Community Crunch 390: Winter Wonderland, Official ARK Merch, and More!

Kinda of sad no mention of how PTR or often PTR will be rolled out to official. I was really looking forward to some info on cryos

Community voted merch ? This has potential... Sadly the creatures I like are rarely among the most popular, but I'll keep hoping XD
(Chalicotherium plushie, anyone ?)
The poop plush is hilarious, though. Hopefully it does not come scented...?

Quick question : does the ARK store ship internationally ?

Poop plushie!!!

*Edit* Oh well, looks like only ships to the US. One less sale for WC then...

I have had my nogliiiiin for a month and a half. Pretty nice quality. 

pods coming with this update??

Any news on cryopods?

we can’t wait for the November surprise and the adventure packs and the new story maps

Thank you WC for being the best company and making the best sci fi story driven game and the best game ever

Here is my store suggestions:

Keychains
Rex plush
Black shirt with ASA logo
Event themed shirts

Can someone tell me where exactly I insert the "Command line launch argument"? I'm relatively new to Unofficial and haven't a clue what that means.

Any chance you'll start shipping to Australia from the Official Merch store? I wanted to buy the plushies but it only seems to ship within the US :((

I expected this event not to be x1.5 but it ended up being the same rates, a little disappointed on that part

This is cool and all I hate to be a buzzkill but what happened to the advertised enhance rendering? 

On ps5 started great then extra life happened and the Dino rendering distance shrunk and stayed that way. The rubber banding, server lag, jerky movement, horrible door animation aside, we are here to tame creatures finding a quetzal you have to fly into it literally,non trap taming a spino once on flee 3 steps where'd it go. Please 🙏🙏🙏 fix rendering Dino's.

WC potresti prendere in considerazione l'aggiunta di server orp pvp prima della fine di quest'anno? Sarebbe molto bello iniziare a giocare durante questo evento. Sarebbe un buon inizio

I hope that those shirt images are just a poor photoshop... There is no way they are worth $40-50:
 

Gone fishing t-shirt:
1. What is that weird spot at the bottom right on the front

2. Why does it have the ASE logo on the front and ASA logo on the back

 

ARK: Survival Evolved Design T-Shirts - Flame
1. Same as Gone fishing t-shirt logo issue(#2)

 

The website itself also just seems to be some poorly copy/pasted template:

This entire site looks to have been made in <5 minutes and looks pretty sketchy...

If I was a troll, I could make a joke about ASA being a copy/paste like that website...

Oh, wait... That's not a joke.

As for merch= stickers, pins (I see you have some, but definitely more), buttons, bookmarks, keychains, art prints are all big collectibles right now. 

Blankets, playing cards, figurines/tabletop rpg minis, statues, wall scroll maps, and drinkware all could be definite possibilities. 

 

As for specific animals: PLEASE THYLACOLEO STUFF! I have a hard time finding cool thyla stuff in general and LOVE Ark thyla! I would love to see that for sure! I also have a friend that would go bonkers for a lystrosaur plush! The Ark Raptor and parasaur have a very iconic look as well as the Ark trike (being hybrid as it is) so those could be good ones as well to do stuff with. I think the Argentavis are pretty and really love the Ark Yutyrannus as well. 

 

Also, if there were Ark temporary tattoos or prosthetics for cosplay made of the specimen implant that'd be awesome! Or maybe something to do with HLN-A as a light?

I adore chalicotherium and think they're cute! Could even make a pin of one with a beer 🍺 in its hand

why are we doing such low rates? seasonal events have never had such low rates. weekends need to be 2x and events atleast 3x like they used to be. timegating progression is not content.

I agree

wow .5 for official,thats so dam stupid.others get 3.5 and 4.5 and we get 1.5.maybe if you didnt pick such crap service provider in nitrado, they might run better.might as well take the event and no have it,.so stupid .5 more,wow 

Fun with event and all, but less fun when server has been tame capped for 3 weeks now and your GM team doesn't remove pillar spammers. Without rule enforcement, your official PVE servers are running like poop and people are quitting already citing no cryopods and no enforcement as reasons to go unofficial again. Just sad, the influx of new people to Official PVE has been great but it doesn't last, people are used to active moderating of servers, not  tickets taking forever to be responded to, and then closed without anything being done because GMs only care about PVP right now? Unofficial servers had modders bringing Cryopods on first week, why are we to wait so long?!

Will SOTF be a separate download? And can we opt out? I have no intention of ever playing that and don't want X gigs of storage wasted on something I don't need or use.

I like merch, awesome!!!! But I personally don't like most of the pictures on the t-shirts because I don't want a toddler survivor on it. I would buy immediately where the ark logo is stronger on it and/or just an animal in action (less cartoon/anime like). Also the sayings should be optional... more like a "heavy metal" band shirt 😆

Wildcard, why dont you add option, when is event Like this or anykind of event that we can change players name?? We get boring from started name or even make a mistake on begin and name stayed human 😂😂 (Like me) but dont wont lose progress on official pve. Thanks
