Updated Cave Functionality

January 30, 2010 at 1:06 PM

The Cave functionality has been changed greatly.

You can now see the species of the creature before you decide to steal it from the Egg Cave. This will help cut down on the number of unwanted eggs in Ark (since the Egg Cave staff does not support the abandonment of creatures).

Instead of being able to adopt only 10 eggs per day, you may now only make 10 attempted steals per day (regardless of whether or not you adopt the creature).

We hope you enjoy this new and amazing feature! Fun and cool new species are up next!

Ian • 30 Jan 2010, 1:11 PM

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:17 PM

so wait, it shows u which one ur getting before u get it? cuz when i look it doesnt show me anything...it just looks like it normally does

Ian • 30 Jan 2010, 1:19 PM

3heartbreaker3: you need to press "approach egg" in order to view what species it is. 😊

joy • 30 Jan 2010, 1:25 PM

Wow; this is a great idea. Thanks so much Ian! 😃 Yes, this should help people not to kill/abandon their eggs anymore. 😸

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:30 PM

zangetsugirl • 30 Jan 2010, 1:31 PM

I LOVE it. Really fantastic, now I won't have to worry about unwanted eggs anymore! Thanks, Ian!

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:31 PM

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:32 PM

sammynina19347 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:32 PM

glitterdragon • 30 Jan 2010, 1:35 PM

This is a great! Thanks Ian! But I also think that it should tell you when you've already done the max. number of attempts, because when I

icymuffin • 30 Jan 2010, 1:39 PM

I think you'll see the same kind of egg until you steal it from the cave... then you'll get a different kind

miomar • 30 Jan 2010, 1:40 PM

I do believe that this is the best update you have made so far.

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:52 PM

idk i kinda think its a dumb idea to only be able to get a certain type of egg per day unless u take it, cuz it doesnt really cut down the

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:53 PM

number of unwanted eggs in my opinion, but idk....ian wouldnt put something on here if it was a stupid idea...

asa • 30 Jan 2010, 1:54 PM

miomar • 30 Jan 2010, 1:56 PM

miomar • 30 Jan 2010, 1:56 PM

Oops! In order to steal an egg, you must do it via The Cave. If you did steal this egg directly from The Cave, make sure that Javascript is-

miomar • 30 Jan 2010, 1:57 PM

enabled on your browser.

losorlaugh • 30 Jan 2010, 1:58 PM

miomar • 30 Jan 2010, 2:02 PM

☹️ stupied cave update! Sorry for that but i can see only Whoon's today and cant steel eggs!

nyxulfr • 30 Jan 2010, 2:03 PM

This is great, thank you! 😃 But I think the notice that pops up when we have tried 10 times, should come up when we click "Approach Egg"...

kciw • 30 Jan 2010, 2:03 PM

sweet!!!!works great for me!!

glitterdragon • 30 Jan 2010, 2:03 PM

Thanks Ian! This is a wonderful addition to the Cave!! But would it be possible to increase the number of attempts to get an egg each day?

nyxulfr • 30 Jan 2010, 2:03 PM

.. not when we try to take the egg.

asa • 30 Jan 2010, 2:04 PM

darn, it showed a honk, but i have attempted too many time ☹️ ☹️ ☹️

asa • 30 Jan 2010, 2:05 PM

@nyxulfr i totally agree :/

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 2:05 PM

well doesnt it tell u how many attempts u have left? and also i dont really lik how u can only get one specific type unless u take it...

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 2:07 PM

oh wait ur right...it doesnt tell u how many attempts are left it still says 10 even if u've attempted some so nvm...

miomar • 30 Jan 2010, 2:11 PM

ambsie • 30 Jan 2010, 2:28 PM

accat • 30 Jan 2010, 2:30 PM

I see comments saying they only see 1 egg O.o I approached 30 eggs by now and saw almost all species, I see a diff egg with each approach

kiti • 30 Jan 2010, 2:30 PM

Is it supposed to show you the same species again and again or is that a bug? Some people say they see different ones is why I ask...

elluwah • 30 Jan 2010, 2:34 PM

I see different ones. I love this update! It really helps 😃
