  1. The Center was delayed indefinitely So we don't have a release date right now
  2. You know what, I'm alright with this (a release on an Easter Holiday would be weird anyway) As a matter of fact, April 1st was a planned release date for SE, just realized 😐 Can't wait for the desert, (Fasola looking great!) Oh and PS: ARK ISN'T DEAD (The Toxicity is getting ridiculous)
  3. If Scorched is coming on March 31st, that would be really great, keep our fingers crossed 🤞 BTW, the Oasisaur is FREAKING HUGE!!!
  4. Yeah, agreed Don't make any sense for something so well worked on to be called "woke" in the first place
  5. -> https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Tek_Binoculars_(Survival_Ascended) <- They are a real item in the game, click on the link above for more info.
  6. It's not the news we were expecting, but Western for Scorched Earth, steampunk for Aberration, Madmax/apocalypse for Extinction. I guess I'm all in for it.
  7. Yeah, agreed. Let's just hope that the Gigantoraptor is a worthwhile tame.
  8. This is from what I heard about single-player saves, Hope this helps.
  9. Dossier: Common Name: Ophiderpeton Species: Ophiderpeton crystalis Time: Early Carboniferous Diet: Carnivore/Mineral Eater Temperament: Evasive Wild: You may think that Ophiderpeton is just another snake, it's actually a very cute amphibian. Ophiderpeton crystalis is not only a carnivore, but also a crystal eater. Though it's special hard yet small teeth, it is able grind into any type of crystal into tiny little chunks and devour them. I don't really know how this aistopod was able obtain such an unusual evolution, one theory I have is that the fact it could've been exposed to small qualities of Element form an aera in the north-east of the isles. That could explain the small scale-like crystals on it's sides and forehead. Domesticated: After I managed to tame one of these cute little critters, I feed it a small crystal to while it was on my shoulder to understand how the grinding process works. But something very unexpected then happed. I don't know how to explain it, but after my Ophiderpeton ate the crystal, I suddenly felt very adrenalized! I felt stronger, faster, and better! After a few short minutes, the effect wearied off. This adrenaline effect appears to be a result of the Ophiderpeton eating any kind crystalline substance and convert into some sort of adrenaline like-energy. I need to do some more research into this. Size: Has similar size to the Otter Behavior: Ophiderpeton will attempt to avoid danger and flee when attacked by larger life forms (including us humans) Habitat: Ophiderpeton will primarily spawn on land and water environments in the White Shoals, the Tropics, and very rarely, the Eldritch Isles of Crystal Isles. Abilities: Stats: Health: 40 Stamina: 180 Oxygen: Lacks this stat Food: 100 Weight: 40 Melee Damage: 100 Taming: Q&A: What Is Ophiderpeton in Real Life???: Ophiderpeton (from Greek: ὄφῐς óphis, 'snake' and Greek: ἑρπετόν herpetón 'creeper') is an extinct genus of aistopod tetrapodomorphs from the early Carboniferous to the early Permian. Remains of this genus are widespread and were found in Ohio, United States, Ireland, and the Czech Republic (Central Europe). Like other aistopods, Ophiderpeton was snake-like, without any trace of limbs. Its body was about 70 centimetres (28 in) long, with 230 vertebrae. The skull measured 15 millimetres (0.59 in), and large, forward-facing eyes, suggesting a hunting lifestyle. It probably lived in burrows, feeding on insects, worms, millipedes, and snails. Many species are classified in the genus, and similar animals, Phlegethontia and Sillerpeton, are known. An earlier genus, Lethiscus, is known from the Carboniferous and Early Permian. Why did you make Ophiderpeton a shoulder pet???: I honestly think that its definitely time for a shoulder pet, I mean, all the other Community Vote Winners are rideable. Think we need a break from that.
