Many burds and pteras laid down their lives today for the greater good of the Oceania Empire.
RIP.
Freedom isnt free.
In the coming days you will be serving your country by taming and breeding more.
How was the raid? They put up much resistance?

ANOTHER BLACK SOUL LOST TO THE WHITE MAN
Is this game fun?
>>146456657
Do you like sandbox survival games?
>>146456976
Can I tame and ride giant insects?
>>146457337
Yes
>>146457457
Can I fuck them?
>>146457545
Technically
yo when anyone gets on please fill the feeding troughs in the breeding pen a bit
>>146460378
And in the refinery too
Page 10
>>146453984
Not much resistance at all. Some of the lads need more raid experience though. We lost too many pteras for no good reason. Didn't waste any explosives luckily though.
>>146463428
So what ? we did what we could. You need to give us some tips here and now.
>>146463428
Don't worry, there's a few experienced fliers among all the fishfolk.
>>146463428
Considering what they lost compared to us it wasn't bad at all
I'm just surprised they gave up so easily and just left us alone in their base
>>146465337
>>146465581
Nah I'm not chastizing any of you. We did really well considering we cleared out the base. It was just a really fucking difficult base to kill because of their turret towers being separate from their main generator. What I mean is that Ark has a lot of bullshit like lag and getting pinned under dinos for no god damn reason and thats' only something you start to take into account after you lose a couple of dinos to that bullshit.
Maybe next tribe we hit will actually fight back
Everyone just runs every time we hit them
>>146466292
>Find out the only guy who was online was a newish player
Poor guy
>>146466554
What bad luck the guys we hit have.
It's not like we wait for them to be mostly offline
Hell if it wasn't for the server crashing their leader would have been on
>>146466618
The leader actually said he wasn't all that upset about us wiping them out because he had been growing addicted to Ark and needed to stop playing.
>>146466838
>tfw I know that feel
>After wiping out their tribe, the leader of White Wolves wants to join our tribe because he was never close to any of his tribe members and he likes how active we are
My brain is full of fuck
>>146467931
I'd be down for that
That should be a thing we do
Raid bases, steal their resources AND their members. Making them work for us
>>146467931

>>146468551
>bbk joins

>>146468729
He seems a chill guy.
Maybe make him live in the refinery until he proves himself
I don't say he'll be the only member of at a time anyway. Don't we like have someone on at all times
>>146468829
I dont think you know how this game works
It takes 2 secs to press j and jump off the map. Do you expect the dumbasses in our tribe to notice?
Bumb
>>146468875
anyone in the tribe can do this.
>>146472389
Yeah, in fact I'm doing it right now:^)
All our tames are dead now, thanks assholes
>>146475617
rip
>>146463428
>>146465396
>>146465581
>>146465806
Let's not forget that not only were tames lost but many people with supposed "raid experience" themselves died and lost a load of equipment while many of the "inexperienced" lads never died or only died once... just saying you shouldn't just point fingers like that. But yeah, lag was a huuuuuge problem in this raid for a lot of people. I think rather, the "offline"ness of the raid actually made people lower their guard and make simple/stupid mistakes that they normally wouldn't have made.
>>146476312
Hey, I killed like 20 dinos.
And I didn't expect them to all go aggressive while we were in the center...
In the end though I found the raid fun.
Getting stuck in the base and fighting our way out and shit.
And what gear did we lose? Like 5 sets of flak armor and a few guns. A metal run or two and we get that all back
considering buying this game
is it friendly for not so good PCs? and do I lose much by not playing online, or is online basically mandatory for having fun?
>>146476771
pretty defensive there m80.
>>146478006
Hu? I was saying the raid was fun, but okay
>>146476771
>>146478636
>>146478006
I think that guy was just saying that we shouldn't get caught up in what we lost or point fingers at specific people's mistakes or performances because basically every single lad made a careless mistake or two during that raid. It was a learning experience for everyone, not just the new lads.
But yeah it was crazy fun
>>146478730
No! Video games are serious business and if you don't do it perfect then don't bother!

