ARK Community Crunch 254: Love Evolved Rates and Support Evidence

Community Crunch 254 was published on February 12, 2021, while ARK’s Love Evolved 2 event was under way. The announcement combined the event rollout, a support-reporting reminder, weekly statistics and selected community work.

Love Evolved 2 rollout

The event ran from February 11 through February 18 with 3x breeding, XP, harvesting and taming rates. At publication time, the event rates were already live on the official PlayStation network, while the content build was still moving through Sony’s publishing process. The update therefore described a rollout in progress, not a permanent server configuration.

Evidence for support reports

Studio Wildcard added a navigation link to its video-evidence guide for enforcement reports involving cheats or exploits. The change made it easier for players to see what footage and context moderators needed before reviewing a ticket. The Crunch also noted a Steam Lunar New Year sale with discounts of up to 80%.

Weekly stats and creators

The data feature examined the average player level at the time a survivor was killed by a wild dinosaur. Community Corner then highlighted projects including Rubius Z’s ARKADIA series, sam_stimo’s Viking town, UpFromTheDepths’ Snowbound build and IamMacMan’s Owl Trade Base.
