Wow a problem with color. The world is raptoring ending. Like it's just a game and that problem compared to others in this game, is faaar less problematic

You replied 1, before i was finished(reread dude) 2, you dont read, hes complaining the color coding caused s+ issues.  We arnt complaining about the color, hes complaining the color coding broke other, more important, coding.  That should of been obvious even with the part you quoted before i was finished.  Way to fly off the handle with sass without actually reading XD

Someone's super salty ?

Hes got a point though, how can such trivial coding break more core mechanics?  It would have to be 1 extremely unorganized and knotted code.  Of course thats assuming the colors actually did it, theyve added new items, temporary creature variations, temporary eggs, special effects, a nerf for a creature, fixes for descriptions, meshing issues, and the environment itself.  In all likelihood it was the more advanced stuff @Dzieciak that caused these bugs.  Though your still right, they suck at coding because they always break something XD

Actually, it was a pagan celebration of Spring long before Christianity even existed. Just like Christmas, it was adopted as a holiday because it was easier to rebrand than to get people to stop observing it. 

Says the governments and society that wants everyone against religion.  Christianity is the extension of the hebrew religion which is 1 of the oldest religions

I like how the biggest bugs that effect the core game are never addressed.  Like character AND REWARD loss from ascension and artifacts not working for the majority of your playerbase *cough* skylord *cough*

I like how he says we should use the tabs at the top to submit bugs but the only bug report available in the tab is for pc.  So xb1 and ps4 r just screwed and unvalued then?

No it hasn't been patched. Not for console anyway. Just scroll through the Bug and Error reports section on here and you see players still reporting losing characters after fighting either Overseer, Rockwell and King Titan.

Im on ps4 and it was safe to beta ascend about a year ago.  Mayb they broke it again.

Naturally you would applaud a weak argument with poor points.

 

1. Mutton is a product of the RAREST creature on the Island and most players only see or encounter a wild ovis on official servers on rare occasions, often spanning over months of play, or at best, weeks. Mutton is a lottery resource that can only be obtained on the island based on luck, it takes significantly longer to use it to tame a creature than kibble, and it reduces the additional bonus levels that kibble affords. It is not applicable as a solution to a poorly conceived kibble system. 

 

2. Having more dinos out has NOTHING to do with eggs. Most tribes that have several dinos out (in the hundreds) don’t even need eggs. It’s a weak and irrelevant point that only so many eggs can be rendered in a certain distance at a given time, because the point is that regardless, very few tribes are reducing the number of dinos they have out. Most tribes are just leaving more of a different type of dino out. The issue being the new kibble system does virtually nothing to reduce the number of tamed dinos on a server and therefore fails to help reduce server lag.

 

3. The game was “literally made” with only one map to start. Each expansion and add-on has been designed as a stand-alone map. Not at any point has WC stated the intention for players to purchase DLC, enter CHEAT commands, or transfer to other maps in order to experience fair play. Indicating a player needs to do one of the former actions in order to advance in the game is proof positive of a poorly developed aspect or system. 

 

Work arounds are not solutions, and the necessity of them are clear evidence of faulty mechanics or game rules.

 

Sorry you got the clap. I would recommend seeing a physician immediately.

Ummm Bravo lol

You guys plan on ever fixing the console glitch that deletes characters when a player beats Overseer, Rockwell and King Titan?

That bugged was fixed months ago, actually i think its been a year.  I got hit by that bug twice but it was patched a year ago and iv killed overseer since that patch safely.

I wouldnt call the mana the best flier. Lately ive been having a bug (one that completly made me abandon manas) where that stupid creatures does the mini boost foward on its own every raptoring goddamn time i jump or go down a cliff.

 

Its been happening since the latest update and also everytime it starts doing that my game starts to crash nonstop

Ouch, that sounds annoying as heck.  That said is its ability worthy of best without the bugs being considered?  Just curious of ur view on them.

Mostly I agree. I only really take exception with the yuty, as I have found it to be one of the best tames for PvP. 

 

While it’s usually only utilized in PvE or boss fights, in PvP it can disorient a flyer, call wild creatures to its aid, and buff any and all of your other dinos. Essentially, the yuty has the ability to make any tame you have better. This is the reason it has always required a golden egg to tame. In many ways it is the most OP dino in the game because it can buff other OP dinos. 

