I agree with you on the fact that ark is dying. My server that I have been playing on official the last year has been unscathed until some tribe from Brazil came in and said "we wipe whoever isn't Portuguese" and that's exactly what they did as they brought in rock golems and dragons and thousands of C4 and rockets... I have already uninstalled the game because they are just camping every single spawn and build around the spawn points to where you just die... that is the only server I played on and my level 100 character has basically gone to waste. My Dino's killed, all because the ark devs made it possible. Why would they do this in their right mind. Most will just say "git Gud kid, if you get rekt, you get rekt, stop betching" well how about you have a years worth of progress taken away by a 40 man tribe at 1am when you are just solo..
red i predator people mostly just block ones near spawns obilisk or their bases there's a ton still out in the open they never block so they still can do it like he said in the video you need to be able to spare the resources and not a lot of servers can spare the resources to cover 100% of their server.
Gotenix When you transfer servers you spawn at the spawn points, if it wasn’t for the building limit I would recommend using behemoth gates to block the beaches on the island, 4 other maps it’s a bit more different.
I hate this. I understand it helps a server from getting wiped, but it also keeps people from playing the game normally. Me and my friends played through starting level 1 and we couldn't hit any supply drops, couldn't leave with our levels.
my old server was very much like this. We helped new people out all the time and just blocked everything. We would get a few new guys come in saying "You guys are A-holes" but they soon got the idea of what was going on.
Robert Smith not being funny though but once you've built up on a server and bred and tamed everything what else is there to do but play pvp and go kill some shit
TheWoebegoneJackal yea...the crybaby above you sounds like a bitch getting annoyed about it lol most players in good servers know the drill and are down to block out the fucks
Dennis Thebodeau sorry but if people cheat and then they don’t let others do anything because they transferred in like 100 gigas then it may be whining from the victims, but that is what is making people hate the game. The mega tribes don’t care about us and only like to torture the noobs. You are obviously a salty mega tribe player who wants to discourage kids from having one of the funnest times of there life.
nooblets.com I know your concerns and fear, just the way I see it we need to try to work around this while staying within the boundaries of the guidelines like an alpha should. Sadly I do not see this feature leaving but maybe being more restricted. I would be very irritated if I wanted to move servers and see new faces only to be denied the right to use an in-game function by a tribe breaking the rules. The argument that it's going to happen anyway so might as well do it seems weak.
Banning 40% player base for blocking? ye i think not. Devs fucked up on this patch. Every server is getting blocked ore becommes a invasion resource hub after they killed the server. Its Rampent, friends reporting invasion cross realms. Alot of people i know has quit. Only the verry strongest can survive(be a super tribe of 80-100 ish people), if your not thene kiss your ass good bye ..Sooon :)
That’s why I play on a solo session where it’s me and my friends and honestly call me whatever you want but I’m just trying to enjoy the game without anyone trying to ruin it for me
I don't think you're right? I KNOW your're right!!! Everything you said has already happened to us twice and I've heard has happened elsewhere. Now our last base is empty and Chinese are trying to wipe out one of our ally's killing their animals. They tell you to get off this server if you try to come back. I think they kill off a server and then seed it with their own people planning on taking it over for their own use. Our people are just working people who enjoy the game and want to get along with others. We've spent countless hours playing only to be depressed at these huge tribes wiping out our bases. With all the work it takes to tame and all, the game seems useless to play at this point.
X7RM i see why ppl do it but then the alpha transfers wyverns in and doesnt let anyone else do it this also kills the game as you cant kill a tribe that has 10 whyverns when you have none particularly on primitive servers
Kimberly Custer true my tribe controls 3 servers of 100+ people so if one server gets attacked we can at least send 30 people to defend then max out there server and wipe them and not let any of them log in
problem with that competition, is solo players like myself get caught in between, and lose everything, then the tribes block off the airdrops and the obis, which ruin the game, and then when the servers alpha tribe is wiped the raiders move to other tribes, and then people star to leave the server, and the server dies.
This is completely fair. I love it. Wildcard needs to realize that PvE & PvP need to have separate balancing factors, *they cant have the same rules all around*. Thats just stupid they are 2 separate modes of play. What flies in PvE cant necessarily work in PvP. Transferring dinos is a *perfect* example. In PvE transferring Dino effects no one. They cant wreck the work that's been put in. its all for flaunting, farming mats, or just needing survivability. We all know its mainly to flaunt though because why not start from the bottom on all your servers and build up, just more bragging rights. While transferring dinos into a PvP server is downright irresponsible, thats eliminates the *entire concept of balance* for PvP. What was once a warzone becomes who can just transfer better dinos and destroy everything aka an extermination. Honestly I think every PvP server should be an extinction server. Its only fair in terms of balance because the more I think about it the more I realize that this kind of game cant have a balanced PvP. My point about transferring dinos remains valid though.
EpicBongZilla lol fuck Wildcard. Creating such an awesome game and fucking it with no lube. They remind me of the needy ass game designer on Grandma's Boy
It's something we must do and I was one of the victims of a 70 man raid, we can't be nice or else all the work we done is for nothing. This time I'm in another server and everyone is alliance to each other and working out asses off to protect ourselves from another raid. We build metal buildings with a door with the passcode with auto turrets protecting it. I never thought about the trip wire that's genius! Nooblets I watch your videos all the time giving great tips when I started out in ark keep it up and I will always supporting you!
I really wish WC would find some kind of fix to this issue. I saw their announcement for isolated server clusters, but that's not a real solution. Even if we all suddenly said we were willing to abandon countless hours of work on our current servers, those few clusters can't hold us all. Surely they must be aware that a great many servers are blocking the beacons and obelisks in defiance. I feel like we're all the poorer for it too. As a new player to a server that had a long standing population, I don't have the benefits they had. A good example comes to mind wherein I was asked what quality long neck I was using to try to tranq a Tapejara. I saw basic primitive. They laughed and said I should be using a mastercraft. Yes, of course. I would love to. Oh, wait.... I don't have access to beacons. Meanwhile other new players find the beacon restriction so harsh that they aren't willing to stick around on the server. This of course ties into the future of the server come release, if WC sticks to their statement about wiping server based on active population numbers.
It really sucks that people has to start doing this to prevent raiding. It was much more fun when transfer only meant that you can get your character with levels to server and no items or dinos. I really hope the devs realise this and remove it so people wont have to worry about being wiped by big tribes. If that happens, most of the multiplayer aspects disappear from the whole game. I mean yea you got private servers or unofficial but still. It's alot more fun when people can first time join the game and just go to multiplayer server to learn stuff or just casually play.
I have a hard time believing that the devs did this without any expectation or thought about the effects of it, so this has lead me to ponder a couple of theories as to why they did it this way: 1) Previously, the devs had floated the idea of resetting official servers before launch, which would lead to everyone on them having to start over. This, obviously, caused a backlash and the devs walked it back and said only small population servers could be subjected to wipes. By implementing these unlimited server transfers, they can empower alphas to do the server resets for them (by wiping everyone on a server), while maintaining plausible deniability. or 2) It's an underhanded way to drive more people into paying extra money to rent their own, unofficial servers. Of course, it's possible that they just truly made a dumbass mistake and will, eventually, correct it.
Thank u nooblets the biggest tribe on the pvp server has blocked all the Obelisks and there was a messenger that an alliance of 3 alpha tribes was coming to wipe the server they didn't get very far :)
Ark has made note to stop this, in some update building near an oblisk will be blocked... if you block an air drop it has a decompose timer, also Ark devs will ban you from the server
This is why I stick to single player, along with the fact that being a lone survivor provides more of a challenge. That, and I hate PvP enough as it was before this nonsense.
