Title: Dino's are dying!
Post by: Grimnar on March 23, 2016, 11:01:18 PM
Today we already had one dino dying of starvation and more will follow quickly!


As we noticed that some players havn't logged in for a while or even logged in but didn't care about their dino's, we are seeing and going to see more dino's dying from starvation.
You can't expect from the players that are still playing to feed your dino's if you havn't asked or said anything about being away for a while.
So for those that are still comming back to the game please start feeding your dino's or ask the people that still play to do it for you for a little while, otherwise you might return to a empty base.


Some of us have been feeding dino's all over the island but we can't expect them to keep doing that, so please give a notice of what your plans are for the game so we can keep that in mind.

I can not see me coming back so please take whatever Dino I have you would like. But please let Duvel have first dibs as he has been feeding them for me.

I don't think any of mine are still alive but if they are please take them if they are of any use.  I won't be returning to ARK anytime soon, but if I do I won't expect my dino's to be where I left them

It may be useful to say who's dinos are dying (if known) as it's all a bit mystic otherwise.

I can only think it's Rogue's but Chaos also hasn't been on much......

I checked on Rogue's yesterday when I found one of his argie's at the bottom of the ravine and kited him back to the top and they birds looked OK but have to admit I didn't look too closely so it could be one of his.

We all feed the volcano ones when passing (I hope). I don't go there much but certainly take meat and berries when I do...

I am at work 90% of the time right now.

I am sure I will return to Ark, but I don't know when I will have the time.

Don't worry about my dinos, if they die they die :)

Chaos base next to me is sort of fine, if there are dino's at the ice base then i dunno. Rogue is loosing dino's already.

I can think of jewelz and the cave base that might be in a state of hunger aswell..

I think the server restarts tend to make dinos move around a few feet and may dislodge or glitch dinos though floors.

So far we know an Argie has died from attack last week at Rogues and a beetle died from starvation last night. After pumping 160 meat into a trough and seeing it vanish in seconds I gave up. Probably saved a few dinos in range of that trough for a few more days though.

But someone had filled the trough with berries recently, just left the carnivores to starve.

As already stated, if you are using the crater you must take berries and meat with you for the trough, also put a stack of berries into whichever dinos you are using to harvest so they are good while away from the centre. If there are berries already in there, then take them out and restack then into 100's to make them last longer.

Snokio was the one who kept feeding yours at last few weeks, he has first dibs but I reckon he has enough dinos. Maybe Sneaky can use your bird (Argy) though.

There were berries in your top trough but no meat. It went through 220 meat before slowing. When I left there was about 30 left so they are full now at least.

Umm if you have time to play other games then surely you have time to pop in to do the odd food run for your dinos? Grinding for food is a hassle for everyone and it's a bit different if you're away on holiday than just because you can't be bothered .....

Just saying.

You're all welcome to claim my dino's as your own. I'm not sure where my quetz has gone though, wouldn't of thought it would've starved to death yet.
