We played yesterday but I dont think we accomplished anything, lol. We did log off in tek sleeping pods and by this morning my wife hit lvl 97 so she could build a quetz platform, so this morning we threw together a quick quetz trap and headed out for that 195 female quetz. Found it almost at carno island and it was almost all black (and almost the complete opposite side of the map from our base and a very, very long trip on a quetz, lol) So I landed to top off stam and after a few attempts trapped it and tranqed it. It tamed out and I only had 5 minutes before I had to leave for work so we found a realitivly safe spot and logged out. On my lunch break we flew back. The quetz stood up at lvl 292 with 10.2k hp, 2400 stam, 1520 weight, and 401.6% melee. I plan on just lvling a little stam and the rest weight for heavy hauling. Tomorrow we will probably finish the water pen and maybe finally finish the wall around the base, lol

Logged in yesterday did my obligatory o/ wave and someone on the server was asking for help. They were stuck in the viking bay castle and needed me to come with a torch. "Im just a beach bob" I said "How can I help you?!". Ended up flying to the castle with an extra torch, finding all the spawns cleared. Ran down to help buddy and helped him get his body back. As I left I decided to fly down and grab a few plant x since im at the castle, bad idea. Ripped off by a Kapro, bit by a sarco and stunlocked to death by a Bary My brand new 150 ptera I worked all day for yesterday, dead. I pronounced in chat that I died after helping him, he mustve felt bad because he told me to come by his base. I had no other good tames and my boat was in Highlands, so i warped to my blue shack and took my trusty level 20 parasaur to this farmville dudes' base. He proceeded to offer me various breeds and etc, not wanting free stuff I only asked for a flier. He bred up an Argy for me, gave me meat and I claimed the hatch. I raised it in his base (lol @ super mature times ) Had to go AFK for a bit whilist raising and mustve died. My only other tame in his base. I already lost all my stuff last death so I was determined to try and get my para back. Luckily for me his base was poorly designed (he logged off) and i was able to slip in abd get my para and my newly raised Argy. Flew them back to my base and logged for the night

@SeaRex Very cool that both you and your father enjoy this game. I know there are some other folks on t his thread that play with siblings or spouses, and I think that is great. I personally have no interest in playing on a public server because of the troll/griefers, but I wish I could convince a couple of my friends to play the game on a private server. I am the only one without kids, so they don't have time to game, because they are constantly running from kids event to kids practice, etc.

Honestly cant do it anymore. The crashing is too much and getting worse. As much as it pains me I am deciding to up sticks and move my main base of operations away from nearby blue obelisk with the aim of moving as far away as possible from crash central. Hopefully itll just be a temporary move until that area is fixed.... not holding my breath... Still going to keep the base there for the green house, kibble barn and of course the water pen. It was so pretty and I put so much effort into it.... So I crafted up a shed load of building materials ready to put down once I have chosen a location. What I wouldnt give for S+ to pick up some parts of the build lol Decided not to go with the desert out post as my main base as it doesnt really have what I am looking for. Took the fire wyvern out exploring for a new place to settling down. I am wanting to set up some where central, relatively safe and with good access to the basic building materials such as wood and stone. Not a big fan of the redwoods, want to avoid the desert, and I didnt want to set up too near any wild wyverns, rock golems or gigas lol. Ideal location would be between green ob and the lesser of the snow biomes. I do like my temperate biomes lol. Of course all the usuall spots are taken but eventually I found a potential location near the bridge across the central canyons, at the head of the green obelisk valley. So I cleared out the location and marked out some potential main buildings with thatch foundations. Had to resort to using some cliff platforms to flatten out and expand some of the areas. Still not quiet happy with the orientation of the potential house but that will need further work. Marked out two stables, hoped one of them would be the new breeding barn but I need more space for it, probably going to be slightly down the hill. Thats all I could be bothered doing for the night.

