[@jithel7948]

quetz 50/50 was a very useful bug on ragnarok, as the quetzs would path predictably enough that my tribe was able to construct a trap near the frozen lake that the quetzes would consistently fly themselves into for taming.

[@LeoTheYuty]

I remember most of this solely because of how many ARK videos I used to watch before I even had the game. Unfortunately, I had neither a good computer nor any console that could run the game, so despite wanting to play ARK for years, I never got to until early 2020. Now that I have it..... it's pretty decent actually 👍 (also I experienced some of these things from the Switch version, which was permanently stuck on an older version of ARK for years).

[@paulshort1027]

I bet there arent many players left who will remember the kamikaze Pteranodons slaughtering beach Bobs on their first release.

[@nishbrown]

OG, early access day 1 egg farmer, here. There were chains of consecutive animal to kibble paths for taming all of the animals. 27 Oviraptors, average 5-7 of every egg layer, 1 male per species. 357 tames in total. Lag was an impenetrable defense. But it was a second job. So much lost sleep 😆

[@michaellnss]

Not sure how you forgot to mention when you even showed it was the ascendant rocket launchers that could legit destroy an entire base with 1 rocket

[@denotizz]

dude, this is an awesome video, i've only watched 1/3 of it and im really enjoying it. You're underrated for sure

Fun Fact: the old dire bear model can be found on Ragnarok (correct me if im wrong but i think its that map)

[@missRwaf]

oooh those good old days where you couldn't land on flyers xD forgot about that one... this brings back lot's of memories, sometimes I forget I've been playing this game for so long

[@TMK411]

I swear when Quetzs were originally added they didn’t have the Mohawks. But I might be wrong there

[@thaforgotten7396]

I'm suprised you didn't mention the item weight change with in boxes. How you used to be able to put a plateform saddle on a quetz and use storage boxes to haul massive amount of rss as the weight of items within the boxes wouldn't change your querz weight

[@scovver9267]

When I was quite a bit younger playing this game, I always used to think the hot (not overheating) icon was fried chicken, it actually took several years to realise it was a flame... I was a slow kid

[@aaronjohnson5182]

I still remember finding all the new dinos that got added being excited learning the game mechanics and everything when this game first released. This game has changed so much(for the better) and im happy to experience the beginning. I didnt play during early access but i remember pre ordering it and playing the beginning. I also remember when the center was playable with friends 🙄 our favorite map as a kid

[@Notarys]

Ha, love this. I did like the old kibble system. You couldn’t land?? 😂

[@tomcasey7136]

Yeah I feel like alot of tames became useless after the update. Back in the day we always had a dozen scorpions. Don't think I've tamed one since.

[@markmeyer6800]

I do miss most of what the game used to be. The one improvement I liked the most out of all new items was the cryo pod. The next would have to be the kibble re vamp. New players will never understand the struggle of having a kibble farm of all the Dino’s to tame certain Dino’s! 🤣

[@lxlime8095]

I thought I would know most of these concidering I started playing in 2018/2017 (not sure which one) and I only know like 30% of these, great video though!

[@shockwave3648]

Hey man I loved your video, nice work compiling all that info, I started playing on 2022 and I definitely knew very little from experience but I’ve read about it. PS: About the Quetzal 50/50 I’ve tamed quite a number of Quetzals back on The Island and Crystal Isles specifically and I can definitely say they go somewhere around the middle of the map. They don’t fly straight to 50/50 but always end up there somehow. I recall on Crystal Isles you always found them at the savannah or emberfalls biome, and they always ended up at the central river with the copper peaks/red tree forests(not redwoods)

[@deputyhobbs9683]

I played ark back in its early access, back when test servers were around. A lot of of this "old" stuff wasn't even around back then, since what is considered old didn't even exist in the beginning! Bodies and poop also glitched everywhere, it would twitch and kinda just flop around or reset its position like it was lagging

[@switch-axe]

I started playing back in 2017 and haven’t had played in like a year this brought back so many memories

[@mymountaindew1]

