  1. kapros are easy to sort out and heres my, have your tame on follow and nuetral, and it can kill the kapro, kapros dont have much health. i have an asc pistol and shotty which can kill a 150 in 3 shots of the pistol, and one shot of the shotty. as for swarms, a torch will easily take care of swarms, that and a capable tame, raptors and their AOE pounce attack are great for swarms. as for the arctic. it really depends on your luck in whats around you when you spawn. i tend to build in high places where stuff cant get me, worse i had to fear was yutys, but without their carnos they are not that dangerous. i tend to just lead it to a theriz and it dies soon after.
  2. my friend, some people like a challenge, and dont just wanna sit and cower on a sea stack until they get to metal tier. i love a challenge, one of the reasons why i play ark. yes the artic is not easy, for most, but experienced players can easily survive in the artic when starting off.
  3. nah, i find artic to be the easiest and funnest biome to live in, bog after that.
  4. this is gonna be a doozy. so i finally managed to get genesis on my PS4, even tho fate seemed determine to prove otherwise. i loaded in the map for the first time, crashed. This happened 4 more times before i finally loaded into the bog, i died and decided to respawn in the arctic, crashed. so i reset my world, made a ne character and started again. i spawned in the bog and made my way to the dodoball mission, there i slowly made a makeshift wooden base surrounded by spikes. i tamed a raptor, it got kaproed, tamed another, it got kaproed, this went of for some time. i'd tame a raptor, and it'd just get grabbed by a kapro and run off with it. i finally managed to tame 4 decent lvl raptors, 150, 150, 145. the 130 had no good stats and was a nice blue, so i made it my main. after spending a good hour leveling it, i managed to get it to 300 weight and just over 2000HP, hopefully it'd survive a trek through the bog. while out, i came across a pack of 3 high lvled parasaurs. tamed em all up and i made them pack mules. i found a good metal spot nearby. took the paras and the raptor out to get some, came back with all tames just able to move. after i got to flak armor and primitive guns. i prepped for a trek to the arctic. i planned to establish a base there. i plan to do that next time i play. my plan is to tame a saber or something more viable for long distance travel. something that can carry a decent amount, can handle itself without nearly dying, and fight back. might go for a bear if i find a good one.
  5. ummm, the image showing the new creature is a bit freaky, kind of unexpected from WC. to make an image like that. new brown undies affect monster incoming.
  6. i suggest playing unofficial server, great servers and much better than official ones. however im assuming the pillar issue was because you were playing on official.
  7. i've heard that the mining tool from gen is good at collecting element dust, but i have not seen heard or tried it myself. from what a friend claims. its the best way to gather element dust from the tables, chairs and what not on extinction.
  8. so the day of reckoning came. whether it was for me and my deino army or the dodorex. i had tamed a quetzal and spent a few hours building a pen that i could carry my deinos on, the maximum was about 30ish. the plan was i would ride on the queztal which also had some turrets on it, whistle the deinos at the dodorex and they would charge off of the platform and attack. well about 10 minutes later and he is already dead. only a few died in the process and the rest were fairly fine, a few were badly hurt, but other than that we were unscathed. i decided to bring a deadon along on the next battle hoping this might make the deinos less likely to die, i also considered bringing a yuty along but that would have been too much of a hassle. after about 10 more nights of killed the dodorex i figured this was getting too easy, the rate at which i was loosing the deinos was much slower than the rate i could produce them at. i was talking to a friend on discord when he suggested i summon in a few dodorexes at once to battle, it seemed that the least amount of deinos i can use and succeed in a battle against the dodorex was 10, so i figured for every 10 deinos i would spawn in one dodorex. so the battle would be 100 deinos against 10 dodorexes. holy sh*t was it an amazing fight. i used whistle groups to whistle each group onto a different dodorex, the deaths were insane, but somehow my deinos won, granted i had lost much more than i had anticipated. but i won. i kept none of the spoils i got from the dodrexes i had spawned in. but now im wondering what i should fight next. maybe a titan or one of the bosses. on a side note after the announcement of bugs being breedable in the upcoming update, i spent a few hours taming mantis and arthros, hunting for the best stats. i feel like arthros are about to become way more OP than WC had thought they would be.
