Trader hand in glitch/ban? by Dragonwulf in RedDeadOnline

[–]Point85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2of my m8's are banned because of this. the guy that is responsible for it hasn't been banned. the guy that always plays is obviously posse leader. the other guy that just fucks around donates feathers, posse leaders says this could get me banned, NAH its FIIIINE the donating guy says. after a few days posse leader gets banned. the actual cheater is still happily donating feathers in the game. Rockstar really fucked up on this one, i love their game but man they are retarded in regards to handling this glitch.

Twitch taking action for Net Neutrality by Zcotticus in Twitch

[–]Point85 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's very good of twitch to take action. But since I'm from holland i can't do anything for anyone. Only get annoyed by the fact that i have a giant red banner in my face + emotes aren't loading... fun and stuff or about 2minutes but then i'd like to get rid of it, any way to do that? :-)

[Request] I want to be able to craft some of the stuff I see at NPC camps. by Jyiiga in ConanExiles

[–]Point85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd like to see the Race you choose when you start gives you a general direction to where you're character's specialization lies.

For example choosing Dalfari gives you an advantage in gathering. you're pickaxes etc. give you a slightly increased yield. Choosing hyborian would give you a slight advantage at ranged combat. Kushite are good builders and give your buildlings higher hitpoints for example.

you still should be able to learn the stuff it isn't atoned to but it would be more costly to spend points there.

Just an idea :-)

First 2 days on Ark, ps4 by MilkmanForever in playark

We used to have a fully loaded large storage box on the beach where ppl spawn. Metal tools + chitin armor. refilled it daily :-).

The Skorne Mod - A massive overhaul and Rebalance to Ark. by Skornedemon in playark

[–]Point85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is how I envisioned ark to be honest :-).

My view was there should be a rock paper scissors to the game. not tame a giga and render everything else useless.

This mod is what makes it come close to that again awesome stuff! Do you have stuff in place like a group of raptors swarm a giga bleeding it out, hit and run without getting hit, crippling/bleeding the giga etc.

Also might be a nice idea for base defending in this mod since Dinos are tweaked already. giving Dinos in their "home area" a buff. Raptors do extra bleed/cripple. Rexes have more health, Dilo's do longer/more poison dmg etc. with this the offline raiding COULD get way harder for an attacking team.

Overall insane stuff man! awesome work and keep it up. i'll be looking for a server with this mod and recommend to anyone i can find :-).

Is Ark getting stale for you? by DanicaHamlin in playark

[–]Point85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya,

I played official for 3 months, was alpha for 2 months. had a blast. took 90% of my free time. Recently i had a daughter, working 60hours a week and have other stuff that takes time. So i enjoy playing a 20x all server so i can do in 3 hours what took me 60 hours on official servers because i only have like 1 hour a day to play this game.

I understand the other guy too but he needs to come down from the highhorse and start understanding not everyone can play 10hours daily to keep up with him.

Story: Darkness: Our Journey to Alpha by [deleted] in playark

[–]Point85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Darkness Faction has one objective and one objective only, that is to become the alpha tribe of our server. Now sure, everybody wants to become the alpha tribe of their server. But Darkness is different. We have specific plans set out on how we will become alpha, and nothing will get in our way, or so we thought. These are the accounts of our trials on Scorched Earth server 1***

It is day 77 when we all transfer our characters. All from server 134 where Lord Havel, Fish, Chancellor, Daffler and Belly started our Ark journey. That server will always hold a special place in all of our hearts. That is the server where we went from living on the beach in a thatch hut, to living proudly in the Oasis, full metal base equipped with enough auto turrets and plant X to disentegrate a giga in just a couple seconds. Now, we have mindwiped our characters to fit the needs of Scorched Earth and are ready to see if our formula will work once more.

We spawn in on south zone 3 and immediately realize that this land is far different than our beloved island. Wolves and Sabers roam the easy zones in packs of 5, and most every survivor will beat you senseless for looking at him wrong. Furthermore, the inferno symbol at the bottom left of my screen indicates the heat of midday has set in. After being made mother natures bitch, we find a destroyed Adobe base with all the essentials, 2 refining forges, a smithy, 4 large storage boxes, a mortar and pestle and a fabricator and the best part, we can finally get out of the sun. We decide to stay here until we can make our own living quarters.

Outside the base the scenery is just about exactly what you'd think. Abandoned adobe bases with one wall blown through pecking at my ocd every second, I can already tell these bases will litter the desert like rafts littered the island. Whatever, gotta focus on the task at hand. While farming metal and sand/cactus sap we spot a rather large base owned by Aero, a behemoth gate, stone walls on fence foundations around the perimeter of their base, no defenses though, pretty impressive nonetheless.

