DattoSSS 22 Posted January 4, 2019 If you are in Australia and NZ and are looking for a decent PvP server, have a look at https://www.gamingalliance.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=113&t=179&p=359#p359 for server info and map of Gaming Alliance's 3x3 Atlas cluster. I played officials and it was a nightmare with pings of 1400+. I tried a lot of australian unofficials and they were laggy, rates were unbalanced or they were full of trolls and griefers. I went to Gaming Alliance as played their servers for two years in Ark and knew they were the best unofficial. I got pings of 49-50 (I am in South East Qld, Australia). The game was suddenly playable. The admin for Gaming Alliance is very experienced in running Ark servers and has tweaked the Atlas settings, it has increased rates but in a balanced manner that makes the game challenging yet keeps it fun. The spawn region is PvE and has higher rates than the other regions but also has rules preventing bases or galleons being built - it is a spawn island only so people can start up and leave to the PvP regions to establish a base. It is a great community, lots of fun and everyone works together as well as some well mannered and hilarious PvP action. Small tribes only, max 5, and has it's own discord. Check it out you won't be disappointed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
