Skyfall PvX is growing and we need to fill a couple of new positions. Having the right people in these positions will help grow our community even more, which is beneficial to us all. We use lots of web-based systems for staff jobs and events so require more reading than most other Arks servers. You must be familiar enough with our events and discord and systems to advise new players. Contact Ramsonne on our discord with interest.

We do not hire Administrators without knowing you personally. The positions below are good stepping stones toward that position if you might have interest for the future. Generally speaking, get involved. Be active ingame. Be active on our discord. If you want to be a staff member, especially Admin, demonstrate a willingness to teach, assist, and welcome new players to our server.

Promoter

We need players who enjoy our server to help promote it to new players. Promote interest in our server events and get commitment from player participants. We have a few advertisements on third party websites like Reddit and Disboard that you can bump and comment on. You would also seek out quick reviews from our players. Write reviews of your own. You will greet new players ingame and invite them to our discord. In discord, you mentor new players,.. educating them on our rules, events, and website. Must read and write fluent english.

Watchdog

These are players who have access to exclusive features on the player Dashboard on our website for sending audio/text alerts to Admins for important issues such as Hackers on the server or if the server unexpectedly goes offline. They also scour the map regularly, looking for abandoned structures and tames to enter in our Abandoned Assets list. Skyfall PvX has Structure Decay toggled off so we need to delete things manually. To mitigate the chances of accidentally deleting the assets of an active tribe, we use an Abandoned Assets listing on our discord that updates daily. Players are expected to review it regularly and claim their assets before we delete if they find themselves accidentally on the list.

Cartographer

This is a simple, but helpful role. We need someone to regularly post the most recent Dungeon maps in our discord.

Mercenaries

Skyfall Mercenaries either assist player tribes for a short while or fight against them during an event. It depends on the event whether you are helping them farm, build, or pvp. The goal is for our community to have fun. So you do not need to be excellent at pvp, as many of our players are novices to it. But you do need some experience with a variety of game mechanics. Understand how explosives and turrets work and the like. Know how to tribute caves successfully. Have experience in quickly farming for and building large bases. Maturity and humility required. As well as the capacity for following directions. When it comes to pvp, we dont want our mercs slaughtering our players. We want fair fights for them.

Skyfall PvX is an unofficial Ark mobile server being run by Skyfall tribe. We have been playing together since 2019 and have earned a reputation for honesty and fair play. We run our server(s) similarly. We’ve chosen PvX because there are so many cheats in the game. We want to afford players the chance to keep their bases safe from hackers in PvE, yet promote play in PvP zone with rewards placed there.

Sales Pitch

Our admins provide unique and fun events, mostly in the PvP zone, that offer premium loot to promote PvP play while offering bases protection from hackers in the PvE zone. We diligently monitor our playerbase for cheats, along with the help of player Bounty Hunters. We employ proprietary web based systems for our players’ use that improve both event quality and cheat monitoring.

Highlights

• Our events are unique and most feature an element of PvP. Several make use of our proprietary web-based interface. Event rewards offer rare and premium loot such as Tek, Eerie Turrets, Collars, OP Tames, and more.
• No server transfers.
• Our Admins are Skyfall tribe members that exercise fair, unbiased judgement.
• Quick response Ticketing System for ingame support.
• Web-based cheat reporting and player Alert systems.
• We promote discord registration for all players.

Skyfall is now running a PvX server. A true PvX, with a rectangular PvP zone in the center of the map and PvE to the outside regions. This decision was made due to the rampant griefers maliciously wiping servers with hacks.

You may, of course, build in either zone. Skyfall admins will continue to keep our numerous events PvP oriented by positioning them at least in part in the PvP zone. The PvP Zone will have rewards that offer rare and premium loot such as Tek, Eerie Turrets, Collars, OP Tames, and more to encourage play there.

Having switched to a PvX format, abandoned structures in PvE are no longer able to removed by other players with force. Therefore, we will very soon be activating Structure Decay. This means you must refresh your structures weekly as on official servers. Likewise, your tames must be refreshed regularly as well or they will go wild.

Skyfall Builders will also be more prolific with their Raidable Base building. Generally, tougher bases will be deeper into the PvP zone and have better loot. Do not be surprised to occasionally see Skyfall Builder players defending their assets. As a reminder, these events are the only time in which you may attack Skyfall staff.

Skyfall PvP server will be opening to the public in short order. Likely within the next week. It will be an EASY PvP server. We have been running it for a while now on Medium. This means the first settlers on our server will have access to higher level wild dinosaurs that will not be available in the wild later. We will expand the number of player slots as the community grows. You can read some general information about gameplay in our FAQs.

Cheating

Cheats/hacks are not permitted on our server. All players should read and be clear on our #rules prior to playing on our server. You should review them regularly to keep up on changes.

Events

Skyfall tribe runs the server under two official staff tribes. Skyfall Builders tribe holds regular player events for the enjoyment and betterment of the player community. Skyfall Masters are the Game Administrators. Supporting members are encouraged to offer suggestions for improving our community. You can read about some of our events on our website.

Discord

As with most private Ark servers, we rely heavily on Discord for communication among players and staff. In fact, each of our players is required to register an account on our Discord server. You can use this link to join.

Donations

Donations are what keep our server(s) running. Managing private servers takes time and money. You can contribute to the community here on our Donations page. Monthly memberships offer players helpful and interesting rewards as a thank you for your support.
