Extra Life 2020! Livestream Reveals

Its not really overpowered if everyone has one but I do think it's a major monkey wrench thrown into the game. Who knows maybe the difficulty of the map will be ratcheted up to account for the buff to our characters.

I enjoy starting out as a naked box of garbage on a new map and getting killed 100 times while exploring until I get my bearings. That being said, I'm not looking at the instant tek suit as necessarily a bad thing, just much different than what we're used to.

Actually as someone who's never beaten a boss, I'm excited the tek barrier is finally being removed. 

Fair point. I’m not one of those people that do boss fights so that will be enjoyable

You can use Crystal Wyverns to fly on genesis part 1. I got killed by people riding them. This was on an official xbox server as well. Unless these guys knew the admin password or had some hacks i have no idea how they were able to fly with flyers disabled.

Some of this stuff will probably begin to feel like it belongs in the game like whips, flamethrowers, extinction dinos, etc.
I feel like the DLCs should have some MORE of their engrams and dinos dipped into the main game to prevent new players from being completely left out of any meta due to not buying the DLCs from the beginning. Ragnarok, Valguero, and Crystal Isles do great with this for scorched and aberration, but it's still at the point where to defend some base spots a tek railgun is expected, or a Reaper, which can't be obtained for free. With snow owls and managarmrs being essential to PVP, unfortunately you can't do much to counter them without z fruit and I don't think you can get Z seeds at all without the Aberration or Genesis DLC.
I kinda hope that the Astrodelphis is as useless as a flying Gallimimus with terrible weight or you guys can buff that creature to compete somehow.
When I started ark it was very disheartening to be killed by creatures from DLCs I don't own, and I really despised that. The only reason I didn't quit from my first experience was because the tribemates I had when I started this game bought the DLC to get the good Extinction dinos and did good to keep us going from getting wiped for a while.

then nobody will buy the dlcs, remember to think business if you add every dlc creature to a free map then nobody will buy the dlcs because the creatures are one of the main reasons i have the dlc and i think the reason for scorched earth not selling good because everything interesting in it is free in other maps

olá ark gênesis e a ultima dlc

Just look awesome, pls bring the PS5 patch as soon as possible

Merci, thanks,

I fully understand the business model you're talking about, but I hope we get 99% if not all the creatures in the game on gen 2, considering it's the last hurrah.

Edit: I forgot to put in the quote by Hegaywhodonothin, I'm not used to forums and didn't add it in after clicking quote, so pretend it is here.

Scorched isn't selling good because everyone already has it, and it has it's worth as a map when you consider the nice base locations it has and how nice the map is. Yeah, it doesn't sell as good now because it isn't required to have, but it shouldn't be required. It is honestly nice to have a DLC map that is simply extra content and not required content.

Take the DLC of any other game and the extra characters you buy might be slightly overpowered and have a nicer feel to them, but it's not like they are required as a counter to other characters like how some DLC elements are almost required to counter other stuff in ARK.

Rhino gets wrecked by z fruit, y trap, snow owl dive, with one option being Quetzal or Wyvern. Quetzals and Wyverns are striclty countered by Managarmrs, Reapers, and Snow Owls. Snow Owls are countered by y traps and z fruit, as well as Reapers and the Tek suits you get from Genesis or crafted from Extinction BPs. Managarmrs are countered by snow owls followed by z fruit and y trap as they have a huge ground hit box and can be given the z effect as they are forced to be grounded as they take action.

Nobody new will buy the game if this keeps up, this pushes a dying player base even more by discouraging them with what people have been telling them constantly, that the game is somewhat pay to win, and I say somewhat because at least it isn't paying a large amount of currency for a small bonus... but if you or a friend don't pay, you don't win.

How much i will start it? well, first i love dinos, but those new dnos from space crossingover other ideas as space and aliens, its too far away from the begiining of the whole story game... WildCard should start a new game named Ark 2 with all this new stuff about Genesis. Too much TEK stuff for lazy people... new stuff as a Tek pistol muti-purpose... a Tek bow?? Why?? Its boviously WildCard only think new stuff for PVP players instead of PVE players... mostly of those new stuff arent usefull for pVE unless you wanna be more lazy. 
 

Im totally lost every nice feeling about Genesis... It comes from Dinosaurs to Aliens?? Well done!! (sarcasm) It comes to free ARKs to Living in simulations?? It comes from trying to live in earth to trying to live in space?? Only some dinos in geneis are nice, but new poop TEK?? Only for PVE are Egg Incubator and Tek Plot... 

One word: Dissapointed.

I'm really happy with all of this things. Game is growing very well. Great job.
Just please,focus on the lags and crashes and after that game could be the number 1 game ever.
But this is really nice job.

At this point the game was way outgrown dinosaurs. I loved the prehistoric feel of ark back in the day too, but what is adding another variation of a trex or trike really gonna do for the game..?

They can get much more creative with stuff like an invisible freakin lion, and honestly I think something like that is simply more interesting than another dinosaur added to the 100 dinos we already have.

Again, with the map what are they gonna do add another volcano/snow/desert area ? We've been there done that several times over. I absolutely love the look of the ship and how the biomes wrap around it in rings. So much more interesting than another Valguero or Ragnarok type landscape. 

I like that they've gone in a new direction, I just hope they dont royally screw it up with some dumb design decision like they did with the mission build restrictions and teleporting that made gen 1 awful (neither are in gen 2).

I love the way the fantastic devs at Wildcard have written each section to make this new map feel like it's a tranquil haven for mechanical and biological alike, only with the twist at the last biome passage, whom we can only assume is none other than Edmond Rockwell. I am more than excited to start the Ark grind in a far different scenario than what we've seen before. Keep up the good work Wildcard!

I don't think dlc dino's should be in the main game. They should stay dlc exlusive. I do feel, however, like most of the engrams should be available for everyone. Except for maybe some things, like the ocean platforms in genesis or other stuff that make that map feel special. But there is absolutely no reason why some tek stuff should be dlc exclusive. Or why the whip is scorched exclusive.

You can get the whip on Valguero along with some aberration stuff like the glider and climbing picks.

Any news on the winners of the giveaways during the charity event? 

This game deviated sooo much from what made it popular in the early access.  From survival game with dinosaurs it became a weird fantasy/sci-fi mix with survival component marginalized to the extreme. Disappointing. 

Kinda bummed that I 'won' a prize on the stream for donating but have heard and received nothing from WC almost a month later. Altogether I donated over $700, which of course is for a great cause but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

too much tek stuff tbh it will make the game weird 

Well the game itself is ment to "Evolve". Like start primitive and become future. Why would it else been named Ark Survival "Evolved"

nice

Se ve genial, espero que llegue pronto, estoy impaciente.

All this new base tek stuff (crop plots, incubator, security cameras) This is all going to be awesome because I feel we have too many offensive dinos and gear in the game that its hard to counter them especially if you just start up, manas for killing you and your tames, soakers for soaking you're towers, and if you're off for the night that's like 5-9 hours that they have free range to soak and raid you. So I'm really happy they are adding an ammo box where if you slot cap all your turrets there's still something to add more ammo when you're turrets run out. So thankyou wild card for considering more defensive items such as the ammo box and security cameras. 

(Also I know this isn't going to happen but I wish wildcard would make turrets do extra damage and structures take less damage when someone is offline raiding you, yes they have offline raid protection servers but its not the same feeling as regular official servers)
