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

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

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

There needs to be people new to the game on the server.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

i said im new to the general, nice reading comprehension

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

For someone who has admitted to not having a lick of proof you seem pretty self-assured of your unprovable events.

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

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?

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.

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 with a wild only trait

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

>>
>>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.

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

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.

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.

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

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)

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".

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.

>>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.

The best raiders already do that. Of course, you need a pretty generic name or to just not speak in global at all if you're trying not to be found out.

Then again, it's still not going to stop the server police from killing PvP servers.

Bullet sponges. 355 taught me the value of turtles. They're the fastest high-health thing you can tame and transport easily. Doed's are probably better but they take too damn long to tame and all-health doeds are a waste anyways.

It doesn't give "so much exp" in comparison to other dinos. It mostly feels that way because you can kill massive amounts of them in a short span of time thanks to modifiers against them.

Makes sense. To be honest I'm fine with the current situation of the beacons' tier not being extra high and related to your level instead, having to hunt for red ones for a while to get some good loot. What's stupid is that they've still dropped the same things despite the tons of stuff that's been added in the last few months
Where's slopes BP or Journeyman fur or new saddles?

It's probably patching to the latest version finally. Expect at least a 15 minute rollback; this happened to me 2 days ago, I suddenly got kicked a few minutes after landing at my base logged in 500 feet in the air and fell to my death. Luckily I found the body, but it's put the fear in me to never stray far from my base when we're behind a version. I wish there was a simple announcement system or at least someone says something in chat about it slightly beforehand so everyone can get to safety and log off.

Guys I had the best idea ever since the need to move away my old scorpions arose
I'll build a mini construction for them (since they're like 10 and I only need one) shaped like a scorpion with the tiny legs and maybe the crabs
I'll post pics when I've built it
>>
The worst torture in ARK would be dropping someone into a pit of scorpions. They would be on passive too and the player would constantly get stuck on the legs.
>>
>>123203776
Exactly why I'm moving them, honestly. Half of the times the only solution I can find is ride them, get away, try to move them in a way the legs aren't in my way, then dismount only to find that the legs STILL are in my way

>>
>>123207254
I think I can do that. You know where their base is?
>>
>>123207192
it was lvl 12 in the wild and in the 50s when they killed it pretty sure they just sniped it forever since it way killed by a player+++
>>
>>123207554
Ah ok, I'm coming back to Ark over Christmas purely because of the Mosa and found the idea of some pleb killing it horrifying.
I'm a massive Hydro-phile, on previous servers my Shark tames tended to be level 80-100 base so I'll probably do the same with my Mosas.

Are High level ones difficult to find? Or are they like Plesios (or how Plesios used be anyway) and generally base 60, 75 and 90.
>>
>>123207507

Pretty sure that devs planned all deep sea dinos to behave like that.
>>
>>123211360
Except the dossier explicitly mentions it needing oxygen and needing to go back to the surface m8
When people found out it behaved like the plesio devs said they'd fix it
>>
>>123212694
>Believing the dossier

Devs say a lot of things in the dossier that never actually applies. They said plesiosaurs would leave humans alone, for one thing.
>>
>>123212694
There's always discrepancies from the dossier and the actuality of the creature in the game. Don't think otherwise.

Bezelbufo says that it's got poisonous extretions on both it's tongue and skin, except in game it only applies torpor damage when you attack stuff, not when you rub up against them.
Turtles supposedly have a "swift swim rate" but it's average at best compared to the actual aquatic creatures or even compared to a sarco.
Doedicurus according to the dossier just immediately balls up when facing a large predator, however the truth is they only ball up when they've taken a considerable amount of damage.
Quetzals are supposed to "nest near the absolute highest peaks", but the truth is they are always on the move and never even stop at any of the mountains.

