  2. Started my first online adventure yesterday and on PVP no less! Found a server with as few people possible on Scorched earth and began building up with my friend. Eventually we made contact with the only other 2 people on the server and found that they had just started as well so now we are all in a tribe together. I'm super excited about having outside input about the game that I cannot get from playing singleplayer. Already learning tons about PVP and how to not piss off the Alpha Tribe as best you can (I'm still not convinced there even is an Alpha tribe on the server, it looks pretty desolate). We have a morellatops, raptor and doed tamed so far (with lots of parasaurs that have laid down their lives for our cause) and are next to a great little mountain with crystal, metal, salt, obsidian and most important of all... Argie's.

  3. PS4 - Unofficial Cluster Got off work on Friday early, and home by 5:30pm. Played ARK until 5:30Am Yikes Woke up after 3 hours couldn't sleep, so back onto ARK by 9am on Saturday. More or less played until 11pm. Woke up Sunday morning and was back online ARK by 10:15am. Played nearly nonstop until 6:00am Monday morning! (yes 20 hours) Woke up today (Monday) at 10:30, did some things around the house, going to grab lunch, and then be back on by 1pm. So yeah .... a total DILO-ton of hours this holiday weekend! Why? My buddies convinced me to give Abberration another go. The admins have the Easter event going on that map this weekend. I've tamed about 25 shine horns, 30 featherlights, 5-10 other event colored dinos. (and 6-8 Rock Drakes - 4 event colored) and oh yeah, I've been impregnated by Reaper Queens 10 times, and given birth 9 times. (the first time, I tried switching some nearly broken tek armor while pregnant and still in the radiation zone. Oops!) I ended up with 5 Easter Reapers from the same Queen! Yellow Body, Pinks highlights, and neon Green stomach! (It was a high level, so we built a birthing pen right near the pen we trapped the Reaper in. Once we saw the baby pop as a event colored, we farmed her for 3 hours, but holy cow she was not very cooperating most of the time, and kept glitching. The rest are all normal colored. (and yes, the breeding and maturation rates are boosted on this server, so the pregnancy lasts less than an hour.) Been a CRAZY weekend, but I am actually having fun on Abberation, even though I am scared everytime down in the Red zone, and I couldn't do it without my buddy, as I get lost CONSTANTLY !

  5. There should be a way to separate the balances made to dinosaurs and game mechanics between PvE and PvP. Multiple balances have made PvE nothing but hard. Managarmr being a recent example, in PvE they're useless now thanks to the many balances made to make PvP better. Flier nerf was a huge change in PvE making fliers and transportation harder by forcing us to land since PvP was taking to the skies too often and the game tried to "ground" the fight

  6. Recently we launched a new initiative, Classic PvP, which aimed to bring back the original days of PvP. These early days were full of fun and engaging battles with limited technology and an emphasis on the primitive aspects of PvP. Recent feedback from the community suggests that Classic PvP is a good start to reimagining early PvP but there's still more you'd like to see. When we originally launched Classic PvP, we launched it with a seasonal-based concept in mind. The idea of implementing a seasonal-based approach in an ARK game-mode was as enticing to us as it was to the community. On Friday 10:00 AM PDT, we'll be taking steps to get closer to the initial concept that inspired the game mode by implementing a few changes that have been requested by the community. In addition to these changes, Friday we will be wiping Classic PvP and preparing for Season 2. SEASON 2 CHANGES Cryopods are now craftable in obelisk terminals While we've heard feedback that you don't want TEK items like the TEK replicator, you do want items like cryopods for quality of life improvements. Cave building is disabled This change is one of the core requests from the community and a shift in the meta that we agreed on implementing for Classic PvP. We are excited to see how this change impacts Season 2 and we will adjust as necessary for future seasons. We’re anxious to get Season 2 underway but it's important to introduce changes slowly to monitor how they impact the current meta and gameplay. We’ll be looking forward to your suggestions and feedback for future seasons!

  7. Perhaps this “new character” is none other than the “Beast Queen” herself, Mei Yin. She’s one of the only surviving friends of Helena, and she is a full on warrior, and she hates Rockwell for killing the majority of her people in theTEK village where she lived on Aberration, making her a likely character.

