Torchwood is the tribe

Cool, there is a spit of land next to the base which I set up. Always looking for a more permanent site though.

Finally got back into this game after not touching it for several weeks due to issues I've mentioned earlier in this thread. Two friends have started on a PvE server so players can't kill one another and buildings are indestructible, which for me is a big bonus. No logging out for a day only to find when starting again you're dead because someone broke into your base, trashed it and killed me.

We've yet to progress off the beaches much though, and have been building a fairly large base with corral for our dinos so the going is good so far. I don't normally like playing such games in a PvE mode, but with this particular one it makes a big difference for my enjoyment of it.

Still on a PvP server. Lots of hostilities until the server went quiet but now it's nearly back up to capacity and things kicking off again. This time we've plenty of explosives, rifles and autoturrets plus multiple 100+ level T rexes and Spinos biggrin

Things do sound interesting when you're at the higher levels with guns etc, I imagine being on a PvE server a lot of that weaponry is going to be a bit useless without players to attack or bases to defend against raids.

I was bored to tears with PvE.

At higher levels it's all about pvp.

I'd agree with this with something like DayZ, but I was getting so fed up of dying whilst logged out with ARK that it just sucked the fun out of it. I'm sure once you're at the higher levels you can build stronger bases to resist raids, but in the early game I was forever being raided and killed when I was logged out for the day and having my progress and loot set back.

If anyone fancies another go at it, we have a pretty substantial footprint on an official EU PVP server and things are about to kick off. Various bases across the map, well defended with turrets etc so no logging in to death every time.

Sounds good, which server is it? Do you still need to meet a person of the tribe so they can invite you or can you do it with a PM?

Still need to physically meet you, but we can fly to the spawn point and pick you up. Best to get a chat on Teamspeak first to make sure it's what you're after. Add me on Steam (ph_art0ir) and I'll send you the details.

I really like the idea of this but I get the feeling you need to play it for hours and hours.

Can anyone tell me? Can I drop in every couple of weekends for an hour or two?

Probably best to play on a PvE server or single player in that case.

Have you tried the Argentavis?
Not quite as quick as the Pteranodon but it can carry loads more

This is free on Steam this weekend. Not bad, had a couple of hours so far and then found the thread. Will find out if i'm still alive when I log back in.

At least I now know what all the bodies just lying about were all about. Sorry to whoever it was I gave a kicking to.

Did you buy it Bullet? If anyone else is looking for a tribe, we have some major expansion ongoing.

No. I played a little more and it's certainly something I'm interested in but I don't do paid for Early Access plus I have Elite, Mad Max and iracing to play at the moment (and 300 others in my steam account).

I may purchase when it goes GA.