The list goes on and on, I don't even see why people sperg out at dinos not being exactly as the dossier says they are.
>>
>>123214175
The Mosa is a little odd though because the dossier suggests it was designed to be a war dino of some sort which would have to be kept near the surface when in fact it is just all round the best sea mount in existance
>>
rip server
>>
Who has Ball Gag attacked so far?
>>
>>123220208
Just Chungor. But Chungor already blew up the base they had. They're still playing so they're probably moving bases.
>>
>>123206084
It only seems high til you get past level 65 or so, then it slows down a lot. I feel bad for people doing that grind on official, especially when some gear requires level 90. Holy shit man. I am level 76 or something and it seems like it takes a LOT of XP to level now.

>>
>>123238352
It's based on the base stats, before leveling. So you needed as close to base 180s as you can plus stat distribution favoring 1 or 2 stats. So if you take one with a lot of points in health and attack, and breed it with one that has a lot in stam, you'll usually get one that is very high level.
>>
>>123239039
I am well aware of that, but base level has nothing to do with the stat investment. We simply can't find rexes with higher stats than the ones we currently have. I mean, I could've tamed the 2600 hp 135% damage 120rex with 12k food to breed in 6 extra levels, or that rex with 650 oxy I knocked out about 3 months ago, but noone wants those.

According to Papyrus Chester-Beatty I, Set is depicted as trying to prove his dominance by seducing Horus and then having intercourse with him. However, Horus places his hand between his thighs and catches Set's semen, then subsequently throws it in the river, so that he may not be said to have been inseminated by Set. With the help of His mother, Isis, Horus placed His own semen upon lettuce growing in a garden; lettuce that Seth was to eat. After Set had eaten the lettuce, they went to the gods to try to settle the argument over the rule of Egypt. The gods first listened to Set's claim of dominance over Horus, and call his semen forth, but it answered from the river, invalidating his claim. Then, the gods listened to Horus' claim of having dominated Set, and call his semen forth, and it answered from inside Set.

>>123261571
The problem is uneducated Asians actually think Rhino horns are a miracle medicine, Ark perpetuating the myth is a bad idea. The people playing Ark aren't going to go out and slaughter Rhinos. But hey, maybe someday they'll be in trouble and think to themselves: "Maybe I should buy some Rhino horn." The dossier should specifically mention how Rhino horns don't have special powers, but some stupid survivors think they do and won't stop hunting them. However, Rhino horns are a great source of keratin so they should have greatly boosted keratin drops.

I'm surprised they haven't added Ivory to Mammoths, I'm sure they could come up with some interesting objects to craft with it. Unlike Rhino horn which is actually worthless for its intended purpose, Ivory is a useful substance. They used to make tool handles with it and such. Imagine if we could make those and attach them to tools to add durability. Could be used to make a war horn or something too.

Actually its a very small number of chinese who actually by the horn for Medicinal purposes.
There is some African country where the 1% buy Rhino Horns as trophies and wear them around their necks as symbols of wealth.

I should've wrote down that I'm experiencing all that and I've had 40 points in fortitude since a couple of days after the snow biome introduction.

>>123288172
>>123288405
Nah, fort is somehow useful. You're going to feel that increased torpor resistence and especially the extreme cold/heat one. Although it's surely not a priority if you're near water and you can just take a dive anytime to fix the thirst that heatwaves give you.

Aside from melee and HP that's mandatory, don't underestimate movement speed. On one hand you'll be faster on ground which is useful, but especially you'll fare better in water battles. Sarcos are super fast but have a wide-ass turn radius because of their tail, so if you're attacking a group of sharks movespeed is useful or you'll get hit a lot more.
>>
>>123334146
This guy >>123357678
And stamina is not something I'd invest points in because sarcos will recover it when swimming and you should rarely use them out of the water.
Anon above hit the nail on the head, it will also let you escape tamed sharks if you're being chased.

Is there any actual reason to use larger crop plots for crops that don't need them? If I put berries in a large plot will the yield be better than a small one?
>>
>>123363184
Terror Bird isn't with this update anon. They're just bringing back D-rex in tameable form. Though with how powerful it was I'm betting this is either a watered down nerfed version or one that you can ride for a short time like the dragon in SOTF.
>>
>>123363441
It seems they don't, sadly. Never tried it but everyone I asked replied the yield is the same, so it's purely aesthetics

>>123363810
>no Terror burd
Shit.
That said, a dodorex that gets a post-tame nerf like the Giganoto (or, better, some more) wouldn't be so bad. The only problem is that the dodorex was lv1 in the Halloween event, if you can level it post-tame you can make it a beast nonetheless
>>
>>123357879
Thanks. I find that wiki has pretty bad advice for leveling your dinos.

