ARK survival evolved vs survival of the fittest

[Mysfytt]

First a question: I always Click on Survival evolved, but there are always two options - what exactly is the difference?


Now an added suggestion:
If there is no difference - maybe there should be.
ARK Devs seem wholey focused on making the game PVP - if I wanted a game that was just about killing the other players - I'd play FORTNIGHT.

Why don't they physically separate the game into PVP and PVE platforms, so that Survival Evolved is PVE and Survival of the Fittest is PVP and both platforms run completely different and true to their type instead of forcing PVE players into PVP cutbacks and nerfs.

That way they can make PVP super vanilla hard so the jerks don't rule the map and take advantage of it, while those of us who actually like to challenge ourselves against the ARK and catch dinos as the game originally intended can have back our nerfed stuff - nerfed flyer speeds, nerfed species z healing, nerfed fun, nerfed whole point to the game.

Survival of the fittest is the failed try from wildcart, to programm a dino-survival game with competitiv faktors. (sry for bad english)

There are pve and pvp servers for what you are suggesting. Not sure how making SOTF their pvp version of the game makes any sense. If you don't like the server you are on make one or find a different one.

SOTF is more of a battle royale, last-man-standing style of game.All players start off as "fresh" survivors, on a special Island-like map, and rush to gather resources, build bases, tame dinos, and do battle (alone or in small tribes) before the time limit expires (anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours). Sadly, no one plays anymore.

What I am suggesting is not program the game with just pvp in mind - nerfing all the stuff that pve find quite useful because it overbalanced the pvp style - but instead separate it completely - no not just haul my arse to a different server because the same basic mechanics still apply no matter what server you are on or what format you play pvp or pve.

By separating them the pve can ahve back some of the removed mechanics that are too op for pvp, while the pvp version of the game can have its cut backs and nerfs still in place.

There are a bajillion gazillion different unofficials.... let official be whatever the hell the devs want... you have options.
