imagine spawning in walking idk into the forest and you see a huge metal base with turrets again instead of having to walk into caves with tek turrets sounds amazing
Sounds stupid as fuck.
I don't see that happening pearl caves still exist on the island
@@LimWasKitted yeah but with the cave nerf who knows
I imagine with how they will be canonically re-releasing maps and changing building/caves we will have some good old fashioned pvp for the first few months maybe more
funny how that's how it was in 2015-early17 the golden age of ark...
A change i would like to see is some kind of graphics settings that don't allow people to basically remove folliage and camo entirely from the map. Always bugged me that people could turn detail off and basically see through grass etc. You should be able to realistically hide you and your base above ground easier.
Also for that matter, being able to turn gamma up to daylight level completely invalidates night as a mechanic in the game and takes away from the stealth and survival aspects.
i remember doing a raid and waiting till night. I had my gear all painted black and was hiding in the bushes sniping. Man, legacy was the shit!!!!!!
@@FATMAC2I remember doing my first raid too… man that was the shit wasn’t it
My main issue with the night is that the night in Ark is way darker than the night IRL. If the game had realistic night visibility, varying with the phase of the moon, etc, it would feel like a well thought out part of the gameplay experience. But currently, it just feels broken and the gamma settings a tool for fixing it. Additionally there need to be more kinds of portable light sources. I'd like the ability ti carry the torch off hand, as well as some upgrades over the torch for both your off hand and for putting on dino saddles.
@@XerainU can put torch on the saddle of a dino.
@@Xerain actually, the reason its so bright irl is because of light pollution, from all the cities, theres always a lot of light around. Which is why stars aren't very visible anymore in most major areas.
The stars in ark's skies are ridiculously clear, which implies there is little to no light pollution from unorganic light sources, so Ark's nights are actually what night would look like in the absolute wilderness with no civilization in sight.
Man no cryos or nets is gonna be crazy, I miss the wayyyy old days when I first started playing and just chilled on the beach living next to like 4 other bases not even attacking each other and this feels like what they are trying to do. If WC can properly release ASA lots of Legacy players will come back.
Here's hoping they can deliver and won't leave us hanging.
That's cuz ppl were new, I promise that wouldn't happen today even on ASA
@@Capnawesome00 yeah even tho its primitve it wont be nothing like the start of ark, people with have tek in days
bro they was the best days i played since launch and miss the days when no one knew what they was doing
If you miss the old ways why don't you play ark on switch its 10 dollars
@@scargamer0022 i doubt its the same man
The member-berries are real. I'd love to run it back on a legacy style experience where everyone communicated with each other daily and created a vibe amongst themselves on each server. The mega tribe servers will of course exist, but even a glimpse of that old-school atmosphere would be legendary.
@@FATMAC2You member? I member.
Facts! that was the most addicting experience of my gaming life ever and I felt like I lived on the ark. In the very beginning we had a little boat town official pvp legacy server center 379. Those were the good ol days and now its just meh but im excited for October
Today we discuss Ark Survival Ascended (Asa) and 5 of the biggest changes we know that are coming so far! what do you guys think of these changes?
Better
Better
I’m a PVE Baby, so yee, better, but PVP players on unofficial will be mad-
cryo pods were added to the base game and I really hope they keep it that way. for a casual player with a life away from the keyboard theyre a godsend.
Cryopods were the beginning of the end of classic ark, and they basically gave alpha tribes even more of an advantage than they already naturally had. You are a casual player? Cryo hurts more than it helps you. You a PvE player? Then I don't see how it matters at all one way or the other
@@someone-ji2zb im sure someone could just mod them in for the pve crowd anyways.
@@Firenbrimstone Probably
@@someone-ji2zb i play on a small tribe (6 people max and no alliances) cluster with great admins. so alpha tribes arent really much of an issue for me and the rest of the server as its really hard for a 6 person squad to dominate. also the lag pre-cryopod was mental and just made shit playable
@@someone-ji2zb idk if thats a joke or not but cryos also helped smaller tribes to store tames + it was never easyer to get lines i remember when they got added i waited hours on obis for someone to cryo stuff and then kill them xD
Alpha tribes now are already planning a server takeover. Unless the meta changes they will be in power on day 1 or 2 and all of the artifacts will be guarded and defended. Tek will be in play that soon as well. Again unless the meta changes alpha tribes will be able farm ele just doing boss runs. And being alphas you know they going to have that sh!t running 24/7. I feel Wildcard needs to come up with a meta for solos to have a chance on servers like that.
yep thats what im worried about i hope there is some way to stop alpha prim locking other tribes
I would either eliminate tek entirely or divorce it from being gated behind raiding, so that everyone can get it once they are high enough level.
