The Game Has SEVEN, I Say, SEVEN Large Theropods! Does ARK Really Need Another Large Theropod in Vanilla? Not in My Opinion.

That's your opinion, not the opinion of the people who voted for carchar. Let me remind you enough people voted for it to take second in both votes, which was enough to catch wildcards attention.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, people have different opinions and wants for the game.

But what's the purpose of complaining about a free dino coming to the game?

Reminds me Witcher movie - Season 2 ep.1
This bat looks like monster Bruxa on fly mode.

I have beat swamp cave with full ghillie and medbrew spam every few seconds, the bigger problem is not having cryos and therefore limits dino accesss tremendously but im sure its doable if you were to try some stuff out and experiment

Did you do a Dino inside or did you just bug spray it up and run?! I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do this. I will try your example with the brews. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can just use a scuba tank in that cave 

The problem is it is a “beginner” server which stops the level cap at 44. For some this became “hardcore” to beat. You don’t get gas mask or scuba. You can only get purple drops and below.

So.... it's an onyc-noglin then?

Wow. So impressed...

And despite what has been said about riding it - you can fit a saddle to an onyc too. Oh wait. You still can't. Even though you can. But you can't cos there isn't one. Erm....


Yeah. SO an onyc-noglin. Great.

Even though I'm sad the beetle didn't win Because i really liked the whole life-cycle concept and different gendered armor roles, I'm curious to see how the bat will be as a tame. the implication that it fares well in caves made me immediately think of aberration and if it can be used there...

For me the biggest attraction of ARK has always been the dinosaurs(aka reptiles), not so much other extinct or fictional creatures. I think that's what gives ARK that distinct almost otherworldly atmosphere. Creatures that you can't generally associate visually with real life existing ones.  So, I'm always a fan of seeing any such creatures added even if they somewhat overlap existing ones as long as they remain a viable (don't have to be better) and offer utility.

I would have preferred if each Map had a more distinct creature pool and style rather than sharing the same pool. That would have made for more distinct Map experiences/theme & gameplay balance and allowed more creatures to be added without overlapping their abilities.

Love the bat! And cannot wait for charcharo! Lost island creatures were such a disappointment I forgot about ARK for more than 2 months. But these new upcoming creatures are amazing!

I'd still advise you to hunt these horrors out in the light and away from their caves – they seem uniquely adept at flying and hiding in those dark, narrow spaces.

So just spit balling here but I'm guessing this means that this'll be a tame with a tight turn radius which is definitely appreciated in aerial combat. Perhaps I'm overthinking it but the drained meat bit in the domestication section seems to imply that it might actually have a use as a jerky producer as well, something I mentioned in the past as being something that would be useful in the bloodstalker given its sanguinivorous nature. Would be nice to see this added. Kinda let down at the lack of a midair grapple but overall I'm quite pleased with what I'm seeing thus far.

It's Because I'm Not Familiar with the Voting System for Fjordur. It was Different from the Lost Island One.

So the vote was rigged because you personally failed to understand it amongst a sea of people. Where you one of those kids in school who assumed the other kid was cheating because he knew how to set up a two way trap in connect four?

Is the desmodeus rideable?

…yes?

Thanks for the EVO event, would've been nice if my Lost Island server wouldn't have constantly been disconnecting everybody so we could effectively be part of it.

What time on the 9th does the event start please?

The time is likely on twitter however if you play unofficial don't be surprised if it takes longer, the service providers always drag their feet

Can we add like a full on tameable dragon? Like I think that would be mad cool. Just imagine flying through the skies on a giant dragon. You on it's back feeling the wind in your hair and stuff.  It would be real cool not even gonna lie.

There something wrong with wyverns and drakes my guy?

just curious, why do you feel this way?  there were 9 rounds of voting.

Repair the Artifact od Devious and Massive on Lost Island.  ATM this is much more important than chiblis or a giant bat

Wyverns could finally get a saddle and Drakes could have a slightly higher attack speed... but that´s just my opinion and nothing that would justify adding a new Dragon-creature... so we wouldn´t need that.
Also there are planty of mods adding broken Dragons...

that's so stupid! ark has enough land and air animals! way too many! Aquatic animals are always neglected! no new aggressive sharks or other large aquatic animals.....it's so pathetic and sad from wildcard. e.g. Heliproctocon or New Species Cuttlefish. Wildcard can add at least 10 new water animals so that there is a balance between water / land and air! Wildcard always PROMISED to add water animals or pure water cards, but we players are always disappointed!

Dear Wildcard, as crazy as it sounds can we please get a beginner server for scorched / abberation? It seems odd, but some of us like difficulty of a capped server. PS give us gas masks on island, I’m trying to beat the bosses, but need swamp cave!

The gas mask is available on the island.  Frankly if ur not high enough in level to get the gas mask, u have no business fighting the dragon.  Gamma dragon eats alpha brood or kong for breakfast, WITHOUT ANY MILK!

Also u can get gasmasks from deep sea drops...And u can create cryopods at obs and supply drops(In response to the 1 guy saying no cryos).  Hands down hardest cave is the snow cave and cryos make it easier.  Of course you could carry some explosives(For purlovia) and run on the walls with a megalania.

Ocean was messed up the moment the Jellyfish was added. Ocean has sadly not enough content for too many Creatures And there is no point in using other Creatures than Tuso or Basilo, when Jellyfish just stunlock kill everything that doesn´t manage to oneshot all of them. 

if they at least wouldn´t dismount you...
