Well when you do buy it come join us

You still get stuff done but it's not showing it in its best light

Official servers being laggy doesn't mean anything, official servers are dogshit unless you like waiting 20 years to tame a Dodo. Unnoficial servers are better as they come with reduced tame speeds most of the time which cuts out a lot of the b/s. Even 50% faster tames make life a lot more enjoyable in Ark.

Where are you guys playing and do you have a tribe (think that's it) ..seriously thinking about this game liked it from the first time I was saw it, but was tied up with work so could not get the time.

But of an exaggeration lol. I got a lvl 122 arg in 4 hours last night.

Edit: and we've just done 5 sabers in 2 hours ish.

If you make kibble then you can tame high level pets really quickly. We just kept stacks of various eggs in the fridge and made them up when we knew what we were taming

Anyone know of a good reliable PvP UK server with boosted taming and foraging?

DEL 707 · 5 Aug 2015 at 11:59

Can anyone help me with settings?

Running around on the beach, I'm getting 20-30 FPS, doesn't exactly look pretty either...

Specs
i7 overclocked to 4Ghz
12gb RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7850

This. However my tames have only been with prime so far. I'm saving my kibbles

.

Oo the devs claim to have fixed the server lag coming in a patch today.

Is there any pattern to Dino eggs , i would like to start farming kibble but im unsure on the egg's anyone got any tips ?

Mynight · 5 Aug 2015 at 16:37

They should be just like poos now. They're removing the weird mechanic in the latest patch. Not sure what the drop rate is though but you should just be able to watch them and eventually lay an egg.

Best way would be to tame yourself a male and shed load of females of the same species then wait.

Edit: Lag seems fixed now

. Buy the game

I had awful performance when I tried the game out a week a go as well. It looked nice when I turned the settings up to high but was unplayable at those settings.
I'm guessing it doesn't like older graphics cards like GTX670 or your 7850.

Anyone know cheapest place, its funny I don't ever mind spending money on games, just feel reluctant to spend more than £15 on this.

Mynight · 5 Aug 2015 at 22:33

£16.50 G2A no idea how safe they are though.

Personally I'd buy through steam so if you hate it at least you can get a refund assuming you haven't played more than 2 hours or had the game for 2 weeks.

caff · 5 Aug 2015 at 22:36

I don't know if I'm regretting my purchase and should get a refund...

It just seems so similar to Rust, H1Z1, The Forest, etc. none of which interested me beyond the first half hour.

Game is rubbish unless you play in a tribe with other active player and use TS.

Well that's not a bad thing tbh!

To be fair to the game that stament is rubbish, a lot of people play single player and build epic base just for the design and fun, then mess with dino's. Might not be right for you (or me) but does not make the rubbish.

Paradiso · 6 Aug 2015 at 13:45

I played this when it first appeared, can you still loose everything on a PvE server if your wood house is smashed and your looted whilst logged off ?

Not really, given the simple fact most of the games design is based around open world PVP / PVE.

Had a try at SP and PVE, both are nothing vs a proper PVP server with a tribe, i am the owner of a tribe with over 15 excellent and very active players, also managing alliances with 3 other tribes with similar size fighting off such issues as Congo Virus and a chinese invasion etc, we now 'own' our official server and manage it in a way that new players don't get wiped out without having a chance to build / enter into a fair fight.

Don't be a derp and build huge wood bases, get into metal ASAP.

my point does not have a right or wrong answer, it was mearly that calling a game rubbish becuase you do not like that playstyle was not a fair stament to the game.
