Worked a bit on my solo ascension series on Aberration. Tamed one of my best anky since I started the game in EA. A 135 female which came out at 370% dmg post-tame. To make matters ever better, her very first baby hatched with a dmg mutation (380%). Also tamed a 145 crab. Reaper cloning is coming along very well. In terms of video recording, I did : Full gamma tek cave run (±35 mins) legit, solo. Gamma Overseer (±10 mins), solo. Both are yet to be published as the tek cave alone takes a whopping 13 GB. Cheers!

PVE-Official-TheIsland Spent the better part of the day raising babies, 12 Velon, and 7 807 melee base Rexes, 3 rollrats. Constantly going out for meat runs through the day and collecting bones and any scarecrows I could find. A Friendly tribe who I had given 150k hide to a few weeks back gave me a stack of bones, and with the ones I had found myself I was able to craft my tribemate the event emotes as he had given up trying to get the items after countless hours of hunting and never finding one bone dino, so he will have a nice suprise when he comes online. All the Velon are between 50 / 75 percent done, and fully imprinted, the rexs also varying from 50-85% done but a couple look like im not going to get a full imprint on, but thats okay they'll still be good boss rexs and potential breeders for the 1007's I have waiting to be raised. doesn't seem like much, but i feel like I accomplished quite abit today on the island, I would of raised them on Valguero but our server is still having issues sense the patch.

Xbox - singleplayer. Got back to the island, but not before the event started, in a mad panic I managed to craft 4 cryofridges and enough cryopods to almost fill 3 of them, had to pool the resources of 3 bases to do it though, and finally proved to the wife that (sometimes) hoarding is a good and valuable thing to do. Got most of my dinos safely into storage at the hatchery by green ob and then tamed some more dinos, have almost filled 1 fridge with argents, and collected some loot from the spooky piles which all despawned, so that was a waste of time. Took my battle argy out scouting for the dodorex, not to engage just to see the beast for myself, flying over some trees the music kicks in so I dive slowly into the treeline. As I break through the canopy my torch breaks and at that exact moment dodorex lurches from the right and takes a bite at me, jump scare moment of my life, I bank left and flee the scene crossing a river and landing on a cliff to heal and see if he gave chase. He did, but now he is stuck in the water and can't climb out over the banks, so I start straffing runs and after a few or more stamina stops the beast fell on the edge of the river. I eagerly open the dropped loot bag to discover garbage, I get better loot from alpha raptors, not even a dodorex mask skin. That was all pre-update, post update adventures coming later.

PS4 - Unofficial Cluster Spent most of my Friday night on Valguerro, I expanded my base there, by building vertically, adding room for a 2nd level if wanted, and a roof. I parked my Reapers and Wyverns on the roof. While I was building this, I also raised up a couple of event colored frost wyverns from the Valentines event. (I have so many dino babies sitting in cryopods, ugh!) I also built a hatchery and gathered resources to craft 22 AC units, which should allow me to hatch Drake eggs in it. I'm one of those players who rarely ever throws out resources, instead, whenever I return to base, I load any chitin, stone, flint, crystal, oil, etc into my storage or replicator. It sure helps down the road, when I need to craft bigger ticket items, as I normally have most everything I need. of course being on a boosted cluster doesn't hurt either. I then set up a cooking station so I could create all the dye I needed, and eventually painted the base and hatchery black. I then spent too much time trying to find scarecrows. I found plenty of pumpkins and gravestones, but the scarecrows seem to be very rare. I did also manage to kill 4 bone Brontos, 2 bone stegos and 2 bone trikes. no luck finding a bone, raptor, rex, carno or Giga, though someone in chat said they had just killed a bone giga. but even with killing nearly 10 bone dinos, I still only had about 55 bones! yikes, it will take forever to craft these emotes and skins.

Wait what, a zombie saber in the banner? Was thinking there would be a skin for it but can't find it anywhere...

PC Official PVE: Waiting for the Transfertimer ? I did since yesterday a lot trades and spend a lot time to wait till i can Transfer to Servers in and out. Still some Trades not done yet ? I have a lot Babies now which i want to raise, but idk atm where i will Raise them ?. My "old" Base on Rag is to small for that amount i fear and my new base dont have atm Tek Generator or Tek Troughs. Its tbh atm inside empty because i need first to think where and how i place all. Except that i want to collect some Event Items because i want the Skins and Emotes. I want to tame some high level event Griffins too, so its a lot to do like always. THAT ARK. ?

Don't give tames, give the tools to get tames - tranqs, kibble, etc. Maybe decent tools too, better pick, axe, bow, etc. Those and advice are all you can give without really disrupting their gameplay.

When I first started I jumped in the server that I'm in now and someone was super awesome and gave me a Pteranodon and that thing has made all the difference for me and I still have it (surprisingly) Back on subject I figured out that I have been using the wrong dino to gather materials. was using an anky to get get rocks and was fine with getting the metal but I'm so full on flint its stupid. Switched to my Doedi and holy cow that's why I tamed this thing originally but forgot how good it was!! got what I'm guessing is half the walls done around my base and will finish the rest of them tonight and I should be safe to go outside again at night.

I give newbies a task to complete before giving them dinos. 3 spino sails or a box full of flint, something like that. 9/10 don't complete the task. I used to give stuff away quite a bit, but got tired of raiding the abandoned bases a few days later to take back my stuff after they quit.

So... newbies. To help or not to help. There is a new girl on the server, always asking questions - always polite. I have always helped new players, given them tames to give them a little lift and last night was no exception, a born 275 Ptera and a 150 Event Purple and Green Clone Wyv. I left them to it whilst put out my Gigas I had no intention of raising (2x485s and 1 x535) as my delivery of 615MD hasnt arrived from a friend yet - thought I may as well raise them as back ups so I can say at least I did something with the 2x rates etc. Tribemate popped on, saw the messages from newbie and was like 'Ive given up helping newbies as it takes away their experience and they always lose whatever I give them within an hr anyway'. Low and behold, I see a message an hr later that they have lost their Ptera and Wyv... the question is, have I made their game a lot less enjoyable as they now believe they have lost something so important to them - but was it really that important? Maybe I shouldnt give them tames, but I always do... any thoughts?

Had a funny bug moment. The dodorex moon image started showing up every night and the meteor shower was coming out of the ground shooting into the sky,was hilarious.

Kill skeleton dinos to get bones.

Honestly all I want is the DodoTitan The day it gets added to ark is the day everyone dies.

YEEEAAAA DUDE!!!! HEADLESS PEOPLE TEAMMMM!!!

its gonna be the pvp META skin too , hard to get head shot when you have no head. also can head peak easier now too

I think a 'Machete Skin' for the sword would've been cool. And (temporarily) changing the color of the obelisks to red, orange, and yellow to match the color of the season.

These mysterys. "Oh look here is a low resolution blob. Try to guess what it is, just so you get yourself hyped about our game" I am done with these mysterys. Evey stinking one has been more Tek looking junk. Yes I love my Tek suit, but all this Tek crap is frustrating. I think the Tek gravity grenades were a sign that all "Tek" stuff is not worth the element. Please don't give us anymore blurry images of stuff. Just give us a few details.

This is called a dock. From what I've gathered it's like a raft on steroids.
