Jen Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 A short while ago we announced a special countdown timer that was featured on the front page of our forums counting down to a reveal, and today is that day. We are very excited to announce we are launching a new in-game event: ARKaeology! The event will run beginning today on all platforms until July 15th. As you traverse along the ground on any of the maps (the Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Aberration or Scorched Earth) you will come across fossil mounds which you are able to excavate. Inside the mounds, you'll find a few bones and if you're lucky you'll even find extra loot inside of one (signified by a special particle effect)! After you collect enough bones you’ll be able to craft several skins with the use of a Cooking Pot. There are four brand new skins to collect: Brachiosaurus (Brontosaurus Costume) Stygimoloch (Pachycephalosaurus Costume) Styracosaurus (Triceratops Costume) Dilophosaurus Mask (Hat Skin) There are returning skins, the skeleton bone dino costumes: Rex Bone Costume Carno Bone Costume Raptor Bone Costume Bronto Bone Costume Stego Bone Costume Trike Bone Costume Giganotosaurus Bone Costume Quetzalcoatlus Bone Costume Jerboa Bone Costume Wyvern Bone Costume The ARKaeology event also brings with it a bionic battle beast - the Tek Rex - for survivors to tame, ride and breed! The Tek Rex is, as the name implies, a rare, specially armored wild T-Rex that can achieve a higher level than its standard brethren. Previously isolated to just a cosmetic skin, these wild creatures will be roaming the ARKs (on maps where normal Rexes are present) and are yours for the taming, if you can handle it! During this event all wild dinos have a chance to spawn with additional mutation colors: White, Yellow, Grey, and Black! Patch Notes! Patch Notes for PC Version: v280.114 ARKaeology Event! Scavenge fossils from the various mounds that spawn on every map, be on the lookout for special mounds that contain items and use fossils to craft special skins! The event will run automatically from 15th of June to 15th of July on Multiplayer and Single Player. If you're using a non coredata mods, or a custom map, you can activate the event with the following commandline: -ActiveEvent=ARKaeology you can also run that commandline after the designated period to have the event continue, or opt-out using: -ActiveEvent=None The skins added to the event, are the following: - Brachiosaurus (Brontosaurus Skin) - Stygimoloch (Pachycephalosaurus Skin) - Styracosaurus (Triceratops Skin) - Dilophosaurus Mask (Hat Skin) Bone Skins! - Rex - Carno - Raptor - Bronto - Stego - Trike - Giganotosaurus - Quetzalcoatlus - Jerboa - Wyvern Fortitude rework[ - The threshold for being knocked out increases with fortitude increases - Increased natural insulation from fortitude by 8% Small Tribe Server rule changes (PC ONLY) - 24 hr cooldown on tribe slot reuse - Disabled dino unclaiming - Disabled non-tribe pin code access to structures Tek Rex - 5% of wild Rex spawns are tex - 20% higher wild level - New breeding line Miscellaneous - Tek Tapajara saddle range reduced by 75% - Fix for server performance in certain situations - Many hole fixes across all maps - Ragnarok optimizations - Rendering fixes - Fix emissive when moving the camera - Fix for ambient occlusion rendering issue - Max level has been increased by 1 to 131.

Grognek Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Really disappointed in this really was supposed to be new dinos added in not skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomiDarko Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Wow. This is very disappointing. Just skins... And a Tek-Rex that may consider normal ones useless.? Btw: Who the crap uses Pachys? They are in dire need of a TLC! Edited June 15, 2018 by DomiDarko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolthTeef Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Are Tek rex allowed in bass arena? Or are they just for show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandaBear Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) So does this event give into about the DLC or is it an event similar to the holiday ones? Edited June 15, 2018 by MandaBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galdin Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Disappointed in announcement, for me the only good is the tek-rex though I have to wonder if its permanent or will it vanish after the event is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Just like how Archaeology's about digging around to discern something from what seems to be nothing, Arkaeology requires a bit more digging around to find out everything about the event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEMEKNEMESIS Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Lel 15 days countdown timer, for bone skins and 3 skins ( no 3 news dino ) really Studio poopcard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaMinotaur Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 It’s almost like they had the model for new Dino’s but couldn’t make new AI in time for the countdown so instead of having to delay another event like always they decided to them skins instead just a theory though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuinel Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Wow ... dissapointed like hell ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikaSaurus Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Im the only one who thinks this is pretty cool i guess. I think skins os a perfectly fine way for these dinos to be introduced, with how similar they are to existong creatures. Can't wait to go fossil hunting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidstar Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 been following the timer for 15 days only to discover that we get 4 dinosaur skins...and a hat. I don t want damn skins I want dinos...just add the dinos on the template (like brachiosaurus on bronto) and give them some new abilities or uses...only the abilities need bigger coding did not imagine I could get so dissapointed. this deserved a 2 days timer max... not looking forward to a similar ark announcement ever again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
