LycristKatkiller Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 SP What's the point of playing on the island with everything built on OR playing if you can't tame anything bigger than a Parasaur... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldster Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'm 99% PVE. Depends on the type of PVP though. I enjoyed Halo multiplayer for a decade because there was barely any mental pvp, it's 90% twitch based action pvp. In that case the other players could just as well be a well tuned AI. When mental pvp is introduced in any significant quantity I tune out totally. Plus I like extended farming journeys and building sessions and not too many pvpers can sit through them without their pants ants getting riled up, and then I find a giga traipsing through my peaceful harvesting army.

I couldn't survive on offical PVP these days.. not enough time to play that's why I play single player... I got about 1k hours on PVP (some prim+), probably more, but I can not be bothered playing a game where 90% of the features are unavailable because if you do them, someone will just wipe out your process while you sleep... no matter if offline or clubbed (broken club is just DILO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriKruReaper Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Pvp always. I like the pve aspect but once you get a base built up and have a big tribe with all your tames, theyre is no reason to breed for new high levels in pve. where as in pvp your always striving to try to get 1 up on the enemy or possible enemies. Always room to make your defenses better and raise higher stat tames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree: at some point there is on progression to be made in PVE or SP... but in PVP there is no progression unless - you have a big tribe - play on a frequently or at least recently wiped server - both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriKruReaper Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yeah If you don't have a big tribe you will be wiped often so I guess its safe to say pve curves towards small tribes to solo players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutsiderForLife Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'm a PvE guy. It's more laid back, and I enjoy the peacocking aspect of it. Have mostly had positive interactions while playing, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyMonkey Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 My clan mostly consists of RL friends and we played a fair bit of PvP back when we all played Ark but since the tribe split, I spend out my days hosting PvE for a small community. It requires the least amount of effort to maintain and because I play other games more than Ark, it made the most sense to stay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcadden Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 PVE, but on unofficial with wild pickup (and other modifications). I recently discovered that on clustered maps, tribes don't stick across maps, so the small group that I play with have plans to convert one of our clustered servers into an "events" PVP server. First "event" is a clean Island map with uploads/downloads disabled and no tribes. So 5-6 of us on the Island, all starting naked on the beach, but with full PVP. Gives the thrill of PVP but the safety of PVE on our other clustered maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowBoyKillers Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I like the PVP mechanics and playing against other people but its close to impossible to play PVP on official servers now a days. I wont say all but most Mega tribes have 100's of players and all they do is just fill up the server so that no one can log on to defend. Only a matter of time before its gone, but that's if your lucky enough to even get started on a PVP without being base wiped and dino's killed daily, don't know how it is on a small tribe server. PVE is what I play now and don't even really play all that much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpcab Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Official pve on this game brings the worse of the human beings to the game imo. An environment of hypocrisy and cowardice. Not all ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaNKao Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The pve is better for the security of not losing the base is that the pvp is much more fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaprosuchus Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I prefer PVE. I gain no joy from destroying other people's hard work or having my own hard work destroyed purely because someone had a bad day and didn't get tips on any of the pizzas they delivered today.

johnm81 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Normally 100% PvP official servers (conquest for much less cheating). Long time ago I learned what I love about survival genre games. That is the thrill of the challenge of surviving with odds against you. The Ark environment poses no threat. Its the threat of other humans that is the truly scary element. So striving to survive against constant human aggression is what I enjoy. Now I wish someone would create an unofficial server that is pve 27 days a month with 3 being a pvp purge event. I would try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarMerc89 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Personally, I'm strictly on Singleplayer until I can get a better feel for the game. Does anyone here use console commands and/or cheats with any regularity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
