Inside 4-high stone building with a ceiling, passive Argent still goes missing. Do you get a death message if it dies while you are offline (when you login again) or should I search the area? edit: Well I never found the bird, but I went up to see a guy making his house on the cliff above mine. He is naked, and the front wall of his house is entirely made out of dinosaur gates. There was a dead triceratops and carno in front of his house. When I got close he said something like "help me! help me recover my bods" (his mic was breaking up and he had an accent). He kept running between the corpses and his house so I assumed he needed help carrying meat. I had my rex eat the corpses, grabbed the meat/hides/keratin from him, then ran up to the open gate. "Here's your stuff" I began to say, only to just then see a trike set to aggressive running at me from inside the house. The trike's hit was nothing HP-wise, a flea bite. The knockback however sent me sailing 100ft horizontally off the edge of the cliff, then down another 400ft or so to my death in the riverbed below. I respawned at my house and by the time I got back my rex had killed 3 of his dinosaurs.  So that's my first dino pvp story, I guess. turtlecrunch fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Jul 30, 2015 |

This is why you force feed them meat or drag wild dinos to finish the job.

Saw this interesting tip I had no clue about: If you hit E facing the right door (facing the gate) it opens outward. The left door opens it inward.

Want to give this game another shot. I had fun with it before. The biggest problem (aside from optimizations) was respawning or logging in in the middle of the night. There just is no way to get a torch together without guessing where materials are. God forbid a carnivore is in your vicinity. There is no way to defend when you have no tools and you're effectively blind. BEING A HUMAN IS HARD.

That's why you build yourself a house and keep some torches in a box there, or just do what I do and afk whenever night rolls around.

Sleeping bags are only one-time-use, so put them down when you're taming some animal in the wild or something. Learn the simple bed engram, it is reusable.

https://www.reddit.com/r/playark/comments/3f6y2l/there_seems_to_be_fertility_soil_i_went_from_0/ It looks like the area your tamed dinos live in also factors in on laying eggs. Dinos that didn't lay eggs before now do after being moved to a different location, nothing to do with the distance or "unstatis".

https://www.reddit.com/r/playark/comments/3fak4m/obelisk_character_data_transmission_remove_it_or/ Wait, am I reading this correctly? Can you transfer items official server to official server? It just doesn't allow character transfers? Can you literally make a hut on a pve server and just transfer your goods from the pve server to your pvp character?

It doesn't seem perfect cause I lost a couple items during a transfer like it was deleted. E: also I have seen servers where the obelisk is blocked with metal blocks to prevent item transfers. darthzeta88 fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jul 31, 2015 |

It doesn't seem perfect cause I lost a couple items during a transfer like it was deleted. I assume this doesn't work for unofficial to official right? Because it would be hilarious if it worked. Also, new piece added to the 191 patch notes that may be of interest to people: * Compound Bow has 5x more effective durability I wonder if that helps offset the cost of the bow now. It is only really good with metal arrows though which are its own problem (though, it seems all the arrows are recoverable other than the killshot unlike stone arrows).

Can you fire the metal arrows from a crossbow, or are they compound only?

Sadly, it also has a weird full pull issue. Unlike the wooden bow, the compound bow gives your character the shakes when fully pulled.

Which is silly, because a real compound bow won't cause you to shake when it is fully drawn. There are a lot of fixes this bow needs, durability is just a tip of the ARROW HAHahaha

Even with the x5 durability ( which was previously the same as the wood bow apparently) and assuming you could hit things as well as a gun, I see no benefit in using that thing over a decent longneck. I think they either need to make it the highest tier combat weapon by maybe upping the damage and allowing attachments to make it comparable to the guns. The alternative is to just lower the associated costs and make it an upgraded dino hunting weapon for people who like bows.

Traqs and armor piercing makes it really useful. And silent. A laser attachment would be cool though for short range combat.

It isn't really armor piercing though from what I've read. Or at least, it does carry damage to the armor as well. ComradeBigT posted:Even with the x5 durability ( which was previously the same as the wood bow apparently) and assuming you could hit things as well as a gun, I see no benefit in using that thing over a decent longneck. I think the holding idea they are using is the arrows themselves. Besides the killshot arrow, all arrows are recoverable. Similar in trait to how a pike has actual durability while the spear randomly broke. Currently, stone arrows are kind of pointless because they have a habit of only have 5 or so on the corpse when you loot them. The downside to all this though is that even the arrows need a fabricator to make. And that just gets messy. To make best use of your can of gas, you need to have the material for not only the bow, but the 50 arrows you'll want to stockpile as well. Also, patch notes updated some more with some wording tweaks. The sickle is going to be metal. And the 5x durability compound note has added that the camera shake was reduced when pulling. Edit: calling all farmers. Looking at wiki and other places, they all seem to suggest max yield on a small, medium, or large plot is 300. If that is the case, what exactly is the bonus of a large plot over a medium? If it is just storage space, the medium appears to have enough space for a day or so worth of ferts already. The only other difference I can tell is the amount of water it holds which is pointless when you have it irrigated anyway. JuffoWup fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Jul 31, 2015 |

As I've noted before, I've been playing on a PvE server. We have a limited ability to screw each other over but it can be done. Yesterday I was taming a bronto right outside my base. I was in an out so I accidentally left the doors open. Neighbors that' I've never seen before (we must have very different time zones) seized the opportunity and ran into empty my refiner, smithy and fabricator (anything not pin locked). I closed my doors and I gave them a really angry stare. They were locked out of all my riches, but then they saw it. The mother of all rewards, my compost bins. They looked inside and stole all the contents but curiously left the bags of fertilizer... They literally just stole all my poo poo. Am I salty about it? Yes. Did I complain about it in chat and call them greifers? No. I focused on what I could do. I was contemplating what to do for some small revenge, just something to say I won't just sit idly by. So I noticed they were building this giant dino pin. It's hard to decribe the size, but I maybe a football field or two. They spent hours building it and were about 1/4 of the way done. It was kind of impressive looking, if I'm being honest. So I took about 5 minutes, gathered up some materials, and layed thatch floors 50 meters apart all around their base and their new construction project. So they won't be able to build that pin or expand any further. When they lose dinos to the elements repeatedly, they will think about me. So I guess that's something. They still steal my poop though.
