Regarding Fear Evolved on single player (used launch options)

[Molotov Hunter]

I've got a question about why the DodoRex and Wyvern don't seem to spawn, along with the Graves/Scarecrows/Pumpkins/ and CandyCorn drops not appearing. (Also noticed the orange moon doesn't show up) I waited 6+ hours for one to show up and nothing. Did the devs make it so it can only happen during the scheduled time even though you can launch the event yourself? I missed most of the actual event and wanted to play solo with it.

1. In the launch options I use the activeevent=FearEvolved
2. The Fear Evolved 4 screen shows up in the start screen
3. I have everything set to vanilla day/night speed (1x)
4. I'm playing on The Island and Scorched Earth (Thanks for the reminder to add this Diakos)

Any advice would be appreciated!

They changed how the ActiveEvent command works. When the event is officially over, they patch the game and *remove* most of the assets. Things like the skins and chibis can stay, but the skeleton dinos stop spawning and the spooky decorations completely cease to exist. Zombdodos and the Dodo Rex and Dodo Wyvern are also removed.

It's easy to test on Aberration, because instead of skeleton dinos you just get *normal* ones. The only plus side is that this time they let people keep the zombie wyverns. The first time they "cleaned up" the holiday assets they deleted all existing zombie wyverns, too. (Although since in my single player save they weren't ridable, it wasn't really a huge loss. Wyverns are nearly impossible to manage if you can't ride them.)

I heard people lost their zombie dodos, wich i understand as they were terrifyingly strong and fast. I just wish that we could have kept em, or make it so pvp has vastly different settings vs pve so that they can be balanced seperately. This would have let us keep so many dinos as they were when released including the zombie dodos. I am glad to hear the wyverns are staying though, my one friend would have been very upset to lose his lvl 400 fire zombie

I hate this, it was nice when running a private server (or SP) that you could just choose to keep running the event as long as you wanted. It really ticks me off that they started removing the assets aside from the collectibles once the official event ends. I loved running halloween and christmas events for longer than the official times. Now it isnt an option even on private servers and SP. Super annoying.

Agreed, I stopped playing on multiplayer and liked to keep exploring and seeing what new color combos I could find or stuff inside the drops.
Taking out the event assets was pointless

Actually the color variations are the only thing that still works from events when using the server startup argument. You just can't get drops anymore afterwards, and cant craft any event items in the cookpot. I had tons of halloween items to craft with still, and now they are all gone.(i thought i could extend the event and keep collecting)

I'm sure this was yet another way to try to free up resources to get official servers to run better, at the expense of everyone else.

Typical WC, only thinking about themselves...
