It is an survival game that is still in alpha. Almost every day there is 1 or 2 updates and they kinda really listen to the players what makes it nice aswell.
For myself i have been playing this game alot now and enjoyed it big time.
You get dumped on an Island with you having now clue on where you are etc. from that point you have to get going and try to survive.
Soon you will find out you can start building a base and get some dino's working for you etc.
I am playing this game with a few friends and a few days ago even Toby joined to have a go at the game.
If you decide to play, try to find a pve only server that is almost empty of players as otherwise no real usefull building space will be avail.
If you really like to play hardcore then try a pvp server (me and the rest of dwi are going there when games launches, or resets)
Below a quick run around the compound we build so you can sort of see a bit of the game.
1 thing about it: There aint no base on the whole server that even comes close to our base, so yeah we are kinda unique with ours.
[video=youtube;oDEaYB8KiJE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDEaYB8KiJE&feature=youtu.be[/video]
and yes we build that club house, as our neighbours arn't really that friendly towards us or any other person on the server so we build that thing next to their base as a thank you:flirty:
Is there a dedicated server we could run up?
Those options should be avail. will look into that later on
I know john (ARMA) has got it and raves about it, in fact he made me buy it.only tried 1st 5 mins, it was like playing the original far cry for the first time..wow and pretty
It is a great game I am enjoying just very busy atm so lack of gaming :(
Sent from my Nexus 5
just bought it.
what server are people on?
I wasted my money (IMHO) on The Forest which while pretty and a nice idea was badly balanced and hasn't improved much. I'm not sure about Dinosaurs though. If we could get a server up or use a low population server then we could maybe do Minecraft on Raptors or something?
i noticed it has a local feature, does that mean we could run our own server?
Local = Lan.
Dedicated were a possibility afaik.
Yes it's possible. I really enjoy this game. A friend of mine bought it yesterday too. And he started his own server on his pc. He played it yesterday together with another friend. So it's not only local.

To come back to Oldbloke's original question:
If he was able to start a server without owning a copy of the game then it's dedicated server. That's what we (dMw) love as it means we can run our own server on our own hardware. Having to own & run a copy of the game on a PC in order to spin up a 'local' server and then have others join it through a lobby or ip system is not the same.
But it seems you can.

There is a dedicated server for this game.

I'm happy to run up a server and make it public (to attract new members). However, as the game is still in development there's always the chance that an update will mean a wipe of the world already created (as per '7 Days 2 Die').
I'm getting a feeling of deja vu all over again! :roflmao:
Thanks OB :thumbsup:
If we did run our own server I'd have a go, if it's going to be a Minecraft like experience with T-Rex instead of Creeper :D
It's not a minecraft experience. It's not a voxel game.
IE lets say you want to mine. You're not going to dig a hole, you're going to hit a resource node like WoW.
Building is also not like other voxel games out there. You have a finite amount of different shapes, and they snap to each other, kind of like Stranded Deep.
This is the one game I have used the new Steam refund policy for. It's very expensive for an early access game and is woefully unoptimized especially considering the graphics aren't up to much anyway.
In my opinion, Rust is a far better game (which also has dedicated server support).

Yes the burden of an alpha game, the game had a few updates which made the game play much smoother though. I think it's very good for an alpha game. I haven't played Rust, so I can't compare it.
@Tealeaf, I actually meant he installed the server on his pc but after reading my message again, I do understand your confusion ;-)

Oops!
Anyway, installing it now so I'd like someone with the game to test it when it's up (I'll post again).
As this is a Steam-based install I would hope that we won't see the usual "can't see it/can't join" issues we've been plagued with of late.
Server's up. It's called 'DeadMenWalking'.
Test if you can please.

Yes but to be fair Rust is in alpha too and development of the new version started the same month as Ark. Anyway, if the performance is improving I'll take another look as I like the idea of "Rust with dinosaurs" (although I'm not a fan of being able to tame them - it just doesn't feel right to me).
On it and it's working as well a official. Just making a small house on the east side

OK. Bought the game and started to learn the ropes. Very much like 7D2D but the server works and appears in the in-game server list :D
If I don't like this I want everyone to have a whip round and give me a refund :)
Server now passworded at the request of Frenzy who was suffering some griefers.
Password available here (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?3363-Server-Password).

