Conquest Servers

[relativelyquantumaniac]

So I havent played Ark in a while... i also wont be playing up until next year... but i do have 200+ hrs in the game and even though i died a thousand times I did really like the game... The idea of conquest servers really got me interested in the beginning but now i see that Wild Card has given the enforcement to Snail Games... So can anyone currently playing on the conquest cluster tell me how is to start as a new player on a server there?

1. Unknown. Tea may equal Snail Games.
2.No. PvP strategy prevent anyone from getting strong.

but on conquest servers you get banned if you continously grief other players right?

That statement was made by Wildcard. The conquest servers were given over their overlords, Snail Games. So doubtful enforcement is any better.

Plus griefing is PvP.

guess ill have to wait for a few months to see how they enforce it all... i dont really complain much about griefing... but being continously griefed everyday by the same people is what i dont particularly like...

Then PvP on official servers really isn't for you.

If PVP servers were a state, then "Griefing you every day by the same people" would be the state motto.

I left playing on official PvP and went to small tribes... was good for a few days... yes i was griefed in the beginning too... but a few weeks and the frequency of getting griefed increased so much that it was just stupid playing anymore...

I think it's a problem with the definition if griefing.

Not everyone defines it the same way.

You may feel you are being griefed...but those 'griefing' may just feel they are PvPing..

well for me the definition is : killing all my tames... blowing up my entire base to the last foundation... they dont even raid... because they know i have nothing of value... they just frustrate other players to a point so they become the alphas on a server... then they close the servers so no one could enter or leave it... and keep griefing new players... its like playing coop or singleplayer on an official server...

Some people's PvP philosophy is 100% wipe. All structures all tames even passives.

It you don't want to play with those kinds of players, then you needs ENFORCED rules against it.

Here is a mod (I use a different mod from this author) it was designed for their PvP servers. Maybe worth checking them out.
