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!

Eggcellent Adventure Returns!

large.Eggscellent.jpg.7c60ef0fa3a98f452b

Beginning Thursday March 29th until April 10th, survivors will be able to experience the "Eggcellent Adventure" Event on all platforms!

large.Bunnies.jpg.7cec150883261849cb2b0d

During Eggcellent Adventure, survivors will be able to collect special "Bunny Eggs" across the ARK from wild Bunny Dodo's and Bunny Oviraptor's. These Bunny Eggs can paint or used in special Cooking Pot recipes to craft holiday-themed items such as Bunny Ears, a Bunny Costume for the Procoptodon, are two brand new cosmetics: the Knitted Chick Hat and Egg Shell Hat for both survivor and dino!

large.EasterCosmetics.jpg.e80e3b75013a42

  • Wild creatures roaming the ARKs will also find themselves feeling eggcellent, sporting bright colours of Green, Magenta, Yellow, and Blue.
  • Wild Dodos are replaced by Bunny Dodos  - with ears, taming disabled, and drop 50% consumable dodo eggs and 50% Bunny eggs
  • Wild Oviraptors are replaced by Bunny Oviraptors - with ears, taming disabled, and drop 50% consumable Oviraptor eggs and 50% Bunny Eggs
  • Bunny Eggs can be placed on the ground and painted
  • Bunny Eggs will expire after approximately two weeks from inventories, and placed eggs will immediately decay once the event is turned off.
  • Run your private server with '-ActiveEvent=Easter' to turn on the event
  • Running the same server without -ActiveEvent=Easter will delete all placed egg structures
  • PC players can use Steam > ARK > Properties > General > Set Launch Options and paste in -ActiveEvent=Easter to experience the event in single player/non-dedicated/player dedicated worlds. You must enable the event yourself in these modes.
  • Event is not available in Primitive Plus, or single player console worlds, non-dedicated console servers, or player dedicated console servers. Console can however spawn and use the new cosmetics with the command below.

Community Contests!

NVidia Ansel Photography Contest

large.Ansel.jpg.683f020687f3fe873c17912d

Super Resolution Version: http://images.nvidia.com/ansel/SuperResolution/ARK-SuperResolution1/ARK__Survival_Evolved_HighRes_2016_09_01_-_14_38_36_55.html

ARK: Survival Evolved and the Scorched Earth Expansion Pack now include support for NVIDIA Ansel -- a revolutionary new way to capture in-game shots.  Compose shots from any position, adjust with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats, and share the screenshots in 360 via a smartphone, PC or VR headset. 

Learn more about these features from the NVIDIA blog.

Now let’s get to the contest!

There were 3 potential categories for survivors to enter their shots into and they were the following:

Four Categories

Freestyle: These can be images or videos taken using NVIDIA's new Freestyle filters! If videos are submitted, they must have a maximum duration of one minute. 

Super Resolution: These should be taken at 8x Super Resolution. Players can optionally use Depth of Field effects accessible in Spectator mode by pressing the [Delete] key.

Panoramic 360 Stereoscopic 3D: These should be taken at 4x Super Resolution, in 360 Stereoscopic 3D mode. We will crop them to 2D for web display, while also providing the 3D version for viewing within VR display.

Freeform: Any settings, whacky and creative use of Ansel filters are encouraged. Adding humorous titles/captions in Photoshop is also acceptable for this category!

And now without further ado, here are your entries!

Congratulations to everyone!  That is an amazing Titan platform build The Pilgrim!

Thanks Ranger, I got really nervous scrolling down to the ARKitect section today :) there were so many good builds I didn't expect to win. Thanks, Ark judges I am glad you like it, and gtz to everyone else.  Also, I recon mateaperic51 should be hired  as a concept artist for a future Expansion

No breeding event? You serious? Come on man.

I see a lot of people always asking this, but do you realise there are a lot of people with 100's and 100's of eggs just waiting for a breeding event. You realise what will happen when a breeding event comes right?

Yeah nothing will happen on my server besides maybe worse server performance. I'm on a relatively low pop. official server. The tame cap issue only seems to be a major issue on PC. They could at least give us a breeding event on PS4, and Xbox One if the tame situation there allows it.

The carno has green on the cyan.

I figured the green on the carno is yellow blending in with cyan. I'm not familiar with carno colors, are you sure the green is a seperate color zone?

There's no green in any other screenshot, but there is cyan, which isn't mentioned at all.

Like that single player can spawn stuff in to enjoy event also. Means a lot. I assume those commands will work for console as well? Hope so.

I believe it's the same person, art looks the same but I really enjoy seeing the dossiers drawn by  mateaperic51. I look for them each week now as I started noticing them about two or three weeks ago. Not sure when they started popping up. Should be a mini series about failed attempts by (in game) ark's creators all these dinos that either didn't make it into the arks we have available to us, or didn't make it at all. Let mateaperic51 design all the creatures. Wouldn't mind seeing some of his creations in game. Maybe a modder could create some of his stuff and get dev's attention to implement. If I knew mateaperic's name here I'd tag him but that doesn't appear to be it as it doesn't populate anything for me. Love the creativity Mateaperic, keep up the good work.

It's just the same as the Parasaur where it has the purple or royalty colours around the cyan area. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what colours they stated as the picture shows the colours to expect.

The green is in the Carnos color zone 4 (Patterning).  Yellow seems to only be in color zone 1 (Horns).

I'd expect to see a lot of Cyan even if it's not specifically mentioned.  It's a very Easter friendly color, and is the mid-point between blue and green (which are both mentioned).
