DinoDash Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 So we have primal supposedly coming this month, so what do you guys think it's gonna be likes? I'm talking more on the perspective of a pvp player. Will this be perfect for trolls or people escaping from them? Personally I like the idea of having a super primitive mode of play (can't get much more primitive than being a dinosaur!) where the focus is not building and getting better stuff, rather simply surviving. Where you have little to lose. On the other hand I would be utterly terrified to live in a world with player controlled dinos. Where dinos were just as unpredictable as people. Of course until we get a chance to play it we have no idea what it's gonna truly be like, but let's make some theoriesa, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewiatan Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 At this stage of development I see no need to add this mode to the game owing to the fact it is still in deep alpha and must be finished. Premiere dates are being pushed back constantly. Hiring another development team to finish Primal Survival costs some and that's not little money that could be used to finish ARK. However, I understand many people would like to play as dinosaurs. As how is going to work? You may check out The Isle, it might give you an idea. You cannot balance pvp that every dinosaur has a chance to win a fight, it wouldn't be logical. I think the experience won't be very immersive, because dinosaurs we have now lack of behavioural animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteer Moderator GP Posted February 4, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2017 I think it's going to be good! In regards to whether it will be perfect for trolls or good for people escaping them, well every game that has multiplayer has trolls, they are very good at finding any way to troll. So really it doesn't come down to the game mode, but the fact that official servers will always have trolls at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehuhoser Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I welcome the new mode, it will be the same Ark, just that you can play as a dino being able to control, sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyUncool Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 May I ask where you've gotten this information from? I've looked for any confirmation that it's supposed to be released this month, but so far I've only seen it on the Wiki, but nowhere else and not confirmed by any of the devs. I would love a link to the source if you have one. I've been anticipating this game mode ever since they announced it, so I don't want to get my hopes up in vain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should throw all their money into primal and sotf and just let normal ark die peacefully and with honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like normal ark at all anymore. primal is going to be awesome because we won't have to worry about huge bases anymore and will actually be able to play the survival part of the game. As for trolls, I never minded them. They blow a small hole in your base and maybe take some stuff. Cool you set me back one day. As where alphas set you back your whole playing time. Even if trolls make their way into primal it will be just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praise Jesus. if they really do have at argy I will definitely pick that dino to become. That way I can build my nest high up on a mountain where land Dinos can't get to me lol the only chance of getting offlined would be by my other fellow argys which I would try to become alliances with since we would be the same species. Same breeds gotta stick together you know? Lol either way I can't wait for it. Even if it has more bugs than the original I really won't care, my main problems were the bad people of officials and once primal comes out I will be there to stay and never look back.... well unless they were to bring sotf to Xbox then I would have to do that too. no more officials and I am sure many many more will do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilNastyGurl Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Wouldn't everyone just play as a Pteranodon and C-Attack everything to death though? Or are there no flyers involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamagh Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Man... what to play as? Do I play as a wolf? I would love that. Or do I go for the dung beetle, for a real challenge. Maybe try something else like play as a trike or something. We will find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrekasaurus Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I say, the more game modes, the better. I'm on Xbox, so I may have to wait a little bit longer. I can't wait for SOTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's planned to add them, tribials, survivours and mercenaries. As far as I know you wouldn't be able to play with human and dinosaurs players in Primal Survival. I may be wrong tho.

DomiDarko Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I think it's too early and if you wanna play as a Dino/other creature then go for The Isle or the mod "Play as Dino" to get a feeling how it COULD work. I'm pretty sure we won't see this game mode until the TLC-pass has been finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
