Community Crunch 145 & ARK Digest 53!

Getting more excited about Extinction each time I hear new stuff!

Looking good! Excited for the new expansion.

 

Very glad to see the return of the digest! Feels like there's actually some stuff to read now

interesting so the city will be a viable building location unlike the ruins in aberration presents alot of oppurtunity to create hidden bases

This might sound annoying, but when will be the next ARK sale for PC? My friend is waiting to buy it till it's on sale and i don't want to make him wait long for it.

Needed to mention PC

Hey guys can u stop worrying about adding stuff and worry about makeing the game actually run i get so many lag spikes fron bases and weird load areas y dont u make walls load as 1 for everyone conected or let us turn the grapics as low as mobile or somthing u guys worry more about adding content than fixing content what about the rag glich where u phaze through slopes or the lag and lose stam while lagging glich or the i can build bases inside of moutains if i turn graphics on lowest and lag through a wall or maybe the biggest glich of them all the 60f is nearly impossible ive seen bigger games with better optimization so i know its not impossible plz fix ur game

First off give us a damn Halloween event. You guys suck at that!! Second you promised a kibble rework. Get that poop in here now. Thanks. That is all. 

(internally screaming) New fliers? Does that mean that the owl's mountable? And 'challenges' for flying? AAH I can't wait 

People consider the fact that if they go off doing events and kibble reworks, etc, then the end result of extinction will have been either delayed or rushed. They y'all going to complain about THAT.

Dude chill. A halloween event wont make or break the game so its irrelevant. Let them make the DLC and not have to worry about events that don't matter and aren't planned 

All i want from S+ is the hatchery, I do hope they include that into the game at some point. Egg collection when you're not online would be so useful when you cannot play for hours at a time.

Do you like mods like Jurassic Park Expansion or Pyria Mythos Evolved? Also are the glowpets, Ravagers, Karkinos, Roll Rats, Rock Drakes, Reapers, Seekers, and Nameless aliens? Name one mythological or cryptid like creature you wanted to have in your game.

why not both? 

I can't wait for Extinction to be released ! Cause I truly want them to start implementing S+ to vanilla game and go back to making TLCs ! ? Looks like a good DLC but I'll stay fine with my dinos on ragnarok. 

Wew! Not only was my question answered, it was also the first question on the list!

So what do you guys think will be the new challenges for fliers?

I'm thinking corrupted fliers harassing you constantly, or maybe the drones will attack you somehow, or perhaps some turrets lying around that never went offline.

.....bummer ?

Excited for the new map but would love for scorched earth to be playable on the x box. I did buy it after all but the constant dash boarding makes playing impossible. 

I'm hoping that extinction will still have the same feeling as the island and even scorched earth with it being open and not all closed in like aberration. And I hope that it will have the same flying mechanics as the island and scorched earth (don't know why it will change) and I hope that add some mechanic or something so that the graphics aren't terrible because on the island I can run medium and alright fps but on aberration I have to run as low as possible and still get really bad fps.

Guessing there will be wind currents or something on extinction opposed to the perfect flying conditions on the arks?

S+ is a shining example of the benefits of releasing mod tools to the community. It contains a number of improvements to the building system that we’d like to integrate. That said, it also contains a number of features and mechanics that circumvent systems in the game. Given this, we aren’t planning to integrate the mod wholesale. We are, however, examining and tracking individual improvements that would make sense to integrate. Any improvements in this area would come after Extinction launches.

Oh Smurf You, You keep dangling S+ for official players. This is all vaporware until I see the download. You say after extinction. How about your past fixes? You still have a super glitchy game. I still get occasional get the Thylaco gitch. Or glitchy plants or get a giga stuck in the swamps on nothing but water. The number of glitches that were supposed to fixed is huge. All I ask is to finished what you started and delay "new" stuff. The fans would appreciate the updates.

And again no Halloween event this year, Smurf you.

os dinossauros irão sumir?

Porque a cada dlc tem mais criaturas míticas e exoticase e menos dinossauros.

I still cant even connect to my main official server since the last patch screwed something up for me, anytime I join the second anything starts to render the game disconnects and sends me back to the main menu. Seriously what the hell !!

Please take this kindly, but that feature would break official. People would have 1000 gigas all within 5 seconds of hatching and right before 2x events one tribe could fill the entire server Dino cap in an instant, preventing all others from being able to tame or raise for the entire weekend. This is already a problem without egg automation. It's just too much for a live server to manage fairly. It works great for personally owned servers because they could just ban players who don't play nice. But as we all know, official servers cannot have these toys without jerks ruining it.

Aberration is the underground ARK. Both SE and Island are open ARK, and Extinction takes places in a mutated Earth, which technically is an open world, so it may have the same feeling.
They have answered in one of the questions that there will be challenges for survivors using flyer, so there might not be same.
And as for FPS: Nothing they can do about it. Its based on your computer/laptop if it can run the map or not

Kiiinda disappointed there won't be Fear Evolved, but Extinction had better be worth that skip unlike Aberration's constant undermesh, or people will be pissed af.
