If I cant move from one server to another in my armour I don't need some quote from Jen to tell me it's effective its pretty raptoring obvious this timer is destroying travel for the honest survivor's Agreed, it sucks for the honest, but as you know by now, Ark changes are balanced around the official PVP servers. And what type of people do you usually find in spades on public PVP servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StalkinU Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Dear player base, Wildcard screwed us over in the behind yet again. Can anyone explain how item uploads work now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrojado1200 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Normal. But the waiting time increased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS Rockstar who has about 100 times more value, assets and games than Wildcard gave up on fixing duping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on a serious note, players drop items when moving within a cluster? Is it just items in the inventory or is it equipped/hotbar items as well? its the hot bar items also or at least the canteens for me. also ice wyverns now up loadable just you can not get them back out anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraggleRock Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Ok I jumped to last post after first page. Looks to me like there's a serious issue "unresolved" or new game mechanics in general "to be learned"? Which is it? Meanwhile I never lost items when transferring. Dinos used to drop their inventory - there would be a bag on the ground - not anymore, its just deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always emptied when moving to SE. The only reason I asked about the player inventories getting wiped was because people were claiming that was happening. Throughout all of my transfers yesterday, I never lost a single item, so I imagine the issue (if there is one) is quite isolated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptorjesus666 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 so trying to do a trade, involving 1500 adobe walls i can carry 100 walls (weights 400) wait 27minutes, upload take next 100, repeat 5 hours later, finally 1500 uploaded..oopps trade partner offline, no guarantee he comes back tommorow. i see a server update, i'm desperate i take them out (not first time i would lose stuff because of an update) and i'm back at start. gg would "play" again it's like a mini game inside a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkin Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 There is a timer now that goes on everything you pick up, even if it yours. (ie. If you goto your vault and pick up some bullets they will get a 10-30min timer) If you travel to another server while an item has a timer these items just disappear, with out a warning. So you have to gear up for a raid now then sit around and wait 30 minutes, before you can transfer ANYWHERE?? What do they expect you grab all the stuff you need, from your own vaults then watch netflix for 30mins? THIS IS GAME BREAKING!!!! This is the dumbest thing Wildcard has done in a long list of dumb things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laker Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 This is by FAR the dumbest and laziest effort to fix duping. Ruins the game easily. Trades are difficult now, cross server raiding is horrendous. Slows the game down( love sitting in my base for 30 min before I can transfer to a different server). Way to ruin the game with this lazy attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper151 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 i'm not understanding it either.....do you have to upload your items into the ark data folder and wait 40 minutes or do you just have to stand at the obi with the items to transfer and wait 40 minutes? I'm totally confused. Please someone exlain step by step on how to do this the proper way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is to take whatever you want to transfer and put it in your inventory, then wait 30mins, before you can go anywhere off server. It's beyond asinine. It's really like they are trying to destroy their own game, and they have been trying for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkin Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 You literally have to take your saddle off your dino then wait 30mins with it in your inventory before you can transfer with the saddle!!!!!
