Hello survivors
Ark is full of all kinds of stories
Funny, horror, sad, happy. so let's
cheer up a little and trade stories with each other 😊.
-Once I was in a PVP server official 350.. I was with my raptor hunting on the beach when I so two new players fighting with each other with fists
I came closer.. and.. gusts what they were fighting over a dodo corpse!! can you believe that.
I hate stupidity so I let my raptor tear them apart.
-Another story : once i was at my base yard with my dinos when suddenly a guy spawned in my base!! we looked at each other without a word for a moment then I unleashed my dinos on him ( thief catch him boys ) he started running and then he took a blow which threw him over the spikes and started running into the woods never looking back.

PvE on a single player game, Center map, early game (sub lvl 20 as I recall). I was farming some resources near my base when I saw a lvl 16 bronto with it's head in a cliff, unmoving. I thought it might be stuck, and since I was a newbie at the time, I decided to try and tame it. So I brought all of 50 tranq arrows and set off with reckless abandon.

Approached it from behind and fired my first arrow, and to my surprise the bronto turned and started charging towards me. It hadn't been stuck after all, just liked walking into walls apparently. So began a long chase up and down the beaches of the south tropical island, me desperately trying to avoid the thing's flailing tail while firing off my arrows whenever I got the chance.

Wasn't long before my stamina was giving out, and I was severely low on health after taking a few hits. What was more, I was down to my last arrow, and the thing was still coming. I couldn't run any more, so I stopped, turned, fired my tranq at the onrushing beast then sat back to await the final blow and the fateful 'You Were Killed' screen. The bronto came charging up, towering over me with it's long neck, swung it's tail back ready to strike...and promptly keeled over, unconsious.

Took me a few seconds to figure out what happened, then came a mad scamble to collect enough berries to tame it. The tame was successful though, and she has served me well as a faithful (albeit low level) cargo mule ever since. I called her Ancient Mountain, a stalwart of my dino tribe right from those early days.

That's her some time later on in the save, after I'd tamed a number of other dinos too, as we traversed the map looking for a new base location:

Me and my wife play in a cave. The cave with lava in it. She charges every spider with pure hate. (as she hate spiders irl) and killed every bat and snake like a madgirl.

Unfortunately jumping over rocks killed her as she fell in a lava pit.

She bragged about her adventures against my daughter that wanted to do the cave to.

As said I wanted to fight with my daughter in a cave. With her full riot armor and crossbow and pike she found the first creature that wanted to devour her. She was scared and fell of a cliff. She died.

After two more attempts (where she died being clumsy) I let her alone in her base and did the cave myself. Followed by 3 dung beetles.

When arriving at the base I saw her fighting a raptor.

Here the funny part: she can handle a raptop and Rex with ease. And her character can kill the cave creatures with ease as well. But the spiders and snakes are so good looking that she just doesn't dare to attack. (well done Ark, good graphics!)

So to this day my wife still brags about her glorious adventures of the caves. Where my daughter looks the other way with her eyes rolling.

When the Whooly Rhinos first came out i went out hunting. I play as a sort of northern trapper* as it is very hard to survive in the cold.
So i go out, totally forgetting the patch dropped, looking for Mammoths and trying to avoid Wolf packs with my Longneck special(scope attached).

Come over a ridge and spot one, started starring at it in awe when i hear those running paw sounds, Sure enough i got caught with my pants down, a pack of 5 wolves charge me from behind after a brutal sword fight and me at a quarter health i pull my rifle back out thinking i can probably just one shot it if i put the round in its head...
Bad idea, The rhino starts charging me and i manage to put 2 more rounds in its head, terrified im about to be gored to death because of the long reload of the Longneck i whip out my 6 shooterIsimple handgun) and unload the entire thing into it to no avail, i pull the only weapon i had left(sword broke during wolf fight) A simple spear, I pull it back and let loose. The thing falls right at my feet like that scene from 300.

Scared the crap out of me, i had no idea they were that tough.

My SE Story
I was a new character and had just built a thatch 4x4 near some water when i hear this kind of thudding or knocking sound on my wall. So i walk over to the door thinking its some player and just then my back wall breaks down and a Raptor charges through and eats me...Talk about a rude way to wake up(i had just logged back in)

Man this is interesting story I like your fighting spirit..
But having all these weapons with you it is a big gambling if lost them if something killed you..
but again I like your snowy adventure.. it makes me wanna start my own in the north :)
and I laughed when you mentioned the 300 scene..
man this is so epic.

In the north you need a lot of weapons, also if you do get stone asap. and a fire place, wall torches work too. If i died I make sure i have a duplicate set waiting at home.

A decent raptor who knocks first :)
I wish all raptors could learn from him.

The funniest story is that the developers just keep adding dinosaurs without first fixing the fundamentals of the game that renders in unplayable.

Are you possibly referring to Alpha? You know, the unoptimized content stage that all games go through?

Anyway I have a very short story about some stupid monkeys. I was taming two monkeys in the jungle one day who were trapped behind a boulder. I fed them, but they would randomly get scared of me and I had to start over constantly. Finally, they realized they could just walk around the boulder to get away. I tried taming again, but they got scared, ran into a wall, then somehow got knocked out. They woke up, and proceeded to walk right into a swarm of meganeura that shredded them apart before my eyes :D

I don't like your stories, they always end with you killing harmless people who did nothing to you.

So you dont think in Alpha its mor appropriate to actually sort out BASIC stuff, building sizes, snap points broken, how rendering is solved, server mechanics, rollbacks, stuttering, instead of adding broken ass dinos to the game, never really testing anything (since never wipeing), jsut catering to lvl + 80 players and stuff like that? Tha is alpha testing. Not just adding a new dino each week and calling that progress.

One funny story of mine was when I started on a server where a friend of mine has been playing on. When we met up, he was kind enough to give me a rifle and tranq darts so I can start taming dinos.

First thing I did with it was shoot him in the crotch. Pic related.

Pretty juvenile, I know, but what's a little fun stupidity among good friends?

Actually no. Most of that is for Beta. They do test it somewhat, or you wouldn't be able to play at all.
