Primitive+ Not so much?

[SithAfrikaan]

Just testing the waters among whats left of the admin team, but is everyone actually still enjoying prim+? For me personally the non-flying provides all the challenge I'm enjoying at the moment, and the parts of prim+ that don't work or are buggy / glitchy just suck, not to mention the awful load times...

Like I say though, just hoping for some feedback, if everyone thinks its great then thats awesome. duvel was saying a while back that we've never committed to actually slaughtering a world boss legitametly etc, so there's still untapped stuff out there, not to mention the tek stuff constantly being thrown at the game..

Lets hear some thoughts

I find it all very 'meh'.

I would rather we organised community events like, as you say, fighting a boss.

The bugs and loading times annoy me but, currently, not enough for me to want to stop playing. If an Alpha spawned in my base I'd be thinking 'what's the point?'.

The problem with ARK (in all its flavours) is that there's no real end-game. Not even the bosses. I remember everyone gearing up for days for a boss fight in Minecraft. After we'd taken in down it was still a case of 'what do we do now?'.

A TS discussion on the way forward might be beneficial.

The end game is an issue. I'm already at the stage where I'm wondering what I should do now. on The Center we pretty much tamed every animal in the game and I cba to do that again. A decent bear, beaver and to a lesser extent a doedy are all the animals needed to conquer this game.

I don't see anything in Prim+ that has really grabbed me and the ban on flying is the one thing which has made it challenging imo.

The boss fight we can do at any time on TheCenter. It's ready to be activated again and we have all the components in place. I'm happy to get that one sorted.

On a wider issue we just don't have the player numbers to make it last. My visions of a community build with everyone taking a career path hasn't materialised due in no small part to the lack of substance in Prim+ to make it a key feature in the game.

The endgame is an issue with all the games we play of this ilk. From Elite to Wow to Empyrion to 7D2D. There is no final goal in any of them.

There is no final goal in any of them.

At least the dev's are giving us (as much as I hate to admit it), end game items and structures we can't build without killing the main bosses, but that's vanilla Ark not prim+, I'm in Chaos' boat, that it's ended up a little meh, since so many of the features feel hollow or buggy or non-existent. The non-flying is the best though I'd love to never go back to being airborn, even the vanilla island feels fantastically large traversing it by boat and dino and foot.

I'd like a Vanilla Ark with no flying and the difficulty ramped up to 11 (if we can increase it further)...

That's my feeling too Make us thank the Ark Gods for tek stuff when we get it, since we'd need it