Nooblets you forgot one thing, with the new element resource coming from boss drops your gonna need at least 1 ob to be accessible other wise you miss all the cool stuff coming in the tek tier
It's a shame to see this. I agree with character transfers but Dino and item transfers are way too far. We used to spend our resources helping little tribes grow and now we have to use our resources to block off air drops and wipe little tribes so they don't blow up air drop blocks
Gillboy75 Just find a good server cluster most server clusters have atleast one or two popular maps, the one i currently play with has average 30-50 people online across the cluster
scrub? have u seen official servers i had to leave all my official server just because of this reason people join with wyvern armies etc so yeah call me a scrub idc
Devs don't give a fuck about the bigger tribes ruining their game for others, I've heard you can report people blocking drops/obs and they will get removed and possibly banned. May as well let Ark die until they actually give a shit.
0121itzswifty the devs do give a shit, i think each official server should be linked to a scorched earth server with the same number, so alpha tribes dont raid other servers using the transfer system
Its been said since The Center was released. A server should be linked to one of all the available maps. You can only move between those maps. That way you can only ruin 3 maps by being a dickshitfuck Chinese grefing Tribe.
Have you ever considered starting a server with other ark youtubers and maybe having a red vs blue type fight? Idk if you know enough but I just think maybe a server of youtubers would be really cool! Maybe like nerd parade, gt jack3d, partially royal etc. I think your viewers would love it and you could gain some subs 🙂
I haven't played for months, thought ill watch this vid to see how things are going. It's sad to see this server transfer wiping thing has happened since, it was such a great game before ):
***** Well that's just bullshit, there's no point in even adding a feature for server switching their characters when cunts are blocking it off. I'm a peaceful player that was going to return and switch servers because the one i'm on is just raped by assholes, guess i can't now
If you wish to blame someone, you can blame the devs for implementing this transfer system without any restrictions or limitations and forcing us into this position. As I said, if you want to transfer off of your server - and are truly peaceful - then find a server you want to transfer to, make a new character on that server, and then use that new character to make contact with the alpha(s) on that server and explain to them what your situation is. Most of us are not outright blocking people from transferring at all. On my server, we are doing what we can in order to minimize the risk of a bunch of assholes from coming on and wiping everyone out just for the shits and giggles of it all. To that end, we are controlling transfers to our server in order to protect our players. If someone wants to transfer to our server, then they must first meet with us, answer our questions, and then - if they pass the sniff test, so to speak - we will supervise their transfer. If they find this unacceptable, then we tell them that they are free to stay where they are or to find another server to transfer to.
***** Fair enough, i don't find the game fun unless i play official pvp, anything else feels like i'm cheating or playing a ' private server ' as such I don't know what it is, but yeah i've genuinely never raided anyone, i quit after we just started finishing off a metal base, we gathered enough for 2 - 3 turrets and then we got wiped, they just slaughtered everything we had for no reason at all, haven't played since
VT Gaming I've been wiped several times, so I understand the frustration that comes with that. I enjoy honest pvp. One of my alliance members was being raided while we they and we were online, so it turned into an epic battle and was so much fun. Everyone involved had a great time. But I see offline raiding as entirely different. I don't see how anyone can enjoy logging in to find all of their animals dead, their base in ruins, and all of their stuff gone. I also don't see how offline raiding someone is fun unless your idea of fun is just being a dick to others. I also don't like private servers because most of them just pump up resource gathering, xp gains, and reduce taming times to such a degree that, for me, it takes away any sense of challenge or accomplishment to the game. To me, its tantamount to using cheat codes. It took me awhile, but I eventually found a good server with a good alpha and several friendly tribes. In order to find a good server, I think you just have to explore several and investigate them. I think Nooblet has a video on his channel that offers so good pointers on how to find one and what to look for.
But what if there are people who just want to transfer a character to a new server? I think blocking supply drops will be quite an annoyance for people, especially for people who just want to get good stuff from them.
Jan PunkerXD I don't know if you understand. Let me explain again. What if they're are people who simply want to transfer a character to a new server, and doesn't want to raid everyone? And it's an annoyance for people who want to get supply drops, like for people who want to get high tier items.
as i said you can transfer a charactar you dont need the obi from the server you are going to and yea if you cant dl dinos at drops im against blocking them too. and for the player that wanna transfer from an blocked server they can just ask.
OG Brasi Actually they just wiped the alphas; they're old enemies. I'm solo. I've been spared for now, but I don't trust the new alphas. I'll be leaving soon.
Mandi G. Lol your server is ass. Had some trolls come to mine from yours. Only to go and inside raid some new tribes. We gladly put a vault on thier heads. RIP no more character. We already have people working on explosives on your server to blow those blocked drops.
Fragile is this really the best comment you could think of? oh look, this guy finds something nooblet could improve if he wanted to, lets compare him to an ant. Atleast I share information that could be of value like ants do. I don't know why you think my brain is small, vey complex even so that you will never be able to understand, I am not sure if you even understand your own brain. If my brain would be like an ant, I would also be telepathic and have a great memory. So I guess, thanks for the compliments on some parts, but I am sure that if you are not taller than me, your brain is probably smaller than mine is. Oh and get a bit of facts atleast about what you are insulting with.
devs will just make building near these not possible and i cant wait , even tho i dont play anymore i find it childish that ppl are blocking server transfer on OFFICAL servers which are NOT yours
They designed it this way and will soon loose a huge american/EU pbase due to the fact that the game styles of the asian players and eu/us players completely contracts. Asian don't play to build or tame only top wipe people out. EU/US play to tame and build. If you put in 1000 hrs for some group of 50 asian kids to come wipe it out in 2 hours cause they can overwelm the server.. not a good design
boonedfg they will only lose the whiny plebs like you ...the bulk is on private servers where this cant even happen lol soo w.e you know you could just shut up about asians just cuz they are better at games than you
You obviously did not understand anything I said instead choosing ad hominem as your defense to the argument. This has nothing to do with being better and more to do with play styles. It will unfortunately cause a lot of the EU/US players to either go private or be extremely aggressive and block spawns especially when you can log into a server with 40-50 guys and have absolutely nothing and wipe a SE server while the EU/US players are asleep and at work.
Instead of being able not get banned I will ask the alpha tribes to keep and eye on everyone and if they love too quickly we kill them off constantly. and instead of blocking the ob we will just get a bunch of carnos and anything that kills people in there with turrets added. I hate being constantly in fear of wyvern tryhards that spent $20 just to be "good" at a game and kill noobs and can't face someone their own size. I propose that you can only transfer items and Dino's to the map you played on such as Wyverns can only be transferred to another scorched earth map. I think that would be a great idea or just don't let items and Dino's be transferred. What's the point of constantly rebuilding because of people who want to control everything and destroy your base. I'm glad nooblets made this vid, all the hate is from trashy low lives that ruin the game for everyone. So in conclusion nooblets I support you for doing this and the devs should not ban anyone for doing this at all.
