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!

Anyone else up Terron hunting? 😃

bazoo • 31 Jan 2010, 2:57 AM

There goes the suspense ☚ī¸

Orderedchaos • 31 Jan 2010, 3:08 AM

@thursdays_dove Yup. And I got one too. 😃

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 3:14 AM

I got two! Luuuucky! 😸

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 3:15 AM

(And, yes, steals views too.) 😉

thursdays_dove • 31 Jan 2010, 3:15 AM

Me too! But I already have two so I'm holding onto it for a friend. 😊 OMG this new cave option is such a tease, you can still approach

thursdays_dove • 31 Jan 2010, 3:15 AM

the egg and see what it is and not be able to take it if you've already look at 10. I could have gotten another Terron! xD

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 3:19 AM

I know... That's pretty bad. I lost count and then I saw a Honk but couldn't take it because I'd run out of takes. Don't like that. 😋

accat • 31 Jan 2010, 3:20 AM

Still, I wish we could see the gender of our creatures before naming them 😋

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 3:21 AM

Like someone said earlier: What if it was a Mo. I'd cry my eyes out or tear my hair our! xD

lilones • 31 Jan 2010, 3:23 AM

Terron Rescue sounds so much ... ok time to sleep.

accat • 31 Jan 2010, 3:24 AM

I approached probably 30 eggs hoping to at least see a mo and convince myself they really exist in the cave xD Didn`t see any

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 3:24 AM

@ accat That would be nice too. 😸

3heartbreaker3 • 31 Jan 2010, 3:25 AM

OH MY GOSH I WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING A TERRON EALIER IT WAS RIGHT THERE BUT THEN IT TOLD ME I HAD ALREADY DONE 10 ATTEMPTS! I think it

3heartbreaker3 • 31 Jan 2010, 3:25 AM

should be unlimited attempts but only 10 takes

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 3:25 AM

Aeroria tells me I can't rename anyone until February 28th which to me seems strange. I've used 10 names since January 2th or something.

auraboros • 31 Jan 2010, 3:25 AM

D: Still no Mo. Got another Terron though. ^^

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 3:26 AM

Do I have to wait 30 days now before I get another 10 names to use? I thought it was 10 name / 30 days. Or did I get that wrong? x__X

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 3:28 AM

I totally agree with 3heartbreaker3!! 😃

sparklefox • 31 Jan 2010, 3:33 AM

I cant steal any,I have more than 100 eggs! ☚ī¸

sparklefox • 31 Jan 2010, 4:28 AM

ottonio • 31 Jan 2010, 4:45 AM

sapphire12 • 31 Jan 2010, 5:31 AM

sapphire12 • 31 Jan 2010, 5:32 AM

killberry • 31 Jan 2010, 5:36 AM

Haha nice, they should tell us once 10 tries are over at least 😃

sapphire12 • 31 Jan 2010, 6:20 AM

@nle1998 ye, but its for reducing the amount of abandoned eggs. So its for a good cause! And u'll still be a bit surprised when u look at -

sapphire12 • 31 Jan 2010, 6:23 AM

which 1 u approached. O ya u can do tht! som1 shud've told me tht wen i was getting my Terron! I cudve picked a better name than omgomgmomg

dragonkeeper • 31 Jan 2010, 7:09 AM

I like the option of seing the egg but that would stink if the egg was a mo and wouldnt be able too get if I already seen 10 eggs

sapphire12 • 31 Jan 2010, 7:22 AM

@dragonkeeper. ttly! so i shud prob stop searching... @nle1998. What dyu think it'll be?

elluwah • 31 Jan 2010, 7:50 AM

It would be cool if there was a Valentines Day egg... only available in Feb 😋

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 7:56 AM

@ elluwah Oh, yes, that would be very nice and... romantic! 😃

sapphire12 • 31 Jan 2010, 7:58 AM

@elluwah. Tht'll be rly nice, maybe it's Cupid? ... A flying baby in diapers shooting arrows at ppl hatching from an egg... *_*

dragonkeeper • 31 Jan 2010, 7:58 AM

elluwah I like your idea of a valentine pet sounds preety

dragonkeeper • 31 Jan 2010, 8:00 AM

sapphire12 and thats why Iam trying not to serch the cave as much now I would cry If I could have gooten a second mo

bazoo • 31 Jan 2010, 8:10 AM

@elluwah: That will be cool! I was drawing creatures I would like to submit, and with that was a heart-like creature that needs "clicks"

bazoo • 31 Jan 2010, 8:11 AM

or heartbeats (XD) to evolve :] And funny how I typed in a name and the attempt showed a Honk. But it said after "You can only..." XD

lizardfeather • 31 Jan 2010, 8:11 AM

Thanks Ian!!!! And all you people realize this is what it would be if you didn't see it, you just see it now!

lizardfeather • 31 Jan 2010, 8:13 AM

So if you can only see it ten times, you would have stolen ten unwanted eggs!

lizardfeather • 31 Jan 2010, 8:15 AM

Um, Ian..... It's still the same for me..,,,.,.........

lizardfeather • 31 Jan 2010, 8:17 AM

Ooops silly mistake XD

lizardfeather • 31 Jan 2010, 8:22 AM

Wow I like this!!!!!! I have two more Honks now!!!!!!

nyxulfr • 31 Jan 2010, 8:49 AM

@elluwah - I love the idea about Valentines Day eggs! 😃 An unicorn would be fitting for that.

dragonkeeper • 31 Jan 2010, 8:51 AM

thats the kind of pet I really whant is a unicron pet I love horses

elluwah • 31 Jan 2010, 9:00 AM

I agree, a unicorn would be brilliant 😃

kopakasheild • 31 Jan 2010, 9:17 AM

I love it! ^^ But bleh, all i'm finding are Flors...

silverserpent • 31 Jan 2010, 9:23 AM

Use Firefox people if you don't want to see the same egg over and over. At least until the cave is fixed for Internet Explorer. 😸

sapphire12 • 31 Jan 2010, 9:30 AM

@silverserpent Which I hope is soon. My FireFox is slow...

dionaea • 31 Jan 2010, 9:44 AM

It works fine for google chrome too, I really think this is one of the best updates so far, though it would be completely perfect if you
