    If I had remembered, I totally would have shown up to watch and throw a spear and get killed and serve as a momentary distraction for you.

    There's meant to be an encore tomorrow at 6 PM PST, if you still feel like dying horribly.

    Or I could add you to the tribe alliance, you could use or borrow a flyer that you can use guns from the back of, and contribute just enough to get all the tekgrams. :wink:

    pierce, I'm pretty sure you need to live to get the engrams. There should be enough critters coming to at least take the lowest level boss.

    I'm actually not going to be around anyways. So I'll participate in the next boss event we have.

    Can any of the dodos actually fight?

    Kind of want to become a dodomancer.

    Happy Halloween! Starts: 12PM EST Monday 30th of Oct -- Ends: 12 PM EST Wednesday 1st of Nov!

    This Halloween the ARK is undergoing a spooky seasonal change where the air is colder, the days shorter and the nights longer! Starting on Monday, the 30th of October, all official servers on every platform will be placed under a witches' curse lasting 48 hours! During this time, survivors may encounter abnormal overworld spawns and can find themselves in for a treat with returning cosmetics and valuable stated items available in the drops!

    So I am not sure how much this will affect Ragnarok, but since we have to reboot for this anyway, I'll just turn off the weekend boost then.

    Broodmother defeated again!

    Good fight everyone. Was clearly harder this time with less people, many brave chickens died.

    So, remember how I boosted the dmg on the CKF weapons and stuff? I don't know exactly how much that scales but... well, here...

    I have a mastercraft spiked mace I got from a drop
    I have 150% melee stat
    Spiked Mace dmg is boosted because of config files

    Its a decent enough pick to be worth keeping with me. I ended up hitting a dino with it earlier. It dropped a high level anky in two hits.

    High level EVERYTHING short of like, Brontos and Rexes and stuff goes down in 2-3 hits. It is freaking hilarious. I can use this instead of DARTS.

    What he neglected to mention was that he beat the shit out of a lvl 50 Giga with it as well.

    Also, my teleport room for my new base is probably a bit overboard.... I've been spending all my time and resources on that instead of making an actual, usable base.

    I do not advise non-admins to try that last one.

    So apparently there are giant squids in this game..

    My delayed response to that:

    On the map we play, there is a place on the map where there are always giant squids. Several of them. At one point there was a bug that caused an overspawn, which means there would be around 40 giant squid in that area at one time.

    They are pretty easy tames too, especially on weekends with taming boosts. We got squids for a LOT of people this weekend.

    And they're amazing to have. Aren't effected by eels/jellyfish, good movement speed, can grab and hold things, and super strong.

    They are affected by eels/jellyfish. But they just get stunned for a bit, the day of forever stunlocking eels is over.

    Eels don't stun them, they just slow them.

    Do they get less terrifying once you tame them?

    Think I'm just going to instinctively shit my pants the first time I dive into the water in this game.

    Did we mention you tame them by swimming directly into their beak to hand feed them?

    So what I just read is that we should all park our squids in the water around Dr Chaos place... maybe with some tentacles into the air...

    Also Mudd left out the part about taming them while they drink the blood of your mount pinned in their terrible embrace while you swim in up to the beak...

    So in theory, when the server comes up the Halloween thing will be active. I am unsure how this will impact Ragnarok. Will it affect spawns on a custom map? Will if affect drops when I have overrides in place? Who knows. Let me know if anything real bad happens.

    Also I have updated loot drops a bit. They will now be a bit more generous with coins and/or element. I believe I have also fixed the desert drops now as well.

    I logged on today to check on things and I noticed a lot of titanboas spawning in the snow area above my base.

    So things I've noticed about this janky, clearly cobbled-together holiday event.

    - Most of the skins dropped by loot crates are for ponytail haircuts
    - We're getting SOTF trophies labeled with the name of random tribes who presumably won SOTF
    - Some of the skins you can't even pick up, like the Ark Dev Tester ballcap
    - Comparing the drops in the desert vs the area around the market... Scorched Earth apparently didn't even get this event. All the drops using the SE loot tables don't drop skins and stuff
    - Some of the skins and emotes dropped are Christmas themed

    Or Thanksgiving themed. I got a Turkey emote and a chief hat.

