ARK: Survival Evolved / Tales of Woe
« on: August 17, 2015, 01:08:55 pm »
To quickly explain, myself and a team mate recently moved to Getsome's Ark server. We built in an alcove in the water, which has a slowly tapering cliff face bordering 3 sides of our base.
This morning, I quickly checked our base, and before even putting on my headphones, could see the ground shaking. I looked in the pen out front, and a lvl 116 Male Bronto had launched himself off the cliff above us, and landed in our holding pen. This in itself posed a serious logistical challenge, having only put in a dino gate, and not a behemoth one.
I decided my only course of action, which was to knock out a section of wall, to let the bronto out. I start running across the holding pen to begin demolishing walls, just as one of my Dilos got stood on by the Bronto, which of course, caused a small upset. 6 Tames died on the first tail swish, I died on the second. I spawned, raced down to the base (our temp bed was up on the cliff behind the new base). I then managed to knock out enough walls to get him out, but then as the Bronto hit the water, about 5 MegaPiranhas got stuck into him, and I got tail whipped a second time, launched out into deeper water, and died again.
I finally respawned on the bed on the hill above base, and start running down the hill again, and about halfway down, got T-boned by a Carno at full snot, which launched me off the cliff, down in to the holding pen, whereupon, you guessed it....... I died.
I wait a while for the cool down on the spawn bed, and start running down the hill again (I have since set my bed up in my base), and hear heavy footsteps as I get closer to the base. I run through the front door to the holding pen, and discover that the Carno that had just boofed me off the cliff, has followed my carcass down, into ........ sigh, our holding pen.
Having just lost all my tames to the angry Bronto, I am wondering how to despatch this Carno, when suddenly, a Rex literally falls from the sky, having just seen me and the carno from the low side of the cliff, now I have a lvl 45 Carno, and a lvl 68 Rex in my holding pen, and I have a stone hatchet, and soiled underpants, as my primary offense weapons.
My simple morning base check up, has turned into a clusterf&*k of biblical proportions. I finally lured the carno and Rex out into the water, using a trike that I have hit with my hatchet, and replace the wall panels quickly as they exit, so finally the carnage was over......... that is of course, until I decided to repair my torch in the dark, blindly fumbling around for a stone, I pick up a trike egg.