2000+ Hours in ark in now im officially done with this game.. I know i got my moneys worth and much more) Though I thought things would get better but the devs are doing too many drugs or something instead of making a better game.. A shame, ark had (and still have) potential... Just not sure if the devs have any:/ Been a good run
@@pilkers2 lol ok i see your point... What i was trying to say is that instead of fixing frame rate issues, multiplayer servers, hackers, underground glitching ect they rather seemed to be worring about Christmas, Easter, Valentines bullshit events no one asked for... Many of these problems are still in the game to this date 3 years later... But they rather want to push out expensive ass DLC thats essentially just a new map with a new dino on it...
nice idea, only the structures on the obelisks are times 6 damage like in caves we've build defense towers next to it to avoid people the get to the pedestra and on the airdrops we've placed vaults as you are doing in yr video
+hot cocoa nope the game is shit, only people with litteraly no lifes are able to play it normally. or people that have good relations with a huge tribe that plays 24/7
while now you shown the alpha tribes in my server how to keep us from leaving to a new server. they've ban together and block all the metal resource so there is no way we can put up a fight when they have all the resources and we have to build and hide everything over and over again
I hate to say the obvious, but blocking all the drops, obi's, and artifacts is only a delay tactic. A determined group will always send people ahead that will just farm materials to destroy the vaults and anything else blocking a drop. Then when no one is on the server, destroy the structure at a drop and import everything, I MEAN EVERYTHING, they need to get their base built, most likely in some glitch spot, and start going to town. First they'll raid the smaller tribes and add to their warchest of materials then go straight for the alphas (if they don't wipe them out first). Had it almost happen on the official server I play on. But the Alpha there has been wiping out anyone with questionable server and play history as soon as they join and they let noobs join the server, even refugees from other servers that have been wiped. Thank God. I like playing official pvp, but this whole server to server transfer with no restrictions is going to make Ark one big mosh pit.
kinda sad that such extreme measures are needed just to be able to play in peace although now you need to do something else on the air drops like psx/auto turrets or making a base with an open roof to keep the drop in
It's not about avoiding PvP. It's about being to play official at all. A lot of the tribes taking over servers kill off any new players to the servere and outright tell them they aren't welcome to play on it and place turrets and buildings around spawn points to kill new players automatically.
I understand your viewpoint, nooblets. however, I do hope you realize that the developers of the game have already stated that doing so is against the fair play rules of the game. And what you are doing and teaching other people to do on private servers is actually against our rules of gameplay set by the developing team. in other words people can see this video report you to the archives and then you can suffer extreme consequences. the developers already said they're trying to stop people from doing this, long before the whole incident which is going on now. " you cannot block Obelisk for airdrop spawn zones without allowing players a way to get out" . the same goes with spawn zones I completely agree with you that there are a lot of stupid people doing something very stupid, however I do understand a drastic actions such as this, but just understand that the right person just needs to report you, and then you're screwed.
Pretty sure blocking is only a PvE rule, whereas PvP it's allowed. Anyways even if they didn't allow this, enforcing it would be like setting their player base on fire.
So are raiders from other servers transfering all their dino's to the server your playing on to destroy everything you worked days if not weeks/months for in seconds
Tom B. That happens anyways by other players on pvp servers. Heck I left a pvp server because all my stuff got destroyed by a douche. This video is made by a person who probably has the strongest tribe on that server and doesnt want a stronger one taking him down like he has done to many others. On a Bightside this video will make ark more interesting because of tribe vs tribe civil wars over who controls the obelisks and drops.
they need to make it so maybe any tribe can only transfer one tame every so often and maybe put a cool down on character transfers like with the Dino's so people who actually want to transfer a server can do so over time but not just bring everything and try to wipe a server, out maybe when people transfer tames it send out a server message if more than one or two Dino's are transferred
NO they need to make it so you can only transfer characters. Moving Dinos and stuff is stupid All it takes is one Alpha bringing a Wyveren over to the Island or Center and they can wipe everything. Armored Plant X is worthless vs a Wyveren Breath (as is any Dino) (yes I know Plant X is not end game but it is used to pad other Defenses)
Lord Tulkus so maybe don't allow wyverns and other end game tames but allow farming Dino's because getting anything decent tamed takes way too long without kibble if you're solo and taming a million Dino's for eggs to make kibble takes too long without at least 3 players who no life or a lot of casual players..
It works, this a good way to end trolls on ur server especially with esp n aim bot this is perfect u can finally catch ur foe and and cage him or her n this always ends it with trolls, ur server now safe for u to play
Corey Westwell It's not fun if you just boil it down to "kill people". The goal is to survive, build, have awesome adventures! It's a beautiful game at heart but it's dead to me now. It's not fair for players that aren't part of a mega tribe to buy the game and not be able to play on public servers. I have a medium sized tribe including people I know irl and people that taught me the game when I got it. Within 2 weeks time we have moved 3 servers because the mega tribes are taking advantage of the patch and literally taking servers. No tribe should own a public server. Soon the fan base will die out and the mega tribes will just be sitting there playing pve.
+will chambers well ark suggests it's a survival game but once you build up on either the island or the center it really looses its survival element, scorched did combat that which is fun! You go do all those things on pve and not have to worry so much can about being raided
+Captain Rednek plus with all the obelisks and drops blocked, mainly the drops how are the lower level players or fresh spawns supposed to progress? They simple can't without trading a stupid amount of resources to whatever tribe, cause you ain't gonna let go of a MC longneck BP without good payment, what are people to do? Live off of primitive stuff nah? I play on two official servers on Xbox, neither of those servers have been blocking drops or obelisks and they are probably two of the more active servers on Xbox
I've been curious about playing ARK since it first released but just couldn't bring myself to buy into it. With steams winter sale coming up I decided to look into it and... wow... Not sure I want to play anymore. Single player perhaps, but if there are legions of asswipes moving between servers and just destroying things, that doesn't exactly sound fun to me.
This highlights an integral problem with PvP in ark in general: if you don't have the largest Alpha tribe on the block, you are subjected to the threat of being pre-emptively wiped on their whims. The "meta" is simply to have a larger tribe, rather than trying to make sure that small tribes fight other small tribes, and large ones fight large ones. The only time PvP in ark is fun is when the playing field is somewhat fair, and that means that 95% of the PvP isnt fun. The other is 15% griefing and 80% discouraging people from griefing you. The difference between the amount of time it takes to build, as well as scope of structures desired, vs the speed with which you can destroy structures also comes into sharp relief, When your week/months-long build gets destroyed in a matter of minutes. It's a good game: but the design, meta and balance of interacting with other tribes needs a massive overhaul. The method of 'land claiming' ie. how much you can build vs the size of your tribe also needs to be looked at thoroughly: as curtailing this would benefit both PvP and PvE servers immensely. There needs to be more incentive/disincentive built into the PvP system, to encourage the gameplay to evolve into fights that are fun, while de-emphasising the "dont fight unless you're going to wipe them" mentality. More fights with less drastic consequences that encourage you to quit the game if you lose.
With this update I think its good if use correctly that's why I only like pvp on private servers and play pve on official because on pve official u can have tribe wars which is basically like a friendly pvp sort of deal that's my opinion but yes I do agree that people shouldn't be dicks and wipe people just an ass hole move
i have a solution play on a private pvp server with an admin not much a 100 man server raiding party can do to an admin with god mode turned on and infinite ammo or the ability to kick/ban players u can get a 35 man server for roughly 17 bucks a month but as always interesting vid keep it up
This is sad, I've put well over 1k hours into this game and I used to love it. I've taken a break from the game since around July and the way it's heading is just... wow..