 

The golden egg mechanic is ridiculous, but it made sense for a dino with the abilities a yuty has. It also made sense because it was only one dino and it’s not unreasonable to obtain enough golden eggs for one tame, one time. What is completely, totally and utterly unreasonable is requiring players to obtain golden eggs for the other creatures on the extraordinary kibble list (especially non-breedable tames) while a giga is as easy to kibble tame as a rex or bronto. 

 

The golden egg is also completely out of balance from the other eggs on the list. While wyvern and drake eggs may be somewhat difficult to obtain, they are already a part of normal play. If a player retrieves either a wyv or drake egg, they stand to gain a very high-powered tame, or at the least the highest tier kibble. All this with some actual fun or exciting gameplay. With the golden egg, all other activities must cease while the player is forced to focus on fishing a hesperornis exclusively (boring), it has only one valuable purpose, you may only receive a normal egg, and it has a rapid decay timer. It places more inconvenience and effort on island players than the other maps, and there is no alternative use for it. Additionally, hesperornis do not appear to spawn on Extinction, nor do wyv or drake eggs. 

 

The new kibble system seems rushed, lacks the logical progression of the previous system, and seems very poorly thought out. The stews should be removed from the kibble recipes, an additional tier should exist between exceptional and extraordinary, and only the giga, yuty and maybe the rock elemental should be in the highest tier. 

Ill admit my view on the yuty is mostly pve, it does hav some serious pvp use but i look down on pvp because the mentality of it is sickening.  Pvp is for people who lik to harm others pr make others lives hell for no reason except their own personal gain.  Its comparable to kindergarten and some1 building a lil block castle ect and some spoiled brat that needs spanked runs over and kicks it down.  Pvp childish and its the same bully mentality that causes school shootings and suicides.  Im not talking against ark, im talking against the players.  For the few pvpers out there that dont do this crap, lik nooblets, i commend u but then for those servers ur yuty would b mainly pve focused lik mine.  Thus the yuty goes back to 1 use again.  All said i can deal with the yuty in this tier.

I agree completely

I agree completely 

Since the mosa required the same kibble as the giga b4 plus it has the same high torpor drain and its the strongest kibble tamed aquatic dino i think it may deserve a lift too.  Iv never tamed a mana but its probably the best "flier".  It would round out the best of the best, air land sea thing.

I am similarly confused as salty.

 

Onimusha, if you think the last kibble tier dino's are useless why are you complaining? Sounds like you will never tame them, if that's the case then the difficulty of the last tier won't effect you. Making the second to last tier -your- last tier. Which is relatively easy to obtain.

Personally, the way I see the end game being played the Yuty's buff (+25% to melee of your dinos, I believe) is -HUGE-. Without it you would be forced to spend that much more time breeding for mutations. In other PvE games I've played these buffs are essential to being able to beat encounters. I don't see this being any different. I see spending the time it now takes to tame a Yuty as an easy trade off to being able to finish the PvE game.

I agree the giga should be in the last tier. The ease of gathering meat brings you into the realm of being able to mass raise meat eating dinos. Regardless of not being able to be used in the PvE end game I think the giga is well worth the effort of being in last tier. 

Thyla's are useful, but not on the same level as giga/yuty. I would value them at slightly less than rexes, but maybe still worthy of being in the same tier.

I can't speak to griphons as I've mostly played on center/island. Only ever gone to Rag to collect loot from desert crates(which I didn't need to ascend or bet the bosses for, as I haven't yet).

As a side note, those of you who complained about titanaboa eggs being not worthy of last tier tames, I hope you enjoy laying in the bed you made.

Thats the thing tho, i want to take part in the endgame kibble, tames, ect.  I also want to tame everything on every map.

The yuty is a must for boss battles, i kno this, but outside of that 1 use its a dud.  Just like thylas hav 1 use, theyre ur means to ur boss saddles possibly.  But 1 use that u use only rarely doesnt exactly seem special.  I could say good for me, no need, but id rather it b built better for everyone...Not to mention i still want to collect them.

As for the boa eggs, they still b easier then these golden eggs.

My other beef is the progression seems off badly.  Once im riding a wyvern im probably not going back to a griffin.  Once i have a wyvern or giga ect im not gonna b riding a thyla 99.9% of the time.  Y, because im already riding something better before im even making this kibble.  Thats just wrong, and to some degree u understand what im saying because what u said about the thyla.

I don't know if I should bring this up but... Will there actually be an ark 2

(Don't your dare say Atlas is it!)

Doubtful since ark is 1 of those games where instead of making a sequel u just add another expansion.