Meta doesn't matter. Megas/alphas will ALWAYS take over. And no, ANYTHING they do that benefits solos, will benefit larger tribes on a larger scale.
The game is MEANT to be played in a group. It's how they intended it. Solo is fun, but you're limited in what you can do because of that.
Solo is almost impossible in ARK PvP.
Either play PvE or at least play some SmallTribe or something and find a few friends to play with in a small group.
Just network and get in with a mega tribe. If you're that worried. If you can't beat them, join them.
You forgot the Rhyniognatha, probably one of the most meta tames in 1.5's release.
true i was still curious to see if we get that straight away with the island release. i know its an island tame but seems so op haha
That was probably the worst creature they've added to the game
@@Justlivin00not even close to managarmr from the Extinction release. That dino was the beginning of the end, the game has gotten too tek-y and dinos are way too powerful now
@@jredacted8229 If i remember right its breath attack had full damage on anything within render distance it was nuts. Unlimited jumps and was able to breath attack underwater activated it before going under.
@Firenbrimstone don't forget getting dismounted when frozen and you were frozen till the mana stopped lol
I’d be pretty stoked to see these changes. No cryos will be huge. A lot more need for flyers like the quetz to be useful again.
Can it do 60fps on ps5?
Loved the old metal runs
good old days with flying quetz with turrents so called flying tanks haha
Love the removal of space creatures man - take us back to old school tames 100%. Balance and skill above all else
As someone who only started playing Ark about a year ago (Solo, dedicated server), I have mixed feelings about the Crypopods. I feel they are both essential and OP at the same time.
My thoughts are that they should limit the number of cryo pods you can carry at one time, as well as make them harder to construct. Maybe cap the cryos you can carry to somewhere in the 3-6 range. Similarly they could cap the total number of cryo'd dinos you can have at one time in storage. it would be a lot higher, but not so high as to render needing to build a base to protect you dinos moot.
No Cryopods will ruin the game. I know that my tribe and like 7 other tribes that were all in a discord with who were talking about playing aren’t buying the game if there’s no cryos. Not only that I’ve seen tons of people in the official ark discord say they are not buying the game if there’s no cryos. No cryos brings back tame sniping, harder imprints and tedious raising, no underwater bases, walking tames across the map, mass lag from so many Dino’s sitting out, people can have less Dino’s overall, less base spots to build means less people playing which means less pvp, gives a lot more problems for solos and smaller tribes not being able to get their tames around easy, and a lot more. The cons heavily outweigh the pros but unfortunately all these people are spamming the “old school” propaganda so I’m worried for what’s to come.
Edit: on that note, Cryopods are now an engram available on all maps so I don’t see a reason why they wouldn’t be in the game on launch as they aren’t an extinction exclusive anymore, and they are basically an essential QOL feature. I think the keeping it old school idea is more referring to things like mining drills and net guns and batteries, etc.
I’m excited for this no transfer, limited tek but I love primitive plus and hated the tek portion of the game which sort of ruined everything. They still need to consider a offline or raid protection. Honestly implementing something similar to Atlas where you have to have a flag or some sort of claiming element and you only can build in that it would give some of the smaller communities a chance to fight.
Atlas is the only game I have more hours than Ark, in. Those flag mechanics have problems of their own. Only "alpha's" (and some very skilled small groups) can manage to hold onto an island that has the rotating peace phase you're talking about. The middle ground, where you have claim towers in lawless, are worse than just pure lawless (when I say lawless, that's Ark's mechanic of no territory mechanics). You can simply destroy an enemy claim tower, put yours up, and it'll flip ownership of structures and ships that are worth hours more work than the tower. No perfect solution, and don't get me wrong...the claim mechanics can be fun. But honestly, I won't miss them when jumping back into Ark.
@@tituspullo3946 very true, I wish there was a good solution for casual players that just want to play like in 10 man tribes. Besides the 6 man tribes and doing just costume servers. I haven’t played atlas for 2-3 years but I remember when I was with URXP we would always put hour flag in some crazy high place. But that’s not the case for Ark’s topography.
Another potential thing is to only allow server transfers during a certain time of day. Like from 6-12 in the evenings for that servers time zone. It would help with lag too. I don’t know if y’all have noticed but when there are no server transfers during like a new map release the lag isn’t bad it gets bad after they implement transfers.
