wow honestly this have gone from trash to just ooo post pics -.- why even have it at this post if theres no info what so ever

Went exploring and got lots of resources. Found some gas veins, and red gem nodes, and gollected a few congealed gas balls, and gems on the way back. Made it to Erdrich Isle and got red, blue, and green gems first, wasn't very deadly. When I was exploring I found two interesting things: first of all, the floating islands have a weird cave system. It's around where the wiki says glowtails and megalainia are found. Saw neither, but based on the terrain features, I'm assuming that's where drakes were in the mod. Secondly, the griffin trench nests have Aberration gems, but as far as I can tell, you can't actually pick them up. Bug or intended? Also got some fungal wood and rare mushrooms, I want lots of mushrooms to make two mindwipes (I have allow unlimited respecs on) so I can get a bunch of crafting skill for a good custom consumable, since with base crafting skill there's no way to get a good one. Then I plan to wipe back to normal. Made a smithy so now I can repair and craft metal tools. Also tamed a bad level fifteen blood wyvern, it's good to have a backup, even if you'll hopefully never need to use it. Crystal wyvern's stamina is better than my griffins. Transferred a thorny dragon, jerboa, and doedicurus from Ragnarok, made a ton of cryopods, cryoed everyone, except my shoulder pet and wyvern and logged off. Tomorrow, I'm going to the floaters, and building a big base.

TLC is still being worked on. Primal Survival was shelved years ago. SotF was shelved years ago and is not coming to console.

Today: hatched two moschops eggs, one inherited higher melee, but no mutation. Since I'm breeding for color, I killed it. Other inherited lower melee, but got a mutation on it, accompanied by a rather pleasant shade of yellow on body. I named her Lemondrop and froze for later. Killed a level 55 alpha rex, did it with Wildfire. Since I already knew the good and safe way of doing so, he only got hurt once, when the rex managed to bite him on the tail. It still took a lot of time, though, because alpha rexes seem to have some sorta "instinct" to run toward the laggiest base around once the opponent proves to be a strong and persistent one, so both getting Wildfire into position to attack AND landing him in a safe area for rest took unreasonably long and often required multiple attempts. Unfroze Empress to use her in breeding again, sure, she's leveled and her initial stats are long since forgotten, but that doesn't matter anyway, since it's only the male's stats that are important. Found a 53 armor rex saddle in a loot crate. Some time ago I also found a 70-something one. Would have preferred a BP, but that's cool too. Raised the quetzals to 44%, filled the trough almos completely with cooked meat, gave them both a stack of basic kibble each, won't have to bother about anything until evening (longer than that, but better remember it as "until evening" so that I don't put it off for so long that the food actually runs out). ... Gave quetzals some more food, and went to tame a pelagornis (fishing, plus I have an awesome pela saddle BP). Took quite a few attempts and at least 60 rare flowers, but I managed to lure a level 145 to the shore, and the rest was easy. The stats were... Well, sorta okay. Though the most wild points went into health. He tamed quickly, I used kibble so the effectiveness was very high. I named him Raf. On the way back to the base I killed some fish with him, and then parked him in one of the empty stalls in my equus stable.

There's just a lot less community facing things to report this week. Every week won't be a heavy news week. There's lots happening in the background that we'll be talking about soon enough though.

Some people enjoy looking at the fan art. Just because there's no news worthy news this week doesn't mean they shouldn't show-off players fan art. If there was no Community Crunch because there was no news then people would complain that there was no Crunch. So it's best all round if the people that enjoy looking at fan art enjoy reading this, and those that aren't interested in the fan art just carry on with what they were doing. At the end of the day there's nothing worth making a mountain out of a molehill here by moaning about it.

Had a much better day today. Got a shack up, and put down a storage box and a mortar and pestle. My crystal wyvern is my new "main mount" since it's much faster and might be able to escape the alpha with the hydrated buff, should we find it again. Tamed a parasaur for security and a morellotops for berries. My crystal wyvern is level seventy-something with much better damage than the griffin. Even though I transferred a bunch of stuff yesterday, today I lived off the land, no transfers. Also spent two whole minutes finding the perfect spot for a refining forge. I still don't think it's perfect but I'll leave it be for now. The shack is just temporary.

Suffered. Not gonna sugarcoat it. Wanted to play CI and died I believe ten or more times (maybe twelve?) trying to reach the green obelisk, before dino wiping to get rid of some annoying raptors. Finally got my griffin from Rag (used my Rag character too) and went exploring for about thirty minutes. In that time I was attacked by a blood crystal wyvern, for seemingly no reason. Not near the hive, so it couldn't have been heir, right? Managed to get it to eat some parasaurs instead. Tamed a tropical too. Tomorrow I want a shack put up, so I'll have a base, even if it's not permanent. Also, if I make a new "tribe" (even though I'm alone) will it mess with dino ownership for when I go back to Ragnarok? Just want to be able to select "tribe owned" to get rid of that annoying "owned by" thing over dino heads, I always think they're following. I really want to play a bit more on The Island at some point, but for now, Crystal Isles is pretty fun. I'll try to find some aberrant or Aberration native dinos. Of course, when I beat the stupid island (and scorched), the real Aberration will be fun. The underground forest on Valguero does have more of an Aberration "feel." Poor Valguero. They lost drakes, reapers, and griffins, and then had a bunch of what they did get stolen by Crystal Isles (I need to stop saying "Aberration," but those creatures are the main thing it lost.) which also has its precious griffins. Edit: Checked the wiki and found the rouge blood was an alpha. Explains the weird particle effect. I wonder if a blood, ember, or tropical is best to eventually take it down. Blood would be immune to its breath...

Today I decided to tame a pair of high-level theries for breeding. The first female I found (135) I had to kill, because my rex got stuck on her in a position that made it impossible to shoot her with any level of accuracy. The second one (140) ate up all of my tranq darts like they were candy, got more health off Nightshade than any alpha rex ever managed (granted, I never fought one higher than level 50 on him, and that one kept running away, but still, pretty impressive), I had to make some tranq arrows instead. Finally, she fell. I'm taming her - too much effort went into knocking her out to just kill her off, but her stats... Here they are on dododex. Behold, a theri that sucks: here it is ... So. The theri is tamed (some time ago, but I didn't feel like writing right away). Her stats have improved somewhat, at least the melee is over 200 now instead of pathetic 160. I got stuck on my way back to the base because of some players whose idea of a base is "find a road framed by some cliffs and close it off from both ends", so I had to put the pods, kibble and everything else into Nightshade's inventory, suicide by punching a rhino who also fell there, and then grab a wyvern to retrieve Nightshade and all the things. I think I'm done playing for today, so making more darts and getting a male high-lvl theri will have to wait for tomorrow... Or for whenever else I feel like doing that.

Got the griffin even more levels, level 136 with good stamina. Tamed a basi, level 55 but with over 11k health. Leveling melee. Don't have SCUBA on Ragnarok yet, that will be great to unlock. I really have lost all faith in The Island. It still haunts me. I thought I would slay the overseer, wander the dunes of Scorched Earth, glide through the depths of Aberration, march boldy across the Wastelands of Extinction, ride an Astrocetus across the lunar landscape of Genesis, and someday claim the ultimate prize: a Terran Ascension Implant. There comes a time in every noobs life where (s)he must move to endgame, I thought I was that noob. I guess I was wrong. Oh, and to rub salt into the wound, my "brother" (if I can even call him that) tamed a 120 megatheirium. And found a 130 yutyrannus. All I need is luck! Which seems to be in short supply...