>want to play ark again
>realize it takes ages to find a good server
Hate that shit.
Official rates are too low for me now, they were fine back then but I just can't be assed to stay in a place for so many hours anymore.
On the other hand I don't want anything crazy either, even just x2 or x3 rates would be fine for me.
Then I hate the Chinese, I hate Russians, I hate huge tribes controlling everything, I hate server admins abusing their power, I hate bullshit rules I have to play by.
I just can't be pleased
>>146480032
What's the bridges thing? Never heard of that till now
>>146480231
I haven't either and I'm usually on top of this shit. Probably something they came up with recently. My best guess would be a rope bridge that you create the end points of and then hook them together.
How is this for playing alone? Bearable? Should I waste 15€? (Have 20 in total)
>>146480231
>>146480357
Judging from the picture in the redwood biome this seems likely
>>146480357
That would be really cool
Made me think they need to make zip line grappling hooks
Work the same as the current grappling hook but you shoot twice to connect a line. Then you can hold it and slide down
>>146480456
It's absolutely made with multiplayer in mind
>>146480456
It can be fun alone trying to survive and exploring.
>>146480456
SP is fine but you'll want to up the rates for things like XP, taming, and harvesting as the default rates were set with multi-player in mind.
The full experience is definitely done on a server, but there are plenty out there. I'm sure you'll find a good one if you look.
>>146481230
Finding a good server is the hardest part of the game
>>146481230
Well, I'd be playing on the server my friends are on. But they're kinda casual so I don't expect much playing together. Or at least I expect to be playing more then they do.
How does this game still have such ass performance?
Unreal.
>>146482570
Clever girl.
What should I skill? Is there something like a beginners guide?
Welp, got sick during vacation and my brothers decided that i should go home to rest. Looks like i can play with you guys earlier but i'm not logging on today because i'm still puking and feeling really shitty

>>146496192
I was not there for the original jump. Glad I made it on this one.
You guys are memers.
Boatman here. We're thinking its very possible that CIA launches a surprise attack against us this weekend. Stay vigilant, make sure all of our dinos are always in a secure location and our base is prepped for heavy defense at all times.
If you need a job, we need more turrets.
dead
>>146497354
I intend on breeding a lot this weekend. During the downtime of watching babies eat, I'm gonna start defending our aviary. Which btw is fully operational now and can fit burds of many sizes. It's mostly undefended now though so store burds at your own risk.
Pic related, I'm making it similar to the one on the left, but with some nice looking balconies for comfy and style.
>>146498709
im shitting out pteradons right now, idk what you're plannign to breed but i can help.
Right now I'm trying to merge our highest weight and stam pteradon lines.
Getting tons of females need more males now honestly for raiding
Anyone who wants a pteradon egg to imprint needs to let say something in game and ill get you one
>>146499040
Also when someone gets on I need help doing something with the gigas.
>>146498905
Mainly I want a good stock of my own dinos so no one cares if I get one killed, but I'm gonna be doing a few of every flyer. At least 1 quetz, and maybe a Rex/spino.
Gina be doing a giga on our other server too. From a 120s egg.

WHY CANT THIS GAME JUST FUNCTION CORRECTLY
>>146506432
Oh what server is it? I tried checking the steam group but it seems pretty dead
>>146508371
The play with arkg in op
>>146508425
Oh sorry I missed it; thanks anon.
>>146508371
Yeah, but don't go into global screamming "Wheres the 4chan tribe guys!"
We can set up to get you in
>>146503216
A reminder this was my first character. Over a year old. But I still bring my movement to 130. That extra speed has saved me in ground based fights.
I wish I recorded this tribe fighting us where our quetz died and I had to run half way across the map without pants while they kept trying to hunt me with guns and barrel rolling pteras. Not only did they fail to kill me or pick me up, but I was followed the whole way and still made it home alive.
These days I keep balanced out stats and I'll have people r8 my main character later. I should give some credit to the guy who made our recipe as well. Kept me healed Everytime I lost them.
>>146505519
The water was an accident. I don't usually level food or water at all.
Trigger warning
I don't level O2
>>146508809
Thanks anon; Ill try seeing what I can do once I get things sorted out
Guys bump the thread, I'm running out of screenshots
>>146511079
do you guys have issues with animals clipping through the floor in those pillar bases?
>>146511427
Occasionally, but the benefits of keeping things elevated far outweigh the cons. It's generally only a problem for babies because our main breeding area is in there. Nothing's ever died from it though. Just a bit annoying.
Pro tip of the day, if you breed in a building like this, never put the eggs on top of the ACs. They're guaranteed to fall out when they hatch if you do.
So much dinosaur fucking going on

NEW BREEDING MECHANICS COMING OUT FUCK YEAH.
But yeah, breeders, you should go on metal/cp runs when youre waiting on imprints if you have the time. Doesn't even need to be a full run, every little bit helps.

