If you're in pvp, wreck em. Of youre in pve, report them. If you're in official, leave.


NovaStorm93

> if you're in official, leave. official is toxic for basically no reason. I think people who spend time on official either hate other people or love ruining the game for others


MightBeAPear

I have 5k hours in official pvp, can confirm i hate other people


BreakFlashy1616

I have 1 hour in official, I also hate other people


MightBeAPear

It was super fun like the first year or so after the server wipe of 2017


Surfing_Andromedas

I have 20 minutes in official pvp and I also hate people


JaceKagamine

I have 0 minutes in official pvp, I also hate people


Dr-Jack-Bright

I have 12 seconds in official pvp, I also really hate those parasites you call people


BackgroundCute5859

I have 15 minutes in official, I also hate other people because pillars are everywhere and I can’t do shit without pissing someone off and have them yell at me and harvest what I’m harvesting


RuneOfFlame

Ive found pve players are 10x more toxic than most pvp players and it’s absolutely hilarious. The amount of petty shit pve players will do to eachother for virtually nothing is hilarious


Paroxsym809

On fjordur official an entire artifact cave was taken by a tribe because of them blocking it off. Lucky for me i found their tribe leader sleeping in a base that had a door left open. dragged his body back to my base and have been keeping him in a room for 5 days now. you get what you deserve


Evelyn_Of_Iris

Keep him there forever, reenact Plato's The Cave if you must, you're doing the world a solid


CarrotDeParrot

New to ark here, what's preventing them from killing themselves?


Competitive_Web_5612

if they have handcuffs put on and are overweight, they can't move nor access their inventory or use a weapon. makes them practically unable to do anything. they could starve/dehydrate, but this can be manually prevented by another player.


Tz_Grim

you can eat your own shit to kill yourself but not many know that. when someone puts handcuffs on you, the shit gets put in your hotbar automatically i believe. at least in pve if not pvp.


OrangeChickenAnd7Up

>you can eat your own shit to kill yourself but not many know that God fucking damn, it is too early for this 😂


pikapichupi

you can't, the only way of dying while entrapped is dying of hunger, you can force yourself to poop and eat it and you can try to struggle/stam out till you starve but, there's no suicide option


CarrotDeParrot

Why is kidnapping a mechanic lmao. Also, wouldn't you have to be constantly monitoring a prisoner? How has he kept them in there for 5 days?


MyFeetStinkBut

Have you never been kidnapped by a war quetz? It’s terrifying. Once kidnapped it can be very difficult to escape considering you have to wait for your food/water to drain and that can take a very long time when you can’t move. On PvP servers when a prisoner comes online and tried to wait until their food/water drains a tribe will assign a “warden” to watch over the prisoner to periodically knock them out and force feed them water, food and medbrews.


tomthekiller8

Done this to naked base raiders. They have nothing to lose so we finally knocked him out and caged him until he quit. Tbf it wasnt long


MyFeetStinkBut

My buddy got kidnapped and would log in twice a day to see if he could escape. On the third day he got tired of waiting so he logged on and “played” for 12hrs until his captures finally got offline


Wolfclaw135

The guy has probably been offline for quite a while, after all water and food don't go down when you're offline


VanEagles17

How long you gonna keep him there?😂


Paroxsym809

forever mwuhaha


VanEagles17

Haha next time he's on you need to surround him with Phiomia and spam feed them stimberries and make them crap on him.


Paroxsym809

ooh i like this idea


Paroxsym809

im in PVE, if he punches the phiomia can he injure himself?


VanEagles17

Yeah it should injure him if he punches them. You could put them on a platform over him with their asses hanging over him though. High enough that he can't hit them of course.


NovaStorm93

lmao i havent seen the extent of pve, what do they do? stuff like the shown image?


[deleted]

Pillar off whole places so no one can build drop millions of takes all over your base that you can’t get rid of shit like that


[deleted]

Drop millions of what?


[deleted]

Tames sorry auto correct got me


OmegamanTG9000

I’m not toxic :.( but really though if this is how they are then that’s kind of disappointing. Good thing I’m starting a new game on single player lol. Decided to go to the lost island even though I’m not done on someone’s private server on The Island lol


wedonotwantcoffe

Do unofficial, way less toxic.


ra77d

Absolutely go to some unofficial server. I'm playing official because my friends are there but switch to a nice cluster just to rest a bit. It's a night and day difference. No spam, no toxicity, better performance nice set of mods and admins that are always there to help.


wedonotwantcoffe

Do unofficial, way less toxic.


the_real_fellbane

For real! Had a guy creep around to claim a guy's wyvern baby last night and just fucked around for over an hour before he decided to unclaim it and give it back. Like, whyyyyyy dude? Just a real shitty attitude all around


Papa_Swish

It's sad and confused how people actively want other players to stop playing the game, like the playercount isn't going up these days bud, you're just killing the game you enjoy.


