the angler over to tame.

  9. Started out today doing some gathering and got our base to 2 walls high so large storage boxes dont stick out. Started looking for a thorny dragon because it just sucks gathering wood by hand. Didnt find a dragon but spotted a 210 raptor stuck along with a 37. I carefully took out the 37 then we tranqed the 210, threw meat on it and continued gathering. While gathering I got an ascendent sickle bp from a dig site which will be great until we tame a mega sloth. Next we crafted up some tranq arrows and narcotics and decided to try and tame a nearby lvl 52 parcer for a pack mule, but realized when it was completly bloody that I was shooting stone arrows and not tranqs So we killed it and used the meat to start making jerky. Before logging we spotted a 134 event parasaur (all white) so we tranqed it and tamed it. We need to start looking for a better base location. While this area has plenty of stone, sand, and cactus sap and is fairly safe, it has very few trees which really slows building. So tomorrow we may hop on the raptors and scout out a new spot thats still somewhat close to the red obelisk while also continuing to hunt for a thorny dragon and a good pair of carnos or sloths. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a chainsaw in a drop in the process

  12. PS4 - Ragnarok - Single Player So after finally finding a work around for the Private server that keeps making my dinos and structures unaccessible by my character, I was able to "givetome" my dinos that I wanted to keep. I then spent the majority of the time transferring them back to my single player game. However ONCE AGAIN, I had dinos disappear when I tried to download them. They would show in the list, I would download them, but they were no where to be found. I learn long time ago, to only download one dino at a time, so this is not a case of one dino stuck inside another. OF course the dino I lost was a beautiful 150 level Argy with Green Bay Packer colors. FML! Eventually, I got out and decided to finally tame an Angler fish. Finally, I came across two, and without even spyglassing for their levels, I decided to just start tranqing them both. As Anglers like to do, they soon scattered and were running away from me. I focused on one, and followed him, I finally got him to start swimming up towards the surface, and away from any potential baddies. Finally many, many arrows later he KO'd and I was elated to see he was a level 140! With the Angler knocked out in a safe spot, I waited out the starve time and then filled him with raw mutton. Thank goodness I brought 5 air tanks with, because he took forever, but he woke up at level 209. His health was very low, so I quickly took him and the other water dinos back to the Navy base, and put my healing pig into action, while leveling up his health, and melee. Tonight I will begin the long trip from the NE corner of the RAG, over to the Viking Bay pearl cave. Looking forward to trying out this guy on pearls.

  13. This is actually a fact, as I'm one of these players. It's beyond disheartening to see the developers have abandoned their past promises that would have actually made this game enjoyable again. The bugs are insurmountable and the gameplay has become stale. The design and lack of content is forcing this game into near Extinction like the dinosaurs it uses. Maybe it's time to give the community what you promised and has been asked for since you officially released you'd implement the alleged ten mods a month you pay for to help be designed. Your interest base is in those, not the work you all have been doing. You speak of quality of life changes, then give the quality begged for time and time again. Help the modders, if you're actually capable of doing so with what seems to be a limited coding knowledge you are portraying. Or are you seriously thinking that working on ark 2, as said in a recent interview will actually work out for you with your fan base dying from the false promises to keep people around and depressingly inaffective content updates.

  21. Thanks xRowCat ! That are 3 awesome costumes ! Please keep doing other creatures and share them with WC ! If they could add to the game more skins like that it would be great! As a console player I would even pay for such wonderful skins !
