Definitely ARKed. Considering how literally none of the carchas I tamed are above 20 melee (and even that i only got on one), it starts to feel like ARK actively trying to mess with me, rather than just random not being in my favor.

Massive animal feces. A fitting way of saying "ouch". Very poopy circumstance. #ARKed? Or #RNGed?

Do you realise that Ark II is still ark at the core and is a Survival Game a Harsh Survival Game..... if you want your hand held by NPC's and be able cast spells and make magic this is not the game for you.

Aside from that one thing "You cannot tame, raise, or breed dinosaurs and then use them to raid base" out of the million points you wanted its basically a mixture of, Witcher / Skyrim : "The ability to have and use magic like fireballs, lightning, water and earth or stuff to do with the elements and have a magic meter. Also the ability to craft spells or something." Monster Hunter: "Permanent grapples that are built on our wrist for traversing, grabing other players and escaping areas or enemies." As well as points 2,4,10 and 14 also scream Skyrim / Witcher style games

So change it from a Harsh Survial Game to a run of the mill MMORPG Edit: You should check out The Witcher, I think you will like it more then Ark (or maybe Monster Hunter) as it soulds like you are basically describing those games

What about the people that don't want to PvP at all (i.e most of the player base). This would get completely abused.

So I feel ark 2 doesn't need a pvp and a pve it just needs one gameplay. 1. it needs towns and npc characters within the towns 2. it needs the ability to rent rooms that have limited storage that are within the town and either can't be accessed or people can break in to your room by picking the lock but a bounty is then placed on your head and players and npc will then pursue you. Also the ability to rent shops and sell items and dinos we have. Also the ability to rent non pvp areas to build on. Also if you steal or pvp within the area depending on the price of the item and damage done a bounty is placed on your head. 3. in game currency 4. we need real missions or quest similar to ones in elder scrolls online or elden ring or just something like that where we talk to npc and there is a story behind the mission. 5. we need some form of offline raid protection. 6. We need vast seas, sky's and deep caves with real boats and flying machines like the ones from atlas, sea of thieves or rust. 7. We need the ability to have mobile bases like the ones from last oasis. It can be packed up and unpacked but is limited to how much can be built within it. 8. We need the ability to actually hunt tames similar to the way you hunt in monster hunter. 9. We also need enemy bases that are made strictly of npc and they don't just wait for us to raid them they actually will try to raid us at times. 10. The ability to have custom made weapon and armor using all the different materials within the game. A crafting style like never before. Like the handle can be made from certain materials and the blade can be made from different materials and depending on what you use will effect its stats. For example if its all metal it will do large damage but is slow and has good durability but say you use metal for axe blade and wood for handle it then does decent damage, it swings faster but the durability isn't as great or something like that. 11. Tribes shouldn't be larger than like 30 people and no more than 1 maybe 2 allys. Megas within this game is a big problem. 12. Also don't make it where we need constant food and drink. It can definitely ruin a game when you have to constantly focus on I'm thirsty or I'm hungry. 13. Also if your gonna make it hard to get materials and actually get built up especially for solo players then it shouldn't be so easy to destroy. Maybe even make it where the more tribe mates you have the less materials you gather that way it's more balanced for those who like to solo games. 14. If you raid others a rage or bounty meter gets put on your base which then makes npc and other players want to raid you so they can collect that in game currency. 15. Animals need to migrate or go into hibernation during certain seasons. 16. A good or evil system would be good. That way if your constantly insiding, stealing and killing others we will know and then others know to avoid those people. 17. Also with the rent an area with no pvp could still have limited pvp where you cant destroy stuff but you can steal stuff and kill people and dinos but it would reflect on your good or evil meter and also put a bounty on your head. But also make where they have to turn this mode on and only get a limited amount of time to wreak havoc like 30 minutes or an hour and get out before it enters a cool down mode of like 3 to 12 hours or something. 18. The ability to have and use magic like fireballs, lightning, water and earth or stuff to do with the elements and have a magic meter. Also the ability to craft spells or something. 19. Nobody should be allowed to build in caves or cave building should be very limited. 20. Certain areas for pvp and pvp building and certain areas for pve and pve building but everything get wiped after so long similar to last oasis. 21. Permanent grapples that are built on our wrist for traversing, grabing other players and escaping areas or enemies. 22. The ability to double jump and the ability to jump, grab and climb onto ledges. 23. The ability to have actual dodge ability while doing foot pvp similar to atlas or elden ring. Also the ability to hold my breath while sniping so that the gun stops moving. 24. A pubg or war zone style arena or mode. 25. Players have a background like when you get kicked from a tribe it they have to give a reason. Like inside, stealing, inactive, or things like that and before you invite them to your tribe you can look at their kick history.

You are aware that ark 2 is already gonna be different than ark 1. Also I have played the Witcher and alot of other games, those games do not have everything i have mentioned and again it doesnt have ability to build or tame dinos and fight to raid others. This list also wasn't just made by me it was a list put together by me and a very large tribe I play with on official pvp. Also they are just ideas. You guys act like because I put this list here that the devs are gonna throw all this in the game. If you are so afraid of change stick to ark 1 until the servers die off. If games don't evolve and add new stuff they become boring with time and die. Don't be afraid of change embrace it. It's literally how humans have become so evolved from our ancestors. Plus you mention how can humans double jump. The real question is how can humans fight giant monsters on the back of dinosaurs and win. It's because it's a video game and video games are not like real life that's why we play video games because we enjoy the fictional things that happen within the video game world.
