Jen Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! The Community Crunch is where we share important things going on with ARK, as well as host contests and showcase creations made by the community! TLC #2 Preview - Updated Dossiers! With TLC patch #2 just around the corner (tomorrow for PC!) we're excited to share with you the new dossiers for the 6 creatures that will be receiving changes this patch. This includes the Argentavis, Parasaur, Raptor, Sarcosuchus, Spinosaur, and Triceratops. Take a look! And here is a bonus peek at the Argent and Sarco in-action! Check out those chompers but don't get too close! Mod Workshop #1 & Tutorial Contest #2! Hello everyone, Zen here! This week I've got something special for the modding community. Remember when I said I was going to start bringing tutorials to the community? Well, that starts today and it's called Wildcard Workshop! The first video is for completely new modders and those that are interested in starting. Check it out! In the next episode, we start getting into the gritty work with our first mod We've also got another modding tutorial contest! We're going to do something a bit more fun this time and look at a topic that will show an interesting way to make the game look more dynamic by having materials be affected by the time of day in-game! I expect to see some pretty interesting results from this contest. PS4 North America Sale! ARK: 2x Evolution Event Weekend!

Rahthos Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Love the new dossiers!According to the steam patch notes page the patch is dropping tomorrow, but I was surprised to see no mention of it in the crunch Missed it at the top!

ehuhoser Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 the ark video death montage is pretty much spot on for your first month of dying, just wish the raptor has proper front arms facing inwards and not down on the TLC like they should be anatomically correct for raptors but it all looks good. Nice job on all those who submitted, good stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlc138 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Thanks for runner up award! Great builds and videos from everyone as usual. I’ll gladyvtake take second place to the castle Aaron and crew did! They killed it with that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighFlyer15 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 "Although its movement speed is slower in a biped stance, it gains considerable attacking strength and mobility in this form." The Spino in quad form is already one of most mobile creatures in the game, climbing rocks with ease, so what do they mean by this sentence? It becomes slower but gains mobility.

LordMaxilos Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Amazing work on the new dossiers. Just wanted to point out the teeny tiny misspelling in the Spino's dossier. It says "...Quadriped..." wereas it's actually supposed to say "Quadruped". Just a minor typo, otherwise the dossiers are fire - Keep up the good work! //Your local ARK fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esquire1980 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Thank you for the dev kit tutorial(s). Both WC and Zen. Very nice job Zen, I believe I got what you were teaching (and I barely have figured out how to turn this Alienware on). I'll be watching all of these. Hope you'll be touching on Blender also in future updates for creating new items, clothes, etc. Edited March 20, 2018 by Esquire1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets a better turn radius, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UDGxKnight Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 We need the Crystal Isles map on console @ZenRowe help us out Also I adore these new dossiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow9cat Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Congrats to Aaron and Team! That Rag castle rebuild is top notch! It really looks amazing. I’m impressed with all the things that can be done with vanilla ark and vanilla P+. I’m inspired to try it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atreuss Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Dossiers look really good, but please give us S+ on console. There is no competition for us with stick tables and chairs and straw mats. I mean we don't even have a variety of furniture let alone the awesome architecture of S+. I don't even want to waste time building anymore until it is released. How about some kind of update on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combi Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 any1 got a big bird area i need storage for all flyers but quetzals (PS4 PVE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBeanlover Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 i have no clue if this asking to much. But it would be amazing if you guys had 2 times as the normal rate. The way it is rn is ok just its hard for any noob on pvp to acutlly make it far enough in one day then get raided the next. Plus when is orp comeing to xbox one? I think it would be nice to play on them and not worry about getting offline raided. Thank you for the aesome updates tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
