Xbox SP, The Island Not a problem, because in the past week, I finally, FINALLY found two high(ish) levels. They aren’t anywhere near max level, but I also have yet to see anything higher, so I’ll settle. Yesssss... finally have my boss and snow cave cave mount. I’m in the process of breeding now. Since losing my basilo in the cave, I felt really demoralized. I really didn’t feel like yuty or theri breeding (I’m also new to it which sucks) so I started doing feel-good tasks around the base. Things I could easily accomplish that would make my life instantly better; - I killed all my egg-laying dinos, destroyed the pen and made one especially for yuty egg farming. I never thought I’d be DROWNING in special eggs lol. - I went to slaughter some penguins and made a huge amount of really good ghillie armour. - I redecorated the house and made room for breeding indoors - I made extra cryofridges and cryopods so I can more easily separate and organize my dinos. Also cleared up the house by putting lots of dinos into cryo. Then I started to get bored. So I made gunpowder. Still bored, so I made various types of ammo. Then, there I am, stashing things into my caving vault, and I say SCREW IT. WE’RE DOING A CAVE! I needed a pick-me-up after losing basil. So I picked a cave I knew I was good at, the lava cave, and crushed it. No drama 😄 One could say I was on a roll, because after getting back from the lava cave, I immediately started loading up gas masks. Yup, I was gonna try the swamp cave again. I got the artifact last time, but barely survived. After re-supplying, I grabbed my best argy and headed south to the swamp cave. While flying over the mountain in the redwoods, I spot an alpha rex. I take him down with the argy and while I’m picking through our inventories to drop stuff, I get THYLA’D. Oh. My. God. I’m about to lose my best and only imprinted argy, I’m thinking, as I stood there stunned. I whistle furiously to my bird to attack, and together we kill the thyla. In the chaos, I hadn’t realized that a saber had also joined in. So we kill that too but at this point I’m so hurt that I can’t move. Whistle, whistle, whistle for my bird to come get me, but he keeps missing and there’s a pack of allos is headed my way. On Merlin’s 5th pass over my head I finally manage to actually mount him, and we escape. So all in all, a pretty good series of events compared to my last post. I got 2 spare artifacts, some blueprints, a spare MC rifle which was nice and a few levels on my caving bary, Ghillie. Ghillie earned himself a painted saddle so I spent some time making it just right. Quite literally the only thing I have left now is breeding. There is nothing else in life for me right now but getting this done. I could try a boss fight if I had an army. I could try the snow cave if I had an imprinted yuty. It’s time to get good at breeding.

You roll out events and stupid updates that does idiotic QoL poop we dont need, but fixing the bugs, glitches and other game breaking stuff, nooo thats none of ur concern. This game is slowly turning into a real crap game. We still here only because we spent so muvh time amassing what we have, despite Wildcard tearing it down at every opportunity they get. Well, raptor you guys, fix your game and stop doing lame ass events where ppl ends up beeing unable to play the game for several days out of the event time. Hire someone who actually knows how to write proper code, and ban those exploiters to kingdom come. Set connection limit to 100 ping, anyone above that should NOT be able to connect! Learn from others games peeps, quit beeing stupid.

The island server our main base is on is constantly crashing ever since the evetn started. I had hoped it would be better today, since weekend is over, but nope 😕 it crashed right on the second when some argy eggs hatched; I refreshed the server list like crazy and immediately logged in when it came back up, to find my nursery empty. Naturally, I assumed all babys were starved - until I noticed a red font below my feet: turns out the newly hatched argies were still alive, but had somehow sunken into the foundations. So I started to tear out foundations, and in the process, destroyed a few air conditioners as well Still was too late for half of the argy babies - they died just as I was about to claim them. But that's ok, because after checking their bodies, I saw that they had not inherited the weight stat I bred for. I decided to cryo the survivers and flee from the server, because I could just feel the next crash coming. On CI, I then flew around looking for a valentine rex or a high level female giga (any colour will do), but all gigas were clearly hiding and all the event colored rexes I saw were extremely ugly, so I had to kill them to put them out of their misery. I then tamed a lavender 150 megatherium, for no special reason - I just liked its color. Finally, I went to genesis and put some of those magmasaur eggs me & my buddy stole yesterday into the nursery. I hatched five eggs, and one of them actually is event colored, and also lvl 150 😍. Now I am more happy than ever that I farmed up all those mats for a nursery + tek through on genesis last week, because with my island server constantly crashing, I sure would not want to raise that magma over there. Meanwhile, the genesis server has been surprisingly stable...

