A lot of people forget the Center was being developed way before any DLC and if I remember right (I could be wrong on this) before even redwoods were introduced. So naturally they won't have the assets an endgame map would.
@Gorillazilla932 жыл бұрын
This is true, it was the first dlc map to be added, and it was developed as a mod before wildcard decided it was good enough to add to the main game for free. Its a criminally underrated map, with so much to explore. The only thing that lets it down is how outdated it is graphically, there's just something slightly buggy about it sometimes.

Honestly I get what you mean that the OSDs and Element Veins were a new take on ARK, but I think that Aberration was the biggest departure from standard ARK gameplay. No fliers with an emphasis on climbing, verticality, limited tame pool, really cool and varied exploration and areas, near infinite possibilities for base designs and locations with cliff platforms, difficulty (further accented by no Gigas), really unique mechanics like the nameless/charge system radiation zone, reaper pregnancies, and Rockwell’s boss mechanics really made it a unique ARK experience that Wildcard has never actually attempted to reinvent the wheel with all of the ARKs that came after that with an honorable mention to the free Tek suit in Genesis 2 and the Mission system shaking it up slightly. I respect people’s opinions, but I’m the type of person that loves innovation, challenge, and uniqueness over familiarity and nostalgia. My biggest hope for ARK 2 is that they can balance new interesting mechanics clearly defined exploration and difficulty curves like Aberrations.
@grummdoesstuff29833 жыл бұрын
I'll say it again, scorched is my favorite map. It's a constant challenge that forces you to do things you normally wouldn't on other maps. it gives great loot, looks amazing, and forces you to survive instead of just get stronger or better creatures. It is, in my opinion, the best singleplayer map in the game. But that's the problem. With vital resources of oil and water being limited so much more than on other maps, it makes them so much easier to block off or hoard for yourself, making multiplayer even more frustrating, as well as the adobe structures that you almost need to use to survive. But, if you're looking for a good, challenging singleplayer or pve map, or just don't want to have to deal with tek bases in pvp, at least give it a try.

After that I'd probably put Extinction, Lost Island & Gen 2 next and all about the same, Center and the Island I don't care for and I hate Ab, Gen1 & SE, lol. I don't know why Valguero doesn't get more love, it's beautiful and so different with the waterways in the middle.

I really like the Center, and while I do think it’s underrated, I can also see why it’s often considered low on some peoples list. It looks great, has good base locations, does well for PVP/PVE, and has high Dino levels. But at the same time it lacks it’s own unique creatures, has no desert region, and a giant ocean that seems really empty at times. I think it needs a little update for it to start getting some more love. It deserves its own creatures, so adding 3 like with the lost island would be perfect. It’s full of cliffs and water, so a flyer, water and amphibious creature would fit well. My ideal three would be haast eagle, deinocheirus or the livyatan/anomalocaris, but I could see a lot of other creatures fitting into the roster.

After over 2000hrs in the game and playing since the early access days, I still prefer the Island over any other maps. Maybe it's just nostalgia but that map feels the most balanced out of all. The animal placement, the biomes, the resource rarity, the difficulty etc... It's just ticks most of the boxes on the list that none other map could do for me. Generally I prefer maps that connects to the roots somewhat. I like dinosaurs and extinct animals fascinating me so I'm not really interested about the futuristic stuff. I love those DLC's too, but that's just not the first thing that comes to my mind when I play Ark. So that eliminates a large chunk of the maps from my roster. My second issue that almost every community maps lacking artifact caves. Without them, the maps feels like they are lacking challenge. Artifact hunts are one of my favourite things to do when I carve some adrenaline rush. Nothing is more chilling than enter a dark cave on foot and fight with hordes of monsters.

Valguero is a great map, but they didn't do it any favours. Having rock elemental variants should have helped set it aside as a great option for that alone so wildcard blocked their transfer and bricked them if they're uploaded. They give us wyverns, but not the people's favourite type. They removed griffins despite them being on another free map, logically that doesn't even make them any money so idk the logic. they have the aberation zone then dont include what people really want there. honestly that map with modded spawns is imo better than rag.

