ARK Looneybin Server Thread

well when all u see if lvl 90 dinos and ur solo and it will take 2 days to tame and yes tamming needs to be reduce im not saying that its not fair im saying u push ppl away from the server like that some ppl like being in tribe some like Badwolf dont is not fair to those solo that they have to tame a dino for 10 - 15hours when a tribe can take turns doing it

 

plus the plant eater dinos take forever at lvl 70+ because there no way to increase tamming because prime berries dont work

 

Well I totaly Disagree with this Moffdawwwg you think its fun spending 10 hours to Tame a level 80 Ankly And then see it get kild by a level 3 rex ? Please Explain =) Or Taming a level 60+ bird and seing it destroyed by 1 rex in less then 30 seconds come on we Neeed Stronger dino's Arnt we allowd to defend or Self Plus your Telling every " if you have a Job Dont play on this server it takes 10 hours for 1 dino.. " You want to Increase the Population on the Server Then Please lisen to the Players That actualy Play on the server =)

 

Tame dinosaurs on your days off. Easy fix. Kappa

 

There are several points I have to disagree with.
1) The only dino's you really need to tame at max level are carnivores. Wrong. Herbivores such as Mammoth's and Bronto's as well as Stego's to a degree are amazing at higher levels due to higher base stats. A level 81 Mammoth that took roughly 6+ hours to tame is a valuable asset that any tribe needs because it gathers wood and berries at an amazing rate with better stats in Stamina, Melee Damage as well as Carry weight. However because of Prime Berries not being in effect it's not like Carnivores where you can gather prime meat to speed up the process. And yes levels do matter. A max level 42 trike who was tamed at level 5 will not have have the same stats of a trike who is level 88 and was tamed at level 55. In fact higher level stats often times increases speed times of gathering resources like berries and wood.

2)What about people who choose to play solo?
Yes, In a tribe you can probably split up the work in shifts but many people don't like letting others tame in their place if they had to leave out of some situation out of their control, and often there are tribes with members who may not be able to commit so many hours. (For example a Rex a fellow tribemate and I decided to tame (@15) roughly took 4 hours but my tribemate had to leave after the first hour due to personal affairs leaving me to tame the rest of the 3). For me it was no problem but had he been a solo player its disheartening to leave a tame you dont know how long it would take for something in real life that takes more priority and having to waste in game resources halfway.

3) Reducing taming time will give everyone dinos IS an asset when the server itself is at a harder difficulty. My example would be using a level 15 Megalodon that took roughly an hour to tame, but being killed by a wild level 81 Megalodon in a mere 15 minutes after going into open waters. It's heartwrenching to watch it happens but it happens. However when you apply the same knowledge to taming the said Megalodon that is level 81 for 6 hours, you're going to take that hit much harder if it happens to die. While many say that that is the fruit of waiting so many hours of getting a high level dino, the fact that this game is EA means that there are several factors that go into your dinosaur dying.(Rng, Glitches, Drowning, Killed by disconnection) etc. Therefore, sometimes people dont want to let their high level dinos out for fear of getting it killed. Raising the taming speed buffers that hit so that you realize a simple 6 hours tame is now maybe 2 or 3 hours (WHICH is still a considerably long time) and losing that dino doesnt make you want to quit the entire server itself.

4) The main point im arguing is that we are not asking for a 5x taming rate and expecting to tame every dino in an hour, but we are asking for a little consideration in that there are people who cannot commit several hours to JUST taming. 3x taming rate I personally think is a little bit much but i wouldnt mind 2.5x taming rate. I myself work on certain days from 8am to 5pm, and when i come on Ark that night i dont expect to tame for 4-5+ hours for that high level dino that I really wanted that I know will actually survive against some of the tougher wild dinosaurs like level 50+ rex's and spino's lurking the center of the map. And i speak from experience in which taming a Megalodon till 6am for several hours isn't something I constitute as "fun" especially if you have to pull an allnighter because not all your tribemembers can help. Yes you argue that maybe a lower level one would suffice, but not when you keep losing lower level sharks to the wild, making you want to catch one that counts or even simply losing your high level pteradon that can fly across half the map without landing because you accidently pressed E.