My issue is the creatures they chose for the ultimate kibble dont deserve the effort of the kibble or even the "honor" of being labelled the best.  Its a big joke.  This should b rather obvious if u read my previous posts because ive said it multiple times.  Its not progressive which was a major reason why the rework was wanted to begin with.  It seems like a waste of resources for something ive already surpassed when i get to that point.

I used to be a solo player as well and the only map that i didnt defeat the bosses was abereation (and extinction since it didnt existed at the time). Gigas can be strong and fast but their uses are very limited, same for the mosas. With griffins and thylas you can do so much more stuff than with a giga. I see ppl using rock elementals to soak turrets in PVP, have you ever seen a giga been used to do anything than just finishing off a raid?

So purely a pvp viewpoint then?  The giga has enough health that it could b used for that if setup properly with the added bonus of being able to shred things.  The only thing a griffin has over a giga is shooting from the sky to tame things.  I can effectively stand on my giga and shoot things from safety as well as run them down with a bonus of no stamina problem forcing me to land and the added bonus nothing wants to eat me when i land.  For yhe mosa underwater bases r starting to b a thing now right?  Wouldnt the mosa b a hard hitting dmg soaker for raiding those bases?

Thank you

To @SaltyMonkey reasoning, so u guys r saying gimmicks r worth more then practicality.  So by ur reasoning the terror bird deserves to b an extraordinary kibble dino because it can glide some or the archie because it glides and works as a parachute.  If ur argument is no they dont deserve that because theres items for that then neither does the thyla or megalania because of the climbing pick.  Practicality says the ultimate kibble should b for something all round useful as well as being a bad A.  U also speak of limited use, the thyla has 1 practical use and thats cave looting so its just as worthless as a giga rex or spino.  Considering rexes are the established arena fighters, spinos r actually superior to rexes now for arena battles tho no one wants to go thru all that trouble again setting up breed lines, and the giga can participate in boss battles now id say all 3 hav practical worth plus that extra exclusive use u all consider to b so special.  And since we're talking about how special gimmicks are lets not forget the gigas insanely powerful rage.

The extraordinary kibble tier is for creatures based on their abilities/game mechanics, not their worth. Worthiness is subjective, abilities are factual.

And their abilities, tho unique, are still not that great.  Thylas tree climbing ability is a scout skill mainly to scale cliffs and so on.  Every bird is a better scout because u get a literal birds eye view.  Even stupid big dinos r better scouts for reasons i already mentioned.  These abilities r cool but not really awesome in the grand scheme of things.  Simply put any of these dinos in front of a giga or mosa, u learn very quickly these lil tricks hav lil worth.  Frankly no matter what situation ur in theres a better option available to these dinos(Exception of small rare roles).  The best kibble should b for the best.

I recommend a "How to play ARK and creatures benefits" session for you

I recommend a fanboy intervention for u.  Theres no way u can say any of those 4 creatures r more deserving then a giga or mosa for the ultimate kibble.  Iv already proven i understand these game mechanics rather well and stated other better options.  Best kibble should b for the best dinos.  Can u tell me how its better to fly and shoot tame something over the security of a trap?  Can u explain how a griffin can out combat a wyvern?  Can any of these creatures kill or go faster then a giga?  The giga is the 3rd fastest land mount in the game, tested and proved on YT.  The ability to climb walls is still nothing to flight except where u cant fly, being those 2 caves.  Spino is faster and more powerful and safer, yet the thyla who i would hardly use because its out done so much is considered mor valuable then this clearly superior creature.  Im a solo player, i do everything alone/without a tribe.  The fact iv beat every map soloinng it proves i know what im doing.  Everything is harder solo so im probably more adept at most things then u.  The fact ud rather insult me then discredit anything i said/hav a legit discussion how they r better is because u cant.  Now unless u can back up anything u said with actual facts and reasoning id prefer u dont reply.

It's a mod, not an official map. There's not supposed to be a point.

Nope. You can simply start the map you want. Weird you had that problem.

Edit: The old kibble works to tame. You can use Kairuku kibble to tame a dodo for example.

The map thing is a lie, u hav to beta ascend before u can play rag unless theyve changed it since i beta ascended b4.

What’s the point of Ragnarok, as an endgame map then? I was under the impression that Gamma ascension unlocked The Center and Beta or higher unlocked Ragnarok.

 

Padlock symbols appeared on both of those maps for me until I defeated the bosses and tek cave on single player. I even lost a PvP character because I accidentally transferred a character to a Rag server, it booted me out and wouldn’t ever let me log into it.

