  1. Hello Everyone,

    So I am a big ark fan and I play the game since it got out. I wanna make this threat so we can discuss some ideas to make ark 2 a better and richer experience. I also wanna say that I prefer the primitive part of the game, and a more tribal look. However Tek and other ideas are something that we can discuss. The following ideas are what I think in my personal opinion that will make the game a little more interesting. Just want to keep the discussion non toxic. Sorry if there are some writing mistakes, I am not a native English speaker.

    Thanks,
    Hope you enjoy

     

    Progression
    To me, this is the biggest ark problem, since alpha tribes just crush beginner tribes and that just make servers empty. I would like to suggest a different progression system.
     

    • You will have basically 4 or 5 different ascension levels. First you are a beach bob with only thatch and wood building structures, low level weapons, you can only tame certain dinos, for example raptors and pteras. You can still have rex and other dinos in the map, but you don’t have the level to tame that.  If you want to go into the next phase you will need to defeat a boss or several bosses to go to a different server (Ascend) where you will have for example stone and brick building, hide and chitin armour, you maybe can tame a allosaurus and argies. Next level metal tier, you can tame rex, have metal buildings and metal armour, gunpowder weapons etc. And for me this should be the max level, but this is just me because I don’t like tek stuff, but you can add another level and I will just stay in the metal tier and not ascend. Everything that you tame in the lower tier you can download to the higher one but not the opposite, you can not download a rex to the first tier for example. And in this way you will have a better balance In the server, every dino will have a role, not like what happens now, for example no one uses carno or a allosauros  because they can have a rex right away.  This way everyone can have the experience that they enjoy the most about ark, without felling that they don’t have a chance. Also to make people want to  ascend, so they dont just get stuck in the first tiers, you can  add more level to your character when you ascend.


    Map

    • Only one big map, with several environment. Like and underground aberration zone, a grassland zone like ragnarok, desert like scorched earth, islands like in the island, swamp, ice zones, more rivers like the center. I think its better to just have 1 map with everything on because makes the servers feel less empty, when you have like 8 different maps you will scatter the players so much that the servers will feel empty.
    • More natural elements, like lighting storms (when active is very dangerous to ride a flyer, because you can get hit by a lighting that makes your flyer to land, or dismount you.) Sand storm, ice storm. Some river can get solid ice, and other can dry in some seasons like you do with the lava in the volcano of ragnarok.
    • Seasonal climate with the same time as the real world, and also when you are in the winter time its easier to find for example high levels rhino and other ice biome dinos, but when its summer time the chances of getting a 150 its reduced and vice versa in the other seasons.
    • Active events and map variation like fornite does. Meteor impact can modify some part of the map for some time where you can have for limit amount of time many resources, better loot, high level dinos etc. (Like fallout 76 does when a nuke explode)
    • Have no build areas where you have high resource density, for example metal in the volcano. No building in the obelisk, and no building in the event zone.
       

    Dinos

    • Less taming time, but more resources to tame them. So we spend more time gathering things to tame the dino which is much more interesting than wating hours and hours doing nothing and possible your tame be ruined by some wild dino or players...
    • More interactive taming: Using the fish rood to tame some water dinos, using different type of traps to different type of animals, like a pitfall that you need to lure the animal into, and when its finish just disappear, for smaller dinos a net trap in trees.
    • Herds roaming with sense, like desert dinos going to oasis. Herbivore near rivers drinking. Carnivore pack hunting. Some dinos sleep at night, other sleep during the day. Baby wild dinos, egg nest for dinos.
    • Try to stick to the dino theme. I know having something like rock drake is cool, maybe only in corrupted areas like aberration you can find these non dino tames, but try to make them as dinosaur like as you can like the rock drake, not like the blood stalker.


    Saddles

    • Different tier, different skin material (For example, primitive (Cloth); Ramshackle (Hide); Apprentice (Chitin), Jouneyman (Stone); Mastercraft (Metal); Ascendant (Tek)
    • Saddle/Dino Attachment:
    1. Metal claws into a therizino to give it higher melee damage.
    2. Metal teeth grils for carnivore to add extra damage.
    3. All flyers could use an jetpack attachment to increase the speed, but not that much, just a boost.
    4. Herbivore can have metal spike cover in their natural spikes to give more damage and give damage back to the carnivores.
    5. Heavy Flyer like quetzal can like have 1 or 2 bombs slots.
    6. Anti air turret saddle with 360º vision below a big flyer dino similar to the quetzal.
    7. Utility Saddles: Farming saddles, fishing saddles, mining saddle, that will give different boosts, for example mining saddle for the ankylo add a reduction of 50% in metal weight and have a little forge in it, fishing will have like a fridge that help keep the fish from spoiled. Carts that you attached to dino and can improve your weight transport capacity.  
     
