Founder Square Posted April 9 Founder Founder Report Share Posted April 9 What up folks. I've been pretty interested in getting back into ARK ever since our last go-about with a Synergy ARK Survival Evolved server. I wanted to quickly gauge how many people would be interested in playing if I were to put up a server. The nature of the server is for fun this won't be a monetized server or anything like that, but rather a space for community members to come together and play the game. I'm debating between putting up a full-blown server or just making a mega tribe on a pre-existing official or community server which could be a super fun idea as well. The game is currently on sale on Steam (HOWEVER PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS NEW REMAKE IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC INTENSIVE) If you have a potato for a computer I would not recommend purchasing it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2399830/ARK_Survival_Ascended/ Like I said this post is mostly to gauge interest. If you'd like you can join the old Synergy ARK Discord: https://discord.gg/Cy6UJCU3XM Link to comment
Founder Square Posted April 9 Founder Author Founder Report Share Posted April 9 Maybe we start as a mega tribe and ride it until we get raided. Then put the server up. Could be a fun venture. Link to comment
KillJoy Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 (edited) Honestly it would be fun to do. Especially the fact it can help people not feel burned out on the gmod server.

I assume with NXCore.gg that wouldn't be too much of an issue? Unless they dont support ARK. I just think that ASA is really just a graphics update. Alot of the issues from ASE are still prevalent Edited April 9 by Mystic Longest Special Operations Member on the server.

No, putting up a server is not an issue, I was merely pointing out that it would eliminate the other option which was the purpose of the poll. Link to comment

Honestly i'm for either, but i do think that going ASA is a bad route for the meantime. That's all i had feedback wise, my fault. Longest Special Operations Member on the server.

Luther Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Doesn’t matter to me, the only issue I see with creating a mega tribe is resource management and giving roles to specific people. Link to comment

I think they've been updating the game quite a bit. It varies from person to person depending on driver versions, installed applications in the background, region etc. It's definitely a game that can run well. The reviews are a good reflection of the game right now. Majority of even the newest reviews flocking in are still negative. I just find its hardly ideal to make people pay 25 for a graphics update or 35 if they didnt own the game prior. However i see the benefit of ASA if you guys plan to add purchasables. Is that a possibility? Sorry for the questions. I do remember the original Synergy ARK server, just never played it so i am unsure of how it ran in the past Edited April 10 by Mystic Longest Special Operations Member on the server.

Kurt Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 #removeARKserver #bringbackMilitaryRP Jokes aside, I personally don't think I'll ever play ARK due to how big the game is and how it can just chug my computer. It seems like a fun game but not for me. Current: Destiny 2 Sherpa | Human Hunter | Awoken Warlock | Exo Titan Former: Blackout x2, Jet x2, COE x2 Link to comment

It seems like a fun game but not for me. You can actually choose to not install things, my average ARK size is probably close to 70-80 gigs usually. There is also a technique online to further compress the game into about 30-40 gigs due to the poor ass optimization they used, It essentially compresses files until the game needs them/optimizes the asset files they use. It was a pretty popular trick back on Guild Wars 2 (if the embed/link isn't allowed to stay feel free to remove/edit my comment or hide it until i change it. Just wanted to link a reference, nothin else) Edited April 10 by Mystic 1 Report Longest Special Operations Member on the server.

Wheezy Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 All I'm going to add to this is that I understand that we get burnouts from Gmod and I know the feeling of being bored out of your mind with nothing else to do. But I do want to say that from my experience it has sometimes pulled away pop from synergy (not saying that this isn't a great idea and would be hella fun). As a community we have worked so hard to get the population going to where it's at now and recently I feel like it's almost starting to die out again. I would love to have something like this just because to have something else to do and it's a way for us to interact with people on synergy more, my idea for this could be like have whoever owns the server maybe bring it down 2-4 hours a day so stuff like this doesn't happen. Also, you could only have it open in the summertime and close it once the fall comes around (This is because everyone is out of school and pop on Gmod usually shoots right up a decent amount so having a few people that want to "main" the ARK server for a while won't hurt the pop as much as it would during the school year. BUT overall, I wouldn't mind something like this and would enjoy playing it. I would just like to have a few restrictions because I want to keep the pop on Gmod up throughout the time this ARK server is up. 1 Report Link to comment