  9. when you have done as much breeding as i have it become as easy as taming something. also since i was on single player i done what i usually do to make it as fast as breeding on servers. i used slomo and players only. ik it sounds like cheating but when you play offline it gets annoying.
  10. so i decided to return to ark and give it another go. first thing i considered doing was making my way through to beat all the bosses first. then i realized the fear event would be around the corner, so i decided to plan on ways i could defeat the dodorex. as i was talking to a friend he suggested using creatures that have bleed effects, my first thought was allos or carnos, but my friend suggested deinos, then being smaller and potentially harder to hit and over all easier to breed. i figured sure why not. so i spent 2 whole days grinding wild deino nests, using a method i commonly use when hunting for OP stat deinos. by the end of it i had really OP stats for all the needed stats. health, melee, stam and weight. i then bred all the stats into one good pair, i also grinded lvl 5 deinos until i got the worst oxygen possible, i'd never spent so much time in my life looking for such a low stat. i put in the oxygen to to make sure the final pairs level was lower, meaning more mutations to be put in before lvl cap. i then made 4 breeding pools. health, stam, melee and wieght. all with 20 females and 4 males each. this would allow for a sufficient mount of eggs produced meaning mutation occuring more commonly. when i got the first male with the desired mutation for that pool, i would swap it out with the dad, and continue this process repeatedly, after hours apon hours of breeding, eg collecting, mass genocide on babies and cutting up their maimed bodies i had the final results of 40 health, 40 melee, 30 stam and 20 weight mutations. combining them all into one amazingly OP deino breeding pair. i then proceeded to breed a total of 100 deinos all fully imprinted and fitted with the best deino saddles i could obtain. i also bred a decent yuty which i plan to have on the side lines and boost the deinos even more. to test them out i took them out to fight a giga on ragnarok. about 20 died but the giga was killed. so i now have a goal of making 200 fully imprinted saddled deinos. hopefully i can get it done before fear launches, if worse comes to worse i can always use some mutated carnos i bred on the side as extra force. im debating on whether i should ride a deino or fight the dodorex in a mek.
  11. wrf wc, only 2 creatures, i can name at least 5 creatures which direly need a tlc megalodon mosasaur plesiosaur carno bronto quetzal pteranodon mammoth spider onyc dilo icthy with such a large roster of creatures that NEED a freakin tlc, you only chose 2. i bet ya they are not even ones that need a tlc.
  12. not complaining, just stating the truth, but now that we have access to flyers with mounted firearms, alphatribes will leave ground tames and reach to the skys, thankyou WC, thank you.
  13. anyone else see the gun on its back, well, here comes another pvp destroying flyer, this time, with guns on its back.
  14. ok so the last few days have been hectic on the server. our tribe is at war with another tribe (nothing toxic) because i accidentally killed one of their people and a bloodstalker. in my defense they were near our base and i was a bit worried so i took care of him. so after the first attempted attack on our main base we realized we needed more defenses. yes we have a lot of turrets as is. but we do not want to loose our base. so Riley and i went out to tame some turtles. holy crap does it take forever, the 180 turtle we found which had very high hp (using HLN-A) it would be constantly attacked by sharks and the swarms would occasionally hit it. i was sitting on a sea stack hauling any fish out of the water and shotgunning the occasional shark, at one point some turd decided to shoot our turtle as he was nearly tamed. after a while i left to get a snack. came back to see Riley had tamed it up. Riley went back and got the breeding pair we had used before. we added the health into a new pair and began breeding them. we saved a few mutation we ended up with and combined them into triplets 2 females and 1 male. we bred them a few more and ended up with 10 turtles ready to be used as turret tanks. when back at base we killed about 50 rexes each with the turtles (yes we have that many rex eggs) pumped all into HP. we then made some acs saddles that had around 100 armor which i