Jurassic World Alive's Weekly Events: FEB 28 - MAR 05

Hello everybody!!

His name is Lucus1355 and as always is joined by Kelociraptor and they'll be looking at what this Jurassic World Alive (JWA) week has in store for us.

The week, as always goes from Wednesday to the Tuesday of the following week. 

This weeks theme is to be ...

WE CAN SAVE THEM!!

(February 27th - March 5th)

With the featured creatures, what to dart can depend on the creature themselves, creatures’ hybrids, working out which hybrid or future hybrids would be a best fit for your team and/or to help you achieve any goals you may have; how far these hybrids are away from being created for yourself and finally, by looking at  the ‘Meta Tier List’ and the creature tier lists found in the GamePress JWA Discord Server.




 

Encase you're not familiar with a Weekly Event Calendar such as the one above then here's an explanation on its parts with this as our example:

(Outlined In Light Pink - Located Middle/Top of the Calendar) - Each week has a Theme, starts and ends between the dates shown and a day begins at 10am Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is when event creatures and strike towers will change to what the calendar has on it. Of course, the day start will be different depending on where you live in the world due to times zones. For example, 3pm in England and 8pm in East Australia.

(Outlined In Lighter Blue - Located Top Half) - The number of "ATTEMPTS" on the calendar for a set of Creatures are linked to the number of options in that rarity set, multiplied by these 'Rarity Base Numbers' for Common, Rare and Epic Creatures:  

• 9 per Common Creature
• 6 per Rare Creature
• 3 per Epic Creature

(Outlined In Darker Blue - Located Top Half of the Calendar) - In our example, there are 2 sets of 3 Epic Creatures; Wednesday-Thursday and Monday-Tuesday. The 'Rarity Base Number' for Epic Creatures is 3. So, 3 times 3 is 9 'Attempts' for each set of Epic Creatures in that week. 

You'll get 6 'Attempts' to dart a set of Omega Creatures, with 1 'Attempt' for a set of Legendary Creatures or a set of Unique Creatures, however many there may be in that set. This sometimes strays from that so check the calendar just to be sure, like our example showing 2 attempts for the Legendary Creature Set, on Sunday. REMEMBER: The bigger the number of creatures you can 'Attempt' to dart in 24 hours, means the harder it maybe for you to find the 1 you want most. Especially if there are many of 1 rarity or more than 1 rarity being featured in a day!

Also, you will have to think about creatures despawning and respawning as each rarity has a different length of time for both how long a creature will stay on the map before leaving, and the time between it leaving the map to when it may come back. An approximate guide is:

• Common’s and Rare’s spawn for 35 minutes, with 5 minutes between leaving and coming back.
• Epics spawn for 30 minutes, also with 5 minutes in between leaving and coming back.
• Legendaries and Uniques spawn for 27 minutes, with 3 minutes in between leaving and coming back.
• Omegas spawn for 22 minutes, with 2 minutes in between leaving and coming back.

(With thanks to Lilikoi of Dom Tuoretto for those cycles.)

Finally, the bottom half of the calendar shows all the rewards that'll be on the map that you could receive during the week. They mostly last for a day, but sometimes can be longer, such as the event Outlined In Pink. They are mostly Strike Events except for:

• An Event 'Trial' in dark grey boxes (Outlined In Black)
• The 'Treasure Chase' at the very bottom (Circled In Gold)

Strike Events usually give incubators but there are some special Strikes that give different rewards:

• Health, Damage or Speed Stat Strikes - Rewards the type of Boost in the Strike Title (Outlined In Grey)
• Creature Strike Events - Guaranteed Reward of DNA of that Creature (Outlined In Yellow)
• Title Strike - Rewards a Title (Outlined In Orange)
• Emote Strike - Rewards an Emote (Outlined In Brown)
• Scent Strike - Rewards Rare, Epic or Event Scents (Outlined In Navy Blue)
• Badge Strike - Rewards a Badge (Outlined In Pink)
• Catalyst Strike - Rewards the Catalyst in the Calendar Image (Outlined In Purple)

Lastly, each event has 1 of 6 difficulties, indicated by the icon next to the Event Rewards (Circled In Green). There is a Key showing the 'Difficulty Scale' (Outlined In Green).

