AVENGED

Wife and I have returned to this game recently and have decided to make an outpost near green ob to store some of our "less used" dino's. I left her to make materials while I roamed around hunting for black and red dino's to tame. 

Found a black and red Griffin, level 95... Crap. Almost tamed him anyway, cause of how badass he looked but decided against it. Roaming the desert, I discovered a 130 purple and black Giga. I thought about it for a minute (usually won't tame anything under 135) and decided to head back to base to make a trap.

Get back to base and notice an extra Rex in the group. Solid black and pretty sweet looking. Call out to R (my wife) and ask her about it. She said he wandered around the perimeter wall for awhile and she thought he looked pretty so she tamed him. I was very proud of her for tackling a Rex by herself. Also, Nihlus (new Rex) has great stats, so he will be added to my boss Rex group. 

Told R about the black and purple Giga and she helped me craft up a metal trap. Was getting late so we logged for the night.

Recently unfroze my servers and returned to this game with my wife. I noticed when I was on my wife's One S, that the game seems to run worse than on my original Xbox One. 

Checked settings and all were the same. Any other Xbox users have this issue? Google search produced squat.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration 

 

Just a quick one tonight. Had all the essential resource gathering dinos now but the roll rat. So I grabbed the dire bear and harvested up some honey from a bee hive located within my perimeter wall. Went out and had a quick look for a roll rat and decided to tame up a low level 80, the rest were lower. Tamed it up but mucked up one of the honey throws so lost a bit of taming efficiency. 

Of course to craft the saddle for the rat I needed to be level 58, so I took the spino out for a run and went up and down the river system murdering everything. Oh my word the kill message spam lol thats a lot of fish. Got to level 60 without an issue. Then I realised that I needed 400 metal and I still hadnt sorted out the metal situation. I couldnt be bothered transfering it across fron Ragnarok and I couldnt be bothered to reallocate brain power to think out a solution tonight after a day at work so I called it a night lol. I'll work it out tommorow, just trying to work out if I want to build a wee outpost near one of the metal spawns by the glow tail cave, and run the metal back to base.

First Charmander, now Tyranitar. I like it.

GO PACK GO !!!!

I'm a Broncos fan, but don't mind the name. Had a Direwolf named Packers on my legacy server.

The wife and I played a lot today. Started out feeding all the tames, then decided we wanted a Wooly Rhino. Already tamed a high level Male Terror Bird, so we went out hunting for a high level female. 

Scoured the entire map and found only high level males... We returned to base to regroup and as our base came into view, I noticed a Rex walking around our perimeter. Spyglassed him and he was a level 150. Since we were rigged for taming, R and I decided to tame him. 

Knocked him out and he had the worst stats I've ever seen on a Rex. Killed him and made some more Megalosaurus kibble. Went out hunting for a high level Male Theri. Found one, picked him up and dropped him in the taming pen. Knocked him out and started taming. 

R accidentally hit him three times fighting off a pego that somehow glitched inside the walls. Killed him and returned to base. Was crafting up tranq darts when R ran inside screaming "There's a Giga in the base!!!" I climbed the ladder to the top of our workshop and hopped on Electra (Lightning Wyvern). Flew towards the Giga and laughed as I realized my brother T was returning from a meat run on Aralakh. 

He hopped off and we sat around the fire chatting for awhile. Decided to go kill death worms. Found two and killed both. Have enough horns now to tame a max level Mantis. 

T and I went hunting for a high level female Terror Bird again, while R went hunting for a high level Mantis. Both searches turned up empty and we met back at the base. 

On her way back, R spotted a Alpha Rex, so we all jumped on Wyverns and went to kill it. T on Dracarys (Fire Wyvern) R on Smaug (Poison Wyvern) and myself on Electra. Made short work of the Alpha Rex and returned to base. 

Showed T the green and yellow Giga in the highlands, he really likes her so he's decided to tame it tomorrow. Already named her Packers. 

It was getting late so we all logged shortly after returning from the Highlands. 

Got home last night from my business trip and crashed. Woke up this morning and ran some errands. Now, it's time to dust off my Xbox and play some Ark! I'm off until Tuesday, so the wife and I should be able to get some quality play time in.

Except Saturday, College Football kicks off Saturday, so I'll be occupied with gameday festivities every Saturday until the season ends. 

Haven't been able to play since Sunday, works too busy and I'm going out of town this weekend, and will be staying in a hotel for three days starting Monday for work *sigh*. 

The wife has been working on the water base a bit, but she doesn't like playing without me. 

