nworlds Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Nerfing TekSuit Durability is probably a good thing.... Guess it's good balance for (at least official) PvP servers to reduce the durability by pretty much 50%... B U T Why WHY W H Y Do you need to hardcode that stupid nerf for everyone??????? I run my own PvE cluster and we like 3003 durability! on a PvE server it doesnt matter at all, so why not have a variable set for pvp only? after all it should be our own decision on PRIVATE servers!

Zen00 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The real question is why do you need 3000 durability tek armor? I've been running around in my 300 durability primitive set for months and they're still at about 40% durability. About the only time armor durability matters is if I stupidly put myself into a position where I can be eaten by something. And that's just so I can come back later to retrieve it.

nworlds Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 point completely missed! I couldn't care less what you prefer for your armor durability or how you use it dear sir forum warrior, the point and reason for my post is simply WHY apply pvp related nerfs to PRIVATE pve servers, when it would be so simple to use a variable for it and do their heroic nerfing on their own official ones!

Jopis Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 With all lags and crashes on oficial servers high durability saves life alot times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rintrahhh Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 If they reduce the durability then I hope they also reduce the resource requirements to craft them. Every piece of my ascendant tek armor was around 13,000 ingots each!! Plus the black pearls etc... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probitas Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I don't think they have even addressed how this affects all the incoming damage. And I will second the point about adjusting crafting costs. If you are going to reduce function, reduce the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nworlds Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 they actually RAISED the repair cost... go figure! Increased TEK Suit repair costs by approximately 20% Wearing a full TEK suit will prevent you from being targeted by bees when opening a bee hive Capped TEK Suit durability at 1500 TEK Suit repair costs now scale with quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukushu Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Maybe someone will make a MOD for the tek armor on unofficial. As for official all the nerfs are amazing, the MEK and Tek suit wipes will cripple the huge dupers, at least for some weeks. They should have put a limit on the MEK stats to prevent further abuse. I can understand the frustration but 1500 is still a lot if you play PVE this will nearly never break unless you crash in the middle of 10 dinos attacking you. Like I said, maybe someone will bring out a MOD to fix this for all unofficial players unhappy with the changes. I can only talk from an official few and welcome all of the nerfs/changes, they are amazing and will better the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZScruffy Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Tek Armor is pretty much pointless to use now... The cost to repair is astronomical, and with durability massively nerfed on top of that, the usefulness of Tek is gone. People will now stop using Tek and find ANY alternative they possibly can. Players on my unofficial server have already entered trade and discussion on fazing out Tek armor completely. Congratulations Wildcard, you just killed Tek armor. Hard capping durability I understand. ok. Adding in a scaling cost to repair based on crafting cost, I understand, ok. But making the cost SO very very expensive has killed Tek armor. That needs to be reduced significantly, instead of cost +20%, make it 50% of craft cost at the most, preferably less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is completely false. 1500 durability will get ripped up fairly quickly. at least once a day will require repairs. We've been using above 1500 durability so I'm speaking from actual experience here. And if you're stupid enough to wear it in lava areas (EG Genesis magmasaur pits), even 3000 durability will be shredded in a few mins. As for crashing.. due to recent updates, crashing happens VERY often, especially on Genesis map which is extremely bad for fps and crashing.

Fukushu Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 @NZScruffydo you run around on foot when you play? I'm 99% of the time on a dino when I leave my base. I could understand this if those old ''super prim'' servers were still up where you weren't able to ride dinos. IMO 1500 is more than enough for any normal ARK player unless you go around punching dinos to death or facetanking them like in World of Warcraft... Cheaters and dupers abused this way too much, some tribes had multiple vaults full of crazy high dura Tek armors which this restricts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nworlds Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 How long armor lasts very much depends on the server settings and how much damage dinos do. If settings are relatively high, armor goes in a jiffy. That's why those nerfs shouldnt be hardcoded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHalloween Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 they crippled dupers as long as it takes to run OSDs, which is maybe a day or so XD, foolish thinking at best...just wipe everything if your gonna wipe anything they didnt even cap meks, which is what they should of done breeding mutation exploits should be capped as well unbalanced is the theme and has been for years they might as well just sell tames in the hln-a shop and make it pay 2 win because everyone just buys tames in groups anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crashing in the middle of 10 dinos is what we call traveling to a new biome... Oh, you teleported with a 255 Rex to keep you safe when you crash? It fell through the world and mesh death while you were crashing mid port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaters and dupers abused this way too much, some tribes had multiple vaults full of crazy high dura Tek armors which this restricts. So because you like spending 99% of your time grinding on a dino, you automatically think that's what everyone does? I honestly don't give a toss about Official servers. they are way past broken. I don't play duper/mesher Ark. I play ark the way it was meant to be played. Unofficial server with a lot less grind and a lot more fun. So no, I don't spend 99% of my time on a dino harvesting stone. And no, I don't facetank things or anything else just stupid. I activly go after every aspect of the game, missions, artifacts, bosses, storyline, and explore every part of the map, ride just about every dino I can find. My armor gets shredded because I'm DOING things, and not spending 99% of my time harvesting stone like you do. Try doing a bog beatdown in Genesis and get back to me on he state of your armor. And there are many situations when even on a dino, your armor will get shredded. But you'd have to do more than smack rocks to collect stone to find that out.

Kaprosuchus Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I think if they wanted to do this on their official servers that's fine, it would not be the first or last limitation they apply to their servers, like the item quality clamping, or capping tamed dinos at 450. for some reason they decided unofficials needed this too and couldn't police their own environments.
