Scorched earth is my favorite. The lore, the dinos, the landscape... it’s all beautiful. I want Wildcard to make a polar opposite of SE. I want them to make a place focused entirely on the cold instead of the heat. With Ice Wyverns, perhaps Feathered Wyverns, and maybe some other thing. Cheers, Survivors!

[@jloren10]

welp we got rag now

[@ThatAceInSpace]

hey camel rag isn’t exactly the polar opposite. Sure it’s *cold as hell* but I want a map that’s fully arctic, not like rag.

[@diegobrando6737]

No, Scorched Earth is better than Ragnarok

[@kingdedede3814]

Well in Genesis if you live in the artic biome it’s pretty much the opposite

[@BroTaun]

I’m hoping for 2 maps now, an Arctic map or a map that includes every biome and Dino in the game, which would be the new biggest map.

[@mechacharizard101]

For those who don't know, they lost $40 mill in a lawsuit, which is why they pushed this out and charging $20, and to be honest, on my PC where I barely have any issues, it's worth every penny.

[@Intellect1618]

Can confirm, I was irked about this as well but heard about the do-not-compete lawsuit and saw the reason. Bought the game and loved it, especially how I can interchange my main server. The map is also FAR more challenging and enjoyable, I just don't care for it as a main map but I can set up a base there and bring stuff over to my main map (The Center) It's the best of both worlds.

[@BauliusTorvoltos]

So you're paying for content that they should have added to the game for free? Content that should have been added to and incomplete game? They are holding back content for an incomplete game that should be put in to bring it closer to completion. Fuck the $40 mill law suit. That's their own problem. It shouldn't be up to us to repay their fuck up. It's their responsibility to recuperate their fuck ups. Their law suit is their responsibility. Not ours.

Yea that about sums it up. because that 16 will be another 16 then another and another and thats not what we gave them money for. If i give you 5 bucks for bread and you come back from the store with candy im gonna be a bit pissed off especially if you look and me like "what? what did i do?" which is exactly what the devs are doing.

[@MrMEOLA]

Spent some time playing the full DLC today. Had a ton of fun with it! Honestly, the amount of content this game offers from its base edition alone is more than most AAA $60 titles. They already gave us Survival of the Fittest as a free add-on, as well as monthly and even fortnightly updates at times. Even if the game is still in Early Access, considering the amount of hours of entertainment this game has offered me, I don't have any issues with paying the extra $20 for this DLC.

[@peach2251]

They've included a few creatures from myths and folklore Is that really so bad? Just look at the bosses in base game Ark, they're pretty much ripped from myths, media or ideas, not actual creatures or animals Sure one of the main selling points of Ark was the survival aspect, enhanced by the dinosaurs But by throwing in a few mythological creatures, they're only expanding the directions they can take and go. Not like it ruins the game.

[@fishingbigfoot1188]

ARK doesn't have any real dinos -_-

[@zentheroth]

What you're getting for $20: An entirely new map. New gameplay mechanics. 10 new dinos. Ability to transfer those new dinos onto another map. Many new items. New boss. "ARK is early access" "ARK is an EA game that's bare bones" Yes, it's EA and it's bigger, more polished, and more expansive than most AAA titles costing 60 dollars. No, it's not. If you were around when this game first came out, and you stopped playing for 8 months like me, jumping back in now? It's an entirely new game. So much has changed. Over a dozen new mounts, new biomes, new bosses, new items, changes to existing dinos, massively improved FPS from optimization. You spent 30 bucks on this game, this massive game, this game that takes multiple days or even weeks to explore everything, gather everything, and tame/kill everything, and even then you're still not done. You spent less than a AAA game, and got something bigger than most AAA games, and you're bitching they're charging for a 20 dollar DLC that's at least as big as most AAA games.

[@mossthey]

"But my mommy can't afford it!!!!"

[@zMACnCHEESEz]

I agree with you completely and love the new dlc but you still can't deny the fact that paid dlc for a game still in alpha is very cheeky. Especially when the game director said that all dlc will be free too (in an interview before the alpha was released).

[@zentheroth]

+Northern Master I agree him going back on his word is quite cheeky, and improper, I will absolutely concede that. I find it hard to consider this game to be in an alpha stage seeing as they've gone far and beyond what they said they were going to do before full release. at this point, I see them keeping it in alpha almost exclusively to do bug fixes and that's all. I believe they said they were aiming for around 80, and they currently have 93, with another 29 left to be put into the game. I don't think they expected this much success with the game, and are simply expanding on it to their hearts content at this point. I can certaibly see where the complaints are coming from, I simply don't agree with them from my perspective.

