Disappointed with Fear Evolved

[Nemesis]

First off, the content for Fear Evolved sounds great.

However this has been my experience so far (time spent trying to do Fear Evolved content)-
-about an hour of killing spiders and bats with tranq arrows, found out later non-violent tame, gave up on bats when I thought of a monkey that can fly…
-5 hours on rex roaming the land for skeleton skins, found 2 alphas and a stego, no skins were awarded. (tried both accessing inventory before eating, and eating corps with dino)
-3 same as rex but on a bird, nothing found
-12 hours with tribe trying to find and kill dodorex, found the initial spawn after update, but still were getting ready. After that never found it again. Found out later that was a good thing, would have been very unhappy to lose 5 210+ rexes.

So, to this point I have gotten 1 skin and hours of boredom, and a few tombstones and pumpkins.

The current passive tame of shoving ♥♥♥♥ up animals asses is just........... well just horrid.

*Um, yes. Apparently you cannot tame the Onyx or the Spiders.
*It does take a long time to find dino skins and get them, but if you are on your own server, try resetting the world and map. Maybe that would help you find some more dinos that have the skin.
*Dodorex is astonishingly hard to kill. I heard that a lvl 1 Dodorex has 150,000 health.
*I had the same reaction as you did too, and disappointed.
*Remember that ARK is still in it's early age and has LOTS of bugs.

666666,5 health'''

Your problem with the skins is the following: Carnivore skins are only for ALPHAs, not regulars. Try camping at the Dead Island in the north-east since it has plenty of the hardest carnivores in the game, and have a much higher chance of spawning Alphas (at least from my experience).

For herbivores, you'll just have to scour. Brontos are the rarest, but I have about 5 Stego costumes. Trikes are middle-ground. Skeletal Stegos can be hard to spot since the general outline from a distance makes them look just like a regular, but keep searching. It is a pain, but if you have admin priviledges, spawn them in.

I absolutely love this event.

I do too, however their really is an issue with the passive taming for the bats and spiders. :( Maybe because I have been wanting spiders and bats for so long that I am bit more frustrated than I normally be, but I never had this much trouble with the giant apes.

I'm more disappointed that the server I play on is being DDoSed and I'm not getting a chance to utilize the event.

I had a tribemate say that the best way to tame the bats is to make a small house with 2 walls, ceiling, and a door frame. Run through so that it tries to follow through. When it does just place the 4th wall trapping it inside. Guess could work for spiders too.
Please note I haven’t tested it.

No spiders get pissy and start aggroing the walls, I tried a taming pen. Im sure bats will be no different. That said i saw a successful tame where a guy had a wall of gates over a good chunk of shoreline and that worked, the pen was HUGE however., as in you could fit 20 brontos in it without feeling cramped.

Try it again.

This time, build another row of walls on top all around.

When you've done that, find out which wall it's attacking and replace it with a fresh wall.

Apes do the same thing and this works to drop their aggro.

If you don't build a second level of walls, it maintains line of sight and never loses aggro.
If you don't replace the wall before it's broken, he'll see you and aggro another wall or you if he gets out.

Edit : Just want to state that I don't know if this works the same on spiders/bats. This is just my experience from the same problem with apes.

Yeah, taming the bats is pretty annoying. I personally hate spiders and want no part in them so I haven't really attempted timing one. Ugh, spiders.... *shudders*

I have never had issues with apes :/ These spiders are a whole new story :(

in case your interested I expressed my feeling sabout the event here

feel free to add your own opinions. Over all, the even failed, but it didn't have to. It's very sad to see some amazing ideas be wasted by poor execution.

the complaints in this and other threads are not about BUGS, these are intentional choices the developers have made.

and they are utterly useless to every single casual playing player they have. They think this game is a MMO played only by huge tribes.

I would think with the numbers this game has playing that a lot more of the people hate the direction the developers are going with time sinks and hardship more then enjoy it, and a lot less are from huge tribes that it seems to be made for, of course I don't have ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stats who knows.

I know for my personal server, I'm making a minecraft "wanna be" mod to remove a lot of these time sinks.

Who's to say the event failed? There are NO statistics saying that the event failed. That is YOUR opinion. In MY opinion, the event was VERY successful, and that I hope they do many more like this one in the future.

Normally i'd stay out of these discussions, being on a private server with a very low population ( about a dozen people, only two of which are online at any given time, myself included.)

But.... you want more events where 95% of the content is off-limits, locked, or flat out annoying enough to turn off everyone playing it?

None of us feel like cheesing a kill off a dodorex, so that's out. Passive taming a bat? Huge laugh there. Skeletal dinos being rare, and costume drops rarer (unless you're me. 100% drop, only lost one costume due to internet crapping out).

I play this game to have fun (which admittedly, is most of the time. No naysaying here), but at the same time, i'd like to experience the content available, you know?

From a SP guy.

* Dodorex. I could never kill it alone even if it was possible for me to find it alone. I like the shadow on the moon though, adds a bit of spooky atmosphere.
* Spiders and bats. Not sure what I think there, on the fence all I have done so far is kill a spider or two.
* I have pumpkins, scarecrows and gravestones all of which are very common and got boring but ignorable after 15 minutes or so. I could move them and carve the pumpkin if I wanted to but that would take 30 minutes or so I suppose. Harmless.
* Skins. Might be cool in MP but Alphas are more something to defend against than go looking for in SP. Nice that the Alphas got a makeover but no skins for me I think.
* Zombie Dodos. Funny.
* Candy Corn drops. Eye candy, halloween stuff in them would have been nice or maybe I am just unlucky but I did stop hunting for them pretty quick.

We lost 5 180+ rexs to the DodoRex just a few hours ago on 369... Gotta love the festivities... The others were able to escape because it chased one after the first 4 fell.
