Hi all. I really think we need to organise specific dates and times for server events. For example this recent giga tame.. That's a great team event, if we can make it publicly known when it's going to happen, more people may show up and feel more like part of a team etc...
As we don't need a set night for these I think we could just pick any night and post about it 2 or 3 nights in advance... for example this Saturday at 1900 we will take a giga. Or even things like mass Argie tames, Quetz tames...so on.. lots we could do!
Thoughts? Am happy to post up an event for the giga if needed (unless already done?)
I agree that this helps people plan. The only thing is these animals might not be around when the event is scheduled. We looked for the giga a few days before the first attempt and it was nowhere to be seen. I suppose you have to try it and see.
That can be in the event description- we will start with a mass giga hunt...
Hahaha!
I'm away for a few days over the weekend so if you could organise that would be fantastic.
It would be a good group event and mark the first in a long line.
Nice one and thanks.
Alright cool I will post up tonight to see when people are available.
What can people provide for the giga tame on Monday? I have a few hundred narcos I will give and I can quickly make arrows etc too. I have a pteranodon and Eagle for use also.
Can anyone else contribute so we have enough stuff? Not everyone involved will have played as much, but as it's a team effort ideally we can all help out?
Although if you have stuff you want to keep back that's ofc ok we just need to know what we have so we can fill any gaps! :)
From our experience last time, you will need a lot more tranq arrows than the calculators say unless you can trap it and fire non-stop without any breaks and with more than one shooter. We went through up to 1000 arrows on the level 25 but there were long breaks when he went in the water. Make sure you have a number of crossbows for each person shooting as well as you tend to only get about 100 arrows before they break (primitive).
Alright I'll make arrows and crossbows today... can someone make some more narcos by tomorrow?
Shall we bear trap the beast?
I reckon that's a good plan, fun to at least try it. Can you make us a few?
I have around 300 tranq arrows and will have 6 or 7 crossbows to donate... we need more, I will do what I can but definitely need others to contribute if able?
I have a Apprentice longneck rifle and a couple hundred tranquil darts which I can donate if I'm not back in time.
We have around 500 narcotics so far - more to come.
I'll also try to build another tracking node for it.
I have a Pistol, not sure that can be used for darts or not, I imagine they are more accurate than crossbows(?) I have about 200 Narcotic Arrow collected. Plus a few bows made.
A trap will only last for about 10 seconds. if you're planning on trapping then the four metal dino gate method in conjunction may be the solution.
Well it didn't work, but I for one am glad we tried, it was good to be attempting something as a group.
Now we can plan "Giga Tame V2 - The Penfold Twist."
Some of the guys couldn't attend this event, so why don't we make a poll to find out when they could come along for the next try?
The more group events the better... they give people a reason to come onto the server and put some effort in beyond their daily build etc... those are my thoughts anyhow!
This has fizzled out.
I am thinking of proposing a group build project. My first idea is we all get together on the centre, find a suitable spot, and build a colosseum of sorts... then we could even have some gladiator style fights there to spice up the game...
It could be done, although would have to plan exactly how we will build it etc... but I think something needs to happen in the Centre.. I would like to keep that map going.
What do others think?
Sorry.
I currently get into Ark at all since Scorched Earth so have been out the loop for a few weeks.
I'll try and get it sorted and working.
I propose a catch up at the LAN as previously discussed so we'll use this thread for ideas for the agenda.
THanks
Pen and co, we need to post up about what we discussed at the LAN and set a ball rolling I think.
I am happy to do this tomorrow (day off), but if you would rather do it Pen then by all means just let me know :)
AFAIK we decided on Sundays being an organised night, with the odd Thursday thrown in too, right?
Yup.
If you wouldn't mind that'd be great.
I'm going well out of my comfort zone and and going to Manchester tomorrow. I'm also away in Belgium for a few days next week.
Will they understand your acent in Manc?

Will post as soon as - just waiting on a reply to a PM then we are good to go :)
And they will understand Pen fine, but he won't have a clue what they're trying to say :P
Couldn't help but notice sulks, who couldn't make Thursdays, made Thursday :woot2:
Only duvel then that couldn't make it. I think we should alternate nights but not just Thursdays and Sundays maybe throw some other day in too.. just to mix it up and make sure people can come. Needs to be announced at weekend though, and the thread strategically bumped a few times too, I think :)
Next is when?

And me ya dick!
Out of the players that said they couldnt make it, muppet.
When is the night this week?Thurs again?
Hey.
No, not Thursday this week as DuVeL and Sulky can't make that. What about Friday night for a change. I know we steer clear of them normally but I think most people said Friday was good.
Sure go for it. I'm on call most evenings so I can't make it anyway.. I just wanted to clarify for others. I'll leave you to post it in main forums as I won't be there!
