ThePryBar Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 What will be included in part 2 Just as the title asks. What is included in part 2 of genesis? Is it a new map? Or new game modes? Just what is this part 2? Will it release within a month of part 1, given it still says winter 2020 and spring starts in march? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyHippo Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Genesis part 2 will include raptors, parasaurs, fiber, metal, wood, drinkable water, and element. More seriously, we know nothing about it really. It'll most likely be a new map, considering every dlc has been a new map so far, but that's all anyone knows Most likely it'll be delayed by at least 2 months because they they spent 2 months working on part 1 that they planned to spend on part 2. Also, winter starts in December, so even if it isn't delayed, it wouldn't be within a month of part 1. It's a bit tricky because winter goes through two different years, but usually the year stated is when the winter starts, not ends, so winter 2020 is the winter that starts in 2020, not the winter that ends in 2020. Really it should just be listed as winter 2020-2021 instead of winter 2020 because it's confusing, but they plan on missing the date anyway so it's not that important I guess.

St1ckyBandit Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I have a problem with forcing a 35$ season pass down our throats without any real road map of what it includes besides a vague winter 2020 batch of content. Why can't they just release this new map coming on the 25th as a separate DLC like they've done every other time? It reeks of one last money grab before they shut Ark down and start working on ark 2. That being said I'm pumped for part 1 and if buying the season pass is the only way I get to play it then I guess they have me over a barrel.

You'll most likely be able to buy the dlc separately from the pass once the dlc releases. They've never given us the ability to buy a dlc before it's released before. If you don't want the pass, just wait for release to buy. Butttttttt, if you're really pumped for part 1, I'd guess you'll be pumped for part 2 as well, and given that the pass costs less than buying each dlc separately, you might want to consider that the pass might be a better deal anyway.

Aha didn't think of that. So clearly part 2 will be December 2020, that makes a lot more sense. Wildcard or Snail or whomever is in charge probably meant that all along lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knappieboy Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I have never heard of someone interpreting winter in that way but yeah they meant December 2020 so its several months down the road from part 1. It would be cool to get some teasers for part 2 since it is a season pass but i think what we are getting is worth wayyyyy more than $35. Now if only other Survival games would catch up to WC's level >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeTea Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I think people are mistaken thinking part 2 will release in December. They said winter 2020 which start December 2020 and goes to March 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexagons seem to be like a currency and if they are truly needed to travel between biomes (really hope it isn't) then I won't be a big fan..

Yea, I agree that needing to spend Hexagons just to move from biome to biome would get really bothersome. I'm thinking (hoping) that biome travel will work like this: You can travel between biomes freely at wherever they connect, while Hexagons can be used to teleport from wherever to another location. So it'd be more of an optional thing than a road toll. Or maybe Hexagons are just used for special travel, like to dungeon-esque areas or boss fights. I get the feeling that this isn't it though.

Maybe it is just needed to go to the lunar biome. I would be fine with that. Or maybe to the obelisks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeRon Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hexagons may bring micro transactions into the world of Ark. I think the mission based stuff will feel forced and take away from the open world concept that Ark has thrived on. Worried times ahead for sure as Genesis feels like a huge shift away from the core of Ark, but we will still have all of the problems of the past Arks.

It could work so that you can teleport from anywhere but only to specific locations (e.g. obelisks) so you can't just drop onto a tribe's base from nowhere. 5 minutes ago, AwesomeRon said: Hexagons may bring micro transactions into the world of Ark. I highly, highly doubt that pc ark is going to start doing microtransactions. 5 minutes ago, AwesomeRon said: I think the mission based stuff will feel forced and take away from the open world concept that Ark has thrived on.

It'll be different for sure, but I don't know about bad. We'll have to wait and see how it is before we can really pass judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i do think it would be a good idea starting out with a good amount of Hexagons and making to that the survivors have to use them wisely. But yes i think having an alternate option like flying or walking to the biomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark has always been abit difficult when it comes to change. But hey so far they havent done alot of "bad change" recently. So lets keep out fingers crossed they can keep a streak going .
