Behemoth Gates and Gateways

[Saint]

I know you guys wanted the ressource costs to be more reasonable... that's fine by me... but what the hell did you think when putting them to number no reasonably skilled character could ever possibly get to their inventory?!?!?! I can lift up to 200 points of weight atm - given the fact, that one can lift an additional ~99.5% of their weight-stat I can only get the 750 stone and 45 wood into my invenzory before the game won't let me get anything else in it.... FIX THIS BS PLEASE!

Ways to fix it:
1. Get the gates and gateways to REALLY reasonable costs ( c'mon 1500 Metal Ingots for the Gateway and another 1500 for the Gate? WTF) - you cld for example put the Stone Behemoth Gate & Gateway to 300 pcs of each wood, stone and thatch and maybe 500 Ingots for the Metal versions or 750

2. Make the Stone Behemoth Gate & Gateway a Smithy Recipe.......

And next time think of stuff like this... This just ruined my base-building-plans AND put all my Dinos to danger...

they just need to implement behemoth walls, and fix the collision system with building tan remove fence foundations and everyone will build behemoth walls. but right now building a wall is more stupid than every thing else... #arkbuildingcollisionwithground

I have some friends who are with the regular price of the gates, but for some reason, i'm still with the 750/unit =(

So what you are saying is that in the 900 hours I've played Ark, it's unfair that you,who has played 935 hours, has less? Dude, at nearly 1,000 hours, if you are complaining about behemoth gates, you have an issue.

Us "pro" players can knock out a behemoth gate in an hour of grinding. They SHOULD cost this much... they are bloody bemoth gates. They SHOULD also weigh more than 4.0 pounds in your inventory when complete.

Expect many more weight and resource tweaks as this "early-access" game is further developed.

Dev's- Keep up the great work~

I've been shaking my head so much at some of these posts I have to see a doctor.

If this is the way you intend things to be fine, but please at least address the issue, and let us know that you realize this game does need some balancing.

Of course the game needs balancing, and there's no reason for them to say they realize that. They obviously realize that. Balancing hasn't happened yet for the most part, just minor tweaks with it here and there.

The real balancing will happen later after all the content is added because, well, you need the content in the game in order to balance it all properly.

Upgrade weight? Or you place the materials in a crate as you gather them. Then when you are ready, you take them all out of the crate and craft the gate.

You can't, theres a weight check when you get stuff from boxes. 750 max

Don't get them from the box. Put them in the box. Once you have 750 stone, wood and thatch, go up to the box, open the box and then hit O on each item to drop said item onto the ground. Pick them up from the ground within 2 minutes Problem solved.

To those saying "weight check", stop and look at this:

This is a workaround to be able to BUILD the behemoth gate without having to put a SINGLE point into weight. It may be fixed next week, next month or perhaps never. Right now, this method works. Take advantage of it if you want to build a stone behemoth gateway or two.

That said, the incredible increase of materials without making an increase to health is a piss poor "fix" by the devs. It's obvious The Right Hand has never had a decent beer, but he was definitely on something when he thought a material increase was the way to solve behemoth gateway spam.

The proper fix is to leave the mats alone, but put a foundation range check that prevents people from placing a behemoth gateway if it's within X amount of range of another one.

I agree they should take that much time and materials. But with 900 hours played mainly on Private Servers and now moving to Official its a bit unbalanced. Like i said there are alpha tribes on my server that have Hundreds or THOUSANDS of Gates blocking off entire areas of the map. #1 its unsighthy as all hell, and #2 why should they have the advantage over all the new players? They already have big dinos, massive bases, massive amounts of land ... so ♥♥♥♥ it lets just make it impossible for anyone to ever catch up right? You must be in one of those alpha tribes huh.

I disagree, that limits creativity. Increasing the cost of it doesn't affect creativity at all.

[Azunai]

this is the worst of all possibilities

[Azunai]

just blow em
you can farm the explosives way faster than the matw sto build those gates :P

[kotawolf]

So.... I patched my local game last night, but couldn't patch my server... How much does all this cost now??
Stone one: 750 Stone, Wood, Thatch???

That is a bit over the top.

I've never heard of a troll building a wall, so your responses were expected.

What's stupid is a bunch of bases that wouldn't exist the way they are if they were to be built today.

All I hear is a bunch of people salty about the nerf and doing everything they can to hold on to what they have.

Can't wait for the server nuke.

[Red River]

that's why this is EA to test and try different approches. devs just throw things at us lately without giving it much thought or testing and let us figure it out for them the hardway... h0pe they won't listen to this idea, though lol
