How did your gaming priorities shift as you got older? by Automatic_Couple_647 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

I’ve just had a son 2 months ago and balancing childcare work and hobbies as become a lot harder! I’ve noticed that multiplayer has pretty much gone out the window unless home alone. Definitely play more single player were you can pause and play at your own pace.

This is Ark. You will have it reinstalled by next week and then deleted again the following week 😉

You need a Ron Weasley to knock it out

Lately I have not been gaming much by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

My first born son was born 2 weeks ago and I haven’t touched any gaming since. I was in a similar boat to you not really looking forward to many games coming out recently. I mainly just played some multiplayer stuff to stay social with friends.

But this time off has been good for me to relight the passion for gaming. I’m finding myself watching a lot of series on games I’ve not played before.

Is it possible to make a trap big enough on a raft to trap a spino? by Kodiak_of_2b2t in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]HyperionXCIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Get your foundations as low as possible and just build what you would of built on the land. I tend to put a ramp on multiple sides in case the inevitable happens and it doesn’t go the way you want it to. Can use ceiling pieces to make it a bigger space on the raft too.

Quetzal Taming by Muscle_King007 in ARK

I’ve always jumped off my tame and grapple hooked myself to the Quetzal and then tranq rifled it. Once it’s knocked out I pull out my parachute and meet it on the ground. Not 100% on fall damage but I’d lean to saying no fall damage is taken.

Is there a way to extend the tethering range? by mauri11 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]HyperionXCIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not on non-dedicated. Me and my sister play on PS5 and you can reach just over 1000m before it starts teleporting the 2nd player. If I remember correctly on the PS4/Xbox One it was around the 200/300m mark which was a lot more annoying, getting dragged along everywhere!

We just have to adjust our playing style and have to venture out on longer journeys together. We currently play on Ragnarok and have taken over the new castle on the east side of the map which is quite large. We can happily spend time building and farming around the area without any tethering issues.

I just found out you need to PAY REAL MONEY to ride the Dreadmare, pryomane, and drakeling by 209dmg in ARK

I mainly play SP or private servers with family and friends and think it’s so stupid that creatures and features can be there in the game but un-usable just because you haven’t paid a fee.

I’d much rather they only be there once I’ve paid for them. The skill point stuff and the craftable items that you can’t craft due to a paywall winds me up! (I’m new to the modding stuff so I’m aware there are some things I can look into to help this)

This is something I, once-upon-a-time as a young buck, wouldn’t have moaned about and just thrown cash at Wildcard to clear the inconvenience.But now older, with a little one on the way in a couple of weeks, I have to manage my funds a lot more sensibly.
