Ark: Survival Evolved

[Seilahyn]

I logged in after the game eventually updated, filled my troughs, then they took the server down for maintenance which was when I switched to single player.

I'm feeling fine, but I can't sit in my chair for too long before I get a bit uncomfortable and need to get up and move around.

I had a Beaver out for grabs, but I can't find it. Did one of you take it? It was a black female with a creamy white stripe. Would like to give that to Ash and her husband, would help greatly with building.

Oh, I can also pass Morningstar the Doed if Nef was okay with that. I have an 80+ Argy I can also give them, but don't have much else predator wise. I have the one high level raptor but it's still claimed to Aleu, so I can't change ownership, but it would be a nice guard dog if needed. I just need to throw a saddle on it again.

[Nefretiti]

I'm keeping Morning but I have another doed I'll be giving Ash and her husband along with ankys and possibly some surprise dinos.

ARK! The game where EVERYTHING kills you for sport!

Thanks for all the advice! You guys are the best! <3 I can't wait to get home and try these suggestions! I swear as soon as I figure all this out, I'm going to search for a raptor and a wolf. Goals!

Raptor and wolf you says? *ponders*

I had a Beaver out for grabs, but I can't find it. Did one of you take it?

That would be me. I took her because my girl is low level and almost got killed. I nabbed her within a day or two of her becoming available because I couldn't have bared losing he beaver I'd been gifted. I can bring her back.

[Nefretiti]

I grabbed two pteras that were just sitting there, they are on my platform, i think they're grey and orange or something similar in color, they're currently owned by felara so please give them to Ash and her husband, I only grabbed them since they were going to be let loose.
I want to keep the red neutered one.

[Seilahyn]

No worries, zed. I was just wondering where it went to and figured one of you grabbed it. Can always tame some new ones for them. We have so many dinos now we should have no problem churning out kibble to tame higher level things or tame low level things faster for a bigger bonus to their level.

Trying to login now. Not sure how long I'll be on. Not sure what it is with this chair but it is not nearly as easy to sit in it as it is the couch. Seems like it puts more pressure on my incisions/belly.

Little annoyed about the structure changes. I had my shelves placed nicely, now they increased the size of them and they're overlapping making targeting one a little different. It's not impossible, but bothersome. I might demolish them all and replace them because of this.


Edit:
Log in.. server immediately goes down for 15 min maintenance. Ugh, I hate updates. We'll be plagued with constant minor updates multiple times a day for a week.

[zedxrgal]

Seila - I feel for you hun. I really do. I had close to the same procedure (except mine was my right side). Warning! Personal written graphicness ahead. I had my right ovary, fallopian tube and part of the top & lower right of my uterus removed. They removed a benign pre-cancerous tumor & cyst that was engulfing the ovary. Cyst was infected. There was an infected protruding fibroid at the top if my uterus just by where the tube connected and a infected protruding fibroid on the side wall. This happened February 10th and I STILL am not 100%. Like you I all but lived on my cushy couch. Sleeping was near impossible the first two weeks. Went through a mini menopause too after which sucked ass. But. Better that then risk cancer. But I digress.
I'll happily help tame anything anyone needs! Would be awesome for us all to have a taming party. Even better if it's during an evolution event.

I noticed last night my structures didn't look right and my cabinets were off. Guess now I know why.

Had some sleepless in seatle .. errr copenhagen going on last night so I went in and looked for the new dinos.. Did not find any of them in alpha version but i did tame some dinos

Alpha Sleeposaurus. Nappy (Male) And Snooze (Female) Both natural colors.










Alpha .. yeah i forgot its name.. I released it into the wild again after I realized I could not ride it.. then its useless to me..





Alpha Kapro. Della (Female, natural colors) & Delle (Male, dyed)






Alpha Terrorbirds. Idk (Male) & Meh (Female) Both natural colors. As you can tell by the names these are NOT my favorite dino... but I promised myself to tame new dinos this round..






Might go in and try to find alpha version of the new dinos today

[Ana]

No new alpha dinos.. I dont think the addons im running have added the new dinos in as alpha´s yet.. i did however caught a glimp of the dodo rex.. I cant handle that one yet so I hurried away. Thankfully my wolf is faster




Took revenge by taking out its baby brother a primal dodo




I love exploring. This game is so pretty!




One of our wolves died but I tamed a new one and I dyed it blue and purple




Also tamed two normal Gigantosarus, Giga (female) and Gecko (Male). Also got one Alpha Giga which for some reason does not have a gender..it does not have a name yet.. but tempted to just name it It

[zedxrgal]

Goodness gracious Ms Tarn!!! I love it!!!! So many pretties. The sleeposauruses are so adorable. DODOREX! I wish I could get one. And *shudders* ........... I cringe at normal Gigas let alone an alpha.

