RyanV Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The lag on the new servers are now worse than legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracul Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 UPS: Servers are less likely to up and vanish in less than six months, unless your on legacy. No admin abuse, no favoritism (not even as a human being), dont need to install sixty seven mods to begin playing/constantly update said mods. DOWNERS: Offline raiding, exploiting, anything to give a unfair advantage over other players for pvp. Being treated like a second class citizen, getting nerfed constantly as a byproduct of pvp changes, rampant landclaim greed and mass dino hoarding turning entire servers into the personal sandbox of 10-20 people tops and or devastating server performance for consoles - as far as PVE goes. (Seriously now LANDCLAIM SYSTEM and KIBBLE REWORK wildcard, those should have been done pre release.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodTear Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Lately I would say the lag is the worst part. Lost several dinos to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgirl Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 best:friends I have made worst: Being at the mercy of the devs, whatever they say goes, there is no changing it. (changing the collection rates/undoing the flier nerf/no replacements for lost things due to glitches and such) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataclisto Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yes, lag is the worst thing with these new servers, I walked off our buildings a few times today cause of it, also took stuff out of a chest then rubberbanded across the area with too much stuff and couldn't move or place it in anything today, then people cant enter servers cause they are full on weekends..... Also no live moderation which makes the chats get out of hand some days. Best part are the connections with people that you make, unofficial gets boring after awhile as most are smaller population, or tailered to specific people. Official allows you to meet and become friends with many more people then a unofficial server would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggravating Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Best is making friends and a community and a greater sense of achievement and worst is lag and griefing with lack of support to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaProiettile Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Best: No admins and therefore no admin abuse. I know who my enemy is they have a tribe name and I can freely go and kill them without having an admin come and delete my base for doing so. Worst: Mega tribes. Allowing 70 players in one tribe is very bad for competitive PVP and as a result a lot of Official servers stagnate into PVE servers where everyone is friendly because no one has the numbers to challenge the mega tribe.

Enzo15 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Worst is go to connect and your server is 70/70 and have to be 1 hour spaming clicks to connect. Best i think wc support you and not close the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l4m3r Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Best Part: Many Diplomatic Worst Part: Unkown Informations about what coming (Event weekends yes or no with breeding or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewiatan Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Pros: Servers will be always online unless the company goes bankrupt or they decide to close them. Cons: Ridiculous grind, rubberbanding, lag, very low quality customer service, pillaring, dealing with all gameplay design flaws that were fixed or improved on modded unofficial servers.

Anarki Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I like the fact that we are near capacity, and when you want to chat or ask a question there is always someone to answer. There are some really good relationships on our server and its always a bonus when you need some help. The downside by having so many players is the Lag. Partly my own fault for playing a US server when Im in the UK but that's where my clan play - they're americans! Our server so far has been stable, and hasnt caused me any outages which is nice too. 90% happy with my official I play on tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrallox Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Best: Having so many servers connected to each other so that one can trade, travel, and fight across hundreds of slightly different maps with potentially thousands of people. Never having to deal with the problems of unofficial servers. Worst: The people of Wildcard...because they're so AWESOME and it's possible to have too much of a GOOD thing.

BladeChaser2516 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 BEST: MAKING FRIENDS AND FORMING NEW ALLIES, TRADING, BUYING AND SELLING, AND HONESTLY IF ITS SOMETHING SMALL MOST PEOPLE WILL JUST GIVE YOU THINGS FOR EXAMPLE A GUY PLAYING LAST NIGHT ASKED IF ANYONE HAD CEMENTING PASTE FOR SALE AND ANOTHER GUY JUST GAVE IT TO HIM BECAUSE HE HAD SO MUCH. HAVING A COMMUNITY LIKE THAT IS JUST AMAZING. (OF COURSE I AM PVE COULD BE DIFFERENT ON PVP) WORST: THERE ARE SOME AWFUL PEOPLE ON THEM AS WELL I'VE ACTUALLY HAD A THREAT OF TITANOSAURS (BACK WHEN THEY WERE AN ISSUE) BECAUSE OF WHERE I BUILT MY BASE. LUCKY I HAD MADE FRIENDS WITH SOME OF THE ALPHA TRIBES AND THEY HELPED STOP THEM. PLUS THE GATHER, TAMING, BREEDING, XP, ETC. ARE AWFUL IT TOOK ME ALMOST TO HOURS TO TAME A LVL 25 BEAVER YESTERDAY. I ASK IF ANYONE HAD A THYLA FOR SALE AND THEY ONLY HAD A BABY BUT HAD TO TURN IT DOWN BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF IT. I DO LOVE THE EVOLUTION EVENTS THOUGH THAT'S WHEN I GET MOST OF MY WORK DONE. AND PILLARS ARE AWFUL BAD PART ABOUT THAT IS THEY FIXED IT NOW THERE IS A WORK AROUND BY ADDING A LADDER DONT KNOW IF THAT WAS WILDCARD OR JUST A BUG SOMEONE FOUND UNLESS PILLARS, FOUNDATIONS, ARE INSIDE OF A WALL THEY SHOULD HAVE A SHORTY DECAY TIME. 1 hour ago, Anarki said: The downside by having so many players is the Lag.

I ACTUALLY PLAY ON AN EU SERVER BECAUSE THE US SERVERS HAVE SO MUCH LAG AND I LIVE IN THE US SO ITS NOT JUST YOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddansen Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I think the best and worst part is the people playing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBrandts Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Best - option to trade with all the servers... Worst - cheap host with tons of lags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironknuckles Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Best: The servers are high population and permanent. This is important because the majority of Unofficials are low in population. The admin will quit playing and stop paying the server bill or there are server wipes once a month and you can't get anything accomplished. Worst: Low rates and lack of tribe member limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidstar Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 best: meeting people, suffering together worst: server stability - many unannounced server restarts- + lots of crashes, some keeping the server down for even days huge lag huge rubberbanding bad communication no admins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor117 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Lag is worse than on legacy now mostly due to the lack of servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyB Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Like everyone else said already, best part is the community, making great friends and terrible enemies, the worst is the stupid lag and timers on uploading your stuff when transferring.

Demerus Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Pros: .................................................................. Cons: -Same or worse problems and performance than Legacy. -Overburdened Support Staff -Recurring Bugs even after patches or breaking more things. At least we have a TEK Light though.
