The 8 grids around the center have the stones. You should see 9 grey stones (q per island). Note the entrance to the cave is NOT where the stones symbols are. Like Percieval said best is to find an easy hydra farm, get keys and run em. If you have extra folks (even with all stones) they can get extra keys for you.

Alt tab and use Google.translate.com Ive had several conversations in other languages with relatively few issues. Its not hard, but does require some effort (god forbid)

Loo, sue those trees then! Honestly I think the label issue is from the lack of a client update to correct tooltips. They changed em server side but need to push a ptach for client to reflect. (WoW does the same thing w tooltips)

That building bug is even worse this time around... place 50 pieces, replace 20 others.. Hopefully they have some news on bug fixes in addition to new items/features

Yeah, I think the desync is driving most of the frustation, Ive been 30 yards away (based on client) and been hit miltiple times. Also seen an occasional difference in feed times on client vs server. (Only a few seconds, client will say can be feed, but takes 2-3 seconds before it actually feeds, latency ~70ms) This excludes the giraffe spin, which seems to be a consistant check every 5 seconds for clipping. (Ive put a few in really bad spots just to time that out)

Like Pattus said, need new parents into the mix. Basically you breed in the best stats then breed in better stats frlm another tame. Ie 1) Hp of 100, Stam 100, Melee 40 2) Hp 75, Stam 75, Melee 100 You breed until the HP, Stam from #1 and melee from #2 comes out in a kid. Kid) HP 100, Stam 100, Melee 100 Next you tame another and its got say Hp 125. Now breed the kid + #3 untill Hp125, Stam 100, Melee 100. Rinse/Repeat. Mutations are a rare chance to change a stat ie Melee from 100 to 125. They are not super common but if you breed a bunch youll get 1 eventually. Other than mutations, the only way to increase stats is to tame en masse to get lucky on that stat rolls.

Ive shot 3 or 4, and walked away from others bc of how bad it can get. At this point, when i get pissed i stop taming for the day.

@Sydhart Dont forget the spinning/clip check every 5 seconds. Fuck giraffe taming.

Thats just it, buying a tame isnt lazy, you had to go get gold to buy said tame. Having someone else breed for you isnt lazy, if your out doing other meaningful activities for the company. Im not a huge fan of treasure mapping, but love breeding. So I breed, others map. I supply better bears, they get gold, then when a good stat is up for sale they can buy it to feed my habits. As to the iq on the forum, i dont think its the forum, it feels like the whole internet has gotten really dumb over the past year.

I mean dont get me wrong, i wouldnt complain about a 50% reduction in breed times/cooldowns, but really not needed. Breeding really isnt that bad anymore w the 10% trough fix back in s2.

Yeah more decorations would be amazing. Lamp posts (auto fill and auto on/off with npc on lever would be nice) glass windows, etc. Used to be able to declare war in pve but it was a mutual thing, would be nice to bring that back since it wasnt an always/serious endevor ( @Gortok hint, lets us opt in on pve, instead of opt out and being forced onto a pvp server, because we all know there will be mandatory/forced pvp grids if you do that...)

Well they certainly have my attention. Ive always thought the focus should be having crew to work your island instead of tames. Hopefully this is a step in that direction. I agree its one less thing for us PvErs, but one Im fine with (you should still be able to harvest for those large projects/to accelerate material income)... but a tame should be an early game setup and not nearly as powerful as they currently are. (Althought there should be a big step up if the tame was bred with imprint bonus) Like you Im also looking forward to the trade winds, will be neat to finally see that too.

So it seems the floor takes the decay timer of the item on top, so smithys take something like 40days? To decay before you can demo

Dont stop there! Put the lasers on the sharks!

Meanwhile, I like typing in "cheat fly on" in chat followed up with a "weeeeeeeeeeeee!" Doesnt work but it triggers sooo many people

@McDangles Yes my 1st bear is always a trap w lots of deaths, after that its open taming/no pen. It looks like they fixed the flight mechanics, season 3 they would get up and always run away, now they usually come after your bear when they get up. If the biome is right, just grow a crapton of potatoes.

@McDangles Tamed 3 bears (from a bear) yesterday and it worked as expected. Once bolad move the bear 10-15 yds away and come up from the right side of the bear. Just close enough to feed. I tend to back away after that, but did watch a company member just sit in that spot too. Those tames were a vacation compared to the eles/girs @Derfel yeah w/o using a bear they like to chomp but once you have 1 bear it should be easier. On Eles/Giraffees be ready to die. Alot. Definitely helps to have other people there ready to jump in for a feed when you get killed. Naked I usually get 3 feeds in before a death, make sure you have 2 beds nearby.

Have you tried to whistle him to follow then run out of render distance? Sometimes the signs will derender and they will try to run to you.

Talk to speed man, hes been doing all that bear taming. Ive been busy dying ever 3rd feed to Eles/Girs. Its a pita but honestly after the 1st its even easier since you can free tame off the back of a bear. Giraffee and Eles are terrible, but i think thats the nature of the beast plus said glitches. Im ok with some kind of tranq, the issue w arks system is the 4-12+ IRL hours to tame shit. 10-20 min is ok, much more than that and I lose interest. I think the real solution for Atlas is a limiting of tames (kill the 6x etc) and focus on lumber mills/mines/automated gathering via crew. Gets you off islands, more out to sea (since the crew is gathering)

Yeah, fuck Arks taming system. I like the knock down, feed system. Much faster (key here) and more engaging than Arks. They do need to fix the location dsnyc and glitchyness, but bringing in the Ark system isnt the solution.

I mean, they litterally said 8pm is when they start maintenance and to expect it to take about 45min. So definitely up by 12pm PDT July 4th.

Hehe hope to run i to ya on wipe. Hoping we can get our company back together, honestly this game is a ton of fun in a full company, always something happening. Youll know me when ya see me

If your boycotting the game, why are you still here?

Ghost, you can also use wall hooks on the bottom of the ceiling tiles as well

@Nami @Gortok Welcome! Glad to have you onboard, I look forward to hearing more news soon(tm)! Map looks neat, cant wait to see island locations on it, I think it will be interesting to say the least. Will we be able to go from A1 to A11 or A1 to K1? Also looking forward to more news on the PvE situation. As others have noted combining 450 servers into 121 servers may cause some overpopulation/Xbox issues.. can you confirm if there will be 2 server groups (ie 2 11x11 server groups) for pve on map release/patch day or just the one server group (ie 1 11x11 server group) Thanks, Gin
