Logged in yesterday did my obligatory o/ wave and someone on the server was asking for help. They were stuck in the viking bay castle and needed me to come with a torch. "Im just a beach bob" I said "How can I help you?!". Ended up flying to the castle with an extra torch, finding all the spawns cleared. Ran down to help buddy and helped him get his body back. As I left I decided to fly down and grab a few plant x since im at the castle, bad idea. Ripped off by a Kapro, bit by a sarco and stunlocked to death by a Bary My brand new 150 ptera I worked all day for yesterday, dead. I pronounced in chat that I died after helping him, he mustve felt bad because he told me to come by his base. I had no other good tames and my boat was in Highlands, so i warped to my blue shack and took my trusty level 20 parasaur to this farmville dudes' base. He proceeded to offer me various breeds and etc, not wanting free stuff I only asked for a flier. He bred up an Argy for me, gave me meat and I claimed the hatch. I raised it in his base (lol @ super mature times ) Had to go AFK for a bit whilist raising and mustve died. My only other tame in his base. I already lost all my stuff last death so I was determined to try and get my para back. Luckily for me his base was poorly designed (he logged off) and i was able to slip in abd get my para and my newly raised Argy. Flew them back to my base and logged for the night

Lol nice Thing was waaay closer than ive seen any squid, i thought it was tamed with how close to a base it was. Until I saw the glow.. i was going to swim down and see who owns it, glad I didnt lol

Dont know coords, was between black sand beach and the highlands cave, literally right near surface (near the shore)

Got a little time yesterday, furnished my boat and gathered up supplies for an expedition to the Highlands. Once there (after passing many laggy bases!) I found a nice beach to shore on and took off on foot in search of a high level ptera and some sheep for easy mutton. Right off the beach there was a level 50 purple trike, knocked it out and set to tame as I explored. I was near the highland cave when I saw a giga in the distance. It wasnt moving so I figured it was tamed.. yeah no. I evaded it onto a beached dolphin i tamed that was glitched in the river. Found a 150 ptera, knocked it out and tamed it. Went back to the boat and made up a saddle, threw my purple trike on my boat, parked the ptera and logged off for the night. Theres an alpha squid (near the surface??) Near my boat, a little freaky but I figured im safe for the night.

Well it looks like im back! With newfound vigor on @DJRone89's server! Started a poor beach bob near blue. My first order of buisness was to establish a small wood hut, a few dodos and a parasaur. I could've just spawned in highlands but wanted to get a boat going (no leeds yay!) this time around. Spent a few hours going through the motions, made a boat and farmed up enough to make it fully stone. I found out about the height limit on boats and had to remake it hours of my noob life taken away from me. Awhile after, phase 1 of d1nkleboat is complete! I wanted a boat that wasnt a pain to drive but still had function and safety. This boat is raises off the platform with pillars, a small hut for the driver and a few boxes with a 4x6 area uptop. 2x6 for the housing and 2x6 for a small enclosed argy taming pen / small dino taming pen once I get a hatch door installed. We will see how it works out next time im on and have time to play!

Make sure to grab the Theriz facing away from your quetz or it will shred it! Has extinction been announced? Been out of the loop for awhile. Today was the first day I logged on Ark in a few months! Wife is hungover as dilo in bed so I figured id load up and prepare my island for my next pet project: No tames! Lost all my boss dinos for my ascension project when my server went down so when I logged on The Island I had some fun killing all my remaining dinos, flying around on godmode until I found a Giga. Turned back on regular mode and punched it in the face before being eaten and deleting my save file. Day is young but the hangover is fierce. We will see what / if I get anything done

That looks awesome man! Many people might not realize but he's on Xbox so its a lot harder to do complex builds (even excluding mods, which we dont get) Ill have to come by and visit next time im able to get some time to come back to Ark (and you know.. actually join the server..) Edit: Who else thinks "Thumbs Up" reaction shouldn't be "Thank You"?