@@jonathanpotter1745 Not a bad idea! Last time I came back to Ark, the thing I hated the most is how serious pvpers had switched to living out of the obelisks instead of just using them for transfers.
I’d personally be happy with a flak, longneck locked tech. A primitive server with exactly what you are talking about. Simple, open. Smaller tribes/solos revisiting those swamp 2x1 bases with strategic plant species x.
Literally you and 90% of the playerbase that already quit feel this way. Monkey devs don't get it.
What I’d love to see is individual balancing for pve and pvp official servers
Wish on one hand and shit in the other
Im really Happy about all changes, except the one about the Cryopods, i understand it makesthe game more interesting but beiing someone who doesnt have the time to wake up 2 times a night to imprint a Giga, it would make it really hard. At least, it wont be like back in the day when you had variable imprint timers but still.
No cryopods is the best thing on this list. They ruined the game.
yea no cap work for the imprint back in the days 100% imprinted dinos were fairly rare and thats what made them that more valuable in pvp. ud care far more for a dino u had to wake up and imprint to 100% then the ones of today like now i dont give a single sh*t about my dinos could int 100 gigas and wouldnt even care. back in the days i cared for only 1 and tbh 8h intervals are pretty big buff to begin with instead of 3-4h as they used to be
not to mention tek troughs today and stacks of 40 meat instead of 20 back in the days
@@malimalac1361yeah no one with a life has time for it. This is a game not a job.
@@Justlivin00 no they doesnt. you ppl are just a bunch of crybabys
@@Justlivin00 Cryopods in PvP yes but the PVE aspect of them was good imo
just wanna say ive seen some of the things that unreal engine does automatically and it will let you render the entire map and everything on it at once. that means if u fly high u can see a base on top of a mountain across the entire map. no rendering anymore with ue5 and thats what im most excited for.
I wonder if this fixes/removes all those "leave render" strategies like the daedon eating it's whole inventory at once to recover food fast
Only downside to cryopods being performance? Imagine having to tame everything you use again instead of being able to raid for them. I was around for the original release, and filling prim troughs constantly, logging into staving Dino’s, losing tames to upload trying to raid off server because maps go down, and having to walk 100’s of tames around a map made an already time consuming game way over the top. I agree there’s a few things that need scaling back, but cryos aren’t one of them.
yeah i wasnt thinking about that side of things. its been so long i forgot how bad it was. i was around too :P just like the idea of how good it was having all the dino outside and map feeling more alive
The experience of scouting and fighting as you pushed brontos and such up to a desired fob location was glorious but i do agree that the sdeveral hours spent to establish that point is a bit much to ask for from people these days. Man those memories feel so good though lol
Disagree. Cryos are definitely nice, but they also put the game in a terrible state. You had to really COMMIT to raids if you were wanting to raid another large tribe. Now you can just bring 180000 dinos because of cryos and just easily run off with them when shit hits the fan.
Plus cryos allowed a raiding tribe to get full grown ready dinos, not only eggs
I played the original game from the beginning I loved having no cryo it changed the game made it unfair for beginning players to start up besides they need a running start you have to do the work if you want to really raid even if that traveling all over the map to raid someone. Pulling up and throwing out your whole raid dinosaurs all at once . Solo raiding will out of question lol
Great to see a positive take dude. 👍
I'm hopeful that the first month or two may be a play style of ARK that will take us right back to those early days.
Thanks Raas! Yep fingers crossed it got me all nostalgic making this haha need some positive vibes sometimes 😄
Give it a few weeks when money is on the line for content creators... Their takes are all going to get magically positive so they dont drive off their only source of income. I think ARK ASC would fail if they left up the OG ark servers and i still see this as a legal theft.
I'm looking forward to going back to an "old school" experience, but I do enjoy the utility and mobility that Tek, particularly the suit, provides.
I always thought that Element should be collected/gathered (from bosses, Tek dinos and Alphas - obviously the latter two, granted Tek dinos drop Element dust, aren't and probably won't be a thing) instead of being able to be crafted so being able to go back to that for a time will be nice.
I took the "Cave entrances" to mean they were working on the transition from "overworld" to cave and vice versa (as in the sometimes significant pause as one or the other loads) as opposed to anything related to base building, but we'll see what comes.
I love the good old days before tek. Those were the days I shine. There was only a few things I liked about tek but it was more pve stuff then pvp.