Analtrain

I always like arkpoc, but I could never find when the official reset time is, so I seldomly play it.


Noodles2702

It’s on the 17th/18th depending on where you live, it’s announced in the offical ark discord


chubbygoddess96

Man, people coming into private are also ridiculous. I was building in one area and a guy came into my server and destroyed my house and knocked out my character while I was trying to place a gate for my dinos. He killed me cause I was tranqued... My tribe member was on and sniped him as revenge lol


Agitated-General2552

i like killing people


NorabelMHW

Pretty much. I had a base on PvE and I’d just settled down id been there for about a week and because I was fairly new and didn’t know what pillars where some guy came and placed a 3x3 outside my base and refused to move it even though it was just a base for a stupid bed to fast travel… like as if they didn’t have the 2nd biggest base on the server as it was lol


eat_sleep_drift

or simply like a harder challenge ;) the ruining game for others can turn around real quick and you could end up on the receiving side. saying they hate other people is nearly the same as saying pvp = hating others. many play on official just because its harder then on boosted servers and take either some kind of pride or satisfaction of surviving in a harsher less forgiving environment, the guarantee that the admin will not cheat or favor his friends or simply close the server down for x reasons.


MoonBoy2DaMoon

Ark official PvP is the worst thought out multiplayer experience i have ever witnessed. On top of that, the player are dog shit humans too (haha right)


nomadic_stone

Pretty sure even on PvP official; it's against their rules to block. But.. I dunno, been years since I played PvP.


eat_sleep_drift

no its fine, only spawn and TP (gen1, fjordur) zone blocking is forbidden you can block all loot drops on a map and also the obelisks if you want to


LukeLikesReddit

Eh when did this change? I've seen tribes wiped from official for blocking obs by admins. Even seen them come in and warn the tribe to remove it. This was back on the legacy servers. Everyone got around it by just building it on an alt and alliancing. Just rebuild if necessary.


nomadic_stone

Really? wow... there was a time that wasn't the case. I recall a megatribe in PvP that surrounded the red and green OBs on the island with behemoth gates and turret towers inside... and had a megabase at blue so the admins did a wipe. Eh... oh well. Glad I prefer PvE.


eat_sleep_drift

maybe they got wiped for a different reason like duping , meshing, aimbot or what ever ? the mechanic is quite easy to understand why it isnt a problem, you could simply load yourself up with dinos , C4 etc and then transfer to spawn on the server and then destroy/attack what ever is blocking.


Spidey-Pool5

wait what’s the difference between PVE and Official?


wedonotwantcoffe

Pve official is the most toxic thing in ark, pve onofficial is the second least toxic(behind single player)


Mea_ne_coule_pas

tame a whole bunch a big shit and drop them all around in order to block the door. More effective if they can't move them using a quetzal.


akvamarine69

That’s evil.. I like that 😀


Mea_ne_coule_pas

I mastered the art to go even worse on people playing it the dirty way. It's kinda relaxing haha


BumWink

If they're at tek they'll just throw out a bred tame for a minute meat run quickie.


Mea_ne_coule_pas

OP explained in another answer it was PVE.


Cable_Upstairs

Yeah pve so they can't demolish


wyvern-flyer

What about picking an arthro and dropping it on the box? Nvr mind, stupid suggestion.


Present-Flight-2858

It’s pve. Wild arthros can’t damage structures like tamed ones can.


EMNOx2

do it at their base, not on this loot, it has to hurt them.


NiteNohz

Fill em full of rocks.


Mea_ne_coule_pas

Neat.


akvamarine69

You can’t pick up other peoples tames, BUT I’m thinking which dino would be best for this, and probably will need multiple to block all the walls and roof.. any ideas?


Squirrelleee

Brontos with huge structures on their platform saddles. Or Paraceratherium. Sarco beneath their feet.


ProbablyMissClicked

Tame an army of kentros and place them all around it.


