  1. Got on for a bit last night, last time I was on i had 5 rexs raising, two of which had my new hp and melee. Logged in to bodybags from all of them, food render glitch Mated my good breeders and hatched two more, crap stats. Oh well! Went out for a fly about, spotted a yellow/blue theriz, 145 male! Tamed that buddy up. Came out with decent melee (343). Mated the theriz with my.females, got my 8k hp to transfer, with the bad melee and the other baby got the good melee and bad hp. I now have two easter bears, both yellow with natural brown on the other side, opposite colour patterns same colours. Mated them up because one of them has 361 melee base. The baby came with all good stats and level 244 Did some base building, im prebuilding a base for when i head to island to start bossing. After I got bored of that, made some eggs to kibble (really need an indy cooker..) and had 8 galli kibble, so I decided to go look for a nice easter beaver. Flew down to green ob beavers and after about an hour of slaying beavers i spotted a 145 easter. Terrible colours, all mismatched and 3 different bright ones (yellow body, magenta stripe and cyan feet) Flew him back to my base and got it knocked out and tamed. Easy peasy with kibble. Did a quick meat run, I dont even bother using a rex anymore.. I just go out with a good imprinted bear and a chainsaw. Got an asc. One from a drop awhile ago. Quick berry run on my easter bronto (blue legs, red body pink top - named "Very Berry") and as im getting back to base I spot an easter rex. Theyve all been terrible levels, after a quick scope its a 130 male cyan top pink bottom. Threw it in pen, ran out if tranqs (oops) made more and got it out with some prime inside. Topped up babies, tamed rex and stripped my gear, set xbox to auto shut down after 4h and sat there as i went to bed. Wasnt letting the glitch get me! Relogged in the morning to make sure. All good.
  2. Haha awesome! My buddies never wanted to do fun stuff outside of "grind for x dino, grind x resource and breed" I dont want to ruin your direbear plan buuuuttt.. movement speed doesnt affect their charge. Only walking speed
  3. Swamp cave is amazing on a bred frog. (Bonus if your wife rides a mate boosted raised version with you) I did no fliers on my island where I bred frogs, had a 400% move speed one too.. oh boy!!! Fun. Only problem is there isnt reduced fall damage. I jumped from volcano and almost made it to obsidian mtn, only to die on impact Hah i cant wait until the weekend.. my wife works a week on and off so during her off time I try to spend as much quality time as possible. Almost back to the week on Edit: Abberation biolume lake gives me the heeby jeebies .. random memory about a frog pen hah
  4. I believe my frog breeding pen was only 3 or 4 walls deep. What i did to ensure no baby deaths was to ceiling on top just below water line, they couldnt even have the option The only time you really need to worry is on Walks.. the egg floats to bottom and you cannot move it (So be ready to raise)
  5. Make sure the water is deep!! I raised frogs for awhile and they like to kill themselves like Mantas
  6. Xbox but same diff Hmm what do you mean? I know of the method you speak, its how i did my no fliers before on official.. but how would i use it here? Sorry im a little hazey this morning
  7. Did a few batches of rex eggs today and a few dimorph eggs. With last nights rex tame I got a new HP (9,900) Few babies with the male and got my first rex mutation this line, Light Purple body. New rex stats (once they combine fully) 9.9k hp, 1.7k stam, 12.6k food, 331 melee, 790 weight after imprints they sit around 11k hp 370~¿ melee and leveled to 20-30k hp 450-550 melee. Raised 3 rexs earlier got 4 raising now (10x breed on UO) thatll put my rex count to over 20. 18 bossers and 5 breeders. Need to hunt better stats and switch to Theriz. Should i collect artifacts on rag or island? Tamed a few more easter eggers and a nice 150 pure light red mammoth (more like brick colour, not the bright deep christmas red) and a pure green 150 frog. No luck with any good leveled easter argys My dimorph stats suck, getting funky colours though, my female was yellow green (base black body) and male was magenta, cyan, green so after a fee gens ill post a pic haha
  8. Okay thanks man! I was kind of thinking Green Ob area! Glad to hear an opinion, I always stayed away from Green Ob on official! Im just trying to keep the flow going. I cant transfer element and I plan to have one place where i can actually use Tek.. never really did on officials. itll have to be rag! I cant transfer element (nor get all tekgrams there) so ill have to do a little admining for that. Ill justify it by having to collect the element on Island and transfer over until my rag char can knock out the double boss Edit: Thats one big flaw with my storymode im realizing.. Theres no way to utilize one character for the whole thing using both servers.. Im just going to have to have some RP split personality matrix thing going on haha.. ill keep rag (main play) and SP (Island bosser / story char) both at the same progression engram-wise (tekgrams) and just do most of my real playing in Rag. Thankyou @yekrucifixion187 for the musings and indirectly helping me shape my story haha.
