As we continue our road to becoming a true gaming community, I'd like to put up a vote for additional game channels. These channels would be for games that we don't actually host, but players would like to have friends and teammates to play with.

Some examples would be:

Overwatch
World of Warcraft
League of Legends
Fortnight
etc

These channel categories would act the same as the current Ark and Conan channels by only being available when added to the role (which will be listed in the help section for the bot once we add the commands).

Please let us know in your replies what games you guys play and would like to get groups going on the most.

Gimme some diversity:

Thank you all for voting, the two logos we'll be moving forward with will be:

Gear Logo - 12 votes
S Logo - 9 votes

All logo submitters will still be receiving 'Backer' status as a show of thanks for their hard work and contribution to the community!

Choices:

1. Jester Gear Logo
2. Whatz S Logo

Critique:
I really like the fonts in both the gear logo and S logo so I'm not sure which one I like better. For the S logo I'd also use the gold secondary colour somewhere (maybe the font or something similar).

How to vote:

1. Choose your favourite design concept
2. Reply below with your top 2 choices
3. Add any additional critiques or changes you'd like to see along with your choices

What to think about when voting:

1. These are First Drafts and are not finalised. We can change icons, colours, fonts, etc. You're choosing your favourite concept.
2. Take into consideration the various sizes and uses each logo will be scaled to utilise (Discord channel avatar, website favicon, server banners, social media backdrops, etc)
3. It is not required to be able to gather the communities entire history just from looking at the logo. We'd like a good representation of what we do, but the 'brand' will self-identify with the people part of the community anyway(like the multi-coloured ball that means Google Chrome, or Apple's...ummm...apple logo)

Here they are:

DemiCata Controller Logo

Crypt MouseShield Logo

CataDemi Keyboard Logo

Jester Gear Logo

Whatz S Logo

Zac Crosshair Logo

Please remember that these can all be modified. Colours, fonts, icons, etc are not finalised.

Thanks for your support!

Please indicate below if you would be interested in adding a Cross Server Chat function for people to talk while on different maps.

This would simply show all chat in the general chat window during game.

We discourage players from attacking tribes who are largely defenseless so you have a loose protection starting out. This isn't to say that another player of equal footing can't come and attack you, but you shouldn't get wiped by, say, a tribe with a full metal base and high level dinos.
PvP is a pretty fast paced game mode for Ark. You'll need to make sure you always look at your base with enemy eyes, trying to see where holes in your defenses are and covering them.
Also, you'll want to craft and ORP pillar as soon as possible. This increases your structure HP by 45x and your dino HP and damage by the same. This will greatly help, but not totally prevent, your base from being raided offline.
Build smartly, make allies, and engage in proper diplomacy and you'll usually do fine!

Good Luck!

We have a mod that protects passive dinos if they have an empty inventory and set to passive. I would highly suggest using that option.
I will try to contact this player for response.
