TheIsland Casual Gamers |Scorched Earth | PVPVE | 3.5x Tame; 3.5x XP; 3x Harvest

[Argonassassin]

Hello everybody, USA based Dedicated server. There are 3 mature admins. Server is updated frequently, should be set to automatically update once everyday at 0200 EST. An admin will verify it's updated and update as needed.

About the server:

Name: Casual Gamers | PVPVE | 3.5x Tame; 3.5x XP; 3x Harvest, Based on the island with a Scorched Earth mod to add some Scorched Earth dinos and items, IP:  199.60.101.242:27048

PVPVE, PVP should be fun for both parties involved, not one sided and used to ruin someone's ark experience.

I'm creating a server for the casual or even hardcore gamer. Removing the horrendous grind from the officials but keeping things in check enough to make it feel like you're actually working towards something. 

We have  forum for players to communicate, get updates and post support tickets for problems they are experiencing with the server. It will be the best way to get a hold of an admin. http://casualgamers.boards.net/

Following are rules/gameplay details:

To mitigate people building outside or just inside of caves, there will be small structures designed to fit your bird or medium sized dino outside of every cave entrance. Gates shall remain unlocked and will be supplied by the Admins so that we do not have/need people to put up small bases all over cave entrances.

There will be major server events at least once a month, minor gladiator battles may be performed on a weekly or more often occurrence on the community island. Players should respect each other and not use underhanded techniques for raiding and battling, however, raiding is part of the game. If players are caught griefing or ruining another players ark experience anything froma  temp ban to a perma ban may be instituted. Admins are off limits for raiding and as such Admins are not allowed to become involved in raids, battles, or events that gain them anything other than bragging rights or an honorary title.

If any player has an issue with another player we implore you to open a thread on the server support forum or message an admin with details of the offence. Any offence brought to the attention of admins should have supporting evidence (screenshots or audio/video clips). As admins we will try to be as fair as possible for all parties involved.

There will be no building in caves. Building in small crevices in rock faces is acceptable. Since there will be structures provided by Admins outside of caves for storage of dinos while spelunking there will also be no building of structures outside of caves. Bring enough food in your dino's inventory for it to survive the hr or so without you.

We have a community center set up on the small island on the back side of Cragg next to the Green obelisk. We have a pub, trading center (for exchanging items with other players), and a gladiator arena for 1v1 and 2v2 battles.There is no fighting allowed, minus community events, in the community area. It is designed as a place for players to congregate and trade freely, interact, and participate in small community events. Breaking this rule will garner suspension or banning. We also have a community neighborhood on the backside of Cragg for new players to build a small structure after first joining (join West 2). Players are allowed to build a single foundation structure which is large enough to place some storage and a single bed and log out in. There is also a wall blocking off the rest of Cragg from the area so no vicious dinos should be harassing players. After you've gathered and built your first base you are required to remove your old hut so new players may build there as needed.

When it comes to fighting, picking people up off their dinos is unsporting and requires little to no skill and therefore is not allowed. Keep it classy guys.

Building on top of major resource spawns is blocked to keep people from blocking major resource nodes. There will also be a community forge center for newer players to gather and smelt metal at while they build themselves up. Fuel will need to be provided by the player however.

IF YOU ARE CAUGHT CHEATING OR EXPLOITING THE GAME YOU WILL BE INSTANTLY BANNED

Any player noticing cheating or exploiting, please submit screenshots or a video of the transgression so it may be reviewed. It will require a majority vote from the admins to constitute grounds for banning and be considered exploiting or cheating.

Have fun, respect your neighbor, and if any problems arise please contact an Admin. Screenshots are your best friend as it will make any problem more easily corrected.

For the juicy bits, our rates.

xp 3.5x; harvest 3x; resource respawn 1.5x; platform structure build 1.5x; egg lay 0.5x(so eggs lay 50% more often); egg hatch 2.5x; baby mature 3x; taming 3.5x; dino food drain 1x 

 

Player stat per level increase multipliers:

Health 2.0; Stam 2.0; Food 1.5; Water 1.5; Weight 3.0; Melee 3.0

Tamed Dino stat per level increase multipliers:

Health 2.5; Stam 3.0; Weight 3.0; Melee 1.75; Speed 2.75

Wild Dino stat per level increase multipliers:

Health 1.75

 

Those are the major multipliers other minor things have been changed. Max player level is same as vanilla, and dinos can level up 100 times after tame. Engram points have been adjusted.

Mods on this server:

stackmemore v1.04 (stacking mod that reduces weight and does not affect jerky making)

advanced architecture (adds castles)

pub mod 

big raft (Adds the Barge and large Raft)

tavan's trough (A refrigerated trough)

scaffolding

customizable tranq weapons so, if you've played with this mod you'll know the "oneshot" is a modded simple rifle, and the mid tier is a machined sniper rifle. This didn't make sense to me so I swapped the one shot and machined sniper torpor counts since you could start using the "oneshot" at lvl 30 or so but would have to wait until lvl 55 to use the mid tier weapon (some odd reason it uses advanced rifle ammo instead of machined sniper ammo).

Egg collector(collects eggs, poop, and achatina paste within a 75 foundation radius.)

cute hair

Structures+

natural babies(adds baby dinos to the wild)

Scorched Earth Plus (adds SE items and dinos to the island) There may currently be an issue between the Wyvern egg spawning and Classic Flyers mod preventing eggs from appearing which is being looked into by the mod author.

Classic Flyers (revamps flyers back to pre nerf stats and abilities.) Stam and speed now have a reduced leveling rate but should be slightly offset due to the speed and stam buff I have applied.

The start of the future coliseum. Where players will come to either battle dinos or each other for prizes. Meant for large groups, typically 3v3, and larger.

The community industrial forge is created. Situated nicely between frozen tooth and volcano, central to most all mountains. Has 2 means of entry via unlocked gates with auto open and close (thanks S+). You must bring your own fuel (as the owner I'm more than willing to provide some fuel to help kickstart making some of your own). The coliseum is also now finished and ready for any server events. Be it 2 tribes hacking at each other with gear provided by the admins, a tribe taking on 6 groups of dinos for glory and prizes, or a solo run against dinos on up to a rex. Server demand or admin discretion will determine what event is run.

Just added Scorched Earth Plus and Classic flyers mods to the server. Now you can play on your favorite nostalgic map with SE items and dinos. Classic Flyers also undoes the nerf that was applied to the flyers so you can continue leveling speed on your favorite bird.