While blocking drops and obs is a dirty move it has become a necessity for servers to stop giant raiding parties from flooding the server and wiping out all the tribe bases while keeping others from joining while they raid
I like the idea but what if u want to transfer or collect items from it or if u want to fight a boss and removing would be to costly for most ppl to remove vaults to access it when u only get around half the amount of recourses back when removing it so it's a bit of a 50 50 what u want coz I like getting the drops n ppl blocked them it would be annoying coz sometimes they hold good stuff
I get the reasoning... but if I saw this I'd just assume it's an unfriendly server and not bother. What's the devs contact info? Clearly what's needed is a good hounding for them to change it from free transfer to "Do you wish to allow transfers? Yes/No?" or even allow servers to set limits. One Dino, 100 wood, 100 meat, no metal for example.
I can appreciate the ability to transfer dinos and resources between servers but I can also see the political problem of mega tribes. If the devs are determined to allow import/export then they could simply disallow building around obilisks and make supply drops random. Though I think 3 obilisks for a maps the size of ark is rather limited. Maybe something more like 5 - 7 would be more reasonable, one for each major zone. Obis are not just used to transfer between servers remember, they are also used for dino transfer between zones within the map. I think there needs to be a resource cap or some kind of anti trust feature for tribes. That or some kind of feature to create competition. Say an experience boost for creating and maintaining a tribe which is largely composed of low level members and dinos but tapers off as the resources, dinos, and member level/member count increases. In short your "tribe level" increases = tribe bonuses decreases. Even if a mega tribe recruited tons of low level players it wouldn't get the bonuses a full low level tribe would. This would encourage more new tribe creation. But the this of course is all hypothetical....
Just wanted to say: your loyalty, both to the game itself, as well as the general quality of life for players, is inspiring.
I agree with you on the fact that ark is dying. My server that I have been playing on official the last year has been unscathed until some tribe from Brazil came in and said "we wipe whoever isn't Portuguese" and that's exactly what they did as they brought in rock golems and dragons and thousands of C4 and rockets... I have already uninstalled the game because they are just camping every single spawn and build around the spawn points to where you just die... that is the only server I played on and my level 100 character has basically gone to waste. My Dino's killed, all because the ark devs made it possible. Why would they do this in their right mind. Most will just say "git Gud kid, if you get rekt, you get rekt, stop betching" well how about you have a years worth of progress taken away by a 40 man tribe at 1am when you are just solo..
lol
Esteban Crolla nigga aint no damn lol this shit is sad
If you ever want to play again just shout i have a new server with no downloads or uploads set.
watch the devs now change the air drop spawns to random
red i predator Yep. Their still gonna find a way to fuck up official servers.
red i predator people mostly just block ones near spawns obilisk or their bases there's a ton still out in the open they never block so they still can do it like he said in the video you need to be able to spare the resources and not a lot of servers can spare the resources to cover 100% of their server.
OG Brasi How is that fucking it up ?
Gotenix When you transfer servers you spawn at the spawn points, if it wasn’t for the building limit I would recommend using behemoth gates to block the beaches on the island, 4 other maps it’s a bit more different.
red i predator or make it so you can't build realy close to the obi's
I hate this. I understand it helps a server from getting wiped, but it also keeps people from playing the game normally. Me and my friends played through starting level 1 and we couldn't hit any supply drops, couldn't leave with our levels.
TheKYRw I'd highly recommend moving to a private sever if your new.
TheKYRw try a good unofficial server
If you find a server like this, chances are that someone will be willing to work with you to help you out if you seem to be good people.
my old server was very much like this. We helped new people out all the time and just blocked everything. We would get a few new guys come in saying "You guys are A-holes" but they soon got the idea of what was going on.
Then why not just join a PVE server.
These raiding tribes are like the reapers from mass effect trying to wipe out everything.........thats ok though , nooblets will keep us safe lol
hes so pro
Robert Smith not on xbox, there are alpha tribes on every server
Robert Smith not being funny though but once you've built up on a server and bred and tamed everything what else is there to do but play pvp and go kill some shit
Robert Smith actually really not you can use a drop to transfer everything so his information is completely wrong but it's a great video
Nope Bi He shows blocking off drops in the video.
I love reading the comments, its so obvious when someone is part of a mega tribe thats raiding other servers.
Or just plain stupid.
TheWoebegoneJackal yea...the crybaby above you sounds like a bitch getting annoyed about it lol most players in good servers know the drill and are down to block out the fucks
TheWoebegoneJackal. yep
TheWoebegoneJackal more like it's obvious to see which people can't handle PvP and get pissy when they lose.
Dennis Thebodeau sorry but if people cheat and then they don’t let others do anything because they transferred in like 100 gigas then it may be whining from the victims, but that is what is making people hate the game. The mega tribes don’t care about us and only like to torture the noobs. You are obviously a salty mega tribe player who wants to discourage kids from having one of the funnest times of there life.
Beautiful to see gamers stepping in when devs fucks up. Keep up the great work steve. You make the game so much more enjoyable for so many of us.
Nooblets should be part of the development team, with your input on the game Ark can be a fun game again.
Great video, its sad that it has come to this but necessary none the less, keep up the great work
Nooblets you are by far the best ark channel there is, I just discovered your channel a couple days ago and I've already watched almost 20 videos!
Does anyone else realize you can be banned for this blocking an obelisk is breaking the rules listed in the game section
We are all going to get wiped and lose everything anyway, then most will just stop playing
nooblets.com I know your concerns and fear, just the way I see it we need to try to work around this while staying within the boundaries of the guidelines like an alpha should. Sadly I do not see this feature leaving but maybe being more restricted. I would be very irritated if I wanted to move servers and see new faces only to be denied the right to use an in-game function by a tribe breaking the rules. The argument that it's going to happen anyway so might as well do it seems weak.
The devs do not care. we reported some guy on official server for blocking one and the devs replied with they cant do anything.
Michael Bass ya but people don't want those bases wiped
Banning 40% player base for blocking? ye i think not. Devs fucked up on this patch. Every server is getting blocked ore becommes a invasion resource hub after they killed the server. Its Rampent, friends reporting invasion cross realms. Alot of people i know has quit. Only the verry strongest can survive(be a super tribe of 80-100 ish people), if your not thene kiss your ass good bye ..Sooon :)
That’s why I play on a solo session where it’s me and my friends and honestly call me whatever you want but I’m just trying to enjoy the game without anyone trying to ruin it for me
I don't think you're right? I KNOW your're right!!! Everything you said has already happened to us twice and I've heard has happened elsewhere. Now our last base is empty and Chinese are trying to wipe out one of our ally's killing their animals. They tell you to get off this server if you try to come back. I think they kill off a server and then seed it with their own people planning on taking it over for their own use. Our people are just working people who enjoy the game and want to get along with others. We've spent countless hours playing only to be depressed at these huge tribes wiping out our bases. With all the work it takes to tame and all, the game seems useless to play at this point.
Hammett & Clark Family Videos & Pictures & More dude if you tame about 60 to 120 dimorphs you can take out any person who transfer's wyverns
Some people's computers can't handle 60-120 dimorphs flying around tho....
Oh no... sounds like you ran into PvP on a PvP server you dumb ass!
I thoroughly, THOROUGHLY enjoy the alpha tribes now having to deal with competition.
