Remove farmable ELEMENT completely.

[boreal sable]

I feel like having the option to get 400-1500 (depending on anky) element per run is hurting the option to online raid. Being able to cap your tek turrets 8 times over if not more is making it not-ideal. Having to run bosses makes element a limited resource unless you invest time in farming it.
I think online raiding would increase a lot more if everyone didn't know that they are gonna have to soak 5-8 rounds of capped teks everytime.

[novel token]

Your supposed to destroy tek turrets not soak them lmao

[boreal sable]

And how do you plan on doing that seeing as tek saddles are unable to do damage currently? If its 6x, sure. But if not?

[hollow sapphire]

this^^

also have you seen some of these custom caves? the ceilling is so high you'd have no way of destroying them

[white summit]

I see what y'all mean but there's definitely a lot more to element then just the turrets that make this argument valid it's extremely easy not only to get the ammo for the turrets but every other tek item thanks to the cave I think it should be removed as well

[novel token]

mmh i see hwere your coming from but still just go on no tek ig fixes all your problems

[boreal sable]

How fun is it fobbing someone that doesn't have tek? It's not even a fair fight or fun.

[novel token]

if u dont wanna play no tek just thug it out till saddles get fixed

[boreal sable]

Still believe that "unlimited" element is hurting the servers/pvp/pop more than helping it. Makes people reach end-end game too fast. Bosses aren't hard, i get that but. Just having to put in some more time and effort reaching and maintaining that should be harder. You shouldn't be able to join a fresh wipe, go kill monkey w stegos and brood w procop 4 hours in, and then instantly craft every tek structure in the game cause you have no limit on element/black pearls.

[wind hearth]

just nerf the rates for ele from the caves. I can’t go back to having to run bosses for ele. it’s insanely boring.

but the ele is insane

[novel token]

lmao trust me farming bosses every time u want ele is what makes the server die theres a reason elite ark is always filled and others aint everyone wants a ele cave i agree rates are to op but my way of fixing that would be make the ele only farmable by hand

[proven urchin]

tek saddles are not broken you can use them

[boreal sable]

for 95% of all players/servers they do not do damage. Only the tape ones

[proven urchin]

if they break take them on and off the dino

[dull oyster]

? But bosses are ez to farm tho

5mins tops

[proven urchin]

tek saddles work though

still a good idea too much ele too quick. shouldnt be farmable in caves but also should be transferable

[wind hearth]

farming bosses is ez but a boring aspect

[dull oyster]

More boring than hitting a node?

[wind hearth]

takes too long bro. You have to go grab the artifacts and then the tributes. Sometimes it take 20 drops before you get the right artifacts. Most of the caves are claimed.

[dull oyster]

Yeah forces you to actually get out on the map with in return makes more pvp scenarios

[wind hearth]

not really, you can run bosses from the transmitter. You’re just gonna see a guy on a wyv or tek suit zip away

after he grabs his 25th white drop

[dull oyster]

Then chase him? All I'm saying is alot of things on this server are kinda just handed to you

Maybe add bps? To boss make it worth it?

[wind hearth]

it’s handed to you to make more pvp. If you like open world pvp with pt and wyvs then a weekend wipe server might be more for you. Eliteark is about endgame and no one wants to farm boss fights all day.

nerfing the amount of ele you get would be fine

[dull oyster]

Fair enough

[warped phoenix]

take saddle on and off whilst riding, allows it to do damage

[white summit]

Yeah we should definitely nerf the amount of ele cause for one the people that have school don't have the time that these no lifers have right off wipe then we get completely destroyed when we get on after our 9 to 5 at school 😂

[graceful wigeon]

Idk asa is meant to have to not have as much tek as ase, I don’t see why people want to make asa just like ase when the game is still available to play with eliteark servers aswell

[white summit]

Wellll there's a problem with that ase elite ark isn't available on all platforms asa servers from what I know are 💁‍♂️ so the Tek people from ase that can no longer play it come over to asa and want it to be like ase

They're two separate games at the end of the day though even 2 separate platforms one is on ps4 and 5 one is only ps5

I think they should possibly have some sort of Tek server like a fiber craft for these types of people who want pvp all the time constantly

And possibly a more grindy server like the no Tek WHICH is amazing btw

[wind hearth]

actually asa will have more tek than ase

just because all the maps aren’t out

Prim+ died for a reason folks

[warped phoenix]

this here

[graceful wigeon]

Yes but it’s still limited now and should only be available through the boss fights, but that’s just my opinion and others may have the same

[fickle elk]

You guys have to keep in mind all the little guys. The guys that make up 70% of the server. Ones that aren't capable of doing a boss run for a week, but can run to an element cave and sneak away with some element. This is what makes the server last longer while you guys come and wipe them offline

[graceful wigeon]

I mean i think I’m one of the little guys and it hurts more than it helps for us. We can farm it a little while they spam farm it. In the end it doesn’t matter I guess though cause the little guys are gonna get offlined once they’re found anyways

[timid thorn]

Yeah but makes onlining a pain as they just farm more ele for their tek turrets

[fringe canyon]

Plus the guy who suggested this is one of the guys who ran everyone’s base with tek 💀

[wind hearth]

fr the dude that said this has raided half the cluster bro😭

this is a mindless suggestion

[boreal sable]

This is part of the game. I think the fact that people are being fed speeded-up ways of reaching end game is bad overall. All of these things just gives players another reason to NOT leave their base to do stuff and just always be safe.

[boreal sable]

Yet i couldn't have if there was no element cave? So whats your problem with the suggestion?

[fringe canyon]

Shhh

[frank hare]

someone post a video of them onlining a good capped custom cave spammed with tek turrets above

[boreal sable]

I've done multiple myself, my point is not that it is impossible, rather that instead of a good 5-6 hours raid it turns into 15/18/20/25+ hours because its too easy to refill ceiling tek's that u cant destroy cause of the saddles not working properly.

If the tek saddles were working as inteded on EA, element cave would not be a problem at all. As previously mentioned in this suggestion by someone, tek's are ment to be destroyed, not soaked. Currently not do-able.

[proven urchin]

Saddles work fine idk why you keep mentioning that when like 3 different people told you how to fix them

Take the saddle off and on while your on it

[smoky cloud]

Tek saddles 100% work every Dino that has one
