What’re we doing here? Nobody wants to have a bad time. They can walk up and drop any tower w/o being shot

In the state of asa raiding having a tool like the box racer is a necessity

Rocket launchers are easier counters

#

I would say its fine if there must be like 2 sides open and not only the back side gate... It's just way to broken

jovial plume
#

Asa is so much defender sided no reason to take Away the Last Bit of fun on this game

U spend 2 hours on building it and pincoding and turrets settings just for a racer to clear it in 1... It's sad

Ur telling me that if I'm offline ur gonna wanna get 5mil cannon balls xD rather then just racer and place 300 C4 xD

jovial plume
#

We have a YouTube Video online @tawdry kindle where we Canon a Tower online

#

So of course if You’re Shit at defending thats what Happens

#

And if u can defend, you can defend against racers bro

blazing schooner
#

Trust me... Take away 3 structures of a racer and people gonna stop complaining about it... Bcs one gate is open then in the back and the racer gets more vulnerable

@jovial plume you just told me that asa is more defender friendly and then proceeds to tell me an example were u online cannoned someone's gen😅 that's random asf

#

Bro in asa i can fully defend everything solo

#

Even when theres like 5 man raiding me

blazing schooner
#

Rather than just use a racer and blow a tower maybe even under 1 hour

blazing schooner
jovial plume
#

Just use racers and see how much fun it is bro, im talking mainly about banning legit everything thats fun here

#

Its just shit

blazing schooner
#

It's not so fun if ur tower that u spend 2 hours on get dropped offline in under 1

#

People stopped building outside towers... Only bcs of this racer build exist

#

Way to many people complained about it and it's always the same people defending it... I raided way to many bases with it and people keep on spamming reports and was hard questioning if that's allowed... It's insane... Not one other cluster allowed it

#

Box racers is one of the few ways we can balance. Asa is extremely defender friendly. Box racers and poker builds are only useful in certain situations and once outside defenses are gone, they are irrelevant

blazing schooner

#

Yes

#

Not sure what ur argument is. The caves u listed are bigger and in some spots can fit a racer once inside. But doesnt change the fact that those spots are even more defender friendly. Well some are, some are a hit spots

cosmic portal
#

Y’all are missing the point. I can spam turrets and shoot rockets but all it takes is one of these racers offline and it’s a wrap

jovial plume
blazing schooner
#

Asa was always defender friendly bcs of the terrain turrets... But bcs of that u just allow a racer that can offline dog walk ur base and take all ur time that u put in a outside tower to just blow it in 40min?

You guys playing a no life game and u even know that

#

Nobody wants to spend 2 hours of their nice time to build an outside tower that can get dropped in 300 C4 and a racer

Like i said, build smart and no racer is doing shit to ur tower

If you rely that much on towers I'd suggest picking better spots to build

I mean me and @tawdry kindle racer so much shit and sometimes even we are Seeing towers we wont even consider racer cuz its well builded and aids to racer

Crouch scorched

Not quite sure what your pont is?

#

I literally said my point

jovial plume
#

Our outside is just to buy time like @merry burrow said, if u racer my outside you need to deal with inside

blazing schooner
jovial plume
#

so idgaf if u racer my outside

cosmic portal
#

Bc you’re behind a crouch

#

But your “good builds” won’t save your towers

jovial plume
#

Even when i have a Stego size entrance

#

Not even good builded honestly my mate builded the first time in his life cuz he had fun with it

#

so Come and try if uc an racer

merry burrow
#

So you get rid of box racer you have multiple towers you ain't really gonna be getting fobbed anymore

cosmic portal
#

Push spam

#

Easy

merry burrow
#

Your missing the point

jovial plume
#

And not to mention, Racer is the only way in a fortnite fight you can Push Foundations, cuz people spamming their asses off with Thin pillars and yet even Half Thin Pillars in the game

Ppl play boosted servers to have fun ect not having to spend copious amounts of time raiding 1 base

If you need a racer that literally doesn’t get shot to raid a base you aren’t good at raiding

Like what’re we even talking about here 😂

#

& it’s not an online issue it’s solely an offline issue

I’m gonna become a menace with this tech until you all realize it’s not worth having so circle back to this in a week.