  8. Finally lol. After a few nights worth of work I have finished the base conversion on the Island. Took longer than I thought it would, and a few changes in plans. I scaled back the amount of glass peices, I could easily have made the entire roof glass lol. Tried to keep the original character of the build while expanding to it, well at least keep one or two key features. Definitely feels more like a new build though. Got the usual crafting areas, storage areas aswell as the the now compulsory bp library that every base must have. Am really happy with it although I am still not happy with the stairs, need to work out a better way of accessing the first floor. Theres alot of room left to add things, so maybe I can add a small indoor green house in the corner or even just more storage. I think next up is demolishing the snow owl pellet tower and the old breeding barn and creating a new breeding barn. Shall have to sleep on that idea.

  9. Your CPU is fine, it's much more your RAM, GPU and hard drive speed for Ark. 16gb and an SSD will work wonders for it, and a 1060 or better will take it the rest of the way. I used to have an old Alienware with an i7 3770, 16gb, GTX 780, SSD, Ark ran fine except needed a faster video card (780 was about equal to your current one). Downgraded to a low-level i5, 8gb, GTX1060 and 500gb HD and could barely get on servers and it had big lag. Re-upgraded to i5 4670, 16gb, GTX1060 and SSD, Ark runs far better than it ever did before even though the CPU is weaker. Could still use faster video card though, but the 1060 is ok for now.

  10. This I have wanted since day one two separate balance files for PVE and PVP, including element transfers and tributes transfers. Makes sense on PVP no sense at all on PVE

  11. Operation Aberration was quite the success, I tamed a low level bulb dog and managed to tame 2 ravagers, male and female, both of which tamed out at level 201. I hadn't planned on taming ravagers but it seemed fated and I have played long enough to know that when the ark giveth we taketh, because when you WANT it you won't find it. I also built a little resupply shack near the entrance to top up narcotics stocks and eventually tamed a 145 aberrant spino. I left the tames by the shack and ran to the entrance to catch a taxi (argy) back to base, grabbed the stuff to make a cryofridge and some pods. I wired up the cryofridge next to the chembench and raced off to retrive my new housemates. My next plan is to finish working on the base, I have had 2 lucky dino hunt days in a row and don't want to push my luck.

  12. 'The apex way' posted a video of him doing the tek cave with other tribes about a month or so ago, it may be useful to you. I found the link, I wish you luck for your glorious rematch.

