Was speed reading the forum, and did a double take ... I first read this as " went on a quick crystal meth run" ..... did a double take, as I was pretty sure my fellow ARK enthusiasts aren't tweaking on meth when playing this time sink game! LOL

Started off tonight by scaling back the amount of thatch canopy my build have. Looks much better now. Added some details to the supports of the cannopy and added decorative railings. Finnaly moved the pteras to live in the tower which frees up room in the stables a bit. Then hoped on to the raft to go out and do a quick silica pearl run to make electronics. By run I mean doggy paddle in the northern shores as I haven't unlocked scuba yet. Was a case of move raft, spot pearls go for a swim to grab them get back to raft, then move the raft to the next silica pearl and go for a swim again while dodging any sharks. It was painful but worth it. Afterwards went on a quick crystal/metal run with the argy and anky halfway across the map. Got back and started crafting the electronics, cables, lights and the generator. Installed the electrics and finally I have electricity and lights in the main base. I can actually see in my base during the night of Ragnarok ! Started to install the electrics in the bird house which I had been dreading as I am running it all off one generator and getting the cable all the way up to the towers could have been a nightmare. Threaded the cables up the central collum without a hitch and with a little bit of tinkering got the wiring through the platforms without to much hassle either. Just need to get more silica pearls as I dont have enough electronics for the junction boxes so couldnt install the lights. Going to have the tower act like a bit of a lighthouse aswell, considering how close to the shore it is. But thats for another night.

Found a level 145 Therizino and tamed her up with Megalosaurus kibble. B helped me finish our Giga trap. Awesome looking gold 145 Giga in the highlands we plan on taming soon. Made some more Rex kibble and plan to go hunting for a high level Plesiosaur as soon as T or B can log on and assist. Work's still too busy for me to play often, fed everyone and logged for the night.

Thank you. We actually spawned an s+ tek transmitter and engram on aberration for ease of server hops due to the obelisk being on the surface, but we are going to build it on the island. I do plan on fighting the dragon eventually but for the next few weeks we are going to "relax" and do some base upgrades. Almost burt myself out grinding for monkey and brood, lol.

So just logged on shortly to check that thylo and just as suspected it starved Bred them again and got a better one, with two mutations! Dont know what yet.. but thats neat. Just did a quick meat run and ill just be popping in for imprints periodically. @Jabnlab Congrats on Tek! Im jelly we dont get those s+ moveable transmitters haha I still have yet to beat dragon to actually unlock it (does s+ let you build it without?) Im excited to see the base with all the Tek set up, im still undecided how I want to lay it out. Have my replicator, genny and a trough premade before i left Ragnarok. Congrats again

Had a short play time today. My wife gathered metal and I hopped over to Aberation and grabbed as many black pearls as my drake could carry, about 300. It so scary gathering them, lol, sneaking around trying not to agro any of the dozens of drakes. After I grabbed the black pearls i bring them back to the island then help my wife farm metal. Before logging i noticed one of our snails had starved to death so i quickly made a batch of veggie cakes to feed the other 2. We should be able to build our tek generator tomorrow morning after we pick up the metal. Then i think we will working on some of the tek armor we unlocked last weekend. Our many plan now is to do a lot of farming for our next base expansion

Having past experience, there is about 80% chance something goes wrong and all those structures are destroyed. Thankfully, there are server rollbacks but still, that takes time and complicates things. My current base fence is built with three pillars (one on top of each other) and then two rows of walls...rince and repeat. Looks beautiful and pillars prevent other players from building too close to my walls (fence foundations do not do that). But even then, I have few pillars missing because snap points went nuts and those pillars (even being surrounded by walls) were considered as lone structures and were auto-demoed 12 h later. I don't know what better solution there could be, but I do know that preventing us from using only a pillar+ladder / pillar + ceiling will not be a solution. I like my base and I wanna keep it jerk-free, so if need be, i'll built 2x2 houses, or if need be i'll build 4x4 houses or if need be i'll build 10x10 houses to protect what I have. Those who have means to spam pillar an area...they have the means to build castles on every single pillar+ladder location. Maybe the best solution is to finally implement Structures+ mod and give us better building mats.

