SirGreenDay Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Since I'm new to this I didn't know if this is normal. Its a PVE server and he has out a wall completely across the beach and surrounding area. The only way past now is a long swim in the ocean. If people can do just take huge areas of the map the pretty soon there won't be anything left for other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zadira Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Yes, griefing has become quite the thing on official pve servers. The devs have plans to figure out how to keep this from happening but we will have to be patient. If people are building things to keep others from enjoying the game, you can send in an email at supports@studiowildcard.com . It is very important to send in specific information with lots of proof. Devs are great at helping out but they need good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zadira Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I am not sure how to get pictures on xbox. Hopefully someone else might know. Is xbox like pc? I know the devs on the pc are able to go in game and help. We might have to be a bit more patient for the devs to work out these problems if there are not admins on xbox.

GaMMaToXiX Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 If your sending an email simply take a pic with your phone and attach to he email. Also if you don't like people being greedy and paranoid come play in pvp official servers. Little more realistic and people are less inclined I find to mess with your stuff if they are aware that they can be taken down a notch or two. Also makes horsing materials and having free range of the land more realistic with certain tribes having let's say ownership of surronding area around their base. Also it is fun making alliances and trading and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MolonLabe0928 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm not entirely sure this is griefing. This is just the player driven society marking territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RjMcReady Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yeh, I cant call a large wall griefing. I know my tribe likes to wall off large areas to keep all our dinos in. Its not Griefing, its just our land. Now if they have not fixed PVE pillaring, thats griefing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're walling off other player structures, then I'd call it greifing. I will say one thing is that I have seen a lot of people begin building near my tribe's base as we got larger, but we tried not to wall them off until they began poaching into our area for resources.

On Xbox, you can take a screen shot. You should be able to to get Xbox pics and maybe even a 30 second video from the website on you pc and or phone. Attach the subject matter to the appropriate email and seelnd to wildcard, Xbox, Microsoft, whoever you want to and esp whoever is the appropriate channel. I hope this helps, and if this is too complicated, as an earlier poster said, take a pic with your phone and email it...include several pics from different angles and locations.

udo Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 players walling off beaches stopping other player from freely walking across map is just selfish there is no though for other new players in their thinking. i play on pve sever and have seen this attempted a few times ,its not good for other new players as they will then have to find a way around ,often having to venture further inland (which they are usually not prepared for being new / low lvl ) or into the sea / rivers and then dying to dinos / piranha / sarco etc i personally being a more established player try to talk to other new players doing this , if it doesn't work i just metal pillar all over the area i think they are going to be building ( yes i know 2 wrongs don't make a right but if they are just plain not thinking of others they deserve it ) until they rethink there building plans . then i will happily remove all previously placed pillars .

kovhomicide Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Not sure what the devs could do on xbox. My server has had an issue with tribes double pillaring the whole underworld on center blocking access to almost have every cave and just recently started throwing double pillars up every open space of land they can find.

madfretter Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 People build large areas with gates because other people for some reason just love to build right on top of them... Theres a million ways to fix this, but as this year old thread proves, they still haven't. This game is broken and I'm not sure anymore the intention is in the correct spot to fix it.
