That cave has 5 entrances and is massive. Loads of fun to get lost or trapped in lol. Lots of things that hurt live there. I use that pearl tunnel myself for for my runs. I tske a Basili, flippers, tek helm and a stack of element, but have done it with multiple tanks in the earlier days. Nitrado - gameoftames - ragnarok Minimal game time still cause of the summer and work. It's almost a chore to keep the critters fed. The cluster is rather active now across all the maps too and I'm missing out lol. Such is life. Everyone's tales of the ark keep things fresh

Today just enjoying the map moving from place to place, Ragnarok map is super huge in total, but when visiting biome to biome, each biome seems kinda small-ish. Also checking how people build their bases, some really are creative, some are dino hoarders, and some are really ambitious. A super huge base is always fascinating to me, sometimes beside dinoes that are common for boss fighting, it also has uncommon bred of dinoes in large number. Kinda see how some people really have invested too much times breeding for boss but still have time for breeding other dinoes as well, I stumbled upon a base that has those, and on top of that, the base is super super huge like maybe 60x60, half finished, already in half-full metal foundations and still 4 metal walls high. The foundations alone are more or less 3600, were in stones but damn still being replaced by metal. That's really something. 3600 metal stone foundations alone are time consuming to make, redo that with metal lol, that's equal to 288,000 stones in 64 storage boxes @4500. For comparison, my base is 16x16 and the total area that I use is probably 50x50 with the yard. I think I only use 25 storage boxes full of stones for building my base and finished it in 2 weeks. I did it solo though, I bet that base is built by large group of people.

I took the same stuff minus the tek helm. Still need to murder the bosses. Nervous about the Manticore not wanting land. I only know of two entraces and one that was a deadend, care to tell where the others are? Been working alot lately also, but mostly me and my wife play. Didn't get much done today other than taming a 140 white frog, gathering some rare mushrooms in the swamp and getting kapro'ed about 7 or 8 times. Oh andd found BP for an Ascendant Longneck with 700% dmg that is impossible to make. Only needs a luttle over 23,000 metal!

Lol I cooooould tell you but then it's spoiling all the fuuuuun. ? There's 2 water entrances from that same pearl tunnel, one on the north cliffs east of Viking bay, one in or around the castle, and lastly the swamp. Yaaaaaaaaasssss

This time it was just a quick one, didnt get distracted tonight lol. Tonight I went out on an adventure to the Carnivorous Caverns on thylo-back to grab the two artifacts found there. Went in from the northern entrance and my goodness I forgot how dark it was there, am glad I waited till I got a bulbdog. Dodged the megalosaurus taking out the occasional one I woke up and the megalania didnt seem to mind me much which was great because I forgot they spawned there and I was paranoid about megarabies. Eventually found my way to the artifact of the cunning and finally to the artifact of the immune and went back to base. Installed them into the breeding barn as well as the other two I had. Now have the immune, cunning, strong and brute. The only other one I have a chance at getting solo will the the devourer but I need to start taming water tames for that first. As for the other artifacts I doubt I could do the ice cave, jungle dungeon and lifes labyrinth solo. Even as a group I dont look forward to the labyrinth but I am getting ahead of myself lol.

*Sigh* I was hoping for a short play on Ark tonight as you know, long day at work and probably just as long tommorow, but of course there isnt just a quick nip onto Ark lol. Decided that I really needed to tame a theri so I went out for a quick look on the wyvern. Could do with the theri for the fiber collection (this ascendant thylo saddle wont make itself and thats a lot of fiber) as well as for breeding. Barely made it over the base walls and I spotted a drop dead gorgeous event blue 135 female rex, so of course I had to tame that. Levels a bit lower than I am aiming for but at the very least it would be a good breeder just for the colour and also it would give me a female as an egg layer for rex kibble. So I kited it all the way down the valley to my rex trap on my wyvern and knocked it out. Of course I used all of my scorpion kibble on the last rex and the scorpion in the kibble barn really needs to start pulling its weight in there, so mutton from the highlands it was. Tamed up the rex and took it back to base. The stats aren't great. The hp is just god awful but at least the stam and melee is higher than the male. But isnt she just gorgeous, love the blue body and dark blue back although not sold on the purple underneath. Am going to say its just as good a colour as the easter coloured one I tamed on the last server I was on. Love anything blue or cyan. Then a quick scout around the theri spawns that I know about. Nothing too special just low levels. Even risked the area around blue ob but didnt hang around long incase a dashboard struck. Just as I thought about logging of for the night I find the dream 150 strolling along the canyon floor near my base. So I picked it up, took it back to the taming pen at my base and tamed it up. Thank goodness it only took 30 minutes on the boosted rates, although still longer than I was hoping for tonight. Did a quick fiber run on the new theri and crafted up the ascendant thylo saddle and saddled up my imprinted thylo with it before logging off.

Aye, great job on making SE easy enough for every idiot to play on. They're capped too now. Very great job. You know, some of us happily took the challenge of it being harder for the benefit of having a server where taming and breeding was still possible. We never had any problems with the environment, we EMBRACED it. It was the only thing that kept SE servers alive and healthy. Just fyi, one week after the change, they were already capped and dying just like the rest. What's next? Will you just allow all creatures on Aberration so we can cap these too and destroy the VERY last sanctuary to make ARK COMPLETELY pointless for PvE players?