Other tribes WISH their dead hours looked like this
need bbk too. he farms like an autist for 16 hours apparently
>>146519456
Too much of a liability. I'd be willing to ally with him but not absorb him.
>>146519116
Most tribes have no one one for 8+hours. We have 3 people on, and it's normie day so everyone is probably out having fun with friends and shit. We're fine.
>>146519708
That was taken during the raid?If he joins us, he´ll give us all of his turrets.I want 500 turrets.
>>146519708
Use the tribe ranking system and make it so he only uses rank one dinos, so he can't murder everything important. It'll require someone adding ranks to dinos and making sure trusted members are high enough rank to use everything.
You can also set a few dinos so high only admins can use them. Keeping the breeding stock safe this way is smart.
>>146521129
>being such a dick to him
I rather not invite him than be this untrustworthy
>>146521279
>>146521129
It´s still up in the air, he doesn´t even know if he wants to join yet.
All of our fucking pteradons are green/brownish.
They are so inbred they are bound to be retarded.
>>146522141
Phase 3 probably wont take into account for the inbreeding done before its implemented and all the already bred dinos will be the start of the tree for the new breeding
>>146522141
Just like the breeder

Its another to whine and bitch incessantly and then cowering from any further contact.
>>146533443
I didn't mean to sound like I was talking about your tribe at all. Just continuing the trend of talking about dumbass people on PvP servers. I can't count the number of times on 355 I saw some retard running around like a mad-dog and complaining when he gets put down like one that goes "Hurr, you guys are anti-PvP"

Tear it down, lad. Try again. It's an embarrassment to Oceania.
Are the trailers and screenshots on the Steam store page all 100% bullshots?
I was wondering if I should get this game in the sale, but I've never seen any gameplayvideos / screenshots of players that look remotely like that stuff on the Steam store page.
Is it possible to make the game actually look like that?
>>146548320
If you have a 980ti or 1080 yes

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little landlubber? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Oceania Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Fall Babylon, and I have over 300 confirmed boats. I am trained in underwater warfare and I have the most oxygen in all Oceania. You are nothing to me but just another chink. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this server, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over global? Think again, Pashitter. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of ichthy's across the seas and your shitshack is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, blaggard. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your base. You're fucking dead, swine. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my flippers. Not only am I extensively trained in flipper combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Oceanian Royal Navy and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the map, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "dank" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn birdfag. I will shit rafts all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, alpha triber.

well, well, well, what have we here another fucking alpha tribe (most likely landlubber) shitting up the server with their landlubbing faggotry. you picked the wrong night to swim around, shore shitters. i've just texted my boat (we're friends irl) about your base, so he'll be here shortly to deal with the matter, and most likely hand out some sorely needed wipes. i'm also going to wipe out the rest of the tribes on the server (for safe measure), as well as alert my other boats. and just in case you wanna try and pull a fast one, i'm spike walling the entire boat for additional rape and e-mailing a mosasaur about the matter personally. i'm tired of you fucking mainland manchildren using whatever loloxygentank faggot shit you want on this fucking map. it's time for you dry-land dickheads to get a reality check, because this shit won't fly for much longer. prepare your base, you 500 member alpha tribe. your days are fucking numbered
>>146551224
There's a dung beetle in the refinery that currently isn't being used if I'm not wrong. If it is needed it is in the main structure.
>>146551224

Dats ignant fool. People are living in the refinery while they learn the ropes and it was moved up there to help them out/teach them/ reinforce the refinery

