Yes, although you can't then upload that character into official servers. It's legit if you want to treat your SP campaign like minecraft. You can spawn in objects/weapons etc. Good if you want to explore the caves so that you don't lose all your gear exploring it and dying on an official server

Thanks bud, thought it was ok, but wasn't 100%, mind at ease now.

really tempted to buy this,however every survival game ive played is just constant death due to griefers,i know u can play this on pve servers but also would like to experience decent pvp ,can we setup are own servers on this? does ocuk have a server? whats this play like now? and ultimately is it worth buying? any good deals about?

can u play on pve servers and on pvp servers?

I've got a dedicated PVE server here think someone else has a PVP server.

Feel free to drop me a email with your Steam name and i'll send you the pw and details to the server. [email protected]

There's 4 of us on EU official 177 with another non OCUK guy. Happily get you started if pvp is your thing.

There's not too many griefers at the moment and they tend to get owned quite quickly when they appear.

Could always do with more hands

Anybody watch "Survival of the Fittest" Tournament it was pretty good.

Hunger Games type event.

The way the even unfolded was pretty dramatic. Could not have scripted it any better. I was rooting for Echoics & LIRIK as i felt for noobs they did extremely well. They eliminated the most poeple i felt and was unlucky to get ganged up on near the end.

Winners were!

Did you get your Argent FF?

Digital X · 3 Aug 2015 at 10:57

Right, say I select an official server (number 2 for example) play for a bit then come back tomorrow to the same server, will my level etc be remembered upon login? I couldn't remember how it saved things.

Indeed. Your stats/levels and engrams are persistent through death and logging off.

Devrij · 3 Aug 2015 at 12:32

Keep in mind that your body stays in the game as a sleeping dude when you log off, so go hide when you log off

Sweet cheers guys. I'll search for some foliage before I leave

gerico · 3 Aug 2015 at 12:38

The best thing to do if your not in a tribe and dont have any pets. Build a 1 man hut and you be safe(ish) in there. If you build using stone wall, found and roof you should be relatively safe if u pick a good spot.

It should not take too long.

Richeh · 3 Aug 2015 at 13:17

But it will to get to the level required for the full stone building

I'd try the 1x1 wood house until you can do stone.

Was really impressed with the event as a whole, was really well run compared to similar Arma/Dayz events. Will be interesting to see how the mode will be when its released.

Nemeses · 3 Aug 2015 at 19:48

Thinking about getting this, will have around 2 months at home, where's the cheapest place and any Tribes open to join.

Can't help but think there was tampering in the tournament tbh, two fresh players manage to down a Rex that they so happened to also find a saddle for in a drop, all too convenient, especially when one of said players is a huge streamer that brings a lot of viewers to the tournament. The commentators even said that they hope Lirik doesn't die because he's giving them so much publicity! They didn't even know how to handle the dinosaurs, that's how much experience they have. Lirik isn't a particularly good gamer nor does he catch on quick to game mechanics, it really does feel like the Rex was downed with admin commands and that the saddle was spawned in for them. There's just no way they took down a Rex. Lirik has played the game for all of an hour before the event. Lirik was streaming it too and the commentators so happen to only just find out about it half way through the taming process when they can take ages to knock out, yeah okay.

Glad that Dolphin won though, I watch his stream occasionally and he's a solid player.

Would say to anyone planning on buying at the moment, don't.

The lag on official servers at least is fairly unbearable. The game freezes for 5-10 secs every 30 secs or so. Borderline unplayable but definitely enough to put off any newbies. The dev's have acknowledged it but no ETA for a fix.

So anyone pondering whether to buy it, just wait.

Was about to buy, but may just wait now.
