Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! :Jerbhi:

Extinction Chronicles III!

Tomorrow there will be a client and server side update that will bring Extinction Chronicles III to survivors on PC, Xbox, and PS4! 

Leading up to the release of Extinction there will be monthly drops of Extinction-related Explorer Notes on The Island, Scorched Earth, and Aberration. Once collected these notes will unlock new Extinction-related skins!

There will also be the appearance of more powerful Tek-themed Dinosaur variants within the ARKs each month. These Tek Dinos are permanent additions (meaning they will continue to spawn even after the event is over), with a new one beginning to appear each month. In Extinction Chronicles I we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Helmet and the Tek Rex. In Extinction Chronicles II we released three Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Boots and the Tek Stego.

And now, tomorrow we're excited to bring you three new Explorer Notes, the Corrupted Pants and a new Tek creature, the Tek Raptor!

In addition, special colored dinos will be populating the ARKs. You'll be able to find creatures sporting red, black, white, and grey for the next month beginning tomorrow. Be sure to take advantage of these special colors before they're extinct!

Just a quick reminder that the ARK Digest will be making a come back! Our goal is to bring the Digest back about once a month with the first being on August 20th.

If you have a question you want answered by the ARK dev team please submit your questions with the Subject "ARK Q&A" to our email address: arkfans@studiowildcard.com

Mod Community Updates!

Good day everybody! Zen here with some reminders.

I know the devkit update hasn't hit the epic launcher yet, however the devkit update that includes TLC 2 content is available for manual install.
So in case that information never crossed your path, you can get it from here:

https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/modding/ark-survival-evolved/62293-6-21-ark-dev-kit-v280-0-is-now-on-google-drive

The tutorial bounty board is starting to look pretty popular, I've already received a few submissions for things like map optimizations and chat commands, so you can look forward to a couple tutorials on that subject at the beginning of next month. If you are interested in helping make tutorials, please check out the board each month to see what bounties are available, they do have cash awards attached to them. If you are looking for some tutorials on topics for yourself but there aren't any bounties for it, you will find a form on the same page to submit a bounty request.

This system is designed to be driven by community needs but I do need your help to know what those needs are, whether it be adding new request topics or voting on existing requests to be made into bounties.

Hopefully Xbox will get the Aberrant Direbear/Gigantopithecus transfer fix with this next patch. It’s only been 7 months!

Question, where it says you will add the Tek Raptor. it does not mention it will have a 20% higher base level. Why is that? As the Tek Stego and Rex have the 20% higher base level so why does the raptor not have it??

I suspect it may have been missed off by accident. Wouldn't make sense to not have the increase like the others.

Another question for you and i assume it was an error most likely when they wrote it. the increased level cap the dinos and player got is 1 per chronicles. Now in these notes it says that the players will get 1 extra level and not the dino. Do you think that was an error or will it be players can go that extra level and not dinos?

So are you not altering the life span of consumables on scorched earth? i dont see anything about it. at the moment the only thing tolerable to raise on scorched earth is wyverns, since meat spoils so fast.

It has already been changed some patches ago. If you are on console, you probably have to wait...

Teleporters are 100% going to ruin Aberration on pvp servers. Be impossible to hold bases when they can build in almost unraidable locations and just teleport to a forward FOB.

Please no teleporters on aberration.... That ruins aberration for pvp servers..... For real...

100% right ! With broken spots as big as carno underneath the world border ceiling on abb you will never be abled to push enemys of the server because these spots are only accessable by rock drake / climbing pick —> place main fob up there along with a tp and you cant get soaked ! Same goes for bases up there that are unraidable and are propably never gonna be found !

WC not thinking about the pvp part of the game again?? ?

Be sure to take advantage of these special colors before they're extinct!

So on one hand you're encouraging people to go tame new dinos just for cosmetic purposes on the other you don't resolve Server Cap limit issue.

Lame. sooo lame.

I play on SP so don't have again that hassle, but it's no rose garden much more fun playing with others on officials, but broken game and no help in sight. So staying on my SP Island all by my lonesome...
