Make Character Classes (Read All Before Commenting)
One thing that could be cool is having the option to choose between different character classes. There could be the basic ones:
Warriors- Higher Melee damage, Health, and Fortitude
Archers- Better with ranged weapons and have higher movement speed/agility.
We could also have a few outliers. Maybe one or two others like:
Atlantean- Special underwater engrams and abilities like increased movement speed/strength/no oxygen stat when underwater, but have significant penalties when above water like seriously decreased movement speed, health, and taking damage over time slowly due to being out of their natural environment, like we would in the snow or desert biomes
Dwarf- Excellent cave builders, reduced cave damage on structures from 6x to 2x. All stats in caves would be increased by say 30%, but stats above ground are reduced by 30%. Tames would take the same penalties as the player, maybe more.
These outlier classes and abilities would only be able to be utilized when playing solo or if you are a part of a tribe that consists of all the same character classes. So Dwarfs could keep their abilities when underground by only having a tribe of dwarf-classed characters. Same goes for Atlanteans, abilities can only be kept when in a tribe of same classed players or solo playing.
If you were to have an outlier class character (Dwarf/Atlantean) and join a tribe though of different classed players, you would simply have to play as a regular individual as you do now.
My goal with this post isn't to suggest that ARK should become a more fantasy based game, but instead to shed some light on a game aspect that needs some TLC.....
….our characters.
Many of us have been playing the ARK for a couple years now, some since the beginning. Everyone is so caught up with TLC for dinos like the griffin/quetz/carno etc., that we seem not be getting (asking for at least) improvements for our characters. Sure we get to level up some stats, but other than that there is nothing that makes a character actually stand out from the crowd. Points can be redistributed with a mindwipe potion to make a character different for a short while, but it doesn't make a character unique.
I hope yall like my idea. Suggestions, changes, and criticism are welcome and encouraged. Please do be respectful though.
