(Official, Valguero) Fed dinos. Bred rexes and argies.
(Official, Crystal Isles) Tried to get Devourer and Pack artifacts, but didn't find them.
(Official, Valguero) Claimed rexes and argies. Killed argies because all father's colors. Kept two rexes with father's stats, named both Biter.
And... You see where this is going, yes? The plan is to hatch, and keep, and raise with full imprint 17 more "Biters".
Because I realized that if I keep waiting for 400% melee, I'll never get to use my rexes at all. So, sure, I'll keep trying, but in the meantime I'll get an army of 372.8%-s. And I'll make saddles for them (16 already done). And I'll try to do gamma boss fight. 20 Birds In A Trenchcoat will have to be the yuty for it, I'll give her a good saddle, and as much imprint as I can, and I'll level her health a lot, to make sure that everything would at least have a chance of being alright.
Also, bred tropicals (female, mother's colors, kept). And a giga hatched (female, dad's melee, kept).
...
(Still Official, Valguero) Podded yuties, rexes, allo and the youngest wyvern. Argies left out because they'll be fine and older wyverns - because I'm curious if they'll be fine.
(Official, Crystal Isles) With a GPS (that I sent myself form Valguero, as CI base isn't equipped to craft that) and the artifact coords written down, I found them. I got them. I was flying to get them to a drop or an obelisk so that I can upload them. Server crashed.
Well, at least I now know where to look, so next time it'll be easier to get them. And I was flying high, so my wyvern probably won't try to land, and I'll be able to retrieve him later.
And that's enough ARK for today.
*Oops! Not enough ARK for today. Gotta check on (Official, Extinction). THEN It'll be "enough ARK for today".
...
(Official, Crystal Isles) Since I woke up anyway, decided to check how things are there. The rollback that made me and my wyvern end up low above one of the floating islands instead of high above Fire Swamp was expected - normal thing after a crash. The sound that greeted me in the moments before the loading screen turns into, well, whatever is actually happening in the game, however, was not.
It was the sound of wings.
Of a wyvern.
My wyvern.
On whose back I was standing.
I repeat: I logged on after a server crash that would have normally caused me to plummet to my death STANDING ON MY WYVERN'S BACK.
Awesome.
...
(Official, Valguero) Retrieved artifacts. So, I have saddles, I have tributes and artifacts, I have a set of armor I'll wear, and I have custom recipes for food I'll take with me. Just gotta hatch and raise my army, level it, and I'll be ready.
Speaking of army: bred rexes again - 2 more Biters.
Also: wyverns were fine. All grown. Bred wyverns, got a mutation! On a blood. Vermillion on main. But, unfortunately, oxygen, so killed. Out of the others I kept three with highest food stat, got them out of hatchery, and left them there to grow by themselves.
Oh, and argents! They grew, and I put them and the older ones in a neat little row. And I already bred them, but, unfortunately, all babies were female, and I don't need any more of that, so I kept one with Sophani's colors and killed the rest.
Did a metal run, and an obsidian run. Made a ton of cementing paste.
And that's all for now. Wow. it was a whole lot of ARK.
...
Oh! Forgot another thing: the last missing dimorph returned. So, my swarm is all there, all alive. Cool.
