Survival takes a sharp turn this week as the community-voted winner sinks its claws into the spotlight! With its lightning speed and razor-sharp instincts, this prehistoric predator is set to shake up the ARK in ways we can’t wait to dive into! Meanwhile, on the LiveOps front, we’ve been kept on our toes. We’ll break it all down, along with the steps we’re taking to keep things running as smoothly as possible.
With over 32k votes, Megaraptor will be the new creature added to Valguero for ARK: Survival Ascended. We are looking forward to sharing its concept and dossier in the weeks to come!
If you are interested in seeing exactly how the voting went, check it out here.
* Note that we’ll be reading through these threads and using them as inspiration for how the creature will be designed; aspects suggested may change.

Our hosting providers are facing a severe, ongoing DDoS attack, which has caused recent outages, including those over the past 48 hours. We’re actively working with our partners to mitigate the issue, but as with these types of attacks, we don’t yet have an estimated resolution.
While our partners work on it, we’ve taken steps to protect player progress:
Increased the upload timer to 72 hours (and we’ll extend it further if needed).
Temporarily disabled decay timers to prevent loss of player progress.
Taken certain regions offline to protect player data when necessary.
Extending the time on Expire Servers to give everyone a chance to retrieve their characters and items. Once things are more stable, we’ll announce a date—don’t worry, you’ll get plenty of notice.
We’re closely monitoring mitigation efforts with our partners, but please keep in mind that the situation may continue to evolve.
We’ll be holding on running an EVO event this week in light of the instability–we’ll look to do something nice for players in that regard when this is all resolved.
Thanks for your patience and support while we work through this!
