  • 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.

    Customer Support for the official ARK: Survival Evolved networks will end on September 29, 2023, at 1:00 PM PST / 4:00 PM EST, in accordance with the scheduled sunsetting of Official Servers. We appreciate your support and engagement  throughout the ARK: Survival Evolved journey. Stay tuned because we can't wait to see you surviving and thriving again in ARK: Survival Ascended!

    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!

    I thought that the rules for the creature submissions had to be real dinosaurs. Are you saying that is different for these new ones for ASA? If so, sorry, I hadn't known that before.

    Warum bekommen wir keine Infos zu ASA?? Es wäre mal nett zu erfahren wie die Arbeit daran läuft und was für Fortschritte Ihr bis jetzt gemacht habt, sowie auch mal ein Gameplay zeigen und wann es veröffentlich wird. Wird es so laufen bei euch wie sonst auch immer? Schaltet die Server dann ab und sagt aufeinmal, ohhh das tut uns leid aber es gab Probleme bei der Entwicklung von ASA und müssen es verschieben auf Weihnachten. Wir stehen hier ohne irgendwelche Infos von euch aber Hauptsache irgendwelche Kreaturen abstimmen für die karten im ASA. Des passt doch vorne und hinten nicht, ich hab eher das Gefühl das es nur eine verarsche ist und uns hinhalten wollen. 

    Ich hoffe das in den nächsten 14 Tage Infos über ASA kommen und uns auch was gezeigt wird sowie auch ein Termin für das überarbeitete ASE

    Will we be getting any more information on ASA or ARK2 soon?

    +1 at least a gameplay peak at ASA

    just over 2 weeks to sunset the servers, surely you must have something working by now.

    Can you tell us next week if we will get any of the engrams in ASA that have been added to the game in the 8 years that are not map specific (cryopods and fridges, nets, canoe, egg incubator, etc.)? Also, since we will have only island for the first few months, are you planning to add any dinos from other maps (maewing, deinon, etc.)? These would be instant QOL improvements that will probably be modded in by someone anyway, but could just be added into the base game from day 1 (October 1st?)!

    Even if you don't have any content to share with us, just tell us if we are getting any of this (straight yes or no answers would be awesome, thanks!)!

    I think that the top 5 for the Extinction vote should all be added considering how bland and lifeless the map can feel. And we already have the top 10 submitters callabing in the actual forums

    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

    We'll see it. We just wont see it till early 2024. I don't understand how people can hate on the game so much even tho we haven't seen anything yet. Just because we got a less than exiting crunch doesn't mean the game is bad.

    4k hours pc and probably 2k console, years spent playing this game. Bought it more than once, dlcs included supported this game from the beginning. And we get absolutely 0 if you take away the weekly reminder that they are shutting ASE down, with no news on ASA. And you wonder how people can hate on it? I don't give a sh!t about a dino for a map that is down story line... why not vote for creatures in ark 3 while we are at it 🤦‍♂️. Delusional if you can't understand why the majority of people aren't happy w WC and or SG

    This is a joke,right?

    First,this remaster gonna be free and no lose the progres in official servers.

    Now,to play with the saves,console players need rent a server to nitrado

    Its just a cashgrab,just add new creatures(15) and 2 new maps.

    WC  and SG want ark players who have lots of hours/progres in 12 maps,start again in island like the first days,no cryopods,maewings,incubators,etc.Waiting the release of every dlc,waiting again to transfer stuff/dinos.

    No have trailers,any clue of how is this new island,but hey lets buy when release,what could go wrong?

    Do you understand that "calling out" is not "hate"?
    After months of not getting answeres or even a decent response, do you realy think trust is deserved?
    Most of us are fully grown human beings and the fact we like to play a fantasy game does not mean we believe all fairytales.
    Our doubt is not because one less than exiting crunch, it is cultivated by WC/SG behaviour over the years: One always missing deadlines, the other one abusing it's power and cheating.

    But you do you, dream of a perfect game in 2024...

    well they said they will put all the maps on the switch

    That will never happen, after they shut down the servers they done with ase. Even on console gen2 is full with glitches, i dont think you would be  able to play it normal even if it would be out on switch.

    What do you mean getting rid of them?

    You mean the vote only being real-world?

    For all we know the 4 new creatures in the new DLC could be non-real creatures.

    do you know when gen2 will come out for switch?

    Of course it will happen. Switch is completely unaffected and separate from the ASE shutdown.

    LOLOLOLOLOL! The Community Crunch 389 is 25 minutes late (when I posted this). Maybe they've decided not to post because they have nothing to say. Imagine all the disappointed people there would be if the Shasta saddle is delayed another week...

    But I'm not 100% sure yet... it might just be late because they are trying to find more copy&paste content to use.

    I wonder why you need Shasta saddle info.  Do you really believe that ASA The Center will be released within 2 years? if at all? You are looking for information about something completely distant in time. Its pointless.

    Actually, Snail Games put their money where their mouth is. If ASA isn't released by OCT 31st, ARK as a franchise is dead. Center is mostly re-used Island and Scorched Earth assets, so if ARK doesn't die will prob see a release within a couple months of SE release which is supposedly before the end of the year.

    Xbox will have to rent a server from Nitrado to use those saves.
