That knockout style taming is great too since it allows you to do other things while building your army early game. They have slowly gone away from this concept and I have seen the older folks of Ark just not taming these new creatures. Typically they say well its just too time consuming, they aren't breedable, or the taming methods while fun a few times aren't enjoyable to tame after a while.
My concern with ASA and Ark 2 is they will go away from this early game knockout taming. It's what really allows a solo player to be time efficient early game.
Unrelated, but on the main topic. I personally hope they scrap Ark 2 and just stick with ASA and build DLC after DLC. Like WoW has done, that's their best long term business model.