X7RM i see why ppl do it but then the alpha transfers wyverns in and doesnt let anyone else do it
this also kills the game as you cant kill a tribe that has 10 whyverns when you have none
particularly on primitive servers
Kimberly Custer true my tribe controls 3 servers of 100+ people so if one server gets attacked we can at least send 30 people to defend then max out there server and wipe them and not let any of them log in
John go fuck yourself
You are what ruin the game
problem with that competition, is solo players like myself get caught in between, and lose everything, then the tribes block off the airdrops and the obis, which ruin the game, and then when the servers alpha tribe is wiped the raiders move to other tribes, and then people star to leave the server, and the server dies.
This is completely fair. I love it. Wildcard needs to realize that PvE & PvP need to have separate balancing factors, *they cant have the same rules all around*. Thats just stupid they are 2 separate modes of play. What flies in PvE cant necessarily work in PvP. Transferring dinos is a *perfect* example. In PvE transferring Dino effects no one. They cant wreck the work that's been put in. its all for flaunting, farming mats, or just needing survivability. We all know its mainly to flaunt though because why not start from the bottom on all your servers and build up, just more bragging rights. While transferring dinos into a PvP server is downright irresponsible, thats eliminates the *entire concept of balance* for PvP. What was once a warzone becomes who can just transfer better dinos and destroy everything aka an extermination. Honestly I think every PvP server should be an extinction server. Its only fair in terms of balance because the more I think about it the more I realize that this kind of game cant have a balanced PvP. My point about transferring dinos remains valid though.
EpicBongZilla lol fuck Wildcard. Creating such an awesome game and fucking it with no lube. They remind me of the needy ass game designer on Grandma's Boy
Lol you mean JP. "I hate your face" *in a robot voice*
EpicBongZilla I couldn't agree more my friend make ark great again ( bring back fucking battle tames)
EpicBongZilla no I work way to hard for our base
No one said you didn't.
It's something we must do and I was one of the victims of a 70 man raid, we can't be nice or else all the work we done is for nothing. This time I'm in another server and everyone is alliance to each other and working out asses off to protect ourselves from another raid. We build metal buildings with a door with the passcode with auto turrets protecting it. I never thought about the trip wire that's genius! Nooblets I watch your videos all the time giving great tips when I started out in ark keep it up and I will always supporting you!
I really wish WC would find some kind of fix to this issue. I saw their announcement for isolated server clusters, but that's not a real solution. Even if we all suddenly said we were willing to abandon countless hours of work on our current servers, those few clusters can't hold us all. Surely they must be aware that a great many servers are blocking the beacons and obelisks in defiance. I feel like we're all the poorer for it too. As a new player to a server that had a long standing population, I don't have the benefits they had. A good example comes to mind wherein I was asked what quality long neck I was using to try to tranq a Tapejara. I saw basic primitive. They laughed and said I should be using a mastercraft. Yes, of course. I would love to. Oh, wait.... I don't have access to beacons. Meanwhile other new players find the beacon restriction so harsh that they aren't willing to stick around on the server. This of course ties into the future of the server come release, if WC sticks to their statement about wiping server based on active population numbers.
I did this to the obelisks in the server I play with my friends,and wouldn't you know, someone tried to get in to try and raid us. Thanks nooblets!
It really sucks that people has to start doing this to prevent raiding. It was much more fun when transfer only meant that you can get your character with levels to server and no items or dinos. I really hope the devs realise this and remove it so people wont have to worry about being wiped by big tribes. If that happens, most of the multiplayer aspects disappear from the whole game. I mean yea you got private servers or unofficial but still. It's alot more fun when people can first time join the game and just go to multiplayer server to learn stuff or just casually play.
They'll never stop, and that's all there is to it.
if you can do a video where an obi or drop is attacked
I have a hard time believing that the devs did this without any expectation or thought about the effects of it, so this has lead me to ponder a couple of theories as to why they did it this way:
1) Previously, the devs had floated the idea of resetting official servers before launch, which would lead to everyone on them having to start over. This, obviously, caused a backlash and the devs walked it back and said only small population servers could be subjected to wipes. By implementing these unlimited server transfers, they can empower alphas to do the server resets for them (by wiping everyone on a server), while maintaining plausible deniability.
or
2) It's an underhanded way to drive more people into paying extra money to rent their own, unofficial servers.
Of course, it's possible that they just truly made a dumbass mistake and will, eventually, correct it.
Thank u nooblets the biggest tribe on the pvp server has blocked all the Obelisks and there was a messenger that an alliance of 3 alpha tribes was coming to wipe the server they didn't get very far :)
The devs need to address this issue of transfers asap. In the meantime use a your brain and move to unofficial they are better anyway.
They wont do they make money off people buying unofficial servers.
@@honeybadger9425 A bit late honey badger They addressed it via ini scripts restricting what can be transferred on a server by server basis
@@quantumconciousscorner2911 On official servers? I know unofficial can edit ini scripts or block downloads and uploads all together.
Love your vids I play PvP some of your vids are a big help , all the Alpha tribe s are helping on my server we have held off 3 attacks so far 😓
I for one am not looking forward to losing thousands of hours of gaming 😤
This has just help as we are at war and play on a cross cluster Tks nooblets 👍
can you transfer dinosaurs from scorched-earth to the original Survival Island?
Cody Mcneill yes
Good video, I run my own server on Xbox so I don't have to worry about this. Great video still and hopefully the devs will fix this problem!
Vindicator 51 hi mate what rates you running? 😊
Vindicator 51 whats the server name? im looking for a new one to join.
Vindicator 51 Server name?
Vindicator 51 this is for people who play on official servers
Dragonfly's Gamer ....hence why he says in the very first sentence "I don't have to worry about this"
jfc lol....people
I think this is the actual "death of ark"
Ark has made note to stop this, in some update building near an oblisk will be blocked... if you block an air drop it has a decompose timer, also Ark devs will ban you from the server
This is why I stick to single player, along with the fact that being a lone survivor provides more of a challenge. That, and I hate PvP enough as it was before this nonsense.
how is single player more of a challenge ? lmao that doesn't make any sense whatsoever
Nooblets you forgot one thing, with the new element resource coming from boss drops your gonna need at least 1 ob to be accessible other wise you miss all the cool stuff coming in the tek tier
Riddlla Gaming tek tier is going to be the death of Ark
Careful with this video, Steve. According to the terms of use you can be permanently banned from all official servers by blocking obelisks or drops.
John Whitesel lol reddit has a report where sanguine said they cannot do anything about it. fucking wildcard
I just like his videos a lot and want to make sure he keeps them coming.
steve from back then would have a stroke if he saw pvp today.
Fr lol
It's a shame to see this. I agree with character transfers but Dino and item transfers are way too far. We used to spend our resources helping little tribes grow and now we have to use our resources to block off air drops and wipe little tribes so they don't blow up air drop blocks
Videos like these help the mega tribes near me block my air drops
Easy fix : don't play official and configure your INI so dino/stuff transfer is disable. You can all thank me later ^^
Gillboy75 Just find a good server cluster most server clusters have atleast one or two popular maps, the one i currently play with has average 30-50 people online across the cluster
n this is y i play player dedicated servers
Truly Honest haha scrub
scrub? have u seen official servers i had to leave all my official server just because of this reason people join with wyvern armies etc so yeah call me a scrub idc
Truly Honest official servers are for the big boys. If your on xbox I'd be willing to show you server 220
say that after your locked out of your server for 5hours and cant log on.
Douglas Jackson connect troubles that's ok just go play cod were lag=god hood
Devs don't give a fuck about the bigger tribes ruining their game for others, I've heard you can report people blocking drops/obs and they will get removed and possibly banned. May as well let Ark die until they actually give a shit.