  9. I love reading about your start up! The early ark is my favorite. Getting that first tame to get metal, first fab, fridge and useful tames. I feel after 4k hours I always go too far through that part! Got on a bit last night, before I start ive been thinking of starting my boss progression soon. The way im going to do it, will be starting fresh on the Island with a themed character, once said character has progressed past the electrical stage (roughly level 75~ with 0.75x exp for longer mid stage) I will end the theme (unless im really enjoying it) and start bosses. Ive got enough rexs and theriz on my main play that i can easily knock out up to med brood/ape and easy dragon. I will have a breedathon beforehand of course, for more rexs. Now; my Island theme is going to be no fliers. That being said, I could use some help here. Two things: One, where should I make my base? Needs to be close to an Ob for ease of transfer / bosses, no fliers so material transport is going to be a burden and it needs to support an endgame lifestyle when needed. Im willing to build outposts for material if needed and will eventually have tek items for transfer / QoL. (Wont be till after boss stage) Two: I cant decide which server to do it on. I have an unofficial rented (console remember) which my Rag is on and of course Single Player. Im using my current SP rag as extra storage / breeding if need be and my current rag unofficial is also breeding / taming event dinos (cause .ini changes) Now, should i host island on server and use rag for storage until im ready for bosses? Or should I progress on SP and keep rag on unofficial for the taming / breeding (persistant world) and do my SP for bosses? I dont want to cluster another server to my rented, and can transfer freely between SP and UO (my new term for Unofficial) Back to the story. Last night i started on UO rag, after transferring some more stuff from SP. My goal was to breed a bear for a decent dps dino and tame some more easterinos. Bear birthed with OK stats, went off in search of some dinos. Im only going to tame high level easter dinos for use and easter eggers (much like cymas did) As im flying around, throw an easter stego (135) parasaur (150) and phiomia (50) into pens. I have a huge taming pen system attached to my walls in this base. Those tame up as I do a few mat runs, more walls doors and some ingots for future use. On a metal trip I see a 140 male easter dimorph, had the stuff on me now (and bolas) got it tamed up with cooked mutton. See a 135 easter bronto, a 140 male rex (normal) and a 130 easter giga!!! I dont normally like Gigas but easter! I go back to base, make a fee hundred tranq arrows and start with the bronto. Get him out and starving, head to the rex. Get him out inna good spot, starving. Now the giga.. i had 10x metal dino gates already made fromthe metal runs I was doing, made a small horseshoe, kited the giga in and almost died getting it trapped. Ive solo tamed a few gigas in my days, I had a 360% asc xbow so just sat down, started tranqing. After almost 100 arrows he went down. At this time I have: 135 bronto, 140 rex and that 135 stego knocked out. Stegos almost done, check up on bronto and rex, meat up berry up and taming starts. Get some more narc berry from the base. As i fly over the giga, land to throw berries in him.. he wakes up. Doh!! Never seen a quetz squack so fast. All the tames were in green obb valley (Hidana) I had to much on my plate, i decided to let the giga stay penned up and ill kite it later. After that fiasco i got all the tames to base, topped up troughs and went to check on the giga to decide if ill tame it. Hes blue top and yellow bottom. Flying over to the Giga, I spot a yellow and red bear. 145 male! I ditch the giga and drop the bear in a pen, tranq out, went and chomped a hive with my rex for some honey and dropped it in.The giga despawned Its getting late now and after the bear I just head to bed. Woah, that turned out long.
