New to Aberration
Hi, I have never player Aberration in ASE, so I don't know how it looked/played. But a couple of questions.
Was it always this hard to navigate the ground on foot? I started on the second lake safe spot, and I find it hopelessly hard to traverse the ground, especially when going from lower to higher area. The foilage is so high and dense that I cannot properly see all the edges, and jumping at stones feels like pure luck. I also experience a ton of glitching into the ground, especially on slopes, when trying to get to higher ground. I am guessing that there is actually a lot more glitching that I can actually see, due to the foilage.

Was this also an issue in ASE?

Aberrattion always tries to kill you, even on loading screen. Its a hard map (with proper settings), and awesome as well.

I think your ASAs should be ASEs yes?

The new foliage craziness is a ghillie suit for cliff edges and terrain holes, but the map layout hasn't changed much, and as such the multi tiered map without flyers, is a part of the challenge of the map.

All ARKs are nuisance early game, abb a little more so due to lack of flyers.

As you get more mobility, you'll learn more of the map including pathways to higher levels.
Ravagers and ziplines, glidersuit and parachutes, the new yi-ling and cosmo, the paid tame pyromane and ultilmately the rock drake will all significantly improve your mobility

Indeed ment ASA :)
So there are no flyers on Aberration? Damn, not sure I have the mental stamina to keep going then. I swear I glitch into the ground/slopes constantly.

1. Drake's saves;
2. You can enable flyers (at least i do it in ASE) if you really need to;
3. Its the best map to scream "What the ♥♥♥♥" ever 5 min (+/- 30 sec) for a first hours :)

Forgot two more, climbing picks and goo gun.
There's also the zeppelin, which is technically flying, but it's soo slooow you'd rather walk.

Don't get put off too quick with the lack of true flyers, it makes this map much more rewarding to explore. When you have a rock drake (and saddle) you'll easily traverse map.

Thx for the suggestions, not giving up yet. But I really do hope the glitches will be fixed.