Or you know.. a microraptor, which naturally fly

The colours seem different but do remember each map has different colour schemes prevalent

LT for fiber, right stick for berries / hide and RT for meat / wood

Watch out for that murderous cheese cake

Youd need to go into your data folder (not sure on ps4 but should be similar to xb) and delete all ark data. You will lose all your skins, all ark data, your unicorn and everything to do with ark that is stored client-side

Hahaha I follow reddit and oddly enough the devs reply there tenfold to what they do there. Its been confirmed. "It is known" Congrats man Now ill stop getting the thread sidetracked

@GeneralBigBear Tek rex isnt an event dino, dont feel rushed to tame em. Theyre here forever now

Just need to make the required posy count, 15 ive been told Havent been on ark lately, havent had much time since last weekend and ill be busy all week long. Diablo 3 has a new season started yesterday so ill take what little time i do get and shift focus onto that for a little bit. Been needing a short break from Ark anyways Ive been grinding too hard and all my short term goals are temporarily completed

Set offline raid protection off and then thr givetome commad should work. Theres also a tribe wide command to take all tames / buildings Forgot to write about sundays ark, will make it short. Set up a few cave outposts with my bred barys. Been breeding a few up. Got some artifacts and ran the swamp cave a few times, got really lucky and pulled an asc 103 arm Theri saddle bp. Tamed a 120something basilo and killed an alpha shark. Once i can play again im heading out for a hlvl basil and setting up a few alpha monkies for element

No that was me They're on The Island. Im back there now too

Yesterday was a gamers' paradise. Got all day to myself and got a lot done. I kept a short list that ill just throw in (whats with ark forums not liking copy+paste from notepad?) My main theme was base expansion. I went over to my Rag SP and farmed up over 20 gates, demolished gates at my SP island for the other 10 or so and surrounded my new location at Drayo's Cove with behemoth gates. I wanted a big base where I wouldnt have to worry about expanding any time soon. I think I accomplished that, one side of the gate wall the other side isnt rendered Now for the chronological list. -Went to rag and transferred a bunch of utility dinos, plus all my SE dinos - Started with building a storage platform with attached dock, open air plan with a ceiling uptop for fliers etc (8x12x8h) - Breeding pen with 12 hidden AC (later made 10 fridges) Small wall to make green Ob safe to store, foundationed spawn Brought an anky to blue ob, made a small outpost. Mined a bunch of metal/crystal/ob and continued to do so every few hours. Saving up for a forge. Hopped over to Rag, downloaded more dinos including breeding theriz, vulture army, caving mount, frog, some other random tames then went on a paste run at beaver dams. Transferred more items and blueprints etc. Back on island, made two tree platforms and sap taps. Spawn bed & boxes added to bedhop sap. Transferred over dung beetle, a bee, more items. I had a load of theriz eggs and some angler gel so made some theri kibble on rag to get a basil for my island soon. Loaded up all my boss tames and saddles from island SP. Also had a few spare artifacts and almost two sets for alpha ape. (Minus one set) Back on island crafted up a bunch of poly, did another metal run (only 2x harvest) and made an industrial forge. Back at base made a pen for my jerboa, vultures and organized all my dinos. Grabbed some plantx and made turrets all over. Went to green ob and downloaded all 18 theriz, saddled them up and placed cliff platforms around green ob to extend my boss area. The cliffs I just spawned in. Killed a glitched titan under green ob with lightning wyvern and flame arrows and got level 92 Sorry for the jumbled mess. Ill probably edit it later to clean it up