I remember the jump puzzle on the center map in the underworld that would award you with ascendant gear if you got to the end

[@DivinionFaith]

Been listening to your videos in the background while I'm doing my resource farming. I have to say it's a lot of nostalgia (not always good memories) while listening to this one. But you are killing me with how you pronounce "similar". Sim-U-Lerr is how you say it, but it's Sim-Ah-Lerr. Just had to tell you that you are bringing out the old man in me while I wave my fist in the air. Enjoy your videos all the same. 120 was max level on The Island for a very long time after The Center came out with 150 max level. If I remember correctly it took some mod to increase it before it eventually became a server setting to override max level for The Island. But I want to say it was after Scorched Earth came out before it was made as an official setting option for servers.

[@BlastHeart96]

I remember the “floating” babies glitch. Also I remember one of the earliest Fear Evolved made the nights longer, colder, and aggressive cave creatures roamed everywhere. It was hell if the early to mid stages of the game. Especially if you hadn’t build a well defended base yet with storage houses for tames.

[@shareehocking6294]

Fun fact: moschops being ridable was actually a bug that happened, but when they fixed it, so many people complained, they added it back in!

[@JayrodTooFly]

Can’t forget about old breeding levels. Used to pop out lvl 596 rexes with insane stats before they removed all Dino’s over lvl 500

[@fifismatik7594]

Ark's og combat music is so epic, it makes me nostaligic

[@mochiboot6502]

Most of us didnt make elaborate breeding structures; we just U whistled.... I can still hear it....

[@aceca5147]

I was so sad when the flyer nerf came in. I remember having a PT with like 500% movement speed, it was absolutely amazing for getting around the map as you can imagine

[@BoogerDeluxe22]

There was no arrow when you pulled up the map. You just had to know the geography using landmarks and knowledge.

[@E.C.617]

I remember all of these so clearly except for the original island, I distinctly remember an ice area in the months leading up to the centers release but I hadn't played it after until 2 years ago and my head honestly broke with the swamp and red woods on the island.

[@thesapphiredrake9030]

I still color my ascendant gear with red! I can't possibly see it as any different. Man, the old ui brings me back. The game really has changed so much over the years.

[@shareehocking6294]

I remember when they added tech dinos. It still feels weird seeing tech parasaurs wondering around

[@dovahfeyn4303]

Dude, I remember when the spino got added lol. Been playing ark for so long, played a lot of pvp, seen the Metta change, seen Dino’s be busted, then nerfed, I’ve seen it all…

[@tophatcat6424]

I played about a few hours of Ark a little after it first came out, then never played it again, so seeing videos of how it is now is strange sometimes (though I didn't get to see much in those few hours anyway)

[@joeyvega8991]

You forgot the most significant change in Arks histroy... the billy goat Pachy noises 😪

[@vanpheonix1276]

I haven't played since Aberration, and so much of these I look and I'm like wow I really missed out on these updates.

[@KenseiAo]

For the old breeding, all I did was have them follow a stationary Dino with the closest range possible and enable wandering. It worked and no need to build a pen.

[@Propya]

8:05 “a few specks of skars in the sy” 😂

[@kbrelax1353]

The old combat music was the best. :') 120 is the max level in singleplayer for every story maps in Evolved. Even if you enable the max level thing in the settings (what should put every map to 150).

[@floridaairgunandoutdoors4341]

Op turtle soaking. Ascendant rocket launchers. Quetzal weight glitch with a ladder or ramp and anky. Nerfing the club’s effect against flak and most armor. Quetzal’s with turrets, plants and auto-turrets. Griffins changing ground pvp. Kishko god of foot pvp. No map markers.

