I'm pretty sure they're in the supply crates inside caves, so you aren't just going to stumble upon one wandering around. You'll have to grind a bit to fight in there and get one.

You find mystery not items in the supply crate, carry it around for a couple hours, it then gives you a code. Doesn't seem to be any particular level of crate you need to open to get one.

Depends posted:Holy crap barrel rolls. I used my ptera with 2300% melee and I can fly into a group of anything and melt it all. Took 3 rolls to kill a high level rex and 2 for a level 55 bronto. I didn't even know this was a thing, thank you. I saw the pictures but the normal right click or left click didn't do anything so I thought it got left out. Now that I learned the magic of the C button, I roll around (literally) murdering everything. My ptera is only at 430% though. I was leveling it for speed, but it's fast enough now so I am going to start boosting it's melee. Now that I can use my Ptera to travel and get food for my carnivours, I don't think I will ever get off it. Dino MVP. TracerM17 fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Aug 29, 2015 |

In trying to figure out how to do the barrel roll, I mashed all the usual suspects of buttons. Including E. While a billion feet up in the air. Don't hit E.

So with scuba gear now available, is there any non-gimmick build reason to put points into O2? Melee damage also seems less desirable given the availability of harvester dinos for every resource(and more coming in the future). Is something like 150 weight/150 stamina/500 HP going to be the ideal build now?

I have literally met one person ever who wanted to level up oxygen and he wanted to be a full rp pirate on the seven seas. In a game about an island with dinosaurs where you can put a saddle on a shark thats not totally retarded, but its a close contender. gently caress 02.

I have over 400 oxygen. Haters gonna hate. Actually, I did that before scuba gear but I don't really regret it. Scuba is a rather high level item so tribes trying to grow from scratch (like the tribe I'm in) will still benefit from at least one member that pumps oxygen. nelson fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Aug 29, 2015 |

So while making a run through reddit trying to find out what the sarco buff was, it was pointed out that the devs had cleared it up for us. * Sarco buff: faster run speed, much faster mounted turn rate, higher tamed damage scaling Probably still not enough to be worth it though.

Is something like 150 weight/150 stamina/500 HP going to be the ideal build now? Unless things have changed drastically, massive HP builds are still terrible because of the way combat works, and you're not taking melee damage for the harvesting - that's just a bonus of high melee damage. Some HP is extremely nice to have so that you have more room to breath, but good armor is a much better protection for the investment. Very high melee damage builds do two things: break armor faster, and kill people faster once their armor is broken. High HP builds only help you take hits, they do absolutely nothing for your ability to take out threats. Once your armor is gone, which will only be a few swipes from a high melee character, you are dead in 2-3 hits even with a high HP build because holy poo poo even a vanilla pike is doing 150+ damage to unarmored bits, whereas with only 100% melee damage you will be wailing on their armor much longer. Guns change this some, since they just do damage without your stats influencing them, but if you can always dictate your terms of engagement you're a much savvier player than I.

Is there a good reason the compound bow is higher on the tech tree than assault rifles, sentry guns, and rocket launchers? Especially since it sounds like it's not even that much better than the crossbow, and worse without the metal arrows. Is the armor piercing really that much of an advantage over bullets?

On the last day of the freebie game I came across a body wearing all chitin armor carrying a crossbow and a crapton of tranq arrows. The next thing the server knows there's some red armored rear end in a top hat stalking the jungle tranqing people then dragging them to the river to be a sacrifice to his glorious crocodile god. It was a good way to end things.

I thought +50 was the max you could get on a tame? We popped a mammoth at +58 earlier today, what caused the extra 8 levels? We used kibble of course.

Enjoyed the game over this free weekend, it has a nice balance of danger and satisfaction from getting things done. I think I like that it takes a lot of work to get even the most basic of bases set up, lots of resources to build anything pretty much. Got chased by a giant crocodile thing, died multiple times to piranhas (gently caress piranhas), built the foundation a thatch hut before the weekend ended. Good poo poo.

He is saying that 50 level limit you are referring to is the amount of levels you can earn on a tamed dino. There is no limit on the extra levels you get when the tame is completed. That is based on the dinos level and taming efficiency.

I think I like that it takes a lot of work to get even the most basic of bases set up, lots of resources to build anything pretty much. Yeah, I'm finding out that even though playing single player may be a good tutorial, it just takes too much time and mats to do a lot of things without a tribe so I think I'll make the jump to multiplayer soon. I usually just dip my head in the water, let the piranhas come up to me, then jump out and spear them from the surface. I also had a crocodile thing (sarco?) attack me and my hut, but he got stuck on a rock so I killed him easily (love the game but I'd say at least 20% of the things I run into are stuck in something, especially on the beach). I did manage to tame a level 25 trike who got stuck in a tree near my base when I was like level 7. I found out later that I'm like a million levels from being able to ride her, so for now I just use her as a truck to hold wood and stone when I gather.

Trikes make for good trucks. Their carry weight increases rapidly if you choose to level those up and their runspeed is decent. Their stamina isn't so great, but creatures don't care about stamina if they are running etc while following you. Their knockback from attacking is pretty drat useful too. They could kill poo poo pretty well if you wanted to level up their melee damage, but a few trikes juggling something is also great to let you / your carnivores destroy the poor idiot thing while it is flying. Level up their HP a little bit so they don't get gibbed too quickly, then go hog wild with carry weight. I basically always bring a pair (or more) of trikes with me when I'm out gathering resources. And I'm using ankylos and mammoths right now. Trike saddle is available at level 20. Most people won't mind building one for you if you are willing to gather materials or trade something for them. Ask around, most people aren't huge jerks. A trike saddle is really drat cheap and easy compared to a lot of later stuff. Riding a trike lets you gather thatch and berries by attacking trees/bushes. You'll get more berries this way than if you gathered them by hand, but you won't get any fiber using the dino to do it. Later dinos are even better at gathering stuff but a trike is still pretty decent for moderate amounts of berries. You aren't at the phase yet where you need twenty thousand narcoberries or insane things like that.

My brief stint on the weekend server saw me spawning inside a cramped beach compound and slaughtering everyone within before climbing over their gates. Only piranhas would end this reign of terror. Don't build near the spawns, folks. Also, consider windows/roofs. Jackard fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Aug 31, 2015 |

The limit for taming bonus levels is 50% of the dino's starting level. A level 4 can get at most +2. Then, after taming, they can make 50 levels over time with xp.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I will probably jump to MP soon. I originally tried joining a few random non-goon servers and each one had giant bases and people riding T-rexes and stuff. Although I think that stuff is cool, I wanted to play the 'survival' part of it first since it felt pointless making stone stuff and thatch huts when everyone else on the server is already using guns and metal bases.

The one on 45 just popped up in the past few days after spending however long making 200+ C4 and killing 80% of the server's dinos.

Well, if you're okay with being part of a guerrilla force in an active conflict that is fighting against a bunch of racist, sexist, technologically superior enemies, we're in need of more goons looking to have a good time pushing their poo poo in. Come check out the PGS thread for more details, as I don't want to divulge too much in the open forum.

Don't do this. Just come to 360 and play on your own there before joining up. People won't mess with you for the most part and you won't have to re-level when you finally decide you want to play with us.
