Add ORP Servers

[Rashawn]

When I first got into ark some years back I hopped on an official orp pvp server and played for years without knowing there were other types. Don't judge me lol.... but I'm curious will orp pvp servers be available at launch? I genuinely don't know if that was like a late addition server or something.

[OldManSkeeter]

They say they weren’t popular enough. Yeah okay. Currently there are 2036 servers on the official network. About 60-70% of all servers only has 10 players currently online or less. There are hundreds of servers with 0-3 players currently online.  Also at the time of this post, the top 3 servers on the entire official network only has 67/70, 61/70, and 51/70. The lack of orp clusters clearly has nothing to do with popularity.

Ase had orp, hardcore, primitive, no taming, no tek. Not sure if there were others. But Asa has been out for almost a year. There’s plenty of people asking. What is the problem? They should have never wiped the ase official network if they weren’t going to replace it in its entirety.

 I am begging you to please bring us some official ORP clusters.  I see that you are sunsetting a ton of PVP servers and people really like ORP. We are all adults with full time jobs and can’t take the time to build up just to have it wiped when we are off line.

I can't look it up anymore but the official name was something along the lines orp cross ark 6. Wording may be wrong but definitely was orp and it was also cross server? Like I said I stayed on that server since extinction came out since that's when I originally got the game. I promise I'm not crazy lol it was official orp.

@dollie @complexminded Bring our PvP ORP servers back to the official network and redo/re-add these tweeks that never worked when you applied them.  v245.0 * Offline Raid Protection mode now disables PIN Locking, and Structures in Caves no longer get ORP

Perfect like this yes ! Very good idea to make build in cave with no ORP 👌

[OrpPVPenjoyer]

Yes, please give us Official orp PVP , i have many friends waiting on those servers !

Also if possible, make artifact caves unbuildable or way to retrieve them by drops or something !

Official Offline raid protection clusters on ASE really, really increased my love for the game! Our tribe could focus more on progressing. Not having to sweat on getting wiped at work.
Ark became a healthier, more enjoyable experience. Any information RE: implementation of ORP?

[xKanis]

Can we all get together and up-vote this discussion?

I think it's important that people who have responsibility outside of the Ark are able to get the full experience

Cheers

[philippeplantre1]

we should make post on twitter and tag them so everyone can see and there is more chance that we get better answer there

[OrpPVPenjoyer]

Still no news on ORP servers, do not buy the game if you want to play the game, official servers are unplayable if no orp. 24/7 raiding is just too imbalanced.

[xKanis]

Can we please share this thread on some Ark groups : Twitter/Facebook/Discord ect

I think that ORP is a fundamentally important for people who have responsibility outside of the Ark.

 

If we can get recognition from the Devs... we up

[OrpPVPenjoyer]

We would like some ORP PVP Official servers, just like in ASE, its for us smaller tribes who doesnt have 24/7 and do not enjoy mega tribes.

They already have. No plans for them at the moment. 

Ok so what is the utility of this "suggestions" forum ?

What the utility of this if the most popular topic in this section, by far, was ignore ? Can you explain me ?

And its not difficult to put ORP server, they already exist in ASE, they just have to add a cluster of this.

 

We want it NOW, we want play it with the actual meta (no cryo, only island) and not in 2 years when all map are here, and cryo back.

 

Thanks

Perfectly put, I actualy feel like WC has long lost it's customer focus and actually despise the playerbase, ya know the paying customer?

Sounds like an entitled view? Well yes I feel entitled to have a server choice I was enjoying in a game I paid for, which I have now re-paid for and not getting the service I paid for.

[Tylanater]

ORP should have been implemented better onto every server. Stop catering the game towards no lifes that can not have an offline timer of more than 3 hours.

[philippeplantre1]

WILDCARD pls add ORP!!!

[ShadowPriestok]

Dear developers!
Once again I would like to ask you to open an official cluster of Offline Raid Protection servers.

The thing is that I, as well as many other players, have been playing ARK: Survival Evolved for years on the official PVP-ORP cluster.
At some point, the developers closed all the official servers with the words that all the same official servers will soon appear in the remaster of the game - ARK: Survival Ascended. It is for this reason that I and many other fans of this mode bought ARK: ASA, hoping that they will be able to return to their favorite servers and enjoy our favorite game again. But what was my surprise that this mode is simply absent in ASA.
From the first day the game appeared in my library, I tried to get in touch with the developers to get the word out. I created discussions in Steam, wrote repeatedly in the official ARK Discord and even participated in discussions here on this forum. But never got any clear answer.
I realize that the game is still in development and the developers have a lot of things to do to improve ARK ASA. I'm not asking or in any way demanding to open an official ORP cluster immediately, I just want to know some information about future plans, since again, I and many other players can't find a place in the remaster. Their home and comfort was taken away from ARK: Survival Evolved, but they didn't get it back in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Well i'm done, uninstalled the game, won't be back until I hear there are orp servers, if that's never then that's also cool. Seeya around all that posted here

[FalconHoof87]

I'm actually so sad now that I can't even refund it. *Spent most of the time in-game trying to connect to the server.* 
It was one of the games I bought without any hesitation, believing that the developers would really make it bigger and better. In the end, I got a very problematic and empty version of an old game. What was the need for all those unoptimised UE5 graphical adjustments, which players simply disable by INI files or console commands, gaining a huge advantage over the others in PVP? How did the new game inherit almost all the problems of the original ARK and multiply them??? Absolutely terrible work with the community, when the developers don't answer elementary questions for months... The unwillingness to add ORP servers, which the community has been asking for a long time, surprises me too. I wish the developers the strength and patience to fix at least some of the significant problems with this game. Maybe someday they'll make this game shine brightly. But for now, this game is just a waste of SSD memory.  Uninstalling.

[FalconHoof87]

There is a LOT of people holding back to play the game for ORP official either that has bought the game or will buy the game when confirmation of ORP is released
Bring it back!

[Gigglebush]

When are orp servers coming online?? Alot of us work full time and would still like to pvp on Official servers, I'm sure there's plenty of people who would appreciate them being back
