Is it just me or is the auto-poop strangely prescient? Last night I was spearing a dodo then a giant bird came down from the heavens to gently caress me up. I immediately pooped. Same thin happened after a T-Rex bit me later that day. I heard ROAR bite, poop.

jestest posted:I paid my bird debt! Yeah, but now we need another lady meat truck. EDIT: Gather round goons, it's story time, a story that tells you "You should buy this game." Sunday morning we had found a spinosaur with decent level and coloration and decided "Yes this must be tamed." due to a paucity of goons with actual base building vision on this lead to a rash of goons deciding to help out in gathering meat for said spino so it could be tamed quickly. So we sally fourth upon a total of three T-Rexes and another spino, thus begins a herbivore Armageddon that we won't see the like of till a meteor comes down and crushes the island. While on the way I run across a pair of level 5 naked newbies, without a shred of common sense they run up to the T-Rex named "Goon Betrayal" and start yelling how cool it is over local voice chat. Deciding to preen a bit I let off the T-Rex roar which freaks them out and sends them scattering. They then run back and yell "That was awesome!" Then I eat them while they scream in terror. I am out here for meat after all. Forward to the dino slaughter, our Spino Meat Truck is in peril! He has been attacked by a pubbie riding a T-Rex and people with tranq arrows inside of a base. These fucks are attacking us? We own this server! (Note: We shall ignore the fact that Meat Truck was giving their base a little nibble because no rent had been paid). A flying wedge of T-Rexes goes flying to his aid and plows through the pubbie base destroying everything while they shriek on local voice coms about "Fair play" and how we had destroyed days worth of work. The base owners girlfriend says she is reporting us to the admins. Good luck with that lady. EDIT: I forgot to mention, one of our fliers plucked one of the guys off the base and started singing "A whole new world" to him right before dropping him to his death. We then finish up taming lady meat truck only for her to die on our own bases spikes 8 hours later. Goons bad. Rhymenoserous fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Jun 22, 2015 |

Prophecy120 posted:Medium and large plots are the only way to grow Longrass and Savoroot required to make the unlimited oxygen chowder, so they are critical if you ever want to farm pearls in the future. Right now? Not much you can do except have a big tribe with timezone coverage. The way you do it if you have people on is hop on your own flier and yank him off his saddle and drop him next to a rex that someone is riding. Alternatively if that's not an option hit him with tranq arrows and bring his bird down to where your aggressive dino's can bite.

Right now the defense against any dinosaur with a rider is really another dino with a rider. It's a bit unbalanced since air dominates air and ground. But it's also alpha, and supposedly we're only on the first revision on what you'll be able to do on dinos. I've heard rumors of building stuff on the larger ones. Also I'm sure the HP bloat will be dealt with at some level. EDIT: I've heard tranq arrows are pretty loving nasty vs tamed dinos. Someone should test with a flier.

Prophecy120 posted:The pain and suffering brought on by farming materials to build 2 auto-turrets, a power grid and 200 rounds of ammo has finally paid off. I was feeding all my dinos like normal and was startled by the sound of the auto-turrets giving their 2 second warning, followed by about a dozen gunshots. Some random pubbie flew over me on a low level Pteradon and both were quickly dispatched. Worth every hour of grinding. I won't be happy unless gooncave has a half dozen of these covering our main entry points.

Most of those people with rexes and C4 are part of a team, while you studiously avoid joining one. Enjoy getting wrecked I guess? Also if you can't get yourself back off the ground with basic kit before even leaving the beach you are playing this game drastically different than the way I do. If I respawn at a beach, less than 15 minutes later I'll have a few spears, a pick, an axe, a bow a dozen arrows a torch and probably a pocket full of berries.

I'm just losing a little bit of time to the swing timer, because whiffing has a longer timer than hitting something. You can. I got the bug last night and simply couldn't extricate myself from the rocks. So I pulled out the pick and "Mined air" till I escaped.

TeeMerk posted:I think I am going to set up on some new servers today, scout them out like nightwisher did for 82. It does get stale once you have 'beaten' a server. Not having the fear factor when playing a survival game and all. Apparently we have 18 angry chinese outside of our base right now giving us a good stomping. The fear factor has little to do with organized tribes to oppress you. It goes away when your situational awareness adjusts to the curve. I've yet to be killed by another player (that wasn't fixing the login bug for me, or goons just being dumb). And I rarely get killed by dinos either.

kedo posted:What level of granular control do you have over resource gathering rates when setting up a server? The 2x one I'm on right now is great for taming and manual harvesting, but if you hop on a trike and start hitting bushes you'll fill up your dino's inventory in 30 seconds (which is convenient, but makes keeping a large number of tamed herbivores and narc production hilariously easy). It's already hilariously easy if you have a dino. I mean I can crank out a few hundred nark in a half hour.

I'm always terrified of losing tamed mounts because I just don't have uninterrupted hours to replace them most of the time so I tend to be a big coward. Like I've got a 38 raptor, what should I realistically be afraid of and what is just a meat pinata? Kill anything up to rexes/brontos. Once you get a sabre you basically become a monster.

I'm a bit worried about their 'no wipe' stance as even for full release, they haven't mentioned anything about wipes. I hope they won't just release 1,000 new servers and spread people around too much, or have new people joining servers with lvl 500 Argents and Rexes waiting on the beach for them to spawn. Or just our one guy in a sarco. FYI: Running away from a sarco into the water is generally a bad idea.

Server populations shifted heavily after the last wipe (Two days after we abandoned 40 it was full again) as people seek greener pastures now that they weren't tied to the tamed dodos that whatever megaclan was on their last server deigned to let them keep.

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.

JuffoWup posted: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. gently caress. That.
