Supply drops on Extinction
...really wild card? Really?

Go in with my army of 250 tek rexs, 10, but I kept my 2 best at the base for breeding..thankfully.

Took 30 seconds for the 10 or so wyverns and 20 spinos to obliterate everything I brought.


Don't do drugs kids, it's how you end up working for a studio like Wildcard...

Well yes the hardest drops are supposed to be quite difficult.

You were outnumbered 3 to 1 by dinos of comparable or greater power (wyvern generally beats a rex). There are any number of reasons to complain about Wildcard at the moment, sorry for your losses but this doesn't look like a good one. Either you didn't know what you'd be up against going in, in which case you paid rather dearly to have a better idea next time, or you did know and didn't bring enough, a calculation error.

I know it sucks, but thanks for posting to give others an idea of what they might be up against so they don't run into the same problem. At least you still have your breeders with which to rebuild.

HOW? I just took 6 rexs to a red drop and obliterated everything? All 220 to 250 bred ones. Sure i leveled them up but they were eating everything. The wyverns i was killing with assault rifles.

Purple drops are harder than red drops.

Purple's are quite frankly ridiculous. In reds, the wiki stats that wyverns are a "rare" spawn, while on purple they're a "very common". I activated one and watched the initail spawn take the shield down in a matter of seconds. Many of the wyverns spawn at levels over 220 easy, I think I saw about 4 at over 300 (dino finder mod makes it easy to see what you're going against). I don't know what you get from a purple, but damn it had better be good
Lot of fun the drops, you have to work for them and its great on PvE. We lost 2 of 3 gigas misc levels. But that is what your team is missing, Or a yuty perhaps for the way you are wanting to fight them. We use 3 gigas, lvl 10 lvl 60 and a 110 we were lucky to find. We use snow owls to heal in between waves and managarmr with frost . Plus 4 or 5 rexes. Good Luck, sorry about your rexes. Oh add in the Titan if you have a group that can tame it.

There was at least 10 wyverns right off the bat and all of the ones I saw murder my group of rexes were over 300, at least 5 different ones in the log.

Purple is the ONLY color that is spawning on our map. Without resorting to spawning things in there's nothing we could possibly do to combat flying, super powered wyverns who can avoid most of our attacks, and obliterate everything including metal...

Seriously, way too many drugs get passed around at WCS

This is why you experiment first, test things out, but leave yourself a chance of escape. This is how I managed to keep my wyvern despite failing the yellow and red drops when testing how badly I'd lose solo.

The rewards from these drops are far greater than the rewards from the previous loot boxes so you need to balance risk vs reward.

Also screw the corrupted gigas, wyverns and reaper kings. Those guys always suck 1V1

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
