Havokpaintedwolf Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 agreed hell ill settle for a just a look at what one of the trees on the map looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogspoison Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I prefer less hype, more... anticipation. Honestly, would like it if all of a sudden the Ark Devs go 'Hey guys, we are releasing Extinction in a week", and then, BOOM- Extinction servers go up, and we can explore ALL of the new map with 0 spoiles - Be all like "WAAARGH DILO BUILDING SQUISH ME" or whatever new mechanics they got.

Guest DJRone89 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I agree with @Frogspoison But on the other scale, Scorched Earth didn’t have any hype. We heard rumours of a desert biome, and partial dossiers begun to a appear, then suddenly the DLC launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flakz Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Honestly the less we know, the more fun it's going to be to explore it once it's out. Loved the way SE released. all just BOOM and then panic and hype came all over the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator GP Posted May 17, 2018 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2018 If there's hype then all I feel we'll see is "FIX THE GAME INSTEAD OF WORKING ON PAID DLC". I'd prefer they just work on it in silence whilst the rest of us enjoy what we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreg Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Sorry, only just recently got back into the game after a couple months break. Is this a new DLC as I haven't heard anything about it. Is it a new map the same as SE/Ab was? Any idea of when it will be and any leaked information as yet? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdligerAdler Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I feel no excitement at all and I hope it won't release anytime soon. Not in the mood for starting on a new map. Make it December like Aberration. I can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martellus Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I believe it was aimed at a summer release? Could anyone confirm the last estimate? I hope genetics lab / genetic mapping becomes a thing in this one with potential hybrids or small features we could add to existing animals.

DarthaNyan Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hype kills games. It is much better to be pleasantly surprised when something gets released than be disappointed because the end product does not fit the image you built of it during the hype.

I agree with all of you who mention this. I am also taking it nicely, I still have much to do on the existing maps. Though an estimate for release would be nice. Scorched Earth as it came out of the blue was awesome to me, but it got into the whole expansion during Early Access debate, I still loved it and its one of my favorite maps which brought very cool creatures to the fold. For Extinction, as you mentioned, keeping the hype low will help the new expansion provide some level of positive surprises. I still wander what will be the theme on this one, we had Aberration which is kinda of sci-fi alien, Avatar like. Then Scorched Earth is very mythological. I keep wondering whats next. Cheers!

It would be nice to see a screenshot of something, or a broken picture like with aberration. Just something to show we didnt give wildcard money for an expansion and we might get something someday.

Originally they had listed Spring 2018 but then they removed that post from the forums, so who knows. They aren't really discussing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanOWar Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Probably in the same place where the dev's keep their will to fix bugs/give people solutions to the plethora of game issues their players run into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinJapman4 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I lost hype for anything after Scorched, and got a little back with the TLC passes. But not enough for me to really care about Extinction. Probably won't buy it. Might even uninstall Ark for a bit to make room for some other game I haven't played in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really comparing Blizzard to an indie dev team? Sure Wildcard are backed by Snail Games but who are they in comparison to Blizzard?

AngrySaltire Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I would be expecting to maybe hear something during E3 if WC go to that ? So maybe the hype will start then ? Am not clued up on these game conferences mind you so maybe at one later in the year? Would rather they took their time and got it right, more like with Scorched rather than have another Aberattion situation Hopefully in the mean time we'll get more polish to the game through bug fixes etc maybe even more TLC dino passes or S+ integration. Am fine with waiting at the moment, I have a bigger fish to fry next month in the video game department to distract me, although I am certainly looking forward to the DLC whenever it comes.

No, im saying that there are other companies who hype up the next expansion over a year in advance and we still have nothing. Guess we just have to wait for them to make an announcement, then delay it 6 months, then release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
