Newfag here, I'm playing official for the first time, what is the fastest method to power level playing solo? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
>>122749317
Get a bow with 200 arrows and go to mountains in search for an alpha
Abuse the shitout of the crap AI and kill it
Enjoy easiest levelup of your life2nd for /burd/
Ok so my friend is running a sevrer but has come across a problem
Anyone in the server can spawn in items and dinos. Someone spawned in a lv 1000 Do Do. and they certainly wernt admins
what do
>>122752413
Data downloads off.
why is trex and gig bigger than spino when irl its bigger?
why is gig the only dino stronger wild than tamed?
why is lag so common and notable?
Why does NFA PVP randomly keep disconnecting me with a timeout error during the early morning hours? Shit happened to me yesterday too, I got kicked just now while flying around on my freshly tamed level 120 Ptera. As we speak I still cannot see the server to reconnect. I will be mighty pissed if that thing dies.
ded thread ded gayme
sitting comfy in nfa pvp is boring.
can we do the server 8 pirate thing again? only do it properly this time..
either build a well protected pirate hideout and then start pirating
or
make a fleet of cheap shit boats and sprread them out, and hide secret cashes underwater with treasure and mats for quick new boat building
>>122761142
Just go be a pirate on nfa PvP.
Honestly it needs to be stirred up a little.
>>122763207
Attacking any well established tribe will get you nowhere
>it's a medium crop box blueprint
>>122749317
go to NFA PVP, there is literally no reason to play on officials.
>>122757805
If you were disconnected while in air, you are still mounted on your ptera, you will only dismount as you connect to the server.
So your ptera should be still floating in the air.
>>122763207
>>122763872
There needs to be people new to the game on the server.
Cultivating people should be priority, its really fucking odd that we had so many new tribes that weren't raided and they just stopped playing.
>>122771501
>no reason to play official servers
officials have a higher chance of not being dead
officials stay updated promptly, for better or worse
officials have 0 chance of admin abuse, confirmed on nfa
officials dont ban people simply because they did something that made everyone hate them, although weak people can get bullied out
they probably quit like i did after 2 days of fucking dead, although i didnt like the resource modifier and exp was too high
Nfa PvP is nice everyone knows each other. Even 8 people I'd pretty busy with a lot of shit going on
>>122772086
>officials have a higher chance of not being dead
Filled with chinks and southern good ol boys with disposable income for cheats.
>officials stay updated promptly, for better or worse
Update at 8pm guyz :^)
>officials have 0 chance of admin abuse, confirmed on nfa
I hope your not referencing NFA PvP because there has never been admin abuse.
>officials dont ban people simply because they did something that made everyone hate them, although weak people can get bullied out
No Officials are a cluster fuck of griefers and faggots that will buy hacks the minute shit goes south for them.
Why in the everloving name of Christ would you put any time on a server where hackers can fuck you over.
Power Rangers were on 355 since the beginning, they had a regular group of people with huge weapon stockpiles and dinos.
Yet even they were taken off 355, its ridiculous anyone would want to smash a rock for hours, just so some faggot and his butt buddy would take everyone out.
>although i didnt like the resource modifier and exp was too high
The exp could be lowered it was only as high as it was to get people on 355 back to speed, but the resource modifier is phenomenal.
>>122773980
1. has no relevance to my point, and good servers like mine are chinese free because were not shit at the game when it comes to efficiency
we do have 1 tribe of spanish i havent seen in days
2. you just have brain problems
3. l o l
alternatively see 2
4. youre going to have to define griefing, because clearly we dont share views on that
some faggots i dont even know do not affect me at all nor does their story ring true on all servers
hackers can be banned by simply messaging devs with proof, and its not as if nfa is hackproof so you can fuck off thinking any of that matters
5. silly reason for exp, opinion for resource is whatever
tldr: youre bad and those arent objective arguments against my points
thank you come again
>>122775118
>has no relevance to my point, and good servers like mine are chinese free because were not shit at the game when it comes to efficiency

