The Diminuaith Updates Plus Site Fixes

May 23, 2017 at 12:00 AM

The Diminuaith is in the Cash Shop Park!

Find the Diminuaith in the Cash Shop Park through 31 May. We have changed its availability to a Seasonal creature, returning again in May 2018. It's such a critical part of the war between plant life in Ark that we couldn't resist!

Permanently Fixed: Randomly Broken Pages

Yesterday, the Forums front page went crazy blank. In the past, user and egg profiles have also suffered this issue randomly. Long story short: this bug has been permanently fixed so Egg Cave pages won't randomly break anymore. This had to do with our frontend templating language and certain characters in users' posts were corrupting the rendering engine. Now, these bad characters are ignored in the templating engine.

In not nerd speak: borked pages are back... for good! Yay!

Archive Design Concept Credits Restored

A few days ago, Archives entry credits for users went missing. It's back now. Sorry about that!

New Known Issue: Missing "Dead" Creatures

You know how the Resurrection Stone keeps track of your dead creatures? From version 2 to 3, we accidentally missed 100,000 of these dead creatures for you to be able to restore across all Egg Cave accounts. We expect to have a fix for this in the next couple of days. Stay tuned.

Why is it in the Cash Shop if it'll be seasonal?? 😋 Is it a seasonal in the CC shop?? -__-

OH, @prairie good question, I hadn't thought about that.

telekinec • 23 May 2017, 12:13 AM

I mentioned the bug for the missing dead creatures, hope I get all of my dead ones back! It'll add to the Egg Cave community! 😊

@prairie huh yeah, that's a bit strange.....😋

veritaspunk • 23 May 2017, 12:23 AM

@prairie This really had a manipulative effect on the value of them if you were a buyer, great for sellers, but buyers may have overvalued.

veritaspunk • 23 May 2017, 12:25 AM

@prairie It doesn't make much sense to spend 200cc unless year/date is that important to you. @bizarreeconomics

prairie • 23 May 2017, 12:29 AM

@veritaspunk Yeah, it's wierd. 😋 I mean, why spend $2 on a creature that'll be avalible later? 😋 I wouldv'e been fine buying one if I --

prairie • 23 May 2017, 12:30 AM

wanted a specific date after they retired (When NOT seasonal), but now..... :l I would't have made it seasonal myself

prairie • 23 May 2017, 12:31 AM

In fact, if they weren't seasonal they might bring in more income for the site.😋 If people like them people buy CC to buy from other users.

veritaspunk • 23 May 2017, 12:36 AM

@prairie You can never tell with the archives hehe, The reverse happened to me with the meekin saying it was seasonal, then it changed ☚ī¸

immortalraven • 23 May 2017, 1:00 AM

immortalraven • 23 May 2017, 1:03 AM

kudo • 23 May 2017, 1:35 AM

curious...

wavypavy • 23 May 2017, 4:48 AM

I was thinking about selling one of my diminuaths, but the price will have plummeted now so it isn't worth it.

ethereality • 23 May 2017, 6:39 AM

Nooooooo! It's my 15th birthday and I wanted to buy one! Now that it's seasonal I'm not so sure. ☚ī¸

sparklefox • 23 May 2017, 7:16 AM

I didn't see the broken front forums page, but I think I have seen other broken pages in the past. Glad that it's fixed!

skyfall4 • 23 May 2017, 1:46 PM

@Ian is it coming back as a seasonal CSP or seasonal cave? Just curious 😊

skyfall4 • 23 May 2017, 1:46 PM

The Dimun..... I'm calling it Brussel sprout x3
