If this is anything like rust then i'm probably going to end up sinking hundreds of hours into this.
poo poo looks fun

*Edit:
Looks like they bumped back the release by another few hours.

There are pubbies already crying about being kos'd already on the steam forums and how raiding is immoral. :shrug:

loving with these guys is going to be the best source of tears.

Riding a herd of raptors onto the beach and wrecking pubs is going to be cool and good. Or carrying them off over the ocean and dropping them to drown.

From what i've seen via streams is that you can drag people you've knocked out into the water and let them drown. You can possibly over-encumber them so they cant get out of the water to not drown.

Is there a limit to the number of dino's you can have? cause I want to recreate the scene from Jurassic Park where the little foot tall dino's eat that dude.

I dont think there is a limit to how many you can tame, but more of a how to keep them all fed type of thing.

The streams have made it abundantly clear that im going to enjoy the living gently caress out of this game, very much so like legacy rust.

Nothing wrong with new rust at all. Last time i played rust is what is now legacy. Its probably just as fun now as it was back then but never got around to playing it again.

I'll see you all on the server in a couple of hours. Slow download speed here.
Then i'll be completely up for getting smashed in the back of the head by other goons.

I thought those obelisks were similar to rust airdrops and gave you loot if you walked up and opened it. Boss spawns are pretty cool too.

You're not wrong. The different-colored beams of light (I've seen white, yellow, green, and I think blue?) point to crate drop locations that you can open if you meet a certain level requirement. I wouldn't call those obelisks, though. That said, the thing I'm referring to isn't exactly an obelisk, either, since it's basically a giant floating construct that seems to be located over an arena or altar of some sort.

E: Do we have a Steam group or Mumble channel for this?

I saw the ones with the level req's from watching liriks stream. Never got to see him open one though. Could be both, who knows.

What the gently caress. I leave for 5 hours and you all go and mount up raptors?
Looks like i've got some catching upto do, not to mention buffing those walls.

3/4 Trikes

1 level 46 TRex
1 Carno
1 Scorpion


All in all, we had a poo poo load of fun while murdering these nerds. Not to mention the huge amount of loot we made from them.

I went on a deep cave exploration trip in a flooded sinkhole I found at the bottom of a huge cave system. I managed to find a small tunnel at the bottom of the sinkhole that lead into a snaking network of underwater tunnels punctuated by a few small pockets of air. I spent about 15 minutes exploring before I died to schools of piranha fish, but it looks like there might be some really good poo poo down there. Goddamn it is freaky swimming through the dark tunnels though.

edit: I learned two things today: One, that you have to place IEDs on structures, they can't just be placed wherever you want on the ground. So I built a fence foundation and wired up two IEDs to make a tripwire just inside our gate. The second thing I learned is that IED's don't care if you're friendly or enemy, they blow the gently caress up either way if you accidentally trip it.

Now we can add death by friendly IED's to your list of things killed by

Can't log in. Takes me straight back to the main menu after loading everything, but with no mouse pointer. Weird bug. I see that some other people were having trouble logging in, too?

I have that issue currently but when i did log in, My character died with all my poo poo on him and my body and lootbag ~vanished~, good to know that i lost so much poo poo because of that, Really liked that rifle and assault rifle too. That rifle instigated so many pubbie tears on official40.

TwatHammer
Sep 29, 2014

My best moments on Offical 40 so far have been loving around with the Argentavis. Some guy in chat was crying that he was getting mauled by some wild spino so i asked if he needed help and que the fun, He told me exactly where he was so me and kabouki decided to go gently caress with him. I sniped his buddy who was right infront of us and then i hopped on my bird and decided i would have my fun. I would dive down on him and right before i would attack i would yell kaw-kaw through proximity chat and then kill him. I managed to do this like 5 times and oh boy, the rage in chat was just simply the best.



People in the tribe were asking if it was me doing that because of how long it was going on for. Everytime i did it and he pinged up in chat mumble erupted into laughter. Towards the end of our fun kabouki picked him up on his ptereadon and dropped him infront of the spino nearby. There were roughly 9 loot bags on the ground from where this guy had been killed. The highlight though was when everyone just started making bird jokes to this guy. tumblr hottie managed to get the blame for it all even though he was nowhere near the scene.



Overall 10/10 GOTY right here.

TwatHammer
Sep 29, 2014

Had some disgruntled guy on server 40 add me on steam and tell me he wanted to gently caress his friends over. Long story short i got him to unclaim his 2 t-rex's and 3 carnos and claimed them for myself and poo poo load of loot. Not to mention leveling their entire base. Felt appropriate to leave a sign saying "Twatpocalypse" in place. Since everyone in that base had proclaimed their undying hate for me. Should make for a great trail of tears over the next few hours when they log back in.



Never not scam pubbies in ARK.

watching the chat live now, grats, Twathammer; I haven't seen people get this pissy in a multiplayer game in a while :)

Honestly the fallout from tonight has been the best in a while. He's been going at it for like 5 hours, I've just logged off and he was still at it so, probably more in him left to go. Poor darwinism has been tormenting that poor oval office the entire time.

Edit*
The saga continues.
[After the whole, taking his 2 t-rex's and 3 carnos ect]



From this nights evening of fun. Props to kuobuki for snapping these up.






Honestly, there are so many screencaps of the cat that it got too much. Visceral and co have been salty as poo poo since we went rolling around the map with sky cancer. I took some but not too many from my own view, http://imgur.com/a/HsD5A
