  • 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?

    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

    Thanks for the reply, I have tried on 2 separate gachas and both stop like you mentioned but don't drop anything have gone through 2 mistletoe and 12 coal lol 

    I'm on Xbox official pvp 

    Hopefully I figure it out!

    AT THE TIME OF THIS POST, TAMING WASN'T PART OF THE EVENT!

    Why no 2x taming? At least for this one event. I love the 2x breeding don’t get me wrong but I’d love to tame my favorite creatures without wasting half of my day.

    Lmao U blind bro? It says 2x Taming

    I think it is you that is blind because you failed to read the red capitalised sentence in the post you quoted. If you had done so you would have realised 2x taming was not in the post when it was first released.

    It's sad to see people so eager to laugh at others when they themselves fail to read.

    I'm pretty sure I'm not blind, I didn't know what the read sentence mean't, 2x tames been since winter holiday started. I checked it even before the event started. I don't correct someone when  I'm not sure about the answer

    Maybe next time refrain from attacking others by using terms like "are you blind?" when you don't know the full picture. At worst you could offend someone and at the same time make yourself look foolish as you did in this instance.

    There's no need to ask if people are blind, even if it is a rhetorical question.

    I was trying to correct him that there was 2x, not knowing what that red sentence was, Sir Einstein

    Try only feeding them coal and only one at a time. I've noticed some Gachas do not give crystals every feeding and some do. Just try them in different areas. Good luck and have fun!

    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 

    Then quit playing video games and do something else, easy fix.

    Good idea if it was implimented right. But on some servers you have little cliques that prevent non clique players from getting drops. It's doubly bad if the "mod" on that server condones it. Right server 546. Should have a 1 present a day rule.

    Is there a way to create your own private session not as a primary host?  My daughter and I play and made a private game but her as the host I can't ever explore without going "too far" away from the host.

    Still no patch for Mac OSX?

    If Wild Card had included a disclaimer when I bought this game, that they were going to break the Mac Client for 10-14 days, 6 to 8 times per year, I would never have bought it.

    Yay, Call me soft but I love the Christmas event. Theme music is great and I like the new dusting of snow, although man, it’s surprising how it messes with your sense of direction.

    Last year was my first  Christmas event so it was all a bit new for me and I lost all my goodies thanks to the bottomless pit megaspawn cave death glitch, so I’m keen to go hunting again this year,  now I’ve got a jetpack and a wyvern with a ton of stamina lol.

    let the games begin, merry christmas everyone!

    I know the Island map very well and the snow dusting does change things quite a bit. I found myself having to check the map a few times now to get my bearings. It does look amazing though.

    Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!

    I believe you would need to create a non dedicated session/server. Single player and dedicated session/server will have the tether

    This event is royally pissing me off.  Between having no F'n idea where raptor azz is gonna be and his music misleading you, it F'n rains or gets foggy every damn night, the presents despawn to damn fast, and the presents cant hardly be seen for the F'n environment because they dont have a beacon like any other thing thats like this.  So im missing presents because of bs after waiting Flike half a damn hour or more to get repeats when all i want to do is get this over with so i can play dragons dogma.  A beacon would help so darn much.

    Reindeer house? I assume you are using a translator?

    Do you mean raptorclaus that is flying his sleigh in the sky? If so then you need to activate the event if you are on unofficial or single player.
