Tek Armour = useless in Aberration

[Solgath]

most advance armour ever create, out done by the Hazard suit, really? it's tek armour, best top tier gear, yet - 1) doesn't protect from poison spit, but lets you breath under water? 2) can't be used in the radiation zone in Aberration, 3) full set of normal tek gear will kill you due to severe overheating... srsly epic work there...

I didn't read the entire comment list but, I look at gear as stuiational not a BiS. I have gear for different occassions...

I come a little late... And don't want to be the one tapping the back of the cry baby's around here and say "there, there it all gonna be OK" but you guys know the game have a story? And it explains why tek on aberration sucks right? Anyway, there, there it all gonna be OK

After I read most of it I can't really understand both sides. I would include myself to the people that want tek gear to be all purpose but I can't fully agree to most of the reasons for that. For ARK almost every feature comes with the good old risk / reward dilema. Which delivers most of the decision making and gameplay already. That stuff drives a survival game.
Hazmat would still be crucial even if tek gear would protect you from radiation. You have to come there somehow, right? And that's just the point. All gear in ARK has the purpose to bring you around. You would not just use the flak because it's stupid and dangerous or simply not possible. Imagine an offical ARK player reaching that point, trying that tek armor and findinng out it doesn't do ♥♥♥♥?! That's mean. At the same point you realize you could have focused on finding better hazmat blueprints or whatnot. You basically could have taken other risks instead of putting so much effort into tek. For most people though that's exactly what they want to do! End game content. Satisfying while being incredibly hard to achieve!!! Sheesh...
Btw, I also think it's lazy in some way. It's backwards thinking again ;-) WC may have put new stuff in but it seems they didn't care about the old stuff. From a game design standpoint I totally don't get the charging stations down in the radiated areas. So much for the lore.
Oh, and screw the lore. Serously? It's not like you can tell little Billy anything and he just agrees mindless and continues to play. It doesn't make any sense! Stupid obelisk...

It is weird that the tek armor doesn't protect you from poison gas. It shouldn't have a problem providing that function.

I have to agree here alot of my regular players say the same thing. Here is a 1.2 million dollor Iron man suit, That is weaker than a rubber hazmat. = Legit.......

I think the tek teir is thought to be a fix all easy botton.
It is not. Just cool to have.

Your trying to apply real world logic to a video game? Just stop, seriously. They made a new suit suit that they wanted to force you into, so yeah take off your tek and slum it with the non tek players. Tek should not be a catch all armor.

I'm cool with Tek armor not preventing radiation damage but I feel like they need to increase the durability of the hazmat suit. This game already makes players completely reliant on dinos which is also why everything is so damn easy.
It only takes a couple hits before the suit breaks so currently the only time I dismount in the radiation area is when absolutely necessary.

I would much rather explore the zones and caves on foot but I guess I've always preferred that way over always riding a dino that massacres everything with 0 risk. I love challenge which is why I really enjoy Aberration but I still feel the hazmat suit needs more durability or to not take damage from radiation, only from attacks. Just my opinion.

Цитата допису EzRyder:

uhh, you do realize its gear that supposedly is from the MAKERS of all the Arks right?

It isn't though. Lore wise tek armor is an armor developed by the United Republics of Earth. The one that Diana wears was one put together using components from the ARK as well as the data that Santiago hacked from the URE.

Alright I know this is an old section but in about to learn everyone a few things. One or doesn't matter that haz is new tek is to tier in lore and without blueprints tek is the best of the best I play primarily on aberration. Yes I fully believe tek should allow radiation resistance for a few simple reasons 1) the devs went in enough to add that if you're wearing tek armor and jump into liquid element it recharges the suit. 2) it clearly has a self contained breathing apparatus so no protection against poison is beyond lazy. 3) everyone is saying it shouldn't give resistance because it would be a cover all well yes it's a cover all it is "end game" imbeciles I have a full set of mastercraft hazard blueprints and I used them far before I got full tek armor people argue it would make it to easy until you realize you can't bring anything into aberration so you can't bring the armor or a replicator, which means you have to go into the radiation zone to get red gems element ore etc regardless to craft element to make the replicator then make the armor and that takes time in itself. In my final thoughts your wrong tek should be immune is simplyour lazy programming by the dev so they won't have to put in extra work to change it how it honestly should be.

They just reopened transfers to aberration
