Community Crunch 453: Eggcellent Adventure details, LiveOps Update, and more!

Ark Survival Ascended 2025-04-12 00:41:19
Steam Image Last week, some unexpected guests clawed their way into the ARK, and if your base has a few more hairballs than usual, you can probably thank our mischievous feline friends for that.

But don’t put your baskets away just yet! Next week, the Eggcellent Adventure is hopping into gear! Expect pastel-colored mayhem, oversized ears, and more eggs than a dodo daycare.

And for those of you setting your sights on new horizons, the wait is over! Astraeos transfers have officially opened, so it’s time to pack your bags and bring your hard-earned progress wherever adventure calls.

Let’s bunny-hop right in!

Eggcellent Adventure makes its debut into ARK: Survival Ascended next week! Follow the trails of wild Bunny Dodos and Bunny Oviraptors to collect Bunny Eggs scattered across the ARK. These festive finds can be painted for fun or used to craft special holiday-themed cosmetics, including seasonal costumes and chibis.

Get ready to hop into the celebration and make your ARK a little more eggstra!

    A patch that went out today included a fix for Cryo Fridges not updating their power state until opened. This should have been communicated in advance so it could have been prepared for and it was an error on our part that we hadn’t. Unfortunately, the outcome is that some cryopods have expired in cryofridges after their states were correctly updated with the recent patch. Our team took temporary measures to disable transfers while we reviewed the data to determine whether a rollback would be a viable option.

    One key aspect that affects the decision of whether to rollback or not relates to transfers, and, given the timing with Astraeos, transfers are at an all time high. After reviewing our data to assess how much would be lost in uploads (in short: a lot), we made the difficult call not to rollback the saves as it would result in greater loss for a larger group of players. This preserves players’ uploaded items, creatures, and in many cases, their characters.

    Honestly, this was a very difficult decision, rollbacks are never straightforward and they always come with some risk, however in this case the risk is guaranteed (due to the immense volume of transfers) and would cause more loss.

    This wasn’t how we wanted the fix to land, and we really feel for anyone who lost dinos because of it so we’re going to make some imminent changes to our evolution event and easter rate plans to help compensate for the loss.

    To support affected players, we’ll be running 3x rates this weekend including breeding, and also plan to continue 3x rates including breeding every weekend (Friday 1 PM PST to Monday 1 PM PST) during Eggcellent Adventures, with the planned regular event 2x rates including breeding throughout the weekdays while the event is active.

    Thank you for your patience and we sincerely apologize to those impacted.
