JakeFromStateFarm377 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 So im trying to move some ingots to pay for a dino im buying -- only to go to the obi and find that i have to sit there for 17 minutes (27 minute timer on a drop? DILO?) before uploading? i see they want to prevent duping but DILO.. this timer also reset after leaving the area.. so i have to wait this time every time i go to upload ingots into the obi...huge time waste!!!!

Aldor Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I just did the same, trying to do multiple transfers of ingots (too heavy to do all at once), will take me an hour to do all so it's pretty much killed cross ARK trading. If this is their answer to fix duping I'm gobsmacked. I think I spend half my time in this game AFK or staring at timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFromStateFarm377 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 i just uploaded 1k.. turned to my wyv to grab more, and the timer was doubled to 32 min.. HA. complete joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamagh Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Blame the people duping. They are the reason we can't have nice things. Once again honest people are punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamron Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Blame Wildcard for being unable to fix their problems. Rip Ark... this better be temporary. The backlash won't be pretty if it makes it to console and sticks around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeFromStateFarm377 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 hopefully this upcoming update fixes it .. if they keep this around theyll need to bring back faster q's haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecklessTroll Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 They could just remove the feature for official servers entirely and that resolves the issue. It's also why they need to do a total server wipe of ALL official servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toqs Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I actually like the upload time. Makes duping very hard to do since most dupers have 20min or less after the save point to dupe into the ob. It also makes cross server trading more difficult so people can't buy their way to the end-game. People will have to work their way there and breed more on their own more so than legacy players did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzaiacker Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 yeah I agree, if this is their way of fixing duping its not that good. My one server actually one getting repurposed so had to move and just now earlier when moving my last eggs( which was all left to do) I just finally said the hell with it dropped it and took my quetzal haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingDain Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Maybe its the heavy traffic of everybody evacuating haha. Are you sure thats a feature they inplemented for duping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelanie Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 It's a lazy fix. Absolutely lazy and doesn't take things like milk, trading(one of the biggest parts of the game) and cross-server personal play into account at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racidon Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'd just like to know how hard it is to use a database to store information for a UE based game rather than flat files. A correctly administered database prevents duping all together. It's called a UID on everything....? Thought I'd also add this: This won't stop duping. It just won't be as easy for them. You can transfer with items on you. You can even use the oby or drops to exceed your weight limit. So you just upload yourself with 50 stacks of full metal (1k) and transfer to another server with a bed next to a storage at an obi dump it, then transfer straight back and reboot the server like they always have....

Yep, duping on the new servers is probably going to be rampant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