[@wawustv4431]

You're totally right man, plus you don't even need the dlc anyway, its not gonna make you suddenly better than everyone else.

I honestly don't get the hate. This is completely 100% optional so why are yiy whining about extra content? Besides this is SO different from the core game, with tools, mechanics, monsters, area's and buildings that this is practically a new game. So only paying 20 for this is really justified. It's like how it's always been with expansions, in the good old days. I think some gamers really are so spoiled they don't even wanna spend anything more than 20 anymore.

So would you be OK if they removed The Center map and made it DLC? Because that's practically what they've done here.

I already paid for the game and they haven't given me anything close to a finished product. This is fucking fraud.

It's not "generic" dudes. Look at the amphibian fin-like structures along its body, the shape of the head, the wings, even the way they move. It resembles GOT way too much to just call it "generic".

I think you are misunderstanding, GoT did not come up with the dragon design they use, there are plenty of pieces of art and film that have the same design, these dragons have existed in that form for several decades.

Tribaluk I think you are misunderstanding. Since I have not lived under a cave for the past 1.5 thousand years, I am aware of the general design of a dragon. If you care to read my comment carefully before responding to it, you would see that I have pointed out very specific features not present in the majority of dragon designs.

And I just learned that you can't tame them. You have to find an egg and raise them from babies to adults. I mean come on, guys, no resemblance? xD Again, I am not complaining. I actually really like this idea.

[@TheLogicalCow]

They said there would be no paid content......

[@tylergodfrey3734]

They did say there was a chance of paid DLC, but it does kinda suck. Though, I bought it anyway.

[@Rayonical]

Creating a game isnt cheap...

[@tylergodfrey3734]

+Rayonical Exactly, especially one this detailed.

[@thatguyrolledinbacon3367]

I agree that they should have done this after the release of the game, but I'm still gonna play it cause I love ark.

[@YaroLord]

Now that they've shown their true colors, you can vote with your wallet.

Coming back now and saying. This is the hardest map i have ever played in my entire ark gameplays. I died like atleast 10 or 11 time to heat.

[@threespotgaming]

Ark scorched earth:exists Rex: *I think this map needs me* Abberation: *JP3 FLASHBACK*

[@needsomewater]

It was bound to happen, they need to prioritize in finishing the damn game, I love the game , but they said the game would be done by July 2016. Lol lets not even talk about optimization, easily top 10 worst performance according to everyone, with my rig I get 30-45 fps on high so it's playable. PLEASE DEVS FINISH THE GAME ASAP AND DONT WORRY ABOUT DLC

[@needsomewater]

This looks bad ass though, might give it a go

[@DragonArtProductions]

It didn't get released July cause they said they wanted to add more to the game than expected so they delayed it

[@hermeister3870]

+Justin Robinson yep, this was supposed to be the first post launched dlc, they were working on it 8 month ago. they delayed ark but decided to launched the dlc anyway.

[@disco9582]

they released this because of a law suit that took away a good chunk of the ark revenues so they need more money to continue

[@needsomewater]

+DayDay Watkins why type like that?

[@soldiergigas14]

[@kirkcooey1655]

[@vaguedirector_7342]

Yeah I did that the other day after not playing for nearly a year, over 90GB.

[@EpicMetalGears]

People sure do love complaining. Alpha or not, this game has more content and playability than most "full", $60 releases and you only payed $18 - $25 for it. Paying another 20 for a DLC that almost doubles that content isn't bad. Still about $45 for a game with more than most.

[@thexhunter5005]

Thank you fellow intelligent being

[@eza08]

that's besides the point. Instead of actually finishing the base game, they have been developing dlc. It's an early access game. It's disrespecting to players and you people defend these practices. Nobody would have had a problem if they first released a stable base game then maybe after a couple of months they release this.

[@EpicMetalGears]

+Eza08 I understand that. I think it's odd too. I'm mainly defending the game against people complaining about the price. I hope they give an explanation as to why they did this instead of progressing the base game.

[@aquamarinegaming7396]

I like how people are complaining even though they gave us TWO free dlc (center and primitive plus) It's worth it Love the new creatures

[@adrasteia7092]

Why so many negative comments??? Is this what people have become? Yes, i know ARK still needs to finish their original game which is currentely in Early access on steam and unfinished for Xbox BUT This game is Fricken awesome! OMFG Look at this game! Holy SHIIIIIITTTTT. I've been playing ARK ever since its release and i have to say, this is the best game I've ever played.... So stop being so negative! Enjoy the game, it is a great experience!

[@damon571]

personally.... i think titanomyrma looks cool PRAISE BE THE HIVE MIND!!!!!!!