Oh I see your new to the game and have no idea what its like to deal with the Chinese.
Also no dude you are not as good as you think you are because no matter what your are subject to chinese abuse.
>you just have brain problems
No u
> l o l
Is this supposed to be a rebuttal?
>hackers can be banned by simply messaging devs with proof, and its not as if nfa is hackproof so you can fuck off thinking any of that matters
Holy fuck you just told everyone who has been in this thread for more then 2 months what a inbred simian you are.
PaDiddy had a wealth of evidence against him yet he was never banned, even with VAC he was still not banned.
Then he got hacked by the Chinese and HE gave proof and videos related to hacking, and they were never banned.
People complain constantly about nothing being done by submitting proof, when we originally made a thread about hacking we had some guy explain for TWO MONTHS he has been submitting proof of Russian hackers who still play.
The thread was locked and ignored.
>silly reason for exp, opinion for resource is whatever
Do you even know what your talking about at this point?
Good luck having anyone here want to play with you when your such a blathering moron your denying shit that we all had to deal with 2 months ago.
>>122775118
Why does xp need to be low?
>>122776084
there are no chinese on my server
that is a fact
you do have brain problems
it has been stated many times there has been admin abuse on nfa pvp
5 hackers have been banned from my server because of devs being contacted
boosting exp because some retards got bullied off their server for any reason at all is stupid
yea i am new to the general and i dont give any fucks about how long youve been here if youre a fucking moron who doesnt even know about the admin shit on nfa
dont forget to neck yourself
>>122776179
i just said it was too high, not that it needs to be low, just lower
>>122776485
>it has been stated many times there has been admin abuse on nfa pvp
Then your a fucking idiot, there have been claims without proof, no one has ever proven admin abuse, no screen caps, no videos, nothing.
>there are no chinese on my server
>that is a fact
For now.
>5 hackers have been banned from my server because of devs being contacted
Sure buddy, I totally believe your anedoctal evidence, according to some people (who have never encountered hackers), there aren't any hackers at all, so guess we are just making this shit up.
>boosting exp because some retards got bullied off their server for any reason at all is stupid
Then your a fucking retard, because again if you were actually around during the time you would understand why that was done.
>yea i am new to the general and i dont give any fucks about how long youve been here if youre a fucking moron who doesnt even know about the admin shit on nfa
dont forget to neck yourself
No your the faggot who sees Sadbob copypasta and thinks its the truth.
Your retarded and full of shit, again I doubt anyone would want to play with you faggot.
kayd is a faggot
>>122776084
I've been on nfa PvP since it's third day. The closest thing there's been to advise was someone finding kamis old ascended bow and torch. Fucking woo. And sentinel toying around with gigas which only fucked up his own tribe.
No one wants original rates. The devs are retarded if they think I'm gonna tame a Rex for 4 and a half hours just so some fag could swoop down on a ptera and kill it or ruin is taming effectiveness.
Nfa PvP is honestly perfect with its rates, go fuck yourself.
>>122777315
Yfw it's sadbob you're arguing with.
>>122778190
Wrong nigga, nigger.
>>122778357

You mean the dinos he helped people tame because the update fucked them up?
Abwussssssssseeee!!11111
>free for like 4 months even if 1 showed up we could easily bully them harder than those ranger kids
Again you have no idea what your talking about none at all. 355 has a 70 player limit, at the height of the Chinese invasion they had 35 players on locking out anyone who logged in.
They had several aimbots which can snipe anyone off a dino the minute they entered rendering view, they can snipe you even when your rolled up in a deod.
They managed a all metal base that rivalled any big tribes base in 2 days.
You have no idea what you are talking about, the best part is you are talking to vets who have seen what the chinese are capable off.
Everyone who thought the chinese were no big deal on 355 has been forced off.
>not the source retard
>correct i personally do not
So you have no proof, all you have heard is an admin has loaded something into the game.
Yeah your a faggot, you have no idea what your talking about and making claims with no evidence other then anedoctal evidence.
What server are you on faggot, I want to have fun with your bootyhole.
>>122779285
>spawning in blueprints
>losing to chinese

