Didnt go on the server today, did think about it for the evening but the update put pay to that idea. I did muck around on singleplayer for a bit earlier today to test out my plans for reaper taming, in otherwords checking if I can get a reaper queen to teleport safely up into the fallen nexus and out of the red zone. Started off by testing out what I could and could not do with a teleporter. Had visions of having the reaper and teleporter separated by a ceiling but nothing would teleport with that technique. I could however teleport a creature into a suspened ceiling with the teleporter below it. This way it keeps the teleporter (not that I think reapers can damage teleporters) safe and prevent the queen from burrowing. Once I was happy with the setup I went down to the edge of the red zone and layed down a pitfall trap over half a teleporter on the floor, with the other half being separate so that I could use it safely. Using a rock drake I kited a reaper up from the red zone and into the trap successfully. Cryoed the drake, jumpted on the teleporter and activated the teleporter. The jump was successful and the reaper was into the holding pen I had created way up in the Fallen Nexus. Used heavy turrets to bring down its health and tested impregnation. The reaper got me and the important bit was that it didnt burrow after so my plan should work. Am definitely going to employ a few safety features and double up on the security of the holding pen on our cluster server. I dont want a reaper queen of any level never mind a high level one getting loose near our or others base. I can just imagine d1nk waking up to find our base wiped by a loose reaper or even our friends next door.

good luck jen! it's not easy dealing with expectations of 13 million players and you have done a hard job hope whatever next is a little less stressful lol also chicken raptor! man there better be a trailer at e3! we NEED it!

Or possibly Deinonychus

Just wish I could show you the video haha. Hhhhmm. Not sure reapers spawn close enough to the drake trench ? Also I think theres a limit on how far you can build down there. Basically you cant build in the trench ? My current thinking is building it in the purple/red transition zone and kiting the reapers the short distance. Forcing a high level to spawn is going to be a nightmare. Its just so dangerous in the red zone.

Check out under the waterfall by beaver dams, theres a nice lake and behind one of the falls (two entrances) theres a huuuge cave, only need 2 or 3 behe gates to block it off. Its real cool

PS4 - Unofficial Grinder E Server - Ragnarok (PvE) Played for just a few hours last night. Spent the first hour gathering Black & Silica Pearls from Viking Bay, then another hour farming crystal in the desert area. Spent the last hour searching for colored high level Griffs. Was about to give up hope, when I came across a blue body, Redwings with yellow trim near max level. I quickly made a trap and kited it in. After finally KO'ing it, I was just flying around, waiting for it to tame, and a Blue on Blue Griffin, plus a Red With Yellow Griff spawned in the same place. After Cryopoding the new Griff, I also tamed the Blue on Blue. The other one was really low level. Hit a few drops on the way back to base, and called it a night. Because this server has boosted drops, I have acquired a couple sets of artifacts. So I think I will do a boss battle. But I will need to tame and bred up a Rex Army first. My current base location does not offer me the space to do this, (even with cryopoding) So I need to find a location to build my new base. On this server, they have some building restrictions (only 3 buildings per tribe, and none bigger than 15x15. My current base is built on a tiny island, and is only 6x5. The only reason I am hesitating, is that when I first joined the server, I just hit drops the first 2-3 hours, and gathered enough tek stuff to build a my base in Tek. But within days of this, they changed the drops, and I have not seen a TEK drop since. So not sure if I want to destroy this base to build a new one, as I would prefer to have everything in one spot, versus multiple locations. Because the Admins are on every day, and they will wipe rule breakers, I don't want to screw up and do something wrong and get wiped. So I need to put a little time into scouting tonight. I am thinking the larger islands in the SW corner of the map. But would like to fins a spot that allows me to build and take advantage of the terrain to offer protection. (Like a cave) but we'll see.

You should really fix the problems with the game before adding more problems that won't get addressed. Another one jumps the Wildcard ship , hmmm

please look at submitted bugs and fix the bugs that this game has.

It’s been a year sense small tribes came out. Console hasn’t gotten anything new server wise in that year, we need new content! Can you please announce a new set of servers, a new map, or at least what the future of ark is. I love this game and I’d hate to see it die, so please give the community something to look forward too.

