Hi all, Ark has a special place in my heart as I'm sure it does for all of you. The topic has been on my mind for a while and I wanted to share my thoughts here and hopefully get support to get this added into ARK II. I enjoy PVP the most, but there's one big problem... It's unbalanced. I think most players will agree with this. What I would wish for is to either completely overhaul the PVP standards in ARK II, or add this as a third mode, perhaps called: PVP Deadzone e.g. Essentially, everything is the same as regular PVP, however similar to GTA V or Escape From Tarkov, you have your own mini Ark that only you can access, in where you can safely store all your resources and creatures. The only way you can die or lose gear is what you bring out to the main map and if you get killed. I think this will encourage a much more balanced and combat focused experience, rather than the current PVP meta of soak turrets with turtle, C4 base, steal all their stuff. Plus it's really brutal and discouraging to be a casual player who loses hours/days/weeks worth of work all in one moment at the hands of a no life Ark PVP sweat. Imagine any other game like COD, GTA, where you can work for months to unlock camos e.g. and someone just took them all. It's too brutal and discourages allot of players from actually enjoying PVP. The mini, personal base Arks could work as follows... A 4x6 Ark at LVL 55 A 6x8 Ark at LVL 65 A 8x10 Ark at LVL 75 A 12x16 Ark at LVL 85 A 18x20 Ark at LVL 95 ...and so on. You can admit other players and tribe members into your personal Ark base, but they can't take or damage anything/one, they can only pickup what you drop if you choose to share with them. Obviously this would be tweaked to suit ARK, but it's just an idea I had that I really hope gets implemented. ARK is amazing game that has so much potential to be even more in ARK II, and I sincerely hope they implement something similar to this so people can have a PVP experience without the brutal risk of losing every single thing they worked for. Stay safe exploring the Ark, -TheRexAdvocate

Well I think I am definitely afraid of the dark again…..I haven’t been afraid of the dark in more than 25 years. As far as Ark 2, I’m glad we haven’t heard anything. The longer it takes to get any news the higher the chances of it getting pushed back (which it should be)! I do think that it’s probably time for WC to crap or get off the pot about Ark 2 though. They have never truly been very good at communicating with the players that made them money, but even though I can much care less about Ark 2 (mainly because I’m not going to rush out and get the next gen console just to play the same broken game), I am more concerned about what the plan for Ark 1 official servers is. There is a lot that WC can give us in the way of information without revealing a single thing in regards to Ark 2. Many of us have spent years and literally thousands of hours on this game, and we don’t deserve to be treated like a mushroom and kept in the dark and filled with bs. We have accrued tames, blueprints, resources, bases, ascended and the list goes on. The very least WC could do is just come out an$ say yay or nay on this whole Ark 2 business. My personal opinion, JUST DELAY ARK 2 UNTIL 2024, AND MAKE SURE IT’S RIGHT!!!!!! I should start a hashtag, hmmmm #ark2in2024

"They’ve also got a handle on issues like cheaters and server problems." that's the funniest line of the whole article

I can see potential for it to be good and bad. Ark has many systems already set up. Amber for mobile and Hexagon on console can easily be converted into a crypto currency. And the transfer system can be diverted to become the different worlds. A big flaw in games that do it is they become pay to win. Including a simple faucet and a few free starter items can help. A major risk is spamming example (do not press) In summary Try to: preventing duping using crypto hash remain a game first and foremost provide free gameplay options Avoid: pay to win spamming pay to start focusing to heavily on the money and not on the core gameplay loop

Typical corporate doublespeak throughout the interview, this is really just a big smokescreen for microtransactions by another name.

nft 😓 no thanks

Shame on you, didn't your parents taught you any manners? (Show Some Respect)

Hi there mods, can we get an update on Where ark 2 is? is there a new in-game trailer? dont really care about movies or cartoons. just whant to know if the games comin out this year and or iff theres in-game stuffs to show off longer then .3 sec worth of showing. Twitters been quiet Very quiet.

That is an interesting idea, it goes way further than an offline raid protection. But i dont see why people would build any proper bases on the actual map anymore then. If you can bring items and creatures to the unraidable room and build whatever you want inside that room, thats all you need. And then there is no base raiding, no defensive base building and everything around that anymore, i imagine that would be pretty boring. An item upload like we have in ARK 1 but without the decay would be better in my opinion, but i dont really need any of that, a good offline raid protection is all i´d want personally.

Not a bad idea. Also anonymous offline whiping is what kills the system, server hopping should be limited to just 1 set of all different maps and the tribename should always be mentioned in the tribelog.

I agree. I would imagine that some people really like the current state of Ark PvP, but for me, active combat is magnitudes more fun than raiding offline players.

Cool! But I’m getting disappointed in the lack of ark 2 news

GenOne 650 has been down since 24th April... so roughly 5 days at time of post.
