New Dinosaurs/TLC but refreshed every few months

[LoadedCrysis]

Hi LoadedCrysis here,

Who remembers the days of early access? When we would get New Dinosaurs on the PC and Console every single month?

Well I have thought of a really awesome idea that would defiantly be one step to growing Ark even more and bringing fresh content constantly to the game.

 

So I believe there is already a lot of Dinosaurs in Ark survival evolved, which is great, but i think there are a lot of dinos that are not used that much anymore or are just a bit boring, especially if your someone like me who has played the game for over 3 years. It would be fantastic to see some new Dinos, but If its not possible just to keep adding new dinos on top of the old ones (maybe due to memory issues or something) then why not vault some of the less popular ones and bring in fresh new dinosaurs to take there place, similar to how fortnite vaults old guns and bring in new ones. I just feel like the game needs something new every month or so and something that gets us survivors excited because change can always great. On top of this us survivors can always look forward to other bigger projects you guys work on, such as new maps, DLC's or new fun game modes but enjoy the smaller changes in the meantime.

 

If New Dinos couldn't work, then maybe a TLC until all the Dinosaurs are fully up to date?

 

Let me know what you guys think, Thanks for the chance to let us share our suggestions,

Yes new dinos every month or a new TLC every few months would be great but personally I think instead of new dinos every month just make the ones we currently have better take the lightning Wyvern for example to use the lightning attack you don't know where to aim so crosshairs would be awesome there are a few others that could do with a bit of work that's Frank

That is excactly what a TLC is.

This idea sounds really bad. This is how you tick off the players that collect dinos for fun in the game. If you switched out old dinos for new ones, and players were breeding the ones that got taken away, they would be TICKED OFF if they lost them. This concept works for games like Fortnite because you only have the same guns for ONE session, and in the next you start from scratch again. That isn't the case on Ark.

I am in favor of more TLC patches for dinos. We definitely don't need that many new dinos in the game, since many that we have now are useless because there is too much variety.

Certain things like the Phoenix have needed reworking for ages. This would be good.

Why the Phoenix? I think it really just needs a proper landing mechanic... visually, it's fine, and it's got a very unique functionality for a tame (as well as being one of the most loaded tames in the game), so I really don't think it needs a rework

They should make more content for Xbox one and play station

I agree with you on some of the dinos becoming obsolete or boring. The kibble rework made a good majority of the creatures completely obsolete a great example is mantis they used to be useful for rock elementals but no longer serve a purpose. 

What i feel the game is missing more than massive additions or changes to the existed creatures is how they work. We saw some changes to Stegos a while back which had a sizable impact on their usability for pvp. I personally feel that is really all this game needs (for now). If the devs could look into some of the more needing assets of the world that already exist and improve them on a passive level that might be enough.

A mantis is probably one of the most useful creatures. You can use them to harvest almost everything. Depending on the equipment, it serves several utility roles.

[Kinsky]

good point, although you should think about giving more useful abilities to other creatures like the Pachyrhinosaurus or the saber tooth

[porthalo117]

I think right now they need to work on the graphic for the game and maybe take the island and expand it and make it to where if you craft a raft you can sail to more islands but all this will be on the island so they don't have to make more maps and make us pay more

[DuncanMacleod08]

I just want them to tlc pass their water dinos already and add more to water to diversify oceans... like huge over looked portion in this game... Do more with your water Wc.

In game have skin : Brachiosaurus , Stygimoloch, Styracosaurus. Delete skin , and create dino with this file. 

There is already a suggestion on this.

One reworked creature per month. WC is not a very big company, the only have about 30 employees. Isnt one creature per month a bit too much?

Probably. But a lot more realistic than a completely new creature.

 

I would say seasonal is more realistic, every 3 months.

I'd be willing to buy a new season pass if it guaranteed me a new creature every month or so, for instance. Well obviously the right balance would have to be found between the number of creatures, the pace of the releases (...and we know WildCard's track record on that), and the work required to make those new creatures, but I think it's an option that should be out there since we're talking about money. It seems more reliable that microtransactions, too.
(now I'm curious : how does it work on mobile when people loot your stuff but some of it comes from microtransactions ?)

