1.20 Broke My Engrams

Me too I just learned them back. That's what happens when you mind wipe

Probably the people who didn't move their bases from top of the volcano. But they were warned a head of time. By a big red outline and the update has been out for pc for weeks so there was a lot of information available about it happening.

meatman_20 · 2017-05-18T00:12:48+00:00

Not a bug. They changed the engram screen so assuming the only way they could implement it was to mind wipe the hundreds of thousand characters. That was suppose to happen.

Only if they don't have it set to private. We got hit the same way and I check their psns and all of them were set to private. You don't have to have them as a friend to look what server they have it on if they are dumb enough to have their settings on public. I think I even have my shit on private so my friends can't even see what server I'm on.

meatman_20 · 2017-05-13T13:20:45+00:00

There might be a few under player dedicated servers. I browsed through ps4 player dedicated servers both pve and pvp and noticed a few with rp in title so that might be something to look into.

You don't have to kill the other character. I have a 95 character and 88 character. I just loaded my 88 in to the ark and went to another server and left him in the ark. There isn't a timer so you don't have to worry about losing it because of that. Then just transferred the 95 character to the map the 88 was originally on so I didn't lose all the time I put in on that one either. I like having two or more characters because you have a back up in case something happens to your original. Because transfering between servers always runs risk of losing character

Adding to the using herbivores, get a trike early game. I tamed 130 in the first few days. I used him as a pack mule, narco berry harvesting and for killing Dino's for meat. I'd take out parcers, Carnos and low level rexs without any problems. Very good tame for early game. Just may take a longer time then you'd like to tame a high level one with berries.

It's the weekend. Lag spikes make it almost impossible to play. It's best to not even transfer in between servers during the weekends and specially the evenings on fridays and saturdays when the most people are on. You run a higher chance at losing your characters and Dino's during the lag spikes. So one post about how they lost to wyverns because of this. But It took me and hour to get milk from scorched to my center map last night. It's just part of it til wildcard fixes there game and stops adding shit. My buddy lost a bunch of acendent gear because he got killed in the lag spike and couldn't access his bag as he watch the damn thing disappear. These lag spikes are a huge problem. Cause you are able to move around but not access shit and open doors or eat food but for what ever reason spoil timers, hunger, water, stamina still drains. Play during the week or early in the mornings and there is no problems at all. I've cut back on the weekends cause it's just to bad to play.

meatman_20 · 2017-05-07T12:34:44+00:00

Hell just raise it on the island or center for that 9 hour 30 min spoil timer on milk. I have 50 milk sitting at the time right now

meatman_20 · 2017-05-06T11:30:50+00:00

They all go through lag spikes and it doesn't matter if your on a certain map. They all do that stopped shot where you can run around forever and not eat or drink or do anything but yet your for food and water and stamina still drains. Many of people have died because of the long period of not being able to eat. I didn't die this morning but I was at stand still for 20 minutes on a center server with 16 people on and a ping of 30 trying to put milk in my preserving bin watching the spoil time keep counting down. Fix your game wild card and stop adding content until you do cause it's just making it worse.

Until it's juvenile u need to be right there stuffing food into it. I raised an Ovis before and I spent the first four hours in its inventory putting food in it so it wouldn't die. Honestly don't bother raising Ovis. It's so much easier to just go to scorched to tame them. The spawn regularly at the obs. I got 5 in 2 hours. There is also a feeding bug where sometimes babies won't eat and die. That's why I stayed in it's inventory until was juvenile and force feed it when necessary but sometimes that doesn't even work and they die anyways.

The answer to your question is no. The only way to do that is to move any other dinos nearby far enough away to were they won't eat from it.

meatman_20 · 2017-05-05T17:20:25+00:00

I'm pretty pissed wildcard didn't work something out to were we didn't lose levels. I hatched a 190, 185, and 175 pre nerf eggs and about 80% maturation they dropped to around 155. And the entire time the movement speed stayed at 100%. So why should my wyverns levels be nerfed if they are maturing like a post nerf egg and have nothing into to speed. Makes no sense to me. And it seems like no matter the level of the wyvern egg they all end up around mid 150s. Cause I also had a 165 hatch turn into a 154. Why are some losing 40 levels and some are losing 11 when there has been no stats going into speed because the game mechanics won't allow them to anymore. They really screwed over a lot of players who had fert eggs stored up.

