o0oNightmareo0o Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Just like the title, why do you play PvP? What is the most hours put into a build you have lost? What is the highest level dino you have lost? Really curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRavenHeng Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Put a solid two weeks into building a basic (first time PVP) base on an official OCAsia 129 server, only to have it wiped... server no longer appears to exist? Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilNastyGurl Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Because there is nothing more exciting than watching a group of idiotic slandering teenage morons lose entire breeding lines, a 25x25 metal base, 155 auto-turrets, memories, fun and enjoyment, in less than an hour, and being unable to get that 650 hours of their life back.

Volcano637 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Uh, not really sure on how many hours on one build but it was a lot on one of them. Just like lil nasty girl said though I lost it within a few hours. the cool thing was I got someone else to wipe them while I was petting koalas on my two week trip to Australia ? Thats about the only thing I like about crossark. If I get wiped I will make sure they are gone as well. I try to warn people but sometimes they just don't listen ?

What is the highest level dino you have lost? Really curious. I play PvP because these new mobs called "Human Players" have some of the most ridiculously awesome AI i've seen. A Level 100 can kill pretty much everything, can mine almost any resource, can CONSTRUCT THEIR OWN BASES, and have the most insane aggro range I've ever seen. They're dangerous AF and untameable, but you CAN ally with them or recruit them into your tribe! The most hours I put into a build was 1,100. Got bored and just gave away my tames to other tribes and let them demolish my stuff for resources against CrossARK. The highest Level dino I lost was a Level 267 Rex with 10k HP and 394% Melee.

Its having the ability to actually enjoy all the content in the game, do boss battles, experiment with builds, breed, etc etc. If I want PvP i play SOTF, Official PvP sucks and isnt worthy of the name PvP.

Joshuaaaaaaa Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Well today, alphas came to cross raid, and our alphas beat them even though they ddosed the server. Our alphas then join their server and wiped them. They came back and ddosed our server and now it got taken down. I was lvl 87 and lossed a lvl 157 giga that our tribe just tamed.

YUSHOETMI Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 because if somebody puts a pillar where I wanna build I don't have to stand there crying looking at a timer count down and not be able to use my pointless stack of c4 or rockets because everybody has bubblewrap around them.

szabiferi Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 For me PVE getting boring after a while plus unfortunately some bad game mechanism (like the land claiming they try to fix, the resource killing with foundation, the griefers kiting the animals to your base etc) having the opportunity to demolish aor opunish some offenders is a plus for me. Overall I dont find runining other's work fun and often it is not economic, but it is good to have an opportunity to teach that DireWolf guy swearing on local all the day or killing the metal spawns deliberately... plus I do like ingame "politics" and "diplomacy", and it turns out it is often possible to avoid getting levelled ifyou are good in the art of talking On my current server I was leveled just once at the beginning by the alpha, but after some talking i was never hit anymore. Important: I dont play on official servers, when a bored megatribe just suddenly come out from server 999 to server 001 and level everything. I prefer small unofficial clusters, when it is easier to track who is who, who is strong and building up, who is a nice guy who is bad guy and you have the chance to build proper player interaction and relationship. Also I prefer elevated slightly rates, to makes sure when I lose something it does not hrt that much. Im pretty sure I could not bear a loss of a giga when it takes 2 weeks of costant attention from me (I play on 4x harvest / 8x breeding /10x taming server) ----- Just yesterday we had to level a tribe, who claimed that they came to wipe our server cluster for fun (not to live on it and play with us), and when we checked their base, we saw 38 high level turtles... well... our relaxed server just woke up and even the lazy carebear PVE kind like me brought out our gigas and eliminated the problem...

Well all you mentioned happens in PvP... except in pvp it's not the main focus, but means to an end. At the end of the day PvP ARK is the main game, PvE is just a modification. I agree vanilla ARK PvP is bullcrap. Balance is non-existant. That is why I'm in P+, which is way more forgiving to smaller tribes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turin Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Played 1000 hours of official PVP, mostly solo, some of them on tribes (Beta and Alpha). However, i like my buildings. I like my stuff. I like my dinos. Knowing that it was all temporary and volatile made me invest very little time onto builds. I knew they wouldnt last for long. I decided to play official PVE some 2 weeks ago and i'm having the time of my life! Not having to build metal boxes is so satisfying. I have now built some stone castles and am on the process of building a great glass pyramid. Besides, i am already reaching level 90. And i plan to get to tech in about a month. Still playing solo, as i prefer! I play on a nice server, with great people. I feel there is no way in the current state of the game to enjoy all the aspects of the game whilst playing PVP.

X111 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I played possibly 250hours on PVP, first couple of days were a ball ache, 15 different servers and reducing my pride to grovelling after being wiped in 3 consecutive days in a row I managed to get into a Beta tribe. I'm a builder and tamer and do like the odd pot shot at high level naked players running around on easy spawn beaches. I built a Giga raising room, traps, crop house and vault room for the Beta, looked after their hatchlings when they weren't able to and helped out an Alpha tribe member who was being chased down by a Giga on the Island. after 2 weeks of hard graft suddenly I was kicked from the tribe and all my BPs and efforts were taken from me, I was then put into a cage overlooking the red ob and my lvl90 player character has been there ever since. 12yr olds evidently have a lot of time on their hands PVE has its own challenges and in my opinion has less grief than PVP I don't have to worry about the 15k ings I harvested will be stolen before I next log on and generally the community are a lot happier and less childish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidstar Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I will play ark PVP only if new servers are made [in clusters of 4 or whatever number corresponds to the number of official maps] and transfers are not allowed outside the cluster of 4 [whatever number] maps. Otherwise there is actually no point in playing ark pvp. To what? play against some teenage tards who got most of their stuff through glitching, exploiting, or just got all the stuff long ago when the game was broken and unfinished and lots of stuff was easier to get? Only to get 1 shotted by 100 players with wyverns in the spawn. Or getting picked up and thrown down again because IT MAKES ALOT OF SENSE KILLING THE NEW PLAYERS. Those nerds should play unofficial. Killing every sign of opposition leads to 0 competition. They are basically playing alone on the server. Not to mention they are like rocky balboa vs a 5 year old kid. Surely they call themselves veterans and "PRO" players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Well after 3.8k hours official PvP only my biggest losses where due to: * Volcano getting wiped by WC making me loose my base * People stealing my dinos, lost like 15 gigas 5 wyverns and countless other dinos that way. * Fighting for Ragnarok Servers right after they where added. We had epic 30vs30 people battles, lost some, won some, but we had a blast. Cannot count how many dinos got killed in those but every single one was worth it ^^ I dont count dinos dying as losses, i breed them to die =) My work cannot be lost, i dont work in Ark i Play. Enjoyment comes from playing not from owning. If you enjoy owning dont play Ark =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog1986 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The challenge. AI in games will never match a human's intellect to push you to the extreme and what you have to do to survive. Have had our main base for about 1.5 years, been through many rebuilds. Highest level dino was well into the 300 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have a very poor grasp of the English language (this is me insulting you now btw) because my first post did not throw any "poop" your way lol. Basically just states, agree to disagree, it is what it is, quick rocking the boat. But hey dude, look into it however you want and by all means go ahead and generalize the PvP community into single sentences of disdain and contempt, it shows how manly and how much of an internet touch guy you can be lol. Enjoy being comedic relief for those who will post in this channel doing something you didn't have the patience to do. Godspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
