  • Community Crunch 218: New Free Map DLC, New Sponsored Mods, and On The Horizon

    Introducing Crystal Isles

    ARK_Crystal_Isles_Promo_STA.jpg

    We are very excited to announce that the one-of-a kind experience of the ISO: Crystal Isles map will be coming to PC, XBOX, and PlayStation this Summer!

    Crystal Isles is a stunning, other-worldly map filled with a vibrant display of teeming life scattered amidst its varied landscapes, awe inspiring floating islands and breathtaking biomes. Ever since Crystal Isles launched as a mod in 2016, its fantasy appeal has secured its place as one of the most popular maps within the ARK community and we can't wait to bring it to players as a fully supported free DLC.

    The Crystal Isles DLC will also launch resplendent with a new real-world dinosaur to tame! What do you think the new dinosaur may be?


    In other news, we've been itching to share that we'll be performing a TLC Pass 3 in the Summer of 2020! This TLC pass will see some of our classic creatures get some new love via visual and functional upgrades.

    As we move closer to the release of the new Crystal Isles DLC and our much-awaited TLC Pass 3 we'll share more details and information with our players.


     

    New Sponsored Mods

    Dead Survival

    Dead-Survival-banner_min.jpg

    Tired of dinosaurs? Of course you aren’t, but sometimes we do want a little change in our diet. Dead Survival does just that, you can swap out the wildlife of the game with some … not… quite life? Zombies… I’m trying to say you can have zombies. Lots and lots of zombies. Hordes of them even.

    Check out the Dead Survival Mod

    Roleplay Additional Items

    RoleplayAdditionalItems.jpg

    RP communities have been a long time aspect of ARK, but sometimes our core structures can feel a bit insubstantial when you are trying to build a set for acting in. Roleplay Additional Items can add a lot more flourish to your locations from lighting structures and gear, to new taxidermy stations!

    Check out the Roleplay Additional Items Mod

    ArkVenture Park

    ArkventureParkLogo.jpg

    I’m pretty sure we have all dreamed of having our own backyard water slides and roller coasters. (Zen may have actually tried at one point, and failed… obviously) But now you can do just that in your base. Build that mine-cart roller-coaster that plows through your living room or a water-slide to the lava pools out back!

    Check out the ArkVenture Park Mod

    Castles, Keeps, and Forts: Remastered

    Mod_banner_Template_1080_Modified.jpg

    CKF development went dormant for a little while while the author went on a break. But it’s back, and getting a face-lift. The author is taking what they learned over the years and working on a remastered CKF (The original is still available). So far it’s looking great!

    Check out the Castles, Keeps, and Forts Mod

     


     

    On The Horizon

    High_resolution_wallpaper_background_ID_77701718619-1200x506.jpg

     

    Primitive+

    Primitive+ remains a priority.  We have engineering teams working on the complications from the Genesis update.  We will keep you informed with any significant progress

    Genesis Part I Update

    We're continuing to work on Genesis bugs and balance and we plan to keep up with the rapid iterations. Thank you for your reports and feedback.

    If you already want to be so super accurate and brilliant in remarks, just like me you should instruct devs that giving x2 in fact they give X4

    lalala.jpg

    If I wanted to be super accurate and brilliant i'd be pointing out the difference between the Crunch saying x2 and people saying they are sick of x1 and want it x2.

    The crunch doesn't state it is x2 of the current x1. It is basically stating it is x2 of current rates. That's being super accurate. No matter how you put it facts are facts, and we could go on at this all day but it's not much fun is it.

    Kids being kids and adults who can't yet adult.. ignore the idiots and just do what you do. It's getting silly responding to them at this point.

     It is basically stating it is x2 of current rates.

    So, my point from from the beginning of our qualrrell was that I wanted / suggested all rates in all weekdays to be x2 just like evo event x2 rates crunch state.and just like crunch does not write that Evo will not be x4 by original rates but x2 the same I wrote x2. It was you stubbornly teached me that today's x2 is in fact x4. Why mislead and mix up all this stubbornness? Original rates, what you write about is a kind of ARK ice age, when The island was the only map...

