YamiJustin Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 What do you miss most about old Ark? Sometimes you take month or year breaks from this game and come back to a big change, missing the old. For me: The slow grind. I know it's not for most people but having to go from a crawl made me appreciate the higher tier tools and dinos. Getting to level 20 for the metal tools was game-changing.

singalty Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 What do I miss? That official used to actually be a *Dino* game. Since Extinction Ark has become more of a Tek game with emphasis on crafting and BP from extinction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenon45 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Good old 50 50. That was a good time... Also miss older days when rexs and spinos where the kings before the gigas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent spent much time around quetzals recently unfortunately. Doesnt seem to be as common. Although to be honest, I guess I more miss quetzal from pre-flyer nerf and the days they were king of the skys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipRavage Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I miss when rexes had a Jurassic park Rex / Elephant roar mixed in their roar cycles. The current Rex roar isn’t horrible, it just doesn’t sound very powerful. I also remember how the Spino had the same roars as the Rex , just pitched up so it sounded like crap.

Kaprosuchus Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I miss not knowing everything about this game. none of the changes in the game have really made me that upset but the changes within myself make it less fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowgirl Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I miss the old turtle sounds and the old parasaur hum, I loved that noise, I also miss the old trike run, where it bounced, so adorable, oh and the old volcano, when you could go up there and mine tons of metal pretty much worry free.

Sphere Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I miss mining inside The Island volcano. You can still do it. But uh, the old way was fun. But hey, it's fine. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymas Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The excitement surrounding patch day (ok sometimes it was patch week). Checking YT constantly because you knew once the trailer dropped, they were getting ready to roll the patch out. So we'd get the trailer, get mega hype, and then as soon as the patch dropped it was a race to update and get in the game to go check out the new stuff.

ForzaProiettile Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Pros of ARK 2015/Early 2016: 70/70 servers every night. Lots of small tribes everywhere. Lots of players to kill. Lots of PVP in general. No TEK nonsense. Flyers were still weak. No Gigas/Wyverns/Manas/Quetzals/Titans/Other stupid unbalanced crap. Blueprint stats hadn't gone out of control. Breeding didn't exist. No xray vision Parasaurs/Snow Owls. Most bases were wood, metal was actually hard to farm and a metal base actually meant something. Resources in general were much harder to obtain/farm. Now a days there is mass inflation since most stuff is worth nothing due to how easy it is to obtain.. No big alliances Not many big tribes Meshing wasn't really a thing yet A player on foot had a reasonable chance to kill a tamed dino with melee / regular arrows. Cons: Aimbots and ESP were more common and blatant Game was less stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironknuckles Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I miss no server transfers. Now... Powerful alphas have free reign to wipe servers. Politics are a thing of the past and everyone is in constant hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aushegun Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I remember way back when ARK came to the PS4. Back then I had to walk 9 miles to and 10 miles back, just to turn on my PS4. In 3 feet of snow! The only source of power was to ride a stationary bicycle, and we only had AOL dial up 56K internet. Of course, that didn't matter, as we were just excited to be playing a dinosaur game, as we huddled together in front of the TV, mostly for warmth, but also because we only had a 12" screen B & W television. Oh man, I mess those good old days! Dang Millennials ruin everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was SCI-FI game from the early beginning. Even with Tek, the Island, Rag and Center were still mostly "about the dinos" My feeling is that since Snail Games acquisition of Wildcard not a single new actual Dino has been released on storyline maps. The emphasis feels, sorry, quite urban Chinese with strong emphasis on artificial and fantasy stuff dominating Trikes and Rexes. The latest kibble update pretty much as said 75% of all dinos are useless crap now.. if you are on official PVP there is no way for tribes to keep a server without that extinction rubbish. Cryopods were badly needed but we didnt need a whole new map to release them. I can't believe that the delay in Managarmr re-balancing (almost two months wait) was nothing less that a cheap "pay-to-win" money grab hard-penalizing any tribe not on Extinction ("oops yeah sorry we'll get to that..." lol). The game is totally imbalanced now, with each new DLC surpassing all previous maps, and penalizing any official PVP tribes not buying in. Basically they took a game that I really liked and destroyed it with Titans, Meks and Rock Drakes, that the game needed like a hole in the head. So yeah, I miss the actual *Dino Game* thanks.

No server transfers meant alphas could bully you and you couldn’t flee and return to strike back so you were stuck. And the things I dislike the most of back then are still in game ie meshing and duping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
