kolpo Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Does the inclusion of children in the trailer mean players can breed? Like could a high stamina player breed with a high Weight player and get children that are good in both? Protecting those children was a large part of the trailer.

Cucharon Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 But the child has the implant. So I think the girl is like the other survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazerbeam Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 it would be sick if you could either play as that character or you could have that new child harvest, such as you give it a tool and in a menu you select what you want it to harvest or if you want it to use a tame to harvest the resource then you could select the amount or time you want them to harvest.

Long ago did they plan to do something like that in Atlas: player can breed and play with offspring once it is adult. But haven't played Atlas since then(preferer Ark) not sure what happened with that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertymine Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hopefully not. Seems so out of place for Ark, more of a Conan Exiles concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm81 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Npc children would be cool and could provide stat buff for players. Maybe put in a psychological stat that children buff and if it gets too low your other stats start lowering. Would make the game have a tribal bloodline clan feeling to it. Players rely on children for mental health stat increases and npc children rely on players for food and protection. As for the implant on the child that’s easy to put in some sort of lore that it’s actually made from an organometallic compound literally grown from the cells in then body during gestation.

JustAnotherBeachNoob Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I feel like this would out solo players at even more of a disadvantage. Also, if people thought breeding Dinos for mutations was sick. Wait till you try and get a fully mutated human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm81 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 In favor of npc children not in favor of breeding humans. The creepy factor just too stronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could indeed disadvantage solo players, even if they have human NPC would players probably still have better min/maxed stats for breeding. Some tribes could use mutations to give every tribe member tribe colors: Like a Green+blue skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosavy Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I hope so. It be cool to breed and make AI babies. Ot be like sims. But the kids do chores and sometimes defend the home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no need to balance based on solo players on a tribe game because when expanded to a tribe setting it becomes exorbitantly more OP. Some times we need to think of the good of the game outside our own needs and wants, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodoRaptor Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 "Breeding humans." Say that aloud. It sounds REALLY creepy. And mutations? Oh, hell no. I don't think any sane person is going to want to shotgun infants to death to build a master race of green-skinned warriors. The implant also suggests that the girl wasn't naturally born anyway.

MPCaesar Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 i think it would be cool to have a tribe made up of your children NPCs doing chores and everything, its like a reconstruction of the prehistoric tribes; i think it would be cool to get them to ride dinos too! As someone mentioned about solo players being disadvantaged, i think they should make massive open-world maps with massive lobbies- hundreds and thousands of players; maybe so big where only mid game you can encounter enemy tribes and fight (players will spawn far away from other tribes), so you can have time to settle, adapt and survive! Or make a cool-down for how long it takes to respawn, so everyone has time to escape and increase survival chance. Game developers did say it is a multiplayer game so it is quite unlikely that they will balance it out for solo player imo. Everything is up to imagination, the game is coming in 2021/2022 and they did not reveal any features. Lets hope the game will be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ckyBandit Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I hope this is a feature. I'm in a duo tribe and it would be hilarious to mate our characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertymine Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Maybe making them in a biochamber or something, but definitely not breeding. Sacrificing all the little helpless babies to the jaws of my Giga doesn't really sit right to me as a feature in Ark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
