Today, and rest of this week is cloning Dust Gacha and Owls. I've got a nice little silo that will dump all the gacha crystals into a neat little pile. When I get everything set up it will be fly from silo to silo and pick up crystals. Almost as bad a grinding for the rock to feed them, but it gets me the element I need to make my tek base.

From 4 years of playing this game and even if others consider this a myth, I'm 100% convinced there is a subroutine function in the game that make crap spawn near/on top of an ongoing tame. Every single time I did a tame in this game standing near with the creature unprotected, something predatory spawned near by. Containement structures don't always save your creatures from being attacked as I often saw raptors/t-birds/compies spawn inside the cage with your creatures... If you start a tame here are a few tips that will save you from frustrations : - Build a pen around it, ALWAYS. - If possible, build a second layer. - If you want to stay near by/or need to, keep your eyes open. Don't go watch a video while waiting, you are bound for disaster. - Starve tame. Put 1-2 food at the end of the expected tame time and if you see the effectiveness is not what you expected, don't waste ressources. - Use stasis to your advantage. Dinos will keep on spawning when out of render range, but they remain static until rendered by a player. To sum it up : 1- Build a pen. 2- Starve tame. 3- Get away until it's time to feed it.

Tried out my Quetzal mining platform. Defrosted my baby rexes!

EU-PVP-Official-[REDACTED] Cool, wet grass. Cool wet grass. Everything is temporary. We who choose to make our homes on the shifting sands of war must learn to adapt when our castles fall. Loss is an opportunity to build. I didn't want my undersea vaults anyway. Cool, wet grass. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

PC Unofficial PVE Earlier this month, me and my friend decided to start afresh on a new PVE cluster. We'd just finished up a private PVP server on Valguero with a couple of our friends, and we were getting a bit stressed out. We spawn into Ragnarok, as we haven't played it in a while. We both spawn into a megabase, and since it's PVE, we're basically trapped. Luckily, I spawned in a spot where I could run up a ledge and out of the base. Long story short, I have to chuck my friend spoiled meat through a window. Later, we're talking in chat as my Steam calling is broken. A gentleman already set up on the server notices we're new, and so comes over to our meager base from the other side of the map. Unfortunately, I had to get off at this time and so my friend got to accept all his generous gifts. He gave us ascendant tools, ascendant flak, and some very nice pteranodons. Too kind. We've now come a long way from both getting killed by the same 290 ichthyornis (). We have a large base on Ragnarok, located on a large plateau at the border of the desert. We've got beds and boxes to the 4 loot crates in the deathsands. We've now got an even bigger base on Scorched in the very center of the map, that we only made this morning. But now onto the story. So last night, my friend really wanted to tame a Spino. He transferred to the Island and I searched the canyons of Ragnarok. I looked for a while and eventually found a 280 (max 300). I called my friend over but I had to leave in 20 minutes, so I was unsure if we should tame it right then. He insisted he could take over if I had to go, so I gave in. After losing my friend and nearly losing his griffin to the Spino, I trapped it against a cliff wall with a couple of S+ gates. 5 minutes and 70 darts later, it fell unconscious. After tranqing it out, I REALLY had to go, so I told my friend he would need some spike walls as it's terror bird/raptor city where we knocked it out. He assured me everything would be fine. How wrong he was. No less than 10 minutes later, I get a call from him. I pick up my phone with dread and say tentatively, 'Yes?' My fears are cemented when it takes him a second to answer... "I hate STUPID TERROR BIRDS!" Turns out a Pteranodon had gotten clipped into the Spino's body and the terror birds had attacked it, but not before knocking 86% taming effectiveness of the Spino. Real nice. My friend didn't make spike walls either because he thought nothing in the vicinity would attack a wild Spino. Tonight we're going to try and tame a 290 I saw on the flight back to base, but this time I'm not leaving my friend alone with it.

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

EU-PVE-Official-TheIsland today, i took a 18 800 melee rexs with 35k health into the alpha ape battle, we had one yuty there for two reasons, 1 all the rex we moved off to the right as soon as we got in, and the yuty ran up and pulled the ape to the rexs, after pulling it to the rexs it proceeded to buff them as they attacked the ape. the battle lasted a whole 4 minutes. After that we took the element and made a tek teleporter and generator, then sense we have been playing together for serveral months but in seprate tribes, we merged our two tribes together. at the other players base we placed the second teleporter and geny in a small room, just big enough to hold it and whatever we teleport to it. its set to non-public, so no ones going to be teleporting in. It took us sense Friday to be able to do a bossbattle on the server, as every obelisk had dino's parked around them so that no one else could get dino's to them. blocked. This is one reason we setup the teleporter, there is a drop that comes down right outside the door at the teleporter so we can bring the rexs over, wait for a drop and start the boss fight that way instead of having to wait days for people to move their dino's off the obelisks. The blue obelisk is totally inaccessable, but the green obelisk got cleared enough that we managed to get all the rex positioned onto the platform. The red one is finally clear, but its too far of a trek to take the rexs on foot and no where near that a teleporter could be placed due to pillars. Anyhow, we found a solution for our problem, and its in a good enough spot that, well, lets just say no ones going to be keeping us from accessing it. and no, we don't have it blocked. Hopefully we will be able to get more boss battles done in the future to get abit more tek made up for our two bases now there, both being on opposite ends of the map, making it nice sense now, both have a teleporter to easily get back and forth.

