Tribe:Vendetta PvP

Salutations,

If you're looking to join a PvP server that makes amends for players that struggle with or suffer from simulator sickness, then look no further. Featuring admins with more than 5000 hours of admin experience via Steam oriented platforms (Rust, 7DtD, Ark) no assurances about whether or not they are playing fairly should ever arise. (However if challenged, screenshots of tames and/or a tour of their facilities can be arranged.)

Featuring ZERO TOLERANCE for griefing activity¹ hacking, glitching, duping, or similar events, Vendetta is a server that fosters the potential esprit de corps that many tribes and players find lacking on the official servers.

Vendetta is an East Coast (New York) based server run on the backbone of Blue Fang Solutions. CPU Priority is Above Normal. (I.E., no lag.) Maximum slots will be 40, until the server requires larger accomodations.

Do we still have your attention? Let's bullet the more important details:

• Downloads: Not allowed

• Third Person: Allowed

• Non-Hardcore

• PvP

• Crosshair: Disabled

• Floating HUDs: Allowed

• Map Player Location: Disabled

• Gamma Switching: Enabled

• Difficulty offset: Maximized

• 206.221.186.18:13774

• No exp, taming, resistance or damage modifications

Beyond these settings, the game will be played at the vanilla template that the devs have provided otherwise. (Adjustments might be made due to population spikes, via user preference over our up and coming Steam group.) Server wipes will be avoided at all costs.

Why these settings?

Downloads are off, because everyone starts at the bottom. Admins included. Anyone with familiarity with NVIDIA's control panel can adjust their gamma outside of the game. Until this is fixed, (akin to programming seen on Rust) everyone's on the same playing field. Third person isn't a negotiation. Some players are severely afflicted by symptoms associated with simulator sickness. Allowing everyone to access third-person while on foot alleviates this particular strain on said players, and once again, everyone's on the same playing field.

Crosshairs disabled because they negate the benefit of utilizing laser sights, and scopes in general. Map player location is not allowed because it discourages players from utilizing GPS, compasses, and sleeping bags to find their way around the map. Dinos are at maximum difficulty, frankly because this setting is required for players to have access to the nuances of taming high level creatures and also the potential for acquiring the most epic and rare loot.

If you feel that Vendetta can be the perfect place for you, (or your would-be tribemates) welcome to the server! Any questions or concerns can be directed on this post, or you can add me via Steam and we can chat. Assuming player population warrants it, a dedicated Teamspeak or Mumble server will be provided for players and tribes.

Cordially, Team Vendetta

¹ Griefing will be defined by:

• Camping or enclosing new player spawn points. If you build around a spawn point and trap new players, they will be "released" in an explosive and unpleasant manner. • Full base destruction/unnecessary base destruction. Straight up, it's not allowed. When you raid, you take out agressive guarding measures (sentry guns, guarding dinos) and then the LOOT. NOT THE ENTIRE BASE. Get in, get what you want or need, and then get out. • Kidnapping and drugging players. There's no benefit or gain for doing this outside of a raid scenario. • Repetitive and excessive executions of the same vulnerable tribe/players outside of a raiding scenario. • Wanton dinosaur destruction. If a dino is UNMOUNTED, AND set to PASSIVE, it's off limits, period. Even if it impedes your desire to access a certain part of that same tribe/player structure. Accidental destruction of a dino due to AoE during a raid will require admin consideration. (This DOES NOT include using tranqs, or if said dino is technically cave blocking.)

Violations of the rules can lead to 24/48/72 hour suspensions, base/dino destruction and/or outright steamid bans. All punishments will be administered by admins only, and vigilantism will NOT be tolerated.
