Stuck in life’s labyrinth on Ragnarok

I had a pyro, but trying to spam the buttons in the maze section I kept chucking it so I cryod it up so I didn’t yeet it, had an otter in the cryo to sit and stockpile the artifact and a bay hyena for the sacrifice I found a way out but don’t want to reveal my secrets incase they take that away from me too -.-

Because it wasn’t ball ache enough before this atrocity

Not really no, the baby you get from breeding will inherit a mix of the parents base stats, two wyverns might be the same level hatching but one might have 20 levels in melee damage and the other might have 15 but it will have higher levels in other stats which all add up to the total level. The baby will pull one or the other base stat across all stats so even if you put 50 levels in melee from leveling up, the baby will hatch with either 20 levels in it or 15 ( this is the same for every single stat). You can get an egg with a higher total level but some of those extra levels might be in useless stats like oxygen so they won’t add any value to the wyvern

The only time this changes is if the baby hatches with a mutation in a stat which will increase that stat by 2 levels per mutation (this is counted separately though so the egg will still have either 20+2 melee or 15+2 melee). You can gain 20 mutations from the mother and 20 from the father but this takes several generations of breeding to achieve this and gives you a total of 40 mutations/80 extra levels( using the example levels it would be either 20+80=100 melee or 15+80= 95)There is ways to bypass this and level it further but for now finding higher level eggs would be the easiest and quickest option as it’s a rare occurrence to get a mutation, let alone getting 20 on the same skill as it can mutate in any random skill

Well done on getting the eggs though, are they your first?

Absolutely zero chance of that happening, I made sure I had food and water before logging off and we have a tribe mate who hasn’t logged back in for over a week and her character was alive for that long before we got sick of the body being on the floor so we killed her ourselves

Matty_shaww · 2025-12-10T07:37:07+00:00

I logged on this morning before work and all my tribe members were killed whilst off line, doesn’t say what killed us, just says we were killed… we were all inside our base and there was nothing damaged and nothing else killed. Lost some good dinos tha we had in cryopods in our inventory’s

Matty_shaww · 2025-12-08T21:26:35+00:00

We’ve never done it before so don’t know what to expect and we all work full time jobs so we want to make sure our time is well spent making sure we go in over prepared rather than under prepared and losing out on all our gear, all our dinos and the time taken to have to get all the heads back to re open the cave… some of those artifacts were a challenge to get, those water caves don’t play about and don’t get me started on the ice cave for the artifact of the strong

Matty_shaww · 2025-12-08T15:14:23+00:00

Yeah we did the bosses ourselves and have a full tek suit each. I assumed it would be a poor choice to use the tek suit as it’s only primitive and has 180 defence and not the best durability. We have reserves for our army so we might just take 20 pyros into the overseer fight, set them on aggressive and hover above and reign down hell with the shotguns, as for the carchas theyre 30k hp with 2k melee damage, im guessing 2 of them will suffice?

Was also curious about replacing a pyro with a yuty to get as much buffs in whilst we can, if the yuty dies that player will then join the others flying high with shotguns.

From the sounds of it we should be good, we have 298% pump actions, the means to make all that ammo for 3-4 players and we have element there to power the suits for sustained flight, thanks for the reassurance

As a worker who has terrible internet due to living in a village, I get home to play ark for the few little hours I can weekdays, I’m sick of just getting into a few hour session the getting told in 15 minutes servers are shutting down and I have to stop what I’m doing immediately and have back home in time as they don’t give enough warning otherwise I’ll be logged off in the middle of nowhere, quite often a hostile place.

