  • Community Crunch 129: New Servers, Upcoming Stream, & Wildcard Workshop!

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

    Upcoming New Servers!

    large.5acbd44f7cce6_BlueDragon-BulbdogsP

    Speciality Servers:

    Speciality servers are alternate game modes for ARK that last for a short period of time. Each new theme will bring on a new set of challenges different from that of servers currently available. However, these seasonal servers will wipe and change theme after a determined period of time.

    We're looking for input from you today. We've set up a thread and we'd appreciate if you could drop your suggestions into the separate thread below. Changes will revolve around edits that can be made to the existing config. These types of changes can include many things like: tribe/alliance size, anything related to dino stats and taming, server rates, etc.

    If you have a game mode that you think would be fun to play be sure to leave your comment in the thread:

    Fresh Servers:

    Tomorrow May 1st at approximately 10 am PST we will be launching a new set of servers on PC. These Fresh servers have downloads disabled but uploads enabled for a period of 60 days. After 60 days transfers will open and they will no longer be called Fresh servers. Players are invited to play and build up on these servers without the threat of existing alpha tribes.

    Community Livestreams!

    survivetheark-live-stream.jpg

    Beginning on May 10th and continuing every other week on Thursdays, the community team will be doing biweekly livestreams! 

    During these livestreams we will have Zen Rowe, Chris, and Jen bringing ARK news, celebrating modding, and the community as a whole every other week. We'll be playing ARK, showing off mods, and showing off your community creations for all to see. Survivors are invited to join us in the chat (and sometimes even in-game) to play and talk with the community team and other developers.

    At this time we're going to begin gathering up your community creations to be displayed on stream. We are accepting any type of ARK related fanart. This can be drawings, videos, builds, ANSEL screenshots, handmade crafts, anything ARK related!

    We will no longer be running Community Crunch contests here on the forums. The Community Crunch will transition into being our weekly news post, while the biweekly streams will become our new Community celebration initiative. We will instead be running contests on the livestreams, with a chance to win something special if your submission is the best of the bunch.

    You can submit your ARKwork to our streaming email address: arkfans@studiowildcard.com

    Be sure to follow us on our Twitch page so you don't miss a stream! twitch.tv/survivetheark

    Wildcard Workshop & Mod Tutorial Contest Update!

    Good day to you all! Zen Rowe here. I have a new Wildcard Workshop video for you today; we revisit replication with some practical examples. Make sure to check out the download link in the post for the project files.

    The 5th Mod Tutorial Contest is now open! This time we're going to do a freestyle contest, meaning it's the perfect opportunity to put together a tutorial for any of those concepts that you kept telling yourself you would.

    Today is also the last day for submissions for the 4th Mod Tutorial Contest, so make sure that you don't forget to submit those before the end of the day.

    ARK: Evolution Event!

    That's it for this post guys! As always if you’ve got anything to share please get in touch and be sure to follow us on:

    Hello everyone!

    So, I'd like to start out really quick just saying how cool this is being here.  A YouTuber on ARK can now finally see proper news without clickbait.

    Now, time to get into the nitty-gritty.

    I believe Wildcard owes us what we deserve as customers and consumers.  That means the "special something" they promised us a looooong time ago for Beta Players, "Structures +" becoming an official conversion mod (which by the way I am super excited for), and the highest priority: ARK: Extinction.  We have been shown the end scene of Aberration again and again and again by YouTubers finishing the boss fight and ascending, but we've heard nothing else besides "we're working on it."  What exactly are you working on that is extending you a month past your deadline, maybe longer?  We as the consumers and customers deserve to know because it's just how Marketing works.  This ignorance of the consumer and customer causes unrest and even uncertainty of the product in question, reducing profits and decreasing revenues.  Eventually this Early-Access behavior will get old to us, and eventually, ARK's fame will, unfortunately, perish because of it.

    Hopefully, if Wildcard is reading this, they can consider it in their calculations.

    ~The VenomXenomorph

    A month past their deadline? They had no deadline. The closest you could get to a deadline was when Steam said Spring 2018, but it hasn't said Spring since December, so people need to accept that Spring is likely off the table. And if you are basing the deadline on that, then how are we a month past that deadline?

    It's all downloads; so characters, items, and dinos won't be able to be downloaded onto the server for the first 60 days.

    We talked about it beforehand, yet somehow people were still able to download their levelled characters into the new servers. I believe you can guess how frustrating that is right? 

    We're about 12-15 hours into the new servers, people already have unfair advantages which is against the rules. How about you wipe all of the new servers without any announcement (since people coudn't bring stuff in and if they did they were not supposed to) and delay the release a day or 2?

    Speciality server: Waterworld

    Only water related dinos, small unridable dinos and insects allowed. That would make Pelagornis the only ridable flying dino.

    Water world server would be awesome, but i would just prefer a waterworld map with underwater caves,lairs,Obelisk etc. Maybe a huge water map with small island here and there. And Engrams to build floating platforms on it too like from Primitive plus. In fact i think the floating structures engram shoukd be incorporated into the regular game.

    Hello Wildcard, I have a question for you if you have the time to read this. I'm a PS4 user, along with my best friend. We love Ark and play it every day we can. We tame Mosasaurus's, Giga's, Spinosaur's, Rex's and everything we can possibly render unconscious.  But recently we have been wondering if the Fear evolved event will come to the Ps4 or not. Along with all the other events that occur within the year with the Dodorex and Dodowyvern. Because I would love to see the Dodorex and the Dodowyvern, along with the other special occurrences on the Ark to be on the PS4. Due to my deep love of Dragons and Wyverns, and my friends deep bond with the mighty Rex's of Ark, I would love to see my friend ride the Mythical Dodorex while I soar high above the Ark with the Elusive Dodowyvern. But, if you are unable to perform this action, then I understand. it's hard to be a developer with the people around the world these days. But I know you can pull through. It's honestly been an honor being a part of your game for the 2 years it's been out now.:x I honestly hope people can see through their own desires and see just how much work you put into this phenomenal game. I wish you the best of Luck wildcard. And may the mighty dodo lead you to the Ascension chamber with nothing but a torch and a spyglass. Also, to all my fellow survivors, I wish you the best of luck on your games. 

     

    Sincerely:  Two men on Ark named Jade and Jamie

    I keep coming back to this page looking for what you are really up too behind the scenes, but have been ultimately disappointed the last few crunches. 

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm always excited to see things from the "what's next" category. My favorite Crunches include notes on game improvements. I loved the TLC posts, and anything with a Mysterious Mysteries in it. Here's hoping they start announcing that stuff in the streams.

    @Jatheish, Downloads are not blocked. Many players have transferred in their leveled characters and use their already unlocked engrams. We have a handful of players with downloaded characters on Rag 408.

    Does anyone know if Wildcard is still working on fixing the clipping issues in the main-game?
    It seems a little silly is that has yet to be fixed after so many DLC´s

    (Ps: I love Wildcard and I love the game, I ask out of curiosity not negativity)
