Administrator Jatheish Posted December 16, 2017 Administrator Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch!

First of all, a huge wholehearted thank you from everyone here at Studio Wildcard to the ARK Community! Since Aberration released we have received a number of kind messages of support for the game and our team. We appreciate each and every one of you; your feedback, creations, videos, live streams, drawings, screenshots, they mean everything to us and we will be forever grateful to the love you show our game. Aberration has been available for a few days now and it has been an absolute blast. Seeing the game do so well on each platform, with so much fan support behind it is incredible. We're looking forward to the weeks ahead and can't wait to experience more of your Aberration stories! In honour of Aberration's release, it's time to offer a bounty! BOUNTY: ALPHA ABERRATION ENDBOSS We're awarding $2000 to the first person who provides video proof of them defeating the Alpha Aberration Endboss on an Official Aberration server! Remember to include proof that this has taken place on an Official Server, you can do so by showing us the main menu which will indicate the server you're on! You can send your entries to survivetheark@studiowildcard.com or Tweet us your video here Dino TLC Preview Now that Aberration has been released the question on your mind might be: what's in-store next for ARK? Today we're excited to share with you the first few images of our Dino TLC update that is currently being worked on. These images are still work-in-progress and are therefore subject to change before final release, but here are the updated Rex, Ape, and Dire Wolf models. Studio Wildcard started out as a small studio and as we've progressed through ARKs development, we've grown tremendously! We've been able to bring on very talented animators and character artists to work on the project. You've seen some of their work in our more recent creatures and expansion packs, and now they'll be taking their abilities and showing some love to some of the original creatures we launched with. We're excited to see where these creatures go with the new advanced techniques and can't wait to show you how they turn out! These three are not the only models that are planned to be upgraded. We have more coming as well but that'll have to remain a Mysterious Mystery for now! Consoles Patches & Play Anywhere Update We've figured out the networking-retail specific issue we ran into with Microsoft! The Windows 10 release accordingly with Play Anywhere and Crossplay will be available on 19th of December! We've cleared the date with Microsoft! We also have a console update in cert at the moment, it'll fix some bugs which were reported as well as adjust some numbers based on the balance feedback we've received for! You can check out the patch notes here: PS4 Patch Notes / Xbox Patch Notes. Ragnarok! Ragnarok Fans! We've got some exciting news regarding the map and its development! In the coming week, Ragnarok will be approximately 100% complete internally, and we'll be releasing a PC update to add in the latest part of the map. We are expecting to deploy this update on Wednesday the 20th of December. The previous Ragnarok update will be making its way to console around the new year, We don't have a precise date as we're not sure on console Cert availability, but once we do we'll let you know.

Shrekasaurus Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Those models really show how much the team has improved! I can't wait to see them in-game, and for the other remodellings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkCreation Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) The dire wolf looks Good. It’s definitely a different choice, rather a different artist? The T Rex looks less like a Tyrannosaurus and more like the reaper in aberration. I do not like the new T. Rex. The other design was fine the way it was. As far as the T Rex roar I would like the original one back before it was changed during the flyer nerf. It sounded much more menacing and powerful. Right now he sounds like a pussy cat. Is there a possibility of going back to the original roar? Edited December 16, 2017 by ArkCreation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Jatheish Posted December 16, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted December 16, 2017 Just a note guys, we'll be running the contest for the next Crunch.

GuardianCraft272 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Can you please make the male ape look more like the male orangutan, after all they are the closest living relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyUncool Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Wow, love the new models! The Direwolf has been one of the models that I've disliked the most in the game, because I've never thought it looked like a wolf but more like a giant rat or something. The rex just looks badass, love it! You've really brought on board great artists, thumbs up from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iStephano Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Damn looks good, good job team!!! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a possibility of going back to the original roar? I Disagree. The new Rex model is good - more accurately matches an adult Tyrannosaur skeleton. The current head looks outright wrong - bulbous nose and pathetic, thin 'needle' like teeth. The head on the new model looks far superior to me - larger, thicker teeth, improved details/texture, and the overall shape appears more accurate. The neck also looks shorter, stronger and correctly proportioned on the new model. In addition to that, the new model simply looks more badass.

DomiDarko Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Wow! Awesome job on the new models! Can't wait to see them all. BTW: some new "special" abilities for them as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree it looks good they did a good job on my model for the Tyrannosaurus. But it no longer looks like a tyrannosaurus I rather have the old version. It’s a Ferrari trying too hard to be a classic Ford Mustang. Sure she is pretty on the outside but it no longer looks like it has muscle underneath all that.

SneakyMcGee Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Great! ANOTHER Play Anywhere delay! Please don't bring your already disappointing delays forward, only to buggar it up and disappoint us once more by delaying it again. C'mon guys, surely you aren't this incompetent!

Lewiatan Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Where are other parts of Dino TLC like kibble and abilities overhauls? This new Trex looks silly with its monster like long teeth and exaggerated spikey eye ridge. The side of the head looks ok, but the front is simply bad.

lupus142 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 is this TLC going to be done for all the other dinos that need it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungnur Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Nice new models, love the rex especially, is the Dino TLC going to give any of the older Dino's new abilitys to make them more relevant again? Also do you have any plans on increasing the loot crate drops on aberration 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisispreston Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) New animals look awesome, are they all getting an visual overhaul or is it a certain selection? Do we know the list? Any idea when we can expect the next Aberration patch? I have second Xbox to host a server for me and my friends and we haven't even been able to play yet cos of the server save bug. Reeaally sucks not being part of that first week of discovery with everyone else and just coming in late after most stuff has been found Edited December 16, 2017 by thisispreston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugdapegos Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 any chance of a rework of the kibble system being teased after all this time too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeRgiinfinity29 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Amazing new models I love the rex!!Just one thing, the tail still looks bad for me, it should be pointing down and aligned with the hip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoSeb Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hey Wildcard, Really nice rework ! I really like the ape and wolf. But please, can you or your designer remodel the T-rex arms ? A T-rex was never able to get this arm postion like a mantis. As a palaontolgist I also really disapointd about the pteranodon. Please Wildcard, remove the teeth - it calls Pteranodon But at all really good work :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirayli Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The rework is nicely done. There is just one thing bothering me: the ears of the direwolf should be smaller like in the first model. There is this rule in nature, that animals in cold regions have smaller ears and tails and legs and so on and in hotter regions the extremities are longer. Therefor it would be more realistic to leave the ears short on the new model because the Direwolf is a snow-biom animal. : ) Buuuut everything else is nice. Different but more vital and nice : ) And props to the Ragnarok-Team! : ) Amazing that you finished the map so fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
