terror birds op

[jacob99]

tamed 5 pachys and they all were level 45+ and had saddles and a single level 20 terror bird killed them all at the same time in 6 seconds then it came into my house and killed me, after i respawned i saw that it kept trying to get out and was completely ignoring me, i grab my spear and start stabbing it... it finally dies after 10 minutes of stabbing it in the butt while it is constantly running into the corner of my wall... THE HECK! are terror birds mini bosses in pixark unlike ark? in ark, the pachies would of slaughtered it, let alone being stabbed with a spear for 10 minutes straight, even a level 150 would have died, why are they nye invicible here!

Tame one (takes less than 15 arrows), they are way stronger than in ARK I feel like.

feel FEEL?... ya i been playing ark for about 3 years now and after playing this i can say that they are a bit stronger, ya know just a bit, only about 20 times stronger.

it is very unbalanced, the difference in power from one creature to something only slightly bigger is way to much. unlike ark where a good pachy or raptor could take a direwolf or saber, a dire or saber could take a carno or allo, a good allo or a carno could take a rex or a yuty, basically here its impossible for small to be medium small creatures, impossible for meadium small to beat medium, etc. that bad game design.

I haven't taken mine to later biomes yet, so far managed to kill every creature exept obviously stronger ones (Brontos)

lol I had 3 pachies on the first couple of hours on day 1 and 1 was lvl 106 (also all had saddles), still got murdered by a group of dung beetles... I mean... :S :S :S

I've just thrown away everything I've learnt about dino hierarchy from OG Ark and assume everything that doesn't spawn in novice area will instantly kill me in PIXARK.

Dig deep holes, kite them in and KO them with sleep arrows, or kill themselves with wooden spikes seems like the best defense working for me around my base lol.

I don't hate that most things are different from OG Ark though, it keeps the game really fresh for me. I wouldn't have spent 8 hrs on it last night if it was all the same lmao.

it kinda rediculous thou, the power difference between a freakin beetle and a hard headed dinosaur built for ramming

Something people are learning about this game is that the scaling is more like an MMO than it is like ARK. If you're trying to attack most mobs with a stone spear it's like going up to a level 100 mob in WoW as a level 50. The numbers are going to be so drastically against you that you don't have a serious chance until you gear up.

I got a really good bone steel sword and it 2 shots them.

I agree it's ridiculous as in it doesn't make sense in the real world, but then this game has magic soooo...... yup just better to assume nothing makes sense :P

ya i played wow and experienced something like that, my level 90 that i bossted from level 66 got into a level 70 dungeon by accident and nothing, even the boss could scratch me even with only the basic spawn gear for level 90. cleared the whole dungeon in a minute. i honestly thing that kind of scaling is bad because it makes everything completely invincible against anything just 1 level or size below it.

There's pros and cons to both styles of scaling. I understand wanting there to be at least some chance for a level 1 to beat a level 100, ARK has that and it makes for very interesting encounters and it works well there. But IMO, this style is better for a casual audience. This way you continually feel you are gaining power, even if you aren't getting any better at the game you are always getting more capable just by putting in the time. In the other style if you aren't very good at games, the better gear feels lackluster because you know if you encounter someone you're still very likely to die even if you outgear them haha.

so it basically for power hungry people who dont like to lose like children or "sad" people?

Yeah I agree that some dinos in PixARK are WAYYYYY more OP than in the original ARK. I had 2 phiomias (lvl 7 and lvl 27) and a pachy (lvl 48), and all of them got rekt by a lvl 48 DUNGBEETLE. Like wth?

the map shows how zones changes.. no chance with dinos from first zones against higher zones... this is why this game is not "ark with voxelbased system" but more "voxelbased system with ark+dark&light elements" huge difference most ppl forget...

but i think ppl expected an ark with other graphic, and not a "new" game with "known" items but with "new" mechanics ~

btw is the behemoth tamable also is the rex the strongest thing, thinking i should dig a very big and deep hole and lure a rex into it and hit it with hundreds of arrows , i may be able to get it.

[treevnor]

Yes the terror birds and the dung beetles are currently the best dinos in the game
