After playing pvp for 7 years I think the start of a new fresh game is the perfect opportunity for pve.. that being said I believe the hidden lake on the top right of the map would be excellent
You said cryos make raiding easier. That's the problem big tribes can just roll up on a solos vase throw some sht out stomp the base then move to the next if you had to move your Dino's you wouldn't even go for those bases the effort for reward wouldn't be worth it so they would go for the big reward leaving the small bases to grow giving everyone a longer more fun playthrough and giving everyone a chance to at least have a fight and not a slaughter this is the reason cryopods should never return
i think their lack of wanting to rework the game is terrible, now is the best time to do that stuff lmao also i think surviving as solo/duo/trio will be near impossible you can give it a good go but the way i see it its basically impossible
As a small tribe. Your best bet would be to hide vaults underwater and purlovias. And get loot by raiding and harrasing the alpha. It works really well until cheats become a thing
For me that's the only way I've ever been able to last long on the island mostly vaults tho map too small for purlovias I've tried it before they kept getting found alot underwater vaults is where it's at
@@Jaxxson. that's how I got loot playing as a duo on an island ldl. We started with a purlovia and when the purlovia wasnt that safe anymore we moved to a vault. That vault never got found and it wasnt really that Hidden. We were stacked and we had to make a sky quetz to breed pts and argies. All our good loot was gotten from raids and from the 6 man tribe we harrased lol
Pearl caves might be the most viable thing. mostly no 6x outside and underwaterraiding right at the beginning will be hard af especially on smalltribes and online nearly impossible. Theres no op lines (basilo, oxy stego, megachelons) we shouldnt forget that.😈 overweightgrapple, let their stegos drown and play with settings will make em rage😂 ground heavys underwater are pretty strong, combined with foundation support and ocd spam to keep their fob far away🤗 because of the great amount of pearl caves it will be easy to build one or there will always be one easy to raid. So u start with 1 u can take until u are able to take a bigger/better one
they change all kinds of other things so I wasn't sure. But I was hoping they atleast made it a little better. I remember when i was a noob years ago inspent 8 hours taming a 150 theri on crops. That's way to long imo
@@shaynelogan4462 The majority of the pvp community agrees cave meta was not fun. Im sorry but i dont agree with the " if you dont like it, then leave" sentiment. Cave meta sucks, the same mega tribes ruling the same cluster of servers for years also sucks. You know it as well as i do.
@@shanetestini5547 yes, by saying that they were hesitant to change cave meta they were basically telling us that they couldnt or didnt want to change all the game breaking "feautures" they brought into the game over the past years. outside bases just wont survive if ur not changing meks, astros, stegos, hatchframe dinos and so on
@@r2taderp I agree, my hatred for cave meta is but one part of many things i wanted changed. Breeding nerfs, reducing structure limites on plat saddles for pvp servers, ect........ They had a chance to make the game more dynamic, and far more fun. It appears there going to fumble it though.
In my unpopular opinion, I still think raid windows (6-8 hours each day) would be awesome for official servers. Would give people a chance to have a normal life outside of playing 24/7 on pvp servers
Tbh i have no idea what to do, because i am still deciding on pvp or pve. Didnt liked pvp much, because of the movement speed builds and other things like tribe politics, but now i have the opportunity to join tribe before they are even started.
The sadistic side of me kinda hopes the improved dino AI means Raptors can open doors ...... that would be funny to see players run into stone bases "Ok .... we made it inside, its stone so he cant destroy-" opens door "Hi how are you"
None of it matters, you could try to grind out an advantage from the begining, and on a parallel, a player could wait until genesis 2 releases and that player would still be on a level playing field because of the meta change.
