Yes, Last night a few of us had a few raptors tamed and Duckie dinos tamed as mounts. We were building a base fairly deep in the woods, in the dark - And once you leave the beach at night, everything is absolutely pitch black. Torches are required.

Anyway, DA suddenly dies while building walls on our base were building. He doesn't have the slightest idea what killed him, but even the biggest dinosaurs in the game seem to take at least two hits/bites to kill you, however DA died in one. So I ran over, assuming that a player had headshotted him, to quickly discover that as my torchlight illuminated the area; it was definitely not a player that killed DA. There were a group of 6 T-REX's stood in our base eating and demolishing everything.

Needless to say, I didn't make it very far into the woods before I became the second course of their feast orgy.

So, we lost absolutely everything and are back at square one. And it was a blast.

k, downloading...

 

[Shilka]

Well, was getting around 17 FPS on low/medium settings with all fancy stuff turned off, but on the new 171 branch my performance got worse and is now around 13 FPS Anyone else having worse performance since today?

 

[Shilka]

nvm, they released a new version again and now on 17-22 fps

 

[Shilka]

and another new update and back to 13 FPS...

The whole, we'll be pushing out performance updates daily stuff doesn't seem to be working out for me...

 

[Fireblade]

I haven't logged in today but last night I was getting 30-35 fps while streaming at 1080p.

We're playing on USOfficial 12, Shilka.

We've got a fairly large base in the north. Be mindful though, we haven't exactly been friendly to the neighbors.

So finally bit the bullet on Ark along with a friend I wanted to bring into B2O, are you guys all playing on the B2O PvE server or is anyone still playing on a PvP server?

 

[skerwball]

A few of us are playing on official 12 sever that is PvPvE.

We're quite established on USOfficial 12. We have a metal base and now have the ability to make high-end weapons like firearms and rocket launchers.

Anyone still playing this? Picked it up in the sale today

 

[little P]

Aaaaaand... refunded it.

 

[Kenadian]

It just looked like a big bag of steamy dog turd so I passed and will continue to pass.

DayZ with Dinosaurs just isn't my thing.

 

[Shilka]

Aaaaaand... refunded it.

Weird it was top seller for so long eh? One of my bad buys from the past year. Have a tiny little hope it might become something worth playing eventually. Actually, not even that.

 

[Fireblade]

It's still Steam's #1 top seller today.

I don't know why you all didn't like it. I had a blast with it.

 

[D.O.A.]

Yeah i felt it was very decent for an early access game .
And the devs seem to be working non stop , bringing out new builds almost on a daily basis .

 

[ElektroVodka]

Same here, i probably would still be playing it if i didn't break my hand.
The performance at start was bad, but i did notice some improvement over the following days that got me up to 50FPS.

Im ashamed to say, we are currently getting our asses kicked on s12, im currently the tribe owner, and am not giving up on re-building, but we could use some help, as the tribe is basically decimated. If any of you guys are still interested in playing, or just some hard core suicide missions.. join s12!
