Step 1: Spawn under a Brontosaurus and become a pancake before your wake up animation ends. Step 2: Spawn at a different spot and die because there was a raptor there and it killed you while the wakeup animation ended Step 3: Actually survive the wake up animation and collect things outlined in this guide Step 4: Hey look, a raptor. You're dead. Step 5: Try and collect your dead body's previous stuff but raptor is still there so you died. Step 14: You look at a waterfall and lose all your FPS. You died because a raptor noticed you while you struggled on a waterfall. Step 21: You attack a large bunch of enemies and the game decides that since this is the first one of that species you killed you need to know about it by having a giant congratulations screen detailing the species pop in front of you and you now need to exit 3 menus before you can control yourself again. Oh, you died and lost everything. At least you now know what you killed :) Step 84: Now that you have an army of dinos and in more dangerous lands, you attack in defense of a carnivore and a wandering mammoth gets poked by one of your pets. You have pissed off every mammoth in a 1km radius. You died and lost everything.
This game becomes way more fun if you play on x5 rates and with a group of active people. [editline]5th October 2016[/editline] Also I prefer the official mod map, the center, instead of the default island map (it's also more optimized).
Raptors are dicks. Alpha Raptors? Oh boy. Lightning fast, has Modern Warfare 2 Commando and has a tendency to come out of absolutely nowhere or it runs about like a retard yet still manages to agro onto you as soon as you turn your back. If you see one of those roaming around your base. Pack the fuck up and leave, just leave. And let me just say that the dossier thing that pops up every time you kill something would be fine if it didnt take away control from you, usually infront of other mobs. That's just stupid game design. This game is already harsh to begin with and it doesn't help that the rather nice things to have like a bow isnt unlocked till you level up to at least 15. It might just be the server shit is terrifying that so many dinos are high level. This game has been terrifying and i've not gone to a cave yet. That'll be [b]fun.[/b]
TwitchRP is a fun server to watch streamers play on. It isn't about surviving, it's about the drama and inner workings of these groups of people. The dinosaurs are used as tools and rarely pose an issue. There's some pretty hilarious and good characters Basically the only fun I see in Ark. Watching these streams
i'd get ark if only to play on twitchRP servers but i feel that's not possible
Spawn at the right point on the map and basically nothing will bother you, just build up resources and let yourself die then go and tame something useful. At that point, just farm things till you drop. If you farm up a good set of shit you honestly have to try pretty hard to die, once you have a pack of any alpha predator and a tanky or flying mount, you can pretty much only die from stupid shit, disconnecting while flying over a swamp, or encountering the wildcard ruin your life giga