Oh well, that's a shame. Guess the large plots are solely for turret plants. I almost regret spending those engram points. I should have waited for a blueprint.

Fucking hell. I woke up fully expecting the oviraptor to be released as it had already been pushed back a dozen times. Now I see that instead of the oviraptor they released the dodorex as tameable. It's like they hate their player base.
>>
I'm thinking of buying this game. How badly will I get my shit pushed in while learning to play it?
>>
Am I right in saying if I shoot say a sarco with 10 tranq arrows, I will get the full torpor effect of those arrows after 50 seconds without needing to wait 5 seconds between each shot?
because mother of fuck I dont want to be counting to 5 for half an hour while I tranq a bronto.
>>
>>123383150
There's like a bleed effect from tranq arrows where you get the initial shot and the rest goes up over 4-5 seconds. You cancel that amount by shooting again.

Doesn't really matter too much but it's most arrow efficient to time it.
>>
>>123383409
"A second arrow hitting the target will not override the torpor-over-time effect of the first arrow, the effects of multiple arrows will instead stack. That means it's not necessary to wait in between shots to gain the maximum torpor. On the other hand, the torpor increase takes 5 seconds. So if the creature is near unconsciousness, it's better to wait after each shot as to not harm the creature unnecessarily."

I pulled this from the wiki, but I know the wiki doesnt always give good advice and I know when I last played torpor over time was cancelled by shooting a new arrow, so I guess I'll have to look into it and see is it mentioned in any patch notes or try and find some citation on it.

I could probably test it by shooting a dino with 1 arrow and checking the final torpor, then shooting 2 and seeing is it ~double the amount.
>>
>>123383693
Well I don't know then. If only the wiki were more trustworthy and not be retarded players filling stuff in because they can.
>>
Reminder that turkey`s are not for eating and dodorex is for being cuddled
>>
>>123383940
If you're in game could you test it for me? It would further Ark science a great deal.
>>
>>123383041
Com to nfa PvP. We're nice. Mostly...
>>
>>123384416

>>
>>123383041
Tbh, if you join a private server you might never encounter another human (if you build your shack in the wilderness)
Just watch out for packs of raptors and tame some dilos to watch your ass. It's a learning curve but it shouldnt take too long.

Also some of the NFA tribes might take you in but I cant say for sure
>>
>>123384065
Test #1:
Spam five arrows and then wait until 30 seconds or torpor stops

It reached 420 torpor at 27-28 seconds and stopped

Test #2:
Shoot five arrows in five second intervals wait until 30 seconds

It reached 594 torpor at 30 seconds and went beyond for another several seconds

Used a crossbow

This proves it's better to wait five seconds in between, hopefully I didn't fuck up and do something like shoot a sixth arrow but it seemed fine
>>
>>123384416
Is there any single dominant tribe on Nfa PvP? (or 2 dominant tribes)
Or is it a pretty broad server with a handful of small tribes?
>>
>>123385236
Or shoot an arrow into the creatures head (which would yield 2.5 times torpor) but thank you, I'll do some testing myself later for repeatability and post results, I probably wont be on Ark until Friday at this stage because Im stuck in the middle of buttfuck nowhere for Work all week
>>
>>123385236
One criticism
30/5=6 so if you were firing at exactly 5 seconds you would have fired 6 arrows which probably explains the disparity, but if you fired only 5 arrows in 30 seconds then your conclusion holds
>>
>>123385568
I shot at 5 seconds, 10, 15, 20, 25 with a timer up

30 seconds is mostly meaningless but I wanted to see how they would compare at a time similar to when they should be stopping
>>
>>123385771
ah ok, well it makes sense to use the same time interval, it just depends on wether you fired at 0 or not.

