Draconian Realms is a small community. Our servers operate by minimal rules. Just use some common sense and you'll be fine.

Draconian Realms: Play as Dino 

By: Vuthakral

https://i.imgur.com/LgI1ecE.png Welcome to the fifth iteration of Draconian Realms' Play as Dino server. It's been almost a year since we were able to run this mod again, and boy is it a welcome return.

Summary information
A semi-realism PvPvE server which I've tried very hard to make a fun & balanced experience for both serious survivalist & casual players alike. Realism in the way of proper health regen, stamina, realistic hunger & hydration intervals, and spoil timers. Unrealistic in the regard of taming speeds & baby maturation speeds. So basically? The best of both worlds. There are minor stat changes per level for both dinosaurs & players, and wild dinosaurs can actually be a scary force on this server.

A list of server rules, additional server info, and etc can be found in our Discord server linked at the top of this post.

^That server has WAY to many mods. been trying to get in for roughly an hour cause it keeps timing out as it installs mods. at 27 mods and counting. About to say ♥♥♥♥ this and find a different server. anyone less patient than me would have stopped trying ages ago. you should make a link of all your mods so it's quick and easy to subscribe to them. also you need to take out half the mods. that's to many to get players. rule of thumb. stop at 15 mods max.

Update. finally done. . . for a grand total of 33 mods. some of them make no sense to have as another mod already does the same thing. they have both. which is going to cause crashes at some point.

and I got the server loaded. . . game crashed. gonna try one more time. then going to another server.

I got in. died. went to change character. can't make a new character wait 341880 minutes. that's 237.42 day. . . wtf?

and server crashed my game again. ok bye, let me know if you fix this

Jesus. If you were having issues with the server I don't know why you didn't try to join the Discord to ask the server staff or the host for help. You could have gotten a lot of help from people who regularly play on that server instead of sitting here frustrating yourself and blaming the server for your frustration when you choose to put yourself in a harsh situation.

For one, the number of mods is not a problem. It's the size that depends. Of those 33 mods, I'd say about six to eight of them are actually large in some way and really impact the loading time, these being the eco structures mods. We don't use all of them, and most Play as Dino servers have these mods for roleplay and building reasons.

As for your complaint of "another mod does the same thing", There is only one case of this and you are referring to the bonfires. We have both Brad's Bonfires & LC Bonfires. The server launched with Brad's Bonfires but someone later requested we add LC Bonfires instead. We added it and didn't remove Brad's Bonfires because people already had these bonfires placed and would lose items if we just removed it from the server. These two mods together are insanely small and don't impact the loading time at all. (Edit: After re-reading this specific complaint, you say this will cause crashes. These two mods are both custom bonfire entities. They won't cause any crashes. Please use some common sense.)

The game crash is just ARK. ARK does this a lot regardless of servers, mods, or etc. It really frustrates me as well.

The new character respawn time issue is something with Play as Dino v2, I will attept to look into it because this was already fixed in the past. If it's happening again I'll need to figure out why.

To close off, I'm really disappointed instead of actually reaching out to me, the Draconic Discord server, or in any way try to get help you chose to sit here ranting and raving about your problems to make this server look terrible by blowing things out of proportion and exaggerating things about the server in an attempt to make it worse.

If you'd like actual help, I'd advise you join the Discord server, the Steam group, or reach out for help. Otherwise you are doing nothing but complaining for the reason of trying to complain and try to deface my server, and by extension it's community.

As someone who has been playing on the Draconic server since day one, I can confirm that the server does indeed have a mod list:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=947077702

And as mentioned above if you had simply gone to the discord for help everything you've made a big deal about would have been explained to you and server staff and fellow players would have helped you out. Don't exaggerate things just because you're frustrated, at least try to get help before you start trash talking the server.

I just started up a new server with this mod.

Creatures of Bermuda
70.36.107.34:20595
Mods: Play As Dino Beta v2 and Human NPCs
60 player limit

After sifting through a few Ark Discord servers, I found out that a plain PAD server that isn't bogged down with a bunch of other mods seems to be what people want the most from this mod. I added in the Human NPCs mod as it adds just a lil bit of flare to it.

This server will remain up 24/7. I usually just play with those 2 mods on single player, but it'd be pretty cool if people joined in. :D

Very cool @Kaleto I may check it out here in a min. This will be the first time I've played Ark on PC and with a mod. I was using Xbox before.

Added to the main post, thanks for the addition!

I had trouble finding it when I searched for it

@ Mialla, it doesn't show up in the ingame server list.
You have to do a direct connection from Steam's server list.
