Survivors!

Over the past few weeks many of you have stormed onto the battlefield of the ARK to compete in the chance to participate in Survival of the Fittest: The Last Stand Championship Finale!

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=534357277

We’ve still got two more qualifier days to go on Tuesday the 13th and Thursday the 15th of October! After these final two qualifier-days, we’ll have rounded up all of the contestants for the upcoming Pre-Championships which are set to begin on Sunday the 18th of October and again on Tuesday the 20th of October. The match will officially start at 2PM Eastern on both days. However two hours prior to the games synchronized-launching, qualified players will have the option to join a match to organize their in-game Tribes. This means the server will officially open up at 12PM Eastern You do not have to play with Tribe you qualified with and you’re welcome to form new ones for this stage of the event. After this two hour period the games will launch and survivors will begin the battle for a place in the grand finale! You don’t have to win to earn a spot, just be within a Tribe that places in the top quadrant - closer to the actual day or day of, we’ll be able to let you know more specifically as to where you’ll need to place: it’ll depend on how many qualified teams decide to show up or not! You only get one shot, so if your tribe is knocked out during a pre-championship game, they’ll be out of the tournament! And yes, if you are launched in one of the Sunday Pre-Championship, you won’t be able to join Tuesday’s Pre-Championship -- the two days are just intended to help support players’ personal schedules.

We’ve been going through the qualifiers keep track of tribes who’ve won a SoTF game on the preliminary servers in order to get them whitelisted for our pre-championships. Over the next few days the survivors listed below will be invited to a Steam Group as well as sent a friend request from a special Studio Wildcard account used for the purpose of this event. Please make sure you accept both the friend request and join the private group. The document below will highlight any tribe / players that won an event, or closest placing tribe / players (in the event that everyone in an already-qualified tribe had won again). The document will also highlight the day and the time of which the preliminary game had completed so we’ll be able to see which person qualified from which day and which round.

The list still has two more days of qualifiers to add on to it and will get updated as we go along, however these are the qualified participants so far;

The Last Stand Qualified Players[docs.google.com]

If you think you should be on the list due to your Tribe winning a Preliminary, but aren’t on it, please let us know in the comments here and we’ll penta-check, however everything should be in order as it was all logged and automated. You may see that sometimes it says a tribe has only qualified with one member and find that a little odd, whilst it was of course possible to win a solo-preliminary match, most often these reduced-tribes are due to us pruning out already-qualified members in order to keep things organized!

Good luck Survivors on Tuesday and Thursday’s remaining Last Stand Preliminaries; we’ll post updated results on Wednesday and Friday from those days. We look forward to seeing all you awesome qualified players in the Pre-Championships!

First!

Iguanodon, first dino ever discovered. Good to see it in Ark.

[Magical Leopluradon]

Wooo! I remember playing with Iguanodon toys, probably the first dino I really "knew" about as a kid.

[kotawolf]

Very nice one to add.

[Spartan]

Iguanodon! What a lovely day!
But...Iguanodon was from Early Cretaceous not Late Jurassic. But its so cool! Looks like Owl Transformer.

Actually, it was around from the Mid-Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous.

Many dinos are from multiple eras.

Woooo!

Yeah, the devs said that those eggs won't work.