Because firing 6 arrows (at 0 or 30) would obviously make the results useless.
Sorry to poke holes but this is how science works, got to weed out any errors, Ill get a raptor or something and do a few tests, see if they are consistent, Im curious now to know because if my tests agree with yours I'll probably go add a note to the wiki
>>
>>123385568
>>123385771
on second thought I must have shot a sixth arrow because i began the timer on a shot

im too fucking tired, stayed up til 3am last night and havent ate a whole lot

someone more autistic will have to do testing
>>
>>123385242
No, not at all. If shit ever REALLY hit the fan (like a Chinese invasion) all the former-Oceania tribes would probably band together though.
>>
>>123386145
Ill test at the weekend, but considering that it sounds like the torpor over time does stack and should produce somewhat similar results.
which is good to know because getting 3 guys on to spam hit a bronto with 30 arrows each and letting 2 of them fuck off home while 1 waits is a lot easier, can even set a timer for 3 minutes and munch xp while you wait, then fire a few more if it still isnt down
>>
>>123386279
>former oceania tribes
How many of ye are former aquafags? I'm assuming ye are the guys from server 355(?)
>>
>>123386424
I re-did the test.

Both methods had 420 torpor at around the same ~27 second mark. It must have no difference and the wiki is right.
>>
>>123386847
Good to know, thanks anon.

How hostile is the server as a whole?
>>
If it helps, I'm sure that the torpor over time with a scorpion doesn't stack and you need to wait before hitting again to be more efficient.
Tranq darts shot with a rifle don't need the wait.

I have a 660 and I have to use -nomansky and set everything to low except texture quality (medium) and view distance (high, because seeing farther away is good if you don't want to die).

In their testing to see if the oviraptor would pick up eggs they must have found out that dinos almost never lay eggs

Why the hell won't these morons just make every egg behave like dodo eggs? Oh wait, probably "muh grind"

>>123429798
Nah, If I had to bet it's some sort of balancing issue in regards to gathering eggs. The dossier mentions oviraptors as very tiny so as egg harvesters they'd run out of space real fast since eggs are pretty heavy.
>>
>>123429890
The egg laying system is correct for the dodos. It should work that way for all dinos. The difference being that the dodos have a higher rate than everything else because they are like chickens. I don't see why that is so hard to implement.

Stasis is a thing again even though they said it was removed a while back.

HP/Weight/Speed - If you want more battle quetzal go more levels into speed or if you just want it to transport stuff Focus on getting speed/weight I found that the sweetspot for a weight quetzal is around 2000 for a battle quetzal that is gona airdrop shit you might want around 1700 (enough to carry 2 rex)

Quetzals are no ptera but its base speed is faster than an argent and I think that investing points into speed pay`s back quite nicely

>>123458426

The whole idea is that Quetzals don`t grow in trees especially not the high leveled one`s if you ignore that fact and the resources it takes to tame one of course that quetzal is much more superior than an argent My biggest complain about quetzals is the knockback on dino`s you`re attacking

Does everyone play NFA? If so, how come?
>>
>>123472579
Well No Fun Allowed is typically the /v/ and /vg/ go-to name for guilds, servers, etc, so I iamgine if everyone is playing on them, it's because they're coming to this general regularly and want to play with a community they know.

We already tried that.

Official rates and aimbotters suck, senpai. Maybe I'd be up for attacking a high-rate server with a decent pop but then abusive admins would just shut you down,

i do agree vg on an official taking over an entire server would be better than nfa server
but theyre all pussies
arkg is the most casual g ive ever seen

they arent DEDICATED TO THE GRIND

theyre casual scum

Why the fuck would you be? Evidence over the months has shown that the people who grind the most are deadbeats with part-time jobs, NEETs, and people under the age of 16. There is no good reason to grind that hard in Ark other than to render yourself sterile, unemployable, and undate-able.
>>
Why aren't there any popular unofficial servers that try to be like official but dedicate themselves to making the server lag free? Every unofficial server is 2x or greater rate for shit. Where is the challenge?

