  • Community Crunch 497: Boar to be Wild

    image.png

    The wilds of Astraeos keep getting wilder.

    Arriving this summer, Boaratos is not your typical forest brute. Towering at nearly twice the size of a Daeodon, this fiery juggernaut’s massive tusks carve through trees with surprising results, while its temper can quite literally ignite—setting its fur and tusks ablaze to unleash explosive attacks that leave enemies burning in its wake.

    This fearsome creature is based on a concept by DragonHeart, creator of the Arkology: Overseer’s Experiments mod, and it’s bringing a whole new kind of heat to Astraeos.

    Expire Servers.jpg

    Expire servers are temporary servers across the network that will eventually be removed, and you can find them by searching for "Expire" in the session filter.

    These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on March 9. We're preemptively using our allocation for future maps to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience the newest content Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto a new map temporarily.

    Please note that these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on March 9, so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period.

    Anyone know when the Rex received a TLC update? Been confused by that since the donation event last year where they said it wasn’t eligible to be voted for?

    So everyone who doesnt have that dlc gets nothing again this week. Awesome.

    Just buy it 🤷‍♂️ there is enough comming for free. At least the people who buyed the map get a really cool addition. Besides thats created by Nekatus and not by wildcard so stop crying

    And does the full profit go to Nekatus?
    Given the state of the game and still not having done all ASE maps for ASA I see no reason to reward Wildcard by buying more before having finished what was promised.

    This is a good reaction to the "controversy" around unique creatures in Astraeos : it doesn't put the onus on Nekatus to "fix" what he had never broken in the first place ; it does provide a new creature to this map that's not just a way for WildCard to monetize Atlas assets a second time ; it promotes the work of a mod dev who had never had this opportunity before (and who hopefully is getting money from WildCard for this)... Seems like an all around win to me.

    When WildCard does something right (or delegates it the right way, at the very least), it needs to be said. Plus it's rare enough that it's not too exhausting to do 😏

    It's not paid content, it's not a priority to talk about...

    It’s very much paid content 🤣🤣

    ...The TLC is not paid content, what do you mean ? You're not going to be billed for the privilege of using the TLCd version of these creatures.

    EDIT : if you're referring to the fact that the TLCs are only happening because of the Extra Life donations, that's not what paid content means. A lot of players haven't donated to the event and will still be able to access the creatures once they're TLCd.