Yea a lot of people have been seeing hands like you did. I could find them too after someone else pointed them out to me the first time, but I'm pretty sure the armless version is the correct one. Clearly they thought dragonflies and ants weren't enough. Kapros always do amaze me with how far they can take you... Pull you right off your mount and over 3 hills, a mountain, over a river, and through the wood until you're on the other side of the map only for it to die in 2 seconds anyway.

This is what I see when I look at it

PS4 - Unoffical Cluster - Abberration Continued to feed my Reaper addiction, as I try to get more event colored Reapers. Over the last 2 days, I have been very lucky, and gotten 7 different colored babies.Including the lat one last night which was dark green body, with white highlights and white belly. Looks really good. I have been really trying for a Purple colored one, and we finally got a queen yesterday. Texas got pregnant and the baby popped out Black body & belly, with purple trim. Looks amazing. UNfortunately, when we went back to the trap to get pregnant, a Megosaurus was fighting her, and managed to kill the Queen! So Texas is the only lucky guy. We also got mint green body, with moss green trim, white body with blue belly, and white body with yellow belly. And finally my watermelon babies Green body, orange trim, and burgandy belly. Kind of looks like the layers of a watermelon. I forgot to take screen shots, but here is an image from last weekend while the Reapers were spawning on Val. https://imgur.com/a/f4DxnOY https://imgur.com/mD1D6JW https://imgur.com/aRmkG61

I would prefer a stability, bug fix, make the HUD customizable (and therefore make it useful and informative) patch instead of new content. Look, you guys are pretty awesome at game design and holy crap the maps you have made truly are innovative and beautiful. But we have serious problems that need fixed before we get more. Please listen. I'm not being rude, just practical. My tribe recently had a 389 purebred Managarmr (crazy good stats with a 100 armor saddle) stop in the middle of the air on Scorched Earth Official slowly float away like Mary Poppins and disappeared thought he top of the game, 3 weeks later we gets its "Replacement" a level 201 (your current policy) and a primitive saddle. A week later another Purebred Managarmr disappeared through the top of the game on the same map, the GMs did not reply to my friend on that one yet... Now, a 212 Rock Drake (Born at 190, which is HARD AF to find btw) just drops through the bottom of Scorched Earth in the Wyvern trench and disappeared and never died, just gone. Now the GM wants me to "Schedule an appointment" for a replacement, which would be fine, however... The next available appointment is over a month from now... Like, really?? Come on. I get it though, I'm a blue blooded Capitalist and I know you have to pay for quality and service, which I have absolutely NO PROBLEM doing. You've made a truly impressive and breathtaking game here and I'm going to royally piss off my fellow gamers with this suggestion... But I suggest you start a Subscription based service to help you expand your development team and most importantly Customer Service. Make it optional, and people with the subscription goes straight to the front of the line for Customer Service and any free players just get their needs met whenever you get to them.

I don't know, PvP crowd has always seemed way more elitist to me.

The tribe war system has been there for years. Cheesed for years. Most people never use it. Interesting premise though. Burns you up most people just don’t play PvP.

Stats seem to indicate that the majority of players are PvE .... so maybe they should focus on making sure the game favors those players instead. ?

You sir are breathtaking!

I would have to agree with your initial statement on the mana's being practically useless in PVE at the current moment. It's beyond frustrating that not only can we not hardly use them but on a couple maps (and even then with risk of losing the mana and your gear forever), but that they continue to ignore the extreme buggyness of them and keep nerfing them with no way to revert to old settings without mods. I absolutely love manas and think they were a great addition to the game, but I just wish they would spend more time on the bugs with them before worrying about so many heavy nerfs.

No I am PVP player by Heart and even in PVE Balancing matters (not as much as PVP but it does) Why should they feel pround when you dont have to achive something? Just becouse I am a PVP player by heart dosnt mean I dont care for other People who allso call ARK there "Home" if PVP or not I dont care but It should make both of this groups some fun one easy Fix I would see Is not devide PVP and PVE Dinos since most PVE Player Breed them for boss fights... why not give them a Buff in the Boss arena? that there Range is extended and Damage is buffed?

Still waiting to hear what Nerfs PVP has suffered because of PVE needing something PvP can fly in caves, build in caves, pick up wild Dino's and destroy other peoples; spiked walls, taming pens, pillar spam, land ownership claims What did PvP suffer because of something PvE did?

I feel this is sarcasm, pve players that play official, dont want creative mode and God mode, that's why they play official instead of private dedi or singleplayer

Hello immature straw-man argument how are you today?
