agreed, think making ppl throw babies out to raise em will just put smaller tribes at bigger disadvantage and widen the gape early on making the wipe shorter which is opposite of what we want with slower rates and less mods.

stray ruin
#

I hate to break it to you guys but small tribes will be in big disadvantage whatever you do here

#

If thats our concern

worthy current
#

its not the main concern imo but I think that there is no benefit to having to throw dinos out to raise em, makes it less fun. doesnt make wipe last longer. ur gonna have a aneurism trying to cycle ur breeders babies and dinos to ready. keep in mind there is a tame cap. cant have over 200 dinos out at once.

stray ruin
#

At that point, add back arkomatic

#

Its less fun to craft resources/ammo manually

worthy current
#

theres a big difference between crafting ammo and having to cycle breeders and babies and dinos all day every day

torpid imp
#

At this point, you’re just being a sour and grumpy dude. You gotta make some exceptions.

worthy current
#

its just something that will ultimately make the wipe die out faster imo with no real point

stray ruin
#

Thats the thing - how far do you intend to go?

unique gyro
#

at this point you guys flip flopped 450 times on settings

torpid imp
#

I would love nothing more than just having offical with some light mods, but you cant have everything.

stray ruin
#

Its either we go close to more vanilla style or we put here tons of qol

increase tame cap= unplayable lag

no cryo raising is just stupid

stray ruin
#

You know why? EA population is full of fast paced people.

worthy current
mystic ivy
stray ruin
#

If you want wipe to last slightly longer, you need to attract people that like this type of settings. No settings that we do will change that today and it's exactly same reason why people want all these qol stuff, because we want to drift back to most stuff as possible that we have on other clusters.

mystic ivy
#

nobody on eliteark wants these settings

stray ruin
mystic ivy
#

maybe 0.1% of the players

stray ruin
#

So once again, why are we doing this cluster?

worthy current
# stray ruin You know why? EA population is full of fast paced people.

bro theres a difference between fast paced and torture. I am looking forward to slower wipe but what you arent understanding is that noone will hand raise there babies cryo breeders throw em back out breed em cryo them throw out tames to saddle level and saddle em, wake em up, cryo them, throw breeders back out and breed em. it is fkn cancer. we not playing official we playing unofficial. we want a slower wipe thats fine but making it cancer to play is just dumb.

stray ruin
#

If nobody wants it?

mystic ivy
#

the cluster rn is fine as it is

#

the changes ur proposing are ridicoulous

#

none of this shit even affects u ur gonna be in a rathole and play for the first week

worthy current
mystic ivy
#

thats why u want hand raising etc

stray ruin
worthy current
torpid imp
#

You can’t make the changes too harsh, Kosticka. You’ve gotta make some exceptions.

stray ruin
#

Tell me guys, why is anyone even playing stuff like ARKpocalypse?

#

You gotta farm stuff, raise stuff, holy shit what a joke right?

mystic ivy
worthy current
mystic ivy
#

arkpicalypse is full of bobs

#

0 good players play it

#

its probably the only cluster with not a single good player

worthy current
#

we want a eliteark slower wipe not a arkpoc wipe clone, we would just go to arkpoc if we wanted arkpoc

stray ruin
#

And people in original post wanted different type of cluster

#

If we throw all this shit here, it defeats the purpose

torpid imp
#

Have you been on the test server? It’s wildly different.

worthy current
stray ruin
torpid imp
#

You’re just complaining right now. I was the one who made the original suggestion, with 5x rates.

I settled on 10x, as most people would probably enjoy it more.

nocturne niche
#

Cryo breeding. Significantly more dinos, more breeding easier raid, less ammo, less ele quick loss of pop

#

Due to wipes

stray ruin
torpid imp
#

The cluster is at a good spot right now - lets test on friday, and add more suggestions when we’ve tested it.

mystic ivy
#

i have an idea

#

keep the cluster as it is, only the tribes that survive the first 10 days can make suggestions after

nocturne niche
#

Sarcasm off?

mystic ivy
#

cuz all of u guys talking nonsense are gonna be playing for 4 days max

nocturne niche
#

What makes you think that? Assuming u also mean me?

worthy current
mystic ivy
#

you will see why i think that

nocturne niche
#

No. I dont get it

#

What makes you think that people who suggest a slower pace will play for 4 days?

