  • Community Crunch 157: Console Extinction Release & Stream Info!

    large.extinction_small.jpg

    Extinction Server Information - Console!

    ARK: Extinction will be launching tomorrow on November 13th at 10am PST on Xbox and PS4! We are expecting the Xbox download to be approximately 20gb download for the base game and 9gb for expansion pack. We do not currently have a PS4 estimate, but they are typically quite a bit smaller than Xbox patch sizes.

    On launch you'll be able to transfer your existing character from your current server into Extinction. You will not be able to transfer items or tames. You can however transfer characters, items, and tames out of Extinction onto other maps. If you were around for the release of Scorched Earth or Aberration this is the exact same process those servers underwent. 

    There are no disabled engrams in Extinction like there was at Aberration's launch, meaning things such as Tek Teleporters are allowed. Creatures like flyers are also enabled on Extinction.

    We will be releasing an initial start batch of servers, and bringing more servers online as needed so please be patient for us during this period. The servers will be the standard 70-player cap. Extinction will be included in all CrossARK clusters (except 'TheHundred'), as well as Small Tribes servers. Extinction will not be supported in Primitive Plus on launch, but it is something we will consider looking into at a later date. Extinction will also not have NoTek/NTek-NoTaming, Primitive, or TheHundred servers for those currently playing on those subsets of gamemodes. The legacy network will get a few servers, however they will be in small supply. 

    Stay tuned to our Twitter account for the most up-to-date information on Extinction official servers going live, but they will start to be available around the time the expansion pack is available for download. Please be aware that PS4 will go online first, with Xbox following closely after.

    Important note: PS4 single-player will launch with an element vein bug that can cause structures to be removed when built in the area of a vein. This is planned to be patched out on Wednesday. Other modes/consoles will not be affected. Console and PS4 build remain one week behind PC, which means they will not launch with any changes that were made in v286.103. The Windows 10 version may be slightly delayed, but we will provide further info on that as we have it.

    Extinction Launch Day Stream!

    Modding Community Updates!

    Hello modders, I just wanted to give a heads up that it will be a while before a new devkit update is ready. Because of this some of you may be experiencing issues with your mods including crashes. Some of the core class code has had some changes that could be resulting in mismatches to cause these errors. My recommendation is to disconnect any code that is causing issues until the devkit update is ready.

    I also have a new modding tutorial ready for you today. We're going to cover the setup of our structures and getting them to be something physically in the game. You can check it out below!

    We all get there would be problems, but I mean come on this is beyond a joke? All these issues that keep happening are just repeats of what’s happened before! Does the Dev team really have no idea what they’re doing or do they just not learn? Very disappointing. If this game wasn’t so unique it would have died out after the first month.

    Can we just be a little more positive? I mean, they didn’t delay it, and they have had some time for PC players to find issues for them to fix, which will provide us with a better product faster, so it’s not that big a deal, and everyone who is saying that they don’t care is wrong, I mean, they didn’t postpone, it’s not more than a weeks wait, there will be fixes coming soon, and there’s the best part, new content! Who cares if there’s minor setbacks that they push through to get you a DLC, even though, yes, PC is the main target here. Heck! They hired Jen to have to wade through all this negativity and make community announcements to keep everyone in the loop! Positivity is essential!!

    Here's positive for you.  I'm positive I'm going to loose everything I've built since I started, as I've been locked out of the game for a week now, with no end of being locked out in sight.

    Are you guys for real? You refuse to rollback the servers to before your glitchy patch ruined hundreds of peoples bases(and some spent hundreds of hours combined on it), people are running around with 600%damage shotguns and 2.5k dura gear(which they got from some stone and owl pellets), many peoples bases got wiped because you made the mek able to damage structures outside of turret range, and this is only THE FIRST WEEK. For the love of god, get your crud together wildcard!

    9h after ark launched for xbox and still no windows 10 version :/

    Edit: 12h after extinction launched for consoles and still no update for windows 10 users -__- I'm calling BS

    Edit 2: 24h later still no god damn update ... I'm officially pissed.

    Edit 3: 48h and finally an update ( i only noticed it at 5pm which 4h past the 1pm launch of the consoles but I'm just gonna assume it was released at 1pm ) still pissed but at least i can play I'm hoping the graphics arn't as horrible as the consoles because i saw them and it was awful just horrific :/

    thats what people should say not complain about it yeesh get a grip on yourselves. im not even a teenager and i'm more mature than some of these people. and you can't get mad at me for playing ark because it is a video game. also about people complaining about spoilers if you are going to complain just dont look at any content. i personally do because i at least want some idea of what im getting into. BTW there is a kid at my school who claims to be a dev so someone please just confirm there isn't any dev's that are kids.  but seriously i cannot wait to get home from school to play extinction im so excited!

    Lost my character in the rollback on ps4, amazing, great job wild card, great job indeed. Also, another tribemate lost his 108lvl character with all of the tek engrams unlocked. Not to mention the fact that you only released 6 small tribes servers on ps4, which means we had to wait for a few hours to get into one server only to lose our characters. It is simply pathetic at this point.

    Managed to find the expansion eventually. MS had hidden it away on the store. Managed to get on extinction through our private server with my character and managed to transfer a Dino and set up a shack. Was not expecting to be able to do anything on release so I am impressed WC. Thanks :)

    So, when will Windows Store version for PC be updated? None of us appreciate buying an expansion that can't be played without an update. Yet, here I sit with version, I believe, 778.1 and cannot find any servers because they are all 779.XX. Thanks wildcard. Take my money and screw me. As well as everyone else.