Stormreachseven

Maybe some Paracers? They’re small enough to jam together and block a lot of directions with their legs but I don’t think a Quetz can lift them


swift8819

Would gasbags work?


AzrealNibbs12

What about Woolly Rinos? They’re small enough to pack together and they’re legs are short enough that nobody can get under them


mikroscosmo

Racer with platform structures that extend down


newf68

I had somebody do that to me with dodos. So frustrating


PyronicDeath

Agro a titan and let it destroy them


I69UrMomBitch

But a titanosaur isn't capable of destroying metal and tek right?


Embarrassed-Camera96

It can destroy all types of structures and does 300% damage to all types, including Tek.


Daan0man

Tamed ones can dmg all structures. Personally don’t know abt wild ones tho


Embarrassed-Camera96

Wild ones can too. Learned the hard way 😞


Daan0man

☠️


KD119

Yeah and I think there’s a desert spawn for em also


SwaggerNoodle

But it has ORP enabled so the walls are invincible to damage. Why would a titanosaur be able to destroy them?


PyronicDeath

When they are online do it


Ragnr99

Official? Yeah sounds about right.


Anotherdude342

Just tame some arthropleura and let them spit on it lol.


akvamarine69

This is pve


PPGamer99

Report it to wc, very slim chance they do anything about it but u can try


Daver7692

To be fair to WC, the couple of times (although I haven’t done it in years) that I’ve reported stuff, they do seem to act on it.


SliverSkel

Same. I literally had them save a tame that fell under the map in a cave.


cleon42

Same, my experience has been that they're usually pretty good about it. The process around setting up an appointment in-game is a little kludgy, though.


Anotherdude342

Damn, that's some bullshit then.


Kryds

Aggro wild animals on to it.


Setagod_Vesteria

Then just lure an arthro I mean that is a desert.


Alfalfa-Mundane

Won't do anything wild don't damage structures like a tamed one does.


Setagod_Vesteria

O rip


DudeWhoIsThat

Bronto bomb their base


ashkiller14

Get a titanosaur to wreck or cover the entire area with stegos that block their entrance. Especially if you have a good stego saddle.


SwaggerNoodle

But it has ORP enabled so the walls are invincible to damage. Why would a arthropleura be able to do anything?


giga89898989

Bro he could just wait for then to be online. It's kinda obvious


wizard_brandon

it'll "only" take like 10k seconds to figure out the code


JustAnAverageTechGuy

That's like 2 hours


ashkiller14

Not bad.


Top_Professional_225

Report it, usually wc deals with these situations, same with mass pillaring.


Alastair_S1D

Report it if on official. Wildcard will yeet them.


Muffin_man420

Yup, it's against code of conduct to block these things off


zeogaming

No it isn't


Muffin_man420

"Blocking access to important resources (ie. charge nodes, Extinction City Terminals, Orbital supply crates on Extinction, Teleporters, Dispatchers, or Mission Terminals and etc)" Yep, sure is.. assuming you're one of the dbags that think this is okay.. get a life bub..


john_rabb

Bro back in the day people would make all supply drops on the island unreachable and close off the obs


totally_boring

To be fair tho, back in the day when server transfers started, meshing was a really bad problem and we had a metric ton of cheaters. So closing off spawn areas and immediately killing anyone who spawned or transfered in was the safest bet.


Shadowgroudon22

A public service, really


CommanderHavond

Server transfers essentially opened up a wealth of duplication glitches that bad apples used to successive degrees by crashing their own servers


PostalEFM

There is a titanosaur in that desert, pull it over.


akvamarine69

Same structure on all 5 drops - not enough titanosaurs 😅


Intelligent-Ad4229

Good god I hope Ark 2 isn’t this bad with trolling.


Taolan13

Even if they put build protection around the loot boxes, people will build fences right at the border of the protection zone. Toxicity is rampant in sandbox games. They don't incite it so much as when given the freedom to do so, a small percentage of the players will be assholes. And these assholes will band together to make things so miserable at top level play that nobody else can really do anything, except the admins wiping.


Candoran

Life hack: Arthroplueras can damage metal and Tek structure and are passive tames (eat some bug repellent and crouch up to them with spoiled meat). Go tame one and out-douche the douches by consuming every Tek structure in the desert 🤣 EDIT: oh this is pve? I’m sorry for your loss. 😅


Moosebld

Might be different on console, but on pc loot crate dont spawn inside structure. They will always spawn away from it, hence no one can block them. Its just bed to go loot them faster


Psilovecybin

The desert loot crates alway spawn in the same location.. you can build a whole house around them and theyll still spawn.


