  • Community Crunch 517: Sharper Than Ever

    image.png

    The Tickle Chicken is sharpening its claws.

    Thanks to your Extra Life vote, one of ARK's most iconic creatures is getting a fresh coat of feathers, all while staying true to the role Survivors have relied on for years. Rather than redefining the creature, this TLC focuses on improving combat responsiveness, controls, traversal, visual progression and expanding the creature’s personality. 

    The Therizino has always had a reputation for turning an innocent stroll through the woods into a frantic sprint for your life, and that isn't changing anytime soon. Survivors will find that wild ones are a little more patient than they used to be. They now make their intentions crystal clear, fixing you with an unblinking stare, spreading those infamous claws, and giving you one last chance to reconsider your life choices. Whether you heed that warning is entirely up to you.

    Survivors will also notice that no two hardworking Therizinos look quite the same. A seasoned harvester proudly wears the marks of its trade, with claws and posture reflecting the work it does best, making every faithful companion more unique.

    We're also excited to reveal the brand-new Therizinosaurus dossier, offering a fresh look at this legendary creature and its place on the ARKs.

    Species: Therizinosaurus multiensis
    Time: Late Cretaceous
    Diet: Herbivore
    Temperament: Territorial

    Like several other creatures on the ARKs, Therizinosaurus multiensis seems to be adjusting to our presence. It will even give interlopers a courtesy warning before attacking. The beast’s newfound tolerance works both ways, as tribes no longer see its encroaching populations as an existential threat. That said, a provoked Therizino is more dangerous than ever.
    From a safe distance you’ll notice a Therizino adapted to delicate foraging will flash longer, sharper claws, while the rippers of a power-harvester get worn and chipped. Get too close, and whichever style of claws it has will tear into you with the same vicious double-swipe attack.

    We’re lucky that it’s still easy to tame a Therizino. Sedate one into submission and feed it enough, and it’ll eventually fall into line. A mounted Therizino turns out to be more clever and agile than you'd expect, for such a big creature. It can turn on a dime, and hop onto or over obstacles that’d stop an Allo or Rex in their tracks.

    You’d be wise to enlist a Therzino’s help in your tribe’s fight for survival. It’s a reliable and tireless harvester and those same reaping blades are formidable weapons. Saddle one up for the fierce protection it gives a rider from attackers and would-be predators.

    It is with wistful hearts that today we are announcing the Official Servers for 'ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition' on Nintendo Switch will sunset on August 31st, 2026. Over a million players have explored these servers since the original ARK Switch release in 2018 and the launch of Grove Street Games' rebuilt Switch remaster in 2022. We want to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey.

    Please note that Unofficial Servers and Single Player modes will continue to remain fully playable after this date.

    Conquest, introduced to ARK: Survival Ascended by Snail Games, focuses on large-scale PvP, with increased rates, and other changes listed below. The increased rates will allow tribes to set up and establish themselves quickly and enable them to rebuild after potential losses instead of being wiped completely.

    The official Conquest servers are open for PC, Xbox and PlayStation.

    Yeah, I want my new theri. I use one of those for delivery in my base. But please, give the ankylo the ability to get obsidian with the karkino or the argy. Or sell me a new dino with that ability. I have the argy and the karkino for the task. But the ankylo cant get obsidian by himself. And dont forget to fix the game WC. I cant see how many dinos I need to kill to finish a mission in the dlc bounty task paper.

    No ETA for the Theri, but with the Araneo, the Dossier was released about two months before the TLC patch dropped. (Dossier was released on March 21st, and the TLC dropped on May 20th.)

    If we see similar timing with the Theri, I'd bet on the TLC dropping around the week of September 28th.

    This is 100% just a guess, though. :)

    Ah, my mistake. I must have missed when the full Theri dossier was revealed, rather than just the concept art. Could you link me to the Community Crunch where the dossier (in full book form with Helena's notes and illustrations) was first shown? I'd like to verify the date so I can correct my comment. :)

    The thing you are missing here is your memory. The new dossier was never shown before today, only the Theri concept art was.

    I don't like the new dossier, it reads less like an explorer note and more like a dev log.

    It's probably only going to be three TLC's this year, because they're also probably busy with maps remasters and new ones, UE 5.7, and other stuff.
