>>5950103She did. The game is actually cancer without boosted rates, i always played a one man tribe so I'd know. These girls would not have lasted as long if it wasn't boosted, only some of the more addicted ones. Looking at the streams i think they have it at at least 5x. You have to grind for like 2 weeks grinding 6k iron ingots to get a industrial forge to... melt iron faster. The endgame is insanely grindy.
Also it's a major time commitment. Take raising dinos. I'll use the giganotosaurus as the example, but all of them are quite hard. You get a fertilized egg from having two tamed Giganotosaurus breed (they are basically the strongest dinosaur, also kinda rare, especially at a level you want to tame) the eggs take a full week to hatch, not ingame time, a literal week. After that, once it hatches, you have like 2 minutes to claim it as yours or else it starves to death. Now, you claimed him, good job! That was the easy part. The Giganotosaurus baby goes through an insane amount of food, so if you leave it alone in the first 24 hours without feeding it every... 5 minutes, it starves to death. You have to stay completely glued to the screen, taking care of the baby, for 24 irl hours, and that's just so he can last a few hours without dying of hunger, you still need to take care for like a week, and it takes two full weeks to get to adult stage. Since you're glued to the baby to make sure it doesn't die, you'll need someone to go grind stupendous amounts of meat for you to give to the baby, making it virtually impossible to do this alone.
Did i mention the imprint system? I did not huh. See, if you want your baby dino to grow strong and actually be worth your time, you'll need to manually do some tasks for the baby every 3 hours on the dot, be it taking it for a walk, petting it, or giving it extremely rare food. You have to do this every 3 hours, on the dot, for 2 weeks, or your dinosaur will come out subpar and simply not worth the time.
If you did all that, congratulations, you now have a dinosaur that can reach levels up to 400,where taming can get you only as far as 260 or so. Your dino is a god in stats. Of course, however, he can't do SHIT against certain enemies out in the wild, because some of them have a 90% damage reduction or can inflict a 5% max health bleed, making your stats virtually useless. Your dino is basically a PvP machine that if you aren't controlling, will die very quickly.
Holy shit i can rant too much about this game, talking about the chuubas playing Ark made me get 4 years worth of PTSD.
