Wildcard Admin StudioWildcard Posted March 1 Wildcard Admin Share Posted March 1 Survival takes a sharp turn this week as the community-voted winner sinks its claws into the spotlight! With its lightning speed and razor-sharp instincts, this prehistoric predator is set to shake up the ARK in ways we can’t wait to dive into! Meanwhile, on the LiveOps front, we’ve been kept on our toes. We’ll break it all down, along with the steps we’re taking to keep things running as smoothly as possible. With over 32k votes, Megaraptor will be the new creature added to Valguero for ARK: Survival Ascended. We are looking forward to sharing its concept and dossier in the weeks to come! If you are interested in seeing exactly how the voting went, check it out here. * Note that we'll be reading through these threads and using them as inspiration for how the creature will be designed; aspects suggested may change. Not loading? Click here Powered by RankedVote Our hosting providers are facing a severe, ongoing DDoS attack, which has caused recent outages, including those over the past 48 hours. We're actively working with our partners to mitigate the issue, but as with these types of attacks, we don’t yet have an estimated resolution. While our partners work on it, we've taken steps to protect player progress: Increased the upload timer to 72 hours (and we’ll extend it further if needed). Temporarily disabled decay timers to prevent loss of player progress. Taken certain regions offline to protect player data when necessary. Extending the time on Expire Servers to give everyone a chance to retrieve their characters and items. Once things are more stable, we’ll announce a date—don’t worry, you’ll get plenty of notice. We're closely monitoring mitigation efforts with our partners, but please keep in mind that the situation may continue to evolve. We’ll be holding on running an EVO event this week in light of the instability–we’ll look to do something nice for players in that regard when this is all resolved.

ladyteruki Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Congrats to the Megaraptor ! Although this is a confirmation that I clearly don't like what the majority of ARK players seem to like XD Could you warn us in advance for the next creature vote (Genesis 1, I'm assuming ?), the same way we had a heads up several weeks before Valguero's submission round ? That was a practice that deserves to be standardized. Good luck to everyone facing the DDOS attacks ; I never understand what the people causing this are expecting from it. Edited March 1 by ladyteruki Actually I don't know for sure what map that's gonna be 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speikobrarote Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 The Tany would have been such a good choice.. fixing a horrible fishing game and more but no.. just another carnivore it is. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyranntX Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Oh goodie, another carnivore we don't need 🙄 WC, please ban carnivores from all future votes if you want my respect back 11 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrmecoleon Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Cheetah got second again, disappointing. Really hope we can get it as an add-on like Carcha, Cosmo, Bison, etc. eventually. An annoying theropod really didn't deserve the win here. 25 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyGent Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 UE5.5? So silent. 5.4 was initially promised for September 2024 then January then March... What will it be this time? Summer? I guess a year delay is nothing shameful for WC for something that actually matters to the game? I look forward to the next delay announcement. We need better performance and optimizations! We do not need more pay to win creatures or other fluff no one really asked for before the game is actually properly playable. First fix your base game foundations please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so disappointed, it was our last chance... 3 minutes ago, Speikobrarote said: The Tany would have been such a good choice.. fixing a horrible fishing game and more but no.. just another carnivore it is. The Tany was so cool ! And the submission made it look fun and gorgeous at the same time. Plus, if you want jumpscares, we already have the Purlovia and we all know how much that creature is liked... I just don't get people. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I'm fairly certain that whatever creature I deem worthy of being ranked 10th will win the final vote XD 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfger Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I want to keep an open mind, but from the dossier at least the rest of the creatures sounded like they would make some aspect of the game easier/more fun, where as this one seemed like it would make it harder/less fun. I guess most people wanted the game to be harder? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulborb87 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Did we really need ANOTHER theropod carnivore in this game? we already have 17 of them, counting the upcoming from ARK Additions that brings it up to 20...we don't need any more of these things 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBManos Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Welp, I'm a bit disappointed that Megaraptor won, but I'm all alright with it in the end. It could be a better Megalosaurus... Not an actual raptor, by the way; it's a theropod dinosaur, looked it up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCashWereFox Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 The worst thing about it is the fact that valguero already have deino as a unique map dino , it's so stupid to even think about putting another of that sort , honnestly i'm starting to think the votes are rigged , there is no way that people are so stupid . 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloBruce Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 We're all so pleased with your hosting providers. No issues here at all. Even when the servers are up, they're trash. You've got serious issues with your long game. You're looking in too many directions - maps that are 35% complete, new creatures from a fan vote, power ranger crap for kids. What your community wants is a functional game with servers that perform. Prioritize getting your house in order. Look there, and nowhere else, until the issues are resolved. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll just clog up places later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe in the "rigged !" conspiracy theories (if WildCard was rigging the votes, they would never have elected the Shasta for The Center imho), but I do think it's worth talking about why the Community Voted creatures, although they're supposed to be popular, so rarely are when they win, and are often barely used past the point of novelty when they're first released. I see the Gigantoraptor being used in the long term ; the others, really not as much. This has less to do with the way these creatures are made (some conform pretty nicely to the original pitch, even if their appearance is modified), and more with the voting system. Starting with the fact that only a few hundred people seem to decide who gets into the Top10... maybe the votes should happen WITHIN the game, to encourage participation from a wider part of the playerbase ? Or at least let the submissions appear in gallery view for easy browsing. Something. EDIT : 3 minutes ago, OverRannus said: Agreed, if it doesn’t now. It’ll just clog up places later. It won't clog anything, Shockal said it was the Acinonyx' last ever submission. Edited March 1 by ladyteruki 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
