Defeating him will award everyone who participated, including a chance of new cosmetic rewards Default time for Unofficial servers and Singleplayer is set to spawn at 19:00:00 Local Time Official server spawn times: EU 19:00 UTC NA 00:00 UTC OC 06:00 UTC ASIA 03:00 UTC Unofficial server owners can override this with “WorldBossKingKaijuSpawnTime=19:00:00” in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] Element dust/shard conversion recipes that are usually found within Extinction’s city terminals have also been added to the Tek Replicator Meks are now spawned in the world immediately when crafted New Hangar & Barn doors for each tileset Improved Tek Bridges SIR-5rM8 can now wear hats Added a headshot multiplier to several creatures that did not have one previously Endless OSDs (Legendary) will now award endless rewards instead of capping at around wave 13 Element reward from bosses across all maps have been increased by 20% Pegomastax now have a toggleable ability to automatically pick up Gacha crystals in a radius that scales with its level The distance that other pairs of Gacha can be near to each other without causing unhappiness has been reduced by 33% Gachas will become unhappy within caves Developer Note: These changes aim to address concerns about the impact of Gacha farms, particularly its tendency to encourage the use of scripts and bots for competitive advantage. This aligns with our focus on creating more opportunities for players to both defend and attack valuable targets outside of caves. We recognize the value players placed on the element income provided by Gachas and hope the Pegomastax’s new ability, reduced spacing requirements between Gacha pairs, and increased element rewards from bosses across all maps, will help offset the increased risk of maintaining Gacha farms. Unofficial server owners can override this with “ForceGachaUnhappyInCaves=false” in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] Added a config for unofficial server owners to override the cooldown for Armadoggo to reappear after taking fatal damage (in seconds), default is set to 1 hour. Must be greater than 0. “ArmadoggoDeathCooldown=3600” in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] Additional Server related params/config options for using a “usestore” save system which combines player profiles, tribe data, and the world save into one single file. Note: This is not new, but not previously documented to our knowledge and what we use on our Official Network. -converttostore (imports the current player and tribe data into the .ark save file) Run with -converttostore -usestore and then the next time you relaunch, you should not need -converttostore as all the data will be integrated. Important to note: .arkprofile & .arktribe files are not automatically deleted after conversion so should be deleted manually if you want to save storage space. -usestore (utilizes a different saving method that stores player and tribe data inside of save files) Important to note: when rolling back save data simply do as normal and all the arkprofile and arktribe data will be in sync with the backup save already. Bug Fixes Fixed Bronto’s feet sometimes deforming when attacking targets from behind Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause players to disconnect when accessing the inventory of a creature that has a rider Adjusted the depth at which Basilo will start taking damage on The Center to fix them taking damage when at the surface at some locations Fixed Karkinos being blocked by small creatures Fixed creatures being carried in Karkinos’ right claw causing issues for movement Fixed Megalosaurus gaining sleep debt when awake on Aberration Fixed Treasure maps not showing the treasure ping location correctly Fixed Treasure maps sometimes not activating Fixed Treasure chests preventing inventory access of objects above it Fixed Reaper King babies not damaging players correctly Fixed an issue that caused different carrier traits to add their weight reduction to each other Fixed Archelon cloning costs being too high Fixed Thorny Dragon’s audio attenuation Fixed Chibi Bulbdog’s Pumpkin being too large Fixed Fire Wyvern wearing a Bone costume having invisible fire breath Fixed Bone Stego costume jaw clipping Fixed a KB&M issue on PlayStation that prevented items from being dragged in the inventory Fixed Raptor Pin animation not displaying for some clients Fixed being unable to unequip armor while near the inventory slot cap Fixed player character’s legs bending oddly when on rafts Fixed Photo Mode camera jitter when attached to players & creatures Fixed Parasaur’s turret mode VFX not persisting when leaving render Fixed an issue with Aberration’s supply crate beam VFX Fixed Zeppelin spawning issue while using some languages Fixed saddle clipping with Gallimimus’ saddle Fixed a typo in Spear’s description Fixed some text discrepancies for creature traits Fixed several false positive anti-mesh locations on The Center Fixed several map holes on The Center Fixed several server crashes Fixed several meshing exploits We've kicked off final steps/preparations to release the update containing Extinction & Wasteland War. This was a decision we weighed carefully as it will be only on PC and PlayStation at this point in time. Xbox and Windows users will unfortunately need to wait for the update to clear certification. Currently, the certification process is taking 4x longer than the usual turnaround time. Microsoft is actively investigating our issue, but at this time, we don't have an ETA yet as to when our submission will be approved nor do we have much insight into the reason for the delay. As we want to ensure we have the ability to do more patches post-release, we're unable to hold back the release any further but as soon as we become unblocked on the Microsoft platforms, we'll immediately release the update for our Xbox and Windows players. In order to mitigate the potential damage to players who can't join, we'll have item and dino uploads from Extinction temporarily disabled until all platforms are in parity. We expect to go live shortly. View full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S790jdsteve13 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 So you’re saying you lied why am I not surprised what happen to never releasing maps separately between platform.. I know no one at wildcard will ever read this they don’t read comments if they did they would of listened to their community years ago but here we are.. yes I just wasted 5 mins of my life writing a comment that will accomplish nothing if I had any sense it would be the last 5 mins I ever give this company again.. why do such amazing games have to be made by such poorly run studios… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimalWitch Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 In a cross play platform server (I'm on Xbox) when I'm able to get on the other players will have all the good locations taken! Should have waited to release it to everyone at once! 😡 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uselesscj Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) Been playing since beta of ASE. I don’t understand how you can fail every single time and not be able to fix it. You had this same issue with Xbox certification before. Did nobody figure out why it happened last time? You have to have at least one full time person with Microsoft who you work with for these releases. How did this not get fixed after last time? If this wasn’t such an amazing game you would have lost everyone long ago. The failed releases far outnumber the successful ones. At the moment there are 412 other games on GamePass that don’t seem to have this issue releasing updates. And I’m sure whoever is in charge of the Ark account at Microsoft isn’t on their first day on the job. So it seems to point to WC as the problem.

CaptainKirk295 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 Xbox doesn't have yet which puts us at an unfair advantage of all the others. This is not cool. Hope that you planning to wipe those servers to make it a fair advantage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordPoof Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 So it's not really live yet is it since Xbox and Windows are still down. Y'all are quite literally a joke for this. Several delays later and half the players can't even hop in the game to play the second biggest competitive map next to gen2. And acting like you're doing something different with transfers when you're not as a way to make it sound better is honestly insult to injury. The second most competitive map and by the time everyone will be able to even play on it all the good building spots are going to be taken. Seriously what's the point of lying to us if you can't ever get the dates and times right? You can say it's Microsofts fault but when it's your job to think and plan ahead for that when you've got a community waiting after it already being delayed. "Wee hours of the morning" it honestly would've made more sense to just flat out delay it longer than give a huge advantage over to one side of the community.
