  • 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!

    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.

    Us console players have paid our money the same as PC players so yeah we should be pleased and any release should be simultaneous so that everyone has a chance to get to a map before its ridiculously pillered off.

    Which is too bad, considering Ark 2 sounded better than ASA in every way except third-person only gameplay.

    Wholeheartedly agree, and it really sucks that crossplay is so bad for official when PC players can have NASA PCs and load in faster than anyone else, but the issue there is that you're playing official lol (and not the console only servers, to boot). If I still played official, I'd be whining about turning off crossplay across the board and not just on some small cluster so the cheaty, whiny, toxic PC players elitists couldn't join my servers, but thankfully I don't and never will again, best decision of my life

    Il che è un peccato, considerando che Ark 2 sembrava migliore di ASA sotto ogni aspetto, fatta eccezione per il gameplay in terza persona.

    It could have had potential but it's already a lot if ASA doesn't fail.

    wildcard, how confident are you that the extinction servers will not crash 99% of the time we play on it like it was in ASE?

    we would like to play a little longer than just 1 week before it goes down...

    if this does not happen you actually fixed something. let's see. time will tell.

    We know it will be late even on the 19th probably  be out by 1 am the 20th. Becawildcard are bunch of clowns and if they go under because of snail good . Let a better company take over and  do a  better job at keeping release dates and  do a better job at game enforcement  . Video games are not meant to be stressful  and  devs had forgotten that .

    Man I wish wildcard would hire people that know what they are doing!  this is a great game, but run by idiots.  Cant hit a single date to save their lives.  Make it take so long to do anything, I mean when it takes two weeks of real life to raise a dino in a game its ridiculous.

    Cavolo, vorrei che la wildcard assumesse persone che sanno cosa stanno facendo! Questo è un gioco fantastico, ma gestito da idioti. Non riescono a trovare un singolo appuntamento per salvarsi la vita. Fanno sì che ci voglia così tanto tempo per fare qualsiasi cosa, voglio dire, quando ci vogliono due settimane di vita reale per crescere un dinosauro in un gioco è ridicolo. 

     

    but there is a problem, it is not the programmers who are incompetent but the managers and executives

    Hiring managers are also managers.  But when leadership says, "Just use ASE's code to save time", that isn't the current programmers' fault either.

    I do still expect better.