#

My entire 5 man will be walking through with them

blazing schooner
#

I already been a menace with it... Several wipes I just farmed all my adv and shards with racers... Not gonna lie what's even the point on breeding them if ur just invincible xD

#

I got several reports on my name on how op these racers were even online... It's crazy that only the same people thing it's balanced

cosmic portal
blazing schooner
#

We have Carnage the admin saying that Racers are fine... That bro didn't even know what mutagen was... Bro didn't even play Ase and started complaining... It's crazy

cosmic portal
#

Yeah idk why he said it’s a must for the state of the game? We must be playing different games idk

blazing schooner
#

Also it improves player skill by a lot... I mean every bob can use a box racer... With only half of a box racer u can at least filter the better players from the bob ones and people actually start using other strats and start improving themselves

bitter spire
#

The fact people want no terrain turrets with also allowing box racers show they don’t want to any work for raids. They don’t want to soak or anything. Then we wonder wipes don’t last long.

blazing schooner
#

I'm literally the one that don't want terrain turrets xD... But I also don't want Box racers 😅

tawdry kindle
#

Dont want to be toxic but holy bobs

bitter spire
#

No bobs just want it where if you’re offline someone can’t waste hours of work in minutes lol.

the difference of effort of building a racer and building an outside tower is too big racer is too effective and offline easily cheesable and abusable

i’ll build in next day or so

blazing schooner
#

Imagine they fix the no Terrain turret mod and then u have a turret wall that can get dropped easier and an outside that will get dropped in like 40min with this op racer...

#

I know u can say... Just build smarter or somewhere u can't get Box Racered... In the end it's still killing the pop...
And people with life don't wanna spend 2 hours of their precious time to build an outside tower that's suppose to stall at least 1-3 hours of time (depends on cluster) just for it to get dropped by a solo guy in 30min... Or even by more people just in 20min...

#

There is a reason why all the other clusters have the rule of at least leaving 2 sides of the racer opened...

#

I really don't get it... Every wipe there are new people complaining about this type of racer being op or do reports on it just to get hit with the reality that this kind of racer is allowed on elite ark... I don't get why the admin team isn't realizing that these racers are way too strong offline...

#

Just saying that u can currently still build a full boxed racer... So it's even worse... People can just raid ur base offline with a full box racer and if u come online they just demo the back gate of the racer like nothing happened (even if u play with clips it's hard to catch it)

olive comet
#

That racer like the admin said is needed for balancing purposes it’s incredibly easy to counter my suggestion to those complaining. Go look up how to make a proper build. I will not spill the beans on how to make the racers useless against towers but go do your research and stop crying. All it takes is a bit of game knowledge and some digging

#

And this applies offline or online. By the way

blazing schooner
#

U aren't even allowed to build floating structures

olive comet
#

Bro like I said do the research. It’s not hard. If you get offlined thats on you man. There is metas for everything.

blazing schooner
olive comet
#

Adapt and overcome bro

blazing schooner
#

Bro like I said... Adapt means u dont build a proper outside tower or u build on spots where racers have a hard time walking up

olive comet
#

Easy days then but with how easy it is to defend. It would make the game unbearable if now we can’t even use the racer line that

#

And yea cool we can soak towers and push the proper way but all ppl do to defend is spam , spam turrets and turn everything only survivors… on solo duo there isn’t much you can do against that just gotta come back offline and I ain’t finna sit at a enemy tower for 8 hours plus to play the long game to see who hops off first

#

You are going to have to suck it up my brotha or build in a spot where you dont have to worry about racers

blazing schooner
olive comet
#

That don’t stop you from placing on the ground though does it ?

blazing schooner
#

My point here is that after they added the mod they should nerf the racer so outside becomes way stronger than before... So nobody just offlines your tower in 40min

#

Easy meta to counter

shut elm
#

Should be limited to 5 gates totel, 2 on the sides and 1 on the front. Still can be used but easier to be shot from behind. 🤷

pure lantern
#

Bases should be extremely easier to raid offline

red bobcat
#

with raid cooldown there’s almost no chance you get racered online

olive comet
#

Precisely

shut elm
# pure lantern Bases should be extremely easier to raid offline

LOL easier in that you can free soak yes. But no. Then everyone will just offline even more so than they do now. facepalmpicard
The problem now is online raiding. Offline raiding should be more difficult because it already takes 0 effort to do it.
Free cannoning/soak/racer especially when they fully box the racer bc theres no one to catch them cheating.

pure lantern
#

It just won’t happen

#

And it shouldn’t, it’s a survival game with a huge raiding aspect

shut elm
pure lantern
#

I didn’t say that

#

I said it’s made more difficult by orp, was not comparing the two

#

It will never be harder than if a player is krab roleplaying

shut elm
# pure lantern I said it’s made more difficult by orp, was not comparing the two

Ahh yah. I mean, I think racer nerf would be fine as long as there is an accompanied online nerf.
Like online turret damage nerf. or as you said krab roleplaying, reduce krab hp/resistance. 150k with 124 saddle is takes like 1200 arrows with a cap bow.

