  • Community Crunch 438: Extinction Launch Update and Wasteland War Keyart!

    welcome_crunch2023-1.png

    Hey Survivors!

    Just a quick update on launch, we’ve decided to push back the Extinction Ascended and Wasteland War release by just 3 days to Thursday, the 19th of December 2024. It’ll be a simultaneous Cross-Platform launch later in the day during PST hours. We’ll be able to share a more precise launch time closer to the release and that’s also when you’ll get the trailer. Delays are never wanted and obviously we’re no stranger to it, but these extra few days allows us to squash some bugs and ensure a smoother experience for everyone, especially with the holidays coming up and platforms closing for break which prevents our ability to heavily update the game. Thanks for your patience – we can't wait for you to play it!

    And without further ado, allow us to reveal the new Wasteland War keyart!

    Expected the delay, but glad too see it's not a long one. 

    Can't wait to get a wandering warship.

    The utter and total incompetence is mind boggling. Murphy's Law says they should have at least accidentally hit a release date by now. The one and and only thing you can count on from Wild Card is you can never count on them. It's laughable how bad they are . Like Joker 2 bad.

    It's weird how the poster art for the Animated Series... doesn't look anything like the art style of the animated series. You didn't use AI, did you ?

    What we need is to give those two the infrastructure they need to organize superevents like this on a semi-regular basis. Not weekly obviously, but often. Because I have discovered SO MANY Ark content creators from this video alone !

    I am in love with the RK-WL idea. Having alternatives to HLNA is a cool concept. Even if it's malfunctioning (...on purpose ?).

    The delay on aberration was so much worse, and the delays before then were way out of line. This is a genuine improvement. Imo I think you guys are bein a little ungrateful. Yes the delay sucks, but appreciate how small the delay is compared to the weeks that SE and Aberration was delayed.

    You have got to be kidding me , I took time off work based off of what you have been saying for over a month , even took an extra day in case there was a delay , shame on me tho for expecting wildcard to actually hit a release on time , been out over a year and same crap man , doubt I’ll continue to invest in these dlc add ons , already wasted enough money and time to be disappointed yet again

    Worst gaming company ever.. Sell it already so someone can do it right..more worried about releasing paid mods than fixing bugs or meeting deadlines...removing events to get what done nothing

    Heartbreaking.

    You had repeated it so many times people  believed that in monday they will fully jump into the Wastelands.

    And now you're telling you failed PC players, to please console players.

     

    Cross-play is a drag since the very beginning.

    To keep failing is not an improvement on failing. I'm not following how you think it is.

    Now this right here is "Very Expected Of Wildcard".  What's next, ark 2 is cancelled, what is going with you snail games 🤬. I even trusted y'all that maybe things have changed, guess I was wrong.

    How they stay in business is a wonder. If any of us were as bad at our jobs as Wild Card is with hitting release dates, we would be fired and laughed at on the way out.

    I don't mind the delay and it gives me a bit of extra time to get settled because a lot of other games I play just released their winter events today so yeah. Also to the person who asked in the art is AI. The answer is no. No it's not.  AI is good but out of all the AI bot's I've played with, not a sing one  knows how to do  a Parasaur.

    They really are. To keep failing over and over again is ridiculous.

    Who did not see this coming? you clowns are a joke. Every time. How about NOT giving a date if you can not meet the date. Any other line of work and you buffoons' would be fired. I wasn't expecting much and yet you still disappoint me. After this there will STILL be bugs and glitches. we all know you will nerf the doggo with in 7 hours to please the PVP crybabies.

    3 day delay compared to the average delays WC has had is a huge improvement and I have to give props where it is due. I don't think many people even had faith we would see extinction this year.

    You guys delay stuff so much, you should be pros at it by now, but instead you just fumble every time.

    If you're going to give us bad news, also show us something new and interesting about extinction to... you know... actually gets us excited about it and steer the conversation away from the delay.

    A quick gameplay teaser for the dreadnaughtus or the battle rigs would have been enough. Key art is not.

    There's probably so much chaos to desperately get extinction in a working state by Friday ( yes friday because you know damn well a "later in the day" PST launch on thursday is going to end up being friday) you cant even manage to get a trailer out.

    Was going to take this Friday off to get a nice opening weekend of play in, but seeing as Friday is basically launch day now, I'll have to rethink that idea.

    yeah im hopeing the map will be more playable then abberation was and still is cause on xbox series x the game is still not enjoyable for the most part and honestly i'd much rather have performance improvements and the unreal engine upgrade then a new map/dlc that will only last for a few launchs of the save and then start crashing/dashboarding upon trying to load it up... all the other maps are mostly doing that and if not when u play for 15min it crashes sure Extinction is being help back 3 extra days and im hopeing for the best but i am expecting the worst, meanwhile Windows10 Ark survival ascended is in a more playable/enjoyable state then console and this is comeing from a computer that doesn't meet the minimun requirements for the game...
