  • 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!

    Josh and Jen will be streaming some Extinction gameplay from the Xbox One X at 12pm PST tomorrow! That will be two hours after the updates go live on PS4 and Xbox. Join us on our Twitch channel for some gameplay and casual chat with the devs!

    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!

    Toujours pas de nouvelles pour la mise à jour du jeux de base sur Microsoft store ... Donc impossible de jouer à Extinction, ça annule le crossplay avec Xbox ... Bref vous avez vraiment bien géré cette mise a jour :@ Microsoft, vous êtes des incompétents ! Déjà pour Warframe à l'époque vous bloquiez les maj pendant des jours pour vos certifications de merde et là idem !!!

    Sinon vous êtes au courant que nous avons payés pour accéder à un service qui n'est pas disponible ?!

    Le principe du commerce c'est de payer pour un bien ou service, ici vous êtes simplement des escrocs ! >:(

    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.

    why is everyone being negative problem here problem there, WE ARE GETTING EXTINCTION. Lets have some fun and just deal with the problems they will fix them soon.

    Maybe because some of us don't actually have Extinction. Windows Store version of Ark has no update. Game does not show that we purchased and downloaded it. And furthermore, we can no longer play online at all because we are running the previous version since all the servers got a version update. That is how we can be negative. Especially since no comment about when we are getting the update has been made.

    Xbox has been running for 22hours straight, seen the servers bounce between 68 and 70/70...  but nope still “waiting to automatically join session” like please.... add MORE than enough servers for SmallTribes and then take away what you can afford to lose .... not release 6 at a time and keep the majority of people unable to play or at a significant disadvantage being soooo late to the game. I can already tell once I finally do get on it’s going to be a s*** show.

    Still no windows 10 update. At least make it so we can actually play the damn game. I don’t care about the new expansion. I just want to play my island server with my friends again!

    @Jen “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.“ alright we have been patient... but now you guys need to roll out MORE than enough smalltribe servers to suffice because now there are tribes 30+ server days ahead of everyone else and with no hope in sight of catching up.... stop adding little by little and add ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE and then you can take down little by little.... the fact that I have been “waiting to join session” for over 27 hours straight is absolute buffoonery! And there’s no point in playing x1 official if you’re a smalltribes player so there goes days and days of people WAITING to play an inevitably broken game.... I understand first launch issues.... BUT AT LEAST LET US EXPERIENCE THE BUGS AS OPPOSED TO WATCHING THIS DAMN SERVER SCREEN FOR HOURS ON END thanks ???

    Hi all!

    I`m on ps4. I have SE, but no abber and ext yet. In ps store season pass is cheaper than aber and ext per one. So the question - if i buy season pass now, i`ll have acces to aber and ext? 

    Thx!
