  • 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!

    Why are you patching exploits that haven't hurt the meta or game play and completely ignoring the issue of meshing. It is so bad on Xbox and I swear you guys are purposely sabotaging your game at this point. You can mesh on extinction! Don't patch our useful glitches if you can't patch the hurtful ones! Get your priorities in check Wildcard.

    Ever since extinction dropped, the lava island on the center has the entire floor missing so you can easy get messed or fall through the floor and die. Fix your crap wildcard

    Will Extinction be getting the fresh servers (I believe they were called)? Where you couldn't transfer in or out for so many days (somewhere between 30-60 real life days), then it became open to transfer? I'd really like to see those types of servers for Extinction.

    Just a heads up to whoever has this expansion. I am a solo console player and have been playing this dlc since release. I was doing fairly good as a solo I had a metal base turrets and Dino's untill when I went to go get more silicate a corrupted wyvern started chasing me so I used the snow owls dive bomb move to get away but for some reason the wyvern didn't leave me alone even when he was out of render distance or attacking another creature he came back chasing me untill I reached my base in the sunken forest. My turrets had been set on all targets just in case. The wyvern soaked all my bullets killed all me tames and as I'm writing this destroying my base. Ark extinction 10/10 would play again.

    It works perfectly fine, the issues is that the servers are always full so you’re probably sitting there in limbo starring at the obelisk you tried to transfer from while the game puts you in queue waiting to join said server. (Xbox)

    If you actually read the post it answers that question fairly early on....

    Hi @SaraVieira

    There was/is a bug with the Gacha having two inventories which impacts on the saddle and being able to ride it. It was fixed in the most recent PC patch, therefore, for console I suspect the fix will come in the next patch for those.

    When will the veins be releasing on console?

    As they've been released now on PC I would imagine in the next console patch. They haven't said when that will be yet though.

    The work around we are doing is rider specific. We take the saddle out of the “normal” inventory , then equip it into the “extra” inventory (one on the bottom if you hold triangle for PS4). What this does is push the second saddle (previously equipped) into the gacha inventory. Then we go to the normal inventory and can then ride the gacha for a bit. Not all gacha work, as we can’t access the extra inventory on some. But overall it’s gotten us cooking for stone a bit better than a hatchet. 

    This is rider specific though. My tribemate couldn’t ride right after I equipped both saddles, but I could. They took the saddles off and equipped and I couldn’t ride but they could.

    I thought the taxidermy tool was coming to ALL maps??

    It's positively ridiculous that something that should've been in the game already, can only be obtained through Extinction. Make it an engram for all maps! So stupid! Have you tried getting a place on Extinction? It's beyond difficult, especially when you're on a selfish server full of pillars and blocked terminals.
