Speaking of - we've added the Love Evolved cosmetics to Hexagon Exchange this week! All of the event content will be added to the PC game at the end of the year's cycle of events so they can be opted into for our PC unofficial server owners and players. Our console players will be able to grab all event cosmetics from the Hex store! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/8e51f795e1bf41c4c6b251f64490b92d626be1b8.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/be8af67db3c63d05cfa58a77e3ef37a1966f2671.jpg An ARK: EVO Event is active on all platforms from now through March 7th, with the following EVO perks: *Note that these bonuses

In the past, we've adjusted for the impact event have had on the rates by tweaking the bonuses that we use during the holidays, however, those tweaks lead to unfavorable circumstances on maps that aren't Genesis Part 2, so going forward during breeding events, we'll be disabling these mission buffs specifically as not to affect the bonuses on other maps. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/61f20956b9d976282f2dac0b7f240c84d0c79942.png 2/09/22

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch! This week we are excited to share the concept and dossier for Desmodus, the winner of the second Community Creature Vote! We introduced RCV (Ranked Choice Voting) in the most recent round of community voting and saw Desmodus win (39,781 votes) vs. Carcharodontosaurus (24,419 votes) in the 9th and final round! In other ARK news, we're starting the weekend off with an EVO event and Love Evolved starts next week. Check out the Love Evolved event details here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/1876b6956902a4205174795c8eba9413c0d5bbc0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/59200de161d2833ff0c80453b7de32044bd09703.jpg Download in high resolution {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/78a3952b56f202a4cda0ad956eb1c59791939189.png Common Name: Desmodus Species: Desmodus draculae Time: Pleistocene Diet: Sanguivore Temperament: Aggressive {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/3cc360e23bbff453429a0b55b594a598b49bab53.png Even with all the other monstrosities around here, this fugitive from a Creature Double Feature deserves top billing.