dont remember us getting. they were super expensive but worth it. i spent forever killing bugs in the bog with a frog and sloth and riley was smashing rocks like mad lad. Skull and Joe both grinded bullets. each turtle had about 20-30 heavy turrets on their back as well as one mounted miningun and one mounted rocket turret. we called in a few favors and managed to get another tribe of 4 to join us. we devised a plan to attack their base as TIB had scouted it out earlier and found a weakness, they supply their turrets with 2 main generators. and each can be easily destroyed with a well placed rocket. the plan was to use well placed rockets to destroy the generators and then use magmasaurs to brake down the metal walls. the turtles would act as defense for our group as they would quickly kill off any hostiles with their turrets, as well a tanking a few hit along the way. we had enabled fliers for the first 24 hours of the war to allow for scouting and possibly resource transferring to be done easily, we used this to our advantage as we had tamed some argents and tapejars. btw we used a tek teleporter to transfer the stuff, we aint spending forever walking 10 turtles across a biome. we sent 3 turtles in to tank the bullets and draw fire while Riley while holding my in the argents talons flew from another way. i had 3 rocket in case of missed shots. we came across a problem, when i blew up the generator room the turrets did not turn off, so we figured they had more gens around the base. we improvised and used some turtles and magmasaurs with high HP to tank the hit. we had a bunch of pigs sitting on some turtles and 2 yuty's courage roaring, we used ambergris on the magmas to heal them fast. while the rest of us shot at the gate. we eventually made a hole into their base. but we still had turrets firing. so we shot a few magma balls and managed to brake most, we sent in a trio of magmasaurs ridden by me, Riley and skull. a lot of their tames must have been in cryos as their were barely any in the base. we spewed magmaballs everywhere destroying their base. the tribe eventually realized they were being raided when someone spotted us attacking their base. we eventually flattened the base to the ground and took what resources we felt we had earned for the raid. all in all we took a lot of their resources like metal, gun powder, polymer and paste as well as about 1k element. we left the rest of their stuff in some vaults that were code locked. i messaged them the code and they got their stuff back. i think that will be the last we see of them for a while. again this is not a toxic war. we done it for a but of fun and they accepted to the terms that either tribe can attempt to wipe the others base. btw i have been typing this over the past 3 days when i have had the chance. a bit of an update. we have had complaints from small tribes about us wiping the other big tribe as they are now worried we will wipe them for fun. i reassured them as technically the supervisors of the server we dont wipe small tribes, if they desire pvp raiding with us there are restrictions in place for both sides. the other alpha tribe still play but they have moved off of gen back to rag. i got word from allies on other maps that they are pretty salty about our win and planning a full scale raid on some of our other bases. again its part of the server rules that they can go this so long as the targets accept. we are deciding on whether we will accept or not. anyway over the past few days i have been working on a magmasaur breeding base. its not done yet but hopefully it will work for what i plan to do. also really cant wait for crystal isles this winter
  15. ok well message me and i can invite you to our discord server.
  16. albertosaurus is a good one, gorgosaurus is another as it lived in snowy areas. the feathered rex was basically a rex that was engineered to be an effective hunter in the cold. one that was recently discovered in Canada that my friend is obsessed with is the reaper of death, the new tyranid found in Canada. we chose the wendigo because one of my friends lives in the area where its story is passed down and he had been working on a model for it. if you like i can message you mt discord tag and invite you to the server where we have been working on the maps.
  17. i am in a group with some friends of mines. we are working on a ocean map rn, but we planned to make a sky based map and frozen map. we had ideas for the frozen map including creatures. like a feathered rex, and the wendigo.
