Could somebody give me a quick heads-up on the dinosaur features here? I'm pretty interested in this game, early-access jank and all. It looks pretty charming. I enjoy a good sandbox builder, but I'm kinda burned out on minecraft. What I'd be picking this up for is the dinosaur stuff, so how much is there to do there and how good is it right now? Sounds like you can mount dinos and attack each other for sure, how do the mechanics work for controlling and ordering dinosaurs? Can you corral several at once? Breeding? Can you order around several at once or are you limited to the one you're saddled on? I read the OP but it seemed kinda out of date, and most of the linked FAQs seemed to be talking about planned features, trying to get an idea for whats playable at the moment.

The more I read about this game the more sold on it I am. Gonna pick it up after work and check it out. You can ride sabertooths and megalodon sharks?

Inzombiac posted:Goddamn it, I have poor impulse control and bought this. WITCHER 3 IS RIGHT THERE AND I'M BUYING JURASSIC PARK HUNGER GAMES. I just bought it too. So far it feels like DayZ with dinosaurs, but that's actually a huge loving improvement. I was freezing to death in the cold rain so I punched a tree for thatch but I got super hungry so I punched some dinosaur and it ate me. 10/10 would play again. Need to get in on the goon server.

89 posted:Compatible with a 360 controller? It does have gamepad controls options and lets you bind keyboard keys to whatever you want, should probably work with a 360 controller. Haven't tried it myself though so can't say for sure. But worst case you could always use joy2key.

Demiurge4 posted:I like the high level supply drops only having blueprints, that puts a nice limiter on some of the endgame poo poo. But I'd like them to go further and remove all the weapon engrams above pistol and make them a one-use or more blueprint. If they also make supply drops completely random and not in pre-set spots (or increase the spots 10x so they don't always drop in the same place) that would make broken endgame poo poo a lot more managable. Make the T-Rex saddle only obtainable from cave supply chests and we're golden. That's super cool

I'm enjoying this reset, I lost my little cabin but everybody else lost their fortresses, running around on the unspoiled ground is pretty great. Its still in Early Access...

It seems like the devs may be cool with having private servers go on indefinitely without getting wiped, since that doesn't really give you an advantage over anybody, its just your own little place. But for any kind of public server or pvp server, they'll do pretty regular wipes until release as different exploits get discovered.

Inzombiac posted:Given enough time, can a single person learn every engram? Before the patch you couldn't. I did notice the patch gave me back more engram points than I should have had before the refund, but that was probably to take into account the new engrams. E: FB

DreamShipWrecked posted:If there is one thing I have learned from Rust it's that the game is most fun when it's new, but really easy to get burned out on with scattered content and frequent wipes. Yeah, plus even if you don't get wiped lots of your resources will spoil over time; may as well use them now and then just get more later. I do like that dinos are more of the thread. Players are an ever present threat to watch out for, and put some pressure on things, but you don't want to be constantly killed by some griefing dicks like in DayZ, where the people are far worse than the zombies. I like killing and taming dinos, and the occasional border dispute with some enemy tribe is all the pvp I need. For me having other people around is more about seeing their buildings and fighting over territory than it is 24/7 deathmatch.

89 posted:Anybody with a 970 GTX that can vouch for how well the game runs for you? Game runs pretty drat smooth, looks amazing and runs at 60+ FPS except when the server hiccups. 970 and a 2500k. High settings except shadows? Why would you even ask? 970 is a pretty beefy card. There are people playing in the thread running ARK on toasters by comparison. It looks like rear end but its still playable. But no, of course it looks pretty drat good on a 970.

That's not the only graphical issue though. Water turns into golden yellow rivers of piss right around sunrise even if the sun isn't actually past the horizon yet. Trees that are supposed to be swaying in the breeze instead do the loving limbo. Its Early Access though, I can imagine these things all getting sorted out over time and kinda being low priority right now versus major gameplay features. Also big trees give you like barely any wood while tiny vines give you tons.

TwatHammer posted:These are my current settings. I get very little fps drop other than when loading into gooncave. Yeah I've got my settings pretty much the same as yours except Anti-Aliasing and General Shadows are both on Medium. As such I get 60fps.  Bunch of people probably have SSAO and Tessellation on

My old base got rekt so I spent the day hiding a bunch of tiny little respawn shacks around, with any luck even if one gets found and destroyed I'll still have a few around. ARK is running a bug bounty program, pretty drat cool. Get $100! http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/594821545181831108/ Everything about this game is way more professional than anything minecraft, dayZ, h1z1 or rust ever did.

Welp, this is like the fourth or fifth day in a row now I've logged in to find myself either naked or dead with all my work from the last day done. There was just a server reset but people are already running around with t-rexes and C4 happy to wreck other people's poo poo. I really like most of this game but the fact that your character just lays there undefended if you log out for even a few hours is probably going to kill this game for me pretty quick. I have a job and even if I didn't I don't want to play the same game 24/7. Problem is if I join the goon clan its not going to feel like I'm making as much progress, I'll just be another cog in the machine. But if I play on a private server then it'll just be me and my few friends, nobody to fight with. They really need something in between, like PvP-light server rules, where you can log out and be safe and keep your inventory, but where otherwise things work the same as they do now. Having to scrounge up the materials to make a torch when you've been stripped naked is just not any kind of fun. I don't mind people knocking down my bases so much but taking literally all of my hard-earned items, my blueprints, poo poo like that.... its just killing my drive to pay this game. Anything I do will just be gone the next day, except for experience.

Rhymenoserous posted: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. I have a tribe, thanks. That's not enough. Unless you're a giant team that has players in all time zones on 24 loving 7, you're going to get wrecked while you sleep.  Jackard posted:Use the tribe as a safe haven, otherwise hermit it up? Yeah that might be the best option. Get on goon server in goon tribe but then build my own poo poo somewhere else. Even then though I wouldn't have people defending me while I sleep unless I run over to the goon base and sleep there every time. Its just kinda a wonky game mechanic. If nothing else while you're logged out, if your character isn't unconscious they should like, fight back. If you have a spear, they should poke whoever tries to take their inventory.

NuckmasterJ posted:I have not noticed much of an improvement with my 780 GTX. I've had to turn some textures down to see if I can get things a bit smoother. Yeah I've noticed hiccups when entering caves, they're probably using them as portals to partition the game space and they probably only accurately render foliage for your current closest world tile, everything else is probably just faked with random trees so that'd explain what you're seeing.

Turtlicious posted:It's rocks loading up as invisible on your screen. Not so much invisible as not loading period. Your local client thinks its okay to walk into the space so it does so, but then when it communicates to server "hey I'm at X-Y-Z" the server says "no you aren't, that's inside a rock, so back you go" and it creates a lag-like situation. Its a problem of data sync. Somehow the rocks aren't getting properly synced across clients. Probably a server bug.