No_Introduction5665

Tame an arthro


Sea-Phone-537

And this is why offical servers need better regional support and tribes need a cap on them somehow.


RipaMoram117

If this is on official, it's reportable.


[deleted]

I remember when transferring through drops was a thing. Alpha's would block every single drop in-game to stop people transferring into the server


PoultryGravy

Are you on unofficial ? If so you can always reach to the admin, this is enough of a reason for the admin to ban the tribe in question


Crabby_Fish

every1 saying u should tame an arthro, but a pego might work well for unlocking the door edit: nvm its pve, just report the tribe.


Aware-Ad-3571

I hope shit like this is fixed in ark 2, and if disease comes back, I'm not even going to bother. Official in Ark is garbage, and toxic af.


Muraski_Megami

My boyfriend was hopping around on servers for metal runs and numerous servers were just griefed by asshole mega tribes they all just were placing tons and tons of metal floors all over chopped down all trees so basically you couldn’t build with destroying their floors. A lot of them has also built up under a drop so you couldn’t get to it. Keep in mind my boyfriend seen 5 or 6 servers like that IN A ROW! I thought was the best display of small dick energy I had ever seen.


Glass_Windows

tame an artho and destroy it, then put down your own hut and put turrets on it and only let in everyone but them


SwaggerNoodle

But the server has ORP enabled so the walls are invincible to damage, why would an artho do anything?


Glass_Windows

when they come online or just play on a server without ORP


_Darkrai-_-

So 2 things if ur on pvp get an arthro If ur on pve report them since blocking spots like this is not allowed Now if u have alot of time and wanna be really evil rock golems in rock form u cab interact with anything inside themso theyd have to kill it with wild tames which takes years with a good saddle and stuff


_KingDingALing_

That server got admin? Or a discord ? Most don't allow this official type bs


akvamarine69

It’s official


_KingDingALing_

They got ORP on officials?


FANTOMphoenix

Just bring a wild arthro over and get it to aggro in structures, or switch servers to do runs.


HellfyrAngel

Time to tame an arthropleura and break those free


tvscinter

Report them on ark support. A GM will destroy it


Nuclear_Priest

I’ve seen a server where they block off all of the drop spots, like the normal drops that come from the sky. And the obelisks, it was hell to get off of.


Elo_Solo

Everything man made can be man broken


jsparker43

Why do people play on clusters and servers like that? It took awhile but I found the greatest community cluster that was regulated and kept the douchebags in check.


Senior-Ad8261

Someone built almost everywhere where there’s metal nodes so they don’t respawn in one of the pvp maps I play on, lol.


ResponsibilityOk1591

If it’s pvp blow them up if it’s pve report them and they could get foundation wiped completely.


[deleted]

Another reason to why arks PvP is terrible.


Additional_Writing49

That's on a PvE server.


[deleted]

Lmao how did the developers not think of this. I knew pillar spam was already a thing but I would have thought they would have considered that players would box in loot crates


Additional_Writing49

Yea well no fine I agree


YeetingSelfOfBridge

Bro what 😭


Drewpehkuh

That’s an interesting opinion you have, thank you for sharing your opinion


swervelord

Just another reason why pve is trash.


MIGHTYMOUSE2005

Surround it with large tames like quetz or gasbags if it’s a cluster server, either way use low levels


HamCityBiscuits

It’s shit loot anyways


smoothhands

Lol you play on public servers


akvamarine69

Your point?


PatchworkMann

He’s not wrong, 10 player nitrado server for Xbox/pc made ark far more enjoyable


akvamarine69

When I started playing ark I just joined my friends that were playing on an official map for years, so offering to play on anything else was not an option as they already had settled on official


smoothhands

You can create your happiness Or just hope for it


Nair114

PvE is cancerous, never play PvE


Psilovecybin

Said the guy whose whole gameplay loop consists of fucking people over and destroying their progress 🤡


Nair114

Everyone has a chance to fight back in PvP. In the other hand, there are only grieving in PvE.


bubbagumpirate

Honestly shit like this is why I hope pvp doesn't make it to ark2. The pvp is basically a full time job, and it's nothing but trolling. Base raiding is fine, killing players and dinos is fine. And honestly it's fun af to build a fleet of boats to attack someone's water base. But stupid shit like this or when people block off the obs... Or when wildcard can't figure out how to balance something in pvp so they nerf it or remove features are why pvp brings the game down. Used to love building crazy ass portable bases on the back of quetz. But you can't do that anymore cause people took advantage of it in pvp, and WC didn't know how to balance it.