  18. so played at Riley's again yesterday. after realizing something was up with the magmasaur and the metal disappearing and it taking forever to forge we decided the old way was best, shoving it into our industry forge room and letting it smelt there. me feeling a bit cocky decided to go to the lunar biome. but before that i decided to make a mining drill. we have this sort of currency on the server in the form of electronics, since its so common on most of the maps we made it a form of currency. riley had taken a ferox and an asc chainsaw and harvested a lot of tek dinos which meant we had a lot of electronic. grabbed 5k and zoomed off to the community market. we have this shop were you can trade in a primitive item and electronic and have it upgraded of sorts. its a bit too complicated to explain so i will spare details. i got my mining drill improved and went to the lunar. well bad idea, there were asteroids everywhere, drones and defense units everywhere. i harvested as much element shards as i felt safe to then headed back. got around 50K shards from that so was pretty happy. until i remembered the red crystals in the volcano gave them as well. so Riley and i went there. we took dud stalkers in case of an eruption. i would harvest the resources while Riley keeps everything busy. after multiple eruptions and a few hours we had cleaned out the volcano. we had somewhere around 1000 element worth. that is what 5x harvesting with an op mining drill will get you. we crafted it up and stored it away in out secret vault hidden in our base. we had a duo tribe asking for help to get magmasaur eggs so we volunteered. they wanted to do it the legit way so no teleporting out using HLN-A. we lent them blood stalkers as they had tame dthem but plannd to breed them to combine stats. as we took them in one of them spots the nest ares and dives for it, he is instantly killed and the stalker follows. so i painfully colelct his stuff and we head back out, riley and i inform them on how to steal the eggs and how its easy to dies. so riley and i head in first and draw the creatures attention away from the nest. they swooped in stealing the egg. as we were ready to head out the volcano began to erupt, as i went to deplot a web a bunch of onyc swarmed me making it hard. as i tried to back up i fell into the lava and got swarmed by magmasaurs. the volcano blew and well. rip. lukcily i had nothing of value on me and the stalker was a dud. the lava biome is nasty for even veteran players. as a form of repayment they gave us some cool ferox mutations. while nothing too good the colours are pretty sweet. well after that riley wanted to do something more chill and took the turtles down to breed. i decided to grind as we had somehow gotten low on resources. as i was sitting around passive grinding and breeding some theriz's and X spinos. now lately that mega tribe that is rivaling us has been quite active. raidng people and building up. as i was breeding the spinos outside i spotted a blood stalker near our base. i grabbed my op rifle and oneshot the rider. it was someone from the mega tribe. i also killed his stalker as it was a danger. later on when grinding bullets i get a message in global chat with the tribe leader declaring full on war. i thought they were joking or bluffing. but when someone attempted to kill me on a blood stalker while out collecting stone near the base i knew they were serious. so i called on the entire team and also called up a few allied tribes including the duo tribe we helped. i preped our forces and fortified the base. riley and skull transported all of our valuable tames to our hidden base (mega tribe i know you will read this at some point so my mouth is zipped shut). while i moved all of our resources to our warehouse hidden in the lunar underwater biome. about an hour after the war declaration we saw the first wave. a bunch of stalkers were scouting the base. we deactivated all the turrets to make them think we were not ready. i then took a few shots at them with my longneck, killed on and finished it off with a flamethrower. one player got me, but i had my shotgun ready and killed the player in 4 shots. i then flamed grilled the other. a while later we spotted a small group of magmasaurs, about 4-5. a few of the others started freaking out as they can wreck metal. but i reminded them that the colder it is the weaker they are. or at least from what i know. we had joe riley and skull mounted on turrets on the back of turtles and i was on my ferox (still no name) with 100% addiction. we easily took down 2 before they got to our walls. managing to make a hole big enough to get in, they then attempted to retreat. problem was they dismounted their tames so we picked them off easily. we soon killed the magmasaurs and took their loot. we got alot of C4s, so we decided to set traps on paths we figured they would come along, as well as narco traps. second wave came in the form of waves of X rexes. bout 20 of them. they came straight though the C4 trap. i set them off and got almost half of the entire army down to low health. riley mounted on the rocket turrets started laying fire down on the rexes, one by one they fell. i then took out my ferox and tore through the rest of them. they retreated and said in chat it wasn't over. btw it is now the b]next day and more happened yesterday. but i gonna type it in the next post.
  19. so i went over to riley's again yesterday. riley had been planning to get magmasaur. riley had bred out 4 dud stalkers each. we went in their and spent the first bit killing all low levels, there were surprisingly little low levels, most of them were over 156. as we stole some eggs the erupting icon appeared so we scrammed out of there, our first run had gotten us 174, 174, 168 and a 156. but we spotted multiple 180s and wanted them eggs. while waiting for the eruption to stop we found a cool blue 180 X anky. as i was cryoing it a freakin lavaball smacks down and kills me. luckily the anky was in the pod so it survived. we went back in and after and we came out like kings. i managed to grab 3 180 eggs, riley grabbed 4 180 eggs. we ended up with some awesome looking magmasaurs including a somewhat blue one. i took my new anky out and a dud magmasuar and we went to the lava biome to gather some metal. for some reason even though i gave it like 10 rows of meat it was not eating, when i activated the forge mode and harvested some metal and transported it to the magmasaur it took forever to actually cook the metal. i then used the magmasaur to harvest metal and some other stuff, once its food hit rock bottom it started eating but was not gaining food, when the meat was gone it began eating the wood and stone (or at least i think) because the resources were disappearing. so either it bugged or i am missing something. also wanted to breed them till i found out how to breed them. they need to be in lava. how the hell do i do that? seriously, i cant swim in lava.
