Some info about the DodoRex if we plan on taking it on...

Behavior

• Movement: The DodoRex however is very fast and can sprint faster than most creatures for short periods of time. However, the DodoRex cannot swim well and is incredibly slow in the water.
• Attacks: The DodoRex has two attacks. The melee damage attack is focused forward only, it is not an AOE and appears to only harm about a 30 degree cone in front of it. Its fire breath attack appears to be a frontal AOE affecting a 90 degree+ area. The DodoRex cannot use his frontal fire AOE while he is swimming in the water. The DodoRex can damage metal structures, he obliterates metal foundations/walls within seconds.
• Health: It has 666,666 health points in the wild at level 1 (usually the level it is summoned at). It also regenerates 250 hit points per second. With its health regeneration and high HP pool, it will likely take multiple players and multiple resources to even lose a small amount of his total hit point pool.
• Spawning: When the DodoRex spawns, a text will appear to every online player stating The DodoRex has appeared and the moon turns orange with the silhouette of the DodoRex's head across it. Every 3rd day, at 00:00 the DodoRex will spawn, giving players a total of ~7:00 min to kill it. After that, you must wait three 24 min cycles before another will spawn. The Location of its spawn is completely random. It is advised to gather multiple tribes and split up scout areas around the 20:00 on the night of the third 24 min cycle, giving you 4 minutes to get into a nice spread set of positions to locate it faster.

I think getting into water is key

Stream this on twitch and I'll donate 15 bucks to whoever runs the server and I don't even play!

When do you plan to do this? I imagine the event won't be around forever - have they said how long it lasts?

I keep reading that people are dragging it to the water and using their sea creatures to attack since the dodorex can't attack them back. In addition take damage from drowning.

Tonight sound good?
Strat:

What, not going to tame that thing?

Their strategy was a bunch of things, some of which didn't work. We don't have the IEDs or the squadrons of dimorphodons, and we just have a few water dinos. If we can get it somewhere in the water we can fight it without taking hits we can all shoot it with a few thousand arrows, but we don't have a ton of dinos to lose in a long fight. I mean, I'd trade a t-rex or our argents for the kill, but if we go head to head we'll run out of dinos before we can bring him down.

What about on the west side of the island near our little water base? It would be a good place to store supplies and such.

I can be on tonight by 9 or 9:30 if everyone else is ready to give it a go. Tuesdays are late because we have cub scout stuff, but I'll be on as soon as I can.

Txag, can you guys join us in teamspeak? That would make it easier.

And of course we'd love the tame, but similar to alphas they can't be tamed.

Of course I was kidding about that strat. They took a beating. I'm totally down to have it follow off a cliff to the water to take fall damage and then drown. I know a place that will almost insta-kill a 10K+ Rex with a fall ... :S

For location, I was thinking of that bronto isle area (where TexAgs had our cliff base on the old server), there is a tall cliff if we were going to kill it (not just drown it) where it can't reach us but we could unload on top of it. We could supply ammo for errybody up in tharrr!

Could also have one of our Quetz flying above... with mounted turrets i do believe.

Yeah, I just kind of skimmed through the video, so I thought you were serious. At least after all that they got the kill.

Bronto isle is actually a good idea. Two of us took out a whole herd of brontos there a few weeks ago - you can definitely get up high and shoot down at them, as long as we have enough people we can outpace its healing rate. We'll just need to ferry plenty of ammo and bows there, or maybe even build a fabricator so we can repair them as we go.

They had a lot of those plants and remember this thing shoot fire. But seriously if y'all are gonna go at it, stream it.

Does using fall damage and drowning damage constitute being a glitch and therefore would be bannable offense by Twitch?

No?

I'm game. I actually have a bunch of those plant seeds in the castle, but it would take hours to get those plants established (I assume they take fertilizer just like regular plants). If we can decide on a strategy and location I can start setting up this afternoon.

So I don't think this has been brought up yet, but last I recall, our night cycle is set to 2x. Spawn time for the Dodorex is only 7 mins on an official server. We're going to have to change the night cycle if we even want to have a chance at him. Additionally, that's only 7 minutes (assuming we don't lengthen the night cycle) to either a) get everyone in place, b) try to move him to where we want him. I'm not sure the second is going to be completely feasible and still provide enough time to try to kill him.

I want the whole server to fight a Dodorex so we can get masks and the achievement. Anyone down for this? If we can't find one, I can always spawn in one.

RIP.

For the record, we just have to engage him before daytime. As long as they are fighting, they won't despawn.

And yes, it helps to have admins who can put one where we want him.

That video was during the day. There is probably a set spawn/kill command on the 4 night timer. As long as we spawn it after the kill command, we would have until the next one to finish him off.

Also, just for fun, while we are spawning dodos we should set up an octogon over water that is big enough for the dodorex fill it with 500 max level dodos with their health and melee damage boosted and see if they can take it down. The fire breath is an AOE but can't be used in water. His regular attack is single target and doesn't seem very fast so they would be able to beat on him for a while before he killed them all. Too bad we didn't build the Kyle Field arena.....

Oh that's good to know.

T&P for the server machine....

I'm game for tonight but work until 10p CST so can't be on until then. If we are trying to get him into water, we might be able to wall him in since his attack is limited in water. We might also be able to kite some wild megaladons and turtles over to it to help out.

Let me know...

It didn't happen. Wee, myself, and pantalga were online for a few hours, but our server was empty and the three of us weren't enough to even give it a go, so we played BF4 instead.

We need to schedule a time that will work for more people before the event runs out. But, not this weekend - it's opening weekend in Texas.

What time? There were only 2 of us on when i logged off just after 11:30. I mentioned to Choc that the Dodorex was up for 10 mins on a normal night when he spawns in naturally.

I was on from 930 to about 1,but I didn't spend much time in the game. We were watching arkservers.net and our own TeamSpeak. The only player we saw logged into the server was Choc, so we did something else.

Also... this:



Pimp My Rex

Adventures of Giganotosaurus hunting:

Attempt 1) Near hypothermia, 2 birds beat up badly, broken gun, out of arrows... strike one.

Attempt 2) DED 200+ level Ptera... RIP (sorry AgDog).. strike two.

Attem... *** that thing.

Err.... It would be nice if they would finish it for one platform before moving to another... Or at least work out some of the big issues that have still persisted the entire time it has been released.

Shouldn't delay the development process as much since Xbox One runs Windows 10. Easy to port. Xbox has an early access program like Steam where you play the game in development.

So much Fallout 4 ... need more dino

$18 on steam now

Our last pledge drive carried us through a few months but it's about that time again. What do ya'll want to do with the server as another payment is coming up in a few weeks? I'm currently all-in with Fallout and not sure I'll be playing much of Ark for a little while at least and wanted feedback/input from y'all.

I'll kick in if others want to play and keep it up. I haven't gotten on lately, mostly because every time I have some time no one else is on.