Xbox - Player Dedi. - Ragnarok Played a little over the past week and accomplished a good bit. Tamed a 145 Basil. and leveled it some while doing some exploration and gathering biotoxin. Killed a Alpha Mosa (which was quite scary) and an alpha mega. Then went to viking bay and got some black pearls and explored the underwater tunnel, which is HUGE! A great place to safely get loads of pearls. I think one branch opens up into a cave on labd somewhere! Then I made some vaults, gathered a good bit of metal, made a bunch of gunpowdee for upcoming cave explorations. Can't wait even though Life's Labyrinth is going to be a pain!

Its great to finaly get the base move finished, can finally start doing stuff again. I took full advantage of the recently completed kibble farm and raised up myself a fully imprinted thylo and bary. Saddled them both up with journeyman saddles, I had a premade thylo saddle out a drop and I crafted up the bary saddle from a bp I had. Noticed a 145 male rex down in the green ob valley, so I rushed to assemble a rex pitfall trap in the valley below my base. Once completed, I lured the rex into the trap with my new thylo, downed the thing and tamed it. My first rex tame of this server, about time lol ! Towed the thing back to base. Had a few hiccups with a microraptor and the flock of wild argies did a real number on the rex with out a saddle on it, lost quiet a bit of health, but got it back all the same. I really need to find out if the new trap can deal with gigas, I guess thats the next project for when one spawns in the valley. Went out on the wyvern exploring the drops in the ice cave and desert. The ice cave drops were just awful but I had more luck with the desert ones. Got not one but two ascendant giga saddles (if only I had gigas to stick them on), some fur gear/bp and more ascendant riot. Struck lucky with a ringed red drop and got an ascendant thylo saddle bp, cant wait to craft it up and put it on the new thylo. Took a chainsaw for a spin as I had it on good authority it was good for collecting hide and oh my goodness what have I been missing all this time lol. Sooooo much hide, I really need to get a good bp, currently running around with a primitive and it doesnt last lol.

There are two in game solutions I can think of; 1: when trying to tame a dino, just knock it out, then use cheat dotame. This allows you to go through the work of knocking out a dino (the only fun part of taming anyway) and dotame tames it but you still need a saddle to ride. 2. The other solution is to put troughs down and fill those up to keep everything topped up. You can also use trek troughs and edit spoil timers to prevent all the food from decomposing. All it takes to fill them up is a small amount of time and a few admin commands hope this helps?

are you gonna fix fliers AI in SE manticore arena?

Currently no, but I may make that visible in the future.

Well I logged in and lagged out for about 5 minutes, then rubber-banded all over the place so I quit and went to work where it's less stressful.

Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! Extinction Chronicles III Next Week! On August 14th Extinction Chronicles III will be released on all platforms. As usual survivors can expect a new tek dino, new Explorer Notes, a new cosmetic, increased level cap, and special colored dinos on all ARKs! Developer Diaries! Today we'd like to bring you a new section of the Crunch called Developer Diaries. In this section we'll speak to some of the changes the ARK has gone through. This weeks diary entry is brought to you by Lead Programmer, Chris Willoughby, as he talks about the changes that were recently made to Scorched Earth. ARK Digest Making A Return! Survivors! It's been quite a while since we've done a question and answer session, but the ARK Digest will be making a come back! Our goal is to bring the Digest back about once a month with the first being on August 20th. If you have a question you want answered by the ARK dev team please submit your questions with the Subject "ARK Q&A" to our email address: arkfans@studiowildcard.com Community Livestream Round-Up! On August 2nd we had our fifth Community Livestream. Thank you to all of those who attended and participated! The community team had a lot of fun and we hope you did as well. If you weren't able to catch the stream you can watch the video-on-demand on our Twitch page or by clicking on the video below. For this weeks stream ZenRowe and I were joined by the developer of Genesis and some of the members of RPFirst and TwitchRP. Map developer Peoples Gaming gave us an expansive tour of what he has built in his cyberpunk adventure world. Ravage and Tess taught us all about RP and the history of ARK and roleplaying, and how RP is conducted on their Genesis server. We learned there is an uprising, a police cult that locks people in jail, and an orphanage of people selling potentially illegal substances! It was an exciting tour unlike any other. If you're interested in ARK roleplay definitely check out RPFirst and TwitchRP or start your own roleplaying server! We are accepting any type of ARK related fanart to be featured in the Showcase section of the stream and entries are always open. This can be drawings, videos, builds, ANSEL screenshots, handmade crafts, anything ARK related! You can submit your ARKwork to our streaming email address: arkfans@studiowildcard.com Be sure to follow us on our Twitch page so you don't miss a stream! twitch.tv/survivetheark We'll be hosting our next Community Live Stream on Thursday, August the 16th! We hope to see you there Mod Community Updates! It's ZenRowe here with another modding tutorial for everyone! This one is a bit different in that it's also a bit of a warning about a particular feature that, if used incorrectly, can have some consequences that are difficult to get a handle on. On the other hand, these CDOs can be really handy for making some class information and functions globally accessible. Happy modding! ARK: Evolution Event+! Survivors across ALL Platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from Friday the 10th of August at 1 PM EST until Monday the 13th of August at 3 PM EST. All Official Servers across each platform will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes: 2x Harvesting Rates 2x Taming Rates 2x EXP Rates 2x Maturation Rates 2x Mating & Egg Hatching Rates 2x Faster Mating Interval That's it for this post guys!