So I bought the game today, decided to hop in on the vg server because you guys are nicer than the general public servers etc
When I leave the server and return (yeah i made a small hut with a bed) does that mean the next time I enter the server I can resume my things?
This general is back? Since when?
>>146559930
North like always
>>146560669
Yes. Whether you or your stuff has survived since you last logged out is another issue entirely.
I finished building an apartment block. There are three rooms left, first come first serve. Just leave your name on the sign outside your door to claim your apartment.
So I play on a small private server and we're trying to enable flying in caves, we added -ForceAllowCaveFlyers to the gameusersettings but it still kicks us off.
Is there anyone in the general who has managed to enable them on their own server?
>>146562525
So which water mount do I use for combat besides a mosa?
Are high level dunks decent if I dump points in speed and stam?
> you will never cuddle a live argent
Jak on suicide watch
>>146564104
Dunks are so slow you need like 200% speed to make them decent, just use Megas or Plesis if you don't have mosas
>>146560669
If someone found your shit and wanted it, then it's gone. If not then its still there
pls no
>>146548779
Sorry for the delay, was asleep. I'mMuldoon. I've never actually joined you guys, but i've been on for ages, ever since I stated on 355 as Charon, only member of the Ferrymen tribe. My tribe is just me and a few IRL friends, and I find it more appealing to be in a small tribe with them than join a larger one. If they stopped playing I would probably join up though.
>>146569269

Yes. If you enjoy sand box survival games and like dinosaurs.

never mind, this game looks like a shitty buggy mess

I've had it for awhile, it's still being updated and though buggy it's better with each update.
I play on console though so I largely play solo.

I hope my shed doesn't get raided.
Have a couple of questions.
What is a good place to build a base on the original map as far as convenience of resources etc. I've just been using the one I built near where I started in the north-east corner. I'm assuming I maybe want somewhere closer to some metal?
I'm also wondering how to progress as far as getting dinos. What to get next and how?
Right now I have:
2 Trikes
2 Pteranadons
1 Raptor
2 Parasaurs
2 Turtles
and shitloads of dildos.
>>146581915
>shitloads of dildos
Well shit, why leave?

I used to have this nice spot next to one of the mesas near the North end of the river right before it becomes swampy hellscape. it's right down hill of a metal mountain and in a pretty central location all around
So do sleep raids happen a lot in the arkg server?
>>146583391
yes
>>146583716
Lel well fuck, guess i shoulve gotten my hands on brick walls
>>146582917
Sounds like a good spot, gonna go check out the area.
Any advice on what sort of combat dino I should try for next?
I want some ankylos and scropion for utility.
>>146583391
Probably the worst part of the game. Playing on single player right now to fuck around. Public servers suck and didn't want to bother to find a good private.
o shiiiit
Should I join the Arkg server? I just bought it and have learned the basic shit.
W-will I get bullied?

I live my autism rocks. Pic related.
Right between a mountain for metal and a swamp for... Things
>tfw you might wake up tomorrow morning in someones cage handcuffed and stripped off clothing
I mean this game is pretty rude tbqh
>>146592050
Once that happens is there any way to get out or kill yourself? It would seem pretty lame to have to sit there for ages
>>146593348
keep jumping and hitting air to use your stamina to starve to death
>>146593487
Oh thanks anon I'll keep that in mind if I ever get captured
is the server down?
So I was thinking of picking this up because of the Steam sale (which I imagine a lot of people are). If I have enough autism for and enjoy Minecraft but wish it was more of a game and not a building tool, am I gonna like this?
I looked up the number of players and was honestly surprised, I would have expected it to be one of those games that dropped off after a while but the population is huge.

If you like sand boxes and dinosaurs you might like it.
Will people fuck solo players with small stone houses on the vg server? Or can I meme in relative peace while I get set up?
>>146597056
Seems like most tribes won't fuck with a solo guy.
>>146597056
As long as you don't piss a big tribe off I'm sure no one will bother you.
Someone might fuck with you like knock you out or snipe you for fun. But don't say anyone will wipe you
>>146596451
It's pretty fun brah. One of the few early access games that delivers and is continuing to get better.

How do you find tribes to play with? It's hard to just get people on servers to invite me to their tribes.
>>146600587
It's absolutely essential.
So I'm kinda confused. Are you all in one tribe on that server, or are you all split up? Should I go somewhere specific when I first get on or should I fuck off and do my own thing?
>>146593348
I usually try to keep one of these on me at all times just in case it looks like I might be captured by someone. They usually don't notice until it's killed me.
