ARK's New Trait System is Game Changing

ARK Aberration Survival Ascended's New Trait System is Game Changing

🖥️ MY PC Setup 🖥️

I like to PvP, and PvE on ARK Ascended. Usually beating maps under an ARK challenge. Unlocking the ending cinematics is easy with no cheats needed anymore, and usually on a server, official or unofficial, I'm not fussed. Single Player is great though, certainly with a guide for any platform be it xbox, ps4, ps5, pc, it's great. Sometimes play some wild mods, and usually post patch/update. But a survival game needs some community news and that's what I do, giving you the latest on events, maps, maybe even premium mods and official usually covering all maps from Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration to Extinction, Gen 1 & Genesis Part 2. And one day. ARK 2!

This is way too powerful to be placed behind a pay wall. This should be added to the base game for everyone.

I hope they fix the PS5 performance issue with the grass and bushes disappearing and lag I've played the game for months before this update and can't at all without it bugging out and I've done everything possible restarting and reinstalling, it sucks disappointing

Gigas n carch gonna be invincible 10k+ per bite and healing 10% of that supply drops gonna be a walk in the park

Good news for anyone on unofficial and singleplayer that doesn't own bobs tall tales:
On the modding discord there has been a statement from WC, giving modders clearance to implement their own gene scanner and storage, without players needing the DLC to use the mod
(this is currently the only feature excempt from the usual ownership rules, considering how gamechanging it is and modders still can't use the DLCs models)
So you might soon see mods out there that allow you access to the gene system without need to buy the DLC!

That being said, i also got some additional info from inside the dev kit regarding gene traits:
- Chances for dinos to spawn with tier 1 appear to be roughly 75%, 22% for tier 2 and 3% for tier 3.
- While the in-game tooltip for mutable mentions the additional mutation chance, it doesn't say how much it raises the chance for the specific stat to be picked as the mutation.
Unless i'm mistaken base chance should be 16% (1/6th), with traits raising it to:
25% (T1), 29% (T2) and 33% (T3)

these are INSANE, it makes the game somuch more strategic and enjoyable. no longer are we just milking stats, we can make different builds for dinos.
you can get up to 90% weight reduction with 3 tier 3 weight bearing traits!!!

kingslayer and giantsslayer DO stack by the way, up to 3 each

[GamersDogma]

This made things easier to understand. Thanks.

[Starsgaming]

it's back again! I was watching earlier and I could tell that in the first 5mins of the vid that you did a lot of work to get this! This is a whole new game lol

[SEAASER]

The tragedy of this DLC is that stuff like this is SO cool and a much needed breath of fresh air for the game, just to be locked behind a paywall.

[RobboNickler]

Props to you man figuring this all out for the community

[Calismax-whostolemyname]

2:10 it has taken WAY longer than a year to fix. this became an issue when incubators where introduced in gen2.

[CamSpaghett]

Tbh while it does seem strong, when you’re mass breeding you won’t bother to do this on majority of tames. I feel like this will moreso be used on specific tames you actually like and want to put the time into

[BiscuitsCBB]

Cant wait to see your new ab series Raas

[sylvanas]

this opens up a world of possibilities there is so much you can do through this. turn more creatures into boss creature make fast travel mounts able to carry more resources from distant places etc etc i love the change though it shud be free for all

[ahmadafiqmohamadsamsurinor]

Looks like Ark has gotten even more crazier and breeding for OP dinos has just gotten way easier and more extreme I guess

[shieldhero]

I love this idea if feels like it was Design by Rockwell

[lordtrytin]

I saw traits while I was building my manticore army and I just didn’t care lol 😆

[Edsel]

Raas did u notice the issue with the drakes gliding feature. I think its the same one that was around when ab launched on ase! Its crazy they added 3 levels of each trait!! Great video brov

[SilberlosUncut]

Another Update, another Pay-to-Win thing, can't say I'm suprised :D In fact, I wonder why I'm even still dissapointed

[Death_Networks]

Hopefully they'll add trait breeding or someone will make a mod to do it
