Although I completely disagree with your list 😂 it's so interesting how different people take the novelties of every map and like or hate them, and how much people can experience the game differently

I really enjoyed your list 👍. Aberation is still the best in my opinion, the atmosphere is just so different from all the other maps. Besides all the hate and toxicity in the community I truly hope they capture that in there remake. The Center in ASA is really good and I also enjoyed Scorched Earth way more than in ASE.

Fascinating. As a new player, barely two months in and still in the Island, I do have to consider which one to go to next. I’m really enjoying my experience of Ark. I started out merely trying to survive on the southern beaches, to finding Obsidian and Crystal rich places, to where I am now. Right now I’ve been caving and finding Artifacts and my battle team of Yutys, Daodon and T rex squad absolutely destroyed the Gamma Broodmother. I’m 2/3 artifacts down before I fight the Gamma Ape boss. Admittedly I’m a little apprehensive about my first attempt at an underwater cave. I hope that my Basilosaurus and pack of well levelled Megalodons will do the trick. I’ve never really liked the underwater biome, mostly because the wildlife aggro you no matter what mount I pick. And I absolutely despise the electric eel and glowing jellyfish things. Oh well, I enjoy the rest of the Island experience although caving is very low on the “fun stuff to do” list. It’s just been such a fun journey of development from basic day to day survival against Dilos on the beaches, to seeking out particular resources to start building technology, to going after the artifacts and bosses. All I know is that I will follow the storyline maps in order of release/storyline to get a smoothish story experience even if I do have to watch KZfaq videos to get the explorer notes in order to understand it. But the unofficial maps? I don’t know which one to try first. Given my fondness for the crystal wyvern that a tribe mate gave me on my multiplayer character I’ll probably try Crystal Isles next.

Great vid and to be honest dude to each their own. As it is an opinion however we’d all lost it differently. Still great vid!

Biggest issue i had with Gen 1 was inability to build because of "Mission area". If that is fixed with ASA version it could be good. Gen 2 was interesting in it's own way but even when having tek suit from the start makes sense in the story it kind of made the gameplay lacking in exploration, also there are no caves on that map apart from Rockwell innards or whatever it was called. The Center map was one of the most dated maps out there. ASA release made it a little better but even after all that time it is still unfinished. Didnt play Valguero that much but visually it's great map. Extinction makes survival much harder and Titans are much better bosses than the Island guardians. Didnt play Crystal Isles much either but visually it's great map. Scorched Earth always felt like there was something missing and everything becomes way too easy once you get a wyvern. Lost Island combined a lot of previous content and added new creatures like Sinomacrops that easily became very popular. I never liked Island map mainly because of how incredibely difficult it is to find good levels on that map. Abberration obviously became one of the best maps as its content got added to so many other maps. Ragnarok is very unique map and its why it easily became one of the favorite ones. Fjordur is quite different from everything else out there and Nekatus did amazing job. Fjordur have so much to explore from jungles over winter biome to little bit of space biome. Fjordhawk easily became one of the best shoulder tames because it brings you your bag with everything you had on you when you died.

Exactly how I would rank all the maps. Maybe switch Fjordur and Aberration around. Might be because I haven't played Fjordur much.

Super underated KZfaqr, the only thing I would change is extinction being number two

Good to know bro I'm on ragnarok At the moment it's pretty fun

i feel like gen 1 is really fun when you survive for more than 1 second

I didn’t believe this guys sub count at first, when I was watching I figured he had like 100k quality content bro keep. More please!! 😁

Abberation on top! Very fair ranking tho

For me still Ragnarok is nr 1 but I like this list.

Hopefully they dont fck up aberration in ASA, its my favorite map :')

Scorched earth is peak cause the challenge persists till later game

Unpopular opinion: Gen 1 is good, especially the Bog and Ocean (I love the water in ark)

advantages and disadvantages of crystal wyvern 1: there easy to get 2: there the weaker wyverns

How are genesis part 2 and 1 bad They're honestly good Like I rate them like above Extinction

My list! 12. Gen 1 11. Gen 2 10. Aberration 9. Fjordur 8. Crystal isles 7. Scorched Earth 6. Valguero 5. Extinction 4. The Centre 3. The Island 2. Ragnarock 1. Lost Island Unpopular opinion but I really don’t like playing on aberration, and as for fjordur I just don’t like it, I get a bad vibe from it and the map itself just makes be feel bored.

Islands number 1 for me

My 2nd favourite map and the hardest rated the worst what?!?

I swear ark KZfaqrs can not pronounce the names right😂

Bro you really put Aberration at 3rd, have you ever played the Map in its entirety... It is the one map with the most Bugs, the fact that new players would be put off the game entirely if they start with this map, resources are harder to find and procure on this map than any other and many other issues. Aberration has had so much work, tweaks and fixes done to it and yet it is still a buggy mess even now... the Devs just gave up on it in the end

My rating: 1: Fjordur 2: Ragnarok 3: Gen 2 4: Lost island 5: extinction 6: Crystal isles 7: Abberation 8: The center 9: The island 10: Gen part 2 11: Schorched earth 12: Valguero