This is because you are not a tool
Still not sure if I'll play this but the vanilla Ark memories I got from your video are getting stronger!
yeah i liked this tribe down memory lane it reminded me of how good the game can be
@@HOD yeah but as much as I really really want that legacy experience back, im not going to get my hopes up because the community has come too far to just slide back that far in knowledge of the game. I remember when I learned about explorer notes and it blew my mind. My buddy said, "Unclaim your PT". When he gave it back it had hella levels and I about shit myself. I thought he was a wizard 😂
Cave fix could be: Turrets can't be placed inside of caves while building is allowed which would force people to build all there defense's outside protecting the entrance and still give them the ability to defend with tames inside the cave like thylos and therezinos.
No transfers is good and bad. My favorite days of Ark was when there was no mega tribes, but you had to rely on trust, alliance with those around you, or battle it out on the home server server. But, to be able to transfer and attack other people in pvp, is always a blast. I remember breeding on servers, then taking them to raid on different servers so they thought that was the world we were from. Old ark is the goat. Hopefully they capture it correct this time.
Cornball
Personally, I love all those changes, though I hope they limit tribe size to try and limit alpha tribes at least a little. Also, I wish all of those changes were permanent. I think a lot of old players are going to come back, play for a bit, and then leave again once other maps drop.
thay should make 3 man servers so solos and small tribes can play cuz it is boreing to play with big tribes cuz progress is too fast and there wont be big alpha tribes sins they are limted with players
People will just account share. Utter basement dwellers
I think a lower tames and structure limit would help
@@Nameless-zq5etyour speaking facts there
tribe limits will do nothing, instead you will get account sharers just like on smalls, or you will have multiple allied tribes in the same locations basically too
As a PvE player, I wouldn't mind at least having cryos off the bat. Hopefully tames don't get stuck as much now with the new pathing. I wouldn't mind the Egg Incubator as well, but I wouldn't mind a nostalgia trip using ACs again either. They really should look into separate balancing for PvE and PvP. Let PvP players have their more primitive experience and allow PvE players to not be "punished" for it. Either way, as someone that loves both old and modern ARK, I'll adapt either way.
Real
i have the same opinoion for years now there needs to be a pvp and pve ark
Absolutely, the TEK stuff and newer dinos are fun, so them being removed would suck BIG time.
Ark PvE: should be Ark: pillars ascended
@@zach9962 As someone that’s played Official PvE for 7+ years with few breaks, I’ve learned to just get creative with where and how I build. Rafts, Megachelon, Cliff, and Ocean Platforms open a ton of unique ways/places to build. Even though most of these will more than likely not be available when ASA launches (since it’s just The Island for now), there’s still the building improvements that might help with uneven land and building on pillars was always an often for really uneven terrain.
Im incredibly torn between not wanting to give any more money to them but also as someone who has not played the game since a little after extinction because of what the game became I really want to experience that old classic Ark Feeling that was just so good.
there will be no classic ark feeling my man this is a false hope everyone has specialy with all the dino changes like stego xD it will be old school for 4h then it goes back to tryhard if people try hard tribes get tek in like 10h or less small tribes will be stompt big tribes will take over the server and wait for transfer to go back to there mega tribe life
@@TheFreak561 Yea your probably right sadly
@@TheFreak561 everybody knows this but wildcard. It's incredible. I wonder what it smells like to jam your head up your own ass
i like all the new sci-fi tames. but i think they should be limited to the sci-fi maps.
I’m more a PvE player now, due to work schedules! I’m looking forward to the new structures and building changes!
Same, I was a PvP Player and never touched PvE until after aberration. originally I stop after a few months in Aberration coz I could not handle the play time needed for playing in PvP... but then i could not help but come back to Ark and start on PvE instead coz I love Ark but don't have the time to play it on PvP anymore.
Anyone else get the feeling that we are going to get the same game and because they are shit at finishing anything so release it half made again , all the while we are just getting the same game but broken. We must be crazy to go back to this shit.
Yeah I have very little confidence its going to mostly function. The cope that has been going on for the last year is that Unreal 4 was just so awful that there was no possible way they could ever fix bugs which is why Unreal 5 is going to be so amazing and bug free. I've got my finger hovering on the X to Doubt button ready for ASA's launch.
