Adding a powerful creature again can severely impact the balance end experience. Having this spider as a moderate creature, small enough to be used easily on Aberration, is a good point. As you said, ravagers are useful while not being a game changer. No need to introduce a game changer in the game, just a fun and original creature is enough Agree 💯💯💯. We don't need another game changer. The previous three votes WERE game changers as far as I know. The rhyniognatha (warlike bug) and gigantoraptor (new babysitter) are definite game changers.

It really is silly that they relate ours just because it has extra legs and such, just because we have one of one certain type of creature doesn't necessarily mean that others shouldn't have the chance to be implemented as well, the voting event was never about 'we have 30 mammals, 30 insects, 29 birds so we need a bird not xxxxx, it's about what people love the most and want to see make it to the game!

Abilities barely matter in these votes so people should be voting on how well this dinosaur fits into the map. This spider looks good, very good art. But i've barely seen anyone using small creatures in ark, other votes seem better fitting. I am 100% sure that if this wins, people are gonna tame it and barely use it again. Thats the case for almost every small creature. Thank you! I will say that this spider could climb vertically where others cannot. It has webs, zip-line making capability, net projectile capability, and was an intended tamer, which people could make breeding lines of and specialize it for! Ark is in dire need of a really good taming helper, these guys jump so fast / lock on so quickly that they could latch onto a managarmr mid jump, the traits do matter actually, because some of them do get implimented sometimes, but not to the extent of relying on it for sure! The thing with smaller creatures is, it's a mind-set, particular people will enjoy their breeding lines of rexes, gigas and rockdrakes, where they will use whatever else and leave it to rot, meanwhile there are plenty of other people who play this game that actually adore breeding the unfavored creatures and the smaller ones, and this alone cannot be dismissed. It's completely fair to dislike it but please try to consider that some abilities do make it to the game, and to dismiss them is an unfair judgement overall ❤️ I was relying in heart of this idea so that it would not crush the potential Araneos have, the potential TLC which could make Araneos absolutely terrifying, use their webs to kill while the Jumping spider would rather have its webs as more of a utility means! I know that WC would pick and choose what's what, but I do truly hope they would stick with at least a bit of the direction it was intended for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the case for almost every small creature. Creatures in Ark can be used on all maps so this is better to think how the proposed creature can improve the overall experience of Ark and not only one map. Also, Aberration is a particular map with no flyer and narrow ways. I don't really see a big creature on this map. About how much people will use the creature, that's the reason of the vote for me. If the players choose the creature they want, they will mostly play with it. 39 minutes ago, bestnameinworld said: sounds like a very good idea. But as i said before mechanics barely matter in votes.

And knowing them, their idea will never be as good as the suggester's idea so people should vote on how helpful do you think WC will make it and how well it fits in abberation. It depends. WC can make the creature very close to the original concept if they want. The desmodus and fasolasuchus are very close to the submission both in design and abilities. If the original concept is balanced, WC will certainly make less changes. So moderate submissions are more reliable somehow than super badass submissions.

