  1. PVE-Official-ScorchedEarth Logged on to my Scorched earth server today and found that my allies base that surrounded mine with walls was gone, and someone decided to start pillaring around my base stopping me from being able to even put spikes around my base. I quickly pillared up the side that didnt have any pillars surrounding it, then hopped on support and reported the base blocking. They found that it was indeed blocking me and removed the pillars, afterwards I pillared out from mine and threw up a barrier wall of spikes around the base till i can get enough gates to put around it, least that will keep the boas, scorpions, wolves, sabers and karpa away from the base till then. PVE-Official-TheIsland I had been building a dino pen next to my base on Valguero, and ran out of close by materials to farm, so I decided to hop on the island and craft walls and ceilings before 2x ended. I managed to gather enough stone to craft 800 walls, and 400 ceilings, which i though would be enough to finish it off. Afterwards I traded for a couple low level mana to take with me over to Valguero, nothing special just a level 40 and 70, just primarly wanted them for fast travel to different parts of the map, and they will serve the purpose. Hung around for awhile as one of my tribemates was able to log in for a hour, we chatted for awhile while the dieno babies sat out. Afterwards I headed off to Valguero after uploading the walls and ceilings. PVE-Official-Valguero Logged in and the first thing i see when i go outside, a Alpha rex chomping away at a bronto, I quickly went back up to my room and pulled out my giga, heading out to kill off the alpha, It was only a lvl 60 so the giga didn't have any problems taking it down. Man them things move fast. Once that was done, I downloaded the walls and ceilings and set out to finish the pen, I had enough walls to finish building it up to the top of the behemoth gates with 2 walls left over, and proceeded to put the ceilings on to cover the roof, After laying them all I found i was 198 ceilings short >.< well more crafting on the island I guess, got alot more made there in a shorter period of time then valguero. One of the friendly tribes was trying to mine metal with their anky and we noticed a problem there on valguero, they weren't getting any more metal from the nodes then I was with mine, what was the problem? my anky was 332 melee, theirs was 1.2k melee. To top it off, it seems that were getting 1/2 the normal metal we get on 1x at the island. I fed all the dino's afterwards and headed out for the day. Future Plans tomorrow its making gates to finish protecting my little scorched earth base from land critters, I'm going to have to put up some air defenses now as well, as my allies base is gone there is no more air defense as well, thinking bring over some speices X and setup some water lines so there is something there at least. I figure after im done with Scorched earth, i'll head back to the island and make the last of the ceilings I need to close off the pen, then we can figure out how were going to setup the inside for the dinos.

  2. [LOG_TRANSMIT] Requesting status report. [LOG_RECEIVE] Rumors everywhere. The bog has a boogeyman. [LOG_TRANSMIT] Today's rumors are tomorrow's folk tales. [LOG_RECEIVE] Terminal Entry MM-05 [LOG_RECEIVE] We find the lucky ones trapped in giant webs. [LOG_RECEIVE] But we find the unlucky ones as corpses, drained of blood. [LOG_RECEIVE] Unluckiest of all are the ones we never find. Given the above text, I assume that this is some spider creature that spits webs and lives in bogs (hence they say "The bog has a boogeyman"). It seems that if you get trapped in it's web, it will attack you and slowly drain you of health. I wonder how we'll be able to combat that...if at all. Also, is [LOG_RECEIVE] saying that there are more of itself? I mean, it's saying that someone or something is spreading rumors, and "everywhere", and also that "WE find the lucky ones in giant webs". Is it referring to itself and Helena, or, if it's a specimen-monitoring AI as necaradan666 suggested, more of itself, monitoring the specimens? Interesting.

  3. Had a bad day in ark, we have been using ally Val server to get milk for our wyverns. I was inside the base when the server crashed. after 10 min finally got back in and i was apparently killed(even though I was INSIDE the base) my body no where to be found and i was suddenly also kicked out of the tribe. After relog my tribe status/issue was resolved, but my gear and shot gun was lost... Still grieving for my shot gun... Anyways we went back home to our main base on ext then started raise some babies as I traded for a black and red Tape.. love it!

