Oh hello, Maevia Eureka. Fancy meeting you here... in shoulder pet form ? I'm a bit confused by the term "Cosmo" which seems to imply that it's a character name, not a species name. Is it not a tame like the Oasisaur, it's a companion more similar to HLNA ? Intriguing.

Don't worry, I think I can speak for everyone when I say that noone expected Aberration to be released in July. It doesn't help your reputation about delays, but other than that, no big deal. I think overall WildCard just needs to learn how to announce dates that are more reasonable and in line with the work that actually is already done. Anyway, looking forward to seeing which will be the next ARK Additions creature in the meantime. Well I know that's a lie XD I wonder what you were waiting on before publishing this post. This is pure brilliance !

Thank you for this laugh ! It's wonderful to know that players are heard... but listening to feedback only when it's mostly positive is meaningless if you don't equally listen and show interest when it's mostly negative. We're not seeing you taking many suggestions into account then, are we ?

God, can you imagine ? They would have postponed The Center's release just to announce a new (even if smaller) map right afterwards ? I would laugh SO HARD.

I don't even really understand what that Club is. Is it a neutral community structure you can place on a server ? Do we really need to keep inventing new things all the time, thus splitting the dev team even further between tasks ? This will never not make me emotional.

Haha, well, I can guarantee you that there are people who love The Center. I mean not as many as Ragnarok, for sure, but it has its fanbase. And seeing it blossom into an updated, gorgeous map is one of the things I look forward to the most about ASA's entire trajectory as we currently know it ! I can't wait to see what new "gameplay" (if any) is going to come with it, or simply how gorgeous its famous pillars will look. Fingers crossed that The Center's center has some interesting things to see or do, now ! It IS important. Fingers crossed that this sentence ages well in the upcoming days. Why do you make people use a secondary platform (that not everyone is active on), when you have a perfectly suitable and integrable way to do polls on the official website, as seen with the creature votes ? It'd been a while since I last loved an ARK fanart as much as this one.

It's of course slightly disappointing that the result is so different from the reason why we voted for this creature, but I don't mind all that much that the submarine section is under its belly. It looks a bit weird because of how it's attached, however. I think you did a great job at explaining why this creature ends up being the way it is, and you should absolutely do that more often, especially whenever votes are involved (looking at you, Yi Ling). This is the kind of post that shows your commitment to trying to make things work within the limitations of the engine (and/or of the team), and that passion makes it easier to forget almost any kind of disappointment. This kind of post is what I wish you wrote more often, not even necessarily about new creatures, in that it assumes that we're smart enough to understand the nuance of what you explain, while still showing that you were up for the challenge and really wanted this to work. And I don't think I'm the only one in this, I'm seeing a lot of positive response to it. We want to see behind the scenes, peek behind the curtain and feel your passion for the game, instead of only being told things relevant to a new release, and then going back to silence. Explain to us why you make the choices that you make. Explain to us the work that goes into it. Share with us about your work to let us feel your passion. This is absolutely the way. The incomparable GP has a great video about it I don't know about that entirely, because they also change the design of the creature sometimes XD See also : Yi Qi/Yi Ling.

It's so weird to tease something on social media (on platforms where not everyone is...) and be completely silent about it a few hours later, on your official website in the weekly appointment you have with the community. This Shasta art is pretty cool, though, not gonna lie Always happy to see Bemo featured in the Community Crunch As for LolsAtLance, it's just a brilliant build ! The community is lucky to have that whole new crop of builders who bring their creativity and enthusiasm to ASA.

It's amazing that Garuga's creatures are set to slowly join ASA. He's been so consistently amazing with his creations that I'll go as far as to call it overdue. I never understood why only modded maps had the privilege of becoming basegame in ASE, for starters. Plus, it's a fantastic way to release content more regularly. I'm looking forward to learning how and where the Cerato will spawn ; it's not my favorite ARK Additions creature but the implementation will be interesting to see, and will tell us about the implementation of future ARK Additions creatures. That actually sounds good. We'll see how the mod devs handle this new flexibility, since it's entirely down to them now.

...In case you missed it, this week Paramount+ released this video related to ARK: The Animated Series : You make it sound like it's the TLC this map deserves. (I personally hadn't realized it had a Tolkien feel the first time, so clearly it's needed in more ways than one)

Oh cool, some behind the scenes for the ARK: The Animated Series ! I feel heard, it almost comes as a shock ! Moar ! (along with a predictable delay)

I wish you gave us some behind-the-scenes content about the animated series. An interview about the writing decisions, or showing some scenes being animated, or... it already feels like it's old news to you. It was yesterday. Glad that you see it and clarify things. More of that, more often.

It's insane to me that you release empty Community Crunches like this, when it would cost nothing to write about an upcoming patch like the one you just released a few days later. You'd buy goodwill from your playerbase for free. Even if you weren't sure of when this patch would be released, at least mentioning a few things that were being worked on would have been better than THIS. You just added a customization option and it's hidden in the patch notes on a Monday, while your Community Crunch, your one weekly appointment with the players on Fridays, doesn't even mention it being worked on ? It's like you love being badmouthed by the community. Why are you always communicating in the worst possible way with your customers ? Whoever makes those decisions must be aware of the discontent this creates for no good reason. If not, they need to stop making decisions.

Have a good weekend, everyone. You need it

Thanks for explaining, I wasn't aware how it worked. Ok if it's a paint, it's not so bad. I still don't like the idea of things installing without my saying so just because I'm flying near a base or running into someone (like, some countries have laws about specific imagery that is illegal to be in possession of... when stuff wasn't downloading on my computer, the laws of my country didn't apply to other people's bases, but now they kinda do). But it's not as bad as loading actual skins, as long as they're temporary files and not just piling up in a folder just because I once tamed a Megalodon near a decorated raft, or something XD
