  1. Arrrrrrrrrr-k at its best.. I was lucky with my lawless island and my Co had a small cliff-side area to build from. We only had one pillar spaming co near us.. they spammed a pillar right at the base of my house that stops me from building stairs up to it as i live on top of rocks. The only place left to build.
  2. It just sucks that you would announce this and not be ready to do it... and watch your garden die just to hope your next season will grow...... This should have been at max a week out kind of thing... not a month... times 6... for what? lol.
  3. PS include Official and Unofficial Server/map as well... does no good to try and join a group to find out they play one or the other that you didn't want to play
  4. You did, and just didn't get the warm fuzzy that not only were we wiped but back to no kidding day one, not just a respec wipe like they normally do. Guess we will see. Thanks for your answer.
  5. Make the companies portion of the forum worth its salt. Right now the searching system is broken, you can not search PVE by most players. Make a advanced search field that works, with NA/EU, PVP/E, Open/Closed, Age Group. Make it a requirement for people in the game to post a company or be listed there and joined into the Co., if not then its really worthless and needs to be removed over pure frustration! To me its about as broken as the game. The sad part is this is a far quicker fix than a server wipe that you have planned coming! And another thing inst there a moderator that checks on the sections? Wouldn't you have found this?
  6. Just make it be able to be used to crate a ship or "repair" a ship and call it a dry dock option... you could make tether points on the side by ship type per dock type... that should have been done since day one...
  7. So we all know that its coming. The real questions is to when it comes and I'm sure it will be delayed as always, what BS are we going to have to deal with... So as we see it; we will loose all building, we will loose all ships, we will loose all tames. Day 1.2 we will wake up scratch our wrist and start punching trees and picking up rocks. Well some of us will. Most I see it will wake up in a home port like any new player would. I really doubt that we will be able to start off in a Lawless region or anywhere else for that matter. That being said. what are the die hard players going to do? We know the streamers have all called a huddle of the minds. I know GG said it out in the open that they need to start now. Obviously this will effect official and unofficial servers just the same. My guess is people will build a crap load of pillars get back to a home port and log off and stay there till the word go is given. No word was given that we would loose our bodies and inventory on them. Once the game goes live it will be a race to buy a crappy ship, haul ass to the first island and place pillars like a mofo. Which is what we will always fight with Wildcard no matter what game it is. As this is happening they are taking over an area and owning the island, by that time a bed has gone down a few times and the rest of the Co. can leapfrog to the new spot and build a second boat to hit more islands and own them till they find the right sized one. Then they will disown the ones they don't want so they don't have to pay the tax as this will still be within the fist day or so. If they can keep the first ones then they will be on good grounds. The top 10 Co.s will have a struggle to make right now....... Own a big ass island and pay an even bigger tax rate; keep it for them selves IF they have a player base to support it, or allow smaller Co.s in to slave them out and to have an active owner demolish anything that could be a threat. The problem is you have to set a war time and the entire island will need to act as one as they are all on the same team at that point. OR, do the big Co.s take over small islands and pay the tax outright and make a small enough tax that they can cover based on the players they have. This gives them the chance to be in control and be sole owners but its also taxing the crap out of your self. No mention as to how the allies system plays into this. small island or big island! Its a shotgun start! I just want to know if we all will start on the same grounds or not. Will this be a true wipe or the players that were being oppressed before have the same feeling right off the bat? I was a player that lived in the lawless region because at first it took me weeks to get off the stupid ass rubber-banding home ports. I was saved by a Co. and we had a small chunk of cliff-side property on the nearby lawless region. As being a vet Arc player this was home.... No changes and I sure as hell didn't want to try to go further from seeing the abomination of a flag system in effect out there. I already had my ship sunk about 10 times from A-holes jumping on just cause they can to watch your dreams go down the tank. There was no way I wanted to loose any buildings as well to that kind of people. Im a builder, I love building PVE and PVEp, i deplore PVP builds. I also don't like loosing my hard earned buildings to a griefer or to the PVP system. I also despise pillar wars! So what will be your starting strategy?
  8. As per WC errr GS what ever studio is pulling the strings said.... Hold your breath wait for a date and hold your breath some more... Ughh... From a studio that has NEVER EVER come close to making a date they put down... it may be some insight that they haven't put a date out as they may have learned from previous mistakesssssssssssssssss. Sorry we cant provide a better answer for you. I wish we all had a hard date and time. you know there would be a flood of people trying to get on and get moving..
  9. I agree. In this day and age they wouldn't do it out of spite they would do it because its cool or fun.. Or better yet because they can..... and THAT is the root of the problem.