  20. so went to riley's yesterday and stayed the night as he lives close to school. i mentioned before that riley wanted to live in the ocean biome. well he had been grinding since i left the day before. he had leveled 40 times in just crafting structures. (we have nearly defualt player stats but you can get to lvl 200ish with players). so since he had taken all the hard work out of the grinding we deicded to travel over and search for a base location, well we placed a metal platform near a spot where there are alot of turtles, however eels and sharks are also pretty common there so we gotta be carful, because we had no real sea mounts we brought our bloodstalkers. did you guys know you can still swing when over burdened. its so awesome and makes them so good. if they were slightly higher in terms of base health and melee they would be my new fav creature. anyway i placed the platform and asked riley if he had a nice base design. he said no and thats why he mass made structures, so we could go crazy. i said that i knew a design. i watched syntac's vid where he made an ocean base using the platform and based it somewhat off of that. sadly we were restricted by stupid ark building rules. it came out fairly well. we had a tame stable for a few tames. required crafting tables like smithy, fab and chem bench. btw can you snap to foundations together, we wanan know so we can expand the base more. riley said he wanted to tame some turtles but i wanted to go to lava biome. well we decided to split to get more done at once. well i went to the lava biome with a handful of structures in hand and scoped out a good PvP spot. we had made a server rule where the lava biome was mainly for PvP which we thought was a good idea, the community felt the same way. well i picked out an awesome spot near the volcano. that was a bad idea. not even 15 minutes in and i get hit my a lava ball from the volcanoes. everything was destroyed. luckily i had venom in a cryopod. well i spawned at base and took out my ferox (still needs a name if anyone has one) and went to collect my body. was coming back on venom when i spotted a really nice red X rex, riley randomly activates events to reward the players for their donations and help. so rn it was Christmas on the cluster (i only wanted colours) i had 500 shock dart on me so i had more than enough to knock him out. i made a trap and lured him in. knocking him out was the easy part, taming him was hard as soon as he went out everything started attacking, magmasaurs, rexes allos. so i had to get riley to bring me some kibble. we protected him until he was tamed and took him back to base. while taming him i checked his stats and he had better melee and stam than what we currently had. so i bred the stats into the line and had to redo the mutation breeding group which i plan to get onto soon. riley tamed 5 turtles all high leveled and bred them for their stats. we plan to use them as turret towers and tanks. i sold a few rexes for some required resources we were low on like element and paste. we done a bit of friendly PvP with some members on the server and helped a small tribe defend against the mega tribe on the server. as of now they have more PvP tames, however we have a better base and wepaons.
  21. i know they lose their dmg resistance, i mean the higher melee, the saddles can make up for lost HP.
  22. try using the X rexes from gen, they kinda better than the normal rex, but the downside is it will take time to mutate them again. anyway i agree on the afking and idle gameplay. when i singal player and mass breeding things like gigas, i just set the game to slomo 100 (i know it goes to 10 its an act of habit) and i use the players only cheat to prevent egg spoil or egg health loss and random hatching. know its cheating but i dont have the time to sit there. even with my current settings the breeding cool down is still like 20 mins to 1 hours, hell my mutation factory consists of 50 females and 10 males, out of 3 hours of afk speed breeding i get about 500 eggs which does not amount to much for me. strangely i seem to get mutations more often on servers than on signal player. i am also surprised my PS4 can handle it. although i have a portable aircon right next to it to cool it down.
