Zazs89 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hey All, I have been playing on a Xbox Official PvE Primitive server for over a year now. I really enjoy the game mode and I know Prim+ has been out a while, yet I feel I know very little of what the differences are. I know there are many more structure types, food types, gear, etc., but how exactly does game play differ from the old Primitive? Is this mode still based around taming creatures and building structures? I've been interested in playing but don't know what the particular draw would be to change modes. Please be kind and constructive and thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deemo627 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Primitive plus adds a ton of items. The standard primitive mode is just Ark with most of the stuff taken out of it. Primitive plus counters this by adding things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petraeus Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 They'll be adding a primitive plus tek tier to make up for the loss of tek, with things like compound bow and advanced swords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacca1664 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I like prim + for the simple fact that stone is as high as you can go. No metal boxes and missile launchers. There is a slight difference in the look. The smoke houses instead of fridges etc. But, and this could be a big BUT, a number of saddles are missing. There is no Tapajara, Allosaurus, Therizinosaurous or pelagornis saddles. The Tapajara and Therizinosaurous ones missing are really frustrating for me. The lack of a tranq gun means it's nye on impossible to knock out a Gallimimus without killing it (you can do it with tranq trip wires but this is a long winded waste of resources). Gallimimus kibble is great for the beaver so be prepared for a 3 hour sit pumping narcs into the beaver every 2 mins. You cant put leach blood in your last hotspot so that means no moschops. Fishing traps don't work. You can't put the bait in them. So if you can live with those limitations then it's a good way to go. Servers are generally more quite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevaver Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 One of the major differences I have found is Primitive has support and Primitive+ does not. The consoles are still stuck in Prim+ v1.3 and PC is on Prim+ v1.4 and both versions you are getting shafted out of having certain items like saddles. We are now missing around 6 saddles on PC and I think consoles are missing around 10. Ced, the developer for Primitive+, hasn't said anything about it other than GDC.. Exciting news coming! And yes, Prim+ update is still coming.. February 28, 2017 https://twitter.com/ComplexMinded/status/836671794073354240 Prior to that the last info on Prim+ was on Feb 3 when Ced posted this. In addition to smashing some bugs, I've been working on a "market" trading system for the core game. February 4, 2017 https://twitter.com/ComplexMinded/status/827704421526106112 tl:dr is you are better off playing Primitive until WC and Ced can dedicate time to improving Prim+.
