ObscuredSpectre1989 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I think a few servers should be wiped for sure. I’ve been playing the game for 9 month so and there’s only one thing I’ve ever experienced wrong with it all... I am absolutely SICK of trolls raiding me just to throw out and despawn all my items. I almost never get raided genuinely, I always get discovered by passing trolls and they just tranq me and discard everything, kill an unconscious Dino I’m trying to tame and raptor off only to return to do it again. Over it, it’s not fair conduct and should be banned. Should be a code of conduct for alpha tribes because it just ruins the game for everyone else.

What you just described is the basic Ark experience on PvP Officials. And would happen to you again 3 days after a wipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the game has gotten to a point where everyone so stacked up and the official servers are not as fun anymore. Does anyone else feel like they should wipe again and should have a yearly wipe schedule? My personal opinion, wipe it and also make it x2 with x3 weekends (not breeding).

I'm fine with an annual wipe of the AnnualWipe servers (don't misspell that!), once WC creates that set of servers. But let's define this a bit more. I think it should be 'Generation' servers, as in, once the ingame-timer has reached either 30 years, or 100 years, then the server gets wiped. Could actually create different variations Gen30, Gen100, etc, to identify how long they survive. But as for the existing Official PvP/E servers, heck no!

SMP Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'd like to see random wipes. Every server has a timer set to a random expiration date and once the timer is up... POOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaiks Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I wipe right now would be a mistake. Most megas and alphas were built over dupping and meshing and while those problems are not fixed or greatly reduced a wipe would solve nothing. But when those issues are gone or at least managed, a wipe would be the fair thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneSniperzzz Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I think we must see this from 2 sides: The Official PVE: People they only want to play the game and Dont want to be wiped they want to progress in the Game and Have some Fun with Other's. When they was wiped,, only'' after the time since The New Server started they want to quit the Game.They still needed their Time also fir The Real Life. Official PVP: People that loves to build Defense Bases and Grow up very fast they know they can wiped every day in the Game! They Breed for Fights and Lose Dinos! They made Tribe with few peoples and try to defend enemys! I think thats not good to Wipe,, All'' Especially PVP! When some People need a fresh Start please make place For the New Survivors and create a New Character! No one from The 1 person Tribes has grind weeks over weeks to filled all the Turrets that made your Tribe Save... Hours of Hours! When you are mad to be raided as a 1 person tribe check the bigger tribes to join! Or made you invisible for them! I think Close the Legacy Server you have say this years ago and set them freshly up as Beginner Server's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengecide Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Now that people are duping again yes they should definitely be wiped, only only if they officially solve the problems. They need to remove any items from the game that makes meshing possible or fix them so they can only be used a certain way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
414GooN Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yes please do a full server wipe the game is completley 1 sided right now not just for new players but also old ones as well even with new dlc and servers being put in once transferring in becomes available for valguero new players and even experienced players have no way possible to survive the ark with mega tribes just completely covering the maps with spam and the flooding of the servers with dinos and structures that probably have been dupped a few times there is no possible way of defending against within the short period of time we have to build up before transferring in is enabled i consider myself a very experienced ark player and have had my fair share of wipes as we all do but its to the point where experience can't even make a difference anymore just the number of tribemates matter now. Extinction servers had the exact same issue once transferring in was made available and is now unplayable to anyone not affiliated with a mega tribe because spawns are blocked off so we are unable to enter the map,attempt tame titans, do element vains, or just simply pvp its not fair to anyone that buys an expansion that they are unable to experience the dlc because mega tribes that had the resources or the slaves decided they were gonna lockdown the servers for their own personal benefits and screw everyone else they also use this method to go against wildcards rules and force players to buy dinos with real life money because if theres an exclusive dino only obtainable on a map you are unable to spawn in or play on to obtain 1 how else can you get it unless you never get 1 or are forced to pay for 1 so i vote yes a fresh start/wipe of all servers should be considered so the game is not pay to win but play to win.

For the love of Moses who aligns their text in the center of their posts? Between that and your lack of periods you've made my eyes bleed today good sir. As to your point, I can't say much because I am on PvE and you are obviously on PvP but jerks are going to always be jerks. Even if you wiped the mega tribes and gave everyone an equal playing field their manpower, organization, and overall experience will give them an advantage and they'll be back where they were in no time doing the exact same thing. On the actual topic I probably don't have anything new to add to the discussion 5 pages in but I'd say that adding separate servers with a wipe function would be fine but would be adamantly opposed to wiping all existing servers. Most of the complaints I get from people on PvE is that they have nowhere to build because of the pillars but in most cases this is new people to the server and once they look around and find a spot they like they usually settle down. Obviously WC wants to appeal to new players but please don't do so at the expense of players that have been on this game since beta, such as myself. Thanks.

If a wipe is necessary, which with all the duped gear out there I think it just might then why not at least reward everyone with an elevated and extended evolution event, it just makes sense to me. I wouldn't necessarily omit breading either since the larger tribes being wiped will of course lose a ton of bred dinos as well. This should and would of course apply to PVP official servers only and not PVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread has completely went off topic. Yes the servers should be wiped cause the megas are hording away mass amounts of duped items and it's not fair to new tribes trying to build up. Bit also it wouldn't change who the megas were they would be alphas again because they are large coordinated groups. Also wiping the servers is useless if they haven't found a real solution to the duping and meshing because we would just back in the same place. The ultimate goal really should be to find who has the duped items and video shot it , screenshot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemcrystal Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Wiping will not fix the problem. Not unless it was an in real life mind wipe of all the people who have played this game since beta. There will always be an unfair advantage in pvp and pve of those who just simply know more than you do about game dynamics. It sucks and it is a big hit on the ego. It also drives people apart and makes an unfriendly back biting community. The game itself is fun but single player is way to boring and unofficial is way to rural. There really isn't any way to fix Ark official. One can only hope someone else produces a similar game with more solo boosting dynamics. One with roaming mobs, pet collections and house building. A game that does not look like a candy store with lego sales exploded in your eyeballs (not talking about ark). Ark is a good game but it's not perfect. And it is not fix'able. You would have to gut it and rebuild from the ground up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
