  • Community Crunch 153: Extinction Chronicles V Tomorrow!

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

    Extinction Chronicles V!

    Ark_ExtinctionChronicles.png

    Tomorrow there will be a client and server side update that will bring Extinction Chronicles V to survivors on PC, Xbox, and PS4! 

    Leading up to the release of Extinction there will be monthly drops of Extinction-related Explorer Notes on The Island, Scorched Earth, and Aberration. Once collected these notes will unlock new Extinction-related skins!

    There will also be the appearance of more powerful Tek-themed Dinosaur variants within the ARKs each month. These Tek Dinos are permanent additions (meaning they will continue to spawn even after the event is over), with a new one beginning to appear each month.

    • In Extinction Chronicles I we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Helmet and the Tek Rex.
    • In Extinction Chronicles II we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Boots and the Tek Stego. 
    • In Extinction Chronicles III we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Pants and the Tek Raptor.
    • In Extinction Chronicles IV we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Shirt and the Tek Parasaur.

    And now, tomorrow we're excited to bring you three new Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Gloves and a new Tek creature, the Tek Quetzal!

    In addition, special colored dinos will be populating the ARKs. You'll be able to find creatures sporting black, red, green, purple, and white up until the launch of Extinction, beginning tomorrow. Be sure to take advantage of these special colors before they're extinct!

    Last but not least: just like we did last month, you can expect to see some more extinction screenshots tomorrow here on our forums! Be sure to check back for that.

    Community Livestream #9 Roundup!

    On October 11th we had our seventh Community Livestream. Thank you to all of those who attended and participated! The community team had a lot of fun and we hope you did as well. If you weren't able to catch the stream you can watch the video-on-demand on our Twitch page or by clicking on the video below.

    This we toured a map called Fractured, a fantastical setting of floating islands far above the sea. This map created by TheAlchemist is in early access, but features many floating islands that appear to have once been joined, but torn apart by something... very large.

    We were also joined by special guest Zunit, a PVP player and Twitch streamer. This podcast-style discussion had us chatting about the different types of player experiences on our official network such as 6-man experience versus Conquest, as well as diving into some fond memories of times past.

    Mod Community Updates!

    Hello Survivors!

    The modding contest voting period is still open! If you've been on the fence about what mods to vote for, we have been doing spotlights over on our Twitch channel. If you happened to miss any, they are conveniently gathered into a collection that can be viewed at any time. It's not over though, we are only halfway through the contestants. There is still another full week of spotlights to do! So drop by and hang out while we take a dive into the mods offered up by the community.

    Don't forget to vote, mod authors spend uncountable hours creating content for others to enjoy just out of a love for the game.
    https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/modding/voting/

    I also have a new tutorial ready for you. We're going to be starting on a full project; so the first thing we need is a design document. So let's lay out the plans for our "Virtual Sentry System".

    ARK Digest Next Week!

    Fanart of the Week!

    The area on the surface is supposed to kill everything in the day.

    There were spots where things weren't affected by this.

    Most likely, this means they fixed those spots.

    Aww, why did they do that, couldnt they just keep wiping tribes? :P

    Does the 2x breeding cover incubation and hatching times aswell or is it just how often females can breed.

     

    not that its much use on most maps as they are all tame capped but thats a different story.

    Breeding usually includes maturation, egg hatching and mating interval. Also baby food consumption too.

    Pretty exited for extinction, i hope they tlc a bunch of dinos after its release and hopefully stop all exploits of the game and definitely optimise the massive feces out of it.

    In that case its brilliant, being a solo tribe i cant do the long 2 day hand feeding tames, so i stick with the argy, ptera and biggest is rex so far

    The base game is still full of bugs, people are still waiting for things like S+ or the mode where you are a dino to be added. It needs a lot of rework, many TLCs... but all of those things are in stand-by (and will probably stay forever in standby) because WC is too busy making DLCs instead of taking care of the original game. 

    the DLCs are part of the original game. as in they were planned from the very start. they're too busy making DLCs because that is what they planned to do even before the island came out. The original game does not exist anymore, it evolved into the current game. if your talking about the original map, well all the other maps need to be taken care of too, not just the island.

    Great patch notes! Excited for the new colors!

    "Increased damage range for players/dinos on surface of Aberration"

    What does that mean?

    I think it's to be able to hit meshers, because they can't add kill volumes there

    Tons of servers just hit dino cap! no-one can tame or breed so this whole event will be wasted :) 

    AMEN to that mate
    From storage bases where ppl just refresh their stuff to blocked resources and entrances to stuff...
    Why not continue to research ways to prevent this and implement them , will also help the stupid cap wich makes taming impossible

    So what's the deal with primitive plus now then? Is it just getting screwed over with not getting anymore updates?
