  • Community Crunch 124: Eggcellent Adventure Returns & ARK Sale!

     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!

    Eggcellent Adventure Returns!

    large.Eggscellent.jpg.7c60ef0fa3a98f452b

    Beginning Thursday March 29th until April 10th, survivors will be able to experience the "Eggcellent Adventure" Event on all platforms!

    large.Bunnies.jpg.7cec150883261849cb2b0d

    During Eggcellent Adventure, survivors will be able to collect special "Bunny Eggs" across the ARK from wild Bunny Dodo's and Bunny Oviraptor's. These Bunny Eggs can paint or used in special Cooking Pot recipes to craft holiday-themed items such as Bunny Ears, a Bunny Costume for the Procoptodon, are two brand new cosmetics: the Knitted Chick Hat and Egg Shell Hat for both survivor and dino!

    • Wild creatures roaming the ARKs will also find themselves feeling eggcellent, sporting bright colours of Green, Magenta, Yellow, and Blue.
    • Wild Dodos are replaced by Bunny Dodos  - with ears, taming disabled, and drop 50% consumable dodo eggs and 50% Bunny eggs
    • Wild Oviraptors are replaced by Bunny Oviraptors - with ears, taming disabled, and drop 50% consumable Oviraptor eggs and 50% Bunny Eggs
    • Bunny Eggs can be placed on the ground and painted
    • Bunny Eggs will expire after approximately two weeks from inventories, and placed eggs will immediately decay once the event is turned off.
    • Run your private server with '-ActiveEvent=Easter' to turn on the event
    • Running the same server without -ActiveEvent=Easter will delete all placed egg structures
    • PC players can use Steam > ARK > Properties > General > Set Launch Options and paste in -ActiveEvent=Easter to experience the event in single player/non-dedicated/player dedicated worlds. You must enable the event yourself in these modes.
    • Event is not available in Primitive Plus, or single player console worlds, non-dedicated console servers, or player dedicated console servers. Console can however spawn and use the new cosmetics with the command below.

    Community Contests!

    NVidia Ansel Photography Contest

    large.Ansel.jpg.683f020687f3fe873c17912d

    Super Resolution Version: http://images.nvidia.com/ansel/SuperResolution/ARK-SuperResolution1/ARK__Survival_Evolved_HighRes_2016_09_01_-_14_38_36_55.html

    ARK: Survival Evolved and the Scorched Earth Expansion Pack now include support for NVIDIA Ansel -- a revolutionary new way to capture in-game shots.  Compose shots from any position, adjust with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats, and share the screenshots in 360 via a smartphone, PC or VR headset. 

    Learn more about these features from the NVIDIA blog.

    Now let’s get to the contest!

    There were 3 potential categories for survivors to enter their shots into and they were the following:

    Four Categories

    Freestyle: These can be images or videos taken using NVIDIA's new Freestyle filters! If videos are submitted, they must have a maximum duration of one minute. 

    Super Resolution: These should be taken at 8x Super Resolution. Players can optionally use Depth of Field effects accessible in Spectator mode by pressing the [Delete] key.

    Panoramic 360 Stereoscopic 3D: These should be taken at 4x Super Resolution, in 360 Stereoscopic 3D mode. We will crop them to 2D for web display, while also providing the 3D version for viewing within VR display.

    Freeform: Any settings, whacky and creative use of Ansel filters are encouraged. Adding humorous titles/captions in Photoshop is also acceptable for this category!

    And now without further ado, here are your entries!

    Like what the raptor ark devs. Players who run their own dedicated server have paied for the right to be able to get this easter even. You let us last year, but now this year we arnt good enough. This is bullpoop. I was gunna ark all day but now, whats the point. Give it to us with console commands and suck the raptoring fun out of the game. And take away the fun of the grind,  or the hunt for the easter colour mutations.

    yet we still had to download it, fun huh? Makes no sense the total lack of consistency... Vday worked... what's so special about easter aside from breaking 2 dinos to pull it off?

    I see a lot of people always asking this, but do you realise there are a lot of people with 100's and 100's of eggs just waiting for a breeding event. You realise what will happen when a breeding event comes right?

    It couldn't be worse than what my official server is experiencing. Though there was no breeding event I had a 3 day weekend for easter and I hatched a few brontos and due to the lag this event is already causing I disconnected and took so long to rejoin that the bronto starved. I traded a valuable blueprint for 3 fert bronto eggs and now I have neither. Without breeding events ark promotes living in your parents basement in order to get a couple dino's that can literally get killed at any given point by some guy who abuses under mapping.