I find lost island to be kind i+of the best version of the island map. Its bigger, has more biomes, more creatures, newer graphics (trees, caves, buildings...). All of that gives the map more of an exploratory vibe and i just like the overall look of the map. I think that ragnarok is well placed as a second best map but the more jungley look of lost island probably pushes it infront of ragnarok + its newer. Also some areas on ragnarok just look seriously unfinished, like the area between redwoods and the mountain that leads to the dessert.

I am a Survivor from day one, clocking in at 5000 hour (just info, nothing meant by it). I think that is why I love the Center so much, as my number one added map. It was ofcourse the second map after the Island and it gave us something that the Island lacked, reason to use water creatures and rafts to move around the map, where on the island the water was only used to run around the Island and get to specific artifacts. We had a lot of gametime on the Center, not really caring for the boring SE or the flyerless, strange AB. Only when Extinction came out, Center and Ragna were the maps we played on. And with that I also want to profess my love for my unconditional number 1 map: Extinction. It dragged me into the lore of ARK as a sucker for lost civilisation stories. From the moment I spawned somewhere in Sanctuary, building my wooden shed between the empty hightech skyscrapers and streets of the city, I got caught by the throat and the map never let go anymore. I knew by then that every ARK flies in ARK's orbit, but the moment I understood it was earth I was walking on and saw for myself how the domes worked with the proto ARKs, it blew my mind. I finally bought a server setup that can run all six official maps in an as good as vanilla cluster and we just ascended to SE. But now when I walk on the Island, and look up the blue sunny sky, I know that it's just an illusion. And when I sail, swim or fly close to the border of the map, I know that behind that inpenetrable veil lies the cold darkness of space. I am so glad ARK is not just a dino survival game it started out to be like, as imo ARK has one of the best stories of all media of all times. Have you watched Neddy's survivor stories, @Raasclark?

Here’s my ranking of the Ark maps. (Based off my experience) 1. Fjordur: This is easily the best Ark map of all. It has all engrams, it has Norse inspired items and creatures. Best part is the beautiful base locations, the different realms like Asgard or Jotunheim, and Thor’s hammer Mjolnir. 2. Scorched Earth: I really love the desert challenge this map gives, as well as the base locations and battle soundtrack. 3. Crystal Isles: The most beautiful looking map, the crystal wyverns and diversity definitely made it special. 4. Genesis Part 2: The planet ship vibe was cool, and it had amazing features and missions. 5. Lost Island: Basically The Island but better, it has every engram, and has great base locations. 6. The Island: The OG nostalgia map, the Overseer tek cave was epic, and it feels good playing the map. 7. Extinction: Kinda decent looking map but the most epic final fight against King Titan made it great. 8. Genesis Part 1: Overall very beautiful map, but I don’t like the flyer restriction. I still enjoyed and liked it tho. 9. Ragnarok: Decent map but too overrated, it’s pretty bland and boring since it copies other DLCs instead of having unique stuff. 10. The Center: This could’ve been a good map but it released too soon and ended up being a big failure due to lacking DLC features. 11. Valguero: Still quite buggy but not as bad. What I hate is how every biome looks almost the same and seems very lacking. 12. Aberration: This sh*t is literally unplayable, crashes by just existing and never stops lagging. Worst map

It is one of the harder maps but it just makes you feel like even making your first thatch hut is equivalent to unlocking tech.

Crystal Isles is definetely the most RELAXING and say AESTHETICALLY pleasing map, but I do agree it's a lil "empty" at times. Lost Island is a bit more everything combined nicely and "realistically". Fjordur is just fun viking feel

Crystal Isles before it came to official was my favorite map. Hope they remake/rethink a few maps like Valguero and The Centre would reignite the love for them.

