  • Community Crunch 387: Introducing Dreadnoughtus

    welcome_crunch2023-1.png

    The highly anticipated Dreadnoughtus dossier has finally arrived, and we're all eager to witness the epic clashes between this colossal creature and the titans of Extinction. Additionally, we're thrilled to announce an upcoming event test drive featuring a condensed version of our traditional Turkey Trial! Lastly, don't forget to save the date for the CurseForge ARK modding Town Hall on November 20th!

    Species: Dreadnoughtus recalcitrans
    Time: Late Cretaceous
    Diet: Herbivore
    Temperament: Territorial

    Dreadnoughtus was a newly-described fossil genus in my day, named for the idea that it was so large it must’ve had nothing to fear in its own time. The current species does its namesake proud, and may even be able to defy the Titans ruling our post-apocalyptic world.

    A big believer in picking on creatures its own size, Dreadnoughtus will ignore anything smaller than a Spinosaur to focus on larger threats. It absorbs the fury of incoming attacks to charge up its uncanny, Element-disrupting bellow. Even then, this bruiser shows extraordinary patience, waiting until the last possible moment to come roaring back.

    Once tamed, Dreadnoughtus will gladly shoulder your heaviest artillery and carry it -- and you -- into battle, on a platform big enough to earn that ‘dreadnought’ name. Your walking war-machine will swallow boulders (or cannonballs!) to spit back up as acid-coated ammo.

    If you’re going to war with Titans, it just makes sense to recruit a titanic creature with a grudge against them. Your Dreadnoughtus ally may go down fighting, but not before softening up the adversary for a killing blow. Best of luck, and give ‘em Hell for me!

    As the aroma of Thanksgiving feasts fills the air, we're excited to share an update to our Event plans; Turkey Trial will be making a 2023 resurgence in abbreviated form! 

    Although we won’t be celebrating in true Turkey Trial fashion, we’re cooking up something planned to begin after Thanksgiving on Tuesday, November 28th.

    While we weren't planning to unleash the Murder-Turkeys on ARK: Survival Ascended this year, we’ve pivoted in order to do an event “test run”. Our intention is to use the CurseForge Mod Delivery System for this event, which we haven't done before on a wide scale on our Official Network. The benefits of using this system allow us to make sure that Seasonal Event Mods are always accessible, even after an event has ended so players who want to run them on their servers or in single-player can do so year-round and avoid us having to update clients, but just patch the mod itself.  

    Turkey Trial will still feature the same thrilling scavenger hunt, genetically-modified Murder-Turkeys, and the chance to craft your very own Turkey Costume or Ugly Sweater skin - in addition to some new Turkey Trial goodies!

    We'll have more details to share in the next Community Crunch, so, stay posted for Much Ado About Stuffing (sorry)!

    Why the Thanksgiving event after Thanksgiving? And really just asking bc I'd care more about boosted rates as a person w a full time job. I also don't understand why the "catch up rates" for console? If I played pvp I'd be pissed. If the move was to balance for pvp why not wipe or have seasons?

    So like how big is the Dread, is it going to be larger than the Titano as based on the dossier it's about the same size as the Ice Titan?

    The disrespect is real. Would if been better to not said anything about console than just putting out what you already have. Don't hide what's wrong tell us you know be honest. Why don't they want us to know.

    Sooo you've been working on a new dino that's not coming out for a year, and giving a Thanksgiving event to your favorite pc gamers, all while us consoles are waiting to just simply play? I thought you said everyone was working on fixing bugs and getting consoles up and running?? Obviously not if they are doing these other things. One would think getting consoles ASA would be an all hands on deck kind of thing.

    Man, you guys are really letting down the console community and pc players who have been awaiting these new servers. Give us some more information! You are leaving a huge part of your community in the dark

    That event looks great. I should logon and play. Oh wait, I can't, it won't be out on the console until sometime next year. We're on track for August. No wait, we're on track for October. No wait, we're on track for end of October. No wait, we're on track for November 14. No wait, we're on track for end of November. No wait, we're heading into the holidays with reduced hours on the game so it will be sometime in January. It's all Xbox's fault because it can't pass cert even though we've been loading this game on Xbox for 8 years. There's no way we could know what might be an issue. Don't worry, when we finally can get Xbox to certify this game we will put the game out and give you $5 off, and you can just lose to the Steam players that have been playing for 3 months. Don't forget, to help you catch up we will give you 1.5x for a weekend.

    At this point i dont even care anymore, just saying something new like "this is what our problem area is and this is the expected timeframe to get it back in the cert process" would do. This is childish behavior for a "professional" company, grow up and learn how to communicate with your playerbase or quit trying to make games you dont have the resources and experience for. Im 100% out at this point good luck getting people back on your side after all this.
