    Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!

    We're excited to announce that we'll reveal a development roadmap across all iterations of the ARK Franchise next month.

    With 65,870 votes, this Community Vote has been a popular one!  Ideas from the past and new entries battled it out in RankedVote to determine the next creature.  One of the entries returns to claim a victory and reminds us that bugs are mite-y cool creatures 😎.

    Rhyniognatha is an extinct genus of arthropod of disputed placement and is considered by many as the oldest insect known.  It lived 35 million years before the first amphibians.

    We are excited to get this to the creature design team and start working on Rhyniognatha!  Look for Rhyniognatha to make a grand appearance in ARK: Survival Evolved later this year!

    Voting Results

    Holy Frijoles! I was hoping the Rhyniognatha would end up as a surprise winner with the Gorgonopsid and Bastion beetle duking it out. But I didn't think it would actually happen!

     

    Easily the creature I've been hoping for the most the last 3 votes.

    a complete disappointment the voting, that style of voting is complete garbage, the favorites lost by hate votes, the worst of all is that Wildcard let people vote who don't even play ARK.

    Still, at least panther's crap didn't win.

    I'm a little disappointed as well, since I wanted minigun beetle, but heck, this is cool-can't wait to see what WC does with the idea.

    Whew lad, Rhynio really pulled a dark horse on us and came in hard to take the win. Congrats to the supporters. Also I'm glad this time the devs didn't cheapen the vote by giving us the runnerup any way. Really wasn't that up for doing the whole song and dance about vote integrity a third time

    The original vote style was far worse since letting people actually see the votes allowed players to sway it far more heavily out of spite or made them drop out entirely when it was obvious their choice was losing.

    Honestly, I'm not too happy with the winner. We had all these cool creatures in the votes, Gorgonopsid, Nothosaurus, Hatzegopteryx, The Crocodile thing, the Cave lion the giant cheetah, hell, I would've been happy with the goat or bison but out of all the creatures in the vote, the Butterfly/Moth won? Well, at least the beetle didn't win so its the lesser of two evils I guess.

    Good stuff lad, but be honest, how hard does it brick your frames loading that behemoth into render?

    Was hoping it'd be like the Christmas event and have only event colors spawning.

    I'd hardly call the lion a good contender seeing as it got a leg up from outside influence despite it being a pretty mediocre creature who's only real claim to fame was being another suggestion to counter shadowmanes. The others were nice though.

    So everyone was upset when the Carcharo was announced because it was "just another giga" and didn't want it in the game/ wanted it to be a giga tlc instead.

    But then you all see "Sky giga" proposed and it gets over half of all the points voted in the system.

    Gets another giga creature: complains

    gets another giga-creature submission right after that: ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK

    Y'all are something else.

    Honestly, I have to circle over the ship two or three times with my dino before it's done loading.
    But once its all in, things run pretty smooth. We keep the structure limits-per-area a bit lower than official servers and I haven't maxed out any areas yet.

    I think a method should be implemented that involves a player at least voting with their character's implant number since this type of voting where people who don't even have the game or have heard of it can enter to vote. What's the point of someone who doesn't play ARK being able to decide the creature selected just because someone else asked them to? it's complete stupidity.

    well since he is playing on pc it's not too terribly bad, he built this thing on a server I own and I haven't bothered to check it out in person yet as I am never on that server