  13. today i set out to make some organic poly from my gacha for the trade deal i had worked out, so I pulled out a iguanodon i had tamed in abberation who i had named "Fingers", he wasn't the highest level guy but at the time he worked for berries. I parked fingers over by the gacha and hopped atop the bronto, I didn't care what berries I got just as long as I got alot of them, and just a few minutes later, 3k of bronto weight filled with berries, a little thatch n' wood. I started pulling the berries off the bronto and using fingers masterful skills had him turn all the berries into seeds. I shoved the seeds into the Gacha who already were half full with owl pellets, and they promptly started chomping away and making me crystals. By the time all was said and done, i had 400 crystals, at 30 poly per crystal, i was sure that was more then enough. A Tribe said they were going to do the alpha tek cave and invited anyone who wanted to come, I decided to join them but not before breeding the rex that I was going to take with me. I grabbed a set of armor my gacha had given me earlier while making poly, and 200 medi brew just to be safe. and flew off to the tek cave to meet up with the tribe. they were doing a little prep work before they headed in and i just followed the lead, as I had never done the tek cave before. As we got to through the first part, everything seemed to be going pretty good, didn't seem as tough as what people were saying it was, and only 3 giga were encountered on the way in. we got to the teleporter, and headed in to the main arena, everything looked like it was going great. one inside they led us to the eplorers note in the chamber then shortly after the battle started. Not knowing what I was to do, i just followed what everyone else was doing and defended the yuty so it could keep the rexs buffed. It seemed to be going okay, but, i was watching the timer, and not enough damage was being done to the boss in corilation to how much time was left. when it rolled down to the last 5 minutes, most of the other players rex were dead, and when it hit the end of the counter, everyone was dead and all the dinos, except me and my rex, the counter went to -10 then vanished, I was still inside, and so was my rex, but he was almost dead, i knew he was lost, so I hopped off the seat, whistled attack my target and ran behind a pillar. The rex battled bravely to its last breath, but... i was still alive... and alone... with the boss... for about 5 minutes, i wasn't taking any damage, what was going on? I tried to find a way out but at lass, there wasn't any, and after that 5 minutes passed, i started taking damage again.. so I promptly ran up to the boss and started punching him, i knew i was a goner but by god i was gonna get a few good blows in. and then... i died. I'm guessing they didn't have rexes with high enough melee for the boss, its the only thing i could think of that caused the loss of the battle. there at the end i did a good 1/4th damage to the dragon form of it, so it really was the only thing i could think of. I'm going to watch some videos of the tek cave, hopefully i can find some legit official battles and not ones where people have cheats enabled in order to beat it. After i was out, i thanked the other tribe for the experience then left the temp alliance they made to get everyone in, and headed home. once back home, i sorted abit of stuff, and looked in my armor chest thinking 'im glad i took some stuff the gacha gave me today'. I fed all the rexs and then carted 4 off across the river to breed them with the neighboring tribe, perhaps i'll get some even higher melee rexs out of it. Put the eggs away, did one more meat run, and cooked up some meat as my fridge was almost empty, then made some more medi brew while i waited for that to cook up. One of my friends who is a tribe member on Valguero called out to me asking for some help to retrieve some dino's from the ice cave up in the north west corner, I grabbed some gear, and 1/2 the medi brew i had just cooked up and headed over to his base taking a shortcut with the teleporter. He loaned me a rex to use while we headed in, and told me what to expect as we went in, saying "well probably die if we get hit". Keeping a watchful eye as we headed in I could see there were alot of perlovia in there, i hate those guys, always leaping and knocking you off your dino... didn't know they had a 'daze' feature now when they knock you off though. for the most part we did really well heading in, neather of us got knocked off, and took hardly any damage, we came to a spot where we had to put the rex away, and go on foot, and thats when a theri came running up, freaked me out but luckly, it was my friends! one down, 5 to go, the next dino we found was his other theri, then his snow owl which he healed everyone up with. by the time we go to where his rexs were they had gone poof... rip rexs. we rode the theri out most of the way only needing to cryo them once. I got knocked off twice, one time i thought for sure i was dead, but managed to get back on the theri with a sliver of health left and promptly drank a bunch of medi brew, the second time wasn't so bad as the theri had the perlovia blocked from hitting me. my friend got knocked off his once, i tried to warn him before it leeped but i was too slow of a typer. we made it out safely. As a reward for helping him get his dino's back he let me keep the loaner rex, a nice black and gold tek rex. i was happy to keep it, he also let me keep a sniper rifle and the bullets, and gave me a bit of loot from the cave. that was a fun adventure. not all days are totally productive, but all days are learning experiences. Its been a long day, and I headed back up to my bed and decided to call it a day, laying back thinking on the days events.

  14. need to move all official servers to legacy and make the game like it just came out again. gigas hatching over 500 melee still thousands of duped meks in the game rexes hatching level 400 cant even level them to max level. like you must reset them at one point of eventually gigas will be having 1k melee like come on. its a no brainer. yeah a ton of people will say they are gona quit but trust me, most of them wont. but A TON of more people who wish they could play but cant cuz they stand no chance unless they buy items on facebook would start playing again for sure. trust me.

  16. I'm excited but check the room temperature Wildcard. People are losing everything due to fabby and longneck bugs and items locked and expiring in obs and just complete lost of data with not a word on progress since last night. Think this is the best time to push to sell more content? Like at least put out an updated statement with cliche's first. By the way, this is coming from someone who purchased that DLC mid stream and plays on an unaffected unofficial. Just a player who wants stuff done right for your official fanbase plus you guys not to get more backlash then you've gotten already. Communication goes such a long way even if the news is grim.
