Hey Survivors and welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch. We hope you’ve had time to dig into the high-level road map we shared last week and it’s awesome to see the community buzzing with excitement. Meanwhile we’ve been heads down tackling fixes for Extinction and working on upcoming content. Speaking of…

We are excited to announce that Astraeos, created by the talented Nekatus and sponsored by Nitrado, is ascending into being an Official Partner DLC

Originally slated as our “June Premium Map Surprise,” we’re bringing it forward–Astraeos will now launch on February 12th for $14.99 as a full-fledged and fully-supported DLC, instead of a Premium Mod! 

This stunning -264km² map will be available on all platforms and fully integrated into the main clusters with official servers, making it a seamless addition to your ARK worlds.

But the tale of Astraeos doesn’t end at launch. Like myths of old, it will grow over time as Nekatus continues to shape the world, adding new realms, updates and challenges worthy of the gods.

Mark your calendars for February 12th and prepare for a massive mythical adventure!

👋  hey wild card, we are facing some confusion as to what is "official" and what is "not offical".. for example the new giga snake, is it availave on official? It dosent say anywhere in the mod shop if it's gunna be on official servers or not. I find myself downloading mods and hoping for the best.. because i only play offical. To fix this, you could have a section for mods that are compatible with official servers via filters, or simply make a foot note on each mod if it's "official compatible" or not. I personaly dident buy the pyromane dcl for over a month until I seen it on official servers.. i asumed it was a bosted server creature. In reguards to this new map, i dident even kow it was offical untill i read the coments here online.. It would be nice to know what servers u can transfer too and from on offical. And what dinosaurs are available.  Please take this into consideration, thank you.  And P.S. not just the "paid mods" all the ones that are compatible with offical should be labeled as such. Bump this up to the top fam, in hopes the devs read it.

You all used to be so good to us. What happened? Why give us only half the rates this weekend? It seems like we've been having more problems lately while being treated unfairly/poorly. While you all were on vacation. Players were suffering from server crashes and downtime for several hours a day. No accountability or care on your part. Communication is a huge issue with this game. It's called customer service. 

You all seemed so convincing when I first returned to Ark, but now it's starting to look bad. If I would have known it was going to get worse. I may have never returned back to this game.

Is it really that hard to give us the usual weekend 2x on everything? It's not like we're begging for 3x 4x 5x... some of us have lives. The only time we can get things done in game is when we get these increases.

absolute dog poop crunch. Absolute laziness on wild cards part. Putting a modded map on officials? How lazy do you have to be? Noone cares for that crap. I understand he made fjordur and worked on other stuff, but this is a straight up mod map, we dont need this crap. We always waiting 2 years to get gen 2, what an absolute joke. This is so bad.

Can't even get servers right for extinction and you want me to pay 30 NZ to no be able to play. What a joke, pushing forward 5 months tells me your maps are not coming along fast enough copying code from ase to asa, same bugs same coding, and doing a money grab to keep lights on. So 1 week after roadmap release you just proven again how incompetent your company is. So what's the roadmap now?

 

Still no info about Ark2 but I assume like ASA it's a dying concept.

I can't speak for the rest of the community but this Astraeos being added as an official map DLC is really exciting, even with a price tag. I don't like messing with mods outside of smaller quality of life ones due to bugs and crashes losing progress but being an official map makes me eager to get the map

I agree
