StudioWildcard Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 LiveOps Update Corrupted Dino Kiting on Extinction PvE We have clocked a high incidence of enforcement tickets related to players breaking the CoC by kiting corrupted dinos into other player’s bases on our Extinction servers. This is highly disruptive to player’s experience. We’ve implemented some targeted changes in the past to address the issue whilst retaining the overall game design for the Extinction gameplay loop but this compromise between technical fixes and design has allowed some ill-intentioned players to get more imaginative. We’ve come up with a technical solution to address this once and for all: we have disabled corrupted dino damage against all structures on PvE specifically. We’re confident this will come as a relief to affected players (and our enforcement team hehe). Small Tribes Teaming Rules The spirit of Small Tribes has always been to give players the opportunity to experience a tight group dynamic that is void of the scale and diplomacy of Official. We recognize it’s time to implement change in order to preserve the original concept--one we were hyped about along with our community! We’ve long been aware of ongoing issues with teaming along with gaps in our Small Tribes rules that have allowed some players to take advantage. To combat this, we’ve reviewed and begun updating and expanding those rules with a goal to improve the experience and, hopefully, crack down on teaming. The unique environment of Small Tribes has proved taxing on our Enforcement Team so, along with adding a new stricter ruleset, we’ll be looking at ways to make the investigative process more efficient. This will include more comprehensive guidelines on the types of evidence players should include in their tickets in order to expedite investigations. All of these changes may require further iteration after they go live. We consider a few potential risks worth it in order to provide a better experience for our players in the long term. We welcome player feedback as we refine the rules and we’ll approach this as a work-in-progress that may require some tweaks as we gauge community sentiment.

However I feel it more likely they chose Olympus/Hope/Fonjor, as more “the island” esk maps. Cuz that’s what the free DLCs are.

ShadowRazvan Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Can anyone please recommend a good tutorial for making a map? (or a discord server, anything that can help) The ones I found on youtube are extremely hard to follow and I have some custom dinos + great ideas that I would love to implement.
