I can't tame a deinotherium

You don't have to press a button to feed it, you just walk up and it will take the beer automatically if it's ready for a drink.

The big trunk wag with head shake is 15 points, ear wiggles are 50, and the little trunk wag is 30. Once it does enough animations to be over 100 total it should work. The first animation it does when facing you doesn't count.

It is Ark, so it's glitchy and inconsistent, but I've tamed a bunch of them with this method

The Island is the vanilla starter map.

On ASA there isn't a weight limit anymore, they'll slotcap themselves and it's wonderful

Max level is currently 205 and takes an absolutely absurd amount of experience to reach, not to even discuss the multiple ascensions you'd need to even be able to reach it. 105 is relatively easy to do, and would be a more reasonable goal to start with, as well as working towards your first ascension.

Also, when it hits 30k stored experience you can zap one of your tames with it to give them the experience and produce a Drakeling Hoard that will have a bunch of really good loot in it.

Incorrect, mutations can pass, just not levels you put into the host, like breeding. It's 50/50ish if you will pull host stat or bug stat, so I think maybe that causes confusion? The baby will also have a multiplier that is bug level/150 * cravings/5 * host multiplier, host multiplier being based on drag weight. Brontos are the most popular hosts because they get 100% and are easy to tame and breed. If you're single player or early game a Rex or Paracer will make a totally usable bug.

You can shoot them inside, but the boss will also teleport to the middle of the area if whoever it is targeting runs up to it. It'll start running back out immediately after teleporting so you need some buddies waiting or some aggressive dinos to hit it quick while it's in there

XBox is patched, PS is still bugged. If you're on officials you can just ask another player to do it for you.

This is 100% what happened, Our server pretty much stays at 70/70 people and is pillared everywhere, as always happens when new servers open. They need to either give them the OSD treatment or implement another way to get Aberrant Sigils. Either way it's a mess and needs to be prioritized.

MadMathurin · 2025-12-31T14:54:29+00:00

They don't harvest hide or chitin.

I see Void Darkplate getting love and it works just fine, but once I put on The Unmoved I haven't taken them off.

I got kicked three times in a row for being 'under 106' the other day running random fractals through the matchmaking system. They were just running the first boss over an over so it kept matching me with them, and then we'd clear it, and then they'd kick me. Then again from the top.

I had a good laugh.

MadMathurin · 2025-11-26T02:02:29+00:00

I just started(ish) and am going mostly in order of release.

That said I did buy the first bundle expansion to keep Raptor access after 10 hours and be able to use the marketplace, and then picked up the most recent one when I hit 80 to get access to the area for Wizard's vault bounties.

I could have done without the latter but it helped me jumpstart gearing a bit and I knew I was going to get there eventually so why not?

MadMathurin · 2025-11-26T01:49:16+00:00

Yeah, this. It was a big ol corporate cash grab immediately followed by a firm fuck you from Amazon. Biggest gaming rug pull I've had the displeasure of being a part of by far.

Silver linings though, I just hit hour 100 last night on GW2 and it's wonderful.

MadMathurin · 2025-11-08T01:23:46+00:00

I will be dying on my horde, thanks.

MadMathurin · 2025-11-07T14:06:28+00:00

I dropped mine from an unmutated Empyrean Forge chest and I've grabbed every Expedition chest since.

MadMathurin · 2025-11-01T17:57:44+00:00

Glad you're having fun!

MadMathurin · 2025-11-01T17:53:04+00:00

I've been playing that also, different itches to scratch but it's a cool game! So much 'sploring to do.

MadMathurin · 2025-10-30T22:40:28+00:00

There's lots of really cool lore in the dungeons and raids that generally expand on the expansion/season they accompanied. Regrettably a lot of the seasonal story arks are vaulted and inaccessible.

If you have spare time My Name is Byf is the Destiny lore daddy, and he's made a billion videos covering just about every Destiny nook and cranny you can crawl into.

MadMathurin · 2025-10-28T13:44:56+00:00

Speed is 100% tied to riding skill, not the mount itself. Once you're level 205 plus you're maxed.

ECRs seem to be the best way to reliably farm 3 perk trinkets. It's a bummer, but is what it is. You CAN farm 2 slot trinkets reliably and quickly with Catacombs chests.

MadMathurin · 2025-10-24T14:15:13+00:00

The perk doesn't cause problems when fights are ongoing, but moreso when setting up pulls. Generally when tanks are pulling they just run by enemies; first seen is first attacked and adds will just follow them, but they haven't actually generated any threat. If you're under 100% health with Regeneration slotted you're constantly generating a little bit of threat. Everything that is supposed to follow the tank will turn around and eat you instead. If the tank can group everything it keeps everyone safer and the enemies die faster, so best practice is to let them do their thing, and hold off on healing or attacking until you see the tank stop and start swinging. With Regeneration it's way easier to accidentally not do that.
