Thanks Jas.

I know we ALL lost our best gear and weapons tonight but DuVeL certainly lost more than most with the weapons he handed out. Let me know if we can replace some Duv and I'm sure we'll all chip in.

[DuVeL]

Artifact wise, which are we missing? Otherwise I'll have a look tonight.

Please keep in mind that some of these artifacts are doable solo but still better to do in a group (these count for the Island):
-Artifact of the Cunning (1x available) (solo, watch out for bats and lavastreams).
-Artifact of the Imune (2x available) (group, watch out that your combination of scuba and ghilly doesn't get destroyed by the centipedes so bring spares).
-Artifact of the Skylord (1x available) (solo, I'll do this one again if needed, it's a small cave which can be done fast depending where the creatures are, some bats and spiders around).
-Artifact of the Strong (2x available) (group of atleast 4, we've done this one before, watch out for the purlovia's).

About the weapons and armour things that got lost:
I don't need anything back. It was a risk that I took, we needed the highest DPS possible with the best armour for people to wear as we needed the numbers of people.
I already probably have the mats available to make a new set anyway for myself. I'll have a look tonight.

EDIT: number of artifacts still available at the Island box at Green Obelisk

Next attempt - 10 players with 250% dmg, 205 dur assault rifles, 5k ammo each, full ghillie, and shadowsteak.

ShadowSteak = Need to test but it is mentioned that it reduces recoil making assault rifles the king of damage

The dragon is focused on the Rexs under the cliff. They are tucked up to a wall and take less damage. The guys shooting must stay far enough away to avoid getting any agro from the dragon or it will fly

I think next we need to go in cheep gear and just see if we can get the dragon locked into the position on the Vid

Cunning, Devourer and Massive just dropped into the Obelisk chests. I know they're not what we need but I had them at the harbour.

Needs before attempt 3 :norty:

Artifacts  -  done (one set left)

Foods  - Sweetcake (Effect needs testing), Shadow steak, Tartar , Cailen soup, Healing brew

Dino - 2  sacrificial 25000hp rexes 2 each for 10 people and saddle. 1x Healing pig  

Assault rifle +200% damage and 1000 ammo,

Ghilly Armour. 3 primitive sets each

It may be possible to gather stuff in a more efficient way as a team rather than individually going and getting stuff please have a think how we can streamline the grind.:help2:

Can't find a way to permanently display the active taming group on the screen.

The problem is that the tame group selection acts in toggle mode instead of just being able to hit the key and know it's selected. Easy to get disoriented in battle.

'Z' isn't really an option as it will also add whatever dino you are looking at into the active group.

On the G13 I've been playing and set up a secondary keymap making it so it selects another group before it selects the group I want, thereby cancelling the toggle effect.

I've set up my G13 like this.

[Liberator]

Just realised I would need to be able to switch back into ungrouped mode as well, so set up another button to select a tame group, then select another group twice to toggle out of groupings.

Macro key example

Select Tame Group 1 = NumPad9->NumPad1
Select Tame Group 2 = NumPad9->NumPad2
......
Select Tame Group 9 = NumPad8->NumPad9

Deselect Tame Groups = NumPad9->NumPad1->NumPad1

[OldBloke]

Nice solution.

As Pen volunteered me as Rex Wrangler No.2 I'm think about using Voice Attack for this. Less chance for miss-pressed keys.

[JonnyAppleSeed]

Nice ..... some high level dino control incoming. Can you make them sit beg and roll over too :thumbsupsmileyanim:

[Penfold]

We didn't have the bodies to do the Dragon last week so how about tomorrow?

I think we're in the death throes of this game as we've leeched players and now only have a few regulars.

Is this it for Ark? I think many people are at that stage to be honest.

Shall we have a big bash at the Dragon tomorrow? We'll really need 10 people.

[Penfold]

I think the responses says it all really.

You're just desperate to not like Ark anymore, shoo! I'm off Partying, get ready for ABERAAAATIOOON! :lmfao:

[sulky_uk]

for some reason this post didnt flag on not read for me till tonight, im game

[DuVeL]

I didn't reply to this as I've already said I'd be there on Discord.

I'm up for giving the Dragon boss a try but it is indeed as you've mentioned: we need the numbers so we have enough DPS.
If there's still stuff needed for it then give a shout and I'm willing to help.

There's still somethings to do though on both maps. Some caves have not been fully explored but I know some people are not really interested in them.
Even if I make a run for the artifact in the small cold cave, it still sends a (cold) chill down my spine because of the tention...