They've thought of that already, thats why they're releasing it as a beta and will be in beta stage until late 2024. so expect it to be buggy af
@@madfox7777 yes exactly like regular ark did in "early access" for years to cover up the shitty devs
Im so hyped. At some point im sure tbey will enable limited transfers after more maps released. Back in legacy official pvp center 379 we were built on the redwoods, if your looking at the redwoods it was the far left, right across that land bridge that leads to that metal spawn at the end of the redwoods. The whole base was surrounded by behemoth gates and turret towers. Most fun ive ever had
Prim Plus Needs Added to Ark 2 and given the love it deserved.
Thanks for making a positive video on ASA. I get that we're disappointed but it's not all bad.
Biggest Question to me is, will the Note runs be a thing still? Cause if most remember, Leveling back in the old days was a grind and not as easy as doing a note run.
Yeah it's crazy you actually had to play the game
The Encyclopedia of Ark back at it again! GGs sir. ❤
Thanks buzz got a lot more of these to come haha
something that would be interesting is to have a point that tribes hold to gain points and every month points reset so people can fight over these points! add that competition aspect on a larger scale
and on the transfer option it was rough before cause once ya get so large no one could remove you if they were active!
Cryopods are essential.... Like back in the days Ragnarok was called Lagnarok for a reason because of this very reason.
yeah im mixed on it because they are so good for performance but they do take a lot of gameplay out too
@@HODi get your point and i agree but you also have to understand that some people play solo or even just smaller tribes in general. Being somewhat hidden is a big factor and having dinos chillin outside ur base is kinda a dead giveaway. I also think traveling across map with your tames just for a raid is not immersion, its more of a chore. Idk, curious where they go with it tho
@@Blue_ob yeah this. I get he's coming from a pvp perspective, but from a small tribes/solo pve perspective it just translates to "have no life other than ark even if you were interested in asa".
This is crazy, I am happy to see you on the same page as me. I have just over 2000 hours of ark, but when tek was relesed it destroyed the game for me because i bought the game so I can survive with historical dinos. Will see about the reviews when its released but i am happy with the direction
If you bought the game for the dinos then play PVE
@@Tapeking911 looks like you don't understand my message. this game has turned into a high tek dino game now when almost all dinos walk around with tek skins and that you have tek engrams, criopods. etc. When I bought this game in 2015 it wasn't like this. So that where most of the fun came from. Its not about PVE or PVP
@@danthepiazzaman10 you dont play official pvp because if you did you would know how not fun it would be without tek items and cryos stegos now adays have 180k+ health if there wasn't any tek turrets 1 stego could soak 100 heavys and the reason for all the tek skins is so people can break tek turrets. If you played in a mega tribe you would know what i mean
@@Tapeking911 by your answer it looks like you haven't played the game or had it long enough to understand
@@danthepiazzaman10 I have over 4000s hours and played ark about every way there is you have no clue what your talking about when it comes to official pvp
I felt your video to be helpful and informative, so thank you for that. Some of these I knew, others I didn't.
I made a decision not to get ASA after much thought, I will wait for all of the content to be released first and then I will buy an ultimate pack or equivalent at the occasional sale. I have given my money to wildcard, but the time investment I did with ARK SE is just too much to start from stratch again, with a product with less options and only promises going for, which wildcard suffers a lot to deliver, although they do eventually meet my fun requirements later on.
Also, while I did start as a PvP player, solo, small tribe and part of an alpha tribe later, my true experience and personal fun kicked in with my private dedicated server, which was free for all but ultimately became a not enforced pve experience... The game reached a whole other level to me, which thankfully keeps me entertained to this day (I did get burned out of pvp eventually).
Given that scenario, since PvP is no longer part of my meta, this new proposition, ASA, seems to be lacking in options. While I would choose dinosaurs over other alternatives, I do like options, not having wyverns or Tek is something that as a pve and rpg player of sorts in Ark, will certainly miss, as those became part of my fun.
With that out of the way, ASA does have a few things going for, new and clean code, hopefully better looking player models (closer to conan exiles, for example), less bloom / lotion, better mechanics overall, better animations (again, particularly for humans but not limited to).
Again, there is no compelling event for me to get ASA as of now, less now that I see my useful cryo pods will be gone (as pve tamer, I can relate to the pvp perspective, but that is not how I play nowadays).
For those that will get ASA, I hope you all have fun, re-live your origin Ark moments, and above all, test the game so that when I decide to pve it 2 years from now, its in a much better state than at launch.
Thank you all, your sacrifice is much appreciated!
