Day Zero: Server Information

Recommended Posts

@Jat You just broke my heart with the news that we won't have access to the save files without paying a subscription. I just wanted to have the dinosaurs I invested real-world time into breeding available on a private server. But first it was impossible to transfer from Official to Unofficial, and now you're telling me I can only have them if I pay a continuing subscription for them? Will I at least be able to transfer from the paid unofficial server to my own unpaid unofficial server, so I don't have to KEEP paying Nitrado for a service I neither need nor want?

I have a computer ready to run a server, all the settings tailored to my preferences, I just can't get the dinos over there. Is my only option really to cheat-spawn new dinos (without the mutation stats the old ones had), cheat them to the colors the old ones had, and pretend that they're the same? If that's the case, I really wish you'd told us that up front, so I wouldn't have spent the last two weeks maintaining dinosaurs I erroneously thought I'd get save files for. You get to make whatever decisions you want, but I wish you'd be honest with us about what those were going to be so we could plan accordingly. I'd rather be disappointed and move on than have my hopes crushed and be more disappointed in the end. Especially since I could have moved things to a Legacy server that will survive the release, if you'd alerted us what "we will make the save files available" was really going to mean more than 3 hours before their server got destroyed.

So, as an xbox guy, will all be well on realease? Ive played for the 2 years of Game Preview, hella of a good time might i say, and want to know if my legacy server will be available to play after the update? And will there be legacy ragnarok servers to go and get griffins and ice wyverns to transfer to my scortched server? Thank you Wildcard for such an amazing game.

Ah crap, gotta pay for my legacy servers?

ROFL ok, chill man, putting H1z1 in same context is a bit silly but ok

I should have elaborated. The legacy servers will be full of cheaters and hackers (within Battleeye's software) purely because no reports will be acted on.

I can tell you now that there's at least 200 people that were looking forward to the new prim servers that are pretty peeved at this decision as we all know they will give Prim+ PVE servers again... and they will give non-tek PVE servers again... both of which are a complete waste of resources. They'd be better making them full vanilla PVE. Basically the majority of those prim boys and girls are going to come to non-prim now and completely troll everyone they can... I'll be there with them

 

So the new players are going to now have a few choices... PVE (with all the pillar spam I see PVErs complaining about here), Prim+ with all the associated bugs with it, Legacy with all the exploiters, New servers non-tek or full vanilla with salty zergers raiding them every day...

 

Also just to confirm how easy this will be, Battle Metrics , Check profile (if not private, good chance they are new), if they just purchased ARK in the last few weeks, goto server, wipe each base you can find, leave, find another server, continue and repeat...

You already removed half of the primitive servers as is. now most of us have been waiting patiently for our new servers and you announce last minute there will be none? not even one server per region? and no we dont want primitive + i used to play that before it was an official mod. i made my mind up about it. no we dont want normal ark or any thing else. why include primitive in this server wipe crap if your not even giving us new servers.   

Prim + is actually really decent and easy to build up large on, sounds like someones been on there and salty they got wiped.

My server was one getting deleted. If your server wasn't deleted, you won't have to pay. If you're like me, though, and were hoping to have the save files to play on an unofficial dedicated server, then yeah, you'll have to pay Nitrado, because apparently there's "sensitive information" in the save files. I wish they'd just delete that "sensitive information" and give us the rest for free.

Hi there Jat and my fellow survivors! I have a question some may have an answer to. I recently purchased a DoDo server. I play mainly on The Island as Ive only had the game about a month or so. My question is, with the DoDo server and Ragnarok map, can I switch maps and still retain my progress on The island!? Also any chance in the near future you guys could get together and switch the shoulder mounts actions for Triangle/Y to L1. Something like holding L1 will release the mount and double pressing it will whistle it back to your shoulder?  I find L1 doesn't really have a purpose and its tiring constantly picking up rocks and berries trying to release it. I also wanted to ask if we can get a Hawk and a Fox. Mostly for hunting, I could use the fix or hawk to stun the creatures on the ankle. Hawk can search certain dinos. All shoulder mounts. Thanks! I cant wait for the new update!

Nope actually i was on the original PVP test server made by the mod dev but when we went on we where not aloud to pvp. then we created our own server with the mod and had great fun with it. but in the end it got old real fast and for a better experience i went back to normal primitive.

Crap. We are quite build up on an official scortched server. Not one that is being deleted. Might as well start anew. Im sorry your server is being deleted.

Move on man join the new servers and play the game. You just invested too much time into a GAME PREVIEW come to terms with this and you will be fine.

the  yes R3 i must be dumb?

I think they might have been trying to say that Primitive is very different to just a 'Non-TEK' server, so in effect they've killed off the Primitive game mode on official servers (unless any are to remain on Legacy, of course). I'm not sure why WC decided to go down this route (although I can guess), I'd have personally thought a couple of Primitive and this new 'Non-TEK' format could live alongside each other...