>>123478421
i think exp rates should be 1.5- 2.5, and getting your first berry farmer should require less narcs, or narc plants should not take nearly as long to get started
i think engram points should be increased by like an extra 120, especially early
resource rates max of 2
taming should definitely not be as tedious as it is and should not take nearly as long


desu taming time is the biggest mechanical problem of the game
>>
>>123479285
Then I can agree with you there, to an extent. NFA still isn't as bad as some places I've seen around though, as far as rates are concerned.
>>
>>123479579
I played a 40x everything once.
dozens of behemoth gate fortresses lagging the server CONSTANTLY, and it was just a kill everyone on sight because no one cared.

The only argent I had on that server got killed by someone rolling a level 288 ptera at me mid air. 1 hit kill
>>
Okay so I did some reading on those negative engram points and its a bug that's been around forever. Try drinking some of that mind wipe tonic. I won't be able to get on until tomorrow to try and fix it. What I can do if it's not affecting everyone is if you aren't in a tribe make one and then create a new character. I'll use admin commands to add you back into the tribe.
>>
>>123481698
I can't even make a mindwipe tonic because I can't learn to make stimulants, and I'm already in a existing tribe

This is a case of balancing the game around the existence of large tribes. Large tribes with lots of people online, all crafting or harvesting stuff near each other are generating a lot of bonus experience that makes a big difference to leveling. I think that the bonus experience system needs to be changed. First off, double the base XP and harvest rate for the game, they're simply too low. As for the bonus XP, we should give it to SOLO players. Give solo players an additional 2x XP (so 4x from the current official rate), and speed up crop maturation, because farming is more important for a solo player than a tribe who can tame many dinosaurs for gathering. For tribes, take away the XP and crop bonuses and give them a bonus to tames and breeding. Depending on how many tribe members are present around the target tame, add up to a maximum of 10x tame rate. So if you are alone, it's the usual 1x, if you're with 3 tribe members, it would be 4x, and so on. Breeding should just get a flat 2x for tribes. This gives people an incentive to make tribes and act in groups without fucking over a solo player with lower levels and less resources.
>>
>>123486031
No, we had like three people online by the end because we were bored of nothing happening. The war we gave up on saw more life than we had for a long time, but everyone remembered why they quit as it dragged on.

Resource rates suck and fighting to save a bunch of ingrates from their inevitable end while they spit on you gets old fast.

Come back when you actually control a server and aren't just the bitch of the Chinese.

>>123486165
That's stupid. You need things that equally reward and penalize people regardless of tribe size, not things that incentivize certain tribe sizes.

The game's always going to reward larger tribes, because you have more people able to work together. A lot of people are always going to be able to do more work than one person. If we give too many benefits to solo players to make up for that, no one will bother to make tribes. Likewise, if you give too many benefits to tribes, the solo players will lose heart. You need to give tribes something, but you also need to give solo players something that can somewhat even the odds. This way, players have a choice about how they want to play the game, and won't be too hindered either way.
>>
>>123488941
Imo, they are two completely seperate playstyes and cannot both be catered for too much, in a Large tribe you're generally going to be in a large exposed base, using your farming man-hours to fortify the shit out of it, while solo players or even tribes of 2 people will be better off building a stone or metal cabin in the middle of nowhere and using stealth and farming to build up and maybe do some raiding.

I myself have built a "cabin in the woods" with 2 friends and we were able to keep an argentavis, sabre and a few other dinos there hidden until we had the material and gall to build a more exposed base.
Solo players have to play the survival game while large tribes, or small experienced ones, can play the geopolitical game.

I have an idea to try out. The devs stop lying about engine limitations and make a bigger god damn map so the solo players have a much better chance of being able to hide and all that and stop making the ttk and grind stupidly long.
>>
>>123488672
everything
>>
>>123489714
This is a quality fucking idea, but we will have to wait for more arks to come out I think.