  10. Haha I ended up doing that. After my mild frustration i had to help my wife with something then went back got a few bola and got it
  11. @Aushegun dont forget about platform limit mulitplier its defauly 1.0 and 2, 3 effectvley double and triples it. I have a rex transport platform for when I need, handy. Lucky for me my base is at the obby (or rather, the flat plains beside it) Got on for a few hours last night, started the long process of transferring all my stuff from.SP rag to my unofficial rag. After a few trips i simply spawned in a transmitter and plopped it in the middle of the SP base, make things even easier. 10 trips later (i had a lot of items / bps) Most of it is on my Unofficial. I decided to only bring my main breeders & farm tames / fun mounts and leave the rest in the stasis safetey of SP until I need to do bosses. Still have 9 rexs and 8 theriz on SP.. After spending about 2 hours back and forth from Ob i went out on my quetz to see if i cant tame a few easter dinos before bed. Happened across a 145 male theriz, brought it back to base and knocked it out. Awhile later it tamed up (perfect, the wife and I had to do a few things) and only after taming did i realize its actually easter coloured It has that light red stripe on back and yellow belly. The main colour was a normal brown so i didnt even notice! I went to grab a red drop close by and saw a easter dimorph, further inspection it was a 145 f, yellow and green (eat your heart out @Aushegun ) My wife happened to walk in as im running around trying to shoot the little bugger. Shes laughing as each shot keeps not registering she doesnt understand the hitbox issue Got him pretty much perfect tamed and took my prize back home to log for the night! Been rewatching Game of Thrones on Bluray, only watched the series illegally on stream sites so its sooo nice in HD with headphones!
  12. Ehh its just a little RP Also keeps me attached and inspired to the location. My last unofficial I was Lake Vogues Goods Co. Specilized in trading premade indy forges (i love farming ingots)
  13. Also tells you when you press select (on xb, one of the middle buttons ps4) Ill usually name my tribe after the place i build! I love that Ragnarok has a lot of cool RP names
  14. Ahhh okay, my friend had a huge castle there on my last unofficial , I like that place. Close to metal, oil pumps, 5x griff spawns within render, redwoods near for easy wood etc My only complaint about green ob area is.. the sunset/rise! That area gets less sun because the mountains around it, really annoying. When its turning dusk the shade line from day / night moves with you, really bugs me. So much so ill stop and wait for night or day whichever
  15. Sounds like your base is near mine I havent gotten on my server for more than 20 minutes this week, real bummed but maybe this weekend! Got on the other night to my griffin and doed on server almost starved! I forgot about the persistant world ha ha.
  16. I think you meant to post in the "Why do you play ark thread"
  17. I cannot wait for tlc2 for us console pleebs!!! I want that argy tlc and charging trike !!!! The countdown begins.. 1.5h until im freeeee
  18. Nice place! I like the simplicity One word of caution with off site breeding though.. you need to watch for the stasis glitch on dinos. Sometimes when raises are stasis during the majority of the raise when you re render them all the food drain catches up at once and they die. Most prevalant during overnight raises, during play sessions it isnt an issue usually. Short one for me, got on for an hour, did a small bit of building and got off
  19. Thats funny! I was just right before i came on lunch talking about that show. Buddy at work is trying to get me into it. I figured i was done for the night last night but got on for a few hours after. I started by logging in naked, afraid and hungry with that easter ptera near me. Ill have to get used to persistant worlds again Excited!! I made it to red ob, grabbed some carrots along the way and went to retrieve Aeries (inspirational name for a mythical flying creature .. i know!) And took off towards Green Ob. I decided ill stay in the same area as my SP rag.. I like it and its right beside an ob. So unofficial thankfully works the same as SP with transfers, so im able to bring my dinos back and forth with no stupid upload timers or expiry on things stored in ab Ob (yay!) Flying around is so much nicer. No constant freezes every render zone, all the textures are loaded in properly.. looks great! Im no longer worried about my own limtations and can start breeding my laggmaster base & army required to progress in the game. Spotted a few nice easter tames along the way, decided id stop and knock out any nice easter tames along the way, didnt get distracted much (except for a green & yellow ptera) and made it to Green. I told myself I would just recreate my base on SP using creative mode, started out with the walls. Since im on a persistant server, I decided I needed a safe spot to park my prize griffin. I changed the design up a bit, still used dino gates as walls..lazy. Incorperated 3 taming pens (xlarge, large and med) into the walls of perimeter. This took longer than I planned and was way too tired. After work today I get a couple hours and I expect 99% of that will be flying around looking for a sweet easter tame .. not even going to lie to myself. Good thing i brought taming supplies with me. The rest of the time will be spent slowly going SP - Unofficial bringing tames over.