Pretty busy weekend on the Ark for myself and R. After the Giga tame went South, I decided to return home and breed my best Rex's, best Argies, and my best Thylas. 

R returned home and hopped on while I prepared dinner. Explained to her how to take care of the Thyla baby and she piddled around the base for awhile.

Unfortunately, I forgot to tell her to take the Thyla baby off wander, and she glitched her way outside the incubation building and was killed by a Sabertooth...

R went ballistic and proceeded to murder every Sabertooth she found close by with one of our Thyla's. 

Hatched the Rex and the Argy, both their stats weren't up to snuff, so I culled them. We then flew to our new water base and did some more construction. 

When we tired of that, we flew back to base and cooked up some Argy kibble and Megalosaurus kibble. Flew down to the canyons hunting for a high level female Spino. Found a 145 Orange one but she decided to attack a raptor pack, a baryonx and three stegos. She didn't survive. 

Flew to the Highlands and discovered a level 150 Female Giga with a green and yellow body. Am still trying to decide if I want to tame her or not. Going artifact hunting later. R is not thrilled about getting the artifact of the devourer.

Found a tek rex, tamed it,(yes i am late, luckily)was capped 1 minute later.   Looked up what is the highest level kicked myself for getting a 164 fem and not the 180 i here is about..

i this point i think purchasing dinos is the way to go and the only way to progress, gl survivors.

 

Also do tek dinos breed with only each-other?

Check forums didnt see any answers to this.

Can't breed Tek dinos with their non Tek counterparts. 

Went after that Giga today... Didn't go well. I kept trying to kite him towards my trap and he kept getting distracted. Finally got him away from all the Equus in the area, and had him heading towards the trap. Out of nowhere, a gallimimus runs past, the Giga gives chase and he and the gallimimus run straight over the edge of the scar and into the lava... Crap. 

Found another Giga by the lighthouse, just a level 25 though. Killed him with my Lightning Wyvern to blow off some steam. Also, I didn't know that wild Megalodons will attack wild Gigas. Learn something new everyday. 

Doctors office for a check up and then straight to the war room to tame that Giga! Flying solo today, wife's at work and my brothers are taking a break (also probably at work). 

Was doing the usual chores around the base with the wife, when she yells from the next room "Why is this Rex glowing red?" Crap. Jump on Aralakh (Mass Effect reference) my golden Giga and demolish it without difficulty. 

Fly out to the waterbase, build for a few hours and then go Wyvern Egg hunting. I fly through the trench on my lightning Wyvern, while R raids the nests on Red Eagle (Griffin and Skyrim reference). Find nothing above level 95. 

Fly out of the scar and I see a Blue and Red level 150 Male Giga. A perfect breeding partner for Aralakh! Decided to put taming him on the shelf for the night and go after him tomorrow. 

Haven't done much lately. Built a bit more on the water base, went exploring the ocean with the wife (Tusos and Mosas freak her out, don't know if she'll ever go back into the deep now) fed and logged. 

Mostly been playing State of Decay 2 with her and my brothers. We're planning on having an "Ark weekend" this weekend though, so maybe we'll get some stuff done.

Had a disastrous few days. Caught some kind of stomache bug from my nephew who had spent the week in Disneyland so I was trying to make the best of my sick days. Turns out I was too sick to make good decisions. Was farming chitin in the jungle cave when the server spasmed and somehow dropped me through the floor into a huge cavern full of lava and abandoned fortifications. Got knocked off my mount somehow into the lava and lost my favorite mount; a 260ish forrest green pelagornis with over 3khp, 1k stamina and 500% MD with a perfect imprint. (I like the pelagornis, theres nothing bad about a flying jetski with an area of effect bite  ) He’s still down there somewhere so I grab my second best mount who is a dark blue offspring named Tsunami that I worked up to 250.  Got mobbed by 6 anthropleura with over 900 levels between them and died to the last one standing. RIP Tsunami. I decided not to throw good money after bad since Forrest was safe enough til I make a serious attempt to get him. 

Later I spot a tapejara and it’s 145. I stalk him until he lands and barely miss a bola throw because I crossed the line from jungle shade to a patch of sunlight and the gamma changed the jungle brush to darkness just as I made the toss. Mr. Tapejara flew off into the sky towards the blue obelisk. I grabbed Peter Griffin and gave chase only to accidently dismount somewhere way above the obelisk. I was at least smart enough to bring a parachute. Several hours later I relocate Peter Griffin and decide to call it a bad day. Mr. Tapejara is still up there somewhere, presumably closer to the moon than Earth. 

I have a Griffin with the same name haha.

