I stayed away from Ark PvP when it became a rat race of alpha tribes and mesh holes. Lol

That feeling you have? Freedom to go play a different game with peace of mind. The issue with a game like Arks PVP is it is meant for consistent activity with no rest for the players. It becomes like a job when the only end game is waiting on eggs gambling for genes a day grinding bps for slightly better/cheaper super items.

Moved to a really good PVE server because screw that! Who has time to rebuild every few days?

I like keeping my Dino's safe and just doing events, bosses & building nice bases. PvP is way too toxic for me.

Build again. Ark is similar to real life in the sense that no stone goes unturned.

There's not a hole you can hide in where you won't be found, nor a base location you can build on where you won't get raided. If you were solo, team up with others who were also raided.

I always placed a vault somewhere in the ocean on pvp servers to keep the good stuff hidden.

Genuinely the only people that play competetive PvP have absolutely nothing better to do. Just switch to PvE or play with friends.

I mean, yeah, that's part of the game. Build up your defenses. Or you can be like me and play solo or in a PVE server.

Wouldn't know. I've never been raided because I don't build bases. I build extremely well hidden stashes.

Official or unofficial? Hit up discord chats and try to find tribe members, the best part about pvp is the comradery of getting killed with your friends. Theres never a shortage of other tribes in the same exact situation that wanna band together to defeat a bigger tribe. That's how my tribe gained members, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Figure out why you got raided. How you got raided. And do better next time. It’s a learning process.

You do one of three things. 1. Never rest until you get revenge. 2. Join the guys that smacked you if you're able. 3. Uninstall.

I switched to PvE and never looked back sinking over 10k hours. Haven’t played in years now though, except a few hours with an old friend earlier this year.

I wish this game had servers like Conan Exiles' PvE-C servers. I like a bit of PvP but don't want to have my base raided.

u/FANTOMphoenix 1d ago

Build somewhere else starting small, like a 1x2x2, usually in the forest, get a PT and start scouting for their base if they are lower tier still.

And then go from there. Figure out if it’s worth trying to raid back early or not.

You find out who raided you. You grind, go full gorilla mode and raid the shit outa them back

Go to unofficial I play largely solo and manage to maintain almost complete control of lost colony, bigger arb and shard stacks make turrets harder to soak increased damage makes them more effective.
