  1. Oh, goodness. I saw the Leviathan dossier, and immediately thought of Disney's Atlantis for some reason. Could you imagine "wild" machines that prowl the island for you? O_O
  2. I always love watching the trailers and highlight reels. You guys definitely know how to advertise.
  3. Good gracious, it's like Halo, Iron Man, and Power Rangers all got together for a brainstorming session! I love it! Just goes to show, though, that I might need to wait a while before I continue my fan fiction. I wouldn't want to write a whole story with half the universe/lore/tech missing! O_O
  4. However, Scorched Earth does have cliffs, the other habitat location mentioned in the dossier. I'd bet these guys are native to SE as well.
  5. I'm a dragon fanatic. I love dragons. As a person who has very strong opinions on the differences in draconic species, I have to give loud a resounding round of applause to WildCard for simply making the distinction that the creatures in Scorched Earth are, in fact, ELEMENTAL WYVERNS. While wyverns don't traditionally have a "breath weapon", WC was very careful to specify that these creatures are using glands in their mouths to produce the breath effect that would normally be native to a dragon. This alone went a long way to convincing me to buy the DLC. I take my dragons (and draconic species) very seriously. <3 (By the way, does anyone remember how to get the dino request thread? I know they've probably settled on everything they want to release at this point, but I would still like to drop a name in the proverbial hat.)
  6. Scarcely have I seen such an eloquently-worded message on these forums. Not that I've been here all that long, myself. Still, you've made an excellent point, and even put some of my own thoughts into better words than I could. I, too, bought the DLC primarily because I suspected that WC might be in need of funds for continuing development. However, I will admit that despite my usual distaste for desert-themed maps and games (I prefer the lush green of a forest), this content has exceeded my expectations so far. The variety that WC has found for something so "lifeless" as a desert is impressive.
  7. Yes and no to that collar. Seems it's either temperamental, or you have to maintain it's loyalty somehow. Perhaps similarly to a Troodon?
  8. To those folks who like to complain every time a new creature/dossier is revealed or hinted: I understand that you want the bugs fixed. I understand there are issues with the game. I, too, have lost Quetzals to the "Disappearing Act of Doom" and have seen my creatures disappear at random. I've had game crashes, and disconnections, and I've been teleported above-ground from cave-systems because the game thought I was "stuck" underground. But you have to also understand that these reveals are just that: reveals. The devs "unveiling" this moth creature does not mean that they don't intend to fix the game. But consider this: What if they simply stopped showing us all this cool stuff? It's not as if they can't do both. In the video game-making process, optimization is actually one of the last things to occur. The fact that the game runs as well as it does now is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Wildcard team. AND they've been optimizing as they go. I'm not going to give you the "it's an alpha; just accept it" argument, because there are bugs that I would like to see fixed as well. (Such as the issue with audio on TheCenter not playing properly all the time; I can't bring myself to get invested in the Center map yet because the sound issue is immersion breaking - and thus game breaking - for me.) But complaining about it with a poor attitude and demanding that they fix it isn't the way to go. They're working on it; they'll fix it. But we have to be patient. Ark is going to be a truly robust and complex game when it's finished. But until then, take any issues you have to the Support Center. Or drop them in an approved thread that's tracking the bugs and issues with the game. Complaining and moaning here isn't helping anyone, because this isn't the place to get those comments seen. And to keep this comment on-topic for the thread: I wasn't expecting a moth-critter! It'll be interesting to find out exactly what it's extracting in that particular image; I admit, I'm curious!
  9. Well, I'm not sure I can, to be honest. I treat Ark like my own personal game of Pokemon and I collect all the dinos I really like. Ever since I was a kid, Allosaurus has been among my favorite dinos, and I love fliers, so Pelagornis is only another cherry on the cake for me. lol The one I'm *really* stoked for, though, is Baryonyx. That one has also been a favorite of mine for a long time. Just confused as to why it will be so small compared to Spinosaurus.
  10. Oh my goodness! Allosaurus and Pelagornis are among my most anticipated dinos! So glad they're upcoming!
  11. Love that the snow is getting some more space, but I'd love Hidden Lake to remain the lovely little oasis it is. Doesn't seem right that it should snow there.... (Still, thank you for giving us some warning!) Also, my friend is gonna be pretty ticked when his entire base on that Northern shore/plain ends up covered in fresh powder!

    Swamp Cave

    Aha! So the air *is* poisonous! I wondered if that was really the case, but these folks wearing SCUBA tanks seem to answer that question!
  13. So excited for the Swamp and Snow caves! I hear the swamp caves are "poisonous", or somehow deal damage over time. Now a reason to carry those medical brews with me! (Time to start specing my carry weight again!)
  14. Or if you're like me (terrified of the ocean at any depth), and refuse to go into the water. I actually keep multiple Dung Beetles around for oil because as beautiful as it is, the ocean is horrifying.
  15. These were great questions, guys! Some of this stuff I didn't even think I'd be interested in until you asked! Thanks for the answers as well, WC!
  16. And now that I look again, the second group in the upper right corner is actually the same positions, just mirrored and then placed in the opposite order. So it may just be drawings on a wall. Still, I'm interested in seeing those characters when I get home. Maybe try my hand at translating them!
  17. I'm at work, and thus cannot see the characters in question (this browser doesn't render them), but those who are guessing that the survivors are spelling something may be right. Look in the upper right corner: The first four of those survivors are in the same poses as the four who are inside the fence. Only other explanation is a copy/paste.
  18. Eh, we probably will later on. It takes a lot of work to optimize everything for console, and I'm honestly impressed that we get the new creatures as often as the PC users do. We'll get there, just gotta be patient. (I'm super excited for SoTF gameplay, myself!)
  19. Me. The answer to your question is me.
  20. That looks amazing! Specifically, I can't wait to get a look at the front of that helmet! There will be FAN ART!
  21. That guy looks like my kinda pet! (Other than Spinos and Baryonyxes of course!) The music rules! Who's your composer?
  22. No complaints from me! You guys work super hard and give us all kinds of yummy teasers and updates! I'll just sit back and patiently await my favorite dinos.
  23. I've already made a couple of comments but I wanted to make one more: Your artists are incredibly talented! The varied art styles are absolutely amazing; please pass my compliments to the team!
  24. I'm loving the idea of new lore! It'll give me a better foundation on which to build my fan fiction, which, as non-canon as it will be, can still be accurate to the game. I think you guys will like it.
  25. Well done! Makes sense in the context of Ark, too! I'm no Chinese linguist, but I *am* a Persian linguist and I recognize a true trans when I see one. I wonder if any will come up that I can translate...?
