  • 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.

    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

    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

    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!

    On The Horizon

    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.

    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. 

     

    Love the Mosa ideas and if its not straight vertical up and down give him some bend up and down at least..

    Megalodon ignore on Meg .. great idea

    Dear Ark creaters, I am once again going to voice my dissatisfaction with not only the Genesis DCL but now the entire game. My husband and I have been trying to play the DCL together since it came out, unfortunately for us (obviously not for you who created it, because you already have our money) we have not been able to. So I finally just decided that we should just continue to play one of the other maps together, BUT GUESS WHAT!? Not only can we NOT play The new DCL together, but it is also saying that the other maps have not been downloaded now as well. This is horrible, we paid good money for all of the DCL’S. If you’r not going to fix this major problem before all the other little things, then we the people should be able to get our money back!

    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.

    Nice paragraph.

    Crystal Isles = A woman made this map. Last time I played it, I was getting 15 fps because she just spammed the map with pretty colored tree's. Maybe it's just me, but, huge bummer for video gaming this year so far. Basically going to play until my Nitrado servers expire and that's about it for me I think. 

    HOPEFULLY, New World, will be something that will entertain me, if not, may be giving the gaming a break and just focus on saving money for a bit.

    why did you need to state a woman made this map?

    New stuff is great and all but it’s fricken annoying that you aren’t paying attention to the new thing that just came out! I get that this was delayed and you may have already made the deal but you have something that’s broken that many people have paid money for. I just ask that you fix the many problems with genesis first. if you don’t know what glitches to fix try the many ark reddit page (r/arkps4 for example) that have been posted for several weeks.

    Know of any successful females in the computer/video game industry off the top of your head, without doing a deep search into google? No, you don't and there's a reason for that.

    Does anyone know the chances of them adding the RP Decorations to official? That would be great for pve players.

     

    Also, whats the chances of us getting the liquid and crystal varients of creatures in the Crystal Isles dlc?

    I would LOVE to tame me a blood wyvern, and a liquid one XD

    On the Horison...
    Is a fix for the Dye in the works?

    I ask because I want to know if we players should wait for a fix, or if we have to repaint everything. Knowing what you devs have planned will help us know what action to take with our bases.

    My tribe will need about a million dyes if 'we' are to fix this ourselves. It is a time-consuming task for us, a million dyes or more, many many hours, or even days.

    Knowing if you will fix it, OR not, will help us plan our time.

    479Kgaj.jpg
    Image: It hurts my eyes to stare into the back hole of our base. Lights only give a tiny amount of reflection on the textures. Overall, this old black dye is now pitch black. Our tribe may have over a million places that have been painted.

    Bon c'est assez Maintenant , Chaque Mise a jour que vous faite , vous empirez de plus en plus le jeu. Je joue sur le primitif + depuis le début et à chaque fois , c'est nous qui subissons les longs arrêts des serveurs et la seule chose que vous êtes capable de dire c'est '' On est désolé ''.  Excuse mais ça fait 3 ans le jeu est supposé être stable. À Chaque mise à jour, nous perdons 15 jours de jeu et tout nos dinos pour des Cartes que nous avons pas accès sur le Primitif Plus. En plus de perdre tout les événements X2 et X3,  Nous perdons tout notre travail à cause de vos Niaiseries. Arrêtez de sortir des DLC DE MARDE PLEIN DE BUGG  pis réparez les cartes déjà existantes.  

    enough is enough Now, Every Update that you make, you make the game worse and worse. I play on the primitive + from the beginning and each time, it is we who undergo the long stops of the servers and the only thing you can say is "We are sorry". Excuse but it's been 3 years the game is supposed to be stable. With each update, we lose 15 days of play and all our dinos for Cards that we have not access on the Primitive Plus. In addition to losing all events X2 and X3, We lose all our work because of your Nonsense. Stop going out poopTY DLC WITH ERROR AND LAGG and repair the already existing cards.