magic forum
nocturne niche
#

Just out of curiosity

mystic ivy
#

i dont even play 3man cuz of the limited tek

#

i play it cuz its 3man

magic forum
#

like if you wanna keep playing same clusters over and over then go ahead, but stop shitting on ppls ideas

nocturne niche
#

And just to mention. Kosticka brought the idea up to get bossstuff into drops. They were supposed to be farmed out of caves and killing dinos

mystic ivy
#

he is also reccomending no cryo raising

#

u want me to get cancer podding my 200 breeders so i can throw out my 200 babies

nocturne niche
#

Yes. And that is a valid and good point

mystic ivy
#

then repod em when they adolescent so i can breed

#

then recryo again

#

every day

#

wont even have time to fob

nocturne niche
#

Honestly i start doubting your inteligence. The point is to have a different cluster to the existing ones

worthy current
nocturne niche
#

If you dont like it, leave it

unreal pasture
#

Yeah the whole point to have this is because people want a different type of server

#

He can't be real y'all

#

He's trolling he has to be

nocturne niche
#

What is the point in creating the same cluster again?

worthy current
stray ruin
#

I will say some super crazy idea - maybe on this cluster you are not supposed to have 200 breeders so you can have 1500 raid ready dinos.

#

How about that?

#

Because you are bringing numbers that you are used to from other clusters

mystic ivy
#

so how do u want me to raid?

#

if u want a pve cluster just ask for a pve cluster

nocturne niche
#

Wow

stray ruin
#

The boy can't raid without 1500 raid ready dinos 3 days in, I see

mystic ivy
#

not really depends on base spot

#

ur base will probably take 10 yi lings and 20 desmos

#

maybe a dread and a mek

stray ruin
#

The keyboard warrior suits you btw Ban, welcome to the club 😉

worthy current
# stray ruin Because you are bringing numbers that you are used to from other clusters

the settings are realeased and test server open, im not talking about other servers im tlaking about the 4man bro. if u disagree with me then we can debate it. thats what this is for. but for yall to say thats what this cluster is for if u dont like it dont play. I could say the same to you about my ideas. infact the current cluster settings are what im arguing to keep and you the one suggesting a change.

mystic ivy
#

im not even a keyboard warrior im a fact speaker

worthy current
stray ruin
worthy current
#

so same shit

mystic ivy
#

i see the problem here, u guys get wiped every wipe so now u want to create a borderline pve cluster so u can survive for more than a week this time

stray ruin
torpid imp
#

No one is forcing you to play it, Ban.

worthy current
stray ruin
#

Again controversial take from me - simply have less dinos.

mystic ivy
#

tell me how

stray ruin
#

Lower rates - less ammunition - less dinos

#

Are you following that?

nocturne niche
#

As far as i see it, this 4 man idea is meant to be different to the usual clusters. To give it a try, to attract different people. To have a bit of varity. If you need 1000s of dinos ez breed. Stay on the other servers. If you wsnt qol, stay on the other servers. Its plenty of em

magic forum
mystic ivy

less ammunition doesnt mean anything lol i can defend my base with 500 bullets per turret

Fact of the matter, we won't get this perfect the first season

but it has a lot of promise

torpid imp
#

Of course not - Rome wasnt built in a day.

stray ruin

Ronnie, so are we keeping cryo raising or not?

unique gyro
#

up to you guys

#

but you guys arent agreeing

stray ruin
#

I am against it, other guys are for it

magic forum
nocturne niche
#

Strongly against it

stray ruin
#

I think if we want slower paced server, people should have less dinos. Cryo raising is just making it more easy to get larger number of dinos.

worthy current
mystic ivy
#

strongly for it

stray ruin
#

I mean we used to not have it, we used to have nanny for a long time and it was fine. Do we really need to have that feature on slow paced server?

worthy current
#

just vote on it and whichever has more votes then he can do that

gusty jacinth

need delete meks from shop = it's more pvp on OSD's

nocturne niche

Let us just put some effort into our dinos esp with reduced ammo stacks and harder boss fights

unique gyro

tame limit?