     

    Armour

    • More customizable armor and attachments
    • Chest: Aberration wing, you can also add a mini jet pack like the tropeognathus has to give it a small boost. You can also add just one parachute to it.
    • Legs: Some sort of spring like exoskeleton that mas you run faster, jump a little higher and reduce fall damage.
    • Gauntlets: Attached climbing pick, grapple, gps
    • Helmet: Attached a light, night vision googles, spyglass
    • Fist (New part): Add knuckles or Claw’s to increase damage when you fist fight
    • Feet: No ideia yet.

     

    Building

    • Add magnet points in every building structure and make it possible to able or disable this.
    • More type of structure like S+
    • Make every structure to be able to fit in 1 or 2 high. Don’t make like the fridge our vault in ark 1 that are like 1.5 high.
    • Smaller industrial forge, or at least a mid term forge.
    • Make every building item in every tier, not like the hatchframe you have a metal and a stone, but no wood or tek, does not make sense.
    • Furniture: Add more crafting stations, like one just for making saddles, one for armour, one for weapons and tools, one for drinks, one for food, and make them for every tier, the better the tier the more room and speed will give to crafting.
    • Add more decorative furniture, more musical instruments.
    • More types of traps and defense turrets.

     

    PVP       

    • Better hit registering
    • Better and more complex sword and fist fight.
    • Put a cap on speed, it just impossible to hit someone going 200km/h with bad registration, then its just flamethrower pvp with no skill.


    Weapons

    • More primitive weapon, like different type and style of swords, smaller cutting weapons.


    Resources

    • More resources, like different type of minerals, silver, gold, and have different type of pick and tools to harvest different type of materials.
    • You should not be able to drink water from the ocean, and if you do so, you will get more thirsty,only if you boiled the water for example.
    • Precious stones, cooper etc..

     

    Farming

    • More Vegetable, Fruits, Berries and make them biome specific, and plant (Bush) specific.
    • More interactive farming (Ex: You need to climb with climbing pick to collect bananas, or use a dino to shake the tree.
    • Better farm animations, like cutting wood, mining, hunting.
    • Bigger farms, not just crop plots, you can use something like a dirt foundation to have a big farm.
    • More Farming Tools (Ex: Shovel).
    • Farming Dinos (Ex: morelatops can be attached with some type of primitive farming tool to drag it into the crops.
    • More recipes
    • The more you or a dino farm a material the more experienced you or he will become. Like If you farm wood non stop you will get better at it and harvest a little more. Little like the therizino point in farming that we have now in ark.

       Other

    • Make the game more tribal look, in structures, armour, dinos, body paints also tribal body paint dinos.
    • Make the  max number in tribes be 10 people, so you don’t have a mega tribe that can lock the whole server from entering.
    • Keep “cryopod” idea, it helps with base size and lag, make it so that you just use your implant to collect the dino. Maybe make a more primitive cryopod.
    • More cave dungeons that you can only enter to complete and not be able to build.
    • Tier caves, so you can explore some caves with early equipment.
    • NPC like that showed in ark 2 trailers. Like with small camps and bosses in the map that you can raid.
    • Social zone in the map. Like destiny 2 you have a place where you can just hangout with other players. Like a central zone of the map, even in pvp mode players and dinos can not be killed or picked like in pve. Will be great to have markets, stores, vending machines where you have the possibility to put your dinos, or items for sale so the other players can buy, like an action house.
    • Would be great to have an app that can send you notifications, like dinos is tamed, you are under attacked, see server chat, see who is online from your tribe like the tribe log but into an app. And just because we can dream with dododex implemented 😉. Also if possible to have a type of market in the app where players can put their tames and eggs or anything for sale so other can buy them would be awesome.

       

    I know that there is plenty more ideas and suggestions that we can make, but to me this are the best ones. Feel free to comment with your own ideas, and I will pick them and put into the document to make it better and more completed.

    Thanks,
