Question about level scaling on The Island

[Piplup]

If you remember in ASE, level scaling on The Island was a lot different to later official maps.
Does The Island in ASA have the same level scaling as before?

[Pumped Crusts]

Yes, most spawns for me are level 60 and below. Not seen a single max level in 12 hours of gameplay

[margalus]

Yes, it's the same game, same code, new engine

in green area south east when i started, within 2 minutes a 116 and 108 raptor attacked and killed me. Have no idea if max is 120 or 150 wild.

Divisible by 4 means 120 max

That's good to hear! Basically I'm happy with anything that I find that ends up being "one less thing I need to use mods for." The built in dino tracker was another one I was happy to see.

Regardless of your difficulty setting, on first boot of any ARK server the initial creature population will be Levels 1-30. Only subsequent spawns will adher to the difficulty setting.
Wich is why you will always get 1-30 Dinos when you start out in Singleplayer and server admins do a dino-wipe after first start.

[margalus]

From very limited experience with ASA it seems that it's like this:

easy 1-30
medium 2-60
hard 4-120
hard with max difficulty 5-150

Strange, i did the same and haven't seen a max level yet. I even went and set max level to 180 after not seeing any and still almost no high levels even after a wipe.

Max levels are extremely rare. That game is weighted to have the majority spawn low

Give it time, I'm sure you will run across one or two after a while.. The more you slaughter the dodo's the more you will see the level spread.

Yeah ill just keep playing and hoping. Like margalus said, max levels are rare especially on the island.
I'm just frustrated 12h and not a single 150 or higher lmao
