    My hopes for Ark 2

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 08:41 AM PDT

    In general I hope there's (even) more of a focus on PVE content/challenge/progression, more focus on the ecological aspect (dino behaviors, AI), and generally more polish. I think most people want all that. But I actually wanted to take a minute to talk about some more specific things I'd like to see. The first having to do with locomotion.

    The most interesting and fun to use tames for me in Ark are the ones with engaging movement mechanics. Not all of these are polished, but they all feel interesting to use and to master. The sort of "default" flying and running modes that sky and ground based creatures have are purely functional but not inherently fun to use. To give you a radical comparison, I think one of the most fun tames to get around with once you level it up properly is the gasbag. It has this super interesting physics-based locomotion that keeps you completely engaged with it the entire time you're using it. It's a lot more cumbersome than flying an argentavis, but it's also a lot more fun. The same goes for the Rockdrake and the Maewing, and even the Griffin/Snow Owl for having the glide ability. Those creatures become a lot more interesting because there's a bespoke mechanic to their flying that you can get a feel for and even get really good at if you practice with it.

    A lot of physics-based mechanics in Ark are interesting or at least have the potential to be. There are a number of creatures who jump/leap around as their primary form of locomotion and that had always presented interested movement and pathfinding options for the player. On a sidenote, the gravity grenades from Extinction were almost interesting because of their physics-based crowd control options (but I think they needed to be tweaked with some more before they could actually be useful).

    What I'm saying is, I hope they find ways to expand on these unique and interesting mechanics. The dinos that don't really have interesting movement mechanics/options tend to just feel like vehicles (press forward to "go") and they could be much more than that.

    I also think that taming should be more AI driven than it is now. The Shadowmane taming process comes very close to almost being "immersive" (although, due to limitations of Ark it means that it's one of the most frustrating tames to do). I think if the AI were better and if it had better cues for the player to predict what it's doing then we could have a lot more tames that don't just require knocking it out and putting food in its inventory. A big problem is that hostile dinos are ALWAYS hostile, and that "stealth" is really poorly defined. With the Shadowmane you have this interesting mechanic of being able to approach it in a non-hostile state (so long as you wear ghillie). The Shadowmane isn't really non-hostile, but using the limited mechanics available it feels like it is and that you're trying to appease a big fucked up cat. More carnivores should've been like this.

    Egg stealing is another mechanic I've always liked because it's a "taming" process that is more engaging than knockout-based taming (both in the stealing of the egg and the sometimes difficult to meet hatching/raising requirements). I don't think knockout taming is inherently bad, it's just that I think too many creatures use it, and with the exception of a few difficult outliers it's much easier to knockout tame something compared to other methods. "Easier" in the sense that once you knock the thing out you just have to wait, usually an inordinate amount of time. Most of the "difficulty" of Ark can be quantified this way, that it simply takes more of your time. I'd like to see less of that in Ark 2.

    I'm not really interested in going much deeper than this or theory-crafting other aspects of Ark 2, because ultimately the game will be what it will be. I just thought I'd put it out there that I think this game (and series now, I guess) can and should be more engaging on a mechanical level than it is now.

    Name a creature everyone seems to love but you hate or don't care about

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 07:53 AM PDT

    For me it's thylacoleo. Most people seem to love it, but I never cared about it in the slightest. Absolutely uninteresting to me. I love small and big cats in real life, but still thyla leaves me cold.

    Lymantria should be attracted to chem lights

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 08:29 AM PDT

    If Lymantria are just giant moths, they should be attracted to chem lights and charge pets at night like how tapejaras are enraged by wild flowers. Could be a good taming and trolling technique. Imagine throwing a chem light on a buddies back and having 5 lymantria swarm and fart dust on them.
