Community Crunch 485: Malwyn, Elegance Made Lethal

The only dinos worth TLCing tyat had a chance are in, the next ones on the list uninterest me completely (Bronto is too far down now). I'll take it.

Unholy Hellhound that looks awesome!!!! The additional eyes are very interesting!!!

Sooo no turkey trial?

The dog is pretty cool

Gotta agree that Bronto is way too low on this list sadly.

No, they have classic Turkey Trial coming. Everything from before will be coming back. But no brand new content like with our recent Fear Ascended.

Awesome wish they'd communicate that here!

Yep, the Quetzal is definitely in need of a TLC big time; it deserves it.

 

BTW, about time we saw some Veilwyn evolutions, but wasn't expecting that...

They did, it was just kinda buried under the other news. Below the Astraeos news. Starts 26th.

When servers open for transfers on valguero?

 

When were servers supposed to open for Valg?

 

 

Looks BRUTAAAAL 

Oh, nice! Glad the Quetzal is locked in! The rest of that top 5 doesn't look too bad, although since we've heard that most/all of the original Island critters will be getting a glow-up, I'd be okay with swapping the Theri out for the Bronto. I'm still on the fence about the Megalo-snore-us, tho. No shade, either way.

Can't believe a creature as heavily-used as the Thyla is that high on the list, though. It's pretty powerful and useful as-is, and just about the only thing that could make it better is to give it credit for kills it gets with the Bleed ability.

Can I pet that dawg?

that dog will pet your face off

HORRIBLE 

If you voted for Theriz over bronto you should get punched in the mug.

I hope that the Turkey Trials event shop in Club Ark becomes active and lets you buy all the items the stand shows (been wanting that pot skin for a year). Even when the shops are open to buy from, not everything shown on the display stand can be bought; like the Love Evolved bed skin isn't for sale but it's up there to see.

I wonder if some day the Club Ark rewards like unlocked cosmetics will apply to both pvp and pve characters rather than needing to unlock them twice if you play on both official servers.

Thank you ARK Community, for knocking the giga down a peg and locking down another creature that ACTUALLY needs a TLC. Now please keep it up, Giga doesn't need a TLC.

Nice, nice, so Quetz is voted above Giga, despite having relevancy through all points in the game even without TLC over the years, while Gigas are only good at midgame at best and you're trolling if you use them endgame since Carchas and other creatures far outclass them and have zero downsides.

You could have just said you don't play PVP. But honestly, even PVE wise there's just no reason to use Gigas over Carcha, unless you plan to exclusively go fight Rock Golems, and Velonosaurs are still far better at that. They simply have no place in the game currently and LC and Gen 1 will only widen that gap more until Giga gets its much deserved TLC.

Don't know where this hateboner you have for the creature comes from, either, but it's definitely not based on actually experiencing it in PVP. Go do an OSD/Element Node defense with Gigas and tell me they're good after you get ran up on by 6 Reapers/6 fully stacked Carchas that literally run and jump circles around you + your tribe, spin you away while you can't hit them, outheal all damage you do, have better turn radius, better stamina costs, better stamina recovery and better weight, etc. Carcha especially highlight how awful Giga's rage + poor stamina is to its kit. They just keep going and going and going, while Gigas drain stamina entirely from literally 3 seconds of sprinting or a small handful of bites.

I'm not sure about the creature itself (at least not when presented as elegant... we have a VERY different understanding of that word ! XD ) but I do love its saddle. I don't know if these are ropes or jumper cables, but either way !

Forgive me for repeating myself, but God I hope the Giga and Theriz don't get a TLC. Not only are they already used a lot already compared to many others on that list, but also...
...guys. Guys, this is WildCard. Do you trust them to make the Theriz abilities BETTER ? Like, does anyone here genuinely think that WildCard, WILDCARD OKAY, will improve it ?! You people have more trust in these devs than I can muster. For so many creatures like the Galli or Pelagornis, the only way is up. Let's focus on a TLC for that instead.

WOAH there... THAT'S a... veilwyn.. I mean IT'S evolution?! Holy moly, that looks so tuff. Now that makes me wonder how will the other evolution is gonna look like.. Is it going to be kinda the oppisite, like a tanky version, yet still creepy OR kinda like not-so-scary-looking evolution that looks a tad bit more natural???!!! 😮

Can't wait for Lost Colony even more now!!! I mean... the date is still the same, hasn't been pushed for later..haha...I hope it stays the same XD I'm hopeful

Hope the giga stays there, it really needs a tlc lol... what is that tyranntx on about anyways, clearly most of ark players want a giga tlc, he's acting like his opinion is better lol.. was impossible to ignore the arguing in previous crunch LMAO

Lets face it the whole thing is a nonsense - I love Theri and Thyla but they should both be bottom of that TLC list.
I'm mainly peeved that we're not allowed to vote Sabertooth for a TLC because it already had one (that updated visuals but didn't fix it being useless)...but honestly, they should just be TLCing all the old dinos as default (including ones with previous 'failed TLC' like the Sabertooth).

Great news, Quetzal need TLC very much!
