CatBunBlue302 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I had the same problem! But i noticed someone saying that hatched dinos were getting the colors so i figured the game was at its dino limit and didn't automatically kill some to make room for the event colored ones. Anyway have an admin destroy wild dinos and they should start to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to custom holiday events on private servers which have not been working since Genesis dropped. The official event works now so hopefully custom ones willas well. In fact, im going to switch my server to a different event and see if it works right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesna008 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Well, I activated the Halloween event and it didn't work so im afraid once the official event is over we will be back to boring regular colored dinos. I guess WC doesn't understand that normal colors make people want to play less and/or tame less dinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I am going to have to disagree with you here. I don't actually like seeing the brightly coloured theme dinos, it's just too unrealistic. Yes, I know it's just a game and therefore there is a lot of poetic licence, but the themed colours are just so unnatural. I'd rather play with "normal" coloured dinos. However, because it's only for a limited time it doesn't bother me that much. I would not like to see these brightly coloured dinos all the time. That would spoil the whole experience for me.

Pandyana Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The event is somewhat working on my Nitrado server. Very few dinos are special colored. Does anyone know if this is intentional? If so I hate it lol. @Myrm this is where I disagree with you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors on the dinos. Of course though I am a very colorful person in real life too. It's personal preference for each person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my server, however, I have not seen one Easter dino. I am not sure if there is anything I need to do with my Nitrado server settings to initiate the Easter themed dinos.

Restart server and then do a dino wipe with admin command "Destroywilddinos". Then you should start seeing them, I thought u didn't like them though?

You will still see the coloured theme dinos as they come in with the update you downloaded. But what won't work is the multipliers that are connected to the event, such as the current 4x. You'll have to work on those manually. You may have to expand the conversation to see the employee confirm that the active event has been removed and her explanation as to why. 4 hours ago, Hesna008 said: Then you should start seeing them, I thought u didn't like them though? That comment was surprising to me since you have been the one helping me try to figure out why is hasn't been working lol. You are right, I don't like seeing them, but I also do like to know that it is working as intended. As far as I understand it, the game loads X amount of dinosaurs into the game when it starts up, and will not spawn anymore until a creature dies, thereby freeing up the slot. This is why, I believe, it can take a while for themed dinos to appear. You have to wait until there is a slot for the game to spawn a new creature in, and then it's not guaranteed to be a event themed dino. However, a wild dino wipe destroys every wild dino in the game, and so the game repopulates the map from scratch. This means you have a far greater chance of having event themed dinos appear.

The reasoning you gave is the exact reason why lol. Why go around killing 1 at a time and have a chance of one spawning when you can take them all out at once and have a percentage of them colored.

Esquire1980 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 This is the announcement from server.io on events..... So Ark no longer supports -ActiveEvent= (the command line option that lets you manually enable events).
