This is my first time posting here, but enjoy reading these posts. Just thought, I would quickly mention that before starting my tale.
I am a PVE player and a solo tribe on an official server, and interact here and there with the community. I have been on the same server since the XBOX launch. My base is located about as far southwest of the map as you can get. I am on the southwest corner of Cragg's Isle on the beach south of the big rock. I only mention this for a little background to what happened the the night before.
I usually play at night after kiddos go to bed, and login just like any other night to feed dinos and gather a small amount of supplies, etc. I have my main building that I typically logout in which has a "aviary" on top for my Argys and Ptera that overlooks pretty much all of my base. I usually go there first to drop some meat in the trough before moving on to my two barns. While waiting on dino's to eat, then grab leftover meat then move on, I climb to the roof of the building that I allows me to see my surroundings and all interior of my base.
Unfortunately this is when the bad news sets in, as I am overlooking my base. Both of my my barns are torn apart, and no living dinos near or inside of them to be seen. Hoping it was just a rendering or lag, I jump down to get closer look, and much to my dismay most of my dinos are gone. All dinos in and around them are dead. Mind you, the dinos were not an extremely high level but disheartening none the less. Just a lot of work down the drain.
I decide to take a look around to see what can be salvaged, and find that my shark and itchy somehow survived. My main base was luckily also untouched and it contained my Thya, Anky, and the Argies and Ptera mentioned above in addition to all my fridges with eggs and other supplies. In all honesty most of the dinos had not been ridden in some time, though lost a few that had sentimental value such as my very first tames. Which was a Trike named "Sarah" and a Raptor named "Whip." The hardest loss was actually my Quetz and Allos. The Allos because I do not see a lot of them on the server any more.
After taking stock and making a couple repairs, I decide to take a look at the tribe logs. I had assumed up to this point that a Titan had walked in aggro'd by the interior x plants I forgot to put on sleep. I was quite wrong, somehow a level 50 Giga had made its way from the north down to Cragg's Isle and in my base. I am fairly certain they don't spawn this far south. As far as I am aware, I have not knowingly made anyone angry to kite something to my base. Though, that must have been quite the trip to get a giga down that far and not touch many other bases in the area.
I am sorry for the long winded post, but just felt like sharing my tale since most of my days are fairly standard experience of feed, clean up poop, cut down a tree, beat up a rock, and so forth.
