Soooo anyone know what happened to our two megalodons and two of our ichthyosaurus?

---

I wondered the same thing. They have been gone a couple days. Funk and I were talking about it last night. We are also down a raptor.

---

A few days ago i ran into the base to a frenzy of 3 or 4 megalodons attacking our two (who were acting like nothing was happening). I tried to shot the attackers but couldn't even kill one before they devoured ours. Then had to log off cause txag2k was updating the sever.

Don't know about the ichtyosaurus.

---

Were they set on passive?

I planned to finally get on last night after my long sabbatical, but the game spent so long updating I never made it on. Maybe this weekend.

---

Last time I was on, they were set to neutral - it's possible somebody changed them. We've also had a number of other members flying over our base with argents - it's possible one of them grabbed Jerry and dropped him in the ocean/killed him.

On a lighter note - this happened last night

I know both AgDog and I both took birds over to take a look but I know he didn't grab anything nor would we troll like this. In fact if I EVER saw/had proof anyone ever did this... I would KICK THEIR ARSE OFF the server. Period, you're done. Please let me know if you EVER see anything like this happening.

Now filling a pen with dodos... that's something Ag would do... good times

Yeah... we were noticing an increase in our wild dodo population.

As for the missing raptor, it's just a theory. I know there's a couple of tribes and others on the server. We may just need to get our smaller dinos under cover.

Whew! After I got home from the Rangers game I finally made it back into Ark, after almost a month off. Of course there were more updates, and I had a frustrating time finding the server (I forgot to check the box to unhide servers with passwords), but I'm there!

A few observations after my month-long sabbatical:
- The game seems to run better than ever. No lag (may be due to the new server), better FPS, etc.
- Lots of new animals and dinos. I HATE the ants. At one point they were camping my body, and even when I'd spawn back in and try to get them to follow me, they'd be back on my original body with all my inventory when I died and spawned back in. I finally just had to forget the stack of walls on that body and start over.
- I found the new base! I'm digging the castle - my wife walked by and I showed it to her too - she was impressed. I was going to build my shanty against it's walls, but I couldn't because that was too close to enemy buildings. A dinosmatter guy I didn't know was on, but he wasn't in TS and he didn't talk in game, so I didn't get to rejoin the tribe yet.
- At one point (while trying to recover my stuff from the ants) I spawned in the DinosMatter base! I climbed a tower and jumped off because I wanted to keep leveling up and working on my shanty for the night, but that may be your problem with random deaths. If there are no structures in a big enough space, can both people and dinos spawn in? That may be how people are dying when offline - could dinos be spawning in and eating them?
- I changed my game name to Kerbouchard. Even though I've been Ark on texags for years, it was too confusing in the game.

It was me flying around and I certainly wouldn't mess with dinos.

Yep, right in the middle. I used the second eastern spawn point. I rattled the gates, looked at the dinos, then climbed a ladder to a tower to suicide for a new respawn.

More the reason for folks to make sure to shut the doors. Logged on yesterday to find every one wide open and nobody on.

I logged on this morning and doors were open on both bases. No one else online.

I think he starved to death. I checked the trough and it was void of meat. Dropped in 3 stacks and they disappeared in nothing flat. So I dumped in about 20 stacks.

Really sad to see we lost Jerry though.

I've never seen a dino starve to death in my entire time of playing this game...

That's the only explanation we can provide for a ptera that died in the middle of the base while we were online in the base, and the death message just said "... has died.".

Yup. Make sure there are feeding troughs on both sides of you base/pan to cover all area IMO.

Castle keep completed. First wing 50% constructed. Keep those walls and ceiling tiles coming! Wooooo!!! If anyone wants to start the second wing, just make it an identical copy of the first!

I'd be there, but I skipped town again to bird hunt for a couple days. I'll see yall this weekend.

Did the artifacts blocking the roof go away?

They did. Strange bug. At least it clears itself up with a reboot.

Hey guys,

r2272s (steam name) Rob of Aggielinks here. I am here to say hi and thanks for being awesome and helpful in game.

Yes please!

I was thinking baby dinos would be a good plugin as well, but I have concerns with the fact that they don't grow up tame. I suppose you could get around this by creating a growth pen with ledges so you can safely tranq the hell out of the Rex you once rocked in your arms.

Holy hell, the new armadillos gather ever lovin hell out of stone. 270 from one rock.

Nice! When did we get one of those?

Wee, Funk and I were on a taming spree. Tamed a rex, armadillo, raptor, handful of scorpions and multiple pteras Wednesday night.

If you have one near a mountain, they get 100+ per hit when it's a gold/yellow stones.

Had a similar idea for an egg farm. It would look more like the industrial chicken farms you see out in the country. Rows of dinos elevated 2 walls off the ground floor. All you'd have to do is keep the feeding troughs full and run down the middle aisle picking up eggs and fertilizer.

So much stuff to add to our castle

Also, I just learned that force feeding stimberries causes massive pooping to commence.

WHOOOOOOP! I HAVE A GOAL! (one of my pet peeves about games like ARK, Minecraft, DayZ, etc is that I get bored quickly)

I'll start working on a design for these (unless Funk you got something to work from).

We planned on running metal pipes up to the castle right? I can start making those as well.

Do we really want to run metal pipe all the way up there, or just have a bunch of rain collection barrels?

Also, we can have both of these things down by the beach?

We have a pretty nice step up using ramps to roll all the poop and eggs into an easy to collect walkway, still a work in progress but we have proven the Idea works.

Just tamed my first t-rex. So pumped. Meet Mr. T

Nice. Looks cool!

A level 16 Alpha T-Rex can't stand up to 200 arrows and Funk on a normal T-Rex.

Has anyone summoned the Brood Mother yet?

Y'all are taking on alpha's with stone arrows?

I am way to scared of alpha's to do anything but take Mr. T over to welcome them.