 

@Moffdawwwg First of All i'm Not lying about the Taming times I cant help it that your playing on server with 5time's reduced Taming time But In The Loonie Bin Server it takes 10 hours To tame a level 81 Anky
And Second I tought this was a comunity server I know Your a moderator and All But still We are allowd to Express our opinion
Instead of saying I'm Lying Why don't you try Taming a Dino on the Loonie bin server
O Wait you don't Play the loonie bin Server So i'm Sorry You don't know how it is on there So please Lisen to the Comunity
Or Let Lowco make the Call its Lowco's Server after all =)

P.S i'm Gonna stop Respond Till Lowco Dus Since we are not allowd to Flame !

 

@Moffdawwwg There are no prime berrys so we cant Alrdy look it up Its the taming time that's what it is !

 

Moffdawwg since u left lowco raise the difficulty of pve on the server its hard to find low lvl dinos it dose take 10hours took me almost 10 hours to tame a lvl 70+ mammoth and prime berries dont work its bugged

 

Well if Lowco decided to make it harder, it has been for a reason to give you guys a challenge, right? So that you can focus more on playing together instead on pvp-ing and griefing. If the taming times get lowered again I assume that those will become a problem again.

My suggestions:

- If a challenge is to hard for you guys I would suggest to use the LFG thread and really plan the taming of the dinos you desire. So you can make sure that everyone has the right items, you could work in shifts to lower you personal taming time and so on
- If you experience anything that seems to be a bug, please make sure to post screenshots of them so that everyone can see what you guys are talking about, additional information like the version of the game could help too
- If your problems are really due to a bug make also sure to report them / look them up in the developers forums. The game is still alpha as far as I know and we cant change stuff about that.

 

The pvp-ing and griefing stopped because the server got changed to pve where it is impossible to do, not because the wild dinos were made stronger.

Edited: oops didn't realize the quote didn't close correctly.

 

also "The pvp-ing and griefing stopped because the server got changed to pve where it is impossible to do, not because the wild dinos were made stronger."

Tux please don't post your own statment in the quote of my post. Well my bad then. But still it is supposed to be a challenge to give you guys something to prepare for and work to.

 

Sitting around taming something is not challenging. At all. The challenging part is knocking it unconcious without killing it. Taming is a Time Sink, that's all there is to it, and anything more than 3 hours is a waste of time. So things that take more than that is a waste, and having stuff reach the 6+ hour mark is actually *unhealthy* for you to be sitting behind the computer constantly for. People do have lives other than video games, and expecting people to give them up just so they can tame a high level dino is a little much.

Personally, I'd just have the level cap for tamed dino's be changed instead. So instead of it being Base Level + 34 (or whatever it is these days), it's a hard cap of 100 or 65 or 85 or whatever. But that would be a suggestion for the Developers, since I don't think that's an option in the server settings.

 

LEt me get this straight everyone that actually plays on this server wants tamming reduce they arent asking for a x5 or x10 where takes 10mins to tame a dino we all asking if for like a x2 or x3 so we can actually tame these high lvl dinos in a reasonable time frame i honestly dont think thats too much to ask i liKe the dinos being hard to take down but to spend 10hours tamming a lvl 90 trex or bronto is ridiculous... and if u think thats ok then play on the server again and lets see if another trex or saber or raptor comes and eats ur dino because u went to go do something else.... happens all the time

 

We are aware of the problem now. As long as no further decision has been made by Lowco we just ask you to be patient and enjoy the game as it is peacefully with eachother. She has the last call in this matter but also has a lot other stuff to do besides ARK and just can't be around the whole time.

 

@Moffdawwwg You need one to defend your self .

@Moffdawwwg I like to talk to you in private instead on the forum
