ARK:Survival Evolved

Lone Stone

oww ark, spent an hour and half looking for a spino over lvl 10 180ish narc arrows didnt k'o, today i decided il go get more hawks for carrying metal tame one 2 seconds later a rex runs out of no where bites him dead, so i tame another nearly home 20ish of those little flying bug bastards swarm it dead in 2 seconds ..

Cravez

I haven't tried the game (but want to in the future) but what's the story with the taming? I've read posts here and other forums that taming can take a long time? Do you have to be actively at the animal/dino the entire time or is it passive where you set it to tame but you can go off and do other stuff?

TheKells

I tend to start taming and then go off and do other things, just checking back every so often to make sure nothing is eating it or if it needs more food to tame.

Is there any chance of adding higher level dinos to the gaellord server? rare enough to find a high level dino.

Laviski

yup will do that now.

Tazzimus

Tried to tame a frog on Sunday, didn't go well, git knocked me out very quickly and then ate my clothes. Thankfully I woke up before anything else came along to eat me.

They seem quite handy to have though so gonna have a go again see how I get on, may avoid him this time/

Laviski, did you get your Rex back? I fed it for you after I knocked it out ha.

The Randy Riverbeast

Tried to tame a lvl 1 pachy. Thought he would be harmless so just lobbed 3 tranq arrows into him before he knocked me out and my monkey then killed him by throwing its own ****.

same happened to me except he ate me! I wasn't quite expecting him to be aggressive, thought he'd run away and I'd have to chase him. Got two tamed now, just get them into water and they can't attack you.


Gotta be careful when jumping too, they go massive distances so can end up jumping off a cliff a mile away and losing nearly all your health!

Lone Stone

Alas living near the swamp has taken its toll also my rex getting stuck in my floor tiles, i set out to find new lands and built my own ark to ferry my loveys across the sea. sadly as i demolished my vaults to recoop the matt's i had to drop the iron to move and got disconnected and it was gone when i logged back in >_< ffs lol

The Randy Riverbeast

I didnt know you could build that much on the raft. Been wondering how I was going to explore away from the south east coast. Guess naming my raft Deep Sea 9 was a good choice.

Lone Stone

i have a generator and some lights/ tuerret and storage boxs on it now to lol

Tazzimus

Where did you settle?
That island in the last pic is a decent spot, has metal as well.

Lone Stone

slowly getting there zzzzz need bed now 2am ...

Surprised that hasn't been eaten yet

The Randy Riverbeast

Anyone's raft acting weird? I've built up around mine and since yesterday I would get into the driving part which i didnt build on and get stuck "floating"

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like it's working fine again.

Lone Stone

behold ! for i have invented the first ever portable taming tower !!!
i tested it i ko'd stuff with out a taken a scratch, my genius knows no bounds take that dinosaurs.

on the official servers - yes it is still bit of a grind.

however on the gaellords i have boosted the gather xp and taming.

Give us your up vote

Lone Stone

Anyone fancy poping over for a some dinner at voodo's. Also i had a band of theifs die in my place today do lock up your stuff and things people.

TheKells

Gonna have to get turrets and such up now then. Name and shame the thieves!

Laviski

more peeps are joining so your defense need to be there

Tazzimus

High walls, gates and a **** load of angry dinos can be my defense.
Thankfully I keep everything locked up in mine anyway.

TheKells

Do high walls really matter much when you can fly over them? Dinosaurs and turrets the only options for defence?

Lone Stone

well they stop anyone from from trolling you if they just signed up to run around and trash peoples stuff

Laviski

create metal base.

turrets and species x plants with some dinos


then we you think its enough - more turrets.

TheKells

Seems they broke into my base, raided everything worth taking and killed some of the dinos.

Laviski

this will certainly spice things up a bit

Tazzimus

I may check on mine when I get home later so..

I'd hope my dinos were a decent level to take out a few people, one of my ptera's killed a trex I was trying to tame so they'd all be pretty strong.

I was enjoying the peace on the gaellords server to build without fear of coming back to rubble when I logged back on.

Building a full metal base is a pain in the hoop with the costs involved

Aye I was liking the quiet. Not sure it makes the server better to have dicks on it but meh. Killed all my birds too.

Tazzimus

I'm quite attached to all my dinos so I'd be pissed if someone killed a few. Fair enough if another big dino killed em that happens but other players would annoy me

Lone Stone

when i get on im building a prison and kidnapping one of said trespassers for the ransom of 1000 advanced ar bullets.

Lone Stone

Few of us are on the gaellords server.

rented a server from nitrado for a few days just to get into the swing of PVE - deadly game

So far i've been
Swallowed by a Megalodon
Trampled by a Bronto (hit him accidently while i was aiming at a Dodo)
Eaten by a Rex
Mauled by a Sabretooth
Fell off a cliff and died running away from a pack of Raptors

Any easy ways of getting oil besides nailing Trilobites all day long?

Get an Ichty or whatever those dolphin things are called. They swim fairly fast so you find oozing black rocks, mine them with the pick and run off before a megalodon gets you. I can get 50 in a few minutes once I found a quite spot.

The snow biome also has black rocks which give oil but the place is full of t rexes, wolves, sabertooths and mammoths having a battle royale.

Tazzimus

Got my rex and went on a rampage in the swamp, they are an absolute killing machine. Ima get me some pelt to head north tomorrow

TheKells

Be careful up north, I got my level 150odd T-Rex glitched on a tiny bit of ice. Still stuck there

Tazzimus

Thaddius won't be going near the north, he'll just be providing the material for me to head up that way, lots of mammoths are gonna die ha.

IT'S SO CUTE!!!!!!!


*cough*

Lone Stone

my beautiful spino got killed by a prime t rex sad times

Lone Stone

made a incubation room my dino's had the sex and dropped a fertilized egg

TheKells

How does it work then? trial and error at the minute?

Lone Stone

just set your male n female dino's to wander and they get this 4x4 heart icon flashing stack them with stone so they cant move and keep them beside each other, then they have a chance of dropping a fetilized egg, depending on the species they need to incubated at cretin temperatures or they loose health and die, then when they hatch you gotta feed them like crazy or they keel over and die apparently.

Tazzimus

Metal structures are a chore... 1000 ingots needed just for my foundations, 3am before I got most of them done, still a few in the middle to convert then I can start on walls and ceilings. Gonna take a while..

Lone Stone

yeah im building a little ship out of metal and its taken ages and now im wondering how that guy who is never on has a whole base made of it very suspicious indeed !! azuelberries..