Lol nice Thing was waaay closer than ive seen any squid, i thought it was tamed with how close to a base it was. Until I saw the glow.. i was going to swim down and see who owns it, glad I didnt lol

PS4 - Private Server - Ragnarok After a long stressful day of work, I was looking forward to getting onto the ARK. Logged in and flew over to my Ravager breeding pen, found a purple spine baby and a green-brown baby (all of my breeders are Grey with black spine) The rest of the babies got killed as no color mutations. I then flew around looking for even dinos. Saw a beautiful 145 Argent female and knocked her out. While she was taming, I saw a Green and Yellow Allo mixed in with another two allos, and the green/yellow one was the pack leader! I got closer and was saddened to see that it was only a level 45, with the others being 15 and 25. What a disappointment. Took the Argent back to base, but along the way, I noticed a golden 145 Griffin, so I made a note for later. Got back to base, and crafted up dino gate, pillars and ceilings to make a griffin trap. Flew back and found a good location to build it near multiple Griffin spawns. Ended up taming the golden 145 and a level 135. Also grabbed a green colored low level as well. Eventually got back to my center of the map base, and started to breed my high level event colored Pteradons. I got four eggs, and from those eggs, I got 2 sets of triplets and 2 sets of twins! 10 babies out of 4 eggs. I was not expecting that, and on top of it, I got nearly all of the colors I wanted carried over from the parents. Imprinted them as best I could (didn't have all the kibbles needed) and distributed them amongst my bases/outposts for quick transport when needed. I still have nothing but primative saddles for the Pteras..... I've never gotten any blueprints for Pteras or Argies! Found a 120 tek Stego near by base, that I will probably tame up tonight, along with a red Slooth (low level however) Got back to my Viking bay base, and finally made the vaults I needed, Then spent the rest of the night transferring from wood cabinets to the vaults and organizing everything. I'll need to go on some metal, obsidian and poly runs next, to make up for all the resources I used.

ArkCrossCluster1 - Ragnarok Sooooo yesterday almost turned violent with a tribe that I haven't ever been bothered by. The leader is an idiot, as are most of the people in the tribe, but they provide decent entertainment in global chat. Anyways, one of their guys tried picking one of mine that was based near the lighthouse. Keep in mind, this server is usually pretty peaceful when it comes to tribe on tribe fighting. It's usually just solo raiders. Thankfully, the drop didn't kill my guy since he had a grappling hook so I was less mad than I otherwise would have been. I hopped on after work and talked to the Leader of their tribe, and asked how he wanted to proceed. He claimed that it was a mistake, and that he didn't condone the actions of the one guy. *Probably BS, but let's see where diplomacy takes us* And that if any items were lost, he'll happily replace them. I told him that nothing was lost, which is why he can still hear the hums of his generators. And that I can't allow my members to be harassed as though there are no consequences. He claimed over and over again that he wanted no problems with my tribe, as he's seen our bases on Rag and Center. I told him that the next time anything happens, we'll have War. *Additionally, I rushed over the the tribe member's small base and threw down 50 more auto turrets*

Xbox - Player Dedi - Ragnarok Didn't play for long but had a little adventure after gathering a bunch of metal. Went to Viking bay to gather some pearls from the cave. I had took my harpoon launcher with some tranq bolts. Glad I did, found a lvl 140 Megalodon and tamed it. Killed some sea scorpions and a few Basils on my Bary. Then realized I had nowhere to put my shark. I decided I would hide him in the cave under the lighthouse (Amazing location, too bad tthe water entrance is somewhat small) So went on the long journey of leading it back which I was dreading. Played the game on early access from the beginning and have hated the water since. In general I am a giant baby-wussy-wimp butt when it comes to the nightmare fuel deep in the ocean. After about 15 blood pumping minutes I made it there. Went back to my base somewhat nearby on my Bary, fast travlled to get my wyvern back to base then logged. I hate the water in this game so much, but I spotted a 145 Basil in a fairly safe spot off the highlands and am going to tame it next!

Finally got all the dinos on the kibble imprint list tamed up and in the kibble barn plus a few extra species such as the scorpion for taming rexes. Had an attempt at hatching out some colour mutated barys but no real luck. Got a health mutation which I kept. Only one colour mutation which was a lightish grey full body which i didnt keep. Finally lucked out on the thylo breding and got a breeding pair or white thylos with the good stats.

i like this post realy xD. So today i did my plans i found serveral high lvl wyvern eggs in scar at ragnarok. Sadly my lvl 147 Griffin died while i lagged in the scar but nevermind i got some good eggs. I keep them in my fridges so i can hatch them probably tomorrow ?. I also bought a wyvern for a good fair price of ingots and poly it was a 185 lightening wyvern with 40 lvls ready to pump. Then i did some meat runs and berrie runs and was warching for deep sea loot crats. Theyr spwan rate is so low but the reward if u finaly find one is epic like ascend. platform saddle of parace. or a 80 armor mosa i got both but was like 1h in ozean^^. I play on offical pve ragnarok. So tomorrow i plan hatching my owm wyvern.