Pillars are used also to protect base turf. I've played this game since the beginning of legacy. I've seen people build RIGHT UP AGAINST somebody elses's base to keep them from expanding. Who's going to police that? On PVP, if that happens, you wipe their base (or you get wiped if somebody stronger decides they like your spot). On PVE? You're screwed and it becomes a he-said-she-said argument on griefing. Pillaring for base-space protecting and pillaring for resource protecting is the culture of PVE and has been literally since the game mode came out. If you were going to change it (and I know you've been back-and-forth on it for years), you should have changed it in legacy. Over pillaring should be treated on a case-by-case basis as it currently is, because all this is going to do is force me to behemoth gate off everything I care about. My base, my prime farming node (which harms the community forges and crafting area I put up), my meat farming area. My charge nodes, which should ALWAYS be open to the community, will have to be protected with spawn boxes to keep other tribes from literally paving over them. All it takes is one jerk to kill it for the whole server. Don't think it won't happen? It will, and already has. On the aberration server I left, one tribe had boxed half of them in, and GM Blitz gave us a token response and did nothing. People are going to put up 1x1 spawn boxes everywhere. Little structures (pillars & ladders) that are less harmful to server resources will become big structures (behemoth gates, box systems, etc). And griefing will be elevated to a whole new level, with the small GM crew you have unable to keep up. Yes, you have a Tragedy of the Commons problem, but you're actually going to make it worse. My base has 500 dinos in it. If somebody puts another base next within render distance with 500 dinos, it's going to slaughter the server. Now add a third person, and every area near obelisk will become either behemoth compounds of one tribe building MASSIVE base structures, (looking at you EU 42 Green Obelisk), or seas of tiny bases equally impassable. The honest truth is that your servers CANNOT support 70/70 players on PVE. Hell, the Aberration servers can barely support 20/70 without grinding to a halt. Drop the server count, put up more servers, solve the problem. Foster server-to-server communities so people don't feel the need to bloat some servers. Solve the zoo problems where people use servers to hold unloved dinos and only log on once a week to feed it. Pillars are the symptom of the core problem of the game, in which PVE was an afterthought to PVP. I would have GLADLY paid a subscription for better official servers. Gladly. EDIT: Pillaring also preserves walkways in Aberration. I have also witnessed, on SEPARATE servers, people blocking off access to paths--down to the drake pit, from green to blue, the main river way on aberration, and have watched the GM's do NOTHING. Pillars are the only thing that keeps my aberration server somewhat passable. If my pillars fall, aberration is screwed for walkways. Will I care? No. I have drakes and transmitters. But without a flier, and without pillars, this will kill Aberration.

Thanks for the feedback regarding our structure announcement folks, we appreciate it. Keep it coming.

Say goodbye to all metal, stone, wood, obsidian, ext. Spawns in ark, also this is going to make th e lag issues even worse, there is nothing that causes more of a DC zone tha n two massive basses right next to each Other, and now there will not be a way to keep morons from building two feet from your front door.

If the pillars go you may need to consider expanding the no build radius between tribes and make more no build zones to ensure there will still be dino spawns. This is main reason most players use the pillar method.

Didn't have much time today be we did gather the rest of the metal we needed to build our s+ tek replicator and then built the replicator. I forgot how large it was so we also threw together a temporary enclosure for it off our main building. We still need about 2500 ingots and about 70 black pearls to build the s+ tek generator, so tomorrow morning while my wife gathers metal Ill hop over to aberration and farm some black pearls. Now that we've unlocked tek, I'm currently trying to dream up a base upgrade that both functions and looks good. I want to combine our 3 buildings into one large one. My first thought is some kind of elevated glass pyramid, maybe 15x15 or so. But then I remembered the desert compound we had on ragnarok that kind of looked cool and was functional So I think I'm going to do something similar, only bigger, on stilts, and not made of adobe. Probably a combo of stone and s+ glass so we aren't farming metal to build it for ages. I'll save the pyramid idea for an outpost in the snow or on the ocean that Ill probably make using build mode.

