DraaxLP Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Scorched Earth was released September 1, 2016 and my honest opinions during my first playthrough were not that great. But lately I started a new playthrough and I'm honestly enjoying SE a ton more. Not sure why my opinion changed, but I'm glad it did so far! What are your thoughts after a year?

m1n2v5 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I really enjoy SE, I primarily play there on what is now a legacy server. I have an unofficial one that I play with a friend on Ragnorak and it just seems too easy now. Water everywhere, no storms, ect. SE is a fun challenge.

Raithial Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 IMHO Scorched Earth is still somewhat more thrilling compared to The Island; The caves are a ton of fun to do, especially if you try to solo them with high-end gear (not Tek, but stuff like longnecks, grenades, fabricated armaments etc.) The bossfight I've not done yet, but I'll definitely be looking forward to that. I currently have my primary base in SE single-player, with an "outpost" on a friend's Private Server that runs "The Center", and I just love the desert setting; working with the weather-conditions, wind-turbines and stuff. The only thing that troubles me about SE is the disjointed Kibble line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 SE is a ton of fun and a real challenge. I personally love the map. My gripe is that on official PvP, it is impossible to keep your base safe. The only place I know of that has reasonable access to water and 100% wind PLUS the ability to build species X is the blue obelisk. If you build anywhere else lightning storms will shut your power off, you can't build crop plots and your gennies break. Raiding a scorched base is ridiculously easy. Auto on/off (opposed to just auto on) for gennies and allowing crop plots everywhere would really make the map more playable. The available real estate on that map for viable building is incredibly lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That exactly what me & my tribe did. We build in the sand at blue ob. Your turbines still go down out there, yet just not as much as often. I for one hated the scorched simply, because its pretty lifeless compared to the other maps. Nonetheless I love the challenge the scorched gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinenorr Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Scorch was nice because of rock golems and wyverns, but they have those on ragnarok. So now all I see is one or two bases on scorch servers and tons of people flying around on griffins pteradons and wyverns from other servers looking for red drops in the dunes. Even at 2am there are 3 people just doing drops on any of the scorch servers available. Scorch is now just a land of temporary trolls looking for suckers with loot. There need to be more official scorched servers open. On xbox we have just 9. Only nine official scorch servers. Blows my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhym Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I do feel it is more challenging on some points, with the storms and the weather shennanigans. the caves are wonderfully designed and very artistic BUT ...the map feels small. horribly so. after playing a good 300 hours on it i had seen pretty much everything there was to see on it and done all there was to do on it. if only there was one or two more ''island of rock'' in that sea of sand then it would feel adequate. that is kinda what i am fearing with aberration. small maps gets old fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love Scorched, I don't mind the lack of color, I do love the green :P, but I do like the challenges of weather in that Ark. I find that the lesser number of animals is okay as well compared to other Arks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tageon Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I loved Scorched Earth since the beginning. Heck I still love it. Wish it had more dinos though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owehowfeh Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I love scorched earth but Ragnarok killed it. I hope they add the cutscene from the island to scorched earth since it makes it slightly more viable if they make a requirement to have ascended alpha on the island and then you continue to gain levels. Add previous dinos to make things interesting and add exclusive tek Items of the manticore. These are a few ideas but I don't see a point in playing scorhed when Ragnarok is a better map with scorhed earth content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
