ARK: Evolution Guides - Scorched Earth

[@grahamcracker7029]

my idea for a scorched ending cutscene would be something like this:
After defeating the manticore, and exiting the arena, it cuts to you flying out of one of the spires in the center, preferably the one closest to 50/50, and as you are flying through space, just starting to be digitalized, you get hit by a meteor (because a meteor shower, like the ones on extinction, is happening), knocking you off course, sending you barreling through space, eventually straightening out and crashing straight into aberration.
this would explain why you woke up in a damaged, element infested ark, as it's likely the system wouldn't toss you into a destroyed ark.

[@LandoGame]

Omg that’s so true let’s just call that the closes thing we get to cannon

[@LandoGame]

But at the same time dose Rockwell count as an overseer now because that would probably trick the system

[@grahamcracker7029]

what? he's the aberration overseer, and what do you mean by "trick the system", because as far as I know, aberration wasn't nearly as destroyed when the other survivors were in it as it is now.

[@nihilistpenguin7511]

@HIsForHacks Aberration is fucked mostly because of Diana and the other survivors who knew how to create tek. Rockwell isn’t really the primary reason that Ab is in ruins, but he is part of the problem.

@Ryan Noureddine oh god oh fuck

[@Littleblueneon]

I think some of the hate for SE comes from the fact it was payed DLC for a game that was still in early access. I loved SE because at the time I was playing PvE and not much scared me on the island. I ran around with flak armor and a sword and could take on just about anything. The only real threat was lagging out and dying because of it. SE brought on a whole new level of difficulty and challenge and it was great at the time

[@soberedsoldier2578]

Scorched Earth is the reason why I haven't purchased any of Ark's DLC. I bought the game in early access, around late 2015 / early 2016. When I heard that my money had been used to make a DLC instead of finishing the game, I vowed to never buy any DLC. Half a decade later, I've still refused to buy anything. While I think some of the DLCs are cool, I'm more than content with the free non-story arks. Ragnarok's mini-desert gives me the Scorched Earth experience anyways, so I'm not missing out on much.

[@at0mic354]

@@soberedsoldier2578 Yes that's the problem with Scorched Earth the free maps have the creatures and biomes anyway.

I told myself I’d work through the maps in chronological order for my first time playing Ark.
that was 4 years ago...
I’m finally at the point of fighting the bosses on the island and I can’t wait to FINALLY jump into a new map.
What I’m trying to say is that I love your videos and they’re super helpful for a wimp like me (who’s too chicken to go into caves half the time) to get a taste of what each map can offer story and experience-wise.

[@SongbirdGaming]

Lol me and my sister are doing that. Started in April, private server. We’ve beat the alpha broodmother but still working on gearing up for the other caves needed for the other boss fights. Other people keep telling us to go to other maps, get wyverns or Gachas or other map engrams like chainsaws but so far we are standing firm.

I actually enjoyed the scorched earth map. Provided a challenge and had lots of ruins that i enjoy exploring. Also set up shop at one of the obilisks that had water under it. Though i had to put spiked walls along cliff edges to keep the 30 or so odd raptors from getting my tames.

[@gwenhwyfar4835]

Scorched is looked down on by the ARK community? I kinda loved how hard it was to survive and being a desert nomad with a train of Morrellatops, Scorched Earth is kinda my vibe.

[@grummdoesstuff2983]

Honestly, scorched is my favorite map. It presents an easier challenge than most other ones, but its a constant challenge because your fighting the map mechanics instead of the exiting highs and rather boring lows that the other maps provide. plus the Phoenix is my favorite creature in the game, so I may be a little biased.

[@sarahgarcia460]

In defense of the rock elementals, I don't see them as waiting in rock form to ambush their next prey as more of minding their own business, likely napping, and not taking to kindly to those disturbing them in their personal bubble.

[@oerlikon20mm29]

If im gonna be honest, besides Aberration (Because Aberration literally sets every single idea anyone had to shame), Scorched Earth is the most fun because of the difficult challenge no matter what level you are at.

[@panszpieg1961]

Yeah it would be nice when you had hot desert map and later you will have an cold snowy map

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

Scorched is so underrated. Only having desert biomes is great. Far better than having a desert part of the map. It limits your option and forces you to find new strategies. Early game scorched is ridiculous. The things it added to ark when it came out were amazing, now they’re seen as mainstream creatures and tools. I can still imagine how awesome the Wyverns were when they came out (they’re still awesome, but they’re a mainstream creature now). Rock Elementals we’re crazy and hunting death worms was an experience in and of itself (I love really tough, untameable creatures that aren’t necessarily alphas, like Death Worms and Reapers).
Scorched Earth and Aberration prove something: Sometimes, less is more. Fewer creatures, fewer biomes, different ways to approach the game. I love Scorched Earth and Aberration

[@robertpirtle7642]

Scorched Earth is high on my map list because for some reason I like the idea of desert survival, especially nomadic styles.

[@candypaint8887]

I dont care what people say
This is my favorite ark map

[@ducatiniels]

Yeah definitely challenging. I'm a bit stuck on the island map. After 7 caves solo. The last 3 need better tamed animals. So I went to scorched earth. To die, die, die and die. The lack of trees and many angry animals make this a difficult start. Take this slow and plan ahead. Even my level 150 saber was killed in seconds by 3 terror birds.

[@amexicangorilla2901]

Yeah, I personally head to the central dunes as soon as possible, they have these pillar things where you can just get a thatch foundation, some walls, some laddars, and a thatch roof and boom, creatures can't reach you. And also there's an abundance of water veins, and when you get to using electric stuff, windmills are able to be used. I think the spawn area is called south zone 3 or something.

Extinction is my all time fav

[@Sentient_Scarab_Swarm]

Scorched and the island are the only ones I have played and I intend to keep it that way. Aberration and extinction look quite hard and I can manage scorched more then most maps. For one of the hardest maps in the game, I have done better on Scorched then I have on the island. Besides that the aggressive atmosphere that Scorched has is one that I personally find to be appealing.

Yeah, it's hard to remember to include every detail in the evolution guides, given how broad they are.
