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

    Be sure to tune in to the Xbox channel on Mixer at 11am PST tomorrow (Tuesday) to see a teaser of one of the creatures coming in Extinction during their ARK stream!

    Last week we introduced you to the cutest cow caterpillar, the Gasbags. 

    TwitchCon and Paris Games Roundup!

    Over the weekend Studio Wildcard had a presence at Paris Games Week and at TwitchCon. Cedric, Jen, and John showcased a new gamemode coming to ARK: Extinction called Orbital Supply Drop. Survivors were greated with the first experience of Extinction play tested outside of the dev team and the team was excited to see the very positive reception of OSD. 

    If you were not able to attend either event, don't fret. We'll be showing some more OSD this weekend on stream too!

    Extra Life Stream - Nov 3!

    Save the date! Extra Life this year is on November 3rd and we'll be streaming for 24-hours straight to raise money for sick kids hospitals. We'll be dropping some Extinction teasers along the way and boosting our official server rates as our Extra Life team gets closer to our goal. Scroll down for more info on the special Evolution Event details this weekend. We'll be sharing our schedule the day of the stream and you'll be able to find all of the stream info on our page:

    https://survivetheark.com/extralife2018

    Note: This page will not be active until Saturday, November 3rd.

    Be sure to tune into our Twitch channel on the 3rd! See you there!

    Mod Community Updates!

    The contest has almost come to a close! On November 1st we will be officially announcing the contest winners as well as the new projects that will be joining the sponsored mod program.

    I also have another tutorial ready for you today. We're continuing with our Virtual Sentry System project and getting some of the basic file setup taken care of.

    Exta Life Special ARK: Evolution Event!

    large.large.EvoEvent.png.eeb58694dd9d4cb

    If you joined us for Extra Life last year you'll already be familiar, but this weekend our Evolution Event will be a bit different than normal. As we're raising money for charity the rates for official servers will rise. We will begin at 1.5x rates at the beginning of the stream (9am PST). For every $5,000 raised the rates will increased by 0.5x up to a maximum of 8x rates. The rates will only last during the 24-hour livestream, so be sure to take advantage of them while they last!

    Increased Harvesting Rates, Taming Rates, EXP Rates, Breeding Rates, Gestation/Egg Hatching Rates, & Raising Rates!

    Are you also reducing the imprint interval?

    Because if you dont alot of creatures wont be able to get 100% imprint.

    An Ankylo for example would get 0% imprint. Since the 8h impriont timer is higher than the breed timer now with the 8x event, resulting in 0 possible imprints done.

    I hope you've considered this.

    Dear ARK team,

    first off: i have no 100% sure information, that is why i ask! (to remind everyone not to take this as a fact; instead i ask to get a confirmation by Wildcard!!!!!)

    about half a year ago the release date for EXTINCTION was announced as 6th of November, over the past weeks we repeatedly got told it will stay as 06.11.18 as release and we did so once again yesterday in the video about Twitch Con.

    but for some reason the release on Steam is shown as "November 2018" only, not the 6th anymore, and even on the steam database ( https://steamdb.info/app/887380/history/ ) its not the 6th anymore, its announced as the 30.11.2018 .......

    now, which is true? i dont know it anymore, cause to be honest i think its really strange that we dont even have an official trailer yet and the game platform which ARK is played on doesnt state a clear date anymore........

    i really hope something is just mixed up, but i have this uneasy feeling that the game isnt ready yet... if so, please tell us or clear up these misinformation, if the 6th will be the launch!

    Their twitter is still named ARK: Extinction (Nov 6)
    The steam page has said November for a very long time, and since the site you linked is connected to steam, it gives the last possible November date (November 30th) because according to steam's page it will be released by that time, but it can't make any earlier decisions from steam alone.

    so, the chances of it being misinformation is pretty high?

    i really hope so, thanks!

    Correct. At the very least, it's said November instead of November 6th for a very long time, before the latest teaser which said November 6th. We can therefore take November 6th as the latest official release date.

    So how many of you, like me, missed that the usual 2x event wasn’t happening today and hatched a butt ton of dinos yesterday?  87 rexes. Running 1x meat again. Oops...

    I hope you've considered this.

    I'm hatching eggs 7 hours before the event starts. Still have to handfeed, but it pretty much secures a 100% imprint. It'd be nice if they could clarify this though.

    If you read the whole OP you'd realise it is starting on Saturday when the charity stream starts.

    This is for a charity event for the kids, the players should be grateful they are getting anything as a result of the kind donations.

    1-  <- Nice Nice

    2- <-<- it offends me!! I have to thank you for nothing worth the event by making a donation to children (sorry children) and I am to enjoy the worst event?

     

    do not give events players change the game, simple. 

    The WC should be happy that even on old servers without support, the players are playing.

    LAG, FIX and more without repair.  Lag 1h  (5AM have baby) +8h that 1 PM,  +8h  9PM, + 8h 5 AM now have 6AM  Nice.  AND do not forget that I will sacrifice the game for 20 hours.

    Can't wait to have up to 8x breeding on tame capped servers. Time to grind metal until my face falls off.

    It is going to take raising $80,000 to get to 8X times. I am not sure that will happen. It will also slowly increase 0.5X over time meaning that even if it gets to 8X it will only be for a few hours.

    Actually it is $65,000 it would need to get to reach 8.0x as the event is starting at 1.5x.
