Jen Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! Introducing... Classic PvP Game Mode! Classic PvP is a new competitive player experience for PC players which focuses on the PvP experience from the days of old. This new game mode will be available specifically on our PC PvP network on April 2nd. The Classic PvP servers are a Snail Games initiative to shake up the current PvP meta. To kickstart this initiative, our existing Conquest servers will be repurposed for isolated Classic PvP clusters. Increased rates on these Classic PvP servers will allow tribes to get established fast, and rebuild after potential losses in the event that everything is lost. We are aware that over time content and creatures added to ARK have heavily changed the previous PvP meta, and there are many players who miss that experience. Some of the best battles came from those early PvP days! Because of this, we will be looking to make more changes over the coming months that are tailored for PvP gameplay, including prioritizing inactive servers on the Official PvP Server Network to support this new mode. Classic PvP Breakdown: Experience gain, taming, gathering, breeding, hatching, and raising rates have been doubled compared to our standard Official Servers (2x) Tribes are set to 25 players max Tribe alliances are disabled, though informal alliances are allowed Servers have a maximum player count of 100 There will be 4 servers on each cluster, for a total of >25 Classic clusters Each cluster will consist of The Island, Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, and The Center Server transfers are only enabled between the 4 servers on each cluster Classic PvP servers are unaffected by Evolution Events Tek dinos (Tek Parasaur, Tek Quetzal, Tek Rex, Tek Raptor, Tek Stego), Giga, Paracer, Quetzal, Tapejara, and the Titanosaur are not available for taming on Classic PvP All Aberration and Extinction content is unavailable on Classic PvP Scaling of weapon damage has been reduced No TEK Engrams We have always been interested in the competitive aspect of ARK and are looking to try fun and exciting things to bring back the best memories of ARK in its early PvP days. As we introduce this new seasonal Classic PvP mode, we'll be looking for your valuable input throughout the duration. As these servers exist to shake up the PvP playstyle, it's possible that they may undergo change and seasonal wipes as the mode matures and we take in more feedback. Server Removal: In order to expand the Classic PvP network, we will be removing some of the inactive PvP servers from our PC network on April 2nd. The Isolated-Ragnarok and Hardcore servers now have one-way transfers enabled so that you can transfer off of your server and preserve your progress if you wish to do so. Please be aware that if you do not move to another server before the April 2nd deadline, you will lose your character, items, and creatures. Below is a list of servers that are up for removal.

Continuing on from last week, the latest episode of Wildcard Workshop takes our targeting list and puts in the implementation to actually direct our sentry creatures to attack specific targets.

Kodking194 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Um olden days PvP was when someone blew a hole in your base took some loot while only killing the creatures that attacked you and left a note. Also if there was a tribe trolling the server the others would band together a d take out that tribe. No .Eva wipes or nothing. So plz enable alliances and make it so you don't not allowed to entirely wipe a base unless they r a troll tribe or the need to. And make sure that you are actually going to supervise the servers and make sure they are cleared of trolls. Also r thread servers coming to consoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodking194 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Yes get rid of the flyer need. that was what made olden days Ark so good. U guys screwed up so bad adding that in.?????????? Edited March 26, 2019 by Kodking194 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuerto94x Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) please make your servers cross platform entirely. Then delete the 6 man servers, legacy and inactive servers. Edited March 26, 2019 by cuerto94x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznoc Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 So you've invested 4-5 months into breeding and building lines into conquest. Then you get a 1 week head's up that all the content you've been working on is going poof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leinadarcher Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 How can you guys be so out of touch when it comes to your game? I get Snail Games is somewhat an independent company that has you guys under control, but wow...those servers are going to be a disaster. - There is nothing competitive about having isolated clusters - Caves and Cliff bases will be essentially unraidable without paracers, quetzals, or cryopods. - You are killing an entire game mode people have worked hard on without any real warning.