There is so much this patch I want to tame but mainly hyenas. I watched some videos on taming them. Super hard. If they get near the pack leading taming effectiveness is almost completely lost. You don't pet immediately when timer is up effectiveness drops dramatically. The easiest way I saw was having multiple pens. The alpha alone in one, close but not to close it can adjust the pack and each member in their own pen. Several times when I saw when one gets tamed with the other pack members in the same pen it freaks them out and they either attack or try to scatter. Which means any taming bar you had is gone. So yeah.

[Seilahyn]

I played with one last night. It's nearly impossible to split them up. I ended up giving in and killing the pack leader and two others to get one by itself. It was in a really safe area, so I hopped off and tried taming. Crouching, snuck up, pet, follow crouched trying to avoid being seen. Not happening. It either turned on a dime, saw me, and got spooked or I couldn't keep up with it and it dropped too fast before I could pet it again.

Ghillie is needed, thankfully they fixed it and we can craft it. No idea how to get one in a trap without picking it up. Chasing one and hoping it goes in... will be fun. Then the trap needs to be built on spot. I saw a trap design you can crouch under it and pet through the floor. Still need Ghillie on.

Edit:
I went and gathered a bunch of Feathers to help get Ghillie sets made for people. I'll try to be on at a reasonable time tomorrow. I have most of them in my new storehouse but I haven't pin coded things yet.

[Nefretiti]

I don't have a problem I swear!




*Hides*

[Seilahyn]

How'd you manage the Yu? Was he alone? Did you have help?

I haven't had much urge to do anything other than feed my dinos when I get on. Not sure why. I need to work on my stables at my new house so I can move dinos over.

[Nefretiti]

He was alone , he had fallen off the iceshelf to a reasonably safe area. people from Valorian was kind enough to give me a set of fur armor which is more or less mandatory for the snow biome.

[Ana]

Still no Alpha fluffy t-rex.. but I managed to tame a normal one. This one was lvl 200 in the wild






Size comparison. Anna stands next to them. Anna is always as small as I can make her in height




Ohh and close up on the beaver i tamed. In annuarki mod there is a type of dinos called badass, they come in 4 versions, Ice, Fire, Mountain and Poison. This is a poison baddass casto. Named Hugtand which roughly translate to Fang




aand just noticed something neat, Anna has white hair.. but when you dive in water it actually turns greyish until its dry again

Dry



Wet

[Nefretiti]

My newly rebuilt house on Gallifrey



Ok I might have a problem ..

[zedxrgal]

Nothing like only having​ enough time to feed everyone, get the gifted spino then log out. Prim+ 14 took me 15 minutes to get on today. Then I kept having frame rate drops like really bad.
Funny because I don't have that problem on single player.
Not to mention a certain someone got stuck in my compound the had the nerve to bitch about it.

[Seilahyn]

Someone got stuck in your base and bitched at you for it? Lol... Was it one of the 2 new guys right below my cliff on the bay side, building where I wanted to build my greenhouse?

I found some guy named Rock(s)? By my house at our old base. Not sure how he got inside the second gate. First gates you can swim around, second... yeah.

Hope everyone I left on the hill are ok. Left my wolves to guard them. I'll hop on in a bit to feed everyone. Kinda sleepy, so might not be on.

[zedxrgal]

It was Tazbor. He pissed and moaned about being in there then complained he was stuck. The East 1 and South 3 survivor spawns are there but they're not IN the cove.
So I don't know how he got in there. I honestly don't care. He can rot in there or off himself and respawn somewhere else.

The other thing is a person asking in global about PvP. Person had to be told several times it was pve. Then he asked if he could drown other players while they slept. I immediately said "Please do not intentionally kill other players. I logged very shortly after. Just totally ruined my experience

[Seilahyn]

I can see someone getting into Nef's area, but yours? He must have been trying to. The cliff above your place is blocked off. Also... you can swing out of your area pretty easily. I ran through earlier, walked around through the water, then ran up the hill to my house. *shrug*

There was someone yesterday who didn't understand the server was pve either. He asked "are their alphas?" Which I thought he meant dinos, but seems that's what people call high end tribes. I then said in alliance, "isn't pve literally in the server name?" And we had a little laugh about how dopic people are.

Glad I log inside my house... even if the game decides I don't sometimes.

[Ana]

SPOILER ALERT I went into my first cave today. This is the lower south cave. Entrance at 80.3 , 53,3. Highest mob I encountered in there was lvl 97 and Anna is lvl 840 and my wolf is lvl 1034 so it was a walk in the park for me. I got NO idea what lvl it is on a server with no added in extra lvls. I also run a mod with extra high lvls for wild animals

The wolf is small enough to ride around in the entire cave. LOTS of crystal and metal in the cave, and also some obsidian. Mobs in there was dungbeetles, scropids, titanboas, spiders, Arthropluera (centripede) and Megalosaurus. There should also be Megalania (komodo dragons) but i did not see any). I need to come back as i forgot the loot in the water so need my diving gear and then go again. Map can be found here : http://ark.gamepedia.com/File:Lower_South_Cave_Map.png


So screenshot gallore from my expedition :