But as said, racers are really only used offline and 90% of the time used illegally anyway. So reducing the structures slightly so they have to be a little slower than just running a 3-5 racer train through a base wouldnt be a bad thing. There will see be mana/mae/pt bomb and im not saying remove all structures just reduce it slightly so they can just create infinite trains or just walk past most defense.

pure lantern
#

I don’t think they are used illegally as much as you think

#

I constantly just fly around maps watching and see raids of people using legal racers all the time

#

Most people don’t want to risk a ban for an extra gate

#

And you can make it slower it just takes a lot more effort and I do mean a lot

#

As for the nerfs to krabs I’m all for it

shut elm
#

Lol I also fly around the map alot too. Ive seen someone watching a raid with an illegal racer and didnt report it as i was watching the report channel for awhile. And thats proof enough to me that if the tribe is offline they can get away with it most of the time theshrug

merry burrow
shut elm
# merry burrow So why didn't ypu report it then?

same reason they didnt and why most passerbys wont unless it directly affects them. "Not my base, not my problem" That and by the time i got my recording software up, they had moved the racer in a position where i couldnt get a clip. I dont go around looking for cheaters. Thats the staff teams job. Im just trying to play a dinosaur game lol

#

Also was going to sit there forever waiting for them to move it in a position that showed the full box Shrug

#

And lets be honest, the staff team is always swamped with tickets so buy the time they got to the ticket and went to check, it likely would have been gone anyway

#

All viable reasons though to just prevent it in the first place by reducing the structures so they can only fit 5 gates

pure lantern
#

Hence the no report channel

#

Making a racer 5 gates would make it a useless raiding Dino and hurt online raiding more than it already is

#

Anything less than what it is, it becomes too niche to use

#

This was already changed once and after the change there was a massive poll in suggestions to change back to its current state

shut elm
# pure lantern Anything less than what it is, it becomes too niche to use

Its already niche, you can still easily walk up to turret towers with only 5 gates as long as they dont have turrets like 15 foundations to the side of the towers.

And ofc the people who cant free run bases offline with a racer are going to cry 🤣
Yall cant keep changing something for 1 season and get blow back from 1 side and instantly change it back. lmfao

AND if terrrain turrets were disabled as planned racers would have been even more busted. Especially since theyr disabled ground terrain and not just walls/ceiling.

pure lantern
#

It was a big poll and had like 75 upvotes to 12 downvotes to change back

#

Raiding on ea is already tough and you have to prep for a long time to raid big bases

#

Not to mention the fact that any capable tribe is unraidable after week 1

#

And almost every cave isn’t racerable

shut elm
# pure lantern It was a big poll and had like 75 upvotes to 12 downvotes to change back

Doesnt matter, 1 season isnt enough of a test. Thats the problem EA has. They change something for 1 season, get small upset 75 of 500/cluster and change it back. No company does that. People just want their easy offline raids bc they suck and cant online raid.

Make online raiding easier and nerf racers together and it shouldnt be a problem. If changes are made with a balanced approach such as that, its not as detrimental to the longevity of the server or the wah wah players.

pure lantern
#

Polls are typically a general estimate survey of what the population wants

#

Not all people scroll suggestions but the population that wants change does

#

And you say make these simple changes but have no changes to suggest, my point is racers sit at a good spot as of now, changing them in hopes of other changes its pointless because the community will never agree on what is perfect

#

If people are getting wiped and giving up even when we offer 3 days of protection to freely build up there isn’t much more we can do to keep people rebuilding

#

The claim that people suck and can’t online raid is unfounded as well, what parameters makes someone bad at the game? Because people can’t kill a krab on the other side of a trike choke point they suck? Not a very good gauge of skill

shut elm
# pure lantern And you say make these simple changes but have no changes to suggest, my point i...

Dont recall using simple as the description. But I offered two today, nerf krabs, and online turret damage.
Can also increase raid log timer from i think its 2 hours to 3 or 4 hours.

Racers arent in a good place hence why people are constantly requesting it to be reduced. This isnt the first time or last time itll be suggested.
There are very little offline counter to box racers, nothing in the game should have 0 counters. The only one for racer is ground turrets which is barely a counter as you can just walk up to them all as is. But if used properly, you can have the entire entrance to your cave destroyed before you can get out there or get back on.