Moved my stuff to my new base SE off redwood forest. Tried to get my trap raft there, got stuck on the LAST narrow/shallow part before i had open water to my base. Decided to build a trap close to my base. Just finished it and spotted a lvl 120 rex across the river. Lured it in and tranqed it. Waitet about 30min then collected some prime meat and just when i was putting the meat in his inventory, a Therizino ran in to my trap (ramps on the outside) and killed the rex while hitting me. Jumped on my argy and wrecked him. Was about to log off when there was a pink rex across the water. It was only a lvl 50, but she is mine now.

Got a little time yesterday, furnished my boat and gathered up supplies for an expedition to the Highlands. Once there (after passing many laggy bases!) I found a nice beach to shore on and took off on foot in search of a high level ptera and some sheep for easy mutton. Right off the beach there was a level 50 purple trike, knocked it out and set to tame as I explored. I was near the highland cave when I saw a giga in the distance. It wasnt moving so I figured it was tamed.. yeah no. I evaded it onto a beached dolphin i tamed that was glitched in the river. Found a 150 ptera, knocked it out and tamed it. Went back to the boat and made up a saddle, threw my purple trike on my boat, parked the ptera and logged off for the night. Theres an alpha squid (near the surface??) Near my boat, a little freaky but I figured im safe for the night.

Hahah. Just my noob shack until I can get some tangible time to play

Yeah I am Northern Explorer. Glad I could offer you a safe place to crash lol. I found your starter shack by blue ob last night. That area is so bad lol last couple of nights been dashboarding multiple times and last night was the final straw for me. Was getting to point I could actually tell a crash was coming.

I started a dedicated server with my dad yesterday on the Center. We started on Tropical Island South. We've got the S+ mod, the Upgrade Station mod, Better Narcotics and Tranq Arrows Combined, and of course Classic Flyers. So we started, got a thatch base (with no walls, because my dad was the one building this time and he doesn't like to bother with walls (a mistake, as it later turned out?)), and a dilo and a dodo, both tamed by me. We (I) tamed two Parasaurs while my dad was building the base, so after he finished we went on our Paras to get some metal from inland. We were then jumped by raptors, me forgetting the new ability Parasaurs have to scare them away. My dad died, and I was still quite close to the base so luckily our dilo heard my cries for help and came over and killed the raptor! The Parasaur was on passive for some reason, so it just watched as I was mauled. So we ended up getting metal, returning to base, crafting an upgrade station, blah blah blah. I think ark decided our life was a bit too easy so it spawned two rexes right up the beach from us. I tried to kite the closer one up the beach away from the base, and tried shooting it with my apprentice bow, but it just stuck around. Until I walked right up to it and hit it with my hatchet while it roared. My sprint speed was faster than it, but not my walk speed. Luckily I was being attacked by Meganeura before and had put about 60 stimberries in my hotbar. I ate these while running up the beach, until... I ran out of stimberries. Long story short, the Rex killed me. I respawned at the base and ran all the way back to grab my stuff. I got it, and as a bonus, the Rex looked like it was staying there! So I got some narcotics from our base and went off to tame a trike. My dad was off on his Parasaur getting more metal, so our base was unguarded. As I was shooting the Trike, I saw red messages flash across the screen. Your Parasaur (Parasaur) was killed by a Rex (Lvl 5)! or something like that. Same with the dodo and the dilo. So I ran away from the trike that was attacking me and rushed back in time to see the Rex chomping on our thatch foundations. It destroyed the storage boxes, which my dad replaced. I kited it for the second time up the beach and away from our beach. After that I went back to KO a trike. So I knocked him out without a hassle, and then tamed him and saddled him without a hassle, and then brought him back to base without a hassle. Oh yeah, by this point my dad had tamed a Pteranodon. We were in need of hide for building our massive spike wall to keep out the rexes. So I hopped on the Trike and killed an iguanodon and a chalico. By now it was dusk, and I needed to go back to base. Then I saw another Chalico, and thought about all the extra hide he would give. This guy was much higher level than the past one, and I knew I would win, but it would take longer than expected. So as I was killing him, somehow another iguanodon was brought into the fight. I said to myself, ok, I can deal with this, but it will be a bit close. My trike was on about half health and the chalico was dead, so I thought I was safe. Wrong. Then came the troodons. About 6 or 7 of them, they ripped apart my trike and I dipped. Turns out Troodon are faster than humans! Yay. So they got to me and killed me, I respawned, they found their way to our base and killed all our animals, including the Ptero and the Para. Fun times. So me and my dad got our stuff back, most notably our journeyman bows, so we killed a couple of troodons each. After two, one bit me and immediately knocked me out, but luckily my dad forcefed me stimberries so I was fine. After that, we finished the spike wall and I tamed a nice purple Pteranodon. I was grinding XP for the saddle when my dad suggested we kill the bronto that was near our base for hide. I killed it with my now ascendant bow after it walked into the spike wall. Then the Rex came back. It started munching on the brontos around our base. I crafted a tranq arrow with 10 times the punch of a normal tranq arrow, and with my 450% damage bow, knocked it out in one shot. Unfortunately, it must have accidentally aggroed a dimorphodon because the little scumbag took off a lot of the taming effectiveness before I realized. I then flew on my Ptero over to where there were some Terror Birds. I bola'd one and tranqed it, tamed it, saddled it and brought it back to base, then we logged.

