Fix the Decay timer ASA on Officials

[EverTrek1701]

any structure with less than 30 connected parts should decay in less than 3 hours.

on 5438 there are free standing foundations, storage boxes, camp fires, and much more all over the map. the protected resource area is not working.

my story is i logged out with my starter base and logged back in to be boxed in by pillars and wooden dino gates. the pillars/fence foundation combo. these guys moved and have NO active members in the area around me but they still have pillars and a dino gated small camp.

The decay in global its broken, if the servers restart the decay will start all over again.

now they even enabled offline protection to bases (but not dinos???). we will never see an end to this mess.

Maybe its basically possible to make the decay timers work? And dont get reseted when server crash. So many spots r blocked by spammers and now noone newcomer can build.

still hasn't been fixed?

i'm taking a break, don't know. the server crashes a few times a day on official, always when i'm doing something like taming. the single/non-dedicated crashes often too. each hotfix lag gets worse....

Distributing pillars and blockers in general is very annoying. We are also overbuilt that we can no longer build in any direction, because blocked in every direction. Over half of the map is blocked, even though no one is playing there, there are just blockers standing around there. you can try to write a ticket via survive the ark. a gm can remove pillar. I have already written a ticket. It just takes a while to get an answer because they have so many tickets

i got boxed in also day 2. the group went up and down the shore and pillared everything. not a GM in sight. however that should have been addressed in this new version of ark, it is not anything new. since the server side crashes often, lots of rollbacks, the decay timer does not progress. there are camp fires, storage boxes, and pillars with 1day decay that never decay.

they are busy rolling out console and official servers are just an afterthought at this point.

They have to put back the old ARK timers. Because there you can’t play any other game and you can’t have a private life.