On unofficial servers where fewer than 20 people are ever on at one time it isnt too difficult to hide out somewhere, and camo-ing your base isnt too hard, just keep it under foliage to hide from flyers and try and put it behind a rock or something to hide from raptors/sabres/wolves that might be out hide, chitin and meat farming
>>
>>123486165
i feel as if there needs to be changes, and unlike >>123486763
said there should be slight differences between solo, small, and other sized tribes, but you failed to grasp why exactly solo vs tribe is difficult
and your make believe numbers are rather horrendous
some of the concepts are alright

honestly though for 300 bucks i would send the devs an objectively better system for resources, taming, leveling, tribe/size balance
it wouldnt even take me 2 weeks
>>123488941
>>123489548
i would tackle the solo/small tribe adversities, but i think we should first make it easier for solo/smaller groups to find others, or established groups to take newcomers
playing alone shouldnt be forced on you because no one gave you a chance, socially inside or outside the game
>>
>>123490020
I posted on here the other day talking about my return to Ark and one of the NFA guys offered to take me in, unless you play on an official server I think the /vg/ community can find a tribe on NFA if they go looking.

Also there are find a tribe systems on the steam forums (I hope) to tackle this.
I think playing as a small tribe is a play-style choice, Its best to cater to both by establishing features which benefit both but are weighted one way than the other through their inherent mechanics, rather than some artificial modifier.

Just for example, if there was a dino gate made small enough to be built into a 3x3 cottage which raptors and sabres could move through it would hugely benefit both large and small tribes as they would be able to keep these dinos in very secure places, but would benefit solo/duo tribes more because as it stands they can only aquire the bare minimum protection for their dinos if they want to remain under the radar.
>>
Sooo... did the Iron islanders got f&cked ? Or the burd genocide was a success ?
>>
>>123488941
Yes it will reward large tribes, but you can set up punishments so they aren't drastically worse for small tribes. Taming upkeep is something that could stand to exist, but to do it by just upping food consumption will just hurt small tribes and be a minor problem for big tribes. Set some unilateral punishments.

>>123490020
Catch up mechanics are retarded. There is no reason x hours of someone in a big tribe should only be worth x/2 hours of someone in a small tribe, outside crybabying because you have to work hard too. Best case scenario with things like that is the big tribes split up, but still work together, which already happens on old servers with old tribes and long-standing "alliances."

I also have doubts your ideas are any good. You could post them but you're probably too afraid of criticism and have some dumb idea you'll get any money out of having them.
>>
>123490843
They haven`t been on today so most likely gave up on the server
>>
>>123490993
i never advocated catch up mechanics
and i never said any player should be given essentially by your words an efficiency modifier

your doubts do not concern me, regardless ive never actually produced any way to share my ideas and that wont change for the foreseeable future
>>
>>123489548
Anyone can hide a little shack in the woods. The problem is if you make a base that small, you won't have anywhere to store all your collected materials with which to build the more permanent location, let alone the means to transport them long distance to where you want to build. You need a metric fuckload of resources to build even a modest sized base. Also there's the problem of penning up dinosaurs. Birds are easy, park it on the roof and you're done. When you need to pen up a few medium sized dinos or a Rex/Spino you're pretty much giving up on hiding. Even if you use re-fertilizer, they'll simply knock the trees over every time you need to move them and you can't build a large enclosure for them without committing to a much larger settlement which will be easily located.

>>123492085
The point stands, until you present your ideas you have nothing.
>>
>>123492291
You can move a decent amount of stuff with an argentavis, a 2 man tribe will need to set up somewhere discreet regardless of what game mechanics are implimented because more people = more shit. If you're playing solo you dont tame spinos, you tame raptors and burds. I've encountered all these problems and what we did was flew all the materials from the shack to the primary base we were building and set up over a day or 2, first the housing and then the enclosure, we didnt build any mega-structures.
>>
>>123492852
you cant even move a 4x4 metal with an argent that isnt beyond the scope of what were talking about
fuck off
>>
>>123493817
>you have to bring your entire base with you in 1 run
You cannot build a megastructure base covered in turrets and shit solo unless its PvE and you are some kind of NEET.
If you make megastructures buildable for 1 person then a new kind of megastructure will replace the old ones for the 4+ people tribes involving massive entirely enclosed multi-hulled bases.

Come back to the real world, its a different play style, so join a tribe or stfu, you only need 2 friends to make a decent tribe.