  6. i have recently gotten internet on my ps4 and PSN. so i am now playing online. i have no friends that play PS4. i also have not found a decent server to play on. i chose a random server when i typed up auto unlocked easy tek picked the server with the least days, i ended up on a pretty good server that is a week old. spawned near jungle 2 (i am on rag btw) and went to blue ob for the crates. i straight up have metal tools aside from pick. i harvest the metal and make a forge. i craft a smithy and make flak Armour and pick. i run up to where the crystal is and make a spy glass. i find a small obsidian rock and harvest it. 300 ob from one rock. i run to a red drop and find an asc set of metal gear consisting of: pick, hatchet, pike, sickle, sword, 2 crossbows, flak armour and a glide suit. i equip the stuff and run back down to base. i see a beach bob runnin up to my base. he starts hitting it, i am also on pvpve server. anyway i run up and ask him what he is doin, he said he is looting this small setup. i ask why, he said cause the guys had a bunch of metal and gear. i say do u know who it is. he said no but it dont matter. i say take a wild guess. he looks at my name and then the structures. he runs off into the trees. i think to myself what an idiot. i continue on by making guns, made a fab and made a pump shoty. i make 100 tranq arrows and 50 narcs. now it is time to find a tame. the max lvl is 300 from what i could tell. i find a 210 trike. make a trap and knock it out, berry it up and saddle. made 1000+ narcs and turned them into 300+ tranq darts. i made an argent trap. a 300 flew down onto the beach. led it into the trap and knocked it out. i tamed up a incthyornis and sicked it on some dodos. gave the bird 30 prime meat and tamed it up. i saddled it and went on to make a cryopod to put my trike in to move bases. made the cryo stored trike. the structure pickup time on structures is like 30 days so i can move my base. i store everyhting into my bird and set off. i dont entirely know where i want to make my base. i plan to make my base on the mountains near the castle. it poses a great challenge to raid in pvp du to the narrow path ways and limited route up to it. i found an area that point out and is like a circular shape. i will make a circle base there. made a small base and crafted saddles for utility dinos. while looking for a beaver i found a white beacon. looked in and found 100 of each kibble and cakes. i am so set. while knocking out a beave i find a 290 theri, i leave it till i find a better rifle. i tamed up a 270 beaver, 280 doedic and a 250 deer. while passive collecting resources by carrying the beaver on my bird i spot a red beacon. quickly race over and open it up to find asc guns. a pump, longneck, sniper, assult, pistol and harpoon gun. so now i had a better rifle i went for the theri. knocked it out and used the kibble. i know have all the tames i need for a base. next up is to get tames i will use for pvp. i dont plan to play on this server long term cause their seems to be alot of salty people on the server. if anyone is lookin for a overall great player on ps4 i am happy to play. i also made a small ally. he lives in the castle and the plains near the castle.

  7. PS4 - Unofficial cluster Kind of hit a lull late last week. Found myself kind of forcing myself to log on, so I took a break mostly from ARK for the weekend. In fact the only time I played was Saturday morning from 3:30 - 5:30 am due to inability to sleep, and then again on Sunday afternoon for about 2 hours. I managed to get 3-4 more colored Reapers, but nothing real exciting. I need to get on tonight and refresh my bases on the other two maps. I think the Plant Species X turrets decay after 3 -4 days. I think I will demolish my starter base on Valguerro, and just keep the base near the abberation biome. I had planned on building a big base where my starter base is, and then demolishing my underground base, but I just can't seem to get the energy up to move everything from 1 base to the other. But I need to do it, and probably cryo all of my dinos too on the two maps that I hardly play. Ever since the Manticore bug on Rag, I just have no desire to go back to that map.

  9. so got back from school yesterday and decide to play on the server for a bit. i log into the server and straight up see huge gates around my base. completly blocking me. i cant get in or out without fliers. i ask in chat what goin on and someone says they now own me, my base, my tribe and the mountain i am living on. i ask DILO r u talking about. the player says he claimed the entire mountain by building all over it. so i say i was hear first and to buzz off before u sign your death warrant. he said he was not scarred of me. now usually i would have riley and my other friends to aid me in a raid on a server. this time it was just me so i had to think big. i evaluated my situation and first worked on making a way out. i slowly broke his gates with my theri's headbutt. i then made a hasty run with my argent and my tames. i made it to the castle and made a camp near the bridge. an ally i made lives in the castle. he has rebuilt it and fixed the bridge. i messaged him asking him for help. in an hour he was online. i filled him in on my situation. he said he has some friends who he could ask to join the server. i said go ahead. the problem is i am the only one with pvp experience, everyone else has played pve. so hopefully this afternoon when i get back from school we will be ready to raid this terd.

