I''m new to ARK and I will start off by saying, WOW this game is amazing! With that being said, I have found numerous player created pillars (wood, rock, metal) plastered all over in the recommended new charactere starter areas. This allowed practice makes it unessararly difficult to level up
Due to being to close to a created pillar, the system will not allow a the placement of ANYTHING near them. Example: firepit, storarge box, base foundation, ect. I would understand this if I was actually attempting to build near a vaild land claim/base, but in this case it is not valid. This allowed practice of placing random pillars all over the land to stake a claim is only to prevent new characters/players from leveling up in areas that are rich in plant, animal and mineral resources or having close access to water.
These pillars are not able to be destroyed on a PVE server and both the PVE/PVP pillars have a 11 plus day count down until they can be destroyed. I suspect the players that will respond to this practice will be those that already have established bases and are themselves a high level and employ this pillar land grab tactic.
May I recommend a rule be put in place that level 20+, not be allowed to place pillars, or any other items that will prevent new players/characters from leveling up. This may be be a poor example but Blizzard World of Warcraft has specic areas that are desinged for starter characters and are protected from highlevel player interference. The allowed low level builds would each have a set decay time regardless if the players level up or not, thus preventing campers from long term stay. The land area itself would be fairly large to accodate thes new charater builds for the purpouse of leveling up. If the player levels up quicly to the predefined max level for this area, ALL build items would have 24 hour decay or sooner. Also, they would not be allowed to place additional pillars outside of thier starter build, since their land plot would be size restricted. This starter plot is not intended to be a permanent base, but one allow them to learn/aquire the needed skills to survive outside of the starter area/land.
ARK is an open world that is truely amazing! The abity to grow ones character from the ground up and forever change the world eniroment allowing not only the builds to be a personal/tribe accomplishment and home base, but can in turn be the "Boss" that others players strive to pillage/destroy. The sence of adventure in ARK is increadable. As one awakens and ventures out into the world, there is a sence of aw and wonderment , then the adrenaline rush when one is attacked by an assortment of creatures. This area in time becomes one home until they are skilled/strong enough to venture deeper past their spawn point/home and the sence of adventure starts all over again.
Coming into ARK late but I truely do enjoy what has been created and looking forward training my tame, to belonging to a tribe and exploring, learning and .. dying in more ways than I could have ever imagined.
