ARK: Survival Evolved: PVE Servers Added with 1.60 Patch

BillMurphyBillMurphy Former Managing EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 4,565

The Steam Community Hub (essentially serving as ARK's main forums) has been updated with a new patch this morning. Along with several fixes to server filtering and types, Studio Wildcard is opening 9 new PVE servers for folks who don't want the Kill-on-Sight sort of survival game the genre's known for.

As of 4am ET (don't ask me why I'm up), the official servers seem to be down still, but when they come back up PVE-loving players like myself might just have a new home. Stay-tuned to the site later today for our first impressions of the rather-fun sandbox MMO.

    Looks interesting. Wonder if this title is appealing to me as H1Z1...

    I find ARK more interesting for sure. I like Rust more than H1Z1 though and ARK is more similar to Rust, although more to do.

    Must admit, i ended up watching itmejp on twitch this morning, playing this game, they had even tamed this huge bird and it was fighting alongside them, although he was trying to setup the agro ai on it, as the thing went on a killing spree all by itself at one point, which was impressive and kind of hillarious, i think if you can get into this game with a bunch of friends, it is probably a very fun experience. image

    This is something that always happens, if players get a choice between PVE and PVP, then PVE is the first choice, and have to say, this game looks great for Co-op gameplay, challenging and kind of fun image

    Yep! Just mousewheel out. It's stuck over the shoulder like Mass Effect or Defiance though.

    Well, you can view 3d person. Also by presing K but I think he/she also wanna hit gather etc etc And that cant be done in 3d person. Only fps ^^

    You would like to Co op with your wife but she wants a 3rd person, right? I say go for it.
  • OyjordOyjord Member UncommonPosts: 571
    I'd also like to know if there's a third-person mode? If so, I'm in.

    I'll second that. Definitely go for it, especially since we now know you can enjoy the 3rd person even when you're not mounted. If your wife is still getting sick from the view then, well.. dunno what to tell you.

    Have you tried adjusting the FoV sliders? I know a few people that suffer from motion sickness in fps games but if they adjust the FoV slider to a wider view it helps alleviate the issue.

    Do the servers hold a lot of people? Is it a massive mmo game or do they hold like max 200 people? I will buy it if it is like H1Z1 where the servers hold a lot of people, like 1000 or more.

    Saw 1 private server that was 100/100 people.

    While looking into the game I see Steam has updated their refund policy to make it easier for gamers to get a refund even if it's just because they didn't like the game.