mystic ivy

meks from shop are dookey anyways

mystic ivy
worthy current
unique gyro
#

not even dedicated can handle shit

worthy current
#

if tame limit is increased then its reasonable to remove cryo raising

unique gyro
#

wildcard didnt even implement dino stasis adjustment for asa like they did for ase

mystic ivy
#

if it will cause lag mot worth increasing

worthy current
#

but otherwise u gonna have to cycle dinos and its not reasonable to have no cryo raising

unique gyro
#

so dino unstasis is insansely large radius

nocturne niche
#

300

pine quartz
worthy current
#

I assume most tribes on the other clusters have nowhere near tame limit thrown out aside from a few. on this cluster every tribe will be near or at tame limit.

pine quartz
#

This why i said propagators people complain abt lag on normal servers imagine every tribe having 300 dinos thrown out contdantky breeding

nocturne niche

3 propagators

worthy current
pine quartz

Oh damn

worthy current

u can have 1 prop with 2 slots in it and its too much bc u can infinite breed

Ok. No propagators

mystic ivy

need a 25% mek buff

pine quartz
#

I didnt know

stray ruin
# unique gyro not even dedicated can handle shit

Didn't we use to have like 600 tame limit without props in the past? Servers were laggy yes, but if we bump it up to 300, it could maybe work when server doesn't have to deal with other mods like ARKomatic and stuff?

worthy current
#

if that is fixed then prop is easily best option with a nanny imo. that would slow it down enough and ppl dont have fridges of tames while also not needing to spend 20 hours a day dealing with breeding and raising

#

@mystic ivy out here suggesting props lmao

Believe it or not there are people enjoying that. Also lines will be a lot more valuable

@torpid imp I think that not rushing to add new maps is good but if they all actually capped and ppl simming thats not a good thing and those people just wont play the wipe especially if they get in late

magic forum
#

is miniing drill going to be mod still?

torpid imp
#

Didnt see it on the test server at least.

torpid imp
#

Makes ABB/LC/EXT actually maps that people might start on.

#

Exclusivity is a strong motivator for servers. E.g Astraeos on Arkpoc. The map was capped for almost 72 hours straight. We started on a different map.

worthy current
#

if just center is capped and other maps 50 ppl then yeah I agree no new maps bc it just waters it down

willow hare
#

This is supposed to be suggestions to help admin decide the best options they can't decide if the entire thing is ppl arguing with each other

torpid imp
#

All maps wont be capped though - I just mean they shouldnt release 4 centers and 32 rags.

#

Seeing 8 capped maps is more exclusive than seeing 14 semi full servers.

#

Wouldnt you agree?

unique gyro
#

we released that many because all maps capped at wipe launch

golden grotto
#

LMFAO

#

the boss fight thing is funny

torpid imp
#

LC/Ext/ABB, as well?

#

Not saying it’s anything wrong with adding servers to let people play, but I do think there’s a benifit to keep 1-2 servers per map.

golden grotto
#

I thought players wanted a slower pace game but asking for white and green drops to have boss stuff is funny

torpid imp
golden grotto
#

thats clownish behavior lol

autumn drift
#

No free boss fits for begginer servers than or limit it to just center boss for begginers.

unique horizon
#

Make it like leggo my stego on ase

autumn drift
#

No way a beginner server that launches next day should get full bosses lol

golden grotto
#

Let people just farm the tributes and other stuff like normally

#

why are we asking for white and green drops to have boss tributes? This is a slower pace game

autumn drift
#

Cant. people block artifacts instantly. I would put them in shop not drops

torpid imp
#

People can rebuild/start late

golden grotto
unique horizon
#

Takes away a lot of caves

autumn drift
#

Nah need beggienr servers just no benefits.

golden grotto
#

like the solution isnt to just give people free boss fights with points

autumn drift
autumn drift
torpid imp
#

You do not need beginner servers though - you need an incentive for players to rebuild/start late

autumn drift
#

Yeah on fresh servers where build locations are avalible

unique horizon
#

Don’t have a wipe every weekend might help

worthy current
torpid imp
#

It’s of course a more long term thing, which could work later.

It just really depends on the population. Ronnie has stated that he would love nothing more than not wiping every week.

worthy current
#

theres new EA wipe weekly

#

so ppl just move to the new wiped cluster instead of rebuilding on a old one

torpid imp
#

Long term it could be different though. As mentioned, the goal is assumingly keeping the population so there has to be less wipes.

