  • Community Crunch 116: Dino TLC, Upcoming Patch Notes, Steam Humble Sale & More

     Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! :Jerbhi:

    The Community Crunch is where we share important things going on with ARK, as well as host contests and showcase creations made by the community!

    Dino TLC Phase 2 Preview!

    In our previous Dino TLC updates, we showed you our progress on Phase 1 of the Dino DLC pass, which includes the: Direbear, Procoptodon, Gigantopithecus, Direwolf, and Tyrannosaurus Rex. We are targeting the release of Phase 1 to take place during the week of February the 18th on PC. The plan is for the Dino TLC pass is to roll out these changes in multiple phases. Throughout the next few months, some creatures will receive visual changes, as well as functional/gameplay changes.

    Today, we'd like to share some screenshots and provide some insight into what we're planning for Phase 2 of the TLC pass. We've been reading all your feedback and suggestions regarding the creatures; our artists and gameplay team have found it to be beneficial in the decision-making process. Something to keep in mind is that not all creatures will receive a visual update, but we will cover ones we feel (with your feedback) need it. Sometimes there may be function gameplay changes which weaken certain aspects of creatures; however, if we take anything away, we always plan to add to it through another dimension.

    Please remember that these are still works-in-progress and are therefore subject to change before final release, which includes both visual redesigns, as well as gameplay changes. 

    The Argentavis!

    large.Argentavis.jpg.efd7f315f11a0b5397c

    The Argentavis has long since been a favourite flyer to many. With its high health, weight, and stamina it's an essential air mount that now will be getting a bit more love. The Dino TLC will grant the Argent a new saddle that will receive reduced weight capabilities on obsidian and various other materials, and the ability to craft smithy items within the saddle. 

    The Argent will now be able to carry two additional passengers, one with its claws and one in its beak. The Argent will be carrying heavier than current creatures in its talons, while its beak will be able to support the weight of smaller creatures.

    Lastly, upon consuming a corpse the Argent will receive rapid health regeneration, making this vulture a formidable aerial tank!

    The Spinosaur!

    large.Spino.jpg.5a2ace04fde09df0928a58ae

    The quadruped stance of the Spinosaur has been a hotly debated since it first joined and ever since. Those for the stance enjoyed its dog-like run while those against felt like it was not true to the real-world version of the dino. With the TLC pass, the Spinosaur will now be able to operate in both a bipedal and a quadruped stance. When on two legs the Spino will move slower but be able to bite and use its claws to do increased damage, while on four legs it will be able to move faster.

    Due to its affinity to water, the Spino will receive a buff which applies a bonus to movement speed, turning radius, attack damage, and health regen when fighting in water, and will last for some time after exiting the water. It will also prefer prime fish for taming (over prime meat) and have an increased chance of gathering prime fish meat.

    But before we can do all of that in Phase 2, we have to get through this upcoming patch first! 

    TLC Phase 1/v277 Tentative Patch Notes: PC ETA Week of February 18th!

    Please keep in mind that these notes are tentative, some parts of it may change before release (such as the values for creature-balance), as well as more general fixes included for Patch Day.

    I said I have given feedback, and quoted what feedback was given. There is literally no way to take that out of context, I think you should go check that up in the dictionary. If you can’t understand where half my words are coming from then clearly you are skimming. And just so you are aware a mug is a face, and molting is what happens when I bird loses its feathers. Hence a vultures face looks like it’s loosing feathers.

    But perhaps you should go re-read with a dictionary instead of trying to dispute my opinion. 

    You quoted your "feedback" in a way that was actually appropriate and provided some good personal suggestions that I actually wouldn't had argued against had you actually delivered them in that way. However your delivery's often consisted of insults and simply saying the new model is trash, ugly, and non-threatening. Which are all incredibly opinionated and provided little to no actual feedback that would be beneficial to read. Mug is actually an informal noun that does mean face but is often used in a derogatory way or used in the context of an insult, "Ugly mug" is a super common phrase that is certainly not simply reminiscent of just 'face'.

    *Moulting is what happens when a bird loses its feathers, obviously. Yet you used that word in a way to imply the model is ugly, because obviously it is not supposed to look like the Argentavis is moulting, since why would it moult constantly? It doesn't even look like it is moulting, which is another point to be made. Those things attached to its body are called feathers. 

    EDIT: Btw, I don't really like the idea of flooding this entire comment section with this argument, so unless you say something unbelievably incorrect, I'm just gonna make this my last comment.