[@jacobweatherford4696]

Damon Marcinko i am interested in them too and from what iv read the focus for them is battling the elements and making a strong colony that will thrive and have multiple ant hills

[@damon571]

Jacob Weatherford Ants have survived since far before the dinosaurs. Living evidence that there is strength in numbers. Ants are the epitome of "All for one, and one for all" its gonna be dank

[@jacobweatherford4696]

Damon Marcinko its too bad they didnt add wasps or bees to ark just butter flies or are they moths? either way ants are superior to wasps in numbers

[@damon571]

Jacob Weatherford true

[@yopaigemorris]

I love this! I ain't even mad that they haven't finished the game fr fr

[@TheBelrick]

If only ark MP played like this. It never does. Off line base raiding rules the game

[@Knuffeldraak]

Early access or not, this expansion pack was really brutal, and it's very easily seen that the devs actually enjoyed making this map given how much detail it contains.

Ark Scortched Earth: Your move Dondi XD

[@mitachellgames5271]

When your spear fighting with your friends oh no a dragon run

[@TheEightshot]

because EA doesnt screw us enough with day one dlc, ark decided to go further and do pre release dlc.

[@NicholasLionRider]

I hope they do a "modern jungle" survival expansion. With lions, elephants, gorillas, leopards, etc. Basically, make the far cry 3 to the already existing primal. I know it's kinda niche and dinosaurs and dragons are more popular, but I feel an african jungle survival based off the ark layout would be fun. Basically do the same as this expansion, take existing AI from things like mammoths, sabertooths, etc. but convert them into "modern" animals.

[@josephpiscitelli8053]

Please tell me that this is connected to the main games island and not a totally separate map

[@Andaesthetics]

It is a whole new map but you can use Gateways to travels back and forth from the main "The Islandmap" and this new desert map, taking your new items, and dinos with you.

[@genericasian5699]

Isn't this game still in early access? What the hell are their priorities? The AI needs work, frame drops, unless you have some kind of ludicrous rig, and there are still bugs for all of the vanilla maps... Fuck it! Even the Primitive + OFFICIAL mod could use some love! Is there no road map? No official list of things you guys want to add in ANY sort of specific order? More patches and fixes would be lovely thank you.

[@samuelmoyer5330]

they need money to make this game ever think about they made dlc so they get and finish the game with it

[@db91Ng48ag4omd]

Dear developers, first of all release FULL VERSION of the game, you game is in EARLY ACCESS and you just released PAID DLC? Are you all out of your minds? Please first of all release full version of the game, make the map BIGGER, atleast 5 - 10 time bigger than "The Island" is at the moment, I would suggest you making map with big islands and HUGE OCEANS and SEAS inbetween them so UNDERWATER CREATURES will NOT be useless like they are in current state. I want all the current biomes, including this desert to be part of single map which I explained above. No gamer wants to PAY for DLC's, look at Overwatch or CS:GO, you pay for the game and then you NEVER have to spend single € to get new DLC's.

[@ashtrooper2083]

I agree, although atm all ya need to do to make underwater dinos useful is to just play on a server that uses the mainly water maps

[@db91Ng48ag4omd]

I do not like playing on unofficial maps. At the moment most of the servers are running on map that was engineered year and half ago although they are adding biomes and few other things to it, I want them to work on bigger map (which i explained above) that will replace "The Island".

[@dargons5145]

Umm, no. Some DLCs are definitely worth it.

[@YaroLord]

Not if the base game is an unoptimized piece of shit.

[@ephemispriest8069]

Full version of the game includes content in this paid DLC. Clearly they want to lease the game to us after we bought it.

[@snowratak]

For everyone losing their shit 1. How the fuck is this pay to win? It's literally just a new map 2. However is saying we didn't pay so that the game could make dlcs, do you not know how capitalism works? 3. I think it's pretty cool, would wait till the price drops tho

[@YaroLord]

Your second point is moronic as hell. Not only they said there would be no extra paid content, you're justifying their blatant greed and lies by saying "uhh das how capitalism works uhhh"? Oh dear, no wonder this game is so successful; their fans are beyond stupid. Charging for a DLC isn't wrong. Charging for a DLC when the base game runs like shit IS wrong. And that's what's happening here.

[@commanderwolf6825]

Ikr everyone is saying "the game not finished" but this would be worth it since you don't have to pay for the game again when it's released

[@zkvickers2466]

+Juan Titor I like Ark, and I don't think you should be telling people like most others "stupid" but none of the less you lead a great point

[@xennoxatron6727]

+Juan Titor + I see items in this expansion that were promised months ago, but mysteriously vanished from the "upcoming content list". So basically they're trying to sell updates as DLC now

[@jackshiels3239]

They are entitles little children lol. They've never started a business in their lives, so the concept of investment and return is foreign.