Bit annoying, I only logged off an hour ago :(
does anyone know the server IP : PORT?
I think you can join if you use the steam protocol thing. Save us having to wait for a server update when ever it drops from Arks server list.
steam://connect/0.0.0.0:0000
no when its down its down, i have tried loads of ways to get onto the server ( different server on ark) but none of them work or if it does load up it then says cant load the game and kicks to main menu, you will just have to wait for it to be updated
Updating now. Server will be back up shortly.
Cheers guys, anything we can do to ease the server update burden?
Quote from: Jamoe;405723Cheers guys, anything we can do to ease the server update burden?
Yeah. Tell the devs to do a weekly wrap-up instead of all these micro updates :flirty:
yeah thats the only problem with ark is that they love to update it just bit by bit which is good and bad lol
It seems like they can't afford a staging server. But in fairness, we're in a beta.
v222 is finally out, FINALLY no more LONG Halloween nights and DodoRex's and skeletal Nasties!

We've got PENGWINS now! Also Angler fish but lets face it, the Druglords dont go swimming as often as us Southern Beards do!
Looks like a system for controlled pve/pvp has been introduced, it'd be nice to investigate it some time so we know what its capable of, just for sh*ts n Giggles nothing serious!
See you all in game once its updated :-D
And just wanted to say super thanks to whoever created channel sub groups for the two tribes in Ark! So much less confusion and channel hogging :-D

Quote from: Jamoe;406271Looks like another update. If anyone can upgrade Ark that would be appreciated. :)
That's it updated.
Is not an easy game by anyone's standards. But its easier with friends. Anyone online would be willing to try and find you and help you out (Southern tribe anyway - cant speak for the weak northerners ;) ). If you want to make a go of it solo south is easiest.
Plenty of guides. But its worth while if you can suffer the early game.
Thanks whitey btw.

I would suffer alone for a while before accepting help. You miss out on some of the fun working while out how to survive :)
Getting chased round a rock by a Raptor while trying to retrieve your stuff from the previous time he killed you is oddly fun.

Someone able to update the server ;)

I have now got this :D
Grim reporting back in soon, someone found it funny to sort of turn off my tv/internet connection so after almost a week of being pretty bored i can start my project again:devil:
Could someone be so kind to update/restart the server, as at the moment the game is bugged out, when on land the game thinks you are swimming, dino's not moving at all or teleporting all over the place. all kinds of weird stuff going on.

And apparently another update is squeduled for 3:45 AM EST for another big update from 229.1 all the way to 230.0 so it'd be worth waiting for that to drop which is 8:45AM ish UK time :-D
Just want to say another massive thanks and a happy new year to my fellow dead men :-D

Wondering whether to invest in a copy of this.
You should get a good few hours out of it, if it's cheep go for it for the money you spend you should get a good few hours of it and it can get addictive, I would be more then happy to play with you lib and walk through it with you :)