If you cant gauge skill in that manner then you cannot gauge skill for racer prevention as a gauge of skill as you have in the past. 🤣

pure lantern
#

i can because i have watched @earnest socket put in hours of effort to make towers that i myself could never build correctly unracerable

#

at the end of the day defenses are meant to be destoryed and are a method to delay the enemy from getting your loot

shut elm
# pure lantern i can because i have watched <@368082264212373505> put in hours of effort to mak...

Nothing is unracerable outside of maybe tree plat that covers all sides of a tower. But theres only 1 cave in redwoods that its possible to do that with.

You can delay it, you cannot make it unracerable. But offline, the delay means very very little as it wont add that much time to taking it down with 0 worry in the world. And thats my point, there is no worry at all of dying when doing it. Even free soaking you can still die and delay the raiding. Not with racer boxing. And thats what removing 2 gates does, removes the 0 worry as you still need to be careful when walking up with the racer. Will turn them 0 skill to some skill

#

And again, if all terrain turrets truly are removed, racers are going to be even more busted.

earnest socket
#

You can delay it so much offline, they took 5-6 days to drop my tower with racers and soaking alone.

pure lantern
#

I just don’t think you have seen a goon tower

#

I’m telling you if people were better at building this racer thing wouldn’t even be a discussion

cheaters dropped titans on our base that wipe

#

tower stood

#

discord tribe logs showed level 1500 arthros breaking our stuff lol

#

tower still stood through all that

I’ll build a few this wipe and see if they stand

#

The last base I built with a lot of towers out side was that Redwood’s cave exceed was talking about but no one even tried to raid it lol

You tell me look at this RV build

It’s ridiculous

Didn’t even soak a single bullet

Or get banned with a +20 hour urgent ticket

Still covering the Dino

Surely not

#

U covering all sides now

#

I don’t even know. Exactly. But all I got from an admin “can you take another picture of the ramp” after the urgent ticket has been open for 18+ hours. Like bro it’s over urgent ticket with no response or check the situation insane. Never had issue with tickets being handled on other servers. I could only imagined a non urgent ticket lol

latent roost
#

It clearly says 1 side open

#

if ur racer is allowed u can drop anythingggggg

#

Bcs u don’t get shot from the back

normal mantle
#

Bro the back ramps covered the ass of the racer

latent roost
#

Yes

#

1 side need to be open

normal mantle
#

It was fully covered.

#

Even ground turrets didn’t shoot it

latent roost
#

Yeah thats what I mean

#

Should be a straight ban

normal mantle
#

I agree but after 18 hours no response and they still aren’t banned we just gave up. I think people only get banned for cheating or owt

#

Or at events for illegal stuff

latent roost
#

That’s messed up

#

It’s clearly breaking rules

normal mantle
#

Yeah. I Like the game, but coming back to that and doing a proper ticket and the time it takes to get a response no bueno m. Might have to put ark down for abit again

pure lantern
#

Idk about clearly

#

Those pictures are very blurry

#

If you were asked for for info it’s simply because we can’t make out the photo is all

#

From just off how you are describing it, sounds illegal

this will always be a 50-50 opinion

50% people that actually raid 50% bobs that just doesnt know how to defend against it lol

blazing schooner
shut elm
# blazing schooner Most people only complain about it being too offline... The majority of people k...

People claim you can defend against it offline. But there is no defense and the delay is very small especially on 5 man, having either 5 racers running down as a train or 5 around the tower placing c4 at the same time. It takes 0 skill to do. There should be risk in every action and there is none with racers lol

Only people who want to offline raid everyone because they either cannot online raid or are too scared to online raid complain about not having 7 gates. shrugspuddle

Other problem are racer trains, 1 racer has the back open, shove another racer right up to it with the front open but back closed off and walk together and gg not against the rules technically and can bypass all turrets

normal mantle
#

lol they did last thing you just mentioned. Like did you raid me?? Haha

#

Exactly the people who can’t online raid racer build. I PvP not god like but ok and I only online raid. Shoot don’t get me started of how many tribes popcorn their loot

#

Hours of raiding for 0 loot

#

But hey admins say it’s not bannable, old ASE servers some were bannable. Wish I like ASE but that grapple glitch is g/@/(y lose a whole wall nah I’m out

#

I guess Atleast insiding is hardwired banned

you cant even put more gates anymore its impossible to build illega

they limited gates to 1 below even 3 sides boxed you have to finish with walls

have you not played this wipe?

