Community Crunch 256: Introducing Voidwyrm & Update on Genesis II

Another delay how supricing! 

It would have been out of character to release something on time and not broken, let's be honest here. When Cedric was saying he was trying to organise something to show off new stuff and never happened, you knew they were far behind schedule and had no chance of releasing it on time. At least I might be able to get the PS5  by then and wait a yr later for that 'next gen upgrade unicorn' they promised. 

Will there be Reaper Queens?

Also how many times have they delayed a DLC? *No hate btw*

All except maybe scorched earth I think, which was a surprise I’m pretty sure?

And Crystal Isles

Ive never seen ANY company release a game that fulfills both these requirements. I mean sure, lots fulfill “on time” but not broken/dosent have bugs is a BIIIIGGGGG ASK

What’s not surprising is how much Geico can save you on home and auto insurance

Look closely at the pictures? I think there’s a model difference. If it is a queeen then definitely, if not, then only likely.

It helps to link to those pictures rather than just say look at some random pictures and expect people to know which pictures you refer to. 🤷‍♂️

I’m fairly sure that’s a king, but there’s still a good chance of queens too.

Suffice to say, some of us are a little annoyed and frustrated and express this, others choose to continue to look at it positively and support the team.  I still support the team, I may not be happy with some things, but you have to respect that this game, even with all it's known and probably unknown issues, is still a great game. I just wish they'd communicate with us in a meaningful way regarding things. Seeing progress being made, reading dev blogs, and being kept in the loop would be an ideal way to help the community cope with delays and the issues presented.  That's really all I'm saying, that and everyone has a right to post their thoughts regardless on if it's a pom pom wielding fan boy or a deeply frustrated veteran.

 

Can we have a name for the fedie meks  and face sucker squids? 

Reason I do not support these devs anymore, is because they do not care about their game. Let alone have they ever even released a DLC on time. WC treats its playerbase like crap. Let alone the amount of game breaking bugs in this game. Save your time and money, move on. Also a voidwyrm? Oh wow. A wyvern with a bionic skin, amazing WC really. Lool.

How are you going to convince people to move on from a game when you can't move on from the forum?

You try giving a wyvern a bionic skin. Also, it may have different ability’s and powers then a wyvern. If it does completely different things is it really the same?

There is not DLC, but it is again bug with move between servers. 
Keep it smartly. You are working on game of the year.

Who actually reads these constant misery triads? 🤣

It takes as long as it takes.

Gosh, it's a game and not an employment contract!
Catch up again!

They do have x-reapers so if there is no queen then they will be tameable?

They always end with "we are done with wildcard" but much like people who are "done with domino's pizza", they always come crawling back.

Umm well Aberration is the map I’ve played least, so correct me if I’m wrong, but, yes, can’t tame without queens, I’m fairly sure. Tho I doubt  Rockwell would only have kings, and I doubt WC would only give us kings.

I'm just gonna say this like it is. Wildcard does care about their game, maybe not for all the reasons an end user would want them to, and that's not to say that some of the Devs don't still care and have the passion to better the game.   Facts:  Ark is still their money maker, they can't afford not to care about the game as that would mean losing their jobs, feeding and supporting their families and destroying any aspiration to progress in their chosen career. 

 

Take a moment to step into the shoes of the team, think about their growth from a 15 man studio into what they are, all the obstacles they faced, lack of knowledge and experience, technological issues preventing the ideas being possible, never ending criticism from the community, pressure from the industry.  Yet, here they are several years later,  still here, still working on the title, still supporting us, each other, and tightly holding on to a battered pride and sense of accomplishment that the negativity infused denizens of the community continue to assault and chip away at.  While I myself have taken a few swings at their pride over the years with my own negativity and frustration, I have never lost sight that they are trying, nor have I ever lost respect for the achievements and creative game that this is. 

 

Am I currently loving Ark? Sure, on private servers.  I see this last map as an end to the story and the start of a new one, and I'm ready for it to be the end of the story. We've been through quite a few maps, stories, and one hell of a rollercoaster ride, I'm just hoping that Ark 2 won't be such a harrowing ride and that we'll see impactful changes based on wisdom gained from development on the original game.