Maybe we can play on the island in the dark/fog/rain with an owl. I just go to another map when that crap happens. Which is every time it’s night time basically.

Not a dino but at least a creature inspired by a real one ! Finally something interesting for Extinction !

im new here and post now randomly what i did yesterday cz i kinda like this discussion^^. The day just start now and im going to play ark later too. So yesterday (pc) i did some metal runs. And one big obsidian run with servereal argys to obsidian cave at vulcano (rag). Tamed a low lvl quetz then build a quetz catcher. Then i helped an ally. And i crafted some vaults and sorted stuff so its more easy to find later. Today ill probably look for wyvern eggs

doing a beaver dam run. saw a purple drop so flew to the drop on my wyvern, got the blueprint then on the way home got dashboarded!!!! Horror. shock. will i live. will i be dead from the fall. will i ever find the wyvern that will bugger off and not care about me? Woke up just outside the swamp area. somehow survived the fall. but it was night time. It had to be!! herd a roar from a rex behind me (prosumed it was behind as it wasnt infront and it sounded close). ran blindly in the dark to find somewhere to hide. ended up on top of a rock in the pitch black of night with just my sparkler for light! waited for day time whilst constantly whistling. ran about a bit. found the rex that was roaring at me being killed by about 8 raptors. out of blind luck found my wyvern hiding in the trees. Dont think ive ever been that happy to see the idiot. jumped on that great monster killed the rex and raptors, flew home and decided i was not leaving the site. ended up building a nice big 2 level bird house to store the flappers in, arranged the dinos so they all looked pretty and organised. Looked at the clock, realised it was 1.30 in the morning and had to be up at 5 for work! decided bed was the best option.

Xbox - Player Dedi. - Ragnarok Well, did quite a bit over the weekend. Most importantly, found my wife another otter after alot of searching, ironically wasn't really looking for one at that moment, we were looking for a Theri. Let me see... tamed a 130 Theri (pain in the butt) two high lvl Tek Stegos, a male and female lvl 140 Allo and a few Pachyrhinos. Also built a MASSIVE wall around me tree house base, probably took like 300 or so stone walls to complete. Sick of leaving base and coming back to my dinos in the group huddle of destruction. Oh, also poked around in the ice cave after getting oil and starred in an episode of When Bears Attack! Haha

Today was mostly a taming day, focusing on things we didnt have. Started off on SE for pegomax because they are everywhere. Came home with a pair. Brought them back to the island and decided it was time to tame a whale. S+ tek transmitter showed a lvl 90 nearby. So i throw on scuba, grab some lamb chops and hop on the barry. I find the whale, clear its manta pack and tame it without issue. Get it back to base and move on to the next thing. Next we decide to tame a low lvl female tickle chicken for kibble. Find one not far off, drop her in our metal pen and tame her. On our search for a male we spot a zebra white chalico. I had started a beer barrel a few weeks ago so I scooped her up and dropped her on our beach then grabbed the beer and tamed her. After we tamed her we tamed a low lvl all black monkey on the beach. We decided to tame a low lvl female oviraptor as our last tame. While it was taming a lol lvl pelagornis landed next to us so we 1 shot tranqed it and tamed it too. To finish the day we decided it was time to build a water pen and got it about 75% complete before logging. Its fully secure now all we need to do is level out the walls. This weeks plans are to finish the pen and continue taming dinos we dont have. If we get time we may finally breed our sharks too. Once we finally hit lvl 97 we also plan on building a quetz trap to tame that 195 quetz thats somewhere on the map, lol

