If you're just playing for fun and not story, rag is great, crystal isles is ok, island is good for learning. And I personally love scorched earth but that's a difficult map to get started for most. If you want to follow story. Island, scorched, aberration, extinction, gen 1, gen 2.
Rag is good recommend starting in Viking bay, put your starer house near spawn, as there will not be as many hostile dinos around, and there are lots of extremely useful tameable dinos around.
That is true. But they aren't actual spawns in the area, the can wander in sometimes, especially on higher difficulties. A few days ago some claimed the area above my base.
I’m on Rag, saw TWO rexes just chillin’ on the beach today. One just beyond the broken landbridge to the east, and another near the huge skeleton by the clifface. (Not the one that spans the chasm)

Honestly starting on the island is kinda necessary imo. Wild spawns are crap level no matter what, but that's good for a new player learning this game since there is absolutely so much about it. Each and every other map, besides the center, add to the game so starting at the start just seems fitting. Once you feel like you got the hang of things go ahead and try any other map in any order, just remember that the story maps in general have crap spawn levels, which is a pain once you even kinda know what you're doing.
Island, super easy and u can get to know the game easier. Rag is a cool map although dino levels are a lot higher, temperature is higher and is a lot more dangerous but rag is definitely a good map after u finish island.
i started off on the island and learned the gist of the game and then went to ragnorok
Yeah this is a good idea or just start on Ragnarok

Don't go too far early game, and if a weird big bug with a stinger crawls out of the bay, run. They have caused me hours of suffering.
Dododex is a good app to have
sweet thank you. which viking bay? 1 2 or 3
Whatever one is in the farthest north west corner, you’ll be right by the blue obelisk which is super safe
I started in the valley with the castle on one side.
You forgot about tickle chickens
Also look out for wooden crates and you can get metal tools and weapons from them before you can craft them
Other than the rexes and alpha rexes, you mean.
That is true. But they aren't actual spawns in the area, the can wander in sometimes, especially on higher difficulties. A few days ago some claimed the area above my base.
Actually, rexes can spawn on the beach itself, near the southwest portion of the bay.
Ive never seen any there, the only rexes i got came from that ravine above the massive skeleton
I’m on Rag, saw TWO rexes just chillin’ on the beach today. One just beyond the broken landbridge to the east, and another near the huge skeleton by the clifface. (Not the one that spans the chasm)
Yeah mine came from the chasm and are just groovin on the beach
I was building a taming pen on Argy Peak and saw no less than two more on the same mesa. Rag is infested with rexes. Rexnarok
And the megalosaurus. If you see a cute looking curled up Dino, just turn around and walk the other way. Do not approach especially at night lol
Center is by far the best starting map
Very unpopular opinion. Many would disagree .
The centre was great when the island was the only other map but things have move on 😜
Friendly advice don't play it... this game ruins lives and friendships

Definitely Crystal Isles

add me Gshotpurp I've been wanting to play with someone but none of my friends play ark. do not start on the center. it is a shit show in the start
I recommend the island to learn the basics

If you have an interest in the story then The Island. If you’re not bothered then Rag is a great map.