I feel ya! I had to switch to a new map because i lost motivation, reading these posts sure bring it back though

Lmao I did the same thing. "Crystsl meth what?!" Meth runs for days ?

Logged on to "B was killed by a level 145 Gigantosaurus" message. Tried reaching him on the mic, but he was to busy to answer. Jumped on one of the Wyvern's and raced to the highlands, seeing the same death message twice more before I arrived. Arrived at the trap to see B running naked across the field with the Gold Giga right on his heels. One bite and he died again. He finally joined my party chat with a slew of expletives. I distracted the Giga while he reclaimed his stuff, and realized he left the tranqs and kibble at our main base by the blue ob. I raced back to grab them and B got kicked. Gathered up the narcs, tranqs, and kibble, and headed back to the highlands. Reach the Ashlands when B calls me, letting me know his internet was out. Crap. Called T, to see if he could assist and he couldn't. Crap. Retrieved B's gear, went back to our main base, and put all of B's gear back in his locker, put up all the supplies and logged.

Haha I can see how that happened now. I can asure you I dont take drugs. Dont even drink. Just lots of chocolate, coffee and of course Ark.

Conan exiles style foundations would make this game so much better on building.

This pillar change is most likely one of the worst things that could possibly happen. There has already been a change long ago that literally did nothing to prevent players from pillaring except making them build pillars with ceilings (that prevented spawns) until we found out that pillars+ladders also works. The only thing that will change this time is that there will be either small houses that block everything or 5 high pillars with multiple ladders attached. Hello lag. It WILL NOT keep people from pillaring/claiming land, especially not established tribes that have the resources to do whatever is necessary. - pillars are used to protect resource spawns. Which, sadly, is necessary because you CAN build on these spawns and people do it - on purpose (we've had multiple issues with tetris tribes building on metal spawns just to block them), or just because they're noobs that don't know better. When I started playing, I knew nothing about foundations blocking spawns. There was one tribe that had pillared off all resource spawns to keep people like me from blocking them and preserving them for everyone, which is a good thing. - pillars are used to protect base areas and the area around them. I've had one guy build a 1x2 thatch hut INSIDE my fenced in base area before because I hadn't pillared there. On SE, we didn't pillar around the base and one guy built his ugly ass gates-only dino prison cube RIGHT outside our gates when there was PLENTY of building space left all over the map, just to name a few examples. It really means more lag, being unable to expand, having to travel far for resources (like stone, wood, meat) that would normally spawn just next to you and in some cases that you have to swim or make a long way around neighboring bases. - pillars are used to claim land for future building projects. Often there is no way you can stomp out a whole base within a day or two, so you have to pillar. People build just anywhere, and if the place they like is JUST outside the "enemy range" of your foundations where you were going to build your fence, they WILL build there. - noobs tend to whine that there is NOWHERE to build on a server when really they'd just have to step off the beach to find there's plenty of space left. I see that every day on the island server. Just because the nicest places are taken (after half a year, I mean what do you expect?) and beaches are pillared to preserve paths and spawn points/areas so noone gets stuck in foundations, does not mean there is nowhere to build. Servers where there is "nowhere to build" are capped too anyway so why even bother building a base. Pillars are not an issue. The issue are people who block resources that are not pillared and people who have no brains to not build RIGHT NEXT to someone elses' base or block paths (we wouldn't even need pillars if these didn't exist). But just because there's some greedy people out there who abuse them to pillar off whole maps (like on our Aberration server where 3 tribes have pillared 90% of the map), it's being made harder for all of us. It's always the same. Some whine, some misbehave, EVERYONE gets punished. This is not how you make your community happy ?

I see, well there's still the point, that type of issue is only a concern for your dodos and survivors, there's no need to place all your dinos inside your base resulting in it looking horrible and laggy.

