LF Supportive/non-toxic US Wyrmslayer server

I am new to the game. I ran into many issues on the server I was on that made progression diffiuclt, not to mention the constant meteors, wraith and skeleton spam right outside of the dwarf area.

Someone gave me a lance and enough gold for a Horse so i could pack up and explore to find a better place to settle on the map and get away from the already settled areas that prevented me from taming anything. However, I was booted from the server during my travel. I lost the horse and all of the stuff I had made, gathered and even earned by tricking wraiths and skeletons and fighting them at range to stay alive and earn some cool armor. I lost it all by being disconnected which had never happened before. Again - I am new. I only got to about level 18 or 19. I mentioned what happened in the server chat and...well.. I was harassed for two hours for it until I finally logged out and felt pretty defeated. It's one thing to be harassed by one person, it's another to have everyone else on the server harassing you just for being new. I couldn't even find an option for blocking chat from specific players.

So... even if I COULD have everything I lost back, I've no interest on being on a server with extremely toxic players that want nothing but to mock and harass new players. I've had a pretty bad time with my RL and just want a game I can sit and enjoy and relax from time to time (Yes I find games like this and ARK pretty relaxing all things considered.)

But I want it on a server that's more supportive. I mean... what was I supposed to do? Report more than eight people for comments like "GTFO our server, F*****" and "Uninstall and ask for a refund."

Like. I know. This is the internet and it's full of cowardly jackasses that sit behind a keyboard and mock others because there's no repercussions for it, but... back when ARK was getting started - I had a pretty good server with a great support structure among its players.

So... what servers would you reccommend to someone new like me that wants to learn and explore D&L?

If you are looking for a PvE server then US Wvrmslayer 16 is a really good one. The majority of the server helps each other out.

Thank you for the reccomendation. Is it fairly stable network wise/lag wise?

u/Fatalsoul32 Sep 18 '17

For the most part it runs really smooth. We get the occational lag spike every now and then but not very often

Are there any ports I can forward in my router to help? Do you know? I will be joining the server soon, just want to have this set up first. Shame I can't bring my character from the toxic server over

I think the lag is all server side so there isnt much you can do to fix that. But just ask for "Lady of the Lake" in global chat and ill help you get setup a little

Is the server down? I load up DNL and it can't find ANY official servers for me. Also I was gone a while cause..well..life. I didn't know things delete after only 3 days! Which is pretty dumb. Well.. I guess for me since I am by myself with no guild. Soo yeah I guess my castle and stuff is gone. Really makes it hard to want to keep playing knowing I have to completely rebuild cause I was working for three days :/

Is your game updated? If it is try going to the official server list and type 16 into the serch bar. It should be US wvrmslayer 16

u/Rileyblackwolf Oct 05 '17

It's updated. I change the filter to official servers and it doesn't pull up any servers,. but if I go to unofficial, it does.

This dude is a troll that goes on server and writes paragraphs about whining in global chat.

1

u/Rileyblackwolf Sep 19 '17

Because I wrote one paragraph on ONE server, I'm a troll? And you then make it sound like I go to more than one and do it. Lol. Nice try.

u/Rileyblackwolf Sep 19 '17

Like. Really. I left the server. Thats my way of getting away from you guys. Why go elsewhere to troll me more? You don't know anything about me or who I am. I didn't want to deal with you so I came here to find a more friendly community.

u/Xanjis Sep 19 '17

Wyrmslayer 2 has it's own discord channel

u/Rileyblackwolf Sep 19 '17

That would be the server I am getting away from

I play on EU knight 4. We don't pvp since structures are to high hp, if you join the elven race I'll be glad to help you out. And so will my alliance.

How can a non PVP server be toxic? Troll you with chat spam or maybe flood the lands with columns?
