Although I completely disagree with your list 😂 it's so interesting how different people take the novelties of every map and like or hate them, and how much people can experience the game differently
I really enjoyed your list 👍. Aberation is still the best in my opinion, the atmosphere is just so different from all the other maps. Besides all the hate and toxicity in the community I truly hope they capture that in there remake. The Center in ASA is really good and I also enjoyed Scorched Earth way more than in ASE.
Yeah you if you just ignore the fact that PvP exists it’s not terrible, one bad thing is that any high quality mods that would’ve been free is Ase are now gonna be like ten bucks in Asa and like none of that actually goes to the creator
Fascinating. As a new player, barely two months in and still in the Island, I do have to consider which one to go to next. I’m really enjoying my experience of Ark. I started out merely trying to survive on the southern beaches, to finding Obsidian and Crystal rich places, to where I am now. Right now I’ve been caving and finding Artifacts and my battle team of Yutys, Daodon and T rex squad absolutely destroyed the Gamma Broodmother. I’m 2/3 artifacts down before I fight the Gamma Ape boss. Admittedly I’m a little apprehensive about my first attempt at an underwater cave. I hope that my Basilosaurus and pack of well levelled Megalodons will do the trick. I’ve never really liked the underwater biome, mostly because the wildlife aggro you no matter what mount I pick. And I absolutely despise the electric eel and glowing jellyfish things. Oh well, I enjoy the rest of the Island experience although caving is very low on the “fun stuff to do” list. It’s just been such a fun journey of development from basic day to day survival against Dilos on the beaches, to seeking out particular resources to start building technology, to going after the artifacts and bosses. All I know is that I will follow the storyline maps in order of release/storyline to get a smoothish story experience even if I do have to watch TH-cam videos to get the explorer notes in order to understand it. But the unofficial maps? I don’t know which one to try first. Given my fondness for the crystal wyvern that a tribe mate gave me on my multiplayer character I’ll probably try Crystal Isles next.
My list! 12. Gen 1 11. Gen 2 10. Aberration 9. Fjordur 8. Crystal isles 7. Scorched Earth 6. Valguero 5. Extinction 4. The Centre 3. The Island 2. Ragnarock 1. Lost Island Unpopular opinion but I really don’t like playing on aberration, and as for fjordur I just don’t like it, I get a bad vibe from it and the map itself just makes be feel bored.
Biggest issue i had with Gen 1 was inability to build because of "Mission area". If that is fixed with ASA version it could be good. Gen 2 was interesting in it's own way but even when having tek suit from the start makes sense in the story it kind of made the gameplay lacking in exploration, also there are no caves on that map apart from Rockwell innards or whatever it was called. The Center map was one of the most dated maps out there. ASA release made it a little better but even after all that time it is still unfinished. Didnt play Valguero that much but visually it's great map. Extinction makes survival much harder and Titans are much better bosses than the Island guardians. Didnt play Crystal Isles much either but visually it's great map. Scorched Earth always felt like there was something missing and everything becomes way too easy once you get a wyvern. Lost Island combined a lot of previous content and added new creatures like Sinomacrops that easily became very popular. I never liked Island map mainly because of how incredibely difficult it is to find good levels on that map. Abberration obviously became one of the best maps as its content got added to so many other maps. Ragnarok is very unique map and its why it easily became one of the favorite ones. Fjordur is quite different from everything else out there and Nekatus did amazing job. Fjordur have so much to explore from jungles over winter biome to little bit of space biome. Fjordhawk easily became one of the best shoulder tames because it brings you your bag with everything you had on you when you died.
I personally put Crystal Isles last I don't know if it's because I played it when it was first released as an actual Arc map but it felt so unfinished and unpolished that I genuinely dislike my time playing. Valguero for me would be a much better map if it just had an actual genuine ocean and not just a deep lake. Ragnarock is by far the best map and it's not even close
I personally think That the Biomes im Gen1 on their own are the best in the game but the fact that its not one map you can traverse through just destroys it for me
My rating: 1: Fjordur 2: Ragnarok 3: Gen 2 4: Lost island 5: extinction 6: Crystal isles 7: Abberation 8: The center 9: The island 10: Gen part 2 11: Schorched earth 12: Valguero
Bro wtf are you on, gen part 1 and 2 are both pretty bad, nobody likes the mission and there just always in your face and you hate every time you are forced to do one, only being able to teleport between biomes makes everything feel claustrophobic and the teleporting takes way too long. There is literally no livable area in the entire map, just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean it’s fun, the only nice biome is that water one but there’s like 0 land. All the creatures are also ass, magmasaur sucks, bloodstalker can only be viably used on that map, ferox is too expensive to be able to freely use it, astrocetus is too late game to be relevant and the teleoport ability lets you go like 3 ft forward, and I don’t even wanna mention the megachelon I think that creature was immediately forgotten. I can literally list some many things that suck about that place, Abberation is fun and difficult, genesis is difficult and just difficult
Bro you really put Aberration at 3rd, have you ever played the Map in its entirety... It is the one map with the most Bugs, the fact that new players would be put off the game entirely if they start with this map, resources are harder to find and procure on this map than any other and many other issues. Aberration has had so much work, tweaks and fixes done to it and yet it is still a buggy mess even now... the Devs just gave up on it in the end
Although I completely disagree with your list 😂 it's so interesting how different people take the novelties of every map and like or hate them, and how much people can experience the game differently
Literally man, everyone always has different rankings to each other and I appreciate that you acknowledge that! 🙌
@@Noctvrnlyt So why make a Tier list?
I really enjoyed your list 👍.
Aberation is still the best in my opinion, the atmosphere is just so different from all the other maps.

