Iv been naming my Vaults with their coords since aberration and we needed to vault drop healing plants :P Other than that I actually avoid using spam. I think it's a low tier way to defend a server. I know it's become somewhat necessary which I hate more so

[@obskewerd3992]

@Tom Church Exactly, OC gen 2 servers on Xbox are packed with these fuckwit tribes that literally can't PvP. They can't even build but they have so much structure down because of striders. Youd think with unlimited access to resources you would be a more competent tribe and not need to blow the servers proverbial arsehole open with lag. Part of owning a server used to mean maintenance too. I'm still the only tribe IV seen on official own a server for more than a year without spamming the whole thing off. Its called PVP if you're afraid go back to pillar spamming pve servers XD lol

[@schrottiyhd6776]

First thing: on Offical settings Structures autodecay after 12:00 Houres when notting is connected + if you press H while looking at structures you can see decaytimer Second thing: Tek turrets are best to vaultdrop since they have 9k HP and each c2 deals approximately 500dmg to it = 9000/500 = 18 c4 is more then vault needs 50k hp with 3.6k dmg by c4 = 50 000 / 3600 = 13.6 = 14 c4 (i think its 15 cause it does not deal exactly 3600 dmg), you get the point ... including to that is if you place tek turret right you can actually hide it inside vault

Why would anyone EVER bring this tactic to PVE servers? I've been through 3 maps (vanilla+expansions) already and they all are overspammed with these pillars. Like - okay, you plan to build a larger base, but why in the heaven would you spam the pillars all over the water sources even far away from you base? This NEEDS to be revisioned by the devs, this NEEDS to be banable on PvE servers.

[@drtux7210]

this NEEDS to be banned everywhere, PVP and PVE, it's such a bad experience for other players and it kills the immersion

[@sumguyonabike8776]

On pve its done so ppl don't build big base right next to some one else's big base. To many in one area just ruins server. It's done around water n resources to stop ppl from blocking beaver dams and resource nodes As for pvp it's done so ppl cant fob on your door step n pin u in base from start. The more stuff they gotta clear the longer raid takes. The longer raid takes more chance u have of getting tribe online n Deffending.

[@neuroNadia]

Technically, most of this is against WCs CoC on PVE. WC is actually fast at dealing w/ these types of offences in PVE. I agree--completely useless in PVE, and yet I see some players do this. It is a ridiculous act of entitlement. When I see PVP spam in PVE....But I do see the purpose of it on PVP. But then again, I don't have time or patience for PVP. But love to see the differences in gameplay, strategy & how players think.

[@neuroNadia]

@@sumguyonabike8776 Yes, in PVE there is a proper way to protect resources, and I am not against this, as long as it is within reason. But this video shows PVP spam, and I know ppl who have done this in PVE....and yes, something is wrong with them. Why PVE players do this is another topic for another day though lol

@@WallhacksYT i mean is there really a point to either pve or pvp after you've bred everything and beat all the bosses? Either way you play, all we are doing at that point is filling dedis with mass amounts of resources whether it's from farming or raiding. But PvE is more about super breeding, creative building, and setting your own goals in the game. Besides that, there has been many great overhaul/progression based mods over the years that introduce new ways of playing such as Annunaki, Extinction: Core, Pugnacia, Ark Eternal, Primal Fear, etc....and when you get bored of doing it all time to take a break and play another game. Come back a few months later, and do it all over again. Restarting/early game has always been my favorite part of ark

@@invertus9411 yeah I have seen vids about the mods and those always looked cool but I play on console so I don't think they're available to me.