  20. Yes you can! In settings i can enable vday or easter Was flying around and saw soo many easter dinos. Was like a kid in a candy store, I love these colour events ! (YES! I can keep easter going even though the official event is over :3) Edit: Too bad youre on ps4 @Aushegun
  21. Thanks! I learnt that I can transfer from my SP to Nitrado and vice versa, rented a server and threw it on Ragnarok. For now ill slowly transfer my main farming there! Just rented it a few hours ago, need to adjust rates and all that. Might just make it the island, havent decided yet. Rates will be low though. Longevity. Had a decent day on SP Rag. Started out farming a bit, got some premade stone pieces made, farmed a few thousand ingots, prepped a second farming base for Desert Metal spawn. Took my imprinted bear, a bunch of taming supplies, food, premade base etc out headed towards the desert. I already have a shack built housing my spare griffin for drop running. Plan is to bring the bear out there to farm deathworms and set up a mining hut at the best rag metal spawn Get to the metal cave pretty easily. Nice run through, ive never really been here. Set up a small hut inside the cave and was planning to run to the other side of the desert where my drops shed is. As i step outside a 140 yuty is spotted, I throw up a quick taming pen and get it knocked out (with a hilarious few times running off scared) After i fill it up with prime, head off to the other spot to park the bear and drop off my extra set of gear for the desert. The yuty tames up nicely and I bed port back to base. Went out and tamed a 145 frog, and went searching for another yuty. After over an hour i settle for a 120 and head back to base. I spent the rest of my time testing my new server, first fresh spawn i spotted a green easter ptera :)! Im going to like this..!
  22. Im a little conflicted. Im starting to feel the effects of playing my playthrough on SP. Since im console, I know the box can only handle so much before it corrupts (and its getting there) I plan to put a lot more time into this extended story.. im only on phase 1 of 4. Once im done on rag having my bloodlines set i will be moving to island to start the ascension process. That will take some strain off once i transfer some dinos there.. but its enevible even there.. The spawn mechanics for SP servers are starting to get to me too.. if i farm the canyon i have to physically sit there for 45 mins for it to respawn (even if i set to 5 or 10 mins.. i still need to sit there) dinos only spawn in areas i render etc. Should I rent a nitrado server and do my ascension there? I cant afford to host 3 maps.. so i cant really transfer dinos like i was plannign to (and can) in SP.. Id also have to respawn in most of my tames to start up there, as im deep into this now and a fresh start will demotivate me. I can host 2, for awhile (atleast to use as a buffer transfer for ascension island - SE - Abb) Id make the tames close to my stats now.. but it still feels cheaty Torn!
  23. Yesterday was a very successful day! Had all day to play so got a lot of breeding in, a butt load of imprints (rngesus and my small kibble farm are working together) refined my rex line a bit and even got a new line going I started off the morning with getting a few imprints on my new rex, got a male with the 8.8k hp and 313 melee, trying to get it into twins. He was almost done so I took off on my quetz with some good fur, lots of food, tranqs, a prebuilt taming structure and some other goodies to find a good 150 megatherium. As im flying near canyon I see a 150 female bear, cant pass that up so i drop in my taming pen, head to a bee hive nearby and quetz plat up to it. As im getting near, I grab some honey, bees come out.. I look and it appears i can grab more! So I do. More? Sure! More??? Ok! ... The nests were stack spawned!! Suddenly im swarmed with a cloud of bees, my full armour suit breaks in a matter of seconds in this laggy tornado ive unleashed. I cant mount my quetz, cant even more or see anything! My 400hp was drained 2 seconds after all my armour broke. I ran back, thankfully quetz was fine and I was 35 honey richer! Tame up that bear, comes out crap hp, weight but 366 melee! My rex is done, I pop some more eggs and get them onto juvi, some more 8.8khp but the melees arent passing to the highest (313 and 303) I head back out to find some Megatherium. I flew all through the redwoods area near canyon, through all snow by blue, through all murder snow, the entire redwoods biome... 