Exay Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 ...not just the ones beeing shut down. I don't want to keep playing on an unsupported legacy server, I rather start a nitrado server with the backup file of my server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtallbloke Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 @Jat @Jen i would second this. You have made choices and plans that are now not really what you have stated of late. You give people minimum time to move. Please just give the option of a set date and time to release save states for all the servers (current legacy). Allow people their choice, I am fairly certain you would see a few more "legacy" servers freed up then also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could @Jat or @Jen confirm this? I would love to keep the server that myself and my friends played on alive after all the hours we put into it. Edit: the 2nd to last paragraph has the info you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yekrucifixion187 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If they don't release save files for all servers, perhaps it's possible to move to a server about to be re-purposed with all your stuff in that time frame. That should allow them to upload your data at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuesneith Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 At this point, they should have just re-purposed all of the servers and released the files. If its not going to be supported there is no point. I would rather host my own server with my stuff intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the hope that I can use that file and run it locally in single player or a local home server. I will have a majority of my prize possessions from the eggs and the mammals. I would move all my dinos, but frankly, I don't trust them. I will not put all my fertilized eggs in one basket. I will use the console to create missing BPs and parts for a new base. If it doesn't work, I will still have everything to continue on official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thought of moving my dinos to a soon-to-be word server but I was worried the save would be from before I migrated. Just moving fert eggs solves that worry! Now I just wish I had extras of my high stat mammals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvirusl Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If past history has shown anything, it is that wildcard will screw up the server save files and those at best will be delayed too, and at worst lost altogether. I expect quite a lot of people in this migration will lose everything, not even from people pvp'ing but due to the inability to utilize the cross ark network from their horrible network not being able to handle the traffic. Since they gave only a few days instead of the few weeks like they originally said plus the sheer size of the amount of servers being wiped, the demand on the transfer system is going to be huge. Bravo Wildcard, way to continue driving your steam ratings down, never before have I seen a developer so bent on destroying its own reputation. At least No Mans Sky did it by accident. It seems here that you are trying to purposefully ruin yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isu Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I cannot find it again, but I was reading today that saves were already triggered, they are just waiting to upload it. So moving your stuff there won't help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsWolfy Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Anyone know if the save files can be played on single player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerstuck Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 God only knows how much data a single server save holds. Now for one server I can understand giving it...but for 900+ scrapped servers someone is not going to like hosting that many tetrabytes of data and allowing it to be downloaded.

Exay Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 They really should release all files, a lot more old server could get closed because people would move to dedicated servers with the save file, saves them money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulta Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I second this idea. Make the saves avialabel for ALL Legacy servers, not just the ones who are getting killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyquist Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm gonna laugh/cry when they somehow lose all the server save files Also, I second the idea to publish all save files and just wipe all the legacy servers...rip the band-aid off quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exay Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 I hope we can get a dev response about that. Maybe the Hosts of dedicated servers like Nitrado could also say "Thats a good idea" since they will probably get lots of new paying customers if WC does that.

Voidstar Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I am tired of playing in multiplayer, of the griefing, the lag, the downtime the crashes the errors the bad manangement, non-existent admins etc. Now support is being cut aswell. Can we please have the save from all legacy servers so we could just continue to play in single player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtallbloke Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 They have stated they will release them tomorrow (I guess all being well) but I would think sometime between Now and when the servers come down for the release updates. So if I were a betting man, more likely to be Monday or Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
