  • Community Crunch 439: Winter Wonderland Is Nigh!

    Crunch_WW.png

    The night sky sparkles gifts falling from the sky, and the faint jingle of bells echoes across the ARK—it can only mean one thing: RaptorClaus is back! Sailing through the midnight sky in his festive sleigh, he’s dropping gifts packed with high-end loot, Mistletoe for the nice, and Coal for the naughty. Keep your eyes on the skies, Survivors—the holiday magic is about to begin!

    There's not been any Xbox servers online for any map at all since last night. For any map. What about those of us with Dino's growing or troughs that will need restocking?

    Come on now why is Xbox down still. We have been waiting patiently. Me and my tribe were in a cave waiting to come back online when y'all took us down. This wait is getting old real fast. Already lost dinos. Let's get a grip y'all.

    Guys... wth?

    image.png.bad27163aaa54aa42184c058e939752d.png

    What is this for? I'm getting them as I farm meat on center. Makes no sense?

    I might just summon exodia with them?!

     

    Also they don't match the game... maybe on ext, but not outside of it... what are they for? is it something you guys forgot?

    To incompetent to give a status update? Even after shutting down  25% of your players for more than 24 hrs? We can't even get a status check?!?! We all paid money to play a game you said we could, and you guys don't even have the spine to give us a status update? ... you're all bad at your jobs. 

    Please post an update at your earliest convenience and leave you letter of resignation on the the desk on your way out.  

    Regards, a paying customer.

    xbox players couldn't access their official servers for over 24 hours before we finally got the update, and no rollbacks? multiple bases have been wiped, numerous tames starved, items lost in upload. wildcard truly are the king of fumbling the bag.

    Auto decay was disabled when Xbox players couldn't access the game. Although it wouldn't have needed disabling on Extinction though.

    This is a real joke and not the kind you laugh at. Xbox delayed, hours waiting to get on a PVE server for last 2 days which you stand no chance as everyone full. PVP only 3 full. No comms to say new ones are coming, but who the fool as we're the ones still waiting and hoping one day you'll get it right. We are all truly delusional 😢 We missed a whole weekend of boosted rates and You can't even give us decent rates for the event, why do we all bother when you constantly sit flipping us the bird and laughing from your offices.

    Man, I'm on Steam and I can't get in either. I can't imagine Xbox people.

    Spent 2h spam joining yesterday *on the new servers* to just give up.

    Someone said "it's really madmax, you start fighting even to get in".

    It's like, the music get us all excited to just turn us off after an hour of trying. You start to hate it instead.

We were on an ob about to transfer. 3 boss rexes are beaver and 3 brand new wyvs. Just sitting on the green ob now cause we can't get back in. Man wild card y'all are a trip. Your pissing people off.

    Per usual, you broke the game, Studio Wildcard. People cannot log in. We get a content loading then content failed to load screen. Let me guess. It only impacts consoles lol. And only making the event 2x after all the utter bulls*** you have put your player base through over the last 4 days? What an absolute clown college!!!!

    BLACK SCREEN. Tried official and unofficial both give me a black screen after choose spawn location. After the 2 intro videos( Helena and bobs tales) I get a black screen with light scratchy building in the distance. Nothing has worked. Updating drivers, verifying files, even a ASA clean install. Nothing worked.