>>122780512
lol stay mad over chinese who cant run my server
stay mad youre brainwashed by an admin who spawned in prints
stay mad you are losing an argument over the internet
>>122780783
Who is losing the argument?
The winner of an argument isn't decided by the people arguing its by the observers.
People have already pointed out your full of shit.
>stay mad youre brainwashed by an admin who spawned in prints
You mean the prints that he put in the admin funhouse for people to loot?
You admitted you have no idea what your talking about, your just throwing shit hoping it sticks.
>lol stay mad over chinese who cant run my server
Which server is that?
Also from what I've seen its only a matter of time, everything people predicted regarding the Chinese has come true.
I knew they would be a problem when I started Somalia, and I was right, the ones who didn't believe where wiped, tribes that had all metal bases with endless amount of turrets and high level dinos.
All wiped, and you admitted your a new player so you haven't experienced much.
Your naivete will wear off soon when the chinks wipe you.
>>122780783
Chinese don't bother with unofficialls, but I'm sure you're better than the 4 different tribes who fought off the Chinese in 355 the first time. Come play nfa PvP if it's too easy and site is your skills bruh.
>obligatory aqualad drama is shitting up the thread omg can we talk about the game gusy
I might be game for a new pirates gig. Official rates suck but at least we could have someone to fight. I would suggest we try primitive if we do though.
Or we could pick a high rate server, stir some shit, and eat our bans before hurting some other butts.
>>122782073
I really dont feel like having another time sink of a server and going to unofficals is a dice roll if the admin is a butthurt fuck that would ban a chungor
>>122781308
no nigger i never said i was a new player
i said im new to the general, nice reading comprehension
he used and gave the prints to his friends before they got raided from someone else fucktard
we had chinese twice 0 problems 0 remain
if they return we will eternally camp them for that is the fate of their people
arguments are not decided by the observers
>>122781649
i know they dont bother with unofficials because they would just get kicked or banned, i never said they play them
i am better than some rejects who got bullied off a server by some asians because they cant defend shit with months worth of a head start
im not going to play a shit server i already said im not playing on
>>122782073
at least this thread isnt dead yet, the last like 4 died before 100 posts easy, you fucks can thank me, i enjoy their autism sperging
>>122782235
Well, I'm talking ridiculous high rates. Strong chance that means no one cares if we blow their shit up, but maybe they'll get worked up.
Something fast enough we could be a wandering plague, causing waves of destruction before the inevitable cure rolls around and we repeat the process on a new server. Then you can just keep everything you care about on NFA, where you don't need to play ten hours a day to get things done.
I'm not much a fan of officials. I'm sort of curious how much damage we could do if we avoid the major time sinks.
>>122782518
>All this low quallity bait and people actually falling for this
> who got bullied off a server by some asians because they cant defend shit with months worth of a head start
The funfact is that Pashitty attacked them with a trex and fullload of esp/aimbot longnecks against 1 day old chink spearwielding tribe and lost his shit to them
I am GLAD we quit 355 , never have felt better
>>122782518
>no nigger i never said i was a new player
>i said im new to the general, nice reading comprehension
No your definitely a new player, only someone this new could think they are so good.
>he used and gave the prints to his friends before they got raided from someone else fucktard
For someone who has admitted to not having a lick of proof you seem pretty self-assured of your unprovable events.
>we had chinese twice 0 problems 0 remain
Sure ya did bub
>arguments are not decided by the observers
So they are decided by those arguing? What brilliant logic I'm sure the people in heated debate are reliable to judge the merits of their own arguments.
This is your brain on new.
>>122783089