My submission here is a jumping spider species that is said to have lived once between 23 and 15 million years ago, and the excitement of that discovery led to its last name, eureka! I genuinely hope to see Maevia eureka find its way to Ark some day, any support for it is infinitely appreciated, please take a moment to toss it a vote if you would like to see it around in Ark! These are my thoughts on how Maevia eureka could fit into the world we play in, in a way that reflects real life jumping spiders combined with genetic modifications from other spiders, and how they might fit into Ark in a fun and meaningful way that reflects other creatures of Ark and how important each and every one of these creatures is. I felt that, as Maevia is more of a taming companion, this gives us a different way to tame creatures using a non-harmful method! As it is in Aberration, there are many risks you take while engaging with your targets due to the fact that aberration can be quite chaotic so having to be weary of your surroundings at all times is one thing, but the larger the creature, the weaker the bola... You may find yourself having to maneuver around an area and keep your targets attention while allowing for your jumper to gather enough venom to ensnare it once again. 🏞️Habitat This is a creature that is capable of being added to any map in the game due to its likeliness of living in caves, but also as jumping spiders can be found in so many different environments, there particularly are no limits to where they could be found! 🕷️Ability - Prey Lure You're out roaming around on your two equus when one of them begins to pick up an irresistible scent coming from a nearby cave wall. Your equus is nibbling on a suspended droplet when you notice the faint glinting coming off the web it's attached to, within an instant a jumper has lunged at your equus covering it with its bola and is quickly wrapping it up in its webbing, but in order to free your companion you need to tear at the webbing, as a few good hits will send that jumper scurrying up the wall to hide! 🕷️Ability - Tranq Bola The thought is that jumpers could take the droplets they store and work them into their webbing to create venom-coated webs that could be thrown like a bola. The webs would have a tranquilizing effect whenever touched, thus causing their target to build up torpor and eventually go unconscious. 🕷️Ability - Latching As a jumping spider, they have outstanding agility and the ability to crawl on walls, but at a more rapid pace, maybe even with the cost of stamina drain for balance! An optional thing I had given thought to was the ability to fully latch onto smaller prey in order to accurately cover the target with their readied net. 🕷️Ability - Locking On This is the single feature that would make this creature so invaluable, and even possibly make it require a very difficult feat for taming it due to that power, as with the spiders extreme accuracy, it could 'lock onto' a target, and the net cast would be immediate, rendering even jumping managarmrs unable to jump, though I do feel that stamina might be a way to balance this out! 🕷️Trait - Scary Face This spider was designed in thought with evolving to be able to terrify larger than normal predators, making it an incredibly useful tame for bases, keeping your creatures better protected when having to move them around the map, I imagined it could come with an extra ability to raise its back legs with its abdomen to stay in this stance on the ground, or you could enable an option within the radial menu allowing it to find and hang down from a nearby pole, perhaps even a new item for the spiders and flyers alike, akin to a perch? 🕷️Trait/Ability - Dance! Jumping spiders in the real world have very little differentiation on sizes between male and female. The idea was that the males would be the ones that allow you to get close enough to tame them, while females will try to kill you if you do this, and when you find a male companion, he has the ability to dance when you find a female, you can engage in this dance, maybe a left/right/up/down type of button combination you have to get right in order for her to find your boy worthy of her prescence, and in the meantime you can shower her with presents of food until she wants your boy to dance for her again, gradually gaining her trust. When a movement is not corrected quickly enough, she would become hostile and attack, and you may have to wait for her to cool off before you can attempt this ritual again! 🕯️Dossier!🕯️ If there's one thing I can say about Maevia eureka, you do not want to be caught in its sights! I once witnessed a jumper locking onto its prey with the most incredible accuracy, lunging at it with lightning speed and within the blink of an eye, its prey was being saved as a snack for later. They seem to have the genes of a few other spiders like that of the ogre spider, as it can cast a gathering of its webbing along with a little dab of the venom droplet it keeps stored on its head, working that into its web to create paralytic bolas that seem to render its prey unconscious. I have reason to believe the hairs that grow on its back legs came from the peacock spider, but due to its need for protection, it also uses these 'feathers' as a menacing face that can scare off large predators, I've seen some tribes set up posts that they can hang from around the fronts of their bases. I will say one thing is for certain, though they are nearly the size of a dire bear, they are quite the cuties, especially for being a spider, there is a certain intelligence you can see when you look into their eyes, I just can't place it, but they truly make remarkable companions with the ability to rapidly scale walls, caves, cliffsides and such. By no means are they a beast of burden, however they make up for this with their abilities to constrict or assassinate their targets. Maevia eureka can take down much larger prey with its torpor inducing bola, the net cast, and this makes them remarkable allies for taming other creatures. Though I haven't been able to get close enough to befriend one of the females, the males don't seem to mind me being in a remote vicinity with them as much. I wanted to add some other suggestions in a simplified form, key points from what Ark allies have mentioned before! - Droplets could be used as a nameless venom alternative, slower to produce but useful in situations or great when you have a plethora of jumpers. - Alternative where the male is small, female is massive, male used as a shoulder buddy that has major utility such as making ziplines, grapple, and large bola, where female is the tamer albeit slow with a few things to keep the balance. - Gacha coccoons, small creatures could be snatched and turned into coccoons, hung up and could produce goodies or other useful materials. - Radial menu where production, torpor, and other things could be enhanced, as well as weight of creatures depending on torpor percentage, for how small/medium/large the taming capability could be for jumpers. - Torpor resistance due to thick fur/hairs.
