Cross server raids

[Jux]

So, now that transfers are a thing, i hear more and more about servers getting wiped by uber tribes filling all slots and not leaving untill you lose all you built for the last half a year.. GG devs. All of my server is now playing Conan instead. Server transfers should be limited to characters only + 1-2 dinos per week at most.

in other news ark just hit a all new high player count on their network.

yeh cause of the sale they just had.. once people realize they'll get zerged, theyll leave.
then again, there are plenty of unofficial servers to play on..

There will always be people that move onto the next thing, or even just try the next thing and come back. Its not always about feet stamping because the Devs did this or that. Many people will have gone to conan to look for themselves, but that game itself also has a very looong way to go yet.

hey.. im not.. the alpha lost a lot than me.. still what's the point when 50 ppl with red gear and 300+ pteras come in, and you cant do nothing about it, because they block the server full..

Just another reason not to play on offical servers or at least the mega clusters, the small clusters are fine (3 servers only)

server transfer is one of best features that was ever implement that made ark immediately superior to all these crap cheap copy games like conan.

just play on unofficial small clusters if officials are too hard for you, problem solved.

OP doesn't realise the exact same thing will happen on Conan when it's playable and has more than 7 active players.

i agree its a good feature.. but still.. where is balancing?
its not about hard.. play xp has nothing to do with it, just rush a server and you win.

guess when u be raided next (and its a matter of time), ull change ur mind. our server was verry well protected.

ITT: Butthurt pro with way too much invested in a videogame loses a war and gets mad about it.

When I first started I lost 4 bases and basically had to start from scratch. I never gave up, kept grinding, and kept going. Even after I lost my level 102 T-rex to a pack of terror birds because I couldn't turn around to get them and I was out of stamina from a big fight, I didn't give up. I got a new saddle, put it on my level 12 T-rex, and dealt with it.

Stop being so butthurt about it. How boring is it must be, to stay on the same server building up the same thing for an entire year. How does one even do that and still have fun?

This is ARK, you're suppose to run around on dinosaurs and fight other dinosaurs and other people with dinosaurs, not build a giant base and sit in it hoping someone doesn't raid it while you're gone.

While I do like the Server transfer and have never had a base raided and fully wiped by anyone transfering in (1 tribe came close to taking us out once), I do think it needs some ballancing, The problem is how to do it, I see no solution that I think would be fair to everyone.

If they limit the number of dino's you can transfer then people will complain because "all my friends in my tribe left and I was wanting to change servers but I could only take X dino's at a time and the alpha wiped the rest before I could move them" Or "This is crap it shouldn't take me weeks to move 30 dino's from one server to the other, we could tame new ones faster"

But if they leave it the way it is, then alphas from other servers can move tons of dino's over at once and attack at will.

Of course, if people on PVP servers would defend like they are on PVP servers it would not be as easy for the attackers, unless they are hacking/cheating and in that case dino transfers is a moot point.

People have been saying this for a long time, yet the player base keeps increasing.

It used to be that people would say "once people realize they'll get zerged by the alpha tribes, they'll leave" but they didn't. Now, it's "once people realize they'll get zerged by the Uber tribes, they'll leave" but they won't.

so what your saying, you either join one of those tribes, or you die. because 3-4 ppl tribe have no chance in ark right now. atleas before the transfers, you could find a server where alphas wont raid you unless you're being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.. those guy just wipe everythin out clean. this is called griefing. im sure no sane person will play on official after they got wiped. unofficial - sure, still playable as before.