Wipes right now are nesserary as the population does not hold for a week.

zenith wing
#

i mean to be fair i usually just spend all my points afk center fights when im online alone

#

imagine seeing carchas farming sarcos! peak gameplay

#

Selling an ABB fight would be worth a lot

autumn drift
#

@zenith wing agreed lol would be great for trading market too

zenith wing
#

first person to get an alpha fang gonna be rich!

autumn drift
#

Selling boss fights would actually be worth it too if there were no beginner server boss kits

zenith wing
#

beginner boss fights are wild, some ppl just hide till it opens, transfer and gets all the bosses i had to fight/farm

autumn drift
#

Yeah people cycle there whole tribe through to get the boss fights on day two.

upper glacier
#

yeah ngl the only reason I’m against tributes not being in shop is because I personally can’t be asked to go find an alpha reaper or basilisk

#

I feel like anything that requires 1/1 alpha wise or any other rare tribute should be added to shop for reasonable points, along with artifact sets.

#

However stuff like allo brains and megalania toxin can stick to be forced to farm

dawn olive
#

I’ve seen the removal of dinos from shops but I’d say maybe keep some non breedables in such as the Basilisk and Reapers?

upper glacier
#

reapers and rhynios were asked to be removed

Idk if Ronnie followed up on it

ok here is what Ill do. Ill leave the boss kits in the shop.

and also add them to white drops, BUT make them give out less

i actually dont think white drops should contain any tributes

#

just artifacts

#

slow pace game doesnt need boss shop at all

unique gyro
#

this is going to get to the point of being insanely slow

#

and 10 tribes will have only completed boss by sunday and everyone will quit

torpid imp
golden grotto
#

let them farm the tributes themselves

torpid imp
#

I don’t see anything wrong with tributes being in drops.

golden grotto
torpid imp
#

I still think it’s healthy to keep servers capped instead of releasing more servers though.

torpid imp
#

But it’s a fair point, I really don’t care if theyre in or not. I don’t see the issue

mystic ivy
#

like this its pointless

unique gyro

You’re always getting in, it just takes a little while

people actually wait queue instead of spam refresh?

I’m not trying to be difficult here, but the que in ark does not work. You have to spam join.

worthy current
stray ruin
#

Doesnt matter, we are trying to make cluster where everyone gets everything but thats the point of slower cluster - you need to work on it and its not fully free. We are suffering from the fact that we are designing it for EA people instead of trying to make it for people who would maybe at some point join from officials or other lower rate servers.

#

Those people currently dont play here, because servers are simply too boosted.

#

So yeah, we are trying to have more longevity, while players here don't care about it and they arent mostly commited to it.

worthy current
stray ruin
#

Leave artifacts in shop or white drops, let people farm the tributes

worthy current
stray ruin
#

And if people are super butthurt about alpha abb, okay let them have alpha reaper and basi tributes in shop, but common tributes should be always farmed period

#

People should go out there and kill dinos and compete in the world

#

But I thought that for once we will have completely new thing. Not the usual shit with known routes, where you know that lots of important things are delivered to you. Thats why I am salty, I would normally play even arkpoc if there werent so many cheaters. And the fact that we do same thing every wipe in terms of settings kind of made me take a break from EA also.

#

I was first excited for this when I saw very little modding, but now when we complain about many things that are part of the game and take effort, my excitement basically vanished, because it seems like it will be quite similar yet again. Yes slightly slower, but still similar.

#

We are saying that clusters die too fast and we need to protect those people by delivering stuff to them - on arkpoc or for example conquest nothing is delivered, yet people keep playing. And those people we should try to attract here, not those who quit after weekend no matter what.

#

Cluster will have always longevity based on the community. And if the community is here for fast gameplay and quitting after day 3, then it will happen here as well, no matter what quality of life you do.

#

So yeah, if you want different type of people in community, you need different type of cluster and give it time to grow. Like this it just feels like we are making flop that not as many people will enjoy here and it won't even attract new players who otherwise wouldnt consider EA at all.

nocturne niche
#

Exactly

torpid imp
#

You cannot not agree that this cluster is a great start though. As previously mentioned, Rome was not built in a day. Keep suggesting improvements, and we can form the perfect cluster within time. There’s no reason to complain.

stray ruin
#

Look at previous polls on server rates, people want 15-25x with overwhelming majority over 10x, because the community was built around this.

#

And this same community wants these "compromises" and they will always want them.