  10. A wipe isn't the fix, in not one bit.... As soon as you did that said offenders would move right back in and place the foundations with in a matter of hours then your back to square one... There needs to be a core block system, limit 1 per player with a distance of say like a 20 yard radius, in an company you can only build the core inside flag radius (say 100 yard) or suffer elevated environmental damage; be it a constant degrade drain, or a penalty of like 40% health reduction until covered by a company radius... If you were solo and built outside of your radius you would suffer the same elevated damage. This would be a good balance for people who want to go solo and don't need the use of a Company. A Co. can only place 1 flag for every 5 members up to 50, and then 1 flag every 10 members. If the number is not maintained then a random flag will de-spawn in 24 real time hours and notice is given to the clan/owner. This will give the Co. a chance to relocate a flag from a less desirable area if members cant be obtained. It also keeps the Co's in check from making servers Co. owned and the game unplayable... I'm not trying to go into how this drives the Wildcards motto of pushing servers to unofficial so we can save money. I'm just stating the obvious shutting down of valued land by a few killing the game for many, a mechanic that has ruined Ark servers and made previous sentence true.
  11. Dear comrade, Like Trump we here in China don't listen to petty users telling us how to fix our glorious creation. HA! Signed WC I have asked them to fix the Companies portion of this so called web board as well. The admin lock up LFG post quicker than you can blink but still fail to see that we can find a group here as well as in game because of the cross servers. you cant search for companies because the 2 search filter tools dont work together... Any how im here to bump your post because this is how we make our own bug reporting tool.... i guess....
  12. Yep.. well i went one tile (server) left of freeport and have the exact same problem as in the description..... PS getting a TEAM is also just about as dismal as trying to play this game. But we keep trying.... Thats all we can do...
  13. I feel your pain.. Most people that are giving feedback about the state of the game (aka not the white knights) don't quite remember that not only is this stuff happening on official but rented servers... So there are people actively paying monthly for this game, in this state.. so this IS NOT A EA GAME!!!! Not to yell at you just stating the fact... stupid Alpha build passed off as a EA. HA!!! funny how Ark doesn't have these same errors... no one is sinking my rafts or motorboats! no one is taking my house after i log off for a few days. I hope they step up their game for people who are hosting servers as they are the ones that will be keeping the game alive.
  14. Teetering on if I should raise you +5 or just fold and find the nearest hammer and bash my hands in for even attempting to keep playing........ +5... but the hammer is still an option at this point....
  15. I mean it seems that this entire Flag Claim is a good idea of sorts, hell i love it.... but the delivery is like watching an..... yeah best not say here.... It seems to me that Flags are what amounts to Pillar Wars... which to me and the other half of the players here is pure BS... Then on top of that you have a second layer of Pillar Wars with the ability to steal and replace them (flags) holly crap. How do you ever play PVE when your PVPing all the time.... BTW most of this is for the PVE side as im sure the PVP side is even more jacked with this mechanic. I mean I put money down that there are duplicate accounts made just to keep a body in spawn huts to keep claim land. *shakes head.... Just remove the flags mechanics in place... give each Co 1 flag. add 1 more flag for ever 5 more players. de-spawn a random flag if they ever drop below the required level to keep all the flags they have... give 24 hours till all items de-spawn or until the player level has returned in the said area. Also give them time to remove a flag in a area unwanted to put in one that was just de-spawned in case it was their main area, shuffle flags if needed. And for $%*# sake stop this sinking of of others boats when standing on them. ITS PVE FOR GOD SAKE!!!!! "E" remember what the hell that stood for, ENVIRONMENT!!! Not player.... Any how for those weathering this game in the state it is with the core mechanics (cringe) that are in place I salute you... Hope to see you out there some day. Till then back to freeport as im dead again and floating in the middle of the ocean.....
  16. I may not have been on here as much as I like from day 1 but good god.... I spent the better part of the time on the Freeport and doing well. Had my loaded raft ready to go and get me a small plot of land and see what this game is about..... Well first you have to stop others from blowing up your raft in freeport. Then you come back to a respec and by god you put a point in the wrong spot and FML. Keep a positive out look and build a half you know what raft and only a quarter of what you used to have and set sail..... 4 hours later to the nearest land you find that well its packed and btw, you dead. I really do want to give this game a chance... (no need to mention EA or badmouth Wildcard for this part) The games physical state with ping rate just insane and FPS still not in a good state compounding to an dismal clan/tribe/Co search or joining is just pure punishment. And by God dont put LFG or any of the Co's put that they are open.... that admin will lock that sucker up faster than you can blink.. but yet they will not fix the search functions of the companies pages... or some how make the in game companies post here so we can find others to play with if solo just cant be done. I work FULL time like 10hours a day and try to put 6 to 8 hours in Ark... love to switch off my console and onto my PC for Atlas but its just way to much punishment at this point.. how do you all do it.. There is just way to much PVP built into this PVE game... for me its not PVE, may not be totally PVP but sure as hell not PVE.. I mean I cant build in freeport (okay fare enough). I can build in lawless but im pretty much dead and as of this coming up monday seems that may be a nogo as well. And since its as packed as a sports stadium parking lot its just a no go. So that leaves the rest of the map, some what 70% or more. well seems we cant build there because you have to be online no less than 3 hours and all your stuff is now stolen if you are.... Oh and if your nice enough to get a spot some one is pimping you out at 30%. What the hell...Guess I will go silently into the night and come back another week. Looking forward to seeing you all out there. I need to build another PC, and toss my PS4 out the window to get my wife here... she puts 2 times the hours in Ark that i do... good god...
