Kidding. So obviously … what bosses can you take those to? That’s the question that needs an answer after hearing that damage.

2744

Holy crap I want a couple. Been busy with life lately. Need to get in and get back to boss hunting.

2745

They have to be ridden to get that type of damage. A riderless velon only does 20 damage per shot. I guess that was their way of making people not have a mass of organic murder turrets.

But they can be taken into any boss fight. Velons are not much bigger than terror birds or raptors. They would work best if something else tanked the boss and they were off to the side hosing it down.

I think the next thing I should do is start breeding them for health, because 8k just isn’t a lot for a serious fight.

2746

Might be fun to have some mega velons to ride behind my rex herd

2747

I believe I may have something still messed up with my ARK install. I check every day or two and have not been able to even log into Crystal Isles. Is there a mod I need to delete and reload locally?

It keeps giving me a mod mismatch right away.

2748

When was the last time you tried?

I had this last night. When I checked the Crystal Isles server page for mod updates, it said there were not any. Then I did a force reinstall of all the mods on the server and that allowed me to login.

2749

Hmm, probably early afternoon before you got in yesterday. May have been in the morning even. I will try again tonight! Thanks!

@greywind I’ve finally fixed S+ on Ragnarok.

For whatever reason, S+ wasn’t installing. There were only folders in the S+ mod folder, no files. The only way that I was able to make the mod to install correctly was to run the install while the server was running.

Then after a server restart, the S+ loaded. I am having to do the same thing for S+ on Genesis also.

2751

Yep, that worked. Had to relearn all those Ingrams but all good now. Thank you!

2752

The next phase of breeding program is done. Super Allosaurus! Fully Imprinted they have 29,800 health and 1539% melee.

I am also working on getting a health mutation line bred up on my velons. The current male has 10384 health with 7 mutations left to go. I estimate it will have 15k pre-imprint health, then breed it with the Stamina & Melee mutation ones and I’ll have a beast.

2753

Nice. I jumped back in and got the new item collector set up and running. Took me a minute to figure out what it was called haha. Dinos are fed and generators are all powered. Going to try and get some time invested into boss hunting in the coming weeks.

2754

The Acrocanthosaurus mod, the Shiny mod, and Halloween all converged to give me this magnificent bastard

The shiny mod is doing a holiday thing where there are trick or treat dinos. Tame them and get something else entirely. I got this by taming an Allosaurus, which is nice, since these things are a bitch to tame the standard way.

2755

That dino is gorgeous, and I don’t ever use that phrase. Almost Genesis like in the color scheme but with a good base color over the top.

2756

Yeah, the Shiny’s Halloween-themed color combos are all pretty nice.

If anyone trying to login is getting this error “Invalid Json Token. Line: 1 Ch: 1”, try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/jmrylb/invalid_json_token/

It looks like CloudFlare is having issues, based on the poster’s comments. The fix is to edit your host file and route a couple entries to your local host to by pass the problem. I have no idea if this affects Official servers, but it let me play on the Qt3 servers.

Edit: What ever issue was happening has been resolved, the fix itself causes Ark to crash. Remove the host entries to fix the error from the fix.

Edit 2: From Wildcard-

It has always amazed me how many bugs get introduced to this game lol

2759

So being new and all I didn’t know you could just walk up to an obelisk and change servers with your character and all your stuff in your inventory intact. I have one level 90 toon on Crystal Isles with a lovely base, and now one at level 90 on Ragnarok. If I transfer from Ragnarok to CI will be old toon be deleted, or does the game consider them different people? Will I have access to my base on CI with my character from Rag?

Also, I went to explore The Island and the same issues with S+ are there. You can learn the engrams but can’t place anything.

2760

So it’s a little bit of magic with you being on each server but not at the same time. When you’re on a server, a file is made on that server containing your character info while there.

When you transfer out to another server, your state (level, inventory, progress through bosses,) becomes the file made on the new server. It also means you “exist” on both servers so if you connect to either, you’re character is there, making a new one deletes that file.

But it also means if you “fail” during transfer, you’re still there on that old server. And the files don’t delete (by default) so if you transfer from say, Crystal Isles to Ragnarok, you “exist” with two files. One with whatever you make/do/level on Rag, one an older version of you on Crystal Isles. Again, only the last server you are on has the latest version of you.

That’s way too much technical info but it means you’re safe transferring around our cluster. I believe you can do the same to other servers (unofficial and PvE) but I’ve never tried that.

This is just my understanding of it, but I’d say most of us have had failed transfers at one point or another, and also servers that get rolled back, etc. You’re usually still there and can pick back up if things bail out.

Also this only applies if you transfer using an Obelisk or beacon drop or the S+ transmitter and when you get to the new server, “spawn survivor.”

2761

I believe he is saying he has two characters on dif maps. It was my understanding if you jumped to a server with a new character it would delete the character there.

2762

Ahh, I missed that, Grem. In that case, yes, it gets deleted if you transfer. Similar to what we do on a new map, leveling a character for a while, then some of us transfer our older and already leveled character over.

When doing that, it can mess with owned items, tribes joined, etc. It’s an admin headache.
