Ark:survival (Xbox one)
Discussion
Server problems seem to be fixed
Managed to jump into pvp and it's a lot of fun, in a tribe and managed to tame a turtle thing.
You do get killed a lot but if you treat it as more of a survival game than minecraft it's easier.
Also found that sometimes it's easier being that dick that kills people on site, had a 2 people kill me on site when I just started , found them later and they both had loads of gear! Quickly sneaked up behind them and speared them

All that jazz said:
The issue isn't with the PVP. It's the fact that you can't leave the server once on it so while you're working and sleeping in real life, some little kid is destroying all your hard work. That gets tiresome very very fast.
What do they do to combat it though? Take your player out the world and make your base and dinos indestructible? Anyway I'm back from Australia on Sunday so should be on if I'm not too jet lagged , need to start a new character on a ph server though.
Went on and had a good laugh last night, got friendly with a guy who had a hit out on him in the server, so the two that kept killing him didn't know I was his mate, managed to get in their tribe gain their trust and then I let the door open and we killed the 2 of them as they screamed down the mic, must have been about 12 and they were honestly nearly crying
They then went and got back up and we ended up being chased all over the server by a robot t-Rex
This game really is excellent

We should arrange a night were everyone gets on server 385?
I'm not free Tuesday but should be good any other night.
I gather you guys are on PvP server.I'm not free Tuesday but should be good any other night.
So is that EU PvP 385? or NA PvP 385?
Edit to add:
If you only watch one Ark clip...watch this one.

385 is NA PvP. The original thinking was that by joining an NA server it'd be free at peak EU times but in reality it's still pretty full most of the time.
I went on for a bit on Friday night and tamed a Spino.... which took about 3 hours on PvP with plenty of prime meat.
We also found out how practical the Beelzebufo (giant frog) are. Licking the insects instantly makes cementing paste.
Also, how funny is the way you ride a Gigantopithecus? Especially if you equip it with a minors helmet.
Has anyone found a procoptodon yet? official server or offline, I'm yet to see one.
how are you levelling up so quickly? I usually struggle to get to level 10 when I join a server, I do usually play solo online though.I went on for a bit on Friday night and tamed a Spino.... which took about 3 hours on PvP with plenty of prime meat.

As gav has said na 106 it's pretty empty during the day but filled up around 10 o'clock.
From the Ingame chat the easy spawns are the usual war zone.
We're at west 2 and keep getting attacked by a tribe of 2. Although they will be easily handled once we level up ,they don't have any dinos yet.
Apart from them the rest of the place is pretty peaceful.
What a difference it makes playing with a team mate, we will own the place if we manage 5 or 6 players on regularly
Hope everyone can make it online Wednesday go for 6pm? Those who haven't got me on your friends list add: dalzo

whose cage is it?
Someone called royalty , it didn't show up if he was in a tribe so might just be someone looking to grief rather than a tribe trying to start a war

....Or accept it and focus on lvl'ing up until you can use metal foundations/walls/ceilings/spikes/plant species X etc etc to keep stuff locked down properly
Wherever you build you are going to get raided.
Yup pretty much the name of the game, hopefully we can get some better defences up and a possibly a better location,there was no low level noobs that kill on sight there but obviously we weren't welcome by the higher level people in the areaWherever you build you are going to get raided.

a raft might be the way to go. You can still get raided but it makes it a bit tougher to find, when you go off you can just sail to the edge of the sea and park up.
I was thinking that too, we can build on it then just sail out at night, stops anyone without a water mount getting to us.Or even build a main base with our gear and that in it, plus a "sleeper raft" with minimal tools and stuff to give us a head start if the main base is destroyed that we can sleep in overnight.
The possibilities are endless in this game it's great!

The silence is deafening! it looks like this comment went down like a lead balloon, it wasn't intended as an insult.
I was on server 106 for a while looking (and failing to locate) for you guys, I came across a few people, spoke with most of them on game chat without any incidents, they were friendly enough, like many just suspicious/defensive of anyone approaching them.
Anyway
I thought it was a good suggestion as judging by the comments you guys seem to keep running into "toxic" people and not liking it very much on every server you try.....Perhaps PvE would be more enjoyable?!

No offence taken bud,probably looks like we're having a worse time than we actually are when we write on the forums, it's good fun
Pve is boring imo, I enjoy fighting people on it, I do think we've been choosing servers wrongly though, going for quiet American servers which become active when we're sleeping, making us an easy target, an EU server which is heaving is harder to get into but way more fun

I think Dalzo is saying that he didn't like being knocked out and put in a cage, but if he had one unlocked he'd be doing it to others.
I'm a free spirit what can I say 
you do know me to well though! Damn right , how did you guys get on last night? Had football so couldn't play,have we been murdered and pillaged?Gassing Station | Video Games | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
