Wowiwon Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 How many people would really quit ark if the ultimate wipe happened, but after it they implemented a new kibble system and building system? So everyone goes back to having nothing, however you no longer need a kibble farm, regions get locked, and pillars become a thing of the past. It would no doubt make some hardcore players pissed but it would help with so many issues. This is just hypothetical. Thoughts? Worth it? I would start from scratch for these fixs!

yekrucifixion187 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 i'd be ok building back up. I felt originally when many of the legacy flaws traveled with us to the new server's that I could never rebuild but I have been more satisfied the last month or so with Ark's direction to the point that I may even finally buy Aberration though I want to see a reduction in lag first. I feel the customer support is moving in the right direction even if it's not where it needs to be yet I think certain implementations have gone over well and were needed I know this game is far from polished but I've seen more positive moves in my opinion over the last 2 months so my hope is still strong that they will continue to make beneficial calls. I am tek and metal heavy. All non-abb engrams with exception of tek cave run though that will be happening soon. Well set up on my server. I wouldn't necessarily want a wipe just for building or kibble rework but if it was to add better hardware thus giving us better security in game (fixing eating glitches, undermeshes, etc.) and to provide a smoother playing experience, for that I'd be ok to start back up. I can't fault those who wouldn't though. A lot of work, a lot of hours, for a second wave of "it means nothing." I'd get why they'd throw their hands up in disgust never to return.

Scheneighnay Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The game gets boring once you have a base established anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdligerAdler Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Ark without pillars? Without claiming land you mean? No thanks. Constant frustration because people build very close to you or block ressources, pathways and spawns. Noobs surrounding your base with thatch shacks.

Locked regions is a bad idea because international tribes exist. What could help: making tribes global, tribe size limit of 15, alliance size limit of 3 tribes, numbers of alliances per tribe - 1. And there is no fix for pillaring as long as players can build everywhere. Taking away that ability would take a lot out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regions on official need to be locked because everyone flocks to NA servers and destroys the latency. One of my servers is often unplayable when all the foreigners are online. Most other online games will either kick you or not allow you to join if your ping to the server is too high but ark is completely unregulated in that regard and it destroys the experience for those of us playing on our appropriate servers. This is one of the biggest problems with the game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would enjoy Aberration! The best way to play it is starting fresh though. I cant remember if you are on official or a private, if private you will have an absolute blast starting fresh. On topic: I would still play. I enjoy starting fresh and would gladly restart with these magical fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiss Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'd still play, but on my own server, starting on the new DLC map when it comes out, where I have nothing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0mbie Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Most Veterans of the game have restarted from scratch many times so I don't think that would be a big problem. Not sure you could convince WC to lock regions th0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggyn Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I would start over, but the changes would make it feel forced so i would have to see how it would work before i could judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wipe the servers again the game is finished imo would be an awful move breeding stats would be wiped out and then its back to day 1..... easy for the scrubs to agree to that but when you have multiple servers with multiple bases all full of ahit and caves packed out etc etc then nah am good mate think wont go for the wipe lol. seriously just place extinction servers if you want a server wipe the legacy wipe made sense as everyone had hundreds of vaults filled with poop. Dupings not been an issue on the new servers really dont get what all the crying is about. Building up/farming etc is easy and the most fun but i just dont want to fo back to taming poop dinos looking for stata to breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meierholtz Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I just moved from xbox over to PC... A server wipe would greatly help me out in terms of being so far behind everyone. It would be incredibly unfair to players and alpha/mega tribes with thousands of time invested. I clearly wouldnt quit if it hypothetically happened now. But in a thousand hours... Id be devestated to start over. Still probably wouldnt quit unless they made server wipes a constant thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerstuck Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Would restart only if building was truly improved, if kibble system was really improved. Otherwise...don't think I have the patience to do it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a vote, many would agree. They need to make new servers with more strict rule enforcement and better customer support, region locks, (insert other conditions here), AND charge a $4.99 Monthly subscription. Subcontract the admin positions if they don't have the man power. I'd do it in a heart beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSoul996 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I regularly start from scratch anyway. I play pve and pvp on both ps4 and pc so I usually jump around quite a lot. I've reached endgame in both modes and ultimately I end up getting bored. The fun for me is the fight to get established so a full wipe wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Nickoli1900 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Wipe wouldn't bother me, I start over every 4-6 months anyway. The early stages of the game are more fun imo. Once I have good fliers, wyverns, rex/gigas, the rest of the game feels a bit repetitive. After caves/bosses, there's very little to hold my interest. I'm not really a fan of breeding, so I trade. Just logging in for meat runs isn't fun. I enjoy the taming & base building though. Atm I've lost interest so my base decayed, lol. Replaying Witcher 3 atm. May play again when they implement Titan as a permanent tame. A portable fortress would be fun to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