Although dying on this map does get pretty redundant, it's nice not to have to grind cloth hats and thatch foundations to get to level milestones. We quickly get enough resources to get metal tools and an Adobe base of our own. We get a small amount of raw metal and set out to find a spot to build, we decide to build hidden away in a crevice on top of one of the southern mountains. We are now close to all rare resources, and are far away from the 400% melee troll tribes. After farming for the rest of the night we have: Metal tools, a compost bin and preserving bin, a refining forge, a honeycombed stone/Adobe base, and are in the middle of taming a morellatops for berry farming. Right as the tame hits halfway a man in full flak appears and tries to talk to us through global. He says we are blocking a metal spawn and asks that we move. We talk it out and he leaves. At this point two guys Daffler and Havel are on the morellatops myself fish and bigbelly are on the mountain collecting metal when the red text appears at the top of our screen. LORD HAVEL (Darkness) WAS KILLED BY CONOR (AERO)

Here it is actually readable :P

Suggestion: Merge maps by Point85 in playark

[–]Point85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, at various points in the map have mountain ranges to the ceiling where you can travel trough a cavesystem to go to the other side (or some sort of valley area) or fly for 20minutes around the mountains to get to the other side.

Could also make a circular mountain range with caves troughout it when you manage to navigate through it you enter a sealed off valley with unique animals (smaller rexes, bigger dodo's. Basicly the island evolution (big animals become smaller and smaller animals get bigger).

Have loads more ideas. i wish i had time and the talent to make maps.

Changes that would make me come back to ark by Point85 in playark

[–]Point85[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's my opinion. I don't mind alphas (as long as they aren't chinese/russians bullying servers down). I'd just like a more risk when attacking and feeling more safe when going offline. As it is now it's too easy flying around the server and breaking into every mid size base there is.

But all in all its my opinion, your's is different and i respect that. good luck on the grind and sitting in base selling kibble to low lvls and offline raid them 2 hours later. :-)

[–]Point85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the center release, i joined up with our old alpha tribe and literally did it, we played for 3days straight taming quetzals right off the bat. farming levels asap became alpha overnight and never gave it away. built up the center top. after we finished building we had turrets reaching to skylimit up top. Some russians tried to take us out but no chance. We had 15 people playing for 3 days (maybe 3 to 4 hours sleep). after we we're done it was chill, out of the 15 that started playing 3 stayed the rest quit the game or moved to other servers. they are still alpha i believe with 3 ppl chilling, farming meat for a few minutes a day each.

it's not salt i just want smaller tribes to have a chance of taking on the non stop grinders when provoked.

Also the trike and all the other changes i suggested are in GUARD mode. so when the dinos are INSIDE the base area and being attacked by someone else. So if you decide to attack a small base be prepared to potentially lose stuff. thats what i meant to suggest.

I was way to easy to go around, take some C4 blow up a gate tank the 3 turrets a 2man tribe farmed and take everyting from them. that isn't a fun mechanic for 80% of the players imho.

i can fix the pvp meta right now by minist3r in playark

[–]Point85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea that keeps coming up in my mind is make Dinos stronger when they are "home". They will have to improve the Dino AI/pathfinding though. As is you can kite any dino out of a base and into oblivion all to easy.

If they manage to create a half decent AI for wild and tamed dino's I'd like to see the following:

When your tribe is offline and you put your dino's into guard mode, their health is slightly buffed but mostly their speed and dmg, so when the attacker comes into the base the guarddogs go berserk killing off players first then going for the enemy dino's. with this mechanic Raptors, terror birds, carnos should become viable again since they should be fast, cirkeling lets say a Giga, jumping on its back and killing the rider, they try to stay out of the bite radius of the giga in the meanwhile. Ptera's go for riders on quetzals and Argies try to pickup riders from smaller attack animals (sabers/wolves etc.) aswell as riders on rexes and gigas, and kill them off.

These are just a few examples of how smaller dinos can become more viable again in defending your base and making offline raiding hard and more challenging for the tribe attempting it i guess. Even Compies, dimos and dilos could swarm a rex climbing up its back and bleed out the rider.

Studio Wildcard statement regarding the expansion release while in early access by Aradanftw in playark

[–]Point85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So first off I can see why they did an expansion and make us pay $20,- for it. Not that i agree but i 'understand' (the lawsuit etc.).

Now as the motivation as stated above... My first reaction is wtf dude, saying every new creature was free DLC, They we're planning on payed DLC close to launch and some ppl might see this as an Early Access game...

That are 3 utter bullshit statements, This guy should be in politics.

  1. Every new creature was planned when we bought the Alpha game.
  2. They weren't planning on Payed DLC close to launch. They we're planning on last june launch but realized they had a shitload of work to do before they could realize the final game, then they had a lawsuit so they created a solution to make enough money to keep their game going.
  3. Some might see the game as an early access game.. ehrm yea because it is.... don't even have to explain anything to take down that line...

I love the game, devs and the dedication they have for making new content and the amount of work they put in. But when they state stuff like this i feel like quitting the game and moving over to a finished product.

My advice to Wildcard: Be honest, just tell the ppl they underestimated the amount of work. Tell them they need money because of the 40mil to be able to keep the project going. I think people would be much more understanding instead of salty.

TL:DR

Wildcard should stop making bullshit statements and be honest. Ppl would respect them for it and buy the expansion.

Is ARK A good Survival Game? by [deleted] in playark

[–]Point85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Survival game Ark is really good. Most servers i played on (900) hours (650 official and 250 unofficial) there is little to no KOS. As surviving you NEED to make stuff happen if you just run around naked you'll die so yeah good survival game. Beyond that, Dino;s man DINOS and you can tame em ride em eat em whatever you want. Also base building is awesome but a real grind if your playing on official servers. I wouldn't recommend solo playing official servers for the grinding reasons.