  11. Oh, another sassy remark from someone who doesn't understand controlling the servers to that level isn't something Wildcard has access to do themselves. Before you say "pay for better servers", ARK's going to need a steady income (micro-transations) to keep those going. Then again, it depends on how strong the DDoS attack is.

  12. Offfical Valguero PvE, all by myself I finally tamed an Argy, which will greatly advance my mobility and dino power capabilities. I used the "four stone dino gate" type of trap. I had read about them and they seemed much more straighforward than some of the more intricate but cheaper designs. It worked exactly as advertised, but I had to walk slowly and let the Argy hit me from time to time to make sure that it followed me into the trap. There were lots of Trikes and Stegos in the area and they seemd to be helping the Argy to prevent me from closing the gate intil the Argy could turn around and fly out. It took me three tries, but I finally got him insode, me outside, and the gates closed. I had run out of tranq darts by that point, so I fell back to my tranq arrows from an ordinary crossbow. He kept turning away from me whnever I hit him in the head, so I had to run back and forth to opposite sides and all of the Trikes and Stego go tin the way. I was almost out of tranq arrows when he finally succumbed. I checked him and he was level 140! No wonder it took so much effort to put him down. I did a check on the Dododex and saw that it normally would take 6 hours using raw meat. I had been preparing for this for a while, but I expected to snag a level 50 tops. Fortunately, it was a double-weekend and it would only take 3 hours. I would probably not get a chance like this again for a while, so I set in for the long tame (but not so long as not duinrg a double weekend). I had my Stegos sweep the area every time that the berries respawned to get enough Narcoberries and killed lots of pigs for meat. While I waited, I built on my new home - I am calling it a castle since that seems to be the direction that i am taking it. My goal is something like Mad Ludwig's castle (think Disney if you do not know about Ludwig), but I am sure that it will look like it was rendered in Minecraft since I tend to build blocky and square. I will post a picture when I get the turrets finished. Back to taming - the hard part is not the subduing or the feeding and tranqing. The hard part is keeping the unconscious dino safe from all manner of predators that climb out of the Abberant Trench. I had read a suggestion to use spiky walls to keep taming dinos safe, so I placed wooden spikes all around the trap except for the gate that was farthest from the Argy. While I was working on the castle, I heard the battle music and crunching from the direction of the trap. There was a Carno reaching over the spike wall, through the closed gate, crunching on my unconscious Argy. I had on full plate that was fully repaired (I always try to keep my weapons sharpened), so I jumped off the battlement with my sword yellling "Cowabunga, Dude!" and rushed the Carno. The poor thing hardly had a chance to turn around from the Argy before I clove him in twain. I built a econd tier of sharpened spikes in a ring outside the first ring and stayed a little more alert after that. I killed another Carno and two Raptors befofre the Argy was tamed. All of the Stegos and Trikes that were blocking me earlier helped kill a few more Raptors that wandered into the area. I think I will leave them in the fields around the castle as they seem to make good guards - sort of like gators in a moat. The Argy tamed out at 180, so it will be immune to regular Rex roars (critters lower level than a particular Rex will suffer the effects of "Rex-roar"). Now I just need to accumulate enough keratin to build the saddle...

  13. Was working on my first actual base ( Just started playing a few days ago) and was flying around collecting green drops. Thought that the coast was clear on the last one I went to get, got jumped by a tek raptor, died and then had to log out due to having to go to work..so now I have to hope that my dino is flying around being safe and I will be able to talk someone into taking me to my last death area when I log back in to get my only dino...

  15. So one of our long time ARK friends got insided a few months back, lost over 100 imprinted high level dinos on Extinction and then cut his network cable refurbishing his house. Hes finally back after a month out and welcomed the opportunity to join my tribemate and I on Center60. This is great news as across the four main maps (Center, Ext, Abb and Valg) we now have more people to help keep things fed and fuelled. This has given me a bit more energy to play so I hatched 43 Ptera eggs and no muts... however, we did create another 10 cryofridges so new tribemate could bring all his dinos and anything decent he had left over from Ext. We have decided to start rebuilding our Cliff base (its been around for quite a while now but it could be more accessible so weve decided upon a big project to rebuild it with a newer look... Ill keep you posted. Other than that, I wont be looking for many new stats for anything as everything we have allows us to do everything, so its more of a case of tidying the base up, sorting through the many dinos/bp etc and having a more sleek experience.

