Atheist Sunglasses posted:I'm interested in this game but the OP says this game tops out at 20 fps. Is this still true? The one thing that had me quit both DayZ and H1Z1 was the horrible performance. I don't understand how anyone can aim or or do anything productive when the entire game is a stuttering slideshow. Why can't any of these survival games figure it out? I have an older mid-range Geforce 760GT with some overclocking (nothing crazy). After adjusting few visual settings in game my FPS is well with in playable range, 40 to 65 FPS depending on the terrain and amount of structures in view.

I think that, while devastating to lose your stuff, official servers instill a fear in you that makes you learn faster, play better, and enjoy the times you aren't losing your stuff way more. That's the thing though, I didn't send them after a T-Rex. The player just randomly came out of the forest and wrecked my poo poo.

I really appreciate that this game rewards crafting and building as much as combat. I play on a private server with a few friends and I tend to avoid any kind of fighting, but I don't struggle to keep up with the others in level at all, which is always a huge frustration in multiplayer games for me.

Nahrix posted:You lure the Rex to your base, and tame it in a pre-built taming pen where it can be safe, returning to it to fill it up on narco + meat every now and again , while you play the game normally in the meantime. You put a fridge or two in the taming pen. When the rex gets about halfway starved you go alpha raptor hunting and put the prime in the fridge. At 500 food you mass dump the prime into the rex. Blammo. 3 hour tame. Alternatively you wait till you have kibble to tame and get a 1.5 hour tame.

If I'm just starting out would it be unwise to join up with goons on 82 or 40? A few friends play on 45 and that's where my character is now, but I might host a singleplayer game with accelerated rates so I can get a better idea of what I'm doing. Strangely not everyone is a dickhead. Some guy noticed I was new and gave me a bow with a good number of arrows.

Almost made the game unplayable when you were getting eaten by your own dinos when you logged in and had to find MIA admins because it reverted the admins list to people that weren't playing. Most of the reason we switched servers was because of that cursed tribe database. I know it is prolly fixed now, but why risk it? now stop saying server numbers. this isn't PGS.

Welp, the stories I'm hearing on steam/reddit is as I feared. The monkey requires too much baby sitting with no middle ground between junk food (berry/raw meat) and kibble. If there was a prime, it would be tedious, but not to this level. This guy seems to be running around the same times as trikes or stegos. However, you have to baby sit those hours by tossing it a berry every few minutes while tiptoeing around its agro radius. I hope you have a full day set aside if you plan to tame a 120. Particularly without kibble. Kibble would bring it to 2 hours, but there is still the babysitting.

One solution for the wondering I've seen is to build a little shack with a hole in the top for feeding. That doesn't change the waiting around to feed the fucker berries every 5 min though. The throwing gimmick seems pretty useless, and unless they have really great damage scaling or something there is no reason to even bother with 5 hours of berry feeding. And I just wanted an animal friend to put hats on.  Edit: Even if the berry rate speeds up, that mean you can't even really go around to get more berries or do other productive things.

"I tamed a low level dino on a 1.5x tame server in 30 minutes, so it isn't bad guys!" What I read is "this low level dino would take you 45 minutes on an official, get hosed as you look into the 100s".

On the flipside I don't know why you'd want a 100s ape anyway, they're not that useful for much. They only gather fiber while wandering around on their own, not following or ridden. Really you pen them in with a re-fertilizer and forget about them other than to get the fiber.

Earlier today there were some posts on the steam forums about the ape in SOTF and people whining about them just dominating other dinos. One of the devs even replied indicating they'll be out of that gamemode for a bit while they rebalance. Can't really find the link on mobile right now but it does indicate that they can do decent damage at least. If they don't do much damage though, gently caress even trying.

They kill things well enough if leveled up for it and don't require a saddle so if you have access to Carnos those are likely better as attack mounts

From what I understand if you fly around and gently caress with your graphics in the right way, you can see player made structures long before you see trees and stuff. So there's no way to really 100% hide anything.

So with a bunch of goons playing this all over this place, I thought it would be fun if someone could set up a SOTF server, something that could maybe be like 3 hours long and Goon only. Top 3 get prizes and I would be willing to donate a cert or something as one of the prizes. Maybe some steam codes or something as other prizes. It would be fun and not take as long as an ankly tame and maybe someone could record/stream it. If this idea has merit then

Trip report: tamed a 96 ape yesterday, got him to about 50% two times and a dilo came up and aggroed him. After killing the dilo his tame bar reset both times. After that I fenced off a valley with spike walls and lured him in. Got it to 90% but hosed up and got to close. He turned on me got a hit in before I could back off and my Argent jumped in to help me. Got on my Argent and flew him out of the valley and reset the aggro on the ape. Came back and the tame was reset. Queue the forth try. I built this taming corral next to the southern most cave so I built a stone doorway in the entrance that I could fit in that he could not. Started taming and retreated into the cave when he aggroed me. You can sit 10 feet from him and he will reset without dropping the tame so it seems as long as he doesn't aggro another dino the taming doesn't reset. Tldr: don't let your ape aggro or get aggroed by other dinos or the taming resets. Also in regards to their fighting ability, their knock back is really useful like the trikes, I was able to kill raptors and carnos with little trouble.l if I timed the hits right. A trike took him down to 50% though and he has 3k hp so that was odd.

*sigh* I was really hoping they'd answer mine about their dino balancing. Particularly with herbivores that are just ranks of berry gathering as you go up in saddles. Although, one idea I kept toying was answered with another person's which is about stone structures taking reduced damage, but some damage from herbivores (say, stego, anky, and bronto) as siege type dinos. But no, they don't plan to change stone from being dino immune for offline defense needs. But it is ok for an alpha to come barreling through a stone base to rip it open on primitive servers. How are primitives anyway. From what I've gathered, your home is pretty much a pve site where no attacker can raid because it is stone. And this leaves the pvp to just random encounters in the wild. Bonus points go to herbivore island for naturally defending you against alpha animals rampaging through your home. Oh, other bit of news with that organic turret. As expected, it grows in a crop plot. But crop plots will soon be able to be placed on structures. Thank god, I can soon enclose my home.

Use carrots or corn or taters instead of berries to tame herbivores. Kibble is even better of course.
