Me and my tribemate are trying to complete Survive The Ark on Alpha and we thought the world buff from the Ferox mission might help (decreases wild Dino damage). But when completing the Ferox mission the effect doesn’t appear active on the list, we tried many tines. Was it disabled from the servers in general? Is it a bug?

Still not fixed. Mission still broken on official. We are two player tribe so I guess we’ll have to wait to be able to do alpha boss cause no way we doing gauntlets on alpha.

Thank you! It’s still there and from what we noticed it doesn’t affect any missions since we’ve done all from ocean biome at this point.

I was trying to find a spot to put my platforms for a base and I’ve managed to place two at a spot but a part of them (like 1/6 of it) is inside the mission area. Is this safe? Or will my structures decay when someone starts that mission?

I forgot to drink cactus broth and go 3rd person when I entered but I did drink it after the first round or so, and it still seemed like the balls were targeting me, I don’t of not having it from the beginning affected something.

that`s what we did, no tames and cactus broth, but still a lot of balls spawned. Your fight was before the update? I feel like they changed that after the update on December 2022, cause even on gamma a few balls spawned and were targeting us. Time was the only issue really cause we are just 2 people in the tribe. So if no balls spawned it would've been much easier.

UPADATING ON THIS (ROCKWELL BOSS AFTER THE UPDATE) we did gamma and alpha. Gamma we tried binging a Shinehorn and hovering in tek suits, but that made more balls spawn (apparently, idk if its really related to the amount of tames), but the balls DO STILL TARGET THE PLAYER, so don't go in counting on them not following you, bring a fabricated pistol or a assault rifle to shoot them. We tried gamma again just for testing and didn't bring any shoulder pets, that time almost no balls spawned, and we defeated it in less than 10 mins. Alpha was a whole other story. Balls spawned like crazy! Even with no tames. So that was a big issue cause we had to stop shooting tentacles for a few second to shoot the balls coming for us. In the end we managed to finish with 3 SECOND LEFT LOL. Almost had a heart attack at the end. So if you're trying to to this with few people id say at least 3 players. Or if you only have 2 like me, try with something that deals more damage like a good tek rifle (we went in with 297 shotguns). Ive recorded most of the fight and ill leave the link here if anyones interested in watching it, pretty epic at the end lol.

tysm for the advice. We are probably going to use tek suits, just tryin to figure out the best way to bring element over there. With fjordur is kinda easy to get the gems now so we probably going to transfer all the materials and just grab the element ore there and craft some element. Thanks again

Yeah, ive seen videos of people attempting alpha solo and the timer runs out just as they are shooting the last round of tentacles, but I think since we are gonna go as a duo, we can take down the tentacles in half the time.

Me and my tribemate are preparing for Rockwell but we still not sure about what strat we should go with. We are leaning more towards mounting top stat rock drakes and keeping them invisible as we shoot tentacles with our shotguns (250-260 damage on those). For rockwell itself we still debating whether its better to bring top aberrant spinos or top ab megalosaurus. Any one know whats best? I hear the megalos are weak when not mounted but haven't seen anything proving that. Also, I have seen some recent videos of people saying "no more pink balls" in the arena, is that true? or is there something we can do to keep them from appearing (they had several tames in the video). Just looking for some tips in general from ppl that have more experience with it.