My magamasaurs on the island finally reached 100% maturation. Finally! Today I found the time to test them out. I had been super lucky last week, and received an 120 armor saddle from a mission on genesis, so we were ready to go. I was not disappointed. The magma, to me, is way more fun to ride than an anky... Its so much faster, and smallish predators leave you alone. Plus, since its so big & you can stand in its saddle, you can put an argy on follow and easily move the resources to its inventory without dismounting. I attempted to ride the magma up to the volcano, to harvest some obsidian & crystal, but I did not make it there - I filled my argy with so much metal on the way there that I had to turn around. I think the days where we're in constant need of metal are finally over 🤩. (Of course, the current event helps a lot, with the boosted harvesting :D) I also saw a gorgeous rex in lavender and dark purple. Those colors look really good on that dino. Unfortunately, the server crashed right after I saw it, and afterwards it was of course gone. If I find the time during the event, I might try to hunt for one with similar colors. Later, my buddy & me decided we would try to tame a ferox. We went to the ferox cave, cleaned out the polar bears and wolves, and looked for a high level one. We found a lvl 150 male, unfortunately not in event colors, and decided to tame it. The server was lagging really badly, and we had trouble with the whole "grapple to the ceiling" technique - most of the time, the crossbows would not shoot anything, but we still lost a grappling hook each time that happened. After a few tries, the ferox broke our fur armor and killed my buddy. But by that time, we had already fed it several pieces of element, so we really wanted to finish taming it. We decided to move one of our boss rexes next to the ferox, and run to the other side of the rex right after feeding. The transformed ferox would then hit our poor rex' big butt, instead of us. This worked really well, and we successfully tamed the ferox. (In case anyone else wants to sth like this: the rex had a 100 armor saddle and still lost about 15k life during the whole process, so you can't just do this with low level dino and a primitive saddle) Right after we tamed it, a lavender female 130 appeared, but we did not have enough element left to tame it 😕. Oh well. I then dragged my buddy to the magmasaur cave, in hopes of getting an event colored one. I saw several nice pink and purple magmas in the cave - too bad you can't tame those... But we took several eggs, and I have high hopes for those eggs. My buddy then decided it was enough ark for today, and to go to bed. I wanted to try one more egg stealing attempt, just a quick one, before also logging off. As always in ark, doing something real quick before logging off resulted in total disaster It started with a sever lag that caused me to fall into the lava, righ next to a pissed of magmasaur, and ended roughly 1,5 hours later when I finally managed to safely loot my body and teleport out. I died like 5 times during that time, typically right after picking up my previous body bag. The absolute highlight was when I had to crawl into a magmasaur nest to get close to my body, found a 150 egg in there, and decided I would have it all: I would start the teleport, loot my body and then quickly pick up the egg - after all, what could possible go wrong? - and it would have worked, but when I took the egg the whole nest suddenly despawned from under me 🤨, which has never happened before, I fell into the lava yet again, the teleport was interrupted, and every magma in the cave started shooting fireballs at me. In the end, there was so much equipment in my body bag that I was completely unable to move after looting it. Good thing the teleport function doesn't care about this 😅

Ladies and gentlemen we have a butthurt. I think it need to give a sip of milk to calm down

Ran into the edge of The Island, at sea, and had myself, my tame, and my good crossbow deleted with no chance of recovery.