    I'm looking for a 1st place survival of the fittest trophy to complete my collection. I needed more things to decorate my trophy tower, so this event is great, for a 2 day failure.

    Found two unclaimed Theri's at my construction site. Going to assume they're orphans for me to take, but if that was a mistake, you can have them back. Wont spend the skill points until I know it's cool. Only reason I'm not sure is they were left at a place that isn't my current base.

    That was me. Beorn gave me a bunch for the boss fight and told me to give you whatever I wanted. I gave you the LONE SURVIVORS of the Theri horde!

    The process for turning off Halloween is rather involved. Some of it is running now, I will finish the rest in the morning. It's real late here.

    Crossing my fingers this gets a discount in the steam sale later this month. Starting to get oddly hyped after a long period of years of no interest in this at all once I started playing 7 days to die (I know the two games can be pretty different but still, its the survival element).

    Missed my opening with the flash sale which I assumed was a part of the Halloween sale. Doh. :P

    Do people still play the older maps online? Probably going to be awhile before I get around to Scorched Earth and Abberation.

    The Shaman appears as your group sits down for their evening meal, the sun setting in the distance. Your tribemates generally ignore her. At this point, they are used to her strange appearances and disappearances. She sits down at your campfire, staring at you across the flames and smoke.

    "The Spirits commend you at surviving the onslaught send forth from the deep places. The cave beasts have returned to their holes."

    She tosses something into the fire. The color of the flame begins to shift.

    "But I fear the darkness is not done with us yet. The beasts of the island react... strangely to the forces at play. You should be wary."

    As she says this, the sun finishes setting, and full night falls across the island. As the light vanishes, you begin to hear cries from the jungle in the distance. One creature, two, a dozen, more. An otherworldly howl the likes of which you have never heard. It's as if every creature on the island exulted at once with a strength you never thought possible.

    When you turn back, the Shaman is gone. In her place you see a scythe. The blade is a massive raptor claw, from what must be an enormous beast indeed. On it, in blue flame, is etched...


    The Strong Stalk the Night

    The handle is made of an equally large femur of some kind, on it, etched...

    The Beast Sleeps in Contentment

    Something has been increased by two.
    Taming speed is increased by 2x our base, for a total of 6x

    S+ just updated.
    Update: Nov 2 @ 7:38pm
    - Fixed issue that caused some dino's inventories to become inaccessible after the Transfer Gun was used on them
    - Fixed collision on ramps (should no longer get stuck on them)
    - Fixed issue with PullResourcesAdditions that prevented it from loading more than 1 class
    - Pull Selected will no longer pull fertilized eggs
    - Fixed issue with Hatchery not incubating/giving egg boost after a restart
    - S+ Tranq Turret will only extend the spoil timer of Shocking Tranq Darts when activated now
    - S+ Animal Tender & S+ Generator can now be renamed
    - S+ Sheep Herder will no longer collect wool when their inventory is full
    - S+ Turrets can be placed on motorboats now
    - Removed wood bracing from stone ceilings, roofs & ramps
    - New Config Option: DisableCrossTeamTeleport (forces the teleporter to only work for tribe members)
    - The Craft All Instant button in the S+ Grinder will no longer show for blueprints placed in its inventory
    *note: While I like this functionality, the grinder is not the right structure for it. In the next content update, I will include a structure specifically designed around crafting from blueprints.*
    - The Nanny no longer has an activation cooldown, instead, she will no longer perform her duties immediately upon activation (activating her merely starts her timer, thus picking her up/turning on/off will not result in any benefit)
    - Changed how collecting structures resume their duties after a server restart

    Well I wanted to play a bit tonight and build a bit more. But instead, I logged in and watched some dumbass bird randomly attack my dinos, send them all in a frenzy, and then watch them all run off a cliff. So instead of doing anything fun, i got to run them all back to my base.