    Notice, toady boy (you were first who insulted me :)), Evo Event is canceled this weekend and this "silly responding" is caused by discussion of rates and multipliers related to topic. I think GP has a mind, you don't have to tell him who to ignore or not.

    What about all those people that work weekends and can never experience the Evo events, they finally get a once-in-a-liftetime special Evo event in the week to enjoy. You don't get a weekend event on one occasion and you claim it's unfair.

    Geez what an attitude.

    I would have to agree for i think the events should run a bit longer. Look at some of the events for super big games such as destiny, cod, fortnite, those events run for 2 to 4 weeks and sometimes longer. WC it might be a good idea for you to listen to the community, why you ask? Well i have the answer. You ignore the community we move to other games ark disappears with the community, then you loose money, you have to make another game, your employees quit due to the lack of funds, and you get soaked up microsoft, and then shut down. Who in the community has seen these events happen to good games ? If so tell them why the events should last longer and lets see if they listen, for its called grouping up for what we want.

    Maybe ark and wild card should concentrate on fixing all the issues and problems they caused with this genesis map release, along with all of the know issues they have had for years before making new maps and dinos.  Just a thought

    i am grateful that WC is adding new stuff, but they need to try to fix the bugs right now.

     

    (granted they aren't releasing it now but still)

    they need to try to get the old and new bugs fixed. TBH i had a Conspiracy theory that Wildcard is having a "dennis nedry" Situation. because how come nearly every bug fix adds like 2 extra bugs..  (that or i am be going crazy?, *whispers to myself* they will fix it. they will! )

    thats what honesty the bronto should be replaced with. something like the Brachy from Ark additions (but not as Strong)  so it could be a Giga = for the herbivores.

    Both break stone

    Both are strong

    and both you don't want to mess with!

    but maybe it could lose a Few abilities like the Roar to scar gigas (its a bit much)

     

     

     

    in fact i would wan't nearly all those dinos from that mod (granted some have to be tone down like the Acrocanthosaurus) and really only one shouldn't be in-game if it was added (that being Domination Rex due to copyright)

    but all of those dinos to me are just as good as any official creature Ark Makes and the person who made earns a pat on the back!

    Not sure if there is an official submission thread for TLC #3 ideas. But my nominations are

    Mosasaur:

    -Movement improvement: Be able to swim straight up and straight down without staying horizontal the whole time. 

    -Strong Heavy Attack: Just like what we see in the movies. I'd love to see an attack where the Mosa comes out of the water with a huge gaping bite attack!

    -Model Improvement

     

    Araneo: 

    - Grappling Hook Web: Pretty much what is says on the tin. Give the Araneo the ability to use it's web like a grappling hook. Once reeled in, you can stick to the wall in a turret mode, recover stamina and continue on.

     

    Megalodon:

    - Blood Frenzy Buff: Deal increasing damage to enemies the lower their health gets.

    - Ignored by other Megalodons when riding/not riding.

    -Model Improvement.

     

    Giganotosaurus: (unpopular opinion warning)

    -Melee Damage Cap: There are alot of Gigas in circulation with stupendously hight melee. A cap would add balance across the board and make it an equal playing field.

    -Mega Bite: An attack the allows the Giga to exceed its melee damage cap, dealing alot of damage but also consumes alot of stamina. Repeated use can enrage your Giga very quickly.

     

    Diplodocus:

    -What can we honestly do with this one? Give it a new siege saddle? Give it an area buff that increases your structure hitpoints? Who knows.

     

    Morellatops:

    -Increase Water Storage: Replace Oxygen with Water. Increasing its water increases the amount it can hold.

    -Irrigation Buff: Can irrigate nearby crop plots and reservoirs. Useful for cave dwellers.

    These are mine anyway boys.

    Mad because you ain't getting paid or just cranky?

    Not only are you an incel but you lack basic empathy as well. Though I guess they go hand in hand, since it requires you to see counterparts of your own species (women) as subhuman to be an incel, thus lacking empathy.

    I just want to know what on earth makes someone play a poorly optimized game and go "ah yep, a woman made this. That's the problem. That's the only problem it could ever be. No man has ever made a game that runs poorly. Ever. In the history of gaming. Ever."

    Gtfo, you won't be missed.
