So the game has crashed twice on me, the first time I think Sigma dragged me back, and the second time I was still in the compound. Sigma doesn't appear to be on right now -possibly having his own issues- so even though I wasn't on long at all that's going to be it for me tonight.

While I was on though, I mentioned to Sigma I had made a map for us, which he was quite enthusiastic about, so here it is.

Locations are only rough/approximate. The base in particular is probably a touch too far south, but the compound is kind-of big anyway, so close enough.

Today, I'm going to be takin' these four fine folks into the biggest, meanest dungeon in the Forgotten Realms, and I don't know if they're gonna survive.
...But I'm cool with that.

@DF: Yeah, I dragged you in and brought Phobos in the first time, but right when you got up I blue screened which is why I wasn't on for a while. And the map looks amazing, now I can be more specific where the Spinosaurus/Rex happens to be next time since I know which part of the surroundings is North :P :lol:

@GD: It's definitely a fun game. As Clocky said playing on PvP servers does have a lot of risks, but it can be really fun, plus there's PvE if you don't want to lose dinosaurs or buildings. One of the major downsides is it is terribly optimized atm, though it had gotten better, it's still pretty bad.

@Everyone: Also say hello to our newest additions: Shelley and Sheila

Also, I've been destroying campfires by Thus He Spoke in the canyon. After reading some of the chat, apparentally they're a pretty large tribe stationed in the north somewhere, no word on how hostile they are. So for now be wary until we can get more information.

I also worked on the wall some, only around half a side needs to be done so maybe that'll keep the Rexes out for now.

Actually, scratch that, I'm with CW frick this game. I get on for 1 second, 2 ptera riders come down. Kill me, I respawn, grab a bow, and they kill me inside of our room. Turns out having a gaping hole in our roof is a pretty poor decision. THey killed me, you guys, destroyed our bed, and I can only assume killed everything else. Have fun. *Rages like a 12 year old*

My rage did seem to be preemptive. They didn't seem to kill any of our dinos, and only killed me and Sig (For some reason DF was spared lol) and only looted what I had on my body, which did unfortunately include the 100 narcotics and our tranq arrows, as I was taming a carno at the time.. But I did get the name of my killer. ChuplaA or something like that. Man, he sure rustled my jimmies.

Or you could just play PvEx, where that kind of stuff pretty much never happens, at least not once you have a wood base or above. :P

@GD: It's a fun game, but has two flaws that go severely against it. In single player/offline, while the game is playable, you're basically trying to play a game designed to be played as a group. In multiplayer you've got the freaking "persistent gaming" mechanic which is quite truly what screws up the game as much as the rear-end people you have to put up with. If you could log off without worry of some **** or dino coming in while you're gone and wrecking everything, to be able to just pick up the game right where you left off before, the game would be a hundred times better.

So I give it a mixed review. Good game, good concept, but a couple points of very, very poor execution. The game is still in early access so there's hope they might fix the problems, but considering what those problems are I rather doubt it.


@DMs' Rage: Yeah... I've actually been meaning to try and do something about that hole (something that could be easily removed when we go to expand, of course) but I kept getting sidetracked with wall-building and dragon-slaying.

I actually read in the recent newsletter that they plan to add some mechanic to PvE where tribes can (presumably at a mutual agreement, otherwise it would make no sense) declare war with each other. I've kind of been thinking, if our base gets seriously wrecked, all the dinos killed, that kind of BS, maybe we should just try a PvE server next time. There really wouldn't be any reason not to.

I don't expect you'll be on before me to answer this, but did you rebuild our bed?

Okay, so I just slipped on for a short bit to do some hunting and work on the (now finished) wall. I gather something must have gotten into the compound, though? Both of the Female Raptors were missing, but everyone else looked to be okay.

I also picked up a few bits of information off of the chat. FANTASTICS (the hut from the other day) is apparently a tribe, no idea where or how big, not really worried about them ATM. The Blitz Mk4 guy is leader of a tribe called Aura, which is apparently allied with Thus He Spoke. There was also a Thus He Spoke thatch foundation (but nothing else) just outside our walls. Not sure what to think about them, but I'm kind of inclined to say we should just outright approach them in the chat. We have a precedent for them forming alliances, so we might as well take a shot and see if we can come to some agreement/peace treaty. If we just keep going as things are without talking to them, odds are the outcome won't favor us. So really, what have we got to lose?

I'm not sure if I'll be playing much tonight, I've got some other stuff to do and honestly I need some manner of a break from ARK, even if it's only a short one. My request would be that you guys try to start putting up spike walls around the outside of the wall (speaking of which, I got rid of the two near the house that weren't really doing anything so they didn't aggro the Bronto wandering around), and also, if you can, try to tame us a couple replacement female raptors. Really need to get that Mate Boost back into effect. ;)

Our server is currently 431. All you have to do is find the tribe, then either df or Sig will let you in, as I dont believe I have admin priviliges.

I'll have to double check when I'm on this afternoon, but I'm sure I gave you Admin status too. Maybe I missed it, though.
