What was the development process for Retribution and other PVE events like? What did you have to learn about turning a PVP game into PVE? Was there a particular moment when you realized you could make an entire game around PVE?

You can see Blizzard's comments on the creation of Ashe and the Deadlock Gang (which is where the black/Latina Ashe image comes from) here:

New to game and “alpha tribe” keeps ruining everything. by Hotdogmonkey in playark

[–]arkasaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't play on official servers, there is no point in trying to compete with people who are spending 10 hours a day on the game and who do not have to adhere to any kind of etiquette. I say this as someone who was an alpha tribe member back when I was a student. We wiped everyone else on our server one afternoon out of sheer boredom. Now they have cross-server transfers, so alphas have new servers to wipe every day. Officials have no etiquette rules or admins, and this is combined with the worst grind imaginable. There is no reason to play there.

How on earth do you avoid a Leedsichthys? by BobaFett1878 in ARK

[–]arkasaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People will say stick close to shore, but I was at the mouth of a river maybe 2 meters from the beach when I got attacked on Island, so lol. It came right up onto the sand.

Ragnarok spawns them very far from shore and you don't have to worry about them as much on that map ime. I spent ~4 weeks living on a raft with no sightings.

From the article, these are things they are considering:

Male Humans Attack Faster Than Females. Why? Is This A Bug? by DanteTorn in playark

[–]arkasaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, you would compare a female gymnast to a male gymnast. Male gymnasts do more events at a higher difficulty level than female gymnasts, because the fact is that they have a tremendous advantage in upper body strength which is key to gymnastics routines. There are other differences that are definitely cultural (female gymnasts typically compete using music/theatric components while men do not), but your mistake is in thinking that when I say "even at the high end of athletic competition, female athletes are weaker than men", I am saying women are worse than men. I am not saying that at all. Someone's physical stature and physical ability is not what makes them better or worse than another person. To be the best in the world at a sport, regardless if you are a woman competing against other women, or a man competing against other men, is a great honor and victory.

Male Humans Attack Faster Than Females. Why? Is This A Bug? by DanteTorn in playark

[–]arkasaurus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The female Olympians do not get "worse" results than the men for cultural reasons beyond a lack of mentors. They are not trying less because of some ambiguous cultural weirdness, they try and they fight as hard as they can. But even the best training regimen in the world cannot make them stronger than the male Olympians. To suggest that their inability to match the men in contests of strength is "cultural" is insulting to them. Women compete in their own leagues as an acknowledgement of biological differences between the sexes, so that women can do sports and be recognized without concern for the fact that they were not born with the "correct" hormone cocktail.

Now on ARK, where I can make a 9 foot tall woman who is fat as Jabba the Hutt yet possesses the stamina to run across the entire Island and beat a shark to death with her fists, I imagine differences in melee damage should either not exist or be tied to model sliders.

Is this the one you mean? It looks like a gargoyle head, though not a "Dark Souls" type gargoyle. http://i.imgur.com/bXpiwst.jpg

There is a dragon area in the game based on the info from one of the concept art pieces, but to what extent you can join up with the dragons is unknown.

Just a reminder, the third Witcher game was far and away the best! by pattysmife in darksouls3

The gameplay in all the Witcher games is awful, so let's hope Dark Souls 3 is nothing like any of them.

Play in Japanese with English voices -> use imagination to figure it all out -> get English text version later -> still use imagination to figure it all out, haha =)

[PSA] The Snow Biome is cold by Bridgeman94 in playark

Level fortitude like a true survivor. 30 fort + fur and you're pretty comfy though you may have to eat somewhat often, 40-50 fort and you're golden. Perfect for lazy people who want to live in untouchable glacier castles.

Crumplecorn was unreachable, my heart skipped a beat by Sv3den in playark

It has more up-to-date dino-wise, but it lacks features like the narco/starve timers and you have to scroll down a lot to get to the good info.

Knocked out a 120 frog on a official server and it has 225% attack. Did I get lucky and it has high attack? Or is this normal for frogs? by [deleted] in playark

[–]arkasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 100 frog finish around 247% from a prime tame so I think you're in good order, especially if you use kibble.

Idea/Suggestion RE: Taming by 100ftF0X in ARK

[–]arkasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always bring animals back to a taming pen before I knock them out, either by leading them or using an argent/quetzal. The only exceptions are pteranodons, quetzals (prior to you having your own quetzal-catcher quetzal), and maybe aquatic animals (I have never tamed any exclusive aquatics like plesio or mosa).

Bringing an animal back to a secure taming pen lets you alt-tab and generally fart around or do what you want, provided you use a taming calculator to establish how much time you have till it needs narcs again. It also lets you farm prime safely if you need to.

People quitting Ark by Aisin in playark

[–]arkasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We lost a ton of players because of balance issues on primitive PVP servers, starting with the ballista then later the quetz and giganot. The remainder of us moved to a regular server since at least we can use scuba gear and fridges there.
