In this video I discuss a lot of what I think needs to happen to ark ascended to make it the game we all want. I discuss all story maps including The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis Part 1 and Genesis Part 2.

In this video, I discuss the graphics settings and performance optimisations in ark ascended, and the updates that may be implemented, specifically the Unreal Engine 5 update. I discuss ark pvp, the balancing of the game, ark ratholes and bases, bobs tall tales and the pyromane, I also discuss the new addition of CLUB ARK. In the video, I have used clips from several youtubers, including a Xavii PVP video, BAM pvp video, Syntac PvE Video, Raasclark comparison video, and a host of other creators.
I do not own most of the footage shown in the video.

I still think Wildcard should focus more on PVE. The reason Ark got it’s success was because of the wide variety of prehistoric fauna it offered. Yet they seem to have lost focus on that aspect and instead have favored every creature practically requiring a user manual to understand. The survival aspect has been completely scrapped in favor of what is big, new, and shiny

That would potentially be doing what epic did to rocket league (removing trading) and abandon an entire chunk of its community they should focus on both

I think wildcard do a pretty poor job at making PvE or PvP players happy, they will annoy pvp players by one change and annoy pve players by a different one, PvP is 100% the larger side of the community in terms of youtube and online but there are a lot of pve players, I don't think focusing on either is the solution, as changes can be made that are just good for both sides

I would argue that the Noglin was fairly balanced. There were counter-measures you could easily implement, but if you didn’t, you would suffer the consequences.

@14soccerplayer1 5 күн бұрын

Pretty much every viable creature in ark requires some sort of special counter-measure, so yeah, noglin is relatively balanced

Gonna be honest, I might have missed you mention it, but if not I would add to your points on creature balancing that WC should split balancing between PVP and PVE. They could make quick changes to pvp without upsetting the whole community and pve players can still enjoy some more OP creatures.

didnt mention this, but i 100% agree with a lot of it, though certain things they current have feel like it is simply to make it harder for pve and easier for pvp (such as carcha taming, pve have to use wild creatures, pvp can use unclaimed (afaik)) which i dont like, but in terms of strength of creatures and more, yes 100%

I liked this so it gets in the algorithm this was in my recomennded. Firstly they have done some insane cave nerfing crouch bear was nerf to the ground only being good because it has space now and pearl cave was nerfed in a good way as it was super op in ase. The shadowmane is bearly used in ase let alone insta tame servers which makes them very easy to tame yet still never used mainly because all you need to do is net them and then giga munch them. I like the fact that some caves are very op every base in ark can be raided even the op caves some caves definitely need to be nerfed. If anything i agree we need more ratholes and they need to stay because if u dont claim a good cave you are kinda fucked so we need more base spots intentional ones south gate is actually okay maybe should be big enough for a stego but apart from that its okay. We need more tools in pvp maybe even a flyer thats a soaker (should be nettable) i would like to see some revamps for some dinos kept very similar but slightly changed even on aesthetics on dinos we need more pvp dinos as of rn it is theri or rhino for early game dps and pt or bloodstalker or velo for other stuff it isgiga, carcha or reaper for endgame dps and mana (if servers not too laggy) for endgame other stuff. Ascended could have been so damn good ngl wildcard needs to get their head in the game

@rakethemseals 7 күн бұрын

thank you for commenting, its good to get some insight onto pvp, I had always though shadowmanes were used a lot in pvp, I watch some pvp and always thought I didnt see them as gen2 / shadowmanes were disabled on people I watched my point about the cave balance being that we do not have enough caves/ratholes in asa for it to be good, they are both nerfing caves whilst also making living outside of them more difficult (no tek for non-cave tribes, cuz no extinction/gen1/gen2 to farm ele, and the oasisaur making it more easy to raid scorched earth bases (rather then quetzal)) Yes caves are raidable, but there are not enough of them and caves have the tek advantage

@@rakethemseals Also in pvp that a lot of ratholes are unable to be spawned in even if there's a bed down. It just places you in a random location outside of the rathole. Which leads to a lot of smaller tribes being unable to compete with already established players. Lowering the player count and possibilities even further.

I have no idea what you are yapping about, lol. Shadowmanes were some of the most popular tames on ASE and no fob or push, especially on official, was complete without them. To claim otherwise is delusional.

We need towns, npc that give missions for you to go find, fight and bring back items, we need the ability to dodge, the ability to climb without picks, the abilty to jump and grab ledges and shops with currency to soend at them. I want to make my own shops for people to buy from but in like a pve zone on a pvp server but you can only build shops there.

@rakethemseals 6 күн бұрын

i think for pve a lot of this could be interesting, but honestly for the base game simply isnt going to happen The towns/npcs arent really arks "style", but id love to see a mod that does it Dodging is the only one i could see, but even then a bit of a push Climbing without picks would allow for so many glitches and exploits, and wouldnt be something wildcard would want to implement

@TravisTheSavage 6 күн бұрын

@@rakethemseals anything can be arks style it's a game so literally anything can be added. Gotta remember adding fun aspects to a game isn't a bad thing. For the climbing all they have to do is add the climbing picks code to the character. Which shouldn't change anything that would cause glitches because the feature is just attached to the character instead an item. Dodging has to be added its actually one of the biggest things I hate about the game.

@rakethemseals 6 күн бұрын

@@TravisTheSavage i dont quite agree, certain things dont fit the lore and the genre, ark is an open world survival game, not an rpg at heart, not everyone thinks that it would be a good addition, which is why i think it shouldnt be added to the base game. the climbing pick already adds issues, some of which are likely circumvented by it being an item, and it isnt as simple as adding the code to the character, a lot can go wrong when implementing a feature like that i think mods are the solution to this, as whilst it doesnt really fit the game for official implementation, it is something people might want, therefore having it in form of a free, easily installable mod would allow people to have it if they want

Most of what you said is Conan Exiles like, personally I don't think that fits for Ark, NPCS, towns, and quests especially don't fit within the game, not how you think at least. Climbing however is interesting but that is something I'm not sure about.

We need PVX (PVPVE) servers. Need to have both Pvp and Pve zones. PvP zones having the highest rewards ratio ressources. Have people enjoy Pvp but risking what they are ready to risk in those zones. Pvp without full base wipes so everyone can enjoy. I was in a Mega tribe alliance where we owned several servers and were wiping entire servers on the weekend. Never got wiped in the 3 years ive played but honestly it was getting very boring. I miss the small pvp from Ark launching days. Wiping peoples base didn't sound fun anymore and more like being total asshole and a laggy mess of turret draining. The sheer amount of grinding explosives and stuff when they was no rewards to gain from the raid was pretty stupid and i'm not talking about the insane amount of hackers and meshing a lot happening from the actual DEVs playing the game as well and the real $$$ people can make.

@rakethemseals 8 күн бұрын

honestly that could be fun, I think they should release some servers like that just to try it out, and I think the game would be a lot better if they dedicated some servers to rotating "playlists" of balance changes and that sort of thing. I've been watching some of NOOBLETS ark island and scorched earth pvp videos before server transfers, and it seems more fun, but ark pvp has progressed in such a way that some people really prefer modern ark, so having the option between both seems like the best solution. yeah i hate the hacking situation, its awful
