  1. is this max lvl because unofficial? or because crystal wyvs have diff?
  2. I feel like extinction servers in general have had it worse. Idk but I doubt some engineer unpluging / pluggin your server will do anything as there is something fundamentally different about that map that is just... broken.
  3. What!? So I've killed a few babies for xp but never noticed them fighting back... what? Sad day anyways poor griffin.
  4. Over 2 thousand posts, helps keep this thread alive. It helps spread awareness about how unhealthy the servers are, which in theory should cause a good game studio to think about fixing it. Considering that 75.6k people have viewed this thread, and it has stayed near the top of the forums for most of the last year, wild card can safely assume this is their number one issue.
  5. They say their servers are getting hit with malicious attacks. You say you can't connect to the server with out janky networking hacks... The most common disruptive network attack is known as a massive distributed denial of service. This is accomplished by turning thousands of potentially unwitting computers into a bot net, then spamming the victims network with an overwhelming flow of traffic. The solution is to either divert or ignore the flows. I wouldn't use a vpn, or switch routers, or connect direct by ip. I would run a virus scan and do something else for several hours.
  6. Did you hit notes/dosier before your rampage (ridding the dino when you step across the note gives the dino xp buff)? Personally I just leave dinos in cryo for a few weeks after they are newly tamed or raised. Sometimes even months or I forget about them entirely, but I'm end game PVE, with more dinos than I will ever need, so I can do that. But after I take them out of cryo after idk how long, they just automatically get like 40-60 lvls.
  7. My friends and I have experienced something similar on pc official networks. One of us able to log in and play, while the others are unable to even see the server in the list. That sounds to me like networking problems, perhaps related to scripts combating the ddosing. The only way to stop denial of service attacks is basically rerouting the normal traffic, and the attackers traffic just pings a routers port that is just like meh. They can also extend this game of bop a mole into the wider internet, there is companies that own servers that just extend your network to try to confound ddos. But if they don't have enough bandwidth of external router, and the attacks keep coming from different directions, it gets messy.
  8. LOFL why does scarlet the rock drake have a heart for a poo hole?
  9. Spent a while sorting through dinos, picked out two megatherium, one thylocole, and a deinonychus. Got some other gear, including a few gas masks. Went hunting for the swamp cave. It took me a minute wandering randomly through that end of the redwoods on my deinon, but eventually I got in there and unpodded my three cavers. They seemed to be doing well at first, but I didn't like it for some reason and switched to riding one of the megatherium... oh that's right I remember thinking deinon is over weight so I threw everything in my inv and jumped over. Shortly after that my deinon got way out front and died. Then it went down hill, massive lag and rubber banding and I couldn't tell what was going on. Got so bad I tried to back track out to surface. Then the server crashed right near the entrance. Last thing I was doing was transfering my equipment to a mounts inventory, but I doubt that stuck, been checking battle metrics ever since, but last time my server crashed that hard it was down for a week, been over 2h. Rip deinon, and probably all the rest of it.
  10. I think they are silent because they are busily trying to genetically engineer fire retardant hamsters.
  11. Once again my server came back online after being dead/mostly dead for hours/days/over a week, the performance slowly got better, more and more people flocked to it, crash BANG hamster fire. I was in the middle of the swamp cave ffs. Rip cave gear/dinos. Endless cycle of people going back to play on their servers when they come back, but the servers can't handle like 15/30 or more players connecting. Seriously wc figure this out, what do you need to do? Perhaps lower the server player cap from 70 to 15?
  12. Where is your character saved when you upload only? Is there an extra server that saves stuff that isn't on any server? Because if so perhaps that server could be given some extra hard disk space, and any time someone transfers just write some extra data to that which documents what when where etc. so when someones like DILO my stuff isn't on any server a admin can just query the extra file and be like oh yes it looks like you had full tek, three poded what evers and your character was level 105 with such and such engrams, here ya go...
  13. So you're saying Fortnite is a buggy as ark? If it's not the exact same situation less the information dissemination, your comparation is fake-news-ation. lol sry
  14. I've been trying for hours just to log back into my server - which appears in the list, then disappears, and has real bad lag, and when it does let you in it boots you immediately, and alll that jazz... yea you know the drill, I guess we are calling that behavior a ghosted server? Anyways I've been desperate to get back in because I had babies out, and now some of them are dead, though hopefully I got a few podded, idk if it will stick because clearly the server doesn't know so how am I to know? And now I've gotta go sleep soon. Gg hamster. gg.
  15. This sucks.. would/ could validating game files help in any way?
  16. It is precisely the roll back that is causing me to loose dinos and structures. Ever since this bull poop began (what now, like half a year ago?) the few times I've tried raising dinos, about 30% of them have starved to death due to the server rolling back my feeding them. I even almost lost an adult dino from the same. And I have lost a bunch of structures that I was going and refreshing the decay timer on every few days and even sometimes just sitting there for 20min at at time trying to make sure the bull poop server registered that I was there. After a certain amount of lunacy, it is okay to get mad. If this goes on for another half a year, I won't be here. Poo, I might not even make it 2 months.
  17. I have been following this thread for a while now, and a while back I think a guy name of jat or jad posted something here. I think that is one of the forum admins, and also a guy that works for wild card. But I aint gonna go digging. But your point is well taken that they mock us with their silence.
  18. I've been spending more and more time on other games, and the rest of my tribe out right quit. Just saying... insert another argument about whether ark is dying or thriving... but like anything it can only take so much.
  19. It seemed to get a little better for a few weeks or so and is starting to get worse. Why would it suddenly get worse? Another flipping event.
  20. Yes they are tracking analytics. Jat who works for wild card recently posted this: "A lot of the servers were already upgraded, we're just in the process of hitting ones that haven't been so far. As for recent server performance/stalls/crashing, we've been doing some monitoring over the past week and have made some improvements, and today's patch that's going out right now (310.5) has some additional data-gathering tools enabled for us to identify more of stalls & crashes, so hopefully we'll be able to get some good data and get some more fixes in."