  16. @caleb68 Love the screenshots of your base, awesome builds. I think it would look a lot less prison/schoolhouse-like if you added some paint, I see a little bit on one roof but you'd be amazed how much depth and character it can add to the whole build. Also switching up the materials, like using wood ceilings and railings instead of stone, would add some warmth and break up the monotony of the stone. Thursday I didn't play at all, needed a break. Friday through Sunday was the usual shenanigans. Swamp cave runs, hatching lots of eggs, chasing red drops around the northern half of the map. Still nothing. I am honestly starting to get bored playing. I really want to progress and start getting these boss fights done, but without a saddle bp I'm totally stuck. It's frustrating and slowed gameplay down to a crawl after I devoted so much of my time to getting set up for it. I'm even on my second round of rex leveling, about halfway done pushing every boss rex to 600 melee damage. I got tired of it and spent a significant amount of time on my spino doing laps around the map for anything interesting. Finally got a decent weight theri, took it up to the volcano path and came home with almost more rare flowers than my bird could carry. Got another allo too. Still need a good female before I can start breeding them. Just knocking off smaller goals and projects here and there to break up the routine. Got another round of muts on the rexes, we're now officially at 5 each, putting each stat 10 levels above my tamed base. Not that impressive, but fun for me to compare to my clean rexes and compare the raw values. It's an increase of something like 50 melee and over 2k hp over the original base. Plus I got this as my new breeding male for melee: From moldy pea soup to proto-Alpha, I like it. Still, I feel like I'm running out of things to do. I have tons of projects I want to do, but I've been holding back on most of them because I want to progress through the maps first, get that all sorted out, then pick a map to settle my true main base on and go from there. It will most likely be here on The Island simply because to me this map is 'home' but I don't deny the possibility that I'd like another map better and would end up there instead. I've played on almost all of them, but none as extensively as here. I'm almost considering, once I make it to Extinction and do as much as I can there, to pod up whatever animals I want and wipe all previous map bases, almost like I was gone for so long my bases decayed like the ruins you see scattered around, and then start fresh on the maps with my hopefully fully ascended character. But none of this will come to pass if I can't get that stupid saddle bp. Relying on RNG sucks and is imo poor gameplay design. That was why I used to use the upgrade station mod, I'd rather invest a ton of resources into a guaranteed result than continue wasting my time for dozens of trash bps and gear that gets pitched straight into the grinder.

  17. There was also an issue of loading the considered stats correctly, so probably you have to set the stats again to the ones you are interested in (usually HP, St, We, Dm). For that settings see in the library at the bottom left, choose the tab called `Stats` (you might have to click on the small arrow to the right), select the desired stats and click on `Apply` at the bottom.

  19. The Sunken Forest on Extinction was most likely a prototype version of Aberration before it sunk into the ground, similar to how the other two domes are prototypes of SE and the snow biome on the Island. Hence, the proto-Aberration might have housed the (man-made) reapers and rock drakes we end up seeing in the official Aberration, similar to how the desert dome houses the morellatops, a SE creature. So, when that proto-Aberration sunk into the ground, it must have taken down the shield surrounding it, allowing the reapers and rock drakes within to escape into the wastelands. This would explain the existence of the both the normal and corrupted reapers and rock drakes. The surviving vegetation from the proto-Aberration would later go on to blossom into the Sunken Forest we know today.

  20. Hmmm, well I don't really know about the guy but legit videos for 2+ years as you say does lend a lot to his claims I agree. But even then, the fact that it can't be reproduced and that even Ced said it's fake makes me not want to believe it. I'll play devil's advocate though, when I went and tested, it was on a test singleplayer world. I suppose it might have something to do with your ascension level, worth checking out later.

  21. Lol, if you'd just go and make all area underneath the official map structure cause severe burning damage that ignores armor, kinda like the surface of Aberration meshing would end forever.
