Just a correction, the Ark wiki states Rex base damage is 60. The Spino AoE attack is also much larger than that of a Rex.

I also play on a PvE server so really there is nothing my Spino has to worry about.
From the wiki:

"As of patch 173.0, the Base Damage for a Tyrannosaurus has been buffed from 50 to 80."

And I just checked patch notes all the way from current patch to 173-- that's the last time that Carno or Rex damage was touched.

"Base Carno damage buffed from 30 to 50, base Rex damage buffed from 50 to 80"

Yes, I go way too far to prove a point But basically, the wiki can be assumed to be wrong when it says its base damage is 60 without citation. Barring a freak occurance, the Rex will always out-damage the Spino, and will always have more health, and will always have more stamina to make attacks with to begin with (the stamina is the closest of the three stats, but the growth difference in wild Rexes is substantial enough that I can say this quite confidently)

oh cool I didn't know they buffed the Carno and the Rex, I might have skimmed over those patch notes as I usually see what is new vs what has changed.

I have been wanting to tame some more high level creatures and I will add the Carno and Rex to my list.

As a side comment, I hope they do a quality of life update to sorting. While being able to sort is a huge step in the right direction, having the inventory STAY sorted vs reverting back to the jumbled mess would be REALLY nice.

Mhm. I'm still kind of partial to carnos just because they don't stomp on enemies thus they don't 'cause flights of dimos to attack me randomly. But can't deny the rexes are the best straight up fighters.

The Carno is basically a stepping stone to getting the larger stuff. Because you need a lvled up carnivore to get lots of prime to get the best taming efficiency(assuming you aren't using kibble).

They're also relatively easy to tame, so you can get a pack fairly easily. Not a bad deterrent for a low level base.


On another note, the latest update is awesome.

Well right now we have a pack of rexes defending ours, so not a problem any more.

Also, I love the new darts.

I really dislike how Piranha attack everything now, at least before they left my spino alone but now they chase everything that goes in the water. I could see them hunting in packs and leaving big stuff alone if there are less than 3 or 5 but going solo vs something that is so much larger is dumb.

Heh, just raided some fools who left all their dinos on passive and a convenient stone gate which was the entrance to their all metal base. Made out like a bandit, tranqed all their dinos too and took the stuff they hid on them.

The new darts apply all of their tranq effect instantly, unlike the arrows which apply it over four seconds-- and, furthermore, has a larger effective tranq value because of how torpor drain.works.

So Mosasauruses and dino breeding are going to be added next week, Wednesday I think. That'll be interesting...

Yup, I need to tame a Quetzal now before the breeding goes in, because I get the feeling we are hitting cap immediately and it's gonna stay that way for a while.

We have a quetzal, it's a bit goofy looking. And I absolutely despise the platform mount on it. I need a normal mount for it.

Yeah. As it is, I'm sticking with Argentavises as my main air transport for goods. A small flight of high-level silver-birds can easily transport a substantial quantity of goods a considerable distance, while being considerably easier to tame than a quetzal.

Especially for servers where the levels reach in to the triple digit ranges...

We killed the Broodmother.

She was disappointingly easy. Was five of us, two riding rexes, one riding a carno, the other two shooting with longneck rifles, and she... was less of a threat than an alpha carno.

Update's out-- Dino Breeding coding attempt #1 and Mosasauruses, as well as various balance issues such as a shotgun buff and the ability to sit on chairs and benches.

How does it work? Nothing on the wiki yet

Please tell me the baby's lvl is dependent on the parents. I have two mated max level rexes.

Someone said average of the parents. That's with Dilo's they had hatch
Most the time was spent trying to maintain a constant heat source....AC...think someone had five AC's going.
Then type of structure they were trying it in and after that tribes started the attempt to hatch eggs in different structures.
Think stone was the winner with 2 AC's and a campfire (sparkpowder)
It was interesting Global convo.....

Huh. We bred some dodos just fine in a thatch pen with torches. Does each dino have special rules for incubation?

Babies eat from feeding troughs at 10% matured and later.

It varies based off of the type of dino. Dodos it'll happen very quickly, rexes will be a bit more slowly.

Hey guys. The server I'm on is looking for more players. Only about 7 active players. Lots of open space available. And you get entered to win cool swag if you recruit anyone to the server too.

The server is called Alcarins24/7PvP5xTame2xGthr5xEXP

If you join, send me a PM with your steam and survivor name so I can get credit for you

My tribe is also recruiting. Look for House Stark led by Bobthebutcher.

My tribe relocated to 439 Official Server
VAC made a huge difference but since we were the only major tribe the Alliance had we decided to screw 309 over. We left and it killed the server. Think the highest I've seen on 309 is 7 peeps. That Alliance imploded on itself and the Chinese tribe killed off their former Allies
