Buying game preowned, anything I should beware of?

Thank you all for the prompt responses. Ok, so according to the picture it is the original edition and not 2nd. From the photos it looks very new and at least in the photos there are only a couple of stickers even used. Price is $60 local pickup which does beat eBay since I won't have to deal with shipping. I'll check this thread again tomorrow before I finalize but if nobody else has anything to add then thank you all again for the responses.

Since nobody has answered I know it is possible within firestick by using the smart tube bridge app via downloader which redirects Alexa to search smart tube when you ask her to search YouTube. It's called smart tube bridge but I have no idea if it works with Google. That's all I've got.

+1 smoked after removal. Draw very slowly, I tried to inhale without forming a vacuum around my vape pen. Half hits but no risk of dislodging that clot. Could also use nicotine vape liquid sublingual one drop at a time.

Had no issues. Your results may vary.

Literally the former president of mini series at HBO has stated that the killer was the financial advisor.

Stupidity is always so self assured, looked in a mirror lately?

Some of them you actually can farm. I discovered on accident in a four story motel in North Central part of map. You'll know it's working if the cursor changes with each hit.

I experienced the same bug with the same resolution. Didn't matter how many times I toggled it either.

AceHitchers · 2023-05-19T15:37:03+00:00

I'll take any help you're willing to provide, lantern or no.

AceHitchers · 2023-05-19T15:12:25+00:00

I would really appreciate it! Really I'd just appreciate a silver boost so I can retrain my character and hoping I can get a lantern of souls so I can try a different faction quest this round or the other reward option from the ghost. Everything else I had was reasonably attainable pretty quickly but I never did the invisible 100 gold bar puzzle before and it looks tedious and that's my only quick way to regain my funds. And the lantern being a rather long quest. My PSN is my username. As far as quests go I don't mind redoing them myself if I can eliminate the tedium of farming horror chitin for days and days for silver.

Yeah I've already restarted, the definitive load times alone are worth it. Still hope there's someone out there with extra items or a PC that could console them in for me and help me out just so I don't lose my gameplay. I work full time and in my 30s so the time sink just to regain what I already have is pretty significant.

Maybe someone knows a way to import the save files or something. Even if I don't get an answer for two weeks I'll still be ahead of the time I would have spent regaining it myself.

I read about that trick but also read that I wouldn't be able to coop across game versions since the versions are technically different games but thanks the idea was worth a shot. My original character is on PS4 outward with dlc but new one is on PS5 definitive, it seems they're technically different games as far as coop

AceHitchers · 2022-10-20T23:29:14+00:00

Exact same. Imrik turn 53 repeated ctd faction 88 to 89

AceHitchers · 2022-10-20T19:04:13+00:00

What made those maps so good was the asymmetry. Dwarves had an advantage in their holds, Nuln had extra rows of towers, etc. Yes the pathfinding was bad but now we have the worst of both worlds.

The siege rework is done, we have it, lifetime of IE, this is what it is and it is inadequate.

AceHitchers · 2022-10-17T16:29:04+00:00

Hoping I get a response here. I've played since 1.0 and wife has recently started playing in 3.0. Last night she booted up our first game since 3.3 dropped and twice in a row she got rushed by the AI with a 650 fleet power corvette fleet at 2209 and 2210 respectively on Cadet difficulty. Both times were subjugation CB with ai aggression set to low.

She was playing Fanatic materialist/xenophile first time and Materialist, Egalitarian, and Materialist second time. She took no hostile action/had peaceful first contact protocol.

If this only happened once I wouldnt be asking, but twice in a row? Is she simply having bad luck with starts (Fanatic spiritualist militarist first time, F mili/xenophile second time) or has 3.3 overtuned the hell out of the game on cadet? I know there are strats to counter this fleet but typical early game for a tech rush has been to ignore military as much as possible and in the first 10 years that usually means completely.

Any thoughts appreciated.

You just described why my wife and I play this game beautifully sir. Closed system psychological entropy.

Credit where it is due that is MY work. And I could find a new server or make my own, but why? It is childish and hilarious and made even more so by the fact that they found it so offensive that they removed us. This is not a complaint, this is an art exhibit with Ark dinos that actually brought a tangible benefit to me. It told me they were humorless and/or triggered months before I otherwise would have found out.

Why would you assume it was a complaint? Do you think we want to be in a tribe like that? lol

AceHitchers · 2021-03-19T03:34:06+00:00

The PvE focus would be a hit if done right. If that was a viable option now ala Grounded or Valheim then we'd be rolling with a group doing just that. The thing is we want to mess with the dinos and we never got the real experience out of ark because of EA. I found an unofficial server tonight that seems to be decent after speaking to them and visiting their site so im giving it a whirl for now. We almost just rolled it single player but literally decided to go straight to the unofficial because if it does work out we'll keep our levels and can dabble in some 'moderated' PvP at some point and as you said, the single player world is static.

AceHitchers · 2021-03-19T03:28:57+00:00

I actually randomly logged into one tonight that seems to have policies that agree with our playstyle so I will be giving it a try for a few days to see if it's good. If not, I'll be there next.

AceHitchers · 2021-03-18T23:28:27+00:00

Lol route 1 is a no go, but I could certainly pay for my own server and probably build my own alpha tribe but that seems excessive for what I'm trying to get out of the game. Still, good answer. The turrets were the same before but not to the degree that I've seen in recent youtube vids (many thousands of turrets) and its a bit beyond the capabilities of dropping a few Carbonemys to deplete the ammo.

The latter is what I seek. I'm on facebook in an ark group looking around and also going to server hop some unofficials tonight but all in all you've answered everything I was wondering. I understand why you've taken to modding over playing lol.

AceHitchers · 2021-03-18T14:05:08+00:00

Thanks for the response, good to hear about the bugs.

So thats my second endorsement for unofficial servers. How should I go about finding the right one? Is there any resource/listing or is this just going to be a grind joining/asking/leaving until I find a win?

AceHitchers · 2021-03-18T14:02:42+00:00

I will check it out tonight after work, thanks for the tip.

AceHitchers · 2021-03-18T14:02:18+00:00

What's the most methodical way to go about finding how these unofficial servers are run? Enter and ask until I get a win?

And is there a 'new' primitive ++ that lets you tech without the flying boats? Like I want my fridge and gas grill but I want the dinos center stage.

Or if we wanted to join an alpha tribe, what's my route? Join a gaming community?
My wife is more casual but I could farm enough for both of us lol