0121itzswifty the devs do give a shit, i think each official server should be linked to a scorched earth server with the same number, so alpha tribes dont raid other servers using the transfer system
that's actually a great idea
Dragonfly's Gamer
Dude!! That's a great idea! Like The Nether or The End from minecraft. Excellent idea!
Its been said since The Center was released. A server should be linked to one of all the available maps. You can only move between those maps. That way you can only ruin 3 maps by being a dickshitfuck Chinese grefing Tribe.
Have you ever considered starting a server with other ark youtubers and maybe having a red vs blue type fight? Idk if you know enough but I just think maybe a server of youtubers would be really cool! Maybe like nerd parade, gt jack3d, partially royal etc. I think your viewers would love it and you could gain some subs 🙂
But then I can't leave
Bidoof Didoof yea u can, just destroy it lmao
I hate this
I can never leave a server bc everyone is doing this
I haven't played for months, thought ill watch this vid to see how things are going. It's sad to see this server transfer wiping thing has happened since, it was such a great game before ):
Gabrielle Flynn unofficial still is, this kind of shit isn't happening bc the admins can say wich servers are clustered
So what if friendly players want to join servers?
They'll either have to create a new character or they'll have to convince the alpha(s) that they are not part of a raiding party.
***** Well that's just bullshit, there's no point in even adding a feature for server switching their characters when cunts are blocking it off.
I'm a peaceful player that was going to return and switch servers because the one i'm on is just raped by assholes, guess i can't now
If you wish to blame someone, you can blame the devs for implementing this transfer system without any restrictions or limitations and forcing us into this position.
As I said, if you want to transfer off of your server - and are truly peaceful - then find a server you want to transfer to, make a new character on that server, and then use that new character to make contact with the alpha(s) on that server and explain to them what your situation is.
Most of us are not outright blocking people from transferring at all. On my server, we are doing what we can in order to minimize the risk of a bunch of assholes from coming on and wiping everyone out just for the shits and giggles of it all. To that end, we are controlling transfers to our server in order to protect our players. If someone wants to transfer to our server, then they must first meet with us, answer our questions, and then - if they pass the sniff test, so to speak - we will supervise their transfer.
If they find this unacceptable, then we tell them that they are free to stay where they are or to find another server to transfer to.
***** Fair enough, i don't find the game fun unless i play official pvp, anything else feels like i'm cheating or playing a ' private server ' as such
I don't know what it is, but yeah i've genuinely never raided anyone, i quit after we just started finishing off a metal base, we gathered enough for 2 - 3 turrets and then we got wiped, they just slaughtered everything we had for no reason at all, haven't played since
VT Gaming
I've been wiped several times, so I understand the frustration that comes with that.
I enjoy honest pvp. One of my alliance members was being raided while we they and we were online, so it turned into an epic battle and was so much fun. Everyone involved had a great time.
But I see offline raiding as entirely different. I don't see how anyone can enjoy logging in to find all of their animals dead, their base in ruins, and all of their stuff gone. I also don't see how offline raiding someone is fun unless your idea of fun is just being a dick to others.
I also don't like private servers because most of them just pump up resource gathering, xp gains, and reduce taming times to such a degree that, for me, it takes away any sense of challenge or accomplishment to the game. To me, its tantamount to using cheat codes.
It took me awhile, but I eventually found a good server with a good alpha and several friendly tribes.
In order to find a good server, I think you just have to explore several and investigate them. I think Nooblet has a video on his channel that offers so good pointers on how to find one and what to look for.
Im just one soldier ally of an Alpha Tribe covering red obelisk in Xbox One. I feel proud that no one will wipe the integrity of the servers.
But what if there are people who just want to transfer a character to a new server? I think blocking supply drops will be quite an annoyance for people, especially for people who just want to get good stuff from them.
you dont need the new servers obi to transfer a charactar. blocking the obi is just so they cant dl dinos and go back again.
Jan PunkerXD But you can transfer characters with supply drops.
but you cant dl dinos there? if so okay he can go back so what
Jan PunkerXD I don't know if you understand. Let me explain again. What if they're are people who simply want to transfer a character to a new server, and doesn't want to raid everyone? And it's an annoyance for people who want to get supply drops, like for people who want to get high tier items.
as i said you can transfer a charactar you dont need the obi from the server you are going to and yea if you cant dl dinos at drops im against blocking them too. and for the player that wanna transfer from an blocked server they can just ask.
well this will work on official servers mostly. But for private servers. Server Owners can just disable downloading of dinos and characters
This video is two days to late for me :/
A Potato RIP M8?
OG Brasi Actually they just wiped the alphas; they're old enemies. I'm solo. I've been spared for now, but I don't trust the new alphas. I'll be leaving soon.
A Potato Dang. Better hide your dodos!
A Potato you better hide your dodos, hide your raptors cause we gon find you
Sounds like you ran into PvP in a PvP server, ya dumb ass
I say you should be able to choose whether or not you allow transferring in a server ark seems really fun I've never played it lol
Holy shit, good luck to these "alphas" breaking these vaults xD
Steve thanks for inspiring me and my friends with your tips and tricks to help us become the proud alphas of Xbox pvp official server 14
Mandi G. I'm on xbox pvp 15
Mandi G. I played on server 14 for a while
Mandi G. Lol your server is ass. Had some trolls come to mine from yours. Only to go and inside raid some new tribes. We gladly put a vault on thier heads. RIP no more character.
We already have people working on explosives on your server to blow those blocked drops.
David Pruitt that's cuz we ran em from ours

hey im gonna be playing ark on christmas day im In euw is there any friendly servers for a noobie like me?
Downsey play pve until you feel you're ready to move to a pvp server
Ok thanks
nooblets.com Do you know when Ark does come for PS4 and if scorched earth is coming with the earth?
Selhatin Deniz PS4 ark should come out digitally in december according to a dev stream
In a rush to defend you can throw up several pillars directly under drops to keep then from getting grabbed without a grapple or flyer
lol I got a nooblets troll pretending to be you on my rollover000 server and I'm acting like a believe him lol
thanks nooblets you tips saved me
"make sure they are both the same", 20,7 - 20,9 & 20,7 - 40,9 aren't the same XD
Cluster4SKL it was an example he said 😂😂
Fragile is this really the best comment you could think of? oh look, this guy finds something nooblet could improve if he wanted to, lets compare him to an ant. Atleast I share information that could be of value like ants do. I don't know why you think my brain is small, vey complex even so that you will never be able to understand, I am not sure if you even understand your own brain. If my brain would be like an ant, I would also be telepathic and have a great memory. So I guess, thanks for the compliments on some parts, but I am sure that if you are not taller than me, your brain is probably smaller than mine is. Oh and get a bit of facts atleast about what you are insulting with.
my ant was the crazy lady.
Is that the only comeback you can think of?
Ark Devs are going to introduce invisible barriers where you can't block drops or terminals. That's what I think might happen if this gets annoying.
Justin Harrison that would ruin the build anywhere aspect of pvp servers.
If the devs do that people will just build around them to block them off.
MrKillerdie they'll probably just give drops random locations
The Devs can and no one but noobs will play the game. I already have giving the game a bad review because of this shit.
devs will just make building near these not possible and i cant wait , even tho i dont play anymore i find it childish that ppl are blocking server transfer on OFFICAL servers which are NOT yours
Let's be honest, the devs care as much about you and the community as they do following legally binding contracts.
They don't.