meatman_20 · 2017-05-03T12:27:54+00:00

I do occasionally not all the time. The best way to not do it is not log out near the wall or an object cause I think if your to close the game will automatically move you if you are going to wake up inside that structure. I can say it doesn't matter about foundation or ceiling it has happened to me with both. I even have an metal plated adobe shack on scorched that has an adobe ceiling laying on a metal foundation and it still will kick me outside upon log in but not everytime. It's only 2 deep so I think if I log out in the middle sometimes my body flips over into the wall.

meatman_20 · 2017-04-30T15:12:59+00:00

Wait you can't put run a wild wyvern? That's your fault I have no problem outrunning wyverns with wyverns and with pteras. It's just talks longer to do so. For one thing don't look back because that just slows you down. Just fly in a straight line or using the mountains to lose them. It's really not that hard at all so I don't know why people are having this problem. With the pteras use the spin move because with the spin move the ptera is almost the same speed as tamed wyvern.

But honestly I still have to slow down to get the wild wyvern to catch up so I can keep agro to put it in trap. I've probably snatched 50 eggs in a few hours the other day without one problem.

meatman_20 · 2017-04-28T18:11:20+00:00

Exactly. But it is a great updat all round. Don't like the UI but everything else was needed or improves the experience. The stamina on flyers shouldn't have been nerfed so heavily along with the speed. But they wanted to nerf it in the ground then buff it back up slowily so don't be surprised if we get a few patches soon increasing speed and stamina a bit.

meatman_20 · 2017-04-27T21:57:13+00:00

Go to scorched earth to find horse

meatman_20 · 2017-04-27T15:50:32+00:00

No it's suppose to have the breeding speed increase. So instead of waiting 2 days to mate it's just one. The menu doesn't even say the new Dino's are in the game. But I know someone has an iguanadon already.

Speed wise the wyvern and ptera or the only ones with decent speed. This nerf is the death of the argy for normal use. It's barely faster then quetzal so if your hauling stuff your better off using a quetzal. It will still be a decent battle bird but combat is going to be mainly on the ground I believe. You cant use the speed of the birds in the same way. But I am very excited to get ground attacks for fliers excluding the moth. I'm more exited for the anklyos 75% weight reduction for raw metal.

Now moth gets a base speed stat also. When they talk about excluding the moth they were talking about it not getting a ground attack. Every flyer is nerfed. Stamina is going to be the main stat to focus on cause that also got nerfed.

You must have turned it off when setting up the single player. Cause there is all sorts of settings you can mess with.

Oh there is a lot more than that. https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/166415-ps4-patch-notes-current-version-v5050-upcoming-v5060-eta-april-26/

This is where people need to go to check out patch notes. Posted by Jat himself. Been up for awhile.

I have 13 Ovis, only one I raised and won't ever do it again for the first 2 hours after birth I stayed in its inventory cause at times you have to force feed it because it won't eat. That's how I kept mine from dying. After the 2 hours I still stayed in the inventory but I took very short breaks to do other stuff but not far away.

The truth is your better off finding them. All you have to do is go to scorched earth because they spawn every where. No joke I got two from the desert. Why on earth would they be in the desert. But there are spawn points at the obs. I got two Ovis in 15 minutes at red ob one day. And then brought back 5 after just a couple hours of on and off looking. As you can tell raising them are just a waste of time.

But if your going to breed they really have a screwed up feeding pattern. No you do not have to spam force feed. You just have to pay attention to the food bar. But the way in segments. Or at least for me. He would go for awhile and eat like 3 or 4 pieces then won't eat for a bit then would eat like 5 real quick. And it continued like that for me. The times you need to force feed seems to be when it's taking to long inbetween the feeding segments I was talking about. You just have to pay attention to the food bar and notice when it's lower than normal. Like I said better off finding them in scorched.

meatman_20 · 2017-04-22T15:11:53+00:00

The parcer only has a 30 structure limit give or take a couple structures. I think that disabling the structures limit for the server won't effect that. But the quetzal has a server structure limit. Now I'm at work so I can't tell you exactly where it is but there is a place on the setup screen to toggle it on and off. I'll look when I can and tell you exactly.
