  • Community Crunch 158: Post-Launch Extinction Updates!

    Post-Launch Extinction Updates!

    large_04.jpg

    Hello Survivors! We don't have much new information to share with you all in this weeks crunch, but we did still want to keep you in the loop of what we've been working on and what things look like going forward for us in the near future.

    It's been a whirlwind as we released Extinction on Xbox, PS4, Windows 10, and Max & Linux all last week. We had our highest number of peak players ever on PC last Sunday which we were thrilled to see. Extinction was the cumulative effort of many people and many hours, and to see the response from players about their experience on the map and with the creatures has been very rewarding for us.

    There have been some concerns from the community regarding bug-related issues and balance issues. We want to let everyone know that we are absorbing as much feedback from our players as possible through our many social channels, as well as videos and streams from survivors as well. 

    Here are some key issues we are currently tackling:

    • Primitive Plus not working on PS4 and Xbox.
    • The Center map missing terrain on PS4.
    • Supply drops missing on other maps.
    • Meteors doing damage where they should not.
    • Wyvern and Rock Drake eggs missing/not being visible.
    • Tek Rock Drake Saddle missing on PC.
    • Mek's and Enforcers being re-added to PS4/crash fix.
    • And many others.

    We are looking to get our console players up-to-date with the PC version in the near future, and will keep you posted as we make our way through the certification process on those. It is worth taking a look at what changes have been made to the PC version of ARK to be aware of changes coming to console in the near future. As always, we appreciate all of your feedback and your patience with us during this time as we address all platforms simultaneously.

    Next week we will have a Dev Diary with our lead programmer Chris, who will be chattting about some of the balance decisions that have been made on Extinction thus far and changes going forward. In the mean time, we hope you continue to enjoy the expansion! Keep on surviving!

    Has anyone else ever had a problem where tek replicators aren't working correctly? 

    Mine is about half full, yet showing -35/600 slots available. I'm also unable to craft anything from it. I'm only able to turn it on/off.

    It's not like me to complain about what wildcard gets done and doesn't get done but ever since the extinction update the primitive plus servers have been down for the PS4 its almost been 3 WEEKS! And this is still not fixed even though it was said that it was one of their key issues that they'ed fixed and the first on the entire list PLEASE FIX THIS

    In extinction it seems that you cant unlock engrams from other maps? I'm confused by this as you added all these old DLC creatures but didnt add the saddles for them or anything like that? It doesnt make since to me I hope this is a glitch but thanks anyway.

    Single-player/Non-dedicated servers for Windows 10 are broken. Complete wipe and forced to restart a character on each reload. No saving, no syncing, and so far no word on this issue from Wildcard. It's been like this over a week.

    I play on Xbox one and Extinction is the only map that doesn't render well for me or my friends. I've only had it look normal on single player, not on any server including empty ones. Is there any way I can fix that in a menu or something, or will it ever be fixed? I don't really even know how some of my baby velenos are supposed to look and I'm sad ?

    only one place to make a Tek Replicator in Cave ? it's stupid. 5k metal I have to transport to the other end of the map, and the rest of the material?

    Use the king titan terminal. We took a couple argies and two owls and carried it all easily. Nothing spawns up there it seems, so it’s pretty safe as long as you don’t fly through the wyvern trench to get there.

    Użyj terminala King Titan. Wzięliśmy parę argenty i dwie sowy i wszystko to z łatwością wykonaliśmy. Wygląda na to, że nic się nie pojawia, więc jest to całkiem bezpieczne, o ile nie przejdziesz przez rowy wywerna, żeby się tam dostać. 

    I am alone with my wife, in this case we need a few high lv argentavis. we have two argi 80 and 104 lv. There are enemies in the cave. I do not want to lost the material. For which I have spent  a lot of time. Larger tribes demand payment for making. that's why I think it's stupid. Getting BP for us is not possible (wiki: Alternatively, their blueprint can be obtained from Orbital Supply Drop (Extinction).png Orbital Supply Drops and King Titan.png Titansas a possible drop.). Orbital Supply Drop 25k hp and two rex 130 lv vs one spino 318 lv or more  soory (ps4) .

    On official pve, lvl 300+ wyverns and gigas being kited into people's bases, completely wiping them, is intended? If yes, please say so, so I don't waste more time on the otherwise very cool map.

     

    It's not really possible to find a good base spot high up due to pillars and without flyer. It's not really possible to tame a flyer if you can hardly build a small base that will get wiped the same day anyway.

    Don’t build a base then. Grind some levels, tame a flyer. Find a base location. That’s how pvp works. If you need a base to tame a ptera or make a ptera saddle you’re wrong. And they’re EVERYWHERE in city.

    I don't play pvp

    It has been almost a month since my post and we're all set up now. Found a place high up, made a small building, can fly from there to the other biomes to tame the extinction creatures.

    Bases are still getting destroyed by kited corrupted dinos, so far we haven't been attacked again, but others have lost everything.