Well it seems that I came here to say what everyone else came here to say... but I'm going to say it anyway, 'cause more voices etc etc... Yes, pillars can be used to spam. But far more often, they are used to protect valuable routes and spawns, to provide a bit of a buffer around a tribe's base to prevent someone building literally on your doorstep (and often blocking a valuable route in the process), and to prevent spawns (dinos, trees, rocks etc) within a tribe's base. The first of these is, imo, the most important - it will now be, it seems, impossible to protect important metal/crystal/obsidian spawns, and major routes, and those will quickly become blocked off by trolls. You might say that we can submit tickets in those instances but 1) that can take weeks, 2) what we consider an important route (eg the only land route from our base) might not be what you consider an important route, 3) spawns etc are clearly not protected or they would be made no build zones, as a very few of them have been (eg metal spawn in Jungle Mid on Center, ruins on Barnji Plateau on Ragnarok etc) and 4) it was kind of nice that servers could work together to protect their important resources from trolls, by maintaining neat little pillars for protection (I'm sure this wasn't the case on every single server but just look at these comments - clearly most servers were using them in this way). Please, please, rethink this. We had an issue in Legacy where we hadn't pillared around our base, trying to be nice, friendly and trusting, and a troll tribe built right next to us, blocking our only route out and completely prevented us taking land dinos any further than about 100yds from our base. It wasn't reportable because we weren't 'blocked into our base', nor was it a major route in terms of the whole server, but we were completely barred from using any large land dinos that couldn't be flown out with our quetzes. It was pretty crappy and will be a common occurrence if people can't protect their bases. Or, people will be forced to building huge ugly structures all over the map, blocking even more spawns. Neither of these is an ideal scenario.

Can we please have a colored Dino server? Similar to the easter event.

That first picture, is perfectly fine, and should stay like that. Whoever put those pillars there is protecting the beaver spawns. Those are good pillars. Whoever put those there in Hidden Lake, thank you. Beaver dams are rare on Island, not enough to go around to all the tribes. This. This is a good use of pillars. The problem with pillars is not the pillars, it is the player who uses it, which can be used for good... or bad. That first picture, is a good use of pillars imo. A little messy looking, but good. Still good. If Wildcard doesn't like the look... As far as pillars that protect player bases, please give Fence Foundations protection range. I had to pillar around my base because if I didn't, players could build next to, or inside my base. My Suggestion: How about give us players a new structure item! An item that will look nice too! Maybe make expensive to make*, or maybe locked behind a high level. The item would prevent others from building, but not block spawns. Limited amount, like how you limit turrets or signs. And increase that limit depending on how many players/dinos are in a tribe. Please dont make it require Tek. As far as the timer on it, make it practical for the good builders. 4 day timer is practical for me. 12 hours is not. Perhaps make it so it will not auto-demo, just in case I miss refreshing it for whatever reason, which is rare for me with a 4 day timer, but there have been times, lost greenhouse walls. *not Tek. I dont have any Tek on my main server. I am waiting for stable boss fights before I take in my rexes. My Experiences: I am a solo player, on Official Legacy PvE. I have been on 323 since 2015. I have at least two large areas to house my 530** dinos (about 200 or less dinos each area, due to the lag if I have more than that in one place). I need enough pillars to protect my walls that sit on Stone Fence Foundations (because people I play with, they hate dino gates for walls), plus some more pillars protecting the rare resources I protect (a metal mountain, east of the volcano). And please make the CD at least 3 days, preferably four. As a solo official player with two different tribes and three+ bases, I cannot upkeep a 12 hour despawn, or even a 24 hour timer. But I can upkeep a 4 day timer (thank you for the greenhouse update! I can finally use these pieces to make pretty builds). I have a checklist to make sure I am around to refresh the pillars protecting a rare resource (metal). Protected for the sake of the whole server, so someone doesn't build there and block off this rare and necessary resource. There have been countless times over these last three years, either with my friends, or myself, where someone was able to build in such a way, that it hurt/destroyed my plans for building, or cut off rare resources. I use pillars to protect my base, and rare resources. When the 12 hour timer was added to pillars, you killed several of my friend's interest in this game. They were good people. They no longer play (or play unofficial only). That day, they quit. The last straw with them, had enough with how the game was being handled. The area they were protecting, was now taken over by someone else. It was too much, and they moved on to other things. I miss playing with them. ** working on culling it to under 500, and one tribe, instead of two. This is a heartbreaking process for me, but I am working on it. I understand Wildcard needs a way to help servers police themselves without GM intervention. There is a fine balance of what can be used for good, but can also be used for bad. Please think carefully about what you add/change/remove. Think about the good that good players can do, but aware of the bad that the bad players can do. It's not about a pillar being bad or good, it is the hand that places them that makes all the difference. I am a good respectful pve player. I need tools to help me protect the rare spawns for the needs of the whole server. Take away my protection, you may just as well take away the metal from everyone on the server. Please give me tools to protect these rare and limited resources from the bad guys. Thank you for listening to the community.