Would you guys rather do primitive or just normal for pirates?
>>122792225
prim
>>122792225
Primitive will be easier to reach max tech, and we won't have to deal with bullshit technology. The weapons we'll have easy access to will be really all we have to worry about facing.
On the other hand, does primitive still have explosives, or will we require ballista in order to break into stone houses? Additional problems depend on whether we have rifles or not, since countering dinos will be a huge problem.
We need a (you) count for how many people are interested. If only a few people are interested in actually playing it, it may be difficult. Then again the aqualads started with just a few of us and picked up steam once we had the first lighthouse set up.
>>122793002
You cant make explosives on prim but i dont know about rifle's prim would make raiding pretty hard
Meanwhile in NFA PvE
>>122793523
>tfw bros helped me tame my spino yesterday
Thanks guys.I always forget to turn my gamma back down for daytime
>>122793523
I just get no entertainment from PvE.
Its boring knowing you will never be threatened.
You guys fine with official53 for pirates?
>>122794568
I find fun in collecting dinosaurs and building a huge pretty base in a cool location and helping out my fellow survivors. Losing hours upon hours of progress to some doucheknob while I'm offline isn't entertaining to me. But, to each their own, thats why there are PvP and PvE servers.
When I play single player can I do all the admin comands?
I play on a private server and there is a rule saying that passive dinos in a pen must not be killed. Someone killed mine anyway and the admin spawned them back in.
Now I'd like to just spawn a lot of shit in single player to test it if that's possible?
>>122792225
You can't have good pirates without black powder pistols and cannons. In fact, why don't we have canons? What a travesty. Guess you'll have to use catapult turrets as a substitute.

>>122809937
Ha, you think that's bad? I tamed a 120 Ptera today too, I took it flying around collecting blueprints and was heading home with my haul and saw another beacon, and thought to myself "just one more". Landed on it, go to open it up, suddenly SNAKES EVERYWHERE, Ptera is is flying around like a fucking psychopath so I can't get on him, somehow manage to pike them to death, immediately pass out from snake venom, think it's OK because I already killed the snakes, then come the bugs to feast on my unconscious body. I never did manage to find that Ptera or that corpse bag. Lost every blueprint I collected and the Ptera.
>>122815775
>taming level 120 pt
>see red beacon spawn not too far off
>PT is in a area that has carnivores occasionally
>>122794568
This isn't a game I play to be competitive or for action. I play it during the shitty hours for my internet to chill and for dinosaurs. I've got other games that have not mediocre pvp.
>>122820831
Huge tribe versus huge tribe has a higher skill cap than almost any game ive played that wasnt RTS. The flow of dino and resources for 20 man + tribes during warfare is insane and the logistics alone make it outstanding.
Where else other than mountaintops can I find a decent stream of metal? On my server, the most powerful tribe has built metal farming pens and turrets on all the major mountaintop farming spots.

I also like the different behaviour. What was the other dog-sized dino they added to dossiers a couple of months ago?

How is it not a meme dinosaur?
>>122845713
>How is it not a meme dinosaur?
It is
Every new dino is a meme dino
I was commenting that anon broke the tradition of posting new dossiers in the thread with the obligatory "new meme dino" text
>>122845440
I hope they are stupidly easy to tame (easier than dilo even), so my buddies can I can tame 50 of them and have compy gang wars
How do you put foundations on a raft so they are flush with the surface of the raft as opposed to being much higher? Somebody said it had something to do with pillars and foundations, but that doesn't seem to work.
>>122848267
It had something to do with buidling founds one on top of the others and then destroying them so the snap points get slightly altered in length and also lower
Fuck, it's been so long, living in the snow biome means that I learned to dread and hate water and everything that has to do with it
Oviraptor and Compy? Man these devs do work. My pals still fear the early access banner of death and call it a Minecraft+DayZ hybrid. Even if it is similar, I wish I could get them to see the light.

