oktravis Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I am playing the island on a PVE server on ps4. Level 87 When i was done playing for the day I went to the options menu and Hit save and exit. Then went to exit to the mail menu and went to sleep When i left i was in my base everything was ok. Now the next day when I loaded in to the game I found that i had died sometime when I was off line. The game started up on the screen where it askes what bed i want to spawn at and said i was killed by a piranha. my death was well past the 35 min. you get to recover all your stuff you were carrying. I lost everything i was carrying. My cryo pods with dinos in them, my tool and weapons. This is the 2nd time this has happened. the first was early on in the game so i didn't lose very much and didn't think much of it but this time i lost a lot. Does anybody have any idea how or why this has happened and how I can stop it from happening again. How could this happen on a PVE server when I'm off line? I don't understand. I would appreciate any incite I can get because it is very frustrating Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invision Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 someone found your body and drowned you. You can keep this from happening by laying down in a bed and logging out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would appreciate any incite I can get because it is very frustrating I can think of three possibilities: 1) invision is right - when you logged off your body was in a location where someone could drag you into the water. 2) Server lag & non-synchronization. I'm sure you've experienced rubber-banding and server lag many times, it could be that when you logged off the server thought you were in a slightly different location than you saw on your screen. It wouldn't need to be much, if you log off inside of your building but the server thinks you're standing outside then as far as the game is concerned you're out in the open, which resulted in someone dragging you into the water. 3) If your base is build too close to a stream/pond/lake the server might have screwed up and calculated that either you were in the water when you logged off or were close enough for a piranha to kill you. As you can see, this is just a slightly different version of #2. As for how you prevent it from happening in the future - do what people have been doing since the very beginning of ARK, always store things in a box and log off naked. That way you won't care if you die because you won't lose anything. There are also people who swear that logging off in a bed will prevent problems but I've personally experiences problems even when logging off on a bed - things like being stuck in the bed/ceiling/foundation when I log back in and having to demolish them in order to move. Honestly, for maximum safety it's always better to store your stuff before logging off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard03 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 someone has figured out where you live, figured out that you keep valuable stuff on your character, grabs your body {either through a crack in you walls, window opening, or by glitching} and purposely kills you to get everything you keep on your person. You need to deposit all your stuff off your body into a safe and secure storage unit, and lay down on a bed when you log off. If you magically keep dyeing, then there might be a bit of a bug with the game. If you suddenly don't die anymore, then it was someone taking advantage of you.

oktravis Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Thanks for the replies. Sounds like the most likely scenario is someone is Fing with me. It is possible that I left the door to my base open. I didn't realize someone could drag me to my death. I will not make that mistake anymore.

Luizza Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Always log off naked and laying down on a bed. Also if uv got those types on ur server, never PIN lock anything, just lock it, PIN can be cracked, and they will try - if it's just locked there's no way in.

Thekuervito Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 2nd time and log off with dinos in pods in your inventory? Wait after save world,to prevent rollbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greystoke Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Yup, could have been a roll back, though the chances of being in the water at the time it was rolled back to seems suspect. Probably player shenanigans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
