I agree I was willing to give WC the benefit of the doubt when the game was in preview/alpha/beta, etc. But now that it's post launch the fact that the first 90 day patch post launch for a game is generally used to fix the most egregious and game stopping bugs and yet they are focused on getting the dlc out the gate, they need to finish and polish the core game first.

Usually, DLC announcements come AFTER the 90-day patch not before, and certainly not this close to launch day. I mean unless WC has organized themselves better where they have a team dedicated towards the DLC and another towards bug fixing, then I could understand. But as far as I know, the staffing hasn't grown by that much. Anyone know different?

I don't know, I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I mean, it's another ark to have fun in, on the other, I feel that their time could be better spent on more important things right now.

Description from the Steam-Page:

Waking up on ‘Aberration’, a derelict, malfunctioning ARK with an elaborate underground biome system, survivors face exotic new challenges unlike anything before: extreme radioactive sunlight and environmental hazards, ziplines, wingsuits, climbing gear, cave dwellings, charge-batteries, and far more, along with a stable of extraordinary new creatures await within the mysterious depths. But beware the ‘Nameless’: unrelenting, Element-infused humanoids which have evolved into vicious light-hating monstrosities! On Aberration, survivors will uncover the ultimate secrets of the ARKs, and discover what the future holds in store for those strong and clever enough to survive!

AN ARK GONE AWRY
Aberration places survivors on a damaged ARK: its internal atmosphere has leaked away, resulting in a harsh surface with intense radiation, and a plethora of lush biomes underground. With the maintenance systems of this ARK malfunctioning, the many hazards, creatures, and nature of the environment present a thrilling new world to explore and master.

TAME NEW CREATURES
The intense radiation of Aberration has led to incredible genetic mutations, resulting in new creatures with amazing abilities! Among others, clamber up walls & glide through the air on the back of a camouflaging chameleon-like ‘Rock Drake’, keep the dark at bay with a friendly ‘Lantern Pug’, grab and toss multiple creatures simultaneously with a massive ‘Cave Crustacean’, or -- if you are talented enough to tame one -- command the vile ‘Nameless Queen’ to impregnate your foes with a horrifying reproductive chest-burster!

CRAFT OVER 50 NEW ITEMS
New tools are on-hand to survive on the world of Aberration, while opening up many possibilities for new competitive and cooperative scenarios. Traverse the ARK using cave-climbing picks, gliding wingsuits, and ziplines. Learn advanced engrams to dominate the harsh environment, protect yourself with hazmat outfits, charge lanterns, explosive rounds, batteries, glowsticks, railguns and much more. Thrive by gathering new resources, using fishing baskets, gas collectors, fortify your home within the caverns using cliff structures, and much more!

CONQUER NEW CHALLENGES
Earthquakes, radiation exposure, gas leaks, and Element chambers are among the many hazards that survivors will learn to grapple with Aberration’s varied biomes, both aboveground and below the surface. But among the greatest challenges on this ruined ARK is the hierarchy of unrelenting Nameless, requiring constant vigilance & Charge Energy to defend against! And in the deepest depths of Aberration, their terrifying -- yet somehow familiar -- master awaits… will YOU be among the survivors powerful enough to face him?

;)

Ok, well, my one thing I have been on and wanting since I was on the bug testing team was, I want WC to make some kind of progress on the whole "Unofficial Console Server being hostable on a PC"  thing that Jat and I and several others were talking about a while ago. If I could do that, then honestly I think I could be happy because and I dont mean to be mean, I hate official servers, I've just had too many bad experiences to ever go back to them. I love unofficials especially unofficials with friendly folks on them. Not saying I'm a complete carebear but I like unofficials because they have rules and standards and enforce them. I would love to be able to do that for console players as well as the PC players I already do that for.

Honestly at this point I should just open up my own hosting service :P

since I must say I want more the official server. because many private servers were very often very bad support, updates etc, and many were quickly re-gewiped or dislocated or turned off ... whereby I am still still the opinion that there should be synonymous support for legacy. at least the who whom the opening stress has diminished.