gig/rex bigger than spino
spino vs rex isnt even a guaranteed win for spino unless maxed vs maxed
gig is broken in design
only creature stronger wild
only creature with a wild only trait
only creature besides alphas to destroy stone
why do devs have such a hardon for shit gigs? irl they were literally bitches
>>122850837
>tfw jaded as fuck now
>>122850979
They were supposed to make them quite OP from the start, and up to x5 from rexes (which is more or less what a rex has on a raptor) would've made a nice challenge
But everything, EVERYTHING about giganoto, quetzal and mosa is broken as hell as they made it purely as a difficult task for the bored cunts who had spent the latest few weeks grinding and complained that there was nothing to do, both on pvp and pve
Take a look at how many DAYS hatching and mature a Quetzal or Giganoto takes, same for taming a Quetz/Giganoto/Mosa . A level 50 Mosasaurus takes 75 (seventy-five) quetzal eggs. Good luck finding and taming so many female quetz not to mention actually getting to that many eggs.
It's like the devs simply stopped caring and added another tier so completely above the previous ones it could as much be a different game.
>actually wanting to pirate on an official server
Enjoy throwing all your time away on aimbotters.
Remember the Mexicans from server 8? They all bought aim bots and literally went nuclear on everyone. Don't waste your time. Don't waste my time trying to bring me into that.

You only really need like 2 or 3 considering you can cook fertilized eggs.

The worst part is there's still nothing to do.
>>122858232
l m a o ok buddy
I'm an Ark Vet (from the days of TheStranded) coming back to the game, whats a decent established PvP Server without pants on head retarded modifiers?
>>122858232
3 females + 1 male means you have tamed 4 quetzal which is more than ever spawned on some servers.
Even then each female has to lay 25 eggs just to tame a level 50 mosa. A lv120 is 151 eggs.
>you can cook fertilized eggs.
And? Fertilized eggs drop has a cooldown too. I'm not sure you really considered this through.

Are Megalodons still the most viable water mount in terms of taming time, damage, health and speed?

I'll think about it. I haven't really played Ark much since Oceania fell.
I still barely understood the post-return to main server situation to be honest since I missed a couple of weeks
You were blogging a lot among yourselves but without providing references, so the last thing I got is that those who were online at some point launched an unprepared attack on the mountain where PaDiddy was but were defeated because alleged aimbotters
Then you conquered whatever Mikeez had going on but got the ex-green obelisk base rekt by PaDiddy who allied with the Chinese and you had to resettle on the river base
From then it's a blur of details I couldn't understand anymore and I stopped lurking for a bit
surprised burds
Man I am having the same problem I always have in these games, my buildings are uninspired squares; anyone have cool/efficient base floor plans they can post?
>>122877358
Have you tried rectangles? They really need a way to rotate foundations so you can do more than box houses
>>122867463
I would screw around but I have little interest in grinding resources or dinos or anything really useful. I just want to hunt.
>>122870747
The aimbots are confirmed. Other than that your story only differs in trivial details, like padiddy not really doing anything to the obelisk base for weeks other than kill some dinos. At least for the first half of the conflict. The second half was going pretty well for us but official servers suck and we lost interest in it, because the aimbots sure weren't going away and it's hard to have a real fight with them around. Not to mention how shitty the community on 355 was. I hope they enjoy what happened, we tried to stop it.
>>122877812
I can make rectangles, it's just I automatically fall into making 3x3 or 4x4 floor plans and making stupid box shaped towers whenever I get into a new game, I really have to break the fucking habit so I wanted to see some other peoples' floor plans to give me some inspiration. Also I need to figure out what to put on which floor, how many floors, how tall each one should be, whether I should do certain things in seperate buildings, etc.
>>122878819
Eh, it all depends on what you have to build. A hatchery? An harbor? A cage? A small base? A huge one with everything? And where?
Anyway ARK is interesting because although it makes it hell with the snap points, you can experiment with shapes and having to make your floor plain before building, plus slopes and ramps. Just experiment.
>>122867463
I'm not game on official rates. No one wants to spend a week grinding before they can do anything reasonable.