  10. Farewell Evolved, you changed your lives forever. You may be gone, but you will always be in your hearts. PS: DAMN!!! That Shasta sub saddle looks so sick! Getting twenty leagues under the sea vibes just from looking at this. Also PS: Looks like voting might be on break, my giant swan (Cygnus Falconeri) will have to wait... But that's okay I can wait.
  11. Dossier: Common Name: Cygnus Species: Cygnus Falconeri Time: Middle Pleistocene Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Territorial Wild: I've seen swans at the park before I found myself in the Ark, but when it comes to Cygnus Falconeri, it's a whole different story. Despite its beautiful appearance, this thing is a literal angry bird. Cygnus is very territorial around every living creature in it's environment, If an intimidating territorial display is not enough to convince the threat to retreat, a full-scale attack may follow, both in the land and water. Instead of resorting to biting however, this giant bird uses it's wings in the most unusual way. Believe it or not, Cygnus has developed a dance like-fighting style similar to capoeira, by using it's wings, Heck, I've seen this thing even being able to dodge the fastest predators in the Ark when they attack! I honestly don't understand how Cygnus Falconeri developed this kind trait, by mimicking other survivors? Sigh... as of right now, I don't have a scientific explanation for this. Domesticated: From what I've heard from other survivors, some people have managed to quietly feed this giant swan by wearing a ghillie suit, but then that's were things start become problematic. After a survivor feed it, the swan immediately did a 120 degree angle dodge and was now behind him, and when the survivor turned around to see, he barely lived to tell the tale. For anyone that manages to tame a Cygnus Falconeri, it's unqiue fighting style can become a pain in the butt for enemy tribes and small and medium sized wild creatures, especially with it's dodging becoming annoying. With very high stamina for traveling and being able to fight above water, they will be able to have a special mount for the land, sky, and sea. Behavior: Cygnus Falconeri is very territorial bird, they will stay nearby at a certain location. If you or any small predator and prey enter their area or get too close to it, Cygnus would then use it's dancing fighting style to attack any small livening thing that trespassed into it's territory. If any intruders try to make escape, Cygnus will then perform it's dodge to block anyone's way before continuing it's attack. Size: Similar to the Argentaivs. Habitat: Cygnus will primarily spawn at The Lake in Valguero. With there being a large body of water in the center of the map and with Cygnus being a giant swan, it makes the perfect environment for Cygnus Falconeri. Cygnus can also be found at the shorelines of the Boreal Forest, Tundra, and the White Cliffs. Abilities: Hack and Slash For it's basic and primary attack; Cygnus will use it's wings to attack in a dance-like fighting style. Think of it similar to Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art and game that includes elements of dance, acrobatics, music and spirituality. I also used Aknosom from Monster Hunter Rise as example as it has a fighting style using it's wings and legs. < As shown here Much like the Shadowmane, Cygnus will have a a combo bar that builds up whenever a hit is successfully landed on a creature, decaying over time if not landing any blows. When the bar is fully charged up, Cygnus will be able to perform one of three combos: Combo 1: Spin Attack + Cygnus will perform a spinning attack by spreading it's wings and then spin around like a helicopter, this cause's the gnashed effect. Combo 2: Somersault Kick + R Cygnus will perform a somersault to then deliver a powerful kick that will cause knockback to enemy survivors and smaller creatures that are hit Combo: 3: Counter Jab + C Cygnus will use it's wings to form a blocking stance, this one is not easy to pull off however. When your in this stance, you must wait for the right moment for the enemy to strike, when it does, Cygnus will perform a jab that causes a temporally stun effect to other survivors, small and medium creatures. It can also be used as a of escape when in dire situations. Be wary when using this combo, the blocking stance will only last 10 seconds. Also the counter will only work with physical attacks, not with gun shots, poison gas, or even ice or fire