[@sentientproductions7402]

I thought they released the dlc to get more money to make the core game better (more updates).

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

Thanks to how cool Scorched Earth looks, I have an idea for a future expansion if Wildcard ever decides to go this route again (which I hope, because despite what people say paid DLC with handcrafted maps of this kind of caliber are well worth the price tag.) Mists/Arboreal Islands: A series of smaller islands (between 2-3) that in total size make up the landmass of the vanilla island. They will be much cooler than the vanilla island, a slightly better ease into the idea of an Arctic-themed map than a straight on ice-age theme. The concept will focus on creating a landscape similar in theme to those found in the British Isles, essentially a landscape that is primarily wet, moorish, and cold in places, but also holds its own beauty with highland landscapes, beautiful cliffs, and various natural rock formations that are volcanic in nature. The new creature spawns will primarily be geared towards 'Irish/Scottish/British/Welsh Celtic' in mythology and appearance, including a couple of ice age animals found naturally in the British landscape. Due to this, a couple of spawns from Scorched Earth will likely make an appearance here, such as the Wyvern and the Rock Elemental, albeit likely with their own native variations. Example Critters: Alphyns, Hippogriffs, Aurochs, Barghests, Grindylows, Selkies, etc Example Boss(s): Unicorn (Scottish Mythology), Water Horse (Celtic Mythology) If any of the Wildcard devs are reading this, keep it up, you guys are doing great!

What ARK devs think the game is: A game with trading, open world, dino taming, and cities you and your friend build up too have fun. What ARK really is: A game were weeks of work die off in one night, griding like hell, people being assholes, and one big dictator tribe that don't give a shit about you till you become too powerful... You will thank me later.

[@DonMareTV]

Sound like you playing on the wrong Servers. Try a RP-PvP Server.

[@rawrxd4054]

This came out what 4 months ago? And people are still bitching that wildcard made a DLC before finishing the game. They need to get more money because they got fucked over by another company and had to pay millions of dollars. They added like 10 dinos, I don't even know how many new items, a new boss, I can't even tell you how much they added. This is basically another game for only $20! And why do you care that there's a DLC before the finished game. You don't have to buy it! The DLC is only $20 and the whole ark game (not including scorched earth of course) is only $40 and it's much bigger than most games that are around $60.

[@crispycornugget944]

Uncle Ray Ray ReactsVlogsV2 been saying this same chizz forever now. Peace man. ✌

[@blackwolf301]

You're right, I don't have to buy it, I just have to fight wyverns and griffins and other dinos I don't have access to.

[@K0rci]

I got bored playing ARK singleplayer. Because it feels like the TO-DO thing is , tame a dino and win the game (I dont like the multiplayer aspect, too much raiding etc.). Do people already have experience with this? Is it "boring" to play Singleplayer? Is there anything else to TAMING A DINO? ive heard that its quite challenging? Is it? I am really wondering if I can enjoy the game trying to SURVIVE instead of WAITING FOR MY DINO TO TAME and rule the game. Yeah its fun having a dino, but I still want the survival aspect.

[@darksev.6468]

You should play on PVE multiplayer servers. No raiding there. Mods are good as well.

[@K0rci]

Dark Sev. I dont really care about the multiplayer aspect. Im looking for a singleplayer game. And I know people are very different, Im just trying to get your opinion HOW THIS GAME rates if played on singleplayer? Is it better than the normal Ark? Harder? Challenging? The reviews on steam just say "Great" and the other site just says: Fking money whores :D

[@ClayDabbler]

+BeAMan you can't really do it on your own it's super hard but on PVE people will probably help when you ask, there's only PVE or PVP you could go solo but you have to dedicate a lot of time

[@K0rci]

Beni B0y there are no settings for solo players? I dont see the "a lot of time", it may be hard

[@friendlyneighborhoodpeasan1923]

The new DLC is very difficult, and introduces many new weather aspects such as sandstorms and heatwaves, plus environmental effects like heatstroke. They really went all out with the difficulty with this one and you'll find that it completely changes the game, atleast for me.