RuneOfFlame

So, i know you took a long time to make this rant about pvp, but this is a pve problem. If it was a pvp server this problem would have a solution.


bubbagumpirate

I don't play on official pve servers only the modded ones. But I never run into this stuff unless I hop onto pvp servers. Both official and modded. And it's almost always in new spawn areas. I've been told it's mega tribes trying to block off other mega tribes from getting their stuff and starting a server war.


RuneOfFlame

So wait, just so were clear here, you are taking issue with official megatribes methods on official pvp servers, but only play modded player hosted pve servers, not official pve servers?


bubbagumpirate

I play all of it. But prefer modded pve. If you wanna go a step further I prefer hosting my own server more but that's not always an option.

ACrimsonNinja

Anyone who blocks off air drops on PVE is an asshole, just saying.


AnyTopia

Aaahh it’s sarcasm my dude


Geschak

Lmao 59 people were not able to detect the sarcasm in your commentary.


saltyswedishmeatball

Yes this. If you look at my comment history (you will lose faith in humanity) and see I don't play Ark anymore muchless official. 90% sure this is official PVE.


DanTheMan_117

If this is officials, report it to devs. Blocking drops is actually against the rules on pvp and pve.


Weekly-Bell9424

get an artro a wild one.Wait when the tribe is online and destroy it


gocrazy305

Yep this and pillar bombing drives me mad, made me quit this game 3 times because there was literally no place to build after trying a few different servers


Over-Shock-380

What about an arthroplura to destroy Tek and try not to die in the process


akvamarine69

PvE


spy8492

tame an arthro


akvamarine69

PvE


OLBiWanKantNoBEANS

Here is what you do. You tame an Arthropluera. And that's it. With a saddle you can bite it manually. Or you could just whistle attack target on enemy structures. Seeing as you are already in the desert there it wouldn't be much of an issue. I usually just pick one up with a wyvern and drop it into a body of water so I don't need bug repellent to feed it spoiled meat.


akvamarine69

PvE


ReferenceNew6816

Get an arthro and break them.


thisdckaintFREEEE

"New"


RadClark

Raise a bunch of trudons and leave them around them


TheDirtFarmer

If this is a official server make a report on the wildcard page and a nerd who works for them will come and wipe their base and Dino’s.


ArgumentExciting4200

Aggro a Arthropluera to it


xXBrandxezyXx

Come to r34l ark on unofficial. Active admin that doesn’t put up with this stuff.


Taolan13

Not new. Douchebags like this have been around since Ark was new.


SnideAugustine

This is why I have a private server with a bunch of friends who play. No bullshit other than what we’ve already consented to. XD


Educational-Walk2375

Lets start a petition to get rid of them


VaLightningThief

Seeing as his was PvE, yeah dick move, but when its PvP, I don't see the problem? It just means another team is holding and protecting it? If you didn't get it, tough luck? Edit: just wanna say, I'd never so this, nor am I that good to do it but I'm just sayin


notanotherkrazychik

Too bad you can't kite anymore....


[deleted]

Damn


Sinnester888

Wait I’m actually confused, how though? Last I checked you couldn’t build near a drop, especially not that close to it.


GDACK

If that’s on official then leave. Honestly, I’ve played about 2 hours on official and all I met were douchebags, which is weird because I’ve travelled most of the world through work and I’ve almost never met a “bad” person irl. Play on unofficial with friends; it’s much more fun 👍😊❤️


TwistedDecayingFlesh

This is why I started playing solo all those early access years ago. At least now the only one building anything anywhere is me and it's beautiful if not boring after awhile.


notarealredditor69

Ahhhhhh this takes me back


DannyTheCaringDevil

You’re surprised? There have been people covering entire maps and this comes as a surprise?


TGDNK

This isn't new lol


TheOriginalFluff

This is why in my 4k hours i havnt set a single foot on public servers


TheReaper1701

It's Tek, that's a easy break


XernnuTheMadlad

Average ark player


willpowerpt

Official PvP is only for lawless uncontrollable trolling (which can be very fun). If you want any sense of sanity, take a break and try a modded unofficial server. Get a chance to actually play the game, then when you go into PvP, you’ll be less likely to care about raids.
