Boss Needs

[Penfold]

Well taming the giant squids was fun last night so that's something.

I would still like to do the Dragons if we can just to let us play with some tek gear if possible. We also need to kill a gamma dragon to open the tek cave. Regarding that, it appears the trophies are bugged as each time we kill a boss it's meant to drop a trophy. We'll work around that if needed.

Yeah, we went out for a play on them after, unfortunately the "Untamed Carry" setting also affects the squids for their torpor attack. But we did find that we could pull each other off the squids and torpor ourselves.

Tip 1: Do not take off your tank on the surface whilst on a squid, it still counts as being under water as when you get off the thing you are inside it instead of on the saddle where you should be.

Ah this is awesome, I watched some videos of taming these before and it looked so cool. The sea is a large part of ark I've not really explored, as I've always ran out of steam before getting that far (or in this case, left the country!).

Its a shame to see the game going this way within the community, but it's inevitable with this sort of game. It just doesn't offer much in the way of long term compelling end game. As duvel said thought, there are still some bits to explore and I would try to get those done as a group while still possible, even if only 4 or 5 of you.

Also worth pointing out that for a game of this sort, I think ark has actually had a fantastic run in dMw, keeping good fun activity way beyond what I would have expected. I think a big thanks is due to of course the team keeping things running smoothly throughout (both server side and in game), but also to the wider player base in general. Ark has always provided a friendly game to drop into, with everyone going out of their way to help new players, and to work together and look after one another to accomplish the awesome stuff we have done over the servers. To me it has been a great example of dMw community spirit throughout its life, and I think everyone deserves a pat on the back for making it so.

Then I guess when all is done it's off to find the 'next ark', ey? :norty:
