When to Wipe (Latest is monday)

http://vote.pollcode.com/61368595

Should we do a player wipe as well?

Latency is high folks, admin stone says it's time for a wipe. We'll do a meeting tomorrow to figure everything out.

Changes: 02/07/15 - LOTS OF BIG ONES.

MapleTreat — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 07:03:01 +0000

Obviously some of the most notable changes are the additions of the pleasiosaur and the ichy-dolphin. With that we're hoping to see some big changes to ARK, and the overall map as it stands now.

Very few complaints in the last day due to griefing and problems, which is a big plus considering yesterdays meeting cleared up a lot of the issues when it came down to server direction. Peace intervals throughout the day was actually voted down by the players, and although force-fed, the coliseum is now under construction.

The coliseum will be owned by 'Server Admins' crew, so don't touch it when you see it. There will be many large vaults with a thatch skeleton and the begginings of a behemoth gate if you see it in its current state. So please be respectful while we work to make something fun for the competitive side of the server to enjoy! The project will be headed by 'Grandmaster'.

Saul Goodman will be taking over as DM for 'Nautilus(Maybe) tribe, as decided per its untimely demise yesterday. Due to a ownership error with a quickly disbanded admin tribe, it appears the faction as it stands need to be remade from the bottom up. This is a fault of myself as an admin, even though it was the bug that ended up nipping them. Adequate compensation will be made to make up for all the hard work lost, and nautilus territory will soon be moving as well.

To those affected, tomorrow evening you'll be receiving your compensation the mishaps, and dino's will be replaced, as well as some permanent walling and structure foundations provided at the cost of the administration. We apologize for the inconvenience! Just wait until after 7PM EST! :)

Just a reminder that all grievances are no longer to be handled personally in game, or vocally with a rep. All of them to be made official must be made in the Grievances/Complaints forum here in the steam group if you want action to be taken. Any issues and complaining in Neutral Territory will be evaluated case-by-case, however chances are no actions will be taken in simple disputes.

If worst comes to worst, wars must be declared at the discretion of your tribe leaders, and the grievance settled on the battlefield. :)

Thanks for your support and playing so far guys! If you've stopped in the past now is a great time to play. Tears will always be in a survival game, but we've made some awesome steps forward in dealing with the server focus, and are looking forward to a great war day! :)

PS: Any problems with the rules, or comments on our progress? Please post them here! Thanks!

Unofficial Talk today - Here's what we covered.

MapleTreat — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 02:56:41 +0000

- This sunday will be a planned, streamed, 3 way brawl and look into the faction wars server and acomplishments.

- The server is going to reinforce its 'pro-survival' stance, and acknowledge that dinosaurs should be approached with the 'How long will it live this time', and not the 'Don't ever kill my dino or I'll be mad' mindset.

- It was successfully understood that there should not be a server-made handicap for factions on the low-end, just an understanding by the server and of course diplomacy and talks to be had in such a situation.

- We figured out HOW territory expansion should continue, but we will talk about WHAT is needed for it coming up this pre-war day.

- Definite changes to the rules coming up for structured PvP.

- Will work on basic raiding and stuff as well. Thanks for the great talk guys, kill biddy.

Hey Everyone! Welcome the NPP Alliance!

MapleTreat — Wed, 24 Jun 2015 04:14:08 +0000

It is the first official nomad alliance on the server, and is ready to participate in the servers little war game. Setting up in the north eastern side near the new nautilus faction area, they're ready to open relations with other factions.

They will be given a TWO DAY Grace period to welcome the first nomad alliance in, and give them a good start on the server considering their newness to the server. Their grace ends @ 11:59PM EST on Thursday, but that doesn't just mean attack because nomad. ;)

Anyways, the alliance consists of:

Kentucky Fried Dodo
Future Sailors
SCVA
A$APasaurs

Reminders that war declarations need to be made before attacks ensure, and to keep checking up for server announcements! The only ones left to place down outposts are METAL MAFIA for their starting territory, and war day discussions will take place on our 'General Discussion' forum for the group.

The updated map will be posted below, and thanks for playing faction wars guys! Have Fun! :)

Announcement for War Day + New Joiners!

MapleTreat — Sat, 20 Jun 2015 01:27:36 +0000

Hello everyone! Tomorrow @ 10AM EST is the beginning of the second official war day. I just want to lay out a few rules here to ensure everyone full understands the ramifactions of the V2 way of thinking, and conducts themselves properly during the fight.

Rules:

1. No Griefing: You can destroy more than one wall section, but ensure you aren't just breaking every wall to get some jollies.

You can break holes in buildings, but don't take the whole thing down.

You can take the valuables, but don't dump things just to cripple a faction.

Dinosaurs are portable sentries, those can be killed.

2. FACTION WAR DECLARATIONS: If no declarations are made against a main faction on pre-war day, that faction is SAFE. The only attacks you can expect are from people who declare proper warfare. Anyone who does not will be harshly deal with by the server.

Punishments for breaking that rule include: Level rollback to 1, all resources being wooshed into the air, banishment/temporary banishment from the server. I need that to be understood by all.

3. MAIN FACTIONS MUST DECLARE WAR: On anything that isn't a nomad faction. If nautilus wants to attack uprising, they must declare war and wait 8 hours before the attack. However, barricades are acceptable by either side as soon as war is declared.

Nomads are in neutral territory, you don't even need a war day to attack them. Stop worrying about breaking the rules.

NOMADS: You are free to attack without declaration for war days, it's open season for you. Go wild. However please check IE) Rule 1 for your limitations.

4. War Day Starts 10 AM Saturday - 2AM Monday. Night time raids are definitely frowned upon, but not illegal in the server. However if you want to be hated by everyone, and be a shady little bitch who's going to get his ass beat by the rest of the server, please, be our guest. Admins won't jump in, however the rest of the server might. ;)

Thanks for reading guys! Enjoy the war day!

PS: All applications will be sorted out on monday. We'll keep crew cohesion for the war days, thank you! Have fun all! :D
