Increase Level cap, or have a way to refund points

[Simple142]

I hope the developers increase the cap again, since im max level i dont have enough points to learn the new saddles

[Zergling963]

Question what about those of us that play single player and will never play multiplayer! Hence essentially the join a tribe comment doesnt work for us! And we have to try and carefully allocate all our points! I have managed to allocate points to the new stuff but once I hit level cap I will have no more points left cause I used them for wood/stone building and cooking/gardening essentials and pipes for irrigation etc! Including gear and saddles! I have cut out a lot of things and I am still not going to have any leftover points and I have already reset and started again so many times due to issues of not having engram points being assigned etc that I just dont want to start again and I dont get high drops really around my area at all!

So now I wonder do I really spend my last few points on the metal pipes etc that I really need for my cliffside base or do I just keep the points in case of new saddles or keep spending hours trying to find my dinos when they vanish on me or I forget to set my petra on follow so loose it when attacked etc! So now I have to go back to get the compass and gps so I can get the transponder as I am sick of spending hours of in game time trying to find lost dinos or when I die my gear! But it means I am totally out of points if they bring out new saddles etc!

So how does that work then?? You cant say join a tribe when single player is on your own and you never intend to play multiplayer as you just dont want to deal with the griefing or having your work destroyed etc! So really for us single players it does come down to us litterally running out of points since we dont have tribe mates to swap between for our engram points and to share different items etc with to save points!

Just my opinon on this! But I personally am hoping we get a level cap increase etc so I can go and have points saved for when new saddles are released etc as its no fun when you cant use the new items in single player cause you have spent all your current points on getting the necessities you need in the game since you just dont get the drops etc to get teh required blueprints so to comprimise you spend the points on the saddles just so you can use the mount etc or else you would never get anywhere in the game cause you dont have the saddles you cant get to teh drops that have the blueprints for the saddles so you are stuck with dinos you cant use cause you dont have saddles!

But yes just my thoughts on it all

350+ points left max level join a tribe or only learn things you ned

[Shardaron]

I came up with an idea for a blueprint scanner that would reimburse your engram points if you already unlocked the engram.

Check it out, maybe that would be something that would let you do what you want, its the second idea at the bottom btw.

That is exactly what I have done and I will have no engram points left! (well once I hit level 71 if I go with everything I planned so far) So its not totally applicable in my situation to say that am still tossing up weather to go with the things I need or instead skip metal piping and just go with teh stone pipes I have instead and just replace them when needed! As that will save quite a few points! But yes will think about it then decide what I stick with or not

And as I said the join a tribe comment not applicable to single player! Wish people wouldnt say that when some of us have no interest in joining a tribe or playing multiplayer

I'm lvl 65 with over 500 unused points waiting for me to spend any time I need something. I don't waste them on anything until I need it right that second, because you could easily find a blueprint for it later down the line, & then it becomes wasted engram.

Lol getting to lvl 65 is just getting started in this game I got 2 65 in 3 day had more points than that left but trust me they wont last long .Farming bluey's is good of course and can only help but as so much has been added an increse in level cap is only fair .Wont do you any harm .tust me.

+1 I don't think the level cap increase would do any harm either :)

But I have worked out how to have 87 points left for a few future saddles but it means forgetting about metal piping and sticking wiht the stone piping and repairing it every time I need too as stone will fit in with the stone and seperate wood buildings I am doing for my dino place :)

Of course it doesnt help when there are pre-requisite engrams to unlock stuff you haven't found in blueprints.

Like I had already built a generator from a found blueprint. But to unlock straight electrical cable you need to learn electric generator.

So even after finding the blueprint from a drop I STILL had to learn the ****** engram!!!

[Zergling963]

Yep exactly! hence why all my engram points are being used up! And I have to cut back on something I needed in order to have a few points leftover in case we get future saddles and no lvl cap increase!

Yeah I'm 71 with 500 points leftover I need stuff to put the points in not the other way around

It is probably different for those of you who play in tribes to single player people! As we dont have tribe members to distribute different items between and hence need to allocate all the points ourselves to have the necessary items!

The Engram system is a little flawed I'd say. When I started I was struggling my way to higher tier stuff going. I'll suffer at this stage of the game to have more points at this stage. Then when I finally got to those items to unlock it had pre-requirements.

The game forces you to invest points into ♥♥♥♥ you would never even use.

It is possible for ppl to overlevel and and make honest mistakes. I almost did not have enough stat points for oxygen to farm oil.

I have been putting points in toughness because at that time I was farming metal at a mountain and wanted to handle the cold better.

Then I tried to farm oil and found out how low my oxygen was despite eating that food that slows down oxygen usage.

But I still have a few more levels before reaching max, so I should have enough points for oxygen.

However, it is entirely possible for me to overlevel and not find out I need to save for oxygen. That's why some form of reset is needed. Even making it a 1 time deal is enoughn

I had been 65 for over a week at the time. I'm currently 70 on another server with over 800 engram points left. Only 3 tribe members.

As I said already, don't learn things until you need them. Blueprints are stupidly easy to find. I found over 25 blueprints yesterday alone, just grabbing supply drops as I flew passed them.

Edit: They also almost always have increased the level cap when adding new engrams to learn.

Doesnt help for us single players that keep trying to get dinos but having them die by accident cause we were ambushed on the way home etc! And also it doesnt help that single players need to put the points into things cause they cant share it around between tribe members as everyone keeps saying to join a tribe! Well sorry but no I will never join a tribe or ever play multiplayer its just not me! And I rarely get to go out to try and get blueprints since having limited dinos but still trying to get more I have to asscess the risk on my flyer first and more than half the time the high drops dont spawn anywhere near me! If there is too many carnivores around I cant go with that drop cause it means the risk of my mount and loosing all my items and you dont have people to back you up like multiplayer does cause you are playing single player!

I have only put points into things I need and I have managed to possibly have 94 points left over by getting rid of some other things I was going to get! Otherwise its not nearly so easy for single players to keep so many points like those who play in tribes in multiplayer do! And I for one will never be playing multiplayer in this game due to all the bad things that happen with griefing, destroying peoples hard work, raiding, pvp I hate all those things and would much rather play on my own! As at least then I can enjoy the game how I want too not have people ruining things for me!

If you're playing single player only, you can set the engrams up however you want...

Edit: You also may want to look into an unofficial PvE server. They generally don't have those problems.