got ark now.
let me know when ur online so i dont die every 2 seconds.
Quote from: Sneakytiger;408338let me know when ur online so i dont die every 2 seconds.
Hehe, yeah we can understand that, i guess it aint the best time to get started from nothing at the moment, as with the winter event still in place (although 25% warmer since last patch) you will be freezing to death before you really can get started.
My advise would be spawn in the south (there are 3 zones to take for the south) then find yourself a good nice looking location on the beach and get started from that point. Why there etc. well the south is the most user friendly area there is (that might not be the case with the event still in place, but normally speaking) plus the cold aint that bad over there then more to the north.
The thing you want to get fast is a little thatch hut with a nice warm fireplace, kill dodo's to get some meat and hides to make some leather gear (when you get a few lvls in). If you managed that then you can start exploring the game a bit more, to level up fast in this game is to start building. get a base started and then the game will really begin.
Quote from: Sneakytiger;408338let me know when ur online so i dont die every 2 seconds.
Was just saying to Galatoni, its really unfair on people trying to join now, this winter event is murder for ungeared players, but so glad you've joined us sneaky! when you're on I'll come invite you to the tribe :-D Unless you want to go it alone for a bit still :-D
OK. I've re-installed it. When does the death-by-freezing event end?
:D
I actually survived long enough to gather berries, build a torch (which stopped me freezing to death quickly), a camp fire (which stopped me freezing completely), cook some meat and make clothes. Then I went into the water after a Dodo and got killed by a piranha.
2nd time around and I managed to quickly get meat, clothes and torch again. I now have a simple hut on the beach to spend my off-line time in.
So far, just the single death from piranha.
Thanks to Sith for telling me the basics and offering me stuff, but you know me, I like to do it the hard way.
Well it seems that Lib has found his way in the game ;)
Sneaky and OB are air dropped in at the SB's Keep, waiting for one of the tribe admins to give them an invite (hint to Sithy :narnar:)
Gave them some food and a gear set to get started.
Main thing for the game itself, towards new players etc. hoping that the winter event ends soon as with everyone freezing to death doesn't really make it fun or easy to get started in the game, in a game that has a lot of fun to offer.
Thanks for the help, Grim and Snokio.
I need to do a few YouTube tutorials to get up to speed.
yeah thx grimm.

me not liking this patch... it is great that the snow is gone, but what they did to our tamed dino's aint funny... they are very weak at the moment...
So for those that are used to getting into big fights with your dino, watch out now as he/she aint as strong anymore. I found that out with my lvl 73 bird.
I lost my bird last night to one single small raptor, for some reason it didn't fight back!
Now waiting for another 1.8GB update!!!

I was worried about this! The patch notes only said very ominously balanced a tamed dinos issue... I don't even want to know :(
Thanks for updating OldBloke :-D
So it seems if your tamed dino had a Melee dmg of 500% ish its now only 155% O_O ouch...
My mate boosted wolves lvl 62 & 51 together still make for VERY powerful hunting though, so that's good at least... Still, Eagles are VERY VERY Nerfed now so fly safe guys!
The spawn beach has got a few new dino's, a Brontosaurus has appeared as well as a few Dilophosaurs.
Had a go at taming yesterday, started with a Dodo. Quick blow to the head and a few berries later, she was tamed and following me around.
Soon lost her and myself to a couple of Dilophosaurs. I came back with a vengeance and killed one, before being taken down by the other again. Sticky goo in the face is not good (unless you are into those sites of course), anyway I came at it again with club in hand and knocked it out.
Only trouble now was that I had no meat, but my old inventory was sat close by to reclaim, no meat. Clubbed the unconscious one again to keep it that way and chopped up it's mate and fed it to it, with a side dish of narco.
He died by trike when I accidentally kept him aggressive after killing dodos, which also made them kill me as well.
Anyway. I have another sitting guard outside my little hut now.
Lot's of dying last night unfortunately, I took on a few nasties, but it all goes to experience.
If an admin would be so kind to update the server that would be sweet.
As they did a little patch to fix the tamed dino situation a bit they comes in very handy to survive :rolleyes:

The server is called DeadMenWalking
It is an pvp server but we leave everyone alone, we play it as a pve server. Server is also password protected so not just everyone can hop on and mess around.
and for Snokio, i might do a run around and check their food lvls etc.

If you can't find it I'll help you tame another one later.
Am very tempted by this with is being in the humble bundle sale and all.
What is the last-ability of the game?
Gutted to see Rivan killed by a Carno of all things, whilst taming another bird i ran out of food up the mountain and had little resources, try to rush to an area where there are berries but got attacked and died which left me brid-less, lucky I levelled up enough to get a Spino saddle, so finnie went up and tamed a rank 23 bird named Rivan II (now 27) and a couple of hours later went up the mountain to find a tammed bird which I thought would have woken up! So a bad day turned good

I'm really enjoying it. Felt a bit grindy at times but doing the team-stuff is what has lifted it for me.