Congrats on fourth year Wildcard & Ark dev team these have been a fun 4 years playing this game

Yesterday ended up being mainly about breeding. I tamed one more argent for colors first, then collected up as many fertilized eggs as I could make. Got twin female argents with colors, worth keeping. And finally got a velo with all the stats I wanted from the parents. Not a huge accomplishment there since the rotating multipliers make his stats obsolete but this does mean I can finally start doing artifact runs on The Island. Honestly spent much of the day with my character sat on a bench doing other things while the babies grew and collecting up more eggs for kibble. Did find some time to take my mana out for a run, slowly getting used to her. Amazing, even the Ragnarok map feels small when you can traverse it so quickly... Impressed I got home on time today also, so I was able to load up and do my next round of breeding. Did the spinos, the new argents and bred my color mutated low level yuty, hoping for another female for more eggs. Yes I could just tame one but I figure I have almost an entire trough of meat left over from yesterday anyway so... Am pleased to report that having popped all of the eggs, I have a bumper crop of babies after so many failures. Both argent eggs gave me females so while the colors aren't perfect, I can keep them for breeding stock. As for the spinos...I finally got the HP to transfer from friend I's spino gift. Not only did I get HP, I got every other major stat too! You bet I ran to my hive to get honey for my nanny. She will be my main mount on Aberration until my line progress further. I am so excited after so many 0 HP spino babies. I also popped an egg from my 0 speed male and got a 3 stat male, with the 0 speed, stamina and melee rolls. And the 0 HP, classic...but that's fine. He's also a gorgeous color combination, dark grey with a full blue sail. These 2 together will be my main breeding pair until I finish putting together the full line, which means permanently dropping the speed. Finally I popped my one yuty egg and got...twin females. Usually whenever I get twins it's a male and a female, popping 2 sets of female twins in 2 days is unreal to me. And perfect for my needs. I honestly don't know how to handle all this excitement lol. It's been so long since I had any measurable success in this game and this is just win after win after win. Guess I'd better go run some more meat with all these new mouths to feed...

