  1. I'm building my base in Ragnarok, after flying with the Argy all the map searching for a place to live. Finally i found a place in the cliffs of Vegurs Chasm. I think it will be good, i only need to transerf some farmer crestures and i will be ok

  2. Whew, what a wild night I had. So I didn't end up playing at all yesterday. That means when I got home today I rushed my boss prep. Basically just threw together whatever I still needed, packed it all up with lots of ammo, soups, med brews, grabbed my cryopods and flew up to the volcano. Not going to lie this was by far the most frustrating part. Positioning all my rexes just so and then still having them get stuck at the entrance to the Tek cave. I should have been able to get around 40 rexes in but I actually ended up with about 25, because one rex tripped and furballed the entire following line. By the time I got that sorted I didn't have enough time to grab the other group. Too late to turn back now obviously so we pressed forward. Single player doesn't have a time limit past the door so I took my time. I walked one lead rex through the cave clearing a path and then brought my two battle lines down one at a time following. The cave itself wasn't hard, except I lost 5 rexes to poor pathing. 3 of them died to the lava. 2 somehow fell on a rock in the lava so they're stuck unless I cheat my way over to rescue them. So aggravating to lose extremely well raised animals to poorly designed gameplay. I determined the issue is because if a rex stops to poop it will bunch up the line behind it so when it runs to catch up to the rex in front it won't path the way it should, causing pileups that end up with rexes falling off ledges. At least I didn't lose the yutys or the pig. Yet. Funnily enough I wasn't really scared of the giga at the entrance to the portal. Didn't quite get him to fall into the lava on his own so I pushed him in with my rex. We've sure come a long way from drowning them with an argent. Could have taken him if I wasn't concerned about losing the whole line into the very hot drink. Anyway we made it through to the teleporter with a relatively small force. I didn't have high hopes for this but too late to turn back now, right? So we pressed on. Put the yutys on auto roar, pig on passive healing, and charged into the fray. What a long, intense, desperate fight this is after the long slog through the cave. The rexes were slow, their progress constantly impeded by the annoyance of the Defense Units. They are powerful and bulky but unable to engage at speed, drawing the battle out much longer than it would have been with therizinos or allos. We were doing well until the first dragon change, but then I lost one yuty, then the other. Then the pig. The rexes started to fall one by one, including the one I had ridden through the cave and had started to grow attached to. If he had lived he would have earned a real name and a Tek saddle. Rest well Omega 2, you were a champion. I got the Dragon twice. More rexes were falling, all were bloody now. I was starting to debate the merits of using my Tek armor and taking on the Overseer solo. Whittling away its energy with tired, heavy rexes. Wading through a sea of Defense Units, frustrated and desperate to get through them. Dismounted again and again by the beams. The ape again, then broodmother. We absolutely can't tank the dragon another round. Then the message pops up. The Overseer has fallen. Victory! Bloody and exhausted, we've nonethless won the day. Calming down while the credits roll, reveling in a hard won victory, the culmination of a year's steady grinding. And then logging back in to do a few things before moving forward. First, heading back to the volcano to recover the sad remnants of a proud fighting force. I had maybe 6 rexes left, all of them very bloody. Surprisingly, most of the survivors were actually some of my oldest rexes, the 2nd and 3rd gens. I think 2 of the Omegas survived. I also picked up the rexes that didn't make it through the door. Between all of them and the rexes that never left base, and the original first gen rexes, I have more than enough for the Manticore. Not that I'm transferring anything yet. These are my personal "Ultimate Ark" rules: once I tame a wild dino on the next map, I may transfer any of that species from previous maps. Yes, it's not as "authentic" but I just spent a year on The Island, I am absolutely not starting over with brand new bloodlines. Unlike Syntac I'm not getting paid for this either lol. I think that's a fair balance between being challenging without sacrificing previous achievements. I am debating the rule being once I can make a transmitter, but that would mean defeating the Manticore once for the element and I don't know if I feel up to doing that from scratch. Although I will likely do it on gamma to get a feel for the fight since I've never set foot on Scorched before so..hm. We'll see, I have plenty of time to work it out. For now, a well earned rest is in order. Tomorrow I will be starting completely fresh and clean on Scorched Earth.

