RaephClark Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 My curiosity just hit me recently, since they’re giving an update to a lot of features in ASA, do you guys think there’ll be more TLCs for old creatures? I was thinking these Dinos could use a little extra love: Ankylosaurus- Perhaps give it more damage via tail club swipe? A temporary KO that lasts a couple seconds? And maybe extra armor?Araeno- wall climbing and web crafting, a spider’s gotta be a spider. Plus webs could be a cool trapping mechanic Diplodocus- tail whip, could maybe give a stun effect, plus the Diplo needs more utility than just travelOnyc- idle ceiling hanging, plus this feature was originally scrapped!Pachy- definitely needs love, maybe its head charge could slow larger creatures down by hitting their shins? Therizino- maybe a fresh redesign? Other than that, it’s perfect Titanoboa- real-life counterpart was a constrictor, so it could use that feature to give it some utilityTitanomyrma- needs a Queen, ‘nuff saidWoolly Rhino- fresh redesign, the face and body contrast too much from each other So those are my thoughts on the matter. I would really like to hear other’s input if they’d love to share! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeBomb2003 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I rekon they should. It wouldn't make much sense for them to go and redesign everything down to the trees but not at the very least update some of the creature designs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheneighnay Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Most tames should be reworked from the ground up imo. The majority of the ones in Ark 1 are made obsolete by another tame. Like, who uses a gallimimus when flyers are not only easier to tame, but more mobile and won't get attacked by anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddt23 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Couldn't agree more. A complete rework would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin998 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I agree-they'll hopefully listen to some community opinions on creature designs in ARK 2. I mean, if they just reskin the ARK 1 creatures, no one's buying it because "ASA" is the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaephClark Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 I think one reason most creatures haven't received a TLC is because they are more "gimmicky". Like for example the Dimetrodon's are kind of a poor-man's insulator for staying warm in freezing climates, and yet they can be outshined by Otters or just wearing better quality Fur Armor. So far the best use I've seen them for is just painting their sails because they're nice and flat. The Gallimimus is fast, but only in areas without obstacles, like the deserts. However, it could be used in fun races. As far as I can see, most creatures could just be considered ambient life at this point, however I would indeed love to see more utility from them, or at least servers hosting events featuring them so they have a chance to shine. I remember someone in a discord discussion mentioning giving the Dodo a TEK attachment that lets them shoot lasers everywhere and explode upon impact. That would be extremely funny if it became a reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delran Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 A lot of creatures desperately need a TLC to catch up and/or become useful in the current state of the game. Hopefully ASA will accomplish this, but that remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverlordHero Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Honestly I would expect the creatures that show up in the game to have already been updated. It'd be very strange if we have some creatures updated but not others that appear in the brand new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