Started tonight off by hatching those 6 vulture eggs, got 7 babies and most with the good hp and decent melee. Needed spoiled meat for the babies so i took a few vultures and a wolf out to hopefully get a bunch. It was going well, vultures are neat. I like their flying animation better than dimorphs. On my way back I wasnt paying attention and ran into a rock elemental, my vultures went wild and two of the three i had with me got killed. A 133 rock elemental near my base, i had a bunch of extra metal and such and was moving maps soon so I crafted up a trap, cannon, some balls and cannonballs. Went and lured it in. Didnt have many mantis kibble, only 4 eggs from my desert trips. Still took almost 3 hours. I took the time to prep for caves, crafting bullets, hooks, repelent etc. Also hopped over to my rag SP and grabbed my lightning wyvern and a baryonyx. After the rock ele tamed up on mostly sulphur like 30% effectiveness (lol) I ventured out to do the two easy caves. They went prettt easily except for a nasty 189 wild megalosaurus in canyon cave. After a quick restock I went out to the ruins of nosti with a bunch of hooks, repelent,cactus broth etc. My plan was to spider man to the artifact. Only died twice, used 45 grapple hooks and made it out with my last artifact for the scorched set. I loaded them in the obelisk for the future, proceeded to load all my tames in, most my items, character and switched the map to The Island. Going to find a base spot and start tomorrow

Just had a short time to play so I fed my tames, made a few vulture eggs im.going to hatch tonight and spent the rest of the night planning an island base. Still not sure where but @yekrucifixion187 gave me a great spot that ill scout out tonight. I have enjoyed scorched but it really isnt a full-time map. I like how everything there is an uphill battle. Maybe tonight ill drag over some tames and take down Manticore before switcing. A part of me wants to still progress as planned with story, so we will see! Kind of excited for The Island again. Should be a lot more fun with boosted dino levels.

Awesome man congrats!! I think my next map will be classic Island. Doing the bosses on SP feels really janky and I just cant play SP anymore. I havent done the overseer yet, only did tek cave before the overseer was added. Is the fight easier than the regular bosses or the same difficulty just all together? Probably going to have to do it solo

Good luck in your other games mate! Thats a tasteful goodbye post. We will still be here Arking away if you decide to come back

Started tonight off hopping on my newly raised thylo and get some exp enroute to red obby crystal cave for more obs/crystal. This thylo is going to be a speed one, managed 80% imprint. Tamed a 126 horse when I got back, mostly for a bigger slot m&p. Been crafting lots of cp lol, love it. Reminds me of before beavers. Bred up my wolves for giggles, my 162 male second tame and my 203 tamed female. The baby came out 287 male so it got most of my females stats and I now have a good breeding pair. Went on a quick metal run, threw it in the forges and went out looking for some tames. Found a few high level vultures, 168 male blue, a 189 female green&blue and a regular 178 or something.. female. Easy tames with a tent When I got back I decided I was going to summon in a Crab. I sacrificed two good quetz from my Rag some time ago and have been deciding when to get one in, this no flier go is perfect. Summoned it at 120 so I could still replace it in the future when I get to Ab. Went out on the town with the crab, I was doing a bit of exploring and also looking for a good Saber to round out my caving crew. Searched for over an hour and only turned up a 140. Tamed that with assitance of my new crab. My 6h mate interval was up and I bred the newly grown wolf and the other together. Basically a twin of the other, 287 but female. Also threw together two vulture eggs and hatched an all blue male with the good stats (1.35k hp 361 melee) and a low hp normal one. One of my females has 401 melee, ideally ill get them together and that will be good for caves. Getting another imprint in and heading off soon. Goodnight Arkers!

I feel ya! I had to switch to a new map because i lost motivation, reading these posts sure bring it back though

So just logged on shortly to check that thylo and just as suspected it starved Bred them again and got a better one, with two mutations! Dont know what yet.. but thats neat. Just did a quick meat run and ill just be popping in for imprints periodically. @Jabnlab Congrats on Tek! Im jelly we dont get those s+ moveable transmitters haha I still have yet to beat dragon to actually unlock it (does s+ let you build it without?) Im excited to see the base with all the Tek set up, im still undecided how I want to lay it out. Have my replicator, genny and a trough premade before i left Ragnarok. Congrats again
