Crystal Isles Rock Drake Nests but no Drakes?

[Silke]

What kind of lazy nonsense is that? Went to have a look and saw the nests were still there. So I hung out for a while to see if a drake or egg would spawn. Nothing. Checked online. Oh, no more drakes on the Crystal Isles. Ok, I can understand that certain creatures help sell DLCs and thus are limited. Fine, no problem, devs gotta eat too, but for crying out loud, leaving the nests is somewhere between sloppy and lazy.

Not just that but adding Basilisks. When they require Rock Drake Eggs, and Magmasaur eggs to tame...Kind of a messed up thing there

Drakes were removed by WC. The mod version is/was different.

Yes, I've noticed that too. Probably meant to encourage people to buy Ab and Genesis. Oh well, I play singleplayer anyway and it's nice to finally see the Great Valley and the Tundra finished.

I had to use simple spawners to put in the rock drakes in a spot on my server. Like unless you run a cluster, your forced to use a mod just to spawn them in

I've tried the simple spawners once when I decided to build my main base on The Known World map but in the end I figured I can just as well go from map to map and gather the creatures I want.

Going out on a limb but, perhaps they left nests intact to make a companion mod easier on the author. Like valguero. Some people are getting the eggs to spawn by using the Simple Spawners mod fyi.

Maybe because Rock Drakes are part of the DLC and they want people to BUY THE DLC

ark is paytowin if you didnt realize. if you are missing the season passes, then as soon as they open clusters, you are screwed.
this genesis thing now tops all other DLCs in terms of paytowin.
astrocetus basebombing from safe distance.
magmasaurus basecannoning from safe distance.
the list goes on.
absolute garbage human beeings.

Silly necro rant by you but...

Given there are 60,000+ unofficial servers vs the 1300 official ones where modded content allows one to play with any creatures on any map and resources as well, all you're ranting about is where the majority of the players of the game choose to not play.

Also, players do not have to own the dlc's on the official servers in order to own dinos from those dlcs either, They can simply ask someone else to get for them either in charity or trade. Only the maps one does not have access to and as said already, thats a non issue for the majority of the player base.

I'd like to retract my initial statement. After having recently installed the dev kit and trying to figure out how a map is actually made, I have to say that I would have totally left the nests in too. Sidenote: my brain hurts.

Everyone, including those without the DLC, have access to all creatures by either cheating or modifying the spawners.

The DLC are basically just maps.

They have also left in the option of crafting a rock drake saddle even though they aren't available in the game anymore. It's a bit sloppy if you ask me.