They need to add more dino to keep the players playing

Make 10 man servers for xbox without extinction

PC Official PvE I don't often write dailies - like never really, but I thought I'd share my weekend as it was quite eventful. I've been rebuilding my island base using my extinction char, transferring my old island char (now in an allied tribe to my extinction char on island) to TC server. So I bring the original back to remove some old plumbing - only to find I don't have any rights to do so within the allied tribe. So I message Asmo (tribe admin) to fix that. In the meantime I transfer back to TC - but without my wyvern as I don't have rights to cryo her back up prior to transfer! Anyways after I transfer to TC I accidentally click on my small cabin bed - this is a bed located ontop of a small but very high pillar. Oops, no way to deselect it and no flyer. Oh well. So I spawn and look around the mountaintop to see if there is any safe way down - accidentally slip, fall and die! Next 10 minutes is spent spawning close by and trying to reach body before everything decays, a few raptor deaths later I finally reach it, snuggle into a dark corner behind some rocks and then switch over to my extinction char. She built up a bunch of equipment to place in the new island base so transfer all that over and start placing things. During that time Sika announces he's running one of the bosses to help get engrams for people, so I join in on that, and we literally devour the alpha brood in a couple minutes. Fun times! I transfer back to extinction, by which point Chyarr has asked for some new thyla colors he's missing, so I start breeding some pairs to see if I can get him some babies. 4 hours wait so I go chase for a red osd, but on the way I realize I don't have my whip - head back to base but see a lime green wyvern flying towards the osd i saw, so I say hi - to no reply. I pick up my whip and head back towards the osd - it's started, and so is the purple one a bit further away - and no one is actually fighting the corrupts - I guess green wyvern person started them and left. grrrr. So I find another red osd - before the green wyvern person does - and managed to claim it before they arrived - hahaa! - they did arrive when I was on round 3 or 4, and then went away minding their own business. After the drop I'm flying to the nearest tp with a heavily laiden argie when I see this amazing blue and black tek quetz, lvl 60 female, but worth the tame for the colors alone. So I tp back to base to get something to capture it with - checking on thyla's - about an hour left, so pleanty of time to tame a lvl 60 quetz in. Grab my taming gear (darts, spike walls, kibble and narcs) and head out on my wyvern, tp'ing back to the quetz. Get close and hop up on my wyvern which immediately decides to land - I guess that's a change I hadn't noticed before - ugh. Back to base and grab the griffin and back to the quetz. About 10 darts later it's falling to the ground knocked - yay. Until it flops down and is attacked by a corrupt dilo - noooo. So I get the dilo aggro'd on me and kill it and a few threats in the immediate vicinity, and put up a bunch of spike walls to protect it. Now realizing the taming eff is gone to heck thanks to the dilo I head back to base to grab some mats to build a cage around the quetz so I can re-knock it for higher eff. I check on thyla's - 45 mins until birth, ugh - this is going to get messy, and to top it off Chyarr messages me saying - oops, gave you the wrong colors earlier, oh well, maybe I'll get a nice mutation out of what is breeding right now. As I'm about to head out after checking the thyla's my early-warning-system dinos start running towards the fence - apparently an alpha rex is chomping on species X plants. I throw out my giga pod and she makes pretty quick work of the rex and I throw the prime on the grill - I discard all prime when doing drops, so this was just a happy convenience. Anyways, back to the quetz, I put up a small cage with pillars and ceilings and wait a few more mins for its torp to drain. I knock it out again and drop some kibble in, straight up to almost 50% tamed - yay. And I place a velon on the ceilings to keep anything else that approaches at bay. I wait until about 5 mins until the thyla's are due then load up the quetz with enough narcs for it to finish taming and tp back to deliver the babies. No mutations, but did end up with two babies that had colors Chyarr was looking for, so I put those aside. Head back to the quetz and the juggling act is complete! Later that evening I'm back on the island continuing to set things up when I decide to do a quick metal run - heading out I see a titanosaur not more than a minute away from base. So I think, I wonder if my boss rex can take on this beast - my rex is based on one of Berts recent stats (Thank you so much for breeding rex's Bert!). And she's mated with my other best stats - with oxy and speed stats near 0 to keep her base under the 380 breeding level. She's quite leveled - 57k hp and 1500 melee at this point, with a 118 armored saddle. So me and rexy make our way over to the Titanosaur and start munching away while it stomps rexy's health away. Munch munch munch, stomp stomp stomp. Things ensue, but rexy is getting pretty beaten up, and only a few small scratches on the titanosaur starting to appear. So we turn tail and start walking away - it's nightfall now on the island and the titanosaur is giving chase - but as it turns out, walking away with a rex is just the right speed so the titanosaur doesn't stomp. So we munch for a bit until a server lag spike after which either the titanosaur lost interest or saw something else more interesting. So in the interest of preserving rexy's life we walk back to base. I hop on my lightning wyvern (about 12k hp and 400 melee) and start back on the titanosaur - we battle through the remainder of the night, and just after dawn the titanosaur falls. Yay, all safe and sound again, and time for my own bed!

hey, I’m happy that some people are just thrilled about this. Honestly, tho, it feels like I just got invited to watch you eat cake in your offices. If you’re celebrating an anniversary, do you come home and just say, “hey happy anniversary, I’m going to eat cake and i didn’t get you any.” Go eat your cake, you aren’t sharing, and I don’t want to watch. It isn’t entitlement. This should be an exchange, it doesn’t take anything to toggle something besides the everyday old evolution event that comes with the weekend. Honestly wildcard if I was your significant other I’d break up with you. That’s so rude. Get some manners. Happy fourth anniversary. Go eat your cake by yourself unless you can do an anniversary celebration right. Doesn’t mean we don’t love you just means you’re a bit slow when it comes to doing it right.

So.. Nothing to us by supporting the Bu... Ark for 4 years? Bring back the dodowyvern/dodorex and the zobies!

Thanks .... unfortunately that cave as well as the huge cavern by the upper Hidana griffin spawn is currently occupied by someone else.

Hopefully it's the Utah Raptor or something of the sort. What ever it is we need it lol. Huge props for all the Awesome things you guys do. And please keep the new Dinosaurs coming
