These changes will be taking place immediately. It is very important for us to see how SotF progresses and we want to make sure we’re making the right choices. We understand that these changes are quite big and will impact the future of game, but hope you can understand our reasons to do so and will continue to support the game mode you love. We are very excited to see what the release of the Development Kit will bring to SotF and where creative players will take it -- if you have some balancing or gameplay ideas, or simply want to see more creatures in the game, you can now make them happen! All the best, Wildcard Jat and the ARK: Survival of the Fittest Team. |

Going through our metrics and speaking to many players it was evident that this game mode, in it’s current state and the current state of SotF, showed that it was not the most optimal way to host tournaments or host a practical official competitive scene. This could of course change in the future, but for now we would like to steer away from 6 versus 6 and focus on our more popular team-game modes, 2 Player Tribes and 4 Player Tribes. 4 Player Mode
This means that we will be using this mode to decide the players who are invited to take place in the Offline Summer Cup Championship Tournament matches based in Shanghai during ChinaJoy, where they will meet up with and compete against 4 top Chinese Tribes. As this is now the Tournament mode, it will enforce Tournament Graphic Settings. Namely this will be minimum Medium Quality with ground clutter turned on for fair and competitive gameplay. Adjusted Match Times To make the 2v2 and 4v4 modes easier to play for people with less free time, we have adjusted the standard match times for these modes to 45 minutes (down from 60) for 2v2, and 60 minutes (down from 90) for 4v4. We’ve also added the Giganotosaurus, because Big Dinos :) Survivor League Finishing in the Top 10 no longer guarantees a prize. Where you place on the Survivor League does not determine how high cash-prize you could possibly win, but instead only determines whether you qualify for the shout-casted end-of-month Survivor League Tournament match (which will itself yield the prizes). To qualify for the Survivor League Tournament you must place within the cut-off by the last day of the month:
The Tournament Match This Tournament Match for each of the 3 Game Modes will take place on the first Saturday following the end of the month of the Survivor League qualification process. This means that the first tournament will then take place on: June the 4th. There will be 3 tournaments that take place that day at 12pm Eastern, all to be streamed and shout-casted on www.twitch.tv/survivetheark with a 15 minute delay. Qualification for the Tournament does not guarantee a cash-prize. To be eligible for a prize you must place in the Tournament Match:
The winners will be entitled the ‘Survivor League’ for that month, and the qualification process for the next tournament would have already been underway, as that will always begin on the 1st of every month. Survivor League Cash-Prizes Due to the immediate removal of 6 Player Mode, the cash-prizes for Survivor League must change. The new values are listed as: FFA
2 Player Tribes
4 Player Tribes
If a tribe does not have the maximum number of players, they will not receive the extra prize-pool. It is recommended that for these Tournaments, you are in a full-sized tribe to ensure that you have the opportunity to win the largest amount of prize available. A three-player tribe will not receive an extra $3500 for placing first. New Zero Tolerance on Teaming Players found guilty of illegal teaming with the intent to manipulate the competitive system will be absolutely permanently banned from Survival of the Fittest. This includes but is not limited to: Survival of the Fittest the game, Survivor League’s Qualification Process, Survivor League Tournament and all future Wildcard Sponsored Tournaments. We do not tolerate teaming, however we understand that there are certain elements of the game where teaming may occur naturally, or in some cases have no effect due to the skill-level of the game. We will evaluate teaming reports on a case-by-case basis and collect video evidence to prosecute offenders. We will have an in-game report system, as well as in-game monitoring conducted by the Wildcard GM Team. The slate was wiped clean at the end of the first Survivor League, we will not be so lenient going forward. Don’t team, it’s not worth the disqualification! Sportsmanship We understand that in the heat of the competition, emotions can get the best of us. We would like to remind all players to ensure that they have respect for each other during the games, you do not have to enjoy the company of the people you’re playing against, however there is no need to hurl verbal insults or harass members of the community, one which you’re a part of. We would like to make it clear that in future circumstances, players found showing a poor sense of sportsmanship may risk being banned from Survival of the Fittest. This includes but is not limited to: Survival of the Fittest the game, Survivor League’s Qualification Process, Survivor League Tournament and all future Wildcard Sponsored Tournaments. Summers Cup Championship Due to the removal of the 6 versus 6 mode, there will be some necessary changes that will be made to the Summers Cup to take place at ChinaJoy in Shanghai.
We’d also like to address some points that we’ve seen from the Community in regards to the Summer Cup:
These changes are made effective immediately in order to create a better League and competitive environment for our community and the game. We’re going to release the patch so that you guys can start playing and get a feel for how everything is running. Thank you again for your ongoing support and we looking forward to hearing your feedback and making the necessary adjustments to improving the game. All the best, Wildcard Jat and the ARK: Survival of the Fittest Team |
