  • Community Crunch 373: Yi Ling Concept Art, Creature Submissions, and More!

    welcome_crunch2023-1.png

    Revel in the wonders of Yi Ling's menacing appearance. With its sharp beak and even sharper feathers, it makes us ponder: How will Yi Ling integrate with the eclectic wildlife of Aberration?  We are anxious to see how the ARK community and Aberration treat our new arrival on ARK: Survival Ascended.

    Let's take a trip down memory lane as we embark on our journey to The Center for our next Community Creature Contest. What will be the fan-voted real-world creature that will launch with the map for ARK: Survival Ascended

    Please note that this creature will be released for The Center, so make sure your real-world submissions are in theme with that map! As previously stated, we’ll add an additional real-world creature for each expansion pack map release on ARK: Survival Ascended.

    Check out the Creature Submission Guidelines for more information on the submission process, and hop over to the Creature Submission Forum to see the current entries. We are looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life!

    • The entry period will end at 1 PM Pacific on August 14th.
    • The voting will begin immediately after and end on August 21st at 1PM Pacific.

    Make sure to check our Twitter on August 14th for the RankedVote link!

    *Note that the proposed features for the creatures from the submission entry are meant to inspire their design, but certain aspects may still be modified.

    We've made some changes to the creature submission process that you can see below:

    • A single person or entity can only win once.
    • Posts will no longer merge with similar submissions.

    So to clarify: does this mean if one person submits multiple submissions, only one can make it to the Top 10? Or if we win the vote we can’t submit again in the future? Just thinking about those who spent a lot of time and made a lot of progress writing up and drawing dossiers and such.

    I believe that means that say if someone had already won a creature (like the Fasolasuchus, Gigantoraptor, and Yi Qi) they cant make another creature and win.

     

    (but im not an admin this is just my input on how I perceive it)

    And for the second new rule, if someone posts the same creature as another individual, it won’t be counted if it’s lower in the votes or included in the comments?

    I really don't expect much from the concept artists... But that thing does not remotely look like a scansoriopterygid. It is a dodo with bat wings. 💀

    That does sound unfortunate, I mean I loved Gigantoraptor and the ashgcy did an amazing job! I was kind of looking forward to their Diprotodon…

    Why is there basically no actual information about anything. Nothing about the mass conquest bans still. Nothing about ASA. Nothing about the animated series. Nothing about ark 2... I'm disappointed in you guys. How can you live with yourselves when you do so much to let down your own fan base...

    They gave a fair amount of information about ASA so “no information” is false however normally they would have given us more information by this time. Well very few care about the animated series no one cares about ark 2 I would be suprised if ark 2 wasn’t canceled. The animated series is ready to be released it just needs a platform that’s why there is no information. 
     

    they didn’t let anyone down they made everyone more happy then any other game company ever did.

    Looks kinda like a 90’s Saturday morning action cartoon depiction of a terror bird.

    Too bad, the dinos don't interest me in the least, I find these fast successive Keraturwahlen rather slaying and no longer vote. 

    I was hoping for more information (pictures) how items will look in Asa.

    But maybe next week..and I'd really like to see maybe some trivia mentioned about the changes in Asa.
    Regarding the AI, if structures will load BEFORE the animals, to what extent the character creation will change, or if any ideas from the suggestion channel will be considered, or if they will be looked at at all.
    And how taming works in ASA, whether that stays as before, or changes for some animals.

    But WC will be sure to get back to us with more details in due course. i continue to look forward to ASA, but the crunches are very uninteresting, it's not really worth staying up extra for.

    Literally the 20th community crunch since you announced asa and server shut downs. Not being hasty but can we see just a peek of footage next week? Please? There's no way you dont have anything after all this time. Also can we have 3x and it stay. We only have a bit over a month left why not let us go crazy with it?

    This design feels very rushed and looks like a Dodo re-skin. Personally, I think Wildcard should have gone more for the concept design given to them, the longer tail with feathers suited way better then the short feathers we are shown. Kinda funny how they copied the head and colors but then just slapped a Dodo body for the rest. (As I said earlier, way too rushed with the design.)

     

    (Quick edit: unless the tail grows longer the more feathers it has to use like how the submission-concept showed the creatures feathers increasing, which would be really cool not gonna lie)

    I got to say, I kind of like it. Yeah, a longer tail would be better. But it looks like a Murderous Mutant Demon Dodo that wants to tear your limbs off your body and leave them where they drop. So, it fulfills one of its purposes. To be scary.

    I mean... For what it's meant to be. A gliding animal. Idk it looks off. Like it's tail is too short it's wings are too short it's legs are too long. Idk to me this doesn't seem like the design people voted for

    Look  it should not have been the pick they only picked it cus it was a ez dino to make . It's a dang deinonychus  with a dodo  head  has nothing to do with ab and ppl will still stick to that they know works