Quote from: SithAfrikaan;409152Hey IceHawk
I need that Quetz Saddle Please :D
Let me know where it is or let me bring you the necessaries, we got that lvl 9 tamed yesterday, it was a NIGHTMARE, but we got it! :D
CANT WAIT TO FLY IT OMG
Think i have it at my base and it is already crafted, had a family thing all of a sudden otherwise i would have helped out on the taming.

Thanks for the Saddle Ice, when it comes to taming that Gigantosaurus I'll airdrop whatever supplis you need from our new BIG BIRD (Named Mobius Diyuuuk, for anyone wondering) in the meantime I need more engram points! :doh:
If anyone kills a Mega Piranha and finds a GPS unit in it's guts...... well I think you can guess the rest.
Went diving with fuzzy and didn't know that he would abandon me if I dismounted to look at an oil rock, that's when the Piranhas attacked and he just circled on the surface.
Anyway, I went back and cleared the area but there was no sign of my corpse or pack floating or on the bottom, night had rolled in.
I guess a shark/dolphin is the right pet for the job in future.
But now I have Fuzzy I will go stomp a few Trilo's and nick their pearls to get mats for building another.
With so many players on ark now how about a special event ? Called the big game hunt where a bunch of us get on a small try to tame our own biggest dino in game the Gigantosaurus ? Let me know what you think? Maybe Friday night we give it a go ? With help from sith and ice hawk of course
I'd be up for that, cant guarantee my performance though

I saw this advertised in the Comunity digest, but is it for official server rules or can you set them? Because taming on our server is more or less double speed of normal mode...
Just had another outage, but seemed to affect everything dmw wise (TS / Forum)
servers back up and ts, little ninja is on ark i think hes near the red tower can anyone help him, cya later.
I made Snokio an admin as he is mainly around the keep and keeps an eye out in ark city as the other admins are all over the island it makes things a bit easier to control with one close to the big group of players.

Yeah good idea that grimnar is a bit lazy he don't like our side of the island :flirty: but sounds brilliant I think eneould ab a great admin and like you said makes it easier for new people since he is looking after us noobs ... Well them noobs ;)
I invited lil ninj and he is at the keep now, getting used to the game and exploring, another house can be added to the little town in making

Every time some one moves in someone's moves out lol but it's a great little town down there, and we got some good people there aswell. Even tho I am just outside the town which I am really happy with and we get the odd sarco attack it's a very nice area. With the wall in place the town would be nice and safe for all them little lambs inside it ;)
Is it quite network heavy? struggling to play ARMA on t'internet so wondering if this would be lighter?
What you got penfold ? If you can play Arma you might not be able to play this but depends on your card I think the lowest setting you can play on is a 770. Arma is very ram and cpu heavy where this requires a good graphics card.
It's not the PC it's the 3rd world internet connection that would be the issue.
Why where do you live ? If you don't mind me asking. I find ark has leg lag it has a few random bit of rubber banding but that's just ark for you it's only a few times and isn't that bad
Quote from: Penfold;409321Is it quite network heavy? struggling to play ARMA on t'internet so wondering if this would be lighter?
The net code isn't optimised. A ridden bronto will lag everyone on the server and we all suffer a bit of rubber-banding occasionally.
Try it and see, Pen. It's great fun, has excellent teamwork elements and you get to ride bloomin' dinosaurs :D
OK downloading.... could take a while :rolleyes:

Thanks guys for making Lil_Ninj welcome.

Awesome! Welcome!
Server updated. Now running v232.8
Thanks Oldie
So ... who's gonna get the first 3-man chicken?
I'm assuming Grim already has a herd of them in his taming hall of fun, server status page has him with a 2,25 hour lead on the others.
nope been hunting kitties and raptors and trying to get some lvls on one of my birds.
plus there isn't much info about how to tame one of those yet.