breath. So be careful! Dodging Unlike other flying birds in Ark, Cygnus is fully capable of jumping by just checking the jump button. (To fly, just simply hold the jump button) Cygnus can also run. As said earlier, Cygnus is able to fully dodge. To dodge, press the spacebar, then while doing so press any of the movement keys or in simples terms: Space + W or S It's very useful to avoid damage and making great getaways (EX: When having deal with a Giga or escape when your low on health) Above Water If your worried that when close to water when your on Cygnus, you think you will fall off your creature like other flying creatures, NOPE, not Cygnus. Much like Pelagornis, Cygnus is able to safely land on water and becomes a fast swimmer by paddling just like modern swans. As an added bonus, Cygnus can perform it's attacks, combos, and dodging above water. Also, while not moving, Cygnus will be able to regain it's stamina while above water as well. While Cygnus can't dive underwater, it's still a good aquatic mount above water Flying Being a bird of course, Cygnus will be able fly by holding the spacebar as said earlier (jumping by just checking the jump button once) Cygnus will only attack by biting while flying, so can't use your wing attacks or do your combos, but that doesn't mean you still can't dodge. In a very similar way to Pteranodon, Cygnus will perform an aileron roll, just press the crouch-key while flying. This gives a short speed boost and dodge in the process, but also depletes more stamina. Another down side for Cygnus while flying is that it doesn't have the ability to pick up creatures or other players due to their wedded feet. However, as an up side, Cygnus's flying style is similar to the Snow Owl, meaning it can dive straight down and gain an extreme increase in speed whilst diving. (Note: The real-world Cygnus Falconeri may have been flightless due to it's size, however since this is Ark (which is of course of video game), I give Cygnus the ability to fly. So why not?) (Another Note: Cygnus will throw you off their back if you're flying over lava. Be careful!) High Stamina Cygnus Falconeri has very high stamina, allowing it travel to very far places. Stats: Health: 370 Stamina: 800 Oxygen: 700 Food: 1800 Weight: 130 Movement Speed: 100% Melee Damage: 45 Taming: Taming Cygnus Falconeri is a bit similar to the Gigantopithecus, but much more annoying. When quietly feed, Cygnus Falconeri becomes suspicious on who feed it, literally it does. After performing it's dodge, Cygnus would then stare at the thing in question; YOU. My advice when this happens, don't move, I repeat, DON"T MOVE. Apparently Cygnus has had experience with dealing with people in ghillie suits. After you hold for an amount of time, Cygnus Falconeri will deliver a honk meaning "All clear!" thinking it's just a bush and with that you can continue the process. However, when halfway done. Cygnus will become even more suspicious and make to what I call a "false" honk in an attempt to draw you out, don't fall for this, cause once you move it's game over. Continue with this repetitive process, and you'll have you self a giant fighting swan. Q&A: What Is Cygnus Falconeri in Real Life???: Cygnus Falconeri, or the Giant Swan, (Maltese: Ċinju ġgant) is an extinct, very large swan known from Middle Pleistocene-aged deposits from Malta and Sicily. Its dimensions are described as exceeding those of the living mute swan by one-third, which would give a bill-to-tail length of about 190–210 cm (75–83 in) (based on 145–160 cm for C. olor). By comparison to the bones of living swans, it can be estimated that it weighed around 16 kg (35 lb) and had a wingspan of about 3 m (9.8 ft). It would have been taller, though not heavier, than the region's dwarf elephants. Due to its size, it may have been flightless. It became extinct before the increase in human activity in the region (see Holocene extinction event), so its disappearance is thought to have resulted from extreme climate fluctuations or the arrival of predators and superior competitors. Its bones are exhibited at Għar Dalam museum in Birżebbuġa, Malta. Why did you choose Cygnus Falconeri???: I honestly was a bit fascinated by this creature when I first saw it on the internet, but I to be honest, I'm not too sure why I choose it in the first place... I went with my gut I guess? Thanks for reading!!!
  12. I know they said it would be the final time, but I've seen multiple authors using Gorgonops in past votes Here's proof:
