  • ARK: Fear Evolved 2!

    large.fear-evolved2.jpg

    The Dead have returned and for the next week the ARK is undergoing a spooky seasonal change where the air is cooler, the days shorter and the nights longer, and a Blood-Moon shines brightly as zombies, living skelesaurus, and terrifying creatures of the night appear above ground.

    Running from Friday October 28 through Sunday November 6 on Steam, Fear Evolved 2 will have ARK survivors witness the ARK transform into a dark, eerie landscape teeming with ghoulish graves, overgrown pumpkin patches, and Halloween festivities. Prepare for the ultimate Dino-Ween event, Fear Evolved 2!

    Survivors should take care when exploring the ARKs as the mythical DodoRex stomps across the land with an army of blood-thirsty zombie dodos in tow and is joined by its flying friends, the daunting DodoWyvern, its zealous ZombieWyvern horde, and a variety of re-animated Skelesaurs roam the world.

    For those brave enough to face their fears, there will be a number of new items to collect including the mythical DodoWyvern Mask, the haunting Vampiric eyes, the terrifying Clown mask, the beastly Werewolf mask, and of course don’t forget to be on the lookout for more spooky Skelesaurs in the form of; Giganotosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Jerboa, and Wyvern!

    Not to mention, some old festive goodies will be making a return in the form of thatch-rich scarecrows, custom Jack-o-Lantern carvings, Skelesaur Costumes, Candy-Corn loot drops, Witch Hats, Masks! You’ll also be granted the opportunity to tame endlessly-rejuvenating Zomdodos and ZombieWyverns!

    We’re also running a little Fear: Evolved contest! The first two survivors to post a video of them killing both the DodoRex and the DodoWyvern on Official PvP Servers will win a 100$ Steam Wallet Gift code! (they can be working with other Players/Tribe of course, but we'll only have one code to send to the player who actually posts the video). You can send us a tweet with the link to your video on @survivetheark. (Note: The Center servers are not eligible for this, as the DodoRex does not spawn naturally on The Center.)

    In regards to Xbox Patch 744 and some of the missing Halloween content, unfortunately we weren’t able to deliver on what we had intended to do for this holiday release. Both Jeremy and Jesse (the founders and captains of our team) had to unexpectedly take care of some work out of the country which affected the development and simultaneous release on both platforms, as well as the content we were hoping to provide. Fear Evolved 2 will not be making its debut on the Xbox Console, and on PC the special attributes/effects related to Werewolves and Vampires will not be a part of this holiday event. We are hoping to be able to release these special effects in a future event, as we understand a lot of players were looking forward to experiencing it. 

    However we did manage to make sure that all PC Content through Version 248 would make it through the update, including Explorer Notes, Mounted Weaponry on Dinos, three new creatures; Kaprosuchus, Chalicotherium and the Diplocaulus, as well as crash fixes and some performance optimisation to memory and rendering.

    We always try to include everything that mention in the patch notes and sometimes things occur outside of our control, in this case it was losing two star players - going forward we’ll be working hard to ensure that our Christmas Holiday patch will have a simultaneous release across all platforms, and include the content we intend for it - there’s a lot to look forward to and we’ll do our best to make it up to you guys!

    We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment caused by the lack of the Halloween event for our Xbox players, as well as the missing content on PC. We understand the frustrations but we do hope that you enjoy the rest of the Xbox v744 content and on PC the Fear Evolved Patch.

    Evolution Event Weekend!

    Plus, with the release of the two patches, we’ll be running another Evolution Event across both PC and Xbox;

    Through the weekend the Official ARK Network will be affected by an Evolution Event! Survivors playing this weekend will get to experience the following bonuses:

    2x Harvesting Rate
    2x Taming Rate
    2x EXP Rate

    So be sure to log in and enjoy the increased rates whilst you can! The change will take place on Friday the 28th of October at 12pm ET and will return back to normal on the Monday the 31st of October at 12pm ET.

    Steam Sale!

    For this spooky festive period, players are in for an additional treat, begining Friday the 28th of October at 1PM ET until Tuesday November the 1st at 1PM ET, ARK: Survival Evolved will be discounted on Steam by 50% and Scorched Earth will also receive a 33% discount! Get it whilst you can! ;)

    Wishing all you Survivors a Happy Halloween!

    Ok, so, I'm really bad at sarcasm and detecting it so was this guy serious about the 100+ dodo thing? I also would like to know If there are any graveyard spawns in and around footpaw area? 

    Also, heard that the DodoRex will ago if it sees your dinos but if they are hidden, then you will be fine?

    I have 4 of my (dont laugh) fighting dodos,  in my cliff side bedroom (they like the view over the lake) and an over spawning issue with dodos outside my gates, hopefully the millions of wild dodos patroling my perimeter will keep me safe lol

    wow.....just listen to yourselves....( most of you not all) . if you think game development is easy than instead of bitching like entitled children , go make a game..... back up your mouths. These people have been busting balls making a game for us and tryin to juggle the versions between pc and console to appease your ignorant ravings. Grow up and deal with delays as every console does or go knit. Seriously, you children are just that.....whining little children. I take whatever comes as do most of the people i game with, because, A- we have lives outside of gaming, and B- if you dont like it stop gaming altogether because you will only be disappointed for the rest of your gaming life. 

    This gen of kids is sickening, point the blame at everything but your own self entitled little selves. Suck it up and stop bitching kiddies.

    Lol your so cool. Tell me more about how your better than everyone. :)

    Does anyone know when the event is slated to end on Xbox?

    Is there a specific date & time?

    I've checked around the forums but couldn't find any info on this.

    Thanks!

    Please read the following post like Ben Stine, mono tone. So that nothing is taken out of context since you can not convey emotion well in text form with out knowing the person writing it on a personal level. To know how they speak. To do so , you will not read any of the following in the context it is meant.


    Odd , that you say this , They had no issues with pushing everything off the table from July 28th to Sept 1 For SE , And Oh what's this , A PAID DLC EXPANSION , And both Xbox and PC got it , and now , PC GETS a 33% OFF SALE !!!! HURRAH FOR PC !!!! Xbox , eat a cookie. If this was a PAID event , YOU Know WC would have had it launching with a live stream . Don't even bother defending it.  I asked in their extra life live stream about xbox getting a sale on it , and Jat just chuckled after reading my question , and he said " yeah I'm not answering that"  so yeah it must be self entitlement. Or did you live under a rock when Batman arkham knight released ?  The port was so bad , it was pulled. Factor in all the game breaks that this last patch did to people. and your go to is , " it's hard to port over " and if you think they have been going crazy , then clearly you don't read much. Their latest focus has been the PS4 port. Same as it was to crunch out SE for sept 1st.  xbox patches put on hold for over a month and a half. 
    And what of the patch ? It was not even tested before launching. I found more bugs in under 10 minutes of game play then the fixes they claim to have worked on. When bugs out number the fixes, Tell the players, look guys , if we put this patch out now, you will have more things broken then are fixed. 
    98.9% of players will say , " Keep working on it" . You will not find anyone who wants more things broken then already are.
    Here is another thought , since it is so clear that you think that ports other then pc are to hard for them , then they need to lock out the game for xbox, stop working on ps4, refund everyone on consoles the money they paid for them. And then just focus on pc , then once it is done , work on one port at a time till it is finished. Then release it as it finishes. That is if we use your theory. Also do me a favor , I want you to start ordering everything you buy through me, since you take what ever you are given with out ever saying anything is wrong. 
    Or is it only with games you never expect any form of results ?

    Reading these forums everyday makes me Rofl.  This is simple get over the fact that we have a unfinished game at least we have a game to play at all. Second not everything goes as planned, people do have a life outside of sitting in front of a TV all day getting fat and eating fried food.  Last but not least no reason for anyone to get a refund on the game for simple fact, when u got the game on console it told u that the game was unfinished and if u wasnt happy with the state of the game then u shouldn't buy it.. stop crying and wait for fixes and content .... for the record I have it on both pc n xbox so no need to say must be a pc player cause I play both. Can't wait for Xmas update. ÷)

    Stormy , The " alpha game disclaimer , is a cookie cutter disclaimer. From microsoft. Here's how you know, it is the exact same dislaimer on every xbox early access game. 
    No need for me to post it , just go to the xbox store, Here is steams , disclaimer .

    What is Early Access?

    Get immediate access to games that are being developed with the community's involvement. These are games that evolve as you play them, as you give feedback, and as the developers update and add content.

    We like to think of games and game development as services that grow and evolve with the involvement of customers and the community. There have been a number of prominent titles that have embraced this model of development recently and found a lot of value in the process. We like to support and encourage developers who want to ship early, involve customers, and build lasting relationships that help everyone make better games.

    All this " But read the disclaimer  " Needs to stop.. you are clinging onto it for dear life, 
    the go to responses,
    1. Your not a programmer it's hard
    2. You read the disclaimer why'd you buy it, ( as if ANYONE reads fine print in contracts around here )
    3. Just stop playing it ., go do something else.

    That sums up every response to every enraged player on these forums. 
     

    Here is a novel thought, Try providing a real answer or truly compassionate  help. 
    I know I likely just made 95% of your heads explode or implode ( depends on reader ) . Just step back , and for once try to see life with a persons eyes that are not yours.
    Am I defending the flaming player raging , no . I try to find a work around or problem solve , Which is in grave supply around here.

    My prior post can not be debunked. You tried, stormy. In the end , you don't have much to stand on. and Owning it own both does not entitle you to tell people that have spent as much money as you have and in many cases , more, ( buying a second xbox , just to host a server with). 

    Personally , I loved getting mowed down by super turkeys today ........ I loved not being able to get back to my gear before it despawned....
    it was a real ... Gooble ( hoot )
