A couple of friends and I have a small server running that any of you wonderful nerds can come gently caress each other up on. http://ark-servers.net/server/36962/ (it's bumped to 8x taming and breeding because gently caress watching dinosaurs sleep for hours) Also the pvp and raid timer is being turned off when i get home for full time unadulterated rear end hattery. I'm the only active admin, and have logging turned on and all that fun stuff so I'm fair game for raiding.

Use a Ptera to zoom close enough to spam whistle follow and gtfo. Unless there was a butte tonne of dragons in which case they might kill the tame as soon as you load them back in, before you can get close enough to whistle. Also spam passive whistle or the tame will ignore the follow command if it's already aggroed. It's worth giving it a shot.

Aberration is fun. Lack of anything that properly flies is different. Big jumping crabs, glider suits and gliding with rock drakes make for some interesting gameplay. Extinction update/dlc is supposed to be only a few weeks away too. Scorched earth is bullshit. Don't bother with that map unless you hate yourself more than a reasonable amount.

As far as I'm aware it's still a separate expansion and will be available on its own as well as with the season pass. I found temperature mechs in aberration reasonable, maybe a little on the harsh side in the starter zones though.

I keep trying to come over and play with you guys but can never connect to your server  I'm done with official servers until something is done about meshing or the people abusing it. Its hard enough to compete as a solo player on small tribes without this bullshit.

It's entirely possible I didn't add the port. Out of curiosity what are the taming and xp multipliers for your server? It isn't mentioned in the server thread op

Movement speed, stamina and weight are your friends early game. That will allow to to outrun most of the nasties you come across on the beach. Getting a 2x1 thatch hut with a sleeping bag or three is essential, upgrading that to stone ASAP and getting a proper bed. From there you can make short trips into the wild and start to learn. Keep your kits cheap (stone tools, cloth armor) until you get a feel for what and where you can go in relative safety. 95% of the stuff you will encounter near the beaches in the 'safer' spawn zones are unable to destroy stone structures, if you get something bigger angry with you, kite it as far away from your house as you can. Preferably into the sea, and let it kill you. You can pretty much ignore it after that, or go back just into render range where it will sit inactive but spawned and drown after a few minutes. Once you get to grips, and you have some tames under your belt you should be able to venture further and use more expensive items and actually fend for yourself.

It's possible from a griff. Just remember to put the griff on follow. Otherwise it's going to try to land half the time when you get out of the saddle to take the shot. Shooting from the saddle isn't always an option. The other option is use an agent and grapples. Whistle agent to attack your target while you hang underneath. Whistle passive when you are close enough to take a shot, rinse repeat. It's slow and painful, but works.

Actually had so much fun playing last night with Thonde. It's been a while since I've enjoyed Ark. Even if I killed him and couldn't save his Ptera from a vulture because I'm an asshat and didn't realise pvp and player damage was enabled

You don't have to get out of the saddle no, but being able to get out of the saddle gives you better angles sometimes. It's better to have the option, and all you need to do is make sure the griff is set to follow you. Yes, we were on Yagrum's yacht club

Baryonyx. Nasty poisonous poo poo bag. I'm on the quetzal hunt next. Derped a 133 that decided to have a nap in a river  Tamed up all the farming dinos I need for the second, apart from an Angler for pearls. I hate the water.

I saw one of the basilasaurus taking damage there but couldn't see what or where the damage was coming from. His nose was poking out the gate but nothing was in sight.

I was riding her when a lobster knocked me out underwater and I drowned, no death message for the dino, but she's not where I died or anywhere nearby. Just annoying. Like she despawned. So if someone sees a Baryonyx in Viking Bay named Sushi, lemme know. I found her and tucked her back to bed in your house.

I nearly lost his bary again. Went on a loop of the bay to check for her, found her chomping on a megladon, killed the shark turned around and the bary had vanished again. Dialed down to low graphics and found her hiding in a clump of seaweed.

I didn't have GPS to give accurate location. But she's def rescuable

Im happy to wait another couple of weeks for the issues to be smoothed over a bit. It's a map built for using tek. So unless you have the engrams for tek already some of the late and end game stuff is going to be off the cards.

Definitely try out a whip I tried a whip with no luck, and then my perfect 210 tame female Ptera with sick stats got nuked by a lightning Wyvern, so I gave up playing with dragons for a bit until I've got some decent bred pteras.

So it's possible that egg spoil timers are broken again. And eggs that should have spoiled in the nests are still there in theory, hence whipping. But as soon as they are enter inventory they spoil. I'm going to risk another couple of runs and have a look. E. Yessssss. Spoiled as soon as they were whipped. Toxic buddy, can you log in and abuse your admin ability to go whip all the nests please

Finally got a strat for Wyverns. I have a behemoth gateway trap with some pillars in the front, plus two 90' gates at the back set to open with a keypad to block the exit. Go into the caverns and whip up as many nests as I can before eating aggression from wyverns, then kite them back into the trap for milking /killing. 98%of the time I get an egg that insta spoils, but I have have managed to whip up a couple of low level fire eggs with some semblance of spoil timer remaining. I'm ignoring the lvl28 for now, but the 84 is hatched and growing away nicely. I've also tamed a number of decent pteras for breeding and sacrificing to steal eggs. No more using my best pteras. lovely stats breedlings only.

So the 90' gate and keypad trick works a treat, and has helped me clear out the old Wyvern spawns in the NE and whip up the majority of the old spoiler timer problem eggs. The eggs still are not visible, so it's a gamble each time I go for an egg. Lucked in with a 266 poison, wish it was fire or lightning but should suffice once he's cooked.

twistedmentat posted:So how hard is it to get a dragon? I've read the guides and they make it sound really, really involved. Getting the egg seems like the easiest part, and getting it to the right temprature also seems pretty easy with air conditioners. Its the capturing a drake to milk it that confuses the hell out of me. Its not overly hard. Stealing the egg is the easy part. Getting away from the mother that chases you is a little more tricky. We have a trap set up so you kite the angry into it after the theft, and milk/kill. It's then just a case of keeping it topped up with milk in the inventory. Wyverns drink milk until full grown, and they will only take it from inventory, not from a trough. Milking Wyverns is as simple as knocking a female out and taking the milk out of its inventory. Next time you are online at the same time as Thronde or I we can show you our setup.

Just kite them out into the sea and fly to the edge of the render range. They go inactive and drown. Everytime I die to a giga I go out on a rampage and slaughter them all.

I only just got the most basic metal engrams so I am still working just in stone. Though I'd been smelting tons of metal and hoarding cementing paste. The reason I setup in the place I first did was that dead turtles would appear on the beach and that was a good way to get karentin. Also the dead dolphins give organic polymer. Doors are always the obvious entry point to a base and cost less explosives to pop, drop a dodo or other easy disposable tame inside the door so when they pop it kills the low level tame and gives you a log to the ballsack loving your poo poo.