Wife and I finished the base renovations finally. Got everything moved, built and set up. Flew out to our chosen waterbase spot and built a bit before calling it a night. 

Reactivated the Easter and Valentine's day events, so there's all sorts of colorful dinos to search for. R really wants to start breeding, so we went out hunting for a female Spino. We already have two males with great stats, the female we have is junk. 

Couldn't find a single female over 135, so we went back to building up our new waterbase. Halfway through the build, I realized it was way to big, and decided to cut it in half. 

Demolished a good chunk before calling it a night. Before I logged, I received a message from some old allies, from my legacy days. They recently returned to Ark, and wanted to know if I wanted to join they're unofficial cluster. 

Told them I had my own and they were welcome to join. I think I'll create a new character on their servers and if they want, they can also come over to mine. 

The wife and I started and completed construction on our new breeding/incubation building. Took a break to gather obsidian, and cementing paste and built an industrial Forge. 

Finished the breeding/incubation building and we both were very pleased with how it turned out. Now we just need to move the armory/workshop supplies into the old breeding building, and the breeding/incubation supplies into the new one.

Afterwards, we'll start construction on our new water base.

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

I've seen a Tuso spawn around that same area once. Was so close to the surface it's tentacles were breaking the surface of the water.

Was only a level 15, so I attacked it and it never moved. Guess it was glitched. Scared the hell out of me when I first saw it though. 

Double post

Still can't play. Unfroze my servers and got in about 15 minutes of game time before crashing. Now I can't log in at all. Refroze my servers. GG WC

The wife and I couldn't log in at all today. Every time we tried it would just kick us back to the main menu. Freezing my servers until WC pulls their heads out. 

My brothers have been on a State of Decay kick, so it's just been myself and the wife. Anyway, decided I wanted to redo some things on our Ragnarok base, so I talked the plans over with the wife when I was at work, and when I got home we went to it. 

Moved all shoulder tames to the breeding/incubation building, destroyed our old community house, while the wife (I'll call her R from now on) used the supplies to build up materials for our new community house. 

We connected our community house to the breeding/incubation building for easier access, and made a bottom floor with a war room for planning the days events (Neebs Gaming gave me the idea on one of there recent videos). Top floor is four bedrooms for each of us to store our own items in and our own beds. 

Made a fire pit outside (R likes things to be homey) and moved everyone's stuff to their respective rooms. We have plans to build a new armory/workshop soon, but decided to go taming instead. Jumped on a couple of Wyverns, and right as we located a 165 Tek Rex I crashed... Took me three attempts to log back in, and then R crashes. 

Took us 45 minutes to fly our way back to our base (luckily nothing died) and we logged in frustration. Tried playing today and was greeted by constant dashboarding... Checked here and it seems like the last update has been brutal for numerous other players. 

Will try again tomorrow.

My wife usually watches myself and my brothers play Ark, but has recently become interested in actually playing.

She watched me breed a few Rex's and really wanted to help with that and building, so I let her play for a few hours. She now loves the game, so I bought her an Xbox this morning. 

She joined my server and I went with her to explore both Ragnarok and the Island. Showed her some basics and put her to work breeding some Rex's. 

Happy I could get her hooked on this game (she's also shown an interest in State of Decay 2.) She's going to our Island server tomorrow to continue construction on our base there. 

Just returned home from a week long vacation in Southeast Florida. T and I were able to hangout with B for a few days of the trip, and even managed a few deep sea fishing excursions while our wives went shopping. 

Good to see B again, he took care of both servers pretty well. Logged in this morning, grinded some more materials for our base on the island server, fed everyone and logged. 

My brothers have really gotten into State of Decay 2, so I played primarily solo this weekend. Will probably join them soon.

Hunted for Tek Rex's, couldn't find any over 135, so abandoned the search. B logged in for an hour or so, tamed a Jerboa and was killed right after by a 145 Mantis. Flew over to try and help, but his Jerboa was already dead. So I watched him try and kill that Mantis for half an hour, screaming"Revenge!" 

He finally gave up, and I gave him a ride to the FOB he's been working on in the desert. I flew back, fed everyone and logged. 

T, B, and I decided we wanted a high level Tek Rex today. Slaughtered three that were low level until we found a 160 female by Viking Bay. 

Tried kiting her to our trap there, but she aggroed on everything, so we parked our Wyverns out of harms way, and dashed around on foot, tranquing her until she fell. 

Grabbed up some scorpion kibble and she tamed out to 230ish (honestly I forget). Stats are okay and we're going to start hunting for a male Tek Rex soon.
