Why will Aberration have a no-flyer rule?

[Shockal]

From what the devs had said (I think), this underground cave system will only welcome gliding. True flight sources like Pteras and Wyverns will not be able to be sent to Aberration.

We only have alpha wyverns in Scorched Earth and that's it...

I am excited about no Flyers On Aberration, walking, leaping, climbing, swimming and gliding is way more fun, you can build floating bases where not everyone can get to without the right gear and such. Difficulty is way more increased with all these digging creatures, without light you are done. Sounds scary and awesome

I'll bury myself deep in abberation with waves of the crab tame :P Just snatching up players and small tames in the dark xD

we should have a mechanic where flying high drains oxygen and flying at all spawns alpha argies to chase you but they leave you alone at ground level

Definetly no.

Personally, im glad for no flyers, sure they definitly have their uses don't get me wrong, But it really does sever a huge portion of the game off, I tried a no-flyer server, it was far far more intense, and alot of fun, breathed all new life into the game for me, having to prepare to journy out to get metal, stuck out there for several days in-game, lost two trikes, unable to rely strictly on dino's for protection, also lost 2/3 of my raptors, Certainly sucked, especially as i had to leave things behind, but the payoff in fun was absolutely glorious, and i felt as if i had actually accomplished something worthwhile, If i had used a flyer? there and back in a few minutes.. lose nothing, no risk, easy reward, Meh... It reminded me of the intensity from when i first started playing, where carno's were my bane, and raptors and rexes scared the hell out of me, And taming anything required skill, and patience, Having to throw down torches at night and protect (hopefully) my new tame, It really was fantastic! Of course, there were those moments i would get frustraited, and missed having a flyer, but overall, i would rate the expierience 10/10

Aberration will have a no flier rule because the developers want to encourage diffrent ways of travel. Its also hard to fly around in a place that has practically no atmosphere. There will still be gliders and wall climbers, and since lots of it is in a cave, that will take you to most of the places you want to go. I think it will be a nice change. Fliers are still kinda OP, even after the nerf.

Just fly below the atmosphere

Kinda hard to fly below the atmosphere when there isn't an atmosphere.

I meant undergound - and don't tell me they won't work cause they'll keep bumping into rocks! The Tapejara would've swerved around them perfectly.


I don't think any of these lore theories make any sense so far...

Alpha wyverns spawn on ragno as well.
Honestly i think it fixes a huge hole in ark. Fliers make life way to easy. Beside the new dynamics of this game aka mountain climbing and wingsuit flying. These are the focus points of aberration i think. Fliers would kill some of those new dynamics.

How about .... because pple have been asking for a no flyer official?.... true fliers simply didnt evolve?.... the Ark builders didnt Want flyers on Abberation?...why must Lore dictate it?

I'm definitely an anti-flyer person (Even post-nerf, flyers trivialize travel and make a ton of content irrelevant), but this seems like a map design choice.

in a world without flyers.... every base would be by the water so we could use the fast water mounts since the fast land mounts are usually lame the odds of anyone wanting to walk across the map every time are low lol.

Not quite, as ocean access usually means lack of mountain access.

Theres a dino on the screenshot that has wings tho.

its a glider, you can glide in the air, swoop down, then push up to get more height/distance. if youre not sure as to how this works, the griffin on ragnarok is a prime example. get some practice in!