Hunter Kenchov maybe but they do care about their own game and blocking features they designed will likely get their attention
They designed it this way and will soon loose a huge american/EU pbase due to the fact that the game styles of the asian players and eu/us players completely contracts. Asian don't play to build or tame only top wipe people out. EU/US play to tame and build. If you put in 1000 hrs for some group of 50 asian kids to come wipe it out in 2 hours cause they can overwelm the server.. not a good design
boonedfg they will only lose the whiny plebs like you ...the bulk is on private servers where this cant even happen lol soo w.e you know you could just shut up about asians just cuz they are better at games than you
You obviously did not understand anything I said instead choosing ad hominem as your defense to the argument. This has nothing to do with being better and more to do with play styles. It will unfortunately cause a lot of the EU/US players to either go private or be extremely aggressive and block spawns especially when you can log into a server with 40-50 guys and have absolutely nothing and wipe a SE server while the EU/US players are asleep and at work.
Just a fyi: I'd transfer with c4, destroy pillars. Pull tames & bye bye server.
Also 6x damage on obelisks.
This is a old video. There is no way to defend against server raiders really
U guys r freaking out or much, the full version will come out in less than a month and the servers might get reset.
Drew Weller I heard it's in spring
Bigby I heard the digital is going to be out in December but the disc won't be till April(for console)
Drew Weller for ps4 it comes out on December 6th hard copy of the game will be in spring
Source?
lol months later and the release is no where in sight. I bet it doesn't get released for at least another year.
Instead of being able not get banned I will ask the alpha tribes to keep and eye on everyone and if they love too quickly we kill them off constantly. and instead of blocking the ob we will just get a bunch of carnos and anything that kills people in there with turrets added. I hate being constantly in fear of wyvern tryhards that spent $20 just to be "good" at a game and kill noobs and can't face someone their own size. I propose that you can only transfer items and Dino's to the map you played on such as Wyverns can only be transferred to another scorched earth map. I think that would be a great idea or just don't let items and Dino's be transferred. What's the point of constantly rebuilding because of people who want to control everything and destroy your base. I'm glad nooblets made this vid, all the hate is from trashy low lives that ruin the game for everyone. So in conclusion nooblets I support you for doing this and the devs should not ban anyone for doing this at all.
2000+ Hours in ark in now im officially done with this game.. I know i got my moneys worth and much more) Though I thought things would get better but the devs are doing too many drugs or something instead of making a better game.. A shame, ark had (and still have) potential... Just not sure if the devs have any:/ Been a good run
you gonna actually make a point?
@@pilkers2 I believe i made my point 3 years ago....
TheConMan you never actually said what was the problem tho
@@pilkers2 lol ok i see your point... What i was trying to say is that instead of fixing frame rate issues, multiplayer servers, hackers, underground glitching ect they rather seemed to be worring about Christmas, Easter, Valentines bullshit events no one asked for... Many of these problems are still in the game to this date 3 years later... But they rather want to push out expensive ass DLC thats essentially just a new map with a new dino on it...
TheConMan frame rate issues and hacking aren’t actually a problem anymore
nice idea, only the structures on the obelisks are times 6 damage like in caves
we've build defense towers next to it to avoid people the get to the pedestra and on the airdrops we've placed vaults as you are doing in yr video
Shows how shit this game has gotten. Good thing I stopped playing it months ago.
MEATHEADBooYA the game is good itself it just how the people took advantages of the update.
+hot cocoa nope the game is shit, only people with litteraly no lifes are able to play it normally. or people that have good relations with a huge tribe that plays 24/7
***** so I have no life? I can't even play the game because my laptop is fucked up right now...
Yeah the game is all about politics, who can suck up to the largest alpha tribe on your server or now on the game. :)
I guess so...
Omg u just saved my server! Thx for the Help
thanks for the vid, people are putting wyverns in an destroying everything
Happened on my server, they were even going around wiping all the beginner wood bases too
yup i switched to PVE because i put 100 hours into trying 5 different bases. Just to have 2 wyverns come by and destroy everything.
while now you shown the alpha tribes in my server how to keep us from leaving to a new server. they've ban together and block all the metal resource so there is no way we can put up a fight when they have all the resources and we have to build and hide everything over and over again
Honestly. this has screwed over the game so bad.
Sir I thank you because you literally just saved my server
I hate to say the obvious, but blocking all the drops, obi's, and artifacts is only a delay tactic. A determined group will always send people ahead that will just farm materials to destroy the vaults and anything else blocking a drop. Then when no one is on the server, destroy the structure at a drop and import everything, I MEAN EVERYTHING, they need to get their base built, most likely in some glitch spot, and start going to town. First they'll raid the smaller tribes and add to their warchest of materials then go straight for the alphas (if they don't wipe them out first). Had it almost happen on the official server I play on. But the Alpha there has been wiping out anyone with questionable server and play history as soon as they join and they let noobs join the server, even refugees from other servers that have been wiped. Thank God. I like playing official pvp, but this whole server to server transfer with no restrictions is going to make Ark one big mosh pit.
kinda sad that such extreme measures are needed just to be able to play in peace although now you need to do something else on the air drops like psx/auto turrets or making a base with an open roof to keep the drop in
see raiders are giving a bad name to people like me who just wanna transfer servers to be with friends XD
Gir Likes Biscuits Exactly! It's annoying.
It's not about avoiding PvP. It's about being to play official at all. A lot of the tribes taking over servers kill off any new players to the servere and outright tell them they aren't welcome to play on it and place turrets and buildings around spawn points to kill new players automatically.
I understand your viewpoint, nooblets. however, I do hope you realize that the developers of the game have already stated that doing so is against the fair play rules of the game. And what you are doing and teaching other people to do on private servers is actually against our rules of gameplay set by the developing team. in other words people can see this video report you to the archives and then you can suffer extreme consequences. the developers already said they're trying to stop people from doing this, long before the whole incident which is going on now. " you cannot block Obelisk for airdrop spawn zones without allowing players a way to get out" . the same goes with spawn zones
I completely agree with you that there are a lot of stupid people doing something very stupid, however I do understand a drastic actions such as this, but just understand that the right person just needs to report you, and then you're screwed.
only on PVE servers is this illegal on offical.. PVP servers it is perfectly legal
Pretty sure blocking is only a PvE rule, whereas PvP it's allowed. Anyways even if they didn't allow this, enforcing it would be like setting their player base on fire.
only thing is the trip wires is they get unwired any time wildcard takes down the servers or updates
this is sad...
So are raiders from other servers transfering all their dino's to the server your playing on to destroy everything you worked days if not weeks/months for in seconds
Tom B. That happens anyways by other players on pvp servers. Heck I left a pvp server because all my stuff got destroyed by a douche. This video is made by a person who probably has the strongest tribe on that server and doesnt want a stronger one taking him down like he has done to many others. On a Bightside this video will make ark more interesting because of tribe vs tribe civil wars over who controls the obelisks and drops.
if you even watched his vids you know who his friends are :3 all i can tell he works hard for it and i fully understand why he does this :3
Its obvious you dont know Nooblets ahaha
Nora Iconiq making uneducated assumptions isn't health bro
Hey nooblet, what Dino's CAN you bring to a bossfight?
Is it different every boss?
Im getting mixed info from reddit/youtubers.
Tetrad20 I'm not sure myself but it's in the official wiki.
thanks, found out the info is under the arena names, not the boss names, confusing.
You sir are afraid of a fight I've defended two servers from invaders and won
brayden clark ...good for you
brayden clark wow congratulations. you just earned a cookie x^D.
