Community Crunch 501: Down The Rabbit Hole

any chance we can live in the burrows?

I doubt you'll be able to walk/crawl through actual burrows. I suspect it will be more of a teleport mechanic.

Yes, I agree, you know. Anyway, aside from the creature's release nature... it's truly aesthetically stunning, goodness, it's beautiful, I hope so, and I'm curious to see if it can change size like Soulwyn and Pyromaniac. RIP for the April 1st release lol, but that was to be expected with all that material they were preparing...

Everything but genesis 1

Gen 1 isn't out until June and probably late June at that. They don't typically tease stuff about new maps this early on. Maybe in 2 months from now they might.

Still holding on to the roadmap? 

 

Last month, they teased the new ocean system being tested with Atlas assets. It's a huge task, plus they're simultaneously working on a UE 5.7 upgrade, which is set to release this month according to the January roadmap.

 

Frankly, with such tasks, I expect both being released in December.

I'm not holding on to anything, i'm just stating the facts that are currently known, which is it's June, and no earlier.

As much as I love this game, showcasing a new paid creature instead of SOTF OR GEN1 was a pretty poor choice.

I had predicted that it would be exactly a creature of this form that we would have except for the fact that I imagined it darker, its shape but there it’s really perfect, a thousand wildcard thanks for this creature. I can’t wait to buy it.

Nobody has issues putting money in a game love, but you guys have many promises you didnt keep. Also im still waiting for some crossark cluster on official ( the same as in Evolved ). If you guys want money, earn it through actually listening to your community, not making pay to win creatures, that will be nerf later on.

People will definitely not be happy about spending more money on tames, but I personally understand that the studio needs constant income to keep supporting Ark and I want the game to last a long, long time so I don't mind supporting a season pass of critters. Plus a jackalope is awesome and the design looks great. Hoping for actual burrows to encounter.

I love your copium!
You are forgetting they do have an income from their cut in mods and more important: The plan was to release all ASE content for a certain pricetag so all development cost should have been calculated according to that pricetag.
The fact that they are taking way more time than they made us initialy believe it would take is no excuse to sell you overpriced creature seasonpasses next to Bob's season passes. Seriously, you are bending over way to easy.

Another shoulder pe-wait a minute IS that a human next to him?!? This furrball IS huge 

Okay it is a cool looking bunny and I will definitely be spending money on it. But I would rather spend money on a few other things. 
*new building tiers we have had the same ones since the beginning 
* different item designs ( like smaller replicator that looks like a new age computer or something. Fridge that has clear door and allows you to see what’s on each shelf.

* different armor designs. 
Stuff like that. But the bunny is cool though there is just a lot more you can make money off of.

At this point (and I don't mind)... We'll get a pack before Gen1 similar to how LC was. Which I'm fine with.

I hope it's capable of traveling underground

 

Wildcard’s new Burrowbuck is the most honest tame they’ve ever released.

Is it just me, or is the Burrowbuck actually just a physical representation of Wildcard’s development strategy?

1. It’s elusive: Much like the ASA roadmap.
2. It kicks blinding dirt in your face: Just like the "optimization" updates.
3. It burrows and disappears the moment things get heated: Every Community Crunch ever.

But the real "Fantastic" part? It’s the first of a $9.99 pack where we only know 1 out of the 3 tames. We’re literally taming a rabbit while being asked to go down the financial rabbit hole. 🐇💸

I can’t wait to spend 4 hours taming this thing just for it to glitch into the mesh—which, to be fair, is its natural habitat according to the dossier.

Wildcard: "The lucky rabbit's foot tends to kick back."

The Playerbase: "Our wallets are starting to kick back too, guys."

Can’t wait for the next "Fantastic Tame" to be a paid DLC Pego that steals your credit card info directly from the Steam overlay.

What do we think, survivors? Are we hopping on this or is it time to let this bunny stay in the hole?## show we some reactions to tell me if you agree or disagree

Me sorprende está nueva criatura que se añadida al juego, pero por qué ahora es de pago?
