A win is a win. Alive to fight another day!

I decide to go for the beta dragon fight instead of skipping it. I figure I'll get the Tek Transmitter if we win, and it will help with locating allos and gigas for the tribute I'm missing to do alpha. So, why not? My theris and Boss are soon arranged around the terminal. And from my shoulder, Son of A, who recently became an ordained minister online, guides us through a prayer for good fortune. Afterward, I kick off the teleport, and he promptly hops off my shoulder and makes a beeline out of the shimmering dome. What a butthead . . . "Ride of the Valkyries" starts playing in the background. The teleport goes off, freezing time for a fraction of a second, and then we arrive in the inferno of the dragon's home. Thankfully, I remembered to down my soup and drink from my Tek Canteen before we ported, so I'm nice and cool. Locating my yuty, I clamber into the saddle and order the theris to move off as a large shadow slips over us. Looking up, I see the dragon soaring above. It doesn't appear that he's noticed us yet. It doesn't take long for him to notice, though. We're soon dodging fireballs that blast the empty landscape behind us, scorching the rocky ground. Constant motion becomes the name of the game. Eventually, a wave of dimorphs and pteranodons approaches, enveloping everyone in a swirling chaos of sharp talons and sharper beaks. Boss snatches a dimorph out of the air with his jaws, ends its life with a sickening crunch, and wolfs it down. I glance over and find the theris making short work of the others. That's when the overwhelming beat of massive wings drowns out everything else before the ground shudders. The dragon has landed. I order the theris to attack and move in with Boss to do courage roars. Unfortunately, when we approach from the side, the dragon quickly turns to breathe fire on us. Turns out, he really has it in for Boss and I. We circle around behind him, roar a couple of times, and he does a one-eighty before breathing again. He catches us a couple of other times as the fight rages on, and I eventually have to move Boss away because he's at a quarter health. We watch the rest of the battle from the sidelines, me cheering the theris on, and boss waving a sign that reads, "Go Team!" The damage output slows down when the last courage roar wears off, but my tickle chickens manage to defeat the dragon before he can take flight again. Even though the theris collectively munched down over a hundred cakes during the fight, they're still a bit banged up. So, I call Doc Bubbles after we port out, and he makes a house call. Healing Boss and them ends up costing me twelve hundred raw prime. Yeesh! Medical bills are expensive! Back at base, I make an S+ Tek Transmitter, and that's changed since I last had one on a server that auto-unlocked Tek for you. Now I have five set up, and I can see dino locations and their stats. Kind of cool! I think I'm going to level my theris a bit more before trying alpha, as I'd like their melee to be higher. Anyway, Happy Arking, All.

Version 4.2.1.0 now available. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kJsR2NSa_arKwjIjf5J93Xp1IFLksVNE/view?usp=sharing Features: Now reads original map filename from the .ark save file. This means that you can name the save anything you want and it will use the internal file information to determine correct map lat/lon calculations to use. @Larkfields any anybody else that has changed the maps.json will want to use my version again - the filenames in there should be the "original" ark save filename. Updated maps.json with co-ordinate calculation values provided by @Larkfields for Crystal Isles. Let me know if you continue to have problems with this new version please @CyberGameZone

Except the crux of the original issue here is people mewling at not having boosted rates every CC. Should actual game breaking issues be fixed? Absolutely; but you are in no way owed a nonessential asset. It isn't defending a company to point out that the alternative option that may have what you desire (this being higher rates) is exactly a mouse/controller scroll and maybe two button clicks away.

Lol are wildcard serious? This week's community crunch is dreadful. No evo event. Links to youtube videos of some dude accompanied by SWEET CAMERA STRAFES telling us what we've already seen on Lost Island, AND (my favourite), a video on how to trap a t-rex... 🤭 ... ...🤣🤦🏿‍♀️ Silly drawings. Some random dude's screenshot. Wildcard scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find something to post. Personally i think they shouldn't have even bothered. It's so bad.

Hi Mirage. The Crystal Isle coords seemed to be out a little bit. I've recalculated the figures for maps.json to be... { "MapName": "Crystal Isles", "Filename": "crystalisles.ark.ark", "ImageFile": "map_crystalisles.png", "LatShift": 48.687, "LatDiv": 15882.02, "LonShift": 49.9481, "LonDiv": 16988.76 } Spreadsheet is attached for reference.

Can we get some cheese with all this whine? Valentine's Day is right around the corner. sheesh.

I'm glad to see Carcharo being added without taking up the vote winner's position. I wanted Carcharo since it's among my favorite dinosaurs, but I didn't want it to win the vote entirely because it was by far the least unique option. It's nice to see that Wildcard is redeeming themselves and trying to please as much of the community as possible with this creature, and I really hope Carcharo can add something unique and interesting to finally let the creature's controversy die down. I'm also happy with Desmodus winning the vote. Overall this turned out way better than what happened with the Lost Island drama.

Atleast DO an EVO event ffs. It's like there isn''t even any thought that goes into these anymore

Not everyone got to play over xmas - some ppl have family commitments, was hoping for an evo event to start playing lost island - and I agree there shouldn't be any evo events tbh, it should be boosted all of the time, or very consistently over the weekends. Just makes ppl who miss those events not want to play, and those who do catch them just miss them when they don't come again for a while.

Why no Evo event and where is the Ark 2 news?

No evo event

No evo again.... -.- ... so sad...

Love all the additions and content. Keep up the great work! This is the only game ... (Other than MC) that I actually look forward to updates and read the dev's blogposts/ updates. BEYOND hyped for the dracula-esque bat, ive always had a softspot for onyxs and cave dwellers! The bison is still a creature I hope gets added eventually as farming is a department in ark that feels a little neglected. I want a little more automation (outside of exploits like a wandering the therizinosaurus and having 30 tek parasaurs breeding (so the eggs fall down, hatch, thero kills them and bam. Free tek) Can't wait for Comm Crunch 300 Feels like a special milestone Hope the team had a great weekend!
