Jen Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 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! Eggcellent Adventure Returns! Beginning Thursday March 29th until April 10th, survivors will be able to experience the "Eggcellent Adventure" Event on all platforms! 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! 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.

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! Super Resolution! Winner! BlueDragon - Attack! Runners-up!

Umber0010 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Neato, though I would have loved to see easter colors in addition to the current event, though I don't know how hard that would be for you.

AzDaemon Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I believe your date for Evo event is wrong. You said it goes from the 30th to the 26th. Unless you're running a month long event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited March 27, 2018 by ThePilgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Ranger1 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 40 minutes ago, Weiss said: "green" = cyan? I see nothing green in the screenshots. As GP pointed out (seconds before I posted) the Carno has green, you can see it on the head and flank. Also, since blue and green will be common in this event, in area's where the colors blend you will end up with Cyan anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schelmixi Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Will be both egg types be needed for crafting the new skin items? I'm asking because i play on Aberration only. Would suck if i couldn't get any of the cute new hats if both eggs are needed I already LOVE the new event colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirPeter Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