 

The recipe changed on Dododex. Apparently I made all the augmented kibbles, but they seem to work as the new kibbles because I’ve used them to imprint. That makes it a bit more annoying that I’m hearing what little Allo kib I already had made won’t work to tame a Griffin or Tape, but the other crappy recipes work fine. That’s part of the problem, though. It’s such a code to find anything out. 

 

Where are the official recipes, and where can I find out (for sure) whether the old premade kibbles will work for their previous designation? All I saw posted when they sprung the new recipes was a messy list of which creatures produced which kibble egg and which they preferred. I’ve relied on the Dododex for recipes, and posts by users here. 

I feel ur pain because so much was unexplained or still seems uncertain.  From what i hear the old kibble still works but is uncraftable now.  As for rag it is the most awesome map in the game.  I love the center and rag is lik the center and scorched fused together with some extra goodies.  Its the map im gona b living on mainly.

The only one that is not worth accepting in this tier is the megalania. Griffins are the only flyers that you can shoot of their back, Thyla are powerful and an extremely good mount for travelling, Yutis are very important for boss fights and Rock Golems are beasts for soaking turrets

Ur kidding right, the thyla is just as worthless as the megalania.  Their only purpose is to get a baby inside the snow/ice caves so u can loot em.  Outside of that they hav nearly 0 use.  If i wana get around i fly or use a spino.  Either way its outclassed massively.  As for other caves u should use a bary to deal with the water unless ur still looting and avoiding fights.

The yuty, outside of boss battles this creature is worthless and from wat i hear the majority of the playerbase is unable to do boss battles because of the massive time sink involved in breeding a boss team.  Therefore to the majority of the playerbase the yuty is also worthless.

The griffin, i wont argue being able 2 shoot while riding is nice and all(It definitely is more deserving then the previous creatures) but u hav to think tho, a griffin really superior then the wyverns ur using to craft the kibble?  The answer is an obvious h no.  Outside of taming the griffin has nothing over a wyvern or argy really.  Then most taming is best done in a trap then out in the field which lowers the use of the griffin massively.  What u find it more cost effective to bazooka that rex instead of using anything from the exceptional teir or a wyvern?  Doubtful.

All of these creatures r out done b4 ur even at their kibble teir and they hav to lil use to merit this lvl of kibble.  An extraordinary creature should b awesome 100% of the time and an endgame creature.  It should not b a creature that is used rarely with 1 small purpose and it most definitely should not b getting outclassed by half of the other available creatures in most of its abilities.  Example most things kill better then a thyla, as for traversal, every bird is still flying and therefore a better scout.  Heck even a more tanky creature lik rex and spino has advantages over it because nothing wants to attack it plus they can get around at decent speeds.

That's the whole point lol makes it a challenge

 

@Jen  it might b more acceptable if the extraordinary kibble was used to tame something worthy of it.  None of those 5 creatures are worth that effort.  Thyla and megas belong in superior and yutys/griffins arnt really worth that effort either.  The golem is the only 1 that isnt a complete flop for this teir.  The thyla and megalania are just insulting and the griffin is against progression.  Im not gonna hunt for a griffin when im already riding a wyvern.  Thats a downgrade and obviously i should hav a wyvern if im hunting its eggs(Which we do to tame 1) for the kibble.  The extraordinary teir needs completely redone, both with the egg and what it tames.  I completely back the idea of boa eggs or quetz eggs being used for it.  Even once we have that we still need creatures in that teir that deserve the challenge, that smash is talking bout, of that lvl.

I like it except its more teir locked.  I dislike how u hv to tame creatures in that teir b4 u can make kibble for it.  So i hav to horrible tame 2 rexes or yutys ect b4 i can get kibble for rexes and yutys.  The old system allowed u to kibble tame down a line in a progression style.  No wasting was needed.  The kibbles ok, its an improvement in many ways, but i wish we could use a superior on at least 1 dino tht dropped the next lvl, u know, actual progression.  The texture changes r rather limiting as well, so far only my foundations can look different.

My real beef is the final kibble lvl.  Theres absolutely no way the megalania and thyla belong there.  The giga and mose should be there and the thyla and megalania should b like maybe superior...And thats being generous.  Theres lil use for them unless ur breeding them inside rags ice cave or the islands snow cave.  Theyre subpar combatwise, giga and mosa used to demand the ultimate kibble, theyre obviously not in the rex and spino teir.

@d1nk@AngrySaltireso u guys r in a tribe together?
