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

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.

Have you ever used the Sir5vrm8 thing. Its bugged beyond belief. Cant blame that on ASEs old code. Not to mention the cosmetic system with 57 different menus and folders.

The new stuff is just as buggy and janky as the old stuff. Nothings changed really, its not a great operation from top to bottom. The concepts are always what kept this game afloat, certainly not the execution. 

Yeah right

News delay lol:)

The last minute delay for console certification on top of the current delay is kinda ridiculous.. shouldn't you have already planned for all this during the first delay?

Non credo che i manager e i dirigenti abbiano scritto il codice spaghetti per questo gioco.

yes you are right, but it is the managers who establish what and how many things to work on, deadlines that they punctually do not know how to respect because they do not know how to evaluate their skills, try to think of having to work on multiple projects with impossible deadlines that are continually changed, if the code is full of errors surely the rush with which they have to work does not help. In my opinion working in WC must not be pleasant.

Hai mai usato la cosa Sir5vrm8? È buggata oltre ogni limite. Non si può dare la colpa al vecchio codice di ASE. Per non parlare del sistema cosmetico con 57 menu e cartelle diversi.

Le novità sono altrettanto buggate e instabili quanto le vecchie. Non è cambiato niente, non è una grande operazione dall'inizio alla fine. I concetti sono sempre stati ciò che ha tenuto a galla questo gioco, di certo non l'esecuzione. 

yes you are probably partly right. but what would you do if you have a team with difficulties? would you make them work simultaneously on the development of the base game with its mechanics and elements while developing a support for mods, while producing a huge DLC bob teals, while creating another pay to win creature pack the fantastic themes, while planning seasonal events, while creating an experience like CLUB ARK? If you think about it they have done a lot of things while the game is still in early access! if they have to work on all these things together it is also normal that they do not come out well especially with the rush they have to have to meet impossible deadlines

How I feel. Got 4 days off in a row and the first one is spent waiting for this map to drop. Now I have tons of stuff to do at home and I wont be able to play for a couple of days really. I planned on being on for close to 24 hours just getting ahead, but now everyone will be way ahead of me and have all the good spots by the time I even get to play again. They couldve at least updated us again when they knew it was going to be a problem. Communication is key when people move their at home schedules around to match for release days. I didnt this time, but what if I had? Very disappointed right now. It would kill my pride if I was know as a company to never pull through when I say im going to. It shouldnt be a common and accepted thing in the community. This is probably one of the biggest reasons people fall off the game in my opinion.  

Bad communication WC!!!!

Come mi sento. Ho 4 giorni liberi di fila e il primo è stato speso aspettando che questa mappa uscisse. Ora ho un sacco di cose da fare a casa e non potrò giocare per un paio di giorni. Avevo programmato di stare lì per quasi 24 ore solo per andare avanti, ma ora tutti saranno molto più avanti di me e avranno tutti i posti buoni prima ancora che io possa giocare di nuovo. Avrebbero potuto almeno aggiornarci di nuovo quando sapevano che sarebbe stato un problema. La comunicazione è fondamentale quando le persone cambiano i loro programmi a casa per adattarli ai giorni di uscita. Questa volta non l'ho fatto, ma cosa sarebbe successo se l'avessi fatto? Sono molto deluso in questo momento. Mi ucciderebbe l'orgoglio se fossi conosciuto come azienda che non ce la fa mai quando dico che lo farò. Non dovrebbe essere una cosa comune e accettata nella comunità. Questo è probabilmente uno dei motivi principali per cui le persone abbandonano il gioco secondo me.  

but you are not very smart. they have never respected a date in their entire life and there are still people who organize their life based on their deadlines, have you thought of playing 24 hours in a row just to get a good seat and with a delay of 2 days you say that there will be no more room? if it is really like this maybe it would be better to change game like many of us have already done, but as long as there are people who wait and count every second from the release of a new content to pounce on it like a vulture on a carcass to move it, WC can beat you with a stick because you will go back to her waiting for the next poorly made and buggy content, WC is right to do it, they have been doing this for a whole year but there is still a part of players that play their game, why should they change? By continuing to play you are not giving them a reason to do it so they will continue to behave this way. If you want WC to have respect for the community, first of all the community should have respect for itself. I replied to your comment but I am not angry with you and I do not want you to be offended, I took your disappointment as a starting point to make a broader discussion.  

Why do you guys even put out a release date. You should just say it'll come out whenever we're ready. That way people don't make plans and try to have an event going. But I guess who's the real idiot? Us for thinking that you'd actually do something correct for once? 

Stop buying premium mods and hurt their pockets maybe then they will have the things certified before the release date

30k player wait 2 days on the release extension when come it now 😑 last minute say later ever 

Here is an idea... submit your expansions DAYS ahead of your projected launch date so that you are not waiting for certification from the platforms. 

Your DevOps habits and customer relationship could ALL use a major overhaul. I think I may apply there and clean house of the terrible employees that allow this to happen EVERY SINGLE LAUNCH. Have you never heard of "lessons learned"? How about doing a post-mortem on all your failures of this nature to determine WHERE the root cause lies and then addressing it? Pathetic.

And then windows and Xbox players are even further pushed away from extinction? Man, y'all really can't plan for anything. I guess I'll be ready to finally try extinction next time around whenever that is eh? Hopfully I won't be screwed out of every solid base spot since PVP base spots have been getting nerfed or removed since island.

You can always turn to Steam or PS.
(Less chat censoring too)

If it's worth even doing that. From what I've seen from others alpha tree, skylight, and wasteland cave are all gone. There's only a couple viable base locations for PVP left. Im hoping they remake the map and make an update fixing the lacking of viable base spots in PVP. That and the gatchas nerf is honestly atrocious. I get changing meta but if we keep removing it entirely we won't have a fun PVP experience whatsoever.

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.

I didn't wrote but I mean - there should be separate servers. Thats all
