We’ve got a 3 man tribe going on a Valguero win10/Xbox cross play server if anyone feels like joining us, 1157 I think is the number. We got a metal 2 floor house going so far with 1 turret up protecting our windmill. Could use some goon help protecting it.

Depends posted:I'm not sure where the 6x structure damage multiplier stops in that cave entrance, I thought it extended until it opened up just past where you are talking about but I may be wrong. Not sure since while that area is a cave, I'm not sure how it operates since technically ALL of Aberration is caves which would mean the structure damage is in effect there as well.

In the main emerald forest area it's normal damage but in the entrance ramp area it's 6x to prevent people from blocking the way in. I'm just not sure where that stops.

Just after the first ramp leading down from my base. Every time I go down, there's a briefload pause so that's likely the spot.

Holy poo poo I saw a mech for the first time last night. Walked up to our outer walls and killed everybody in the base. We had 6 people on at the time and got wrecked. Luckily he didn’t trash the base cause I had just built an industrial forge. Seems like a matter of time though before someone comes in and burns us down. I can’t believe more people don’t play this poo poo.

Its actually never been more popular but its a big time sink and it was tough for me to keep the whole group as interested as I was. The group I was playing with a lot of them moved onto Minecraft to explore more of the base building stuff.

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of Valguero.

This game was fun in 2015. Five years ago, while there was still a relatively even playing field, before devs gifted alphas all their horseshit They thought this was a good trailer! Spacemen effortlessly crushing sleepy farmers underfoot, how Wildcard hosed ARK in a nutshell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC-d9tQ3iAo Jackard fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Dec 7, 2020 |

Wildcard has no restraint and doesn't understand pvp, they just throw poo poo at a wall to see what sticks. How many hundreds of gigs is this up to, now? "hey that sounds cool, let's throw it in" Their games are incoherent garbage.

We all kinda got bored at that level, then it was just another gear grind game. There's obviously tons of stuff you can do but with the base game none of the other mechanics are engaging enough. Like we started breeding and its an entire almost inexplicable mechanic that's also a huge real world time sink. I dunno, the most fun was exploring and it all seeming new but once it's an extremely janky halo clone it wasnt fun. The base building is kind of shallow and very "set it once and forget it" and also extremely janky so it does not feel at all rewarding to rebuild.

There's obviously tons of stuff you can do but with the base game none of the other mechanics are engaging enough. Yeah, and this is what I'm really on about when I talk about time and effort. The idea of people being able to come around and gently caress with your tames while you need to protect them from getting hit for the duration is neat, but in practice it means you'll just get frustrated when the seagull you didn't see divebombs the beach critter you're taming and knocks off half the taming effectiveness. The idea of being able to breed amazingly powerful creatures is some cool beastmaster poo poo, but in practice it means hundreds of hours of raising babies that will get wiped out the first time someone with a larger force rolls through. Plus, the ARK netcode and general jank makes PVP just as likely to come down to luck as skill. I'm guessing things are better on small tribes servers and servers with regular progress wipes or admin-run events to keep things fresh, but I'd have more fun cheese-gratering my dick than I would PVPing on official or even most unofficial servers.

i play on a server with my friend and my wife. it's just the three of us. we built a big beautiful wooden house. my wife is figuring out what colors she wants to paint it, i just built us a sitting room with a fireplace and a dance studio with drums and a bar, and my friend is building towers with parapets. eventually we'll go kill the boss to get some tek stuff. i dunno man there are fun ways to play ARK that don't involve getting instantly deleted by a 14 year old with a misspelled racial slur for a username.

I like how moddable ARK is for what it is though. There's a lot of fun there, but for me it wasn't spending an hour frustratingly shooting darts at something only to have the last hit not register and run out of ammo, or something to otherwise ruin the tame, or following a "friendly" creature for an hour feeding it berries to tame it.

Am I understanding the lore right, is Vin Diesel playing the guy who unleashed Tek poo poo and was that him like putting the genie back in the bottle? Or were they showcasing MORE tek poo poo? I swear the "this place is INCREDIBLY hostile and you know nothing" is the best and only fun way to play this game, once you start learning the lore and mechanics it makes me want to go play any other grinding game like Diablo 3.

Thronde posted:Holy poo poo that cast list is loving awesome. Which was even weirder in my mind than the trailer having janky CGI Vin Diesel. I'll be happy if it ends up being a smash hit but also this in Wildcard and their property so I expect something to go fantastically pear-shaped.

Lore wise, Santiago worked on some Tek stuff and was guy who made the Tek suits and whatnot which inadvertently caused WW3 when the at the time opposing powers got crazy with it on top of being more a tech savvy guy and hacker. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Santiago doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Dec 11, 2020 |