Thanks bro! Yeah aberration truely is one of the best maps, can’t wait to see it in Ascended 😍
Yeah they’re not even mad about the game. They’re mad because of pay to win aspects. You don’t really HAVE to buy this stuff.
Yeah you if you just ignore the fact that PvP exists it’s not terrible, one bad thing is that any high quality mods that would’ve been free is Ase are now gonna be like ten bucks in Asa and like none of that actually goes to the creator

Ragnarok is my all time favorite map! I can't wait to see it in UE5 :)

7. Scorched Earth
6. Valguero

Unpopular opinion but I really don’t like playing on aberration, and as for fjordur I just don’t like it, I get a bad vibe from it and the map itself just makes be feel bored.
LOVE lost island but fjord at 9 is insane
@@grazzhopper6799 I hate fjord. In my opinion it is BY FAR a the MOST OVERRATED map ever created in a video game.

For me still Ragnarok is nr 1 but I like this list.
i feel like gen 1 is really fun when you survive for more than 1 second

Valguero for me would be a much better map if it just had an actual genuine ocean and not just a deep lake. Ragnarock is by far the best map and it's not even close
Exactly how I would rank all the maps. Maybe switch Fjordur and Aberration around. Might be because I haven't played Fjordur much.
Scorched earth is peak cause the challenge persists till later game
Good to know bro I'm on ragnarok At the moment it's pretty fun
Yeah of the best maps in the game for sure 🔥
Great vid and to be honest dude to each their own. As it is an opinion however we’d all lost it differently. Still great vid!
Thanks bro! Yeah of course man and that’s the beauty of these ranking videos!
Super underated TH-camr, the only thing I would change is extinction being number two
Thanks man, yeah Extinction is definitely underrated in my opinion!
@@Noctvrnlyt the only thing i did not like about it was if you got to close to the edge of the map boom your dead and all your gear is gone
Yeah true, does make sense lore wise but was definitely annoying for sure
advantages and disadvantages of crystal wyvern
1: there easy to get
2: there the weaker wyverns
I didn’t believe this guys sub count at first, when I was watching I figured he had like 100k quality content bro keep. More please!! 😁
Thank you so much! 🙌
Hopefully they dont fck up aberration in ASA, its my favorite map :')
1 month till it drops
@@ninjakgaming wasn't it planned to drop in Septembre?
Genesis 1 is one of my favourites
Unpopular opinion: Gen 1 is good, especially the Bog and Ocean (I love the water in ark)
Yeah I agree I love the ocean biome on gen1 but overall the map experience is really disjointed (in my opinion!)
Isn’t it like impossible to complete solo or is that gen 2
@@Cosmo918 no don’t worry you’re right it is gen 1 that is impossible to finish solo 😂
@@Noctvrnlyt In Asa they must fix Gennisis 1 and make it easier to complete on solo
I personally think That the Biomes im Gen1 on their own are the best in the game but the fact that its not one map you can traverse through just destroys it for me
How are genesis part 2 and 1 bad They're honestly good Like I rate them like above Extinction
Seems like he feel 1 to hard and 2 to easy lol. I really liked Gen 1
Abberation on top! Very fair ranking tho
Thanks!
Kickass video
@@austinstoner6270 Thanks! 🔥

Pretty much a perfect map!
Your hella underrated my guy
Aha thanks bro! 🙌
No problem man, I expect to see you with millions of subscribers someday
My 2nd favourite map and the hardest rated the worst what?!?
Just my personal preference!
@@Noctvrnlyt its the most challenging on PVE and the best base spots on PvP