[@hexrants7903]

If you like the way it looks get it it's worth the money and it's. Amazing

[@GamingTurkey]

Only if it ran this smooth

[@TrancoTechnizer]

problem with this is, that the main game has more dinosaurs. How does the back and forth travelling work, from the main island and back to the desert ? through a portal ? and that means you can build all the new buildings on the island too if you have the dlc right ? cuz if not thats not that awesome anymore Then maybe you could also make the portal work with mod maps and The Center map dlc ? So you can have your base on the Island, then pack up your stuff and move to The Center while traveling through the desert. All this with the same character and dino ? this is a good idea methinks, it would make more sense to have so many different map mods and dlcs. Cuz what most people are doing is choosing a good server with a good map (center, island) then stick with that for 1000s of hours and ignore everything else, so whats the point of these alt maps and dlcs if not merging them into the main game ????? nuthin, no point, same game, same mechanincs, only the coat of paint is different. Id prefer a new engine, a new body and a new interior too if you will keep releasing these alternate games thank you very much

[@damon571]

Merging them would be really cool...

[@anenzyme1968]

This is a horrendous idea

[@TrancoTechnizer]

maybe its not the brightest idea I ever had, but then what could be better? adding a desert biome to the Island map ? its already packed full of stuff, maybe if they would add a second continent, but somehow the desert should be merged with the main maps, if not, its like playing different games

[@wawustv4431]

it is merged, and you can transport dinos and goods between a portal, your ment to start on the original ark, then go to scorched earth (which is harder)

[@TrancoTechnizer]

Lynx Gaming oh, so you can go from the original island ? that is cool actually. I was wondering why it is so hard to start off playing from the beginning on the Scorched map,,,then i got annoyed, i found Mad Max at a 75 % discount, bought that, i didnt touch ARK for a week or more, but its great that you told me this info, thanks!

[@emuatemycheese7462]

Very excellent DLC Wildcard! Ive logged a good 20+ hours into it already on this map alone, not to mention the 500+ hours in the base game. Nevermind the venom being spewed by ignorant and immature people who only think of their overly privileged selves and the fact that the game isnt finished the second they want it to be. The TRUE fans of ARK will support the game through its bugs and hiccups all the way until official release and then after. These things take time and money, and even with the lawsuit you guys still manage to pump out steady content that actually has value to it, and you only charge us a fraction of the cost of a typical AAA title, with content that dwarfs theirs as well. Despite the tantrums in the comments and reviews, you guys need to keep making the game fantastic, replayable, immersive, and beautiful like you always have. Great work on the DLC from someone who actually sees logic beyond their own impatience and lack of understanding!

Meanwhile your new stuff is again delayed. Oh hell no im'n not buying this expansion soon. The game itself has enough contend, so your priorities should be bugfixing and optimization

[@botchedoperations3485]

This map would be so perfect if: 1: give it a end game cutscene 2: a cave update or a new cave that has a underground lake(doesn't need to have water dinos spawning in. With the rocks around the lake that are infected with element. Why?: It is easier in all DLCs to get element than other maps(with the exemption of the new map crystal isles) plus I want a lake to place water creatures(not a whole bunch but a few(3-4)) to breed. All dlcs have a issue, but genesis kinda is the exemption Aberration: No flyers, but water creatures Scorched; No water creatures Extinction: no lakes to keep water creatures Genesis: water biome😎, flyers allowed(unofficial) All DLCs have a cutscene after ascension

[@tortoisewarrior4855]

I feel like Ark scorched earth is now the worst in terms of dinos. Not even the Phoenix anymore is exclusive to scorched earth due to genesis

[@botchedoperations3485]

@@tortoisewarrior4855 well duh.... thats obvious. The phoenix looks so painful to tame. Find it on a heatWave and then make a trap to tame it. Pass. Yeah it also is consider a low difficulty map. So even though the wyvern trench is big than ragnarok, its more difficult to get high lv eggs and dinos. My points are to give the game a decent edge over free dlcs. A cutscene for it being a paided dlc and a gigantic water element cave(good for water tames and farming element). This just like aberration is a bad map in my opinion for people that want to experience all aspects of the game. SE= no water dinos or oceans to explore Ab= no flyers, you miss out on snow owls, argents,etc

I for one gladly threw my money on the base game and the DLC and played the crap out of both and I'm still enjoying the game.

[@shestolemybapes]

+AnimoUndead People are mad cause they aren't working on the base game. Even though they've optimized it so much on Xbox and PC. I think the dlc is totally worth 20$.

[@dustyM]

Raffa But it's not like the devs just completely abandoned the ship and ran off with our money *coughStompingLandcough*. We're actually having another update on the base game in a few days and the last big update was just a few weeks ago and there's constantly smaller updates/fixes being pushed out. I also think the DLC is totally worth it, I've bought some AAA titles that have cost way more than Ark and the DLC combined but weren't even remotely worth the money.