I just wish we could get the chance to try playing without people feeling like they need to protect us or protect the map. Maybe Wildcard would just have some areas that they put building restrictions on to protect just enough of resource areas so this is not a problem. We play this game to survive. Surely we could survive a little bit of annoyance sometimes. I remember way back in the beginning of the game before people knew about "protecting" everything. Someone might put something where you didn't like it but after a while, it despawned. We might have a bit of annoyance for awhile but at least we didn't see pillars all over the map and just have to live like that forever. The problem with allowing people to "protect" everyone and everything is that people tend to over do it. We should have the game developers decide where we can build, not the people who land on a map. It just does not work. If there is a path that needs protected then the map needs to protect the path, not people who want to have us play the way they think we should. On The Island, there is metal all over the map but people just go up to where the most metal spawns because it is easier to do that. There is metal that spawns everywhere but no one bothers to harvest it because they don't need to. We just load up our dinos and go where it is easy and we are done. I would like to actually see how it would be to have a map that does not have pillars all over it. I would like to play on a map that does not have a few people tell us where we can build and where we can harvest. I would guess that this is the reason most people don't play on official and I sure do understand why they would not want to. Why is it that we can play on an unofficial server where we have rules about pillaring but not on official. If it can work on unofficial, it should work on official, too.

A few workarounds to combat the players with the argument of resource protection (pillars) could be one of the following: 1. Lower the Suppress Replenish Radius structures value down by 80% - Thus allowing people to build next to unprotected nodes. - or 2. This can be further changed by making metal/crystal/obsidian not effected at all by structures... - 3. Beaver dams, that picture you have above is a beaver protection setup, Add more beaver spawns to the rivers and swamps around the map, randomize them, disperse them, and while your at it, changing the way the dams work too as it would be great since people never clean their messes of paste free dams... Changing the way beavers spawn can help too, make it so if theirs enough water for a beaver to fit that it can spawn instead of being affected by structures. - 4. Pillars are also used for player pathing (players pillar beaches so others dont block travel access), This could be offset by Adding more trails into the beach cliffs or making a 5 wide no build zone right next to the water shores on pve (so players can travel with tames that are giga/bronto size) - 5 . After a structure gets so large, say anything past 16x16x16, quadruple its build protection radius (if nothings in range), once a tribe has something this big they don't want neighbors as they cant expand. - PS: I hate pillars that are "not" used for what I've mentioned above, Ive seen people sell/buy land in the past on official servers for real life money back in my legacy days, not so much anymore but you still hear about it sometimes. (Its the worst when new maps are released). I've seen pillars used to make people leave areas or servers (it happened to me twice, though I was a bit more stubborn and held out for a month on my home server, couldn't combat it when the center was new though, never was able to play there) I seriously just spent the past hour typing this?... right... time to go... Edit: Color code our structures or something that your going to make decay, lots of people are going to be clueless without a visual indicator, will also allow us to find possible flaws in the code that's used to do this. (major example: structures that shouldn't demolish)

