Personally i think we have a decent amount of people where everyone will have the opportunity to move around and interact.

That being said I needa work on how combat will work... And I think I half wanna answer someone who stated humans might get singled out in pack fights: considering most animals here have not yet interacted with humans (I assume humans are a recent addition to ARK), I think only large animals that'd prey on the large apes may try to naturally take a whack at humans. Others might fight back when attacked, so hmm..

It was just a thought I had. Most pack hunters tend to go after the weakest member of the herd...

True, though most large carnivores that had no prior exposure to humans seem to just attack only if they get too close or are hungry. In a herd situation I think any predator would go after the more familiar prey rather than an unfamiliar critter.

It also kinda explains why most chill creatures other than the most skittish gallis and ovis tend to be chill until you attack them. Hell I got close to spinos and sarcs (med range, like about 40 feet away) and they seemed to not aggro until I got closer.

I probably am not going to mention that I was within like 15 feet of 2 megalos because I still think that one was a glitch lol.

(Then again I'm a geneticist and not an animal behaviorist, haha)

Yeah, map will be nice O:

With such a huge area, I was hoping people may pickup that they should start moving around to go interact (I don't mind if someone fast travels to get to someone else on the other side of the map if its been a while since they interacted with another person)

A bronto would definitely be easy to spot! I probably will see if I can get Fume over after a few interactions, because she'd love Thunder and Lightning to bits.

I'm going to start on it, I'm just going to plot down everyone's current bases not their player/dino locations... basically making a warmap...

But yeah I forsee a lot of fast travel in my future or else no one would ever see Kaeris. But I loved the idea of a mobile base when they introduced the platform saddles. Infact my tribe (really it's just me and my uncle), converted all our brontos to mobile " Clan Woodstock" Bases... That's kind why I went ahead and took the burden of a bronto, I know I could of gone with a paracer, but their platforms are so small there's no way to pretend a shack on one of them would be comfortable.

Oh gosh they're apparently adding titanosaurs or smth. Basically bigger brontos you can build on, and extending the amount of buildings on a creature's back, I think.

And yeah, the poor paracers probably wouldn't fit one fit for a person to live in Q-Q

Though, new update has taxi saddles 8D Lots of nice things I'll look over with my server, haha

XD So Flower's a mobile hotel and teh newest dino is a taxi?

I'm actually quite surprise with so many players we don't have a single tribe o.o I was expecting at least two players to team up... * Then again I did go back and look over the characters and... we've got a lot of anti-social people.*

Alright not sure how many of our players have found their way here... but I'm going to be putting together a "War Map", essentially a reference for all player's current locations, I'll be editing my first post to this thread to include it.

If you could be kind enough to tell me which square on this grid you are in, and what color you'd like to be marked in, it would help a lot. For instance I'm claiming Lime Green as my marker and I'm in square E12



Sorry I don't have a gridded map with the region names.

I'd say I'm around L-7

The color blue would work for me, if not, blue-green

Jac's at N-11
purple, blue, or grey would work

Pastel pink for Fume would work! O11!

Perhaps for locations we can put it next to the general area?

Hower, I think you might be lost. This is mainly an OOC chatter thread for an RP I made, and we're discussing how to track our chars on the (very large) world map!
