TheScribeHD Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Do you Think Ark Extinction DLC will be Delayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowletAlex Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Honestly, I think it’s gonna come on time for once. I have this feeling it was already delayed, and they set themselves a really far off goal from reveal to give themselves plenty of time to complete it. I think it’s more likely to come out on the 7th or 8th, due to minor delays, but any major delays would be 2 weeks max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoMogAgain Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think Extinction will be delayed because I agree with the rumour mill and WildCard has a reputation for always being late... BUT I'm always wrong, so it will actually arrive on time ! So just like RowletAlex, I can be both right and wrong at the same time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w00pster Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I don't think it will be delayed, but I do think a lot of people - like myself - will hold off on buying it. While there do seem to be a few new bells and whistles, their track record of not fixing things and just rolling on to something new has left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm still waiting on them to implement things like s+, or address things in the current game/maps like tame cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I am not expecting it to be delayed and if its delayed so be it (things happen), I wont lose sleep over it. Even if it is delayed I am not that fussed really, got plenty out with Ark and also in Ark to keep me occupied anyway. More to life than a computer game anyway.

Demerus Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It will release on time but will be a train wreck of bugs and will have multiple patches the first week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release in August/Sep is not true, it was originally planned for Spring 2018, then after Aberration came it got changed to "2018" and only after the launch of the Trailer on June 19th it was shown that November 6th was the release date. That said, it might indeed already be delayed as the Steam Store Page just says November now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martellus Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think they will hit the mark this time. I am taking easy though, I have other projects I am currently engaged on so I can just swap things around if needed. I do look forward to the content though, Ark has by far been one of my favorite games (if too grindy though). Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellBoyRok95 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 If they precise their date this time, it probably won't happen, because the past dlc didn't have their precise launch date once announced, but i'm aware they could push back exctinction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewiatan Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 They are in crunch time to release the game on time, so the chance of premiere delay is high. That means the managment failed to plan DLC development correctly and employees have to stay at work after their normal work hours. DLC is not in gold state yet less than 2 weeks before planned premiere. Not to mention DLC hasn't been sent to Sony and Microsoft for certification yet. I think WC will honour their tradition and will delay the launch of DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So "crunch time" and "gone for certification" are mutually exclusive, unless SWC sent an incomplete build/version for certification . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post suggests that M$ take about a week longer for certification than Steam and Sony... https://medium.com/@Xander51/the-xbox-one-certification-patching-process-is-too-slow-832d9101c8d5 And this post makes for an interesting read about certification https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/inside-look-at-the-certification-process/28759 As outsiders though, we don't really know what is involved with the crunch. For all we know, Extinction might have gone to certification. The Crunch might be preparation of publicity material, getting ready for the charity event and getting influential youtubers and streamers into the map.

Ark dev admitted the entire studio is in crunch time. On arkdevtracker.com you can find it. I made an educated guess basing on that information and delayed releases of WC from the past.

The crunch in game industry means: All hands on board to finish the project/game before deadline, because we are behind the schedule or managment departament failed to plan development properly or unrealistic deadline was set.

flamron Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I think the question isn’t IF it will be delayed. The question should be, “How poorly will Wildcard handle the announcement that Extinction is delayed.” Will Snail Games take over more game modes after this delay is another question I am curious to see play out.

Is it possible they sent it in awhile ago, already going gold and are just throwing patches at them? Just not publicly downloadable yet? Not sure if that makes sense. If there is a public site to view if it has certification by all means link it. https://arkdevtracker.com/?post=ajqmdrmb I also found this for anyone curious when they said they were in crunch mode.

SaltyMonkey Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I honestly think it’s complete and currently in certification for console as we speak. Remember way back when they used to give us ETA’s and most went over that period? They probably had a completion date for mid October and took into account the cert process time for consoles in order to release the content across all platforms at the same time. Of course I could be completely wrong but I’m being optimistic for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenOverlord Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm thinking it won't release for at least a week or 2 past the 6th. My prediction on how they deliver the news is total radio silence. Not a single peep or apology on any platform. BUT I'm still going to wait patiently like a good little fan boy and play the crap out of it once it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
