Don’t “fix” the spawn rates…

[Brightside]

Just watched a Nooblets video about his gripe over the spawn rates. I’d like to come here to make the case that we don’t need the changes he recommended.

First of all, it’s about knit-picky as you can get to complain about the dino level on “The Island.” If you’re an Ark player, you’ll know that you need to go to Rag or any other community map for the high levels. That’s Ark on Easy mode. (And you’re welcome to play it when it comes out)

Second, this is a survival game with dinosaurs, NOT a dinosaur game. There is a story to play here. Uncover the mysteries of the Ark and “is that a snake or a log?” Better be prepared!

Third, if you suspect that they sacrificed dino spawn for graphical fidelity, you might be right! If that matters to you so much, please remember that Ark: Survival Evolved is a playable game with less graphics and a hell of a lot more support with mods.

We wanted a more immersive experience. This is what they’ve delivered. I am so happy that the valuable dinosaurs are RARE.

Please don’t push for a change that reverses our game into the bastardization we called Ark: Survival Evolved.

To Nooblets,

Remember that you are a player and a content creator. You play the game, you promote the game.

It is NOT your place to organize a mob with your platform. You are welcome to voice in the community the way I do this, but you’re not special. You don’t deserve to have this game tailored to you and I don’t appreciate the brainwashing you apply to your loyal fans that will impose your will.

This game is a step in the correct direction. It has never been more immersive and requires a fresh approach in order to appreciate it.
Don’t play it like ASE, it’s a new game.

You’ve really embraced the doomer negativity that stirs negativity in your comments section. The more you stir, the more you see, the more you think that way.

This is the classic positive(negative) feedback loop we are used to from Social Media and it is going to take self discipline to mind your impact on OUR community.

Stop posting negative videos for the clicks and do the ethical thing. Your channel got big because you posted guides.

Remember, you’re a guild creator, not a compelling critic.

Respectfully, your viewer of 6 years,
Brightside

Just read through the entire discussion, Brightside is correct. If you want those buffed spawns, wait a little while for Rag to come back. The Island should remain as is.
As someone said, it is much easier to fight a level 40 raptor on foot than a 150. However, you will very quickly find yourself no longer travelling on foot, and if you tame that 150 raptor(Something extremely easy with just a primitive bow and bolas), you'll easily be able to kill low level rexes, something I personally don't think should be so easily achievable.

One of Brightside's main points is to prevent absurd progression speed, keeping players with stone tools for longer, and with a smithy for longer before a fabricator and eventually tek replicator.
It should be a challenge to reach metal nodes and get back to base safely, at least at the beginning.

I hate to break it to you man, but spawns are indeed actually broken currently... It's not intended.

I didn't even watch the nooblet video, just my own server console:

You might want to take that down, block out the IP better, and then put it back up. The red lines don't block the whole text and they're inconsistently placed so a bit of work in a photo editor could probably show the IP address.
Someone would have to *want* to do something with it still, but better safe than sorry.

Fair point, I kinda made it hastily. I wasn't too worried about it, but didn't want to just throw the IP addresses of my players out there either.

Thx for pointing out how the inconsistency might be enough to still get them. I took down the original & made the bars wider.

and the cool thing about ARK is that you can set your game exactly like you want! It doesn't mean others don't like level 150 dinos on the island though. Popular opinion seems to be "If you're not playing my way, you're playing the wrong way"

You are going to get that high level raptor eventually anyway. And if all spawns are higher level then there will be less lower Rexes to take down and more higher level ones to have to deal with. It all works out to be the same, the difference is just how long it takes you to find the higher level. It just makes the game slower for no reason. I'd rather spend the time breeding and having fun with mutations than I would running all over the island for hours looking for a decent level dino

It's August 2024 and I've been searching the Island for any leveled Anky for 3 hours and have barely seen ANY dinos, let alone an Anky. So yes, Ark should fix the spawn rates since they are indeed broken.

My humble advice, go to "herbi island" (SE, around 84/84, you're sure there will not be predators who will influence), kill all the Ankys, the game will make respawn others, stay in the vinicity but NOT on the islamd, come again in "some time" and again and again till you find your Anky high level. 😉

Surely you can recognize the irony in your statement.
My voice represents others who share similar opinions. I may be first to the table, but I’m not the only one who thinks that a rebastardization of Ark is NOT what WildCard intended as a remaster.
The game was broken as ASE and if you think that power-crept game is what the standard should’ve stayed as, WE firmly disagree with you.

uhm..no..
your voice represent only yourself, you wasnt voted as some spokeperson for some community

dont be crazy, you are not "WE"
you are just you, talk for you, not for your invisible friends, voters and whatever.

use "i" instead of "we"

he represents my thoughts
