You can also right click on steam icon in your notification bar, click click servers and view info on server you have favourited. That is what I use when ark servers can't connect for some reason or another.
Thanks. Didn't know the server info had a player list That is more convenient.

I think something on the server crashed this morning. You cant mount anything. Thought it might be my local client but did a full restart and still got the same problem. Anybody else having this problem?

So Xist is alive? I swear I never see you anymore man.
Nobody wanted to PVP at all on the TEST Ark Server and so I've been playing on an official Hardcore PvP server.

We have a pretty amazing location/base, defenses like you wouldn't believe, and all the rest of the server is jealous and posturing like they're going to attack us - that is perfect as far as we are concerned.

We are building up an arsenal now so we can go on the offensive in the relatively near future and not have to stop to farm in the middle of it.

Anybody who wants to do some PVP, let me know.

But yes, I'm still around and I can keep the TEST server running smoothly if/when @Hydro_Axis isn't around.

I'm tempted to come and join you guys. Would I be able to transfer another one of my official server people over?

It's a hardcore server, so no transfers are allowed. When you die, you start at level 1 again.

This makes trying to NOT die really enjoyable. Your pulse will thump in hardcore unlike it never does otherwise since dying REALLY sucks. And it makes killing other players all the more enjoyable.

We have some high level birds and pteras, so you can get to level 60 in a matter of hours. Getting to 94 takes weeks though.

So as far as the Test Server goes. Are we just going to make it completely PVE with the occasional pvp event? We need to decide on this, because the server is getting frustrating.

I think we should implement a full server change to PVE.

I play 99% PVE except with the occasional petra getting shot out of the sky. so it doesn't bother me either way.

I am in favor of PVE, and turning on structure decay. I think PVP events could be cool. SOTF is out now as a stand alone free to play so if people do have a PvP itch we could start doing a TEST team.

Oh man! You guys missed an epic battle on my official server.

Only 1 month on the server and we seriously injured the alpha tribe who has been there 8 months. If we had more people we probably could have wiped them. (We only had 3 active).

We killed all 3 of their gigas, all of their spinos, all of their brontos, a couple of quetzals, and a couple of players.

They still have some quetzals left, and way more people than we have, so we're going to get wiped soon. But it was definitely worth it! Loads of fun. :)

Might try playing SOTF, but I think I'm done building and taming and all that crap for now. Who knows.

If you guys really want to change it to a PVE server, we can.

However I'm not sure that will solve the problem. There are ways to glitch into the walls and steal things from you still. It happens all the time on the official PVE servers.

The best thing for you to do IMO is just keep some plant turrets around your base, and maybe even make some real auto turrets.

That will keep people away unless they are dedicated raiders (which I don't think anyone on the server really is, from the sound of it).

Anyway we can go full PVE if you want, I just don't think it will solve the problem. Plant and auto turrets will solve your problem though.
