Add a Tribe-Wars Boss Arena I had an idea for a kind of boss battle with no boss actually needed... Just an arena... I know there was something similar in the past but this would be a little different... My thoughts are having an alternate boss match-type available at the obelisks... PVP would still be into this but it pretty much gives PVE players the ability for a PVP match also, all within the core game of ARK but much more controlled... Like a boss battle... but Tribe on Tribe... but more like the best, or up to the 5 best fighters from two different tribes going head to head as if the opposing tribe would be like the Boss in the match... You could have Gamma - Which would be up to 5 VS 5 with NO Dinos or TEK Gear. Beta - Could be up to 5 VS 5 allowing ONE dino per survivor with no Flyers or TEK Gear... Alpha - Could be up to 5 VS 5 allowing up to THREE Dinos per survivor and would also allow Flyers and TEK Gear... The Arena would have to be wide, open with slight cover scattered around, and a TALL ceiling or even an "open sky" that expands to be larger than the arena itself. Ruins would be amazing for this kind of Arena... I think an option like this would give Tribes A LOT more to work towards and prepare for besides regular boss battles, plus it would add a very diverse line up for Battles besides just a pack of Rexs... Making other Dinos actually worth breeding and raising up more often... I think something like this that keeps the war in a controlled space rather than destroying bases across the map would give PVE servers the ability to have competition between tribes that doesn't put their builds and all their tames at risk... Water Dinos would sadly be excluded unless their could be an option to flood the same arena to have a marine-specific battle. but either way I think this would give the game a WHOLE lot of longevity passed what it is right now... And that is saying a lot because this game already has proven to have longevity. Something like this would bring players back in hordes to test each other in a match like this... And honestly there should always be the option to go 1 VS 1 or 2 on 2 all the way up to 5 VS 5, or maybe more, to fit different team types and those would honestly call for whole new strategies and game play making this game-mode way more diverse... I really think it is a simple win - win to implement this in... Your just providing the arena and the option in the obelisks to transfer your team and dinos to it... I really thought this would be an amazing idea and would really spark the community interest again... I would really consider it... but it's just a thought... Thank you for your time.

Center/Ragnarok/Valguero Unique Bosses TLC Since seeing the unique boss for the crystal Isles I thought about the other free mod maps and how you could make them each feel brand new all at once... I feel adding a new unique boss and arena to each of these maps would bring everyone in force back to play through these maps, get the artifacts, and fight the new bosses. Win-Win for you and the community for a lot less work than a whole new map or DLC I would think... I have some ideas to put forward for each of these maps if you will hear them out... The Center Since it already has its own unique arena which is so well made I would stick with that theme. Since there is only One unique Boss on Crystal Isles I will stick with that model for each map. It would be easy to just slap the Megapithecus (Kong) on his own and say have at it... but I think being king of a whole map he should be more along the lines of an Ultrapithecus... Having a much more detailed model and attacks... Maybe more speed and targeting, a more vertical stance like the Bigfoot, and maybe he can climb a cliff and make boulders fall down as an evasion when taking to many hits. That would be much more epic and fitting for first free map in my opinion... Ragnarok Since we already used a variation of one of the island maps bosses for one map... It would make since plus make them all neat and uniform to use the other two also... Obviously a reskin Dragon Boss from the Island would be amazing enough... but give it a little smoother flying motions and better path finding for that particular arena and you already have a fight which is twice as good... but adding at least one unique attack would make it ten times better... 2 and it's a whole new fight... Keep the Rock Elementals as minions, but make these unique... Have the Dragon fly straight up into the sky with an animation that makes it obvious this attack is coming... Have the Dragon release a fire ball that engulfs the center of the arena giving you a ring on the outside of the arena which is safe from damage... Have all the Rock Elementals hit with this attack become the Magma Elemental version for the first few minutes after the attack... Epic. Add in a couple of fire wyvern minions at the beginning, middle and last bit of the Dragon's health bar and that would be an amazing way to end one of the best maps Ark has to offer... Valguero Last but certainly not least is the Broodmother... but how about a Brood-Empress? This would be the only one that needs some actual work done to their boss arena... Valguero has a very open boss arena and that would have to be altered a bit to give some areas for her to climb, like an open crevice or cave mouth with webbed up tunnels or something... A long with a spider web make over to the whole arena. I see a more flexible and agile version than a Broodmother that can run up walls and hang from ceilings... Maybe have Broodmothers that are smaller and weaker than the gamma version (Brood-Princesses) that come out of the webbed tunnels along with a bunch of araneos as the Empress hangs from the cave mouth or added in over hangs as it hits mid-health bar and low-health bar... I see her larger but thinner than the Broodmother with longer legs, and when hanging from the ceiling/overhangs she can use webbing to pluck riders off their dinos and drop them into her brood to feed... You could have a LOT of fun creating an upgraded spider boss fight... Even making these ideas simpler would be amazing and add a huge resurgence for the prior mod-maps. Something to think about for the future down the line... You could even add one explorer note to each map that explains these are the perfect end-results of the bosses from the Island that "Rockwell" or the Ark system or whatever created in it's programming of making harder threats for the survivors to face... The other two being phased out due to the one becoming so effective, etc... And each map a different boss happened to be the one to "Evolve" through the programming... Just a thought. Maybe make unique survivors from each map that left the note. An Easter egg nod to the devs in the names of the survivors on the notes for their maps would probably be a nice gesture... Would be pretty amazing just saying...

Control Boss Teleport's - Remove from drops, one per obelisk I have a sever cluster in development, that is based on achievement, exploration and progression. I am developing an Ark API plugin that will permit you to teleport your survivor to the next "Level" (Ark) via the exclusive join list, once you complete the previous one. I intend to have players find all map specific explorer notes, personally retrieve all artifacts, defeat all bosses (level configurable in plugin) and ascend off the ark (level configurable in plugin). But as I am trying to encourage exploration and have players see the maps, I wish to remove the boss arena spawns from the Beacons (supply drops), and also only have the boss arena's at their specific obelisks. Is anyone aware of such settings within the server configuration, or a mod that controls such configuration? Thanks in advance for any help.