#

But literally all clusters are same with minor tweaks with peak being limited tek

stray badger
#

We all saw what happened when EA removed CS mod for a single wipe. People lost their mind despite the CS mod causing so many server issues

stray ruin
#

Yes

#

What I am looking for is new cluster, where new community would be building over time.

#

Does everyone need to play all clusters?

torpid imp
#

I of course agree with you, but we’re not calling the shots, the community and Ronnie is. There’s nothing more we can do but suggest.

stray ruin
#

Why cant we have cluster that is simply not for every average EA Joe?

stray ruin
#

For once I thought we can do something else

#

But as long as you listen to majority, you are doomed to fail.

#

Because what majority wants is already here

#

Thats why all clusters are same

torpid imp
#

To be honest, Ronnie has been listening to my suggestions, as I actually use punctuation, and give him a reasonable lists.

I just don’t see the issue with the boss tributes, as it won’t be that affecting on gameplay.

stray ruin
#

This has to be Ronnie, who would need to make a call, making something like this while ignoring the majority, taking it as potential future investment, which also might not end up coming back.

torpid imp
#

Ronnie’s been doing a great job on this cluster. Nothing but respect to the guy.

stray ruin
#

I cant say anything on that, to me EA is best ASA cluster there is, period. The only thing I have is that I am a bit burnt out from the same stuff over and over.

#

And to me its combination of boss tributes and cryo raising.

torpid imp
#

This is wildy different from anything else they got though. That’s why I think it’s such a good start.

stray ruin
#

To me cryo raising is just lazy - you dont need to maintain resources and it just happens for you.

stray ruin
torpid imp
#

Conquest was fibercraft with land bases. I didnt even bother to play.

stray ruin
torpid imp
#

It had the same fast paced style, with more administration needs.

stray ruin
#

Because thats what majority wanted

#

Compromises

#

Thats what it was

#

And I am very agraid that thats what this will be

torpid imp
#

There’s a wild difference between complete fibercraft, and boss tributes.

I really hope youre seeing that too.

stray ruin
#

This cluster will be less popular for the moment and how to fix it? More compromises towards fast paced.

torpid imp
#

Maybe, you wont know that, yet.

stray ruin
#

I am seeing that, but I also see the pattern

#

I have been around for years

#

Thats why I am frustrated, because I am very afraid it will end up like every other interesting idea

#

Compromised into general cluster setup

torpid imp
#

I bet, but you also sound quite negative. I believe in postivity, and postive feedback.

No reason to complain, rather giving feedback to improve.

stray ruin
#

I have been positive in the past, never worked

torpid imp
#

Negativity wont help either!

stray ruin
#

But maybe you will succeed with your approach this time

torpid imp
#

Hopefully!

stray ruin
#

Its not the negativity, its about being loud.

#

And as I said its just trying different approach for me, nothing else.

worthy current
# stray ruin Because what majority wants is already here

Bro try to suggest something and have a level headed discussion with ppl to convince them, what u said abt the bosses I lowk agreed when u said it like a normal person. It lowk looks like ur having a panic attack writing this tho, just chill out and keep suggesting stuff without whining.

nocturne niche
#

My suggestion. Again. No cryo breeding. Artefacts in drops, maybe ab alpha stuff in drops on ab. But rare. Nanny, if not, 1 time imprint. No starter kits. Reduce ele in osds,maybe raise it in bosses ,reduce saddle and flak caps. Vanilla drops. The usual dino bans for 72h

autumn drift

No props and no cryo raising will be hard with lower Dino cap

Haven’t played since ase so I wouldn’t know and when I did play it was all duped bps anyway so idk what official loot pool flak is either tbh.

crude minnow
#

Official tek is better than EA tek currently too

#

Will be may more people in capped suits

worthy current
#

Yeah no dead zone tho, not many ppl can craft em

crude minnow
#

Astra is just as good

#

If not slightly worse

#

Oh and, we make most of lava island no build 🙂 no more turret PvP

worthy current
#

Astra better imo but gonna be comped like crazy.

worthy current
#

Since it’ll be main source of ele. All the tps gonna be gone now?

crude minnow
#

Yeah you can’t really build at all near any spawns

With our recent policy change on punishments for owt we are seeing a decrease in reports about them aswell so thats good