2 hours later of just flying (and a few bedhops for imprints) not a single Megatherium over 20, and only a 100 thylo max. (I shotgun all the lowbies >:3) Discouraged I head by my old base, farm up some narcos with the bronto then decide ill make a taming pen near blue obby for easy tames i cant find near me. Im flying up and I spot a 135 male therizino! I take note, quickly throw down my taming pen near blue and go back to grab him. I accidently shot an extra time and had to let him wake, then retranq. As im babysitting him I clear some trees and rocks around, build a small spawn shack and tamed a few dodos, paras, etc for egg farm. Even on x5 taming this sucker is taking forever! Since im near blue obb, i teleported back via bed to main base, threw my new bear in obb with a saddle, popped a few more rex eggs and went back to blue to level up the bear. On my masacre I spot a 145 female therizino! Incredible luck! I dont have a taming pen so i destroy my shacks roof, drop him in (after a few attempts and 4k hp gone from my quetz..) i managed to get him knocked out! The 135 tames out, 7.5k hp and 365 melee!! Im estatic. My 145 is roughly 50%, then my game dashboards! When i reload, it rolled back to my 135 at 95% taming and my 145 at 30% >< To top it off, the 135 stands up with different stats and a lot worse. 6.6k hp 308 melee. The 145 tames out 8k hp and 276 melee. I throw all my tames in ob (including quetz) and bedhop back to my base at green ob. As soon as I got back, bred up some therizino and kept the original pair on wander penned up. My mating interval is roughly an hour so i managed to pop a few eggs. Got a female and male with the 308 melee, one with the good hp. Spent a few hours breeding, farming and building a small exterior open air egg pen. Basically a L shaped 10x5 with ramps and ceilings for the males. Nothing fancy but im trying to be concious about my structures and dinos. I can feel the lagg increasing daily from all the rexs. Got my chem bench down, some small upgrades to base etc. I take a break and cook my wife some dinnner, watched a movie etc while my guy sat in a chair. (Le sigh non presistant world) I came back later and bred more theriz, another rex. Went out found a 135 rex, knocked him out for stats and instantly killed him upon tame. 6k hp 250 melee lol. Got a theriz born with both melee and hp on it! It was getting late. I renamed all my rexs and theriz based on their stats. I usually have a 2nd controller logged in while i imprint with an alt crafting random crap. Helps me get levels on my new breeds while i afk! Most rexs are 20-25k hp and 400-500 melee after a bunch of exp. Not a bad start. Current rex count: 13 (2 useless tames) Current Theriz count: 11 Ive got to get some of these stored in obelisk. The reason i named them all is so I could pull them out on any map with ease according to boss needs. Most are for example: " FR/MR Bossmedeasy" or Bossmedhigh etc and theriz have their own names. The breeders are their stats in name Sleep time! More progress tomorrow
  24. Got on a little bit last night, managed to start out with some imprints, got lucky with walks and a kibble i had. The 2nd set i was only able to imprint one, need a damn kibble farm. Tamed a pair of gallimus and pachys, going to tame more eggers today. Between tames i went out and gathered more crystal, obsidian and a few pearls im working towards a chem bench now that my forge is going! After everything was tamed headed out with my weight griffin to cross the map gathering more obs and most important some pearls! Hit up the canyon, got some.pearls and some oil from my pump, it doesnt seem to produce unless i have it rendered.. so sat near it for a bit until dusk then flew off to pelagornis bay. Got a few hundred pearls and looped back to my old base near beaver paradise, stole some beavers life savings, almost died to seven thousand beavers and flew up to the old base. Theres a bunch of metal.around so I made trips doing a little farming with that nice asc pick. Loaded up my old weight argy and took off back home with it following me. Got back threw it all in the forge, made some electronics and went to bed. Works been brutal, needed that sleep! Back at it today, already have a good amount accomplished Good luck on your adventures fellow arkerinos! Till next time
  25. I think maybe the argy flew off cause the frogs were under attack, dont know exactly how the water glitch works.. Dimorphs are awesome Ill usuallu breed a flock aswell. A good melee one on your shoulder, on a frog (or bary, raptor, saber) will attack anything you can melee with those dinos, double damage ! Also great for swamp cave, it kills the flies that go above ur head (and kills them quick!) My favorite thing is 15 dimorphs, bred imprinted (for speed bonus) level 150~ speed and rest hp melee, go out with em on attack my target, crossbow or gun. Sooo fun
