Can't stay online long enough to tame?

[Yobymmas]

I am 14 years old and thus i need to do my homework, need to go to bed on time, need to go to school and this leaves me with very little time to tame stuff with my friends. So how can i solve this?

High tame rate server?

[EzRyder]

if your playing on an official server there isnt much you can do but maybe get someone else to help, join a tribe or w/e
as ghost suggests you can adjust the server rates for hosted and SP games so you would have to either know the dev (on ded private) or host one yourself to get faster tame rates if you cant find one that suits you

[Scheneighnay]

Play solo or on an unofficial server with boosted rates.
Ark is unplayable unless you no-life it otherwise.

The game's design is odd in that it's designed both for you to be playing 24/7 (single player achieves this because the game stops when you do, obviously), and for you to to be in a tribe.
You're never realistically going to be able to play the game how the devs designed it.

whats your problem? tell me one tame that takes longer then 3 hours with its preffered food?
Or play on the weekend when there is taming event.
Can tame a max lvl rex in under an hour.
I guess the problem is that you are one of those kids with a attention span of a goldfish.
Just l2p...

Tell that to my 6 hour stego tame, unless you think it's necessary to make a 300-dino kibble farm any time you want to tame anything.

300 dinos. lol... oh wait... you were SERIOUS?

Please tell me you're at least using vegetables in the absence of a couple of junk sarcos?

Tell me you aren't this stupid.

Maybe I am. What did I get wrong?

Nothing that I can see.

Stupid is thinking you need 300 dinos to make kibble... or thinking that there is no benefit of using veggies over berries.

Stupid is not understanding onomatopoeia, and vegetables (for most herbivores) only impact taming effectiveness, not time. Or at least it was the case when I tamed it.

Who said anything about time? If you're spending 6 HOURS to tame, I'd *expect* you to be seeking the best tame possible. The *quality* is why I asked if you used vegetables.

If you were thinking about quality, you never would have mentioned vegetables to begin with because nothing anyone was talking about involved quality or what I was using to tame the stego.

What ARE you on about? A mejo tamed 150 is a loss of about 10 upgrades. Why would anyone sit there for 6 hours losing taming quality because they're too lazy to do veg?

Play it how you like mate but don't use LazyPlay™ as an excuse for taming taking too long. Junk sarco kibble would knock ~5 HOURS off the tame. That's why we have kibble and you don't need 300 dinos to get it.

L2P.

And here you are still going off on your strawman.

I'm not on about anything. You're going on about quality, when nobody but you has been talking about it.

Clearly this game isnt for 14 year olds on a school night.

Or anyone with a job, or in general anything better to do than play ark 24/7.
