Yeah, fear asecended is back again 👻👻

Stop voting Megalosaurus, it doesn't even need a TLC.

Well, what it needs, is a model size increase, to about the same size as the Rex. It is currently WAY too small to logically have a base HP stat of 1025 and a base damage stat of 75!

Clarified the exact size change.

One thing I just don't understand is why you would start a Halloween event two days before Halloween and then let it run for almost two weeks afterwards. I'm in a spooky mood before Halloween—Halloween itself is the highlight, but after that I don't feel the vibe anymore...

I'm genuinely shocked that giga was dethroned in the TLC vote. 

I’m betting on the octopus 🐙 

Honorable mentions are the abyssal plesiosaur and duck-billed water lizard

 

Best of luck to everyone else

May the best creature win ! Odds seem pretty high that we'll end up with a water tame, but we'll see... there's often a surprise at the end of these votes.

I wonder what Chalicotheriums ever did to you. It's NEVER their turn XD

If the event isn't two weeks long, people complain that it's too short, they barely made use of the rates, they didn't have time to collect so and so, etc.
But if the event started earlier... well that would require for WildCard to follow a schedule. And I don't know if you've noticed, but THAT is their biggest fear 🎃

Man i really wish they would start making votes purely for some utility tames, every damn vote is usually dominated by people who want what seems to be a new broken fighter rather than the only thing we are lacking, which is utility tames.

Love goes out towards the stick bug!

The croniod easily the most unique and coolest creature ever

Yeah, I'd prefer a support creature and/or utility creature too, and I'll keep submitting them even though so far they haven't really made a mark.

My theory is that creature votes are inherently biased, because they take place on survivetheark.com instead of the game's main menu (or something equivalent). All players, by definition, open their game. But a large proportion of players just never visits the official website...
Lots of people would probably love some new utility tames. But they are not necessarily the same people who upvote suggestions.

When you see that all it takes is about 500 people to get a creature to lead the Top10, among the thousands of players ASA has... there's a vocal group of people who want even more big bad meanies in this game, and they're the ones who massively show up for the preliminary phase of upvoting creatures. But it's hard to know whether they're truly representative of the overall community. Maybe they are ! It's just impossible to determine.
All I know is, some of the past Community Vote winners are barely used past the novelty effect, so there's a real question to be asked about who really gets to decide what the community wants/needs... and whether at some point, we're just going to have to accept that they get the final world in what creatures makes it to the Top10 everyone else votes on after that. Again and again, a large portion of the playerbase just does. not. show. up. for this phase of the vote.
WildCard certainly seems ok with it, because they have made no effort to improve the voting system.

🙏 I really hope the space whale is breedable when Gen1 is released... 

Why do they always time these things so badly? People want pumpkins the week before Halloween, not the first week of November.

More swim trunks, in October? Can we not have outfit skins that look good? The swim trunks are great. I am sure someone likes them. I would rather have some proper costumes. like policeman, fireman, astronaut, native American,  vikings, ninjas, ghost, business suit or some other outfit besides a banana hammock. I understand we can NOT have that because WC would want to charge for it. Currently there is so many swim trunks one would think it is a bathing suit sim.

Please, Giga needs TLC the most on the list. Quetzals still have quite a bit of utility from their platform saddles. Gigas are basically useless unless you're fighting only Rock Elementals. Carchas are far and away better for OSDs/Element Nodes, etc. Gigas aren't even good for base defense as people will Sniper/Comp/Tek Bow one and rage it in a few shots, tops, and it'll kill you + all your tames after.

It needs to be a symbol of terror in a tribe once again.

the creature vote link doesnt work

Guys... c'mon. 

Fear ascended should have been dropped two weeks ago. Not two days before Halloween. No one wants to celebrate the holiday for two weeks after it's over. 

November first, the costume and spoopy decorations get packed away and I want to start hyping up for turkeys

Turkeys come in December.

J ai hâte de voir le vainqueur du vote

Idc that the halloween event is late, I'm still thrilled!

I hope the "bibically accurate angel" - Crinoid wins the vote cuz it looks really tuff and cool

 

Alsoo why would megalosaurus even need a tlc, I think it works just as intended and has good place in game currently, escpecially in Aberration (imo). There are other creatures who need tlc way more than megalosaurus.. IN MY OPINION

Thanks for including the color numbers in the listings! And for adding a ghost skin for the otter

Fear ascended should start now. Starting it on the 29th means it'll run side-by-side with extra life event. I don't mind if they run together, but let us start having spooky fun now so they don't have to turn off the 2x rates for a day and a half.

When repair ps5 pro wersion? 

Probably 2 years after PS6 launch. Unless they had dropped ASA for ARK: Survival Supreme before they came to the fix.

(History repeating or something...)

Nice! Can’t wait for all of the colours 😍

OMG! GO QUETZALCOATLUS GO! Poor hunched over baby badly needs a TLC!

Don't think I dont see you climbing the ranks Gallimimus! Anxiety personified could absolutely use a makeover

Kinda sad to see Pachyrhinosaurus not on the list anymore, but it is what it is

No, it needs to stay small. It is the Rex of Aberration and that platform for tames to smack Rockwell is TINY