Herb island, ice bergs, Carno island. It will be a race for teleporter engram if you want to build in a cave. Imo they should just ban cave building in general. As for movement speed, soups will probably be meta. Cyros are good for reducing lag, etc, but I loved meat running and roaming servers with gigas and brontos and you had to wait 24 hours to re upload your dinos. Plus, nobody had pocket gigas. You had to ride your tames to the raid or download from transmitter
They should have 1 other dlc map released with the island imo, like lost island or crystal isles or even the center. It would make it more difficult for people to be found. The island is only ganna have alphas that just kill bobs lol
I claim high wheat grass..I pray it's ok ascended because on pvp official Server no one ever found my main base...can't see it from the sky and ground u can't see it and owl vision don't work...but it's raptor city..😮😮
Die ersten 2 Tage werde ich mit Bug Abuse rumprobieren, was wc verkackt hat. Dann geht's ins PVP und entweder irgend n rathole unter Wasser, irgendwo im Sumpf oder Maybe auf herbivore.
Megatribes should not be allowed to let smaller tribes/solos/duos have a better chance. Perhaps you (and a max amount of lets say 5 gamer tags that you tribe with) should be assigned a random server (or cluster) that you have to stay on for maybe one month before you have the opportunity to be assigned another random server if you are not happy about the current server. That would fight people being in larger tribes outside the formal limitations of for example small tribe servers. When you play multiplayer in Halo it works like this in my experience. People get randomly put together. Imagine if you have to play Halo alone against a dozen other players because they have formed a large tribe.
Unfortunately a small tribe of solo to trio will not survive. Maybe a week or two while the alpha builds up but the server will be claimed by a account sharing allied tribes in a few weeks and then they will charge tax and still raid you at the end of the day.
Anyone looking for a big tribe to join for release day on official let me know with a reply Xbox/PlayStation maybe full cross platform we’ve not decided yet
Or just dont buy that game since they literally said they dont want to change the cave or do revamps so its literally gonna be basically the same game just with more compitent people and better graphics (just going back a few years to the good old days)
They just honestly didnt put enough thought into changes that need to happen in pvp. ASA is going to have the same massive issues as ASE after a week and it's gonna die off hard in PvP. Bobs need to be able to play PvP without getting waffle stomped every hour.
You just gather the bare minimum essentials like berries and enough to make a pickaxe then you move inland like a man and build in the wilderness. Screw all of those damn birds.
just the interior, mesh, textures... important are the entrances and they said that some choke points will be reworked but they also (basically) said in a community crunch that they wont destroy cave meta with the "rework"
I know ur showing these locations but be honest are you going to let people own them spots on your mega tribe server because i consider you as one of the more chill content creators on this toxic game and when yiu say no you can only assume no other tribe will either 😂 so im not bothering to buy this game again, unless the block acc sharing on smalls
@@r2taderp cheers for taking time to reply when your server gets put out for all to see I might grab it and put it to the test and see if I survive haha
Hopefully there is PvP servers with mod maps, played Ark too much to play The Island. There is knowere hidden on that map, for Solo to Trios building on The Island is a big no for any experienced Ark player. May as well just give them your loot lol building on The Island is for Megatribes and idiots to raid.
honestly i find the removal of cryopods pretty stupid, leaving massive armys of creature outside jsut isnt optimal, as well as in pvp is just ridiculous, played ark in ealry days, it was very bad, it just not a good idea overall. not leveling speed is honestly the best thing they have done so far tough, foot pvp was just dumb, it get to a point were you have so much speeed that barely anything can hit you, doesn't make foot pvp balanced, and caves either have a rework, to make it balanced to build on them or just outright prevent people from building on them, cave bases or to op and outside bases are kinda meh atm.
Good ol days I remember when they first added whales such terrible timing too I was on center with a raft base and center has about a million whales that come out of nowhere anyways long story short I had two whales come out of nowhere when I was going pass pearl cave didn't even know they were a thing till that day lmao unfortunate way to find out
I got no plan, I've tried to survive in the island before center came out, it's not doable, it just isn't. So basically idk what the idea is releasing the island, they better have some changes to the map
I think moving the artifact to front of the cave making the front unbuildable, redoing the back of the cave and leaving that buildable would be a nice change.
the mega tribe mentality is bullsit in this game they block full servers from people and atack people for just having certain tames and then thereare those tribes that force smaler tribes to gther materials for them and donet even offer protection from there own people tribes need to be limited to how many they can have and how many they can ali with mske the game fun for all not jsut the big tribes
