  • Community Crunch 378: Extinction Creature Submissions, EVO Event, and More!

    welcome_crunch2023-1.png

    While we continue to work on ARK: Survival Ascended, we're enjoying watching how the community creature votes play out along with helping to create those creatures for our players to tame in ASA. There are a few days left to submit and vote for your favorite entries so jump on in if you'd like to contribute and see your favorite come to life in-game!

    Vote_Extinction1.jpg

    Our next Community Creature Vote winner will land on the corrupted earth, Extinction. Prepare your submissions for what we expect will bring out the endless creativity of our amazing community and you may find your creature making its debut with the release of the Extinction map on ARK: Survival Ascended!

    Please note that this creature will be released for Extinction, 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 September 11th.
    • The voting will begin immediately after and end on September 18th at 4PM Pacific.
    • The winner will be announced in the Crunch of September 22nd.

    Make sure to check our Twitter on September 11th 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.

    To recap previous announcements, we have taken save games from the Official Network and have provided the files to you so that you can host your own server and continue the progress you’ve made on the Official Network.

    We have already taken one snapshot and intend to take another during the week of the Official Network Shutdown in September in preparation for ASA’s October release, with more details to come at a later date!

    Its like dead, non life game and game developers without any will to show their care of the product.
    Creature submission = cheap way to prolong the useless waiting for nothing.

    "I can't wait for the crunch! Shastasaurus is going to be so cool!"

    Oh, it's just copy & paste junk. Okay, thanks. We totally needed reminding about the vote. I had no idea it was going on.

    Not even a "We have some info coming soon" Wildcard your PR is looking worse and worse. Why are you doing this to yourself.

    Have you guys considered changing up the community crunch to bi-weekly and every post has some actual news? I mean c'mon you have 2 games (supposedly) in the works, one that's meant to release next month...and this is the best you can come up with? An absolute nothingburger.

    LET US UPLOAD OUR TAMES INTO LOCAL MEMORY TO SP! Even if we can't get the whole map saves at least let us keep the animals we have and move them to single player. Bases can be rebuilt but breed lines that years have been spent perfecting are irreplaceable

    More like 21-22 days, literally 3 weeks, and nothing except for changes to trees supplydrops, and buildings???? We will release new info everyother week, my ***. Explain why you guys can never tell the truth, you are seriously the greatest pathological liar of all time

    No updates on new game, no marketing, no photos. Doesn't feel like the moves of a confident developer or publisher. I really don't get what the company is doing atm

    Vote on a creature that you may not ever see, or won't see til the extinction DLC comes out... 🤦‍♂️

    The absolute worst way to treat the community that bought this game and supported this is to treat us like mushrooms (feed us sh!t and keep us in the dark). Disappointed doesn't even begin to say how the vast majority of this community feels

    Darn well that's too bad, because they aren't getting up to squat by the looks of things. If it weren't for the creature votes, the crunches would be completely empty \_(^_^)_/

    The creatures are cool and all, but they could at least talk about something else exciting rather than filling the crunch space with copy&paste content from previous crunches.

    This is disappointing, obviously ASA isnt coming this year. And this creature vote thing will take months if they continue at this rate until they finish all the maps.