You realize that people are tame capping the server on purpose right? For the same reason you cancer spam pillars. To prevent new players from joining the server. With out a steady stream of new players the game will die out. Ark has constant bad reviews and refund requests because new players cant even play the game. They log in try to find somewhere to build for an hour and turn off the game and return it. All because people want to be entitled little children, "This is my server, I dont want noobs on it. Im protecting it" What a load of bull, youre killing the game. Even the fresh servers are getting people grinding out pillars so they can take over as much of the map as possible when transfers get turned on in 60 days. So what is just adding new servers going to do other than add more servers with tons of open slots but no where to build? Why do you think theres 1800 unofficial PVE servers compared to the 300 official? Because official are a waste of time with the pillar spam.

So for the specialized servers that open tomorrow, I read that they will be fresh, which is understandable. However, I was wondering what time and in which time zone they open tomorrow as well as which maps they will be available on.

I also have to agree that this will only worsen the problem. I have Swamp pillared off on my server simply because all the other nearby meat spawn areas are ruined due to bases. I have at least 4 tribes and myself come and leave gigas in swamp just so that we can get meat. If you increase the structure requirements, we wind up having to build more to save what we own, therefor ruining the spawns and creating more lag. If we don't build more, they decay and make it available for someone new or a troll to build on precious resource spawns. For certain maps such as Ragnarok, we have to do this because we hit server cap constantly and we simply cannot afford to have more people on it. There are also portions of the map that need that land claimed just so that tribes won't get blocked in or have a neighbor only feet from their door. I have a huge base, I try to isolate it so that one, people with their own bases don't add on to my own lag, two, so that if needed I can expand a little, and three, so that people don't fly overhead and get hammered with so much stuff loading in from multiple bases that they crash. Also what does this mean for those with a yard that needs to be spawn blocked so we don't have stuff spawning and eating our dinos? It's a struggle, I know. But right where it is, is a delicate balance of being able to claim land while not ruining the spawns and also being able to block the spawns for inside bases. A balance that shouldn't be disturbed.

In the worst case, it also means that those pillars which protect areas which should be (arguably) unbuildable in the first place are now unmaintainable. Case and point, I've had to pillar off a great deal of charge nodes on our aberration server to prevent unresponsive tribes from completely enclosing all the easily available charge nodes. It would be nice if you could at least fix problematic situations like that prior to wiping out those protective structures! (PS @lilpanda on an unrelated note, ping's been great on PVE NA Ab 380 since you took a look at it. Thanks for all the help!)

What time do the small tribe servers start?

im agree with this... some people dont know(cant use english/never chat) and will build close to Valuable thing... we protect resource

I swear you devs are the biggest morons ever. You are just going to make things much worse because everyone will find out what the minimum is and just spam that instead. Also tribes wouldnt find a need to spam so much if you guys actually gave defenders more tools to use. Spamming is one of the few things that can slow down a raid or give some warning at the very least.

For the Small Tribe Servers for the Ps4 or all platforms do you have to start from scratch or can you transfer your character and equipment over. ?

Devs, you seem to be ignoring one very valuable use of pillering: to protect valuable spawn areas that everyone uses. When a player builds on a high resource area then everyone loses out. We are not claiming land, we are trying to protect it.

Last night got on for a bit, took my thylo out for a small run. Found a 133 male (mines f) with easter colours and tamed it. Took it back to my base and finished up my breeding room, added a seperate gen so i dont need to hear my AC all the time and bred up my two thylo. I dont plan to get to crazy with them, just really wanted an imprinted one for the speed boost really. They arent even close to max level (i believe its 209 here..) id like to atleast get two 175+ before starting a breeding line. Speaking of which, forgot to log in this morning and throw more food in the troughs.. baby thylo might be dead lol I found some scorched inspiration today. Ive never even been in the caves here and from.screenshots they look amazing. So ill get up to some cave diving soon. While im there ill grab some artifact sets to start getting into Manticore. The level distribution here is nuts.. ive only seen one max level tame yet.. a wolf at the start of my play (209) and 4 203's total so far. Ive tamed one wolf at 203 and one Morellatops. I believe 203 here is the equivillant to a 145 on official. Itll be a huge chore to get some max level tames for bosses and ive yet to see a rex thats over 110. Gonna work towards getting some higher level wolves and get some pups going. Also need to tame some vultures for caves. Lots to work towards but scorched is losing its charm fast I think to mix it up ill hop on SP next weekend and attempt dragon for my story. I dont think im anywhere near ascension ready yet but hey.. i did plan this to be a long term story. Until next time fellow Arkers

