Ark: Survival Evolved - Dinosaur MMO/Survival PVP funz!

Well my time on Ark has come to an end, first after a war on our official server heavy losses on both sides eventually the dino nerf came and a lot got uninterested on both sides. Spent time hopping on unofficial servers but 99% came rife with admin abuse and can't go back to 1x gathering after 25x all servers :D

Will revisit in the future hopefully they worked out some kinks and bugs, unfortunately there are a lot of game breaking ones that my tribe took full advantage of (Mining with a quetz while taking 0 weight from the anky, 150k metal/run). Sunken indestructable foundations, OP boxed quetzals, stacked auto turrets etc and we were not the only ones seemed all alpha tribes took advantage of these exploits anyway beyond that Ark was a very fun game but it got very stale or ruined by mechanics .. Ever seen 800 hours of a tribes work destroyed in less than 10mins? I feel bad for the people we rekt :(
 
Think I'm gonna take a bit of a break from this game.

Lvl 30 Giga walked into my base and killed 3 T-rexs and a Spino in under 10 seconds. It killed my lvl 199 Rex with nearly 9k health in 3 bites!
When I last logged out, it was busy knocking down the door to my dino pen. :(
 
I'd recommend playing on a PvP server tbh. Especially fun with friends.

Try and find a new-ish server so you're not completely outgunned from the getgo but it's part of the fun. Boring if other players give you tools, armour and dinos
 
Kinda tempted to rent a server and have settings like:

2x gather, 3x xp, 4x tame. Unsure on the rest of the multipliers for breeding and such. Could also do something like PVE from midnight to 6am, then 6pm to midnight PVP.

I just don't want to order a server and have no one but myself play it :D
 
Try a PvPvE server, there are quite a few with controlled & healthy PVP with rules like no offline raiding, no raiding outside of certain hours etc.

Otherwise you're just going to log on each day to dinosaur death messages and everything you've build & farmed stolen & destroyed.

Play unofficial too, official is extremely unhealthy with the tame times and gather rates. It's also next to impossible to experience late game without 10+ man tribes on them, as a Giga or Quetzal for example takes double digit hours to tame, which is not possible solo.

Ouch, that sucks. I always have thought that large amounts of tamed dinos should scare away wild ones, even Gigas. As insanely powerful as they are, 4 apex predators like your Rex' and Spinos plus anything else you own would set off the Giga's alarm bells and it wouldn't come near your base. Should definitely add something like that, or maybe Dino repellent defences because it is all luck of the draw. All it takes is a bit of bad luck and a Giga on your doorstep and your game is over.

You can build turrets using Plant X. Knock back, damage and tranq.

No idea about that but I had a similar issue with blacklist found this fixed my issues;

1. Right click and go to "Properties"
2. Click on "Compatibility" tab
3. Put a tick a tick on "Run this on compatibility mode for"
4. Choose "Windows 98/ Windows Me"
5. Put a tick on "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply"
6. Try running the game

Absolutely zero idea why it worked.
