Suggestion: I want beginner servers to have ZERO NPC hostiles. This is 100% configurable (I done it on my Singleplayer).
My thoughts/opinions/stories/etc:
Defensive creatures are ok imo, like trikes and stegos. But things that attack without poking them (or cause other creatures to attack), I would not want them on beginner servers (i.e. carnos, dragonflies, pachyrhinos, etc)
I have heard from many people's first moments of Ark.. Most (if not all) of them died to a creature, many of them died in less than 5 minutes, and some of them died before they could figure out how to pick up rocks, or even open their inventory.
Many of them never tried Ark again.
My first attempt at Ark (August 2015), I was blinded by a wild dilo in less than a minute in game, and quickly died, there were two dilos there where I spawned.
But because I was there to help a friend, I kept going. Died to dilos again. I still didnt know how to make a stone pick, nor punched a single tree yet.
20k hours later, I still die to stuff. But I have a base and tames to help make item recovery much much easier, and deaths happen far less often.
Beginner servers need to be for those who do not know how to play Ark, and give them a chance to learn how to control their character. and also for those who would like to play Ark without getting attacked by anything (heck, I might even play there if there were no hostiles).
Both PvP and PvE should be beginner game modes (but if I had it my way, only PvE).
Summary/TL;DR:
I suggest more survivability in Beginner Servers for those who dont know how to pick up rocks (yet).