They should make any structure that sunlight cant touch (dont know what that means for ab) has a fixed decay timer to make it temporary. eg. Build in a cave if you want but you will only have 24 hours
Definitely curious to see how Cave Entrances are changed (and whether it's ALL of them, or just some).
for me we lost one off the only points to even play asa (only 1 map and no transer) as a pvp player the early game no cheating pvp now all sit on 1 map and being bord and when the time comes to transfer all the cheaters are back and it is just the old bad dev team the game will just look a bit better
and no the cheating will a 100% not be better in asa Wildcard just not care we saw it all over the years
So hyped bro you made me make up my mind I’m buy ASA and I just subbed
I think it will launch the way the revamped switch version did. DLC items were only introduced with the corresponding maps but cryopods were in from the get go
Switch while glitchy is the last legit place to play ark. No iron eye, no botters. Performance is nothing on pc, but damn it’s good to play against legit people again.
@@NateetaN0707 Your so right man it's been a tonne of fun
Releasing without cryopods would be a huge L in my opinion
Curious, why?
@@someone-ji2zb some of the best loot to get is cryopoded Dinos
i hope this update is optional cause it sounds like the comp side of ark is just gonna disappear
by comp you mean the complicated side? i mean we will get the dlc to add the stuff back eventually again. i think it would be fresh again as game feels stale imo
It's not optional lol, ark survival evolved will get replaced.
VERY happy about the no cryopod thing. Haven't even gotten to change 2 in the vid yet. Already really liking this, as an old Ark player.
3:03 Carnosaurus. You and Loadedcrisis do this 😂❤
No cryopods will make the lag unbearable again, let's not pretend wildcard will make it magically not framedrop or lag, also no transfers is just so questionable.. who makes these decisions tbh, it made the game so much more alive, servers will die quickly
A majority of the people who play the game today don't even know how or don't want to play the game, they just want to kill people. (Just bobs with a gun) Also, if you were around when server transfers opened, the tension could be cut with a knife. You seem like the type to want to participate in the war, but not spend any time preparing for it. Go play Warzone
I'm excited to finally be able to have mods on console. It'll make building so much more fun, and since I only play PVE on my own servers with a few friends I'm very excited
I was soo happy that the cryopods where left out on launch its nice getting back to when you had to work to get want you need.
I’ve been playing ark since it first released for Xbox back in December 2015 and have played it since then. I can’t wait to see what ark survival ascended will be like.
broooo!!! I LOVE THIS im an old school ark player never really got into ark after the tech update, hell yeah !!!! I hated the idea of transferring, and tek
I completely agree with not having Net Projectiles and scaling back the Tek, but TBH I disagree with you HARD on cryopods.
For one thing, it’s incredibly optimistic to think that there wont still be lag issues on ASA especially if we’re not able to store excess dinos, let alone for people on less powerful machines.
For another, cryopods have become a very necessary quality of life aspect for Ark. A lot of us only have so much time in the day to play, and a lot of that time is already spent on other tedious tasks such as resource grinding & lvling up our tames. Cryopods free up a lot of that time we would otherwise spend arduously maneuvering any new tames across the map back to our base. They also open up the rest of the map for taming by allowing players to travel as far as they’d like without having to worry about how they’re going to get their new tames back across that same distance.
And after all, if you want to go hardcore and not use cryopods, then simply don’t use them. My tribemate did just that for exactly the same reason. Not trying to be disrespectful in any way, merely pointing out the other perspective, especially when it comes to new players who already struggle with the more tedious aspects of Ark.
I remember when ark was fun. Even though in those pre-tech days you would crash fifty times per hour and every single time the menu music would mercilessly ear r*** you while you desperately waited to relog only to see "you died" or you started to fall from the sky. it got to the point just hearing that music start all this time later triggers some intrinsic sense of dread waiting to see the red words.
Troodons weren't around to plague noobs yet, raptors didn't pounce.
It was before the release of the yuty so living in the snow was actually fun and you didn't have to deal with spam carnos and your tames fleeing.
You didn't need to worry about ridiculous whales that attack rafts, destroying them in moments, while also attacking literally nothing else.
Things were primitive and they were fun, we huddled together on the beaches at night with complete strangers, we forged friendships, we left signs warning others of piranhas in the water.
I don't think we'll get that back the closest thing is primitive plus and it's still a whole other experience. (An experience tek dinos shouldn't spawn in)
I would've cherished that time so much more if I knew the devs were going to do what they did
I miss the old ark so I super excited to see if they make ark the game it could be. Great video
Some of the best news I’ve heard from ark in a very very long time!
