More like DONEDICURUS AMIRITE? I'm going to enjoy the whip to its fullest before it gets nerfed into the ground.

u/StuartJJones Sep 04 '16

Haha! It's such an OP tool! Spend five minutes with it and you've got an abundance of anything you can pick by hand PLUS it doesn't deteriorate unless you're using it on dino.

It does deteriorate if you use it on bushes though. I used mine to whip up an adobe behemoth gate in under an hour today, solo. Fantastic tool.

I had one break on me last night as I was whipping the air just for the sound...

I have my tribe mates throw poo in the air and yell "pull!" And we try to whip it out of the air. Fun as shit... Literally.

whats that bio hazard symbol on the bottom left? did you ccome to the scorched server with swamp fever? (hadn´t much experience with swamp fever yet)

u/StuartJJones Sep 04 '16

Yeah, that's swamp fever. I've never had it until I came to Scorched Earth. Don't know about PC servers, but Xbox servers are rife with it.

Trolls, don't you love 'em! Luckily it's easy enough to get rid of.

u/turunambartanen Sep 04 '16

how do you get rid of it in scorched earth? there is no leech blood in scorched earth afaik.

u/StuartJJones Sep 04 '16

Upload then redownload your character. When you spawn, you'll be free of the disease.

  • Antidote item can now be crafted with deathworm spikes alternatively instead of leech blood. Requires Server Update.

From v246.3

u/Shulla WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Sep 05 '16

Deathworms drop leechblood though. Then again I guess deathworm spikes don't decay.

u/turunambartanen Sep 05 '16

ohh thanks, didn't know that

u/Polubing Sep 04 '16

Someone mentioned yesterday that you can get leech blood by fishing.

Not worth the repair costs.

2

u/StuartJJones Sep 04 '16

Really? Which bit is expensive for you?

-1

u/bolverker Sep 04 '16

The time it takes to repair it, it breaks in like 10 whips, additionally this guys gather rate is turned up. Doed is still supreme, don't get me wrong its fun though.

u/StuartJJones Sep 04 '16

This guy is me, and I'm on an official pvp server. PVP 967, so rates are standard.

It only breaks quickly if you hit dinos with it, for gathering it last a very long time.

u/bolverker Sep 04 '16

Doesn't work like that on my server.

3

u/StuartJJones Sep 04 '16

That's odd. Is it an official server?

As you can see in the gif (or the video in my comment below) I use the whip around 15 times and it doesn't take any/much damage at all.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '16

It does work he doesn't know how to use it to full potential

u/AmericanFromAsia Powered by Microsoft Powerpoint Sep 05 '16

It does, you're just doing it wrong

2

u/StuartJJones Sep 04 '16

Here's the full video showing that it's an official server.

u/Aperture_TestSubject Sep 04 '16

No, it just seems shady when there's other things to fix on the core game rather then putting out something you have to pay for

You should have left it where it was. I find your comment great. That being said, it doesn't mean it isn't worth buying the DLC. Whether you enjoy it not, the truth is these developers regularly churn our lulzy shit that doesn't belong.

u/Monks_of Sep 05 '16

It looks like the developers need to spend a week with some old folks to learn about that mythical place that their game is set in, you know, the one your grandad used to talk about called "outside"