***** I don't have a job because I'm 13 😐.
Really with what your level 150 rex 😂
they need to make it so maybe any tribe can only transfer one tame every so often and maybe put a cool down on character transfers like with the Dino's so people who actually want to transfer a server can do so over time but not just bring everything and try to wipe a server, out maybe when people transfer tames it send out a server message if more than one or two Dino's are transferred
NO they need to make it so you can only transfer characters. Moving Dinos and stuff is stupid
All it takes is one Alpha bringing a Wyveren over to the Island or Center and they can wipe everything.
Armored Plant X is worthless vs a Wyveren Breath (as is any Dino) (yes I know Plant X is not end game but it is used to pad other Defenses)
Lord Tulkus so maybe don't allow wyverns and other end game tames but allow farming Dino's because getting anything decent tamed takes way too long without kibble if you're solo and taming a million Dino's for eggs to make kibble takes too long without at least 3 players who no life or a lot of casual players..
When people are afraid of pvp on pvp servers
Emanlamo When people are afraid of someone joining with 10 200+ level gigas, and quetzals and wiping their whole server*
when you have downs
warwickboyz Lmao
OG Brasi it's called PVP for a reason i know its not fair but that's how ARK works
RainbowTrainStation kek person who calls them self rainbowTrainStation who literally added nothing constructive to the conversation
It works, this a good way to end trolls on ur server especially with esp n aim bot this is perfect u can finally catch ur foe and and cage him or her n this always ends it with trolls, ur server now safe for u to play
What mapdoes it work on??
Unsubbed, the first time I 100% disagree with nooblets, he's far too paranoid about what the game ultimately is.... A game about raiding
Corey Westwell It's not fun if you just boil it down to "kill people". The goal is to survive, build, have awesome adventures! It's a beautiful game at heart but it's dead to me now. It's not fair for players that aren't part of a mega tribe to buy the game and not be able to play on public servers. I have a medium sized tribe including people I know irl and people that taught me the game when I got it. Within 2 weeks time we have moved 3 servers because the mega tribes are taking advantage of the patch and literally taking servers. No tribe should own a public server. Soon the fan base will die out and the mega tribes will just be sitting there playing pve.
You unsub because you disagree once? Friggin SJW loon.
+Captain Rednek unsubbed because this video was uploaded, teaching people how to and also suggesting doing so. No other reason then that.
+will chambers well ark suggests it's a survival game but once you build up on either the island or the center it really looses its survival element, scorched did combat that which is fun! You go do all those things on pve and not have to worry so much can about being raided
+Captain Rednek plus with all the obelisks and drops blocked, mainly the drops how are the lower level players or fresh spawns supposed to progress? They simple can't without trading a stupid amount of resources to whatever tribe, cause you ain't gonna let go of a MC longneck BP without good payment, what are people to do? Live off of primitive stuff nah? I play on two official servers on Xbox, neither of those servers have been blocking drops or obelisks and they are probably two of the more active servers on Xbox
I've been curious about playing ARK since it first released but just couldn't bring myself to buy into it. With steams winter sale coming up I decided to look into it and... wow... Not sure I want to play anymore. Single player perhaps, but if there are legions of asswipes moving between servers and just destroying things, that doesn't exactly sound fun to me.
If you find or host a private server you can still have fun just stay away from official as this is where this is all happening.
i rather deal with raiders then abuse alpha tribes. raiders just wanna have pvp fun. alpha tribes just bunch of carebears. have no pvp honor
This highlights an integral problem with PvP in ark in general: if you don't have the largest Alpha tribe on the block, you are subjected to the threat of being pre-emptively wiped on their whims. The "meta" is simply to have a larger tribe, rather than trying to make sure that small tribes fight other small tribes, and large ones fight large ones.
The only time PvP in ark is fun is when the playing field is somewhat fair, and that means that 95% of the PvP isnt fun. The other is 15% griefing and 80% discouraging people from griefing you.
The difference between the amount of time it takes to build, as well as scope of structures desired, vs the speed with which you can destroy structures also comes into sharp relief, When your week/months-long build gets destroyed in a matter of minutes.
It's a good game: but the design, meta and balance of interacting with other tribes needs a massive overhaul. The method of 'land claiming' ie. how much you can build vs the size of your tribe also needs to be looked at thoroughly: as curtailing this would benefit both PvP and PvE servers immensely.
There needs to be more incentive/disincentive built into the PvP system, to encourage the gameplay to evolve into fights that are fun, while de-emphasising the "dont fight unless you're going to wipe them" mentality. More fights with less drastic consequences that encourage you to quit the game if you lose.
you should do a video on how to defend against big tames just in case those mega tribes do somehow get in
With this update I think its good if use correctly that's why I only like pvp on private servers and play pve on official because on pve official u can have tribe wars which is basically like a friendly pvp sort of deal that's my opinion but yes I do agree that people shouldn't be dicks and wipe people just an ass hole move
That vault idea is fucking genius
That is some heavy duty security. Thanks
i have a solution play on a private pvp server with an admin not much a 100 man server raiding party can do to an admin with god mode turned on and infinite ammo or the ability to kick/ban players u can get a 35 man server for roughly 17 bucks a month
but as always interesting vid keep it up
This is sad, I've put well over 1k hours into this game and I used to love it. I've taken a break from the game since around July and the way it's heading is just... wow..
While blocking drops and obs is a dirty move it has become a necessity for servers to stop giant raiding parties from flooding the server and wiping out all the tribe bases while keeping others from joining while they raid
I only started ark a few weeks ago and i wondered why people had blocked all these drops
Can't do this on Rag. I wonder could you maybe drop a vault from the back of a quetz?
I like the idea but what if u want to transfer or collect items from it or if u want to fight a boss and removing would be to costly for most ppl to remove vaults to access it when u only get around half the amount of recourses back when removing it so it's a bit of a 50 50 what u want coz I like getting the drops n ppl blocked them it would be annoying coz sometimes they hold good stuff
hey you forgot to add the part where you get reported and then your tribe gets deleted so you lose all of your stuff
Hey I am not sure if you knew, but you can still upload and download via the drops
Hey nooblets, i know this is nothing to do with the video but which map do you prefer playing? The Island, The Center or Scorched Earth?
I was going to do some more multiplayer stuff but I might be changing my mind now
I get the reasoning... but if I saw this I'd just assume it's an unfriendly server and not bother. What's the devs contact info? Clearly what's needed is a good hounding for them to change it from free transfer to "Do you wish to allow transfers? Yes/No?" or even allow servers to set limits. One Dino, 100 wood, 100 meat, no metal for example.
I can appreciate the ability to transfer dinos and resources between servers but I can also see the political problem of mega tribes. If the devs are determined to allow import/export then they could simply disallow building around obilisks and make supply drops random. Though I think 3 obilisks for a maps the size of ark is rather limited. Maybe something more like 5 - 7 would be more reasonable, one for each major zone. Obis are not just used to transfer between servers remember, they are also used for dino transfer between zones within the map. I think there needs to be a resource cap or some kind of anti trust feature for tribes. That or some kind of feature to create competition. Say an experience boost for creating and maintaining a tribe which is largely composed of low level members and dinos but tapers off as the resources, dinos, and member level/member count increases. In short your "tribe level" increases = tribe bonuses decreases. Even if a mega tribe recruited tons of low level players it wouldn't get the bonuses a full low level tribe would. This would encourage more new tribe creation. But the this of course is all hypothetical....
