Storage destroyed through multiple walls

[Euphoric]

Hi peeps,

never done a post before so ill try and keep it brief. i have quickly searched in the dicussions and found others have had the issue.

I play on a PVE server (136).
Built up my base, got a bunch of dinos, started farming particular things (roughly 9 large storage boxes full).

I had to do some real life stuff so i was offline for 2-3 days.



I came back online to see all my large storage boxes were destroyed - they were inside my base and beyond that i had a perimeter of walls all around my base (this is all wooden btw) and also wooden spikes beyond that perimeter.

All my dinos were OK and all my walls were OK.


This made me a little disheartened... So I decided to give away my dinos to other players on the server (had some fun auctioning off 3xsabers, 1xmammoth, 1xspino, 1xtrex, 1xarg, 3xraptors, 1xphiomia, 1xturtle, 1xtrike, 1xstego, 2xscorpions with a guessing game of 1-10 for each dino). I did this because this issue seems quite game breaking and im fine with that since it is early access but i think i will wait until it is fixed before I binge on ark again. + it cheered me up giving people a bit of help with dinos :]



Just curious - Is this an issue that is being looked at? if so - what priority is it for being fixed?



From what i can gather a dino (possibly bronto) was attacking one of my dinos or another AI dino outside and its tail swung through my base and glitched through my walls and destroyed the storage.


now that i see this wall of text, it isnt that brief - i feel like most of it is relevant. Please don't take this post the wrong way - i thoroughly enjoy ark and i understand it is early access, this issue just made me a bit sad and i thought i would speak up about it.

Thankyou for reading.

did someone aggro a big dino into your base or one of yours? i'v had times my big ones like trex get aggroed at a wall and there hits ggo into the base and pve dmg on bases is still effected by dino's including players ...which shouldent

well all the walls were up (3xhigh wooden walls), but yes i guess some person couldve aggro'd a dino to hit my walls. even if that happened - my walls didnt break and it hit through 2 walls and broke all the storage... which i didnt think would happen - would make sense to break the walls before you can hit the stuff inside :p

did you have your doors locked? Because I am thinking your doors were unlocked and someone was able to get inside and ravage those boxes

yes, i didn't really clarify but i had 3 dino gates that all had pins on them - all my doors on my house inside my perimeter had pins on them. everything that could have a pin on it had one, i tried to be very secure.

This is 100% accurate, on multiple occasions I have seen a bronto tail swing through layers of walls to destroy storage and equipment inside a house. Never been one to complain about it, since at op said, it's ea. However, the type of walls don't matter, doors locked unlocked, doesn't matter.

Last night my bronto was defending my home vs a terrible dilo... his tail damage is traveling through layers of walls and destroyed my smithy l, mortar and 2 cabinets and my bookshelf had 50hp left. Imo, not game breaki ng, but could lead to heart ache if one isn't there to catch the gear on the ground.

That sucks to hear :/.. hopefully this issue gets acknowledged and fixed - it was only a bit game breaking to me because of the ridiculous amount of high level stuff i farmed to store in those boxes. my fabricator didnt break tho :]

Same happened to me tonight on primitive pvp server. It's a small 2x2x2 stonehut. When I logged on today I was dead, killed by a 38 raptor. No problem i thought, since I stashed my gear in storage boxes, but I found out 2 storage boxes were gone, and 2 more had been damaged (close to destroyed). Noone had been inside (door was intact). So a wild raptor had aggroed my sleeping body and destroyed 2 storage boxes (and those werent even close to the wall.. more in the center!).