[@jeremyjohnston6131]

I remember when rocket launchers used to have rarity to them and you could find or make better than prim ones

[@benjaminbartholdy6351]

You missed a good amount of things sadly, some of the memorable ones for me were dossiers which you partially included, however tameable creature dossiers could only be acquired through taming and every other creature dossier was by killing the creature. Then there’s ascendant not being obtainable without using commands, which was a big one and I remember telling some of my mates I was playing with about it and some of them being sceptical, then there’s another major one being mating getting added (which has been implemented over multiple updates as well) because the first update only included some terrestrial creatures, then they added the aquatic mating as well (making frogs and other amphibious creatures and also most of the aquatic creatures), third I believe was adding the invertebrates (excluding mantis’s which came later on) and then ofc last IIRC was creatures only obtainable by stealing eggs becoming mate able. There’s also the fur/feather update which changed the look of many creatures for the better (which was super weird to experience). Then there’s also one that was significant in terms of the use of sabers, being when they were nerfed a ton which happened a bit after the swamp and snow area were added (the saber I had fx had 10k hp pre nerf and after the nerf it had 4,5k). Eels were also insanely deadly when they were first added because if my memory is correct they had more of a lightning wyvern like breath which also had an aoe effect dismounting players leading to them being nerfed a ton as a result. Doedics being added was also a big one as you had no way to efficiently gather stone with creatures before then. There’s also tranq darts being added and then much, much later harpoons and shocking tranq darts. There’s definitely more that I don’t remember but there’s so much stuff that’s changed through the years.

[@Ouroboraa5119]

I remember always using the centre as my main map until they added an update that made it to where you couldn’t play on the centre until you ascended on the island

[@chaz_eptv1430]

[@justadragonwithinternetacc4505]

I am not an og, I'm not even going to pretend that I am. Now, I do remember some of this stuff, because I started playing somewhere between Aberration and Extinction, and I did watch some older videos before that, so I do remember some of this stuff, like the sky and the breeding system, though the phoenix and the volcano threw me for a loop.

It used to be that when you leveled movement speed, it increased movement speed by 2% instead of what it is now.

I miss the old UI when it was white text on blue background instead of blue text on slightly darker blue background because most of us with bad eyes can't see that very well

[@daltondalley9450]

One i dont see mentioned a lot is that turrets didnt target grenades. Stand on a quetz and rain cluster nades on bases

[@xSonicspeedx]

Only thing i remember was you couldn’t fly anywhere without crashing. You had to literally plan out your flight to avoid other player base areas. Also if you did crash in the sky your flyer would just stay there indefinitely until it starved so youd have to send a sky scouting party to find and i dont think there was a group whistle.

[@Butter1510]

I genuinely miss the old kibble system. Like it added so much to the game in PvP because you had to be strategic about it. Now the kibble system is so easy smh

[@YourLastWish]

You left out some interesting 1s. You use to be able to build foundations and walls inside other ones if you knew the trick to do it. Usefull in pvp. Next You could line quetzel up to a building and build almost anything on it if you did it perfectly. Next scorpions and titant boas would knock your ass out in 1 or 2 bites even with high fortitude. Next you use to be able to have a thylo climb a single wall and then fly across map. Next obvious 1, you could build in caves on pve and people would wall off the caves so people couldn't farm it. Next you could claim peoples stuff instead of auto decay. Next pteradons spin attack use to make them 1 the strongest units in game. Big change now. Old scorch 20 dragons 1 spot, u pull egg they won't stop chasing you. Next phoenix use to have like a mini volcano mound when it wasnt a heat wave. Theres many more things considered bug abusing that existed for realllllllyyy long time.

[@Zgames05]

Glad you mentioned all this. I thought I was miss remembering. I miss the 50-wyvern chase it was so much easier to get claws for the boss fight. We would trap them all and wipe them out with Gigas. lol Oh and the lag due to the massive kibble farms was the best. Always had the weird shaped creatures render until the skins loaded in. lol

[@YourLastWish]

Artifact caves used to look different too

[@brenon45]

Correction, during the Ark launch Beta for a few months the official wild dino levels only went to lvl 60, it was then doubled to 120 when around the time the first boss was added and was only the broodmother which had a name before it was defaulted to the broodmother, then later on when they updated the boss to have an arena the then raised the official wild levels to 150.