I should probably just stop playing now then, last thing I need is for NFA PVP to suddenly kick me again to update itself and roll the server back half an hour or some shit so I log in on the back of my Rex in the middle of nowhere.
rip
Woah, I just discovered you can get the smithy snug against the wall if you smash the wall out and put it really close the edge, then build the wall again behind it. This really helps me out, it was bothering the shit out of me how I had to back so far away from the wall to place the fucking thing.
I will not be happy with this game until they bring back ocean danger.
This empty sparce ocean shit drives me crazy, there isnt even a challenge in getting ocean resources, new chars can just swim out without any fear for their lives or Items.
They should bring back the megalodons, not in the original hordes, but still enough to make new players think twice before going in the river.
>>122898951
Megapiranhas are the deadliest thing imaginable to a new player, you get unlucky and 2 or 3 show up at the wrong moment, you're fucking dead in seconds. You learn to fear crossing stretches of water. I always sit in the water for like 5 seconds and back off onto shore to make sure no piranhas show up to eat me before I decide to make a water crossing.
Update when?
>>122898951
I hate that mass spam of sharks. I'm cool with a wider variety of dangerous animals, but when you have to kill a shark every 5 feet, they lose their intimidation factor.
>>122866869
I'm on a new server with only one friend playing on the regular. We wanted to fortify our base first and there was no point in going back into the sea so far.
We started out on rafts that's why we got the shark but when we decided to settle we couldn't take him with us.
No big deal he was just lvl 26 but I still miss him
>>122900414
Also m friend keeps getting our birds killed he has managed to lose 3 fucking birds so far wtf
If I daisy chain a bunch of reservoirs together, will the active reservoir pull water from the other reservoirs, or will it only take a direct intake/rainwater?
>>122903279
yes
What animals that they haven't announced, would you like to see?
Elasmotherium master race here
>>122859453
Nfa PvP. You'll get early levels and simple tames easily, but the higher tier stuff still takes effort and time, just not retarded amounts. About 2 hours to tame a high level Rex.
I have a pretty well established tribe on there and we haven't even gotten more than 1 Rex yet. (Mostly cause I don't want low level ones)
Giga still going to be a pain in the cock.
>>122882582
>- Fixed underwater ice cave that was deleting Dinos
Is there some actual icy cave or they just mean the iceberg tunnels?
>>122898951
Well, they added the angler fish and mosa, we're going to get the giant squid, the water scorpion, manta, dunkleothing, electric eel and liopleurodon. Now I actually realize there are tons of creatures they have announced, holy shit
>>122905990
>not having a scorpion egg farm to tame level 120s ezpz
>>122905859
Giant short faced bear in the northern biome would be cool.
>>122906882
I said ones they haven't announced
>>122907465
They announced that? Fucking nice. Where's the list of already announced creatures then? Because I never heard anything about that.
>>122907620
46 in the game with compy and oviraptor today, 34 announced if I counted that right -just sort by "released" Y/N

They're probably still scratching their heads wondering why the official servers won't update. I find it really funny that the unofficial servers are like 2 patches ahead.

Lmao everyday, every day this shitty server is lagging and rubber banding. Everyday they pass 3/4 of the day fapping to gay porn and farming c4 for offline raiding. Everyday the gay weeaboo "Kami Sama" is a gay weeaboo, gay and a weeabo. Everyday griefers raid your shit for, hoping for a good loot to be shot deep into their assholes while trying to look "cool" with his awful offline raiding.Every Day Tunnel Snake "R A I D B O Y" raids peaceful people just to massage his ego, cause he is a neckbeard jobless autist. Every single day this goes on, and you people eat it up. You love it. This is absolutely disgusting. I'm disgusted and I hate every single one of you, every single miscreant that play in this horrid server, every single retard that replies Kami Sama's posts without sage, every single fan of this atrocious, revolting, insulting excuse for a "server".
>>122916719
>kami sama
That sexy boi left
>>122916719
I dunno how shit was back when you played, but NFA PVP these days is a brofest, I started on that server, got to a high level in no time at all by making tons of narcotics, built my base perimeter wall out of fucking thatch, and people just don't raid anything. Hell I only see like 8 people on tops, usually just a few including me. In fact, some awesome guy has repeatedly helped me tame stuff just for the hell of it. Also, as the motd specifically mentions: Kami is ded.

