Prepare to meet the Dreadmare, a legendary creature of myth and shadow. This fearsome mount, found on Scorched Earth and The Center, grants you command over dark magic, draining the life of foes, weakening defenses, and even veiling allies in a shroud of darkness. Take flight on this ominous steed and wield its unique powers to turn the tide in your favor. Embrace the shadows... Dreadmare awaits.

I’d have thought an apex predator like T. Rex or Giganotosaurus would be the scariest thing on the ARK, until I first saw this vision from a heavy metal album cover spread its wings. Dreadmare can induce an acute threat response in literally anything. All the better to scare away other scavengers from the dead meat it’s drawn to.

Those wings can focus gusts to create pressure blasts at the point of impact. Dreadmare also has an uncanny way of disrupting a target’s healing abilities while boosting its own. And there’s no outnumbering this terror, since its dreadful aura seems to drain the will to live from everything around it.

You aren’t going to break this beast the usual way. The only way to gain a Dreadmare’s respect is by killing it a few times. Yes, you read that right -- you will need to respawn one to fight again and again until you prove yourself worthy. 

Once you’ve won its favor, your Dreadmare will reveal its greatest ability: to tuck another of your war-beasts into a pocket dimension for later access. Soon you’ll be riding into battle on a shadowy pegasus that can bring along surprise backup!

I'm thrilled to see the DodoRex and DodoWyvern return though, the bosses were my favorite part of the event. Hopefully this means we can get zombies without having to interact with Club Ark.

 

 

The animations look a bit awkward on the horse, looks a better than the lazy reskin that is pyromane though. Really hope they touch up the pyromane someday.

Great that the event is finally being delivered in the way it was meant to and kudos to Wildcard for taking the community's advice on this one, and I'm definitely excited about the thestral,

but can we talk about the new cosmetic menu they secretly snuck in without warning or community input?

I hate always having to say something negative, but it is remarkably unintuitive now, it was already bad before, but now it's just confusing, the whole menu-within-menu, within-a-tab stuff is crazy inaccessible, the old system with a simple drag and drop or equip onto the hotbar was all we needed, maybe add some folders to sort types at most was needed, who decided to complicate the crap out of it and add a stack of tabs and menus all over both sides of the screen?

While it is difficult enough to navigate on a 4k monitor, as an ultrawide monitor user the vast majority of the menus are hidden and need to be moved around and closed before the ones at the bottom can even be seen to exist at all.
similar issues exist for lower resolutions.

Whatever happen to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

From my point of view as a web developer, for me; this UI is an accessibility nightmare, fitting that it came out in the Halloween update.

Did they even bother to focus group test it first?

Aside from that, so far I'm super happy we got the event we wanted.

  • From the Main Menu, select the mod tab.
  • Search for Love Ascended in the ARK Mod list and Install it. Mod ID: 877752
  • After it's installed, go back to your game setup screen and select 'Mod Settings'
  • You will see Fear Ascended and any other mods you've downloaded in 'Available Mods'
  • Select Fear Ascended and activate it.

Pretty sure you mean search for Fear Ascended, not Love Ascended XD . Also I am really happy you listened, looking forward to playing around with the event once the update finishes XD .

 

Also about this New Event Store to unlock event cosmetics with ClubARK Tokens 

Does that mean that you can get the event cosmetics in club ark using tokens instead of crafting them, or does it mean that you can unlock them & they'll respawn in your cosmetics tab after death? If it's the first then I'm glad to see multiple ways to get the, if it's the latter that'll be something I would play club ark for.

Guys, trying to please everyone you ended up screwing another thing...

Center was always the safest map, for people that didnt want the fuss. Those that did, would go to Island to fight the Dodorex and come back with the zomdodos.

Now you just put it all in the same bucket, and lots of people are complaining they don't feel safe to do their own things (since that thing will destroy even tek, say bye bye to your babies).

I really love the new stuff, but some should remain as the old for a reason... :(

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad that you guys actualy did Fear Ascended properly!

Do you mean properley by locking everything behind club ark and destroying the entire event? Terrible x2 rates and can't even craft any chibis, just hid everything in their failure of a mini game within a game, no interest in actually delivering a good event, just interested in saving their terrible release or club ark.
