Ahh, thank you for the info, fellas. S how about it, @DJRone89; Mind if I join your server? I'm not a prick, nor do I grief. I've never played PvE but i've got just over 2.5k hours in PvP, and have been playing since EA 2015.

@d1nk & @AngrySaltire are you guys letting people into your pvt PvE server?

ArkCrossCluster1 - Ragnarok Spent 5 hours on Friday night with the Alphas defending against Chinese invaders. Had to log mid fight because I had irl things to do early in the morning. Logged on the next day to see that the Alpha got wiped, lost 100s of Wyverns, all Tek, turrets, Golems, etc. My Castle got assaulted and wiped as well. They soaked just over 50k bullets from my turrets. Killed my Wyverns, Griffins, Gigas, Rexes, Quetz, Argies.. everything. Blew open 30 vaults. Raided my kibble farm. Destroyed all fridges, cookers, P-Bins, Chem Benches, Fabricators, Smithies, Forges.. they wiped literally everything. I spent just over 20 minutes running naked, ducking and weaving dinos to get to the Castle to see all that I just said. They didn't kill my 290 Doed, Orange. Losers! I think i'll take a break from Ark. My Tribe doesn't even want to hear the word "Ark" lmao. I might find a PvE server for the hell of it. Or wait until Extinction. Idk. Kinda relieved to be wiped and not have to play anymore, but really demoralized after losing 3 months of work.

Seemed that came off as in insult, wasn't meant to be.

Sorry, kinda can't relate to Dino levels that highly modified. Kinda absurd.

I'll have to screen shot some photos of our bear line with Cyan colors. They're so cuteeeeeee

What are your Argies coming out at base stats? Best line I have going to an 800 weight on hatch.

CrossArkCluster - Ragnarok Last night was a cloooossseeee call. I took my 220 Lightning Wyvern out to slay some other Wyverns. Killed a couple fire, lightning and poison before happening upon a lvl 90 Alpha Wyvern. So I healed up the little bit of HP that I had lost and went for it. I thought I had it in the bag - easy. Problem was that he was hitting me for an absolutely massive amount of dmg with each fire breath. I knew that it's best to fight them with another Fire Wyvern, but I have the high ground, right Anakin? Wrong! I only barely got away alive. Idk what the deal was but my stamina was only going up like 6-10 points per tick! Even when standing still, not on fire and not flying/attacking. It was absolutely wild, and that's why I nearly got killed. I had to sit there force feeding my dino cooked meat trying to survive the next hit until I could just get enough stam to fly away! Acnalogia has 20k HP and 1.5k Stamina. There's absolutely no reason that it should have been only going up 6-10 at a time. I've never seen anything like it. At the end, I was able to fly JUST far enough away before having to land (bc 0 stam) to get the Alpha to attack some Stegos. Check Acnalogia's HP.... 900! That wouldn't have survived another hit from the Alpha. I sat there continuously feeding him while keeping an eye on the Alpha that was like 200 ft from me. Finally I got about 300 stam and decided to run for it. I was able to get back to base eventually after stopping a few more times and force feed him enough to get him back to 10k HP. Then logged for the night, deciding not to take my chances. I don't remember Wyverns being so vulnerable. I mean obviously they're at a loss since they don't get the protection from a saddle. But 20k HP and a 100% imprint seemed to be nonexistent tbh.

If they do that then the Chinese would lose their poop. And they're a huge part of Ark. We all know Chinese don't raid each other so they'd all quit lmao.

It'll only freak her out until she gets her own Mosa. Then she'll be a the terror of the sea >:)

Hell yeah! I'm always happy to see newer players not getting discouraged by the mishaps of Ark. Additionally, I'd really suggest getting an Argy. They're such a multi-use mount now. They're great in combat, and have a heal ability when they devour dead bodies. They have good weight, stamina, HP and even dmg. I used an Argy all the way until I could raise a Wyvern. The tactic that I use (if you don't have a Griffin) is pretty simple, but i'm sure there is a better one. I wait until they land or get close to the ground and run up on it to start firing with a xbox or darts. Then just do circles around it while it does the same. Usually you can learn the perfect distance to not get hit while firing. Once it gets to a low enough HP, or high enough Torpor, it'll start running. I chase it a bit, fire again and continue process. Then once they're down, I put spike walls around it so it's protected. Then starve it until it hits the right food for your kibble or prime. Also, I'd suggest getting a little farm going to that you can pick your own narcoberries whenever you feel like. Makes it pretty easy to make narcotics on a whim.

Yupp, the redundant nerfs were likely because they were a near unstoppable raid Dino. Not that they could exactly soak because of their rage mechanic, but they were unmatched when assaulting a hoard of enemy dinos. But their strength is irrelevant now since Wyverns and Reapers came out. Reapers are the new Giga, being stronger imo. But obviously much harder to obtain.

They've nerfed the the Giga over and over and over. It's to the point now where a giga is basically only worth getting for meat runs near your bases. It's a great meat runner, no doubt. But that's it. On top of that, the stats are basically the same for all Gigas regardless of level. Their base states are so high, and their stat increase per level so low that a lvl 20 Giga is nearly no different than a lvl 150.

Didn't do too much yesterday. Well, that's already an overstatement, I barely did anything at all lol. Took the newly raised 180 Lightning Wyvern out for a spin and killed 2 dozen Brontos, 10 Spinos, 20 some odd Rexes and unumerable smaller Dinos that got in the way. Leveled Acnalogia to 220 with 20k HP, 1.5k Stam and 350% melee. Did all that in about 30 minutes then logged off for much needed sleep lol. `

ArkCrossCluster1 - Ragnarok Sooo this weekend was stressful as all hell. My Friday night was spent at the Wyvern Trench trying to find good eggs to raise over the weekend. I already had a 165 Fire egg that I had snatched a few weeks prior. But I told one of my guys that they could have it if I found a higher lvl Lightning one (Lightning Wyverns are the only ones I like). I ended up finding a 180 Lightning Wyvern not long into the search, SCORE! So I snatched it, and dipped out via traps and cliffs. I was also able to pick up a 155 Poison for one of my guys that same run. I spent probably 3 hours killing Wyverns down at the cave SW of Green Obby too since a buddy of mine has a base near, and wanted to grab some eggs. We used our 100% imprinted Argies - 10k HP/ 2.5k STAM/ 500% M - to fight, and were mate boosted so we had no troubles 2v1 any of the Wyverns. No luck on finding any good ones there. Went through probably a dozen eggs but none higher than lvl 95. Cleared them all out anyway and hit the sack. Saturday morning, we got on early and hatched the 155 Poison and the 180 Lightning. I named my Lightning "Acnalogia" and my buddy named his Poison "Chiss", since it came out with gorgeous blue and purple event colors. Which was wild as hell since it looks just like a Lightning! We vastly overestimated the amount of milk that they would need. We were running to the trenches every 3-4 hours to get more milk because we really thought that they were going to go through more. Sucks that milk/Preserving Bin/Spark Powder/Preserving Salts makes the milk last for 9 hours, but the salt only lasts for 2h in a stack of 6. I'm super cool with the 9 hours on the milk; That amount of time seems very reasonable. I'm mad that salts in the bin will have to be refreshed every 2h though. Stupid. Anyways, I've only got 1 imprint left on Acnalogia before he's at 100%, which i'll get done here in about an hour when I take my lunch break to head home. Super excited for my first Wyvern on Official since Rag came out!!