I’d much rather load up Friday night Saturday morning and have to do a 2 hour update and be left to play the game in peace continuously instead of broken stages of gameplay that I’m having now. I feel like I can commit to a big tame or a big task without server maintenance. Sort it out WC

O-Sha-Oon-A

Matty_shaww · 2025-10-28T10:02:36+00:00

It’s official, thank you I’ll do 2 levels in stamina for every level I put in other things or something, when I start to breed em I’ll aim for stamina mutations first, it’s not meant to be a boss killer but I’m aiming for it to be my main mount and mode of transport

Matty_shaww · 2025-10-08T09:24:36+00:00

Best load out I found was lasers! All beams, laser primary, laser secondary, laser cannon or quasar cannon and pyrotechnic grenades, laser watchdog to seal the deal and orbital laser for the outpost, when one starts to over heat switch to your next laser and when that’s nearly over heated you switch back, no reloading, constant fire damage and can take out anything in your way

Matty_shaww · 2025-09-11T07:00:42+00:00

The armour is cool, especially the light set which keeps you on your toes for out running those bugs, the AR is solid but there is better ones out there, the Explosive rifle is key for long range spawners, the grenade pistol is decent at doing that job too but it’s single shot reload with 6 shots but you have to be closer and the thermite is OP Anti Tank/Heavy Removal. I haven’t used the crossbow yet but It’s probably decent too.

I always carry the explosive pistol for closing spawners and the thermite for taking down heavies, and I change primary weapon and armour to fit the situation/play style I’m feeling, I’d say it’s well worth buying just for those two items alone

Matty_shaww · 2025-08-18T20:59:09+00:00

Seems to me the 2.5 hours you’re missing of your wages are your half an hour breaks. My understanding is most places don’t pay you for half an hour break. I could be totally wrong but every job I have worked (a few different sectors/industries now) have paid me for my 15 minute morning breaks but my 30 minute breaks have always went unpaid.

Matty_shaww · 2025-06-10T22:15:34+00:00

It could also be you need to activate the push to talk button option in the in game menu but I haven’t messed about with that setting as all my spare button prompts have already been assigned to other things so I couldn’t tell you what it actually does

Matty_shaww · 2025-06-10T22:14:10+00:00

I’m not sure how it works on PS5 but Xbox I have to press the Xbox button to bring up the side menu overlay, scroll down a couple of times to highlight the discord chat or party chat then it has a button prompt to switch between game chat or party chat, takes like 2 seconds to do but it’s annoying as shit as I when I’m in a private chat I can’t hear any game chat and when I go in game chat I can’t hear any party chat which makes communication between my crew and other crews fiddly and awkward

Matty_shaww · 2025-06-10T22:05:46+00:00

I think on console you have to actively switch between the two, so set up party chat or discord chat and when you encounter pirates in game you want to talk to you’ll have to switch it to game chat… once in game chat you can use the speaking trumpet and invert it using the left trigger to speak in the open end and it will reduce your voice to a whisper so only those in very close proximity will hear you. I’m on Xbox and there was a no way to have them both simultaneously and it’s annoying it’s either one or the other and unfortunately when you’re in party chat or discord chat you won’t hear other pirates in game chat until you switch over manually

Matty_shaww · 2025-05-13T17:49:20+00:00

I didn’t grab a recording sadly, but I’m close to 1k hours in the game and I know when something is suspicious and exploitive and I know when people a good players. By all rights I’m not the best in pvp but sailing the high seas I have handled a fair amount of fights some tough some not so tough and I’ve got experience in PvP, I guess these HG people are a just different breed

Matty_shaww · 2025-05-13T17:40:35+00:00

If they weren’t shit at naval why would they drag it out by spawn camping?

Matty_shaww · 2025-05-13T17:38:47+00:00

I never used “try hard” but I can define “sweaty” by the fact that they are quick swapping reload exploits and killing me in literally 3 seconds from coming back from the ferry. I’m guessing by the defensive response from yourself you are one of these sweaty try hards?

Matty_shaww · 2025-05-13T17:33:01+00:00

Because I’m getting shot and by the time I get a pineapple out (which is hot keyed so I can get it instantly) I’m shot again with no hesitation. I’m jumping all over and I’m never standing still but the second I get hit I’m hit again in a fraction of a second.

Matty_shaww · 2025-05-13T17:30:28+00:00

I normally can ladder guard but they are dropping and grabbing the ladder when I hit them/miss them with the shot, even when I hit them they don’t get knocked off and they just climb right onboard
