I really miss the "Dangerous" feeling in ARK. How to get it back ?

[Elite]

I have reached a point where i dont feel the Danger on the island, same danger that made me say WoW what a game in 1st and 2nd week.

How do i get that feeling back ?

I have everything you think and some more.

Personally I'll never understand how making things more grindy = more fun to some players. Masochists, all of em. I just want my game to be fun! Yahtzee gets me at least.

[Simulated Humanity]

Or, what this guy said... Couldn't put it really any better. Although i dont really take this game all too seriously anymore. Well said there bud, screw WoW. I liked the books better.

You are all looking at it in the wrong way entirely. You think like WoW players, and WoW is a horrible game to begin with that has only gotten worse over time as it was dumbed down repeatedly in order to accomodate people who really suck at challenges so they could bypass the challenges in favor of endless grind.

If you want to feel like you're in danger as a high level character in ARK, go naked. Burn your house down, turn all your dinosaurs loose, throw all your stuff away... and walk naked into the night like an arapahoe warrior with lung cancer.

Or delete your character and start over like I did. I didn't do it in order to feel the danger again, novelty passes a great deal more quickly for me than for most people so I no longer find it terribly thrilling, haven't for many many years. For me it's all about being a pioneer, doing something nobody else has even considered yet... doing something everyone already does but in a surprisingly unique way... doing something that's perhaps supposed to be impossible, even.

After restarting from scratch, and with foreknowledge of what needed to be done in order to achieve certain technological benchmarks, I decided that my bases will be built in places nobody would want a base in the first place. Sheer cliffs with no flat purchase, no features extending out from the flat lethally steep slope to mark them as a prominence. Places where the nearby spawns are so dangerous they're a constant menace to progress, places where just surviving at all is a meaningful accomplishment even if nothing attacks me. Places where the weather is so atrocious that it's a constant fight for survival just against the thermometer.

Places you'd have to be completely crazy to build on. That is how I have given myself more challenge on my second lifetime in ARK, and because I did that... because I launched myself facefirst into the freezing and burning, the rex and alpha spawns, the deepest oceanic chasms... because I've done all of that I have mastered the island. Even tribes with ten times more members than mine defer to my judgement on certain things just out of respect for the crazy amounts of intricate detailed knowledge I am able to utilize against an enemy, should the need arise.

I can use the island's weather and spawn ratios as a weapon if someone gives me sufficient reason... official servers, PVE servers. I have become a sort of demigod, able to terraform the landscape as a means of attacking an enemy.

Reach the level I'm on in ARK, I challenge you to identify the patterns inherent to the procedurally generated environment and wrangle them to do your bidding. Tame the island itself, not just the things on it.

as ive said...id rather start fresh on another level..BUT...This isnt ok for high end game experience right ?

I have all and because no pvp on server which is a big issues...ppl, i, we[ve got bored...

[Lilkinsly]

I run a server where wild dino's hit 4x harder and take 66% less damage. Tamed dino's also do 25% less damage as well. You need to think before you pick a fight. Don't try and solo that Alpha Rex, it wont end well.

All you need to do is find a server like that, and it is certainly more fun.

New Gameplay Mode:

Ive tamed some DOedicurus. Highest is lvl 187 now. And ive put them in wandering mode with an average dino on follow..>Then im going on Wandering mode myself. I mainly walk in my area, blue obelisk and i have now that im in farming mode 1 mammoth with me.

Feels a bit new...and i love being attacked by random animals.

I would recommend ppl sending their dino in the wilds on Wandering mode if possible in order to get that...omg it will die feeling :)

[Chuc]

You can come take a look at my server. We are thinking of increasing the difficulty in the next few days

Have fun

[Serverpirat]

Dont play on private servers just to please the abusive admins there !

Play official PvP, challenge the alpha tribe, use guerilla tactics to tease them, build several small bases to retreat if they discover one and have fun :-)

Not all admins are abusive

[Elite]

I am not leaving official servers. I cant trust someone with God power and Free Items on his hands. At the end of the day...i want my logged hours to be in safe mode :)

[elijahwan]

i love the admin god complex paranoia. Honestly, any admin who gets a big head will quickly loose his entire player base---so...why get crazy? its just stupid on teh admins part. and why be scared of an admin? just talk to them and there will never be and issue--hell they will probably help you out if you are in a jam.

[Khanivore]

The level system is broken, as long as there are levels all will be for naught, balancing is very unlikely to occur, it's either gets too hard or too easy (as you level) if you try tweeking around with a leveling system

Then unless you play single player or on your own server, or hope that vanilla gets harder, you probably won't get any feeling of danger again from the actual environment. The devs have provided us with options because they can't please everyone, if you refuse to use them, that's really on you.

I play on official with 50/70 on prime time.
