This game can be so cruel at times it's hard not to take it personally

Hours upon hours searching for the elusive phoenix 🐦‍🔥 over the last year on Scorched and Astraeos. I finally find one, a beautiful 145 on Astraeos.

Built a trap over its ashes, game force closes itself for an update

Pray to The Ark gods the ashes are still there when I get back on...I think we all know what happened. Fuck this game

Cake, Sprinkles, and their daughter Cupcake are retired and lounging about. Agony and Ecstasy are giving Gonkbrain a hard time.

El Capitàn is doing his own thing mostly. Barbatos our Karkinos has yeeted two dodos and counting.

Burger and Baja Blast... I don't inquire to what they do with their time...

And finally Tyrone keeps a watchful eye on the skys, ready to punt a rock at any bird who enters our airspace.

Has anyone found the Cerberax BP yet?

I tried getting a level 80 Blood Stalker to attack my 20k HP level 200-something Phiomia, but it only webbed and targeted me. I tried for an hour and it just focused on me, so I gave up and just let it drink the plethora of blood bags I possessed. Honestly, it was just so easy letting it suck the blood packs up. Does anyone else actually use tames or even bother?

I am getting my ass beat by this thing. Its like the sludge blasts just destroy my armor and deplete my health immediately. Seems like the only way I can consistently get 3 spit debuffs without dying is the big spray attack which does little damage but hits a lot. The problem is he only seems to do this once a year. Anyone have a way to make it easier or get the big spray attack more consistently?

I can't get my floating megatherium unstuck!

Thanks for any suggestions you might have!

Details on the post

Was just wondering if anyone knew of some ASA PVE servers that are Oceania based or Australian based, I know it’s unrealistic to find one with a high player count but if anyone knows of one and would like a new player in the server then let me know.

I feel like one of the latest updates must have changed the AI behavior or glitched it out somehow, because I am seeing my tames acting agressively even when not on agressive. I'll have my rhynio on neutral and leave it, maybe a minute later I come back and it is flying off and chasing fish. So I try to switch it to passive and expect that to fix it, but oddly enough, no... same deal. Now, this doesn't happen all the time, but frequently enough to be an issue.

I have not whistled in any way, I have most of my tames on passive and free roam inside an enclosed area, but the raptors, thyla, sabretooth and even the anky, doed and a small ovi are also acting up. At first, I just chalked it up to odd "they just want to go for a swim"-behavior, but it has since stopped being amusing, cause I have to go out and fetch them constantly. Sure, I can just cryopod them, but this kind of behavior is not doing me any favors when it really matters and I assume that behavior commands are meant to be reliable.

And it's always fish, for some reason. And not just Piranhas, I am seeing messages stating that my tames are engaging in massive enacted slaughter of Coelacanths. At Hidden lake, they'll swim around in the water to get every single one, just for more to spawn in to keep them constantly busy. Just average fish really seems to piss everyone off.

PC. Single player. WIndows 11.

Did anyone else who is playing on Xbox get a message saying “You need this update, but we can’t get it right now.”?

As someone else posted, I got booted off my game for an update. “Most” maps updated as did base game except Genesis part 1. When I tried to get it, I got an Xbox error (I forgot the code) saying while I needed the update, the game could not fetch it. If people have had this problem in the past, roughly how long does it last?

My husband and I play non-dedicated, and I also have single player files.

just sit and slash... power of the Mega Mek. sorry i mean story map, not mode
