How does the baby thing work? it says that ur gigantoraptor can take babies for your own, is it for pvp or will there be baby dinos around the map? The dino looks really good, it would be nice if it worked like rexes as boss killers.

There will be wild babies spawning on the map.

Yes there will be unofficial servers otherwise mods would be pretty pointless, particularly PvP ones as they'd have no use in single player.

There will be some mods available at launch, but how many and what ones are unknown.

We Plan to come back for Extinction and both Genesis Maps if it doesn't win, if all else fails we plan to make it a mod

Don't forget there are 5 more community maps too.

what date exactly is the last day of the official servers?

30th September.

It displays normally for me.

You do realise that as of 30th September ALL official servers will shutdown for good on ARK Survival Evolved?

Not sure yet, but I don't believe it's going to be an egg steal because it says this "Survivors bolder than me were able to sneak into nests to win the trust of their young"

So I believe you will have to interact with the baby Gigantoraptors.

Yes it will be fully crossplay.

Man Im kind of mad this one I never saw online for like any community mentioning voting ever even mention this creature

You should read the Community Crunch every weekend, that basically covers all stuff like this, then you'd mostly be in the know.

Is it known when this voting will end, because I did not see any dates and links in the announcements.

Voting ends on Monday 24th July with the result in Friday's Crunch.

Generally the earlier you get your submission in the better it will do, but whether you have a following will also help. It's not just youtubers that promote creatures though, people share their submissions on social media like Twitter, Discord, Facebook etc.

If people submit a creature on the forum and do no promotion whatsoever then it is likely not going to get very far unless it is insanely good.

I need 6 to vote lol I want the land octo

You don't need 6 posts to vote, that is only for the submission stage.

You can now vote in the final round here: https://app.rankedvote.co/rv/asa-aberration-creature/vote

Not now you don't, that's only for the submission stage. Anyone can vote now as the voting is not done on the website.

Im curious why Wildcard doesnt post the vote on steam... like they only post it on twitter or what? Not everyone, believe it or not, uses twitter these days. Anyway, I have a sad feeling first place here wont translate to first place on.. twitter and the vote can be rigged by bots and all that jazz. Sigh It was nice to see it win for once tho.

It does get posted on Steam as it is in the Community Crunch that gets posted on the official forum and the Steam forum, but it won't be until Friday.

The issue with the voting is the dates it commences/ends, which is done oddly. The suggestions begin with the Crunch on Friday, but ends a week on Monday and the final voting starts immediately after. Which means the prior Crunch has already been posted and then next one is 4 days away, which is also only 3 days before the voting finishes.

I'm not sure why they do it like that and why they don't create a separate post on the forum to announce the final vote.

Also, assuming they get it working again, there is a Twitter widget on the front page of this website that will show the latest Tweets from the ARK account. Non-Twitter users can always keep an eye on that from here.

Is there any other way to vote on the top ten creatures other than just waiting for the community crunch to come out?

Please note that this creature will be released for Aberration, so make sure your real-world submissions are in theme with that map! As previously stated, we’ll add an additional real-world creature for each expansion pack map release on ARK: Survival Ascended. (i may be reading this wrong but it sorta sounds like we are getting a community vote critter and another from wildcard for abberation? i mean does that mean that or its just one critter per map that is the community voted creature i am meaning)

It's ONE new community voted creature per map.

usually not at all, they start on saturdays

No they don't they usually start on Friday's several hours before the Crunch comes out. Unless of course you live over in the Oceania region.

PGM's are no longer a thing for ARK as per the roadmap for ASA.

There's been no confirmation whether cryopods will be included at launch yet.

Also, this only counts as replying to a post and not actually posting your own stuff, right?

Replying and creating threads count, but not in off-topic section.

hmmm it is good that you clarify the price but we still do not know if  will charge the new dlc. 

The new DLC will be a seperate product so you will have to pay for that. The $39.99 is only for previously released DLCs.

Quick question: How do I view the info on Gigantoraptor regalimaia? It says I don't have permission to view the topic?

 

 

You can't because those topics are now all hidden in preparation for the next creature vote.

You've got to wait until Wildcard reveal their version of the Gigantoraptor.

$40 for EARLY ACCESS. What a cash grab. We're paying you again to test your remaster.. mmmmm. Ridiculous. 
$20 for early access or bust. You won't be seeing a dime from me for this sell out. 

Lower your price and get twice the sales you would have with this china prices you currently have. The end result is what you want anyways.

$40 for base game +5 DLCs is a pretty decent price.
