  • Community Crunch 211: Winter Wonderland 4

    Winter Wonderland will be returning for the fourth time on Tuesday with all new presents for ARK survivors.  The winter-themed holiday event begins tomorrow at 10am PST for PC, XBOX, and PS4 and will last until Tuesday, January 7th.  All maps will receive Winter Wonderland and all its content including RaptorClaus and GachaClaus, however only The Island will have a visual winter theme.

    One of our most notable helpers, RaptorClaus, will be back to drop off holiday gifts filled with loot, event items, mistletoe, and lumps of coal for all those naughty survivors.  You'll be able to catch RaptorClaus flying across the skies at midnight (game time) on all maps.

    GachaClaus is also returning to help RaptorClaus spread the holiday cheer!  GachaClaus will be roaming all maps in holiday garb and sporting holiday-themed colors. He will be accepting your coal and in exchange will gift you holiday themed items, or you can trade in your mistletoe and coal for a chance at event items. weapons, armor and a brand new event item, Chibis!

    While Winter Wonderland is active, you'll have a chance to collect over 50 ARK chibi petsARK chibi pets are cute miniaturized versions of the creatures you have become familiar with in your travels across the ARK universe.  Chibi's pets can be leveled up by killing specific alpha creatures and in return, you'll be granted additional player levels .  Some chibi pets may be harder to find so you'll have to visit GachaClaus and RaptorClaus to find all the chibi pets!  Can you collect them all?

    What do they raptor Claus drops look like? I just updated and we got the notification of raptor Claus, but I'm not sure where to find them or tell which is the gift drops. Halloween had candy corn and an orange beam of light, is this one holiday theme and beam color also?

     

    Way above the roof of the world

      Raptor Claus does fly across the sky at midnight ,

    Tossing packages glowing gold in the night,

    No beam have they

    but the glow that stays until the morning light.

    So like 10-20 ppl complain about no 2Xtaming..   then 10-20 ppl jump on them for not reading, and that they added it.. then 10-20 ppl jump on them, telling them, hey they added it afterwards, so don't jump on them...  Then the cycle continues...   See I read it all... if we could just get 10-20 ppl talking about Chibis.. that'd be great...

    I would like to point out here again to us switch players who receive no updates and are ignored. I hope the fan community of other platforms help us to exert pressure on wildcard. I would therefore like to help everyone who wants to help us switch players not to buy genesis and to point out the switch. we switch players also financed the dlc with the purchase price from ark. I would be happy if the community now helps us to increase the pressure on wildcard to finally serve us with updates. There is also no optimization or bug fixes.

    It really is pathetic what wildcard has done to the switch community, or should I say hasn’t done. 
     

    Played all range of MMOs and online games since 2001. Never seen a group or company conduct themselves like this. Absolutely love the game. I waited years to try this game out purely from all the negative comments I’ve heard about wildcard. I thought the complaints were just the same old whines I’ve seen countless times, but I’m starting to see why wildcard has such a negative reputation.

    Man I'm so freaking tired of all these bs garbage game companys that want to charge way to dam much for a game than the DLC and they do Christmas and Halloween crap updates that usually give you useless cosmetic crap but even after a game has been out for as long as ark has they can't fix simple crap. Like going from one map to another and proof your charecter is just gone and all you have done or tamed is now useless its bullpoop

    Cedric, I'm level 132, my xp bar is maxed and I can not level up. Same with other ppl in my tribe who are over 130, so it's 2x xp but we aren't allowed xp? Or to level up? Without a chibi? For the next 20 days?

    I'm so confused.....

    Can we please fix this very frustrating and super laggy even by limiting the amount of drops a tribe/toon can pick up each day from raptor clause? Getting really tired of the Chinese box tribes taking every drop.

    Anyone have issues with their XP? Mine just says Im maxed out at 102. I was halfway to 103 when the update dropped sense that time I haven’t gained any xp over the last couple of days with my xp bar stuck at full. Do I have to lvl a chibi to continue leveling?

    I think the chibis were a wonderful idea and rly something to work towards during this event, I’d love to see in the next event 50 more chibis or how ever many you would make next time, maybe they could all be water ones that float, maybe after you make all the Dino chibis you come out with rare Boss Chibis or titan chibis, just a thought but I think you got the golden goose right here ;)

    I can't click on any of the menu tabs on this page to search for forums or anything like that. I can only click on the main links like for this article but i cant use the on page search bar or access any of the stuff. I had to sign in by Google searching the sign in page and clicking on a link that took me directly to sign in instead of the home page. Anyone else have this problem?

    I have not tried it yet this year but had that happen to me last year.  It seems you have to try a different gacha if the one you feed does not work.  And if you fed one to much that was giving a return it would suddenly stop.  Never new if that was a chance dynamic or glitch.  Try another gacha.

    Gacha spits out a gemstone so watch for it don't let it get out of sight slip into the ground.  

    I'm on pc-pve will try when I log back in.

    update:

    Yep still works for me.  Just try another gacha and put in only one at a time.  GL