  17. At this point you are unable to search PVE, by most members, the buttons do not work with each other. Also using the websites own maps and searching the companies listing things just don't match up. im sure not all Co's list on the companies page but surly some have to and we just cant find them. It makes trying to communicate across the world impossible unless i missed how to talk/chat from one tile to another. so putting in 7 or 8 real hours sailing in a busted raft being destroyed at every island you get to from grievers is just dismal. 1. Give insensitive for large Co's to list in the companies section, and maybe a bonus for members being signed up too. (it will help fill your boards with more people to drown out the bad PR your getting) 2. Fix the filter and listing buttons on the page for God Sake! Orrrrrr put in a search field just for the companies section so when we hit key words or parts of the actual Co's name we can find what we are looking for. This will help us get involved in the game. Hell for us PVE people it may even get more streamers and people to post good things since we are spending more time playing than looking for groups to join. 3. Look at what the community map makers are doing and update your maps to reflect more and accurate data. That too will help people in the search for like minded Co's. Please keep in mind that these request are for more PVE than PVP as im sure no everyone wants to be on blast showing where they are on a map....but the Companies page needs attention.
  18. i think this is a step up from the maps they have.. but with that in mind why dont we see the top 10 Co's on your maps assuming they are the bigger co's yet they are no were near what looks to be on your maps? Im sure yours has a better dynamic flow and we dont know the metrics of the forums maps. just wanted to know.
  19. I'm at a loss... the first thing you see other than the splash banner when getting here is seeing the "top 10" of sorts for each server. But when taking a closer look to find info on such big shots I found nothing in the Company Directory pages.. How so and why? I would have made the top companies as they are but only if they are registered here.. It sucks trying to find a group to play with when you A. have to search page by page because the filter and sort buttons don't work together, B. have to go from server to server in public (toxic) chat trying to find a group that fits what your looking for (if the servers are actually working), and C. oh yeah they don't exist in the directory! You cant just post on here LFG cause that will get you locked out. Im good with the bugs in the game (not really but you know what i mean) but getting filter buttons to not work right in the company directory is just sad! Try it your self... do a search for PVE by most members... let me know when it works. WildCard.. how about a bonus for Co.'s that are in the registry to get in game bonus or bonuses depending how how many of their members are signed up as well in the directory under your flag.... lost cause i know..
  20. In ark this would equate to a mind wipe due to a core mechanic change in values assigned by each person. You had so many points that gave you access to skills and such. those point values have now changed and everyone needs to respec... as for your equipment start acting like Star Citizen (poofware), well that's just crappy knee jerk reactions to fix something that's broken and making over corrections. some difficulty settings were upped and more NPC ships were set loose to clear the board. I dont like it too.. as i was on an hour ago. and now im dead in the middle of the ocean and lost all my gear and have no way of making it again nice... thanks for the respec... cant wait for the next one so i can get my points lined up in the right sections.. Growing pains.....
  21. Wild Card felt like you got to much of the game up front and decided to take back the Xmas gift skin job they gave you... OK OK OK that was harsh.. But true......
  22. Well just woke up in the middle of the ocean, " You died"!... HOW THE HELL DID I DIE IN THE OCEAN.. I wasn't drunk in public i was in a bar.. Wild Card threw me into the public... (thanks for letting me use that Ron W.) Im in the middle of the ocean, on foot, err flipper err what ever i have you know... and now i have NOT A DAMN THING and i have to respec! WOW.. Just WOW... ugh.... i get the respec i can really but thanks for teleporting my body to the middle of the ocean and drowning me while i was offline for a total of 45 min for you FRICKING SERVER SIDE UPDATE!!!! Well crap, who up for another round... hell i stop counting.....
  23. So are you saying that we all should hunt them down and send them back to their country of origin?