I might

worthy current
#

Oh he dmed me, he already muted 😂

#

Wonder why

worthy current
#

Btw is there a viable alternative for people without astraeos to farm ele? I have it but just curious for others. Might be lil cooked with no dead zone for lot of ppl without dlc.

crude minnow

not the manner

torpid imp

I really don't know what you mean, sorry

forest acorn

youll see just people are gonna be annoyed fast its like playing official gang

knotty osprey

those people have 4 other clusters to play no?

the weekend u almost have the same boost (almost) dont get me wrong

This has been voted and suggested since the 16th of january. I really don't think your opinion matter at this moment

Will there be Deazone on the 4man cause without it its kinda boring

#

There is no spot then where you can come to pvp for loot or fun

chrome sphinx
#

From where do you know

#

@cyan swallow

#

Why you want to disable it?Its just a place to pvp and make easier veins and osds

torpid imp

astra lava island is the new deadzone on 4 man

You have 10fps there cause of lava and smoke

so this way it gets it out of their system

Fair enough

true maybe a pool in announcements

cyan swallow

Nah let it ride day 1

vagrant gazelle
#

with a reminder what default loot looks like

cyan swallow
#

Make them feel the consequences of their decision

stray ruin
#

Guys, yes everyone here is used to what is on every other cluster and the point of this cluster is to have something else

#

Is having harder time to get good bps and stuff automatically bad?

cyan swallow
#

Not necessarily just saying people will probably bitch about it

stray ruin
#

Yes

#

Because everyone wants all the freebies they can get

vagrant gazelle
#

cant wait for those cave drops (with normal % dmg)

#

cant wait for my full hide sets xd

cyan swallow
#

W drops

#

The pistol low key would go hard tho

vagrant gazelle
#

yes and no xd

#

day 1 yes every other day no xd

chrome sphinx
#

Roonie can you make some votes for everyone so you can see the majority for the server settings would be was easier then reading 500 messages in Suggestions

#

And maybe mention everythin in a announcement tdy or early tmr to get a little overview for the settings

torpid imp
#

To be honest, getting full flak 2k dura is super easy on offical loot

#

just fyi

#

1 ice queen and a helicoprion.

crude minnow
#

People are too worried about the official loot pool

#

It’s not bad, has very good items just a lot of junk

#

It has better flak and tek as a higher rate that ea does currently too

torpid imp
#

Yep - it has more of a gambling feel to it.

#

You can get a stone hatchet or 2k dura chest bp

stray ruin
#

But again, is that a bad thing?

#

Some things being more rare, so its not enough to just run some drops several times to be set for wipe?

zenith wing
#

Agreed official loot will be fun to get something good, instead of just guaranteed. Lf capped cloth set

torpid imp
#

I’m all for offical loot!

stray ruin
#

I will say again, you boys just want your freebies and ideally same config every single wipe, with some minor twists, so you can replay it over and over. Give this a chance and also boys, not everyone has to play every cluster.

torpid imp
#

It’s especially juicy when finding indiustrial forge and grinder in the same red drop

knotty osprey
#

Oh noo, why are we being punished for being unknowledgable

#

So weird how ark is actually supposed to have a skill/knowledge gap right?

#

The fun part is that it’s unironically easier to get flak bps on official than eliteark

chrome sphinx
torpid imp
#

I did absolutely not

#

sounds like the standard fibercraft 10x

#

I bet it's infinite weight, arkomatic ect?

chrome sphinx
#

Yeah it is I guess the third most populated cluster on asa

storm phoenix
chrome sphinx
storm phoenix
#

and that was the first thing to pop up

torpid imp

oh only 10k per level then

Not slower than this cluster though 🙂

Arkomatic,cs etc

torpid imp
#

It's not all about harvesting rates, mister

knotty osprey
#

Official cavedrops in the right caves are 1k+ dura bps frequentlt

#

Osds are kinda meh in comparison

storm phoenix
#

add library back in
add ARB blueprints to loottable somewhere, either shop, rockwell, osds, etc.