Had no luck finding a good doed yesterday, but today i found a lvl 150 in the red forest. Had 50 tranq arrows on me, figured that would be anough. It wasnt. Flew back to base and got 96 more, found the doed again, made a pincushion out of it, think i only had 13 arrows left. Put spike walls around it with one opening, parked my argy and went afk for one minute to get something to eat. Got back to a death message by a terrorbird. Jumped on my ptera to race back, thought my argy was on passive but luckily it wasnt. The terrorbird cost me 20lvls on the doed, but i got it lvl 205

Made quiet a bit of progress today. Finally built the green house at my base, put that off for way too long. Installed all the piping and crop plots. Afterwards went off to the desert and tamed up two 145 dung beetles and took them back to base. Finally went back for the megalosaurus I saw not far from my base a few nights ago. To my surprise it turned out to be a male 135 blue event coloured dino. Lured it to the taming raft to tame up. Now I finally have a pair of megalosaurs to make the kibble for theris. Cant wait to tame a theri, I am fed up with harvesting fiber by hand lol. Tamed up more dinos for the kibble barn. Tamed up a pair of ankys and a pair of terrors birds as well as 1 male and 2 female dimetrodons. My goodness i forgot how quickly the dimet topor drained lol. Finished off by hunting deathworms in the desert. Trying to get to level 89 so I can build an industrial cooker, am so close. Must need to kill one or two more deathworms and I am there but I ran out of time tonight for that. Hopefully tommorow night.

We dont have rag on our cluster yet, but I have a decent tapa and my wife to help. We didnt have a ton of ambition today but we did decide to try to tame a low level quetz to use as a quetz trap. Found a lvl 62 male not far off and we managed to tranq it with ease and it landed in a safe spot. I threw down some dino gates to protect it and we stood guard till it tamed. Once it tamed we grabbed a 180 tek stego that was near our base and tamed it. Then we figured we should build a metal taming pen for thezio now that we had a quetz to carry them. I cleared out a spot with the bronto and we built a 5x5 pen. Then we did a scan for thezio and the nearest lvl 150+ was all the way across the map so we decided to pass on that for the day. Next we spotted a lvl 82 female quetz above our base. We were a few lvls shy of building a quetz platform so we went after it with the tapa again. We got it down and it landed right on top of a Purlovia Managed to kill the purlovia before it killed the quetz. We decided to tame the quetz anyways for kibble, even though it on gained 6 lvls. We got it back to base and decided to hop over to SE to feed dinos. Then we jumped on to Aberration to feed as well and then we logged off in the tek sleeping pods to hopefully gain the next few lvls before tomorrow. Our main plan tomorrow is to tame a 195 quetz thats near carno island, but only if we can get a high enough lvl to build the quetz platform so we can trap it. After that Im not sure what we will do, lol. Probably tame more dinos that we dont have to get to my goal of taming 1 of everything before extinction drops

Well, after the disaster on Aberration that was last night I hopped on a private server (the island) with my friend. In the past, our bases have usually been 2x3 or so, and having one or two bases around the map. This time though, we are making a 7x11 stone castle by Hidden Lake. It's the first time I've ever built by Hidden Lake and the first time I realized how perfect of a location it is! Close to metal at Frozen Tooth, Far's Peak and Winter's Mouth, Frozen Tooth and Far's Peak have obsidian, there's beaver dams, water, not many hostile animals, close to oil and pearls in the snow, close to crystal at Frozen Tooth, heck, it's even close to the snow for lategame tames like Yuty's and piggies! Also, we've never had time for the 3-4 hour tames for anything so we just put the taming rates at 30 or so. We're halfway through the game, like we have one rex and one spino, good Argies, etc. This time I'm thinking about starting to lower the taming rates to neccessitate kibble! That means a generator, more gasoline (which we usually use only for the fabricator) fridges, probably some aircons, and an electricity system in general. We've also never used stuff like industrial forges, grills, and stuff that requires mass amounts of metal, crystal, and polymer. We're also thinking about doing some cave runs this season!

So cool I play on mobile and I tried taming a megaledon but when got home with it other dinosaurs ? killed it.

Woke up naked in blue zone handcuffed...with no base left.