>>122898951
if you are on an unoffical server get your admin to wipe wild dinos. Trilobites take up shark and plesi spawns. We get a dino wipe every time a new dino is released and the ocean gets dangerous again. Lots more plesis.
>No oviraptor
At least the sea mine looks fucking sick. It says it homes on to players too. Cant wait to try that out

That's neuromancer s mountain home who are you
Seeing on the patch notes that theyre saying people should run around getting their compy gangs, which I can only assume is the devs way of saying the game has the gang buff for compys now. Does this mean that the wolves have their pack buff too or is it just compys?I wish I could check it out but I have 6 more hours of work to go.
>>122948223
Think it's just compy. They get a blue +X over their head where X is the number of compy around it.

>>122966817
If the server rolls back again and I lose the Pteradon I just found after 2 days of it being missing, I will be fucking mad. I was doing all sorts of dangerous shit on it and only landed at my house a couple of minutes before that shutdown.

tfw thinking about actually playing nfa pvp
Is NFA PvE down? Its not showing up in my favorites list.
>>122974085
Do it. I'll invite you to my tribe if you want, but you can solo pretty well on nfa PvP.
>>122977540
how many active people? i solod all the way to 75 on an official once, and it sucked
was lonely and i never had someone to do quetz wrecking ball with
>>122978095
I don't know the exact number, but it's relatively slow. Peak hours have 8 to 10 people.
Currently almost no one raids, but I'm silently preparing for war just in case.
>>122978424
well ill take you up on that offer, im eating right now, but ill hop on when im done
any start is better than a fresh start
ill hit up global chat in like ~30
>>122978656
I'm at work currently. I usually just keep up with the thread on my phone. I'm on every night though. I'll be on around 4pm EST. Post your character name in the thread and I'll come find you.
i am ready for this tiny nightmare
Hey Chung you ever abort that nigger baby?
Just a warning, Im pretty sure Armaholic wanted to set up shop in NFA.
>>122986376
Who? And I assume PvP because there's no need to warn anyone of anything on pve
So I got my scuba gear today at along last and that shit is confi, but am I supposed to be able to see underwater like I see above land? Feels dodgey.

>>122996446
Alright, updating now, it'd be faster, but Ark a shit, and even it's updating bugs the hell out.
>>122998105
yea it downloads quick as fuck and then the actual update is slow, but i always thought that was because my drives are dying
>>122998470
No, and god forbid you close steam while it preallocates because then it'll randomly delete 7.5 gigs of itself.
I have over 100 other games on steam and none of them have all these problems. I'm probably the only one not excited when this game updates, and often hope the server doesn't for awhile.
>>122998703
im at like 90 18 cooking food and killing shit
What a fucking incredible waste of time; I found a level 100 Spinosaur in a pit surrounded by rocks and spent like an hour taming it, only to find I can't get him out of the fucking rocks.

You could try boxing it so it glitches backwards a bit or something
Or put on a saddle and turn around?
Can you get a raft in there and glitch him on top of it?

It wont let you place foundations or pillars anywhere?
>>122981910
I let him starve
>>123003901
I can get 1 pillar in the middle of the area where he's at, I can try maybe making a tall platform and trying to glitch him up onto it

Those fuckers are also a bitch to breed half the time the egg doesnt drop and they hold 4 meat during baby

>tfw old Oceania is the best we'll ever get and most of us are sick of the game
>theyre useless anyways because theyre not autistic enough to spend money on cheating devices
>>123019932
I quit official 42 after some douche raided my house and took EVERYTHING and killed all my dinosaurs. The gathering rates are so fucking abysmally low and it takes way, WAY too long to tame dinosaurs. Seriously why should anyone ever need to sit around for like 2-5 hours taming a dinosaur? That's outrageous. Kibble isn't a real solution either. Kibble is for people who already have enough dinosaurs to farm eggs, it doesn't help a new player at all. At least on an unofficial server, I can level up less painfully, and if I lose all my shit, I can get back on my feet in a reasonable amount of time. The only other alternative is to join a large tribe on an official server.
Skydwellers are drunk and having some left beef.
>>123023151