  4. Today I continued to declutter the base by taking down the quetz trap (I got a male, I got a female, far as I'm concerned I have no need to be ready to catch any more quetzals!), freezing the three unleveled crystal wyverns, leaving me with just Bloodwind, Skysoul and Wildfire staying unfrozen, and installing a second cryofridge, because I was starting to run out of space in the first one, seeing as I now have quite a lot of adult dinos podded. Also, tamed a pair of lystros. High-level (wild levels 145 and 150). Gonna breed them, but anything that doesn't have an interesting color mutation will be killed right after hatching.

  5. Streaming taking my tek rex to 1/2 burnt island slaughtering dinos there then swimming across ocean with it killing bunch of sharks and piranha and crafting some cryopods and green obelisk before heading back to base and hopping off.

  6. (Posts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5) As expected, today's events went much more smoothly. Well... smoothly as in, there was no real loss other than time. It took so long, but I finally managed to track down a lv 135 black and red event griffin. I was so excited! I nearly have it at my trap, but it loses interest and I figure that I need to get stamina anyway, so I make note of where it's at and then I land. I go back to find it and... it's vanished. I look and look and look and look and... it's just nowhere. After 30 minutes or so of fruitless searching, I admitted defeat and headed back to lure away a 130 griffin I had spotted hanging out with it. This one didn't have any notable colors but was a higher level like I wanted. I noticed that it appeared to be stuck, so I thought what the hell, I'll just knock it here. Nope... It didn't budge the entire time until I got it high enough in torpor that it started to run. Then I couldn't land anymore shots on it. Had to admit defeat and lure it back to the trap. After a grueling hour or so long struggle to get it to the trap and lure it inside, I finally manage to lock it in and knock it. So, in the end, I did get my new griffin - a paler brown with dark gray wings. Their name is Nightfall, in reference to the very first griffin I ever had on a private server between friends. I put them in cryo to gain levels. I also added tons of turrets and put some bullets in them. It's still not fantastic, but it'll definitely do for now, and eases my anxiety some while I continue to work to get set up. I think tomorrow I'm going to tame a castoroides, thorny dragon, or mammoth so getting wood is a little easier on me and then I'll just hammer away at base defense for a while. Well, I do intend to pause at some point to make sure to get a couple of backup griffins, because taming a griffin without already having one is such a pain. The griffin was mostly so I could continue to travel to SE to get silica pearls for easy, quick electronics. Note to self, though, make sure to clear out any threats long before trying to upload stuff while standing on the griffin... Anyway, today we welcome Nightfall to the fold!

  7. Lilmill I play single player or with my daughters on our own server. Playing PVP with a bunch of griefers is no fun. If you want to play with others on official. try the PVE ones. Those are not bad.

  8. I don't play PvP so I can't speak for that, but I can say that if the PvE server I am on, and have been for a year, I would most definitely just quit playing. I've been building and trying to improve for the whole time. Too much work to lose. I can understand the PvP players would want this however, based on the comments here.

  9. its funny that people with a low post count want a wipe, and people with a high post count dont want a wipe. new players will always want a wipe, that will never change, they want to start equal with all the others. 90% of the starters only play this game for a few weeks upto a few months, and there would be more people that want a wipe because there will always be more starters then established players. this is why it is extremely hypocritical and mean to ask for a wipe because statistics say that you are not even here anymore after 3 months. some dinos like tuso mosa and basilo take 1.5 years where they are now, they are op, but they are not even close to max possible. you want to wipe this work.

  10. It would be if you could use any of the content. It would help to know when they’ll fix things instead of adding more broken pieces
