  1. Awesome response. I think No cave building would make the game alot better for pvp. Cave building has made pvp so boring compared to the old days. I would also like more primitive defenses or smithy/fabricator tier defense. Make the game less tek which has also been mentioned. Think Ark 2 can be amazing would love a smooth 2015 ark experience. Leave the tek for the new kids I miss Brontos rexes and spinos being pvp. Also bring out the experience for giga hunting. I remember 2015 the whole server had a days worth of a war fighting to tame a level 12 giga. Yes they were broken but you didnt tame it without overpowering the rest of your server.
  2. I think what made the majority of us fall in love with this game was its early and deep roots core game. Asside from the countless bugs the game had a thing many games missed. It had a sense of discovery and testing. You felt like if you were raided it was just an excuse to be better, build better, but most importantly play politics better. In the new game primitive will be a cancerous word, we dont need to reinvent the wheel here. I believe having a core 2015 progression system would be the best thing they can do for the health of the next title. We dont need tek suits but quality of life improvements like incubators fridges fabricator tier weapons were never an issue. *Forgot to Note* Game Balancing;Ark 2 should consider having more options of DPS Herbivores. Limited breeding could also bring back the core of wanting to go taming with the tribe, this doesnt mean 0 breeding there should just be limits of what you can do. Mutations should be a appearance only feature not stats. You should have to tame to improve stats in your lines not just hatch 300 eggs until you crack the mutation coding every 12 hours. Events, wildcard has done an amazing job with their holiday events, anything to make a pace change is welcomed by almost all. My belief is non holiday events and just seasonal events would help make the fresh for a long period. Make migration, extinction, breeding season, Evolution, droughts, variant events. Examples: Migration: Certain groups of dinos spawn rates have changed, some have moved to giant herds with a surplus of variety of stegos in the plains. (I will get to a point where I later discuss more variety of dinos rather than high populations with easy location of dios) Extinction: Certain dinos are missing for a period of time, for example there is a story board reporting gigas have gone to the risk of extinction, only highest of levels are spawned being they are the strongest survivors of food chain demands. Their spawn rate in this event drops to .1 of the norm as well] Breeding Season: Dinos lay eggs quicker and raise faster, Baby wild dinos are also available but the parents are stronger and deal more damage to protect their precious young Drought: No water in certain biomes has lead the dinos in that particular biome away where could they be? Variant: This is something I have wanted in the game for years. To counteract the breeding that has become rampent they should steer into the variants they have had previously, they should make variants of some creatures with different appearance features and higher stats/buffs that you can breed into your lines. For example a A;Rex has a scalier appearance and is a tad bulkier (has 3% to wild health increase, will also have a higher health scale and lower overall stamina) B. Rex has feathers and seems slimmer than other variants (has a a 3% stamina and has a quicker turn radius, also a 5% decrease to melee) This is examples that I believe would make breeding more balanced and fun. There will be multiple parts to this I just have a feeling I will get hate for this post but I am an original 2015 player that wants to see this new game succeed. I have a ton of fond memories on this game as well as some pretty mixed feelings at times. The one thing I know is this game was great and can be again. We want better optimization of course but balancing has been huge issue in this game for the last few years of its cycle. Cautiously optimistic to see what we have in store with Ark 2.
  3. lmfao so true, hope they use sotf as a bridge game to see what we like and dont like then release the official sotf a few years into ark 2 polished.
  4. It is a good start and i pray for once the devs will invest resources as they were one of the first titles to offer a battle royale. Matchmaking and Leaderboards... Matchmaking is a necessity with the new system. Sitting and waiting 20 min between each match needs reconsidering. The inventory wheel hud is refreshing and seems like this is the route Ark 2 will be taking however. Please consider adding in the standard Inventory and customizable item wheel. Taming... Taming is lost with the new system. I believe taking it to knocking dinos with power is missing the crutial elements of what makes ark great. Balances... Flyers would be welcomed in the event they should have almost zero stam without picking ability. Create a way for smaller dinos to be part of the mix, pack bonuses should receive a major buff. Ground pvp is absolutely missing. Buff to armor and previously stated expanded inventory would help with checking dura. Crafting could allow a expansion in most areas in regards to item tier and ground pvp. Gameplay... MORE MAPS, with the assets we already have in ark customized versions of the other maps to allow a different meta on each in a matchmaking rotation would make the game fresh on every load. One map could be flyer centric, another ground pvp centric. Any and all assets we can test for Ark 2 should be considered heavily. This game should be used as a bridge to recruit a new population that has never tried ark. This game at its core was amazing and I believe this game could be the grounds to fix the core that was lost in the countless updates in the previous title. PVP hasnt been the same in Ark since pre-extinction. Please use this as a way to see what we like and dislike for Ark 2. Of course the current state needs improvement. The crafting of the original was better in my honest opinion. Crafting and setting yourself up was the best part of the original SOTF. There should be community input to decide how things will move forward. Thanks for not reading this but lets discover Ark again, hope to see updates to the game in the future while we wait for a fresh adventure in Ark 2.