blazing schooner
#

Did u even play this wipe? xD

pure lantern
#

Gate limit is 7, the event prevents thing is a bug

#

But yes you can slant them

#

And we ban people who slant the back ones

blazing schooner
#

Ahhh even worse

pure lantern
#

Isn’t worse

#

Raiding should be possible

blazing schooner
#

Offlining a outside tower is boring asf

pure lantern
#

I feel once again you guys fail to realize everyone advocating for the racer build to stay the same, can have that used against them

#

But can easily counter it

#

By being competent players

#

It’s really not difficult to counter

blazing schooner
#

Don't wanna argue with a admin that only played asa ngl... I just don't feel like it... bcs u never experienced it the other way around

pure lantern
#

I play servers without box racers currently, and you can base it on I’ve only played Asa but I’m also in the very top of Asa skill ceiling no ego

#

I enjoy raiding and any change to reduce that I’m going to fight

#

It really comes down to the fact that people want their base to be untouchable when offline

#

That’s just not what ark is, and should not be

blazing schooner
pure lantern
#

I’m not self glazing

blazing schooner
#

ok xD

pure lantern
#

I’m just stating as an experienced player who has never been successfully raided on Asa

#

It’s dumb that you can’t be raided

#

So no, a change to further increase the strength of defending is not something that should be allowed

blazing schooner
latent roost
#

Then claim a better cave

pure lantern
#

If your outside is getting dropped in 30 minutes it’s once again the players problem for building a bad outside

blazing schooner
pure lantern
#

You guys are actually not real bro

#

A good tower is not getting stopped in 30 minutes or less

#

It just isn’t

#

It takes longer than that to even place the c4 necessary to blow a shitty tower

#

And that’s with no proper defenses

latent roost
#

30 mins for a tower is crazy

#

that’s a long time

blazing schooner
pure lantern
#

It’s going to be back asap

#

It was broke with the engine

blazing schooner
#

👍🏻

pure lantern
#

And will be refined as we go

#

But once again I stand on the point that effort = reward

#

If you take the time to build a god tower

#

It won’t be dropped

#

Exhibit A

merry burrow
#

No terrain turrets aint gonna change much in regards to box racers unless ur in a wide open cave

pure lantern
#

Our tower that stood for 5 days offline

#

Just takes effort to secure defenses

blazing schooner
pure lantern
#

People want to throw up some turrets and cap em and expect safety

pure lantern
#

At that point a shitty tower is gonna get stego bug dropped anyways

blazing schooner
pure lantern
#

4th or 5th 2 5mans ago

blazing schooner
pure lantern
#

But we were a full good tribe

#

But it’s the same concept and punishes raiders

#

Instead of defenders

#

Which is who should he punished for shitty builds

#

Idk how anyone can disagree with that

blazing schooner
#

I can agree that better builds gives more time for you to come online... But you build this day 5 on a 5man... Now imagine people on day 5 on 3 man or even solo-duo... You won't have enough to build things like that... And even higher offline timer... That's just not realistic to have such an op offline raid method for towers

#

And you had a good 5 man like u said... Imagine some random ass Tribe or people that's can't even start with 5 or 3 man on a 5 man or 3man server because their mates are busy for the wipe day

#

It's fine for 5man I guess bcs most of the time you have someone online

#

But for 3man and solo-duo it's just not it man

pure lantern
#

Not to mention discord tribe logs

blazing schooner
#

Yeah true

blazing schooner
pure lantern
#

15$ for a whole tribe to monitor their base offline woth 2x turret dmg and 3x structure

blazing schooner
#

In the end it's still an advantage were u need to pay for it... Doesn't matter how much it cost... But yeah 15$ is not that much

#

Carnage do you think when the mod gets fixed u agree with nerfing the racer for that wipe?

#

Bcs caves gonna be way easier to raid then

pure lantern
#

I would have to see how the turret mod truly affects raided

#

Realistically smart players will just hang thin pillars from the ceiling

blazing schooner
#

Doesn't matter bcs thin pillers are way easier to destroy with pt c spins and also allows people to Tek rifle and even Tek saddles can destroy them

#

It's gonna be way more balanced trust

pure lantern
#

Can’t pt c spin tek rifle tho

blazing schooner
#

It was always the ceiling teks that ruined it... But with them needing to be on a structure... Pt rocket run, Tek rifle behind a stego or even LOS things gonna help a lot

blazing schooner
pure lantern
#

I know but

#

If it’s a tek thin pillars

#

It’s gonna be tough

blazing schooner

Better then 20k on a Tek turret😅