I kinda hope that even if it’s just for one day it’s the Old island, the one befor they added the swamp, red wood and snow, I still miss the valley that the place used to be
i never got to play on that but it would be dope to have the original volcano back
I cant be the only one who actually liked the style where they mixed technology and dinosaurs. I think its nice how the game evolved into something bigger and i think it would have been boring if it just stayed a only dinosaur game, Genesis and genesis 2 took it too far though. But aberration and extinction was a really cool evolution from the original game. The idea that element slowly corrupts the world is really cool too imo. the ruins of old civilisations and coming back to earth to see it basically destroyed is cool.
Obviously lots of this was implemented badly and made the game feel smaller and so much stuff was broken. But i hope that they release the other maps on Ark SA eventually. Just better implemented and not making the player feel like the most powerful force in the world.
The terror of walking your boss dinos to the ob is returning 🤣🤣
With the no transfers if the alpha tribe blocks off one cave that contains an artefact for each boss then they control all the element
what element?
It will be dope to relive the early days. Hope it turns out well.
Removing cryopods will be a disaster for PvP. You better never log off, because hiding/storing your tames will be next to impossible. Cryopods allowed you to hide your tames anywhere so that even if you got offline raided, you could hide dinos in a box underwater or foundations, allowing you to do metal runs and such after getting offline wiped, which is every time
But on the other hand if you have a lot of dinos it will be intimidating to other tribes and if they attack your tames can protect you and your base
Why do you think creature upload data exists?
I like the fact of having wyverns and stuff and maewings
Very excited for that early to midgame pvp back to bare bones like the good old days when i started in 2016
like all the changes but need transfers on that's one of the best bits raiding different servers and starting wars
I hope they make it so that if they do add the other maps that you can't bring tames to a map that don't already exist on that map to begin with.
I can't wait!
I'm going to be joining military soon so I hope by the time I get to play this game ill be able to experience exactly what you just described I miss the old ark grew up with that game fr
I haven't played PvP on Ark since Ragnarok released. I always remember the old "Extinction" 30 day servers, so much fun in the early game rush!
OMG I CANT WAIT FOR THIS ❤ I CANT FOOKING WAIT
Id like to see them implement a hybrid pvp/pve server where you remain in pve mode unless you damage a player or their structure or dino. Then you get forced into pvp mode until you are killed. If you played red dead redemption 2 online its a great system.
Seems to me like the alpha tribe meta will be to set up in and outside a desired cave then rush to tek to get the teleporter and transmitter, then bring everything inside the cave and build the majority of the defenses outside of the cave entrance on a big scale. I recall the biggest switch to small cave bases was the introduction of the titans that could destroy outside bases easily along with the turret cap.
yea 100 turret limit + titans made it impossible to live outside of caves anymore. its why all the megas had to move into caves.
Yeah seems pretty accurate alphas will be so quick to dominate so I hope they change caves more substantially then we think
@@HOD i can tell you already ice cave wont be top cave anyway easy/hard underwater will be the alpha spots since there underwater and harder to grief then an ice and if they change caves people will rly just sit in these caves without megachelons will be rly hard to wipe these caves. nerfing ice or other caves wont matter what i can geuss
The only Change I take issue with is the cryopod change. I do agree think Cryopods should not be deployable in Caves as to eliminate that from being a issue of moving large tames that would be impossible otherwise. However as someone who has played since 2015 and has put thousand and thousand of hours in the game and done everything from PVP to top stat PVE breeding all on official servers to have some sibilance of existence of a adult life and play the game at a competitive level cryopods need to be available. Hundreds of tames standing outside even with the UE5 engine will still massively effect server performance on top of promoting lots of grieving in the PVE setting. I have a large base currently and I do keep tames some out for aesthetic purposes and some do serve a practical purpose. By removing cryopods from the game all you would be doing is supporting alpha tribes by making them the only Viable top stat breeders early on because they can keep a huge rotation of players managing a large amount of dinos 24/7. If Wildcard just wants another cash for Dinos market thats been wrecking the game for so long then not having cryopods from the start is what will happen.
The tribe I play with shares multiple bases across multiple maps and I would consider us fantastic Ark players we are not a large group just well organized. We figured out the Rhynia taming process before many of the you tube content creators and have made well over 40 of them most top stat animals. We go out of our way to help new players and we breed some of the best animals on Ark official servers but this would not be possible if we did not have cryopods to put away dinos so we could go about our daily lives. This is just my constructive feed back hope is helps.
you were on point there will be no cryopods on asa on the liend at the start no cyroing your dino in asa til the map that has it coms out
No transferring means no weight capping. That itself is absolutely huge to slow down progression.
