Has anyone been getting random set time where hatching a egg or mammals gestation times are crazy high I seen mine going up and down randomly sometimes as high as 20 real days..........

I did some testing and it seems to only be the ocean map that this slider don't work on.

It's broken I tested it by mating lions and it lock set to a random time and messing with the mating time seems to do nothing to change it. The game seems to be really broken and will be that way until Gene 2 drops as it seems to be they main focus.

Thos are all my tames and buildings that when I walked out of is now off the island they was on and floats above or in the ocean........   It's a good thing I didn't put much time into that new start..... because that was a serious. "how in the holy hell they screaw this up this bad?" next time im building a house boat screaw being on land for now.....

Sorry, I was just reading reddit and posts here, which put me in a bad mood. Silly things about people losing their animals and the missing patch notes/stealth updates. My comment was knee-jerk response to the shutting the game down thing. I have 4k hours according to steam, and i know these guys can code. I have more hours in ark also.

P.S. if any dev or community rep is reading, I think the lack of interaction on these forums may have contributed to the comment. It doesnt take too much to try to connect with your player base, surely? As boomer said in some post yesterday iirc, there was promises of communication here

they just dropped a update few hours ago that nerf the players and make it harder.....  Im up for the challenge but there's still the odd case of the animal lvl cap most want answers to why, that at max difficulty you can only tame lvl79 animals so they can still lvl up 80 up can't. the update makes you start a new character so your last toon owned stuff well.... you can't use them... so you have to start fresh that is np with me. but have to lvl with some people upset on the animals do to how easy it is for tames to get squashed by anything really.... I like playing on hard but doing so the animals are just pointless to tame so you have to diel difficulty down a lot for tames to have a chance.

layered preventions?

you should always expect to lose your ship, and if you don't you deserve to lose it / make a funny post on this forum

I always expect to lose a few it's why you build extras and up that ways to slow the rate that you lose them. because if you lose them that fast? Maybe you shouldn't be captaining a ship sailing the high seas.....  

well, as from what I heard the beds on ships can randomly bug out and you can't select them and if you do they seem to go on a infinite cool down. noticed it on the galleon I built sailed to a powerstone area and slapped down a small shack with a bed. scouted the place and died to a element and noticed I could not spawn or pick my ship bed. Not sure it it's bug or a way of keeping players from respawning on a ship that's being raided or attacked, but if not for the shack my galleon would be half way across the map from me. So yeah, it's easy to lose a ship in the game current unfinished state. best to have layered preventions to make losing your ship as low as you can. because it hits you when you least expecting it.

Wat.

I can understand the concept of mermaids being a mild annoyance, but losing a ship to them? How would you lose one, much less multiple? 

Also, who gets pulled off of a ship by one, ever?

This thread...

Then you must have you game on easy or rarely sailing into a hard zone... because it's easy to lose a boat if you caught unprepared. That seems to have happened to a lot of players or this thread wouldn't exist. It's just a thread asking for tips on how to counter them.

True on the laying down on pc but it's tougher to do fast if you play console for now. Im sure they going to find a way to patch the emote to dodge mermaids. Just throwing a easy way of going about if they patch the ways we use to get by them. The problem with railing or walling a ship is if it's too high you are forced into first person wheel view. I tend to just kill them. Would be cool to get a item called mermaid tear that give you temp waterbreathing.

it'll only stop if you fell off with no one on the wheel. tested it a few times and seems having a npc at the wheel sometimes cause the ship to keep sailing without you. I even know the lvl cap of animal is 79 that gains, 80 or above gain no xp. They lvl above this just can't be tamed at or above lvl 80 or the game xp locks them. im hoping this just a temp thing until the game is more flushed out and ready or animals that are tame are screwed in placed that are hard. Only way for them to live right now if pumping health,stam,and damage with little carry weight.

When I had to sail through mermaids for one of the blackwood powerstones. NPC at the wheel. Grapple to the ship and then T Sail the direction I'm facing.
I have a schooner named "Mermaid's Bane" has 16ish (five per side and three at the back and front)  npc mounted swivel guns. Also has half walls around the edge of the ship.
I do wish they would add a accodiand tune that stops mermaid call.

yeah it's a pain.... grapple do work but you still run the risk of missing your shot and the ship sailing off without you. the animals will block you from moving or jumping more then long enough to sail out the circle or if you have a strong animal use it to kill the mermaid. I use a giraffe do to it's AoE. it's raised for sea travel so point are mostly in health,damage,and stam. to deal with sharks and other sea life that seem to gather up when you take down ships of the damned. This way you save ammo and avoid the risk of losing a ship completely.

have easy avoid mermaids by keeping a mount close as soon as im dismounted off the wheel I jump on my animal and let the ship sail out the circle with no trouble. they are pest tho…. being I found this out by luck do to running into my first one wondering why I dismounted and stuck on my giraffe feet mounted and saw the yellow ring and debuff I had. so I never sail without  animal or two next to the wheel now