Are you sure it was players spreading swamp fever? There was a bug a while ago, not sure when it was resolved on console that Pachyrhinos were giving swamp fever through their mist that they spray, and this was specific only to PvE servers. Are you also aware that only Humans and Dodos can catch and spread swamp fever? Therefore, even if someone on PvE drops a diseased Dodo in your base the only things that will contract the swamp fever are the players and other Dodos in the base, no other dino will catch it. Therefore not much of a need to keep all dinos inside, just keep Dodos inside?

I'm a solo player and went to 198 island with just a club to PvP and troll. Met a friend after knocking him out and we teamed up. We ended up getting the alphas attention and challenged them at red ob. They pulled up on 3 wyvs and we ended up flame arrowing the ice wyv to death. My first wyv kill [emoji3]

Such as overriding "SupplyCrate" will override ALL supply crates. Furthermore, you can now set bAppendItemSets=true to ADD item sets to supply crates, rather than totally overriding all their items. And you can set bAppendPreventIncreasingMinMaxItemSets=true to dynamically increase the amount of items dropped by however many additional itemsets you add ( only applies when bAppendItemSets=true ). - Fixed an issue where pain volumes could cause infinite forces on ragdolls and lead to serious PhysX issues (overly expensive collision, lack of collision, etc).

Arks dead and over now. This will kill the game. You devs know nothing. Were just gonna gate off everything now. Your Noobs will never get on And your money grab will not happen. We will continue to kite them. You will not catch us were to good.

My two cents as PVE player: I agree that pictures like the one in this crunch are an bad example of pillar abuse. Land grabbing with long term plans(months of no activity) or to claim large sections of the map aren't ok. But some pillaring is appropriate: - Resource protection (stone/metal/obsidian/creature spawns) is a common reason that pillaring is used and new players build without knowing what they are blocking. - Laying out your claim to land when starting out if you don't want someone building right next to you preventing you from finishing planned layout. A structure you can build in your first few weeks will differ greatly in size from a long term setup. - Foundations/Pillar and ceiling to prevent wild spawns in the confines of base walls. Large tribes that tend to pillar huge sections of the map are likely to just build bigger spawn blocking structures causing more frustration for servers that for the most part have bigger issues with server tame caps.

Pillars are used to protect resource spawns. As many have mentioned. Some of those spawn points include: beaver dams spawn points. Spinosaur spawn points. Metal/obsidian spawns. Giga spawns. Oil nodes. Penguin spawns. (339 has a whole penguin island completely destroyed by a player building). Hidden lake. Smugglers pass. As suggested earlier in a post by another player. I will agree. Expand the no build zones around other players. Create no build zone for these resource spawns. Expand the no build zone around the obliesks. 339 has an issue with a massive build that has green obliesk nearly impassable on foot. And red obliesk and surrounding land is completely pillared and preventing new players from building anywhere near it. Plan to change build zones. Give us that 2 week warning like when you added the new snow zone to island. On a side note. Rag maps stay capped with dinos. Its such a large map. Maybe consider something to fix it. Regards Aphy

I can only see this being a bad thing, people need to be able to protect their land and important resources, if you take this away from us you are just asking for every server to get ruined by trolls and people who do not care that they are stopping everyone else from playing, ie: killing resource spawns, dino spawns, and building so close to each other that the lag constantly crashes your game

Great so instead of making pillars with ladders that do not affect (and often protect) resource spawns, people will now (have to) build small houses that will block them...