With all that said and done, onto the Creatures themselves for this week.

Strike Events & Trials

Strike Events and Trials will be 'We Can Save Them' Themed and will reward different DNA found at Event Supply Drops (with a very tiny possibility of Legendary) along with a possibility of other goodies.

This week, there is a Beelzebufo Creature Strike on Friday, with the Boost Strikes being on Thursday (Damage), Saturday (Health) and Tuesday (Speed)  

Scents

On Thursday and Monday only we will have a Sauropoda Scent Strike. This scent "should" draw the following creatures every 2 minutes when activated with one rare guaranteed on the first pull:

• Apatosaurus (Common)
• Amargasaurus (Rare)
• Argentinosaurus (Rare)
• Bajadasaurus (Rare)
• Dreadnoughtus (Rare)
• Branchiosaurus (Epic)
• Diplodocus (Epic) 
• Sonorasaurus (Epic)

(NOTE: These creatures are an approximate of what the scent may contain and will change (if necessary) Wednesday/Thursday at reset when it is available to be viewed in-game. Please, check the "i" button for creatures and their percentage chances.)

Treasure Chase 

It seems we will have a Treasure Chase on both the Thursday and the Sunday where distance doesn't matter. You should be able to collect up to 25,000 coins through each period (Sunday will run 11am Eastern to 8pm Eastern, then it will reset until 11am Eastern Monday) - this allows two total chances at the coins and possible other contents too! 

(NOTE: This is an approximation of what the Treasure Chase should contain. Please check the "i" button for Treasure Chases' chest contents on Sunday.)

REWARDS

(DNA: Mainly used to Create, Evolve and Fused Creatures.) 

GamePress is excited to be able to provide weekly cash links worth $50 cash in game! The code can only be claimed once a week and you must click on it using the device you play JWA with. It will be active from Wednesday, 12am Eastern - Tuesday, 11:59pm Eastern every week. This is a promotional code provided courtesy of Ludia, Inc and is exclusive to GamePress. We will post this link in an article we publish each week. We will post all articles on our Twitter so follow us at NewsJWA on Twitter so you don't miss out! 

If you enjoy our content, please help let others know this is the source of the cash links people just post for the taking all over social media. The same goes for YouTuber Gaming Beaver. All links have a purpose behind them, and that is to promote some kind of media and drive traffic. Most people simply do not know there is actually a purpose behind these links, and we'd like to try to educate as many as we can. Take a moment to politely explain this in these posts. It isn't free money some random stranger on the internet whipped up. Every time these links are shared, it is taking opportunity away from an intended purpose. Please think about that or maybe find some time to visit Gaming Beaver, GamePress JWA, and the Ludia social medias.

*We can not control when Ludia officially deploys these links, but these are the times they are planned to be active.

Welcome to this section called 'Survey Says'. We'll be giving you a survey and then seeing what you Explorers voted for as your answer.

Last week we wanted you to tell us which Rewards in Jurassic World Alive needs to be boosted most.

Out of every Reward in the JWA, what should players get a higher amount of, specifically FOR FREE? :

• Cash

• Coins

• Catalysts 

• DNA 

• Boosts

• Skins (Currently Ingame)

• Emotes (Currently Ingame)

• Badges (Currently Ingame)

• Sanctuary Resources - Toys, Food and/or Interact? 

Perhaps something here or maybe another reward came to mind.

The results have been accumulated and the results showing which rewards in Jurassic World Alive need to be boosted most are now below:

Thank you for your patience!!

This week, we want you to tell us if it has to happen, what creatures you'd want to see coming into the game.

We'll be looking at Rarity, Class, Hybrid Type and Flock.

The results will be featured in next weeks article.

VOTE NOW FOR YOUR SAY AS TO WHAT WE SHOULD BE SEE COMING INTO JURASSIC WORLD ALIVE... 

'IF WE HAVE TO' !!

We would really love to hear about what you plan to dart and why, along with any other opinions that you can share in conversation by joining the ‘GamePress JWA’ Discord Server!!

With that, from Kelly and Lucus1355, and the GamePress JWA Discord Team, thank you for reading and we hope you enjoy the day!!!