Yes, but also not entirely. So many things are still possible, and looking at the creature mods, you can see that some of them are really creative not only in terms of appearances, but abilities too. Adding creatures to the game again would probably mean that some mod devs could get their equivalent of the Homestead update (only... stop trying to nerf mods we love and use as is, please, WildCard). Let those mod sponsorships bear fruits for the whole community, and not just PC players. It'd be these mod devs' time to shine, and some of them are overdue for the opportunity.

Also I'm all for more regular TLC passes, even if that means having fewer creatures in each phase. And it probably should be the case if we're honest.

But I agree with many above that getting rid of some creatures, just because they're supposedly useless or unoriginal now, is a very bad idea. We all have favorites, first of all, and one survivor's boring dino is another's most cherished one (especially on PvE where imho there is more flexibility, especially for herbivores ; we don't need to soak turrets so we're more flexible than the common trike/stego deal). But second of all, Ark is a game that prides itself on how many creatures it makes available ; deleting content instead of improving and/or adding up to would be a suicidal move.

I totaly agree with u more content is better old content can be touched up but not removed otherwise wildcard would remove a part of there heart/body in the games sense and no one would want that... but i do agree there is creature mods that could help with adding more creatures to the game but i myself dont want it to be the only way we can get new creatures in the game expanisons do that to but...... i am with loadedcrysis that i to feel sadish that wildcard doesn't add dinos like they did bk on facebook the early days i use to get soo exicted when they revealed something new to the game and now its just tied in with expanisons.... for the most part or mod stuff... and quiet frankly i dont like primal fear or ark eternal but thats just me i support them to being added for those that like them and use them but i wouldn't want them to be intergrated into the main game but more like primitive plus or something idk how they would be able to add them as there "own thing" but i'd want them to be like that maybe tie them down to a map or something idk so that way people that dont use them wont have to be forced to use them such as myself.

That would be so nice love that time when we were having new dinos every month that with TLC could be awesome

Hi!I recently received the game. There are insects in the game,and I think such small sizes are discrimination for them This is of course a joke, but I really ask you to add large sizes for insects, especially for spiders. I'm sorry, my English is not very good

It doesn't sound like you've gotten into caving yet, but the spiders in there are big enough to ride.

Skins or Variant for already existing creatures coud bé good. Like that Hammerhead shark from Atlas instead of Megalodon. (Could be the Ragnarok variant for Megalodon, the same way we have Aberrant variants for Aberration) 

[Setne133]

they should do a weapons tlc and add the bayonet as an attachment as well as other attachments

[TheDragonLord83]

Loadedcrysis as in the youtuber? Because i have to be a noglin's uncle if that the case, either way definitely agree new tlcs every month would be great n would definitely make it a fresher experience for all of us.

[Giganto]

A Mosasaurus TLC would be nice considering it's supposed to be one of the apex predators of the ocean. Like not being able to be grabbed by Tuso and maybe a second attack with an affect

Sabertooth was the first to get a TLC

True, but it only got a visual overhaul; I'm talking about gameplay/abilities.

[SoccerProtogy2]

ADD CURRENT ANIMALS MAYBE AN AFRICAN SAVANNAH DLC? Lions , leopards, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, wild dogs, tigers , so many possibilities!

This would just drive people away from official servers.

depending on the kind of microtransactions. If it would be cosmetics and the like then no it wouldnt drive anyone away, but if it'd be dinos/gear then yah it'd be a poopshow

[RichardNWK]

Yes New dinos would be great on Legacy it was a massive hype when we got new dinos, Also how on earth do I VOTE lol

[MYTVY]

Vaulting old creatures is a horrible idea. They just need updating, that's very important, but even if they don't have a use in PVP or even much in PVE, that doesn't mean that they don't deserve their place in the game, they will always have fans and cutting them is just ridiculous. TLC phases are good and maybe something like a new dino per "season" or something, 4-6 or so NEW CREATURES a year would be more than exciting enough.
