Yes, it is terrible. Official public servers are disgusting and this game has never had offline protection. If you want that you're going to have to find an unofficial server hosted by someone, which can have its own issues... I'm personally playing single player right now.

If you don't want to be raided play PVE

That's not true, I was playing for years on official in a ORP server. Maybe it's not for you but it was there.

Stick to unofficial servers, pvp officials are mostly teenagers and unemployed adults with autism

I like to be able to have a life outside the game, and not have to worry about whether or not my hard work will all be gone because I want to do things outside the game.

but who care? If people enjoy ORP PVP or not, that was in the game. No one saying they were PVP. PVE and ORP are not the same experience either.

Apparently PVE currently has no offline protection. I seen seen dying dinos all day on PVE official server as well I lost 2 of mine thus far while offline. I also lost gear and items, And of course nothing like folks yelling in PVE chat over other players pulling alpha's onto their base.

yeah seen a lot of dinos being killed by alphas bc of no offline protection. I see for PVP no offline but why not PVE

Orp on ase was a thing on official as well. Most pvp that happens on official servers r not even pvp it's people waiting for u to log off and pve ur base to death while encountering no pvp at all.
You lose ur progress without even getting to enjoy a fight. U can call that pvp if u want.

ORP is PVP. If you're offlining someone because there's no ORP, it is literally not PVP because there is no other player present. You literally cannot have PLAYER versus PLAYER if there is only one player present.
I say this as someone with 1000s of hours in just official PVP servers. You can not like ORP, that's fine. But if you're saying having ORP isn't PVP then you need to touch grass or something because running around c4ing the offline bobs is not PVP lol.
