Hi I'm Toast from the Ark Ragnarok Server [Steam name Porkies BBQ].
Apologies if this is not the correct forum, first post.

Love the Ark server, however I would like to suggest changing the settings to:
2x XP, 3x Taming and Breeding.

* This would reduce the heavy time commitment needed to breed especially but without
removing the challenge element.
* It may also attract more players as the server is reasonably low pop at the moment.

Please understand I don't want it to be easy [like many unofficials and attract twelvies ],
but just reduce the time.
Yes I know it takes time to play Ark, see my steam profile and Battle metrics for this server.
Cheers

It was in the wrong forum but I've moved it. Lowering the time to taming rate to 3x might be an idea but I'll have to run it past all the other server admins. We'll need to have a discussion about it. There is a small mod i found that helps speed up the taming but it feels a little too Op and makes taming rather too easy. I'll talk with the other guys and see what we can come up with.

[[MAG] Porkies BBQ]

As a compromise how about the breeding rate matching the taming rate [2x].
I am 2nd in all time hours on the server since move and I find it difficult
to breed successfully. 2x would allow more breeding and selection for mutations.
I find it is such a pain breeding that I am looking around for a good 2x server but there are few and would much rather stay here in this great community.
Cheers

I've spoken to most of the Admins and Rcons and majority are happy with the settings as they are and don't want it changed, so the chance of it changing are slim. It's already easy enough or too easy to tame some dinos etc so making it even easier probably wont happen. Once I've spoke to the last two I'll let you know the final decision.

That's cool about the taming, what about increasing breeding too 2x. Currently same as official and very time consuming.

Cheers

At this stage there will probably be no changes to the settings with Taming or Breeding etc.

One option I might look into is the despawn rate of your gear when you die but I've not mentioned it to any of the other admins or rcons.

[[MAG] Porkies BBQ]

That's a shame about the breeding.

I'm happy for these changes, as its pretty much the same as we had on the island, before Ragnarok.
Hitting rocks for hours on end, is painful. So is waiting for the dinos to get ready to mate, then be off line when it pops, and the dino dies.
May also need to look at Mature speed of the baby dinos too, as that will keep them alive.

Thank you for your support and suggestions.

[[MAG] Porkies BBQ]

Got this message too late, I just wanted 2x breeding for the reasons you mentioned but the reply above yours was basically no. Unfortunately I have already despawned my gear/dinos, bit ocd :), and stated on a server with 2x rates. I wish you and your great community well.

[[MAG] Za_Reaper]

Your gear, base, Dino’s are all is easily replaced.
We can find your back up file and copy over, which would revert you back to a previous time.
Or spawn in what you need.

I’d rather keep you on our server, but Ultimately the choice is yours.

[[MAG] Za_Reaper]

Had a chat with Ven0mate and we have increased Breeding cycle, and egg hatch to 2x speed..
We will try 6x baby maturing, and adjust it from there (yet to be done).

Thank you again Toast for your feedback, and helping us to create a better server for our players.
Ven0mate and I, are always open to suggestions.

Hi guys, is this Ark server still going? I'd love to join in if there are people who still play actively.

[[MAG] Za_Reaper]

Yes server is still going. It’s just been moved to the same machine as the Aberration Server.
Just search ‘Mature’

[[MAG] Za_Reaper]

Haugh, check out my Signature... Ragnarok is the middle one.
I'll get an Admin to update the homepage with the a new banner.