    Anyone else think that there should be a roar/taunt for each dinos? And make some use to it?? I think its very annoying that im walking around with my spino and a smaller dino gets in the way in that perfect moment???? I think it would be cool that when you have a large high lvl dino that all the smaller dinos would sort of be watching their backs and staring at you as you just walk by, preparing for an attack instead of just mindlessly wander around getting IN THE WAY specifically xD. I also think when you roar, it should give other dinos terror, and challange the bigger dinos, make them roar as well. I think the AI dinos just wander around to mindlesly, and it be cool to see them react to other dinos maybe have some dinos from diffrent speicies hurd up and you can see various herbivor dinos grouped up, see wild dinos take caution from their surroundings. Also all dinos should be able to roar and run at the sametime :3

    EDIT: Btw, I don't really like the idea of flooding this entire comment section with this argument, so unless you say something unbelievably incorrect, I'm just gonna make this my last comment.

    And just so you are aware a mug is a face, and molting is what happens when I bird loses its feathers. Hence a vultures face looks like it’s loosing feathers.

    Argent and spino model look good, as do the rest. I feel like the rex's roar causing dinos to poop is a dumb idea though if I'm honest, seems very gimmicky.              Happy to hear that it will be able to manoveur around terrain easier.                                                                                                                                                                              I understand the rex is used in boss battles but it needs some kind of ability or dmg buff to make it more of a threat in pvp, it's a t rex for crying out loud why does a dire bear have higher base dmg, I should feel equivalent fear seeing a rex, spino or giga ingame as they were all apex predators.                                                          Wolves are getting some sweet features that I'm excited for as well as the gigantopithicus.  Please make it so my wyvern can actually defend me if left on neutral, AI for wyverns is terrible as is the landing mechanics. 
     
    You are telling me that a Rex, which is, what, a third the size of a giga, should be as terrifying as a giga? You are telling me that Rexes should be as scary as one of the God beasts that aren't even allowed in boss fights?

    Be happy that a dino that didn't really need a TLC pass got one. They we're already heavily utilized in PVE and PVP, in fact, they are one of the most common tames (and for that reason I personally try to avoid them completely). The fact that they will literally SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ENEMIES isn't epic to you? One high level Rex will be able to be used to temporarily (I get it, it's only like a half sec stun) CC and ENTIRE raiding team. Roar and every enemy dino is forced to stand still and crap. Snipe dudes off. Bombard with shotguns and rockets. GG!

    I think the rex, spino and giga should be on par with each other, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The spino was the biggest out of all three, rex had the most bite force and the giga most likely had the most stamina as they hunted large sauropods for days at a time. 

    I know the game isn't based on realism, just annoys me is all lol. 

    Not every creature will stop and poop, will have no effect on 'creatures higher level than itself.'

    If your going to fix the sarco do it like this: 

    Draw Dinovember 2016 Day 23 Sarcosuchus

    (Especially with the tail spikes) that way the massive crocodile doesn't look so derppy, and also re-animate it looks dumb(sorry).

    I would ask the same for the kapro, only add tail spikes.

    just to chip in here 

    "And just so you are aware a mug is a face, and molting is what happens when I bird loses its feathers. Hence a vultures face looks like it’s loosing feathers."

    but the vultures face doesnt look like its losing feathers, like at all, because it wouldn't be, since birds only moult about once a year, so how does the vulture look like its losing feathers? It isnt losing feathers because they wouldnt model an animal in the moulting stage just like how they wouldnt model the basilisk removing a layer of skin, it just has feathers, like all birds, and that is that. how u not getting this bro?

    The "experts" have changed their minds on how the Spino really looked more often than most people change socks.  I wouldn't get too used to thinking of that one as accurate, the odds are good it will change again.

    I like the direction they're going with the spino, it is my favorite dino. But it needs to be more upright. And fix it's roar plz. And give it a tek saddle.

    That's how vultures look, with featherless heads so that they stay somewhat clean.

    How about giving the Wolf the ability to trac, grab and down smaller animals and Humans when given the order by its master.

    Will we be getting a water map and the ability to really get pirate ship and naval building? Maybe get floating foundations like primal?

    I know this is not accurate, but maybe this shape or just extending the sail to the tail. The rounded one looks meh

    Hi,
    My son Rickypedia04 and his friends posted this:

    https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/295733-community-crunch-114-dino-tlc-console-ragnarok-sales-nvidia-freestyle/&page=5&tab=comments#comment-1744714

    and now they are asking for some modifications or new features:

    • Give to Sarcosucus better movements and animation when swimming (like Kaprosuchus) and running (Sarco is a little ridiculous).

    • For Raptor: MORE plumage

    • Give to Thylacoleo the ability to climb shifting on the right or on the left side (keys a & d?)

    • Female of Mammuth must have little tusks, both male and female could grab little animals with their trunk

    • Give to Carbonemys a variant of his saddle provided with a “slot” where you can install an auto turret or a primitive cannon. Needs ability to hide into his carapace

    • Spynosaurus needs a tek saddle

    • Para could alarm with their call when there are enemies/wild animals in the surroundings

    Thanks. Bye!!