Gen 2 is always the busiest server. If this were based off current popularity of PVP servers numbers wise, the order would be this, 1. Gen 2 (INSANE drops, can literally just demolish and grind up so many items for easy resource too, easy travel with unlimited weight, OP, just the best) 2. Lost Island (High because it's the most recent map but I predict I will fall down the order soon, another classic map like rag, val, the island) 3. Crystal isles (Easy Wyverns for most people) 4. Ragnarok (Most peoples favourite all round map but usually around 4th highest popularity) 5. Valguero (Sits in the same category as Rag really, slightly less popular) 6. The Island (and again the same, but the Island feels barebones nowadays) 7. The Center (This map confuses people, but it really is beautiful and beaver dams were a huge game changer) 8. Scorched Earth (No-one really lives on here but comes on to farm the red drops, usually a ghost town, very hostile map) 9. Aberration (Despite being a brilliant map and game expansion, no-one is ever really on there mainly because it's just hard to do anything) 10. Gen 1 (Literally just a workmans server, people transfer over to complete a mission, and then head back to the map they live on after buying loads of hex)

Even though Fjordur has different realms and a lot of dlc creatures, Lost Island is more fun for me and still has a decent amount of creatures. Fjordur can seem sad sometimes due to it's color for some reason. I really love the like jungle theme in Lost Island and it just works so well. Only thing I like more about Fjordur is the Desmo which is the best tame in the game.

I LOVE crystal isles it brings me nostalgia because it was the first map i play on ps4 i was a mobile player at first and it looks really beautiful and ofc it's super easy having crystal around you everywhere not having to go to the red woods to tame a thyla (since they spawn walking in the desert so you don't need to be pounced) easy charcoal at the fire forest crystal wyverns a friendly type of wyverns that are amazing mounts they're really easy to tame and they function like a normal wyvern just a bit smaller and pick up less stuff like i recommend this map to new players since it's really easy

I think gen1 gets a bad wrap. Let me say this, gen1 official settings SUCKS. Bar none. Worst DLC, massive, and time wasting. Not having any way of flying besides the bloodstalker, having a rather small building area with all the mission zones. It can be really bad. But in full honestly, if you play gen1 with flyers enabled, tek suits on and allow in mission areas it is super fun. Gen1 is also just stunning to look at. As king of the bog I have to say that but even putting aside my insane bias for the bog, each biome has a very nice feel and color palette. I do fully agree the mission system in gen1 is pretty bad. You have to do so many. Gen2 greatly improved on the missions. All this to say, great video Rass! Much love!

I'm calling it now but I'm betting Fjordur will be everyone's favorite map and will most likely be mine, it seems to have all the things I loved about Ragnarok with the multiple caves filled with unique challenges and minibosses, it'll have alot of cool and unique creatures one of which was the one I personally voted for and I'm betting just like lost island it'll have a boss variation which I cant wait to see a massive bat boss in a castle (ideally) It also has 4 different worlds so when I beat one I can move onto another, it just has everything going for it in my opinion

I agree, for the most part. Once they fix the "issues" with Lost Island (meshing, creature spawn screw-ups, taming difficulties) I think it will replace Ragnarok as my favorite map. Fjordur has an opportunity to be better (teleporting to different realms allows a *lot* of flexibility, plus Aberration zones almost as good as Val), but it does lack the desert area of Rag and Lost Island and the southwestern landmass isn't terribly "unique" compared to the "big island."

In my opinion both valguero and crystal isles wouldve been boosted way higher of they would've kept the regular rock drakes and abberant Deinonychus on val and the eldritch creature and crystal drakes on crystal isles.

I havent played on many maps yet, I think 1/3 of them, but The Island really is a great map... the only thing that really bothers me constantly, is the incredibly low levels. Taming stuff is hardly any fun there, because 99% of the time, you're not finding max level wilds. If the levels were bumped to match gen2, I think it would still be my favorite map I have played on so far. But I'm going to all the maps I skipped before one by one and I'm curious about what I'll think at the end. I finally have an SSD that can store all the maps no problem, so I can finally build a base everywhere. Something I have wanted for ages.

Imo aberration is the best (haven’t played genesis 1 or 2) because the limited flyers paired with the highly vertical landscape forces you towards a rock drake, which is a relatively late game event and forces you through each layer of the game
