Xbox Patch 51.1 Issue

[Tangleroot]

Why is the 1.51 update not ready or down loading on Xbox?  Been over an hour.

So with the problem with today’s patch where we (Xbox users) can’t access any pve servers, will WC be postponing Aug 3rd deletion of temp Center servers’ to allow players the opportunity to evacuate their toons, dinos, and gear?

So, from my understanding, PlayStation players are able to login and play after the update today with no issues. Xbox players, however, have been unable to login for hours, leaving us Xbox based tribes EXTREMELY vulnerable to raiders from PlayStation Tribes. While I'm sure SOME tribes are mixed between consoles, I suspect that most are either one console or the other, as your friends that you game with more often than not game on the same system as you.

 

This situation is incredibly unfair. I KNOW the scorched server I reside on very well...the second someone realizes what is going on, they will be soaking our turrets. I fully expect to return to our bases flattened and all of our tames gone, from carcar to the mutated vulture army I was in the process of creating. We will be starting from scratch because not one single member of our tribe owns a PlayStation. We will be zeroed. And for what? I have questions.....

WHY were the servers allowed to keep running when the powers that be realized this was happening ?

WHY was the update not just rolled back to previous version on console-only servers for the time being? 

WILL the dinos that are killed and stolen as a result of this update be replaced? 

HAVE they considered just rolling the servers back to the time of the update when they finally get it straightened out?

WHY do I care about ARK more than I care about RL? 

I can already hear the replies that will be coming:  "If you base couldn't hold up it's not Wildcard's fault" or some such. It absolutely is not our fault, though, as we all know attacking an offline base and a base with active members are two entirely different animals. We don't build a gazillion turrets spread over a square mile area like some tribes. We maintain our base in a more old school type of way----by being active 24/7/365, drilling emergency responses, assigning watch shifts,  assigning "stations" for raids when they come. Training and skill outperforms mindless automated defenses every single time. To me this is a much more enjoyable way to PVP than dumping 50 stegos in a fob and slogging your way through turrets for 8 hours. It's more personal, more real, and therefore more exciting! Not being able to get online and defend our base will literally be the death of us.

The choices the devs make on this issue today will set a precedent for the future. Think carefully, there are many new survival games coming soon, some of them to game pass for free. You may lose a very large base of customers who paid real money for their overpowered DLC tames and access to awful carts and trains that are useless in PVP but we bought them anyway for the silly little hat that came with it.

Sorry xboxers I feel your pain.

I just think its funny that both Windows and Xbox users seem to always get the shaft and WC is partnered with Micro$oft.

The irony is not lost.

Papa Gates needs to send over some programmers and sort this clusterf of a game out.