torpid imp
#

you find them in drops

storm phoenix
#

id rather just do rockwell 6 times

knotty osprey
#

Line up 20 fabs

torpid imp
#

lmao

knotty osprey
#

Aint worse than that

storm phoenix
knotty osprey
#

Let the people who wanna scale scale

chrome sphinx
#

It is if your are writing about indi forge is big…I farm you 100 indis day 1

knotty osprey
#

Never had any need for more than 30 fabs without bps on any cluster ever

torpid imp
#

yeah, i just mean it's satisfying getting an indi forge in a red drop day 1

storm phoenix
#

either way u will need 50 fabs, but arb blootprints is nice

chrome sphinx
#

Yeah we need libary back why it got disabled?

knotty osprey
#

99% of the arb u get from raiding regarldess

#

Defo nice ti have yeah

storm phoenix
#

u need arb to raid, atleast like 4 dedis for any good tribe

#

depending on size of the base

knotty osprey
#

This is eliteark, not mesa or smalls

storm phoenix
knotty osprey
#

Point not taken?

storm phoenix
#

mesa is a dead server and smalls has inf loot

#

i could make 40 dedis of arb in a day on smalls

knotty osprey
#

Mesa is the only unofficial on asa/ase along with inx that is competetive

chrome sphinx
knotty osprey
#

Callin it dead is mad

storm phoenix
storm phoenix
#

and ase is irrelevant

chrome sphinx

but any built tribe can do that

#

thats the point

knotty osprey
#

Same thing was with mts

storm phoenix
chrome sphinx
storm phoenix
knotty osprey
#

Mesas last years peak was 1800+on wipe

storm phoenix
chrome sphinx
#

Not Asa

knotty osprey
#

Ase trends are 99.99% relatable to asa

#

Omly difference is that way less good players play asa than ase, even noe

storm phoenix
knotty osprey
#

Yet very comparable

storm phoenix
#

where does ase have a skill tree?

knotty osprey
#

The skill tree and the few different tames are an insanely large factor as to why a server has less pop retention

#

You’re avsolutely correct

mystic ivy
#

cant wait to run an osd to wave 200 on 4man

#

full set of 2000 dura flak day 1

crude minnow
#

Yeah I read in a suggestion that event flak needed to be limited to 750 cause it’s offical loot pool lol

#

People don’t realize how op the flak is about to be

mystic ivy
#

they think we will all ahvw 600 dura flak

crude minnow
#

Yeah lol

#

They don’t realize how much good flak and tek is available on official

mystic ivy
#

shits gonna go crazy cant wait for the complaints in suggestions to cap flak for 4man lol

storm phoenix
#

there r no limits on it lol

crude minnow
#

Yeah and people were saying we needed to limit events to 45 stat tames and 750 flak, I think a lot of people havent played on official loot table

If you have ever played rust it’s kinda like that, lots of shit but when it’s not shit it’s a W pull

mystic ivy
#

do dino stats change i thought they dstay the same

crude minnow
#

Yeah but you can easily tame a 45 stat dino

we had test server up for 5 days

knotty osprey

You're telling me, with vanilla smelting and no starterkits that people had spent 24k ingots+++ on jsut the heavies themselves 4 hours into wipe

#

we had 50 forges + 8 indis cooking and even then 30+ heavies would be a reach

#

been enjoying the server a lot, very impressed by it. But just felt a bit odd finding a simple base with a couple of heavies, then go back to get the tames and the boom only to return to unironically 30-40 heavies spammed everywhere in the span of 30 minutes

honestly 4 man has been awesome, even with not being able to transfer its been fun

Cluster just not balanced at all. 10x is good but compared to the xp gain and breeding time it’s shit. A giga needs 19 hours to finish raising. Also takes hella long to clone by the time any1 even has tames to go raid the cluster even already dead or they’ll sit in a broken ass cave. Also the loot pool is way to bad getting hide armor out red cave drops is hard. But lootboxes give flak bps

The raising is the problem people quit before we can raise the shot to raid

yeah noone could play game first day pretty much

#

rates are not an issue at all

#

levels on dios are bit of an issue tho

flint idol
#

If ppl wanna make Dino xp slightly higher sure, but wiping 2 beginner a day after the server also don’t help and the fact that Xavis wiped the day after. Might as well have a massive Saturday wipe at 11, or 1 instead of Friday

#

Andy actually have a lot of ppl praising the rates there literally like 4 of the same ppl complaining everyone has enjoyed the change of pace. It was a rough launch no doubt but on another weekend with no wild card issues it’ll certainly be way better

rough launches are the funnest launches, dig through the trenches boys!!!!
