Hell Yeah🔥

That concept art looks phenomenal! Now I'm looking forward to the Giga TLC far more than I thought I would. As a solo player, I still have yet to tame one of my own, so I never got to experience Giga ownership. I just know how devastating they are to encounter in the wild.

(Still super stoked for the new Theri, too! The artwork looks amazing and I'm excited to try out the new abilities!)

As always, the fan art community is killing it. I love that Umbra art by @DrawolfKnight! Colors, posing, and perspective are all on point!

I like it, it looks amazing and can't wait until it releases, and I am also excited for the Therizino, they are both look amazing and can't wait until a can use them. Great work Wildcard!

That thing is actually really cool looking fitting for a a giga. I really hated the original. This will be amazing 

You WC, are doing well with the TLC content, well done. But please, fix aberration. In PS5 the game crash every time I set foot in the blue zone. Even in my own base the game crash. And can you give me a dino with the ability to get obsidian with the argy and the karkinos?. I need a lot of obsidian.😂

All that matters is the rage dismount mechanic. If the giga still dismounts the rider when it rages then it will continue to be garbage comapred to the carcha, at least in pvp

 

Looks great, I like how the head is the same

After these 3 I can’t wait for the megalo

it be just a charcha reskin without it

it's literally cemented in the lore that it is meant to attack enemies and allies alike

I'm a simple person. I see Giga....  I RUN FOR DEAR LIFE!!!

It looks amazing and terrifying.

It's looks glorious... I think it's interesting that the face looks (mostly) the same, but with some new accents. And man, is it HUGE looking now! Can't wait.

The rage dismount mechanic is, in its current form, just completely one sided and hilariously bad. I'm hoping that if that's still there in some capacity that the "contagious fury" part described here means it will enrage ALL creatures nearby, including enemy players' tames. That would make it actually dangerous to enrage enemy Gigas, which would be a good thing, as currently people just rage them safely from a distance and then they oneshot you and your tames  Hopefully that's something considered too, like the rage mechanic leans heavily towards melee damage so Velonasaurs and players with Fabricated Snipers don't just safely rage them across the map. I'd honestly be fine with all that, if it made it so that your enraged tames can't hurt each other too, or at least take reduced damage.

EDIT: Also, I hope they get some stat updates, the HP gains are non-existent and only increase on bred imprint, and the stamina gain and stamina usage/drain is terrible... Not exaggerating, you can only sprint for 5 seconds. As it stands, you should not level anything on Gigas besides Melee and maybe weight, but its base weight and level gains are not great. HP and stamina get nothing in return. I always felt like them and Carchas should have had stat lines + gains similar to Mosasaurus. I really hope they get some updated sounds/roar, or at least an extended roar and one that can be used while moving like the Acro and Spino.

taming a Giga is a tough task, especially solo due to their enormous torpor stat...plus they wake up extremely fast so you have to stay near it at all times when it's knocked out (a max level one wakes up in just 4 minutes)

Makes me wonder if the taming method will change. Kind of hope not, or at least not by much, since we already have more than enough gimmick tames in the game, many of which border on infuriating😅

What a beautiful concept! I love how there is a hint of stomp attack in the description. 

One request though. For the love of holy raptor please keep It a KO tame! I absolutely hate all these pain in the ass/unreliable/buggy taming methods added recently.

And one final thought. How about giving player an ability to control rage level? Lowering rage meter by roaring? Roaring should have a small CD, so player won't be able to spam It and be 100% safe. If a giga rages - Its on the player for not watching the rage levels. Make rage meter look like acro's adrenaline bar, so It very well visible and easy to manage.

Looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

I hope they don't make it's roar too different from what it was because it was just so iconic and badass !!!

Don't care. They are pointless. They need to do a TLC update to the Rex and make it the true king it is supposed to be. 

Im excited about this, thats probably my favorite dino

The Rex had a TLC in 2018 and during the Extra Life Charity Wildcard made it Clear that the Rex was NOT an Option considering it already had a TLC. Besides, this is ARK the same series with Pyromanes, Astrocetus, Rockwell, Lost King and the Titans so the Rex isn't special.

It’s enough to make a grown man cry.

Put the side crests on his head; that way, he’ll look absolutely perfect without losing his identity.

All I want is for it to have a tail attack, crouch, and be able to take ONE JUST ONE into every boss fight, no need for more, JUST 1 not two or three, please for the people who LOVE this dino and wanna experience tek cave and alpha bosses in general with their lovely gigs give us a 1 gig limit for boss arenas!!!
