smlarf Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi, It would be nice if tek transmitters could be used to summon bosses (like they did in the beginning). Obelisks would be less crowded by parked dinos (mostly rexes). Sincerely, Alf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowly Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Teleporter option Place the tributes into the teleporter inventory and it allows you to run the boss fight from there Or have a transmitter within a certain proximity of a teleporter and be able to run the fight from the teleporter but crafted in the transmitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaculity Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It was removed for a reason, because people can literally abuse the transmitter feature and force teleport several dino just to kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This used to be an option? Im confused how it was abused, if your transmitter is locked then only your tribe can initiate the fight so only your Dino's should be around the transmitter to go into the fight And if it's the teleporter that you are talking about, again if the teleporter is locked then only your Dino's should be on your teleporter pad. I must be missing something obvious here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be missing something obvious here Yes, it was there in the past and lock or no lock, can still transport any dino that are permitted into the arena, but perhaps those older players than me can explain further.

So if it was brought back, And wait are we talking teleporter or transmitter as there are different options for both, Right now you can send My Dino's around a supply drop or obelsik to a boss fight But if they had it so only the tribe that owned the structure transmitter or teleporter could access the structure to initiate the fight I fail to see where the issue lies on PvE. On PvP if you are picking up Dino's to teleport them to a boss fight then you can do that from a supply drop or obelisk. Or just drop them in an ocean or kill them so again I fail to see an issue. But if you care to try and explain more to me I'd love to hear what your concerns are with this system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyhobo Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 when it was enabled they would go up to a persons dinos that where online but didn't noticed it and put it on a pacer and then teleport there dinos into the boss raid and make the person lose there dinos or they would raid with them on it and do the same thing mult times to kill the dinos by teleporting them into the arenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just kill them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should also be able to craft a replicator in one as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiSaurus Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Agreed, at least for PVE (don't know what the ramifications for PVP would be). It's super annoying having tribes leave all their dinos on/around the obelisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireSam7 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I think this is another point where pvp and pve gameplay are different from one another. There were issues when they allowed access from transmitters before with many pvp servers. However, I also think it is another point where it would be nice to have the ability to choose if the server has the functionality through the server settings. Just because it didnt work with one specific group, doesn't mean it wouldn't work with another. I know the group on the server I admin on would love the convenience of this idea.

Demerus Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Enable Boss Fights using Transmitter [PVE] @Cedric For too long now, PVE server obelisk platforms have been parking lots for multiple tribes and random players. There is a simple solution to fix this problem and that is to enable Transmitters to summon Boss arenas. This will drastically remove the need for tribes to leave all their boss dinos on the platform 24/7. Sure some random players will transfer off and leave their dino behind on the platform but it wont have nearly the same amount of impact to bossing as it does now if Transmitters can do the same job as the obi. Some will argue to just use Drops to do bosses. Yes this is an alternate method to avoid obelisks but not reliable and time sensitive. Depending on the map and area you could be waiting forever for a drop to come down and once it does come down it will only stay around for 1 boss fight then it will decay by the time you port back out of the arena. Thus waiting again for another drop. Not to mention, some players have build their bases around certain drops blocking access because they need something dedicated for their own tribe to use. To put my point across of why Transmitters for bossing are necessary and will help solve the problem; Below are some obelisks on multiple servers I have been to during my ARK trading career. You can see tons of bossing dinos and random tames littered around the platform and surrounding perimeter. Good luck doing bosses at these obelisks: Enabling the transmitters to do bosses will make the monopoly of holding the obelisks hostage with tame spam obsolete.

Aylana314159 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Great suggestion. Well written argument with photo evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireSam7 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I have read there were arguments against this at some point for PVP, however for the sake of PVE, I think it is an excellent idea. I too have seen the massive dino count being stored directly near or on the obelisks as your images show. In some cases it has made the area very laggy and hard to maneuver around. If not enabled when PVE gameplay is selected, then it would be a nice option or code line to have that could be turned off or on by the host.

Sideswipe Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I think this would be a fine idea. For PVE. PVP? Not so much but it shouldn’t be had to enable it separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