Are you still gonna be able to harden on a stego? If so defending against stego rushes is nearly impossible without nets especially if land bases are encouraged
Very excited it’s gonna be like old ark and lord knows I miss that XD
I used to lead an aplha tribe on ps4 legacy and little on new servers, and barely played on pc after i moved there, so wont be hard to adapt once again, i love old ark !
Making Ark products for my store in preparation 🙌
Most of these doesn't matter to me personally since I only play unofficial pve with friends. The only one that kinda affects me is the no cryopod. But we're just gonna use mods instead.
i rly hope it’s gonna be more like in the past
noo big alpha bases with 3000 heavys
like the good old days
I think this is a massive opportunity for them to do it right, no transfers might suck, the number 1 thing they need is out of game notifications for damage to structures and kills on your dinos. As someone who plays in smaller tribes or solo I don't want to use a bot to monitor tribelogs, I'd like a app or just text notifications telling me I need to get on and defend.
I'd like to see some kinda fix on turrets/soaking too, that being said, people won't have all the crazy breeding lines this time round so even a moderate amount of turrets should be pretty good.
A friend of mine and I play private coop, pve. I just want to know if we’ll still be bound by a range from the host in this? It would be nice if we could run off to do what needs to be done while the other is afk do to RL, instead of being bound by a 200 something radius.
1:05 that’s gonna be tough specially for solo players . But as a solo myself we love the challenge 🔥
As a current and long time primitive + player this makes ASA more appealing, but the stuff you mentioned in the video will only be temporary and cryopods and transfers etc will return once maps like extinction are released.
Everyone loves primitive, for all the reasons you mentioned in the game and the only reason why primitive + has struggled is due to years of neglect from wildcard. If it was working the servers would be full, but wildcard has decided to discontinue it. An updated working primitive server would be a glorious experience. In my opinion tek ruins the game, dinosaurs, metal bases and lasers just don’t meld.
this is when ark was the best to play! walking a war bronto across the map to raid was epic
You should do a raffle for some tribemates when ASA drops! Would love to experience playing with someone on your level!
these changes sound super good it for sure will bring back the old days of ark
Hey HOD hope youre doing good! i cant wait to see it myself i hope they nerf transfers id love to see each map transfer pooled canonically, (cisland scorched rag) (aberation extintion), gen 1 &2 i feel it would make it fun where you dont have to raid your neighbors but you also couldn't take loot to earlier maps, essentially transfer forward but not back except character. would be amazing to break it up.
hey im good hope you are too! yeah ive always wished they would do something like this to preserve the different meta on each map so that every map doesnt feel the same.
@GunBase sounds like you should play cross ark! They are closed off clusters that only have one of each map on them! They sound perfect for you :)
"No cryopods" So back to quetz transfers as it was back in the day, got it haha. Sadly back then having speed on flier made the quetz transporter abit better.
As far as PvP balance is concerned, I wonder if it would be beneficial to allow transfers, but only tames/items obtainable on that map. It would make metas a little more interesting/self-contained. Though I can also see the issues with this.
They could add separate servers that allow you to transfer anything as well.
That or have a cluster for the island, scorched & rag and one for the other.
Make character transfers only. Then you can escape a bully server without losing everything. It also prevents map balance issues with future expansions.
im so insanely excited for ASA
Hopefully won’t be cryos but probably will be like atlas and have farmhouses would make the game way more immersive! Has there been any news if prim is getting fixed for ascended
Glad we'll get at least a month of the good o'l Ark Days where PvP actually took skill. Whoever doesn't like this is probably an unskilled tek loving beach bob.
Way to find the positive! looking forward to single player with unreal.
I do hope some of the irl-inspired creatures are kept, the Desmodus is my favorite flyer, even with better tames available. Also, I do understand the removal of the cryo-pod, but why is the net getting removed?
the DLC maps, creatures, and items will be added later. at launch, there will only be classic island content.
No cryos- Need a wheel option or pc command to be able to remove Dino names rather than whole hud to improve lag too
No caves - will be fun for a while, until speed brontos/titanosaur come for a stroll into your base
Tek - think there should be a small ele increase for island bosses like and extra 20 or something
There has been an option to hide Tames names for years lmao
You have always been able to press END to hide names.
i will definitely get that one, am new to survival games and was overwhelmed by the choices in ARK, am no pvp player though
Does sound good to go back to the old days. After all these years I still barely touched extinction or gen 1/2 because it changed too much for me
