Fish Scale armor that provides cold resistance and protection.

[King Benjamin]

Hello there, as a primitive ark player, having a base out in/on the water or being somewhat of a water fareing tribe is what me and my friends always have wanted to do, especially when you look at all the awesome aquatic animals revealed so far and in the future. The only problem is that on primitive servers we are not givin access to the scuba set.

So, I was thinking since you're adding in Fish meat and Prime Fish meat to the game soon as well, maybe you could go one step further and add scales to fish, as you get hides from animals on land. This would allow us who want to or already do, live our ocean dream, to be able to as well as having solid protection under water, while providing us much needed cold resistance without having to dump 40+ levels or more into fortitiude which severly limits your character.

Paired with the hopefully soon upcoming Diplocaulus ( http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/ark.gamepedia.com/d/df/Diplocaulus_Dossier.jpg ). We could have the same funcionality as the scuba set, but in primitive friendly manner. It would mean the world to us and im sure others who are struggling in the same situation we are. We Appreciate all the work you guys have done and cant wait to see just how far this game goes!

I don't play on primitive, but hell yeah I'll give you a big old plus one on that. Fish scale armour would be awesome, probably very pungent, but awesome. Maybe it could be crafted from the hides of Dunkleosteus?

That would be sick, but in the dossier it says he is a good source of chitin, I cant wait for that one tho!

+1
megas should give 0, but coels should give some, leedsichtis should give tonnes of 'em.
would be awesome, i 'm going to make concept art!

+100. this sounds awesome

+1 to the general idea, but playing a glorified mod does not make you a special snowflake worthy of any special attention.
Do remember that in the future.

I don't like the idea that it's a "primitive" scuba set. When you choose primitive, you choose to sacrifice the modern parts of the game

That being said, I love the idea of a scale set collected from sea creatures. The devs are wanting to improve underwater, and developing more things for underwater would be a super incentive for us to prepare for that move.

Is only really a scuba set with the cold resistance. They're not asking for flippers (unless I missed something) or the scuba tank.

Even on non primitive servers this could be very fun and helpful. Especially if it's not super high level gear.

.... Its an official server, not a modded one. Wasnt trying to be special, just dont like to play the game with rocket launchers and didnt like not being able to partake in a certain part of the game was all. So relax m8.

Its not a primitive version of the scuba set, its something that would qualify for primitive gameplay providing light armor and cold resestance. We wouldnt get to see under the water, have a respitory tank to breath or have flippers to swim faster, just the insulation part of scuba gear is what we want because their is nothing else in the game that gives enough cold res to survive in all aspects of the ocean.

You chose to not partake in a certain part of the game m8.

This is a neat idea, keep talking guys.

Chosing not to play with rocket launchers is a bit different than not being able to swim in the ocean because of a lack of means. We can tame gigas or build balistas and catapults to break into bases instead of using rockets, but there is no means to swim in the frozen sea without scuba. Maybe try being a decent person for once instead of just a troll.

Hide armor with a high Fortitude attribute is all you need for the cold water up north.

It's the same argument for Oxygen. Just because you don't have enough points in it doesn't mean another piece of gear has to be added to compensate for your choice.

If you want to dive in the cold parts of the ocean and you're unwilling to play servers that have modern equipment then you have to level up Fortitude. Sorry, but that's just how it is.

Theres this thing being added eventually called a Lioplueradon. It has magical skin that allows you to breath underwater.

I like the general idea, as i know that seal hide can actually keep you warm in the ocean (thanks bear grylls) so mabye not fish scales as im pretty sure that would realisticly do nothing, but so form of aquatic animal hide would be good