  23. so this weekend was pretty eventful and hectic. on the weekend riley and i were taming and breeding feroxes. we managed to get a ferox with slightly over 10k hp when transformed. the calculator marked it as too high for the tames level so we got lucky, the final stats were all extremely high. i think we have the best ferox stats on the server. me being the crazed ferox fan i was wasted over 100 element on breeding. luckily we have place on the server where you can breed feroxes. so i managed to breed out a few mutations and ended up with a fully dark blue ferox, a fully green ferox and my desired colours, a red bellied and cyan bodied one. i managed to 100% imprint it. i also traded some coloured feroxes for 20 X rex eggs, nothing with good stats, just so i could get some levels on my ferox. after mass killing babies i had 20+ levels to pump. i bumped my feroxes melee by 15 and the rest into HP. btw can someone answer this, if you level a ferox's movement speed does its attack speed increase, and if its food in increased, does its transformation time increase. anyway i got real cocky and went to the bog beat down. using my new ferox. we smashed gamma and beta but alpha posed a challenge. my ferox was being swarmed and my armor was nearly broken. luckily he pulled trough and killed everything. i got a acs longneck with 500+ damage. after that i went to the lava biome to try out my new riffle. well after walking around on my blood stalker fr an hour or so i spot a 180 X rex, right next to it is a 164 X rex. jackpot. i quickly throw together a trap and lead the 150 in. i feed it kibble and in 30 minutes he is up and ready to go. i then cryo him and knock out his friend, feed her kibble and tame her up. riley then tells me he has spotted some more high level rexes throughout the biome, so i go on a taming spree and end up with 12 rexes. is it just me or does genesis have better level rarity than the other story maps. its dino level rarity is like that of the free maps. so i head back to base and breed up, i managed to get the health and melee into a male, and the stam and weight into a female. i gave them a brake and realized we were low on some resources. so i done quite a long resource run. after a few hours of grinding i managed to get out 100K metal ingots, 200K stone, 50K paste, 5K oil, 20K polymer, 5000 element and a few other things. as i was building a 5th industrial forge and 5 more chem benches i heard a explosion outside the base. i saw alot of damage numbers and realized we were being raided. i fed our ferox squad of 20 and charged out. whistling them to aggressive, it was one of the bigger tribes on the server. they were not as built up as us but they were stacked on combat tames. they had 3 magmasaurs, like 10 blood stalkers, 5 feroxes and 2 turtles. they then decided to throw out a space whale. i called joe, riley and skull on to help me fight. skull and riley used blood stalkers to kill the players. i stayed on the ferox to kill the bigger tames and joe used our spare dud rexes. well in the fight we lost half of our rexes, a few feroxes, 5 blood stalkers. we managed to defend the base but w ehad more loses. once we had killed 2 magmasuars, their whale, one of their turtles and a ferox they retreated, we also killed them a few times but they had a spawn hidden somewhere. we rebuilt the base and i made improvements. we heavy turrets, thick metal walls lined with spikes, alarms set, narcotic traps, every possible defence mechanism was used. by the time we were done fortifying the resources i had gathered was almost gone. i done a second smaller run to somewhat refill out supplies. i then went back to breeding som creatures. i managed to breed the rexes into a pair, i then bred them to haul out twins of different genders which i then got 6 females and 2 males out of. i then used them to get some mutations which i have stored in a fridge in out secure vault. in the time i had done that riley had tamed a but load of blood stalkers with good stats, so i bred them up and got use 2 breeding groups. i monitored one and riley monitored the other each consisted of a male with 6 females circled around. we got some cool mutations which i stored away for future uses. me being desperate for a better stalker. well i had bred myself a nice pitch black one and named it venom II, riley bred a mutated fully red one which he called carnage. mines had a few muts into health and melee but it was not heavily mutated. rileies on the other hand was stacked purely in health and melee after he lost to a X rex with an old one. we went out and tamed a bunch of random creatures which could pose useful for PvP like yuty's pigs, barys and theriz. riley wants to start on an ocean biome base. since we now have a sarco, bary and spino breeding line he says its time we expand to the water. so i built some metal platforms and gave them to him. so overall we had a successful weekend. we survived a full scale raid, improved the base and i tired myself to the point of collapse. literally i have not slept over the entire period of the weekend. when i got home i collapsed into my gaming chair and played some much deserved TF2 with my friends. one thing that worries me is if those raiders come back and i am not there, we may lose the base. since i am the best and honestly only PvP player in the server. btw we are located in the arctic biome. not gonna say where as i know people on the server i play on monitor the forums and this thread. so good luck finding that out guys. ?
  24. Wc let me just say how happy i am that crystal isles is coming, also i bet it the brachi. cant wait for the TLC
