Ark PVP: Season 2

I’ll be pushing through a wipe for the Ark PVP cluster on January 7th Brisbane time. This wipe will introduce a few rebalances to stack sizes, inventory sizes, blueprints and more.

The current maps have been around for a long time, housing PVP and PVE unmodded as well as PVP and PVE modded configurations. We never wiped going between mods and configurations, which includes going between 10x and 5x, so there’s a lot of history to address which has caused PVP to become extremely unbalanced.

This current wipe is the only wipe planned for the cluster. After this, the configurations will be soft locked going forward and I do not anticipate another wipe unless the player base requests it unanimously.

New Configuration

• XP: 1.0x (down from 2.5x)
• Harvest Health: 5.0x
• Harvest Amount: 2.5x
• Taming speed: 5.0x
• Wild dino food drain: 2.5x
• Hexagon rewards: 5.0x
• Breeding: 5.0x
• Supply Crates and Fishing Quality 1.0x (down from 2.5x)
• Player weight capacity starts at 250, increases by 50 with every point invested
• All stack sizes are now 5x
  • Ammunition capped to 150
  • Element Shards capped to 1000
  • Fertilizer and poop stack to 50
  • Wyvern Milk stack to 150
  • Bloodpack stack to 200
  • Ambergris stack to 300
• Floating damage text disabled
• Stamina will not recover when standing on a flyer
• Flyer speed levelling disabled
• Dinos can no longer have multiple C4 attached
• Spawn animations disabled
• Idle players will now be kicked after an hour
• Dupe item checks increased
• World save is now hourly instead of half hourly

I will get Dododex (and other calculators) configurations published soon.

Offline Raid Protection

I’ll be enabling ORP for the first month of the cluster wipe. This will give people some protection against early wipe raiding.

After that, all bets are off.
